Day 24 of the #shortcuttostrength trainer and it was back day today. I usually enjoy back day as it can be hit in many different ways so keeps the training interesting and fun. I got to the gym and did a few warm up exercises and foam rolling but I really couldn't get focused into the workout. I felt pretty tired and low on energy for some reason I can only think it was because I was quite dehydrated from my spin classes the night before and I hadn't replenished my fluids as much as I should have. I did some weighted pull ups and some heavy pulldowns whilst I was waiting for the barbell to become free. I also tried a few random exercises/gym hacks and the one I did like was a form of jockey row which was great to help with warming up for deadlifts. I did a few warm up sets of deadlifts and they felt quite good so I put the weight up to 130kg and did two sets of 5 then thought it felt a bit lighter than it should be so I did my maths and realised I was supposed to have 135kg on the bar!…dammit! so to try and make up for it I put 140kg on the bar and managed to get 3 sets with that (the first being the video). The last set was only really 2 good reps though and I had to drop the weight as I just didn't have the strength. I finished with some straight arm pull downs but I still couldn't focus so I just called it a day. There was no real point to try and keep going as the reps would have been poor and it would have just annoyed me even more. I still go the main work done though so that's the main thing.

During my time here in Massachusetts I have had the privilege of baking for a wonderful group of college students and professors. I have made cakes for them at Christmas parties, graduation parties, and beginning of the year parties....any reason we could come up with to make a cake. In fact, the majority of cakes that you have seen on my blog during the past 3 years have been made for this group of folks. They have always given me the freedom to create any kind of cake I'd like. In return, they have lavished me with praise and always made me feel appreciated for my talents. If any of you are reading this, you have made cake making so much fun!
With the end of the school year I made what is probably my last cake for this group. I decided to go with a Lord of the Rings theme since there are quite a few fans in the group. One of them even speaks a bit of elvish...elvin...whichever. Anyway, the end result was a tower of Lord of the Rings cupcakes with a Hobbit hole feature cake.
Today I'll show you the cupcake toppers.
I chose a few of the icons from the story to make into tiny plaques to go on each cupcake. I found pictures of the Tree of Gondor, the eye of Sauron, the flag of Rohan, and the map of Thorin(not pictured). With the computer, I shrunk the pictures down to approximately 1 1/2 inches by 1 inch. Then I printed the images putting as many as I could fit on an 8 by 10 piece of paper. I had this paper copied as an edible image at my local grocery store. Using a knife and ruler cut out the individual images.
These images need some kind of backer. If you put them directly on the cupcake, they will absorb the moisture from the icing and melt. If you put the images on fondant they will last a little longer, but it is still not good enough. They would be floppy and colors running before the party is over. My solution was to put them on modeling chocolate. Modeling chocolate can be made in any color and will not absorb the moisture of the icing. It also allows you to make the toppers days in advance as long as you keep them out of the sun.
To make the little plaques, I rolled out the modeling chocolate to about 1/8 inch thick. I like to roll it out between two pieces of parchment paper. Once you have the desired thickness, peal away the top layer of parchment. Place the icing images on the modeling chocolate leaving space around each image for a frame. Gently roll over the images with a rolling pin to make sure they are well attached to the chocolate.
Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut out the images with an eighth of an inch frame. Slide a knife or spatula under the modeling chocolate to release it from the parchment. These little plaques do not need any drying time and can be added to the cupcakes immediately or stored at room temperature out of the sunlight for several days.
Next I'll show you how to make the Hobbit hole!

What can Minnesota learn from Finland's education system?
Tom Weber, Minnesota Public Radio, October 23, 2012 – Minnesota education experts and officials have often looked to Finland for guidance or hints on what a great education system looks like. Finland and Minnesota both have about the same size population, with around 5.3 to 5.4 million residents.
What's Finland doing that Minnesota is not? Pasi Sahlberg, an education expert in Finland, spoke to The Daily Circuit about the traits of his nation's education system that leads to such high achievement and other positive reviews. Sahlberg was in Minnesota last week.
Here's a transcript of Tom Weber's conversation with Sahlberg:
SAHLBERG: In many ways, the state [Minnesota], and the Scandinavian countries are similar. Not only because of the size, but also, I think people seem to appreciate and value same types of things. I think the solution here, cannot be, take the things A-B-C-D-E from the Finnish system or Swedish system or any other, and then say that we now things will be better, because they are not.
One of the fundamental things here, I think is that the issues that are not directly educational have to be included in their education policy and reform. And I'm talking about the health care and well-being policies and all these things that we are doing in kind of an extensive way in Finland and that seems to be kind of a difficult thing here in the United States to accept that for example we should be providing health care and school meals systematically for all the children all the children, everywhere every day.
WEBER: And also child care.
SAHLBERG: Exactly, yes. The early childhood development issue is extremely important.
WEBER: It's certainly, something leaders here in the Minnesota education circle say we need – all-day Pre-K, we need to be doing this…
SAHLBERG: That's the only way if anybody wants to have a school system where everybody will learn.
The rhetoric here in this country [USA] is that you want to close the achievement gap and make everybody ready for college. I think the only way to do that is to start from the early years and make sure that everybody will have access to day care.
When I look at Finland, for example, in this way, we have in many ways we [were] able to implement this child-friendly, day care policies thirty years ago because we have so many women in our politics deciding things. Women seem to be thinking very differently about the priorities when it comes to taking care of children or education.
WEBER: You've said things along the lines of "The United States has absolutely without a doubt some of the very best schools in the world, and, absolutely, some of the worst. And there's this huge range.
It's almost as if you're saying – and certainly correct me if I'm wrong – that the Finns maybe are getting credit because they're a little more 'playing in the middle,' – you might not be off the charts up but you're also not off the charts down.
SAHLBERG: Yeah. That's true but on the other hand you know if you look at the international evidence of how education systems are performing around the word particularly within the OECD (a group of wealthy, developed countries that the United States is, a member together with Finland), the America as a Union is not actually doing that bad.
You [the U.S.] are very close to the international average in terms of the kind of a distribution of quality and also the level of quality. So I think people often make a mistake by concluding, saying that the education system is really bad here and, I think I've seen many things and I've seen these exactly as you've said it. I've seen some of the best of the best schools, I've never seen better schools than I've seen here and I've also seen schools that are some of the poorest schools I've seen around the world.
The equity in education in this country is… it's not bad. It could be better but it's not bad. The quality, as well, if you look at the international studies conclude that it's not bad. It could be better but it's not bad.
So, your situation where you are trying to, you know, improve the system is very close to the overall average.
WEBER: What are the red flags you would throw out for Minnesota's education?
SAHLBERG: Well everybody here in this country has to take equity in education more seriously. And by equity – I want to make sure that we talk about the same thing – the equity in education, to me, [is the] extent the children's family background, in other words their parents' wealth and education, is determining their success. I think this is something that the state and this entire country has to probably rethink.
WEBER: So where do you start?
SAHLBERG: You could start by taking the early child development daycare policies seriously and making sure that every child has a good high-quality place to go to before they go to school.
Also, although you have a system for educating the children who have special needs, I think if you look around the world you will see that there are many different ways of doing that. For example, how Finland is – approaching the issue of different learners is very different to what it is here. We have much more sensitive lens through which we are looking at our classrooms and identifying those who should be helped than you have here.
I think you are more likely to provide help to the individual students and the children when the issues are visible enough. And what we are doing in Finland, and this is where we have invested a lot of resources and, and time as well to make sure we can identify these issues, as early as possible so they would never become visible.
WEBER: When people talk about Finland, for example, things including teachers – the esteem with which the profession is held – I believe it's like 10% of people who apply to become teachers are- that's all that actually gets in. It's only 10%, it's really rigorous.
SAHLBERG: That's right.
WEBER: And then there's also the conversation had about testing, and frankly the lack thereof in- in Finland. We look at that, from the US and say, "Wow, those are big. Those are huge." Do you agree with that, or are we making too much of that difference?
SAHLBERG: No I think both of these issues are, they are- they are important and they- they're very closely related things.
At least in the Finnish schools and Finnish education… because, you know how we see this thing is that if you have, highly educated teachers as we do, in our- in all of our schools, their all having masters' degrees, and they're all, educated too, not only to teach and find the best methods to help children learning but they're also educated how to evaluate and assess the students.
Because we have this situation of having highly-trained teachers and we are selecting, really, from the top of the high school graduates that we can rely on their judgment. And that's why we don't need, standardized testing systems like many other countries are having.
People often ask me here when I travel, particularly in the United States they say that, "How do you know that, kids are learning, if you don't measure them? If you don't have standardized testing?" And my reply always is that we ask them. We ask teachers [whether] they learning or not.
We are kind of a- more relying on the soft data… kind of the evidence that is coming from the professionals, rather than insisting that we need to have a hard evidence, we need to have a number, and the average or something like this, before we, we can answer the question whether there is learning or not.

I hope you are all well and are getting in plenty of crafting during this busy season. My card for today is for this weeks challenge at Penny's. The theme this week is Anything Goes, a nice simple one for you all. I have used a lovely Stamp Art Design by Kathryn image called Marie and I have made a fun Summery card to go with the lovely warm weather we are having at the moment.
Here it is;
Isn't she gorgeous? I just had to team her up with my new Echo Park Walking On Sunshine papers. These papers are so fun. I have used a couple of new Joy Craft dies that went perfectly with the look I was going for. The banner die is also new to me and is by Poppystamps.
I hope you like my card today. Thanks for dropping by.

Addiction Psychiatry
The Division of Addiction Psychiatry offers an ACGME-accredited program in addiction psychiatry. Graduates of the 12-month program satisfy all requirements and are eligible to take the ABPN subspecialty certification examination.
This program provides clinical services to individuals who have problems with drugs and alcohol, training for medical personnel in addiction treatment, and consultation to other programs that may address these issues. The faculty is comprised of Board Certified Psychiatrists with added qualifications in Addiction and other researcher and clinical staff with expertise in this field.
The specialty of Addiction Psychiatry offers evidence based integrated treatment for individuals who have co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders that make up the majority of people seeking behavioral health services so as to achieve the best treatment outcomes. This Division works to develop hospital and community resources available for people with these complex problems and to promote understanding of their development and treatment.
The fellowship in addiction psychiatry offers the opportunity to gain specialized skills in the care of patients who lives are complicated by the effects of substance use. The clinical rotations are primarily located in addiction treatment programs and offer experience in the various levels of care and treatment modalities available to address these problems. The emphasis is to understand addiction as a chronic brain disease that can be successfully treated by a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach including medications which target the underlying brain pathophysiology. Furthermore, it is now more the expectation, rather than the exception, that individuals with psychiatric problems may also have a substance use disorder. This means that expertise in working with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders is essential for competence as a practicing psychiatrist. The interplay of psychiatric symptoms with the effects of drugs and alcohol is a complex confounder in the treatment of both disorders. Addiction psychiatrists are the best prepared of all clinicians to provide the necessary care. The Addiction Psychiatry training experience takes place after the completion of training in General Psychiatry so the fellow is often able to function as a junior attending or consultant and gains the experience needed to succeed as an independent practitioner after graduation. Each of the program's faculty members are all experienced specialists in the treatment of addictive disorders and provide the fellow with important professional mentoring. The trainee learns about the current behavioral health systems of care and by the end of training is easily employable and can often find leadership positions in this developing field. Finally, completion of the Northwestern fellowship conveys the privilege to gain further Medical Board certification in Addiction Psychiatry, professional recognition of the highest degree.

"Tell me one last thing, " said Harry. "Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
Dumbledore beamed at him, and his voice sounded loud and strong in Harry's ears even though the bright mist was descending again, obscuring his figure.
"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"

Andy Pettitte's legendary work ethic and competitiveness might have had a negative effect on his road back from a fractured left ankle.
An X-ray taken Friday didn't show the amount of healing Dr. Chris Ahmad, the Yankees' team physician, wanted to see.
"Obviously it's healing up, but it hasn't healed up as much as [Ahmad] thought,'' Pettitte told The Post before last night's game against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.
Pettitte, 40, pointed to his workout program on the recent West Coast tour that started in Oakland and ended in Seattle as a possible reason for the slower healing.
"In Seattle it swelled up,'' Pettitte said. "I did a little too much in Seattle. Now I am laying low.''
Pettitte threw off flat ground with his foot in a boot in Oakland, but wasn't spotted on the field during the three days in Seattle.
"[Ahmad] didn't see the healing in weeks two to four that he saw in the first two weeks,'' Pettitte said. "I have to take it easy.''
When Pettitte will be able to throw off a mound isn't known.
"I think it's healing, but it's not at the point where he can get off the mound,'' manager Joe Girardi said.
Pettitte suffered the injury on June 27 when he was struck on the foot by a ball hit by the Indians' Casey Kotchman.
The original projection was for Pettitte to return by Sept. 1. Now, that might be in jeopardy, although neither Pettitte nor anybody associated with the Yankees said that.
The Yankees' brass knew about the slower healing situation, and with the trade deadline at 4 p.m. tomorrow, they have to decide if there is anything in a shallow starting pitching pool worth making a deal.
One avenue the Yankees could take is to bolster their bullpen with the knowledge David Phelps, who has been very good in relief, could step into the rotation. The Royals' Jonathan Broxton is available, as is the Rockies' Rafael Betancourt, but there doesn't seem to be a match between Colorado and Yankees.
The Yankees expect Joba Chamberlain back from the disabled list soon, which also should help the bullpen.
Broxton will be a free agent following the season and is making $7 million this year. Betancourt is making $4 million this year, is slated to make $4.25 million next season and has a mutual option for $4.25 million in 2014 with a $250,000 buyout.
As for the starting market, there might be upgrades available but at what price?
The Rays aren't going to deal James Shields to a division rival. The Marlins' Josh Johnson is making $13.75 million this year and will take down $13.7 million next year. In addition to the salary, the Marlins would want premier prospects, which is something the Yankees don't want to move. The Cubs' Ryan Dempster will be a free agent after this season and their Matt Garza is arbitration-eligible next year after making $9.5 million this year. The Royals' Bruce Chen is affordable ($4.5 million this year and next), but the money also means the Royals don't have to move him.
One thing to remember is the Yankees didn't do anything at the deadline last year and a primary reason was they didn't want to take on any money for this season.

Know Your Rights – Part 10
The Tenth Amendment is one I cite like NRA members cite the Second. I often refer to it because I think it validates my call for the abolition of the Department of Education (among many, many others.) I'm very passionate about K-12 education and I do not like that the federal government has their hands in it. The Tenth Amendment declares; "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
Education falls into the purview of the powers not delegated by the Constitution, and therefore disqualifies the federal government from having any right to regulate, constrict or control it. You can read more about how the government is actively and continuously ignoring this amendment in regard to education in a blog I wrote a couple years ago, titled "A Federalist View on Education."
The Tenth Amendment is so important because it keeps the idea of Federalism, and a small central government alive and well. It empowers the states and the people, keeps the federal government in check, and gives us freedom. The Founding Fathers were very insistent about the creation of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments because they wanted to ensure that the government knew that the powers not designated in the document were to be promised to the people. Learn more about the Founding Fathers in My Dinner with the Founding Fathers.
Be sure to read the rest of the Know Your Rights series, and once you know them, never forget them. It is up to each of us to defend our rights, and the rights of our neighbors. Stand up against tyranny in all forms. To help arm yourself with the freedoms of the Constitution, get your free pocket Constitution from Hillsdale College; and if your travelling this Summer, order yourself a metal Bill of Rights card to stick it to the TSA.
Sic Semper Tyrannus!

Did you ever wonder what the "empirical" part of your "empirical research" was all about? This is the topic we discussed about while walking through Brooklyn, or, at least, the Dutch original version of it: Breukelen.
How is empirical research empirical?
Over the course of our research we collect material. We interview people, observe practices or gather other kinds of "data", papers, pictures, numbers. We do "empirical" research. But how?
What is "empirical" about your research? What kind of material do you use? What kind of material do you find easy to engage with? Which one is more difficult?
How do you mobilize your material? How do you mobilize it in papers? How in conference presentations or discussion?
What do you make your material do? Does it guide the reader or disconcert him/her? Does it convince, demonstrate, puzzle or to upset the reader?
And what does your material make of you – and of your plans, politics and theories?

Cold turns my thoughts to comfort food, and shrimp is a favorite.
Denny and I enjoyed a dish called Armadillo Hunters' Shrimp, adapted from The Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Cookbook. I'm not sure about the connection between armadillo hunters and shrimp (aren't armadillo hunters otherwise known as road-kill removers?) but dinner was so good there were no leftovers.
And it was comforting to eat (mildly) spicy, succulent shrimp in front of the fire during our recent cold snap. As a bonus, the dish is quick and healthy.
1 tsp fennel seeds*
1 tsp coriander seeds*
*The fennel and coriander give this dish an intriguing twist that deepens the tomato and sweetens the shrimp.
2 tblsp vegetable oil
4 green onions, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium jalapeno pepper, minced (if you're not fond of heat, try a poblano pepper instead)
3/4 pound grape tomatoes, cut in half
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp coarse-ground pepper
1/2 tsp kosher salt
~2 tblsp dry sherry (or more your if mixture seems dry)**see note
1 lb. medium peeled shrimp
**Note: If you don't have sherry, use white wine. A rich Chardonnay would be good. For sherry, use any sherry good enough to drink. I usually pour myself a little thimble to sip as I cook, under the guise of quality-control. Currently I'm cooking with Osborne Amontillado, a Spanish medium sherry aged four years in oak barrels. It adds a smidgen of smoky undertone.
Heat a big nonstick skillet, throw in the fennel seeds and coriander seeds. Toast over medium heat until fragrant. Remove and grind coarsely (or pulverize with a mortar and pestle). Set aside.
Add oil to skillet and heat until very hot, almost smoking. Add green onions and jalapeno, cook a couple of minutes until softened. Add garlic. Stir to mix.
Add tomatoes, oregano, pepper, sherry, fennel and coriander, and salt. Reduce heat to medium. Stir and cook another few minutes. When tomatoes begin to wrinkle and split, add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp turn pink, 2-4 minutes.
Serve over yellow rice. I stir Spanish smoked paprika and turmeric into basmati rice before adding the water. The paprika adds toast and the turmeric earthiness.
Makes 2-4 servings depending on hunger and politeness.
Add a salad with a fresh lemon vinaigrette, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or light Pinot Noir, and you'll enjoy a feast fit for a new decade.

Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran issued the following statement following Senate approval May 24 of a 60-day extension of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in conjunction with an agreement to begin debate on a long-term reauthorization measure in June:
"I am pleased an agreement has been reached that will allow a short extension of the National Flood Insurance Program, as well as more extensive Senate floor consideration of long-term extension proposals. As we head in to this year's hurricane season, preventing a lapse in the program is critical. I believe it is vitally important that the Senate pass a long-term extension of the program to provide certainty for homeowners and the real estate market in general."
Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker "has done an outstanding job in pushing for language that will help delineate between wind and water damage in hurricane scenarios along the Gulf Coast. With that said, the bill the Senate will consider still contains provisions that are very troubling for states like Mississippi that have extensive investments in a network of strong levees. It is absolutely critical that we modify or strike these provisions before final passage, and I am optimistic that we can do that."
Cochran and Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor have raised concerns about Section 107 of the committee-approved NFIP reauthorization legislation. As written, Section 107 would designate as "areas of special flood hazard," land currently protected by properly constructed and maintained flood control structures.
Last November, Cochran, Pryor and other Senators wrote the Senate Banking Committee:"Areas protected by properly constructed and maintained levees, dams, and other flood control infrastructure should not be arbitrarily declared areas of special flood hazard. Under this provision, an area protected by a healthy levee that has a 1 in 500 chance of flooding in a given year based on actuarial analysis would be required by the federal government to carry flood insurance and adopt land-use restrictions, while an area not protected by a levee that has a 1 in 101 chance of flooding in a given year would not be required to purchase the insurance. In addition to the federal requirement to purchase insurance triggered by such a declaration, these communities would be forced to adhere to heightened land use and control measures, in effect imposing federal zoning ordinances, depriving these communities and citizens of local control, diminishing property value, and reducing local revenue generation."

Published: 26-Oct-2015 | Published By: Market Research Store
Zion Research has published a new report titled "Automotive Heads-up Display Market (Combiner-projected HUD's and Windshield-projected HUD's) for Mid-size Cars and Premium Cars: China Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis and Forecast, 2014 - 2020". According to the report, demand for automotive heads up display market in China was valued at USD 190 million in 2014 and is expected to reach 2,869.0 million in 2020, growing at a CAGR of 66.67% between 2015 and 2020.

An automotive heads-up display which is also known as an auto-HUD is a transparent display that displays data in the car without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints. Automotive HUD displays information onto a transparent screen, a combiner, or windshield. Key applications markets for HUD's include automotive and aviation industry. The situational awareness and enhance safety margins in automotive and aviation areas are increased due to HUD. HUD's enable driver to notice the required data without looking down at the dashboard or to another place; hence no focal adjustment of the eyes is required. Combiner, projector unit, display panel, and video generator are some primary components of HUDs.
Key factor driving automotive heads-up display market in China is increasing demand of cars. Car market in China is growing at a rapid pace and it is with 19.41 million cars, an increase of 7.36% compared to 2013. China is the largest producer of mid-size cars worldwide, making it one of the largest addressable mid-size cars HUD markets. With increasing number of installations of cars, demand for Mid-size Car and Premium Car is expected to increase. Moreover, advances in the technology and entry of the new players in the China automotive heads-up display market are expected to lower down the price of heads-up display.
This in turn is expected to boost the demand for automotive heads-up display market in China. However, high installation cost and uncertain economic conditions across China is expected to hold the growth of automotive heads-up display.
Combiner-projected HUD's, Windshield-projected HUD's are the product segment of automotive heads-up display market. Windshield-projected HUDs segment dominated the automotive heads-up display market in 2014 with over 90% share in total market. Windshield-projected HUDs are witnessing strong demand from end users. However, HUDs have low adoption in mid-size cars because of their high cost. But, with developments in display technology and declining ASP of HUDs, it is expected that combiner- projected HUDs will witness an increase in their market share.
Some of the key industry participants in China automotive heads-up display market include Bosch, Continental, Delphi Automotive, Denso, Nippon Seiki, Panasonic, Visteon, Yazaki.
This report segments the china market as follows:

Last month, a truck traveling on Georgia's I-285 northbound near Washington Road carried a load that was not properly tied down. A ladder flew off the truck and into the road, causing a chain reaction car accident. First, one vehicle hit the ladder in the road, and then other vehicles, including a tractor trailer that ended up jack knifed on the road, hit the first vehicle, according to news reports.
Our Atlanta car accident attorneys know that this negligent truck driver could be both criminally and civilly liable for the accident and any damages caused, including the death of a west Georgia woman in the first vehicle and the injuring of two more victims, one of whom was transported to the hospital. The deceased woman, 59-year-old Alma Rowland-Johnson, was tragically just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and leaves behind a loving, grieving family. Col. Mark McDonough, Georgia Department of Public Safety Commissioner, made the same point to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "Anytime that, because of your negligence, you cause the death of somebody, you can be held criminally liable. In this instance, the wrongful death of another is specifically tied to the (accident). That's what is known as vehicular homicide."
After the accident, officials were still looking for the driver of the truck with the ladder. But Col. McDonough noted that he or she will probably be caught because of the ladder, saying, "Most things that have been purchased recently have a bar code that shows who bought it, when it was purchased and where it was purchased." So, sloppy drivers should be aware the police can catch them even if they drive away from the scene.
Col. McDonough had good advice for drivers carrying loads, and advice that everyone should really pay attention to and follow, "If you're hauling a load, make sure that you strap it down well. And if you're on the highway or the road, don't drive so close to other cars, and leave some room … leave a way out in case vehicles around you lose control, so you have a way to avoid a collision." Ms. Rowland-Johnson's sister, Brenda, also offered a plea for safety, "That's hard to know that your sister is gone just because of something like that – somebody's carelessness. That they didn't take that extra time to make sure that it was strapped down and secure." Just like with speeding and DUIs, these kinds of accidents are avoidable if drivers take proper care and are responsible.
Atlanta Car Accident Attorneys
If you or a loved one has been injured by a negligent driver, including through failure to secure his or her load as illustrated above, the personal injury attorneys at Sammons & Carpenter can help you understand your case and how to move forward. Our experienced attorneys may be able to help you get just compensation for your injuries or for a wrongful death.

Presented in Indonesia International Communication Conferece 2010, November 22-23
Communication Technology Development and the New Media
Communication always has a connection to the development of technology. Invention of the new kinds of communication technology, hardware or software, in the end will has impact to the way we communicate. The new way we communicate defined by this kind of communication technology. The public communication finally will be highly influenced by how the communication technology itself developing.
Innovation of technology at first came from human needs for any tools to help them to do something. McQuail (2000) said innovation always come and adapted from human needs for social change in the society. Any change within the society will be influencing the technology and further more in the way how communication technology adapted that change.
Indonesian society is also facing the same condition. If we can say this society gradually becoming an information society, as the consequence is any form of the communication technology development will impact the Indonesian social and political life.
If we discuss computer as one of communication technology then we cannot avoid talk about internet or new media. New media cannot be simplified into technological application for transmitting message or connected people into communication.

Why Techies Need a Business Partner
December 03, 2013 at 11:06 AM
While thinking about technology founders the other day, I came across this great post from Lori Collins. It is spot on advice for tech founders. Tech startup founders might even take this expert advice a step deeper to search out an 'entrepreneurial' who is proven in the startup world…
Last week I had two very different conversations with two very similar companies. Both had technical founders in the same general industry, but one founder had managed to recruit a team including a former McKinsey consultant, an investment banker and a seasoned sales lead – all willing to work for equity. The other founder was waiting for funding to recruit a business partner. Which company would you bet on?
If you need a business partner, don't wait for funding. It is highly unlikely that funds will come first. Investors want to see a team, and you'll need some business savvy to put together a pitch or even a grant request.
Here's some advice for recruiting business partners:
- Get exposure to the business community. Join networks, incubators, accelerator programs or university challenges to get on the radar. Let people know that you are open and interested in finding a strong business partner.
- Sell your vision. Money follows vision. And that money includes people working for no cash because they believe in the vision. If a business person can see the market potential and the uniqueness of your product, they may be willing to take the risk to come join you.
- Be willing to share equity. It makes no sense to hold onto 100% of nothing, when you could recruit a team to build you company and own 25% of something. Ownership is a strong motivator, so share some upside when you find talent interested in creating the future with you.
- Be willing to share cash. When the cash does come in, from investors or revenue, then it's time to start paying enough to keep your team together. The dance of negotiation will determine how much and how soon, but the carrot of a strong vision for the future will keep negotiation on your side.
- Be willing to share control. New owners want to put their fingerprints on the strategy and priorities for the company. You may think they are crazy, and maybe they are, but that's where your powers of persuasion and willingness to share risk come to bear. Your new partners want to succeed as much as you do, and are investing their sweat and time as well as giving up other income opportunities. Trusting the intelligence and intention of your team is the only way to go.

About Lori:
Lori has always loved starting new things, and cut her teeth building new businesses at great companies like American Express, Fidelity Investments, Bank of America, and LendingTree. Just recently she served as President of Abundant Power Solutions, an emerging energy financing venture in Charlotte. She was an early adviser to Clean Power Finance in San Francisco, and a Board member then CEO for SmartHippo, a startup in Montreal positioned as the "TripAdvisor for financial services" that provided consumer ratings and reviews on lenders.
As a member of the original Executive Team at LendingTree, she helped grow the company from $7 million to $476 million in revenue over seven years and participated in the sale of LendingTree (NASDAQ: TREE) to IACI (NASDAQ: IACI) in 2003 for $750 million. It was a wonderful ride in many respects – an amazing values-based culture ("winning despite obstacles"), a focused mission to be the dominant online loan exchange, and awesome all-day Halloween parties.
At Bank of America, she led the mutual fund marketing team that grew assets from $28 to $68 billion. At Fidelity Investments, she helped launch their mutual fund marketplace and led the team to drive assets from zero to more than $9 billion in three years. At American Express in New York, she helped envision and launch American Express Gift Cheques as well as various travel insurance products. She's a Tarheel alumni and also admits to being a Wildcat, although she didn't have much time for sports in grad school at Northwestern.
What the Arts Have to Do with It
Inspiration comes from many places, and for Lori, it's the arts. Lucky to be in the inaugural class of the Innovation Institute at the McColl Center for Visual Arts, she and her classmates learned the discipline of creative thinking from artists, sculptors and craftsmen. Now she has the great pleasure of working with Dwight Rhoden, a world class choreographer and founder/owner of Complexions Contemporary Ballet in New York, to create a new work for the NC Dance Theatre's Innovative Works annual performance. She's learning the creative process from Dwight by commissioning his work, and savoring the rare treasure of "angel investing".
Happening Now
Lori currently serve as a strategic adviser and coach for emerging ventures, particularly in the areas of marketing, business development and strategic growth. She's a coach for SEED20 innovators and is helping launch the Social Innovation Fellowship, an accelerator in Charlotte, NC for social entrepreneurs.

The Journal of Law Reform seeks to improve the law and its administration by providing a forum for discussion that:
- Identifies contemporary issues for reform efforts,
- Proposes concrete means to accomplish change, and
- Evaluates the impact of law reform.
In short, the Journal prefers a submission that not only describes an area of the law that warrants reform, but prescribes a means of accomplishing that reform. The Journal also welcomes multidisciplinary and empirical work as contributions to this discussion.
Types of Submissions
The Journal encourages the submission of unsolicited manuscripts for publication. While the Journal primarily looks for unsolicited articles written by law professors, judges, practitioners, and academics from other disciplines, it also welcomes submissions of unsolicited manuscripts from law students and recent law school graduates whose pieces stem from their academic work as law students. However, the Journal only accepts unsolicited student writing on a limited basis and will do so when such work is deemed to be of exceptional quality. The Journal classifies the work of students and nonprofessional recent graduates as signed "notes," rather than "articles," and accords the student author's full biographical information.
Submission Requirements
Each manuscript should be typed, double-spaced and generally conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (18th ed. 2005) and The Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed. 2003). Each manuscript should be accompanied by a cover letter giving a brief overview of the manuscript and providing author contact information including name, e-mail address, phone number, and mailing address. Enclosing a résumé, a list of previous publications, and/or a vita with the submission, while not necessary, can also be helpful for the Journal's reviewers.

The much-discussed prospect of a large-scale commercial urban farm in Detroit is close to becoming reality even as the businessman behind the effort warns he has purchased a suburban plot as a backup.
Businessman John Hantz tells Laura Berman of The Detroit News he's prepared to break ground on a 40-acre farm at the Michigan State Fairgrounds pending state approval of the purchase.
"We could start overnight," he said, referring to his company, Hantz Farms. "We've got the equipment, everything, ready to go."
Hantz, who made his fortune as a financial services mogul, previously pledged to invest up to $30 million of his own money on developing up to 5,000 acres of pod-like farms within the city, championing Detroit's potential to be "the nation's leading example of urban farming and become a destination for fresh, local and natural foods and become a major part of the green movement."
His purchase of the fairgrounds land is contingent on the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority buying the additional 120 acres to develop the city's first metropark and reviving the fair after the state cut funding last year.
While Mayor Dave Bing has offered public support for the concept of urban farming, Hantz tells Berman the city is, unfortunately, living up to its reputation as a tough place to do business.
April 6, DetNews.com: Even if Hantz fails to get the fairgrounds plot, he's determined to grow crops. "I've got backup plan after backup plan," he says, including a suburban farm site he bought recently. Where? He won't say. "But it got done in two weeks," he says, "and it was cheaper than in the city, and everyone was very welcoming."Hantz is likely trying to create leverage with city and state leaders over ongoing negotiations to purchase additional land, and the suggestion he could develop suburban land instead carries significant weight.
...Hantz said the city is over-valuing land that has no value until someone can pay for it. He points out that the city is paying for vacant land that costs the city in taxes and maintenance.
The crisis that spawned his idea to use vacant land for for-profit agriculture has yet to create real momentum. We're still stuck. "That's the opposite of how it should be," he says, during an interview in his Southfield office.
Complicating his efforts is the fact that Detroit's zoning code doesn't recognize agriculture as a legal use of land or allow appropriate tax rates. The City Planning Commission last month suggested a number of policy changes to the City council aimed at legitimizing urban farming in the city, but the process could take time.
Crain's reports Hantz Farms President Michael Score is expected to discuss the fairgrounds development today with Craig Fahle on WDET. Hantz himself is scheduled to speak Wednesday as part of a panel on the business of urban agriculture hosted by the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

THE WILD GEESE® Irish Whiskey is now available at London's Nightjar, which has recently been recognised as one of the world's best bars. Nightjar moved up a place from last year's competition to win second place, proving to be the perfect place to enjoy The Wild Geese®.
Our friends at Nightjar have been enjoying THE WILD GEESE® Irish Whiskey, using it to create bespoke cocktails, which we'll be sharing on our Facebook page.
Nightjar's co-owner, Edmund Weil, describes the bar as having 'old school glamour, surprising cocktails, live music, top service and a very special atmosphere in a space which is never overcrowded'.
Nightjar narrowly missed out on first place, which went to the Langham Hotel's Artesian bar, which serves THE WILD GEESE® Rum.

When riding a motorcycle, your safety should be your main concern and having the appropriate gear is one of the best ways that you can make riding a safer experience. Possibly the most important piece of gear that you can have is a helmet. Riders who don't wear a helmet are far more likely to suffer head injuries when involved in an accident than those who do wear a helmet. Different kinds of helmets can offer different levels of protection.
The two most basic types of helmets that you can buy are either an open or full face helmet. Open helmets do not cover a person's face at all while a full face helmet provides coverage over the jaw and visor. There have been various studies into which type of helmet provides less risk of injury and both provide adequate protection to your head, which the standard is from the skull cap area from above the eyebrow to above the top of the ears and around the back of the head. However a full face helmet provides an additional decrease in the chance of suffering from a facial injury or the chin and jaw area.
Even though safety should be your top priority, there are still other considerations to take into account before purchasing a helmet. While it may seem less important, comfort should be taken into consideration. When you think about how many hours overall you'll spend with it on your head, you'll want to make sure that it is comfortable.Ensuring the helmet fits well will help you feel more comfortable and make sure that your helmet doesn't move too much in case of an accident, no matter which style of helmet you choose. Make sure that the helmet doesn't move around but also doesn't place pressure on your forehead. Also make sure that your peripheral vision is not at all blocked by the helmet as well.
Other comfort issues to take into consideration are weather and other hazards while riding on the road. A full face helmet will provide better protection against the elements than an open face helmet. This will make riding easier, safer and more comfortable when out in weather such as rain. A full face helmet will also provide you more protection against things like flying stones or insects which are both common for any vehicle on the road. In an open helmet if you encounter these things there is no barrier between your face and these things which could make your riding experience more hazardous or distract you from concentrating on the road and other traffic.
Taking all of this into consideration, it seems when it comes to safety and comfort a full face helmet would be the preferred choice, however it all comes down what your personal preference is. An open helmet is still considered safe and it might work better for you. Going to a store and trying on as many helmets as you can before deciding on what style is more comfortable for you and talking to staff about their recommendations is a great idea before settling on what you want.

Postcode Anywhere (PCA) is to offer its own web services platform to developers, enabling customers to upload their own data to the cloud and build custom services around it.
The "MyServices" platform has been designed to allow developers to rapidly build APIs and web services around any data either hosted on their own machine, or uploaded to the cloud. It will be offered to testers for free while the service is in beta.
The company is hoping to tap into the growing drive for more openness. For example, the company said. UK local authorities, for instance, are now obliged to publish all expenditures over £500 by 2011. Using My Services this can be achieved in a few minutes. The company said that the service could also be used to provide customers with more up-to-date information.
It's the company's own background in providing postcode information. "We provide software on address services and for that we used a cloud-based approach. Superficially what we do is simple – we need to make software robust enough for our clients," said Jamie Turner PCA's IT director. "With our expertise, we decided to open up the software to a broader audience and let developers use it."
Turner said that the company offered developers a more rounded service than those offered by the likes of Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure. "We're much more flexible than these. For example, Amazon has no proper SQL offering and Azure is very Microsoft focused. We support a variety of formats"
He also said that as a British company, PCA could guarantee that all data is held within the UK, something that is a concern to many user organisations.
The company is launching the service this week and, as a special challenge to developers is offering a free iPad for the best new service developed using the platform.
The service has got the thumbs-up from cloud computing guru, David Linthicum, CTO of The Bick Group. He said: "What's unique about this is the ease of creating the feed. While you can certainly build APIs around your data via weeks of custom development, or leverage one of the existing players that provide API enablement services, the cost of development and management headaches make this path impossible for traditional enterprises.
Details of the new service can be found on PCA's website.

A$AP Rocky made sure to keep the surprises coming for his second weekend at Coachella. First, he went in with his new Hit-Boy-produced single "Goldie" from his upcoming debut album Long.Live.A$AP. When A$AP rapped the line "And I'm so 'bout it, 'bout it, I might roll up in a tank," the crowd went wild when Master P and the No Limit soldiers joined him on-stage. P performed the street anthem "Make Em Say Uhh!" and paid tribute to Florida teen Trayvon Martin with A$AP by performing "I Miss My Homies." They listed the names of some fallen greats like Tupac, Pimp C, and more. Watch it above.

There are several different ways you can prepare it (whether to put cabbage in the batter or or cook separately), what you put on top, whether you cook the the "toppings" into the pancake, or whether you pile it on top. But this is my favourite way of doing it.
The "pancake"
- 300 g flour
- 240 ml water
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 - 1/2 cabbage thinly sliced
- Japanese mayonnaise
- Okonomiyaki sauce (I buy this from my local asian grocer, but you can substitute bbq or worcestershire sauce, thickened with cornflour and some sugar)
- Whatever else you want: mushroom (I cook them in soy sauce, mirin and a bit of sugar), spring onions, pork floss, minced pork or beef, seafood, noodles, shredded nori, onions...
Finely slice the cabbage. Combine the eggs, water and flour to make a smooth batter. Stir through the cabbage. You can also add shredded nori to this mix too (just get a sheet of nori and cut it up with a sharp knife or scissors). Cook it up as you would a pancake.
While you're making your pancake, cook up your mushrooms, onions, whatever else you're having with it. Pile it on top. Cover with mayonnaise and okonomiyaki sauce and eat!
If you want to see how mine turn out, they look EXACTLY like fellow blogger, f00d for thought's attempts. As mentioned in my previous blog I don't currently have a camera to show you mine... but check that out for an idea!

100 Verses ~ Week 7
However, this week I tried a new trick to help aid me in really nailing down these references. I am finding it helpful so I thought I would share it with you. I write all of my memory verses on index cards and carry them with me in the car. I like to have my kids quiz me on car rides. Generally one of the kids will read the reference to me and I will recite the verse. But this week I asked my daughter, A10, to read just the first 3 words of the verse. Then I had to come up with both the reference and recite the entire verse from memory. This was excellent practice for me!
The verses this week are close to my heart and I am praying that we not only memorize these verses this week, but apply them to our lives. May your homes and families be richly blessed!
This Week's Verses
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 "These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."

Is this a resurgent Liverpool I see before me?
Rafa fooled and amazed all and sundry today by trotting out the same squad that gave Besiktas eight in the midweek.
Initial reports suggest that he ran out of unused team sheets before kickoff.
With his propensity to keep everyone on edge, I'm beginning to think Rafa derives a certain perverse pleasure from toying with peoples' sensibilities.
It will be interesting to monitor how people are going to weigh in on the squad selection and the resultant outcome. Certainly Rafa will view it with a wry grin. Because as crisp as his unchanged starting lineup was, it was his choice of subs at a combined price of £47m that cracked Fulham's defense.
It proved to be the unlikely goalkeeper-to-substitute combination that did what his starters failed to do — break the deadlock.
In typical languid fashion, Torres took Reina's clearance on his chest and weaved his way into the 18-yard box putting a left-footed effort through a defender's legs and by a wrong-footed Niemi.
Benny Onion was fantastic again as was Voronin, both of whom nearly put Liverpool on the scoreboard in the second half.
Crouch almost broke his Premiership duck on the stroke of half time with a looping header that found the crossbar. And when Bocanegra was forced to scythe him down just outside of the of the 18-yard box, the ref pointed to the spot. You can't blame the ref for getting it wrong. When Crouch goes down it's like watching a box of straws explode — where it starts and ends is almost impossible to fathom.
It must be said, we looked good. There was more creativity in front of net and a focused urgency that has come across as desperation to this point in the season. If any criticism be made, there were a couple of times where we should've kicked in the front door instead of trying to coax it open with cute touches.
It may be too early to get excited, but after two good showings the future is looking bright again. With another International break looming, we can only hope that history is not in a repetitive mood. If we cast our minds back, it was this exact situation that precipitated an on-song Liverpool inexplicably returning in 6's and 7's after a tremendous start to the '07/'08 campaign.
I disagree with most of what is pinging around on popular convention wavelengths about Torres. Yes, of course Torres would look agitated on the bench. No one likes riding pine. But he didn't need to start the game. He found his way into the game at exactly the right moment.
Why put Torres needlessly in harm's way when he has suffered two similar injuries right on the back of one another. We need look no further than Michael Owen to see the dangers in rushing someone back from injury.
And look at the model of latter-game saints. Ole Gunner Solskjaer, the Baby-Faced Assassin — is a perfect example. He was a fantastic striker in his own right, but he made his living coming in off the bench and exploiting tired, compromised defenses in the late stages of games. Same as David Fairclough.
There are obvious differences — Torres is not a ginger ninja and neither of the other two were record signings. It is understandable that for the money Liverpool spent, the expectation would be that management should wring every last bit of talent and use out of him. I'm no bean counter, but I'd say the yield Liverpool got from his twenty minutes was well worth their investment.

Haito is one of the
most feared criminals that live in Riten Kyo. Son of a Japanese woman and
a foreign man, he, along with his fellow-in-crime Yaci
Izanagi, have terrorized the locals, and no one dares to put a halt
to them. The Samurai squad proves to be no match for Haito, who easily
takes advantage of his superior skills and abilities to squeeze money out
of his poor victims.
A former bodyguard gone bad, Haito has a sickening
obsession for blood, especially since he loves the color: red. He has grown
to love blood, since Haito himself, is affected with a terrible sickness,
that causes him to have blood-coughing seizures. To control this, Haito
often drinks from a special potion to sooth the pain and grant him extreme
abilities. Haito is cold blooded and ruthless, raised even more by the
fact that he was turned down by his eternal beloved, the fatal female,
With nothing more to live for, and with his own life at the line, Haito
decides to take it all out against the Razor Trio, as he deems them unfit
to rule a island gone wild. Domination.
Shodown: Warriors Rage
July 30th, 2013
At first glance,
Haito seems like a sort of trendy, new age samurai. Or you might say he's Yashiro
reincarnated into a samurai... lol. Haito's one-handed, reverse grip katana
fighting style is kinda cool... though slightly gimmicky and under-developed.
Still, he's got some "cool guy" mannerisms and is one of the cooler
characters from Samurai Shodown: Warrior's Rage.
