Find Hostels all over the World
Singapore F1 2009
25 26 27 September 2009
Singapore is a beautiful island-city on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. Not only is Singapore a wonderful place to visit for its amazing scenery and diverse cosmopolitan atmosphere but for the second year running it is a host to the Formula Grand Prix.
The very first Singapore Grand Prix took place last year in September, the circuit ran through public streets all around the Marina Bay. The race was particularly special as it was also the very first Formula One to take place during the night and as well as that the first street race for Formula One in Asia. Of course, it was a complete sell out, with more than 100,000 watchers, the race was filled to its capacity!
Across the world an estimated 110 million people watched the grand prix on television. This year's 2009 FORMULA 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix is taking place from the 25th until 27th September 2009 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in the centre of Singapore.
So with lots of people travelling to see the race, you're sure to find yourself caught up in the excitement of the event as well as exporing this spectacular city.

Is there such as thing as the Bank of America USDA Loans Program?
Yes and no.
Yes, there is really a program called the USDA loan program and it is designed to help homeowners finance a home as their primary residence at the lowest possible cost.
No, the USDA loans program is not specific to Bank of America (or any other bank). There are approved USDA lenders (of which, Bank of America is one) who can help you with the USDA loans program and are approved to lend mortgage loans that are insured by USDA.
Bank of America USDA Loans Program
Sometimes the confusion happens when people first hear about the USDA loans program at a particular lender (such as Bank of America) and they think that the particular lender where they heard it is the only lender where the program can happen.
But the USDA loans program is one that most any lender who is USDA approved can help you get a USDA loan and you will be just fine. In fact, because there are so many lenders who can do the USDA loan, it makes sense to shop among various lenders who can possibly help you and find out who can give you the best deal on the USDA loan that you are seeking.
Want to speak with someone who is a USDA lender and can help you get a USDA loan? Complete your information below and one of our USDA loans experts will help you find out if the USDA loan program is right for your situation.

I've been seeing this guy since January, but we've had a rocky relationship from the get-go. But everything's really good when it's good.
I love him to the ends of the earth, and he does as well.
Last week we took some time off.
He's been seeing this girl he says is just a friend. Whenever I'd bring it up as being otherwise, he'd get upset that I didn't trust him or because I wouldn't let it go.
This week we fought and it got physical.
He's never done that before. He broke down in tears, got on his knees, and begged me to forgive him.
Do I leave, or do I try and fix things?
How do I approach him with my concerns, without him getting upset?
Black Eyes
Nothing else is going to save you from this happening again.
If you stay, he can hit you again. That's the message you'll be giving.
He loves himself, most. He can see another woman, he can lash out if you ask about it, and he does whatever he wants.
A rocky relationship from the start doesn't get better once your eyes are blackened.
His anger is about you making him unhappy, not about hurting you.
You can't even discuss "concerns" without him getting upset.
Make a safe and private plan to leave him. His fists already said everything about your future together.
If he threatens, stalks, or pursues you, inform the police. He's abused you once and will again.
I've been with my husband for 16 years, married for 18 months now.
When we were dating in our 10th year, I was very lonely and reconnected online with an old high-school fling.
One night, while inappropriately late-night chatting with him, (huge mistake), my boyfriend discovered it.
He was heart-broken and so was I.
I'd hurt him badly and wasn't sure we'd ever move past it… but we did and later got engaged.
Recently, while I was in my husband's email, I discovered photos of girls we both know which he'd saved on multiple occasions, years after my terrible mistake.
When confronted, he said that when he was upset after numerous fights he thought that he'd hurt me by holding onto these photos.
I don't know if just having those pictures was all that it was – or if there's more to it.
This is killing me.
I know I hurt him so bad in the past and I want to believe him because he stuck by me.
How do we move past this and make this marriage work? Do I just forget and forgive? How do we fix this right now?
Broken Marriage
Fact check: During a "lonely" patch six years ago, you indulged in "inappropriate chatting" with a former fling.
For years, he's been saving women's photos so you could find them and be hurt.
Now you think your marriage is "broken" and you want an instant fix.
Sorry, but the obvious answer is this: Grow Up, both of you!
Relationship repair starts with sharing self-awareness, which means talking about why you felt so alone while you two were together.
Something needed to be "fixed" back then.
Instead, you've both focused only on guilt (yours) and revenge (his).
Get to marital counselling.
Learn how to talk openly to each other, to cry and apologize and air your disappointments, then work together to move beyond it all.
No matter your ages, your past is behind you and your future as a couple is only as good as you both are willing to make it.
I'm 63, a stay-at-home mom for 20 years, living with a hoarder. Our house is an embarrassing disgrace.
I never have family over. My kids are enraged with me because I "allowed it."
We're going bankrupt with his shopping for things he wants.
He made a very good living and spent every dime.
I want to leave but can't financially manage on my own.
I'm depressed but there are long waits for affordable counselling.
Dying On My Feet
There are associations that help people living with hoarders. Do a Google search and make contact.
They can provide the understanding about your situation which you need, as well as guidance to improve whatever's possible to adjust/change.
Hoarding is a complex disorder, greatly challenging those who live with it.
You need support and should tell your children that blaming you is totally unfair.
Some support agencies regarding hoarding, may be able to provide affordable counselling for you.
Tip of the day:
Physical abuse is unacceptable, period.

Jack Dorsey and Mayor Bloomberg officially open Twitter's New York City HQ
Just moments ago, Mike Bloomberg broke the news that Twitter has officially opened its doors in New York City. Twitter's new digs are conveniently located amid the New York's advertising Mad Men at 340 Madison Ave at 43rd Street in Manhattan.
Read Write Web's Marshall Kilpatrick reported on the rumors last month when Twitter's Corporate Development lead Jessica Verrilli announced the opening of a new Twitter "HQ in NYC." The next day, AllThingsD reported that it was not the official HQ, merely a temporary work space for the ad sales guys Twitter hired.
Mayor Bloomberg is joining Jack Dorsey at Twitter NYC to celebrate NYC tech and remember Steve Jobs. You can watch the opening live here.
This morning, we welcome Jack Dorsey to New York City, and hope the concrete jungle of media frenzy and advertising savvy is everything Twitter needs and more.

Membership in the Nashville LGBT Chamber of Commerce is one of the most professional and consistent methods to show potential customers, clients, employees, and suppliers that a business, company, or organization is LGBT- friendly.
The Nashville LGBT Chamber of Commerce advances common business interests, economic growth, and equality in the workplace and society for its LGBT members, businesses, and allies by providing educational, networking, and community building opportunities.
Regularly throughout each year we provide networking opportunities for our current and prospective members:
Some of the topics discussed or taught at our events and educational workshops include:
Our membership dues help fund the needed programming to further the mission of the Chamber. We have experienced a continued increase in membership, which only strengthens our commitment to expanding our services and benefits to our members.
While most of our programs are free for members, we charge a nominal fee for non-members.
The LGBT demographic, on average, is loyal, influential, and has more discretionary spending per capita. LGBT Chamber events give sponsors the opportunity to target the LGBT market and appeal to a broader audience at the same time for one price.
We would never be able to have the LGBT Chamber growth continue without the endless dedication of our volunteers. They give of their time and knowledge to help build the foundation of this organization. We welcome everyone's' expertise and experience. If you would like to become involved in any capacity, please contact us at www.nashvillelgbtchamber.org.

May is almost here so what better time for an Urban Monroes update? May, being the heart of spring, means renewal and rebirth; new flower blooms, new trees blossoms, a new CD... Ah yes, Mother Nature in all her glory. New in May will be the Urban Monroes latest CD CD Appaloosa Daydream with the cut "Never My Love" going out on Poetman Records Radio Sampler that month. On Feb 8th the Urban Monroes released the single "Never My Love" making it available to DJ's at Airplay Direct. Now, some of Urban Monroes' videos are also going to be featured on the Mountain Folk TV Show out of Pennsylvania. Mountain Folk has been on the air in one form or another for over 30 years. Unless you are in PA you won't be able to view it on TV but you will be able to see it on Youtube. The band is very excited about being on the show. It's always nice to be on TV and not have to worry about stepping on the Blu-Ray player. Check the feed on the front of the band's webpage www.urbanmonroes.com to stay informed.
On Feb 8th the Urban Monroes released the single "Never My Love" making it available to DJ's at Airplay Direct. With Valentine's Day coming, love is in the air and it does seem a timely release. Though it wasn't originally planned to coincide with the 14th, a bluegrass love song that doesn't end up with a murder in it is a nice touch for the heart-felt holiday.

The National Fund for New Musicals will award three separate grants annually to non-profit NAMT member theatres.
The Early Collaboration Grant, which will be up to $3,000, will "support a writer residency at a theatre with the goal of creating a draft and a few songs of a new musical," according to a press statement. NAMT's Project Development Grant will provide up to $6,000 to support a workshop or reading of a new musical. The Production Grant, which ranges from $10,000-$20,000, will support a full production of a new musical at one or several theatre companies.
In a statement NAMT executive director Kathy Evans said, "We are thrilled to launch this very exciting initiative, which we believe could have a major impact on the field. In the past, musical theatre writers have sometimes seen their musicals follow an unpredictable path over many years of isolated readings, without a clear destination of a full production. And for theatres, the development and production of new musicals is an expensive and risky undertaking. I believe that the National Fund for New Musicals will help more musicals flourish by supporting small, mid-sized, and large theatres in their collaboration with each other and with writers, and by helping to keep a forward momentum for a new musical's journey toward a full production."
Application details will be available on the NAMT website in November. NAMT expects to announce the inaugural recipients of the grants in April 2009.
NAMT has so far raised $100,000 for the fund, which is being supported by Stacey Mindich, the Shen Family Foundation, the Mackintosh Foundation, Dallas Summer Musicals, Theatre Under The Stars, Broadway Across America, Charlie Fink, Dominic Chianese, and the Lake Company Inc. Founded in 1985 and based in New York City, The National Alliance for Musical Theatre is a national service organization dedicated exclusively to musical theatre. Kathy Evans is the executive director for the organization with members sprinkled throughout 33 states and six countries.

Devon is a large county in the South West of England. Alternatively plymouth bed breakfast people refer to the county as Devonshire, but it is an entirely unofficial name, often indicating a traditional or historical context. The county shares borders with Cornwall to the west and Dorset and Somerset to the east. Its coastline follows the English Channel to the south and the Bristol Channel to the north.
Devon is the third largest of the English counties and has a population of 1,109,900. plymouth bed breakfast The county town is the cathedral city of Exeter, and the county contains two independent unitary authorities: the port city of Plymouth and the Torbay conurbation of seaside resorts. In addition to Devon County Council itself, much of the county is rural or National Park land. 365 square miles (950 km˛) are occupied by Dartmoor and as a result of its rural land use it has, by British standards, a low population density.
The county is home to England's only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is the Dorset and East Devon Coast, known as the Jurassic Coast for its geology and geographical features. Along with its neighbour, Cornwall, plymouth bed breakfast Devon is known as the "Cornubian massif". This geology gives rise to the landscapes of Dartmoor and Exmoor, which are both National Parks. Devon has seaside resorts and historic towns and cities, plus a mild climate, accounting for the large tourist sector of its economy.
The name 'Devon' derives from the name of the Celtic people who inhabited the southwestern peninsula of Britain at the time of the Roman invasion c. 50AD, known as the Dumnonii, thought to mean 'deep valley dwellers'. In some of the Celtic languages, Devon is known as Dyfnaint (Welsh), Devnent in Breton, Dewnans (Cornish) and reconstructed as Deunens/Deunans in (Old Devonian).
William Camden, in his 1607 edition of Britannia described Devon as being one part of an older, wider country that once included Cornwall:
It was in ancient time, inhabited by those Britains whom Solinus called Dunmonii. But the Country of this nation is at this day divided into two parts, known by later names of Cornwall and Denshire.
There is some dispute over the use of 'Devonshire' instead of Devon, and there is no official recognition of the term 'Devonshire' in modern times. One theory is that the 'shire' suffix is due to a mistake in the making of the original letters patent for the Duke of Devonshire, resident in Derbyshire. However, there are references to 'Defenascire' in old English texts from before 1000AD, which translates to modern English as 'Devonshire'. The term Devonshire may have originated around the 8th century, when it changed from Dumnonia to Defensascir.
Devon was one of the first areas of England settled following the end of the last ice age. Dartmoor is thought to have been settled by Mesolithic hunter-gatherer peoples from about 6000 BC. The Romans held the area under military occupation for around 250 years. Later the area became a frontier between Brythonic Dumnonia and Anglo-Saxon Wessex, and it was absorbed into Wessex by the mid-9th century.
Devon has also featured in most of the civil conflicts in England since the Norman Conquest, including the Wars of the Roses, Perkin Warbeck's rising in 1497, the Prayer Book Rebellion of 1549, and the English Civil War. The arrival of William of Orange to launch the Glorious Revolution of 1688 took place at Brixham.
Devon has produced tin, copper and other metals from ancient times. Devon's tin miners enjoyed a substantial degree of independence through Devon's stannary parliament, which dates back to the twelfth century. The last recorded sitting was in 1748.
Devon is one of the rural counties, with the advantages and problems characteristic of these. Despite this, the county's economy is also heavily influenced by its two main urban centres, Plymouth and Exeter.
Like neighbouring Cornwall to the west, Devon is disadvantaged economically compared to other parts of southern England, owing to the decline of a number of core industries, notably fishing, mining and farming. Consequently, most of Devon has qualified for the European Community Objective 2 status, particularly around Exmoor, Bideford Bay and the Hartland Point peninsula which is somewhat cut off from industrial Britain by road and rail transport - although these areas of North Devon are only 20 miles (32 km), by boat from Swansea in Wales. A proposal, which has the backing of both the Welsh Assembly Government and the South West Regional Assembly, as well as Devon County Council is to have a year-round ferry service from either Ilfracombe or Bideford to Swansea which would help stimulate and build economic growth for both South-West Wales and the North coast of Devon and Cornwall.
The 2001 UK foot and mouth crisis harmed the farming community severely.

Blush pink and gray. Whenever I see this color palette, I am reminded of romance and femininity that is combined with timeless sophistication. It is a refreshing palette of the softest touch of pink and the classic neutral shade of gray. Whether you decide to go for the lightest hint of gray or go all the way bold with pewter or even use both light and dark hues altogether, gray never fails to make the slightest contrast – or break – to a girly palette of just all pinks without removing the romantic aura just the same.
I am quite happy to say that both these hues have made it to Vera Wang's 2014 Color Trends, stating that "pink will forever be a wedding color trend" and "gray is the new black".
photo source (from top left) : Heart chair decor, Romantic bride, Laduree macaron tower, Wedding cake, Pink bow tie and bout, Book table decor, Elegant pink and gray set-up
I am just quite taken at how pretty this chair decor is. The wood adds a rustic touch to this rather elegant and formal color palette. And of course, this macaron tower from Laduree is just divine and heavenly. A perfect wedding cake alternative, I must say!

Founded by Douglas Quigley and Curtis Peck in 1992. We are located in the fabulous Walker's Point neighborhood.
Walker's Point is a neighborhood that lies south of the Third Ward and the eastern part of the Menomonee River Valley. Founded by George H. Walker in 1835 as a fur trading post, the area is now noted for being mostly an industrial neighborhood, with limited housing scattered in pockets throughout the area, particularly on the eastern end of Walker's Point.
These two stores anchor the only historically intact block that is left of Milwaukee's South First Street, or Clinton Street as it was called prior to 1930. Walkers Point has been listed in the New York Times as one of five foody neighborhoods of mention in the country. With nationally renowned chefs opening restaurants in this neighborhood such as Braise, Circa 1880, Chez Jacques, Purple Door Ice Cream, Blue Jackets, and the list goes on. Walkers Point is now bursting at the seams with new high rise, high rent apartments being built on First Street and condominiums/apartments being renovated on Second Street. So after an exciting day of treasure hunting at these stores there are plenty of places to choose from to have a sandwich or drink.

It is common practice to define "antique" as applying to objects at least 100 years old, although cars are considered antiques after 25 years. Antiques are usually objects that show some degree of craftsmanshipor a certain attention to design, such as a desk or an early automobile.

On the 50th anniversary of the death of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, a look back.
The following account was written by Dan Rattiner as part of a chapter for a new book he has in manuscript form to be called TRIUMPH TR-3. Printed with permission.
After successfully completing my first year of graduate school in architecture at Harvard, my professors said they thought it might be best to take that new fall semester off and work beginning in September on a construction site to learn more about the nuts and bolts of how things are put together. It would just be one semester. I could return to grad school in the spring. They got me this job with the Fuller Construction Company, probably the largest construction company in Boston at that time, working a job building an apartment house on a hillside in Milton, Massachusetts about 45 minutes by motor scooter from Cambridge.
This was to be an eight-story apartment building. I bought work boots and checkered shirts and sweatshirts. The company gave me a hardhat.
In many ways, this was a wonderful job. It was hard work. We worked through rainstorms, through heat waves. My work took place in the little construction shack at the back of the property, going over plans and the day-to-day schedules marking off the arrival and counting the numbers of all the new materials to make sure what we were getting is what we had ordered. The job was called "Clerk of the Works."
Across the street was the Baker's Chocolate Factory, and when the wind was right, our work site smelled just wonderful. I recall one very rainy day when the coffee truck came slipping and sliding up the muddy track to the foundation we were building, and we all took a coffee break. It seemed to me, and I mentioned it at the time to some of the others standing alongside that truck, that this was just about the best cup of coffee I had ever drunk. We were a dirty group of people, all sweaty and mud covered, the rain pouring off our helmets and coats, and as we held these cardboard cups of hot coffee, the smell of it mixed up with the smells of wet concrete behind us and chocolate from across the way.
Mick, a little tough guy about five-five, was the foreman who ran the site. Everyone's hard hats were metal. His was brass. An architect in a windbreaker came a few days a week from time to time to go over things. I tried to learn things from him.
On a Friday in November about 3 in the afternoon, the architect arrived and spread out the plans in the shack with me. I went out and back down to the site for a while—we had completed the basement and were now working on the first floor, and I helped out Mick. About ten minutes later, the architect appeared, walking crookedly down the hill from the shack, holding the portable telephone to his ear and weeping uncontrollably.
"Oh no," he was shouting. "It can't be!"
I stopped what I was doing. We all did. My first thought was that somebody in his family had been in a terrible accident. What was it? Mick and one of the others started toward him, but they'd taken no more than two steps when he stopped them with a vicious shriek.
"The President has been shot!" He shouted. "He's dead. He's dead."
"The President is in Dallas," somebody said.
"He's not in Dallas," somebody else said.
"He's shot in Dallas," the architect screamed, still holding the phone. "He was with Jackie. Oh no, oh no."
Reactions among the workmen varied. Some just started crying along with the architect. Others were in shock and just stood still with their mouths open. Still others were angry. Over it all was a sense of disbelief.
"I just saw him on Saturday!" I shouted. "He was here, at the Harvard-Columbia game. Not in Dallas. He was 20 rows behind us. We'd turn and look up at him. He was surrounded by security men."
The entire crew was falling into chaos. When had this happened? Three hours ago? Why hadn't anybody called us? We'd been working three hours without this knowledge? Johnson did it. It was Johnson, he's from Dallas.
Mick turned to face us. "No more work today," he said. "Go home. I'm going home." He then turned away.
I trudged up the construction site, got on my scooter at the shack, and headed down the hill and through the small downtown of Milton. For the next half hour, I drove past cars bumper-to-bumper in traffic jams, the people inside the cars side-by-side in their two lanes, shouting at one another, honking their horns in anger, and then shouting and cursing at me as my Lambretta buzzed along carefully through the slots between the lanes, so fearful I would fall or be accosted as I short-cutted my way back to Cambridge. They'd never cursed at me before when I'd run the slots. Now, they'd see me coming along the white lane lines in their rear views, wave a fist out the window, and then whatever else they said I couldn't hear because I was down the way and gone.
I was very concerned I would not make it home. But I did.
Back at the apartment, I found both Tom and Bill seated in stony silence in our little living room/ single bedroom, watching everything going on on our little black-and-white TV. I pulled up a stool and joined them, and that, with a few breaks for food or drink, is what we watched for the rest of the day, into the night, and all the way to dawn.

A PROBLEM WITH VIRTUAL REALITY is that some games produce motion sickness. It's an issue that mostly happens during first-person experiences and could be a limiting factor in fledgling medium. When I heard about Time Machine VR, I was expecting something the worst. Similar games such as Pollen and even the gorgeous Adr1ft left me looking for sickness bags. Playing those games felt like looking at the world through wrong prescription glasses.
But strangely enough, that didn't happen when I demoed Time Machine VR a few months back. The team had me in an Oculus headset and I was piloting a craft through a futuristic world and then later under prehistoric sea. It was what I dreaded: a full-on VR exploration experience. But for some reason, I felt comfortable. I wasn't nauseated. How did they accomplish this?

Organizers of the Cavendish Beach Music Festival have applied to set up a campground near the festival site, according to CBC News.
The Cavendish Beach Music Festival runs from July 7 to 11 in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island.
The campground would be the size of 10 building lots and would accommodate 80 to 100 campsites, complete with an access road, hook-ups and a washroom facility.
Jeff Squires, a spokesman for the festival, said the campground would help event staff.
"What we're finding this year is we've been inundated with the demand for people who want to put their fifth-wheel (trailers) and their RVs close to the site because they are working there for a week to 10 days," he said.
Squires said the campground would be used by people working at the festival, with leftover spaces made available for the public to rent.
The property would have to be rezoned for the campground to go ahead and there are plans to use it beyond the festival weekend.
While some people in the area have no problem with the campground proposal, other neighbors expressed concern.
Norm and Paula Hansen have a cottage near the site.
"Having a campground there with 100 sites would create a lot of problems, I think. Just young people drinking and partying," Norm Hansen said.
"I think once it has been rezoned, then anything goes there and we're going to have some problems down the road and we did not buy this property with that in mind," Paula Hansen said. "We thought it was cottages only going up there. That's what we were told."
A public meeting on the rezoning application will be held on June 2.

Student learning
Beware of Snow Snakes! By Ellen J. Williams
I just finished writing my part of a chapter that focuses on setting Expectations in Real Time for our new book, Rave Reviews: Coaching for the Big Eight! Real Time Expectations are those transitions that occur between activities or within lessons. These transitions include closing one text book and getting out another, moving from one location in the classroom to another, formatting a paper in a certain way, and so forth. So what do Expectations in Real time have to do with Snow Snakes?
During most of our married life, you could find my husband and me charging down one of Utah's great ski slopes on weekends. Once in a while, for some unexplainable reason, we would crash into a chaos of skis and poles. If we couldn't figure out why, we'd shrug our shoulders and say it was a snow snake. If teachers do not manage Expectations in Real Time, the classroom can crash into a chaos of student call outs, side conversations, and just pure nonsense – turning a transition that should have taken 30 seconds into five frustrating minutes of wasted time. Setting Expectations in Real Time are snow snakes for many new, and some veteran teachers, who are not aware of the importance of setting clear expectations when a change is about to occur between or within lessons. Thus, these teachers are mystified at what causes chaotic transitions and how to make them more seamless and effective. And this is where my epiphany comes in.
As I wrote about Expectations in Real Time, I thought about what master teachers did that resulted in smooth efficient transitions between and within lessons. I realized that they answered five questions that fall into two categories:
Creating Clarity for Self
- What do I expect my students to do?
- What will it look like and sound like if they do it perfectly?
Creating clarity for Students
- What might I say to help students clearly understand what to do?
- What might I do to increase clarity for students?
- In what ways might I let students know what they are doing well so they will be motivated to meet Expectations in Real Time?
Master teachers answer these five questions nearly simultaneously. Teachers who may wish to strengthen their Expectations in Real Time will need to approach this process more deliberately and take more time to complete this thought process initially, but the pay off over time is worth it. By teachers shoring up Expectations in Real Time, transitions between and within lessons will be seamless, thus creating the conditions that contribute to optimal student learning and greater job satisfaction.

September 11, 2015
My day of travel is almost over. I'm currently at Medina airport, waiting for everyone's luggage to show. The flight over the desert was amazing. The flat, sandy plains almost instantly gave way to dark red hills, with cuts where ancient rivers used to run… Razor-back hills crest out of the sand, like the backs of ancient dinosaurs. Rows of mountains pervade the landscape. I didn't have my camera on me, so the sights are preserved in memory only. Perhaps, sometimes, that's the way it should be.
The sparse dots of greenery reminded me of the BBC doc "Human Planet", which showcased the lives of people that live in extreme climates. One of the communities maintained an orchard in the desert. Here, among the harsh and unrelenting but beautiful desert, it's easy to be why God refers to Gardens of Paradise; or the story of the two men, one of whom had two dense, beautiful productive gardens, and the other who had none. The rich gloried in his arrogance, despite warnings from his friend not to be boastful and proud. The man didn't think God would take him to account. And so his fruitful gardens were brought to ruin.
Out here, that wouldn't just be a minor inconvenience. Your entire livelihood would be wiped out. All you would have left is just sand and dust.
I grew up in Alberta, a province with a spectrum of geographical features. My summers were often spent in the Rocky Mountains in the west; occasionally, my Dad would take me to the desert-like badlands to the south; and dotting the province are rolling plains and thick woods and wide lakes. The only place I haven't been is the forests in the north. And yet whenever I set foot outside of the province, I'm always fascinated at the wide variety of landscapes that exist on our planet. That's why I requested a window seat on the flight to Medina.
Flying over the desert in Saudi Arabia was thrilling. When you hear "desert" you think of a wide, barren expanse of yellow sand. But the terrain around Jeddah, Mecca and Medina is red and brown and surprisingly rocky. I spent much of the last hour of our flight just gazing out the window at the terrain below. I marveled at the thought of ancient Arabs traversing the landscape on foot or by camel, having to wind through the crags and valleys of rock that jut up from the sand. Later, when we were on the bus from Medina to Mecca, I remember seeing long mountain ranges stretching into the dusty horizon, and long stretches of land that dipped and curved into the distance. Mecca itself is surrounded by mountains, and even within the city limits there are roads that wind around or up large rocky hills.
This landscape also highlights the hard life of the desert. I touch on this in a later entry, but I came to respect the sanctity of such life-giving things as water and agriculture. In Alberta, I'm constantly surrounded by farmland and greenery and water. But out in the desert, a date palm grove or an orchard is comparatively rare. To see something green among the red and brown is like a sign of life. And with so much riding on the success of your crop, I can only imagine how devastating it would be to lose all of it.

(Pocket-lint) - With LG and other manufacturers extolling the benefits of OLED over LED television technology, and specifically how thin OLED TVs can be, Samsung has shown a concept set that proves that LED can also have a super slim footprint.
It doesn't have a name at the moment, simply being called the Ultra Slim SUHD TV concept when we saw it at a television preview event ahead of the Samsung CES press conference, but it gives a great glimpse into the future of the Korean company's tech.
The 65-inch curved screen has a 4K resolution and is almost bezel-less. Indeed, a Samsung spokesperson described it as not having a bezel when we chatted. That's not quite correct, but it's still mightily impressive.
Other than that, little else is really known about the TV, which will not be part of the 2016 SUHD TV line-up. We suspect we're likely to see something more consumer related at IFA in Berlin in the autumn.
Until then, take a gander at our pics of the set in our gallery above. And in particular have a look at the one shot side-on. It might not be quite as slim as the LG Signature OLED TV, but it comes close. Very close indeed.

I saw Heaven is for Real today. It was fantastic. I enjoyed God's not Dead last Tuesday. I was very impressed.
After seeing both, my son turns to me today and exclaims, "Both questions I had have been answered!!"
"What questions?"
"God's not dead and heaven's real!"
I love the steady simplicity of my 11 year old man-boy.
The truth of Easter comes in many packages.
May you meet the One who loves your questions this day.
O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
Psalm 139:1-4 NKJV

How to Use Neteller?

Opening an Account
To do so, you need to visit the official website of this payment service. Then, click the Join for Free to start the registration process.
After doing so, you need to enter your email address and other details. Once you are done opening an account, you are ready to use this payment option with your online casino.

When everybody in your organization is on the same page with your quality management program, things will run smoothly. Yes, this even includes the executives. Do you recall Dr. W. Edwards Deming's 14 points for total quality management? If you don't remember, I'll refresh your memory on one; No. 14: put everybody in the company to work accomplishing the transformation. These points are as solid now as they were when Deming presented them in the 1980s.
Involve Executives in the Quality Management Process
A way to ensure that quality is on the minds of executives is to include them in the process. Using your process is a great way to do two very important things: explain to executives their new role in quality and communicate how to make quality a culture within the organization driven by them as leaders. Start by creating a risk governance team that includes at least one executive member to review and enforce the risk methodology. As with any other processes, continuously look for ways to improve the risk management process and evolve the methodology for your organization. With executive involvement, they will see the value and contribute to the process. Executive visibility and participation are key and a great way to drive quality toward operational excellence. To help paint this vision for executives, we need to show them the value of quality. Using IATF as an example, you can leverage these new requirements to bring your maturity model to the executive's attention and together, create a process to follow.
The ultimate goal of the enterprise should be that quality is inherent and is built into the process that is followed every day by everyone. This vision of using recommended quality practices as an advantage has been reviewed by LNS Research. Their data has shown that operating income of organizations using these recommended practices, on average, improved by $10 million per $1 billion. This kind of improvement should be more than enough to have executives get on board with quality in your organization.
Speak the Language of the Executives
It's great to shoot for the goal of implementing best practices to achieve operational excellence, but what am I comparing my organization to? Getting interest from executives is one step, the next is showing a comparison between your organization's current state and the recommended best practices. Try communicating this information via a maturity model. A maturity model is a quick way to visually identify where your organization currently stands versus the industry view of operational excellence. By identifying your current position on the model, this helps to visualize your starting point, and use the rest of the model to identify your journey to operational excellence.
Find the Right QMS for Your Organization
The final piece is looking for the justification of a manual or paper-based QMS versus an automated solution that provides the recommended best practices out of the box. A paper-based QMS requires many people to provide any value and is still very prone to errors. These inefficiencies end up being very costly. An automated QMS removes many of the manual inefficiencies, so an organization actually gets a reduction in costs going with an enterprise quality management system. Learn about how QAD Cloud QMS can help you with the rules and regulations of your industry, reduce paperwork and easily share information throughout your organization.
I recently spoke on this subject at the 2017 AIAG Quality Summit, download my presentation for more information on the importance of quality as a step toward operational excellence.

Laurens Taking Steps to Remove Dilapidated BuildingBy
Laurens City Council is taking steps to remove a dangerous and dilapidated building in the downtown.
The property at the corner of Highway 221 and East Main Street was taped off in May. The roof is caving in, the bricks are crumbling, glass is broken and the building is filled with asbestos. City leaders say it's structurally unsafe and a danger to pedestrians.
Cities can tear down vacant, unsafe buildings as long as they attempt to notify the owner. However, city officials say it would cost around $90,000 in taxpayer money to clear away the eyesore. If they invest the time and money, they'd like to own the property so they have a say in what happens to it after the building is gone.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld paid a brief visit to Iraq Monday to talk about plans to deploy Iraqi security forces. The visit coincided with a car bombing in northern Iraq outside a police station that killed at least 10 people and injured dozens of others.
Mr. Rumsfeld flew into Baghdad Monday morning to discuss the expansion of Iraq's fledgling security forces and meet with commanders.
He was met at the airport by top U.S. civilian administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer, under tight security. He held meetings with top military officers who are commanding more than 100,000 U.S. troops occupying Iraq. It is Mr. Rumsfled's fourth visit to Iraq since last year's war toppled the government of Saddam Hussein.
Mr. Rumsfeld flew by U.S. military helicopter to a base west of the capital where he was briefed on plans to begin turning over security to Iraqi police. He also met with members of Iraq's security forces and praised them for their work in helping to bring peace to the war-torn country.
The U.S. plans to withdraw the majority of its troops currently in Baghdad to bases outside the city from where they will provide support to Iraqi forces when the need arises.
Underscoring security concerns, shortly before Mr. Rumsfeld's arrival a car bomb exploded outside a police station in the northern town of Kirkuk. Dozens of people were killed and wounded in the early morning blast.
Iraqi police and emergency workers evacuated the wounded and were digging through the rubble, looking for survivors.
Branded by insurgents as collaborators with the U.S. occupation forces, police have become a common target for suicide bombers in recent weeks.
More than 300 people have been killed by car bombs, so far this year. Two suicide bombers in the northern town, Irbil, last month killed about 100 people in simultaneous attacks.
Mr. Rumsfeld said during a re-fueling stop in Ireland Sunday that the al-Qaida terror network was active in Iraq and was likely behind many of the attacks against coalition forces and Iraqi civilians that have become an almost daily occurrence.

|This is the serious-faced Abbey
A couple of nights ago, Abbey stuck a mega-block in her mouth. Then, she made a funny sound and expelled it from her mouth rapidly. She began laughing hysterically. She attempted to do it again, but was laughing so hard that she could barely put it back in her mouth or even stand up. Luke thought it was pretty funny also, so he joined in the fun.
Perhaps I should just show the video:
What she was actually doing wasn't the funny part to me. What made me giggle is how she could barely even stand up or perform the action again because she was laughing so hard at herself.
Here are some recent photos I took with my phone of our girl being her silly self.

There's a lot of banter about the 'Male Menopause' or the 'Andropause', but it's not so funny when it happens to you.

Bio-Identical Hormone treatment restores the hormone imbalance and is tailored to your particular symptoms. They can be prescribed for external or internal use and patients get significant results:
Improved mental sharpness. At a certain stage of life forgetfulness seems to come along and, no matter how many jokes you make about it, it can be frustrating when things slip from your memory. Bio Identical hormones will improve your acuity and make 'mental fog' a thing of the past.
More energy. If you're fed up with that 'tired and weary' feeling you can banish fatigue and be ready for anything.

If you want to be back in control of your life, feel energetic and be ready for anything life throws at you call us on 01582 762877 to find out how.
What does the Bio-Identical hormone treatment consist of?
The treatment depends on your specific symptoms and can include tablets, creams and injections. Your prescription will be developed and sent to you from a specialist pharmacy.
Is it a single treatment or a series of treatments?
Bio-Identical hormones treatment is an ongoing course of treatment, depending on what is prescribed for your particular symptoms as a result of comprehensive testing.
Will it need repeating later?
As an ongoing course a prescription is created to treat the symptoms you originally present with, then, after 6 months, you would normally come in to run a second series of tests to ensure the prescription is doing what it's meant to. Then, unless there is a major, unexpected change in symptoms, or new symptoms, you would expect to return for review and testing after 2-3 years.

NAP Gladu introduces the Vanish Series tool, designed to eliminate the problem of chip marks or chip dents that appear on the finished surface of the wood. Chip marks are caused by chips that are not evacuated and become temporarily trapped between the knife edge and the finish surface of the wood, says the company. The anti-chip mark tool developed by NAP Gladu has proven effective in the elimination of chip marks on the finished wood surface of high quality mouldings and has been successfully used on 6000-8000 RPM moulders at 40 – 60 ft/min., according to the manufacturer. Potential users include cabinetry or moulding manufacturers who are trying to eliminate chip marks, which typically occur on surfaces machined from the top spindle on the moulder.

What is more romantic than looking inside of your wedding band and seeing a personalized engraving with special meaning for the you and your spouse?
There are a few ways to accomplish this task that your jeweler will recommend and now some new processes available that increase the limits of the message that can be created.
Let us review the traditional methods most currently being used in the marketplace.
First, there is hand engraving done by an artisan engraver using a hand tool called a graver. It is not a perfect process and the results will depend on the quality and skill of the craftsman doing the work.
Also commonly used is machine engraving which is much more precise but usually limited to one row of words using up to 20 characters.
Now, a specialty process adapted to a not so new technology, called laser engraving, has opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for wedding couples who are thinking of engraving their rings. Wedding bands are now being created with entire messages that are clearly readable and up to 225 character long. This allows the ability to write whole passages, even entire wedding vows, on the inside of the wedding bands. Currently , bridal couples are engraving civil vows, religious vows, love poetry, even Shakesperean sonnets.
This sentimental and romantic addition to your wedding bands can forever be a reminder of the commitments made, and add a special and unique touch to your wedding day.

The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television honored legendary film and television producer Jerry Bruckheimer at the opening of its month-long film festival, The Heat is On: A Jerry Bruckheimer Film Festival, over the weekend.
The month long film festival pays tribute to the outstanding contributions Bruckheimer has made throughout his career. The weekend's event included a screening of the digitally remastered Top Gun followed by a discussion with Bruckheimer and Deadline's Peter Bart. Afterwards, guests were treated to a reception which included Jerry and Linda Bruckheimer, Gore and Clayton Verbinksi, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Top Gun's Barry Tubb and many more.
The festival takes place this month at UCLA's Billy Wilder Theater in Westwood Village and is presented in association with Paramount Pictures and UCLA Film & Television Archive. It opened on Friday with the Oscar-winning action drama Top Gun (1986) followed by a Q&A with Jerry Bruckheimer. The festival will also feature other acclaimed favorites such as Enemy of the State (1989), Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), The Rock (1996), Armageddon (1998), Flashdance (1983), Crimson Tide (1995), Black Hawk Down (2001), American Gigolo (1980) and Beverly Hills Cop (1984).
Jerry Bruckheimer has produced nearly 50 feature films and is one of the most successful producers of all time. He is the first producer in Hollywood history to produce the two highest-grossing films during a single weekend, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Bad Boys II. His films and television programs have received 43 Academy Award nominations and six Oscars, 127 Emmy nominations and 23 Emmys, 23 Golden Globe nominations and four Golden Globes, and many other awards. In addition to numerous awards for his contributions to motion pictures and television, Bruckheimer is the first producer to be honored with an American Cinematheque Award, along with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and hand and footprints immortalized in front of the famed Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Stress is defined as force per unit area. As was explained in chapter 4, the stress at a point is uniquely defined by specifying the magnitude and direction of a single vector having the units of force per unit elemental area, Chapter 4, Figure 1(a). In engineering, it is found more useful to define stress at a point in terms of the direct and shear components of stress acting normally and tangentially to the six faces of an elemental prism. The components of stress are then three normal stresses σxx, σyy, σzz and three pairs of reciprocally equal tangential stresses, σxy = σyx; σxz = σzx; σyz = σzy, Chapter 4, Figure 1(b).
Plane stress loading
As stated in Chapter 4, it is possible to have a prism which is oriented in such a way that the shear components of stress are zero. The normal stresses so obtained are called principal stresses. The relationship between the principal stresses and the corresponding conjugate stresses can be obtained by considering the equilibrium of forces acting on an oblique plane which is arbitrarily inclined to the faces of the parallelopiped as in Figure1 in Chapter 4 and with direction cosines l, m and n. This can be derived more easily for a two-dimensional state of stress.
Let us consider a 2-dimensional state of stress as shown in Figure 1. It is assumed that the stresses normal to the plane of this paper are zero i.e. σz = 0; τxz = 0; τzy = 0. Consider the equilibrium of forces on the plane which makes an angle with the vertical, Figure 2.
Plane stresses in different orientations
If we divide by ΔAn, Equation 5.1a becomes
From trigonometry, we have the following identities
Substituting the above identifies in Equation 5.1b and rearranging we have
Considering forces parallel to the inclined plane we have
Dividing by ΔAn gives
Using trigonometric identities we have
Differentiate Equation 5.1c with respect to θ
This is the plane at which σn is maximum or minimum i.e. the principal plane. The principal stresses represent the maximum and minimum values of all the stresses at the given point: the axes are commonly designated so that σ1 ≥ σ2 ≥ σ3.
For the plane stress loading, the Principal Planes are the two planes where the normal stress (σ) is the maximum or minimum. Usually
There are no shear stresses on principal planes.
The two planes are mutually perpendicular.
The orientations of the planes (θp) are given by:
The Principal stresses are the normal stresses (σ) acting on the principal planes and are given as
Similarly it is possible to have three planes on which the shear rather than the normal stresses are at maximum. Such stresses are called the maximum shear stresses. For plane stress loading, the maximum shear stress occurs on two mutually perpendicular planes and the orientations of the two planes (θs) are given by:
The planes are related by
The values of τmax can also be obtained in terms of principal stresses using equation 5.2
For a 3-D case, the principal shear stresses are given by
The angular distortions on the planes of maximum shear are
Problem 5.1: Stress at a Point.
The principal stresses on a prism of soil are 20 kN/m2 and 12 kN/m2. Determine the normal and shear stresses on a plane which makes an angle of 30o with the horizontal plane.
Using Equation 5.1c we have
Similarly Equation 5.2 gives

Q: What about for the Blu-ray - couldn't you just re-do the color with today's technology?
A: No, the same situation exists in that environment. You can't really successfully pump a color into a film that isn't there. There were attempts, to some degree, to put more red into that scene on older transfers of the film (the most recent almost ten years ago, and without talent involvement) and you can see those results in DVDs that were released. There is more red than should be there, but the red is everywhere, in the walls, clothing, skin, hair, etc., and that is what happens when you try to force a color into an image that really isn't present. This Blu-ray release is actually closer to what it looked like in 1976 than any previous home video release, and not just for the color. The well-know "you talkin' to me" scene, for example, was seriously cropped on older editions. All those shots are actually from the camera looking at his reflection in the mirror, not straight on of him while he talks, and they cropped out the side of the mirror and zoomed in to the point where he had slightly more headroom, but you could barely see the gun he's holding. We don't agree with that kind of framing manipulation, so we framed it properly for 1.85 SMPTE standards for projection and now you will see the image as you would in a theater, which is the way it should be.
Q: Was the Blu-ray release part of the reason why Taxi Driver has been restored at this time?
A: It was a factor, of course, but at Sony Pictures we have had a long-term plan of restoring our library so that it can be made available and also preserved for the future. These films are coming out on Blu-ray and many more are planned. This film, for example, is getting a major re-release (major by older title standards, that is) at AMC theaters around the country that are equipped to project 4K DCPs, and I don't recall a such a wide release like that before, relatively speaking.
Q: In general, how much has the advent of Blu-ray affected the film restoration process?
A: Blu-ray is a wonderful format that allows the viewer to experience a film much closer to what the theatrical experience is like. The higher resolution in both picture and sound also means that we need to provide the best quality materials in order for the format to work at its maximum. What this means for restoration is that we can now work to provide better materials than would have been necessary in the past. Blu-ray and restoration really go hand-in-hand in that regard.
Q: So much is made these days of the use of grain or "noise" reduction in Blu-ray masters. It's a complicated topic, frankly, that I think is not well understood by most Blu-ray consumers and film enthusiasts. Sometimes the process is used to achieve a "cleaner" look in a catalog film presentation, and often it's used simply to aid in compression. What's your perspective on the issue, and how does it apply to your work on Taxi Driver and other Sony titles?
A: I think our scanning rates and workflow processes have somewhat ameliorated the issue of graininess. Having said that, though, we don't take the position that grain is an automatic "problem", and we usually just leave it alone. We are aware of all the tools for this and are open to testing them, but the use of such tools should be limited and spare. Ultimately, unless there is a really compelling reason to alter the grain (and I don't think just to aid compression is a compelling reason), we don't, and I can't really see that that decision has hurt us when it comes to reviews of our Blu-ray releases. Just the opposite, it seems. I think there are ways of mastering a film that enables you to make the best of what you have to work with and we follow that path. I really do not like the super clean, waxy look that is often the result of over-processing. It not only buries detail, but it gives the film an odd feel to it, an artificial feel, that I think detracts from the achievement of the filmmakers and is distracting to discerning viewers, all of which ultimately just cheats the audience. Most filmmakers know what they are doing with the resources at hand and our job, after all, is to replicate the vision of the filmmaker, not to impose our own aesthetic outlook on a film. People are entitled to their opinion on this subject, and lots of people have opinions on this, but we try to take a fairly authentic and neutral approach to every title - and they all differ in certain ways - so that each title looks, feels, sounds, like a product of its time and place, while trying to make them look their absolute best on Blu-ray. And, that's kind of what it's about, you know? I don't think Taxi Driver is a particularly grainy film, so there was really nothing to do in that regard.
Q: What is the downside to digital restoration, if any?
A: There can be a downside to just about any process when it comes to anything digital. Anyone one who has ever had a hard drive crash will understand that. But I think the main thing to be careful about with digital restoration - which we have been involved with at Sony Pictures for the last 20 years - is just that: to be careful. Digital tools are quite powerful and we need to be careful that we are controlling these processes and not let them control us.
Q: Can you talk about the audio restoration process for Taxi Driver? Were there any unique challenges involved on the audio side of the effort?
A: The audio restoration was completed at Chace Audio by Deluxe in Burbank, which is a restoration facility that has worked on many titles for all the studios over the years. Like with all other aspects of a restoration project, we treat the audio much as we do picture in that we plow through everything we have to come up with the best material to work from. That could be one element or more, or a mix and match of various components of different elements. For this, the best was the original mono magnetic master with split dialogue, effects and music. However, I had found years earlier the original 4-track stereo recordings of the score, on audio tape, not magnetic film, so that was incorporated into the process, all of the material going through a standard digital cleanup to remove pops, clicks, distortion when possible, things like that. In this particular case, Scorsese had his own audio experts create the 5.1 track from the restored elements that will be on the Blu-ray, created here at the Sony Studios Sound department.
Q: You mentioned earlier that Taxi Driver is also being released in select theaters in 4K. Do you think the 4K presentation will change the Taxi Driver experience for the audience in any way?
A: Digital presentations of any film are always different in experience from a film print. The image is steady, there is no variation in color from projector to projector, no scratches or changeover cues in the upper corner of the frame, no jumping in the gate. To me, lessening the anomalies inherent in the film projection experience allows one get more involved in the drama of the story. And this is from someone who loves so see film on film! This is why we take great pains to try and have our digital versions of films truly look like film.
Q: Can you talk about other classic film restorations from Sony that you're working on? What else is coming for theatrical revival and Blu-ray release? We're thinking of titles like Lawrence of Arabia, On the Waterfront and From Here to Eternity. We'd heard that the Lawrence restoration has already been completed...
A: Actually, Lawrence is not completed, yet, though we have begun work on it. It is a complicated project and will certainly take a year to complete. The 8K scans of the negative are done, so we are at least headed down that road. The Caine Mutiny is in the works, as is Guns of Navarone. We recently released a major restoration of The Bridge on the River Kwai, both theatrically and on Blu-ray, and it has been very well received. The other classic titles will find their way out to Blu-ray and I think it is just a matter of finding the right time to schedule those.
Special thanks to Grover Crisp for his time, and everyone at Sony Pictures Entertainment who was involved in the Taxi Driver restoration effort. Don't forget, the film will be released for the first time on Blu-ray Disc on April 4th (you can see the cover art below). Cheers!
- Bill Hunt
