Thinking about applying in a care home facility? At first, you might mistake this to be the same as nursing homes. However, you should understand that care assistant jobs do not provide medical assistance to old age patients. They only assist in their day to day essentials. This kind of job might prove to be more challenging than you imagine, so keep reading to learn the responsibilities you put on your shoulders should you decide to pursue this career. If you choose this career found care assistant jobs here.
The first requirement for a care home job is to have a genuine interest in caring for the elderly. As you may know, it's not an easy task to care for old people. The patients might be suffering from certain health conditions, which could influence their mental health as well. It's not uncommon to hear of old patients getting moody, refusing to join activities or practice everyday habits such as bathing.
This alone should make you think thoroughly whether you're a good fit for the job. if you have genuine compassion for old people, then you will probably do well. Most facilities will require you to pass a police check to make sure that you have a clean criminal history. You also need to gain a basic understanding of the law involving care home jobs.
Aside from offering assistance in washing, bathing, and dressing, you also need to make sure that the patients always feel their best in the facility. New patients must feel welcomed. This is why your communication skills must be second to none.
UK Care Guide offered care assistant jobs that should prove to be a compelling opportunity to start a career and earn a decent income. However, this job calls for a lot of patience, compassion, love for the elderly. Without these three traits, you might be better off forging a different career path.

About Me
My name is Heru Fathurohman. I'm an Indonesian but I've been living and working in Switzerland since 2001. I'm an amateur photographer and I would like to share my passion of photography through this website.
In my gallery, you can find some of my pictures collection. Those pictures are divided into many categories, but basically they divided into 3 types of pictures:
- Fine Art pictures, i.e. Landscapes, Nature, Sunset & Sunrise, Flower, Animal, etc.
- Events pictures where I was involved or requested to cover the event.
- Public events.
You can rate the pictures, make a comment and also send it as eCard to your friends/families.
You can also download the pictures from the Events category pictures. If you would like to have a copy of pictures from other categories, or you would like to have a bigger size, please contact me by email.
I will appreciate if you can leave me some comments and critiques in my pictures, or a message in my guestbook.
Thank you, and I hope you can enjoy your time during your visit.

These past few weeks have just flown by.
Even though I am still working while other lucky people are enjoying their holidays, I am having a great time.
It helps that I have a four day week end and my own holidays quickly approaching.
I finally finished sewing the drapery for Little Man's room.
He is over the moon excited about the darkness.
The sun has lately been making an appearance at 04h30.
These block out a lot of that glorious sunshine.
They also seem possess magical powers that entice the young man to clean his room.
He actually does have a floor.
The garden is also doing splendid!
These Lilies never had a chance last year because of my nemesis the Red Lily Eating Beetle.
I love the colours.
I'm pretty sure these might be weeds, but I like them.
So they stay!
I had thought that my Butterfly bush had perished due the harsh winter.
I was mistaken.
Same about our Honeysuckle as well. It had split right at the bottom and Hubs and I both thought it was doomed.
It is a hardy little thing!
Lastly, check out the tomato plants. They will tower over the fence soon.
The key ingredient is chicken poop.
As a celebration to a great week end, Little Man and I baked strawberry cupcakes with actual strawberries.
I believe there are four left.
Not much else really going on in our little world.
Just enjoying each day as it comes.
I hope you are well!
Enjoy the day.

Developing Life Skills through Physical Activity: A Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility Model Approach
Beamish, Nick
MetadataShow full item record
Ethnographic methods were used to study a weekly after-school physical activity program over an eight-month period. Based on Hellison's Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model, the program sought to foster positive life skills amongst youth. The study investigated how the developed program influenced this life skills education experience. Several themes were identified from the data revolving around culture, life skills, pedagogy, and lessons learned. Data suggests that the positive environment developed within the program positively influenced youths' life skill education experience. The topic of ethnicity as it relates to the experience of marginalized youth in physical activity settings is also discussed. This study supports TPSR literature and suggests that effort to establish caring relationships and empower youth contribute to the establishment of a positive atmosphere where life skills education can occur. Beyond this, practical tools were developed through this study to help others deliver life skill education.

Thing One: Barclays' Bad News:Barclays just can't seem to escape that pesky Libor scandal. The bank reported its earnings on Friday and revealed that it'sfacing more lawsuits over rate-riggingthan previously thought. At least Barclays officials seem to know that they have to keep apologizing if they ever want this thing to go away; Bloomberg reports that the company's chairman, Marcus Agius,said in a statement that the company is "sorry for what has happened, however, our leadership continues to focus on the delivery of our financial performance targets."
The apology may not help the bank avoid further lawsuits. Many mutual funds have launched internal investigations in an aim to figure out if they were hurt badly enough by the Libor manipulation that it warrants suing, according to The Wall Street Journal.

A Big Bird's Nest of Thoughts
Susan: Hi, Ram. I thought I would just touch base. Sundari has been weaving her magic and I imbibe all with speed, then leisure and gratitude.
She really makes me aware. For me, it is more about seeing the unhelpful ignorance that is operating in this seeming person… and also learning to parrot your book.
Ram: Yes, learn the logic of the teaching, Susan. Become a Ramji clone. ☺ Seeing ignorance, understanding what it is, is all that is required. It will go when it is recognized.
Susan: The energy actually is getting better.
Ram: It is good to know that the energy is getting better. Slowly you will calm down.
Susan: Last night I dreamed a dream. It feels like a song. All my credit cards and money were stolen from my purse whilst I was travelling on a train. I wasn't too worried. Then a big football crowd was playing outside of a house where I used to live. Ted joined the crowd but I stayed and observed from above. I can have a few guesses about the purse part. If you think it is necessary and have the time could you please tell me what you think re the purse.
Ram: It means that your are losing your sense of insecurity because self-knowledge is working in you. The purse represents security, emotional, financial – any kind of security. It is going because you do not need security anymore. You are security itself. You seem to have understood this at some deep level, and the letting go is happening on the causal level. It will take time for the tangled bird's nest of thoughts and feelings to unravel but it will happen.
The big football crowd is the many thoughts that crowd your mind – the rajas.
Because the knowledge is working ("I stayed and observed from above") you will be letting go of the familiar things that you were attached to as time passes. It seems Ted is one of them. I think your relationship with him will improve. It is a very good dream, spiritually.
As you say below, "I have always been there." It means you know who you are. And the knowledge also shows in the statement "the thunder clouds just have to continue rolling out of the way." If they are rolling away it means the knowledge is loosening the hold of the vasanas.
Susan: I don't want to carry on too much but you know I really love you and Sundari. I deliberately didn't buy your photo because I didn't want to worship you, but the inexpressible expression that I feel for you both is deep and present and as though emerging. And yet, in writing this, I know I have always been here, the thunder clouds just have to continue rolling out of the way.
Ram: About the photo, you can't worship us because we are not available for worship. We are just symbols of your desire to be free. Sometimes people like to have symbols in their environment that remind them of who they are and what they want. The symbol invokes bhakti for the self. You don't need such things because that deep and inexpressible feeling you have for us is a deep and inexpressible love for you. We are you and you are us.
~ Love, Ram and Sundari

do le RinQuinQuin
A few weeks ago we spent the weekend in the Luberon as I had a magazine article to take pictures for. One day we lunched in this superbly old school restaurant in Bonnieux. It was one of the best restuarant meals I've had for ages; especially as for research & photographic purposes, we had to sample some of the apéritifs de Provence.
It was the RinQuinQuin that totally had me. It rolls off the tongue like a cross between a Moulin Rouge show girl and a Noël Coward play. There's usually à la pêche added to the name but I prefer to call it simply le RinQuinQuin.

This looks like a lovely place. And I love the name!ReplyDelete

Fletcher 1 Cottage Fletcher 3 Cottage
Comments by Guests
Following are just a few of the many comments transcribed directly from our guest books.
"Our stay was excellent! The beauty is breathtaking and your warm hospitality comes through here at the cottage. I loved watching the birds, and sitting by the fire pit on the lakefront at night."
"What a magical place! Talk about a room with a view; the master bedroom [in Fletcher 3] is like being on board a ship. The patio was great entertainment too, with the birds vs. the chipmunks."
"We had a wonderful time here, with the deepest sleeps, great breakfasts, good walks. We saw a moose just down the road!"
"The cottage is a perfect getaway with wonderful silence for reading. The autumn colors are so beautiful through the countryside, and it was the perfect place to go 'leaf peeping.' Although the weather wasn't sunny and warm, we made it out in the row boat against the wind and went farther than we thought we could! We also had a great time exploring the tourist attractions in nearby towns."
"Breathtaking scenery, awesome autumn colors, chickadees and deer. We got lost more than once going to and fro, enjoying the beauty of God's land in Vermont! Thank you for your hospitality, especially the care you take in stocking the refrigerator."
"The cabin is wonderful, and we loved going for rides in the canoe and rowboat. Evenings by the fire topped off perfect days at the cabin!"
"The weather was great and the cabin was cozy. The kids had fun fishing right off the dock, something they had never done before."
"What a great change from the concrete jungle of NYC! We had a grand time; relaxing by the pond, waking in the morning to the birds and the mist rising off the water and spending quiet evenings together."
"First things first: The bird feeder report. A whole family of family of rose-breasted grosbeaks, plus a male hanger-on. Goldfinches, a purple finch, a song sparrow, plus the usual suspects–chickadees, jays, chipmunks–sometimes all at once. Beautiful show. The lake, at sunrise and sunset, is pretty wonderful too!"
"The mist on the pond in early morning, and the cry of a lone loon. What more could you ask for?"
"What a wonderful time we had! I must admit that I was worried that it would be too secluded here, but there were other campers to chat with and they helped to make it fun. We loved the canoe and the rowboat. My son had never been in a canoe before, and he took right to it. We built a fire in the firepit and roasted marshmallows and hot dogs–what a treat that was!"
"I spent hours on the Internet to find just the right place for a holiday in the fall and we just kept on finding your cottages by Metcalf Pond. You never know if it will be as good in real life, but this was just as we imagined, and we had the bonus of beautiful fall colors plus temperatures in the 80s! We have climbed, canoed, kayaked, walked, driven, rowed, and paddled all around the are and now we are happy and enchanted! We found a button on the oven that says "Stop Time" and we've spent all Friday pressing it, in the hope we can stay forever, but unfortunately it hasn't worked yet."
"What a wonderful place, close to all the Vermont attractions we wanted to see–Shelburne Museum, Ben & Jerry's, Vermont Teddy Bear factory, Cabot, Dakins, Johnson Woolen Mill."
"The girls had a brilliant time paddling the canoe and in the rowboat. They discovered the most wonderful echo when out in the middle of the pond–so clear and distinct, the peace and quiet were disturbed for a few minutes whilst the new phenomenon was tested out!"
"We've had a great time paddling around with the boats, cooking dinners in the well-equipped kitchen, exploring the nature and relaxing while watching the birds outside."

If you are coming from the Creating A Preset tutorial then you should be all set to add your "Fast" preset to the Presets menu; otherwise, if you have not created a "Fast" preset, please see the Creating A Preset tutorial.
To add a preset to the Presets menu we must first head back to the options form. In the Options menu click Setup. Next click on the Presets tab. It should look like this:
Now click the Add button and browse to the location you saved your preset to, select it, and open it. The preset will now be added to your list of presets as shown below:
You can add as many presets as you want here, and remove them latter by simply selecting them and clicking the Remove button. Once you are happy with the presets you have added, click OK to return to the main Batch Compiler from. You'll now notice a shinny new Presets main menu option. From here you can launch any presets you added from the options form. It should look like this:
This generates and saves the same BATCH script that the batch compiler its self would use to compile your map. As ling as the source and destination files are always going to be in the same place, you can directly execute this script with out needing the Batch Compiler.
To execute this compile script from Hammer, go to the Expert Run Map dialog
make a new profile and insted of adding the compile tools, add a new Command. this is where you enter your newly created BATCH script. Then whenever you compile using this special profile in Hammer, it will call the BATCH script and compile your map.
If you want to change some options in the BATCH script, open up the Batch Compiler, make the changes you want, then re-save over the old BATCH script (that way you don't need to change any thing in Hammer). Alternatively, if you have different settings that you use often, create multiple BATCH scripts and profiles in Hammer so you can quickly change what script you want Hammer to execute.
I Set Up Batch Compiler To Suit DOD 1.3 using The halflife Tutorial & It comes Up With A Error windows error I Think "ERROR cant open complier.bat"
the built in complier in hammer works fine
(but when i compile a map it has no errors i try & load a local game to test it wont load just sits in the DOD splash screen)
any idears ??? :)

Singing About Summer Fun in a RAMAug 07, 2015
Summer is an inspiring season. With the cold dull of winter finally behind us, summertime opens up a world of longer days and warmer weather, the perfect conditions for adventure. Summertime lures us to the outdoors, to get out and explore the world around us.
Combine that enticing invitation with the appeal of a pickup truck and you've got a scene waiting to be set to music. And that's exactly what country artist Easton Corbin has done.
Following the lead of fellow country star and Ram brand ambassador, Miranda Lambert, who's song "Roots and Wings," is dedicated to the Ram truck line, Corbin has also released a brand new ditty, "Let's Ride." Of course, there are scores of songs about pickup trucks, but the theme of making memories and finding your direction really speaks to the Ram brand's motto, "Grab Life."
Pickup trucks and summertime fun are a natural fit, and it makes sense that country artists would celebrate that connection in song. See what makes the Ram trucks worth singing about…particularly, the award-winning 2015 Ram 1500–one of the best-selling trucks for sale in Miami.

Having dropped one of the years' most beguiling debuts with a level of fanfare better suited to the grand opening of a municipal b-road Kins, who migrated to Brighton from Melborne, are strong contenders for the least assuming, and arguably most charming, band of 2013.
Hailing from the softer foothills of the psychedelic Plateau their sound, which sits somewhere between Alt-J and Tame Impala on the spectrum, is immediate, simple and, on repeated listens, loaded with dark subplots that belies its lush exterior.
They were kind enough to supply an original track for the compilation we put out earlier this year, which immediately places them very high in our estimation, buts it's ultimately their music, which has recently started hitting five figure play counts on soundcloud, that's got us hooked.
Despite the bands' laid back approach their star's on the ascendance and, with their eponymous LP getting a well deserved American release in the New Year, 2014 could be the year the scales tip in Kins' favour.

After the nerves of the Oscars 2013, sightings want to miss the big party par excellence: the Vanity Fair organized every year, always a party full of glamor and beautiful but also expensive mistakes. And is that the pull with the Oscar can not sit on a red carpet and gala ... should be extended until you drop (that's why they have all monísimas).
Reward looks the Vanity Fair Oscars Party.
And the winners are ...
Diane Kruger A should give the prize "What is this girl always cute." For the Vanity Fair party opted for a Giambattista Valli mini dress and shoes by Christian Louboutin. The silhouette of the dress is perhaps not the most flattering (if you can say something does not favor my dear Diane), but I like to bet on the short on a night in which it appears that the regulation requires long.
Naomi Watts, ideal with black Emilio Pucci dress and that perfect gold and collected the prize "Learn, small, and I took a long journey."
Another who also opted for the short was the "great actress" Kate Bosworth, famous for stepping on many red carpets and participate in films like ... this ... well, always go pretty cute, but as this award and we have given to Diane Kruger Kate going to give the "I work hard because people do not forget to follow me and believing that I am an actress." Bravo for that romantic look, his (also) Giambattista Valli and her hairstyle inspiration youtube tutorials.
Natalie Portman is impossible not to love her: she's beautiful, is a good actress, is adorable and the prize to "I'm a walking advertisement for Dior" as the image of Miss Dior Cheri and all Dior dress from the feet to the head with this white dress, simple and elegant.
The perfect break: the models
And between hits and misses what better to see the models, supernatural creatures that appeared to steal the limelight from the actresses with their meters eighties, his long legs and his looks. Here we have them.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley appeared with this Valentino. What can I say, I Rosie if I had opted for a Hervé Leger (because trikini go well is too much and does not comply with the dress code) to teach great body, but she gave for going demure.
His sidekick Alessandra Ambrosio got very sick last night and gave the syndrome "Anna Dello Russo meets Nile Cleopatra" because come on, how many rhinestones, too much, and how much of that bad outcome is not it?
Miranda Kerr has enchanted me this time, wearing a very air of old Hollywood, I love your Pelaz, her dress and the way they pose to "Take that, Kate Bosworth that I am left with Orlando Bloom."
Honey, what are you wearing?
The former Disney girls Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens appeared to be very friendly and dressed by her worst enemy in the party. Vanessa wore a brilli-brilli of Jacob & Co for which we give the prize "Extra a show in Las Vegas" while Selena wore a Versace Atelier perhaps by an optical effect will seem fair, but it's only by being next to a chorus of Cher in 1984. A Selena give the prize "The old trick of putting the pictures next to that friend who is worse than you."
Zooey Deschanel gets the prize "I'm hipster and I Know It" with this vintage Valentino unflattering. Zooey Sorry, you roll me maleni supremely bored, a little hair, your clothes and your attitude vintage twelve-sticks when you're thirty. I put my head in my "Honey, what are you wearing?" For being such a box.
Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, fully recovered from his fall, he removed his precious dress winner to get this dress from Calvin Klein that I do not convince me finish, if you know the color or for being too restrictive and too the mark you curves. With love I give the prize "I hope you will not fall into the curse of the Oscars and you continue to have jobs."
Definitely, it was the night of Anne. Yes, he won the Oscar and all you want, but in style Anne Hathaway did not shine especially in the gala and much less in the party. Anne Hathaway wins the "I will be most remembered by Valentino I put to present at Oscars 2012 that I started to collect my figurine ".

Washed Out - "It All Feels Right"
When Washed Outfirst announced the details about his upcoming third record Paracosm, we were intrigued: Ernest Greene promised a departure from his electronic-based chillwave roots, and a record on which he'd used over fifty instruments plus samples. Here's single number one, "It All Feels Right," which definitely lives up to Greene's promises - it's an acoustic-guitar driven, sunshiney pop number that recalls Youth Lagoon or MGMT more than it does the airy, Balearic textures of his earlier material. That's okay with us, though; "It All Feels Right" gorgeously shows off how versatile and talented Greene is as a songwriter. Check out the album's tracklist here. Paracosm is out August 13.

Networking Scribes
Brynley Roberts (University of Wales, Aberystwyth)
**Prof. Roberts was not present, his paper was read aloud by Chair Catherine McKenna (Harvard University)
This was the keynote paper given at the Celtic Studies Association of North America Annual Conference at the University of Toronto April 18 – 21, 2013.
Textual studies and textual criticism refer only to prose texts: A definable composition, copies that have a recognizable, verbal identity. Copies may show variations, patterns, shared errors etc. and can be more than one retelling of a narrative – these retellings are versions. The authority of a text lies in its social milieu context, the backdrop of the scholars knowledge, his readers and their needs. Scribes are free to adapt texts, adding and omitting information.Text, redaction and version may have minimal significance for the medieval scribe. He was more concerned with genres, and had more freedom. "version, redaction and copy are our problem, not his". He would transcribe what was before him and was free to reshape a sentence, alter words, and in his own mind, he would be transcribing faithfully but to the modern editor, this was merely " aversion". Medieval scholars saw to make texts intelligent and useful – to best meet their needs and those of their patrons.
Roberts looked at Welsh prose and translations. The distinctions between author/translator are often blurred, 'Manuscripts are unique human objects'. He examined four manuscripts of the Welsh translation – Gwassanaeth Meir – The Little Office, shows differences in liturgical manuscripts. These are books of private devotion and reading. Two scribes were careful copyists and reflect their regional dialects in their work.
Peniarth MS191 vs. Shrewsbury School MSXI
mewn/ y mewn Mywn/ y mywn
ymchwelet ymchoelit/ymchoel
Peniarth MS 192 – the smallest one that was carried in a bag much like later Victorian ladies carried on their travels and contained popular prayers. Four additional prayers were added to the text as this was an incomplete copy. However, these copies are incomplete only in our view – to the medieval scribe, they were complete as they served their purposes.
Ystorya Peredur – four manuscripts
Peniarth MS 7, s. XIII/XIV – terminates with the hero's fourteen year stay. Context of traditional focus on material of the hero – what happened after is another story.
Peniarth MS 14, s. XIV
White Book of Rhydderch, s. XIV – while this narrator aims to give the readers further concluding stories of adventure.
Red Book of Hergest, s. XIV/XV

Someone from the FB page named Jed asked for this.
I heard the men before I saw them.
"…I still say he cost the team the world series. If he hadn't run off the field and not touched the base the game would have been won and they wouldn't have had to replay the game." The speaker's voice was deep and sonorous.
"But Merkel wasn't the one that threw the ball to second. It was Chance's fault. The ball he used was not the game ball. That one was tossed into the crowd by pitcher Joe McGinnity. If anyone lost the game it was him. Not the runner." This voice was thin and reedy.
"But the game…"
"Stop! You two are seriously debating a game that has been over and done for a century! Please no more about baseball. Can't we talk fashion again?" This came from a woman.
"Like that is anymore interesting Sims. I could have lived my whole life without knowing the eight ways to spot a fake Louboutin shoe. I'd never even heard what one of those was until you told us. Who even looks at the stitching or heel transition?"
"Women do. If you had a girlfriend you might know this. Doesn't your wife tell you these things Jenkins?"
"My wife wouldn't even know how to put one of those things on much less walk in them. She's more of a flip-flop sort of girl. I'd show you a picture but … you know." Jenkins it seemed was the reedy voice. Sims sounded a bit vain if shoes was all she talked about.
"OK. So let's discuss something else then. How about disco?" The deep voice made the suggestion.
The other two made loud groaning noises. "That is exactly why you are still single Sloan. How can you stand to listen to that stuff?"
Sloan, Sims, and Jenkins were apparently the ones that were trapped. I could hear other voices but those seemed to be the support crew. I could see the hole in the fence as well as the speakers. The two men each held what looked to be a similar gizmo to the one I took last year. The woman was frozen looking over her shoulder.
"Uh, guys." Jenkins was frozen looking in my direction and he saw me first.
"… I still say disco sucks!" Sims and Sloan were still arguing.
"Guys! You need to listen to me!"
"What! Jenkins you will get your turn. We all agreed to protocol here." Sims yelled at him.
"There is a woman on the other side of the fence and she's looking at me!" Jenkins sounded a bit frantic. I made a mental note to tweak the spell a little. It shouldn't even be allowing them to speak. Could it be the machines they held?
The wards allowed me to reach through and take the small machine from Lieutenant Jenkins. I could see his insignia now. "Thank you lieutenant. This will go nice with my collection of these."
"She just took the shield breaker from me!"
"Jenkins shut your freaking mouth! That name is Top Secret and you know it. Who took your machine? Describe her?" Sloan looked to be a Captain. Interesting.
"Hey we need some help over here! Help!" Lieutenant Sims yelled toward those on the other side of the fence.
The voices on the other side of the fence suddenly got louder. I needed to hurry. The ward and shield should prevent bullets from penetrating but I didn't want to take any chances. I removed the shield breaker from Sloan and used my telekinesis to push the three officers back through the fence.
"We're free!" Sims yelled.
"Somebody stop her she has the … thing I can't talk about! Hey you, give me that gun I need to shoot a Witch!" Captain Sloan started arguing with an unnamed Marine.
Not cool. I held up my hands and muttered a repair spell. These little machines troubled me. They were able to penetrate the shield but not all the way. Mundanes shouldn't mess with things they don't understand. I walked back to my lab but in a roundabout direction making ninety degree turns and watching the corner of the fence as much as possible. My protections should stop a bullet but I didn't want to test them out that way.
My safe was in my office. It was original to the office and one of those incredibly heavy reinforced steel ones from the early twentieth century. Grandmother and I had used magic on it to change the lock and add some protections when she was here at graduation. Changing the make-up of non-living things was something I was gaining skill at and we actually used it to test out my magic. Why not get something useful out of it?
The door opened with a creak. I made a mental note to get some oil. Inside was the original device as well as more spell bombs and a few rare crystals. The spell bombs were something Grandmother cooked up. Too bad I had left them here on my probi mission they could have come in handy. They were transmogrification bombs.
The day was ending and the sky darkening when I heard the whirring. Looking up I could see one of the Marine Corps new Ospreys. Jack, being a Marine himself, talked about innovations and changes to the military that could affect our service so I knew with only a glance what it was. The sky above my lab was protected but not disguised. They could see me as easily as I them.
"Step away from the vehicle and put your hands on your head!" I stopped washing the floor mats and stared up at the aircraft. The rear door was open and what looked like an assault team was about to descend. Shaking my head I went back to cleaning. This should be fun.
"This is your last warning!" Special forces black outfitted troops began sliding down ropes as the plane hovered about thirty feet of the ground. Stopping again I watched and winced as the first troop hit the shield.

4 comments:
I don't get the fascination with DVF. The fabric is sub-par and the line has not been innovative or even constructed well since the creation of her wrap dress.
I feel DVF is one of those American designers rammed down our throats to support the industry.
If it's any consolation, London, French and Italian Vogues heavily push their local designers as well.

Anon #1 - you do realize that she's part of the fashion mafia, don't you? She's head of the CFDA, and intimately connected to Vogue et al.
That said, yes, the designs are just ok - although I have found that I am swayed just enough to purchase a dress or two when it costs 50-75 dollars on sale or at a sample sale. Some pieces are actually pretty practical and conservative enough for work in a midtown office. Of course, my personal preferance leans toward edgier designers but I could never wear those to work.

One of my students, Mary Lane, has posted a brief response, "Why I Love Jesus AND Religion", to which I say, "Amen!" Here's a snippet from her fine post:
. . . while it may be tempting to play the, "yeah, I think religious people are lame, too" card in an attempt to get more people to hear our message, we need to be careful that our message does not fly in the face of the Gospel. I don't have time to cover everything misleading in the video here, but I will try to hit the main points.
What if I told you Jesus came to abolish religion?
…Then I'd say you probably haven't read the New Testament very carefully. Jesus is pretty clear in Matthew 5:17 when He says,
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill."The Law, of course, being the Law of Moses, i.e. The Old Covenant, i.e. RELIGION.
In the Old Testament, God actually calls religious people whores
Yes, God called some religious people whores in the Old Testament—when they were being unfaithful to the Law (in other words: when they were disobeying the laws of their RELIGION—their religion given to them by God, by the way).
In the New Testament, Jesus refers to the scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites an awful lot, but remember the definition of a hypocrite: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. Jesus actually told the disciples that they should DO what the scribes and Pharisees tell them.
"…practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice" (Matthew 23:3).
"Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven…For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:19-20)
Doesn't sound like Jesus hates religion to me. In fact, it sounds like He takes it pretty seriously.Be sure to check out her excellent website, youngandcatholic.net.
And, Mary, by the way, congratulations on the engagement!

Use plants from this list to have a great selection of vegetables for your salads. Get enough of these plants in and you'll never have to buy salad greens from the supermarket ever again.
Eating a large variety of uncooked vegetables straight from your garden must be one of the best favours you can do your body – whether you're fighting illness or preventing it. No pill or medicine can really replicate what mother nature offers us in fresh plants.
My criteria for adding them here is they taste pleasant for most – no bitterness and fine to eat on their own or mixed in with other salad plants.
They can all be eaten raw in your salads and taste fantastic.

MaryAnna's Tea Interview (I)
(Part 1 of a 2-part interview)
What does it take to bring a bottled tea to market? Beats me. So I thought I'd ask someone who's done it - the founder and head honcho of the New Jersey-based MaryAnna's Tea. Thanks to Mary Ann Rollano for taking the time to provide such in-depth answers to my questions.
1. Why tea?
I have always wanted to start a business and could not as a Registered Nurse due to the restrictions of an RN's license. Nurses cannot just hang out a shingle like doctors can. Therefore, I was forever looking elsewhere. I love tea and had been making my mother's sweetened iced tea for my entire adult life. Always receiving compliments on it, I knew I made a good brew.
My husband is a big fan of my tea and I have been making it every day for him to enjoy. He drinks more of the tea than I do, as I will switch to hot tea in the colder months, but he stays with the iced tea. I had toyed with the idea of a teashop of some sort for a long time; it was just something that lingered in the back of my mind.
2. Why bottled tea?
If I didn't make my home brewed tea I'd have a back up supply of some type or other popular brand of ready to drink tea, but we never found any we really liked. In the summer of 2007, I had an impulse of an idea to figure out how to brew my own tea and bottle it for our own back up supply. I thought there must be a way to take the exact brew that I make on my stove and pour it into a bottle without using preservatives or any other ingredients other than the ingredients I use at home, that being filtered water, black tea leaves, pure cane sugar and 100% lemon juice. I did not want to alter it one bit. A simple recipe actually. What could be so hard?
3. How long ago did you conceive of this idea and how long was the planning phase?
I started experimenting and researching that very summer. Once I acted on that impulse, I did not stop. I spent a year researching and experimenting before my first bottle of tea was on a store shelf. I came out with my final product in the summer of 2008.
Iced tea is a summer drink for most people, which is why I called it Summer Sweet Tea. I might add that during my research phase I came across the Rutgers Food Innovation Center here in NJ. They have a wonderful program that offers workshops and a food processing facility that allows people like me to learn how to take a treasured kitchen recipe out of the kitchen and into the marketplace. That program and the internet helped speed up the process tremendously. Rutgers made my first 1000-bottle test run with my exact recipe and it turned out to be quite a success.
Some of the specialty and natural food stores in my hometown agreed sell my iced tea and it very quickly sold out. I had to go back to Rutgers and ask them to make another 1000 bottle run, as I had not yet found a commercial bottler. Seeing my product sell so well along with such, positive feedback gave me the incentive to keep moving forward.
The impetus for the beach scene on the label came from the desire to depict a wholesome, natural product that came from the Jersey Shore. I knew that label would be my only form of advertising so I had to make it eye catching. It had to be something that would prompt you to pick it from the shelf.

Thank God for that Rutgers lab. Bringing a pure product like this to market is quite a blessing. At least in the world of tea where there's a constant battle for shelf space among terribly unhealthy drinks. --Spirituality of Tea

So far nobody has been able to decipher the signature, it could be Michael Wong, it could be Kent Cheng, it could even be director Yip Tin Hang, or as Jared suggested, this could be the culprit.
|I'm inclined to agree JK
Admittedly the pics aren't the clearest, but to be fair the silver marker (which looks like it's been covered with nail polish or something) isn't the easiest thing to get a photo of. So I tried scanning them, and I'm not sure the results are much clearer.
As a last resort, I dug out the old forgery skills (I won't be giving up the day job!) and came up with this approximation of the scribble.
|Note the smooth line work
Surprisingly, it really does look something like this.
If anyone out there knows whose signature this could be, then please get in touch. Equally if you have something signed by Michael Wong, Kent Cheng etc, and it doesn't look anything like this then please send a pic of it so I can eliminate them from my enquiries.

January 3, 2012: BRITAX has received reports from consumers concerning missing screw(s)/nut(s) at the base joint connector(s) of their infant/child seat. BRITAX has determined that a limited number of infant/child seats were manufactured with screws/nuts that were improperly inserted. As a result one or both of these screws/nuts may be detached from the base joint connector. The potentially affected infant/child seats (see list below) were manufactured from the start of production in early July 2010 through August 2011.
BRITAX assures you that if your infant/child seat is missing a screw/nut in the base joint connector, you can continue to safely use your BRITAX infant/child seat until the screw/nut is replaced. The missing screw(s)/nut(s) does not affect the safety performance of the infant/child seat because the infant/child seat is attached to the vehicle via the reinforced steel bars on the seat shell and not the infant/child seat base. However BRITAX highly recommends that you replace any missing screws/nuts in order to ensure that your infant/child seat fully functions as originally designed. Until you receive replacement screws/nuts, BRITAX recommends that you ensure that your infant/child seat is properly installed using the vehicle seat belt or LUAS connectors as outlined in the user guide.
This photo demonstrates the location of the potentially missing screw(s)/nut(s) which are inserted into
both sides of the infant/child seat base joint connectors.
Inspect and confirm that both screws/nuts are present before un-installing the seat to replace any
missing screw(s)/nut(s).
If you experience a missing screw(s)/nut(s) in the BRITAX infant/child seats identified below, please contact the BRITAX Consumer Services Department at 888-427-4829. BRITAX will provide a kit which contains replacement screws/nuts and simple tools to install the missing screw(s)/nut(s).

Some pretty cool images have just surfaced from Ridley Scott's original (and traumatising) Alien, some 35 years after it was released in cinemas and changed the landscape of sci-fi-flavoured horror for ever. They're mostly of 7'2″ Nigerian actor Bolaji Badejo – who was immortalised as the man inside that suit – and a couple of FX tests, but the images really show off how well designed and realised that creature truly was. Enjoy.

text: MOVIES Live Free or Die 9:00 PM PDT 4/1/2007 by Frank Scheck , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty TWITTER Empty ThinkFilmNEW YORK -- Despite its similar title, no one is likely to confuse "Live Free or Die" with the upcoming installment in the Bruce Willis action movie franchise. This one-note comedy about a pair of hapless would-be criminals, written and directed by former "Seinfeld" scribes Gregg Kavet and Andy Robin, displays little of the comic spark of their previous work. The New Hampshire-set film is receiving a limited theatrical release, appropriately in New England. The film's title comes from the state motto, though it does little to set the tone for what follows. The story centers on John "Rugged" Rudgate (a charisma-free Aaron Stanford), a wannabe crook so scared to actually practice his craft that he buys the stereo speakers that he tells his customers are stolen. Spending his time on a variety of low-level scams like forging rebate coupons, he accidentally commits a crime for real when he poisons a guy who has been bullying him and the victim winds up dead. At the same time, he becomes involved with Lagrand (Paul Schneider, doing a bad Will Ferrell impersonation), a slow-witted childhood friend who admiringly believes that Rugged is the real criminal deal. There are some respectable performances by the supporting players, including Judah Friedlander as a profane store owner, Kevin Dunn as an exasperated sheriff, Michael Rapaport as a cop obsessed with his wife's possible infidelity and Zooey Deschanel as Lagrand's level-headed sister. The ramshackle screenplay never gathers any comic steam, and the directors' hapless execution removes the possibility of any real laughs. They were no doubt aiming to give the film a deadpan comic tone, but instead it is simply lifeless.

Incrementalism is Suicide
Any task, if its benefit to changing the status quo is only incremental, is a waste of time.
"The world is likely to build so many fossil-fuelled power stations, energy-guzzling factories and inefficient buildings in the next five years that it will become impossible to hold global warming to safe levels, and the last chance of combating dangerous climate change will be "lost for ever", according to the most thorough analysis yet of world energy infrastructure."
The only reasonable actions remaining to us are decisive, effective, and broad changes to business as usual. Symbolic victories or actions are idle wankery. They won't mean a thing when the world is going through severe destabilization. There is a tipping point beyond which everything we're working on now will get erased; we don't know exactly where this tipping point is but we're pretty sure it's really, really close.
There is no time left to "nudge" the industry (whatever industry we mean), or policy, or popular opinion. No time left to wheedle people or attempt to win hearts and minds. There is no time left for individual change, or education, or any of that to make an impact. They were reasonable actions twenty, thirty, forty years ago; now they mean nothing.
The only realistic options remaining to us are those that scale widely, are huge in scope, and can be implemented now.
If an action is not absolutely, completely radical in nature and conception there is no hope for it. The trajectory of civilization is insane: we're sucking down a Big Gulp of cyanide and just sucking harder and harder. We need radical, terrifying, horrible, blinding, outrageous action now.
Anything else is suicide.

Why am I just sitting here? Why am I staring at this stupid screen typing away when I could be out there doi
2 Responses to Incrementalism is Suicide
I disagree about incrementalism w/ important clarifications. Your cri de coeur expresses exactly the kind of panic that is so easy to fall into and that leads to supreme cognitive dissonance: Unless we act now all is lost, but we can't act now, therefore…a kind of shutdown of motivation and connection with one's purpose in life, right? This is precisely what I've been writing about overcoming. Overcoming it is absolutely crucial to feeling like you're accomplishing anything important at all when you're in front of your computer, like we all are right now, instead of being out in the streets. Don't get me wrong, we should be in the streets and in front of our computers and everywhere else we can make a difference.
I'm not against incrementalism across the board: incremental steps can often be the beginning of big scale change. What we need to fight against is greenwashing: incrementalism that replaces broad scale initiatives; incrementalism that masquerades as a real solution when it isn't; incrementalism that is single solution based and not whole system based: incrementalism that is no more than corporate pandering; and incrementalism whose only purpose is to protect the entrenched interests that are the real sources of our problems.
We can't base all our actions on global warming- it's too difficult to gauge our impact, especially if we've already tipped the tipping point- and this is still not well understood universally. We absolutely should continue to do all the things we can think of to combat global warming, we just have to understand that they will have different interactive, collateral benefits than we might have originally intended. This is OK-we have to get used to it. Even if climate change is severe and utterly out of our control (which is entirely possible), everything we're now doing to make the world more resilient, resource efficient, just, and verdant, will serve us well under the most extreme circumstances, and will also serve us well under circumstances less extreme. Life evolves to constantly survive even under the most adverse conditions.
We have to remember that there's no real downside to thinking, dreaming, and acting big, even while encountering and negotiating incrementalism in all its permutations. Messages that claim that things like environmental measures will be too expensive and will make the economy tank only come from entrenched interests- the facts are that they have been repeatedly proven wrong over history.
So really, there is a spiritual path in all of this, maybe it's the only path- it goes something like this: proceed ahead with all your fury, passion, skills, energy, hoplessness, nudging, radical action, and intellect, and find a way to let them all coexist in one brain. Evolve beyond hope and fear. Embrace the new world order even if you don't fully understand it- and we probably can't understand it yet, but we sure know it's already here. Leading by thinking, writing, and viralizing discourse is as important as building things- sometimes more important.
