As the stock market limped to the end of the week, one of the biggest names in the City threw its weight behind shares.
Goldman Sachs, arguably the most influential broker of all, urged clients to back up the truck and buy UK equities via FTSE 100 December futures contracts, financial instruments offering exposure to movement in the prices of the underlying basket of shares.
The 7,100-point target Goldman slapped on the Footsie for the end of this year is a healthy 12 per cent or so higher than here. It would also be a record.
The broker’s suggested stop-loss order — the level at which a bet is closed should it go against you — of a Footsie close below 5,950 points is about 6 per… | <urn:uuid:84e60358-5d13-476f-9566-3b10d88d68a9> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/goldman-sachs-urges-its-clients-to-wave-the-bad-times-goodbye-and-buy-n508mfvxdng | 2017-06-24T08:51:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320243.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624082900-20170624102900-00556.warc.gz | en | 0.94926 | 157 | [

What I Read This Week
Kull #6 -- The Great Serpent has it's eyes on Ka-nu for stealing their gem, but King Kull and Brule the Spear-slayer have other plans in mind. It's a bloody battle to free Ka-nu and show the Serpent Men that Kull will not cower before their sorcerous might! The first Kull mini from Dakr Horse bows in tremendous fashion, putting the cap on what has been a tremendously enjoyable adaption (and expansion) of "The Shadow Kingdom." Very much hoping that DH gets Nelson and Conrad back together for more adventures with Kull.
Flash Rebirth #2 -- Following the death of Savitar, Barry Allen investigates further into what caused the speedster's demise, and reminisces about simpler times. But it seems that the universe is not content on looking backward, but only forward! Johns clearly has a grand story he wants to tell in this series, and I for one am on board. Not sure where the online hate comes from, but that seems to be a recurring theme for me over the last several years. Van Sciver handling the Flash characters is a real treat as well.
Strange Adventures #3 -- Adam Strange continues to try to get the bottom of the mystery of the disappearing stars, while Comet and Eye deal with the now-Weirded Synnar! But if Synnar is in the body of the Weird, what happened to Synnar's body? And what will happen when Bizarro faces off with the mighty monster-battling Megalodon? I know a lot of folks don't care for Starlin's later output, but this stuff if fun in a throwback sort of way: it's enjoyable space opera without having to worry about the ins and outs of whatever is going on in the bigger DCU at the moment, just fun for it's own sake. And really, that's right up my alley.
Warlord #2 -- Apparently shorted at my shop. I will pick it up this week.
Invincible Iron Man #13 -- Marvel is cutting corners on their mail order subscriptions, and it is really getting annoying. Obviously has not shown up yet.
War Of Kings #3 -- The War rages on, as the Kree-allied Guardians Of The Galaxy attempt to rescue Lilandra from Emperor Vulcan's flagship -- only they have to face the might of Gladiator and the Imperial Guard! This series has done a good job of showing the breadth and width of the conflict, while still pesenting a different tone than the two Annihilation events which proceeded it. Very nice.
The Pick of The Pile is Flash: Rebirth, although I really enjoyed all four of the new comics I got this week. Very strong from start to finish.

He confessed that he is single with three kids but will soon invite us for his wedding. He said the lady will be a Made-in-Nigeria woman.
He said “I have always been married to one woman and all my children are from one woman. I have only been married once. Whatever marriage I am going into now will be my second marriage. If you are anxious to know, I will invite you.”
Talking about his wealth “I don’t know about stupendous wealth. I don’t know about being wealthy, but I will say I am a comfortable Nigerian and I have never got any contract from the government contract in my life. I have also never taken any political appointment in my life or a position where I have control over government funds.
He talked about his cars “For a man who buys very expensive cars with his name labelled on the number plate, it is enough to tell you that he is clean. I am a very transparent Nigerian, a very open and honest Nigerian. I have never stolen from government and I can say it without fear. I challenge anyone to prove me otherwise. But at the same time, God is the ultimate giver of legitimate wealth and anyone who really wants to tap into the anointing of getting resources from God should please consult me.
My passion is automobiles and there is no crime in that and I am very proud of it. Once the automobiles are not products of crime and they are not got from any ill-gotten wealth, then a man should be proud about what he is passionate about. I love automobiles and I am waiting for the next collection… Cars cannot underwrite the recession problems of this country. Even if you sell my cars now, it will not make Nigeria to come out of recession.” PLACE YOUR TEXT ADVERT BELOW:>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> How I TOTALLY Got Rid Of my POT BELLY,excess Fat and Overweight In just 2weeks..

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars
“Sex and Violence” was one of those books I wanted to read the second I saw the summary. I’m a sucker for good contemporary YA and the promise of a well-drawn male perspective was too much to pass up. Despite its somewhat melodramatic title, I read “Sex and Violence” in one day. Almost one sitting, too, because I kept being drawn back into the story every time I tried to put it down so I could get my chores done.
Evan is used to being the New Guy–in new towns, new schools, and new houses that never feel like home. To make the constant moving more bearable, he hooks up with a different girl, or girls, in each new place he lives. He’s become accustomed to brief, casual intimacy without any consequences, until he is brutally beaten in the dorm showers at his boarding school for fooling around with the ‘wrong’ person. When his dad moves them to his hometown of Pearl Lake, MN, Evan has a chance to build normal relationships with the locals and maybe put his life back together.
I love a good ‘recovery from trauma’ story as much as the next person, but one of the things I loved about “Sex and Violence” was that it didn’t conform to most of the trauma story conventions. Evan’s life initially centers around what happened to him, but the more comfortable he becomes in Pearl Lake, the more that trauma fades from the forefront of his mind. Instead of constantly pretending to be normal, Evan’s okay a lot of the time. But when he’s too much in his own head or exposed to a situation with unpleasant triggers, all his memories of the assault come rushing back. The trauma impacts Evan’s life but doesn’t halt it, and that felt like one of the most realistic aspects of the story.
The other was Evan’s voice. It sounded so real to me, like if I’d managed to get inside the heads of some of the guys I knew in high school, this was what it might have been like. Equal parts crude and funny, open or withdrawn, no facet of Evan’s personality felt exaggerated or inexplicable. All of the secondary characters were similarly well-sketched, and it’s a testament to Mesrobian that none of them fell victim to cliche or caricature.
My only sort of complaint with the novel is that its pacing tended to drag between the bigger plot points. It never took the easy way out with its many difficult questions, and because of that unflinching realism, I felt that the tension could’ve been higher overall.
Otherwise I’d recommend “Sex and Violence” to just about anyone. A quiet trauma novel compared to many others, but one lending a perspective that desperately needs to be heard. | <urn:uuid:b471fd20-6243-488e-9fbf-97513a9531cb> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://ellenmrozek.wordpress.com/2014/02/08/book-review-28-sex-and-violence/ | 2017-06-25T03:30:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320395.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625032210-20170625052210-00636.warc.gz | en | 0.9805 | 614 | [

finished metroid fusion a week ago. i know these recaps tend to get long, but for once i don’t have too much to say about this one, although once again i disagree with popular opinion. i haven’t played the much-revered super metroid yet so i don’t have any comparisons there, but compared to the original NES game i found this one to be an experience that was designed to be rushed and not savored. the game element that most people seem to complain about is the fact that there’s a computer character who at every point directs you to the next task, although the great metroid prime featured a similar, although slightly more subtle, setup. i wouldn’t have had a problem with that here so much if the areas hadn’t felt so straightforward. the original had a slower and much more atmospheric pace, with a much larger emphasis on exploring, whereas in this game i felt i could sprint through every area. there were some moments near the end where the pace felt slower which were much more enjoyable, and which made the rest of the game pale that much more in comparison. overall a fairly solid game with an interesting story line, but rather too easy and not much opportunity to linger over any of it. i’m definitely interested in where the story goes after this chapter, though, which is more than you can usually say about nintendo franchises.
not a whole lot else to say. if you’re reading this and you haven’t finished the game, be aware that after you get the last powerup you shouldn’t go into a navigation room b/c then all the doors to all the areas become locked, forcing you to finish the game. post-win the doors unlock and you can explore any areas you missed, but it would be much more fun to explore them before you beat the last boss (which incidentally is much harder than the rest of the game).
one other thing that i wish the game had was the ability to see all of the places on the map that have hidden items. i think i got all the open circles on the maps but i was still at only 67% or so completed, so either there are a lot more rooms w/ multiple hidden items (in which case that would also have been nice to know) or not all of them are showing up on the map. since i hate using walkthroughs i’m not really motivated to search through every room to find the rest, but maybe one of these days if i’m really bored and i’ve finished the other games in the series i’ll give it another shot.

How do I get sperglue off the display?
Many moons ago the window on my gameboy fell out so I refitted it using superglue but I must have got some on the actual lcd display itself.
I'm now trying to remove this glue, I have tried IPA, sticky stuff remover and nail polish remover.
Is there any way to remove this glue or do I need to find a new display?
If I need a new display, where can I get one?
Is this a good question? | <urn:uuid:6e47275c-24ff-4c23-8a2d-5a819e1301d3> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/287075/How+do+I+get+sperglue+off+the+display | 2017-06-25T03:58:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320395.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625032210-20170625052210-00636.warc.gz | en | 0.877197 | 112 | [

Auctores generis Venerem Martemque fatemur
Aeneadum matrem Romulidumque patrem.
mitigat armatas victrix clementia vires.
convenit in mores nomen utrumque tuos.
hinc tibi certandi bona parcendique voluptas:
quos timuit superat, quos superavit amat
As begetters of our race we acknowledge Venus and Mars, the mother of the sons of Aeneas and the father of the sons of Romulus. Victorious clemency softens armed strength: both names are appropriate for your character. Hence your noble pleasure in combat and in mercy: it overcomes those it feared, which loves those it overcame.
There are obvious echoes of the hymn to Venus that opens Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura: both of the opening words, and of the famous image of Mars infatuated by Venus. The idea of Rome fighting and sparing in the third couplet alludes to a passage also alluded to in the previous lines, Anchises’ description to Aeneas of the Roman mission in Aeneid 6, parcere subiectis et debellare superbos, “to spare the conquered and war down the proud”. After the introduction of Venus and Mars in the first line of the passage, the following lines blend together the two gods and concepts associated with them, for Venus victorious clemency, sparing, love, for Mars armed strength, combat and overcoming. The arrangement is chiastic, with the Venus concepts at the start in the first couplet and at the end in the last couplet, and mingled with Martial ones in the middle couplet.
In line 71, the word bona stands out. To translate ‘noble pleasure’ smoothes over the banality. Admittedly bonus is not as banal a word as the English good, but it looks like a metrical filler: the question would be whether it was Rutilius’ filler or an editor’s. And a glance at the apparatus criticus took me to the suggestion of Emil Baehrens (1848-88):
hinc tibi certandi par parcendique voluptas.
Hence your equal pleasure in combat and in mercy.
This seems to me so obviously right that I cannot understand why it is not printed by all editors. One reason that this brilliant conjecture may not have got so far was that it was made by Baehrens, who churned out so many frivolous conjectures that all of them tended to be ignored. If the name Housman were attached to it, or that of Baehrens’ old Professor, Lucian Müller, it would have done better. Secondly, there is a manuscript reading which makes sense – if poor sense. But it would be an odd thing if the only corruptions in texts only changed them so that they made no sense. And here it is easy to see how the corruption arose, through the omission of par before parcendi by haplography, and then the conjecture of bona to fill the gap in the metre. It is generally accepted that all our manuscripts of Rutilius derive from a copy made by Giorgio Galbiate in 1493/4from an eighth-century Bobbio manuscript. And while the best ms and the first printed edition, which has the independent value, have many mutual disagreements and corruptions, it is vanishingly rare for these not to scan acceptably – in other words, there is every likelihood that metrical emendation was applied to the text at an early stage of the transmission, probably by Galbiate.
Final thought: it is the aesthetic appeal of this emendation which draws me to it. This seems to me right, proper, and inevitable -- but also something to create unease. Clever is not the same as true: was Baehrens just improving the author? And my aesthetic judgment comes into play again, in favour of Rutilius' talent. | <urn:uuid:190e8f53-f976-48e0-9b1e-ac5b12f522f9> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://ausonius.blogspot.com/2011/03/beautiful-emendation.html | 2017-06-25T22:31:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320593.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625221343-20170626001343-00716.warc.gz | en | 0.939196 | 855 | [

King Triton's trident
Ursula was a sea witch who agreed to turn the mermaid Ariel into a human in exchange for her voice. To remain human, Ariel had to get a true love kiss from Eric in less than three days, but Ursula cheated to ensure that Ariel never got the kiss, so she took her back to the sea and negotiated her freedom with King Triton in exchange for his powerful trident. After getting the power of the trident, Ursula tried to kill Ariel and Eric, which became her undoing as Eric crashed an ancient ship against Ursula, killing her.
- Ursula has a new body piece exclusive to her instead of legs representing her octopus tentacles and adding her some fat. | <urn:uuid:a4a6e11b-656f-4c23-a0c1-143a8a2bb811> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Ursula | 2017-06-26T19:14:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320863.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626184725-20170626204725-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.96911 | 152 | [

Just a quick note to let you know that I'm growing!
I've added a beautiful new Facebook page, that's just a baby, so be nice and add me!
See? I told you - Nothing on it. I'll get there!
ALSOOOO, you'll see I've added a "Shop HJ" button up at the top...I'll be opening a small Etsy shop soon, with some handmade goodies, so stay tuned...the link may be funky, but it's because I linked it, but there's nowhere for it to land as of yet. :)
Finally, did it really take you until JUST now to see that I revamped the page?? Came up with my own, state-of-the-art banner up at the top (I know.), and rearranged a few things to where they fit better. See? Change is good. Don't be scared.

Sceaux out of Tingle Creek but Mullins 'not worried'
Star chaser Un De Sceaux could be poised to make his return at Leopardstown over Christmas after Willie Mullins yesterday ruled him out of Saturday's Tingle Creek Chase.
Last season's brilliant two-mile novice had been odds-on for the Sandown Grade One, but Mullins revealed that he would not be running this weekend as he had not been giving him the right signs at home.
"I just felt he was a bit flat for the past couple of days," the champion trainer said of the relentless front-runner. "I'm not worried - when he is right, he will run."
Asked about a suitable alternative for Un De Sceaux's reappearance, Mullins quipped: "He could run next week if he started to sparkle again, although I don't know if there is a race for him next week - it's hard to look beyond Sunday here!"
When asked if the Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown on December 27 might be the likeliest target for the Champion Chase favourite, Mullins replied: "I'd imagine that might be the case, he is in there."
Soon after Mullins's shock announcement, Nicky Henderson, who had previously scratched the resurgent Sprinter Sacre, confirmed that Simonsig is an intended Tingle Creek starter. The grey is now second favourite at odds of 7/2 behind new 7/4 market leader Vibrato Valtat.
Henry de Bromhead's Special Tiara is as low as 9/2 to record a second Grade One win over course and distance. He will be ridden for a first time by Aidan Coleman, with Nina Carberry another fascinating booking aboard Mick Channon's veteran Somersby.
It will be a rare opportunity for Carberry to ply her trade in an open Grade One. The 11-year-old Somersby was second in the race in 2013 and 2014, and he is now a best-priced 14/1 to provide the peerless amateur rider with a famous victory.
Carberry has recently ridden a winner for Channon and Somersby's owners Tim and Camilla Radford, coaxing Knock House to a neck success in an amateur riders' race at Cheltenham last month.
Meanwhile, The New One's bid for a hat-trick of International Hurdle wins at Cheltenham on Saturday week has been scuppered by a foot problem.
"It is disappointing, but we lost a week," Nigel Twiston-Davies told the Telegraph. "He will go straight to Kempton for the Christmas Hurdle now." | <urn:uuid:0fb17d41-56e2-4776-aed8-106911fa00b3> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.independent.ie/sport/horse-racing/sceaux-out-of-tingle-creek-but-mullins-not-worried-34254840.html | 2017-06-26T19:21:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320863.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626184725-20170626204725-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.963082 | 554 | [

For this week's Good Fences I have "outside the box" fences again. I noticed them while hiking in my favorite state park that is practically at my doorstep.
We have a great network of beautiful trails through the wilderness of the park. These trails are used by hikers, runners, horse riders and mountain bikers. It shouldn't be too difficult to stay on these trails.
At least one would think so.
Unfortunately there are people who feel some kind of weird entitlement that allows them to go in the park wherever they want - actually, it's mostly "bike wherever they want" - and thus creating new trails where they shouldn't be, disrupting the wilderness and disturbing wildlife.
In the following picture you can see one of those illegal trails leading from the center to the right side of the image.
You can see the deep mark it has left in the park. There's a clear sign that you shouldn't use this trail.
But obviously the park is visited by many illiterate people, so the rangers tried a different method - natural "fences".
A huge branch blocks this trail, and from the look of it, it seems to work.
Here's another one - the branch was laid out quite some time ago. You almost can't see the trail anymore, the branch has deteriorated - this has been successful, it seems.
Here mountain bikers have taken a questionable short cut beside the trail, probably because it's less rocky. By the way the branches and big rocks are laid across the trail I got the impression that the rangers were pretty mad when they blocked this part. I honestly cannot blame them.
I've been here so often, but only recently did I notice this rock wall. I have no idea what the purpose of it is except that it's probably home to a few rattlesnakes.
This is such a beautiful place, and it truly makes me mad that some people don't respect the wilderness and create new trails. I don't understand why they aren't able to stay on the trails that are already there.
I'm linking up to Theresa's Good Fences. | <urn:uuid:62ef5c3c-540a-4c18-989b-fca0c139e0c0> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://carolabartz.blogspot.com/2015/09/protecting-wilderness.html | 2017-06-27T13:52:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321426.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627134151-20170627154151-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.978769 | 442 | [

Halloween FHE Craft
For Family Home Evening last night we did a fun craft for Halloween. I got the idea from one of my favorite blogs Make It and Love It. She got the idea from Martha Stewart. We both put our own twists on the project.
Just put a baby food jar, some watered down craft paint, and some black electrical tape together and you get these really cute mini jack-o-lantern jars. I think they'd be cute with some little candles inside. But for now, we are using ours to bribe the kids to do their chores. We told them if they finish their chores on time they would get a piece of candy in their jar that day and they could eat it "whenever they wanted!" Seems to be working really well too because today both kids rooms were spotless and I even got help folding the laundry! Can't beat that. | <urn:uuid:40e63443-78ef-4696-abbd-6e013140158a> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://glennfamily3.blogspot.com/2011/10/halloween-fhe-craft.html | 2017-06-27T14:00:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321426.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627134151-20170627154151-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.973705 | 191 | [

The other morning while lounging in bed, listening to KPBS and catching up on the news and dreaming and floating between that space that is awake and asleep, I heard something about an attorney named Amy Lepine running against Mike Aguirre for San Diego city attorney….
I am not technically in the city of San Diego anymore (just a mile north of the line) and I can’t vote in the city anymore so I only half pay attention to what’s going on “down there.” When I heard this announcement, in that floating space, I thought to myself, “hmmm. I used to know an Amy Lepine…..” and my mind began to wander way back. To college, the first time around. Mira Costa College to be specific.
I thought about my friend Karin Zirk, who is still one of my dearest and bestest friends and how I tutored her in Spanish. I remembered Gloria Floren’s “world” literature class, which should have been titled women’s literature (not that there’s anything wrong with that) because every book we read was written by a woman. I think it was Ms. Floren’s way of balancing the literary scales…. Anyway, Amy Lepine was in that class with me and Karin was in the class too. It may have been where I met Amy, I don’t know. It was a long time ago. It was a required English credit and I think I skated by with a C.
Several days passed before I thought of Amy Lepine again, or read something in the paper and google girl that I am, set about to figure out if this was indeed the same Amy I knew. And it was. It is. Amy Lepine, Attorney At Law.
There’s a few things about Amy I remember, most revolve around having fun as college students are apt to do. I am not sure why we lost touch. Maybe we were just friends of convenience, of a time and a place. We both went to San Diego State University, but took different paths from there.
Gloria Floren is still at Mira Costa College… and while she may be suprised at where we are now, me going off to get an MFA in creative writing, Karin a talented writer and an environmental activist and Amy preparing to go up against Aguirre, I think she might be proud of all of us. | <urn:uuid:35a810ae-c6a7-4bfe-b75a-10cf45937d15> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://akajesais.com/category/mike-aguirre/ | 2017-06-27T13:52:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321426.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627134151-20170627154151-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.978217 | 514 | [

With the unlimited ways for news to zip through space and cyberspace these days — ESPN, the Internet, Twitter or telegraph — it would seem impossible for one to dodge information even if one tried.
And yet, inexplicably — almost impossibly — Tim Duncan didn’t get word of Tony Parker’s new contract extension until he walked into the AT&T Center on Saturday night.
“He wouldn’t privy me with that knowledge,” Duncan said before the Spurs’ 99-90 loss to New Orleans.
Eight hours earlier, Parker — the second-longest tenured Spur outside of Duncan — delivered the news to the rest of the universe: He isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
In agreeing to a four-year extension worth nearly $50 million, the 28-year-old point guard simultaneously erased the Spurs’ most pressing personnel question and ensured the team’s long-running trio of Duncan, Parker and Manu Ginobili will remain intact for the immediate future.
In doing so, Parker — a three-time All-Star and 2007 NBA Finals MVP — took himself off next summer’s free-agent market before Halloween.
“I’m very happy to be a Spur,” said Parker, whose deal was set to expire at the end of this, his 10th season with the team. “I always said I wanted to stay in San Antonio. It’s my home.”
In that, Parker only reiterated what he’s been saying all along, even in the face of what seemed to be a daily blitz from the New York tabloid media determined to have him fitted for a Knicks uniform.
Proof of his desire to remain in South Texas? His new deal averages about $12.5 million a season, a pay cut from the $13.5 million Parker will earn this season.
Saturday’s news likely ensures a player who joined the Spurs as a 19-year-old rookie in 2001 will remain with the team into his 30s.
The only person disappointed with Parker’s extension, once he finally heard about it, was Duncan. He joked he’d rather Parker twist in the wind a while.
“That way I could mess with him,” Duncan said. “Now, I can’t do that.”
But seriously, folks.
“I know it’s been weighing on his shoulders with all the rumors here and there,” said Duncan, who won three of his four NBA titles with Parker as his point guard. “He deserves to be here. He’s been part of our winning ways for a long time.”
The extension allows Parker to avoid becoming a free agent during an uncertain summer of 2011, when the NBA’s current collective bargaining agreement is set to expire.
The quick resolution to Parker’s contract situation was in stark contrast to last season’s negotiations with Ginobili, who bartered for his extension into April.
“It’s great to have security,” said Parker, who had 13 points and four assists against the Hornets, but did not play in the fourth, “and not go through a whole season worried if I get hurt or if I play bad.”
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he was happy to have one potential distraction off the table.
“To have him in the fold and be a Spur for this long is fantastic for us, and hopefully for him, too,” Popovich said.
One of the NBA’s most feared penetrators, Parker has averaged 16.6 points and 5.7 assists over his nine seasons. His best season came in 2008-09, when he averaged 22 points and 6.9 assists to earn third-team All-NBA honors.
For a while, it looked like the biggest threat to the Spurs’ “Big Three” would not be Duncan’s 34-year-old knees, but Parker’s uncertain future.
Now that Parker is off the trade-rumor Tilt-A-Whirl and has eschewed free agency, he is poised to remain right where he wanted to be all along.
“It’s home here,” Parker said. “I love being with Pop and Timmy and Manu. I’m happy I can keep the adventure going with them.” | <urn:uuid:23ac09bb-f9c2-42bd-a6c6-e70c96149768> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2010/10/30/with-extension-spurs-keep-parker-away-from-free-agency-2/?gta=commentlistpos | 2017-06-29T04:02:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323864.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629033356-20170629053356-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.967182 | 942 | [

After a trial plaintiff was granted a rescission of his purchase of a 1978 Mercury Marquis Brougham manufactured by defendant Ford Motor Corporation and sold by defendant Marino Auto Sales, Inc., a Ford dealer. The right of plaintiff's attorney to an attorney's fee against Ford under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C.A. § 2301 et seq. , remains at issue.
This Court concluded in an oral opinion based upon the proofs at trial that under its express warranty to plaintiff Ford had authorized its dealer Marino to perform repairs; that plaintiff provided Marino with a reasonable opportunity to cure his 1978 Mercury's defects by bringing it in for repairs five or more times with complaints of stalling and hesitation; that despite Marino's attempts to effect repairs the stalling and hesitation continued; that plaintiff's car was substantially impaired in value because of manufacturing defects in workmanship or materials or both; that Ford had breached its express warranty to plaintiff; that no money damages were proven, and that the remedy available to plaintiff was rescission against Marino, from whom he had purchased the car, with a credit for mileage driven.
R. 4:42-9(a)(8) authorizes an award of an attorney's fee in accordance with statute. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, establishing a civil action cognizable in federal or state courts, provides that an attorney's fee may be awarded to a prevailing party "based on actual time expended." A legislative intent is to encourage consumer actions for breach of warranty of products by adequate attorney's fee awards to prevailing parties. The remedies available under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act are damages, which may be minimal, and "other legal and equitable relief."
In this action plaintiff maintained a count for violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act against Ford only, because the express warranty of his car was from Ford and not from the selling dealer. That count was determined in plaintiff's favor. But the remedy granted was rescission against the selling dealer Marino in the absence of privity of contract in the sale of the car between plaintiff and Ford.
Ford objects to any award of an attorney's fee against it because the judgment of rescission is against Marino only. The issue is whether Ford's system of doing business through authorized but independent dealers such as Marino exempts it from liability for an attorney's fee under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act upon rescission against Marino for breach of its express warranty as manufacturer, which is undoubtedly an inducement for the purchase of its cars. This court holds to the contrary.
Under the facts an alternative holding might have been reached that the sale from Marino to plaintiff was subject to rescission under the Uniform Commercial Code, N.J.S.A. 12A:2-711. But in the court's oral opinion the basis for rescission was stated as the breach of Ford's express warranty as manufacturer. Specifically the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C.A. § 2304(a)(4) is controlling.
[I]f the product . . . contains a defect or malfunction after a reasonable number of attempts by the warrantor to remedy defects or malfunctions in such

Introduction from Regional Development Officer
My name is Linda Fletcher and I have started a ten month contract with IPSEA as the Regional Development Officer for the North East. I am not able to give any advice or support. If you need advice about getting the right education for a child/young person with special educational needs and/or disabilities, please use one of IPSEA's services.
My professional background is in nursing and midwifery, but I left the profession in 2004 to care for my son who has special educational needs and physical disabilities (SEND). My own personal experiences as a parent, and those of friends who also have children with SEND, have given me a passion for giving a voice to parent carers. I have been a school governor for 9 years, and a parent representative on various multi-disciplinary committees in the SEND field. I have also been a volunteer on IPSEA's Advice Line for the last two years. My role is to get to know local parent and carer groups in the North East, and also to recruit and support new volunteers. IPSEA have gained the funding for me to do this until 31st March 2016.
We want to make sure that parents and carers know how to get information, advice and support so that they can achieve better outcomes for their children. I can offer an introductory session for local parent/carer groups to explain who I am how I might be able to support your group.
I can also send regular and up-to-date information about what's happening for children, young people and their families in the world of special educational needs and disability.
If you would like to speak to me further please contact me via [email protected]
Best Wishes, Linda

Reaching that total on Friday easily put Nicola Thorp’s petition over the 100,000-signature threshold needed to have Britain’s parliament consider holding a debate on an issue.
Thorp made headlines this week when she launched her campaign describing how she had arrived in flat shoes for her first day to work as a receptionist for accounting company PwC last December to be told she had to wear heels.
She told British media she refused an offer to go buy a pair of heels and was sent home without pay.
Portico, the agency through which Thorp got the job, had set the uniform guidelines and has since reviewed and revised its policy upon PwC’s request. It now says “all our female colleagues can wear plain flat shoes or plain court shoes as they prefer”.
Thorp started the government petition this week, saying “current formal work dress codes are out-dated and sexist”.
“Employers are allowed to impose different dress codes for men and women, which is fair enough as long as that dress code doesn’t favour one of the sexes,” Thorp told Britain’s ITN television.
“By making women wear high heels you are acting favourably towards men because their footwear doesn’t affect their posture, their ability to move. It doesn’t create long term health problems.” | <urn:uuid:9a97cef6-51f2-4c5c-b95d-90f9f25583c9> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://arynews.tv/en/uk-receptionist-petition-on-high-heels-at-work-gets-120000-signatures/ | 2017-06-23T17:40:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320077.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623170148-20170623190148-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.981378 | 292 | [

Criticism has been called “the kiss of death” in relationships. While there are a lot of things that can put your romance on the rocks, like defensiveness or over-the-top family drama, experts agree that super judgmental — or just plain mean — comments are definitely one of the worst offenses. Why? The short answer is simple: Criticism makes people feel bad. Any time you’re making your partner upset or they’re doing the reverse to you, it’s definitely not a good thing. We chatted with three relationship experts to find out how to deal with criticism — whether you’re on the giving or receiving end.
Why Criticism Is So Bad FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
Criticism is so damaging to relationships because “it’s hard to maintain positive, loving feelings if you feel like you’re constantly under attack by your partner,” says Anita Chlipala, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of First Comes Us: The Busy Couple’s Guide to Lasting Love ($18). “You may feel like you can’t do anything right or that you can’t ever please your S.O.,” she explains. Some people may start to wonder if their partner even likes them anymore if they’re getting criticized all the time, which is definitely NOT ideal for your individual self-worth or your love life. Chlipala also points out that it’s really difficult to be vulnerable and share your feelings with someone — a must in any communicative relationship — if you’re worried about being criticized or devalued.
Of course, it’s not expected that you think everything your S.O. does is perfect! Lindsay O’Shea, a relationship therapist, notes, “There will always be things about your partner that you’re not the biggest fan of, but when it becomes an attack on their character, it can signify a deeper issue in the relationship.” If the things that are being criticized are specific actions, that’s more of a complaint, but if character traits are being discussed, that’s full-on criticism and a warning sign that there may be other things wrong in the relationship. “Starting a statement with ‘you always’ or ‘you never’ is a sure sign of criticism in relationships,” explains O’Shea. “Harsh communication styles may be correlated with stored-up grievances and attempts to suppress negative emotions,” she notes. These negative emotions can build up over time and cause larger problems down the road.
How to Bring It Up If You’re Being Criticized
It’s not always easy to bring up the fact that you’re not okay with being criticized on the reg, but it’s absolutely necessary, says Erika Boissiere, licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of The Relationship Institute of San Francisco. She suggests that if you’re on the receiving end of harsh remarks or receive a direct complaint from your partner with no request (AKA solution) attached to it, you can have a productive convo with your S.O. by doing these five things.
1. Listen and ask more questions. Usually, critical comments from a partner are bottled-up resentments. As tough as it may be, you should at least try to learn more about what they said, and try to understand if there’s anything deeper driving their not-so-positive remarks.
2. Understand their reasoning. Then, say to them, “This sounds important to you. Can you tell me why? I want to better understand.” By digging into the reasoning behind their criticism or complaint, you may gain more motivation to change the behavior or at least understand where they’re coming from.
3. Don’t get defensive. Once the criticizer (ahem, your S.O.) begins to explain their side of things, try your absolute hardest to not get defensive, says Boissiere. If you do, it could lead to a fight or, even worse, shut the convo down and potentially cause more resentment.
4. Problem solve. Do your best to help your partner turn their criticism into a request. For example, discuss switching things up from, “You’re so lazy sometimes!” to “Next time I’m doing the dishes, could you help me out please?” to help them turn critiques on your character into a path toward a stronger relationship.
5. Be accountable. Make sure you can be accountable for anything you agree to do. Don’t make a promise about what you’ll do to fix the behavior that’s bothering them if it’s something you can’t do, don’t want to do or believe you shouldn’t have to do.
If a hurtful remark is more of a one-off situation, O’Shea recommends using your discretion about whether to bring it up. “It’s important to practice emotional intelligence rather than react to every miscommunication in a relationship,” she explains. Instead of reacting the first time your partner says something critical, “Pay attention to patterns of communication and disconnection in your relationship.” It may not be a problem, or issues may run deeper than those negative asides from your partner.
Ways to Check Yourself IF YOU’RE DOING THE CRITICIZING
If you think you might be criticizing your S.O. or they’ve told you that you are, you can totally turn things around. “One way is to check your ‘shoulds,'” says Chlipala. “Whenever you think, ‘they should’ve done…’ it’s an opportunity to learn more about your partner.” The bottom line is, no person, no matter how amazing they are, is going to do things the exact same way you would or exactly as you’d want them to all of the time. “A ‘should’ statement conveys that your S.O. is doing things the wrong way when really it’s just a different way,” she adds. Though it might take practice to notice your thought process and to challenge it, it’s totally worth it.
Chlipala also says that if you find yourself saying negative things to your boo, “practice focusing on your partner’s behavior instead of their personality.” You can also practice rephrasing complaints you have into requests, so that they’re actionable, rather than just observations about what they’re doing wrong.
When to Give Up
Sometimes, so much resentment and negative feelings build up that it seems like the only way to stop the cycle is to end the relationship. “Only you know if your relationship is worth giving up or salvaging,” says Boissiere. But if you’re feeling miserable all the time, that’s a pretty good sign that it may be time to end it. She notes that couples who decide to call it quits after dealing with criticism issues usually have a myriad of problems going on, but that criticism is almost always the main culprit. “After all, no one likes to feel attacked, like they’re never enough or that their partner is unhappy with them,” she says.

Michal S. Gal, Regulation by Declaration: A Novel Regulatory Mechanism to Limit Abuse of Monopoly Power, 2 N.Y.U. J. L. & Bus. 404 (2006).
In most jurisdictions the legal inquiry into whether a firm enjoys a monopoly position is an integral part of an inquiry into whether a firm has abused its market power, and a positive answer to the first is a precondition for conducting the second. This combination creates some inefficiencies. Most notably, market participants, including the would-be monopolist, are uncertain of the monopolist's market position until its conduct is challenged before the courts. This paper explores a novel regulatory mechanism which seeks to separate the two stages of inquiry and to empower the antitrust authorities to declare a firm a monopoly even when it is not part of an inquiry into possible abusive conduct. As this article shows, the "regulation by declaration" mechanism has substantial benefits when applied to some categories of cases. It creates a "red flag" effect for the monopolist, which notifies it, in advance, of its legal position. It also creates a "green flag" effect that increases the incentives of market participants to monitor the conduct of the declared monopolist. As a result, the incentives of the declared monopolist to engage in anti-competitive conduct in the first place, are reduced. The declaratory mechanism also increases the level of coherency of law enforcement. At the same time, the declaratory mechanism comes with a significant price tag. Primarily, it requires the authority to spend significant resources on inquiring whether a firm holds a monopolistic position, despite the fact that it might never abuse its market power. Yet, as this article shows, in some categories of cases the benefits of the declaratory mechanism outweigh its costs. In such cases, the symbiosis that the proposed mechanism creates between government regulation and private orderings can increase the efficiency of regulatory tools designed to limit abusive conduct. The article, thus, further expands the literature on the restructuring of state regulation by mechanisms of self-control that operate in the shadow of the state.

Salida, Colorado-An exhibit of nature and landscape photographs by Monte Trumbull of Buena
Vista is on display at Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center through
"There is nothing like watching the sun rise or set on the most beautiful
places Mother Nature has to offer," Trumbull said. He strives to
create images that allow the viewer to feel as if they were there to share
the moment with him.
Trumbull's career in photography began in 2006 when he and his wife,
Tammy, relocated to Colorado from Iowa. He had worked in the technology
field for 28 years, and they decided to make the move so that he could
pursue his love of nature and photography.
Growing up, Trumbull spent most of his time outside, rarely without a fly
rod in hand. He realized that his love for fishing was more about the
connection with nature and started to carry his camera so that he could
capture and share the beauty surrounding him.
Trumbull is a self-proclaimed perfectionist who prefers to have complete
control from the moment the shutter is pressed to the final printed image.
He spends hours deciding where to shoot and finding the best angle, then
processes the files on his computer to "convey the true feeling and
atmosphere of the moment of capture." Trumbull also prints his own
images, cuts his mattes and even builds his frames.
All works in the hospital exhibit are for sale, and 25 percent of the proceeds
are donated to the HRRMC Foundation.
HRRMC is hosting four art exhibits this year, as part of its mission to
create a healing environment. The hospital displays the work of regional
artists, with an emphasis on the Arkansas Valley. For more information

There’s no putting this gently, pests are a nuisance to our existence. They wreck our properties, inflict havoc to our house, spoil our foods, and even ruin our health. Try as we might, we simply can’t disregard them. Although they take cover in corners and walk on the sides, we are very much aware of their presence. If you have pests in your home, you can either try to get rid of them yourself or employ professional exterminators to do the job for you. The better option between the two depends upon conditions, like what kind of pests do you have and how bad the contagion is.
Getting rid of pests isn’t easy but it has to be done. You can use commercial pest control products to eradicate the population of rats, mosquitoes, fleas, cockroaches, bed bugs, and ants in your house. Chemical products available in markets are uncomplicated to use and even generally effective, but they are also dangerous to human beings and pets. You would have to follow their instructions strictly and be cautious in using them. You can also use organic do-it-yourself products that are relatively harmless to use. Nevertheless, they are also debatably less effective than stronger pest products.
On the other hand, these products work best only if your house has low to average pest contamination. You would need to call in the experts if your residence is badly infected or if it has pests that are difficult to get rid of using ordinary pest products, like bees, birds, snakes, and termites. Licensed exterminators can eradicate these annoying creatures because they have the expertise and knowledge and the appropriate equipment. They can wipe out the population of these pests successfully by applying the right methods and using non-commercially available products.
Expert exterminators can do much more than exterminate pests. They also ensure that the pests won’t have a chance to multiply by seeking out their breeding ground. If you don’t have the instruments and the know-how to do so, it’s hard to locate the source of pests on your own. It is best to leave this task to the experts since they have the tools to detect the whereabouts of the pests. And to make sure that homes remain pest-free, they also provide information to homeowners on how to stop the pests from coming back.
Pests are not just infuriating, but they are also bearers of diseases. They pose a serious risk to our properties and health. Sometimes, no matter how much you try to stop them from showing, they can still sneak in and take residence in your house. If you need pest control in Singapore, call accredited pest management specialists for total eradication of pests. They have efficient bed bugs solution, rodents control, mosquito fumigation service, and total termite management among other services.
More Important Facts
- You should also be aware that bed bug bites normally take three days to a week to appear after you have been bitten.
- These stations included a control, live adult bed bugs, viable bed bug eggs, shed casings, fecal material, and dead bed bugs.
- While bed bug bites themselves aren’t a health hazard, they can cause serious irritation and rashes.
- These opportunistic parasites begin life as tiny white eggs before undergoing five stages of development to reach adulthood.
- Once a bed bug infestation is confirmed, it can be controlled by following an “integrated pest management” approach that uses multiple methods at the same time.
- Bed bug bites in enough numbers can lead to anemia, mental health concerns, anxiety, insomnia, and depression.
- The following should be documented as part of the bed bug mitigation processes: • Records of staff, agency and tenant training/educational programs, • Routine bed inspections for bed bugs, • If outside agencies had to enter an infested room and if they have gone through induction training, • Vacuuming regimen: vacuum bag changes, treatment and disposal, • Vacant room inspections, • Full details of any bed bug infestation as described in the proposed database below, • The bed bug Management Plan as provided by the Pest Manager (Section 6.5), • The Pest Manager treatment report.
- For most people the only real danger of bed bug bites arises when you start itching them.
- It is important to learn and know about the various bed bug symptoms as much as you can so that you can avoid the infestation in case they attack your home.
- In order for a bed bug infestation to begin they must be introduced by bringing bugs from an infested environment and introducing them to a previously un-infested one.
- If you have been the victim of a bed bug infestation in a hotel, office building, condominium or apartment, you may have valuable legal rights.
- There are creams designed to treat common bed bug bites that you can find in health stores near you and having one ready at home would be wise. | <urn:uuid:6fcd1fc1-c7d7-4ca4-83e4-4ead97289265> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://deadbedbugs.com/blog/pest-control-2/getting-rid-of-pests-using-diy-solutions-and-professional-pest-control/ | 2017-06-24T12:22:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320261.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624115542-20170624135542-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.94851 | 1,028 | [

A Prelude To A Million Dreams
My creative muse prompts me to begin writing on a fresh page as I start a new process of knowing. This is the time of my life when I do things because I feel like doing them. Like, I write because I would like to read my thoughts tangible in words taking form written on pages, so I would get a better grasp of them.
Like the damselflies of my childhood, I don’t chase my thoughts anymore now that I’m grown up. My mind, like my palms to the damdelflies, I will open so dreams and thoughts could freely alight to show me their beauty. I will befriend this elusive guests instead of running after them like I did during my reckless youth. Perhaps this way, I could encourage their frequent visits.
To The Deeps
When half the world is asleep,
The prying eyes of the nocturnal owl
Stay alert for mice dozing undergrownds.
A turtle slowly prowls in a swamp
Disturbing the resting fishes
On the shallow waters.
Somewhere, you are confined
Asleep in your room dreaming.
While I stay awake questioning.
Am I part of your dreams tonight?
Would I take part in your life
When you awake in the morning?
The night ends
With the owl catching no mice.
The fishes has gone to The deeps,
But the turtle hasn’t reach where ’tis going.
Just like me with my doubts never fading.
But nevertheless always wishing
That one day I’d stop questioning
And to The deeps I’d just let the fishes
Unhurried thoughts and dreams come pellucid like the reflection of the summer skies on a placid river. I aim to write my thoughts that way: to achieve such clarity. These thoughts, my dreams reflected on pages as I allow the readers to grasp them like viewing the river and the skies on a clear summer day.
But sometimes, words are just ain’t enough. There are thoughts and dreams conceived that come in defined shapes, definite forms and rich colors. So I capture them in sketches. Such thoughts and dreams come alive on pads as my pen and pencil give them skin and the ink give them blood and the images from my mind come throbbing alive in sketches.
But then again, oftentimes, I am haunted by vivid dreams and thoughts that not my pen and the pencil nor the ink are enough to breath them life, to bring them the colors like the coquettish fishes flirting my mind with their exotic dance moves in the river where my mind often hovers. They demand to be born and inhabit the canvas, and only my brush strokes could give them soul, only the pallette could bring to life their hued reflections flickering in my imagination ~
Conspicuous in light and shadows.
This is the time of my life when I am fully in touched with my creative muse and the river of my mind is on its calmest state, where any minute movements are reflected that could stir ripples of dreams, and rapture of colors like the blossoms in springtime. The pages and the pads and the canvas are like the verdant fields where my dreams bloom. They are like the river in my mind where the fishes swim to the deeps in their coquettish dance moves that preludes to a million dreams.
The damselfly is within reach – I am taking time to appreciate his beauty as he hovers and I, motionless wishing the damselfly would soon alight in my palms.

Back in January, he also reviewed Sarah Palin’s book on American Exceptionalism in an admiring fashion, which is certainly his prerogative. Ms. Palin, who has not yet announced her candidacy for president for 2012, is the pretty face of the Tea Party and its heavy hitting fundraiser. His admiration for her book (which I presume is not ghostwritten, which would of course make the book's words not her words—Mr. Fish knows the difference when he marks tests) compares her philosophy to that of Frank Capra movies. Here he analyzes Mr. Smith Goes to Washington:
The book opens with a celebration of Frank Capra’s Jefferson Smith, the hero of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” (1939). Smith (played by Jimmy Stewart) is an accidental senator who finds his idealism mocked and blocked by corrupt politicians, greedy industrialists and propagandistic newspapers. The climax of the movie is Smith’s filibuster, in the course of which he cites the Declaration of Independence, written by his namesake, Thomas Jefferson. At this moment Smith embodies Capra’s typical hero — a man who draws his strength from an internal reservoir of virtue, a man who refuses to deed his integrity to some impersonal structure of government or business, a man who is, above all, free.
But what if, for the sake of argument, she isn’t exactly who her media image presents her to be? What if she is actually functioning on behalf of an impersonal corporate structure or an invisible PAC? Is it possible that Mr. Fish could be misled?
It is such men who in Capra’s films at once represent and inspire grass-roots movements in which decent, average people come together not at the behest of a charismatic leader or a corporation, but at the behest of an idea. For Smith that idea is to love thy neighbor…
He is presenting the Tea Party movement as a grass roots, spontaneous coming-together of like-minded people who abhor the encroachment of government upon their liberties. I didn’t see any of these people around when W et al were crafting the Patriot Act, an act which enabled almost any "security" agency to surveill any citizen on any pretext without judicial consent.
In each of these films the forces of statism, corporatism and mercantilism are routed by the spontaneous uprising of ordinary men who defeat the sophisticated machinations of their opponents by declaring, living and fighting for a simple basic creed of individualism, self-help, independence and freedom.
Begging your pardon, Mr. Fish, but Capra’s films are a favorite of mine. Not because they present liberty over the fascist state, but because they show how corporate authoritarianism creates and uses mass movements (Meet John Doe) to control and crush the people.
Whom does she quote in her book, and whom does she remind him of:
· Martin Luther King
· De Touqueville
· John Winthrop
· Frederick Jackson Turner
[And] she might also have cited Emerson, Woodrow Wilson and the many Puritans who proclaimed that they were building a “New Jerusalem” on the American shores.
I am a person of faith, the Jewish faith, who was filled with the spirit when I found out I was diagnosed with possibly cancerous ovarian masses back in California in September 2010. I am a patriot also, concerned with the vox populi, the hoi polloi, or whichever Latin or Greek phrase you wish to use.
Not only have I worked for wages, I have also worked as a volunteer many, many times in my life for the vulnerable: teaching the illiterate and/or non-English speaking person to read, write and converse; teaching computer skills to people who had no other place to go, working not for money but for the sole purpose of helping people in need. And that was before I was struck down.
I don’t look for fame or fortune (and it hasn’t found me).
But when I went to a temple last Saturday, I was almost turned away at the door.
He goes on to praise Ms. Palin’s vision further:
In her view, we are free and equal because as children of God we have an inherent dignity that is inviolate: “We are free as a consequence of being made in the image of God.”
I wish I could take as much comfort in his vision, but that has not been my experience these last 4 months. Last Friday I found out I was precancerous. Everyone means well, saying such things as, "Oh, that's no big deal. Quit yer bitchin'!"
He strikes a different tone in his discussion of the recent Supreme Court decision Snyder v. Phelps, in which the Roberts Court found that scurrilous, hateful speech was protected by the First amendment. He asks a very good question for a non-lawyer:
Was the pain caused incidental to the production of speech — was the primary purpose to communicate an idea that just happened to be hurtful to some potential hearers — or was it the very point of the speech to bring the pain about?
The singling out of expression as a category worthy of special — even categorical — protection makes sense only if the work speech does is different from the work done by physical acts, if for example the effects of speech are limited to changing minds or increasing the store of information or enlarging the number of viewpoints in the marketplace of ideas, and do not include bodily harms.
I have been a New Yorker my entire life, and I’ve never experienced such active hostility (words spoken by strangers and familiars to my face) and great fear before. There were unfortunate rumors and pictures circulated about me and it has caused me bodily harm:
I have been locked up against my will, deterred from pursuing medical treatment, followed and badgered, forced to flee from my home because my computer was hacked with fake emails that caused me to blurt out knowledge that I never would have done in a million years if I weren’t under continuous harassment, and many other insults, most of which have nothing to do with free speech but may well extend from those “protections”. People who were to care for me were told false information and understandably acted on that knowledge.
My experience of the last four months has not shaken my faith entirely. I am not a political fundraiser or someone with any supporters, but I try to keep my head down and not despair.
These may be bright times for the New Jerusalem, but they are dark times indeed for me. | <urn:uuid:9ad2b9fb-8f17-4f10-a5b8-8c4a1cec3788> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://whereiscassandra.blogspot.com/2011/03/stanley-fish-on-american-exceptionalism.html | 2017-06-25T07:06:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320443.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625064745-20170625084745-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.970235 | 1,377 | [

In Youth Football, there is “an absence of catastrophic head and neck injuries and disruptive joint injuries found at higher levels.” The injury rate in Youth Football is:
· less than one-third the injury rate in high school football
· less than one-fifth the injury rate in college football
· less than one-ninth the injury rate in professional football
· RYA's age-weight schematic protects younger, lighter players, who do not have higher injury rates.
· Organized football among 5 – 15 year-olds has 12 percent fewer injuries per capita than organized soccer in the same age range.
· Organized football among 5 – 15 year-olds has 50 percent fewer injuries per capita than bicycle riding in the same age range.
· Organized football among 5 – 15 year-olds has 74 percent fewer injuries per capita than skateboarding in the same age group.
· Injuries in youth football are normally mild, and older players have a higher injury rate than younger players.
· The Institute of Sports Medicine and Athletic Trauma in New York completed a Pop Warner injury survey in 71 towns covering over 5,000 players in 1998. The injury experience of 5,128 boys (8 to 15 years of age, weight 22.5 to 67.5 kg [50 to 150 lbs.]) participating in youth football revealed an overall rate of significant injury of 5%, with 61% classified as moderate and 38.9% as major injuries. That's about 1.33 per team per year. No catastrophic injuries occurred, and it was rare for a permanent disability to result from an injury. | <urn:uuid:f69fc4d8-d619-4f7f-8646-f90cd79fda37> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://restonseahawks.org/Page.asp?n=7189&org=M.RESTONSEAHAWKS.ORG | 2017-06-26T02:08:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320666.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626013946-20170626033946-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.959085 | 329 | [

COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M’s most interesting season in memory just received an added twist. Louisiana Tech officials, in citing the safety of fans and student-athletes, have postponed the Bulldogs’ scheduled Thursday night game with the Aggies until Oct. 13.
Both programs had that Saturday off. The Aggies and Bulldogs were slated to kickoff 6:30 p.m. Thursday night in Shreveport’s Independence Stadium. The postponement is because of Hurricane Isaac, currently moving on to the Louisiana coast.
“Our primary concern was for the health and safety of the general public, students and fans of both institutions,” Bulldogs athletic director Bruce Van De Velde said. “It’s impossible to predict exactly what is going to happen throughout the state so we also wanted to be conscientious of the possible effects of this storm on residents throughout Louisiana.
“As much as both teams wanted to play, the safety of everyone took precedent over a football game, even one of this magnitude. We simply couldn’t move forward with Thursday’s kickoff in good conscience knowing what this storm may do.”
A&M will now play 12 consecutive games in its first season in the Southeastern Conference. With the change the Aggies’ opener with a new coaching staff and a new quarterback is suddenly a whopper: On Sept. 8 against Florida in Kyle Field, a 2:30 p.m. kickoff.
Kevin Sumlin is in his first year of coaching A&M, and he recently named freshman Johnny Manziel his starting quarterback. The Aggies will now play five of six games on the road in one stretch later in the season with the schedule switch.
A&M starts that run on Oct. 6 at Ole Miss, follows with the Louisiana Tech game, returns to Kyle Field for LSU and then hits the road for Auburn, Mississippi State and Alabama. Louisiana Tech will now open its season at Houston on Sept. 8. | <urn:uuid:38d9ffb1-7df1-4f69-a0e4-0feb8721c8d5> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://blog.mysanantonio.com/aggies/2012/08/aggies-opener-postponed-until-oct-13-because-of-isaac/?gta=commentlistpos | 2017-06-26T20:43:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320865.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626203042-20170626223042-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.968029 | 410 | [

And if I'm not already a bit tough on myself, my accuser comes along with one of his "cocktails". You know the pretty glass of lies that he whispers in our ears, whose false accusations burn your throat then work their way down to the pit of your stomach and make you want to throw it all up. He delivers it shaken, not stirred, with an olive topping it off..."What a screw up you are", "can't you get anything right?", "you oughta quit now before they realize how stupid you really are"... They are lies--all lies!
Yep, I messed up. But I 'fessed up and will move on because the Lover of my soul says, You are not perfect but you are Mine and My grace is sufficient for you.

DAY ONE The official 29th season of the Vancouver Fashion Week began at 5pm on the 21st March. The runaway this year was alive with ready-to-wear collections from designers all over the world- Ireland, China, South Korea, Japan, to just name a few. IRELAND KEEM processes an unique way of approaching the fashion industry by designing a collection that is both environmentally sustainable and has an element of luxury too. Inspired by the seascapes of Keem Bay itself, this new Irish brand brings a selection of garments that can be worn no matter the season, outerwear or casual. Their approach is to combine a variety of looks and it is through the juxtaposition of the soft and bold hues, shapes, use of singular prints snd the use of natural fibres that makes this collection a must have. CHINA Kisman, the designer brand from China, defines their collection as a metaphor for a ‘digital’ woman. This is displayed on the runway by placing a phone in each of the models’ hands. On the back of each phone there is an embellishment of pearls, gems and silver emblems. The designer pairs these statement accessories with street inspired clothing. The use of ribbons, cut-outs, chiffon layers, chokers and zips meshes well with the denim jackets and tailored leather garments. SOUTH KOREA Alogon brings a unique collection inspired by silhouettes. This South Korean brand explores and discovers new combinations of materials but still successfully manages to retain an element of sophistication. There is a powerful clash of hues, where the softer tones are lifted with tartans acting as the designers statement about femininity. The show-stopping moment during the Vancouver Fashion Week was the unique embroidered cat on the rollneck jumpers. JAPAN WESSO VEGE’s collection at the Vancouver Fashion Week was entitled ‘Lips on a Spiral.’ It is a beautiful combination of traditional Japanese costume (Waso) with the comfort of Western-styled garments. WESSO VEGE’s mixed things up a little bit by introducing new techniques to ancient Japanese apparel. He achieved this through the technique of ultra-fine pleating on chemical fibres. Predominately the colours of the collection are bold and bright: orange, green and blue.

I've had lots of wonderful things happen in the past week.
1. I got a beautiful rose from my DBF on Friday.
2. I've seen DBF on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday! We live about 20 miles from each other so it does take some work to get together....not to mention money for gas.
3. DBF has agreed to go to church with me on Sunday. All my friends at church are dying to meet him. He's Catholic and I'm Baptist so I'm especially glad he's willing to go at least once. He's had some bad experieces with other churches----snake handling and speaking in tongues!
4. I got hired to tutor a second grade student in reading for an hour twice a week. It will mean an extra $40 a week!
5. Today I got a letter and two pictures from my nephew who's in prison. This is the first time he's contacted this (his dad's) side of the family in the year since he's been in prison. | <urn:uuid:a142f296-a299-4f72-94cd-88ee90ce36cb> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://shelly527in.blogspot.com/2008/08/its-been-good-week.html | 2017-06-27T15:40:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321458.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627152510-20170627172510-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.985027 | 216 | [

|Viet Nam was one of the biggest farm produce export markets in the ASEAN bloc for China. — Photo vietq.vn
HA NOI (VNS) — China hopes that there will be more farm produce cooperation opportunities with Viet Nam as the two countries are both diverse in agricultural resources and their farm produce sectors complement each other.
Rong Wei Dong, Vice President of the China Chamber of Commerce of Foodstuffs and Native Produce (CFNA), expressed this hope at the China – Viet Nam Trade and Investment Matchmaking Meeting yesterday in Ha Noi.
The meeting aimed to create opportunities for enterprises from the two countries to boost cooperation and trade in the farm produce sector.
Viet Nam was one of the biggest farm produce export markets in the ASEAN bloc for China, said Rong.
Farm produce of China exported to Viet Nam hit US$2.4 billion in the first three quarters this year, a year-on-year increase of 13 per cent.
Statistics showed that Vietnamese agricultural exports fell by 4.9 per cent in the first three quarters.
Meanwhile, the country's rice, coffee, banana and pepper exports to China increased 19.4 per cent with a total export revenue of $4.3 billion.
China mainly exports apples, mandarins, and grapes to Viet Nam while Viet Nam exports mainly longans, litchis, banana and rice to China.
The president also highlighted that cross-border e-commerce development has created new cooperation opportunities as many orders on farm produce were traded successfully.
It is forecast that advantageous products of Viet Nam such as coffee will access the Chinese market easier through e-commerce, said Rong.
The president said that the association was willing to create favorable conditions for Vietnamese enterprises to work and do business in China.
He also hoped there would be more such events to enhance understanding and cooperation between the enterprises of the two countries.
On the Vietnamese side, Truong Viet Dung, deputy director of the Ha Noi Trade Promotion Agency, said that the centre would boost cooperation with relevant agencies of China to hold investment promotion activities to provide economic information to enterprises in the upcoming time.
The centre would also continue to organise trade fairs to exchange and promote commodities and business meetings to study export demand of the two sides.
"We commit to create the best conditions for the two countries' enterprises and associations to join market research programmes," he added.
Dung expresses hope that Viet Nam-China cooperation in farm produce would harvest more success in the future, contributing to the increase of export revenue of the two sides.
Viet Nam urges control over banned substance in animal feed
Viet Nam was actively boycotting banned substances in animal feed, as well as "unsafe activities" in producing food, said Le Ba Lich, chairman of the Viet Nam Animal Feed Association.
As Viet Nam joins the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the country's agricultural sector would be much influenced, therefore, the country would focus on improving the quality of farm products.
In joining the TPP, the country's agricultural sector would have to face competitiveness in not only food safety but also price.
The sector would innovate technology and equipment to increase quality to accept competitiveness right in its homeland, Lich said.
Viet Nam would also tighten controls on animal feed smuggled through borders.
Lich expressed hope that his association would receive cooperation from the Chinese side to tighten control on banned substances. — VNS | <urn:uuid:87750edb-0f3e-4497-a683-33b2852fca58> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://vietnamnews.vn/economy/278971/china-eyes-local-farm-produce.html | 2017-06-27T16:02:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321458.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627152510-20170627172510-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.954217 | 710 | [

Ahead of the fashion curve as always, Chloe demonstrates exactly how to take a key catwalk look in this case the scruffy topknot and red lips seen at Erdem and Iceberg and recreate it for real life (or the red carpet, at least).
Unstructured up-dos were seen on the catwalks in every city this season and Chloe has done hers to a tee the style is wispy, tousled and effortless but still has plenty of healthy gloss and polish. Exactly what hair is all about at the moment.
Chloe keeps those trademark red lips looking fresh by setting them against a canvas thats neutral, but dewy and healthy-looking, too (note the sweep of pretty, pink blush). Going for a classic porcelain backdrop could have made this look too old.
(NB. Try Rouge Allure in Enthusiast, £21.50, by Chanel for a similar shade of red.)
But it doesnt stop there. Chloes eyebrows are defined but not dramatic another key a/w look while her gently understated caramel lids are also bang on-trend. We saw lots of sheer, biscuity eyelids backstage.
A subtle sweep of bronze pulls the whole look together and keeps it wearable and fresh. Top marks. | <urn:uuid:510bd125-417d-4b3a-b264-d917343e201a> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.elleuk.com/beauty/beauty-tips/a10518/chloe-sevigny-s-on-trend-look/ | 2017-06-27T15:52:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321458.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627152510-20170627172510-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.956341 | 269 | [

When talking about famous rap quotes, it is important to note that these are not just random lines that were spewed out in order to make a rhyme and finish out a song. These are some of the most famous rap quotes because they made the songs they were used in some of the most popular songs in generations. Some of these famous rap quotes actually put the rappers on the map.
- "You down with OPP? (Yeah you know me)" – "OPP" By "Naughty By Nature" : This particular line in the song "OPP" is the line that made the rap group "Naughty by Nature" a household name in the nineties. The song clearly lays out that "OPP" stands for other people's. privates, depending on whether you are talking about a man or a woman. This is one of the most famous rap quotes because it was basically an anthem for being attracted to other people and being proud of it.
- "I love it when you call me Big Pop-pa" – "Big Poppa." Biggie Smalls, otherwise known as the the "Notorious B.I.G.", utters this line in his signature song. Because of this line as well as the following "throw your hands in the air if you're a true playa", Biggie became quite the rap star before his intimely death.
- "To get a politician to honor or he's a goner, by the time I get to Arizona" – "By the Time I Get to Arizona" This is one of the most famous rap quotes from one of the most famous rap groups of all time: Public Enemy. For years, Arizona was one of the only states in the country that did not observe Martin Luther King Jr. day and several prominent people in the black community made it their goal to change that. This line demonstrates the anger Public Enemy felt towards Arizona during this period.
- "I'm paranoid, sleeping with my finger on the trigger" – "My Mind Is Playin' Tricks On Me" One of the most famous rap quotes from the rap group the Ghetto Boys, this line typifies the life of a true gangster living in the inner cities of America in the nineties. The line is from "Mind playin' tricks on me" which is an entire song about a young man who feels as though one of his enemies is trying to get him.
- "Rollin' down the street, smokin' endo sippin' on Gin and Juice" – "Gin and Juice." While some of the most famous rap quotes are famous because they underline a greater struggle, this one is famous because it illustrates how Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre would relax and just have a good time. This was one of the songs that truly made Snoop Dogg one of the most rappers of a generation.

Gay rights advocates are heralding the victory of a lesbian official in her bid to become mayor of Houston as a triumph for LGBT Americans.
Annise Parker, a Democrat and city controller for Houston, won the city’s Dec. 12 mayoral election by taking 53 percent of the vote. Her win marks the seventh time she’s won a citywide election in Houston and makes the city the most populous in the country to elect an openly LGBT mayor. She takes office Jan. 4.
Paul Scott, executive director for Equality Texas, said Parker’s victory has “multi-layered” significance.
“I think in some ways, we’ve seen the ceiling being broken, not only within the Houston area and Texas, but also nationally in terms of an open lesbian being elected into the highest-level office in the metropolitan area for the fourth largest city in the country,” he said.
Chuck Wolfe, president of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, which endorsed Parker in her race, said the win demonstrates LGBT people “are ready to step up and lead.”
“The voters of Houston have come to realize that sexual orientation is not an indicator of somebody’s ability to do a job,” he said.
Noting that Parker would be expected to testify before the Texas Legislature, Wolfe predicted her role would impact how state lawmakers view LGBT issues.
“When she is in Austin at the state capital — and testifying as the mayor of the largest city in Texas — those state legislators are not going to be able to use sexual orientation as a wedge when they realize they need the support of the largest city in Texas,” he said.
Scott said Parker’s election also could have a direct impact on the 2010 congressional and state House races in the Houston area and would prompt candidates seeking election to look more favorably on LGBT issues.
“As a result, we see this as a positive impact in terms of not only GLBT candidates being evaluated for their qualifications, but those who support GLBT issues also knowing that their stance on these issues does not have to be detrimental to their campaigns,” he said.
A longtime public official in Houston, Parker was first elected as Houston’s city controller in 2003, and before that served as a Houston City Council member since 1997.
In an interview Monday on MSNBC, Parker said she won because she’s truthful to her constituents.
“I’ve always been completely honest with the voters of Houston — whether [it’s] about my sexual orientation, whether it’s about the fact that my life partner of 19 years and I have multi-racial kids that we’ve adopted,” she said. “They know me, they trust me, they know I’ll tell them the truth, and in this economy, when there’s a lot of uncertainty, you want someone that you know you can depend on.”
She also is no stranger to fighting for LGBT rights, and campaigned against repeal of Houston’s non-discrimination policy in 1985 and passage of a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage in Texas in 2005. As a city council member, she led an effort to pass an ordinance to reinstate Houston’s non-discrimination policy in 2001.
Asked by MSNBC whether LGBT rights would be a priority for her as mayor, Parker responded that’s “part of a hard conversation I had with supporters in the LGBT community.”
“I’ve been a role model and a hard worker for my community for more than 30 years, but in that conversation, I was very frank, and said, ‘My focus as mayor of Houston will be the financial issues of the city, trying to make Houston the best city it can be in dealing with those problems,’” she said.
Parker told MSNBC she assumes Houston will revisit the issue of providing domestic partner benefits to LGBT city workers, but said she doesn’t intend to make this effort a priority.
“It is not something I intend to initiate,” she said. “My focus is what is best for all the citizens of Houston.”
With Parker acknowledging she’s a role model for the LGBT community, Wolfe said her win could encourage other LGBT people to become public about their sexual orientation or gender identity and seek public office.
“I think the ability for other people interested in government — whether they are the young people in student government, whether they are closeted people in business who’ve thought about [how] they want to be involved and whether they should come out … I think that role model position she is in is significant,” he said.
The campaign wasn’t free of anti-gay smears. A mailing sent out earlier this month urged voters to reject Parker and other gay candidates because they were “endorsed by the gay and lesbian political action committee,” an apparent reference to Houston’s Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Political Caucus, according to the Houston Chronicle.
The Chronicle reported earlier this month that the finance chair and finance committee chair for Parker’s opponent in the election, Democrat Gene Locke, helped bankroll the political action committee that sent out the mailings. The Locke campaign denied the financial contributions were part of any kind of illegal coordination, according to the Chronicle.
Wolfe said Parker’s ability to win despite the mailings shows that employing divisive anti-gay politics in campaigns doesn’t work and is “starting to have the opposite effect.”
In her MSNBC interview, Parker addressed the anti-gay smears.
“The fact that I used to be — or was a very public gay activist is part of my political resume,” she said. “Voters knew that, they were reminded of it in a very negative way in the last two weeks of the campaign, but they chose to focus on the fact that they knew me and done good work for them, I believe.” | <urn:uuid:c47c74de-cf00-4246-b146-7a85dff7a7cc> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.washingtonblade.com/2009/12/18/parker%E2%80%99s-win-hailed-as-major-breakthrough/ | 2017-06-27T16:51:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321458.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627152510-20170627172510-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.970644 | 1,260 | [

The overwhelming majority of cases of ingrown toenails I see come from people chewing on their toenails. So the really, really Quick Tip is keep your feet out of your mouth. If only it was that simple.
Ingrown toenails themselves aren’t the problem. The resulting skin infection and pain are what bring you in to the emergency room. The ingrown toenail is caused by the nail burrowing into the skin of the toe instead of growing out and over it. I’ve always found it interesting that people wait so long for such things, but in this instance, if you are going to wait, there actually are things you can do to potentially make it better. You’ll know you need to do this if you have a red, swollen, painful toe and especially short toenails.
- Soak your feet two-three times a day for 15 minutes at a time.
- Attempt to lift the nail by placing cotton or dental floss under the toenail after you soak. The goal is to get that nail corner above the skin.
- Wear open-toed shoes. This is not the time when you’d want to have any pressure on your toes.
- Place a topical antibiotic on the area.
Have you ever seen a bad ingrown toenail get removed? If you have, you’ll likely agree that it’s a deterrent to having another one. Treatment usually involves lots of local anesthesia (i.e. needles) and partial manual removal of the toenail. It’s not a good day when this has to happen. By the way, the above picture is what your toe looks like after repair!
So, you can avoid this fate. Just follow a few simple steps to avoid it in the first place.
- Don’t bite your nails. Doing so just adds the risk of really bad types of bacteria to the mix for when the infection occurs.
- Don’t cut your toenail so short that you can’t see some of the white tips. Be sure to let the corners extend past the skin.
- Don’t wear excessively tight shoes that literally smash your toes onto themselves.
Here’s a final note: if you’re diabetic or have another cause of a compromised immune system, these infections can spread rapidly and extend into the bone – these infections are very serious. In some cases this has led to amputated toes. If an ingrown toenail happens to you, I’d suggest getting seen sooner rather than later. | <urn:uuid:81ef0e6c-8eae-4c2a-b8c1-fb817d455cd1> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://jeffreysterlingmd.com/2016/03/27/straight-no-chaser-ingrown-toenails-2/ | 2017-06-27T15:46:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321458.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627152510-20170627172510-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.93337 | 540 | [

Experiments proposed to manipulate liking so as to produce the most effective imitation.
Condition 1: simple imitation
Condition 2: persuasion
Condition 3: agreement
Checking if there is a similar process.
Optional condition: with or without altruism.
This to test meme-driven altruism.
But complication by the effects of the reciprocating rule!
Power of media:
are they becoming a currency by tuning into them.
Like podcasts, commercial television, ...
Experiments on people with opposing views. How they change their minds.
Prediction 1: listening makes able to change our mind, even if by will or choice.
Prediction 2: people will conform themselves more outspoken when otherwise not heard.

A Northampton man has been sentenced to five years and four months in prisonfor child sex offences.
Mark Richard Rands, 53, from Southfield Road, Duston, also received a five-year extended licence and will remain on the sex offender register for life.
Rands was convicted at Northampton Crown Court of two counts of sexual activity with a child and two counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity today.
The sentencing followed an investigation by the force’s MOSOVO (Management of Sexual Offenders and Violent Offenders) team, led by Detective Constable Martin Treen, in conjunction with the RISE (Reducing Incidents of Sexual Exploitation) team.
Anybody with any concerns relating to child sexual exploitation should call Northamptonshire Police on 101, or the Child Safeguarding Team on 0300 126 1000. | <urn:uuid:2ede8b68-0a67-45a8-95ce-effaf19d8e74> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/crime/northampton-man-jailed-for-five-years-for-child-sex-offences-1-7474030 | 2017-06-28T10:31:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323604.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628101910-20170628121910-00516.warc.gz | en | 0.931692 | 181 | [

APHORISMS, maxims and adages. Only Dolly Parton or Oscar Wilde should be allowed. Otherwise, random people write cringey ones, they end up on signs sold in gift shops and then appear in places like this bar and bistro, which is stuffed with them.
40 Portobello High Street
(0131 669 2750, www.forestersguild.co.uk)
“Do more of what makes you happy”; “Smile until your face hurts”; “Life is short”; “Give me the coffee and nobody gets hurt”.
The worst ones are chalked on to the blackboards; “Restaurants are like mouth brothels, there’s no point going to them if one intends to keep one’s belt buckled, F Raphael”, and “He was a wise man who invented beer.” I thought about writing; “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade” on a napkin, but decided not to be so facetious.
From the outside, this mouth brothel looks hipster-tastic, with a stripped back shop front and highly polished brass plaques like the ones you’d see outside a building society.
I imagined the clientele might be all beard and no socks, but it’s not quite as trendy indoors.
There are tub chairs and those faux marble topped pub tables, a vintage map of Portobello printed on the ceiling, bell jar-like lampshades and, out back, a beer garden with sorbet-coloured and sock-striped beach huts. On our Sunday lunchtime visit, the place was packed with families.
The menu is nicely designed, in that it’s not thesis-length, but there’s enough to please pub grubbers as well as hoity toities.
We went for the bistro-style smoked ham hock and rabbit terrine (£6.50) and macaroni cheddar cheese and mozzarella bon bons (£5.95). The latter consisted of three breaded bollards of stringy melted cheese, with pasta tubes trapped in the dairy lava. They came with a ramekin of vinegary sweet chilli sauce, which tasted more sophisticated than the usual hot jam, but was annoyingly watery so wouldn’t adhere to the bon-bons’ curves. Still, this option was the calamine lotion to a stodgy food itch that’s usually only satisfied by macaroni pie.
My starter was a nicely presented gelatine-clad and marbled brick of pink and white meat, which was laced with caraway seed and finely chopped leek. Though the carrot ingredient was a little too chunky and solid, this protein fix tasted clean, with semi-transparent sheets of rolled white-wine-vinegar-pickled vegetable on the side and a smudge of cayenne pepper-dusted “piccalilli purée”.
Our first main – Loch Duart salmon (£10.95) – featured a pile of rather bland tasting ratatouille, but also a buttery golden-fringed rosti and a well-seasoned piece of fish, with skin as crisp as a newly-minted bank note.
The Gressingham duck leg cassoulet (£10.95) was equally good, with a paprika-sweet mixture of haricot beans under a fat and soft limb. Perhaps we could have done without the lumps of oddly crumbly and blah chorizo, and they could have done something to jazz up some unadorned steamed kale, but, hey, one can’t have everything.
At least they spoiled us with the puddings. Chocolate and hazelnut brownie (£5.95) was grown-up rather than kiddyish – rich, sticky-centred and cocoa-steamy, with a scoop of double cream and a dozen kirsch-injected cherries on the side.
A bowlful of slick and lush panna cotta (£4.95) was topped with cinnamon and nutmeg-spiced plum quarters and a layer of their fruity blood.
Hey Guild of Foresters, write this on one of your signs: This place won’t make you smile until your face hurts, laugh until you can’t breathe or dance like nobody’s watching, but we’re definitely no lemon.

I just got back from Burning Man, and the above is what I shared with the insane weirdos that inhabit that god forsaken, sun baked, and wind ravaged piece of earth. The theme of the festival was evolution. My take on that was to mimic the evolution of poster layering as seen on our city streets. I also meant Gaia to be holding a pictorial representation of evolution in each one of her hands. Unfortunately, booze, the sun, and shiny things all worked to distract me from completing the piece. I brought it home with me though, so sometime soon it'll make another appearance in a new incarnation. | <urn:uuid:c084b2fd-8a09-49f4-8b99-184fb0f496cd> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://efterblivetcollective.blogspot.com/2009/09/ | 2017-06-22T23:51:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319933.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20170622234435-20170623014435-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.971247 | 133 | [

It was 2:29 AM. I was wolfing down a steak at a truckstop diner, in between spreading pallets of bees in the pear orchards. A bee popped out of my sleeve while I was ordering and I quickly scooped her up and held her in my hand. She hadn’t stung and was intact, so she had a chance if I got her back to a hive.
But the waitress had noticed. Her eyes got large as she asked, “What was that?”
I tried to look casual and innocent: “Nothing.” But she persisted, “Was that was a bee?”
I nodded reluctantly, and she asked me to take it outside, which I did. Later, she came over and said, “Can I ask you something? If I hadn’t seen that bee, would you have just held it the whole meal?” I shrugged—I hadn’t thought that far ahead—and she said, “I’ve never seen anything like that. You must really love your bees.”
It made me tremendously happy to realize she was absolutely right, I really do love them. Then she said, “I’m going to have to look up honey bees and read about them.”
That was the honey on the hot bun! | <urn:uuid:ef85dd7e-5ea7-42e3-9dc0-9797d3464928> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://wingedbook.com/2014/01/23/bee-at-the-truckstop-diner/ | 2017-06-22T23:57:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319933.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20170622234435-20170623014435-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.993305 | 284 | [

The familiar comfort of Frank’s faux-leather recliner rocked and lulled while the TV blathered through the drowsy fog. Endless late hours finally caught up to her. Stress, worry and insomnia conspired against a good night of sleep. She pushed info on the remote; 12:37 a.m. Clara shut the TV and lights off and stumbled to the bathroom for a hot soak, and a little bit of “The Girl….” to soothe her into sleep.
She was running on empty. Trying not to confuse rearviews with sunrises.
Sinking into the steamy heat, head back, eyes closed, hand and kindle dangled.
Last time with ”Faith from Ruin” ~ Misplaced Hope
One year ago I began this story with a song, “Running on Empty” by Jackson Browne. This week 100 Word Song had the same song chosen as a prompt. Maybe this is chapter Two. I still love this song and Jackson Browne. I close my eyes and feel 16 again.
Shane plugged the address into his Samsung and tossed it onto the Camaro’s leather bucket seat. Calling WesLea’s was a good idea. He knew she’d give Clara up. She was weak and had a soft spot for him. Of course Clara would eventually reach out to family, and she did.
He’d persuade her, bring her back with flowers, candy, promises, whatever the hell she wanted. He still thought they were just two fools in love.
He muttered, “God, I miss the honky tonks. Milk shakes at Dairy Queen, and 7-Eleven’s Doritos.”
580hp roared onto the highway,
“I must be crazy.”
Last time with ”Faith from Ruin” ~ All Right
A new installment written with the 100 Word Song prompt at My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog. The song this week is (Nothing but) Flowers by The Talking Heads. Lots of material to work with in this song.
This installment finds Clara’s sister WesLea is creating issues for Clara consorting with Shane.
(Nothing but) Flowers Talking Heads
”Faith from Ruin” last time ~ Bittersweet
When Clara met Shane, he was little off track. The year off college was meant to refocus his goals, but he never went back. She met him in a bar where he was a regular. He had a table in the back and with a tip of his head, the bartender delivered her a copy of her Chardonnay with a wet napkin and a nod toward Shane’s table. His allure was like magic. She easily coasted into him. His embrace plunged them downward.
Hope kept her there until all she wanted to do was disappear.
Above and Below
Flexing my writers muscles,I’m headed back to various prompts and 100 Word Song is one of my favorites. Sharing a love of music with the creator, Sir Lance makes it a natural choice for me. I got all confused and originally clicked on the wrong post where he wrote with the song “Welcome to the Boomtown”. It is one of the best one hit wonders. Ever. Such a shame too because it was worthy of so much more from this duo. So I wrote to that song. Then I clicked over and saw my error. Found the REAL 100 Word Song choice was “Above & Below” by Bravery, which I found I really like lyrically and musically. With a little work I was able to rework this piece and include it into the story. So you get a twofer!
Boomtown fit Shane well with his drinking, abusive yet charismatic guy who pulled Clara into his orbit. Above and Below fit Clara for the last line.
”Faith from Ruin” last time ~ Guardian Angels
Supper, hearty and bountiful finished, they shared hugs and good nights with the Lerners’ and walked to their room. Lucy grabbed the remote and clicked the TV.
“Luce, it’s late need to get ready for bed.”
Clara’s small smile and sideways look exposed the mischief brewing, “Aww mom? What did you say? Aww mom? I’ll show you aww mom!”
She grabbed her daughter, rolled onto the bed with her, exposing her baby soft belly, “Lovebuzz!” and blew a loud zerbert to gales of uncontrollable wiggling and laughter.
She smiled again, “You ready for bed? or you want more?.”
LeeRoy over at My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog chose this weeks song in honor of his robot brother Lance’s discovery of Nirvana 24 years ago. The song he picked was “Love Buzz” and you can click over and give it a listen.
Clara and Lucy are beginning to feel happiness especially in this moment of silliness. Don’t Worry be Happy is a favorite smiling go to song for me. I can’t help but tap my toes and sing along.
Lucy carefully stabbed pancake bites, and swirled each in strawberry topping as she chewed the previous forkful. She ate with such pleasure, Clara could almost taste the strawberries and cream.
Fatigue finally caught up and her mind wandered. She’d been losing sleep dreaming about the things that could have been. She’d prayed so hard, but it was useless. She was ready to take her past, burn it then throw it in the river. She had to leave it behind and start over. Determination replaced anger and regret.
Hot bacon and eggs waited. She smiled, worry erased, and hungrily began eating.
Lance and LeeRoy called on me to pick this weeks song for 100 Word Song. I am currently obsessed with Counting Stars and One Republic. Can not get the song out of my head and it was a great fit for this installment of Clara and Lucy’s story.
The last Faith from Ruin post was The Long Road. < Click on the link and catch up if you missed it.
Last ”Faith from Ruin” installment — The Threat
Shane hung up and the iPhone’s screen went black. A smile twitch her mouth and she shook quietly, laughing. He was like an evil robot trying to defeat her, operating on a program designed for every abuser. As a dispatcher she’d heard it all. Laughing tears flowed as she remembered and wondered how she found one of those robots.
Lucy slept, and she wanted a cold drink. Inside she wiped tears and kept chuckling. At the register she grabbed a vitamin pack and thought, gotta be strong to fight him. Take lots of vitamins. It’d be tragic if Shane won.
100 Word Song, Lance, LeeRoy and Jen provided inspiration with the song “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots” by the Flaming Lips. Interesting lyrics and I lifted a few and the theme of battling from the song to continue Clara’s story of escaping an abusive husband.
Last ”Faith from Ruin” installment — Charming Lucy
Nearing five hours driving, Clara stopped for gas. Lucy slept; she pumped. Distracted, she absentmindedly answered her phone before looking.
“Clara what the hell is going on? I’ve been calling and no one is giving me any answers. Where are you?”
“We’re leaving Shane. For good and you KNOW why so stop calling.”
Thumb ready to press “End”, Shane shouted,
Exasperated, “What! What do you want Shane?”
“I know I go hard and I don’t always do what I’m suppose to, but you need to come home Clara. You don’t? I’ll find you. Nobody’s gonna see me coming.”
100 Word Song-Classified
Linking up with Lance and LeeRoy at My Blog Can Beat up Your Blog for the 100 Words Song. Carrie did the choosing this week with “Classified” by Inner Ninja. Not my style of music so I did a lyric search and found some great inspiration there for this installment. I added a different song by a band that, well is awesome, classic, amazing. Pink Floyd’s “Don’t Leave Me Now”. Yes. And the lyric is creepy and stalker-ish and very Shane. | <urn:uuid:9b6e257b-dcc1-41ad-afa9-afa3a119fa24> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://debbiesdays.wordpress.com/tag/100-word-song/ | 2017-06-23T19:01:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320130.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623184505-20170623204505-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.958909 | 1,820 | [

By Evil Twin Brewing
Aún Más A Jesús Brewed in Companyia Cervesera del Montseny SLL, Catalunya, Spain
Even More Jesus Brewed in Valby, Denmark
Both have a ABV of 12% Alcohol
Both Imperial Stouts
Evil Twin is brewed by a Gypsy brewer that goes around all over the globe establishing areas to create beer. Much like his brothers beer company "Mikkeller", the style of beer is always a unique take with interesting marketing such as naming a beer "Even More Jesus". These beers tend to be priced highly, with these 12ozs pricing at $11.00. Drinking these side by side I will hyphen it with a E for Even More Jesus and an A, for "Aún Más".
Visual: Both of these are pitch black, A comes out much thicker but E has a bigger head with a dark brown head. A almost gushes out like motor oil.
Smell: Aun has a slightly sweet sugary smell, with heavy dark chocolate and coffee. Even smells more like alcohol.
Taste: Even's alcohol is very apparent with a heavy expresso taste and alcohol heat lingering. Aun is more balanced with a really thick mouthfeel that coats the mouth. Slightly sweet dark coffee, fudge, a lot more balanced. A slight cherry taste to it. As it warms up you get a slight buttery mouthfeel, almost like a chocolate batter. Even's alcohol is more balanced but it still isn't well balanced.
Overall: These beers feel very different from all aspects, Although both have chocolate and coffee the type of ingrediants feel like a different formula. The alcohol in Even More overwhelms from the other flavors. Aun is more balanced but I don't feel like the price is justified.

Making timely applications of water, fertilizer and pesticide isn't always a matter of knowing when and where to treat, according to Bishop Whitley and his father, Wayne. Often, it means getting in a spray rig or pickup truck when you would rather be somewhere else.
On those days, what matters most is support from family, consultants and labor. Fortunately, this quality is in abundance on the Whitley's 3,000-acre cotton operation at Black Oak, Ark.
“We're blessed with a good family that understands, that helps out,” Bishop said. “Sometimes you have to go to work when you don't want to, when you'd rather be with your family. It helps when your wife understands it's Saturday afternoon and you need to be working.”
“They love what they do,” added Danny Dunigan, who consults for the Whitleys with his brother, Eddie. “They put their heart in that soil. Farming is their life. That's why they are successful.”
The Whitleys, who are third- and fourth-generation producers on the farm, get started on their next cotton crop as soon as they can after harvest. They cut stalks, subsoil, hip up and plant wheat in the middles.
Wheat provides protection against blowing sand, a consistent problem in the region. The Whitleys go with a light rate of wheat because they also furrow irrigate the middles. “We need the wheat, but only until the cotton gets big enough (to fend off the blowing sand).”
In early March, they take out winter weeds with 2,4-D or Clarity. A week before planting, they kill the wheat, run a Do-all and plant. They put out dry fertilizer preplant, and sidedress liquid nitrogen after the cotton is up in May.
Their primary variety this year is Stoneville ST4892BR. A small amount is Deltapine DP 444 BG/RR and FiberMax FM 960. ST4793R is their refuge cotton.
Until a few years ago, the Whitleys did not raise much Bt cotton, noted consultant Eddie Dunigan. “Two years ago, everybody around here got caught with their pants down with tobacco budworms. We had never had them before. Then last year, we had fall armyworms.”
The Whitleys and their consultants were able to avoid significant damage from budworms with Tracer, although it was a more costly crop than they had budgeted.
At planting this year, the Whitleys went in-furrow with Ridomil and Quadris, Baythroid for cutworms and 4.5 pounds of Temik. So far, they have been impressed with how the Temik has performed compared to a seed-applied product used on a small acreage. “Usually, we can tell right to the row where the Temik was used and where we had a seed treatment,” Bishop said.
To their first over-the-top Roundup application they add Bidrin to keep down thrips. After 10 days, they make a second over-the-top Roundup application, using two 6700 John Deere High Boys. “We can spray everything in three days,” Bishop said.
After that, they make hooded applications of Roundup and use Direx in the middles on some problem fields.
The Whitleys meet with the Dunigans mid-morning on Mondays, after the consultants have had a chance to observe a few fields. “We can get to running on a few things, then we get the full report,” Bishop said. “Anytime I'm about to cross a field, we get a game plan on what other applications need to go out.”
For example, if the Dunigans are finding enough winged aphids in the cotton to cause concern, “we'll add some Trimax to the Roundup,” Eddie said. “That saves a trip over the field.”
The Dunigans say there appears to be some yield enhancement from preventive applications of Trimax as well. But the real benefit is avoiding serious trouble with aphids.
“We've had them in the past, didn't think we needed to treat them, then the next thing we knew, we had lots and lots of them,” Eddie said. “It's hard to play catch up with aphids.”
When the plant starts getting some size on it, “we try to get a little plant growth regulator in the plant,” Whitley said. “Right before it laps, we hit it with a pint of PGR.”
Keeping the plant size down means the Whitleys will harvest seven to 10 days earlier, according to the Dunigans. “That can make a big difference,” Danny says. “Wet weather can cost you half a bale to three-fourths of a bale.”
All of the Whitley cotton is irrigated, except for a few small fields. They have one center pivot; the rest is furrow-irrigated. Irrigation begins around first bloom, according to Bishop. “We try to not let the plant stress at all. The better the crop is growing, the less weather is going to work on it. That's what we try to do all year long.”
Timing is crucial in any irrigation schedule, according to Bishop. “If it's time to water on a Friday, I don't want to wait until Monday to get a good schedule going. You do it when it comes time to do it and don't worry about it.”
The Whitleys expect to make at least one pyrethroid application for bollworms on Bt cotton each year. “Our primary worm has always been the bollworm,” Eddie said. But spider mites have become a bigger problem recently.
One insect the Whitleys have not seen much recently is the boll weevil. The region is in its first full year of eradication, after a diapause program in the fall of 2003 and a lot of controversy over its value in the years before that. Noted Bishop, “Everybody is entitled to his own opinion. But it does work well for our operation.”
Another key is piggybacking foliar feeding with their applications and adding boron to the nitrogen right before bloom. They make up to three trips for foliar feeding.
Whitley will go with a two-step defoliation program, with hopes of harvesting around Sept. 10. “We go with a boll opener, Super Boll or Prep, and DEF to knock the top canopy out. Seven to 10 days later we put out a heavier shot of boll opener and DEF.”
At this point in the season, the Whitleys' cotton crop, which went in early, has missed a lot of the excess rain that has fallen on parts of the Mid-South. In fact, many of their fields could use some rain. The crop is about 10 to 14 days earlier than last year, too, according to the Dunigans.
Last year, the Whitleys' cotton yielded 1,125 pounds of lint across the farm. “We're usually pleased with 1,000 pounds plus,” Bishop said. “Last year, some farms picked over 1,300 pounds.”
The Dunigans point out that the Whitleys' consistently good yields can be attributed in large part to their approach — going for big yields and never letting the crop stress.
“At the end of the year, I don't want to look back and say that on some weekend, I should have been working,” Bishop said. “I think about my grandpa (Lawrence Bishop, for whom Bishop was named). He used to be the hardest worker around. At the end of the day, I want to think that my grandpa would be proud.”

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Surgras - Concentrated Shower-Cream Anti-Dryness 200ml is rated out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Linco from Luxuriously moisturising Cleans and moisturises. I used a sponge and which helped produce a lather effect. Felt lovely on the skin, no irritation or stinging sensation. Left skin feeling moisturised until next shower. Would defnately recommend. I suffer from eczema on hands and arm and it did not irritate at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sophe from lovely and luxurious for sensitive skin This is a really lovely shower cream, it's not too scented and it has such a lovely creamy luxurious texture which you rarely get with sensitive shower products. Worth every penny.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kittykitkat from Keeps the skin hydrated I initially bought the small squeeze bottle to try out it's effectiveness and found that it keeps your skin hydrated. As the weather changes my eczema comes out to play and my skin generally looks more scaley however, I found that my skin was under control with this product. You only need a small amount and it foams enough for your entire body. Because you need a small amount it lasts longer, I've now bought the larger bottle and the pump is much better because I don't have to worry about squeezing large amounts. Overall a great product and I feel this brand is best for my skin !!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nasus from Great product - does not dry my skin out at all! All my life I have had dry skin, trying various products but even olive oil based body wash eg Savon de Marseille are not as gentle as Lipikar Surgras. The fact is it is soap and paraben free I think is the key. You don't need to use much of it either so I think it is good value. I'm so glad a friend gave me some as a present - it is something I will continue to use.

WOW! That is reassuring!
After blowing a trip to Sipadan with the first flood and loosing the first EX1, you go out buying a new camera, go to Bali, flood the second EX1 on the third dive (meaning another wasted trip) and then you go from Belgium to California to Gates to get a tour and "act of God" as an explanation. WOW! That is reassuring! You have wasted more than 20 000 € (an estimate for the first EX1, Sipadan, Bali and California) and precious time to get no explanation to this recurrent problem !!! This is lame.
Since there is no explanation for the flooding, how confident are you to go back in the water with EX1 number 3? Oh, I was forgetting that you are now insured but for how long?
Also not revealing the details of the agreement after using this forum for leverage in your legitimate claim is rather bad.
Using this forum as "leverage" that is not the way i see it!
I am allready for years on this forum and i learned allot here, and i used this forum to tell my storry and trying to find out what happend, and if you see to all the people against me in the beginning of the treath i do not think GATES had big problems with this treath.
But you are right i lost allot of time and money but the big question is is this GATES or my mistake?
And till now there is no answer on that, and that is what is BAD! i really like to know what is happend end why! and i can tell you GATES is thinking just the same and is looking like crazy to find a answer and i trust them if they find somthing no matter what they will tell the truth.
Even today i got a mail from John about new test's he is trying on the moment.
The details about the agreement are not important, the fact that i can tell everybody i left GATES with a good feeling is the only thing that counts.
And offcourse i will not feeling 100% going in the water with my 3th EX1, but John told me there is no way that i will have a flood again and the only thing i can do is believe this!
O yeah, and i can tell everybody that i recieved my money today from the insurance from the second EX1, divemaster whas really correct!
And also today i recieved my EX1 back the camera not even filmed 1 hour and looks like brand new but is worth nothing verry strange!
I am thinking to buy a fishtank with some fishes and put it on the bottom :-) | <urn:uuid:22cd895a-bfcc-46e8-939e-98c81e3ff9a5> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://wetpixel.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=32024&page=7 | 2017-06-26T22:49:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320869.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626221252-20170627001252-00636.warc.gz | en | 0.957611 | 553 | [

Earlier this week Mark and I had one of our periodic spats that led to a lot of sitting in separate rooms sulking, thinking the other deeply unfair and awful.
In hindsight, it is always amusing how we retreat into our own chosen ‘safe rooms’; he in the living room and me up on the second floor in our ‘office’. There we sit, fuming about how impossible the other person is. Then, Amy Winehouse’s “Love is a losing game” may thunder in my Grado’s.
I hate those days, because I think I don’t like conflict, but I can’t help myself because during those days I want to win. Whatever ‘win’ means in these situations. Do people formulate petty and mean victory conditions that must be fulfilled to satisfy the wounded ego? Afterwards, it seems so mean-spirited and low.
It is also amusing, afterwards, to think of how bad those days make me feel. Like there’s something liquid and something on fire in my stomach. In the midst of that want to wipe the smug off his face, it’s almost like I have to go to the loo, all the time. And that drives down my mood to the gutter.
Mark is an emotional flat-liner for the most part, and I usually joke that he’s my mood-control Mark I. But of course, my emotional roller coaster rides affect him too. So my swings aren’t as wild and as fearful, but his levelness does become a mood sine-wave.
When my flaring temper create valleys in his neutralities, I think they also create the hills sometimes. Like today. And his valleys and his highs allow my flaring feelings to ride higher and sink lower. Maybe it’s not so much that he’s my mood-control device. Maybe I’m his temper-amplifier? Or maybe we both amplify and dampen each other? I don’t know. But today was pretty good, because he came to fetch me in his car, and we had a long drive, and he was in such a good mood that it made me feel invincible and strong and happy.
So… aren’t the bad days just reflections on good days? Aren’t they bad simply because we know how good they could be? Aren’t the bad days the failures when we are more angry about what we’re missing? If we never had these good days, then those other days would not feel such a disappointment and a waste because… that’s what we would expect and prepare for? | <urn:uuid:def9852a-db68-4105-b966-d9ab2c3f606d> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://colinon.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/love-is-not-a-losing-game-always/ | 2017-06-26T22:35:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320869.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626221252-20170627001252-00636.warc.gz | en | 0.973727 | 561 | [

The Buried Life - Carrie Patel
The gaslight and shadows of the underground city of Recoletta hide secrets and lies. When Inspector Liesl Malone investigates the murder of a renowned historian, she finds herself stonewalled by the all-powerful Directorate of Preservation – Ricoletta’s top-secret historical research facility.
When a second high-profile murder threatens the very fabric of city society, Malone and her rookie partner Rafe Sundar must tread carefully, lest they fall victim to not only the criminals they seek, but the government which purports to protect them. Knowledge is power, and power must be preserved at all costs…
*Received in exchange for an honest review*
*Thank you Angry Robot Books*
I was so, so excited for this book. During my time at Angry Robot Books, Carrie's book was one of the ones that were up for acquisitions and I backed it 100%. Having read the first five chapters I had to know more about Malone and Jane. I had to find out what was going on in Ricoletta and what the hell the project Prometheus was. Gaslight novels aren't something that I'm overly familiar with but I was hooked on Carrie's writing style and this world that she'd built. Ricoletta is a city that lives below ground level and I couldn't wait to see how this all played out.
I really enjoyed this book, the only problem I had with it was that it was a little slow. I felt like it was a little jumpy in places and I found it difficult to follow where it was all going. When things were finally revealed it started to make more sense, but it wasn't the book that I thought it was going to be. This doesn't mean it wasn't an enjoyable book. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the second. With some of the twists and turns that the ending took, it would be impossible not to. I'm intrigued to find out what happens to these characters and how things are going to play out following Prometheus.
Although I had a few issues with the book, I still found it to be a really gritty and exciting read. I loved both of the protagonists - some pretty kickass females - and I loved the fact that they were so human. They had flaws but still managed to be courageous and strong. I'm definitely intrigued for the next book. This was a lovely debut and it made for a nice easy read. I'd definitely recommend it as something a little different; a mixture of crime and steampunk, something new from Angry Robot and well worth a read! | <urn:uuid:10d68037-a8c1-4046-8f3e-7d45514e96e6> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://uncorkedthoughts.blogspot.com/2014/07/review-buried-life-carrie-patel.html | 2017-06-27T17:23:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321497.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627170831-20170627190831-00716.warc.gz | en | 0.987912 | 527 | [

3 shrew in a terrarium
Shrews are the smallest mammalian predators on Earth. The Etruscan shrew (Suncus etruscus), weighing only 2 grams, is the smallest living terrestrial mammal.
They are so tiny that their energy expenditure per unit mass is the highest amongst all mammals, so much so that they require 3 times their own body weight in food just to stay alive, making them gram-for-gram the most voracious predators on Earth.
Someone once kept 3 shrews in a terrarium. One day, he was late for work and forgot to feed them. Guess what he found in the terrarium when he came home in the evening?
A lot of shrew droppings, and the front half of one shrew.
Finally, he figured out what happened: First, two of the shrews killed and ate the third. Second, one of the remaing two killed and ate the other. Third, in desperation, the last shrew ate itself alive from the tail up.
This means that an animal would rather eat itself alive than starve to death.
The 200 or so nations on the planet today are like the three shrews in the terrarium. Think about it.

The Olympische Auswahl of the Deutsche Demokratische Republik stand at attention for the national anthem prior to the Olympic qualifier with Austria at the Georgij Dimitroff Stadion in Erfurt on October 29, 1975.
left to right — Joachim STREICH (FC Magdeburg), Konrad WEISE (FC Carl Zeiss Jena), Reinhard HAEFNER (Dynamo Dresden), Peter DUCKE (FC Carl Zeiss Jena), Hans-Juergen RIEDIGER (Dynamo Berlin), Joachim FRITSCHE (FC Lokomotive Leipzig), Eberhard VOGEL (FC Carl Zeiss Jena), Gerd WEBER (Dynamo Dresden), Hartmut SCHADE (Dynamo Dresden), Juergen CROY (FC Sachsenring Zwickau), captain Hans-Juergen DOERNER (Dynamo Dresden)
East Germany defeated Austria 1-0 on the strength of a goal by the all-time leading scorer in the history of the D.D.R. national team, JOACHIM STREICH; the sign in the background at the re-named Steigerwaldstadion originally opened in May of 1931 simply states, “Hohe sportliche Leistungen zur Staerkung der DDR” — High sporting achievements for the stabilization of the GDR.
In the end, a goalless draw against a pre-occupied opponent in a stadium less than half full was enough to get defending Olympic bronze medalist EAST GERMANY to the final tournament of the football competition of the 1976 Summer Games to be held Montreal, Canada.
The national side of World Cup trainer GEORG BUSCHNER certainly got off to a slow start in the first round knockout tie with Greece. 32-year-old veteran forward EBERHARD VOGEL of FC Carl Zeiss Jena, who earned a bronze medal for the German Democratic Republic at both the 1964 Games in Tokyo and the 1972 Games in Munich, was able to account for the only goal of the first leg in Athens before adding another in the return encounter at Erfurt. Two more medalists from Munich who also won the 1974 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup with FC Magdeburg, midfielder JUERGEN POMMERENKE and defender MANFRED ZAPF, as well as 19-year-old forward HANS-JUERGEN RIEDIGER of Dynamo Berlin also managed goals for the Deutsche Demokratische Republik in the second leg as the Greeks were dispatched 5-0 on aggregate.
The final Olympic qualification group which included the East Germans, Czechoslovakia and Austria would not be decided until the very last match itself. Whereas the D.D.R. had collected full points in each of their two contests with the Austrians, the Czechoslovaks had dropped a point with a draw in Vienna and, therefore, needed to win in Leipzig in order to leapfrog over East Germany in the final standings. Thanks to a goal from World Cup defender KONRAD WEISE of FC Carl Zeiss Jena, the G.D.R. had forged a 1-1 result against neighboring Czechoslovakia in Prague previously in late November of 1975.
East Germany’s formidable 1974 World Cup goalkeeper JUERGEN CROY of FC Sachsenring Zwickau conceded just one goal in six qualification matches to help the Deutsche Demokratische Republik, the joint bronze medalists from the 1972 Olympics at Munich, reach the final tournament of the football competiton at the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, Canada.
Historically speaking, the East Germans typically used the occasion of Olympic qualifiers to give some of the countries’ cities with smaller stadiums, such as Erfurt or Rostock, the opportunity to host an international football match. However, for the pivotal group game opposite the Czechoslovaks to be played in early April of 1976, the Deutscher Fussball Verband decided to stage the affair at the official national sports arena, the massive Zentralstadion (capable of holding more than 100,000 spectators) in Leipzig. It should be remembered that, in the eyes of those at the very highest level of government in the old D.D.R., athletic success specifically attained at the Olympic Games, itself, was considered to be the ultimate achievement.
Czechoslovakia, meanwhile, had won its qualifying group for the 1976 European Championships but had still yet to face the beaten finalist from four years earlier, the Soviet Union, in either leg of the quarterfinals; the East Germans, by direct comparison, had already been knocked out of the tournament and could afford to focus full attention on the Olympics scheduled for Montreal.
Considering the facts in the favor of the German Democratic Republic that a tie would, indeed, do the trick and also that the experienced JUERGEN CROY of FC Sachsenring Zwickau was to be found standing between the sticks in front of the 45,000 who turned out in Leipzig, the 0-0 result was something that should have been much less than shocking. | <urn:uuid:5c2110f2-a2cb-4edc-8f97-e7a48e6dbc7c> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://lvironpigs.wordpress.com/2011/11/26/german-football-at-the-olympics-the-party-is-pleased/ | 2017-06-29T09:05:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323895.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629084615-20170629104615-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.912984 | 1,073 | [

Steve Jobs has delivered his speech during the iPhone 4 conference and certainly gave us some interesting things to think about, which you can read more about in a later article. The most that we got from this last minute event was a free Bumper and a refund to those who have already purchased one.
The free Bumper only applies to an iPhone 4 that has been purchased before September 30th. The reason for the cut-off date is because Apple hopes to offer another solution by then.
Apple Insider noted that Steve Jobs said that they were unable to make Bumpers quick enough, so have made the decision to team up with third parties to help take the load off. The positive side to this is that users will now get more choice.
Those who own an iPhone 4 will be able to register for their free Bumper next week, and remember you can still return your iPhone within 30 days if you are not happy for a full refund. | <urn:uuid:030c68b4-20d3-4471-bcc7-2bb41ab5b0b5> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.product-reviews.net/2010/07/16/apple-iphone-4-free-bumper-and-refund/ | 2017-06-23T01:52:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319943.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623012730-20170623032730-00515.warc.gz | en | 0.988057 | 191 | [

Oh, that we had a crystal ball to foresee the future of the American jobs market.
Luckily, the good folks over at the Pew Research Center have surveyed and collated the ideas and trends of the past several decades, into a recently released report, “The State Of American Jobs.” Pew has also released an analysis of government jobs data, and together, they present the likely directions of the American workforce.
Here’s what stood out to us:
Skills, Training and Development Are The New Paradigm
More than half (54%) of adults in the workforce say that it will be essential for them to get training and develop new skills throughout their work life to keep up with job changes. Some 45% of employed adults report they have pursued extra training to maintain or improve their job skills in the past year.
As a recruiter, or a company trying to garner the best candidates, further training opportunities are an attractive way to sweeten the deal. The majority of American workers say they will need continuous training to keep up with changes in the workplace, and recognize that retraining and upgrading their skills needs to be a lifetime commitment. Soon, skill acquisition could be more akin to up-levelling in a video game, or gaining scout badges: achievement unlocked.
The truth is, the number of jobs requiring a higher level of education or training has been steadily on the rise. In 2015, around 83 million Americans worked in jobs requiring an average or above average level of preparation (including education, experience, and job training). That’s a 68% increase from 49 million in 1980. To give you a comparison, for positions requiring a below average level of job preparation in the same time period, the increase was (just a third) 31%, with just 65 million people in lower preparation positions last year.
So Where Is The Growth?
“When people think about what it takes for workers to be successful these days, large majorities rank a mixture of technical and “soft skills” as critical…”
-Pew Research Center “The State of American Jobs”
Both employment and wages have increased most in occupations that require higher social or analytical skills. Between 1980 and 2015, employment grew by 50% across all occupations, however, for jobs that require average or above average social skills like interpersonal, management and communication skills, the growth was a huge 83%. For positions that require higher levels of analytical skills like critical thinking and computer skills, the growth was 77%. As a stark contrast, employment depending more on physical skills like manual labor or machinery operation grew by just 18%.
These changes highlight the rise of a service-oriented and knowledge-based economy: employment growth in the educational services, health care and social assistance sectors led the way, growing 105% and 99% respectively between 1990 and 2015.
The Looming Threats
Interestingly, while most people (80%) say that increased outsourcing of jobs to other countries hurts American workers, people were less concerned about the threat of automation. In fact, the majority surveyed see that the increased use of the internet and other technology in the workplace are helpful to American workers.
Coupled with the high growth areas of social skills, analytics, critical thinking and computer skills and a new picture of the future of work in America emerges. A highly trained, rapidly developing job market that focusses on innovation is the general trend – and American workers know it.
“The vast majority of U.S. workers say that new skills and training may hold the key to their future job success.”
-Pew Research Center “The State of American Jobs.”
Is More College The Answer?
While college enrollments are at an all-time high, 57% of Americans say the higher education system in the US fails to provide students with good value for money. 75% say college is too expensive for most Americans to afford. An overwhelming majority of college graduates—86%—say that college has been a good investment for them personally.
But knowing that retraining and upskilling constantly is paramount to staying employed and relevant in your industry, is college the guarantee it used to be?
Millennials complain about needing a masters degree and a hefty college debt to get an entry level position. Would on the job training provide a more targeted approach – and potentially a better fit?
David K Williams is the CEO of data analytics company, Fishbowl. In his book, The 7 Non-Negotiables of Winning: Tying Soft Traits to Hard Results he outlines why personality traits matter far more than college degrees, or even previous employment experience.
“I get excited when I meet someone with drive and a lot of raw talent. They’re usually not excellent at just one thing and don’t have a lot of experience at first, but it’s always fun to see all the ways they influence the entire organization for good over the years.,” he writes. “They have a contagious work ethic, “you betcha” attitude, and commitment to a greater cause than their own gratification.”
As the gateway to finding and hiring that raw talent, our opportunity can be in recognizing the skills in a candidate, rather than the way they achieved them. If a self-taught programmer had the ambition to conquer an array of new software through the love of coding, are they any less qualified than an Ivy League educated software engineer? If anything, do they have better skills and motivation than a candidate that didn’t have to hustle as hard?
As we recruit for company growth, hiring for potential, flexibility and fast learning are very clearly the future. Let’s keep those figures in mind lest we are left behind with the old guard. | <urn:uuid:31c906e1-9954-481b-9e51-0e340a7bd5d4> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://blog.1-page.com/new-study-shows-retraining/ | 2017-06-23T20:38:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320174.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623202724-20170623222724-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.958334 | 1,186 | [

And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
— Mark 12:17a (KJV)
First Evangelical Reformed Church (“FERC” or “the Church”) recognises the importance of safeguarding personal data when dealing with information relating to its members, worshippers at its services, attendees of its programs, visitors and staff, and therefore is committed to fully implementing and complying with the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Act (the “Act”). FERC’s Personal Data Protection Policy set out here explains the procedures and systems in place to comply with the Act (the “Policy”) in respect of personal data as defined under the Act.
The personal data that FERC may collect, use, and disclose includes the following:
Purposes for the Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Data
FERC receives or collects the personal data of its members, worshippers at its services, attendees of its activities and programs, visitors and staff for purposes reasonably required by it as a place of worship with its attendant activities and programs.
These purposes include the following, whether within or outside Singapore:
FERC will not use the personal data for any purpose other than that for which it was collected. Should FERC require any personal data in its possession to be used for a purpose other than those for which consent was originally given, fresh consent will be sought to use the data for that new purpose.
In the course of processing personal data for the above purposes, FERC may disclose such personal data to third parties within or outside Singapore. These third parties include:
Disclosure to third parties outside Singapore shall only be to organisations that are required or undertake to process the data with a comparable level of data protection as that required under Singapore law.
Minors below 13
FERC will not collect, use or disclose the personal data of persons below the age of thirteen (13) for any purpose unless written parental or guardian consent has been given for such purpose.
Withdrawal of consent
Should an individual wish to withdraw or limit his/her consent to FERC’s collection, use and disclosure of his/her personal data, they can write in with full particulars to our Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) using the contact details provided in paragraph 20 below.
Any personal data collected by FERC shall be accessible by office bearers, employees, and members of FERC who are engaged in the planning and implementation of Church activities or the management and administration of the Church. Such persons are to use the data only for the purpose for which the data was collected. Such persons shall also observe strict confidentiality at all times.
In the event personal data is disclosed to third parties, such third parties will be required to sign an agreement requiring them to observe confidentiality at all times and to use the personal data only for the purpose for which it was disclosed to them.
Data Protection Officer
FERC has designated a DPO to deal with data protection matters and complaints, to encourage good data handling practices, and to ensure that FERC complies with the Act and the Policy. If an individual has any questions, complaints or concerns, they can contact the DPO using the contact details provided in paragraph 19 below.
FERC endeavours to take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data in its possession or under its control is accurate, up-to-date, and complete. If there is any error or omission in the personal data you have provided to FERC, please write in to our DPO with the necessary details to correct your data. If any personal data that you have provided to FERC becomes inaccurate, please contact our DPO to update your data.
Should you wish to access any personal data collected by FERC or understand how such data has been used or disclosed, please write in to our DPO with your request. The DPO will provide you with the requested information within a reasonable time, after verification of your identity. Kindly note that FERC reserves the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for responding to any such requests.
FERC will retain personal data for as long as it is necessary to serve the purpose for which it has been collected. Once the data in FERC’s possession is no longer necessary to serve the purpose for which it was collected, the data will be destroyed or anonymised in a secure manner.
FERC endeavours to maintain all personal data in its possession or under its control securely. To this effect, FERC has put in place measures to ensure the protection of data in its possession against unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or other risks.
FERC shall not transfer any personal data in its possession to any parties outside Singapore except as specified in this Policy. Any outside party to which FERC intends to transfer data in its possession must have protections equivalent to those provided for in the Act.
If an individual feels that his data has been erroneously or improperly handled by FERC, he may lodge a complaint in writing with the DPO. Once a complaint has been received, the DPO will acknowledge receipt of the same in writing, and will investigate the complaint.
The outcome of the investigation will be communicated by the DPO to the complainant in writing.
FERC is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of its members, worshippers at its services, attendees of its programs, visitors and staff. For matters pertaining to data protection in FERC, the DPO may be contacted via the following means:
First Evangelical Reformed Church
652 Yio Chu Kang Road

I've almost finished updating one of Yoko's boots. I need to take it in a bit at the top of the foot and then patch up the sole. I completely re-did the zipper, it was too thin and made the boot too tight. I'm freaking out a little, AoD is just over a week away and I still have to fix the other boot and finish the jacket and rifle.
I did some test painting on cardboard and foam scraps, and I found that I already have a sealant that I can use on my rifle. It will make it shiny and waterproof (to a point). It wouldn't be able to survive a downpour or being dunked in a pool, but it's better than it just being acrylic paint over cardboard.
The rifle needs some parts added to it. It should be pretty simple, I just haven't done it because I feel like i need to focus on the boots, which are far more important because if I don't finish them, I won't be able to cosplay Yoko to AoD at all. If I don't finish the rifle or jacket, yes I'll be disappointed, but at least I'll have something to wear. I also need to fix up the yellow and black stripes on the butt of the rifle, they're just really messy right now. The jacket only needs some gold metal-looking bits added onto it and it'll be finished.
The belt fell apart a little bit, I used the wrong glue, but that's a quick fix. I also need to iron the shorts and put belt loops on them. | <urn:uuid:651eaf99-b629-49b8-8fe1-980c72d40e99> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://cosplaylife.blogspot.com/2012/02/boot-updates-734-737.html | 2017-06-27T01:54:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320887.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627013832-20170627033832-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.984878 | 326 | [

A trade show is a great opportunity to show off your company and attract new customers and business partners. However, designing a booth for the show can be a deceptively simple task; without knowing some basic tips, it can be easy to design a booth that doesn't stand out from the pack. In order to create a booth that people will remember, use these tips.
Use Words Sparingly
Of course, your signs, posters and other materials are likely to contain a multitude of words to explain who you are and what your company does. You may feel you're brimming with ideas and information to share with people, but be aware that if people approach your booth and see a wall of text, that can be overwhelming to them.
Instead of writing too many lists and including too much information, stop and think about what you really want people to know. Focus a few key points that you can illuminate with your booth materials. For example, if you are a lawyer, you may want to include information about every single one of your services and accolades. However, focusing on a few can be more effective and easier on the eyes for people who are walking past a lot of booths and are being hit with a ton of information.
Use Physical Space
You may be focused on the table when designing your booth, but keep in mind that you'll usually have some space behind and to the side of the table that you can also use. Your first impulse may be to hang a company sign in back of the table, which can be a fine idea, but you might want to add other pieces to create a particular ambiance. Lighting, fabric screens, room dividers and other tools can help you separate yourself from others visually and help people take notice.
Have a Takeaway
Designing a booth should always include the takeaway that you're planning to give out to people who visit your booth. This can often be the most important part of booth design, as it is the part that will follow customers home and remind them of your business days after the trade show is over. Typically, an item that you know your customers use often will make your takeaway an essential item. For instance, many companies give out mugs, but pens and other office supplies may work too.
With this information, you'll be able to design a booth that people are going to respond to. Consult a trade show design agency nearby that can provide professional pointers and assistance so that you can be sure to wow everyone at the show. | <urn:uuid:e3e86523-51f0-4b4a-9888-ed4ebba1c92e> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://kirlianlab.com/2017/05/15/designing-an-booth-for-a-local-trade-show-remember-these-tips/ | 2017-06-27T01:59:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320887.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627013832-20170627033832-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.965859 | 507 | [

Reimagining Development 3.0 for a Changing Planet
IDS Working Paper 435
Download this publication (305kb)
This working paper argues we need to reimagine development tactics to fashion Development 3.0, to match what business analysts now call World 3.0, a global system characterized by high turbulence and new threats.
It begins by contrasting our former classification of countries spatially into First, Second and Third worlds with a new division of development epochs in sequence since the end of World War II. World 1.0 emphasized industrialization, urbanization, and modernization, lasting from 1945 to 1980. World 2.0 emphasized global trade, and a shift to private actors doing the work of development, from 1980 to the early 2000s. World 3.0 can be seen as superceding globalization by concern with emergent threats. World 1.0 privileged state actions to accelerate “nation building” within former colonies, whereas World 2.0 privileged private capital and free trade as engines for economic growth. Now, following wars, disasters, and the near meltdown of the global financial system in 2007/08, we enter World 3.0 as depicted by Ghemawat and others. We review thirteen major changes not recognized within World 2.0 or its accompanying Development 2.0 regime.
The major changes include the rise of homeless capital, the Conservative counter-revolution of the 1980s, the implosion of the USSR, rise of modern China, emergence of BRIC nations, a pan-urban world, rise of identity politics, reemergence of Africa, shift to non-state warfare, growing threat of climate change, MENA nations experience Arab Spring, digital worlds expand, and velocity increases. They suggest coming turbulence and unexpected outcomes, or “mashups” (Ramo).
These changes suggest a different emergent system, becoming World 3.0 which has profound differences from how we view our planet’s political economy (World 2.0). If so, the paper outlines implications which suggest the time has come to “take on board” our changed planetary circumstances, and thus begin crafting Development 3.0. “Where the wild things are”, introduces metaphors to change the ‘meta-narratives’ used for viewing World 3.0: “herding elephants,” “taming feral capital”, “swimming with tides” and “avoiding mashups”.
They help us realize that long recognized problems (or “elephants”) may show unexpected behaviors to pose new threats within World 3.0. The main argument of the paper then lays out a baker’s dozen changes needed if we hope to fashion more effective ways to promote development for us all. We must “rebalance society” (ala Mintzberg), refashion aid, privilege sustainability, emphasize fair trade, tame feral capital, devise better metrics, include all nations & peoples, seat G-20 not G-8, recognize semi-sovereigns, focus on a pan-urban world, build coalitions in networks, involve women & youth, and rebuild community leadership. All of which assumes we can offset a strong tide towards return to the excesses of World 2.0. | <urn:uuid:d0c1ced7-3809-4e11-a1c9-5f5a0cda391b> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.ids.ac.uk/publication/reimagining-development-3-0-for-a-changing-planet | 2017-06-27T01:56:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320887.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627013832-20170627033832-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.892301 | 675 | [

Classical Indian dance forms such as Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi dance have become very popular in recent years, largely because of the growing influence of the prosperous Indian diaspora in the in the West, especially in the United States, Australia and the UK.
Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi dance are today considered to be the purest artistic symbolization of the Indian identity, and of the 5,000 year old culture and heritage of the ancient land. These dance forms are practiced and performed by hundreds of thousands of girls and young women in India and abroad.
Dance Arangetram is the most important performance that a young Bharatnatyam or Kuchipudi dancer would make in her dancing career. Arangetram is a Tamil term that is used to refer to a young dancer’s debut performance. It is derived from the Tamil words, Arangam and Erru, which mean “to ascend the stage”.
All dance forms in India have their own version of Arangetram. A debut performance by a Kathak dancer is called as a rangapravesh, while that of an Odissi dancer is called as an arangmanchpravesh.
Dance Arangetram has become so important these days that elaborate ceremonies are organized by the parents of the young dancer around the performance of this event.
Within Bharatnatyam, the tradition of Arangetram finds its first reference in the historic Tamil text, Cilappatikaram, which dates back to the 2nd century CE. The text follows the life and times of a young dancer of that time, Matavi and describes her Arangetram in detail.
Scholars such as Saskia Kersenboom and Leslie Orr have discussed the historical significance of Bharatnatyam and Arangetram in detail, in the context of the old devadasi system (which was subsequently banned).
Back in those days, Arangetram was a formal system of introducing a dancer to her royal patrons, to asses her quality and to establish a connection between the temple, where she was trained and the court, where she would be favored with monetary benefits and other incentives.
Later, in the first half of the 20th century, the Arangetram was performed by professional dancers in theatres, where they would be judged by a live audience comprising of Brahmins and other members of the privileged upper class. This performance held an economic significance for the dancers as it could make or break their career in dance.
Since the 1970s and 1980s, when the Indian diaspora spread to the United States and Europe, the Arangetram was still performed, but for different reasons. It was performed by young women who practiced the Bharatnatyam and Kuchipudi dance as a hobby and to maintain their ties with the Indian culture– not because they had any interest in becoming professional dancers.
Like Bat Mitzvah, a religious “coming of age” ceremony for Jewish girls, the Dance Arangetram became a part of growing up for girls of Indian origin. The audience for the performance is comprised of friends and family and not by the paying public. So the dance is performed in a friendly and encouraging environment, and there is no pressure as such as to perform.
This is unlike performing before an audience of dance teachers, connoisseurs, teachers and critics, where there is a real chance of the dancer being unable to impress and failing in her first performance.
Following the end of the dance, the dance teacher or the guru is honored for their role in training the young dancer. Most young dancers perform a solo margam and display the full extent of their Bharatanatyam or Kuchipudi repertoire during the debut dance. For many, it is the most wonderful experience of their life, something they would treasure forever. | <urn:uuid:367b5e81-c0d1-451d-8bef-646af8178fc6> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://arangetramsblog.wordpress.com/2017/02/ | 2017-06-27T01:43:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320887.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627013832-20170627033832-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.97117 | 814 | [

Malware researcher and analyst Dancho Danchev has discovered what appears to be an upgraded version of a previously unknown commercially available malware platform.
The package comes complete with “DNS Changer, Loaders, Injects, and Ransomware features,” that can be used to deny a target’s access to the Internet, and promises to deliver modules for “stealth VNC, and Remote IE,” which could allow attackers to “hijack any sort of encrypted session.”
“With prices for the standard package starting from $1,500, I expect that the malware bot will quickly gain market share thanks to its compatibility with existing/working crimeware concepts/releases, as well as thanks to the general availability of 24/7/365 managed malware crypting services, applying the necessary degree of QA (Quality Assurance) to a potential campaign before launching it,” Danchev writes.
“Moreover, yet another factor that would greatly contribute to the success of such type of newly released platforms is the the ease of acquisition of legitimate traffic — think blackhat SEO, compromised FTP accounts, or mass SQL injection campaigns — to be later on converted into malware-infected hosts, most commonly through social engineering, or the client-side exploitation of outdated and already patched vulnerabilities in browser plugins/third-party applications.”

Whenever you are looking forward to but the new vehicle as well as the arrangement of the finance you have to made, you just want to walk into the showroom of Hyundai dealer and fulfill all your dreams. | <urn:uuid:7fd76dc9-0f04-46f6-954e-f2b97da8c194> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.getindi.com/ | 2017-06-27T20:35:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321553.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627203405-20170627223405-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.981113 | 441 | [

I don't know how many players there are normally on Halo PC but on Custom Edition there is a toon of them, so i would suggest moving to CE.
Or you know, you could just get them from the official source that also contains the lua script from this thread :D

Working on making a biped with as many halo reach permutations as possible. at the moment i'm at 45 perms. what do you think? (still needs a lot of polish though).
Welp normally when you see a user with a tf2 avatar on the internet is always a 8 - 12 years old kid.

Your using a shortcut, use tool.exe directly instead. (It has to do with account permisions as Alex said before)
That doesn't explain why it was working perfectly fine for 2 years until now though.
oh i forgot to say that i'm already running everything as administrator. But don't worry tool randomly started to work again lol idk how or why o_O
So today i was working on my stuff as normal, and for some reason tool doesn't compile maps anymore, every time i try it gets stuck at:
I've waited for like 30 mins now and nothing happens (i already tried restarting my PC, and i also tried using OS tool but nothing) plz help.

Yo kids, i "apparently" gave up with HEK so i think you should too! Maybe move to halo online? :D
it also screws ".effect" tags making all the instances on the "particles" block use the same marker (usually the first marker).
- Hek+ has to be run with windows on a basic theme otherwise it just won't work (at least on w7), that's annoying as hell.

The problem is that you're missing the file "normal.gbxmodel". here, i uploaded the file (its from the stock tagset that you get when you install hek)
just extract it in "Halo Custom Edition/tags/ui/"
Edited by Kinnet on Apr 3, 2017 at 06:58 PM
Q: Why should we use this tagset over the official CMT one ?

Hey guys for once I'm having a non-mod related issue...
I've followed the tutorials, done the paths and all that but regardless of me pressing the keys to take a screenshot in CE, I'm assuming something isn't right since the screenshot folder remains empty...
Anyone ever have this issue and fix it?
Alternative: Is there a program for taking screenshots or recording floating around out there?

Also modified the active camo values to make you less visible.
Why would i get this mod if it makes it more harder for me to see my enemies with camo meanwhile they can see me perfectly well with the default map ? #PayToLose
So i was wondering this, also i believe OS increases the maximum amount of bones allowed on a single biped ?.

Any ideas how that was archived? It's a vehicle? it's another biped?

Flattering Hairstyles for Round Faces 2015

Slick and smooth is what this long hairstyle is about. The length and layers are blow-dried smooth showing off the jagged cut layers through the sides and back allowing the lighter colors to seep through the darker. This look is perfect for any occasion and will need regular trims every 4-6 weeks to prevent split ends. | <urn:uuid:db867290-4c08-468a-a93b-9a6b3a5be771> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://www.pinterest.pt/pin/486740672202802810/ | 2017-06-28T15:53:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323711.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628153051-20170628173051-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.926413 | 128 | [

Reverend Gary Davis
Reverend Gary Davis
Reverend Gary Davis, also Blind Gary Davis, (April 30, 1896 – May 5, 1972) was an American blues and gospel singer and guitarist, who was also proficient on the banjo and harmonica. His finger-picking guitar style influenced many other artists and his students in New York included Stefan Grossman, David Bromberg, Roy Book Binder, Larry Johnson, Woody Mann, Nick Katzman, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Winslow, and Ernie Hawkins. He has influenced Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, Jackson Browne, Townes van Zandt, Wizz Jones, Jorma Kaukonen, Keb’ Mo’, Ollabelle, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, and Resurrection Band.
Gary Davis was born in Laurens, South Carolina, and was the only one of eight children his mother bore who survived to adulthood. He became blind as an infant. Davis reported that his father was killed in Birmingham, Alabama, when Davis was ten, and Davis later said that he had been told that his father had been shot by the Birmingham High Sheriff. He recalled being poorly treated by his mother and that before his death his father had given him into the care of his paternal grandmother.
He took to the guitar and assumed a unique multi-voice style produced solely with his thumb and index finger, playing not only ragtime and blues tunes, but also traditional and original tunes in four-part harmony.
In the mid-1920s, Davis migrated to Durham,North Carolina, a major center for black cultureat the time. There he collaborated with a number of other artists in the Piedmont bluesscene including Blind Boy Fuller and Bull City Red. In 1935, J. B. Long, a store manager with a reputation for supporting local artists, introduced Davis, Fuller and Red to the American Record Company. The subsequent recording sessions marked the real beginning of Davis’ career. During his time in Durham, Davis converted to Christianity; he would later become ordained as a Baptist minister. Following his conversion and especially his ordination, Davis began to express a preference for inspirational gospel music.
In the 1940s, the blues scene in Durham began to decline and Davis migrated to New York. In 1951, well before his ‘rediscovery’, Davis’s oral history was recorded by Elizabeth Lyttleton Harold (the wife of Alan Lomax) who transcribed their conversations into a 300+-page typescript.
The folk revival of the 1960s re-invigorated Davis’ career, culminating in a performance at the Newport Folk Festival and the recording by Peter, Paul and Mary of “Samson and Delilah“, also known as “If I Had My Way”, originally a Blind Willie Johnson recording that Davis had popularized. | <urn:uuid:09c6c5c3-aa92-4ec7-8bd8-ac1801cf5045> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://purehistory.org/reverend-gary-davis/ | 2017-06-29T10:53:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323908.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629103036-20170629123036-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.981682 | 589 | [

Damn you GRR for having the the power to break my heart time and time again! Damn you for making me forget all my deadlines once I start reading your damn books. Damn you for making me fall in love with honorable characters who absolutely DO NOT deserve what they get. This is a reread, what else can I say? I loved it the first time, and I loved it again the second time.
For those who do not know, A Game of Thrones is an ongoing fantasy series. But its not really fantasy. The Kingdom of Westeros were once different kingdoms, but were brought together by the Targaryen who invaded from Old Valyria using their powerful dragons. But that was ancient history and Westeros is now ruled by King Robert Baratheon, who, along with Ned Stark, overthrew the mad King, last Targaryen to rule the Kingdom.
The main story follows Ned Stark and his family as his life changes from being Lord or Winterfell, the farflung and northernmost province of the Kingdom, to becoming the King's Hand. There are also other storylines as well of different characters.
The book is complex, and truly epic in scope. It is gritty, and as realistic as a fantasy novel can be. It is NOT black and white. It is shocking and heartbreaking. It's really great. | <urn:uuid:9ba24a52-f7d2-4563-9214-090049a1de49> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://cannonballercara.blogspot.com/2011/04/17-game-of-thrones-by-grr-martin.html | 2017-06-23T05:15:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320003.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623045423-20170623065423-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.974833 | 273 | [

Today, District Court Judge Jerry Wiese ruled against Clark County in denying a quick conclusion to its lawsuit against Save Red Rock. Judge Wiese, however, denied Save Red Rock a quick dismissal on anti-SLAPP grounds. For the time being, the two sides will continue to fight in court over the future of a plot of land bordering Red Rock Canyon.
Save Red Rock’s ability to speak against the proposed development at Clark County Government Center was at stake today. According to Save Red Rock’s Heather Fisher, “We’re fighting for the right to be heard.”
What was she talking about? Nevada has an anti-SLAPP law. This prevents individuals or organizations from using what’s called a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (or SLAPP suit) to silence someone speaking in a way they don’t like. The Nevada Legislature originally passed the anti-SLAPP law in 2009 and dramatically expanded it in 2013. Free speech advocates then fought back a Steve Wynn funded effort to weaken the law in 2015.
“They are chilling speech, chilling First Amendment rights, by trying to silence Save Red Rock,” exclaimed Former State Senator Justin Jones, now an attorney working on behalf of Save Red Rock.
Clark County has claimed this suit is not about silencing anyone wishing to speak during public comment, but instead determining how the County Commission’s previous approval of development for Blue Diamond Hill affects Gypsum Resources’ current plan to build about 5,000 homes at a former gypsum mine that borders Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (NCA). But in court today, Jones produced documents showing Clark County has already declared the 2011 plan expired.
In a mixed bag for both sides, Judge Wiese dismissed Clark County’s motion for summary judgment (which is normally reserved for the end of trial) on the 2011 plan along with Save Red Rock’s motion to dismiss the entire suit on SLAPP grounds. However, Save Red Rock and allied environmental groups seemed more pleased with today’s outcome. Justin Jones cited Wiese’s statement from the bench on the public’s right to speak out at government hearings when he declared, “[Judge Wiese] understands the code and state statute require the right to petition the government.”
The clearer victory for environmentalists was Judge Wiese’s denial of Clark County’s request for summary judgment on the matter of the 2011 Blue Diamond Hill plan.
After Wiese denied without prejudice Clark County’s claim that a proposal the county itself had declared expired wasn’t actually expired, the Nevada Conservation League’s Vinny Spotleson said the Clark County Commission has no further excuses to make a decision this month on the very similar Blue Diamond Hill development plan that’s active now. “The County Commission has the choice to approve or deny this new small city to be built.”
When asked why Save Red Rock is fighting against this development plan, Heather Fisher spoke of the threat “This borders the NCA. When the developer says it’s not in Red Rock, he fails to mention [it borders park land].” Jim Rhodes, the famed real estate developer who controls Gypsum Resources, wants higher density residential zoning for Blue Diamond Hill. If approved, Fisher fears nearby landowners will move forward with their own plans to build suburban communities in what’s traditionally been a more rural community.
As Clark County’s lawsuit drags on in court, the fight over Blue Diamond Hill moves to the Clark County Commission as its February 22 decision date nears. Stay tuned at Nevada Forward for ongoing Red Rock Canyon coverage. | <urn:uuid:abad6728-4c8d-4ade-8b1d-ca3aefa5b157> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://nevadaforward.com/2017/02/09/save-red-rock-clark-county-face-off-court/?utm_content=buffer8c3d4&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer | 2017-06-23T05:16:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320003.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623045423-20170623065423-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.930395 | 768 | [

The internet service provider (ISP) cut off access to Newzbin2 on 13 December following the court order. It is the second UK ISP to block Newzbin2 after a High Court ruling earlier this year forced BT to deploy filtering technology to prevent its customers accessing the site.
Newzbin2 is a members-only site which collates links to a large amount of illegally-copied material including films, music and computer games, found on Usenet discussion forums.
"We have received a court order requiring us to block access to this illegal website, which we did on 13th December, 2011," Sky said in a statement.
"As and when clear and legally robust evidence of copyright theft is presented, we will take appropriate action in respect to site blocking, which will include complying with court orders," the ISP said.
In July the High Court ordered BT to prevent its customers accessing Newzbin2. In October, following further court hearings involving the ISP and the Motion Picture Association (MPA), the Court ordered BT to use its 'Cleanfeed' filtering technology to "block or attempt to block" its customers' access to Newzbin2.
The MPA, representing six major film studios, had requested the action under Section 97A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act. That Act gives UK courts the power to grant an injunction against an ISP if it had 'actual knowledge' that someone had used its service to infringe copyright.
The operators of Newzbin2 have previously claimed that they have developed software to enable BT customers to circumvent the Cleanfeed system.
In November the MPA contacted TalkTalk, Virgin Media and Sky requesting that the three ISPs also block access to Newzbin2, but both TalkTalk and Virgin told Out-Law.com that they would only act if ordered to do so by a court. Neither TalkTalk nor Virgin has subsequently received court orders to block Newzbin2, according to a report by ZDNet. | <urn:uuid:1bb0d676-1a68-49fc-b9d9-4fc76c3610e4> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://www.out-law.com/en/articles/2011/december/sky-follows-bt-in-blocking-newzbin2/ | 2017-06-23T05:14:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320003.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623045423-20170623065423-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.965369 | 408 | [

Forgive Bermudians for questioning the existence of a hurricane drought.
Claims of a ‘hurricane drought’ are based on an arbitrary focus on wind speed while ignoring storm pressure, power, and damage
The focus will be: “Where have all the US landfalling hurricanes gone?”
New research on coastal sediments, funded in part by BIOS’s Risk Prediction Initiative, shows that prehistoric hurricanes along the northern East Coast of the United States were likely more frequent and intense than those that have hit within recorded history.
AIR Worldwide recently joins The Risk Prediction Initiative 2.0 (RPI2.0).
Dr Mark Guishard, Program Manager of RPI2.0, is to join the panellists at a roundtable discussion about lessons learnt from last month’s storms.
An oceanographer is deploying an undersea glider to take measurements during the Category 3 storm, which is expected to hit Bermuda. Hopefully, the rare underwater perspective will yield insights that can be used to develop forecasting models.
An underwater glider will examine the impact of hurricanes on our ocean.
While most items are being tied down in Bermuda this week as Hurricane Gonzalo takes aim at the island, a yellow undersea glider named “Anna” will swim straight into the storm.
Scientists and insurance industry experts will come together to discuss the issue of flood risk at a seminar hosted by BIOS and BII.
A former BIOS scientist and current trustee aims to link the academic world and Island business to better predict disasters.
The Montpelier Re Foundation has awarded scholarships worth a combined $15,000 to two Bermudian students, including Meteorology student Michael Cavin Johnston, intern with the Risk Prediction Initiative at BIOS.
BIOS adds to research fleet capabilities with new glider
The Bermuda Insurance Institute (BII) and the Risk Prediction Initiative (RPI) at BIOS will be collaborating to provide a day and a half seminar focused on Catastrophe Risk.
RPI2.0 this week announced the third round of its Seasonal US Hurricane Landfall Forecasting competition, citing the potential predictive skill of ‘crowd-intelligence’.
The Risk Prediction Initiative (RPI2.0) recently welcomed Dr. Mark Guishard as its new Science Program Manager.
In a nod to the value of crowdsourcing as an effective forecasting method, the Risk Prediction Initiative (RPI2.0) announces the start of its seasonal forecast competition, in which participants can win up to $5000. | <urn:uuid:6f693cd5-3a66-4d56-a9a7-1db5869430a4> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://bios.edu/news/category/risk-prediction-initiative | 2017-06-24T00:01:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320206.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623235306-20170624015306-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.928051 | 523 | [

Exploring Pascal's Triangle
Patterns in Color
is an arithmetical triangle made up of staggered rows of numbers. Many patterns in the number
array can be seen more clearly using colors.
Applet by Multimedia Java Applications (MJA)
- Click on the "num on/off" button to show the numbers of Pascal's Triangle.
- To select a color, click on one of the 10 buttons below the triangle.
After you have done this, to color a hexagon click once inside it.
- Color each cell that contains an odd number.
- Click on the "num on/off" button to remove the numbers.
- The numbers in the cells of Pascal's triangle
are generated by adding two cells. With the numbers turned off you can see the pattern in the red and white cells.
- Notice that whenever two red cells are adjacent, the cell below is white. Can you explain why? Similarly, when two white cells are adjacent, the cell below is white. Can you explain why?
- Also notice that when one red cell and one white cell are adjacent, the cell below will be red. Do you think that this pattern will continue as you color more rows?
- The hexagon side length and number of rows can be adjusted using the "Side" and "Rows"
buttons. To see more than 11 rows, select 8 from the Side (pixels) menu above the triangle. Continue to color rows
to see whether the pattern will continue.
What can be learned?
- The operation of addition is commutative. Notice the symmetry in each row.
- The sum of two odd numbers will always be even. Two adjacent
red cells have a white cell below.
- The sum of two even numbers will always be even. Two adjacent
white cells have a white cell below.
- The sum of an odd number and an even number will always be odd. A red cell adjacent
to a white cell will have a red cell below.

Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulae (dAVFs) are typified by pathological anastomoses between meningeal arteries and dural venous sinuses or cortical veins. These fistulae frequently reside within the dural leaflets surrounding a venous sinus, characteristically at the transverse-sigmoid junction but also at the cavernous sinus (CS), superior sagittal sinus, anterior cranial fossa, tentorium, and other locations. dAVFs are distinguished from their pial counterparts (eg, arteriovenous malformations) by their arterial supply from vessels that perfuse the dura mater and lack of a parenchymal nidus.1 dAVFs are rare lesions, accounting for 10% to 15% of all intracranial vascular malformations: 6% of supratentorial and 35% of infratentorial vascular malformations.2 Most frequently, dAVFs affect patients in their middle-to-later years of life (eg, 50–60 years of age).3 Less commonly, dAVFs occur in younger age groups, including children. There is neither a clear sex predilection nor genetic component to these lesions. Clinical manifestations vary widely and depend on both the hemodynamic properties and location of the fistula. Multiple classification systems have been proposed in an effort to predict which dAVFs are at high risk for new neurological events. Most of these schemes stratify risk based on angiographic appearance of the dAVFs, in particular involvement of a venous sinus and presence or absence of retrograde cortical venous drainage (CVD). Other schemes combine angiographic appearance with mode of presentation, given the impact symptoms related to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and nonhemorrhagic neurological deficits (NHND) have on dAVF natural history.4–6
In the following review and synthesis, the authors describe the pathophysiology, classification, mode of presentation, imaging characteristics, natural history, and therapeutic armamentarium for intracranial dAVFs. Particular attention will be given to recent evidence that certain clinical and angiographic features of dAVFs can be used to help stratify risk of future ICH and NHND in an effort … | <urn:uuid:d214d5f8-ad19-4d71-9ee0-c80faaadeb6d> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://stroke.ahajournals.org/content/48/5/1424 | 2017-06-24T00:17:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320206.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623235306-20170624015306-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.857083 | 554 | [
