Bruce Irvin going home — to Atlanta, not the Seahawks
Bruce Irvin is going to back to where he started.
That's not going to be where his NFL career started, however.
O'Neil: 3 things we're still trying to figure out about the Seahawks
Irvin, who is from Georgia, will play for Atlanta, his hometown franchise. The deal was first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter and later confirmed by the team. He is expected to play for the Falcons Sunday against Cleveland.
Irvin said that he could have been paid more money by going to Pittsburgh or by New England when he spoke to Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. The Seahawks were thought to be a consideration for Irvin because he played four years for the Seahawks, who chose him in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
It wasn't just that history, but the fact that Seattle hired Ken Norton to be the defensive coordinator last offseason. Norton coached the Seahawks' linebackers when Irvin was in Seattle, and he served as the Raiders' defensive coordinator when Irvin signed there as a free agent in 2016.
Seattle has 21 sacks through the first eight games, which ranks in the middle third of the league, so it could used Irvin's pass-rushing ability. Frank Clark leads the team with 7.5 sacks and defensive tackle Jarran Reed has five sacks. Atlanta, meanwhile, has 17 sacks this season, tied for fifth-fewest in the league.
Irvin played the past two and a half seasons with the Raiders before he was waived after the Raiders' Thursday night loss to San Francisco, a game in which Irvin played all of nine snaps.

Its about time we ran our first tournament.
Bench Tournament, Easter Sunday. Be there 2pm sharp.
A "bench" is polo played in a similar manner to other goalsports. Gameplay is virtually the same except games are timed and have no goal limit.
Teams will be selected on the day and remain the same for the whole tournament.
Teams will have somewhere between 5 and 8 members (may revise this depending on who turns up).
3 members from each side start the game with the rest of the team on the bench.
You can sub on and off at anytime as long as there are a maximum three members on the court.
New rule: If a player scores a goal then they must sub off. (this rule designed to stop one player dominating on a court with multiple skill levels).
Games will be two 15 -20minute halves.
Each team will play each other team once.
Teams will be ranked on goals scored/conceded.
The two top teams will playoff in a final match for the Holy Grail of Bikepolo and a slab of piss.
There may be other prizes too
Pick-up matches afterwards if there is enough light/personal energy
See you on Sunday, nice and early, rain, hail or shine.

Happy Birthday To Me!
I turn 44 today.
This marks the 30th year in Canada for me.
I woke up reflecting about this incredible country we live in. Bringing us to Canada is the GREATEST gift my parents gave me.
There is nothing easy about being an immigrant. Especially when you had left India at age 4 and then Singapore at 14. The moves break any continuity you build and you certainly don't make any life-long friends during these days. While weren't poor, nothing was easy.
When we arrived in Scarborough, it was Jan 1989. I fell in love immediately with the people, the hustle and the diversity I saw. I found a new purpose and renewed love of life. Over the 30 years, I have made amazing friends, built 3 wonderful businesses, had the pleasure of hiring 100+ staff, built desiFEST, Canada largest South Asian music festival, married the love of my life and have 2 amazing kids.
I am thankful for everyone in my life and I am thankful I get to wake up in this amazing country and .. yes, happy birthday indeed!
– with love!

Did you earn that pile of money? Or was it a lucky circumstance ? Maybe the work of another? If you lost that pile of money due to spending or a bad investment was it due to poor decisions YOU made, or was it just bad luck and possibly someone else's fault? Have you ever thought about how you think about these things?
Rory here… It's time I drop a little psychobabble here. In my line of work I often see the replication of human behavior across all spectrums of the human experience… including finances. For those interested I will explain what the mechanism of a "disorder" looks like when someone cannot take responsibility for their lives. (including financial) So, yes… I'm "diagnosing" some of what I see and hear in terms of people's "disordered" finances.
Who holds the keys to your success?
Have you ever stopped to think about when something goes wrong for someone, they respond to the situation in one of two distinctively different ways? There are people who find fault in their environment for the reasons for outcomes, and people who look within to find the reasons.
"Locus of Control" What does this even mean?
Locus is a Latin word meaning a particular location, point, or place.
Control is the where the power is given for a particular set of events.
Locus of Control effectively means where a person places the "point of control", be that on their own shoulders, or that of something or someone else in their environment, whether it be a good outcome or a bad one.
Internal vs. External
When we discuss the locus of control in psychological terms, we are typically referring to whether an individual tends to place the "blame" or "credit" for the things that happen to them outside of their control, or within it. In the 10+ years of life skills counseling and psychiatric care that I have been exposed to (and law enforcement) I have come to notice that there are two distinctly different ways people process the outcomes in their life. They either take ownership of a decision they made, a level of effort, or their quality of work as the main reason for an outcome, or they feel as though the primary factors associated with the outcome exist outside of their own control. The interesting thing about learning about, and discussing locus of control, is that you begin to see this in all aspects of someone's life when you see it for what it is.
Internal Locus of Control
When a person has a locus of control heavily weighted to the "internal" side they tend to take personal responsibility for the outcomes in their life. They make statements like "I really should have spent more time on that study sheet" or "I'll do better next time". They make it clear THEY are responsible for the outcome and often intend to do better in that area after they identify what THEY did wrong or could have done differently. What's wrong with that, right? It sounds like they're an outstanding member of society and probably constantly improve all aspects of their life, right? Well, the answer isn't so easy. Just like most things in Psychology, there is a fine line between healthy and unhealthy, and if you find yourself overly internal in your locus of control, you will soon feel the weight of the world on your shoulders. "I'm so stupid, I can't believe I would let that happen" and "I never get anything right" are statements that they are known to make when their perception becomes skewed towards an internal locus of control regardless of the circumstance. The fact is there ARE situations that are outside of our control and it is possible a person can become so invested in the concept that they control every situation that they begin to beat themselves up over things they truly have no control over, anxiety and depression then seep into their daily existence.
External Locus of Control
When a person has an "External" locus of control, they tend to place the responsibility of outcomes outside of themselves. They often will name an individual, circumstance, or environmental factor responsible for the outcome instead of themselves. You can see where this is going for unhealthy thought processes in both directions. "That school is stupid… The only reason I failed my classes is because the parking there is terrible, which led to me being late for school every day, which led to my professors not understanding my situation and them not passing me" (a statement I've heard before) or "The team did really good, but it really had nothing to do with me, I'm the weakest link and they all just carry my weight". The problem with a heavily weighted external locus of control, is that the individual rarely takes responsibility for anything (good or bad) therefore don't have the motivation to change anything they are doing. If you think about it, what is the point of changing YOUR behavior/actions when EVERYONE else, or EVERYTHING else is the REAL reason for the problem to begin with… That's just plain stupid! Of course, most of the time EVERYONE around them completely disagrees with where the point of control actually lies. Just think of how that plays out when it comes to financial responsibility, income, expenses, and investments!
Know Yourself
So how does all this translate into the formation of healthy behavior and thought? It's simple. Knowledge is power. I like that saying. I would put a twist on it though. Knowledge is great, but if you imagine that knowledge is all locked up in the pages of a book, and you can't read the book because your vision is blurry, then what good is it? The problem with locus of control is that we have extreme difficulty objectively viewing our own lives and our approach to it. We must change the lenses through which we view life in order to see it more clearly, and to do so we must often lean heavily on the input of others. My advice is to take a step back, and listen to your environment and those around you. If you tune in, the environment and people in it are more than happy to reveal to you how off base your own thoughts are on the topic of internal and external locus of control. When people make statements like "You beat yourself up too much, that's not your fault" or "This seems to be completely your fault, why don't you change what you're doing" you should probably listen… They're probably more right than you know!

Does Bill Kristol Want Hillary in the White House?By politicalderby
Filed Under Latest News, Race for White House 2016 on Jun 2
Bill Kristol insists his independent, third-party candidate – for now possibly David French, a constitutional lawyer, decorated Iraq veteran, and a writer for the National Review – is in it to win. That is, by denying both Hillary and Trump the new magic number of 270 electoral votes, The House of Representatives will then decide the winner.
As Byron York's analysis in the Washington Examiner of this fantastical option clearly shows, it can't work. Even assuming that somehow a political unknown like David French can somehow grab say Utah's handful of electoral votes, it still won't work, given the House rules regarding how a presidential election is decided by the House.
This means that the true goal of a third-party conservative candidate is to deny Trump victory. With no hope of gaining a victory for the conservative candidate himself (or herself … you never know). Which means handing the 2016 presidential election to Hillary Clinton. It's the only realistic outcome, out of all the improbable scenarios that any conservative third-party candidacy might proclaim. Just pick off a few percentages from Trump in a few key states, and he loses in a tight race with Clinton.
Kristol can't and won't say this. But what this means – assuming this is his real motive – is that Trump's foreign policy risks deviating further from the neo-con ideal, that Kristol helped create in the political and intellectual world back a decade or two, than Hillary Clinton's foreign policy would.
Hence the righteously angry denunciations and comparisons that ranged from Lindbergh's America First speech right to Hitler himself. With stops along the way in Louisiana (Huey Long) and Italy (Mussollinig and why not: Berlusconi). And Argentina as well of course. Although Trumpista as a label seems to have lost out to Trumpkins. It all fits together, because if you believe that radical Islam and it's terrorism-spewing, crazed insurgents are somehow fascists, then anyone in the White House who might distance America from Middle Eastern conflicts must be a fascist.
And even Trump has toughened his stance on ISIS, for example, perhaps in response. But Kristol and other neo-con's cannot be sure of Trump's foreign policy goals the way they can be sure of Hillary Clinton's foreign policy framework. Both because of Trump's broad strokes and lack of detail. And because he's still trying to work it all out with his advisors, obviously. But they know they will not be part of the decision making process under a Trump presidency.
Fascism was and is an evil and dangerous philosophy. But fascism fought it's wars in fairly conventional ways. And lost them all – aside from Franco's Civil War: and it can be argued that Franco used the Falange but was not shaped by them – in fairly conventional military defeats to Allied forces. Islamic terrorism is in fact closer to communist insurgency movements, and some have suggested that the Cold War is a better analogy. But even this analogy does not capture the fanaticism and suicidal bent, along with the brutal criminality, that is so particular to islamic terrorists. Perhaps Kampuchea/Cambodia does.
Clearly Middle Eastern policy is not working. Partly as a result of Obama's refusal to call terrorism terrorism, and act on it. But also because of the fatal optimism that the region could somehow be democratized, like Eastern Europe, or like post-war Germany and Japan. It clearly can't. And it's time for Kristol to admit he may have been mistaken. And to let his third-party candidate scheme dissolve away over the next few weeks. A Hillary presidency is a bad way to prove a mistaken point.

Another necessary aspect of your future realty relationship is communication. Make sure your potential agents each have a plan for keeping you informed. Knowing what is going on during your search for a home and a subsequent transaction is of the highest importance.
If you plans have been derailed and you haven't begun to do things differently, maybe that's part of the problem. The time for rerouting is now, especially if you desire a lucrative income and a secure financial future.
The Norway real estate market has surged ahead by 9% in the second quarter of 2010 according to the latest statistics that have been revealed by the country. The housing market and the Norway real estate forsake have actually performed well through 2009. Corresponding to the fall in the prices in international real estate government, the prices for Norway real estate listings also fell during mid 2007 – 2008. The Norway real estate sale prices for row houses has increased at the rate of 10%, detached houses at 9.2% and the multi dwelling houses rose by 8%. All rates are YOY basis.
The housing statistics that we read and hear about are national figures that are based on averages and other such formulations from governments, real estate associations, and other polling groups that fail to take smaller regions into consideration. It's the same with mortgage figures. The numbers are based on a large pool of national data.
Investors that are looking for international rentals for investing in Denmark will be disappointed as of now. The Rental yields are in the range of about 6%, which is quite a low return. As the housing industry comes out of its slump, the rental yields will also increase.
Use Social networking – Today everyone is involved with social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. You can use these sites to advertise your desire to buy a home. When you post the advertisement on Facebook, for example, your friends will receive a notification which they can review. The more friends you have, the more people you will reach.
Eliminate all clutter! Empty out all closets. Start packing. Use a corner of the basement to organize the things you can pack up now, before showings begin. Make certain to NOT pile boxes around the foundation walls. Buyers want to see what the walls look like. I don't have an issue with putting boxes in the middle of the basement – you have to put them somewhere!

Richmond, California (EastBayDaily) — With the release on May 17 of "The Music of Randy Newman," her debut CD for Motéma Music, Roseanna Vitro stakes a claim as the first jazz vocalist to explore the richly melodic, sharply observant Randy Newman songbook. Having previously covered the music of American icons Ray Charles and Bill Evans in acclaimed album-length projects, Vitro relished the challenge of selecting material from Newman's vast catalog.
"What I love about Randy Newman is his ability to tell a story, and the fact that his music is Southern-flavored with a real taste of New Orleans," says Vitro, an Arkansas native who cut her musical teeth in Texas. "It provides me with a rare opportunity to delve deep into my roots. I felt so at home singing his songs, I could make three albums of his music."
Working closely with veteran pianist and longtime collaborator Mark Soskin, Vitro infuses Newman's songs with her soul-deep feel for blues and gospel. Vitro credits the concept to her husband, sound engineer and producer Paul Wickliffe, an idea planted by her yearning version of Newman's "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" on her 2006 album "Live at the Kennedy Center."
The project is very much a collaboration with a brilliant cast of musicians, including Mark Soskin, whose long history with Sonny Rollins and his band goes back to the 1970s and who currently teaches at the Manhattan School of Music; rising violin star Sara Caswell, heard recently with Esperanza Spalding's Chamber Music Society and Mark O'Connor's American String Celebration; percussion ace Jamey Haddad, currently with Paul Simon's band; guitarist Steve Cardenas, now touring with Ben Allison and Jenny Scheinman; and Vitro's working rhythm section of bassist Dean Johnson and drummer Tim Horner, both featured on "Live at the Kennedy Center."
For the new CD, Vitro and Soskin developed arrangements that flow from the contours of Newman's incisive lyrics and the implied orchestrations of his piano playing. The disc opens with "Last Night I Had a Dream," in a propulsive Latin groove, and also includes Vitro's highly personal takes on "Sail Away," "Baltimore," "I Will Go Sailing No More," and Newman's 2002 Oscar winner "If I Didn't Have You," recast as a bossa nova.
Although Newman's work as a film composer goes back several decades (he received two Academy Award nominations for "Ragtime" in 1981)—contemporaneous with his career as recording artist—in recent years he's emerged as Hollywood's favorite tunesmith. His music has played an essential role in more than a dozen hit films, including "The Natural," "Meet the Parents," and the "Toy Story" trilogy.
The fact that Newman's music is so well suited for movies is just possibly genetic. Three of his uncles—nine-time Oscar winners Alfred Newman, Lionel Newman, and Emil Newman—were esteemed Hollywood composers, and today his nephew Joey Newman and cousins Thomas Montgomery Newman and David Newman are successful film and television composers.
"If you look at the American Songbook," says Vitro, "most of that work was created for film and theater. Randy Newman is actually expanding the definition of the American Songbook."
Roseanna Vitro and the RNP Band (Randy Newman Project) have scheduled the following shows in support of the new CD: 5/26 Blues Alley, Washington, DC; 5/27 An Die Musik Live, Baltimore; 6/10-11 Cezanne's, Houston (with Soskin, Caswell, local bass/drums); 6/13 Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, NYC; 6/16 Mt. Vernon Country Club Concert Series (two shows), Golden, CO. West Coast dates are in the works for September.
"Randy's stories have touched me for a long time," says Vitro, "and hopefully, as I sing these songs, my listeners will find something that touches them as well."

Health Tips » Health Tips page 2 » The Real Value of Healthy and Nice-Looking Teeth
Author: Dr. Michael Letham | September 26th, 2018
Other than the captivating radiance of a perfect smile, a complete set of healthy teeth has more to offer. People, of course, love straight, perfect teeth. What they don't realize is that aside from being better-looking, healthy teeth hold many benefits that go beyond simple aesthetics.
This is why vanity shouldn't be your only reason for taking care of your dental health. Take the opportunity to reap the following benefits by giving extra attention to the health of your teeth and gums:
When it comes to oral health, prevention costs much less than dealing with a major dental problem. Prevention entails daily participation on your part to care for your teeth and gums. Furthermore, it requires your commitment to visit your dentist on a regular basis which, in most cases, happens only twice a year.
Being consistent with your dental visits allows your dentist to do a complete oral examination and screening every time. Your dentist will be looking for any signs of immediate dental issues as well as clues indicating future problems. This way, your dentist can make the best recommendations for treatment to prevent dental problems from becoming worse.
The cost of complicated or serious dental procedures is usually quite significant. This is why maintaining optimum dental health is of prime importance to save money and avoid breaking the bank.
When faced with a serious dental health condition, book an emergency dental treatment immediately to address it before it becomes much worse.
Having good oral health can prevent and reduce the risk of you ever getting oral cancer.
People who chew tobacco, smoke, and drink excessively are at a higher risk of this dental disease. But when you have good dental habits and don't skip regular check-ups, oral cancer won't be something you'll need to worry about.
Keeping to your dental appointments also means you can get oral cancer screening whenever you want.
Teeth suffering from cavities will often require tooth fillings. Cavities are the holes in your teeth and are the leading causes of toothaches. This is due to plaque clinging to your teeth and dissolving enamel, thereby creating holes in them.
Plaque can be easily removed through brushing which is why practicing daily oral care habits to prevent cavities and plaque build-up is essential.
When you have crooked teeth, you can suffer from speech impediments such as lisping and the inability to pronounce some words.
Speech impediments are usually caused by gaps between teeth where air can unintentionally pass through, or by misaligned teeth which prevent your tongue from producing the right sounds.
Specific orthodontic treatments can address certain speech impediments. When you have healthy teeth, better speech is also a lovely complement to a beautiful smile.
More than just straining your teeth, a bad bite also stresses out the joints of your jaw. When the temporomandibular joints that connect the jaw to your skull are irritated by the strain of crooked teeth, you will experience jaw pain, ear aches, headaches and dizziness. Crooked teeth are at a huge risk for tooth grinding which is one of the causes of persistent headaches.
When you sleep, your jaw will normally want your teeth to be aligned and look for the most comfortable resting position. If you usually wake up with a headache in the morning, then it's likely that tooth grinding is the cause. This causes the muscles at the top of your jaw to become sore and tender thereby leading to headaches.
Your dentist will be able to recommend a dental tool you can wear at night to help manage tooth grinding. With straight teeth, you can get an aligned bite – reducing the possibility of tooth grinding at night.
The best functional aspect of having healthy teeth is that you can chew food and digest it properly. When you can eat normally, you don't just consume soft foods like porridge but have the freedom to enjoy any type of food you want – the sky's the limit.
Although you can eat anything you want with a complete set of teeth, try limiting your consumption of the foods below:
Sour candies
Carbonated drinks
Potato chips
Ice, hard candy
The first four items on the above list are among the most common culprits causing plaque and weakening your tooth enamel, while biting into ice and hard candy can cause tooth injury. So every time you eat, think twice about the food that you put in your mouth to avoid losing any of your teeth and ruining your dental health.
Remember that even a single missing tooth can affect your eating habits. This is because your remaining teeth will pick up the slack of the missing one. The increase in the wear and tear of your remaining teeth will also heighten the risk of losing the rest, too.
Gum disease will make it harder for you to control blood glucose.
The relationship between diabetes and serious gum disease is a two-way street. Not only are individuals with diabetes more vulnerable to gum disease, serious gum disease also has the potential to progress diabetes and affect blood glucose control.
Fresh breath is hard to come by especially if you have cavities and are developing gum disease.
Harmful bacteria proliferating in the mouth is the leading cause of bad breath. By treating decay or infection and maintaining good dental health, you can take confidence in having fresher breath all the time.
The first step stage of gum disease is gingivitis which is also known as the inflammation of the gums. This is often caused by plaque build-up around your teeth which then leads to the bleeding or swelling of gums.
Plaque is a combination of food and bacteria. When you faithfully adhere to proper dental care habits, you can prevent gum disease from happening and continue enjoying a healthy smile.
Persons with chronic gum conditions like advanced periodontal disease and gingivitis are also at a high risk for heart disease.
Dental health and heart disease are connected by the spread of germs and other harmful bacteria — from the mouth to other parts of the body through the bloodstream. Once these bacteria reach your heart, they can bind themselves to any damaged or weakened tissue and cause inflammation.
Many cardiovascular conditions have been linked to the inflammation caused by oral bacteria. However, with adequate oral hygiene and giving your teeth and gums the TLC they need, you can avoid such serious health conditions.
Keep in mind that your mouth is the gateway to your overall health, so whatever you do to it will reflect on your body.
When your teeth and gums are fully functional and in great shape, you don't just improve your appearance but also enjoy the benefits of good dental health.
Wanting your smile to look good is only natural.

We have a laptop here that's completely fubar. I.e: The hard drive is filled to the brim with bad sectors. Luckily, backups have been made using the built-in Windows 7 backup feature. This produces folders named
Backup Set 2012-11-09 003009, containing folders like
Backup Files 2012-11-09 003009, containing zip-files like
Backup files 1, 2, 3,...
Our brand new laptop comes with Windows 8. Now: Can we, using the standard back-up and restore feature in Windows 8, restore all the documents, music, etc. using the Windows 7 backup files? Thanks.
(FYI: We also took a normal backup of all the documents just to be sure of course. I'm just curious what would happen. I would test it out, but the new laptop hasn't arrived yet and I wanted to make sure my efforts would not be in vain.)

The last remaining original character from the first season of Law and Order SVU, Lieutenant Olivia Benson has featured in all 19 seasons of the show. She's risen through the ranks to become the commanding officer of the NYPD's Special Victims Unit.
A child born of rape, Olivia was raised by an alcoholic, abusive mother which gives her the ability to sympathise deeply with the victims of sex crimes. It's both a plus and a minus in her job, and it's put her in serious danger on more than one occasion. She's affected deeply when a victim lies to her.
Her compassion for women has sometimes clouded her judgement. She's skeptical when it comes to women perpetrators and male victims, and she was once so convinced of a man's guilt that she forced his confession to a crime he was innocent of.
One of Benson's finest moments was escaping from serial killer William Lewis who kidnapped her and held her for days as his sex slave, proving herself to be a total badass.

Friendship and wine in Barolo's Castello Falletti
In 1830, the Marquis Falletti of Barolo welcomed in his castle, in the province of Cuneo, Italian writer Silvio Pellico (1789-1854), best known for his "My Prinsons" – a memoir about his time in Venice's Piombi and Brno's Spielberg, where he was imprisoned for ten years for his involvement with the Austrian Carbonari revolutionaries.
In another essay, "The Duties of Men", Pellico wrote: "[D]o not be too anxious to have friends. It is better not to acquire them than to repent of having entered into such a connection with too great precipitation. When once, however, you have found one, seek to evince your sense of his worth by every mark of elevated friendship."
True to his own maxims, he certainly cherished his friendship with Juliette Colbert, the last marchioness Falletti, who offered him shelter after his long years in jail.
The Piedmontese writer became her trusted advisor, and she entrusted him with the management of the castle's vast library, including 3,000 volumes from the 1400s to the 1800s.
We can imagine those were happy years for Pellico, perhaps made more pleasant by the warm companionship of some great wine from the castle's well-stocked cellars. Today Castello Falletti is home to the Enoteca Regionale del Barolo and to the Wimu – Wine Museum.

Removal of Luxury Taxes on Feminine Hygiene Products
This petition had 49 supporters
In the United States, there is currently a nationwide (with the exception of a few states) luxury tax on feminine hygiene products.
Having a tax on a basic necessity magnifies the gender injustice in America. Throughout history women have been shamed if they speak openly about their menstrual cycles and the struggles that may go with them and because of that, women have never been able fully dispute these bloody tax crimes against them.
Sophie Liley, an advocate for women in Perth, Australia, perfectly stated, "Putting a tax on products women need as a direct consequence of their biology is fundamentally sexist."
It is already financially damaging to women to have to pay for these items per month; it is especially devastating to women in low income areas. "Our government is imposing a charge exclusively on women by forcing them to pay extra for the 'privilege' of a health necessity," said Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang. "And for many low-income communities it is difficult to access hygiene products. This form of regulatory discrimination should end."
The price women pay per month does not stop at feminine hygiene products. Many women face severe pain due to cramps or other significant diagnoses, such as endometriosis, and because of these difficulties, women have to pay additional costs for medicines to subdue the pains associated with their menstrual cycles. Removing the "luxury" tax is beneficial to the pocketbook.
Rise to the occasion and make yourself be heard! It is time for this atrocity to end!
Let's go out there and make a difference!

Both – Theo Mio and Tenute Silvio Nardi – are perfectly matched for a promising night in Bangkok.
Theo Mio, Italian restaurant at InterContinetal Bangkok, will be hosting the promising wine dinner to celebrate Tenute Silvio Nardi winery's most celebrated wines on October 22.
To mark the Tenute Silvio Nardi's most renowned wines, the gastronomic evening will see the guests feast on a sumptuous five-course dinner specially created by Chef Chris Beverley, and paired with carefully selected vintages straight from the brand's 36 Italian vineyards. To complete the experience, guests will get the opportunity to chat with the owner of the winery, Emilia Nardi, to learn more about the vintages.
"It's going to be an amazing evening," says Chef Chris. "The Tenute Silvio Nardi label reflects the purity of the region in Italy, and the dishes have been chosen to create a harmonious series of tastes, textures and flavors."
To be held at InterContinental Bangkok's Theo Mio, the wine dinner (Bt1,800++/per person) will start with a delicious chicken liver crostini with mushroom arancini and ribollita, coupled with Tuscan vegetable soup. This will be complemented by the evening's first vintage, the Prosecco Bottega DOC, an intense, dry sparkling wine.
A Tuscan Salumi platter follows, paired with a Turan Sant' Antimo Rosso 2013, a well balanced clean, complex and spicy vintage, enriched by mature red fruit. Up next, especially for pasta fans is the quail tortellini with rosemary brown butter, made all the more delicious with a glass of glorious fresh Rosso di Montalcino 2013. Continuing with the more satisfying dishes is the succulent ox cheek, braised in Tuscan red wine with soft polenta, carrot and salsa verde. Accompanying this is one of Italy's best known and most expensive wines, and the first winner of the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita award, the Brunello di Montalcino 2010.
The meal ends on a sweet, light note with a sumptuous panacotta with Marsala-roasted guava, served with a selection of the luxurious Bottega Liqueurs – a great ending to this evening of distinction.
Theo Mio restaurant is located on the ground level of InterContinental Bangkok. This Italian restaurant opened in August by Theo Randall – English-born professional chef who specialises in Italian cuisine.
The vineyards of Tenute Silvio Nardi extend east and west of Montalcino in a primarily hilly area in Tuscany, Italy.
Both – Theo Mio and Tenute Silvio Nardi – are perfectedly matched for a promising night in Bangkok.

Cameron must stop and search his conscience
Theresa May is right to curtail this power. Its reform would improve Conservative and police relations with minorities
David Cameron prides himself on being a rational leader, a natural statesman who can be trusted to be reasonable at a time of national crisis. On law and order, though, he is in danger of chasing his own shadow. When it comes to crime, the man who once worked as a special adviser to the hardline Home Secretary Michael Howard is driven more by his heart than his head.
At the moment, it's immigration that is grabbing the headlines for the Home Office, after the resignation of Mark Harper. There are questions about how employers can be held responsible for the immigration status of their staff — as required by the Government's new legislation — if the minister cannot even keep tabs on his own cleaner.…

May 2016 | Negotiation & Persuasion
We often think of them in terms of governments and unions: small groups of sometimes unlikely partners join together as a coalition to exert bargaining power over a more formidable adversary. Politicians, laborers, and even college professors make headlines when they use coalitions effectively.
But when it comes to corporate negotiations, this powerful tool is often neglected. "Coalitions can play an important role in many negotiations," says Wharton professor Cade Massey, "but even seasoned negotiators rarely think to use them." Massey, who teaches in Wharton's week-long Executive Negotiation Workshop: Bargaining for Advantage®, explains that it's not surprising since the topic is mostly overlooked in negotiation literature and research. "Coalitions don't get talked about or written about enough, but they can strongly influence outcomes. In the program, we offer concrete prescriptions for using coalitions more productively, and participants have many opportunities to practice with a diverse group of peers. They're relevant to so many negotiations that you need to be thinking about it all the time."
Specifically, Massey explains four ways to create and use coalitions the next time you're preparing for a negotiation:
Ultimately, Massey says if you don't do the groundwork, you won't have a coalition — and you'll be at a disadvantage. "You should ideally be sitting at the table with two or three coalitional partners in the room. If you're not, be aware that other people are. If you think no one has talked about the issues behind the scenes and formed coalitions, you are already behind."

By Staff Sgt. Grant Matthes, 1st Brigade Combat Team PAO NCOICOctober 15, 2015
FORT DRUM, Oct. 15, 2015) -- Ranger-qualified Soldiers from throughout the 10th Mountain Division (LI) gathered Oct. 6 at Fort Drum's Light Fighters School to take on the first of several assessments in hopes of being selected to represent the division during next year's Army Best Ranger Competition.
"They need to be experts in basically any task related to combat arms," said Capt. Travis Boudreau, commander of Fort Drum's Light Fighters School. "It's an all-encompassing task list that we're going to have them train on."
Before participating in the assessment, candidates had their own techniques to prepare for the challenges they would have to overcome.
"We've been doing the (Mountain Athlete Warrior physical training) and have been doing other activities every other weekend that last about five to six hours on Saturdays on and off for the past month and a half," said 1st Lt. Travis Swan, executive officer for Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (LI), and a candidate for the assessment.
With a 4 a.m. report time, candidates showed up eager and prepared to complete each of the challenges that awaited them over the next 24 hours.
"I expected to be able to push myself to the absolute limit for the first time in a long time," Swan said. "I knew coming into this it was all about strength management and not about exerting all your energy on just one event."
This was the first of multiple assessments scheduled for the 18 candidates, with the next one being in November.
"I expect them to put forth their best individual efforts so that we can establish a baseline and structure their individual training plans based on their own strengths and weaknesses," Boudreau added. "Every single one of these guys is going to be allowed to continue to train on with us."
The assessment consisted of multiple events to prepare the candidates for what they would face if they are selected to participate in the Army-level competition.
After the reception process, the candidates took on the Ranger Physical Fitness Test consisting of pushups, situps, pullups and a five-mile run.
Immediately afterward, they started the land navigation portion of their day where they had to find three out of three points to be considered successful.
Their next challenge was to waterproof their equipment and use it to swim 50 meters. Then they had to drop their packs on shore and jump back in the cold water in Remington Pond and swim 300 meters where they were to get out of the water and run back to their gear.
From there, candidates ruck marched to the Light Fighters School and negotiated the obstacle course.
When candidates were finished, they tried their hands on properly conducting two rappels from the Air Assault School tower, followed by a ruck march to a Fort Drum training area to proficiently fire multiple weapons systems.
Later that evening, candidates completed another land navigation course, but this time in the hours of darkness. With a minimum amount of sleep, they finished the assessment the next morning with Mountain Athlete Warrior physical training consisting of a two-mile run, a tire flip, a sked drag, a rope climb and one-mile run.
As the candidates concluded the training, they had their minds set on sustaining their strengths and improving on their weak points before the next assessment.
"I think this assessment has shown me that I need to get back to the basics," Swan said. "A lot of the time we master the basics early in our career and then we forget about them later on."
He added that he will focus on "getting back to the books, maybe getting out here and doing land nav once a week again, going over knots -- basic skill-level-one Soldier tasks."
Leaders in charge of the assessment plan to increase the intensity of the training each time until the candidates are fully ready to take on the competition at the Army level.
"We want more people participating," Boudreau said. "We're still open to taking people in, but they have to be ready to come on and train, and we will assess them again in November. The division commander wants us assessing over 40 Soldiers and he wants us training over 20."
Once the candidates are chosen, they will have from January until April to train at Fort Polk, La., before the Army's Best Ranger Competition.
"We're not going to select the team members that will go down to Fort Polk until the end of November," Boudreau said. "Each of these guys will have the opportunity to develop, and based on the amount of effort they put into that and based on what their scores end up being in that final assessment will determine who moves on."

I'm sorry I haven't posted sooner about my fabulous new job at LibraryThing, but as usual, it was some little detail that inspired me to actually write.
Here's the life synopsis: On Monday, I jumped in with two feet (holding a wedge of brie and laptop). I'm working on the LibraryThing for Libraries (LTFL) stuff. LTFL is this fantastic idea that any old library can add widgets to their OPAC, joining the LibraryThing data to their catalog, which means tag clouds! similar titles! hottness!
So, that's what I'm up to now. I work from home, or wherever, so I'm now online 100% of the day. If you IM me, and I can't chat much, it's because I'm busy making libraries' catalogs more awesome.
That being said, part of joining LibraryThing is learning more about what the damned site can do. The answer? A lot.
Right now, my favorite thing is that along with Library of Congress records and member-generated tags by the millions, you can make your own records for things that aren't already out there.
Zine collections like Paper-Fort.

Why data is important to drive the customer experience
"Your first assumption is going to be wrong."
That was advice from a former leader of mine as we started the move to data driven, lean UX methodologies. That statement has resonated with me through my career. And while your first assumption may not ALWAYS be wrong, it will always be expanded upon through the use of data.
For example, say I'm building an ecommerce website and I'm focused on the shopping cart. Perhaps I have an opinion on how the user will interact with certain features on the page, like the ability to add more items, or view certain options within the cart related to the product. That's my assumption. It's not backed up by anything but my own experience – sample size of one.
What data, and the customer feedback loop will show me is that maybe I'm wrong. Maybe not everyone shops like me (how dare they – I'm the perfect customer). Through prototyping and usability, I will be able to see "real life" scenarios in action. Perhaps the data (observations, surveys, etc.) shows me that the options I wanted the user to input in the shopping cart were better served on the product detail page? Or that some other piece of functionality that I was passionate about is over looked or not even used.
I know this isn't the great revelation of the century to most of you – but… ata takes the emotion out of things.
Like I said previously, I was a sample size of one and is typically not the best representation of how your product may be used at scale. In essence, the "customer" in customer experience may just be you… and that's really sad.
If getting out of the building (lovingly referred to as GOOBing in the Agile/Lean world) is not possible, there are so many great tools and services out there that allow you to see your prototype or live product in action like usertesting.com where you can select your target audience and have them test your prototype or product and get the results in real time for analysis. GOOBing, if you can do it, is much better because you can actually grab random people (only if they are willing!) and watch them interact with your product in real life. So much data can be derived from either online or IRL testing – and quite possibly disprove (or prove) your original hypothesis. What to do with those results are completely up to you. Pivot or persevere.
Whatever you do, listen to your users…
