I'm trying to get into a rhythm of writing again, or at least blogging again. How long this will last is anyone's guess. I'm setting the over/under at December 17th. But I figure back in the days of MySpace I used to write down my random thoughts just as an excuse to write, so when I don't have anything else worthwhile or well thought out to get off my chest, I'll fall back on that.
Today is one of those days I have nothing worthwhile or well thought out to get off my chest.
Tomorrow sometime I have a piece dropping on the Misfit Politics about how Malcolm X has some great advice for the Republican Party, mainly the quote they used at the beginning of "Cult of Personality." Yes, THAT Malcolm X.
Lately I've been enjoying reading what my political friends have written that have absolutely nothing to do with politics (especially with the exception of Matt Walsh most political writing on the right has gotten boring and predictable). There was one line from a friends post recently that stuck with me for some odd reason: "Figuring out how someone wants to be cared for and how they communicate is a challenge."
I've learned something about myself this weekend…I'm a terrible person to take with you to pick out stuff for a new bathroom. My response whenever my opinion is call on is either "sure" or "ok."
I've developed a theory about the mystery Doctor in "Doctor Who: Day of the Doctor." 11 says in the trailer that, out of his many faces and many lives, there is one that he's tried to forget. I think the mystery one is the Doctor from the Time War who killed everyone, including his own people.
Living in a city of sleepless people who all know the limits and won't go too far outside the lines, cause they're' out of their minds. I wanna get out and build my own home on a street where reality is not much different from dreams I've had. A dream is all I have…
And speaking of Doctor Who…

I've been watching a Terraria speedrun for a while now and have to say that I feel urged to play it. Not that I need to buy it - I've bought my game a while ago but didn't find it as entertaining. However, one of my fellow students is playing it right now and promised to give some sort of proper introduction and explanation about the mechanics goin on there and so on. Al in all, I can't say that I'm more intrigued by Terraria than by Minecraft. Minecraft has mechanics and simulation where Teraria only seems to have fighting and building. The only thing I really love is the use of lightning and the fluid dynamics. Fluids are ridiculous in Minecraft, awesome in Terraria. It simply applies a few rules to each water tile and what you get is wonderfully beautiful to look at and play with. I guess I'll have more fun killing monsters and surviving in Terraria than in ;inecraft. Due to it's 2D graphics, fights are less of a surprise compared to Minecraft - one can see all over the place. I'd like to appreciate the playing of it. Those liquids are too cool for not doing so.

Audi A3 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI Sport
Brits love their convertibles. And
ll be lusting after Audi
s latest
A3 Cabriolet not just because of
its chic looks and its genuine four-
seater capacity, but also because
of the way it drives. When it comes
to Show and Go, this Cabriolet has
got the lot...
THE VERY FIRST THING THAT YOU NOTICE as you approach Audi
s neat-looking A3 Cabriolet is that it
s fitted with a proper fabric soft-top
not one of the folding metal hard-tops that are currently in vogue.
Audi does nothing without good reason. And the very good reason for the A3 Cabriolet's soft-top is that a folding fabric roof is easier to package, lighter and less complicated than a folding metal roof (and therefore quicker to raise and lower) and it frees up more space for a bigger boot along with maximising room for rear passengers.
With the A3's large fabric roof stowed neatly away in its own dedicated storage well between the boot proper and the rear seat backrests, the rigid front part of the roof forms a cover over it behind the two roll-over hoops. All of which benefits the A3 Cabrio's clean, classy and uncluttered look. Better still, the 260 litres of boot space remain the same whether you're sampling the sun or motoring with the roof up.
The very next thing you notice is that, while it may well be an 'entry level' convertible in the Audi range (the alternatives are the TT Roadster and the A4 Cabriolet), the four-seater A3 Cabrio is definitely one very smart looking car but you do need to see it in the flesh to really appreciate it.
Inside it's much the same stylish story as outside, with a fascia enhanced by high quality soft touch plastics, classy looking and crystal-clear instruments and well-engineered and faultlessly laid out switchgear. All unmistakably and typically Audi. Four rotary air vents with milled chrome outer rings, similar in style to those found on the Audi TT, ensure a goodly supply of hot or ice-cold air, top up or top down. If SatNav is fitted (a not unreasonable Ł600 option) the screen is sited just below the centre pair of air vents in the centre stack.
The handbrake is of the swan-neck type and, commendably, there's ample room around it to avoid pinched fingers. There's also lots of storage bins and cubbies dotted around the cabin and you'll be doing well if you can fill half of them. For the record, the soft-top is neatly lined with a smart charcoal-coloured fabric lining that finishes off the cabin nicely.
Wide door and easy tilt 'n' side seats ensure easy entry and exit to both the front and rear seats. The front seats have generous adjustment (including height on both the driver and front passenger seats) and there's impressive leg, shoulder, elbow and head room. Our test car came with the optional and excellent 6-stage seat heating worth every penny for the additional comfort it provides.
The cabin open or closed has a great ambience, whether you're a passenger or the driver who, thanks to the multi-adjustable seat and extensive reach and rake adjustment on the great-to-hold leather-wrapped, three-spoke steering wheel, is guaranteed a first-rate driving position. The multi-function steering wheel-mounted controls are for the on-board computer, SatNav, voice command and audio functions.
Paddle-shifts for manual gear changing are perfectly sited on the rear of the wheel's horizontal spokes: left for downshifts; right for up. Two nice touches deserving of a mention are the buttons inset in the sides of the front headrests that make adjustment completely hassle-free, and the extra shoulder bolstering on the front seats that provides excellent support exactly where you want it. Another much appreciated feature is the powerful lighting that takes much of the strain out of night driving.
A good many so-called four-seat convertibles are not practical and sometimes the rear seat accommodation is not even viable for two small children. As for the A3 Cabriolet when Audi say it's a genuine four-seater, they're as good as their word. Sit in the rear and you'll be surprised to find that you and another 5' 11" adult can sit behind two 5' 11" adults not only very comfortably, but with your heads well short of the roof. Another unlooked-for surprise is that the A3 Cabriolet's rear seat backs can be folded down (although not quite flat), extending the luggage space from 260 to a very functional 674 litres.
Buying into the A3 Cabriolet 'club' will cost upwards of Ł20,750. For that you can drive away a 1.9 TDI model. There are two diesel and two petrol engine options, offering power outputs of between 103 and 197bhp. We tested the 197bhp 2.0 TFSI Sport fitted with Audi's superb 6-speed S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox.
In this spec the A3 Cabriolet definitely has the bite to match its bark. With 197bhp transmitted to the road via the front wheels, there's more than enough poke should you ever feel so inclined to faze the average hot hatch: 0-62mph in 7.3 seconds and a top speed at 144mph. More pleasing news is that our test average, calculated over a week's satisfyingly hard driving on mixed roads, worked out to 30.1mpg. Officially, less hard-charging drivers could achieve a combined 37.2mpg with 27.4mpg in the city and as much as 46.3mpg on the extra-urban cycle. Not only that but you won't need to interrupt your journey too often as the 55-litre (12.1 gallons to most of us) fuel tank should be good for at least 400 miles between top-ups.
The A3 Cabriolet is one of those cars that feels totally at ease with whatever driving style you throw at it. Want to play the boulevardier? The A3 nonchalantly obliges. Feel like blowing the cobwebs out? Again, the A3 eagerly indulges you. And with 197bhp and, more importantly, 206lb ft of torque on call between 1,800 and 5,000rpm, it's more than capable of meeting your right foot's demands.
The four-cylinder 2.0-litre is a satisfying and muscular powerplant that's keen to perform all the way through the speed range. For the record, the 'T' in the TFSI tells you there's a turbocharger under the bonnet not that you'd guess from the driver's seat as, even from low revs, there's no sense of anything other than a smooth surge of horsepower in response to pressing down hard on the accelerator.
Driven as it should be with the top down and, therefore, unlimited head room wind roar and buffeting are minimal, thanks to a flip-up mesh deflector that fits over the rear seats (a quick and easy one-person operation), and even at fast cruising speeds you can talk to your passengers without shouting. Roof up, sound insulation is impressive and wouldn't, we're sure, be noticeably better with a heavy metal roof. The fully automatic, triple-layer roof comes with extra acoustic and thermal insulation and is well-engineered, quiet and fast to open or close, opening in just 9 seconds and closing again in only 11 seconds at up to 19mph.
Capping it all is the Cabriolet's high level of rigidity, which endows it with a palpable sense of robustness. New owners will be impressed by how precise it feels and how easy it is to hustle down a challenging stretch of road. The brakes, too, are equally reassuring, scrubbing off speed efficiently and in a fuss-free manner. Sport trim A3 Cabriolets have a ride height lowered by 15mm but riding on the shorter, stiffer springs was no hardship.
In fact, the ride quality is yet another plus point: a well-judged mix of comfort and sportiness. Handling is predictable, it holds the road well and body control is good even on poorer roads marred by bumps and ripples. Prospective customers can tick the Sport-spec box without fear. Precise, well-weighted steering and refined, near-instantaneous gear changes from the brilliant S-tronic automatic transmission are the icing on this wedge of automotive cake you can, for instance, drop down from 6th to 3rd as quick as you can flick.
Sport spec Cabriolets come with 17-inch alloy wheels, fully-automatic hood operation, wind deflector, dual-zone electronic climate control, powered front (auto one-shot up/down) and rear windows with comfort (all four together) open/close function, electrically-operated and heated door mirrors including heated washer jets, sports suspension, MP3-compatible CD/radio with uprated speakers, Servotronic speed-dependent power steering, three-spoke leather-covered multi-function sports steering wheel, sports front seats and a driver's information system.
Of course, you also get the usual comprehensive array of safety kit you'd expect from Audi, including Hill-Start Assist if you press and hold the footbrake for several seconds on a gradient, this will prevent the vehicle from rolling back and when you then take your foot off the brake pedal, the car will be held for a moment longer, allowing you to drive off cleanly. It goes without saying that all of the optional extras available are desirable, but the one we'd most readily recommend is the reversing sensor.
Clearly Audi has yet another winner on its hands with this fashionable, genuine four-seater cabrio. Not only is the convertible A3 good to look at, it's also very enjoyable to drive. Top up, top down and even especially agreeable with the roof in place and all four windows fully open as a pillarless coupé. In addition, the A3 Cabriolet conspicuously maintains Audi's well-earned reputation for comfort and is delightfully easy to live with. So what's new?
Audi A3 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI Sport
Maximum speed: 144mph | 0-62mph: 7.3 seconds | Overall test MPG: 30.1mpg

Since I've been finished with training I have been working a crazy amount of hours. Like 11 hour shifts and 6 days a week! One of the leaders told me it is because we are in between College Program groups and people are leaving before new people are coming in. So hopefully once we get some more CP's I won't have to work 53 hour work weeks!
I work almost every night until 12am or 2am on Tuesdays for Extra Magic Hours. Now I know what you are thinking "But doesn't Epcot close at 9?" and yes you would be correct. This is how a typical night goes. At 9pm the fireworks start and they finish by 9:20. As everyone rushes out of the park they stroll right past our store and think "Oh hey, I wanted to buy an Epcot shirt!" or "Aww crap I forgot to buy something for so and so" Which is why we stay open. Guests shop in the store until around 10:30-10:45pm, and we begin to close the registers at that time, so by the time 10:30 rolls around there is only one person on register. Everyone else has a closing assignment.
Closing Assignments vary and of course some are better than others. Jewelry, no thanks, all those earring and necklaces and charms to organize. Souvenirs is another one you don't want to get stuck with because its all key chains, magnets, postcards, basically small things that people don't put back where they belong. Any of the softlines (clothing) isn't too bad. Toys is ok too. Consumables can be a pain in the butt because you have to clean up a lot of stuff. Home Dec is my favorite because the stock room is right through a door in the area, the other stock is backstage or downstairs and sometimes you have to go to multiple places to find what you need. Home Dec is pretty easy, you just refill the displays and organize things.
Closing assignments take until ten of 12 or 2 and then we have a meeting where we talk about our sales for the day, share guest stories and have other announcements. Then it is time to clock out!!
I'm pretty much always on register, which I don't mind, It really makes the shifts go by faster, but I could also be scheduled as floorstock sometime.
Our location is getting new costumes starting June 12th. So tomorrow I have to go to Costuming to get fitted for my new one. I'm sort of annoyed because everyone got to go while they are at work, but since costuming closes at 6pm I have to go before my shift starts.

London: Struggling to shed those extra kilos even after following a strict diet regime? Then, blame it on your mother, scientists say.
A team at the Newcastle University in the UK found that some people are programmed to be fat while still in the womb, with a mother-to-be`s lifestyle affecting the health of her baby for years to come.
They found changes around their DNA at birth which may result from their mother`s diet or exposure to pollution or stress. They then linked these changes to a higher Body Mass Index (BMI) in children aged about nine years of age.
The researchers, however, said more work is needed to definitively prove the link between these changes and obesity.
Dr Caroline Relton, who led the research, said: "Other studies have just taken genes at birth and looked at differences irrespective of whether they are differently expressed with different levels of obesity."
"The difference between this study and others is that we had a reason to focus on the genes we looked at because we knew they were differently expressed in children with a higher BMI," he told the BBC.
Childhood or adult obesity has many causes and scientists have previously linked specific genes, such as the FTO gene, with increased body weight. Others have looked at molecular changes, called epigenetics, which can play a role in how a gene functions in the body, switching genes on and off.
For their research, published in the journal Plos One, Dr Relton and his team took blood samples from 24 children aged 11 to 13 and looked for differences in the way genes are "expressed" or encoded into the many proteins which we need to grow and function.
They identified epigenetic changes in 29 genes which could be associated with higher body mass among the children.
They then looked at data from a larger study of 178 individuals, for whom there were both cord blood samples from birth, and body composition data from aged about nine.
Among these individuals, epigenetic changes to nine of the 29 genes previously identified appeared to correspond to increased body weight, although only one of these associated changes withstood rigorous further analysis, the team said.
However, Dr Relton said more research is needed to prove the epigenetic differences observed at birth and originating in the womb, are actually contributing to obesity.
"While we have discovered an association between these genes and body size in childhood we need to carry out further studies to establish whether influencing the expression of these genes by altering epigenetic patterns is indeed a trigger to obesity."
Commenting on the paper, Prof Gudrun Moore of University College London said: "The paper is an interesting study on epigentic variations and their potential association with body size indices."
Prof Tim Spector of King`s College London, said the paper represented "an exciting piece of research exploring new ways of looking at the causes of obesity".

DUNBAR TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL, Volume 3 - "The Final Years" 1954 – 1966
Author: Bob Cole
Volume 3 of a 4-volume history of Dunbar Township High School written by a DTHS graduate, this book is part of a series that covers the story of DTHS from the roots of its origins to its closing in 1966 and an index of the over 5490 graduates. Those graduates and the nearly equal number of attendees that did not receive a diploma are included in the story of the school.
The third volume of this set covers "The Final Years" of Dunbar Township High School. Despite reduced enrollment the High School maintained and some would say even expanded its reputation. These years were filled with accomplishments both for the school and its students.
Other volumes look at the life of DTHS from the same viewpoint. They trace not only the life of the school but also the evolution of education during the first half of the twentieth century. That evolution saw education transformed from a privilege earned by the student and controlled on the local level to an entitlement program governed at the state level.
The story is based upon information provided in newspapers and other publications of the time. The result is how the outside world viewed the High School and what it accomplished in "The Final Years."
A five year labor of love, what began as a memorial to the success of a bygone institution produced unexpected but significant information. Within the story of the high school is a record of how education evolved over the first half of the 20th century. That record also shows how the township and local area passed through good and bad times. As part of the story one can see how the economy of Dunbar Township and Fayette County changed over those same years. Included are advertisements from local newspapers that describe life at the time.
All these subjects provide lessons of history that may well offer wisdom for the future.
Volumes can be purchased individually or as a 4-volume set (Best Buy – SEARCH CP-636).

I recently ran into a customer having decryption problems on Windows 8.1.
The data was encrypted using a symmetric key created on Windows 7 and exported as an OPAQUEKEYBLOB.
When importing the key on Windows 8.1 and then attempting to decrypt, CryptDecrypt failed with NTE_BAD_DATA.
It turns out that there was a fair amount of code change to CryptoAPI on Windows 8.1 and the OPAQUEKEYBLOB is slightly different from Windows 7.
The key blob is compatible moving in the following directions:
Win 7 -> Win 7
Win 8.1 -> Win 8.1
Win 8.1 -> Win 7
However, when going from Win 7 -> Win 8.1, there's a different interpretation of the key blob.
There's an easy fix to this problem. There is an offset (0x14) that indicates the size of what is defined as a "packed key".
If this size is set 0, the Win 8.1 code will execute a different code path and successfully imports the key blob.
// lpBlob contains the OPAQUEKEYBLOB
*(DWORD *)(lpBlob + 0x14) = 0; // Set the packed key length to zero
bResult = CryptImportKey(hProv, lpBlob, dwBlobLength, 0, CRYPT_EXPORTABLE, &hKey);
if (bResult == FALSE)
// Import failed
// Decrypt the data
bResult = CryptDecrypt(hKey, 0, TRUE, 0, lpCypherText, &dwCypherTextLength);
if (bResult == FALSE)
// Decryption failed
// Decryption succeeded

Intel Names Interpublic Group Of Companies As Global Brand Marketing Agency
- 11 March, 2005 10:38

SYDNEY, Australia, 11th March, 2005 – Intel Corporation has selected Interpublic Group of Companies as its new global brand marketing agency of record. Effective immediately, the agency network led by McCann Worldgroup will help drive Intel's worldwide marketing communications strategy. That includes all global brand and advertising development and execution, media planning and buying, and Internet marketing.

Intel and McCann Worldgroup will work together to align marketing programs around the company's strategy to drive development of complete technology platforms – processors, chipsets, wireless communications capability, software and other technologies – that provide innovative and exciting new technologies for the marketplace.

"The Intel brand must consistently evolve in order to address new market opportunities," said Eric Kim, vice president and co-director of Intel's Sales and Marketing Group. "As Intel increases its focus on delivering technology in a way that benefits people in their daily lives through our approach to platforms, the new global agency will play a strategic role in helping to communicate the essence of the Intel brand and the company's technology benefits in a compelling way."

The Interpublic Group of Companies was awarded the account after a formal review process which began in September. The agency was selected for its strengths in marketing, brand development, creative strategy and execution, and global reach.

McCann Worldgroup will oversee the global management of the account. McCann Erickson, New York will serve as lead creative agency on the account, and Universal McCann will oversee media planning and buying. In addition, MRM Partners and R/GA will provide additional communications support, including Internet marketing.

Posted on 01/27/2006 3:07:55 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
click here to read article
that is awful! I have never heard of that kind of insurance...it sounds like they are just taking advantage of you
Good Morning!
Wow that felt good to me - passing on news to you about the possibility of making your life more enjoyable without
horrendous cost to you.
If and when you get the little machine, I would love to hear how you are doing!
Oh yeah, we're gonna die now. I have five inhalers left, no insurance, and Albuterol does not work for me. My father got me Advair disks on his insurance and I'm not sure how long all these will last. But smoking is still legal in this country -I don't smoke, but SHS does trigger attacks for me. Maybe if I suck on a death stick I can die quicker and suffocate faster at least? Banning life saving drugs for the environment? I will NEVER support any environmental causes again. I was in the hospital once for Asthma, Primatene kept me alive until I got treatment for Christ's sake. Epinephrine saves lives. I went to Emergency once in my entire life for an attack and I've been my own doctor all my life. I got a virus that made me exceptionally ill and survived because of my meds. When you have no insurance you sit in the waiting room like a dog with mostly immigrants and you're treated like garbage. I waited an hour to be seen, 6 hours in ER then hospitalized for 3 days. I went bankrupt after that. I won't go to a hospital if that happens and I don't have my Primatene. I'll die at home. At 38 I'm getting life insurance because of the ban so my family can carry on if anything happens.
They took away Ephedra which used to help me, because some jackasses used it incorrectly and died. People die every day, the government has no right to dictate bans on meds just because a few people get sick or die. You can drop dead from Viagra, choke on a McDonald's french fry...let's ban it all. Welcome to Amerika the new commie country. I already sign a paper to get my Sudafed. Will I be asked for my "papers" like back in Hitler's time? I used to be patriotic and all, but I'm becoming really disgusted with how stupid this country's leadership is.

The FAA has contracted with Frasca International, Inc., to build a Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) for the Cessna Citation Mustang light jet, which will be used as part of a NASA research grant by the Aerospace Human Factors Research Lab (AHFRL) at the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute in Oklahoma City. Research will focus first on pilot interaction with, and behavior related to, Traffic Avoidance System (TAS) and XMWX satellite weather information.
The Frasca FSTD will feature an accurate Mustang jet flight deck with actual Garmin G1000 avionics, plus TruFeel2 digital electric control loading, TruSound digital surround sound, and Frasca's Graphical Instructor Station (GISt), all designed to minimize the burden of simulation orientation, and allow researchers to focus on natural pilot behaviors, Frasca officials said.
With automated scenario execution and data recording, the FSTD will generate reports for post-flight analyses. Flights can be replayed on both the FSTD and remote Debrief Station, including playback of audio communications and cockpit video. Time-stamped event logs will include aircraft configuration, control inputs, attitude, location, and weather conditions. These tools will enable researchers to study complex circumstances in precise detail and identify meaningful trends, Frasca officials note.

Employers of Australian Apprentices should implement best practice in their employment arrangements for a number of reasons. Apprentices are often in their first full-time job, in unfamiliar environments and as such, an employers' guidance and support can go a long way to delivering a successful completion and a more productive workplace.
Performance management
Situations often arise in workplaces where employers may feel as though their employees are underperforming or failing to achieve required goals. Similarly, the Australian Apprentice may feel uncertain about seeking help, or simply unaware that their performance is not being viewed as acceptable.
It is important that these situations are handled sensitively. Performance management should involve managers and employees working together to come up with a plan and ideas to review an employee's performance and to provide them with a framework which will assist them to improve.
The below outlines some employment practices to manage the workplace performance of their Australian Apprentices.
- Employers are able to provide any relevant training which might assist the employee in fulfilling their job.
- Training can include internal training that assists the employee is understanding what is expected of them at work. It can also include training that enhances an employee's career goals and future opportunities.
- By offering career development opportunities and internal training, employers can minimise risk of underperformance and help establish a positive working environment that improves overall wellbeing, productivity and staff retention.
- Employers should conduct regular catch ups, performance reviews and informal feedback to employees wherever possible. This helps for staff to understand what is expected of them, what they are doing well and what areas they can improve in.
- Establishing set goals with staff may also help them to stay motivated and recognise their value within the organisation.
- Employers should aim to publicise and maintain an ongoing confidential system of communication which may allow staff to voice or discuss any employment-related queries, risks or complaints.
Codes of conduct and internal policies
- Codes of conduct and internal policies can assist an employer to manage risk liability and clearly outline workplace expectations, should staff issues arise.
- Conducts and policies should specifically define what conduct is required or prohibited at work, a process for lodging complaints and how the complaint will be resolved.
- A clear and concise performance management policy will help in managing and eliminating underperformance of staff.

Rebecca Fix has this new commentary that caught my eye under the headlined "Young Sex Offenders Shouldn't Have to Register; It's Ineffective and Hurts Everyone Around Them." The whole piece (and its many links) are worth checking out, and here is how it gets started:
Sex offender registration policies were initially developed for adults with sexual offenses, but have recently been extended to include youth with sexual offenses as well. At first glance, sex offender registration and notification (hereafter referred to as SORN) may make us feel safer, produce relief knowing that these individuals are being punished.
However, many of us don't realize that these practices don't protect our children. Required registration of and notification about youth with illegal sexual behavior, in particular, has resulted in serious economic and psychological burdens at multiple levels, affecting not only the youth who have to register (e.g., increase in suicidal ideation), but also their families (e.g., judgment from others, loss of job), neighbors (e.g., devaluation of home value) and communities (e.g., stress levels, potential changes in reputation).
Mental health providers and child advocates like myself and colleagues at the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse who have examined policies concerning sexual offending among youth know that SORN requirements stem from an ill-fitting classification system that has deleterious consequences.

Shame their budget or venue wouldn't stretch to 1:1 on this model. This is part of promotional efforts for the upcoming (August 2nd) theatrical release of スカイ・クロラ The Sky Crawlers, an adaptation of a popular SF novel series, being directed by Ghost in the Shell luminary 押井守 / Mamoru Oshii, and animated by Production IG. The release coincides with the release of the Ghost in the Shell remaster/renewal.
Not too sure about the film – whilst it will probably be great, and looks to have impeccable production values, a series might be a better choice for additional depth and development, especially considering there are five novels to work with. Will this be able to compete with the magnificent Last Exile for the crown of best aerial armada war anime?

The Health and Fitness Program on the School of Kinesiology is perfect for college kids curious about wellness, private coaching, coaching, or being a health and health educator. It is a rapidly growing subject and graduates are in excessive demand. The Michigan Benefit" lies not solely within the quality of our offerings, but also within the energy of all the extremely ranked, interdisciplinary programs across U-M's campus — drugs, public health, schooling, and enterprise, to name just a few — and a world-class athletics program. Thanks to your feedback, and for raising a couple of factors I have been meaning to deal with. Health care reform is such a large, complex issue, there are such a lot of parts to it, and shifting elements that relate in different ways to other elements, it is really a very vast and complicated factor to try to get a good stable grasp on. In a manner it is no surprise people are so confused and scared, they're too busy to essentially take the time to figure the whole thing out.
Have you ever ever been upset that after trying food regimen after diet, you found that you had actually gained weight? Dropping pounds requires a brand new mind-set and exhausting work; it's by no means straightforward. My pleasure. I used to be fortunate, it never bought actually severe, just patches.

A big question can help guide your next inquiry while helping you to meet curriculum objectives.
Imagine how engaged students would be in their learning if they thought about the topic you were teaching every time they ate or visited a grocery store.
You've likely been part of exciting brainstorming sessions with your colleagues on big questions and tasks that meet your curriculum objectives while allowing your students to explore big concepts that are relevant to their lives.
Agriculture is a topic that connects to every student's life and is something they will engage in several times each day. And it can connect in a meaningful way to most subjects, whether in grade one or grade twelve.
Consider big questions such as:
Some questions will, of course, lend themselves to different age groups and curriculums better than others, but all of these questions are accessible by diverse students while meeting specific curriculum outcomes depending on the tasks and activities you set for students to explore the bigger question through.
An inquiry based on one of these, or similar, big questions will engage students across many subjects. If you are teaching grade four, for example, the question of growing more food to feed the world while lowering environmental impact can clearly connect to many specific outcomes in the Waste and Our World and Plant Growth and Change units, but to really tackle the question you'll need to bring in the data analysis and number concept units in math, a look at current events, Alberta geography, and history in social studies, and creative writing, speaking, and listening skills in language arts.
All the while, students will engage with this sort of topic independently of the classroom.

Excited by making "photo of the day" on Cycling Tips blog today, pictured below, I thought I would publish some of my other pics here.
Being an avid follower of all things cycling and a largely self taught photographer (still very early stages of the learning curve) I have drawn inspiration from a fellow Melbourne photographer, Veeral Patel.
For me his photos truly capture the essence of the sport; the story not only on the road, but off it too. Each photo stands alone as a solid piece of work, yet together they tell a documentary of the day in still form.
If Veeral's photos are the SBS of cycling photography; I am merely the early incarnations of Channel Nine's coverage, but it's a start! One day I may get the opportunity of sitting on the back of a motorbike snapping an event, but for now I'll watch from the sidelines and snap away.
The cycling season is now upon us and I look forward to more of Veeral's amazing work.
I highly recommend you checking out his blog and even purchasing a piece for your wall. I have never met the man, but his story of sacrifice for a dream is inspiring and worth a read if you haven't already done so (here).
So to my pics.....

Movie Details
A deep-sea submersible part of an international undersea observation program has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer, against the wishes of his daughter Suyin, to save the crew and the ocean itself from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that, years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now, teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own life to save everyone trapped below bringing him face to face once more with the greatest and largest predator of all time.

Infrared and Submillimeter Astronomy
The Symposium on Infrared and Submillimeter Astronomy was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., on June 8-10, 1976, as an activity associated with the Nineteenth Plenary Meeting of the Committee on Space Research (CaSPAR). The Symposium was sponsored jointly by CaSPAR, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and the International Union of Radio Science CURSI). caSPAR is an interdisciplinary scientific organization, established by the International Council of Scientific Unions in 1958, to, in the words of its charter, "provide the world scientific community with the means whereby it may exploit the possibilities of satellites and space probes of all kinds for scientific purposes and exchange the resulting data on a co operative basis." The purpose of this particular CaSPAR Sympo sium was to present new results in infrared and submillimeter astronomy obtained by observations on aircraft, high altitude balloons, rockets, satellites, and space probes. Topics dis cussed included the Sun, the solar system, galactic and extra galactic objects as well as the cosmic background radiation. Instrumentation for observations in infrared and submillimeter astronomy was also discussed, with particular emphasis on future programs from space observatories.

I got my two WTT specials sprayed yesterday with four coats of T-Bird in between wind gusts and raindrops...lol. I'm bringing them with me in the car. These super narrow bows have sure been a learning experience. They've shown me how taking the profile down to the limit affects draw weight and tiller on this profile...good information to know...you know, take it too far then you know how much to dial it back. It looks like a good approach on narrowing limbs for speed is to narrow them down until it just starts losing reflex...take it too far and it will lose too much. Then add more tip wedge on the next one it order to get it narrower. Just thinking out loud here. I'm sure I'm not the only one who reads this site who thinks about bow design and the way limbs bend all of the time. Jim
Jim, you hit it right on the nose there about stacking them deep and trimming width profiles. Good sport isn't it? As long as you dont go throwing a wild recurve into the mix while you are at it, its a great experience.... needless to say, my Shorty revcuve is not going to make the trip this year.... you ever miss your poundage by 72 pounds before? Yup..... 127 @ 28" was a bit much. i could have sold tickets watching me get a string on that thing.
Did you finally get some of that carbon to hold for you?
i only ended up with two sets of single carbons that held. and one set i slimmed down too far and it lost its power. the other set was just too light weight to even bother with entering it, so i'm saving that set for my wife.
Looking forward to meeting you Friday night. Kirk

Doctor Who and the hullabaloo
"There's no need to get your Tardis in a twist."
When I heard the news, I was so excited I mentally renamed the show Doctor Woohoo.
But predictably, inevitably, depressingly, not everyone shared my enthusiasm for the BBC's announcement that super talented Jodie Whittaker is taking up the mantle as the next double-hearted TV Time Lord.
Enraged Whovians started a petition and took to Twitter to express their fury via aggressive hashtagging - #NotMyDoctor #PCKillstheDoctor.
#GetAGrip. There's no need to get your Tardis in a twist, fretting she'll paint the phone box pink, play Beyoncé on repeat and forget to fight the Daleks because she's too busy talking about feelings. And before anyone starts banging on about the canon and continuity, we already know female Time Lords exist, OK?
Considering their love of futuristic telly, certain Whovians can be pretty backward-thinking. Why are time travel, regeneration and aliens more believable than a female Doctor? Some say they're sad about young boys losing precious role models. Yeah, that will be tough on the tykes. After all, they'll only have nearly all TV and film ever made and the last fifty years of Doctor Who to keep them going. What next? Will women be given the right to vote? Will we be allowed out unchaperoned? Given equal pay? (Steady on, that last one is pure science fiction.)
At least some of the haters are accidentally stumbling upon some cracking ideas.
#doctor13 the last nail in in coffin for doctor who☠. Made her a vegan lesbian as well? Hey, Lets make James Bond female while we're at it?— Jamie John (@Mr_Gohoganog) July 16, 2017
I am very much onboard with both these suggestions. If you can't represent different genders, sexualities and dietary requirements in sci-fi, then where can you? We've already got a working class lesbian of colour as the Doctor's companion - #BillPottsRocks.
True to form, the Sun and the Mail Online reacted to the news by praising the BBC's ground-breaking decision. Just kidding. They were too busy racing to objectify the new doc as quickly as possible, publishing irrelevant nude photos of her previous acting roles, helpfully reminding us that however successful a woman is she can be reduced to her body in an instant. Ta tabloids.
So what can we learn from the Doctor Who hullabaloo? Well, a lot of people still dislike women and lack imagination. But on the plus side, although they may resist change, change is happening. So here's to a Doctor we can look up to and root for, whether she's coming up against hostile lifeforms in the Tardis or on Twitter. And if you need any further indication of why this casting choice is an awesome step into a bold new future, just watch this girl's reaction when she heard the news:

Revolutions Theater Festival
I missed the Wau Wau Sisters from New York City on Wednesday, because I went to a Coalition planning meeting for the March 15 Peace March, on the anniversary of the U.S. entry into Iraq. However, last night I went to see Lauren Weedman, from Los Angeles, in her performance piece"Bust". She's a former correspondent of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, reporting from a new location, the LA County penal system. She became a volunteer for Beyond Bars, a prisoner advocacy organization. Scenes from the prison and her interviews with the three women who were assigned to her are interspersed with auditions for her paying acting jobs and telephone calls with the editor of Glamor Magazine about the publication of a story of one of her most personal life moments. Lauren takes on the persona of each person, including the jail guards. This humorous but serious piece was awareded "Best of the Arts 2006 by Seattle Times and Seattle Magazine. After the event, a reception in the lobby was sponsored by Copy Rite and Ribs, a restaurant in Cedar Crest, in the East Mountains. There was roast beef with barbeque sauce, sliced ham and turkey, crudites, stuffed mushrooms, and punch and cookies. More events of the festival in the next three weeks.

Summer is upon us! Cherish those early morning sunrises with the fresh cool air – and even the evenings have been wonderful. We enjoy sitting outside on our newly remodeled deck enjoying the weather and relaxing after a strenuous day working the farm.
We are picking up a new batch of pastured all natural chicken and beef at the processor this coming week. The supplies should be plentiful. We have several bundles listed – not quite as much as a 1/4 but enough to get a good deal on! We have sold many 1/2 and 1/4 beeves the last few months – hopefully everyone is stocking up – as the price of beef is only due to continue rising. It is a nice feeling to know you have a healthy safe sustainably raised supply of beef in your freezer! Just add a few wholesome tasty chickens and your are set!
The veggies are slowly coming on. Summer squash, chard, beets, green beans, – the eating is getting good!
We have not made the Ponca Farmers Market as we had planned this year. Last minute issues with time/labor has prevented us from attending. Please do come out to the farm and visit us, and we will be happy to deliver product to the Ponca area for your convenience – just drop us a line!
Take Care and Enjoy!

With Memorial Day in our rear-view, it's time to start thinking about Summer, even if we're still kind of waiting for the thermometer to catch up. And what better way to welcome the Summer than with some cake and ice cream?! Can't think of anything better? Then I have the recipe for you!
These mini coffee cake ice cream sandwiches will take you to beach-view rocking chairs and Summer bonfires, without having to leave your kitchen! This is my favorite recent project, and I am so excited to share them with you! Keep reading to find out how to make your own!
So, first things first: for these sandwiches I used My Grandma's mini coffee cakes, which come in wonderful variety packs of 9 cakes, 3 cakes each of 3 delicious flavors. The pack I used has Pumpkin Spice, Lemon Poppy, and New England Blueberry flavors, perfect for pairing with fun ice cream flavors!
I used a mini carton of vanilla ice cream for my sandwiches, with some mini chocolate chips to add some flavor, and I used this simple trick to make the perfect shaped ice cream center.
I just sliced the carton open! (Though I might suggest completely taking off the carton and just slicing the ice cream itself, if you can).
Then I just placed the ice cream disk in between two slices of my mini coffee cake (this one New England Blueberry). I pre-froze the cake before slicing for a cleaner cut.
Finally, I rolled the ice cream delectable in a plate of mini chocolate chips, for the perfect crunch and flavor. And I slid this one back in its cake's individual wrapper and tied it with a bow (not pictured) for a fun little present for a friend. Try it yourself! I would love to hear what your friends think, the response I got was, "Yummmm! I would buy this." :)
I also experimented a bit with different slices of cake, and the little bite of a sandwich (made with a Lemon Poppy coffee cake) was just as delicious as the full sized!
Now let that melty goodness lead you into Summer. Don't blame me if you start sweating!
Find the mini cakes here and share your sandwiches with us by linking to our social media!
And start your Summer in style with a gift for Dad that he will love (and can eat!) Find a cake (and celebratory tin) for Father's Day on our website or enter our Giveaway below to win one for free!

Well, today I am going to discuss about PHP's GD library - how to get the Red, Green, Blue information of a pixel of an image resource.
Firstly, when we want to get a pixel's color information from an image, we use
imagecolorat. The function returns a 24 bit RGB information in Integer. So by shifting the bits, you will be able to get the individual Red, Green, Blue components of the RGB information in integer.
// retrieve rgb info from $img resource at ($x,$y)
$rgb = imagecolorat($img,$x,$y);
$r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;
$g = ($rgb >> 8) & 0xFF;
$b = $rgb & 0xFF;
Note that each color has a value that runs from 0 to 255 (8 bit).

Mathew Martoma, 38, of Boca Raton, Florida, was charged last week in what US prosecutors called "the most lucrative" insider-trading scheme ever. Cohen was not charged with wrongdoing.

Are you taking advantage of one of the most important tools to improve healthcare? Of course, I am referring to the telephone? I know what you are thinking. How can a device Invented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell be the newest tool? The fact of the matter is that leading healthcare organizations are using the telephone to improve patient care.
Things Have Changed
In 2009, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that almost one-fifth of Medicare patients were re-hospitalized within 30 days of discharge. To make matters worse, more than one third of patients were re-hospitalized within 90 days. The cost of readmissions was over $17 billion.
As a result of this and other studies, Congress emphasized the reduction in re-admissions when drafting the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as "Obamacare."
Under ACA, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) can withhold hospital payments for excessive re-admissions. This has dramatically increased the importance of post-discharge care. Leading healthcare institutions are developing a multi-pronged strategy to reduce re-admission rates. Because of this, the telephone now plays a critical role in this strategy.
By calling patients after discharge, providers can contact patients or their caregivers shortly after discharge to ensure that they understand and follow their post-discharge instructions. They can ensure that follow-up appointments are made (and kept) and gather feedback on their hospital experience. They can identify those patients at risk for re-admission and put measures in place to reduce the risk.
When implementing a telephone based patient follow-up initiative, hospitals can take a cue from the call center industry to ensure that quality tele-care is provided. In our next blog, we will look at a suite of tools that innovative hospitals use to manage their post-discharge calling efforts and reduce hospital re-admissions.
Who would have thought that something invented over a century ago could play such an important role in healthcare?

I just figured it out!
If anyone has any questions in the future - here was my solution.
Smooth was correct - you have to have an html file to work with. In my case the autogenerated file did not work (as I would like it to)
I had to hard code the line 'http://huntersfriendresort.com/panotour/RW23/rw23/_flash/TourWeaver_rw23.html' into the ahref link.
Working good now though.
Thanks again

Making It Matter at GTI 2014
We stepped foot on the Oxford College campus on Friday, June 6 to begin what would become the best two weeks of the year: the 2014 Georgia Teen Institute. Week 1 of GTI was scheduled to begin the following Monday, and a lot of preparation was necessary to make sure we were ready for participants to arrive. As soon as the moving truck backed in to unload at the dorms, we started to piece together Command Central and the many components of camp that made us feel at home. The days leading up to the start of the program are often quiet, but a closer look at the calm scene reveals hard work, frantic preparation and tireless dedication to the cause. We kicked off with Staff Development Weekend 2 (a continuation from part 1 held in March), a time for staff to bond, learn their way around campus, practice the…

PTA Assembly Ideas
Tired of the same old assemblies at your school? Chances are the kids are too. Regardless of age, school assemblies should be interesting. It doesn't matter whether the assembly is to encourage school spirit or to offer instruction. Often, one member or a team of the school's PTA coordinates with student body and school administration to develop assemblies. Knowing what works and what doesn't is the first step in developing school assemblies that not only deliver the information or topic under discussion in an interactive way, but those that keep the students interested and engaged.
Developing a theme
School assemblies are called for a number of reasons. Informational assemblies talk about dress or uniform expectations, codes of conduct or safety strategies. Assemblies may also be held to develop and encourage school spirit, while yet others are held to impart education or in-depth information to students. Regardless of the type of assembly, PTA members should identify a theme or topic before planning even begins. This ensures that the assembly will stay on track and remain focused on one idea or concept, rather than several, which often end up dragging on too long and risk becoming boring.
Cater the theme and method of delivery for elementary, middle school and high school levels. In addition, PTA members will find that their messages and assemblies are more successful when delivered in a unique, entertaining, yet effective manner. Studies have shown that one of the most popular methods for imparting such information these days is in skills demonstrations. For example, BMX stunt shows are a perennial favorite at schools across the country, and can be used as a vehicle for bike safety, character development, and discussions about bullying.
The main goal of a school assembly is to capture the student's attention. Performers and guests such as BMX riders, martial artists, and other active, entertaining, and skill-based talents and activities provide an excellent venue for instructing students of all ages about serious topics.
Assembly Ideas
Strike a balance between entertainment and education. Some of the most popular PTA assembly ideas include:
- Stunt shows (martial artists, BMX stunts, skateboarding stunts, gymnastics, and basketball skills)
- Assemblies that requires interaction between the speaker/s and students, such as requiring the "use" of a student as a volunteer
- Magic shows
- Musicians
- Robotics
- Human board games
- Science shows and experiments
As you can see, a wide variety of ideas is available to PTAs when designing a school assembly. Know your students, pay attention to their interests, and your school assembly is sure to be memorable.

A beautiful wedding cake with fountains. Visit this website to get more beautiful and elegant wedding cakes with fountains. 🙂
Every engaged couple wants their wedding day to be as memorable as they can possibly make it, and will put their utmost effort into planning it down to the smallest detail. The bridal and bridesmaid's gowns, the grooms and groomsman's tuxedos, the flowers and cake and reception meal, the rings and the honeymoon arrangements are all the subject of great debate and anxiety, and even the most financially conservative couples are often willing to splurge on their weddings.
One uncommon way of adding a distinctive touch to a wedding is by selecting a wedding cake with fountains, which will add that longed-for touch of unforgettable drama to the happy day's proceedings.
Wedding cakes with fountains are constructed so that the fountains are beneath the cake, where its waters are clearly seen and when lighting is applied to them, become even more dramatic. Most wedding cakes with fountains have flowers around the bases of the fountains, enhancing their size.
You can try to find a bakery in your vicinity which offers wedding cakes with fountains. If you can't find one, you always have the option of designing your own. You can order your wedding caked from a local bakery, and then go to a wedding accessories store and by the cake stand and fountain. Having a wedding cake with a fountain is one way to add an unforgettable touch of glamor to your wedding day, with the melodic sound of gently running water and the brilliance of its reflected lights!
An elegant white wedding cake with fountains. Visit this online store to know the possible availability of this cake.

I've accepted the challenge to blog everyday in May from Jenni at Story of My Life. I'm a little apprehensive as I'm not used to getting all personal on here but you only live once! The topics are set and I'm away ...
The Story of My Life
(in 250 words or less) ...
I was born to in Bunbury, Western Australia in the 70's. I was the last of six children. I have four sisters and a brother (you have to feel sorry for him). We moved again when I was six to Rockingham where I had a very impressive Lego collection. Perth finally became my home when I was 13.
I first moved out of home at 18 but moved back in about a year later. I went to Uni and studied early childhood teaching. I was very happy when that was all done and dusted. I just wanted to experience the real world. For several years I worked hard and partied hard while having a string of crappy boyfriends!
I've lived in 14 different homes! Only four of these were as a child. As you can tell I'm quite experienced in moving.
I met my husband when I was 27years old. He had a shaved head, a goatee and although he seemed nice I thought he looked like a bit of a bad boy. I'd had enough of that scene. It took another six months til we met again and I finally saw him for his true self. It's funny as we are so similar in some ways but so opposite in others.
We married in 2005 and have not looked back. Our two beautiful daughters took a while coming but they finally blessed our lives in 2009 and 2011. The love I have for my children amazes me every single day.

Boomer Or Bill Murray...
Scans from transmission 37
...is Toph trying tomake a pass at the gnome? (and the chair!)
...or is he in fact smitten with Dr. Rose?
That gnome-stuff...
I first thought Toph is just drunkenly making a pass at everybody and everything, real or imagination. So I 'used' it when making my 'drunken foreign exchange student' flirt-vid. I don't mean to offend anyone, especially not Swedish girls but he seems to me as a internetporn surfer that has never actually touched boobs and has fantasies about wimen around him so I ran with it. Also I was encoruaged in the MNEMA chat at lingr to play drunk.
Maybe I should've played Dr. Rose but I just can't do her justice! I know my limitations.
...But I'm kinda hoping the gnome conversation was him reinacting something, and that more vids will show him talking with himself and revealing even more stuff stuff from the past.

A 20-minute drive out of Copenhagen and you'll arrive in North Zealand. Tucked away on the borders of Dyrehaven, one of the most picturesque UNESCO Heritage nature reserves in Denmark, is Kurhotel Skodsborg. Framed by the crystal-clear Baltic Sea, with the Gribskov Forest as its backdrop – this hidden gem of a spa hotel dates back to 1898 and boasts a 360° holistic offering, based on the founder's wellbeing principles.
Originally conceived by Dr Carl Ottosen nearly 120 years ago, the spa has reinvigorated his philosophy of 'light, air, nutrition, water, rest and exercise' in a minimalist mega-spa. Over 5,000 m2, it boasts a state-of-the-art gym, yoga rooms, beauty treatments by Kerstin Florian and BioEffect, plus 16 different cooling and heating experiences. A must is the signature SaunaGus. The extreme sauna experience is led by a SaunaGus Master followed by a dip in the Baltic. Not for the faint of heart.
The 85 rooms have a Scandi-cool aesthetic – white-on-white décor is warmed up with soft grey carpets, velvet textiles and down duvets. Attention to detail is everything: mini hot water bottles tucked into your bed at night, ginger shots presented at breakfast to set you up for the day and spa-themed toiletries in your room.
The light and airy lobby, meanwhile, has a library corner full of art books and stylish Vertigo pendant lamps by Constance Guisset. An imaginative afternoon tea – Tea with Georg, a collaboration with Danish homeware designer Georg Jensen – is served here. Forget the scones though, this is as healthy as it gets with paleo bread, raw cookie balls with nuts, smoked salmon and fresh cheese.
As well as a third-floor brasserie offering modern takes on Danish classics, not to mention wonderful ocean views and a buzzy vibe, there is also Restaurant by Kroun. Expect a healthy interpretation of haute-cuisine, designed by head chef Eric Kroun – Pollack, Radishes, Lemon & Dill and Bresse Chicken and Danish Black Lobster were standout dishes. Pair with wines or, if you are being super-healthy, with non-alcoholic cocktails – such as Gooseberry Martini and Caramalised Apple Juice.
There's a huge range of inventive activities to book: from Mindful Power Training and Silent Retreats to CrossFit Bootcamps by the ocean and Running Workshops through the forest. Culinary buffs should ask about events run by Michelin-starred chef Thomas Rode. He is in residence at Villa Rex – a historic building in the grounds – where he offers bespoke 'clean eating' classes.
You won't get bored here: from live jazz in the lobby to Nordic Noir nights with famous Danish crime writers, such as Sara Blædel, there are tons of things to keep you amused.
Take a trip to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. Housed in an architecturally-striking building on the shores of the Øresund Sound, it is the most visited museum in Denmark (en.louisiana.dk).
A double room at Kurhotel Skodsborg costs from £161 per night (based on two sharing). For more information, visit: skodsborg.dk/en or call +45 4558 5800.
