Hi MaryHazel,
Thanks for your important point and for simplifying those test sentences. As you can guess, I was focused on people testing their understanding, not on writing crisp sentences. I like your versions.

Hello. I always enjoy your blog and email magazine. Thank you very much for your helpful lessons.
I looked up some dictionaries, and they say that "comprise" and "be comprised of" can be used in the same way. OALD, for example, shows the two examples: - The collection comprises 327 paintings. - The committee is comprised of representatives from both the public and private sectors. Could I understand from this that "Our wine team comprises devoted wine lovers." can be also written as "Our wine team is comprised of devoted wine lovers."? I am a little confused, and would appreciate your advice.

Hello Rainbow,
You will find "comprised of" in dictionaries. However, good dictionaries typically include a usage note about "comprised of." They explain that strict grammarians use only "composed of" and "comprises."
Language rules change. Some people--language purists--try to maintain distinctions and rules about what is correct.
In this blog, I typically explain what careful writers and editors prefer. If you follow their rules, you can be confident of your correctness.

Will the additional processing power required for interpolation outweigh the benefits of variable fonts?
Like many things today, especially on the web, it depends on the complexity of the computation, processing speed, rendering engine, etc. If interpolated styles are cached to memory as static instances, the related processing may be negligible. It's also worth noting that calculations of comparable or higher complexity happen constantly in web browsers without any issues related to processing (think SVG scaling and animation, responsive layouts, etc). Another relevant comparison would be the relatively minimal processing power and time required for Adobe Acrobat to interpolate styles of

when filling in for missing fonts.
But what about hinting? How would that work with interpolation for variable fonts?
Any data that is stored as numbers can be interpolated. With that said, some hinting instructions are better suited for interpolation than others, and some fonts are less dependent on hinting than others. For example, the hinting instructions are decidedly less crucial for "PostScript-flavored" CFF-based fonts that are meant to be set at large sizes. Some new hinting tables may be helpful for a variable font format, but more experimentation would be in order to determine the issues.
If Donald Knuth's MetaFont was used as a variable font model, it could be even more efficient because it wouldn't require data for multiple masters. Why not focus more on a parametric type system like that?
Parametric type systems like MetaFont are brilliant, and indeed can be more efficient, but in my observation the design results they bear are decidedly less impressive or useful for quality typography.
What about licensing? How would you pay for a variable font that can provide a range of stylistic variation?
This is an interesting question, and one that I imagine would be approached differently depending on the foundry or distributor. One potential solution might be to license ranges of stylistic variation. So it would cost less to license a limited weight range from Light to Medium (300–500) than a wide gamut from Thin to Black (100–900).
What if I don't need or want these fancy-pants variable fonts? I'm fine with my old-school static fonts just the way they are!
There are plenty of cases where variable fonts would be unnecessary and even undesirable. In those cases, nothing would stop you from using static fonts.
Web designers are already horrible at formatting text. Do we really want to introduce more opportunities for bad design choices?
People said similar things about digital typesetting on the Mac, mechanical typesetting on the Linotype, and indeed the whole practice of typography back in Gutenberg's day. I'd rather advance the state of the art with some growing pains than avoid progress on the grounds of snobbery.
Tributes paid to the former dancer and choreographer whose West End hits included The Phantom of the Opera
Womens Straight Jeans Cecil New Styles Sale Online Q3K1jbtD
Gillian Lynne, the leading British choreographer who created the slinky moves of Macavity, Grizabella and other feline stars of the West End hit Cats, has died aged 92. Lynne, who worked on more than 60 shows in the West End and Broadway, had a long-running collaboration with the composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and choreographed The Phantom of the Opera and Aspects of Love. The composer paid tribute to her on Twitter, saying: "Farewell dearest Gillie, three generations of the British musical owe so much to you."
Choreographer Matthew Bourne tweeted that Lynne "supported and inspired me from the very beginning … [her] spirit and love of dance and dancers lives on in all of us". The actor Bernadette Peters also paid tribute, writing: "RIP dear Gillian Lynne. Your talents created so much joy for us all."
Last month, Lynne became the first woman to have a West End theatre named after her when Lloyd Webber renamed his New London theatre. In a ceremony to mark the event, she was carried to the stage on a golden throne, surrounded by dancers from Cats.
Lynne started out as a classical ballerina and was a leading soloist at Sadler's Wells Ballet as it became the Royal Ballet in the postwar years. She danced at the London Palladium, choreographed her first film and her first ballet in the early 60s and became a prolific director and choreographer for the stage. In film, she acted with Errol Flynn on The Master of Ballantrae, and choreographed for Barbra Streisand on Yentl and Tommy Steele on Half a Sixpence. Her television credits included The Muppet Show and

, a ballet about the life of the painter LS Lowry, performed at the Palace theatre in Manchester and broadcast on the BBC. It won a Bafta award for best TV arts programme in 1987.
Cats, an adaptation of TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, produced by Cameron Mackintosh, opened in 1981, and won her an Olivier award. It became one of the longest-running West End shows in history. By the time it closed, 21 years later, it had been performed around 9,000 times.
Lynne received a special Olivier award in 2013 and was made a dame in 2014 for her services to dance and musical theatre. She died on Sunday at the Princess Grace hospital in London. "She leaves behind a huge legacy and was adored by many," said the actor Peter Land, who she married in 1980. Theatres across London's West End will dim their lights at 7pm on Monday in her honour.
Ryan Heffington is an experienced choreographer whose credits include the videos for Sia's "Chandelier" and Arcade Fire's "We Exist." But a couple of years back, Heffington could never have imagined that he would wind up overseeing the movement of actors in an action movie, specifically Edgar Wright's just-released crime thriller, Baby Driver . "Six months ago, I didn't think I'd be doing this at all ," Heffington told Entertainment Weekly on the movie's Atlanta set last year. "But it's been so interesting. It's a shoot-'em-up film — cars crashing, killing people — but it's choreographed, but with a straight face."
Baby Driver stars Ansel Elgort as a tinnitus-stricken getaway driver who listens to music to drown out the ringing in his ears. A huge amount of action in the film, big and small, occurs in time to the tunes chosen by Elgort's Baby, hence the need for a choreographer on the film, which costars Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm,Eiza González, and Lily James, among others. "There are certain dance elements in the film," says Heffington. "But the timing is essential to a lot of the scenes, whether it's a fight scene, or a car chase scene, or general street movement when it comes to extras. The whole scene tends to be timed out, so that's been my job."
When Heffington was first approached about working on the film, he was unfamiliar with the movies previously directed by Wright, whose credits include the comedies Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz . "I researched [Edgar] after I had my first interview," says the choreographer. "I tend to take on projects that I haven't done before, or are experiences I haven't had before. I thought,'I don't know what this choreography is going to be like, or how it's going to fit into the film,' but I was so intrigued by the script and the action, I couldn't put it down. I was like, 'Okay, there's no way I'm not going to do it. It sounds like a really cool adventure.' And it has been. Edgar isgreat to work with and he's so meticulous. I mean, he knows my choreography better than I do. He knows everything . I mean, most directors do, but not to this degree."

WASHINGTON (AP) — A group backing President Barack Obama's agenda will air a national television ad bolstering Obama's economic vision just as the president strives for an edge in looming fiscal fights this fall.
Organizing for Action, a group formed out of Obama's re-election campaign, is launching the ad Friday and says it will air on cable TV stations for about two weeks.
Although the group is officially independent of the White House, Obama is the sole speaker in the ad, which uses clips from his economic speech Wednesday in Galesburg, Ill. That's where Obama kicked off a months-long attempt to spotlight his efforts on the economy and the middle class.
"Thanks to the grit, the resilience, the determination of the American people, we've been able to clear away the rubble from the financial crisis," Obama says over a montage of images of factory workers, solar panels and students. "But we're not there yet."
Obama calls for a long-term strategy to replace short-term thinking: less economic inequality, a higher minimum wage and better access to pre-school. All are repeats of ideas the president long has been promoting.
Organizing for Action isn't disclosing how much it's spending on the ad campaign. But the ad — the group's first to address an issue other than Obama's health care law — comes as Obama is hoping to stockpile momentum before expected showdowns with congressional Republicans over federal spending levels and the nation's debt limit. Republicans staunchly oppose Obama's approach to resolving those key issues.
With limited dollars and a smaller footprint than Obama's 2012 campaign, Organizing for Action is struggling to stay relevant and prove it can effectively strengthen the president's hand in policy debates. The group has sought to rally public support for gun control, which stalled in Congress, and an immigration overhaul, which faces major obstacles in the House after winning bipartisan Senate approval.

Cabo Wabo Tequila is made from 100 percent Blue Weber Agave grown in the lowlands of the Mexican State of Jalisco. The distinction between agave grown in the lowlands versus the highlands is important because lowland agave tends to carry more earthy and vegetal flavours into the final distilled Tequila than Agave grown in the highlands. Interestingly, the founder of Cabo Wabo Tequila is rock musician Sammy Hagar, and his Tequila was apparently named after the nightclub he owns in Cabo San Lucas.
The Cabo Wabo Reposado was the first Tequila that I reviewed. Although it is two years later, I went back to this Reposado recently making a few cocktails and polishing off the contents which I had been slowly sipping on over time. (It takes me a while to finish a bottle as new bottles are constantly arriving in my review queue.) I decided to republish my original review with a nice cocktail suggestion added.
Here is an excerpt from the review:
"… This is spicy with lots of citrus. The spice is hot, more like pepper than cinnamon. The citrus notes taste like fresh squeezed lemon and/or lime. It's hard to be specific as the punky agave flavour masks other notes to some degree. I feel a little oil on my palate. As everyone knows, tequila bites hard, but in spite of the hot citrus and punky agave, this has a milder bite than other tequila I have tried …"

Please enjoy the review and my cocktail suggestion, Pale Gray for Guilt!

"A master can tell you what he thinks of you. A teacher though awakens your own expectations."
~Patricia Neal
A good teacher provides two levels of expectations. One is for the expectations of the program, course or assignment. Letting students know exactly what you expect from them gives them a roadmap for the item (program, course or assignment) and if followed, should navigate them towards a successful goal. This is accomplished in a letter (such as the syllabus), in reviews during seminars and on paper with feedback. My best advice for successful student papers is to provide a rubric of what the assignment calls for handed to the students at the same time the assignment is assigned.
The other level of expectations is to motivate the student(s) so that he or she aspires for the best. With guidance, encouragement and constructive feedback, the teacher helps the student to realize his or her potential and, hopefully, limitless possibilities. My best advice goes beyond the "sandwich method" by providing additional resources or suggestions for further study and challenging/inspiring the student to stretch themselves.
A good resource and support for the idea that setting out expectations is one key to student success can be found in Vincent Tinto's (February 2011).
If you have a suggestion for a speaker or workshop topic, please let us know. Use the Suggestion Box on our website.

Car won't start but Johnson still wows school kids
EL CAJON, Calif. (AP) — Ready to thrill a few hundred school kids, Jimmie Johnson hopped into a replica of his No. 48 car to fire up the engine.
The battery was dead.
He and some members of his group tried to bump start the car. That just bashed in the show car's bumper, led to some odd grinding noises and the car started leaking oil.
Undaunted, the NASCAR star jogged through the parking lot to the grass plot where the kids were gathered, chanting his name.
It was an appropriate entrance, considering that Johnson was at Chase Avenue Elementary in his hometown to check out a jogging track that was built with a Jimmie Johnson Foundation/Lowe's Toolbox for Education Champions Grant.
"I thought, 'Well, since we're running around the track, I'll just run on in,'" Johnson said.
Johnson, the Sprint Cup points leader, ran a lap with some of the kids and his young daughter, Evie.
The school received a grant in 2010 to build the jogging track and install a large grass plot that has baseball backstops on both ends.
Principal Sue Geller said the area had been a sloped dirt plot. "When the rains came, there were crevices that would be great for an archaeological dig but not for exercise," she said.
"That was the reality for Chase for 60 years," she said. "We never thought we'd get any grass. We just kind of accepted it."
The school not only got a grant from Johnson's foundation, but the school district added some funding, too.
Geller found out three months ago that Johnson wanted to visit the school in this blue-collar community on the eastern edge of San Diego's suburban sprawl.
Johnson, who won five straight Sprint Cup championships from 2006-10, congratulated the kids for their accomplishments in the school's running club.
"I'm so happy that all of you are running and focused on that because when you get old like us, it will make a difference, I promise," said Johnson, who was one of four drivers who ran a half marathon before pole qualifying for the Daytona 500, which he won for the second time.
Johnson said his foundation gives about $1 million a year, mostly to schools, in El Cajon; Muskogee, Okla., where his wife, Chandra, grew up; and in Charlotte, N.C., where they live.
"It's just always fit very well with us and I'm happy to be here in person today to see the track and run with the kids a little bit," Johnson said.
Chase Avenue Elementary also received a grant from Johnson's foundation in 2009 for a sound system.
In 2010, he visited nearby Emerald STEM Magnet Middle School to visit an automation and robotics lab that was built with a grant from his foundation.
"It's so important, as we all know. As time goes on, physical education, the arts, these things start falling off the table due to budget constraints," Johnson said. "I'm happy to see that a lot of the grant requests that come in to us are around the arts and around physical education and we're trying to support those. There's such a void in public schools right now and we're just happy to make a difference. I love kids. It makes me smile from the inside out when I'm around kids, even at the race track or here at the school. They're so innocent, so honest, and I'm still a big kid at heart, too, so I really enjoy my time around kids."
Johnson had a modest upbringing in El Cajon and nearby Crest. His mother drove a school bus and his father operated heavy equipment. His dad worked in the racing community, which led to the son getting his start.
"It's nice to come back. I'm awfully close to home. I can kind of see the hill I grew up on just off there in the distance so it's really neat to come back," he said.
Johnson, who has a car dealership in San Diego, said he was a good student at Granite Hills High in El Cajon.
"I didn't get into a lot of trouble. The big carrot for me was racing. My parents were very smart, and my sponsors were, too, and I had to maintain a B average for school to have my outlet."
While in the San Diego area, Johnson will host the big fundraiser for his foundation, a dinner and auction on Wednesday night and his seventh-annual golf tournament on Thursday.

Caracas: President Hugo Chavez returned home to Venezuela on Wednesday after his latest session of cancer treatment in Cuba, as he aims to fight off the illness and win a new six-year term in an October election.
The 57-year-old socialist leader walking unaided from his plane after it landed in his home state of Barinas and he was greeted on the runway by relatives, the vice president and several government ministers.
"The socialist revolution is irreversible ... I continue recuperating," he said in a brief speech on state TV, wishing Venezuelans a happy Easter weekend and saying he was "now more Christian than ever."
His second session of radiation treatment had gone well, he said, and the results of all his medical tests were positive. He is expected to return to Cuba for a third session soon.
Flying back and forth to Havana for the radiation therapy, Chavez has been running a kind of "virtual" election campaign via Twitter and appearances on state television, while his opposition rival tours the South American country.
Very little is known about Chavez`s condition - he has had three cancer operations in less than a year - so doubts remain about the future of the man who has dominated politics in the continent`s biggest oil exporter for the last 13 years.
The opposition sees its candidate, Miranda state Governor Henrique Capriles, as its best hope of unseating Chavez at the October 7 vote. In the latest opinion poll released last month, the president had a solid 13-percentage point lead, but many Venezuelans remained undecided.

MADRID (AP) — The royal palace says Spain's king is to undergo a hip operation this week on a suspected infection that is hampering his ability to walk.
Miguel Cabanela, a specialist surgeon who flew in from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, will lead the operation on Tuesday at Madrid's Quiron hospital, a palace statement said.
Cabanela said surgery on the left hip is needed to clear up a problem that is causing the monarch considerable discomfort. It will be the 75-year-old's third hip operation in less than two years.
The king broke his right hip while on an elephant hunting safari in southern Africa in April 2012. He then had joint reconstruction surgery on his left hip in November.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Jan. 22, 2014)–A winner of the Grade I Del Mar Futurity Sept. 4, and most recently third in the Grade I, 1 1/16 miles CashCall Futurity Dec. 14, Mr. and Mrs. Larry D. Williams' homebred Tamarando merits top billing in a field of 11 sophomores in Saturday's $250,000 California Cup Derby at 1 1/16 miles.
An important component to the Golden State Series for horses bred or sired in California, the Cal Cup Derby is part of a newly created Sunshine Millions Cal Cup Day at Santa Anita that will offer fans six stakes and 10 races overall.
A 3-year-old colt by Bertrando, Tamarando is a deep closer who rallied from dead last to win the open Real Quiet Stakes at 1 1/16 miles on Nov. 23. He tried to employ similar tactics in the CashCall Futurity, but could never threaten stable mate and top Derby prospect Shared Belief when beaten seven lengths.
Trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, Tamarando zipped a half mile in 47.40 at Santa Anita on Jan. 21 and will again be handled by Rafael Bejarano, who has ridden him in his last two starts.
With three wins, a second and three thirds, Tamarando's earnings of $455,120 easily dwarf those of any of his fellow Derby competitors.
Hollendorfer will also saddle the 3-year-old gelding Life Is a Joy, who was second at 9-2 to the highly regarded California Chrome in the seven furlong King Glorious Stakes Dec. 22. Owned and bred by Hollendorfer and his wife, Janet, along with George Todaro, Life Is a Joy is winless in his last three starts, after winning his first three.
Idle since the King Glorious, Life Is a Joy worked six furlongs in 1:13 flat at Santa Anita on Jan. 18.
Second in the Derby money chase is the Art Sherman-trained California Chrome, who has banked $214,850 and comes off a career-best performance in the state bred King Glorious Stakes.
A winner of the 5 ½ furlong Graduation Stakes versus Cal breds four starts back on July 31, California Chrome had a troubled trip when finishing sixth, beaten just two lengths, by Tamarando in the Del Mar Futurity.
In his only two-turn try, the Lucky Pulpit colt was sixth, beaten three lengths, in the one mile Golden State Juvenile Nov. 1 at Santa Anita. Owned and bred by Steven Coburn and Perry Martin, California Chrome has three wins and a second from seven starts.
Well backed at 5-2 in the King Glorious, trainer Leonard Powell's Aotearoa broke a bit awkwardly and was never a factor, finishing a well beaten sixth. An upset winner of the one mile turf Zuma Beach Stakes at Santa Anita four starts back Oct. 6, the Good Journey gelding gave a good account of himself two starts back, finishing a close second in the Grade III, one mile turf Generous Stakes Nov. 30.
Although the Cal Cup Derby will be his first start on natural dirt, the Paul Viskovich homebred gets the services of Gary Stevens and would have to be considered "armed and dangerous." Aotearoa has two wins and a second from six starts.
Although still a maiden, Reddam Racing, LLC's Electric Eddie rates an upset chance. Trained by Ben Cecil, the Square Eddie colt was disqualified out of a Cal Bred maiden special weight win going a mile at Santa Anita Jan. 2 and was second, beaten 3 ¼ lengths, by Tamarando three starts back in the 1 1/16 miles Real Quiet Stakes Nov. 23.
Attentive to the early pace in the CashCall Futurity next out, Electric Eddie finished fifth, beaten 10 lengths in a field of 12. He has three seconds from seven starts.
Placed first via disqualification in the afore mentioned maiden mile at Santa Anita Jan. 2, Bob Baffert's Oh Billy Billy will again be handled by Martin Garcia. Owned by Kaleem Shah, Inc., the Unusual Heat colt drew the rail and should show plenty of early lick in his third career try.
Upstart Lucky Views was a first-out maiden winner going six furlongs versus Cal breds Nov. 17, and came to make the early running in the one mile turf Eddie Logan Stakes Dec. 28, finishing a big third, beaten a length.
A gelding by Lucky Pulpit, Lucky Views is trained by Mike Machowsky and owned by Richard Barton. He worked five furlongs in 1:00 flat on Jan. 20 and will be ridden for the first time by Kent Desormeaux.
Trained by John Sadler, consistent Public Policy, who broke his maiden as the 8-5 favorite going six furlongs Jan. 5, will make his fifth start in the Derby. Owned and bred by Herman Sarkowsky and Martin Wygod, the Dixie Chatter colt has a win, a second and two thirds to his credit.
The complete field for the Cal Cup Derby, to be run as the final race on a 10-race program Saturday, with jockeys and weights in post position order: Oh Billy Billy, Martin Garcia, 117; Life Is a Joy, Corey Nakatani, 119; Public Policy, Mike Smith, 117; Tamarando, Rafael Bejarano, 124; Lucky Views, Kent Desormeaux, 117; Aotearoa, Gary Stevens, 122; California Chrome, Victor Espinoza, 124; Awesome Return, Joe Talamo, 117; Lawly's Goal, Tyler Baze, 117; Electric Eddie, Mario Gutierrez, 117, and Better Bet, Martin Pedroza, 122.
There is a special early first post time Saturday at 12 noon. Admission gates open at 10 a.m.

In fact, the majority of dogs bred and sold for experimentation
Christian Dior Patent Leather Contrast Sandals clearance store cheap price free shipping pay with visa mPgtWsTE0
, which are considered ideal because of their docile, human-trusting personality. In other words, the very traits that have made them such loving and loyal companions to humans are the ones that humans exploitto best manipulate them in labs.
Even when legal standards are adhered to — and they often are not — thepermitted abuse to which these dogs are subjected is horrifying. They are often purposely starved or put into a state of severe thirst to induce behavior they would otherwise not engage in. They are frequently bred deliberately to have crippling, excruciating diseases, or sometimes are brought into life just to have have their organs, eyes, and other body parts removed and studied as puppies, and then quickly killed.
They are force-fed laundry detergents, pesticides, and industrial chemicals to the point of continuous vomiting and death. They are injected with lethal pathogens such as salmonella or rabies. They have artificial sweetener injected into their veins that causesthe dogs' testicles to shrink before theyarekilled and exsanguinated. Holes are drilled into their skulls so that viruses can be injected into their brains. And all of that is perfectly legal.
The horrors of the dog experimentation industryare on vivid display at Ridglan Farms Inc., one of the three largestfirms in the U.S. that provides beagles to research facilities. Located in Dane County, Wisconsin — on a hill west of Madison — the corporation, according toDirect Action Everywhere, or DxE, investigators, provides dogs to research facilities that include the University of Wisconsin, the University of Minnesota, and various colleges within the University of California system.
Last spring, activists with DxE entered a door that was ajar at the Ridglan facility in order to investigate conditions inside, document what they saw, and rescue a sampling of dogs in particular distress. What they found horrified even these hardened activists, who have seen years worth of severe animal abuse.DxE activists spent a year investigating the facility and the industry its serves, and are releasing their footage and accompanying report for the first time today.
One of the DxE investigators, Wayne Hsiung, told The Intercept, "As you approach the facility, the smell is overwhelming — exactly the same smell from a dog meat slaughterhouse in China." The first thing the investigators saw upon entering — as demonstrated by the photo at the top of this article — wasthat "the dogs are housed in huge industrial sheds with massive ventilation fans, very similar to the sheds used in factory farms." Hsiung, a former lawyer, added in an email:
Thousands of dogs are held in cages, usually 1-2 to a cage and stacked on top of one another, that are about twice the length of the dog's body. We found no facilities for the dogs to step outside or exercise.The dogs sit on their own feces and urine, unable to escape their own waste. Dogs are routinely so desperate to escape that they slam themselves against the cage walls, desperately stretch their paws through the bars, and sometimes chew on the cages.The screams of the dogs in the facility are so loud that we were forced to yell at one another to communicate, even when we were only a foot away from one another.

We have excellent instructors, and we offer 7 practices per week. See our times and location below.

I highly recommend this company if you want to get yourself a perfect dog. Mushu has brought such joy into our lives and has blended perfectly with our other pets. He is four months old now, and is
adored by all. However, the other consideration is who you are buying your puppy from. My goodness...I cannot say enough nice things about the Yoder family. We got to meet Adan and Dena, but also all of their children who helped raise our little guy. Their eldest son even gave me tips to make sure that Mushu knew when he was playing too hard. I wanted to invite them back to my house for a bar-b-que they were so nice.If you are planning on getting a puppy, get on their list for sure!

Adam Lambert Covers 'Fault Magazine' Spring 2012
Adam Lambert gives a deep stare with his piercing blue eyes on the cover of Fault Magazine's Spring issue.
Here's what the 30-year-old entertainer had to share with the mag:
On choosing the album title Trespassing: "The title track serves as a great mission statement for me as an artist and for how I live my life. I also wanted to give a name to what listeners would be doing by listening to the album. They're essentially trespassing into my world, getting to know me much more in-depth than ever."
On things his fans don't know about him: "I'm a crazy hedonistic rebel who wants to liberate the masses. There are songs on the album that embrace my rock n roll spirit and my love of club culture. Yet, underneath it all I'm not always as strong and confident as I may seem. I work hard to project pride and poise when faced with judgement and heartache. That is how I cope. I feel a bit of pressure to set a certain example that suggests that I deserve my place in this industry. Im hard on myself and critical. There are songs on Trespassing that deal with that anxiety. . Until I met my current boyfriend, I was always falling for the wrong guys which caused my self worth to suffer. This is just some of what the album explores."

Was just driving along a little twolane hwy. here in oklahoma one day, delivering a unit for work some way from home.... When i looked over to the side of the road and seen this truck, had been looking for a good 4x4 for a bit. My first thought was holy %^$# big enough? I mean most of your hardcore wheelers use jeeps or full custom tube frame buggys... But who am i kidding, i mean iv had 4x4s in the past but im by no means a hardcore wheeler or seasoned pro... So i decided id stop and look at it on the way home, it had all the "right" stuff 350sb not the 305, no rust, pretty decent body, powerwindows, cruise, and of course 6" lift and 35's with good tread. I knew i would be heading back this way to pick up the unit i had delivered, so i slept on it. At first i couldnt get over how big the thing was, i mean common its like a small house on wheels and weighs over 7,000lb, Then i got to thinking maybe thats not such a bad thing... Never being one to "follow the crowd" i started looking at the pluses... What does this truck have the jeep guys dont? Storage!! lots of it and dry storage at that! Hell not oly can i bring everything i may ever need with me out on the trail i still have room to sleep in the thing if i had to! Another thing was seating, room for 5 comfortably meant all my buddys could ride too. So about a week later i was in the area called to ol'boy up that had it, drove it and it just hummed down the hwy smooth and strait... looked it over one last time, he was asking $2500 for it. However i knew it had been for sale a while and he expressed to me that he really needed to get rid of it. So i offred him $1900, and he handed me the title! =)

Brief SummaryRead full entry
DescriptionThe yellow-eyed penguin is one of the most endangered of all penguin species (3). These birds are slate grey with a white breast. As their common name suggests they have yellow eyes, accentuated by the yellow band that runs from the eyes around the back of the head (4). Males and females are identical but juveniles lack the yellow eyes and bands of older birds (2). The Maori name for these birds is 'Hoiho', which means 'the noise shouter' in reference to their shrill call (5).

(BPT) – In today's busy world, snacking on the go is a fact of life. However, delicious and balanced snacks don't need to be boring; or become bruised and forgotten items at the bottom of your purse. Here are some creative ways to spice up your snack routine and help you savor perfectly portioned and portable snacks to help maintain a balanced diet.
Remember this rule of thumb.
Sometimes it's tough to remember portion sizes for snacks when you're busy at home or at the office. The best tool to use when portioning your snacks is actually always with you – your hand.
* The size of your thumb = a serving of cheese
* Two thumbs = a serving of your favorite nut butter
* A handful = the number of nuts you should eat
* A balled fist = a serving of fruits or veggies
Add pop – and protection – to grapes.
A simple way to make grapes a grab-and-go snack is by putting them in your freezer overnight. Fill up a serving's worth of frozen grapes before heading out the door in the morning and enjoy at your leisure – no refrigerator necessary. If you nibble on them while they're still frozen they have a refreshing popsicle-like taste. By afternoon, the grapes will be thawed, but not bruised.
Make it easy to grab your favorite treat and go.
Carrying snacks in your purse can be dangerous for the other contents inside, for example, a smashed banana gets everywhere. Consider using a carrying case to keep your treats away from your phone and wallet. One option is to use a lipstick case, to bring chocolate with you when you're out and about.
"I love a little chocolate every day, so it's really helpful to have a custom carrying case that fits just the right amount for me to enjoy on the go," says chocolate-lover and do-it-yourself expert Brittany Bailey of the Pretty Handy Girl blog. "Four or five HERSHEY'S KISSES Chocolates fit perfectly in the case and are just 100 calories, or about 20 to 25 calories per piece. They are individually wrapped, so I can savor a moment of happiness or share with someone else."
In addition to a lipstick case, you can try converting a travel soap box or other container into your own DIY carrying case and add your own personal touch with stickers, decorative tape or rhinestones. It's a fun and simple way to take your favorite treats with you wherever you go.
Create your own 100-calorie pack.
Looking for something new to snack on, but don't want to pay extra for pre-packaged convenience? Try measuring granola, nuts, cereal or dried fruit ahead of time and packing them in small plastic bags to create your own individual snack packs. Don't forget to label them so that reusing the bags is easy. Making these easy grab-and-go snacks will help you keep track of your snacks, even when you're at home, and these small bites will help keep you satisfied between meals.

John Coltrane (1926-67) was the most relentlessly exploratory musician in jazz history. He was always searching, seeking to take his music further in what he quite consciously viewed as a spiritual quest. In terms of public recognition, this quest began relatively late. The tenor saxophonist, a native of North Carolina who later moved to Philadelphia, was 28 when he joined the Miles Davis quintet in 1955, after years of paying dues in the big band and combo of Dizzy Gillespie (where he played alto before switching to tenor) and as a supporting player behind saxophonists Johnny Hodges, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, and Earl Bostic.
Coltrane's anguished tone and multi-noted, rhythmically complex solos with Davis quickly elevated him to the front ranks of jazz, although some commentators were disturbed by the complexities of his style and his insistence on pushing beyond his rapidly diminishing limitations. These traits, as well as these complaints, marked the remainder of Coltrane's career. His position was quickly solidified, however, when Coltrane began recording extensively under his own name (often with pianist Red Garland's trio) and as a sideman in 1957, spent a brief yet invaluable stay with Thelonious Monk that same year, then returned to Davis as a featured soloist for the rest of the decade. The incredible technical and harmonic content of his playing at the time led to a style, described as "sheets of sound," that, by 1960, seemed the last word in chord-based improvising.
During his second stay with Davis, however, Coltrane became immersed in modes and scales, which he began to use in place of standard chord progressions in his music around the time he organized his first quartet in 1960. This group, which featured pianist McCoy Tyner, drummer Elvin Jones, and, ultimately, bassist Jimmy Garrison, became one of the seminal jazz bands, playing with incredible energy and stamina and providing a forum for Coltrane's growth as a composer. It was also the setting for Coltrane's adoption of the soprano saxophone, a move that single-handedly repopularized an instrument that (Steve Lacy excepted) had been unheard in modern jazz. The Coltrane quartet, often expanded to include a bassist and (for much of 1961) Eric Dolphy, proved extremely popular without abandoning its exploratory edge, and by 1965 was the premier group in jazz.
Coltrane still heard something more, however, and by the summer of '65 he had opened up his rhythmic and textural vocabulary further by incorporating the energy (and often the presence) of younger avant-garde players into his music. Pharoah Sanders joined the band as a permanent second saxophonist; Rashied Ali and Coltrane's wife Alice replaced Jones and Tyner, respectively; and his music entered yet another phase that generated debate regarding whether Coltrane had not once again gone too far. This final phase, while indeed filled with cataclysmic sounds, also contained music of a new and promising lyricism. When liver disease took Coltrane's life in July 1967, his legion of disciples was left to ponder what further vistas he had glimpsed in his quest for musical purity.

ProCo's Siamese Twins Cables are designed to provide quick, neat and reliable connections of audio mixers to self-powered full-range and bi-amplified loudspeaker systems, including products from Turbosound, JBL, EON, EAW, Meyer, Mackie and other professional audio manufacturers. ProCo's Siamese Twins Cables combine balanced XLR-type audio lines with specially-shielded high-current AC power cordage in a ruggedly-jacketed composite cable assembly suitable for both fixed and portable professional sound system applications.
The proprietary, multi-conductor, ROHS-compliant cable incorporates a UL-listed, PVC-jacketed, 14-gauge, 3-conductor power cable with a 100% coverage aluminum/mylar shield, with double-shielded, 24 AWG twisted-pair, individually-jacketed audio cables - all within a tough matte-black outer jacket.
Molded NEMA 5-15P Edison plug connectors are combined with the appropriate-gender XLR-type connectors to deliver both 120VAC power and audio to the loudspeaker system, or to daisy-chain from one system to the next if required (for systems providing loop-through audio and power connectors).
Standard Siamese Twins assemblies have a 36" tail for the AC input and 18" tails for the audio connector(s) at the "sending" (mixer) end, and a 12" fanout for both at the "receiving" (loudspeaker system) end. JBL EON cabinets require an additional length of AC cable to reach their power-input connector and are available as a standard product. For easy identification, the audio cables(s) are color-coded with either a white or red jacket and the ends of each composite assembly are color-coded with heat-shrink: red indicating the end to be connected to the AC outlet and mixer and black for the end delivering power and audio signal to the speaker system. Each finished assembly is thoroughly tested to assure both safety and high-definition performance.
NOTE: The picture above shows the cable as having two XLR-Fs and two XLR-Ms. This cable comes with only ONE XLR-F and ONE XLR-M.

Most often bad writing is indistinguishable from bad thinking. Sometimes, though, strong writing obscures and may even contribute to weak thinking. Case in point: today's biting and eloquent attack by the New Republic's Leon Wieseltier on what he considers to be Obama's empty if not fatuous demand—unaccompanied by any serious US actions-- that Qaddafi's violence against the Libyan people "must stop."
What does Wieseltier think Obama should actually do? Well, maybe the U.S. should deploy "the small number of troops that would be required" to end Qaddafi's rule; and if we are really prevented from doing so by our past history, then "let a multilateral expeditionary force be raised and a humanitarian intervention be launched….Europeans, Africans, even Egyptians may join the campaign." At the least, there should be a no-fly zone: "let NATO planes fly over Tripoli to shoot down any Libyan aircraft that make war on the Libyan population."
Where has Wieseltier been in the last twenty years or so? Hasn't he heard about the fate of "the small number of troops" that supposedly was going to end the civil war in Somalia in 1993? Hasn't it occurred to Wieseltier that Obama already has his hands full in Iraq and Afghanistan? What is the likelihood that Europeans, Africans or Egyptians would actually agree to form a multilateral military force to intervene in Libya if so requested—demanded?—by Obama? One percent? If they did, what are the chances that they would get there in time—say, in the next few days-- to make a real difference in the outcome in Libya?
As for a NATO no-fly zone, it doesn't appear that it would have a significant impact, for there have been very few Libyan airforce attacks on the rebels, and today's New York Times coverage of the fighting mentions none. In any case, if "NATO" was willing to shoot down Libyan planes, why wouldn't it have acted on its own by now? Is it waiting for a U.S. demand, which would then embarrass the Europeans into a military intervention? Bear in mind that in neither NATO nor the U.S. were willing to intervene militarily in Bosnia, right on the doorstep of Europe, until over a year after the Serbs had begun their campaign of ethnic cleansing if not outright genocide in the spring of 1992.
Not content with castigating Obama for his caution in Libya, Wieseltier adds Cairo and even "Tehran two years ago" to his list of Obama's "diffidence about humanitarian emergencies" and popular uprisings that we "disappointed." I don't recall any U.S. verbal diffidence towards the anti-regime uprising in Iran in 2009; on the contrary, we supported it wholeheartedly. Of course, we didn't intervene militarily, but I don't recall Wieseltier or any other minimally sane observer suggesting that we should.
Finally, Wieseltier is quite confident that there would be no anger in the Middle East over yet another U.S military intervention in the region; on the contrary, he writes, "the complaint has been…that the United States has not intervened." He does not name any states or political leaders who are so complaining.

Development Hot Fix Release Announcement: Content Matrix and Selective Restore Manager 188.8.131.52
Survey Findings Examine the Trends and Issues SharePoint Professionals Face with Upgrades, the Cloud, Migration and SharePoint 2013
Washington, DC January 29, 2013 Metalogix, the leading provider of content infrastructure software to improve the use and performance of enterprise content on Microsoft SharePoint, Exchange and Cloud platforms, today released survey findings that provide insight into the numerous SharePoint challenges faced by organizations including rapid content growth, cloud adoption and SharePoint migration. Executed at the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas, NV, November 12-15, 2012, over 100 SharePoint administrators and IT directors from large financial firms to government agencies participated.
SharePoint Content Growth
The results of the survey show that SharePoint content continues to grow at explosive rates, with 50 percent of users having over a terabyte of content in their SharePoint environment and 15 percent responding they had more than 10 terabytes of content. In addition, the average SharePoint user surveyed has experienced nearly 75 percent content growth year-over-year.
SharePoint Upgrades and the Cloud
The study showed that while 90 percent of respondents are on SharePoint 2010, nearly 40 percent are still operating SharePoint 2003 or SharePoint 2007 farms. In addition, the survey found that respondents were almost evenly split on the use of Office 365, with 55 percent of respondents electing to stay completely on-premises, while 45 percent plan to use Office 365 for all or some content. This could indicate that some adopters of on-premises technology could be too invested to attempt the move to Office 365.
SharePoint 2013 and Mobility
With the introduction of SharePoint 2013, a significant number of respondents plan to upgrade, with over 60 percent planning to upgrade within the next year. Highlighting the growth of mobile devices in the enterprise, over 50 percent of respondents listed mobile device support as the feature they are most likely to deploy in SharePoint 2013. Additional features in SharePoint 2013 that users are likely to deploy include new community sites, new MySites and managed navigation based on metadata.
SharePoint Migration
The survey also found interesting data points on the use of SharePoint itself, with respondents listing high-fidelity (maintaining metadata, permissions and versioning information) as the most important aspect of SharePoint migration, followed by pre-migration planning, no downtime and speed of moving content. The survey also showed that over 50 percent of users leverage another content repository along with SharePoint, and their biggest challenge with the other repositories is the ability to migrate content to and from SharePoint.
The hyper growth of enterprise content farms combined with the introduction of SharePoint 2013 provided the unique opportunity to understand the needs of the SharePoint community, said Steven Murphy, CEO, Metalogix. While many in the community acknowledge that content is growing rapidly, the rate of growth identified in this survey is beyond expectations and highlights the infrastructure management issues facing IT. From migrating and upgrading to the latest version of SharePoint to synchronizing content across multiple locations and evaluating opportunities within the cloud, organizations will continue to face challenges improving cost effective knowledge sharing and collaboration, unless they implement the processes and infrastructure necessary to proactively manage the growth of their content.

Independent events
News of an interesting study caught my eye today. The CBC headline was "Ontario teenagers gambling as early as age 15: survey." The study was released by the Responsible Gambling Council. Now something about the name of that organization made me uncomfortable, so I had a closer look. Their website says:
The Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) is an independent, non-profit organization exclusively focused on problem gambling prevention. Through research, the Council seeks to better understand problem gambling and ways to reduce the risks. Through information, the Council shares this knowledge. Through its awareness programs, the Council provides people with the tools to make informed choices and offers resources for those affected by problem gambling.But where does their funding come from?
The Ontario government commits two per cent of annual slot revenue from both charity casinos and racetracks to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and Ministry of Health Promotion for research, prevention and treatment of problem gambling.And their Board of Directors?
RGC is funded through the Ministry of Health Promotion. We work closely with other research and prevention organizations, as well as with agencies in Ontario that provide problem gambling treatment services.
Tim Hurson ChairI guess I'm left wondering whether the membership of an organization's board of directors has any bearing on its independence.

Update 28-Jan-2007: The full report is available in PDF: Teen Gambling in Ontario: Behaviours and Perceptions Among 15 to 17 Year Olds.
From the report's Conclusions:
Gambling among 15-17 year-olds in Ontario appears to be quite pervasive, both in terms of its frequency and mentality. However, based on the results of the present survey, it appears that only a small proportion of youth gamblers (3.9%) can be classified as problem gamblers according to a standardized measure.From the report's Methodology section:
In November 2006, the RGC commissioned Youthography, an organization that specializes in youthbased research, to administer a survey on gambling to youth 15-17 years of age in Ontario. Youthography randomly e-mailed 13,369 individuals in its database who fit this profile an invitation to complete the survey. (Individuals in this database had previously consented to receive notice for online survey research participation.) As an incentive, potential participants were told that their names would be entered into a cash draw for $1,000.Um ... 16%? As far as I can see, the report doesn't mention bias (except in connection with telephone surveys in one footnote), nor does it mention non-reponse.
Of those individuals randomly selected to participate in the survey, 2,836 both opened the e-mail and clicked on the survey link; 2,140 then completed the survey. The absolute response rate was 16%, quite high for online surveys where the typical response rate is 3-5%.

Avant loaders are equipped with a certified ROPS/ FOPS safety frame with tinted plexiglass canopy as standard. In addition, there are as many as three different cab options available.
AVANT cab L is an excellent and economical choice when the operator wants to have protection against rain, wind and snowfall. It improves operator comfort and working conditions considerably. The cab mounts on the standard ROPS frame, which means safety is guaranteed. It consists of windscreen (equipped with wiper), right side window and rear window.
AVANT cab LX provides the option of a heated cab. The cab LX has all the features of cab L and, in addition, is equipped with a door and a heater, which further improve operator comfort in harsh weather conditions. And for warmer seasons the door and windows can easily be removed if required. The optional headlight, blinker, reflector + beacon kit can be installed both on cab L and LX.
The starting point of the design of the new DLX cab was to further improve the ergonomics and driver's working conditions. The DLX cab is designed to provide best possible working conditions also in the roughest environments, from hot to cold temperatures, and from rain to sunshine. Improvements include more space inside the cab, larger windows and reduced noise levels. The much wanted option of air conditioning and air suspension seat are also now available for the new cab.

'Into the Abyss': Herzog's latest journey looks into the soul, American justice -- 3 stars
PG-13; 1:46 running time On most gravestones there's a dash between the year of birth and the year of death. The question facing us all, as one of the interview subjects in Werner Herzog 's documentary Into the Abyss" puts it, could neither be simpler nor larger: "How're you gonna live your dash?" Werner Herzog's new documentary explores a Texas triple homicide and asks: What good is the death penalty, anyway? The film is a river of pain, weirdly funny in places, as are all of Herzog's filmic essays.-- Michael Phillips Read the full "Into the Abyss" movie review

Saint Vincent College is a welcoming environment, sharing the core values of the Benedictine tradition, especially hospitality, community, love, prayer and respect for the dignity of all.
Founded in 1848 by Boniface Wimmer, a monk from Bavaria, we are the first Benedictine college in the United States. Saint Vincent College has striven to embody the ideals and character of the 1,500-year-old heritage of Benedictine education. For 170 years, the monks of Saint Vincent have exemplified and carried on this living Benedictine tradition.
Got monks? We do, and we're proud of it.
Dec. 1, 2017
Saint Vincent College will host the 8th annual Faith and Reason Summer Program, an intensive, one-week introduction to the Catholic, liberal arts tradition, from Sunday, June 10, to Friday, June 15, 2018, directed by Dr. Michael P. Krom, professor and chair of the philosophy department.
"The Saint Vincent College Faith and Reason Summer Program introduces bright young minds to the rich intellectual tradition of the Roman Catholic faith," Krom explained. "Designed to prompt students to address the questions and concepts most fundamental to humanity in the context of Catholic thought, the program offers participants an opportunity to examine these topics through seminal works that are an integral part of any Catholic, liberal arts program."
Krom said that the program is specifically designed for advanced high school and first-year college students who are seeking an opportunity to come to a richer, deeper understanding of the Catholic faith and its integration in college education. Students age 15 and older are invited to apply for admission to the program.
"Many students have difficulty integrating their education with their faith commitment," Krom continued. "Jesus Christ teaches that he is the truth who will set us free and yet often youth are afraid to engage with the questions and views that must be addressed in order to grow in their faith. The Faith and Reason Summer Program promises to help participants work through these types of challenges by means of philosophical and theological discussions."
Encouraging a life devoted to wisdom, the program features a liberal arts approach to learning. All staff are Benedictine and lay professors on the faculty of Saint Vincent. Participants will have an opportunity to explore the relationship between faith and reason, examine the perennial questions of humanity, develop their communication skills, learn how to analyze difficult arguments, prepare for college studies and integrate their moral, intellectual and spiritual development.
Each day is structured around the Saint Vincent monastic schedule of prayer and Mass. During the class sessions, students analyze and discuss selected reading passages in a seminar setting. There is also leisure time for recreational activities, movies and excursions to attractions in the Laurel Highlands and Pittsburgh areas. Housing in a college residence hall and three daily meals in the college dining hall are included in the cost ($495). Saint Vincent College students serve as residence hall directors.
Krom said that he has had great feedback from students who participated in the first seven summer programs at Saint Vincent in the summers since the program started in 2011. One student's evaluations of the program describe it as "a release … to be able to ask and discuss things … and to learn the why of the Church and Catholicism in general." As Krom said, "it was so satisfying to read the students' evaluations and realize that they grew intellectually and spiritually; that they instantly bonded with one another; and that they can't wait for next year!"
Krom added that the highlight for him personally was the hike the group took to Wolf Rocks in the Appalachian Mountains: "Picture the students admiring this natural beauty, resting their weary legs, and then engaging in a seminar on proofs for the existence of God. What better place to ask about the source of nature and its stunning beauty? As they headed back to campus, one could perceive that a transformation had taken place – that the connection between faith and reason had been made clear. Just so, when they leave the program, they go out with a sense of purpose, and a confidence that faith and reason are like two wings upon which the soul rises to the truth."
"We welcome academically-oriented young adults who are college-bound and have religious curiosity," he concluded. "In no way is it presupposed that students will be confident about their faith, but simply open to philosophical and theological inquiry. The framework of the program is Catholic but students of all religions or no religion at all are welcome. Students are also being invited from a broad geographic area."
"Young people should not be afraid to examine their religious beliefs," he said. "If I have questions, it doesn't mean that I am not a believer. It means that I see the critical importance of seeking answers to these important questions. Faith seeks understanding, and so our goal is to encourage ongoing spiritual growth as central to education. I think we will have been successful if students leave with more questions that they want to read, think and talk about."
Limited scholarship funding is available. Further information is available by contacting Dr. Krom at 724-805-2844 or email@example.com. Students may register online at www.stvincent.edu/faithandreason
Krom became a member of the Saint Vincent faculty in 2007 after earning his Ph.D. in philosophy from Emory University and his master of arts degree from Boston College. He has published works in areas of Catholic social thought and published a book on religion and politics. He and his wife, Jessica, reside in Latrobe with their six children.
