How do I stay in touch with my attorney during my case?
You and your attorney should establish your preferred method of communication early in your personal injury case. This is one of the first things you can establish when you're hiring a lawyer. Many attorneys are available via phone far more often than they can meet in person, and some lawyers prefer to correspond via email. In any case, you will have discuss and agree with your lawyer about the method of communication that you both prefer.

The newly appointed Danish Transport Minister Magnus Heunicke is taking over in an exciting period, where massive investments will give the Danish infrastructure a badly needed boost. CMP asked the Minister whether freight transport in the Öresund region will also be accommodated.
How can we strengthen the Öresund region's importance from the Danish side in relation to freight?
"It is important that we have a satisfactory framework within which CMP can develop its operations. As Minister for Transport, I can be involved in this. However, the port is also responsible for developing and investing in those business areas which it deems to have long-term perspectives. It is important for growth in the region that the port is doing well".
Investment in growth is taking place on both sides of the Sound. Can CMP position itself as a strong strategic partner?
"I feel it is positive that CMP is investing in the long-term on both sides of the Sound. We know that the volume of goods will increase in the future, and CMP's plans to expand terminals on both the Danish and the Swedish side provides an opportunity for CMP to consolidate its position as a hub for freight transport".
How will the overall investments in infrastructure support growth in the region, and particularly in Copenhagen?
"The arrangements we have made in the transport area in recent years represent a substantial investment in infrastructure in Denmark, as well as in projects which promote the mobility of freight transport in the Copenhagen region. It is first and foremost the expansion of the Køge Bugt Motorway, but also the new railway between Copenhagen and Ringsted, which will facilitate the passage of freight in the region. We will shortly be presenting a proposal for a port tunnel underneath Copenhagen's port. If viable financing can be found, and local problems of access etc. can be resolved, this is a scheme which can create development in the capital. For CMP too, which will obtain better access conditions".
What is the significance of the EU designating CMP a Core Port?
"I am delighted that the EU Commission has prioritised making CMP a core network port in an EU context. It means that the port has been designated a central hub in the trans-European transport network, and it will be better placed to obtain EU support in collaborating with other actors in the region. It goes without saying that I hope CMP exploits the opportunities that come with being a core network port".
How will the increased environmental requirements affect the shipping and transport sectors in the coming years?
"From 2015, international requirements will be introduced demanding that ships sailing in the North Sea and the Baltic reduce their emissions of sulphur and other pollutants. I know that the industry is working hard to meet these requirements. It is therefore important that ships are able to refuel with alternative fuels such as liquefied natural gas in the ports, and I hope that as a core network port CMP is involved in making it possible".
How do you perceive the potential for Copenhagen to maintain its position as a leading cruise port?
"The new cruise quay and terminal is an incredibly lavish project, which will cement Copenhagen's position as an attractive cruise destination. I feel there are excellent prospects for the port to continue the last ten years' growth in the number of arrivals and passengers. I am delighted that the decision has been taken to build a metro line to Nordhavn, making it easier for cruise passengers to get in and out of the city, and I hope that the airport's work on attracting new intercontinental routes to Denmark is successful as it will have a positive effect in relation to cruises as, for example, Chinese tourists will be able to fly directly to Copenhagen".

One Southern Indiana will present its first annual Non-Profit of the Year Award this year, recognizing an organization's outstanding work within the community. Rauch, Inc. was chosen as one of the three finalists. Alongside Goodwill of Southern Indiana and Hope Southern Indiana, Rauch will be recognized at the One Southern Indiana Annual Meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 18, where the winner will also be announced.
Our application gave us an opportunity to highlight the growth Rauch has seen in the last several years, including within the Industries:
"Rauch Industries, specifically, has recently undergone a redesign during which an entirely new brand identity was created, the website was redone and a quarterly newsletter was produced. Both the website and the newsletter were developed to help expand the customer base of the Industries, in turn providing more jobs and a wider variety of jobs to clients who work in the Industries. This allows clients with developmental disabilities working at the program the opportunities for new experiences and new and varied skill development."
"Rauch Industries met deadlines for 98% of their business contracts, and provided over 30,000 hours worked for individuals with disabilities."
Thank you to One Southern Indiana for this opportunity to share Rauch's work in the community. For the newsletter announcing the finalists, please click here.

The social network has invited a select group of its users to test the new stripped-down version of the site while it is in beta phase. Some industry pundits believe Facebook is rolling out 'Lite' to compete more closely with Twitter's real-time news and search capabilities.
However, according to technology blog TechCrunch, the development is more focussed at this stage on providing a simpler version of the site so it will work better in countries where bandwidth is limited and on mobile phones, where downloads are slower than broadband.
It is also expected to use smaller pictures and lower-resolution videos in order to speed up download of Facebook pages.
Facebook told TechCrunch that the service is currently being tested in India, with plans to roll it out first across Russia and China.
The first screen shots of Facebook Lite bear a striking resemblance to the Twitter service, with a linear stream of friends' status updates dominating the page.
The service is also expected to have a left-hand navigation bar with four main categories: Friends, Wall, Info and Photos & Videos.
Hacker News has seen some screen shots of Facebook Lite. However, the Indian users who were selected to test the new service were left confused by the disappearance of the initial invitation from their homepages.
The selected few were sent the following message: "You have been selected as a beta tester for Facebook Lite!
"We are building a faster, simpler version of Facebook that we call Facebook Lite. It's not finished yet and we have plenty of kinks to work out, but we would love to get your feedback on what we have built so far.
Check out Facebook Lite now at http://lite.facebook.com."
However, the test link web address no longer works and automatically redirects back to the main Facebook site. The social network told TechCrunch that this is because it was a mistake to roll out the test site as soon as it did.
Facebook were unavailable for comment.
The development is being seen by some as the latest in a series of moves from Facebook to take on Twitter. Earlier this week it acquired Friendfeed for $50 million, an American based social network aggregator, and has also recently rolled out real-time search functionality.

All Your Internet is Ours!
In the biggest Gaffe in the history of Google, for at least an hour on Saturday morning the entire Internet was malware. Well, at least according to Google. Also, proving that Google is becoming more and more like the old Microsoft every day, Google immediately blamed their open source partner, StopBadware.org for the problem. After StopBadware.org quickly showed that Google's excuse was incorrect, Google was once again forced to apologize, this time for dissing a partner
Windows 7 – Mac OS X Death Match Has Begun
Is it time for Apple to come up with a new ad campaign to fight Windows 7? If the market share numbers for January are any indication, Apple has quite a formidable foe on its hands.
Net Applications reports that in January, Mac OS reached 9.93% market share, up 0.30% from December to the highest point that Mac OS has ever held.
Not to be outdone, Windows 7 went from near 0% to 0.23% of total market share in only 21 days of availability of the public beta, which Microsoft now says will be the only Beta. Remember, the availability of Windows 7 Beta downloads ends on February 10, 2009.
To put this into perspective, the iPhone has been around for a year-and-half and only has a 0.48% market share despite being billed as the phone for Internet users. Windows 7 already has gained nearly as much of the OS market share of the iPhone in just 21 days. Amazing.
Google plugs 'high-risk' holes in Chrome
Google has released a pretty big patch to Google Chrome's beta and stable channels to fix exploits with Adobe Reader and the V8 JavaScript engine.
The Adobe Reader hole is bad enough that Google has shut off JavaScript URLs to the Adobe Reader plugin, a move which would irritate many webmasters had this happened with IE or Firefox.

All Your Rights is Ours!
In what is sure to be a sign of the true meaning of individual rights under the Obama administration, a federal judge in Minnesota has declared that source code for the Intoxilyzer 5000EN by CMI of Owensboro, KY will not be released to the public.
For some reason, when it comes to the cash-cow that is traffic offenses, it's OK for the government to submit un-corroborated analysis of forensic devices without providing the same opportunity to the defense to have the devices analyzed by their own experts. This is an extremely chilling ruling as it's easy to now extend this ruling to other types of cases, such as murder and wrongful death suits.
Of course, with a name like Intoxilyzer 5000EN, it has to be good. Kind of like Enforcement Droid 209…. Right?
What's worse? ED 209 or the Intoxilyzer 500EN?
Windows Mobile 7 – 2009 or 2010?
Motorola may have let the cat out of the bag about the launch date for Windows Mobile 7, but it's not all bad news for Microsoft.
Microsoft has been publicly stating that vendors can expect Window Mobile 7 in the second half of 2009, but in reality it'll take a while for products with the new OS to show up at retailers. Motorola's acknowledgement that they won't have Windows 7 phones until 2010 is a pretty clear indication that they don't expect to get a production-ready version of Windows Mobile 7 until late 2009, or even 2010 itself.
The good news for Microsoft is that Motorola sees Windows Mobile 7 as a true alternative to Google's Android.
Never. Ever. Count out Microsoft.

All Your Privacy is Ours!
Another day, another assault on our individuality by the tech industry. Google Latitude was launched for mobile phones to allow people to know where their friends and family members are at any time they have the software enabled.
While this may seem like a cute and novel way to be social with your friends and family, the novelty will quickly wear off when you cannot have a private moment to yourself because everyone knows where you are. And if you turn off the software, or your phone for that matter, are your friends and family going to immediately start wondering what you're up to and why you don't have the software enabled?
We are not the Borg. We do not live in an autonomous collection. We are individuals and we need to maintain our ability to stay that way.
Sims 3 Set for June 2009
I've never understood the appeal of the Sims, but many millions of people do, and it's still the best selling game franchise of all time. So it's big news that EA has announced that the oft-delayed second sequel launches on June 2, 2009.
Thursday – February 5, 2009
All Your Rights is Ours! Again!
President Obama has appointed RIAA lawyer, and enemy of the Bill of Rights, Donald Verrilli to be the Associate Deputy Director of the Department of Justice.
This is the guy that convinced a judge in Minnesota (are we seeing a pattern here?) that it's a crime to make a copyrighted sound recording available on a peer-to-peer network, even if nobody actually downloads the file. This is like saying that if you leave an MP3 player full of music on the table at a restaurant and nobody takes it that you're guilty of pirating music simply because you didn't keep it under lock and key.
Fortunately, an appeals judge has since overturned the decision, but that hasn't stopped the RIAA from appealing the appeal.
President Obama is supposed to be a supporter of people's rights. Remember this on the first Tuesday in November of 2010.
Microsoft's Easy Button
Microsoft has added a new feature to some of its online documentation called "Just Fix It". This feature allows a user to just click a button and the process described in a document automatically is applied to your computer. If you work in an office with one of those ubiquitous Easy Buttons from Staples, this is sure to lead to joyous poundings of said button on a frequent basis. If it works.

All Your Windows 7 UAC is Ours!
Windows 7 has been widely touted as the Windows that Vista Should Have Been, but one point of contention has been that many users (not pundits, mind you) have been claiming that UAC in Windows 7 is useless since its default setting allow further degradation of UAC settings without invoking the UAC warning. This makes UAC less than worthless for users. Of course, this unobtrusiveness of UAC is part of what has led the pundits to near unanimous praise of Windows 7 because it makes their life as uber-hard-core mega-geeks easier and simpler. One problem that these pundits have is their inability to see the product from the perspective of the user.
To me, this validates Microsoft's approach to UAC in Vista. The only people I've ever heard complain about it are tech-head know-it-alls that are just looking for something to complain about. It's been baffling to me that Vista's UAC is nearly identical to the SUDO functionality of GNU/Linux and Max OS X, yet it's the proponents of those operating systems that have beat the anti-UAC drum the loudest.
On Thursday night Microsoft did the right thing and decided to change UAC to work the way that users want it to, not pundits. It should also be noted that these pundits have been in CYA mode for the last week reporting on these user complaints as if they've been saying it all along, which they haven't been.
Just like with Vista, don't judge the product based on punditry, get a copy yourself (or find someone with a copy of it) and live with the OS for a while. Make your own choice.
Big Story of the Week
The big story this week is Windows 7. No matter what day it was, or where you looked, you couldn't escape stories about Windows 7 ranging from obscure reviews to conjecture about versions available to hyperbole surrounding the UAC issue.
My 2 Cents
The important story of the week is the rapidly degrading value of privacy, security and personal rights here in America. We are being besieged by seemingly well-meaning software, incompetent judges, and nefarious picks to President Obama's cabinet and other top directors. We are in a period where America is too concerned with the economy and the oncoming ice age (I'll save Global Warming for another day, just be sure you pay your light bill in Michigan) to pay attention to the more subtle and longer-lasting effects of the news around us. Don't wake up wondering where your rights went when you passively sit by and do nothing.

Is it possible to somehow draw a polygon or a free-form region in Paint.Net and later select what's inside it? If so, how? (Other than using the Rectangle Select capability.)
A note: I have no clue about the use of layers. If the solution involves layers, I would really appreciate it if you could break down the steps involved. (I want to learn layers, but somehow have never learned basic the conceptual building block necessary for understanding it.)

"Believe me, the most important work of the fathers (priests & bishops), of every advisor and preacher, is the invitation to the sinful person to assess himself in the presence of God, in the light of His commandments, as did…the prodigal son, of whom it is rightly said: 'he returned to himself.'" Pope Shenouda III
We're on our third and final installment in the discussion of The Life of Repentance and Purity (got something fun planned next week) and this week we're on Part 3: The Means of Repentance (How to Repent). I'm only going to mention one point from this section and I'll let you explore the rest on your own.
But first let me go back to the gospel that we (Coptic Orthodox church) read this past Sunday and we read every year on the 3rd Sunday of Lent. It is the well-known story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15.
There we see a son commit a HUGE SIN – about as big as it gets. Asking for your inheritance money before your father has died is like saying "I'm sick and tired of waiting for you to die. Can you hurry up and die please? I wish you were dead right now."
Yikes! That's bad.
The son gets his money and goes off into a far country. He enjoys his time at first but soon the money runs out and a famine hits the land. He's hungry and got nowhere to turn. So he finds a job working in the ever-blossoming field of professional swine management – aka, feeding pigs.
He not only has to feed the pigs, but things got so bad for him that he actually envied what they were eating, "And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything." (Luke 15:16).
Lusting after pig food is about as low as it gets. But that state doesn't last very long because he decides to come home and say he's sorry. And when he gets there, he's greeted by a new set of clothes, a warm embrace and a great feast – all courtesy of the father who he wished were dead earlier in the story. And everyone lives happily ever after...
But wait a minute… how did that happen? Where did that come from? How such a sudden and drastic shift?
Imagine you're watching this as a movie. You're in the early part of the story – before the son has come home – and you see him in the pig fields. How would you describe his state of being? What words would you use?
Now imagine that you had to get up to go to the bathroom. You missed 5 minutes of the movie and when you come back you see him back in his father's house. Now what words would you use to describe him? Same words? Or the exact opposite?
Was poor, but now rich. Was hungry, but now filled. Was lonely, but now loved. Was empty, but now satisfied. Was miserable, but now in heaven!
All that in just a 5 minute bathroom break?! How could that be? What happened during those 5 minutes that made such a difference? How could things shift so suddenly and so drastically where the boy went from "envying pig food" to "feasting at a rich man's table"?
What happened???
"But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!" Luke 15:17
The story shifted when "he came to himself" – that one moment changed everything. He didn't repent yet… he didn't confess… he didn't do anything at all… BUT HE CAME TO HIMSELF. And that changed everything for him…
…and it might have the same effect for you.
I'm talking about confession here but I'm not just talking about going to a priest and reading a list of sins off a piece of paper (a practice which has become much more common in recent years). The idea of preparing for confession is good, but just writing a list of sins misses the point.
Pope Shenouda writes:
"Do not get lost in many details, but give priority to your clear weak points and to the "mother virtues," such as the virtue of pursuing God's love, which contain within them the rest of the virtues and which will help you to realize the whole spiritual life."
The Prodigal Son didn't need to confess a list of sins: I said a bad word, I told a lie, I was not nice to my father and I skipped church because it was cold outside. The laundry list approach is not what saved him and changed his life.
He needed to "come to himself" – to come to the realization that he was not being a very good son. He had broken the relationship with his father and in the process broken his father's heart. The issue isn't the details of the actions ("I said mean words"); the issue is the heart that says "I have sinned against heaven and before you and am no longer worthy to be called your son."
Do you see the difference?
My fear, my brothers and sisters, is that we have two extremes when it comes to the practice of confession:
Extreme 1: I confess very rarely and when I do it is just the "big sins" and it's mainly to clear my conscience before Good Friday or Easter. For me, confession is a matter of duty or obligation.
Extreme 2: I confess very regularly and when I do I bring a laundry list of sins that I read off a piece of paper. For me, confession is a matter of rules and routine.
We need quality not quantity. It's not a matter of HOW MUCH you confess but rather just HOW you confess. Someone who confessed only once but did so with a "broken and contrite heart" is greater than one who confessed monthly with merely a laundry list of sins.
Why? Because the goal is RELATIONSHIP not rules.
Not confessing regularly is bad and I've spoken about that before. I'm not negating any of that here. But I'm simply balancing it with the other side of the coin – that is, confessing simply out of routine or habit and never doing what the Prodigal Son did when "he came to himself."
We're about halfway through Lent. Holy Week, Good Friday and Easter Sunday will be here before you know it. Maybe it's time for a "come to yourself" meeting like the Prodigal Son had and maybe it's also time for a "COME HOME" moment like he had as well.

Concert review: Musicians join to pay tribute to music and friendship of Chuck Loeb (VIDEO)
The beloved late guitarist is remembered in a show that will help establish a scholarship fund in his name.
A whirlwind opening weekend got the 28th annual Boscov's Berks Jazz Fest off to another great start, but the event is missing something this year.
Or, rather, someone.
This was the first festival in 15 years not to include Chuck Loeb, who had become nearly as inescapable as improvisation during the annual jazz celebration. The beloved guitarist died during the summer after a long battle with cancer. He was 61.
Dozens of his contemporaries from across the globe joined on Sunday night to pay tribute, and play tribute, to him at the Santander Performing Arts Center, a nearly three-hour show billed simply as �Remembering Chuck Loeb.� The list of musicians included music director and saxophonist Eric Marienthal, trumpeter Rick Braun, keyboardist Bob James, bassist Nathan East, drummer Harvey Mason, saxophonist Kirk Whalum, trumpeter Randy Brecker, bassist Gerald Veasley, guitarist Nick Colionne, bassist Brian Bromberg and the Berks Horns.
�Chuck was one of my very best friends,� Marienthal said. �And it's a little self-serving to say that because half the musicians onstage tonight could make that claim.�
A portion of the proceeds from the well-attended performance will be used to establish the Chuck Loeb Scholarship Fund.
Loeb loomed large over the evening, figuratively and literally: A screen behind the stage featured a black-and-white photo of the musician, slightly hunched over his guitar while immersed in a song.
�Chuck Loeb had so many friends and was so popular, we basically got the cast of �Ben-Hur' onstage,� said Braun, who also acted as the show's M.C.
Assembling and putting on this kind of concert is a daunting task, to put it mildly, yet it went off without a hitch. The Berks Jazz Fest directors found a way to assemble all the musicians, while Marienthal did a remarkable job curating a 17-song setlist composed of songs written by or produced by Loeb.
�And I'll tell you, it was not an easy job coming up with a handful of songs given the depth and breadth of his incredible legacy of music,� Marienthal said.
They were all over the map: the 12-bar blues bop of opener �Brother Ray,� the smooth bossa nova of Michael Franks' �The Lady Wants to Know,� the complex fusion of Metro's �Bing Bam Boom,� the George Benson-esque funk of Colionne's �Pocket Change,� the yearning hope of Dave Koz and Marienthal's �Over the Rainbow.�
Despite the circumstances, the evening's mood was upbeat, the musicians clearly getting a kick out of sharing stories about their friend. Some things the audience learned:
- Loeb was a nervous Jew who signed off on his emails with �N.J.� He said there was a secret to being a nervous Jew: You had to look concerned while also smiling.
- He saw a beautiful woman in the front row of a concert in Spain while he was touring with saxophone luminary Stan Getz's band. He told his bandmates he was going to marry her. He did. Getz then filled the role of best man at his wedding.
- He wrote the lyrics to Braun's homage to standards called �Cliche,� a song that consists of nothing but cliches.
The evening's finale, a stirring gospel rendition of Leonard Cohen's �Hallelujah� that featured Reading's Doxa Gospel Ensemble, released all the pent-up emotion. While the song played, the screen behind the stage showed photos of Loeb throughout his career and the evening's performers trickled back onto the stage. At the song's conclusion, the musicians turned to the screen and joined�in the thunderous applause.
�When it came to music and people, anything that Chuck touched, he made it better,� saxophonist Andy Snitzer said. �And that, I think, is his legacy.�

Below is an excerpt from an article that appeared in the Sept. 29, 2006 issue of the journal, Science. It discusses the benefits of a Montessori approach to education:
Montessori Education Provides Better Outcomes than Traditional Methods
A study comparing outcomes of children at a public inner-city Montessori school with children who attended traditional preschools indicates that Montessori education leads to children with better social and academic skills.
Montessori education is characterized by multi-age classrooms, a special set of educational materials, student-chosen work in long time blocks, a collaborative environment with student mentors, absence of grades and tests, and individual and small group instruction in academic and social skills.
The Montessori school studied is located in Milwaukee and serves urban minority children. Students at the school were selected for enrollment through a random lottery process. Those students who "won" the lottery and enrolled at the Montessori school made up the study group. A control group was made up of children who had "lost" the lottery and were therefore enrolled in other schools using traditional methods. In both cases the parents had entered their children in the school lottery with the hope of gaining enrollment in the Montessori school.
"This strategy addressed the concern that parents who seek to enroll their children in a Montessori school are different from parents who do not," wrote study authors Angeline Lillard, a University of Virginia professor of psychology, and Nicole Else-Quest, a former graduate student in psychology at the University of Wisconsin. This was an important factor because parents generally are the dominant influence on child outcomes.
The children who attended the Montessori school, and the children who did not, were tested for their cognitive and academic skills, and for their social and behavioral skills. "We found significant advantages for the Montessori students in these tests for both age groups," Lillard said. "Particularly remarkable are the positive social effects of Montessori education. Typically the home environment overwhelms all other influences in that area."
Among the 5-year-olds, Montessori students proved to be significantly better prepared for elementary school in reading and math skills than the non-Montessori children. They also tested better on "executive function," the ability to adapt to changing and more complex problems, an indicator of future school and life success. Montessori children also displayed better abilities on the social and behavioral tests, demonstrating a greater sense of justice and fairness. And on the playground they were much more likely to engage in emotionally positive play with peers, and less likely to engage in rough play.

I managed to port and run Stackless to OpenBSD for Zaurus.
WARNING: Stackless installed itselfs as a standard Python distribution, and will crush yours if no installation prefix is provided. I install mine in /usr/local/stackless to avoid this problems.
First, download and uncompress the version 2.4.3 on http://www.stackless.com
Here is a link to the files to use for patching : http://basy.free.fr/stackless_arm_zaurus.tgz
The recursive diff arm32.patch should work on any platform, with a little tweaking. The files specific to OpenBSD/Zaurus are the patch_* files.
To build for arm32 :
- apply the arm32 patch;
- ./configure=installationprefix;
- add a -D__arm32__ to the OPT and the CPPFLAGS
- make, make install
To build for OpenBSD/Zaurus
- apply the arm32 patch;
- ./configure --prefix=installationprefix
- apply the patch_* on the proper files
- make, make install
Sorry to produce post configure patches I'm not very fond/skilled in ./configure scripts.

I try to make Stackless Python work on OpenBSD Zaururs, starting from a port made for Nintendo DS.
This port uses a thumb assembly module (used for implementing C stack black magic).
I therefore tried to compile the whole bunch of file using the -mthumb -mthumb-interwork options of GCC, but the compilation fails, the gcc assembler complaining about "bad instructions".
Did anyone already managed to build/make work some thumb compiled software on OpenBSD ?
Thanks in advance.
PS: maybe something I said here is complete nonsense, but I'm not familiar with this kind of low level sorcery...

Is there an existing port of Stackless Python on Zaurus ?
28 Jul 2006
Which tools do you use, to connect to open Wi-Fi Access Points ? Do you use handmade scripts, particular tools ?
7 Mar 2006
I am a newcomer in the Zaurus world, and after a few day of installing/reinstalling all ROMs on my new 3100, I chose Cacko + pocketworkstation Debian as a good compromise between PIM use and mini-laptop use.
I now have a fully functional debian (updated through apt) but when I launch it, the window manager and all processes are started for the user "root". Does anyone know how to launch it for the user "zaurus" ?
I need to add that I run qtopia as "zaurus". I understand that launching X/Qt goes through a sudo, but is it possible to abandon privileges as soon as possible ?

What better way to greet a new year than with the almighty welcome mat? From irreverent to elegant, the welcome mat says quite a bit about you in a mere 20 by 30 inches. It's one of the very first things visitors see upon approaching your home and it's a chance to showcase a bit of your personality and style, 'cos you know you got it.
Incidentally, if anyone knows the history of the doormat and would care to share its anecdotal inception, we're all ears – all I could manage to find on the information superhighway was that the word's first use was in 1946 (allegedly). So much for an information superhighway.
In no particular order of greatness, here you go! TEN MATS to make your front, back, and side doors more awesome than you ever thought they could be. *(Lily Spindle insider tip: most of these can be just as fantastic when used indoors - for instance, a Chilewich mat by your kitchen sink is one of the simplest ways to add color and texture to your kitchen, renders sink-standing considerably more comfortable, and they're exceptionally easy to clean - just spray with cleaner and hose these babies down!)

Oak Waterbed Furniture – If you want to give your home a timeless and warm touch, dress your house with solid oak furniture. This type of furniture has returned to become fashionable due to the elegance and quality of this type of wood, which has been used for hundreds of years in home furniture. Surely, if you check the antique furniture of your townhouse or take a look at what your mother has in her living room, you will appreciate the quality and durability of this wood, which returns to conquer the world of interior design.
Complete Waterbed Sets
The oak is one of those traditional woods that fill any room charm. In fact, it is one of the most used wood for the parquet, since it is perfect for its insulating properties, both against cold and heat, as well as for its resistance, which will make you last many more years than other types of wood. It is said that oak furniture is the most famous. They already decorated palaces and mansions in the 15th century, creating traditional and very warm atmospheres. Now, the return of this type of wood comes with new trends, with solid oak waterbed furniture for rustic, vintage, industrial and even Nordic decorations.
Among the great advantages of solid oak furniture highlights its great durability. A furniture of these characteristics will remain in your home for decades and you will even be able to see your grandchildren play around you in many years. Decorate your home with tables, chairs, chests, shelves, tables or sofas made of solid oak and your house will acquire the class, elegance, and distinction that you are looking for. We put at your proposal a wide variety of solid oak wood furniture. You can decorate your house with all kinds of furniture to complete your oak waterbed furniture, from tables and chairs, to dressers, dressers, shelves, coffee tables and auxiliaries, headboards or sofas and armchairs. In addition, a large part of our proposals of solid oak wood furniture can be made to measure, responding to your needs both design and space.
When acquiring a solid oak wood furniture you have to keep in mind that, although it is a wood of great durability and resistance, you will have to apply some treatments to last in time. If the wood is not treated, pay special attention when cleaning it. First, remove the dust from the surface with a vacuum cleaner and then wash it with a damp cloth. Finish by passing a dry cloth over the surface. The important thing with this oak waterbed furniture of finish is to react quickly to any stain or spill of liquid.
The wood can also be varnished or waxed. In the first case, a mixture of alcohol, flaxseed oil and lemon in equal parts will give back the shine of the first day. On the other hand, if it is waxed it is better to go over the wood with a cloth dipped in hot milk. If the wood is painted, clean it with a liquid soap solution and then rinse it with clean water and dry it. And if the oak waterbed furniture is lacquered, it is best to polish it with a cloth in the direction of the grain, using wax every so often for maintenance.

Oakland A's notes: Returns likely near for Cook, Gentry
OAKLAND -- It sounds like Ryan Cook's return to the A's bullpen is imminent, with manager Bob Melvin saying Cook threw well in a rehab game with Single-A Stockton last night and will likely be in Oakland on Saturday.
As for whether Cook will actually be activated Saturday -- the first day he's eligible to come off the 15-day DL -- Melvin said that "would be a stretch." The A's mapped out a certain number of innings they wanted Cook to reach before he rejoins the team, and Melvin said that could mean one more rehab game.
One factor that could affect that decision is how much the A's need to use the bullpen tonight. They're already shorthanded after playing 30 innings the past two days, and if the A's lean heavily on the bullpen again tonight, Cook could provide reinforcements. But that's probably a worst-case scenario. Either way, it sounds like Cook is mere days away.
Melvin said outfielder Craig Gentry could also join the A's by their series in Minnesota, which begins Monday. Gentry, who's also eligible to come off the DL on Saturday, just returned from paternity leave, and Melvin said he'll probably need "a couple more outings" in rehab games before he's ready to go.
When Gentry does return, the A's will have a decision to make concerning Sam Fuld, who has been their fourth outfielder and impressed through the first four games. Fuld tripled in each of the past two games and made a sliding catch Thursday night that saved a pair of runs.
Melvin praised Fuld in his pre-game session today as "probably even a little better player than I thought," but didn't bite on the question of what happens when Gentry is ready to be activated. "We'll deal with that when he's on his way back," Melvin said.
Fuld is not in the lineup tonight against Mariners right-hander Chris Young. The A's lineup reads like this:
CF Crisp
3B Donaldson
SS Lowrie
DH Moss
LF Cespedes
C Jaso
RF Reddick
1B Barton
2B Sogard
Dan Straily makes his first start of the season for the A's. He'll face this Mariners lineup:
CF Almonte
SS Miller
2B Cano
1B Smoak
DH Hart
3B Seager
RF Morrison
LF Ackley
C Buck
* Melvin acknowledged the A's won't have a "full complement" in the bullpen tonight but didn't say which relievers are off-limits. A likely one is Sean Doolittle, who threw two innings in Thursday night's game. Left-hander Fernando Abad also threw two, so he might not be available, but Melvin said closer Jim Johnson is back in the mix tonight.
* Doolittle recorded one of the key outs in last night's game by striking out Robinson Cano with two outs and a runner on second base in the 10th inning. Today, he agreed to go into his approach to the at-bat, and how it changed when Abraham Almonte stole second partway through the at-bat.
Doolittle said the first objective "with a guy like (Cano) is you've got to get ahead of him." He actually fell behind Cano, 1-0, but then got the count to 1-2 with two 94 mph fastballs that Cano fouled off.
After Almonte stole second, Melvin came out to the mound for a visit, and said after the game Thursday night that he told Doolittle: "Don't let (Cano) get the bat on the ball."
Doolittle said he couldn't remember the actual words, but Melvin's message was "something to the effect of, 'Be smart and commit to it. Don't throw anything you're not 100 percent comfortable throwing.'
"Which I took as maybe don't try to trick (Cano) with a slider here and hang it and let him it out of the ballpark."
Instead, Doolittle went to the pitch he has the most faith in -- another fastball, up in the zone, at 94 mph. Cano swung and tipped it into the glove of catcher John Jaso.
"I felt like I put the ball in a spot where it was either going to be a ball, a foul ball, or he was going to swing and miss," Doolittle said. "Kind of a pitch where it's probably out of the zone, so he's not going to be able to get a good swing on it, try to play the odds in my favor so to speak. Fortunately it worked."
* Melvin was also asked pre-game today about Yoenis Cespedes going the opposite way with hard-hit balls on several occasions already this season, including his game-tying triple in the eighth inning Thursday. Melvin said it may be a sign that some of Cespedes' work in spring training to develop more of a contact approach is paying off.
"A lot of the talk was about shortening his swing and so forth," Melvin said. "And for a guy that's a power guy it might just be as much trying to use the whole field as potentially shortening his swing."
* A couple things from today's game notes: A's starters have allowed two or fewer runs in each of the first four games and a total of three earned runs in 24 innings. The A's are also off to their count-working ways again, leading the majors entering today with 25 walks as a team.

Horses have a long history at the Park, as horses were used to herd cattle and almost certainly to plow the fields in earlier days, a practice resumed by Park farmers John and Lisa.
Today, horseback riders find the Park a welcoming recreational location. Due to sensitive nesting areas in the grassy fields and other environmental concerns, riders are asked to stay on the multi-purpose trails. Local riders report that cheerful cooperation is the norm when sharing the trails with walkers and bicyclists. It is the hope of both the Park board and local horseback riders to expand equestrian use of the Park, perhaps including group rides and other horse-centered activities and areas. If you trailer your park to the Park, please use the Kimtu parking lot where turnaround is easy.
For more information, you may contact local horsewoman Cindi Oney at firstname.lastname@example.com, or during business hours at Just Rent It, 707-923-1414.

Find Elo Boosters in OCE
It might be tough to find the correct and a professional ELO BOOST in OCE servers because they are really scarce, and the ones that do exists you will find in forums advertising their service but you will soon find out that they are not the best out there and that you might even get scammed.
That's why we advice you to just stick with an elo boosting website that has been around for a long time and that you know that nothing will go wrong when you get one of these services.
So the best OCE Elo Boosting website is:
Yes I'm talking about us, Elitist-Gaming, why? It's simple, we've been in this business for years now and we know what we are doing, we know how to handle the customers and we especially know how to get nothing but the best boosters in the world.
There's one thing which is very important that most people don't understand.
Just being good a league of legends does not make you a good booster, being diamond 1 or challenger is not enough to be a great booster, and this is where the other companies fail to get the best of the best.
What does it take to be a good Elo Booster?
To be a good exceptional booster you will have to actually play the game in a professional way, make sure that the customer is the happiest person ever and make sure that no matter what happens you always play it safe and you ensure the security and happiness of the customer at all times.
Logging from a VPN and things like that are measures that we take for granted, that is not a "feature" that we even mention because it's obvious that it has to happen, maybe the customers do not know that and they think that other sites are really good because they don't know what are the security measures that others use, trust me that those things, along with a system in which the booster isn't aware of your login credentials, are super basic and should be in every single website that offers these services.
What REALLY matters when getting a booster:
Meeting deadlines, playing consistently, COMMUNICATION is one thing that the elo boost professionals MUST have, there is nothing worse than being left clueless when someone has the control of your account and you don't even know what to do at that point.
This is where other companies and individuals fail at being a good elo boosting pro, as I've said before being good isn't something that cuts it anymore, you gotta treat it as a job and being extremely professional with it, being responsible for what happens with your account and making sure that the customer is always on the loop and happy are things that should come first.
It is hard to find a good one in OCE servers
So why this in OCE is relevant? Well it really comes down to the number of players, they are way less OCE players than in NA or any other server, which also means that there will be a much less number of boosters that will help you out, even some that will get you a boost for free.
Imagine this, for every 100 diamond 1 people that apply for a boosting job in our website, we might hire 1 if that. Because after an interview we know if they are really up for it or if they just want to play league of legends and make some money out of it.
This reflects a lot more in OCE because the number of boosters is much much lower than in any other server.

In 2018, there are countless opportunities for free learning on the internet. It can be difficult to find them, and it can also can be challenging to find the time to watch them. While I will always recommend checking out live streams for yourself, I thought I'd write a SparkNotes version for our readers. This is not a comprehensive summary. At the very least, it makes me feel a bit more productive about my vegging-out-on-livestreams habit.
On Day 1 of the USEF George H. Morris Horsemastership Training Session Anne Kursinski gave a flatwork demonstration. I love to watch riders from other disciplines give lessons on the flat. I find jumper (and event) riders talk about dressage like it's a totally separate from what they do on a daily basis or at competition. The sport of dressage does have it's own peculiarities that can seem both foreign and unrelatable. But, in order for us all to progress as equestrians, regardless of discipline, I think we need to accept dressage, in a classical sense, is the basis of every horse sport. Call it whatever you want: flatwork, hacking, flatting – the principles should be the same. I cringe when someone says they'll want to try dressage, but they've got to buy a saddle first.
Kursinski beautifully demonstrates in her session about how a jumper should be worked through classical dressage movements to improve the quality of their work. She shows that simply doing the movements isn't enough. It's about riding the horse underneath you and using the exercises to improve the overall sense of fluidity, rhythm, and relaxation.
The movements aren't an island in themselves or a series motions that you must get through to achieve a better horse. It's important that the movements are a tool that functions within the ecosystem of the horse. The positions are a reaction to the responses and problems that you're having in that specific moment. A lot of upper level riders are so good at this they may not even realize that's what they're doing, so they jump to simply teaching technicality without the fundamental theoretical basis. In this demonstration you can see her using the movements for improvement, not just to show off a certain positioning or exercise. My favorite quote: "Feel the horse feel you."

Chip Foose and WD-40 have teamed up to create a unique Ford F-150 for SEMA.
Resembling a mobile billboard, the F-150 Lariat has been equipped with Baja Forged bumpers, a roll cage and a Warn winch. The truck also has power running boards, a "converted front Raptor suspension" and 17-inch MHT Fuel Maverick wheels with 37-inch Falken Wild Peak A/T tires.
Interior changes are limited but include Katzkin leather seats and a Clarion audio system.
For added performance, the 6.2-liter V8 engine has been equipped with a Whipple supercharger, a Gale Banks Straight-Shot Water-Methanol Injection system and a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust. Thanks to these modifications, the engine develops more than 600 bhp (447 kW).
The truck will be given away as a part of a raffle that supports Childhelp, Victory Junction and the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund. Tickets cost $50 (€37) and the winner will be selected in May.

Milk shakes are one of the best and healthiest ways of beating the summer heat. They provide you with all the necessary nutrients in sufficient quantities while keeping the calories to a bare minimum, making it an essential part of your diet regimen. An average fresh fruit milk shake can be made even healthier by adding lots and lots of dry fruits. They not only provide you with sufficient quantities of dietary fibres but also several nutrients, which otherwise are not present in the fresh fruits. Here we tell you how to make some delicious milk shake using fresh fruits and dry fruits.
Mango Dry Fruit Milkshake
Summers can never be complete without mangoes. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and A. Everyone loves mango dry fruit milkshake.
- 1 ripe mango
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 3-4 almonds
- 4-5 cashews
- 3-4 pistachios
- 5-6 raisins
- 4-5 ice cubes
Preparation Method:
- Take the milk and pour it into a pan, to the milk add some chopped dry fruits and bring them to a boil.
- After boiling, cool the milk and blend it well with the dry fruits, and keep it aside.
- Peel the mango and cut it into moderately sized pieces.
- Now add the pieces of mango and sugar to the milk and blend it well.
- Serve the milk shake chilled by adding the ice cubes to it.
Make sure that you do not add mango to hot milk as it will not provide the desired results. Add mango pieces once the milk has been cooled. Moreover, you can add some mint to the shake to make it even more refreshing.
Kiwi Dry Fruit Milkshake
This fruit is rich in vitamin C and potassium.
- Ice – ½ cup
- Kiwi 1-2 ( you can use more)
- Sugar 1 Tbsp.
- Banana 1 (for thickening and taste)
- Almonds 3-4
- Walnuts 3-4
- Raisins 3-4
Preparation Method:
- Add kiwi, banana, sugar and milk to a jar and blend them well using a blender until you get the desired consistency.
- Chop the almonds and the walnuts and add them to the milk shake along with the raisins.
- Serve it chilled.
Those conscious of their sugar intake can replace it with honey to get the desired taste. To give it a twist you can also add some strawberries and yogurt. Dry fruits other than the ones mentioned above can be used.

Zombieland Saga was a show that came out of the gate guns blazing, no one expected it nor did anyone predict it but it left a strong impression when it first aired it's starting episodes. Originally considered to be another zombie apocalypse anime, it overthrew expectations by turning out to be a zombie idol anime. Outlandish though it may be this actually worked as the idol shows ranged from death metal to Rap and the comedy hit all the right notes with special mention to the manager who is equal parts ridiculous and bombastic. It looked like this was the series to take a look at the idol anime genre and poke fun at it's ever so tiresome tropes.
But ultimately the greatest failing of Zombieland Saga was becoming that which it originally parodied. The end result isn't something that I would consider a trainwreck like Kado as while Zombieland becomes something lesser, it's still at least a decently enjoyable watch. The problem is that it's opening episodes promised something greater and could have potentially been the anime to point out and mock the very nature of idol anime itself for it is something that has been long overdue such a scathing. Sadly the case is that once episode three hits the story gears more towards traditional idol anime and the fact that the idols are in themselves zombies becomes less and less relevant. What at once was a great surprising anime just became another idol anime.
There is fun to be had with the show and sometimes it can bump up from being alright to pretty good. The opening is quite excellent and the comedy has some great highlights with Yugiri's mistimed slaps and Yamada Tae just being the legendary Yamada Tae. Though when the series aims to hit a more emotional tone this often contrasts far too greatly with the general slapstick nature of the show itself, often not making its mind up on whether it wants to make you cry or laugh. Episodes become more formulaic as well with each often starting that a pep talk session with the manager so he can ham it up for comedic effect. Coupled with an ending which acts more as a midpoint finish rather than a finale and you have a show that's rather half baked in nature. Overall this show can be a fun watch but it once held the potential to be greater but then went for something more more marketable but more generic as a result.

Book: The Black Banners: The Inside Story of 9/11 and the War Against al Qaeda by Ali H. Soufan
September 12, 2011
The Black Banners: The Inside Story of 9/11 and the War Against al Qaeda
By Ali H. Soufan, with Daniel Freedman
On September 11, 2001, FBI Special Agent Ali H. Soufan was handed a secret file. Had he received it months earlier-when it was requested-the attacks on New York and Washington could have been prevented. During his time on the front lines, Soufan helped thwart plots around the world and elicited some of the most important confessions from terrorists in the war against al-Qaeda-without laying so much as a hand on them. Most of these stories have never been reported before, and never by anyone with such intimate firsthand knowledge.
This narrative account of America's successes and failures against al-Qaeda is essential to an understanding of the terrorist group. We are taken into hideouts and interrogation rooms. We have a ringside seat at bin Laden's personal celebration of the 9/11 bombings. Such riveting details show us not only how terrorists think and operate but also how they can be beaten and brought to justice.
