How to be Thankful When You Don
How to be Thankful When You Don't Feel Like It Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:20
Frankly, sometimes I don't feel very thankful. Yet as God's children, we are to thank Him all the time for everything. But there are some very bad things that happen to the child of God: sickness, sorrow, disappointment, death, divorce, etc.Why does God allow these things, and how can we possibly give Him thanks always and for all things?
The Sin Factor ,This is not the world God created it to be; it has been marred by sin. But we can thank God that one day He will create a new heaven and a new Earth. The curse will be undone, and creation will be delivered.
The Chastisement Factor ,We may, in difficult times, find ourselves under the chastening hand of God.His chastening doesn't mean He doesn't love us; it means that He loves us too much to let us get away with sin. At times like that, we ought to thank Him.
The Dependence Factor , God gives us problems so we will depend on Him. For example, Paul asked God to remove his "thorn in the flesh." (2 Corinthians 12:8). God answered in verse nine: "…My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Then Paul stated, "Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me…" If our troubles cause us greater dependency, we thank God.
The Maturity Factor ,God teaches us great lessons and matures us during difficult times. Psalm 119:67 says, "Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept Thy word."
Romans 8:28-29 says, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." And His purpose is for us "to be conformed to the image of His Son…" If affliction causes us to mature spiritually, then we can thank God for it.
The Patience Factor ,Could it be that God is simply working patience in us.Sometimes, we ask, "Why doesn't God do something?" But God might be doing something by not doing anything else. If God is teaching us the virtue of patience, shouldn't we thank God?
The Ministry Factor ,When bad things happen, they may enable us to minister to others. Second Corinthians 1:3-4 states, "Blessed be…the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
The Glory Factor ,Somehow, when we suffer and yet praise God; it gives Him glory. First Peter 4:12-13 states, "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you…But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy..."
The Mystery Factor
We may never understand why some things happen, but God is sovereign. In Isaiah 55:8, God says, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD."
Sometimes, we feel that God owes us an explanation; but if God loved us enough to send His Son to die for us on the cross, we never have to doubt His love. We can trust God and obey Him — regardless of the circumstances or consequences.
Real faith is not primarily receiving from God what we want, but it is accepting what He gives. He is good and faithful. So thank Him and praise Him anyway.

So I've been spending the last weekend of summer vacation relaxing around the house! I did venture out for some shopping and meals but that's it! I did not go into school this weekend like most of my coworkers...I just couldn't do it, I felt if I did I'd later regret the fact that I didn't rest when I had the chance. So I will finish some things up when I get there tomorrow. Teachers don't have to report until 8:45am but I'm usually there by 7:30am... I like to work when no one is there and it's quiet.
Open House was Friday and I met 20 of my 26 third graders. They seem like a fun bunch and their parents seem really supportive.
Usually I finish my lesson plans a week at a time but looking back at past plans, I include all these activities and then don't get to them, so maybe if I take it day by day this week I'll get all the activities I really want to do finished this week.
As far as what I would LOVE to accomplish this month...
1- During the first month of school I usually work a lot of late nights, well this is my first back to school as a married woman so I have to find a balance and come home on time!
2- Date nights were easy this summer but like I said earlier, I can get crazy busy with school stuff so I need to remember to have date nights with my husband at least 3-4 times a month.
3- Love on purpose, it's a phase we use at church. The bible commands us to love one another and I need to remember that always!

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Backup quarterback Matt Flynn threw a touchdown pass to Jermichael Finley with 1:10 left, giving the Green Bay Packers a 45-41 victory over the Detroit Lions in a wild regular-season finale in cold and windy conditions at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
With Aaron Rodgers resting for the playoffs, Flynn set Packers franchise records with 480 yards passing and six touchdowns. It was an ideal afternoon for the Packers (15-1) who got to rest Rodgers and several other big-name players without losing playoff momentum.
Flynn barely got the Packers past Matthew Stafford, who threw for 520 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions for the Lions (10-6). Detroit has lost 21 straight road games to the Packers, including the postseason.

This one's for dog castration protest poetry.
Memory still foggy--
Car ride; vet; deep sleep; now pain.
What's this 'round my neck?
So I humped your leg.
It's my duty as a dog.
A bit drastic, no?
Tell me it ain't so.
I thought I was "man's best friend"..
Better hide your shoes...

Reporters must not give in to the "temptation" to "soften" all the "crazy" things Donald Trump says, one of Britain's most respected journalists has warned.
Veteran newsreader Jon Snow, who covered Trump rallies in the run-up to the election, said the president's "menacing and dangerous" rhetoric could seem more mild through the filter of the media.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Huffington Post UK about the rise of fake news and the state of journalism, Snow claimed even the BBC had toned down Trump.
Citing a BBC report that claimed Trump had urged Americans to blame "the courts" if there were a terror attack, the 69-year-old said: "That's not what he said. What he actually said was 'blame the judge and his court'.
"This is a federal judge... [Trump] was much more ferocious than the BBC felt it worth reporting."
Snow added: "I'm not criticising the BBC.... It illustrates that, to some extent, the media's in danger of hosing Trump down, actually making it not quite as menacing and dangerous as he might appear."
Prof Gerry Lanosga, an assistant professor in journalism at Indiana University, agreed there were fears some media were softening Trump.
He told HuffPost UK: "I think there's certainly a concern about this happening. The Washington press corps might be particularly susceptible to something like Snow describes because of the need for access to the administration.
"And the pressure on journalists from a hostile president seems to be at an all-time high right now."
But he added he had been "heartened" by how media in the US had been calling out Trump's falsehoods.
"I think it's going to a bumpy and fascinating ride to see how this develops," he said.
Snow's comments come amid concern among Wall Street Journal reporters that the Rupert Murdoch-owned paper is being too "soft" on the new president, who detests journalists. They are due to meet the paper's editor-in-chief to discuss their concerns next week.
The conservative paper was criticised by media commentators in November when its headline about Trump's repeated lie about millions of people voting fraudulently - "Trump Takes Aim At 'Millions' Of Votes" - did not emphasise the lack of evidence for such a claim.
Trump has repeatedly alleged mass voter fraud and never presented any evidence.
This week it was revealed that Murdoch sat in on an interview for the Times newspaper between former cabinet minister and chief Brexiteer Michael Gove, which was not mentioned in the story.
Trump has previous tweeted his support for Murdoch, calling him a "great guy."
Snow described the ferocity with which Trump, who has repeatedly accused many of America's biggest and most respected media outlets of peddling fake news, singled out and attacked journalists at his campaign rallies.
Snow said the public might have been sceptical if he had described it in detail in one of his reports.
"If I had gone to air from a Trump rally and described being herded into a corner and the future president shouting 'Bad People! The worst people in the world', they'd say, 'this is self-interest. You're just picking up crap. He probably meant it as a joke'.
"He didn't. He meant it. He really hates us."
Snow continued: "If you report it all [of what Trump says], you almost feel you might be accused of editorial bias because it sounds so crazy. There's a temptation to do that...
"The worry is, if you do, you whip up a fervour... but it's the truth. He does say seriously crazy things."

Happy St. Patrick's day!
Last night we were invited to a family St. Paddy's Day party. I thought why not try lemon bars with some green food coloring to make them festive? They turned out great!
Of course I used my lemon bar recipe I posted about last year...still a keeper! Added the green food coloring to the crust and the filling.
Simple, green and cute!

The Natural History of Ocular Graft-Versus Host Disease
The study objectives are to study the development of ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)
in participants treated with stem cell transplantation (SCT) at the NIH, including exam
findings prior to SCT, changes in ocular signs and symptoms following SCT and response to
standard therapy in participants identified with dry eye and ocular GVHD; to develop
clinical outcome measures for early onset and more advanced ocular GVHD and provide
estimates of progression rates for these outcomes; to analyze tear fluid, impression
cytology (IC) and serum samples from participants undergoing SCT, to identify biomarkers or
other findings which may predict the onset of ocular GVHD or correlate with disease
progression or response to therapy and to establish a cohort of participants with ocular
GVHD in anticipation of future clinical trials.
Up to 50 adult participants undergoing SCT at the NIH will be enrolled.
This prospective, natural history study will follow participants through 12 months post-SC,
with the option to extend follow-up for up to five years.
The primary objective outcome variable is ocular surface staining using fluorescein and
lissamine green dyes, as measured by the Oxford criteria, with the scale ranging from 0 to
15 in each eye. The primary subjective outcome measure is the Ocular Surface Disease Index
(OSDI), ranging from 0 to 100. Secondary outcome variables include best-corrected visual
acuity (BCVA), tear film osmolarity, Schirmer's tear testing with anesthesia, meibomian
gland function and tear break-up time. In addition, tear fluid biomarkers and/or IC will be
studied as secondary outcome variables to determine whether changes in biomarker levels
(tear fluid) or cell densities and morphologies (IC) correlate with the development or
progression of ocular GVHD.
Time Perspective: Prospective
The primary objective variable is ocular surface staining using fluorescein and lissamine green dyes. The primary subjective outcome measure is the OSDI

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'iPhone' started by sjn419, Jun 24, 2010.
what are you guys doing? not having screen protection seems risks but this thing sucks
Going without a case for the time being. I'm thinking of a black bumper but we'll see what happens.. I'll probably wait for the first scratch before investing in a case.
I would try a hard plastic protector like Power Support, they feel more like the glass than the rubbery types.
I'm going naked, as I always have. There might be a few minor scratches on the back eventually, but my screens are always flawless, even after 2 years of use.
Going naked until my SGP crystal ex gets here... just shipped today.
Never put a skin on the screen. If you feel you must go film, i.e. powersupport. Skins are best for the sides/back if you feel it necessary.
Got me a bumper this morning. That's all I'll be using.
Funnily enough i've JUST installed my Zagg invisible shield (the full body version) and i think its amazing. Having said that I do agree, it doesn't feel as nice the naked screen but then that is worth it to prevent a scratch. It was difficult to install or should i say it takes a while but i have no bubbles or dust underneath.
I always had a screen protector on mine. It totally saved me at one point when I accidentally banged the screen on a concrete pylon.
ugh! i just installed zagg invisible shield and it feels and looks horrible. It has a weird filmy look to it. I had this static cling type protector on my old iphone and it was so much better. I have to find the packaging as I don't remember the brand/company.
I still want the screen protector but definitely not this one from zagg.
Is there a way to return this for full refund at bestbuy? I'm so disappointed.
I have the InvisibleShield on my new phone, and it looks and feels wonderful to me. Of course, I used my wife's new phone as the test run, and ended up with more bubbles and lint stuck to the film than I'd hoped. By the time I got to mine, I had the routine down cold.
I saw a dude with some film over his iphone. It looks and feels terrible! Why would you ruin this thing with that 30 cents nonsense.
Enjoy your phone people. It's gonna get scratched who cares, in 12 months you'll have a new one
Do any of the stores have any cases left on the shelves?
I was going to go commando but i'm afraid of dropping this thing.
I always hated the Invisible Shields, pre-order a Power Support (they will be out in 2 to 3 weeks) They feel the closest to nothing.
Let it sit for 24 hours; it will look much better once the adhesive settles. It won't disappear.. but it will lessen.
iHad it installed only on the back. Still looking for a solution for the front.
Naked right now, but a bumper is on its way. I usually start out with a case for a few months then end up going without.
I want to Best Buy today, had them apply the front and back invisibleShield.
My Bumper showed up from FedEx today too.
That is my solution for now: Bumper +invisibleShields.
When the Otterbox Defender is released, I'll re-evaluate.
Man, you Zagg owners should have done your research.
Wrapsol, Power Support and Best Skins ever FTW!!!
Waiting on my bumper and my Wrapsol within the next few days. I would NEVER put Invisible Shield on anything. I'm not into the orange peel effect...
Also pre-ordering the Power Support Crystal film because I've had great experience with it on my 1st gen and my 3G. Ordering it...just in case...
Right now, I have a cheap 5 buck bumper I bought from Meritline a few weeks ago. Fits perfectly...rubberized...made for iPhone 4...
Got my bumper from fedex today and a Clear Coat shield installed at the mall this evening. I'm disappointed with the Clear Coat (it's just like the Zagg). It feels tacky and rubbery, when I swipe my finger sticks a little. I plan on getting a powersupport film. Do you think the antiglare will dustirt the retina display? I used a PS antiglare on my 3GS and I loved it. I might be going with crystal so it feels more like glass though. I just really wish I could get a refund on this clear coat. Maybe it will feel better after 24 hours?
it did lessen. looks a little better, but I personally hate the orange peel look.
Hoping that Bestbuy will take this back used.

Upcoming Cars BMW M3 Tornado CS 2010 With Specification And Prices With Reviews And Pictures Images
Thanks to BMW Motorsport team's win at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring endurance race in 2010, G-Power released two new vehicles. The BMW M3 GT2 S, represented G-Power's aim to appeal to BMW fans worldwide in a vehicle similar to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Meanwhile, G-Power showcased their tuning abilities with the BMW M3 Tornado CS for the public, a slightly less powerful version of the GT2. Their press release described both as street legal ticketed with the €10,800 SK II CS supercharger upgrade, the same as the Alpina B6 GT3.
To get all the power they can, G-Power added an aluminum air box, dual flow carbon intake, and aluminum charge air cooler, and titanium exhaust reducing the weight by 26kgs. The G-Power tuning resulted in a 43% increase in HP with specs of 600ps (441 kW) and up to 428 lbs of torque, for quite an impressive performance. It has a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph) utilizing the seven-speed DCT gearbox. However, with a six speed manual transmission that's reduced to 199mph.

Fashion Book: Fashion, the Century of the Designer
Fashion Book: "Fashion, the Century of the Designer"
In the first few years of the 2000's, there were many publications that reviewed 20th century fashion. This is one of those books, however it is well written and illustrated, being more than a pretty coffee table book.
Every fashion library needs an encyclopedia of sorts. This is a huge volume that spans the 20th century and includes nearly every important trend and designer. Arranged by decades, this book can give an overview of a specific era, or it can be used to look up specific information. Probably every designer of importance in included here, located within the decade chapter where their contributions mattered most. Additionally, there are features that include British, Italian and American fashion.
Having this book on the shelf will ensure that you can find information on 20th century fashion in a concise but well defined way, providing a start for any type of research or general knowledge. If I have any problem with "Fashion, the Century of the Designer" it might be that it is very heavy and awkward, being larger than most textbooks on the subject. I guess that's the price you pay to include lots of color photos.
Title: Fashion: the century of the designer, 1900 - 1999
Author: Charlotte Seeling
Hardcover: 656 pages
Publisher: Konemann (2000)
Book size: 11.7 x 10.2 x 1.9 inches
This book may be found in my shop

Thoroughly engaging review. I have been eyeing this book for years, as I really like the scope and variety of topics and eras that it covers, as well as that it weaves international fashions into the fold. This title has long been popular with historical fashion fans, so I'd be willing to bet that it won't sit around for long in your lovely Etsy shop.

-- 1) The flowering of Torah study and teaching by God-fearing Orthodox women in recent decades stands as a significant achievement. The Rabbinical Council of America is gratified that our (members) have played a prominent role in facilitating these accomplishments.
2) We members of the Rabbinical Council of America see as our sacred and joyful duty the practice and transmission of Judaism in all of its extraordinary, multifaceted depth and richness –
(Jewish law), hashkafah (Jewish thought), tradition and historical memory.
3) In light of the opportunity created by advanced women's learning, the Rabbinical Council of America encourages a diversity of halakhically and communally appropriate professional opportunities for learned, committed women, in the service of our collective mission to preserve and transmit our heritage. Due to our aforesaid commitment to sacred continuity, however, we cannot accept either the ordination of women or the recognition of women as members of the Orthodox rabbinate, regardless of the title.
4) Young Orthodox women are now being reared, educated, and inspired by mothers, teachers and mentors who are themselves beneficiaries of advanced women's Torah education. As members of the new generation rise to positions of influence and stature, we pray that they will contribute to an ever-broadening and ever-deepening wellspring of
talmud Torah
(Torah study),
yir'at Shamayim
(fear of Heaven), and
dikduk b'mitzvot
(scrupulous observance of commandments).

The music of the water as it coves. We covert each other. Rings from the aquarium gift shop that change colours. Cover of sunlight does not show what happens after dark when the neighbours stone the penguins to death on the beach, leave them with coffee cups over their heads to drown. She wears my hoodie over her eyes as she lays on my lap on the rocks above the water, and says we have been both under and over and beside, today, and maybe she is suggesting we will also be in the water, when we return to the city. That pool by the harbour, the drama of water on water. It is not loud if it is dying. If we have brought a species to extinction let it flood and fill our minds with sound. There is always the anxiety of airports and trains where hands slip, where unnecessary promises are made, where the views we shared just go, just leave us until we can pick them up again. This time of year the trees keep giving us things, wattles, hibiscus flowers, banksia seed pods. I am loved.

Sounds like the perfect mother-daughter day out. :-)
I hope you and the wee girl had lovely day and were inspired - maybe she has found the inspiration to make something for you for Mothers' Day. I am looking forward to whatever glittery creation comes home from school from my youngest; the older two are 'too cool' at the moment to make things for their mum (high school changes them!), hopefully that will pass.

I'm getting Better each day!
We are spending Christmas out of town at a beautiful lake called Priest Lake. It's in Idaho, and probably one of the most beautiful places on earth. We went there for Valentines Day last year, but decided to go for Christmas this year. It's kinda expensive but so worth it! We rent their biggest cabin on the lake, with a fireplace and a view that just doesn't end. When we get back I'll post some pictures.
I have made some rosettes about 60 of them, thank you Susan!!!, for the grand kids to make ornaments with. I was pretty worn out after that. But I think they will be so pretty on their trees.
Well I am getting tired so I will close with this, Thank you every one of you that send me words of encouragement, and care. I love every one of you, and you all mean the world to me.
Big, big hugs, Pam

I have never been as busy when it came to school as I ever was this semester. As a second year student in Fashion Marketing at LaSalle College, we had to organize a fashion show from A to Z within our course called Fashion Presention (Coordination). Each class (two English and two French) had to come up with a concept to be presented in front of professionals from the field and of course, family and friends.
Four different concepts were created: Hysteria, BRKLYNS BADDST, Duplicata and Plur.
The night was a success for all the students and all of our dedicated time paid off. In everyone's name I can say that this became a full job and even if it also affected the course work for our other classes, it was in a way worth it. We have the chance at my school to have the tools provide to have hands on experience with the industry. The Soirée Mode event was our chance to use theory learnt in class during our first year and apply it to the creation of a fashion show. From hosting a model casting, looking for designers/brands to borrow clothes from, budgeting, creating visual content and decoration for the show and building the hype using all the communication tools learned, it allowed to bring our ideas into a real event.
Of course, it might not be as huge as events from St-Martins or New York's FIT, Montreal's College LaSalle prides itself into being as good as them when it comes to fashion courses.
Reflecting back to the show, it is a night to remember and I can say that I feel like a proud mama when it came time to watch my class' concept come to life (BRKLYNSBADDST).
I couldn't find any quality worth picture but here are some videos that capture the essence of each concept, credit goes to ISHOESPURPLE.
Hysteria, Duplicata & Plur

King Township councillors are holding firm on their no-severance policy in existing subdivisions.
Council refused an Official Plan Amendment and bylaw change for a Snowberry Lane property, going against planning staff who recommended it be approved.
The proposal, submitted by Ellen McCarthy and Tara McCarthy, is to adjust the boundaries between adjacent 22 and 32 Snowberry Lane and create a new lot of 1.7 acres with a frontage of 147.2 feet. The plan is to demolish the existing house on 32 Snowberry and build new houses on the retained lands and the new lot.
These are designated Estate Residential 1 in the zoning bylaw and King City Community Plan. The applicants are seeking approval to create the lot and reduce the lot area requirement.
Snowberry Lane is a cul-de-sac situated at the west end of the community, 280 metres east of Jane. The properties at 22 and 32 are currently 2.5 and 2.59 acres respectively.
Kingscross Estates consists of some 175 large estate lots created by seven registered plans, from 1956 through 1977.
A packed council chambers saw both supporters and opponents of the plan speak to councillors, during an emotionally charged discussion.
Julie Nevin, board member of Kingscross Ratepayers' Association (KRA), said Kingscross is a distinct, unique estate lot subdivision and they want to preserve it. This application, she said, would destroy Kingscross. Homeowners live here to enjoy the space and privacy. "Why would anyone want to change that?" she asked.
KRA board member Ian Hilley said this bid would set a precedent, allowing more 1.5-acre lots, or even smaller.
Professional planner Allan Ramsay, contracted by KRA, provided some of his insights. He noted Kingscross properties are very different and most boast large frontages. In this context, the "lot fabric" has been stable for roughly 60 years. This is essentially the first proposed change to this fabric and it's "not good planning."
It's not in keeping with the character of the community and it would be a "detrimental change," impacting future applications, he said.
Rosalind Elson, another KRA board member, had previously distributed a petition opposing the severance. Such an exception should be justified and she can't see any reason for this, other than millions of dollars in profit.
"This will set a dangerous precedent," she charged.
She read a letter from a couple of Kingscross residents, who commented this would be like opening a Pandora's Box.
John Hollick, another KRA board member, drew a comparison between this bid and a previous one from a Warren Road resident, which council refused. The current proposed lots are undersized with smaller frontages and he believes King staff used incorrect data to draw their conclusions.
He also foresees a "frenzy to sell and sever" and if approved, it will be "open territory for speculators."
Long-time resident and KRA board member Wilson Markle supported the application, calling it a "carefully devised plan." It looks similar to other properties in Kingscross cul-de-sacs, he said.
KRA director Leslie Whicher said she was "baffled" by staff's recommendation to approve the bid, given council's direction to prohibit severances in established subdivisions. She asked council to give serious weight to the number of signatures KRA obtained of those opposed to the project.
Resident Brian Pritchard pointed out this issue has caused a "deep divide" in the community and he's shocked by some of the comments, rumours and gossip. He said there has been an "aggressive anti-McCarthy campaign" and residents have been misled and lied to.
Change will always occur, he pointed out, noting recent builds by this family have resulted in nicer homes in Kingscross. He admitted the character is changing, but it's becoming even better.
Jim Kotsopoulos, of JKO Planning Services, representing the McCarthys, said they've been working with the Township for upwards of nine months to resolve outstanding issues and concerns. They've provided updated natural heritage reports and hydrogeological studies to satisfy the Township's concerns.
Resident Greg Donohue said has no problem with the application, adding recent builds in the community have been "nothing less than exceptional." He also experienced misinformation and said the animosity that has been created shouldn't exist. The merits of this application should be considered and council should side with its planning staff.
There are a lot bigger issues and problems facing King residents than one lot.
"The McCarthys are improving the neighbourhood, one lot at a time," he said.
Fifteen-year resident Mark Miller said the community already contains many non-conforming lots and the fierce opposition and divisiveness is ridiculous. This severance would not be the end of the world and he asked councillors to consider what's been built to improve the looks of Kingscross.
"The new construction in Kingscross is very tasteful," he said. He pointed out that the McCarthys are not the only builders who are working in the area.
Stephanie D'Orazio said one compromise leads to another. "If approved, we will apply, cash out and move to a more protected neighbourhood," she said.
Michael Lamanna said the neighbourhood is in a constant state of construction. He sits on the committee of adjustment and he sees similar applications all the time. In his opinion, this very much sets a precedent.
Janesse McPhillips, who helped run the last KRA board election, said there has been plenty of "reprehensible" behaviour. KRA, she said, did not have a mandate to oppose this severance, as the association has purported. She doesn't think KRA's stance is representative of the community.
Joanne Henry, who also supported the application, noted KRA told her to basically mind her own business.
Councillor Cleve Mortelliti, who is on public record for opposing severances in established legacy subdivisions, observed this issue has divided neighbours. He grew up in King City and pointed out Kingscross has always had an upscale reputation. He's also worked in the development industry and has a lot of experience in land issues.
He believes this would be precedent-setting and stood firm on his opposition. In fact, he would like to see a Township-wide consensus on severances. "We have to preserve our neighbourhoods," he stressed.
Planning director Stephen Kitchen noted staff used the Township's GIS system for lot data and admitted some of the numbers were off. But that doesn't affect staff's support for the application. He said he looked at the actual characteristics of the community. He also believes each application should be reviewed on its own merits and he said there were other factors involved.
Kingscross, he agreed, "is the most attractive estate subdivision" he's ever seen. However, the community as it stands, would not meet today's zoning rules.
He also doesn't see an influx of severances, noting staff haven't received any more either. There's a big difference between an application and one that staff can support, he pointed out.
He also said the proponent has spent a lot of money on studies and did a lot of work to prepare for their application.
Tara McCarthy pointed out after the meeting that had the planning department voted to reject the plan, it may have been abandoned.
"Two years of effort, great expense and the emotional stress from the community was really taking its toll," she said.
After reading the planning department's detailed 48-page report stating in the application met the Township's requirements, with a recommendation for approval, the applicants felt optimistic.
"In fact the planning department's report was so positive for our severance we felt that if we failed to win council's vote, we would have the option to take this to the OMB," McCarthy said.
She admitted the council meeting was a difficult night.
She felt some residents "crossed the line from making fair and respectable objections to slanderous and maligning deputations on the record. This was really very shocking. I found if very insulting and unjust that residents were able to stand in front of everyone and make such accusations.
"Let me say this. For those who know us we are hard-working, trustworthy residents who go the extra mile to protect and help our neighbours. The proof is on display throughout the neighbourhood for all to see. We stand behind our projects. We are here and we are accountable. All of our efforts have been for the improvement, not downfall as some would lead you to believe.
"Our door is always open and we welcome everyone. We will continue to work for the betterment of our neighbours and the community as a whole."
Councillor Debbie Schaefer said this will have wide-ranging ramifications. The Official Plan is a guiding document whose rules should be followed. "I dont think now is the time for us to lower the standard regarding lot area," she said.
Councillor Avia Eek said the King City Community Plan clearly states that in no case should a new lot be created in existing subdivisions.
Mayor Steve Pellegrini said he has friends on both sides of this issue, and he's dismayed about the strife over a single severance. There are some "gorgeous homes in Kingscross."
The Official Plan, which is in the process of being updated, is clear on severances. The new OP will contain equally strong policies against severances.
Councillor Linda Pabst was the lone supporter. She did say it's sad to see a community split like this and the animosity that has been created. She fully agrees with staff's recommendations.
In his report, Kitchen noted the applicants addressed ecological impacts, the non-existence of wood turtles and any potential impacts on wells.
He admitted this is the first severance application in Kingscross. In his opinion, this bid does preserve the natural look.
The minimum lot frontage in estate zoning calls for 60 metres, while the severed lot would have 37.66 metres. He noted the neighbourhood does have lots that range from 30 to 193 metres of frontage and 10 lots have less than the 60-metre standard.
Kitchen argued there's a difference between lot frontages on through streets compared with cul-de-sacs and he believes this will not negatively impact the character of the area.
Kitchen also had no problems with the concept drawings provided for the new homes. He noted there's a trend in estate areas for larger homes, and the proposed setbacks also meet standards.
Kitchen argued the application for an OPA looks to amend a single policy under the consent section of the King City Community Plan on a site specific basis. "The amendment is not proposing a community wide change, nor is it proposing a change in land use. Rather, the application has been brought forward for council's consideration to identify an opportunity to create an infill lot whereby the resulting lot is within the range of lot areas, frontages and character of the study area."
Kitchen said one of main considerations is whether this reflects the established character of the area, and his staff is confident that it's compatible.
"It is planning staff's opinion that the estate residential character of the area will not be noticeably altered as a result of the applicant's proposal … Planning staff has conducted an extensive review with respect to character elements and finds that the overall proposal is generally in keeping with the character of the study area."

Dear Incomparable Soul,
Want to know what's not fair? Want to know what NEVER has a happy ending?
Comparing is a yucky yucky habit that never does us any good.
Life hands each of us human beings different 'kits' full of different stuff. And to compare one set of skills, circumstances, attributes, looks, relationships, or life experiences to another is like comparing water to fire and wanting them to be exactly the same…even though we need both water and fire just about every day of our lives.
If you are feeling discontent, maybe it's because you are comparing something about your life to someone else's. And guess what?…
We usually compare someone else's best parts with our own worst parts. (Not fair!)
Comparing steals our joy and our gratitude and our authenticity. Instead of comparing, practice feeling happy about another's abundance, and feel so grateful and happy about yours, too.
See YOUR life for what it is. See YOUR gifts, YOUR path and YOUR mission. That's where your influence is, that's where all the magic in your life will happen. That's where you will find the most peace and joy.
Isn't that where you want to be??
You are so very loved.

Obama cancels meeting with Russia's Putin
President Barack Obama is cancelling his planned meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, an administration official said on Wednesday.
President Barack Obama is canceling his planned meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin scheduled for next month in Moscow, an administration official said on Wednesday.
The Obama administration has repeatedly expressed disappointment after Moscow granted asylum to former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden, rejecting pleas to hand him over to face espionage charges.
The president is still expected to attend the G20 summit in Russia this fall.
Speaking on NBC's "The Tonight Show" with host Jay Leno, Obama said Moscow sometimes slipped into a Cold War mentality, despite being cooperative with the United States on some issues, including counterterrorism efforts in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing.
Washington wants Snowden, who was in hiding in Hong Kong before flying to Moscow in June, to be returned to the U.S. to be prosecuted for disclosing secret American Internet and telephone surveillance programs.
"What I say to President Putin is, that's the past and ... we've got to think about the future. And there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to cooperate more effectively than we do."
During the interview, Obama also said the recent threat that caused the United States to close its embassies throughout the Middle East was significant.
"It's significant enough that we're taking every precaution," Obama said.
"It's a reminder that for all the progress we've made ... this radical, violent extremism is still out there," Obama said. "We've got to stay on top of it."
The U.S. State Department issued a worldwide travel alert Friday warning Americans that al Qaeda may be planning attacks in August, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. It initially announced the embassy closures would be only for Sunday, then extended the closures of some by a week.
Asked whether the controversial surveillance programs helped lead to the intelligence that sparked the warnings, Obama said the programs were critical to counterterrorism work. But he said more needed to be done to assure Americans they were not being spied on themselves.
"We don't have a domestic spying program," he said. "What we do have are some mechanisms where we can track a phone number or an email address that we know is connected to some sort of terrorist threat."
The odds of dying in a terrorist attack were less than dying in a car accident, Obama said, and Americans should be careful but did not need to cancel planned vacations to places such as Europe as a result of the recent travel warnings.
Lighter side
In lighter notes, Obama said he had invited his former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, to her recent lunch at the White House and described her as having a post-administration "glow."
"We have become genuinely close, and I could not have more respect for her," Obama said.
Asked by Leno whether the former first lady and potential 2016 presidential candidate had "measured the drapes" while she was there, Obama said no.
"Keep in mind she's been there before," he joked. "She doesn't have to measure them."
Obama also confirmed — more or less — a budding "bromance" with his former 2008 presidential rival, Republican Sen. John McCain, who has been supportive of Obama's push to reform U.S. immigration laws.
"That's how a classic romantic comedy goes, right? Initially you're not getting along and then you keep on bumping into each other," Obama joked.
"John McCain and I have, you know, a number of philosophical differences, but he is a person of integrity. He is willing to say things regardless of the politics."
Leno also poked fun at Obama for having told a group of young people that broccoli was his favorite food.
"Me and broccoli, I don't know, we've got a thing going," Obama offered.

A bear named "Pooh"
Little One has become very fond of Winnie the Pooh lately, when he hears an noise he doesn't know he says with a tilt of his head, "Pooh?" and because he is in the middle of a growth cycle he is often hungry asking, "May I have more?" with his two chubby hands tapping one another again and again in the baby sign for "More". To me he is becoming a Pooh Bear. And when I snapped this photo on Easter morning my first thought was, Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh!
Oh what a blustery day!
"You're the best bear in ALL the world," said Christopher Robin "Am I?" said Pooh hopefully. And then he brightened up suddenly."Anyhow," he said, "it is nearly luncheon time." So home they went for it.
~~Love to you and all your forest animals

^First. Propeller is redundant and slow, a small rocket will do, and the vibrating mechanism, if good enough, will do the job. Propeller will actually interferes with the vibrating scales due to the turbulence it caused.
Second. The vibrating scales will be propulsion first and armor last, with weapon in between. The concept dictates fragility (a relative term here) due to moving mechanism, while the scales themselves is actually sturdy.
The weapon concept is interesting, but you will require a lot of handwave at that.

... then a turbine? The scales would be used for situations where maneuverability is required and the turbine is used for long distance travels.
How fast can that scale system move anyway? @_@?
Yeah... about the lance... not quite as precise as Mysteriosu lady's mystletain but probably a lot more powerful in what it does.

Remember the cavitation effect? Neither propeller or turbine can move past 40 mph reliably due to that phenomenon because the blades spin so fast it generate a bubble shield that made them useless. (some torpedo can easily go past 60 mph, but then again they're disposable)
By default, all underwater I.S. use Supercavitation effect as primary means of travel. This will give a great burden to the frame and shield generator, but there's no any other way to move fast.
Scale system give extra mobility compared to rocket-powered supercavitation, and far slower, but still faster than conventional turbine/propeller. (Since basically, each scale is a supercavitating blades)

No, they just use the protective field as blunt nose and have their rocket motor kick at full power, they might able to shame even the fastest supercav torpedo currently exist (~400 mph). But the resulting burden and vibration will be damn scary experience
(BTW, I imagine Houki do just that in canon, considering she could catch Gospel off guard like a shark jumping toward a falcon, she's gotta be super fast)
....And having the pilot suffer a whiplash, or worse, a neck broken. Are you for real?
Going to sleep, see ya.

EDIT: In ST fanon I give 150 mph as 'safe limit', and 300 mph as maximum theoretical possibility at extremely shallow dive of 5-10 meter without tearing up the machine apart (what Houki did, G4 is serious hax after all).
The deeper you dive, the lower the speed you can maintain due to the difference of water pressure.

Well Tate also could do that more plausibly using energy released from nanomachines, which greedy assumed is wirelessly supplied with power and command. Her OTHER abilities on the other hand is less than technobabble and more about the author trying to make her as distinct as he could, ended with ridiculous powerset such as water drill, which is totally silly

I knew water has immense destructive potential as proven by water jet cutter. That lame water pump can easily drill through 45 cm steel, and until composite armor is invented, it's considered as alternative anti-tank weapon.
Razor sharp drill-shaped water however IS silly and pardon if this is really offensive, I'm not going to change my mind.
Terra-forming I.S., it's possible, but will took really, really long time, as in, hundreds of year. Better use cheap worker and their conventional machines (tm) instead.

Denver & Colorado Springs this Industry Is Jam-Packed With Energy-Efficient,
Durable, Great-Looking Replacment Windows.
But Only Simonton Windows Are Worthy Of Our Patent Pending Dry-Fit™ Installation.
Patent Pending Dry-Fit™ Installation
Energy Star® Rated Windows
Custom Sizes & Designs
Double Lifetime Warranty
Let's face it: Great replacement windows are pretty common these days. In fact, what would have been a "good" window 15 years ago is considered "average" at best by today's standards.
But even though great replacement windows are plentiful nowadays, there are very few windows in Denver, Colorado Springs and the Fort Collins area that are spectacular in every category that counts. By that we mean windows that create an air-tight seal and cut energy costs by hundreds of dollars. We're talking about windows that offer a LIFETIME of durability—not 10 or 15 years. We're talking about windows that are independently rated the absolute top of the class year in and year out.
What Is Dry-Fit™ Installation?
In our years of experience installing replacement windows, we've discovered that most contractors don't pay much attention to protecting the sill before they install a window. The standard practice is to apply a small strip of caulk to the outside of the window, which creates a very weak line of defense against leaks. This caulk WILL lead to an eventual seal failure, leaving the structural framing exposed to costly water damage and mold.
Our Dry-Fit™ Installation eliminates leaking problems from the sill. Our process uses 4 layers of protection to prevent water from infiltrating the interior of your home. The first and most important layer is a special dam we create by incorporating the backer rod against the window sill. For layer 2, we cover this dam in a waterproof membrane made of rubberized asphalt adhesive based with a cross-laminated polyethylene top. Layer 3 involves capping the dam with aluminum coil to create a sloped sill pan that diverts water away from your home. Once we install, seal, and fasten the window from the inside, we seal the window from the outside for protection layer 4.
On top of all that, we use our Corner-Tech inserts at each of the bottom corners of the window whenever possible. The corners happen to be the biggest point of failure on a window installation The industry standard is to ignore the problem and do nothing. This is not acceptable to us, and that is why we have focused on a solution for this. By using the Corner-Tech inserts, we will eliminate any air or water infiltration at the biggest failure point on a window installation.
Our Dry-Fit™ Installation offers the best protection from window leaks. Period. But protecting from leaks isn't the only superior component of our installation. Instead of the typical "rip & stick" method of installation other contractors use, we cut back the drywall return before inserting the window, we call this a Direct-Fit installation method. This makes for a much more professional installation, and looks better and lasts longer than the "normal" industry installation standard.
The Simonton® Impressions Series (Vinyl)
We're the Colorado-exclusive installer of Simonton's award-winning Impressions replacement windows. Simonton® vinyl windows have been rated #1 in durability and energy efficiency for multiple years in a row. Simonton® windows are tripled paned, weather sealed, and made with the most heavy-duty vinyl materials on the market. With Simonton® windows, you'll boost your home's curb appeal, cut your energy costs, and experience a lifetime of performance backed by a Double Lifetime Warranty (including glass breakage).

WOW Best Secret Santa EVER
Never expected to get anything like this. So happy with my gifter.
I was going to wait until Christmas to open this but I was too excited ad couldn't wait any longer. (Glad I did now).
I opened the parcel that came all the way from South Korea. I was really excited about this because ever since I started doing gift exchanges I have always want to be matched with someone from that side of the world.
As I look inside I took out bag after bag of food and goodies. Some of the stuff I don't have any idea what it is but it all looks awesome. Thanks.
I noticed at the bottom of the package a black box. I reached in and grabbed it and was in total shock when I realised what it was. A LEVEL 10M GAMING MOUSE.
Cant believe someone who has never met or spoken to me before has the done this for me. I am extremely grateful of this. You have made my Christmas
Thanks so much.

Straight-ahead / fast-as-fuck / chaotic / Zorlac--shreddin' skatecore from Houston, TX. fronted by none other than John "Tex" Gibson & Todd Prince - both major (pro) players in the Texas skate(rock) scene back in the eighties. John can still rip it these days - I'm assuming Todd does as well, and while this isn't your usual "tough guy" hardcore, it is without a doubt a solid piece of hardcore / skate rock history. "Skaterock" as a sub-genre hasn't held up real well over the years (if at all, really), and these guys were better than most of the pack - that goes for skating ability as well as rockin' ability, by the way.Goes down down great with some snapback-gnarlers on fat coping (followed by a couple cold ones, bro)...

(EDITOR'S NOTE: We asked Sandra Mitchell to write about a potentially devastating issue facing snowmobilers who not only live in Idaho but also ride in Idaho. If you're willing to help the snowmobile community rectify this problem, contact Mitchell. Her contact information is at the end of her story.)
When Idaho's legislators finally brokered a deal with Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter on how to fund needed work on our state's deteriorating highways, they did so with some deft sleight of hand, moving the money from one place to another in a classic shell game.
The losers were Idaho's recreationists and all the communities that have enjoyed the benefits of motorized recreation in the past 40 some years. This game avoided an increase in the gas tax, but took away the money that funds recreation projects and programs from one end of the state to the other. It was a bad deal that needs to be corrected and sooner rather than later.
Idaho's off-highway vehicle (OHV) users, including snowmobilers and boaters, don't use the highways for their recreation. They do use lots of fuel and in doing so pay highway taxes. While farmers and loggers get their tax money back for off-road activities, OHV users agreed to forego their refunds if the state would direct that money to things such as trails, groomers and boat ramps.
In 1972, the Idaho Legislature passed a law dedicating 2 percent of the gas tax to recreation and in 1983 increased the figure to 3 percent. This amounts to $4.8 million annually, all of it dedicated to the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation for waterway improvements, off-road trails, park roads and bridges and search and rescue. This amount of money is not much in terms of solving Idaho's highway problems, but is huge for recreation and for all the rural communities that benefit from motorized recreation.
And benefit they do. For example, a recently completed economic impact study by the University of Idaho found that motorized recreation provides 4 percent of the total jobs in Valley County. In addition, $2.6 million in personal income and $7.4 million in unmargined sales (lodging and restaurants) are directly or indirectly created by snowmobiling. In Island Park the 500 miles of internationally known snowmobile trails, the five trail groomers and drags valued at $1 million and the $75,000 grooming shed were a direct result of the recreation gas tax. Throw in the economic benefits from boating and summer OHV users and one can easily see how essential these gas tax funded recreation programs are to the economies of rural communities from Priest Lake to Island Park. These communities, like hundreds of others, have made the transition from resource extraction dependence to recreation dependent economies.
If recreation is not funded, where do they go next?
Interestingly enough at a time when we are doing everything possible to protect what is left of our economy, the governor and legislators come up with a deal that strips away a fair and equitable program that has been in existence for more than 40 years, a program that improves Idahoans' quality of life and benefits the economy without the use of any general tax funds.
The only good news in this sad story is that the legislature chose not to implement this plan until July of 2010. They appointed a Legislative Task Force made up of four senators and four representatives to identify "alternative dedicated funding" for IDPR to replace the gas tax. If they fail to name another dedicated source then IDPR would be funded out of the general fund, competing with schools, prisons, Medicaid and others for the few precious state dollars. After two meetings, to no one's surprise, the task force has not identified a single workable alternative.
The Idaho Recreation Council, a coalition of snowmobile, ATV, dirt motorcycle, 4X4, equestrians, mountain bike, jet boat and backcountry pilots, has undertaken a statewide campaign entitled, "We Want Our Gas Tax Back" to convince the 2010 legislature to fix the mess created when political wills collided.
Through the hard work of many recreationists in Idaho, we earned a small victory when the Legislative Task Force dealing with finding alternative funding passed a motion to delay a decision until July 1, 2011. Then Senator Cameron proposed that the task force send a letter with their recommendation that states the intent of the committee is to restore OHV gas tax monies to IDPR. So while we've earned this victory, we must stay vigilant and ensure that they follow through on their promises. Stay tuned.
(Mitchell is on the steering committee representing snowmobiling for the Idaho Recreation Council. You can reach her at: P.O. Box 70001, Boise, ID 83707, firstname.lastname@example.com, 208-424-3870 or 888-342-6976.)

Gather your hoses and zip ties. 2. Start to bend a hose and zip tie into thicker sections, bending it around and around as you go. 3. Once you get a solid center for your oval or circle, cut the hose and start adding another colored hose! 4. As you go, do not to pull the zip tie to tight. Just enough to hold the hose securely to the previous row. 5. Put the zip ties as far apart as you'd like: it will change the final look! The average shown is about 4 inches apart. 6. As you continue, it'll take some time! If your hands are getting tired, use needle nose pliers to fasten the zip ties. 7. Clip all the ends! This final product was made with 4 different hoses; but you can do all sorts of custom variations!

Walter Salles' The Motorcycle Diaries is a baffling, beautiful film based on the diaries of Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna). It is baffling because it refuses to be political despite the fact that its protagonist was one of the most radical revolutionaries of the 20th century. The Motorcycle Diaries instead introduces us to the lesser known facts about Guevara's life and the horny tedium of his youth.
The time is 1952 and the young Argentine is about to set out on a road trip to discover South America on a 1939 Norton 500—that is part of the description given in the official film synopsis. But there is only so much that can be done with that premise before it turns into a mockery, and until the film's release the question about how Che's story would be handled remained unanswered—stereotypes and ignorance historically abound when Tinseltown takes on south-of-the-border culture. So, when it was announced that Salles and Robert Redford were involved in the project there was a sense of great relief. Alas, it was only temporary. What we get, ultimately, is a charming but misguided road film.
The focus of The Motorcycle Diaries is not Che the Marxist guerilla or Cuban revolution but rather the eccentricities and ambiguities of youth. There is nothing in this film dealing with Guevara's fury and violent political philosophy, which would ultimately pledge itself to only one principle: the desire to die for the utopian dream. We don't see the machismo and morbid abandon that contributed to his greatest and most frightening achievements as a guerilla fighter. Not one trace of fanaticism and recklessness, unless you consider plunging into the Amazon River or throwing a rock at a truck outside an American-owned copper mine an act of insurrection.
We are denied the whole man. In this regard the film becomes a voluptuous narrative devoid of any revolutionary context. As for the true nature of Guevara, this is clearly revealed in one of his most famous remarks: "I am neither Christ nor philanthropist...I am the complete opposite of a Christ...I fight with whatever arms I have at hand for what I believe in, and try to destroy my opponent rather than letting myself be nailed to a cross or anywhere else."
The Motorcycle Diaries is not audacious enough—it is too childish and free spirited for its own good. The film travels high and wide, and its destinations—Argentina, Chile, Peru, Venezuela—are as varied as its emotional moods, but nothing hints at the tragic things to come. Every frame has been cleansed in order to fit current prejudices and nostalgia. The plot is too lighthearted and dispassionate, there's too much gratuitous playfulness, and everything is held back in order to engage our sympathies. Gael Garcia Bernal is too beautiful. In fact, had he been any prettier this movie could have been called The Diaries Of Don Juan. Garcia Bernal is a fine actor and he possesses the inquisitive passion to carry any film, but there are too many wide smiles diluting Guevara's grave gaze in this performance.
We are captivated with the landscape and its people (who materialize from all over, unexpectedly giving the film a doc

Earlier this week, Apple announced that sales of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) during its launch month topped sales for its predecessor. At the same time, ZDNet's George Ou says the Mac OS, which customers perceive as more secure than other operating systems, actually had more publicly reported vulnerabilities in 2007 than Windows XP or Windows Vista:
I used vulnerability statistics from an impartial third party vendor, Secunia, and I broke them down by Windows XP flaws, Vista flaws, and Mac OS X flaws. Since Secunia doesn't offer individual numbers for Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.4, I merged the XP and Vista vulnerabilities so that we can compare Vista + XP flaws to Mac OS X ... So this shows that Apple had more than 5 times the number of flaws per month than Windows XP and Vista in 2007, and most of these flaws are serious.
However, as ZDNet UK writer Tom Espiner points out in this piece, many people don't think the number of vulnerabilities an OS has is an accurate measure of its security. For example, he says:
Tristan Nitot, president of Mozilla Europe, told ZDNet.co.uk this month that it was more important to take into account the time it takes to patch vulnerabilities.
The amount of exploit code available is also relevant, and Mac OS X exploit code "in the wild" is rare, says Espiner.

Xerox Premier Partners Help Put the Love Back In New York Tourism
Monday, June 02, 2008
Press release from the issuing company(May 31, 2008) Can the latest one-to-one marketing techniques help tourists love New York even more? That became a rhetorical question for more than 350 hospitality and travel professionals attending the 2008 New York State Governor's Tourism Conference at the Sagamore in Lake George, N.Y. May 14 to 16. The conference, themed "Re-imagine your New York," coincided with the re-launch of the state's "I Love New York" campaign, and featured contributions from two members of Xerox's Graphic Arts Premier Partners, a global network of 725 leading digital print providers, including 31 in New York State.
"One-to-one marketing is now best practice in marketing," said Julie Anixter, chief marketing officer of laga, a Cincinnati-based design and innovation agency, in one of her two conference presentations on branding. "Tourism British Columbia increased the return on its marketing investment by 25 percent with some smart customized marketing," she said. "I'm telling you this not to show you what to do tomorrow, but to show you what is possible."
New York State is employing one-on-one marketing as part of its new tourism campaign. For the first time, consumers will be able to customize travel brochures by downloading them from www.iloveny.com. Site visitors will indicate geographical locations, activities and events for which they are interested and will be given the option to print a PDF version of the brochure in their own home or have the customized piece mailed to them.
Both of Anixter's presentations were supported by conference sponsor, the Xerox Premier Partners. Two individual Premier Partners helped bring her story to life:
· Mike Hoffman, director, Strategic Accounts, RI Communications Group, a Xerox Premier Partner in New York City, attended the conference to help Anixter describe one-to-one marketing programs RI Communications runs for Disney. One initiative has helped Disney to dramatically reduce reservation cancellations through the use of highly personalized welcome packages.
· Tucker Printers, a Xerox Premier Partner in Rochester, N.Y., printed a 16-page brochure template that was distributed at both of Anixter's sessions to help attendees envision their own personalized print pieces. The brochure, printed on a Xerox iGen3® 110 Digital Production Press, invites interested companies to download the template free-of-charge for their use at www.thinkremarkable.com/iloveny.
In addition, Frank Gumpert Printing, Annapolis, Maryland, printed a customized "I Love New York" cover on its Xerox DocuColor 5000 Digital Press for the best-selling book Anixter co-authored, The Big Moo. The book was a free gift to all who attended her interactive wrap-up session May 16, where Anixter also signed the book.
"It was awesome," said Zechariah Agyeno, president, GuestPass International, discussing Anixter's closing presentation. "She got me thinking so much about what I can do to develop my brand."
Xerox Corporation has a long history in New York State. Xerography was invented in Astoria, Queens, in 1938. Xerox maintained its headquarters in Rochester, N.Y. through 1969, and still has substantial operations there, including manufacturing, marketing, engineering and research and development operations.

The investigation announced on Tuesday follows complaints from rival search engines that Google put them at a disadvantage in both its regular and sponsored search results, by listing links to their sites below references to its own services in an attempt to shut them out of the market.
View of the WikiLeaks homepage taken in Washington on November 28, 2010.The leaked memos describe a Chinese government bid to hack into Google, plans to reunite the Korean peninsula after the Norths eventual collapse, and quote Saudi Arabias king as saying the United States should bomb Iran to halt its nuclear drive, telling it to cut off the head of the snake
The European Commission will also probe whether Google prevented advertising partners from placing ads from competitors on their sites. Competitors allegedly shut out include computer and software vendors, the commission said.
The investigation does not imply any wrongdoing by Google, but shows that the antitrust watchdog is taking the complaints seriously enough to launch an in-depth examination of the company's practices. Google has maintained that it hasn't done anything wrong.
"Since we started Google we have worked hard to do the right thing by our users and our industry – ensuring that ads are always clearly marked, making it easy for users and advertisers to take their data with them when they switch services, and investing heavily in open source projects," Google said in an emailed statement.
"But there's always going to be room for improvement, and so we'll be working with the Commission to address any concerns." ( AP )
