While the numbers of aging parents living with their adult children don't quite signify a trend, there is certainly a lot more interest in the arrangement than a decade ago. Part of the reason for this doubling up of households is the economy. It's cheaper for two families to live in one home than for each to have a separate home.
I believe a significant factor for many people is that our aging parents need care and often it seems easier and cheaper to care for them in the home than to pay for caregivers to provide in-home care or to consider a move into assisted living.
Naturally these decisions aren't only made because of economics. Most of us have at least a little of the "we take care of our own" mentality. Our parents took care of us, and likely their own parents. Now it's our turn to take care of them. Also, many people are distrustful of hired caregivers, either because of horror stories spread through decades or because they've had a friend who has had a bad experience. Together, these feelings can make the idea of the parents moving into the adult children's home seem like the best solution for all involved.
While popular opinion seems to be that aging adults would jump at the chance to live with their adult children, that isn't necessarily so. Less than a third (31%) of those surveyed for a Gallup & Robinson research project on aging and quality of life said they would live with a younger family member when they could no longer live on their own. By contrast, more than half (51%) expressed willingness to have an older parent move in with them when they could no longer live on their own.
Most of us want to be independent. Children, if they are mentally and physically healthy, generally separate from their parents as soon as they are financially able to do so. They no longer want their parents laying down the rules. Adults, too, want to make their own rules. The idea of living with one's adult children, no matter how well you get along, can be disconcerting. The intimacy of shared living space can simply mean too much of a good thing.
One strong memory I have about intimacy in caregiving is that my mother-in-law, who was an intensely modest woman, didn't want any family member helping her bathe. She preferred the detachment of a "nurse" figure for her intimate care – someone who is friendly, but not too close. I'm not so sure that basic premise doesn't hold true with many elders. They want their children to visit. They want their children to do certain things to help them. But they don't want to feel that they are entirely dependent on their children. Living in the same household can be an emotional challenge, where defining one's physical and emotional space becomes as intense as teenagers wanting to show their independence.
What happens if you try it and it doesn't work?
In the AgingCare article Living With Elderly Parents: Do You Regret the Decision? I responded to the many people on the Agingcare.com forum who are living with their elders and regretting the decision to do so. The main point I addressed in the article is that people need to be very thoughtful about trying intergenerational living. If they aren't careful, they will, like many of these families, face the uncomfortable ordeal of telling their parents that the arrangement isn't working and then looking for other options. Many people end up feeling stuck. So, a clear-minded, judicious thought process before the move is necessary.
If people choose to go ahead with intergenerational living, they should mutually lay down ground rules for everything from financial issues to privacy concerns. Of course, if you are moving a dying parent or a loved one with late stage dementia into your home, the situation would be different. In that case, you may be filling a gap in care, or simply want to have your parent close for his or her last few months of life.

However, if you are looking at a long-term setup, realize that several adults living in the same home can create tension. Don't bring your parents into your home to live long-term if you are trying to fix former childhood issues by proving yourself to them. Also, think carefully about whether guilt is the underlying reason that you are asking them to move in with you, or if you are buckling under pressure from them to do so. Living together will only work if the arrangement is made for the right reasons and the personalities fit well enough that tension won't be a daily companion.
For some people, it's absolutely the right thing to do. For others, it's not good for the adult children or the elders. Only you can decide. Just give the move serious thought so you aren't stuck trying to find a way out of a bad situation.

As students know they can, and will, and must, know how to change, they become more resilient. That was underlined in an article in today's Dallas Morning News, page 1 of the Arts and Life Section. The article was by Jan Hoffman, titled "Cultivating resilience," and was originally published in the New York Times. See it at http://www.pressreader.com/usa/the-dallas-morning-news/20161011/282776356051915
The message is simple.
As students in the active Time Capsule Project schools read letters from their parents about their parental dreams for them, and then have written their own plans for the future, and then re-reading those plans the next year before writing new ones, annually modifying the old plans, they develop the ability to change. They see the ability to change. They understand it is good. They understand it is normal. The most critical component to resilience is reinforced.

Tata Power's Club Enerji organises rally to raise awareness for a plastic-free environment
Mumbai: Club Enerji, Tata Power's nationwide movement, has played a significant role in sensitising citizen on the importance of conservation of energy and natural resources. The campaign has touched upon various cities in the country and is largely led by the school students. Following the philosophy, Lok Puram Public School and Sri Harkishnan English High School in Thane, Maharashtra, organised an impactful rally in the adjoining areas to raise awareness for a greener and healthier environment. Around 90 students took to the streets to make the Club Enerji rally a resounding success.
|Students of the school prepared banners and slogans to raise awareness for a greener and healthier environment
The rally was organised by the Enviro Squad of the Conversation Club of Lok Puram Public School, Thane. The major objective of the rally was to interact with the vegetable vendors in and around Lok Upvan and sensitise them on the harmful effects of plastic. The students interacted with the vegetable vendors and persuaded them to reduce the usage of plastic bags. Moreover, the conversation was also aimed to persuade the vegetable vendors to convince the customers to use cloth bags to carry vegetables.
The rally started at 10:30am from Lok Puram School and ended at 12 noon. The rally covered area around the schools and even the local markets. The students thereafter went back to school to continue with the regular classes. Around 1000 people were sensitised during the rally.
Speaking on this initiative, Anil Sardana, MD, and CEO, Tata Power, said, "Over the past decade, Tata Power's Club Enerji has grown from a concept to being one of nation's leading campaign for conservation of energy. It is more encouraging to see that the initiative is led by the school students who aim for a greener and better future. The initiative undertaken by Lok Puram Public School is praiseworthy and reinforces our commitment towards a cleaner society. We take this opportunity to congratulate the participating students and the school along with our volunteers for a successful campaign to ensure minimal usage of plastic bags by the vegetable vendors in the region."
The Club Enerji programme has reached out to over 500 schools in India and has sensitised over 15 million citizens, who in turn have helped save more than 21 MU of electricity till date. The club also has 1,536 self-sustaining mini Club Enerjis and has won several national and international accolades.

Clinical Pakistan complete comprehensive win
Pakistan 403 (Azhar 100, Shafiq 59, Younis 55, Dilshan 3-57) and 94 for 1 (Hafeez 59*) beat Sri Lanka 239 (Sangakkara 78, Ajmal 3-45, Gul 3-78) and 257 (Paranavitana 72, Mathews 52*, Ajmal 5-68) by nine wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Pakistan were so clinical in finishing Sri Lanka off on the fourth day that you wondered if this was the same group of players that is known for losing its way in the final furlong. They remained patient and persistent even when fortune didn't favour them or even when a late partnership held them up. The pitch with variable bounce and turn did the rest for them. Pakistan began the day 76 ahead with nine wickets to take, their bowlers shared the early spoils, and then Saeed Ajmal ran through the tail - no mean feat considering their recent travails with lower orders - to register his third five-for in Tests. The fielders turned up too, diving in desperation for every ball remotely within reach and not missing a single catch, and the batsmen made short work of the 94-run target.
Pakistan attacks are reputed to be mercurial and extravagantly talented, but it is an underrated virtue that stood out today - patience. The biggest test of their patience came last afternoon when Kumar Sangakkara and Tharanga Paranavitana enjoyed good fortune with edges not going to hand, and the good deliveries turning out to be too good to take the edges. The bowlers, though, kept it tight and did not go looking for magic balls. The rewards duly came.
They were helped by Sri Lanka's failure to attempt to disrupt their rhythm by hitting out. Some help also came their way from the umpires. Sangakkara and Tillakaratne Dilshan fell lbw to decisions you couldn't be sure of, but the balance was restored a bit - so to speak - when Angelo Mathews survived a pretty adjacent call. Mathews went on to delay Pakistan with yet another impersonation of the boy on the burning deck but, as with Paranavitana's fifty, there was no sting in the innings to hurt Pakistan.
The two efforts didn't prove to be the kind of denial that has recently led to Pakistan bowling's wilting. Paranavitana did try to show some intent in the fourth over of the morning when he lofted Abdur Rehman over mid-on for four. Rehman had troubled all left-handed batsmen with his flat trajectory and accuracy, repeatedly hitting the rough outside their off stumps. Soon, though, Paranavitana saw Sangakkara walk back in disgust, and went back into his shell.
Sangakkara's reaction seemed justified. He had taken a big stride in a forward defensive when Rehman got one to turn in extravagantly and hit him half inside the line of off. Even if the umpire Tony Hill adjudicated that Sangakkara was trying to hide his bat behind the pad, the ball turned massively, had a long way to travel, and in all likelihood would have missed leg.
Pakistan now turned the screw tighter. Umar Gul gave Mahela Jayawardene a stern examination with the ball holding its line outside off. Paranavitana hung on grimly against Ajmal's turn. Runs were not even an afterthought. Their partnership added 18 in 11.3 overs. Jaywardene was sent back by a smart bit of bowling from Ajmal. The first big offbreak got Jayawardene trying extra hard to get outside the line of off. To the next delivery, Jayawardene premeditated a paddle from outside off, and Ajmal bowled the quicker offbreak that turns less, and went behind him to knock the leg stump out.
The under-pressure captain Dilshan was outside the crease when a swinging Junaid Khan delivery from round the stumps hit him in front of middle. Again, the ball was moving in and had a considerable distance to travel. In Junaid's next over, though, Mathews padded up to one that hit him just outside off and would have taken off and middle.
Mathews was lucky to survive that, but even though he and Paranavitana defended for their lives, neither got rid of close-in catchers nor did they make the bowlers change their plans. The dangerous wicket-taking delivery with their name on it was lurking around all the time. Paranavitana found his end soon after lunch when Ajmal tossed up an offbreak that finally took a healthy edge and went straight to slip.
To compound Sri Lanka's troubles, the new ball was due then and brought immediate results when Kaushal Silva top-edged Junaid. For a brief period after that Dhammika Prasad took the bowlers on and Pakistan backed off for a while. With Mathews he added 52 at four an over, but Pakistan got the chance to regroup during the tea break.
In the first over after the interval, Rehman cleaned Prasad up with an arm ball. Once again Pakistan had refused to wilt. The tail tried to steal valuable runs in the end, but Ajmal was too good for them. Mathews, who tried to farm the strike but didn't go for the big hits, remained unbeaten.
Misbah, who had made all the correct moves this match, right from the team's selection to the bowling changes, took the lead role in the huddle with what seemed like an impassioned speech. Not sure if he told Mohammad Hafeez he wanted Sunday off, but the opener came out in a positive mood with just 23 overs to go in the day. The ball still misbehaved, but after two fours in the first over and a huge six in Rangana Herath's first over, you knew Hafeez had had enough of this heat. Azhar Ali joined the fun when he lofted Dishan over long-off. All in all, it was a pretty fine way to bring up their first Test win over Sri Lanka in five years, in the anniversary week of their maiden Test victory.

There is a war being fought in Massachusetts real estate and that war is the war on dogs and cats. I'm currently working with a couple and their Golden Retriever named Olaf. They've been transplanted from California to Salem for work. They're teachers. They want to live in Salem but they'd also consider the surrounding towns of Beverly, Danvers, Lynn, Marblehead, Peabody and Swampscott. The search results, as you can see, show a lot of promising properties but the vast majority of those owners will not allow pets. Period.
This is just one anecdote in my fifteen years of dealing with landlords, tenants and buyers buying in condominium complexes. Dealing with condominium buyers or prospective tenants that own pets can be a challenge because so many roads lead to dead ends. I have to search, whittle down and sometimes even beg in order to help people like Olaf and his humans find a place to live. It's not easy and it sometimes decreases my willingness to work with these types of buyers. I'm human, right? But then you see Olaf…
I'd like to offer some advice for tenants and buyers buying in condominium complexes:
- Don't buy a Pit Bull or anything resembling a Pit Bull. Just don't.
- Don't own more than two cats. Crazy cat ladies are real and landlords look at them funny.
- Don't own exotic pets like ferrets or raccoons or pigs. Landlords won't know what to do.
- Do send pictures of your dog being cute to the real estate agent or owner. Do that first.
- Do bring your dogs with you to your showings. Even if you have to leave your dog in the car.
- Birds, snakes and spiders may be okay. Refer to refer to crazy cat lady.
I'd like to offer some advice for landlords and condominium associations:
- Always allow up to two cats in a unit. Be vigilant by stating that in the lease or by laws.
- Always ask for the pets' names. It helps when you're pounding on the door.
- Always allow dogs under twenty-five pounds. It won't be Cujo.
- Always ask the previous landlord about the pet. Was that pet clean and quiet?
- Always meet the pet. You may miss out on a great tenant if you don't allow pets.
- Please be open minded. Pets make tenants happy and you want a happy tenant.
The front lines on the war on cats and dogs is the real estate agent and too many of them, in their zeal to please their landlords or their sheer laziness, act like crypt keepers. I had a real estate agent this morning, after she had listed her unit in Pinergy, the local MLS, as "Yes w/ Restrictions – Pets Negotiable" deny Olaf because "the owner has chosen not consider having occupants with size dog of your prospective tenants." I don't think that size should matter when you take one look at a picture of Olaf which she didn't. So I'm pleading to real estate agents to have real conversations about pets with their landlords. I know that it's sometimes a tough conversation, and you never want to be blamed for any damage down the road, but you have a sober conversation with your landlords and maybe you'll find your landlord a great tenant.
By the way, I'm actively trying to help Olaf and his humans so please let me know if you have an apartment priced under $2,000 in Salem, preferably, or the Salem area that would accept cute dogs like Olaf. Thanks.

.....Squeezably CUTE!
I have so much to do, I am trying to enjoy my little munchkins, and still keep Christmas traditions going too. Here is my poem of Holiday to do's:
Keep Baby crawling away from the wood stove
Big Brother cough to cure
Green snotty noses to dry up
Presents to wrap
Cards to put together, address, and send
A few more gifts to buy
A few more gifts to make...yikes!
Cookies to bake
Home goods to put in baskets for neighbors
Plus the usual...
A house to keep clean
Laundry the size of mountains to wash
Keep dishes washed and put away
Oh, and did I mention I still haven't...
tried to get the baby to drink from a glass
been working on sounds, numbers, or geography with Truitt for quite some time
been reading with Truitt like I should be
And please, please, despite it all, please don't let me forget to...
Laugh, snuggle, giggle, and smile with my babies
be kind to my husband
and appreciate all I have this holiday season!

A Critical Analysis of "The Human Equation"
"The Human Equation" is an album by progressive metal musician Arjen Luccasen (under the stage name "Ayreon") that tells the story of a man who is confronted by his emotions while trapped in a coma. Characters personified as Agony, Fear, Love, Reason, Passion, Rage, and Pride take the man through his past experiences leading up to the accident that put him in a coma and eventually alters his perception of his life and identity. The man's wife and best friend unsuccessfully attempt to communicate with the man as they sit by his hospital bed. The story ends with the man waking up and realizing that the encounter with his emotions was purely science fiction and only a simulation of "The Human Equation," an equation that calculates human reasoning and rationale.
The story of "The Human Equation" poses the question "what is the self?" From a philosophical perspective, the album directly brings up two distinct theories to answer that question, both of which work within the context of the album but are flawed when applied to more realistic examples. For much of the album, the main character's emotions appear to take an existentialist point of view on the self. However, the story's end relates more towards the theory that the self is nothing but a shell for calculated decision making.
The theory of existentialism is initially the most obvious theory that the album presents to answer the question it poses. Using the examples found in "The Human Equation," existentialism makes sense. Before the main character went into a coma, he perceives his life to be about nothing more than success. He follows a very generic existence without meaning and he ends up in a coma after attempting suicide. However, his confrontation with his emotions changes his perspective and gives his life a new meaning. From a literal perspective, nothing in his life actually changes. He still has his wife and best friend by his side, and he still works at the same job by the album's end. The only thing that changes is his perception of life's purpose. This ties into the existentialist idea that an individual creates the purpose or meaning of life. Only after thought does the man find a reason for living, and that reason is nothing more than a change in perception. It could even be argued that the man's new reason for living is made intentionally vague in order to support the idea that the essence of life varies from person to person.
The twenty-day period of thought that the man has with his emotions during his coma can also be connected to proof of his existence. Even though the album does not explain whether the man's emotions are a figment of his imagination or simply a connection with himself during the period that the existentialist theory is presented, it can be assumed that at least some part of himself reached a state of a purpose through thought and rationale. This can be compared to Renee Descartes' theory of "I think, therefore I am." In direct contrast with the album's ending, the man's encounter with his emotions is proof of his existence within the world that the album takes place. From an existentialist perspective, the fact that the man can rationally give his life meaning is proof that he exists and that he gives his life its own essence. This is once again an example of existence proceeding essence, as well as an example that simply being able to alter perception and meaning suggests that there is no single meaning to life. If there is no specific meaning to live that is common among all individuals, then one could say that there is not a specific self past what is perceived by the individual.
Furthermore, the man's past is revealed periodically throughout "The Human Equation," as the events of the man's past are used heavily in influencing his new found purpose. This yet again ties into existentialism, but it also brings up a question that existentialism cannot answer. To use another example from the album, it is obvious that the main character of the story creates his new meaning through reflecting on his past interactions with the world. However, it was his past experiences that initially caused the man to live the life of meaningless misery that ended with a suicide attempt. Yet his perception changes when he reflects upon his actions. This brings up a dilemma. The theory of existentialism revolves around the events that a person goes through creating perception. In the case of the album's story, the man behaves far differently with each recollection of the events. As the events are happening, the man becomes suicidal, and yet his life is filled with joy after recalling those same events in his head. What has changed besides the man's perception? The events he recalled have not changed, which means that perception can change regardless of events. If that's the case, then do the events a person goes through really matter? If perception can change through nothing but thought, is there something in the thought that changes? In context with the album, it would be the emotions the man uses to recall the events. However, the difference between the album and real life is that the character in the album has a finite number of emotions that confront him. In reality, emotions are not that simple and the sheer complexity of emotions makes it difficult to understand what exactly causes perception or even rational thought.
The complexity of existentialism makes it too difficult to prove, as the theory itself can only be justified through an individual's perception of perception itself. Thankfully, "The Human Equation" provides another less complicated theory to contrast its previous existentialist perspective. The album's ending has the characters being written off as purely an experiment of a program that shares the title of the album. The human equation program simulates rational human thought. In comparison to the story of the rest of the album, that means the experiences of the man were nothing more than an experiment of existentialist thought. In comparison to the real world, this questions the science of the human body in comparison to the human mind. Can every mental thought in the human brain be traced back to the function of the human body? The differences from person to person may be nothing more than differences in DNA. Unfortunately, there really isn't a way of knowing for sure, as this once again depends on perception.
Rational thought is what connects the two aforementioned theories, and defining rational thought may be a question needed to be answered before truly defining the self. If existentialism is true, then rationality is not absolute. If that is the case, then the self is not absolute and it varies over time. If the self is purely a shell, then the self is absolute for each individual, yet still varies from person to person. If that is the case, then rational thought is purely a calculation of the events experienced by each individual shell. The most significant difference between the theories is the one is everything except a human equation, while the other is nothing but.

The Top 100 Songs of the Year (60-51)
The Howling
Within Temptation
The Heart of Everything
Unlike the two previous Within Temptation songs to appear on this list thus far, "The Howling" does not represent a drastic style change for the band. Even though Within Temptation successfully transitioned to a more accessible sound, "The Howling" still sounds like a symphonic metal song. That's not to say it sounds exactly like their old stuff, but "The Howling" is the one song from The Heart of Everything that doesn't make a full transition into accessible hard rock. For that reason, it is also the best song on The Heart of Everything. Granted, Within Temptation's new style isn't bad by any means, as both "Frozen" and "What Have You Done" made this list, but songs like "The Howling" are an example of Within Temptation at their most comfortable. There is something about the symphonic sound that compliments Sharon den Adel's voice beautiful. Her voice is powerful by itself, but "The Howling" sees the rest of the band aiding
Never Walk Alone… A Call to Arms
United Abominations
Politics has often been at the forefront of Megadeth's lyrics, so it only makes sense that Dave Mustaine continues to speak his mind on United Abominations. In that sense, Megadeth has returned to their 80s form by once again being lyrically relevant. On the other side of things, songs like "Never Walk Alone" might be an even bigger testament to the greatness of Megadeth. "Never Walk Alone" takes a break from the politically charged lyrics that make up most of United Abominations, and replaces them with a more personal side of Dave Mustaine that comes across as just as powerful and intelligent as any of Megadeth's prior political lyrics. Mustaine's guitar work is equally beautiful, as the instrumentals include some of the most melodic riffs of Megadeth's career. The combination of the beautiful lyrical content and melodic instrumentals make this one of the best love songs of 2007, as well as one of the finest songs Megadeth has recorded in the last decade. That's not to say that "Never Walk Alone" is a classic, but it is a welcome diversion from Dave Mustaine's opinionated politics that is every bit as compelling as any of Mustaine's political lyrics.
Cry of the Black Birds
Amon Amarth
With Oden on Our Side
"Cry of the Black Birds" is a much more melodic song than the usual Amon Amarth offering, at least from an instrumental stand point. There's nothing here that's particularly more complex or more unique than the many other melodic death bands of today, but Amon Amarth ranks near the top of their genre for a number of reasons. First off, Amon Amarth's vocals are brutal. Not brutal in the way that you'd normally associate with forms of death metal, but instead in a more melodic way. The vocals are kind of a controlled brutality that are deep, dark, and are perfect contrast between heaviness and melody. "Cry of the Black Birds" take advantage of that contrast even more than most Amon Amarth songs. The aforementioned melodic riff is still heavy enough to contend with some of the genre's heaviest and most brutal, but the deep vocals add a level of brutality to the song. The result is a very strong mixture of melody and brutality, thus making "Cry of the Black Birds" one of the best songs Amon Amarth has recorded yet, as well as one of the best melodic death metal songs of the year.
Breaking the Silence
For some odd reason, there's something magical that happens to power metal when you add a talented female singer to an already great sound. Firewind's "Breaking the Silence" is a case in point. Firewind's already outstanding power metal sound elevates to something even more majestic with the addition of the exceptionally talented Tara Teresa. The contrast between excessively fast and technical guitars and beautiful melodic female vocals is simply indescribable and an unparalleled sound when done right. "Breaking the Silence" contains the phenomenal guitar skills of Gus G. and combines it with the aforementioned stunning vocals of Tara Teresa. In all fairness, there isn't much to song past that, and it doesn't quite have the feel to it that one might expect from Firewind, but "Breaking the Silence" is at its best when it's a duet between Gus G's guitar and Tara's vocals. During those moments, the song shines, and it ranks among the best power metal singles of 2007.
Ghost Opera
Ghost Opera
Kamelot's combination of power and symphonic metal was done to perfection on 2004's The Black Halo. That unique sound creating one of the finest in modern metal, but it's unfortunate that the band has focused more on the symphonic aspect throughout Ghost Opera. Much like the title track and lead single, Ghost Opera wasn't a bad album by any means, but it just didn't live up the hype that the band created from the outstanding Black Halo. In fact, Ghost Opera is one of the best symphonic metal albums of 2007, just as title track is among the best singles of the year in that genre as well. For better or worse, Kamelot has transitioned into a full-fledged symphonic metal band, and the result is a song that features some truly outstanding symphonic elements. Roy Kahn's vocals are excellent as usual, and the band's varied instrumentals keep the song interesting long after the first listen. "Ghost Opera" improves on the symphonic elements band implemented on The Black Halo, and it's a fine symphonic metal song on its own, but it's hard to shake the fact that the genre-bending instrumentals and epic story of that album didn't make an appearance in 2007. Still, "Ghost Opera" is a borderline masterful offering from strictly a symphonic metal perspective, and
The Larger Bowl
Snakes and Arrows
Rush has always been a lyrically driven band. Some may not understand Neil Peart's often complicated and metaphorical lyrics, but the man has been one of the best and most intelligent lyricists rock has ever seen. "The Larger Bowl" is a contrast to Peart's usual lyrics, as they aren't any epic stories, deep metaphors, or social commentaries. Instead, "The Larger Bowl" is a much more personal Rush song. Peart's lyrics strike a perfectly balance between melancholy and beautiful, and while "The Larger Bowl" is one of the darkest songs in Rush's discography, it is also one of the most emotionally involving songs of the year. Part of Rush's greatness comes from the band's ability to change and evolve over time, and "The Larger Bowl" is an example of yet another revolution in Rush's sound. This is a far more personal and even simplistic song that the typical Rush offering, but Peart's lyrics still have layers upon layers of complexity in their most simple state. Like any Rush song. "The Larger Bowl" is an intelligent and thought provoking song, and while it happens to be one of the band's most personal to date, there is still enough to complexity in the lyrics and instrumentals to be a true Rush song.
The Hinderers
Daath's major label debut album, The Hinderers, is easily the best major label debut of the year. Although not as weird as the brilliant "Dead on the Dancefloor," nor as heavy-hitting as the outstanding "Cosmic Forge," "Subterfuge" is the perfect introduction to a metal band poised to make a big impact in the world of music. Daath's genre can best be described as "industrial death metal," which is a genre that includes very few others. In all actuality, labeling that makes them seem more unique than they actually are, as all the elements of the music have been done before. That being said, their combination of many different styles of metal music is astounding, especially when they are being played at the quality that Daath has shown they're capable of. "Subterfuge" is an excellent example of that. The song mixes exceptional death metal vocals with a strong riff that features a variety of tempo changes. No part of the song is unique, except for the song itself, if that makes sense. It's the combination of everything Daath does on this song that makes it one of their best efforts. That's what Daath does throughout the full album, as they mix industrial metal with death metal, metalcore, and even some instances of thrash metal and power metal. It's a rather unique package to listen to as a whole, and "Subterfuge" makes a great listen on its own. Daath is definitely one of the most intriguing metal bands to come along in quite a long time, and while it is certainly disappointing that their vocalist recently departed the band, they should one to watch for in the future.
The Great Cold Distance
Compared to the best of Katatonia, "July" is a fairly typical offering that is mostly unspectacular. However, much of what Katatonia has released recently has pushed the boundaries of what is possible in metal, both lyrically and musically. "July" may do that to extent of "Ghosts of the Sun," "Into the White," "My Twin," or "Deliberation," but one of Katatonia's strengths is their consistent mastery of the doom metal sound. Even Katatonia's filler compares favorably to even the best songs released in a given year, and no other band is quite like Katatonia. As has been heavily publicized, former growler Jonas Renske can no longer and must now rely on his limited range as a clean vocalist. However, Katatonia is a far more talented band than most, and they understand doom metal more than any other band this side of My Dying Bride. Even filler like "July" are far more creative and unique than the best of what many quality metal bands can produce, and Jonas Renske's clean vocals create a wonderfully depressing sound that exemplifies what both doom metal and dark art in general is all about.
Constant Motion
Dream Theater
Systematic Chaos
If instrumental complexity was the only aspect of a song that mattered, "Constant Motion" would be one of the absolute best songs of the year. At this point in Dream Theater's career, that may very well be all that matters. Unfortunately, "Constant Motion" doesn't have enough past its stunning display of instrumental talent to be praise at the same level as some of the other progressive songs released in 2007. Lyrically, the song is almost entirely insignificant, but Dream Theater is simply astonishing at doing what they do best. Each of the 5 members are masters at their respective instruments (including James LaBrie, who is one of the most underrated vocalists in metal). It's unfortunate that Dream Theater no longer appears to be attempting to break new ground or even evolve their sound at the very least. However, it's hard not to marvel at talent of Dream Theater. The instrumental complexity of "Constant Motion" is nothing short of incredible, and Dream Theater deserves praise for delivering on what they have attempted.
Hard Sun
Eddie Vedder
Into the Wild
Yes, recording a cover song for a major motion picture as the lead single for your solo album may not usually get you a high spot on an end of the year list, but Eddie Vedder's "Hard Sun" isn't your usual cover. The original "Hard Sun" was a simply beautiful ballad by Canadian artist

Last week we began what will be a continuing examination of the forthcoming U.S. Senate race of 9th District congressman Harold Ford.
In Fords case, as in that of his Democratic primary opponent, state Rep. Rosalind Kurita of Clarksville, and in those of the several Republican hopefuls now in the field, we intend to look beyond and beneath the P.R. statements, position papers, and stump platitudes for a nitty-gritty look at the candidates persona and politics.
Promise: In all instances, you will get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. No spin, no kowtowing, and no shying away from either positives or negatives.
First, the good news for Ford: Despite the widely held belief of some, mainly local, observers that Fords race will be handicapped by (1) his race; and (2) bad publicity about his uncle, state Senator John Ford, my interviews and observations statewide over the years have not borne out that concern.
In 15 years of reporting state and local politics, I have yet to hear the first disparaging comment about Ford that is race-based -- even from the kind of thinly reconstructed types one might expect that from. And as Ed Cromer, the respected editor of the Nashville-based Tennessee Journal says, I think that, even with the kind of bad publicity that John Ford is in for now, people will be able to distinguish between the nephew and the uncle. As if to make doubly sure, the congressman has repeatedly made remarks distancing himself from his uncle (something, John Fords intimates say, that the currently beleaguered state senator isnt crazy about.)
More good news: It is no secret that the congressman has proved a fascinating figure for much of the national and statewide media, and in his race he can expect the kind of lavish attention that was given the Senate races of candidates like Hillary Clinton in New York and Barack Obama in Illinois.
Theres bad news that comes with this good news, however: As we have noted, and as others are likely to discover, the congressmans reactions to news coverage are sometimes impulsive and even, when he doesnt like the facts reported, characterized by Kill-the-Messenger tendencies.
Two years ago, when another writer for this newspaper pointed out, accurately, that Fords local supporters were supporting state Rep. Kathryn Bowers, the eventual winner, for local Democratic chairman in a contested race, the congressman, looking ahead to his statewide race and no doubt galvanized by fear of party division, reacted swiftly and angrily. He repudiated the effort of his minions and made a point of endorsing then chairman Gal Jones Carson.
Complicating the issue was the fact that Carson doubled as press secretary for Mayor Willie Herenton, who has never been close to the Ford political clan.
Though Fords local supporters sucked it up and kept their peace publicly, several of them simmered privately and insisted that the congressman himself had initially signed off on their pro-Bowers efforts. One or two of them had serious words with Ford over the matter.
Fords composure under fire is sure to be tested in a Senate race. Rep. Kurita herself has a reputation for tenacious, even bare-knuckled campaigning, and, assuming Ford gets by her, he can surely expect some heavy weather from the eventual Republican nominee. As Cromer says, No doubt about it. Hes never had to endure the kind of stressful opposition he can expect in a Senate race, and that could be a problem for him.
Even Fords well-established celebrity glow could turn into a hindrance. Two recent items in Roll Call, the widely read Capitol Hill newsletter, began to highlight Fords private life. One called attention to his conspicuous presence at a lavish party thrown by Playboy Magazine during Super Bowl week. Another made fun of his penchant for regular pedicures.
Though he was briefly engaged some years ago, Ford does not have the kind of visible ties to a Significant Other that Tennesseans will see in the case of his various opponents. This fact might even help him with some younger voters, however.
One other potential obstacle for Ford: A number of state Democrats were unsettled by Fords protracted dawdling over a potential 2000 campaign for the Senate seat of Bill Frist -- the same one that Frist will vacate and Ford intends to seek next year. Still other Democrats were miffed by what they saw as the inattention of Ford, a national co-chair of John Kerrys campaign, to the Democratic nominees race in Tennessee. One major-county liaison official communicated misgivings about Ford to the Kerry campaign at the highest level.
For all that, no one doubts that Rep. Ford, an undeniably dynamic figure, is likely to energize the Tennessee Democratic base in ways beyond the ability of the partys Senate nominees for well more than a decade. And this, too, will be spoken to here. Stay tuned.

I can remember when the Republicans were good at this sort of thing. They were known for it. They'd figure out who was the most likely candidate to gain them the White House and they would back that candidate. This year there's a consensus that Romney is that guy, but that's not good enough. If they ('they' being the many factions making up the party) can't get it done their way, they'd rather not do it at all. That's not partisan voting. That's the opposite of partisan voting. Somewhere on Pennsylvania Avenue there's a guy from Illinois already planning his next term--and who can blame him?

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's Federal Court has ruled in favor of an indigenous Aboriginal group's claims over land used by Fortescue Metals Group <FMG.AX> to mine millions of tonnes of iron ore in Western Australia's Pilbara region.
The ruling gives the Yindjibarndi people exclusive native title rights over land covering the iron ore giant's Solomon mining hub, a vast mineral-rich project capable of yielding up to 70 million tonnes of iron ore a year.
Native title is a legal doctrine in Australia that recognizes indigenous rights to certain parcels of land. The case was brought on behalf of the Yindjibarndi people against the government of Western Australia state.
Yindjibarndi leader Michael Woodley said they would now seek compensation from Fortescue because it had built the Solomon operations without an appropriate land-use deal with the group.
"There's an economic loss, a cultural heritage loss and then the pain and suffering caused," Woodley told Reuters in a phone interview.

He did not specify the amount that would be sought.
In a statement emailed to Reuters, Fortescue Chief Executive Nev Powers said the company had built strong relationships with the majority of the Yindjibarndi community, providing businesses opportunities, renumeration and housing while protecting heritage areas.
"We don't agree with Michael Woodley's comments and intend to appeal the decision to ensure the Native Title Act applies as intended," Powers said.
In an earlier statement to the Australian Securities Exchange, Fortescue said it did not anticipate any material financial impact from the court's decision and it would have no impact on the current or future operation of the mine.
Fortescue, whose founder and chairman Andrew Forrest is one of Australia's wealthiest men, started as a small exploration company in 2003. Within 10 years it had become the world's fourth biggest supplier of iron ore, with annual revenue exceeding $7 billion last year.
Fortescue stock fell 3.5 percent on Thursday despite gains in iron ore prices, with most of the losses coming after the court ruling was made public. It was Fortescue's biggest one-day loss in a month.
The case is Warrie (formerly TJ) (on behalf of the Yindjibarndi People) v State of Western Australia in the Federal Court of Australia.

In my previous post, I explained how Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT) works. We haven't been using it for very long, but in the past week I've noticed something interesting: Spencer has started applying the technique spontaneously.
Although our BAT set-ups focus on people. Scary People are his major trigger, but, for obvious reasons, the consequences of his reacting against people are much more serious than the way he reacts to another animal.
In the past week, I've seen him stop in the street on several occasions, look at a Scary Person and then position his body to indicate a desire to turn back the other direction. I try to pay attention to these signals and reward him by going the other way immediately, even if we sometimes come back and make another approach.
I've also seen him do the same thing with a strange dog. Ahead of me on the leash, he air-sniffed to gather information about the other dog and then scurried back to my side.
But the most flagrant example I've seen all week was Thursday morning at the Parc du Sceaux. Now that the temperatures have risen, the sheep are back out in their pasture. Spencer and I were on the neighboring lawn, exploring and frolicking when he caught a whiff of them. He turned towards them and took a cautious step or two forward. Since he was on the long lead, he had a lot more liberty to manage the situation than when he is on the leash.
Ears up, he peered at the sheep — including the strange, new black sheep that weren't there last year — and sniffed, and then turned around and trotted happily past me like we were playing. So I trotted too, congratulated him in the Happy Voice, and when we got far enough away for him to feel safe, clicked and rewarded him. A minute or two later, he moved forward again, and we repeated the cycle.
We did that a few more times until he signalled that he was done, so we then headed back to the car.
It was one of those moments that seem inconsequential to a bystander and positively immense to someone with a reactive dog. He wasn't just responding to a command that kept him out of trouble. He was actively (and successfully) applying a coping mechanism he had learned to a novel situation. This strengthens his understanding of the benefits and also contributes to his ability to generalize the usefulness of the technique.

Your Skype / Telephone teachers
Here are some of your Skype / Telephone teachers
This is just a sample of some of the many Skype/Telephone teachers who work for us. Teachers are allocated to students according to their availability and the timetable chosen. Selection is determined by our expert team to ensure you get the best class at the right time.

Bernadette has a flair for communication and this is a massive advantage for her Skype classes. She uses an eclectic method which always relates to the students' needs, mostly orientating her lessons around interesting and exciting conversation in order to improve grammar, pronunciation and elocution. She is extremely caring, and wishes to create a comfortable teaching environment where her students can feel like students and not clients.
In her spare time, Bernadette adores nature and being outdoors, and her passion for art transpires through her love of oil painting and creative writing.
Megan is a British University of Leeds graduate with a degree in Spanish. During her studies, she studied mostly teaching modules and she also completed an ERASMUS year at Universidad de Murcia.

He co-wrote the 'Business Skills' booklet for Hot English. He is based in Madrid but he conducts Skype classes with people from all over the world, ranging from France to Vietnam.

She is extremely passionate, and this is evident for her students as they find that she caters to their individual needs. In Madeleine's spare time, she loves to read and make jewellery. She is a very creative person and this is a testimony to her lively and inspiring lessons.
Nate comes from Iowa, USA and is a graduate of Indiana University with a BA in Linguistics. He has also gained his TEFL qualification.

When Machines Create Intellectual Property, Who Owns What?
"The concept of machines that can think and create in ways that are indistinguishable from humans has been the stuff of science fiction for decades. Now, following major advances in artificial intelligence (AI), intellectual property created by machines without human input is fast becoming a reality. The development thus begs the question among legal scholars, legislative bodies, and judiciary branches of governments worldwide of who owns the intellectual property that humans did not create."

I am in possession of xampp 1.8.0 on windows 8.1 and everything works fine.
I decided to download the version 1.8.3 and I began to adapt the new version to my needs.
I enabled the virtualhost correctly by editing the configuration of file c: \ xampp \ apache \ conf \ extra \ httpd-vhosts.conf entering a site (www.valentinisoft.org).
I modified the fie c: \ windows \ system32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts by inserting a row 127.0.0.1 www.valentinisoft.org
I finally changed the system variable path by adding the path of apache and php
I then added the files to this new site in the subdirectory of C: \ xampp \ htdocs.
Everything seems to work except that php!
When I call the site www.valentinisoft.org the system responds regularly if you open the pages. Html but it does not work, returning the script only, when the pages are. Php.
Since version 1.8.0 of xampp works correctly .. where did I go wrong?
PS: In version 1.8.0 virtual hosting has been obtained by directly editing the configuration file c: \ xamp \ apache \ conf \ httpd.conf.
I tried to edit the same file in version 1.8.3 but apache will not load and error.

WASHINGTON — Blaming President Obama's policies for the "tepid recovery," Republican candidate Mitt Romney promised a group of top corporate executives that he'd make America "the most attractive place in the world" for entrepreneurs, investors and job creators.
One day before the president is expected to deliver a major economic speech, Romney predicted that Obama "will speak eloquently."
"But," he added, "words are cheap."
Romney said that Obama's record did not justify his re-election. Under Obama, he said, increased government regulation, the new healthcare law and pro-union administration actions had discouraged private businesses from hiring and, as a result, slowed the recovery.
"I happen to think the American people are tired of politicians who make excuses instead of taking responsibility," he said. Romney said the Democratic administration was responsible for the "most anti-investment, anti-business, anti-jobs series of policies in modern American history. The reason it has taken so long for this recovery to gain traction and put people back to work is in large measure because of [Obama's] policy choices."
The former Massachusetts governor outlined his own economic agenda for about 100 members of the Business Roundtable, made up of the chief executives of many of the nation's largest corporations, during a luncheon speech at the Newseum in Washington. He broke no new ground in calling for lower taxes, fewer regulations, more exploitation of domestic coal resources and repeal of the Dodd-Frank and Affordable Health Care laws.
