This month's Stamp-a-Stack class was based on the Foxy Friends suite of products. You can find this suite on page 57 of the Stampin' Up! 2016-17 Annual Catalogue. It consists of the Foxy Friends photopolymer stamp set (#141549 $33.00 Cdn), the Fox Builder punch (#141470 $23.50 Cdn), the A Little Foxy designer series paper (#141637 $12.50 Cnd - SOLD OUT), the Smoky Slate 1/8" Stitched ribbon (#141687 $8.00) and the A Little Foxy cardstock pack (#141638 $10.00 Cdn - SOLD OUT).
Here's one of the cards we made in class. I called it Fox On A Stump! So cute.....
The good news is that the stamp set and builder punch will be in the new Stampin' Up! 2017-18 Annual Catalogue!!! The sad news is that the bundle will no longer be available. When you order the bundle you enjoy a 10% savings over purchasing the stamp set and punch separately. The best news is that you still have a couple of days to order your bundle at a 10% savings!
A list of supplies can be found under my signature. Just click on any of the images to go to my online store, or CLICK HERE and you will also be taken there. Or you can EMAIL ME and I will be happy to help you place your order.
If you use the Host Code RHD9KBNE I will send you at least 5 card tutorials at the end of the month as a thank you!
Smoky Slate - 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 (folded in half)

I give a lot. Whenever one of my friends is hungry or craving a snack or needs a water, I supply it. When they need someone to go somewhere with, I go (as long as it doesn't interfere with anything else). I offer to pay, like a good person should. But as my stock deteriorates and I have nothing for myself anymore, I wonder if they actually appreciated it. Or do they just take me for granted? Do they consider me a friend or just a supply?
I wonder... What am I to them?
Sigh, these are the times I feel like a doormat. Like I'm helpless and have no voice. I'm not, and I do have a voice but.. is there a point when going out of your way to be nice and an overall good person harms instead of helps? Is this what Malcolm was warning me about all this time?
Oh but wait, Jay's here. I gotta go...

A unique membership program for ambitious business owners – perhaps just like you…
Our Eureka Platinum Mentoring Groups provide a safe environment where like minded leaders from diverse industries meet, work, laugh and grow together.
Membership creates the opportunity each month to surround yourself with a positive peer group, who will challenge your thinking, perhaps offer you a different and refreshing perspective on your plans that will help and inspire you to reach your goals quicker than you could ever do by going it alone.
From world class guest speakers and presenters you'll learn new skills and techniques for improved performance that will have an immediate and positive impact when you embed them into your business.
Owning or running a business can be incredibly rewarding… when things are going well. On the flip side – it can be stressful, frustrating and lonely at times too.
- Where do you turn to for help and support?
- Who do you talk to about your growth or exit strategies?
- Where are you able to gain inspiration and a fresh perspective on things?
- Who challenges you in a positive way and on a regular basis?
- Who ensures you're driving the business forwards and achieving your goals?
An MBA made simple – for the busy, ambitious business owner – Mastermind – Brainstorm – Action.
This could be precisely what you need to take your business to the next level.
Don't wait another second – make contact today and find out how a Eureka Platinum
Mentoring Group could help you achieve your goals.
...constructive, direct, challenging yet supportive. Steve and the group build mutual trust by really understanding who you are and your untapped potential and then, collaboratively, you put plans in place; he and the group hold you to task to achieve your goals.
We were stuck in a bit of a rut... felt we needed something new to take us to the next level, Platinum has definitely delivered, now it's - how do we manage this torrential in ux of work! And you're helping with that too!.
All thanks to you and the group, the quality of the speakers and the topics covered, our sales doubled again last month! I can't thank you enough for helping me get to where we are today.
We doubled our sales last month and we're on for another cracker. The staff are 100% happier and far more efficient when we apply what we learn at Platinum."
Monthly meetings give you a wake up call as to why we're in business in the first place. We saw 150% increase in sales for the first 3 months.
With the support and knowledge provided by the Platinum group, I have experienced tremendous personal and professional growth whilst faced with extremely challenging commercial pressures.
A key ingredient to the success of Platinum is the chemistry and quality of the people in the room.
Investing 5% of my time for 146% increase in sales. Platinum works.
Our 24 year old business has seen record sales months last year, but Platinum has given me much more than that. What is the point of running your own business if you are just a slave to it? I am less stressed, happier and have a clear way forward. If you want to improve how your business works for you (whatever your goals) you need to consider membership.
Steve and his group have literally transformed the way I think and act in business, our profits have soared since I became a member.
Thanks to all I've learnt and applied from the Platinum group - I've achieved my 12 month target in 10 months
Time spent one to one with either Steve Clarke or one of his team of experienced Eureka business coaches will deliver massive results – the results that perhaps have been eluding you… the results you've been dreaming of..
Our coaching and mentoring is not a one hit wonder. It's not a quick fix. There's no magic wand. Sorry.
That said – time and time again we uncover blockages or can spot clear ways ahead early in a first meeting with a new client. It's one of the primary benefits of having external and experienced eyes and ears.
It can be tough to ask for external support. But it could be one of the best decisions you'll ever make.
...We were sceptical about getting in external support. My business partner was bowled over by the information shared by Steve when he spoke at a conference. We immediately asked him to come in to Mentor us... He has been outstanding. He has been there himself and understands every challenge we face. We're currently implementing the changes he has suggested and we are already seeing results on our way to £35m in sales. He is no nonsense, understands all challenges and tells you straight (which I love). I recommend him highly to any business looking to increase sales and develop strategies for growth.
I'll be honest letting someone come in and dissect our business warts and all was quite a daunting prospect, however the results so far have enabled the whole team to focus far better... its definitely been worthwhile especially with new business already won!
…business simply keeps building. Just in the first 5 weeks of this year we have taken over £250K in orders. That is a whopping 33% more compared to the same period last year. Steve you have sure pushed us in the right direction!

SculpSure™ is an FDA-approved method used for body shaping. The SculpSure™' body contouring system targets and destroys stubborn pockets of fat cells that diet and exercise cannot reach. The procedure is completed in just under 25 minutes without affecting the skin's surface and, over time, the damaged fat cells will be naturally absorbed by the body and flushed out. It is a non-invasive technique so there is no recovery time following treatment and you can resume your daily activities immediately. Results are seen in as few as six weeks, with best results showing at about 12 weeks. The result of SculpSure is a slimmer and natural-looking appearance.
SculpSure™ works through the use of a device with a controlled laser light that is directed onto the skin for approximately 25 minutes. Its design focuses on the reduction of stubborn fat in problem areas such as the abdomen and love handles. During the procedure, the laser light heats the underlying fat, which breaks up the fat cells, boosts the production of collagen and elastin, and allows the treated area to look firmer and younger. SculpSure™ is not painful, and there is no downtime. Most patients see sufficient improvement in just one SculpSure™ treatment, but it is not uncommon to choose to do a second treatment to remove additional fat.
SculpSure™ is designed for those who have areas of fat that they have not been able to lose with diet and exercise alone such as the abdomen. Ideal candidates for SculpSure™ are usually within 10 to 15 pounds of their goal weight. A health check may be required to determine there are no significant health problems that can interfere with the procedure. Studies have shown that the SculpSure™ treatment can remove up to 20 percent to 25 percent of the fat in the treated areas. Contact SmartSkin Dermatology today to find out more about how SculpSure can work for you.
Feel free to email us regarding any scheduling or general questions!

Most people put their diet on the back burner when rushing to make it to the airport on time. When on business travel in general, it can be difficult to eat a balanced meal, especially if you are spending a lot of time in car rentals trying to navigate your way around an unfamiliar city. Implement these tips when trying to eat healthy while on-the-go:
Pack your snack
Instead of relying on the airport terminal having low calorie foods, pack your own snacks. You can include high fiber bars that are sure to keep you feeling satisfied during the flight, that way you won't be tempted to pick up candy at the newspaper stand. Other foods to consider include fresh fruits and veggies. Add these items to your packing list to ensure that you don't forget until your stomach starts growling.
Buy smart
Whether you have a layover or actually made it to the gate well before boarding, it can be tempting to stop for fast food options when traveling for work. Instead, scout out the locations in the terminal as you make your way to the boarding area and select the most health-conscious spot you can find. If you decide to go for a sandwich, pick one with whole-wheat bread and lean meats like chicken and turkey.

*This post highlights summer Ikat prints and features the Ikat-print Easy Tank from J. Jill which was gifted to me for a product review
Hey Everyone!
I can't believe I made it to the end of the week! For some reason this week seemed to drag on and on. Don't you hate when that happens? At any rate, I'm ready for the weekend and I'm sure you are too! As always, I like to provide some weekend outfit inspiration for you guys on Fridays. I know it's easier to roll out of bed and throw anything on, but try to resist that urge if you can. LOL! You'd be surprised how easy it is to achieve great weekend looks with little effort. If you read my blog regularly, it goes without saying that I'm a girl who loves prints. Ikat is a print that I've always liked but don't have a lot of in my closet. J. Jill's Painted Desert Collection combines beautiful summer Ikat prints with earthy, neutral tones. As a self proclaimed Bohemian, summer Ikat prints are a must and J. Jill has got the goods!
For my look today, I'm wearing J. Jill's Ikat-print Easy Tank with a pair of black linen shorts I've had for ages. It's amazing how versatile a tank like this can be. If you're looking for alternate ways to wear it, try a light weight maxi skirt with side slits, a cropped pair of linen pants or a cute mini skirt in a neutral color. As for me, I can't seem to stay out of my fedora. I know you guys have got to be tired of seeing me in it by now, but I love it so much! LOL!
Here's my look:
*Photos taken by Richard Glass
The print of this tank is so nice! It photographed beautifully against the greenery of the background! Check out the rest of J. Jill's Painted Desert Collection today at http://www.jjill.com.
Do you have any summer Ikat prints that you'll be wearing?
*All opinions in this post are 100% my own
Until next time…

Microsoft has decided to bring order to the JavaScript universe. That order takes the form of a typed superset of JavaScript, called TypeScript, which promises to offer JavaScript developers new features, such as proper classes, interfaces, and modules.
TypeScript in Visual Studio.
(Credit: Microsoft)
It's far from a new idea to build a language or framework that improves upon JavaScript.
As the 11th most popular language on GitHub, CoffeeScript is the current leader in the space. With its Ruby and Python influenced syntax and reasonable JavaScript that it outputs, there's a lot to like about CoffeeScript.
But if CoffeeScript isn't your thing, the altjs.org site has an exhaustive list of other JavaScript alternatives.
With so many existing options, why would Microsoft decide to set foot into this arena?
The answer is that it is a simple case of tooling.
The world doesn't need yet another compile to JavaScript language, or another method to bring types into a loose language like JavaScript. But what it does need is a better way to develop the language.
JavaScript is going places, places it was never intended to go.
Lately, whenever a vendor wants to extend its platform with a new language binding, JavaScript seems to popup as the answer. Need a Windows 8 application? Use JavaScript. Want to create a GNOME extension? Use JavaScript.
By adding a dash of type structure to JavaScript, TypeScript opens up more inference for editors and IDEs to latch onto — developers that are addicted to IntelliSense are going to love it.
TypeScript's playground: not bad for a text area in a browser.
The fact that TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript should also work in its favour. Whereas CoffeeScript has a different syntax than JavaScript, TypeScript is not that far removed from JavaScript (yet). For developers that are not Ruby syntax aware and do not have large philosophical problems with the way JavaScript behaves, TypeScript gives the ability to add a touch of sanity, while still retaining JavaScript's flexibility when conditions merit it.
TypeScript is released under an Apache licence on Microsoft's CodePlex, but is not yet fully complete — features such as generics are yet to arrive.
It will be interesting to see what TypeScript eventually becomes. Could it become Microsoft's preferred JavaScript? Or will the developer world give it a try and move on?
With language aficionado Anders Hejlsberg leading the charge, it will surely throw up some good concepts and thought bubbles, regardless of whether the language itself gains traction or not.
To give TypeScript a test run, have a quick hack in the TypeScript playground.

Sin Killer
A NovelBook - 2002
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Not bad work for a man who's published as many long fiction works as has McMurtry in his life. Glad I read it.
Much of McMurtry's charm is his ability to blend horrific, gritty reality with humor. Sinkiller, the first book in the Berrybender narratives, sometimes goes overboard on both counts. The story is both too awful AND too funny to put down.
It is 1830, and the Berrybender family — rich, aristocratic, English, and hopelessly out of place — is on its way up the Missouri River to see the untamed West as it begins to open up. With irascible determination — and a great deal of outright chaos — the party experiences both the awesome majesty and brutal savagery of the unexplored land, from buffalo stampedes and natural disasters to Indian raids and encounters with frontiersmen and trappers, explorers, pioneers, and one part-time preacher known as "the Sin Killer."

Not even a sympathy post?
Free at last! Free at last!
Well, racism is exceptionally high throughout the threads this morning, so you could be onto something.
People get all agitated over Obama.
the wig shes wearing is awful
Obama, MLK and Ray Lewis? Fail
Michelle Chewbacca Obama stole Nancy's hair style
i hate how they make a big deal out of the boon wife like shes hot
I hate when a fat dumpy family of three like yours waddles into a restaurant and tries to squeeze their fat fuck bodies into a booth and then their retarded daughter throws food all over the floor.
I think Michelle Obama is VERY pretty, and I like her new hair.
All the jizzbuckets like Chris Matthews likening her to Jackie O in 2008 was mindnumbingly idiotic.
Blackie O
Jackee O

Orange RockCorps is coming to you. Volunteer for free concert tickets. The adverts are on TV now. You'll recognise the underpinning philosophy from the ads on the tube if you live in London. "I am who I am because of everyone". I used to see the ads, think it was a nice idea, but figured it was just some more corporate positioning. However, true to their strapline Orange have teamed up with RockCorps to bring an awesome community project to the UK.
Here's the deal... You do 4 hours of volunteering/community service at one of 50 projects being organized around London, covering everything from school regeneration to helping the homeless, and you get 1 free concert ticket.
The first gig is on September 26th at the Royal Albert Hall and involves Busta Rhymes, Guillemots, John Legend, Feeder and more artists are still signing up.
That appears to be it. No further catch. No idea how many concerts there are, or if the 1 concert will cover all volunteers, but since I can't find any other condition for getting a ticket I'm assuming they will have to keep them coming for as many people as do the volunteering. I love it!
It's already happened in the US, but this is quite clearly the first true example of a corporate mobilising the community in the UK. Orange provide the funding, publicity, platform, social media, project connections, scalability, and in return they get massive, massive kudos even though the idea really is RockCorps'. Still, someone had to be brave enough to make it happen, and respect to Orange for doing it.

Kayla - posted on 10/22/2010 ( 7 moms have responded )
My name is Kayla and im 20 years old. I have a 17 month old and im a single mother. I work retail but my paychecks and hours change weekly. I am struggling with bills and to keep a roof over our head. I do get a little bit of government assistance such as WIC, foodstamps, and vendor for daycare. But i dont know what else to do. I have tried looking for other options for assistance but apparently since I live in the state of Missouri, there are not many sources. I have even looked for ways to get personal grants online for single mothers who need help with with bills etc., but you have to pay for a processing fee, or they just bring up pages for you to apply to go back to school. Im afraid I will get scammed. I cant afford to go back to college and im afraid if I do I wont have time for my son and I will be to stressed out to handle it. Does anyone have any ideas and ways to help? I would appreciate it any type of advice. Thanks!

Treliving ready to begin building Flames at draftby Aaron Vickers
CALGARY -- Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving has wasted little time fine-tuning his front office.
At the 2014 NHL Draft, and with free agency opening shortly thereafter, he'll soon get his first opportunity to put his fingerprints on the player personnel end of things too.
"I'm excited because this really starts the time that you can help build your team," Treliving said. "Although there's a lot of excitement around the draft itself and obviously July 1 [start of free agency], those aren't the only two days to build your team.
"This is just the start of it. I wouldn't categorize it as saying putting my stamp on it; now's the time we can be aggressive and be creative to get better. This is all about getting better. This isn't about any one individual trying to come up here or put their stamp on and those types of things.
"This is about getting better, and it starts at the draft with the picks we can make and we'll see what other things we can do both around the draft and leading into free agency."
Since being hired by president of hockey operations Brian Burke in late April, Treliving has added Brad Pascall and promoted Craig Conroy to serve as assistant GMs. He's also started the search for a new goaltending coach and made another coaching change with the Adirondack Flames, Calgary's American Hockey League affiliate, in hiring Ryan Huska away from the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League.
Now settled with his staff, Treliving's attention will turn to the players they'll oversee.
And it starts in Philadelphia.
The Flames have seven picks, starting with No. 4 in the first round, plus two picks each in the second and third rounds, giving Treliving a chance to add a solid number of prospects to the rebuilding club.
"We're excited where we're at right now, picking fourth, five picks in the first three rounds," he said. "We've got a plan going into Philadelphia. We'll see how things unfold over the next week but I do know it's going to be a busy week.
"We've spent a lot of time in the last several weeks with a number of the young men, both at their place and we've brought in a number of players. We've poked, we've prodded, and as we've told them, this process isn't created to make them uncomfortable but these are very, very important decisions."
As busy as he and his staff have been through the draft process, Treliving might find himself even busier once he gets to Philadelphia.
The former Phoenix Coyotes assistant GM expects phone lines to be busy League-wide between now and when he anticipates stepping to the stage at Wells Fargo Center to announce the No. 4 pick.
"I think it's going to be busy," Treliving said. "I think from now, we're in draft week, I think there's going to be activity. I think it's going to be as busy and as volatile of a draft week as we've seen in recent memory.
"We're prepared for every scenario. It's an interesting time because very seldom, first of all, do you get such a lack of consensus. If there's no moves, who is No. 1? Secondarily, not very often does the team holding the first pick openly talk about the potential of it moving. Those are a couple different dynamics, but whoever is there at four, we'll have a nameplate and a jersey all ready for them."
That's not to say the No. 4 pick is completely off the table.
But it's not exactly in play, either.
"It's exciting right now when you're picking fourth," Treliving said. "In January it's not so exciting. There's a lot of pain to get a top-five pick. To all of a sudden say we're going to do something else, it would have to be significant. Look at Florida. It's hard to say, 'OK, we're going to trade out of No. 1.'
"It has to make sense."
With the Flames' draft list nearly finalized, making a move that makes sense might be even more difficult.
"We're pretty close," Treliving said. "It's funny; when you get all the scouts together it's reason to debate but I think our list is pretty firm. We'll get in there [Tuesday] and find reasons to argue with each other.
"I feel very comfortable with the homework that's been done. As much work as you put into it, there's some risk always but I feel very confident going in that the work's been done, the preparation's been done.
"Now we get into Philadelphia and see how things flow."

All this talk of campaign groups over the course of the week has gotten me thinking. Some of those folk who go on the news to spout their opinions look like they're having a really great time. I mean, they wear groovy t-shirts they designed themselves, they hang around all day with like minded friends and even get to appear on the television, where they doubtless mingle with celebrities and enjoy a champagne lifestyle. I'm really rather envious.
So with this in mind I've decided to start my own campaign group and get in on the action. I don't want to miss out on all the fun. Why should my opinions and personal choices remain inside my own head, when I could be ramming them down the throat of all and sundry?
Obviously I need something to campaign against. I need to pick something that has no effect on my life whatsoever, yet because of my own personal dislike of whatever it is, I will demand the legal framework of our democracy be entirely altered to fit in with my wont, and this thing be banned forever. I'm a hardened campaigner now, so my opinion clearly takes precedence over everybody else's.
I've therefore decided the subject of my campaign will be opera. I don't like opera – it's nothing but a bunch of stout people warbling in Italian and it gets on my tits. Now, I could exercise my right to avoid opera by simply not going to any opera performances, but for a campaigner like myself, that wouldn't be going nearly far enough. No, I want opera banned forever; if I don't personally like something, then everybody else should be forced to live without it.
So how does one go about starting a campaign? I've studied the form of several professional campaigners, and come up with an easy to follow list of requirements.
Cherry pick your data
There are positives and negatives in every walk of life, but it's the negatives we must dwell on if we're to convince people of our argument. The anti-drug lobby, for example, conveniently ignores the fact that tens of thousands of people take ecstasy in the
every week, and suffer no long term ill effects. Instead they concentrate on
the one person who tragically died whilst using E, and turn her into their
poster girl. So with that in mind, let me tell you about Leonard Warren, who
collapsed and died onstage while performing La forza del
destino. That's right, this is conclusive evidence that OPERA WILL KILL YOU.
Scare people
Nothing brings folk around to your way of thinking more effectively than scaring the bejesus out of them. The anti-drug campaigners tell us drugs will send you insane and leave you a drooling basket case. Anti-pornography campaigners tell you masturbation makes you go blind, and turns you into an antisocial recluse who hates women. So what about opera? I've done some checking and found out that an opera singer emits a noise of anything up to one hundred decibels. The current Health and Safety legislation states that any noise above forty decibels should be treated as a potential hazard and protective equipment must be issued accordingly. OH MY FUCKING GOD – OPERA WILL MAKE YOU GO DEAF. RUN FOR THE HILLS.
If you've no sane way of backing up your argument, then you can always result to making stuff up off the top of your head. For example, marijuana is a 'gateway' drug, and if you smoke weed you will be a hardcore heroin addict by a week on Tuesday. Likewise, pornography causes men to rape women. There is no evidence to back up any of these claims, but people freely wheel them out every time they want to waggle their finger and tell you not to do stuff. So let's make up a lie about opera. How about this; Hitler liked opera. FUCKING HELL, IF YOU LISTEN TO OPERA YOU WILL DEFINITELY GO ON TO COMMIT GENOCIDE.
Make some groovy t-shirts.
You need a catchy slogan printed across your chest if you're to get your way, so here are a few examples I've come up with.
So there we have it. I shall be launching my campaign to have opera banned next week, and I thoroughly expect to gain wall to wall press coverage for my opinions within a few days. No doubt you will see me on the television, waving my arms about and pulling scary faces as I warn people of the terrible danger opera poses to the very fabric of our society.
Repeat after me:

text: Institute of Oceanography The Institute of Oceanography, University of Calabar, was established in 1982 as a Centre for research and training in marine sciences in Nigeria. It is the only university-based research institute in the country, which addresses issues concerning nature, utilization and conservation of our coastal and offshore resources. The mission of the Institute is defined by its statute pursuant to which she engages in research and consultancy, forging of national and international linkages and activities in general which promote the understanding of the aquatic environment. As mankind increasingly turns to the sea for exploitation of resources and disposal of wastes, a better understanding of the aquatic environment in general and the marine environment in particular will assume greater importance. The University of Calabar, by its coastal location, is strategically placed to address these concerns in Nigeria. We envisage an Institute which should eventually serve as a university-based Centre of Excellence for research and training in marine science disciplines charged with the production of the required medium- and high-level marine expertise in the Country The value of such a Centre is predicated on the following: The strategic and the maritime location of the University of Calabar The country's extensive coastline which stretches for over 800 kilometers and the inadequate number of institutions sufficiently staffed and equipped to address various marine-related issues and problems which require scientific investigation, The extensive material and human resources along this coastline for which we need a deeper understanding of their interactions for sustainable utilization and management, The increasing threats to sensitive coastal ecosystems such as the mangrove forest and the need for a body of information relevant to their sustenance, The increasing importance of the marine environment as a source of natural resources and destination for the disposal of industrial and domestic waste products. Conception and Origin of IOC The Institute grew out of the erstwhile Department of Biological Sciences and the vision for her conception and creation must be credited to the founding Director, Professor Ulo Kponuko Enyenihi. The blueprint for the establishment of the institute was formulated in 1981/1982 under the coordination of the Research Center of the Gesellschaft zur Anwendung der Kernenergie in Schiffbau und Schiffahrt mbh (GKSS), Hamburg, Germany and the full and active participation of the following individuals and institutions: Dipl. Ing. Helmut Bianchi - GKSS Prof. Dr. W. Nellen - Institut fur Meereskunde, Kiel Prof. Dr. D. Schnack - Institut fur Meereskunde, Kiel Prof. Dr. G. Hempel - University of Bremerhaven The initial conception of the Institute was for a six-department structure with the full complement of ancillary operational units and infrastructure. Funding constraints, however, and the exigencies of the political situation in the course of actualizing the initial concept demanded a dynamic response by the institute in the execution of its mandate. Consequently, in 1987, the institute undertook a restructuring which involved the streamlining of the initial six departments into three departments viz: Departments of Biological Oceanography, Physical Oceanography and Fisheries and Aquaculture. In 2007, the departmental structure of the institute was modified and the former departments became Units within the Institute. As a result of these changes, IOC has emerged as a more dynamic interdisciplinary institute. Historical Landmarks Some significant landmarks, despite the difficult operating circumstances, have punctuated the history of the Institute. These achievements have been recorded in the areas of attracting national and international research funding, fellowships and awards; consultancy and community service; and the design and implementation of innovative programs of teaching and research. These are highlighted below and further presented in detail under the respective sections:

text: This picture is the perfect example of why you should always take the window seat on a flight! This stunning landscape (or skyscape?) was snapped as passenger Mark Hersch's flight was approaching Chicago O' Hare International Airport last week. He had his iPhone out to take a picture when the plane took a sharp turn and revealed this incredible sight – the Chicago skyline casting its shadow on the surface of Lake Michigan. One physicist even drew a design explaining the lines of perspective that went into the image. This mystical photograph is definitely aonce-in-a-lifetime shot. By the way – can you spot the second aircraft in this photo?

Another absolutely stellar day in South Central Alaska. ( Read more... )
Nights like this are why we all love this place we call home. ( Read more... )
Up from Ram Valley to the ridge E of Significant. Up Peak 5320'. Down and up again to the bumb NW of Peeking. Down to Peters Creek. Up to the base of the W. Ridge of Bees Heaven for some sleep. Up the W. Ridge of Bees Heaven then down the East ridge then up the long ridge to Thunderbird Peak. Then down the loooonnng ridge to the spillway across Eklutna Lake. 21 miles, 12K vert. And although Kim Gordon doesn't necessarily conjure images of pastoral Chugach ridge walks - her screams generally keep me going for hours... thus the music.
These are old pictures from a trip that Yvonne, Eric and I did on September 11-12, 2010. I put up a video a couple years ago but never edited the photos, but since it's been an Eklutna summer I decided to go through them and post some of the better ones. ( Read more... )
In case you don't remember, we had a pretty awful summer this year: 30 days straight of rain and gloomy weather. Climbing plans were pretty much shelved in exchange for boating, fishing and a short quick jaunt up Flattop in-between and during showers.
So when the forecast called for somewhat reasonably clear and sunny skies we opted to hike in and try Temptation Peak. Temptation is one of the 12 5000' peaks in the Chugach Front Range and was the last 5000' Front Range peak left on Yvonne's list (I still have 2 to go).
We packed a water bottle, bear spray, a couple bars and rain jackets and then began the slog up Snow Hawk Valley trail. The Snow Hawk trail has seen better days. At one time it was well cleared and easy walking. It's now the standard Chugach trail – meaning it's all of a foot wide with devil's club and cow parsnip towering over your head. And to add to the excitement every 50 feet you come across a pile of steaming bear dung. ( Read more... )
Mt. Elliot, located on the ridge east of Wolverine, is one of the few peaks in the front range I hadn't hiked up yet. So when Yvonne managed to drag me away from fishing for a day we headed out for a nice afternoon jaunt. We brought Ranger and his buddy Lucy (Eric and Julie's dog).
We hiked up and over the ball field, stopping a couple times to talk to friends who were out enjoying the day, and then dropped down past Black Lake to the shores of Williwaw Lake. We then tromped up a southern gully to the ridge, turned right and scrambled to the summit. The summit is the farthest bump East of Wolverine which makes it out of the way for a pretty insignificant peak unless you're running out of fresh peaks to climb. ( Read more... )
Pix from a Christmas hike in Shenandoah National Park. ( Read more... )
On Saturday, July 21st, Yvonne, Dan Boccia and I climbed the North Ridge of Bard Peak. We drove to Whittier, hiked up Whittier Creek where we forded it near the campground. We then chose a tiny stream that is about 300' downstream from the main fork of Whittier Creek. We picked our way up the stream, wading through it and jumping back and forth across the creek for about 10 minutes until we reached a clearing. We were then able to move left and ascend meadows for around 300' till we reached a series of rocks that border the creek. In total we only bush whacked for maybe 15 minutes! ( Read more... )
On Memorial Day (May 28th), Yvonne and I hiked in and climbed Koktoya. ( Read more... )
On August 27th Yvonne and I drove south down to Bird Ridge where we began heading up the trail at noon with Ranger in tow. We made quick progress although our legs were quite stiff after having taken so much time off from hiking due to the almost constant rain Anchorage had experienced since late July.
At 1:30 we reached the top of the Bird Ridge trail and began to traverse the ridge that heads east towards Bird Ridge Overlook (4,600'), the peak that sits at the end of the ridge.
The hike is a total of 12 miles round trip; 3 miles to the top of Bird Ridge and then another 3 miles to Bird Ridge Overlook. After ascending Bird Ridge, we dropped down about 300 feet and then began a long rising and falling traverse to Bird Ridge Overlook. Hiking was easy and straightforward with an excellent well traveled sheep trail just below the ridge crest that kept us on more or less a level plain as we traversed the ridges. ( Read more... )

A serious recalibration of our consumerist lifestyle is in order according to Mulder in this valiant attempt to historically situate an economic practice run amok.
What Mulder would really like to experience is a fundamental change in how we go about obtaining the things we need, which—as one glaring example of a malfunctioning system—many of us around the globe don't have. Her coverage of the mechanics of consumerism, such as currency, advertising, and planned obsolescence, are gripping enough to stick in readers' minds, but historical explanations—for example, the causes of the Great Depression—are way too shallow to help readers understand the basic insecurities of the system. The book is punctuated by boxes of facts and vignettes of activities Mulder has engaged in that look to a more dignified future. These include the "Repair Cafe," where local handy folk gather at some central location to repair broken goods, or the "Kitchen Library," which lends out things like blenders or a set of sharp knives. Mulder also addresses issues of vast importance: child labor laws, the microloan phenomenon, and the return of barter. Two particularly wonderful instances stand out: the first is "Buy Nothing Day," observed annually in November, and the other is an emphasis on the value of community.
Ambitious in scope and mission but uneven in execution; nevertheless, valuable in its illustration of alternative models of commerce. (Nonfiction. 8-12)

Parents, students rally to save Regency Park Elementary
Parents, students rally to save Regency Park Elementary
PLUM, Pa. —
Dozens of parents and students rallied outside the Plum School Board meeting Tuesday telling board members to keep Regency Park Elementary School open.
Regency Park was closed at the end of the 2014-2015 school year. The board is considering scrapping plans to build a new school in that location.
Nothing was decided at the meeting.
At a meeting Monday, President Sal Colella suggested putting the issue on November's ballot asking voters if the district should borrow money for a new school.
The next board meeting is July 21.

Pain is debilitating and life-altering. If you suffer from pain from any source, you understand how it can wreak havoc on your way of life. Daily tasks become insurmountable and is particularly difficult to target anything apart from your pain. If the sounds familiar, you may well be interested in studying Portland Hypnosis, which is actually a therapy that has shown great promise in relieving pain. Read on to find out more.
Choose a licensed professional for your personal Portland Hypnosis treatment. Usually do not hesitate to inquire about when you can see a licence or get some references. If you have doubts relating to your acupuncturist, it is advisable to cancel your appointments and judge another doctor who seems more professional. Do your homework online for more information on different doctors.
You need to consume a healthy snack a few hours before your Portland Hypnosis treatment. You might feel dizzy in case you have a vacant stomach for your treatment. Avoid eating a large meal since laying upon your stomach could possibly be very uncomfortable. Talk to your acupuncturist should you be unclear what kind of healthy snack you have to have.
Remember that Portland Hypnosis fails to use needles. Many people think they are being saddled with small needles that hurt, but this isn't the case. Tiny, solid and sterile little pins that are about the thickness of the strand of hair are what are used for Portland Hypnosis. A lot of them are flexible, and also, since they aren't hollow, they rarely cause pain.
Ask your acupuncturist regarding their education. Acupuncturists will need to go to medical school for 4 years before completing an internship. The internship should last no less than eighteen months. In case your acupuncturist cannot prove they may have this kind of educational background, you should find another specialized doctor that can treat you.
Understand that Portland Hypnosis effects make time to change lives. You can't expect you can see results after a single Portland Hypnosis session. You generally have to attend several sessions before you start seeing the huge benefits. Make sure you keep with your scheduled sessions to enable you to achieve those good results.
After an Portland Hypnosis session, make sure to hydrate yourself properly. A good guideline is usually to consume no less than six glasses of water using a session. Portland Hypnosis can force you to release toxins in the body, and you have to drink plenty of water to flush those toxins through your system.
Portland Hypnosis will not be an excellent choice if you feel very stressed. Usually do not hesitate to cancel a treatment should you have had an incredibly stressful day. Portland Hypnosis is definitely not very efficient when your muscles are tense and also the toxins released during the treatment could can even make your stress even worse.
You may be busy in the daytime, however when you get done having Portland Hypnosis, it's vital that you rest. You will reap the benefits of Portland Hypnosis treatments when you may rest properly. Try to get eight hours no less than after any session.
When your Portland Hypnosis therapist starts to place needles involving the eyes, on your own abdomen or perhaps in other unusual spots, will not be alarmed. Sometimes pressure points he must reach are located over these areas, and is particularly quite normal to set needles there. An extra is that these areas typically hurt below other locations where needles are placed, making the session a more pleasant one.
That you can now see, there can be a way to overcome the debilitating and life-altering negative effects of pain. Portland Hypnosis is studied for a long time and it has shown great promise for that relief of pain. Keep what you've read within mind and look for an honest practitioner. Soon you'll have the capacity to shift your focus out of your pain and back to leading a fulfilling life!

Relax with cats?
|Relax with Cats
Recently I was in the sort of shop you might go to if you're a woman who has a remarkable number of cats in your house.
I love New Age shops, they're mental but great at the same time. I try not to spend money in them too much and strangely managed to stop short of a purchase when I encountered "Relax With Cats".
From the sounds of things they should pipe this in on the hospital radio stations of the UK because it fixes BROKEN BONES and is recommended by SCIENTISTS amongst other things.
Yes, that's right, it fixes broken bones, unbelievable eh?
|My cats loved it
Various incredible quotes on the back made me want to buy it: "Most amazing relaxation CD I have ever heard", "Zonked me out completely", "My cats loved it" and "Calmed the kids down".
Furthermore, check out the academic qualifications on Jeff Moron and Jack Stewart[1]: an MA and an MSc between them! They must really know their stuff if they've got a qualification or two.
Look as well, it says "scientifically proven". Scientists know everything, they're ace. This is a done deal...
|It's ten quid?
Then the cynicism set in a bit. One of those quotes stuck out as a slight contradiction to the relaxation vibe: "It's as if a cat was sat on my lap". That's not relaxing to me at all, if interpreted literally and on a "scientific level" that's stressful for a number of reasons.
Firstly, cats scratch you and stick their claws in for no reason. I can never relax with one on my lap.
Secondly, I think it'd freak me out to imagine one was actually scientifically there, only to discover I'd been conned by a CD into thinking that. In other words, to take these claims seriously we're describing borderline mental illness here.
Remember, this stuff is "scientifically proven".
|Scientifically proven magickal qualities
Then there's the price as well: ten quid. I'm a jobbing commercial radio cover presenter and part time writer these days. I don't have ten quid to buy things like this, even if it is pink.
Still, "This Amazing CD will enable you to:
#Fully Relax
#Boost your immune system
#Improve your health"
That's some pretty incredible claims there. They are backed by people with qualifications and it is "scientifically proven". Furthermore the research "confirms that cats purring: #Lowers stress levels & blood pressure #Creates frequencies that help muscle tissue and bones repair".
I really honestly wanted this CD.
What put me off was the matter of fact tone implied by the use of words which appeal to scientific authority. This makes it harder to purchase. In that sense I can't make the purchase, the advertising put me off: I just don't buy it.
Nick Margerrison
[1] Both very easy to find online. Almost posted their pictures but I'm starting to get a strange sense of responsibility as this blog begins to get readers and didn't want them unnecessarily hassled. They're scientists after all, they don't know any better.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'iPod touch Hacks' started by hyperipod, Mar 22, 2011.
I know I can do it with Spirit, but I have iTunes 10.2.1 ...
Thanks !
I don't think it matters. Try Spirit.
One last question !
And if I plan to sync the iPod with a PC using iTunes 10.2, will it work ? Or does it say to use iTunes 9.2 or less only for the jailbreak, not the sync ?
Thanks !!
I really don't think the version of iTunes matters for jailbreaks. The only reason the jailbreak site may say that is because 9.2 was the current version of iTunes at the time.
Spirit requires 9.x. It won't work if you've got 10.x

I can only imagine what we looked like as we stepped off the plane after close to twenty hours of traveling. Seven Israeli soldiers greeted us at the airport dancing and singing and carrying balloons, but the forty of us were too tired to dance along with them. Since then, though, we've been on the move and going at a hundred miles per hour every day guided by our tour guide Dikla, our leaders Sam and Alyza and our bus driver, Chaim. So far, we've been to the old city in Jerusalem, the city of Tzvat, the Golan heights, and Kibbutz Chukuk, where we have been staying for the past two nights.
This weekend was very relaxing and peaceful. I had no idea what to expect when I read that we would be staying on a Kibbutz. I thought there would be animals roaming around and we would be staying in cabins, like on a camping trip. While my general idea was right (some kibbutzim have livestock and this one has lots of dogs and cats), I've learned that the idea of a kibbutz is more about community and sharing. We had a full Kibbutz experience as we stayed here for our first Shabbat in Israel. We had a Kabbalat Shabbat service last night and Havdalah tonight and in between we slept in (yeah!), played soccer, and listened to a few of our group mates play the guitar. Every day we do lots of activities and today we did one of the most interesting activities thus far. We got into groups and discussed topics related to the torah portion of this week, such as what it means to be Jewish in Israel versus in the U.S., how we identify as Jewish in our daily lives, and how our lives have changed now that we've been to Israel. It may not seem that exciting on paper, but it was one of the most interesting conversations I've had in a long time.
A few of my friends who have gone on birthright came home and said they felt more connected to their Jewish identities. I thought this sounded a bit corny at the time, but I can definitely tell how the trip has and will change my Jewish life at home. While I probably (ok, definitely) won't become any more religious, I can say that I will think more about Israel and my connection to Israel. Tomorrow we are off to Haifa and Tel Aviv. For all of the parents who are reading this just to see if their kids are alive and having fun: the answer is yes! You can look forward to another blog in the coming days. Shalom!

Beware of BEDBUGES!!!
When I checked in, the room seemed very clean and the staff were great.
I went to bed and woke up to bed bugs crawling all over the bed and the pillows and saw few blood stains on the white sheets, which I think they might have bitten me. I only have a few bites I belive and it's not that bad.
The worst thing was the fact that I had to make sure I don't take any bedbugs or their eggs home. It was very stressful and on top of that the management changed their stories abou
t their problems with having bedbugs several times!!
I would pay a bit more next time and not risk staying at a hotel infested with bedbugs!
Anonymous on 03/05/2012
I stayed here with 3 friends Dec 31 2010. At first the hostel seemed ok, though it was pretty run down. When we got back after our night out and started getting ready for bed we had some ugly surprises. When we looked at the beds we could see a few different insects on the sheets, some of which were bedbugs. We went down to tell the front desk, one of the guys came to check the room and agreed with us that it was disgusting. He offered to move us to the only other room they had available, which
was even worse. We told him no, we weren't staying and that we wanted our money back. He said he couldn't do that we'd have to get in touch with the manager, and if we had any problems he would back us up with what he saw. I spend a month and a half trying to get in touch with the manager before I finally gave up. Every time I called I was told he was out or coming in later, and of course my messages were never answered. It was an awful experience, and I really recommend staying anywhere but here.

I stayed in room 9 and woke up at 4:30 am with many bedbug bites. I went to reception and got moved to room 10, which has no bed bugs.
In the morning the guy at reception said that only the manager can give refunds and he will be back on Monday. I came back on Monday and the girl at reception was rude and sarcastic and said I should email the email address they give on the website and sit in the lobby all day until someone answers.
whole place is dirty and unsanitary. One of the rooms hadn't been cleaned. The bed had been slept in and there was food there. There are dirty bits of cloth and mattresses, derelict washing machines etc. strewn around the lower corridors.
They have loud, intimidating 'ghetto' people staying there. There are drug dealers, panhandlers and half-way houses around outside.
Hostelworld said that the room is $50 but they charged $60.
This place is a s***hole and the staff are rude and/or liars. I've complained to the Toronto city government about it.
Ed on 09/18/2011
Sept 17 2011. Pulled back the blankets to get into bed and bed bugs were crawling in plain view. The person at the front desk could not have cared less. We left immediately. I would recommend that you DO NOT stay at the Downtowner Inn at 117 Pembroke St, Toronto. This really is a nasty, dirty place to stay.

Bed bugs everywhere. Stay away! Sept 07/2011. I have bites everywhere, I killed the bugs constantly throughout the night revealing a belly full of my blood in each!
Anonymous on 08/23/2011
I stayed here for 10 days in July 2011. I didn't notice the bed bugs at first. I wish I had known about this site since it looks like they've had this problem since 2008.
They will move you to another room if you ask but it didn't help. The bed bugs are everywhere.

Bedbugs EVERYWHERE ! AVOID THIS HOTEL !

Please be advise that this place

is full of bed bug

Bed bugs are a common problem in this hostel. I recommend sleeping on the top bunk and spraying around the edge of your mattress with insect repellent every night. Also, don't tuck your sheets in if you can avoid it - don't create places that the bedbugs can hide. I also have all of my clothes tied up in plastic bags to avoid the bugs from moving into my luggage.
I've been in this hostel for 5 weeks now and I haven't been bitten since I've been taking these precautions. There is another w
oman in my room who won't listen to my advice and she gets bitten every night. Bedbugs are spreading everywhere now. Just take precaution and you'll be fine.

Location: Downtowner Inns Toronto
Details: The entire hotel was disgustingly unclean. Following a room change, we discovered bed bugs crawling on us at approximately 12:30 a.m.. We alerted the front desk clerk, who did not appear to be surprised. He simply marked the room on a sheet of paper already containing multiple markings. We decided to check-out. Although we were promised a refund, no refund was ever received. It appears that bed bugs are simply part of the char

Rob Jardine discusses Diversity, Inclusion and Unconscious Bias
Watch the Live interview
Transforming LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS through neuroscience
The NeuroLeadership Institute is a leading global research organization and the pioneer of bringing neuroscience to leadership and performance. Our brain-based, process-focused and outcome-driven methodologies facilitate positive change.
Companies We've Worked With
Our Approach
"Despite the tens of billions of dollars we pour into training-related books, attendance at inspirational speeches, workshops, conferences, and training sessions, the workplace today is as dysfunctional as ever. Organizations are filled with disengaged, dissatisfied employees who don't trust their leaders, and those leaders, in turn, face shortened job tenures, career derailments, and dismissals."
Jeffrey Pfeffer, Thomas D. Dee II Professor of Organizational Behaviour,
Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Fill out this form and we will connect with you…
The Challenges Leaders Face
With operations worldwide, the Institute provides unique brain-based, process-focused, and outcome-driven methodologies and frameworks that help individuals and organizations facilitate positive change and lead more effectively. Organized through three key focus areas, NLI creates value for clients through focus in three areas.
Insight into behaviour from a neuroscience perspective through propriety research case studies and best practice industry research.
Research interpretation to enable subject matter experts and leaders.
Customised approach to applied neuroscience.
What Research Tells Us
Awareness alone does not deliver sustained behavioural change. Awareness, supported by practices that build habits, does
Slow is now fast. Humans do not multi-task; new behaviours are adopted one at a time, people learn in chunks and they learn more and better when there is time and space to reflect
Humans learn socially. We observe others, we share thinking with others and transfer skills to others. The more people involved in the learning process, the higher the adoption rate. Organisation-wide change requires scaled delivery
Learning happens in the moment when new information fits into existing knowledge and enables a person to make sense of the situation – the information that was presented facilitated insight
Change that sticks happens in organisations when
Leaders create systems that inspire, encourage and include
People feel safe to belong, learn, share, experiment and contribute in a social context as well as individually
Neuro-learning is a waltz; 1-2-3 concepts at a time; small chunks linked to specific practices; supported with reinforcement with time to pause and reflect

Turkey Taco Joes are the perfect solution when you can't decide between tacos and a sloppy joe! Ground turkey in a taco-inspired sloppy joe sauce on a Mexican bolillo roll.
Turkey Taco Joes
The kid had a friend spend the night last week so the boys could go to soldier training together the next morning. His bestie is still in high school but considering a military career so they are having fun doing drills and PT.
Turkey Taco Joes #tacoTuesday #sloppyjoe #lunch Click To Tweet
It's a great way for kids to get an idea of the physical demands of training. I can see the physical changes the kid is going to experience while he is in basic. His face is starting to fill out, shoulders are getting broader and he's decide not to shave until he leaves!
I needed a lunch that would fill them up once they were home and these Turkey Taco Joes fit the bill. I adore a good sloppy joe but sometimes you just want a taco. Ok, well I guess around the casa kitchen people always want tacos! lol
And Turkey Taco Joes were born. Plus I just like the way it sounds. Lean, mean and full of flavor these sandwiches are sure to be a hit with your family!

Recently, I wanted to display a directory structure as a tree. However, I did not want to do programming in a high level language like Java or Ruby and parse the file structure etc. I wanted to use something like Bash.
So, here it goes:
The output of this command will be like this:
Now to explain this:
First use the
Next, we need to split the
Next we have a more complex looking
Finally, the expression
So, here it goes:
find . -name '*' | sed -e 's/^/|-/' -e 's/[^-][^\/]*\//| /g' -e 's/| \([A-Za-z0-9_.]\)/| +--\1/'
The output of this command will be like this:
|-. | +--a.out | +--arraydecl.c | +--coverage | | +--a.out | | +--cov.c | +--interposn | | +--cmain.c | | +--cparts.c | | +--cparts.o | | +--libwithso.so | | +--main | | +--main.c | | +--main.o | | +--withso.c | +--IPC | | +--pipe.c | | +--pipe_impl.c | +--KandR | | +--detab.c | | +--entab.c | | +--Plan.txt | | +--Plan.txt1 | +--notbitand.c | +--ptrjoin.c | +--telewords.c
Now to explain this:
First use the
find command:
find . -name '*'This displays the name of all the files and directories under the current directory. Remember that using
find would display the relative path from the current directory and does not follow symbolic links, by default.
Next, we need to split the
sed command to understand it better.
-e 's/^/|-/'This replaces the beginning of every line with the characters
Next we have a more complex looking
sed expression.
-e 's/[^-][^\/]*\//| /g'This replaces any element in the path to the file except the
basename with three spaces.
Finally, the expression
-e 's/| \([A-Za-z0-9_.]\)/| +--\1/This replaces the two spaces followed by an alphabet/number/underscore/dot with a "+--" followed by the same alphabet/number/underscore/dot. This gives the "+--" in the structure.

A slow running personal computer is a result of lack of routine and scheduled maintenance that keeps it running smooth without any technical problems. We depend on the use of personal computers for our daily work both at home and at office. When the computer gets slow generally people think it is due to the ageing of the of the components of the computer. However, it is not due to the old components, the computer gets slow because of excessive clutter collected on the memory and the local storage.
Such a situation can easily get resolved with the help of the experts you can now take up the PC tune-up services from the certified and experienced technicians from SupportMart. SupportMart Technical Services offer specialized and expert tech-support services to its clients delivered to them on time via phone connection or remote access.
The computer can get slow for a variety of reasons such as use of applications and programs that use too much computer resources, these programs running in the background utilize the computer memory, processor power and resources. Similarly, many programs those are not important and required in use at the time of the boot up process of the computer.
Whenever the end-user starts the computer or laptop Microsoft windows and other programs create junk files. The accumulated junk files keep on being, accumulated on the local storage of the computer and that later on makes it work slowly.
Windows operating system has a key component called the "registry". The registry files keep-getting modified with the regular use of computer, different software and applications and eventually they get corrupted due to outdated and invalid data files. The accumulation of the invalid data files with reference to the windows registry impacts the computer negatively and slows down the computer.
SupportMart has a team of trained professionals certified to help the end-users with their necessary pc tune up service and fix the slow running computer. Many satisfied customers have given positive SupportMart Reviews based on satisfactory services.
