Earlier this year, I proposed that the Sunset Limited be transfered to a consortium by an act of Congress. I will now expand on that idea by stating that there would be significant changes so that this route doesn't interfere with Amtrak's plan to combine the Sunset Limited and the Texas Eagle into a daily train between Chicago and Los Angeles and convert the San Antonio-New Orleans segment to a standalone daytime train.
Without further adieu, here is what will make a daily Sunset different from what Amtrak is proposing:
- The new route will be restructured to be a daily route between Phoenix and Orlando
- New and rehabilitated stations will be served along the line
- The new Sunset will be part of a public-private partnership
- There would be a marketing organization that will handle all promotion of the route
The rehabbed Sunset Limited--or Desert Limited if Amtrak retains the Sunset name--will serve Phoenix, giving that city its first regularly scheduled passenger service since the Union Pacific's purchase of Southern Pacific in 1996 forced Amtrak to use a southern route via Maricopa. The Phoenix location will serve as a precursor to regional rail service in Arizona, and it will be the temporary western terminus until the out of service SP tracks are restored. Once the tracks are modernized, the Desert Limited will be extended to Los Angeles. A side benefit will include the implementation of a complementary corridor connecting L.A. with Nogales.
When it comes to the stations, the New Sunset will serve Phoenix's historic Union Station, the Union Terminal in Jacksonville, and the planned Sunrail station in downtown Orlando as ways of standing out from Amtrak. Also, Phoenix Union Station will serve as a placeholder for all trains until a system is built up. Once that happens, overnight service will be shifted to a new station at Sky Harbor International Airport, leaving Union Station as the place to be for commuter and intrastate express trains.
The PPP idea stems from what is currently taking place in Germany. A joint UK-US venture called Locomore will launch an express route between Hamburg and Cologne next April. If Congress wants to the public sector to play a limited role in rail travel, a Sunset Limited PPP is the way to go because public-private partnership can do wonders for this country. As a matter of fact, we got a possible demonstration of that last fall when Seattle-based Cascadia Center for Regional Development took apart the flawed Amtrak report on the Pioneer, provided its own analysis, and talked to a private operator who could run the train for considerably less than what the national carrier is asking for.
Needless to say, Congress would have to compensate the three Class I carriers for having a second passenger operator on their rails, but it can be done. Aside from the hosts, residents in Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida's panhandle would benefit because they would have their route restored, leading to complementary daytime service and corridor development along the line. Amtrak would also win because they would no longer have to deal with the missing link, and it could focus on other matters.A standalone Sunset Limited organization could even handle marketing by indicating various points of interest. Partnerships with hotels, airports, cities, and local and national landmarks can also abound. A Sunset PPP can spark other organizations like the CCRD to develop PPP routes for other overnight service that Amtrak axed. It is not far-fetched to imagine an independent Desert Wind Organization providing route information for people who want to travel between the Midwest and the western United States.

Thanks for your patience! Instructor Nick Stiller is back in Kingdom and giving lessons, and DAHA is expecting a new female instructor to arrive in April. While Nick is currently very booked for lesson times and there is a waiting list for lessons, it is time to release the list of horses available for sale and/or lease. As a buyer/leasor, you are encouraged by DAHA to seek professional advice before committing to a new horse. Please be sure it is a good match of horse and rider!
*****DAHA is not responsible for the accuracy of the below information on horses, and is not liable for any incidents that arise through sale/lease transactions. This list is provided as a service to the membership, and not an endorsement.*****
Please see the list of horses below, and PLEASE CONTACT THE OWNER/AGENT DIRECTLY: do not reply to this email. As a reminder: if you decide to go forward in purchasing a horse, PLEASE fill out a transfer form available here (http://www.dhahranarabianhorseassociation.com/transfer-horse-ownership.html)and drop it in the blue box!

And lastly, as of February I am no longer an owner of a horse at the Hobby Farm. Since per DAHA's constitution all board members must also be a horse owner at the Farm, Morag Dunlop has agreed to fill in as DAHA Secretary for the remainder of this term. Thanks for your support!

Cheri: Based on the novel by Colette
Movie Review
"Cheri", based on the novel with the same title authored by Colette and released in 2009, is a very unique French romance story. It shows the courtesan lifestyle and how difficult it was for these women. Compared to most films released by the French film industry, this one had a good plot and subplot plus very little nudity. I am certain the book this movie was based on was much bawdier. I appreciated the tastefulness that went into the creation of this more American version that was obviously made with American tastes in mind. Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates, as usual, do not disappoint with their flawless and skilled performances. Their roles were obviously difficult, yet they seemed to do them easily, and are very strong female ones. Director Stephen Frear, cast and crew created a masterpiece that transports the viewer back to the early 1900's.
"Cheri" takes place in France, mostly Paris. It begins with a little history lesson of how the courtesans managed to gain wealth and a certain measure of influence upon the political scene in Europe. This history lesson is done humorously and gradually introduces the main character that this film is mostly about, Lea de Lonval (Michelle Pfeiffer), a wealthy courtesan who has had a good long run in her profession, but knows soon she will have to retire because she is over thirty. Lea does not have any friends outside of the courtesan social circle. "Cheri" points out how even though these women are competitive in this very ancient profession, they have a certain friendship, are as close-knit as a family. They look out for one another, even though they do not really like each other. This closeness is why Madame Charlotte Peloux (Kathy Bates), an older and retired courtesan enlists the aid of Lea de Lonval for the cleaning up of Charlotte's pampered bohemian nineteen year old son (played by Rupert Friend) who is on the verge of ruining his health because of alcohol and opium. Lea, who has always been fond of Charlotte's son, and when he was a child Lea had nicknamed Charlotte's son Cheri which means "friend or dear" in French, decides to help by using unorthodox methods and taking Cheri to her country resort type place that Lea is very fond of residing. This leads to a six year affair with Cheri. Madame Peloux does not have a problem with this for she trusts Lea and wants Lea to teach Cheri how to get a long with and be kind to a woman as well as clean up his bohemian ways in order to become suitable for matrimony.
At the end of the six years, Lea and Cheri return to Paris, still living together. Cheri now is completely off of opium and not the pampered bohemian he once was. His health is excellent. Lea owns an elegant residence in Paris, France. Madame Charlotte Peloux finds Cheri a "perfect match" who is a little younger, but close to Cheri's age, and arranges for the two of them to be married. Charlotte wants grandchildren. She believes her son is ready to wed the beautiful eighteen year old virgin Edmee (Felicity Jones) who is the daughter of a wealthy courtesan and friend of both Lea and Charlotte. Edmee had been raised very protectively and her mother, Marie-Laure (Iben Hjejle), kept her daughter away from the courtesan world by enrolling Edmee into a respectable boarding school throughout her minor years. Marie-Laure wanted her daughter to marry wealthy and be respectable, not become trapped into the vocation of a courtesan. Unfortunately for Lea and Cheri, after living together for 6 years, they both realize they have deep feelings for each other. Lea knows they should not. She agrees Cheri should marry, insists upon it. She points out to Cheri the difference in their ages and explains how Cheri needs to experience life, his youth, with someone closer to his age. Cheri, now twenty-five, marries Edmee out of obligation for the arrangement between their mothers, and to move up the social ladder respectably in French society.
Cheri's marrying, prompts Lea into leaving Paris. Lea does not tell any one where, keeps it a secret, but hints she has a new client primarily to fend off her very curious friends. Charlotte is happy for Lea and feels Lea is doing right by moving onward with her life. Charlotte believes this will grant Cheri and Edmee room for their marriage to blossom. This disappearance of Lea's, however, forces Cheri to face his very deep feelings for Lea. Cheri finds himself realizing how difficult matrimony truly is; especially when one does not marry for love, but for a better station in society. The rest of the movie goes back and forth between Lea and Cheri depicting their misery because of their love for one another, but the rightness of Cheri devoting his life to his wife and being away from Lea.
"Cheri" is 1 hour and 33 minutes in length. The R rating is due to subject matter as well as the little nudity displayed. This is definitely a French adult themed movie; not recommended for minors. "Cheri" is on DVD. The little bit of history that is in this movie is fictionalized, but has the French society mind-set of the early 1900's down pat. Recommend viewing if you like Kathy Bates, Michelle Pfeiffer, or European and Indy Films.

Would you pay $315 to find out how high you soared on the court?
The best answer may be that Nike didn't become a sporting goods dynasty by making a lot of sneakers that don't sell.
The LeBron X Nike Plus will likely be no exception. Even with a pricetag expected to push through the $300 barrier for the first time in sneaker history. Even with a flood of indignation and outrage on the Internet and social media before the first pair hits the display rack.
That was ignited Tuesday by a Wall Street Journal story about the rising cost of sneakers that said the premium version of the latest LeBron James basketball shoe is expected to retail for $315.
Nike, in a statement, said it has not set a price, though it has showcased the shoe on its website with a teaser about the high-tech features built into the sole.
The Nike+ Basketball technology uses motion sensors that will track and measure performance, such as how fast the wearer moves, distance traveled and height of jumps, which can be accessed by an app on a smartphone.
Already the National Urban League has weighed in with a protest, calling for parents to resist spending on such an "empty status symbol."
Marc Morial, president of the civil rights organization, said in a statement: "To release such an outrageously overpriced product while the nation is struggling to overcome an unemployment crisis is insensitive at best."
Meanwhile, the pricy shoe provides fodder for LeBron haters who have otherwise been silenced by his MVP performance in the Heat's championship run and the gold-medal effort with Team USA in London.
James debuted the LeBron X Nike in the Olympic final victory over Spain. It should be noted that the standard model he wore, sans technology, will be the initial release of the shoe this fall, retailing for $180, Nike said.
That is $10 more than his LeBron 9 signature shoe that came out last year. The premium version, the LeBron 9 PS Elite, goes for $250, including gold swoosh.
Nike also offers the LeBron Zoom Soldier basketball shoe for $120 and the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse for $110.
Nike is raising prices on all of its apparel 5 to 10 percent, citing the rising cost of materials and labor costs in China. Other manufacturers, including Adidas, are doing likewise.
Despite the spike in prices over the past year, sales of basketball shoes costing more than $100 were up 50 percent, according to SportsOneSource.
But will a $300 sneaker fly in a troubled economy?
The LeBron X Nike Plus will be a limited edition of about 50,000 pairs. There is a niche market out there unfazed by the price, as indicated by a comment on the forum of SoleCollector.com:
"A shoe like that is not meant for everybody. It IS a luxury to have. For myself, I'd rather enjoy the luxuries of having a dope, basketball shoe over owning any type of Gucci, LV or even Yeezy shoe 100% of the time."
A different view from the marketplace was among the comments at LebronJames.com:
"How about u call nike and tell the to lower the ridiculous and crazy price on your new shoes coming out...We ain't rich like u."
Ultimately, the market will provide the answer as to what features are vital in a sneaker. The old-school method for finding out how high one jumped was a mark on the wall and a tape measure.
As for concern about parents being pressured into shelling out for a supposed must-have luxury item, there was an old-school answer to that as well. Simply stated: "No."

Sydney International Spa & Beauty Expo 2012 haul
The expo was held at the Exhibition Centre at Darling Harbour and it was massive - 3 huge halls filled with beauty goodness! It was so awesome discovering lots of new brands.
What I got!
nails inc. Sprinkles!!! I've been wanting these for sooooooo long and I succumbed. The deal was just too good to pass up! I got sweets way, topping lane and pudding lane.
I can never go past glitter so I had to pick up Nicole by OPI Let's Get Star-ted! and Honey-Dew You Love Me?.
Some nail art supplies! A 3D acrylic mold, dappen dish, dropper, tweezers and different shaped dazzlings.
I've wanted a nail polish display for ages and I finally got one! I'm using it to display polishes I need to swatch and it looks great on my desk ;) This one is supposed to hold 24 bottles but because some of the bottles are smaller it holds more.
I was hoping Dermalogica would be selling more stuff but alas they only sold a few items. I still managed to pick up one of my HG products the Daily Microfoliant. I love the stuff! It makes my skin as smooth as a baby's bottom LOL.
I'm nearing 30 (OMG!) so I'm getting into anti-ageing products. I came across these Cupron wrinkle reducing products and thought I'd give it a try. I picked up the Clinical Value pack which contains the Clinical Cosmetic Pillow Case, Eye Shades and Gloves.
I hope you've all been well! Posting will continue to be a bit sporadic unfortunately. Thanks for looking as always!
I attended the expo as a guest of the PR company.
6 comments:
Oh so jealous of the Nails Inc goodies! They look absolutely gorgeous! :)ReplyDelete
I LOVE NAILS INC! ever since I tried their polishes from Ozsale XD although I should get onto swatching them etc. (uber behind! ^_^)ReplyDelete

Looks like so much fun!
Lovely choices 'chelle! Do you know where are Nails Inc selling in Australia - online only or in stores?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks lovely!! I tried to be good and only got a few things even though I wanted a million more LOL.Delete
They'll be selling in-store at selected stores and online too I think but unfortunately I still don't know exact stockists. They couldn't tell me just yet which stores unfortunately when I went to the nails inc event but I'll email the PR and report back!! ;)
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and comment! I love reading your feedback and suggestions and truly appreciate each and every comment. I try to respond to all my questions as soon as I can in the comments so make sure to check back later.

Behind Enemy Lines: Fulham
AFTER a frustrating 0-0 draw on Tuesday night where they had the better of the chances against Hull, the Lions head into this derby still looking for their first away win of the season.
Last weekend's 2-2 draw at Sunderland was arguably the closest to that Neil Harris' men have come, and they know that those first three points on the road need to come sooner rather than later.
Harris couldn't ask for a better Championship fixture for his players to be fired up for as he takes his squad across the Thames to West London to face Fulham.
The early season promotion favourites have not lived up to expectations so far, but a thrilling 5-4 win over Sheffield United in midweek will certainly give them confidence.
Seventeen-year-old full-back turned winger Ryan Sessegnon got a hat trick against the Blades, and he is certainly a player Millwall will have to nullify if they are to take three points back to The Den from Craven Cottage.
Lucas Ball spoke to Cottagers fan James Andrew this week.
Twitter: @JamesAndrew_
Why do you support Fulham?
They were the closest club to where I was born. I was born in Hammersmith and lived nearby and back then that sort of thing seemed to matter when picking a team. Not so much now.
There was something about Fulham that made me want to support them. It was the early 90s so it certainly wasn't anything on the pitch! But I've been lucky, there have been more ups than downs in my time as a Fulham fan.
What's your favourite season supporting Fulham?
I'm sure the vast majority of fans would go for the season we got to the Europa League final in 2009-10 – and that was a great season.
But 2000-01 holds a special place for me, the season under Jean Tigana when we won promotion from Division One to the Premier League. The team, the style of play, everything made that such a memorable season. That answer may change to 'next season' if we were to go and do the same again.
After an exciting win in midweek, do you expect your boys to be more up for this one?
I'd be worried if the team were not up for any game they play this season, especially a London derby. But hopefully a win like that will give them confidence after a run of disappointing results.
What are your expectations for the season given the current position?
It's going to be tough to match what we did last season. I know people say this every season, but the Championship really is a tough league.
And this season I don't see any teams running away with it, or getting cut adrift at the bottom, so anyone can beat anyone. If Fulham could get themselves in the top half and in touching distance of the top six by Easter then they may have a chance. But for that to happen they have to start winning games at home.
Who will be Fulham's danger men?
After his midweek hat-trick against Sheffield United, Ryan Sessegnon should be full of confidence and his pace will always frighten defenders.
But Tom Cairney is the man who makes Fulham tick. He has been injured for a lot of the season, but he's back now and hopefully that will give the players a lift.
Which Lions players will you have to watch out for?
George Saville seems to be in good form at the moment, his two goals last week (albeit slightly fortuitous) along with his debut for Northern Ireland will surely give him some confidence.
What's your predicted Fulham line-up and formation?
I suspect there may be a few changes from midweek, but I'll go for this:
Button; Fredericks, Ream, Kalas, Odoi; Johansen, McDonald; Ojo, Cairney, Sessegnon; Fonte
Finally, a score prediction?
Despite our poor form at home, I've got to back Fulham to win, but we will concede. So, I'll go Fulham 3-1 Millwall.

[:en]This summer in Museum Kampa was open 7+1 Masters of Czech glass exhibition which is showing the works of Czech artist from the second half of 20th century, who contributed to the emancipation of glass as a sovereign material of free artistic creation.
At the exhibition, we can see amazing space installations and sculptures made of glass which are connections of light and fragile and at the same time heavy and solid. The atmosphere of the exhibition is special because we can feel great ambition of that time and dedication to this unique material, treated in so many different ways.
Presented works are created by eight Czech artists: Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová, René Roubíček, Věra Lišková, Jiří Harcuba, Václav Cigler, Vladimír Kopecký and Miluše Roubíčková.
The exhibition is open until 28.09.2016.
Beside this currently, in the museum, there are more great exhibitions from which I would set aside:
MUNCH KUPKA KOKOSCHKA … / Corporeality 1890-1921
The exhibition presents the works of Edvard Munch, Oskar Kokoschka, Jan Štursa, Auguste Rodin, Miloš Jirtánek, Bohumil Kubišta and others. The main subject of this exhibition is the manner in which the human body was depicted at the end of the 19th century and first twenty years of 20th century.
It is open until 11.09.2016.
Jiří Bielecki / Suspension
Surface, space, geometric forms. Bielecki was the painter, graphic artist and creator of objects whose art was reductive oriented. His work was in line with Op art, Concrete art, Minimalism and Kinetic art. He was one of the first members of Concretists' club. The exhibition in Museum Kampa focuses on his creative period from the second half of the sixties and early seventies and its open until 28.09.2016.[:cs]Toto léto Muzeum Kampa otevřelo výstavu 7+1 Mistři českého skla. Výstava ukazuje díla českých umělců z druhé poloviny 20. století, kteří přispěli k emancipaci skla jako uznávaného materiálu pro uměleckou tvorbu.

Category: Chucky Costumes
40+ Hair-Raising Homemade Chucky Costumes That'll Freak You Out!
For all you horror fans out there, these homemade Chucky costumes will have passersby freaking out. Especially if you've dressed up your little child as Chucky. And, they're holding a big knife that's dripping with blood.
Chucky, known as "The Lakeshore Strangler" in the Child's Play horror series, is one of the most recognizable horror icons. And since horror and Halloween go together hand in hand, Chucky costumes are a very popular choice. Some Moms dress up their kids as Chucky and even go that extra mile, dressing up themselves as Bride of Chucky. The duo is also a great couple costume for any age, and even easy to make.
So get a hold of some fake blood, maybe a few latex scars, a kitchen knife, and red spray for the hair. Make a "Good Guys" overall and you're ready for some Halloween scaring.

Back in August 4, 2009, LinkedIn for the first time placed a restriction on the number of LinkedIn Groups once can join. The official E-Mail that I received at the time looked like this:
"We are in the process of adding new functionality to enhance the experience of Groups, including the recent release of a searchable directory. We are also working with our development teams to bring new tools and widgets to this collaborative space throughout the rest of 2008. We are also at this time making some changes to the user-created groups we host. These changes include adding a limit to the number of user-created groups any LinkedIn member may be part of at one time. Currently we are setting that limit at membership in 50 (fifty) user-created groups."

That restriction of 50 groups held for more than six years, but back in the fall of 2015 LinkedIn announced a number of enhancements to LinkedIn Groups, one of them including raising the maximum number of LinkedIn Groups one can join from 50 to 100.
Back in 2009, I write that I personally have no problem with this policy, because whether its 50 or 100, there are plenty of groups to join and LinkedIn members to engage with. If you felt limited by the past limitation of 50 groups, feel free to celebrate and join more! Either way, as opposed to liking Facebook Pages or joining Facebook Groups, LinkedIn does have this limitation, so please be aware of it.
(Additional Thoughts)
Since I wrote the above post there have been many loyal and hardcore LinkedIn members who have cried about this limitation, but combined with the new Search capabilities and Discussion boards, I believe it is now much easier to find, join, and communicate within groups. If you really think about what your objectives are in joining, and you look at membership numbers as well as each group's objective, you should be able to easily narrow down your membership numbers as I have.

For instance, there is a Gmail users group…do you intend to connect with other Gmail users to exchange information or do you just want access to a group with large membership numbers? If you are looking for membership numbers, just enter the search button on Group Search with an empty text box and you can confirm what the most popular ones are in descending order of membership. Until now you had no idea of how many people were in each group until joining, and even then your search results were limited to 500. So thank you LinkedIn for this additional functionality!!!

Trying to stick to a tight wedding budget can be difficult. There are so many things to buy, including the outfits, decorations and paying for services like the venue and photography. To keep the cost down, you may start looking for wedding dresses online. This is perfectly acceptable but there is some risk. It is important to follow a few general guidelines to get the dress of your dreams.
Order Well In Advance
Don't leave ordering a wedding gown to the last minute, especially when buying online. Even if there is a 24 hour delivery policy, you need to factor in things like alterations and making sure the quality is as you expected. Allow at least three months for the dress to reach your own destination, so you can try it on and have time to have it altered or repaired if there is a problem.
Do Your Research Into the Company
It's also important that you do your research into any company that sells wedding dresses online. The prices are often dream prices but that doesn't mean the quality will work out that way. Check reviews from previous customers and ask plenty of questions to the site owners to make sure you get exactly what you are ordering.
There will likely be a mixture of negative and positives; no company is loved by every single customers. However, check into the details of all reviews. You need to know why the customers choose to leave something positive or negative. This will usually cover delivery time, customer service and payment options, as well as the quality of the wedding gown available.
Measure Yourself Before Buying
When you buy from a store, you have the luxury of trying on the wedding gown. When you buy online, that isn't possible. You have to hope that you get the size right or just slightly bigger. Always take measurements and then use the sizing guide on the website - the majority have them - to determine the best size for your needs.
Buy the Next Size Up
It is always worth buying anything in the size up from your usual size. You want it to fit perfectly on the day and it is easier to have a dress taken in than trying to add material to it. Once you order the dress, find a reputable seamstress or tailor in your area who will be able to do the alterations at a reasonable cost.
There are high chances that buying wedding dresses online and then having them altered to fit perfectly is still cheaper than buying the same design from a bridal boutique. Of course, it is worth pricing up your options. That way you find the option that works to your wedding budget perfectly.
Buying wedding dresses on the internet is no longer the taboo subject that it was once upon a time. Many brides now do it to keep their costs down. However, you need to make sure your dress is perfect for your needs, which means following the guidelines above and thinking carefully about your purchase.

That pt. 2
i remember he told me...calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down
ya,god forgets my soul when im doing bad
the pain im feeling when living life too fast
so calm down with the words that i heard last
my ear drums are still numb from the first blast
i couldnt turn back past the grave into my head for the dead
putting ash in graves
and i smoke with the spirit so feel me rise
over clouds for now up until we die, its like that
i set off through the star spangle
looking for a light to guide me to an angel
gotta be smart and hide behind all the answers
when everythings dark my heart is full of anger
i rather be a bull for a day than a goat forever
my life is a joke so whatever
man prime time reason and rhyme, you know the rhyme be the reason
sling shots and chuck taylors, its the season
there is no state of the art or no special effects
its just money, politics, and these projects
can you imagine yo a playboy thats kickin it live
but in his own damn mind yo hes doin time
now thats deeper than the craters on the moon
crushin up weed in the back dressing room
i hate to be greedy but i love to be greedy
i hope the little god love me but dont be me
i do it like a gene, blaze in a beenie
life time kahn tracking no you cant free me, queezy
ya we live and die its all for the cash flow
dont give replies, im high and we act cold
i dont know why i couldnt explain
lost focus of the love in the innocent way, live for today
hey im escape to the music, to try to make up for all the wrong that im doin
i swear i know better, but so far gone
and no gaurd hear the cry out in every song
its upon everybody through moods of stars
rise and fall im there with my open arms
man its such a rush that i get when the money is spent and all the dope is lit
man this is how i repent, i keep a devils eye on tigas that spit to gip[?]
and is it true when the afta like the souls a drip
thats kamakazi logic, man the ghetto is the topic
you trying to cop it, you gotta sell it then you drop it
its like its hot cause if its not then the plot starts to thicken
im sorry but moneys a religion, fly like a pigeon
man whats your decision? the homies is waiting in the filmoe division
rap like living, fast cars driven, its something like prison
but this is how we listen, listen

As some of you may know, the LG G2 is getting KitKat on AT&T right now. But what about the other carriers? Well so far, we have no idea about Sprint and Verizon, but the T-Mobile update is sitting on LG's servers ready to go. Now, the last update that the T-Mobile LG G2 got, sat on the LG server for a good month before T-Mobile pushed it out. So it may be a bit before we see the official OTA. But don't fret, we know exactly how to flash the OTA onto your device. It's simple as can be actually.
First of all, you'll need to download the LG Mobile Support Tool. Next, you'll want to plug-in your LG G2 to your computer. You'll want to be sure it has your devices drivers installed. Once those are installed, it should say you have an update, and just follow the on-screen instructions to download and update your LG G2. Depending on your internet connection, it may take a while to download the update. Once it's downloaded it will start to install it on your device, so it's important that you do not unplug it. A few minutes later, you should be all set! And you'll have Android 4.4.2.
A few notes to point out here. You will need to be stock. You will more than likely lose root, and it appears that there is no exploit to root the LG G2 on T-Mobile just yet. Additionally, you will not lose your data. I was able to update my LG G2 earlier today using the LG Mobile Support Tool and had no issues with losing data at all.
This is the final build, so you don't need to worry about this being a leak or anything unstable. I've been using it most of the day and it's pretty good. It's even faster than the G2 was on Jelly Bean, which is kind of insane. If you have any issues, feel free to leave a comment down below.

Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins
This Monday I will be another year older. I am slowly leaving the 'mid-20's' and heading towards 30. Wow, just writing that is scary. Me? 30? It just doesn't seem right. I still feel like I'm 18, well maybe not in the energetic-sense, but the maturity-sense. I think what I'm trying to get at is I still want to be immature and care free, and stay out to 3am like I use to, and not feel like death the next day. Maybe.
Those days are gone. Now it's all about bills, and more bills, and oh wait, what do I see there – another bill. I'm whinging. I shouldn't be. I'm actually very lucky and am enjoying a great time in my life! If it only weren't for the tired part.
You'll probably listen to me rant on about this again on Monday. For now, I'll break and tell you about these awesome little muffins I made lately.
These come from Donna Hay's book Simple Essentials - Chocolate, and they are very quick and easy to make. The best part about them is you can freeze them and pop them in the microwave and they taste even better! These aren't those fluffy, big style muffins, but muffins which have a nice crisp top and a delicate stump.
Just like all muffins, these are best eaten straight away, but don't despair, a quick zip in the microwave and they just as good again.
Recipe from Donna Hay
Recipe from Donna Hay
2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
¾ cup caster sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
1 cup chopped white chocolate (or white chocolate buttons)
Extra sugar
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
In a large bowl, sift the flour and sugar and mix. In another bowl, add the sour cream, eggs, lemon ring and oil, and mix until combined. Stir the wet mix into the flour. Fold through the raspberries and white chocolate, and spoon the mix evenly into a muffin tin, with or without paper cases. If not using paper cases, grease the muffin tin well. Sprinkle a little of the extra sugar on top on the muffins, and bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until cooked.
Makes 8 large or 12 medium.

Basis is a health tech start-up based in San Francisco that developed a fitness and sleep tracker. My team worked on the web application, and I created all of the interactive charts, which were built with D3.js. The charts ranged from line and bar charts to hypnograms and heat maps.
The hypnograms displayed a person's light, deep, and REM sleep cycles, as well as when they tossed and turned. The entire chart was a hot spot and users could mouse over the chart to see more details.

Fraud is a year-round problem for retail finance organisations. As a Senior Best Practice Manager for Cifas, I work closely with our retail members and see every week the fraudulent activity they have to deal with – activity that Cifas helps them combat.
As Black Friday and Cyber Monday approach, retail companies will see a step-up in fraudulent activity. Fraud goes up relative to the volume of applications for products – more applications means more fraud. So what can retailers do to prepare themselves for the higher risk of fraud during these peak shopping periods?
Our retail members tell us that fraud MOs (modus operandi) don't really change during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which is great – the tools available to spot and prevent fraudulent activity are already in place. But there are things that retailers should look out for.
The main type of fraud that retail members file to our databases is identity fraud, which is often difficult to spot. The fraudster will have spent time obtaining personal details, whether through social engineering, phishing or buying the information online. Their application, for all intents and purposes, will look like it's genuine when the checks are carried out because there's a financial footprint for that individual at the property.
But retailers can deploy a range of fraud tools to spot this kind of activity. They might use email address validation or bank verification, which can flag suspicious activity. Then searching the Cifas databases can throw up more corroboration that an application might be of 'high fraud risk', as details from it might have been seen by another organisation, from the retail or another sector. All of these fraud tools help to increase the lines of defence a retail finance provider has against fraud.
Retail members tell me there's very little deviation in the types of fraud during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but they do face more challenges around delivery and courier networks. These companies are under pressure at this time of year, and often employ temporary staff. Online orders will be targeted by fraudsters looking to exploit the pressure on the courier network – a courier driver with a large workload might be happy to offload a parcel to somebody purporting to be the genuine customer.
We hear stories from retail members describing fraudsters attending properties themselves. Say a fraudster has obtained my personal information using social engineering tactics and submits a finance application to a retail finance provider for an iPhone. I'm none the wiser that my details have been used, but a courier will knock on my door and deliver a parcel addressed to me. Two minutes later, I'll get another knock on the door and be faced with somebody else dressed in a high visibility jacket saying they're aware of an iPhone having been delivered in error or fraudulently. I hand the parcel over and they walk away with it.
This is what's known in the retail sector as 'high vis fraud', and there's even been cases of fraudsters threatening violence to get the victim to hand over the goods – they're under a lot of pressure to get hold of the product and then turn it into cash.
In a way, the weakness lies in the fraudster exploiting the victim's trust, because, through no fault of their own, they're completely unaware of that individual being a fraudster, who has used their identity to place the order. It's very difficult to prevent, so you've got to rely on all the fraud tools at the beginning of the process, and try and prevent the fraud happening in the first place.
Retail members also report instances of the delivery and courier drivers themselves being complicit in the fraudulent activity. As courier companies hire temporary staff during busy times, this brings an increased risk of a delivery being in the hands of a complicit driver if they are not properly vetted.
The type of products that are typically targeted at this time of year tend to be those that a fraudster can quickly convert into cash: desirable items such as cameras, mobile phones, games consoles, tablets. Plus, anything which is really popular over the Christmas period. This year's Christmas trend is likely to be bikes and quad bikes, according to one of our members.
I've spoken to a number of retail organisations to find out what makes them a bit more suspicious of an application, both during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and the rest of the year. You should be wary of:
One of our members advised that retailers should resource for the increase in volume during this period. Fraudsters know that teams are going to be under pressure and, potentially, fraud rules could be relaxed in order to cope with the strain of genuine customers coming through. They know that mistakes can be made and will see if they can exploit them.
Another member warned that retailers need to be prepared for Internet-enabled crimes, such as a DoS (denial-of-service) attack on their systems. There is an increased risk of this during a busy period like Black Friday and Cyber Monday as fraudsters know there's a chance you will pay a ransom to stop your business being stalled. You'll be focused on driving sales and preventing fraud, but are you thinking about the internal risk of a colleague opening a ransomware email? The key thing is to assume that you will receive such an attack and be prepared for that.
Educating your staff is one key way to prepare – they are the frontline of your defence, so make sure they are aware of the threats your organisation faces from both cyber-enabled criminal activity and from fraudsters trying to exploit the busy period, such as calling in to the contact centre to make last minute changes to orders.
Another challenge retail finance providers face is that sometimes they don't have control over what courier is used. Some of our members operate retail finance for a number of different retailers and those retailers choose the courier. This means retail finance providers have less control over the delivery journey, as each courier may operate in a slightly different way, leading to fraud exposure and ultimately goods being delivered to a fraudulent address.
I would encourage all finance providers to work with their retailers and in turn, work with their couriers to ensure any fraud exposure is reduced. Where courier drivers are found to be complicit, ensure the police are engaged – one or our members confirms this approach does act as a deterrent, as the fraudsters know you aren't an easy target should they be caught.
One final bit of advice would be to try and ensure your customers know what to expect from you and how you do things. One of our members carries out awareness campaigns with their customers, and we would encourage all retailers to have clear messaging about what they will and will not do. You see a similar sort of thing in the banking industry where they tell customers they won't ask for your card details over the phone. The more educated customers are, the less likely they are to fall victim to fraudulent activity.

Following the November 8th elections, our panel discussed their impact on American education, from a number of different points on the political spectrum and a variety of policy perspectives on American education.Co-sponsored by the Shanker Institute and the American Federation of Teachers.Watch the video.
Sponsored by the Albert Shanker Institute and the American Federation of Teachers, this conversation series held the second Wednesay of the month during the school year, is designed to engender lively and informative discussions on important educational issues. Watch the videos from the last three seasons.
Most students who immigrate to the United States enter our schools as English language learners (ELLs). These students face the challenge of simultaneously learning a new language and the same subject material as students for whom English is the native language, while struggling to adapt to a new, often alien culture. Few groups are more poorly served by our schools. The divisive, hateful rhetoric of racial, ethnic and religious bigotry that has been unleashed in the current presidential election campaign has increased the obstacles faced by these students, and left them shaken and unsure about their place in American society. What is the appropriate response of American educators to this critical situation? What must be done to provide English language learners with the quality education that addresses their specific needs? What pedagogical strategies best meet the needs of English Language Learners? What must be done to provide students with a pathway to citizenship and full incorporation into American society? How should educators confront expressions of prejudice and bigotry against immigrant students and other English language learners? Our panel will address these and other questions from different vantage points and experiences.Speakers include: Steven Choi, Executive Director, The New York Immigration Coalition and Joe Luft, Executive Director, Internationals Network for Public Schools, Inc. Watch the video.
Co-sponsored by the Albert Shanker Institute & the Jewish Labor Committee. The distinguished speakers discuss the current international refugee crisis and draw historical parallels with the anti-refugee sentiments in the World War II era. More information and video here.
May 11, 2016. When the first collective bargaining agreements in American education were negotiated a half century ago, they were largely focused on wages, working conditions and due process. School district officials resisted the inclusion of educational issues as encroachments on "management prerogatives." Meanwhile, the fledging teacher unions modelled themselves after progressive unions, such as the United Auto Workers and the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, using industrial-style contracts as a template for their own collective bargaining. But the democratic idea that teachers should have a collective voice in their educational workplace could not be contained within such limited parameters. For a generation, teacher unions have struggled, with increasing success, to expand collective bargaining into the professional sphere. Our panel will investigate some of the most promising efforts on that front around the country, as teacher unions find new ways to negotiate contracts for educational innovation and improvement and build new partnerships with community around that work. Watch the video.
Controversial new regulations for teacher education have been proposed by the U.S. Ed Dept. Although there are objections to the regulations, the controversy centers on the proposed measures of teaching performance -- student test scores, as seen through the prism of value-added measurements, and surveys. Are there better alternatives? Can they be replicated at scale? Given the need for teacher ed schools to prepare teachers to do well from day one, what is the best way to ensure that all teacher prep programs are of the highest quality? Wed., April 13, noon to 2:00 pm. Watch the video.
The notion that teaching and learning are social endeavors may seem obvious. Yet, the implications of that statement for research, policy and practice are less so. This conference foregrounds recent evidence showing that social aspects of schools and school systems deeply influence school improvement. The conference will also encourage in-depth debate on the practical implications of this evidence. Watch the videos here.

If China Did Not Exist
What if China did not exist?
This question has came up after collecting data with another intention in mind. We started by looking at people's outfits, the country they were made in, the country they bought them in, and the journey this outfit went through.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of the garments were made in China! This triggered the idea: lets strip people of those items, lets see a world that's not made in China.
The project intends to provoke to thinking in depth about the clothes we are wearing, and the products we are using on daily basis.

ERCA is widely recognized for its forestry program. Since our inception, we've planted more than 6 million trees in the Essex Region. Trees provide natural habitat for wildlife, protect soil from eroding, and improve water quality. Trees can improve home values, and if planted in strategic locations, can reduce heating and cooling requirements. Projects can range from 1 acre in size to much larger restoration projects. Qualifying landowners can also purchase trees each spring to plant themselves, or consider our full service program.
ERCA has a comprehensive Landowner Grant Program to assist landowners with between 75% and 90% of project costs.
Spring 2020 Tree Program
ERCA is able to help you reforest or plant more trees on your property through our Seedling Program. The program typically consists of of 1 and 2-year-old seedlings that are either bare roots or come in a plug of soil around their roots.
Large Stock
If you are interested in planting larger trees on your property, then the Spring Large Stock Program may be for you. ERCA offers 175 to 200cm tall native hardwood trees and 40 to 120cm tall evergreens and potted native shrubs.
FREE Tree Planting Workshop

This option itself does not configure any specific object synchronisation actions, but instead can be considered a global on/off switch for all object synchronisation actions.
To enable Object Synchronisation for an Instance:
- Navigate to the relevant level in the instance hierarchy.
- Click on the Settings tab to view the instance policy.
- Click on the "Instance Management" sub-tab and locate the "Sync SQL Server HA/DR Objects" heading.
- Set "Enable Object Synronization" option to on.
This will enable object level synchronisation to occur, if individual object synchronisation settings have been configured. Please see the related topics below to enable synchronisation of specific object types.

Your Safety
Did you know automotive glass plays a critical role in the structural integrity of your vehicle? Or in the event of a rollover your windshield is what supports the roof and prevents it from crushing you? If your windshield is cracked or improperly installed it can quickly weaken or "pop out" when the passenger side airbag deploys during a collision, thus making the airbag unsafe and incapable of protecting the occupants. Today vehicle manufacturers are designing automobiles with more glass than ever. That's why the importance of a safe installation and adhering to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards could save your life.
There are four Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) that apply to auto glass and to your safety.
1. FMVSS 205 "Glazing Materials" Refers to the manufacturing of auto glass. "Glazing materials" is the government's way of saying auto glass. There is a specified manufacturing process that glass manufacturers must follow to meet test standards. For example, a metal ball dropped from a specified height cannot penetrate the windshield. This standard prevents objects from flying through your windshield while you are driving.
The rust shown here is an example of improper primer application.
2. FMVSS 208 "Occupant Crash Protection" This standard specifies performance requirements for the protection of vehicle occupants. It encompasses all components of the vehicle designed to assist in safety, i.e. seats, seat belts and air bags. The operative word here is "air bags." A passenger side air bag deploys off the windshield at 200 MPH. If a windshield is not properly installed or if the urethane has not cured completely, the deployment of the air bag can eject the windshield and the passenger can also be easily ejected.
3. FMVSS 212 "Windshield Retention" FMVSS 212 focuses on retaining the windshield during a crash. The test consists of driving a vehicle at 30 MPH head on into a fixed barrier. The longitudinal centerline is simply defined by dividing the windshield in half, directly through the rear view mirror. Half the windshield is on the driver's side and theThe windshield was all that kept this driver inside the car. other half is on the passenger's side. With manual seatbelt retention of not less than 75% of the windshield perimeter is required to pass the test. With air bags retention of not less than 50% on either side of the vehicle's longitudinal center line must remain intact in order to pass the test. This standard ensures that the automotive glass keeps you in the car in the event of a collision or rollover.
4. FMVSS 216 "Roof Crush Resistance" The last standard focuses on preventing the roof from crushing you during a rollover. According to the FMVSS 216 standard, the "A" pillar cannot crush down more than 5 inches when 1.5 times the weight of the vehicle is applied to it. If properly installed the windshield keeps the roof from crushing in on you. If the windshield isn't properly installed and "pops out" there is virtually nothing left but the "A" pillar to keep the roof from collapsing during a rollover.
These standards that we just covered are the government's guidelines for protecting you. To ensure that your windshield will remain intact in a collision after the glass is replaced depends on if it was properly installed. In other words "Workmanship." The quality of the installation and ultimately the safety of the vehicle occupants are directly related to the person who is installing the glass. At Harrs Auto Glass we offer a lifetime guarantee on our workmanship.
