Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/6/2012 (2748 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The volunteers who have been tracking a kitten killer for a year and a half-believe Luka Magnotta has been playing cat and mouse with them from the beginning.
It started on Dec. 21, 2010, when someone called Uonlywish500 uploaded a video to YouTube showing a young man suffocating two kittens in a plastic bag using a vacuum cleaner.
On Dec. 22, a group of animal lovers formed a Facebook group dedicated to finding the person they called Vacuum Kitten Killer.
They realized whoever posted the video was playing games with them from the start because the only other YouTube video that Uonlywish500 "liked" was the opening credit sequence of Catch Me If You Can, a 2002 film about a man who eludes police for years using assumed identities.
Within weeks, Vacuum Kitten Killer uploaded pictures and another video featuring the dead kittens.
The Facebook group looked through the pictures and video seeking clues to his identity, hoping to alert the authorities, in part because they were afraid he would kill a person.
In January 2011, they received an anonymous message identifying the kitten killer as Luka Magnotta, and saying, falsely, that he lived in West Hollywood.
They believe Magnotta — now being sought on a global warrant as the suspect in the slaying and mutilation of a Chinese college student in Montreal — tipped them off.
"It was him," said Baudi, a female member of the Facebook group.
"He wants the attention. We're doing exactly what he wants. It's been a cat-and-mouse game with him," said John, another group member. "He wants us to chase after him. So he leaves information, little clues, that lead us to him."
Three members of the group — none of whom are Canadian — agreed to an interview on Friday on condition their real identities not be revealed, because they are afraid of Magnotta.
After a lot of online searching, the volunteers discovered an Ontario legal document that showed he had changed his name from Eric Newman to Magnotta in 2006.
A core group of about a dozen volunteers — aided by hundreds of others — spent thousands of hours trying to find him, meticulously analyzing his sprawling Internet presence, going over pictures and videos for clues, while he toyed with them, leaving false trails, interacting with them using a wide variety of social-media sock puppets, hiding his IP address.
When they discovered how to decode date and location data from photos he posted, he learned from that, and started altering the codes before he posted photos.
By February of 2011, the volunteers tracked him to Toronto, and working with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, approached the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which approached Toronto police.
A detective in Division 55 of the Toronto Police Service took the information and worked the file hard, trying to find him in Toronto. But by that point, group members now believe, Magnotta had moved to Montreal.
In January 2012, they discovered a photo of him posing on a set of steps with a lamp post and greenery behind him.
"We analyzed the stuff like crazy," says Baudi. "We're looking at light posts, which are unique to a certain city. So we're like, let's look at Montreal, let's look at Toronto, let's look at Russia. So we just went to Google Maps and literally went street to street and started looking for street lights."
After many hours of searching, they determined he was in Montreal, then eventually figured out where the photo was taken, at the corner of Rue McTavish and Avenue du Docteur Penfield, on the McGill campus.
"We really honestly thought that if we gave police information on his location that he would be apprehended," says Baudi.
"We thought that if he wasn't apprehended he would move on to humans. We were very public about that. It's not like we were obsessed but we were determined to get him apprehended. Spending all night going down Google Streetview wasn't out of the question."
They never figured out his Montreal address, but a Montreal member of their wider group took what information they had to the Montreal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which took the case seriously, and to the Montreal Police Service, which said it could do nothing.
Another group member, Alex, contacted a psychiatric facility where Magnotta was previously a resident.
"It was all, 'We can't do anything because they won't be able to do that. And they won't be able to do anything because somebody else can't do that.' There was nothing they could do."
The group members, who are doing their best to help investigators in Montreal, are very upset their efforts were in vain.
"He's either the greatest genius in the world or the craziest person we've ever encountered, and there's a fine line between those two things," says John.
"As crazy as we think he is, he has been able to somehow evade the police for a while. We're seeing that evident right now."
"We don't want Luka harmed," says Baudi. "We want him to get help. He is severely sick, like severely sick. He's a sick ****."

SCOTTSDALE, AZ (PRWEB) October 10, 2016
Warren Barry has a long track record as a successful entrepreneur and as an innovative healthcare professional specializing in pain management. Now, his list of professional achievements also includes "winner of Kolbe Corp's Professional Award." His work as a business owner and an advanced myofascial release therapist led Warren to establish Instinctive Solutions, which is dedicated to helping organizations and individuals understand their instinctive "conative" strengths and operate from a position of confidence and energy.
Warren, a well-known business consultant with a career spanning more than 20 years in the healthcare industry, became a Kolbe Certified™ Consultant in 2010 and began integrating Kolbe Wisdom™ into his practice to explore the correlation between conative stress and chronic pain.
"I am very honored to receive this award and thrilled for the recognition of our organization's efforts to help our clients live happier pain-free lives," Warren said. "I hope this award will lead to greater recognition of the role that Kolbe solutions can play in helping more patients to reduce stress in their lives and to overcome many of the healthcare challenges they are facing."
Warren received the award at the Conation Nation Symposium in Scottsdale, AZ., on September 22.
"We are very excited to honor such a dynamic and creative leader. Warren is an innovative and caring healthcare professional whose insight and creativity help his clients leverage their instinctive strengths to reduce stress and manage chronic pain," said Kolbe Corp CEO David Kolbe. "The Conation Nation Symposium is an important part of our mission, and with the Professional Award we're able to recognize and celebrate the efforts of our partners around the world."
The Conation Nation Symposium is dedicated to cultivating understanding of conation and inspiring action. The event featured presentations from leaders in coaching, human resources, and personal relationships as well as keynote addresses by Lincoln Financial Group Chief Human Resources Officer Lisa Buckingham and leadership development expert Suzanne Peterson, Ph.D.
For most of the past century, researchers have focused on understanding and quantifying the cognitive and affective aspects of the mind while paying relatively little attention to the conative (or volitional) aspect. The conative part of the mind pertains to how an individual solves problems when given the freedom to act instinctively. Kolbe Corp has been the leader in research on conation for four decades.

About Kolbe Corp
For four decades, Phoenix-based Kolbe Corp has helped people identify their instinctive talents and use their innate abilities to succeed.

Canker Sores
At some point, many of us have suffered from canker sores, which should not be confused with cold sores or fever blisters. Cold sores are caused by the herpes virus and usually occur on or around the lips. Canker sores are small, painful, red bordered ulcers with a white or yellowish base. They occur inside the mouth generally on the more movable tissue; like under the tongue, cheeks, and inside the lips. While their exact cause is uncertain it is thought that fatigue, stress, and trauma seem to increase the likelihood of occurrence. Canker sores are not contagious and they usually heal on their own in 7 to 10 days. To promote healing of a canker sore you can:
-rinse with warm saltwater or an antimicrobial mouthrinse
-maintain good oral hygiene
-avoid hot or spicy foods
See your dentist for any further guidance or diagnosis.

Securing the Gates – Ken Malone
The Gates Must Be Secured!
While in Middletown OH, Chuck Pierce prophesied that we must go through and secure The Gates. When I heard him say this it resonated in my spirit that the church must secure The Gates from city to city and state to state. It must happen by the end of 2016. The Lord then began to download a strategy to me in order to help you and I secure these gates.
Gates Defined—In the Old Testament gates were entrances used to enter and exit the city. The gates had to be strong and large. Each gate had a specific purpose. Elders of a city ruled and made judgements in the gates of a city. So these gates became places of authority and today represents authority within a city.
Spiritual Gates—There are also spiritual gates within a region. In Genesis Jacob had a dream in which he saw angels ascending and descending from heaven to earth. The Lord spoke to him in this gate and when Jacob awoke he said, "This is none other than the house of God, and this is The Gate of heaven." Genesis 28:17
Possessing the Gates—From the time of Abraham the Lord has wanted his people to possess the gates. It's very important; because whoever possesses the gates controls the dynamics of a region. That control can bring in a move of God or it can shut down the heavens depending on who possesses the gates. If the church of a city possesses the spiritual gates, they can then usher in revival. The Lord left Abraham a prophetic promise about The Gates. And your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. Genesis 22:17 That promise extends to us as well. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:29 Upon this rock I will build my church (Ekklesia-governing body); and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18
Where are the gates in your region?—Look where the land was occupied in the beginning. Many of these gates are found where the Native tribes lived and worshipped. Also where the first settlers from Europe came in and lived are also gates within a region. Examples of these are St Augustine, Pensacola, Jamestown, etc. Also look where there have been previous moves of God because these are gates also. A few examples of this is, Cain Ridge KY, Red River Meeting House KY, Azusa Street CA, Topeka KS, Pensacola FL, etc. In 2003 the Lord had Cheryl and I travel U.S. Hwy 1 from Key West to the Georgia line to proclaim Leviticus 25:10. Proclaim Liberty throughout the land and unto all the inhabitants thereof. We called it the U.S. 1 Liberty Prayer Tour. U.S. 1 represents His highway of holiness in America and extends from Key West FL to Fort Kent Maine at the Canadian border. It is a gate in this nation.
Who possesses The Gates in your city?—The Ekklesia in most cities have never thought of possessing the gates. However the spirit in control of these gates rules in your city or region. In most cities a jezebel/political/religious spirit controls the gates within a region. Where this is the case you can usually see manipulation and control being exercised through the leadership within society and the church. Intimidation, slander, gossip, rejection of the apostolic and prophetic gifts, depression, discouragement, eunuchs, sexual immorality, disunity, drug abuse and suicide are some of the manifestations of this jezebel/political/religious spirit.
Toleration—Revelation 2:18-29—When Jesus addressed the evil spirit jezebel in the church of Thyatira he said, I have this against you that you tolerate the woman jezebel. This spirit was operating through a woman named jezebel. The Lord said this about her. She calls herself a prophetess, teaches and leads my bond servants astray, they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. She is unrepentant. The homosexual agenda is manifest through this evil spirit—jezebel. The operation of this spirit releases a false prophetic.
Tolerate is the greek word, eao. It means to leave alone or let alone. The church has left this spirit alone for the sake of peace. When Jehu arrived to take down jezebel, she asked him; "Is it peace Zimri?" She wanted him to make peace with her. Jehu said to the eunuchs, throw her down. Jehu was not going to tolerate this spirit operating in Israel any longer. Will you tolerate this evil demon in your region?
The time is now.—Let's take this strategy to The Gates of your city.
Strategy to Displace jezebel in The Gates of Your City.
Praise and Worship—Taking the worship team to the gates will open the heavens to the Lord. Enter into His gate with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him and bless His name. Psalm 100:4
Code Talk—Pray in Tongues In WWII the Japanese could never decode the language of the Navajo. These Navajo Marines became known as the code talkers. When you code talk, (pray in unknown tongues) the enemy is not able to decode your message to the Lord. 1 Corinthians 14:2 says that when a man prays in an unknown tongue he prays to God. Building yourself up on your most holy faith praying in the Holy Spirit. Jude 20
Prophesy in the Gates—Find the prophetic words the Lord has spoken over your region and decree those at The Gates. Ezekiel 37:4 Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Speak to your gates, speak to your city and say, hear the word of the Lord.
It is written—When Jesus defeated the enemy in the wilderness he said, "It is written," and then quoted the scripture.
Holy Communion—Take communion at The Gates, then serve the land communion. Since I've been releasing the word about serving the land communion many have asked, "How do we do that?" Simply pour the wine or grape juice representing his blood into the ground and serve it in the name of Jesus. Then take the unleavened bread, representing his body and mix it into the juice or wine you just poured out. Do this, as often as you do in remembrance of Jesus. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Important! When you go to these gates do not bring accusations against jezebel. Take a look at Jude 9, But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord Rebuke You.
Just recently a group of friends from Alabama, Florida and Georgia met where the three states connect and applied the above strategies at the gate where these states connect. They had to get permission from the landowner and walk for several hundred yards into the forest. Not only did they worship at these gates but they connected the three states in the spirit.

Although the racing is spectacular – and sounds amazing too – there's a lot more to the Classic TT than the on-track action. Fans flock to the grandstand paddock carnival to mingle, enjoy the entertainment, soak-up the friendly and laid back atmosphere, check out the concours d'elegance and browse the many trade stands.
With the slightly more sedate pace of the programme compared to June's flat-out and hectic TT, the Classic TT has proved a great hit with family visitors, as well as those who prefer to set their own tempo. It's also a big draw for restorers, owners and riders of classic and vintage machinery. It's definitely a motorcycling event that should be on any bike fan's bucket-list.
The VMCC Festival of 1000 Bikes has now become the largest classic track weekend in Europe featuring the greatest line-up of superstar riders.
Visit the website at Festival of 1000 Bikes for more information
Synonymous with 'The Taverners,' is Founders Day set in the scenic Stanford Hall grounds, it has become one of the major UK events in the 'old bike' calendar. From humble beginnings almost fifty years ago with just a hundred or so visitors and half a dozen people selling surplus bike bits out of their car boot or laid out on the obligatory 'paste table' the event has grown in to a vast slick and professional operation.
Originally the event took place on the area to the right of the driveway with a small 'arena' to the back of the hall, nowadays there is a large arena to the front of the hall along with an auto jumble nearing 300 pitches in number and taking up the whole area to the front of the hall. 'Happy' Hamrax is remembered as one of the first commercial paying companies to attend with money only changing hands if they'd had a good day - oh how things have changed!
The VMCC Training Day provides classic motor cycle enthusiasts with the chance to ride vintage hand-change machines including the VMCC's Reed Scott, Brough Superior SS80, and Triumph SD plus many other machines kindly brought along by VMCC members.

Why did the chicken cross the road
- font size decrease font size increase font size
So why did the chicken cross the road?
Peter Shaw came across some interesting answers to that question.......
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or against us. There is no middle ground here.
OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross the road so badly. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a NEW CAR so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.
GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.
DONALD TRUMP: We should build a wall so the chicken can't cross the road.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?
JOHN KEY: The chicken crossed the road to play a game of golf with Barak Obama.
QUEEN ELIZABETH 2: My husband and I believe the chicken crossed the road to make friends with a corgi.

Different Measures, Different Results
According to the CIA's World Factbook section on the United States, 99% of the population of our nation is literate (www.cia.gov). This factsheet defines literacy as the ability of men and women aged 15 and older to both read and write. On a global scale, this is a pretty high rate, with some countries, like Uganda, reporting literacy rates around 66%. However, there are different statistics that get more specific, and these statistics paint a less rosy picture than the CIA's literacy factsheet.
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), a division of the U.S. Department of Education, surveyed more than 18,500 adults over age 16 for English literacy skills in 2003. This survey, called the National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL), measured literacy skills in categories called 'prose,' 'document' and 'quantitative' literacy. The NAAL results were presented by state, and some states fared better than others. For example, 23% of respondents in California were lacking in basic prose literacy skills, while states like Minnesota and North Dakota had comparatively high basic prose literacy, with only six percent lacking in basic skills.
Literacy Beyond Reading and Writing
While basic literacy remains a somewhat regional problem, other types of illiteracy are compounded by a lack of basic reading and writing skills. Health literacy, which refers to a patient's ability to understand instructions given by healthcare professionals, is an issue in the U.S. as well. According to a 1997 study of Medicare patients conducted by the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL), more than half of these patients couldn't properly understand instructions about taking medicines on an empty stomach.
Illiteracy and Dropouts
One statistic that can arguably be the most representative issue of the U.S. education gap problem is the high school dropout rate. Though lower than in previous years, NCES reported that in 2009, the U.S. had a total dropout rate of 8.1%. Dropout rates were lowest among white and Asian/Pacific Islander citizens, at 5.2% and 3.4%, respectively. The highest dropout rate in 2009 was among Hispanic students, with 17.6% dropping out. The next highest rate was among American Indian students at 13.2%. Black students had a dropout rate of 9.3%.
Though the total dropout rate in 2009 was much lower than the 14.1% reported in 1980, the rate of under-educated adults attempting to join the workforce presents a significant educational barrier to economic security. Considering the fact that the U.S. economy is already struggling, the fact that there will be a shortage of seven million properly educated workers by 2012 will do nothing to help with prosperity or recovery. This figure, which was reported in a study from Columbia University, accompanies other troubling numbers, like a $192 billion total loss in potential wages from workers without a high school diploma. These numbers show that, in spite of the CIA's 99% literacy statistic, there are educational inadequacy problems in the U.S. that must be addressed.

ACES will be raffling off a Motorola XOOM tablet and a Wiley Miller Non Sequitur comic strip at the New Orleans conference.
Tickets will sell for $1.
The XOOM is an Android-based tablet with a Tegra2 DualCore processor, 10.1 HD screen and Gorilla glass (meaning no screen protector needed). Engadget described the XOOM as "clearly competitive (and frankly, more stacked) than most of its competition" for its formidable hardware, speed, camera, video and wireless options." The XOOM was donated by Motorola.
The Non Sequitur comic strip is Miller's wry look at the absurdities of everyday life and is syndicated in more than 700 newspapers. Miller donated his "Ancient Grammar police" to ACES for the raffle.
The winner will be drawn during Friday night's banquet. You must be present to win.
ACES wishes to thank both Motorola Mobility and Miller for their generosity.

SPRINGFIELD – Custody of defendants with mental health issues will become more streamlined due to legislation being signed into law.
"We need to make resources readily available to ensure the mental health of anyone determined to be unfit to stand trial are dealt with appropriately," State Senator Bill Cunningham said.
The legislation, House Bill 649, would create a formal process for the county sheriff and the Department of Human Services to handle custody of defendants found unfit to stand trial or not guilty by reason of insanity. It provides requirements regarding the evaluation and transportation of the defendant to a secure facility.
"This new law will only keep our communities safer in the long run," Cunningham said.
The measure was signed by the governor on Friday.

In the early 1960s, the seed was planted, for what would one day become Serenberry Vineyards, when Henry and Ethelyn Jernigan came to North Georgia. After hearing about the area's trout fishing, they purchased acreage in Morganton, Georgia, with a house and a barn that had been built in the 1920s. After selling the house to a couple of close friends, they converted the barn into what has been known as 'the Little House' ever since.
Fast forward two generations later, and the Little House is still in the family. Years ago, the original house was repurchased, and now overlooks a beautiful vineyard. The Little House was renovated, exposing its original roots as a barn, and was transformed into the Tasting Room in 2012.
We invite you to visit our grapevines, each with its own personality, and experience the simple and serene pleasures that the North Georgia Mountains have waiting for you. Give yourself a moment to pause and celebrate nature's down-to-earth gifts of life, people, and wine.
We are just a few country miles outside of Blue Ridge, and we look forward to welcoming you!

Jeremy Wade
Jeremy Wade is a biologist, extreme angler and writer specializing in travel and natural history. He is best known for using fishing as a means to look beneath the surface of human life in remote places, notably the Congo and the Amazon. Having grown up in rural Suffolk in the United Kingdom, he studied zoology at Bristol University and went on to teach biology at a grammar school in Kent.
Wade started fishing on the Suffolk Stour and went on to fish stillwaters for carp and catfish. At 16, he was the youngest member of the British Carp Study Group. In his early twenties, however, he hung up his rods, an antisocial response to overcrowded British lakes. Then in 1982, inspired by a magazine article about fishing for mahseer, he went to India.
Since then he has made expeditions to Southeast Asia, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo), the People's Republic of Congo (now Republic of ...), India (again) and the Amazon. During these journeys he caught malaria, was arrested for spying, narrowly escaped drowning and survived a plane crash. In between, he has worked as a tour leader, motorcycle dispatch rider, supply teacher, art tutor, translator (Portuguese-English), public relations consultant, dishwasher and newspaper reporter. For a while he was senior copywriter at an advertising agency until the excitement became too much.

The last week of camp is flying by.
We've had Braveheart Night, a camp favorite. At lunch, one of our counselors announced that it was "Wells Fargo" Night, a night that we've done in the past but isn't one of the nights most looked forward to. The campers, who are usually so excited for all the evening activities, were pretty apathetic towards this. After dinner, we were instructed to go to the lodge for a meeting. Our Assistant Camp Director, Andrew Brooks (who is generally an easy-going guy) tricked everyone into believing that he was furious that campers were continuing to break dishes on accident during meals. We all headed to the Dining Hall, thinking we were going to have to spend the night sweeping the floors and cleaning. When we got there, the projection screen was pulled down and all of the chairs were surrounding it. We took our seats, and proceeded to watch an epic short film introducing the actual night, featuring most of the staff members (courtesy of our camp videographer, Andrew Schundler).
Braveheart is a game where shirts tucked into our shorts are our life-lines, and if they get pulled out, we "die". There are two teams, like in the movie Braveheart, Scotland and England. We played a few rounds against our respective enemies, and then, at the end, joined in a circle and had "call-outs". This gives us an opportunity to battle someone one on one, or take on our entire cabin, etc. (Yes, Braveheart is indeed so amazing that I had to dedicate two large paragraphs to it.)
Over the past few days, everyone has been working on their "hearts". These are heart-shaped cards handed to all the campers, giving everyone an opportunity to write to the friends they were the closest to over the session. It's a camp tradition.
We went to the beach yesterday, and though the weather was pretty foggy and rainy, we all had a great time playing card-games and soccer. Some brave souls even got in the water and went surfing. Many worked on writing their hearts.
It's pretty much go, go, go until the end now. Tonight we're going roller-skating, then to Freeport, then a banquet, then a camp fire, and so on. Everyone is excited for the fun to come, but it is also clear that we are all bummed the session is ending.

A stunning bilingual poetry collection from one of Ireland's most provocative poets
His greatest gift to the Irish-language poem is his stance as outsider.
— Liam Ó Muirthile
Rosenstock is so famously difficult to pin down, that one is slow to try to describe him at all. Indeed, this foxy elusiveness may be his defining feature.
—Poetry International
I stíl, i ndearcadh, i gcur chuige tá sé neamhchosúil le héinne eile atá ag saothrú na teanga faoi láthair.
—Cathal Ó Searcaigh
Gabriel Rosenstock's poetry is unique in the aesthetic resolution it achieves between the political and the metaphysical, the regional and the universal, the identification with the victims of injustice, neglect and exploitation and the celebration of Nature's endless mystery: there are very few poets writing today who can equal him in his range of concerns, themes and forms as well as the simplicity he achieves in the poetic expression of his integrated vision that is a mark of a rare meditative maturity.
—K. Satchidanandan
He is a shape-changer. He is both everywhere and nowhere.
—Liam Carson
His poems are fearless, expansive, delirious, hilarious, but always astonishing.
—Bill Wolak
Tá taithí le fada againn ar shaothar Ghabriel Rosenstock, an file a thug an India agus an
t-oirthear agus an haiku agus foirmeacha aduaine eile isteach sa Ghaeilge. Is maith is eol dúinn a chúram don mhionrud, don mhóimint, don léargas gealghonta aonair. Bíodh nach toise nua ar fad atá á oscailt sa chnuasach seo aige—faightear an aigne chéanna, an cúram fairsing céanna—aithneofar géire bhreise san insint amhail is dá mbeadh sé sásta dul go poiblí ar shlí nár dhein go hiomlán cheana. Baile beag gránna abhac-aigneach is ea Gleann na nGabhar/ Glengower a thugann teideal don leabhar, agus ní miste a rá gur dócha gurb é Éire é ina lánleamhas. Is é is measa faoi ná go bhfuil an fhírinne aige ann arís is arís.
—Alan Titley
Gabriel Rosenstock defies gravitational laws, leaping out of the confines of the Irish language through the vigour of his writing and its total disregard for the limitations of time and space. He employs the poetic resources of all ages and languages to describe the central dramas of the soul with beauty, humour and precision.
—Gwyneth Lewis

Recently, I took Holden on a two day college road trip. He brought along one of his buddies. I brought Aubry.
We stayed overnight in a wonderful small town. I was tired from getting up at 3:30 in the morning and driving in the rainy pitch-black morning for four hours. Holden and Sinc were hungry and wanted to take the car to get some dinner. Holden had two days more days until the three-month driving moratorium expired. Legally, he couldn't take anyone in the car with him under the age of twenty-one. Mark and I were holding to the law.
It was a safe town, so I told the boys to walk. They seemed antsy – even though they had walked most of the day. I sent them with what I thought would be enough money for their food and Aubry's and mine.
They were gone longer than I thought they should be. I called Holden. They were close and I could hear the laughter. "Mom, wait until you see my hair! I've got to tell you what happened!"
Uh, oh. Goofy sixteen year-olds. Good, but their "teen-ness" sometimes wore on people.
They arrived not five minutes later, with cold food and new haircuts.
I know the boys didn't have money for haircuts – it hadn't been part of the plan.
I didn't get the chance to ask.
"We got free haircuts! Both of us." Holden announced.
I could see that.
"How did you guys manage that?"
They proceeded to tell me how they rapped for their haircuts. Their idea. They ran out of money at the Taco Bell and asked the manager if he would consider giving them some more food if they could do some good free-style rap for him. He agreed.
As they walked by the local Great Clips, they challenged each other to try for haircuts. The bored stylists cut their hair because they did such a great job.
The haircuts were decent. I was impressed with their ingenuity and drive.

In Scottish mythology, a brownie is a mythical fairy who would enter your home and clean it. They don't like to be seen and only work at night.
Few people enjoy cleaning but all of us want to work and live in a clean environment. Back in the day, superstitious people would leave small gifts for the brownies in hopes they would wake up to a clean home.
Commercial cleaning services are the modern day fairies. The difference is there is nothing mythological about these businesses. However, there are plenty of questions you'll want to ask and you'll want to keep an eye out for red flags.
Keep reading to learn how to find the commercial cleaning services for your business.
1. What are Your Rates?
Don't just ask for the rates, ask for information as to why they charge the rate. What kind of service are you going to be getting?
Do they offer packages? How many employees will be cleaning your office at a time and how long will it take?
You want to know how much you're being charged but you also want to know why. If company A offers you an "Everything" kind of package, then you'll need a good reason to go with company B, who only offers half the service at the same price.
Ask for a detailed list of services offered and ask for a discount on anything on the list that does not apply to you.
2. Do You Perform Background Checks?
The problem with commercial cleaning services is the turnover is usually high. As mentioned previously, not many people enjoy cleaning.
Unfortunately, some businesses allow shady characters to slip through the cracks because they can get away with paying them substandard wages. Illegal immigrants or felons may have a hard time finding employment. This is the kind of job they may go after.
If this makes you uncomfortable, make sure to ask about background checks. For the ultra-paranoid, you may want to consider installing security cameras in your office.
Many businesses have computers and paper documents that contain sensitive information. If the cleaning service is coming in after hours, make sure computers are password protected and sensitive documents are locked away.
3. Are You Insured?
In the event something is lost or stolen, you want to make sure your financially covered. However, the most realistic scenario is the cleaners may cause damage to your business or property.
Hiring uninsured commercial cleaning services may save you some cash, but if the worst case scenario happens, you'll be losing much more. Make sure to verify this coverage with any insurance company they claim to work with.
4. Do You Bring Your Own Supplies?
Do you like to unnecessarily spend hundreds of dollars every year? No? Is this because unnecessary costs are one of the many reasons businesses don't make it?
Many commercial cleaning businesses advertise cheap service. Then you find out after hiring them that you need to provide your own supplies. This is great for the cleaning business, not so great for you.
If you're going to buy all of the supplies, you might as well hire a cleaning person to keep on staff. If you choose to go this route, start with the carpets. You can find a great write-up at Bissell Big Green Commercial about how to properly clean your carpets.
The one exception is if you or a staff member are allergic or sensitive to a particular chemical, your cleaning service will likely require you to keep your desired products on site. This way, it will be used by their service and only for your building.
5. Do You Provide a Contract?
Don't want to get stuck with services you aren't paying for? Get all of your questions answered before hiring and make sure it is put into writing.
This will keep disagreements from happening in the future. Make sure you sign off on the contract and so does a member of management from the commercial cleaning services business.
6. How Long Have You Been in Business?
While the owner of a brand new cleaning business might be more energetic and eager for clients, they may not be the best choice, depending on your needs.
However, this can also be a great opportunity for you to help the community by hiring a new business. You may get a discounted service in exchange for word of mouth referrals and a testimonial.
When conducting interviews, trust your gut and if the new business seems like the type of company you would enjoy doing business with, don't be scared to pull the trigger just because they're new.
7. Tell Me About Your Employees
What's Your Employee Turnover?
Stay away from commercial cleaning services who've been around for years but all of their employees have been on staff for less than a year. This is a sign something is horribly wrong on the inside.
What Kind of Training do Your Employees Receive?
If the commercial cleaning services just hand someone a broom and tell them to get to work, this is a huge red flag.
Cleaning, believe it or not, is a science and an artform. To do it well and in a timely fashion is something few people are capable of doing.
Look for a business who cares enough about its workers to give them proper training, either in-house or through courses and classes.
Is There any Form of Quality Control?
Do they have someone managing employees or do they wait for a complaint? You'll want a business who actively manages its workers to make sure things are done right the first time.
This isn't just about how good of a job the cleaner is doing. This is also a way for the employee to get better at their job and allows managers to nip bad habits in the bud before they become a problem.
Final Thoughts on Commercial Cleaning Services
After these questions, your choice should come down to your instincts and the credentials of all the companies you spoke with.
The right business will keep your office clean and sanitary. The wrong one could result in wasted expenses, property damage, and even theft.
Talk to other local business owners to compile a list of the best commercial cleaning services around and go from there.

"Tooth whitening" is a broad term, and it's sometimes hard to know what's the right tooth whitener for you. Wondering what your options are?
You'll get the most dramatic results if you see your dentist for instant whitening. Dentists apply a powerful bleaching agent to your teeth for a short period of time. (In laser teeth whitening, the dentist uses laser light to activate the bleaching agent.) The appointment typically takes about an hour and can lighten teeth by a number of shades. For deep-down tooth stains, multiple sessions may be required to achieve maximum brightness.
Your dentist can also give you a kit that allows you to bleach your teeth in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Your dentist will take molds of your teeth to create customized dental trays; made of thin plastic, the trays slide over your teeth and provide a tight seal. Each day (or night), you'll put a small amount of bleaching paste or gel in the trays, then slide them over your teeth. Most people wear the trays for about half an hour a day for two weeks.
If you're skipping the dentist and buying tooth whiteners at the store without a prescription, you're not getting the same type of whitening offered by cosmetic dentists. These products will do the job, but they will never be as effective as what you'll get from a dentist. By law, over-the-counter tooth whitening products cannot use as strong of bleaching agents as those used by licensed dentists.
These commercial products come in a number of forms. Whitening toothpaste has been around for a long time, and whitening strips have become increasingly popular. They may provide a bleaching gel that you paint on your teeth or apply via one-size-fits-all bleaching trays.
In considering your teeth bleaching options, you should ask yourself how much money you're willing to spend and how many shades whiter you want your teeth to be. Your dentist can also help you decide what's the right method for you.
How would you feel if your smile was a bit brighter than it is right now? Whiter teeth not only look sensational, they build the kind of inner confidence that really gives a smile its electricity. And you might be surprised what simple, affordable teeth whitening systems are available these days.
You may have seen TV advertising for toothpastes that whiten your teeth. The results can't match what a dentist can do for you. Professional tooth whitening products used by your dentist effectively lighten brown and yellow enamel discoloration caused by smoking, cola, coffee or tea, and sometimes by childhood antibiotics use. A special gel is placed inside a custom-made tray that covers your teeth. The process takes place under a dentist's supervision to insure that it's safe for your teeth and gums.
The best candidates for professional teeth whitening are people with otherwise healthy teeth, minimal enamel loss, and stains that are on the surface of their teeth (from coffee, for instance) rather than inside.
Typically, improvement is seen in the first few days but maximum results occur when the process is continued for 10 to 14 days. Some patients may choose to return for periodic touch-ups to maintain their pretty smile.
If the color of your teeth concerns you, professional teeth bleaching may be the answer. Call your dentist and schedule a personal consultation.

Ensure you have the "SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features" feature activated in your site collection features for the site collection.
After this you will need to re-publish, checking the "Enable this form to be filled out by using a browser" checkbox.
I hope you have already followed the below steps :When you are creating a Infopath form make sure you tick the Enable browser enabled features only at the time when you are creating a new infopath form. Make sure that your form is browser enabled (Tools -> Form Options -> Compatibility) in InfoPath. The "Design a form that can be opened in the browser" is checked and selected. After designing your form publish it in your Sharepoint Forms Library.
After that follow this step:
- Go to the Form Library to which you published the InfoPath form template.
- Click Settings on the Form Library menu bar and choose Form Library Settings from the drop-down menu.
- On the Customize <Form Library Name> page under the General Settings category, click Advanced settings .
- On the Form Library Advanced Settings: <Form Library Name> page under the Browser-enabled Documents category, choose Display as a Web page .
To enable this setting:
- Open SharePoint Central Administration .
- Click the Application Management tab.
- On the Application Management page under the InfoPath Forms Services category, click Configure InfoPath Forms Services .
- On the Configure InfoPath Forms Services page under the User Browser-enabled Form Templates category, check Render form templates that are browser-enabled by users .

Hi Charles,
I had a similar error to you when I was setting up a workflow in a site with restricted permissions. Does this sound like your example?
If the people updating your tasks do not have contribute permissions at the site level then you might have to go and set permissions explicitly on the workflow files (particularly the .xsn files).
They are not visible via the browser interface, but you can find them via All files in SharePoint Designer, Workflows folder, select, and choose permissions, this ensures that your Task approvers can access the xsn files (Read access should be sufficient).
My error was to develop this workflow in a secure site and try and allow people in to update the tasks and Documents library. A better model would have been to create the workflow, tasks and document library in a separate site, that way the permissions errors would not occur.
Hope this helps!
(If it does help you, can you mark this as an answer so others find it? )

I recently had this issue - appears to be caused by a corrupted InfoPath form (i did not edit the infopath form from the default).
I opened sharepoint designer and deleted the default form - when you publish if there is no form a new one gets crated for you. The new form appears to work ok.
sharepoint desinger > workflow > Forms pane > delete the .xsn for your workflow > publish > new InfoPath .xsn is created > test
For future users :)
I used to be an adventurer too, until I took an arrow to the knee.

The Surprising Way Yoga Helped Me Heal
A few years back I heard a well-known teacher say to her students, "Yoga doesn't give you super powers." I remember furrowing my brow as she spoke these words. I disagreed then, and today. In fact, I am convinced that all of my super powers have come from yoga.
Last week, I drove to the city to teach a class. On my drive back to the country, my throat started to hurt and my body began to ache. I came home and crawled under the covers.
I woke up with a fever that night, aching all over and dripping in sweat. I remember surrendering completely and being washed in tears, allowing the sound of my crying and the wetness of my tears and saliva to flow freely, like a child does, until I felt complete, and at ease. I rolled back over and returned to sleep.
The next morning confirmed it: I had a fever over 100 and I could not swallow. I slept in and canceled my morning class.
Nothing a couple of days in bed couldn't cure, right? Well, there was only one problem with that plan. In six hours, 16 beautiful souls were scheduled to arrive for a four-day intensive training as part of a nine-month-long yoga teacher training.
So I got up and drew a bath. I took a long soak and then sat to meditate. I relaxed my body and called upon the wisdom that lives beyond, yet in, and through, my physical form. I tapped into my nervous system and I gathered resources, stored in quiet corners of my body and directed them toward my throat, my thymus gland, and my lymph system. I unlocked the gateways I've learned to open and released, without name, waste and useless energy from by body. I expanded myself to what lies above and beyond my "body" as I know it and allowed grace to enter me.
I got up, feeling no better but no worse, and got dressed.
I had work to do.
A new housekeeper had to be trained, the caterer was en route, and my assistant had a list of last-minute tasks. I made a mental list of what was not critical to start the training, and I let everything but the essential tasks go.
I moved about my day, doing what had to be done while simultaneously guiding my body to, and through, the detailed process of healing. As my assistant greeted arriving students, I retreated to my private quarters. Instead of a group dinner, I sipped miso soup in my room.
I opened the evening session, relaxed, at ease, and peaceful. I had a sore throat. I was tired. I had a fever. But I was not sick. My body was healing.
I told my students that I would be titrating energy and splitting my attention between being present with them and the process of healing. But to my delight, I found I was able to be completely present, even while my body healed.
When certain parts of the body and mind aren't available to show up, other parts—the best parts—rise to the surface.
Here is where the super powers kick in.
I drank miso and tea for two days, consuming no solid food while expending immense amounts of physical, mental, and emotional energies. I taught a full curriculum and felt strong and capable—despite having a sore throat that progressed into a hefty head cold. By Saturday evening, I had lost my voice, but my spirit was strong. I was able to fully realize that my body is an instrument through which life force flows. And I was able to titrate that energy, keeping most for healing but still sending potent bits outward to my students.
How did I do this? Two words: super powers. I'd heard about these powers from my teacher 20 years ago, but I didn't have access to them. Slowly I learned how to make manifest the promise of yoga in my body, my mind, and my life.
You, too, have these powers: the power within you to realize that you are not your body. You can be alert, present, and peaceful AND be in a body that is actively fighting illness and infection.
Yoga teaches us to harness our energies.
Yoga teaches us that we are not, in actuality, the anamaya kosha (physical or modified food body) and that we can call upon the pranamaya kosha (energy body) that permeates our being and rides upon the breath. We can also call upon the manamaya kosha (mental and emotional energies) to nourish us and inspire us or the vijnanamaya kosha (the high and wise body, our quiet intelligence) to guide us into action and titration of energy in times of need.
Best and most of all, we can recognize that the anandamaya kosha is the part of us made up of the cosmic energy that animates all of creation. It is that energy, that power, we can cultivate, harvest, direct, and draw upon and through an ailing, healing, amazing body.
So, keep practicing your yoga. Keep meditating. Keep doing your pranayamah and looking for the ways in which your whole presence can be at ease on this planet. Keep breathing, studying yourself, and following freedom wherever you go. It's that flow you find and follow on the mat that will lead to your inner flow and freedom off the mat.
Do these things, and the super powers of yoga will be yours.

The new IBM test automation solution is designed to help address the challenges of testing highly integrated and complex systems. Whether legacy or modern architectures (IBM, TIBCO, Software AG, SAP, Oracle, or other integration environments), Rational delivers the following function:
This rich set of capabilities significantly reduces the cost of provisioning and maintaining test environments and shortens test cycle times by moving integration testing earlier in the development life cycle. The result - faster product and service delivery with improved quality and reduced risk.
- Simplifies the creation of virtualized test environments that can be easily deployed, shared, and updated as the underlying systems and data change.
- Provides comprehensive integration testing in a code-free solution that is easy to learn and enhances tester productivity.

Scottish government criticizes UK immgiration policy
Humza Yousaf, who is the Scottish government's external affairs minister, has criticized the new restrictive immigration policies of United Kingdom, stating that they are hampering the economic development of Scotland. According to him the Scottish society as a whole is opposed to the immigration policies in England. He says that immigration is the only policy issue that unites the business leaders in Scotland together with the trade unions and the politicians, because all of them are feeling the negative consequences of the restrictive policies.
Mr Yousaf himself is a children of immigrants, his mother is from Kenya and his father is from Pakistan. His opinion is that the new policy is designed in such a way that is attractive to voters in England, but it is deterring many skilled immigrants, who are vital to the Scottish economy, to enter the country.
Currently Scotland is part of the United Kingdom. In 1999 then Prime Minister Tony Blair gave some exclusive powers to the Scottish Parliament but issues such as immigration are still decided by Westminster. n January 2010, the then leader of the UK's Opposition Conservative Party, David Cameron, promised to cut UK immigration to below 100,000 per year by 2015 if he became prime minister at the 2010 general election. He made this promise at a time when the issue of immigration was of great concern to the public, according to opinion polls, and when the net annual immigration figure (the difference between the number of people immigrating and the number leaving the country) was about 260,000.
According to some statistical estimates more than 2 million immigrants have settled in UK between 2000 and 2010. The conservative government led by David Cameron has managed to reduce the net immigration to nearly 150 000 people per year. The immigrants are not settling evenly throughout UK. The vast amount of them goes to London and South England. Scotland has managed to attract fewer numbers of foreigners.

'Alien: Covenant' Prologue 'The Crossing' Released
20th Century Fox has released "The Crossing" – a prologue to the upcoming movie "Alien: Covenant."
I really think this movie is going to suck big time.
From YouTube:
The Crossing, an official prologue short to Alien: Covenant, reveals what happened to crew members Dr. Elizabeth Shaw and the synthetic David after the events of Prometheus. Set aboard an abandoned Engineer vessel, Dr. Shaw repairs David as they continue their search for humanity's creators.
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with ALIEN: COVENANT, a new chapter in his groundbreaking ALIEN franchise. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.
