So it's done now. I had my last cigarette on our porch the other night, and now that I'm back in Jersey for a brief family visit type layover situation, it is truly done. I sat in the sun all day and read, the way I wanted my afternoons to be back in May. The Rhode Island rainy season definitely conspired against me there, but I'm attempting to make up for lost time now.
I'm currently burying myself in non-fiction and self-help books as a detox in preparation for the most serious undertaking of my academic life, also known as Writing A Novella. Today I read The Last Lecture in one glorious golden afternoon sitting, and tonight I am tucking in to Julia Child's My Life in France, which is already witty and wonderful. But in the background, I am making my preparations for said novella, which at the moment means paring down and building up my Netflix queue with every vampire movie and documentary I can find. Suggestions are more than welcome. I've already added the bulk of this list, but I'm still trolling for more titles to contribute to my full immersion into the genre. This is going to be the best year ever, when watching True Blood will count as research, when I get to dissect the theoretical implications of manipulating the politics of fictive worlds. Yes, yes, and double yes!
And apparently there is History Channel special on Dracula playing in the living room right now, so you know where I'll be.

Virginia, 2013
The Virginia State Board of Elections (SBE) summarized its 2013 Crosscheck data in its 2013 Annual Report on Voter Registration List Maintenance Activities.
Virginia received 308,579 "Potential Duplicate Registrants" from Crosscheck; after eliminating those lacking an exact match on first and last names, full date of birth, and SSN4, they were left with 80,515 pairs.
QUALITY OF DATA MATCH FOR 308,579 "PAIRS" FROM 2013 Virginia CROSSCHECK
While being on Crosscheck's report remains an unreasonable and pointless risk for these 456,696 who were placed on Virginia's list to Crosscheck's bad data matching, a close reading of the Virginia list maintenance reports may calm fears of those who believe all American voters who are placed on a Crosscheck report are summarily deleted from the voter rolls. Virginia's annual reports outline exacting standards by which voter registrations are processed. One wishes Crosscheck would reflect such exacting standards when entrusted with the voter rights of 84 million Americans annually.

text: Coming off of I-95 south at the Chi exit ( Pleasant ave.) the right turn lane onto Chi is now a Rt turn and cross over to get on I-95 south. This backs up traffic, sometimes back onto I-95. The right lane should be for turning right onto Chi and the left lane should be for turning left onto Chi and cross over to I-95 ( just as it was before the recent pattern change ). The left lane is rarely used because most travelers to Marcus Hook and Lower Chi take the prior 452 exit off of 95 South.

Australia Travel Guide – Where to go in Australia
- Recommended Links
- Australia Luxury Resorts
- Australia Luxury Apartment Rentals
- Australia Pool Villas
Check out the best places to visit in Australia – a total hotspot for luxury vacations this winter. If you're not interested in the snow and ski season, head south for winter and check out the golden continent that's home to startling landscapes, non-stop nightlife and a strong culture that combine into a country you'll never want to leave.
One of the must-visit places in Australia is Melbourne, and there are a myriad of reasons. Melbourne is considered by many travelers and tourists to be the most stylish Australian cities around, if not one of the most stylish cities in the world. It is home to a combination of Victorian and modern architecture, plus it's also the place to be when it comes to shopping, drinking, eating Australian-style (the New Quay and the Federation Square are highly recommended venues for the aforementioned activities).
Sydney—the largest city in Australia—is considered a city that best epitomizes the Australian way of life. Who could ever forget the iconic Sydney Opera House, the Rocks (the original penal Australian colony), the Sydney Harbor Bridge, Darling Harbor?
Sydney's also home to wonderful beaches like Chinaman and Bondi Beach plus entertaining shopping venues to boot. This is a world-class city by every sense of the term. It's no wonder why Sydney remains one of the top fifty to twenty-five cities in the globe to visit; it can serve as a beach resort, a central hub of metropolitan life, and a fine dining paradise all in one. It's filled with culturally significant attractions in the form of museums and enclaves as well as glittering beaches, the greenest parks, and first-rate restaurants.
If you want to be more attuned to nature, then a visit to Australia's Great Barrier Reef is the way to go. This coral formation—the biggest one on earth, in fact—is located on Queensland's pacific coast. It offers biodiversity that will leave you breathless and speechless. It's a particularly recommended hotspot for divers, environmentalists, and anyone who wants to see for themselves the spectacular array of marine life within Australia's shores. In fact, this place is arguably Australia's number one natural attraction thanks to its largeness (1,400 miles in length) and painterly beauty. It's a place that's teeming with wildlife, which is probably why it's called the Australian Blue Outback.
Located in the Northern Territory of Australia, the Red Centre is considered the spiritual and physical center of Australia. To be more specific, the Red Centre contains one of the most iconic treasures of Australia, Ayer's Rock (known locally as Uluru). This reddish rock is considered the world's largest monolith—in order words, the world's largest single, massive rock formation. It's a striking monument carved by nature's hand that stands in stark contrast to the flat plains that surround it.

|This is where we're headed: South Australia's lovely Riverland ... the "mighty Murray" itself...
|...but like any trip it all starts on the road. Early. Here's the South East Freeway with long morning shadows,
and we're headed for Murray Bridge. First stop: lunch on a genuine paddlewheel riverboat!
|Being a sensible Mitsubishi Magna, Lola decides to take a pit stop not far out of town --
|-- and as you wheel over the crest of the final hill, and leave the freeway, there's the flatlands laid out before you,
and the rural city of Murray Bridge itself.
|First priority: stop for a cup of tea at Mobilong Precinct, a lovely park area with a view of the river --
|-- and from Mobilong Precinct, you can actually see the riverboat at her moorings.
|The Captain Proud is just beginning to take on passengers. But first --
|-- being gardening enthusiasts, we couldn't resist photographing some of the gorgeous roses
at the Mobilong Precinct park. They had every kind imaginable...
|On the riverfront wharf, where the Captain Proud moors, stands an original steam locomotive,
a relic of the days when the Murray River was a major freight mover.
|Today, the Murray River doesn't move freight, but it's busy with recreational vessels of every kind...
|...while the sky is just as busy with pelicans, welcome swallows and many other birds.
|Water skiing is popular on many parts of the river, especially closer to Murray Bridge. And speaking
of welcome swallows (as in the previous caption), one got into this picture: bottom right corner!
|The riverboat Captain Proud is taking on passengers in earnest now, so --
|Time to board. Here's the view from the stern; and --
|The dining room, where a great lunch will be served in about an hour's time; and --
|The Captain Proud's salon, right on the waterline, down below.
|The view from the upper deck, where passengers are welcome up beside the wheelhouse...
|From a compartment down below, you can look out and see the paddlewheel turning.
|And we're off! The Captain Proud has cast off moorings and is heading out into mid-river --
|On the way out, you get a closeup view of the supports under the railway bridge. Check out that sign!
|The riverbanks throng with houseboats, most of them for rent as holiday homes. Now, there's a thought...
|From mid-water, you get an impression of how big the Murray River really is. Okay, it's not in the same
league as the Mississippi, but it's by no means small ... and it's the biggest one we have!
|The Captain Proud headed downriver on this trip, toward Goolwa. On other trips, she heads north,
past Murray Bridge and toward Mannum.
|Soon enough, she leaves behind the town and the riverbanks become lightly wooded, a little swampy,
a paradise for waterbirds.
|Many bridges cross the river. Freight doesn't move on the river any longer, but it sure moves over it!
|At this time in 2014 the water levels are pleasantly high. If we'd done this cruise a few years ago, it
would have been a very different story. Due to the drought, the river was dangerously low.
|It's difficult to believe, from images like this, that only a couple of years ago South Australia was on
serious water rationing ... and the state was so worried, we built a desalination plant. Then it rained.
|The course of the river has moved a little -- as you can tell from the dead, submerged trees.
|All parts of the Murray River are paradise for pelicans, cormorants, herons, cranes, ducks, gulls, and more...
|...and for humans too. How'd you like to be living in one of these places, with a boat landing right
at the bottom of your driveway? Whoa. That's some serious cash. But --
|Right opposite, on the other bank, the river supports wide-scale agriculture...
|-- including dairy, which is a thirsty industry indeed, and --
|-- someone's having a go at olive growing here, which is a very smart move. This state is
tremendously proud of its olive oil, which is touted as the best in the world.
|The wake of the Captain Proud. She's headed back to Murray Bridge now, but --
|-- watch out for water skiers and power boats!
|In fact, on this trip there was a "near miss", close enough to bring an officer from the river authorities
out to confer with the pilot of our riverboat. Some powerboat drivers are ... insane.
|And here we are back at the Captain Proud's moorings, after a great lunch, and with a long drive
ahead of us this afternoon --
|We're headed out of Murray Bridge, next stops Mannum, Swan Reach, and Blanchetown.
|The road goes ever on, as Tolkien said!
We booked a cabin at one of the tourist parks in Blanchetown, for overnight; we knew we'd be arriving very late and leaving very early. And all we needed to do was get a very early start on Saturday, and plan to be home late on Sunday, and we were in business.
On previous trips to Murray Bridge we'd seen (and photographed) the riverboat Captain Proud going by, loaded with passengers for their lunch cruise. Dave had been wanting to do this for some time, and since this was our 15th wedding anniversary trip -- why not? So we had to be in Murray Bridge for a certain time, to meet the riverboat, but after that the schedule was wide open.
Lunch aboard the Captain Proud was very good: traditional food and plenty of it. Roast and veggies, with apple crumble for dessert. Compliments to all the staff for a lovely experience all around. We'd like to do it again some time!
The cruise is three hours, then you're back on dry land -- in the car, in fact, and headed out for the next leg of the trip. This would take us from Murray Bridge in the late(ish) afternoon, to Blanchetown in the gold of the evening ... dawn on the river next morning, and then east, waaay east, into parts of the state we'd never visited.
That's where we'll be going in the next post in this series.

Most of wedding planning is technically design related,
but none more so than putting together your registry.
It really sets the tone for what your dining room, tablescapes and entertaining will
be like for years to come.
I'm pretty picky and indecisive when it comes to picking out things for myself and I
thought I'd have a REALLY hard time zeroing in on what china I want.
Not so. It took me all of 30 seconds at Neiman Marcus to find something I loved!
And that, is a mix of this BEAUTY.
SOO Scrumptious!
I'm planning on using it for the charger, soup bowl and salad plate.
Mixed with some pretty gold flatware.
How freakin' cute is the cup & saucer?
I'm planning to mix my Anna Weatherley with this.
Dying over the thought of hemstitched napkins,
held together with rablabs geode rings.
I'm not planning on having the traditional crystal wine glasses,
I just prefer the look of simple Riedel, but I would love some old fashioned coupe glasses.
Love this clear Waterford version.
I LOVE this green Waterford decanter and WISH they made matching glasses in the same green.
Technically they do, but they come with three other colors that I don't totally love.
What are your thoughts on the multi-colored glasses?

I love what similarly colored glasses look like on this tablescape,

Could SCOTUS health care decision cost Obama re-election?
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would argue that conservative Chief Justice Roberts joined with liberals on the U.S. Supreme Court to support "Obamacare" for one reason and one reason alone: to cost President Obama re-election in November. Instead, let me just say this. A victory for Obama today could make winning in November a whole lot tougher.
According to a national poll conducted by the Economist Wednesday, just 10 percent of Americans surveyed believed the Court would come down as it did, with a full endorsement of the Obama administration's radical health care law. This perspective cut across party lines, with just 15 percent of "Democratic loyalists" had confidence he would prevail as he did today.
Specifically, the Court held that Congress was acting in accordance with its Constitutional powers when it mandated that nearly all Americans carry insurance or face the wrath of penalties.
Within mere minutes of learning that not just portions of the bill would survive, but instead the whole thing, Facebook and other social media sites were inundated with strong responses. A government powerful enough to require us to make certain health decisions is a government powerful enough to take away countless other freedoms.
The fact of the matter is that we had socialized health care long before the two-year-old legislation at the core of the case was ever signed into law. As I previously concluded in a column after touring hospitals and speaking with patients and doctors in several other countries, including Canada, we have just disguised it as a free market system.
Government mandates have long hindered competition here, denied the ability of too many health care consumers to make logical cost-based decisions about the care they purchase, and most troubling, hindered the ability of innovative doctors and medical facilities to compete with the nation's massive insurance and health care industries.
All of this aside, the majority of voters wanted the law, or at least portions of it, thrown out. According to a Rasmussen survey, also conducted this week, 54 percent of Americans wanted it tossed. The most common reasons given: "the will hurt the quality of care, drive up costs and increase the federal deficit. Most voters also don't like the government ordering people to buy health insurance and don't think the Constitution permits that anyway." When asked two years ago, voters were 10 percent more likely to support the law.
Regardless of what comes next, this latest development will satisfy few and worry many when it comes to concerns about future health care quality, access and cost. In many ways, the debate has just begun. Pollsters now scurry to gauge public opinion on this outcome that few expected. The decision may be a true gift to presumed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Yes, his "Romneycare" imposed similar mandates at the state level in his home state of Massachusetts years ago. But this is the federal government we are talking about.
In a November matchup that otherwise shows independent and Republican voters largely uninspired, outrage today may get these voters off the couch and to the polls on Election Day. Sadly, as we have learned too often in America, what is good for politics can horrifically impact our daily lives. Certainly, the Court's decision today confirms this.

Grocery Coupons
Grocery Coupons may lure you in with various offers, deals, and discounts. You may think that you will save lots of money by using these offers just to find that they are presented to promote useless services. Worthless offers are usually linked to advertisement-supported programs, like Coolbuy or Boomcheap, that are not reliable. There are hundreds and thousands of unreliable ad-supported applications which are used by unreliable advertisers. Chances are that if you delete adware running on your PC, you will remove Grocery Coupons as well.
There is no doubt that authentic, useful Grocery Coupons exist. If you use reputable and trustworthy services, it is quite possible that you will be able to save money while shopping for groceries. Needless to say, this is not what we want to discuss. What deserve your attention are the unreliable services and the unreliable advertisement-supported programs. Untrustworthy applications may present Grocery Coupons, discounts, and various savings deals just to call out interaction. Of course, instead of clicking in them, you must delete Grocery Coupons if they are unreliable. You must remove adware to achieve this.
Whether you run authentic programs or malicious adware, the displayed Grocery Coupons are likely to provide links to third-party websites. Of course, if the coupons are related to reliable programs, you will be able to reap authentic benefits. On the other hand, if you fail to remove or disable the unreliable Grocery Coupons, you could be redirected to unreliable sites, potentially managed by schemers. You should be aware that it is necessary to delete the software linked to schemers.
The misleading, fictitious Grocery Coupons could be used to present virtual scams, promote unreliable or unpopular web stores, and to redirect you to malicious websites. You certainly should delete Grocery Coupons if they are in any way linked to cyber criminals, malware distribution, drive-by download attacks, and other dangerous activity. Well, do you know how to identify which Grocery Coupons are unreliable and which can be trusted?
It may be very difficult to identify malicious programs, which is why a reliable malware scanner is the best tool in this situation. Install the program and scan your operating system to find out which programs require removal. If you choose to remove Grocery Coupons manually, you should scan your operating system again to make sure that all threats have been deactivated and deleted. If you do not succeed with the manual removal, install legitimate, automatic malware removal software.

Shah Rukh Khan - I feel a sense of attachment to T&T
World: Bollywood star Vinod Khanna dies of cancer
One of India's most well-known Bollywood actors Vinod Khanna has died aged 70, his hospital has confirmed.
Khanna, also an active politician, had been suffering from cancer and was admitted to hospital earlier this month as his illness became more serious.
He acted in more than 100 Bollywood films and was widely seen as a counterfoil to the "angry young man" played by Amitabh Bachchan.
He was elected to parliament four times and was once a junior foreign minister.

I was born and raised in the small farming and ranching community of Nanton, Alberta.
It was clearly established early on in my life that I would not be raised with pity or sympathy. Within hours of when I was born my grandma was informed that my parents gave birth to a healthy baby boy however, I was missing both arms and both legs. Without any hesitation whatsoever she simply pointed out the fact that, "Bruce (my father) never did finish anything he started".
I attribute that dry and quirky sense of humor as the reason why I can honestly say that growing up without arms and legs was quite easy.
My family could have treated my disability like a total tragedy but instead chose to take it all in stride and make the best of the situation. After all, I still had a good head on my shoulders… and with that, anything is possible.
I grew up just like any other small-town kid. I played road hockey and baseball with all the others my age. I caused mischief at school and got in trouble from my parents when my grades weren't good enough. I helped out on my grandpa's farm operating equipment whenever I could. Life was pretty normal. Sure, I had to do things a little differently and maybe took a little bit longer to complete tasks. But I was determined to be just like the rest and I was always treated just like the rest.
After I graduated high school I moved up to the city of Calgary to pursue my post-secondary education. After a few years I moved east to Ottawa where I continued to study History and Psychology at University as well as working with The War Amputations of Canada.
The War Amps was always, and still continues to be a very important influence in my life. Their Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program has assisted thousands of kids across Canada who were either born missing limbs or lost them due to accidents or for other various reasons. CHAMP was started in 1975 by Cliff Chadderton, a man who devoted his life to making the lives of others better. Cliff was and always will be a great mentor in my life and the example he set for me and so many others, is one I continue to follow today.
I cannot begin to talk about the successes I have had in life without giving Cliff and The War Amps as much credit for that as I do my family, friends and the community I grew up in. It was, and still is an absolute pleasure to give back to an organization that has given so much to me.
After being away from home for about five or six years it was time to move back to southern Alberta.
When I moved back to Calgary I had the opportunity to work with one of the most amazing companies there, WestJet. I was able to work in the airline industry as well as get back into working in agriculture, like I had growing up.
Being back in southern Alberta also gave me the opportunity to start working on "If I Can…" It had originally started off as a travel show idea that my good buddy JR Comstock and I came up with. JR and I still hope that idea of a travel show will come to fruition, the "If I Can…" motto has morphed into an even larger project. It has since evolved into a message that I deliver via the videos on YouTube as well as speaking at schools, conferences and various other events and venues.
Fast-forward to today and I still continue to work in the farming and ranching industry. When I'm not out in the field I am traveling around as a motivational speaker. This allows me to fuel my passion for travel as well as share my story and my experiences in the hopes of encouraging others to live their lives to its greatest potential, because If I Can…

What could possibly be wrong with gaining knowledge and information?
This article is a stub and is missing information.
The D-Terminal is a palmtop computer used by the DigiDestined in Digimon Adventure 02. Although it is a normal item from the Real World, it can store multiple Digi-Eggs, allowing the DigiDestined to use multiple Armor evolutions; this is an unexpected advantage that the Digimon Sovereigns did not expect the DigiDestined to have. Their original and primary use is to allow instant messaging between the DigiDestined, old and new.
A D-Terminal toy was released during the run of the show, whose main feature was a Digimon Analyzer that provided basic data on 351 Digimon, many of which had not appeared in the anime. The lid of the toy had a decoding chart for the English alphabet of DigiCode, and the toy included a "Digi-Words" application that would translate English text into DigiCode. D-3's and original Digivices could also link to the D-Terminal, allowing the two devices to battle, or letting the D-Terminal look up information on the Digimon contained in the virtual pet. There were also two additional mini-game applications.

Today the weather behaved itself, just, and J surprise baby shower went down an absolute treat. Luckily it didn't kick start anything 😉
Keep It A Secret
As luck would have it, the date that was convenient for most people coincided with my Dads birthday. This meant J knew there was a gathering for a party and therefore wasn't the least bit suspicious when I helped out moving garden furniture, putting up a gazebo, taking ice buckets, bowls etc round.
My little nephews spent the week before cutting out flowers for garden decorations while my sister-in-law sorted out bunting, table decorations and everything else requires to make a proper summer garden party.
I somehow managed to keep under wraps that our favourite restaurant who catered our wedding last year, were providing the food for the day and I left the two mums to sort out everything else including drinks.
Luckily everyone arrived just in time, and as we entered my parents garden and rounded the corner, J expected to see my folks, my Dads cousins and few other family members all readying for his birthday. Instead she was confronted by 14 friends and family all shouting Surprise!
J froze for about 3 seconds, unable to take comprehend the whole thing, and then started to blub (blame the hormones) – all captured on video too.
The garden looked stunning, and after 15 minutes or so I headed off with my Dad, Brother and three nephews to play crazy golf and have a McDonald's treat leaving J Baby Shower to start.
Baby Shower Games
This is where my sis-in-law came into her element. Being Columbian but spending a lot of her time growing up in New York, she like most Americans know how to throw a party and completely go over the top. The idea from the outset was to get a bunch of friends round, completely chill out, drink and eat and have a few games thrown in for good measure.
No "Baby" allowed!
Everyone wore a dummy and weren't allowed to say "Baby". If they did, the person who noticed claimed their dummy. At the end of the day, the person with all the dummies, or most, won.
How Many?
Guess the number of Jelly Babies in jar.
Nappy Race
Two people, with one directing the other who is blindfold, on putting on an old fashioned nappy on a doll.
String The Bump
Using a ball of string, each person had to guess the length it would take to fit round J's bump. One "friend" measured enough string that it went round twice!
Prediction Cards
Each filled in a card guessing the date, weight, length, sex, time in labour and name.
Gifts Galore
In the run up to J's Baby Shower, having been asked by many what gifts they could get, I sent our gift wishlist that was originally put together for our family.
As it happened there was still a lot of things we hadn't got round to buy in all price ranges.
We ended up receiving a vast amount of gifts from nappy cakes through to night lights and not one single thing was duplicated. In fact we even received a few items for when Pancake reaches 6mnths so not everything was for Newborn which was nice.
We also received a beautiful Baby Clothes Bouquet from The Bump Company who sent it direct to my parents house ready for the surprise baby shower.
J soon learned that everyone knew about this… everyone but her 🙂 Result!

Micron Enters Flash-Disk Market
The company began sampling the products, with production scheduled for early 2008. Prices were not disclosed; that practice is typical, especially given the volatility of flash memory pricing.
Micron will enter a market already saturated with competitors, although few have the clout of Micron and its chief rival, Samsung.
Micron will target the devices at PC, embedded and blade server applications. Embedded and blades will be designed around a special embedded USB version of the SSD, with capacities ranging from 1 to 8 Gbytes. A low-profile RealSSD module will be used in servers, the company said.
Micron said that its drives would be housed in a chassis that's 50 percent lighter than its competitors, an important consideration in the mobile space. Each notebook drive will include a SATA-2 interface, capable of four read channels, the company said.

Bloomberg View: Why Medicare Needs a Safety Net
It's a little awkward to defend something that doesn't yet exist. But the Independent Payment Advisory Board is in danger of being killed before it's born, thanks to a vote in the House Tuesday, and that would be a mistake — an extremely costly one both for Medicare, the program it's meant to support, and for the entire federal budget.
The payment board is meant to apply a brake on rising Medicare spending. If costs grow beyond a certain level, the IPAB is to come up with cuts to bring them down. (After 2017, the cap is 1 percentage point more than the increase in gross domestic product.) Congress could override those cuts, but only with a three-fifths vote.
So controversial has this board been since its conception in 2010 as a provision of Obamacare that the president has yet to nominate a single one of its 15 members. Until now, the board hasn't been needed, because other forces — including the cuts that other aspects of the Affordable Care Act imposed on Medicare, and, to a lesser degree, the recession — have slowed the growth of health-care costs.

Tony Smith wanted his sculpture to serve as a springboard for the imagination. He believed his configurations of geometric shapes – rhomboids, tetrahedrons and octahedrons – could generate an infinity of associations which would vary with the experiences of the viewer. Smith believed his sculpture to be "speculations in pure form," but of greater importance to him was an interest in myth and the creative powers of the subconscious mind. Gracehoper's black steel sheathing and triangular limbs suggest the greatest feats of contemporary engineering, but at the same time evoke a lumbering prehistoric being. Gracehoper changes dramatically from every angle of viewing: because of its great scale and complexity, it seems animated and static at the same time, particularly as the viewer walks around it.

[Risk No. 94] I was on my morning walk. As I headed down the hill I noticed a man waiting for the bus. The Lord stirred something within me to just talk to him as we waited. I ask him his name and how he was doing. He said his name was Andy and that he was "ok" but that he had been wrestling with sinus / respiratory issues. I couldn't help but ask if I could pray for him, that this would leave his body. He said "sure!" with much excitement and walked toward me. I said a simple prayer for him and blessed him. I didn't think to ask if anything had changed but I could tell a tangible change within him. You could tell this isn't the typical start to the day for someone!
– Corey
Note: Corey "bumped" into Andy the morning after he prayed and received a follow-up report. His sinuses were clear and his breathing was normal. Praise God!

As well as green roofs, in the last few years the vertical green and vertical gardens theme has become a constant architectural element in the projects of both new and renovated buildings.
Besides being a distinguishing element of green architecture, a vertical green system brings many advantages because it creates a kind of `second skin´ for the building:
- It improves its thermal isolation avoiding a direct solar irradiation on the walls, which do not warm up and do not radiate heat inside the building
- It improves its aesthetic impact in comparison with the surrounding buildings
- It contributes to capture fine particles (PM10) in the urban environment
The creation of a green wall starts, above all, from the choice of the type of system. In fact, there are two types of system available: the 'traditional' Climbing Vertical Green created several years ago and a younger system called Vertical Garden.
The first type utilizes the climbing plant capacity to catch hold of proper supporting structures in order to create what we can call a green curtain.
The second type allows to create a real Vertical Garden, putting on the wall plants that we normally find in our gardens and creating an out-and-out piece of art.

A hot trend to watch is the desire of job seekers to search and apply for jobs from a mobile device according to Jobvite's 2014 Job Seeker Nation Report. And there are some other take-aways as well!
Who Is Job Searching?
Jobvite looked at who was on the hunt for a job and it's no surprise that 71% of you are engaged in some sort of job search (In other words, you are unemployed and actively seeking work, employed and actively seeking work, or employed and open to a new job.) And 51% of employed people are actively job seeking or open to new opportunities!
So how are they going about it?
Mobile Devices Are Key
The rise of smart phones and tablets means you have access to information on the go. Almost a third (27%) of job seekers want to use their mobile device to apply for jobs.
And 43% of job seekers have used their mobile devices for "job seeking activities." They've logged in from their beds, in the restroom, while waiting for a bus/train and even while at work!
Job Seekers Updating Profiles and Searching For Jobs
15% of people surveyed said they updated their Facebook profiles from their mobile and 15% said they searched for a job on Facebook. Make note, the data says that younger job seekers are more likely to use mobile devices. This may explain why Facebook percentages are high.
The other point to note is that only 36% of job seekers are using LinkedIn (yet 94% of recruiters are active here!) I hope the Facebook users get the message!
Reasons Recruiters Dismiss Candidates
Good news (maybe) for the Facebook users sharing party photos. Poor grammar, punctuation and profanity in updates are more damaging than posts mentioning alcohol.
Sources for Finding The "Dream Job"
Pay close attention to this! Referrals ROCK! When job seekers were asked how they found their favorite or best job, they credit personal connections! (Think friends, family, and people you know!)
This aligns with what recruiters have found too! 64% of high quality candidates are found through referrals. But don't overlook social networks because 59% of recruiters have found quality candidates there too. 59% credit their corporate career site.
What is your "a-ha" moment from reading this summary? Will you do anything differently?

tracking Success in your business
A problem within your business can be very much like diagnosing a cold. There are symptoms like a cough, sore throat, low grade fever, runny nose, and congestion. The difficulty lies in that those are symptoms of several illnesses like the flu or even early onset pneumonia. If misdiagnosed, you could treat for the wrong illness and could get worse instead of better.
The same is true in business. A problem can be seen as or manifest itself in one way, but could be a symptom of a completely different problem. Human nature tells us that we are usually going to have to change something or spend money to fix what is not working and are eager to get started.
As a small business owner, making sure that the money you spend or areas that you change within your business provide you the return for which you are looking. This is especially true when you are changing parts of your business or spending money in areas that are related to growth and increased sustainability. At the end of the day, we all want to make sure that we fix what is broken, but would it not be even better if we knew exactly how successful we were in our efforts.
In order to see and understand how important metrics are, let us use a specific business example. The sales people were always approaching the Sales Manager for a discount and were telling him the reason they couldn't sell was because the competition had a better website and marketing materials and were trying to convince the owner and manager that if they lowered the product price and created a new website and brochure, sales would increase.
At the end of the day, you need to increase your customer growth, but the question is if you lower your price, and call a web design and marketing company to create a website and brochure, will this increase your sales? The short answer is probably not, because just based on what you are being told, it would be hard to know the underlying problem. If you decide to drop the price, you could be leaving money on the table and eroding your margins without uncovering whether that is the real issue. It could be as simple as the customer not understanding the value of your product versus the competition and your sales force selling just on price alone. It could possibly be an awareness factor that someone needing your product or service searched for the product or service in Google and could not find you. It could even be that the customer does not understand or has been positioned the value that you offer. It could be a combination of all, but you would want to make sure that if you were going to make a change or spend money that you were able to determine where the issue lies and the success rate.
Once you drop the price of a product, it would be very difficult to increase the price again. An example of one way to do this and track the success rate would be to run a time limited promotion. Run the promotion for a time period through your sales reps only and if price is the only issue, there should be an uptake in sales. You would want to track your run rate by sales rep before the promotion and the run rate during the promotion. You would also want to see if there was any overall increase in your sales by lowering the price or whether it eroded your margins or had a negligible increase on your bottom line. Before the promotion begins, you would want to set your required targets for success.
Next you could consider that the products that your prospects are buying from your competitors might have less functionality or the value you had over them is not being articulated by your sales reps or through your communication materials. The sales reps brought up that the competition had a better website and brochure. If we are all honest, no one has ever purchased something because a brochure or website was "more attractive" than the next. To be clear, they all need to be aesthetically pleasing, but the overall graphic design does not make or break the sale. What can is the content itself. As a second step, you could re-position your product or service on your web and in a key marketing piece, along with making sure your sales reps were focused on the value of your product and positioning correctly during the sale. Determine the costs that it will take to do this. Set a time frame to see how this would affect your business without changing any of your prices and measure your success.
The problem with your website may or may not have had anything to do with the look, or even the messaging; it could be that the website was not being found at all through Google or any of the major search engines. A large majority of your prospects today are researching companies that offer the products and services they need online before they ever talk to anyone. If you could not be found, then your company might not appear to be a valuable contender in your industry, therefore prospects might expect to pay less for your product. Even a small company can look big on the web. You would need to determine the cost of Search Engine Optimization for your site. Before you begin, you would want to determine where you are ranked and how many visitors you have today along with your current keywords. You would then want to have someone monitor your progress after SEO is implemented and track whether there was an uptake in sales from this change
Tracking can be simple to implement, but many times is overlooked due to the enthusiasm of trying something new to make a significant impact. It is important to break down change or new spending down into manageable trackable functions to ensure that you will know what you implemented did or did not give you the desired results.
Initially, most people would think that the price is the main issue in this scenario. In the actual situation, it turned out that this was not the case and if the price had just been lowered, the additional revenue generated would not have covered the decrease in margin. Though the website of the competitor was more aesthetic, the company was being found through SEO. The issue was in positioning and articulating the value of the product through both the brochure and the website, so the costs associated were low as they included only wording changes to the web and brochure along with training of the sales reps in articulating the true value and positioning the product correctly against the competition.
Breaking potential problems down into manageable and trackable pieces allowed the company to uncover the true underlying issues that were hindering the growth that the executives were expecting. By running the discount promotion for a short period of time – it became apparent that just decreasing the price was not appropriate. The traffic to the website was in line as well, so prospects were visiting, they were just not contacting. The real issue was that of communicating to the prospect an understanding of the value they were receiving for the price. Though competitors were lower in price, they did not offer the same functionality for the price. This was not articulated through web, marketing materials, or by the sales reps. Once this was articulated properly, sales began to increase and sales reps were not asking to discount the product as they were previously. The business owner was able to see that the few dollars he spent on wording changes increased his product growth by 20% without affecting margin.

Deacon Larry Brockman facilitates a course in Lectio-Prayer, a Scripture lesson in which you READ the Word, REFLECT on the Word, then RESPOND to the Word. The course is Thursdays at 7:15 p.m. in Upper Room B, going Nov. 29; Dec. 6, 13, 20 and Jan. 10, 17.
"Lectio" is a Latin term meaning "reading." Many of the Church Fathers, including Sts. Ambrose, Augustine and Jerome practiced the tradition of READING Sacred Scripture for prayer and REFLECTION. From this study on prayer, we can learn the depth of God's love for us and RESPOND.
The course uses the book The Study God for Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God to unlock the full Lectio experience. This study will help you dive into the Advent and Christmas seasons. The book will be available soon in the Gift and Book Store (cost TBA). Click here to reserve your copy. Formed.org also has videos that will complement the course. Click here for these videos.

Chemical Security Assessment Tool (CSAT)
The Chemical Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) is an online portal that houses the surveys facilities must submit so the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can determine which facilities are considered high-risk under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS).
CSAT houses surveys and applications for the Top-Screen, Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA), Site Security Plan (SSP) and Personnel Surety Program (PSP).
In September 2016, CSAT 2.0 was released in conjunction with the CFATS enhanced tiering methodology to improve integration between surveys and to more appropriately identify and tier high-risk chemical facilities. CSAT 2.0 consists of the revised and streamlined Top-Screen, SVA, and SSP surveys.
Visit the CSAT SSP Revisions webpage to learn more about the CSAT 2.0 updates to the SVA and SSP surveys.
Register to Access CSAT
CSAT is a secure web-based system that can only be accessed by Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI) certified individuals. After completing CVI training, facilities should register for a user identification and password on the CSAT website. The Department will validate a facility's registration and notify the facility on how to access CSAT.
Facilities can then login to CSAT to complete the Top-Screen survey. The information a facility submits in the Top-Screen is used by the Department to determine if they are considered a high-risk chemical facility covered by CFATS.
If a facility is considered high-risk, the SVA and SSP surveys will unlock in their CSAT account.
Submit a Top-Screen in CSAT 2.0
- Check CSAT account. Log in to your CSAT account and select the "Update My Information" link to confirm that all information is correct and up-to-date. If you are unable to access your account, please contact the CFATS Help Desk at (866) 323-2957.
- Review the updated CSAT 2.0 user manuals. Become more familiar with CSAT 2.0 with the CSAT 2.0 Portal User Manual and the CSAT 2.0 Survey Application User Manual.
- Review the updated Top-Screen Instructions and SVA/SSP Instructions.
- Contact the CFATS Help Desk. Call (866) 323-2957 or find a CFATS Compliance Case Manager or your local Chemical Security Inspector by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Learn more. Read the implementation notice published in the Federal Register.
Update CSAT Account Information
To ensure that a facility continues to receive CFATS and CSAT communications, the Department encourages individuals to log into CSAT and select the "Update My Information" link to confirm that all information is correct and up-to-date. This tool allows individuals to edit information entered during CSAT registration, and may be used to:
- Update personal information (address, phone number, etc.)
- Change password
- Transfer responsibilities to another CSAT user
Note: If you have more than one username, please remember to update the information associated with each one.

This week I taught on the word "hatha."
"The nature of yoga is to shine the light of awareness into the darkest corners of the body."
- Jason Crandell
Hatha (pronounced huh-tuh) has multiple meanings. In the modern context, the word is generally used to describe classes that are alignment-based and non-flowing. Even more generally, the word hatha describes any kind of yoga practice that emphasizes yoga asana, or postures.
Hatha, however, is older than the modern yoga class, and carries complex implications relating to the cycle of light and life. Hatha is a blend word, combining "ha," meaning sun, and "tha," meaning moon. Metaphorically speaking, hatha yoga is the path of yoga that traces the turning of the sun and the moon.
The symbolism of the sun is power, strength, and heat. The sun is more consistent in its form and therefore implies a sense of steadiness. We find this in the warming phase of an asana practice, in sun salutations, in the muscles' ability to raise our temperature when they are engaged. In contrast, the moon changes appearance as it waxes and wanes. It symbolizes tranquility, subtlety, and nuance. The moon is alignment, the ability to subtly mould the physical form, to soften into the mysterious physical spaces.
Beyond the mat, hatha yoga is an invitation to a luminous life. Like light filtering down through clear water, the rays of our consciousness provide the energy needed for life to blossom below the surface. With the light of our discerning attention, of the warm sun or the cool moonlight, we illuminate the shallows, the currents, and the depths inside, and in turn the vastness of our inner ocean will churn into life.

August 17th was set to be a big news day here in Australia. The country was just days away from the major election that had been dominating the media for weeks and massive floods were devastating Pakistan. On top of those two major headlines, there was a flare up around the Gaza border, a local toddler was kidnapped in a carjacking prompting the local version of an Amber Alert to be issued, and a major factory fire on the outskirts of Sydney was threatening to burn down an entire suburb. But all of this was completely ignored the instant that a breaking news story popped up:
That's right. The political fate of the nation, thousands of dying Pakistanis, and the imminent fiery destruction of an entire suburb all became irrelevant thanks to a shark. A surfer near the Margaret River area of Western Australia was attacked by a shark in the early morning hours. Locals rescued the man and tried to keep him alive, but their efforts proved unsuccessful. Not to make light of the situation, and not to disrespect the poor soul who lost his life to a sea beast, but it captivated me just how captivated the whole country was with this story.
You think about Australian beaches as hotbeds of shark activity – with those ominous fins poking out of the water at every beach in Australia nearly every day of the year. But, seven months after I arrived, this was the first shark attack that I had seen make the news. The shark attack was the headline of every major Australian newspaper and internet news site and was the top story on every TV news program for the next 48 hours. Even my co-workers were talking about it all day – refreshing Sydney Morning Herald's website every once in a while for an update. It struck me as odd that this was such a big deal for people in a country where this was assumed to be commonplace.
But it was a big deal. I looked up some statistics on this. And by statistics, I mean Wikipedia… and a few other websites as well. Maybe. It seems our minds are a bit warped on just how dangerous sharks are or how frequently (or rather infrequently) shark attacks occur. Yes, sharks can be very dangerous, but the severity of the problem is really just an exaggerated myth. Australia's shark-infested waters actually give rise to fewer shark attacks than in the USA each year, though Australia is ranked #2. In Australia's defense, have you seen the length of the coastline here? That being said, very few people actually die from shark attacks – only a handful per year and those aren't very often in developed countries like the USA or Australia. You're much more likely to get killed by lightning or run down by an Asian, elderly, teenage, drunk, or female driver.
Who said that?
Hell, you're several thousand times more likely to simply drown than be killed by a shark. So really, you should brush up on your swimming skills. This turned out to be quite a rare event after all and that's probably one of the contributing reasons why it caught the attention and the hearts of the nation. You don't hear about every death from a drive-by shooting in Compton because it's commonplace. But this was rare and, more importantly, it touched on the fears that we all have thanks to movies like Jaws and Deep Blue Sea.
Good work, LL Cool J.
Experts in this field said that seals were seen in the area that day, and the shark probably mistook the surfer for a seal. Just a week or so later, a heavy-set Serbian tourist was swimming in the waters off Montenegro when a local mistook her for a big fat whale and harpooned her. Don't believe me?
It's not just sharks that you need to beware of at the beach. It's Montenegrins too. They should make a Jaws-style movie about that.
Just to be safe, I'll stay out of the water for a while. At least until I hit up the gym a bit more regularly.

If you've been stingy with the starchy vegetables like potatoes, corn and peas on your dinner plate, you may have some leeway with adding more of them to your diet. The Institute of Medicine says that Americans are falling behind on their intake of these foods, according to NPR.
I like the sound of this. Someone's telling me I'm not eating enough starchy vegetables? Dig out my potato masher, please.
The IOM cites the government's 2010 dietary guidelines, the ones that led to the food pyramid's demise and the birth of MyPlate, for the change. The guidelines advise, for instance, that someone who consumes 1800-2000 calories a day should eat 5 cups of starchy vegetables a week. The IOM has raised its recommendation from 3 cups because of these new guidelines.
Another reason for the increase in the recommended amount of starchy vegetables is likely due to the National Potato Council's lobbying of Congress to include white potatoes in the WIC Nutrition Program. About a year ago when the guidelines for the program were being changed, Congress said it would continue to leave potatoes out of the WIC program because IOM said "WIC mothers already buy plenty of them."
After months of lobbying, though, Congress caved to the potato lobbyists who said their product's reputation was being damaged by its exclusion in a nutrition program. White potatoes are now permitted in WIC.
Of course, no one is recommending eating a large order of fast food French fries every night or even a big bowl of homemade mashed potatoes, but it seems that adding a serving or two more of potatoes, corn and peas each week is now considered nutritionally sound advice.
