Frontier Airlines A320
Frontier Airlines pilot leaders—frustrated with the slow pace of contract talks—plan to ask members, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), for authority to strike if negotiations break down and the federal government authorizes a walkout. ALPA's Frontier Airlines Master Executive Council (MEC) voted unanimously Aug. 9 to conduct a strike-authorization ballot that will open Aug. 22 and close Sept. 8.

Programs for Teachers
Newberry Teachers' Consortium
Challenging the widespread depiction of Martin Luther King as winning equal rights for African Americans is the story of SNCC, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. These black and white students risked their lives to organize black southerners and help them win their own rights. This seminar will explore the broader civil rights movement, and then focus in on its activist, grassroots phase through the study of SNCC. We will emphasize the importance of individuals in such struggles, the varied roles they played within the movement, and the nature of social activism in the United States.
Seminar led by Cheryl Greenberg, Trinity College

Book: Medical Anthropology at the Intersections: Histories, Activisms, and Futures
YaleNews features works recently or soon to be published by members of the University community. Descriptions are based on material provided by the publishers. Authors of new books may forward publishers' book descriptions to us by email.
Medical Anthropology at the Intersections: Histories, Activisms, and Futures
Edited by Marcia C. Inhorn, the William K. Lanman Jr. Professor of Anthropology and International Affairs, and Emily A. Wentzell
(Duke University Press)
In this collection, prominent scholars who helped to establish medical anthropology as an area of study reflect on the field's past, present, and future. They demonstrate that medical anthropology has developed dynamically, through its intersections with activism, with other subfields in anthropology, and with disciplines as varied as public health, the biosciences, and studies of race and ethnicity.
Each of the contributors addresses one or more of these intersections. Some trace the evolution of medical anthropology in relation to fields including feminist technoscience, medical history, and international and area studies. Other contributors question the assumptions underlying mental health, global public health, and genetics and genomics, areas of inquiry now central to contemporary medical anthropology. Essays on the field's engagements with disability studies, public policy, and gender and sexuality studies illuminate the commitments of many medical anthropologists to public health and human rights activism.

Lois Lambert Gallery is pleased to present Martiros Adalian's "Caution." An opening reception will be held Saturday, November 15 from 6-9 PM. The works will be on view through January 4, 2015.
Adalian creates large-scale mixed media paintings, using acrylic, oil, and spray paint, caution tape, and lace. His use of various elements create a multi-dimensional and multi-textual effect that adds a sense of motion and energy to his pieces.
Martiros paints figurative portraits in the manner of artists like Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck, and puts them into a new context by incorporating contemporary elements like spray painted graffiti and yellow caution tape. This unique combination of aesthetics, classical portraiture along with street art influence, is intended to fuse together the old and the new by connecting two distinct styles of art. The juxtaposition in his pieces, traditional subject matter along with contemporary elements, seeks to question authority by giving historical figures of power new context.
Adalian's process begins by what he refers to as "digging," the collection of digital and print images that inspire him. Then he delves right into the artistic process and begins to paint.
Martiros' career as the head designer of a fabric company influences his work. Many of his paintings feature clothing or have a rich amount of texture, which showcase his knowledge of patterns and material.
Martiros Adalian graduated from Terlemezian Art College of Yerevan, Armenia, and moved to the U.S. in 1990. Adalian has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the U.S., Europe, and Russia.Bergamot Station 2525 Michigan Ave, E3 Santa Monica, CA 90404

Auburn's depth chart has finally been released, and that starting group gives me a lot of confidence. There's some young guys, but there's a lot of experience, too, especially on the offensive line, and everywhere there's talent.
The starting lineup is mostly as expected. We all heard earlier today that Darren Bates would be the starting safety, which doesn't worry me too much. It's nice to have experience, but in my (admittedly non-professional) experience, defensive backs, wide receivers, and running backs (in that order) have the easiest transition from high school to college ball. It will be interesting to see how Mike McNeill works back into the lineup as he gets healthy again.The things that jumped out at me, especially on defense, apparently are due to injuries. I'd still like to know when the injured-but-expected-to-play-this-season will be back. I noticed Antoine Carter is nowhere to be found, apparently because of injuries. I feel pretty good about the four guys listed for the ends, but of course a team can always use more depth (especially in the form of a talented pass rusher). Spencer Pybus is also still injured, but when gets back that's a very serviceable six-man rotation at linebacker.
In fact, for all the talk (and my own worries) about depth issues, the defense is looking pretty solid. A lineup of Josh Bynes, Craig Stevens, and Eltoro Freeman (if completely healthy) is in the top three or four in the conference. The starting defensive backfield isn't quite as talented, but the unit is deeper overall. Most of those guys have seen a good bit of playing time, and several of them (like D'Antoine Hood) can play more than one position. The defensive line is talented and deep enough.
The biggest surprise on offense is seeing only two wide receivers, but that makes sense. Gus Malzahn sticks to the strengths of his teams, and the running game is going to be how this offense makes its living. Plus, Auburn's got too much tight end talent to ignore the position, as so many spread offenses do.
But in the long run, I think Malzahn will be increasingly likely to open up the offense and pass more. There's a whole lot of young receiving talent (and, when Billings returns, experienced receiving talent). Between Terrell Zachery, Kodi Burns, Darvin Adams, DeAngelo Benton, and Emory Blake, Auburn's going to have some options at wide receiver, if not immediately as everybody gets comfortable, then by the end of this season or the beginning of next year.
Am I being overconfident? Have I watch too many pump-up videos getting ready for the season to start? I don't know, but I don't think so. Despite the talk of all the doom-and-gloomers, remember that this is mostly the same group expected to win the Western Division last year. I'm not going so far as to predict a divisional title (because the Western Division is going to be fierce this year), but more and more I think Auburn is going to surprise the prognosticators this year.

While I think it's crazy to create new entitlements, stimulus packages, and giving civilian federal workers pay raises while proposing deep defense cuts, I don't think defense spending should be exempt from austerity measures. Our current system, a genorous welfare state sustained by the productive work of a shrinking sliver of the population, is not working.
Part of my confidence in the ability to cut defense spending is based on my view that much of what our country does in the nature of "defense" is wrong-headed and interventionist foreign policy, rooted in the notion that we must perpetually be involved "ensuring stability" and "spreading democracy." Cutting this will do much to save money.
From a strictly numbers perspective, the size of our uniformed military does not seem extravagent. But the spending certainly is, based as it is on the idea of massive foreign bases in Europe and Asia, welfare-style spending at home for the military and its numerous contractors, and, above all, the idea that we must be involved everywhere all the time. We shold have a strong military, capable of defending America from all threats, securing sea lanes, protecting our borders, destroying terrorist camps, and projecting conventional and nuclear power overseas in the event of a real threat. But there is no reason the DoD cannot cut a lot, and Republicans who fall overthemselves to exempt this one piece of the government from scrutiny as if the Cold War were still raging are foolish.
Marine Major Peter Munson over at his blog, stated the matter as follows:
In what world is spending more than the next ten nations combined on defense not enough? I believe that is the figure we will be at after the coming cuts. Right now we are spending more than the next 19 countries, only two of which could be called potential adversaries. After yesterday's strategic guidance announcement, the hand-wringing and incriminations were enough to make me ill. It started with on the ride into work with LtGen Dave Deptula, Ret, who has now been elevated to the man who designed the air war in Desert Storm, evidently single-handedly. I do not remember his exact words on NPR, but I believe the sound bite they pulled out was "disastrous." There were plenty of other hyperbolic epithets thrown around, my favorite of which said something to the effect of "it's all good until there's another Pearl Harbor." Maybe I am a naif, but I just do not buy any of it. I think the DoD needs deep, deep cuts if it is to escape the decadence of its ways that a decade of unconstrained spending has brought about.

It's pilot season in the television industry and the networks are announcing pilot orders left and right. And it seems that this years "big thing" is remaking properties from the 1980s. I've already discussed ABC's new version of V here. That network has also ordered a pilot based on the 1987 film The Witches of Eastwick (based on the novel by the late John Updike).
But television has already tried producing a small screen version of The Witches of Eastwick. Twice. NBC shot a pilot for fall 1990 starring Catherine Mary Stewart, Julia Campbell and Ally Walker. FOX tried an updated version, one that would focus on the sons of the "witches" from the movie, with Lori Loughlin, Marcia Cross and Kelly Rutherford. Both attempts failed. NBC burned its version off on June 28th, 1992 (following another failed pilot, "Yesterday / Today", starring Nick Gregory as a big shot high school football star who suddenly wakes up from a 20-year coma). The FOX version has never been broadcast. I can't say I have any special insight into the minds of network chiefs, but if the first try didn't work and the second try didn't work, I wouldn't try again.
But The Witches of Eastwick wasn't the only film the networks tried adapting for television in 1990. Working Girl, Uncle Buck and Ferris Bueller were among those that actually made it on the air, although none lasted more than a season. Unsold attempts included television versions of Steel Magnolias, Big and K-9, in addition to The Witches of Eastwick. NBC also adapted 1989's Parenthood into a half-hour sitcom starring Ed Begley, Jr. Brandon Tartikoff actually ordered the series before the film hit theaters. The show ran for all of 12 episodes.
And now, according to Variety.com, NBC is trying it again. This version will be an hour-long comedy/drama updated to fit today's society. So it won't be a remake of the movie or the subsequent television series but will retain the trappings of the movie? I can't see viewers tuning in simply because this new show shares the title of a popular film two decades ago. But if the cast is compelling and the writing tight, there's no reason to believe the show can't succeed. I just don't see why there has to be any connection to Parenthood. The premise is vague enough that unless the writers can replicate the exact tone of the movie — and viewers are still drawn to it — there will be nothing to distinguish from any number of similar shows.
Given that the networks seem to be on a late 1980s/early 1990s kick these days, I'm hopeful someone will announce an update of ABC's short-lived 1991 drama My Life and Times, starring Tom Irwin. It wasn't based on a movie, though, so I'm not going to get my hopes up.

It took a couple of weeks, but the National Lacrosse League has taken action concerning the bench-clearing brawl (a cliche, I know, but appropriate) between the Bandits and Toronto two weeks ago in a scrimmage in Six Nations, Ontario.
A total of 32 players were disciplined. That's a lot.
Here's the list, from the league's news release:
Game Misconducts:
Buffalo – Joe Smith*, Brett Bucktooth (2), Chris Corbeil, Jason Crosbie*, Chad Culp, Tom Montour, Holden Vyse*.
Toronto – Tim O'Brien, Ryan Dilks*, Jeff Gilbert, Stephen Hoar, Stephan Leblanc, Rob Marshall, Brice Queener*
Game Misconduct & Fine (for leaving bench):
Buffalo – Elijah Printup*, Kyle Schmelze*, Steve Priolo, Wayne VanEvery*, Travis Irving, Ian Llord, Isiah Kicksnoway*, Brandon Francis, Jeff Powless
Toronto—Blaine Manning, Pat Saunders, Geoff McNulty*, Damon Edwards*, Kyle Ross, Glen Bryan*, Mike Hobbins
One-Game Suspensions:
Buffalo – Rusty Kruger*
Toronto-- Pat Campbell
*denotes players not on team's current 23-man active roster
Boil it down from a Buffalo perspective, and no one on the active roster will miss any time in the regular season.
The teams had played a rough game until everything broke loose in the third quarter. All 12 men on the floor became involved, and then a couple of players jumped off the bench and were followed by all their teammates. The referees just sent everyone home after a while, choosing not to finish the game.
If this had happened at a Sabres' preseason game, it would have started a conversation that lasted a month. We'll see if there's carryover in this case to the regular season.

If you have been waiting to redeem your steam key, you can now head over to the store and redeem it.
The hosting arrangement for our forums has always been a bit strange, but now it seems they have suspended our forum database service and restructured their website.
Everything we're doing is taking longer than expected, so instead of announcing the thing we are releasing I'm going to rant for a while about what we are working on. We are working on steam keys for our backers and a big content update.

Can anyone help with an annoying engine management light issue.
Almost every day my management light comes on and I lose turbo ability on my ttid Aero vert.
P2279 is the code, oil pressure is fine,egr is clean, injectors are not leaking, and the main hose by the battery is fine as are most of hoses I can get too.
Interesting thing I've just realised; the light comes on when I'm in 3rd it 4th gear and the road ahead goes downhill all of a sudden and I come off the gas a little. So it's not pressure, it's the opposite if that make sense?
Crazy love my 93, but at the moment, the poor thing needs a good doctor 😢

The Milky Way is dying, or is dead, by the lever of oblivion;
A billion suns will be shattered by the cleaver of oblivion.
I remember not the love songs lost or the updraughts of passion;
Drowned in sea of disdain, I am a believer of oblivion.
She will reap a million vows of my opponents over tulips;
The seamstress of her nightdress is a weaver of oblivion.
Gentry float on velvet strips to the banquet of the chosen,
I stumble over brambles like a retriever of oblivion.
In the end, no wind will shake the mellowing sheaf of barley,
No god, no man, no infant can be the deceiver of oblivion.
En route to tryst with elements, a black rose shed its petals.
The afternoon in the dust stood as the griever of oblivion.
Uma, let me sing to the full the swan song of my essence,
I am toppling down the hillock into the river of oblivion.

Well known local couple Cathy and Karl Smith have recorded a CD to raise money for the Royal British Legion, and to mark the forthcoming anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.
The talented husband and wife duo will launch the CD at a special night in Coleraine Royal British Legion next Saturday, November 14.
Containing four related tracks, the CD has been completely self funded.
Cathy told The Times: "After watching a programme about charity work for war veterans, we decided that we could raise some funds to help veterans locally, by doing something we both enjoy - singing!"
"Being from Northern Ireland, we felt that the forthcoming Centenary of the Somme would be ideal, as local men from both sides of the community fought and died in the Somme.
"We choose 4 war related tracks - two sombre and two that were a little more upbeat. The CD includes, 'The green fields of France', 'Danny Boy', 'Its a long way to Tipperary' and 'Pack up your troubles'.
The CD, priced at £9.95, is available either by contacting Cathy or Karl on 07841 350335/07860 438633, or via email email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com., or come along to the launch night.

Best friend, confidant or the funny man, call them as you wish. Their job is to make us laugh, do as the protagonist say, give advices to the protagonists and sometimes even give their life for them. Some films would not have been complete without these characters.
So, here's a tribute to some memorable Bollywood sidekicks who gave us sterling performances….
Circuit in the Munnabhai Series played by Arshad Warsi became one of the most adorable sidekicks in the Hindi film industry. He was the perfect partner in crime Munnabhai could have ever got. He was to Munnabhai what Genie was to Alladin – "Bhai ne bola hain toh hain".
Every character in Andaz Apna Apna has long been etched in our mind. But since we're discussing sidekicks I'll concentrate on Robert and Bhalla, played superbly by Viju Khote and Shehzad Khan. Both were sidekicks to Teja (Paresh Rawal). Who can forget their dialogues like "Sorry sir, galti se mistake hogaya", "Verrrry smaart" and "Plan ke mutabiqq".
Asrani played Chitragupt in one of the most under-rated laugh out comedies of Bollywood "Taqdeerwala". He was immensely likeable as a full time sidekick to Yamraaj (Kader Khan) and part time headache to inspecter Ranjit Singh (Anupam Kher).
Played outrageously by Shakti Kapoor, Nandu's accent, his mannerisms and his attire were among the highlights of "Raja Babu" for which he is remembered till date. And of course, how can we forget his dance in the song "Ah aa ee" where in all loyalty he is helping Govinda woo his girl.
I was confused if whether Bankhey was a sidekick to Kader Khan or Govinda in Dulhe Raja. You will feel the same once you have watched this film. That is the charm of the character played superbly by Johny Lever.
Johny Lever plays Gaffur, Anil Kapoor's friend cum sidekick in Deewana Mastana. In an ensemble of ace comical actors, he gave a shining performance that has got etched in the memories of movie buffs. I know a friend who got pet-named Gaffur after this film.
Yet another mention for Johny Lever, this time for his role as a comical gangster and sidekick to Yeda Anna (Sunil Shetty) in Awara Pagal Deewana. His funny act gave him a nomination at the Star Screen Awards for Best Actor in a Comical role. He lost to Paresh Rawal who won for his role as Manilal in the same movie. Even the grumpiest of individual will roll out laughing watching this film.
Vishal Malhotra played an almost effortless role of Mambo, best friend of Shahid Kapoor in Ishq Vishk. Entrusted to provide comical relief, the actor excelled. And not just comedy, watch him in the pre-climax argument with Shahid, and you'll know why he made it to this list.
I dare leave the girls behind !!
Pushtie Shakti and Sreejita De play Jugs and Sonia in Luv Ka The End. Both are BFF to Shraddha Kapoor and together the 3 take it upon themselves to avenge Casanova hero – Taaha Shah. Both girls did exceedingly well to provide support to their best friend in this chick flick. I admittedly ignored the plentiful cliches and similarities to English film 'John Tucker Must Die' and 'Mean Girls' as this was Bollywood's first teen take on revenge against your sly boyfriend. In fact, I am going to go a step forward and recommend this film for all the young girls out there!
Paresh Rawal is one versatile actor who can glide into any character offered on the table. In Mr. and Mrs. Khiladi, he plays Pratap, the good for nothing brother-in-law to Kader Khan. His commentary in the tone of a news reader and ending every sentence with "Aagey dekhenge agle episode mein HUM LOG" was hilarious. Interestingly, the movie was a theatrical failure but did well on satellite channels.
As I wind up my list I would also mention actor Deepak Tijori who played best friend cum sidekick in Sadak, Khiladi and Aashiqui.
Note: 60's, 70's and 80's is not my generation so I regrettably left them out. Although I am pretty sure that that era had some great sidekicks as well. Legendary actor Mehmood rings a bell.

ITsavvy President and CEO Mike Theriault said, "When we see a need in the marketplace, we actively seek out and vet innovative solutions that will help our clients work more efficiently and productively. The 7SIGNAL product line offers an elegant solution to the constant challenge of monitoring and managing wireless networks. This further cements our strong position as a forward-thinking IT solution provider."
While there are many network performance solutions for wired networks available, there are no wireless performance management solutions on the market that provide Wi-Fi analytics and insights comparable to 7SIGNAL's offering.
The company provides innovative cloud-based Wi-Fi performance management software and systems that enable leading organizations to manage the Wi-Fi user experience on their networks.
7SIGNAL software collects Wi-Fi performance data from across the enterprise. Then its analytics engine presents the data as key performance indicators, giving network administrators immediate visibility into Wi-Fi network health and performance.
The result is significantly improved Wi-Fi baseline performance, reduced troubleshooting time and lower total cost of ownership for maintaining reliable, high performance wireless networks.
ITsavvy Vice President, Strategic Accounts David Turza said, "The majority of devices are connecting without wires and 7SIGNAL delivers a powerful tool that enables visibility into these invisible Wi-Fi connections. It is unparalleled in the industry for understanding the health and security of the wireless environment."
The 7SIGNAL system enables organizations to proactively identify wireless issues. Instead of investigating Wi-Fi performance problems with handheld tools, large enterprises, including hospitals and universities, can use 7SIGNAL to centrally manage their Wi-Fi performance.
7SIGNAL CEO Tom Barrett said, "We're very excited to be working in partnership with ITsavvy. ITsavvy brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and a holistic understanding of any organization's technology needs."

Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas launched a tirade against Israel on Tuesday, accusing the Jewish state of being responsible for the peace talks not progressing.
Speaking at the Arab League summit in Kuwait, Abbas also accused the Israeli government of trying to get out of releasing the fourth batch of terrorists that it agreed to release as a "gesture" to Abbas.
"The Israeli government is trying to dodge an agreement it had with the U.S. administration to release pre-Oslo Palestinian prisoners," Abbas said, according to the Ma'an news agency.
"The Israeli government took every chance to foil the American efforts. This proves what we say about the lack of seriousness and preparedness of the Israeli government to withdraw and create peace," he charged.
He went out to accuse Israel of trying to split the Temple Mount in such a way that will have Jews and Muslims worshiping separately.
"There is coordination with Jordan, which supports the Islamic endowments in Jerusalem, and Morocco which leads the Al-Quds (Jerusalem) committee in order not to let that happen," declared Abbas.
He also stated yet again that the PA was not willing to even consider the possibility of recognizing Israel as a Jewish state, as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has demanded.
"Israel has started to invent new conditions that it has never placed before, such as the recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, which is a matter that we refuse to even discuss," said Abbas.
The PA leader earlier received the backing of Arab leaders, as the summit stresses a "categorical rejection" of the demand for recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, according to a draft statement endorsed by foreign ministers.
So far, the Arab League has continued to back the stubbornness of Abbas, who has consistently said that unless all his preconditions are met, there will be no peace with Israel.
On Monday, a PA official stated that Abbas would agree to extend peace talks with Israel, but only if certain conditions are met.
These conditions, according to the official, are more terrorist releases and a freeze on construction in Judea and Samaria.

I wanted to make the easter baskets this year with the kids and start a tradition for future Easters. I had limited time and resources since this was very last minute so after futzin around on the net trying to find something I decided to just freestyle this one.
I have a surplus of empty water jugs for refilling. The perfect beginning.
I used an exacto knife to get the cut started but used scissors after that.
I pierced holes in both of the top strips using a potato and ice pick.
Then using an embroidery needle and yarn I stitched the two pieces together, creating a handle.
I hole punched both sides of the handle and all around the top of the basket.
When my hand got tired of squeezing the punchers, Derek finished. Yeah Derek!
I gave the boys strips of bright yarn and a quick tutorial and forgot to pick up my camera again until the next day.
The boys left their baskets out for EB to fill the next day. I think this will be a fun thing to add to our other traditions.
Like we color eggs easter day.
They each got to color 5 eggs.
All of our hens are brown layers so the only colors that really show are green and blue. We don't mind though, it's just as fun, but tastes better.
As soon as the kids finish coloring, I make egg salad sandwiches. It's usually the only time of year we have it, which makes it taste that much better.

Why are you still single? If you had a man you'll be much happier.
"You need a husband to take care of you."
Yes I know you're thinking people don't say things like that to you. Think again. I've heard all of these statements before and yes they irritate me everytime I hear them. To know that there are people who genuinely believe that in order to find happiness a relationship is needed is crazy to me.
As a 26 year old southern woman with no bf, children and no genuine desire for a relationship. I'm viewed as a lonely, sex deprived future cat woman in the making. Now majority of the statements above come from men. A few women have agreed but most times men are the ones who think I need a man to save me. I honestly think that they believe that their penises are magic and it will find you happiness, cure loneliness and end world hunger.
I hate to be a bearer of bad news but being in a relationship is not the key to happiness. If that was the case, then people wouldn't be running through gf's every six months. Me personally I'm okay with being single. Right now in life I'm not concerned with sharing my time and energy with someone else. I've been focusing my brain power on myself and my future. Yes, I know it's possible to focus on both you and a relationship but right now I'm not willing to do both.
Plus I'm busy. I work ten hour shifts and I have too much personal baggage to have to deal with someone else right now. I feel like I don't have time but honestly I don't feel like making time either. Relationships are work and I'm not ready to put any real work into someone else at the moment.
I see nothing wrong with women my age and older being single. There's nothing wrong with being by yourself, which is most people's problem right here. Scared to be by themselves, afraid to listen to their own thoughts and learn who they really are. I want to find my happiness, so that when it's time for a relationship that person will add to my joy and not be the only thing that brings it.
You ever hear someone speak about their marriage and they say,
things didn't get better when the baby came, they got worse. The baby couldn't fix our marriage.
That's how I view happiness or sadness before a relationship. Whatever you're feeling prior to being in a relationship may temporarily get fixed but in the end those original feelings will resurface.
I understand why some of the people in my life feel that at my age I should be closer to marriage or at least pregnant. It's all they know. A lot of southerners are taught that you need God, a spouse, a job and a few kids to have a decent life. Most people I know live that life I just mentioned, which is why I'm not too bothered by their statements.
More than likely I'll be single the remainder of the year and I'm okay with that. Being single is not bad at all. It doesn't have to be a lonely feeling and you don't have to be depressed by it. I'm sure not. I'm finding myself and honestly I need to be alone in order to hear God and not be distracted. Find your happiness first then jump into that relationship. Sure you'll like it better that way.
P.S. I do my post on my phone so English majors excuse the grammatical errors.

This participatory site will serve the 140,000 active-duty Navy and Coast Guard members, reservists, base employees and retirees in the Puget Sound area with database-driven, interactive guides to housing, schools, military discounts, and a social network for military spouses and children coping with deployment and family relocation. Project leader Elaine Helm Norton, new media editor at The Daily Herald in Everett, Wash., and a former military beat reporter, envisions a medium for military families in the region to connect with one another and also for journalists like me to connect with them. Nobody in journalism or the military has done much online to engage military families. Follow her progress here. Visit their website.

After lots of agonizing, I finally picked a logo. I received lots of great submissions from designers at crowdSPRING, but in the end I went with the idea that really conveyed what my site is all about: Navy families. Itâs friendly, welcoming and very Web 2.0.
Iâll be showing it off for the first time this weekend at the Kitsap Military Fall Festival. The event is organized by the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce and draws hundreds of military families, as well as local businesses and service groups. I look forward to talking to more people about my project and enlisting their help in refining and testing some of the siteâs features when theyâre ready.

Da Vinci Code
Da Vinci Code doesn't bring any new idea, all its theses are known since a long time, they are sometimes accepted by non-christian religions (judaism, islam). The Christ may have been married, there are even tombs attributed to him.
There are two sides of the religion: the Historic Truth and the Mythologie.They should be treated in a different way.
- The Historic Truth: We will probably never know exactly, how (if) things described in the New Testament has realy happened. It looks quite plausible that Evangiles are just works of art based on a set of real people and histories. There was probably someone crusified by Pilat, there were religious teachers with their followers, … Evangelists have just simplified the story, merged several stories together (the Jesus in the Last Supper may not have been the same one as the Jesus on the Cross), devided more complex personalities into several (is it just an accident that Jesus and Judas are very similar names ?),…
- The Mythologie: The christian mythologie has certainly not been created by Jesus, even not by Evanelists. It has been written by (St.) Constantine, (St.) Paul and their supporters. It could have been easily different. That mythology has already changed and split several times (creating several new christiaon religions). There is no reason why it couldn't change once again. And when woman has been accepted as equal to man on earth (at least in our part of world), she can more priviledged place also in heaven. Afterall, women played an important role already in the antic religions.

Who are RFD?
Founded in 1920, safety and survival experts RFD (Survitec) are the world's largest manufacturer of inflatable liferafts. To maintain their position as global leader in maritime survival equipment they place a strong emphasis on customer focus, product excellence and technical innovation, thereby sharing the same core values as 4c Design.
RFD is a major player in the commercial liferaft market but at the time this project began they had failed to realise similar success in the leisure market. 4c were briefed to re-design RFD's range of leisure liferaft cases with the objective of increasing RFD's share of the leisure liferaft market.
4c Design carried out extensive research in order to understand user requirements, the functional requirements of the liferaft product and the features of competing products. This detailed research enabled us refine the brief given to us by RFD and resulted in a case design that was far more aesthetically pleasing, as well as more durable, functional and economical to produce.
The unexpected outcome from this project was the extent of the cost reduction achieved by 4c's re-design. Initial estimates showed that the full project (including all design tooling costs) would pay for itself within the year. RFD put 4c's new design into full production immediately.
Cyril Stocker, Group Project Director, talks through the design process and the impact of 4c's liferaft re-design upon RFD (Survitec).

The Burial Hour
by Jeffery Deaver
Air Date/Time: March 16, 3pm (Central)
512, paperback
Forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme is back with his most harrowing case yet in this newest installment of Jeffrey Deaver's New York Times bestselling series.
A businessman snatched from an Upper East Side street in broad daylight. A miniature hangman's noose left at the scene. A nine-year-old girl, the only witness to the crime. With a crime scene this puzzling, forensic expertise of the highest order is absolutely essential. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are called in to investigate.
Soon the case takes a stranger turn: a recording surfaces of the victim being slowly hanged, his desperate gasps the backdrop to an eerie piece of music. The video is marked as the work of The Composer…
Despite their best efforts, the suspect gets away. So when a similar kidnapping occurs on a dusty road outside Naples, Italy, Rhyme and Sachs don't hesitate to rejoin the hunt.
But the search is now a complex case of international cooperation–and not all those involved may be who they seem. Sachs and Rhyme find themselves playing a dangerous game, with lives all across the globe hanging in the balance.
Jeffery Deaver is the #1 international bestselling author of more than thirty novels, three collections of short stories, and a nonfiction law book. His books are sold in 150 countries and translated into 25 languages. His first novel featuring Lincoln Rhyme, The Bone Collector, was made into a major motion picture starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie. He's received or been shortlisted for a number of awards around the world. A former journalist, folksinger, and attorney, he was born outside of Chicago and has a bachelor of journalism degree from the University of Missouri and a law degree from Fordham University.

I recently read a great blog by Leo Babauta titled 'Why I'm always in a hurry, and what I'm doing about it'
This resonated with me. I'm often in a hurry, not because I'm running late, but because I want to achieve more
In fairness to myself, I've been making a conscious effort over the last few years to slow down. This is largely thanks to yoga, which has taught me how to find stillness in the mind through practicing yoga on a regular basis
But there are some areas of my life, where I still tend to rush, because I want to get through more. One example is reading. There is so much out there I want to read - books, articles, blogs etc. Rather than accept I can't read them all, I often hurry my reading so I can get through as much as possible
This is ridiculous, because I sometimes miss key points when I read too fast, and instead of being pleasurable, the act of reading itself becomes onerous
Through what I do, both as a recruiter and a yoga teacher, I'm constantly talking with people about their lifestyles. It seems a lot of us are very similar. We're all trying to pack as much into our lives as we can
One of the dangers in trying to get through stuff fast, and achieve more and more, is that the detail suffers. On major tasks, most people are aware of this, and take the time to get the detail right. But on quicker, less important tasks (especially internet related), it's easy to rush through the detail
A common situation is that people press the 'send' button without checking through the email they've written. So attachments are forgotten, spelling is poor, words are missed out, dates and times are incorrect
Worse still is when detail is overlooked on more important things, like booking flights, and inserting incorrect passport details, or getting dates wrong. Or people order stuff online, but in their haste, they overlook the detail and not get what they want
Multi-tasking is something that sharply divides opinion. Some people are intensely proud of the fact they can do several things at the same time. Others, including myself, believe that to get things done properly, they need full, undivided attention
And this - surely - is the thing; by paying attention to what we're doing, we don't just get it right, but it makes the experience more enjoyable. Taking the time to complete even mundane tasks gives us the confidence that they're done properly
Taking the time to do things we want to do, irregardless what they are, makes the whole process so much more enjoyable. Why? Because we're in the zone. Smelling the roses (and any other cliché you want!). But they're true. Because we're 'being in the moment', and when we are there, we become more relaxed, we do it better, and we can appreciate more of what we enjoy doing
This is especially important when we're interacting with other people, especially those who we're close to. It's too easy to dismiss others due to lack of time, or interest. There are fewer annoying things when you're talking to someone, and they're fiddling with their phone. They pretend they are there, but they're not. Their attention is diverted. It's offensive and it's irritating. It's also potentially dangerous; for example parents texting as their children play
I remember a story attributed to Bill Clinton, that he had the ability, even as President of the US, to make whoever he was talking to feel like the only person in the room. He focused his attention purely on them, and in doing so, he made them feel very special.
It's a proven fact, that it's not what you say that people remember, it's how you make them feel
So whatever we're doing, maybe we should just ease up, and stop greedily cramming our lives full of stuff. Turn off the self-indulgence, and just let go of the need to have it all and do it all
In his blog, Leo talked about the practice of generosity. He described generosity as turning away from our self-centred view, and start turning towards other people. Or turning to each moment, giving it the gift of our focus
What a great idea - practice being more generous. To ourselves and to others. To learn how to pay full attention to whatever we're doing, to get more fun and satisfaction out of what we're doing, and just appreciate being in the moment

Tribal Sheer Bodysuit
Bodysuit: c/o Make Me Chic / Skirt: Milly / Pumps: Aminah Abdul Jillil budget under $40 version / Bag: Vintage Chanel / Belt: Old Similar / Earrings: Under $5 Sam Moon / Ring: Etsy / Lipstick: MAC Heroine
I live close to a ton of restaurants, lounges and bars. On any given day I can get this call from a friend… "Hey, I'm in your neighborhood, lets do something"… This means I have to be dressed to impress at a moment's notice. I've been known to turn brunch into a wine tasting which fades into a long dinner followed by a night out on the town.
So, having quick transitional pieces is a MUST!
As you can tell from here and here I'm a big fan of the easily pulled together onesie. This tribal sheer bodysuit from Make Me Chic takes that look to a whole other level. Its see-through fabric is just sexy enough. Then the strategically placed print and ability to blend with full coverage bras saves modesty.
Lady-like sexy is my night on the town uniform. I love how it makes me stand out among a crowd of scantily clad party goers.
What's your go-to look for those impromptu nights on the town?

Avian influenza Killing of 31,000 animals
Once again, in a Lower Saxony mute barn, the suspicion that animals have infected with avian influenza. In the operation with about 13,000 turkeys as well as 18,000 penguins in Friesoythe the poultry pester H5 was discovered, the district Cloppenburg announced on Sunday. The final test result of the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute is still outstanding. The killing of all the animals of the herd is already being prepared.
There is the suspicion that it is the high-infected H5N8 virus. A barrier zone with a radius of three kilometers would be set up for the operation. A so-called observation area is located within a radius of ten kilometers around the farm. In the restricted area there are 21 poultry farms with about 460,000 animals. For humans, the virus is considered harmless.
The company is located in an existing restricted area, the last was a plant in Friesoythe at the beginning of February. At that time, the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut had confirmed the suspicion in the district of Cloppenburg. It was in the case of a sickle detected in a turkeys around the high-infected virus H5N8. The 9,500 animals of the stock were killed. In the course of the current bird flu wave 16 H5N8 cases were counted in Lower Saxony stalls, especially in turkeys.

'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Recap and Review: "A Life Spent"
This week on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the team tries to come up with a plan to save Jemma and find out what Virgil knew. Spoilers ahead for "A Life Spent".
Jemma notices the closeness between Kasius and Sinara before she is given a special task when an Inhuman named Abby (Ciara Bravo) can't control her abilities on the eve of a ceremony. Abby has to display her abilities at the event or her family will be punished. Kasius is adamant that Jemma fixes the problem for her own well-being.
Jemma recognizes that a power suppressor is making it hard for the teenager to control her powers. Despite some trouble convincing the girl that she's strong, she is able to help Abby visualize her powers and gain a little bit of control. Abby is taken away before they can make too much progress. Kasius then recognizes that Sinara is jealous of Jemma and the compassion that makes her special in Kasius' eyes.
Elsewhere in The Lighthouse, the team is able to momentarily get away from Grill when he sends Tess out on a haul. Coulson and Mack are sent along with May who pilots the spacecraft. Before they're in the clear, Lt. Zev (Kaleti Williams), Grill's right-hand man, decides to tag along because he's suspicious of them. While Mack keeps Zev distracted, Coulson and Tess find a knob inside a small model of the earth that belonged to Virgil. Using the knob they open a panel on the ship's wall to reveal a radio. Zev catches them and prepares to take them in but May purposely runs into a piece of debris to knock him off his feet. Mack comes from behind and knocks Zev out.
Back on the base, Daisy and Deke are tense around each other as Deke is certain that Daisy destroyed the earth and doesn't want her to endanger lives on the base to save Jemma. When she tells him that her powers aren't that strong and it hasn't happened yet in her time, he presents the idea of a parallel universe. Later, Yo-Yo is able to get a scroll to Daisy when Grill replaces her metric which she caused to act up using her speed.
Using the scroll, Daisy gains entry into other areas of The Lighthouse. Deke tries to stop her, but she uses her powers to push him away. Elsewhere, another leader named Basha (Rya Kihlstedt) arrives for the ceremony. It turns out to be a death match where Abby must kill Basha's champion who's a huge dude with a Winter Soldier-style mask. After taking a beating, the Inhuman spots Jemma and finally uses her powers to solidify her body's molecules, breaking the champion's hand. Although she begs the man to stop, he keeps coming. She shifts her molecules and puts her hand through his chest, killing him.
Jemma is horrified when she learns that Abby will be sold to Basha. She tries to speak up but is silenced and congratulated for her assistance. Out in open space, Tess and team disagree on how to handle Zev. Tess suggests killing him. Soon they pick up a static-filled transmission. They think it's coming from the surface of what remains of earth. Before they can investigate further, Zev wakes up and cuts the fuel line, forcing them back to the base.
Tess tries to take the blame for their actions, but Yo-Yo mentions that Zev has a gun and that's why they knocked him out. Guns are illegal for humans on the base to carry and they didn't want Grill to face repercussions.
Grill searches Zev and finds the weapon and sends him away. While the other agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are out of trouble, for now, Daisy takes on two Kree guards before making her way to where she believes Jemma is. The hall is suddenly filled with smoke that weakens her. Kasius arrives with Deke, who ratted out Daisy and made a deal to sell her to Kasius. Daisy vows to kill him.
Later, Coulson and the other agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gather in secret with Tess before their next work shift. They barely pick up a transmission signal, but it's enough to make them think that there's really survivors on earth's surface. Tess disputes that saying that nobody could survive on the surface. It turns out that they send people there to die. The scene shifts to Zev, who's on the surface. There's lightning and low visibility before he's attacked by something.
Final thoughts and rating for Friday's episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I'm still getting a feel for this new setting and characters. It's early in the season, but I don't really like Deke. Sorry, Jeff Ward! I'm sure he's got a gameplan, but he's a little unlikeable. As for the other newbies, I'm hoping Sinara gets more lines in the future. Her intimidating presence is a great source of tension, but I want to know more about her character.
Tess' beliefs clashing with the team is well thought out writing. They have the same goal but living in a different time has molded Tess in ways that don't quite mesh with Coulson and the team. How they'll overcome that will be a continuing throughline for season five.
I love the special effects and the scene when Yo-Yo runs to give Daisy the scroll. I'm glad to see that they worked in a little speed last night. I'm also here for Daisy kicking butt. Chloe Bennet flipping around while taking on the Kree was nicely choreographed and a worthy addition to Marvel's collection of elevator throwdowns.
I'm giving "A Life Spent" an 8.5/10

This 8-Foot Sea Scorpion Is A Wonder Of Marine Biology
Giant scorpions are not just something out of mythology or fantasy, they actually lived on this planet and the biggest has been discovered. Say hello to Jaekelopterus rhenaniae.
This creature lived on earth about 390 million years ago, and is of the Arthropod family—the same family that includes spiders, scorpions and centipedes. What sets this sea scorpion apart from his brethren is that he grew to be larger than a full grown man. Scientist unearthed one of Jaekelopterus rhenaniae's claws and the claw itself measured 18 inches long, which makes scientists estimate it's size at over 8 feet long. That's about the size of a large crocodile.
The Diet of a Giant Sea Scorpion
Jaekelopterus rhenaniae terrorized coastal swamp waters feeding on fish, by ambushing them with its almost spring-loaded arms, then slicing them up with it's spiked claws that were capable of holding onto even the most slippery of fish. Jaekelopterus rhenaniae didn't just feed on fish, it was also a known cannibal. J. rhenaniae was the top predator of it's day and conquered it's swampy landscape with no challenge from any other animal. The sea scorpion's dominance of the food chain, might have even been the reason some fish of the era evolved bony shields to help them survive against attacks from the massive sea scorpion!
Massive Size Helped Lead to the Creature's Demise
Scientists have long known about our planet's sordid past filled with giant horrifying insects and arthropods, but according to paleobiologist Simon Braddy of the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom (a member of the team who discovered the fossilized claw in a German Quarry near the city of Prum,) it's the first time they've ever discovered one this gargantuan! The second biggest fossil of an arthropod found is that of a 6 foot long giant millipede. While J. rhenaniae sat frighteningly at the top of it's food chain, it wasn't a flawless design by mother nature at all. In fact, it's legs were so frail that they would snap on land without the aid of buoyancy in water against the creature's massive body weight.
How Did Jaekelopterus Rhenaniae Get So Big?
J. rhenaniae and it's family members were hypothesized by some in the scientific community to have reached such epic proportions simply because no other creature could challenge it. Fish hadn't developed jaws, and other vertebrates hadn't yet began to evolve ways to defend against these highly adapted sea scorpions and challenge them for food. Others in the scientific community believe that the increased levels of oxygen in the atmosphere could be what fueled the growth of these massive arthropods. These creatures were wiped out during the largest mass extinction of sea life in history about 250 million years ago and their closest relatives could not compete against the new breed of larger vertebrate predators. This forced various arthropods to shrink in size and eventually move to land! The largest arthropods on our planet today are lobsters and spider crabs which are only a fraction of the size of Jaekelopterus rhenaniae.

Dr Varadkar said consumer research amongst passengers and business customers showed that most did not want a rebranding. The name DAA excludes Cork Airport, which is also under the authority's control.
"The response to a proposed name change was firmly negative and considered to be unnecessary, unwarranted, a waste of money and potentially damaging to the reputations of the Dublin Airport Authority and Government," Dr Varadkar said.
"It was decided, therefore, not to engage in an expensive rebranding exercise and to use instead the existing acronym, DAA, in lower case."
The original cost of changing the name from Aer Rianta to the Dublin Airport Authority was €4m.
"The Dublin Airport Authority, DAA, was a misnomer from the day the new body was established," Mr Varadkar added.
"It was given this name because it was intended at the time to separate Shannon Airport and Cork Airport almost immediately and sell off Aer Rianta International, ARI, the retail element which consists of shops, duty-free operations and other activities in which ARI engages around the world."
On the future of Cork Airport, Dr Varadkar said the new legislation provided a mechanism for Cork Airport to become independent.
He added, however, that if Cork Airport secured its independence now, the airport "would immediately" be loss-making. Unlike Shannon Airport, Cork Airport's operating costs substantially exceed its revenues," he said.
"We need more people to visit Cork. Unfortunately, it is largely an outbound airport."
Cork is the second biggest airport in the State in terms of passenger numbers.

Emmanuel Macron has followed the old adage: Never waste a good crisis.
As relations with Italy go from bad to toxic, the French president has taken the unprecedented step of recalling his ambassador from Italy -- the kind of diplomatic spat that doesn't usually happen between big EU member states. It's calculated to embarrass Luigi Di Maio, Italy's deputy prime minister and leader of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement, who brazenly met with the yellow vest protesters on French soil.
But it's also a relatively risk-free way for Macron to assert himself on the international stage, a useful opportunity as he tries to regain the political initiative from the yellow vest movement ahead of the European Parliament elections this year. It doesn't hurt to invoke a bit of national pride when you're competing for attention with a populist movement. He's also bailed out of February's Munich Security Conference, amid signs of tension with Germany, as he focuses on home. Macron's chief concern is getting back to the project of fixing France's stuttering economy by tackling high spending, high taxes and red tape, a task that's been made more difficult by the domestic rioters.
His escalation looks justified given Di Maio's regular provocation of France's pro-EU president. After accusing France of colonial exploitation in Africa via local currencies pegged to the euro, and encouraging the yellow vest protesters to "keep going" after violent protests against Macron's policies, Di Maio last week met face to face with a faction of the group. It was ostensibly an effort to build a future political relationship in the European Parliament should the yellow vest movement become a party, but deliberately designed to rile Macron.
By responding with such diplomatic force, France has effectively put Italy on the spot for Di Maio's actions, according to Jean-Pierre Darnis, an adviser at the think tank Istituto Affari Internazionali. It's notable that Matteo Salvini -- head of Italy's right-wing League and Di Maio's partner in the populist coalition government -- was quick to offer dialogue to Paris. Salvini has had his own complaints about France before, notably around its hypocrisy on migration, but a way out of the crisis is possible.
France and Italy have very close business ties, with about 77 billion euros ($87 billion) in yearly trade between them. That should be be unaffected by the diplomatic spat, says Lorenzo Codogno, a former chief economist at the Italian Treasury.
In the meantime, Macron will try to use the incident to regain the domestic initiative at a time when public support for the yellow vest movement remains high, the French economy is slowing and Marine Le Pen's National Rally party is leading in the European election polls. Macron's administration suffered a serious hit to its credibility last year when violence on the streets forced a policy U-turn on tax hikes and an estimated 11 billion euros in extra budget giveaways. That put France on track to breach its EU deficit limits in 2019, another weak spot exploited by the Italians. The European Commission on Thursday cut this year's French GDP growth forecast from 1.6 percent to 1.3 percent.
With Macron slowly clawing his way back from rock-bottom approval ratings and using a "grand debate" on the economy to build support for his reform program, he's keen to neuter the political appeal of the yellow vests. More than two-thirds of French people want some kind of referendum on the debate's conclusions, according to a YouGov survey, an idea that Macron is flirting with.
The French president still thinks the country needs to take some tough economic medicine. But it's not certain whether he will succeed. His 2022 goal of virtually eliminating the French budget deficit looks increasingly difficult to deliver, according to Deutsche Bank economist Marc de Muizon. France's debt-to-GDP ratio is not far off 100 percent -- where Italy's was a decade ago -- and its deficit is expanding, not shrinking. Given all this, you can understand this little bout of political theater.

Cambodia's beaches are often neglected in favor of Thailand's. But slowly, surely, the country's idyllic islands and shining white sands are becoming known to the world's beach lovers.
There are 3 best beaches in Cambodia that really stand out, and match up to anything its more popular neighbors have to offer.
1. Southwestern Beach, Koh Rong
Koh Rong is easily one of the Gulf of Thailand's most gorgeous islands, with 43 kilometers of beach. On the southwestern side of Koh Rong the beach stretches for nearly five kilometers — 5,000 meters of untouched white sand fringed with palm trees and dazzling turquoise waters.
At the southernmost end of this beach are rocks where snorkelers can watch schools of colorful rabbitfish, sergeant fish and parrot fish.
Getting there: From Sihanoukville, catch a boat to Koh Rong with any of the guesthouses on the island. The trip takes between two to three hours.
2. Long Set Beach, Koh Rong
The southernmost cove of Koh Rong hosts a beach that the locals call Long Set, after the farmer who lives there growing coconuts, mangoes and cashews.
With nearly empty white sand beaches and placid aquamarine waters, Long Set Beach is just a short walk away from the accommodations on the main part of southeast Koh Rong and is an ideal place for sunning, collecting shells and crabbing.
On nights where the moon is waning, night swimming can reveal bio-luminescent plankton that cause a ethereal phosphorescence in the water.
Getting there: From Sihanoukville, the boat ride to Koh Rong takes two to three hours. The guesthouse closest to Longset Beach is Treehouse Bungalows
3. Lazy Beach, Koh Rong Saloem
All of the beaches on Koh Rong Saloem, an island two hours off the coast of Sihanoukville, will have you gaping in awe, but Lazy Beach is particularly beautiful.
Shaded by pine trees and benefiting from a daily sweep to keep it spotless, the golden sands of Lazy Beach make for excellent daytime sunning.
The waters around the beach have many snorkeling options and other parts of Koh Rong Saloem are a favorite of divers and fishing enthusiasts from the mainland. Evenings, you can watch the deep pink sunsets from the beach with a tropical cocktail in hand.
