Wilma Grant to receive Naomi Berber Memorial Award
Monday, October 04, 2010
Press release from the issuing company
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Printing Industries of America is pleased to announce that the recipient of the 2010 Naomi Berber Award is Wilma Grant. The Berber Award recognizes a woman in the printing industry who has an outstanding record of accomplishments that demonstrate her contribution toward the development of the graphic communications industry; Wilma Grant has embodied this mentality since her early career days and has a list of accomplishments attributed to her passion and hard work in the field.
Wilma Grant was born near Glasgow, Scotland. When she was fifteen years old, her father John, a mining manager, passed away. To help her mother, Janet, make ends meet, she left school and worked at a wholesale grocers for a time while also attending hairdressing and beauty college, before starting her own business--mobile hairdressing. At 17, she decided she wanted to see the world and enlisted in the military. She completed basic training in England then was placed at Royal Air Force HQ--RAF Medmenham in Marlowe, Bucks, U.K. She spent three years working on NATO and RAF work during crises in Cyprus and Aden. Typesetting and communications in those days entailed having the ability to read and punch 5-, 6-, or 8-hole paper tape. Reading/punching that tape could be equated to learning/translating a foreign language
Three years later, demobilized from the military, she married a U.S. serviceman in Scotland and eventually traveled to the United States with her husband. He was stationed at the Pentagon and she found a typesetting job at a newspaper in Virginia and has remained in the printing industry since. She later worked in the commercial book and job industry in Washington, then at The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. In 1980 she accepted a position with the U.S. Government as a phototypesetter. A few years later she became the Supreme Court's "Secure In-Plant Manager" of the Publications Department/Office of Information Technology. She has worked there for the last thirty years and has directed the legal book publishing/typesetting and production of U.S. Reports, Preliminary Prints, Bench Opinions, Slip Opinions, and related products. She also has responsibility for all other in-plant printing, design/graphics, print-on-demand, data conversions, and electronic product delivery of Court documents for the Court's Hermes telecommunication transmissions and for the Court's website. Protecting the security of all such documents on site and backups going off-site fall under her management responsibility, as does Disaster Recovery for Print, an important task for many print managers. In addition, Wilma Grant is responsible for the safety and security of all documents handled by her department, including landmark cases such as Bush v. Gore; U.S. v. Nixon. Cases heard here are on constitutional relevance; thousands of petitions are filed annually to that end. As printers each of us can agree that meeting "print" deadlines can be rough, but another responsibility is the expeditious handling of orders in death cases from all states.
Following graduation from George Mason University's Executive MBA Program in 1995, Wilma pioneered the reengineering of the Court's Publications Unit with the addition of networked print-on-demand and color technology; open architecture system; expanded data conversion services; Hermes telecommunications and BBS support; imaging support; extending composition and binding services; and creating an ergonomically attractive printing department. The MBA Program included attendance at Oxford University in England and meetings with dignitaries in Luxembourg, Paris, Belgium, and Holland.
Rivaling her professional endeavors are her numerous honors and accomplishments in the printing industry:
Wilma Grant closes her résumé by saying, "You name it, I've probably done it, and if not I am up to any challenge laid before me. I enjoy a wonderful career in public and community service and love association work, member networking, and giving."
Wilma credits her parents for teaching her the responsibility of work and the joy of sharing and helping others.
The Berber Award will be presented at Printing Industries of America's Fall Administrative Meetings, November 11–14, 2010, in San Francisco, CA. This forum hosts an impressive audience of industry leaders, including boards of directors and committee members from Printing Industries of America, its Ben Franklin Honor Society, and the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF).

|Unit level:
|Level 6
|Teaching period(s):
|Semester 1
|Offered by
|School of Computer Science
|Available as a free choice unit?:
This module will examine the entire data life cycle, including data creation, modelling, acquisition, representation, use, maintenance, preservation and disposal. As the majority of data is stored in databases, the module will examine various database engineering approaches to support data management, including database design, data warehousing, maintenance and analytics. Data standards and data quality will be examined and the challenge of "big datasets" will be considered.
OverviewThe Harvard Business Review in October 2012 described the role of data scientist as 'the sexiest job of the 21st century'. The 'big data' phenomenon has become part of the vernacular, with the digital universe expected to grow by a factor of 44 from 2009-2020 to a trillion Gigabytes [IDC Digital Universe Study, 2010]. This has led to recognition of a data lifecycle and the need for its systematic management, including both technical and societal issues. Particular focus here is on issues such as data standardisation and data quality, and data analytics (description and prediction) across all application domains.

It was a swift and resounding guilty verdict Thursday in the case of a Philadelphia pimp who used Bensalem motels to exploit drug-addicted women in an illegal sex-for-money operation.
A Bucks County jury in Doylestown deliberated for less than an hour before finding Enoch Smith, 36, guilty of 14 crimes, including rape, promoting prostitution and drug delivery.
Smith did not react as the verdict was read. He did not answer questions as he left the courtroom and made an obscene hand gesture at a reporter.
�I�m very pleased with the verdict today,� said deputy district attorney Jennifer Schorn. �It was obvious that the members of the jury went through the evidence and were swift with their verdict, but they were also methodical.�
The verdict capped a four-day trial in which four women, including two from Solebury, testified that Smith charged men as much as $180 an hour to have sex with them, then paid them in heroin and crack cocaine.
The women said Smith knew they were heroin addicts and exploited their addiction to make money. They said they quickly became dependent on Smith, who meted out their drugs depending on how many �dates� they completed, and made them grovel and perform sex acts on him when they needed drugs and didn�t bring in enough customers.
One of the women, a 19-year-old Huntingdon Valley resident, said Smith raped her when she refused to continue selling her body after performing only two dates.
Smith denied the charges. He took the stand Thursday morning, against his attorney�s advice, and spent more than an hour bobbing and weaving around witness testimony.
In a rambling, one-hour statement that was not interrupted by his defense lawyer, Harry Cooper, Smith explained that the money police found in his pockets when he was arrested in March 2012 was from a five-day casino blackjack streak, and that he needed the hundreds of condoms recovered from his car because he was extremely sexually active.
�I�m a man and I have sex, and I strap up,� he told the jury.
Smith talked on and on about his living situation at the time of his arrest, claiming that he was staying at motels because he was waiting for a rental home to be ready, not because he was using the rooms for his illegal business.
He described his two cars, mentioning one�s 22-inch wheel rims at least five times, saying police �profiled� him because he drove flashy vehicles.
Smith became emotional at one point, appearing to weep as he talked about the women who frequent the drug-infested area of Kensington. He told the jury that he knew that people victimize women battling addiction.
�There�s people in that neighborhood who prey on those girls, you know what I�m saying? They prey on those girls �cause they sick, and they got to have it.�
Smith said he was �surprised� when he was accused of being a pimp.
�To me, a pimp is from TV, from the �60s and �70s. I don�t think they exist any more,� he said. �I�m thinking to myself, where is this coming from?�
He admitted knowing the women who accused him, and said he thought they worked for an online escort service.
�To me, escorting, as I looked at it then, was legitimate ... because it was on the Internet.�
Smith said that he was protecting one of the women from a stalker, and he believed the stalker framed him.
�Basically trying to make me out to be a monster,� he said.
When Schorn confronted Smith about the laptop police found in his car, which contained 1,500 photos � mostly of scantily clad women and online classified sex ad sites, but also of him � Smith said the computer wasn�t his.
When she showed him a notebook, also recovered from his car, which had an email address made up of his nickname and date of birth scrawled in it, as well as the password �escort76,� he said he suspected someone had created the email information to get him in trouble.
�Somebody was trying to create one for me, �cause I don�t play on the Internet,� he said.
Smith also accused police of beating him up while he was being arrested.
In her closing statement to the jury, Schorn said Smith was a smart businessman who knew that selling women was less risky and more profitable than selling drugs.
�They are commodities. They are assets. They made him money,� she said.
Schorn told the jury that the four women who testified against Smith had no reason to lie, and reminded the panel that the victims were guaranteed the same protection under the law as any other person, even if they did engage in drug use and prostitution.
Cooper, Smith�s attorney, urged the jury to stick to the facts and not be biased by sympathy or hate. He said the witnesses were not credible, saying the woman who accused Smith of rape lied because she was worried about being arrested for prostitution.
�She lies when it�s convenient for her, when she wants something,� Cooper said.
Smith will be sentenced in about 90 days, following a Megan�s Law evaluation, and could serve more than 40 years in a state prison.
He is tentatively scheduled to stand trial in June in federal court, for allegedly prostituting a 15-year-old girl and creating child pornography. The federal charges carry a potential life term.
The case has been closely watched by victim advocates who say it proves that human trafficking occurs in the suburbs. A task force on the issue is being organized in Bucks.
After the verdict was read, Bucks County Judge Wallace Bateman told the jurors that they made the right call.
�For what it�s worth, I think you reached an appropriate verdict,� he said.
Cooper declined to comment after the verdict.
Schorn praised Bensalem police for cracking the case, and said the women who testified were extremely brave.
�They showed the strength to be present and confront their abuser in court, and for that I�m very grateful.�

By Sandi Bramblett, Executive Director of Institutional Research and Planning/ Decision Support Services, Georgia Institute of Technology
A mentor once told me that higher education as an industry can be described as "intensely political, yet oddly personal." Cultivating and nurturing relationships across the institution is the most effective tool at an institutional researcher's disposal. This is why we can embrace the Statement of Aspirational Practice for Institutional Research. It makes institutional research a team sport in which the practitioners are coaches. Our responsibility lies in ensuring we share our knowledge and expertise with others at the institution. Everyone wants to see students succeed, and what better place to put the statement to work than to tie it to student success!
At my institution, we are searching for a senior director for institutional research and planning. The Statement of Aspirational Practice for Institutional Research arrived in my inbox while we were doing the initial screening of candidates. It was so thought-provoking that we decided to use it on a questionnaire to narrow down our field of applicants. We simply asked our candidates to provide their thoughts on the aspirational statement. The answers we received enabled us to develop a strong pool of potential directors. I will encourage our new senior director to use the aspirational statement to form his or her roadmap for Georgia Tech's Office of Institutional Research & Planning. We are already heavily involved in student success initiatives on our campus, and empowering others to really know and understand the data is yet another service we can offer as we set out to accomplish our own institutional goals and achieve our vision.
Last month, I was a guest lecturer for Karen Webber's Institutional Research class at the University of Georgia. The class was made up of master's and Ph.D. students who are enrolled at the Institute for Higher Education. I used the aspirational statement to guide a portion of my remarks, highlighting the institutional accountability that the shared model of IR supports. A great discussion ensued! This was yet another venue to discuss the merits of a federated institutional research function. Clearly, this is an idea whose time has come, and it's up to each of us to start the discussion at our institutions. I invite you to take a moment to think through how you'll frame that discussion. Start with your IR office. Next, talk it over with your boss. Take it to your colleagues throughout the institution. Empower them to become your allies in data literacy and let us know how you're making the Statement of Aspirational Practice for Institutional Research come alive on your campus. It all starts with one conversation…

Boy was I almost stumped by this challenge-I mean green..........??? really???? I had myself all in a dither about this LOL....I am terrible at color challenges but I think I managed to make a fun green card after all! (And then I realized that your card does not have to be all green-just have green on it somewhere...) Duh.
I stamped this little harvest mouse stamp, cut off the pumpkin and handed him a clover!!! Ta-Dahhh!
You can see the fall card I made with this stamp here. Nothing makes me happier than using stamps multiple times in creative ways. This stamp is one that can be so versatile...I can see substituting the pumpkin for an egg for easter, flowers for mothers day...the list goes on and on! Time to think outside the box!
I cut out the green base, clover and lucky me sentiment with my Silhouette-love that machine!

Robben escapes punishment for diving
FIFA will not be taking action against Arjen Robben after he admitted diving during Holland's 2-1 win over Mexico.
Robben apologised for diving on one occasion in the game but insisted it had not been for the decisive penalty in stoppage time, which he described as "definitely a foul."
FIFA head of media Delia Fischer said the disciplinary committee would only look retrospectively at "serious infringements'' of fair play rules - diving only carries a yellow card sanction - and that Robben would face no action.
Fischer said: "Simulation is not something we want to see on the field of play but the referees are trained to identify these simulations and punish them by showing yellow cards.
"The disciplinary committee will look into serious infringements. We appeal to the spirit of fair play which is the over-arching message we have."
The Dutch FA (KNVB) also claimed Robben's comments had been misinterpreted in a statement on its official website, stressing the player had said the late penalty call was "perfectly correct" and he was referring to an earlier incident when admitting he had "fell too easily".
Robben further expanded on the issue at a news conference in Rio later on Monday, saying: "I apologised for one stupid action, but it didn't have an influence in the game.Sometimes, you know, I like to be honest. We had two clear penalties, one given. That was it. Now we should move on."

The Value Tongue and Groove Apex Garden Shed range are quality sheds at fantastic value for money. Each shed in this range is clad with 12mm tongue and groove shiplap fixed onto 27mm x32mm framework. This gives a robust shed structure that is log-lasting and can stand up to severe weather and general wear and tear.
The shiplap cladding is a profiled tongue and groove board which allow water to run off easily to help protect the joints of the timber.
The Apex roof on each garden shed in this range adds strength to the structure and a slight overhang around the garden shed ensures any rainwater drips clear, away from the walls.
The Apex roof style of these sheds also gives more headroom and storage space of the larger and taller items that you may want to store away.
Mineral roofing felt is supplied in this range of buildings which protects the roof boards and is aesthetically pleasing to look at.
The windows are glazed with styrene which is a safer alternative to glass as it doesn't shatter. The windows can be installed on either side of the sheds to suit your requirements.
The braced doors are clad with tongue and grooved boarding and braced by 27mm x 32mm framing making the door stronger and suitable to fit additional security measures such as press locks or a hasp & staple.
Structurally sound 8mm thick OSB roof boarding and 10mm thick OSB floor boarding are used for durability and stability.
The Value Overlap series has a turn button to keep the door closed.
Please note that our garden sheds and framed summerhouses are pre-treated with a water based timber treatment which protects the shed whilst in transit but it is still neccessary to treat the building with a good quality solvent based preservative iether before or immediately after installation. This will give good weather protection for your building and help to lenghten it's lifespan, but will need to be repeated according to the wood treatment's manufacturers instructions.

Mattel reveal their new 'Barbie' tribute to Rock Hudson and Doris Day doll giftset at the 2011 New York International ToyfairFebruary 17, 2011 17 Comments
Later this year, the American toy manufacturer Mattel will release a new celebrity collection of 'Barbie' doll gift sets which are dressed up in outfits associated with some of the most legendary stars and characters of TV, film and music.
One of the sets which has been produced pays tribute to Hollywood's ultimate golden couple Rock Hudson and Doris Day. It celebrates their most iconic on-screen pairing in the 1959 motion picture "Pillow Talk". The two dolls feature authentic fashions from the award-winning romantic comedy which centred around the perky interior designer Jan Morrow (Doris) and "womanizing" cad Brad Allen (Rock). The set was notably produced with the approval and assistance of Ms. Day and her management.
Other celebrity Barbies will be of "Frank Sinatra", Grace Kelly, Reba McEntire, Elvis Presley, "I Love Lucy", "Bewitched", "I Dream of Jeannie", Dynasty's Alexis and Farrah Fawcett.
Mattel revealed their new dolls at the 2011 New York International Toyfair. The series is expected to be available across the USA this summer from all good toys stores such as Toys "R" Us and Walmart. We have also created a special page devoted to the "Pillow Talk" doll set with links to buy it online.
More news will be provided as we have it. We understand the "Pillow Talk" set (item #V7160) should retail around $70USD.News

The British Comics Wiki is launched! Go to www.crystal-knights.co.uk/
The Post:
Having built up quite a collection of food, i was able to save some money recently. And, trying to ignore my need of new shoes ("the weather's warming up anyway, it won't rain much") i decided to buy a Chums volume i've had my eye on. It was £45 (well, 40 as the woman very kindly gives a student discount), as opposed to £2.99 (and £10 delivery) for the 1906/7 volume… but then again that was from Ebay, which is often cheaper, and in horrendous condition. It even smells like it's been near a fire at one point, my more adventruous nature would like to think it narrowly escaped the blitz, but more likely it was in an attic near where the chimney went up for many years.
Anyway, Chums was initially started by Cassell & Co. in 1892, pre-empting the perhaps better-remembered Boys' Friend for a large-format story paper with serial instalments, in addition to a complete story of decent length, and the odd factual article. Then again Chums was most likely a penny when it started, whereas the Boys' Friend was a halfpenny in the 1890's, that would have accounted for sales success.
Following the style of the times, the size of the paper was what we'd today call arbitrary. Or perhaps "two thirds tabloid".
Volumes of The Boys' Friend 1903-4, Chums 1906-7 (the covers are only very slightly bigger than the comics within) and a typical "half tabloid" (roughly A4 give or take a few mm's – though older ones described as the same were actually a little bigger, especially in height, due to cheaper printing quality needing more 'run off' room.) comic.
The 1907 (i'll call them by the later year now to save myself so much typing!) volume, despite being very rickety (it needed repairs i may cover in another post), contains a lot of fascinating material. The typical content of an issue seems to have been longish instalments of at least two serials, a complete story, sometimes a second complete story, as well as an "editors chat" (sometimes a page, sometimes two columns). At least one humourous comic strip, usually with it's panels "scattered" on a text page and miscellaneous oddments of knowledge or snippets of interesting news and events. A bit like a less-childish Chatterbox, really. Some issues would include a longer article in place of the second complete story, these articles usually profusely illustrated with photographs and related to some subject of direct interest to the readers, such as scouting. Still more issues didn't feature either, though, simply taking up the room with a lot of small articles or jokes.
The 1907 volume also reproduces the covers and adverts, in fact it's just the same as the paper that was sold individually in the shops. There is, actually, the possibility that this is a bound volume of the paper that was bought every week by somebody and then bound together using the "official covers" that could probably be bought seperately. However the beginning of the book (mainly the bit of 'tracing paper' over the contents, as was the style of the times) suggests otherwise. I'm sure the advertisers and cover illustrators didn't complain about the extra exposure anyway.
Two typical spreads from the 1907 volume. Note the comic strips (and the sometimes "scattered" layout of them), the short articles with bold headings and the adventure stories. Aside from the comic strips, covers and heading pictures for the stories (in a lot of serials this seems to have been the same each instalment) illustrations of the text stories are actually quite few and far between. The odd complete story seems to have quite a few, though. Perhaps it was just what would fit in once the story was done… or if the illustrators had time to provide any!
Photographs are actually a more common sight in the older volume than the new. Several articles on ships (this the HMS dreadnought, the insitigator of a whole era of naval warfare) and monarchs / heads of state feature them. The reproduction is actually quite good compared to the high-contrast, murky reproduction in some other papers. (It's certainly better than the flash makes it look in this picture!)
Onto the newer volume now, covering 1932 to 1933 (the volumes start from roughly September). This one features no covers or adverts reproduced, and judging by the contents the quantity of factual articles, sage editorial advice, comic strips and amusing snippets had been reduced to almost nothing, a whole issue could seemingly pass without any of those. To make up for this, the quantity of exciting adventure stories was greatly increased. Serials were still the norm, with complete stories appearing in every issue. The number of illustrations, especially in the complete stories, was greatly increased too.
The reason for the apparent vanishing of the factual articles and such-like may be down to the fact this is a bound annual sold by the publisher, and not the individual issues. The articles may have been left out, providing only the stories. Or else the page count of the issues themselves may have been drastically reduced. The reasons for this are not too hard to work out – by this time Chums was published by the Amalgamated Press, presumably they had bought Cassell & co. out, and they wanted to run this "rival" into the ground. Or else sales were just dropping off anyway. That said the paper did seemingly continue into 1941 (so says a book i have), so perhaps it avoided "Graveyard week". I bet the final volume, with inevitable war stories, makes fascinating reading! Another interesting note is that Chums' seeming 'main rival', the Boys' Friend, had actually vanished in 1927 (though if you ask me, from the limited exposure i have had to both, the Boys' Friend was better!).
(Also – from the brief flick i had it appears that none of the AP staple characters of Bunter & co., Sexton Blake, Nelson Lee etc appared in Chums. I did notice the familiar styles of Eric Parker, illustrator to Sexton Blake's golden age, illustrating a story though)
The spines. Actually a terrible pic but you can just make out the publisher's names – as well as the shiny new card of my home-made repairs to the 1907 volume. The spine was just a sheet of cloth and some very crumbly 101-year-old card when i recieved it.
Two typical spreads, the short factual articles and anecdotes are now reduced to tiny box-outs that can be ignored. Comic strips are replaced by single "gag panels" too (not that the 1907 volume didn't feature those in great number too, but in the 1933 one they are rarely seen at all). The rest of it is wall-to-wall swashbuckling adventure! The choice of these two spreads was actually not brilliant, as there's hardly any pictures. They are a lot more common in this volume though – honestly!
Another thing that is a great deal more common in the 1933 volume is coloured plates. Some do appear in the 1907 volume though, and not in an "even pattern" either, so it's probable that they were lost (i'm sure there's the odd page missing too, i havent read a great deal of it yet. Despite immense quantites of PVA glue not all the pages are attached). In the 1933 volume though they are all present. I don't know if they were sold with odd issues of the weekly paper (Chatterbox was apparently often sold with an optional plate – and only some of these plates appeared in the published annuals, meaning private-bound volumes had more) or just specific to the annuals. Photographs seem to only appear on the rear of the coloured plates too, and not in the actual comics.
The content of the adventure stories in the 1933 volumes has two overriding themes when you turn to a random page. Flight is the first, the 20's and early 30's being a golden age of aerial navigation, without ground control or radar anybody who could afford a flying-machine could take to the skies whenever the fancy took them, and charge about at leisure. A close encounter with another aeronaut being the occasion for a friendly wave and maybe a little stunt display – and not terrified screams from air-traffic control, perhaps the scrambling of fighters and a front-page headline "NEAR MISS DEATH MANIAC! – It wouldn't have happened if we all had ID cards" on every paper the following day.
The other common theme is war, most especially "The World War". The stories are somewhere between later reflections on the horrors of the trenches, and the stories of "Let's get 'em! hurry up it'll be over by christmas (notice we don't say what christmas)!" that appeared during the conflict. So whilst the stories still provide the right amount of thrilling adventure and characters devoted to duty and doing everything they can to fight the enemy so long as they have breath in thier body, the tales still muse on the horrible toll, and the fact that not all of your friends, or you, will ever return home. Which if you ask me is the perfect balance – because if you want realism, go outside.
As an aside, just look at the picture below, taken from the very last complete story in the book – wouldn't look out of place in Charley's War, would it?
A final oft-seen theme in the book, primarily in serial form, is the boarding school story. This was, after all, the age of the Magnet and Gem. No obvious Charles Hamilton spotted… but he had his hands full writing for the Magnet, Gem, Penny Popular and who knows what else each week. So i doubt there is any.
Another interesting thing that appeared in the 1907 volume is this fold-out coloured plate, that was just tucked in near the back. It appears to be from the Boys' Own Paper? I might frame it one day, even with that crease.

Rule #1: My Age When we are three, we often call our relatives by different names than what we would at twenty. This simple fact dictates my first rule. In my kinship terminology, I apply this rule to my mother, father, and sister. When I was younger, I addressed to them as Mommy, Daddy, and Sis. Today, I address them as Mom, Dad, and Breann.
Rule #2: Habit This is the exception to my first rule. Some of the silly names that I called relatives when I was younger happened to stick around into adulthood. In my kinship terminology, I apply this rule to my grandmother, Jean, and my aunt, Deena. As a child, I called my grandmother "Jean" because it was easier to say than grandma. Today, I still call her Jean out of pure habit. This is also true of my aunt, whom I called "Aunt Dee" because it was easier to say than Aunt Deena.
Today, I still call her Aunt Dee out of pure habit as well.
Rule #3: Informality I am from a very informal family. We do not have a formal dining room, big dinner parties, or wear fancy clothes. I think that the casual environment of my family lends to a very casual kinship terminology system. Forty of the fifty-nine kin on my list are people I address solely on an informal, first name basis. This is true even of my husband's family, whom I feel just as close to as my own family. Unlike most families, age does not automatically merit a specific title in my family. Of course, like any other rule, there are a handful of exceptions, which leads me to my fourth rule.
Rule #4: The Old-Fashioned Family Members In my family, there are a few old-fashioned members who prefer to be addressed with a little bit more respect than the average person. These people wish to be addressed with a particular title of their own choosing. In my family, these people include some of my husband's grandparents. All of which, wish to be referred to as "grandma/grandpa" followed by their last name.
Rule #5: The Individual's Attitude There are also several people in family that are or were a little more stubborn and argumentative than the average person. These individuals have the ability to change attitudes with the drop of a hat; thus, also changing my kinship terminology. When their attitude towards other people turns hostile, my kinship terminology changes as well. In my family, my grandmother, Judy, and my grandfather, Prier, fit perfectly under this rule. When they are being civil people, I address them as grandma and grand-dad. When their attitude turns mean-natured, I address them as Judy and Prier.
Rule #6: I Just Plain Do Not Like Them Sadly enough, there are a couple of people in my family that I just do not like. These people are, in actuality, very closely related to me, but they have at some point turned into someone whom I would rather not be related to. I guess that these are the "black sheep" that every family supposedly has. In my family, my uncle and my father ""in-law fit perfectly under this rule. Both individuals have proven themselves, through divorces, to be the most inconsiderate members of the family. It is for these reasons that I simply address these individuals by their first name. I could call them "Uncle Mitch and Dad", but I so not believe that they deserve such fond labels.
Rule #7: Nicknames are Easier Sometimes, nicknames are faster than regular names and much easier to spell. In my family, I address one of my cousins by his nickname quite often. His real name is Zachary, but I cannot ever remember how spell it and it takes too long to say in a hurry; therefore, I often just call him Zach.
Rule #8: Alone or Not Alone There are also a handful of people whom I address differently depending on if I am alone with that person or not. My mother-in-law and father-in-law and my husband are perfect examples of this rule. I call my mother-in-law and father-in-law "mom and dad" when I am alone with them. In public places, I address them as "Glenda and Wayne." As strange as it might sound, I do this simply to avoid confusion. I want them to know that I think of them as my own parents, but I also do not want other people to get confused on who is who. Similarly, I also address my husband differently when we are alone. I call him "Sweetie" when we are alone and "Jarrod" when we are in public places. In this situation, I address him differently out of respect for people around us. I do not enjoy seeing two people address each other with cute little pet names in public; therefore, I refrain from doing so as well.
Rule #9: Inherited Terms There are two members of my family whom I call my aunt and uncle who are, in actuality, my great aunt and uncle. I grew up hearing my father call them "Uncle Buddy and Aunt Jane;" therefore, I picked up on that and started calling them that as well. As a matter of fact, my great-uncle's name is not even Buddy. His real name is Walter! I have no clue where the name "Buddy" even came from. It is almost like I inherited my father's kinship terminology.
Rule #10: My Reference Rule This final rule applies solely to the way I refer to people. Due to my recent marriage, my family has quadrupled in size within the past month. Due to this fact, many friends and family members do not know who everyone is; therefore, referring to people can be somewhat of a challenge. When I refer to someone, I often have to connect him or her with someone whom the person I am speaking to already knows. For example, when I am telling one of my friends about Tina, I may have to refer to her as "Jarrod's sister" for them to understand whom I am speaking about. This is the underlying rule with all of my names of reference.

Chilli Soy Nuggets
I adapted this recipe from a magazine called New Woman that I was browsing thru on my trip to India last year. It can be served as an appetizer or side dish with fried rice.
Here's how I made it:
1 cup soy nuggets - soak in warm salted water for 15-30 mins
Veggies - Onions, colored peppers, carrots - cut into matchsticks or smaller pieces as desired
Oil - 2 tsp
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp hot sauce (I used Sriracha)
additional salt if needed
pinch of sugar (I used brown sugar)
Spring onion, cilantro for garnish
Heat the oil in a large wok. Fry the veggies till slightly cooked but still crunchy. Fry the ginger-garlic paste for a minute. Add the soy sauce, vinegar and hot sauce. Drain the soy nuggets, squeeze out as much water as possible. Add to the wok. Stir fry on medium high heat till nicely coated with the sauces. Add salt and sugar. Take off heat. Garnish with cilantro/spring onions and serve hot.

Will Storage, Tottington
If there is one place you should never, ever, keep an original Will, it is at home
If anything should happen to you in a house fire and your Will went up in smoke with you, then you haven't got a Will. If your Will is damaged in any way which could cast doubts as to the contents of the Will or raise questions as to why the damage was done, then the courts could throw your Will out as being invalid.
You need to keep your Will in a place that's safe and secure. However, that place should not be so safe and secure that no one can find it when it's needed!
We offer a Safe Document Storage facility which is a unique national, central, storage facility for Wills that overcomes all of the problems of safely caring for important legal documents, for an annual fee. Your Will is kept in a specialist document archive facility. While it is stored, iif it is lost or damaged while you are alive and well, then it will be replaced for you, free of charge.
You can access your document at any time. The document can be returned to us for updating free of charge.
When your Executors need to access the documents, once they have provided a death certificate and proof of their identity, your documents will be returned to them, using an insured delivery service.
You will be provided with a unique Identity Number and contact telephone number. When you or your Executors need to access the Will, simply telephone the contact number and we will arrange the return of your Will to a convenient address.

After the enormous popular success of his second novel (Little Bee, 2009, etc.), British author Cleave turns to the world of Olympic speed cyclists to explore the shifting sands of ambition, loyalty and love.
Tom, who just barely missed his own medal in 1968, is coaching Kate and Zoe to represent Britain at the 2012 Olympics, which the 32-year-old women know will be their last. They are best friends but fierce rivals. Zoe, who already has won four Olympic golds, lives only to race and will do anything, including sacrifice friends, ethics and her own emotional needs, to come in first. Though technically as fast, Kate is a perpetual runner -up, and compared to Zoe, she seems almost soft; her willingness to put family needs first has caused her to pass up two previous Olympic competitions. And then there is Jack, who has his own Olympic golds. He met Zoe and Kate when the three were stars in a program Tom ran to train Britain's most talented adolescent cycling prospects. Jack was the sexy boy down from Scotland and obviously bound for glory. Although he and Zoe shared a brief, highly charged and emotionally fraught affair, Kate was the one he fell in love with and married. Their little girl, Sophie, is the novel's real heart. Cleave has a gift for portraying difficult children who pull every heartstring. Battling leukemia and obsessed with Star Wars, Sophie furtively watches her parents' reactions to her illness. Kate both embraces and resents that she is the one who must make the sacrifices for Sophie, while Jack's commitment to his wife and daughter is deeper, if more complex, than Kate recognizes. Meanwhile, emotionally stunted Zoe is facing a personal crisis of her own, both public and private. Then higher-ups change the rules, and father-figure Tom must choose whether Kate or Zoe is going to the Olympics.
In weaker hands this would seem a bit contrived, but Cleave knows how to captivate with rich characters and nimble plotting.

A Florida woman who fired warning shots against her allegedly abusive husband has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.The conservative majority on the Supreme Court is right, you see: We live in post-racism America.
Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville had said the state's "Stand Your Ground" law should apply to her because she was defending herself against her allegedly abusive husband when she fired warning shots inside her home in August 2010. She told police it was to escape a brutal beating by her husband, against whom she had already taken out a protective order.

The area of natural tropical forest under 'sustainable management' has increased by 47%, from 36 million hectares to 53 million hectares between 2005 and 2010, according to a new report by the International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO).
The report, entitled Status of Tropical Forest Management 2011, analysed data from 33 important forest countries, including the world's major tropical timber producing countries: Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Indonesia.
The most significant gains in forest protection were found in Africa, where forest areas with management plans increased 180 percent, from 10 million hectares to 28 million hectares.
90% still unprotected
Despite a substantial improvement in global forest management, there is still a long way to go before the future of our forests is secure.
Although the tropical forests of Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean are better managed today than they were five years ago, around 90% of tropical forests still lack any form of protection.
Recent satellite observations have revealed an alarming increase in deforestation in Brazil, indicating that loss of forest may continue in some areas of a country even as protection increases in other areas.
Deforestation to continue
Forest clearance continues to increase as countries struggle to cope with burgeoning populations and their demand for raw materials such as wood, as well as land on which to settle and grow food.
According to Dr Duncan Poore, an author of the ITTO report and a former head of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), "The reality is that in most countries, deforestation is going to continue".

Dr. John W. Daly, 75, a world renowned leader in chemical ecology, biological chemistry and pharmacology,
died of pancreatic cancer Mar. 5.
His colleagues Drs. H. Martin Garraffo,
Kenneth Jacobson, Kenneth Kirk and Thomas Spande have planned a Tribute to John William Daly: A Life Dedicated to Chemistry in Nature, for Thursday, June 12, from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Natcher conference center.
A reception will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. Current and former colleagues and friends and family will gather to celebrate Dalys 50-year career at NIH.
We are all contributing to planning this tribute out of respect for the man, his values and achievementsand in gratitude for his influence on our own careers, said Jacobson. Inspired by the breadth of Dalys work from 1958 to 2008, Kirk and Jacobson have charted his scientific contributions and respective collaborators to organize the tribute.
Scientist emeritus at NIDDK until his death, Daly was a world authority on amphibian alkaloids and an expert in many areas of natural products. The 26 classes of alkaloids he discovered have had a major impact on knowledge of how the nervous system functions and how drugs interact with the nervous system.
Dalys research spanned many disciplines and resulted in numerous accomplishments.
His discoveriesand adventures in the rainforests of Central and South America, Australia and Madagascarhave been published many times, in hundreds of professional journals and in newspapers and magazines. Daly was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1997 and won numerous awards including the American Chemical Societys Ernest Guenther Award in the Chemistry
of Natural Products in 2002.
Garraffo remembers Daly this way: He combined in one person a great scientist, the Sean Connery of Medicine Man and the Harrison Ford of Indiana Jones.
John, more than any researcher I ever met at NIH, was a rare blend of organic
chemist and pharmacologist and there was nothing that didnt interest him, recalls Spande, who worked with Daly for 28 years. Johns greatness is that he knew he had a tiger by the tail with epibatidine, a trace alkaloid from an Ecuadorian
frog, and he would not let it go. Most investigators would have dropped the whole project after a few years of ambiguous results, but John persisted. It paid off. Daly discovered that epibatidine was 200 times more potent than morphine
as a painkiller and that it acts not through morphine-sensitive targets, but through receptors for nicotine.
Speakers at the tribute will include colleagues such as Dr. Bernhard Witkop, who recruited Daly to NIH, and others from around the globe. Rounding out the event, Luke Hoch will share fish stories about Daly, his long-time fishing partner.
Garraffo turned to his native language to sum up Dalys influence: In Spanish, the word maestro is used both for teacher and for master. I want to say goodbye to both in John. ¡Adiós al maestro!
Daly is survived by his life partner, Kathleen McKnight and her two children, Stephanie and Eugene; his daughters, Kathryn Daly and Shannon Ostrander; his sister, Hildred Powers; and four grandchildren.

Marc Anthony split from his model wife after two years of marriage. Apparently, Marc and Shannon De Lima have been broken up for a few weeks but the news came out on the day Marc and his other former wife, Jennifer Lopez kissed on the stage at the Latin Grammy Awards on Thursday night. The shocking turn lip lock of the two at the event made the headlines immediately. Everybody wondered if the two former lovers are back together and if so, what about his relationship with De Lima?
Jennifer Lopez not only performed with her ex and gave him the Person of the Year Award at the ceremony in Las Vegas, but she also gifted him with a kiss. The diva hugged Marc to congratulate him and then the two locked lips sending the crowd into frenzy.
As much as it looks like it, Benny Medina, Lopez's manager insists that the former husband and wife are "not back together" despite the fact that their kiss looks like a nonverbal suggestion that the two have rekindled their love.
Marc and Shannon were last seen together in public at the Madison Square Garden concert on August 16, when Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony performed a duet together.
After that event, the former couple has decided to reunite in the studio to work on a new album.
All of those interactions, plus the fact that Lopez has been single since her breakup from Casper Smart earlier this year, suggest that Marc and Jennifer would've had plenty of opportunities to get back together.
Marc's breakup from the Venezuelan model is his third failed marriage after J.Lo and beauty queen Dayanara Torres.
Marc married De Lima at his residence in the Dominican Republic two years ago, on November 11, 2014. His relationship with the model started just a few months after the singer split from Jennifer Lopez.
Are they really together again? If so, why are they trying to hide their relationship?

Theatres at Risk
The Theatres at Risk register is our way of highlighting and supporting the theatre buildings under threat and at greatest risk across the UK.
A working theatre plays an important role for its local community, both in terms of creating identity and also as an economic driver for creating employment and for the night-time economy.
We raise awareness of theatres at risk to ensure these incredible buildings are kept safe. We launch our register annually to bring their stories to a national audience.
What is a theatre at risk?
Theatres can be at risk for a variety of reasons. This includes threat of closure or demolition, loss of funding, lack of maintenance, or neighbouring development. Any number of these can have an adverse effect on the venue and its ability to operate.
The buildings may be currently in theatre use, in other uses, vacant or derelict. They can be theatres of any size and type, and may or may not be listed buildings.
How do we rate them?
Each theatre on the Theatres at Risk register is assigned a total risk rating. We look at the immediacy and type of risk the theatre faces, the quality and significance of the building, whether this is theatrical or architectural, and its importance to its community.
Play your part
Take a look at the latest theatres on our Theatres at Risk register below. They are ranked in order of most at risk.
Download the full Theatres at Risk 2018 list and map.
If you have memories of any of these theatres from back in their heydays, we want to hear from you.
You can play your part in the protection of theatres across the UK. Read about the different theatres, and show your support any way you can, whether it's spreading the word, joining their friends group, or donating to an appeal.

It's been a while since I've blogged but thought I'd take a moment to shout out Influenster. I recently received the FrostyVoxBox after being turned on to the website by my roommate. My roommates and I were all very excited when I was chosen and I was impressed they left the box un-tampered with when it arrived while I was out of town. When I opened it my boyfriend immediately Fruit Vines. He ate them all, but was nice enough to save me one. They were good enough that I will definitely buy some again. My favorite item is the Rimmel London eye-liner. I have purchased eye-liner since I went blind in my left eye and it will be fun to test it out again. I will post more as I explore more of my fabulous new things!

Laser Hair Removal for Dark, Coarse Hair
Laser hair removal is now seen as a very important part of the dermatological means of aesthetic care or one's beauty regime. It's been growing in popularity since the mid 1990's, which also coincides with the growth and continuous boom in non-surgical cosmetic procedures. There are a wider range of men and women that relish in the physical appeal and confidence derived from getting non-surgical cosmetic work done. Permanent changes may not produce consistent results for each patient because of the variation in tools, surgeon experience and patient body type, but non-surgical procedures can provide gentler options. With laser hair removal, there is a standard of care to be expected because this area of dermatological enhancement has designated skin types, hair types and the correlating hair removal treatments for the best results.
Frankly, patient treatment methods begin with their skin type. This helps determine the laser method and application that will be safest on their skin and most effective on their body hair. Dermatologists use this information to predict how a patient's skin will respond to sun exposure and therefore the laser light. A chart is used to organize data about skin types from white to dark brown/black. White skin is separated into three categories for the Caucasian skin and then ethnic men and women with white skin. They range in sun responses from burning and never truly tanning to being able to tan with minimal chances of burning. There are also categories for patients with light brown to black skin who tan but rarely burn, if ever. Anyone in any of these skin types can possess coarse, dark hair and require a solution for those unwanted strains.
There are several laser hair removal methods for each skin type and accompanying hair thicknesses and therefore color. For dark, coarse hair which is commonly found on tan and brown skin, there are two laser hair removal methods but several devices under each that can get rid of the hair most effectively. In order of most effective use for darker, coarser hair would be the pulsed light/ultimate light method or the Nd: Yag Laser method, which are shown to be effective for all skin types and therefore any man or woman with the dark, coarse hair that has been discussed. The pulsed light method is listed first as the most effective because it is the fastest removal process, has the longest success rate and, miraculously, causes the least amount of pain. Sounds like a bargain for patients who have been trying to shave, wax and pluck away thick, stubborn hair for years.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Model 3' started by Gilzo, Apr 3, 2016.
He can't help himself. More and more leaks. Love it.
And the upgrade to AWD will be cheaper than on the S/X (<5k)
Elon Musk on Twitter
Any stabs at the potential hp for the dual motor model 3? How about the range dual motor will add?
If the RWD will be <6 seconds 0-60 I expect the AWD version to be close to 5 seconds. Could be even faster than that if they aren't afraid to smoke the S performance.
For the S70 to S70D it added 10 miles of range and like *10 HP....
Although I am not a fan of AWD handling characteristics, in an EV the benefits of having regen on the front axle cannot be overstated. 70% of braking force is generated by the front axle and in a RWD EV this is essentially wasted, or in most cases, the rear regen is turned up so much as to cause stability issues in limited grip situations.
It always frustrated me watching F1 (In which all cars have been hybrids for a few years now) when a team was struggling with front brake issues, normally due to heat and overuse. I know the technology isnt there yet, but in the future if they could fit a hub motor on each front wheel they could regenerate so much energy in each braking zone while forgoing brake overheating issues

READ MORE- New York Times thanks IrishCentral on reporter-kidnap story
Four New York Times journalists are missing in Libya, the newspaper announced Wednesday.
Among those missing is Stephen Farrell, a reporter and videographer who holds Irish citizenship. This is the third time Farrell has been kidnapped. He was first captured in Iraq in 2004. He was held captive for a short time before he negotiated his freedom with his Iraqi captives. He was later kidnapped by the Taliban in September 2009 and was later rescued by British forces.
Farrell reports from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq in print and video.
The other journalists missing include the newspaper's Beirut bureau chief Anthony Shadid who is a Pulitzer Prize winner for foreign reporting and two photographers Tyler Hicks and Lynsey Addario.
The New York Times said the journalists were last in contact with their editors on Tuesday. It added that it could not confirm if the journalists were taken by Libyan government forces.
"We have talked with officials of the Libyan government in Tripoli, and they tell us they are attempting to ascertain the whereabouts of our journalists," executive editor Bill Keller said. "We are grateful to the Libyan government for their assurance that if our journalists were captured they would be released promptly and unharmed."
"Their families and their colleagues at The Times are anxiously seeking information about their situation, and praying that they are safe," he added.

June 5, 2016
Hello from Moldova,
We hope this newsletter finds all of you enjoying the beginning of a summer that is full of potential. April and May were exciting months for us- and now we are beginning summer. Summer is a very busy time for us, and we are waiting patiently for all of our camps to begin. We have children's day camps planned for some local villages, youth camp, and many other exciting activities this summer. But, for now, we want to catch you up on the last few months.
In April, we began to get even more involved in our local International Christian Fellowship. We really enjoy having the opportunity to meet and worship in English. There is nothing like the freedom of singing His praises in your native language. Our church meets in the afternoon, so we typically do church at our house in the morning or go to a church in the city in the mornings. Brian has gotten involved in the media side of things at the International Church, just like he did for years at our home church in Alabama. Kathryn is assisting with preschool ministry and is enjoying it. In April, we also had an amazing English Team. They came and helped us paint our church and breathe new life in to the room where we pray and worship. It was just the transformation we needed. They also worked with our kids at our children's home. They lead a short camp for kids and poured out the love of the Father on our kids. It was a blessing to behold!
One of our favorite things in April, was Nadea's talent show. Nadea is one of our most poetic (and emotional) girls. She is always walking through the house reciting Mihai Eminescu poetry with great feeling. Her school nominated her to be a part of a nationwide talent contest called "And you can be a star". She did an amazing job, and we were beaming with pride for her! It was also great to see more Moldovan traditional dances and music. We loved getting to be there to support one of our girls. Those moments are some of our favorites…and we do our best not to be the goofy Americans. Other moments that make our hearts happy are when our girls invite us into their lives.
In April, one of the girls in the Stella's House next door was sick and we spent time visiting her in the hospital. She is a quiet young woman, but she opened up to us about her life. Her parents died when she was young. She and her younger brother were left alone and sent to separate institutions. Her younger brother has cerebral palsy and was sent to an orphanage for children with disabilities. This sweet girl and her brother had very little time together growing up. But, she cares about him deeply. She wanted to celebrate his birthday with him and invited us to be a part of it. One rainy afternoon in April, we set out with her and her best friend (one of our girls) to celebrate her brother's 15th
birthday. What a time we had, with cake and simple gifts. We spent an afternoon laughing and enjoying time with these three dear little souls. We felt so honored to be invited in to her story. We are now trying to help her make some important decisions for his care and education. Her brother is a kind and loving soul and we want to see him prosper. As a special education teacher, Kathryn's heart was full. She could see all the educational, occupational, and physical needs he had. But, she could also see that he was well loved by his quiet and gentle older sister. On our way home from the village birthday celebration, we may have taken a "short cut" and ended up stuck in the mud. We had an old man yelling at us in Russian while we pushed our big blue van out of the road. Roads in Moldovan villages (and towns for that matter) are typically just plain awful. After a spring shower, they are treacherous.
After we made it out of the mud we all laughed and laughed and knew that we had just had an afternoon full of memory making.
May was a wonderful month that just flew by. Kathryn celebrated her very first Mother's Day. The girls in our house surprised her with homemade clatite (like crepes) and fruit salad. She felt so special. Parenting and caring for the 38 girls in our care can be very challenging and tiring-but we both know every sleepless moment is worth it. In the middle of May, we celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary…with a whole day together. It was wonderful we watched two movies and walked around the city hand in hand like a couple of teenagers in love. Spring in Moldova is beautiful and walking through the capital city in all her derelict glory is our favorite thing to do. We love all the beautiful old buildings…that just need a little love and care. At the end of May, two of our precious girls graduated from high school. Brian and I had to split up to attend both programs, but we were so incredibly grateful for the opportunity. The ceremonies were very typically Moldovan-full of traditional Moldovan dancing, accordion music, and fun décor. More than anything, we were proud of our girls because we know that not every Moldovan has the opportunity to or the support to complete school beyond 9th grade. We are thankful that our girls have access to a good education. Much research shows that access to education drastically reduces the chances of a young woman being trafficked. That is our goal here, to love and guide these precious lives but also to protect them from the very real world of trafficking and exploitation that is rampant here.
As we begin June, we are taking a huge breath and preparing for the busy times ahead. We ask for your continued prayers for our girls as they finish up high stakes graduation exams and prepare for their next steps. We ask for prayers for our girls that we are starting to transition in to independent living. We ask for prayers for endurance, patience, and unwavering faith for us. Please keep Stella's Voice in your prayers. Pray for financial breakthroughs and for every single thing that we do to glorify our Father in heaven. Thank you for constantly and continually lifting us up. Your prayers keep us going. We feel that God is with us every step….even in the dark moments…we KNOW He is there. We will be praying for you, all of our friends and family who help make this mission move forward. Without you guys, we would not be here serving God and serving these precious lives. We are thankful and there could never be enough words to truly convey our gratitude. We love you all!
With hears full of gratitude,
Brian and Kathryn Jones
Team Jones in Moldova
To Joey, With Love....WINNER!

This classic hoody been updated with a new fabric finish that gives it a plush feel, heightening the luxuriousness of this style. Part of our matching track set, the refined new hoody bears all the hallmarks of the classic style including a neat, classic fit , rib cuffs and zip closure.
'Loopback' is the technical term given to the fabric traditionally used to make sweatshirts. It's a literal description of the construction of the fabric that features loops on its reverse and is also a reference to the original machine that was used to knit the fabric: the loopwheel.
Having originally been developed for sports garments, the loops on the back of the fabric were designed to absorb sweat from your body, passing it into the garment to keep you cool. Conversely, our loopback fabric is designed to trap warm air inside, providing an insulating layer for day-to-day wear.

Health Insurance: Employees may elect health insurance from a variety of carriers, including fee-for-service plans and health maintenance organization plans. Employees are normally responsible for paying at least one-fourth of the cost of health insurance, and the Federal government pays the remaining cost. Employee contributions for health insurance premiums are made on a pretax basis.
Life Insurance: Employees may elect life insurance benefits. Most employees are automatically covered under basic life insurance, which equals their salary rounded to the next $1,000 plus $2,000. The government pays one-third of the cost of this group term insurance. Employees who elect basic life insurance are also eligible to elect optional insurance at their own expense. Optional life insurance includes additional insurance on the employee's life as well as coverage for the employee's spouse and eligible children.

Dollar for dollar on the first 3% an employee contributes each pay period; and 50 cents on the dollar for the next 2% an employee contributes.
Leave: Federal employees earn 13 days of annual leave during their first three years of Federal service and earn additional annual leave as their tenure with the Federal government increases, up to a maximum of 26 days per year after 15 years of service. Employees also earn 13 days of sick leave each year.
Holidays: Employees are entitled to 10 paid holidays each year.
Transit Subsidy: The transit subsidy program allows employees to be reimbursed for expenses incurred in utilizing public transportation for their daily commute to and from the office.
Training and Tuition Assistance: Through the resources of the Office of Legal Education of the Department of Justice, the agency offers a comprehensive range of courses to assist attorneys and support staff in improving their skills. Most courses are conducted at the National Advocacy Center, a state-of-the-art training facility located in Columbia, South Carolina.

Yes, and moreover the brain gets used to what we are used to listen to. he must reformat himself when youve got new equipment.
It is probably the difference of 1000 watts RMS on the QSC, to the 380 watts rms on the JBl, that is making the difference.
.... its also preferences. Some people like a lot of bass, some people like mellow, etc etc. Many people are also fooled into thinking that bassy equals quality. ...... I personally think that sound quality can get exaggerated. Some people make a bit of a god out of it. Of course there is cheap, tinny, boomy - generally terrible, and none of us want that. But once you get to the level that I think of as 'good enough, clear enough and loud enough' what really matters is what you play, and how well you play. You cant rescue poor performance with better speakers. Mike
