Midweek Madness raises its mug to 'Carmina Burana'
By Tim Smith, The Baltimore Sun
June 5, 2013
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is trotting out "Carmina Burana" for its next program , excuse enough for Midweek Madness to hoist a few brewskis in the general direction of Carl Orff's indestructible cantata (not that Midweek Madness ever indulges in said beverage).
Two shot in separate muggings overnight in Annapolis
By Carrie Wells, The Baltimore Sun
January 21, 2014
Two men were shot and injured in separate robberies Monday night and early Tuesday morning in Annapolis, though police said both were expected to survive. In the first incident, Brett Shumaker, 32, of Harwood, attempted to fight two men trying to rob him as he walked on a footbridge near the unit block of Silopanna Road and was shot multiple times, police said. The men, one armed with a gun and the other with a knife, approached Shumaker at around 10 p.m. Monday and demanded his belongings, while Shumaker pulled out a knife and tried to fight back.
Ovaltine mug worth a hot $50
By Anne McCollam and Anne McCollam,Copley News Service
August 28, 1994
Q: We have a ceramic "Little Orphan Annie" mug from the 1930s. It is three inches tall and was an Ovaltine premium. Is it worth anything?A: Little Orphan Annie was a comic character created by Harold Gray in 1924. When she debuted on radio, Ovaltine was the sponsor. The mug was just one of the many premiums offered by Ovaltine. "Hakes Guide to Comic Character Collectibles" by Ted Hake lists a mug, circa 1932, similar to yours at $50.Q: I have a Staffordshire figurine of a poodle that was given to my parents as a wedding gift in 1912.
Piercing the bubble of calm
By Shawn Gude
September 26, 2013
Last week, I got mugged. Or, quasi-mugged. My urge to imbibe thwarted by Baltimore's proscription of Sunday liquor store sales, I'd ended up in the back of Charles Village Pub with a book and a Dale's Pale Ale. After a couple hours of reading and rumination, I paid my tab. Walking the three blocks back from the bar and talking on the phone, I had just entered the alley abutting my apartment when a gun-wielding figure appeared from behind....
As taps run dry, Mug Club says cheers to brewery
By ROB KASPER
February 2, 2005
AT THE TABLES in DeGroen's Grill on Albemarle Street, the place where the Baltimore Brewing Co. dwells, the members of the Mug Club sit at the dear old copper bar they know so well and raise their glasses high, draining the brewery's last kegs. After 15 years of brewing German-style beers that made men weep for joy, that helped transform scholarly librarians into high-fiving football fans, that encouraged city building inspectors to rub shoulders with professors, doctors and museum docents, the Baltimore Brewing Co. is brewing no more.
HUD chief orders recall of unshaven mug shots

June 10, 1993
First there was the $200 haircut. Now there's the $2,200 fiv o'clock shadow.Lamenting a stubble and a "just-woken-up" expression, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry G. Cisneros ordered his official portrait removed from 220 HUD offices from Baltimore to Honolulu last month.The 8-by-10 color photograph depicts Mr. Cisneros in a bureaucrat's navy blue suit in front of the American flag, but a dull facial expression sparked an order to yank the mug shot from the walls of HUD field and administrative offices where he shared the spotlight with a smiling President Clinton.

December 31, 1997
The Anne Arundel County Police Department may soon join a growing number of law enforcement agencies trying to speed investigations by scanning computerized images of suspects.File cabinets stuffed with mug shots may soon be relegated to dime-store detective novels if the County Council on Jan. 5 approves a $70,000 fund transfer to buy the technology.The system would use five digital cameras at police stations to snap pictures of suspects during booking, said Sgt. William Krampf, a police spokesman.

Computer system to obtain mug shots is hindering arrests, police complain State prison system says it's working on problems
By Peter Hermann and Peter Hermann,SUN STAFF
May 29, 1998
Baltimore police detectives cannot easily access mug shots from a computerized database run by the state prison system, drawing complaints from city investigators that arrests of potentially dangerous criminals are being hindered.A prison spokesman called the problem a "temporary glitch" that will be fixed in one to two months and allow detectives "to search to their hearts' content." City police, however, remain skeptical."It's a real concern to the Police Department," said Maj. Jeffrey Rosen, head of the Central Records Division, who said the state is a year behind in updating its mug shot equipment.

Police seek 3 in downtown mugging
August 3, 2013
Baltimore police are looking for help identifying three suspects in a downtown mugging last month. Three men assaulted and robbed a woman about 12:30 a.m. July 23 in the 200 block of South Sharp Street, near the Baltimore Convention Center, according to police. Police said the three were seen fleeing in a white four-door car with tinted windows and a sunroof. No auto make was available, but police said the robbers were captured on surveillance video . Investigators from the Central District ask that people with information — who may remain anonymous — call 410-396-2240.

Governor Martin O'Malley narrowly avoided a minor Twitter storm over beer Saturday morning after making a bet with the governor of California on the Super Bowl .

Bar food rides high at Cowboys & Rednecks Pub
By Kit Waskom-Pollard, For The Baltimore Sun
January 30, 2013
With country music blaring, honky-tonk decor, and a menu stacked with smokehouse favorites, Cowboys & Rednecks (also known as CNR) is hardly shy about its theme. We half expected the hostess to greet us with a "Yeehaw!" CNR's owner, Federal Hill resident and big-time country music fan Guy Naylor, opened the bar in late 2011, imagining that it would be a fun addition to his neighborhood. Local bar-hoppers agreed; CNR is often packed to overflowing on weekend nights. CNR's success as a bar is uncontested, but its status as a go-to restaurant is less confirmed.
After six years, Ugly Mug in Eldersburg still taking shape ... slowly
By Katie V. Jones
July 7, 2012
For the past six years, the building at 6228 Sykesvillle Road (Route 32), in Eldersburg, once known as Nathan Henry's Restaurant, has stood empty. But it hasn't been forgotten. The nondenominational Journey Church Community has been planning to turn the site into the Ugly Mug, which organizers describe as a not-for-profit coffee/cafe/concert house for the community, especially young adults. After six years of fundraising, campaigns, setbacks and road blocks, proponents say the goal is still alive - and in fact may be close to reality.
After a mugging, renewed faith in Baltimore
By Brett Schwartz
February 29, 2012
I was jumped last Friday night. Around 11 p.m., while reaching for my keys to enter my apartment building, I was grabbed from behind, hit in the face, thrown to the ground and punched repeatedly a few feet from my door. My teenage assailants surprisingly made no effort to take anything from me and ran off laughing as I gathered my bearings and staggered inside. Though I had a fat lip, a bruised cheek and a pounding headache, my encounter left me with no lasting scars. Instead, my experience put me in a reflective mood.
Perfect Uncle Wiggly mug may be worth $35 to $40 Market Value: Drinking milk with Ovaltine in the 1930s leads to payoff in the '90s.
By Ralph Kovel and Terry Kovel and Ralph Kovel and Terry Kovel,COWLES SYNDICATE
April 14, 1996
When I was a youngster, I drank a lot of milk with Ovaltine so I could send away for an Uncle Wiggly mug. I still have the mug. Can you tell me what it's worth?Ovaltine used the Uncle Wiggly mugs as a premium in 1930 and '31.There are two versions. One shows an Ovaltine sign on the house behind Uncle Wiggly. That's worth $40 in mint condition. The mug without the Ovaltine sign is worth $35 in mint condition.The back of a gold and fake ruby pin I own is marked `CoroCraft.` Do you have any information on the company?
Harford Road: A prime place to crawl
By Sam Sessa | email@example.com and Baltimore Sun reporter
February 26, 2010
Harford Road has long been home to a bevy of colorful bars. But in recent years, gentrification has left its mark on the two-mile stretch from Baltimore's Hamilton/Lauraville neighborhood to Parkville. This mix of newer, high-end watering holes and bizarre hometown bars makes Harford Road a prime destination for a bar crawl, where a group of adventurous drinkers hits up several spots in one night. Since each bar is one stop on a larger trek, the trick is to have a drink, then move on to the next destination.
The things we say
February 15, 2012
It was with a profound sense of personal validation that I opened Volume V of the Dictionary of American Regional English to discover an entry for the term my family back in Kentucky used for the chamber pot: thunder mug . There are also entries for thunder jar and thunder jug, little maps showing regional distribution. And I was also happy to see that what we called a sweat bee is also known as the hayfield wasp , the ice-cream bee , and other terms. For scholars of American English, this volume and the series it completes are a hoard of riches, and also a work of heroic proportions for more than four decades.

City of Salford comes together to prepare for the Apprenticeship Levy
Salford City College, in partnership with Salford City Council and the Morson Group hosted a recent event to support local business in their preparations for the imminent arrival of the Apprenticeship Levy.
Hosted at Morson HQ, Adamson House in Eccles, the event was extremely well attended by large local companies, all keen to find out how they can use their Apprenticeship Levy to support both their business skills requirements and also create more opportunities for local people.
Starting in April 2017, all organisations with a monthly PAYE return of over £25,0000, will pay 0.5% of their total monthly PAYE value into a digital Apprenticeship Levy account. This account will be theirs to spend on Apprenticeship training, both for new recruits to their organisation and any internal staff who require apprenticeship training.
Key speakers included College CEO/Principal John Spindler, CEO of Morson Group, Ged Mason and Salford City Mayor, Paul Dennett. The key message from Paul Dennet was, "If we get the Apprenticeship levy right, we can create great opportunities for young people in the future".
A Greater Manchester overview and context was provided by Nicola Hutchins, Head of Youth Initiatives at New Economy, and Nicky Martin, Employer and Delivery Services Manager at the Skills Funding Agency. Both provided the real detailed information on exactly how the Apprenticeship Levy will work and key details were addressed such as who pays the levy, what the funds can and cannot be used for, further funding, and maximising the Apprenticeship Levy in Greater Manchester.
Nicky spoke about how important it is to convey that Apprenticeships, just like any other educational pathway, is a true academic route and can be life changing as Salford City College's Zac Challinor has proven. (Read more on Zac here.)
Becki Ross, Head of HR at the Morson Group, used the opportunity to share with the audience the passion and belief her organisation has in apprenticeship training. In 2016 alone, the Morson Group have provided opportunities to 86 employees on their various Apprenticeship programmes, with much more to come in the future once the Apprenticeship Levy commences.
Salford City College are currently the number 1 performing Further Education College in Greater Manchester for Apprentices and are determined to ensure that local and regional business benefit from the Levy. Debbie Ward Director of Apprentices and Community at the College believes the opportunities are immense, she said, "For the first time ever, large employers will have their own funds available to invest in the Apprenticeship training they want. The funds come from their bottom line, so it makes absolute sense to reinvest it and ensure it benefits their business. By doing this, they will naturally be providing opportunities and careers for local people".
If your business is likely to be impacted by the Apprenticehsip Levy and you would like further information, please call the apprenticeship team directly on 0161 631 5555 to speak to one of our experts.

News & Reviews
New Monastism
"It's hard to be a Christian in America," writes Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, a leader in the new monasticism movement, a growing group of committed Christians who are living lives of radical discipleship and unearthing a fresh expression of Christianity. He takes readers inside new monasticism, tracing its roots through scripture and history and illuminating its impact on the contemporary church.
"It is my sincere hope that new monasticism will grow so strong and healthy and widespread that every follower of Jesus in every church has the opportunity, if not to actually live in a new monastic community, to at least have enough proximity and relationship to be influenced by it. This book can help that dream and prayer come true."
Brian McLaren,
author of Everything Must Change
"This is the most informative work to date on its subject. Written in fluid, accessible prose and without pretense, it is also rich in personal and historical insights. The result is a book that is both beguiling and highly credible."
Phyllis Tickle,
author of The Divine Hours
"This book demonstrates how embracing the lifestyle prescribed by Jesus is a realistic possibility in our present age. It also shows how countercultural Christianity can provide a needed critique of our self-centered, consumerist society."
Tony Campolo,
Eastern University
"This book is a scavenger hunt into Christian history and the abandoned places of Empire where the Spirit is stirring today. It's like digging around in the dirt trying to find the pearl we buried, the pearl that is so beautiful it's worth giving up everything else in the world for."
Shane Claiborne,
author of The Irresistible Revolution
"Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove is bringing things both old and new out of the great Christian storehouse! New monasticism is discovering what is always rediscovered--and always bears great life for the gospel."
Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM,
Center for Action and Contemplation

Giants CB Terrell Thomas told Dan Graziano of ESPN New York that he has not been in contract with the team regarding a contract extension and expects to reach the open market in the coming weeks.
"I know my agent will talk to them, and if they come back with something that's extremely favorable, I'd sign it," Thomas said. "But more than likely, I'm going to hit the market. I feel I owe it to myself, and I think the Giants understand that and would agree."
Thomas, 29, returned from back-to-back torn ACLs in 2013 and manged to play in all 16 games for the Giants. He produced 67 tackles, one sack, one interception and a forced fumble. Pro Football Focus rated him as the No. 52 cornerback in the league this season.
Graziano adds that there is a chance that Thomas could be back with the Giants next season, but they are expected to focus their attention on signing other free agents before getting to him.

I recently purchased some items from Loft online. I usually purchased them in store so I can try them on and if it fits well I will take it home. Since I don't live near a Loft now I have to order them online (btw, it's my first time). So, the order was placed on Saturday. I got shipping confirmation today but only three items are shipping and the other ones will be processed later. Two hours later I received another shipping confirmation of the other items. I googled online to see if others experienced the same thing. I didn't find anything reviews about the odd shipping practice but I ended up reading an article about Dead Letter Office.
The title was interesting and I had time so why not! After reading the article I found out all our lost mails aren't actually lost. The ones that failed during the process of delivering are sent to the Dead Letter Office. The contemporary name for that is The USPS Mail Recovery Center. That will be the last place your mail ends up if it doesn't reach you. After a certain amount of time, USPS will open the package and auction off the content to highest bidder. According to 99% invisible's site,
"Many of the bidders at these auctions are resellers, buying from the USPS and then immediately putting purchased goods back up for auction on websites like eBay."
For a while, USPS did have their own eBay page for auction but now it's moved to this site here. There's a link that directs you the government auction page and they sort the items out by categories. You can't believe how many accessories they many things they compiled!
Long story short. I'm glad my shipment is throughs UPS not USPS. I heard Fedex is the best out of all three service. I still have to do my research and dig in a little deeper, but this was interesting!

Finding my Vision in my Lack of Sight: My Journey from Blindness to International Gold Medalist
Growing up as typical as any child, I started losing my vision at age 10. 19 surgeries later, I was completely blind by my 17th birthday. Living a life as a blind person was not a choice I would have ever wanted, but instead of using it as an excuse to sink into self-pity and seclusion, Instead, I decided to transcend my circumstances and use my remaining abilities to forge myself into an athlete, nerd and activist.
I'll be offering a candid look at my experiences as I was losing my sight, the struggles I faced from school to University to finding jobs, and what motivated me throughout my journey to make myself the best human being I could be through higher education, sports and fitness and being a strong voice for the disability and blind community. All questions are encouraged, from general to personal, so you have a chance to see (or not!) the world through my eyes to discover that lack of sight doesn't mean lack of vision.

You have probably seen the Presidential limousine on television . . . or perhaps in a parade you attended. It is indeed a vehicle. It should be . . . the cost new is 1.5 million dollars.
I have a friend who bought from the government one of the Presidential limousines when it was "retired." I can tell you it is like no other car! Sitting in the backseat, you feel you are in a tank! It has armor plating . . . and a radar system. This radar system, with a visual monitor, will warn you and identify someone walking up to the vehicle. It has a night vision system and what is called 'run-flat' tires.
My friend's limousine had been stripped of many things such as an advanced communication system and defense counter-measures — which are classified, and I don't know what they were. Yet, I still felt so secure sitting in this vehicle. I can only imagine the limousine of 2015.
I can tell you that the present President's limousine has all these features of my friends, and much, much more. Because of the world in which we live, much has been improved and added. For instances, the armor plating is now 8 inches thick compared to 5 inches. The bullet proof windows now have been increased to five-inches thick. The present vehicle is now even protected against biochemical attacks, with the trunk containing a blood bank of the President's blood type, and an oxygen supply.
And there are yet other features that are classified. It is understandable the cost of such a vehicle. To say the least, I was overwhelmed with this limousine of several years ago. And to know the additions added today leaves me almost without comprehension.
But why a blog about the Presidential limousine? As I reflected on my friend's car and the present Presidential limousine, I realized that such a safe and secure vehicle speaks of just that – safety, protection, and security. And then suddenly I said to myself, "Isn't that what all of us desire?
Yes, it is! But we know that we may hide at times in such a limousine . . . or a bunker . . . or even hide our head under the covers believing that nothing will hurt us. I guess you could attempt to live in such a limousine, but there are sufficient armor-of-war that can destroy the vehicle! All reasonable people know there is utterly no place on this earth where we can always and forever be free of harm.
But, oh, there is a place of such security! Yet, it is not on this earth! I can confidently say that I have a place where I will never have to fear or worry about being harmed. There will come a day when the fears of this world will never exist for me. And that place will be that heavenly home. There will be no dangers there. Peace and security will be mine in that eternal place.
It is wonderful to live with such a hope! " . . . put your hope in God." (1 Timothy 6:7)

QC4000pro LX (SC2)
The QuickCam 4000 pro had to go
through a long exposure
modification following the
"SC2" approach as described by Martin Burri.
There is nothing much beyond Martin's remarks to be mentioned. The
modification went pretty straightforward. No pins are to be lifted in
this way of modifying, cutting PCB traces does the deal. I soldered
magnet wire (I have tons of this around for my radio projects) to the
pins of the ICs. The individual leads are connected to a kind of "patch
panel", the tiny bit of bread-board PCB glued to the camera opposite
the USB and microphone connector. Blue wires are making the final
connection to the 4011 hidden below the whole mess. The red and the
yellow wire (stereo phono cable) are serving as connection to the
parallel port of a computer.
BTW, in contrary to the ToUCam, this camera holds an infrared cut filter inside the objective lens bearing, thus no additional IR-filter is needed in a setup like shown here.
Camera front-side, no lens mounted.
For reasons of experimentation, the camera is built in tilted...
Additionally I spent money and obtained a
Ra-motor for the EQ2. Decent tracking is
a necessity for the long exposure times the
camera was modified for.
LX-astro imagesYou are invited to compare with the images recorded using Bellow-Cam MK1 and Bellow-Cam MK2. Messier 44 gives some impression about the benefits of longer exposures. Exposure time was chosen to be 10s/frame. Conditions on March 13th 2004 when I was acquiring data for the following image were fair (for this site), with the unarmed eye, I could see Orion's sword.

Today Ontario has passed new labour reform legislation, which includes raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
Now the minimum wage is 11.60 an hour, under the legislation, the minimum wage will rise to 14 dollars an hour on Jan. 1, 2018, with increase to $15 in 2019.
Here are 3 things you might want to know.
- Your paycheck might be smaller
Economics professor Darren Chapman at Fanshawe College explains what changes would happen with this wage increase.
"So those that are working may get 15 dollars an hour, they will get 15 dollars an hour, but those that are working might not get same the amount of hours as they had before, so paychecks may actually be smaller."
He also says with increased minimum wage, owners will be expecting workers to do more work and demanding higher productivity.
- You might pay more in restaurants but it's actually not too bad
The legislation mandates equal pay for part-time workers, increases vacation entitlements and expands personal emergency leave.
Higher minimum wage means higher price of labour for business owners, Chapman says with the new minimum wage, restaurants will raise their prices.
"So consumers will end up paying for the rise in the wages people are making but I think also recognize that for an extra dime that I pay for my coffee, it's going to make a world difference to somebody's life."
"It's the same thing when the gas goes up on the corner five cents a liter, all the other gas stations raise their price 5 cents a liter……If everybody raise the price, inflation goes up bit. Those that need the money the most which is on the low end, they will benefit more from the rising prices than those in the middle and upper end."
- Wage increase VS Inflation
There are two sides of inflation, the push side and the pull side. Chapman says because of the increased minimum wage, inflation is destined to happen, however, it is not bad at all.
"For the last ten years, we've had relatively low levels of inflation, so what happened is prices have gone up and wages stay relatively the same so people's buying power has been eroded over the last ten years."
"This is a step moving into the right direction so as the economy growing, we've got room in our economy to increase prices and absorb some of that inflation so I think overall it's good for us."

"It is clear that the European Union can no longer adequately respond to Russia's demonstrations of power, so it is comforting that at least the United States is finally stepping up," Roman Kuzniar, a professor at the Institute of International Relations at the University of Warsaw, said on Tuesday.
Mr. Putin's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and his continued support for pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine - along with provocative incursions into Ukraine's airspace, increased submarine patrols and large-scale military maneuvers near its western borders - have unsettled many of the former Communist states in the region and have led to increasing demands for a concrete Western response. The news from Washington was welcomed by several government officials.
"We appreciate President Obama's decision to boost funding for an increased U.S. military presence on the territory of NATO's front-line allies," the Czech Defense Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday. "The U.S. is the leader of the Atlantic alliance and has an indispensable role in making its collective deterrent sufficiently robust and credible."
Raimonds Bergmanis, the Latvian defense minister, said in a statement on Tuesday: "Deterrence is what we are after, and a decision by the U.S. authorities to preposition equipment in Central and Eastern Europe would send a clear message of resolve and determination."
The news was expected to draw a harsh reaction from the Kremlin and to prompt Mr. Putin to respond with a buildup of his own, although analysts doubted that it would inspire a new arms race.
"Russia will not welcome the strengthening of the American contingent in Europe, at the time when, regardless of the overall political difficulties, there is no risk of a direct military confrontation with NATO," said Igor Korotchenko, editor in chief of the Russian magazine National Defense. "This will make the system in Europe more unbalanced. It is one thing when the Americans deploy their forces in Spain, but it is very different when they deploy them in Poland, Romania or the Baltic States."
Still, Mr. Korotchenko added, "the response will not be hysteric."

A Zvimba man will spend 15 months in jail for rubbing his manhood over a 12-year-old boy's privates.
Chinhoyi Magistrate Patience Chirimo last Thursday sentenced Obert Marongedza of Zvimba to 24 months in prison of which nine months where wholly suspended on condition of good behaviour.
Prosecutor Patson Chirambwi told the court that on March 17 this year at around midday the 48-year-old called a 12-year-old boy who is his neighbour into his hut in Mudzinge Village under Chief Zvimba.
When the accused entered the hut he tightly held the complainant removing his pair of shorts to knee level.
The court further heard that the accused unzipped his trousers while standing and started to rub the complainant's penis with his penis several times until he ejaculated.
When he finished he then ordered the complainant to go back home.
The court further heard that complainant started to feel some pains and disclosed the matter to his uncle Zenyika Matirira who escorted him to Zvimba police station where the matter was reported leading to the arrest of the accused.

Hi OP here! No this was not my first experience with bleaching my upper lip. I have done it many times before but with a different product. I had my friend do it also with me and hers did not end up like mine. Every time I had done it before it had stung so I figured that it was just doing its job but I guess my skin was just very sensitive to the brand I had. Good news is that everything is good now and I will just go back to using the kind I had before. Also the only reason I decided on not shaving or anything else was because I do not want the hair growing in darker or thicker:)

Seriously, why does anyone try bleaching lip hair any more? Everyone knows the hair is still noticeable.

actually that's the worst thing you can do for facial hair. It's different from body hair. Pulling it out stimulates the dermal papillae to produce thicker, stronger hair. Waxing is worst of all because you pull out the vellus hair (the fine fuzz) and stimulate those follicles to start producing thick hair.
zevapup123 | 14
Actually that happens to all hair on your body. Even your legs, shaving causes the same thing

Actually, following the string of corrections, neither of those are true! Shaving/plucking hair does not stimulate hair growth at all! Plucking hair actually eventually damages the follicle enough to make hair stop growing (but you have to do it consistently for years). The only damage shaving does is micro abrasions on the skin. Also major abrasions.
Either way, neither option actually stimulates hair growth or else we would all be hairy mammoths.

Yes pulling the hair our via waxing and plucking make the process worse but everyone notices a bleached mustache. Just shave it daily. You'll be okay.

Tingle yes, sting/burn/pain no. On your face letting something sting/burn/hurt is a big risk. Faces are sensitive and if something stings, take it off.

25, bleach stings on the scalp. It's fairly normal and doesn't eat through your skin. OP probably thought it was just that feeling.

Say What I am Called: A Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Self-Referential Inscriptions
Mock, Sean
MetadataShow full item record
Mock, Sean
This thesis compiles a working corpus of Anglo-Saxon self-referential inscribed artifacts to examine how the inscriptions and supports utilize self-reference to push the viewer to understand the social and cultural significance of such objects. The inscriptions fall into two broad categories: personal inscriptions reinforce the prestige of the makers, owners, and commissioners associated with them, while impersonal inscriptions authorize philosophical and social discourse through the adoption of literary and oral types (i.e. genres). In addition to an analysis of specific artifacts—ranging from diminutive rings to monumental stone crosses—I provide a quantitative analysis that illustrates the different uses of languages, scripts, and object types. As opposed to literary texts, self-referential inscribed objects create internally complete hermeneutic units that connect the text's discursive meaning with the function and significance of the thing itself. The inscriptions and their supports structure knowledge about Anglo-Saxon social relationships, liturgical practices, and cultural wisdom.

Every summer my husband and I are privileged to attend a leadership summit at our church. The first couple of times I went, I felt like I was in the presence of great leaders but I didn't feel like a leader myself. Sure, I help my husband coordinate a ministry, but he's the leader... not me! About two years ago I was sitting there at the summit, having those thoughts, and it was as if the Lord broke in on my thoughts and said to me, "You are a leader. You lead not only in a small group in your church, but more importantly you lead the little souls living in your home everyday." Since that day, I have seen myself more as a leader and have even begun to apply some of the leadership principles I've learned to our homeschool.
Today I came across this article at the HSLDA website. I had never really considered that I was running a "leadership academy" at my home, but in many ways I am! And chances are, you are too!
In your homeschool, do you...
... foster "independent thinking," encouraging them not to follow the crowd doing something simply because it is popular?
...do your part to help them cultivate a strong faith in God, and to act according to their beliefs?
...nurture your child's creative thinking by giving him situations where he must "think outside the box?"
...teach your child not to be ashamed to go against popular thought and to act in accordance with a strong code of ethics?
If so, you are raising future leaders! Whatever your name for your homeschool (if you have one), you could put the words "Leadership Academy" in the name, and it would be an accurate description.
I believe God is raising up a generation of godly men and women who will lead His people into a key period on heaven's timeline, and some of the leaders He will utilize are in enrolled in our "leadership academies" at this very moment. Isn't that an exciting thought?
hey tired mom of teens, this is for you.

Luminosity function of GRBs
Harish-chandra Research Institute, Jhusi Road, Allahabad 211 019, India e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
2 Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Sarjapur Road, Bangalore 560 034, India e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Corresponding author: S. Sethi, firstname.lastname@example.com
Accepted: 29 June 2001
We attempt to constrain the luminosity function of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) from the observed number count-flux relation and the afterglow redshift data. We assume three classes of luminosity functions for our analysis: (a) Log-normal distribution, (b) Schechter distribution, and (c) Scale-free distribution. We assume several models of the evolution of the GRB population for each luminosity function. Our analysis shows that: (a) log-normal is the only luminosity function that is compatible with both the observations. This result is independent of the GRB evolution model, (b) for log-normal function, the average photon luminosity L0 and the width of the luminosity function σ that are compatible with both the observations fall in the range: and , (c) the agreement of observations with other luminosity functions requires the GRB population to evolve more strongly than the evolution of the star-formation rate of the universe.
Key words: gamma rays: bursts / cosmology: observations

The CDC has estimated that the incidence of fungal infections has increased by 500-fold since 1980. Candida albicans, a common opportunistic fungal pathogen, is the leading cause of invasive fungal disease in immunocompromised individuals;is the major cause of in-hospital infections;and accounts for 20% of all infective endocarditis, which has a mortality rate as high as 70%. The induction of cell-mediated immunity to C. albicans is critical in host defense and the prime task of cells of the innate immune system. Previously, it has been demonstrated that the integrin 1M22 (CD11b/CD18) is the major neutrophil (PMN) receptor involved in C. albicans recognition. The applicant has shown that an activity is released from C. albicans that inhibits PMN adhesion and migration to the fungus. Utilizing two independent affinity approaches, the same single protein responsible for these activities was purified and identified unequivocally as pH-regulated Antigen 1 (Pra1p), also known as Fibrinogen Binding Protein 1, Fbp1, by mass spectrometry and amino acid sequence. Purified Pra1p blocked PMN adhesion to the fungus and prevented PMN-mediated killing of Pra1p-expressing, but not of Pra1p-deficient strains of C. albicans. We hypothesize that the 1M22-Pra1p- fibrinogen interactions are pivotal in C. albicans pathogenesis: fungal-bound Pra1p is a main target of PMN on C. albicans;the soluble form of Pra1p serves as decoy to assist the fungus in escaping host surveillance;and fibrinogen, which interacts not only with Pra1p but also with 1M22, modulates the interactions. To test this hypothesis, the biological significance of these interactions will be assessed in PMN killing assays and in vivo murine models of systemic candidiasis utilizing C. albicans strains, which lack Pra1p and transgenic mice which lack 1M22, and a closely related integrin 1X22 (Aim 1). The effects of soluble Pra1p on these responses will be assays in vitro and in vivo (Aim 2). The role of fibrinogen as a modulator will be investigated biochemically and using mice in which the fibrinogen binding site for 1M22 has been disrupted (Aim 3). The mechanism underlying these interactions will be defined by identifying sites in 1M22 and in C. albicans which mediate their engagement (Aim 4). These studies will provide insights into the basic mechanism underlying C. albicans interactions with the host and may elucidate new strategies to control fungal infections.
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes have been shown to be the primary components of the host's innate immune defenses against C. albicans infections, and the most prominent receptor that they utilize in microbial recognition is integrin 1M22. The applicant has identified Pra1p as the major ligand of 1M22 among fungal proteins. The proposed study will investigate the molecular mechanism of 1M22 - Pra1p interactions in models ex vivo and in vivo in transgenic mice. Data from this study are expected to highlight mechanisms which are involved in fungal-host interactions and to help design new antifungal peptides.

What is hop·nólogy?
Beer is good food. Except when it isn't. We are living in a wonderful and yet concerning time to be a beer fan; there is some great stuff out there, and also a fair number of scary witches-brew concoctions that shouldn't be allowed out of the basement.
Growing hops, like most things involving Mother Nature, is a mix of science and art. We are Scientists who understand the interactions between soil, nutrients, temperature, water, time and hops. Mixed together well and treated with scientific parameters - and some good old fashioned gut feel! - you can have an outstanding product. That's Part 1.
Part 2 is what happens when those quality hops go into your beer. Once again it's Science, mixed with equal parts time, patience, hops, other non-hops stuff, more time, and more patience.
At hop·nólogy we take pride in teaching you one simple equation:
Science + Art = Quality Hops and Wonderful Beer

In Memory of Thomas G. Crotty
As part of the 2996 project, I have the priviledge and honor to write about and pay tribute to Thomas G. Crotty.
To be quite honest, I wasn't sure just what to write. There have been several memorials not only to Thomas, but to all of the 2996 that died that day. The more I read, the more I realized that even though this was a shock to the nation, I want to emphasize that Thomas is more than a statistic, more than just one of the number of people who died that day.
Thomas was a husband to Joanne and a father to his two little girls Catherine and Caroline. He was a family man who loved to be with his family. He was an athletic man who was to compete in a marathon with his brother a week after 9/11. He was a caring man towards all of his family as his brother James told Newsday reporter Lawrence Striegel how he was living in Michigan in 1996 when his wife, Fran, became very ill. Tom helped get Fran admitted to a special private room at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in Manhattan during six months of treatment for Wegener's granulomatosis, an autoimmune disease, and then visited her often while James was back in the Midwest. "He said, 'Put her in there and we'll worry about the money later,"' James said.
Thomas started off his business career at Merrill Lynch as a trainee. He had spent his last seven years at Sandler O'Neill Partners, where he was a managing director for equities. His work ethic was reflected in a comment that one of Thomas' clients mad to Thomas' mother "Even though I wasn't a large investor, he always made me feel so important. ... He never brushed me off." He was at work on the 104th floor of 2 World Trade Center during the Sept. 11 attacks.
To Joanne, Catherine and Caroline, please know that the man to whom you gave all your love to as wife and daughters didn't die in vain. He is NOT some statistic that will be placed in some history book. He is a man who loved life and the three of you and is an inspiration to all of us. You see, I have two daughters as well; my oldest is seven and my youngest turns 4 in two weeks. And after reading about this wonderful man I want to make sure that I show as much love to my family as he did to you for life is very precious and too short.
My heart goes out to the three of you this day, to all of Thomas' family, and to all of the family of the remaining 2995 persons who perished this day. May we all NEVER FORGET!

9/11 and the 2996 Project
Five more days from now is the five year anniversary of 9/11. I will be participating in the 2996 Project to Honor the 2996 victims of 9/11. If you haven't heard of it then go Here.
I have the honor and priviledge to pay tribute to Thomas G. Crotty in this project.
All of the 2996 names have been assigned and the site owner still needs some help in verifying all of the links, so if anyone is able to help out, then by all means click on the link above and help out.
Finally Back Online!!!
After more than 3 months I am back online with my original political blog! I thought I would try to earn a little change and use the google ad-sense click program to this blog but when I did...WHAM!
My blog literally was destroyed before my eyes.
Because I work and have a family, I am now able to recover most of what I wrote and bring it back here.
So I am back online...Thank God.

Why LED Lighting?
LED is changing the paradigm — combining the best available components with innovative designs to create systems that are optimized for superior performance.
LED is important for new construction, but a substantially larger market is renovation. Billions of lights already exist and easily convert to LED, reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions, maintenance costs, and other direct and indirect costs associated with consumption and generation of electricity. The LED market has given birth to environmental certifications, sustainability managers, green initiatives, new products, new companies focused on energy reduction and conservation, compliance rebates, and much more. Lighting is generally in the top two to three consumers of electricity.
Why John Iacono Inc.?
We live in a world characterized by incredible innovation — LED lighting technology is changing the game
Lighting companies continue to use the same old approach that puts the interests and margins of the supplier ahead of their customers. We partner with our clients, using an agile model that solves that problem in four key ways: direct to consumer, superior distribution, specialized services, and leading expertise in renovation.

Sacrificing land for research trials is a sound investmentBy Rick Bayne
FOR THE past 30 years the Croft family at Mepunga has been giving up part of its farm for research. From early trials on turnips to today's research into new cultivars and nitrogen efficiency, the farm has been a constant source of new information.
For current owner Daniel Croft and his father Graeme before him, sacrificing a bit of land is a good investment for the industry and for their business.
"I don't mind running well-run trials," Daniel Croft said.
"I get the data back on our land which is good for us."
The farm recently hosted a field day for Notman Pasture Seeds and Cropmark's trials on how 70 different current and future season perennial, Italian and annual rye-grass cultivars are performing. Next February there will be a field day showing Dairy Australia and University of Melbourne nitrogen efficiency trials on both irrigation and dryland.
"There's quite a benefit with the nitrogen trials showing when we have to put it on and when we don't," Mr Croft said.
"I think we get more benefi t than the land we give up because if we get it right we grow a lot more feed over the whole area."
Mr Croft and his partner Stacey Byron took over the farm in July from his parents Graeme and Sally Croft. Their milking platform is 207ha with 100ha under irrigation. They are milking 700 cows at the moment, although that can grow to 780.
"We have split calving and bring in 160 heifers a year so we can raise numbers and drop them off fairly quickly," Mr Croft said.
Their average stocking rate of 3.5 cows/ha is fairly high but comfortable with Jerseys.
"We've got 430kg Jerseys producing 500kg/MS so the conversion rate is pretty good," Mr Croft said.
They work to a milk solids per hectare formula. They currently produce 350000 solids over the 207ha.
"You need to work off liveweight and conversion," Mr Croft said.
"You feed them and you want the best converters. It would be a lot easier milking and calving 500 Friesians compared to 700 but we like the conversion."
He is happy with production but is constantly looking at cost savings.
"The factories aren't going to pay us more; we're a price taker not a price setter so we have to look at the costs."
Two years ago they added a 117ha outblock, including 22ha under irrigation and there's an additional 10ha pivot on the way. Last year on the 22ha they pulled 300 tonne of turnip crop to feed dry cows.
This year they're putting in 18ha of maize.
"Turnips you can't bring back; we can grow the maize and bring it back home for under $200 a tonne. That's a cost saver," Mr Croft said.
The outblock is helping to maintain the stocking rate, especially with 3600 rolls of silage this year.
"That covers the whole year. Normally we don't do that much but I've got the potential to use the feedpad and I can keep numbers at 780 if I can do it efficiently enough."
Last year with the outblock in use for the first time they produced 2600 rolls, surpassing the previous average of 700.
"Now we've had it two years and the grasses are pretty right, it's going to mean we won't have to buy in any feed," Mr Croft said.
"We're only buying 100 tonne of oaten hay and about 1400 tonne of grain—about two tonne for each cow."
The feedpad was added last year to get good use of the silage and to protect the farm during winter.
"The feedpad gives you options; we lead feed on it with our dry cows too."
They calve 350 in August and February. Because the farm is on a fresh milk contract with Fonterra, they never get below 500 cows.
"The fresh contract appeals to our milk flow. We've always got carryover cows and enough cows to meet our quota," Mr Croft said.
"We've got to make sure we don't go below the line they draw for premiums. In February it gets a bit tight and when you're about to calve in August it's the same. You dry-off the cows a week later if it gets tight."
The farm has light, sandy soil and water drains quickly. Persistence isn't an issue under irrigation and Mr Croft is happy to confirm he's never been bogged on the farm.
The dairy is a 50-unit one-person rotary, upgraded about eight years ago. Mr Croft or one of his three employees can milk 300 Jerseys in an hour, with another on-hand to get the cows in and feed them. He has done the figures on converting to once-a-day milking.
"They say you lose a third of your production but you cut your costs down a fair bit. With the power issues that might be an option; irrigation cost is also going to be an issue."
He finds the Jerseys easy to handle, as well as being good feed converters.
"Graeme says Jerseys are like a four-cylinder car; Friesians are like a V8. You've got to feed the V8 to keep it going and it's high maintenance, whereas the Jersey will just tinker along and do a little bit."

This is all the project I have. Walk, make pictures, edit, repeat. I do this wherever I happen to be. In Beacon, on Block Island, in Naples Florida visiting my parents. Walk, make pictures, edit, repeat.
Two years ago I was working on a suite of books. There would be one for each season of the year, the photographs in each would be a selection from that season and they would be presented chronologically. I wanted to reflect the process I used to produce the images, which was daily walks with no particular project to pursue other than what attracted me along the way. I have been doing this for a number of years now. It has become a daily ritual and I twitch if I miss more than a day or two.
This is all the project I have. Walk, make pictures, edit, repeat. I do this wherever I happen to be. In Beacon, on Block Island, in Naples Florida visiting my parents. Walk, make pictures, edit, repeat.
Themes do emerge. Side projects appear, born out of the daily practice. The rock and cans presented in my book meditations is an example of these sorts of side projects.
But they are not the main show.
About a year and a half ago, I attended a masterclass on making a photographic book. My chronological concept was rejected by the leaders of the class (and many of my fellow students too). Instead they wanted me to arrange my pictures in whatever order gave them a good story arc. The leaders of the workshop did understand my images and we did produce a book that was interesting, but I was brought to a complete standstill. The book we made was self contained. It had a beginning, middle and end. It got something across about my work that was important, but it also seemed to close the door to any further exploration via the daily ritual of walk, make pictures, edit, repeat.
At a loss as to what exactly to do, I kept walking, making pictures, editing them, repeating. I wasn't ready to be done with that and no project excited me more than that. My conviction was that something will be revealed by the accumulation of images that couldn't in a project with beginning, middle and end.
It is asking a lot of any audience to keep tracking you over time, so I understand the appeal of the beginning-middle-end approach. You can get a product out there, people can grasp it quickly and if they like it they will buy a few. My DWMY project is a commitment of the kind few people will be interested in making even if my image making is compelling and gets recognized as being so.
Still, since that workshop, I kept circling back to the DWMY project. I kept making the images and kept wanting to assemble them in a book in chronological format. And so I am going to. I am going to see if it is interesting. I am going to get it out of my system by proving to myself it either is or isn't a valid idea.
So I have decide to produce a blurb magazine, one for each month this year. The images I have selected for the first one are in the gallery below. The blurb magazines will be available for purchase. I will let you all know when this one is available. At the end of twelve months I will reassess. Maybe I will have gotten it out of my system. Maybe not. Time will tell.

Historic Beach Patrol Programs in the Sleeping Bear Dunes
The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore sent this over:
Fall was traditionally "shipwreck season" on the Great Lakes, and before radio communications were used at sea, ships could not call for help. Spotting a vessel in distress from the shore was the only way rescue crews knew that their assistance was needed. Therefore, 100 years ago beach patrol was an essential duty of a U.S. Life-Saving Service (LSS) surfman, who set out each night to hike the shoreline in search of ships in distress.
You have a chance to experience a little of what that was like on Saturday, October 8 and/or October 15 as you join Park Rangers to recreate a traditional evening beach patrol. Dress for the weather and meet at the Sleeping Bear Point Life-Saving Service Station/Maritime Museum in Glen Haven at 7:30 p.m.
You'll hear an in-depth explanation of the patrol process and some local shipwreck stories inside the station, then join National Park Service Ranger for a lantern-lit hike along the beach. There are always a few surprises along the way and everyone should carry a flashlight for safety. Wind and rain will only make the patrol more authentic, so be ready for any weather!
Unlike the original surfmen, hikers may turn back at any time during the one-hour, one mile roundtrip beach walk and return to the Maritime Museum where they will be welcomed by a volunteer and find shelter.
The entire program lasts about two hours. For more information, you can call the National Lakeshore at 231-326-5134, visit their website at www.nps.gov/slbe and join them on Facebook.

When we say that they are enough girls in technology; it is true. It is a fact that a small number of girls working in IT are involved in programming or direct application development.
A sign of the lack of girls in IT: I just wrote my name to attend iPhoneDevCamp. I am the only girl in a list of 36 participants so far.I am going there because I have ideas for iPhone applications that I will like to launch.
The iPhoneDevCamp will be at Station C in Montreal, January 23rd 2009 from 4 pm to about 10 pm. It is free as far as I know. Click here if you wish to attend.

Business networking is the tried and tested process of establishing mutually beneficial relationships with other business people and potential customers. It works on the simple concept of Know- Like -Trust. Kalimex offer some tips when it comes to business networking.
The more people that know what you do and like you, the more they'll use you, trust you and, recommend you. And with so many networking organisations in the UK today including 4N and BNI there'll be one close to you. If you've not yet tried networking you're missing out on cultivating a rich seam of new business.
That said, many people have fears around networking, the most common ones being:
- I might run out of things to say
- What if I'm left standing on my own looking like Billy no mates?
- I might blank in my 60 second presentation.
These fears evaporate the more you network. And it pays to remember the main benefit of networking. Effective networkers say that 90% of their new business is achieved through networking and word of mouth referals. Networking is an incredibly cost effective way to build your business. And it's enjoyable. Over breakfast or lunch you get to talk about your business in an informal but focused setting. It's enjoyable and productive.
Here are a few tips on making business networking work for your business.
Visit as many networking events as possible, then whittle down to the ones you feel will help you grow your business. Don't join the first group you go to. And don't join immediately on a visitor's day – find out how many signed up members the group has. Can you see yourself getting business from these members and, can you see yourself recommending them to your contacts? Networking is a two way thing.
How to take the plunge
- Prepare mentally – why are you going to this event? What will you talk about?
- Practice what you're going to say beforehand. Can you bring props to show what you do and generate interest? How can you make your 60 second presentations memorable and interesting?
- Be positive! Enthusiasm is like a virus. You don't have to be a polished pro when presenting if you're genuinely enthusiastic.
- Look professional. First impressions count.
- Make sure you're armed with business cards and marketing literature.
When you get there
- Adopt an open body posture and make eye contact early.
- Wait for an opportunity to speak and follow the flow – don't dive in with a self introduction.
- Apply yourself wholeheartedly to the conversation. Look for ways to connect not to sell to people.
- Wait to be invited to shake hands and introduce yourself.
- Show an active, genuine interest in other people.
5 handy conversation starters
- 'Hi I'm Tom from TJ Mechanics in Sheffield what do you do?'
- 'How long have you been attending this networking group?'
- 'What's your line of business?'
- 'How are you finding current business conditions?'
- 'Do you visit any other networking organisations?'
Finally, be patient. It takes a little time for people to get to know you and feel comfortable in recommending you. Commit to the process and you'll reap the rewards.
