Need help getting my groove back
Dear Counsellor,
I need help to get back my sex drive. I am a 60-year-old survivor of domestic violence trying desperately to come to grips with fear of sex and intimacy.
Low sexual desire can result from past traumatic events including sexual abuse. For women, being in a relationship that is physically and emotionally abusive may make maintaining a healthy appetite for intimacy almost impossible.
To be on the receiving end of continuous insults and physical blows can make the woman feel a sense of humiliation and anger, and she may be less inclined to romantically and sexually engage with her abusive partner. After a while she may build up resentment towards her partner and, by extension, reluctance to engage in sexual intercourse, as she will associate sex with distress. She then becomes very indifferent and emotionless towards the act. Some women have even become very averse to any semblance of intimacy.
So it is not unusual for you to lose your sex drive in a toxic relationship in which your self-esteem has been shattered. The good thing is that you seem to have survived the intimate partner violence and want to rekindle the passion you once had for sexual relations. This is a positive sign and suggests that you are healing from the emotional turmoil of the past and now want to enjoy your life again.
It is important that you do not jump into a new relationship without first taking personal time to engage in self-esteem building and be at the place psychologically where you feel good about yourself.
The new partner must be patient and understanding and be prepared to help you regain sexual interest by taking it slow and moving at your pace and state of readiness.
The goal should not be sexual penetration, but emotional connection where you will regain a sense of security and vulnerability. So spend more bonding with the individual and just enjoy each other's company and presence.
Provided that you are not on any medication that affects your sexual desire, and you don't have any unresolved psychological issues or medical problems, your sex drive should return and you will be able to give yourself permission to fully enjoy the sexual experience. Remember, anxiety can make matters worse, so just relax and let it happen naturally. All the best.

Basement Jaxx - "Dracula"
Prolific London DJ and production duo Basement Jaxx dropped "Dracula" today – it's a four-minute nugget of trance-y, house-y goodness as ready and waiting to be thrown on the True Blood soundtrack as on the stereo at your next rave. The song fits its title nicely – computerized drums and bass pile up on top of each other into a sexy, clubby, spooky onslaught of irresistible, throbbing sound. "We ain't got much, it's true," sings a mysterious, intoxicating sample, "But you got me, and I got you." Give it a listen and consider ordering some strobe lights for your holiday party.

Edy Butler, Beverly Stanghellini and Mary Hope Bryant look over the menus at Smokey Bones
Primrose Red Hat members Ruby Heckathorn and Bea Hawkey at Tony's in Findlay
Lima, OH, Retirement Communities
Lima Primrose residents exercised their taste buds by going on some lunch outings in September.
At the first of the month we tried out the Q BBQ Restaurant in Lima, which specializes in barbeque pulled pork, briskets and Ribs.
One of the residents suggested going to Smokey Bones, so we took a trip down to the one in Dayton. The food was delicious and the drive down was wonderful. It was a bright sunny fall day some of the trees were just starting to turn.
The next day the Primrose Red Hats went to Findlay to eat out at Tony's Restaurant who is also famous for their ribs and a wonderful salad bar. After lunch we took a drive and then went to Dietches to get ice cream and chocolates.
That topped off a wonderful day. The residents enjoyed the lunch outings this month and are ready for next month.

Wikipedia founder launches news site based on user contributions
Image credit: dreamstime
Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, is launching a crowd-funded news service called Wikitribune in an effort to combat fake news.
The news initiative will see both professional journalists and community contributors produce "fact-checked, global news stories".
The new site will be free to use, but also accept donations from monthly "supporters" who will then be able to suggest topics to be covered - while the site also says it will publish full transcripts of interviews where possible as part of transparency plans.
"Wikitribune is news by the people and for the people," Wales (below) said.
"This will be the first time that professional journalists and citizen journalists will work side-by-side as equals writing stories as they happen, editing them live as they develop and at all times backed by a community checking and re-checking all facts."
Prominent web news sources including Google and social media sites such as Facebook have been heavily criticised in recent months over the spread of fake news stories on their platforms.
Both Google and Facebook have pledged to improve the tools that monitor for such content, but Wales says Wikitribune will also try and lower the news media's reliance on advertising through its monthly supports programme.
"The basic concept here is to have a community-driven news platform, so very much like other Wiki communities like Wikipedia," he said.
"And this will have a business model which is based on monthly supporters rather than advertising, so that it drives our incentive in a different direction.
"We want to write things that people are passionate about enough that they want to pay for it.
"This is something that's been a passion of mine for some time - really looking at the business model of news and how it has driven us in a certain direction, and that's really culminated now in some of the worst things we see in terms of genuinely fake news being put out - which is being fuelled by the incessant drive for clicks."
The entrepreneur said recent reports of subscription growth at the New York Times and The Guardian made him confident Wikitribune's model could work, where paying members will also be able to influence what the site covers.
"For the people who are monthly supporters, they're going to have a say in the topics that we're covering, so for example if you are part of a community - a small town somewhere - if you can get together enough supporters then we can put a full-time reporter on that beat to cover whatever it is you're interested in," Wales said, adding this approach could be applied to both geographical or topical interests.
The Wikipedia founder said that in the early days of Wikitribune a more "traditional process" of editing and publishing will be followed by journalists on staff, but community members will also then be able to participate in the editing and publishing of stories.
"In terms of publication, the publish authorisation could be given by a member of staff or a trusted community member. It's more a working together side-by-side approach," he said.

Move will combine experience, regional expertise with resources of financial giant.
Scottsdale, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/06/2014 -- Echo Farrell, owner and broker of Farrell Fine Homes, announced her real estate firm has joined forces with the home division of financial giant Berkshire Hathaway.
The transition will allow Farrell to continue to offer her clients a high level of service, while providing unprecedented opportunity to reach domestic and international buyers through the Berkshire Hathaway Home Services network.
"In my mind, this opportunity allows Farrell Fine Homes to take the things at which we are already very adept – client service, knowledge of the Phoenix-Scottsdale area, industry experience – and combine it with the unmatched support of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services," said Echo Farrell.
Farrell Fine Homes has served the full-scale real estate needs of home buyers and sellers in the Valley of the Sun for more than 10 years. Farrell will combine her extensive background with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services' growing national brokerage network. Berkshire Hathaway Home Services has more than 28,000 agents and 750 offices covering most of the United States.
According to Mark Stark, CEO/owner, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Nevada and Arizona Properties, the addition of Farrell's real estate services strengthens his company's ability to provide tremendous service and expertise.
"Farrell Fine Homes has earned a stellar reputation in the Phoenix-Scottsdale real estate market," said Stark. "Echo and her team are the kind of experienced, customer-focused professionals we want to work with. We are excited to welcome her to the team."
Though the Phoenix area was impacted by the recession, in recent years the sun-splashed region has seen the return of strong residential and business growth. Earlier this year, Forbes magazine ranked Arizona as the number one state for expected job growth, beating out Texas for the top spot. Forbes also ranked Phoenix the third fastest-growing city in America for 2014.
Dawn Seagren, Branch Manager, will work closely with Farrell to continue expanding her client base in the Valley.
"The Berkshire Hathaway name is synonymous with success, service and trust," said Seagren. "This makes us a perfect match for Echo and her team. I am confident this is a terrific move that will prove beneficial for Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Echo Farrell and real estate buyers and sellers throughout the Valley of the Sun."
In joining Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Farrell will gain access to the brand's robust technology suite, business consultation services, professional education and more.
About Echo Farrell

Mt. Haynes Overlook Timelapse Video
One of my favorite spots in Yellowstone is the Mt. Haynes Overlook about six miles in from the west gate.
It's great to photograph it after a fresh snow because of the contrast that gets added. Most of the snow was gone last week when I visited there, but the skies were blue and the clouds were quickly moving by – a great opportunity for a timelapse video.
Doing this shot was fairly easy. I pulled over in the parking lot, put the tripod just outside the window, and attached the camera to a laptop. Canon has software in which you can enter how frequently to take a picture, plus how many you want. For this one, I had the camera take 400 pictures, each five seconds apart.
I was using my Canon Digital Rebel (link to Amazon) and Canon's 10-22 wide angle lens.

Controversial photographer and professional sketchy person Terry Richardson shot Miley Cyrus for the new issue of CANDY Magazine, and the photos are a subtle artistic tribute to the beauty of the female form. Haha nah, they're basically porn. Do you, Miley.
Cyrus does her thing in nine different shots, posing naked with a cat, dressed as a fireman, and spending some nice quality time with a giant strap-on.

A pensioner is celebrating half a century in the same Morley home.
Muriel Worthington first moved to the town with her late husband Arthur, her mother and their dog in the late summer of 1965, after Arthur's work commitments brought them across the Pennines from Manchester.
Mrs Worthington herself worked as a wages clerk for the Gas Board before her retirement, while her husband was a chartered accountant for a bakery.
Mrs Worthington said: "I remember the first time I saw our house, we were living in some flats around the corner and whilst I was walking the dog I saw that this house was empty. I called the housing association and they told me if we could move in by the Saturday it was ours – it was Thursday but we managed it. It was my birthday the following week and I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present, I've been happy here ever since."
The golden anniversary coincides with the 65th birthday of the Leeds Tenant's Society, which first helped the Worthingtons into their home. The organisation is now part of the Leeds and Yorkshire Housing Association (LYHA).
Mrs Worthington added: "There was always the chance that we'd have to move because of my husband's job so it suited us perfectly to stay here and rent as LYHA customers. The neighbours are friendly and my friends and I go to Elderly Action in Morley Town Hall every week, which we enjoy.
"LYHA has always looked after the house and anything I've needed doing has been done. It's been a happy home."
Lisa Pickard, Chief Executive of LYHA, presented Mrs Worthington with a bouquet of flowers to mark the anniversary and said: "Mrs Worthington's story reminds me why I am incredibly proud to work for LYHA, an association that has provided homes for 65 years now, making a positive difference to people's lives."

Partners weigh Sun's acquisition of MySQL
Solution providers weigh the impact of Sun's acquisition of MySQL on both commercial and open source software realms.
Partner reaction was mixed to Wednesday's news of Sun Microsystems' proposed $1 billion acquisition of MySQL AB, the provider of a popular cross-platform database.
The deal -- Sun will pay about $800 million in cash and assume about $200 million in options -- is expected to close next quarter or shortly thereafter. Cupertino, Calif.-based MySQL helped pioneer the dual-delivery software model by offering its database under both commercial and open source licenses.
On the commercial side, there was some worry that Sun might hike licensing fees.
"My biggest fear is, they paid a billion dollars for this -- will they try to recoup that through higher prices?" said Martin Van Ryswyk, vice president of engineering for Electric Cloud, an independent software vendor (ISV) that embeds the commercial version of MySQL in its software production management tools. "Right now MySQL's the perfect price-performance for us," he added.
Electric Cloud's alternative options would be Oracle's embedded database and Microsoft SQL Server, both of which are more expensive, he noted.
On the flip side, Sun might invest in MySQL to make it better, Van Ryswyk added.
Sheeri Cabral, a DBA with The Pythian Group, an Ottawa-based DBA outsourcing company, was surprised at the news. "I was shocked because they were heading down the road to an IPO," she said.
But Cabral discounts worst-case scenarios being bandied about that Sun ownership will weaken or close off MySQL. "Look, Sun has infrastructure, resources. It has developers who know a lot about the internals of not just Solaris but Intel. They know a lot about Linux. They have people working on Java that could make MySQL run better," she said.
Open source stalwarts say the MySQL acquisition, announced at a MySQL conference in Florida on Wednesday, will have no impact on their model.
"I don't see this as being all that stunning," said a Florida database specialist who asked not to be named. "Sun's pretty good about spinning out technologies like Open Office to the [open source] community -- although it took them too long [to do that] with Java. The truth is the open source model will continue regardless of who buys these companies."
A former MySQL partner in Boston said the MySQL acquisition surprised him but would have no impact on his business since he'd already moved on to more profitable Oracle work. He said he migrated because he couldn't make money doing MySQL work, and his view is "MySQL couldn't either."
MySQL competes with PostgreSQL and Pervasive DB in the open source realm and with Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server at the commercial/proprietary end.
MySQL CEO Marten Mickos has said a good chunk of the company's business comes from ISVs who embed the database in their own software and services. Such customers include Sage Group Nokia, Alcatel/Lucent, Cisco, ScienceLogic and the aforementioned Electric Cloud.
In the past year MySQL had been expected to go public, but several sources said it was not getting much traction.
MySQL executive vice president Zack Urlocker blogged on Wednesday that MySQL will continue to support all its current operating systems from Linux to Windows to Macintosh. He also pointed out that Sun and MySQL share many vendor partners, including AMD, Dell, Intel, Red Hat and even Microsoft and Oracle.
Urlocker sought to preempt speculation that Sun-MySQL will target Oracle. "While some folks might see this move as a competitive move against Oracle, I don't think that's the case," Urlocker wrote of the MySQL acquisition. "MySQL has never attempted to compete head-on against the big DBMS companies. Instead, we've focused on our appeal to Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, Telco and Software as a Service or on-demand companies. In many cases, MySQL co-exists with traditional database offerings."
Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz on his blog noted that Sun is "putting a billion dollars behind the M in LAMP."
LAMP is the Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl software development platform that open source proponents push as a better alternative to Windows and proprietary Unix.

Traveling on a Dime: Petén
Traveling on a Dime: Petén
Petén is Guatemala's Northern-most province and it is full of wonders left behind by our Mayan ancestors, and rich with Nature's splendor.
This province is home to Guatemala's one of the only two international airports and getting here by plane makes the trip much easier and insipid too. You can choose this alternative to make thing easier, but if you want to experience and be immerse in local culture, you have to travel Elí's way, and it also could save you some money.
If you are near Guatemala City, you have to take one of those luxury buses running the route to Petén and they usually go for Q200 one way.
An alternative to save money is to travel to Coban, in the province of Alta Verapaz. There are chicken buses running this route and you can board one for Q40. From Coban you can get on one of those minivans used as rural buses to Chisec or Raxruha, which will cost you about Q20. From Raxruha you take another one of those minivans to Sayaxche, which is another Q20. And from Sayaxche you just have to pay a small fee of Q2 to have one of the local's boats cross you the river and you can board another of those buses waiting close to the shoreline. These buses take you all the way to Santa Elena for Q20, same bus terminal where all the luxury buses from Guatemala City arrived on.
Yes, this trip will take you about 12 hours, but you'll be immersed in local culture/food, something you don't get to see seated on those luxury buses.
From the bus terminal in Santa Elena you can walk for 15 minutes to the Island City of Flores (taxis charged you Q20 for this short ride), a short 10 street blocks away.
There are hundreds of hotels on the Island of Flores, all prices ranging from $200 to Q40.
I usually stay at one of these inexpensive hotels because Elí only needs a clean bed and a shower. It will be a waste to spend too much time on the hotel, having so many things and places to go in on the island and around it.
On my last trip I stayed at a hotel for Q60, and it had an amazing view and I was next to the Malecon, six steps from the lakeshores.
Actun Kan
The Actun Kan cave system is located a short 25 minutes walk from the Island of Flores, you can take a taxi or a tuc tuc for Q10. Walking is my choice. The entrance fee is Q25. Just make sure you don't venture too deep into the caves without a guide or someone who knows them well enough. I had to bring out a group of 12-14 Mexicans who were exploring the caves and were disoriented and couldn't find their way out. And bring enough batteries!
Tikal is a must stop for those of you visiting Petén. You can get a private bus running this route for about Q100 for a round trip, or you can do Elí's way. There are small buses used by locals which run the same route for Q40 and they run every 30 minutes, so if you like a place along the way, you can get off the bus and spend time exploring. A must stop is El Remate, a small village on the shores of the lake with crystal-clear waters. Then you get on another of those buses heading to Tikal. Entry fee to Tikal is Q25 for us nationals and Q150 for foreign tourists.
Back to the Island of Flores
Food options are abundant on this island and you won't have trouble finding the food style you like. But if you are on this island and you don't try the Tepezcuintle, Lowland Paca, it is the equivalent of going to a tour of Napa Valley and not trying one of their exquisite Cabernet Sauvignons (!).
Drinks with a view
There are dozens of restaurants right on the lake shores, but the best ones face the sunset. There is a Bar on a third floor terrace, one of my favorites for a beer. Another great one, and with very affordable prices is on the lake shore, their drinks are delicious and you can get a great Tequila Sunrise for Q25, margaritas are Q9 and very delicious.
And to top it off
As I've said, there are hundreds of food options but for me, there is nothing better than buying a to-go plate of street food from the street grills next to the entrance to the island. You can buy a meal here for Q30, which includes guacamole, longaniza, a piece of grilled meat, black beans, salsa and tortillas. You have to go to the supermarket across the bridge and buy a bottle of red wine Q40 and have your meal seated on the malecon (lake retention wall), shoes off and facing the sunset. Anything better is a sin!
With transportation, food and drinks, if you are money-wise, you can have an amazing three days experience for about Q1,000, $130-$140

As an entrepreneur planning to retail these devices online or thru a physical store, it is very important that you know and are familiarized with all the assorted parts and components of the wireless camera products you're selling. Knowledge in these areas is critical whenever an investigation is made by a possible client. Answering any investigations relating to parts meticulously will increase your potential client's trust on your business, particularly if you're on online retailer.
To put you in the right path towards wireless camera online retailing success, the following listing is provided giving you some of the most basic, and most vital parts and elements that you need to grasp as a web retailer.
-Camera Sensor
In simple language the camera sensor is the heart of the camera as it processes and records the pictures that are passed thru the cameras lenses. Wireless cameras now use sensors in electronic or digital form, and this includes the digital CCD ( Charge-Coupled Device ) image sensor, the CMOS or Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor sensor, and the back-illuminated CMOS sensors which are now used extensively in modern digital cameras.
If the sensor is the center of the camera, the lens is the eye. Pictures and light are captured by the assembly of lenses that forms this part and passes these on to the sensor for electronic processing and storing.
Cameras are installed on location thru mounting brackets, allowing the camera assembly to be directed to the area it is monitoring. Using the proper brackets is important in giving the wireless camera a good view point in capturing the required pictures or video feeds.
Wireless cameras employ radio waves to transmit image or video information and other information to a receiving video processor or PC. In order to do this, the signals are sent thru a transmitter built into the camera itself. There are several transmitters for wireless cameras and would depend on the particular connectivity or compatibility it was designed for like infrared, Bluetooth, GSM, 3G or WiFi.
The receiver is the counterpart of the wireless camera at the opposite end, receiving the caught image and video signals for processing and recording. The receiver will also rely on what kind of video signals and compatibility that the camera has. The wireless camera also has an inbuilt receiver alongside its transmitter to receive and process instructions from the user by remote.
-LED Light
- E. Ds or LEDs are fast becoming the norm for low-energy lighting systems for virtually any applications including the illumination used for wireless cameras. These LED lamps give off reliable on-camera video illumination without consuming much space in the camera's framework.
-IR Light
The night vision capacities of wireless cameras are made feasible with the use of infrared lighting and illuminators. Using infrared radiation, light waves the eyes cannot see, the wireless cameras can record images even if there is little or no perceivable light.
The camera's processor is the mind of the wireless cameras which controls the image processing and other mechanical and electronic functions of the wireless cameras. The kind of processor in the camera dictates its video and wireless capacities, similar to the CPU of a PC
-Electronic Shutter
An electronic shutter is the digital alternative for the traditional mechanical shutters letting in light and pictures to the camera's sensor. The variations in design will depend on the look of the camera's sensor, whether it's's a CCD or a CMOS image sensor.
Video signals transmitted by the wireless camera are magnified, sent and received through the antenna of the receiver. The camera also has an inbuilt antenna that receives the digital instructions from the user or controller that sets the functions of the camera and its mechanisms.
Wireless cameras, dependent on the requirement and application, can be installed outside an establishment and exposed to the environment. A sunshield is needed to protect the camera's lenses and prevents the sun's glare from twisting the caught photographs. Sunshields are customarily made of durable plastic or metal that protects and insulates the camera from the environment.
The more recent and most modern wireless camera brands and models are coming up with additional features, parts and elements that may make the user's experience much better, and exciting. As a web retailer, it'd be to your most profitable advantage to learn more about these components and set yourself up as a reliable source of information as well as products by your possible customers.
The best venue to dig around for wireless cameras is on the internet, so search for them today and find the cheapest and best quality wireless cameras.

Today is Robert Burns birthday, and so traditionally today is the day where there will be a celebration of his life and poetry works... altough a Burns night can be held on any day you like.
My Mum is Scottish, and so I grew up knowing about Burns and about his poems and even memorised one which my Mum taught me (To A Mouse, on Turning Her Up in Her Nest, with the Plough) and I can only say in my fake Scottish accent (I say fake as I am 100% English and my Scottish accent is very dodgy) but I have never been to a Burns Supper.
Tonight however I will serve neeps and tatties (mashed turnip and potato) with mince and onions to my teaghlach (Yes I know a few bits of Gaelic, the best bit when I was growing up was learning Gaelic swear words to use during school until we got a Scottish Teacher and luckily she laughed it off) and we shall have a mini celebration of Burns.
Luckily I know the proper format of the evening thanks in part to a conversation with my Mum yesterday, a long ago conversation with my Gran (who even after living in England for about 44 years never lost her scottish accent!) and of course a Wikipedia search which is;
Start of the evening (General socialising, so in other words normal in our house)
Host's welcoming speech (Me explaining what is going to happen and The Selkirk Grace)
Entrance of the haggis (which I won't do as I know what it tastes like and I don't like it and the poem is sooo long and hard to make funny!)
Supper (the affore mentioned mince, neeps and tatties)
Immortal memory (a quick bit about Burns)
Appreciation (will be skipped)
Toast to the Lassies (About women in general and Top Ender and I)
Reply to the Toast to the Lassies (About men in general and Baby Boy and Daddy)
Other toasts and speeches (Hopefully a quick Thank you Mummy!)
Works by Burns (My party piece)
Closing (Bed time!)
So tonight, if you are celebrating with a Burns supper or not please do raise your glass and think of a great Scottish hero.... or my Gran who will always be my Scottish Hero.

China Southern to fly non-stop Guangzhou-Adelaide
China Southern is poised to begin direct flights between Adelaide and Guangzhou as early as this December, according to South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill.
The South Australian state government says it has reached an in-principle deal with China Southern Airlines to start the first direct flights between mainland China and Adelaide. Cathay Pacific currently operates flights between Adelaide and Hong Kong.
Three direct flights each week from mainland China to Adelaide would create more than 135 local jobs, and have flow-on benefits for the state's hotels, restaurants and tourism operators, Wetherill said.
The final agreement is expected to be signed between the State Government and China Southern in Guangzhou later this week.
"Having a direct flight from mainland China will create jobs that extend well beyond Adelaide Airport – helping our tourism and hospitality sectors to take advantage of this growing market," Wetherill said.
"Our partner Adelaide Airport Limited has been instrumental in our discussions with China Southern, and we are grateful for their commitment to working with us to grow the number of international services coming into Adelaide.
"Tourism is one of South Australia's key economic drivers, which is why the State Government committed another AUD 35 million over two years in the 2016/17 State Budget – this is in addition to the AUD 35 million committed over two years in last year's Budget.
"The recent introduction of daily flights from Qatar Airways into Adelaide has also opened connections to more than 140 destinations including 25 European cities, with Qatar flights estimated to create more than 220 jobs across the state."
China Southern is the world's third largest airline based on passenger movement, operating more than 680 domestic and international aircraft with approximately 260 international flights every day to 72 destinations around the world.

Tuesday 1 Home wins in the Worthington for Sunderland, who score two in the last minute in beating Luton 3-0, and Wimbledon, where the holders Chelsea suffer their first defeat in 19 games. Gianluca becomes the 1,000th defeated manager to say: "We tried to play football, not long ball like Wimbledon," while Joe Kinnear virtually writes his own invite to an FA disciplinary hearing by announcing that his players "had a nice few bob" on themselves to win the tournament at the start of the season.
Wednesday 2 In the Worthington Spurs beat a Man Utd team featuring nine changes from their last match. "Some clubs may treat this tournament lightly but we're not in a position to do so," says George. "Even the best teams can't win all the time," sniffs Alex. In the other tie, recent cup specialists Leicester plough on with a 1-0 win over Blackburn , who announce that they have been given permission to talk to Brian Kidd about their managerial vacancy. "I just hope he decides to stay," whispers Alex, being brave for the sake of the kids.
Thursday 3 "I just didn't want to die wondering," says Brian Kidd on becoming the new manager of Blackburn. He claims that his mind was made up when Man Utd refused to give him a written guarantee that he would succeed Alex, who says, "I worked hard to keep Brian here last summer so this is disappointing."
Saturday 5 Villa keep top spot after coming back to draw 1-1 at home with Man Utd. West Ham drop back from second after a 4-0 crushing at Leeds, where Neil Ruddock is dismissed for clattering Harry Kewell. Also bathing early, for the third time this season, is Dennis Wise, sent off during the first half of Chelsea's goalless draw at (where else) Everton. "I think the less everyone talks about Dennis the better," growls Gianluca. "We could be turning the year in the top three, we're bucking the system," beams Joe Kinnear after Wimbledon's 2-1 win over Coventry. City's chairman Bryan Richardson joins Gordon Strachan in a visit to the referee's dressing room, apparently to enquire after some penalties not given. Southampton drop back to the bottom after losing at Leicester while Blackburn celebrate Brian Kidd's appointment with a rare win, 1-0 over faltering Charlton. In the First Division Sunderland are now nine points ahead of the play-off contenders after another home win, this time 1-0 against Stockport, while Ipswich are five points clear in second place after a win by the same score against Birmingham. In the Cup, Third Division strugglers Hull City and Swansea beat Luton and Stoke respectively, while Southport of the Conference win at Mansfield and Yeovil claim another League scalp at home, beating Northampton 2-0.
Sunday 6 Middlesbrough stretch their unbeaten run to nine matches but miss a chance to move into the top five after conceding a late equaliser in a 2-2 home draw with Newcastle. "The crowd was not happy and my fellow coaches from Middlesbrough were not happy so I have to be pleased with that," says Ruud, possibly not too happy himself.
Monday 7 Liverpool's faltering form has set young Michael Owen thinking about his career plans: "My ambition is to win honours because I haven't done that yet. After five years maybe I'll move abroad." These 18-year-olds: once they would have settled for painting their bedroom black and getting a motorbike on HP, now they want a job in Madrid or Turin. Tsk.
Tuesday 8 Liverpool tiptoe out of the UEFA Cup, losing 1-0 at home to Celta Vigo and so 4-1 on aggregate. "I cannot fault my players for effort," says Gérard, though you sense that several will be not be his players for much longer. Rangers are out too, after taking the lead at Parma they have defender Sergio Porrini sent off and go on to lose 3-1. If that news cheered up Celtic fans, it will have been balanced by news that Mark Viduka, their new signing from Croatia Zagreb, has gone home to Australia without having kicked a ball for his new club. "I am not a guy to hide my feelings," he says, insisting on a rest after a stressful time in Zagreb. What's wrong with old-fashioned emotional repression, dammit? Fergus McCann, meanwhile, sniffs an agent-shaped rat: "There are question marks over the fee and where it is going." A night to commemorate for Man City fans: the crowd for their Auto Windscreens first round tie, just 3,007, is the lowest ever to see a match at Maine Road. Rubbing it in, opponents Mansfield win 2-1. The disgraced Freddy Shepherd and Douglas Hall have forced their way back on to the Newcastle plc board. The three directors who voted against their return resign and Newcastle's stockbrokers announce that they will no longer be working with the club. Ruud, however, is believed to be hopeful of getting a new chequebook to play with.
Wednesday 9 A 1-1 draw at home to Bayern is enough for Man Utd to reach the knockout stage of the Champions League. Both teams know some time before the end of the match that they have qualified, thanks to results in other groups. "I knew we were OK with ten minutes to go because the Germans are never wrong with these things, they have very good lines of communication," says Alex, almost mentioning the war. Arsenal, already out and fielding a reserve side, cause a major surprise winning 3-1 away against Panathinaikos. Chelsea move up to third place in the Premiership, only two points off the top, after an injury-time goal from Tore Andre Flo ("he's like a lethal weapon," beams Gianluca) secures a 2-1 win over Aston Villa.
Thursday 10 UEFA confirm that the Champions League is to be expanded to 32 teams from next season, with the third-placed club in the Premiership getting the chance to play off for a place in the group stages. And if they bugger that up, they'll move across to the UEFA Cup which is to be merged with the Cup-Winners Cup. The champions of Scotland, meanwhile, will have to enter the Champions League in the first qualifying round and get through three matches to reach the last 32. It's going to be hell.
Friday 11 The FA are to investigate transfer deals between Tranmere and Everton, including that of Steve Simonsen, to determine whether Peter Johnson (no relation to Anton) had undue influence at two clubs. Portsmouth striker John Aloisi is reported to be joining Charlton for £800,000, but behind Alan Ball's back ("an incredible deal, a shocking deal, a laughable deal," he says). "I refused to sell the players at what I considered knockdown prices so the chairman got someone else in to do it," Ball says. Step forward the "multi-talented" (Daily Mail) agent and impresario, Athole Still.
Saturday 12 Man Utd go to the top of the Premier League but are denied a victory at White Hart Lane by Sol Campbell's late equaliser in a 2-2 draw. After seeing six of his players booked and Gary Neville sent off in the first half, Alex Ferguson tangles with the fourth official on the touchline, refuses to shake hands with George Graham, locks himself in the dressing-room and then leaves without attending the mandatory after-match press conference. He was a bit upset, apparently. Chelsea blow their chance to go top by conceding a last-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw at Derby. Pierre van Hooijdonk is sent off in Forest's 3-1 defeat at Leicester. "Whatever else we say about him, I don't think he is regarded as a hard-tackling striker," says Dave Bassett, managing to sound miffed and uncharitable at the same time. Result of the day in the Nationwide is Birmingham's 7-1 win at Oxford. Manager Malcolm Shotton throws his jacket to United fans at the end, saying: "It was a Christmas present." They said it was just what they wanted, but did he have the receipt?
Sunday 13 Wild times on and off the pitch at Villa Park. A half-time skydiver dressed as Santa Claus crashes into the Trinity Road stand and plummets to the pitch, breaking more bones than he knew he had and delaying the second half for 20 minutes. Arsenal then proceed to throw away a 2-0 lead in the second half. Two more goals from Dion Dublin and one from Julian Joachim take Villa back to the top. Sports Personality of the Year Michael Owen, in his last game as an 18-year-old, misses a penalty as Liverpool go down 1-0 at Wimbledon. "I've told the players that if they keep playing like that they will get back to the top of the table. I'm disappointed as a man but not as a manager," says Gérard. Portsmouth fans invade the pitch twice during their team's 1-0 home defeat by Grimsby to protest at Martin Gregory's stewardship of the club. But the Aloisi deal is up in the air. "No one is going anywhere," says Alan Ball.
Monday 14 "It's nice to perform disappointingly and still get a result," says David O'Leary, reading from the Bumper Book of George Graham Quotations after Leeds move up to third following a 2-0 win over Coventry. Patrick Vieira is fined a record £20,000 at an FA disciplinary hearing for making gestures to the crowd after Arsenal's match at Sheffield Wed last month, but he is found not guilty of assaulting a policeman in the players' tunnel. "Patrick's gestures came after verbal abuse from the fans. He is an aggressive player on the pitch but very kind off it," says Arsène.
Tuesday 15 A mushroom cloud appears over Lancaster Gate HQ as Graham Kelly is forced to resign as FA chief executive for his part in the unauthorised loan made to the Welsh FA, allegedly in exchange for them supporting Keith Wiseman's bid for a FIFA post. Wiseman receives a vote of no confidence as FA chairman but refuses to stand down, though he will be officially dumped at the next full meeting of the FA council in January. "There is no question of financial impropriety by myself. I'm not embarrassed but it's certainly a big disappointment for me personally," says Graham. "I want to stress that the leadership of the FA is still in good hands," says Graham's temporary replacement David Davies, flashing his palms. "It has given the FA the perfect opportunity to modernise itself," says Ken Bates, who has apparently been sounded out about taking over from Wiseman. One certainty to emerge from the chaos of Lancaster Gate-gate is that England will have to qualify for the 2006 World Cup. The Asian Football Confederation threatens to withdraw its teams from the 2002 World Cup qualifiers in protest at Asia being given only two qualifying places. It had been expected that a third Asian country would play off against the Oceania winners, who will instead play a South American team.The other regions have kept the same number of qualifiers as in 1998.
Wednesday 16 Man Utd miss a chance to go top after being held to a 1-1 draw by Chelsea at Old Trafford, Gianfranco Zola getting an equalising goal seven minutes from time. Alex fumes over referee Graham Barber's failure to send off Bernard Lambourde who was already on a yellow card when he fouled a goalbound Dwight Yorke: "If the referees are consistent then fair enough but when they change from game to game it's very frustrating." Media group NTL pay £10 million for a six per cent share in Newcastle Utd and will acquire a majority stake if the Monopolies and Mergers Commission allows BSkyB to take control of Man Utd. Deadly duo Douglas Hall and Freddy Shepherd will make over £100 million between them if the deal goes through.
Thursday 17 David Platt is the surprise choice as the new coach of Sampdoria, though he may be barred from sitting on the bench because he doesn't hold the necessary coaching licences. John Aloisi joins Coventry from Portsmouth for a cut-price £650,000, in a deal agreed between the two clubs' chairmen.
Friday 18 In the least surprising resignation of the season so far, Martin Gregory steps down as Portsmouth chairman having allegedly received death threats from fans.
Saturday 19 Chelsea go top for the first time since Peter Nicholas was their midfield dynamo, after two late goals beat a Spurs team reduced to ten by the dismissal of Chris Armstrong. "It is much better being top than being bottom," offers Gianluca. Man Utd are down to third after losing at home for the first time in nearly a year, 3-2 to Middlesbrough, whose supporters sing "Are you City in disguise?" with their side three up. Not a good start for acting assistant manager Jim Ryan who'd only been expecting to make Kidd-type moves on the bench but instead was manager for the day in place of an absent Alex. A 3-1 win over Wimbledon takes Southampton (with 14 players injured and "a creche on the bench" according David Jones) off the bottom ahead of Forest who squander a two-goal lead to draw with Blackburn. In the First Division, cash-strapped Portsmouth score the quickest goal of the day inside a minute at Bolton only to let in three in the final 20 minutes. They remain one place above the relegation zone though, thanks to another defeat for fellow strugglers Oxford. Fulham top the Second after winning 1-0 at Preston, ahead of Walsall who beat previous leaders Stoke by the same score. Cardiff go into Christmas four points clear in the Third after a 4-2 win over promotion rivals Mansfield.
Sunday 20 Arsenal (remember them?) move up to sixth after a 3-1 win against Leeds during which Gilles Grimandi becomes their fifth player to be sent off this season and the 17th since Arsène took charge. Neil Ruddock and Trevor Sinclair, resplendent in flared suits and kipper ties having just attended West Ham's Christmas fancy dress party, are arrested for trying to walk over the roof of a car with the driver still inside. "It would appear that they have let themselves down," says Harry Redknapp.
Tuesday 22 Paul Alcock says he may take legal action against his mortal enemy Paolo Di Canio for that push for which he has needed physiotherapy (bruised egos can take a while to heal). Paolo, having served out his suspension, has told Wednesday that he is not "mentally right" to return to the club before the new year. French international Ibrahim Ba will not being joining Newcastle from AC Milan after failing a medical. He might look back on that as a narrow escape. The Kenny Dalglish-Jim Kerr consortium claim they will scrap their bid to take control of Celtic after the club's chairman and current owner Fergus McCann refuses to meet them. "It seems he wasn't man enough to see us," says Jim, forgetting to add his customary "Woah, yeah".
Wednesday 23 Arsenal pull out of a deal to take Nigerian striker Nwankwo Kanu on loan from Inter because the player will need knee surgery that will keep him out for six weeks. One Anglo-Italian move that may go ahead, however, involves corner flag dance pioneer Lee Sharpe joining Sampdoria from Leeds (yes, that's where he's been) for the rest of the season.
Saturday 26 Chelsea go top after a 2-0 win at Southampton while Villa are beaten 2-1 at Blackburn in a match that turns on the dismissal of keeper Michael Oakes for handling the ball outside the area."It cost us the game. There has never been any better argument for introducing a fourth official than this," says John Gregory. Man Utd stay third with a 3-0 stroll against Forest who are now joined in the relegation zone by Charlton, who suffer their sixth successive defeat, 2-1 at Wimbledon. "I don't know if the players lack confidence – they don't seem to lack it when they ask for a new contract," mutters Alan Curbishley. Masochists on Merseyside get their regular fix at a packed Goodison Park where Derby help Everton grind out their sixth goalless home draw of the season. Sunderland suffer their first away defeat, 1-0 at Tranmere, but remain furlongs ahead in the First Division. Fulham now have a two-point lead in the Second after beating Colchester 2-0, while Cardiff go six points clear in the Third. Wins for the top three in Scotland mean Rangers remain three points ahead of Kilmarnock and seven clear of Celtic. A few rungs further down, Graeme Armstrong of Stenhousemuir beats Tommy Hutchison's British appearance record for an outfield player, playing the 864th game of his career against East Stirlingshire.
Monday 28 Red card fever in the Premiership. Patrick Viera is sent off for the fourth time during Arsenal's 1-0 win at Charlton ("I'm very concerned all this could damage his confidence," says Arsène). Dieter Hamann is controversially dismissed at Anfield as Newcastle lose a two-goal lead to go down 4-2 ("A club like Liverpool does not need favours," seethes Ruud). Paulo Wanchope goes during Derby's home win over Wimbledon ("He tried to throw a couple of punches and I was surprised he missed with both," says coach Steve McLaren) and Sheff Wed's Dejan Stefanovic walks at Villa Park where the home side get a late winner that keeps them three points clear. At the bottom Southampton and Forest share a point that does neither much good but Blackburn stretch their unbeaten run since Brian Kidd took over to five matches with a draw at Leicester. In the First Division Sunderland are booed by their own fans as they struggle to see off bottom-placed Crewe 2-0. Second-placed Ipswich are beaten by a late goal and are now only three points ahead of Birmingham, 4-2 winners at Bury. Fulham stretch their lead in the Second Division to three points following defeats of nearest rivals Walsall and Stoke, who lose 2-1 in front of over 30,000 at Man City. "Who knows where we can go from here," says Joe Royle, having a fit of blind optimism. Brentford halve Cardiff's lead in the Third by beating them 1-0 at Griffin Park. Hull stay six points adrift and seemingly Conference-bound after their 17th defeat of the season, 3-2 at Shrewsbury.
Tuesday 29 No change at the top after Chelsea and Man Utd share a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge. As in the first game at Old Trafford, Alex turns puce at the referee's failure to send off a Chelsea defender, this time Frank Leboeuf, for a second bookable offence: "There is a bias towards home teams these days – we are seeing lots of that." "We certainly won't be asking the referee to look at the decision again," says Gianluca, just about keeping a straight face. Leeds miss a chance to go third, being held 2-2 at home by Wimbledon. Michael Oakes will not be suspended for his dismissal at Blackburn after Dermot Gallagher admits to having made a mistake after studying a video replay. "Dermot's a man's man and men admit when they have made a mistake," says John Gregory, beamed in from the 1950s.

Crashes on Missouri roads are not at all uncommon. Car accidents are daily occurrences, and they can change the lives of injured victims in an instant. Unfortunately, in many cases, one driver's negligence may cause a collision that causes life-altering injuries to others. Victims are entitled to seek recovery of damages.
Car accidents: Teenager allegedly causes fatal rear end crash
Whenever a driver has to slow down or stop behind another car that is in the process of making a left turn, he or she may be concerned about the alertness of approaching drivers. Too many Missouri lives are lost in car accidents that are caused by drivers who fail to pay attention to what is going on ahead. One such a crash occurred in Laclede County on a recent Monday afternoon.
Car accidents: Passenger dies when car crashes into ditch
Occupants of vehicles that crash while traveling at high rates of speed are more likely to suffer severe injuries than those who travel at the posted speed limits. Unfortunately, many drivers fail to recognize their responsibility for the safety of the passengers in their vehicles. Too many fatal car accidents are reported in Missouri in which passengers lose their lives while apparent negligent drivers survive.
Fatal motor vehicle accidents: 1 teen dead, 3 injured on Mo. 168
On a recent Saturday evening at about 9:30 p.m., the sheriff's department of Shelby, fire departments, ambulance services and medical rescue helicopters responded to the scene of a tragic accident on Mo. 168. A 15-year-old boy lost his life in the crash. The Missouri State Highway Patrol says this was one of many fatal motor vehicle accidents that have claimed the lives of 22 people in the Troop B area so far this year.

Joel Hirsch and Jo Robinson call for the preservation of an historic building in Walthamstow
Behind a high wall and railings in Walthamstow nestles an architectural gem dating from 1751; Chestnuts House.
Its last use was for adult education, but it now nestles uneasily next to a Tesco petrol station and opposite a Brutalist 1960s telephone exchange in Hoe Street. It can be easily overlooked as you rush by, but since 1951 Historic England has listed it for being of 'special interest'.
To its credit Waltham Forest Council has opened up a consultation and not put it under the auctioneer's hammer straight away. We attended a tour of Chestnuts House and met up alongside other interested parties in October.
The building's faded glory and atmosphere transported us back to its strange historic past as a former women's asylum from the 1930s, and we were told this magnificent house was built by a former rich slave trader of Walthamstow.
However, we are concerned that the bottom line for this building's revival will be profit, at the cost of not fully respecting our heritage and local history. This was reflected in those attending alongside us, who were involved in running craft beer breweries and coffee purveyers, alongside artists' studios. We want to maintain the character of Chestnuts House and avoid flooding the area with trendy pop- ups, which contribute to gentrification.
Public space is also shrinking because of encroaching privatisation, with whole areas disappearing under concrete and glass. The creeping loss of public and commons space is of growing concern.
We must remember it was the local community that saved William Morris Gallery and Higham Hill Library and spawned the reborn Lloyd Park.
We are not against small traders or artists, but frankly we need a public space for community meetings and activities. We should be involved in a more wide-ranging consultation on such an important building as Chestnuts House, so that it can reflect the history of the past and serve the needs of the community today.
Jo would like to hear from anyone interested in campaigning to save Chestnuts House for use by the community:

Vibration is a basic movement form in the nature and the vibration theory has developed for a long time in the macro field of mechanical engineering. The vibration do not appear in daily life or production practice in a singular and passive character that often coexists with nose and impact any longer, on the contrary, with the further research on the application of vibration, it is known, accepted and used by people in a dialectic way and turns the harm into a benefit and brings benefit to the mankind. So it can be predicted that the effective utilization of vibration will increase with the development of scientific research and production practice.
The industrial development in our country is very fast and large-sized mine engineering projects are also increasing, which require more and more large-sized screening machines; and at the same time, the requirement for the efficiency and precision of screening is also constantly increasing. This brings not only a lot of opportunities for the development of screening equipment, but many challenges. For this reason, the automation, large size, high efficiency and energy conservancy of vibrating screen(круглый вибрационный грохот ) equipment has become an important topic in the future research in the vibrating screen equipment industry.
The 2YAC2460 super-heavy vibrating screen researched and developed by Henan Hongxing Mining Machinery Co., Ltd has been gradually promoted in the market. In order to be more suitable for screening large-sized materials and improve the production capacity of the vibrating screen when classifying medium and small-sized materials, this machine is a newly designed screening machine. This series of vibrating screen is mainly used in coal, metallurgy, mining, power generation, building material industry, water conservancy project, light industry and chemical industry, especially suitable for classifying coal, rocks and coke and other bulk materials with high processing quantity and high screening efficiency.

How Triangulation Strengthens Action Research
We see a regular drumbeat of experiences about how significant it is to protect your reputation that is online what folks discover about you online. For students nowadays, the job is definitely difficult. Many find that after a couple of years in faculty, on their own Facebook pages and people of these buddies, as well as a number of sites on the Web, they have designed an "on-line footprint" filled up with occasion pictures and not-thus-becoming images taken of they as well as their friends in a variety of examples of intoxication and all too often, in clothes that might perhaps produce the photos NSFW (Not Protected for Work). Along with the reality of the way the globe works nowadays is the fact that virtually all businesses huge and tiny – will consistently "Bing" you if they are not uninterested in you like a potential worker. And for many available world, photos taken at Mardi Gras which could have seemed like a good plan at the time can have long standing consequences for students along with other adults once they move in for an appointment for a job should they perhaps get that considerably! And it is not only photos as website lists, upset comments, "down together with the " rants unflattering news reports all will come back to bother you inside your career look. What to do? Individuals currently regularly will attempt and quickly "cleanup" their popularity – by shutting down their blogs and trashing embarrassing pictures – a couple of months prior to graduation. Nonetheless, the Internet includes a long ram plus a longtail.
Wipeout the [9] the wok should really not be cold enough for a fall of water [10] saute the greens.
You're probably tagged in countless photos by your " pals " and besides, wiped pictures, blogs, comments everything that is could nevertheless be seen. Thus, what felt just like when looking for a career, a blast on Bourbon Road or in the nearby team at 2 a.muld indeed return to worry you. Within the College of Business at Southeastern Louisiana University, students are having a more positive approach to enhance their " footprint." By writing for newsletter in web based magazines, learners are finding they can change what businesses that are potential notice about them on the net atleast on Google Search results' first page! This can be currently paying real benefits for them inside their jobhunting and beyond. Underneath the leadership of David D. Wyld, who is Management's Robert Maurin Teacher, Southeasterns senior-stage company learners are working hard to become released creators in web-based journals. In only over a year, well over a hundred individuals have observed distribution accomplishment, and in the act, generated many area advantages too. And for its initiatives to advertise student achievement not merely but on the internet as well, the College of Business is getting focus with the assistance of Dean Randy Settoon.
This expression reflects every correspondence inside the alphabet.
It all starts with enhancing the investigation and writing "you start with the conclusion at heart." Dr. Wyld combines writing tasks – having a newsletter as the end goal – for pupils in both Business Technique classes and his Overseas Supervision. Inside the first course, learners research and reveal intercontinental travel/ food and significant management principles. While in the latter course, learners likewise write articles on management principles, while also outlining and researching both recent and common publications running a business and administration. In-all instances, pupils are supplied having a format, allowing them to "color from the quantities" to make a well-organized article, but with space to show their detail of understanding of the product, their power to carryout research and research, and their criticalthinking skills. While having Wyld as being a resource for proofing/editing their works however, it's upto them separately create and produce a highquality post. Once it's identified the students article draft satisfies with the principles for the job that is specific and therefore are of "A" or "W" excellent Wyld subsequently works with online newsletters that are several to place students works in the possible store that is best. From the time students becomes-in a automated content of these post, the path to publication can take from just a couple of times to a few months, depending on if Dr. Wyld has to work with learners on producing updates to react to ideas/concerns in the online journals content staffs.
By beginning early, the pupil is given the true luxury to analyze at their own speed.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You can view compilations of the textbooks created by Dr. Wylds learners in the following sites: Management Ideas () Book Reviews () and Vacation and Worldwide Foods (). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ What have been the results to date? For individuals, having released articles online and for most, it had been their first experience this – hasbeen an exciting task. As Dr. Wyld observed, " Parents nonetheless like viewing their kids function!" Those items are usually shared by students online using family via Facebook mail, and and their friends plus they are encouraged to do this to improve the online rating of their works that are individual. Plus, there's that not-to-be-underestimated adrenaline speed of experiencing a work that you just poured over all day on-end online, having went through an editorial procedure and today, readable all around the globe with the press of a mouse.
Revise article ways to get a man (for gay guys) being homosexual could make relationship feel.
But beyond the novelty issue, the articles have initiated paying incredibly genuine returns for your pupil creators. For starters, the posts continually rank at the top of Google search results, and thus when someone "Googles" the pupil by title, their article(s) published with Dr. Wyld continually position at the very least to the first site of results for them. And much more often than David Green Blogger not, the publication will be the initial piece in Google looks for the individual! As the writing plan has simply been in area for that prior eight weeks, currently pupils are profiting from having a really, very constructive thing come-on Net pursuit of them, in place of unfavorable things (which is valid for employers utilizing any search engine). Furthermore, students should conspicuously listing their guides on their own sites, gives them a very constructive achievement to talk about from their college job and on their resumes. Their journals have been also seen by individuals generate awareness beyond the class as their works struck the Net.
Do say: incorporate fats with a few nutritional value towards the foods you previously consume.
Pupils have distributed their textbooks on their own Facebook pages and personal sites, receiving congratulations and the attention of these buddies and households. Additionally, through Google Alerts' miracle, students that were many have been approached and accented on the attempts – by book writers on their book reviews' quality. For learners, it's been a big enjoyment, for the reason that "important individuals" true experts of primary organization textbooks would take some time to make contact with a college student in Southeast La! Perception that is much more remarkable from Dr. Wylds was one pupil who described that not simply did he be given a supplement that is pleasant from his books author, but basically involved within an email talk. Brad Anderson, who is a Supply Chain Management main at Southeastern, had his book review printed while in the online newsletter, Bizcovering (you will see it here:). Brad and also the John Spence, the author of the book, Awesomely Straightforward: Important Business Strategies for Switching Ideas Into Activity, proceeded to engage in an e-mail talk concerning the students job aspirations and just how far better follow them in these uncertain financial situations. While Spence couldnt direct him into a unique company, Brad greatly liked the highly-sought-after administration advisor calling among our students' time.
Through adamis crime "several" (the whole human race) were made sinners.
In the long run, this new and fresh tactic has been a great accomplishment for all. For individuals and teacher alike, it has helped the thing that was previously maintained-out inside the four-walls of the classroom and online in a walled-off environment for your program to be performed online, producing a great opportunity for pupil accomplishments to become produced and distributed worldwide. And really importantly from the standpoint of Wyld, the students attempt -level on these jobs has been raised dramatically since "increasing the clubhouse" and challenging pupils to write their works online. With that purpose in your mind, Dr. Wyld has discovered that pupils have obviously enhanced their publishing skills and fit significantly larger efforts to their type projects knowing that their works could be shared with a global crowd online, instead of simply with thirty to forty fellow individuals within their quick classroom. Therefore, Dr. Wyld would desire instructors that are all and any in and outside Universities of Company to get hold of him to view how they too may become facilitators of their book initiatives that is students for the good thing about all.

NPR's Terry Gross ("Fresh Air") interrogated Ms. Hillary on air concerning her views on gay marriage (audio below). Has she always supported it? Has she ever suppressed her views in deference to public opinion? Would she say her view has "evolved"? (Answer: "I think I'm an American. I think we all have evolved…")
Gross notes Ms. Hillary's evasions and persists in her efforts to extract an answer. She even seems to get one, though not before Ms. Hillary works in a shot at those who "believe they have a direct line to the divine." Ms. Hillary, of course, states her views with a flexibility suggesting her good nature and her modesty.
Just when I think Gross has extracted an answer, however, it seems to slip away. By the end I'm not so sure. Of this much I am sure: the woman can talk.
Daniel Halper has posted a transcript here, but don't miss the audio.

The Charlatans – Melting Pot. Vinyl Album.
Early 1991, I'm 19 years old wearing Joe Bloggs jeans, Kickers and a Champion hoody, my hair is below my ears and parted in the centre, 6'8″ and in those days, stick thin.. I must have looked a complete pillock! On the upside I wasn't alone. I was in uniform, along with a few hundred other Indie kids filing into the Top Rank Suite on Brighton Seafront to see the Charlatans. Waving our arms around to euphoric Indie rock with a couple of beers was nice change from waving our arms around to A Guy Called Gerald, amazing the energy we all had back then. In those days a Charlatans gig would be considered a relatively quiet night! Compared to 12 hours raving in a field off the M25 I suppose it still would be now.. These days I need a rest after seeing a pub band down our local.. Thankfully the Charlatan's music has aged a lot better than me.
Tim Burgess lopped onto the stage with his big mop of hair, bowl cut (as it remains, but not blonde as it is now), no parting (such a rebel) and the band fired into The Only One, just as this album kicks off. The Stone Roses hadn't even been thought of then, this was perhaps ahead of its time, and listening tonight it's actually stood the test of time almost as well as the band has.
This vinyl "best of compilation from 2002 is a wonderful trip down memory lane, this pressing is revealing layers and textures in "Then" that I couldn't hear then. Reason 1: My Sanyo all in one system in my bedroom had a penny blue-tacked to the "needle" and it sounded dreadful. Reason 2) Some Friendly (their first album) wasn't as nicely mastered as this compilation, it's a real treat in fact. I still have my copy of Some friendly, in it's limited edition white plastic sleeve. Sadly there's not much left of the vinyl inside, for the above mentioned reasons coupled with the fact it was so often played.
Track six now and Weirdo's bass line bounces along, while the Hammond Organ defines the background and to some extent the band.. Burgess's slightly nasal "Manc" whine sets the tone perfectly, and for many defined the whole genre. This song is such a treat to be heard on a proper system. I'd not given much thought to how this kind of music would be enhanced by a decent pressing on a good Hi-Fi, it's so nice to have some old favourites demanding turntable time.
The mix includes the Chemical Brother's mix of Patrol, which is a Dub heavy mix, and spoils the atmosphere a touch to be honest. It's not as well mastered as the rest of the album. However, think of it as Cindy Crawford's mole and you'll remain happy. Especially as it's followed by the wonderful pop song Can't get out of bed, which acts as a happy-go-lucky foil to what just went.
All of the tracks on Melting Pot (named after the Cafe shown on the cover) are from The Charlatans time with Beggars Banquet records (1990 to 1997), so it's not a definitive collection by any means. However, it's making for a wonderful snapshot of my twenties. Anyone that was a fan back then, or is a fan now and wants to re-discover their early years owes it to themselves to have this in their collection.

The 180 Days in Salt Lake Program (Program 180) provides an innovative approach to teacher preparation in the state of Utah. The program promotes excellence throughout Westminster College's efforts to prepare high-quality teacher candidates and address the current teacher shortage.
Dr. Heather firstname.lastname@example.com
"We constantly hear that your first year of teaching is the hardest. I feel like I will have completed that first year but without the isolation and fear of the unknown that many experience; I had the support of my professors, my cohort, and mentor teachers. I wasn't struggling on my own, instead I was able to find my footing with unlimited support and help. It was the quickest, most wonderful 180 days I have experienced."
—Mikaele Shields, Program 180 Student
"Program 180 provided me with in-depth experience in teaching. Twelve weeks of student teaching could never have provided the same challenge, reward, and relationships that I have had the opportunity to experience over the past year. While Program 180 is challenging, I have no doubt that I am more prepared than ever to enter my own classroom next year."
—Morgan Lami, Program 180 Student
"Westminster's Program 180 is an incredibly valuable opportunity for prospective teachers. From the very first day of the school year, interns are present in the classroom, and students are getting to know them and their teachers simultaneously. As the year progresses and the interns take over the classes, the presence and authority is already established, and the transition goes much more smoothly. The relationships that the interns and students are able to develop are more genuine and lasting, and interns are able to have a much more authentic teaching experience, making them better prepared to enter the education field as teachers."
—Heather Wihongi, Mentor, Riverview Junior High
