From trying out pottery during an after-work evening class, to making it to the final round of auditions for last year's The Great Pottery Showdown, Kara Leigh Ford's journey to becoming a full-time potter, creating stunning pieces inspired by her love of the sea, is both uplifting and inspirational. Who hasn't dreamt of giving up the 9 to 5 for a new life?
We are huge fans of her beautifully made work, which fuses a fresh, modern, Scandinavian-style colour palette with organic forms. The glazes and hand-thrown nature of Kara's work makes it invitingly tactile; making everyday routines that bit more special. I won't be parted from my chalk white mug; using it for my morning cuppa makes me smile every time and I couldn't resist the opportunity to find out a bit about the story behind Kara's work, the journey she took to get to where she is and what inspires her lovely pieces.
Hello Kara. Thanks for talking to us about your work. Let's kick-off with an easy one! Which 3 words would you use to best describe your work? Hello! It's a pleasure! Let me think … Modern, Rustic, Organic.
What led you to choose clay as a medium? Did you try any other crafts before focusing on ceramics? I did my degree in fine art, training as a painter, and even though I enjoyed it, it wasn't 'immediate' enough for me. The joy of ceramics is that a lump of clay can be transformed into a recognisable shape very quickly. Granted the drying and firing is time consuming, but the kiln-opening moment is also a moment of instant gratification (or commiseration)!
And can you describe the journey you took from your first experiences using clay, to where you are today, creating beautiful ceramics as a full-time job? I started pottery at evening classes. I was working in an office at the time and needed a creative outlet. I was hooked from the start! I slowly built up equipment; buying a second hand wheel from a potter who was getting rid of his entire studio, he gave me lots of glazes and tools at the same time. When we bought our current house I was super lucky that it came with an outside office (or maybe it was more like a shed!). I decided this would be my studio. I knew it was getting serious when I got to the point that buying a kiln would be cheaper than paying for firings. I also applied to the Great Pottery Throw Down last year and I got through to the final 20 auditionees. That experience gave me such a confidence boost and I decided the time was right to go full-time.
I'm always fascinated by maker's studios and the way they create spaces to enable them to carry out their work. Can you tell us a bit about your workspace and how it is set-up to suit you. My studio is in my garden. It's 6ft by 12ft and painted like a beach hut. It just about fits everything I need although I do have a second storage shed for storing packaging.
Do you have an underlying philosophy or attitude to your craft that informs your work? I hope that I will never stop learning. Giving myself the time and space to grow my practice is important. Pottery is such a diverse discipline, there are so many new things to learn. Also I try not to rush things – mistakes happen when pottery is rushed.
What would you describe as the main challenges you face in your work? At the moment my main challenge is building up stock levels. I work on a made to order basis, but I am trying to make items to hold in stock at the same time. It's tricky – as as soon as I make things they seem to sell – which is great! I will need to invest in a bigger kiln in the next few years.
And what do you feel are the best things about what you do? I love making things with my hands. I find it challenging, exciting, engrossing; it's different everyday. Only about 50% of my time is spent actually sat at my wheel making, the rest of it is spent on packing-up orders, taking photos of my work, writing listings, social media, answering enquiries and researching. I also love speaking to customers and hearing their ideas.
What advice would you give to people just starting out or interested in making? I totally understand how scary it is to put your work out there, but I would say just go for it! Before I started selling I was scared stiff of showing anyone my pottery, my theory being, if I didn't share it, it couldn't be criticised – but then it couldn't be loved either. Selling my work has only built my confidence. Granted, I have grown a bit of a thicker skin too. Just remind yourself that for every person who doesn't like what you do, there will be a ton of people who love it.
Are there any craftsmen or designers who have particularly inspired or influenced you or your work? I love the work of Norman Yapp. I find his methods of making pottery inspiring. He only fires his work once, which is a risky process – I admire his guts. Grayson Perry is also inspiring as a potter who won the Turner Prize. I also follow many ceramicists on Instagram, too many to mention but all are inspiring in their own way.
What is your favourite artwork? Through studying fine art, I developed a love of many artists and my taste is very varied. From Egon Schiele to the Brit artists; Tracey Emin, Damien Hurst, Rachel Whiteread etc, I love them all… but if I had to have a piece on my wall, I think it would have to be a bit more restful; maybe something by Georgia O'Keefe – her landscapes are stunning.
What is your favourite piece of design; be it architecture or product design? Living near the city of Bath, I have a great appreciation for Georgian architecture. I am drawn to anything old, anything that has a story.
What style of home décor do you find the most exciting at the moment and what style are you drawn to when decorating your own home? Personally I prefer rustic and cosy to neat and minimal. Classic coastal style appeals to me greatly, reminding me of childhood holidays by the sea. The most important thing for me is for a house to be homely. A beautiful farmhouse table or oak door I find irresistible. I love handmade items too (obviously), anything in which the spirit of the maker can be seen. My house is a tiny old blacksmith's cottage, with oak beams and a low ceiling – it's very cosy. I love greys and have painted our living room with a palette of gorgeous soft greys from Farrow and Ball.
Thanks so much for talking to us Kara. Can we ask what's next for Kara Leigh Ford Ceramics? I want to expand my dinnerware offering and make side plates and bowls to match my dinner plates. I also need to save up for a bigger kiln!

If you're interested in 1930s American and French fashion, read Fashion is Spinach! I highly recommend this brilliant (and witty!) autobiographical analysis of the fashion industry by American clothing designer Elizabeth Hawes (1903-1971). Hawes began her fashion career in Paris working in a dressmakers' shop that produced copies of high quality haute couture dresses. She later moved to New York city to start her own fashion label, Hawes Inc. Over time, Hawes became known for her radical and outspoken philosophy of fashion. She encouraged women and men to dress in what they found comfortable rather than in what was dictated to them by the fashion world. She used high-quality fabrics to make well-sewn and well-fitted clothing while the rest of the American fashion industry dove into mass production. Hawes criticized mass production for its emergence of cheap, synthetic fabrics and poor fitted clothing. She concludes that the fashion industry is not in the business of consumer comfort or health- its only interest is in making sales. Her criticisms from 1938 are still relevant... maybe fashion IS spinach?! Read for yourself!
Elizabeth Hawes, 1938

The person that is posting about the 40K is right! That's the average salary for a telephone rep. I calculated the whole company's salaries! There are also premise rep positions. They make more. (If you want to work 12 hours a day.) It's not worth it.
If anyone is seeking a job in internet marketing or internet sales, you may have come across jobs at Yellowpages.com. Yellowpages.com is a reputable company with some decent people to work with . Howver, don't be fooled if you are hearing promises of an average salary of $75K a year. The top couple reps in the company can make that much. The truth is, most reps are really doing the job of a telemarketer. If you do not "pound the phones" and sell hard, you will not make it. Most people there are struggling just to make $40K a year.
If the managers tell you that you are not bound by rules and you can "sell to anyone" you are again being fooled. There are territories, you cannot sell to ad agencies, and if you are in Henderson, NV you cannot sell to Nevada or California (among many other states).
In this position, you have to be a stellar sales person and enjoy being on the phone all day long. You should be making at least 500 calls a day to make a decent living. The reps that make good money work their tales off and have been there for over a year.
If you are considering a job at Yellowpages.com DO NOT give up anything great that you already have. They hire every couple of months due to a high turnover and LAYOFFS. They also do not provide you with supplies. I'm serious!
They DO NOT have a coaching plan like they promise. I am an example. They decided to due a massive layoff in December 2007 and gave me one day to sell over a month's worth of ads or I would be fired. Even the top rep told me it was next to impossible. They conveniently fired me before my three motnh anniversary. Just two months on the floor after training. So much for a company that is different, and "cares" about their employees.

Nice double post.
Starting salary for a telephone rep in Henderson is 26k plus commission. Base salary goes up a little your 2nd year, and so on, up to $30k. Premise reps start around 56k plus commission. If you only make 14k over your salary in comission, no wonder you got fired. If you make 70% of minimum quota every month (which, if you did, you'd get fired - but assuming you somehow didn't) and made middle of the road deal count, that's just about $14k in commission. So - to make $40,000, you'd have to get fired, lol.
As of 2-29-08, My YTD is a tad over $10,800. Since I already know what my commision will be next month (this months sales), I know that on 3-28 my YTD will be between $17,500 and $18,000. I am not even close to being the trop of the food chain. $18k x 3 more quarters = $72,000. Wow - look at that. I guess I'm average. LMAO
If you make minimums as a rep, you'll make over $50,000. End of story. If you're making less than that, you're going to be fired for non-production. I made $45k my first year and came VERY close to being let go. Absolute dumb luck and getting my numbers up at the right time that I wasn't. How's that different from any other sales organization?
AVERAGE is 72-76k. You forget that there are a few who skew the numbers higher. TODAY there was one rep who got a check for $39,000 before taxes, another over $20,000, and another over $15,000. That makes up for a lot of people making $1,500 or so when you do an average. And ANYONE with skill and work ethic can make that much here. Anyone who says otherwise is just bitter, end of story.

Benifits include full medical, dental, vision, life, and more starting the first day of the month following your hire date. Company pays 80% premiums. Pretty good package, too. Hard to beat, especially in Las Vegas, especially in sales.
ANyone going to try and argue with that, too? LOL

Hey Hey Firewalker! Nice to hear from a new person! All this bitterness in these posts is scary! I had the observation day on Monday. A very long day. I inteviewed with an HR director out of Philly Monday evening. This is the second interview. I have a ride-a-long this Friday. I had the pleasure of observing sales calls on Monday. One of the let downs is the reps are on top of each other in these tiny offices in Richmond. Practically back to back. That is a bit annoying. But had the pleasure of observing what I thought to be 4 of the best in the office. Their demeanor ROCKED and they got their appointments as planned. I have asked to ride along with one of these folks on Friday. Here's hoping! Just listening in to all of them on Monday, some people have it and some people DON'T! Amazing! Tell me what happened with your meeting! (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Right now, I'm coming from mortgage, making $170K in 2006 but closed my company in 2007. Now I'm at a job making 70K salary but the commissions aren't significant enough to make the money I need so I'm looking at Yellowpages.com. I've been told that the salary is 50K, not 60K. Are you interviewing in Seattle for the Account Manager position? If so, how do you negotiate the increased salary?

Anyone care to comment on the IT jobs at YellowPages.com? I noticed they have some Sysadmin jobs available & was considering interviewing them for my open position of Sr. Paycheck Provider. I have a friend who is making $94K as a Windows Systems Administrator at a different job & she says that this is even low compared to what YP pays. She said this person she knows got a $20K signing bonus to boot. What kind of perks can one expect over there? What is the neighborhood like in terms of coffe shops, restaurants, etc?

I used to work in outside sales before I got laid off a year and 1/2 ago. Now I am working in inside sales and I am bored out of my mind. I make hald the money I used to, not even enough to really pay the bills, so I am considering working in outside sales again. I interviewed with Yellowbook last year, but was unsure about the company and making only $24,000 base salary. Even with the car allowance, it would only be around $32,000-$33,000 plus bonuses and commission. Right now I make more than that and I am struggling. I know that with commissions and bonuses, the possibility of me making a lot more than that is good. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do not work for them.
Most people only last a few months so what they say about your yearly salary is a lie. While you work there they will abuse you all day long.
If you do start to make good money and residuals they will fire you to give your big accounts to people who have been there for years.

Future of TV in 4 letters
Television technology has come a long way, transforming not just the way we consume our entertainment, but also the formats in which media is broadcasted or streamed. Today, TVs can do a lot more than just display our favourite shows, says DEAN DAFFUE, GTM manager at LG Electronics SA.
Today, consumers demand TVs that are not just slim, but so thin that they are like paintings on walls. TVs have become an element of décor that can seamlessly integrate into the design of a home, and render the clearest, sharpest images, with the deepest blacks and crispest whites without compromising on resolution. Home cinema is not just about the picture anymore. Consumers are eyeing TVs that would be able to learn usage patterns and automatically suggest entertainment based on individual preferences. The switch from LCD to LED transformed TV design, allowing for lighter, thinner and easily wall-mountable frames, housing even more sophisticated display tech. The picture quality also dramatically improved with new contrast ratios rendering more vivid colours, deeper blacks and crisper whites. But they were still more functional than aesthetic.
As larger segments of the population embraced internet connectivity and streaming content, the TV became smarter, integrating content-streaming apps for a more seamless viewing experience. As Internet Service Providers (ISPs) upgraded their infrastructures to accommodate the growth in streaming services, TV manufacturers also upgraded their TVs' ability to tap into different types of content.
In the future, TVs with built in Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be able to learn usage patterns and automatically switch modes based on user preference, and even take instructions from multiple users as TVs become increasingly connected to digital home assistant systems.
Six years on, and we see the evolution that continues to lead in the OLED TV market, LG is racking up awards and accolades for its innovative OLED TVs. This pioneering effort in the design and manufacturing of OLED TVs has culminated in complete dominance of the OLED market, leaving the pinnacle challenge of innovation in display technology, redefining the TV viewing experience, and its place in your home. Great efforts have been made on OLED technology being affordable and accessible, allowing more people to enjoy a better-quality television experience than before. No TV is a greater testament to this than last year's award-winning LG SIGNATURE W7 – also known as wallpaper.
As South Africans are continuously looking for 'an experience that amazes', OLED TVs are considered by industry experts to offer the most advanced display technology. As each pixel on the display can be individually switched on and off, OLED offers enhanced picture quality without image degradation. This results in the highest quality image rendering with the purest blacks. With its myriad advantages, OLED panels have become the most desired display technology today and it has become a leading force in making this technology even more ubiquitous and accessible.
With support for both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, LG OLED TV is the first of its kind to offer a premium cinema experience in the comfort of your home. It also features Active HDR technology, which optimises HDR picture quality scene-by-scene, rendering brighter scenes and greater shadow detail for a life-like viewing experience.
Despite the market dominance, the development of newer, more innovative technologies does not stop. This year a staggering number of innovative display technologies were unveiled, such as future display technology like roll-able OLED screens and large format curved displays that will become the future of wall art.
AI is also set to make an appearance. There is a unique and personalised AI services built on the deep learning-based DeepThinQ technology, in cooperation with other AI service providers such as Google, giving AI TVs the ability to automatically adjust the settings to Game Mode, or Sports Mode based on whether a user is currently playing Xbox or watching a football match. Ultimately, AI TV will provide care and comfort to users' mind and body by learning more about its users' viewing habits.
What does this all mean for consumers? With continued innovation and development of display technologies, as well as advanced design, AI, premium audio integration and support for the latest resolutions, colour and High Dynamic Range (HDR) standards, the TV will no longer be a display, but a complete home viewing experience. This is what new ranges of OLED TVs will bring to fruition in the coming months, making it the ideal time to upgrade your TV to the ultimate home entertainment experience.
Game of screens
When it comes to the ultimate home entertainment experience, what you watch is just as important as how you watch it. With streaming services like Netflix keeping people glued to their screens people are paying a lot more attention to the overall home viewing experience.
Flat panel TV screens have long been favoured as the most cost-efficient and appropriate option for everyday home entertainment. However, more and more people are investing in projectors and fully kitted-out home theatre systems to enhance the experience, as proven by the 28% global market growth of home-used projectors over the past five years. However, choosing between the myriad of options on the market today can be challenging.
Money matters
When it comes to affordability, TVs are certainly becoming more accessible than ever. Where plasma screens were once the talk of the town, and features like HD quality and larger screen size only added more zeroes to the price, today's LED and OLED models are far more accessible and affordable for everyone – despite offering even more technologically advanced features, which is the biggest reason why people generally opt for TVs.
However, projectors have become more affordable too, and are just as easy to use. The cutting-edge models available now are a far cry from the clunky ones with poor display quality of the previous tech era. For instance, the full HD Epson TW-600 series offers everything you would expect from high-end projectors – three-times brighter, crystal clear display thanks to 3LCD technology, built-in Wi-Fi, 11 years of lamp life and a great warranty offer – at a much more attractive price point compared to other projectors on the market. Unlike TVs, however, the projectors offer an immersive, real-life experience that TVs simply can't match.
Screen size and quality
While the cost is almost always the first factor that people consider when purchasing a home entertainment system, factors like quality and screen size are often a close second and third.
On the one hand, LED TVs are great all-rounders for sport, movies, normal TV and gaming, and offer pretty much all the average person needs in terms of a home viewing experience that ranges from adequate to impressive. There are a variety of LED TV models currently on the market that offer great resolutions and good contrast ratios, but TV screens are still limited in terms of size, which impacts the overall viewing experience.
Projectors offer all the benefits of an LED TV with the added benefit of a huge, movie-theatre like screen to enjoy in the comfort of your home. Projectors are also capable of projecting high definition content onto a surface of anywhere from 30 inches right up to 300 inches, allowing you to choose your screen size depending on your requirements.
In terms of quality, 3LCD technology, as offered by world-leading technology brand Epson, is the most popular projector technology available on the market making up more than 69% of all projectors sold worldwide. This technology offers a clearer, crisper image, showing more detail while allowing for smoother motion on-screen and more vibrant, differentiated colours.
Choosing the best screen option for your dream home theatre setup is a decision that's best made after careful consideration of the options that are currently available. And while the average flat panel TV screen display has certainly improved over the years in terms of technology and affordability, projection technology is cutting edge, and these nifty devices are now more accessible and desirable than ever.
CES: New TV standard released
The Advanced Television Systems Committee has approved the release of ATSC 3.0, a range of TV standards that will give broadcasters the ability to deliver 4K Ultra HDTV and interactive services using a mix of Internet and broadcast connections.
The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) has commemorated the achievement of a major milestone in TV history, with final member votes being tallied for approval of remaining standards that together comprise the ATSC 3.0 suite of next-generation TV standards.
Announced at CES 2018, running at Las Vegas, the release of ATSC 3.0 is the culmination of a five-year effort to re-think over-the-air broadcast television service in the Internet age. ATSC 3.0 provides broadcasters with remarkable flexibility and new market opportunities through enhanced transmission and reception functionality and delivery of 4K Ultra HDTV, immersive audio, and interactive services using a mix of Internet and broadcast connections.
Marking the milestone today at CES, ATSC President Mark Richer was joined onstage by Consumer Technology Association President and CEO Gary Shapiro, National Association of Broadcasters President and CEO Gordon Smith.
"Our suite of ATSC 3.0 standards paves the way for a new kind of television service, one that is far more flexible and adaptable than previous standards. ATSC 3.0 will bring historic innovations to broadcasters and to viewers, from robust transmission to immersive audio, and from 4K Ultra-HDTV to interactive services and more. The 20 individual standards that comprise the release of ATSC 3.0 will give broadcasters the ability to utilize new transmission methods and finally bring together innovations in both over-the-air and broadband services," said ATSC President Mark Richer.
"ATSC looks forward to continuing work on the standard, including its deployment in initial markets and future enhancements. We remain uniquely positioned to support the first trial launches of ATSC 3.0 services and products beginning this year. In addition to our ongoing standards work, the ATSC has a very important role in educating stakeholders about how the technology works and assisting in implementation planning in the U.S. and other parts of the world," Richer said.
South Korean broadcasters initiated ATSC 3.0 broadcast service focused on Ultra HDTV last year and plan to transmit next month's XXIII Winter Olympics in PyeongChang using the new standard. American broadcasters hail the new standard and its Internet Protocol backbone, which opens the doors for new opportunities.
Marriage of Broadcast and Broadband
"Broadcasters stand ready to take full advantage of the capabilities of the new voluntary standard, which can seamlessly mix both broadcast and broadband content to deliver enhanced information and entertainment for our viewers. One of the most compelling new features of ATSC 3.0 will be the rich media emergency alerting capabilities, allowing local broadcasters to target viewers in specific areas in their markets when disaster looms. Our viewers depend on their local stations for breaking news and information, and ATSC 3.0 gives local stations the ability to merge resources and information like never before," said Gordon Smith, President and CEO of the National Association of Broadcasters.
With the release of ATSC 3.0 on the opening day of CES 2018 in Las Vegas, the technology industry looks ahead to the new year. ATSC 3.0 is expected to be demonstrated in private suites and in various behind-the-scenes demonstrations at the annual CES, with consumer products more likely to be introduced in 2019 or 2020.
"Coupled with the latest innovations in display and audio technology, Next Gen TV, powered by ATSC 3.0, will offer a breathtakingly immersive viewing experience with access to an array of innovative and interactive information services," said Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association. "While we forecast sales of digital displays to increase in 2018, we anticipate future growth will be driven in part by this exciting new technology and the amazing features it brings."
U.S. Deployment Begins Soon
"Going forward, I see the ATSC as an important information center for broadcasters and manufacturers preparing to launch services and products," said ATSC Board Chairman Richard Friedel, Executive Vice President and General Manager for FOX Networks Engineering & Operations. "That means exciting opportunities for our members to get engaged in field testing, broadcast trials and plug-fests this year. There will also be opportunities to contribute to important new work on conformance and compliance, privacy and security, and more."

I have been doing aerial (think Cirque du Soleil) for about 5 months now. I met an amazing group of people through the class I joined to learn aerial techniques. Recently, they opened up a kid's class, and I was excited to maybe have my kids share this fun art with me. It took a lot of convincing, because of the height and the whole "I can't do that!", and I explained that Mom wasn't able to do anything until I tried, either.
M has watched me practice a few things at home, so when I brought it up again, she decided she would like to try. Assuming that J wouldn't want to still, I asked him, and he said "you know, why not try". *PROUD*
Every day that we got closer to class, M kept telling me she was so excited to go. They had been in to watch a few classes with me over the summer, so they got to meet a few of the instructors, and I think that helped out a lot.
For this class, the amazing Mikah and Jen were so awesome with them, and the entire class. They learned climbing the silk, some acro yoga poses (something I have never done myself), and even got to go on the cube (something I had only done just the day before!)
They came out of it very excited to do it some more, and even J said he would like to try one more time.

>Sigh. Whatever we do we violate a spec. I guess I would give the FTP one >less weight, but... I'm not sure the URL one completely makes sense. Don't use RFC 1738 as a reference for anything. It doesn't reflect reality and should have been replaced long ago. If you want to know what the URI/URL syntax is, see http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/url/ For the "ftp" URL, the only usable description is within the W3C libwww library (i.e., read the code, because the spec is crap). I wrote down why it is crap about three years ago (when RFC 1738 was being reviewed by the IESG), but I can't find that message now. Basically, you want to try the longest path first, then longest CWD, then trim it backwords until you either succeed or figure out why it is failing. Individual CWDs do not work because some FTP servers do not allow the client to do so. Henrik Frystyk is probably the only person who can describe it correctly. The individual scheme descriptions are supposed to be updated once the generic syntax document is approved. ....Roy

Meaghan and I watched Ace of Cakes1 last night. It was a particularly interesting episode as they were making cakes for Cirque du Soleil and a pair of Dunny-loving triathletes.
After watching the episode, it got me to thinking - why isn't there a television station just for super-awkward white people?
Thus, I introduce WPET - White Person Entertainment Television. The programming will consist of one hour featuring The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, 11.5 hours of Ace of Cakes, and 11.5 hours of Michael Cera programming. Most watched television network2 ever.
1 - An alternate title would be "Super-Awkward White People Make Awesome Cakes"
2 - Watched online, of course

BERLIN (Reuters) - Kosovo has been granted provisional recognition by the International Olympic Committee and could achieve full membership as early as December, the IOC said in a statement on Wednesday.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, almost a decade after NATO went to war to halt the massacre and expulsion of Albanians by Serbian forces waging a two-year counter-insurgency under late strongman Slobodan Milosevic.
Belgrade refuses to recognize Kosovo, saying the territory, which has a majority Albanian population, is a heartland of the Serbian nation.

Israeli special forces received intelligence last week that chemical munitions in Syria are being moved to new locations.
The Israeli spies are operating as spotters in Syria to track the location of Bashar al-Assad's stocks of chemical and biological weapons, the Australian reports.
"For years we've known the exact location of Syria's chemical and biological munitions," an Israeli source said, according to the Australian. "But in the past week we've got signs that munitions have been moved to new locations."
Western intelligence agencies started monitoring Syria's weapons program in the late 1980s after receiving reports of biological and chemical weapons. Biological weapons may be a part of Syria's conventional arsenal, which could make the country more likely to use the deadly arsenal.
"It's just another type of weapon for the regime and they may not make the moral distinctions we do," Jill Bellamy-van Aalst, a former bio-defense consultant to NATO, said, according to the Australian.
Israel may have been responsible for a July 2007 explosion at a weapons depot in al-Safir. The explosion occurred just as Syrian and Iranian engineers fitted a nerve gas warhead to a Scud missile. Fifteen Syrians and 10 Iranian engineers died after gas escaped.
While Israel never admitted responsibility, an Israeli minister referred to the explosion as a wonderful accident, the Australian reports.

We get a lot of questions on the how's and why's of Reiki and other Spiritual techniques. The biggest question is always 'does it work?' and sometimes 'can you guarantee that it will work?'. The answer from us is that it works for us, it works for all the people who believe that it works. We undertake no guarantees but are putting our money where our mouth is, by saying pay when you feel that it worked for you
The word Reiki is composed of two Japanese words – Rei and Ki. Rei – Ray – Ra has been used across cultures and civilizations to mean light, radiance, inner light, god and so on. Ki or Chi or Prana, is the life force energy that flows within us.
Reiki literally means the universal energy or God's own energy flowing through us. And that is what Reiki does – it allows the universal energy to flow within our subtle bodies, clearing it energetically.
Ki flows in everything, including plants, animals, and humans. When a person's Ki is high, we have a feeling of well being, feel confident and enjoy life. When it is low, we feel weak and are more likely to get sick. We receive Ki from the air we breathe, from food, sunshine and sleep.
Rei-ki energy has an intelligence of its own flowing where it is needed creating the healing conditions necessary for the individuals needs. It is not guided by the mind, therefore it is not limited by the experience or ability of the practitioner. Neither can it be misused as it always creates a healing effect.
NO! No matter what someone tells you, you should never stop any medical treatment. Sometimes the effects of Reiki can be that you find out about a new treatment or you end up going to a doctor. The energy will direct you to the best course of action so be aware of the messages from the divine.
Be open to receiving :). Keep your thoughts positive. Be aware of the messages from the universe.
Yes, animals respond wonderfully to Reiki as they much more attuned to the universe than we are.
Yes, Laptops have been known to work and stalled cars as well. Meetings can be more successful.
Our Reiki showers have 2 or more Reiki practitioners sending beautiful Reiki energy your way. We have experienced that the energy gets amplified when we gather together for a Reiki session. And this is our offer to the universe.

Channeling is a natural form of communication between humans and angelic beings, nature spirits, non-physical entities or even animals and pets. Think of a channeler as a translator or interpreter or maybe a radio. They allow themselves to feel or sense the communication from the other being, catching the message from the universe at a different frequency.
Like with most Spiritual work, it is all up to the receiver.
Some of the Sites that we love are Reiki.org and Reikirays.com. Do check them out if you can.
We are based in Goa, Mumbai and Ahmednagar. Do call us or write to us if you want a face- to-face session.

About six months ago, my husband had a heart attack. It was totally out of the blue, and I was horribly shocked. The truth was that I almost lost in, and that day has stayed with me ever since. It was a horrible thing to have to go through, and I still can't believe it happened. What we did not know was that my husband had a genetic heart fault which could not be detected. By the time he got to the hospital, he wasn't breathing on his own, and it was a very scary experience. However, the staff at the hospital managed to save his life and I will forever be in there debt. Life will probably never be the same again, but at least he is still here, and we can wake up together hand in hand. As long as I can feel him breathing next to me in the night, I am okay.
Living with loss is very difficult, but living with I almost lost you can be just as difficult as relayed at Escorts in London. Lots of people have lost a family member suddenly, and it is almost like it is easier to move on from this event. Moving on with the idea of almost have lost somebody, can be a lot more difficult. You will be coping with emotions and feelings which are very difficult to deal with. One minute you will be angry that it happened, the next minute you will be grateful that the person is alive. A very tough set of circumstances to comprehend and to deal with.
Almost losing somebody often means there has been a serious accident, or a sudden death in the family. You may have to spend hours at the hospital, and waiting anxiously is often part of the parcel. A lot of people compare this to grieving when in fact they are anxiously waiting for a positive outcome. What if looms large over that hospital bed, and all sorts of case scenarios go through your head. Support is vital and you should not have to cope with this situation on your own.
When the person recovers and comes home, you will probably feel a huge need to change your life. It may be tempting, but it is best to think things through. What do you actually want to do, and what do you need to do? These are two very important points to consider. The best way forward is to talk to each other, and see how you feel about things.
Moving on from this situation is very difficult, and you will probably change all of your priorities in life. That is not always easy to do if there is a family involved. Talking helps and gradually you can start to build up confidence in your life again. Once you have achieved that, you can start to talk about moving on and how you are going to do that.
The most important thing is to appreciate and to take stock of what you have. If, you are lucky enough to be able to do exactly what you want for the rest of your lives that is exactly what you should do. As long as you make the right decision, you should be able to move forward and remember what almost happened, but do not live with it on an everyday basis.

Pinch an inch? Yank a yard, more like. I know I stuffed myself silly with cheesy crepes for dinner last night, and the rest of that traybake but seeing 13 stone 6.75lbs on the scales this morning still gave me a bit of a shock.
2.5lbs on in one week. I am pissed off with myself. Blah blah blah.
Apart from almost being sick at CrossFit last night (two others actually were) and having to lie down as I was so lightheaded, I am actually pretty fit right now. I can run a 5k in under 35 mins. I can cycle for miles and miles. I can squat 60k. But I am fat. And I am pissed off. I am also all over the place with my thoughts.
- It's the first of a new month - time for a fresh start
- I'm going camping this weekend, what's the point in starting before then
- Two weeks of careful eating could make me feel 100 x better
- I'm going to be living with TB's folks for 3 weeks - how will I cope with that
- I've got a month left of CrossFit before we move out the city - I should make the most of it
- I need to exercise more
- I exercise less and fill in the gaps with food
- So busy just now. I need time to plan
- Busy is good - no time to be distracted by food and sitting on my arse
And so it goes on back and forth. Of course, the day has started off well - as it usually does - boiled egg for breakfast. Lunch is a chicken and avocado salad. Dinner - no idea as yet. I have to keep trying though. I'm never going to give up entirely but that doesn't mean I'm going to get handle on things and actually lose the half a stone (and the rest) that would make me feel SO much better.

First, a Little History
Originally, strawberries were wild things. Their unique flavor and sweetness led to their cultivation. At Monticello, Thomas Jefferson grew Alpine Strawberries, a European import, among other varieties and shared the seeds with his friends. The plants were hardy and delicious, but the berries were tiny. Jefferson remarked that "100 would fill half a pint." Wild strawberries grew freely in abandoned fields and woods and were gathered by Indians and colonists alike.
Blogs, a contraction of "Weblogs," are the common person's publishing tool. You can sign up for a free blog account today and immediately start publishing your daily journal, random musings, orderly lists of books, or favorite recipes. Anything and everything has been tucked into millions of blogs all over the Web.
Game tickets, antique china, power tools, jewelry, laptops, cars, pianos--they're all available online, new or used, cheap or pricey. If you haven't learned the in's and out's of the online auction yet, this is a good time to start. With the holidays just around the corner, think of online auctions as another option for finding gifts, decorations, and those gotta-have's that always seem to pop up around this time of the year. Have a house bursting at the seams with too much good stuff already? Downsize online, and pick up a little cash to cover the holiday bills.
Often the anguish of death is too much to be borne alone. Deep, seemingly perpetual depression is exhausting to the mind and the body as well as the spirit. Know that there are others who have trod the path of grief and are willing to listen to your thoughts and memories, and that there are others who have written works that may show a healing mirror to your own journey.
A reaction to loss can be rage or tears, years of the silent pain of denial or a dedication to a project in memory of the life of the beloved.
In honor of Women's History Month, the library has compiled a list of resources that focus on women who have overcome adversity, stood up for their beliefs, and risked their personal wellbeing in order to help make the world a better place.
On October 6, 2007, the Fredericksburg Area Museum and Cultural Center, 907 Princess Anne Street, opened a retrospective exhibit of the paintings of Fredericksburg artist John Adams Elder, "Fredericksburg's Artist of the Civil War."
The retrospective exhibit, the first of Elder's work since 1947, included portraits, landscapes and paintings of the Civil War and Southern life. It was on view until September 7, 2008.
The paintings, many of which come from the Library of Virginia's collection, include:
In 1916, Gari Melchers, an internationally famous painter, purchased the Belmont estate in Falmouth, Virginia. With the exception of some European travel in the 1920s, he made this his permanent home during the last decades of his life. Area residents and visitors are privileged to be able to visit this gem of a museum which combines a glimpse of the artist's home life as well as a tour of his studio.
Does hot July find your lawn a patchy, scorched remnant of greener times? Perhaps it bothers you that your green recycling efforts may be countered by the water and chemicals that seem necessary to maintain the visible herbal greenness.
Why Even Have a Lawn?
Well, they're a terrific place for the kids to play. Summer evenings + cool, green lawn + kids = throwing a football. Red Light—Green Light. Badminton. Wading pools. Water games. Tire swings. Firefly captures. Etc.
Is there a forlorn space in your backyard? Does your new house lack individuality? Would you like another option for a children's play area, or do you just want a place to relax and entertain your friends while being a little closer to nature? If you're wistful about the good times you could be having with a bit more room, you might be one of the many folks in our area who are planning on building a deck addition to their homes.

"Although workplace attitudes toward people with disabilities are changing, the unemployment rate among the job-aged disabled population is more than 60 percent, as compared with less than 10 percent among the general population. Two out of three people with disabilities are not working. And of those, two out of three want to work. With roughly $200 billion in benefits being paid out each year to nonworking people with disabilities, it just doesn't make sense for businesses to say they can't afford to accommodate people with disabilities."

News releases concerning Tulane Law School, its faculty, staff, students, and programs are posted here. For more information, please send an email to email@example.com.

Do tax audits actually encourage tax evasion?
Should gains in the value of gifted property be subject to income tax when someone dies?
And what do Uber drivers talk about when they seek tax advice in their online chat communities?
Top scholars from six universities across the United States and Canada will join Tulane faculty to discuss these and other contemporary questions at the Tulane Tax Roundtable March 11 at Tulane Law School.
Now in its sixth year, the roundtable is jointly sponsored by Tulane's Murphy Institute and Tulane Law. The event was co-founded by Law Professor Shu-Yi Oei, the Hoffman F. Fuller Associate Professor of Tax Law, and Economics Professor Steve Sheffrin, director of the Murphy Institute and an affiliated member of the law faculty.
The workshop showcases the drafts and works-in-progress of its participants and provides an opportunity for others in the tax law field to critique the papers. The work is cutting-edge, exploring ways in which tax law is evolving or should be changing.
For instance, Oei's paper, "The Tax Lives of Uber Drivers: Evidence from Internet Discussion Forums," examines "ways in which Uber and Lyft drivers navigate the tax system" and offers suggestions for ways in which taxing entities, such as the Internal Revenue Service, can effectively educate and deal with workers in the booming on-demand ride-hailing business.
This year's presenters include Tulane economists and law faculty, along with law professors from Duke, Georgetown and Harvard universities, the Universities of Miami and Toronto and the University of California, Davis.
Sessions, which run from 8:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. in Weinmann Hall Room 202, are open. But those interested in attending should contact Oei at email@example.com.

List What Processes an Assembly Is Loaded In
You want to know what current processes have a given assembly loaded.
Use the GetProcessesAssemblyIsLoadedIn method that we've created for this purpose to return a list of processes that a given assembly is loaded in. GetProcessesAssemblyIsLoadedIn takes the filename of the assembly to look for (like System.Data.dll), then gets a list of the currently running processes on the machine by calling Process.GetProcesses. It then searches the processes to see if the assembly is loaded into any of them. When found in a process, that Process object is added to a List<Process>. The entire List<Process> is returned once all the processes have been examined.
public static List<Process> GetProcessesAssemblyIsLoadedIn(string assemblyFileName) { List<Process> processList = new List<Process>(); Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses(); foreach (Process p in processes) { foreach (ProcessModule module in p.Modules) { if (module.ModuleName.Equals(assemblyFileName, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) { processList.Add(p); break; } } } return processList; }
In some circumstances, such as when uninstalling software or debugging version conflicts, it is beneficial to know if an assembly is loaded into more than one process. By quickly getting a list of the Process objects that the assembly is loaded in, you can narrow the scope of your investigation.
The following code uses this routine:
string searchAssm = "System.Data.dll"; List<Process> processes = Toolbox.GetProcessesAssemblyIsLoadedIn(searchAssm); foreach (Process p in processes) { Console.WriteLine("Found {0} in {1}",searchAssm, p.MainModule.ModuleName); }
The preceding code might produce output like this (you may see more if you have other applications running):
Found System.Data.dll in WebDev.WebServer.EXE Found System.Data.dll in devenv.exe Found System.Data.dll in CSharpRecipes.vshost.exe
Since this is a diagnostic function, you will need FullTrust security access to use this method.

I think the natural athlete who is aggressive in going to the ball -- rather than letting the ball get deep, can benefit from giving the hands something to do. Rather than try to get the player to do some thing that feels unnatural -- keep his hands quiet, and close to the shoulder as he starts the swing, have the player try the "row & go" swing.
One of my students -- who is prone to hit too far out front, and lunge, has made headway in fixing this problem. Torqueing the bat backwards seems to satisfy the need to activate the hands. In addition, this torque movement establishes momentum of bat barrel rearward -- keeping the hands close to shoulder during launch. The hands near shoulder occurs because of a task given to the hands and arms -- not because hands are told to wait near shoulder.
The result is a more powerful swing that is powered by the bigger muscles in the torso rather than the smaller muscles of the hands and arms.
