The most important American love poet in living memory, and certainly one of the most important American poets tout court, Robert Creeley was born in 1926 and raised in eastern Massachusetts. His early life was marked by two devastating losses: the death of his father in 1930 and the removal of his left eye the year after, when he was 5. In 1944 Creeley left his studies at Harvard to drive an ambulance in Burma, and at war's end he returned to Cambridge. Then, in 1947, just before graduating, he dropped out, married Ann MacKinnon, tried raising chickens on a New Hampshire farm and eventually went to Mallorca, where he and MacKinnon started a small literary press. There he found the vocations of writing, traveling, editing and, eventually, teaching that he would follow the remainder of his rambling, rambunctious and often difficult life–a life that included two more marriages, raising children, the accidental death of a young daughter and periods of settling in New Mexico, Bolinas, Buffalo and Providence. Throughout these years, he journeyed around the world to read his poems and stories and pursued collaborations with a range of artists, from Jim Dine and Francesco Clemente to the legendary jazz soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy. Creeley died during a sojourn on a fellowship in Marfa, Texas, in March 2005.
Abridged from his last poems and the two volumes of Collected Poems published in 2006–the first extending from 1945 to 1975, the second from 1975 to 2005–this Selected Poems began as a project by Creeley and his former student Ben Friedlander and was finished by Friedlander after Creeley's unexpected death. Friedlander has updated the poet's earlier Selected Poems of 1991 by including more than thirty poems from four later books. Creeley famously wrote in his first Collected Poems, published in 1982, that he felt his poems were all of a piece and he would omit none of them so as not to "miss the factual life they had either made manifest or engendered." Readers new to Creeley, or simply those who want a more portable edition, will therefore welcome this new sampling.
Because Creeley was a friend of Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso and Jack Kerouac, he was often identified as being part of the Beat generation. Yet his main early poetic influences were, to put them in historical order, Emily Dickinson, William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, Hart Crane, Louis Zukofsky, Charles Olson and Robert Duncan–the last two forming his immediate company at Black Mountain College, where he taught in 1954 and 1955. Just as important is the fact that their influences were often some of his. Creeley's early poetry shows a Poundian affinity for the troubadours and poets of the dolce stil nuovo, but his love of what might be called an English American English–the New England speech patterns that were his native legacy–can clearly be heard in his echoes of Campion, Herrick and Anglo-American ballad and song traditions. The spareness of Creeley's poems is Puritan as much as '70s Minimalist, and perhaps only a Puritan could celebrate the body and its ambivalent desires quite as well as he does. His well-known mantra "Form is never more than an extension of content," which he honed in his extensive early correspondence with Olson on issues of form and line, can be viewed not only as the outcome of a Modernist rebellion against Victorian meters and narrative structures but also as a late-twentieth-century version of the concept of organic form, which reaches from German Romanticism to Coleridge's lectures on Shakespeare to the New Criticism of the 1950s.
Often on the margins of social life, Creeley was at the exact center of a poetic tradition that stretched from the twelfth century to the present. But unlike other twentieth-century poets who wore their learning heavily, Creeley had a touch as light as a song, a touch that could only come from internalizing the whole tradition and letting it come naturally to him. Here is a proclamation from his early poem "Heroes":

Marine mammals and many species of migratory birds may be spotted in Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island Sound. In the Bay, seasonal visitors include gray seals, harp seals and harbor seals. A variety of dolphins and harbor porpoises may also be spotted. Off the coast, the North Atlantic right whale, humpback, fin, minke and sperm whales are commonly spotted - depending on currents, water temperature and other factors.

From November through April, Save The Bay offers seal watching tours aboard the education vessels M/V Alletta Morris and M/V Elizabeth Morris. We provide expert guides and binoculars for an educational view of these seasonal marine visitors.
Migratory birds also spend time in Narragansett Bay during their migration in the spring and fall, and many shorebirds come here to nest. These shorebirds include the endangered piping plover and the least tern. Raptors have made a comeback in the Bay watershed, and birds such as osprey and bald eagle can be readily seen during nesting season.
Rhode Island is also home to the endangered salt marsh sparrow, which is quickly losing its habitat due to salt marsh loss. This bird nests directly on the salt marsh, and its nests are vulnerable to flooding during high tide.
"Volunteering for Save The Bay has been much more than I expected. Mixing humor with dedication, it feels good to know at the end of the day, I did my share."

Dear Passport,
Let's just start with the hard truth. I'll be honest – I never really gave a second thought about having you. Growing up you were kind of on par with my library card – something mom made me apply for. Gripping you in my playground-stained hands at the age of 9 when I took my first trip out of the country (remember Alberta?) was cool, but I didn't know why. All I know is I've never been without you since, and the older I get, the more I appreciate you. Your wonderful leathery cover, your glossy front page, your full, colorful pages.
Confession time: Even though you are heavily-stickered, inky and slightly bent, I'll admit you're one of my most prized possessions. You might be a little nondescript booklet, but you're the gateway to worlds beyond, places I have only dreamt of, places I could never have imagined.Read more here.

Transcript of The Space Race
The Space Race Russia v. U.S. The U.S. Retaliates Luna 2 and Yuri Gagarin That same year, Eisenhower created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), dedicated to space exploration. In 1959, the Soviets launched a space probe that reached the moon called Luna 2. The US makes Explorer I, an artificial satellite. Also, in 1961, a Soviet, Yuri Gagarin, was the first human ever to orbit the Earth. Mariner 4 The Americans get a space probe that flies past Mars. Soviets Attempt to Fight Back 1970: The Soviets Venera 7 lands on Venus 1971: Soviets build first manned space station and Mars 3 drops capsule on Mars The United States, Victor of the Space Race 1973: The U.S. Pioneer 7 sent towards Jupiter. 1975: The U.S. and Soviets launched their first joint space mission. THE SPACE RACE A major area they competed in was science and space exploration, beginning with the Russian space satellite Sputnik. During the Cold War, the United States and Russia had a competition since they both were superpowers. Russia v. U.S. Sputnik Sputnik was the first ever unmanned satellite above the Earth's atmosphere. Sputnik raised tensions because the U.S. felt as if they were falling behind to the Soviets. Code Corona The US created a secret project made to spy on the Soviets and allies through orbiting satellites. The organizations involved in this were the CIA, the Air Force, and a new organization called the National Reconnaissance Office. The American Effort (Falls Behind... Again) The Americans send Alan Shepard into space making him the first American to go there. (He did not orbit) In 1962, the Americans finally orbit a man around Earth, John Glenn, Jr. They also got a satellite, Mariner 2, to fly past Mars. The First Woman Goes to Space! Valentina Tereshkova goes into space as the first woman for the Soviets. The Apollo Program The Americans began working on a new program, project Apollo. They were working to get a lunar probe to land on the moon. NASA's budget had been increased over 500% by then and 34,000 employees worked for the space exploration part of NASA while 375,000 employees worked as industrial and university contractors for NASA. The U.S. and Soviets Face Setbacks Three astronauts were killed when their spacecraft caught fire during a flight simulation of project Apollo. The Soviets lunar landing program was slowed down due to internal conflict and the untimely death of Sergey Korolyov. Apollo 8 and Apollo 11 December 1968: The launch of Apollo 8 was the first manned space mission to orbit the moon. July 1969: Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins set off on the Apollo 11 lunar landing space mission. July 20: Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. (U.S. effectively secures win of space race.) Sources: http://www.history.com/topics/space-raceFull transcript

DescriptionJoining together their voices and perspectives, Richard and Joan invite you to dive into living presence, coming home to your true self. This silent retreat is a time to notice what's always calling you from the background, beyond all other foreground preoccupations of life and mind. It's a time to allow yourself to be drawn uncompromisingly into this depth, fully opening to its solicitation. Retreat's the time to respond to your deepest longing, which is an invitation from beyond that can ferry you into the essence of well-being and authentic aliveness. It's the door that opens you into the unexpected—into astonishment, wonder, joy, and deep peace. This retreat offers you extended time when you can attune to your deepest, most heartfelt desire without the apparent distractions of everyday life. During our time together, we'll engage in sitting and moving meditation, BodySensing, BreathSensing, silence, as well intimate and spirited dialogue, all of which support realizing our innate non-separateness with all of life. The practices we engage serve to evoke and sustain both psychological integration and fully embodied spiritual awakening to true nature. Although awakening lies outside all techniques and approaches, the practices we offer on retreat can act as portals that nourish the embodiment of full awakening. It's through attentiveness, curiosity, and deep listening that self-inquiry and realization are fully supported. It's rare during our busy lives that we set aside uninterrupted time to support opening into our fullest potential as both human and spiritual beings walking this earth. Retreat is a safe environment to examine our projections and concepts about awakening, while discovering our inherent non-localization, and investigating whatever may be resisting the call home that's always soliciting our attention. We view retreat as satsang, the engagement of living truth moment-to-moment in community, during periods of dialogue, and extended periods of silent sitting, where nothing is rejected and nothing is claimed. Here we're willing to live in the unknown and ultimately the unknowable, even as we trot about in retreat from session to session, and, by extension, in the world at large. This retreat offers you an invitation to let go of all self-improvement projects, and to allow yourself to be drawn into that, which can neither be named nor objectified, but which is undeniably your living presence, your true self, which is ultimately indescribable, totally alive, and radically authentic.
About the Presenters Richard Miller's teachings are based upon a lifetime of inquiry into the nature of freedom. Following a series of awakenings, all sense of separation fell away while working with his spiritual mentor, Jean Klein. Richard experiences this awakening as always fresh, always alive, yet forever opening to itself. Author of Yoga Nidra: A Meditative Practice for Deep Relaxation and Healing, Richard is the founding president of the Integrative Restoration Institute where he leads retreats on the nature of nondual Being, as well as conducts research with the yoga nidra protocol and he has developed (Integrative Restoration – iRest) with service members, veterans, students, children, the homeless, and people experiencing issues such as PTSD, substance abuse, sleep disorders, and chronic pain. Joan Ruvinsky in 1989, after 13 years of attempts at path-finding, met Jean Klein, who, having never taken himself to be a teacher, eliminated the need to be a student, to have a path, a method, or a goal. At home in these nondual wisdom teachings, Joan shares body sensing yoga, conversation and presence at her center Pathless Yoga in Montreal and at retreats in Canada and the US. Joan has the regular approbations from Integral Yoga, Integrative Yoga Therapy, and Yoga Alliance E-RYT500. She offers satsang and the occasional seminar on body sensing, yoga history and philosophy, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, various Kashmiri Shaivist texts, and iRest® Yoga Nidra, both in French and English.

When people find out that I'm a witch, the first question they usually ask is "What about God?" Let's be clear, I believe in God. I believe that there is one all-knowing, all-seeing creator/destroyer, primary source of energy at the center of the spiritual universe. All things begin with God and all things end with God.
The problem is this; God (with a big "G") is so big and so powerful that we would be obliterated if we ever came face to face with it. It's kinda like plutonium. Plutonium may be a good source of energy but you don't want to be in the same room with it. Therefore, for us to have a conversation with it, that energy has to be mellowed. That's where the higher beings come in.
Gods/goddesses/orishas/loas/angels etc. are all smaller bits of the whole. Each gear may turn on it's own but all the gears working together turn the clock hands.
Now, what form those beings take depends on us. If you need God to show up as a large, black woman, so be it. If you need God to be a hippie-white guy with long hair and sandals, that's not a problem. If you are more comfortable having a conversation with a person with the head of a jackal and a cute miniskirt on, that can be handled too. It's the message, not the messenger.
What you have to remember is that all the higher beings are working for the same boss and the same plan ("the highest good"). Anything that isn't working for the highest good is evil by definition. There may be some confusion on how to get to that highest good but everyone wants the same end results. If you look at the myths from around the world, most of the "pagan" (multi-god) religions believed that all the deities came from one central source.

If past is prologue, this year's presidential debates could be another all-male affair. Even leaving aside the men running for office, a female journalist has not been tapped as a solo moderator of a presidential debate in twenty years—despite all the other strides that women continue to make in politics and media. That might be about to change.
A new campaign calling for "a woman moderator" for the presidential debates has drawn over 115,000 supporters online, through the social action website Change.org, and the Commission on Presidential Debates is taking notice. Janet Brown, the commission's executive director, told The Nation she knew of the petition's popularity and her colleagues "welcome" the input "regarding moderator selection."
The petition, which was started by three high school students in New Jersey, Emma Axelrod, Sammi Siegeland and Elena Tsemberis, casts the paucity of female moderators as an issue of equality. "We were shocked to find out that it has been twenty years since a woman last moderated a presidential debate," the petition notes, in reference to the 1992 debate led by ABC News's Carole Simpson. The students started the effort in conjunction with their civics class, and it is now "the largest elections-related petition" on Change.org, according to Michael Jones, the site's deputy campaign director. A related effort on UltraViolet.org, a new organizing platform for women's rights, has drawn another 50,000 supporters.
Siegel, one of the three students who started the effort, says she hopes all the support will draw the attention of the debate organizers and the candidates. "We have not gotten a response from the Presidential Debate Commission," she told The Nation, adding, "I think that the next step is to directly contact the presidential campaigns, Obama and Romney, themselves."
Jennifer Pozner, the executive director of Women in Media and News, credits the petition as a "crucial awareness-raising tool" to demonstrate that we "have been backsliding for twenty years where women in broadcast political journalism are concerned." At a recent presentation to a large media conglomerate, Pozner said that even top media executives had no idea how few women journalists have been asked to moderate the debates. "I told them it had been twenty years," she recalled, "and several thought I was wrong." Pozner believes that putting "a woman in the anchor chair in front of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney" is a symbolic and visible way to counter "decades of marginalization." Yet audience pressure could have even less impact on this issue than on media companies generally, Pozner argues, because the "debate commission is one of the least democratic institutions in America."

So if you do any pet pvp, you face undead more than any other race of pet. The undead have a great racial, lots of health and some of the best new pets including Graves and the Fragment of Anger.
The Murkalot/Graves combo is expecially potent. I have used it and can report that in 2 turns it will output 2k damage...even more vs humanoids.
I thought it would be helpful to see if people have had success beating Graves, Weebom, Ghastly kid and all the OP undead AoE
I have had fun running an h/h breed young talbuk -with 1725 hp and crouch(tough n cuddly), it lasts and 260 speed and power are enough for flurry to punish undead
The best success against me when i used Graves...the triple frogs did ok, a Little Fawn did well with a heal and hoof

The Lightkeeper's Daughters
A NovelBook - 2017
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
This is another tale related by a young person (court ordered, in this case) assisting an elderly woman with limited vision by reading journals to her. As the story unfolds, both women unlock secrets to their past lives which bond them together, even as their time spent together is causing them to grow close emotionally. The description of life as the daughter of a lighthouse keeper on Porphyry Island (Lake Ontario) was delightful, and the end was a surprise twist!
This is a beautifully written story with lots of descriptive language and imagery. The author, Jean E. Pendziwol, is skilled with her character development and it was nice to read a book set in my own province. A young teen, Morgan, has grown up in foster care with little knowledge of her family. She is put under "restorative rehabilitation" for spray painting the property of a retirement home. She must spend this time fixing what she has done. While working at the retirement home, she meets an elderly woman, Elizabeth, and agrees to read to her from some journals written by her father as she is no longer able to see. From here, the reader moves through past and present and comes to understand that there is a connection between these two ladies. Family, specifically the love between two sisters is the prevalent theme in this story. There is a huge reveal at the finale that i was not expecting, summing up some of the unanswered questions throughout the book. The story is lovely and I recommend it to others looking for an excellent read from the Historical Fiction genre.
A great story backed by the beautiful Canadian landscape and the harsh elements I know so well. The characters were relatable and engaging, even the difficult ones. I would've given a slightly higher rating if the end hadn't been quite so confusing. It shouldn't be so complicated that the reader has to re-read and trying to figure things out several times. From the comments, I see I was not alone in that respect. The rest of the story was lovely though.
This was a good read. The writing described the scenery in Lake Superior so well, it was vivid and alive. A haunting story but a good read.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters, its beautifully described setting (Lake Superior), the plot twists, and the author's ultra-engaging writing style. An emotional and moving story that I couldn't put down!
Don't get me wrong, I loved this book, but I couldn't help feeling a bit uneasy about the "borrowing" of plotlines from both The Light Between Oceans and Orphan Train. If you have read either of these you will know what I mean. It is beautifully written and held my interest right to the very end.
A good historical drama based around a family secret kept for many years and the loving bond between twin sisters. Interesting account of the isolated life of a light-keeper's family in a remote location. Beautiful, descriptive writing brings the setting of Porphyry Island and Lake Superior to life. My one complaint about the book was the strong, foul language of Morgan's character. It was a jolt to the senses in contrast to the otherwise beautiful writing and seemed to be out of place.
The Lightkeeper's Daughters: a tad syrupy; generic characters outnumber idiosyncratic ones, as the presence of many are fleeting vis-à-vis the expansive timeline of the book. Then, there's the continual recitation of geographical place names for the plethora of islands, bays, channels, which, in a way, somewhat inhibits scene setting. Nonetheless, references to Port Arthur and Fort William are pleasantly nostalgic, compared to the crass Thunder Bay moniker. These minor structural shortcomings aside, Pendziwol weaves an absorbing, convoluted tale, wherein chance and fate vie for primacy in determining the evolving experiences of each and every life. Perhaps the key lynchpin in shaping the future course is the foundational upbringing we receive, incomplete knowledge of which results in what may be termed a lingering void. This narrative depicts a last opportunity quest seeking illuminating revelation. The true numerical element of the novel's title only crystallizes towards the end. The initial default assumption subtly wrong foots the reader. Nicely done.
Kudos to Ms Pendziwol's leap from children's books to an adult audience. I loved this book. However I would not consider this an easy breezy summer read. It requires one's undivided attention, especially the last 2/3rds of the book. I had to go back and re-read some of the end chapters as to refresh my memory of who was who. Heart warming and tragic at the same time. A great blend of friendship and family bonds.
I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging tale of multi generational family bonds and the secrets kept to protect them. I would describe this read as a cross between a Light Between Oceans (Stedman) in terms of setting and themes, and the Notebook (Sparks) in the manner in which the story was related. The Canadian historical context and setting was an extra bonus.
I think i found my favourite summer read of 2017!

Shulgin's TiHKAL synthesis #24.
DOSAGE : >20 mg
DURATION : unknown
COMMENTARY: "This substance proved to be quite unlike psilocin and bordered on the bizarre. The entire experience was more 'stimulant-like' rather than hallucinogenic. A very unpleasant
ride. Have no desire to go deeper or, indeed, to look at the other cyclic analogs."

When four Latina women decided to try the Saint Marc Pub-Café in Pacific City, California, all they wanted was to splurge on some grilled cheese sandwiches.
However, what they got instead was a nasty shock.
Diana Carrillo, her sister and two friends went to Saint Marc, an upscale area in Huntington Beach, but before they could order their food, they were asked a highly racist question by the waiter.
The four women were asked to show their "proof of residency" and when they stared at the waiter in disbelief he repeated his demand. "Yeah, I need to make sure you're from here."
Flabbergasted, the four women took out their ID cards and handed them over to the waiter. But as they realized what the man had just done, they decided to complain about him to the manager.
The manager told them they could sit in a separate section and offered them his business card, but they refused and left the establishment.
Carrillo, 24, decided to post her encounter on Facebook when she arrived home.
"How many others has he said this too?" she wrote. "I hope this employee is reprimanded for his actions. No establishment should tolerate discriminatory actions from their employees. PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!"
People most certainly did and in just a week Carrillo's post got more than 1,800 reactions and 1,300 shares.
After the negative publicity, the restaurant fired the employee responsible for the racist behavior. It also offered the women a VIP experience at the place, which they declined. However, they did decide to accept the owner's offer to donate 10 percent of the weekend's proceeds to the charity of Carrillo's choice, Orange County Immigrant Youth United.
Ken Bearden, the senior director of operations at Saint Marc, told The Washington Post the waiter had never asked such a question to anyone before and "had never received so much as a write-up."
He also insisted the employee's view were "something that you can't control. The true measure is how you then handle it as a company. I feel very proud of our team and how we tried to take a proactive approach, trying to create a positive out of this situation."
Carrillo also wondered whether the behavior was a result of President Donald Trump's hate rhetoric.
Social media users bashed the employee for his behavior.

Looking forward to hearing how Sherman does going up Hwy 139. Safe Travels!ReplyDeleteReplies
He did totally fine, didn't miss a beat. This was nothing compared to some of the mountains that we have been though in Mexico. Beautiful scenery on this drive, it's the kind of drive we love, beats the Interstate any day! :-)Delete
Beautiful place to hike.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, there are so many hiking options in this area! We'll be back some other time for sure.Delete
That looked like a fun hikeReplyDeleteReplies
Going through the skinny little slots was a blast!Delete
That hike is difinitely not for chubby people. Great pictures.ReplyDeleteReplies
Chubby people maybe, bigger than that and it might be an issue. ;-)Delete
What a neat hike! That red flower photo is really beautiful! Too bad you don't have more time to spend on your return trip but Utah kinda took the cake, didn't it! Safe travels.ReplyDeleteReplies
It was such a fun hike! Yes, it would have been nice if we could have had more time, oh well, we will just have to return back to Utah which neither one of us has a problem with. :-)Delete
That red flower really caught my eye because it was about the only bright colour there was on that particular part of the hike and the colour just popped!
What a nice morning stroll, think that would be my kind hike! LOL...ReplyDeleteReplies
Guess now you will have to come down to Utah and give this hike a try!Delete
One day you need to spend more time in Colorado - the mesas are lovely and there are a lot of neat Archaeological sites there. Plus I happen to have been born there (Montrose)ReplyDeleteReplies
We totally agree with you Cheapchick! This was our second short visit in the sate of Colorado and both times we said that it looks beautiful. The problem that we have is that the best months to come and visit would be when we are working. Having said that if the weather is decent the months of April and October it could be doable. As you know we love the mountains and hiking and Colorado has both of these in abundance.Delete
Really neat hike. We're aiming toward CO in a few weeks, so thanx for posting about Rabbit Valley Rec Area/ReplyDeleteReplies
It's a beautiful area and there are also so many options on Hwy 139 that we drove along, lots of camping opportunities as well as hiking. I am sure you will love your time in Colorado.Delete

Environmental And Water Management Experts To Convene At The Smithsonian Institution To Celebrate State and Municipal Government Successes in Outdoor Water Conservation At The 11th Intelligent Use Of Water Summit, April 15, 2010 - Washington, D.C.
AZUSA, CA (February 17, 2010) – Rain Bird, the leading manufacturer and provider of irrigation products and services, announced today that its 11th Intelligent Use of Water Summit will be held at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC, on April 15, 2010. The Intelligent Use of Water Summit: State of the Union will focus on providing greater insight into the water conservation policies and legislation, programs, initiatives and trends that ultimately steer city- and state-wide efforts to reduce outdoor water waste.
Scheduled for Thursday, April 15, 2010, in the Baird Auditorium at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, the Summit panel will feature a cross section of city and state municipalities and water agencies that excel in implementing effective landscape water efficiency and conservation programs. Panelists at the upcoming Summit will be:
As panelists, each will have the opportunity to showcase their water conservation case study and share their successful strategies and initiatives on outdoor water conservation to an audience of landscape and water professionals as well as government representatives, NGOs, key water industry representatives and the media. Leading the environmentally focused symposium will be veteran journalist, Susan McGinnis.
Regarded as one of Washington D.C.'s leading energy and environmental journalists, Susan McGinnis serves as managing editor and news anchor for Clean Skies News, an online news network devoted to providing in depth news, information, discussion, and commentary as it relates to energy and the environment. Before joining Clean Skies, McGinnis served as anchor of the CBS Morning News and as a business-news contributor to The Early Show on CBS.
Established in 2004 as a forum to further define the relationship between water conservation and landscape water use, The Intelligent Use of Water Summit series presents a view of the current and future state of water resources through the eyes of water conservation and environmental experts. Previous summit locations have included Pasadena, Calif., Tucson, Ariz., Tempe, Ariz., Madrid, Spain, Aix-en-Provence, France, and most recently, Melbourne, Australia, in March of 2009.
"Reduced water availability presents a significant challenge for city and state municipalities as they need to implement conservation programs that, despite being necessary, are not always welcomed with open arms by the audiences they serve," said Rain Bird Corporate Marketing Director Dave Johnson. "The representatives on the Intelligent Use of Water Summit: State of The Union panel have demonstrated success in implementing creative programs that have achieved increased water efficiency through education and innovation."
The Intelligent Use of Water Summit: State of The Union will be held at the Smithsonian's Baird Auditorium on April 15th, 2010 and is open to the public at no charge. RSVP at email@example.com.
Rain Bird devotes significant resources to its Intelligent Use of Water public education initiatives, which include: a series of white papers; public service announcements; membership on the Alliance for Water Efficiency and the steering committee advising the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on its WaterSense product labeling program; The Intelligent Use of Water Summit series; The Intelligent Use of Water Film Competition; partnerships with nonprofit organizations, including sponsorship of National Public Gardens Day with the American Public Gardens Assoc.

Australian researcher may have developed the cure for AIDS
An Australian researcher has developed a gene therapy for HIV - which has the potential to stop the virus from turning deadly.
David Harrich, an associate professor at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR), will begin animal trials this year, but experiments in humans are still five years away.
Harrich has manipulated an HIV protein involved in gene expression, known as Tat, and turned it into a weapon against the virus.Using human immune system cells, known as T-cells, in the laboratory, he's shown the mutant protein prevents HIV replication.
At the same time, Harrich said the modified protein, dubbed Nullbasic, did not appear to adversely affect the human cells.
"So far we haven't found that Nullbasic causes toxicity in the cells we've tested," he said.
"I'm excited. Every test I've done with this agent has succeeded. It makes me optimistic it will work in humans. At the same time, I'm a skeptical scientist, and I'm going to require proof it can jump every hurdle."
QIMR researchers will soon begin testing the protein in mice.
"Before you can trial it on humans, it's going to have to go through rigorous testing in animals for safety," Harrich said.
In order for human cells to make the HIV-inhibitory protein in the laboratory, Harrich had to insert a new gene - a process known as gene therapy.
He said the idea of gene therapy being used as a treatment for HIV had gained momentum since the case of a man known as the Berlin Patient, considered by doctors to have been cured of the virus.
"He had a bone marrow transplant because he had cancer. The bone marrow from a human donor contained a mutant form of a normal protein that stopped the virus from being able to infect his cells," Harrich said.
"He now has no HIV detectable in his body."

He was killed in Yemen. Now his mom wants you to see his photos
Photo: Luke Somers with a number of Yemeni friends
The headlines about Yemen are dire. Civil war has put almost 7 million people on the brink of famine. The United Nations humanitarian chief says Yemen is in danger of "total social, economic and institutional collapse."
For one Seattle-area family, their own loss is bound up in Yemen's tumult. Luke Somers was abducted there in 2013 and held hostage by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. He was killed during his attempted rescue by the U.S. government. Somers was 33.
His family hopes the photographs he took up until his abduction can still spark awareness and compassion for people caught up in the current disaster.
"You look at all these beautiful people, and you wonder where they are now," his brother Jordan Somers says.
Jordan Somers lives in Seattle; their mother Paula Somers lives near Gig Harbor. With a recent exhibit of his work at Seattle University, they said they were finally ready to pay tribute to his life and to the people of Yemen whose lives he chronicled.
"We don't want him to be forgotten. We want to celebrate his life," Paula Somers said. "We needed to do this. We couldn't have done it before."
Somers had both British and U.S. citizenship and traveled widely even as a young child. "A free spirit," his mother recalled. Eventually his family landed in the Seattle area — Luke and Jordan attended Lindbergh High School in Renton.
After college Luke experimented with photography, and became even more devoted when he went to live in Yemen. He taught at an all-girls school, and in his spare time immersed himself in the life of the city of Sana'a.
"This was the onset of the Arab Spring; it was exploding all over the region," Jordan Somers said. "He'd be walking down the street and there would be mass demonstrations."
Luke gravitated to the people who set up tent camps to protest the government, his brother said.
"Luke was just in the midst of it all, so he was taking it all in and befriending people and photographing along the way," Jordan said.
His talent in photography grew and he went to work for English-language newspapers in Yemen. Eventually his work was featured by the New York Times, the BBC and Al Jazeera. "His photographs are just so beautiful," Paula said. "He learned so much as he was going along. And it was from his heart. He loved these people and it shows."
Luke was abducted in September 2013. Jordan and Paula said it was impossible to get reliable information from anyone. Initially they obeyed instructions from U.S. government officials not to tell anyone what had happened. They learned after the fact that U.S. officials made an unsuccessful rescue attempt in November 2014.
Soon after, a video surfaced of Luke with his head shaved.
"This is when we threw the playbook out and started contacting anyone and everyone who could lend support in any kind of way," Jordan Somers said. They thought they were making progress, building relationships that might lead to Luke's release.
Then "we received a knock on the door and the FBI told us he was killed. They went in for a second raid attempt which again was unbeknownst to us, and resulted in the death of Luke and Pierre [Korkie], a South African man who was also being held as well as other people around the compound," Jordan said.
They were devastated. Meanwhile, Yemen continued to deteriorate. The country is now dealing with famine and instability, and was included in the Trump Administration's proposed travel ban.
"To say it's gotten worse since then is quite the understatement," Jordan Somers said. "People are virtually trapped there."
They realized Luke's photographs could inspire compassion and understanding for the people there.
"To show Luke's work — to show the beauty of the people of Yemen as seen through Luke's eyes — just seems like a very important thing to do particularly at this point in time," Jordan Somers said.
The exhibit was inspired by one of the brothers' former high school teachers at Lindbergh High who assigned his students to work on an exhibition about the Middle East with a timeline of Luke's life. Luke's photos were later included in a New York show by the Yemen Peace Project.
"Now is the time that we must show these photographs," she said. "People deserve to see them."

I took part in my first webinar this morning on the use of social media within customer service. I was kindly invited by the Customer Services Network to share some of the experience I've gained over the last ten months or so from using Twitter to provide customer service. What was interesting was the medium of the webinar. Having never done one I really didn't know what to expect. Once I got used to the way submitting a post worked, and how to respond to specific questions, I found that the time passed incredibly quickly. I don't think I've typed so much or thought on my feet so much in such a short space of time. What was also strange were the pauses in the proceedings. When I was typing my responses, it was up to the person chairing the session to fill those gaps. I quickly became aware of the need to submit my responses part way through writing them, rather than trying to wait until I had finished answering fully each question. It was also necessary to keep going back to ensure that I answered any questions that were submitted when I was answering another one. What is also interesting is that you are not in control of the situation. Other people submit questions which you have no idea about, similar to a Q&A session I guess. What's different, is that people can't see you response as you type it.
I really enjoyed the experience, but it is very different to presenting or tweeting.

Sam's Club is to begin selling Apple's iPad and iPhone, adding yet another major brick and mortar outlet to its retail presence. The warehouse member's club made the announcement in a conference call with investors on Wednesday, according to the AP.
Sam's Club is a division of Wal-Mart, which announced earlier this week that it, too, would sell the iPad starting on October 15th. Target and Best Buy have also been announced as retail distribution points for Apple's market-defining tablet.
In September, Best Buy CEO Brian Dun waxed eloquent when he announced his company would expand sales of the device to his company's entire fleet of stores, calling the device a "Magnificent shining light."
Sam's club will be adding iPads and iPhones to its jewelry and electronics areas.

A Salute To Our Heroes
What can we do for our armed forces? Those young men and women who stand as sentinels guarding the land, sky and seas of our nation? Those sons and daughters who give their today for our better tomorrow. What, indeed can we do for them, except keep them in our grateful thoughts, words and deeds and spread their saga of valour which has kept the Indian tricolour flying majestically, always and everytime.
These thoughts prompted the journey of Lakshya Foundation. It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We at Lakshya Foundation have taken this small yet determined step to bridge the gap between civilians and the armed forces by fostering an emotional connect.
Ek Panti EK Soldier
Lakshya Foundation organised "Pratyek Sainik Ek Panati" or "Every Soldier One Lamp" program at Charkop, Sector 2 ground. We received huge response from citizens who turned out in numbers in spite of Diwali evening!
Mission Ladakh
We have taken more than 600 civilians over the last 15 expeditions to Ladakh to let them experience the harsh terrain and actual battle zone where our brave soldiers fought for every inch of their motherland.
Valentine My Soldier
We started this programme in 2012 in Malad, Mumbai. We felicitate the Armed Forces Personnel, Parents and Wives of soldiers during our presentation for this event.The event has since been held in various location

I really don't know why these were discontinued. These were the best semi-sheer lipsticks I've ever found - intensely moisturising, good wear time, great selection of colours, and a cheap price. In fact, I'd say these were one of the best lipsticks, I've tried, full stop - and I'm a lipstick junkie who has tried many formulas at all price points. They were so moisturising that I used them as lip balms. Pink Truffle, Juicy Papaya and Sweet Tart were my favourites.
The Almay (owned by Revlon) Butter Kiss lipsticks are meant to be a dupe - but they are not. They're not as moisturising, the texture is thinner, and they don't last as long on the lips. In fact, I find them somewhat drying. The Revlon HD Gel lipsticks are the closest dupes that Revlon currently do. They are decent, but they are not of the same high standard as the Lip Butters - they are not as moisturising or thick, and the range of colours isn't as good (although 'HD Coral' is similar to Juicy Papaya).
Revlon apparently moved a couple of the Lip Butter shades to the Super Lustrous formula (including Pink Truffle), but I haven't tried these yet as they're not sold in my country, and I need to track them down. When I do, I'll update this review.
Revlon, please bring the Lip Butters back!

Another favorite of mine that Revlon discontinued. I've been shamelessly buying them at discount stores whenever I find them, but the well seems to have run dry. They are the perfect blend of balm, color and gloss. They were moisturizing and I love the colors. Berry Smoothie, Juicy Papaya, Pink Truffle, and Lollipop are some of my favorite shades of lipstick EVER.

Pink truffle is my fav shade. It gives colour like a lipstick but not heavy and it's moisturizing which I like. No lip liner or gloss needed

I just got to know these and already they're discontinued? Quite a bummer, but not really. I got Berry Smoothie and Cherry Tart both on clearance. Frankly if these were full price, I wouldn't have bought them. They only have 2.5 gram of product in each, which is a bit more than half of a regular lipstick (4.5 gram, some stinkier ones are 3.5). And even though I do enjoy them, to be brutally honest, besides the beautiful packaging with the corresponding caps and checkered pattern aside, they are basically glorified tinted lip balms with a lot more shine and some with shimmers. They're very buttery (hence the name), very comfortable and moisturising on the lips, and I'm speaking as a person who cannot live a second without lip balm. The colour is really sheer, some deeper shades certainly pack on more pigment but the lighter shades hardly even show up. Berry Smoothie is one those lighter one, it's basically the colour of my lips but pinkier and slightly mauvy. It is my lips but slightly better but still not enough to register as I'm wearing lipstick kind of thing. It's not possible build up the colour because this formula slips around, and that's what I dislike the most about it. I have more pigmented tinted lip balms from the Baby Lips line from Maybelline, they apply not as buttery but they stay in place and don't go on unexpected business trips around my lips and over my lip line. This is one those lipsticks that does gather in the inner rim of your lips to nasty line, not a cute look at all. I also have to wipe my lips completely dry and clean if I even dare hope this thing sticks, because they wear off very very easily. Even with a darker, pigmented colour like Cherry Tart, I can see the bright punchy red shade fade off right in front of my eyes within 30 minutes of wear, and I did nothing but smacking my lips together from time to time. Eating and drinking anything and you can say goodbye to your lip colour. Since they wear off easily, you'd have to reapply very often, and the tube will run out, fast, since there's not much product in there at all. The shine of the lip is really brilliant, I gotta give them that, it makes your lips look really full, plump and healthy. They both have shimmer in them, Cherry Tart's not as obviously sparkly, but Berry Smoothies has very noticeable shimmer in it, and when the colour fades, the shimmer stays, and this is a very common problem I have with any Revlon lipstick that has shimmer (like the Pearl finish from the Super Lustrous line, they're just atrocious) in them. Fortunately the shimmer doesn't settle into the lip lines, but it's still really strange to have specks of glitter on your lips.
And that's why even though I will enjoy them while they last, I won't repurchase. The colour range is really amazing, but when it wears off so fast and for that price? I'm not willing to shell out that much for 30 minutes of buttery lips. If you want a tinted lip balm, get a Baby Lips I mention earlier. If you can't part with the smoothing and soft feeling they leave on your lips, get a Butter Gloss or for more opaque colours, an Intense Butter gloss from NYX. I swear even those glosses stay on my lips longer than this. I won't miss these terribly when they're gone.

I have three of these: red velvet, berry smoothie and candy apple. It's light, just the right amount of shine and moisturizing. My only problem that it tends to be too soft that it would kinda "mush" (so you have to keep it in the ref) and the cap breaks easily.

Why is there not a "maybe" purchase again button? These are great lipstick/balms. I have cotton candy and peach parfait. I researched what colors I thought I would like quite a bit before ordering and I like both colors. BUT, my lips are more pigmented than the swatches I looked at so the peach is real dark and the cotton candy barely shows up. 😡 So I will have to do some work to get these to really look good and I was really hoping just to be able to slap these on....I will either have to conceal my lips to get good color or put down a base color. I'm annoyed by that but hey...can't complain that my face isn't all one color. I have berry pink lips.

I own juicy papaya, candy apple, and berry smoothie. Make sure your lips are not dry before putting these on because they will settle funny.

I own 5 shades of these lip butters. I have Berry Smoothie, Candy Apple, Cupcake, Peach Parfait and Juicy Papaya. I've been using these for a few years now and I still love them. I feel like these look good on and feel good on. They are also pretty affordable and I like how each shade is named after desserts/food. I also like the packaging on these. I feel like there is definitely a shade for everyone because they offer so many. Overall, these are really good lip butters and I would recommend them to anyone.

I own four of these in the shades Berry Smoothie, Peach Parfait, Pink Truffle and Cherry Tart. I used to love these and kind of forgot about them for a little while but I was searching high and low for a semi-sheer yet moisturizing lipstick and I remembered I already had some! These do not dry out my lips and are not too opaque or too sheer, some do have mild glitter but only in the Peach Parfait do I find it noticeable on the lips. They do not have a very long wear time, especially if you eat or drink, but I find that moisturizing or glossy lip products usually don't so I didn't really expect them to. My only real gripe with these is the packaging. In all four of the ones I own whenever I twist the lipstick down after use it scrapes the lipstick and leaves a glob of gooey lipstick allover the rim. Also these all eventually have stopped twisting down properly after not that many uses and then I have to push it down manually. These would be near perfect if the packaging was improved! Not bad bang for your buck though and my favourite shade is Cherry Tart.

Producer/writer Philip Dunne adapted the screenplay of Way of a Gaucho from the novel by Herbert Childs. Largely filmed on location in Argentina, this is the story of Martin (Rory Calhoun), a freewheeling gaucho of the 1870s. Resenting the incursions of civilization, Martin accidentally kills a man while asserting his independence. To avoid a prison sentence, he signs up with the army, but soon deserts to form an outlaw band. Salinas (Richard Boone), Martin's former commanding officer, makes it his mission in life to bring Martin to justice. Gene Tierney co-stars as socialite Teresa, who stands by Martin through thick and thin. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

From Pompano Beach, Florida, USA:
There is a strong history of diabetes in our family, and I have hypoglycemia, so my two year old son recently had his blood sugar tested which was 70 mg/dl [3.9 mmol/L]. While I understand that this is within the normal range, he exhibits three signs of diabetes -- slow growth (fifth percentile on the charts), excessive thirst, and a craving for sugary foods. Might there be a possibility that he could have diabetes regardless of what the blood test showed? My mother-in-law said that sometimes her blood sugar is low as well even though she has had diabetes since her late 20s.
It is unlikely that your son has diabetes now. Craving sugary foods is not a symptom of diabetes. Sustained growth (even at the fifth percentile) is a normal finding in children. I would watch him for the typical symptoms of diabetes such as excessive thirst, hunger, weight loss, and frequent urination. If he exhibits those signs, then a more detailed look at the possibility of diabetes is warranted.
It is recommended that children have a screening urinalysis done once a year at his age to screen for diabetes and other illnesses. This is typically done in the pediatrician's office during a routine wellness examination.

A team of researchers from Harvard and Rochester Universities believe the reason to be because smoke seeps through the walls and shared ventilation systems which are present in flats.
Researchers conducted the study on children living in households where nobody smokes, finding that 73 per cent of the 5,000 children analysed were exposed to second hand tobacco smoke.
Author of the study and associate professor of paediatrics at Harvard Medical School Dr Jonathan Winickoff, said: "If your neighbours are smoking then you are exposed if you live through the wall in a semi-detached house. In apartment buildings this effect is magnified. Smoke contaminates the whole building."
Martin Dockrell, director of policy and research at the UK group ASH, said: "There is a strong case for social and private sector landlords designating some entire blocks as smoke-free to respect the choice and the health of the great majority of their tenants."

Skip to comments.RUSH: Republicans must walk away from any deal with Obama and the Democrats on the fiscal cliff
Posted on 11/29/2012 3:18:58 PM PST by sheikdetailfeather
Yesterday Charles Krauthammer said that Republicans have leverage right now with the president on this fiscal cliff deal because if tax rates go up on all Americans, Obamas second term will begin in a recession as the higher tax rates will slow growth even more, and Krauthammer contends that Obama doesnt want that.
But Rush passionately disagrees noting that analysis disregards Obamas entire first term. Rush believes that Obama doesnt care about having a successful economy in his second term, that its all part of his push to transform this country into a welfare state because thats what is fair in his eyes and thats the only legacy he cares about.
(Excerpt) Read more at therightscoop.com ...
He's 100% right. Hand obammy the noose and let him hang himself. Rinos will cave anyway so just go for it so we don't get blamed like last time.
kick Lucy in the face instead of missing the football again!
Rush is right, but will it happen? NO!
And if they cave because they think it will save their political skins, they have it precisely backwards.
If they cave, they will get killed at the ballot box in two years.
In reality, walking away and washing their hands is the only rational path. if they do that then they have not caved, and they are not complicit.
I have been faxing and phoning the Speaker's office for over a week pleading with them to not make any deals with the democrats. If they do, pander, increase taxes, they are officially done. We will lose portion of the base forever. Many of their supporters are on the verge now of leaving the party and why would they stay. They can come out with a message that they are warning the Democrats not to do this. If they, the dems follow through, it's their responsibility. More supporters will fortify the republicans because they will see them fighting for no more redistribution of income and wealth. This is all they are doing. weeks ago, I posted this. I hope others do listen. It is been a agenda (all along) to punish the producers to further Obama's reform of America.
If he did actually care, he was not willing to do anything about it other than borrow incredible amounts to re-distribute amongst his cronies.
If he did actually care, he was not willing to do anything about it other than borrow incredible amounts to re-distribute amongst his cronies.
I agree the Dems want the Repubs to give them a raise in taxes for a promise to cut Fed spending in the future. When has that ever worked?
Rush wants to play chicken up to the point where Obama is exposed.
The way Rush put the issue up did leave room for a last minute goal line stand. I can't recall Rushes exact wording but he didn't recommend actually going over the cliff. Did you notice that also?
Did any of you see Dianne Sawyer and ABC News tonight where she stated if they came to any deal to avoid fiscal cliff. Stupid broad doesn't realize Romney has no power.
Yeah, rush is right, but the country club Republicans don't listen to Rush or any other conservatives. They're losers.
Repub Est. is in bed with this bunch. We may as well recognize it and move on. It is up to us to make corrections, and it will take action beyond keyboard pounding.
That's exactly what Gingrich said yesterday. (Pity that Rush helped destroy Gingrich's candidacy in favor of Romney, but that's the breaks.)
Gingrich reminded the House that they actually have the MA-JO-RITY (and he pronounced it very clearly for them, in case they were holding their hands over their ears) and that they did not have to go along with Obama on anything.
The naivete of supposedly seasoned observers like Krauthammer and Larry Kudlow, et al., about Obama's true nature never ceases to amaze. Even now they appear to be unaware that he isn't like any other American President. Rush is one of the few people with a microphone who understands Obama perfectly.
So true. This is why the voters refer to them as weak and will not be stand up for the country to say No, to Obama.
Bless you for taking the time to make the calls and send faxes to Crybaby's office. I can NEVER get a live person, when I call. I feel leaving a message is just going in to the black hole of DC. I'll have to try faxing.
Oh but they will not.
The democrats not only gave the republicans enough rope to hang themselves, they let them weave that very rope with the fibers of their own cowardice.
In order to avoid the dreaded government shutdown, the republicans negotiated this very cliff that they are about to toss themselves over with that very self woven rope around their neck.
I swear, the GOP is the absolute biggest group of festering n00bs that I have ever seen in my entire life. They are not even worth discussing any more. The only worthwhile action I can see at this point is to shove their worthless carcass over the cliff they created with their own disgusting cowardice and get over with.
what history supports the fact that they will get killed in the next election? (hint, there is not much)
Sometimes ya have to be careful for what you wish for. Demorats are soon to find the error of their folly.

text: During a recent A level ecology course I collected data for lengths of shell of Littorina saxatilis for exposed and sheltered shores. I would now like to use the data for a Maths project. In order to validate my data I need to compare my data with data from a larger survey but unfortunately cannot find suitable data. Can anyone supply me with some suitable figures which ideally would include the sample size, mean and standard deviation of the shell lengths: even the range of lengths would be helpful as I can only find their maximum length at the moment. Thank you

With the fires at Hazelwood Coal Mine still burning, Lock The Gate has seized the opportunity to warn the Queensland town of Ipswich of the risk of setting up a new mine so close to the town.
The New Chum mine, proposed by lease owner Oxley Plant Sales, received environmental approval in January to the chagrin of local council.
Lock The gate president Drew Hutton said that the mine, which is planned for a site 5 kilometres from the town centre and 550 metres from homes, could cause health and environmental risks similar to those currently experienced at Morwell.
"The Morwell coal fire is the perfect example of why open-cut coal mines should not be allowed near where people live," Hutton said.
"Particulates from coal, especially fine matter, are a major health hazard even if there's not a fire… but the risks rise exponentially once there's a fire."
The Hazelwood coal mine has been on fire since it caught alight from a grass fire on February 29, and has been polluting the atmosphere above the nearby town of Morwell, causing medical experts to warn those living nearby to evacuate.
Queensland mines minister Andrew Cripps said the comments from Hutton were "misleading and alarmist".
"Contrary to claims by Lock The Gate, the potential for a Hazelwood mine fire to occur at a Queensland coalmine is remote," Mr Cripps said.
"Victorian coalmines, including the Hazelwood mine, produce brown coal (lignite) which is easier to ignite.
"It is also presently understood the Morwell fire stemmed from a nearby bushfire and was not the result of spontaneous combustion in the brown coal seam.
"Queensland produces black coal which is more tightly structured, contains less volatile matter and not easily ignited."
Cripps said he expected people in Ipswich would not be misled by Lock The Gate.
"I'm confident that the good people of Ipswich, who have lived around and worked in the coal mining industry for a very long time, will not be fooled by Mr Hutton's irresponsible and exaggerated claims.
Ipswich City Council has already expressed their anger over the mine's approval, saying it has been left in the dark throughout the proposal and approval process.
Deputy mayor Victor Attwood said the council should have more say about the mining activity.
"We should be able to avoid what I believe is a totally inappropriate place for a mine," he said.
Rural councillor David Pahlke said coal mining should not be allowed in residential areas.
"The State Government's decision-making process overrides the council. We have no say in it," he said.
"The sad thing is whoever is in power; whatever side of politics, they do the same. They don't listen to the people. It's sad."
Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale said the City of Ipswich is pro-development, but not at the expense of the community.
"One of the things the council prides itself on is community consultation.
"When I see things like this happen I think no wonder the public gets upset," he said.

Selecting the right smartphone isn't as easy as it may seem. Your friends tell you one thing, media something else; plus we're all bombarded with ads that add another layer of confusion. Before spending your hard-earned cash, we suggest asking yourself and answering the following questions which should help you make a better decision… or so we think. Let's roll…
1. Which screen size you prefer?
Not everyone likes big screen phones. On the other hand, these so called phablets are getting increasingly popular with the day suggesting that some folks want as much screen estate as they can get. You have to decide whether that big screen makes your daily whereabouts easier or not, and whether you can actually carry this phone around in your pocket. Cause if you answered no, you may want to look for something smaller. In general, today's high-end smartphones have 5- or so inch screens, whereas phablets take over from 5.3-inches and beyond. iPhones are "stuck" to 4 inches, though.
2. Want/need a contract?
You can either buy a phone from a carrier or unlocked, and then use it with an operator you want, sans any strings attached. Buy it with a contract you'll benefit from the lower initial investment, but you'll then have to stick to that carrier (and plan) for two years (in most cases) and use all the minutes, texts and mobile data included as part of the plan. Getting a phone from a carrier is something most users do, except if they want a Nexus phone which is affordable even without carrier subsidies.
3. Does the brand matter?
We see an onslaught of cheap Android devices hitting the market on a daily basis. Most of these are not available from mobile operators and in order to get them, you'll have to go for an unlocked device (and only later buy some texts, minutes and data). On the other hand, major handset makers tend to release firmware updates faster than smaller companies. So yes – we suggest getting a phone made by the likes of Apple, HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola and so on.
4. What's your platform?
You get to choose between iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry. If the app count and the quality of apps matter a lot, you should go for the iPhone or some Android-based device. Microsoft and BlackBerry are also working hard to bring the popular titles to their respective platforms but they still face a gap in the number of apps their users can download, with Windows Phone offering more apps than BlackBerry. There are also other criteria you want to take into account, like available accessories, platform openness and so on.
5. What about the specs?
Specs do matter but not all the time. If you're getting an Android or Windows Phone device, and if you can afford it, get the best device there is. Simply put – you'll get a better experience with zero or no lag. Mid-range smartphones, while getting better, can still be pain to use after some time. When it comes to the iPhone and BlackBerry handsets, the situation is different – these companies make both hardware and software and can deliver awesome user experience without using the latest chips.
6. Do you want the iPhone?
For some folks, Apple's handset is the only game in town. Android seems cool and other platforms are not worth mentioning at all. While we disagree with such point of view, we do understand these users want the iPhone. And "nothing else matters." Period.
7. Want a physical keyboard?
Tough luck. Not many phones offer physical QWERTY keyboard these days. There's the BlackBerry Q10 and several low- and mid-range Android smartphones. And that's about it. You can, however, use QWERTY keyboard cases with the iPhone and get a similar experience that way.
8. What's your budget?
Perhaps the most important of all the questions and the one that will have the crucial role in your decision to select the smartphone for yourself. As we've said it before, getting a phone with a carrier contract could save you some cash initially though you'll be forced to pay some predefined amount per month, typically for two years.
Now we hope that answering these questions will help you get a better smartphone, one that best fits your specific needs. Good luck. 😉

Paul Revere
Cited above, an interview with Paul Beatty circa Tuff. Good stuff.
Q: When your first novel, WHITE BOY SHUFFLE was published, critics said you were the literary parodic counterpart to hip-hop and stand-up comedy as practiced by Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy. What do you think about this comparison?
A: All literature is framed by the societal zeitgeist in which it is written. In some ways saying my work is the "literary parodic counterpart to hip-hop and stand-up comedy" is an insult The general knee-jerk critical reaction that all African-American art is linked to pop culture in ways that white American art rarely is. I think that the races and artistic forms (pop or not) are all linked, especially in this, the information age. So I don't deny the links to music and comedy, but decry the short-sightedness that these are the only, or most important links, they are not. Richard Pryor is a genius. Who I admire for his vulnerability, fearlessness and insight. Eddie Murphy is not funny.* Hip-hop is a genre and like any genre is sometimes good, sometimes bad. It does not influence in anyway how or why I write. If it is part of an character's world or an appropriate metaphor, then it's there. For instance Tuffy listens to rap, occasionally recites rap lyrics but claims he doesn't like it, and hates being mistaken for anyone of the slew of overweight rap artists. Spencer Throckmorton the black rabbi is fan of easy listening music. And his music, Harry Chapin, Bread America, Simon and Garfunkel sets the tone for the book at least as much as hip hop, if not more so. Of course most people don't care because that's not "black."
* LOL but I do not concur.

City by City
The Centre's research focuses on the UK's 63 largest cities and towns, defined as primary urban areas (PUAs). Use the right hand menu to find the latest economic data for each of these towns and cities. You can also explore all the data, create maps, bar charts, scatter plots and tables using the interactive city by city data tool.
The data
Unless otherwise stated, Centre for Cities uses data for Primary Urban Areas (PUA) in its analysis. This is a measure of the "built-up" area of a city, rather than individual local authority districts. PUAs are used in our analysis because they provide a consistent measure to compare concentrations of economic activity across the UK. This makes PUAs distinct from city region or combined authority geographies.
Since 25 January 2016, Centre for Cities has been using a new Primary Urban Area (PUA) definition, following a review undertaken with CURDS, University of Newcastle. You can read the methodological note here.
Combined authorities and metro mayor areas
To find data and information about current, agreed Combined Authority areas soon to elect a metro mayor, you can use the links in the right hand menu toward the bottom of the page.
City partnerships
The Centre partners with a small number of cities each year, undertaking bespoke research on a specific question agreed with the Partner City. Contact Naomi Clayton for more information.

In the morning February 11, the Russian Federal Security Service has started searching and illegally detaining Crimean Tatars in Crimea, wrote an activist Emil Kurbedinov on Facebook.
The Russian human rights activist says FSB is fabricating new "terrorist cases" against Crimean Tatars, similar to those already existing that resulted in arrests of four Muslims from the city of Sevastopol - Ruslan Zeytullaev, Rustem Vaitov, Nuri Primov, Ferat Sayfullaev.
- I think that being unable to go on with spreading the fake information that Elvina Razakova allegedly joined the IS and thus failing to stigmatize Muslims of Crimea and Crimean Tatars as terrorists, the FSS of the city of Sevastopol set to "trump up" a couple more terrorist cases, wrote the lawyer.
In the city of Yalta, the FSB has raided Bakhtiar Topuz's family and the Rustem Osmanovs in Bakhchisarai. An hour later as aa result of two other unlawful searches one citizen from the village of Holmovka also has been seized. Currentlly, the FSB is searching and detaining Amir-Usein Kuku, a member of the Crimean Contact Group on Human Rights.
The last thing that the human rights activist managed to report before setting off to the places of searches along with the Coordinator of the Crimean Contact Group Abdureshit Dzhepparov is that the occupiers are raiding the Crimean Tatas' houses in the city of Alushta.

Real Estate Taxes:
Real Property Conveyance (Transfer) Fees:
Amounts Collected, by County, Calendar Year 1988
Ohio Revised Code Section 319.54(F)(3) establishes a
mandatory transfer fee on the conveyance of real property.
The fee is one dollar per thousand dollars of value of real
property transferred. In addition, Ohio Revised Code Section
322.02 allows the board of county commissioners of each
county to levy a permissive real property transfer fee of up
to three dollars per thousand dollars of value of real
property transferred. In simple terms, both the mandatory fee
and the permissive county fee (a maximum of 4 mills) apply to
the selling price of real estate at the time of sale. The
revenue from both the mandatory fee and the permissive fee is
deposited in the general fund of the county--none of the
revenue goes to the state.
County auditors reported total collections of $39,651,887
($17,953,982 mandatory fees and $21,697,906 from the
permissive fees) during 1988 on real property conveyances.
The number of conveyances by county on which the mandatory
transfer fees were collected ranged from 298 in Vinton County
to 25,976 in Cuyahoga County. The total mandatory transfer
fees collected by each county ranged from $5,414 in Vinton
County to $2,534,467 in Cuyahoga County. The average
mandatory transfer fee collected by each county ranged from
$18.17 in Vinton County to $109.03 in Delaware County, with a
statewide average of $68.25. For those counties having a
permissive real property transfer fee in effect in 1988, the
total collected (both mandatory fee and permissive fee)
ranged from $16,266 in Noble County to $10,054,943 in
Cuyahoga County.
Ohio Revised Code Section 319.54(F)(3) exempts certain
conveyances from the mandatory transfer fee. During 1988, a
total of 173,031 (39.7 percent of the total) transfer fee
statements filed with the county auditors were exempted from
the fee. The lowest percentage exempted was in Warren County
with 20.59 percent exempted. Geauga County, with 59.9 percent
had the highest percentage exempted.
Table PC-1 shows the revenues collected by each county from
both the mandatory transfer fee and the permissive real
property transfer fee. The data presented in the table were
compiled from a survey of county auditors conducted by the
Ohio Department of Taxation.
