"The White Manor Golf Club presents a difficult test - the golf course is" big" in every sense of the word, long, lots of undulation, and severe. In fact, it may be one of the most difficult courses we compete on all year. That said, we will have to play with a great deal of focus and patience. Looks as though the weather will be a bit better than our opening event - we are looking forward to getting all 54 holes of competition in."The Hoyas will be sending the same five student-athletes who played last weekend at the C&F Bank Intercollegiate, which was limited to just 18 holes.

He was followed by Podufal who carded a four-over 74 and tied for 40th. This will be Loop's sixth competition of the 2012-13 season while Podufal has seen the most action of the season, playing 15 rounds.For Edwards, Tohir and Chapin the Wildcat Invitational will be their sixth competition of the full season as well.Print Friendly Version Players Mentioned Justin Edwards Junior Curtis Loop Junior Raleigh Chapin Junior Greg Podufal Senior Brian Tohir Senior

This morning's walk...
I know I've been neglecting this blog of mine...but I have been busy with my art stuff, too long indoors today my body told me you need to get out of the house...so I did...well after feeding the cat! I made my way down to my usual walking track. It had rained quite a lot these past few months and everything looked and smelled beautiful...one of those overcast warm humid mornings that bring out the scents from the native plants. It was a bit windy but I managed to capture a few shots of some of the flowering plants and a intruding bumble bee with the most amazing coloured pollen sacks!

The bed of our truck was full of childs bicycles, a big tent, camping stuff and the tandem.
Weather was perfect, not too hot and our camping ground was just 100m away from the beach.
Our childs were most interested in playing on the beach and swimming in the waves.
The scale was slightly different from the original and they were washed away after two days, because the "Nile" was on high tide.
We managed to left the car in the parking lot and used the tandem and bicycles instead, to make the way to the nearby market.
Cape Arcona with it's two lighthouses was just 4 or 5km away and thus a nice reason for a bicycle tour.
As you can imagine, we got a lot of positive attention and friendly comments about our tandem.
Cape Arcona
Harbor of Vitt
And these roads with two separated track stripes, which are not a problem for a normal car, were sometimes a little bit tricky to drive with the tandem, because the small rear track is just 5-10cm/2-4inches wider than the grass stripe in between.
It was very difficult to keep both rear wheels on their track stripes.
Our over all distance we had cycled during vacation was just 60km.
Not THAT much, but child friendly.

It will take a serious shot of caffeine to wake from the turkey tryptophan slumber. But hard-core shoppers are willing to endure anything for the thrill of the bargain hunt.
It will take a serious shot of caffeine to wake from the turkey tryptophan slumber. But hard-core shoppers are willing to endure anything for the thrill of the bargain hunt.
"I have not missed Black Friday in 13 years, and it still amazes me. These people are looking for any deal. They've got a plan. They know what they are looking for," said Stroud Mall Specialty Leasing Marketing Director Pat Romansky.
Stroud Mall opens at 5 a.m. Friday, with many stores offering specials to lure the loot finders.
Women in sweatpants and even pajama bottoms tie up their hair, plot their course and sharpen their elbows for the traditional busiest shopping day of the year, Black Friday.
"Part of the Black Friday game plan is to be prepared," said Michele Rothstein, spokesperson for the Crossings Premium Outlets. "Lines will form in front of some stores. You want to make a beeline for the best deals. Download a map. Plan where you are going to park. It is not for the meek. This is power shopping here."
This is the second year the Crossings plans a midnight opening. Last year the place was packed.
"People were thrilled with the deals. Outlet shoppers are bargain hunters by nature," Rothstein said.
Most stores offer free gifts or rock-bottom prices for a limited time.
Premiums — from half-off discounts to a free pair of cotton underpants with purchase — are here-today-gone-tomorrow and while-supplies-last.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An interesting coda to the Original Sinners books. I didn't list this one primarily as erotica because there's very little about it that's erotic. We delve deeper into the minds of Soren and Nora through the agency of Soren's lifelong confessor, a Jesuit he's known since he was 18 and entered the seminary.
The third part is an interview with Ms. Reisz, which will be of interest to her fans. And just for the record, my imaginary Hollywood casting of Soren features a young Rutger Hauer, not a GoT johnny-come-lately. It's my imagination, I can use it as I like.[g]

theres a small graphical glitch when you use Accordance as a german user. When you look for updates the button for daily/weekly/monthly becomes to long probaply and overlays over the upgrade button itself. (the german words täglich/wöchentlich/monatlich are just too long)
And Im not sure but I believe you can't change the size of the update window itself?! So everyone has this small graphical "bug" - so would be nice to get some more pixels for the upgrade window.
Be blessed.

My advice is the same when it comes to essay writing. Think about this: You hire professional plumbers, electricians, mechanics and others that you may need, why not do the same for something as important as this. Some may tell you it isn't a good idea to have someone else write for you, but when you do all of the research, give them the key components and work with them to get your essay complete it isn't their (the essay writer's) work, it's yours.
You can always do your own research and find an essay writer to work with, but can you imagine how much time that will take if you don't already have a recommendation, service or person lined up? Too much time when you're on a tight deadline.
To save you some time, here's an essay service you should look into: Essay-bag.com.
'We are a custom essay writing service, and we are heavily experienced in this field. Everyone on our staff has an advanced degree in his or her respective field.

We believe, as do our thousands of repeat customers, that we simply offer the best available work in the world.

Each and every one of our essays is custom written to your specifications, to the point that neither you nor your professors will be able to detect a difference between your writing and ours. That's probably a good thing, don't you think?'
Although Essay-bag.com was established in Australia, the service is available to everyone at all academic levels. In addition to essay writing, they offer a wide range of services - dissertations, thesis, term papers, and course work. Ordering through Essay Bag is easy.

Hello my dear family!
I hope that everything is going well for you! You are all amazing and I am very fortunate to be a part of this great family! I hope that you enjoyed the General Women's mtg! I thought it was absolutely amazing!!! The spirit was so powerful and it was really cool knowing that even though we were in different places, we were all experiencing the same things:) Thank you for the package that you sent this week! It was wonderful!! Thank you for the letters:) Oh and I got a priesthood blessing last night:) So I am doing much better with everything.:)
So this week was a week of pretty amazing miracles! Let me tell you of a few of them:)
First of all.. Guess what?!?! REBECCA CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY!!!! Sister Fulbright and I almost fell out of our seats as we were standing in the church hallway, and here walks in Rebecca!!! over 30 minutes early!! I am so amazed with her desire to do what's right even though it is really hard for her. She has so much faith! She came to church yesterday, knowing that she was going to get really sick as a result. Whenever we go to teach her, she gets sick because of the scents on us. She is really sensitive and allergic to any scents including chemicals in carpets, deodorant, perfumes, cleaners, etc. So that is a really hard challenge for her. But she is doing amazing and I am so blessed to work with her!
Next, a miracle at the hospital! So we had just finished dinner on Thursday night when we were driving out in our area, going to try some less actives. We were driving by the hospital and I got a strong prompting that we needed to go and visit Sister Jones there, even though we had just been the day prior. So, we went. We went up to her room number and the door was shut. A voice from the other side said "come in!" as we knocked on the door. We opened the door and to our suprise, Sister Jones wasn't the person in the bed.. You can probably imagine our shock:) (Apparently Sister Jones had been released Wednesday night) When we walked into the room, the lady said "Oh sisters! I am so glad that you came!" We talked to her and found out that she was a sister in a different ward, and that she had just had a stroke that day, so she was taken to the hospital. She didn't tell anyone in the ward that she was there, but she was praying all day that someone from the church would come and see her. Kind of ironic right? Praying for someone to come and see you even though no one knew you were there. Well. The Lord works in mysterious ways! She was crying for most of the time because she felt so touched that we came. She said that we were an answer to her prayers and that she could feel that Heavenly Father was aware of her. It was a very humbling experience. It was very neat being led by the Spirit without even realizing that we were. Heavenly Father is aware of us! I know, because He sent 2 strangers across town, to visit His beloved daughter, Sue Quinette.
We went to the zoo today with Sister Cooper!! She is so good to us! It was such an enjoyable experience! The Omaha Zoo is really great! Apparently it is ranked like 2nd in the Nation!
Wish me luck with transfers this week. I am pretty nervous to hear what will happen. But I know that regardless of what happens, I will be where Heavenly Father needs me to be at this time. Thank you for your letters, love, prayers, and support:) They mean so much to me and gives me strength to press forward:) I love you all so much!! Have a wonderful week and enjoy General Conference:) Hopefully you can have your conference ensigns done in time:)
With love,
Sister (Erica) Christensen

Pulled out the old Casio CTK-3000 keyboard today. Watched La-La Land and thanks to it's killer soundtrack, our house has the piano bug again. Opened the box to find the AD-5 AC Adaptor was gone. So I started hunting around for the proper adaptor after looking in the owners manual and a bunch of googling.
Here's the link to where I found it on Amazon after much running around locally here in Calgary Alberta. I called the usual music stores and they could order it in but I thought I might as well order it from amazon if I was going to wait anyway. I needed a USB-C to USB-A cable while I was at it to instal Kodi on my Apple TV.
Plus I can always use another book to read.
Might as well kill multiple birds with one stone.
Adaptor Info
I included a picture of the adaptor up there so you could see the info. You may be able to find an adaptor with the same stats around your house. You never know. You're looking for a center negative, 9V 850 MA adaptor on a 120v source.
Why Not Buy A Universal Adaptor?
That's what I thought. I went to Canadian tire thinking that if I got a universal adaptor I could cover all my adaptor needs instead of just getting the AD-5 Ac Adaptor for solely the keyboard.
What I didn't know is that a lot of adapters have a positive center pole. This includes the universal adaptors. Guess what the AD-5 Ac Adaptor you need for Casio Keyboards has?
Yup. A negative center pole.
I Bought A No Name Casio AD-5 Power Adaptor
Why did I go no-name? If I ordered in the Casio one to a local store it would cost me $43 plus gas. If I ordered it from Casio On Amazon it cost $59. The no-name one cost $11 Canadian and had all 5 star reviews.
I'll let you know how it all works out when the order arrives.

The RoboSHOT 12 USB PTZ Conferencing Camera from Vaddio is an enterprise class camera supporting simultaneous USB 3.0 and IP streaming (H.264) capabilities with HDMI video output functionality. The included lens is a multi-element, glass lens featuring a 12x optical zoom with a 73° wide horizontal field of view.
The Tri-Synchronous Motion algorithm is capable of moving all three axes (pan, tilt, and zoom) simultaneously. The algorithm calculates the position and velocity of the smooth, direct-drive motor movements between the presets so that the pan, tilt, and zoom arrive at the preset subject simultaneously. This allows for smooth and manageable on-air camera movements.
The RoboSHOT 12 USB has a PoE+ GB Ethernet port. Its built-in web server allows the user to power the camera and control its functions with an internal web page on any browser from anywhere in the world, over the IP network, while watching the RTSP format video stream with H.264 compression. This feature is suitable for remote management, network operating centers, and overall IT control. Telnet, IR remote, and RS-232 control for the camera are available to meet major system control requirements.
The RoboSHOT 12 is suitable for small to medium-sized conference rooms, training rooms, or classrooms and provides support for applications, especially in UC conferencing, videoconferencing, distance learning, lecture capture, and tele presence.

Exploring Cancun (Cancún)
Hallo, I'm a german guy from Berlin who planned a trip to Cancun with a friend but got ditched. So now I'm on my own. I've heard that Cancun in September is a little bit quiet so I'm asking myself if I should still go. I was very looking for to see Cancun and it's beautiful area, but I think it might be also very depressing to be there all by myself. I would be happy to get some inside information and some tips from locals so I could decide whether I should come or not.
Hope to hear from some of you.

Enjoy these photos (again, from Harper's Bazaar) to help start your weekend :)

I'm really sorry to hear that. My condolences to his family and friends. He showed me things I never thought of and opened my eyes to an entirely new way to look at our world. He will be missed. Rest in Peace, and I hope now you may find the answers you were looking for.

I am so sorry…..I am devastated. Please know if you are ever in the Las Vegas area, mi casa tu casa. I can't believe my buddy is gone–he was just getting going and had such a passion for his work and theory….I can't even express how crazy this makes me. What a LOSS!!! Take care of yourself! My contact email is email@example.com..this is D in Las Vegas….

You are never forgotten Michael for your lifetime of work and vision. You are a great man , scientist and true visionary for future generations to see and hopefully learn from. You have brought true meaning to explain our land masses all across our Earth.
RIP my friend you are never forgotten….
doctorofart says:
I am so sorry to hear this. I had just been introduced to Michaels work recently and was looking forward to meeting him and going on a tour. He seems like a man with a lot of passion and very open minded. It saddens me that I did not have the pleasure of meeting him in person. Thank you Andreas for continuing his work.
RogerOz says:
I will miss you Michael. I will especially miss our phone conversations and discussions of Electric Universe Geology topics. And seeing you at the Electric Universe conferences. I really enjoyed the two EU Geology tours that I took with you and Andreas. Seeing petroglyphs, basalt caps, Shiprock Peak, a Navajo holy site, and hogback hills with you fed my imagination. Your ideas about sedimentary depositions from space above intrigued me. Last month I was able to visit Smith Rock State Park and Cove Palisades State Park in Oregon. I enjoyed seeing the black rocks on one side of the Smith Rock canyon and red rocks on the opposite side. I saw the hexagonal columns of basalt at Cove Palisades. At both places I could sense your kind, generous, and enthusiastic spirit. Rest in Peace my friend.

Christmas Gift Tin and Magnets
Today's gift to you is something I make all the time. I love giving gifts to special friends and family and this one goes over very well. You can adapt them to any occasion, I made one for my son the Chef using kitchen items inside the magnet (bread, rolling pin) sometimes I have to search for the pictures, but that makes it even more special. What you can put in them is limitless.
Let's get started this is what you will be making; since of the time involved I thought what a great weekend project!!
Supplies needed to do this project:
Card stock: Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Glimmer Paper (Silver)
Designer paper Be of Good Cheer (from the 2012-2013 Catalog)
Punches 2 3/8" Scallop circle, 1 3/8" circle, 1 3/4" circle, 1" circle and large eyelet
Ribbon: Gumball Green Satin Stitched
Stamp Set: Delightful Decorations (retired) or Petite Pairs
Stamp Pad Cherry Cobbler
Accessories Bottle Caps, magnets, tin, Crystal Effects, snail adhesive and for added
Bling I added some Stampin Up Rhinestones!!
Assemble your supplies:
Assemble each magnet, card stock, designer series paper, or anything you stamp that you want to use for your base layer. I used the Silver Shimmer card stock using my 1 inch circle punch.
Then I adhered the Silver pieces into the bottle cap with Adhesive or Sticky Strip just to hold it in place. (Note: It is important that the piece is secure because when the Crystal Effects is poured in, the piece will "float" otherwise.)
Next I stamped some cute Christmas ideas on Very Vanilla card stock, so I can pick the one for the next layer. I also punched 1 inch circles out of the designer paper I used and cut them in half to off set so much sparkle from the silver.
Pour Crystal Effects into the bottle cap on top of the image as shown in the photo below.
The next photo shows you how they will look after you have added the Crystal Effects, they will look cloudy.
Allow the pieces to dry over night or until it's beginning to appear clear. Then apply a Rhinestone to the piece. Literally "drop" it onto the Crystal Effects so that it doesn't sink or get covered up by the liquid. (After you have put Rhinestone in allow the bottle caps to dry at least overnight and be sure that they are placed on a level surface so the liquid dries evenly).
They should be clear and sparkly like my picture below.
Inside Directions:
Cut the strips of card stock and Designer Series Paper to go inside the tin. Bottom layer is 5-1/4 x 3-1/2, then I rounded the edges of the bottom piece and glued it to the bottom of my tin.
Next for the next layer I used the reverse side of the DSP and cut it 5-1/4 x 1-1/4. Then I took 1 inch piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock and ran it through the eyelet border punch for each side. Then I adhered the pieces together.
Here is what your tin should like when done.
To make the tag, take a piece of the gumball green card stock and using the 2 3/8 in scallop circle punch for the bottom layer, then out of cherry cobbler card stock using the 1 ¾ inch circle punch for the 2nd layer and for the third layer use a piece of designer series paper that matches the ones inside of tin and punch out a circle for your message using the 1 3/8 inch circle punch.
Once bottle caps are completely dry on the inside, turn over and add magnet I use Crystal Effects it works the best for this but be sure to let it dry completely once again. You can use any adhesive you like as long as it is completely dry.
After the magnets are dry, put the magnets inside and line up on strip. They will stick to the bottom of the tin. Here is an example below.
Then close lid, flip the tin over and it is time to add the belly band and then flip back glue together (I used red sticky tape) to make a stronger hold. Then you can attach the tag.
I added my ribbon bow and that completes this project.
I hope you enjoyed your stop today and let me know what you think. I enjoy reading each comment.
Don't forget to come back on Monday for another project. If you would like more information email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Pelvic congestion syndrome is a condition that causes chronic pelvic pain. It is thought to be caused by problems with the veins in the pelvic area. This is the lower part of your belly (abdomen).
Veins are the blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart. In some women, veins in the lower abdomen may stop working well. Blood may start to build up inside the veins. When this happens, the veins in your pelvis can enlarge and change shape, like varicose veins. This may lead to the pain and other symptoms of pelvic congestion syndrome.
It happens mostly in women of childbearing age. It may be more common in women who have given birth to more than one child.
Doctors are trying to understand the possible causes of pelvic congestion syndrome. Enlarged veins in the pelvis seem to play a major role. But many women have enlarged veins and no symptoms. Pregnancy may increase the risk of pelvic congestion syndrome. This is because veins enlarge during pregnancy to support the increased blood flow. This can permanently enlarge the veins and lead to symptoms.
Hormones may also play a role in pelvic congestion syndrome. Estrogen makes veins wider (dilates). This may be why the condition is not common after menopause. Estrogen levels are lower after menopause. Other hormones may also cause veins to grow wider and cause symptoms.
You may have a higher risk for pelvic congestion syndrome if you have given birth to more than one child. You may also have a higher risk if other members of your family have it.
The main symptom of pelvic congestion syndrome is pelvic pain that lasts at least 6 months. This pain often first starts during or after a pregnancy. It may worsen after a later pregnancy. The pain may be a heavy or aching feeling. Or the pain may be sharp. Usually the pain is only on one side, usually the left side. At times you may feel it on both sides. The pain is often worse at the end of the day.
Certain factors may make the pain worse, such as:
Some women also have symptoms such as:
Pelvic congestion syndrome is not easy to diagnose. Pelvic pain is common and there are many different causes. Pelvic pain can result from problems with the reproductive system, like your ovaries and uterus. It can be caused by the urinary system, like your bladder. It can be caused by the gastrointestinal system, such as your large intestine. And it can be caused by muscles or bones. Mental health conditions, such as depression, are also linked to chronic pelvic pain. Your healthcare provider will need to consider many possible causes before diagnosing the condition.
Your healthcare provider or an ob-gyn doctor may diagnose the condition. He or she will ask about your medical history and your symptoms. You will also have a physical exam. This will likely include a pelvic exam.
You may also need some tests, such as:
Your healthcare provider can tailor your treatment according to your symptoms. Possible treatment options include:
Your healthcare provider may suggest starting medicines. If these do not relieve your symptoms, your healthcare provider may advise a procedure to treat the condition. Your symptoms may ease up as you enter menopause.
If your symptoms get worse, plan to see your healthcare provider soon. Pelvic congestion syndrome itself does not usually lead to a medical emergency. If you have a sharp, sudden pain that doesn't go away, see your healthcare provider right away.
Pelvic congestion syndrome is a medical condition that causes chronic pelvic pain. The condition is thought to be due to problems with the veins in your pelvic area. Over time, these veins can become damaged and enlarged. This can cause blood to pool in the veins, leading to the symptoms of the condition.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:

This is really quite dismaying - and I can only imagine the discussions that must have gone on at TRADOS when they clearly suborned this restriction in their XML parser. It would have been far cleaner from an XML standpoint to have translated soft hyphens into a tag - but that would have made the editing experience far less clean. So they were stuck.
And now, I am too - I have to preprocess all TTX before passing it through the XML parser, which is a performance hit (which doesn't bother me too much) - but far worse, non-preprocessed TTX will infect the TM, so if I now make changes to the sanitized file and write it back out, it won't match the TM. This would be OK if we could be sure of sanitization before the TM were affected, but that's clearly too much to hope for in most real-world agency/freelancer workflows.
It's also rather nasty that TMX dumps from an infected TM will also contain 0x1F characters - meaning non-TRADOS tools won't be able to parse those, either. And they are supposed to be interoperable.
I think as a matter of policy I'm just going to sanitize and not worry overmuch about the rather small operability hit - at least until some actual project requires me to worry about it. Then I'll cross that bridge.

Hey I ave finally got the garlic in the ground! Whoooo hooooo! Although having had a chesty cough and three days off work last week, it was looking dicey for this weekend too! However like a good girl I got up, packed my lottie bag, guilt tripped Mr B into coming with me an off we set.
I used the top bed for this as I have not had onions in it before and it will be nearly a whole section of the allotment planted up! I have varieties messidrome, germidor, edenrose, chesnok red and elephant garlic. I can't remember off the top of my head in which order though I did do a nifty little diagram! Beside that I do have three rows of eschallot grise, apparently a prized ingredient (excellent marketing which I fell for!) and then only two of electric red onions. This was all I could fit in as a) I haven't dug enough and b) the ground which was slightly uncovered at this edge and was frozen. I reckon there are about as many again which I didn't get to plant so I will come back to these in the spring perhaps....
And as for broad beans.... sigh ... not done. I have a vague entertainment of starting them off at home in loo rolls and then when the ground is soft again in spring putting the little plantlets in the ground like that. So the advantage of growing them early in to non frozen compost and hopefully and early harvest to combat the greenfly... I shall think on it. I may have some free time on Tuesday.
Having my pre Xmas haircut tonight (have had a bit of a hair disaster vis a vis colouring and over straightening and now some of the ends break!) and then Weds running club if I'm fit enough and Thursday Choir is singing in Marlow... Just have to learn my solo for "all over the world" by ELO. Oh yes a solo and this time by clever choosing I don't have to share! YAY! Mine all MINE!
Anyway back to the allotment, I got the planting done and Mr B took down the beans and the poles and helped me re-spread the tarpaulin over a bit lower down the plot. Looks much neater and ready for the long winter. I doubt I will get anything else done until its chilli time next year.... apart from the broad beans that is.... eventually :o)
Hope you're all well and Chat again soon X
Ciao for now !!!

The Java programming language also provides operators that perform bitwise and bit shift operations on integral types. The operators discussed in this section are less commonly used. Therefore, their coverage is brief; the intent is to simply make you aware that these operators exist.
The unary bitwise complement operator "~" inverts a bit pattern; it can be applied to any of the integral types, making every "0" a "1" and every "1" a "0". For example, a byte contains 8 bits; applying this operator to a value whose bit pattern is "00000000" would change its pattern to "11111111".
The signed left shift operator "<<" shifts a bit pattern to the left, and the signed right shift operator ">>" shifts a bit pattern to the right. The bit pattern is given by the left-hand operand, and the number of positions to shift by the right-hand operand. The unsigned right shift operator ">>>" shifts a zero into the leftmost position, while the leftmost position after ">>" depends on sign extension.
The bitwise & operator performs a bitwise AND operation.
The bitwise ^ operator performs a bitwise exclusive OR operation.
The bitwise | operator performs a bitwise inclusive OR operation.
The following program, BitDemo, uses the bitwise AND operator to print the number "2" to standard output.
class BitDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int bitmask = 0x000F;
int val = 0x2222;
// prints "2"
System.out.println(val & bitmask);
The following quick reference summarizes the operators supported by the Java programming language.
Simple Assignment Operator
= Simple assignment operator
Arithmetic Operators
+ Additive operator (also used
for String concatenation)
- Subtraction operator
* Multiplication operator
/ Division operator
% Remainder operator
Unary Operators

President Repeats First-Term Answers to Rising Gas Prices
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
Soaring gasoline prices spilled over into Washington and the presidential race yesterday, as Congress moved toward a showdown with President Bush over legislation aimed at forcing oil companies to help ease the burden on consumers.
Bush, reaching back to the earliest days of his administration, resurrected GOP demands for new drilling in the Alaska wilderness, fewer restrictions on oil refineries and other measures aimed at lowering fuel prices through higher production.
Democratic leaders shot back that Bush is out of touch with struggling Americans, as he pours money into the Iraq war at the expense of domestic priorities. Senate leaders promised to unveil gasoline price legislation by week's end.
Two oil giants, BP and Royal Dutch Shell, announced record profits yesterday totaling $17 billion in the first three months of the year. Exxon Mobil is expected to smash its own previous records for quarterly corporate profits tomorrow. Average gasoline prices, meanwhile, have surged to a new high of $3.60 per gallon.
On the presidential campaign trail, GOP candidate John McCain (Ariz.) and Democratic hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) have both backed the idea of a summer tax holiday for gasoline and diesel. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) denounced the idea as a political gimmick that would cost thousands of jobs and save drivers $28 at most.
Bush declined to take a position on the concept of a gas tax holiday, saying he was "open to any ideas" to deal with rising fuel prices. But in a news conference in the Rose Garden, he focused on controversial, longer-term proposals aimed at loosening environmental or regulatory restrictions on domestic oil exploration and production, and he also advocated building additional nuclear plants.
"If there was a magic wand to wave," Bush said, "I'd be waving it, of course. . . . But there is no magic wand to wave right now. It took us a while to get to this fix."
Although oil-related proposals were at the center of his remarks, Bush also offered a broader critique of congressional inaction, arguing that Democrats have worsened the nation's economic problems by opposing his housing reforms, a Colombia free-trade agreement and other proposals.
Many of Bush's oil-related proposals date back to his first term, however, and failed to gain traction even when Congress was under GOP control. His remarks underscored his difficult political predicament, as he is hobbled by dismal approval ratings and overshadowed by a lively presidential campaign.
Indeed, many lawmakers signaled yesterday that they would pay little heed to the president's criticisms, particularly on oil. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said that "people don't have time for finger-pointing from the White House right now.
"They have listened to this president for eight years, for eight years that these gas prices have gone up and up and up, for eight years after these oil prices have gone up and up and up, and they want answers," Klobuchar said.
In some respects, the parties' responses to rising oil prices have become a rite of spring. Prices at the pump surge as energy companies switch from winter gasoline blends to summer blends, creating shortages of refinery capacity. Democrats reproach oil companies for "price gouging" and call for federal investigations and windfall profit taxes. Republicans call for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and outer continental shelf, off the Gulf and Pacific coasts. Both parties blame the other.

Thailand's 15th faultline discovered in Nakhon Nayok
national July 06, 2012 00:00

A new faultline, caused by a previous earthquake, was found in Nakhon Nayok province and could be considered the country's 15th active faultline, a seminar of geological professionals and related agencies was told yesterday.
Songpop Polchan, president of the Geological Society of Thailand, said they were planning to propose that the earthquake map be reviewed to cover tambonlevel risk areas so people can be better prepared and can build structures that are better able to cope with tremors.
The proposal, along with a fivepoint recommendation, will be submitted to the government in two weeks, he said.
As seen from natural disasters over the past four months, including the 4Ritcher quake in Phuket where 400 homes were affected, people start panicking because Thailand still lacks a proper disasterwarning system and the public lacked sufficient knowledge, he said. Hence, the experts decided that PM Yingluck Shinawatra and related agencies are given a fivepoint guideline to mitigate earthquake impacts.
Firstly, the Mineral Resources Department's (MRD) map of risky zones based on the 14 faultlines going through 22 provinces only provided provinciallevel data, not information about how much risk villages or tambons were facing. Hence studies should be conducted to clarify this issue so proper criteria can be set for constructing buildings and installing a disasterwarning device.
Secondly, companies conducting Environmental Impact Assessment studies for the government's antiseismic infrastructure should include a certified geologist.
Thirdly, though the Interior Ministry's regulation for new buildings in risky provinces required that they be strong enough to withstand earthquakes, most old buildings were not built to survive seismic activity, hence the government should provide funding to strengthen hospitals, schools and health centres.
Fourthly, the MRD should educate communities and local administration bodies, as well as provide them with earthquaketackling guidelines. Lastly, the Education Ministry should include an earthquake drill and basic information in primary and secondary school curricula, he added.
Geologist Lerdsin Raksasakulwong said the MRD had been studying the Nakhon Nayok faultline, which meets with the Mae Ping faultline at Nakhon Nayok's Ban Na and Ongkharak districts as well as at Sa Kaew province.
This faultline could cause some serious damage in case of a major earthquake because it lies near Ayuttahya, Saraburi, Uthai Thani, Lop Buri and Bangkok, he said. He added that geologists had also found some torn layers of sediment indicating a previous movement hence samples were being collected to determine when that quake occurred so future tremors can be predicted.
Lerdsin went on to say that the MRD had made a list of atrisk villages and installed tremordetecting devices along active faultlines, though residents still had to be properly educated.
"Most deaths during earthquakes result from buildings collapsing onto people," he said.
He explained that since most houses were halfwood, halfconcrete structures with nonflexible concrete beams and ceilings, people living in atrisk areas needed to adjust their houses and use flexible materials such as bamboo. He said people living along the Mae Chan and Mae Ing faultlines in the North and those living along the Khlong Marui and Ranong faultlines in the South should be the first group to be informed.

Marialena Marouda works in the fields of performance art and choreography. She studied philosophy and visual arts at Columbia University in New York, USA and continued her studies at the Institute for Applied Theater Studies at the University of Giessen, Germany. She is currently developing her research project Oceanographies in the framework of the artistic research plattform advanced performance and scenography studies (a.pass) in Brussels, Belgium. Her most recent creation, Poetry Exercises: an archive of (un)familiar things, had its premiere in the Frankfurt City Archive in October 2016. In September 2017 it was invited to the International Performing Arts Festival in Terni, Italy. Other works include the Dictionary of invisible work (2016) which she initiated and authored in collaboration with Heike Bröckerhoff, Milka Ivanovska and Jasmina Zaloznik, Poetry Exercises (2014), Walking in the city: on the poetics of space (2013) and Walking Exercises (2011-2013).
Marouda participated in the first cycle of the program Critical Practice (Made in Yu) (2014-15), the goal of which is to intensify the discourse around performing arts practices and the conditions of their production. During and after her studies, she also participated with her work in the projects Entropic Institute (2012) and Anarchiv I (2008) by Deufert & Plischke, Garden State by MAMAZA (2014) and in the Walking Festival Zusammenkommen. Zusammen Gehen curated by Martin Nachbar (2013) among others.
Artist's statement
Marouda is interested in performance as a tool for attaining and for sharing an embodied knowledge about the world. Her performance practice focuses primarily on relating to and on inhabiting spaces. The experimentation with walking, listening and storytelling as relational social and spatial practices forms the basis of her work.
Site-specific formats that exit the theater(s) and enter the public space(s) are increasingly relevant for her. The nomad Archive of (un)familiar things, for example, is presented within different city archives. The aim of the work is to propose an alternative, possibly "minor", history of the city, and to enter into dialog with a city's institutionalized memory. Or again, the Dictionary of invisible work, made up of definitions of invisible professional activities, is indeed a small book that circulates out in the open, inviting its readers to contribute to it. Essentially, Marouda's interest lies in collecting experiences of inhabiting spaces into a multiplicity, organizing them, and sharing them with the visitors-participants. In this sense the performance space becomes an archive, a space where the visitor can linger and engage with the work in her own time.

Romney pushes economic message in Ohio
Coming off crucial victories in Arizona and Michigan, Mitt Romney swung his attention Wednesday to the crucial swing state of Ohio, where he largely ignored his opponents and instead focused his criticisms on China and America's economic leadership.
"Well it was a big night last night for me," he crowed to 100 people at an American Posts factory in Toledo. "And interestingly, the people who said the economy and jobs were their number one issue, they voted for me overwhelmingly."
Speaking with voters at two events across the state, the former Massachusetts governor stayed on point, positioning himself as the only candidate qualified to fix the economy, and pounding the president for his "failed" policies.
"For two years, he put in place his plans and looked at us. We're still three years later, in an economy that's bumping along the bottom," Romney said about President Obama inheriting a supermajority in Congress. "For me this is all about more jobs, less debt, and smaller government."
But conscious of where he was, Mr. Romney addressed the issue of trade, an important issue for blue collar workers he'll need to attract in order to win Ohio. On the decrease in manufacturing across the country, he blamed China for not playing by the rules of free trade.
"I like trade. I like being able to sell goods around the world," Romney said while speaking to employees at American Posts, a steel post manufacturer based in Toledo. "But now and then people we compete with cheat, and they send products in here in a way that's not fair."
Arguably the most important of the upcoming "Super Tuesday" states that vote March 7, Ohio was once a key part of America's manufacturing belt. Over the years, increased competition and cheaper labor elsewhere forced many companies to either close shop or shift production overseas, resulting in hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs lost in just the last decade. And the resentment of watching these jobs disappear remains high here, making attacking manufacturing powerhouses like China appealing.
"How does that happen? How is it China's been so successful in taking away our jobs? Well let me tell you how: by cheating," Mr. Romney said accusing China of stealing American intellectual property and manipulating their currency to make exports artificially cheap.
He then turned his fire on President Obama saying, "This president has just sat idly by and watched that happen. Oh he complains, he says he would take them to the mat. But they've walked all over him."

Gnawing Things About the House: Rat-Trap (Adoor Gopalakrishnan, 1981)
(written for a MovieMail podcast in 2008)
'Watch a rat being trapped,' Sridevi tells her older sister in a line that serves for the film as a whole. Her brother Unni has apparently been bitten by a rat, though as there is no mark on him, we infer the rodents are in his dreams as well as scuttling around the house. The following morning, Sridevi fetches the large wooden trap down from the attic, removes the cobwebs, greases it and primes it with a tasty bite of coconut.
Rat-Trap takes place wholly in and surrounding a landlord's house in Kerala. The house belongs to another age, as does the 'young master' Unni, the lazy, taciturn brother and sole surviving heir of a decaying feudal family surviving on the increasingly meagre resources of its estate produce. His older sister Rajamma waits on him hand and foot, supplying him with food and hot water; Sridevi, the younger, is studying at school and is drawn only reluctantly into his service. Barring occasional incursions into the courtyard with produce from the estate, the house is isolated. Within the house too, siblings have little meaningful contact with each other, leaving each in their own world – of ennui, of servitude, of study. Dialogue is spare and details accrue through the character's carefully rendered surroundings and personal effects. Matching her role as the servant of the house, Rajamma is often shown framed and partially obscured by doorways, dependent on others for her position; she is rooted there and her removal will require force. Sridevi however has claimed a passageway to and from the compound through her visits to school. Rajamma's blue clothing of submissiveness is conrasted with Sridevi's red of ambition.
Unni's movements in the film are ever inwards. He is sunk in introspection, entirely self-absorbed. As the days go by, he withdraws completely from meaningful relations with others. As his world contracts from village (in one of the very first scenes we see him dressed to go to a wedding, only for him to hesitate at a large puddle that spans the road, then turn back), to estate, to chair on the veranda, to inside the house, to his bed, his listlessness sours to psychosis and he becomes an unshaven, sweating, red-eyed, frightened wreckage of a man.
The film's situation brings to mind Ibsen's play Little Eyolf ('Are your worships troubled with any gnawing things about the house?' says the visiting Rat-Wife in that play, giving tangible form to the household's unspoken darkness.) In Rat-Trap the house is certainly troubled with gnawing things. After rats shred Unni's carefully-ironed shirt, Rajamma suggests using poison on them all but realises that then the dead rodents would lie stinking in the walls or under the floorboards. Throughout the film characters are shown with scent or talcum powder, as if trying to cover up just such a rotten smell in the house. It is as if the rats have already been poisoned, but the stench, coming instead from familial decay, is pervasive and lingers. Likewise, when characters disappear from the film their space is retained. The screen is haunted by their absence.
The haunting musical theme is an aural equivalent to this smell of decomposition. Consisting of five descending bowed notes against a discomfiting drone, it was deliberately designed to be un-hummable and incomplete, suggesting disintegration and falling. Punctuated by sound effects – the creaking of the attic trapdoor and the rat cage door, the clanking of the lid of an iron, the discordant, jarring strikes of sound that accompany Sridevi's trips to the pond with the contents of the trap – adds to the sense of menace and unease in the film that we get from the uncertain, ill-defined relationships between people. At the centre of it all is Unni, bloated from keeping everything for himself.
Unease also comes from the way in which, right from the film's opening credits, details of objects and textures of the house – keys, a clock, a chipped storage jar, a split wooden roof boss – are delineated with a near-hallucinatory clarity that gives us the impression our minds have already been disoriented by Kerala's punishing heat.

Today, I Shall Celebrate
1 comment:
Thank you for this...Im so glad that you found your proper path where the "home" issue is concerned. I am doing really well with lots of complex decisions but I know it will be hard to decide when to leave "our" home.ReplyDelete
For a long time, this house symbolized things about my husband that I found aggravating. The 18 months before he bought it, he was living elsewhere having gone off into a very emotionally violent midlife crisis. The kids and I stayed in our former home and waited for his darkness to dissipate and him to return but when he did, he didnt just come home, NOOOOOOO, he bought a huge house a few miles away (having pretty much made the decision on his own) and for about 2 months we flirted with financial disaster with 4 mortgages had anything untoward happened. To stay afloat, I had to ready the old house for sale and sell it myself, which I did, alone which is how I did most things in the wake of his crisis.
18 months later, a job change was necessary and rather then get a job he decided to start a business but we had 2 kids in college and my income couldnt touch our expenses...I told him "I would have been fine with EITHER thing you wanted a big house or starting a business, but you cant have both!" The house nearly sunk us during that time but he did make it work (likely out of sheer terror of proving me right), but the house felt like a liability.
Within the 2 years before he died, our adult sons had to return home and one brought his little family with him ...it was good that we had enough space for everyone to live. While is it true that we flirted with financial doom to buy this house, it all worked out fine and he had the satisfaction of having bought a "dream house" for his family...I had no idea he would die so young and all the time I assumed we had in the future to accomplish these kinds of goals disappeared in an instant. It is really nice that now my house symbolizes for me things about my husband that were good...THAT is his legacy (not the bad stuff) but you are right that no house holds my memories, my heart does.
Assuming my kids do launch at some point, I wont need a 6 bedroom house for myself...I do hope that time to move on is clear to me and I know that it is the right thing to do. In my head, I have sold it and not sold it a hundred times...I need to chill out and just BE for a while.

FWD/Forward is all about the intersection between feminism and disability issues, so it's worth talking about why I think (know) disability is a feminist issue. I'll note that this post is not intended to be a comprehensive review, nor is it intended to be the final word on the matter. It's just a brief primer. Also, fair warning, I'm a bit jived on asthma medication right now, so this post is a bit slangier and more sarcastic than my usual oeuvre.
The short version of the reason that disability is a feminist issue is that some people with disabilities are women. I know, shocking! But I'm here to tell you that it's true. And I don't speak from purely anecdotal evidence. According to the Centers for Disease Control*, approximately one in five American women is living with a disability. So, people, science says that some people with disabilities are also women.
So, if you identify as a feminist, presumably you are doing so because you care about women and issues which affect women. If an issue affects one in five women, it's probably something which you should care about.
But, there's more!
Did you know that women with disabilities are up to twice as likely to be victims of sexual assault and violence? Those certainly seem like feminist issues to me, so it seems worth examining why one in five women is at a higher risk of experiencing violence.
Did you know that people with disabilities are also twice as likely to experience poverty and unemployment? Poverty and unemployment are also considered feminist issues by many feminists, in no small part because they tend to disproportionately affect women. So, if you have conditions which already disproportionately affect women involving some women more than others, again, it seems worth exploring the causality behind that.
Did you know that the wage gap is also more severe for people with disabilities? The wage gap is often identified as a key feminist issue; it's the thing that a lot of non-feminists think about when they hear the word "feminism." Again, if you have a problem which is recognized as an issue which affects women and you find out that women women experience that problem at an even higher rate than ordinary women, isn't that a feminist issue?
This is called intersectionality, people. It's the idea that overlapping and interconnecting systems of oppression are involved pretty much anywhere you feel like looking. Now, every single feminist in the entire world does not need to address every single overlapping system of oppression which touches women. But every single feminist in the entire world does have an obligation to make sure that deliberate harm is not inflicted by ignoring intersectionality. That means that if the focus of your feminism is, say, sex positivity, you need to think about sex positivity beyond pretty white straight cis people without disabilities. Because, if you don't, there's a chance that you, yes, you, are hurting people with your feminism. And not just people in general, but other women!
And, I would like to point out that this is an argument so simple that even my father, who is the most un-hip person you can imagine, who scratches his head when he hears the words "intersectional feminism," gets it. So if my dad can get it, you can get it, seeing as you are presumably interested in feminism and disability issues, since you're reading this site, which means you're already ahead of my father.
*Have you ever wondered why it's called the "Centers for Disease Control," instead of the "Center for Disease Control"? It's because it's the "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention," which is somehow magically acronymed into CDC. Who knows where the P went!

The rep educated me that a supervisor wasn't offered Which I would need to watch for a phone contact later on the day. At this time, it had been six:30pm And that i stated to him detail for element my experience that working day with consumer service and consumer assistance. Following sharing my aggravation, it honestly felt like he did not care and ongoing to inform me that I couldn't speak to a supervisor as they had been unavailable. As being a "valued" client, I feel I've acquired my suitable to talk into a supervisor just after handling the working day I skilled. I only asked to talk to a person who could give me a far better clarification of my scenario. I understand that the decision volume was "really high" however, if a "valued client" is unhappy with your organization, it's common curtesy that you do something as part of your electrical power to maintain The client satisfied. The gentlemen then told me that he reviewed his notes and it demonstrates that a supervisor in fact named me hours in the past in a number on my file although the amount was outside of service. I asked the gentleman to study that range again to me and he content repeated the variety to my cellphone that I was calling him from. Last but not least after 30mins of pleading to speak to a supervisor, a contact arrived in on the opposite line and it had been THE SUPERVISOR. She was Definitely no help in anyway and stated the department which i essentially needed was closed. She explained I must wait until Monday (dept closed on Sunday) to speak to someone to help click for source me with my subject. No apologies, no help, no path no absolutely nothing. General, this was one of the poorest shopper service working experience I have at any time handled. I had been inconvenienced by wasting four several hours of my day awaiting a technician that under no circumstances arrived, One more two hrs coping with a rep that instructed me I was a liar and dealt with a supervisor who had a Terrible Frame of mind and confirmed no sympathy for me at all. The specific situation in its entirety still makes no sense. You chop my cable off at my previous home the working day prior to my envisioned installation date but I'm becoming instructed I as a substitute set the appointment out five times from that cutoff working day? So now, I have no cable service in my household for four times on a vacation weekend the place I have family members traveling into town. Steven Faass

FredrikW brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 221 Designs von 72 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Personality and credibility -- this logo should speak to both corporate executives and people working hands-on with the creation of web and intranet content.
[EDIT] Many great submissions, almost all building on a W. As I wrote in the original brief the graphical expression could include the letter W but doesn't necessarily have to. I would like to see ideas without the W, perhaps focusing on the core of the web (connections, network, links etc.)
All ideas submitted so far - also those including a W - are certainly still contenders, in some cases very strong contenders.
A small web strategy consultancy - called Webbrådgivaren - working with both major global corporations and small public sector organisations. Based in Sweden. The company is focusing on web and intranet content, including social media.
The logo should signal creativity, personality, engagement as well as seriousness and credibility.
- The company name WEBBRÅDGIVAREN (capitalized or not doesn't matter) must be included.

What would you think if you got a phone call from the US Government at 5:03am on a Wednesday Morning?
Lots of things ran through my head...
Did I mess up our taxes??
Do I have a traffic ticket I forgot about??
Is someone I know in jail??
Did someone report me for ripping that tag off my mattress??
I was at a loss...
Luckily, it was just the Postmaster from the Post Office, telling me I had a package... .
A very noisy package.
Would I please come get it?...
Right NOW?!
Otis the Boston Terrier was intrigued.
He was suspicious of the noisy box.
He inspected it the second we brought it into the house.
Guss the Pug puppy has never seen day-old chicks and ducklings..
He thought they looked tasty.
hmmm we'll have to work on that.
Yep... that's 63 new additions to our family this week alone!
Busy & interesting times folks....
