Wildacres Writing Residency -- Blogging from the mountain-- Little Switzerland, NC
Part 1
I am so blessed to have been selected for a writing residency at Wildacres (www.wildacres.org). I will be working on a non-fiction book about my great, great, great grandfather, "Big Tom" Wilson, whose claim to fame was finding Dr. Mitchell's body on Mt. Mitchell. This residency is very competitive, so I feel very, very, blessed to be here. It is a beautiful area and I encourage you to visit.
Little Switzerland is gorgeous, and it isn't exactly at the end of the earth, but you can see it from here.
The Owl's Nest cabin is lovely, but I have to confess, the interor of it reminds me of the cabin that Johnny Depp had in the movie "Secret Window" (about a writer who goes crazy.) So while it is beautiful, I do sometimes find myself finding it just slightly intimidating.
Tomorrow I head to Mt. Mitchell, where I have an interview with some rangers. I was hoping that someone would take me to the waterfall where Mitchell's body was found, but that is on private property, so I need to find out who owns it and get permission, etc.
They have a whole display on Big Tom at the museum on top of Mt. Mitchell. This should be very interesing. I am hoping to get a book proposal completed by the end of this week to start shopping it around to agents...
Here is a photo of Big Tom.
Long story short, Big Tom was a bear hunter (he had killed over 100) and trapper in the mountains. There is a nature preserve named after him. Dr. Elisha Mitchell had determined that Mt. Mitchell was the highest peak east of the Mississippi and was confirming his findings when he went missing. After many failed attempts to find him, they sent for Big Tom, who found him at the bottom of a waterfall.

If only I could manage to save some money by doing some part time jobs previously... I would probably have stepped foot on Dublin, Cork or even Belfast. oh well, perhaps I can bang on AirAsia for cheap flights to UK...wonder if the long haul flights to UK have started...do you know? If they have, I could start saving and plans for an Irish holiday! I could also start looking at brochures or the online Lonely Planet for Dublin Hotels, Cork Hotels, and Belfast Hotels. Hmmm....I think am babbling too much...too many places to go with not enough time and especially not enough money in my pocket...oh well, just another day dreaming mode of mine...sigh...

Have you ever been to Ireland?
Ireland was one of the many places that I truly wanted to visit during my Uni years...Unfortunately, being a student, money is always an issue. Friends who have been there told me how interesting and beautiful Ireland is. Definitely, no one can deny the historic and cultural heritage which blends well with the modern life style in Ireland. I'm pretty sure, many travellers and even business people wouldn't mind such tourism experience. What's more if there are plenty of Ireland Hotels to choose from.

Outstanding sex is a remarkable experience which everybody takes pleasure in. Females like sex just as much, otherwise even more, than men! This may go against just what you thought you recognized, yet it's accurate. However have you found of current that your sexual relations has lost a little of it's dazzle? Never stress or surrender on it! There are a variety of things which you could perhaps perform in order to restore it to its former splendor as well as you could perhaps be giving her leg rattling orgasms in a snap!
Probably the least fascinating place that you could make love is your bedroom. If you desire to spruce up the whole sexual experience, sex furnishings is a wonderful way to go. Sex furnishings is usually very discreet as well as blends in well with the other things in your house. Unlike level surface areas like a bed or a cushion, this type of furnishings is most likely to allow you check out a wide series of positions that you would certainly have formerly not believed achievable. You are a lot more probable to find enjoyable sex positions which are most likely to promote her clitoris as well as g-spot in something like a sex swing instead of on a bed.
You might have heard this set in the past, yet I just could not emphasize enough how much females like being kissed by their enthusiasts. It is something so critical as well as basic but yet it appears to be ignored by a lot of guys. Attempt several of these hot moves on your lady if you wish to sizzle up your sex life. Draw on an ice or sip on a cool beverage prior to kissing her. This will obtain her hot in a snap level! Or probably attempt presenting some actual sweet taste to a kiss by taking in strawberries or placing a small amount of honey in your mouth right prior to locking lips. It's also crucial not to neglect to kiss her while in the act of having sex.
One certain keystone of unbelievable sex is developing the scene as well as constructing an ambience around you. Pay very attention to the views as well as sounds concerning you. Perhaps attempt fitting a few colored light bulbs to provide the area a sexy background. It has been discovered in studies that the shade purple could accentuate a woman's sexual climax. This is an actually fast way to rev up her sensual power. Whilst you are at it, why not play some tunes to provide an audio track to your session? Right before starting sex, females appreciate a moment of intimacy as well as affection. Attempt drinking on a couple of glasses of wine as well as hearing something hot as well as balmy on the CD player. Discover her body as well as situate her enjoyment areas in front of a fire place if your have one.
Take your time as well as do not hurry into sexual activity. This can be amongst the biggest errors you could make if you wish to obtain your lady DEFINITELY activated. A lot of the time, a woman will take a little while ahead about to the idea of sex as well as end up being aroused, where as a man could do the exact same point in a heart beat. For many females, a sensual massage therapy will obtain her electric motor running hot. This certain kind of massage therapy, in contrast to a typical one, is one where you will concentrate extra on her sensual zones. Take your time to find where these are. They could differ from lady to lady. Enjoyable sex positions that have actually helped a better half formerly might not work for your current woman. Be actually seductive as well as attentive towards her as well as she will soon allow you recognize when it's time to take it to the following degree. All females actually enjoy it when their clitoris is stimulated. This could be with a hand or with oral sex yet there is also a brand-new way to do it. The Womanizer is a brand-new as well as incredible clitoral stimulator that makes use of light air bursts to promote the clitoris. Many females climax after just a couple of minutes. That is incredible. This short article concerning womanizer 2go contains all the information you need. Go there, check out the terrific short article then look for the best offers on this amazing new product.
You could actually give her something to talk about with her friends if you attempt a few of these ideas out. Ladies discuss sex with their sweethearts even more than guys do, believe me. If you desire to actually infuse some seasoning into you love life, experiment with several of these methods when things following fume as well as hefty with your lover.
Make it to ensure that your activities appear to have an all-natural flow as well as rhythm. A great way to find out just what transforms her on is to introduce a few sex playthings into your foreplay. It will be an actually excellent way for you to discover just what transforms her on as well as enter sync with her sexuality. If she owns a vibrator, you could discover a lot from her if you obtain her to reveal you just how she uses it. Take note of the rate, angle as well as the kind of pressure that she makes use of to enjoyment herself then mimic these methods on her utilizing your fingers, mouth or your johnson!
Internal prostate massage therapy is also a very powerful tool for any lady to have in her bag of sexual methods. Although its purpose is to lengthen climaxing, as a result of its unbelievable feeling for guys, many a savvy lady use this method to really speed up climaxing up when essentially, they are ready for sex to finish.
She is most likely to find sex a dull or monotonous event if you are short of a bit of imagination in the bedroom. Using your creative imagination, I wager you could think about some enjoyable sex positions to attempt. While her body is not something you should look into, her mind is one of the most crucial sex organ as well as the one that you need to aim to promote one of the most. Look straight into her eyes as well as adore her with your words as well as touch. She will be a lot extra open to sex if your please her fancy a little. Something that could obtain her actually hot is a little bit of classy sensual literary works. If you desire, you might prefer to attempt reviewing her a few pages from this adult material prior to going off to bed. When you arrive, she can have a little something more than sleep on her mind.

All occasion cards....for knitters.

Bears and booties!
As you can see I live on a 'dirt road' in rural Pennsylvania. I hate living on a dirt road but I love where I live..now that's a contradiction...but the road is so dusty in summer, rutted and like a wagon track in spring and we are usually snowed in during the winter because dirt roads are not a priority! That about sums it up.
Okay, the advantages...I can cut myself off from the world. I don't have to go camping, and my world is teeming with wildlife.
The evening I took this picture I had been barbecuing and the smells outside of cooking were wonderful. I imagine the neighbour's mouth was watering! So it's no wonder the bear stopped by.
The Grand Poobah and I had eaten dinner. I decided to go out and make sure the gas to grill was off! (I'm sort of an a** about these little details!) I went out and was shocked to see a bear sauntering thru the yard! I rushed back indoors and yelled, "Honey, there's a bear in the yard!" The Grand Poobah said, "You must be mistaken...are you sure it's not a big dog? He came out and was impressed. He had never seen a bear that close before and he had grown up in the Allegheny 'National Forest,' where there are quite a few roaming the woods. I'd say the bear weighed near 200lbs.
I had the presence of mind to pick up my camera (because pix speak volumes.) It was just starting to get dark.....and I just never thought about adjusting for brightness etc.. So ta-da if you look carefully you can see that bad boy! Here is the 10th pix of my 1st folder!!! Not the greatest but..you can click on the photo for a closer look!
Happy knitting.
P.S. Speaking of knitting. I made these booties/sox? for a friend.Yarn:- Heart&Sole colour 'Green Envy.'
Cuff. 3 knit followed by 3 purl rows.
Short row double stitch heel.
Hope they fit.
Love them!
Happy 4th everyone. Stay safe!

We launched our graphic design contest on 99 Designs for graphic designers all over the world to take a stab at designing our logo for our bakery business. For $299 we will receive up to thirty different designs to choose from and it's pretty risk free because if we don't end up liking any of them, we don't pay. Can't lose, right?
We took some time over the last few weeks and have been looking off and on at Pinterest and such for some basic designs we liked that we could submit as a guide for the designers. Here's what we liked the best:
It's only been a few hours since we began the contest and we have two submissions already and numerous other designers working on their submissions. We liked the first of the two submissions but we still don't feel like it's [the one] yet. It could be close. That's another thing though; we can give feedback directly to the designers. You rate their designs, offer suggestions and hopefully you'll end up with a logo you love (we've got our fingers crossed!!).
For now, I'll just refresh the contest page every once and a while and hope a new design pops up.
I can't wait to share the winner- this is basically step ONE of beginning this business. It's going to be a long, hard road but it's going to be so worth it. We'll be doing something we love and we'll get to share it with all of Seattle!

Easter may delay the formation of the government in Berlin
The next German government could be delayed until next Easter, "wrote the German daily newspaper Frankfurter Allegmeine Sonntagszeitung (FAS).
According to the paper, Chancellor Angela Merkel, chair of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has already decided to target another major coalition and reject the idea of forming a minority government with the Brotherhood with the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) and the Greens and try each case to organize a majority in the federal parliament (Bundestag).
Chancellor Angela Merkel discussed this opportunity with leaders of the Greens and agreed with the Liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) on the external support of a potential minority government and finally agreed on Thursday with the CDU provincial prime ministers big coalition – the CDU / CSU party alliance and the coalition of the German Social Democratic Party (SPD).
Minority government can only be said if the SPD makes unethical conditions conditional on the continuation of joint governance.
In any case leading social democratic politicians have begun formulating conditions on Saturday, for example, one of the vice-presidents of the party, Ralf Stegner, stated that the SPD would in no way accept the further limitation of the right to family reunification of asylum seekers who protected the status of refugees and the imposition of an upper limit on asylum seekers inclusion of.
According to FAS, the executive federal government reports that a lengthy negotiation process can lead to another big coalition, and until the 2018 Easter, the formation of a new government may take place. During the transitional period, the executive government follows the policy of "constructive abstention" in EU affairs, ie it does not make any decisions that may limit the scope of the next government and "does not lock doors" that the previous big coalition revealed – said Peter Altmaier Minister of Chancellery, Managing Finance Minister.
After the September Bundestag election, the winning CDU / CSU began negotiations with FDP and the Greens on joint governance. Negotiations on the government called the Jamaica coalition on the basis of party color (CDU / CSU: Black, FDP: Yellow, Green: Green) failed on Monday because the FDP came out of the preliminary consultation process on the possibility of opening formal coalition negotiations. They argued that there was not enough confidence between the four parties and they could not agree on Germany's renewal.

The sect is devoted to love, but below the surface you will discover jealousy, fear, hate and lots of suffering from the mistresses' brutality.

"Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" reality star Joseline Hernandez has just quit the show after making threats to expose executive producer Mona Scott-Young via Instagram.
The self-proclaimed Puerto Rican Princess and new mom, who believes she should be paid more for appearing on the show each season, announced her departure on her personal IG page on Thursday. See photo above!
Though we're not exactly sure what happened between Hernandez and Mona, but in cases like this, the show's boss and production team usually try to work out some lucrative deal with their main moneymaker/star — you know — that one reason why viewers tune in each week.
And things also got a little more interesting with Bonnie Bella Jordan's mom begging fans to tag Oprah Winfrey in their Instagram caption so she can sit and tell Ms. Winfrey what really happens behind the scenes on Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta.
"[I'm going to come back] in about five minutes. I need ya'll to have y'all phones ready to record what I'm about to tell you about this b**ch Mona [Scott-Young] and how she muthfu*king treated her cast members and all the s**t that she's done to us throughout the muthafu*king years.

Wonderful Weekend
Saturday morning, we had Jake and Izzy since Kristin and George both had to work. Pappy cooked everyone "dippy" eggs and bacon for breakfast. Then we went outside to enjoy the beautiful day, and Rod and I sat and laughed at the kids playing their special games. He grilled hot dogs for lunch, and the kids presented me with some buttercups they found in the yard. Izzy's had nice long stems, while Jake's had no stems at all. It was a wonderful morning.
Sunday, we invited Mary and her family for dinner. With Mary's working, Krissy's band and Bubby's therapy, we don't see very much of them and we had a wonderful evening. Rod and I decided to do a boneless pork loin roast on the rotisserie and we basted it with Pam's homemade pear butter. It created a nice, sweet crust while the meat inside was moist and full of flavor. The side dishes were quick and easy, green beans with bacon, baked beans, and cheese topped pierogis. We discussed our sad, sloppy Steelers and watched the highlights from some other games. After they left, Rod and I ended our evening by watching Goldeneye with Pierce Brosnan (I love me some Pierce Brosnan).
All in all, it was a great weekend with beautiful weather, family, good food and old friends.

What a GREAT weekend!!! Thanks for sharing. As for marching bands, my daughter was in one and over the course of time was a flute player AND a drum major. I loved their competitions and they also went and marched in EPCOT when she was a drum major. Those were the days! I am sad, too, that marching band membership seems to have dwindled so drastically. I hope the trend reverses and it goes back to what it used to be, but I somehow doubt that will happen. :(

The objective is to enhance the contrast in MR image when the acquisition time is constrained to be limited in comparison to those of available MR sequences. Harmonic retrieval methods will be used for synthesizing the k-space from sparsely sampled, and incompletely acquired spin/gradient echo signal. A significant outcome is the development of a partial-echo sequence, in which the acquisition time per RF pulse application can be limited to 1.2-1.5TE for both spin and gradient echo sequences. A linear prediction-based algorithm embodies the principle underlying the possibility of recovering anatomical details of the proposed partial-echo sequence. Prior to clinical trials, the prototypical sequence and the associated image reconstruction method will be validated using an MR simulator, and anatomically realistic simulated data sets. The remainder of outcomes is related to clinical applications involving brain lesion identification and fat-water separation using the proposed partial-echo sequence..
Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) and Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) form a combinational approach in the investigation of stroke imaging. DWI derived measures are used to detect the infarcted brain tissue and FLAIR images are used to detect regions with edema. Of these, the DWI employs Echo-Planar Imaging (EPI) type of acquisition in which the entire k-space is scanned with a single RF pulse, followed by echoes whose amplitudes are modulated in accordance with the distance from the k-space center. EPI data have inherently low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). In situations where only partial echoes are acquired, the low SNR of EPI data can further result in loss of fine structural details. In the case of rapid scanning, echo truncation in EPI will need extra processing to restore the lost information. Our method to investigate the incomplete (partial) acquisition of EPI and bring out corrective filtering steps to improve quantitative stroke imaging..
The key research components include development of spatial and k-space filters for elimination of truncation artefacts, enhancement and restoration of features in the magnitude image reconstructed from partial k-space of EPI data. As compared to other multi-pulse sequences, the filters required for restoration of partially acquired EPI are to be tailored for operation under low SNR conditions. A novel aspect of the current proposal is the elimination of the need for acquiring a major fraction of the echoes in the dephasing period..
MRI simulators using the Bloch equation have been extensively used to design pulse sequences, validate image reconstruction algorithms, develop methods for image artifact suppression, and aid in MRI education. Although many fundamental physical principles and software designs for creating an MRI simulator have been described, and the image artifacts due to static magnetic field in-homogeneities and other off-resonance effects have been simulated and validated for cases with homogeneous RF transmission, many previous works were based on assumptions of homogenous radiofrequency (RF) fields that did not take into consideration the multiple unique distributions of the RF receive (B1-) and transmit (B1+) circularly polarized magnetic field components that have allowed for parallel reception and transmission. Although at least one prior MRI simulator allows for consideration of specific B1 field patterns, including transmit and receive arrays, none have considered the associated electric field distributions (E1) throughout the sample for calculating protocol-specific specific absorption rate (SAR) in multichannel transmission and realistic, correlated noise received in each channel during multichannel reception.
In recent years, MRI-related field simulations have made knowledge of realistic distributions of all the above electromagnetic fields available to many in the MR community. Recently developed MRI simulation tools consider realistic representation of all these pertinent electromagnetic fields to accurately calculate not only signal with the Bloch equation but also noise and SAR useful in the design and evaluation of new pulses, sequences, reconstruction methods, and hardware before costly implementation on a real scanner. This enables MRI developers to perform preliminary evaluation of new ideas.
In parallel MRI, phased arrays are used as receivers, and a separate homogenous volume coil is used for transmission. Parallel MRI uses spatial information about the origin of the detected MR signal from sensitivity maps of the receiver coils. Hence the received signal is strongly dependent on the coil geometry. The MRI simulators discussed, do not take into account the coil sensitivity and geometry effects for calculation of the induced voltage in the receiver coil. Further, mutual inductances between coils can result in additive noise and loss of spatial information. Computation of flux lines from the simulator can be used for optimal design of phased array coils with minimum coupling and increased SNR. Although other simulators are available, we do not have access to the time varying spatial magnetization data that is required for computation of the flux lines. Hence the need for building an in-house simulator. .

So you might've mentioned on your Tinder profile you like to hike (max 2 miles), travel (to the nearest pizza joint), work out (once a month…maybe) and cook (order take out), and maybe you might've thought this was going to be a fling and it wasn't going to last, but now it's Valentine's day and he/she's like let's avoid the V-day traffic, be romantic and cook at home. Shit son! But don't worry….I got you with this simple recipe, "romantic" recipe.
For me, the best thing thing about Valentine's day is the chocolate sale at the drug store the day after. It's one of the worst day of the year to go out eat. You've got long waits, expensive pre-fixed menus and sweaty, likely bitter cooks churning out food as quickly as possible. If you're going to celebrate, I always highly recommend the at home route. But you're probably like 90% of my young millennial friends: you hate cooking, it's time consuming, small apartment kitchen, you complain on social media about it, ect. So here's a dish that incredibly easy, cheap (chicken and mushroom!), delicious and "fancy". Little secret: throw the word wine into a dish's name and it's automatically "romantic" or "fancy". And it doesn't get easier than this. I recommend pairing this with roasted rosemary potatoes and green beans. Don't forget to instagram your romantic meal and make the rest of us vomit at how cute and in love you two are! Now excuse me as I spend my Valentine's eating as much Popeye's fried chicken as humanly possible and getting baked.
Chicken and Mushroom in Garlic White Wine

Purposes for which ICT is used.
Extracts from this document...
Report 1 - Purposes for which ICT is used My report on how "purposes for which ICT is used" is about how Warner Village Cinemas, a large company in the entertainment industry owned by Warner Bros ltd and Village Roadshow ltd use ICT in their day to day running of their cinema branches. I researched how they use the technology at their Watford branch. The Organisation The Watford branch employs 60 members of staff (24 full time and 36 part time). The cinema receives over 5000 customers per week. The company's aim is to provide a good quality cinema viewing experience for their customers as well as making a profit. The needs for Warner Village are; to provide a fast, efficient and flexible sales service, to provide a good selection of stock of films, food and drinks, to be able to set and monitor budgets and to communicate well with customers, suppliers and their head office. ...read more.
Here are some snapshots of their website: Warner Villages website which can be found at http://www.warnervillage.co.uk/ (The home page) (Branch Locator) (Information on Watford Branch) Letters are word processed for customers as well as posters and notices about forthcoming events in the branch. Telephones are used to communicate to with others internally and externally. Telephones are also used so customers are allowed to use the credit card booking facility to save time queuing when they arrive at the branch. ICT for informational purposes is used to create a database system to store sales details providing performance information so daily profits can be recorded and compared to other days takings or to be compared with another branches takings for that particular day or week. It is also the same database that shows the availability of seats when purchasing tickets at the Box Office and also online. ...read more.
15 inch TFT Monitor, Windows XP Home Edition, MS Worksuite 2002, Word 2002 & more, This is used to set up the weekly film schedules for the Box Office. In some of the other Warner Village branches the digital projection of the films is being used. This high tech modern ICT equipment is not set up in the Watford branch yet. It is planned to be installed in the future. The finance department have the branches budgets forecasted and also monitored by a spreadsheet. The sales of the branch are recorded and totalled via the sales ICT systems. The finance department also produces the payroll; they hold information about the staff and their wages on a spreadsheet, this is produced on Microsoft Excel. They are also required to print pay slips for every member within that branch. Created by Samir Khan 10ATs - ICT Coursework ...read more.

Scuba Diving Brings Health, Hope to Injured And Disabled
(NewsUSA) - Scuba diving can be an exotic and enriching activity, but for many, it can also be a therapeutic one.
The weightlessness of a water environment allows individuals with a range of injuries or disabilities to exercise, relax, have fun, and gain confidence. Children and adults with challenges including traumatic brain injuries, amputation, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, and blindness can enjoy the physical and psychological benefits of scuba diving.
Diveheart, a nonprofit organization founded in 2001, trains thousands of volunteers and works with injured and disabled individuals across the world, in areas including the United States, Mexico,UK, Malaysia, Israel, Philippines and the Caribbean.
As Darrell Young, a Vietnam veteran who is paraplegic as the result of a spinal cord injury, explains in a testimonial on the Diveheart website, "Diving gives me a high expectancy of myself. It gives me a goal to accomplish knowing that when it comes to the finish line it doesn't matter how I finish my dive, but the feeling of strength I gain from diving," he says.
Diveheart relies on volunteers and donations to help provide adaptive diving and scuba therapy experiences at no cost to the participants. Most of the initial training and first diving experiences occur in school or community pools. Participants don't even need to know how to swim to benefit from therapeutic scuba diving, and the learning curve is almost immediate, according to Diveheart's website details.
Diveheart works to spread the word that diving is a real option with many benefits for the individuals affected with injuries and for the volunteers who get involved as "dive buddies." The basic experience of being in the water with the support of a trained "dive buddy" can relieve pain, improve focus, and bring joy, according to Diveheart participants.
Diveheart also provides adaptive dive training for those who want to take the next step and become adaptive divers or dive buddies to help others.
Most Diveheart participants are eager for destination scuba-diving adventures once individuals are trained and comfortable with the scuba experience. Diveheart offers opportunities for fundraising and also works to find grants for those who struggle with the cost of a dive getaway.
In addition, Diveheart works with the science and medical communities to provide data and research opportunities on the benefits of therapeutic scuba diving for a range of medical conditions.
For more information on participating, volunteering, or donating, visit diveheart.org.

May 6, 2010
DELHI — Indian Defense Minister A.K. Antony says the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is working to expedite its numerous delayed programs.
DRDO will use a consortium approach for design, development and fabrication of critical components, Project Monitoring Reviews and joint funding by the military services to try to overcome delays, Antony said.
Some of the many DRDO projects that have missed their original timelines include:
• The Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Full Scale Engineering Development (FSED) Program – Phase II was approved in 2001 and overshot its budget by almost 100%. It was to be completed by 2008; the latest probable completion date is 2012.
• The Full Scale Engineering Development Program for the Naval Light Combat Aircraft (LCA-Navy) also overshot its budget and timeline by four years, from 2010 to 2014.
• The Interception, Monitoring, Direction Finding and Analysis System (IMDFAS) – Divyadrishti. Started in 2002, it was to be completed in 2008. The new date for completion is 2010.
• The Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP), begun in 1983, was to be completed by 1995. The revised date is 2010.
• The Kaveri Engine for LCA was approved in 1989 with a completion date of 1996. The latest schedule is 2010.
Reasons cited by Antony for delays and cost escalation include technical/technological complexities; sanctions
imposed …. increase in scope of work in terms of creation of more infrastructure, test facilities and their maintenance; change/enhancement in user requirements during development; deviations/failures during testing; [and] extended and long-drawn user trials."

text: What do you guys use to tumble or clean brass. I have a tumbler and have been using the same media for a long time and it's getting pretty dark. What's best, and how long does it last. When it says media is "treated" does this mean with a type of metal cleaner, and does treated last longer than non-treated. I remember reading somewhere about a guy who bought some sort of hamster bedding from a pet store to use as media, any truth to that?

Another beautiful January morning for us to enjoy Saints~
It may seem today that you are repeating yourself and you wonder why in the world we would be reading something so similar to something written before. Why would the Holy Spirit consider the books of 1st and 2nd Chronicles to be included in the Bible if they are duplicates? Let's look closer at what is going on.
The books of Chronicles are uniquely special. They possess a richness of texture and and interpretative challenges that surpasses that of most OT historical books. Much of the richness is due to the close parallel to the four books previous to them. Fifty percent of Chronicles is the same material found in Samuel and Kings. Yet in actuality, the remaining 50% which is not found in the previous four books, contains the rich theological and spiritual material so important to its hearers and us today.

A recent baseball game
The Rockies are really good right now. I love this picture. Here's the caption:
"September 9, 2009: Rockies starting pitcher Jason Hammel did not factor in the decision despite pitching 7 1/3 innings while giving up only 2 runs on 3 hits and striking out 8 during a regular season game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. Here, Hammel, catcher Yorvit Torrealba, and shortstop Clint Barmes wait on the mound for manager Jim Tracy as Hammel is relieved in the 8th inning. The Rockies beat the Reds 4-3 with a come-from-behind 2-RBI walkoff single in the 9th inning."
I need to work quick, so it not the best verbiage. Either way, I wanted to share it.

It is a time-based service and is available on-demand for users. The service starts at a minimum fare of Rs.359, which would cover a trip for 1 hour and up to 10 kms.
Read the complete press release below
Uber, the world's largest on-demand ride-sharing company, today announced the launch of uberHIRE XL in Delhi. Aimed at enhancing mobility experience in the city, uberHIRE XL will enable upto 6 riders to travel together and book both day long trips as they go exploring the shopping districts and long distance journeys across NCR.
Based on strong rider demand as well as deep understanding of the local economy needs, uberHIRE XL is a time-based service that will be available on-demand for riders, offering them with an economical, convenient and reliable travel option. With this service, riders can hire a 6 seater for all their travel needs be it day or night, whether it is to explore the city's scenic beauty or for business travel and multiple meetings. UberHIRE XL makes for a great use-case for the wedding season too both in terms of shopping adventures across town as well as travelling back and forth from wedding venues as a family.
Speaking on the launch, Prabhjeet Singh, General Manager, North India, Uber said,"After the successful launch of uberHIRE in multiple cities, we are delighted to announce Delhi as our launch city for uberHIRE XL. With the influx of tourists in the capital, Uber aims at providing reliable rides at all hours of the day so tourists can cover key attractions across NCR, thereby supporting and extending the capital's public transportation system. With the wedding season on the anvil, UberHIRE XL can also solve for both shopping and travel to and from wedding venues led requirements for large families. We are enthused by the tremendous potential that UberHIRE XL holds for Delhites."
The launch of UberHIRE XL in Delhi comes just in time for the festive and winter season. Riders can avail this service at a minimum fare of Rs.359 in cash that would cover the trip for 1 hour and up to 10 kms and comfortably travel with friends and family.
Uber has always believed in the transformative potential of technology and strived to harness it to solve for some of the most complex problems and urban infrastructure challenges that cities face today.
What makes UberHIRE XL unique is its ability to become a one-stop solution for both large groups of travellers wanting to ride together to fewer riders looking for extra space while taking day-long trips with multiple stops across town. The pricing is flexible unlike fixed packages and riders only pay for the exact time and distance that they will use UberHIRE XL for.
How does it work:
- Open your Uber app
- Set your pickup location, destination and request your uberHIRE XL
- On confirmation, the rider's will see driver's details straight away - name, photo and the details of the car
- At the end of your trip, your total fare is calculated based on the distance and duration of your trip. You can pay in cash and receive an e-receipt at the end of your trip.

ETL9.1: TL LOAD is Ignoring the Filters on Run Controls and Calls the Paysheet Creation Process
Last updated on JULY 13, 2016
Applies to:PeopleSoft Enterprise HRMS Time and Labor - Version 9.1 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
On : 9.1 version, NA Payroll Integration/TL Load
TL Load for on cycle payroll is ignoring the filters specified on the run control. It is also rejecting payable time previously loaded if there is some kind of job change, even when employee isn't specified on the run control. A new hire also had a paysheet created which wasn't expected as they were hired after the cut off date.
When only one or two employees are specified on the filter for an on cycle load the TL Load process should only be processing those employees and should not be looking at any other employees.
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Set paygroup automatic paysheet update flag off on the paygroups
2. Load in preliminary calc is turned on on the main installation page
3. Create payable time ready to load for several employees
4. make a job change to one of the employees you don't want time loaded for
5. hire a new employee after the cut off date but within the pay period date range
6. run tl load to oncycle calendar using the filters and specifying just one employee
7. TL Load process caused a new paysheet to be created for the new hire, the employee with the job change had previously loaded payable time rejected and no error messages were given.
There are two issues reported because of the behavior:
1) Why did the filtered TL Load cause the new hire paysheet to be created even though we honored the automatic paysheet update flag and didn't load the time? No messages provided informing users.
2. Why was the employee's time with the job change rejected without messages and the employee wasn't even on the run control? The job change calling refresh isn't surprising, what was surprising was that it rejected the payable time but no messages as to why the time was rejected.
The issue has the following business impacts:
1. An employee who was newly hired but not expected to be paid (based on policy) is paid based on job hours in error. The employee should have been paid only in the next period due to cut off date and the 'Automatic Paysheet Update' setting on the Paygroup being off. The preliminary calculation process in payroll does honor this flag setting and does not create a paysheet for new hires after they were originally created.
2. An employee has their previously loaded payable time rejected without any error messages warning the end users. In this case because they do load time in preliminary calc process this time will get picked up again. However, for a customer that has the load in preliminary calc turned off the employee will not get time reloaded and would be underpaid.

I've finally fulfilled my biggest dream and between March and April this year I flew to the land of sakura, anime, AKB48, sake and wasabi, to spend there almost three weeks. In general it was no spontaneous ,last-minute sort of deal, which would be built around visiting those few places that pop up on the first page of Google, after writing down 'Japan things to see'. After buying the plane ticket (more than a half a year beforehand), the real fun began, as I wanted to pick the most interesting spots to catch a glimpse of. The temples like Fushimi Inari or Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto (which first impressed me in an animated form – through anime Lucky Star), or the memorial plate of my favorite Japanese singer – late Yutaka Ozaki, in Shibuya, Tokyo were on my trip's must-see list from the very beginning, but the rest of the itinerary was a real dilemma. It turned out my knowledge about Japan was mostly based on countless watched anime titles, movies and TV series, and dozens or hundreds of pop and rock bands I listen to. For the next few months, I had to learn a bit more about what Japan is all about, when it comes monuments, and otherwise.
I feel I need to mention this again – and I cannot stress it enough – at the age of 27, it was my first ever travel abroad, the first plane flight ever, the first such a long vacation out of home, and the first thing ever which I've planned in its entirety. Looking back on it, I believe I've done a decent job – however in retrospect, I have to admit the whole travel had a pretty intense tempo – together with a friend who decided to accompany me (almost in the very last moment )for 2/3 of my wandering around Japan, we often did more than 20 kilometers on foot daily, + hundreds of kilometers on trains. Considering my homebody character, it was quite a substantial change of the lifestyle (at least temporarily).
Apart from the places, which every tourist really has to see, like Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akihabara or Asakusa in Tokyo, Kyoto temples, Osaka city center, or the Museum and Peace Park in Hiroshima, I decided to pay a visit to few less obvious cities – Matsumoto in Japanese Alps, Takayama (tempted by a certain Polish blogger), Kanazawa, Sendai, Yamadera and a city of Niigata. As I pumped in so many locations into a 19-day plan, I made us change hotels very frequently. I soon realized that it was a pretty grave mistake, which I will definitely not make in the future. Constant packing up was a real pain in the ass, although I'll never say I regret the whole ordeal – if I were to spend my life trip being bored out my mind somewhere, with nothing to do or see, now that would be a true reason to be mad with yourself.
Before the travel to Japan, the concept of 'jetlag' had sounded weird, and not exactly understandable, but when I landed just around 9 am in Japan (1 am next day Polish time) after a 10,5-hour-long flight, I was a zombie. A happy zombie, but a tired one, exhausted like a horse used in western movies. The airport in Narita wasn't packed with people at the time, so the procedures were done extremely efficiently. Picking up a portable wifi from the post office and JR Pass and Skyliner ticket to Tokyo took very little time – and the ladies from the desk staff gave me a foretaste of the famous Japanese kindness and friendliness, which basically followed me around during the upcoming weeks. Soon after I was sitting in a cozy Japanese train for the first time, glancing at the world behind the window. I had tons of information and images to process in my head, though I was staying strangely relaxed – the travel from the countryside village I live in to Warsaw was more stressful than the fact that I'm thousands of kilometers away from home now.
Be it at work or at home, I always try to avoid responsibilities (even when it's time to order the pizza, I'm never the one to make the call, I'd rather not it eat at all), while in Japan planning and organizing stuff came to me easily. Unfortunately, soon after my return I realized it's not so easy to change one's life and the old habits.
My hotel in Tokyo was located kind of far away from the actual city center (if there is such thing there), it was close to Asakusa, Ueno and Yanaka though, in between Nippori and Uguisudani stations on JR line. It meant 30 minutes ride to Shibuya Station, although commuting was never particularly bothersome, especially since we got ourselves the Suica cards (our JP Passes got activated only after we left Tokyo). Lugging my suitcase from Nippori to my hotel, the internet and Google Maps immediately came in handy, as the hotel was a bit out of the way, amidst narrow streets stuffed with love hotels. In the morning or in the evening, during the 5 days in Tokyo I was regularly seeing Japanese pairs going in or out of those sparkly, luxurious/kitsch-looking buildings.
Most of my friends and family members was convinced that 'with your English you'll have it easy there for sure', though the internet sources warned that it's not that simple to converse with the Japanese. For this reason, among few others, those several months spent on the preparations for the trip gave me lots of calm – things like JR Pass or Suica mentioned before, or learning quite a lot of vocabulary and sentences in Japanese proved to be a huge headstart – without these it could have been difficult in the beginning. With my research, we could easily jump into the whirl of sightseeing with no worries. The Japanese folks we've encountered spoke little to no English, or felt embarrassed to talk (there were few exceptions) – in my hotel in Tokyo, the reception lady was extremely kind, but didn't speak any English- my caveman-like Japanese was useful time and time again. I'm definitely generalizing to some degree, but at certain point I felt how difficult it is to approach some Mr. Miyagi and befriend him (unless alcohol and good humor come into the equation – suddenly all language and culture barriers did not have any meaning).
As much as I did not have much luck with speaking to the Japanese in English, the country is prepared extremely well to host foreign tourists, even those not exactly sharp – the train stations and pretty much everything else has directions written in English, most of restaurants have English menus (though they often may lack some delicious stuff translated so it's better to consult Japanese menu as well). Getting/charging a Suica from a machine like that was also easy as hell.
Although I was darn delighted taking first steps in Asakusa and admiring the temple buildings there, the jetlag was effective at damaging my well-being – the short nap around noon helped only slightly. In spite of that, I decided that I have to survive until the evening, and there was no other way. The first Japanese ramen was not heavenly in taste, but shochu turned out to be quite kicking, and Japanese alcohol stayed in our menu for every evening (usually we did not go too far).
The climate of Japanese restaurants and bars is one of the things I miss a lot
Months of planning is one thing, but spontaneous situations did happen frequently – it's all good.
As a man, who hasn't seen much in his lifetime, few days into the trip I accepted the fact that I caught a travel bug (which in June has been painfully squashed, as I broke my leg and now I can only write about my insignificant experiences).

[IWS] Towers Watson: EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION & NEW STANDARDS [2 June 2010]

Press Release 2 June 2010
Understanding 'The New Standards' in Executive Compensation Equips Leaders With Blueprint for Designing Effective Pay Structures
New Book From Towers Watson Expert Highlights Methods for Linking Business Performance and Executive Incentive Pay
NEW YORK, N.Y., June 2, 2010 — Companies are paying closer attention to executive compensation than ever before — in response to growing scrutiny from shareholders, the federal government and others. With stakeholders demanding closer alignment of pay and performance, boards and compensation committees are under intense pressure to ensure that their executive incentive plans are well designed and deliver appropriate rewards for achieving corporate objectives. According to a new book by Towers Watson (NYSE, NASDAQ: TW) consultant Richard N. Ericson, companies should recraft their incentive pay structures to respond to a dramatically changed set of standards and expectations.
In The New Standards: Methods for Linking Business Performance and Executive Incentive Pay, author Ericson equips compensation and finance leaders and professionals with a pragmatic blueprint. He shows how to create enduring incentive structures that can adapt to a wide range of business conditions and market events to provide the greatest business impact and maximum return on investment.
The book authoritatively discusses:
How to design senior management incentive plans that encourage long-term, high-quality business results
How basic principles of finance and valuation can be used to select performance metrics, establish performance targets and calibrate incentive payouts
Why companies should use incentive pay for senior management as a proactive business governance tool specifically designed to increase business performance
Ways to design and stress-test incentives to ensure that they do not encourage improper risk taking or undue risk aversion
"Every year, companies spend millions of dollars on executive incentives. All too often, however, these programs provide a weak link between pay and performance. Executives may be rewarded for bad decisions as they are for good ones," said Ericson. "The key to this book is the fundamental examples and methods it provides. Based on timely market data, the book is highly relevant for the compensation, finance and board member audience. It provides essential advice and tools for linking proper financial goals with incentive pay."
About the Author
Richard N. Ericson is an executive compensation consultant at Towers Watson, where he specializes in management and reward systems emphasizing principles of shareholder value creation. He has more than 25 years of experience in business valuation, performance standard setting and incentive design. He holds an M.B.A. in finance from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.
