The Tenured
They always throw it in your face why they should this or that waived but NEVER know how long the've been a customer. It always comes out something like: "Well, I've been a customer for I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG..." Really? If you can't throw a ball park figure at me, why should I care??? :roll:

Re: I HATE MY JOB!
agreed! How long have you been at a call center?
Anyone else noticed?
The level of customer service has SERIOUSLY seemed to have gotten worse ever since the proposed acquisition announcement. I've never had so many little issues with my service and have had repeatedly encoutered incompetent customer service and technical support reps. I mean...I know I'm not the only one, one of my co-workers was advised that she in fact DOES use her data while on wi-fi and it simply makes her data speeds faster, by a "supervisor"...wtf!?! I mean NO ...
Re: So what are all you T-Mobile people gonna do...
Wrong...I wanted the cheapest most reliable service in my area (I rarely travel) and that's what I got and continue to get. Oddly though, ever since the "announcement" customer service seems to have gotten worse for some reason. This coming from a 6 year customer, and happy customer up until now. It's almost as though they are all giving up or something. If and when I leave T-Mobile, it will most surely be a direct reflection on their decrease ...

Re: Dear iPhone 5,
Correct me if I'm wrong but as a saves/retention agent, it's within his duties to come up with any kind of bullsh!t reason customers should stay, he can't just cancel them and be done with it...hence his frustration. /;|

I'm all for helping customers...so when someone asks for assistance to block a number I always look in the device manual for auto-reject features. Majority of phones (with the almost exlusive exception of iPhones :roll: ) have a native menu option to do so, you wouldn't believe how many people refuse to be TAUGHT how to reject calls automatically and DEMAND a free number change. I mean c'mon! I tell it to them like this, "By rejecting people's ...

The first menorah candle is lit at sundown today, commemorating the first day of Hanukkah in 2013. The Festival of Lights is spelled many different ways, including Chanukah.
ADVANCE NOTICE FOR TOMORROW: It is a rare year when Hanukkah has its first full day on Thanksgiving. Some have coined the term Thanksgivukkah. The two holidays last converged in 1861, before Thanksgiving was officially celebrated, and - get this - they won't converge again for about 75,000 years!
Tie One On Day is always celebrated on the day before Thanksgiving. EllynAnne Geisel, the holiday's creator, writes, "On the day before Thanksgiving... pause in the preparation of your own meal, wrap a loaf of bread or other baked good in an apron, tuck a prayer or note of encouragement in the pocket, and tie one on...an apron, of course! and deliver the wrapped bundle to someone without your bounty... a neighbor, friend or family member in need of physical or spiritual sustenance, a bit of recognition or just a kind word." What a lovely sentiment, invoking the true spirit of the season!
Pins and Needles Day sounds like just another novelty holiday, celebrating either anticipation or that feeling you get when your circulation has been cut off. Actually, the holiday commemorates the anniversary of the opening performance of the only union-produced musical, called Pins and Needles.
If you've had enough pumpkin pie for a while, or if you've simply run out, try something different today in honor of National Bavarian Cream Pie Day.

(BLOOMFIELD) - A 35-year-old Jasonville man, wanted in a disturbing case involving rape and incest, is finally behind bars.
David L. Scank was arrested around 1 p.m. Friday.
Police have been looking for Scank for a long time - a warrant was issued for his arrest on May 16, 2013. In the days following, police were unable to locate Scank and suspected he had fled the state.
Shortly before Scank's arrest, the Greene County Prosecutor's Office filed a petition in Greene Superior Court increase Scank's bond to $100,000 cash.
Scank is accused of a sexual assault believed to have occurred at a location outside Jasonville in January of 2013.
The victim submitted to a sexual assault examination and Scank's DNA was recovered.
Scank appeared in Greene Superior Court Monday and was charged with rape by force or imminent threat of force and incest
Scank told the judge he wanted to ask for a speedy trial. He was advised to speak to his attorney about that.
That he was not employed and the last time he was employed was in Texas a couple of years ago. He said he had no children, no source of income, no savings, no real estate and no vehicle.
The judge appointed a public defender to represent him.
If Scank should make bond, he was ordered to have no contact with the victim in the case.

Review Roundup: Encores! Off-Center's PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES
Pump Boys and Dinettes, the final production of the 2014 Encores! Off-Center series, stars Jordan Dean, Hunter Foster, Mamie Parris, Randy Redd, Katie Thompson and Lorenzo Wolff. Pump Boys and Dinettes began performances last night, July 16.
Continuing through July 19, the production is directed by Lear deBessonet and choreographed by Danny Mefford. Jeanine Tesori is the Encores! Off-Center artistic director; Chris Fenwick is the music director.
Pump Boys and Dinettes was conceived, written and performed by John Foley, Mark Hardwick, Debra Monk, Cass Morgan, John Schimmel and Jim Wann. A hybrid of country, rock and pop music, Pump Boys is the story of four gas station attendants and two waitresses at a small-town dinette in North Carolina.
Let's see what the critics had to say...
Charles Isherwood, The New York Times: The new production, featuring a cast of likable and versatile actor-musicians led by the veteran Hunter Foster, has been shined up nicely but still maintains a loose, down-home vibe...Although "Pump Boys and Dinettes" still makes for a genial entertainment...it naturally doesn't feel quite as fresh as it must have in 1981, before Broadway had become awash in musicals drawing on the rock and pop charts for inspiration...But while some of the novelty may have worn off, this glossy and good-natured production, directed by Lear deBessonet...still hums along like a vintage Mustang that's just had a full tuneup. Whether or not Broadway beckons -- and Lord knows the environment there has changed mightily since the 1980s -- there's plenty of mileage in this vehicle yet.
Jesse Green, Vulture: Can friendliness be baked into a song, the way peaches are in a pie? On the evidence of Pump Boys and Dinettes, the final presentation of the Encores! Off-Center series this summer, the answer is yes. More a country-music revue than a musical, Pump Boys offers a series of relentlessly ingratiating clap-alongs that melt sophistication as if it were a pat of butter on a steaming biscuit. Sorry for the grits-and-gravy imagery, but after sitting through the show's 19 numbers -- rockabilly paeans to roadside culture, a cappella hymns to catfishing, twangy odes to Mamaw, boot-scooting two-steps, and honkytonk declarations of a mostly notional ideal of female empowerment -- my New York brain is basically Southern-fried.
Joe Dziemianowicz, New York Daily News: Foster, who's warm and folksy and plays a mean guitar, makes a tune about a beloved grandmother very sweet. Redd has magic fingers on the piano and shines on his goofy number about a farmer tan. Thompson's wonderful, whisky-flavored vocals are intoxicating on the insistent "Be Good or Be Gone." Parris packs yearning into "The Best Man" -- about the one that got away. Songs tick off with little talking in between. When characters do speak, it's often to theatergoers...The show loses steam in the second act and, in the end, isn't really about much in particular, except having a good ol' time. This Encores! Off-Center musical series presentation delivers in spades -- and spatulas and spoons.
Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post: The charm, sadly, doesn't entirely come through in the show that opened Wednesday. The six actor/musicians in Lear deBessonet's production are all likable and game, even if Hunter Foster should ease up on the "good ol' boy" parts -- this is his third in a row. At the same time, the ensemble lacks star power and can't lift the pleasant but innocuous material...Donyale Werle's elaborate, tchotchke-filled set -- a combo of diner and gas station -- holds our attention more than the songs do.
Matt Windman, AM New York: Director Lear DeBessonet, who has won acclaim for her inventive work with the Public Theater, offers a cozy, friendly, unexpectedly intimate staging. That being said, the show, which runs 90 minutes even with an intermission, now feels underwhelming and underdeveloped. Without the original cast, its novelty value is gone. But in light the growing trend of immersive theater, a new production that places the audience literally within the gas station and diner might be successful. The cast could even serve coffee and pie.
David Finkle, The Huffington Post: Yes. Absolutely. No question. If you can get to City Center anytime through this weekend to see Pump Boys and Dinettes, which is the third and last of Encores! Off-Center summer series, go. It's way too entertaining to pass up...Everyone in attendance will have his or her favorite ditty...Thompson and Parris have voices that could get them hefty Nashville contracts. Jordan and Wolff aren't only proficient musicians but know how to get humor into their vigorous strumming. Redd offers honky-tonk piano that's so Jerry Lee Lewis you wish he'd bring out a CD. Then there's his accordion stretching. By now, theater audiences know the breadth of Foster's stage abilities, not a one scanted here.

It is summer holiday for school now so for the first time, my son is at home. Crispy snacks can always come handy when you have a bored young child around. Rather than buying them, I thought I should give it a try myself. Afterall, it may not hurt too much to fry now and then. I picked something easy and this was it. Also, my son's friend's gran had made this and after trying them my son asked me to make some. What I loved about what I made is it tasted quite like 'kai muruku', the one shaped with hand without the labour of sitting down to shape them. Hope you like it as well. It is one of the 'batchanams' made for Krishna Jayanthi and even Diwali. Here is the recipe...
3 cups rice flour (I used store bought rice flour)
1 cup besan flour
Salt to taste
Dash of asafoetida
1 teaspoon chilly powder
3 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon ghee
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
Oil for deep frying
Sift the flours together and add chilly powder, asafoetida, sesame seeds and salt
Heat the three tablespoons of oil, ghee and add it to the flour mixture and mix to form crumb like consistency. Heated oil and ghee are used to amke sure the murukus come out crispy. Rather check the seasoning at this stage than later
Add water slowly to make a soft dough. The dough must be soft enough to be able to be forced through the mould. Rather add water little by little so it does not become to soft. Also, check the consistency by putting it into the mould and see if it comes out without problem. What you do not want is, hard dough struggling to come out and eventually forces the mould open and falls into hot oil splashing it all over you and the kitchen!
Use the star shaped mould and make murukus on a ladle as shown. This can be slipped into hot oil for frying. Check if oil is ready by putting a small piece of dough in. It is ready if it emerges up quickly. It does not have to be perfectly shaped, so you can even press it directly into the oil in random shape.
Fry both sides until golden, drain and keep aside
Cool completely before putting in airtight boxes.

Fee increases for U.S. immigration applications seem to come down the pike with depressing regularity. The U.S. government raises the fees, a hue and cry ensues, everyone eventually gets accustomed to the new, higher amounts for immigration applications, and then the immigration authorities come along with a new argument for why they need even more money.
This time, however, it could be different. As in, worse.
Under the current version of proposed immigration reform being debated in the Senate, raises to immigration fees appear to be the primary strategy for paying for the $40 billion in new border security (fencing, guards, etc.) mandated under the new law.
As described in "Fee Hikes an Overlooked Aspect of Proposed Immigration Reform," that means not only the usual fee raises, but possibly more if the government finds that the amount that can be amassed from the usual stream of immigrants' applications for green cards, visas, and so forth just isn't filling the coffers sufficiently.
Exactly which fees might be raised? The proposed legislation names many nonimmigrant visas, including H-1B, H-2B, L-1, F-1, B-1/B-2, and J-1, as well various waivers and the new types of immigration benefits or green cards created under the reform proposal (such as the "blue card"). The proposed law also, however, contains a blanket statement that if the fees from these applications (including fee raises) do not bring in enough, surcharges can be placed on any other type of application for a visa or green card.
To view the levels at which immigration fees are already set, see the "Forms" page of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, and articles on Nolo's website such as "How Much It Costs to Get a Green Card by Adjustment of Status" and "How Much It Costs to Get a Green Card by Consular Processing." They're already substantial.
If you're short on cash, the lesson is clear: Apply for your visa or green card now, if you can! Get that job offer, hurry up your wedding, or whatever it takes.

DONALD E. ASHE, Hampden County Register of Deeds depicted above with Guy McLain, director of the Museum of Springfield History and the Connecticut Valley Historical Museum, and Richard Stevens, founder of the Duryea Transportation Society at the Museum of Springfield History on May 18, 2010.
Register Ashe was treated to a personal tour of the newly opened MUSEUM OF SPRINGFIELD HISTORY on May 18th by Guy McLain and Richard Stevens. Mr. Stevens is founding president of the Duryea Transportation Society and has been a driving force in bringing out the most important role Springfield played in our transportation history as the Duryea was the first gasoline powered car in America and was produced in 1893 in Springfield by J. Frank Duryea at 47 Taylor Street, now known as Duryea Way.
Many other Springfield "firsts" are on display there such as the Indian Motorcycles and Rolls Royce automobiles that were also manufactured in Springfield. The GeeBee airplane manufactured here by the Granville Brothers can also be seen.
Guy McLain has done an outstanding job of creating the MUSEUM OF SPRINGFIELD HISTORY.
Take the time to treat yourself to a fascinating look at our city's proud past. Perhaps you will get an idea for our future while there.

Springfield's Connection to the Vanderbilts Thanks to the Duryea Automobile
On March 15, 2010, Vanity Fair magazine featured an article, "Driving with the Vanderbilt's II", about the son of the world's richest man at the turn of the century, George Vanderbilt. His estate, Biltmore, located outside Asheville, North Carolina, at 175,000 square feet, remains the largest private residence in America.
George Vanderbilt was focused on "automobiling" as his favorite passion. He had six cars registered at his estate. Only one remains and it is a great rarity. "A handsome and huge seven-passenger 1913 Stevens-Duryea Model C6 Touring". The cost of this luxurious auto new was over $5,000.00, or the equivalent of $111,000.00 in today's currency. The company's motto was "There is No Better Motor Car". Therefore, George Vanderbilt definitely had to have one!

How much would someone have to pay you before you willingly swapped your phone for a BlackBerry? The Canadian handset maker is hoping the number in your head is less than £380 because that's what it's prepared to hand over for the privilege.
There are a couple of catches, though: first, you have to be North American; second, you have to buy a BlackBerry Passport.
Once a Passport is ordered on the company's website or Amazon, the purchaser has to send proof of purchase (and their iPhone to BlackBerry) and the company will send out a prepaid Visa card with $600 on it within six weeks.
Offering promotions to get people to switch phones isn't unprecedented, but this is a new, intense and frankly kind of sad level for the once-mighty purveyor of keyboarded phones. The Passport isn't a bad phone, but it's so undesirable that BlackBerry is dangling cash to get people to use it. I cannot imagine this is a good business model.
Then again, as Bobby Dylan once sang, "If you've got nothing, you've got nothing left to lose." BlackBerry is at introspective-yet-confrontational folk rock levels of "fuck it" right now.
At this point, BlackBerry can't revive itself by making a solid but unfortunately and inescapably square-shaped smartphone and hoping people will like it again. It needs to do something far more drastic. At least the company is aware it needs to do something splashy. [CBC]

Police S cotland, assisted by Roads Policing Units, is cracking down on anti-social driving with a road safety campaign in North Marr.
Officers have been taking action against anti-social and irresponsible driving on rural routes, under the Operation Collinsville initiative.
This has been a really positive initiative to improve road safety.Inspector Martin Burgess
The campaign targeted areas of Huntly and Alford between January and the end of March following concerns raised by the local community.
Road traffic patrols and road traffic checks were conducted in various locations in the Huntly and Alford areas as well as on the A96, A944 and A97.
In total, 37 drivers were cautioned and charged in relation to a number of road traffic offences including speeding, failing to obey traffic signals, using a mobile phone and not having a valid MOT. Additionally, 263 drivers were stopped and educated about their driving, including for issues such as anti-social driving and lighting offences.
The initiative forms part of Aberdeenshire and Moray Division's wider road safety campaign, Operation CEDAR, which aims to improve road safety across the division's roads.
Constable Sarah Grant of the Marr Community Policing Team said: "Operation Collinsville has been a real success in the North Marr area and has helped promote better driving standards on some of our rural roads which will further reduce road collisions and casualties. We rely on support and information from members of the community and this operation is in direct response to feedback we have received. I would encourage the public to continue to support us by reporting anti-social driving in our towns, villages and we will continue to conduct these road safety initiatives to ensure our roads and communities are safe.
"I have been delighted by the positive response from the public to this operation within North Marr. Local officers were instructed to educate where possible and only take more formal action if deemed necessary. By dealing with minor road traffic offences through education it is hoped that those spoken to will consider their driving standards and understand that we are trying to keep people safe."
Marr Community Policing Team Inspector Martin Burgess concluded: "This has been a really positive initiative to improve road safety on the roads in the North Marr area and as a result, we will be running similar campaigns across the Marr area over the coming months. Although this phase of Operation Collinsville has come to an end, local officers will continue to patrol the roads and take appropriate action and so I would encourage people to come forward with any concerns they may have."
Anyone who witnesses examples of dangerous, careless or anti-social driving is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101or via the website www.scotland.police.uk or if they wish to remain anonymous via the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Wedding photographer David Ziser show us, at his blog DigitalProTalk, a very nice example of one of his wedding techniques where he demonstrates a different approach to photograph weddings with multiple strobes.
I confess that I'm not into weddings, yet, but the multiple strobe part caught my eye.
He explains the technique so well, with some examples and diagrams it's a must.
Take a look...
David explains:
"In this video tutorial, I'll walk you through my tried and true techniques for getting the best light on the wedding candids.
For candids to look better than good, you need to light your subject with a highlight next to a shadow. It is only then do we get the detail, depth, dimension, and color saturation in our images that separates the men and women from the boys and girls.
It's light that makes them pop out of the background finally giving your images that 3-dimensional polish they deserve."
Feel free to add your comments to the video.
Thank you David Ziser for the wonderful video and keep them coming.

text: I quite enjoyed this book. I really liked the character of Jake, who I felt I knew very well from the stories told from his past and all his thoughts and feelings. I don't usually like male narrators but this was done very well. The story was also told from the viewpoint of Harry and Kate at times. Harry was a brilliant character to hate, as all his thoughts corresponded with his evil actions, so it was easy to dislike him. However, I didn't feel as attached to Kate as I should have done. I couldn't really sympathise with her that much when she couldn't come clean to Jake about being a journalist instead of a waitress, and I felt he forgave her far too easily. Also, when he banged his head and temporarily forgot who she really was, it was difficult to tell when and exactly what he remembered. Other than that, I liked the storyline and the style of writing. I give it 8/10.

By Christy Houghton
|Christopher Carter
Christopher has been an elected leader at the homeless camp, and speaks with sincerity and conviction. One of the first things I learn about him is that he's on a personal mission.
"God Delivered Me from a Terrible Stutter"Christopher said he'd had a bad stutter for most of life. He worked in construction as a general contractor, building houses in Oklahoma. In 2013, a traveling evangelist sent him a text, telling him to read Jeremiah 33:3. At this point, Christopher paused, and I looked at him questioningly. He just repeated, "Jeremiah 33:3." He went home and read the whole chapter.
When Christopher went to share what he'd read with his friend Theresa, she interrupted him, saying, "Christopher, you don't stutter no more." From that time on, Christopher says, "God delivered me from a terrible stutter, and has given me a beautiful voice." It made his mother cry, when he first spoke to her without that stutter.
I didn't learn what was in that Bible verse until I got home and looked it up. "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." – Jeremiah 33:3
He Needed to Go to Tent City 3In 2015 Christopher helped a friend of his move from Oklahoma to Arlington, Washington. From there, he felt called to go to Santa Monica, California. The police picked him up on the side of the Interstate, telling him that he couldn't walk down it. You can do that in some other states, but not in Washington. In Downtown Seattle, where the police dropped him off, Christopher had planned on getting a couple day's work for a bus ticket to Santa Monica.
Someone he'd recently met at the Bread of Life Mission downtown interrupted a conversation with someone else not just once, but three separate times, to tell Christopher that he needed to go to Tent City 3. So, that's what he did. "Years ago, I told the Father, if You need to use me or move me, give it to me in threes or sevens." Camp United We Stand was founded by Christopher and some others who were at Tent City 3.
"This is where God wants me."Christopher would prefer living in permanent housing, but he says, "This is where God wants me." Drawing on his construction background, he recently designed a new type of shelter made from thick Styrofoam insulation material. These shelters, called BOBs (Built On Blessings), are easy to build, relatively inexpensive, and collapsible for moving. Once tarped, they're warmer and drier than a tent.
Christopher has also been working on building a "bath house", a foam structure with a real bath and shower using a donated tub. "The foam house is just a rest stop on my journey." Christopher has a bigger vision.
"Homelessness isn't something that gets fixed, it needs to be healed."Christopher says he never felt the need of the homeless while he was living in a house. He never felt it until he came here. "Homelessness isn't something that gets fixed, it needs to be healed. Permanent housing can help with that. If every church has housing structures, people who need a place to live can come to their local church instead of going downtown where the drugs are." Christopher has a personal mission to talk with each church in the area, asking them to reserve part of their property for people in their community who become homeless. His vision is that each church, according to its size would have portable but permanent housing.
In the future, Christopher plans to keep going wherever he's led, to wherever he's needed, to wherever his mission points.
NOTE: Since Christy's interview with Christopher, he has left Camp United We Stand. Several of his BOBs, however, are still standing at the camp. If you are interested in seeing this innovative new structure, feel free to stop by to visit. You can find the camp's current location at http://greaterseattlecares.org/encampments/location-hosts/.

Yale "Blaze" (11mm)
User reviews

Best value rope on market
Best value rope on the market. Bandit and Blaze are fairly inexpensive but offer great performance. Some bounce and stretch on SRT climbs. Small 11mm is light weight and compact. Great rope to take up into the tree with you. Also a great rope to have in your backpack for back county climbs. I'm currently using this rope for my primary climb line and my lanyard. 11mm size can be hard on large hands. This rope does milk quite a bit....
Blaze 11mm
love this rope. I borrowed a friend's and have been coveting it ever since. Nice and lightweight and durable. When it gets old, it makes for great-looking mats!
Blaze 11mm -
I only have experience with two 11mm climbing lines - this one and Samson's Velocity. I wanted to add a quick affirmation to what has been stated: This stuff knots incredibly well and feels really soft and supple. It's a joy to work with.
Whereas the Velocity, in contrast, is much harder to set knots in.
At this point in time I am only using 11mm line for tails and such, like tying a Klemheist for secure footlock or as a rope bridge for my equivalent of a "quick draw" with a carabiner on each end to give me more length when climbing with a v.t. I don't like the smaller diameter in my hands as a lifeline.
But I had to emphasize that Blaze is really a perfect line for tying, handling, and looking at too.
My second climbing rope (first rope was NE Safety Blue); I've had this about a year. I'm using the green "Chameleon" version.
This is what I usually take with me to climb these days, especially if I'm hiking into the woods. The light weight is nice, and the diameter is just right for SRT climbing hardware (I climb a lot with a RADS/yoyo system, especially for research). It feels nice and smooth in the hands, and it's quite supple so that tying knots is easy. For DdRT, I still prefer the Safety Blue - that extra bit of diameter makes the Safety Blue easier on the hands, especially since I've never picked up the habit of wearing gloves while climbing - but this works just fine, either tied traditional or with a 10mm beeline split tail. It seems to be somewhat less durable; after about a year of irregular use it shows more wear than the 2 1/2 year old Safety Blue, but it looks like I'll be able to keep using it for a few years yet.
Nice rope. I may get another one whenever this wears out.
Yale "Blaze" rope
Nick recommended this rope to replace my old "Sportline" and I am very happy with the quality of the material. Easy to see in the tree due to the bright color. Fairly resistant to abrasion and it hold up fine so far. Very light weight and easy to roll up into the storage bags after use. It does not tangle up that much and it does not deform while in use like my old rope. I recomend to get one end professionally spliced. It makes for a superior climbing rope.

Improving Service to the Public
- Initiatives Improved Pro Se Litigants' Access to Courts: As part of ongoing efforts to improve public access to the courts for pro se filers, the Judiciary is pursuing several initiatives based on two Federal Judicial Center (FJC) reports that surveyed the available programs and materials designed to assist pro se litigants in district courts. It is hoped the surveys' results, shared with all district courts, will encourage adoption of best practices that can assist courts with heavy pro se workloads and reduce work for chambers' and clerks' offices.
- eJuror Program Saves Time and Money: Currently, 71 district courts are live on eJuror, a web-based self-service component of the Jury Management System (JMS). JMS allows courts to qualify, summon, manage, and track jurors. Courts are reporting steady increases in the percentage of jury participants choosing to use the online system instead of mailing in forms or communicating by phone. Communicating with jurors by e-mail saves postage costs and eliminates delays. With eJuror, jurors can go online to complete qualification questionnaires, summons information forms, and pre-screening questionnaires; query status and reporting information; request excuses and deferments and complete exit surveys. The module is user-friendly, flexible, and allows local configuration.
- National Efforts Improve Juror Utilization Rates: The national average of jurors not selected, serving or challenged (NSSC) on the first day of jury service was 37 percent for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2012. This compares favorably with 37.9 percent for the prior 12-month period, 39.0 percent for 2010, and 40.1 percent for 2009. The most recent year-to-year decline in the percentage of jurors NSSC equates to a Judiciary savings of approximately $300,000. More importantly, it resulted in 3,450 potential jurors not being brought to a courthouse unnecessarily.
- Revised Model Instructions Explain Social Media Concerns: The Judicial Conference Committee on Court Administration and Case Management updated the model set of jury instructions (pdf) federal judges use to deter jurors from using social media to research or communicate about cases. The new guidelines provide detailed explanations of the consequences of social media use during a trial, along with recommendations for repeated reminders of the ban on social media usage. The update comes in response to a national survey of federal trial judges.
2012 Telephone Interpreting Events (TIP)
- Total FY 2012 TIP events: 3,972
- Total languages interpreted: 42
- Districts receiving TIP services: 56
- Locations/divisions receiving services: 105
- Events covered by staff interpreters: 3,151 of the 3,972 total TIP events.
- Totals FY 2012 savings using TIP: $1,214,005
Expanded Telephone Interpreting Program (TIP) Provides Interpreters: Since 2001, the Judiciary's Telephone Interpreting Program (TIP) has provided remote simultaneous and consecutive interpreting in approximately 39,000 events, saving an estimated $12.1 million in travel and contract costs. Approved by the Conference in 1994, TIP is intended for short federal court proceedings where "certified" or "otherwise qualified" court interpreters are not locally available. TIP significantly increases the likelihood that the courts will use "certified" or "highly qualified" interpreters, improving the administration of justice.
For every TIP event using Spanish, the interpreter is federally certified; in 55 percent of those events, the provider is a staff court interpreter. There are 10 district courts with staff court interpreters that currently provide TIP services to 56 districts in 105 locations. In FY 2012, TIP use increased to over 3,972 events, thereby increasing savings to an estimated $1.2 million.
In FY 2011, the AO migrated the online TIP scheduling system from the Central District of California to the AO and is now providing operational and maintenance support. The system is used for scheduling all TIP services for participating courts and for collecting statistical data on TIP use. The AO is researching new technologies to improve the courtroom and provider-court telephone systems. Possible replacement equipment, which will improve sound quality and use the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), has been identified and is set to be piloted in a district court in FY 2013.
- Interpreted Languages Top 10: In FY 2012, district courts reported that they used interpreters in 325,257 events, compared to 325,921 events reported in FY 2011. Spanish remains the most-used language for interpreters in the courts and accounted for 96.7 percent of all reported events in 2012, compared with 96.3 percent of events in 2011. Overall, 116 different languages were used in court events during 2012. Other frequently-used languages, in order by number of events, were: Mandarin (1,288); Russian (1,180); Vietnamese (909); Korean (836); Cantonese (628); Arabic (621); Portuguese (373); Romanian (343); Haitian Creole (328).
- Electronic Filing in Federal Courts Now Universal: With the addition in FY 2012 of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, all federal courts now accept electronic filings via the Judiciary's Case Management-Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system. CM/ECF provides courts enhanced and updated docket management and allows courts to maintain case documents in electronic form. It also gives each court the option of permitting case documents—pleadings, motions, petitions—to be filed with the court over the Internet.
Electronic Public Access Program Delivers Court Information: The Electronic Public Access program provides public access to court information through electronic means in accordance with federal statutes, Judiciary policies, and user needs. The Internet-based PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) service provides courts, litigants, and the public with access to dockets, case reports, and over 500 million documents filed in federal courts through the Case Management and Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system. At present, there are more than 1.4 million user accounts, with approximately 13,000 new accounts added each month. In fiscal year 2012 alone, PACER processed over 500 million requests for information.
In September 2011, the Judicial Conference authorized an increase in the Judiciary's electronic public access fee from $.08 to $.10 per page, effective on April 1, 2012, to continue to support and improve electronic public access service, and to develop and implement the next generation of the CM/ECF system. The fee had not been increased since 2005 and, for the previous three fiscal years, the public access program's obligations had exceeded its revenue. The $.10 per page fee is not charged for viewing case information or documents on PACER at public access terminals in the courthouse.
The Conference was mindful of the impact such an increase could have on other public entities and on public users accessing the system to obtain information on a particular case. For this reason, local, state, and federal government agencies will be exempt from the increase for three years. PACER users who do not accrue charges of more than $15 in a quarterly billing cycle are not charged a fee. The Judicial does not charge for access to judicial opinions. Parties to a court case receive a copy of filings in the case at no charge.
Improvements Made to the Electronic Public Access (EPA) Service: The Judiciary continued its efforts to improve the public's access to electronic services by providing two new services in fiscal year 2012: firm billing and electronic tutorials for the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system. The firm billing service will allow organizations to maintain and manage multiple PACER accounts for their employees and still receive a single invoice. Online tutorials focusing on how to use PACER effectively are available to the public on the pacer.gov website. These new services are part of ongoing efforts to increase user satisfaction through improvements to EPA services identified in a 2010 assessment of the EPA program. Work is underway to refresh the assessment to measure the impact of improvements on user satisfaction.
Additionally, the public can stay informed of newly docketed events on PACER through the new automatic case notification, available by subscribing to a court's RSS feed. The feed is free.
- Records Management Project Preserves Historic Files: In March 2012, the Conference approved creation of a new records disposition schedule for the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation and a revision to the records retention schedules for the Court of Federal Claims. While preserving historically significant records, these schedules identify temporary records and provide updated guidance aligned with the courts' present business process. The schedules will go into effect when approved by the National Archives and Records Administration.


text: 4/8/2016 Version 13.1 About the Author Jim Koscs is an automotive journalist and marketing/public relations writer for top brands, including Subaru. Good Things Come in Small Packages By Jim Koscs 4/8/2016 Version 13.1 The 2.0-Liter Direct-Injection Turbo SUBARU BOXER Engine In the past, an automaker would build a high-performance vehicle by installing a larger-displacement engine. But the price for that power infusion was typically more weight, degraded handling, and higher fuel consumption. Subaru never subscribed to the "bigger is better" philosophy and has always sought higher performance through careful powertrain and vehicle optimization. The 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX offered a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine for the U.S. market. Rally-bred, and packing a 227-horsepower punch, the vehicle proved wildly popular. In 2006, the WRX switched to a 2.5-liter engine, delivering 230 horsepower. For the 2009 model year, the WRX gained a significant horsepower boost, to 265, still with the 2.5-liter engine. That EJ series engine ended its run with the 2014 WRX but continues in the WRX STI. The 2015 WRX brought an increase of 3 horsepower and 14 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers seem comparatively small at first glance, but a closer look reveals that Subaru achieved those gains with a smaller-displacement engine that consumed less fuel and reduced carbon emissions. A New Approach to Turbocharging Subaru raised the bar yet again with the turbocharged version in the 2014 Forester XT, which generated 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This engine featured a combination of direct fuel injection, high compression (10.6:1), Subaru Dual Active Valve Control System (DAVCS), twin-scroll turbocharger, and intercooler to deliver both outstanding performance and better fuel efficiency than the 2.5-liter turbo it replaced. The cylinder-cooling effect of direct injection is key to allowing the high compression, which in turn is crucial for providing quick off-the-line response. The WRX 2.0-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine made the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for the second year in a row. Vehicle Series Redline Horsepower Peak Torque PSI Max Turbo Boost 2014 WRX EJ series 6,500 rpm 265 244 lb-ft 14.2 2015-2016 WRX FA series 6,700 rpm 268 @ 5,600 rpm 258 lb-ft (from 2,000 to 5,200 rpm) 15.9 2015-2016 WRX with CVT FA series 6,500 rpm 268 @ 5,600 rpm 258 lb-ft (from 2,000 to 5,200 rpm) 15.9 2014-2016 Forester 2.0 XT FA series 6,000 rpm 268 @ 5,600 rpm 258 lb-ft (from 2,000 to 4,800 rpm) 17.1 Pushing the Performance Envelope Subaru aimed even higher for the 2015 WRX. So they just cranked up the turbo boost, right? Wrong. The 2.0 turbo SUBARU BOXER in the WRX actually uses lower maximum boost than the Forester XT. In the WRX version, different camshafts and higher-rate valve springs, among other enhancements, push the performance envelope even further. More efficient and more powerful than ever, the 2.0 direct-injection turbo SUBARU BOXER engine shows it pays to think small(er).

I wanted to take a few minutes to document the construction of the grounding system for my station which I did a few years ago. This is an often confusing item for newer hams and maybe this will give some ideas that can be used or expanded on by someone else.
The basic design consists of a weather sealed single point box, that all the EMP/lightning arrestors are installed into, and all the antennas come in through that box connected to an arrestor. That box has a ground connection that goes into the shack for a single ground bus inside for connecting the antenna switches and for other inside grounding connections.
I used an aluminum NEMA style weather proof box I was able to find cheap as surplus, to mount all my arrestors. A single ICE HF arrestor is shown in the photo, there is a second ICE Arrestor for VHF, and a Polyphaser HF arrestor mounted in there today. You can see the 2" copper strap was attached directly to the aluminum panel inside the box, and the arrestors are screwed into the box on top of the copper. The copper is polished first using a scotchbrite, and then the arrestors are mounted using coatings of Anti-Oxidant such as that available from IDEAL Industries. This will help ensure a long life electrical connection between the parts.
For the COAX, holes were drilled into the sides, and weatherproof coax connectors were used to seal the coax passthroughs. They worked very well, and are available from DX engineering.
The box is mounted on a PVC pipe put into the soil under the window that leads to the shack which suspends it a few feet off the ground. A ground rod is in the ground just in front and under the single point ground box. The copper strap from the single point box connects to the ground rod underneath it, and an additional copper strap goes through the window into the shack to connect to a grounding bus on the inside.
On the inside, the copper strap passing through the window is mounted to a board that has another copper strap attached to create a grounding bus for things like antenna switches, tuners etc. This photo shows the board sitting on a small desk, but now This board is now mounted to the wall directly under the window with more switches added to it. (You can see a peek of it in one of the photos of the FT-450 Jack Repair Page).
From the main ground rod just below the single point ground NEMA box, there is grounding strap run underground to several other ground rods in a radial pattern at more than 8 feet apart in every direction.
For the other ground rods, a string was pulled to them to make a straight guide line, and then a trench was made for the copper strap a by just wiggling a hand spade/shovel to allow for putting the strap a few inches under the ground.
This was repeated to several more ground rods.
For each one I used a mechanical connection between the copper straps and the ground rods. A good physical clamping connection is the easiest and pretty reliable using the sort of clamps I used which are made for clamping strap, and again the process of polishing all the copper surfaces and coating them with anti-ox before making the mechanical connections was used.
This photo shows the flat clamps used for the strap, and a single wire clamp used for a the #4 wire that was connected to the interior electrical breaker panel.
Since I didn't have enough of the custom strap clamps for all the ground rods, on one of the strap-to-rod connections I used another connection method that someone suggested. It involves forming a tube on the end of the strap and placing over the top of the rod, and then mechanically clamping it into place. This method actually worked pretty well, so if you don't want to spend the money on the strap clamp which are a little expensive, I think that it might be a good way to connect your system. Again, use the same process of polishing all copper surfaces to remove oxidation, and coat with anti-ox compounds before clamping together.
At the ground rod closest to the side towards where the electrical panel is located, a #4 gauge wire was run from the ground rod to the ground bus in the interior electrical breaker panel. This ensures that all ground connections are bonded together and at equal potential. This is an often overlooked step, and is in fact required by national electrical codes(NEC).
When all was completed, I ended up with a fairly decent grounding system for a home radio station, consisting of 5 ground rods all connected to a single point grounding entrance panel.
Here is a layout of the final system after it was completed.

Do You Believe In Magic? – Honouring Them And Their Experience
This series is an intimate visual exploration of the psychedelic festival culture of British Columbia, Canada. It's meant to be playful but also honest. I was trying to communicate something about the experience that I didn't see in the videos or photos of others who cover these festivals. There's something ineffable that happens at these festivals that I wasn't expecting before I went. The experience is so unique and so far outside our normal reality and experience of life. It was like being in an imaginal reality. People escape the constructs of consensus reality and create a magical world to explore previously repressed or unacknowledged parts of themselves. What you discover can change you, can shift your values, and you take this experience back into your everyday life.
Right before I went to my first festival I was in a bit of a funk in my life, feeling somewhat apathetic about the dreary state of the world and was relatively uninspired. An old childhood friend happened to be passing through Toronto and was driving back out to British Columbia, where he had moved over a decade earlier. He talked about these festivals with a lot of passion. I was a bit skeptical and even a little cynical, but the idea of a road trip across the country was definitely appealing. It was about five days of driving across the continent and the trip climaxed with a three-day festival on a mountain. The setting was beautiful and the people had an optimism and playfulness I hadn't experienced in a long time. I had a great time and loved shooting it. The openness and playfulness of the culture really drew me in. Since then I've been going to a few festivals a year and it's become an integral part of my life.
When I started to attend these festivals, my life changed like I could have never imagined. I discovered a sort of magic in the world that I had felt as a child but had grown out of or forgot about. I realized how caged and limited I was by the cynicism I had inevitably adopted from my urban lifestyle. I wanted to share this new experience. To show people there's a whole other way of being in the world, that being grown up doesn't mean you can't have fun or be vulnerable. I think it's easy to dismiss these festivals as indulgent or excessive or immature, as I sometimes hear, but that's not my experience. I found that being outside my normal life, outside the normal world, there was a freedom. Normal rules no longer applied. I wasn't bound by my usual identity and that was liberating. I was able to get out of my rigid patterns and with the help of psychedelics and dancing, I was able to have some really profound and insightful experiences.
The amazing thing about these festivals is how open and genuine everyone is. I made so many amazing friends and formed these deep and meaningful bonds over the course of just a few days. The friendliest places I've ever been have been festivals, it's a very supportive community. This was a huge inspiration to shooting, I wanted to capture the magic but I didn't want to spoil the moment. I wanted to respectfully photograph people when they were at their most vulnerable, and this became my focus. The question was how could I honour their experience through these photos without objectifying them. So often someone will pull out their camera in and it will change the vibe, people will close up a bit and feel self-conscious. So, I explored how I could get around this, and it was really all about how I approached someone. I took the time to really look them in the eyes and show that I was respecting them and their experience and their self-expression. I connected with the person and gave them a little nod and sought permission before I raised my camera. Then I'd put my camera away. I'd really choose my shots. When you have the camera out too much people start to look at you as a photographer and they either start performing for you or avoiding you. I wanted to avoid these reactions so I kept my camera hidden most of the time and really immersed myself in the experience.
The working process evolved, as I went to more festivals I actually started shooting less and developed a lot more awareness about how my shooting was impacting people's experiences. I went from a voyeur to a participant. I made sure I was as engaged with what was happening around me as anyone else. I didn't just want to capture the experience, I wanted the experience too. The experience is so beautiful because it's co-created, everyone there is bringing their own unique energy and expression and I wanted to be a part of that. So, I'm very careful about when to bring out my camera and also make sure that even when I'm shooting I'm still connecting with people and not hiding behind the camera.
Aside from loving the experience and culture, I've had a long-running interest in consciousness and consciousness-altering experiences. I got interested in psychedelics in my early teens and in my early 20's I started studying Buddhism, meditation and transpersonal psychology. I'm currently studying to be a psychotherapist.
I also grew up skateboarding and loving rebellious counter-culture. For a long time I felt like I was leading a double life, I would party a lot with my friends but also attend lectures on eastern philosophy or training in transpersonal therapy.
These festivals were a place where I could really marry these two disparate parts of myself. I felt both parts were accepted there, I didn't have to stick to any identity or rigid way of being, I could explore myself and express myself with more freedom than I was used to.
What really struck me about these festivals is the powerful and life-changing experiences that people have, and they are actually quite common and talked about openly. It could be looked at as a modern day initiation ceremony. They are clearly quite immature compared to traditional initiations, but there's definitely a parallel.
Initiations are typically experiences where people shed an old, less mature identity, and open up to more mature values and a larger and more complex view of the world. While these experiences seem anything but mature, I'd argue that people often do orient to meaningful values through them. Values like connection, community, self-acceptance, acceptance of others, non-judgment. This was definitely my experience. They are probably lacking values like accountability and responsibility, but even that is debatable. The thing about festivals is there's so much freedom, you can really turn your experience into whatever you'd like. But often even those going just looking to get high and goof around end up having surprisingly profound experiences.
I had been passionate about art since I was very young but as I got older I stopped creating my own. But most of my friends were artists and art was still a big part of my life. I was involved with a gallery for a while and thought that would be a potential career path but it wasn't what I was hoping it to be.
For a while I had toyed with the idea of picking up photography, but I didn't know where to start and I was a bit skeptical, thinking the world didn't really need another photographer and unsure of what I had to offer. Eventually though I picked up a camera, mostly with the intention of doing commercial work. I felt a lot less pressure in doing commercial work, I think I was too critical of art to think I had anything meaningful to contribute. It was my friend Rick Indeo who convinced me to start shooting my lifestyle and experiences. I guess I had previously not acknowledged my unique experiences and views of the world and how that could inspire my photos. Once I started to look at things in that way it just snowballed, I started to see all these beautiful and unique moments that no one else was capturing and I started to seek out new experiences too.
Right now I'm in school studying psychotherapy and also working with meditation teachers and a meditation group called Consciousness Explorers Club. My life is looking different all the time, and I'm still exploring what kind of lifestyle I want to create for myself. My practice in photography is informed by my shifting and deepening interests and grows and develops along with me.
I spend most of my life living a very urban lifestyle. I live downtown Toronto and visit other cities often. The work I'm putting out right now doesn't reflect that so much, and that's intentional. I decided I wanted to do something really outside the box and focus on the fringes of psychedelic culture as opposed to my day to day urban lifestyle, which I also enjoy shooting but isn't as exciting for me as it used to be. With my photos I want to bridge worlds, show people something they haven't seen before.
The most difficult part of the process for me is figuring out how I want to present my work. I didn't put out anything for the first 4 years that I was doing photography. I just wanted to keep exploring the practice and the idea of putting out work seemed a bit intimidating because then I'd be defining myself and my work. I've lived a very dynamic life and my photos reflect that. I was still exploring who I was and who I wanted to be in the world and I didn't want to limit my identity or image by focusing only on one thing or one project.
I felt I was still in an exploratory and experimental phase. Eventually, I felt I had so many great photos from these festivals, and it had really become a part of who I was, so I spent months going over the photos and figuring out exactly what I wanted to convey. It took a long time but I'm very happy with the result. I'm still contemplating how to present the photos from all the other projects I've been working on. I have some great collections and I'm always contemplating what direction to take.
My main influence has undoubtedly been my friend Rick Indeo. His photography consistently inspires me and he was very encouraging and pushed me to shoot in the way that I do. I started off shooting digital and he literally put an analog camera in my hand and gave me some film and told me to shoot my lifestyle. Other photographers that inspire me are photographers like William Eggleston, Nan Goldin, Larry Clark, Alec Soth, Robert Frank, Ryan McGinley, Mike Brodie, Jason Nocito, and Theo Gosselin. Really though my main inspiration are the amazing people I meet in my life, their creativity and uniqueness and beauty and generosity, they are the real inspiration for my work.
When I look at the work of other photographers I'm looking for something real. I'm looking for real moments, real feelings, real vulnerability. I want to see into someone else's world, I want to see real magic and beauty even if it's in the most subtle ways. There's so much beauty in the world, I'm honestly a bit tired of seeing photos of classically pretty people. I want to see something different, something with more depth and originality.

Have you ever experienced the reluctancy of colleagues and clients to react positively to questions, thoughts or propositions that use words like "confront", "oppose", "counter-", "vs", "non-", "problem" etc.?
Using "negative" terms or terms that negate something is even considered somewhat unprofessional. As if we were in politics. (Which we probably are. Maybe writing planning blogs is motivated by the wish to create a planners' world beyond micropolitics, but that's another story.)
Imagine the following piece of conversation:
Strategist: "Let me clarify what you just said: When you say 'evidence-based marketing' - what kind of practice you would like to contrast it with? Or let's put it this way: Which very concrete problems will be solved by evidence-based marketing that cannot be solved by existing marketing practices?"
Client, slightly annoyed: "I would not say 'problem', it's rather about enabling the organization to deliver marketing performance through modern technologies. We should not be occupied by thinking about what we want to avoid but the great opportunities we have."
In the made-up conversation above the consultant tries to understand what the client is talking about by asking him to describe the opposite of the buzzword he is using. It is probably the best method to find out what your counterpart might be thinking of when using certain terms - since most people simply are not willing and able to give a definition.
But the Strategist doesn't get an answer to his question. Instead, the Client is paraphrasing his buzz word in an even unclearer manner; now, even involving sacrosanct vocabulary like "opportunities" or "modern".
Note that the tabu concerning thinking about things by using negations is so dominant that the Client even takes the risk of the agency simply not understanding his briefing. Instead, he elevates the issue on an even higher level of "positive spirit" where it becomes something that cannot be questioned or discussed at all. The agency has to back up, retreat and hypothesize what the meaning of the brief might be.
While "negative" talk seems to violate certain codes of conduct in enterprises it can nevertheless be very useful for a strategist's thinking. Let me describe 3 techniques of what we provocatively could call "negative thinking".
1) The Clarifying Juxtaposition.
Technique: Juxtapose A with B in order to grasp what A is all about.
Example 1: When a brand has three brand values, one of them being "Britishness" you could try to find out which attributes of competing countries of origin your "Britishness" opposes. E.g. it is more understated than Italian brands, it is wittier than German brands, etc.
Example 2: You could juxtapose the whole category of interest to another one in order to find out more about the essential category drivers. E.g. you could think of cats and dogs as opposites to uncover insights for your cat food brand.
Consider which other juxtapositions you could apply here to find out more about the category "living with a cat":
- living with cats vs. living with children
- my cat vs. other people's cat
- living with a cat baby vs. grown-up cat
- my old dead cat vs. getting a new cat, etc.
2) The Enemy.
Technique: (Re-)Define who or what you are against.
Example 1: Often products help people fight something. This is not only the case when it comes to obvious problem-solver categories like tooth paste or vacuum cleaners. Let's take Clayton Christensen's famous milkshake example which shows how milkshakes are used as boredom killers for commuters and less so as as anything primarily nutritional or taste-related.
Example 2: You could exchange the usual enemy for another one. For instance, Omo stopped the detergents' ancient war against dirt and decided to attack parents' fear of dirt. Again, they could have gotten there on a different path - without "enemy kind of thinking" - but the enemy framing is one of the ways to get there.
3) The Problem.
Technique: Clearly define what you are about to solve before going into positive solutions.
Example 1: Jon Steel reports a case from Porsche who found out that the main barrier to buying a Porsche was the user image normal people had of Porsche drivers. So their strategy was to show that Porsche drivers drive Porsche not to show-off but because they really love driving - like all car lovers do.
Instead of giving you further examples let me rather show you some further content from strategists who also stress the importance of problems as the pivots of strategy.

Let's talk about lashes… when I was sixteen, I wore false eyelashes everyday, no word of a lie, even to school. I was blessed with such short, stubby lashes I would of done anything to lengthen them even slightly. And whilst I no longer wear them every single day (I went through SO much glue…) I still have a lot of love in my makeup loving heart for falsies.
I do love a good old celebrity branding collection? Don't you? One of the latest offerings being our very own Fleur De Force (one of the first EVER Youtubers I discovered) and Eylure, my favourite eyelash brand. The collection has been out for a little while now, you know I like to be slightly late to the bandwagon(!) but on one of those pesky late night online shopping nights, I added the 'Fleur & Fabulous' lashes to my virtual basket.
They're the more dramatic pair out of the bunch and make for perfect 'night out, fancy dinner, costume' lashes i.e they do look ever so slightly unnatural, but the look as a whole is pretty spectacular. Some false lashes have that awful plasticly feel to them, but these are so much softer and easier to work with than the plastic kind, they also have a lovely criss-cross design which almost looks as if there are more lashes than there are, perfect for volume!
The actual strip is also quite thick, which I much prefer. It allows you to really line up the strip with your eye, all making for easier application, which, let's be honest, is pretty great considering how flimsy and difficult lashes can be! The lashes themselves could do with a little curl when applying them to really open them up but they're so pretty, so easy and really finish off a smokey/heavy eye nicely.
What I love best? These lashes really deliver you the incredible outstanding quality of Eylure lashes combined with Fleur's own personal touch. They're decently priced, they're reusable and they look and feel luxurious. A wonderful collaboration and I can't help but feel that Fleur herself really deserves this, what an incredible opportunity for such a lovely, down-to-earth women!

I'm looking for salvation;
A place where I can find peace
I don't know so I turn to you.
So many complications.
Oh, everyday is something...
I'm so confused...
Escape from my mind.
Escape from my life.
Escape anywhere.
Escape far away from here
I'm losing all my patience.
It's so hard to resist it.
You don't know what I'm going through.
No more hesitation.
Some things are so enticing.
I know what I have to do
Half the time I can't live my own life
Truth be told I am fading away
How can I walk where I fit in?
So unsure, What am I going to do?
Sometimes I need seclusion from here
There's a place inside me holding me down
I need to find a place where no one else is
Far away from everything that I know

I asked Andrew what special treat he'd like me to cook for Valentine's Day this year, and he replied 'Dal Makhani'. A lentil curry ... how romantic!
We first tried Dal Makhani at the wonderfully-named Bollywood Masala in Dickson. It quickly became one of Andrew's favourite curries, so I decided to try making it. Turns out you can buy the perfect spice mix from Bharat International, along with the black lentils (urad whole) and red kidney beans required to make it.
I tend to make a double batch then stow meal-sized portions in the freezer for quick week day dinners. Serve with basmati rice or roti. Yum.

The last 'actual' Painting Diary post was on October 1st, so here's a new to keep track of the numbers.
First things first, from yesterday on I've almost finished these 15mm figs and they are really fun to paint, but tell me, dear readers, will they be as painful to take photos of as I expect them to be? However, I do see them being very practical, easier to store and still at a fair price, so I may as well extend these to a playable size army. The figs are, again, all Essex:
- 1x8 Musketeers in Hats, with Apostles and Musket Rest, at the ready
- 1x8 Heavy Pikemen in Helmets, pike 45 degrees
- 1x3 Command: Mounted Officer, Standard Bearer & Trumpeter in Pot Helm
They will be shaded/varnished and based tomorrow.
Some misc but keeping it on topic with painting:
This is from the 'palette', a piece of plastic on which I mix my colors... It came off in one piece and this is the 'other side' of it. Surrealistic art, you say? The title would be, 'This Is What Your Painted Plastic Soldier Sees Under the Paint', or something shorter, perhaps.
I cut off a good deal of dried-on paint of my stirring rods (out of use brushes, they live happily after they cannot be painted with) and this is the result... Interesting.

# 107 Of The Final 1000
Maybe he will grant you three wishes, maybe not. Just be careful what you wish for.
Forget about the "40 Virgins" wish. The upkeep would bankrupt you in no time.
Remember, wishing for a million dollars isn't all that wonderful either. A million dollars just doesn't go as far as it used to.
Maybe you'll make the grand gesture and wish for world peace and an end to hunger. You might as well wish for the return of Elvis. It aint happenin'.
Whatever you do don't rub him the wrong way. No telling what a mad Blue Genie could do.

Biman Bose admits there are problems plaguing the alliance
With the first phase election just 72 hours away, Left Front chairman Biman Bose admitted that problems continue to hit the alliance and efforts were made to resolve the impasse.
In Jhargram constituency the CPI(M) is backing Chunibala Hansda of Jhargram party against Congress candidate Subrata Bhattacharya. Naturally, distance has been created between Congress and CPI(M) workers. The vote to this seat will be held on April 4. Trinamool Congress has fielded Sukumar Hansda. There was resentment over Hansda's nomination. But as the date of election is drawing near Trinamool Congress factions have buried their hatchets and all are working in unity to ensure Hansda's victory.
But the real problem has cropped up in North Bengal. In Murshidabad, Congress is fighting against RSP. In Alipurduar, CPI(M) is backing the Congress candidate against RSP candidate Nirmal Das. Congress candidates are fighting against Forward Bloc and CPI(M) candidates in 24 seats. "There will be friendly fight in some seats," said Basu. However, he could not clarify what he meant by "friendly fight."
But both Congress and CPI(M) leaders are upbeat over sharing of dais with Rahul Gandhi in Kulti in Durgapur on Saturday. Though, Suryakanta Misra will not be present at the meeting because of his prior engagement, Bansgopal Chowdhury, party's former MP will share the dais. Interestingly, two CPI(M) Rajya Sabha members from West Bengal, Sitaram Yehchuri, party's general secretary and Brinda Karat have not yet addressed any election rally nor have they shown any interest to share the dais with Congress.
As the election is drawing near both the Congress and CPI(M) leaders have realised that the unofficial alliance was not likely to make any dent in Trinamool Congress. "It will help them restore the winning seats. But whether they will be able to make inroads in Trinamool Congress' territory is the billion dollar question and whose answer can only be gotten on May 19 when the results are out," said a veteran RSP leader.

Chocolates and Cyanide
by Mike Lord
A box of milk chocolates is delivered to a man just before he leaves to fly to work in Botswana. He does not open it and just tucks it into his packed suitcase. His suitcase is delivered in error to a lady passenger in Johannesburg, who helps herself to one of the chocolates and dies of acute cyanide poisoning!
A concerted effort by the police in South Africa and England have to determine who was the intended victim, and who placed the cyanide in the chocolates, but the identities keep them mystified until they find who purchased the chocolates, and who stole the cyanide. The activities of a string quartette throws up several red herrings…

Just Aziza was getting into bed she decided to open her suitcase. The heavy duty plastic zip fastener was easy, and the top folded back.
The brown paper parcel immediately attracted her, and she didn't really look at the other items on the top of the suitcase. She didn't bother to read the name on the label and just opened the brown paper parcel, only to find a box of milk chocolates, not really wondering who would have given her such a present.
She just had to open the box, and cut the cellophane seal around the edge with a knife from her kitchen. She knew that the chocolates would be laid out nicely, but was surprised to find one slightly larger than the others in the centre of the tray, almost winking at her.
There was no foil wrapping just the chocolate with a design on the top. She could not help herself but picked it up and put it whole into her mouth.
As she bit into it the taste was a bit strange;
"Apples," she thought, and then "almonds," came to her mind.
She lay back on her bed to rest and enjoy the chocolate.
She was dead when they found her in the morning, with the open box of chocolates sitting on the top of her unpacked open suitcase.

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by KagomJack, Dec 1, 2003.
same sex marriage? I'm against it due to religious and personal beliefs.
Believe that relgiously samesex marriage is not necessarily compatable to many religions. I personally see no problem with it.
However also believe that the government should get out of the marriage business and just provide civil unions for all joined couples. Ie marriage would be not certified by the state, only civil unions would.
I say leave the question of marriage to faith where it has always been, not to government.
I do have a problem with gay marriages[same sex=gay]. they may be fine upstanding people,honest,hardworking,taxpayers and so on but they should not have the same rights hetro couples enjoy: to keep this short the biggy would be adoption/having of children. how can the child have a role model? this is my mommy and my other mommy? The child will without a doubt be confused and may need counciling while trying to understand why their'family is different' from everyone elses.would also teach the child that its OK for grown people of the same sex to 'sleep' together. Faith has done a good job so far, leave it there.
Separate names with a comma.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a tea tasting party at my friend's house. To say that I'm not a tea person is a major understatement. I'm fairly ignorant when it comes to tea. The only time I drink tea is when we go out for dim sum or high tea. Nonetheless, it was quite an informative and relaxing afternoon.
There are many ways of brewing Chinese tea and it can be very quite comprehensive. I do not want to go into details, but basically it depends on the occasion and the type of tea being brewed. Before serving the tea, my friend (an avid Chinese tea connoisseur) warmed the cups and heated the pot. The big teapot (first photo) is an antique teapot from Japan. I love how she poured the tea evenly in a circular motion.
To accompany the tea, my friend served us bird's nest with coconut milk. DELICIOUS! I rarely have an opportunity to eat this type of delicacy (since I don't know how to make it) so I make sure I eat every bite nice and slow. For those who are not familiar with bird's nest, it is made out of species of cave swifts and are best known for building the saliva nests used to make the unique gelatinous texture for soups or desserts. My only contribution was cakes from Thomas Haas. Besides fashion, my other love is sweets. I love everything about Thomas Haas and he never disappoints me.
I'm curious how many of my readers are tea or coffee enthusiasts?

Got to Have Bling!
I had to try 3 times to get this card right. All three attempts were completely different! But this is the one that I really liked.
I stamped the Butterfly Daisy Circle and cut it out with a Lifestyle Crafts cookie cutter die. I colored the image with Stampin' Up markers in So Saffron and Orchid Opulence. I used Crystal Lacquer to add Lavendar Frost Sparklets glitter to the butterflies. I cut a strip of lavender cardstock and punched it with the Floral Lace punch from Martha Stewart. I added rhinestones to the center of the flowers and added a piece of rick rack down the center.
I used a piece of lace trim and shaped it into a circle and glued it to the back of the image. I use a piece of extra foam from trimming stamps to attach it to the card.
I am happy with the way this card turned out. Maybe what they say is true...the third time's the charm!
Card measures .5" x 4.25"

Rhinestones from Jo-Ann's
