An Insurance Guide to Sending Your Child Off to CollegeAugust 18, 2015
Many college and university students will soon be heading to school, which means now's the time to start thinking about insurance for your child. Where your child is living and studying will impact what kind of insurance they need once they leave home.
Home & Tenants Insurance
If your child is moving into a dorm room they will likely be covered under your home insurance policy; however, some policies cap the coverage and a limit of about $5,000 isn't unusual. If your child is bringing a lot of expensive items with them to school—including laptops, music and specialty equipment, electronics, etc.—you should speak with your insurance provider to see if additional coverage needs to be added to your policy to ensure their belongings will be fully covered.
If you child is renting a room, apartment, or home off campus then they're going to need their own insurance as they will not qualify under yours. Tenants insurance will protect their belongings while providing liability insurance as well.
- Related Read: Tenant Insurance: How it Works, Why You Need it
Travel Insurance
If your child is travelling out of the country to study full-time for a semester or for the duration of their education then it is a wise idea to get travel insurance, especially emergency health insurance. This will protect them in the event they are sick or injured while studying in another country. Health services can be exponentially expensive when abroad, often costing thousands of dollars a day for care and treatments. Travel insurance provides peace of mind and coverage at a much lower price tag, with policies starting as low as $2 a day.

Car Insurance
Even though your child may be moving away to study, it is recommended you keep them on your auto insurance policy. This ensures they remain covered if they use the vehicle when they come home, and it also helps them build up a positive driving record which could earn them insurance premium discounts down the line. If it isn't already, changing the status of your child to an "occasional" driver could lower your auto insurance premiums in the meantime.
- Related Read: Top 10 Tips For Cheaper Car Insurance
Of course, to really get the most bang for your buck you should always shop insurance rates around.
Tips for Effective Insurance Quote Comparisons
- When comparing rates, look not only at the lowest options, but at the breadth of the coverage.
- Watch out for exclusions, especially when it comes to travel insurance. These are terms under which the insurance provider will not provide coverage.
- Talk to your auto insurance provider about lowering your car insurance rates once your occasional driver goes off to school. Don't be afraid to compare rates online to make sure you're getting the best coverage for your needs. Also ask them about discounts, such as for good grades.
- Your home insurance provider may not offer the best tenants insurance to your student. Like all types of insurance, it pays to shop around for tenants insurance, especially for university and college students when every dollar counts.

so so so happy to announce the publication of a text by Possible Bodies feat. Helen Pritchard that starts like this (and brings in a soundscape!):
The machine began to rotate slowly. She swallowed the paramagnetic
contrast agent in one go, preparing her vessels to render themselves
later. When the metallic taste faded, she could smell the ancient
chestnut trees blossom nearby. Her crystal studded belt was stored with
the pyrosome pendant in a strongbox outside the perimeter and the
radio-pharmaceutical body-paint shimmered, still wet. Across from her,
the others followed and struck an A-pose. Judging by the roar of the
crowd that was barely audible from inside, tonight they would finally
make a living.
and it comes under the umbrella of an editorial work by Sophie Toupin & spideralex that goes like this:
Feminist techno-speculative storytelling, fiction and design gestures
towards a set of geographies of the imaginary and of their materiality
deeply inspired by social justice and political transformation.

Ivelina Cholakova
My name is Ivelina and I can say photography is my passion! For nine years now I am a freelance photographer. Each and every one of these 9 years I continued upgrading - I would participate in a masterclass of some of my favourite photographers, simply for inspiration and to improve.
In 2017 I realized an independent exhibition with 36 female portraits. But I also have separate participation in other exhibitions.
Memories engage our emotions! Things we lived through, our background, is what remains in our hearts. But our memory is fragile and it is photography that makes the blurred memories bright. It makes it possible for us to remember those moments that make our life unique. Personally, for me, photography is both love and art, combined in one. The ability to see the good in every person and situation and show it in the best way possible.
I experience moments in every wedding as a unique and such a special day, because I realize this is going to be the only time that all these people come together at this place, at the same time, looking for the relations between them, all those strong and deep emotions, smiling faces, the love and tears of happiness.
And I love being there to capture it all!

The end of a year usually brings those in every industry to predict and say what they see in the future. We here at AVNation are no exception. Some will prove true, some won't. There are some in the AV industry who have already predicted that AVB is dead. I'm not so sure about that. I, on the other hand, have predicted that 2014 would be the year of AVB. Within a few days into the new year, it looks very good for the AVnu Alliance and AVB.
Crestron Electronics has become the newest member of the AVnu Alliance. (The AVnu Alliance is the industry group dedicated to promoting the AVB standard). What this means is that Crestron is the "first home automation company" to join the Alliance. While that may be important to the Alliance, the other facet of Crestron's business is important to the rest of us in AV.
Crestron's successful HD distribution system is called Digital Media, or DM for short. DM is currently based on the HDBaseT standard and supports a point-to-point architecture. What Crestron's entrance into the AVnu Alliance signals is either a move away from HDBaseT or a possible augmentation to the current DM infrastructure.
The DM chassis already have the ability to act as switches; both network and KVM. Would it really be much of a stretch for them to become the first AV-centric AVB enabled switch? I might be overstating this just a bit, but the possibilities are very exciting. With the experience Crestron has over the last fifteen years of living on the network, they could make the perfect bridge (pun intended) to span the gap between AV and IT. Convergence indeed.
It may also be that Crestron is hedging their bets, as Bradford Benn on AVWeek Episode 124 posited. It could be that they are just exploring all the transport possibilities and standards. However, they could do that without joining the AVnu Alliance. However, I am very bullish on AVB this year, so I may see every announcement as a giant leap forward when, in reality, it is just a tiny step.
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Have a great week.

Ecological Literacy Immersion Program (ELIP)
Omega Center for Sustainable Living
Designing our regenerative future: A 4-week certification program
June 30- July 26, 2019, Rhinebeck, NY
Solving today's challenges requires ecological literacy—an understanding of the patterns and principles that underlie all living systems.
This transformational 4-week residential certificate program uses the frameworks of regenerative design—a whole systems, place-based approach to problem solving that considers the connections between society, nature, and individuals—to provide participants with instruments and tools for innovation.
Using the 250-acre Omega campus as our classroom, we learn to consciously design for our learning goals, the physical and ecological landscape, and the social systems that support human well-being and carry our designs forward into the future.
While deepening our understanding of place, we examine current global challenges and learn from the solutions that exist at Omega and around the world.
Guided by experts in the fields of permaculture, regenerative agriculture, ecological engineering, water and soil science, wilderness awareness, and whole systems design, we explore the potential for building a regenerative future.
Participants in this 4-week program will earn an internationally recognized Permaculture Design Certificate. College credit and a certificate of attendance are also available, with a separate fee.

Isaiah 25:6-9
6 On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear. 7 And he will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations; 8 he will swallow up death forever. Then the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken. 9 It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation. (NRSV).
A Feast of Rich Food
I have good news to preach to you today. I have discovered the jewel of Mount Vernon, the great gem of this city, the culinary holy of holies itself. Hawg N Sauce. I know God told the Israelites to eat Kosher and avoid pork, but by golly there better be baby back ribs in heaven. My favorite barbeque restaurant is still Rib Country in Hayesville, North Carolina, but Hawg N Sauce is pretty good.
Living in the Carolinas was barbeque heaven. There's East Carolina style (which is vinegar and pepper based), West Carolina style (which is tomato, vinegar, and pepper based), and South Carolina style (which is mustard, vinegar, and pepper based). They're all good in their own way, but West Carolina style is my favorite. There is no better food on planet earth that West Carolina style baby back ribs. I eat the meat and suck the marrow from the bones. I even dip the bones in the sauce just so I can suck on the marrow again.
This is why I'm certain there will be baby back ribs at the great banquet in heaven, "the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples…a feast of rich food filled with marrow." And, I hope, barbeque sauce.
Isaiah's words give us a glimpse of what God has promised: feasting, true sight, the end of death, the comforting of those who weep, and the removal of our disgrace. This is what salvation will look like. And death in this text isn't merely the ending of an individual life. Death is spoken of in the Scriptures as a power, an enemy that must be destroyed. It's the power associated with the other things mentioned around it. Death is why we mourn and weep.
But the road to get to salvation is not what we would expect. It's a road that's paved with suffering. And it's not only our suffering, but God's. If we're honest, suffering is the part we all want to skip. We want to get right to the glory without the cost it takes to get there. We want the reign of God without judgment.
Well, some people want judgment. But the people who want judgment are usually those smug types who can't wait to see how those other people get their just deserts. They don't fear judgment because they're fine. Those are the types I worry about the most because I think the Judgment of God is going to be a shock for them.
But typically, we are a people who want to get right to the feast in the Kingdom of God without the cost to ourselves, to others, and to God.
To put it in other words, we want Easter without having to go through Good Friday. As a pastor, I've lamented many times that Easter Sunday services are packed, while Good Friday services are barely attended. But that's who we are as people. We want the resurrection without the crucifixion. But the truth is, without the crucifixion, there is no resurrection. Without the suffering, there is no glory. Without the cost, there is no triumph.
It's the same with almost any story that's written. Without power there is no conflict. Without conflict there is no tension. Without tension, there is no story because there's nothing to be overcome. The struggle is what makes a story good.
God doesn't always work the way we want God to work. We want God to snap his fingers and make everything okay, make all of our sins disappear, erase every mistake we've made. We want God to say, You know, it's okay. This whole human sin thing, we'll just pretend it never happened.
But redemption comes with a price. Death is a power that had to be overcome. The glorious reign of God comes with a price. By and large, it's a price that God paid with the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Yet, human suffering continues when people and institutions continue to resist God's will.
It helps to look at the context of these words in Isaiah 25 alongside Isaiah 24. Chapter 24 isn't easy to read. The entire chapter is about God's judgment of heaven and earth. Part of it says this: "The earth is shattering, shattering; the earth is shaking, shaking; the earth is teetering, tottering. The earth trembles like a drunk and shudders like a hut; it's rebellion weighs heavy upon it; it will fall, no more to rise. On that day, the Lord will punish the forces of heaven in heaven, and the kings of the earth on earth" (Is. 24:19-21, CEB).
Suffering and judgment are the result of human sin. It's our disobedience to God's way, our rejection of God's love, our resistance to God's rule and reign that causes us to leave suffering in our wake. Sin is what will cause us experience judgment in the future. Judgment isn't pretty. Suffering isn't pretty. But they're both real, and they're the path we trod to get to glory. No one is left untouched by them. Even God. The suffering servant bore our sins on the cross as he offered himself for our sake. The judgment we deserve, God took upon God's self in order to show us what real love and obedience look like.
One of the things God said to us in the crucifixion of Christ is: Look! The way you treat each other, the way you do violence to each other and cause others to suffer, whether it's individuals, governments, or organizations, it affects me, too. God made us to love and to be loved, so when we fail at that, it doesn't leave God untouched any more than it leaves our fellow human beings untouched.
At the same time, God is working to defeat sin, evil, oppression, and violence from among us. The church is called to participate in that work in whatever way we can. We can see a glimpse of God's victory—the victory over death—in the resurrection of Christ. And we can experience a foretaste of the victory banquet every time we come to the table for Holy Communion.
This is God's table in God's dining room. This is where our community of faith communes with each other. But it isn't only with those gathered here. This feast reaches across the world. In it, we share a meal with Christians everywhere. Yet, there's also an eschatological quality to the Eucharist, in that we are mystically feasting with the saints on earth and in heaven. It's a foretaste of the feast to come.
God's feast on Mount Zion is for all peoples, not for a select few. The invitation is wide open. Anyone who wants to come is invited and welcomed.
Death comes for everyone, but our hope is in God's promise of life on the other side. We hope, we believe, and we have confidence that those who leave us behind are alive and well. Because of that, our own lives need not be defined by grief and mourning. Yes, we experience deep sorrow when someone we love dies. We do grieve. We do mourn. But we also have hope.
The lectionary actually lists a text from a book called the Wisdom of Solomon as the Old Testament reading for today. Isaiah is the alternate text. Wisdom of Solomon is in the Catholic and Orthodox Bibles, not in Protestant Bibles. But, since the vast majority of Christians on the planet hold this book to be sacred Scripture, and since this text is read in many Protestant churches for All Saints' Day, I think it's fair that we at least pay some attention to it. Wisdom of Solomon says this about those who have died:
"The souls of those who do what is right are in God's hand. They won't feel the pain of torment. 2 To those who don't know any better, it seems as if they have died. Their departure from this life was considered their misfortune. 3 Their leaving us seemed to be their destruction, but in reality they are at peace. 4 It may look to others as if they have been punished, but they have the hope of living forever. 5 They were disciplined a little, but they will be rewarded with abundant good things, because God tested them and found that they deserve to be with him. 6 He tested them like gold in the furnace; he accepted them like an entirely burned offering. 7 Then, when the time comes for judgment, the godly will burst forth and run about like fiery sparks among dry straw. 8 The godly will judge nations and hold power over peoples, even as the Lord will rule over them forever. 9 Those who trust in the Lord will know the truth. Those who are faithful will always be with him in love. Favor and mercy belong to the holy ones. God watches over God's chosen ones." (Wisdom 3:1-9, CEB).
I think both of these texts sum up our hopes fairly well. Those who have died are alive. Though their bodies—and ours—will experience decay, we will live. Though we experience suffering and pain in this life, there will come a day when God holds us and gives us such comfort that we'll no longer weep. Every injustice shall be set right. Every act of violence will be paid in full. But we don't need to be afraid of judgment because God bore everything for us in the cross of Jesus Christ.
God will wipe away the tears from our faces. God will set a feast for us with well-aged wines and rich, marrow-filled foods. And so, we wait patiently. Not idly, but with active patience as we labor for God's Kingdom just as the saints before us labored. One day, we'll join our voices with all of God's people as we say, "This is the Lord for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation." (Is. 25:9b).
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Scripture quotations are from the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) and the Common English Bible (CEB).

Ljubljana, Aug 21 :
In a bid to introduce and promote Indian produced wines Europe, the country will participate in upcoming Vino Ljubljana International Wine Fair from Sep 4-6 here.
However, according to promoters of Indian wines in Slovenia, there has been no major push or encouragement from Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA).
Even as the government policy is to encourage Indian food and beverages exports by promoting Indian produce in new markets such as Slovenia is well laid down.
This comes even after an invitation welcoming India's participation in the upcoming event being held here was sent by the Slovenian agriculture ministry.
This is the first time that Indian wines will compete in the oldest wine tasting event in Europe — Vino Ljubljana 2014.
Diplomatic sources, said that Indian exporters need to be encouraged to explore new markets such as Slovenia to promote agricultural produce and processed foods like wines.

Nintendo answers your questions
June 02, 2008
Many long-time Nintendo fans over the years have been frustrated by the Japanese company's reluctance to regularly communicate with its customers, but Rose Lappin's straight-talking interview with Screen Play last week suggests a willingness to change its reclusive image.
Nintendo Australia's Managing Director even got back to Screen Play last week after we had published the interview, keen to respond to some of the questions that readers had posed, which I am pleased to present below.
In keeping with this new spirit of community, Nintendo also launched Wii's new Nintendo Channel on Friday, which features information like Australian DS and Wii release schedules for the next month, and video footage such as interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto. Users can also submit basic feedback on all games they have played, and download DS game demos.
Nintendo is also conducting another "Connection Tour" of Westfield shopping centres nationally starting June 28 where players can try games like Super Smash Bros Brawl, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness and Guitar Hero on Tour.
Click below for Rose Lappin's answers to your Nintendo questions.
Why are the Wii's online capabilities so limited? For example, no downloadable content for many games like Guitar Hero 3, and the complicated system for sending messages to other users.
Guitar Hero 3 is a third party title, so unfortunately we can't comment on their product.
What we do have available at this stage for online gaming is Mario Kart Wii, and coming out June 26, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In terms of downloadable content, we also have the various Wii Channels that are available including Mii Channel, Everybody Votes Channel, News Channel, Forecast Channel, Wii Shop Channel, Internet Channel, Photo Channel, Nintendo Channel and Mii Contest Channel; as well as Virtual Console, for classic game downloads, and now WiiWare for new downloads.
In reference to the system for sending messages, the Wii Message Board, we haven't had any feedback on it being difficult to use. But of course if any users are having difficulty please contact our Customer Support Centre, or visit here, which guides you through how to access it.
Is there an issue related to burnt hardware boards on the Wii from being permanently on standby? Should we switch it off at the power point instead?
I have spoken to our service area, and they are certainly not aware of any issues with burnt hardware boards from units being left on standby. So I can't see any reason to switch the unit off. If there is anyone that has issues with this, please let our service department know, which can be done by calling (03) 9730 9822.
I am from Sydney and recently had problems with my Wii console (under warranty) and after two phone calls to the service centre I was told to send it to Melbourne. Is there any plan in near future to open a service centre in Sydney? That would help with cutting the cost of register mail, which will cost about $30 and 1-2 weeks waiting time to get it back.
We don't currently have any plans to open a service centre in Sydney. The retail store you purchased your Wii from should be able to send it back to Nintendo on your behalf. We suggest you go back to where you purchased it from to ensure there is no cost to you to send it to Nintendo. In terms of the turn around time, we now have more people working in our service area, and in most cases we now have a five day turn around.
Why is there such a shortage of Wii Wheels and Wii Remotes?
Honestly, we didn't order enough, but we realised it after we launched Mario Kart Wii. The demand has outstripped supply because the Wii has been so popular globally. This has put a really high demand on not only hardware but accessories as well.
The take up on Wii accessories has been higher than for any other console. But we have some really good numbers coming through on all the Wii accessories in the coming months.
If there is no evidence of a DS being dropped, will Nintendo fix a cracked hinge for free, regardless of the age of the DS console?
Whether it has been dropped or not, we can certainly have a look at it. We are most happy to asses any unit that has a cracked hinge and repair where necessary.
A Wii in the US costs about AU$270, why is the cost $400 here?
I think you'll find this relates to most things in the US compared to Australia, we make our pricing decisions based on the price we purchase for from Japan.
Why are we still tied to European release dates?
Because our system is region based we are part of the PAL region which is Europe. We are always working towards closer release dates for the fans, as we understand their frustration at waiting for titles.
Can you please get more people to answer the phones at Scoresby? I reckon I've spent about 40 minutes on the phone throughout last week trying to get a replacement battery cover for a Wii Remote - patience wears thin after about 10 minutes on hold at STD rates.
We realise this has been an issue, which we have now addressed. From the middle of June 2008, our phone line capacity will double. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience people may have experienced whilst having to wait.
A final note...
I appreciate the comments and questions that have come back, and all the issues that have been raised. Only when we are aware of issues can we work towards a better solution, so thanks to everyone for the feedback, it is appreciated.

"Is there an issue related to burnt hardware boards on the Wii from being permanently on standby? Should we switch it off at the power point instead?"
That reminds me of when I had my Wii, I used to always unplug the power plug when it was off- it got very warm to the touch (moreso than my 360 at full belt!) even in standby mode...
I didn't realise we could submit questions... I would've asked why myself and other fans got screwed over with the free pokemon giveaway for Diamond/Pearl last year. Nintendo reps went around to JBs around Australia and removed the units before the giveaway was officially over, meaning we couldn't get the free pokemon. Sure, it's not a major issue, but it's that sort of attitude that really turns fans away from companies.
Jason says: Regarding reader questions, it wasn't something that I initiated. But people on both The Age and SMH versions of Screen Play did raise other issues they wanted answered, and Rose kindly wanted to address them.

A Wii in the US costs about AU$270, why is the cost $400 here?
I think you'll find this relates to most things in the US compared to Australia, we make our pricing decisions based on the price we purchase for from Japan.
So what I gather she is saying that they buy in Yen, not US dollars then.
So what's the conversion then, Does someone know what a Japanese person buys a wii for then in Yen?
Lets see if it costs about right, so from a little bit of google research it coss about 25, 000 YEN for a WII?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this but according to this we are still getting ripped off little old lady!
Highway robbery if you ask me.

- June 02, 2008
This is a good example of a company attempting to address it's poor PR performance of late. Seem to recall Nintendo also getting slammed by Greenpeace in their green tech research, not because they performed badly but because they failed to address the issues.
It'd be good if Rose was going to be available to answer questions in the future too - perhaps you could get Screenplayers to submit questions, either by posting or by emailing them to you? Serious ones only though, don't think we need to cover the SSMB issue further ;)

Rampant cynicism follows...
It'd be nice to get some feedback, but this feels like question dodging. Why are the online capabilities so limited? They're not, and if they are it's the 3rd parties that are choosing to screw you, not us.
What about hardware faults? There are none. But we're sorry about our service centers being overloaded. We're not opening more, but we're getting more phone lines. Hmm...
What about the pricing? Let's just say you're still buying them.
And release dates? It's PAL... You know... PAL? That answers everything. Nevermind that PAL/NTSC isn't the issue you're referring to.
I will say it's nice to be chasing up comments post interview... Very proactive... But a dark part of me wonders why she has the time to.
end rampant cynicism.
None of those issues really bothered me. I've had no troubles with my wii and I actually started playing advance wars on the DS last night. Now I'm hoping I'll get more of a chance to sit down with it.
- death to nerds
- June 02, 2008
So Nintendo saw our comments and cherry picked the easy ones to answer?
Still fail to address why games are so expensive. Almost twice the price of America and 1/3 more than Europe.
And that we are screwed as we have no choice to buy from overseas. Not a strange concept to Nintendo, the DS works this way. Obviously they just wanted to screw the Wii owners over. Thanks.
And don't give me that s**t regarding the costs of doing business, don't see DVDs or CD's having the same problem. Citizen Kane is 21US on Amazon, my copy was cheaper in Australia.
@Punkarella - good research. Rose? Thoughts on this considering you're below average spin has just been blown out of the water?

7 posts for a topic? Unheard of! I would've thought at least people would've commented on some of the statements Rose made. Perhaps everyone's busy with work.... (lol)
- Kermit
- June 02, 2008
There seems to be a lot of "we don't think its a problem because nobody has complained" excuses going on here. Online gaming on the Wii is a joke, and the friends code nonsense also takes the biscuit. Does Rose really not know that Xbox Live is one thousand times better for consumers that what Nintendo is currently dishing up? At least Sony knows they have a lot of work to do in the online space, and have improved in recent times after the astonishing botch-up of the PS2's online system.
- InstinctSage
- June 02, 2008
Amen to that, Kermit. This kind of grin and bear it PR seems more aimed at shareholders wanting to hear good news than customers wanting good answers.

- Punkarella
- June 02, 2008
Yup lets blog about something else, just thought I'd make a point about price. Not that it makes any difference.
Personally I have a US wii so I don't particually care about dodgey release dates, over inflated PAL release prices,but in PR terms 'We're looking into it' means 'No we are not...'
- lactose_the_intolerant
- June 02, 2008
well it is a load of PR spin but what do you expect it is there job i dont think that it is possible for a mannaging director to spk in plain english anymore.
as for release dates do you really think that nintendo australia or "any game company" australia has any say? do you think they are sitting there saying "yep lets make them wait so long that most gamers import that is the best business plan"
so i will say thanks to rose i take everything you say with a grain of salt because alot of it is question dodging pr spin but the fact that you have taken the effort to look into our concerns beyond what is needed from you is something that must be comended

Good for Rose Lappin to take the initiative and answer unsolicited questions that she didn't have to do.
This could be a good idea for a monthly thing maybe.

Any kudos points garnered for proactively answering questions gets lost amongst the marketing speak and PR spin, sorry.
If people are asking you about problems with your products, it means that problems exist - so don't pretend they don't.
- Falooza
- June 03, 2008
I find it hard to comment on these types of posts. I just can't listen to marketing talk. As soon as they say something like 'it's good for the consumer' I just switch off. It just all ends up sounding meaningless to me. She's not up to the Ephraim level of crap but she's cut from the same cloth.

Seems I made a typo in my security code last night. Bugger.
Let's see if I can remember what I wrote...
PR spin translations
"We are not aware of any issues." = "We're hoping you won't notice."
"We are looking into it." = "We're hoping you'll forget about it."
"We are aware of some issues for a small number of players." = "Damn, you didn't forget about it."
"We do not think it has spoiled anyone's enjoyment of the game." = "The unwashed meatheads are still buying it, so why bother fixing it?"
"If you have an issue, we invite you to take it up with our service centre." = "Take it off-list, buddy."
"We cannot comment on speculation and rumours." = "When I find out who the leak is, they're dead..."

Welcome to My Personal Guide Website,
This is not the website of a large tour company. In Cambodia, there are many, many tour companies and many people who are competing to take tourists to the temples. Cambodia Angkor Tours is different. It is a one man operation. I worked very hard at different jobs to get to where
Since Cambodia Angkor Tours is a reflection of me, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I grew up farming rice with my parents, five brothers, and two sisters, but I wanted an education. My school was very far away and my parents had no money to send me there. So every day I woke up at five a.m., watered the crops, and rode a bicycle one hour to school. When I returned in the afternoon, I took care of our cows and helped my parents with the farm. I wanted to escape from these jobs.
I have many beautiful nieces and nephews now and I sponsor them so that they too may go to school and build good lives for themselves. I often take many of my guests to my home village to meet my family and experience real Khmer village life. My guests can help us tend the rice paddies and care for the cows and oxen. We have many traditional Khmer musicians in my village, and guests can spend time with them learning traditional Khmer instruments. Village families are large and the children always get excited when foreigners come to visit. Many of my clients have enjoyed an afternoon playing games with our local kids. I hope we can share our culture with you.
Your guide to Cambodia,
Mr, Kol Chhen ,

Mysterious Video Teaser Announces EXO's 2015 Comeback
On December 3, SMTOWN's official YouTube channel uploaded a teaser video for EXO's 2015 comeback. Since the departure of two of their members, Kris and Luhan who filed lawsuits this past year to nullify their contracts with SM Entertainment, EXO has continued to promote as a ten-member group. They recently won big at the 2014 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA), snagging "Album of the Year" for the second year straight.
The mysterious new video begins with a spinning top and takes us through a series of modern, minimalist scenes featuring a variety of gray objects, which move or transform in different ways. Many of the objects invoke EXO's hexagon logo. Unlike the usual comeback teaser, the black-and-white video features none of the EXO members, and the background music consists of sound effects that go along with the movement of the objects.
The video ends with "EXO 2015 Coming Soon," with no exact date specified. This will be EXO's first comeback since the release of their album "Overdose" in May 2014.

Turn It Up Tuesday!2
April 9, 2013 by esarsea
There are no words I can write that would do this justice. Just turn it up. To 11.
Category: Music, Turn It Up Tuesday! | Tags: Blues, Frank Marino, GIbson SG, Music, Red House, Turn It Up Tuesday
2 thoughts on "Turn It Up Tuesday!"
torqdog says:
I have this Bromont concert on DVD. It's a professionally done video with a tolerable mix that shows Frank in his heyday doing the "Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Live" tour. Most notable cuts are King Bee (04:10) and the legendary, hotter than anything version of Johnny B'Goode (29:56).
Like Jeff Beck and Al DiMeola, Frank Marino was always a "must see" show for me. He was for sure my favorite guitarist back then and I saw him everytime he played the Bay Area, last time driving 275 miles to Santa Cruz in 2004. His incendiary, blues oriented psychadelic riffs always drove straight into my brain, taking it to another universe. A VERY strange, melodically intense universe indeed.
Thanks for the vid Stu!
Just a note; the video I posted seemed to stop for me here and there as it progresses along and I was able to get it going again by clicking on the progress bar tracking icon that will be all the way to the right. Some classic incendiary Frank jams are to be found in the "Who Do You Love" cover. The "bomb notes" in the tune "Electric Reflections of War" were copied by some (most notably Kirk Hemmet of Metallica) but NEVER duplicated. His haunting version of "Little Town in Bethlehem" is uniquely Frank. Man that guy could surely play and do killer versions of Hendrix riffs and jams too. Some were totally put off by that but personally, I loved it. Frank had his own style that many overlooked because of all the Hendrix wierdness. I had no problem with him taking a legend like Hendrix to another dimension and hearing it at full, concert level volume. I saw him do things on an SG that were simply jaw dropping unbelievable, insanely unhuman. The Red House clip you posted shows Frank in a more earthly state.
If he ever comes to a city near you, go see him. You too may be amazed beyond belief.
esarsea says:
Oh I've seen him. He took my senses apart – rearranged them – and gave them back. I was an involuntary mouth breather for the entire show, and was completely drained and emotionally spent when it was over.

Buyer surge in Denver for 2019, Are sellers ready? A perspective from Ryan Rose at Keller Williams Realty Downtown, LLC
As the short days of winter slowly lengthen home buyers are waking up from their winter hibernation and they have already start looking at properties. If you are a home owner considering putting your home on the market in 2019, have you put together a game plan that will net you the highest profit in the shortest amount of time? The Denver real estate market has many different facets. Listing a home under $400,000 requires a different approach to hit the market then a home listed over $750,000. You also have to consider the neighborhoods. Homes will sell faster in Reunion at a different time of year than a condo in LoDo or a horse property in Cherry Hills. It comes down to planning and working with someone who understands you customer. One of the largest mistakes sellers make is they wait until a home they would like to purchase to hit the market before they consider putting their home on the market. At a bare minimum you should have a listing agreement signed 30 days prior to putting your home on the market. You should have a strategy in place with rent backs and contingent offers to secure you a simple transition into your new home.

- Teaching is a very rich job. As a professor, my job isn't just restricted to "teaching". There's an array of things I've to take care of, like, counselling, research, training, publishing, consultancy etc., which is extremely fulfilling.
- If you want to do well as a Professor, I strongly recommend that you pursue your Ph.D. from a good university outside India. Since this degree is losing its value rapidly, doing it from India won't hold much value as compared to studying from abroad.
- Even though there's a work-life equilibrium if one opts for this profession, there's not as much financial growth as compared to the corporate world.
- As a professor, you ought to keep yourself updated, read up plenty, publish continuously, carry out ample research, etc.
- Income as a professor is 5 to 10 times less than your counterparts in the corporate world.
Where were you born and raised?
I was born in Kumta, a small village situated in Karnataka. A few days after my birth, however, my family and I returned to Mumbai where I completed my schooling, pursued my graduation, post-graduation as well as my PhD. I've established a career here too.
What is your family background like and who would you say, had a remarkable influence on you growing up and how?
We were a family of four, my parents, an elder brother and me. My mother was a scientist and my father, a sales supervisor working with a car company.
I'd describe my family atmosphere as a concoction of democratic and authoritative, a perfect balance, really.
Both, my mom and dad had a strong influence on me growing up. They were both pretty content with the way things had unfolded in our lives and tried to find a glimpse of happiness in every situation that we'd ever encountered.
Please give me a summary of your career
After pursuing my Master's in Management Studies {MBA} from NMIMS, I was selected to work with "Brooke Bond" from our campus itself. As a management trainee, I was sent to different parts of the country to familiarise myself with various aspects of the business whether it was administration, sales, marketing, operations. It involved visiting numerous factories and branch offices.
After this, I was asked to launch a new coffee brand that Brooke Bond had come up with.
Next, I started working with "Marico" as a brand manager for about one year.
Since I was married by then, I had to take a career break of five years during which I taught music to people coming from different walks of life, including a few film stars too!
Because I'd done my MBA previously, I decided to start teaching MBA students at NMIMS, which is my current profession.
Which institutes, according to you, are the best for pursuing this career?
I'd recommend going abroad to pursue your PhD if you want to become a professor. The value of this degree is diminishing, hence, securing a degree from here doesn't hold much significance. But if you go abroad, it'll benefit you more, comparatively.
Some great universities are London School of Economics and SOAS University of London, in my opinion.
Pursuing your PhD from India doesn't make much sense, really. If you were planning on securing this degree 10–15 years back in India, you'd get a job almost immediately. Unfortunately, since then the entire value of this degree is decreasing, pursuing it from abroad increases your chances of becoming a professor at a commendable institution.
What is the expenditure associated with the education/training of this profession, approximately?
First of all, to be able to teach in an MBA college like me, you yourself should've pursued this degree. If you're pursuing your MBA from a renowned institution, you'll probably spend about 18 lakhs collectively.
Along with that, you'll have to take into consideration the opportunity cost of leaving your job or studying in a different city/country altogether. So, with all of these factors in mind, you'll incur an expenditure of about 30 lakhs.
After this, you have to pursue your PhD which will cost you about INR 60,000–70,000 per year. The course may take four or more than four years to complete, so the expenditure varies from person to person too.
If you're securing your PhD from abroad, like I'd recommended, you'll have to take into consideration the lodging and boarding expenditures.
Also, in that case, try getting into one of the universities on the basis of a scholarship since the fee structures abroad are incredulous.
How does one manage to enter this field?
After pursuing your MBA from a particular college, you have to apply to universities offering the PhD degree. Every university has certain seats reserved for students who want to pursue this degree. When you apply for a particular seat, you're required to undergo an exam. If you successfully crack this exam, you'll be called for an interview. If you're selected, you'll officially become a PhD student of that university. Following this, you'll be assigned a guide who'll help you with every step in the PhD process.
A PhD usually takes 4 years to complete. Sometimes, it can go up to 7 years too. However, after 7 years, your PhD degree is nullified, and you're expected to apply all over again.
Once you've secured your PhD, you can apply to various universities to teach at.
What is the range of remuneration one can expect when starting out in your line of career & industry?
Starting out – 60,000–90,000 INR per annum
5 years of experience – 1.5 lakhs INR per annum
10 years of experience – 4 lakhs INR per annum
15 years of experience – 5 lakhs INR per annum
20+ years of experience – 6–7 lakhs INR per annum
The income I earn is more or less the same for every other person in my profession since most of the colleges choose to follow the UGC norms in terms of payment.
Describe your work, please.
I usually take morning lectures that last for an hour and a half.
Apart from teaching, my important responsibilities include research and publication. We have four evaluation patterns within a trimester, hence I've to attend to projects, supervise, grade papers, etc.
I also have to attend innumerable meetings where we discuss ample things like how to take a particular project forward, what courses to introduce, etc.
I also have to read up a lot. One course of MBA lasts for 30 hours, so I'm required to read three times more than this, that is, for every hour, I've to read three hours!
I also counsel many of my students informally on the basis of their career choices.
During their summers, I advise students on how to go about their summer projects, too.
I spend about 5–6 hours at the university and work from Monday to Friday.
In your opinion, what are some benefits that would encourage an individual to consider this career/job?
Teaching demands less work hours as compared to the corporate world, hence I'm able to give enough time to my family and myself.
Also, teaching allows me to pursue my passion from an array of things such as counselling, research, training, consultancy, publishing etc.
One thing I love the most about this profession is the fact that I'm always surrounded by students! Not only does it make me feel young too, but it keeps me on my toes since questions are always rolling in from all directions.
Can you mention a few challenges that you would want someone to be aware of, if they're considering this career/job course?
One setback about this profession is the fact that the amount of money I earn is very less as compared to the corporate world which pays about 5–10 times more.
Life as a professor is becoming gruelling since the pressure on us is increasing rapidly.
Also, there's always the pressure to keep yourself updated, to pursue your PhD, to publish, to make sure your feedback is up to the standard, etc., which becomes taxing after a certain amount of time.
What are some relevant trends/skills/technologies that are currently commanding a premium in your job profile?
I think social media marketing is a crucial factor when it comes to this profession.
Even data analytics is important. In my field, we have to play around with and understand customer data, customer relationship management, etc. So, such knowledge is required.
Knowing how to publish is also extremely challenging, so it's important to transit from a stage of not being able to publish to actually publishing.
What kind of a person, do you think, would be content in this field?
Since teaching comes with its own challenges, it's important for a person to be passionate about this profession.
In my opinion, a person who loves reading, publishing their work, and imparting knowledge would be undoubtedly content in this field.
If you're not looking for fast track growth, this field is ideal for you. Growth in this field, in terms of income and your position is gradual, so if these facts don't bother you, I'd suggest you go for it!
Given another choice, what would you do differently as far as your professional selections are concerned?
I wouldn't want to change my profession for anything else. I'm pretty content with the way things are unravelling for now. The only thing I wish I could change is the amount of time it took me to complete my PhD. Things went wrong in between which is why my degree kind of prolonged. If I'd finished my PhD on time, I think I would've enjoyed the benefits of my hard work, however, as I'd mentioned, the value of a PhD degree is diminishing. It's more of a compulsion now.
As far as my profession is concerned, I wouldn't want to alter anything.
What advice would you offer to students or professionals who are just starting their journey on a path similar to yours?
I'd advise you to pursue your PhD from abroad since Indian PhD's don't hold much value.
Look for opportunities to publish in some top journals which again, you should do abroad since the environment there is more conducive to publishing.
Overall, choose your career path wisely.

Via Haaretz:
The Hungarians were and still are anti-Semitic. It's not pleasant. I've lived there for 15 years, but it's only in the past two years that I've started to feel it, and it's starting to bother me. There's a word in Hungarian, zsidiozm, that's said about someone or something Jewish. For the Hungarians it's a curse word. Like "nigger." I'm a makeup artist at a club, and once a few girls who worked with me came and asked whether I would do them. A guy at the club said, "Probably their Jew-boss was too tightfisted to pay for their makeup" – using that derogatory word. I cringed. didn't react at that moment, but afterward I thought that there were so many things I could have said. It's possible that if I'd told him I myself was Jewish he would have been embarrassed, but there was no longer any point. I'm not sure it was really spoken as an insult ... but they don't really know who or what a Jew is, it's just something they hear.read more

I wanted to pass on how utterly impressed I was with the service I received. As a woman on her own it is often nerve-wracking taking care of car issues.
But from the moment I arrived, the two staff I dealt with put me at ease, didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need and were very helpful. Please pass on my email to your management as it's very rare these days to get such exceptional service.

Recognizing that your building is a possible target is the first step toward shoring
up your security against a potential mass
shooting. The second step, of course, is
hardening your building.
New technologies are supplementing
tried-and-true security strategies to deter
potential mass shooters, delay them from
reaching would-be victims and reduce the
amount of harm they can do, potentially
buying valuable seconds and minutes
for emergency responders to get to the
scene. Review your security practices and
see where you can make updates – if the
worst happens, strengthening your facility
could save lives.
Every building needs to cover its
bases in three key areas: access control,
intruder detection and mass notification, explains Tom Komola, a security
expert for Siemens and former MIT
Security Manager and Massachusetts
Bay Transportation Authority Security
Access control should include programmable key card access at every
door, especially for a school, where
keeping an intruder from forcibly entering a classroom could save many lives
and buy time.
Intruder detection is linked to the
access control system. "The card reader
should also know if the door is open and
whether it has been opened legitimately
or forced," Komola explains.
Mass notification requires not only a
functioning notification system covering
multiple channels, but also a team that's
familiar with it and comfortable repro-gramming it on the fly, Komola says.
"Not unlike a fire alarm, a mass notifi-cation system should have the ability todirectly alert the police department andnotify them that there's an issue, in addi-tion to the administration and the princi-pal," Komola says. "You also want peopleto be trained on it, because if you onlytrain one person and then that personis out sick or at lunch or gunned downin the hall, someone else should havethe skill level to make it function properly.
"You have to explain to the administration, staff and faculty that there's an
expectation by employees and parents that
we're going to do our very best to make
the school a safe environment for work
and learning. They all have to be part of it,"
Komola says. "That message needs to come
down from the C-suite or the administration to indicate that what we're trying to
accomplish is important to them and that
they have expectations that you'll help them
make the environment safe and secure. We
can put bars and locks on the doors and
bars on the windows, but if the back door is
propped open for a delivery to the cafeteria
or the front door isn't locked for some reason, it negates all of the training and prac-
In recent years, newer security technologies have made it possible to respond
faster and warn people sooner during a
shooting. Analytic video surveillance is "a
proactive approach to security in that the
camera streams and analyzes data in real-time," explains Komola. "If an individual
shows unusual habits – let's say an individual
continues to circle a school in their car or
someone shows up at a playground every
day for a week – the technology will alert
officials to this. It picks up habits that a
human surveillance may miss."
Shooter detection recognizes when shotsare fired by looking for flashes of light pairedwith gunshot sounds. "They can notify any-one in the mass notification, card access oralarm system that shots have been fired,"Komola says. "Time is of the essence, and thistechnology is growing rapidly."Does your building need new technologieslike this? A good place to start is examiningentryways, Komola recommends. "How easyis it for unwanted individuals to gain access?"Komola says. "Are there entryways whereit's easy for someone to slip in unnoticed?Beyond those quick assessments, I'd recom-mend that most facilities managers get intouch with local law enforcement. They knowthe vulnerabilities as well as anybody, andmore often than not, they're happy to comein and help you out because they want to be

Hmm, this looks like exactly the same error as was reported here: http://gatkforums.broadinstitute.org/discussion/2013/missing-programelementdoc Same version, same error message. Are you by any chance running OpenJDK as well (check the output of "java -version")?
ramma Member ✭
I just got this same error with RNA-seq samples using OpenJDK. I am running the RealignerTargetCreator as opposed to the BaseRecalibrator though.
If I get time I'll test with Sun Java instead. I'm also running GATK on an Ubuntu 12.04 server if that matters.
Geraldine_VdAuwera Cambridge, MAMember, Administrator, Broadie admin
Hey folks, the 'ProgramElementDoc' part of the error seems to be due to a bug in pulling out the exception details. The actual error varies from case to case. We'll fix this in the next release, but in the meantime if you get one of these, please post the entire stack trace so we can help you diagnose the problem.
This should be fixed in the latest GATK release (2.3-5) -- if those experiencing this problem could try out that version and let us know whether the issue is resolved, it would be helpful.
I take it back -- after reviewing the 2.3-5 patch, I think the issue is likely not resolved after all. We'll probably push out another patch shortly to fix the "ProgramElementDoc" issue.
The ProgramElementDoc issue should be fixed in version 2.3-6, which should be released in a few hours.
I am facing the same error with the 2.5.2 version:

I can confirm that this is a regression in GATK 2.5-2. I'll file a bug report, and we should have this fixed in time for the 2.6 release (or an upcoming nightly build, if you don't want to wait that long).
Alright droazen...Thanks
