Calumet Co. widow shares message on Highway Work Zone Awareness Week
HARRISON (WLUK) -- As orange barrels re-appear along area roadways, it's "Highway Work Zone Awareness" week.
It's a reminder for drivers to pay attention.
A memorial sits on Highway 114 in Harrison. It serves as a stark reminder for the lost life of Calumet County Highway worker, Derick Burkhalter.
"My husband wasn't just a statistic," said Karen Burkhalter. "He was an important member of our family and our community and of his work."
Burkhalter told FOX 11, her husband died nearly 3 years ago on the job. Since then, her pain has turned into a purpose.
"One of the things I'm doing this week is I'm going to Washington D.C.," explained Burkhalter.
Burkhalter and others will be sharing their stories for lawmakers Wednesday.
"So when a hearing comes up and a bill comes up, they'll have a face because we've been forever affected," said Burkhalter.
Sgt. Tim McGrath with the State Patrol said sheriff deputies, police officers and state troopers teamed up Monday to enforce speed limits and other traffic laws.
"Our goal is not to issue citations; we really want our motoring public traveling construction zones to be safe, and also we want the construction zone workers out there making the roads better for all of us to be safe," Sgt. McGrath told FOX 11.
The DOT reported 76 work zone crashes in 2014. Last year, crashes spiked to 234.
McGrath said distracted drivers and aggressive drivers are key causes of crashes in work zones.
"By aggressive driving, I'm talking about speeding, excessive lane changing, cutting off other motorists. I'm talking about following too closely, tailgating, a lot of those things are aggressive driving," MGrath explained.
McGrath said drivers need to relax, slow down and be attentive.
It's reminders Burkhalter hopes everyone takes seriously.
"Our loved one deserves to come home at the end of the day," said Burkhalter.
Statewide, there have been more than 2,000 work zone crashes, each of the past 3 years.

Over the past 8 years in the SEO industry, I have experienced many ups and downs just like you... Until I discover this money converter kit.
score %
Found us from search engine?
We rank high, you can too.
SEOPressor helps you to optimize your on-page SEO for higher & improved search ranking.
When you start to build website in the beginning, the only thing you needed to worry about when you were trying to get your website to appear in search engine results was whether or not you'd submitted it to a search engine.
Something that you've likely not given a great deal of thought to, however, is whether or not your domain might be incurring penalties from Google or other search engines.
Your page rank could be suffering not because you've failed to dot the i's and cross the t's with your SEO efforts, but simply because your domain has been penalized and you're not even aware of it.
PERSONALLY, I do believe Google has lists of suspicious domains or blacklisted domains. If you are in those lists, most likely every link you gets Google will be very suspicious towards your links. Therefore, the link juices will be very low for each link you get.
Having a penalty-free domain matters more than all your link strategies and other optimization efforts because no matter how perfect your SEO may be, a penalized domain will still fall short of achieving ideal positioning in search results or it may not be displayed at all.
Whether you already own a domain name or you are planning to buy one and you think you've got the perfect domain name singled out, you need to make sure your domain won't be impacted by search engine penalties due to things that are simply beyond your control.
It might surprise you to know that domain resellers and hosting companies, including domain registry organizations, do not need to perform a check of domain names before offering them for sale or alert the potential buyer to any negative data associated with the domain name.
Some domain sellers and resellers can sell hundreds or even thousands of penalized domain names to buyers and those buyers are then stuck with a domain that will always fail to perform in search results.
There are no guarantees and no refunds when you buy a domain, so it's up to you to make sure your domain name is free of issues and won't find itself on the bottom of search results, or not on them at all, due to penalties applied by search engines.
It is not just beginner making this mistakes, Professional Marketers too also making this mistake. Neil Patel is a senior expert in Internet Marketing. Neil Patel launched a site "NutritionalResource.com".
He did all hard work optimize everything, but he still cannot get the website to rank. Until he checks Webmaster tool knowing the domain penalized. Read here for the whole story.
Once you've secured a domain free of search engine penalties or other possible negative issues, the way is clear for you to create a website that has unlimited potential for achieving optimal page rank and search positioning. At that point, the only thing stopping you will be your creative efforts and marketing strategies.

Tango Patcher: Notepad2 (best alternative to Notepad)
Just like MusikCube is the best music player, Notepad2 is the best notepad. OK maybe it's not the best but surely it's the best alternative to the default Notepad in Windows.
Notepad2 features:
– Syntax highlighting: HTML, XML, PHP, ASP (JS, VBS), CSS,
JavaScript, VBScript, C/C++, C#, Resource Script, Makefiles, Java,
Visual Basic, Pascal, Assembly, SQL, Perl, Python, Configuration
Files, Apache Config Files, Batch Files, Diff Files
– Drag & drop text editing inside and outside Notepad2
– Basic regular expression search and replace
– Useful word, line and block editing shortcuts
– Rectangular selection (Alt+Mouse)
– Brace matching, auto indent, long line marker, zoom functions
– Support for Unicode, UTF-8, Unix and Mac text files
– Open shell links
– Very adjustable
As for the Tango Mod:
- Download the Tango Notepad2 Patcher
- Download Notepad2
- Place the Notepad2.exe in the folder where the Patcher is and run the .bat file
- If you want to replace the default Notepad you need to replace Notepad.exe file in system32 and Windows directories with your freshly patched Notepad.exe
update: The 2.0.18 version Notepad2 is UPX-packed. LKRaider modified the script so the patcher works with the new versions http://lkraider.eipper.com.br/files/share/Tango_Notepad2_Patcher_by_stefeq-UPX_Fix.zip
People who find the patcher not working – you need to divide the batch into 2 parts (you can paste the following into command line).
1st decompress and patch
ren Notepad2.exe Notepad.exe
upx -d Notepad.exe
reshacker.exe -addoverwrite "notepad.exe", "notepad.exe", notepad.ico, icongroup,100,1033
reshacker.exe -addoverwrite "notepad.exe", "notepad.exe", TangoGnome_toolbar.bmp, Bitmap,100,1033
reshacker.exe -addoverwrite "notepad.exe", "notepad.exe", TangoGnome_toolbar_inactive.bmp, Bitmap,101,1033
2nd compress and delete unnecessary files
upx --best Notepad.exe
del ResHacker.ini
del ResHacker.log
i've been using notepad2 for quite some time, and i've gotta say the icons are great. thx a lot m8!
The Icons look great, but i can't patch the notepad2.exe. i see the toolbar, but it's messed up, all icons are wrong. could you send me your notepad2.exe (patched)?
Found it out now: my notepad2-Version was too new, you need to use Notepad2 2.0.16, not 220.127.116.11, maybe you can add this to your entry.
Notepad2 is a good and simple alternative to the windows notepad.
For everyone who need a bit more advanced texteditor I recommend Notepad++
Nice 🙂
For the script to work on the newer versions, you need to unpack the executable first with UPX.
Get UPX from here (Win32 console version):
Extract upx.exe to the Notepad2 folder, and edit the runThisScript_TangoGnome_Notepad2.bat file, adding this line in the beggining:
upx -d Notepad2.exe
And this line just before the "ren Notepad2.exe Notepad.exe" command:
upx –best Notepad2.exe
Then you can execute the patcher and it should work correctly on the newer Notepad2 file 🙂
It`s not working with 2.0.18 version can anyone fix this plz
Here, I repackaged the patcher with the changes I mentioned so it works on the new version of Notepad2:
it doesn't work 😦
even with the repackaged patcher
any idea?
i've followed the instruction, either in this page or readme.txt included in package.
I'd really expect a tangofied version of Notepad++
Doesn't patch. Even tried to spit the original patch, as you said, and the turn out is the same.
one thing i noticed that may be causing some issues is the quotes located in the "break apart" section of this how-to. command prompt does not recognize them as real quotes, you'll need to go in and delete each quote and replace them with re-typed quotes.
anyone got lucky with this i can`t get it work with any of the 3 ways posted above :S ?
I've tried these steps, and it worked like charm (tested on Notepad2 ver 2.3.0
1. Download http://lkraider.eipper.com.br/files/share/Tango_Notepad2_Patcher_by_stefeq-UPX_Fix.zip
2. Download UPX from http://upx.sourceforge.net/
3. Extract Tango_Notepad2_Patcher_by_stefeq-UPX_Fix.zip to a folder, say Notepad2Patch
4. Replace UPX.exe on folder Notepad2Patch with the one from http://upx.sourceforge.net/
5. Extract Notepad2 (the .exe, ie: notepad2.exe) to Notepad2Patch
6. Edit the runThisScript_TangoGnome_Notepad2.bat on the Notepad2Patch folder to look like:
copy Notepad2.exe Notepad2-orig.exe
upx -d Notepad2.exe
reshacker.exe -addoverwrite "notepad2.exe", "notepad2.exe", notepad.ico, icongroup,100,1033
reshacker.exe -addoverwrite "notepad2.exe", "notepad2.exe", TangoGnome_toolbar.bmp, Bitmap,100,1033
reshacker.exe -addoverwrite "notepad2.exe", "notepad2.exe", TangoGnome_toolbar_inactive.bmp, Bitmap,101,1033
upx –best Notepad2.exe
rem ren Notepad2.exe Notepad.exe
rem del ResHacker.ini
rem del ResHacker.log
7. Run the runThisScript_TangoGnome_Notepad2.bat on Notepad2Patch
8. File Notepad2.exe On folder Notepad2Patch is the one with the new icon, while Notepad2-orig.exe is the original one.
Hope it helps
in the script, just replace notepad.exe with notepad2.exe in the reshaker's 3 lines, and there you go
Notepad supports including toolbar icons from file, so I've included those icons to Kai Liu's patched version of Notepad2 (Code-folding, etc…).
So ready-for-use version 3.1.21:
(including metapath, witch is executed by clicking on the orange icon in notepad2)

Self-Management Has Small Effect on Low Back Pain
(HealthDay News) – Compared to minimal interventions, self-management has a small effect on pain and disability in non-specific low back pain (LBP).
Vinicius C. Oliveira, of the University of Sydney in Australia, and associates conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to investigate the effectiveness of self-management for non-specific LBP. Short-term (less than six months after randomization) and long-term (>12 months after randomization) analyses were conducted separately.
Based on data from 13 original trials, the researchers found moderate quality evidence that, in LBP, self-management was effective for improving pain and disability. At short-term follow-up, the weighted mean difference for pain was −3.2 points (on a 0–100 scale) and the weighted mean difference for disability was −2.3 points. The corresponding figures for long-term follow-up were −4.8 and −2.1 points.
"There is moderate quality evidence that self-management has small effects on pain and disability in people with LBP," the authors write. "Although effective when compared to minimal intervention, we are unsure if self-management provides worthwhile effects in the management of LBP. These results challenge the endorsement of self-management in treatment guidelines."

What Is Pilates?
Developed in the 1920's by Joseph Pilates, Pilates is an exercise system which focuses on improving strength, flexibility, balance, control and muscular symmetry. The rhythmic exercises aid in building more defined, longer, leaner muscles. Pilates is a total body workout of specifically developed exercises done on either a mat or specially designed equipment. At Core Essentials Pilates Studio we offer equipment based Pilates. While doing Pilates, the core muscles are what initiate all of the body's movement. Each exercise is done with attention to breath, control, and flow of movement while keeping your body in correct alignment to better benefit from the workout. Pilates exercises concentrate more on the smaller muscle groups around the joints and bones. After an hours workout you will feel as if you have better posture, more flexibility, core strength, a greater sense of well being, and be on your way to a toner, leaner body.
Who Can Benefit From Pilates?
Pilates is an exercise regimen that everyone can benefit from. Young to older men and women, the weak, those with chronic pain such as; back , neck, arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, etc…, those with posture issues such as scoliosis, and athletes of golf, swimming, tennis, baseball, track, football, etc….Every exercise is only taken to your personal limit of control and can be modified if need be. Pilates principles can be used in everyday life such as; mowing the lawn, gardening, shoveling, sweeping, lifting, walking, etc… Pilates principles are something that everyone should be taught in order to live a long healthy pain free life. Pilates is very versatile and can fit anyone's needs.
Why Do I Need To Do the Beginners Package?
Even if you have taken mat or equipment classes elsewhere, it is a valuable experience to re-examine your strengths and weaknesses and learn your body's habits in alignment in movement. Further, by working privately with an instructor, you will learn how to get the most out of your Pilates Group sessions. If the instructor feels you are competent enough to go into groups within a session or two, we will shorten your series and credit your account.
What Happens During the Initial Beginners Package?
During your five private initial sessions, you will learn the fundamental movement principles of Pilates and the breathing technique we use at Core Essentials Pilates Studio. The goal is for you to experience a wide variety of exercises on the various Pilates equipment and for you to be familiar with the Pilates vocabulary, both in your mind and your body. This way, when you choose to enter into Group Classes, you will see faster results and be able to more thoroughly enjoy your sessions.
 What Should I Wear?
It is helpful for our instructors if you wear comfortable yet form-fitting exercise clothes. That way we can make sure you are performing the exercises in the proper alignment. However, we don't advise you wear loose or "short" shorts as many of the exercises are done with your legs open and elevated. You may exercise in either your bare feet or socks.
How Many Times Per Week Should I Do Pilates?
Pilates can be quite effective over time even if you can only do one session a week, but most of our clients come 2 to 3 times a week. However, you can do Pilates every single day. There is no "day on, day off" schedule. So if you are training for a special event or have a flexible schedule, you can do Pilates three, four even five times a week.
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Joseph Pilates said that "you'll feel better in 10 sessions, look better in 20 and have a whole new body in 30 sessions."  Most of our clients have found this to be true and many start seeing results within a few sessions. Keep in mind that every ones bodies are different and results can vary depending on your body type. Perhaps most important, our clients feel better almost instantly which keeps them coming back for more.
Do Men Benefit From Pilates?
Remember: Pilates was created by a man and was later adapted for women! Men generally have less flexibility and a greater degree of upper body strength than women so Pilates helps to create longer, more agile muscles as well as to counter-strengthen in the core and lower body. At Core Essentials Pilates Studio, our male clientele is fast growing. From men who want to improve their golf game, to men recovering from injuries or punishing exercise habits, Pilates helps both men and women retrain and re-strengthen the body for optimum performance.
"I really appreciated Krista's Pilates instruction during my recent pregnancy. Throughout each stage, Krista helped me to modify moves to accommodate my growing belly and pushed me just enough so that I maintained strength and muscle tone throughout the nine months. When I got to the delivery room, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the deep breathing I had been doing in my Pilates exercises relaxed me and helped me to engage with the process of birth more than the other breathing techniques I had learned."
~Janelle P.~
 "I enjoy many sports, and wanted an exercise program to increase my strength and flexibility. With Pilates, the results have been fantastic, my flexibility at 49 is better than it's ever been – Pilates is a rewarding challenge."Â
 ~Randy W.~

a capitalist economy and protection of our natural world are inimical to one another. the former demands us to consume more and continue spending so it can prosper and grow, while the latter requires us to reduce our consumption so it may flourish.
this free market economy is destroying our clean air, water and soil, all in the name of profit, and in so doing it will ultimately destroy itself and us, not to mention countless other innocent creatures in the process. greed sows the seeds of its own demise and it doesn't care who it takes down with it.
stop the wholesale destruction of the natural world which belongs to all beings, not just human, by saying enough is enough. the way we are living now is not sustainable nor is it healthy or conducive to the well-being and happiness of all.

5 things you can easily fix in your home
I am sure there are a number of handyman service providers in the place you live in. However, for some small fixes around the house, you don't need to call in a handyman. You can do it yourself. Here are 5 fixes that you can do on your own easily.
Squeaky door hinges
This is a common household problem. Squeaky door hinges can be irritable. You can spray some WD-40, a special lubricant, on the hinges while moving the door back and forth so that the lubricant gets in. You can also try to rub the hinges with petroleum jelly. If this doesn't work, then lift the hinge pins a little and lubricate them.
Hard-to-remove decals
Spray some WD-40 around the affected area. Lift the edges underneath so that the lubricant gets in. Let is sit for sometime, then scrape away the decal gently. De-grease the tub with liquid dishwashing soap afterwards.
Stuck sliding windows
Put some silicone spray lubricant. This will grease the skids. Then spray this onto a rag and wipe along the tracks. This will help to move the sliding windows.
Stained tub
You can mix equal amounts of cream of tartar and baking soda along with lemon juice and make a paste. Rub this paste into the stain with a soft cloth or with your fingers. Leave it for half an hour and then rinse it off with water.
Squeaky floor
You can temporarily fix the problem by sprinkling some talcum powder on the noisy area and sweep it into the cracks. Don't forget to remove the traces of powder, else you may fall off.
These are some very small household problems that you can fix yourself. Calling a handyman for these works will be a waste of money. So, if you have similar problems around your house then try to do it yourself. Internet is a good resource where you can find some easy solutions to this kind of problems.

The development of an online measure of therapist competence.
Abstract: The topic of therapist training has been relatively neglected in the research literature. Similarly, the related issue of the measurement of the outcome of training, especially therapist competence, has been largely overlooked. Data supporting the effectiveness of various methods of clinician training and those providing estimates of the level of competence achieved by clinicians are scarce. Validated scalable methods for the measurement of clinician outcomes such as competence are required to evaluate both existing and new methods of training. This study focuses on the development and testing of an online measure (eMeasure) to assess therapists' applied knowledge of Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT-E), a transdiagnostic evidence-supported treatment for the full range of eating disorders. The eMeasure meets the stringent requirements of the Rasch model and has three equivalent versions making it suitable for repeat testing of trainees in outcome studies. Preliminary best cut points to distinguish between those who are competent and those who are not are identified. While the present work focused on CBT-E, the method described may be used to develop and test other measures relating to therapist competence.

Statics is the branch of mechanics concerned with the analysis of loads (force, torque/moment) on physical systems in static equilibrium, that is, in a state where the relative positions of subsystems do not vary over time, or where components and structures are at a constant velocity. When in static equilibrium, the system is either at rest, or its center of mass moves at constant velocity. The study of moving bodies is known as dynamics, and in fact the entire field of statics is a special case of dynamics[1].
By Newton's first law, this situation implies that the net force and net torque (also known as moment of force) on every body in the system is zero. From this constraint, such quantities as stress or pressure can be derived. The net forces equalling zero is known as the first condition for equilibrium, and the net torque equalling zero is known as the second condition for equilibrium. See statically determinate.
Statics is used in the analysis of structures, for instance in architectural and structural engineering. Strength of materials is a related field of mechanics that relies heavily on the application of static equilibrium. A key concept is the center of gravity of a body at rest: it represents an imaginary point at which all the mass of a body resides. The position of the point relative to the foundations on which a body lies determines its stability towards small movements. If the center of gravity exists outside the foundations, then the body is unstable because there is a torque acting: any small disturbance will cause the body to fall or topple. If the center of gravity exists within the foundations, the body is stable since no net torque acts on the body. If the center of gravity coincides with the foundations, then the body is said to be metastable.
Hydrostatics, also known as fluid statics, is the study of fluids at rest. This analyzes bodies of fluid in static equilibrium. The characteristic of any fluid at rest is that the force exerted on any particle of the fluid is the same at all points at the same depth (or altitude) within the fluid. If the net force is greater than zero the fluid will move in the direction of the resulting force. This concept was first formulated in a slightly extended form by the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal in 1647 and would be later known as Pascal's Law. This law has many important applications in hydraulics. Archimedes, Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī, Al-Khazini[2] and Galileo Galilei were also major figures in the development of hydrostatics.
"Using a whole body of mathematical methods (not only those inherited from the antique theory of ratios and infinitesimal techniques, but also the methods of the contemporary algebra and fine calculation techniques), Arabic scientists raised statics to a new, higher level. The classical results of Archimedes in the theory of the centre of gravity were generalized and applied to three-dimensional bodies, the theory of ponderable lever was founded and the 'science of gravity' was created and later further developed in medieval Europe. The phenomena of statics were studied by using the dynamic apporach so that two trends - statics and dynamics - turned out to be inter-related withina single science, mechanics. The combination of the dynamic apporach with Archimedean hydrostatics gave birth to a direction in science which may be called medieval hydrodynamics. [...] Numerous fine experimental methods were developed for determining the specific weight, which were based, in particular, on the theory of balances and weighing. The classical works of al-Biruni and al-Khazini can by right be considered as the beginning of the application of experimental methods in medieval science."
Part of the Division of Applied Mechanics and the School of Engineering
The study of Statics is the fundamental examination of the effects of Forces upon objects. Often referred to as the primary discipline within the field of Engineering Mechanics, statics explores the behavior of bodies moving at a constant velocity. Dynamics is the subsequent study of the forces acting upon bodies moving with a non-constant velocity (i.e accelerating).

Prehistoric Musings
We went on a delightfully nerdy double date to the local Museum of Natural Science to check out their dinosaur exhibit. We were pleasantly surprised to find more than just a bunch of dinosaur fossils: the paleontology exhibit covered the beginning of life through the evolution of Homo Sapiens. It was an awesome display of […]
Back to Basics
When politics or the day-to-day drudgery become depressing, it's comforting to go back to universal truths and scientific discoveries. NASA's Picture of the Day website is particularly awesome. I found this conglomeration of an Alan Watts quote with a beautiful shot of the Andromeda galaxy; I think it speaks for itself:

*The iPhone "I Am T-Pain" app is getting ready to launch a new fabulous feature. Every Thursday at 3 p.m. EST, T-Pain will release a slew of new beats produced by someone in his camp for $.99.
The first beat pack, as it is called, went out on Nov. 4 that featured new instrumentals produced by Mr. Pain himself.
In other news, in case you're wondering, his delayed album "RevolveR" has no release date as of yet.

text: Hi everyone. I want to buy my first mac, but I just spend a great deal of $$ on a new, hot Dell 24" monitor. So, I have less than $1000 for the mac. But it's ok, because my plan is to give this one to my wife in a year, and then I'll be ready to get a better, high-end Mac to use with this tasty monitor (just graduated medical school, so I should start making at least a little $$ soon). My options: A friend is willing to sell an eMac 1.25 with 512 ram for $600. A mac Mini? An older powermac? Here are my questions: 1) While I will be a mac newbie, I love playing with my digital camera/photoshop and would like to burn some DVD's with iLife with my wedding photos, so I want at least some good graphical performance... Also I'd love to try out Tiger OS... Would the mini or emac be able to handle this? 1) How do I tell if these would work with the Dell 24" LCD? (esp. the eMac or the mac Mini?, as these are the obviously cheapest options) in terms of the graphics card compatibility? 2) Does anyone have any idea if there will be a new Mini soon? l'd love just a little bit of a faster processor/bigger hard drive... Thanks, DAN

《论诗·其五》 赵翼
On Poetry (V)
Chao Yi
The best of poetry comes from the destitute, but my pocket is not yet empty;
I gather, it's all because I haven't perfected my skill as a poet.
Having fish to eat or bear's paw? 1 I admit, I'm greedy for both:
I yearn for skill in poetry, yet how I dread being poor!
1. Alluding to a famous parable in the Meng-tzu, in which Mencius points out that when two delicacies, fish and bears' paw, are placed before a person and he can only have one of the two to eat he has to make a difficult choice.

Sonia Rykiel is one of my favourite designers at the moment... My relatively-recently acquired top sent me on a wild rampage of her website, looking intently at the latest collection.
Compared to other designers in the same league, not many are as youthful & cheerful as this one. It reminds me to dress young while I'm still well under the hill, if that phrase even exists.
For Perth-ians, these Springy outfits would be perfect for the strange breezy weather we're having at the moment. For the poor frost-bitten Northern hemisphere-ers, these looks would be a great festive outfit. (With perhaps a coat thrown over the top!)

Bulletin Reflection
Alice Camille
Teachers should know more than their students. I think most of us hope that the people who are training us in any capacity have more expertise than those whom they are mentoring. But we've probably all taken courses in which we found out that our teachers were posers, or we've held jobs in which our supervisors had less expertise than we did.
Nicodemus has such a credibility gap. He's a teacher of the people, a member of the Sanhedrin. Yet after hearing Jesus, Nicodemus realizes he's discovered a teacher who knows more than he does. And when Jesus tells him that the way to all truth includes being "born again," Nicodemus misunderstands him, imagining an impossible second physical birth. Nicodemus should not have been so uncomprehending: Judaism itself expected a second birth from those attracted to its teachings. The fact that Nicodemus questions this image implies that he's not been doing his homework.
Yet there's something redeemable about Nicodemus. He keeps coming back to Jesus even though under cover of darkness, afraid to be known as a disciple. He may be ignorant, but at least he knows that he does not know—which puts him far ahead of the unthinking mobs in the streets. Jesus tells him that second birth means that he has to start over, from scratch, a new beginning, and Nicodemus is prepared to try. This puts him head and shoulders above the multitudes who listen to Jesus politely for an afternoon, chalk up the experience as amusing or interesting, and return to their routines.
Those who stay, like Nicodemus, will have their ignorance challenged, their understanding broadened. They'll learn that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. They'll come to know that Jesus doesn't come to judge and condemn the world, but to rescue it. Those who hang around for the long haul will come to experience the sign at the center of great mystery: the cross of Christ. They will come to appreciate that a second birth is also a form of death to the old way of seeing and believing and behaving. The cross changes everything. It makes the strange specter of death into an ally toward fuller, more abundant life.
Saint Paul, the best posthumous pupil Jesus ever had, seemed to be born again in a single encounter with the Risen Lord. He perceived how humility leads naturally to glory, how death is the doorway to life. Paul, who, unlike his fellow Pharisee Nicodemus, probably never met the human Jesus nor saw the cross of Jesus, unpacked its tremendous significance and confessed his allegiance to its great saving mystery. If Nicodemus had been born again, he might have crept out of the shadows and become a memorable teacher of the faith. We might be reading his letters to the church today.

Imam Abdullah Antelpi a few years ago for those lost in 9/11.
God of wisdom and compassion, You create eventual blessings out of every kind of evil. Make us instruments and agents of such creation as we strive to turn the post-9/11 challenges into opportunities and blessings for others and ourselves.
God of mercy and grace, we bring up the immediate victims and their loved ones of these heinous acts into your attention. Be their light in these moments of darkness and difficulty.
God of hope and glory, do not let our hopes be overcome by our fears. Do not let our souls be crippled by despair. Be our source of hope and guidance in these times of sorrow and mourning.
Oh God, if we forget You. Do not forget us.
In your most Holy and Beautiful names we pray. Amen. Carrie

Over the past 40 years, this client has grown to become one of the world's leading distribution groups. The world's second-largest retailer and the largest in Europe, the group currently operates over 9,500 stores, either company-operated or franchises. The group currently operates in three major markets (Europe, Latin America and Asia) with a presence in 32 countries.
The group sees strong potential for further international growth in the future and consistently emphasizes local recruitment, plus management and staff training on the job wherever they work. Typically, the company will be one of the leading private employers in any country where it operates. Naturally, this is the case for France where the group was originally founded, but it is also true of countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Italy and Greece.
The client needed to control its budget for some transactions and they did not have a single tool to manage to do this. Ataway observed the company's work habits for several months in order to perfectly understand the client's needs and learn how its PeopleSoft Budget Control module worked. Finally, after several months of analysis, Ataway made a proposal to implement the Budget Control module of PeopleSoft, which would cover a majority of the client's business requirements.
Based on the module KK (Commitment Control) of the Thalès application, the two main objectives of this project were: 1) To build a core model for this module in order to deploy the global business process designed for the commitment control of the general expenses (applicable to all the client's entities, holdings and logistic entities), and 2) To deploy this core model (Mid-2011 for the Hypermarket and Supermarket formats for France in Phase One, and later to all the other entities in Phase Two). In order to evaluate the risk encountered and the effort needed by that type of deployment using PeopleSoft, a prototype of this Business Process was built early in 2010. The evolution was based on this prototype, along with business requirements and user expectations that were gathered. Phase Two of the implementation was studied later in 2011, but all the already known requirements for this phase were taken into account in the Global Design.
The implementation of FSCM Commitment Control (KK) for version 8.4 for a global company like this particular client was a major challenge in itself, as it was their first version of KK in Peoplesoft. Ataway's consultants encountered several difficulties. Along with connection issues, Ataway consultants experienced many standard bugs in Commitment Control Peoplesoft v. 8.4. They also had issues with the Main process of Commitment Control, which had to be modified many times to support client requirements.
Thanks to its expertise and methodologies, Ataway found simple solutions and performed them with rigor. In doing so, Ataway way able to successfully improve the client's Peoplesoft Commitment Control v.8.4 and fix standard bugs to meet the target goals without delaying the implementation.
The major achievements of this project included the professionalism and expertise of Ataway's consultants as the Budget Control module was complex and unstable. Despite the complexity and instability, the consultants managed to handle it very well and both phases of the project were delivered on time.
Prior to Ataway's involvement in the project, the client did not have any tools to track its budget. The customer benefitted from Ataways's involvement in the project by the tools and KPI to measure the progress of the project that Ataway deployed. The customer was satisfied with the result and was able to track its budget with efficiency.

I have been working on this sign for a friend of mine. She wanted me to make it for her daughter's room. Although everything isn't stuck down and we will play with the flowers and butterflies this gives you an idea of what it will look like.
I have had a hard time piecing the background together. The right side still needs to be adhered but there will be one or two lines where the cardstock had to go on top. I think once it is one the wall it won't be very noticeable and the letters cover up a lot. It will look better than this picture though. :)

19 Mar Chromebooks Rival iPads in School 1:1 Programs
The Apple iPad's reign as the indisputable champion of educational technology deployments is being challenged by a newbie device once mocked as a hopeless underdog: the Google Chromebook. Google's young operating system entered the market in mid-2011 amidst a cloud of skepticism from the tech community, which viewed the Web-based device as little more than an app manager. By 2013, the Chromebook surge contributed to 21 percent of computer sales, and the following year, the device outsold iPads in schools by about 13,000 units.
Hoping to avoid the domino effect of the iPad trend, school administrators are cautiously weighing the benefits of Chromebooks before investing valuable city funds and educational grants. Many schools are running small-scale pilots or testing multiple devices at once. So, how is this freshman technology stamping out the critics?
Whether a school has one cart of Chromebooks or hundreds of devices, managing them is a painless process, says Joel Handler, the Director of Technology for Hillsborough Public Schools in New Jersey. Since all data is stored in the cloud, the technology department can make software updates remotely, and students can access their work from another Chromebook if their original device breaks or malfunctions.
Educators also cite the low upfront cost as a selling factor. The least expensive Chromebooks start around $199, and the simple, centralized management means schools aren't tasked with paying for additional IT staff. But Handler pinpointed the Chromebook's core value as a device that puts students in a working mindset, compared to the recreational gaming feel of the iPad. The Chromebook's keyboard setup and productivity-oriented Google suite capture the experience of working on a laptop in a professional environment. And after all, educators say preparing students for life after school is what technology initiatives are all about.

Brevard Music Center gratefully acknowledges 2018 Season Sponsors, Jacquelyn and Bruce Rogow.Brevard Music Center continues to stand as one of this country's premier summer training programs and music festivals," said Brevard Music Center President & CEO Mark Weinstein. "Each season, our esteemed faculty and gifted student musicians collaborate on stage, alongside internationally-acclaimed artists and musical legends, to present over eighty concerts to an enthusiastic audience of 40,000 attendees. This summer, tens of thousands of music-lovers will convene with friends by the lake, under the stars, or in an intimate concert hall to experience an unprecedented variety of classical and non-classical offerings. Please join us as we celebrate our 82nd season and performances as captivating as the view!" Opening Weekend of Festivities: June 22 - 26
The festivities officially commence on Opening Night, Friday, June 22 when BMC Artistic Director Keith Lockhart returns to lead Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2, featuring the "mesmerizing and dazzling" pianist Olga Kern. The Music Center's non-classical series, BMC Presents, kicks off the new season on Saturday, June 23 with the acclaimed Grammy Award-winning quartet The Manhattan Transfer and a swinging evening of "some of the finest vocal harmonizing on the planet." On Sunday, June 24, Maestro Lockhart launches BMC's 2018 Bernstein Festival with "Beloved Bernstein"-a distinct collection of beloved pieces including "Overture to Candide," "Fancy Free," "On the Town," "Divertimento," and "On the Waterfront."

One of the most prominent and widely published writers on topics in American music, Joseph Horowitz, returns to Brevard to participate in a season-long series of events and free lectures providing rich context around the influential composer's music. BMC's Leonard Bernstein Festival includes a series of classical and Broadway concerts featuring beloved works such as "Chichester Psalms," Symphony No. 2 ("Age of Anxiety"), and the "Mass" (Season Finale), among others.

New York City's WQXR Young Artists Showcase Comes to Brevard
Now in its 40th year on WQXR, New York City's only classical music radio station, Young Artists Showcase is a weekly radio show that seeks out and displays the talents of young emerging artists.

On July 20, the virtuosic pianist "with staggering technique...and emotional range," Conrad Tao, returns to Brevard to perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1. Throughout June and July, a series of seven BMC Student Spotlights illuminate the many talents of the Music Center's exceptional students.

Artistic Director Keith Lockhart returns to Brevard for his final season appearances to conduct both "The Planets" (which also features visuals from the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute/PARI) and Bernstein's "Mass." On July 14, BMC proudly presents "West Side Story"- with live symphony performing Leonard Bernstein's classic score - marking the second union of movie and live music on the Music Center's Whittington-Pfohl stage and following the acclaimed 2017 season presentation of "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial in Concert." This summer, opera lovers enjoy a dazzling array of three fully staged operas and two operatic concerts. In addition to Bernstein's "Candide" on July 26 and 28, BMC's Opera Company proudly presents Puccini's "Madama Butterfly" on June 28 and 30, and Rossini's "La Cenerentola" (Cinderella) on July 12 and 14.

You kiss like and adult - One shot
Title: You kiss like an adult
Pairing: Yaotome Hikaru/ "you"
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance
Disclaimer: I don't own the boys, but the story is mine. :D
Note: English is not my native language, so I'm sorry for mistakes
Summary: Can he convince you that he isn't too young for you?
Note: Requested by lilly0:
Pairing (also OC): Hikaru/You
Rating: PG-13
Sentence/ Title/ Situation: Can he convince you that he isn't too young for you?
You met him during Orthros no inu film shooting, because you were the assistant director and there you had to work with him. During the first meeting you recognized him immediately, because his smile and his friendly eyes were resting on you.
After the first filming day the crew met up in a restaurant next to the set, and you were a little bit late, because you helped the director with the plans for the next day. You looked around the table and the only seat which was free, was next to him. "Can I sit down here?" you asked him and pointed at the chair. Hikaru smiled and nodded: "Of course, it's free". You sat down and somehow you felt nervous. You wanted to take your glass with water and accidentally your hands touched each other. "Sorry", you smiled at him and looked back at your glass. "Oh, no problem", he answered and smiled back.
You could feel the touch of his hand on your hand, his skin was soft and warm. You dismissed the thought and shook your head. It can't be that you felt something for him, because he was a few years younger than you are. You really had to smile about your own stupid thoughts and started chatting with the others.
The next days went on without any thought of Hikaru and your feelings towards him, till the night, were he accompanied you to your home. It was raining and you both had to run, because you hadn't an umbrella with you. You got to know that he lived a few minutes away from your house, and so you walked home together.
You both had to laugh, because you were soaking wet, but it was summer and it was a balmy night. You stopped in front of your apartment and you laughed loudly, because you both looked terrible. You didn't know what happened next, because everything went quickly and you never imagined that: He bent over and took your hand to push you a little bit closer to him and you could feel his lips on yours. You pushed him away and ran upstairs, shut your door and sat on the floor.
After one hour "lost in thoughts" you stood up and took a shower.
That hasn't happened …that can't be… I am not… he is younger than I am…..After you walked into your bed you made your decision: you wouldn't go out with a younger man (even if you just felt his lips caressing yours)
You were awake before the sun raised up. You couldn't sleep that much and things were running through your head, so you decided to drive to the set early in the morning. You knew that he wouldn't be there, because it was his day off. You could hear Tackey and Ryo talking in the corner of the room, and you had to listen to it, because they spoke about Hikaru: "Yes, I know, he has high fever and he lies in bed. Maybe I will go to visit him later, he is alone at home, and maybe he needs something".
Okay, I have one day off, and I can decide when I want to use it, so I use it now. You decided without thinking of it and drove directly to his apartment. Before you rang the doorbell, you recognized what was going on: you fell in love, even if you didn't want to, and even if you ever said, you won't fall for younger man, but you couldn't deny your feelings.
You rang and he opened the door, but he wasn't sick nor had he fever. "I wanted to talk to you, and I asked Tackey for help…", he said meekly and looked on the floor. "I hoped you get worried and come by. I really want to apologize for yesterday, but I can't deny my feelings towards you, and I know I am younger, but I try my best, because…" he continued but you didn't let him finish the sentence. You kissed him slightly on his lips and stepped closer to him. He embraced you closely and kissed you forcefully, and you knew you wouldn't care about the age anymore, because he kissed like he was much older than you are….

A few weeks ago I dedicated a blog to my paternal grandfather. Sadly, just two weeks short of his 104th birthday, he had decided it was time to leave us and join my grandmother who had been waiting very patiently for over 30 years!
The wonderful response I received from readers was so heart warming that I feel that I simply must say thank you. Your words of comfort, your tweets, your messages of support – they made a real difference.
Now I need your help again!
Through Lion Hearts, Maree and I recently became involved with the Healthy Living Club – a Lambeth (London) based charity that works with those suffering dementia. Over the weeks that have followed I have been reminded of my brush with this condition and the impact it has on so many lives.
Last year I lost my maternal grandmother to Alzheimer's and I would like now to dedicate this blog to her. To do this I am taking a chapter from my book, Me, My world and I, the lines of which were written for her.
Groups like the Healthy Living Club do so very much to help improve the quality of life for those who have dementia as well offer relief and hope to their loved ones. If you live in or around London, please, please, please come along to the concert – it's important and your support would mean so very much! (Details at the bottom of the blog)!
In Grandmother's Arms
Cry not for me,
For I have lived.
And with age came wisdom,
And this wisdom a gift.
A life well-acted,
Is not without sorrow.
But reach out beyond,
And seek joy to borrow.
For now is certain,
Tomorrow, less so.
Give all to the moment,
And let the rest go.
Fear not to dream,
And follow your heart.
Live life to the full,
And from love never part.
Give with sincerity,
And know what is true.
Be good to others,
And they will love you.
Work hard for a living,
To avoid a hard life.
For life without money,
Has plenty of strife.
I am here,
And always will be.
Just close your eyes,
And there you will see.
Cry not for me,
Don't shed a tear,
These words now spoken,
You had to hear.
I recall my parents telling me that the days of my youth would be the best of my life.
Of course, at the time, I thought that I knew better. I strongly disliked school, and I dreamed of the supposed freedom that age would bring. What I didn't realise was that I actually knew nothing, and pride always comes before a fall.
This is all very cliché, but with time, I have come to realise that foolish thoughts are often the result of ignorance. With experience grows wisdom, and the wise always listen.
With that in mind, I expect that this poem will be totally ignored by most youth as they venture forth, guns blazing and ready to make their fortune. But the poem is not meant as a self-righteous lecture to be forced upon a young and mostly unreceptive audience. Most of the lines reflect advice I myself so readily ignored, so I have no expectations that the young will receive it well.
I have, with time, found these words to be wise. They are a tribute to the experiences of those who spoke them. And now I, in turn, pass them on to the next generation.
One of those wise enough to see that I knew less than I understood (and bear in mind that I actually understood very little) was my maternal grandmother.
Sadly, she now suffers from Alzheimer's, a disease that has robbed us of the benefits of her wisdom. For this reason, it seems only fitting that her words are now immortalised here.
I am very fortunate to have grown up knowing both my mother's and father's parents. And at the age of forty-two, I still have two surviving grandparents.
My grandmother was both strong and outgoing, and she was an uncompromising business woman who helped make a success of the family's market gardening business. She wasn't afraid of hard work, but she loved to travel, dance, and have fun.
I have many fond memories of spending time with my grandparents on their farm and helping out with their market stalls in King's Lynn, Long Sutton, and Peterborough. I would sell flowers to their older patrons who seemed to find me quite adorable. Of course, I was very young, but I took it all in and loved every moment.
When I wasn't accidentally helping the pigs escape or pilfering oranges from the store sheds, I would accompany my grandparents to the local auctions or assist in loading the lorries for market. I was just a child, and it was a truly marvellous experience – one I would not swap for anything.
As I have now reached my forties, I have started to see those heady days of carefree childish abandon as something akin to a lost treasure. Until now, I guess I saw myself as somewhat immortal: life goes on and you tread its path exploring whatever it brings your way. Then odd aches and pains start to appear, you find yourself out of breath walking up the stairs, and the family around you (people you also viewed as immortal) suddenly appear to have aged.
Seeing my grandmother again after being away a few months was a real wake-up call. She is a sad shadow of the woman I once knew, crippled by a disease that is surely straight from hell. She is still my grandmother – and I still love her – but in some ways, it's almost as if she's already gone.
I have to confess that, when reading this poem through for the first time, it provoked a genuine emotional reaction. I have never been particularly moved by anything I have written in the past. Consequently, I found myself feeling a little surprised. I am glad, though, because (to me) the poem catches the essence of exactly what I wanted to portray.
Even though the poem is dedicated to my grandmother, I feel sure that many who read it will find familiarity in the sentiments being portrayed.
I believe that, even after my grandmother has gone, in many ways her presence will remain. As long as a single heart beats that has been touched by the memory of another, that memory will live on.
