Very effective at smoothing rough teeth since it is made with diamonds; regular files don't work.
Vernon M from Maryland
You really need to get the word out about using this tooth file on lambs and kids. Between 1-2 weeks of age, our baby goats get these little needle-like teeth and they can really damage the dam's teats. I highly recommend this file. It has been invaluable.

Hey fitness peeps, don't you just love a challenge?
I mean, we all like things to be attainable. When it comes to our fitness, simplicity is key; but every so often, boredom kicks in and we need a boost! Besides, when you attempt to challenge your fitness, it's great for the body AND mind.
Our move today is a Reverse Bridge with a Diagonal Crunch. This move will work the core, glutes, and upper body -- and yes, it's a combo move.
Begin this move by sitting on the ground. Extend your arms slightly behind you, placing your palms on the ground. Bend in the knees; place both feet on the ground as well. Now, with all fours firmly on the floor, proceed to lift your core up into your reverse bridge. Squeeze in your midsection and glutes for stability.
OK, now to add the challenge.
Holding your reverse bridge, pull your left elbow and right knee to meet in a diagonal across your body. Keep this slow and strong because your balance is being compromised. Once you meet the elbow and knee, release them back to your stable bridge. You can continue on the same side to complete a set, or alternate side to side. Give yourself 8-10 on each side for at least two sets, resting your wrists and upper body in between.
Some may find this move simple, others will find it completely impossible. Most will find it somewhere in between.
Bottom line, give it a try and have fun.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
So here are a few more posts from my blog, put on-line during the months of November and December 2010, that I didn't get posted here on SQLBlog.com:
So many of my customers and many of you, dear readers, are still on SQL Server 2005. Join Kevin Kline, SQL Server MVP and SQL Server Technology Strategist for Quest Software and Brent Ozar, SQL Server Domain Expert for Quest Software as they introduce the top ten features and capabilities in SQL Server 2008 that they find to be the most exciting and valuable.
This is probably my favorite professional development article of the year. Micromanagers make us feel untrusted and stymied by their constant need
for tediously detailed and frequent updates, constant changes to minor
details of our work, and overly developed attention to administrative
details that really don't matter in our daily job. But there's hope! Get all of my career advice on dealing with micromanaging bosses here.
This is a little bit of an older video. But it's still useful info if you're working with SQL Server 2005 or 2000. Check it out here.
I was once asked what I thought Microsoft's overall product trajectory for SQL Server was, in light of Oracle's rather obvious trajectory of acquiring multiple application vendors who will, in turn, deploy more and more of their applications to the Oracle database platform.

In this installment of my professional development column called Plays Well With Others, I talk about what distinguishes truly great leaders. There's a lively discussion on the topic and I encourage you to take part. Read it here.
One fall semester many years ago, I was a university freshman. Actually, I was anything but "fresh." I was dumb enough to think that 8 a.m. was a wonderful time to attend Economics 101. After staying up until the wee hours most every night, the "dismal science" took on more than one meaning as I set my clock just early enough to get to class on time. Along with 30 other very naïve classmates, I staggered into class and did my bleary-eyed best to focus on the lessons at hand. There were lots of Greek compound words and lots of graphs.I learned, for example, that the word economics derives from the Greek "oikonomikos," which means, approximately, "death by slidedecks" and, specifically, "house" (oikos) and "management" (mikos). I barely survived the experience and never took an 8 a.m. class again. Imagine my surprise, then, when a lesson I'd learned (and promptly forgotten) all those years ago jumped back into my consciousness late last year. - [READ MORE]

Here in Pennsylvania we're drilling for natural gas, but are we customers benefiting from this drilling? No; our gas rates are going up, not down. This is grossly unfair and unjust to expect people to continue to shell out what little cash they have to the feeding frenzy of avaricious utility companies and their CEOs.
The utility companies should not have tyrannical control over people's lives.
What happens if more and more people find they cannot pay their utility bills because of higher rates? To shut off these customers constitutes an immoral, unjust action that cries out to providence for revenge.
Smart meters are coming. We are being forced against our will to take them because of a stupid law. We will have no choice in the matter of installing these smart meters. Everybody must wake up and realize this is about control of our electric usage. This is a form of tyranny. Smart meters have been reported to have caught fire and burned houses down. And guess what: no homeowner's insurance covers smart meter-caused damage. People have reported strange health problems after smart meters were installed.
Guest speakers on talk radio, who have researched this, are warning people about these perils.

We are proud to make our chapel and seminar rooms, and our South Los Angeles Community Center, available to community groups for programs like this, and to work together with other religions and community organizations to help our community
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 30, 2013
The Church of Scientology Inglewood hosted a Truth About Drugs seminar for Latino youths January 26. Organized by Dr. Manuel Tigerino, President of the Latin University of Theology in Inglewood, California, the program was conducted by Rev. Roberto Recillas, Executive Director of I Believe in My Future Initiative (IBF).
Concerned about the proliferation of drug abuse and its destructive effects in the community, Dr. Tigerino put out a call for young people who are taking a leadership role in their areas to attend the seminar. More than 130 responded, filling the Chapel of the Church of Scientology of Inglewood to capacity.
Guest speakers Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts, Inglewood Planning Commissioner George Dotson and Lt. J. Torres of the Inglewood Police Department, encouraged the youth to put what they learned to good use to help their friends, families and the community.
Dr. Tigerino wanted to provide these young people with effective prevention tools, so the seminar was based on the Truth About Drugs, the drug education program supported by the Church of Scientology. Seminar leader Rev. Recillas, who trained on the Truth About Drugs curriculum in 2011 through a special initiative of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Multi-Faith Clergy Council, has been conducting Truth About Drugs seminars and training fellow ministers and community leaders ever since.
The seminar covered the realities of drugs abuse and the short- and long-term effects of substances such as marijuana, crystal meth, crack cocaine, LSD, inhalants and prescription drugs.
The presentation featured the "They Said—They Lied" public service announcements, which expose the most commonly held myths about drugs, and Recillas gave each attendee a set of the 13 Truth About Drugs booklets. There were many discussions, where the young people shared their experiences and exchanged their ideas of how they could put the information they learned to use.
Recillas walked them through the Truth About Drugs booklets and video resources and how to use these tools with their friends. He was then joined by Dr. Tigerino in presenting each attendee with a Truth About Drugs certificate.
"I was impressed with the enthusiasm of the participants in their desire to help others stay away from drugs," said Juan Bogan, Executive Director of the Church of Scientology of Inglewood, "We are proud to make our chapel and seminar rooms, and our South Los Angeles Community Center, available to community groups for programs like this, and to work together with other religions and community organizations to help our community."
The Church of Scientology has published a new brochure, Scientology: How We Help—The Truth About Drugs, Creating a Drug-Free World, to meet requests for more information about the drug education and prevention initiative it supports. To learn more or to read a copy of the brochure, visit http://www.Scientology.org/antidrug.
Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "The planet has hit a barrier which prevents any widespread social progress—drugs and other biochemical substances. These can put people into a condition which not only prohibits and destroys physical health but which can prevent any stable advancement in mental or spiritual well-being."
The Church of Scientology supports the Truth About Drugs, one of the world's largest nongovernmental drug education and prevention campaigns, and Scientologists on five continents volunteer year-round to make this program broadly available. It has been conclusively proven that when young people are provided with the truth about drugs—factual information on what drugs are and what they do—usage rates drop commensurately.

High end fashion brands and make up don't always work. I mean what happened to Dolce & Gabbana after the initial excitement. What about Calvin Klein and the endless relaunches?
Burberry cosmetics, from the bits and pieces I have tried, is veryyyy nice. I recently tried one of their Complete Eye Palettes, which features four complementary shades:
Top, L-R: 01 Smokey Grey, 02 Mocha, 03 Pale Nude
Bottom, L-R: Dark Spice 05, Plum Pink 06, Pink Taupe 07
Where is 04? I don't know, and no amount of Googling is making it clearer. Either something will be unveiled or someone at Burberry had a brain fart.
They say:
A quartet of densely pigmented, coordinating eye colours that enrich the skin and remain vibrant all day.
The formulation of each shadow has been customised to give a targeted texture for a specific use: luminising base highlighter, two medium colours to add shape, and an intense liner.
The skin protecting, glide-on formula is blended with satin smooth silicones and enriching conditioners.
The packaging:
The palette comes in a Burberry pattern pouch which opens up to reveal three applicators (brush, sponges) so is actually quite useful to keep.
I really like the gunmetal coloured packaging – it's not too big and clunky, but it's also very heavy and substantial, which I like with a premium branded product. It opens easily and has a mirror inside the lid. I am glad that the packaging leaves no room for the applicators, and that that is instead held in the case.
Looking at the images above, if I were buying blind I'd go for 01 Smokey Grey or 02 Mocha. I was sent 05 Dark Spice to try which looks lovely but I wondered if it would be too warm. In fact – its' gorgeous and wearable!
There's a pale ochre shade – it does work as a highlight/base, I was concerned it would be too yellow but it's find. The mid brown is a warm chocolate and the darker brown has gold pearl shot through it. The black is a deep intense jet black which works well for lining.
The texture of this palette is really lovely, so creamy and soft, and pigmented too. I like it more than Chanel quads that's for sure and more than many of the high end palettes I have tried recently.
I have used the colours on the eye look below- the lightest as a base, the next shade in the crease, the dark gold in the outer corner then black to line.
So lovely! I wouldn't mind owning the plum palette or the smokey. I hope they bring out some brighter fun colours too although Burberry tends to stick to elegant neutral shades. We'll see.
You can buy the palettes here for £40.
What do you think of Burberry?

HR Exec: Taking Aim at Workplace Bullies
Thursday, July 10th, 2014
By David Shadovitz | Human Resource Executive, July 10, 2014
Anti-bullying legislation continues to gain momentum in state legislatures, with Tennessee becoming the first state to pass anti-bullying legislation.
On June 17, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam signed into law the Healthy Workplace Act, a law that affects the practices of state and local government agencies. Private employers are not affected.
The law defines "harassment, intimidation or bullying" as any act that "substantially interferes with a person's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment," and instructs the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernment Relations to create a model policy by next March. Employers have the option to adopt the TACIR policy or not. Those deciding to enact it would be immune from claims arriving from bullying behavior.
Proponents of anti-bullying legislation and experts believe other states could soon follow in the Volunteer State's footsteps, with some pointing to New York and Massachusetts as the most likely to pass anti-bullying laws that would also include private-sector employers.
So far, 28 states have introduced anti-bullying legislation this year, according to the Workplace Bullying Institute in Bellingham, Wash.
In June, Puerto Rico Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla vetoed legislation that would have held both public- and private-sector employers in that territory accountable for workplace bullying. In doing so, Padilla pointed to the Department of Justice's view that the definition of "workplace harassment" is too vague and the fact that victims of workplace bullying can still seek protection under the territory's Constitution.
Gary Namie, national director of the Workplace Bullying Institute and a chief architect of the Healthy Workplace Act, says his reaction to the Tennessee law is generally positive. Any legislation that focuses on abusive conduct in the workplace breaks the silence, he says. "You're going to have all of the institutions talking about it now."
But while he considers the Tennessee law a good first step, Namie adds that he's disappointed by the legislation's limited scope and authority, describing it as a "gutted" version of the Healthy Workplaces Act.
Namie notes that it's also unfortunate that under the act "all of the processes still happen in-house under a shroud of secrecy . . . . "Everything remains internal."
Recent studies confirm that bullying continues to be a widespread and troubling issue in workplaces.

Consensus Report
Critical Aspects of EPA's IRIS Assessment of Inorganic Arsenic: Interim Report (2013)Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
This report reviews critical aspects of the scientific literature on inorganic arsenic and a draft plan by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that describes how the agency will perform its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) assessment of the potential health effects of oral exposure to this chemical. The report finds that EPA's draft plan includes improved approaches for evaluating evidence and conducting analyses but should take greater advantage of the robust database on inorganic arsenic in order to reach the best evidence-based conclusions. Furthermore, the report recommends alternative statistical approaches for developing risk estimates.
Key Messages
- EPA's draft planning documents outline an improved approach to determining the cancer and noncancer effects that may be associated with exposure to inorganic arsenic, and describe how a causal determination framework will be used to categorize evidence on different health end points into five possible categories. The committee supports this five-tier approach, and recommends that judgments are characterized with respect to standard criteria for causality.
- EPA has indicated that several systematic reviews of the scientific literature will be used to support its toxicologic assessment of inorganic arsenic. A statistical technique called meta-analysis could also be used as an evaluation tool to pool evidence from systematic reviews if certain conditions are met. The report provides guidance on how the agency should proceed with conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
- EPA's draft plans outline an evaluation process to organize mechanistic information to inform dose–response modeling with respect to the shape of the curve, particularly in the low dose region of the curve, and the understanding of human variability. The committee supports EPA's plans to perform mode-of-action analyses for health outcomes on which there appears to be a causal or likely to be causal relationship with inorganic arsenic. The report provides further guidance on the approach such analyses could take.
- Multiple factors can affect susceptibility to inorganic arsenic, including life stage, genetic factors, sex, nutritional deficiencies, health status, lifestyle (for example, smoking and alcohol consumption), and coexposures. The committee agrees with EPA's proposal to use probabilistic approaches in considering the uncertainty and variability associated with those factors.
- Epidemiologic data are expected to serve as the basis for the dose-response analyses performed for most health effects. EPA's efforts should be directed at performing dose-response analyses in the range of epidemiologic observations. Should the data in the range of observation be inadequate for developing risk estimates that meet EPA's needs, mode-of-action data should be used to the extent possible to extrapolate below the observed range. The committee concurs with EPA's draft plan that even if a mode of action cannot be determined with reasonable certainty, dose-response analyses should be performed on health end points deemed to have a causal or likely causal relationship with arsenic. In the absence of mode-of-action data, alternative statistical approaches are recommended.

Rain Brings an End to Loss to Chicagoby Brent Harris • April 16, 2011 Share:
Rain shortened a scheduled nine-inning contest Saturday between the University of Chicago and the Little Giants at Wabash Ballpark. The visiting Maroons claimed a 21-7 victory over Wabash thanks in part to a 14-run inning in the sixth.
View photos from the Little Giants' game against Chicago here.
Chris Deig (right) managed to collect three hits in four at bats for Wabash, as did Montana Timmons. Timmons produced two RBI, including a run-scoring triple for his third three-base hit of the season. Freshman Charlie Kolisek added his first triple of the season after coming off the bench midway through the game.
Scott Kickbush (below left) recorded his first two hits of the season, while Alex Flynn made the most of his first career hit by blasting a two-run triple to center field in the seventh.
Wabash nearly matched Chicago (11-6) in hits with 16 compared to 14 for the Maroons. However, Little Giant pitchers surrendered seven walks in the loss.
The Little Giants will play their final regular season home game on Sunday with a pair of seven-inning contest against Wittenberg University. The first pitch is slated for 1 p.m., with the official Wabash Ballpark dedication ceremony to precede the start of the game. Wabash will honor the six senior members of the 2011 team in between games one and two on Sunday.

TAMPA, Fla. — The conventional wisdom is that this week's Republican National Convention needs to make Mitt Romney more "likable" — to replace his image as a frosty billionaire with the warmer (and, friends say, more accurate) picture of a family man, devout Mormon and private do-gooder.
And yes, the convention began on Tuesday with biographical tributes, testimonials to Mitt the mensch and an appealing speech from the candidate's appealing wife, Ann Romney, who said: "You can trust Mitt.... He will take us to a better place."
But likability isn't Romney's real problem. If likability were a necessary part of electability, Richard M. Nixon wouldn't have won two presidential elections.
Instead, what Romney needs to do at this convention is convince struggling middle-class voters that he will address their needs more effectively than President Obama has.
Romney's advisors here were heartened this week by polls showing their candidate running even with Obama, even before the three-day infomercial of the convention. The same polls show him winning on the key question of which candidate voters trust more to fix the economy.
But there's also a poll number that's a headache for Romney: the one showing that most voters think that his policies as president would favor the wealthy. For Obama, the numbers are reversed: Most voters said his policies favor the middle class.
VIDEO: Mitt Romney's Road to Tampa
Since almost 90% of Americans consider themselves members of the middle class, that's a problem for Romney, one far more serious than the silly issue of likability.
So the real goal of Team Romney in Tampa this week is this: To show voters a new side of their candidate — not warm-and-fuzzy Mitt, but Middle-Class Mitt.
Romney won't claim to be a son of the middle class (that would strain credulity, even among the faithful), but he will try to show that middle-income families, not just the wealthy, would benefit from the changes he seeks.
COMMENTARY AND ANALYSIS: Presidential Election 2012
Expect to hear less about capital gains tax rates and more about jobs, higher take-home pay, even better training programs for the unemployed.
Expect to hear the words "middle class" a lot too; every Romney surrogate I've talked to here at the convention seems to be reading from the same set of talking points.
The retooling of the Romney message began several weeks ago, when the candidate boiled his 59-point "Plan for Jobs and Economic Growth" down to a five-point "Plan for a Stronger Middle Class." The proposals were the same, but the emphasis was different: more about help for small businesses, less about tax cuts.
Middle-Class Mitt faces several obstacles, however.
For one thing, Obama and his campaign claimed the territory first. The president has been relentless in wrapping the words "middle class" around his programs — and in portraying Romney as the kind of businessman who eliminates jobs more often than he creates them.
Voters "don't know much about Mitt Romney, and they have been told a bunch of terrible things about him," said former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, mockingly reeling off a list: "He doesn't care about people like you. He ships jobs to China.... He's a plutocrat married to a known equestrian."
But the problem isn't Romney's wealth — or even the fact that Ann Romney is a "known equestrian;" it's his policies and the language he uses to describe them.
Americans don't merely admire the rich, especially the working rich; we vote for them all the time. Heck, we'd like to be them.
But Romney is a rich man whose policies often sound — to many voters, anyway — aimed at helping job creators more than job holders. His tax plan's centerpiece, for example, is a reduction in all income tax rates by 20%, a change that would benefit high-income, high-tax households most. Critics charge that a cut that deep would require eliminating middle-class tax breaks like the mortgage interest deduction; Romney says he would protect the middle class, but he hasn't spelled out how. Meanwhile, his plan also eliminates several tax breaks for the working poor; in some cases, their tax bills would go up as everyone else's went down.
Romney has sometimes sounded as if he were still stuck in the GOP primaries, describing his economic plan as a quest for economic freedom (whose benefits conservatives take as self-evident) rather than a step-by-step program to revive the economy. But voters who believe that tax cuts are the best way to spur growth have already made up their minds. Romney needs a few more undecided voters, the ones without strong views on economic theory, if he is to win.
And, of course, Romney has to sound as if he means it. For a candidate who has long faced charges that he flip-flops, another retooling won't be risk-free.
It's fashionable to dismiss the conventions as outmoded, bloated talkathons — and they are. But this year, the conventions might also matter. After a summer of squabbling over less important issues, Romney and Obama now have a chance to begin a clear head-to-head debate over the central question of the election: Who has the better plan for reviving the economy?

Even when the cause of an aircraft accident seems straightforward, the reasons it happened can be difficult to untangle. That's especially true of fatal accidents where the pilots can no longer explain their thinking. Leaving aside one or two deliberate suicides each year, they presumably had every intention of living to fly another day. What led them to put themselves and their aircraft at risk?

Shortly after 6 a.m. on Nov. 1, 2012, a Cessna 320 Skyknight took off from Runway 17 of the San Marcos, Texas, Municipal Airport. Conditions were not only dark—it was an hour and three quarters before dawn, and civil twilight wouldn't begin for another seventy-five minutes—but foggy, with visibility decreasing from 2 ½ miles under a 400-foot overcast. The solo 66-year-old private pilot was not instrument-rated, and sure enough, the turbocharged twin crashed just after takeoff, killing him. The accident site was barely a mile from the departure end of the runway.
The NTSB concluded that the accident resulted from the VFR-only pilot's decision to take off "in night instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in spatial disorientation and a loss of control." No surprise there—but why on earth did a competent, sane, and apparently contented man ever try such a thing?
The Skyknight had spent the past eight months in a shop at San Marcos having its exterior painted and interior refurbished. The owner had arrived to pick it up on the afternoon of Oct. 30. As he inspected the work, he was advised that a run-up had been done two days earlier; the left engine was very rough and wouldn't idle. In a second run-up the next day, the left engine seemed better but still wouldn't idle below 900 rpm. The owner replied that he "knew the engine was not running properly" but expected it to smooth out after it had been operated for a while, and recalled that a similar problem with the right engine had been traced to a bad diaphragm in the fuel-injection spider. He told the shop manager that he'd have the left engine looked at after he got home to North Dakota—a distance of more than 1,000 nautical miles.
The twin Cessna was a relatively new acquisition. The pilot and his wife had found it in Oklahoma, where it had apparently sat largely inactive for about 10 years. It took mechanics from two different facilities to get it running well enough to be flown, and it would seem that it was still essentially in its original 1967 condition, right down to the 360-channel radios. He told the co-owner of the San Marcos shop that he planned to have the panel and radios upgraded next. The shop's A&P recalled that "the King radios were so [old] that the plastic shield that is in front on the digital display was deformed and falling off the radio." The transponder was placarded inoperative.
San Marcos is outside Austin's Class C airspace, so a transponder isn't required for a VFR departure. However, both ground control (120.125) and tower (126.825) use frequencies the Skyknight's radios couldn't tune. In a conversation with the shop owners the day before, the pilot explained that he planned to take off before the tower opened "due to his inability to contact [them]." He also assured them that "leaving in bad weather was not an option" and lamented "the bad judgment used by pilots who were in a hurry to get home." The instructor who'd given him his multiengine training told investigators that he was "very careful at all times … [and] never exhibited any hazardous attitudes during training."
Though legal in VMC, taking off before dawn on a thousand-mile trip in a twin with its critical engine running poorly, no transponder, and radios unable to tune in half the frequencies now in use suggests a fairly relaxed approach to flight planning. That seems to have extended to other details as well. The shop owners recalled that the previous day he said he'd checked the weather and "believed it would be good flying conditions," but there is no record that he actually got a weather briefing the morning of the accident—and San Marcos' AWOS frequency is 120.825, another channel his radios couldn't get. Is it possible he took off expecting to climb through a little ground fog into clear skies, only to find himself in the clouds instead?
In most respects, this was the kind of person general aviation could use more of. He was an Air Force veteran and a successful inventor whose patented transport cradle for large agricultural sprayers won admiration—and customers—on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border. Neighbors credit him with almost single-handedly keeping his rural home airport open, even spending substantial amounts of his own money on emergency paving and other repairs. It's tragic to think that something as simple as a handheld radio—or merely waiting until it was light enough to see the sky—might have saved him from trying to take off on a morning he should have stayed on the ground.

Inspired by the true events of the 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight en route from Tel Aviv to Paris, and the most daring rescue mission ever attempted. Starring Rosamund Pike, Daniel Brühl, and Eddie Marsan.
A shocking act of terrorism leads to one of the most daring hostage rescue missions ever attempted. In the summer of 1976, an Air France jet traveling from Tel Aviv to Paris is taken over in midair by four hijackers; two Palestinians and two left-wing German radicals. When the plane is diverted to an abandoned terminal at Entebbe Airport in Uganda, the terrified passengers become bargaining chips in a deadly political standoff. As the likelihood of finding a diplomatic solution fades, the Israeli government sets in motion an extraordinary plan to free the prisoners before time runs out. Combining vivid historical details with pulse-quickening suspense, creates a powerful depiction of an international crisis that stunned the world.

He attended his first junior day this past Saturday at Charlotte. "It's really nice," said Sedergran. "The facilities are amazing. They're all brand new and built specifically for football. Plus, it's close to home which would make it a nice place to play." Richmond is next up for him. This summer he plans to attend several one-day camps including Clemson but plans to visit the Upstate prior to that. "I'm going to go down there with one of my coaches so that we can talk to the some of the Clemson coaches," he said. Wake Forest, NC State, Charlotte and Richmond have all had coaches stop by his schools to see him. Sedergren does not have any favorites and remains interested in the Tigers.

The first night the entire internet took a group listen to In Rainbows, "All I Need" pulled ahead as an early favorite for its Boards Of Canada-inspired "Roy G. Biv"ing and its apparently lovelorn lyrics: "i am a moth / who just wants to share your light / i'm just an insect / trying to get out of the night." That's romance and desperation Thom Yorke style, or at least so it seemed in context of the most human Radiohead album yet, and when backed by that babymaking drum/keyboard vamp.
Turns out "All I Need" may be speaking to a lot more than babymaking, though, at least in Radiohead's eyes, and now also in ours.
This comes via Hollywood Reporter:
Under the music broadcaster's EXIT (end exploitation and trafficking) campaign, MTV and Radiohead have jointly produced a video for the "In Rainbows" track "All I Need"…
Yorke said the band linked with MTV to highlight such issues as child slavery, enforced servitude and sex trafficking because it was "about exploiting a situation while you have the chance."
"All power to MTV for taking this on because its obviously going to be difficult for them in terms of the advertisers," he said. "With the ('All I Need') video, their lawyers had to beg to make sure there wasn't a single white trainer with a logo on it because the implication would be a little too close. But the implication is still there."
It's a day in the life, in two very different hemispheres, for two children playing very different hands — and its deeply inspiring.
That extended look at the sneakers at the end there, with Phil's crash cymbal ringing out, is one of the more emotionally charged moments in a music video that we can remember. And really, "All I Need" works well accompanying any footage with gravitas. See also: this fan vid pairing the song with footage from 1996 French film Microcosmos, which will make you sign up for Greenpeace immediately after you the official one above has made you a large scale donor to UNICEF.
Also worth mentioning: don't expect the In Rainbows follow-up to be UP TO YOU NO REALLY IT'S UP TO YOU. And we quote:
"I think it was a one-off response to a particular situation," Yorke said of the band's downloading policy for the album "In Rainbows."
"It was one of those things where we were in the position of everyone asking us what we were going to do," he said. "I don't think it would have the same significance now anyway, if we chose to give something away again. It was a moment in time."
You know what was the most exciting part about this whole bit? Typing the words In, Rainbows, and follow-up.

Madden as Deal of the Day?Post Reply
Haha...This reminds me of one of the Angry Video Game Nerd's episode. >_<
"Who the hell is John Madden? He doesn't even look like an athlete!" x'D

Ok I would like to think I have an open mind, but really Madden as the Deal of the Day? WTF Crunchyroll! Really I come to this site for anime and drama. Heck I even like Eyeshield 21, but honestly dreck like Madden is not what I ever expected to see Crunchyroll shilling. I know it's the f-in StupidBowl, and I assume that CR is trying to make some cash on that, still no excuse. Super expensive figures of questionable taste, BluRays and DVD's of anime and drama, even Fu, and the occasional anime related game totally cool, I expect that here, seeing Madden makes me mad! Nothing against football but why here? Am I the only one who is offended by this?
I was actually kinda impressed that was the gaming deal of the day. I love me some anime but to see a game being the deal of the day that didn't have the (imported from Japan) charging $80 was refreshing. lol It really did shock me though for a second. Love for variety though.
^this guy knows wassup.
aeonfish wrote:
This is truth. But honestly Madden? It's just a missed opportunity to have something that might appeal to more of the users of CR. So the sad. On the other hand maybe I'm wrong and many of the people on CR do want Madden!
I'm not into Madden myself, but my younger brother loves sports AND anime. He can name off any stat of any player in nearly any major sport, and in the same sentence talk to me about how freaked out from School Days he was. Just because YOU don't like Madden, doesn't mean there aren't plenty of other people who do. There's no rule that CR has to post only anime stuff.
They are just trying to get rid of the copies they have before Madden 14 comes out.
Unconditional love is what makes life worth living.
I hate football(and sports in general) personally, but I don't see a need to be straight up offended over what they chose to sell. If they actually got a decent amount of sales off of it, good for them I guess. If they didn't, then you probably won't see them try it again.
What's there to be offended by the madden games are good I'm sure that there are plenty of people who would agree.
Ready for more Gintama

For Men having a fat reduced chin was previously only a dream now its possible with LA Lipo and our fat freezing treatment. Cryolipolysis is a proven treatment for Men thats safe and cost effective.
LA Lipo Cryolipolysis system for Chin Warwickshire
Do you hate your double chin and that ever stretchy and fatty chin? Well, finally there could be an answer for the middle age crisis. It can be easy to hide wobbly bottoms and a flabby tummy under clothes, but it is not the case with a double chin. In fact, it becomes tricky to choose what to wear. Low necks tend to show off every bit of the chin, while high necks draw attention to the area. On the other hand, trying to lose weight doesn't help since only legs tend to get slimmer, the stomach may shrink as well as the bum, but your double chin and the chubby cheeks will not change. So, what should you do?
Liposuction or Cryolipolysis
Liposuction is a very painful operation, and one of the most common procedures women and men with chubby cheeks and double chins choose. The healing process may be lengthy, and the patient could also incur high costs. Today, however, there is a new non-invasive treatment method used to zap double chins- the cryolipolysis procedure. This procedure is used to reduce fat in areas of the body that are a little tricky to tone through exercise or diet. You can expect a little reddening and numbness for a short while, but the process is completely painless. After the treatment, there are no permanent side effects related to the fat metabolism or the skin. Your skin texture and colour are also not altered. More so, nerve damage and blisters do not occur, meaning the procedure is completely safe for men of all ages as long as there is good emotional, mental, and physical health.
Why La Lipo Warwickshire?
La Lipo Warwickshire offers cryolipolysis services that are painless and ensure you lose face fat in the shortest time possible. There are many treatments for managing double chins, but some of them have been seen to cause saggy faces and deformed chins. The services offered by Cryolipolysis subject your face to low temperatures through thermal conduction revolving around the fact that fat cells are quickly damaged through cooling. With the reliance of the best systems in the industry, our clients are assured of fast results at affordable costs.
Physical appearance can dictate your character and self-worth to the larger extent. When you focus on the physical appearance, the facial details come in first. Chubby cheeks can quickly fade your beauty and taking photos can also be an issue. For this reason, La Lipo has the ultimate solution for helping such men reduce excess fat in the face and the chin. Our team in Warwickshire are insured and trained on how to operate on your face professionally. If you have a double chin and fatty appearance, we are what you need for a tauter and a better-defined face.

The King's Speech: Four Tips to Giving a Stellar Speech
The King's Speech is getting a ton of buzz at the box office, but when it comes down to oratory skills, even if you don't have a stammering problem you may find it challenging to make a speech. Whether it's simply stage fright or the occasional stutter, if you're giving a presentation at work, chances are you'll need to brush up on some skills to become convincing and confident at the podium.
While you may not have skills as eloquent as President Obama, Peter Handal, the president, CEO and chairman of Dale Carnegie Training says there are four critical elements we must keep in mind in order to become an effective speaker.
1. Dress the part. In front of an audience, you automatically put yourself and more importantly, your image on display. All eyes will be on you. Literally! "Ensure that you have covered off the finer points – hair brushed, shoes cleaned, clothes ironed, nails cleaned and clipped," says Handal. "If your appearance is impeccable you will speak confidently and appear authoritative."
2. Own the topic. Be prepared to know the subject inside and out, backward and forward. His advice? "Many people forget to practice, practice, practice."
3. Keep it simple. Ever listened to a speaker drone on and on and completely miss their point? Don't be that guy or gal. Handal says your message should be concise and easy to summarize in one sentence. "Focus on three or four main points and make sure they clearly tie back to your thesis."
4. Consider every angle. Yes, this means to prepare yourself and of course, your speech, for potential holes before you present it. Know your audience and prepare your presentation based on that knowledge. "If you have responses ready, you will be able to quickly and efficiently dismiss critiques, looking even more knowledgeable in the process," Handal advises. "Look at challenges to your point of view as an opportunity to show how flawless your argument really is."

This is another item from my Grandmother's home - the base is stamped Manufactured and Plated by Reed & Barton with the number 90 below it. The matching squirrels are 2" high. The second picture is of the base. My husband wants to hang it on the wall using the two holes, he thinks you can hang something on it. I think those are just casting marks, and I'm guessing a pen rest from inkwell days. Thanks for your input!

"You Cannot Risk Your Life to Make a Film"
How did you come up with the idea of an "Independent Film and Television College"?
Kasim Abid: After the war there was a lot of discussion and talk about what we as Iraqis should do for Iraq. Having lived and studied abroad we all had experience living in the west. Some of the people said, okay, we have to wait until the situation settles down. Then we can go back.
Others said, no, if we want to do something, we must do it now because Iraq needs experts right now. So me and my colleague Maysoon Pachachi did not wait. We thought, if we manage to do something, whatever it is, if we manage to move life one centimeter forward, it will be a victory.
We did not want to sit down and talk and complain, no! I remember when somebody asked me the same question I said to him: "There is a Chinese proverb that says: Light a candle instead of cursing the darkness". We believe in this proverb.
What were the major problems you were facing in the beginning?
Abid: You need equipment and money. During the sanctions all of that had been in short supply and that put a lot of Iraqi filmmakers in a very difficult situation concerning making a living. A lot of filmmakers were working as taxi drivers or booksellers or something like that. The consequences of the sanctions were enormous. After we came back, all the equipment had been stolen or destroyed.
The first step was to set up a college and offer training for young Iraqi filmmakers, supply the necessary equipment and teach them how to build a story from reality. In the beginning, we were planning on offering six or seven courses every year. We ended up doing just one because of the security situation.
The first course on documentaries started in October 2004, and instead of finishing it in three months, it took us twelve. To arrange one day shooting takes days, if not weeks, again because of concerns for the safety of our students. So the training for the camera work and the sound was done on the roof of buildings, among the satellite dishes and wires, not on the street.
But the result of the first course was four documentary films, and these films have been wide-screened all over the world, in the UK, the USA, in Switzerland and in Germany.
Last year we started a second course on documentary film in Baghdad. A few days before we started it, there was the explosion in Samarra at the Shia shrine and we faced a big dilemma. I did not know whether we were able to continue the project or whether we should stop it because the security situation in Baghdad had completely collapsed.
Because of the sectarian violence you were in danger of your life just because your name is Omar or Osman or Ali or Hussein. I then asked the students: "Do you want to continue or do you want to stop?" It was unbelievable, but everyone of them said: "We want to continue."
Why do you think that is?
Abid: Most of our students came from the academy of art. They studied cinema four years but they never make a film until they came here. And we continue working with them. Hiba Bassem (director of "Baghdad Days") has now made her second film. Munaf Shaker (the director of "Umar Is My Friend") has made his second film, too. It will be shown on Al-Dschazira International in English language soon. Hiba's film, too.
How do you finance the courses? Are there student fees?
Abid: The courses are free of charge. Basically we get founding from media charity organizations, some money from educational institutions in Britain and from the Trade Union in Britain.
Does the Iraqi government support you?
Abid: From the Iraqi government we do not get a single penny. They don't support cinema. They support religious festivals. Cinema is something far away from their minds.
How much money does your institute need for a year?
Abid: We need around 50,000 to 60,000 dollars per year. But now while the college in Baghdad is not being used we still have to pay the rent. I left Baghdad last June because it was very dangerous I could not cope any more. We finished the first part of the documentary course, then I left the cameras and the rest of the equipment for the students to start shooting. I keep in touch with them through e-mail. I already saw most of the films. They send them to me to Damascus.
I did not return to Baghdad after last June because on the July 21st my brother had been kidnapped and killed, and another brother was threatened twice by religious extremists. Our family has started to dismantle.
Have you been threatened in your school?
Abid: No, because we keep a very low profile. I refused all interviews for newspapers or television. There was only one single advertisement in the beginning.
Have your students been threatened by religious groups?
Abid: We hold our courses on the top of the roof. We do not go out on the streets. But a couple of weeks ago a student of ours was filming in a café when there was a bomb attack on the street; the café collapsed. But he continued his work. Then two people approached him, took the camera and the tapes and forced him to come with them. He managed to run away, but they shot him twice. He is in the hospital now but he might loose his leg.
You have transferred your college to Damascus…
Abid: But only temporarily. Once the situation will settle down in Baghdad we will return. We are now editing five of our students' films there. We are planning to run a new documentary course in autumn, if things go well. We will bring in some students from Iraq, but there will also be another course in Damascus because currently there are over a million Iraqis in Damascus and there are a lot of young Iraqi filmmakers among them. They are waiting for us to start our next course.
Cinema can only develop where there is stability, when you are safe while working. You cannot risk your life to make a film.

billanin had een nieuw logo ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit78 ontwerpen ingezonden door17 freelance designers.
Family owned & operated business in the school portrait industry. The school portrait industry photographs children from ages 5-18. (kindergarten thru high school) Typical business models utilize professional photographers to handle picture day and an extensive post process to produce the finished product for Mom & Dad. Significant portions of picture day sales are donated back to school making for one of largest fund raising opportunity a school has. Our company has always provided cutting edge products and solutions to the schools and our end consumer (Mom & Dad). We have leveraged web presence, online ecommerce and multiple marketing techniques to position our company as a leader in this industry. Our new extension called Mypicturepartner.com will allow us to rapidly expand into territories we currently do not service. You must keep in mind that this new model uses picture day volunteers found at the school to take the pictures! The benefit to the school is a siginificantly larger portion of sales back to the school.
This new model is considered extremely disruptive to the marketplace. While we will use traditional methods to make picture day possible it is the volunteers found at each school who will actually take this campaign successful. We will partner with the school to help train and market picture day to the parents. We will need to instill confidence in the volunteers who will be taking the pictures.
Our typical volunteer is a stay at home Mom who is highly involved at their childs school. They love to be behind a camera and have the will to make a big difference in their school. They view our company as an opportunity to provide a great service to their community all the while making money for the school.
No constraints on the design. Keep in mind that our typical customer will be a Mom ages 30-45. Our partnership with them is extremely important. They need us to hold their hand thru the entire process from planning picture day to actually taking the portraits. The company needs to appeal to this demographic more than others - but not be too feminine.
