Saturday lunchtime, just done some yoga at home, riding towards the ferry to pick up a friend to go to the beach, doing about 60kph, helmet shorts tee shirt shades, some guy coming the other way decides to turn right into the gas station, no warning, no indicator, he just didn't see me, just puts his car in front of me. I hit the brakes hard, lock up front wheel, bike skids off to one side, I go down, no recollection of the bouncing down the road bit, happens so fast the next thing I know I'm slid under the front of his car face down about up to my chest. Luckily I didn't hit the car, and it didn't hit me. Driver gets out, sees me, gets back in and reverses off me!!! I feel bits of the car scraping my back. Instant crowd forms, picked up / dragged to side of road, it starts to hurt, feel the hot sun beating down. Taken to village dispensary where they patch up the scrape wounds – knees elbows shoulders – by stuffing with cotton wool and dabbing with iodine. I scream. I ask the medic to check out my chest as I cant breathe properly, he says nah it would be swollen if there were any broken bones. I ask can you please check my knee because its not working, he says nah it would be swollen if there were any broken bones… He gives me painkillers and antibiotics. So I go home and go to bed, extremely uncomfortable, everything hurts, stay in bed Sunday, till monday morning when i can feel liquid sloshing around when i breathe, and can only breathe halfway, while my leg is not able to take any weight. Find AAR emergency number on the internet, they send an ambulance and take me to Aga Khan – one of the better private hospitals. X rays show several fractured ribs (5or6), fractured collar bone, and fractured knee, plus a collapsed lung. Apparently the other stuff can wait, but one of the broken ribs has scraped the lung spraying air and blood into the chest cavity. Local anaesthetic to cut, dissect and push a tube between ribs into my chest. Phhssshhhh as the air comes out, followed by blood/fluid, into a bottle that I am attached to for 5 days in a nice room with a sea view and pethidine on demand.

ABC student chapter members from colleges and universities across the nation came to Long Beach, Calif. to compete in the 2018 ABC Construction Management Competition, held during ABC Convention 2018. This year the competition drew competing teams from 16 colleges and universities across the United States.
This year's project was focused on the modernization of the Will Rogers Middle School Campus, including upgrades and improvements to several buildings on the campus as well as exterior site areas. The project contains abatement, demolition, roofing, finishes, specialties, related MEPF and building systems, earthwork, site utilities, hardscape and exterior improvements. The campus must remain open and accessible during construction, so coordination with the end user and the public is part of this project's scope.
Each team was required to provide a price and a technical proposal before competing in a spontaneous exercise led by the Competition Committee. Then the top teams were interviewed by the committee.
Winners were selected in four categories:

As a kinesiotherapist, Emilie Creuzieux was always in a hurry. Finding time to eat on busy schedule was practically impossible. Through her own experiences, as with busy individuals everywhere, she longed for a solution to her challenge: how to combine practicality, efficiency and healthy eating while respecting for the environment and saving money by eating in?
A lover of Japanese culture, during her search she discovered the bento box and, after observing that she was not alone with her newfound passion, decided to start her own bento company.
monbento mania is now on its way!
About us
monbento is based in Clermont-Ferrand, France. The company was founded by Emilie (CEO), Fabien (design and production) and Arnaud (web marketing). From the beginning, monbento thrived due to the diverse and complementary talents of the three co-founders. Innovation and creativity are the words by which monbento lives in order to offer an increasingly rich line of products revolving around the bento box.

The path to cultivating and building influence on the social web has gotten a lot harder than what it used to be. That's saying something – because building influence has never been an easy task. Companies, in developing digital marketing and communications strategies, have included influencer outreach and engagement as a key focal point for a number of years now. However, the continued steady growth of information and content on the web, blogs and otherwise, has made it much more challenging for individuals to build a standout, highly trafficked online presence – correspondingly, companies will face increasing difficulties in defining and engaging with influencers, and must rethink their strategies accordingly.
According to Wikipedia, as of February 2011 there were 156 million public blogs in existence. Comparatively speaking, various estimates peg the number of blogs in 2005 at around 25 to 35 million. More notably, however, is the rise in overall content creation and consumption. Think about the time that is now spent on social networks, and the resulting information that is being generated and shared. If attention were to be considered as a currency, the exchange rate right now is quite high.
When blogging first started to truly grow in popularity a few years ago, those who put forth the effort to provide quality, reliable and interesting content were able to create a strong online presence – attracting readers, establishing themselves as influencers. A couple of such prominent bloggers who come to mind are Raul Pachec0-Vega, who writes at hummingbird604.com and Rebecca Bollwitt, who writes at www.miss604.com. Make no mistake, both Raul and Rebecca put in a lot of hard work into establishing their online presences – and success did not come overnight for either of them. However, I find it hard to believe that the degree of success they have earned can be achieved by anyone today, in the crowded attention economy.
This has ramifications for companies, as they attempt to identify and work with influencers to build relationships and establish genuine word-of-mouth about their products and services.
Here are some questions companies should consider:
- Is the message that they would like to spread, and engage influencers with, sticky and relevant?
- Do they have the capabilities to scale their influencer outreach? To achieve a similar breadth of outreach compared to years ago, it is likely that companies now need to engage with more influencers – remember though, the quality of relationships with influencers can't be replaced by quantity. Building personal relationships is important.
- Are accurate metrics and evaluation processes in place to identify relevant influencers?

Frozen or fresh canned fruits without additional sugars are the perfect complement to small portions of the starch and protein foods in diabetic diet plans. Canned fruits should be in juice or light syrup, recommends the American Diabetes Association.
One-half cup canned or frozen fruit has approximately 15 grams carbohydrates, roughly the same amount as a small piece of whole fruit, explains the ADA. Servings of melon and fresh berries range from 3/4 cup to 1 cup. Whole fruit juice also adds 15 grams carbohydrates in 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup; dried fruits should be limited to 2 tablespoons, states the ADA.

I've moved the blog from texdev.wordpress.com to here as this lets me upload whatever I like to the site. So I'll be able to post snapshots of code, source for articles and talks, and so on here. The theme is the same as I was using on WordPress.com, but it's been updated. I hope everyone likes it!
Month: December 2008
Section numbers in achemso
When I wrote the achemso class for submissions to American Chemical Society journals, I did my best to get the style of each journal correct. Of course, this is not easy as there are a lot of journals and they are not necessarily consistent in applying the style rules! One issue that comes up a lot is section numbering. Most of the journals do not number sections, most of the time. However, sometimes authors want to include section numbers. I need to look at this again for version 3.2, but in version 3.1 you need to do:
\makeatletter \acs@restsecnums \makeatother
somewhere in the preamble to restore numbering.
TeX Questions
There are three main places to ask (La)TeX-related questions in English:
Each has a different mix of people, and I wonder how much cross-over there is. The LaTeX Community forums seem best for the newer user, as there is a lot less complex information than in the newgroup or on texhax. I'd say that the newgroup is the most active of the three, with texhax a relativity quite list. Of course, there are also ConTeXt-specific places to talk. I wonder how much regulars of each "place" know about the other ones?
Choice options
As I work through recoding siunitx for version 2, I'm re-thinking all of the options. As I've said already (and others have said too) the current structure is too complex. A particular problem is the options which currently take a choice of values, or a literal item. I'm thinking that it would be better to either (a) have a fixed list of choices or (b) use the input as given. For example, the current:
\sisetup{decimalsymbol = comma}
could become either:
\sisetup{numbers/output/decimal marker = comma}
\sisetup{numbers/output/decimal marker = {,}}
For options which give literal output (like the above), I think the later method is better (it matches up with the input options, for example). On the other hand, some options (particularly those involving spaces) seem better done using keywords:
\sisetup{numbers/output/digit separator = thick space} % thin space, comma, ...
I'd be keen to see what others think.
Advanced features of xkeyval for LaTeX3
Currently, LaTeX3 only provides parsing of key–value input into separated keys and values. I've written the keys3 package as a possible implementation of keyval for LaTeX3: this is based on pgfkeys from the pgf system. However, there are some features of the xkeyval package that I've not yet covered. In particular, I'm wondering about the "preset" keys system (
\presetkeys and relatives) and the "pointer" system (
\savekeys and so on). I've not really used these, so I'm not sure what might be needed for LaTeX3.
I think that LaTeX3 needs to have built-in keyval support which can cover everything that can be done by add-ons in LaTeX2e. I'd appreciate ideas on what needs to be added to keys3 to achieve this.
siunitx v1.1j
The latest release of siunitx, version 1.1j, is on its way to CTAN. This adds a new unit, the gon, which I'd never heard of but apparently is bit in geophysics. I've also fixed something that I spotted recently when working on version 2: an infinite loop when using breqn and the textmode option for siunitx.
Developement Timetables
The need to have public timetables for large projects is something I mention quite a bit on the LaTeX-L list. The LaTeX3 project has run for many years, and at the moment there is no public indication of when a "LaTeX3 kernel" might be available. As I've mentioned that I'm working on siunitx v2, I guess I'd be hypocritical if I didn't have some kind of public statement about how things are going.
The plan at the moment is something like:
- Christmas period. Re-code number output and tables.
- January. Look at extending unit system to cope with more cases.
- February. Additional items (such as awkward symbols). Write basic documentation for v2.
- March. Public beta one for testing. Continue to write documentation
- June. Depending on feedback and success, release siunitx v2.
As you can see, I'm hoping to get everyhting revised for TeXLive 2009, having learnt from getting siunitx v1 out. Of course, this is subject to change (and other committments), but I think it's pretty achievable.
Guidelines to authors
Author guidelines for journal submissions still seem to be based in the era when you typed a manuscript and posted it to the editorial office. I've just had a question about my achemso package and the guidelines for Analytical Chemistry. They want Figure and Table captions in a list on their own, and they still want graphics on separate pages from the text. Reviewing papers where people stick to these rules is harder than when the rules are ignored, and the content is in-line.
Most of the journals now want electronic submissions only, but haven't altered their own guidelines to reflect the very different workflow this produces. It is a two-way street, and I at least tend to "vote with my feet" and submit things that are easier for the reviewer to read, whatever the publishers say.
A letter template
Getting started with LaTeX can be an awkward buisness. The UK-TUG are keen to help new users, and so I've been thinking about resources for beginners. Letters are always a pain, as the default LaTeX class is not great. I've posted a simple template, based on modifying the standard letter class, with full instructions here.
achemso v3.1
My achemso package (for submissions to the American Chemical Society) has been updated to v3.1. This brings two main developments. First, JACS Communications now automatically format in the journal style. This was asked for by the editorial office, and hopefully shows the approximate page requirement. Second, I've completely revised author affiliations. The original system was much too inflexible (just one main affiliation per author), and I've had a lot of questions about this. The new system gives you three macros:
The last one is new, and should enable pretty much any combination of different addresses.

Tottenham Hotspur overcame West Ham United 4-1 on Sunday but what did Spurs fans think of the Belgian midfielder's contribution?
Tottenham Hotspur stretched their undefeated streak to 12 Premier League matches when they overcame West Ham United 4-1 at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
Goals from Toby Alderweireld, Kyle Walker and a brace from Harry Kane ensured Manuel Lanzini's late strike for the Hammers was a mere consolation, but it was another Tottenham player who particularly impressed in the form of midfielder Mousa Dembele.
The 28-year-old has been in brilliant form for Tottenham in recent weeks and he could well go on to become the club's Player of the Month, with strong competition from Kane of course.
Dembele has often divided opinion among Tottenham fans but there is no doubting his emergence as a key player for Mauricio Pochettino's side.
With goals in the recent clashes against Bournemouth and Aston Villa and some standout performances elsewhere, it is time Dembele got the credit he deserved.
After Tottenham's latest match we took to Twitter to see what their fans thought of Dembele's performance and you can read a selection of what we found below:
Dembele man of the match + player of the month #coys— Jonny s (@jjohnsurridge) November 22, 2015
Great performance & result for the boys from White Hart Lane! Dembele on another level in this form, Kane with a brace - brilliant! #COYS— Haseeb Malik (@IamHaseebMalik) November 22, 2015
Moussa Dembele has been absolutely quality today, forever the unsung hero!— Adam Mercer (@MercerImp) November 22, 2015
Dembele man of the match, the guy is a rock— Henry Branston (@henry804) November 22, 2015
Dembele & Dier have been top class this afternoon @SpursOfficial #COYS— Paul Lewis (@PLewi28) November 22, 2015
@Lee_9_ playing so good at the moment mate! English core as well! Dembele like a new player— Bishop (@tomb01o) November 22, 2015
Dembele is without doubt one of the biggest ballers in the league on his day— Sam (@clarkee94) November 22, 2015
Dembele is on another level today— Mark Buckland (@MarkBuckland2) November 22, 2015
I'm so happy to admit that I was so so wrong about Dembele— - (@Eriksened) November 22, 2015
Dembélé's been outstanding today. Play him regularly and he's easily one of the best midfielders in the league #TOTWHU #Spurs #spursvwhu— Ben Carter (@benc777) November 22, 2015


text: Whenever I hear the phrase... "they were out playing ball" ...I would automatically assume baseball, but I just wondered if that was common, or perhaps regional, or based on some other factor. How about other people? Is it just baseball to you? Is it some other specific sport like basketball or futbol? Or do you not understand it to refer to any specific sport, and would then ask the speaker, "what were they playing?" ?

In this tutorial we will deal with some combination of gradient fills with the help of Blending modes, gradients with transparent sliders, and Opacity masks. These techniques allow us to create complex color blends, which typically have real world objects.
Let's check out some opportunities of object transparency change with two Blending modes. Create two rectangles, one of which should have a color fill, and the other is filled with black-and-white linear gradient.
Apply the Multiply blending mode in the Transparency panel to the object with gradient fill. As you can see, the white color became absolutely transparent after usage of this mode.
And now apply the Screen blending mode to this rectangle. This time, the black color became transparent.
Here I want to note, that this trick works fully only in RGB color mode. In addition, we need to use absolutely black color R=0; G=0; B=0 for the black color.
And now, let's see on practice how to use features, describes above. A pole of a stop-sign is filled with linear gradient, which carries the volume of the cylindrical surface.

KLM wins Junior Division championship
The Kettering-Largo-Mitchellville U-15 baseball team won the county Babe Ruth Junior Division championship on Sunday, surviving a marathon game in the semifinals and breaking open a close contest in the championship game with a fifth-inning rally.
In the semifinal round, KLM outlasted South Bowie, 19-18, in a 14-inning game that took five hours to complete. KLM trailed 12-1, but came from behind to tie the game at 15-15 in the bottom of the sixth inning. Pitchers Deandre Smith and Orlando Mullins helped limit South Bowie to three runs over the final eight innings. KLM trailed 18-16 heading into the bottom of the 14th, but got two runners on for Mullins, who knocked them both in with a triple. After Nick Frazier was intentionally walked, KLM's Raymond Jeffries knocked in Mullins to win the game.
After a 30-minute break, KLM was back on the field to face Lewisdale in the title game, which was tied 6-6 until Mullins, Josh Forbes and Trevor Allen hit doubles in the fifth and Frazier followed with a triple. KLM went on to a 12-6 victory.

It's a rare student who stumbles on the realization—while still in college—of where he'd like to spend his career. Will Austin is one of those rare individuals.
A lifelong Bostonian, Will grew up in the city's Dorchester neighborhood and enrolled in Boston Latin School, a prestigious public school for grades 7-12 where admission is by a highly competitive entrance exam. "I was lucky to have grown up in a city with an outstanding public school option for some students in the exam schools," Will says. "Boston Latin is one of the best high schools in the country. It fundamentally changed the trajectory of my life."
It did so by preparing Will and his older sister for college—enabling them to become the first members of his family to do so. The college Will chose was Harvard University, and it was while he was still a student that he became involved in a program that brought middle school students to Harvard for campus tours.
As part of that same program, Will began visiting middle schools himself to do some tutoring. It was that experience that brought him to his epiphany. "I realized middle school is where I wanted to spend my time," he reveals. "A place where I could be of value. Where I could do something meaningful."
Preparing Students for the Future in Roxbury
Upon graduation, Will received a two-year teaching fellowship at The Steppingstone Foundation, a local nonprofit that supports students in middle school as they prepare to apply for competitive high schools. Although he "really loved the work," Will had a yen to spend all his time working directly with kids, in the classroom. So, in 2002, he applied for a teaching position at Roxbury Preparatory Charter School, an inner-city charter public school charged with helping prepare middle and high school students to enter, succeed in, and graduate from college.
"When I first came here, I felt so passionately about the school, I just knew I'd do anything to work here," he says. "I felt it was a place where I could grow and also make a contribution." What he ended up doing was not what he expected. Hoping to teach history, he learned there were no openings, so applied to be a reading teacher instead. He ended up teaching math.
Even though he hadn't envisioned specializing in that subject, Will found that it was a job he loved. It was during his time on the math team that Roxbury Prep students earned the highest test scores in Massachusetts—not once, but twice. "I'm incredibly proud of that," he says. Still, after several years, he began to feel that, as part of the school's mission of helping prepare kids for college, he needed to move into a leadership role. He accepted the position of Co-Director of the school.
The school has shown impressive results under his leadership. Still a young school (it was established in 1999), it has become one of the top public middle schools in Massachusetts, consistently outperforming over 80% of middle schools across the state and ensuring that 99% of its students to date have gone on to graduate from high school.
An Uncommon Notion: Uncommon Schools | Boston
Roxbury Prep is building on this success by expanding. Formerly a standalone middle school serving grades six through eight, the school now has plans to open two new middle schools and a high school within the next six years. The school will serve students in grades five through twelve—in all 1,800 students in Boston by 2018, representing 10% of the city's middle school population.
To help manage its growth, Roxbury Prep has partnered with Uncommon Schools, a nonprofit network of public charter schools in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts whose 28 college prep schools consistently rank among the highest-performing in their home states.
This past year, Will "stepped out of my day-to-day role to help manage our network of schools as we grow," as he puts it. He now serves as chief operating officer of Uncommon Schools | Boston.
When asked why the organization targets charter schools—that is, public schools that have greater freedom in academic programming, organization, and mission—Will is quick to point out that traditional public schools, charter schools, private schools, and Montessori schools alike all can succeed if families, teachers, and school leaders feel passionately about the mission and are aligned behind it. "What charter schools allow is to let it happen freely, without the restriction of traditional settings," he says. "They show what's possible when you give local stakeholders the freedom and accountability to do what's best for their kids."
At Roxbury Prep, that includes kids like Wilson, who moved to Roxbury from the Dominican Republic the summer before sixth grade, never having attended school or learned a word of English. By the end of seventh grade, he had scored an Advanced level on the English Language Arts MCAS exam. Four Roxbury Prep students successfully completed the rigorous national application process for a scholarship from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, earning free tuition for life. And there's Titciana Barros, once one of Will's own students at Roxbury Prep and now its 6th-grade math problem-solving teacher.
"These students are not exceptional—they're exemplary," Will is quick to point out. "Ninety-nine percent of our students graduate high school, and two-thirds have graduated or enrolled in college. So these students are not highlights, but rather examples of the excellence their peers have produced."
Outside School Walls
In addition to his accomplishments at Roxbury Prep, Will was involved in the passage of Massachusetts' 2010 Education Reform Act, which effectively doubled the number of charter schools in the state's lowest-performing districts and also gave superintendents greater power to make sweeping changes in their lowest-performing schools. "Being part of a wide coalition of people who were able to advocate effectively to open more great schools for kids in Boston and other low-income communities—that is my proudest accomplishment," he says. "It's really nice to have been a part of systemic change on both ends—playing a role in broader policy forces with the decision makers but at same time, at the school level, changing individuals' lives who then change their communities. I'm proud of that."
Other decision makers Will is delighted to be engaged with in effecting social change are his fellow members of Grand Circle Foundation's Community Advisory Group (CAG). "One of the things that's really challenging around education and social services is that there's often a debate around what outcomes we should have rather than how do we get the outcomes we want for kids," he points out.
The Community Advisory Group, on the other hand, is aligned around a clear goal: to measurably increase high school and college graduation rates among students from Boston's Allston, Dorchester, Mattapan, and Roxbury neighborhoods who participate in CAG programs.
"I really appreciate everyone agrees that it matters what kids' SAT scores are, it matters what graduation rates are," says Will. "These things matter, and we're going to commit ourselves to that standard. It's a way for me personally and my organization generally to learn from them in order to make our services better and serve our kids better."
Maury Peterson, Vice President of Grand Circle Foundation, is quick to acknowledge that Will, too, has valuable input to share with the group. "He has a great passion for what he's doing, and he consistently delivers results," says Maury. "As a new member of our group, he has a great deal to share."
While Will loves his work, he also makes sure to find balance by spending time with his family. A passion for public education is a bond he shares with his wife, whom he met in high school. "We've been together longer than we have not been," Will says. "At a young age, that's saying something!"
Will also enjoys spending time with their 19-month-old son. "When I'm not at work, I'm with my family," he says.
Certainly, Will's joy in his work has made a big difference in the lives of students at Roxbury Prep. Still, he remains humble about his accomplishments. "One of the things I say to staff members here is that one of the real privileges I have is to represent the good work they do and their kids do every day," he says. "I'm in a very fortunate position to be associated with these results. I just like to think I'm being helpful."

Resident Evil 6 picks up ten years after the Raccoon City incident and the President of the United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place in the belief that it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity. Due to be by the President's side is his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy, but when the venue suffers a bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face a President transformed beyond recognition and make his hardest ever decision.
At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack. With no country safe from these attacks and the ensuing outbreaks, the entire world's population is united by a common fear that there is no hope left. In a first for the franchise, Resident Evil 6 sees series favorites Leon and Chris come together to face this threat. They will of course be joined by new characters, each with their own unique perspective and involvement, in this relentless dramatic horror experience enacted on a global scale.

The first piece of this puzzle that we should tackle is the easy part – puppies! Many people are anxious to run out and get a collar and leash for their new puppy before they bring it home. They don't want their new baby to run away, and they are sure that they need it for training. Well, you can save yourself some money! A puppy is a clean slate – he hasn't learned any bad habits, no poor training to overcome, he is just eager to do what you ask.
The first thing to remember about puppies is that they love to play! They also learn through play, much like children do. Rather than put a heavy leash and collar on your pup and try to force them to "do your bidding", I have a better idea. Don't put a collar on your puppy. Instead, when you want to go for a walk, use a slip lead and a fun toy.
A slip lead, sometimes called a kennel lead, is an inexpensive, lightweight leash, that you can easily roll up and put in your pocket. No collar is needed, you just "slip" it over your puppy's head. Keep the toy on your left side, and every time your new friend looks at you, praise her, then play for a few seconds and continue on your way. As your pup looks at you more frequently, praise, but don't play every time. This will happen over time, so relax and remember to enjoy your time with your new friend! Once she learns that you are so much fun, she will pay more and more attention, and stay closer by your side.
Pretty soon, you can add the command "Heel", or whatever you choose to tell your dog, "Walk next to me, and pay attention". Remember to play as reinforcement sometimes, even when your puppy has this down pat. In fact, play as reinforcement even when your new puppy has grown into a 12 year old dog! Dogs love to play! Besides, it keeps us humans from taking ourselves too seriously!
Next time, we'll talk about what to do with a dog that has learned to pull.
See you soon!

The Posse found a way to get ahead of the Union Blue train. Along a straight-away after a bend, the Posse had laid feed along the rail lines to get Cattle to block the line. Then they waited behind a blind for the train to slow down. The Union Blue train arrived, and blew it's horn. Gunnery teams on top of the train fired at the cattle, and cleared the rails.
Zane, Viktor and Percival rode out behind the caboose, using it as cover so the gunnery teams wouldn't see them. Zane was able to move to the train cleanly, but Viktor and Percival were not. Their horses stumbled, and the noises alerted the gunnery crews. Car-by-car the Posse advanced on the train. Icie and Cho were able to catch up and help take out Union Soldiers. Zane took a position on the caboose roof. Union Soldiers advanced and detached the caboose. With a running start, Zane jumped from the Caboose to the Freight car and landed on top of a Union Soldier.
The roof of the freight car opened up, and a Zeppelin lifted away. More cars were cut loose from the train, and General Custer taunted the Posse with threats that their rebellious acts would be in vain. That he would make it to El Dorado and bring an end to this Civil War and unify the United States of America.
A week later, the Posse arrived at the Devils Postpiles, the area that Barnabus Quint had identified as the location of the lost city of gold, El Dorado. The nearer they got to the Devils Postpiles, the worse the weather became. Thunder, lightning, rain and hail pelted them. They followed a pillar of ghost-smoke, and found the wreckage of Custers Zeppelin. Two bodies were found, one a Union Soldier and the other a hispanic man with a feathered headdress. The Posse recognized him as the man who was trapped in the ruins near Grizzly Bluff – Ququmatz, the God of Storms. No longer in his winged serpent form. The Posse correctly deduced that he had brought down Custers Zepplin, but why?
Muddy footprints led the Posse into the Sierra Nevadas. Above the storms, the weather was calm and beautiful. The trail became a road, going past terraced farms and eventually to a Pyramid made of Gold. The Posse waited for nightfall to approach. Signs of a battle between Union Soldiers and Aztec warriors lined the area outside the pyramid. Aztec warriors pounced from dug out holes and attacked. But the spear-wielding warriors were little match for hot lead.
A door at the top of the pyramid lead to a tunnel deep below. The posse entered a large chamber. A pool of molten gold in the center, surrounded a small island with an enormous crystal lens. Spiritual energies flowed through the lens and into the body of General Custer. His skin painted black, and dressed in feathers. The three witches surrounded him, casting a ritual. Six golden statues lined the walls.
The posse advanced and fired, trying to disrupt the ritual. Whenever they were aggressive near one of the statues, it came alive. Zane blasted one with his rifle, and the cavity revealed human bones. These weren't statues, they were humans who were encased in molten gold! Two of the witches broke from the ritual, leaving their little sister to complete it. The snake witch shot snakes out which constricted our heroes and tried to pull them into the molten gold. The bat witch took flight and used her powerful sonic blasts to wear the heroes down.
Viktor teleported near Custer and attacked with the Sword of Laban, but the ritual was completed just before it. Custers body burned, and only his blackened bones remained. The God of Greed, Tetzocatipulca walked the earth again. Blue fire shot out of his skull and attacked Viktor. With one last rally, the Posse was able to clear a path for Viktor to strike a final blow on the God of Greed with the Sword of Laban. The souls of a thousand sinners poured out of Tetzocatilpoca. The golden statues fell into the molten gold. The crystal lens fell and crushed the snake witch. Stones falling from the ceiling knocked the bat witch into the molten metal. The earth shook, cracked and fell. Our heroes falling with it.
Lighting a lamp, the posse found a small crack which lead away. Their only way out was forward, deeper into the mountain. Through another crack they entered a larger chamber, with machined walls and train tracks laid down. At that moment a loud train whistle was heard, and the light of a train blinded our heroes…
To Be Continued

There is an occluded front sagging in from the Northeast, and that doesn't bode well for wind anywhere.
If we're lucky, there'll be 8/16M wind at DC today from 1 until 4. 14M Kite wind in the Rush valley 2 until 5,
and an 8/16M WNW dinner sesh at UL, but today, I'd watch the indicators before I went. Might be a little rain
out there also.
Tomorrow looks pretty iffy also, with maybe a slightly better chance for planable wind at DC.
Monday, still unsettled and not too windy.

This thousand-year-old city, flashpoint of the bloody 1956 strikes, dramatically illustrates the differences between Poland's past and present thrusts for reform.
While angry workers took to the streets in protests that left many dead and injured 24 years ago, laborers recently discussed reforms at their workplace in a show of restraint and discipline.
In fact, such a mood of unity and self-confidence exists here that it would seem risky, indeed for the Communist Party to dilute any of the recent demands won by strikers.
Much of the country's current ferment really began here. Just over 24 years ago, the big Stalin engineering works here -- named by the strictly Soviet-patterned regime that seized power after World War II -- went on strike. For months its workers had vainly protested harsh increases in work norms and losses in real earnings.
On June 28, 1956, they marched through the city in a peaceful demonstration, their Communist Party secretary among them. Banners demanded "bread and justice." Others railed against "false communism."
All was quiet and orderly until a report that a delegation sent to Warsaw to present their grievances had been arrested roused angry feelings. rioting and shooting followed. By nightfall the next day, more than 50 persons were dead, 300 wounded, and an equal number arrested.
Mercifully, nothing like this happened when the 18,000 workers at the Cegielski plant (its original name was restored following the bitter 1956 days) went on strike a month ago. Violence notwithstanding, the parallels of events then and now are striking. In both cases pressure mounted for a change in living conditions. History repeated itself in uncanny detail when the early July strikes led to the economic immobilization of the Baltic coast and later spread to main industrial regions.
There has been the same tide of demands as in 1956 -- for economic reform, for better living standards, and for honest public accounting. At a recent parliamentary session, members spoke out bluntly about the system's failure for the first time since the 1956 unrest. Now as then, government ministers have hastened from one strike center to another to mollify workers with pledges of immediate wage increases.
The sprawling Cegielski complex churns out a variety of engineering and machine products. Like every other workplace in Poland, it is powered by a young work force, although many veterans of 1956 are still around.
The long line of new cars parked near the complex indicates that living standards have improved. But over the years Polish expectations have risen much faster than improvements. This was particularly true after the big pay hikes of the early Edward Gierek years. By the mid-1970s, Cegielski workers had more money in their pockets. But there were also fewer essential goods to spend it on. Poznan is a well-ordered city, much developed since World War II. A mixture of Gothic and Renaissance, high-rises and concrete, it has doubled in population to more than a half million.But the lack of variety and quality products in store windows and the ubiquitous queues outside shops tell the same story as in Warsaw or any other Polish town.
On the eve of the Szczecin and Gdansk strike settlements Aug. 29, the Cegielski plant stopped work for 24 hours as a warning to the authorities not to block publicatin of the Baltic agreements by the Poznan news media.
The workers drew up their own set of demands, 27 points in all, which reflected the current social, economic, and political discontents of Polish life.
Most have since been accepted by the new leadership in response to the nationwide clamor over food shortages and rising prices and against abuse of official authority and privileges accorded party members, the police, and members of the armed forces.
Despite its damaged credibility, the Communist Party still has several thousand members at Cegielski. Among them are a member of the strike committee and one from the group drafting a new union statute.
Neither of these tough, energetic young men voiced opposition to the concept of totally new, independent union. Both suggested there is a strong party move afoot to preserve and rehabilitate the old union.
Whether "rival" union can exist remains to be seen. But the authorities may regard it as a way to exercise at least some control.

My friend recently smoked some pot laced with cocaine. First of all, is this possible? Whatever the case may be, he seems to be infatuated with the idea of trying straight coke. I've heard that trying coke for the first time is quite dangerous, true? Also, what are the effects of the high? And how detrimental is coke in general?
Sincerely, Concerned Friend
Dear Concerned Friend,
Kudos to you for trying to dig up accurate information for your friend. Cocaine is a stimulant drug and a naturally occurring anesthetic. Most of the effects of coke, however, occur when the drug interrupts the neurotransmitter balance in the central nervous system. The initial effects of this interruption are pleasant — increased confidence, a willingness to work, greater motivation, increased libido, and a euphoric rush or high. At the same time, coke raises blood pressure, increases heart rate, causes rapid breathing, tenses muscles, and causes the jitters (although many don't notice because they're feeling so alert and euphoric). Over time, and with regular use, people may get paranoid, anxious and confused, and sometimes experience hallucinations. Insomnia, agitation, and depression can also result from frequent cocaine use.
Regarding the question of mixing or combining drug, yes it is both possible and known to happen. Some users will mix drugs in an effort to enhance effects, while others will try mixing opposite effect drugs to prevent going too far. Either way, mixing or combining illegal drugs has potential dangers. You might note that mixing legal drugs (like prescription and over the counter items) also can result in negative outcomes and thus labels mention consulting with a health care provider before taking a new medication when already using other items. There have also been some adverse outcomes associated with using drugs like cocaine while on prescriptive drugs.
The physical effects of coke are the same as any other stimulant drug — except that the rush from the very first use is possibly much more intense. The problems with cocaine come from doing too much, its mixture with other drugs, and the crash after binge use. The latter arrives when the initial feelings of well-being and confidence, the sense of omnipotence, and the satisfied feelings disappear as suddenly as the rush appeared, leaving the user with the desire to have more.
Cocaine use can easily slide into abuse — and yes, abuse can begin shortly after one's first cocaine experience. The brain's pleasure centers that cocaine short-circuits makes its use a mighty hard habit to kick — despite the side effects of chronic nasal irritation, nosebleeds, paranoia, and bank account depletion.
If you and/or your friend want more information on cocaine, Columbia students on the Morningside campus can speak with a substance abuse specialist at Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) who can talk with either you and/or your friend about the short- and long-term effects of cocaine use. Call 212-854-2878 to make an appointment. If you are on the CUMC campus, you may call the Mental Health Service at 212-305-3400 to make an appointment.
Again, good for you for looking out for your friend… we should all be so lucky to have someone like you in our lives!Alice!

Video | Air Canada – Boeing 767-300MX Executive First- Seat 8K
Airline: Air Canada
Aircraft: Boeing 767-300MX
Row: 8 Seat: 8K
Class: "Executive" First
- The Seat: This Air Canada Executive First" cabin is configured nearly the same on all of their 767 fleet with the exception of a few "767-300ER" planes. The seat is from the same line as aboard Delta Airlines 777-200LR aircraft and offers full, lie-flat extension and lots of legroom while upright. One big plus (one that was a big minus in the Delta seat) is that the alignment with the window is such that you're not required to crane your neck if you want to peek outside. You'll find an easily navigable touch-screen entertainment system with a handful of movies and TV programs, although I didn't see enough to think that I'd be entertained for more than a few hours. If you're going trans-oceanic, you may want to toss a few extra movies on your tablet or laptop, which you can keep charged with the built-in power outlet. With plenty of room to move around and at least a few options for entertainment, this is a good choice for travel within North America.
Food:The cold chicken dish I was served was a healthy but bland choice. It was also small. For the money I'd hope for a side salad and maybe a brownie.
Summary:. If your upgrade cleared or a paid one didn't cost a fortune, then this seat is great. If you're on a long-haul flight overseas, there may be some value in using miles for an upgrade or having your cash-rich company foot the bill (assuming the food is different). If you're on anything under a few hours and are still working on a good nights sleep, there's really no reason to drop miles or money on the upgrade.
Rating: 4 hops (of 5)
Strategy: Upgrades can be purchased at check-in or at the airport for miles or cash. If nothing is available when checking in online, try again at the counter when you get to the airport (get there early).

what's YOUR story?!?!
March 4th, 2013 by Ed Lee
In a casual conversational exchange I overheard last week at DVCon (which reminded me of what Steve Jobs said to John Scully – "Do you want to sell sugared water for the rest of your life or do you want to…change the world?" – someone asked if the other's company wanted to dink out press releases forever or if the company wanted to tell a story that mattered to its audiences.
This conversation got me thinking……There's nothing wrong with sending out press releases but companies get optimal effect and value when they issue press releases for more than mere information distribution.
What would that be? To reinforce, substantiate or bolster the company's story. Sending out press releases (or saying, writing or doing any outbound efforts) ought to convey at least one of the company's message points.
What are message points? The themes that a company wants to get across to its audience about its own value. Maybe that value has to do with making SPICE faster (when the competition's SPICE runs slow), or being able to see the inner workings of a cell characterization block (when the competition's blocks are black boxes).
In the end, the value conveyed by the company's message points end up telling the story about how your company is different…that's what I think the conversation I overheard was getting to.

It seems like everyone has a Kickstarter campaign these days.
Whether it's my cousin's fringe-festival play, or a friend's memoir about sex parties, it seems I can't log on to Facebook to stalk an ex-girlfriend without being hustled for a donation by someone from my past. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the crowdfunding revolution. Crowdfunding campaigns have helped offbeat businesses get off the ground and even paid the hospital bills of cancer patients — it's laughing in the face of the recession and reimagining the way we engage with the online economy.
Indie rock star Amanda Palmer's Kickstarter campaign cashed out at more than $1 million to fund her latest album and tour. In a post-Napster industry, artists have turned to crowdfunding to gain direct access to fans' dollars.
So why am I not flooding the world's Facebook feed with campaigns funding Star Trek porn parodies? Because sex workers aren't invited to the crowdfunding party. Cam girls, strippers, escorts, and porn stars all face exclusion, scrutiny, and sometimes theft from crowdfunding organizations.

This prevents the ingress of dampness from the sub base and the phenomenon of 'picture frame staining' that can be associated with Granite paving.

Need help getting financing?
Here are some resources to help:
- January 27, 2011
- |
The Virginia Small Business Financing Authority
The Virginia Department of Business Assistance helps businesses and nonprofit organizations raise capital through combinations of public and private financing through the Virginia Small Business Financing Authority.
Only small businesses with specific credit standards are eligible for financing through the authority. Businesses must meet one of the following criteria: have fewer than 250 employees, have less than $10 million in revenues for the past three fiscal years, have a net worth of $2 million or less, or be a nonprofit organization classified under the 503(c)(3) tax-exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service.
The authority, a political subdivision of Virginia, offers financing through three primary means.
- Direct lending. The authority works with banks and other lenders to provide direct loans for fixed asset purchases, such as land, buildings and equipment. The authority also provides direct loans through specific programs that promote Virginia tourism and that assist day-care centers and family home providers.
- Indirect lending. The authority provides loan guarantees to commercial banks to promote lending to small businesses.
- Conduit financing. The authority can issue non-exempt industrial development bonds for manufacturers and 501(c)(3) organizations.
For more detailed information on the authority visit http://www.dba.virginia.gov/vsbfa.shtml or call (866) 248-8814.
U.S. Small Business Administration loans
The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer direct loans, but helps small businesses raise equity primarily through guaranteeing loans for companies that otherwise would not qualify for loans from conventional lenders. Here are examples of three types of SBA-backed loans. Visit http://www.sba.gov for details on these and other SBA loan programs.
7(a) Loan Program
The 7(a) Loan Program is the SBA's primary loan because of its flexibility in structure, variety of uses permitted and availability. The SBA guaranty reduces the lender's risk, because lenders can recover most of the loan's value if the borrower defaults.
Lenders must certify that the lender would not be eligible for the loan without the SBA guaranty.
To be eligible for the 7(A) loan program, businesses must be classified as small by the SBA. This varies among industries.
The proceeds can be used for a variety of business-related items, such as purchasing machinery, equipment, fixtures, and supplies, leasehold improvements, land and buildings, financing seasonal lines of credit or constructing commercial buildings. It can not be used for employee salaries, research and development or other investments.
This is provided for lenders who need a loan of $350,000 or less. The SBA will guarantee up to 50 percent of the loan. These loans do not require a SBA application.
CommunityExpress Pilot Loan Program
This provides business financing and management and technical assistance to businesses established in distressed or underserved markets. This features an expedited loan review and approval process
Microloan Program
The Microloan program provides small loans that range from $500 to $35,000. The SBA gives funds to nonprofit organizations, which make loans to small businesses. Interest rates are negotiated with the organization. These can be used for normal business programs, such as capital, inventory and leasehold improvements.
Export Trade Financing
These are short-term loans for businesses that export goods and services. The money can be used for manufacturing goods to export, buying goods and services to export or for purchasing inventory to export or that is needed to manufacture goods to export.
Certified Development Company Loans
These loans were created as part of an economic development program to help communities through small business growth. The long-term loans can be used for the purchase or renovation of land, buildings and equipment.
