It's as if he walked out of the pages of their favorite new novel, a scandalous romance called Pride and Prejudice. But Justina Penny can't understand why her fellow Belles are starry-eyed in the newcomer's arrogant presence-surely a wicked Wickham would be infinitely more fun...An Unlikely Leading LadyJustina is the opposite of Darius's ideal woman-not that he's looking for romance.

If this isn't the right thing to do on this forum, I wouldn't mind if you just deleted this message Here is my problem: I bought a URC-7556 in India and it is working perfectly fine with 4 of my devices. The 5th device is a WDTV HD Live box and that is where my trouble starts. Whatever I do, I cannot get the remote to learn some of the functions. Some functions are learnt just fine and this is what baffles me. I am quite a techie with an engineering degree and all that but getting this to work is proving to be more of a challenge. To add to this, the local service center has stopped taking calls for some reason. I spoke with them once when the lady offered to pick up the remote and have it upgraded to work with: - LG LCD TV - LG DVD Player - A Tata Sky+ DVR box - An Onkyo receiver / amplifier / surround system No one has turned up and no one has bothered to call me back. In this time I've gone ahead and added a WDTV Live box and ended up with more remotes than ever. What I need is this: is there a key-punch sequence which I can use to program the WDTV remote onto my URC-7556? as I remember clearly that on my previous call to the support team that had given me a sequence to program the 'Record' button of my Sky+ box as that was the only function that wouldn't work. After the code punch, it all came together just fine. What should I do next? Make the cable (no choice of buying it in these parts of the world) and get busy with the coding? Please help.

To do that, the remote has to have a setup code built in which already sends the correct IR protocol, and the correct device numbers. Unfortunately, the URC-7556 has no setup codes that will send NEC1 device 132.121. So it isn't possible to manually program in the Western Digital functions. I'm not aware of any remote which does have the needed setup code. I think that you'll need to make a serial JP1.2/1.3 cable. Back to top vickyg2003Site AdminJoined: 20 Mar 2004Posts: 7016Location: Florida Posted: Sun Nov 14, 2010 12:19 am Post subject: The WDTV Live uses a NEC1 132, 121 signal. We don't know of any standard setups that uses that combination, so until you get/make your cable, you need to rely on learns. These signals should be easy to learn. It is real important to capture the first part of the signal on NEC1 signals. Make sure your learning remote is flashing BEFORE you press the button on the OEM remote. Do your learning in a low light (dark) environment. Flourescent lights and sunlight can interfere with learning._________________Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades. Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

And that point about learning it in low light has really helped. I discovered it from the user manual and was surprised. Once I did it low light, I could at least learn some functions. I was shying away from making the cable only because my schedule does not permit me to run around for the components. I saw the diagram and figured it out that it isn't complicated. But then time has now come to make it. Will let you all know of the progress.

Researches indicate that the main reason for an employee to leave an organization is the failure of the organization to acknowledge the employees work. Rewarding the employees for their work is quite important as motivation is the key element required for the success of an organization.
Nowadays, many organizations recognize that employees are not motivated solely by money and employee behavior is linked to their attitudes (Dickson, 1973). Staffs' attitudes always link to the following point of views: interesting work, full appreciation of work done, job security, good working conditions, promotions, and personal loyalty to employees
Theoretically, there are two aspects to motivation techniques intrinsic and extrinsic. Extrinsic relates to tangible rewards, such as salary, promotion, work environment and working conditions. People believe that these tangible rewards are decided at organizational level and are therefore outside the control of individual managers. Intrinsic relates to what has been described as 'psychological' rewards, such as the opportunity to use ones ability, a sense of challenge and achievement, receiving words of appreciation.
These always determined from the actions and the behavior of individual managers. ('The art of motivating employees')In addition, according to Mullins needs and expectations can be distinguished in economic rewards, intrinsic satisfaction, and social relationships. Economic rewards such as pay, fringe benefits, and material goods are an instrumental orientation to work. Intrinsic satisfaction is provided by the work itself like interest in the job itself, personal growth and development which represents a personal orientation to work. Friendships, teamwork, and the need for affiliation are part of the social relationship that constitutes the relational orientation to work. In general, there are many motivation theories, and have been divided into tow contrasting groups: content theories, which concentrates on what peoples needs and pursue those strengths in order to satisfy those needs; and process...

I can't believe that it is 20 years since Thelma and Louise was released. We still have so much work to do. This is a movie that resonated with people in a profound way, it's a movie that people still think about fondly, yet sadly it is a movie that never effected any long term change for women in Hollywood.
Where are the characters that came after Thelma and Louise? Where are the women? This is a significant anniversary for women in film. Everyone remembers what they felt when they saw this movie for the first time (aside from how cute Brad Pitt was.) Share your memories of Thelma and Louise what has changed for women in film since then and what hasn't.
I wrote a piece several months ago about what could have been and pondering why things haven't changed. Here's some of it:
Thelma and Louise came out in May of 1991 and change was in the air. The film touched a raw nerve in women that had been lying dormant during the Reagan backlash years. It became a cultural touchstone, was on covers of magazines, and got both Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon Academy Award nominations. Geena Davis tells stories of women seeing her on the road and honking at her and thanking her for the film. But here we are 20 years later and it feels like that film was never made.
Where are the Thelma and Louise type movies today? Why weren't there movies made in its wake? Why didn't studios get women writers to create more characters like Thelma and Louise? Is it about the power that they had? Is the culture really that afraid of women?
I don't get it and neither does Khouri who said answered a question about why we have never seen these types of characters again. (This is part of a larger interview with Khouri that will be published in the upcoming In Her Voice: Interview with Female Directors)
It's a strange thing. I kind of thought this would really help. The response to this movie was overwhelming both positive and negative. Looking back, you could say its impression was indelible. And yet, I can't point to a lot of other movies that have really followed in its footsteps.
To me folks, that is the question. Why didn't we build on Thelma and Louise? It feels like we have spent the 20 years since losing power for women onscreen. The opportunity was ripe in 1991 and now in 2011 it feels in some respects like we are back at the starting gate.
Here are some pieces celebrating the anniversary:
'Thelma and Louise' stepped on the gas of feminism 20 years ago; today, they'd drive over that cliff all over again (Cleveland Plain Dealer)
Looking Back On 'Thelma & Louise' 20 Years Later (NPR)

"There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America."
Those of you capable of remembering clear back to 2004 will recognize these as the words of a certain Senator Obama, keynoting the Democrat National Convention…..how time does fly, no? And rhetoric, too.
Obama had the chance, in eight years between 2008 and 2016, to put these words into practice….in his own life, and in his speeches. And the entire 8 years was like one great big "Never Mind", as he became the single most divisive figure to occupy the office since (perhaps) Abraham Lincoln….who at least divided the nation over something both real and important.
I'm not going to go on and on….but Myron Magnet has penned a fabulous essay in City Journal. It's called The Obama Tragedy. There's a LOT more – don't miss it.
P.S. I KNEW I recognized that name – Myron Magnet is the author of The Dream and the Nightmare: the Sixties' Legacy to the Underclass, a GREAT book (now available for $0.01, plus postage) that I read back in the early years of this century.
Have you heard of TroopsDirect.org? Well, neither had I until this afternoon when Aaron Negherbon (no, I can't help you with the pronunciation), the guy who started it and runs it today was interviewed by Jonathan Gilliam, who was subbing for Sean Hannity.
TroopsDirect supplies our front-line fighting guys with ANYthing they need and can't get through the red-tape-burdened military supply chain – I mean helmets, body-armor carriers, stethoscopes and other medical equipment, energy bars and other high-energy foods, K-9 dogs, parts for a forward-base's generator, and on and on. It was just unbelievable to me, even though I remembered my time dealing with the Feds when I was in Peace Corps and needed equipment – full YEAR it took. It never had occurred to me that our guys on the front lines might have to deal with the SAME kind of Washington D.C. mulish inefficiency and block-headedness as I dealt with from 1970s Venezuela

Milo Yiannopoulos has apparently signed a $250K contract with Simon & Schuster. Those who know what's best for us better than we do ourselves are FURIOUS, of course. Twitter is ablaze! Milo is laughing all the way to the bank – he LOVES making (the right – though no one on The Right seems upset) people mad, and all the buzz being produced will only increase the sales of his #1 Best-Selling (whatever that mean, these days) book, titled Dangerous. It comes out in March.
I learned about Milo when Sean Hannity interviewed him sometime last year – I was REALLY intrigued! He sounded like me and my friends when we were in (boarding) high school as he described his plans to drive the power structure crazy!! I loved it. I know little of him – just that he seems to make the Left go nuts, and what's not to like about THAT?!?
This one was titled How to Total a Vehicle Without Scratching the Outside. You really need to go to the link and look at the photographs, or the rest of this isn't going to make a lot of sense….
OK….are you aware of the current craze (among some) in California for "re-wilding California", that is, bringing back all the wild animals that were historically here, and setting aside enough land for them to thrive naturally – not as though in a zoo. And yes…..that would include the grizzly bear!!
When I first heard this, I said "Nonsense!", which (regardless of how stupid something sounds) is NOT wise – it's the Left we're dealing with, after all…..and "environmentalist wackos" on top of it. And then the NRA published this article, confirming what I'd heard earlier, and explaining that the idea would be to shut down all human hunting in the State, as the populations of "top predators" increased to the point where there wouldn't be any "excess" game animals for people to shoot.
Of course, as "game animals" ran short for the grizzlies, cougars, etc…..what (who?) would be left? The folks who vote for this kind of merde live in Hollywood, Silicon Valley, San Francisco, etc…..so they have very little to worry about. But, the rest of us……?
Another book recommendation. It's not a new one – first published in 2006, and now available from Amazon (does Bookworm still have a button?) for a penny (plus $3.99 postage). And, for most of our dear Bookworm's readers, it's likely not going to be bringing a big surprise, either. I heard the author interviewed today – in a "best of" show, so it MIGHT have been taped almost 10 years ago. No matter, some of the stuff he was talking about had my mouth dropping open…..
The book is Who Really Cares, and it deserves WIDE readership. Written by a (then) liberal-leaning musician and academic, Arthur C. Brooks, who was a French-hornist of sufficient quality to have toured with various bands, played in the Annapolis Brass Quintet and the City Orchestra of Barcelona and taught at the Harid Conservatory. I'm guessing his liberalism was largely absorbed from his (artistic) surroundings, considering his later efforts.
At 30, he went (back?) to college, and got a bachelor's in Economics, then a Master's in the same and finally a doctorate in policy analysis. He worked at the RAND corporation, Georgia State and then Syracuse University, where he did the research for this book (He now works at AEI). The big finding is that people identifiable as conservatives are far more generous (as a % of income) than are those identifiable as liberals. Big surprise, no? No. Religious people are more generous as well – and it's not just money….they give more of their TIME than the non-religious, and religious conservatives are more generous than religious liberals.
Worth having for that annoying friend who denies the obvious, anyhow……

According to the official results, Muhammad Iqbal Shah of PML-N has won NA-154 (Lodhran-I) bye-election with 26,256 more votes than PTI's Ali Khan Tareen—son of Jahangir Tareen. The election was held on Feb. 12.
There were a total of 10 candidates—7 as independent candidates. The National Assembly seat (NA-154) had fallen vacant after the disqualification of the then secretary general of PTI Jahangir Tareen by the Supreme Court in its verdict in December 2017.

All of this means that I'll sneeze my way into the new year tomorrow night heavier, smarter, more relaxed, and ready to conquer the next set of goals. My coach and I worked out the following list for the first half of 2012:
1/21 ~ 200K Brevet
1/29 ~ Callaway Half-marathon (training tempo run)
2/11 ~ Chattahoochee Challenge 10K
2/18 ~ Tundra TT
3/3 ~ 200K Brevet
3/18 ~ Georgia Half-marathon
3/25 ~ Powerman Alabama
4/14 ~ Wheels 'o Fire Century
4/22 ~ Cheaha Challenge
4/28 ~ Issaqueena's Last Ride
5/6 ~ REV3 Knoxville 70.3
5/12 ~ Brasstown Bald Buster Century (this is a maybe)
6/2 ~ REV3 Quassy 70.3
6/24 ~ Ironman Coeur d'Alene
I'm looking forward to each of them, even though it's a little bit difficult to imagine running a 5K in two weeks given how terrible I feel right now. I'm sure that I'll bounce back soon.
The Georgia Half-Marathon and Powerman Alabama are going to be major focus events, as will be the two half-iron triathlons. Of course, they all lead to the grandaddy event of the summer, Ironman CdA. The Half-Marathon and Powerman are going to be important markers, too, because they will represent the moment in my training when I switch from shorter VO2 max stuff to longer LT stuff. As I've written before, starting with the shorter repeats and moving to the longer stuff is new for this training cycle, and I'm looking forward to it. Between now and mid-March, I'll do a lower number of hours but with higher intensity. This will include my Coach's "Ultimate Cycling Sessions" twice a week, some faster stuff in the pool, and plenty of shorter repeats on the gravel track across the street from our house. After the Georgia HM and Powerman (both of which should be faster as a result of the shorter, faster training), I'll build my hours and switch to longer, less intense training sessions. As a result, I hope to be better prepared to perform well at Ironman CdA.
With the start of the new year, I'll clean up my eating, I'll quit missing workouts, I'll start losing the weight I've gained, and hopefully, I'll kick this cold. After a month of rest, I'm looking forward to it!

BFP Stories
Early Pregnancy Symptoms and Big Fat Positives
Infertility and surprises
We started trying to get pregnant in fall 2007 (I was 25). By 2011, after years of trying and a handful of miscarriages, the final straw was being 12/13 weeks and hearing there is no heartbeat. I decided was time to try fertility treatments. I had no clue what this entailed. Since our insurance doesn't cover anything related to fertility we started with medicated/timed ovulation. Then switched to IUIs. After no luck we made the decision to do IVF. First fresh transfer resulted in a healthy baby boy. After being told by my nurse to try on our own because sometimes our bodies are capable, they could maybe need a jumpstart, I got pregnant but had a chemical pregnancy. Immediately following that loss I went ahead and did a FET which gave us our second son. When he was 4 months old I was still exclusively breastfeeding and didn't have a period yet. I went in for a 12w post partum check up at my birth center to be told I was pregnant! On our own! My third son came on his due date in December 2015. Knowing we wanted 4 kids we decided to try on our own for about 6 months and had no luck. After speaking to a new doc at our center (my previous RE left the practice) we decided to do genetic testing on my embryos. Out of 10 'good' embryos only 4 came back 'normal'. We went ahead and did a FET (the first frostie didn't make the thaw, so we thawed a second) and after a positive test and two good betas my numbers dropped and I had a miscarriage. I was very discouraged and beyond sad over this loss. This embryo was healthy and perfect. I felt the need to try on our own during the month or two between cycles. I ovulated as usual following the miscarriage and then started spotting a little bit brown on the day my period was due but then it stopped. My nurse said that's normal after a failed FET so we went ahead and scheduled my next FET for September. I was supposed to start meds this week but surprisingly enough I took a pregnancy test and got a BFP! I know it's still early, and in the infertility journey this is on my step 1. But it's an amazing direction to be going in!

Been away for a while. Not away away, just away from the computer and internet. I do that every once in a while. I shut down my compute, read only mail, and go to FB from time to time (and loath every second of it). Its a kind of a safety net, otherwise I'd just go nuts. I hate computer, mobile and such devices, at least once a year. Always.
I think I'm ready now.

FORMER world welterweight champion John H Stracey will be the special guest at a boxing dinner in the area later this month.
Stracey, who ruled the 10st 7lb division from 1975 to 1976, is the star attraction booked for an evening of top class amateur boxing hosted by Palace ABC at Rhyl Rugby Sports and Social Club on January 25.
Born in Bethnal Green on September 22, 1950, John represented Great Britain in the 1968 Olympics before turning professional in 1969.
In a nine-year stint as a pro, he won 45 of his 51 contests (39 inside the distance), losing just five and drawing one.
Stracey won the British welterweight title in 1973, stopping Bobby Arthur in four rounds, thus avenging a seventh-round disqualification defeat eight months earlier.
Eleven months later John Hlifted the European crown, halting Roger Menetrey in eight rounds in Paris.
He defended the title once before challenging the mighty Mexican Jose Napoles for the world belt in Mexico City on December 6, 1975.
Napoles was a strong favourite but the boy from Bethnal Green turned in a career-best performance to stop the South American inside six rounds.
John H defended once against Hedgemon Lewis, beating him in 10 rounds at W embley, before losing his title on home soil against the great Carlos Palomino. Stracey put up a cracking display before being stopped in the 12th round.
After losing inside the distance against future European welterweight1 champion Dave Boy Green in 1977, Stracey retired soon after.
These days the charismatic Stracey is in much demand as an after dinner speaker and is particularly renowned for his good singing voice which has earned him work on cruise ships.
The January 25 show will feature the cream of local boxing talent. Tickets are #25 from Barry Guy on 01745 345089 or Jimmy Evans on 344847.

Digital Painting: Ninja Power!
Some of my best ideas come to me either when I'm asleep, about to fall asleep, or just woke up, and this week I decided I needed a personalized ninja character. Not only do I have sort of a fascination with ninjas but if there was anything I could be….it'd be a ninja.
The process I took with this project is something I've done before with my clothing designs (I'll share those in a bit) with sketching first, scanning in the design, and then painting it digitally but this time I wanted to make a character but it had to represent me. I incorporated everything about myself from my favorite color: baby blue, to the fact that I like diamonds, and even my eye color and I needed to have a sword of course. I'm really enjoying this whole digital painting thing, I'm even considering taking this character and making a few more sketches and paintings of her. It was so much fun and I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out!
My challenge to you this week is to sketch up your own ninja, add your own flare too it and send it in!
Go ahead…
The world is your canvas, go out and create.
– Ari

Review by Alan Holloway
It's a sad day for music when one of the most talented vocalists around decides to lay his recording career to rest, but that's the case with Brian Howe, a man so much more than the label "former singer for Bad Company" ever suggests. Owner of one of the most soulful rock voices to come out of the UK, he can hold his head high against the likes of Paul Rodgers, Danny Bowes and Glenn Hughes. With this five track EP he has decided to give fans a personal, intimate goodbye, with no record companies involved.
It's no secret that I am a massive fan of Howe's vocals, from the time he revitalised a flagging Bad Company to his solo work, he imbues every song with a passion and emotion that gets deep into your being. "Emotions", then, is the perfect title for his final release, with the songs very much on the mellow side, each dripping with, well, emotion. "I'm Still There" and "Runaway Train" have a bit more pace, but you'd have to have a heart of stone not to listen to the closing track "Christmas" and not feel something. Any of the songs here would have been welcome on Howe's last full album "Circus Bar", which was my album of the year for 2010 (and still gets played at least once a week). Vocally, Howe is as perfect as ever, balancing power with subtle nuance, lifting each song that little bit higher than another vocalist might have done.
If you've ever enjoyed one of the 7 albums Howe has been involved in (a shockingly low number, really) then you owe it to him, and yourself, to download this (from iTunes) and enjoy the swansong of a true Voice Of Rock. Hey, if enough of you do it he might just be persuaded it's all worth doing again.

Search Index Rules Syntax
When creating a rule that references a URL path, such as http://servername/Area, you must replace any spaces and special characters (ampersands, apostrophes, commas, etc.) with the proper URL encoding (%20, %26, %2C, etc.). Otherwise, the MSSearch process will ignore the rule and continue evaluating results against valid rules.
Also, remember that the order of the rules is important. If you are trying to exclude the above URL, the Portal_Content index will have a default inclusion rule of http://servername/; any new rules you create will be processed after this rule is satisfied. Since the default rule includes all content, any antecedent rules will be ignored. To address this issue, simply move your exclusions to precede the blanket inclusion and the search service will properly exclude the specified content source.

Extreme SharePoint Design: 'Go Back To [Area/Site]' Link
There's just one problem: when accessing these pages, users often get lost with no way to return to where they came from. Nothing is more frustrating than finding yourself seven steps into a wizard with no way to bail out but to smack the 'Back' button repeatedly. The solution is a 'Go Back To [Area/Site]' link at the top of each administration page which gives the user one-click access to the place they started from.
Insert the following code into AlternateHeader.aspx or directly into your administration pages just after the PageHeader section (if you're using heavily customized Site Definitions as I often do, most of your admin pages will have header code in them to overwrite AlternateHeader and PortalHeader; just paste the following code into the appropriate section and format it as needed):
Response.Write ("Go Back to " + SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context).Title + "");
{Response.Write ("Portal Administration Page");
The 'try' block creates a link back to the root of the referring area/site using the title field as the link text. The 'catch' block writes out a general statement that you can replace with anything you like, just in case the link fails to render properly.
NOTE: In 'Extreme SharePoint Design: Creating Custom User Menus', I used the same function to replicate the behavior of the 'Home' button on WSS sites. Use SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context) anytime you want to refer to the root URL of an area or site; use SPControl.GetContextSite(Context) to reference the site collection the current site belongs to.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that you'll need to insert the following code at the top of alternateheader.aspx in order for SharePoint to parse inline code blocks on the page (otherwise you will receive the dreaded 'External component has thrown an exception' error):
<%@ Page language="C#" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="SharePoint" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=188.8.131.52, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>

New SharePoint Features
- RSS. Everything about sites, lists, libraries, etc., can be syndicated via RSS automatically.
Blogs and Wikis. Templates and features in the box.
Excellent. This will save a great deal of frustration with email-based alerts.
- Content Types. These aren't just like SPS 2001's document profiles. They define sets of metadata, but they also contain view information. And associated workflows. And events bound to them (synchronous or asynchronous). And you can have more than one in the same list/library.
Hmm...not sure. Will this help with the problem of retrieving views via web services?
- Workflow. Windows Workflow Foundation is embedded in WSS. It's used everywhere.
I want to jump up and shout for joy...BUT...if they don't include a visual designer embedded into the UI ala Nintex SmartLibrary then they will have completely missed the boat. LOB managers, content editors, and designers cannot AND WILL NOT be forced to rely upon developers to create workflows.
- Recycle Bin. We did it. It's scoped to a site and captures deleted documents, items, etc. It has a user restore and an administrative restore.
Now that deserves a jump and a shout (assuming, of course, that it applies to SPS as well).
- Per-item security. Even on list items.
I can die happy now. Is it really true? Oh, please, let it be so!
- FrontPage has evolved into a feature set that makes it truly a SharePoint site designer. (Ghosting's still around, but it won't be a problem anymore. I'll explain why in an upcoming post.
Interesting. This could make the job of customization a bit easier, which would make my life a much better place.
- Forms services in Office "12" servers. That's right — design a form in the InfoPath rich client, publish it as a SharePoint site, and it can be either viewed/filled out in the full smart client or in a browser as HTML.
One word: S-W-E-E-T!
- Search. Better APIs. Better results. Alternate search suggestions (misspelled words,etc.). A highly customizable default Web-based UI.
I'm definitely excited about this. Search is a bit of a blessing and a curse, so any improvement will be welcome.
- Office "12" servers will also contain a Business Data Catalog, a facility that registers LOB application data and Web services. Once that's happened, BDC-aware Web Parts can pull data from them, we can index them, and a lot more. There's a session on this tomorrow.
Not sure about this one. Sounds interesting, though.
- Office "12" servers will also be able to take a spreadsheet published to a SharePoint site and reneer it as an HTML application.
Like it but not sure how useful that will be...
- Mobile views of SharePoint lists. That's right, a way to render a list on a mobile device.
Very nice.
- Lists now have a Business Data type that will use the aforemntioned Business Data Catalog
Unsure on this one. Need more info.
- Access will be able to treat SharePoint site data as fulll-blown data sources.
Yeah, baby!
All in all, it sounds promising. So, looking back, how'd they do with regards to my various predictions, rants and ravings? Not bad, I'd say.

Extreme SharePoint Design: Modifying The 'Grouped By' Headers
<GroupByHeader> <![CDATA[
 <GetVar Name="GroupByLevelString"/> <![CDATA[">
 <Switch> <Expr><GetVar Name="GroupByIndent"/></Expr> <Case Value="0">  <![CDATA[ class="ms-gb" ]]>  </Case> <Default>  <![CDATA[ class="ms-gb2" ]]>  </Default> </Switch> <![CDATA[> <GetVar Name="GroupByIndent"/> <![CDATA[> <GetVar Name="GroupByLevelString"/> <![CDATA[','img_]]> <GetVar Name="GroupByLevelString"/> <![CDATA[');return false;"> <GetVar Name="GroupByLevelString"/> <![CDATA[" src="/_layouts/images/minus.gif" alt="]]> Expand/Collapse <![CDATA[" border="0"> ]]> <GetVar Name="GroupByField" HTMLEncode="TRUE" /> <![CDATA[ : ]]> <GetVar Name="GroupByValue"/> <![CDATA[

]]> </GroupByHeader>
Remove the field label and colon by deleting or commenting out the following code from this section:
<GetVar Name="GroupByField" HTMLEncode="TRUE" /> <![CDATA[ : ]]>
You may also wish to change the drab gray style by modifying ms-gb and ms-gb2 or assigning a class in a custom style sheet.
Once you're finished editing the file, save it and reset IIS. Note that this is a global change that will affect all lists in the definition. For localized changes, create a Data View Web Part and modify the XSL accordingly.
Compiling Locally Without SharePoint Installed
The dependency 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Security' could not be found.
The dependency 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Dsp' could not be found.
The dependency 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Library' could not be found.
To circumvent this issue, extract the underlying DLL's from the GAC and copy them to your local machine. You'll need to perform the copy from the command prompt as Windows Explorer does not expose the full directory structure for the GAC. Each DLL resides in a directory with a path similar to the following:
c:/windows/assembly/gac/[Strong Name]/[Version Number]__[Public Key]/[Strong Name].dll
Once you have the DLL's you can include them as a reference in your project and compile without errors.

Floral Headband - Crown and Glory
This evening i'm out in London with my brother, we'll most likely spend our evening people watching whilst sipping frozen margs but we are also going to a gig!
Gone are the days 10 years ago when a staple gig outfit was black skirt, tights and some sort of band tee but as my outfit is looking a bit summery I decided to throw in a black floral headband from Crown and Glory.
Mandatory black - check!
(Also making her debut appearance is little Elwood, my mouthy cat)

Freedom of Expression is the best weapon against fascism and is equally its first victim.
Those vested in curbing freedom of expression do so from such political motivations.
Geert Wilders are one of the Churchills of today.
By Baron Bodissey - The International Free Press Society
PRESS RELEASE International Free Press Society and Geert Wilders Call for An International First Amendment And Ban On All Hate Speech Laws
Washington DC — On Friday, February 27, 2009, Dutch Member of Parliament Geert Wilders, founder and floor leader of the Freedom Party (PVV), and the International Free Press Society (IFPS), in conjunction with the Center for Security Policy, will discuss recent attacks on free speech worldwide, especially the recent legal actions against Wilders and other political leaders and journalists.
The International Free Press Society will announce a global initiative to protect free speech from laws that criminalize any criticisms of Islam or the doctrines of Shariah.
The event will include a screening of Fitna, the controversial film which includes quotations from the Koran, documentary footage of Islamic leaders inciting violence (jihad) based on those quotations, and documentary footage of jihadist violence. The film can be viewed on the Internet here.
Mr. Wilders will discuss his efforts to show Fitna and to rally support for free speech and the right to criticize Islam.
Frank Gaffney, President of the Center for Security Policy, will discuss the dangers to America's national security and civil liberties imposed by global oppression of free speech. CSP recently hosted a conference in London entitled "Free Speech, Jihad and the Future of Western Civilization." Selected speeches from that conference can be found here.
Concerning recent attacks on free speech, Gaffney said: "The insinuation of Shariah legal codes and practices into Free World societies includes the effort to impose Shariah blasphemy, slander and libel laws in the West. According to Shariah, it is impermissible to engage in speech or writings that 'defame' Islam or otherwise offend its followers. We must oppose all these efforts."
Lars Hedegaard, President of the International Free Press Society, will introduce Mr. Wilders and outline the IFPS 2009 campaign to ban hate speech laws and to work for an "International First Amendment." Hedegaard said:
The hate speech and blasphemy laws that are now common in many European countries lack clarity as to precisely what they aim to criminalize. Recent experience with their implementation further shows that they are unequally applied. This state of affairs is intolerable and the IFPS must therefore demand that all such laws be repealed. The way to deal with controversial, offensive or even hateful statements — unless they are directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action — is to expose them to public debate and criticism.
M.P. Geert Wilders lives under 24 hour police protection. Following Fitna's release online in March 2008, al-Qaeda issued a fatwa calling for Wilders' murder. Wilders also currently faces prosecution in Holland for alleged "incitement to hatred and discrimination." Wilders called the Dutch Court of Appeals' decision to prosecute him an attack on freedom of expression. "Participation in the public debate has become a dangerous activity. If you give your opinion, you risk being prosecuted," he said.
Mr. Wilders was recently arrested and deported from England, where he had traveled on the invitation of members of the House of Lords to speak and show the film. He is visiting New York, Boston and Washington DC this week, meeting with private organizations, political leaders and journalists to encourage their support for the campaign to protect free speech worldwide.
An extended question and answer session with all three speakers will follow their presentations.
Geert Wilders speaks in New York the 24th of February

Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state. (Thomas Jefferson)
Don't forGeert Wilders!
Stop talking, start acting.
Isn't Geert's freedom worth a stamp? And yours?
If Geert Wilders falls, then Freedom of speech is dead in western countries. We are launching an extensive International Action SITA including two possible texts ; one comparing Wilders and Winston Churchill and another Wilders and Charlie Chaplin:
Wilders/Winston: http://tinyurl.com/CBBMQ6
Wilders/Charlie: http://tinyurl.com/CooXBH
To support Geert Wilders and our dearly acquired freedoms please participate to the 2 suggested actions and transmit this message to your friends owners of a website in order they publish it.
An other way to support Geert Wilders is to give some money. To donate: http://www.geertwilders.nl
SITA action in support to Geert Wilders, report N°2 (25/02/2009)
It's already one month ago (21/01-->25/02) we have been launching an international SITA action in support to Geert Wilders the "Voltaire" of four time.
The beginning success with 2 large peaks of 400 views(01/26/09) then 300(02/07/09) is confirmed with presently more than 3000 views..
Still better, our SITA websites (coranix.org and SITAmnesty.wordpress.com) have been visited by Dutch Ministery of Justice: http://tinyurl.com/agl2kn
It's clearly the proof SITA mails are disturbing Dutch authorities. So much better it's our aim.
Let's forget peaks, from now on we must keep on sending from time to time (once a week or month) a SITA mail in order the dhimmis from Amsterdam receive every day one or two letters, not necessaryly an amount. Think about the drop of water falling regularly at the same place and capable to make a hole in the hardest rock.
For example you could send a SITA mail every month at the date of you birthday so it would be an almost random process. A little effort from every one and a great success for all of us. Let's maintain the pressure.

The Beauty Is (Reprise) lyrics
The Beauty Is (Reprise) Song Lyrics
MARGARET (spoken)
When Clara was twelve, we rented a Shetland
party for her birthday. She and her friends were
leading the pony around, and I turned to get
the phone, and when I turned back, the pony
kicked her.
She fell
It seemed to take forever for her to fall
You know in those moments
When momentuous things happen
So slowly
I reach
Like these paintings in the old tradition
There's a figure reaching out in them like so
And to me it is the most familiar tableau
I know
So much wanting something
So much reaching for it
So much wishing just to have one moment back
So much being patient
So much blind acceptance
I know
No, I don't know
A mother here in Italy
A mother here alone
I thought if I had a child
I would take such care of her
So much reaching for it
So much holding breath and keeping fingers crossed
Watching over my
My little lost
If I could
Then I would paint it over
I would be there and I wouldn't turn away
If I only had a chance to not turn away
And the beauty is
And the beauty is
The beauty is

Recommendation letters are my fave! This is preproofread because I just wanted to post it!
Love me some Elle Gunn!
To whom it may concern:
"As a man thinketh, so is he." As a bright-eyed first year teacher, I had that up on my wall and
believed it with all of my heart. People told me that students would jade me but I plowed through
confident in that belief. Elizabeth Lee Gunn (Elle) is the reason I am not jaded. Elle struggled
with math before her sophomore year of high school. She walked into my class at Crossroads Christian Academy and owned that truth. I will never forget confirming the 99 she earned in
Geometry 2nd quarter. Elle inspires me to keep on believing.
The enchantment doesn't stop there. Elle left Panama and spent a year Stateside for 11th grade. She was at a public high school in ennessee. The school has a magnet program for the Arts and Elle was able to thrive in her academics and pursue her passion for music. Watch the
school's final choral concert and find a bright-haired soprano blending the music's melody perfectly on pitch.
In this 12th grade year Elle has returned home and is finishing her senior year strong. In her spare time she sings for our chapel band, plays shooting guard for the Lady Eagles basketball team, and as a personal favorite, she leads Bible study on Wednesdays for a group of younger girls in the community. When asking Elle why she decided to initiate this last activity her answer was a story about an older girl (Carla) who invested in her life. Elle realizes the impact that
Carla had on her life and decided to pay it forward.
There is much more to be said about Elle, the bragging could go on for days. I will park the Elle fan bus at the Gunn household. When students posses great character and strong belief in their
savior, usually the common denominator is a solid home. Mr. and Mrs. Gunn (both Wheaton Alumni) are pillars for their 5 children. Elle longs to hang out with them more than her friends. Wheaton College would be lucky to have this legacy. Elle has dreamed about this her whole life
and in my humble, biased, opinion I believe she deserves it!

The Tax Management Transfer Pricing Report ™ provides news and analysis on U.S. and international governments' tax policies regarding intercompany transfer pricing.
By Robert S. Chase, II, Esq., and William R. Pauls, Esq.
Sutherland, Washington, DC
On January 30, Treasury and the IRS issued proposed regulations relating to the proper filing of gain recognition agreements (GRAs) and other related compliance obligations (the Proposed Regulations). As a general matter, a U.S. person that is a 5% or greater shareholder of a corporation is required to file a GRA with the IRS on the transfer of the corporation's stock to a foreign corporation or as a result of certain asset transfers by the corporation, and the GRA must include information on the basis and fair market value of the property transferred. Historically, many taxpayers have filed GRAs indicating that this information is "available upon request." The Proposed Regulations treat a GRA filed with "available upon request" statements as a "willful failure" to comply with the GRA requirements and, as a result, subject the taxpayer to full gain recognition on the transfer as well as potential penalties.
An IRS Industry Director Directive from July 2010 (the Directive) provides relief to taxpayers that timely filed GRAs but did not provide basis or fair market value information as required under the current regulations or otherwise did not satisfy a reasonable cause standard. However, the Directive is effective only until "further notice." With the issuance of the Proposed Regulations, which do not provide relief for such filings, taxpayers that have filed GRAs that state that basis and fair market value information is "available on request" should consider availing themselves of the Directive as soon as possible.
In brief, the Proposed Regulations address or amend the current rules and practice primarily by:
Modified GRA Filing Requirements
The Proposed Regulations modify and clarify the existing GRA filing requirements under §367(a) by explaining what constitutes a failure to comply with the GRA rules and what procedures are available for a taxpayer to obtain relief for a failure to comply.
Under the current regulations, a taxpayer that fails to satisfy all of the GRA requirements may not be required to recognize the realized gain on an outbound transfer if the taxpayer can demonstrate that the failure was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. Moreover, the Directive provides that a taxpayer that cannot satisfy the reasonable cause standard may seek relief if the taxpayer files a complete and accurate GRA, extends the statute of limitations with respect to the gain for three years from the date that the accurate GRA is filed, and files an amended return for the year in which the failure occurred.
The Proposed Regulations relax the reasonable cause standard and provide that taxpayers can obtain relief so long as the failure is not willful. Willfulness in this context would be determined consistently with other civil penalties (e.g., cases of gross negligence, reckless disregard, or willful neglect). In this regard, Treasury and the IRS stated that they believe that the existing reasonable cause standard prevents many taxpayers from obtaining relief for unintentional failures. Notably, however, a GRA that provides that information is "available upon request" is not considered to be complete in all material respects under the Proposed Regulations and is considered to be a "willful failure" that is not eligible for relief.
In determining whether there has been a failure to comply, the Proposed Regulations clarify that a GRA is "timely filed" when it, along with all necessary documentation, is filed with the taxpayer's timely filed return for the year of the transfer and is completed in all material respects. The Proposed Regulations contain examples illustrating the meaning of "completed in all material respects."
In order to obtain relief for failing to comply with the GRA requirements, the Proposed Regulations provide that a taxpayer must file an amended return for the tax year with respect to which the failure is relevant that includes the information that otherwise should have been included if there was no failure. Furthermore, the Proposed Regulations require the taxpayer seeking relief to file the amended return promptly upon becoming aware of the failure. The taxpayer also must include a written statement explaining the reason for the failure to comply and file a Form 8838 (Consent to Extend the Time to Assess Tax Under Section 367 - Gain Recognition Agreement) extending the period of limitations on assessment. These requirements are very similar to those set forth in the Directive.
Under the current regulations, when a taxpayer files a request for relief, the request is deemed to satisfy the requirements for establishing reasonable cause if the IRS does not respond to the request within 120 days. The Proposed Regulations eliminate the 120-day period for the IRS to respond to requests for relief.
Coordinating Section 367(a) and Section 6038B
The Proposed Regulations also address the relationship between the GRA filing requirements under §367(a) and the reporting requirements under §6038B.
The Proposed Regulations would require taxpayers that otherwise file GRAs with respect to outbound transfers of stock or securities to file Forms 926 (Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation) with respect to those transfers. Previously, a taxpayer that made an outbound transfer of stock or securities and properly filed a GRA was not required to file a Form 926 for that transfer. Under the new requirement, however, only Parts I and II of Form 926 are required to be completed if a GRA is filed with respect to the transfer.
In addition, the Proposed Regulations clarify that, when a taxpayer fails to file a proper GRA or an annual certification, or when a taxpayer fails to comply with the GRA rules in any material respect, the taxpayer not only may be required to recognize gain under §367(a), but also may be subject to penalties under §6038B. Notably, the current standards under §§367(a) and 6038B are different. Specifically, the consequences for failing to comply under §367(a) are conditioned on willfulness, while the penalties under §6038B for failing to comply are based on a reasonable cause standard. Under the Proposed Regulations, a failure to comply has the same meaning for purposes of the GRA rules under §367(a) and the regulations under §6038B; however, the current reasonable cause standard continues to apply to U.S. transferors seeking relief from the §6038B penalty.
Modified Reporting Requirements Under Section 367(e)(2)
As a general matter, §367(e)(2) conditions nonrecognition treatment for complete liquidations of subsidiaries into foreign corporations on compliance with certain reporting requirements described in the regulations promulgated under that provision. Consistent with the changes made by the Proposed Regulations with respect to transfers subject to §367(a), the Proposed Regulations apply the same standards and procedures for relief to the filings required under §367(e)(2). In addition, the Proposed Regulations clarify that the information that must be reported for liquidating distributions of property that are subject to §367(e)(2) includes the fair market value and basis of the distributed property.
Changes to Other Filing Requirements
As a final matter, the Proposed Regulations also address certain other filing requirements under Regs. §1.367(a)-3. In this regard, the Proposed Regulations clarify that the same standards and procedures for relief with respect to GRAs apply to those statements as well.

Host a Letter/E-mail Writing Party
Letter or e-mail writing is an effective conservation tool. It helps get the word out to newspapers, politicians and other Canadians, raising awareness and bringing attention to the many issues we face on the coast. But why write just one letter when you can host a letter writing party? Getting together with a group of friends to write letters is fun, educational and encourages more people to contribute their accounts and opinions of what is happening on the coast.
Many have asked us if letters actually make a difference. Please believe us that they do! Not only do many individuals report getting back responses from B.C. officials, the media outlets you include notice how many people are sending messages. It may feel like a small action, but each letter adds up.
Once you've got a group together, discuss next steps, for example, meeting with with your MLA or MP (click here to find government contact info). Your elected representatives are available to hear your views, and are likely to benefit from the information you can share with them about wildlife and conservation issues in the Great Bear. Get yourself up to speed by reading through our Conservation Priorities, Our Initiatives, News and Campaign pages for information on the issues we are working on. Once you have scheduled a meeting with your elected representative, you can schedule a call with us beforehand by using the form on our Connect with Us page, or email email@example.com.
Where to Start
Find a location: Whether it's your living room, a community center, a coffee shop, or the local pub, any space to meet, talk and write will suffice.
Contact your friends: Phone your friends, send out a group email, bring it up as a suggestion next time you're with a bunch of people, or post it on a notice board, online or in the local coffee shop. A lot of people might not jump at the idea of a letter writing party, so cast it as a social event, involve some food or drink (or both) and casually bring up talking points instead of trying to have a classroom like discussion.
Bring up talking points: There are so many environmental issues facing us that it is easy to become overwhelmed. When facilitating a discussion, bring up talking points and encourage creative brainstorming and sharing. The easiest way to get into a topic is to have an engaging conversation about it. Remember, an effective letter is personalized, short and concise (usually less than 150 words), and gets the point across in the first few sentences.
Send the Letters: The letters should be sent to politicians, to pressure them into making the right decisions and to keep them informed as to which issues are important to you. They should also be sent to newspapers as letters to the editor. Personal accounts and interpretations of current events are what newspaper editors rely on to inform their editorial sections, and the editorial section is often the first page politicians turn to.

|Half-sized pie with a dinner fork for comparison
I love to bake, and we're trying to eat healthier. I know, I know. I don't want to give up baking treats altogether, so I'm trying something new: half-sized baking.
I ordered a few half-sized baking pans from Amazon. You can use your normal recipes with them; just halve (and possibly reduce the baking time). So far I've tried out the pie pan. It's so cute, and just right for the four of us.
If you're thinking of getting half-sized pans, don't go by diameter or side measurement. Instead, go by area (for round or square pans) or volume (for bundt and angel food pans—usually the description lists how many cups these hold). You may have to do a little math: remember πr2?
Here is a list of the half-sized pans that I'm working on collecting:
Half-sized (7") pie dish
Half-sized angel food cake pan
Half-sized (6") square cake pan
Half-sized bundt pan
|Half-sized pie next to a full-sized pie pan
I really like the idea of serving dessert and then just having it gone. I used to bake in huge quantities because it seemed more efficient, but it just tempts us to eat more than we should. From now on, if I make five dozen cookies, we're giving four dozen away!

What is the difference between your product and PowerPivot?ReplyDelete
Hi 'Anonymous',ReplyDelete
There are quite a few. Here's a sample:
1. Our product (Prism) does not require as much hardware as PowerPivot does to handle large data sets
2. Prism has much more data integration capabilities than PowerPivot
3. Prism allows advanced multidimensional analysis without coding or OLAP
4. Prism makes it much easier for workgroups to work together on the same data and does not require replicas of the data to be placed on each computer in order for multiple users to work on it
5. Prism does not require SharePoint and SQL Server 2008 R2 for sharing
But like I always say, the best way to compare is to do it yourself. You can download a trial here:

Great criteria. Based on this criteria, the BI products sold by Information Builders seem to satisfy these requirements. An organically developed BI tool (WebFOCUS) that also integrates with an organically developed integration suite (iWay software) that can access any data anywhere in the enterprise. It can access operational and/or staged data. It can easily scale without requiring significant hardware investments as the number of users grow. If it is used to develop self service applictions, the TCO falls as each user accesses the application.ReplyDelete
Not many BI vendors can make that claim.
Thanks for your comment.ReplyDelete
I have to say, however, that my experience with Information Builders software, they cannot make this claim either :-)
- AnonymousFebruary 15, 2011 at 10:33 AM
I'd be interested to hear about your experience with Information Builders products. We use it to access both legacy operational data and information in our data warehouse. We use their ETL product to populate the data warehouse. We allow users that need up to the minute information to access they legacy data while everyone else accesses the warehouse. We originally had 200 users and have recently expanded this to 5000 users. This was done with a self service application which meant little to no training for the users and further reducing the TCO for our company.ReplyDelete
One business unit purchase another BI tool solely because they won the 'beauty contest'. Once we got it in house, we realized we needed a hardware upgrade and professional services to roll out the app. This was because they underestimated the resources needed to roll this out to more users. We gave them access to our WebFOCUS application and they are happy.
I agree with your point about finding a complete solution, not just pretty visualization. The WebFOCUS Proof of Concept using our data proved it could deliver the kind of content needed for our organization with far less training than the other vendor. The other Proof of Concept had more sizzle but did not return the answer sets needed to help us make businees decisions.
I will give you that IB provide a complete solutions, as do IBM, SAP and others.ReplyDelete
I am not a fan of IB products, much to the same extent that I am not fan of IBM or SAP products. I envision BI far more flexible, dynamic and agile. These companies are too old, they use old design patterns that rely on ancient technology.
And don't get me started about the cost of implementing one of those monsters. :)
- AnonymousFebruary 15, 2011 at 11:27 AM
Touche'! I like the decision we made with our BI vendor choice. I wish you much success with your product. There is enough demand, room and need for everyone.ReplyDelete
I look forward to coming back and reading your blog as I have found it informative.

Ezetimibe not effective in treating NASH
the Clinical Advisor take:
Compared with placebo, ezetimibe did not perform better for reducing liver fat and improving liver histology in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), according to a study published in Hepatology.
These results are from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Elastography in Ezetimibe Verses Placebo for the Assessment of Response to Treatment in NASH (MOZART) trial.
Previous uncontrolled ultrasound studies had suggested that ezetimibe may improve hepatic steatosis, reduce serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and improve histological features of NASH. However, the results of this study indicate that ezetimibe did not significantly reduce liver fat.
The MOZART trial included 50 patients from the San Diego Integreated NAFLD Research Consortium cohort. Each participant had biopsy-proven NASH and was randomized to receive either 10mg of oral ezetimibe daily or place for 24 weeks. The primary outcome was a change in liver fat measured by MRI-PDFF in colocalized ROIs within each of the nine liver segments.
The researchers used an MRI-derived biomarker, proton density-fat fraction (MRI-PDFF), to measure reductions in liver fat. They confirmed their results by using co-localized magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and liver histology.
The researchers also measured 2- and 3-dimensional magnetic resonance elastography (2D/3D MRE)-derived reductions in liver stiffness, which provides other researchers with a new technique to use in further research.
Despite not finding a treatment for NASH, the researchers are hopeful that their new techniques can be utilized in future research. "Future studies, especially [those] that target antifibrotic mechanisms, may utilize the MRE protocol used in this trial as a proof of concept for noninvasive and quantitative assessment of treatment response," said researcher Rohit Loomba, MD, of the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine.
Ezetimibe did reduce liver fat, but it was not clinically significant.
Ezetimibe was no better than placebo at reducing liver fat or improving liver histology in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), results of the MOZART (Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Elastography in Ezetimibe Versus Placebo for the Assessment of Response to Treatment in NASH) trial showed.
"This trial ... provides compelling evidence that ezetimibe has no specific role in the treatment of NASH," Rohit Loomba, MD, division of gastroenterology and epidemiology, University of California at San Diego School of Medicine, La Jolla, Calif., and colleagues reported in Hepatology.

DRIVER cabs of locos working at Port Kembla Steelworks are now more insulated from the grunt of big horsepower diesels and the chatter of heavily loaded bogeys, thanks to lining work using kits tailored for the purpose by Pyrotek Soundguard .
The work is being done as part of maintenance services provided to Bluescope Steel by Rail Alliance partners Fluor Global Services and United Goninan.
Tests confirm that the soundproofing has made significant reductions in the sound level measured in the cabs. An added benefit is that the cabs are warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
The insulation is provided by Soundguard in the form of factory-cut kits, one for each loco type, which saves time, effort, scrap, clutter and the need for templates during installation.
The kits consist of a variety of soundproofing materials. The multilayer floor mat is made of loaded vinyl with a decoupling layer and a decorative finish. Bone-coloured acoustic foam is fitted to the ceiling and walls.
These are glued into place, after which J-sections are used to finish off the edges. A bull-nose stair tread and flat fluted track is used to hold the floor mat in place.
The complete fit-out takes under four days and causes little or no disruption to the other work in progress by the rolling stock maintenance team.

Unglued by Lysa TerKeurst
Brand new book from bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst
Humbled by the reaction to soon to be released Unglued, Lysa is full of excitement for her new book and the buzz that is building up around it.
Having just been to the International Christian Retail Show in the States, she looks back on her experiences as an unpublished newbie writer with a hope and a dream to publish her book - and look at her now, 15 books later!
Some of you may not have heard the buzz. So who is Lysa TerKeurst, and why is she so well equipped to talk about our 'sticky' emotions?
Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times Bestselling author and speaker, uses her gifts of encouragement and teaching to guide women on their walk with the Lord. Lysa is president of the Proverbs 31 Ministries who, among many other things, produce an online daily devotional with 500,000 subscribers. She spends time speaking at conferences across North America, writes a blog that is visited by 80,000 fans a month and even has time to co-host a radio programme that gets broadcast around the world.
But you'd be mistaken if you imagine a corporate, number driven speaking machine. At heart, Lysa TerKeurst is a down-to-earth mum of 5 and wife of a fast-food restaurant owner.
Yes, my mom spelled my name that way at birth. She named me after a soap opera character… and a mean one at that! …My maiden name was King which I would love to keep as my middle name; but Lysa King TerKeurst sounds a little lofty for a simple country girl."
Her family became known to the press when they made the decision to adopt two orphans from war-torn Liberia, Africa. This went on to start a chain reaction and led to other families adopting over 45 children from the same orphanage! Once the press got hold of this inspirational and heart-warming story, Lysa found herself on The Oprah Winfrey Show, USA Today newspaper and Good Morning America.
So now you know a little about Lysa and her story you can see why she is more than capable to speak on the emotional rollercoaster of life.
So what is Unglued really all about? Well, let's start with a question: Do you find yourself at the mercy of your emotions? How often do you look back on the way you reacted to a situation and hang your head in shame? But instead of repenting and moving forward, you fall straight back into the same habits time and time again.
Unglued is an honest and practical approach to using the emotions God has given you to walk with Him and develop deep and honest relationships with the ones you love.
Make wise choices in the midst of raw emotions – get emotions to work for you not against you."
Start discovering how to resolve conflict in your relationships. One of the sections in the book will help you to identify what type of reactor you are and gives wise and applicable advice on how to improve your communication which will, in turn, improve your relationships.
Unglued is a crash course to help women understand why we think the way we do, why we find ourselves getting ready to explode with frustration, anger, hurt - the whole list of emotions, and how God can help us to harness and use those emotions for His glory.
God gave us emotions to experience life, not ruin it!"
Grab a copy of Unglued. With so much experience of listening to and ministering to women of all ages and life circumstances, Lysa is well equipped to guide you on a God given path toward taming emotions that are so keen to get the better of us.
And if you're part of a women's group - and if this is an issue that has struck you or affected your group (yes sometimes it's a lot easier to face these demons together as a group, even if it's just for the solidarity in knowing you aren't the only one to despair over your rollercoaster-like emotions), you can also get a DVD study guide to go with the book. Filmed in the stunning city of Florence, Italy, let Lysa take you on a journey of discipleship as you learn and encourage one another.

Court Awards Tronox $5B to $14B
The federal bankruptcy court in New York City announced its ruling in the Tronox v. Kerr-McGee (Anadarko) matter on December 12, 2013. The matter involved an alleged fraudulent conveyance case in which Roux Associates' client (Tronox) was seeking damages from its former corporate owner (Kerr-McGee, a portion of which was then acquired by Anadarko) that would be used in part for the assessment and cleanup of about 3,000 sites across the U.S. Former site operations included:
- Wood Treating
- Uranium Mining
- Precious Metals Mining
- Uranium and Thorium Processing
- Petroleum Refining, Storage and Distribution
- Natural Gas Processing and Distribution
- Perchlorate Manufacturing
- Agricultural/Pesticide Manufacturing and Distribution
- Titanium Dioxide Production
Roux Associates opined that future cleanup costs for this portfolio of environmental legacy sites would amount to ~$1.5 billion to $1.7 billion. Roux Associates used several cost estimating methods consistent with ASTM guidance (E 2137-06, Standard Guidance for Estimating Monetary Cost and Liabilities for Environmental Matters) including "Most Likely Value" (MLV) and a Range in Values. The court used Roux Associates' lower end estimate ($1.5 billion) and rejected the opposing expert's estimate of $376M, which relied entirely on a probabilistic approach. The court ruled that Tronox was entitled to $14,166,148,000 or $5,150,490,000 plus attorneys' fees and costs to the extent appropriate.
During the course of this case, Roux Associates' prepared two expert reports and a final written direct court testimony. Neil Ram, Ph.D., LSP, CHMM, was deposed twice and was then cross examined for a full day in court. The trial lasted 34 trial days and included the testimony of 28 witnesses (14 experts) using 6,100 trial exhibits.
The court ruled that the Roux opinion "is the only comprehensive valuation in the vast record of this case" and that the opposing expert's opinion "did not purport to be a comprehensive analysis…" and was, therefore, "a major failure of proof." The court further ruled that "Ram exercised his judgment and used another approach [referring to MLV] recognized as valid by the ASTM."
The final amount within the above range is yet to be determined, and Anadarko has indicated that it plans to appeal the decision. To read the full court's ruling regarding Tronox v. Kerr-McGee (Anadarko), click below.

The Holocaust Lyrics
Artist: Vomitory
Album: Revelation Nausea
[Music & Lyrics: Rundqvist]
Silence, only silence is real
Ashes leaves a trace of something that once were
The end of a new beginning
The last and final chapter of humans' history erased
No sounds no movements
There's no evidence of existence
From threat of extermination
To a total wipe out, mankind has forever died
The holocaust
Scentless trails fills the emptiness with invisible presence
A new beginning without origin a future without hope
Emptiness and darkness surrounds everything
Voices of lost soul's the only sound
The last sign of civilisation
Like shades disguised in darkness
When their resurrection has been denied
Godless they slowly being erased
When darkness encloses the beginning
When darkness encloses the end
The end of a new beginning
The last and final chapter of humans' history erased
The holocaust
