My first real job, nearly 30 years ago, was as an architectural critic. It sounds grand and in some ways it was. I worked at the creaking but lovable Architectural Review (which, IMHO, was a far better looking magazine then than now). The offices of the then-family-owned Architectural Press were in the eccentric, wonderful 9 Queen Anne's Gate. In its old-fashioned way, there were some rather archaic traditions at the AP. One that has stuck with me, however, was the belief that you shouldn't review a building before you could see it in use.
Buildings, after all, aren't just artworks. To be successful they have to work well. I would have thought that was obvious. But it seems as though the exalted Paul Goldberger in The New Yorker has lower standards. I was reading with interest his review of the new Museum of Contemporary Art in New York's Bowery. And then I came upon this: "Once the museum opens, next month, the effect may be more welcoming: the ground floor is sheathed entirely in glass, and a gallery and bookstore will be visible from the street. At the moment, the museum is enticing from afar but off-putting up close."
Not good enough. What I don't understand is the rush into print. The New Yorker isn't about scoops in its art coverage (which was a fact of life for architecture magazines in my day, and I suspect still is – everyone wanted to be the first to review the latest Jim Stirling or Stormin' Norman Foster). Big black mark against Goldberger in my book.
Of course, architecture critics aren't the only guilty parties. Here's a review someone pointed me to yesterday, about the new Amazon.com Kindle. I'll start my quote from the second paragraph, to prepare you for the third paragraph punchline:
I won't rehash the basic features of Kindle, but I will try to compare it with the Sony Reader–now in its second generation and Kindle's primary competition. I will also talk about what I see as the strong and weak points of the Kindle design.
Disclaimer: This is all based on what I've seen and read. I haven't seen a Kindle in person. Yet.
I know the pressure on gadget reviewers is undoubtedly far more severe than that on the relatively esoteric world of architecture critics. But I have to say that reviewing an unopened building is a venial sin compared to reviewing a product you haven't seen in person.

Anya from Buffy said it best about Thanksgiving: "To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice. With pie." Hope your ritual sacrifice was tasty!
My Thanksgiving '09 was… anti-climactic. Mom had spent the beginning of the week down with my brother and family, since my nephew's baby sitter was unavailable. They drove back up together Thursday morning, arriving around noonish.
I spent the morning feeling very sick to my stomach… which is, sadly, nothing new. Though I am a lot better than I was before I had my gallbladder removed, I still get these awful periods of sickness.
We went to dinner at Cracker Barrel about 2 p.m., pulling up to the restaurant right behind an ambulance. That's never a good sign. Neither is having to step around the EMTs and the poor gentleman lying in the floor of the gift shop after suffering a seizure. That sounds horrible, I know, but they were trying to get us all out of the doorway so they could take him out.
The dinner was just 'meh' this year. I usually enjoy Cracker Barrel's Thanksgiving dinner, but this year, not so much. Probably because I was tired, stressed and feeling sick.
Brother and sis-in-law left shortly after we returned home, leaving nephew behind to spend the weekend. I foresee locking myself in my room or the computer room a lot this weekend. I dearly love my nephew, but I can only take toddlers in small doses.
After Ben went to bed, I bullied my parents into watching Star Trek, because I really loved that movie. Unfortunately, we only got a half hour into it before my friends from Knoxville called and I spent an hour with them on the phone. Not that I minded, but I don't know if I can get my parents to finish watching it now. I think I ought to give up trying to get them to watch stuff that I really like and is important to me.
Because it's all about me, world! You hear that? All about me!
…or not.
I also started reading Twilight. I'm very proud of myself. Five chapters in and I've already resisted throwing the book across the room at least twice. I'm still trying to understand the appeal.

Yes, yes, and yes....I don't want rose colored glasses. I just want people to respect me for the unique person that I am...and for the contribution that I can make. I seem to muster up regard even for those that I consider annoying, over-zealous, boring, hyper, belligerent, self serving, and ignorant. I see them as somehow necessary for the greater whole...which is beyond my meager little opinions of people. But my occasional lapses of memory, misplacing my keys, or getting lost on a street I take every day...are seen as major defects...an abomination before God...or something I need to be medicated for.
But the world is not going to change...so, I try not to care.

The legacy of Mark Warburton and David Weir at Rangers is the subject of much debate. In bringing Josh Windass to the club from Accrington Stanley for a mere £50,000 in July 2016, Weir would argue they added an asset to the club who could one day be on the radar of English Premier League clubs.
This turbulent season for Rangers is not the fault of Windass. The 24-year-old may drift in and out of games and sometimes struggle for consistency but his contribution has been overwhelmingly positive with 17 goals.
Weir believes Windass is best deployed as a second striker where his "game-changing pace" can be utilised close to the opposition goal.
"We knew it would take time to adapt to life in Glasgow but we also knew he had all the capabilities, attributes and what was needed physically to be a top, top player," said Weir. "He has shown that as has James Tavernier and Wes Foderingham. They are all good players who are getting better and better and given time, which you are not always given at Rangers, can develop into top-class Rangers players.
"He is not the finished article and would be the first to admit that but he has great pace and he has added goals. There are areas he can work on and get better with but all these things come with playing .
"In modern day football you need to be able to play a few positions and to adjust to the circumstances of the game. Josh is learning the technical and tactical aspects."
Windass has an awkward relationship with the Ibrox support due to the inconsistency of his performances.
"Consistency is part of the learning at Rangers," Weir added.
"It is a tough fight because you have to perform every week and you have to win every week. To do that you have to be at the top of your game and that's difficult for a young lad."
Ultimately, Weir believes Windass could cut it in the English top flight. "He has the attributes," he said. "Physically he is more than capable of doing it and technically he is very good.
"It is about putting all the pieces together consistently but he definitely has all the attributes, as do Wes Foderingham and James Tavernier. There are people within the squad who can go and do that."

Hi stampers! It's time for a new challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments! It's a sketch this week! I love sketches! It's usually the hardest part for me when designing a card!
And I have to say that after a full birthday weekend of celebrating and also a lot of doing nothing at all I wasn't really excited to sit down and HAVE to stamp something for this challenge (sometimes I work ahead...sometimes I just wing it, lol) late Sunday night. I don't think I got started until after 8 which is rare for me. Most of the time when I stamp it's earlier in the day or evening and I'm winding down by 8 or 9. So, I was super surprised when this card came together really quick AND I kind of loved it:-) Must be the fact that it's a GREAT sketch!
Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Patterned occasions (SAB)
Paper: Whisper white, rich razzleberry, lucky limeade, calypso coral, sycamore street DSP (SAB)
Ink: Rich razzleberry, lucky limeade, calypso coral
Accessories: Window frames collection framelits, paper peircing pack, calypso coral ribbon & button pack (SAB), whisper white baker's twine, lattice border punch, basic rhinestones
I have to say I was going to use a circle for my elephant only to find that she wouldn't fit in the punch I wanted to use! Whoops! So onto plan B...which worked out and I like how I put the pearls in the corner! So yay for plan B! :-) And that is calypso coral. I had to take the picture at night so the colors are a bit off. In the picture I think it looks more tangerine...but it's not. Oh and I did totally screw up and use elegant eggplant for the flower and sentiment instead of razzleberry but just pretend it's razzleberry, ok? And please don't tell me I'm the only one who does that!!! I thought it looked funny for a few minutes and then it dawned on me what I did...but I didn't feel like doing it over...close enough, right? LOL!
Ok, make sure to check out all the other design team samples and don't forget to play along!
Happy stamping!

I'm so sorry for the disappearing act this past week or so. Time has just got away from me every single day and last week I was super busy trying to tackle the multi-pile shoe mountain that has developed over the past few months in my bedroom! It's no small task, but I'm desperate for both space and money; so the time came to sell as much as I could.
all ending tomorrow (Sunday). You could snap up some brand new Irregular Choice shoes including the gorgeous So-Yeon Sarah platforms, the red glitter shoes that still remain one of the most 'googled' pairs from The Shoe Girl Diaries, some pretty rare 'chess' heeled Michael Lewis slingbacks, PPQ for Office striped bow platforms, Miu Miu inspired daisy boots, gorgeous green wedges by Terry de Havilland and even my Jeffrey Campbell Night Walk! Yes I so struggled to part with many of those!

Learning how to meditate can be overwhelming. When you know the basics it seems easy enough – sit down, breathe and think about nothing. Simple enough right? Wrong! Even though the basics sound easy, they're often difficult for a beginner to learn how to implement. Resulting in frustration, a feeling they're doing it wrong and perhaps leading them to quit all together. This is where guided meditations for beginners can help.
If you're like most beginners you might have a ton of questions. Like where to start? How long should you meditate for? What should you do while meditating? What should you think about? What's the right way to sit and breathe? And of course the "Why does being peaceful feel so darn uncomfortable?" question.
If you have questions, don't worry you are not alone, this is a normal part of the process.
Is There A Right Way Or Wrong Way To Meditate?
Many people just starting out feel uncomfortable or awkward. Manage your expectations of meditating properly. Don't expect to be perfect or think that there's a right way or wrong way to meditate.
Ultimately, the goal of the practice is to let go and just be.
Meditation isn't about "doing" or "achieving", it's about "being" and "observing." It's the here and now. Helping you to return to a natural way of being present and enjoying life's simple moments.
How Do You Start Meditation For Beginners?
Many meditators find it much easier to get started by way of using a guided meditation. Finding that it helps takes the stress out of where to begin with easy to follow steps.
By walking you through the process, step by step, it eases the path by giving the beginner mind something to hook in to. Able to let go of the "monkey mind" chatter, and sinking into a state of deep relaxation and inner peace.
Besides being easy to follow, guided meditations are easy to find. You can find them in a wide range of formats including videos, audios, apps and even meditation classes as well as paid and free options. Some have specific purposes, like better sleep, chakra balancing, body scan, manifesting, build compassion, and stress relief.
Another plus? With the wide range and availability of different types you can easily experiment until you find the one that work best for you.
Getting Started In Your Practice
Set An Intention
Beginning your new meditation practice is simple – just be willing to be on the path and experience something new. Before starting it can be helpful to set the tone for your new desire by setting an intention.
Create one that works for you or use something like: "I intend that I have more peace and presence in my life. I am willing to open to a meditation practice and I welcome this new path into my life."
"I intend that I have more peace and presence in my life. I am willing to open to a meditation practice and I welcome this new path into my life."
Create A Meditation Space
This is not a must, but a nice to have. Even if you're just getting started consider creating a special space free of noise and distractions for your new practice.
You can make it as cozy or as minimalist as you want to. Gather items that inspire and calm you. Such as candles, crystals, mala beads, a himalayan salt lamp, small fountain, essential oils and of course plants.
Using a meditation cushion set is also ideal to help beginner meditators sit in comfort, and you can set them up anywhere. Even if space is tight.
Read how to choose a good one here: The 7 Best (and ultra comfortable) meditation cushion sets.

"If you've already bought any version before this and really need your fix, then Galaxies is for you. On the other hand, the extras don't quite justify the full price tag unless you're already an established fan, so it's kind of a catch 22 of sorts. It's not visually too impressive, but that's hardly the point either. The value of the game is really dependent on your passion and commitment."

Kaapo testing his new camera, originally uploaded by Jonne Naarala.
Olympus T-100. He had our old Canon Ixus 400 before this one but its battery is not in a good condition anymore.
It is so nice to see how keen he is on photography. And he shoots very nice photos and is able to use camera's features by himself.
I think Tiitus is soon going to be as good as Kaapo because he got the old Ixus from Kaapo.

The gifted and internationally successful author Austin Clarke's first work of poetry, Where the Sun Shines Best (Guernica 2013), has been reviewed by Quill and Quire!
Austin Clarke has published ten novels, six short story collections, and three memoirs in the United States, England, Canada, Australia, and Holland. Storm of Fortune, the second novel in his Toronto Trilogy about the lives of Barbadian immigrants, was shortlisted for the Governor General's Award in 1973. The Origin of Waves won the Rogers Communications Writers' Development Trust Prize for Fiction in 1997. In 1999, his ninth novel, The Question, was shortlisted for the Governor General's Award. In 2003 he had a private audience with Queen Elisabeth in honour of his Commonwealth Prize for his tenth novel, The Polished Hoe. In 1998 he was invested with the Order of Canada, and he has received four honorary doctorates.
Where the Sun Shines Best (Guernica 2013) encompasses a tragedy of epic scope, a lyrical meditation on poverty, racism and war, and a powerful indictment of the ravages of imperialism. Three Canadian soldiers awaiting deployment to Afghanistan beat a homeless man to death on the steps of their armoury after a night of heavy drinking. The poet, whose downtown Toronto home overlooks the armoury and surrounding park, describes the crime, its perpetrators, the victim, and a cast of homeless witnesses that includes the woman, a prostitute, who first alerts police. The subsequent trial evokes reflection on the immigrant experience the poet shares with one of the accused, and on the agony of that young soldier's mother.
Where the Sun Shines Best is a meditation on the terror that prevails when a city forgets the humanity of its forsaken denizens… Clarke's intimate take on long-form narrative poetry gently eases readers into the emotionally fraught subject of a grievous homicide, which occurred in the author's own downtown Toronto neighbourhood of Moss Park.
Where the Sun Shines Best succeeds as a testimony of a shared experience, sensitively binding a single moment of brutality to a global history of oppression.

Congratulations to Austin on this latest review, and don't forget you can buy a copy of Where the Sun Shines Best on Guernica's new website.

1872 Mitchell Map of Iowa and MissouriIOMS-m-1874
1872 Mitchell Map of Iowa and MissouriIOMS-m-1874
1872 (dated) 15 x 12.5 in (38.1 x 31.75 cm)
Missouri played a pivotal role in the events leading up to the Civil War. The Missouri Compromise, which allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state, stipulated that all future states north of Missouri's southern would not hold slaves. Though the Compromise briefly alleviated north-south tensions, it would only last until the 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska Act nullified the Missouri Compromise, setting the stage for the Civil War.
This map also identifies various cities, towns, rivers and an assortment of additional topographical details. Map is color coded according to political boundaries with elevation rendered by hachure. One of the most attractive American atlas maps of this region to appear in the mid-19th century. Features the vine motif border typical of Mitchell maps from the 1866 - 1882 period. Prepared by S.A. Mitchell for inclusion as plate nos. 41 in the 1872 issue of Mitchell's New General Atlas. Dated and copyrighted, 'entered according to Act of Congress in the Year 1872 by S. Augustus Mitchell in the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.'
Samuel Augustus Mitchell (March 20, 1792 - December 20, 1868) began his map publishing career in the early 1830s. Having worked as a school teacher, Mitchell was frustrated with the low quality and inaccuracy of school texts of the period. His first maps were an attempt to rectify this problem. In the next 20 years Mitchell would become the most prominent American map publisher of the mid-19th century. Mitchell worked with prominent engravers J. H. Young, H. S. Tanner, and H. N. Burroughs before attaining the full copyright on his maps in 1847. In 1849 Mitchell either partnered with or sold his plates to Thomas, Cowperthwait and Company who continued to publish the Mitchell's Universal Atlas. By about 1856 most of the Mitchell plates and copyrights were acquired by Charles Desilver who continued to publish the maps, many with modified borders and color schemes, until Mitchell's son, Samuel Augustus Mitchell Junior, entered the picture. In 1859, S.A. Mitchell Jr. purchased most of the plates back from Desilver and introduced his own floral motif border. From 1860 on, he published his own editions of the New General Atlas. The younger Mitchell became as prominent as his father, publishing maps and atlases until 1887, when most of the copyrights were again sold and the Mitchell firm closed its doors for the final time.

Rustic craftsmanship from start to finish
Much has happened in Sweden's restaurant world since Pelle opened in the early 1990s. But while restaurant trends come and go, Pelle stands firmly in the kitchen and continues to lovingly transform high-quality local produce into tasty and stylishly plated Swedish comfort food. Whether you choose the dining room or the simpler bar, you'll always find the place full. Even on a regular Wednesday there are diners of all ages – a young couple, a group of seniors, and a few celebratory groups of families or friends. The sparsely decorated dining room is pleasant and homey with its walls adorned with art for sale, hefty wooden tables, and candlelight. In recent years, Pelle has simplified his menu. There are few dishes to choose from and we recommend Pelle's incredibly affordable four-course menu. We receive an excellent Swedish squid and oyster mushrooms paired with an equally excellent wine: a Faubel chardonnay. The chartreuse-coloured and wonderfully invigorating Tuscan kale soup with apple and anise caresses the taste buds. Hearty and tender veal cheek with oyster mushrooms has a hint of lovage that contrasts nicely against the sweetness of a carrot purée. It's paired with a full-bodied and delightful Ripasso. The apple finale comes with the finest almond cream, enhanced by a sweet Monbazillac. "Like stuffing your nose in a jar of raisins", says one guest about the French dessert wine. We are satisfied after a long evening and hope for continued artful cooking here for another quarter century...

Worldwide the Olympics is a haven for sports. In 1988, a similar international multi-sport event for athletes with physical disabilities was officially conducted in Seoul as the Paralympics. The 2012 Olympics and Paralympics Games will be in London bringing together athletes and sports enthusiasts from all around the world for celebration. Each country when it gets the chance to host the Games assures to make it as festive, supportive, and spectacular for the sport world as they can. However, there is an irony in them accepting to do so with Dow Chemicals as one of their sponsors this year.
On the night of December 2nd, 1984, a Union Carbide plant [a subsidiary of Dow Chemicals] in Bhopal, India, began leaking 27 tons of the deadly gas methyl isocyanate. None of the six safety systems designed to contain such a leak were operational, allowing the gas to spread throughout the city of Bhopal. No one will ever know exactly how many thousands died that night. Carbide says 3,800. Municipal workers who picked up bodies with their own hands, loading them onto trucks for burial in mass graves or to be burned on mass pyres, reckon they shifted at least 15,000 bodies. Survivors, basing their estimates on the number of shrouds sold in the city, conservatively claim about 8000 died in the first week. Such body counts become meaningless when you know that the dying has never stopped. More than 120,000 people still suffer from ailments caused by the accident and the subsequent pollution at the plant site. The gas-affected people of Bhopal continue to succumb to injuries sustained during the disaster, dying at the rate of one each day (2010). Treatment protocols are hampered by the company's continuing refusal to share information it holds on the toxic effects of MIC. Both Union Carbide and its owner Dow Chemical claim the data is a 'trade secret,' frustrating the efforts of doctors to treat gas-affected victims. The site itself has never been cleaned up, and a new generation is being poisoned by the chemicals that Union Carbide left behind.
In 1961, as part of America's escalating war of counter-insurgency in Vietnam, President Kennedy approved military plans to use toxic herbicides in Vietnam. Planes and helicopters from the U.S. military, under the code name "Operation Ranch Hand," sprayed toxic chemicals throughout southern Vietnam. The spraying was intended to kill foliage to deny cover to the guerillas and to destroy crops that could be used to supply the insurgency. The spraying was also intended to make whole areas unlivable so that villagers would be driven into "pacified" areas and "strategic hamlets." The most commonly used spray was dubbed "Agent Orange" because it was shipped in barrels with an Orange stripe. The chemicals used during the Vietnam War were produced by Dow, Monsanto, Diamond Shamrock, Hercules, Uniroyal, Thomson Chemicals…. Between 1962 and 1971 the United States sprayed an estimated twenty million gallons of herbicide (of which thirteen million gallons were Agent Orange) over a tenth of the total land area of southern Vietnam. An estimated 50,000 deformed children have been born to parents who were directly sprayed or were exposed through the consumption of food and/or water. Exposure to Agent Orange/dioxin is also associated with disorders of the endocrine system (e.g., decreased sexual desire, gynecomastia), cardio-vascular system (e.g. increased blood pressure, blood deficiency), gastrointestinal system (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastric ulcer, constipation, yellowing of eyes, abdominal pain), metabolic system (e.g. fatigue, rapid weight loss, spontaneous fever, chills), neurological system (e.g. numbness, dizziness, headaches, tingling), respiratory system (e.g. shortness of breath), and skin disorders (such as rash, loss of hair, brittle nails, altered skin color).
– Vietnam Agent Orange Relief & Responsibility Campaign
Dow Chemicals has a bright history of corporate negligence in Bhopal where they haven't yet cleaned-up the site of the 1984 industrial disaster and in Vietnam, for not compensating the victims of Agent Orange. Dow and Carbide have refused to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of Indian courts on various matters relating to the disaster and other environmental fallouts. The latter has even been declared a fugitive from justice in Indian courts. After long persuasion, the dioxin affected Vietnam Veterans in South Korea have one lawsuit against Dow and Monsanto.
The head of the organising committee of the London Olympics, Lord Sebastian Coe, has said they will not expel Dow as a sponsor. Protesters have burned effigies of Coe, an Olympic legend with four medals (including two iconic 1500m golds), who has said: "Dow's links with Union Carbide came 17 years after the Bhopal gas leak and it could not be held responsible; nor was it the operator or owner when the final settlement was agreed in 1989. Dow became the major shareholders in that company only in 2001, and the final settlement was upheld on two separate occasions by the Indian Supreme Court. I feel comfortable after analysing the history of this case."
– Paul Lewis, Bhopal link mars Games
On 9th of January 2012, campaigners in London, Bhopal, Vietnam and Chennai demanded that the London 2012 Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) drop Dow Chemical as a sponsor. Campaigners have also challenged Sebastian Coe, Chairman of LOCOG, to come to Bhopal and drink the water if he is really confident that Dow Chemical are responsibly fulfilling their duty for the clean up.
Children of gas affected parents, and those of parents consuming contaminated water have severe and debilitating birth defects. The Olympic organisers could not have chosen a worse partner than Dow. The partnership goes against the spirit of the Olympic games, and violates its commitment to justice, peace and environmental sustainability.
– Message from Bhopal Survivors to the Olympian Community
We see the terrible irony Rajiv Ranjan highlighted at the gathering in Chennai in LOCOG and especially the Paralympics Association accepting Dow Chemicals, the cause for people becoming disabled all around the world, as a sponsor.
Read more at www.bhopal.net. Read and please endorse the petition addressed to the LOCOG Chairman, Sebastian Coe, a campaign started on Change.org by British nurse Lorraine Close.

"A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes!"
It's been a few days since Disney and things are starting to settle down so I thought this would be the perfect time to write about my runDisney experience. First off, the whole runDisney experience was amazing and it's something every Princess runner needs to experience. Best half marathon and 5K run I have ever done. There are a lot of Princes out there but most of them are not going to enjoy a Disney Princess run for the most part. I suggest all you Prince charming runners check out the Star Wars half and 5K in April. This was my first trip to Disney World and the one thing I learned, is Disney does it up big. Everything is magical and everything is spot on. Did I mention everywhere you look is clean? No trash anywhere. Being a technology guru by day, I was overwhelmed with the amount of technology that goes in to all of the productions that are put on there. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how they do it. I think it's super cool the way Disney takes things to a whole new level. Anyways, enough about all of that, back to the runs.
We arrived at Disney World on Thursday to attend the expo. The expo is a huge event broken down in to 3 different buildings. There is so much to look at everywhere you turn. Here is some advice if anyone is looking to run there, go and pick up your bib number first. Make sure you print and sign your waiver. Then go and pick up your shirt in the next building before attending the actual expo. There are lines at every station so make time to get the important things checked off the list first. RunDisney has a huge expo and there are lots of people which makes it hard to look. I thought the expo was great but everything was pretty pricey and I felt like I was being rushed so I didn't get to look all that much. RunDisney has another whole building dedicated to rundisney apparel and merchandise. I was so overwhelmed at the amount of stuff and yet this was the first expo where I didn't buy anything. If you can go right when the expo opens and go alone if you have to. Trust me, more time to look and see things that way.
3 AM comes very fast when you don't get in the bed until after midnight. When we arrived Thursday, the hotel had given us the wrong room. No big deal, Disney is awesome and will fix any mistake like that right away. We changed rooms at midnight, hoped in to bed and was awaken at 3 AM to get ready for the 5K on Friday. You have to be at the buses at 3:30 AM to load up to head to the start. Another advice, pay more to stay inside the park so you can get transported everywhere by a Disney bus. So worth every penny. Disney buses will pick you up at any Disney resort, take you to the start, and pick you up at the finish. They also take you back and forth to every park throughout the day and night. We arrived at the start outside of Epcot around 4:00 AM and found our corral. I was supposed to be in B but I moved back to walk with one of my friends. The race started at 5:30 but we didn't get started until after 6. The first mile of the race was roads outside of Epcot and not a whole lot to see. They had Rapunzel playing on a big screen about a half mile in which was cool. After mile 1, we came inside Epcot and ran around the entire loop of the park. The 5K was so much better than the half marathon because they had more music playing and characters throughout the race. The lines were so long, we didn't stop to meet any of the characters along the 5K route. We were highly entertained by all of our favorite Disney songs along the way. There were also great photo opportunities without having to wait in line. Epcot is such a pretty park and all of the cultures seem so real that we ran past. I had a blast getting to dress up for these runs. I was Cinderella for the 5K and Belle from Beauty and the Beast for the half. I wasn't running any of these races for a clock time, so I took the time to just enjoy the scenery. Talk about the best finisher medals in the land! RunDisney has the best medals you have ever seen. Rapunzel was on the 5K finisher medal. Tangled is one of my favorite movies and Beauty and The Beast is my all time favorite. The half marathon finishers medal was an apple from Snow White.
Half Marathon:
Again, 3 AM comes way too fast especially when you are having fun. Sunday morning we ran the half marathon and the same schedule applied. Up at 3, bus at 3:30, start at 4, race begins at 5:30 yet it took us an hour to get to the start line since we were in corral H because I forgot to submit a time. Never again do I want to be in the last corral for any Disney race. It was like being on an interstate that is backed up because of a wreck. We were in "traffic" the entire 13.1 miles of the race. I will say, I was disappointed with how much time we spent on the actual interstate and not inside a park. We were inside Magic Kingdom for maybe a little over a mile before getting back on a highway. The highlight of the race was getting to run through the castle and of course I had to stop to get a pic. Plus it wasn't like we could run a whole lot anyways because of all the people. There were 25,000 people running the half. Therefore, we walked the majority of the time which was fine because we were tired anyway from our time spent at the parks. The half marathon didn't have as many characters along the way but we did stop for one character picture. I think RunDisney puts more effort in to their small distance races versus the longer distances. I did enjoy the start of the half more then the 5K because of the fireworks that went off with every corral start. I thought that was really cool.
I don't think this will be my last RunDisney experience. I plan to do this again at some point. I know this wont be my last trip to Disney World either, because we have already booked our next trip for Thanksgiving. I am taking my sister to Disney this time without having to get up early for runs. We can enjoy the parks more that way.

Launching as Everything Everywhere in 2010 before quickly being renamed, EE was created as a result of the merger of Orange and T-Mobile's UK operations.
Due to the large customer-base already in place at those two brands, EE is currently rated as the most powerful mobile telecoms company in Britain with an estimated 28 million customers.
Formed in order to deal with the demands that the formation of the 4G data network was to put on both companies, EE was initially supposed to be the brand for all operation of the business – however, the ensuring popularity of the Orange and T-Mobile names has ensured that both are still used to advertised their own independent 3G network operations.
EE is much like main competitors O2 and Vodafone in that they mainly offer two types of tariff to customers – Pay As You Go (PAYG) and pay-monthly options. Most consumers are now signed up to a contract with the company, thanks to the increased cost of handsets (that can be offset in a monthly contract) and higher mobile data demands from consumers (with allowances for data generally higher on monthly tariffs).
Ofcom reports suggest that EE the subsidiary companies it owns are the most complained about telecoms businesses in the UK. It has been suggested this is due to tactics that have left customers aggrieved, such as mid-contract price increases and refusal to legally end contracts. More recently, a network outage – blamed on 'gremlins in the system' left many EE customers without coverage for a number of days.

Minnesota Democrats have sued to get Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's name removed from the state's general election ballots.
The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party's Thursday lawsuit claims the Minnesota Republican Party failed to nominate its presidential electors, the people who cast the state's 10 electoral college votes, in accordance with state law. Keith Downey, the chair of the Minnesota Republican Party, said last month that the party called a special meeting to approve alternative electors because it had previously neglected to do so.
The suit, which was filed directly to the Minnesota Supreme Court, adds a new level of chaos to an already strange election season. It could cause the parties to spend some of the rushed final eight weeks of the election fighting in court, distracting from other campaigning. While the suit is a technical one, if successful, it could affect the entire presidential election.
"It is incumbent upon political parties to follow the rules binding our elections and in this instance it does not appear that the Minnesota Republican Party did so," said Ken Martin, the chair of the DFL Party. The DFL said last month that it did not plan to sue over the issue.
The role of a party's electors is to cast a vote for the candidate who won its state's popular vote in the presidential election. Obviously the Republican party electors would not be given that responsibility unless Trump wins Minnesota, a scenario which is (to put it mildly) highly unlikely.
So why would the DFL chair even bother with what seems to be a frivolous suit? The hope for DFLers is that if Trump is taken off the ballot, it may suppress GOP voter turnout. If that indeed occurs, it would then likely hamper Republicans' chances to maintain its Minnesota House majority, attain the majority in the MN Senate or flip the 8th Congressional District (the one CD where it appears Trump's candidacy is a net positive).
In the end it seems the MN GOP did not follow the state law to the letter. And while it appears the DFL is being petty, the state Republican party's disarray gave the Dems this ammo. The MN Supreme Court will have to issue a ruling within a couple of weeks so as to accommodate early voting. Hard to say which side benefits from what will need to be an expedited decision.
2016, man.

Plant specialist JCB has introduced a number of new machines, including the 220X crawler excavator and a seven tonne site dumper.
A brand synonymous with construction plant, it is unlikely that anyone on a housebuilding site would not have heard of JCB – and highly likely that most would have used at least one of the company's products.
To maintain this broad appeal the company is continually innovating and launching new solutions. PHPD recently visited the company's HQ in Rocester to see some of its latest machines including the new 220X crawler excavator.
220X crawler excavators
The new 220X crawler excavators are the first models in the next generation of JCB tracked machines for the construction market. The new machines feature a 15% larger global cab with integral ROPS structure – offering reduced noise levels, stronger side doors for greater strength and increased protection and an ergonomically-designed cab with simple user interface. Other features include an upperstructure that is now a full 2.7 metre wide, 200mm broader than their predecessors, and a central main boom mounting for increased digging accuracy and durability.
JCB's Chief Innovation and Growth Officer Tim Burnhope said: "With the next generation 220X, JCB has moved to a totally new level of product development and machine assembly that will benefit all of our excavator customers. Every detail of these excavators has been examined and perfected, to provide maximum durability and reliability in operation."
Skid Steer and Compact Tracked Loaders
Celebrating 25 years of skid steer production, the company is launching seven new large-platform skid steer loaders and compact tracked machines. The machines feature a new Hi-Viz boom, which is mounted 50mm lower to further improve visibility from the cab.
JCB Chief Innovation and Growth Officer Tim Burnhope told us: "Twenty-five years ago, JCB's approach to design turned the skid steer market upside down when we launched our first innovative model. Since then we have proven the safety benefits for the operator by having side entry and, most importantly, the strength and durability of the JCB Powerboom design. We added our first JCB compact tracked loaders 20 years ago and we now have both wheeled and tracked versions of the Teleskid telescopic boom skid steer and tracked loader."
Mini Excavators: New 15c-1 model
The company is also boosting its mini excavator range, with the launch of the 15C-1, the fourteenth model new since the first of the 'next generation' machines was introduced in 2014. Tipping the scales at 1.5 tonnes, the machine has a proven powerful 11.7kW engine and reliable hydraulics together with 100% steel bodywork for maximum impact protection and ease of repair
All 'next generation' mini excavators come with 10 tie-down points, positioned on the undercarriage and upperstructure, making it easier to transport the machine whilst reducing risk of damage to rubber tracks.
JCB's Chief Innovation and Growth Officer Tim Burnhope said: "The all-new 15C-1 will be an important player in the sub-two tonne sector, a segment where more than 50,000 machines were sold globally last year."
Site Dumper safety enhanced
JCB is also launching a completely new range of site dumpers, designed and built in-house, with capacities from one to nine tonnes. With an industry-wide focus on forward tipping dumpers, the company's new line-up includes a one tonne high-tip, three tonne front and swivel tip with a choice of transmissions, six tonne front and swivel tip and a nine tonne front tip model. The flagship of the new JCB site dumper range is the Hi-Viz seven tonne model, a new site dumper design.
The 7T-1 Front Tip Hi-Viz model addresses key safety concerns including visibility, stability and operator protection:
- The operator is able to see a 1.4m high object at a distance of 1.0 metre from the machine when laden, and 0.8m height at a distance of 1.0m when unladen.
- The risk of a machine overturn has been reduced, due to the improvement in stability. By increasing the wheelbase, widening the wheel track and lowering the skip height, stability is improved in all directions. The payload centre of gravity is reduced by 16%.
- Operator protection is improved via the fitment of the JCB SiTESAFE cab as standard. The ROPS/FOPS Level II cab features a reinforced frame and impact protective front screen, designed and tested to withstand a front dump impact and side slewing impact from a 13-tonne excavator. A retractable Hi-Viz orange lap belt keeps the operator safe, with a sequenced drive-inhibit system ensuring the lap belt is worn.
JCB Chief Innovation and Growth Officer Tim Burnhope said: "We believe that the JCB site dumper range, led by its flagship Hi-Viz seven tonne machine, offers a safer solution for customers and it is a clear demonstration of JCB's innovative approach to machine design and development."

Copyright: The battle over online copyright liability heated up in the House, where several groups lobbied for and against a draft bill prepared by Rep. Howard Coble, R-N.C., chairman of the intellectual property panel of the House Committee on the Judiciary. The telecommunications and online companies oppose Coble's measure, which they say will leave them exposed to expensive lawsuits whenever someone uses their networks to transmit pirated software, music or data. But the copyright owners, including the Recording Industry Association of America, rolled out luminaries such as country music star Johnny Cash to testify in favor of the bill, saying it is needed to prevent large-scale piracy of their digital property. The telecommunications companies are backing a rival bill introduced by Sen. John Ashcroft, R-Mo.
Liability: Rep. Coble's copyright bill is also attracting opposition from hardware and software companies, who fear that Section 1201 of Coble's bill would expose them to lawsuits when their products - such as a computer chip or desktop computer - are used to bypass or disable copyright-protection technology. The technology is used by movie producers and software publishers.
Security: The House of Representatives approved the new Computer Security Enhancement Act of 1997 on Sept. 16. The bill, pushed by the Committee on Science, gives the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Md., more authority to promote government information security, partly through easier purchase of commercial security products.
Research: To promote industry alliances, the Commerce Department's Advanced Technology Program is planning to require that large companies pay at least 60 percent of any research projects that are funded by the program. However, the firms can cut their share of the costs if they establish joint ventures with other firms, according to the draft rules. The program provides some research funds to bolster companies' development of innovative technologies.
IRS Reform: Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., has introduced the long-awaited White House bill intended to reform management of the Internal Revenue Service, even as a rival bill was pushed by Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., and Rep. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. Rangel's bill would strengthen the IRS' current managers, while the Kerrey-Portman bill would give much authority over the IRS to an outside panel of industry experts.

Optical Character Recognition
Bank statements can be scanned and turned into PDF files. They can then be processed by optical character recognition. Two obvious features of bank statements are that they look just right for transfer to a spreadsheet, and that there is a running total which can be used as a check on the scanning. We have software which can do all this, and then analyse the results automatically for inclusion in the accounts. Our system generates accountant's working papers on the side.
Our current OCR system is a very basic system which is subject to continuous improvement. It is already productive enough to allow us to relax a bit and to concentrate on improving the basic system first.
No OCR system is currently able to read cheque book stubs. If there are a lot of cheque payments then these will have to be typed in by a human. If you type in a lot of narrative on Excel, you will see it helping you by "autocompleting" what you type, which we take advantage of.
However, the autocomplete system needs a unique trigger in order to kick in. If there are two narratives almost the same, like "International Trading" and "International Products", then autocomplete is of less use. Our software provides a separate toolpad which continually looks for awkward long-trigger narratives and lists them separately, so we just click on a button to enter them. We call this super-autocomplete. Apart from this, there is another toolpad which just lists the commonest narratives typed in so far. A lot of the work is repetitive, and this helps.
We also have autocomplete for dates. If you type in just the day, then the month and year are copied down from a previous entry automatically.

But it's this November's municipal elections that I'm already most preoccupied with. Who to vote for now that it seems Mayor Robertson and Vision Vancouver have definitively lost their way, bowing at every level, it would seem, to unseen elites rather than truly representing the citizens who elected them in the first place? I cite as evidence the following:
1. The Olympic Village Boondoggle: According to Gary Mason, in today's Globe, the $40-50 million Vancouver taxpayers are now predicted to be on the hook for re Millennium's default on its loan from the city (and which last week City Hall claimed was down sharply from the predicted $150 million plus we were potentially looking at before the complex went into receivership and a rebranding campaign was launched to sell the remaining condos) is actually more like $230 million once the additional $180 million Millennium has failed to pay back for the land is factored into the equation. I realize the previous administration got us into this mess, but I agree with Mason (of whom I am not normally a fan, and who in general has been a rabid Olympics boosterer) that being less than fiscally honest with residents is repugnant.
All of this raises the question of why Olympic host cities are required to build such facilities in the first place--most always the biggest single expense, and generally leaving a morass of debt and recrimination after the event. Can't the athletes be put up in hotels, or billeted with families? Or erect temporary structures--tents, anyone?--that can be easily removed or converted into container-type social housing after the fact. Surely there has to be a better solution than burdening cities around the world with similar problem buildings on redeveloped land that will be difficult to flog in any market, let alone one following a global recession.
2. The Right to Protest: Word in today's paper that Robertson has asked that a proposed bylaw banning the erection of temporary structures as part of civic protests be revisited and reworked does little to reassure one that this administration hasn't in fact been taking direction from the Chinese government--and specifically on the matter of the Falun Gong protesters whose daily vigil outside the Chinese consulate on Granville Street the proposed bylaw seems expressly designed to target. What a spectacular abrogation of the basic principles of civic democracy! It's enough to make one want to reconsider CSIS Director Robert Fadden's remarks last year regarding Chinese influence over Canadian municipal elected officials.
3. Casinos: I am also not sanguine about today's announcement from Paragon, the BC Place developer that wants to build a major new casino adjacent the sports complex, that it has found a partner in Marriott for the hotel that is also to be part of the project. This is just the sort of 5-star endorsement that makes this Council start seeing dollar signs. Despite the overwhelming community--and police--opposition to the development, I predict that a negative vote next Tuesday is far from assured.
Instead of bread and circuses, why not think more creatively about arts and culture? After tentatively endorsing the Vancouver Art Gallery's move to Larwill Park, Council has been deafeningly silent on Bing Thom's inspired proposal for a new recital hall and performing arts complex at the VAG's current site.
4. Fireworks: More bread and circuses. A final item that caught my attention in today's press was word that the infernal Celebration of Light, the annual fireworks competition held very summer off English Bay, has been given new financial legs, thanks in part to money and in-kind sponsorships from the City. Why? Most West End residents hate the event; it provides license to homophobic louts from the suburbs to get drunk and go looking to bash some fags; and as far as I can see it's largely an empty and pointless spectacle.
Much like the past three years at City Hall.

As with any huge system changeover, even with the most diligent work and attention to detail behind the scenes, there will be "bumps" along the new path. Should you encounter any, please let Stacy Magedanz know about them so we can get them fixed (screenshots are a plus!).
We thank you for your patience!
