The Yale Map Collection has the largest collection of print maps in Connecticut and one of the largest university collections in the United States. Its collections are geographically comprehensive and consist of over 200,000 map sheets, 3,000 atlases, and 900 reference books.
The Map Collection holds approximately 11,000 rare map prints and manuscripts. These are generally identified as pre-1850 maps and can manifest themselves as large and small flat sheet maps, covers, globes, globe gores, and wall maps, as well as copper- and woodblock-engraved plates. These rare maps cover the world in scope. The majority of the rare collection focuses on North America and includes many maps associated with American history.
Visitors can view maps owned by prominent American figures such as George Washington, early world maps showing geographic perceptions of the period such as Johann Ruyches's 1507 map of the world (Universalior cogniti orbis tabula ex recentibus confecta observationibus), claimed possessions of North America such as John Mitchell's Map of the British and French Dominions in North America, significant historical boundaries such as Charles Mason's Map of the Mason-Dixon line between Maryland and Pennsylvania (1768), and the beginnings of American cities such as the 1721 French manuscript map of New Orleans (Plan de la Nouvelle Orleans). In addition to the main Yale Map Collection, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library contains important collections of rare early mapping, in both atlases and separate sheets. These include such treasures as drawings and charts from the Lewis and Clark expeditions.
The Yale Map Collection is also the central support facility for the use of modern mapping technology at Yale University. At the Map Collection, researchers find state-of-the-art hardware and software resources for the capture, management, and analysis of spatial data, as well as support specialists who provide expert advice and consulting services. The Map Collection staff is well qualified to provide the type of interdisciplinary support required by Yale University's research community. The Map Collection provides instruction in the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for cutting-edge analysis of spatial relationships, as well as the use of mobile mapping technologies such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) to capture the geographic data necessary for the examination of those spatial relationships. The Map Collection is also active in providing services on projects requiring a high level of technical expertise and ranging in focus from the digital mapping of archaeological excavations to the use of 18th-century German postal route maps and modern GIS data to trace James Boswell's route in his travels through Europe.
The Yale Map Collection is a focal point for the collection and availability of cartographic information, regardless of format, at Yale University. The Map Collection augments the collection and use of print maps and atlases with the application of geospatial information systems and imaging software towards a goal of building an internationally renowned collection of cartographic resources in both print and digital forms.

At A New Buffalo Farm
As I always do, I took lots of pictures. I got it down to these three I have for you today. But these aren't necessarily the best. I usually pick the best of the bunch, but I really couldn't decide this time, so this is what I have left over.
That square piece on the fence above is a warning sign to keep away from the fence because the buffalo are dangerous. I would have rested the camera on the fence to take the pictures, but I didn't want to take a chance that it might be electrified. Touching an electric fence would have given me something funny to write about though. Bzzzzzzzzzzt!
I've been trying to give Twitter another little chance so I added the widget for that and I've been active on Twitter for the past few days. I'm trying to use it to give quick updates to things I'm doing related to this blog. Honestly I think Twitter is really only useful for famous people that everyone pays a lot of attention to. I'm going to use it heavily for awhile to see if I can prove myself wrong.
I was going to go on a bigger trip where I couldn't take the dog, but I've decided to postpone it just to make sure she's okay. I know she is, but I can go another day. It was going to be a good nature trip but there are a few indoor places as well. No dogs allowed.
I also finally bought a bird feeder for in back of the house. It's a very simple cheap one because I still don't know if the birds will come. They never did before with the stuff out front. I only have it sitting on the rail of the porch because there is nowhere to hang it yet. If it's successful I'll build something better next summer.
I think that's it for now. I'll be back with another post just as soon as I can get some more pictures. I'll talk to you later.

we have a buffalo farm not far from where I live. One of these days I'll have to stop and check it out.ReplyDelete
Scary with the dog. Glad she was able to get the treat out and is doing ok.
I found that if I switched to just plain black oil sunflower seeds in my feeder there were more birds that visited.
I agree with Ann on sunflower seeds. Nice to see the buffalo, electric fence runs on wires, so you are safe to get closer.ReplyDelete
I hope you get some birds coming around - maybe the sunflower seeds will help.ReplyDelete
Buffalo are interesting creatures. I got to see some babies up close in ND. Glad your dog is OKReplyDelete
Wow, scary dog adventure! :( Maybe just break up the treats so they don't get caught in her throat again. Poor thing. She mus have been terrified.ReplyDelete
LOVE the buffalo. Yeah, I think I'd take the sign seriously too.
Once, we were walking with our dog off the leash on a trail and we came up to a fenced in area that housed buffalo. My mom grabbed her movie camera and slowly panned the buffalo....our dog....more buffalo.... The darn dog crawled into the enclosure with the buffalo!! Thank goodness they did not mind!
Like the new look on the side.Replies
I wish I could break up the treats. These are made of rawhide. She usually plays with them and then chews them into bits. She's had so many with never any trouble before.Delete
My dog probably would have done the same thing with the buffalo. She's big and sometimes thinks she's the biggest thing in the world.
Thanks for noticing the look on the side of the site. I'm trying to figure out a way to get some of that stuff, like other people's blogs, noticed a little more.

Proposed legislation to increase teacher awareness and authority to deal with student misconduct (LRB-0917/P6) could create additional rights for educators, including the authority to remove students from our classroom for two days, use reasonable force to defend ourselves and other students, receive information about a pupil taken into custody for a violent crime, and request a suspension hearing.
Republican Representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt of Fond du Lac hasn't formally introduced the measure, but unveiled the components of the proposal under development.
"We'll be looking into the specifics if the bill is introduced," said Ron Martin, a teacher and president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council. "This kind of legislation could provide some protections to teachers, but we'd also love to see some pro-active legislation that can help teachers connect with students to prevent crisis situations, such as professional development to defuse potentially difficult interactions with students, mandatory preparation time and limitations on workload and class sizes."
Martin said the proposed bill could provide benefits for classroom teachers, such as increased classroom decision-making, expanded options for managing the learning environment, and a better likelihood of uninterrupted instruction benefiting all learners. The measure would also protect teachers' leave benefits while out of work due to an injury inflicted by a student.
The proposal comes on the heels of a bill introduced to weaken teachers' due process rights. "It's ironic that, at the same time legislation is circulating to take away a fair process for teachers to challenge disciplinary action through independent hearings, a bill is under development to expand the role of teachers in student discipline," said Martin, who teaches eighth graders. "Teachers need a fair grievance process in place to allow them autonomy to create safe learning environments. You can't have one without the other. What could happen if a principal disagreed with a teacher's use of the suspension option? Teachers could be nonrenewed without a chance to prove their case."
The Wisconsin Association of School Boards has voiced strong concerns about the potential discipline bill, including "…the lack of safeguards in the way teachers are empowered to take actions against students that may or may not conform to school board policies or the normal chain of command in school settings or could be abused by certain teachers." A long-standing WASB resolution states the WASB opposes legislation authorizing a teacher to remove a student from the classroom without the approval of principals, administrators or school board policies.
Teachers have advocated for more autonomy in discipline decisions, especially given some situations in which building administrators haven't used the student code of conduct policy for discipline, instead looking the other way to improve statistics on district reports.

What: Non-interferon-based hepatitis-C drug hopefuls Achillion Pharmaceuticals
So what: Achillion rocketed higher from the onset of trading because of Bank of America Merrill Lynch raising its rating on Achillion to "buy" from "underperform," and boosting its price target to $13 from $7. Deutsche Bank also initiated Achillion with a "buy" rating and a $12 price target. Bank of America cited enthusiasm over Achillion's hepatitis-C pipeline as the reason behind the upgrade. Conversely, Bank of America Merrill Lynch lowered its rating on Idenix to "neutral" from "buy," as well as reducing its price target to $6 from $8, because of recent concerns over its lead drug candidate, IDX-184.
Now what: As usual, no matter how much we agree or disagree with analyst ratings, we can't allow them to sway our investment thesis as they have only a very short-term effect on a stocks' share price.
What's really going on here is that Achillion has had very few setbacks as compared to the nucleotide-based hepatitis-C drug hopefuls that have struggled with safety concerns since Bristol-Myers Squibb

Why No One Talks About Sports Anymore
Why You Should Incorporate Bike Riding Into Your Lifestyle
Riding a bicycle is an activity that people embrace for the enjoyment it brings, and it is not limited for the outdoors since it can also be done inside a room as long as you have the stationary bike and space where it can be mounted. For you to be able to ride a bike outside, you first need to learn how to handle a bicycle to avoid falling, after which you can buy a bicycle.
After buying a bicycle, it is time to start cycling so as to reap the benefits that come from cycling. For a very long time, man has been cycling without the knowledge of the gains they are getting. Cycling is a hidden treasure that will be uncovered in the process of writing this article.
One of the benefits that come from cycling is weight loss; when you cycle, you get to lower your body fat percentage because, in the process of exerting yourself, you get to build muscle. Muscles are necessary for boosting one's metabolic rate, when the fat burning capability is elevated, there is no other choice but to be lean and lose the extra fat.
5 Key Takeaways on the Road to Dominating Cycling
Among the advantages that are brought about by cycling is a healthy heart. The cardio workout that cycling provides makes it able for one to be able to improve the health of the entire cardio vascular system. When one has a healthy heart, the chances of developing cardio vascular diseases is minimal. One can lead a long life if they have a healthy and strong heart.
How I Became An Expert on Sports
One can breathe better when they cycle because doing so improves lung capabilities. This is important because, it means that, there will be enough oxygenated blood getting into the blood stream thus improving one's health. When you can breathe well, you will not be afraid of doing strenuous tasks for fear of running short of breath.
Additionally, cycling is important since it improves one's sex life; this is because it improves stamina which means that, one can last longer without tiring thus making you better placed to satisfy your partner.
For people suffering from lack of sleep at night, cycling may be an activity to consider taking up. In order to replenish the energy expended during cycling, one may be forced to sleep because of the exhaustion. Sleep is necessary for one to be able to perform optimally in their work place.
Cycling is important because it reduces the amount of time that food takes when moving through the digestive tract, thus reducing bloating and constipation. Bloating and constipation is not a happy feeling because it may cause one to be sluggish and other illnesses due to the fact that waste does not get out of the bowels as frequently as expected. One should be open to adding cycling to their life for the benefits it brings.

New York: Whitney Houston's burial site is now reportedly being protected by armed guards amidst fears that grave robbers would be after her jewellery and gold-lined coffin.
The singer, who died in her LA hotel on February 11, was draped in a purple gown wearing a diamond brooch and earrings and a pair of glittering gold slippers.
The gold casket and jewels have set off alarms that grave robbers may want to steal the booty.
"There is a very genuine fear that her coffin will be targeted by grave robbers," the New York Post quoted a source as telling Britain's Daily Star.
"It would be hard for them to actually dig her casket up, but that won't stop psychotic fans or people who think it could make them money," the source added.
Houston was buried Sunday in a private ceremony at the Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey.

Drugs don't do that," said June, describing the infused T-cells as "serial killers"."On average, each infused T-cell led to the killing of thousands of tumour cells - and destroyed at least two pounds of tumour in each patient."One patient's case, described in the New England Journal of Medicine, involved a 64-year-old man whose blood and marrow were "replete with tumour cells".Results of the experiment He saw little change for the first two weeks after treatment, but then started experiencing nausea, chills and fever. Test showed he was undergoing a huge rise in T-cell count. By day 28, his blood showed no evidence of leukaemia."Most of what I do is treat patients with no other options, with a very, very risky therapy with the intent to cure them," said co-principal investigator David Porter."This approach has the potential to do the same thing, but in a safer manner."Bone marrow transplants are typically the only treatment for leukaemia patients, but they carry a 20% risk of dying from the procedure and cure rates hover at around 50%.It remains unknown how long the treatment may keep cancer at bay."The doctors have found evidence that months after infusion, the new cells had multiplied and were capable of continuing their seek-and-destroy mission against cancerous cells throughout the patients' bodies," said the study.Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is the second most common type of adult leukaemia after chronic myeloid leukaemia, according to the National Cancer Institute.The researchers intend to study similar approaches in children whose leukaemia has resisted standard treatment.They also want to see if the approach could target non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and acute lymphocytic leukaemia, mesothelioma cancer cells, ovarian and pancreatic cancer cells.(Sapa, August 2011) Read more:Green tea slows leukaemiaEarly morning smokers risk cancer Read Health24's Comments Policy Comment on this story 0 comments Comments have been closed for this article.

Money_ The Unauthorized Biography By Felix Martin MOBI
Torrent Details
Money: The Unauthorized Biography by Felix Martin MOBI
From ancient currency to Adam Smith, from the gold standard to shadow banking and the Great Recession: a sweeping historical epic that traces the development and evolution of one of humankind's greatest inventions.
What is money, and how does it work? In this tour de force of political, cultural and economic history, Felix Martin challenges nothing less than our conventional understanding of money. He describes how the Western idea of money emerged from interactions between Mesopotamia and ancient Greece and was shaped over the centuries by tensions between sovereigns and the emerging middle classes. He explores the extraordinary diversity of the world's monetary systems, from the Pacific island of Yap, where value was once measured by immovable stones, to the currency of today that exists solely on globally connected computer screens. Martin shows that money has always been a deeply political instrument, and that it is our failure to remember this that led to the crisis in our financial system and so to the Great Recession. He concludes with practical solutions to our current pressing, money-based problems.
Money skips nimbly among such far-ranging topics as John Locke's disastrous excursion into economic policy, Montesquieu's faith in finance to discipline the power of kings, the social organization of ancient Sparta and the Soviet Union's ill-fated attempt to abolish money and banking altogether. Throughout, Martin makes vivid sense of a chaotic and sometimes incoherent system - the everyday currency that we all share - in the clearest and most stimulating terms. This is a magisterial work of history and economics, with profound implications for the world today.

Since I got back into collecting I mostly have been interested in set collecting. I'm probably working on about 10 different sets and subsets right now and sometimes it feels like 100.
Because of that I've pretty much neglected doing the player collection thing until recently. I came across a post on A Shot Not Taken late last year and Ray is looking to complete the Propaganda subset from 2009 Update and Highlights.
Earlier in the year I had the pleasure of trading with Ray. He sent me a beautiful Adrian Peterson jersey card for some sketches and cards he needed.
Here's the card again. You can never have too much A.D.
Anyway, I wasn't expecting anything in return, but he sent over some really nice cards that all fit into my different player collections.
Since this hasn't been much of a focus until now I was really happy to get these cards.
First up is a card of a former OU and current NFL star, Adrian Peterson.
I've had my eye on this card for a while, but have never pulled it from a pack of cards. Looks like he's in mid-juke here.
A couple of Bowman reprints of Mickey Mantle.
A nice MMHR chrome card of the Mick!
And something new for me is a couple of nice Blake Griffin cards.
He was a standout at OU for a couple of seasons and was the top pick in the draft. He sat out last year with an injury.
He's back now and looks to be doing pretty good for an otherwise crappy team. Poor Clippers.
This is a Passing the Torch card detailing at that time how these guys were the past two (at the time) NCAA Player of the Year award winners.
This is nice posed dunk shot of Mr. Griffin. As of Jan 10th he's leading the NBA in dunks with 88. Up until this point I only had one Panini sticker and one EEE card of Blake. Now I've doubled my collection in only one trade.
Lastly was this gold bordered card of Koyie Hill. I was wondering why a Cub would be in the pack. I did not realize that he was an Oklahoma guy.
He was born in Tulsa and graduated from Lawton Ike. That's not the interesting part about this guy: apparently he got into an accident with a table saw and it cut into his thumb and apparently severed part or all of the remaining 4 fingers. He saved them long enough for the doctors to reattach them.
Reminds me of a Bill Brasky fact:

Thank you very much for the cards Ray! They will be a significant part of my collection.

extension spring can have a preload at zero deflection
Initial Tension
Most extension springs are wound with initial tension.This is an internal force that holds the coils tightly together. The measure of the initial tension is the load necessary to overcome the internal force and just start coil separation. Unlike a compression spring, which has zero load at zero deflection, an extension spring can have a preload at zero deflection.
Note that there is a range of stress (and, therefore, force) for any spring index that can be held without problems. If the designer needs an extension spring with no initial tension, the spring should be designed with space between the coils.
Often stresses are higher in the spring ends than in the spring body. Unless special design precautions are taken, the allowable body stress must be reduced. The hook stress in torsion should not exceed 40-45 percent of tensile strength, while hook stress in bending should not exceed 75 percent of tensile strength.
The maximum bending stress in a machine loop (see spring image below) occurs at location B, while the maximum torsion stress occurs at T. Stresses at these locations are estimated as follows:
How It Works & Principles of Operation Leaf spring
Traditionally, automotive suspension has been a compromise among three conflicting criteria: road handling, load carrying and passenger comfort.The suspension system must support the vehicle, provide directional control during handling maneuvers, and provide effective insulation for passengers and payload from disturbances.Ride comfort requires a soft suspension, whereas load carrying requires a stiff suspension. However, good handling combined with an acceptable ride requires a setting somewhere between the two. Because of these conflicting demands, the rear leaf spring suspension design fitted to pickup trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles has had to be something of a compromise due to the type of vehicle use. Leaf springs are a passive suspension system that have the ability to store energy via the spring and dissipate it by a damper. Its parameters however, are generally fixed and limited.Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS) overcomes the limitations of passive suspension by introducing mechanically active suspension to the rear leaf springs thereby conquering the traditional three-way load vs handling vs comfort conflict. Once fitted, RAS has the ability to store, dissipate and introduce energy to the system. Being mechanical its action is immediate, unlike hydraulics or air which take time to react. This immediate action is also variable, working in exact counter proportion to force applied, hence the term active.Roadmaster Active Suspension kits consist of a set of two very powerful, variable rated, coil springs designed to support and assist rear leaf springs with up to a one ton carrying capacity.Once installed, loaded tension from the eye-to-axle mounted coil tension springs hold the leaf springs in their original designed bowed position. When strain from load or vehicle weight shift is applied to the leaf springs, the stabilizers come into action immediately, absorbing the force of the load. Being variable rated, the greater the strain, the more counter-assistance force from the RAS unit.By introducing a powerful 'load absorbing' spring steel coil system to rear leaf springs, RAS greatly assists the carrying capability of the vehicle as stipulated by the manufacturers. RAS absorbs the load that would otherwise cause bottoming out and thereby provides the benefits of a more level and thus safer ride.On cornering, RAS reduces body roll by supporting the springs which are taking the increased load. By not allowing these springs to flatten out, the vehicle corners more level with greater contact of all four tires to the road. Improved traction translates to better control and handling.
When towing a boat, trailer, camper or other heavy equipment, Roadmaster Active Suspension adds strength to the rear leaf springs while absorbing the increased load. The resulting stability and reduced sway are felt immediately.
Roadmaster Active Suspension can be independently adjusted to compensate for an unbalanced load such as that of ahandicap lift device.
As there is no movement on the leaf spring eye bracket or axle bracket, no friction takes place. All movement evolves from the articulating roller on the axle bracket which will adjust itself to any alignment of the tension spring, irrespective of the up and down deflection and reflection of the leaf spring. The coil tension spring, having an articulated connection insures that the axle and coil spring are always aligned in the direction of the force being applied. Because of the mechanical action of the tension spring, which is instant from left rear to right rear and vice versa, the stability of the vehicle is greatly improved.
Roadmaster Active Suspension is designed to eliminate shock on the suspension itself, thus extending the life of the leafs springs, shock absorbers, shackles, and even tires.

coil springs for mechanical applications
Our Tinmy Spring™ canted coil springs for latching, locking, and holding applications are available in coiled diameters from 0.020 in. (0.51 mm), and in a variety of materials and surface finishes. In addition to fastening or latching, the canted coil spring can be designed to permanently lock two pieces together, or to perform a holding function whereby it provides a specific amount of drag between two components. Depending on design requirements, a spring may be engineered to require as much as 900–1,000 shearing lbs to release the two pieces.
Our mechanical spring technology is used in a broad range of industries and applications, including gear drives, pumping equipment, dispensing machines, mixing equipment, food processing machinery and safety devices.
Enforcer™ high force canted coil spring
We've combined our proven Tinmy Spring™ technology with advanced manufacturing techniques to deliver the Enforcer™ high force canted coil spring, a mechanical fastening component with insertion and removal forces that can be precisely controlled to 10,000+ lb, depending on size and other factors. The Enforcer™, which offers design engineers an excellent alternative to disposable shear pins, complex ball detent assemblies, and other traditional fastening technologies, provides repeatable performance over multiple service cycles. It can be piston or housing mounted, and can also be engineered with relatively low insertion force to simplify the reattachment of parts.
Available in a variety of materials, including stainless steels and nickel-based alloys, the Enforcer provides up to a 10X increase in force over our existing Tinmy Spring™ product line.
When made from a nickel-based alloy wire material with a diameter of 0.031 in., Enforcer high force canted coil springs with a 1-in. ID demonstrated an initial removal force of over 2000 lb, and maintained a removal force of more than 1700 lb after five cycles. In independent testing, larger diameter Enforcer springs consistently demonstrated removal forces greater than 10,000 lb.
The Enforcer™ high force canted coil spring (left) has a higher coil density than Tinmy Seal Engineering's typical Tinmy Spring™ product line. Both spring types provide precisely controllable latching and locking functionality, but the Enforcer's design enables it to offer forces 10X higher than the Tinmy Spring.
Results of insertion and removal cycle testing on an Enforcer high force canted coil spring made from a nickel-based alloy material. The 1-in. ID spring was mounted in a groove on a 1.5-in. piston. Insertion values dropped dramatically after initial cycle, and removal forces decreased much more gradually. Testing indicated stabilization of removal forces beyond five cycles. Note: values are dependent upon specific spring design.
Typical Applications
Our Enforcer high force canted coil spring answers a growing demand for more cost-effective high force latching options in:
- Downhole tools (LWD/MWD, plug setting, retrieval) and subsea valves used in oil and gas operations
- Surgical tools
- Aerospace equipment (cargo retention, aircraft tug tow bars)
- Maritime/shipbuilding equipment

As an essential part of Student Leadership, you have a responsibility to develop and exhibit mature Christian behavior. This should be the basic premise of your desire to participate in this servant-leader position here at Action Church. Student Leadership is apart of the A-Team with all the perks and responsibilities that come with it.
Honor God. When we live a life of integrity, patterned after the life of Christ, we honor God. As Christians, we are adopted as sons and daughters in God's House. As the A-Team, we are appointed as leaders in God's House.
1 Peter 2:12 (NIV) - Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.
Exemplifying the highest moral commitment, Action's leaders are to maintain a disciplined life of Bible reading, prayer, and fasting. You must also refrain from such things as:
- Excessive Profanity
- Drink under aged
- Dishonest gain
- Illegal drugs
- Pornography
- Sexual immorality – any sexual act outside of the context of Biblical marriage
- All behaviors which might cause Christ to grieve and others to stumble
- By being a Christ-like example, we encourage others to grow in Christ and become servant-leaders themselves. This is a way of life measured by the heart and commitment of each leader in the Action Church family. We should regard it as an essential part of our development, not as an imposition or restriction.
Honor His House. Honor the way God directs us to build His House. In1 Timothy, Paul provides a description of the character that is to be exhibited in Church leaders. Not perfection — character. And he instructs us to give a "close examination" of people before we appoint them as leaders (A-Team). Action Church has implemented the Honor Code as a tool in building a healthy Church.
Ephesians 5.27 (NLT) - He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.
Supporting Biblical marriage
Matthew 19:4-6 (NIV) - 4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
Honoring the leadership of the church
Hebrews 13:17 "Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you."
Honor His people. To do this, we need to know who and where people are. Though each of us comes into God's House wounded, God irons out every blemish and wrinkle in order to present us to Himself holy and spotless.
Romans 14:19 (Ph) - So let us concentrate on the things which make for harmony, and on the growth of our fellowship together.
As Christians, the way we present ourselves to others is of vital importance to the way others perceive Christ. Our conduct should never be an embarrassment to Christ, but should exemplify the best qualities of a mature believer and servant-leader.

Fakear Announces Australian & NZ Tour
Niche is excited to welcome Fakear to Australia and New Zealand for the very first time. Fakear aka Theo Le Vigoureux is the brightest star of France's electronic new wave whose music sits somewhere on the axis linking Jamie XX, Bonobo and Daft Punk.
In a career that's still only just getting underway, Fakear has had a top 10 EP in France, attracted public calls from MIA to collaborate, remixed ODESZA and sold out Paris' legendary Olympia. As well as blowing fans away at Eurosonic, being booked for the USA's Ultra Festival, having his single 'Venus' premiered on The FADER and can count BBC Radio 1's dance music luminary Annie Mac as a supporter.
All of which has culminated to the release of his debut album, 'Animal' as well as his brand new EP 'Karmaprana'. Fakear has crafted a collection of songs that push the emotional capabilities of electronic music another step forward. Taking in richly textured, bleeding edge electronica (Sheer-Khan, Animal), deep, downtempo soul (Silver, feat Rae Morris, Animal) and the ear-grabbing groove and infectious melody of the album's title track, it's clear that he blends songs together with irresistible warms.
At 24 years of age, Fakear has already taken his globally-tuned dance music across the world, playing shows from London to Tokyo as well as supporting Bonobo and ODESZA across the USA. Now the producer is on his way to Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne to show audiences what all the hype is about!

Exclusively Wynn
When you have the largest Rolls-Royce feet in North America, it's not just about the cars—it's about the ride.
Wynn orders the Phantom EWB (extended wheel base) to allow more cabin room for guests.
Pull up to the porte cochere at Wynn or Encore and you will more than likely see shining examples of the hotels' multi-million-dollar Rolls-Royce collection, scheduled to reach 14 by the close of 2015. Wynn loyalists and high-stakes gamers know what it's like to be driven around in one of the world's most treasured vehicles— by a veteran chauffeur who has gone through the Wynn specialized training program. "We're taught to chauffeur thousands of different people a year—everyone from a Japanese businessman who's just flown in from Tokyo to a 21-year-old DJ fresh off the plane from Los Angeles," says Troy Mitchum, Wynn's Executive Director of Guest Services.
Subtle elements of the training add invisibly to the quality of a ride in a Wynn Rolls-Royce—not even the driver's seat is neglected. "You'll notice that we sit higher up in the Phantom than in more traditional cars," Mitchum adds. "This contributes to a very steady ride for clients. And because of the car's construction, we can maintain Rolls-Royce's famous 'magic carpet ride' even at accelerated speeds on the highway."
According to David Hughes, a member of the Rolls-Royce driving team, the Phantom (which is built with the frame of a Formula 1 race car) goes above and beyond the company's other offerings: "The architecture is different; its dimensions are larger. Because the doors are hinged at their backs, they open to full views. Before stepping into the car, you take in the backseat, complete with shiny woodwork and plush leather seats. The Phantom is a beautiful thing and, for many of us, seen so rarely."
Prior to each guest's ride, the car's interior is prepared so that every amenity is set to its least intrusive position: vents and mirrors are centered, buttons are pushed in, ashtray tops are down. "It allows your guests to see the car in its most attractive, most pristine form," says Mitchum. "Otherwise it's like a small stain marring a beautiful designer suit."
Rolls-Royce vehicles have exuded luxury since 1907, when Charles Rolls and Sir Henry Royce produced their first Silver Ghost, establishing the company's claim to make "the best car in the world." As its vehicles have improved over the years, that assertion has grown even more unassailable. In the 1950s, Rolls-Royce replaced Daimler as the automobile of choice for British royalty. In the 1960s, John Lennon adorned his Phantom V with a psychedelic paint job, while stars like Omar Sharif and Ingrid Bergman opted for more traditional colors. In the ensuing decades, there were sporty models, sexy convertibles, and even some that came with realistic galaxies shimmering on the roof's interior.
But for purists, the Phantom is in a category all its own. "It's the world's highest-echelon vehicle and embodies the same sort of standards that get emphasized at Wynn and Encore," says Mitchum. "Our fleet of Phantoms represents the two hotels, and they all have to be perfect."

So with season 1 of the Drew Carson Show coming to an end in the coming weeks, Oct 30th being last show of the season, I have been thinking back over the show's humble origins and how it has grown. I have many friends telling me I'm crazy to have a 2 month Hiatus from the show while it is drawing the strong numbers that it is at the present but I feel the show needs to constantly adapt and change as do I. For that to happen I need to book my guests further in advance than I have in the past. I have been so blessed to have had the success with the calibre of guests that have said yes to the mad Scotsman asking them on social media to appear on a podcast they have not heard of but I need to adapt that also and approach potential guests through agents and publicists also.
I also need to take the time to finish my novel as I have fallen behind and my word count has plummeted in recent weeks. I need to push through the dreck of drab to find my writer's voice once again and complete this story so I can release it into the world and set my mind free to concatenated on my next novel, the first in a trilogy of stories.
So after October 30th the show will be off air until January 9th but there will be content on the blog each week. I will be writing a weekly diary of how the writing is going, the editing process and selecting my beta readers. I will be keeping you up to date with all things show related including exclusive guest announcements and info. So thank you all for being such a huge part of this show and I look forward to bringing you exciting guests come season 2 in January.

TROY, NY — New and horrifying details have emerged related to the murders of an upstate mother, her two children and her domestic partner whose bodies were found in a basement in upstate New York.
Related: Cabin In The Woods — Who Killed The Sharp Family?
Multiple law enforcement sources said that the victims were all bound — with their throats slashed — when they were found on Tuesday, according to the Albany Times Union.
The victims of the quadruple homicide have been identified as an 11-year-old boy, a 5-year-old girl, a 22-year-old woman, and a 36-year-old woman. Police said that the two children belong to one of the women, and that the other adult female was her domestic partner.
Authorities are not releasing their identities pending notification of relatives.
The family lived in Troy's Lansingburgh neighborhood, which runs along the Hudson River. In a televised news conference, Troy Police Chief James Tedesco said:
"After being in this business for nearly 42 years, I can say I have not seen savagery like this. Only a person of savagery would do something like this."
Police have not revealed how the victims were killed – but autopsies are expected to provide more details.
A local pastor told the Times Union that an older son, who is related to the two children, was not home when the killings occurred.
The killings have terrified the local community, where many residents knew the family.
Related: The Gatton Murders — A Look Back at an Unsolved Triple Family Homicide
Albany's Victory Christian Church is offering a $5,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer or killers.
Chief Tedesco pledged the department's complete and unwavering commitment to this case, stating:
"This is not a random act. I can only ask that if you know anything, please call us. … [T]here's not a resource we won't tap. This will be a full-court press until somebody's brought to justice."

Jena Peace Community [Friedensgemeinschaft] (May 19, 1983)
On March 18, 1983, around 30 members of the Jena Peace Community took part in a demonstration to commemorate the bombing of Jena during the Second World War. Security forces attacked the protestors and destroyed their homemade posters. In the course of "Operation Counterstrike," the Stasi systematically crushed the Jena Peace Community: 40 people who had applied for permission to travel abroad were expelled to the Federal Republic. Just one day after the start of the Stasi operation, members of the Peace Community joined a Free German Youth demonstration against NATO armament policies, again displaying their own posters. In this photograph, Stasi and police forces try to seize a poster from Peace Community member Roland Jahn. In June 1983, Jahn was deported to the West against his will.

Gender-divided events divide students
Students elected to represent women and diversity issues are divided about whether gender-segregated events should be allowed on campus, aTimes Higher Education survey suggests.
Asked if they would support student societies asking for segregation based on a variety of factors, including gender, less than half of the 17 respondents said that such requests should always be refused.
The issue came to the fore recently when Universities UK published advice suggesting that a religious speaker's freedom of expression might be infringed if a request for gender segregation were not accommodated.
Some respondents to the THE survey expressed concern that criticism of gender segregation could be oppressive to minority groups.
Joe Killen, welfare and diversity officer at the students' union for Goldsmiths, University of London, cited segregation's importance in political movements. "It would be inappropriate of us to say that our students do not have the right to draw the parameters of the spaces they need," he said. "Further, it is dangerous to civil liberties in the UK to deny right to assembly for certain campus groups based on their members' shared minority status."
Replying to the survey on behalf of the women's officer at King's College London Students' Union, Shaheen Sattar, a National Union of Students delegate, said the "stench of Islamophobia" had been "masked with feminism" in politicians' criticisms of gender segregation.

Love Island 2018: Caroline Flack issues WARNING to Laura and Paul - did you spot this?
Love Island 2018: Caroline Flack issues WARNING to Laura and Paul - did you spot this?
LOVE ISLAND sadly came to an end last night but it wasn't without drama. In one blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, Caroline Flack gave Laura Anderson and Paul Knops a joke warning.
Laura Anderson and Paul Knops defied the odds last night by making it to the top two in the Love Island 2018 final.
They lost out on the crown to Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham but it seems they have an exciting future together in the future.
And they discussed their ongoing relationship last night as they spoke to host Caroline Flack.
The presenter, 38, made an accidental quip on them being in love, of which Laura speedily corrected.
Paul laughed as he agreed with Laura who said Caroline was just like her dad who urged him to ask his daughter out.
But Caroline was quick to warn the couple not to "rush into anything".
This latest advice comes just weeks after her split from fiancé Andrew Brady.
The pair were planning to wed but their relationship fell through and viewers thought they spotted her looking "emotional" when she discussed break-ups on Love Island.
One said: "Did anyone else notice Caroline getting emotional there? Must be really hard presenting a show about love when you've just split up with your fiancé."
Another spotted: "Aww Caroline getting emotional."(sic)
Love Island 2018: The most talked about moments
A third wondered: "Was Caroline getting emotional then?!"
Yesterday's final was certainly an eventful one, with Wes Nelson baffling viewers when they spotted his Salsa talent.
The islanders could be seen lining up alongside the pool for the quick tutorial.
As they got down to learning the moves for the seriously sexy dance, Wes Nelson wasted no time in showing off his talent.
The 20-year-old appeared pretty confident as he shook his hips with girlfriend Megan Barton Hanson.
Love Island 2018: Caroline Flack presented the final last night and crowned Jack and Dani
However, as he showcased his moves, viewers noticed something about Wes which tickled them.
Many rushed to Twitter to comment on Wes' moves as he jumped during one part of the routine.
"LOOOL was that Wes jumping like a Titan?! #LoveIsland," one viewer noted.
Another asked: "Did anyone else just see Wes just jump like a frog? #loveisland."
Love Island Final is available to watch on the ITV Hub.

People love my life. No seriously...I don't say that in some fancy pants "I'm so awesome people love me" kind of way. I mean they love my life...as in they LOVE to talk about it. Now I'm sure a lot of that comes from the fact that I say what I mean, and I'm very open with everything going on in my life. There really aren't any secrets, and holy crap are people eager to throw stones when you point out your own downfalls and shortcomings.
Anyways...as those who know me are aware...I'm a psychology major putting herself through school by working as an insurance agent. I coach gymnastics and Mock Trial...and I also recently took on a new job. It's the favorite job I've had so far, and it doesn't pay. At least not in money. It does pay in hugs, smiles, and time with a really awesome kid. Lately...the new job I've picked up is step mom. Now, let's be clear first...I'm not officially anyone's step parent. Nick and I haven't made anything legal...but saying "I'm the girlfriend of a guy with a child" doesn't explain what our lives entail anymore.
But spending so much time with the little one lately has hit me hard on occasion. Doing things with her and watching her interact with Nick makes my days better. I find myself scolding or joking and sounding EXACTLY like my mother (mom you'd be proud)...and other times I find myself maybe being too strict or too nervous. And it's those times that I have to check myself...and make sure I push my father's thoughts out of my head.
We went to Cirque De Soleil last weekend and took the munchkin. I went with both of my parents as a child...and I remember the experiences and how different they were. When I went with my mom, we dressed up, she did my hair, and the whole night was like a fairy tale (it helped that we were traveling abroad at the time). If I remember correctly, I even got to wear little heels for the evening. When I went with my father, I wasn't allowed to do anything. Heaven forbid I put chapstick on in front of my father and he would have a massive conniption. I couldn't wear nail polish, and I just remember feeling inadequate when we got there. It wasn't a fun experience for me...I just remember it being stressful. Now, most of that had nothing to do with what I was wearing or how I looked...but just the overall feeling of stress and discomfort my father brought to my life.
So to get back to my original point...we took the munchkin with us to the show on Friday...and we all decided to dress up for it. She didn't have anything "fancy" with her...so I let her wear one of my small dresses (and yes...she fit into it really well...I don't want to talk about it)...I did her hair, and then she asked for makeup. Let's be honest, my first reaction was um NO you're ten. But then I remembered being her age. I wanted to wear makeup, and the answer at my father's house was absolutely not. My mom would let me experiment with it...but I would go nuts when he wasn't around. Metallic colors all over my face. I thought the more I put on...the better it looked. When in reality, I looked like a 12 year old prostitute...who didn't have a mirror.
I changed my mind. There were rules...where if daddy or I thought it was too much she had to take it off, etc...but I let her put it on. And a funny thing happened after I did my own makeup...she asked if I would do it for her. So I did. She sat up on our bed, and I ran brushes over her face (with little to no REAL makeup on them)...put a tiny bit of blush on her cheeks, and then brushed a tiny bit of mascara on her little lashes.
She ran around that night like a princess. You could tell she FELT pretty. She was actually better behaved than usual...a little more mature. She was being treated like an adult for the night...and she showed it. We let her drink pop (a rare thing at our house)...got candy for the show...did things that we wouldn't usually encourage. And she didn't disappoint. She didn't get crazy hyper and "sugar high"...instead she took everything in all night. Her eyes were double their normal size during the show...and she loved the walk through the city lights we took afterwards. We went home, she changed, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and was off to bed. She's always well behaved...but it was almost a different child that night. She looked, and behaved like a little adult.
The next day someone made a comment about how we shouldn't let a child wear makeup. How she was up "too late," etc. And honestly, the only words I could think of at the time were incredibly mature..."shove it". She had fun and got to pretend to be an adult. She can be a kid every day...but she got to play dress up for a night. She got special privileges, and she handled it exceptionally well. I see nothing wrong with that, and no one is going to change my opinion on the topic.
The title of this blog is all about how I do things that piss people off, how I really don't care, and why I do it. So let's see. I'm a conservative, pro-lifer, that owns a gun, says what she means, and doesn't apologize for any of it. I cut people out of my life without warning when they hurt me or those that I love. I speak out about anything I feel is wrong or unjust...and I don't care about who doesn't like it. I act quickly on things...sometimes too quickly...but I take the consequences in stride. Oh...and I let our ten year old wear makeup.
Who is anyone to tell me that's wrong?

It's Easter, and I haven't posted any blogs since January! I have noticed over the last 3 years that I seem to have a flurry of blogging activity at this time of year and I guess it's because I usually have a holiday and that allows me to get back onto it! I start out with such good intentions at the beginning of every year and then…well you know how it is don't you? Anyway, I'm back and with a blog post that I hope you will like.
Any of you who follow my Facebook Page will know that I have been posting quite a lot about Scottish sculptor, Andy Scott's latest instillation – The Kelpies. Some of you have possibly already encountered these astounding structures if you have travelled along the M9 in the last 12 months. However this weekend marked the International launch of The Kelpies as part of the John Muir Festival 2014. The John Muir Festival had a huge number of events on from the 17-26th of April to celebrate the life of John Muir and his works as a conservationist and father of National Parks. The festival also marked the opening of the John Muir Way…the latest path network to traverse from Muir's birthplace in Dunbar right across to Helensburgh and is poignant as it opens a century after Muir's death. I once walked some of the John Muir Way in Yosemite National Park in California and I'm sure to frequent this pathway which is somewhat closer to home!
And that leads me nicely back to The Kelpies and their International Launch event which was aptly called Home. Towering above the Forth & Clyde Canal within Helix Park in Falkirk, these phenomenal structures dominate both the skyline and their immediate surroundings with awesome power and grace. Standing at 30 meters and each weighing in at over 300 tonnes they truly are a master of art and engineering. I had managed to get tickets for the evening performance of Home which was a 90 minute walking, light and pyrotechnic show produced by the well known Group F, who are renowned for their illuminating magic of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. However I decided to get myself down there early in the day so that I could experience these creatures through the lights of day and night. I don't think anything could have prepared me for their beauty. To be honest I was insanely excited, so with my flask of soup & oatcakes and kitted out with my camera and tripod I was off! I spent 5 hours around them soaking in their magnificence before being moved along as they prepared for the evening light show.
So allow me to take you on a journey around The Kelpies. I have documented the day shots here and have created a short You Tube film of the light show which you can see at the end. I hope you enjoy them and that you have had a wonderful Easter weekend. And if you get a chance you really should go….they will blow your mind :) As always I love to know what you think, Jacqui xx

Malta-based creative agency BRND WGN is not only an official Google partner but is now also ISO-certified.
Best known for producing a series of viral videos for Air Malta, BRND WGN works with many of Malta's top brands including Cisk, Malta International Airport, Alberta, Agenda, Eurosport, The Point, Liquigas, Midi and Calamatta Cuschieri.
BRND WGN started as a one-man operation providing strategic consultancy but has now grown into a fully-integrated creative agency employing 29 people – more than a third of whom were employed within the last 12 months.
It is managed by three directors: CEO Peter Grech, who founded the company in 2007, Kris Vella Petroni, a former senior designer at top UK agency Volume who now heads the creative team, and Chris Knights, who heads the digital team.
"Creative agencies like us often come across as a bit kooky but our latest achievements show that there is method to the BRND WGN madness," said CEO Peter Grech.
"ISO-9001 certification was an important milestone for us because it confirms that our processes are efficient, successful and internationally recognised."
ISO-9000 is a family of standards of quality management systems designed to help companies meet the needs of customers and other interested parties.
Earlier this year, BRND WGN also became an official Google partner and has invested strongly in its digital arm with the recruitment of a digital analyst dedicated to ensuring the success of online campaigns.
BRND WGN has been a pioneer in online marketing, producing Twitter's first paid-for campaign in Malta.
The campaign for Air Malta's 25% Off seat sale, saw the airline automatically responding directly to people who tweeted about wanting to travel. It targeted potential customers by responding in real time with tweets referring to the current temperature in Malta for those looking for sunshine and beaches.
This year BRND WGN also set up a PR and Social Media Team specialising in brand journalism. The team is headed by former Times of Malta journalist Christian Peregin.

Pondering her propensity to pick perfect peppers for pickling,
she perused the practicality of protecting her plants from pestulance.
Pinpointing the perilous problems with propietary pesticides,
she prepared for a positive part by patiently pandering to paradise.
Proclaiming a plan to promote predators to pursue prying pests,
she pragmatically produced persistence prior to prominent plucking.
Pausing to position her posse,
she proposed a party at her place.

Poem: Spiralling dust
Love me
Kill me
Take me to Hell
Take me to Heaven
As long as it is forever
If death is the neutrality of feelings
Then I'd rather be dead
Than know nothing
Chanting a hymn
Wanting to sing a ballad
Being with you
Wanting to be with him
Sometimes being bad
Almost going mad
And wishing to be dead
To be dust
To be something
Wanting someone to trust
And just feel like flying...

August 2012. After a day in Ulan-Baater I spontaneously decided to go on a trip to the Gobi desert with some people I met at the first night in my little home stay style hostel. Why not I think, I got three weeks and no plans except for wanting to try fermented horse milk, buy a Morin Khuur (horse fiddle) and get to know Mongolia…
After an almost 17-hours long bus ride overnight I not only felt closer to my newfound travel buddies but also pretty knackered when we finally arrived in the dusty little town of Dalanzadgad, the capital of Ömnögovi Aimag (county). Our tired group of Ruben (French) and Vlad (Slovakian) and Chrissie and Sebs (two other Germans), dragged itself to the next café to eat one of the three available dishes from the 20-items menu. People
With a lot of miming, some luck and a few drawings Vlad and Ruben managed to hire a car and driver for our trip to the Gobi. After the bumpy bus ride it felt almost luxurious to be squeezed into a normal car with six people.
Five hours and several camel herds later we arrived in Hongerin Els, a part of the Gobi that amazes with its vast emptiness and its up to 188 metres high dunes.
We stayed in two yurts belonging to a family of nomads that were friends with our driver, Singhe. After a round of Airag (fermented mares milk) and some home made, quite sour tasting cheese we were shown to our gers (yurts) and happily flopped down for a meal of mutton.
The next day we went out into the dunes. Just walking until lunch, when we left Vladimir behind and returned to the ger for some delicious Boos (mutton dumplings). After lunch Singhe drove us to one of the highest dunes and with a few bottles of water and some snacks we made our way onto the top of the dunes.
The next day, Ruben, Vladimir and I went for another climb through the dunes. After a few minutes it was quite clear, we had picked a challenging day for a hike in the Gobi.
The wind was blowing the sand so harshly at us that it seemed almost like a purposeful attack from nature. I breathed so much sand my nose started bleeding after we returned to the camp. The view was still amazing though when we finally stood on the highest dune we could find.
There is something very satisfying about climbing up somewhere. It's not just the amazing view in a landscape empty of most human life but also the process of conquering a place. Sweating, being thirsty and exhausted and then reaching the top of the dune is oddly fulfilling. In short – climbing up stuff is brilliant!
After another lunch of, guess what, mutton, we jumped, well okay, slowly climbed, onto camels owned by our new nomadic friends. Riding a camel is a little bit like being on a small boat with a lot of very regular waves. Except for that your seat isn't too comfortable, especially if you're a man.
Swaying through the Gobi on our camels, singing a few songs and watching the sun slowly set was another highlight of our trip. Especially when we came close to a herd of young camels, who saw us and started to gallop towards us in surprising speed.
Our camels became almost as nervous as ourselves. Our guide who was holding our leashes handed me over the collective arrangement of leashes, including the one for his own camel, to chase away the young camels, yelling 'shu' and throwing some stones.
It is very fitting that Mongolian horses and probably also camels are only trained to know the word 'go' and not 'stop'. That 'go' I think is also used for 'go away'. Luckily, after a few more attempts to attack us, the youngsters gave up and we comfortably rode back to the ger camp.

Costa Mesa city administrators on Tuesday recommended funding only a fraction of a proposal to revamp the athletics field at Costa Mesa High School from the next fiscal year's budget.
The recommendation surprised some of the project's supporters, but city officials said the $500,000 planned to be appropriated in the 2013-14 fiscal year is just the beginning of their contribution toward the total cost.
In March, Costa Mesa proposed paying $3.5 million to build a new football field and track at Mesa, but did not pledge to fund the expense all at once.

Two of my most anticipated this year are from my metal favourites Opeth and Mastodon who are both releasing new albums this fall.
Today both bands released the first songs from their respective albums.
Here you'll find Opeth's song "The Devil's Orchard" from the upcoming album "Heritage", which will feature only clean singing. The second album Opeth has released without growls.
And here's the new Mastodon track:

This is an old catch-up post. Remember that deal through YourGiftCards.com, where you get paid $50 to buy an Entertainment Book (which only cost me $25 to buy)? Well, here's the proof that this deal isn't a scam. As you can see, the check is dated 12/07/07. I ordered the book on 11/07/07, so it took exactly one month from start to finish. Not bad for $25 profit! I've already used several coupons out of the book too.
You can still take advantage of this deal, by the way. Phoenix books are now on sale for $10 off the retail price, which makes them $20, PLUS you get a free $25 restaurant.com certificate. Also, there are other offers (like NetFlix or Blockbuster), where you can make $50 for signing up as well. I highly recommend YourGiftCards.com!
