*Weather Update*

Previously he had toured with Grammy winning Native American Artist Joanne Shenandoah and Texas musician of the year Eric Hokkanen. Earlier this year he headlined at The Buttonwood Performing Arts Center in CT.

Food for Fines!
EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A West Texas library has announced a food for fines swap to encourage the return of overdue books, resolve penalties and support families needing groceries.
The El Paso Public Library on Friday began an amnesty program that runs through Jan. 18.
Anyone with overdue library books can return the items without penalty. Fines won't be charged during the amnesty period as long as the books are returned in good condition.
The food part of the project targets El Paso library patrons who do not have outstanding materials but do have pending fines. Those fines can be adjusted down $1 for every can of food or non-perishable item donated, up to $5 per account.
The items will be donated to food pantries.

You can forget about Change You Can Believe In.
President Elect Barack Obama went on the record at his first press conference to announce that he is going to be President of the United States. He has been briefed by those who know how the government works and he can be expected to dance to the government's tune from now on.
I had written that he would make history and not take the oath of Office of President of the United States. Instead, I predicted he would take the Article VI oath required by the Constitutiion. No one has ever taken the oath, so I present it to you here: "I swear (or affirm) to support this Constitution."
I teach my students that "this Constitution" means the written Constitution and "the Constitution of the United States" in the oath of Office of President of the United States" refers to territory, other property and assets belonging to the United States of America. Taking the oath of Office of President of the United States neither Adopts nor supports "this Constitution." This explains the Patriot Act and other affronts to freedom.
There will be no change in Washington, unless we can change his mind again. He has asked for our help. Let him know that you know there are three oaths in the Constitution.
George Washington, the first President of the United States, owned Black African slaves. Washington led the Americans to victory over the British in the War for Independence and was President of the Constitutional Convention. How sad that the first Black man to be President should sell his soul for power.
Now, Barack Obama, son of a Black African father, who promised to change Washington has decided to follow in the false foot steps of America's first dictator. I was so sure Obama had found the answer to America's Broken Government I announced that he would be the first President Elect to take the right oath, the Article VI oath that restores the Constitution, the Northwest Ordinance, Articles of Confederation and Declaration of Independence. The Organic Law of the United States of America is trashed every time a Person is elected to the Office of President.
Barack Obama will be the 44th Person elected President who will refuse to take that Office under the Constitution and will instead become President of the United States, a virtual dictator.
The Declaration of Independence states that all Men are created equal. The Articles of Confederation makes inhabitants the equal of free citizens of the states. The Northwest Ordinance recognizes the rights of inhabitants and makes Persons of government territory almost equal to Citizens of the United States. The Constitution recognized as Persons all inhabitants of the states who wanted to govern and be governed and even included slaves as Persons. Taken together these great laws create a wall between the people of the states and the Persons of the government. George Washington broke that wall and broke government when he appointed himself President of the United States by taking that oath of Office.
When a President Elect like Barack Obama refuses to take the Article VI oath that Adopts the Constitution, it is time for the inhabitants to start working for the Change You Can Really Believe In. That Change is the Change you are in charge of. He ran for the Office of President as an outsider, who should be an expert in constitutional law, but when he's elected he reverts to politics as usual. Now that Obama has been clued in by the government, you will see a changed Obama.
When the Person elected to the Office of President takes the oath of Office of President of the United States such an act creates a dictatorship, unless challenged. The Senate has never challenged the self-appointment by any President Elect. The Constitution does not require the man who takes the oath of Office of President of the United States to be a Person, as is required of the man or woman who is to be eligible to the Office of President. All this is found in the Constitution for all to see.
Every President before President Elect Obama has taken the same oath and the country is a mess. I thought an obviously intelligent lawyer like Obama would really know the Constitution and would know which oath to take to achieve real change. I was wrong about Obama. He will try to be king.
I have been teaching a few students how to really understand law and the government. I will continue to take private students especially those who have been taken captive by government. If you feel threatened by government, you need to become a student.
If Obama will not do what is necessary to bring about fundamental change, we must do what has to be done. I will teach you and you can teach him and as a bonus you get to keep your freedom.
I will not give up on Obama until he takes the wrong oath at noon on January 20, 2009. I will be teaching Obama constitutional law right here.

Old habits die hard.
Anyone who has tried to break one knows exactly hard it is, whether it's related to hygiene, food, exercise, or work. Habits have a way of sneaking back in when you aren't paying attention. That's what makes them, well, habits.
In those ways, desensitization is very much like a bad habit: it is hard to reverse and you can slip into old ways very easily, even when you try not to.
Have you ever picked up a movie, knowing that you probably shouldn't, and said, "Well, just this once"? Or opened a book and think, "Only five more minutes and I'll close it"? If you have, then you know how easily old paths traveled are traveled again.
Therefore, to increase your chances of resensitization you need to open up—find someone to keep you accountable…and someone you are willing to be accountable to.
They must be prepared to ask the hard questions, knowing it might make you defensive or even angry. They also must be discerning enough to not let you get away with half-baked answers. And you must receive those hard questions and give honest answers—without shooting the questioner.
It won't be easy. Sometimes it might hurt. But two are more likely to endure through the mire than one alone.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Good Morning or Evening depending on where you are, and thanks for joining me on my day in Creative Blog hop! My friend Jan McQueen ask me if I would like to be part of of the never ending Blog Hop, Creative Blog Hop! Of Course I said yes... Jan lives in Melbourne Australia and I am in North Plains Oregon in the United States, we may be far apart, but enjoy each others work and crafty-awesomeness!
The Creative Blog Hop asks us to answer 4 questions about ourselves and is a way of introducing you to somebody else and learning a bit more about each of us.
What am I working on now?
Well I'm working all types of things, from cards, to home decor to Holiday crafts! I recently received the newest My Paper Pumpkin from Stampin' Up! and I am in love with the awesomeness that is MPP!!!
How does my work differ from others in my genre?
I would say that I am a one off type of designer, while I love doing swaps and mass card making I prefer to make a card unlike the masses. I love bold deep colors, and put me into everyone of my cards, and projects. The other thing most of my friends and followers notice I'm not a huge fan of CAS(E)in' a card.... but I have done it a few times, but the cards and designers were too fab, not too! Making a person smile is what my card making is all about... and I love it!
Why do I create what I do?
It gives me joy to give.... The most common card I make is the THANK YOU card... Birthdays come and go, so do holidays... but you can never say thank you enough in your lifetime. I've always done some type of artistry, writing, drawing, but designing cards is the only thing that seems to stick, I can write how I feel into each of them, and I love that!
How does my creative process work?
I start with color... once I have the colors I know what I can use, and what direction my project or design is going to go. I'm not a fan of pastels, like pink or pale yellow, but some days thats where I start.... Color is easy, you can make sense of the tone of the card, black, white, and grays give a elegant feel, whereas reds and oranges are warmth and cozy. The color is the key to my designing and I wouldn't have it any other way! Here is one of my recent favorite cards, I love the clean lines, and vibrant colors.
Well now... on to the next hopper...
and the saga continues, thanks to my follow crafter and friend Shannon Jaramillo, who will be next on the hop, on October 6th 2014! She is crafting mistress, and a wonder with the Stamp-A-Ma -Jig! Shannon and I are also design members at www.canyoucaseit.com, a weekly card challenge site... We have so much fun each week seeing all the creative designs folks share with us! She is one of the most talented SU Demo designers, its been my pleasure of working with her!
Hi There! My name is Shannon Jaramillo and I am inspired by all things clean and simple. I discovered Stampin' Up! just over four years ago and have been an avid card maker ever since. I have a dedicated room to collect all my fun tools and papers and enjoy spending my free time being creative with ink and paper :)
Well it was a crazy ride... and I hope you've learned a bit more about how "Eva" works! lol... I hope you will join the hop with Shannon next week, as I am sure she will have some treasures to share!
Thanks for stoppin' by
Eva : )

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by Smg, May 30, 2010.
Just came across this Samsung Galaxy S Photos / Pics
Hmm first i've heard about this ?
I'm sure it will be limited here in the US.
Yep, saw this a couple of days ago. This, together with the 2GB ROM, substantially alleviate some of the shortfalls of 2.1 for me.
Yes, I saw this being mentioned a few days back and was certainly intrigued.....
If it's anything as good as that found on the HD2 it's a definite plus for me.
This is confusing... have I missed something here?
ROM is read only memory ~ In other words it is memory that is allocated solely for the device for to store it's OS, Apps, Drivers, etc. etc that came with the machine.
Unless Samsung have altered something here it's not an area that can have data added simply by installation of normal applications.
Here's an example ~ when you perform a hard reset on your machine it defaults back to whatever the ROM Image has applied. It then takes various additional files from the ROM section and uses these to rebuild the machine back to factory status....
I think also installed app space
another reason to get this phone lol?
Well in that case it can't be ROM.
Writing apps to ROM and the name just don't go together do they!

Feel that? They're baseball trade winds
Just nine days until the Major League Baseball trade deadline arrives, and the Cubs and White Sox have been surprisingly quiet.

2 Things Individuals Do Certainly Not Have Knowledge Of When It Comes To LASIK Eye Medical ProcedureThe eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be evaluated in several ways. The client might be asked to recognize illuminated letter or objects of varying sizes on exactly what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of ways. Stress within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In specific illness, especially in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased noticeably.
However, it ought to be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue may have other issues too. Often other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can notify the physician and the patient to difficulties in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
One's dependence on sight is stressed when one faces a temporary or possible irreversible loss of this essential sense. When corrective steps are sought, certain types of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are recommended.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with the reality that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgeries were established to encourage reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgery is the short term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are completely transformed. visit this website This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main purpose of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, permitting much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals need to understand. Probably, the primary reason why this kind of eye surgical treatment has actually become well accepted is since many of its cases had succeeded.
Nevertheless, in spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most sensitive part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive parts of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be extremely dangerous.
Simply puts, a basic mistake might nearly cause an individual's lifetime blindness. Thus, it is very important to think about many factors prior to choosing whether Get More Information LASIK eye surgery is the right corrective procedure one needs to go through.
2. It is not a perfect treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment might fix your vision but it does not necessarily indicate that it can offer you a best vision. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the clients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always suggest they have perfect vision also.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not always be the perfect eye surgical treatment the way many people view it
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in several methods. It must be well remembered that a client with an eye problem may have other problems. Often other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can signal the client and the doctor to difficulties in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction.

This one is a bit longer than I like but there really wasn't much use in cutting up Saturday to make two shorter videos. There's still some good content here. Hope you've enjoyed the series.

I relocated to the north from a position at an aerospace firm in the south of England, that's when I found Fichtner.
I do a fairly wide variety of things, I work with renewable legislation, keeping track of various government incentive programs. I'm tasked with being the company expert on what's required on these programs.
I also work with financial modelling, waste mode modelling, as well as lenders due diligence – which is viewing contracts and technical details on behalf of lenders to determine if a project is viable, or help them get to the point where a scheme is technically and commercially viable.
It's a really interesting place to work based upon the variety of projects you can be involved with. In my previous job in aerospace you'd often work on one project for your entire career, due to the long design times, which can become monotonous.
It's more interesting to move from project to project, broadening your knowledge base and taking what you've learned from one project then applying it to the next.
One of the things that I like about Fichtner is the size. Locally here we are just over 100 people however globally we have access to over 1600 people in 50 countries. In the UK that means we get to work quite independently which gives the feel of a smaller company, while still having the support of a much larger organisation.
This results in a less formal and regimented working environment. For example, if I have a problem and I want to discuss it with the managing director, I can walk into his office and talk to him. I've worked in large organisations in the past where everything is constrained by policies and governance, so Fichtner is a refreshing place to work!
My family of three has five passports, and I'm a dual national, American and British.
I have to say my biggest achievement is my son. He's one and a half so I think managing to keep him going this long means I'm doing pretty well.

Thank you for sharing the poem Abby - I needed to be reminded that it is our relationship with the Lord that should be our focus, not necessarily being busy or achieving goals!
Thank you again for all the December graphics.

Hi Abby!
I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I prayed for you tonight. I also prayed for your husband, your church, and for the souls of those in your area - that they might visit and find the saving grace of Jesus. I asked for God to send the lost to your church this weekend, that they might come to know Him as Savior. And I know that all the glory and praise will go to Him when you see souls saved, the kingdom advanced, and the church grown. God is so good. I praise Him for your friendship, and for your family's ministry.
God bless you!

ODESSA - Construction on the new H-E-B store on West University near Loop 338 is well underway.
The 98,984-sf store is located on approximately 9.75 acres. The project is estimated to be $15.8 million.
The construction represents the first sign of what should be a broad expansion of grocery offerings in Odessa in the latter half of the year.
H-E-B continues to negotiate for land in the Parks Legado area where representatives say the company might build another standard grocery store.
An H-E-B representative said there was not a firm timeline of when the west-side grocery will open, referring to previous estimates of "as early as late 2015."
Construction is also scheduled to begin later this year in Midland, at Loop 250 and Hwy. 191, where the company bought a former call center.

Great customer service and anything that needs fixed in your apartment is done in a timely manner.
I love the area and community. The apartments are maintained well and the club house with Internet and exercise room is great. The only complaint I have is the way the trash is laying out at the garbage area. It's not attractive for the community.
LOVE LOVE LOVE my new space. Office staff is friendly and very helpful. Apts are nice and spacious. Plenty of closet space in both bdrms. Only drawbacks is no linen closet.
Outside is decent but could be better if residents put their trash in the dumpsters NOT around it. On a windy day trash flies all over the place. My building is kept clean. I only see 1 maintenance guy on the property. Had to place calls for things to be fixed, He never showed so I fixed them on my own or don't worry about it. Overall, I would recommend living here. It is a beautiful place
The complex is absolutely beautiful and I'm excited about possibly moving here but the office staff SUCK!!! The first day I went I sat and waited for 20 minutes and no one ever said not one word to me and they did see me walk in. There was someone sitting in the corner not even helping anyone at the time and they never said to him hey there's someone in the lobby waiting or said to me someone can help you. After that everything went smooth until it was time to move and they were completely dragging their feet I wouldn't back and forth for a whole month giving them information and filling out paperwork and when it was time to move two days before I still hadn't actually had an answer on whether I was going to be moving there or not or a physical address. I have a child and I'm trying to get him registered for school but I'm unable to without all of this information it seems to matter to no one in their office. So I don't even know if I'm going to be moving there in 2 days or not even though I have all of my stuff packed, and U-Haul reserved and a moving crew waiting to help me move. I may be without a home
I have never lived anywhere that had so many stipulations on their lease!!! I pay my rent on time every month to only get threatened to have my lease terminated & have my car towed by management of the rental office if I don't give them my whole life's worth of my financial history!!! I have to walk over trash that's left on the steps for weeks at a time just to get to my apartment. SMH!!!!

Came on my arm during a lap dance
Jan 4, 2009
Hi, I was a stripper.
During a lap dance I had my back turned and a guy pulled it out and came all over my arm.
I shave my arms regularly and I'm terrified I could have picked up something.
I didn't see any cuts or anything on my arm and washed with anti-bacterial soap as soon as I could but I can't lay my worries to rest. Please, help.
Response from Dr. Frascino
It must have been a mighty fine lap dance for the horned-up client to pop his cork and spunk your arm! Relax Max. Your HIV risk is essentially nonexistent. HIV cannot permeate intact skin, OK? If you remain worried, get a single HIV-antibody test at the three-month mark. The test result will undoubtedly be negative. There really is no medical indication for the test; however, if it puts your fears permanently to rest, it may be worth the effort psychologically.
Be well. (And remember to include pics of you in a sparkle thong next time you submit a question, OK?)
Dr. Bob

Yeah, quite a lot of recently released Light Novels indeed do have long titles.
Besides the already named ones, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru. could also be an example, hehe.
I personally think they can lure fans into buying them and make quite a success if the long title is well picked and the cover looks great, but still, the top Light Novels will already have short titles.
Long, funny/interesting titles are made to attract people to a certain limit, but that limit is already so high that actually having a long title is safer than a short title nowadays. :D

I would also say that, generally speaking, this fad is kind of over; I'm sure some will still do it going forward, but the big wave has passed.

If you think LN titles are very long, check out the VN Asairo. The full title isn't even displayed for it is around 4 sentences long from what I heard. I haven't read the VN of course but the title displayed ends with a comma.
That's all you'll get to see. Someone who read it told me the full title is displayed somewhere when you read it.

Though this is also a gimmick to indicate the 4 big chapters of the VN. The VN is for all intents and purposes linear, and when you're going through each chapter, the title screen changes to the part corresponding where you currently are. The title screen with the full four phrase is unlocked after you cleared the whole novel.

There's a question I want to ask hardcore LN fans who read a lot of LNs and/or who watch a lot of LN adaptations. This thread seems like the perfect place to do it, given the nature of the question.
How often do you find that...
1) The big, long, synopsis-style title accurately reflects what you get in the story, without any irony? In other words, "What's on the label is exactly what you get in the can."
2) The big, long, synopsis-style title reflects what you get in the story, but mostly with irony? Hypothetical example - The title suggests that the male lead is useless and unpopular, but he's actually very brainy and popular, and him being that way is central to the story and his character.
3) The big, long, synopsis-style title is almost completely unrelated to what's in the story? Hypothetical example - The title suggests that the LN will be about the male lead playing RPGs all the time, but only 10% or less of the narrative's time is spent on the male lead actually playing RPGs.
tl;dr - I'm interested in finding out just how "honest advertising" these big, long LN titles are.

Also, I'm pretty sure people on this thread have already mentioned this, but it seems to me that most long-titled light novels and manga are slice-of-life comedy. The only one I can think of off the top of my head that breaks that rule is Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There!, which is an interesting combination military-action-thriller with high fantasy.
Now, without further ado, my thoughts on the honesty of the titles:
Watamote: The first version of the title, "Its Not My Fault I'm Not Popular", can be seen both as literal as ironic. Part of Tomoko's sad state can be seen as her being a victim of random chance. However, the anime/manga also suggests that it IS in part her fault she is not popular, or at least have very few friends. At the very least, her social phobias, odd behavior, and her simulataneous envy and hatred of popular people aren't helping the matter. Still, you can't fault Tomoko much, as the first step to getting help is admitting you need it, and that is hardest part. As for the other title variation, "No Matter How I Look At It, Its You Guy's Fault I'm Not Popular", is a reflection of Tomoko's inner anger at her situation, which she often directs at other people.
Ore ga Doutei (insert rest of Japanese Title)/About How I'll Die If I Lose My Virginity: Title refers to lead character, Kazuya's misconceptions about the whole scenerio where his 32-year old virgin childhood friend, Masaki murders him and for some reason he is sent back in time Steins;Gate style. He assumed he was killed by his friend out of jealousy of his many sexual partners. He later discovers Masaki's real motive is
Spoiler for Major OreDoutei Spoilers:
OreImo/My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute: This one is more difficult... perhaps ironic as Kirino is clearly intend to be quite cute, at least in the eyes of the otaku fanbase.
I Don't Like You At All Big Brother: Haven't seen or read this one, but from the sound of the reviews, the title is clearly ironic.
Boku Wa Tomodachi/I Don't have Many Friends: Only seen a few episodes. Appears to be the case at least for the beginning, but from what I heard, this may become less so for the lead character and the rest of their little club as the story progresses.
Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai/I Don't Care About My Adolescent Delusions, I Want A Date!: In this case, the title is pretty true to the concept, with the exception that Yuuta does not consider himself to have chuunibyou, however, he does relapse from time to time.
Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There: Title is pretty much played straight, a gate to a fantasy world opens up in Tokyo, a fantasy army invades, only to be easily defeated by the JSDF, who then counter attack through the gate. Only think I could say as that as far as the word fought. Mowing down 100,000 swordsmen, archers, and dragon riders using machine guns, tanks, and Cobra attack helicopters seems so one sided it can hardly be called a fight.

The Ball Baron, Week 8: We Need to Begin Considering the Idea of an Eli Dynasty
Welcome to the Ball Baron, where we break down the finer points of Sunday's NFL action.
UGLIEST LOSS: Your dismissal of the Giants' accomplishments as sheer luck
As a card-carrying hater, I have a cheat sheet that provides me with a list of shorthand reasons for why the history of any NFL team is tainted. The Steelers get all the calls. The Patriots are cheaters. And the Giants, obviously, are the luckiest team on the face of the earth. Anyone looking to discredit New York's last two Super Bowl wins can do so merely by pointing out their pedestrian regular season record and saying, "They just got on a hot streak," as if hot streaks are some kind of magical gift that Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin found in a nearby attic. They peaked at the right time. They caught their opponents at a time when their opponents happened to be faltering. And of course Eli Manning threw that big pass to Victor Cruz to win their game against the Redskins yesterday. Have you seen the Redskins secondary? It's made out of wet saltines. They were LUCKY to play against a secondary that horrible.
With the advent of advanced metrics, it's easy to view the NFL in two distinct dimensions. On one side, there is the measurable NFL, where the best teams are clear and unassailable. And then there is the world of actual NFL play, where the statistically best teams can fall prey to the whims of luck and poor scheduling. And where a lot of smart guys like Bill Barnwell at Grantland go wrong is when they put more stock in what they think SHOULD have happened versus what did happen. Seriously, go read a Barnwell column and try to refrain from putting your foot through a nearby window. For the past decade, the Giants have had a hard time getting these two worldviews to match up, and thus it's easy for anyone looking for a reason to bash them to write them off as an anomaly, a cosmic accident.
Until now. Go to Football Outsiders and you'll see that the Giants now sit atop the site's vaunted DVOA rankings. I have no fucking idea what goes into these rankings, but they sure LOOK mildly legitimate. No longer are the Giants some random outlier that happened to hit double-zeroes on the roulette wheel twice in five tries. Between Eli Manning, their insane D-line rotation, and their astonishing depth at wideout, it's hard to arguethat there's a more talented—a more DESERVING—team in the NFL right now.
If this particular Giants outfit wins the Super Bowl, they will have merged the viewpoints of the sabremetricians of the world and the Mark Schlereths of the world ("They just wanted it more, you guys!"). And if that happens, we haters are gonna have a hard time pulling out the Lucky Card on Eli Manning's big dopey face. If the Giants win their third title in six seasons, we're all gonna have to think about what it means to live in a world where the Giants are a dynasty and Eli is, arguably, the greatest quarterback of his generation. It seems weird to think that now, in part because we've been TOLD to think it's weird, that what the Giants have pulled off thus far is not normal or deserved. It may not seem so weird four months from now.
SELF-LOATHING FANBASE OF THE WEEK: Jaguars
It's never a good sign when your QB gets taken out of a game due to an injury and the majority of the free world assumes that he was strictly benched. My colleague over at Deadspin, Jack Dickey, has been passionately advocating for Blaine Gabbert's benching since early in the year, in favor of Chad Henne. Chad fucking Henne. God, it's all gone so wrong down there.
TEBOW OF THE WEEK: Aaron Rodgers
The Packers are the Packers again. So...oh, shit. Take a look at the current standings and you will see that, apart from the Bears and Falcons, all the current division leaders are the same as last year's division champions. And the Packers appear to be well on their way back to prosperity. It's been an oddly static season. COME ON, OTHER HORRIBLE TEAMS. I don't want to see the same assholes in the playoffs twice in a row.
ANTI-TEBOW OF THE WEEK: Joe Flacco
I don't ever want to hear him bitch about not being considered elite ever again. You hear me, Flacco? You are painfully average. You are Trent Dilfer with a unibrow. You're the control group in any science experiment.
GIF OF THE DAY: RG3 pegging the waterboy.
Look at him keep those water cups upright! That's a fantastic effort. Someone give that kid an unpaid internship compiling game tape.

Seventeen stories done!
Deadlines are such fun. Lulu's doing a brilliant deal--if you want to self-publish, why not go over there and look; or even if you just want that nice thump-factor of a book in your hand to see what it would look like (books in hand are great for proof-reading too). So now I'm frantically working to a deadline, trying to get my Joshua's Journeys stories finished before the deal runs out. I think there'll be about forty when I'm done, and I've just finished number seventeen. Of course, I've been researching them and putting off writing for ages--about a year--so it's about time. Like I said, deadlines are wonderful!

I think (hope) the deadline's the end of July, so I'm doing okay so far. The stories have been wandering round in my head for over a year, so it's not like I'm making them up as I go along. I'm really quite glad to let them go--glad the deadline finally made me let them go.

Prezi – make it easy and pretty, not ugly and cheezy!
by freepogos4all
Have you ever felt tired, sad, and depressed about having to do an oral presentation? Have you ever felt as if you were stuck in a mold, having to use PowerPoint and switch slides in order to present your ideas?
This is all over with Prezi! Using this awesome website, you can create an awesome presentation using your creativity! You'll be able to zoom in and out, create mid-maps in a more logical way than PowerPoint, while still being able to add pictures or videos from YouTube.
As this article mentions, there are various reasons why someone would prefer Prezi. For starters, using your creativity instead of being linear. Ideas come in a variety of forms. They can split like a hand, where the main idea is the hand itself and then splits into fingers. They can be in the form of a family tree, splitting indefinitely. A good example for this would be this Prezi. A PowerPoint presentation does not allow such creativity, or at least won't be as well represented visually, as a Prezi can. Another reason why to use Prezi is that it is online. All you need is an internet connection, nothing to download, and you're ready for you oral presentation!
There are, however, negative points in Prezi as well. As mentioned by Phil Waknell on his own WordPress, it is important that the audience focuses on the speaker, and not only on what he shows on the board. A good mix of both is usually best, however people can abuse Prezi and make it so that everything zooms in and out so much that nausea will be the only thing anyone will think about. Moreover, Prezi is somewhat more limited in the backgrounds offered, and is a bit harder to learn than PowerPoint.
However, as mentioned on this article, Prezi can be easily shared and allows up to 10 people to work on a project simultaneously, which makes it better for teamwork.
Overall, I think that the best thing to do is to not overdo it. Prezi feels fresh, new and quite exciting. It makes the whole presentation much more interesting to the eye and, to be frank, less boring and linear than PowerPoint. You need to be careful with the zooming in and out, but otherwise it makes the whole process a little bit less painful than a regular oral presentation, and for that reason only, it is worth using Prezi over PowerPoint.

It's no longer a suggestion... It's the law.
Gov. Jerry Brown this month ordered mandatory water use reductions for the first time in California's history. The 31-point executive order forces reductions that will be clarified and implemented as we inch toward what will likely be a very hot and dry summer.
Water agencies must cut water use by up to 36 percent for some cities, and the Metropolitan Water District -- the wholesale distributor of water to Southern California -- is slashing deliveries by 15 percent to help meet that requirement.
"We're in a new era," the governor said. "The idea of your nice little green grass getting water every day, that's going to be a thing of the past."
Brown's order includes replacing 50 million square feet of lawns throughout the state with drought-tolerant landscaping, banning the irrigation of grass on public street medians, and requiring large landscapes to make significant cuts in water use.
It sounds scary, and it is, because for many people this is unchartered territory but a 25 percent drop in water use is fairly easy to achieve in most cases -- and it doesn't mean that the beauty of our landscape has to suffer.
The average turf lawn requires 4 to 5 gallons of water per square foot, compared to 1 to 1.5 gallons for the same area planted with California friendly plants.
There are many beautiful plant varieties, including ground cover, that are resistent to drought - check with your local Nursery or Garden Center which should have a good variety of these plants. The website Pinterest, as well as many other websites, has many photos and ideas for new drought friendly landscaping. Please remember that you will need to submit your plans to the Architectural Committee prior to installation.
The IRWD website has a suggested weekly watering schedule and they suggest for the month of May watering Turfgrass 3 days a week, 3 cycles of 3 minutes. For trees, shrubs and groundcover - 2 days a week, 3 cycles of 3 minutes each. Also, you will want to minimize evaporation by watering during the early morning hours.
- Check your sprinkler system frequently and adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk or street.
- Minimize evaporation by watering during the early morning hours.
- Use a layer of organic mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and save hundreds of gallons of water a year.
- Divide your watering cycle into shorter periods to reduce runoff.
- Water your lawn only when needed. You can tell this by simply walking across your lawn. If you leave footprints, it's time to water.
- Direct rain gutter spouts and other runoff towards shrubs and trees or collect and use for your garden.
- Use drip irrigation for shrubs and trees to apply water directly to the roots where it is needed.
- Install a rain shutoff device on your automatic sprinklers to eliminate unnecessary watering.
- Reduce the amount of grass in your yard by replacing it with shrubs, ground cover, rock, granite and/or mulch.
- Water only as rapidly as the soil can absorb the water.
Many of the wood gates and fences throughout the community are in need of repair and paint. Spring is a perfect time to update your home and "curb appeal" by taking care of items that need touching up. While you are taking care of the gates and fences, your may want to check other area of your homes that could use some touch up also, like fascia and trim. Painting areas as the need arises is a good way to protect the wood and helps keep property values up for the entire community.
Please remember while there are specific pre-approved color schemes for each tract, you are still required to submit to the Architectural Committee for approval, according to the guidelines. This includes filling out the Home Improvement form and the Neighbor Notification form. The specific colors for your tract can be seen on the Dunn Edwards website - please visit www.DunnEdwards.com/colors/archive/color-ark-pro and enter Foothill Ranch in the Search by Keywords tab. Please then select the correct neighborhood/sub-association from the dropdown menu for the full list of colors.
Dunn Edwards offers another service as well. They will take a digital image of your home and mock up the colors you are considering for individual homeowners. If interested in this service, please call Dunn Edwards and make an appointment with the Professional Paint Advisor. For the Dunn Edwards closest to Foothill Ranch, please contact 949-459-1195.
The City of Lake Forest has prepared New Resident Welcome Packets for homeowners. The packet includes helpful information about city services, shopping directories, and special events for new residents to Lake Forest.

Please be advised that tampering, cutting, topping of association common area landscape & trees is a serious violation that will be pursued by the Board of Directors. Violations will be prosecuted to the full extent allowable by law, which can include treble damages (violator responsible for paying three times the cost of the tree that was removed/damaged). It is the responsibility of you the homeowner to educate your realtor on the rules that we all live by here in Foothill Ranch. At no time is it permissible for anyone but the association landscaper to prune landscape material located in the common areas.

Members of the Venice, Fla., airport community are ready to get down to the business of improving their airport now that the city council has approved a revised airport layout and capital improvements, in votes that overcame years of grant-freezing political resistance.
In an action hailed by local news media as "a new chapter in the history of the Venice Municipal Airport," the city council followed up a final public hearing June 28 with a 6-1 vote to approve a compromise airport layout plan (ALP), which now must receive FAA review. The council also voted to approve a capital improvement plan that would move projects listed in the ALP into the pipeline for funding under the federal Airport Improvement Program.
The votes mark a turning point in a process that began in 2004 with efforts to come up with a master plan update, and finally overcame years of political resistance to honoring the airport sponsor's contractual obligations under the Airport Improvement Program, said John Collins, AOPA manager of airport policy.
He credited two major changes—the city's hiring last year of a new airport director, Christopher Rozansky, and the post-election makeup of the Venice City Council—with helping to move the process forward. Rozansky came to Venice from the Collin County Regional Airport in McKinney, Texas.
"This victory is possible through the dedication and hard work of a lot of people, including two Airport Support Network volunteers: John Yurosko and Chuck Schmieler, the Venice Aviation Society under the leadership of Nick Carlucci, the Venice Airport Business Association, and many pilots, tenants, and airport supporters," Collins said.
The proposed ALP would shift Runway 13/31 to the southeast by 727 feet, repositioning the runway protection zone that had encompassed 24 homes in the Golden Shores neighborhood mostly back to airport property. Only two homes would remain within the zone. The plan would use design-alternative calculations under the concept of declared distances to make 5,000 feet available for takeoff on all runways. It would re-designate Runway 4/22 as Runway 5/23 and as the noise abatement runway. The plan also would address many other airport design standards about which the FAA had raised concerns. AOPA provided an explanation of the declared-distance concept in a letter to the city council during the plan review process, Collins said.
"We could not have arrived at this point without the continuous support, advice, and counsel of the AOPA staff," said Schmieler. "We Venice Airport stakeholders look forward to getting down to the business of implementing the improvements called for in the ALP."
Approval will clear the way for the city to seek up to $21 million in Airport Improvement Grants—funding that was unavailable while the city had refused to address its airport master plan, said a newspaper account of the public hearing and votes.
Rozansky, in an op-ed piece submitted to local newspapers, explained the role of the airport enterprise fund in providing local financing, and detailed the projects and their benefits to the community such as economic stimulus and employment from airport construction generated by the ALP.
"In summary, the ALP outlines meaningful improvements over the next five to seven years that will restore airfield infrastructure, enhance aviation/public safety and ensure VNC is viable economic asset for years to come. I congratulate the City Council on their tremendous step forward in approving the ALP and am eager to usher in a new era for Venice Municipal Airport," he wrote.

My character is called Arnav Singh Raizada, who is a young businessman and has achieved everything in life. They is very arrogant and believes funds can buy anything, even love. They doesn't think in existence of God. It will be a different character on tv.
Both the characters are opposites. Shravan was more open in his thoughts and used to think in love while Arnav is an introvert and doesn't think in love. They is arrogant and believes the world is filled with egocentric and shrewd people.
Do you identify with Arnav's character?
Yes and no both. Arnav is a self made man, and to some extent, I am as well as a self made person. I find a quantity of his characteristics hard to identify with but I have seen such people in actual life, who have achieved everything in life at young age, so I guess I understand. Such people become arrogant, yet I feel Arnav will be identifiable.
How would you describe your look in the show?
The look is very rough and tough but at the same time very stylish and suave.
What's your take on love- hate relationships?
Our relationship [Arnav and Khushi's] has love and hate both. In fact in this world, I don't love anybody except my elder sister as I am very close to her. Relationships for me don't matter.
What do you dislike the most about Khushi?
She keeps bumping into me every time, which I don't like. I feel she does things deliberately, so that she attracts everyone's attention.

In sync with the Lunar New Year, we were decked out in red.
Throw in the double 8s, which also means FATT FATT in dialect. According to hoomanology, this is supposed to mean good luck. Even though its sounds more like "fat fat" to me.
Now, this must be another reason why Liverpool will get a positive result tonight at Manchester City.
Come on you Reds!

Having been in recovery from Anorexia for about six months I thought the hard part was over. I was eating a normal amount; slowly putting on weight and learning more about myself than I thought possible. Then it hit me, a gnawing monster of hunger. Was it mental? Physical? Both. And then a new demon arose, binge eating.
At first this panicked me, I was terrified that this meant I was going from one end of the spectrum to the other and that my weight gain would become uncontrollable. I was insurmountably hungry; it took one cereal bar to send me into a tail-spin of eating boxes of cereal and an unfathomable amount of nuts. What was happening to me? Was I going to eat forever?
No, I was not.
I am not.
It took me talking to my support team and others who have been through similar situations to realise that this is normal. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it does happen to many people recovering from restrictive eating. I think the hormones that signal hunger have just gone slightly haywire and our bodies are trying to get as much food as possible to get you to a healthy weight. This is scary, yes. It is not forever. I believe that when weight is restored hormones start to re-balance and your hunger cues becomes more reliable; you become less inclined to eat more to replenish depleted nutrients.
It is a difficult time though; it can make you feel out of control, guilty and uncomfortable. I thought it would be important to share ways to help the after-shocks. It is, firstly, so important that you try not to restrict after binging. If you binged at breakfast, eat lunch. Binged at lunch? Eat dinner. Follow your meal plan; because this will stop you from binging the next day as your body thinks you have limited food supply as you starved the rest of the day. This helps prevent a vicious cycle of binge-restrict all day- binge and can also decrease the size of the binge.
Secondly, if you have a set calorie meal plan (or a daily calorie allowance) and you binge don't count the binge calories. They do not count towards your daily allowance, this allows you to follow my first suggestion and continue your meal plan despite having eaten/exceeded your calorie limit. I would also recommend not weighing yourself after a binge as this may cause distress and send you into a restrictive spiral. Remember, it's all food and water weight at that point! It's not fat in your body.
I also benefitted greatly from writing down what the cause of my binge was and my thought process (after the event) as this allowed me, and my therapist, to get to the core of the need to binge in order to create tactics to prevent them.
If you feel a binge coming on it is a good idea to get yourself away from where food is available. Why not go for a stroll? Do some painting? Something you enjoy!
However, if you do binge, it is important to forgive yourself. Drink some water and reflect and what caused it (anxiety, stress, extreme hunger) and move forward. It is all a learning experience and in the end will make you a stronger person.
You are all so beautiful.
Stay strong.

Bill's Blog – Autumn 2015 and into 2016Home > Blog > Bill's Blog – Autumn 2015 and into 2016
Autumn 2015
On October 10th we had an open morning for the public – a Quire Workshop at Slack Space, Colchester. Slack Space has moved to Piatto Café for these events. We had 8 or 9 members of the public join us and certainly, apart from the pleasure of singing our material in front of the café customers, we had new recruits too.
On November 13th at Peldon Church we had an informal American-styled Pot Luck – euphemistically called At your Convenience! Quire members came and sang and we had a great night.
The 'Christmas' concert was back at Lion Walk on December 10th at 7.30pm. The theme was 'Born in the Night reflecting the plight of Mary and her husband as they were driven from one village to another to escape persecution. Lots more people than usual in the audience – was it the use of social media I wonder? Jane sang and read Mary and I grumbled away at Joseph – and Quire sang whatever was thrown at them. Thanks so much to them. The highlight for many was the spiritual 'Hold on' where Quire excelled in the 'big' sound they can make in the church. Thrilling!
News for 2016
Octavia has a concert at the Nottage Institute in Wivenhoe to celebrate International Women's Day. This is on March 5th and will include some songs that reflect the current situation in the Middle East with items from Syria and from Afghanistan. Contact me for more details if you want to hear Octavia (firstname.lastname@example.com)
On Friday 18th March at 7.30pm Quire has a concert in All Saints- Brightlingsea – the church on the hill with an extant West Gallery. It is Grade One listed was begun about 1250. We will have also have contributions from Octavia and Towering Angels. The concert will link the two alliances – France and Scotland – The Auld Alliance and also link two sung forms which link England with America – West Gallery and FASOLA. This promises to be a feast of music.
Summer 2016
We have a booking for Octavia and Towering Angels from the Colchester Anglo French Society to sing a French programme called Chansons. This will be on Wednesday May 18th but the audience will be restricted to Society members. Contact me (Bill) for more details.
We have a gig focusing on West Gallery and American FASOLA on Sunday May 22nd at 3pm in Little Braxted – and this will feature Octavia and Towering Angels. The church is unique – covered in paintings made by the Vicar- Ernest Geldart – at the end of the 19th century. Only seats about 50 people.
On July 1st at the end of term, and the end of the Quire year, we will celebrate all of our CDs in a Final Concert. We are not sure at this point where this will be. Watch this space – again! The working title for this event is, not surprisingly, Celebration!

Predominantly white communities have 11 times more parks, gardens and playing fields than ethnic minority neighborhoods, research shows.
The inequality between ethnic mixes seen in local environments is more obvious than in education, crime, housing, jobs and health, according to Cabe, the government's advisory body on architecture, urban design and public space.
"If you live in an affluent suburb you are also likely to have an above average quantity of good parks near you. On the other hand, if you live in a deprived inner city ward with high density housing you might have many small, poor quality green spaces but you are unlikely to have access to large green spaces or good quality green space," said the report's authors.
"It's shocking that there are these differences," said Danny Dorling, professor of human geography at Sheffield University. "We are unable to manage our urban green space the way we did in Victorian times. We have followed the American model of inner cities and privatised public space. All the green space in social housing has been tarmacked over. It's shocking. But local authorities could make dramatic improvements very easily."
The study found that people's level of physical activity and health was directly related to affluence and the quality of green space. "The higher the quality of green space, the more likely it is to be used. In the most deprived wards only 40% of adults engaged in even moderate physical activity compared with nearly 60% in the most affluent wards."
50% of people interviewed even said they would do more exercise if local green spaces were improved. "If you improve the quality and increase the quantity of urban green spaces it was likely that you will improve public and mental health," said the report.
The differences between ethnic groups was most marked when people were asked how satisfied they were with their green spaces and parks. More than 70% of people in affluent, predominantly white wards said they were satisfied compared with 50% in wards where more than 40% of the population came from black or minority ethnic groups.
The British research tallied with studies conducted with more than 28,000 people in the US where the quality of the built environment was one of the most important factors contributing to community satisfaction.
Cabe recommended there should be more scope for communities to take over temporarily vacant land, and that local authorities responsible for green spaces should work with voluntary groups to make it easier for people to improve the green spaces on their doorsteps.

Japan's aerospace industry has a strong international reputation, particularly in the field of research and development (R&D). Recently, however, it has shifted its focus from R&D to the commercialisation of space technology. The Basic Space Law, enacted in 2008, has paved the way for the development of Japan's space industry. Demand for satellite technology is expected to increase in developing countries, and Japan is hoping to use this opportunity to develop an export market in satellites. Examples of Japanese innovations in this field include the Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) which supports the International Space Station (ISS). Japan hopes to play a more proactive role in the ISS programme, in particular in filling spaceflight gaps brought about by the retirement of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Shuttle.

What is post-digital and how does FABMOBs fit this description?
Now, the models we build using 3-D software have lives that go far beyond the screen. They give us the ability to fabricate physical prototypes on-demand using 3d printers. The design process enabled by additive 3d printing allows us to build a strong, innate connection between digital models and physical ones. With this new design workflow, we build spaces and objects as connected prototypes.
