Note: Bryan Collier has had to cancel his originally scheduled appearance at Greenlight.
Award-winning artist Bryan Collier is a Greenlight favorite, and the staff reads his new book at Story Time today along with some other favorites by the author. Collier captures the hardship and the spirit of one of the most inspiring figures in American history in Fifty Cents and a Dream, bringing to life Booker T. Washington's journey to learn, to read, and to realize a dream. Born into slavery, young Booker T. Washington could only dream of learning to read and write. After emancipation, Booker began a five-hundred-mile journey, mostly on foot, to Hampton Institute, taking his first of many steps towards a college degree. When he arrived, he had just fifty cents in his pocket and a dream about to come true. The young slave who once waited outside of the schoolhouse would one day become a legendary educator of freedmen. Join us for a celebration of Bryan's work, just in time for Black History Month. Ages 3 to 8.

A STROLL, A RAMBLE, A TRUDGE..gardening in Vermont..an old gardener looking for new tricks while moving from the purely floral to jabbing at sustainability via vegetables and fruits.

Open the windows every once in a while,
why don't ya?
'airing out' was the term employed as I was growing up..
Yeah, got to thinking about this while doing woodstove chores and it's been an ongoing internal dialogue for a couple of weeks now.
There are many official places to read about firewood, fireplace and woodstove safety..All I might add is to follow the rules and use your common sense and, most importantly, pay attention. Paying attention, for me, is the sign of a truly evolved human. Sadly, I come up short too frequently in that category...Nevertheless: ONE MUST TRY!
Besides the obvious necessary cleanings of chimneys and hardware and such I feel of additional importance is the cleaning of the air your lungs require.
Now most people hereabout are concerned, rightly so, about the heat escaping as many of us live in houses aged enough to have a gap or two. (And don't even go near the conversation of HOW people in the not too distant future will stay warm..I shudder metaphorically and will perhaps literally someday).
But a bit of escaping heat is not all bad. To live hermetically sealed in with mega-insulation can create some hairy built up gases and such. Stale, unclean air. So open a damned window every once in a while!
Full Disclosure: This was typed while the temp was actually a hair above freezing for the first time in ages and the air completely still. However, the more arctic the windy blast through the house, the sooner you shut the window! Simple.

Some grow up in households that thump bibles or drink to distraction and those 'traumas' indeed imprint on mushy kid brains coloring them ever afterward. In my case the imprint branded in this old gal's child mind was one of Yankee frugality, waste not want not, be prepared, respect living things and to cultivate a healthy dose of skepticism will rarely fail one.
So with varying degrees of success I've been doing that since dinosaurs roamed. Hence whenever I hear the term I gotta snort a bit and shake my head at a culture-at-large, (that I happen to share this ever shrinking planet with), seemingly to have been brought up to do just the opposite.
Placed in my 'When I Rule The World' folder yesterday was a note, "Every child should be encouraged to explore a hobby that requires neither electricity or ammunition to enjoy"....I can only wonder at the level of creativity that might engender..ah well.
ON TO REALITY: Since my future dreams include never having to buy salad greens again I lessen the pain of currently doing so by knowing that the clear plastic shells it comes in can make the dandiest little mini greenhouses. I poke little holes in the top and bottom for transpiration and in these I start alot of my seeds. The especially good part is that the lid snaps shut and it's rodent proof. Nothing irks more than to discover the destruction of just one nocturnal visit from the citizens of Rodentia after babying a bunch of seedlings for a couple weeks.
Additionally I like those boxes clementines come in as a good container for seedlings bumped up and they're deep enough not to dry out in two seconds. And finally, I'm a sucker for any kind of tin. They're great for storing seed or well, anything.

before enlightenment: shovel snow, make paths
after enlightenment:
shovel snow
make paths
anyhoo, I think I like the workout from clearing a pathway...go for a few minutes, take deep breaths, keep going. We,(meaning the collective, the 'culture' out there), grew up thinking it was such a terrible chore. Guys my age routinely keeling over from heart attacks due to the stress of snow shoveling .
So I asked myself this morning, "Do I like doing this?"
Answer: Not too complicated, not too nuanced..."Well, I really don't mind it all that much..hey wait a minute, I'm sort of digging this...literally and otherwise."
Let's not go overboard and call it fun but I feel good, my lungs feel good. We've no critters in outbuildings, (yet), so I guess I don't NEED to shovel...no lives depend on these paths as they do for so many others. Maybe, at the end of it, I just like the 'notion' of paths. hmmmmm.

oh dear, seed catalogues
just a few of what's come of late...and it's tough for me being both frugal as well as a junkie.
Trying to sift through them, checking last year's notes, trying to remember who seems to deal in the freshest seed, open pollinated, heirloom, F1 hybrids, timely delivery, actually getting what you've ordered and that stuff I'll just get from work...and oh yes, factor in the leaping growth of home gardening, (yes, a good thing but a thing too that seemed to catch the companies unaware).
Oh, and the lure of the actual seed racks and oh, there are such places not far from here that stock the seed of 20+ companies right before my greedy eyes.
And then the new little companies, just starting up, online mostly...want to encourage them, throw them some biz.
And then those that disappointed and/or continued to disappoint.
So you sniff around, look and listen hoping to pick up good tips or to be pointed in the right direction at least.
And then there are those seeds you yourself have collected..You know they are unadulterated and fresh. But so limited and you want to try new things even if it might seem 'contra indicated' in your particular zone.
And finally, most importantly, you give yourself 'the talking to'. What do you REALLY want/need? What are you willing to store/process? And yes, you may like EVERYTHING but what will the folks you break bread with actually eat?
Ok, I'm just typing out loud here. I am still deciding what 2010's gardens will be. I know I took losing 80+ tomato plants and a couple of rows of potatoes to blight last year pretty hard, especially seeing as those are things people like to eat. Additionally I had alot more predation on my nearly non existent winter squash crop. Oh, that one stung. Indeed it did. I put alot of hope in that squash basket. But I'm not whining, just commenting.
So, so far I've decided on more root crops and a helluva lot more greens. And, to broaden my palate, my prepping, my experimentation. It really is all good.

Put it on their bill
The New Orleans Hornets will be the New Orleans Pelicans next season. This season, they're sitting ducks. I mean, 119-74? Okay, Anthony Davis was unwell, and Eric Gordon hasn't been doing the second night of back-to-backs lately as a precautionary measure, but still, this has to be viewed as a debacle in the Big Easy. Monty Williams had said that if the Bees didn't bring their A-game, they could be "embarrassed"; give the man points for prescience.
And actually, New Orleans was in it for the first 20 minutes or so, having cut a double-digit Thunder lead down to four. Then the OKC Dominance Mode kicked in: the Thunder ran that lead back to seventeen at halftime, to thirty-six after three, and after that you had to wonder if the third string might be pulled to give the Thunder Girls a chance to play. As it was, we got to see the New Guys: Derek Fisher (now wearing #6 before they'd had a chance to finish Eric Maynor's laundry) sent up four long-range bricks, but did the playmaker thing pretty well, and Ronnie Brewer pulled down four boards in twelve minutes. And we got to see Russell Westbrook dominate things early on and finish with a nice 29 points, while Kevin Durant tossed up his third triple-double (18 points/11 rebounds/10 assists) and Serge Ibaka asserted himself as a shooter (9-11 for 18). Let the record show that Reggie Jackson got one minute more than Fisher, and scored 14, tied with Kevin Martin for bench high and with the Hornets' Ryan Anderson, the only New Orleans player to finish in double figures at all. You have to figure that the Hornets are glad this series is over.
Now things get complicated. Western powers must be dealt with on their home courts: the Nuggets Friday night, the Clippers Sunday afternoon. And then, just for fun, the Lakers will be coming to the 'Peake. Here's to a little inhospitality.

Men's Tissot
It's 'since 1853 that Tissot produces men's and women's watches who have marked the history of Swiss made watchmaking. The men's watches models are many and various. Starting with the Tissot Tradition collection we notice models characterized by leather straps, for the most part, or steel. They have essential dials from white to gray, to black. Hour markers are Roman or Arabic and the cases are silver or rose-gold. The result that Tissot wants to achieve is a refined elegance, simple and straightforward style. We then go to Sports models and dials more complex of Tissot PRC200 and PRS200 collections with steel straps in silver or anthracite color with a dual processing and dials that range from white to blue and black. Another interesting and particularly variation compared to other models is the Quickster collection that is equipped with Tissot just time and chronograph watches with a technical texture strap. T-Touch watches, like T-Race Touch, are in the various collections masterpieces that have a sporty style while maintaining the elegance and impeccable taste of Tissot. A top model is the T-Touch Expert solar, feeding on solar energy and Tissot is one of the first brands that use this technology. The gladiator among Tissot collections is certainly the model of the collection T-complication squelette with an exceptional dial visual mechanism in which are embedded rubies that make it unique and valued. In the Tissot watches production there is all the precision and quality of Swiss watchmaking. The impeccable taste of Tissot has taken him around the world on the podium of the best.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh brought seven new faces into his Cabinet yesterday in the biggest reshuffle since his re-election as he tried to revive his party's flagging fortunes before polls due in 2014.
Singh named Salman Khurshid, 59, as a replacement for the 80-year-old foreign minister S.M. Krishna as he attempted to dispel the image of a struggling government, which recently lost its majority.
However there was no place at the Cabinet table for Rahul Gandhi, the 42-year-old scion of the Gandhi-Nehru political dynasty, who once again turned down an offer to enter government.
Speaking to reporters after a swearing-in ceremony for the new ministers, Singh said he expected his new team to remain in office until the next elections.
"Probably this is the last reshuffle," the prime minister said at the presidential palace in New Delhi. "I don't see early elections. Elections will be held in due course."
The law ministry went to Ashwani Kumar, a ruling Congress party loyalist. The other newcomers include Rahman Khan who was named as minority affairs minister, Ajay Maken who becomes housing minister and Dinsha Patel who is now mines minister.
They will be joined by Pallam Raju, who was promoted to human resources development minister. Harish Rawat was placed in charge of water resources and Chandresh Kumari was appointed culture minister.
Singh named parliamentary affairs minister Pawan Kumar Bansal as new railways minister, a post which became vacant following the pullout of a regional ally, Trinamool, from the ruling coalition last month.
The government has been mired in scandal in recent months, most notably by revelations surrounding the tender process for state-owned coal mines.
Economic growth, which had been touching double figures at the beginning of Singh's second term, has now slowed down to about 5 percent.
Trinamool's pullout in protest at a series of economic reforms means the government is now a minority administration. It is in no immediate danger of falling as it has secured the support of another regional party that is outside the Cabinet.
Analysts doubted that yesterday's ministerial overhaul would do much for Congress' fortunes when the country votes in an election scheduled for the spring of 2014.
"The Cabinet reshuffle is a wake-up call which has come too late, just as the big-ticket reforms have come too late," said Ajay Saha, a political scientist at Delhi University.
Khurshid, who is a Muslim, said the new ministers were expected to think "out of the box".
The new foreign minister told reporters that he saw "great opportunities ... but also great challenges to peace and prosperity in our world."
Singh confirmed that he had offered a Cabinet post to Rahul Gandhi, whose father, grandmother and great-grandfather all served as prime minister, but the offer was declined.
"I wanted Rahul Gandhi in government, but he wants to strengthen the party," Singh said.
Gandhi currently serves as a member of parliament and heads the youth wing of the main ruling Congress party.

Multiple Sclerosis Prognosis
Multiple sclerosis can progress quickly or slowly, and symptoms can be mild or severe. What's more, doctors can diagnose the disease quickly, or it may take years to pinpoint an MS diagnosis. Factors that affect a person's prognosis with multiple sclerosis include the type of MS and how well he or she recovers from each attack.
One of the frustrations for newly diagnosed patients is the uncertainty of living with a potentially debilitating disease. In the first few years of multiple sclerosis (MS), there is no way to confidently identify individuals who may have a benign course of the disease and those who will have a more active course.
Therefore, it is difficult to predict the average life expectancy for someone diagnosed with MS -- the prognosis depends on several different factors.
The average life expectancy for someone with MS is 35 years after the symptoms begin. This represents a life expectancy of 95 percent of someone who does not have multiple sclerosis.
Most people with the disease can function effectively; however, a rare form of acute MS can be fatal within weeks.
There are a few clues that might indicate the speed at which multiple sclerosis will progress.
The disease might progress more slowly if:
- Fewer attacks occur in the first several years after being diagnosed
- Longer intervals occur between episodes
- Complete recovery occurs from episodes
- Episodes are sensory in nature and cause symptoms like numbness and tingling.
MS might progress more quickly if the following occur:
- More attacks happen during the first several years
- Attacks occur more frequently
- Incomplete recovery from episodes
- Motor symptoms like tremors, coordination problems, and difficulty walking are present
- More lesions are seen on magnetic resonance (MR) images early on.

Showing on Tuesday 4/5/2016 at The Hollywood Theatre
"Last Man Standing" stars Tim Allen as Mike Baxter, an "average Joe" who runs a sporting goods store in Denver, and who is surrounded by women—his wife and three daughters.
Wait a sec.. wrong Wikipedia page! Ah, here we go:
LAST MAN STANDING stars Bruce Willis as an aimless drifter during Prohibition. He drives into a small Texas bordertown and is entangled with the Irish mob and a corrupt police force. It's up to him to free the town from the iron grip of two opposing gangs. Like A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, it's essentially a remake of Kurosawa's YOJIMBO…
Damn—oh wait. Pulled up the wrong Wikipedia page again. Writing reviews is hard!
Well, there's no Wikipedia page for this one, so I guess I'll have to wing it.
LAST MAN STANDING from PM Entertainment is by far the best, most entertaining thing called LAST MAN STANDING, and that's saying a lot (see above). We've been doing B-Movie Bingo for about ten years now, and if there's one thing we've learned, PM Entertainment is the best at producing "A-quality films in a competitive marketplace… with increased budgets ranging from $2m-$6m."
According to a promo in a 1995 issue of movie industry trade magazine Screen International, LAST MAN STANDING is an "action-packed, stunt-filled movie in which more than 100 cars are destroyed." You don't have to tell me twice—that's a good movie!
Jeff WIncott ("Night Heat", MARTIAL LAW 2) stars as the chain-smoking Kurt Bellmore, a good cop on the LAPD, but who has a tendency to play by his own rules. His partner, veteran cop "Doc", is played by Jonathan Banks, who we all know now as Mike from "Breaking Bad". When they're not at Doc's senile mom's house (where Doc lives), they're after a super-criminal named "Snake Underwood" (Jonathan Fuller, CASTLE FREAK, "Homeboys in Outer Space"), who LOVES being a bad guy, and proclaims to be Errol Flynn more than once. When Doc is "accidentally" killed by a corrupt cop, Kurt realizes he and his busty wife (Jillian McWhirter, PROGENY, THE DENTIST 2) are in danger from both sides of the law, as the race to see who's the "last man standing" reaches its riveting climax.
Directed by Joseph Merhi (EXECUTIVE TARGET, ZERO TOLERANCE).

Um yeeaaaah ... the next time you see 100+ guests visiting within 30 minutes you maybe oughta take a look at the IP addresses
For the most part they will be bots, especially iffen you see Google and/or Bing visiting They frequently come in a swarm BUT you will see only one Bing or Google being listed. I restrict google and bing to 10 simultaneous connections, because they are generally well behaved, other bots get 5 or less. I also completely block Baidu and a few other poorly behaved bots along with 100 to 200 new spambots per day
Anywho iffen ya want a better estimation of guests and users visiting see if Jime will show you the google analytics unique IP visits
Posted 26 April 2019 - 11:26 PM
I thought because there seems to be a lot of guests looking at different posts; we had a lot of guests.
Posted 27 April 2019 - 02:17 AM
Posted 27 April 2019 - 02:38 PM
However, somewherez in the administrative section there will also be an area to identify bots and assign names It's how you can see Google and Bing are visiting without them actually being members. The thang to remember is that bots are very very fast and can come in swarms like 10 googlebots at once each reading 10 pages, then depending on how a system defines a guest reading {like number of pages requested} there can appear to be many more visitors than they actually are.
On the plus side it makes it look like a forum is very popular especially if you change it to visitors per day instead of 30 minutes The downside is a lot of bots are email harvesters, spam/hack bots or just poorly constructed user agents AND they can eat up a lot of bandwidth and burn up CPU time.
Using a lot of bandwidth and CPU, especially on a shared system, slows everything down and acts like a DoS attack. Plus it can stress out your MySQL database and it really sucks having to rebuild a MySQL database when it borks on account of some dubious bot wasn't playing nice
Anywho don't worry ... the point I'm trying to make is the guest number isn't right Jim said his google ads paid out about $6 a month, there are a lot of factors BUT that sounds like the 1k to 5k ballpark of unique IP addresses That's around 100 real peoplez per DAY not 30 minutes Also that's purty good for a simple forum

DONA Trained Birth Doula
VBAC/Breastfeeding Educator

Website: www.mommalovebirthclass.com
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hello, my name is Amber Magee. I am married to my amazing husband Josh and am Mother to two interesting, inquisitive boys and a sweet, sassy little girl!
My passion for birth began at a very young age and continues to grow as I experience my own pregnancies. I believe that labor and birth is a natural process, the less interventions medically is best for both mother and baby. However, birth is very unpredictable so it is of importance to me to provide support to Mom and her partner no matter what situation may arise.
I have had 3 very different births myself. My first birth was an induction and had every medical intervention which ultimately led to a cesarean. My second birth was a planned VBAC but quickly led to a cesarean due to my child being born with a rare birth defect. My third birth was successful VBA2C and very healing for me!
Having first hand experience in VBAC and Gentle Cesarean birth, I am passionate about supporting families through these options. In addition to doula services, I teach "Not Your Mama's VBAC Class" and "Breastfeeding 101" through Momma Love Birth Services.
I am a DONA trained Doula, currently pursuing certification, with emphasis in breastfeeding and lactation support. Every birth is different and every experience makes me more in love with my work. The diversity of assistance required and provided in each birth excites me for the next. I love helping couples prepare for their birth and am rewarded by seeing them pursue the experience they desire.
I love supporting, educating, and empowering not only Moms, but Dads too!
If you are interested in learning more about my services, please feel free to contact me with questions or to schedule a meet up!

From May 7 to May 28, I did what I could never imagine I would do this year: Writing between 300 and 1000 words every day for 21 days. When I think that writing an article a week seemed almost impossible for me at the beginning of this year, I am happy this writing routine made me write 21 blog posts that could cover four months of publishing. I am glad to share with you how it happened and how it built confidence in me concerning my writing skills. This article also concludes the series of articles I wrote during that period.
I had no idea it will last 21 days. After the first seven days of writing, I remember what Brian Tracy said in one of his motivational speech: if you do something for 21 days, it becomes a habit. I told myself, why not trying it; I will write an article every day for the 14 remaining days. I asked myself on what should I write?
I wrote down in my notebook every ideas and article titles that flowed out of my mind. I also listened to podcasts to find inspiration; I went back into unpublished articles and suddenly, my draft was full of topics to write on.
The best time to write for me was immediately after I woke up. During the day, I could also write but I maximized the first hours of the day on writing something. Most of the time, I finished writing an article within 30 minutes to one hour. I did it without editing or proofreading; just writing. It's after the 21 days that I edited most of the articles. Some were edited after I wrote every single word the same day and I made sure I rounded up the topic.
Most of the topics were storytelling which made it easy to write because I had a focal point to start with. When I had difficulties to have words, I simply answer the question "what is the real life situation I want to use to illustrate my ideas". Once I remembered one or many of such situations, I chose the one that reflect the most what I wanted to communicate in my article.
I also wrote depending on my audiences. Who will read me? The answer made me differentiate my contents into four categories: Writing Management, Business and entrepreneurship, organizational and personal development, Cross-cultural management. It was easy to write articles in the same category then move to another one.
I faced two major challenges during this period. The first one was to write most of the articles in English being a French Native; On the 21 articles I wrote, only 4 were written in French. The powerful motivation behind writing in English was that it makes me develop more creative skills. The second challenge was to reach the appropriate number of words for some article; I remember I spent a day on a topic and I could not write more than 300 words. What a frustration! The next day, I had to work on two articles at the same time. The most important was that I succeeded to produce an acceptable length for the article.
I felt very excited with the idea of writing a coming book in 21 days. I told myself: "If I could write 1000 words every day at the pick of my writing performance, what if I invest on writing every day for 21 days? I could write 21000 words for a book every 3 months!"
I learned the importance of a writing plan if I have to do it next time. I am ready to write my first novel in 21 days as soon as I find a spot to invest in. I am now convinced it's possible to write a blog post every day. I thought it was impossible but, during these 21 days, I acquired the writing habits and management necessary to grow in the writing business.
I was very encouraged by my wife who came back home one day and asked me once how many articles I wrote? Two friends also valued my writings by finding them inspirational. Two LinkedIn professionals were amazed at my effort and courage to write in English as they read one of my blog posts. I considered these appreciations as small rewards that prepare a greater work.
What topics will you write on for the next 21 days ? Choose the period that fit you , plan what to write and start writing.

Hedgies vs Obama
Jim Chanos claims not to understand why hedgies are so critical of Barack Obama: after all, they've done pretty well for themselves over the past three years. But maybe this chart, from Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez, might help him out:
What we see here is the very strong correlation between tax cuts for the rich (on the x-axis) and increased wealth for the rich (on the y-axis). This correlation comes as no surprise, of course. But Obama doesn't want tax cuts for the rich: he wants to roll their taxes back to Clinton-era levels. Instead, he wants lower taxes for the middle classes, which won't help hedge fund managers at all.
As Piketty and Saez note, lower top marginal tax rates don't translate into higher growth — which means that the extra wealth going to the 1% really is a zero-sum game, and being taken out of the pockets of the 99%.
But it's hard for a gazillionaire to come out and say that he wants more of everybody else's money. So instead we get this kind of thing, wherein Leon Cooperman pulls out every rhetorical trick in the book in an open letter to Barack Obama:
What I can justifiably hold you accountable for is your and your minions' role in setting the tenor of the rancorous debate now roiling us that smacks of what so many have characterized as "class warfare". Whether this reflects your principled belief that the eternal divide between the haves and have-nots is at the root of all the evils that afflict our society or just a cynical, populist appeal to his base by a president struggling in the polls is of little importance. What does matter is that the divisive, polarizing tone of your rhetoric is cleaving a widening gulf, at this point as much visceral as philosophical, between the downtrodden and those best positioned to help them. It is a gulf that is at once counterproductive and freighted with dangerous historical precedents. And it is an approach to governing that owes more to desperate demagoguery than your Administration should feel comfortable with.
The first thing to note, here, as Piketty and Saez show, is that the 1% are not actually the people "best positioned to help" the 99%. When the 1% do well, the 1% do well. But that rising tide is nowhere to be seen.
But there's another question raised by Cooperman's letter, and Andrew Ross Sorkin phoned up Cooperman to ask it. What, exactly, is he referring to when he talks about Obama's "divisive, polarizing tone"? Go on, take a guess. Here's the answer:
"What pushed me over the fence was the president's dialogue over the debt ceiling," Mr. Cooperman said, explaining that just when it seemed like a compromise was near, President Obama went on national television and pressed harder on "millionaires and billionaires," a phrase that has stuck in the craw of many of the elite. For example, Mr. Cooperman zeroed in on what he described as the president's belittling remarks about taxing the wealthy: "If you are a wealthy C.E.O. or hedge fund manager in America right now, your taxes are lower than they have ever been. They are lower than they have been since the 1950s. And they can afford it," the president said back in June. "You can still ride on your corporate jet. You're just going to have to pay a little more."
This just doesn't make sense. Cooperman supported Obama in the 2008 election, when he trotted out the line about "tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires" many times. And the corporate-jet line was a specific reference to a specific tax break which Obama wanted to abolish as part of the deal.
I think the real reason that Cooperman has started throwing his toys out of the pram right now is Occupy Wall Street — a movement which is more opposed to Obama than aligned with him. But saner heads, like venture capitalist Nick Hanauer, understand that higher taxes on millionaires and billionaires are a necessary part of any successful fiscal policy going forwards:
Without consumers, you can't have entrepreneurs and investors. And the more we have happy customers with lots of disposable income, the better our businesses will do.
That's why our current policies are so upside down. When the American middle class defends a tax system in which the lion's share of benefits accrues to the richest, all in the name of job creation, all that happens is that the rich get richer.
And that's what has been happening in the U.S. for the last 30 years.
Rich businesspeople like me don't create jobs. Middle-class consumers do, and when they thrive, U.S. businesses grow and profit. That's why taxing the rich to pay for investments that benefit all is a great deal for both the middle class and the rich.
So let's give a break to the true job creators. Let's tax the rich like we once did and use that money to spur growth by putting purchasing power back in the hands of the middle class. And let's remember that capitalists without customers are out of business.
Hanauer's absolutely right: the idea that millionaires (that is, people with seven-figure incomes) are job creators simply isn't borne out by any empirical evidence whatsoever. And I particularly like NPR's idea of asking the GOP to point to a single business owner who would hire fewer people if the top marginal tax rate were to go up. Astoundingly, in a country of 300 million people, they couldn't find a single one.
So while people like Cooperman are interesting as a political phenomenon, their rhetoric doesn't stand up to scrutiny. I do, however, continue to wonder at the ability of the Republican Party to sell higher incomes for the 1% to the public as a whole. Is there any other country in the world where a major political party panders so cravenly to such a tiny base — and gets broad political support for doing so?

The division has outstanding amenities to support geochemical analysis. Except these last, virtually all rocks contain felspars or feldspathoid minerals. The Group encourages and organises conferences, workshops, programs and seminars. The geochemistry of the goal rock bodies and the geothermal fluids are crucial points for the entire process as they have a basic effect on the feasibility of the expertise.
The concepts explored are primarily based on experiences in previous projects and developments in other fields, primarily the oil and gas sector. Those include also broad expertise in hydraulic, thermal and chemical information analysis and a fundamental background in thermal-hydraulic reservoir simulations.
The primary research activity fields are investigation of geothermal system and CCS, focusing on reservoir engineering and water rock interplay. Here we report evolutions of permeability and water chemistry noticed in core-flood experiments using CO2-charged fluids below formation circumstances.
Geochemistry is the department of Earth Science that applies chemical ideas to deepen an understanding of the Earth system and techniques of different planets. 2005 Instructing Geochemistry Workshop : A workshop on instructing undergraduate geochemistry was held Might 18-20, 2005 on the University of Idaho in Moscow, ID. This workshop preceded the 2005 Annual Goldschmidt Conference.
The geochemist's job is to know this information and make knowledgeable choices on a spread of commercial and scientific analysis functions. On one hand, this truth is an actual benefit concerning for example the balneology use, as a result of there many various mineral and medicinal waters in Hungary.

Regardless of how much income you earn, you probably have other people who depend on you financially. You wouldn't want to have your kids, aging parents or other groups of people who you have taken responsibility for to suddenly lose their support. Remember, although death is certain, its timing is very uncertain; as uncomfortable as the thought may be, you need to accept the possibility that you could die at any time. While contributing money towards your retirement savings is a good idea, you should also think of the risk of you dying before you can reach retirement age. Your dependents may not be able to live very well or for very long off of your retirement savings.
That's where your Virginia life insurance comes in. Life insurance pays your beneficiaries a certain amount when you die, irrespective of whether you just paid your first premium or have been paying into your insurance for decades. The benefit amount varies depending on the ability of an individual to pay; therefore, if you can afford to pay more, then your beneficiaries will receive more upon your death.
If you want to be paid the benefit amount yourself if you live past a certain period of time, you want to get term life insurance. With this type of insurance, you can redeem the premiums plus a return on investment after the expiration date of your coverage. If you die before the policy expires, your dependents will also be paid the entire benefit either in one lump sum or in periodic installments over time.
Periodic, or installment, payments are often a beneficial arrangement for your heirs. This type of arrangement ensures that beneficiaries have a steady source of income to finance different projects. For example, beneficiaries can re-invest insurance company proceeds in various businesses to earn a good return and multiply their disposable income. Your inheritance could then be passed on for generations to come because of excellent investment decisions made with the original benefits of your life insurance policy
Life insurance benefits are also sometimes used to finance burial expenses. Your heirs won't be at peace if you've left them a lot of assets but they don't give you a decent burial. You would also not want them to start selling assets to finance your burial, especially if the assets in question are family heirlooms you left to them.
For all of these reasons, it's important to have proper life insurance coverage. Life insurance allows your heirs to have a good quality of life if you should die suddenly as well as ensuring that they can afford to give you the burial you deserve.
Call a Salzberg Insurance Agent today at 757-583-1828 to figure out which policy works best for you.

Embedded System
Florian Lechner, Daniel Walter firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com November 8, 2006
This text provides a brief introduction to the wide field of embedded systems. It covers the history and the main aspects of hard- and software design for embedded systems. The basic concepts of synthesis and automated verification are introduced and a short overview of well-known metrics, which are used to describe the economical and technical attributes of a system, is provided. Additionally the differences between commonly used operating systems are discussed.
Figure 1: Minuteman I Guidance System
Embedded systems are computers which are part of special-purpose devices. Due to the limited duties this systems can be highly optimized to the particular needs. Traditionally most of this systems are used for control and process measurement, as a side-effect of higher integration of integrated circuits more complex applications can be solved by embedded systems. To be able to solve this problems embedded systems are commonly equipped with various kinds of peripherals. Early applications of embedded devices include the guidance computer of the Minuteman I missiles and the Apollo guidance computer. The Minuteman I & II missiles are intercontinental ballistic nuclear warheads, produced by Boeing in the 1960's. Due to the large quantities of ICs used in the guidance system of Minuteman II missiles, prices for ICs fell from 1000$ each to 3$ each. This lead to wide adoption of embedded systems in consumerelectronics in the 1980's.
Nowadays embedded systems can be found in devices from digital watches to traffic-control systems. The broad range of applications with totally different requirements lead to various implementation approaches. The range of hardware used in embedded systems reaches from FPGAs to full blown desktop CPUs which are accompanied by specialpurpose ICs such as DSPs. On the software side, depending on the needs, everything, from logic fully implemented in hardware, to systems with own operating system and different applications running on it, can be found.
Metrics for Embedded Sys- 3 Hardware Platforms tems Based on the metrics, introduced in the above sec-
tion, processors for embedded systems can be disIn order to be able to compare different designs and tinguished by the grade of customization they grant approaches, there need to be pre-defined, system and the performance they achieve. independent, metrics. These can either be technical specifications or economical criteria.
Standard General Purpose Processors
Technical Metrics
Technical metrics are mainly used to compare technical designs and specifications of embedded devices or to determine if technical requirements have been fulfilled. Performance describes the execution time or throughput of the system. Energy Efficiency is an indicator for the amount of power consumed by the device. Size as a metric is used if there are constraints for physical size (eg: pacemaker) Flexibility is a metric for ease of reconfiguration and reusability.
Standard general purpose processors (SGPP) are carefully designed and offer a maximum of flexibility to the designer. Programming SGPPs can be done in nearly every high-level language or assembly language and requires very little knowledge of the system architecture. As SGPPs are manufactured to high numbers, NRE is spread upon many units. Nevertheless SGPPs are more expensive then other solutions like FPGAs or single purpose processors, when used in products with a large number of selling units. As they are produced to work in a broad range of environments they are not designed to be energy efficient nor high-performance for specific applications. Examples for standard general purpose processors are: • Motorola ARM
Economical Metrics
• Atmel AVR • Microchip PIC • Intel Pentium-(I/II/III/IV)-Series • AMD Athlon (or other) • VIA...

Ensor loved Ostend: the city served as his muse and inexhaustible source of inspiration.

Venetian Galleries
In 1900, Belgian King Leopold II commissioned architect Henri Maquet to design the first royal gallery: an L-shaped, closed and covered walkway between the royal villa and a large octagonal salon. Nowadays it is known by the name 'Venetian Galleries', referring to Venice's classicist architecture. When the Belgian royal family decided they would no longer use their coastal residence, Ostend was given the concession of the entire complex and resolved that the building be used for cultural...Read more

Will Apple's Popularity Rub Off on Biometrics?
Biometric security options have been around for years, but they never really seemed to catch on in the consumer market.
Most everyone continues to lament the cumbersome nature of maintaining multiple passwords that are of sufficient length and complexity to thwart the most common methodologies used to attempt crack them.
Either that, or they still use ridiculously simple ones like the ones we see in year after year in analysis of breached password database dumps.
Now that Apple has introduced a fingerprint scanner for the new iPhone 5S, will consumers finally start looking to biometric options for security, and as an alternative to the password?
"No biometric form factor is more well-known and widely deployed than the fingerprint scanner. Apple is by no means the first computer company to put a fingerprint reader on a device," writes Threatpost's Brian Donohue.
"Laptop makers dabbled with the idea here and there throughout the 2000s. The practice never really caught on, but the popularity of the iPhone promises to bring the fingerprint reader to the public like never before…"
We shall see.

The 2011 television show, "Tony Robinson Explores Australia", featured the sleepy coastal city of Townsville in Queensland. For one brief moment, Tony Robinson alluded to the fact that the now quiet streets were at one time alive with workers and shoppers.
Had Tony Robinson arrived in Townsville in 1998 during the Federal Election, he may have found "the strange case of the Speakers' Stone". Townsville Council had erected a speakers platform and named it "Speakers' Stone". They placed it near the Flinders Street Mall, in honour of a long forgotten "tree of knowledge" that once grew in the vicinity.
Townsville Council's "City Safe Committee" allowed speeches there, if the speaker held a permit. Patrick Coleman, a James Cook university law student and former soldier, took to the platform during the national debate that year for a referendum on a Bill of Rights. The debate was ignited by the former Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser (1930-2015).
Mr. Coleman spoke over a 22 week period during the election. He was charged with unlawful public address at the mall's Speakers' Stone because he spoke without a council permit. He was fined $300 or ten days in goal and ordered to pay $3,035 costs or 101 days in gaol.
Mr Coleman challenged the conviction and took his case to the Queensland Supreme Court and later to the Queensland Court of Appeal. However, those courts upheld his conviction and denied him leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia. Mr. Coleman was imprisoned for five days for non-payment of the fine.
In 2006, the UN Human Rights Committee concluded that Queensland law and a Townsville by-law impermissibly restricted Coleman's right to freedom of expression, placing Australia in breach of its obligations under the UN Human Rights Conventions.
Mr. Coleman believes that a serious discussion for a Bill of Rights should happen in Australia.
It would be interesting to know: (1) What ever happened to a Bill of Rights for Australia? (2) Is the "Speakers' Stone" still standing and still being used in Townsville?

One of the most enviable sports personalities of our times must be the Cleveland Cavaliers Lebron James. As the captain of the team and the face of the franchise, the small forward (who is versatile enough to fill the position of a point guard) has one of the strongest and most athletic bodies on the court.
Some of his contemporaries have said that he is built like a freight train. The Boston Celtics General Manager Danny Ainge called him a "force physically", saying he is "powerful". But Lebron is not alone in being a muscular and lean athlete in the sporting world. Think of
- Serena Williams
- Michael Phelps
- Louis Thompson
However, ask any sports enthusiast or professional athlete and they will tell you getting into form is the "easy" part, staying in form is a much harder endeavor. Keeping your body ripped, your abs strong and muscles strong usually translated to a considerable amount of time spent in the gym.
Now say you are talking to one of these sports icons and they tell you a dead guy spoke to them and gave them the secrets to a lean and muscular physique, would you believe them? Probably not! Well, it is true. A dead man reached right out of the grave and gave these secrets away to anyone who will listen. The result of listening to him is a chiseled body with minimal fat.
The dead guy who spoke
Eugene Sandow – The father of bodybuilding
Nee Friedrich Wilhelm Muller in 1867, Sandow was born in Russia to a Russian mother and a German father. He left Russia and became a circus athlete before embarking on a bodybuilding career with the Grecian ideal in mind further down the line in his life.
He built an enviable body earning himself the moniker – the father of modern-day bodybuilding. By the time of Sandow's death in 1925, steroids had not yet been invented. His physique is all as a result of his effort and diet.
Steroids and building muscle
In an age where steroids and performance enhancement drugs have become the norm and almost synonymous with sports, it is hard to tell who is 100% training and diet and who has taken a steroid or two.
Unfortunately, many of today's heroes have stretched the truth about how they attained their awesome physiques and muscles: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Mark Mcguire among others.
Actors and musicians have also joined the bandwagon showing off steroid induced massive arms and toned bodies in their music videos and action movies. Maybe even the trainers at your local gym or that lady you meet every day at the jogging track have popped a human growth hormone pill! You may be the only person not using steroids to attain your ultimate body, right?
Listen to Matt Marshall
Matt is just like you and me; a regular guy who wants a firm muscular and lean body. He has been on the verge of giving up after trying one failed attempt at building muscle after another. He tried
- Diets
- Expert advice
- Bodybuilding programs
Strict diets didn't expel those few remaining pounds of fat from around his belly. Expert advice fell flat because the "experts" were taking steroids yet creating programs and dispensing advice on training and diet.
Highly discouraged, he happened to stumble upon a photo of Eugene Sandow. Sandow's proportionately ripped and muscular physique appealed to Matt and the fact that he looked like this in the early 1900s was of further interest to him. This was what he wanted his body to look like.
Other chiseled bodybuilders of his time who built incredible bodies out of hard work in training and diet include Stanislaus Zbyszko. Zbyszko's physique was equally ripped and muscular. Clearly, this generation of strongmen understood the heart of training the body.
The discovery
Looking at the workout strategies of Sandow and his contemporaries, Matt Marshall discovered a few well-kept secrets that have been lying low for many decades. In fact, he found that almost all the information he had ever heard about burning fat and muscle building was completely wrong and misleading!
Food myth: In order to build muscle you must adhere to six small meals of brown rice and skinless chicken.
Workout myth: For a rock-solid core and abs you must do cardio and crunches.
After taking up the old school bodybuilding practices of the old timers
- He added muscle
- He got a six pack
- He spent less time and effort in the gym
- He completely avoided sit ups, crunches and cardio

This progress saw more people notice his body transformation and leaner physique. Soon the questions began to come, curiosity was piqued and as a result, he decided to write a book:
How to Build a Classic Physique
For a one time price of $37, you will build your ideal body
This book consists of several headers that will catch your attention and change the way you view training and diet. For example
- Eating two bites of pineapple after your workout can triple the amount of protein your body uses to build muscle
- Sleeping with your windows open just a little can help in fat burning
- A plumbing tool, available in hardware stores, can help you build your arms
- How drinking alcohol can speed up fat loss
- Instructions of what to eat and a work out plan that requires no equipment but that will give you that classic physique
- Food that actually increases your testosterone levels resulting in muscle building and a leaner you
- A way to gain 3.5 pounds of lean mass and get rid of 10 pounds of fat within the first week
All of the above may seem unlikely for many people. This is especially because we have been told time and time again that to lose weight we have to
- Work ourselves to exhaustion
- Eat tasteless food
- Refrain from enjoying a drink
- Use the latest and most expensive state of the art equipment.

The Cost of a Lean and Muscular physique
Let us start by being honest: Gym fees are expensive. Now compound that by lack of results despite tremendous effort over an extended period and this has cost you

The cost for that is astronomical!
To be quite honest even hiring Matt Marshall to be your personal coach will set you back $497. That is if you quality after applying for consideration. However, for only $37, down from the regular prize of $47, you can buy this program to use for a lifetime.

Just came back from a short 2 days 1 night trip to Seremban and Port Dickson.
It was not a well-planned trip, it was more of a spontaneous and go-with-the-flow kind of trip.
So on Wednesday Yee Tong and I took the KTM to Seremban.
It only cost RM5.40 to travel from KL to Seremban.
Siew Yoke picked us up from the Seremban station and off we go, starting our first day in Seremban!
She had buy 1 free 1 student vouchers for Greenbox so we went sing k!
Initially we only had 3 hours to sing but since it was on a weekday and there weren't many customers, so they extended our hours to 4 hours and even after 4 hours, they didn't ask us to leave so we sang for 5 and a half hours.
Towards the end it was more like a Gem Tang concert.
We just chose all of Gem Tang's songs and we just sat like loyal supporters in a concert hall. LOL.
Not the best quality of picture but definitely the best quality of time spent with them :D
After the sing k session, Jacky went to Tesco to help his mum out for groceries shopping and the three of us walked around AEON and had Sushi King Bonanza!!
Finally sushi!
The salmons there are so yummy!!
Anyway, after that we went over to Siew Yoke's house for a visit!!
We went to Port Dickson where she stays and the place she stayed was something like a "kampung" house.
I AM REALLY REALLY REALLY INTO KAMPUNG HOUSES where there are no gates, no RELA guards or whatsoever.
& we got to meet her sisters, mum, brother-in-law, niece, nephew and some other relatives.
Really envy how "meriah" it is in her house.
Though it might be troublesome and noisy at times living together with so many people, but seriously, it is the best!!
The house can never be quiet and one can never be lonely when there is so many people around.
I can't push her away and she is way too "guai" to not hold her!!
She doesn't even cry when she is being held by a stranger.
This small boy's name is Jackson?
But everyone in the house calls him Ah Bi.
Super "guai" ahhhhhh and funny as well.
Very cute!
Good in acting as well!
This girl don't know how to carry a baby.
The baby girl kept sliding down. Super funny!
After a while, we had to leave and so we said goodbye to Ah Bi.
& he started crying.
Omgosh, he is a person that will get attached to people super easily.
We were only there for like less than an hour?
& he cried when we were about to leave.
Anyway, we left her house and went to PD Waterfront!
Seriously bad photo quality.
The one thing I regretted about the trip was to not bring my camera.
Having a McD ice-cream beside the sea! WEE~
After walking along the beach at night and taking countless pictures, we finally left PD Waterfront at 12am and head to Siew Yoke's sister's house.
First impression about the house was, omgosh, it was super duper freakingishly huge!
Everything was so nice and comfortable.
Seriously felt really thankful to her sister for letting us
We basically had the whole house to ourselves, like the three queens. HAHAHAHA!
So we bathed and get ready for some talk time.
But we were too tired and slept early, around 2AM.
We were SUPPOSED to get up early and watch the sun rise at the beach but HEH, everyone just wanted to sleep.
I got up at 10AM, bathed and get ready and woke the other two up.
Left for lunch at 12-ish.
Must be because of the claypot!
But quite worth it I guess.
After lunch, it was really a go-with-the-flow kind of day.
Siew Yoke brought us to the beach again but this time to another beach.
& we got to see turtles!!
It was super duper sunny in PD!
But that ain't stopping us from having fun at the beach!!
I dumbly forgot to bring slippers so I had to walk around the oh-so-cantik beach sand with this sneakers :(
Couldn't touch the sand with my bare feet.
But I did grab some sand and threw it in the air. WOOHOO~
See this.
Silly girl climbing the rocks to take a picture.
HAHA. Okay, that's a wrap in PD!
Off we go to Seremban to buy some food and of course SEREMBAN SIEW PAO to bring back to KL!
You know, from the highway when you pass by Seremban, you always see a huge shop where they promote Seremban Siew Pao?
I always see it along the highway but can't figure out how to get there and today I actually went there!
some a lot of food!!
All in all, great trip, great people, great food!
Sorry I didn't jio some of you.
We'll go again another time ya! :)

On the original Basement Tapes, Bob Dylan and the Band reinvented themselves via repurposed Americana. With a sheaf of unused lyrics from those sessions — sly, delightful, if not revelatory — this supergroup sparks brightest when it does the same. Elvis Costello and Jim James deliver; they're known-quantity changelings. More surprising is Marcus Mumford's conked soul ("When I Get My Hands on You") and the showstopper, Carolina Chocolate Drops' Rhiannon Giddens, evoking antebellum blues with a magnificent voice that interrogates the myths stirred up at Big Pink. T Bone Burnett's production violates the Tapes' low-fi legacy but adds color and abstractions. When Giddens and Co. punch through the headphones on "Duncan and Jimmy" amid electric-guitar clouds, extended tradition trumps mimicry.

[Food] Indulge in the New Haagen-Dazs Banana Chocolate Brownie
But it's okay.. I have ice-cream to comfort myself while I watch all the old F&F movies again.
Eh it's definitely better than those flower pot ice-cream..
Previously I was in love with the Caramel Biscuits & Cream (CBC) but now they have this new flavour - Banana Chocolate Brownie ermahgadd
Sorry CBC but I love BCB now xD
Banana ice-cream made from 100% real cream and milk from France, and bananas from Costa Rica and Panama. These are atas (high class) imported bananas, not those growing in your back yard.
What do bananas taste good with? Chocolate! Lots and lots of it. My favourite is the brownie though. I've always had a thing for brownies in ice-cream and they do put a lot of them in a pint.
Mmm~~ Every spoonful was absolutely delectable. I even drank the melted remainder like a banana chocolate slushie.
Guess you know what I'm gonna do with these Haagen-Dazs vouchers I won WAHAHHAA

Whether we are hosting a much needed dinner party with our closest ladies, or establishing our creative community at a networking event, we want to take full advantage of this time! It would be easy to stick to small talk, the latest gossip and newest trends during our time together, but time is short(!) and we would be wise to use our conversations to develop deeper and more genuine relationships, helping each other grow, and spurring one another on toward our dreams.
It's easy to forget, to get distracted, to develop bad habits. And when we do, our relationships suffer, and we lack true connection. So let's go back to the basics. Take these five suggestions and resolve to keep them in the back of your mind. Then pull back them back out during your next get-together so you can continue cultivating a community that really supports one another.
Don't make assumptions.
Go into every conversation reminding yourself that the person with whom you are speaking is a human being with a story. She holds the beliefs and values she does for valid reasons… ones you will not have the privilege of knowing unless you are able to open your mind and listen closely. Even the people we think we know best can surprise us. So hear people out. Don't assume they will think, feel, or react a certain way. Use your conversations as learning experiences by putting yourself in others' shoes. Everyone you speak to has lived a different story and has gained wisdom through her encounters with life that we could all benefit from.
Even the people we think we know best can surprise us. So hear people out. Don't assume they will think, feel, or react a certain way. Use your conversations as learning experiences by putting yourself in others' shoes.
Put your phone down.
Yea, yea, yea, we hear this one a lot…Put your phone down and be where you are. But for a lot of us (I'll be the first to raise my guilty hand), this is a bad habit we have a difficult time shaking. We have to be constantly checking our social media and text messages for fear of missing out on something. But in the meantime, we are certainly missing out on the individuals right in front of us!
If you have to take a pic (I get it), snap a few then post later (everyone knows "latergrams" happen more often than "Instagrams" anyway, and that's ten minutes of editing filters and choosing captions that can be spent really being present with your tribe).
If you work for a business or organization that needs you to be constantly active on social media, using tools like Hootsuite or scheduling posts on Facebook can help your brand still be "present" on the Internet without you really being there. Find some tricks that will help you to stay consistently in front of your audience on social media, without being distracted while with your evening's company.
Make eye contact.
We know we're supposed to make eye contact with the person we're talking to, but let's admit it: we're not that great at actually doing it most of the time. Have you ever been on the receiving end of a conversation where someone doesn't make eye contact with you? Conversely, have you ever spoken with someone who really looks at you, undistracted by all of the things going on around you? You probably notice a huge difference in how comfortable you feel talking with them and how eager you might be to continue building a relationship. Something as simple as good eye contact can communicate to someone that she matters, that she has your full attention, and that you care about what she is saying.
Listen actively.
- Repeat back what was said to you in your own words: "so what I hear you saying is…" is usually the most common form of this, but put your own spin on it! This lets them know you are tracking the convo. It also can help your brain remember the conversation so you are able to recall it later and follow up.
- While she's talking, really pay attention to what she's saying instead of preparing your response. If you're planning what to say once she's finished talking, your attention is not really on her and you're not truly engaged. Just hear her.
- Even if you really are listening, people need to know you are. Be sure to communicate to that you are listening by using body language. Make eye contact, nod your head, and reassure who you are listening to that you're really present with vocal cues. Again, this seems like a no brainer, but I'm sure you have been on the receiving end of someone whose body language is clearly communicating to you that she's not all that interested in what you're saying!
Something as simple as good eye contact can communicate to someone that she matters, that she has your full attention, and that you care about what she is saying.
Ask good questions.
It's easy to stick with the standard: "What do you do? Where do you live? Got any summer plans?" But, without being too intrusive, try to dig deeper.
In more intimate settings with the ladies you know well, ask about dreams or goals for this year, or about things she's done in life that she's proud of or what she regrets. Ask about her current fears or about the relationships in her life and the struggles she faces with them.
In less intimate settings, when you're interacting with people you don't know as well or networking with, get creative with your questions: what would you do if you won the lottery tomorrow? What is the first thing you would do if you were elected president? What's your idea of a perfect day? You can learn a lot of fun things about each other by going beyond the typical questions and asking ones outside the norm.
If we really want to build a healthy and supportive tribe, we have to start with the basics. We can have all the dinner parties and get-togethers we want, but what actually happens at those gatherings is what is so vital to cultivating quality relationships. So next time you find yourself in a conversation with someone, pay attention to the way you are listening and how distracted you are. Ask yourself honestly if you are making assumptions about someone or if you are keeping an open mind. Pay attention to whether you are asking more questions or giving more answers. If we can keep establishing these habits, not only will people feel much more cared for, but we will be stronger together.

Wesley College - the Methodist Theological College at the top of Henbury Road in Westbury on Trym - is likely to be turned into a new housing development, according to a former student.
The campus ceased operating last year and is now no longer offering courses. The accommodation blocks on campus, however, remain occupied by a mixed group of former students who have entered into arrangements with the college authorities to remain on site while the future of the campus is resolved. The majority of the current occupants are, apparently, from South Korea. Wesley College was not only the longest-standing Methodist training college in Britain, it also attracted students for is undergraduate and postgraduate courses from around the world.
Speculation is that the site may be sold to a property developer and permission sought to convert the current main building into private apartments, with additional properties built on the grounds.

It's arbitrary and unfair. You can grimace, you can sweat. You can leap and duckwalk, and you know that if someone would just give you a chance, you could light a Fender Stratocaster on fire and smash it into a wall of 10,000-watt amps. In short, you know you've got everything it takes to be a great rock guitarist, except for one thing. You haven't got the faintest idea how to play guitar. Not only that, you don't even own a guitar.
If that's your problem, relax.
The latest fringe musical fad, air guitar—in which aficionados mime guitar-hero antics to the accompaniment of a favorite LP—allows any nebbish to play like Springsteen, Clapton or Hendrix, blindfolded. A grass-roots art once confined to adolescent bedrooms, air guitaring has lately become the subject of local contests and a new manual, The Complete Air Guitar Handbook (Pocket Books, $2.95) by Mike Moffitt, 35, a Tampa photographer, and John McKenna, 30, a Minneapolis movie marketer who has seen Bruce Springsteen in concert 63 times.
In addition to citing Great Moments in Air Guitar History (Neil Young in The Last Waltz; Joe Cocker, anytime) the guide explains how to tune an air guitar ("with an air piano") and lists equipment (air amps, mirrors) and acceptable guitar substitutes (tennis rackets, yes; chain saws, no). Alas, lack of musical knowledge alone is no guarantee of success; air guitarists, the authors note, need not even have "the brains of a begonia" to succeed.
Flush with the modest success of the Handbook, Moffitt and McKenna are already at work on a second manual, in which they will show readers how to improve their social skills by practicing with pneumatic dolls. Their tentative title: I'm OK, You're Inflatable.
