Be brave. Be heard.
I'm extremely uncomfortable writing this article. I hate confrontation in general and there is nothing more explosive than a political discussion. That's why most of my life I've shied away from talking about presidents and policies. I'm afraid of looking dumb and I don't like being shouted down.
But I'm ready to be heard. I'm ready to participate even though these discussions are veritable infernos right now. I'm ready to speak up, even if my eyebrows burn off, because it's the right thing to do.
Because the physical safety and civil rights of my friends and family are being threatened by our president-elect and his proposed team.
Maybe you almost stopped reading just now because I revealed my political concerns and they may be different from yours. Maybe you care more about jobs, immigration and national security. I understand. But wait.
This isn't about me convincing you about my views on equality in marriage, pay, work, bathrooms, religion and choice.
This is about whether our president-elect and his team are truly representing us. All of us.
No matter whether we care about equal rights, the labor worker, jobs, immigration, national security, the establishment or draining the swamp, we must ask ourselves:
Who is Trump and what does he truly care about?
He only cares about himself.
I'm not an expert and this is simply my opinion (based on extensive reading – see below), but I truly believe Trump has Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Yes, it's a real thing.
But it is very different from the typical Kardashian selfie-stick narcissism. People with NPD lack empathy, feel a sense of entitlement and lash out when criticized. (Sound familiar?)
Trump doesn't care about our concerns, issues, lives, jobs, lovers, skin color, belief system, republican or democrat.
Trump cares about Trump. Period. He only cares about what will make him rich, famous and well loved. And that is attention. Endless attention and ego stroking. And, man, are we giving him what he wants. (The people he's proposing for his team are especially good at it. Hence the job offers.)
Here are some well-written, thoughtful articles on the subject from people who know much more than I do. We need to understand what kind of behavior we're in for. (Hint: Nothing will change; he'll remain unpredictable and self-motivated.)
Easily digestible read: This woman has extensive relationship experience with people with NPD. She breaks down NPD behavior into short clear bullet points. If there is one article you read, it should be this one. Great if you only have a few minutes. "Coping With Chaos In The White House"
Medium-length article. This therapist puts NPD behavior up against the kind of nuanced temperament that is required of someone leading a country. (Spoiler Alert: They don't work very well together.) "The Narcissism of Donald Trump's Candidacy"
Dedicated read. Long, but detailed, objective, knowledgeable article from a psychological scientist who has made a career of examining the known behavior of presidents and how they predict their choices while in office. (And he's looking at the extensive library of Trump behavior, not just his campaign behavior.). Grab a cup of coffee (or whiskey…or both) and settle in.
"My aim is to develop a dispassionate and analytical perspective on Trump, drawing upon some of the most important ideas and research findings in psychological science today." "The Mind of Donald Trump"
Don't like the label? Think we need to adhere to the Goldwater Rule? I disagree, but this article explains it better than I do.
So, now what?
If you didn't vote for Trump, I hope you're already fighting and not hiding under the bed in Canada.
If you did vote for him, please know that I don't immediately assume that you're a racist, xenophobic, misogynist – because, no, not everyone who voted for him is.
You voted for what you cared about. Perhaps it was national security. Perhaps it was draining the swamp. Perhaps it was creating jobs. Perhaps it was immigration. All important issues.
But now is the time to really pay attention. Can you watch him with an objective eye and see his actions for what they are? Are he and his team good for national security? Are they draining the swamp? Do they really care about your jobs? Are their immigration policies really effective?
Is he telling the truth?
In addition to those issues, I implore you, please pay attention to the issues you may have ignored when you voted for him – especially if you believe that all people should be treated respectfully and equally. Is this man and his team representing all Americans? Or are they inciting verbal/physical violence and discrimination against marginalized groups, including blacks, Latinos, Muslims, women, and LGBT folks?
Whether or not he believed the bigotry and misogyny he spewed during his campaign isn't the issue. His words have given a giant green light to discrimination. The Southern Poverty Law Center reports a disturbing uptick in hate incidents across the country since November 8.
"But he's pulling back on his rhetoric," some say. Too late. No, Trump, we can't just get along.
If you voted for him, I understand the cognitive dissonance you may be experiencing. He said he would help you, but is he?
I implore you to hold his feet to the fire. Hold him accountable for his actions. Don't sit back and "see what happens." He's not going to change. If you don't like what he's doing, speak up. If you don't like who he's bringing on his team, speak up. If you don't think he's representing you, speak up. If you find racism, sexism, xenophobia, transphobia and homophobia abhorrent, speak up. If you recognize that he's dangerous because he is only for himself, speak up.
As I said, this has been extremely uncomfortable for me to write. But I refuse to stay quiet anymore. This is too important. My discomfort is nothing compared to the threat of physical harm and extinguished civil rights of my friends and family. I'm fighting for me and them. Who are you fighting for?
If you didn't vote for Trump, you may be devastated. If you voted for Trump, you may be feeling uncomfortable. Either way, do what's right. Be brave. Be heard. Speak up.
*** *** ***
Ready to hold him accountable? Ready to get involved?
I have done several things in the past few weeks I never would have done before. I have contacted my representative, made phone calls, signed up for a call to action email, donated to the ACLU, SPLC, Foster Campbell, Planned Parenthood (not for the first time) and I have encouraged others via social media to do the same. I have even called to thank various people and organizations for their actions because gratitude is as equally powerful as peaceful protesting.
If keeping up with all the issues paralyzes you (and they just keep coming, don't they?), pick the one that matters most and dedicate your energies to that cause.
- Indivisible: A Practical Guide To Resisting The Trump Agenda was compiled and written by formal congressional staffers regarding the best practices for making Congress listen. A volunteer effort with inside information on how to make your voice truly heard. (Hint: emails are not nearly enough.)
- Here's how you can find your representative. Here's another way to get their phone number right quick.
- Here's how to make your congressman listen. (Hint: phone calls are better than emails.)
- Phone shy? Email/letter anxious? Try ResistBot. This brilliant invention helps you contact your members of congress via texts, which are then turned instantly into faxes and delivered right quick. It's real; it works; my senator has even replied back via email!
- If you're one of the over 5 million people all over the world that went on the Women's March, then sign up for their 10 actions in 100 days to keep fighting. We've only just begun. (Also, we made history!)
- The Liberal Activist Toolkit is a fantastic resource. In their words, they are "a gateway drug to political activism for former armchair liberals." They have a far more comprehensive resource list than what I've started below. Visit them next. Seriously.
- Learn how to outfox fake news. If you're going to share information, verify the website and the facts…then share.
- Please, please, please, in the name of intelligent discourse, check your facts with Politifact, Snopes, and/or FactCheck.
- Stay informed about Trump's team. GLAAD's Trump Accountability Project is providing extensive links regarding his team's political views as a resource for journalists. Not limited to anti-LGBT issues.
- Need help digging the issues out of the chaos? Need suggestions about what can be done? So do I. These weekly emails really help break issues and actions down into bite-sized pieces: re:act, My Civic Workout and Wall Of Us.
- Learn how to step in when you witness harassment. (Written specifically for anti-Muslim discrimination, but can be applied to any kind of bigotry.)
- Donate: ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, Planned Parenthood.
- If you need help explaining to the non-bigoted/non-xenophobic/non-sexist Trump voter that they still voted for racism, xenophobia and sexism, The Cinemax Theory Of Racism explains it well.
Note: My blog, my rules. I'm open to positive, actionable suggestions. Bullying, group-bashing, name-calling, gaslighting, or otherwise hateful comments will be deleted.

Thanks but your lists doesn't include the Sprints in our area: http://www.umsprints.com/
Stan Meissner
Stan- They haven't released the 2016 schedules yet. And we do follow that series, even have their logo at the top of our main page, and receive press releases, etc. from them!
UMSS Winged, TSCS & Mini-Sprint schedules are on their website on the rules page. Wouldn't want to put it under schedules or anything.
Thank you. Now have their schedules posted.
Great, now I find their schedules after the vacation goes around. It looks like the winged cars are down to 21 nights and the non-wing has 32 dates. There is no Saint Croix Valley on either schedule and they switched to Sunday nights so for all intents and purposes it's back to where it was as far as classes of racing.
I'm coming off three summers of remodeling and plan on picking up a long overdue new camera body. I renewed the website for another year and hope to get my hands dirty a little more often this summer. It's not as easy running around with the camera all night now that my next birthday will be my 65th. We'll try to do a little more this season and see how it goes.
God, you are old!
Damn right I am and you know what that means don't you? You are old too!
Yup, damn surprising that we survived!
Now up to 110 Sprint Schedules between tracks and associations! Waiting on at least 10 Tracks and 4 Associations

What can you buy for £2.50? A cup of Coffee? A piece of cake? Not a pint, that's for sure nor a pack of cigarettes. Why my obsession with £2.50? Well that is slightly more than the amount the Council is increasing the Precept by. The Precept is increasing it by £2.13 that's less than 5p a week.
So if you live in a Band D property your precept will go from £31.35 to £33.48. And remember we are legally obligated to spend in the Parish or on things for the benefit of the residents. So what do you get for your money? We have 3 office staff, based in our Thames Avenue office, providing us with the clerical support that we need. They are the day-to-day face of the council, they will be the people you see if your visit the office, they will be the ones that answer your 'phone call and answer your emails. The office hours are Monday to Friday 9am until 4pm. We will continue using our own maintenance staff to empty litter and dog waste bins, to maintain the playgrounds and deal with fly tipping and graffiti. By having our own staff we can prioritise the work, and ensure the things that are important to our residents get done, in a timely manner. Only last month, in response to a complaint about very offensive graffiti, our staff were out within the hour removing it, much to the complainants' satisfaction.
On another occasion, we received an email complaining about fly tipping on Tadpole Lane, within a few hours we had received a follow-up email congratulating us on out swift response in removing the offending waste. Our maintenance staff work on a rota 7 days a week.
We are also expanding on a trial we started last April in part of Taw Hill, to cut the grass and trim the shrubs. In the tail end of 2014, we discussed with Swindon Borough Council the idea of taking over these tasks. The trial started in April 2015. We kept a close eye on the quality of the work being done by our contractors, with the view, that if satisfactory, we would gradually provide these services across the Parish. But external events, in October/November last year, meant we had to reconsider our plans. Instead of having a phased rollout, over several years, we had to consider taking the work on, all in one go, from April 2016.
We have spent the last few months, carefully considering the implications of this action. We sought legal advice as well as financial, and spent many hours discussing what we thought would be best for the area we live in and the residents. We came to the conclusion that by taking on the responsibility, we could provide a service more attuned to the needs of our residents. So from April, you will be seeing our contractors doing the grounds maintenance, cutting the grass, trimming the roadside shrubs, pruning low trees (taller trees will still be deal with by SBC).
The Precept also provides Leisure Gardens, a community bus and also we provide small grants for local groups. All in all we feel we provide a lot for £33.48 which is just over 64p a week. You can see the 2016 – 2017 budget by clicking here Parish Precept Over 100k Haydon Wick 2016/17
The Parish Precept is an element of the Council Tax collected by Swindon Borough which is the passed to the Parish Council to provide services within the Parish. The amount collected for a Band D house for 2015 – 2016 has not increased from the previous year although the services provided have been improved due to bringing services back in-house and by a rise in the number of properties used in the formula. You can see the 2015 – 2016 budget here Parish Precept Over 100K Haydon Wick 2015/16 (.pdf)

As President of the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries (DRMM), I depend heavily upon the assistance of the community with the work that we do for the homeless and disadvantaged. Frankly, we couldn't perform our life-changing work without our volunteers, donors, and supporters. We are proud to count more than 50,000 donors and 120 faith-based institutions as our loyal friends.
Let me give you just a few examples of what happens when the community lends a hand to make a difference in the lives of others. Earlier this year, Starbucks employees from across the country volunteered at two DRMM facilities. They helped paint and sort hundreds of boxes of food and toiletry donations. The group assisted in demolition work at the site of our new teaching restaurant, the Cornerstone Bistro, which will be managed primarily by DRMM clients enrolled in our Culinary Arts School. A Starbucks representative says they helped us because giving back is a big part of the company's culture.
Many other corporations reach out to DRMM. Cooper-Standard Automotive was the major reason we were able to establish a free health clinic in the Detroit-area for homeless children and their mothers. The S.A.Y. Detroit Family Health Clinic is the first of its kind in the nation — open around the clock and providing maintenance and preventative healthcare for the uninsured and underinsured. Cooper-Standard Automotive contributed money and hard work to get this project off the ground.
And, DRMM was able to give 800 families a brighter Christmas last year, thanks to the generous donations from the Michigan-based Beatrice and Reymont Paul Foundation and many other supporters.
Miracles really do happen. Especially when you can count on the community.

The diversity in clinical signs of porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD) has swine veterinarians perplexed in finding common themes and treatment regimens to make a dent in this disease complex.
Six months ago, swine veterinarian Keith Erlandson and his colleagues at Carthage (IL) Veterinary Service weren't too worried about PCVAD. Occasionally, an individual pig would get sick and they'd try to treat it.
However, reports of some serious problems in Canada soon heightened concerns, followed by a few isolated cases of high mortality in finishing pigs about four months ago.
"Then about two months ago, all heck broke lose," Erlandson says. "Producers were calling to report fall-off pigs all over the barn. They would swear they weren't there yesterday."
Another common observation producers are making is more graphic: "Producers will call and say, 'We've got pigs with purple ears and purple butts; it kinda looks like salmonella, but kinda not. We've shot the heck out of these rainbow pigs (referring to the multitude of treatment marks on the pigs), but they just never respond,"' he adds.
Erlandson shares producers' frustrations in trying to find anything that works against PCVAD. "It is very disheartening to me to go out and look at rainbow pigs and try to think of some therapeutic in my arsenal I can tell this producer to use that is going to help his pigs. We've tried several therapeutic strategies, and many times none of them have seemed to work."
Co-Infections, Treatments
The Illinois swine veterinarian says the most common co-infections implicated with PCVAD in his practice include porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), Mycoplasmal pneumonia, salmonella, swine influenza virus and E. coli.
Even PRRS serum inoculation has been blamed for igniting PCVAD problems. "Some of the veterinarians in our clinic say they have really seen an increase in circovirus in herds that have undergone serum therapy," he says.
Erlandson says equally frustrating is the inability to find a pattern or common denominators in herds that get infected with PCVAD.
"I've got well-managed, PRRS-negative, mycoplasma-negative herds and there is nothing they can do to save the pigs. I've seen herds that are PRRS-positive and mycoplasma-positive that get PCVAD, but other PRRS-positive and mycoplasma-positive herds that never seem to get any circovirus-associated disease," he explains.
Vaccination for PCVAD has been implemented in a number of production units experiencing problems, he says. But product has been in short supply in the face of heightened demand. Fort Dodge Animal Health's Suvaxyn PCV2 One Dose is currently the only fully licensed vaccine for PCVAD. Several other companies are reported to have vaccines waiting in the wings.
Erlandson recently spoke at a PCVAD Strategic Planning Workshop in South Sioux City, NE, sponsored by the National Pork Board, to develop research priorities.
Nebraska Experiences
In a talk at the George Young Swine Conference just preceding the Pork Board workshop, Nebraska swine veterinarian Keith Schumacher of Howells, NE, says he has heard comments about moving to small finishing pens to combat the effects of PCVAD. However, his clients with large-pen finishing rooms (250-500 head) have had fewer problems in general than other producers with small, 30-head finishing pens.
Typically, operations will go through "3-4 weeks of just like a nightmare to get through circovirus," he explains. In his practice, Salmonella cholerasuis is a common co-infection. In the past, salmonella breaks lasted 7-10 days. With PCVAD, salmonella problems can last three weeks, he adds.
Recent outbreaks include a trio of players: circovirus coupled with salmonella and PRRS virus. To a lesser extent, circovirus co-infections consist of Streptococcus suis, Pasteurella multocida, mycoplasma, ileitis and a little bit of swine influenza.
Many pigs with PCVAD will look like a greasy pig, but often perform similar to normal-appearing penmates, he says.
Schumacher has not had much success using antibiotics to control disease factors associated with PCVAD. "But anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin) have proven helpful in reducing viremia (the presence of virus in the blood) and fever, stimulating appetite and just making the pigs feel better.
"Inferon alpha pulsed in the water once a day for 20 days has been implemented to try and help reduce viremia," he says.
While it has been difficult to identify proper control measures for PCVAD, Schumacher believes it is important to focus on environment and pig comfort. "If you have really healthy pigs, you can get away with being lax on a lot of that stuff. But if you have a lot of bugs in there, those things can really come back and bite you," he stresses.
Minnesota Observations
The bulk of PCVAD cases that Pipestone (MN) Veterinary Clinic swine veterinarian Cameron Schmitt sees are in the pigs ranging from 90-130 lb., commonly observed as wasting, mild diarrhea and pale pigs that get stomach ulcers.
What's striking to Schmitt is that when he submits samples to the diagnostic lab, circovirus is invariably present in low levels in lymphoid tissues in pigs of all ages, from birth to market. He says surveys of slaughter hogs have shown a high prevalence of circovirus.
He suggests the disease is also sex-linked. "We lose 2-3 times as many barrows to this disease as we do gilts," he relates.
Circovirus-salmonella co-infections are controlled through vaccinating for salmonella. Circovirus-ileitis co-infections are more common; vaccine has worked fairly well to control ileitis.
Pneumonia problems linked to PCVAD can be severe, and he has yet to find an antibiotic that works consistently to treat it.
Economic Case Study
Tom Gillespie, DVM, Rensselaer, IN, provided a glimpse at what PCVAD can cost an operation. A 1,200-sow, two-site production unit in Indiana was producing 26-27 pigs weaned/mated female/year during 2002-2004. PRRS-naïve weaned pigs were overstocked into conventional nursery and finishing barns.
In late 2004, the system was diagnosed with pneumonia, a variant form of H3N2 swine flu, but no PRRS virus. Lymphoid depletion with porcine circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) was present, and a histological (tissue) diagnosis of inflammation by the pathologist supported the clinical disease expression. The herd was experiencing PCVAD, he says.
The disease challenges produced the following changes in production:
A 3.24% increase in finishing mortality, producing an increase in costs of $2.78/pig;
A loss of 22.7% in average daily gain, valued at $2.09/pig; and
A loss in feed efficiency of 0.23 g./pig, worth $1.73/pig.
In all, the direct loss from the disease insult came to $6.60/pig. Based on 13,300 pigs placed during the six-month period of PCVAD losses, there was a lost opportunity of $87,780.
Gillespie says those losses due to PCVAD during 2004-2005 actually constituted a $100,000 difference in returns, because the feed the dead pigs consumed, which was not counted as a loss in the above numbers, was instead included with the feed consumed by the live pigs.
But that still doesn't tell the whole story of the impact of PCVAD and related diseases, he says. Before the disease bout, 90% of all weaned pigs went to market.
In contrast, based on the last set of 1,073 pigs placed in the finisher, 635 were marketed, 255 were lights, 110 were "off pigs" that the producer didn't receive value for, and 73 died.
"Suddenly we were dealing with 7% mortality and almost 24% lights and culls. We ended up marketing just 59% of the pigs that were placed in a typical 1,000-head finisher room. That's the true cost of this disease. It's the deads that get our attention. But what do we do with these lightweight pigs and under-market value pigs?" questions Gillespie.
He points out the costs of PCVAD are "very, very similar" to the cost of a PRRS break.
PCVAD Task Force
The American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) has developed a PCVAD Task Force with members from the United States, Mexico and Canada, says task force chairman Gillespie. He spoke at a PCVAD conference sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., held at their Swine Health Management Center in Ames, IA.
The main thrust of the task force is to explore epidemiology — "where this disease is and where it is going," explains Gillespie.
He says the key disease characteristics of PCVAD include a doubling of mortality and attrition — pigs that don't make market weight. PCVAD exists in many forms — reproductive, respiratory and enteric — well documented by European experience.
The University of Minnesota and Purdue University are coordinating an effort to track PCVAD cases worldwide.
PCVAD Research
The National Pork Board, using $300,000 in Pork Checkoff dollars and $200,000 in funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), has assigned 10 projects to researchers in the United States and Canada, according to Pam Zaabel, DVM, director of Swine Health Information and Research for the Pork Board.
"We asked the USDA to allocate funds for PCVAD because it is a high priority for the industry," she explains.
The projects look at the unique causes of PCVAD, strain or type differences, immune responses, transmission, pathogenicity or how disease develops, the role of co-factors and biosecurity.
Zaabel's goal is to build a specific research initiative at the Pork Board to address PCVAD issues similar to the PRRS Initiative.
Circovirus Cases on the Upswing
Diagnosticians have been identifying porcine circovirus in pig tissues for quite a long time at the Iowa State University (ISU) Diagnostic Lab in Ames, according to Kent Schwartz, DVM.
Over time, the swine circoviruses have seemingly evolved and grown in virulence. It used to be that non-pathogenic Type 1 was most common. In recent years, pathogenic Type 2 has become more prevalent than Type 1.
As it has become more prevalent in the swine herd, porcine circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) has caused more damage as it teams up with a seemingly endless variety of co-infections, Schwartz reported during the George Young Swine Conference in South Sioux City, NE.
After somewhat of a dip in cases submitted to the ISU lab in the last few years, Schwartz has seen a resurgence in porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD) positive samples submitted to the lab in the last 12 months.
"What has really struck me in the last couple of years is the amount of PCV2 associated with inflammation that we are seeing in multiple organ systems of the pig," he says.
Schwartz postulates that inflammation and immune response associated with co-infections or co-factors can augment PCVAD severity. The virus seems to zero in on areas of inflammation to make conditions worse, he continues. The virus is transported in blood and likes to localize in lymph nodes and lymphoid tissues.
In some cases, gastric ulcers contribute substantially to high mortality, he comments. He reports of the 30% spike in finisher mortality in his own hog operation, 10% was traced to gastric ulcers and circovirus, with not much else detected at the time of death.
He reminds veterinarians and technicians not to forget to cut open the stomachs of submitted pigs to check for this ulceration.
While lungs are often damaged by PCVAD, increasingly, Schwartz finds cases where lungs are okay but the intestines, kidneys or other vital organs are severely affected.
The bottom line is that quite a few different tissues can be affected by circovirus, making diagnosis of PCVAD and host co-infections in each case a unique challenge, he points out.
Sample Submissions
Select three acutely affected pigs and a couple of chronically affected pigs and submit a complete set of tissues for laboratory work-up to identify agents associated with disease and mortality.
This information can be supplemented by a serological profile (for example, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, swine influenza virus, Mycoplasmal pneumonia) of 5-10 pigs at several time points leading up to and following peak mortality.
"Often, peak mortality is a crescendo of the effects of infections occurring in previous weeks. Careful selection of pigs several weeks before peak mortality will likely reveal the agents that will be associated with peak mortality," says Schwartz.
MAGIC Program
For producers/veterinarians working with Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. (BIVI) on PCVAD, the company has developed MAGIC — Monitoring Assignment for Global Insight into Circovirus.
The goal of the program is to understand how the syndrome is linked to farm practices and how the disease impacts pig production, says BIVI's John Kolb, DVM.
The process starts with a serological screening of the breeding herd to establish a case diagnosis of PCVAD.
Then five pigs are selected for further diagnosis — four sick pigs and one healthy pig. Samples are collected at specific times during and before peak mortality to attempt to define all of the specific disease agents at work in the herd, says Kolb.
Kent Schwartz, DVM, Iowa State University (ISU) Diagnostic Lab, conducted a pig necropsy session during a recent swine conference on porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD), hosted by Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. Swollen mesenteric lymph nodes are a good sign that salmonella or porcine circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) may be present.
In the second panel, Schwartz dissects a lung with lesions of interstitial pneumonia; this is not specific for a particular disease agent, but is often associated with multiple agents and co-infections.
The yellowish abscess appears to be due to improper pig castration procedures, emphasizing that not all diseases or wasting conditions are infectious
In finishing up a necropsy, Schwartz stresses that it's vital to post several pigs to confirm a pattern of disease. Laboratory assistance is helpful to determine which agents are involved before making a disease diagnosis.

Analyst Reduces BofA Estimates, RIMM's New CEO a Positive
Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC): JMP Securities reduced its 2012 EPS estimate for Bank of America to 78c from $1.01, versus the consensus estimate of 85c. The reduction reflects what the firm sees as weakness in the bank's trading and ongoing weakness in traditional banking, and the firm maintains a Market Perform rating.
Research In Motion Limited (NASDAQ:RIMM): After Research In Motion announced that its co-CEOs were stepping down from those roles and would be replaced by Thorsten Heins, RBC Capital sees the move as positive, as it allows for "change and continuity" and may ease investors' concerns, according to the firm. The firm, however, thinks the extent to which the move will impact the company is unclear and it maintains a Sector Perform rating.
Tempur Pedic International Inc. (NYSE:TPX): Oppenheimer predicts that Tempur-Pedic's Q4 results and 2012 guidance, along with the launch of a new mattress line later in January, will be positive catalysts for the stock. The firm continues to recommend buying the stock.
Online Resources Corp. (NASDAQ:ORCC): DA Davidson expects Online Resources to report stronger than expected Q4 results, as the firm thinks that the company has benefited from the Durbin Amendment. The firm maintains a Buy rating on the stock.
Biogen Idec Inc. (NASDAQ:BIIB): After the FDA changed the label of Biogen's MS treatment, Tsybari, to warn that it's a PML risk factor for those with JCV, Oppnehimer expects the change to result in higher sales as doctors become more comfortable prescribing the medicine to JCV-negative patients.

I have done some testing on this with the latest version of CSS Menu Writer (2.0.3) in DW CS3 on Win XP. When I did this I can confirm that there is an editable region that is created for the menu_ie stuff, but I could not get it to create this area within the head editable region on my template. Please post back with some more info about the version of DW, the OS you are using and any other details you can think of about the process you used to apply the menu to the template.
I will do some more testing to see if there is an issue under certain circumstances that may cause this.
In my template the editable head region ends before any of the Menu Writer code begins.

I couldn't show these before Christmas for fear that the recipients may see them. And it is kind of a no-brainer who they were for if they happenned to see them.
This is my neice Alyssa, with her new fairy quilt. I did her a pillowcase for her birthday in November, but I don't think she had any idea a quilt was in the works. It's bright. BRIGHT. I had a local woman, Mary Dacey, do the machine quilting so that I'd ensure it'd be finished in time.
My mom got the 60" table runner, as requested back in the early summer. I don't think she expected it though. Perhaps nobody really expected that I actually listened when they subtley made requests. Her runner has 8 matching dark blue napkins too. I learned that the mitred corners look great and are not that hard to do. Use the iron! The fabrics are some great ones I got at a local quilt shop. It's hand quilted too.
Here's a picture of a table runner I did and sent to somebody. It was a big quandry whether to actually give this one away or not. The piecing took a long time and is exactingly perfect, if I do say so myself. I love the Provincial style fabrics. In the end, I let my husband decide if we kept this or gave it away (actually, he chose between this runner and another I was working on and have of course NOT finished!). I am really bummed, which sucks because it's not at all in the spirit of Christmas, but the recipient of this lovely runner sent us something with no appeal whatsoever, and just like every past year, has yet to even say thank you. Oh well, next year this runner will be for me!
My brother met his wife when his submarine stopped in Japan, 10 years ago. The sub was enroute to home port in Hawaii. She was working civil service on a Navy base there doing occupational therapy. Within a year they came back stateside and begun planning a wedding. Since about 2000, they have been living in either NY or CT, and we have visited frequently. We watched as they had 2 girls, that are now 4 and 6. At the end of this month, they are being transferred to Italy for 2 years. She used to travel a lot before they married. So, for my brother & sister-in-law, I made these placemats and napkins in pretty Japanese fabrics, to help remind them of where they have come from, as they venture out into their new life. I just love how they came out. The napkins are in the parasol Geisha girl fabric. There is also a table centerpiece that I failed to get a picture of that is a hexagon with the parasol girls that is done like a kaleidoscope. Real cool. I was kind of in a funk on Christmas and did not get pictures. That's a pitfall to my character...I love to make the great presents but the holiday itself stresses me out so that I cannot really enjoy it. I often just get frustrated and upset that other people do not put the forethought into presents that I do. That's life...

Document ID: 52500
Updated: Feb 02, 2006
This document provides details for the configuration of the Generic Transparency Descriptor (GTD) ISUP Transparency. It also explains the configuration and troubleshooting items for the transparent transport mechanism for the Cisco PGW 2200 to pass ISUP information.
Readers of this document should have knowledge of these topics:
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
Cisco PGW 2200 Software Releases 9.3(2) and 9.4(1)
Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.3 or 12.3T
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
For more information on document conventions, refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.
ISUP Transparency provides the capability to transfer ISUP messages and information elements from an ingress Cisco PGW 2200 (SG1) across an IP network to an egress Cisco PGW 2200 (SG2) where the ISUP messages are re-packaged and sent out to the PSTN/SS7 network. This feature is important because it enables the transport of calls from the PSTN network through an IP network back out to a PSTN network without any loss of signaling information. ISUP Transparency is achieved with the use of Cisco's GTD mechanism. GTD provides a means to specify messages of various protocols used in the PSTN network in plain text format. This is so they can be easily understood by the network elements within the IP network or lie on the boundary between PSTN and IP.
Note: If an SS7 overlap Subsequent Address Message (SAM) is used on SG1 (Figure 1), the NI2+ is limited to the use of only Enbloc and not Overlap sending. This is due to NI2+ specifications. This means that if the SS7 link on SS7 receives an SS7 Initial Address Message (IAM) followed by SAM, the terminated SG2 forwards the information out on the SS7 link as Enbloc, or one IAM message.Figure 1
NI2+ is part of Bell_1268, Telcordia Technologies Technical Reference TR-NWT-001268 Issue 1, December 1991. On page 23/434, this technical reference explains that the procedures and states associated with Overlap Sending are not supported. Only Enbloc is supported for this solution. GTD fills in the gaps to carry data, but does not override any of the interworking implementation. If there are issues where the interworking mapping differs from GTD carried information, the native protocol should supercede GTD.
Complete these steps.
Create the GTD information on the PGW 2200.
demask mml>prov-sta::srcver="active",dstver="gtd2" MGC-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2004-05-17 12:16:08.470 MET M COMPLD "PROV-STA" ; demask mml>prov-add:gtdparam:name="ISUP",gtdparamstring="All" MGC-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2004-05-17 12:16:18.438 MET M COMPLD "gtdparam" ;
Note: If you enable GTD on your system, thses ISUP parameter codes are always allowed, regardless of your individual selections:
Event Information (EVI)
Known Field Compatibility Information (FDC)
Global Call Identification (GCI)
Message Compatibility Information (MCI)
Parameter Compatibility Information (PCI)
Protocol Name (PRN)
For example, to modify a GTD parameter set to support all of the GTD parameters, enter this command:
In another example, enter this command to modify a GTD parameter set to support select GTD parameters:

You need to restart if you changed/modified any property values in order for the changes to take effect. See Table 4-4 in the MML Basics documentation for additional information.
Verify the GTD configuration on the PGW 2200.
Note: The items in bold type are important items associated with GTD in the MML prov-rtrv:gtdparam:name="isup" command.

Figure 3: Example for FastConnect = 0
FastConnect - The default value that locally maps significant 'call-proceeding' to the Address Complete Message (ACM). This local mapping prevents egress ACM from being transparently mapped on the ingress side. Embedded GTD in egress ACM arrives later when ingress ACM has already been sent
FastConnect = 1 - This prevents locally generated NI2+ 'call-proceeding' messages (without GTD information) from triggering SS7 ACM. Ingress ACM is triggered by Egress ACM and holds all GTD information. This is the recommended value when GTD is enabled. See Cisco bug ID CSCdx23349 (registered customers only) .
ForwardCLIinIAM = 1 ForwardSegmentedNEED = 1 GLARE = 0 GRA2 = 0 GtdCapTypeProp = ISUP GtdMsgFmt = c !--- GtdMsgFmt can be 'c' (compact) or 'v' (verbose).
IsupTransEarlyACMEnable = 0 See Cisco bug ID CSCea87770 (registered customers only) . This adds the NASPATH property IsupTransEarlyACMEnable (per Q.699 and H.246) where ACM does not map to anything (no Progress or Alerting). In this case, ISUP Transparency is lost.
This happens when these paramaters are set in the ACM's BCI:
Called Party Status = No Indication
ISUP Indicator = ISUP all the way
ISDN Access Indicator = Terminating access ISDN
No InBand Info available
For this situation a Progress message is sent with ProgressIndicator=9. This is across NI2c when no message is normally mapped. PI=9 is an "Empty" progress message; no progress information is actually relayed. It is an empty message that enables you to relay the GTD information to take care of ISUP transparency, in an instance where H.246 normally has no message mapped.
Progress with PI=9 is sent under these conditions for early ACM:
IsupTransEarlyACMEnable Flag is set to 1 for this sigPath.
The remote GTD protocol is an ISUP protocol.
The BCI parameters do not map to a progress/alerting message per Q.699/H.246.
This is made configurable with the addition of a new NASPATH property:
IsupTransEarlyACMEnable (default = 0)
It is set to 1 to enable this empty progress message to be sent on early ACM.
PI=9 on the IOS gateway is associated with Cisco bug ID CSCea86191 (registered customers only) . If Progress validation is not turned on in the gateway, IOS does not check PI values. This fix is available in Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.3 and 12.3T.

Note: If you run into any problem, insert this information in the Service Request you open with Cisco Technical Support.
If the Ingress Cisco gateway is configured with an image which supports GTD, the Ingress gateway builds GTD information and inserts it in the raw message. It then passes to Egress. The ISDN stack at the Egress gateway receives this raw message from VoIP and sends out the FACILITY message in SETUP. If you do not want this information, turn it off with the CLI signaling forward rawmsg in the corresponding dial-peer (or turn on signaling forward rawmsg under voice service voip). The command no isdn gtd stops the ISDN stack from building GTD.
Collect a PGW 2200 MDL trace if you run into a problem.Use this procedure to collect an MDL trace via the MML command sta-sc-trc (Start Trace).
Identify the Originating SS7 SigPath Number or the Originating TrunkGroup Number on which calls are placed.
Rotate the log: run script under /opt/CiscoMGC/bin/log_rotate.sh.
Enter this command to start the MDL trace:

Perform a test (make a call).
Enter this command to stop the MDL trace:
Identify the Call Id (C:) of the bad call.
If this test call is made in a test environment, only one CALL_ID is displayed.
Note: These files can contain tracings from many calls that are all mixed up together if the capture is taken on a production Cisco PGW 2200. Each tracing record in the file has a specific record type and records information of a type that relates to that record. Each record has a Call ID that relates it to a specific call.
Convert the MDL trace into a readable format:
get_trc.sh <trace file name>
Type Call Id at the prompt to jump to the MDL trace of the bad call.
Choose option C to convert the trace file.
Note: .btr files are binary trace files that are produced by the Cisco PGW 2200 tracer function. The main part of the file name is given in the Cisco PGW 2200 MML command sta-sc-trc. The PGW 2200 always adds a .btr extension to these files. With the use of the C option, the file is converted into a text format and the extension has .trc files that are text trace files. They contain detailed line by line trace information from the MDO code that was run in the simulation replay that produced the file. Therefore, they contain MDL traces.
The trace file is in /opt/CiscoMGC/var/trace.
Collect the platform.log file under /opt/CiscoMGC/var/log.
In some cases the Cisco Technical Support engineer can ask for other platform.log information related to the problem this is reported during the handling of the Technical Support case.

Exposed: huge cuts in voluntary sector funding
Now the truth can be revealed:
* overall funding for 2007-8 is £4.276 million but that hides a big cut within the year: from April-September funding is £2.345 million; from October-March it drops to £1.930 million with the new grants regime
* then in 2008-9 funding is slashed from £4.276 million to £3.182 million - a cut of 26% in one year!
It's been a bad week for Cllr Antony Lillis. He is responsible for the embarrassing climbdown on closing Hurlingham & Chelsea school which has left the Tories' schools strategy in disarray (see previous blog).
Now he has been exposed on voluntary sector funding - no cuts indeed!
It is time for Cllr Lillis to resign.

Cllr Lillis certainly has had a bad week.
I'm gobsmacked that neither he nor Cllr Bottlebank Fowler have offered their resignations over the Hurlingham and Chelsea fiasco. The needless disruption and damage they've caused to education in H+C is unforgivable.
But then again, from what I hear, all decisions are taken by Cllr Greenhalgh. Perhaps neither Lillis nor Fowler feel any responsibility for the actions of Children's Services. Lets hope they're spending their Cabinet Members allowances wisely - doubles all round?

Yes - and Cllr Lillis is still denying (in this week's Chronicle) that the council is cutting funding to the voluntary sector despite the figures for 2007-8 and 2008-9 from his own cabinet report.
Time for his last orders.

This is good reporting. Now, can you direct me to the actual report itself.
If you provide some clues, I should be able to find it.
email me directly on email@example.com .. for this or any reason you might be able to think of.

Hello Jon. In reference to your post - what you say would beg the question regards how united the current party is now.
Do say a bit on that if you can.
Thank you in anticipation.

Hearting :: Pearls
I recently became fascinated with baroque pearls and when I found these ivory baroque akoya pearls, I absolutely had to get them. Baroque akoya pearls are cultured saltwater pearls and have the appearance of a tear-drop shape. Juxtaposed with blue-flash labradorite hearts and a largely lagoon-blue gem palette, my idea of a long strand necklace was brought to life:

A band of burglars is making homeowners pay dearly for mowing their lawns, police said Monday.
Lt. John Hollihan said at least three houses were burglarized during the weekend while the residents were outside cutting grass. "These people are looking for people out cutting their lawns," he said.
Hollihan said the burglars are thought to be juveniles who sneak around the back of houses and slip inside while the occupants are out doing yardwork. He said houses in the 200 block of Southeast 24th Avenue and the 300 and 400 block of Southwest Fourth Avenue were burglarized between 4 and 6 p.m. Saturday.
Hollihan said the juveniles may be working with adults who survey neighborhoods from a tan-colored Dodge or Plymouth min-van. He said cash and jewelry was taken in each burglary.

So this is my entry into the final round of NYC Midnight's Short Screenplay Competition. I get to find out on March 12th if the judges actually thought it was any good. Here are entries one, two and three.
For this one, the criteria was:
- Genre: Open
- Object: Birthday Cake
- Location: Morgue
That first bit was intimidating, but exciting. On one hand, one less choice to make when building an outline is acutally pretty comforting, but this time the choice was all mine. On the other, I didn't really get the opportunity to do either of my favourite genres yet–namely "science fiction" and "hardboiled"–so this was basically a chance to grab my action figures and smush them together for five pages.
So, uh, yeah. Here's what that looks like.

Planning a mural for a child's room can be tricky. They're a financial investment just like any other space and you want it to last. That can be tricky when your child's interests can change as they grow and develop their own sense of style. You want it to be fun and inviting and something your child can enjoy and not grow out of too quickly. We can help you discover what would work best for your child's space.
In most cases you will notice that if the mural involves animals, we will paint them in a realistic style but keep them friendly. The helps when trying to make the mural age appropriate of a span of many years. We also like to include personal touches like the child's name as shown on the spaceman suite and the pre-teen fashion wall or loved pets. If possible we discourage the painting of superhero's, movie or cartoon characters that come and go in popularity and become dated rather quickly but even those can be painted in such away making it cost effective to paint for a short period of time and then paint over when the child gets board with them. A child's room should be one of their favorite spaces in their home. Let us help you create that special experience for them.

It was a normal day at Fairy Tail. When suddenly the guild doors are kicked open and there standing were ten boys. And in a flash they were all circling Fairy Tail's Stellar mage, Lucy Heartfillia.
What happens?
What are they going to do?
Do they know Lucy?
And how?
But mostly, who are they?
Do you want to know?
Well then read on to find out, who they are and what connections they have with Lucy.
OC x Lucy. Gray x Lucy. Sting x Lucy.

That almost sounds like me, but now all you have to do is add funnel cake and churros. That would be exactly like me.

Njoli from FICA-NY send this write up about their June event for kids:
June 12th-!3th, 2010.
It was the Youth in Action: Service through Movement Conference in NYC. A really beautiful event with workshops taught completely by volunteers from around the city, country and the world. It was a wonderful thing to have such a variety of workshops: african & african brazilian percussion, capoeira movement & music, yoga, health & nutrition, art & the environment. Young people of all ages were with us and the energy was vibrant. Family and friends were there to support and to learn. There were struggles and obstacles (as there are with all events) but in the end, we were so glad for the outcome and look forward to all the opportunities to bring more events like this to the young people in our worldwide capoeira community.
We want to give a huge thanks again to all of guest instructors:
•Treinel Kamau - FICA Philly
•Atlanta Amado Forsyth - Samba
•Aloan Damasceno - FICA Bahia
•Karen Nicely - Yoga
•Stephen Dahmer MD - Health & Nutrition
•Ted Gousse L.Ac. - Health & Nutrition
and to our Mestres for their support and guidance.
Check out our website for even more pictures of this exciting event.
Be well.

Andi Adams writes, teaches, gets excited about performing random acts of kindness, invents words, and talks with strangers, as often as she can. She loves learning about the world, about others, and about herself, and uses that knowledge to write realistic fiction – everything from YA Fantasy to Women's Lit. She has a passion for travel, for all things Harry Potter (of course!), and for her two dogs, who are also incidentally her biggest fans. The Girl in the Glass Box is Andi's first novel. For a daily dose of crazy or to see pictures of her cute fur-babies, follow her on Twitter and on Instagram.
What are five things people may not know about you?
1. I lived in Paris and went to the Sorbonne to study French Civilization and Phonetics.
2. I have a Harry Potter tattoo on my ankle. (And I'm pretty sure I'd be sorted into Ravenclaw.)
3. I sang in an all-girls a cappella group in college and still keep in touch with many of them. (SOP Shout Out!)
4. I've competed in four Sprint Triathlons over the past five years and I hope to do another at the end of this month.
5. I'm really crafty and love creative artsy stuff. Painting, party-planning, cooking – all of it. (My brother-in-law swears I should open a food truck that serves enchiladas and key lime pie, two of my specialties according to him.) I also paint canvas shoes for fun. I painted myself a pair of Harry Potter shoes and get stopped all the time about them. This penchant for creative pursuits lends itself well to my obsession with Pinterest (aka – the time vortex.)
Have you written any other books that are not published?
I have written a children's book series and am working on getting them published. And I've written a bunch of poetry, some of which has been published here and there.
What do you think about the ebook revolution?
Ebooks are awesome, especially for those who travel and need to have a bunch of books with them. I will always prefer reading a printed copy, but there are many instances when I've been grateful to have a number of books with me when I'm away from home. In addition, I feel like they've really liberated certain reading demographics. Many times people have felt embarrassed to read certain book genres or topics for one reason or another, but e-readers have eliminated that fear of judgment, which is really awesome.
What is your writing style?
I really love writing dialogue. Actually, I like it so much that I've given a lot of thought to writing screenplays. I mean, I love movies and I love dialogue. Sounds like something I should attempt, right? And I also really think it's important to incorporate female characters who are diverse, well-rounded, and dynamic. But never at the expense of men. Empowering women and treating them like, you know, humans, should not be done in an effort to bring down another group of people. Characters should be individuals. There are bad men and bad women, just as there are good men and good women. Generalizations and stereotypes don't belong in realistic fiction.
Do you write alone or in public?
It's really hard for me to stay focused when I'm home and family and friends are around. I hate having to excuse myself from what's going on to get work done (I have a little bit of FOMO, "fear of missing out," when it comes to that.) But usually, I like to take my work elsewhere, out of my apartment to limit my distractions. For instance, there's a conference room in my apartment building, so sometimes I'll go sit in there and work. Or I'll grab my computer and head to a coffee shop. For someone who works from home, it's almost like getting up and reporting in for work when I have to leave the comfort of home. That simple act of leaving makes my working time while I'm out more focused and uninterrupted. But of course, on rainy or lazy days, it's nice to work on my couch in my pjs.
Do you set goals for writing a certain number of words a week or do you only write when inspiration strikes?
Writing only when inspiration strikes is a recipe for never completing anything. Truth be told, I wish I was more diligent about keeping a daily writing goal, but for sure, I write more regularly than only when inspiration strikes. When I was in my MFA program for Writing Popular Fiction, I had a pretty stringent writing goal per month. It was incredibly difficult and stressful to keep, especially while teaching full-time and completing the rest of my coursework.
What do you think is the hardest part about writing?
I used to think, "Writing the first draft is the worst! This is definitely the hardest part," until I finished my first draft and had to begin revisions. Then I thought, "Ugh, revision is so difficult. Where do I even start!? Okay, so revision is definitely the hardest part." Haha. So I guess any part you're currently working on can be considered the "hardest part." But in truth, I think the most difficult aspect of writing is just getting your butt in the chair. Trying to not find excuses or moving writing to the bottom of the priority list is what's most tricky. Even if you're only writing 15 minutes a day, you need to make writing important enough that you carve out that time to write or else it just won't get done. If you're writing as a hobby and only pick it up when it's convenient or easy, then that's fine for you. But if you are looking to pursue writing as a career and actually turn out completed, published works, there is no time for excuses. Just get your butt in the chair and write.
What have you put most of your effort into regarding craft and writing?
Attaining my MFA in Writing Popular Fiction was along road to hoe. As I mentioned, I completed my MFA over the span of two and a half years (the full duration of the program with no breaks), while I was working full-time as a teacher and I had a second job. The coursework, the deadlines, the stress – it was all pretty brutal. For as much as I loved the content and the material I was learning, everything was a great deal of effort and nothing was easy. In addition, most of our coursework was done online and, though I loved being able to complete my work from wherever I was living (London at one point, as a matter of fact), I certainly enjoy a classroom environment much more.
Outside of finishing the MFA, I would say that I put a great deal of effort into reading, both works of fiction and craft books. I am always reading. Seeing how authors I admire construct their stories is such a great way to understand craft in practice. I wrote a guest blog post about craft books and there are a ton out there that are really wonderful. Sure, no one can tell you how to write in a step-by-step guide, but there is always something new to try and practice in order for you to develop your own style.
Does your book have a moral/lesson?
Absolutely. A couple, actually. But I think the one that is most prominent and the one I want most people to take away from the book is that everyone has the power to create their own "happily ever after" and that happily ever after is a relative term. In any story, mine included, the villain strives to create her version of HEA through a particular course of action, which of course, many people would find reprehensible. But to her, it is what she wants/needs in order to be happy. Life is like that. Everyone believes themselves to be the hero of their own story and that their motivations for their actions are justifiable. It's all about perspective. There are two sides to every story and everyone is just trying to find their own happiness. If we take a minute to realize that, we may find ourselves to be a little more empathetic to others.
What is your favorite part of the book?
Hmm… that's a hard one. I really like the first chapter. After I finished writing the first draft, I ended up deleting pretty much the first third (about 100 pages) of my manuscript and writing them over. It was painful to just pitch all of that hard work, but I am so glad I did because what I wrote in its place is so much better than it was before. It is a first chapter that (hopefully) really grabs a reader's attention and sets the story up as a Dark Fantasy. I like the action, the pacing, the twists. It turned out to be one of the sections of which I'm most proud.
So that, and the part where Grog gives Genevieve his slippers. I just think it's so cute and such a turning point in their relationship. I have to be honest, I love all of my characters for different reasons, but Grog is my ultimate fav. He was so fun to write and I think some of his lines are laugh-out-loud funny. And his shift is incredibly meaningful.
What is your favorite book?
Anyone who knows me can tell you I am obsessed with Harry Potter for oh-so-many reasons. I am beyond impressed with Rowling's ability to world build, write dynamic and well-rounded characters, and hide information in the text to be used later. She herself is a wizard (well, umm... witch) to have created such magic. I could only hope to influence even half the number of readers she has.
I also used to teach high school English for almost 10 years. And I can honestly say that I am a huge Shakespeare nerd. I also love Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Frankenstein. As far as genre fiction, my favorite book is Jurassic Park Michael Crichton. I'm not even a big sci-fi fan, but that book is just AMAZING. In that same vein, The Martian by Andy Weir was equally awesome. The voice in which that book is told is funny and witty and clever and just plain great. Oh man, we've opened a can of worms talking about favorite books – I'm pretty sure I could go on forever about this.
The Girl in the Glass Box:
A witch. An apple. A mirror. That's all most people think of when they recall the story of Snow White. But the truth is rarely so simple. What if the Queen wasn't born evil and the princess wasn't always so pure of heart? Is it possible that these two women could have ended up in one another's place?
The Girl in the Glass Box tells the story of Agrippine and Genevieve, two women who are not all that different, but who quickly learn through a series of choices, encounters, and devastating losses that the course of their fates can change in an instant. Through the influences of the people they love and lose, both are redefined as their stories head for a different sort of happily-ever-after.

Metallica tee from HMV
Primark creepers
Hope everyone is having a lovely Mothers day. I'm at uni so instead of doing anything mildly mothers day related, I'm just being lazy in the flat. The weather is so awful, what happened to the sun?
Here is my outfit today. I'm sorry that my last two outfit posts have been comfy/lazy outfits, I promise I wont make a habit of this. But I guess my style is quite laid back anyway. I really like these Topshop leggings but I haven't worn them half as much as I hoped, just because they are quite out there for me, But I do really want to experiment with them some more.
I still can't believe I managed to get some creepers for £12. Creepers have been quite big for a few years now and I've always wanted a pair but not enough to pay £50+, so I was shocked to see them in Primark for £12. They are not the comfiest of shoes, especially as they are from primark, but I do really like them. And what I like the most is that my Grandad use to wear them in the 50's.

5 Educators We Should Thank
5 Educators We Should Thank
The pragmatic and energetic, Anita Ghulam Ali, recipient of the Sitara-i-Imtiaz for her lifetime contribution, is referred to as "The Voice of Education" in Sindh. She was a fond of Badminton and Table Tennis, saddled and rode donkeys. She believed that undergoing challenges during her childhood prepared her for the journey she undertook later in her life.
"In another life, I want to be a man, because I want to sock everybody."
She started working as a lecturer in Microbiology at the Sindh Muslim Science College. At that time, she also held the position of the President of Pakistan Teachers Association. She also became the first Managing Director of Sindh Education Foundation (SEF) which emerged in 1992. SEF launched its largest initiative in 2009 which aimed to encourage entrepreneurs to open up 1300 schools in the slums.
Considering her valuable services to education, she was appointed as the Education Minister of Pakistan in 1996. She also received the Pride of Performance Award for her commendable efforts to improve the education system of Sindh.
Anna Molka Ahmed
"I am the Mother of all the artists"
Anna Molka Ahmed, a woman with art running in her veins and creativity encapsulating her, was born to Jewish parents in London where she also received her education. She converted to Islam at the age of 18 in 1935 before marrying Sheikh Ahmed.
You talk about Arts and her name always pops up in your head. Anna was a professor of Fine Arts at the University of Punjab, Lahore. She set up the department of Fine Arts at The University of Punjab in 1940 and it is now known as College of Arts and Design.
In 1977, she painted the portraits of Quaid e Azam and Allama Iqbal which are now displayed at the Faisal Auditorium, University of Punjab. Recognition of her work is documented through several national awards including the Tamgha-i-Imtiaz, in 1963, the President's Award for the Pride of Performance in 1969 and also the Khudeja Tul Kubra Medal.
On 14 August 2006, Pakistan Post issued a Rs. 40 sheetlet of stamps to honour 10 Pakistani painters including Anna Molka Ahmed.
Deena M. Mistri
Deena M. Mistri, a woman admired by many for her calibre and endearing qualities, was one of Pakistan's most renowned educationists with degrees from University of Karachi and the United States. At her funeral, more than 2000 people wanted to get the last glimpse of the highly educated woman they adored. Her sons had to go against the Parsi tradition of not showing the body after the completion of prayers to expunge the grief her admirers carried in their hearts.
After teaching for 21 years at B.V.S Karachi, she became the Principal of B.V.S in 1972. It is said that her time was the golden period for the school. She turned down several offers of shifting the school to posh areas like Clifton and Defence. She also refused to have Cambridge System because she didn't want to create class difference within one boundary wall. No wonder people admired her!
During her tenure, B.V.S. secured 100% results in the Science and General Groups and almost 99% of students secured A grades. Keeping her invaluable contributions in mind, General Pervez Musharaf awarded her with the Pride of Performance.
Rahman Anwar Syed
Rahman Anwar Syed's time of tribulation began from his childhood with his mother's untimely death and father's absence from home due to his demanding nature of the job. He received his primary education sitting on dirt mats under the scorching heat of the sun but his determination didn't wear off. After migrating to Pakistan, Dr. Rahman joined Dayaram Jethamal Science College and later Forman Christian College where he developed his interest in zoology. He did his PhD from University of Punjab.
He started teaching Zoology at Gordon College, Rawalpindi in 1962. In 1968, he joined the Commonwealth Institute of Biological Control and became a part of the entomological research. His research on the biological control of flies was applauded widely as it was important for the Agricultural Sector of Pakistan. He was later transferred to Commonwealth Institute of Biological Control, Malaysia where he was awarded the title of Datuk for his services.
Syed is well known for his discovery of the biological method of oil palm pollination.
Saeed Rashid
Saeed Rashid was one of Pakistan's well renowned writer, teacher, and historian. He studied at Islamia Inter College Bareilly where he got the chance to listen to Nehru, Gandhi and Quaid-e-Azam. He was greatly inspired by the Pakistan Movement which was at its peak at that time. In 1949, he enrolled in Teacher Training College, Aligarh Muslim University. His teacher, Dr. Ishrat Hussain, advised him not to go to United States for his PhD as Pakistan needed teachers like him.
Saeed was into Character Building, Teacher Education and Creative – Oriented Curriculum Development. He authored several books both in English and Urdu. Some of his major works include Hayat-e-Quaid-e-Azam, Guftar-o-Kiradar-e-Quaid-e-Azam, Guftar-o-Kirdar-e-Sir Syed and Tazkara-e-Iqbal.
He joined the Army Public School Jhelum and Mangla Cantt as the Principal in 1990. Later, he joined Tameer-e-Millat Institute of Education and Research Islamabad and of Sultana Foundation Department of Character-building and Pakistaniat, Islamabad as the Director.
Professor Rashid bagged the Pride of Performance civil award by Government of Pakistan for his remarkable contributions. Later in November 2000, a new academic block was named after him at Military College, Jhelum where he worked during the 1950's.

The premise of the animated family film "Cars" is that fame and glory are not everything, and what is most important in life can not be bought or achieved simply by winning at everything. The audience learns this through the eyes of a race car by the name of Lightning McQueen.
Lighting believes that winning is everything until he is forced to assist in the repairing of a road he burned out in a down-and-out town called Radiator Springs. Through the vehicle citizens, he learns that there are much more important aspects to life than being on top, and that winners can be found almost anywhere.
