Many have contacted Karlshamn's municipality wondering what they can do to help the asylum-seekers in Karlshamn. Therefore we have compiled some suggestions for anyone eager to help out.
Family homeAs a family home you will be taking care of a child or a young person in your own home, with support from the social services and a family home counsel. The children are generally 10-15 years old and most often boys. As a family home your main focus is to support and integrate the child into your family and into the Swedish society, as well as providing the child with stability and security. The accommodation can be short or long-termed. You need to be prepared to accommodate a child with short notice since there is currently a great need for family homes. A family home can consist of both single people and families.
As a family home you will be taking care of a child or a young person that has come to Sweden without parents, seeking asylum. The children might come from difficult circumstances or places. Personal suitability is of highest value and experience from similar tasks is qualifying, but not essential.
A family home is an assignment from the Social Commission and the assignment requires that you undergo a family home inquiry. As a family home you are expected to cooperate with social services, legal guardians and any biological relatives. The family home will be compensated for the commission.
We are looking for family homes continuously, hence no last application date. For more information or to file an application of interest, contact the family home department, vxl 0454-810 00 or 0454-817 00.
TrusteeAny adolescents under the age of 18 without a legal guardian will have a trustee appointed them from the chief guardian of the municipality. The trustee is an important person and is treated by law as a legal guardian for the adolescent. This means that whomever is trustee will make decisions concerning the adolescent and the trustee will also have the utmost responsibility for the adolescent.
If you are interested in becoming a trustee, contact the chief guardian.
Specially appointed guardiansWhen an adolescent gets a permanent residence permit, the district court will, on request from the social services, appoint them a legal guardian. The trustee should then be replaced by a specially appointed guardian.
Compensation will be paid for both commissions.

Erdogan sees 'new page' in Turkey-US ties under Trump
ISTANBUL: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan voiced confidence Friday that he and Donald Trump can open a "new page" in troubled Turkey-US ties when they meet next month, after discord over Syria and last year's failed coup.
The May summit between Erdogan and Trump, their first face-to-face encounter as heads of state, is a chance to mend a relationship between two key NATO allies that was strained by a series of disputes under former president Barack Obama.
"I believe that we will open a new page with Mr Trump in Turkey-US relations," Erdogan told the Atlantic Council Istanbul summit ahead of the May 16 meeting in the United States.
Erdogan made clear he expected a turnaround from Trump on the use of the Syrian Kurdish Peoples' Protection Units (YPG) as the chief US ally on the ground in Syria in the battle against Islamic State (IS) militants.
Read More: Trump congratulates Erdogan on referendum win
Turkey says the YPG is merely the Syrian branch of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) separatists inside Turkey, who have waged an insurgency since 1984 that has left tens of thousands dead.
"We expect our American friends to better understand the threats our country is facing and to show the solidarity that we need," said Erdogan.
'Working with terror group'
Of the US alliance with the YPG in Syria he said: "We can never accept cooperation with a terror organisation that is aiming at the lives of our people on the pretext of fighting against Daesh (IS)."
He said that "concrete support" given to the YPG by the United States in Syria was "harming the spirit of alliance and partnership".
His comments came after Turkey angered the United States this week by bombing YPG positions in Syria. There have also been successive clashes between the Turkish army and the YPG over the border in the last days.
Erdogan warned the YPG that Turkey would fire back against any assault and thwart the creation of any Kurdish state in northern Syria.
Read More: Erdogan blames 'murderer Assad' for suspected Syria chemical attack
"Are we going to leave them unanswered? We are doing what is necessary. We will take this kind of measure as long as the threats continue."
Blasting "fools" who he said were trying to form a Kurdish state in norther Syria, he said: "We will not allow the formation of such a state."
'Late but welcome'
The spat over the YPG has so far held up any plan for Turkey and the United States to work together in Syria to prise the militant de-facto capital of Raqa out of the hands of IS.
Erdogan said 2,500-5,000 IS fighters were believed to still be in Raqa. A joint operation with the United States but excluding the YPG to take Raqa "would be nothing difficult for us. We can do this together," said Erdogan.
But Erdogan praised Trump for showing a "more determined" approach than Obama against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad after the air strikes this month that followed a suspected chemical attack.
"It was late coming but something that we welcomed," he said of the US air strikes. "The Assad regime has seen for the first time in six years that there will be no silence to the massacre of innocents."
'Bodes well'
Along with the Syrian Kurds, the second main thorn in the side of Turkey-US relations is the future of Fethullah Gulen, who Ankara blamed for the failed July 15 coup and resides in a secluded Pennsylvania compound.
Ankara has pressed for the extradition of Gulen — who denies the charges — to face trial and was disappointed by the slack progress under Obama.
Erdogan said Turkey was "seriously concerned that the terrorist chief can easily go about his business," referring to Gulen.
He said that the arrest of Gulen by the United States was a "basic expectation" of Turkey.
James Jones, chairman of the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security at the Atlantic Council and former US national security advisor, said in Istanbul that he believed the relationship between the two men would be a good one.
"I am optimistic that the personal relationship on a presidential level is off to a good start. It bodes very well," he said.

An ex-soldier who keeps getting in drink-fuelled trouble – and flouting court orders – might end up behind bars, after a judge said his behaviour was out of control.
William Exton, now 20, was back in court after he swung at least six punches towards doormen at a Burnley bar and put up a "vigorous" struggle with police. He was eventually placed on his front, handcuffed and taken to the police station in a secure van after the incident on May 24th. The outburst put him in breach of a conditional discharge.
It's either going to be another chance or you are going to prison. Your behaviour is out of control.Judge
In October 2013, Exton had got a suspended sentence for affray, after a fracas at the New Black Bull, in Mill Street, Padiham. A customer was left seriously injured in the melee in September 2012. The defendant had breached the suspended term and had been convicted of being drunk and disorderly twice since.
Exton committed the string of offences while serving in the Army. His solicitor Dylan Bradshaw told Judge Beverley Lunt he had now left and she responded: "I'm not surprised."
The defendant, of Thames Avenue, Burnley, had been convicted, on June 9th by magistrates, of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, in breach of a conditional discharge, imposed by the crown court in February, last year. He had been committed for sentence by the lower court.
Judge Lunt said she wanted a probation report before she sentenced the defendant on August 25th. She said she wanted to know how Exton had done on an unpaid work order. The judge continued :" I'm not having behaviour like this." She added: "It's either going to be another chance or you are going to prison. Your behaviour is out of control. "

Horses & Old Faces
I was up from 6 AM Saturday until 4 AM Sunday. This was a long day for me. I was tired, but I had a smile on my face as I entered the land of sleep.
First up was B & R Riding Stables in good ol Prospect, CT. As this was the first time I've EVER ridden a horse I was COMPLETELY aware of the proper clothing. This was the fact for I'd say..... 80% of the people that went riding Saturday. Yea we did our research and asked the needed questions. Right. That's EXACTLY what we did.
So if I were to say that one of the XY's that went could barely stand after the hour long walk, trot, cantor, you'd understand how sarcastic I was in the last paragraph. XY riders! Listen clearly - DO NOT WEAR BOXERS WHEN RIDING A HORSE! Now that I've made myself clear... I'll continue.
The ride was great... except for the 'slapping pain'. This pain is induced when shifting into second gear - known as trotting. This hurts lots. LOTS! I found out that MOLLY - my horse - is one of the worst rides due to the way her back moves when trotting or cantoring. Yea me. Lucky me. Oww me. Fortunately for me I did enjoy the ride and I did feel more comfortable during the third cantor. It was cool... I don't think I need to do that again soon. Yup, I rode a horse. My goodness. A 14.3 hand horse. Yimminy yow.
End part one
Back to NY I go - with company. BT said he would join me and THANK ZEUS he did! A drive is just a drive. But when you drive this drive many... many... many times over it gets to be mind numbing. With him around that wasn't going to happen... the numbing that is. The drive happened obviously.
Vball was the reason for the drive back to NY and I'm very glad I made the trip back. The SLC team pulled out a victory - the first this season during one of the games. They seemingly loved the feeling and pushed hard to win the set but walked away with a 1-3 loss (best of 5). No worries though. A young team with a new coach is bound to go through struggles. Time will tell the true tale.
End part two
Back to CT! Here we go go go back back back. Why? Well firstly to drop off BT and secondly to go to my 10 year reunion! Hot diggidy! I've been stoked about going to this thing since the 5 year. Why not? Who cares if people didn't like me or know me in H.S. - that's unimportant now. All that's important is maintaining contact with people. Who knows when were why or how in the future we may need a helping hand and damnnit we all spent 4 years together so what the hey!
My arrival was apparantly quite late as there were only 4 or 5 name tags left on the table. = ) Annnnyway, I met many an old friend, many a non-old friend, and many spouses. WOW lotsa marriages. Only a few kids have been bred thus far. Not bad class-o-93. Not bad a'tall.
The evening was EVENTFUL. And this barely scrapes the surface. I had such a great time talking to everyone. The best thing of the night (in my opinion) was to hear how so many people are doing what the love! Their concern for money is not at the top of their list. This couldn't be more comforting to me. Seriously. I've been so fortunate through my life because of this philosophy and it's fantastic to hear that others are living the same way. And it was/is a GREAT number of the (sigh) 45 people that attended. Why a sigh?
Of 250+ students only 45 attended the 10 year reunion. Of the 250+ we had three of our class mates pass away. So, looking at the numbers, there should have been more in attendance but I guess the old adage that the 10 year H.S. reunion is stupid sank deeply into many minds. There were two weddings the same night. Two fun filled gatherings. I believe the weddings were for Doug Clark & Jen Gugliotti. Congrats to you both!
I believe my favorite quote from the evening was "OH MY GOD!" For some reason I changed enough so that most people that saw me didn't recognize me. HAHA! Totally rocked! I've tried to hide from people at random times in life by wearing a hat but this was even better. Hiding in the open. "Who are you?" I loved it! Now I have to figure out a way to continue doing what I'm doing so this happens again in 10 years! MWAAHAHAHAH!
I told someone about the events and their reaction was, and I quote "that is one of those stories that you dream about happening at your 10 yr." Now if I'd had a bad experience in H.S. I'd say hells yea. But I didn't. I enjoyed H.S. I liked the people I attended school with. I many not have been best of friends with everyone, but I didn't hate anyone or worse not have apathy toward them.
Enough writing, I need to... I dunno, I just need to 'verb' something. Oh wait... here's the geography of the eve: The evening went from The Hills in Waterbury, to a seedy bar, also in Waterbury, to Nicole Griffin's place.... also... in Waterbury. Then... to my bed. Ah sweet sweet sleep.
End part three - Z time. I decided to drive back to NY after rehearsal since I had rehearsal. Smart me at 4 AM. Mmm, wise one I was.

< Last week I dropped a 20 lb weight on my toe while doing dips. Wait, I dropped a 20 lb toe on my toe after I finished doing my dips actually. I dropped the weight when I was reaching for the weight... sigh. It hurt. It hurt so much that I was actually to the point of wimpering like a baby! Seriously, it hurt!
I took matters into my own hands after two days of hell though. Kerry (the trainer here at SLC) suggested that I relieve the pressure by putting a hole in my toe nail. She checked her books and then gave me the 'Okay' to press away with a heated pin. Kerry began the operation, er, began forcing a heated paper clip into my toe nail. Honestly, I began to have a freaky thought enter my mind - Hmm, if she keeps pushing this hard the clip may go through my nail and then the soft squishy stuff under it. YIPE!. So I interupted her 'Uh, Kerry, would you mind if I tried with a pin?' The process truly began.
Within 15 min I was walking again. The pin had been pushed through my toe nail in three stages. One - hey look there's a small dap of stuff coming out! WHOOOHOO! Two - Oh word, that's a decent amount. Almost there. Three...

OMG it was amazing! It literally shot up at me the moment the pin came out of the nail! Amazing! Wonderful! Relief at last! This may have been a tale to tell to only a few but I can't keep it to myself! No, not after the rediculous pain I went through. Everyone must know how to alleviate the pain should they ever drop a 20 lb weight onto their toe.forth intermittent jets of heated water and steam

Sat Sat Sat in the more-nin
It's early (ish). Okay so it's not early. The time is 1057 and I've been screwing around with the code so that all of you (read you monkeys) can only see the theme I want you to see. I'm happy now too because that is now the case. Nyah!
Something I haven't written about yet deals with the November. Sun. Warm. Pool. I will be able to experience all of these during T-day week because I'm flying down to FL for the break! MWAAAHAHAH! Totally gonna rock because of the company and the break.
Ah yes, LOTR:TTT is kickin ass! I've finally gotten through a couple weeks of comics so I was able to pick up LOTR:TTT again. Lemme say this - Gimili got the short end of the stick in the film. There should have been a mention that he killed more orcs than Legolas. That's right 42 vs 41 in Gimli's favor! Hell, he even found the answer to the ultimate question by doing so
Alright with that I'm going to get ready for rehearsal - Equus presented by New Zenith Theater.

And now for something completely different - Pain
Ok so last night I did something that was very silly of me. I dropped a 20 pound dumb-bell on my foot while doing dips. Last night it hurt. A LOT! Today... it hurts A LOT! I wish I were in a position where I could sit with my foot up, but there are too many people coming in here (academic computing) for me to just sit with my foot up while I work on laptops, etc.
So, I sit here wincing every now and then hoping for the swelling to go down. Ahh yes... silly me.
Let the lesson be learned - when doing dips with a 20lb weight make sure you have your feet wide enough so that it falls on the floor ONLY! That's enough of a thought for now. >sigh<

I finally got the 'random pic' block to work withOUT crashing the entire site. AHH! Bout time. Damn.
It's late, but I think I want to finish "Y-Last Man" - compiled book #2. Check out the book if you get a chance. Seriously good stuff. DC Comics info on Y-The Last Man

The majority of available data on phytohormone profiles and metabolism concerns vascular plants. Žižková et al. monitor the mechanisms by which two main groups of phytohormones, cytokinins and auxins, control homeostasis in cyanobacteria and algae, aquatic communities which exhibit a different metabolic modus operandi to vascular plants.
An analysis of cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase activity, tRNA-bound cytokinins, [3H]trans-zeatin and [3H]indole-3-acetic acid metabolic activity and changes in cytokinin and auxin levels during Scenedesmus obliquus growth reveals that cytokinin and auxin drive the metabolic pathways which sustain cyanobacteria and algae.

Hello everyone and Happy Halloween if you celebrate it. Halloween isn't an enormous celebration in England but judging by how the supermarkets have been marketing it this year, they obviously intend it to be! We always celebrated it in some way when my children were little, usually by spooking up the porch and having some creepy food, but trick or treating was not common. These days we get a stream of extremely cute little ones from the neighbourhood calling, so I like to make a few treats for them.
This year I made a Halloween Lumier on my my Silhouette Cam using a cut from the Silhouette store
I decided not to put coloured card in the windows, and instead used white vellum and placed a battery tea light inside, which gives that lovely orange glow. I was going to enter it into the current Cameo Spotlight challenge but left it too late.
I also made some chocolate cupcakes and iced them with fondant icing so they will be easy to carry and I stamped some cake toppers to go on them.
These will go with the treat boxes I made from one of the Papertrey Ink Favor it dies, to make hanging favours to put on a little tree that I usually use at Easter, but thought looked ghostly enough for Halloween with the help of a few skeletons.
And now I need only wait for it to go dark and for the doorbell to start ringing!
Thanks for stopping by

Heifer staff safe following Tropical Storm Agatha, eruption of volcano
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (June 1, 2010) Heifer International country staff in Guatemala and Honduras are reported to be safe in the wake of Tropical Storm Agatha, which struck the Central American countries Saturday, May 29, killing nearly 200 people and displacing tens of thousands from their homes.
Heifer staff members in Ecuador are reported safe, too, following the eruption of the Tungurahua volcano on Saturday. The eruption sent ashes and lava into surrounding villages and closed Guayaquils airport for a time. The eruption was the second in Latin America in a weekthe Pacaya volcano in Guatemala erupted Thursday killing at least two people and evacuating 1,600 villagers.
In Guatemala, Jonathan Guzmán, Heifer Guatemala country director said that Agatha caused a lot of damage and misfortune, causing mudslides, sinkholes, flooding and the destruction of many bridges and roads. Monday country staff removed sand and ash from the office in Guatemala City while others tried to visit nearby communities where Heifer is active to survey the damage.
All but one partner organization has been contacted by telephone. There are reports of lost livestock and crops in the affected areas. In the wake of Agatha and the volcanic eruption, hundreds of communities remain isolated as communication is intermittent and services such as electricity, gas and telephone are irregular.
In a preliminary report from Honduras, Marco Machado, Heifer Honduras country director, reports all staff and their families are safe but partner organizations in the south were affected by flooding. The Lempa River overflowed, affecting at least 20 villages, and a partner organization, SIMIENTE, reported the death of one man whose family participated in Heifers Integrated Farms with Gender Approach project (#23-0450-02).
Heifer began working in Guatemala in 1970, providing small livestock to families in remote rural areas that were affected by the countrys 36-year civil war. Projects promote agro-ecological practices, recover traditional knowledge and strengthen local organizations in the Petén, Huehuetenango, Alta Verapaz, El Quiché, Sololá, Chimaltenango, San Marcos and Jalapa regions.
Heifers projects in Honduras promote agro-ecology practices, promotion and access to local markets, micro-enterprise development, organizational strengthening, human nutrition and gender equity. Work is focused in the south-central and western parts of the country where most of the rural poverty is found. Most projects include a variety of resources such as dairy cattle, poultry, fish, beehives, seeds and training.
Heifer Internationals Americas team remains in communication with staff in Guatemala and Honduras.

Guest Opinion by Judson Bennett on recent Elting v. Shawe
Are American Freedoms being compromised by an omnipotent judicial system? Do arrogant judges set legal precedent that affect the American dream? Chief Chancellor Excuses Potential Fraud and Could Force a Sale of a Viable Multi-million Dollar Company? Delaware's rookie Chief Chancellor, Andre Bouchard, is casting a dark shadow over his 2-year run as the Chief Chancery Court Judge. This was evident in one of his most recent decisions where he ignored overwhelming evidence and a pattern of behavior that I wonder could border on the illegitimate? Instead, he chose to rule in favor of a single party (Elizabeth Elting) who happened to be represented by his buddy Kevin Shannon. This culminated in a decision that has the potential to ruin a company and destroy the jobs and careers of 4,000 hardworking employees worldwide, 2,300 of them in the United States, nearly 1,000 in the northeast, Read more

Cultural shift favoring cooperation, not competition, improves cybersecurity
'Lean security' stresses open communication, employee responsibility

Imagine if no one in your organization felt compelled to compete for an operating budget, and each and every employee fully understood and embraced cybersecurity best practices?
Sound like a far-fetched fantasy? A security consultancy called New Context Services actually is promoting this radically new type of corporate culture, which it calls "lean security."

An e-book outlining New Context's "Lean Security Principal of Awareness" is being prepared for release at the giant RSA cybersecurity conference in February in San Francisco.
Ben Tomhave, security architect for New Context Services, recently gave a preview at the DevOps Connect conference in Seattle. I sat down with him just before he presented. Here's a synopsis of our conversation. Text editing for clarity and length.
ThirdCertainty: Cyber exposures continue to expand, with no end in sight.
Ben Tomhave: Every time we introduce a new platform, we seem to start at square zero, and assume security eventually will come into play. Companies are creating IoT products and not thinking about doing security by default, for instance. It's not because there is a lack of security technologies, or a lack of standards, or a lack of guidance. Fundamentally it's a cultural problem. And this is where lean security comes into play.
3C: A cultural problem? In what sense?
Tomhave: Organizational culture essentially is based on a perverse incentive model. Only certain people are expected to be able to make good cybersecurity decisions, only certain pockets of an organization are even asked to be responsible for security … but the funny thing is, it's not necessarily those people I'm super concerned about.
3C: Right, IT security touches everything—marketing, sales, manufacturing, the supply chain, etc.
Tomhave: And we expect people to execute, to get things done. So if a spear phishing message purporting to be from the president targets somebody in accounting, authorizing them to transfer $15,000, it's going to get done, rather than someone picking up the phone or walking down the hall to say, 'Hey, did you actually authorize this?' That's a cultural problem.
3C: We assume somebody else is taking care of security?
Tomhave: And even as we continue rolling out new (security) technology, it's only going to perpetuate the cycle. We end up creating a larger gulf between the people who are doing risky things, who are not held responsible for their actions. And security tools are supporting this behavior. It's an enabling culture. Basically, people are handing off the responsibility and letting somebody else make the decisions for them when it comes to security, even though they're the ones who are taking the actions.
3C: So what is 'lean security' about?
Tomhave: Lean security breaks down into five principles. Awareness, execution, measurement, simplification and automation. We're not talking about awareness in the traditional sense. We're looking at creating a communication culture that allows people to say, 'Oh this is suspicious,' and not being afraid to ask questions. Also providing shared platforms for information, so people know where to go to get questions answered.
The real linchpin to all of this is a shift in the underlying cultural drivers—from internal competition to more of a cooperative model. Especially in the United States, we're constantly fighting over budgets or pointing fingers over responsibility. We've got to flip it, at least internally, to say, 'Sure, we can go compete in the marketplace, but internally we need to go to more of a cooperative model.'
3C: It's common for organizations to have a blame culture.
Tomhave: The key is to shift to what's called a generative culture. There is a lot of research that basically says, 'In a generative culture, everything is cooperative.' So it's not a situation of, 'something goes wrong. Well it's your fault. I don't have to deal with it.' But, rather, everybody gets on the same page and moves forward.
3C: It's never easy to change ingrained behaviors, as an individual or organizationally.
Tomhave: Absolutely. And that's where we're at. We've developed a general model, and we're now at the point of starting to test this out with some of our clients. We hope in 2017 to start developing some case studies. Our belief is that when you start operating more cooperatively, operational costs end up dropping, especially when you get to the later phases of simplification and automation, and security becomes an emergent property.
3C: So you're really talking about pushing responsibility for operating securely in our digital age out to every one of us.
Tomhave: Absolutely. It is a fundamental shift in how our organizations would operate. You have to switch from internal competition to cooperation. You truly, at all levels of organization, have to recognize that there's a shared responsibility.

The pavement's weakest link? I think so, a survivor from Macadam?, seems to have been around so long that we have become complacent. Before stiffness measurement, performance was a particle size distribution (PSD), frost heave, and the quite strict laying and compaction specification. I should say here to foreign visitors, wish I had some!!, that I refer to the specification for highway works. A monumental work from the UK's government engineers, a species not often seen walking on subbase, it is written to protect the client (well they write it?) and provide the tax payer with a good for value…

To those happy people leading completely fulfilled lives without the old camper; I deviate with an explanation. The logo is an old man with a very long white beard that actually looks like long blonde hair (weird), wearing a flat cap (I guess it could be a beret), chewing a flower. It has stores at several locations around France in Paris, Lyon, Sallanches and Thonon (only one left to go to now) and is populated by highly specialised nerds (like those people in record stores). Apparently it's a fun place to spend many, many very interesting hours. They also produce catalogues that provide additional hours of entertainment to those who are unable to visit the stores as regularly as they would like. Au Vieux Campeur also has a website, but it's just not the same. In short it's a disease, a mental illness. The first step is admitting it. The GM has reached that step. He realised this when he couldn't travel without his catalogue. No need for a book anymore, just take an Au Vieux Campeur catalogue with you. Another great idea is to keep old catalogues so you can compare the latest models of jackets/boots/mosquito nets with the previous models.
Day 1: We started off at Le Manoir at Oustau de Baumanière in Les Baux de Provence, a beautiful village but unfortunately now basically the whole village is a museum. May I highly recommend the lobster dish at the Oustau de Baumanière.
Day 2-3: We crossed over to Spain and stayed at the Torre Del Remei in Bolvir (right near the border). We were upgraded to a James Bond–like suite complete with circular bed and matching circular windows. The Fiat Punto was definitely a star, managing to absorb a Paella pan and a Jamón. I would also like to officially thank all those who contributed to the decoration of the Punto that saved us from a parking ticket.
Day 4: Approach Carcassone via the D11 and you get the Disneyland view of Carcassone. The Hôtel de la Cité is situated right in the old city.
Day 5: Le Vieux Logis Tremolat (Bordeaux), we dined outside under the Linden trees, whatever they are.
And it wouldn't have been a road trip if I hadn't gotten lost.
This time it really was a doozey, but I have many well-founded excuses of how this happened:
The scenery is so beautiful it's very tedious to have to look at a map all the time; I was there to see the sights not take a course in orienteering. I am out of practice from reading maps, in Malaysia they are so inaccurate, and a hangover from the war – maps can't be too accurate.
Don't name villages in France with similar names especially if they are within say, three hours drive of each other.
And finally I am a female, there is irrefutable scientific evidence that men are better at reading maps(1), we have other much more useful attributes too numerous to mention. So if you don't want to take the more scenic route read the bloody map yourself.
Day 6-7: Marais Poitevin, where we stayed in a real live chateau, the Château de Curzay
Day 8-9: Domaine des Hauts de Loire where we took a hot air balloon ride over the many chateaux at sunrise that was absolutely magical.
Day 10: Lyon - Au Vieux Campeur No. 2 (no. 1 was Paris)
We stayed at the Villa Florentine, a beautiful hotel in the old part of Lyon, even the bathroom had a fantastic view, and were taken out by the Lyon Barfly to his bar (of course).
Day 11-12: Chamonix - Au Vieux Campeur No. 3 (also close to No. 4 but sadly unable to visit due to lack of time).
We had a close encounter with hailstones the size of ice cubes; very exciting in a convertible with a large crack on the front windscreen. And where we went for a little walk. I thought we were just going for a little stroll on the ice and was quite unprepared for the 4 hour hike from Aiguille du Midi 3,843 m to Pointe Helbronner on the Italian side. I should have guessed, our guide was Mountain Man, (ex Advertising Man now Book publishing Man - Mountain books of course) infamous as the man who allegedly tried to kill the GMs petite Maman and Franck, on the same little walk (different weather conditions apparently). We had to borrow/hire all serious equipment (anything required in addition to jeans and t-shirt) and got very dirty looks from guided tours completely outfitted in brand new colour co-ordinated gear. We had to go most of the way roped to MM and wore crampons and the GM even got to carry an ice pick. It was awesome, definitely the highlight for me. We stayed at the Le Hameau Albert 1er and ate in the 2-star restaurant with MM (and his wife), who said to the sommelier 'whatever you recommend'. The GM nearly chocked on his amuse-bouche. The wine in was absolutely amazing and Spanish.
Day 13: Sestriere - Think `The Shining´ (in summer, in Italy - go on use your imagination). We stayed at the Principi di Piemonte Grand Hotel, a 100-room hotel, (I think we were the only people there) last decorated in the 70s, lots of orange and brown and fringed lampshades, just outside a deserted ski resort (well it was June), spooky.
Day 14: And finally, Nice - Fabulous darlings. Stayed at the Negresco, a pale pink Belle Époque wedding cake (with pale green piping) on the Promenade des Anglais. Think lawn green, bright yellow, hot pink and velvet in rich red and gold, furnished from the 16th century with tapestries on the walls, a royal blue carpet with golden fleur de lys and an antique 4 poster bed with a fake fur bedspread. Apparently inspired by the Kings Bedroom in Versailles.
And the weather was just perfect everywhere, the hailstorm in Chamonix was just a half hour episode.

Last week, Irish queers marched behind their own banner in the Saint Patrick's Day parade for the first time ever in New York. In the photos they look so happy. More importantly, the crowd did, too. Most of them didn't even know it was a landmark year, assumed that battle was long over if they knew about it at all.
Nevertheless, I remember how faces in the crowd were twisted with hate the first time we tried to march in 1991, and all those years afterwards. They'd spit and curse. Scream that we had our own parade. The gay parade. And that they hoped we'd all die of AIDS. Then they'd go home and dig up the phone numbers of the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization, as well as of our spokespersons, and leave death threats on our answering machines. Some of us were bashed, some attacked. Some lost jobs.
I participated because I was queer, though not particularly Irish. And watched how these activists were gradually exhausted, frustrated. Even bored by a battle that went on year after year after year. The group splintered and reformed. Friendships and relationships were strained, sometimes destroyed. The broader LGBT community abandoned the fight because the parade was ridiculous after all. An excuse for straight people to get drunk on green beer. Or ogle underage girls in skimpy costumes smeared with lipstick and twirling batons.
I heard more than once, if they don't want you, why would you want them? Irish queers took pains to explain that identity is complicated and you can have more than one at the same time. You can be Irish and queer. Irish and female. Irish and Jewish. Irish and black. Marching as out LGBT people was a way for Irish queers to assert their existence within their broader Irish community. Other queer immigrant groups understood, and fought their own battles for inclusion in similar parades.
Identity was the heart of the problem. Not just what queers deserved to do as citizens. But in fact who got to be Irish in the non-Irish world of New York. The ultraconservative Catholic parade organizers there, The Ancient Order of Hibernians, were quite clear that being gay somehow disqualified you. Ideally, you would be not just straight but safely married with a passel of kids.
There were also issues of identity within the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization where some were Irish-Americans and others recent immigrants, a little puzzled about how the hyphenated identities in America worked. Each had very different understandings of what that word Irish meant. Nevertheless, they organized around it. Like they organized around "lesbian" and "gay". Then eventually "queer."
This battle, and plenty of others wouldn't have been won without "identity" politics. I'm not sure what other kind of politics there are. There is always some aspect of "identity" uniting us. Race. Class. Nation. There are just as many dividing us, though, so that if you start pulling threads the whole thing unravels.
Abroad, I'm visibly American, but it's complicated to define my relationship to those tourists demanding ketchup or those soldiers in Iraq. I have tits and a cunt but women sometimes scream at me in the bathroom. I have a certain amount of privilege associated with this skin, but beware of the assumptions you make because of it. And as a lesbian, well… There is something we recognize in each other when we pass on the street, but sit a bunch of us down at a table and we're suddenly mute strangers.
We need to begin to think about this contradiction in coherent ways. The main argument for marriage equality was that our identity was meaningless. Lesbian and gay couples were the same as hets and deserved the same rights. Nevertheless, activists found enough in common to organize together as queers. In fact, that's the only reason they could organize at all.
I see identity as an artificial thing that takes root. It has meaning and consequences which vary from one person to another. In one person over time. Activists are lost when we begin to believe our own PR-- that these differences actually mean something specific and fixed. We end up with territorial battles like the bitter feuds between some dykes and some trans women. As if it matters what a "woman" is, when none of us are safe in the street.
The word "Muslim" has become so weighty it is almost impossible to pronounce. Some hear it as an equivalent for terrorist. For the so-called progressive left (of all races) from the U.S. to Britain and France it often seems to mean victim or saint. They denounce troublesome secular-minded Muslims as "inauthentic," "self-loathing," or even, "Islamophobic."
I'm not surprised. Despite last week's victory, it sometimes seems we've gone nuts. That we've increasingly become our own Hibernians, dividing into camps, imagining there's only one way to define things--ours. And everyone else is an enemy.

In my studied opinion, that is the case with error messages for the user that are generated by nearly(?) all software that employ a graphical user interface ("GUI"). The format of error messages has been obsolete since the advent of the World Wide Web ("the Web").
The defect is that error messages are universally written to the monitor in a form that blocks the user from copying the message to the system's clipboard.
Perhaps this was tolerable in the golden days of proprietary software when error messages commonly displayed a number that corresponded to an entry in the user manual that repeated the number and text of the message, then explained what to do if the error is encountered. If that didn't take care of the problem, there was always free tech support via a toll-free telephone number. But those days are long gone.
I strongly suspect that everyone who has made heavy use of software over the last three decades or so would agree that the trend in software user documentation quality has declined drastically over that period. With modern free and open source software in particular, the documentation is all too often downright skimpy and outdated or it doesn't exist.
(That is not to suggest that proprietary software has no documentation issues. Witness Windows 7, whose Help file provides no navigation instructions to locate the needed control, but instead provides a hyperlink to activate it. Amazingly, the Win7 Help file is itself becoming a GUI, disregarding the extra steps it takes to activate a control compared to navigating to it, if you only could learn the navigation steps. I dare say: this was a giant leap in the wrong direction.)
With the advent of ubiquitous networking and the Web, software users can often work around the absence of supporting documentation for error messages, by transcribing the precise text of the message to a Web search engine text entry field, surrounded by opening and closing quotation marks to search for the exact string. Up pops the needed information in the search results page because someone else has already raised the question and received an answer.
Unless, that is, the user has made a single transcription error with a single erroneous character whilst laboriously switching back and forth between the program's message box and the the browser's search engine page to keyboard the message's text. Then the endeavor transitions to a proofreading and correction exercise and anger over the perceived developer user-unfriendliness grows.
But the anger is often misdirected at the program developer when its target more rightfully should be the developers of a GUI toolkit, which provides the widgets from which a program is assembled, with the program developer providing further code that ties the widgets together to perform particular functions, akin to adding frosting atop a cake.
GUI toolkit run-times generate their own error messages. Should the program developer use a different widget to display error messages that are copyable, the appearance of the run-time and program error messages will near certainly differ in appearance, introducing a lack of uniformity in messaging format. And only the program's own messages would be copyable.
Too, there is that powerful force of custom: error messages have never been copyable; why should the thought of making that change ever occur to a developer? So I think this is a usability bug that needs to be repeatedly reported by software users to GUI toolkit developers until they get the message: non-copyable error messages are obsolete and a serious usability bug. Reporting the bug to program developers is a waste of time; it is the GUI toolkit developers who need to hear that message.
What's in this concept that benefits software developers?
- Ultimately, a drastically reduced technical support burden, particularly if the user troubleshooting technique of copying error message texts and searching for them on the Web is publicized in documentation.
- Developers thereby enable and encourage users to develop web pages that list error messages in numerical order, along with instructions on how to stop the message from appearing.
- Developers gain a far better excuse for not documenting error messages themselves. :-)
I encourage all software users who read this to report non-copyable error messages as a severe usability bug to the GUI toolkit developers their software depends upon. The following web search will usually produce a link to the given GUI toolkit's bug reporting system (where XXX is the name of the GUI toolkit):
Wikipedia has a helpful list of widget toolkits. And please feel free to link this article in your bug reports.
Addendum: On September 8, 2015, the version 4.0.8 release of the NoteCase Pro outliner implemented copyable content in all message boxes, in part because of this essay.

That beautiful blue and green background is inka gold?!! Wow, it is gorgeous! I only have on pot of inka gold and don't really know how to use it. Will have to watch some videos because I love what you have done with yours. I think Loll does some amazing techniques with inka gold too. This card is stunning and what a way to end the NBUS challenge! I love that die cut panel and the beautiful butterfly. This card is simply stunning. Hugs, Brenda

This is a gorgeous card! I don't know what Inca Gold is but it sure is pretty. I'm not fond of things you spread with your fingers though. I got leery after I did some stencil fun with a friend with sprays and got some spray on my hand. I immediately got a weird taste in my mouth and felt all funky. I ran to the restroom and the more I tried washing it off the weirder I felt. I woke up sicker than a dog in the morning. I think my body absorbed something from it. Now I'm a'scared of all paints, wet inks and sprays. Oh, I should note that I decided to quit dying my hair too because I always felt off and often got sick after a dye job. Apparently I'm a color wuss. Anyway.... so off topic.. love the card. I put stuff back in my desk last night with the help of many, many cats. They aren't so helpful.

My 8th grade students will be using this image when beginning the unit on becoming president. They should understand who the president is in relation to the U.S. government. In addition, they should be familiar with vocabulary such as "natural born citizen" and "residency."
When considering how to complete this image I originally thought of a table. However, after reading the chapter on selection, I came across Figure 5-3 on page 104. This image showed how the table lines can sometimes skew the focus of the learner. This helped me to design this image, by making sure to emphasize the main points of the graphic, without distraction, like a table. I also tried to focus on the 3 c's for this section. I used a blue background for the title to draw attention and concentrate the image focus. I also kept the information concise to help maintain the learners focus and emphasize the key points without distraction. I was torn about using an image or not. I find the seal of the president to be an important piece of the presidency so I wanted to incorporate it into the image. I wanted to make sure it did not distract however, like in the clock image in the text book.
I asked my fiance to review the image. He liked the simplicity of it and told me to make a few changes with centering of the title and the image overall. He also noted to fade the seal so it was less distracting, which I think was a big change.

SIP Trunking in the Enterprise
SIP Trunking is a method for businesses to obtain phone service from an ITSP (Internet Telephony Service Provider) using their internet connection. Customers sign up with their chosen provider (or ITSP) through their website and select the capacity and options they want. Customers simply insert their account credentials into their phone system in order to connect them to their new service, perform some basic Phone System configuration, and begin making/receiving phone calls, over the internet.
Why consider a SIP Trunk?
1) Cost Savings. Local and long distance dialing charges are greatly reduced by using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) delivered via SIP trunks, rather than legacy Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) via TDM trunks.
2) Flexibility. SIP trunks also allow for much greater flexibility. For example, in addition to just voice, Unified Communications (UC) can be delivered, including presence, video conferencing, file sharing and screen sharing. The benefits of a SIP trunk to today's technology far outweigh any cost savings that adding a SIP trunk or even switching all together should be seriously considered.
Important considerations
Ease of Deployment
When considering a SIPTrunk provider, such as Sangoma's SIPstation, consider how you will transition. Will you plan to purchase new end points (phones, door systems, pagers, headsets, etc.), will you work with soft phones that integrate into your unified communications system, such as Sangoma's FreePBX Phone Systems or will you add a VoIP Gateway to add analog endpoints to your SIP trunk and possibly even provide PSTN failover?
You should prioritize a provider that monitors the system in real-time and is proactive about possible issues on the network. Call access control is another important service. This technique guarantees delivery to the VoIP user at an extremely low latency.
VoIP has many benefits. Security is not one of them. Using VoIP over a public medium such as the internet does open both the Internet Telephone Service Provider (ITSP) network and the corporate network to vulnerabilities that must be properly addressed. Just as the firewall protects the data network, a Session Border Controller, is required to protect both the data and voice network when VoIP is integrated into the system.
The example shown in Figure 1 illustrates a legacy PBX on the corporate premises which has been converted to use SIP trunks rather than TDM trunks. In this example, the SIP trunks are provided by the ITSP and delivered over the internet. A Vega gateway converts between SIP and the TDM interface used by the PBX. An SBC guards against toll fraud and navigates across the firewall. It also protects the corporate network.
The ITSP protects its network with a carrier class Session Border Controller (SBC) that is designed to handle the high call volumes that the carrier will experience and provide the High Availability (HA) features required for carrier operations. The corporate network is protected by a Vega eSBC (enterprise SBC) which is sized to handle moderate call volumes. Both SBCs provide the same functionality, including prevention of toll fraud, denial of service and eavesdropping. They enable VoIP traffic to navigate firewalls and ensure interoperability between different SIP implementations.

"300" actor Rodrigo Santoro tells Omelete (via Collider) that he's "talking about" reprising the role Xerxes in Noam Murro's upcoming sequel "300: Battle of Artemisia".
"Let's see what happens. it's a long story, my friend. A long story… I think there is a little… some of his backstory. Some explanation but it will be very quick" says the actor about the extent of his role.
He admits however they are still working on a script and it has been a while since he saw a version of it. As previously revealed, the action is set simultaneously with the events of the first film, just on a different battlefield.

Lately I've gotten the blog bug and now there's actually 2 new entries that you can get to on my website www.patwilli.com and click on the "Bloggie Bit" on the menu at the top of the page; OR go directly http://www.patwilli.com/bloggie-bit.html. You will note immediately that the first entry is about practicing and playing with book arts. Designing and constructing books is exciting and opens up new avenues for drawings I may never weave.
I'm in the middle of weaving my next tapestry and enjoying weaving it--often gasping at the liberties I'm taking. But oh well, gotta get some thrills some way.
