Chopard Classic Racing Watch
A brand that seeks its inspiration in every field of activity can only be a winner in this over-competitive industry of watch manufacturing and the fact that racing has always been a constant theme for the designers from Chopard in the process of elaborating their timepieces can only prove Chopard's attachment to this field. Racing cars have become a symbol of competition, of speed and glory and so brands of watch manufacturing all over the world have associated their name with such sport events meant to propel their popularity.
This year, Chopard presents its new creation dedicated to racing cars, a timepiece that goes by the name of Chopard Classic Racing Watch belonging to the collection with the same name. A very successful collection, the Classic Racing Watch is still considered amongst the best-selling collections ever introduced by this brand, with unique and sporty timepieces that defy the boundaries of traditional technical performance.
Inspired by cars, the new Chopard Classic Racing Watch embraces a sporty design characterized by massive proportions, a highly functional mechanism and also an amazingly realized strap that adds originality and distinction to the whole design. The watch features a massive case measuring 45 mm in diameter that was crafted entirely from 18 carats rose gold, manufactured to resist accidental falls or deep diving. Equipped with shock absorption system, this watch protects 100% the mechanism from damages and also, the construction of the case generates a resistance to water of up to 100 meters.
The bezel of the new Chopard Classic Racing Watch is inscribed with a tachymeter scale, making it appropriate for diving. The dial is very appealing and uses a vertical pattern, while providing the main functions of the watch neatly. The functions of hour, minute and seconds are displayed from the center of the dial through luminescent coated hands. The minutes are marked with Arabic numerals from 5 to 5, while the only Arabic numeral employed for the hour function is located at 12 o'clock, the other hour markers being just indices. The functions of the chronograph are displayed through sub-dials that overlap a bit, in the lower part of the dial.
What sustains the working of all these functions is the mechanical self-winding chronograph movement, a movement created by Chopard in the brand's ateliers. Just like the other Chopard timepieces designed to satisfy the taste of a special category, such is racing; the new Chopard Classic Racing Watch comes accompanied by a rubber strap imitating a tyre.
The watch guarantees 100 meters of water resistance and will be produced in a limited edition of 500 timepieces.

Arguably Australia's most awarded Indian restaurant, Jasmin has gained a reputation for it's traditional yet creative cuisine. Established in 1980 by the Singh-Sandhu family, it wasn't long before word spread about the culinary prowess of Mrs Anant Singh-Sandhu, one of Australia's most highly regarded chefs and culinary inspiration behind Adelaide's favourite restaurant. Her commitment to her family recipes, integrity with produce and masterful art of blending spices attracted curry addicts from everywhere.
Anant Singh-Sandhu
Although the ownership of the restaurant passed into the hands of long–term employees Julia Kunst, Simon Lambert and Andrew Adair in 2010, with Singh siblings Sheila and Amerik maintaining a hands on interest and Anant a role as their culinary consultant, the 80-year-old matriarch still spends time on a daily basis in her kitchen, waving her magic spoon over the kitchen, tasting and testing and ensuring consistent quality. One of her signature dishes, Punjabi Lamb Tandoori is a popular dish made with lamb cutlets marinated in yoghurt, coriander, chilli and Mrs. Singh's own blend of curry powder, then slowly cooked over charcoal in the tandoor. Spicy, powerful and bursting with flavour, this dish is not for the feint of heart, but for those who love Indian cuisine with a whollop.
The lamb first marinates in a mixture of ginger, garlic, vinegar, lemon juice,
paprika and chilli powder for 2-3 hours
A second marinade of yoghurt, garam masala, curry powder, turmeric, chilli powder,
oil and lemon juice is whisked together
The yogurt marinade is rubbed all over the lamb chops and chilled in the fridge
for at least 3 hours or even overnight
Punjabi Rack of Lamb Chops
Serves 4
1 2-pound rack of lamb, frenched and cut into chops
2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
Juice of 2 lemons
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp chilli powder
1/2 cup plain Greek yoghurt
2 tbsp garam masala
1 tbsp meat curry powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp chilli powder
1/4 cup cooking oil
In a processor, blend the ginger, garlic and vinegar to make a paste. Take two tablespoons of the paste and add half the lemon juice, salt, paprika and chilli powder, mix together and rub over the lamb. Allow to marinate in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
Mix together the yoghurt, garam masala, curry powder, turmeric, chilli powder, oil and remaining lemon juice. Rub over the lamb and marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight. Grill or barbecue the lamb to taste.

MTP fiber and MTP assemblies take their name from the MTP "Multi-fiber Termination Push-on" connector, designed and introduced as a high-performance version of the MPO connectors. The MTP fiber system is a truly
innovative group of products that moves fiber optic networks into the new millennium. MTP does interconnect with the MPO connectors. Each MTP contains 12 fibers or 6
duplex channels in a connector smaller than most duplex connections in use today. A 72-fiber trunk cable can be terminated with six MTP connectors. MTP connectors
are manufactured specifically for multifiber ribbon cable.
MTP connectors allow high-density connections between network equipment in telecommunication rooms. They use a simple push-pull latching mechanism for easy
and intuitive insertion and removal. The ends of MTP connectors may be polished flat or at an 8° angle. It is the same size of a SC connector but since it can accommodate 12 fibers, it provides up to
12 times the density, thereby offering savings in circuit card and rack space.
MTP trunk cables are available in 12-144 count. These high count MTP assemblies are ideal for backbone and
data center applications that require a high fiber count in a limited space. All fiber counts are available in Plenum,
Riser, or outdoor ratings to suit any environment. Our high quality factory pre-termination eliminates the need for costly field termination and testing.
MTP fan-out assemblies provide connection to equipment or panels that are terminated with ST, SC, FDDI, or
ESCON connectors. Such assemblies are available pre-wired into patch panels and wall enclosures. Using MTP trunk cables, a complete fiber optic backbone can be installed without any field termination being required.
The MTP Plug and Play System is the option of choice for a wide variety of applications, such as:
Backbones Disaster Recovery Building Fiber Optic Distribution Quick setup of new wiring hubs Warehouses Direct termination of ribbon cables Repair of Plug & Play Universal Systems Solutions trunk cables Parallel optical interconnects between servers Please note MTP Crossover cables are typically used for direct interconnect of electronic devices

During the last weekend in July, over 150 scientists, teachers, artists, politicians, and interested citizens gathered at Isle Royale National Park to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Isle Royale wolf study â the longest running predator-prey study in the world.
The anniversary celebration featured talks and reflections by wolf researchers L. David Mech, Rolf Peterson, John Vucetich, and Doug Smith. Many other scientists and students involved in the study over the past 50 years attended the weekendâs events.
Only two pilots have participated in the 50 years of winter study monitoring, Don Murray of Minnesota and Don Glaser of Alaska. Both came to the island to help celebrate the anniversary. Murrayâs grandson flew the original winter study plane, a 1946 Areonca Champ, to the island for the celebration. Assistant Secretary of the Interior Lyle Laverty, NPS Associate Director for Natural Resources Bert Frost, and Midwest Regional Director Ernie Quintana attended the ceremony. The weekendâs events included the premiere of the documentary film, Fortunate Wilderness by George Desort, and programs on art and culture.

G/h Ethereum Classic – Wealth Without Frontiers: TAN
We would like to thank you for coming to us in looking for "G/h Ethereum Classic" online. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could rise drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that could result in company being unable to continue to operate or to stop operation. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the different nodes of the network is now the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that offer long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally links in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the appropriate place at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet collectively these companies determine how it operates, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to call to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these issues are resolved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any focused business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a committed supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present built-in difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. Many people would rather use a currency deflation, particularly individuals who desire to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial privacy, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in commerce; If you are living paycheck to paycheck, it'd happen as part of your riches, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies.
G/h Ethereum Classic – TAN – Where Your Minds Dreams Are Achieved
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they be a part of more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence that the transaction occurred. This can be potentially used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the variety of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all existing bitcoins. This situation is just not to suggest that markets aren't exposed to price manipulation, yet there is no need for large sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The slightest events on the planet market can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. Since among the oldest forms of making money is in cash lending, it's a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, Some of these websites you are required fill in a captcha after a certain time period and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. You are able to visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite poor liquidity as well and it is hard to think of an acceptable investment strategy. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or another regulatory agencies. As such, it really is more resistant to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy risks. Security and seclusion can readily be reached by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't put your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of ownership from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. When searching on the internet forG/h Ethereum Classic, there are many things to think of.

Click here to visit our home page and learn more about G/h Ethereum Classic. It should be challenging to get more small gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having modest gains is more rewarding than trying to fight up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to take a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Second, there is more unpredictability and reward in monies that have not made it to the profitableness of websites like Coinwarz. The trades of Bitcoins are recorded in ledgers which are referred to as Blockchains. The ledgers use extremely complex technology for them to work. The thought is quite straightforward than you think. The Blockchain enables two parties to create a smart contract. The contract can be created between two firms in a platform understood It's certainly possible, but it must have the ability to recognize opportunities irrespective of marketplace conduct. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be alright. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making gigantic ammonts of money with various kinds of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin structure provides an informative example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical achievement, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on quite lucrative business models made available due to the growing use of blockchain technology. You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you purchase the uptrend will never decrease! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times) If you are in search of G/h Ethereum Classic, look no further than The Affluence Network.
G/h Ethereum Classic: TAN: Is Your Coin
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers contend that there is "actual" worth, even through there isn't any physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that's worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some form of wages so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, which is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of trades lives.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason behind this could be simply that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. It really is also possible the regulators just do not understand the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a unique address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in the exact same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is simply a representation of worth, but there is no genuine palpable type of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed. In the event of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may also be dealt as being a thing. Promoters of cryptocurrencies announce this type of virtual income is not manipulated by way of a main banking system and is not thus susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted quantity of goods, this cashis benefit is founded on market forces, permitting entrepreneurs to business over cryptocurrency deals. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll really get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have greater possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, predicated on the amount of "shares" won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it is worth noting that the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This option also creates a steady flow of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to totally block the benefit. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: due to the character of the method where it's transacted. All deals on the crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. As soon as youare paid, you get paid. This is simply not something short-term wherever your visitors could dispute or need a refunds, or employ illegal sleight of hand. Used, most traders would be wise to make use of a transaction processor, because of the irreversible character of crypto-currency dealings, you have to ensure that stability is challenging. With any form of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your personal secrets and so steal your cash. However, you probably will never have it back. It is vitally important for you to adopt some great secure and safe procedures when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing this will guard you from most of these damaging functions.

Paul Goble
Staunton, December 30 – Every single one of the non-Russian republics is violating in one way or another Vladimir Putin's insistence that the study of Russian be compulsory for all and that the study of non-Russian languages be voluntary in every case, according to a report the Procuracy General has prepared for the Presidential Administration.
The four republics where the violations are greatest judged by the number of complaints from parents are Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Sakha and Chuvashia, according to Kommersant; but there are problems in this regard everywhere. And Moscow expects those responsible to be punished and the situation to be changed (kommersant.ru/doc/3482053).
In short, this is not the limited "problem" that many in Moscow have talked about but one that affects more than a fifth of the population of the country and more than a fifth of the federal subjects, something that means it matters a great deal more than those within the ring road seem to recognize.
On the one hand, this shows that the Kremlin really is committed to its Russianization and Russificaiton campaign and is willing to mobilize ethnic Russians in the non-Russian republics to get its way. But on the other, it shows that despite what many believe the non-Russians remain attached to their languages and will view this policy as an attack on their rights.
Clearly, Putin is committed to this policy and is prepared to push it through even though it violates the Russian constitution and existing Russian law, although a Kommersant source in the Presidential Administration says that there is no need to change any law, an implicit acknowledgement that Putin's views are now sufficient to override any legal provisions.
The republic governments are expected to fall in line and to punish those in their education ministries and schools who have in the past violated what is now policy. Moscow is unhappy that this issue arose "before the federal elections" and will do everything it can to block education becoming a source of conflict in nationality policy.
But in fact by overturning the constitution and laws in this area, the Kremlin has promoted what it says it objects to; and it would be well for its denizens to remember that those who view their rights as having been taken away often become more angry than those who never had these rights in the past.

London can often feel full of chain restaurants, which can be both good and bad as a coeliac. I am often grateful for the large number of Pizza Expresses available, especially with the never-ending supply of vouchers, but I also like to support independent restaurants and eat something different! Luckily Soho has a large number of independent restaurants with gluten free options, including one of my favourites: La Polenteria.
La Polenteria does nothing but polenta, as might be gathered by the name, but in a huge variety of ways. Pressed and grilled polenta slices are used in place of bread for bruschetta, soft polenta is used as a base for stew, there is polenta pasta, and even desserts baked with polenta. Everything on the menu can now be gluten free, although this isn't labelled and can be confusing, and they have been accredited by Coeliac UK.
I have been to La Polenteria numerous times over the last year so have had a thorough peruse of the menu. They have experimented with different options, including salads, sandwiches and pasta, but always have a selection of vegan, vegetarian and meat-based dishes served directly on polenta.
If you arrive before a certain time of the evening (I think 7) they do a happy hour, with small polenta tasters and fruit-based champagne cocktails to start.
I have also had the full portion of bruschetta as a starter. The polenta worked really well as a base for the tomatoes and this is definitely something I will try myself at home for parties.
My favourite mains have been the ones with soft polenta and lots of cheese. They are very generous portions with great quality toppings. The toppings vary based on season, with more stews in the winter and vegetables in the summer, and are always tasty. And you can't go wrong with this much cheese.
On my last visit I also tried their fresh pasta, getting the gnocchi with red pesto. I thought it was very tasty, and nice to have fresh gluten free pasta! However I think I will go back to the soft polenta next time because it's a bit more unusual and not something I would do to the same standard at home because of the awesome toppings.
Sometimes I have even had room for dessert (or gotten something to go…) and my favourite is this chocolate and coconut bar which is exactly like a coconut gluten free Nanaimo bar, for any other coeliac Canadians in London. (Please get in touch if you are out there, I can't be the only one!) For those uninitiated into such delights, it's a chocolate base (cooked with polenta here), with a coconut cream filling and chocolate ganache on top. Highly recommended.
Word has obviously been spreading about La Polenteria, including a mention in Time Out last week, and on my last few visits it has been getting busier and busier. It's a small location in a bustling area so I would definitely make a reservation for dinner, especially on a weekend night.
Overall I would highly recommend La Polenteria to anyone looking for a non-chain gluten free restaurant in London!

She also said that the ministry of health do not cray on any health survey on the students in the schools in which WIFI and wireless tablets were deployed.
Most of the speakers in the meeting were school masters who talked in favor of the program.
Only 3 voices against the program were heard, including my own.
The Knesset members who took part in the meeting where mostly concerned about the inequality that the tablets BYOD program will create, only few of them also brought up the possible health issues.
In the summary of the meeting the chairman of the committee also put the emphasis on the parents payment for the BYOD project and the inequality that can follow. Health concerns where also part of the vocal summary. These subjects were also included in the written summary, but with an acknowledgment that more than 2500 schools were tested for RF radiation, and that all were OK. This may mark that the committee did not understand that the test done are not satiable for WIFI ( as I and others noted) and that the so called safety standards are very high and not based on biological effect or long term effect.

Outdoor experiential activities based on the theme of "ascend a height to enjoy broaden horizon"
It was Friday,the 10th of January.BECK Organized Mountain climbing activities so as to enhancing stuff cohesive and combat effectiveness, training stuff to unite cooperation spirit,promoting the communication between the employees and enriching the staff's spare time.
After half an hour driving,we arrived at DALUO mountain scenic spot.Although it is a little cole,but We are so excited that we climbed fast at first. But after a while, some of us were tired,especially girls. They did not want to go on anymore. But some others encouraged and helped them. All of us slowed down our speed, so that no one was left behind. After an hour, we reached the dragon's back. We were so happy that we did it. And took many photos.We sat on the stones in the sunshine to have a rest and breathed the fresh air deeply and laughed heartily.
At about one o'clock, we began to Tianhe Reservoir. We enjoyed it and we didn't feel tired at all. We sang and chatted while we were climbing the mountain. When we got to the top of the mountain and saw the beautiful landscapes.We feel that all the tiredness were worth it.

In Class IX, you have studied about experimental (or empirical) probabilities of events which were based on the results of actual experiments. We discussed an experiment of tossing a coin 1000 times in which the frequencies of the outcomes.In Class IX, you tossed a coin many times and noted the number of times it turned up heads (or tails) (refer to Activities 1 and 2 of Chapter 15). You also noted that as the number of tosses of the coin increased, the experimental probability of getting a head
When we speak of a coin, we assume it to be 'fair', that is, it is symmetrical so
that there is no reason for it to come down more often on one side than the other.
We call this property of the coin as being 'unbiased'. By the phrase 'random toss',
we mean that the coin is allowed to fall freely without any bias or interference.
We know, in advance, that the coin can only land in one of two possible ways — either head up or tail up (we dismiss the possibility of its 'landing' on its edge, which may be possible, for example, if it falls on sand). We can reasonably assume that each outcome, head or tail, is as likely to occur as the other. We refer to this by saying that the outcomes head and tail, are equally likely.
In this chapter, you have studied the following points :
1. The difference between experimental probability and theoretical probability.
2. The theoretical (classical) probability of an event E, written as P(E), is defined as
3. The probability of a sure event (or certain event) is 1.
4. The probability of an impossible event is 0.
5. The probability of an event E is a number P(E) such that

The 20th century left, broadly defined, has always had problems with democracy. If the left is supposed to speak for the majority of people, and the nation in which a particular left exists is more or less democratic, why can't they just win? The Marxist left devoted a whole lot of energy to this question -- theories about the interests of the proletariat being the only really important and historically necessary interests of society, theories about how the vanguard party spoke for the ignorant proletariat, and of course a wide range of theories about false consciousness. All of this can pretty easily be dismissed along with the rest of Marx-worship, now that it's over.
Then the left-liberals had their turn. "What's the Matter With Kansas" and all that. People are supposedly fooled by social issues into not understanding their real, economic interests as defined by people who know better -- this is leftist false consciousness writ small.
Occupy, as I've written before, commonly confused their slogan with their political reality. "We, are, the 99% -- and you are too!" makes a good chant. But of course it's politically false. 99% of the people at the bottom of the wealth distribution share the defined characteristic that they are the 99% of people at the bottom of the wealth distribution, but this does not make them vote the same way or believe the same things or have the same political interests. The Occupy people that I saw were in the main that part of the white left-leaning intelligentsia that did not currently have a 9-5 job.
Who is the conservative base in America? John Quiggin looked at that here. 49% of working-class white people vote GOP. And they make up about a quarter of the GOP base. The largest group in the GOP base is middle-to-high income white people without college degrees. The left in the U.S. is mostly non-white people and educated but not rich people. The left is not "the working class" and does not speak for the working class. Nor does the working class, as a reified entity, support the left.
The whole idea of democracy breaks down, or at least becomes highly hypocritical, if you don't think that people are the best judges of their own interests. I don't think that the left should come up with a new round of excuses for themselves and for that part of the working class that is "supposed" to vote left but doesn't. What are some of those interests?
A good number of the working-class people in America are racists, to take one common example. Racism is perfectly rational for some of those people, just as rational as support for oligarchy is for some rich people. They're never going to do well no matter who is in charge, and racism gives them the comfort of knowing that no matter how poor they are, they're white, and therefore according to their values always at least one step from the bottom. That is more important to them than any economic solidarity that the left would like to pretend exists. That is their overriding political interest: the defense of a value system that gives them a sense of intrinsic worth. They aren't being fooled by racism into letting elites manipulate them. It's a trade-off: they give the elites support for oligarchy, and the elites give them support for racism.
It's not all racism, of course. The match to Romney's moochers and looters speech is supposed to be Obama's clinging to guns and religion speech. People find self-worth in all kinds of things. I wouldn't say that what's politically important to them is fake and what's important to the left or to me is real. I would, of course, say that what they believe is destructive and wrong, and that I think they should be defeated. But there is no magical solidarity between us that occurs because we are all in the 99%.
I don't know what the answer to this is, in practice. But the left's categories and self-image seem to me to be all wrong, inherited from an era in which we lost, and in which the strongest parts of the left were authoritarian in any case. I've always understood the left to be about freedom: the negative freedoms of people not controlling your actions as long as you aren't hurting others, the positive ones about using socially created wealth to give everyone the resources that they need in order to act, the overall support for a functioning ecosystem that is required for people to do anything. Being on the left has nothing to do with who is or is not a worker, or who is or isn't wealthy. It has to do with what kind of society you want to live in.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Addiction Recovery in Delray Beach
Intensive Outpatient Programs are designed to further recovery in individuals who either do not require drug/alcohol detox or inpatient treatment, or have already completed it.
Through the utilization of intensive therapies and group programs, IOPs serve to treat the lingering effects of addiction, while creating healthy boundaries and pathways for lifelong recovery.
Intended to accommodate work and family life, IOPs allow individuals to personalize their treatment plans to varying degrees. At RECO, we work directly with our clients to ensure their ability to maintain employment and familial responsibilities while also adhering to the curriculum of our program. As clients assimilate into a routine of working and attending therapies, a renewed commitment to sobriety emerges.
How Intensive Outpatient Programs Work
The time spent in an IOP is often a fragile period of recovery. Individuals may feel overwhelmed by the mental, emotional, and physical complexities of maintaining sobriety. IOPs aim to calm these fears, acting as a comprehensive resource and a compassionate guide. A specialized team of primary therapists, medical doctors, behavioral health technicians, and case managers work together to provide capacity for healing through individualized instruction and treatment.
Aiming to bridge the gap between active rehabilitation and independent living, IOPs are essential to those in the early stages of recovery. RECO Intensive aims to prevent relapse, to perpetuate vital healing processes, and to construct brighter futures for clients and their families.
The RECO Intensive Outpatient Program
RECO clients will participate in our Intensive Outpatient Program 4-5 times per week, for several hours each day. Our specialized curriculum includes individual counseling, group counseling, family therapy, chemical dependency education, relapse prevention training, and an introduction to the 12-step method of recovery.
Through our experiential methodology, we strive to uncover and address past trauma while building optimal routes to recovery. For those seeking continuous, high-level care, RECO Intensive Outpatient Program is an ideal solution.BACK TO ADDICTION TREATMENT

Despite economic slowdown, demand for an optimum sized and affordable housing exists, writes Ramesh Nair
The housing prices in Chennai which peaked in the summer of 2007 began declining in the second half of 2007 and continued the decline throughout 2008. The current trend can be attributed to fundamental reasons such as slowdown of the economy including the IT sector, declining investor sentiment due to global meltdown and increase in interest rates. The turmoil in the global financial markets placed further downward pressure on a housing market already weakened by high interest rates and affordability.
A slowdown was inevitable given the affordability factor. Although a few cities in India have witnessed hard landings, the Chennai market has witnessed only a soft landing . Although the slowdown has been gentle it has impacted overall investor sentiment due to price correction. The price correction is the steepest since 2002.
Speculative buying
The upbeat optimism that energized speculation and expectations of ever-rising prices from 2003 to 2007 is now succumbing to the fear of price correction. However, Chennai can still support stability in prices.
The slowdown is also impacting the growth of peripheral areas in Chennai with many developers slowing down their projects. Also the share prices of a number of listed local real estate companies have fallen in the last 12 months. In spite of all this, the demand for housing still exists thanks to the fundamentals of the local economy and the demand supply mismatch. The home loan market has been impacted with most housing finance companies disbursing at least 30% lesser in 2008 compared to 2007.
Exorbitant rates
With capital raising avenues from both equity markets and debt markets having tightened considerably, many developers borrowed at exorbitant interest rates. Meanwhile, the private equity funds are pushing and getting assured return to protect their downside risk.
Many projects that were priced above Rs. 50 Lakhs saw drop in sales volumes as well as price fall in 2008. Many potential buyers adopted a "wait and watch" approach in 2008 preferring to delay their buying decision. The number of apartments being sold in 4Quarter 2008 was also lower than 4Q 2007. Developers, who in 2007 were offering freebies such as free car parks, interest waiver during construction period etc have started giving direct discounts in prices in 2008. Developers, who were selling their entire projects in a few days, are now taking months to sell their unsold stock.
Properties with deficiencies in location or overly optimistic asking prices were slow to move. The past year saw return of negotiability in asking prices after a relatively long absence from the marketplace. Contrary to what was seen in 2005 and 2006, the number of investors and speculators who entered the market in 2008 was drastically lesser. The interest from real estate private equity investors decreased given the global financial meltdown. The market moved from a sellers' market to a buyers' market. Prices in many areas within the city remained stable, in spite of the slowdown.
Chennai market has not yet seen any rapid increase in unsold completed apartments and home loan foreclosures. Home prices across Chennai declined in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2008. Overall consumer confidence recovered marginally in December after the government announced home loans at 8.5 % and 9.25%, but remained low. The conditions in the housing market seem to be improving since December after several months of negative signs mainly driven by the success of projects priced below Rs. 25 Lakhs.
Outlook for 2009
It is expected that developers will construct smaller units without compromising on the amenities but reducing frills to make it more affordable. The year 2009 will be the year of affordable housing in Chennai. Residential yields are expected to remain stable. Interest rates have begun to reduce as inflation rate decreases. These factors should continue to maintain reasonable demand in 2009.
The market is adjusting after a period of unprecedented expansion. It's reasonable to expect that price appreciation will flatten or decline in some areas. The length and depth of the adjustment remains to be seen. Even today, there have been instances where entire projects, priced right, being sold within a few weeks of launch. Although the Chennai real estate story is real, large in size and will pay in the long run, developers need to realize that volumes are inversely related to price and lower the price higher the opportunity.

What better time of year to set personal and professional goals than right now – when all the alcohol from holiday parties makes me feel brave and invincible. So, here are my career-related New Year's resolutions for 2011:
1) I will take overflow calls for any contact center for free. For years I have sat upon my high horse acting like I know it all when it comes to contact centers and customer care. But the truth is, I haven't officially worked in one since the early 1990s. I feel it's time for me to once again truly immerse myself in contact center culture and madness; thus if your center is in need of an extra hand on the phones during peak periods and you don't mind that I work from home and am naked most of the time, then I'd be happy to handle calls for you for free.
I can't promise that I will provide the level of service that your customers have become accustomed to, or that I'll adhere to my schedule even half the time, but I can promise that I will do my best to not hang up on callers I dislike, and you can rest assured that I won't get mad during coaching sessions – as I'll likely not be listening.
2) I will learn how to tie a tie to gain more industry respect. Having worked from my home since 1994, and being obnoxious enough to not get invited to any weddings, I have lost all tie-tying capabilities. This, I have found, has hindered my ability to garner the level of respect I feel I deserve in the contact center industry. Regardless of how much insight and wisdom I provide while presenting on expert panels at conferences, being seated next to peers who are dressed to the nines while I'm wearing my flannel robe and Winnie the Pooh slippers sometimes costs me in terms of recognition as a subject matter expert on customer care. (Don't let the photo of me on this website fool you -- that guy in the suit is my stunt double.)
I wish people could just see past my pajama bottoms (well, not literally) and rate me based on the sharpness of my mind and full understanding of all things related to contact centers. However, if all it takes is for me to put on a collared shirt, a non-clip-on tie and some pants without a drawstring to earn a place among the customer contact elite, then I'm willing to go to Target today.
3) I will stop punching people who are in search of "industry standards" for everything. If I had a dime for every manager who has asked me for the (non-existent) industry standard for service level, abandonment, handle time, cost per call, or (insert the name of just about any other metric you can think of), I'd have enough money to finish building the dungeon I'm currently constructing to house all such managers.
Am I proud of my aggressive and violent treatment of these well-meaning professionals? Well, I don't know if proud is the word, but it does feel good to go ballistic on a guy who is looking for me to tell him what his and every other contact center's email response time objective should be. Nonetheless, I acknowledge that verbally and physically abusing relatively innocent managers and supervisors is not only wrong, but ineffective, too; most continue their futile search once they recover from the insults and injuries.
So, I promise to stop taking it upon myself to teach these poor contact center novices a lesson through violence. Instead I'll have a trained and certified goon from Chicago's South Side deliver the lumps that have for years left my hands swollen, thus hindering my typing efficiency.
Note from Greg's conscience: Greg is of course exaggerating in this post for entertainment purposes. He is not building a dungeon to house inexperienced nor incompetent contact center professionals – it's more like a large cage.

Should You Buy a Switch Or Just a Router?
A router is quite well known as a more sophisticated tool than either a hub or a switch. Network routers are found in small box-shaped equipments that are used to connect several computers.
There are several ports in the back or front of the equipment available with the routers, which provide the connection points for the computers, a connection for electric power as well as different LED lights that tell about the status of the device. Switches, hubs and routers have somewhat similar sort of appearance, but the inner workings of the routers is significantly different.
Routers, which are frequently used these days, have a specific design that allows them to join different area networks. On some significantly large corporate network as well as on the internet, these routers play the role of transitional destinations for traffic. The routers receive IP/TCP packets and they also identify the source by looking inside each packet, and then these packets are forwarded, as it is required to make sure that the data has reached its ultimate destination.
Routers, which are used in home networks, are known as broadband routers. These routers can join several networks. This type of routers are specially designed to connect the home (LAN) with the Internet (WAN) for Internet sharing, but contrary to this, neither switches nor hubs have the ability to join several networks or share some internet connection.
A home network that only has switches and hubs is needed to assign one computer as an entrance to the Internet connection. For sharing purpose, two network adapters are required for the home and the Internet i.e. for LAN and WAN. A router connects all the computers at home equally, and it offers the same entrance functions to all. For this reason, a router is considered a better option than a switch or a hub.
Furthermore, there are many other remarkable features in the broadband routers, which can't be seen in the traditional routers, as broadband routers are available with proxy support and DHCP server. Integrated firewalls are also available in many of these broadband routers. Similarly, broadband routers with wired Ethernet feature an integrated Ethernet switch.
With these routers, one can connect many different switches and hubs. Therefore, the local area network can be expanded by accommodating several Ethernet devices. In the networking that is usually done at home, switches and hubs exist just for wired networks. There is an integrated access point in Wi-Fi wireless routers, but it is not equivalent to wired switch.
Considering these qualities of routers, they appear as a better option for home networking as they are especially designed to offer better sharing and internet connectivity. Routers' specific designs and durability are two other factors, which make them a preferable device for home networking and internet sharing. Therefore, these are some factors, which indicate that router is a better option for networking and internet sharing, as they seem to perform well, in this kind of networking.

Book Of Justice #1: Genocide Express, by Jack Arnett
November, 1989 Bantam Books
I think I already see why this obscure, late-era men's adventure series only amounted to four volumes. Not that it's bad or anything, it just lacks much bite, and its main protagonist would be more at home hanging out in a beach house in Malibu than gallivanting around the world fighting evil. There's an off-putting New Agey type feel about Genocide Express, but not in the cool Ryder Syvertsen-esque way; rather, we have here a book where the protagonists say things like "What is reality?" and frequently hug one another.
I would've never heard of Book Of Justice if not for the series ad in Overload #2. As I wrote in my review of that trucker-action book, it's commendable of Bantam Books that they were even attempting to launch new men's adventure series while the genre was so ignobly dying. This first volume even sports a back-cover blurb by none other than Warren Murphy, who claims that Book Of Justice is "something new" in the action-fiction world. Well, it sort of is…but really it's kind of a take on The Liberty Corps, with a bit of SOBs tossed in. But judging from this first installment it's not as entertaining as either.
"Jack Arnett," who even has his own (fake) bio in the back, is really Mike McQuay (who also holds the copyright on the novel), a prolific writer I've not yet read, though I do have his time travel novel Memories, which I've meant to read for a while. McQuay also turned in some of the Gold Eagle Executioner books, so there's a bit of that feel here, though to be sure McQuay is clearly going for more of a realistic or perhaps serious vibe – not to mention he's throttled way back on the action. One will not only not find any of the Gold Eagle-mandated gun-porn in Genocide Express, but one also won't find much action, either!
The series setup is a little complicated. Basically, William Justice, an American whom the world knows as William Lambert, has just gotten his "island republic" Haven (apparently off the coast of France) inducted into the United Nations. It's a self-sustaining "corporate nation" comrpised of people who have been deported or kicked out or just plain left their own countries. Operating under the guise of Lambert International, Justice and his core group go around the world under political or entreprenneurial interests, but really their main goal is to combat evil and help the downtrodden. Apparently they have an arrangement with the US State Department, something unexplored here, so in that regard the series is similar in setup to The Liberty Corps, with Justice's army fighting wars for the US government. But that doesn't happen this time; it's all Justice's ballgame.
As usual with '80s men's adventure novels, the focus is on teamwork instead of the (much preferable, I think) lone wolf ethic of '70s men's adventure novels. Justice has a fairly big entourage, and McQuay doesn't help the reader out much as he barely describes most of them. Here are the main characters:
William Justice – I don't believe he's ever described, so the moussed-up "Just For Men" dude on the cover will suffice. Justice's schtick is that he gets emotionally invested in the people he wants to help, so that their fight becomes his personal fight. He has a vague backstory of suffering and loss; his wife was killed in a housefire sometime in the past, one started by a bomb. It's mentioned a few times that Justice is "certifiably crazy" and that his sanity is only a pretense, but come on, people – John Sullivan is insane. Johnny Rock is insane. Philip Magellan is real friggin' insane. But William Justice is practically Mr. Malibu – a guy who sprinkles wheat germ on his egg whites and periodically embraces his teammates and tells them how much he loves them.
Sardi – Turban and ankh-wearing Indian who is basically Justice's right-hand man. Has the ability to hypnotize people. Worries that Justice might become too insane someday.
Kim – Hotstuff Vietnamese/French babe with a fondness for throwing knives, watching cartoons while drinking bourbon, and arbitrarily announcing "I'm horny" or "I'm bored – let's fuck," to the male members of the team, though she never follows up on it. Also seems to disregard the occasional verb, ie "You stupid," and the like.
Kiki – Not to be confused with Kim (though I sure as hell did), Kiki is a "Nigerian cowboy" who wears Western clothing and calls people "podner."
Bob Jenks – Completely-undescribed dude Justice sprung from prison (with the help of the State Dept); Jenks was in prison for murdering a drug dealer in vengeance. Along with Justice he's the guy Kim makes occasional sexual propositions to – at one point he tries to take her up on it, but she turns him down because he doesn't have a rubber! (Welcome to the late '80s, my friends…)
There are others, including a State Dept contact and another guy who has an eyepatch and a prosthetic hand, who I hoped would feature a chainsaw or gun he could screw onto his arm a la Ash in Army Of Darkness, but he stays back in New York.
McQuay does a fairly good job juggling all these people, but as is typical with the team focus of '80s men's adventure entries, the "main" protagonist is thus mostly lost in the shuffle. Therefore none of these guys were ever as memorable as their '70s predecessors. And Justice isn't very memorable at all, though we're often told how much of a badass he is and how he lives for the "game" of fighting wars and taking down evil. As mentioned, his main thing is he gets involved in his wars, and he's especially riled up in this initial adventure, which brings to mind the plot of The Hunter #1.
On the day Haven is being inducted into the UN – a scene which features Justice making a blunt speech to the various heads of state about how they need to watch their asses around Haven(!) – an Ugandan native named David Lule approaches Justice's apartment in the UN building, his Americanized niece, Alena, in unwilling tow. David Lule wants Justice's help – like the A-Team, he and his people are there to help the unfortunate – and the Ugandan shows that his body has been inhumanly twisted, his eyes bulging out, by some mysterious plague. He then breaks his own neck in a seizure and dies on the spot.
Justice is all fired up and leaves immediately, first busting Bob Jenks out of protective custody. Not by force or by action, but by computers – again, welcome to the late '80s, my friends. Speaking of computers, McQuay wrote sci-fi and there is, I think, a bit of a Neuromancer vibe when an Ugandan nuclear submarine (a gift from the US) shows up in the harbor to take Justice et al to Africa; the crew is populated by apparent stoners, the sub reeks of incense, and the heavyset Captain roars "Prepare to dive, motherfuckers!" over the loudspeaker. All of it reminded me of the stoner Jamaican crew on that space station in Neuromancer.
McQuay adds some dark humor here and there – like when one of Justice's crew pops open a bottle of champagne right as David Lule's corpse hits the floor – but to be honest Genocide Express is pretty dour and slow-going. We get lots of detail on how Uganda was raped by Idi Amin and how the country is still rebuilding itself, and it's all very depressing and to tell the truth a bit more than what is needed for the genre.
You might notice one thing I haven't mentioned yet – the action. That's because there is none! Well, not until fairly late in the game, when Justice and team realize that sadistic General Asea of Uganda is plotting something with some KGB agents and even working with Amin himself, Asea turning out to be the tyrant's cousin. At this point Justice whips out his customary .45 and declares that the Republic of Haven is going to war.
But talk about The A-Team…I had bad flashbacks to that show, as the initial action scenes see a bunch of bullets flying but not a single person getting shot. It's all Justice's team, split up for various pursuits, running afoul of Asea's soldiers, engaging them in brief firefights, and running and ducking. The novel is a very bloodless affair, akin to the PG-13 dreck with generic photoshopped covers that fills the Thriller sections of bookstores today. Personally when I read these books I want rivers of blood, with exploding organs and brains blown out in chunky sprays of gore, with men puking their guts out as they shit their pants and die. But that's just me.
It only goes on to get even more unintentionally humorous, and friggin' fast, when McQuay expands on his New Agey vibe. First Justice suffers nightmarish visions of the people who were tortured in the hotel he's staying in, which years before was the torture palace of Idi Amin. Then later Justice, Sardi, and Alena Lule head into the jungle to find Alena's home village, from which the mysterious Mama Alice operates – David Lule told Justice to find Alice, who heads up a sort of Christian-voodoo cult.
"Paint me!" Justice screams as he goes native in the jungle, having a similarly reborn-into-savagery Alena whip out her lipstick and paint up his face and chest! Then they meet Mama Alice, who has like a thousand jungle warriors at her disposal; Justice is the prophecized "Windbringer," and Justice casually informs his crew that he has already been in "spiritual conversation" with Mama Alice(!). There follows an eye-rolling sequence in which Mama Alice commands Justice to "Dance! Dance!" in front of her warriors in a Golden Bough-esque ritual, the desired effect of which is for Justice to become one with the jungle people. Does it work? Of course it does.
Meanwhile Bob Jenks and Kim try to infiltrate the Ugandan army, a scene which sees the unforgettable moment of white guy Jenks using shoe polish to give himself blackface! The two are quickly caught and summarily beaten – it's the late '80s so there's zero lurid stuff with a nude and/or exploited Kim, as there would have been (and naturally so) in a '70s men's adventure novel. The two are sprung by one of those KGB agents, who turn out to be the good guys. Oh and Idi Amin is here, and there are also two Europeans who a few years before massacred a bunch of Ugandans so they could resttle the area to pursue their own twisted interests (one of 'ems named Merkle, which I thought was particularly ironic).
There are even Libyan soldiers afoot, and at length McQuay decides they are the main threat. They are working with Merkle and the other European, as well as General Asea and Amin; the sadists are mixing that body-destroying plague into locally-produced Joke Cola, which is eagerly quaffed by the jungle natives. Now Justice is real fired up, leading us, finally, into an action sequence, in which he takes a commandeered personnel carrier on an assault of the Joke factory. Violence is, again, bloodless, with the most graphic detail being when Kim cuts a Libyan soldier "in two" with an Uzi burst.
McQuay has gone so long without action that he just barrels on through this one and keeps going; learning that a train bearing the plague is headed for the capital of Uganda (ie the "Genocide Express" of the title), Justice commandeers a helicopter and gives chase. Still the action is almost in outline detail, with none of the juicy gore or jetting bloodsprays I demand in action pulp. But McQuay at least delivers his villains memorable ends. For one, Idi Amin is torn apart by the natives (off-page, though), and Justice forces General Asea to drink a can of that body-deforming Joke Cola!
For his good deeds Justice is gifted the nuclear sub by a grateful president of Uganda, along with its joint-smoking captain. Justice has also bullied the US President into confirming Haven's membership in the UN, something which was in jeopardy throughout the novel. And that's that. I can't say the book was terrible – McQuay shows a sensitivity for character that is unexpected in the genre, so there's that, but the problem is his characters are pretty boring. And so, ultimately, is Genocide Express.

Well I've broken into my box of Kit-Kat Chunky peanut butter bars, i have swapped all my stuff from my old purse to my new beautiful green one and I have worn my new shorts (funnily enough, they're green too). I woke up this morning feeling so much better so that's a belated birthday gift in itself.
I was reminded today (totally random thought as well) about a conversation I had with a friend when I was, hmmmmm, about 15. We met when a load of young people descended on my home church to do a weeks youth mission, and she was L.O.U.D. I'm talking seriously confident and charismatic. This conversation happened a little while after we met and she admitted that SHE had felt INTIMIDATED about ME. Yes, I wrote that right. Now you need to understand that I am way more confident now that I was as a teen. I was so shy around new people (ok, maybe I'm not that much more confident now because I still feel like a right lemon around people I don't know). So it knocked me for six.
I don't like the idea of anyone being intimidated by me. I'm so easily intimidated myself, I know how it feels. So I'm here to remedy this problem – if anyone else was to be so out of their minds as to feel intimidated by me. You know when you're nervous of public speaking you're supposed to picture the audience naked? Well don't you dare picture me naked!! The whole point of that is to make them seem less powerful to you and therefore you can find your confidence (isn't it awful that it always seems to be a battle of power?! ) And there is no better way to make yourself powerless than to throw confessions onto the table.
So for one night only, here are 5 real and raw confessions.
1. I have no idea what people are going on about when they use the word instagram. I know it's something to do with photos but after that you've lost me. When it pops up here and there I just nod and smile.
2. I am
petrified a teeny weeny bit afraid of old-school posters. It doesn't matter where you go, they're always staring at you.
3. I cannot add up in my head without using my fingers.
4. Some people think I'm really tough for labouring and giving birth twice with only gas and air but truth is I was too out of it with the gas and air to ask for anything else.
5. When we hadn't been going to Emmanuel long, one Sunday morning I came back from the toilet and Rob whispered to me that he had told one of the leader's I'd do a bible reading later on in the church service. I was so horrified and self conscious I grabbed the car keys and legged it. Yes and I'm a paid member of staff now.
So there you are. five reasons why not to feel at all intimidated by me.

Why Subiaco?
The Subiaco experience can best be described in one word: transcendent. As I think back on my own educational experience, I fondly recall my teachers, the campus, friends, and experiences. But now that I am older, I have slowly begun to realize that my connection to my alma mater was to the people who were there with me. Visiting campus now, I find that all remain are my memories. The buildings have changed, my teachers have all retired, and my friends are gone.
Subiaco is different. The Alumni and those of us lucky enough to work here have a similar fondness for the people associated with the place, but the affection is much deeper and does not fade. There seems to be something truly magical about Subiaco. It is difficult to explain, but those of us who "experience" Subiaco have a true and unyielding devotion to the place, the ground, even the stone in the building's façade. I know my clumsy attempts to describe this feeling falls short of my true sentiments, but perhaps you can begin to build an understanding of what Subiaco means to those of us who live, work, and pray here.
A Little About Me:
I came to work at Subiaco during the summer of 1999. In my time here I have held a multitude of positions. I've been a residential dean, coach, bus driver, teacher of various academic disciplines, assistant to the athletic director, and now counselor. I have enjoyed each of these positions and am happy to have been able to serve this community in so many different capacities.
In 2010, I was called upon to serve Subiaco in a way I had not anticipated. I was asked if I would consider becoming the school's counselor. After much thought and prayer, I accepted the position and the rest is history. I love being able to serve this school community and its students in any way that I can, but my move to counselor has been rewarding in ways that I could have never imagined. Getting to know and being able to help the diverse student population at Subiaco has truly been a blessing.
I have a number of hobbies. I enjoy gardening, anything that involves the outdoors, traveling, fishing, coin and card collecting, woodworking, making chain maille, and spending time with my wife Melissa. I can also admit that I love school. I take classes almost every summer. I believe that being a lifelong learner is important, especially for those called to the field of education.
