Tony Blair was today still hoping to win a UN mandate for war against Iraq with an amendment to the draft second resolution giving weapons inspections more time, according to Security Council diplomats.
There was no indication whether such an amendment would be acceptable to the US, which has 230,000 troops in the Gulf preparing for military action
And the compromise move by British diplomats may not be enough to bring round the French, Russians and Germans.
As anti-war protests gathered momentum around the world, they announced yesterday that they would not let a second resolution pass if it authorised the use of force.
* Meanwhile, UN-based Iraqi diplomats have been ordered to leave the country and Washington asked 60 countries to expel 300 alleged Iraqi agents who, US officials said, may be poised to attack American interests overseas.

Meet Expert St. Louis Dog Trainer
Jimmy Feeney – Owner/Head Trainer
Jimmy Feeney is a professional dog behavior trainer and specialist, and also a lifelong dog lover and owner. He has owned both rescue dogs and purebred dogs, ranging from Golden Retrievers, Dalmatians, Weimaraners, mixed breeds, and many more. Jimmy has volunteered with animal rescue groups in the past and is currently helping at Needy Paws Rescue here in the St. Louis area.
Before Jimmy embarked on his professional dog trainer career at Show Me Dog Training, he was a letter carrier for the US Postal Service, which allowed him to meet many different dogs with all kinds of behaviors. He also worked in the corporate world, specifically working in IT with training and supporting end-users & clients. After much hard work and thought, Jimmy decided to pursue his dream as a dog trainer.
After contacting John Van Olden of Canine Trade Group, Jimmy took the intensive dog trainer certification course, which made him the accomplished canine behavior specialist that he is today. Since then, Jimmy has helped dogs with mild issues, and also those with the most severe behavioral problems, such as aggression and anxiety. Jimmy will never turn a dog down, and his training success rate has been beyond remarkable.
When Jimmy is not training dogs or volunteering with animal rescue, he loves spending time with his 3 teenagers, participating in a variety of sports and especially enjoys watching the Cardinals, Blues and Rams. He also contributes a lot of time to his local community and parish. He has one dog Mylie, a Weimaraner, but looks to one day replace his old companion of 16 yrs Dice with another Dalmatian.
If you're looking for superior dog training in the St. Louis area, call Jimmy and he'll set you and your dog up on the path to success! Not only will Jimmy train your dog, but he will work with you so that you are a confident leader, that brings your dog to behavioral balance and rewarding progress! Jimmy is a commitment-based trainer which means he will stick by your side until all the training goals are fully achieved! When you work with Jimmy of Show Me Dog Training, failure is essentially an impossibility!

There were high wind warnings, so I stayed 2 nights in Enid, OK. On Sunday I drove through Kansas and Oklahoma, it was windy, but I could still drive through it. On Monday morning the wind was so strong that I had to hold onto the door of the coach when I went outside. The only place I went on Monday was to get gas and groceries, and to buy a DustBuster to clean the coach.
Tueday morning I left the RV park just a few minutes after 7am. I wanted to get an early start because the weather channel was saying 30% chance of thunderstorms. Luckily, I only drove through a few minutes of light rain. Along the highway I passed through Kingfisher, OK - the birthplace of Sam Walton, founder of Walmart and Sam's Club. The town has a new Walmart Supercenter with a statue of Sam Walton in front.
The early start gave me time to stop at the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center in Duncan, Oklahoma. This museum had a lot of interactive exhibits and an art gallery. At one of the exhibits you had to answer questions about a cattle drive to see if you could get the cattle to the train on time and without losing too many. I'm happy to report that I did pretty good. You could also make your own brand, with some big stamps they had, but they only had 4 symbols to choose from. I'm sure some of these things are geared more for kids, but I enjoyed walking around and participating in the exhibits and relearning about some things. They had two theatres, one had moving and talking life size figures and the other was a movie with wind, rain and dust blowing onto us, very real. I really enjoyed this center and was glad I stopped.
How's this for a travel trailer?
We should all be grateful for our modern RV's.
Some art from the Gallery
I should have written down the artists names to give them credit.
Around 12:30, I crossed the Red River into Texas, the river was all dried up and was just red dirt. I still have a long way to go in Texas. I will meet up with Diane & Karl and Karl's family in San Antonio on Thursday and on Friday we will drive to South Padre Island. Then I will have 5 days of no driving, just relaxing on the beach.
The RV Park I picked for tonite has a RV mechanic on site. I needed someone to take a look at my steps to the coach. They would not retract and I had to drive with them out today. I did not like driving like that, but I had no other choice. They did not have the parts to repair it, but they were able to retract the steps and disconnect them so that they would stay under the coach. I will check with LazyDays and the warranty company and get it fixed on the way home. I had mentioned to LazyDays that they were making noise before I left Florida, I thought they fixed them.
This RV Park is very nice - lakes, cattle, horses and beautiful scenery in North Texas Hill Country. I will have pictures and more info about this park tomorrow. I walked around the park while it was still sunny and came back and took a short nap and started on this blog. I then decided to go sit outside by the lake at dusk, I couldn't get any decent evening pictures. I couldn't figure out how to turn the flash off and all of the pictures were coming out very dark. I listened to a bird singing, not sure what type. And listened to the bullfrog singing and I could hear the cattle bellowing, but they were on the other side of the lake and I couldn't see them. This would be a nice park to stay for longer than one day, and you can fish in their lakes without a fishing license.
Does she look like she is adjusting?

For those looking to live on the water, with fabulous views from every window, then a new listing in Dutchess County for just under $3 million might fulfill that wish.
Located in Hyde Park, just north of the Vanderbilt Mansion and minutes away from the train station, the property sits on exclusive Bolles Island, on the eastern shore of the Hudson River.
The 3.4-acre property features a full 270-degree view of the river and the Catskills Mountain Range, in addition to being only 8-feet from the river itself.
The land the fortress-like home sits on was the original fishing ground and encampment site of the Shagaback Indians, who inhabited the sheltered cove in pre-colonial times.
The three-bedroom house with an asking price of $2,995,000, features a walk-out ground floor with 10-foot high ceilings to protect the main living areas from storms.
The living and dining room offer floor to ceiling views and a 900-square-foot great room opens the skies with 40-foot vaulted ceilings and six skylights.
There's plenty more to see, including a large kitchen and an upstairs living area, but the real draw to the home is water, light, skies, and the mountains.

We start this page with the key message:
The use of a helmet, wrist, elbow and knee protection is strongly recommended!
Abrasions. Our Flying Nurses ► have seen dozens of them. Maybe not too serious, but the nurses always notice that the injured usually didn't wear protection. Nobody plans to crash or fall. Yet it happens. A crack in the road, a streetcar rail sticking out, someone bumping in to you...
Every year we see little accidents happen at the FNS. Statistics show that after abrasions wrist injuries are most commonly seen during the FNS.
Helmets, wrist- elbow- and knee protectors can prevent a lot of injuries. Particularly a helmet is an important safety-feature. A drop on the head can lead to severe and lasting injury, even death! Be wise and wear a good skate helmet. The volunteers (blockers and nurses) of the FNS set a good example.
And no, we cannot stress this enough:
The use of a helmet, wrist, elbow and knee protection is strongly recommended!

Home > Executive Search Information Portal > Vietnam
AESC member search consultants in Vietnam specialize in executive recruiting across a diverse group of industrial sectors, with a particular focus on senior management and roles as head of country for international corporations. The Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC) has 5 member firms operating in Vietnam which employ a total of 10 senior executive recruiters, also know as headhunters.
Executive Employment Opportunities in Vietnam
In terms of managerial talent, Vietnam is much like China was 10 years ago in that much of the population is not trained or comfortable with Western management concepts. Many talented, younger Vietnamese are still too young to have the experience to manage, and English skills are in short supply.
Still, it can be difficult for executive job seekers from outside Vietnam as well. In particular, 30 - 55 year old managers are very difficult to find, and this can be a barrier to companies investing in Vietnam. Asian companies, who are often a better cultural fit for excellent Vietnamese candidates, make the talent pool even smaller, while the Westerner is often in a difficult position because of the language barrier.
Those interested in senior executive positions in Vietnam will note that the South is often recognized as the more entrepreneurial and pioneering as there is still a significant difference between the North and South in Vietnam, which limits mobility between the two regions.
Vietnam as an Emerging Market for Executive Search
The Asia/Pacific region is the area predicted to see the most growth according to the AESC Q2 2011 Industry Outlook Report. This signifies a rapidly growing opportunity for senior executives to pursue employment in this region.
Firms active in this region:
Senior Executives - Gain Online Exposure to AESC Executive Search Consultants
BlueSteps is the exclusive service of the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants, putting senior executives on the radar of over 8,000 executive search professionals in over 75 countries. Join BlueSteps to be considered for more than 90,000 executive job opportunities handled by AESC search firms every year. Find out more.

The 4th edition of AI4KM (Artificial Intelligence for Knowledge Management) will take place @IJCAI 2016 http://ijcai-16.org
Accepted workshops: http://ijcai-16.org/index.php/welcome/view/accepted_workshops
Scope and Objectives
Knowledge management is a large multidisciplinary field having its roots in Management and Artificial Intelligence. AI brought the way of thinking, knowledge modelling, knowledge processing, problem solving and decision support techniques.
Knowledge is one of intangible capitals that influence the performance of organizations and their capacity to innovate. Since the beginning of the KM movement in the early nineties, companies and non-profit organizations have been experimenting various approaches, often without using AI. On the contrary, the new generation of KM applications are implementing multi agent systems, hybrid simulations, meta-heuristic quantifiers, fuzzy logics, Bayesian networks, meta heuristic algorithms, unsupervised learning, case based or model based scheduling, cognitive modelling, graphical models, automated reasoning and solutions under uncertainty.
The objective of this multidisciplinary session is to gather both researchers and practitioners to discuss methodological, technical and organizational aspects of AI used for knowledge management and to share the feedback on KM applications using AI. Knowledge management models used in Business Intelligence, expert systems as management advisors, virtual training for knowledge sharing, all applications of machine learning to support innovation and eco-innovation, knowledge visualization for improving the creativity and human-machine interfaces, image mining making links between data and images ex bio-detection are good examples of multidisciplinary applications.
Researches and practitioners are invited to submit their recent advances in methodologies, models and tools for managing knowledge in organizations and to discuss experiences in knowledge management and innovation. Let it be the development of non-convex, nonlinear problem solutions or a painting game played to find out gaps in global security used for knowledge management.
The conference topics include (but are not limited to):
conceptual modelling, reasoning methods, knowledge capitalization, knowledge discovery in data and multimedia documents, effective information and knowledge search, decision support systems, problem solving, optimisation of human capital and other resources, managing of best practice, risk management, simulation, learning systems including serious games, human-machine interfaces, Knowledge in social networks, distributed knowledge, Knowledge Management for design, creativity enhancing systems, support of innovation and eco-innovation process innovation and eco-innovation process, intelligent assistant of knowledge cultivators. The applications to innovation and eco-activities, AI applications supporting sustainable development are very welcome.

[Windows] The other day I spotted this cool app at Snapfiles and I just had to try it out. I'm always looking for good free educational software.
According to the authors:
EasyWords is a free software that helps you memorize words very easily while learning a new language. The program asks you several questions while you spend your time by your pc, and teaches you the right answer if your answer is incorrect.
The software isn't a big download and should work in XP, Vista and 7. However, it does require .NET Framework 3.5 to run. The installation is simple and does not require any personal information. Once it's installed and it runs the first time, you will be asked to set the language that you wish to use (as shown below).
Next you'll be prompted to either choose a dictionary or create one.
I decided to use one of the dictionaries that comes with it by clicking the Browsebutton.
I chose to try one of the German dictionaries to see how well I would do during the testing. After I selected a dictionary, I had to confirm the settings by saving them. At this point you should note that you can make EasyWords run when you start Windows each time. If you are serious about learning, you might want to consider letting it do that.
In the settings, I had chosen to have EasyWords ask me a multiple-choice question every three minutes. Just below is an example of a question that popped up.
When you get a wrong answer, it will show you the correct answer highlighted in green.
After several questions, I was able to open the EasyWords main screen to see how well I had been doing. I don't know German, and you can see that I didn't do very well.
Even though I didn't do so great, I'm sure that if I had this running every day, I'd definitely be picking up German pretty easily. After all, isn't that why it's called EasyWords?
Later, I decided to create my own dictionary, just for fun. Here's what the dictionary creation interface looks like:
Do you know the answer to this next question?
Here's a hint for you. Which language did I chose to add to the new dictionary?
Would you like to try EasyWords?
Download: http://www.easywords.eu
If you are interested in learning, take a look at some of our tutorials and how-to articles.
Techie Buzz Verdict:
I love EasyWords. It's easy to use and it's simple to adapt for other types of testing. I have a feeling that I'll be getting plenty of use out of it. The only thing about it that I wasn't pleased with, was the fact that it requires .NET Framework. Even after considering that, I will still give this educational app a well deserved thumbs up.
Techie Buzz Rating: 4/5 (Excellent)

If you are thinking about purchasing a product, perhaps an electronic device or equipment, think long and hard about where you decide to purchase the product. There are few hard and fast rules that you should employ before you decide to take the plunge and purchase the product.
1.) Always consider the return policy- Never purchase a product from a store that only offers a two week return policy. You need at least one month to work out any kinks and to determine if the product is truly what you want or what you thought you wanted. A store must offer at least one month return policy and the assurance that you can return it undamaged with a receipt. If you don't have that assurance, don't purchase the product.
Many stores will allow you to purchase the product and give you a warranty, where they will actually send the product off for repair. That's fine, if you are okay with the hassle involved, and the time that you will spend away from your new toy. If you are like me, if there is a defect, I simply want to exchange the product for a new one, a different brand or I want my money back on the spot. If a store cannot make that promise, then don't patronize or do business with them.
As a general rule small mom and pop stores cannot afford to take back merchandise that you purchased two weeks ago. They can only send off your product to a contractor that they have as a referral and you are responsible for paying the charges that your warranty, if your purchased one, will not cover. Why put up with the hassle?
Solution- You can purchase high quality merchandise from Sam's Club or BJ's and you are able to return it in a reasonable amount of time with out hassle, certainly within 90 days. Large chains like Walmart and Target have offerred generous return policies and you should not fear returning them if you are not completely satisfied.
Whenever you purchase a product, make sure you keep the box it came in, with out the box, you are out of luck in trying to return it; even if you have a receipt. Just because you have the money to pay for a product, don't squander you money needlessly by letting a company pass the service fulfillment onto you.

On February 16, 1918, the 20 representatives of the Council of Lithuania signed The Act of Reinstating Independence of Lithuania in Vilnius. The 100 years up until today has been a bumpy road for our country – back then, Lithuania was under the German rule, the capital then had to be moved to Kaunas as Vilnius was occupied by the Polish army. In the wake of WW2, Vilnius became the capital again but Lithuania was occupied by the Soviets. The occupation lasted for almost 50 years; the independent State was re-established on March 11, 1990, which led to the January events of 1991 (more here). In 2004, independent Lithuania joined the EU and NATO.
This blog entry, however, isn't meant to be a detailed historic article. The Centennial of the restored Lithuania is something to celebrate, and we've decided to show you how we'll do it. You're of course welcome to join!
Interestingly enough, the Independence Act was… lost. On March 29, 2017, the original document was found at the Diplomatic archive in Berlin, Germany. Its founder, Professor Liudas Mažylis, instantly became a national hero, as the physical document added a lot of emotional value to the upcoming Centennial.
'This won't be the humblest of statements, but one of my motives to look for the act was the fear that we Lithuanians might end up celebrating the 100th anniversary just like we would celebrate the 99th – in a meaningless, governmental way. <…> I keep on telling people that the disappearance of that document created a certain wound – or even a large pit – within our identity that we needed to treat. We lost the act, we don't have it anymore, so maybe it's our own fault? It isn't. This was World War II! When the document was back, a wave of joy burst out of that pit like a volcano. I say joy as I didn't really experience any other public reactions to it. You asked what would've happened if the act wasn't here now – I believe we'd still feel that uneasy absence of something important', Prof. Liudas Mažylis explained to the Kaunas Full of Culture magazine in January 2018. Mažylis is to be awarded of VMU Honorary Professorship of the Humanities and Honorary Citizen of Kaunas on February 15. The original of the Independence Act can be seen at the House of Signatories in Vilnius, as it was lent to Lithuania by Germany.
Let's see what events are planned for the Centennial in Kaunas. It's kaunastic that the calendar is packed with all sorts of governmental and private ideas and initiatives!
For some time now, Lithuania's public broadcaster LRT has been inviting everyone in the country to raise the national tricolour for the Centennial celebrations. We do hope as every city, town and village will turn yellow, green and red even before February 16, as the shops selling the flags are putting up the 'sold out' signs, one by one!
A concert by the orchestra of the Baltic academies will be held at the Kaunas State Philharmonic on 6pm, February 14. Led by conductors Kristjan Järvi (Estonia), Guntis Kuzma (Latvia) and Modestas Barkauskas (Lithuania), the orchestra will present both the best compositions of Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian composers and other known masterpieces of the world. All of the Baltic countries are celebrating their Centennials this year, so the concert is a very welcomed initiative.
The official celebrations in Kaunas will begin the day before, on February 15, by visiting the graves of signatories of the independence act, seeing the renewed monument "Pieta" at the old cemetery of Aleksotas, the reconstructed monument "Garbė žuvusiems dėl Tėvynės" ["In the honour of those who died for their homeland"] and the 76 granite crucifixes for Lithuanian soldiers in the military cemetery at Žemieji Šančiai. Thursday evening will witness a grand concert in Žalgiris arena.
Onn February 15-16, Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) will celebrate the Centennial with a special event. The University has invited more than 15 artists, who will provide their contemporary interpretation of various events in Lithuanian history. More than 20 art objects were created, which will invite you for the journey through the last 100 years of our State's history. The interactive exhibition at the previous building of the Mechanical Engineering and Design Faculty (Kęstučio Street 27) will allow to look for less known historical facts, to experience various periods in Lithuanian history, and to relive the stories of people who lived then. Paulius Markevičius, Barbora Šulniūtė, Kamilė Stanevičiūtė, Marius Pažereckas, Pijus Čeikauskas, Matas Drukteinis, Julija Šatkauskaitė are among the artists who will introduce their works in the event.
The Kaunas light festival will be back for the long weekend and will have 18 buildings of significant importance to the centennial celebrations lit up at the centre and Old Town of Kaunas, including structures like the historic president's palace, central post, medicine faculty, officers' club, National M. K. Čiurlionis Museum of Art and several buildings on V. Putvinskio street. The festival will run through Sunday.
The premiere of the opera "Radvila Perkūnas" ["Radvila the Thunder"] will take place at the Kaunas State Musical Theatre on both February 15 and 16. The first premiere of the opera by one of the most popular Interwar composers Jurgis Karnavičius took place at the Kaunas State Theatre 80 years ago, in 1937, with the libretto written by none other than Balys Sruoga. The piece told a love story within the context of the events that were disastrous for Lithuania in the 16th and 17th century. This new edition is dedicated to the Centennial.
On February 16, we'll celebrate the centennial so loud that the whole Kaunas, Lithuania and the world will hear. The entire day of February 16th will have bells tolling, the Act of Independence will be read aloud, songs of Danielius Dolskis will be sung, dancing will take place, the funicular will have poetry being read, an orientation game will be organised, honorary guards will change next to the officer's building, cabaret will take over the area around the Kaunas State Musical Theatre, while the presidential garden will become an ice sculpture park. But what will the people be up to when it gets dark? Read on!
While celebrating February the 16th, most of the museums in Kaunas, including Vytautas the Great War Museum, the branches of Kaunas City Museum, M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art, the Maironis Lithuanian Literature Museum, Sugihara House, T. Ivanauskas Museum of Zoology and Lithuanian Education History Museum, will keep their doors as widely open as possible. Many of them offer free entrance on the day, too. It's an initiative that deserves a round of applause as February 16 is a bank holiday in Lithuania and, until recently, most of the museums and galleries used to be closed on this day.
Austėja Staniunaitytė has arranged musical pieces of Lithuanian composers as well as some folk songs for a special carillon concert (read more about the Kaunas carillon here) in the garden of Vytautas the Great War Museum. The event scheduled for 11:30AM will also include compositions by Galina Savinienė and Balys Dvarionas.
The Historical Presidential Palace will be open from midday to midnight – everyone in love with Lithuania or anyone celebrating the centennial is welcome. Visitors will learn a lot of interesting information about the heroes of the first decades of independence; they will be able to understanding the political, economic, social and cultural contexts of our young and promising country a hundred years back. Obviously, the exhibition "100 most significant events of the First Republic of Lithuania (1918-1940)" is a must, but you have to register beforehand for this one.
"By celebrating the country's centennial, we want every resident of Kaunas and every visitor to find a personal connection to this city, maybe a personal ritual, story or an emotion. We're not celebrating a date, we're respecting the success story of a hundred years – and we all wrote that story," note the organisers of the 20th choir festival of pupils and invite people to keep creating Lithuania. The festival will take place at St Michael the Archangel Church also known as Soboras starting 1:30pm.
The Centennial programme by the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra stands out for its innovativeness, contemporariness and national spirit. The concert at the Kaunas State Philharmonic (scheduled for 5pm) will feature Balys Dvarionas' Concert for violin and orchestra, Motiejus Bazaras' Piece for a rhythm section, symphony orchestra and electronic music performer.
To sum it all up, the Centennial is not only a date but a success story. We're now celebrating the entire century and the many more to come. February 16 is just the beginning of the celebration; a lot of events are scheduled to take place later this year (here is our detailed blog post about the event calendar in Kaunas for 2018). We hope to meet you in all of them, not only in Kaunas and Lithuania but all around the world (Los Angeles, for example…).

Factors to Consider Before Conducting Auto Glass Repairs
The use of the light weight material for windshields has made auto glass repairs quite popular. Most auto glass chips and cracks can be quite a big problem if not attended to immediately. The factors that you need to consider before conducting auto glass repairs are briefly highlighted below.
Any glass chip is something worth looking into because it has the probability of spreading and this can become a big distraction to the driver. With a windshield that is in good condition, it becomes easy to deploy airbags during an accident helping uphold structural integrity during a roll over. repairing the glass helps you avoid further damage since a glass with a chip is weaker compared to one without a chip.
When repairing auto glass, the training of the technicians is something that you should consider. Windshields are quite delicate and there are some auto glass repairs that requires replacing the whole glass instead of doing little repairs on a chip or scratch on the windshield and this is something that may require specialized skills. Choosing a reputable company with technicians who have been trained well is therefore quite important when it comes to the auto glass repairs of your car.
When conspiring auto glass repairs for your car, it is important to carefully choose the auto glass company that have been licensed. With the right company you are sure that you will get warranties which are important when it comes to repairs. When you get a good reputable company you are able to get warranties and this is important since it helps you to pass the safety baseline standards required by law.
Another important consideration when it comes to auto glass repairs is time it will take to do the repairs. It is important to consider how long it will take you to the repair shop as well as the availability of the required auto glass repair technicians. Downtime of your car is something else that you should consider since it may cost you money should the car not be in use for a significant time, if you are not able to use the car as soon as you would like and this is information that you should take into consideration when thinking about auto glass repairs.
Risks to the vehicle are another consideration when you have auto glass repairs since some repairs that need special laser light can pose risks to your car. Considering what type of risks your car will be exposed to is important and it is therefore important to talk to technicians to know what kind of risks that your car may be exposed to. Knowing such risks is important since you are able to mitigate or even avoid car risks associated with auto glass repairs.

One cricket song of note that doesn't appear in A Tingling Catch is Tim Finn and the Record Partnership's 'Runs in the Family'.
Cast your minds back to 1995 and the 100th anniversary of the New Zealand Cricket Council. A one-day tournament was played featuring
, Australia , New Zealand and India . Given South Africa 's run of losses at the time, it was termed 'the birthday bash from hell'. Penned especially for the anniversary and tournament and maybe to give the Black Caps a boost, Tim Finn's song climbed to No. 9 on the New Zealand single's chart. Finn appeared on the Holmes show to promote the single's release, and all looked bright. New Zealand
Cast your minds back to 1995 and the 100th anniversary of the New Zealand Cricket Council. A one-day tournament was played featuring
Blair Mulholland, however, later included Tim's song in his "Worst NZ Songs of All Time" on nzmusic.com in 2004. Here's the link: http://www.nzmusic.com/node/9029 Blair notes that Finn's 'appalling NZ Cricket anthem Runs in the Family … can be number six. It sank even lower than the fortunes of the team in 1995, which was no mean feat really.' On the second page of comments on Blair's post, one comment by SuperElmo defended the track: 'Runs In The Family is ok. I remember the video for it.' I can't remember the video now myself, but if it had some cricket highlights in it, it was probably okay.
After all the dire predictions and Tim's efforts, how did the
team fare in the tournament? The Black Caps surprisingly made the final after beating India and South Africa, largely due to the batting of Mark Greatbatch who had recently returned to the squad, skipper Ken Rutherford and a young Stephen Fleming. Martin Crowe played just one game before picking up an injury. Justin Vaughan, the current CEO of NZ Cricket, was also in the squad. Danny Morrison, Chris Cairns, Chris Pringle, Shane Thomson, Gavin Larsen and Vaughan were the bowling attack. New Zealand
In the final Shane Warne took 2-21 and Tim May, his spin partner, took 3-19 to reduce the Black Caps to 137-9 at
. Eden Park Rutherford made 46 and without 's 20 not out, the total could've been lower. Vaughan aptain Mark Taylor, Mark Waugh and David Boon knocked off the runs for Australia in the 32nd over. C
Back to Tim Finn's song, which is worth including on the "Tingling Catch" archive. I made a transcript of it. I admit I'm a fan of some of Finn's music, particulary the Finn Brother's album, Everyone is Here (2004), and some Split Enz tracks like 'Dirty Creature', 'I See Red' and 'Poor Boy' as well as Tim's solo songs like 'Persuasion' co-written with English musician Richard Thompson. Tim's songs for the most part are worth commenting on. The opening stanza of 'Runs in the Family' for instance features beach cricket, a Kiwi tradition at holiday baches during summer time:
Runs in the Family
I remember long ago playing
cricket by the sea
My father's love of grace and skill
still runs in the family
Leather ball and willow bat
the scene of generation's come
Pay your dues and show respect:
runs in the family
I like Tim's idea here of a generational tradition in
, passed down through families, and that's how some of our best cricketers have been taught. In these opening lines Tim acknowledges his father Richard. Around that time, Joseph Romanos wrote a book called Great New Zealand Cricket Families (1992). In the book Joseph discusses among others: the Hadlee family, the New Zealand family, the Crowe family and the Bracewell family - to which you could now add the McCullum family. Cairns
Tim's chorus that follows the opening verse is simple enough, a repeated refrain of 'Runs in the family', sung about four times. Overall, I guess it has that anthemic quality, and I can see how SuperElmo thought it was okay to some extent. The single's not bad in places.
The bit that jarred for me was the attempt to mix in some hip-hop and ragamuffin. Here's that rap lyric part from the guest performer:
100 years run in the family
watch me now, don't play Mr Hadlee
Rutherford, Greatbatch, Morrison, Crowe
Coney, Wright, Patel and Jones
broad to the bat is the stylee
wickets and cricket and feeling irie
googly, bouncer, yorker and leg-break
to Eden Park Kingston, Jamaica
What's odd here is that some of the players named were not in the
team playing the centenary tournament. Except for 'Greatbatch, Morrison, Crowe', the others were no longer in the Black Caps. And the New Zealand West Indies weren't at the tournament either, making you wonder why they chose a ragamuffin part for the song. I'm not sure when the song was written in 1994, maybe they thought the Windies were coming and some of these players were still playing, but when it was released, it was those little bits that tended to lessen the impact of the song. Were they using the names of greats like 'Hadlee', 'Coney' and 'Wright' to sell the song? Or were they there to give us a sense of the history of the game. If so, why not Sutcliffe and Reid? The only interesting thing in the rap part was throwing in the word 'Aotearoa!' at the end.
I guess that's why I left it out of A Tingling Catch, though I do like Tim's opening stanza and the beach cricket idea acknowledging his father very much.

New Bedford's Working Waterfront Festival and National Park Sponsor Monthly Dock-U-Mentaries
Interviews collected through NOAA's "Voices from the Fisheries" project will be featured this week as part of the New Bedford Working Waterfront Festival's Dock-U-Mentaries series. Dock-U-Mentaries are films about the working waterfront shown on the third Friday of each month. The series is part of the Festival's Portholes Project, intended to engage local residents and members of commercial fishing communities in conversations about critical issues facing the working waterfront.
The next film in the Dock-U-Mentaries series, In Altro Mare, explores Gloucester's Italian-American community and its ties to the Sicilian town of Terrasini. The film will be shown May 17 at 7:00 p.m. in the theater at the Corson Maritime Learning Center, 33 William Street, in downtown New Bedford. All programs are free and open to the public.
A discussion about the historical and present role of immigrants on the New Bedford Waterfront will follow the screening. Oral history interviews with immigrant women who work in seafood processing jobs on the waterfront will be featured. The interviews were conducted as part of NOAA's Voices from the Fisheries Project. Podcasts can be heard at http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/voicesfromthefisheries/immigrant_women.html
Dock-U-Mentaries is a co-production of New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park and the Working Waterfront Festival. To learn more, visit the Working Waterfront Festival web site at: http://www.workingwaterfrontfestival.org/portholes-project/

One of the first steps towards addressing challenges such as anxiety, low self esteem and depression is finding a counsellor that you are comfortable working with. I am an experienced non-judgemental counsellor who works with adults and young people from age 12 upwards in a discrete environment in convenient locations in Epsom and Coulsdon - daytime or evenings.
If you are currently at a time in your life where you are facing issues and difficulties past and present, which you are finding overwhelming and distressing, counselling can help to identify repeated behaviour patterns which may be restricting you and preventing you from reaching your full potential.
My aim as a counsellor is to be part of this journey, by helping clients both adults and young people from age 12 upwards to find a way through their challenges. My approach is to be non- judgemental, professional, supportive, caring and empathetic in order to work with whatever you deem is important. This is done in a confidential space.
I offer afternoon and evening sessions either face to face or remotely to anywhere in the UK on Skype.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" - By Lao-tzu
Who am I?
Fully qualified with a BSc Degree in Integrative Counselling.
I currently work in private practice with adults and young people and also as a College counsellor.
In addition I have a good knowledge of child protection issues and of internet offending. I provide a one to one counselling service to support non offending family and friends of people affected by internet offending.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I practice with a range of theoretical approaches including Psychodynamic, Existential and Person Centred according to your needs.
I have worked in private practice, the NHS (both hospitals and GP Surgeries), teenage counselling projects and School counselling. This has provided me with the experience of working with both adults and teenagers to explore a range of presenting issues including working with suicidal feelings, child abuse and depression.
I am insured and a member of BACP and work in accordance with their Ethical framework.
I have undertaken additional training for the Protection and Safeguarding of children.
Additional experience and training in young people's counselling and counselling for friends and family of people affected by internet offending:
Young People:
I have a special interest in counselling young people.
Just like adults, as we know, young people have emotional needs as they are also affected by the challenges of life and therefore need the relevant support, to help them on their way and tackle issues which may be restricting their development.
In the current environment children and young people are under increasing pressure to perform and achieve to a very high standard. I have noticed that there are many young people, particularly in the performing arts, who struggle with perfectionism. I work extensively in this area. My goal is to help them to reach a more balanced and healthy way of being, so that they can achieve their potential and ultimately be happier.
I work with various resources and tools in order to assist the expression of their thoughts and feelings, but most of all I aim to work with empathy and care.
Internet Offending:
I provide empathetic non judgemental counselling for non offending family and friends of people affected by internet offending. I draw from professional experience and knowledge in this area and appreciate the challenges involved.
How to arrange counselling:
If you would like to explore this further the first step is to book an initial appointment which will give you an opportunity to discuss the issues you would like to focus on, and ascertain if counselling would be appropriate for you.
Therapy is available on a short or long term basis. The sessions are typically arranged on a weekly basis at the same time and location.
Counselling fees:
£45 per for a 50 minute session and £40 for young people.
I practice from therapy rooms in three areas: Coulsdon, Croydon/Purley and Epsom, with both daytime and evening appointments.
I also provide remote counselling via Skype to anywhere in the UK.

DJ GarGar's unconventional San Diego band samples

Phillip Bensimon: Bass guitar, Vocals | Rian Greene: Guitar (acoustic), Guitar (electric), Vocals | Keith Haman: Guitar (acoustic), Guitar (electric), Vocals | Clint Osborn: Drums
Genre: Acoustic, Bluegrass & Roots, Country
Sound description: Alternative country rock
RIYL: The Jayhawks, Son Volt, Shoestring Strap, the Coyote Problem, Nickel Creek, the Beat Farmers
No shows scheduled | Post a show |
Inception: San Diego, 2003
Current Status: Playing, recording, and touring, the band was nominated for "Best Americana or Country" at the 2007 San Diego Music Awards.
Influences: The Drams, the JayHawks, the Derailers, Asleep at the Wheel, the Beat Farmers, Dusty Wakeman, Tony Sheridan, Peter Gordon, the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, Dwight Yoakam, the Flatlanders, Slobberbone, Dave Alvin, the Hacienda Brothers, Old 97s, Rolling Stones, the Jayhawks, Wilco, Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, Neil Young, Townes Van Zandt
Formerly known as Whiskey Tango (until too many bands surfaced with the same name), the Hideaways called their first album The Whiskey Tango Sessions. Separately these guys have worked with such impressive artists as Lucinda Williams, Rosi Flores, the Beat Farmers, Dusty Wakeman, Tony Sheridan, Peter Gordon, the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, and members of both the Johnny Cash Band and the Dwight Yoakam Band. Collectively, these guys are an incredibly tight four-piece band with three very talented, distinct singer songwriters whose songs combine to create a rich, complementary album that has a remarkable level of consistency.
Recorded at "The Ranch" in El Cajon, CA, The Whiskey Tango Sessions is flavored with gorgeous pedal steel work and honest, heartfelt lyrics soaked in equal parts whiskey and integrity that weave tales of small towns, drinking, cheating, loving, and leaving. The Hideaways' style ranges from infectious pop ("Stranger's Heart") and raucous rockabilly ("Since You Said Goodbye") to bluesy ("If I Could Find a Way"). The band also brings Red Dirt flavor with a song about ranchers, señoritas, and dogs riding shotgun in an El Camino ("El Centro County Line"). Besides rockin' and twangin', it's clear the Hideaways also know the power of catchy hooks and warm harmonies.
The Hideaways have been making waves around Southern California for awhile, garnering recognition in the press and picking up nominations for multiple San Diego music awards, highlighted by winning "Best Country" in 2005 & nominated for "Best Americana Album" in 2006.

FOLATE DEFICIENCY section
Folate supplementation reduced the risk for stroke by 18%.
A deficiency of folate, vitamin B12 or vitamin B6 may
increase blood levels of homocysteine,
and folate supplementation has been shown to decrease
homocysteine levels and to improve endothelial function . At
least one study has linked low dietary folate intake with an
increased risk of coronary events. The folic acid
fortification program in the U. S. has decreased the
prevalence of low levels of folate and high levels of
homocysteine in the blood in middle-aged and older adults .
Daily consumption of folic-acid fortified breakfast cereal
and the use of folic acid supplements has been shown to be
an effective strategy for reducing homocysteine
concentrations . Evidence supports a role for
supplemental folic acid for lowering homocysteine levels,
however this does not mean that folic acid supplements will
decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. Clinical
intervention trials are underway to determine whether
supplementation with folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6
can lower risk of coronary heart disease. It is premature to
recommend folic acid supplementation for the prevention of
heart disease until results of ongoing randomized,
controlled clinical trials positively link increased folic
acid intake with decreased homocysteine levels AND decreased
risk of cardiovascular disease.

Browser extensions are awesome (and i'm even learning to write them, but the following are not mine):
|Rewrites urls using regexes, e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/(.*) → https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1
|Tree Style Tab
|Displays your tabs as a vertical column, with indentation showing hierarchy (which tabs were opened from which). It can also show and hide groups of tabs, but i turn that part off in the settings. You can also customize the appearance, see for examples.
|uBlock Origin
|Can hide distracting page elements on any site using an atrocious UI.
|Multi-Account Containers
|Lets you log in to multiple accounts on the same site at once. Tabs are colour coded.
|Stylish + userstyles.org
| Lets you replace the CSS on other people's websites.
I use a theme which styles the entire web using light-coloured text against a dark background, except for a few sites who get their own custom light-on-dark themes; the sites excluded from the global re-themeing are indicated using a mysterious and probably-wrong regex:
Also, type about:config into the address bar and
|Search for:
|Set value to:
|It makes pressing the backspace key the same as clicking the Back button unless you're editing a text field, which is what i'm used to.
|No idea why this was off by default, with no visible way to change it.
To change internal page backgrounds (view page source, configuration, new tab, about:debugging, ...) away from blinding white pixels like staring at a lightbulb, locate your profile directory (Help menu → Troubleshooting Information, click on "Open Directory" button next to Profile Directory), create a "chrome" directory if one isn't already present, download this and copy it there.
My current ~/.emacs file which so far mostly just replicates Sublime Text's default behaviour. No idea what i'm doing, it's just copy'n'pasted snippets i googled as problems came up.
{ "save_on_focus_lost": true, "always_show_minimap_viewport": true, "word_wrap": true, "spell_check": true, "update_check": false, "added_words": [ "subluminal", "i'll", "monospaced", "elsewise", "recurse", "" ], "dictionary": "Packages/Language - English/en_GB.dic", "font_size": 13, "ignored_packages": [ "Vintage" ], "overlay_scroll_bars": "enabled" }
Disable the distracting flashing cursor in Gnome terminals.
Show preview thumbnail images in the virtual desktop switcher, instead of useless names like "Desktop 1" etc.

A Potter County judge sentenced an Amarillo man Wednesday to eight years in prison after he was found guilty of indecency with a child.
After jurors found Nelson Walter Myers, 49, guilty of the charge, 47th District Judge Dan Schaap sentenced Myers, who had requested that the judge determine his fate. Myers must serve at least half of his sentence before he is eligible for parole, his attorney said.
The 2009 indictment alleged Myers caused a 4-year-old girl to touch him improperly. Court records show the offense occurred in 2006.
Before Schaap sentenced Myers, the defendant testified during a punishment hearing Wednesday that depression caused him to self-medicate with alcohol.
Myers, who was a U.S. Navy technician in the mid-1980s, voluntarily sought treatment for his depression from the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center and later from a private doctor, he said.
Myers, who said he was innocent of the charge, told his attorney, Herb Everitt, that he would not agree to voluntary probation because he would most likely be required to attend sex-offender classes.
"I will not sit in those classes and listen to what those men did to their kids," Myers said.
After the sentencing, a relative of the victim told Myers that she did not hate him, but she noted that Myers continued to maintain his innocence despite the jury's verdict.
"For you to not take responsibility is really, really sad," she said.

Yellow Toadflax
Linaria vulgaris
This is a perennial plant growing 1 to 2 feet tall.
Reproduces by seed and extensive rootstocks.
Leaves are narrow, pointed at the ends, and 2 1/2 inches long.
Flowers are an inch long with a bearded orange throat and a spur, similar to a snapdragon.
Also may be called "butter and eggs".
Yellow toadflax was introduced from Eurasia as an ornamental. It is very aggressive and can quickly displace desirable grasses. It is commonly found on roadsides, disturbed sites, and in ornamental gardens. It is not as big of a problem in Natrona County as Dalmatian Toadflax is, but it can be found in urban gardens and has the potential to escape and is very difficult to control. Pay attention to the scientific name on ornamental plants you are buying. Do not plant this!!!

"I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book,
to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put
my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other,
with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it."
Their faithful Friend and Servant, C.D.
December, 1843
Charles Dickens was thirty-one years old in 1843 when he produced A Christmas Carol at his own expense as a Christmas gift for the world, with lavish binding, gilt edging, and hand-colored illustrations, yet priced at only five shillings a copy (a price that almost everyone could afford). The overnight success of the little book, which continues to this day, has made Dickens a sort of literary Father Christmas: his images of biting cold, snowy London streets, and the traditions of the time—from roasting turkeys and bubbling puddings to the Christmas tree, only recently introduced by Prince Albert— contributed a great deal to the spread of Christmas celebrations around the world. The story has proved timeless; the readings and performances that Carol has received over the years, from family readings by the fireplace, to one-man shows, to major motion pictures, are numerous, to say the least.
So why do it again? Why does a Christmas story set in the brutal era of Victorian England call us to repeat it, year after year? On the social level, Dickens had specific personal and political intentions that might not apply to every individual in this day and age: reliving the best of his childhood memories, spreading his belief in the necessity of helping the poor, raising the importance of children, to name a few. While 21st century Americans don't face the horrors of debtors' prison and child labor, the squalor of tenement houses, or a life expectancy of twenty-two like the lowest classes of 19th century London did, not many are untouched these days by economic uncertainty at some level. And very few of us could not manage to look around, and find someone to whom we could reach out at this time of year.
No doubt charity is a good practice both then and now, and the resolve to give is, in some sense, an easy fix. But Dickens wrote that he hoped to "haunt" people with his Christmas Carol. The characters that he created certainly imbed themselves in our hearts, whether flesh-and-blood like wretched old Scrooge, poor Cratchit, and innocent Tiny Tim; or more conceptual, but no less real, like the terrifying personification of Ignorance and Want, and the Three Spirits of Christmas itself. The City of London comes to life with its own personality in Dickens' story too, not just as scene and setting, but as a watcher and contributor to the lives that run up and down its streets, or sing carols on its corners, seeking shelter from the icy wind and trying to scratch out a living.
But most haunting is the mystery that Dickens creates as he weaves Scrooge's past, present, and future together in such a way, that the tortured, shriveled soul chooses to be reborn. The Three Spirits of Christmas do not erase Scrooge's past. The pain of the boy deserted at school, the young man too proud to love, and the cruel employer will always be a part of him. But at the bottom A Christmas Carol is a story of redemption: an old miser, past hope it seems, without a friend in the world, gets a chance to start again. Isn't that what most of us secretly dream of: a clean slate, the means to make amends, finding a way to live differently? When we review our own shortcomings, realizing this kind of change seems like an impossibility. But A Christmas Carol tells us that we can.
Join us as we allow ourselves to be haunted once again by Dickens' tale. In his words, God bless Christmas, and God bless us all, everyone.
