Storm From the ShadowsBook - 2009
Rear Admiral Michelle Henke was commanding one of the ships in a force led by Honor Harrington in an all-out space battle when she and her surviving crew were taken prisoner. Through an agreement with the Havenites and her government, she was given a command far away from the war's battle lines. What she didn't realize was that she would find herself on a collision course with the interstellar syndicate of criminals known as Manpower.
& Taylor
Rear Admiral Michelle Henke becomes a prisoner of war during a battle with the Star Kingdom forces and is held until a prisoner exchange can be arranged, but she soon finds herself in conflict with another enemy, Manpower, a powerful syndicate of criminals.

Rear Admiral Michelle Henke was commanding one of the ships in a force led by Honor Harrington in an all-out space battle. The odds were against the Star Kingdom forces, and they had to run. But Michelle's ship was crippled, and had to be destroyed to prevent superior Manticoran technology from falling into Havenite hands, and she and her surviving crew were taken prisoner. Much to her surprise, she was repatriated to Manticore, carrying a request for a summit conference between the leaders of the two sides which might end the war. But a condition of her return was that she gave her parole not to fight against the forces of the Republic of Haven until she had been officially exchanged for a Havenite prisoner of war, so she was given a command far away from the war's battle lines. What she didn't realize was that she would find herself on a collision course, not with a hostile government, but with the interstellar syndicate of criminals known as Manpower. And Manpower had its own plans for eliminating Manticore as a possible threat to its lucrative slave trade, deadly plans which remain hidden in the shadows.
Praise for the Prequel, The Shadow of Saganami:
"These hugely entertaining and clever adventures are the very epitome of space opera. . . . Weber . . . remind[s] the reader that a hero can be anyone who does his or her job with honor, commitment and skill." —Publishers Weekly
"The Shadow of Saganami may be military science fiction great David Weber's best tale in the Honorverse . . an action packed tale with a fully developed multiple cast. . . ." —The Midwest Book Review

Nice Honorverse novel set in "boring sleepy" sideshow front with limited navel resources. Echoed police action in past colonial empires before WWII. Plenty of covert action by various factions each having own agendas. Solarian Empire trying to stay together & expand using Frontier Fleet & proxies. Mesa Alignment centuries shadowy long plan to take over the universe. Manicore Empire consolidating their expanding empire.
Reader probably need to read previous novels to understand space opera.
I don't know where Weber is taking the Honorverse, but he keeps you turning the pages, and at 1000 pages that is pretty good. Although always called a "military" writer, Weber is pretty good at creating a vast multidimensional panorama of Galactic Culture, that includes lots of politics, spying, economics, and social phenomena, and above all, wheels within wheels within wheels of skullduggery and intrigue. So far he has kept it fresh, despite the fact that it's all the same, by expanding his canvas and cast. He's not a great writer but I enjoy the Honorverse a lot, and am quite glad he did not go ahead with plans to kill her off, as novels like this work VERY well with Honor doing no more than a cameo. And i sincerely hope he can keep the Honorverse going, and if this is any indication, he can.
for a book in excess of a Thousand pages, lots of plots & sub-plots , so many NEW characters, it is very easy & enthrallling reading.
Just what can be expected of a Honorverse Novel.
It's been a few years since I read Shadow of Saganami. I think I would have enjoyed Storm from the Shadows more if I'd read them closer together. I kept thinking there were plot details I should be remembering which would have made this book clearer.
If you are an Honor Harrington fan, you might be disappointed that she's not featured. If you're a David Weber space navy fan, you'll be pleased by the believable navy detail and the expansion of Mike's career.
Storm from the Shadows is a great follow up to The Shadow of Saganami and still ties in with the main Honor Harrington story line in At All Costs. Its a great read and makes you want to read the installment as soon as possible. A must read for any Honorverse fan.

Thanks to wallace nelson for adding this peak.
Most viewed peak from Paonia Co.
Access via Bell Creek or Lone Cabin Reservoir.
A maintained summit log (back to the 1940's)at summit. Views of Uncompahgre & Wetterhorn peak to the south, Raggeds, Sopris to north, 14er's in Elk range, Mtn Owens in Ruby, part of West Beckwith, Mt Gunnison, and on a clear day the Lasal mountains in Utah over a 100 miles to the west.
Standard route is Bell Canyon. Park at the end of Forest Service Rd. 834 2A (7,328').
Another approach is from Lone Cabin reservoir Forest Service Rd. 798 2B(8400').
The hiking trail is difficult to follow at times especially the first 1/4 mile.
Keep left after you lose trail, crossing some dead fall and finally onto a switchback trail. From there on the trail is solid all the way up to InterOcean pass. There is a sign before the top of InterOcean pass that indicates the way to Mt Lamborn summit. This trail has no FS number and evidently has not been taken care of since dead fall block the ascent within a half mile and is not shown on the latest USGS Quad. A better route is from the top of InterOcean Pass using a ridge which heads west 0.8 mi and eventually drops in on the end of FS trail 495, which is the Bell creek route. This ridge is not a trail and requires some light bushwhacking but because of the elevation and the exposure
the bush growth is minimal.
To Lamborn Summit:
Bell Creek route 3,942' in 3.9 miles.
Lone Cabin route 3,000' in 2.9 miles.

The consumer trend of streaming is growing, as well as the consumer outlet. Nowadays consumers are streaming unlimited amounts of music. It is no wonder why the digital download is suffering. Streaming was to be the new revenue of the music industry. However, streaming has proved to bring in low profits and low returns. Spotify has tried for years to convert free subscription subscribers to paying subscribers. The transformation seems impossible with competitors Deezer and Daisy entering the market place this year.
Yesterday Spotify has removed all time limitations on free accounts, leaving consumers minds with even more opportunities not to pay for the subscription model. Spotify made the changes to compete with Daisy, who will enter the market place January 21, 2014. Daisy will limit free subscriptions to a seven-day trail period.
In 2014 subscription services will be more competitive then ever, with a market that already sees low profits. These services will be focused to cut profits even more to compete with competitors. It seems we have entered the era of the " Streaming Battles" the weak will fall and the strong will survive.

To the editor,
I would like to give a big thank you to Jared at Jared Auto. His auto shop is next to APET in Mineola.
Jared took time out of his day and mowed about three acres for APET. Jared would not take any money for doing that for APET. He did not want any recognition for his kind act.
Jared is why so many of us choose Mineola to live in. In Mineola there is truly community pride and friendly, kind people like Jared. I just couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
Thank you Jared and may God bless you and your family.
Jim Satullo

Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid Good For 335 Horsepower, 37 Mile EV Range
As promised, the Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid has made its world debut at the Shanghai Auto Show. The Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid promises to double the fuel economy of the conventional version, 37 miles of electric driving range, and at least 335 horsepower from a 2.0 liter gas engine and a pair of electric motors at the rear-wheels, but don't mistake this for the ELR 2.0. Instead, this is a new direction for Cadillac that finally takes plug-in cars seriously.
Despite using a similarly-sized 18.4 kWh battery pack using the same lithium-ion chemistry as the 2015 Chevy Volt, the battery was made specifically for the Cadillac CT6 PHEV, as was its drivetrain. A 2.0 liter gas engine sits under the hood, while two electric motors can drive the rear-wheels for up to 37 miles. In Sport Mode, the gas engine and electric motors can work together, and acceleration should come in under six seconds if GM executive Mark Reuss is to be believed.
But unlike the Chevy Volt and the Cadillac ELR (which GM calls extended-range electric vehicles), once the battery pack is drained, the gas engine takes over driving duties. In Hold mode, drivers can reserve the battery pack for when they need it, while Normal driving mode lets the CT6 prioritize the battery over the gas tank, maximizing MPGs. The CT6 will use the same Regen-on-Demand system as the ELR though, and the electric motors can handle speeds of up to 75 MPH, which should help it approach 70 MPGe. That will match competitors like the Mercedes S500 Plug-In Hybrid, though it should be substantially lighter than the German behemoth thanks to Cadillac's new lightweight chassis architecture.
With the CT6 and much-improved (and more reasonably-priced) 2016 ELR, Cadillac is doubling the number of plug-in cars it offers, and under the reign of Johan de Nysschen, we will probably see many more. The Cadillac CT6 is the first car Johan can really put his name on, and including a plug-in version will prove an important turning point in Caddy's fortunes, if you ask me.
Which you sorta are, because you're still reading this right now, aren't you?

Book Review: The White Bicycle
The White Bicycle by Beverley Brenna. October 2012. 9780889954830. Gr. 9-12.
The White Bicycle opens with a dream. Taylor is walking through the woods. Her mother is calling after her, but Taylor continues walking with her bicycle on the difficult path without looking back. It is just a dream, but Taylor notes,
"In life it is your dreams that take you forward, and your dreams that make you human."
Taylor dreams of being independent. She is nineteen years old, and she feels like it is time for her to stop relying on her mother so much. She was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when she was eleven, which helped her to understand why some things were difficult for her, but author Beverley Brenna draws on her experience working with people who have Asperger's to create an intimate story that shares her view that Asperger's means "seeing the world in a different way, not in a defective way." She writes more about Asperger's and her novels in an interview at the end of the book. The result is an introspective, occasionally philosophical, coming-of-age novel about an unusual protagonist that will resonate with a wide variety of readers, whether they are familiar with Asperger's or not.
Taylor's first person narration takes readers back to her earliest memories, through her parents divorce, and off to the French countryside for a summer job. Her story began in Wild Orchid, which SLJ compared to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, and turned into a trilogy that followed Taylor's push to move past her fears in new ways as she grows up. The White Bicycle stands alone as the conclusion of the trilogy, and readers who discover her story will be richly rewarded.
For more books that explore Asperger's or Autism, see my post about Autism Awareness Month from 2011.

Editor's note: This article originally was sent as a memo to the staff of Burke, Williams & Sorenson L.L.P., a Los Angeles firm that focuses on corporate law, business litigation, and public law. Thanks to partner Rufus Young for submitting it to Law Technology News.
From the Technology Committee of Burke, Williams & Sorenson L.L.P.
E-MAIL IS AN integral part of our practice. As we become more e-mail proficient, however, there is sometimes a tendency to over-use or misuse e-mail within the firm. The Technology Committee has requested and gathered input from partners, I.T. staff, and others, to come up with an e-mail protocol list. This list is not all-inclusive. Most of these items do not rise to the level of being "BWS policies," but are good suggestions for your consideration to avoid inconveniencing others and unduly burdening our computer systems and equipment.
Please incorporate them into your normal e-mail routine.
1. Be discriminating and make conscious selections in determining to whom you send an e-mail.
It is a common frustration to find dozens of e-mails in our "inbox" that need not have been sent to us. It is also frustrating and inconvenient for users of Blackberry devices and other remote e-mail access devices to have those devices ringing or buzzing each time an e-mail is received, only to find that the e-mail was unnecessary or trivial.
Following are some suggestions:
(a) E-mail intended for a few attorneys should not be sent to all attorneys.
(b) E-mail intended for, or of likely interest to, only a certain Practice Group need not be sent to all attorneys.
(c) E-mail involving or concerning only one office need not be sent to all offices.
(d) The "everyone" address should be used only when truly everyone should know about the matter. Similar discretion should be exercised before using the "attorney" address.
2. Use the "Reply To All" button only when necessary.
The "Reply To All" button on the e-mail tool panel should be used only when everyone who received the initial e-mail should also receive your reply. In most circumstances, that is not the case.
The most common example of misuse of the "Reply To All" button involves responses to e-mails sent to "everyone" or "attorney," such as congratulatory e-mails expressing thanks or admiration for a job well done, or inquiry e-mails seeking information or suggestions regarding a particular situation.
Recipients sometimes push "Reply To All" and respond with "Great Job!" "Well Done" or "Congratulations" and perhaps some additional minor comment, or the response to the inquiry.
If that response were sent only to the party being congratulated or inquiring, such a response is most appropriate and welcome. When that response is sent to everyone who received the original e-mail, however, it is generally felt to be inconvenient, burdensome and unnecessary. The original e-mail sent the main message; the follow-up e-mails sent to everyone simply are not necessary and are burdensome to the recipients and the computer system.
3. Type in a "subject."
When sending an e-mail, please type in the "subject" of the e-mail in the "subject" line of the caption. This greatly assists the reader to more efficiently scan the list of e-mails.
4. Consider deleting previous text when responding.
When replying to an e-mail, especially a lengthy one, consider deleting text or prior portions of the e-mail that need not be included in the reply. Including unnecessary text simply takes up additional space on the network.
5. Print out and file copies of e-mail when appropriate.
Because e-mail correspondence frequently replaces letters or memos that we would otherwise routinely copy and put in the file, it is prudent to print out any e-mails sent or received that contain information pertaining to a file. This can be done by the attorney, or the attorney can forward or bcc his/her secretary and have it printed out by the secretary. In order to facilitate filing, it might be advisable to include the matter number when forwarding an e-mail to be printed. Also, bear in mind that e-mails are subject to the same discovery rules as any other correspondence and even deleted e-mails can be recovered electronically.
6. Consider using the "Confidential" setting.
In the event that you want to make a default setting to consistently mark your e-mails as "confidential," go to Tools, click on Options, then click on Preferences, then E-mail Options, then Advanced E-mail Options, then set Sensitivity, to "confidential."
7. Use signature blocks and confidentiality warnings.
E-mail sent to addressees external to BWS, on BWS business, should bear a signature block, identifying the sender, the sender's BWS office address, BWS e-mail address, the firm Web page URL (www.bwslaw.com) and the sender's telephone number.
It's also a good idea to include in your signature block (or have a separate signature block) that includes the following confidentiality warning or something similar:
The information in this e-mail message is intended for the confidential use of the addressees only. The information is subject to the attorney-client privilege and/or may be attorney work-product. Recipients should not file copies of this e-mail with publicly accessible records. If you are not an addressee or an authorized agent responsible for delivering this e-mail to a designated addressee, you have received this e-mail in error, and any further review, dissemination distribution, copying or forwarding of this e-mail is strictly prohibited.

To add this provision to your signature block, or to create a signature block, feel free to contact the I.T.department. Any e-mail sent to addresses external to BWS and not relating to BWS business should not contain the sender's signature block discussed above.
8. Delete old e-mails from all folders periodically.
Each user should periodically delete old e-mails from the inbox and also from their deleted items and sent items folders.
When e-mails are deleted from your inbox they are simply placed into the deleted items folder, and all e-mails you send are retained in the sent items folder, both of which still occupy the same amount of space on our computer system.
By periodically deleting old e-mails from the deleted items and sent items folders, however, we can free up that space on the system to save cost and having to add additional storage space.
A good rule of thumb might be to delete any e-mails from the deleted items and sent items folders that are more than two months old.
This can be done very quickly and easily -- if you do not know how, ask your secretary or any I.T. person.
Special Note: If you receive an e-mail that contains PowerPoint or moving picture attachments, please delete it from both your inbox and deleted items as soon as reasonably possible.
Those attachments consume large amounts of storage space on our system and should be completely removed as soon as possible.
9. Do not use preview panes without approval.
Any use of preview panes to view a portion of your e-mails should be approved by the I.T. department.
The preview pane options automatically open all e-mails you receive without first enabling you to determine the e-mail's source or whether it may contain a virus.
This automatic opening of the e-mail may easily result in an e-mail borne virus infecting your individual PC as well as the entire firm's network.

Well, I'm back from my trip. I had a great time! It was a real relief to get out of the freezing cold winter weather for awhile, and I managed to get some reading done as well. I should be around to all of your blogs in the next couple days to catch up, but first, here are a few pictures from my trip:

Yeah, the sandcastle is AWESOME! Did y'all make a plan to build a pyramid or did it just start to evolve that way while you were digging? I love making sandcastles. 🙂
Ah, a vacation. I hope to have another one some day. 🙂 Looks like a great place to travel. Hope you had a great time.
Ahhhh so envious. It looks gorgeous there. I want to me on a warm, balmy beach!
Fun! I need a break from the cold.
Ugh, I wish I was somewhere warm!!! I'm supremely jealous.
Crocotopia … makes sense. Maybe its a beacon to welcome people from the planet Crocotopia.
Crocotopia? Looks like an Egyptian pyramid to me.

Mayor Palmieri today announced the grand opening and ribbon cutting of THE BLEECKER, a renovation and revitalization project of 662-666 Bleecker Street. The project was developed by Utica Revital LLC.
THE BLEECKER is a transformational project that will create a mixed use building, consisting of 15 apartments, a business/meeting center for short term rentals, two restaurants and a barbershop.

David Friedman of Utica Revital LLC stated, "We want to restore Utica to its former grandeur. THE BLEECKER is part of the transformation of the city to a place where people feel comfortable and invited. The renovation of the property at the corner of Bleecker and Mohawk Streets is making downtown upscale."

The best boilerplate app is the one you code yourself
Boilerplate apps are great. They let you get your next project up and running quickly, and usually provide some form of structure you can follow. They can also, however, be a massive time-sink. We developers are curious by nature, and tend to have this thing where we want to know exactly how things run under the hood 🙈 In addition, boilerplates can be too minimalistic for your needs, or too much bloat.

Happy 2018!! (I don't know when I'll get used to that, if ever)
So this post is a little bit overdue maybe, so I'll just get right to it. I read more books in 2017 than any year before it, so it's only fair I do some statistics / recap of them et cetera.
In total, I read 56 books. According to Goodreads, that's about 18,606 pages but I'll take that with a pinch of salt since I might have logged in some different editions and so on.
Out of those books,
17 were Finnish (30.3%)
20 were in Finnish (35.7%)
36 were in English (64.3%)
18 were British (32.1%)
32 were written by women (57.1%)
24 were written by men (42.9%).
11 were on the Kindle (19.6%)
10 were audiobooks (one was a podcast!) (17.8%)
35 were traditional books. (58.9%)
7 had main LGBT relationships (I excluded token gays from this because bleh) (12.5%)
4 were from outside North America, UK and Finland (7.1%) (This is something I'd really like to improve in 2018, I'm rather tired of all the US-centric literature especially)
I rated 15 books 5/5 (probably the easiest way to see them is here)
and only one book 1/5 (it was Charisma by Jeanne Ryan).
I also participated in, and completed, the Helmet 2017 reading challenge, which was 50 books in different categories such as 'animal on the cover', 'a book about faith or religion' and 'a book where nobody dies'. It was a lot of fun and had me picking up a lot of books I probably wouldn't have read otherwise, so it was a very good experience.
I also completed my Goodreads Reading Goal, which was set at 30 books. That was mostly due to the former reading challenge, of course. While both of these challenges were really fun and, well, challenging, they did make me pick up a lot of books that were short and probably ignore a lot of great ones. Because of this, I decided not to take on any reading challenges this year. It's kind of nice, for a change.
I also personally wanted to read more Finnish books, which was questionably successful(?) because living in the UK, it's kind of difficult to get my hands on as many of them as I'd like. Still, 17 isn't too shabby. I'll definitely continue with my challenge in the future too!
So that's that for 2017! Hopefully this year I'll have more specific stats for you, I'll try to make them as I go this time.

COM: Problem-solving with whips and hammers
This from CNN today:
The Texas congressman's supporters -- among them a dozen conservative
organizations -- staged a high-profile show of support by throwing a
$250-a-plate gala in his honor that brought nearly 900 people to the Capital
Hilton. The money will be used to pay for the event, organizers said.
Here's an idea for law-happy factions -- let's make it illegal to charge more for a plate of food than what that plate normally brings at a restaurant. Then, people can still make their big donations, but some of the little people can also attend. Or do the little people not matter . . . ohhh . . . it's a tax thing . . . a skirting the rules thing . . . ohhhh . . . and you can only come if you're invited . . . ohhh . . . i get it . . . no little people . . . hmmm . . .
Okay, 900 people times $250 is, hmm, $225,000 for a dinner. Hmm. Ohhhhh, and the money will be used to pay for the event . . . hmmm . . .
"No ideas. No leadership. No agenda. And, just in the last week, we can now
add to that list, no class," DeLay said, a reference to Senate Democratic leader
Harry Reid's remark to school children that President Bush was "a loser." Reid
later apologized to Bush adviser Karl Rove.
I know a party whose main problem is apologizing for telling the truth.
And then there's this guy being feted at a $250 a plate dinner talking about class. I was once in a situation similar to this where someone conflated class and money (that other use of 'class'). Hmmm . . . $225,000 . . . classy . . .
The crowd dined on filet mignon and salmon and a dessert
of red-white-and-blue frosted cake decorated with candy hammers, a reference to the nickname DeLay earned when he was House majority whip.
Oooh, filet mignon and salmon . . . very classy . . . $225,000 . . . very, veeeery classy . . . and, well, i imagine it took some bucks (and some class) to make all those little candy hammers . . .
It's all here . . .
and more from The Washington Post via MSNBC
Ooooohhh, tributes from Jesse Helms and Phyllis Schlafly . . . very classy . . .
He thanked the hosts of the event, the speakers, his family and
Christine, his high school sweetheart. She stood by him, he said, "even back
in the days, 20 years ago, when I made a lot of mistakes and was a
self-centered jerk."
Ooooooohhhh . . . way back when . . . classy . . .
Oh, but wait, someone gets in a punch . . .
On his way off the dais, DeLay wiped his cheek again -- whether tears
or sweat was not clear.

Wine makes for a very versatile gift that will be surely enjoyed. Whether you have been invited to a dinner party or an executive function, if you are attending a wedding or other celebration: wine is always a safe bet.
When you gift wine, you are giving the gift of enjoyment. If it is a unique bottle, your gift may be a prized luxury that the recipient would not have normally bought for themselves. Gifting wine can also be a way of marking a special occasion that will be remembered later when the wine is opened. Your gift of wine could be the start of someone's new appreciation for wine, or the first bottle in their future cellared collection. There are, however, several things to consider when selecting wine as a gift: whom you are buying for, the type of occasion or celebration, the purpose of the gift, your budget and the recipient's wine preferences. Below are some guidelines to help you choose the perfect wine gift for any occasion.
Housewarming or hostess gift:
A housewarming or hostess gift is often given when invited to a home for a meal or to stay.
If arriving for a dinner party, offer the gift of a moderately priced wine. Consider the meal you are about to share. If you know what is being prepared, read the article on Food and Wine Matching for some inspiration. DAWINE also offers an easy-to-use pictorial guide for food pairing suggestions. You could also, for example, simply type 'pork' into the search box to see a selection of the wines best suited to pork dishes.
If you are still unsure which wine to choose, pick one red and one white bottle. Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay are two varietals that pair well with most foods and palates, and Shiraz and Merlot are two red wines enjoyed by most.
If you are going to someone's home and the gift is intended as a token of appreciation, you can choose to give the wine unwrapped.
To mark a special occasion:
A bottle of sparkling wine or champagne is often associated with celebration. Even if not opened right away, the wine will store well vertically.
When purchasing wine as a wedding gift, consider helping the couple begin their wine collection by giving several bottles each differing in variety and price range.
To really mark a special occasion, you could choose a wine from a vintage that is meaningful to both of you – for example: the year someone was born, the year they were married, or they year they graduated.
Gift wrapping and other accessories:
If the gift is for a wine connoisseur, you could present the bottle in a beautiful wooden, metal or even cardboard box, especially designed for wine bottles. For a more unique gift, you could choose a traditional wooden wine create. If you would rather keep it simple, you can use a wine bottle gift bag. For a more elaborate gift, consider adding some accessories, such as: decanters, foil-cutters, higher-end bar tools, books or videos; as well as cheeses, crackers, chocolates or other gourmet snacks. You could wrap a selection of these in a gift basket together with your bottles of wine.
Whatever your occasion, it's prudent to keep a variety of wine in stock, so that you will always be prepared to give the perfect gift.

Data Centres
The Engine of the Internet
All of our online activity, including email, social media and conducting business, is delivered through data centres, the fastest-growing sector in terms of energy consumption. And this is increasing. As of July 2015, more than 400 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube every minute. Not to mention the 'internet of things' evolution. At CEJN we believe liquid cooling is the future and is vital to keep servers running and costs and CO2 emissions down. It is around 25 times more efficient than air cooling in removing heat, and the fear of leakage is no longer a valid reason for looking at other options. Invest in liquid cooling.

Tadias Magazine
By Tadias Staff
March 22th, 2018
New York (TADIAS) — The first time that we featured Fikru Gebre Mariam in Tadias Magazine in 2009 he was an up-and-coming artist commuting between his studios in Paris and Addis Ababa. The Tadias profile, which was written by the late American sociologist and scholar of Ethiopian culture and history Donald Levine, described Fikru's works as expressed in geometric abstraction. "They convey a blend of rich hues, emotional intensity, immediacy of impact, and a touch of austerity," Levine wrote. "Even so, there is no mistaking the deeply Ethiopian flavor of these paintings. They display hints of Ethiopian miniatures and church paintings. They are imbued with African earth tones. They use the colored garments of Harari women. They capture the somber mood of much Ethiopian life."
Fikru Gebre who is now based in Ethiopia full time is an internationally acclaimed artist and sought after by art lovers from around the world.
This week, the Arts Division of EDGIC Fine Art, Luxury & Media Corporation that caters to high-end global art collectors highlighted Fikru in a press release as their "STOP Times UP" feature saying: "The vision of selected Ethiopian EDGIC Artist Fikru Gebre Mariam saw the uprising of emotive influences that sought creation as "At the Red Light" original Art. He appreciates that the way of NOW is to subjugate oppression with the voice of what was once the voiceless through the veracity of experiences to power awareness in embracing unity for equality to be the order of the day."
EDGIC added: "To this end, Fikru Gebre Mariam brings forward the feminine consciousness to stand as a red light against the atrocities of misused male power. EDGIC Art Division recognizes the value that this great artist brings to the table of mankind and the current climate that has seen the upsurge of Times UP movement to accept that the art of this millennium defines people for peace to be the known reality of mankind. International acclaim has followed Fikru Gebre Mariam over the years, yet his humility is ever present as he acknowledges the power of preserving his art for generations of people to follow the integrity of standing tall in the very nature of their truth."
Fikru is a graduate of the Addis Ababa School of Fine Arts — founded by prominent artist Ale Felege Selam — where he was a protégé of instructor Tadesse Mesfin, who Levine said "not only taught him painterly skills but gave him a graphic theme which he would embrace, struggle with, and grow through, ever since."

The verse I have chosen to ponderize this week, is 2 Nephi 10:24.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved.
I know there something beyond this life. I have had personal experiences in my life and have heard stories of family members and friends who have experienced things, that have taught me there is life after we die. My understanding and belief of what that life is, comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ, which teaches me that there are great blessings awaiting me there, beyond anything I can imagine. However, the blessings will not be the same for everyone. This is because, in this life we make choices and every choice has a consequence. These consequences do not only come in this life, but they will also come in our life after death. Every choice that is wrong, separates us from God. Because of the eternal laws of justice, all of us would be separated from God after this life. If this was the consequence we all were to receive, without any hope of changing it, there would have been no point in God's plan to send us to this earth. We would be lost. God, however, made a plan, which allowed for a Savior, to be sacrificed to answer the law and to show mercy to all of us, if we would choose to accept it. This sacrifice was made by the Lord, Jesus Christ, and is called the atonement. With the atonement, Christ provides mercy and grace, which are the only reason any of us can be saved and hope to receive the blessings of God after this life.
How then, do we choose to accept this gift of sacrifice, which the Lord has provided for us? This verse gives us the answer. We must "reconcile [ourselves] to the will of God". We have to choose the right way. Everyday we make choices. No matter what the world may tell us, there are choices that are morally right and those that are morally wrong. Not every decision we have to make, will be either right or wrong, but a lot of them will be. Those things that are right, will always be aligned with the things that God wants for us. Those things that are wrong, will always be aligned with the things that the devil wants for us, or those things of the flesh. To be reconciled is to settle differences or to bring harmony into our relationship with God. We can only do this by doing the things that He asks of us. Throughout the scriptures, their is a repeated phrase, that teaches us He wants us to keep His commandments. We become reconciled to the will of God, when we make the choice to keep the commandments of God. If we choose to do those things that we know to be morally wrong, we choose to put ourselves in harmony with the devil and his plan to destroy the work of God.
Sadly, there are things in this world, that confuse what is right and wrong. In order to know that we are doing what is right, we must know the expectations that God has set for us. We must know the commandments, expectations, and statutes of God. We can come to know these through prayerful study of the gospel as found in the holy scriptures, as well as from the mouths of His modern prophets. In order to be reconciled to God, we need to study the scriptures and pray for guidance from the Lord.
Finally, when we make mistakes, we reconcile ourselves with God by repenting of those things we have done wrong. Repentance means recognizing we've done wrong, asking for forgiveness, making restitution, turning away from sin, and allowing God to change our hearts through the atonement. When we repent, we settle the differences between our choices and what God wants for us. Reconciliation requires repentance.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved.
I know that God is real. I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. Knowing this helps me to know that we can either choose to stand with God, or stand with Satan. I believe that Satan offers me nothing in return for choosing to follow him, while the Lord offers me everything he has if I choose to follow Him. I know that families can be together forever and that is what I desire as my future. This blessing is only offered to me by God, and can only be made a reality if I become reconciled to God. I know that repentance is real. I know that the atonement is real. Grace is the offering that will save me, but I need to do my best to live as God wants me to live, so that I will want to accept His offering. Knowing and believing these things, gives me direction in this life and I am so grateful for that.

The Mystical Journey of the Enneagram David Burke
|David will draw from his experience as a worldclass facilitator and his in-depth knowledge of the Enneagram to synthesize the key messages articulated throughout the conference. He will focus on the way in which the Enneagram promotes inclusiveness, community, compassion and understanding.

Use this amazing deal to know all your financial investments and service details by setting up your account with no changes. Be first to grab it" alongside a "Get Deal" link. Text above the claim stated "6 People used". The third promotion stated "Start an ISA From as Little as £500. From as little as £500 you could open and start saving with your new Nutmeg ISA account" alongside a "Get Deal" link. Text above the claim stated "1 People Used".
Nutmeg Saving and Investment Ltd, who stated that the deals were not genuine and that they had not provided Greenpromocode.com any discounts to be used on their website, challenged whether the promotions were misleading.
Fayong Hu t/a Greenpromocode.com did not respond to the ASA's enquires.
The ASA was concerned by Greenpromocode.com's lack of response and apparent disregard for the Code, which was a breach of CAP Code (Edition 12) rule 1.7 1.7 Any unreasonable delay in responding to the ASA's enquiries will normally be considered a breach of the Code. (Unreasonable delay). We reminded them of their responsibility to provide a substantive response.
We considered that consumers would understand from the advertised promo codes that they were genuine promotions offered by Greenpromocode.com that could be used on the Nutmeg website. We considered consumers would understand from the claims "5 People Used" and "6 People Used" that the promo codes had already been successfully used by consumers. We understood from Nutmeg, however, that they had not provided greenpromocode.com any discounts or offers to be used on their own website. In the absence of any evidence that the deals were genuine offers, we concluded that the ad was misleading.
The ad breached CAP Code (Edition 12) rule 3.1 3.1 Marketing communications must not materially mislead or be likely to do so. (Misleading advertising).
The ad must not appear again in its current form. We told Greenpromocode.com to remove the deals from their website. We referred the matter to the CAP Compliance team.

Once again Whistler seniors will be talking about possible seniors housing sites at their upcoming annual general meeting.
Indeed, finding a place to "age in place" has been the Mature Action Committee's goal ever since it was established roughly 10 years ago. They have yet to give up and remain focused on the task at hand and, to their credit, a number of promising possibilities are on the horizon.
This year, however, the AGM will be followed by a Dialogue Forum, designed to engage seniors in discussion around "Healthy Aging in Whistler."
"Seniors in Whistler are rather a unique bunch," said senior Marnie Simon, who is on the MAC board of directors and chairperson for the Whistler Health Care Foundation. "They're very active. They're healthy and they want to stay healthy and they want to help themselves to be healthy."
Simon encourages all seniors, even those who are loathe to think of themselves as seniors, to come together on Friday, April 15 to discuss not only the possibility of seniors housing but also what's needed in Whistler for seniors to stay here and be healthy growing old here.
Already Simon can think of a handful of things.
For example, she said, Whistler needs more home care services. Those types of resources, she added, are inadequate in Whistler and Pemberton.
More doctors in the area would also help particularly doctors focused on elderly patient care.
"Walk in clinics and emergency clinics, they're not really what seniors need," she said. "You need a continuity of care."
And more diagnostic facilities in Whistler would also help and prevent seniors, and others, from making the trip to Vancouver for lab work and other things.
All these things to help seniors stay healthy in their twilight years could be so much easier if there was a community to base the services around, she added, and so the AGM and the forum topics go hand in hand.
"If people are in a community where the services are centred there they can help themselves and access services," said Simon.
The AGM kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, April 15. The forum gets underway at 7:30 and runs for two hours.
A number a guest speakers, including Whistler physician Dr. Ian Tamplin, and gerontologist, Dr. Kenneth Madden will be attending the meeting as part of a panel of experts.

No matter how mainstream Viagra seems to be nowadays, there are still some skeptics that are afraid of what the drug can do for them. No one can really blame them considering how all drug types have their own side effects. The question is – is the drug really that dangerous? For those who are unsure whether or not to take this option, following is a comprehensive explanation of the positive and negative effects the drug can do for the body.
The Positive
No explanation needed for this one. The fact is that the drug is highly effective in restoring male sexual arousal. It is a proven treatment for erectile dysfunction, allowing males to get ready mere minutes after intake. It works by promoting blood flow to the penis, allowing it to harden and ready for sexual contact. Depending on the strength of the drug, this effect could last from several minutes to hours.
The Negative
As already mentioned, all drugs have a side effect and Viagra is no exception. However, the effects are actually mild and do not bother a large portion of the male takers. Some of these include dizziness, headache, heartburn, runny nose, digestion issues and flushing. Diarrhea is also possible but not that common and in rare cases, prolonged erection of the male sexual organ. Should any of these problems occur, individuals are advised to get back to their doctor and ask for another type of prescription drug.
Who Shouldn't Take This?
The drug is not something that could be made available to everyone. Individuals suffering from specific health conditions should not take this drug since it could mess up their system. Some of the individuals included in the list of non-takers should include:- Individuals who have a history of heart problems.
– Those who recently suffered through a stroke or have a history of having one.
– Liver and kidney related health problems.
– Suffering from eye problems.
– Went through dehydration.
– Suffering from high blood or low blood pressure.
– Diagnosed with serious health issues such as leukemia and the like.
Of course, these aren't the only restrictions when taking the drug. Doctors should be able to provide a more extensive break down of what health issues invalidates the chance of a person to take the drug. Note that this is done to protect the individual from harsh side effects. This shouldn't worry individuals though since tests have concluded that a majority of takers do not suffer from the side effects. In fact, a mere 2.5% of the patients have complained about the most common side effects. When used appropriately, Viagra is 100% safe and could provide males with the exact results they are hoping for. However, that doesn't mean that it's OK to buy them without any consultations. Each person reacts differently to a drug which is why males are advised to ask the opinion of a physician prior to purchase. This way, users can be sure that they are taking something that wouldn't interfere with their general health.

The update function of Open Workbench (OWB) does not update 'Estimate to Complete(ETC)' and 'Pending estimates (Pending ETC)' .
Let's say we have a project opened using OWB from PPM. While that is open in OWB, say the project's team member, whose total ETC for a task is 40 hours, submits the timesheet with 24 hours with pending ETCs as 16 hours. Now, if we click on the update on OWB, the Pending ETC is not getting updated. The scenario is same even after the timesheet is approved and posted even.
Because the timesheet has been posted, the ETC is changed to 16 hours(40-24) and pending ETCs is also updated to 16 hours on the task assignment. As the update function is not updating ETC and pending ETC, the data in OWB is still 40 and 0 respectively, where as the data on task assignment is 16 and 16. Now if I exit OWB, the project details on OWB are saving back to PPM, which is overwriting the ETC and pending ETC and changing it to 40 and 0.
Steps to Reproduce:
Expected Result: The pending ETC should be updated once the timesheet is submitted or approved. When it is posted, the ETC should also be updated along with Pending ETC
Actual Result: The pending ETC and ETC are not getting updated. Also, when we exit OWB after posting, the current ETC and pending on PPM - project are being overwritten with the value which is before posting the timesheet
Applies to all supported PAS environments
Caused by CLRT-74418
Resolved in CA PPM 14.2 Generic Patch #5 or higher
Resolved in CA PPM 14.3
As a workaround, we have to ensure that while exiting OWB the data is not being saved back and open the project using OWB again to show the current values.

So it has been a while since I last blogged. Partly because I have been doing other things like having a birthday, partly because some weeks just get busy and partly because stopping and reflecting is sometimes most useful and best done before continuing your thought process with all who may read this.
Since I last blogged I have also written an article for my church on trying to live a plastic free life that will be shared via a British wide newsletter which in time will arrive on here: http://www.moravian.org.uk . I have done a couple of bits for Christian Aid and have chatted with my tutor group in college about it.
From this last place came the most intriguing ideas. We talked about what we could do (we are all trainee ministers/ vicars), what the church could do and how we make this not just a middle class issue. The latter is a very challenging question – how can plastic free living not just be for the middle class?
Some changes which are financially cheaper include: veg/meat/fish shopping locally and finding grains in local shops but with the rise of the plastic filled things such as the 99p store, even saying switching toothbrushes is not necessarily cheaper when you can get a pack of ten for 99p.
Should it be a lifestyle choice just for those who can afford it – definitely not. If we consider the number of people who are concerned for the planet and/or concerned about what goes into their bodies (if you recognise plastic does leach out hormones) then clearly not. Plastic is being used as a cheap material but at potentially at the cost to our health, the seas including fish and animals within the sea, as well as the wider world.
One story that was shared in my tutor group talked of how plastic is now being used as a source of fuel all over the world (this story was shared in the context of Africa). Yet, burning plastic releases toxins into the air and the melted ball left if eaten by an animal is likely to cause the animal to die.
It worries me as the side effects of plastic affect us all – but the problem is that it is being produced so cheaply which is hard to compete against.
We are currently in the midst of Fair-trade Fortnight (29 Feb-13 March) and in our house that is always a reason to buy in chocolate !
Both of us love Fair-trade products – we like them because we know they are well sourced and that fair wages are given out. But we also know that this fairness means a slight price hike which is O.K. for us but maybe isn't so easy a compromise for someone living off JSA. I also celebrated by buying a water bottle from Oxfam) because I haven't currently got one that is metal, only ones that hold tea (I am slowly phasing out my completely plastic ones which are years old) . My compromise was that it was Fair-trade and largely metal (see lid is plastic). It cost me £4.99
This bottle to me symbolizes how hard it is to live ethically. I compromised in buying this bottle because I prefer to support charities and business like Oxfam that support Fair-trade. Yet it does still contain a bit of plastic. To buy a non plastic water bottle though is around 6 times more expensive and isn't money I have spare. My ethical non plastic living is guided by income for better or worse.
However, I want to finish with an encouragement. Sometimes living plastic free is cheaper – Aldi does a lot of paper based products (which includes chocolate for those who can't afford the Fairtrade prices), Lush products will last you much longer than most plastic filled ones and are overtime cheaper and borrowing books from a library as opposed to buying them is always cheaper. As I keep saying to folks making one switch is better than non – or writing to one company is better than none.
Plastic is an issue that does affect us all. I hope we can each find a way of reducing our plastic that is manageable and in accordance with our time and finances and that we don't feel guilty living in ways we can each manage.

Three years ago I was searching for a good attorney. After several consultations with different attorneys and major hassles I was lucky enough to find Mr. Jayson Soobitsky. I sat with Mr. Soobitsky one time and knew that I would search no further. After the original meeting I was immediately sure that I would be represented correctly and effectively. Mr. Soobitsky has represented me in three cases. In all three cases Mr. Soobitsky was always upfront , honest, responsive , easy to reach , knew exactly what he was doing in the court room and out, and always made sure I knew what was happening during each case. In the most difficult times of my life Mr. Soobitsky and his law firm worked to ensure that the results would be long standing and in the best interest of our family. During those trying times I was always treated with respect, honesty , and was made to feel as if I was his only client. My family and I are very appreciative of the hard work that has been done for us. I highly recommend Mr. Jayson Soobitsky and his entire law firm for your legal needs. They all work diligently and will ensure that you have the results desired and are not afraid to tell you things you need to know. Mr. Soobitsky is a very honest and trustworthy man and will give you the information you need to make the best decisions. You cannot pick a better law firm.
Worst attorney I ever worked with. Unprofessional, arrogant and inappropriate with women. Save yourself time and trouble, there are much better lawyers in Greenbelt.
The legal profession is vast, with each attorney having his or her specialties. Here are some of the most common attorneys individuals seek out when they require legal aid:
Criminal Lawyer
A criminal defense lawyer is probably the attorney the average person imagines. Criminal attorneys are the men and women who defend individuals accused of a crime. The lawyer may work pro bono - for the public good - so the accused is certain to have representation, even if he or she cannot afford an attorney.
Criminal lawyers are experts in the criminal justice system. They help their clients decide how to plead when first charged by the police and guide them through trial procedures. Defense lawyers must use every bit of their knowledge and resources to get their clients the fairest results from criminal proceedings.
Business Lawyer
If you are a small business owner or the head of a larger corporation, you may come into contact with a business lawyer. Many big companies keep a legal staff on payroll to deal with the daily operations of running and maintaining a large enterprise. Business lawyers may have more specific specialties like copyright law, product liability and mergers and acquisitions.
Business attorneys may focus their practices on certain industries. There are entertainment lawyers to guide artists through royalties and media contracts, while hospitals employ malpractice attorneys to protect doctors from aggressive litigation.
Employment Lawyer
When you work for a company, you may find yourself in need of an employment lawyer - especially if the relationship between you and your employer sours. An employment attorney prevents people from losing their jobs due to unfair reasons. Workers' compensation lawyers help maintain safe employment conditions and ensure workers receive fair compensation after workplace injury or discrimination.
Finance Lawyer
A personal finance attorney can protect and manage your investments and securities. You may use a finance lawyer to help you prepare your taxes, but you might be better off working with an accountant. A tax attorney is more commonly contacted after a business or individual runs into trouble with the IRS or state regulators.
Real Estate Lawyer
Your family may keep a lawyer on retainer to guide you through the major expenses that come up in life. When buying a home, you could work with a real estate lawyer to make sure you get the best deal and won't get taken advantage of by tricky mortgage agreements or unfair landlords. An estate attorney can help you plan for the worst by creating a will and preparing your finances for after your death.
Bankruptcy Lawyer
A bankruptcy lawyer is essential to help you resolve your financial difficulties when they start to spin out of control. Certain attorneys help create strategies to bring you out of debt and speak to your creditors. A lawyer can advise you on which type of bankruptcy you should file for.
Civil Lawyer
If you are suing someone or being sued, you need a civil lawyer. Civil attorneys - and criminal lawyers - are the legal representatives who argue on your behalf in a courtroom setting. Civil lawyers may represent you on matters of business, finance or a wide variety of other specialized needs.
One of the most common types of civil attorneys is a personal injury lawyer. When you're hurt by an outside party and you would like to hold them legally responsible, a personal injury attorney conducts litigation and negotiates settlements to compensate for your pain and suffering. Sometimes many wronged people will join together with a single civil lawyer or law office to form a class action lawsuit.
Family/Divorce Lawyer
Most people will turn to a lawyer during a divorce to navigate the emotionally charged legal proceedings. A divorce attorney can assist in determining grounds for separation, division of property and custody of children.
Family attorneys deal with much more personal matters. If you're getting married, a family lawyer can help you prepare a prenuptial agreement or other family planning paperwork such as adoption or inheritance documents.
To ensure you find a competent attorney who won't abuse your trust or drain your finances, you have to make the proper inquiries. There are several questions you should ask, but the majority will fall under three general topics:
Training and Experience Questions
One of the best ways to determine quality is to examine an attorney's history. When you first step into a lawyer's office, you should check for the appropriate certifications and diplomas. You have to ask how long he or she has practiced law and request information that demonstrates the practice's success. Look for precise details such as percentage of cases settled out of court.
Once you inquire about the broad details of their legal career, you should ask questions about their experience that pertains to your specific issue. You should ask how many similar cases they have handled and if they have special skills or training that applies specifically to your needs. Lawyers can't mention clients by name, but you should ask for basic details about identical past cases.
Financial Questions
You need to ask about every possible fee that will come up when working with an attorney. You should request a list of all costs in advance so you won't be surprised by additional expenses like overhead. Also determine exactly when you will start being billed. You want to inspect paperwork carefully. If the attorney charges you for his or her experience, you need to make sure he or she will perform tasks personally and not hand it off to an assistant.
Find out if the attorney has a flat fee or charges by the hour. Many civil lawyers work on contingency. Whatever the payment plan, make inquiries about how the lawyer plans to provide service for your money and what you can do if you start to feel unsatisfied with his or her performance.
Lawyer/Client Relationship Questions
When you hire a lawyer, you're agreeing to work with someone over a certain period of time. You need to ask questions about how the attorney will communicate with you and what responsibilities you hold in the relationship. The attorney should let you know the best channel for quick communication and you need to inform him or her when you want updates.
You should also ask questions to get to know the attorney as an individual in order to ensure this is a person you can trust. Ask about their legal philosophy and how he or she views the lawyer/client relationship. Great questions to start off with are ones that will make your life easier, such as how to keep fees down or what daily disruptions you should expect from a long legal battle. The more forthcoming the lawyer appears to be with individual needs, the better.
You may keep a lawyer on retainer or you could turn to an attorney during specific situations. Here are some common reasons people begin seeking legal representation or advice:
You Know Your Limitations
If you sign documents and you come across a word you don't recognize, you need assistance. You may need a third party to help you navigate important employment or real estate paperwork. It's essential you fully understand the terms of any legally binding documentation or activity you become a part of. If you are not an expert in a given field, you'll want to hire an attorney who is.
A lawyer may find legal implications or opportunities you might miss. If you find yourself in a civil or criminal matter, a proper attorney ensures you don't receive a harsh punishment for a small mistake.
You're Facing an Important Event/Decision
When making decisions critical to your financial stability or personal life, you may want a lawyer with expertise in your situation to make sure you do everything you can to arrive at the proper resolution. This is especially true when you become involved in a criminal case and your freedom is on the line.
It's not just a matter of legal knowledge; lawyer's have access to numerous resources you do not. They have staff ready to work around the clock and experts in a variety of fields to give your important issues the attention they deserve.
You Can't Be Impartial
During times when personal matters intersect with legal proceedings, you may need to have an advocate to prevent your emotions from getting in the way of level-headed thinking. For example, divorce lawyers can mediate a heated argument and help both partners get on with their lives.
Emotional investment could be subtle. You may want to have a lawyer look over an investment opportunity that looks too good to be true or investigate the merits of a possible civil suit when you feel wronged.
You're Out of Options
Many people turn to lawyers when they are in trouble. If you've been accused of a crime or are in a terrible financial situation, you can find an attorney who will work with what you have available to assist you as you deal with your problems.
Personal injury lawyers find solutions for people who can no longer work under their own power and bankruptcy attorneys prevent people from giving in to debt. If you find yourself in a situation where you can't find a solution, a lawyer may be able to offer the counsel you need.
When it comes time to choose a lawyer, you should start by searching close to home. While you probably don't want the conflict of interest that comes from being represented by a family member, friends and loved ones can recommend lawyers who served them well in the past. If you do have attorneys you are familiar with, ask who they believe would be best for you.
After going through personal references - especially from individuals who had similar needs - you should broaden your search through public information resources. You can call your area's attorney referral service or check legal organizations like Martindale-Hubbell. There are other resources available online. You should check websites for client reviews and other third-party forms of approval.
When you build a list of possible candidates, perform a background check on each one. See if you can find information on their history and success record. Once you find a possible lawyer, you should call to arrange a consultation so you can ask your important questions in person.
By performing the necessary research and taking every available precaution, you can narrow your search to the attorney most suited to your needs.
