Toyota is finally seeing an end to the shortage of Priuses that has plagued American dealerships since the Japanese tsunami in March, the Daily Breeze reports.
The devastating 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami disrupted factories in Japan as it ripped through the country and destroyed villages. As a result, American Toyota manufacturers were unable to get the auto parts they needed to make the cars, vastly slowing production and rising prices of the cars in the U.S.
However, Toyota plans to deliver 36,000 Prius cars to U.S. dealerships throughout the summer, the news source reported. Car dealers are rejoicing at the news. Gas prices that are climbing into the $4 range have increased demand for high-efficiency and hybrid vehicles, according to Bill Coyne, the vice president and general manager at South Bay Toyota in Gardena, California.
Coyne said that over the past few months, many people have come into the dealership wanting a Prius. The company has been short on the cars, however, starting May with only enough cars for 10 days of sales.
Now that the Toyota hybrids are back on the market, many people will likely take out bad credit auto loans in order to finance this gas-saving purchase.

Remarks by Senator Sanders to the National Urban League
Prepared Remarks
I thank you for inviting me to be with you today and I thank you for the work you continue to do as leaders for civil rights and advocates for urban America.
For over 100 years, the National Urban League has been a resource to me and other progressive policymakers, providing research and policy recommendations to address the most significant urban problems that you and I care so deeply about. And when public policy has not kept pace with the needs of urban communities, you have never waited for someone else to do the hard work. You have rolled up your sleeves and helped people, one by one, through direct service to millions of Americans.
You have provided job training, helped small businesses to secure financing and contracts, and you have helped families with the counseling they need to realize the American dream of home ownership, just to name a few or your important programs. I commend you for your important work.
I would like to begin my remarks by quoting Marc (Morial, the President and CEO of the National Urban League), from your recent report on the 2015 State of Black America.
Few times in our nation's history is the conscience of its citizens shocked and awakened across racial, economic, generational, and even ideological lines. These are the times when the collective consciousness of a people unapologetically screams that it's time for change – and that it must start today.
I could not agree more.
In my view, the American people are sick and tired of establishment politics, establishment economics and the establishment media telling us that it is impossible to bring about real change. They are sick and tired of the establishment telling them that we cannot afford to make it easier for families to send their kids to college; that we cannot afford to create the millions of jobs that the American people, particularly young African Americans, desperately need; that we cannot guarantee healthcare as a right of citizenship to all Americans; that we cannot expand Social Security and lift millions of senior citizens out of poverty; that we cannot provide free and universal childcare to all of our children; and that it is just too hard to end structural racism and reform our criminal justice system.
I don't believe that for a second, and neither should you. But, in my view, the only way we can bring about real change in this country is to build a political revolution of millions of Americans who are prepared to stand up and fight back against the establishment and the billionaire class and say enough is enough!
No, we will not give tax breaks to billionaires when children in this country are going hungry!
No, we will not tolerate racist police officers shooting black men in the back or yanking black women out of their cars for minor traffic violations. You know and I know that Sandra Bland would be alive today if she was a middle class white woman. That is unacceptable and that has got to change! We have got to say loudly and clearly that we will no longer tolerate police brutality in this country! We have got to come together as a nation and work to eliminate structural racism in this country.
Before I go any further, let me take a moment to let you know a little bit about my background. I was mayor of Burlington, Vermont, from 1981-1989, Vermont's lone congressman from 1990-2006 and a U.S. senator from Vermont from 2007 until today.
I was born in Brooklyn, New York. My father came to this country from Poland at the age of 17 without a penny in his pocket and without much of an education. My mother graduated from high school in New York City. My father worked for almost his entire life as a paint salesman and we lived with my brother in a small rent-controlled apartment. My mother's dream was to move out of that three-room apartment into a home of our own. She died young and her dream was never fulfilled. As a kid I learned what lack of money means to a family, a lesson I have never forgotten.
When I was a young college student, I came to Washington, D.C., to participate in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. I heard the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., deliver his famous speech, and he inspired me, just as he inspired a whole generation – black and white – to get involved in the civil rights movement. In Chicago, I worked for housing desegregation and was arrested protesting public school segregation. During that time I was active in the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), which was headed up by the late James Farmer.
Let me take this opportunity to quote from an excellent article by the columnist Eugene Robinson which appeared in the Washington Post:
As we celebrate King's great achievement and sacrifice, it is wrong to round off the sharp edges of his legacy. He saw inequality as a fundamental and tragic flaw in this society, and he made clear in the weeks leading up to his assassination that economic issues were becoming the central focus of his advocacy.
What Dr. King saw in 1968 — and what we all should recognize today — is that it is not enough to address race alone without also taking on the larger issue of inequality. Let us not forget that when Dr. King was assassinated he was fighting to improve the wages and working conditions of sanitation workers who were on strike in Memphis, Tennessee.
As Dr. King said:
Now our struggle is for genuine equality, which means economic equality. For we know that it isn't enough to integrate lunch counters. What does it profit a man to be able to eat at an integrated lunch counter if he doesn't earn enough money to buy a hamburger and a cup of coffee?
Sadly, in too many respects, what Dr. King said back then still rings true today.
Today, we live in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, but that reality means little because almost all of that wealth is controlled by a tiny handful of individuals. America now has more income and wealth inequality than any major country on earth, and the gap between the very rich and everyone else is wider than at any time since the 1920s. The issue of wealth and income inequality and the issue of racial inequality are the great moral issues of our time, they are the great economic issues of our time and they are the great political issues of our time.
There is something profoundly wrong when the top one-tenth of one percent owns almost as much wealth as the bottom ninety percent, and when 58 percent of all new income goes to the top one percent. There is something profoundly wrong when we have a proliferation of millionaires and billionaires at the same time as millions of Americans work longer hours for lower wages and we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country on earth.
There is something profoundly wrong when nearly 40 percent of black children in America live in poverty. It is a national disgrace that one family owns more wealth than the bottom 130 million Americans. This grotesque level of inequality is immoral. It is bad economics. It is unsustainable. This type of rigged economy is not what America is supposed to be about. This has got to change.
We need to simultaneously address the structural and institutional racism which exists in this country, while at the same time we vigorously attack the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality which is making the very rich much richer while everyone else – especially the African-American community, the Hispanic community, and working-class whites – are becoming poorer.
I'd like to talk for a moment about the continuing struggle for racial justice in America and the need to combat structural racism. Let's start with the facts. The horrible facts.
- If current trends continue, one in four black males born today can expect to spend time in prison during their lifetime. This is an unspeakable tragedy.
- Blacks are imprisoned at six times the rate of whites.
- A report by the Department of Justice found that blacks were three times more likely to be searched during a traffic stop, compared to white motorists.
- African-Americans are twice as likely to be arrested and almost four times as likely to experience the use of force during encounters with the police.
- Thirteen percent of African-American men have lost the right to vote due to felony convictions.
Too many African-Americans today, especially in our urban centers, are simultaneously having to deal with the crisis of racial injustice while coping with the effects of poverty and economic deprivation, such as drugs, crime, and despair.
Across the nation, too many African-Americans and other minorities find themselves subjected to a system that treats citizens who have not committed crimes like criminals. A growing number of communities do not trust the police and the police have become disconnected from the communities they are sworn to protect.
We must reform our criminal justice system. Black lives do matter. And we must value black lives.
We must move away from the militarization of police forces. We must invest in community policing. We need a federal initiative to completely redo how we train police officers in this country and give them body cameras.
It is an obscenity that we stigmatize so many young Americans with a criminal record for smoking marijuana, but not one major Wall Street executive has been prosecuted for causing the near collapse of our entire economy. This must change.
It is morally repugnant and a national tragedy that we have privatized prisons all over America. In my view, corporations should not be allowed to make a profit by building more jails and keeping more Americans behind bars. We have got to end the private-for-profit prison racket in America!
The measure of success for law enforcement should not be how many people get locked up. We need to invest in drug courts and medical and mental health interventions for people with substance abuse problems, so that people struggling with addiction do not end up in prison, they end up in treatment.
For people who have committed crimes that have landed them in jail, there needs to be a path back from prison. The federal system of parole needs to be reinstated. We need real education and real skills training for the incarcerated.
We must end the over incarceration of non-violent young Americans who do not pose a serious threat to our society. It is an international embarrassment that we have more people locked up in jail than any other country on earth – more than even the Communist totalitarian state of China. That has got to end. Instead of spending money on jails and incarceration, we should be investing in jobs and education!
That's why I have introduced legislation with Congressman John Conyers to put 1 million disadvantaged young Americans to work by investing $5.5 billion on a youth jobs program.
And I have also introduced legislation to invest $1 trillion over a five year period in a major jobs program to put 13 million Americans to work rebuilding our roads, bridges, public transportation, subways, airports, sewers, and Broadband. If we can spend trillions of dollars on an unnecessary and misguided war in Iraq, we ought to be able to invest $1 trillion rebuilding our cities and towns.
We must keep kids in school. We must ensure that children graduate from high school and don't drop out. This is a complicated problem and I'm not going to stand here and say I have all the answers.
But one thing that will help kids stay in school is if they have a belief that they will be able to get a college education. For too many families, college seems like an impossibility. We have got to change that. We need to give our children, regardless of their race or their income, a fair shot at attending college. That's why I have introduced legislation to make all public colleges and universities tuition free. And, do you know how we're going to pay for that? We're going to pay for that by imposing a tax on Wall Street speculation.
Let us not forget: It was the greed, recklessness, and illegal behavior on Wall Street that nearly drove the economy off of the cliff seven years ago. Millions of Americans lost their jobs, homes, life savings, and ability to send their kids to college. African Americans who were steered into expensive subprime mortgages were the hardest hit.
If we could bail out Wall Street seven years ago, we have got to make sure that every qualified American, regardless of income, can go to college without going into debt. And, Wall Street has a responsibility to pay for that.
And, if we are serious about saving our cities, we have got to increase the wages of the American people.
Today, millions of Americans are now working for totally inadequate wages. The current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is a starvation wage and must be raised. The minimum wage must become a living wage – which means raising it to $15 an hour by 2020. The benchmark of full time work in America should be simple and concrete – that no full-time worker should live in poverty.
And a living wage should not only be fair, it should be equitable. That is why we must establish pay equity for women workers by law. It's unconscionable that black women earn 64 cents on the dollar compared to white men.
The United States remains the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care for all as a right. Despite the gains of the Affordable Care Act, 35 million Americans continue to lack health insurance and many more are under-insured. Yet, we continue paying far more per capita for health care than any other nation. The United States must join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a right by moving toward a Medicare-for-All single-payer system.
In conclusion, I believe the time has come to say loudly and clearly: enough is enough. This great nation and its government belong to all of the people, and not to a handful of billionaires, their Super-PACs and their lobbyists.
Now is not the time for thinking small. Now is not the time for the same-old, same-old establishment politics and stale inside-the-beltway ideas.
Now is the time for millions of working families – black and white, Latino and Native American, gay and straight – to come together, to revitalize American democracy, to end the collapse of the American middle class and to make certain that our children and grandchildren are able to enjoy a quality of life that brings them health, prosperity, security and joy – and that once again makes the United States the leader in the world in the fight for economic and social justice, for environmental sanity and for a world of peace.

Jane Marshall, Manager at Co-operative Funeralcare, said: "Earlier this year I contacted Shameem Hudson, Head of East House at Unity College, and offered for one of our silver chauffeur-driven Mercedes limousines to convey one of their students, and five friends, to their prom and arrive in style.
"Unity College nominated a student and then we got thinking that we could do more.
"So Co-operative Funeralcare staff in Burnley and Brierfield got on the phones and we arranged for the lucky student to have a free make-over."
Ambia's hair was done at Style Residence on Keirby Walk; her make-up and nails were courtesy of Fantasia on Lyndhurst Road and flower bracelets for all six students were donated by Daisy Chain in Burnley.

little boys and long locks
Up untill a little while ago Caden had adorable blonde curls that only run on Jason's side. That kind of cute, wispy hair that got him called a girl quite often even if he was dressed in obviously boyish attire (like plaid shirts and cargo shorts). That didn't really bother me and I figured he would only get to have this kind of hair for so long so I decide to wait it out...but Jason's persistence won and Caden ended up with his first haircut at a family dinner from my cousin Keri.

Aww, so cute. I left my son's hair until he was two and once we cut it the curls never came back. But fresh cut hair on a toddler is adorable ;)ReplyDelete
He's very sweet with his new haircut. My little one (who's 7) alternates between short and shaggy. I like both looks! I like the freshness of a new cut but I love the freedom of the shagginess...ReplyDelete
He looks great! Every little boy I know cries so much when they get their hair cut, its so great to see at least one doesnt! It'll give me hope for mine... in the super far future!ReplyDelete

Growing up in the United States, Shiva [the seven day period of mourning] was a serious adult deal, quite formal in its rules and code of behavior. Even when my great-grandfather died, I did not attend the funeral or the Shiva, because it was not a place for children. And I was old enough to know that he was gone.
This past week, the 92 year old father of one of our neighbors died, and the Shiva is taking place quite literally next door. Every time we leave the house to go to school or to ballet, the door is open and the sign on the door declares that this is a house of mourning.
The first day of the Shiva, I told Raphaela that we were going there not to entertain, but to sit quietly and take our cue from our neighbor. If he wanted to talk, fine, and if not we would sit there out of respect. Well, Israel being Israel, Jerusalem being Jerusalem, and this being the Jewish country, apparently the law of One Extended Family applies.
At our first visit, Raphaela spoke less than her normal self, but was still warm and engaging, and as we left, she gave him a big hug. She also left with a glass of juice and piece of cake, kindly given to Raphaela by the mourner's wife. And every day since, every time we pass the door, Raphaela insists upon going inside for even a minute, to say hello and to deliver one of her patented hugs; to show him a shiny rock she has just found, or to perform the dance she has just learned.
My Israeli friends tell me that in this country the process of Shiva is far less formal, and that it is "lovely" that Raphaela has made it her mission to cheer up our mourning neighbor. They cite many examples where the Shiva evolves into a celebration of life and family, a place where smiles and stories are welcome. I am still uncomfortable with the behavior to some degree, it is the stiff New England American in me, despite the 18 plus years I have lived here.
Far be it from me, however, to teach Raphaela that compassion toward another person should be limited, in thought or in deed.

Why is the Odisha Pollution Control Board (OPCB) favouring Hindalco by demeaning its own existence?
In a quite unfortunate development, the Odisha State Pollution Control Board (OPCB) has kept on hold its order of closure of all Captive Power Plant (CPP) units of Hindalco company at Hirakud, whose serial ash mount breach has already put the local people and environment at risk of severe health and environmental hazard. What we could find out from media reports, the OPCB on Friday the 24th August, has eaten up its own decision of complete closure and has allowed the company to run two units of power production. This is complete surrender to the black mailing technique of the private company. Despite closure order of all its power plant units, the company officials never closed all the four units but kept on giving public statements in media that they can't close all the units because that is going to affect the production of the aluminium smelter plant. As per reports available, the company has so far closed only two out of the four units. While the OPCB officials never took action on that, to justify the company's profit interests, they say they have conducted an expert enquiry into the matter now. This expert committee, comprising of an ex-General Manager of Nalco and a professor from IIT Kharagpur, as mentioned in media reports, have reportedly recommended that the smelter plant should not be let closed since it will have severe environmental impacts on the local soil and water. We cannot accept this report for three reasons: 1. Nalco has been a known culprit so far as ash pond breach is concerned and it has several times been shut down by OPCB. So, having an ex-GM of Nalco in the expert committee is a biased act; 2. There is no comparative assessment of damage done by the OPCB between the pollution created by the ash pond breach and that is supposed to be created by the closure of the smelter. Without doing this, no conclusion can be drawn
Water Update II on Hindalco's ash pond breach and resultant negative impacts on local Initiatives agriculture, water bodies, soil, human beings and other species. Odisha 1
about which one is a lesser evil and hence continuing the power plant is not justified; and 3. The so called expert committee has given a 'green' signal to Hindalco's temporary arrangement of ash pond management while the entire closure notice was based on the breach of ash pond and also in response to the temporary and dangerous management of ash mounts by the company, among other things. This hurried act of the OPCB clearly shows that it is not acting as an institution to check pollution but to facilitate pollution and related devastation. We find it laughable stuff when the OPCB says that the current order to hold the closure notice is to check environmental hazards that may occur due to closing down of the smelter. We question, "If there is environmental hazard of even closing down a smelter, why was this not considered by the OPCB while giving the closure notice earlier?" "Further, why at the first instance, such plants are given license to operate, which pollute while running and even after being shut down?", we would like to question. We would also like to ask the OBCB to tell us if it can guarantee that no aluminium smelter of the state will ever be closed because they will have polluting impacts? Further, "Why is the board silent on the remedial measures of closing down a plant and why not they recommend the Hindalco take such measures while shutting down the plant?" We are sure the OPCB cannot guarantee this and hence are sure that the "OPCB is admitting that it has no role to play with pollution control, rather it is there to support private and polluting plants to run at cost of the people and environment of the areas they operate in". It is time the OPCB comes clear on its role or else shuts down because with the recent order it has demeaned its own existence.
Water Update II on Hindalco's ash pond breach and resultant negative impacts on local Initiatives agriculture, water bodies, soil, human beings and other species. Odisha 2
If in reality the institution was concerned about abating pollution, it would have conducted a thorough enquiry about the several ecological dangers of the fly ash mount's breach on local people, crop fields and water bodies rather than rushing for an expert committee visit to justify the plant's smelter to operate. If you have teeth, show it. Close the power plants. Hindalco's loss is not your concern. You are there to check pollution, not to take political decisions. Immediately conduct an open and independent inquiry into the pollution and radiation impacts of the ash pond breach and ban the temporary ash mount arrangements of the company and stop its power plants from operating and polluting further. The OPCB will be held responsible if there is any further breach in the ash mount and related environmental damage done to the crop fields, soil, water bodies and other species due to its recent order.

SQL Server user mode can be defined as
1. Multi user mode
2. Restricted user mode
3. Single user mode
This can be done by simple ALTER DATABSE statements.
In this article I am explaining related to 2 and 3.
In case of Restricted User Mode, when we are going to run maintenance tasks or taking the backup/restore, then we prefer this mode.
SQL Server's restricted access option provides a special access mode that permits multiple connections by users of specific groups. These are users with either of the "sysadmin" or "dbcreator" server roles, or users with the "db_owner" role for the database being modified. Any other users that attempt to connect to the database receive an error.
The simple method is to use this is:
ALTER DATABASE db-name SET RESTRICTED_USER
Failing Immediately When Blocked
If you run the ALTER DATABASE command when it is impossible to switch to restricted access mode, but you do not wish the command to be blocked, you can execute the statement with the NO_WAIT option. This causes the command to fail if the database mode cannot be changed immediately.
ALTER DATABASE db_name SET RESTRICTED_USER WITH NO_WAIT
Forcing Disconnection
In some cases it is appropriate to run the ALTER DATABASE command and allow it to be blocked until all of the non-qualifying users and processes disconnect. For SQL Servers that are used only internally to an organization, each user can be contacted and asked to disconnect. Once they have, the command will complete and restricted access will be auctioned.
In other situations, it may not be possible to request that general users disconnect. In these cases it can be appropriate to automatically disconnect users and to roll back their active transactions. This can be achieved using the ROLLBACK termination clause.
The ROLLBACK clause can be used to immediately disconnect users or can be provided with a number of seconds to pause before the disconnection occurs. To force the immediate disconnection of general users and processes and the rolling back of their transactions, use the following command:
ALTER DATABASE db_name SET RESTRICTED_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
When the data based is used by single user only then this mode is specified. All other users want to connect to the data base get Error.
ALTER DATABASE db-name SET SINGLE_USER

5 Reason To Go See The Avengers
Ok. There are a whole lot of comic books films out the last few years. And now they're rebooting Spiderman. (Really?) So with all these films out it can be hard to want to see any of them unless you're a hardcore comic book fan. I've seen most of them and many of them were ok. Not blow me away fantastic (except maybe the first Iron Man.) So when I heard that Joss Whedon was going to be writing and directing The Avengers, which puts a ton of Marvel characters in one film, I couldn't help but be intrigued. Whedon has a history for making some great sci-fi and has a rabid fan base. (Hello Firefly.)
As I just recently watched The Avengers, in 3D, I couldn't wipe the grin from my face. Not only did Whedon nail it, he seemed to have a great time making the film. Why should you see it?
It's Funny!
Don't worry, I won't give away any spoilers. But I will say this film had me cackling through at least half of it. The chemistry is spot on, especially with Thor and The Hulk and Tony Stark and Capt. America. And it helps that half the cast seems to be taking their roles very seriously and the other half seem to be laughing at some private joke. The results are hilarious moments that are a lot of fun to watch.
Eye Candy for All
It'd be stupid not to acknowledge the fact that this cast is beautiful. From Chris Hemsworth's bronzed god to Scarlett Johansson's full figured beauty, they are a sight to behold. Not that a beautiful cast is always needed, but come on it's certainly enjoyable to watch. Even Mark Ruffalo has a scruffy charm as Dr. Banner/Hulk.
Special FX
I saw the film in 3D, and I'm not usually a fan of 3D but I had passes. And surprisingly it was pretty good! I didn't notice the effects until the last 3rd of the film where it really kicked into high hear with these crazy looking alien ships. Which, by the way, were so brilliantly designed in all their creepy glory. It was like some underwater nightmare. In an age where special effects can be cheesy and over the top, it was refreshing to see them executed with panache and they helped the movie rather than hinder it.
Loki, Loki, Loki
I find it so hard to love a villain. They tend to be either one dimensional and cliche or having to redeem themselves at the end and learn some forced lesson. Not so with the deliciously bad Loki. He has so much pain and bitterness going on it gives him a great backstory. But they let him be bad and wallow in his torment. He doesn't have to have a change of heart and suddenly care for his brother Thor. He's literally eaten alive by his disdain. He almost comes across like a child that's been refused his favorite toy. And I love that complexity.
It Has Heart
Yes, as silly as that sounds, the story was good. It was engaging and I cared about the characters because they were driven with a sense of morality and the relationships were genuine. And with comic book films that can get overlooked. Luckily this one had heart in bucket loads! And it was so nice to see Pepperpots and Stark have chemistry again.
If Whedon is behind the next one, you can bet I'll be there. The Avengers was the most fun I've had at the movies all year.

Wednesday Night Concerts at The Village of Baytowne Wharf in July
June 26, 2013 by SoWal Staff
The Events Plaza in Baytowne Wharf continues to feature some of the region's best live music throughout the summer. With a great lineup of musicians, you'll be thoroughly entertained, no matter what age. Bring your chairs and blankets, family and friends and enjoy a relaxing evening listening to your favorite tunes.
This event is free and open to the public, so come out for music filled fun every Wednesday from 7-9 p.m. in July!
Here's the upcoming schedule:
July 3 | Dread Clampitt There is nothing like a Dread Clampitt show. "It's a tasty sonic gumbo of influences ranging from bluegrass, rock & roll, blues, jazz and Louisiana Bayou funk complete with three part harmonies and pinch of southern humor thrown in for good measure."
July 10 | Forrest Williams Growing up in the hills of Arkansas, Forrest picked up the guitar when he was 14 years old and has been playing ever since. He grew up listening to Rock, Blues, Country, and Folk music from the 60's up to present day, which has influenced his songwriting. His style covers a variety of music, incorporating the acoustic guitar and the harmonica.
July 17 | Rusty Yates Band Old School blues meets a rocking dance groove "Take Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Michael McDonald and roll them into one and you get Rusty Yates."
July 24 | Fuzion Band This Destin band combines some of your local favorite performers all rolled into one band! You'll get rock, blues, funk. And your favorite covers too!
July 31 | Stephen Simmons Stephen Simmons hails from Woodbury, a small town in central Tennessee that's known for Sunday socials, tent revivals and palm readings. After ten years in Nashville, Stephen is, in many ways, still that Church of Christ kid–humble, good-natured, but more than a little dark and as a songwriter and a road dog, his revelations are as exhilarating as a Tilt-a-Whirl.
The Village of Baytowne Wharf is affectionately known as the "heart and soul" of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. With more than 12 restaurants, 15 retail stores and several nightlife venues, it has become the gathering place for everyone visiting, living or working along the Emerald Coast.
Be sure and check in often to the SoWal Music Calendar and Events Calendar for complete up-to-date listings of all the activities around South Walton this summer.

… if I didn't have opinions

He's Still Got It
I know this has been out for a while – but – well it is a long story. Suffice to say, been spinning it for a couple of days now. Awesome. No review here – there's plenty around. But I do have an observation. Roger's lyrics – and specifically his 'lyrical lists'.
Think about
My Morning Jacket and Roger Waters – All Good
The return of Bob Dylan's fabled electric guitar wasn't the only thing happening at the Newport Folk Festival on Friday. Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame — performing live for the first time since 2013 — headlined the night, and he was joined by Newport mainstays 'My Morning Jacket' as his backing band.
Nothing wrong with that .. and buried in here is a reference that Roger was performing on a piano in public for the first time in his life.

There was a two car crash Tuesday morning along Steinbach's Main Street.
Assistant Fire Chief Russ Reimer explains they were called to the Barkman Avenue intersection shortly before 9:30. Reimer says he's not exactly sure what happened, noting when crews arrived on scene one of the vehicles was still sitting in the middle of the intersection, while the other car had already been moved off of the street. Both vehicles had front-end damage.
Reimer says both occupants involved in the crash were checked over by EMS at the scene and released.
Crews were able to keep eastbound Main Street open during cleanup, but Reimer says they had to divert westbound traffic momentarily.

After a host of senior management changes and a fair bit of hunkering down on the marketing front, Fairfax seems to have got its ducks in a row and regained some confidence and is once again promoting its products and capabilities. And its latest effort is a new trade campaign that aims to switch the focus from volume metrics to its ability to target different groups across its print and online assets.
In an era where the circulation and readership numbers for most newspapers have been steadily—and in some cases, rapidly—decreasing, many publishers have found it tough to fight against the general perception of declines in print—or, as Clay Shirky's confrontational take has it, eventual death. But comms manager Emma Carter says the campaign "is the first step in changing the conversation from traditional readership/circulation metrics to targeting behaviour and interest-based audience groups through the multiple channels we have available".
When asked if Fairfax, after a period of 'reflection', is back in the game and starting to tell its stories again, Fairfax marketing director Campbell Mitchell says: "I think it's another demonstration of the fresh momentum coming from the 'new' Fairfax marketing team, formed back in May. It's a great campaign, and there'll be more to come in the New Year."
As it says on the 'Reach Them' campaign microsite: "At Fairfax Media we engage with people across many different channels. Millions of unique individuals who lead rich, diverse, interesting lives. Honey producers, home renovators, gardeners, sports fans."
Old habits around hard numbers die hard, however, so it also points to Nielsen figures that show it reaches "eight out of ten New Zealanders each month".
The campaign highlights four key audience groups that Fairfax delivers to advertisers. And traffic is being driven to the microsite through a DM piece to agency contacts replete with cricket balls and pot plants and through animated display ads on StopPress (interestingly, Bauer Australia is also focusing on four key areas—food, homes, health and family—as part of its new vertical digital strategy and that approach is also set to be implemented in New Zealand).
Fairfax worked with Shine and Affinity (website build).
Fairfax launched its Fairfax World campaign in early November with an animation that showed how advertisers can reach its audiences.
"We have a unique portfolio of media assets that reach eight of every ten New Zealanders, including New Zealand's largest news site, stuff.co.nz," said Mitchell in a release. "Our differentiator is our ability to target specific audiences through a number of channels, so our clients and advertisers can reach and engage with Kiwis in new, compelling and targeted ways through the day."
It pointed to global research from WARC that highlighted the connection between campaigns using multiple channels and their effectiveness because they "offer advertisers deeper interaction with customers and provide consumer connection through content, interest and passions".
"We know the media landscape has changed, and the relentless focus on volume metrics—readership and circulation—provides an overly simplistic measure of today's campaign performance," Mitchell says. "The evaluation model should be based on engagement with customers delivered through a range of channels, and effectiveness ... the result. It's not just about a reach number – but that the audience is passionate, engaged and motivated to act. Our multi-channel media business provides a quality total audience offering for our advertisers across our products, ensuring they get their message to the right people at the right time – delivering hard results."
Fairfax also launched a campaign recently based on recent research from Colmar Brunton that promoted stuff.co.nz's popularity as a video platform and the effectiveness of pre-roll advertising in an era of rampant time-shifting.
Fairfax also launched an above-the-line campaign for Stuff earlier this year via Shine that showed it had the full-spectrum of content (and it also ran a nice experiential campaign as part of its sponsorship of Art in the Dark).
Stuff recently overtook Yahoo in terms of visitor numbers and it will be hoping to improve those numbers even further when it eventually migrates onto smh.com.au's platform, something that is thought to be happening in the near future.

Learning languages enriches our learners intellectually, educationally and culturally and also enables our learners to communicate across cultures and contribute to social cohesiveness through better communication and understanding
In learning a language, students develop communication skills and knowledge to understand social, historical and familiar relationships. They also learn aspects of the specific language and culture of the speakers of the language they are studying. Learning a language contributes to the development of skills in thinking and reflection and the development of inter-culturally aware citizens.
A range of different experiences and activities are provided in the LOTE Language Program to engage and develop the knowledge and skills of students.
Skills developed include:
· Participating in choral use of language
· Identifying the names of visible objects and items from aural/visual cues
· Introducing themselves, greet and farewell the teacher
· Following simple classroom directions
· Recognising some culturally specific gestures and body language and demonstrating how these are used
· Observing the process of interpreting and perform some of its features using single words/phrases
· Recognising the different sounds of similar letters

I'm not impressed by Indongo- Jerry Nakathila …as he seeks to conquer the world in 2018
Unrestrained world number six junior lightweight champion, Jeremiah "Low Key" Nakathila has disclosed his feelings over the storm rocking his Sunshine Boxing stable, labelling Indongo's decision to dump the team as not impressing.
The shining boxer, previously ranked ninth in the world within his division, says despite the controversies surrounding his manager which have spilt into the public, he has by no means lost confidence in the academy and in him as a tried and tested promoter.
Says Nakathila, "Looking at this guy, I can not be impressed by the move. He was brought at that level for the people to see him. Other than that, they could not have any interest. He was given a chance."
"Having been brought to that level, and if this is how he appreciates by leaving the academy or leaving Nestor, I can not be impressed. I am not impressed. Its like your parents try to carter for you and you are at that high level and you say I do not have anything to do with them," he adds.
Unfazed on his stance and feelings with his senior, Nakathila says the onus is now on him to bounce into the ring and prove that the Sunshine academy still has quality boxers.
But has the boxer been discouraged by the exit of his team's high profile figures, Ambunda included, a lost court case and a possibly looming one?
"I am not!" he exclaims, "It's an opportunity for me you know. All the opportunities are on us."
Jerry has had a perfect 2017 which he finished in great style by flooring South Africa based Sibusiso Zingange whom he stopped in the 6th round to the wild cheers of home ground supporters.
He has fought three fights right across 2017 and won them all by astonishing KOs, thus positioning himself along the perfect path of growth this year.
"2017 was the best year for me. I started and finished it in great fashion all the way, all of them KOs. I fought better opponents," he says.
He dominated Tanzania's said Chino right from the start, destroying him with intense body shots before over-running him in the third round and walking home as the WBO Africa junior lightweight champion.
"I think I am the best. I have beatn guys from South Africa, Malawi, Tanzania, Botswana, and I can safely say I am the best in Africa. I have to prove that I am not only based in Africa. I can fight in the world," he says.
But it is the Russian defeat that keeps on haunting him and the boxer is baying for a chance to enter the world revitalized and ready to make a point.
His first stint this year will be this coming March, and his stable has already tipped him to start engineering his muscles and prepare for the annual independence boxing bonanza.
"I want to add to the titles that I already have. All I want are title fights, that's what I am focusing on. I want to train well and be ready for every fight. At this level now I am being ranked at number six in the world. Anything can come my way and I have to be ready," he says.
However, with Namibia's most famous trainer, Imms gone, will Nakathila cope?
"I can't really comment much. I know one of our best trainers is no more with us at our stable but I can only comment after if I start working with those that are there and feel like eish there is a differance then I can comment. At the moment I can't comment because I do not know," he says.
Despite basking in the positive glow of limelight and fast becoming a house-hold property, Nakathila has not forgotten his humble roots.
This past month, he took the pilgrimage back to his village at Onesi, where he showed his belts to chief Daniel Shoya of the Uukolonkadhi traditional authority at an event marked by pomp and ceremony.
And media attention too, followed right behind his tail.

Eddie Cibrian might be unemployed again. His new NBC pilot has been canned already.
This untitled NBC sitcom would have starred and been produced by Monica Potter and co-starred Eddie Cibrian, Donald Faison, Josh Hopkins and Rory Scovel.
Back in February, Variety announced the show would be "loosely based on the Parenthood actress's life with three ex-husbands, a child by each of them and a new boyfriend." With those actors playing her ex-husbands.
Variety added, the pilot was "written by Sherry Bilsing-Graham and Ellen Kreamer for Ellen DeGeneres' A Very Good Production and Warner Bros. TV. Bilsing-Graham and Kreamer exec produce with DeGeneres and Very Good's Jeff Kleeman. "
The Hollywood Reporter had more information on Eddie's character: "A slick professional gambler. He remains slightly territorial when it comes to Bridget, even after their divorce. They share a daughter, Jessica."
Sound familiar? (LeAnn's first husband, Dean, called Eddie a slick pretty boy when they first met and of course Eddie is really divorced and co-parenting).
However, just over a month later, it's been canned because it's so bad.
Sources tell TV Line (via Music Times, AllAboutTRH), it died the instant the cast did a table read of the pilot and realised they had no chemistry, the script was awful, and the characters were one-dimensional.
Either way, the Peacock network has decided not to move forward with its untitled comedy pilot starring Potter and exec-procuced by Ellen DeGeneres, TVLine has learned.
According to multiple sources, NBC and Warner Bros. (the studio behind the project) mutually agreed to put the pause button on the potential series for creative reasons, with an eye towards redeveloping it next season.
The multi-cam project revolved around Potter's Bridget, whose dating life is complicated by her busy family and her three ex-husbands (played by Eddie Cibrian, Donald Faison and Rory Scovel).
The pilot was penned by I Hate My Teenage Daughter creators Sherry Bilsing-Graham and Ellen Kreamer. [TV Line]
It's dead. For now. As it was agreed it lacked potential. Although they feel there is enough there to rework it later.
Previously, it was reported that LeAnn cancels her own work commitments to stay at home and spy on Eddie. So she'll probably be thrilled that he's unemployed again; it makes him easier to track.
Last year, the couple's reality show LeAnn & Eddie was cancelled by VH1.

Australia'ss Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said new laws would be introduced to ban access to sites featuring criminal content such as child sex abuse, bestiality, rape and detailed drug use, despite widespread criticism that it will strangle free speech and is doomed to fail.
Websites would be determined by an independent classification body via a "public complaint" process, said Conroy, admitting there was "no silver bullet solution to cyber-safety".
Internet user groups, the pornography industry and others have strongly opposed the plan, saying any such measure would be impractical to enforce, block access to some legitimate websites as well as slow down legitimate internet traffic
Conroy said a six month trial had concluded that blocking could be done with 100 percent accuracy and negligible impact to connection speeds.
Amazing how many countries feel as though they must control everything! An adult can not be an adult, no you need Big brother to hold your hand and tell you out right what is good and bad for you, even though you are more than capable of making that choice for yourself.
Should this go live, will you Aussies do us a favor and list EVILWARE.com as a naughty bit with your government?

Outsourcing Tax Returns – Processing Tax Returns the Easy Way
It's no secret that more and more companies outsource their goods and services to countries that can meet demands quickly. Even tax preparation accountants are located outside your country. Many account services provided to clients through Internet companies are based in India and other countries that bid low on proposals for businesses. This allows tax preparation companies to charge their clients fees that also cover the cost of employees that may not have the education and experience in certain tax laws to prepare your personal taxes. If you are due a tax return, you should be prepared and know what you are due before you file.
When you deal with customer service needs outside your country, you may talk to a friendly voice that sympathizes with your questions and concerns. Financial companies will use low-cost labor to cover their customer service, but it may create problems in certain tax areas that a foreign individual may not be fully aware of for your country's tax laws.
Accuracy and privacy for your tax refund are always your first thought when dealing with businesses that outsource their accounting services.
People rely on using accountants they can trust. Once you find a company that satisfies your every need, you will return to use their services year after year. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee the business practices of your accountant won't change, forcing them to outsource their accountant needs because low-cost labor is better for the company bottom line than your privacy and accurate tax refunds.
Know your accountant practices. If you are concerned with where your tax preparation is being done, look at the fine print, and don't be afraid to ask the question. Companies that rely on outsourcing their accountant needs must supply a boilerplate disclosure for clients that specify they use third-party or affiliated with companies outside your country for their tax preparations.visit us now!
If you have reservations about how outsourcing tax returns can sometimes miss an opportunity for your maximum available, you're not alone. The quality of tax preparation outsourced can suffer for the individual and likely not cause the company any problems. When you don't have the time to do your own taxes, you want to work with a company that will keep your personal records safe, and get the most for your tax refund.
The practical side of outsourcing tax return services means a company can maintain low overheads; provide you with the quickest refund available at a fee that is lower than in-house accountants. To survive in business today, accountant services can work twice as fast when the preparation is handled in-house, collected and organized, and then outsourced for overnight tax refunds.Read the news from http://kstp.com/news/mnsure-tax-forms-delivered/4089622/
The bottom line on outsourcing tax services is how the company saves money while providing you with the best accountant services they use. It may not be the best services for you, but it works for the accountants.

I've duplicated a form and amended it for the new requirements, but the page title is still for the old form.
Can anyone advise how I change this?
Many thanks,

Hi Tom,
You need to go to Preferences, click the ADVANCED tab and change the title from 'Page Title' option box.
If you have the old interface it might look different than above but the steps almost the same.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have that option when I log in. Please see the attached image.

I am getting way ahead of myself with road adventures. Since the one missing recording was out of my reach, I began collecting the music of all the supporting performers on Greg's records. Bo Ramsey, Radoslav Lorkovic, Dave Moore, Prudence Johnson amongst others. I was also collecting cyber friends in the discussion group we call the list. One of my poems I posted there was a conglomeration of Greg's lyrics from various songs at the time. To my amazement, it was added to Greg's website. Here it is:
A Greg High
another seattle wrist slitting day
cloud coming down for 66 and 44 more
until greg comes here in may
can't get enough of your music Mr. Brown
love your lyrics, your music, your incredible sound
impossible to appreciate it in the background
words about real life
how bad it can be and how nice
argue about who is the bigger fan
me or my wife
kids want to go to kansas now you know
just to listen to that late night radio
about twice a year, it's clear here
gaze at the stars near the equator of Heaven
think about my grandparents, wish i was still eleven
you might wonder what goes on this fella's head
still got that loaf of bread
the bottle of wine went and the $50,000 is all spent
maybe i hung around a little too long in my hippie tent
don't turn on the tv or radio news
push in my cd and listen to you
then i can fly away if i want to
i get the good blues
just listening to "think about you"
all the money's going, going, gone
gotta listen to another song
i never would have thunk it
be online in a Greg Brown junket
this bozo's in love again
playing non-stop "Further In".
had lotsa kind of money 'til christmas came around
i just want to be in the dark with you in our little town
sitting outside smoking my cigs
i do this and that and this for my kids
dream on, little dreamers
ok, just one more good night kiss
i guess the wild geese go
with that little man in a boat
or followed john muir in his overcoat
sometimes feel my whole life is one wrong turn
i don't know who i think i'm foolin'
oh man what am i trying to say
it's kind of like "have a nice day"
i don't want to hear "happy holiday"
alright already, I admit
i'm a happy, happy, happy addict.
yes, you're right, I am sick
a hopeless Gregoholic.
like that fish in the mucked up lovely river
i am hooked.
you can read about it my new book
i'm on a greg high aren't i?
i don't know that guy
thank you and goodbye
Without medication, I still get high when I attend a Greg show. I admit I turn into a different person. At the local shows, I started dragging friends and family to them. Like an over-exuberant movie review, they were unable to capture the profoundness of the experience that I felt each time. Some would question his ability to enunciate at times, yet I have never had that problem since I knew almost every verse he sang. I stopped leading the horse to water knowing when I went to a show there would be others almost as thirsty as me.
On his next northwest tour, I rounded up the family and we travelled to Portland, Oregon. The Clinton Street Theater was as funky as its neighborhood. Yanking small children out of a motel pool when it's 80 degrees in May is a complex task. Much dismayed, we were second in line that night. Standing in line hours before the doors opened, we conversed with the couple in front of us who were from Seattle too and we have been close friends ever since. Many of my future adventures will be with them. I believe we beat them to the front of the line the next night in Seattle. My community, created by Greg's music, continued to grow. Even the promoter at the time in Portland got to know me. I have seen Greg perform more in Oregon than my own state. Some fans have followed Greg to Europe, my experiences are limited to the Pacific northwest. One year he came to Seattle when I was in Germany on business. Because of it, even my wife has been to one more show than me.
I have chosen to resist using fan names throughout this story to protect the ones who prefer their privacy. Some are dear friends I have yet to meet, others who now know to expect a big hug each time we reconnect. Although I would love to acknowledge them all by name, some are simply shy, humble heroes in my eyes. Since it is unclear who might like to be recognized by name and those that prefer their privacy, it is easier to omit all names. If you read this friends, you'll know who you are.
My first road trip was a huge success and I was now infected to do more. With twenty years of recorded music in his repertoire by now, he had a different setlist every night. Depending on the venue, the crowd and his mood, he turned into a jukebox gone mad with renditions of songs that were completely altered from his recordings. This guy can ad-lib and tell stories like no other. It was time to get serious the next time he came around.

I just saw some papers by Atty. Tony La Vina — former DENR USec, perennial PH climate negotiator for decades (aka 'planet saviour'), anti-coal, anti-fossil fuels, anti-GMO (I think) — on mining.
In Audacity, he wrote,
Lopez and Duterte have been bold; they are visionaries, taking immense political risks. They have reframed the discussion on mining in the most fundamental way—not about economics, but about sustainable development; not about profits, but about social and environmental justice…
In an interview with an American journalist last week, I was asked whether I thought Lopez was nuts. The journalist referred to one of the videos of Secretary Lopez where she waxed poetic about nature.
I said if she were, then President Duterte would even be crazier. The truth is both the Secretary and the President are sui generis, one of a kind. Indeed, I have always thought that the Duterte decision to appoint Lopez was a stroke of genius; her latest actions conclusively prove that this was a correct impression.
In Political will, he wrote,
But it is in the environmental sector and potentially in the peace process with both Moro revolutionary organizations and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines… where the greatest potential good social change can come. For immediate impact, the decisions that Gina Lopez makes promise to be the most dramatic…
Unfortunately, the detractors of Lopez have become personal and have launched propaganda attacks against her, distorting things from her past to put her in a negative light. There is also misinformation about the impact of her mining decisions, with the President himself misled into saying that we would lose P70 billion because of this. As Dr. Cielo Magno, a UP economics professor and an expert on mining economics, has computed, it's more like P10 billion.
He must be one of those disappointed with the CA rejection of Ms. Gina Lopez. Although he believes that responsible mining is possible, his high regards of the idiosyncratic leadership and arbitrary creation and implementation of Department orders/circulars of Ms. Lopez puts him in similar ideological leaning as her.
Most "planet saviours" are also anti-mining. They show the same double-talk characteristics, like hating fossil fuels and yet love frequent jet-setting worldwide courtesy of fossil fuels. Or hating mining and yet love many products of mining, from gadgets to skyscraper buildings.

Hello, as 25Things @ Huddersfield is starting a new round for 2010 with a new crop of participants (with 3 of us from last year doing the hand holding for this years newbies), I thought it was about time I got back to my own blog…so here I am 🙂
Since taking part in last years 25Things I've become even more addicted to the web and now have a blog for the resource area for Art, Design and Architecture that I manage here at the University http://trendhub.wordpress.com/
Facebook pages and groups for
the Trend Hub resource area facebook/TRENDHUB
SAMPLE (the brand and publication for the BA. Hons Crafts course ) facebook/SAMPLE (I also have a private closed facebook account just for staff and student participants and contributors to Sample)
BaccaPipes Folk Club facebook/BACCApipes-Folk-Club
and now 2 Twitter accounts which I monitor and use mainly via Tweetdeck which makes managing 2 very different account …manageable.
http://twitter.com/desimeleon (the people I follow here now tends to be mainly posting about eLearning and technology )
http://twitter.com/adatrendhub (Art, Design and Architecture Creative stuff )
There are a number of other ways that fuel my web addiction thanks to 25Things but more about those another time.
Uk snow on Twitter/Google Earth

I found this on YouTube after following a Twitter Feed to first of all this blog post
quote from above…. "As a knock-on of this there's been a large amount of media buzz about the use of Twitter as a mob-sourced geo-mashup generator to show snowfall. Twitter users have been posting the first half of their postcode, plus the amount of snow in their location. 0 = no snow, 10 = bucket loads. ie: "#uksnow W12 9/10″ Developers have been mashing-up that data. Check out Ben Marsh's neat, live Google Map mashup of this: #uksnow Tweets"

I recently went to Durham to the Blackboard Users Conference, I was only able to attend 1 day out of the 2 and went specifically to hear this keynote speaker Paul Lowe – brilliant, came back with my head simply buzzing with blogs and elearning ideas.

11/25 – Technorati and Google Blog Search
Posted in 25 Things, blogs, tagged 25Things, blogs on January 6, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Already Jan 2009, whops I'm a bit behind already! better make some time to catch up …so here goes item 11 of 15 Things –
Technorati and Google Blog Search
So the 1st thing I did was to save both of these as delicious book marks http://delicious.com/trendhub
and then…searched for "Morris Dancing" something I did for a number of years, but no more….it is a tradition struggling to survive, as reported by the BBC and others a few nights ago
Technorati – Search / 490 results for morris dancing
Google Blog Search – about 138,380 for morris dancing. (0.44 seconds)
looking through some of the results the ones on Google Blog Search seem far more relevant, and many more results the Technorati search brought up some very odd links, many of them in at the top of the list not at all relevant….But this led me off down all sorts of twisted paths, linking in more searches,back to Flickr and Flickriver Badges,
Terry Pratchett turned up in there somewhere, somehow http://www.lancre-morris-men.co.uk "The Lancre Morris Men originally came about from the imagination of Terry Pratchett OBE. Their physical maifestation came about around eight years ago through the formation of a north eastern side called Otterbourne. Being avid Pratchett fans and with the original members having names like Plumber (an electrician), Baker (an accountant) and Wheeler (a farmer), it wasn't long before they were being referred to as the Lancre Morris Men*."
so now possibly hours later it's time to move on 😦 .. … … I haven't time to read all these and get distracted by lots and lots of fab stuff, and go on more twisty,windy paths into other peoples pics, thoughts, ramblings, opinions, journeys and adventures ….. well not just now anyway, But I'll be back…..

Tourists trapped in holiday hell after flooding hits luxury 5-star resort
Guests described how dirty water surged through the Caribbean holiday spot overnight and the electricity failed
TOURISTS were trapped in holiday hell after flooding hit their luxury 5-star resort in the Dominican Republic.
Heavy rain left hundreds of holidaymakers stranded yesterday at the Thomson Sensatori in Punta Cana.
Guests described how dirty water surged through the Caribbean holiday spot overnight and the electricity failed.
Staff desperately tried to stop water getting into rooms by using towels.
Pictures also showed how roofing had partially collapsed at the resort, which was opened in July 2016.
Banker Andrew Abbotsford-Smith, 43, from Kent, said: "It's total chaos – there is only one rep dealing with 500 British tourists.
"It's a real disaster for all of us but especially the guests who are here for their honeymoon or to celebrate their anniversary.
"You can smell sewer and people are now worried about getting cholera."
The TUI Sensatori boasts "a beautiful white sand beach, designer interiors and a gourmet dining scene".
Last week 17,000 were evacuated from their homes in the Dominican republic after "staggering" amounts of rainfall.
In neighbouring Haiti a 19-year-old and an elderly man died due to flash floods.
Forecasters said it was all part of a severe weather system that also hit Jamaica.

Aside from the need to replace our existing county jail, due to safety concerns for inmates and staff, as well as its deteriorating condition, it seems that another factor is being overshadowed during the current debate over incarceration versus treatment. Too many serious offenders in this county are being released among an unsuspecting citizenry due to a lack of space in the existing jail. It's time to move forward with construction of the new jail, as originally proposed and approved by the voters. The mental health issue is a distraction that should not preclude protection of the public as soon as possible.
