The Leeds branch of the Unite Against Fascism action group are always happy to speak with anybody about what they do. Their branch meetings around the area may be small but have been growing in popularity in recent months, and protests led by the UAF often call in more than a thousand supporters. On the 31st October, 2009, LUAF held a protest outside Leeds art gallery to oppose the EDL (England Defence League) who were holding a protest of their own on City Square, against, in their own words, "Islamic Extremism in Britain". Although trouble in Leeds remained at a minimum throughout the day, tensions were high, and the opposing ideologies protesting in such a small area as central Leeds stood to highlight the growing separation between political beliefs in the North.
Janine Griffiths is a leading member of Leeds Unite Against Fascism, and over a cup of tea in a pleasant city cafe she answered a few of my questions about the increasing popularity of both her beliefs and those opposing them since I last spoke to her before the European elections, as well as addressing some issues that the UAF have raised in the press.
Since the BNP won seats in West Yorkshire during the European elections, have you seen any changes in the attitude towards them in this area?
Not particularly in this area, I think there's been a national change in attitude towards the BNP which I think is quite unfortunate. Since they won seats in the European election they have been invited on Question Time, and I think that's really helped to boost their image. I can't remember the exact figure, but I know that Nick Griffin did boast that there had been an increase in interest in their party since they were shown on the BBC.
Do you think the BBC were wrong to let Nick Griffin air his views on National television?
I think they were absolutely wrong, many people say that they're just exercising their democratic rights, but the truth is they've already been allowed to share their views in newspapers, why should they get more of a hearing than, say, the green party?
Did anyone from the Leeds UAF group attend the protests outside the BBC?
A few of the people from Leeds did go down to the protests at the BBC, because at the end of the day, they've got a convicted criminals as part of their party. They're treated as a credible party, but really, they're not.
Do you think sometimes the UAFs tactics can be counter-productive towards their cause?
No, not at all. There probably have been a few incidents where people have jumped on the UAF bandwagon and have started trouble, but you get that in almost any protest. The UAF as an organisation want to counter the BNP. Sometimes the advice from other parties is "ignore [the UAF], don't attend the marches" and this year the police did advise people not to attend the marches, but to be honest I think the UAF has done a lot of work to try and get them [the BNP] out.
Was the storming of television centre a PR coup or a PR disaster?
I think it was more a PR disaster. I think anything the UAF do is going to be a PR disaster because we are seen as the extreme left, which we're not really. We don't want a – not an openly-fascist but certainly a racist party - parading round and gaining power.
What are your opinions on why the North seems to hold the most support for the BNP? Why did Nick Griffin claim that had the Question Time he appeared in been filmed in a northern town, he'd have had a lot more support?
First of all I think the North has more traditionally run-down working class areas, and not a lot of money is being pumped into them. It's fairly easy for the BNP to then whip up paranoia in the people who live there. Secondly, you also get here the petit-bourgeois members of society – they're not rich but they're in a position where they've got businesses and they are feeling the effects of the recession, and recent polls have shown that the vast majority of the BNPs followers come from these types of people.
Have you got any thoughts, on the instability that's been reported within the BNP since Nick Griffin's quite disastrous the BBC QT appearance?
It depends, really, on their future performance. There's always been a split within the BNP, with those who still support the old-school Mosely views , and those who want to appear more respectable. It depends really on whether they get a new figurehead, and what type of a figure head they become. Really though, I think that whether they are open about their old-school views or whether they stay with Nick Griffin or another person just like him, I don't think the BNP will change much, or gain anything from a change in leader.
Why do you think people are still voting BNP as a protest when they've already seen that this can get them into power?
I don't know if it was a matter of the BNPs votes increasing, or whether it was just a lack of votes in general that won them their seats. I also think their position has been helped by a lot of people's fears about this so-called "influx of immigrants" which I don't think has been helped much by the right wing press. And so I think a lot of people were pushed because they feel that Labour doesn't do enough for them, when in fact Labour have brought in some of the most draconian measures out of any EU country to deal with immigration.
Where do you think the BNPs views have stemmed from? Why?
Well, I'd have to say two things to that – the first thing is that the core membership of the BNP is made up of fascists and racists, there's an anecdote Nick Griffin once told about his school librarian asking him is he was a socialist and he said "yes, I am a socialist, a National Socialist". It is people like that that make up the hardcore of the BNP party. Wheras the rest are just made up of people who are dissolutioned with Labour and feel that they aren't really representing them.
Has there been an increase in activities by more extreme Right Wing groups such as the BPP and the EDL? Do you think they are bandwaggoning on the BNPs success?
I think they're definitely bandwaggoning, although I think the EDL are linked to the BNP, so whenever the BNP win votes in an area, the EDL will always follow up with a march. Right wing groups have definitely been given more confidence from the BNPs little successes.
How do you think the EDL will react to Anti-Fascist demonstrations being held on Saturday (31st October) at the same time as their protest?
I think they'll react the same way as they always do, by making advances, shouting racists remarks. I hope it won't turn violent, but with thugs like that you never really know.
So do you think it will be like in Birmingham when they were throwing missiles into the crowds?
I think it'll be very similar to how it was in Manchester where I don't think they were throwing things if I remember correctly although a few of them did start trouble...so they were sort of jeering at people and gearing up for a fight.
Do you think they should be allowed to partake in public demonstrations?
I think the people of the BNP already have a right to air their views, but the EDL should be banned simply because most of their demonstrations do turn violent. They went around smashing up Asian-owned shops, throwing things through the windows.
Have the views in the area changed since your campaigning before the European Election?
Definitely people are starting to realise how serious the threat is of the BNP, so we held an anti-fascist meetings and I started one up in Chapel Town and chaired the meeting there, and a lot of people are really starting to realise the seriousness of the situation.
What are your next steps to spread the anti-fascism message?
Well, the UAF are going to hold extra branch meetings. We also go into working class areas and try to speak to people about what the BNP really mean.

Publisher's Summary
Quiet misfit Rose doesn't expect to fall in love with the sleepy beach town of Leonora. Nor does she expect to become fast friends with beautiful, vivacious Pearl Kelly, organizer of the high school float at the annual Harvest Festival parade. It's better not to get too attached when Rose and her father live on the road, driving their caravan from one place to the next whenever her dad gets itchy feet. But Rose can't resist the mysterious charms of the town or the popular girl, try as she might.
Pearl convinces Rose to visit Edie Baker, once a renowned dressmaker, now a rumored witch. Together Rose and Edie hand-stitch an unforgettable dress of midnight blue for Rose to wear at the Harvest Festival - a dress that will have long-lasting consequences on life in Leonora, a dress that will seal the fate of one of the girls. Karen Foxlee's breathtaking novel weaves friendship, magic, and a murder mystery into something moving, real, and distinctly original.

What if God's temper hits boiling point, decides to start-over, and sends His legion of angels to exterminate the human race?
This is the question posed by the film, Legion, directed by Scott Stewart. An advertently disturbing thought and also worth pondering on, how will mankind seek salvation when its creator opts to destroy His own creation? And another thought, on a more contemporary, or Yankee, remark, "how will it go down?"
Directed by Scott Stewart
Released: January 2010
Michael (Paul Bettany, The Da Vinci Code), chief archangel and field commander of God's angelic battalion turns rebel due to a heavenly commission opposing his belief. As dark clouds form, apparently the biblical plagues, covering the world in unknown terror, mankind makes a last stand at a dingy diner, in the middle of nowhere.
Shunning former allegiances, Michael, cuts his cool steel angel wings (did I mention cool?), and teams up with circumstantial 'armed forces', also known as, the defenders of human race; a relocating family made up of a troublesome daughter and her troubled parents, a poser posing as a criminal, and a modern Joseph and Mary couple, but without the immaculate conception. As heaven's army strikes, Michael and the rest of his unenthusiastic, unconvinced, unlikely soldiers are tested; in strength, weakness and faith.
Without Michael at the forefront, God's army is now lead by archangel Gabriel (Kevin Durand, The Echo) who is bent on ensuring God's will is imposed, even if it means a battle against his long-time, like an eternity long, friend, Michael. A fated showdown between Michael's humane form with a stolen pistol for a weapon and Gabriel's flashy high-tech mace, with multiple pointy-thingy-extension features, and cool steel angel wings with equally flashy battle gear, will decide what Michael is willing to give up to defend man. I somehow felt like I described an action figure, oh well.
Viewing Experience
I honestly fell in love with the movie's concept, prompting me to persuade a few friends of mine to watch it almost as soon as it hit the cinemas. And yet a concept when applied may not always be as great as supposed. The film is not a waste of time and money, at the time, and it doesn't have a lingering satisfaction either.
Scene transitions are fine, fluid at most, appropriate and aid the storyline—so is the mood and theme. The graphics and visual effects were adequate. I believe the director has achieved the right taste and temperament of creepiness he aimed for.
However, upon finishing the movie, I felt this feeling of discontent gnawing from the insides of my stomach—or maybe I was just hungry. In any case, some scenes scream of foreshadowing, or so we thought, but to the audience's misfortune, were left unclosed. Certain aspects were also too cryptic, inclusive of portrayal and dialogue delivery.
Warning: Spoilers
A perfect example would be when Michael, before a final bout against Gabriel, tells Jeep (Lucas Black, The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift) to 'follow the instructions'. These instructions suddenly wrote itself like a tattoo snake around Jeep's torso while driving. Though it would've been funny if Jeep tried to read the instructions while driving, there was almost no time since Gabriel caught up with him and Charlie(Adrianne Palicki, Supernatural). As their road fight begins and ends, the instructions felt like nothing more than cool Vincent-like tattoos.
Another major deal-breaker would be the insufficient explanation, or at least depiction, as to why did man's fate rest upon the birth of a bastard child, which is similar to the Seventh Sign's save-the-world-plot.
In conclusion
If you're an avid film fan, which means you probably enjoy a fluid plot and well-patched storyline, then this is not for you. But if you enjoy action, a certain weight of creepiness and mystery in a film's overall aura, then you might add this to your movie wishlist. Considering the date of its release, I'd say it wasn't a waste. This is because the film can still make you squirm, react and nod inside the cinema. However, now that there are other much-awaited movies coming out (i.e. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Clash of the Titans) you might want to reconsider.Read more...

Addison Odell is just a small town girl from South Dakota who is ready to conquer the world...
My series, the Addison Chronicles, follows Addison in a coming of age series about a recent college grad from Middle America who learns more about herself during her solo journey through Europe than she did during her four years at the university.
Why a pen name? Because the new adult genre is a huge change from my edgy mainstream work as Amber Lea Easton and is a far cry from anything Dakota Skye would write. Cassidy Springfield's work is contemporary, young, moody, and insightful--and loosely based on my own time abroad right after college graduation.
All six books in the series are releasing December 1, 2017--no need to play the waiting game for this series!

The Worst Video Post Ever

Amateur radio (also called ham radio) is the use of designated radio frequency spectra for purposes of private recreation, non-commercial exchange of messages, wireless experimentation, self-training, and emergency communication. The term "amateur" is used to specify persons interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without direct monetary or other similar reward, and to differentiate it from commercial broadcasting, public safety (such as police and fire), or professional two-way radio services (such as maritime, aviation, taxis, etc.).
The amateur radio service (amateur service and amateur satellite service) is established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) through the International Telecommunication Regulations. National governments regulate technical and operational characteristics of transmissions and issue individual stations licenses with an identifying call sign. Prospective amateur operators are tested for their understanding of key concepts in electronics and the host government's radio regulations. Radio amateurs use a variety of voice, text, image, and data communications modes and have access to frequency allocations throughout the RF spectrum to enable communication across a city, region, country, continent, the world, or even into space.

This is ridiculous. The story reads that the bystanders were so concerned for a woman being raped--that they'd rather videotape it than help her. We are living in an age where we are replacing humanity for our cell phones!
Teen raped on lawn at Keith Urban show, police say - CNN.com(CNN) -- A teenage girl was raped at the same Keith Urban show where 20 people got so drunk they were hospitalized, police said.
The attack happened in front of a large crowd of other concertgoers on the lawn of the Xfinity Center, an outdoor amphitheater in Mansfield, Massachusetts, on Saturday night, a police statement said.
The rape ended when a woman in the crowd pushed the alleged attacker off the victim and he fled, police said.
Sean Murphy, 18, was arrested "a short time later" and charged with rape, police said.
"Officers conducting the investigation were assisted by patrons that had been concerned and took photos and video of the assault on their cellular phones," the Mansfield Police statement said. "Those phones are being processed to recover the digital evidence of the assault"

How to Master Meat this Memorial Day Weekend!
It's really not that difficult to make a perfect steak on the grill... step inside and I'll show you how.
A couple of things to remember will have you enjoying a perfect steak every time:
- Start with a room temperature piece of meat
- Season both sides with your favorite seasoning blend before grilling
- Pre-heat the grill to a HIGH, yes, I said HIGH
- Sear your meat, that's right-sear the steak(s) on each side-3 minutes each side, then turn the grill down to medium, cook another 3 minutes each side
- Get an instant read thermometer-this is the easiest way to get it right without having to remember the firmness of your palm (experienced chefs can tell the doneness of a steak by comparing the firmness to different parts of your palm)
- Rare is around 115... Medium-Rare 120... Medium-Well 135... and that's as far as I go... :P Cook it anymore and you might as well be eating jerky or save your money and buy hot dogs
- These beauties now need to rest... remove them from the grill and let sit for 3-5 or longer if really thick

hi ... first thing u need to do is visit a dentist and take x rays ... if there is any underlying dental decay that will be revealed with x rays and neccessary treatment (either fillings or root canal treatment) can be undertaken. another possibilty for ur kind of symptoms could be because of gum infection. if that is the case than u would require scaling of teeth to remove plaque and tartar. regards dr hingorani

Canines and felines leave behind tracks that show four toes on front and hind feet. Cats will not leave claw marks in their tracks, but canines such as the wolf, fox and coyote typically do.
Members of the rodent family make tracks that show front feet with four toes but back feet that have five. Some rodents like the larger porcupine will make tracks much larger than smaller ones such as mice and voles.
The presence of five toes on every foot in a track indicates the animal that made the track was part of the weasel family. Raccoons, beavers, bears and opossums have five toes on each foot as well.
The ungulates such as elk, moose, deer, caribou, pronghorn antelope and bison leave a two-toed print in the snow or ground.
Measuring the diameter and length of a track, then referring to field guides of animal tracks from your region can aid in helping to identify the print.

Back to School
Our Father
It is back to school for the kids and teachers. Give the students a good day today. Lord as Willow and Piper go to school today help them to focus on their school work and have a productive semester. Last semester was so disjointed help them to feel back at school and in the groove. Thank you for the learning opportunities they had last fall but Lord, use this time for them to grow and understand and relate what they have learned. Bring good Christian friends around them so they will be loved and secure.
Lord, Levi and Bristol need to finish up their last year. Sustain them through this semester. I pray they are able to finish the race. Teach them to be good parents and learn their own lessons along the way. Help them to grow in their personal faith.
I pray in the name of Jesus

If you own Koi long enough, eventually you will experience an unplanned group spawn.
Yesterday morning I looked out at my smaller quarantine pond and saw this:
Over the years I have experienced several group spawns. This one was different.
I keep only 3 Koi in this pond to maintain the biological filtration.
The spawning was basically between two Koi. A female Kohaku and a male Soragoi. Not as violent as past spawnings where several males were involved.
By mid day the pond looked like this:
I have experienced much worst mess in previous spawnings.

Looks legit but it looks like the dreaded zinc pest has got to it, clean it with vaseline!...
It's a wasted trip baby. Nobody said nothing about locking horns with no Tigers.
I'm Spartacus, not really i'm Paul!...
Will do!
This medal looks nice, and the ring seems marked.
I agree, it's a good one but a fast cleaning is required!
Looks fine, shame about the zinc pest.
I have to ask what's the Zinc Pest? And how come some of these Medals look like this while others seem to retain the black color with the silver around the edge & on the Helmet? I just bought one that still has the black color paint on it, and still has the silver to. But there's a couple of bubbles in the black paint, and it seems that's common on the ones with the black paint still on them..
I just looked up Zinc Pest, so now I know what it is. And there seems to be a debate on what or if anything can be done to stop or delay it..

CINCINNATI — Former Tigers outfielder Jacque Jones cleared waivers Thursday morning and could be a Marlin as soon as today, according an industry source who has spoken with club officials.
Damon Lapa, Jones' agent, would not confirm the Marlins' interest or name any other teams that had initiated discussions. He did say his client hoped to narrow the field to a couple of finalists in the next day or two.
"We've started some dialogue with a number of clubs," Lapa said. "Ever since he technically became free there's been an uptick in intensity. He's weighing all his options."
In this case money isn't a factor. With the Tigers on the hook for the remainder of his $5.5 million 2008 salary, whichever team signs Jones would pay him the prorated major league minimum, roughly $268,000.
Jones can play all three outfield positions and would give the Marlins additional veteran depth with Josh Willingham (back) out.
On the disabled list since April 28, Willingham suffered a setback while swinging earlier this week and has no timetable for a return.
"I want to say, yeah, but maybe not all the way," said Willingham, on if he was back to square one. "I probably was a little overanxious and tried to do too much too soon as far as swinging and activities, and now I'm dealing with it."
The left-handed hitting Jones, 33, also would give the Marlins another option in the leadoff spot. Born in San Diego, Jones continues to make his residence in that city's suburbs and could opt to sign with a team closer to home.
Thursday's series finale against the Reds was rained out.
No makeup date has been announced, but manager Fredi Gonzalez said the Marlins would keep their rotation as is.
Andrew Miller, Thursday's scheduled starter, will face the Royals in tonight's series opener followed by Scott Olsen and Burke Badenhop. Mark Hendrickson, who was due to pitch Sunday, will instead face the Diamondbacks in Tuesday's series opener.

- Lev Shestov, "A Letter to His Daughters"
I'm a likable cuss, but I'm also a melancholy man. It just is. So the season of Lent is hard for me. I love it because it's dark and moody and full of paradox...but if you live off to the side anyways, forty days of the melanc-holy can do a number on you. All of a sudden you look up mid-March and you're in extremis. Easter does come and you ring 'dem bells but if Jesus should see his shadow, then you've got six more weeks of winter which takes you into June and well...
I know we're all encouraged to be tolerant these days. But there are some things I cannot abide. Sorry. One is a claptrap faith, full of the pretentious nonsense of nothin' but sunshine and wrapping everything up in nice red bows and the fabled Mary Poppins's harmless first period.
At the same time, I'm learning to be intolerant of the opposite but equal trap within myself: that life is a tragedy best lived in the valley of the shadow of despair with occasional weekend trips to the vale of tears. Basically, Lent all year long.
That quote at the beginning? I found it while reading some B.H. Fairchild poetry. He's one of my favorites. I've met him, heard him read his plains pastoral. I haven't the foggiest idea who Lev Shestov is...I guess he had some daughters. I'm familiar with Tolstoy (glorious beard where eagles could nest) but Plato and Plotinus are, to me, just quotable dead men. But sometimes grace speaks from the living and the dead. In this case, I was startled by that particular sentiment - wings were growing in their backs.
Those six words have kicked up a new consciousness within me about Lent, one that just might help me make it thru the night. With every step down the forty day via dolorosa, wings are growing in my back. I believe they're growing in yours too. But the ding-donger here is that I can't see my back. I may be able to feel some feathery emergings, but I can't see them, at least not in the early days. Nor can you. So I guess we need each other in these days in the wake of Ash, huh? Friends, soul friends, anam caras to say well merciful heavens, I do believe you're growing wings.
Something to look forward to even while the horror rises before us...

Some villains like Hans Gruber and Darth Vader you love to hate and look forward to seeing them. Some are just plain annoying or disturbing and you want them off your screen (like Vickie Guerrero from WWE). Which one was Mori for you?
What reaction did you have to Mori?
Posted 11 September 2017 - 02:49 AM
It's kind of both for me really? I hate him a lot but watching Brucie punch him is always satisfying, and for fanworks I just kinda wanna make Mori everyone's punching bag (not necessarily a literal punching bag, though some people do physically hurt him sometimes when they're sick enough of his sh*t).
Makes me wish that we got to see Niko interact with Mori onscreen too. Niko wouldn't stand for Mori's bullsh*t, and probably wouldn't take too kindly to Mori calling him and Roman "immigrant scumbags" either...

I'll also have to go with get off my f*cking screen!...or better yet...get off my f*cking game! Arrogance is such a huge turn-off, even moreso when they can actually back their sh*t up.

neither. i really liked him. he was funny. he reminds me of doflamingo from one piece. i wish we had more missions for him.

Lets face it, Mori has a napoleon complex. He tries to make it up with his douchebag personality. Another great character with polarzing effects.

Location: Ballarat, Victoria
Price: $2,800 for the complete turbo kit or 4,0000 The whole car
Considering parting this out. The Turbo kit must got first though!
It was my daily for 4 months taking me on my 10km return trip from work and 4km gym trip every day. For the last probably 3-4 months it's sat unused. I had it going in the rain on the weekend but as I've been driving a lancer around it's a tad hectic (call me a b**ch) and I've decided it's just a ridiculous waste of good fun for someone sitting there.
It's done honestly less than 3,000kms.
It's a Snort Stage 3 kit.
It'll include everything required to bolt it straight on, turn key and drive. The Manifold, Turbo plus beanie, all lines off it, cooler, brackets for cooler and piping which is bent around so it doesn't require cutting and has the BOV plumed into it. TI Chip, OBX 12:1 Rising rate fuel reg and even the walbro out of the tank if you want. If I forgot something sorry I'm exhausted. Everything to turn key will be there!
$3300 and it's all yours. I'll even take you for a drive before I pull it off If you can't make up your mind.
PM me If your interested.
As for the car. EB ii Fairmont Ghia 1993 I think.
Auto, LSD, Full Leather (Mint Condition), Electric windows, Cruise control (Cables jammed) MP3 Head Unit, Trip meter and the rest of the usual.
Pedders Sports Ryders less than 10,000kms old. Sagged SL Kings in the front which have wrecked the tyres and gaurds (Needs sandpaper and paint). Rears are Lows.
Bottoms ends stock with over 300,000 on it. Odometer doesn't work.
Tickford Head, Camtech 845 Billet Camshaft with springs and retainers to suit off Camtech.
Stage 3 Snort Performance Turbo kit which I purchased Brand new around 12 months ago off Snort. All powder Coated
Walbro 255 (less than 200 kms old), Reconditioned AU Injectors, 12:1 Rising Rate FMU running 7psi.
3" Dump pipe into a 2 1/2" cat back without a cat. Pretty dodgy but works.
Tuned with a Custom J3 by TI Performance. Hasn't been dyno Tuned but has ran perfectly for the last 6 months.
Intercooler piping is SS which I bent around the K-Frame to avoid cutting holes. Doesn't touch the tyre and takes 30 seconds to remove when jacking it up.
Needs new tyres. The heater pipe under the manifold has a small crack that leaks water when parked. Also leaks a bit of oil when parked
Got some thermos, air con parts as I removed it, the silicon air intake and other junk to go with it.
It needs a bit of TLC to get it up to scratch. If you got a 3" Exhaust, injectors and a dyno tune it'd easily get over 250rwkw.
Got receipts for pretty much everything laying around.
9 Months Rego
This is what the kit looked like to start with but now has plenty of scratches.
Here's some more of the engine bay. The stains are from the rusty old water bottle before I replaced it a month or so back, I just can't be bothered cleaning it off.
You can see a bit better where the piping goes.

text: I have two test kits and in my tf-100 I am running out of some reagents, I also have a Taylor k-2005 and some of the reagents are identical and I will be able to use those up before I reup my tf-100. But the k2005 has the ph reagent r-0004 and the Tf has r-0014. The r-0004 says to use with the 2000 series comparator and the r-0014 says to use with residential series comparator. Are the two reagents the same thus interchangeable. Or are there differences and what would they be???

|The use of measures of modularity in electronic design
|Rogers, Ian Armstrong
|Awarding Body:
|University of Portsmouth
|Current Institution:
|University of Portsmouth
|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
This Dissertation describes the creation of novel electronic devices using a modular design process, and novel algorithms to evaluate the modularity of the electronic designs. Some advantages of modularity are to be able to aim to save time, reduce risk and therefore to save money during the development process. Existing algorithms were investigated and five were identified in the literature that had aspects that could have been suitable for electronic designs. A range of different features were extracted from them for use in the research. As a start to the research, the modularity of electronic designs created at a collaborating company was evaluated by applying the two most promising algorithms to some existing products. From that work, a new modular design methodology was introduced at the collaborating company and five new products were designed. The modularity of these new products was evaluated using three algorithms selected from the five identified in the literature. The design process was revised to improve the measures of modularity and another six new products were designed and their modularity evaluated using all five algorithms identified in the literature. A single new algorithm did not appear to be suitable to evaluate the modularity of electronic designs in the different situations identified. Instead, five new and novel algorithms were created. Two of the new algorithms were for two different types of electronic design created at the collaborating company: bespoke design and design for mass manufacture. The other three new algorithms were more general algorithms for: new bespoke design, new products closely based on an existing product (product progression), and design for mass manufacture. The five new algorithms were applied to the two products created prior to the start of the research and to the other eleven new products created during the research. The results are presented, discussed and compared to results from the five algorithms selected from the literature.

"The zoo cannot but disappoint. The public purpose of zoos is to offer visitors the opportunity of looking at animals. Yet nowhere in a zoo can a stranger encounter the look of an animal. At the most, the animal's gaze flickers and passes on. They look sideways. They look blindly beyond. They scan mechanically. They have been immunized to encounter, because nothing can any more occupy a central place in their attention." (28)
I found this quote from John Berger particularly compelling because it relates to a theme I want to explore in my final paper, namely isolation from nature. My paper will focus on the effect on society of people choosing (or, perhaps, being compelled by society to choose) to live apart from nature in largely urban environments. With this quote, Berger describes how the zoo can fit in with this theme. Although humans and animals are physically close in a zoo, they are still separated so that human observers can never "encounter the look of an animal" as they would in the wilderness. Animals become something to be looked at, as opposed to living creatures with which we can actively interact. This relationship can be expanded to describe human contact with all of nature in more developed urban societies. Nature becomes something to be looked at instead of something that we can interact with on a daily basis. Although people may take vacations from their urban or suburban environments, these are only for short periods, and the amount of time living in these developed environments can hinder how they interact with nature during this short time period.
In addition, in my paper I want to explore how technology fits in with this theme, and for this reason I was drawn to Berger's use of the word "mechanically" when describing the look of the animals in a zoo. By using this word, he likens these animals' behavior to that of machines: in their look, there is no deeper understanding of human beings, they only look passively in the same manner one might expect from a toy or mechanical animal. In isolating these animals from nature, they are also isolated from closer contact with other living creatures. Similarly, human beings can fall into this trap. Living in a highly technological, urban world allows people to become isolated from those around them. As there is less need for physical contact among people, the way people understand each other changes. In this sense, I believe it is possible for humans, not just animals, to become "immunized to encounter."

The skies cleared up enough yesterday that the MSG/SNA barbecue could go on as scheduled. The event was attended not only by gardeners but members of the Stonybrook Neighborhood Association; many people were affiliated with both. When my daughter and I arrived at 6:00 my priority was nourishment. Until my plate was filled with corn, potato, and pasta salads along with a burger off the grill I could not go about the business with catching up with some of my fellow gardeners, including a few I hadn't seen since the barbecue we had in June because many of us have such different schedules. We all had different reports about our vacations, the start of school, and creative projects, but when it came to gardening everyone complained about their tomatoes.As usual, I forgot to take photos until dark, which seemed to arrive too early. As I took out my camera drops from a brief light shower fell on my display, so it went back into my pocket until the main performance by Brian, who had been providing nice background music the whole time, and Joe, who added special lyrics to "The Garden Song." Some of his parody described the realities of gardening, from slugs eating the harvest and emergency runs to the A&P, but I was particularly amused by his lines about being a Steering Committee member that were inspired by his partner's complaints, I mean reports of her activities. Unfortunately, I don't have a decent photo that includes Curtis, who performed the essential task of holding up the sheet of lyrics.
My daughter's best friend in the garden was unavailable and it was too dark to read, so she amused herself with my camera. Her candids of people having a good time came out much better than mine, although the flash was blinding.
And so I've come to the end of this, my 100th post. After all of my dismal reports of rotted tomatoes and rained-out weekends, I found it a happy coincidence to have something positive to cover. I know that a few of my readers have passed this milestone already, given the length and frequency of their blogging, but I'm feeling rather pleased with this accomplishment. There were times in the past fifteen months that I wanted to quit, due to lack of topics, lack of comments, lack of desire to write about lackluster results, and lack of gardening activity in the off-season. But then I look back on how the act of blogging has forced me to get off my butt to really notice the progress of my gardens and learn more about improving my practices and it all seems worthwhile. I don't know if I have another 100 posts in my future, but I appreciate the attention, the comments, and the camaraderie among other gardening bloggers. Thanks for visiting.

Though visible, yesterday's carriage house did need some 'espying'.
I tried to give a little hint by describing the Wards, beginning with Ward One, in which this repurposed carriage house stands. Another little clue was using the persnickety 'espying' -- which, among other things, means glimpsing something partially hidden.
Do you know the three I was thinking of that are now residences?
They are on Carlton Avenue, Stelle Avenue, and Madison Avenue.
Where shall we go next week?

The appointments of new culture secretary John Whittingdale (pictured) and sport and tourism minister Tracey Crouch have been welcomed by the Tourism Society.
But the trade body called on the new government to ensure that Crouch maintains her tourism role for the long term within the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
Tourism Society chairman, Sandra Matthews-Marsh, said: "We congratulate John Whittingdale and Tracey Crouch on their appointments and look forward to working with them.
"Both have a track record of showing support for the industry and we will be keeping them appraised of the views of our members on tourism issues.
"The new government's five-year term will prove to be extremely interesting for the tourism industry with major projects such as airport expansion and HS1 in the spotlight.
"It is also the Society's hope that the new tourism minister's tenure will be a long one by comparison to past appointments to this post," she added.
Airport capacity and high speed rail are among the issued to be debated at the Tourism Society's tourism symposium in Kent on June 1-2.

Why Settle for Less?
If you look at the world around us, there's no doubt about it that standards continue to drop. Compromise and settling simply for what is average, or even less than average, is no longer very difficult. On the contrary, it's actually expected, especially of teenagers. But why would you settle for what is good when you can have that which is great? Why would you settle for average when you can strive for excellence? The two areas that I want to look at specifically in this post is that of marriage and our spiritual lives.
Nowadays, it's no surprise to hear of marriages crumbling and men and women who have divorced and remarried several times. It's considered "normal" for teenagers to go from one dating fling to the next, giving their emotions and bodies away to anyone without much of a second thought. And sadly, it's far too common in Christian circles as well. And yet, God wants us to experience so much more, and not just for a fleeting moment, but for a lifetime.
I've had people suggest to me that I'm too picky about the kind of man I want to marry someday, and that my expectations are too high. However, I know that when I get married, I will be committing "till death do us part." Therefore, I want to marry someone who I know I will be able to love, honour, respect, trust and submit to. At the same time, I also want to be sure that he will love me as Christ loves the church and gave Himself up for it. I want to have confidence that he will be a godly leader of our home and that he will be a good father to our children. He must be a man of godly character, integrity, a man who has a love for the Word of God and prayer. Jesus Christ must be at the core of his life and he must love Him above anything else.
I know this may sound very bold, but I don't believe that's too much to ask for. In fact, I believe that it's exactly what God wants for me and more. And if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that I will never be deserving of the wonderful man He will bring into my life. I know I have a long way to go before I will be ready to be a godly wife, but it's a work that God is doing within me. There are not many men who possess the qualities that I have described above, but I know they're out there, and by God's enabling grace, I intend to hold out for one. Why would I settle for less?
Now, in the area of our spiritual lives, there are also very few who strive to live above the mediocrity of modern North American Christianity. Most lives do not display the power of the Spirit and victory, but utter defeat. For all too many, reading the Bible is a drag, they have no desire to pray and they have no victory over sin and they accept that this is all there is. The think the power read about in Acts and the early church no longer exists. They read biographies of men and women of the past and say "That just doesn't happen anymore." And above all they're afraid that if they try and reach for something more, they will be outcasts. After all, they don't want to be called radical or extreme and certainly don't want to leave a legalistic or "holier-than-thou" impression. They're not willing to sacrifice the comfort of their present lives and endure any pain that may be necessary in living out Biblical Christianity.
The interesting thing is that such mediocrity is nothing new. I was struck by this while reading through Philippians this morning. Paul had a very difficult time finding men who were wholly devoted to God, men whom he could count on to support him in his work. Timothy, however, was a man he could count on and was confident of his genuine love for the church. In Philippians 2:20,21, he says:
"For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's."
And it's not only Paul who faced this challenge. Missionaries of the past have faced the same problem, that is, the inability to find men and women who are wholly devoted to Jesus Christ and the work of God. All too many are more concerned about earthly pleasures. So we see that yes, these men and women are few, but the truth is, each one of us can be one of the few.
I also never get the impression that Paul settled down where he was at. He always pressed on "toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." He didn't settle and he never gave up. And neither should we.
Philippians 4:8
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
I could say so much more, but I will leave it at that. But remember, if God has promised you treasure, will you dig until you find it, no matter how long it takes?

I like this post. :) Mediocrity is what God hates most of all. Don't settle for less.ReplyDelete
Why do people compromise?ReplyDelete
I don't know if you're looking for a response, but I believe there are several contributing factors. Primarily, fear. Fear that 'nothing better' will come along. Secondly, the failure to see ourselves as God sees us, as being fearfully and wonderfully made. We give into a lie that says, 'You can't do any better.' We also rush in because we buy into the false notion that if we find a spouse that it will solve our problems. Problems like loneliness. "If I get married, I won't be lonely." So we get married and find out that marriage does 'do for us' what we thought it should do. Thank you for this letter. There is more to it and I know there are others with more insight, but these are the thoughts I had as I was reading your post.
Keep going.
Thank you for sharing Kevin. Very good thoughts there!ReplyDelete

Molina fans are upset if the Cardinals do not win
A tie can upset fans. But if you have a winner then did the fans for the other team get their moneys worth?
In soccer if you goal kick so many time it is declared a tie. And ties make fans think they did not get their moneys worth.
Sometime when you lose you actually win because sometime the coaches do not play the players that fit best for the game.
Is Winning EVERYTHING??
Sometimes winning is not everything.
We are excited when they win.
A fan is a fan for life, win or loose.
If the cardinals do not win the fans are sad.

Four years after that spring of discontent propelled us into supposed newness, it's becoming harder to ignore the fallacy of the entire premise. By dumping all our ills on the monarchy, did the people really expect to evade our responsibility for our being? The agents of change continue to wear brave faces. But they cannot conceal their utter bewilderment over where republicanism, federalism and do-what-ever-you-will-ism will land everyone. It's harder when there's no one else to blame, isn't it?
Nepal's emergence in its modern, unitary form was not a fluke of history. Before that, we were a confederation of confederations. Like people who ran petty principalities elsewhere in the world, ambitious and ruthless rulers sought unity for further conquest. When the ruler of one undistinguished state bequeathed a legacy of overrunning territory after territory in a web of ambitious, intrigue and bloodshed, his heirs confronted no less zealous votaries of empire on the north and south.
But, then, the king only sat atop courtiers, commanders and soldiers. Those who did the heavy lifting came from all backgrounds and classes. When they shed blood, no drop was redder than the other. The Brahmins so vilified for having monopolized the subsequent state structure were the ones who bore the brunt of exile and anguish. The equally reviled Chhettris lost their heads because treachery and loyalty was defined by the power equations of the moment. True, the vast majority of the people remained marginalized and continued to lead a life of toil and want. That reality cannot obscure the risks of death and disbarment proximity to power carried. Neither kings nor courtiers were spared the tumult. For good or ill, that's how we got where we are.
One king's determination to enthrone his offspring from a Mathil Brahmin widow he had wed destabilized the country. This is not to suggest that madhesis can somehow be held collectively and perpetually responsible. Nor can the hillsfolk. King Rana Bahadur Shah could not have done much without willful collaborators among his courtiers. Everyone was convulsed by the aftermath. The point here is not the abundance of blame to go around. It is merely that without any of its disparate groups, the Nepal of yore cannot be conceived. And without that past, there will be nothing to measure the newness of tomorrow. To put it differently, no one has a greater claim to Nepaliness than anyone else.
The Qing and the Company didn't choose not to conquer Nepal because we were not worth it, as they have led us to believe. If that were the case, their successors wouldn't still be fighting their own larger battles on our turf. Forget water, our location was always our greatest resource and will always be so. The opportunity will lie in grasping the context. The Licchavis and Mallas used that for commercial and cultural advantage in the past. King Mahendra employed it to internationalize our national identity and aspirations to far greater effect than in drawing assistance for basic infrastructure. Just because King Gyanendra happened to be the man who so vociferously emphasized the advantages Nepal stood to gain as a transit state doesn't diminish the intrinsic worth of that enterprise. Was all that worth it? The debate will never end. Can we change it? Try on.
This blast from the past would have been irrelevant had reason found a place in the midst of our rage four years ago. After all, it takes a group like the Khmer Rouge whose ideological repulsiveness was matched by a collective ruthlessness to begin anew at Year Zero. Notwithstanding their successes in exposing our fissures, Nepal's Maoists thrived on the contradictions of their rivals – a finite commodity once they get toward being the only ones around. Capture state power they might in the impending vacuum, but what will they do without the courage of their convictions, no matter how craven they might have been in the first place? Rants don't resolve much.
It has been tempting these past four years to portray the loudest critics of change as those who stand to lose the most. But let's stop pretending that those who stand to gain the most aren't constantly consumed by doubts over whether change can be sustained geopolitically more than internally. History may be harsh but it is hard to undo. That is why the Indians can still seek the counsel of the ex-king or the Chinese can contemplate inviting him on a visit despite the fact that it was their representative who ended the practice of ambassadors' presenting letters of credence at the palace while we still had the monarchy.
Even after elected representatives abolished the monarchy, the ex-king continues to focus on his national role. Ceremony was always part of the crown and that aspect of it could never go away as long as Nepalese held tight to their traditions. Politically, too, how many of us really refuse to take comfort in the realization that the king and the army are still around to pick up the pieces and clean up should all hell break loose faster?

from Great Poems of the World War, an electronic edition
When Private Mugrums Parley Voos
I CAN count my francs an' santeems--
If I've got a basket near--
An' I speak a wicked "bon jour,"
But the verbs are awful queer,
An' I lose a lot o' pronouns
When I try to talk to you,
For your eyes are so bewitchin'
I forget to parlay voo.
In your pretty little garden,
With the bench beside the wall,
An' the sunshine on the asters,
An' the purple phlox so tall,
I should like to whisper secrets
But my language goes askew--
With the second person plural
For the old familiar "too."
In your pretty little garden
I could always say "juh tame,"
But it ain't so very subtle,
An' it ain't not quite the same
As "You've got some dandy earrings,"
Or "Your eyes are nice an' brown"--
But my adjectives get manly
Right before a lady noun.
Those infinitives perplex me;
I can say you're "tray jolee,"
But beyond that simple statement
All my tenses don't agree.
I can make the Boche "comprenney"
When I meet 'em in a trench,
But the softer things escape me
When I try to yap in French.
In your pretty little garden
Darn the idioms that dance
On your tongue so sweet and rapid,
Ah, they hold me in a trance!
Though I stutter an' I stammer,
In your garden, on the bench,
Yet my heart is writin' poems
When I talk to you in French.
W. D. Eaton, ed. Great Poems of the World War. Chicago: T.S. Denison & Company, 1922.

A Surprising Position.
I never found a conference or professional development activity that I didn't like. These activities provided much personal and professional growth.
Our jurisdiction decided to bring in and implement a health program. There were 6 parts to it and the main focus was more on getting along with people. It was fun to teach as there was much role playing and debriefing. There were many excellent group activities and projects.
Our Principal decided that for his school he would take one hour per week out of the language arts program and teach the health program in that hour. He would automatically have the teachers...the language arts (LA) staff.
One day the LA dept. head asked me if I would like to go to a week long work shop on the new health program. He was supposed to go but had some lame excuse. Sure I would go. The program was more about teaching strategies than introducing the new health program.
About a week after I got back the Principal called me in to tell me that he was going to set up a health Dept. and health Dept. Head. Would I like to be the Dept. Head. Okay sure! I was to see that all staff received professional development before teaching the new program and provide guidance for using materials. I believed it was a good program and was enthusiastic.
Now as most people know one of the six sections was called human relations and most kids referred to it as sex ed. It was a fun unit to teach and I think very worth while.
We had to hold a parent night before we taught unit 6. Guess who got to run the meeting? The Dept. Head of course! I'd had lots of experience with parent meetings, but this one turned out to be a big challenge. There was an organized group who were adamantly opposed to teaching about birth control. Surprise! Surprise! They dominated the meeting and vigorously pushed their agenda. We had no clue this would happen and were caught totally off guard. My principal wisely left me hung out to dry!
So a position I got by surprise turned out to have a big curve in it that was thrown at me. I learned a lot through the experience although it was tough to go through. I still think the LA head and Principal worked together to set me up!

It takes a special sort of person to devote their life to teaching. I know I couldn't do it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Not everybody would like to teach. it's much more challenging today and I''m not sure I could cut it. I retired in 1997.Delete
Oh yeah.. I think they could envision what was going to happen even if you didn't. I suspect that there would be far less opposition these days. At least I hope that would be the case.ReplyDeleteReplies
The program was greatly modified and allowed people to opt out. These two were awesome to work for.Delete
Yes it sounds a bit like a poisoned chalice to me. But I am sure they were better off with you in the role than many of your colleaguesReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I did not really fight this one. They wee both great to work for and gave me opportunities.Delete
Life is full of surprises and curves and most days give a challenge we did not have the day before - sounds like you were set up to take the brunt of this, however, a challenge is right up your alley Red. I would choose you for the wise man you are to teach anything :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I guess the surprise was that I was not looking for the position. Curves are always a challenge.Delete
Not fair! But I bet you handled it well.ReplyDeleteReplies
I don't think there was any evil intent. It was a plus for me even though it was a surprise. I liked them both and they were good to work for.Delete
Sometimes we get slammed for wanting to teach. I work with home school kids with science. It took me back a bit when a parent told me to work with Creationism to do this. We were at a Natural History Museum at the time.ReplyDeleteReplies
We sometimes have to do some dancing to get the job done.Delete
I hope those parents were teaching sex education at home. Most likely not. Sounds like a real mess to me. :(ReplyDeleteReplies
You've got it figured out. this cannot be left to chance. It was some good planning and both these guys were excellent to work for.Delete
I taught for a decade before burning out from all the nonsense and hoops teachers are forced to go through. It does sound like you were set up.ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree with you about the hoops.Delete
the hops were coming in when I retired in 97.
But it all turned out all right in the end. MUCH better to have had you there than him, in the first place. Sounds like a win/win for he kids. :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
You've got it. It was a good situation. It ended up being a two year position until we got the program off the ground.Delete
Principals can be weasels in disguise!ReplyDeleteReplies
I've worked for some top notch weasels! I loved them all!Delete
They may have dumped on you, but they also knew you could handle it, and apparently you did!ReplyDelete
Yep, sounds like you were set up - but it was probably for the best. You were able to handle the situation much better than they probably would have.ReplyDelete
what a tough spot to be in! people/parents can get quite adamant about their views - especially if it comes from their religious beliefs.ReplyDelete

Is there a game where we don't commit a personal foul?
Did it again against Tulsa…not even close.
Temple on opening KO.
SMU on opening KO.
And these are not just some face mask or just being aggressive. These are really bad penalties that have put us in bad situation.
No personal foul on kickoff for a touchbacks this week. But of course we didn't have many kickoffs this week
This week it was INT return if I'm not mistaken.

Hey! Hope everyone's week is off to a great start. 🙂
So I know I've been a little lax on the Vegas updates the past couple days but frankly I was just having too good of a time. 🙂
Here's what you missed:
Saturday night was our big bachelorette night out. I'm keeping most of these pics a little under cover (it was a bachelorette party after all!) but I will tell you that Katie channeled Madonna circa 1985 and enjoyed an evening out with her eighties ladies entourage.
There was Mexican food and margaritas
Crimped hair and plenty of eighties style
And I may or may not have been involved in a dance-off with this guy
Sunday night was a little more low key with dinner at the Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay.
The bachelorette (complete with *Bride* tee and tiara) had the mother of all bloody mary's (it had ginger infused vodka and blue cheese stuffed olives!)
I ordered turkey burger (sans bun) off the 'build your own burger' menu with grilled onions, zucchini, baby spinach and avocado and a side of sweet potato fries.
I swear there is a burger under all those greens. 🙂 It was a lot of food but I was starving and it was delicious so I managed to eat it all.
I may have even saved a little room for some Haagen-Dazs later on. 😉
After dinner we took a ride up to the Mix Lounge at THEhotel at Mandalay Bay.
View from the top.
Overall it was a great trip and I had a wonderful time with these five ladies. 🙂
But it was definitely good to get back home and see my pups.
And oats, protein powder, chocolate and I made up for lost time. 😉
Plan is to relax for the rest of the evening. New episode of Giuliana&Bill on tonight!
See you all tomorrow!

Although it has been shown to be untrue that the small Arctic rodents called lemmings commit mass suicide by blindly following a leader off of a cliff, such characterization has stuck and entered into popular culture as a description of those who follow blindly. I think rather than calling people who exhibit such behavior lemmings, they should be called Zombies.
Zombie is a term from Haitian witchcraft denoting one who was dead yet brought back to life by some mystical means. The term is often used to describe a person who behaves as if hypnotized, but able to move about normally while appearing to have little or no self-awareness. To me, this is a better description of those who follow blindly.
There are multiple types of leaders. I would like to focus on two specifically; those who lead Zombies and those who lead the self-aware. The former are what I would consider to be pseudo-leaders and the latter, true leaders.
Pseudo-leaders are common throughout the world. The best example of them is a creature known as the politician. Politicians speak soothing words designed to appeal to the unthinking masses. They are often of the parasitical subspecies of mankind. They tend to be manipulative and do nothing that is truly productive. They live off of the productivity of others.
True leaders are motivators of self-aware and critical thinking people. They typically have a strong vision of what they wish to accomplish. Their gift is in sharing their vision with others in such a way that large numbers choose to contribute their skills and talents to the accomplishment of that vision. Good examples of such leaders exist in the military and in private business. People such as General George S. Patton and Steve Jobs come to mind.
At one time in the history of this country there were many true leaders sprinkled among the elected officials in our nation's capitol. I fear that is no longer the case. It is obvious to me that anyone who exercised independent thought and was fully self-aware would quickly reject the rhetoric coming from the halls of Congress or the White House.
There must be an underlying reason that Washington has become so bereft of true leadership. Perhaps it is a failure on the part of the American people to exercise their vote wisely. Surely there are more self-aware, thinking people in this country than there are Zombies. We need a true leader to step forward and motivate that majority. It is time to replace the false with the real.
Tomorrow I will be at the halfway point of this alphabetic journey. If you have suggestions for a subject beginning with the letter "M" I would appreciate you leaving a comment.

Hi, I'm Cindy Clawford!
I'm a 1 year old spayed female brown tabby with white Domestic Short Hair.
I'm a playful kitten who likes to snuggle. I was named after a super model because the white markings on my chest and belly make me look like I'm wearing a bikini. :) I'm not interested in appearing in the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated, but I'm very interested in finding a loving home! I spent time in a shelter-approved foster home where I became well socialized and learned how great it is to live with humans. If you can commit to me for my whole life long, you're someone I want to meet!
I have been spayed and vaccinated, and I've received routine treatment for internal and external parasites. I have tested negative for Feline Leukemia.
Adopt Me!
If you are interested in adopting me, the first step is to submit an adoption application. You can download an application from the links below, attach the completed application to an email, and send it to the Humane Society of Jefferson County at email@example.com.
