Time for Heads to Roll Over New Black Panther Dismissal
Today the Washington Post graces its front page with a long overdue expose on the dismissal of the New Black Panther case. The story is extremely bad news for the Eric Holder Justice Department. Through multiple deep sourcing within the Voting Section and Civil Rights Division, it confirms everything that Christopher Coates and I testified about before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. But that isn't the biggest shocker of the Post piece. It also has administration officials defending the dismissal by arguing that the civil rights laws weren't intended to protect whites. Alas, they confess to their true beliefs after more than a year of lies and misdirection.
This is the worst possible news for the wrongdoers at DOJ, a week before the midterm elections. While purely anecdotal, I have received numerous emails from people around the country confessing their own mea culpa: that they once could not believe the DOJ could act in racially discriminatory fashion, but now they do. Mounting evidence moves minds.
The Post story is largely fair and factual. It does omit the fact that the New Black Panthers are a virulent anti-Semitic organization who routinely rage against "the Jews!" and who have called for the murder of "cracker babies in their cribs." One can only presume that one of the two authors of the piece did not want to remind readers of the vilest views of this outfit.
It strangely renames King Samir Shabazz. Shabazz was born with a "slave name" of Maruse Heath. Shabazz calls it his slave name and thus he abandoned it at least a decade ago. Again, this editorial decision seems to insulate Shabazz. A friend commented to me that if the Post were covering a transvestite, say "Walter," but who went by the phony name of "Wendy," the Post would defer to Wendy's wishes. This may be true or it may not. But as one commentator has pointed out, "even Heath does not call himself Heath." Only the Post does.
Lastly, it also gives short shrift to the worsening predicament that various Justice Department officials are in regarding statements to Congress and the public, sometimes under oath. This is the real tragic part of the controversy. The cover-up is always worse. For example, administration officials told the Civil Rights Commission they were unaware of any hostile attitudes in the DOJ toward equal enforcement of the law. Others have run interference for them in communications to Congress and the Commission. In the old days, the Washington Post had a name for this behavior.
Then comes the bombshell. The Post article quotes an unnamed DOJ official defending the decision to dismiss the case because the civil rights laws don't apply to whites. The Post reports:
"The Voting Rights Act was passed because people like Bull Connor were hitting people like John Lewis, not the other way around," said one Justice Department official not authorized to speak publicly, referring to the white Alabama police commissioner who cracked down on civil rights protesters such as Lewis, now a Democratic congressman from Georgia.
This is an astonishing admission. It confirms what we have been saying all along. It is also the tip of the iceberg. The crooked defense of racially selective law enforcement has many more storylines, and I heard them all when I worked there.
I wrote at PJM last summer:
To the many who expressed such hostility, often thoughtful but wrong, it would be a help to all of us if they might engage the debate with the respectable tenor which they sometimes did when I was in the Department of Justice. After all, such opponents of race-neutral law enforcement surely weren't "cowards" about discussing race in those instances, and we might all benefit from a full understanding of their views. So let's have the opponents of race-neutral enforcement of voting cases come out in the open and tell the American public why they oppose it.
In that article, I wrote how Acting Assistant Attorney General Loretta King told a meeting of the entire Voting Section, including Attorney General Eric Holder who was standing next to King, how glad she was that "two black men are running the country." The inappropriate stupidity of that remark sounds a bit like the quote in the Post from the unnamed administration official. Whoever said that to the Post simply doesn't understand the rage the confession will unleash. Americans don't want to hear the law doesn't protect them.

Protecting pets while you're away on vacation
According to the American Pet Products Association's National Pet Owners survey of 2013, 68% of U.S. households have a pet – a fact that equates to 82.5 million homes with pets. Long before there were integrated home security systems in Bellingham, the advice given to concerned homeowners was to get a guard dog to protect the family from intruders. These days, it is clear that our guard dogs and cats are at risk of being hurt or killed by intruders who will not be stopped by our furry protectors.
So, who protects your guard dog or cat when you are away?
A home security system protects those who are unable to protect themselves – that includes children, seniors, and pets (to name a few) with the following features:
- Integrated smoke, carbon monoxide, and fire alarms coupled with 24/7 security monitoring means that help is on its way soon when danger is detected. This ensures your pets have a far better chance of surviving the potential disaster – even if you are nowhere near your home.
- Glass break detection sensors and door and window sensors ensure that you know when a window is broken or a door or window is unexpectedly opened. When that happens, you know that someone has entered your home uninvited and anyone inside is in danger. Your monitoring services are also clued in that something is not right and help will be sent immediately.
- Surveillance cameras can give you the best peace of mind about what's going on with Fido and Fluffy when you are gone. Through remote access on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, you can take a quick look at what's going on at home when you are away. (You'll also have definitive proof of who's sleeping on the couch!)
For most pet owners, protecting our pets is akin to protecting our children. A home security system can protect your guard dog or cat while you are away – especially if they are not much of a 'guard' to begin with.
A home security system from Guardian Security in Bellingham protects those you love from harm. Guardian Security has been serving Bellingham and Whatcom County with reliable home security systems for over 40 years. To discuss the latest home security features and understand how a home security system protects everyone you love – even your pets – call the expert team at Guardian Security: (360) 647-0110. We'll help you understand how your home security system matters to your peace of mind.

Ensure The Phone Isn't Stolen
When Buy an iPhone you unquestionably would prefer not to purchase a stolen phone.
Apple keeps stolen iPhones from being enacted by new clients with its Activation Lock instrument. The company used to offer a straightforward site for checking Activation Lock status, yet as of late expelled it, making it harder to decide whether a used apple phone is stolen

World Health Summit Regional Meeting 2018 - Portugal, Coimbra
- Managing Infectious Diseases in Low & Middle Income Countries
- Governance for Health Equity in Low & Middle Income Countries
- Opportunities and Challenges in Translating Innovation into Healthcare
- Biomedical Education for a Changing World
Welcome Messages
João Gabriel Silva
Rector, University of Coimbra, Portugal
Challenge and the responsibility will define this first World Health Summit to take place in Portugal. The challenge for Coimbra is to make a significant contribution to the design of effective mechanisms for increasing the provision of high-quality health services to areas of the world where they're inadequate or nonexistent. The responsibilities involve confirming Coimbra as a center of creation and disseminating knowledge regarding health.
This event will move beyond just proposing solutions towards a more integrative and inclusive approach. In it, special guests, speakers, experts, participants, social communicators, and figures from civil society will work together to identify sustainable responses that are also widely executable.
History shows that we are capable of finding new paths, uniting people and ideas, and developing new alternatives. Portugal has always had – and will continue to have – the capacity to kickstart new trends, spread good practices and generate new concepts.
In a world shaped by the velocity of change, this event will alert us to an impending need – to find new answers to old problems. Technology and novelty are important allies on this journey.
We are living in a unique era. One in which paradigms are being overturned and new planetary dynamics are being established. Portugal has the opportunity to be part of this history, and to present distinct ways of thinking that will influence healthcare in the future.
Together, we can overcome great challenges!
Fernando de Jesus Regateiro
President of the Board, Coimbra Hospital and University Centre, Portugal

University of Coimbra
The University of Coimbra is the oldest university in the country, and for centuries it was the only university in Portugal. The history of higher education in Portugal is bound closely to the history of this historic center of learning.
Founded in 1290 by King Dinis in Lisbon, it was permanently settled in Coimbra in 1537, by order of King João III, after a period of migration between these two cities. Initially planned to work in Sofia Street, opened specifically to accommodate it, near the Monastery of Santa Cruz, it was in the Royal Palace of the "Alcaçova", later the Palace of Schools, that all Faculties of the University of Coimbra - Theology, Canons, Law and Medicine – began their work in 1544. This is the image recorded in the Portuguese collective imagination, indelible mark of the city and its University ever since.
For centuries the city and the University were shaped in a deep symbiotic relationship, clearly visible in our days when we appreciate the relationship between the various cores of Alta (higher city).
The Palace of Schools, historic center par excellence of the University, holds a part of the whole that constitutes the University - here we perceive the traditions and mystique that makes it unique in the world. Inseparable from the city that hosts it, one feels the legacy of centuries, which projects itself in time, connecting the past and the future.
The College of Jesus is the oldest Jesuit College in the world, created here in 1542. It became the teaching space of sciences at the University of Coimbra after the Studies reforms, driven by the Marquis of Pombal in 1772. It is now one of the major references in what relates to the History of Science in Portugal.
In June 2013, UNESCO classified the University of Coimbra as World Heritage Site, for its unquestionable value for the History and Portuguese Culture – thus rewarding the effort and dedication of those who every day works to preserve, enhance and especially share its heritage with the World.

Young Physician Leaders, Coimbra, Portugal
Effective healthcare institutions need effective leaders. The issue of developing leadership qualities among health professionals, however, is often neglected, with many young professions having to learn their leadership skills almost by trial and error as they are handed positions of responsibility.
Although incorporating leadership training programs into the medical curriculum is lately gaining in importance, in practice too few countries are actually providing such training. To contribute to building capacity in this area, IAMP launched its Young Physician Leaders (YPL) program in 2011 in partnership with the World Health Summit and the M8 Alliance of Academic Health Centers, Universities and National Academies.
In the framework of this initiative, IAP for Health has identified 10 outstanding young physicians from Portuguese speaking countries who are currently in the process of establishing and developing their careers, who have been exposed to a specific leadership development program followed by participation as special guests at the World Health Summit Regional Meeting during the World Health Summit Regional Meeting 2018.
The Young Physician Leaders initiative aims to convene a group of diverse specialties and origins. To date, 131 YPL have been trained. Their details can be found in the dedicated YPL Directory (www.iamp-online.org/ypl-directory)
YPL Partners
The IAP for Health Young Physician Leaders Program 2018, Coimbra, Portugal was organized in partnership with Coimbra Health, formed by the University of Coimbra and the Coimbra Hospital and University Centre (CHUC). It has a special collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Economics of the University of Coimbra.

TT the Bears, Cambridge, Mass., June 4, 1997
CAMBRIDGE, MA - Robert Earl Keen, the Texas country singer-songwriter, has undergone a few major changes in the past year.
For starters, he left the small, but respected independent label Sugar Hill for the big leagues of Arista.
And on his recently released album, "Picnic," he opts for less of a country vibe for one that is harder edged. In fact, his record company is marketing him as a rock act. It may take awhile, but the album grows on the listener.
But no matter what changes Keen may have undergone on the business and recording side of music, he showed at TT the Bear's Tuesday that one thing that has not changed is his ability to perform.
Keen hit the mark for most of the 1 3/4-hour show before an unfortunately small crowd of perhaps 100 people highlighting the new album and favorites from his past six albums. He may not be the best singer in the world - he has a distinct nasal quality to his singing - but at least he puts forth the songs with authority and seems emotionally invested in them as well.
The problem at the outset, however, was the vocals were mixed too low and the music too high, making you think he eschewed his past for rock. That changed after about four songs.
Keen's world is not necessary a pretty one. Of course, there is the loopy dysfunctional family in the humorous "Merry Xmas From the Family" (it works even when Christmas is six months away).
On a more serious note, the lonely life on the road with worries about his woman forgetting him is explored in "Oh Rosie," a '50's styled song.
Keen et al moved into higher gear starting with "I'm Going to Town." The guitar of Rich Brotherton, who played superbly all night whether harder edged or acoustic, and fiddle of Bryan Duckworth spearheaded the song. At one point, Keen came off the stage, acoustic guitar in hand, and looked back at the proceedings. He surely must have liked what he heard.
Keen, who possessed an easy going stage presence, engaging in banter with fans and joking around, mixed it up musically from there to the end. The sad "I Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight" from "Picnic" proved to be a good musical change of pace with tender singing from Keen and Spanish guitar licks from Brotherton.
And towards the end, he picked it up yet again with perhaps his best known song - thanks to Joe Ely anyway - "The Road Goes on Forever." The soft opening quickly turned into an energetic stomper with more strong guitar playing from Brotherton, and the band cooking along.
Credit is due drummer Tom van Schaik in only his second gig ever with Keen. van Schaik kept a steady beat under less than ideal circumstances.
Even with big changes that could conceivably increase Keen's musical presence, the quality remains the same.

Million Dollar Money Drop
I'll watch any knowledge-based game show at least once. And I especially like shows where the questions are too difficult for someone to reasonably know them, so instead they have to use logical reasoning to narrow down the choices and strategies to hedge their risks. Million Dollar Money Drop perfectly fits this description.
Pairs of contestants (usually married couples) start off with a million dollars of cash to bet. (The money is in stacks of 1000 $20s, which are approximately six inches thick.) They are asked multiple choice questions where each answer is represented by a table. They have to physically move the piles of money onto the tables in a limited amount of time. They can split their money up, but they have to leave at least one table empty. (In early rounds there are four tables/answers and in later rounds there are three.)
Once time runs out, trap doors open up beneath all the wrong answers, and the cash literally falls away. Then they use the money that was on the correct answer for the next round. They only have a limited amount of time to discuss the answers and place the cash, and often contestants panic as time runs short. Since they have to leave one table empty, they could theoretically lose everything on any question. Contestants often split up the money among multiple answers if they don't know which one is right. That guarantees that they'll lose a big chunk of their money, but makes it less likely that they'll lose all of it. This makes the strategy a lot more interesting because risk management becomes key to the game.
If they make it the 7th and last question with some money left, they have to risk it all on one final question. (With two potential answers.)
The questions are so difficult that in the approximately ten episodes I've seen, only two pairs of contestants have won anything. And they only won $20,000 and $40,000 respectively, which means their 50 stacks of cash had dwindled to one and two stacks. All the other contestants lost everything.
I have two quibbles with the show: The first is that they insist on editing so that each pair of contestants is one entire hour-long episode. (If they make it to at least the fifth question.) This means that they often have a lot of padding, so you should DVR it and fast-forward through the crap. It's also a huge spoiler. If there's 20 minutes left in the episode, you know they contestants aren't going to lose on that question. It would be much better if they just didn't try to match contestants to episodes. Most other game shows of variable length will pause the game and have the contestant come back next episode, or introduce a new contestant in the middle of an episode. I don't get why MDMD doesn't do the same thing.
The other quibble is that it's a bit disappointing for most contestants to walk away with absolutely nothing. I think it would be reasonable to give those who make it to the final question 10% of their total if they get it wrong.
But still, I highly recommend this show to game show fans.
As a side note, E and I have started calling it Million Dollar Monkey Drop. We've debated over whether that would be "Answer this question or we'll drop this adorable monkey off a cliff," or "Answer this question or we'll drop this angry monkey on your head." Feel free to make your own suggestions.
The Onion Sports Dome
This is a spoof of Sportscenter and sports in general from The Onion. It's hard for me to figure out how to describe it. But I'll just say it's hilarious. Judging by the first episode, I'd say it's the funniest show currently on TV. And that's true even if you don't care about sports.
Of course it's always possible there could be a huge drop in quality from the first episode, but I hope that won't be the case.
Anyway, you should absolutely go watch this. I guarantee you'll laugh, or I'll give you your money back. (Offer only valid for those who spend $0 or less.)

Ease the pain of Exchange recovery with SLAs and RSGs
Learn techniques you can employ to recover Exchange Server in as timely a manner as possible, and how to keep management out of your hair during the restoration process.
Please let others know how useful this tip is via the rating scale at the end of it. Do you have a useful Exchange or Outlook tip, timesaver or workaround to share? Submit it to SearchExchange.com. If we publish it, we'll send you a nifty thank you gift.
One of the most annoying aspects of disaster recovery is having a clueless manager constantly breaking your concentration by asking you when the mail server will be back up. You can avoid such annoyances to a certain degree by having a clear Service Level Agreement (SLA) in place that specifically defines how long Exchange Server can be down.
Many corporate SLAs dictate that any amount of downtime is unacceptable. Such companies often have high-budget Exchange Server clusters or another form of redundancy in place already, so this article doesn't really apply to them.
For the rest of us, Service Level Agreements might still sound like a pipe dream, because -- as we all know -- Exchange doesn't follow a timetable. If you've ever had to repair a corrupted Exchange database, you know that recovery is finished when it's good and ready. Exchange Server doesn't know or care about anyone's deadlines.
Even so, there are several things you can do to insure that Exchange is restored in a timely manner. More importantly, there are ways of keeping management out of your hair during the restoration process.
Establishing your recovery priorities
Step one is to get a clear answer from management in writing as to what is more important to it: restoring mail flow or restoring the previously existing data. Obviously, both are important, but you need to get a firm answer from management on which takes higher priority.
If management decides that top priority is mail flow restoration, congratulations. Your life just got a whole lot easier. All you really have to do is keep several blank hard drives waiting for the day when disaster strikes.
To get mail flowing quickly, you can just remove the hard drives that house the current Exchange databases and replace them with the blank hard drives (make sure your servers are structured in a way that allows you to do this without disrupting anything else). You can then perform a dial-tone restore, a special type of restoration that will get Exchange up and running quickly so you can focus your efforts on restoring the missing data.
If management decides that historical data recovery comes first, you need to find out how long management is willing to let the company go without mail flow while that data is being restored.
Management probably doesn't understand how long the Exchange database recovery process can really take. It would probably frown on mail flow being unavailable for days while a database is being restored or repaired. Communicate that possibility, and get a straight answer about how long the company can afford to go without mail flow during the restoration process. You can then determine if and when you need to revert to dial-tone recovery.
Structuring your Exchange databases
Regardless of your recovery priorities, you should take a look at how your Exchange Server databases are structured now, while your server is up and running without issue. I'm not talking about making sure that transaction logs are on a separate disk from the actual databases (although that is very important). I'm talking about evaluating the size of your Exchange databases.
Most administrators plan their Exchange databases based on the amount of disk space available. That's fine, assuming you're not worried about how long it takes to recover from a disaster. But imagine how long it would take to restore a 250 GB Exchange database.
It's better to split one massive database into a few smaller databases. You will still be backing up the same amount of data each night. But in an Exchange disaster recovery scenario, you'll have to restore a lot less data -- thus, quicker recovery. Also, since you won't have all your eggs in one basket, fewer users will be affected by a damaged Exchange database.
The best way to implement multiple databases is to place each database into a separate recovery storage group (RSG). (See Improve backup and recovery with multiple Exchange storage groups and Rethinking your Exchange storage groups.)
Since Exchange Server databases within the same RSG share a common set of transaction logs, if you can limit each storage group to a single database, you'll have a lot better chance of isolating any problems.
Also, placing each Exchange database on a separate physical disk (or at the very least, a separate volume) will reduce the chance of a hard disk failure bringing down all of your Exchange databases.
Unfortunately, there is no way to completely avoid an Exchange Server disaster without spending big bucks. But if high redundancy solutions aren't an option for you, at least there are some techniques you can use to reduce the amount of time it takes to recover -- and to keep management off of your back while you do.

About Sriharikota
Sriharikota is a Rocket launch station that is situated in the border of Andhra Pradesh and Bay of Bengal. Sriharikota is an island that is surrounded by the lakes and the small islands. The route is taken from the Andhra Pradesh towards the Sriharikota Island. The route that leads to the island are very interesting and there are also many wonderful spots present in the Sriharikota land and the route that leads to the island. Sriharikota is one of the restricted zones in Andhra Pradesh and not everyone have permission to get inside Sriharikota. If we have permission we can go inside and view the rocket launch station. There is also one forest inside the Sriharikota which is wonderful to view.
To visit the forest in Sriharikota it is very much necessary that the permission should be obtained earlier from the forest officers and the Sriharikota department. Moreover the permissions will not be granted to anyone during the launching time. From the forest the birds that are present in the Pulicat Lake will be wonderful to view. The Sriharikota rocket launch station itself is located in the Sriharikota forest only. The external vehicles that get inside Sriharikota is checked thoroughly for the confirmation that the people should not carry any dangerous things inside. In the security point of view the government takes all necessary precautions.
Attractions in Sriharikota
There are many source of attraction in Sriharikota. The Sriharikota Island is surrounded by the Pulicat Lake which is the biggest lake in India. The pathway that leads to the Island is wonderful with the Bird sanctuary. There are many beautiful birds that swim and fly around the lakes in the Sriharikota Lake. The Sriharikota forest is also very special and if we get permit to visit the Sriharikota forest then we will get good photography from there. Sriharikota Rocket Launch station is very strict that the outsiders are not allowed to get inside it without mere permission.
If we get inside Sriharikota then we can have a look at the rocket launching process and the internal process. For the students the Rocket Launch station provides good facilities to visit. If the people plan to visit inside as a student group then people can easily get permission and have a look at it. Sriharikota Rocket launch station is providing permission for the college students who come for an industrial visit.
The people who are interested in photography and shooting the nature can bring the camera and tripod so that they can get some best snaps from the Pulicat Lake. There will be wonderful groups of birds in the Bird sanctuary in the Pulicat Lake. If we have some good communication with the village people who live there near Pulicat Lake then they will provide a ride in the boat to sail in the Pulicat Lake. Fishing is also done by the fisherman who lives near the Pulicat Lake. There are also many birds that feed on the Fish in the water. Visitors can also have a look at the great scene of birds catching the fish from the water. This is also one of the wonderful shot for the photography.
How to reach Sriharikota from Chennai
It is very easy to reach Sriharikota from Chennai through our own transport. If you are planning to go with your partner then the car and bike is the best means of transportation. It is just 120 km from Chennai to reach Sriharikota. The route is also very clear and the journey will be very much comfortable. If you are planning to visit the forest and the Rocket Launch station, then it is very much necessary that you should get permission earlier from the officers there. The route that leads to the Sriharikota Island from the main road is very good for a ride with lots of attractions.
The route to reach Sriharikota from Chennai is through the red hills road. When we start from Chennai we should first reach Puzhal in Red Hills and catch the national highway. In the same road we will cross the Andhra Pradesh check post and after that the road will first lead to the Tada which is in the border of Andhra Pradesh. Tada is also one of the beautiful attraction spot for the tourists which have the waterfalls with fresh water. Tada is situated in the Andhra and Tamilnadu border. From Tada, Sriharikota can be reached in 30 km. There will be a junction in the national highway where the route to Kalahasthi will be towards the left and the route to Sriharikota will be towards right.
From the national highway Sriharikota is 17 km. The road that leads to Sriharikota is excellent and that contains the maximum attractions. The road fully covered with the Pulicat Lake to the left side and the right side and finally it leads to the Sriharikota Island. The Pulicat Lake bird sanctuary is situated in the route that leads to Sriharikota Island. For the shooting and photography that road is supposed to be one of the best spot. During the exact season time we can also find lots of attractive birds and the visitors who come to visit the birds.
Boating in Pulicat Lake near Sriharikota
Even though there is no perfect boating provided in the Pulicat Lake people can go for sailing in the Pulicat lake to view the birds and the beauty of the birds with the help of the people who live there. If we give some money to the people who live there we can go on a sail in the Pulicat Lake. There will also be many individual islands that are present near the Sriharikota main island. The people and the fisherman will take us to the individual small islands and we can view the scenic beauty from those islands. Then the sailors will bring us back to the main island.
Just because the Rocket launch station is present near the Pulicat Lake, Sriharikota cannot be made as the best tourist spot. The zones inside the Sriharikota Island are highly restricted zones and moreover the people cannot get inside the Sriharikota Island just like that. The restrictions are done for the purpose of security issues. If the equipments and the necessary things are taken then people can also do fishing in the Pulicat Lake. The fishermen there will help in all the aspects if we provide them some money.
Bird Sanctuary in Pulicat Lake
In the Pulicat Lake we can see lots of birds flying and this constitutes to the beauty of the Pulicat Lake. The visitors from various parts of the world and from India, come to see these birds and also for the purpose of Photography and shooting the birds. The Pulicat Lake constitutes to be the best place for the survival of the Birds in the Pulicat Lake. This is the reason why the Andhra Government has approved this place to be the bird sanctuary officially even though this is one of the restricted zones in Andhra Pradesh.
Bird sanctuary in Sriharikota also contains many towers in the roadways that will be more helpful for viewing the birds from the long distances. Moreover the beauty of the birds are seen when they are in a group and fly together. People from various shooting sectors come to this place to shoot the birds. There are also boating facilities provided in the Pulicat Lake so that the shooting and photography is very easy. There are also individual islands present in the Pulicat Lake and if the visitors are interested they can go to those islands and make a tent to enjoy the beauty of the Pulicat lake bird sanctuary. There are many kinds of birds in the Pulicat lake sanctuary so that it gives a good show to the eyes.

Results May Vary [ COMIC ]
I was playing Mario Kart DS and I saw the ESRB warning: Game Experience May Change During Online Play. Now I know its meant to inform me about the unscripted game play of other players and/or the rare occasions where people draw penises on their cart, but that's not what I was thinking. What if the whole experience was like a completely different game?
I was going to point out the inside jokes and where different things in this strip came from, but I decided to create a
forum thread where you guys can discuss this among yourselves. If you guys get them all, I'll be pleasantly pleased.

A seasoned professional in public relations and journalism, Maura successfully founded and grew one of the premier brands in strategic technology communications in the U.S., FitzGerald Communications, to "turn corporate vision into market value." Under Maura's direction, the agency immediately became one of the fastest-growing technology public relations firms, rapidly transitioning from regional boutique to respected national brand in less than three years. After successfully building FitzGerald Communications to five offices and nearly 200 PR professionals, Maura sold FitzGerald Communications to Omnicom Corp. in 2002.

Here comes the boo boo part. You have to rip the book. I know its hard...but just do it. Rip it! I used about 229 pages worth. And I tried to use the pages that have a lot of words.
So roughly scrunch, not fold. Well you can, but I like a little less structured. Then fold in half and put a pin in the middle. Stick the pin into the wreath. Then repeat quite a few times....
I put a few paper bats up there and some ribbon for hanging. Pretty right! And so easy!
Happy Crafting,

Srishti and Dhaval's Pre Wedding Photoshoot against The Breathtaking Backdrop of Dubai
Pre Wedding Photoshoots - Oct 17, 2017
Blue and gold dominate Srishti and Dhaval's pre-wedding photoshoot and how could it not when you choose glittering, gleaming Dubai? The azure ocean, clear skies, spectacular deserts and the twinkling cityscapes were all incredible backdrops to this couple's crackling chemistry.
How We Met
We both work in very diverse professional fields – I'm a chartered accountant. Dhaval is a game designer. We met at the party of a common friend and soon after we started meeting each other every day – we were like a habit for each other. He'd wait for me at Andheri station after work so we could commute home together. Our friendship slowly grew into this heady feeling the world calls 'love'.
After a lot evaluating and consideration, I confessed my love to him and I worried that he didn't feel the same way and that it would cost us our friendship. But to my delight, my feelings were reciprocated! It felt like the luckiest day of my life!
Dhaval has asked me to marry him informally in a hundred different ways and each time it was so cute but I'd shrug it off as an adorable gesture. Then last year, at my birthday party, everyone close to me in attendance, he went down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I know it's cliché, but it worked for me!
And he didn't stop at that. He'd organized another perfect surprise proposal in Dubai during the shoot. A yacht, champagne, with a view of the Burj Khalifa preceded a proposal near Atlantis, The Palm. Which girl wouldn't dream of such a proposal? I guess I just got lucky and thinking of it makes me want to make me do this all over again!
Pre Wedding Photoshoot
We were excited about the pre-wedding shoot from word go. We were anticipating an experience full of emotional moments and it's exactly how it turned out.
When brainstorming for themes, I was keen on pictures that would exude Indian royalty with a touch of western influence. Dhavalwanted things to be more casual and in the end we went with a third option entirely. Once Navin stepped in, the "theme" was dictated by his creative eye. We couldn't have been happier letting him take over the reins. He made us look so good.
When it came to a location, we found the idea of Dubai most appealing. Exotic but close to India and I must tell you, it truly was the perfect destination.
The whole experience, the location, the shoot, was immense fun. We loved shooting with Navin and his team. The things he made us do, ideas he came up with and especially the pictures he clicked – everything was fabulous. He was always on the go, energetic and full of life. He loves photography and knows how to apply his creativity well. He made sure he got what he wanted keeping in mind our sensibilities and the result is there for everyone to see.
While the entire process was quite smooth, there was one incident that I must share. When we were shooting near Burj Khalifa, a security guard got suspicious and though we were shooting for commercial purposes. We explained to him that this was a personal photography session and everything was fine but the look on Navin's face was priceless!
All in all, the experience is something Dhaval and I will cherish forever. Shooting with Navin was a great decision. I've never seen such a passionate young guy. He made us feel like we were celebrities filming a movie! It was one of the best experiences of my life.
If you'd like to feature your stunning pre or post wedding photos, share them with us at email@example.com

An important part of maintaining good oral health is eating a healthy, well-balanced diet. A good diet helps you to minimize the risk of cavities and other dental problems and maintain better oral and overall health. Our pediatric dentist can recommend foods that will promote the development of strong, healthy teeth. Call Seaside Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics Inc today at 858-551-9700 to learn more about the connection between healthy teeth and a balanced diet, and make your family's appointment with Dr. Anthony Scoma in La Jolla, California.
Your child's general health and oral health are very closely connected. When your child has a well-balanced diet, he or she is more likely to have healthier teeth and gums. A good diet provides your child with many of the nutrients needed for their growth and development, including gum tissue development, strong bones, and protection against illnesses. A variety of foods from the five food groups will help to minimize and avoid cavities and other dental problems.
Most snacks that children eat contain sugar and carbohydrates, which attract oral bacteria and cause cavities. We recommend that you help your child maintain a healthier diet. Fruits and vegetables, grains (especially whole grains), low-fat or fat-free dairy products (such as yogurt and cheese), and lean proteins (lean beef, skinless poultry, fish) are excellent dietary charges. We also advise that you offer your child a variety of protein choices, such as eggs, beans, and nuts, and that you give your child water and milk rather than sugar or fruit-flavored drinks.
For more information on helping your child maintain a good diet, and to make your family's appointment with our pediatric dentist, please contact our office today.

1994 - First as a representative then with operational headquarters, TagItalia of Generale Sistemi srl is structured and affirmed in the field of RFID, with the distribution of a wide range of products and the design of systems for automatic identification.
1999 - Generale Sistemi signed a distribution agreement with TagMaster AB leading multinational manufacturer and vendor of advanced Long Range RFID products for the transport sector including the complex and prestigious rail industry. Important customer as Fiat Auto Group, Merloni, Bayer, Quirinale and various Italian ministries choose our systems.
2006 - Thanks to the positive trend due to the increasing business volume, Generale Sistemi decided to reorganize its structure with the introduction of the brand TagItalia. Solutions and product integrations for the Parking, Fleet Management and Waste Manegement become the new Bull Market business.
Nowadays TagItalia consolidated in major rail projects demonstrate that also in the most demanding application Generale Sistemi is the leading integrator of advanced RFID solutions for Long Range identification.
A ten-year presence in the market, first as Distribution Systems and Technologies for the RFID industry, today joined to a structure with a wide experience in the application of high tecnologies.
A competitive advantage that allowed TagItalia to become a landmark in areas not only directly related to RFID, such as that of the new mobility.
All this permits us to present the company not only as a technology provider but also as a subject worker in Integrated Projects, with an addition and practical skills in the design of innovative solutions, oriented towards the new markets. Innovative solutions today is the main source of the statement of the company.
TagItalia aims therefore to strengthen the distribution activity in Italian and foreign markets for major global manufacturers of ID technologies and increase strategical partnerships.
TagItalia is a brand of Generale Sistemi sr

Google came very close today to being the final one stop solution to my everyday internet needs. But alas they couldn't pull through in the end.
I just noticed, for one, that their support section does not have a search box. Curious to say the least.
Gmail is far superior to Hotmail in almost every way, but one feature that's been lacking has always just stopped me from making the switch all together. That was filtering incoming emails into different folders. Yes I know Gmail has "labels", yadda yadda, better than folders, yadda yadda, more than one per message, yadda yadda…. Well it isn't enough!
I only just realised today that Gmail allows you to set filters and have messages bypass the Inbox entirely. (They specifically didn't have this when I joined, and I just haven't looked since then.) That, combined with a very well designed ability to send emails from different email addresses within the same account has now not only killed Hotmail for good, but also my McGill Webmail. The funny thing is I discovered this almost exactly thirty seconds after emailing Google and telling them they should have this feature.
Even cooler than that is the new (to me) Google Toolbar. I may be a bit slow on my upgrades, but I'm loving this new Bookmark button. I've been uploading archives of my favourites links to this website just so I could access them from other computers, but now Google can handle it all.
Guess what the one downside is… those stupid labels again! Putting a label on something puts it into a submenu in the Bookmark dropdown menu, but there's no support for submenus (sublabels? subdirectories!). For a guy with 450 bookmarks in over 30 folders, subdirectories are a necessity.
Google's the best search engine around, but their oft mentioned tagline "Search, don't sort" really gets on my nerves. Why can't it be both?

Left to right: authors Jayme Lee Moyer, Kirk Lynn, Marshall Ryan Maresca, Patrice Sarath, and Joe McKinney on the "Law enforcement in speculative fiction panel".
In addition to being writers, Myke Cole used a police officer, and Joe McKinney is a detective in San Antonio. The rest of the panelists (a total of 6) mostly write speculative fiction that involves some kind of police, much of it being paranormal, urban, or just plain straight fantasy. Thus, police forces they talked about were often the imaginary kind, with names like Yellow Shield. Or if they were mere mortal humans, the specifics of their work consisted largely of dealing with paranormal criminals. So a big part of the discussion revolved around encounters of human cops with supernatural forces.
At the beginning Myke Cole, the moderator, told us that while it was OK to express disagreement, he would not tolerate name calling or insults. I took that to mean that we were gearing up for a lively debate of Black Lives Matter, police brutality, and related topics, which were very much in the spotlight in summer of 2016. However, nothing like that happened. Neither the moderator, nor panelists, nor anyone in the audience voiced any remotely controversial or "hard" questions or remarks.
... except perhaps that Joe McKinney mentioned some incidents from his own experience where women officers were experiencing sexism, and not just from fellow officers, but from the public at large. Two women officers, his colleagues, were trying to subdue a "big dude"; a woman ran from across the street and said: "don't worry, I called the real police". "There are more and more female officers, and I rely on them everyday. I watched female officers deal with that prejudice stoically, fuming quiet rage," said Joe McKinney. So in some of his novels he discussed that issue. He used a novel as a sugarcoated pill. "You have to tell the novel in a way to atract the audience, but while you got their attention, it's a good opportunity to talk about something you think is important, such as women in policing."
Joe McKinney mentioned later on that when he got into writing zombie stories, around 2004 - 2005, there were only 2 zombie books at that time. And that, I must say, is the most science-fictional thing I heard at the whole convention: the fact that there was a time when zombie novels were scarce.
