Study Higher is one of 29 groups that form the National Collaborative Outreach Programme (NCOP). Each group is made up of universities, schools, colleges and other organisations (such as employers and charities) in a specific region of England. Funded by the OfS (Office for Students) the key aim of the programme is to support the most disadvantaged young people in England to progress into Higher Education (HE).
The NCOPs aim to run until July 2021 and more information along with a list and map of groups can be found on the OfS website:-
Study Higher is based at Oxford Brookes University (OBU), and OBU will be the Data Controller of any personal data that you supply. This means that they will make the decisions on how your data is used and for what reasons. You can contact OBU's Information Management Team on 01865 485420 or email email@example.com.
Study Higher is undertaking and helping to deliver a wide range of outreach activity in schools, colleges and through community groups, to help young people better understand their future educational and employment choices so they can make an informed, and the best, decision for themselves.
For example, this may mean that Study Higher staff members come to your school and facilitate a study skills workshop, or you may be invited to participate in a mentoring programme, or given information about other activities and events like summer schools and open days.
As well as working directly with students and young people, Study Higher will also be working with teachers, parents, and relevant people (for example, careers advisors and community leaders). In the case of parents/carers we may ask you for contact information so we can send you relevant information and we will ask for your child/childrens details, such as name and date of birth, so we can monitor if they take part in one of our activities.
The aim of Study Higher is to support young people to progress into HE and /or make the best individual decisions about what to do when leaving school. To know whether we are meeting this aim we need to collect information about you when you take part in our activities and events so that we can find out what you do next and in your future employment and educational outcomes to see if we've helped.
A number of national organisations also routinely collect data about young people, such as the Department for Education, UCAS, and the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). We will be using such sources of data to track and look up your educational and employment outcomes in the future. To be able to do that we need some of your personal information for those organisations to be able to find and match student records. For example, we need your name and date of birth so that we know we have the right person's record.
OBUs legal basis for collecting this data is:
If OBU asks you for sensitive data such as; racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, data concerning health, OBU will use these data because:
As part of our on-line forms and on-line registrations we would like to collect a range of demographic and personal sensitive data about you. This includes things such as:
If you do not give consent but give personal details and responses to survey questions we will use these responses, but they will be stored anonymously, meaning we will remove any information that could identify you but keep responses to question about our activities that will help us to monitor and evaluate their impact.
If you provide consent for us to use your image or to participate in video footage:
Your image may be used as outlined in the consent form which you have signed and for no other purpose.
The personal data that we ask you for, such as name, date of birth, and your home postcode, we will use to link your information to data held in national datasets so that we can see whether our activities have an effect upon your later educational and employment outcomes. As part of our evaluation, and the wider NCOP evaluation, your data may be shared with:
CFE research as the national evaluator of the NCOPs may contact you to ask further questions about the activities you participated in and your attitudes towards higher education etc., either by sending you a link to an online survey or asking you to participate in a focus group or interview.
We will regularly produce summary reports for all our partners and funders who we are working with and we may share some of these on our website, but this data will be anonymised, meaning we won't include your name or anything that could identify you as an individual. Sometimes we may use a quote, taken from any written feedback you provide in surveys etc., but we will not include your name and will remove any details that may identify you.
Will OBU transfer my data outside of the UK?
What rights do I have regarding my personal data that OBU holds?
Are there any consequences of not providing the requested data?
No. There are no consequences to you not providing data or with asking for your data to be deleted or changed in the future.
Will there be any automated decision making using my data?
How long will OBU keep your data?
NCOP and the Study Higher programme are anticipated to finish in July 2021.
Study Higher is using the Higher Education Access Tracker (HEAT) to help us link to large administrative datasets, and our partner universities also use this system (Oxford Brookes University, University of Oxford, Buckinghamshire New University, and University of Reading). Once the Study Higher programme is complete each of our partner universities will retain a copy of your data in HEAT so they can continue to follow your progress when the project ends. For more information about HEAT and how it uses your data please go to: www.heat.ac.uk
Any other data that has been supplied to Study Higher will be securely deleted/destroyed at the end of the programme.
Who can I contact if I have concerns?
You can contact the Information Management team.

Trade Marks
South Africa is a member of the Paris Convention and the WTO/TRIPS. South Africa is expected to accede to the Madrid Protocol within the near future.
The Act provides for the registration of trade marks in respect of goods and services. It is important to note that registration of a trade mark does not necessarily confer an absolute right to use the mark. Prior rights, recognised by law, to a mark may have been secured in ways other than by registration, eg by use.
The protection afforded by a trade mark registration extends to the use of an identical mark or a mark so nearly resembling it as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion, in relation to identical goods or services, or goods or services which are so similar that a likelihood of deception or confusion exists.
South Africa is a member of the Paris Convention, the Budapest Treaty, the PCT and the WTO/TRIPS.
Patent protection is obtainable by way of a national filing, or via a PCT filing. A national filing can be in the form of a provisional application or a complete application, and the complete application can be a non-convention or a convention application.
A patent confers on the patentee for the duration of the patent (ie as long as it is maintained in force by the payment of renewal fees), the right to exclude all other persons in South Africa from making, using, exercising, disposing of or offering to dispose of, or importing the patented invention, so that the patentee shall have and enjoy the whole profit and advantage accruing by reason of the invention.
The sale in South Africa of a patented article by or on behalf of the patentee gives the purchaser the right to use and dispose of that article.
South Africa is a member of the Paris Convention and the WTO/TRIPS. It is expected to accede to the Hague Agreement in the near future.
Design protection is obtained by the filing of an application for the registration of a design.
The effect of a design registration is to grant to the registered proprietor the right, for the duration of the registration, to exclude other persons from making, importing, using or disposing of any article included in the class in which the design is registered and embodying the registered design, or a design not substantially different therefrom, so that the registered proprietor shall have and enjoy the whole profit and advantage accruing by reason of the registration.
The disposing (in South Africa) of an article embodying a registered design by or on behalf of the registered proprietor gives the purchaser the right to use and dispose of that article.
South Africa is a member of the Berne Convention and the WTO/TRIPS.
The following works, if they are original, are eligible for copyright:
- literary works
- musical works
- artistic works
- cinematograph films
- sound recordings
- broadcasts
- programme-carrying signals
- published editions
- computer programs.
A work (except a broadcast or programme-carrying signal) is not eligible for copyright unless it has been written down, recorded, represented in digital data or signals, or otherwise reduced to material form.
The requirement of originality has been interpreted by the courts to mean that the author must have expended creative effort, labour and skill in creating the work.
Plant Breeders' Rights
South Africa is a member of the UPOV Convention for the Protection of new Varieties of Plants, and the WTO/TRIPS.
Protection by way of a plant breeder's right may be obtained in respect of new varieties of certain 'kinds of plants' by filing an application for registration (see the section on Application below) under the Plant Breeders' Rights Act.
The effect of the protection is that prior authority must be obtained from the holder of the right by way of a licence, by any person intending to undertake any of the acts set out below, in respect of propagating material of the protected variety, or harvested material (including plants) obtained through the unauthorised use of propagating material of the protected variety, namely:
- production or reproduction (multiplication)
- conditioning for the purpose of propagation
- sale or any form of marketing
- exporting
- importing
- stocking for any of the above purposes.
In addition to the protected variety, the protection is extended to –
- essentially derived varieties of the protected variety
- varieties which are not distinguishable from a protected variety
- varieties the production of which requires the repeated use of the protected variety.
The protection may also be extended by notice in the Government Gazette to products made directly from harvested material of a protected variety.

King Street Lofts
Near the junction of three popular NE Portland neighborhoods. —King, Alberta, and Boise—King Street Lofts offer modern studio and one-bedroom units to young professionals who want to live at a cultural crossroads without sacrificing comfort. At five stories and with 36 units, this mixed-use development assimilates into the existing neighborhood fabric and provides convenient access to public transportation, main thoroughfares, and the Williams bike corridor.
The ground floor retail space features large sliding wooden doors that open the retail space up to street level during warm months, further activating the street and sidewalks. A rich mahogany storefront and mahogany entries create a clean, upscale feel. Metal and concrete panels on the façade add visual texture to the form of the building, and a large overhang divides the retail and residential components. Individual masses are created by framing sets of floor-to-ceiling windows with smooth metal. This project has recently been completed.

The other day I decided that I needed to try to put some of my social media use on hold for awhile. The reason is I have several web projects I need to work on and it is quite time consuming to have to monitor social networks across many different platforms. Not using social media at all though… well it's quite hard to do.
First I started with LinkedIn and wanted to see if I could deactivate my account for awhile. Technically you can't deactivate an account but you can set your account so that nobody can see it. This is basically the same thing as deactivating your account I guess since what good is a social media profile nobody can see? Anyway after I did that I moved onto Twitter.
Weighing the options of temporarily deactivating my Twitter account I realized it probably wasn't possible for me to actually stop using Twitter. I have auto posting setup for @AdamYamada and some other accounts which is kinda nice. Besides like LinkedIn it seems the only way to deactivate an account is to just set your profile to private. Of course the big difference here is that anyone that is following you can still see your Tweets and profile information. Sooo for now my Twitter accounts are intact but at least I uninstalled TweetDeck from Google Chrome. While TweetDeck is a great social media tool it can be hard to manage the Twitterverse.
Then I moved onto Facebook the biggest and baddest social networks around. Facebook at least has the option to keep your information intact but deactivate your account temporarily. It's nice keeping up with all your friends but let's be honest… Facebook is a blackhole. It sucks away all your productive time and you can never really get that time back.
I thought deactivating my Facebook account would be easy… ahhh I was wrong. I have several apps connected to my personal account and no other contributors. You can't deactivate the account and keep the Apps active without switching having an Administrator for the Apps that has a verified account. That means to deactivate the account I might need to get a prepaid phone to use with a dummy account or just ask someone to transfer use the apps.
Then came all the social bookmarking sites I have used. Damn, I've used a lot and a lot of them I never really understood or generated much traffic for me. This includes Reddit, Delicious, Tumblr, and more. Is it even worth time to delete those accounts?
So my goal of not using social media was a bit harder than I imagined it would be. It is all to easy to sign-up for these services but all too hard to truly leave. It is not in the best interest of the Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. if you stop using their services.
Even though all these social networks can be quite useful used in the right way a lot of people try to contact me through it instead of just sending me an email. I am just not really a fan of that as it takes a whole lot of time for me to direct message rather than just use my email. I guess that's old school but hey, I still get emails from Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.
Bottom line not using social media at all nowadays is damn hard these days. I wish it was possible to click a few buttons to just take a break but that ain't possible my friends.
Have a similar story of trying to disconnect temporarily or permanently from social networking? Please share your story in the comments below. I'd be curios to hear stories and I know others would as well.

Hi Everyone,
For many years, I had blog with a different blog provider that featured written techniques with photos. I plan to move many of these old step-by-step techniques and posts here to this forum so you can find them easily before I cancel my old blog.
Although many of the products you will see in these posts are either non- Gina K. Designs products or possibly retired products, you can adapt other products in their place to create similar projects.
I hope you enjoy these little blasts from the past.

Officials have identified and released a picture of one of the two men accused of setting a cat on fire.
Police say Tyrique Hall and another man set the cat on fire last Sunday in the Olney section of the city. A woman told officials she spotted the cat on fire running down 3rd Street towards Wellens Avenue around 9:25 a.m. on Sunday. The woman also claimed she spotted two men at the intersection and heard one of the men say, "I put a lot of fluid on it."
The cat, named Campbell, was found at Wellens Avenue. He suffered from severe burns and is being treated at the PSPCA shelter hospital. Officials say it will take time for him to fully recover.

"It appears that this cat was probably burned over 60 to 75 percent of his body," said George Bengal of the PSPCA.
Officials notified Campbell's owner, Madelyn Rivera, who said the adopted cat ran away from her home during the late summer. Rivera had the cat microchipped which is how officials were able to identify her as the owner.
Rivera was thrilled when the SPCA told her they had found him on Sunday. But her joy quickly turned to horror when they told her what happened.
"I'm hearing, 'Hey, we found Campbell,'" Rivera said. "I'm like, 'Oh, great!' And then it was bad news. What would possess someone to go and light a cat on fire?"
Investigators say surveillance video from a store near where Campbell was found captured Hall and his accomplice.
SPCA officers secured an arrest warrant for Hall. He is described as a 6-foot-3 black male weighing 200 pounds. His last known address is 5204 N. 3rd Street. Investigators believe he is wearing a dark-colored jacket, dark-colored workout pants with a white stripe and red sneakers.
Investigators also say they identified the second suspect and are working towards an arrest. They have not yet released his picture and description however.
If you have any information on the identity of the suspects, please call the Pennsylvania SPCA Humane Law Enforcement team at 866-601-SPCA. The PSPCA is offering a $500 reward for tips leading to Hall's arrest. Rivera, meanwhile, has a message for the culprits.
"I really do hope they catch you," Rivera said. "Only for the simple fact that it's not funny to do what you did to that cat. It really isn't. Even if it's not my cat, it's an animal. It's a living being!"

If you're a Garance Doré follower, you know that her relationship to her hair is a tumultuous one. After years of whipping her naturally curly locks into top knots, the fashion blogger decided to get a bob — and then turned to the curl-taming powers of keratin treatments, documenting the process (and her many follicle-related feelings) along the way.
Now, Doré has taken her quest for good hair to the next level with a crazy-chic, long-on-top pixie. In true form, the blogger documented her journey to short hair on her website, complete with an adorable video that demonstrates just how much she loves the finished look. While short cuts might not be for everyone, we have to say that Doré looks so gosh-darn cute that we're finding ourselves considering the big chop once again — to cut or not to cut? (Garance Doré)

DEL MAR — With the 2011 session under way, state Sen. Kristine Kehoe introduced new legislation Dec. 6 authorizing the sale of the Del Mar Fairgrounds to the city of Del Mar.
Senate Bill 1 replaces Assembly Bill 181, which was introduced by Assemblywoman Lori Saldaña in October and pulled almost immediately. It expired Nov. 30 when the 2010 session ended.
If all goes according to the regular legislative process, AB 1 can be acted on any time after Jan. 6, once committee members are appointed. That usually happens in the middle of the month.
The bill will then be assigned to a committee or committees for a first hearing, during which testimony can be presented.
"During this process … it's helpful for people to write letters of support," Councilman Carl Hilliard said during the Dec. 13 City Council meeting.
The bill can be amended once or several times and will then be passed, which takes a majority vote of the full committee, or defeated.
If SB 1 passes through the committee, it will be heard twice in the Senate. During the third reading, Kehoe will explain the bill. It will be discussed and a roll-call vote will follow. SB 1 needs 21 votes to pass.
If it is defeated, Kehoe can ask for reconsideration and another vote. If the bill passes the Senate, it must go through the same process in the Assembly, where 41 votes will be required for passage.
Once both houses approve the bill it goes to the governor for a signature or veto. If he chooses to do nothing, it becomes law and the sale is authorized.
Hilliard described SB 1 as "pretty generic," saying the previous bill was "much more specific as to the details of the transaction."
"But Gov. Schwarzenegger, we're told, wanted to have a vanilla bill and that's what's there," he said.
The $120 million purchase price, the appraised value, remains the same. Assemblyman Martin Garrick, in whose district the facility is located, said he believes the price is too low because it is based solely on revenues from the fair and horse races and not the 300-plus other events held there.
Some say given the coastal location and nearby wetlands, the site could be worth up to $1 billion. Others claim the price is fair because the site can't be developed due to the wetlands.
SB 1 does not rule out a public bidding process.
"The sale … may be pursuant to a public bidding process designed to obtain the highest, most certain return for the state from a responsible bidder, and any transaction based on such a bidding process shall be deemed to be the fair market value for the property, or may be a negotiated sale to the City of Del Mar," the bill states.
Unlike AB 181, SB 1 doesn't include language requiring Del Mar to continue the San Diego County Fair and horse racing, however, city officials have said there are no plans to change those previous requirements.
Del Mar received a letter of support from the Thoroughbred Owners of California, considered a "very influential" group within the horse racing industry, Hilliard said.
"These letters are not easy to get," he said. "We hear that there will also be a similar endorsement … coming from the Thoroughbred Trainers Association."
The mayors of San Diego, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, El Cajon, San Marcos and Lemon Grove, county Supervisor Pam Slater-Price and groups such as the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, San Diego Coastkeeper and Surfrider Foundation have also submitted support letters.
Del Mar is still working to get a similar endorsement from Solana Beach. Council members in that adjacent jurisdiction said they are hesitant to support the sale without some guarantees they would be more involved in solving ongoing problems with noise, traffic, parking and public safety reimbursement.
On Dec. 2, Solana Beach council members unanimously adopted a resolution of intention stating, among other things, that the city would like to partner with Del Mar on the purchase and have equal representation on the governing board.
While Del Mar officials said they are open to equal representation, they have not expressed support for shared ownership.
"I really have trouble conceiving how dual ownership … would actually work," Councilman Don Mosier said during a meeting last month. "I think having Solana Beach own part of the fairgrounds is a nonstarter."
"I don't see how we can possibly accommodate their request for shared ownership and partnership," Hilliard said.
Given the legislative process, Hilliard said the earliest they expect action on the bill is late January or early February in a best-case scenario.
Fairgrounds sale: update, what's next?
DEL MAR — With the 2011 session under way, state Sen. Kristine Kehoe introduced new legislation Dec. 6 authorizing the sale of the Del Mar Fairgrounds to the city of Del Mar.

Yestermorrow's Regenerative Design Certificate program, led by Joel Glanzberg (www.patternmind.org), expanded my sense of possibility and hope. It drew connections between my interests in design, building, community, and process, it provided practical ideas for application, and offered examples of projects done by individuals with deep senses of integrity, justice, and harmony. The course honed my project plans by helping me to let go of some of the questions I arrived with, "How can a building be regenerative? How can my project be regenerative?" replacing these with understandings.
One of the most valuable of these understandings is that humans have a role in nature: we are naturally disturbers. The world is in need of healthy disturbance, and nature actually needs us to remember our role. Currently, we disturb in a destructive way. We can, however, learn from the past and disturb more symbiotically, with attentiveness to what needs to be burned, harvested, repaired, etc. If we cease to produce "for the sake of producing," and begin to create what is essential, what is of lasting value, we will begin to heal many rifts.
Ultimately there isn't a "regenerative building." Rather, a building is regenerative if it is designed in relationship to its context and the values of its inhabitants, and in a way that allows it to evolve with changing needs. This kind of design makes a building essential to those who dwell in it. If it essential, it will be maintained, cared for, and will adapt beyond the lifespan of a "sustainably designed" building that is simply an idea projected into the world.
"Sustainability is a floor we can all stand on, not the ceiling that we are reaching towards."
Tools and Frameworks:
There were several tools and frameworks we were given in class that I will carry with me indefinitely, and hope to continue building upon. These frameworks were developed by Joel Glanzberg and his associates at Regenesis Group, specialists in living systems, place-baced planning, design, development, and education.
Nested Wholes:
"Whenever I draw a circle, I immediately want to step out of it." -- Buckminster Fuller.
In thinking about a project it is tempting to list, pie chart, and struggle to define an area of working. However, life is more dynamic and multi-dimensional than this, and nothing quite fits into these boxes. Often when working on a project, I get stuck trying to understand its scope. How much context does the project need to respond to? My vision for sustainability? The needs of the neighborhood? My watershed? Addressing systematic oppression? This was a good way for me to feel jumbled, discouraged, and lost. In reality, everything exists within nested wholes. Imagine an internal circle, another which surrounds this, and yet another surrounding this. There may be are several versions of these wholes for any given project, they remind us of the importance of context and perspective.
|Used courtesy of Regenesis Group
Will, Being, & Function: This relates to the "nested wholes" framework. We used the nested wholes of "will, being, and function" (or "why, how, what") to write purpose statements and understand the deeper values behind our projects. The important part is that at the center of each project or purpose statement is the "will" -- what we really want to accomplish and why. What we really want to end up
|Used courtesy of Regenesis Group
The Task Cycle: Task cycles allow us to lay out the process that will ultimately lead to the successful completion of a project or goal, whether it be making fire from sticks, organizing a party, or starting a business. A few of my "take-homes" from the task cycle include:
|Used courtesy of Regenesis Group
- The value of restraints: restraints are things that we come up against when trying to do a project. Restraints also exist in nature. The wolf's hunting patterns are restraint to the deer; the deer's grazing is a restraint to the mountain's vegetation. Without restraints, everything would be out of balance. At times they are helpful. At times I am my own restraint. Rather than making value judgments, we need to value and understand both restraining and activating forces in order to do a project well.
- The importance of reconciling rather than compromising: oftentimes there is a temptation to compromise, call it "good," and move on! Yet compromising is usually win-lose, or even a lose-lose situation. The wolf and the deer do not "compromise" as predator and prey, they simply embody their roles and keep things in balance. To move towards regeneration we need to examine our context and restraints, forming a design that reconciles, harmonizes, and allows for evolution of life.
- Process-oriented design: It is
tempting to design a product, gather what is needed to make it, and then make
it. As mentioned above, in regenerative design, we begin with a purpose rather
than a product, we consider the context/place, and then figure out what to make
and how to make it.
Personal Impact:
It is difficult to measure how this has honed my particular project (a sustainable renovation & community house in a rough urban setting). I began this class with a Holy fear of doing any project here at all. I'm sensitive to the importance of context and have seen some questionable examples of projects imposed on urban neighborhoods, so I hoped the class would teach me a "right" way to design. Instead it helped me to ask some important questions and reach some valuable conclusions. As a result, at this point, I'm less attached to doing "my project" than I was when I initially arrived at Yestermorrow. This is because my time there has shown me a bigger picture and given me more perspective. There are land trusts, Living Buildings, urban farms, community development and education groups, co-housing experiments, and more. Everything is connected, and for years a whole field has been emerging that is beginning to manifest in every sector of society.
During class, we examined "the difference that makes a difference." This difference is the small thing we can change that will have the greatest effect on everything else. For me, this difference is continuing to trust and take one step at a time along the path as it unfolds. If I use the tools and hope I've received to work towards creating healthier wholes in any sector, space will be made to work towards justice and restoration.

Offset Analyst: Drilling Research & Well Planning Software
When you're planning to drill a well, research is a critical step. If you use drilling tour reports as part of your offset research, you know there is plenty of data available. The challenge lies in collecting and summarizing the information in a timely, efficient manner.
Offset Analyst is a web-based software application that eliminates inefficiencies and minimizes the cost associated with tour research. Traditionally, PDF documents of well tours were requested and then manually re-entered for comparison. Now, powered by XI's Drilling Database, Offset Analyst offers nearly 200,000 digitized well records accessible at the click of a button.
With Offset Analyst, you can:
Digital Well Tour Data
If you use drilling tour sheets, Offset Analyst will significantly cut the time and cost of your drilling research. Offset Analyst is critical for:
- Drilling Research and Well Planning
- Benchmarking and Performance Assessment
- Competitive Analysis
- Budgeting
- Look-backs and Reviews
Offset Analyst provides a high-level snapshot of a well, everything from bit records, mud records and time log summaries, to drill curves and well comparisons. Within Offset Analyst, all the data that was captured at the well site is immediately accessible and summarized in digital form.
Clients can view well tour data from over 90 operators in the WCSB. The application is designed for small operators, large producers and service companies – anyone who works with tour sheets and needs to save time.
The Power of TourXchange
Members of the TourXchange can access digital well tour information for almost half the wells drilled in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin since 2004. Compare well tour information from over 90 operators, including data from Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
If a well isn't available, you can still view a PDF or request a digital copy be sent to you. Eliminate time spent sourcing information, scanning PDFs or manual data entry. Offset Analyst is your single source solution for drilling research and well planning.
"Using Offset Analyst, we immediately pulled a comparison well and decided against tripping the bit.
I estimate that decision saved us 1 or 2 days and at least $80-90K, thanks to immediate access to offset drilling records. This is a very useful tool."
"Offset Analyst compiles data from all over the WCSB – that's a lot of valuable information. We know having access to data is important, but the interpretation of that data is crucial.
With Offset Analyst, we could use our expertise to evaluate and interpret the data to get the answers our customers need."
"Offset Analyst is a one-stop-shop for all your drilling research needs. You can easily search, view, and order reports all from the same website, and when you can't find what you need, their support team is always there to help you!

Carl Crawford is a good teammate. And like so many of his Red Sox teammates, he's found an excuse for his lackluster performance in 2011. Instead of taking responsibility for his lack of success, or maybe looking forward to the opportunities that 2012 presented, Crawford made excuses for why he sucked so badly in 2011.
It was the batting order. He wasn't used to batting in the bottom third of the order, and that somehow affected his swing.
You know what, this is baseball. Hitting is something between the batter and the pitcher. The baseball batter picks up his baseball bat, then steps into the baseball batter's box, and tries to hit the baseball thrown by the pitcher. Does it matter that some lineup card taped to the wall of the dugout has you listed as #2 or #7?
Step up to the plate and try to hit the ball!
This is a team of excuse makers. Everybody has an answer for everything. Even the owners blamed Francona. Crawford is just being one of the guys, one of the team.
If Crawford hits .300 in April and the Sox win, then nobody will care about what's been said in this offseason. But right now, before the Sox have even played an exhibition game in 2011, the Sox are still vomiting excuses all over the place. And it's sickening.
Could you imagine a hockey player publicly whining about being on the 3rd line and not the 2nd line? How about a football player moaning about being on special teams?
But baseball is a game conducive to whining and complaints. And if that was what won games, the Red Sox would be World Champions.

Austin has been honored on yet another national list this week, having been named the #1 city on Forbes' latest list of "Best Bargain Cities".
I took a close look at the data they used in calculating the top rankings. As always, they analyzed the 50 largest U.S. metro statistical areas for the study. Here are the primary data points used:
- Average salary for workers with a bachelor's degree or higher (from PayScale.com)
- Annual unemployment statistics (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
- Cost of living (Moody's Economy.com)
- Housing Opportunity Index (from NAHB & Wells Fargo) - measures affordability at median income
Not surprisingly, Austin earned high marks across the board.
The article cites the fact that Austin has three big marks in its favor:
- University town
- State capital
- Technology center
With those factors alone, Austin maintains a very healthy economy, bucking the national trend. As I have often mentioned to my clients, there was never a real estate bubble here to pop in the first place, because prices increased at moderate levels during the biggest growth years. Part of this stems from the fact that there is still ample land for development in almost every direction outside the city.
Austin ranked #3 for the cost of living index provided in the article, and we also boast the very lowest unemployment rate among the cities included in the study. Rounding out the top five "best bargains" were Phoenix, Washington DC, Fort Worth, and Cincinnati/Indianapolis (tied for fifth).
Since 1997, I have specialized in helping home buyers who are relocating to the general Austin area. If you are looking to make a move in our direction, or if you need more information, please feel free to contact me anytime. I would love the chance to help. I can be reached anytime at 512-796-7653 (cell) or by email at email@example.com.

One of the troubles with this mobile computing world of ours is that having our data files by our sides at all times increases the risk of data loss and unwanted exposure. You've probably heard about the careless company executive that had his laptop PC stolen and then found out later that sensitive company data was contained on the system, including credit card numbers, financial account, information, company network passwords and so on.
I think many of us – not just this executive who's probably looking for a new job right about now – keep sensitive files on our laptop PCs, particularly if we don't use desktop systems anymore. I know I do.
Take Internet account passwords for example. Unless you use one password for everything – a really bad idea – or you have a great memory, you probably put those passwords in a spreadsheet or other kind of file for easy access and reference. Or maybe you are running off to your tax accountant with all sorts receipts that contain your bank account information and credit card numbers. In either case, I'll show you how to use Trend Micro™ Titanium™ Maximum Security's Vault feature to keep the data you store on your computer safe and sound.
Creating a Vault
Creating a Vault is a breeze. Just open your Titanium console using your administrative password. Next click on the Data icon. Then click on the Trend Micro Vault button as shown below.
Titanium will display a screen that indicates what happens when you want to access your vault or what you can do if you lose your computer. It appears as follows:
This screen will be shown every time you go into the Trend Micro Vault area. You can prevent the display by clicking in the Don't show this introduction again checkbox.
When you click on the OK button, you'll be prompted to enter an email address and another password. This one is different than the one you use to open the Titanium console. These are the credentials you'll use to report that your laptop was stolen, if and when that happens. More on that later. The password you set here will be the one you use to open your vault to access files that are stored there.
After creating your vault credentials, the Trend Micro Vault screen will be displayed.
Click on the switch under the safe icon to turn on your vault. Then click the OK button.
You'll see an icon appear on your windows desktop that says Trend Micro Vault. This is your vault, the folder where you can securely store any files, sensitive or otherwise. To open your vault, double click on the icon, then enter the password you specified when you created your it. While your vault is open, you can drag and drop files to and from the folder. Make sure you close the vault folder when you are done with it, in case anyone tries to access your vault while you are away from your computer.
Reporting and Regaining Control of a Lost System
Before closing Titanium, click on the link under Reporting a Loss and bookmark the web page to where you are sent. If you ever lose your computer, you can go to this web page and enter your Trend Micro Vault account credentials – the email address and password you entered when you created the vault – to lock the vault. It can't be opened by anyone, even if that person knows the vault password.
When your lost system is found and back in your possession, go to the Trend Micro Vault screen then click on the unseal the Trend Micro Vault link. You'll be taken to a page where you enter your vault email address and password to unlock the vault. Then I highly recommend you change your vault password by clicking on the change your password link. Then enter a new password and optionally a new email address for you vault.
Now Your Sensitive Files are Safe and Sound
As you can see, Trend Micro Vault is a very handy and easy-to-use way to secure any files you carry with you on your laptop PCs or to prevent people from prying into your private data at home on your desktop PC, for that matter. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did.
I work for Trend Micro and the opinions expressed here are my own.

When I first went sat down with her I felt so nervous, but within minutes I felt comfortable because Farah was so easy to get along with. I only did a one day course as I had knowledge in henna, but Farrah explained everything I found difficult. She showed me different techniques to use when decorating candles etc. She also spoke to me about the business side of it all, she helped me to get a better idea of how to get myself 'out there.'
My day with Farrah went really well, I felt like I learned a lot and gained a lot of confidence.
I would definitely recommend the course to whoever wanted to learn about henna"

BAKED Sunday Mornings: Malted Crisp Tart
This week's BAKED: Sunday Mornings recipe was Malted Crisp Tart. It's a fairly standard tart dough, with the addition of malted milk powder, a layer of milk chocolate ganache (again with some malted milk powder) with caramelized rice cereal and crushed Whoppers, finished with a layer of cornstarch-thickened, malted milk flavored, and whipped cream lightened pudding.
I made this yesterday and brought it to a friend's house. I didn't manage any pictures, but there are still a few pieces left, so maybe a shot later.
I was a little skeptical about this dessert: I've never been a fan of "malt" in my milkshakes or of Whoppers, so I wasn't sure about in multiple components of this tart. Once it started coming together, I got excited – the crunchy crispies, crunchy crushed Whoppers, chocolate ganache, and cream! Yum! But…I assembled the tart right before we left, and it refrigerated for about two hours while we ate dinner. The crunchy bits weren't crunchy anymore – kind of soggy. So, while I liked the overall flavor of the dessert, it left something to be desired in the texture department. More like chocolate ganache tart with some chewy stuff in it, vs the crunchy candy bar dessert I thought I'd end up with.
So I'm not sure I'd make it again. It wasn't hard, and I might mess around with the idea…someday.
7 Responses to "BAKED Sunday Mornings: Malted Crisp Tart"
So your crispies got soggy in the fridge, huh? Mine were soggy too, but I figured that was just because I never got them completely crunchy on the stove. It makes me feel a bit better to know that the fridge would have just softened them, anyway.
So glad you enjoyed it – I love malt! Strange about the soggy krispies…. perhaps they weren't caramelized all the way – who knows, but it's a beautiful-looking tart! Well worth all those steps!
My crispies got soggy too on the second day. This was my favorite part of the tart and I wish I had left them for the end to sprinkle over the top of the crust just before serving.
I think that the crispies are probably less like to get soggy if you leave them in bigger chunks, so that not all of them come into direct contact with either the ganache or the diplomat cream.
I am so sorry the crispies got soggy! Yes, that would definitely not be a great texture. That is exactly what I loved about my tart was the texture, but I just finished assembling mine a few hours ago, so maybe it needs to be eaten right away to get the crunchiness. I am glad that the overall flavor still shone through for you though!
now I worry about my tart getting soggy! Crossing my fingers…

Ann & John from Antarctica
Here we are, about halfway through a 16-night cruise aboard the Azamara Quest. The whole journey took us from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Montevideo, Uruguay, the Falkland Islands, the Antarctic Peninsula, back and forth across the treacherous Drake Passage, Ushuaia, Argentina, Puerto Madryn, Argentina and finally back to Buenos Aires. This video is as we sail near Antarctica.

Yep, I've come up with a new super hero: Jetlag boy!!
As you may have guessed, I'm still too jet lagged to do anything, I was fine for most of today, and then once my bum hit the seat, my eye's closed and then it was 2 hours later! doh!
I was at the new Edinburgh International Games Festival today as I was taking part in a panel on getting into games. I've done this the last 3 years now and its pretty good fun even if its not very busy. I also went to have a look at the Dare to be Digial entry's which were on display and open to the public this year, and as usualy, they look pretty good for 10 weeks work. Some were of a very high standard, and some were struggling, which is normal. 10 weeks is a very short timeframe to do what they are trying, so they all do well getting anything done at all!
Anyway, I hope to be back to fighting ways as I'm back to work properly tomorrow, and then back to doing stuff at night as well; I hope.
I've been thinking more and more about making XeO3 a pretend cartridge game (that is, a self booting MMC/SD game). So that when you buy an MMC card reader, you also get XeO3 for it. This makes life interesting as theres no disk involved, and I have fast storage available.....but.... another part of me doesn't like that because not everyone plays on a real plus/4 which shrinks the market somewhat.
But, even if I do a normal version, I can still see me doing a special MMC version as well - for the C64 too, as it's just cool :)

I really hope XeO3 would be available for both the supports, but based on the worse one: the MMC innovative distribution won't loose in innovative thrust anyway.

Isn't Jetlag Boy one of XeO3 level bosses - the one which causes every joystick action take effect several frames after actually done? ;)

When it comes to luxury, often the place and surroundings have a lot to do with it. If you are dining on a fine cuisine dressed to the nines but your in a dirt and roach-infested diner in the middle of the slums of a decrepit city, you really aren't dealing in luxury. If, however, you are being attended to hand and foot, have the utmost comfort, and the sights around you help create a relaxing atmosphere, you may be dealing in luxury.
Location can be everything in almost any facet of life. As such, there are obviously some places that are more luxurious than others. What better way to decide the most luxurious places in the United States than to read a list of luxury locations. You can read that list here and please leave a comment below if you agree or disagree with some of that list.

Whether times are good or bad, every small company could do with saving a dollar or two. There are many areas in which tiny businesses unwittingly hemorrhage cash every month. Spending just half a day at your desk with a computer, a phone and some recent supplier invoices could save you valuable funds that you could put to good use elsewhere. Here are some ways to save.
Partner up
There is strength and safety in numbers. Find and partner with companies to take advantage of bulk-buying discounts by purchasing and sharing larger orders of the same product. Finding a non-competing business with a complementary product or service or a matching demographic could enable you to co-organize events such as sidewalk sales, or to share distribution channels or mailing list services. Cross-promotions could also help reduce marketing costs.
Take advantage of trade associations
Consider joining a business association with discounts and other member perks to save you money. If you are already a member, ensure you're taking full advantage of the perks on offer. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB)offers a range of member discounts on everything from business banking through insurance to telecommunications. Associations supporting your particular vertical sector are likely to have still more member deals.
Use open-source software
Consider how much you're paying for your expensive corporate software and look for a free open-source alternative. Open-source software is developed by a community of enthusiasts, which means they're committed to producing quality software with useful features.
Companies can usually use open source software for free, but can often pay a company to support it for them if they wish. It isn't just for tech-heads either. Open-source office productivity software such as word processing and spreadsheets are easily downloadable for Windows and Mac platforms, and could get you out of some expensive recurring licensing deals.
Conduct a vendor audit
On the subject of recurring bills, it's worth conducting a vendor audit once or twice a year. Look at all the products and services that you use and ensure that you're still paying the optimal price for what you need. It's easy to keep automatically paying recurring bills, especially if they're on a direct debit plan. This is a common problem with cellular plans, for example. Check your data and voice-call usage to see if you're overpaying for data capacity that you don't use.
The same is true of online services ranging from magazine subscriptions to collaboration systems and forum memberships. If you don't use it, lose it, and save some valuable cash.
Balance your credit
Ensure that your credit card matches your payment profile. The most efficient businesses pay off their cards each month to avoid interest fees. If you're that kind of company, then opting for lower annual fees in exchange for a higher interest rate will make the most sense.
Ensure that the card you're using has a rewards profile that matches your business needs. Frequent business travellers might find an airline-oriented card better than one that gives them cash back on groceries, say. Canadian card comparison site Credit Card Genius has a good comparison system that can help you find the most appropriate card for you.
Time your payments
When auditing your vendors, ask if they offer discounts for early payment. If not, then ensure you pay at the last minute without incurring penalties. This will help to keep your money earning interest until the last possible minute. Even though interest rates are still relatively low, every little helps.
The same goes for paying cheques into your own business account and accepting Interac transfers. Instead of leaving these payments in the pile for bulk processing, process them as quickly as possible to begin earning interest on the money.
Why pay in cash when you can pay in kind? For some businesses with products or services to offer, barter can be a useful way to pay for business expenses. If you have downtime in a services-based business, leaving tools and time wasted, or if you have excess inventory that is tying up warehouse space, barter networks can be a useful way to convert them into extra revenue in exchange for services ranging from marketing to photography. Barter networks such as Barterpay and First Canadian Barter Exchange create their own barter credit systems that you can use to exchange with others in their network. It's a version of cash but exchangeable only within the barter community.
Barter can be a useful way to capitalize on surplus time and assets — but don't expect a tax break. Businesses must declare any bartered goods or services received and pay the appropriate taxes.
Finally, perhaps the most important money-saving tip of all: negotiate. A little ad-hoc haggling can often get results, even with large institutions who claim they don't have any wiggle room. Call your telco or your bank and tell them that you've received competitive offers from other providers, and ask them what they're prepared to do. Try it with any other suppliers where you can reach a person at the other end of the line. The results may surprise you.

Right now in the US, the difference in price is about $1,100, >[ . . . ] >Steve Maller 1/ Congratulations Steve ! 2/ If i may : to me, a one lens system "basic" simply cries out "wide angle". Anything between 24 and 35 mm for "basic" lens. The Leica 35mm f/2 is renowned for its crisp life-like performance. There was a time i was impressed by wide apertures but, with time, i realize my preferred shots are seldom below f/4 ones. Today's newer ISO 400 film emulsions provide such a MEASURABLY fine grain as to compete head on with ISO 100 films in a very serious and informed way (but other factors tip the scales towards the slower film types, obviously). The dilemma remains wether to shoot for prints or for projection. My favorite film remains Kodachrome 64, even above Kodachrome 25, when it's not for other people: for myself, i project wall-to-wall or as big as i can get away with and maintain a clean image. I have access to an old beaded Da-Lite 6' diagonal screen but seldom use it. For prints, i keep shifting between brands: Fuji Reala 100, Kodak Royal Gold 100, Agfa Optima 100. Kodak tends to be more aggressive with promotions here. Or, if it's a real low light situation i have to "work with", i usually go for Kodak PMZ 1000 which, in a 4" x 6" or 5" x 7" is quite good PROVIDED you use an above average lab. [ I found one, out of town, about same prices, but three days more: the extra quality really is worth the wait.] As soon as Kodak Royal Gold 25 comes my way, i'll have a shoot out. Ektachrome E200 i have to try too for all the positive comments i hear (and read) about it. I avoid shooting "street" style photos when low light as people tend to get real "Big Brother" paranoid. If i do, i pre-focus, tend to use ISO 1000 color negative, but locally it's a no-no except for festivals and such, just for the kind of people who "hang out" after dark . . . The extra depth-of-field a wide angle lens then delivers is a real magic "no-question-about-it" plus. So, RELATIVE TO YOUR "BASIC LENS" QUESTION, I would try to sell you on the idea of the 1 f/stop "slower" f/2 and apply the difference in due time when an opportunity to get a 75mm or 90mm at a decent cost to you comes by, new or pre-owned. There's a new APO 90mm coming out, so there'll be a wave of very clean 75 / 90 "used" lenses "floating" around . . . and so very few shoot with infra-red film ! This would give then give you a VERY STRONG two lens professional grade camera "kit", Leica brand mind you, and there is not much, where practical photography is concerned, that you would not be able to do. As for the option of getting a 50mm "normal" lens as "basic", i simply don't like what "normal" lenses allow me to do in the way of perspective control and composition. With a 24 to 35mm focal length lens, there's a lot more "drama" that can be packed in a photo, not over-doing it. A third lens would "naturally" go super-wide but a very good projector would come before. With those new Kodak Carousel / Leica "hybrids" just coming out, the better choice is 100% obvious where that is concerned. I hope you find my comments useful and enjoy an enduring and wonderful Leica experience. Andre Jean Quintal PS: If you can, do get the new TTL-capable improved Leica M6 version: you won't regret it.

BGE's 1.1 million residential customers will get a nice surprise in their May bill: a $100 credit on their accounts.
Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. announced Friday that most customers will receive the credit by the end of May. The ratepayer relief is part of the merger between BGE's parent Constellation Energy Group and Chicago-based Exelon Corp. The two companies agreed to provide the rate credit under an agreement with Maryland energy regulators, which approved the deal in February.
The ratepayer relief is not the first that BGE customers have received in recent years. In 2010, BGE customers got a $100 rate credit as a condition for state approval of Constellation's nuclear joint venture deal with French utility EDF.
During the regulatory review of the Constellation-Exelon merger, some critics, including the Maryland Office of People's Counsel, called on the companies to double the credit to $200 per residential customer.
But the Maryland Public Service Commission decided against imposing a higher credit because the panel believed the companies' promise to provide millions of dollars for energy-efficiency and low-income programs would have a more significant long-term impact on ratepayers. The two companies committed to providing $1 billion in total concessions as part of the merger.
BGE will automatically apply the credit to residential customers who have an active account on May 1. If a customer's bill is less than $100, the remaining balance will carry over to future bills.
Customers who cancel their BGE service before incurring $100 will not be given cash refunds, the company said.

Annual Garage Sale
World's Largest Garage Sale!
On Saturday, May 25th, 2019, the Markland Wood Homeowners Association and the whole neighbourhood will host "The World's Largest Community Garage Sale."
"Come one, come all to the greatest bargains in the Greater Toronto Area!"
The 2018 Markland Wood Garage Sale will be held on Saturday May 26. Don't forget to mark this annual event into your calendar.
Map to: World's Largest Garage Sale!
See a few photos from past Garage Sales held within the Markland Wood community. People come from great distances to shop at this event. "It's like a Garage Sale, Super Store." said one visitor to this annual event.
We were pleased to announce that UsedToronto.com (partners with Metroland Media) were our media sponsor in May 2014. This meant we had a quarter page ad in two issues of the Etobicoke Guardian and social media exposure through Twitter and Facebook. We had more foot traffic in May 2014 than in years prior! Each resident who set up for the Garage Sale that day received balloons from UsedToronto.com and they also had a booth set up.
