IMAJ - Colorblind (Official Music Video) featuring Jennifer Lynn
It's time. Please 'like' and share if this touches your heart. "The new #Colorblind isn't about ignoring color. It's about seeing beyond the stereotypes of color, to see each other for who we actually are. It's about seeing the vitality of diversity; in our skin, in our language, our culture, our gender, our faith. There's an intelligence that lies beyond our antiquated fears of one another. That intelligence is LOVE." —Imaj #YouAreLoved Pre-order The New IMAJ Album "America's Sweetheart"iTunes: http://smarturl.it/imajonitunesPhysical CD: http://imaj.bandcamp.com Website: http://loveimaj.com#Peace #Love #CountryMusicApple Music iTunes BandcampCMA Country Music AssociationMTV CMT Great American CountryPosted by Imaj on Tuesday, November 10, 2015
"Colorblind" is the first single off of the long anticipated IMAJ sophomore album America's Sweetheart, releasing worldwide on January 5, 2016. IMAJ co-wrote Colorblind with her dear friends multi-platinum songwriter Ron Grimes (most known for his work with LeAnn Rimes) and The Voice of Holland finalist Jennifer Lynn. In the song IMAJ describes a millennial's perspective. She uses color as a metaphor for diversity beyond just skin color. She says the new definition of Colorblind is, "not about ignoring color, it's about seeing beyond the stereotypes of color, to see each other for who we actually are. It's about seeing the vitality of diversity; in our skin, in our language, our culture, our gender, our faith. There's an intelligence that lies beyond our antiquated fears of one another. That intelligence is LOVE."
Music video concept written, directed and produced by IMAJ and Kassandra Thomas. Edited by IMAJ. Filmed on an iPhone 6 Plus by Sacred Thomas. Makeup and Hair by Bridgett Washington assisted by Mavel Taylor-Hanson.
What is Colorblind about?
Love, love, love. One side of the spectrum says, "I don't see color." This side means well by what they say, and their goal is to be all-inclusive. But the truth is this side really does see color. They just see it as an obstacle. When something scares us as humans, sometimes we'd rather not see it as it is. So this side of the spectrum most of the time says that they don't see color, when in reality they simply may not want to talk about color.
Then there's the other side that says, "I do see color." They see color as a history, as a culture, a unique way that personifies themselves as individuals but also makes them part of a limited community, a group, or a nation of people. That side of the spectrum wants to talk about diversity, and the terrors of racism, and the beauty of culture.
What we've done with the term "color" is use it as a metaphor, as an umbrella, for all of the things that individualize us as well as bring us together as a human race. We've expanded the limitations of being part of a nation to being part of all of humanity. Because technically there is only one race and that's the human race. That is the mindset of the millennial; we strive to bring together what has been separated, in an effort to right the wrongs, or correct the mistakes, of past generations. We've used the term Colorblind as a segway to create a peaceful dialogue between bothsides of the argument. The side that initially didn't want to talk about it and the side that so desperately needs the other side to listen.
Colorblind brings balance to a subject that often finds itself standing on a steep incline. I think it's vital that we find common ground if we truly want humanity to prosper, as Einstein said, "beyond our technology." Technology is actually what unveiled the corruption and prejudice and racism that had already thoroughly permeated our society for hundreds of years. Our technology brought it out. Let our humanity be the energy that transforms it.
Your love and support means the world to me.

A hill is a high place.
A mountain is higher than a hill.
A creek is water that moves along.
A river is like a creek but very big and long.
Trees and rocks are part of the land.
What are natural features?
Natural features are part of the land, and many were in a place before people lived there. Plants, rocks, sand, soil, sea and streams are all natural. They are not made by people.
In our communities, most trees have been planted by people, and sometimes there are huge old trees that were planted many many years ago, or that were in that place before people made their homes there.
There are communities that live near or in or on natural features. The life people live is sometimes different according to those natural features.
A forest is a huge area full of trees that no one has planted. The trees make seeds that are spread by wind or fire or by animals, and new trees grow from those seeds. Forests are home to many wild animals. People who live in or near forests can walk and hike there, they can enjoy animals and birds that people in the city or town don't see. But they must be careful to make sure their homes are safe from fires, and must have an escape plan if a bushfire comes near their homes.
Hills are places where the land is high. We can tell when we are walking up a hill because it is harder than walking somewhere flat. Sometimes there are groups of hills, sometimes just one hill on its own.
People can build houses on the sides and tops of hills, and roads can be made on hills. People who live on hillsides often have a good view out across the land.
Mountains are much higher than hills. Some mountains are so high they always have snow on top, some have snow on top only through the winter. The sides of mountains are steep so roads are narrow and winding, and it is difficult to build houses. Houses need to have a roof that snow can slide off rather than pile up and get too heavy. People who live in high mountains can ski in winter, but it gets very cold. No one lives at the top of the very highest mountains in the world.
Rivers and Streams
Rivers are strips of moving water. A river is very small where it starts high up on a mountain, and is sometimes called a stream or creek. It travels across the land to the sea. It gets bigger and wider as it goes along. People who live along rivers often have boats, and sometimes can water ski. They can fish and swim. The birds they see are different from other places.
A natural pond is a dip in the earth where water collects. Plants grow in the water and around the edges. Sometimes a pond can dry out and then fill up again when it rains.
People who have ponds in their neighbourhood can hear the frogs croaking, and can see small fish, tadpoles and other little creatures in the water. But they have to be careful in summer and spring because there may be snakes nearby.
A lake is a bit like a pond, but is much much bigger. Most lakes have a beach all around, and trees or hills around it.
Plants and trees surround a lake.
There are fish in the lake and waterbirds on and around it.
Sometimes there are houseboats, and boats for fishing and waterskiing.
Some lakes are very large. A few are dry part of the time and fill up when there are good rains.
Rocks are part of the earth. When the earth around a rock washes away or is blown away by the wind, the rock sticks out of the earth.
Some places are rocky, with many big rocks that have been there for many hundreds of years.
The sea is natural, and the beach at the edge of the sea is a natural feature too. A beach is made up of many tiny grains of sand. There are often rocks at the edge of the sea too.
Communities near beaches have thousands of holiday makers all through the summer, and then the rest of the year is quieter. They can swim or surf, walk along the beach, walk when the tide is out to explore rock pools. Some may have boats or yachts.
What natural features are there in or near your neighbourhood?

Amid Hotel Boom, Rising Costs of Renovation Make Savings Hard to Find…..Unless You Have a Good Project Manager
Dec 21, 2015
By: Ryan Mathews, Marketing Manager, JLL
Owners of hotel properties in the San Francisco Bay Area face a conundrum: the economy, buoyed by tech sector expansion, is pushing hotel occupancy and average daily room rates higher. A study this summer conducted by Bloomberg showed that average room rates in San Francisco had leaped by 88 percent to $397 a night, making it the priciest destination among the world's top financial centers. … Read More

Baver's Buckeye Bag 1/6/15
Beating Bama
I mentioned in last week's Buckeye Bag that I thought Ohio State would be "ready" and that the Bama game was certainly a winnable game for Ohio State. But I thought that Ohio State would come up on the short end of things. Being wrong never felt so good. It's starting to look downright stupid to pick against Urban Meyer in big games.
The thing that I thought would be Ohio State's undoing was Bama's rush defense. That obviously wasn't the case, as Ezekiel Elliott had a field day, finishing off his already big game with the 85-yard TD run in the 4th quarter. That is a run we will be talking about for decades. But let's not give all the credit to Zeke, as the O-line created the hole and Evan Spencer took out the last defender (Shaun Dion Hamilton) that could have made the play. I've said it before, and will say it again - Ed Warinner is the best O-line coach in the country and I am now convinced Evan Spencer is the best blocking WR ever to don a Buckeye uniform.
The other thing that surprised me a bit was the effectiveness that Cardale Jones had running with the football. If you take away the negative plays (in which three sacks contributed heavily toward), Cardale had 89 positive rushing yards against the vaunted Bama defense. Seems that Bama didn't foresee Cardale running as much as he did, with OSU basically not having a backup QB if Jones were to have gone down. Urban is a cowboy at times, but who can question the results?
Other misc thoughts:
- Word on the street is that Luke Fickell had to talk Urban into offering the scholarship to Darron Lee. If that's true, God bless Luke Fickell.
- I think I could watch the replay of Evan Spencer's TD pass to Michael Thomas a million times and still shake my head - simply amazing....the pass and the catch.
- Hats off to Curtis Grant. The kid has been eaten alive by Buckeye fans the past few years. Great kid that has stuck it out through some tough times on and off the field, and played the best game of his career against the Tide. Great story.
- The cockiness of Ezekiel Elliott (with the "feed me" gesture) and Devin Smith (with his taunting and "shhh" gestures) still drives me crazy, but man can these two kids flat out play.
- Note to the Boren family: keep having kids and keep sending them Ohio State's way.
- Bucks underdogs, yet again, in the Title Game. But why fear when you've seen what Urban and this Buckeye team has done? Bring on the Ducks and let's finish it off with a National Championship.
Finally, I saw the question asked on a message board....where do you rank this win in your lifetime of watching Ohio State football? I came up with 12 wins that stick out in my mind, and did my best to rank them.
#12 31-26 win over Arkansas (2010 season, 2011 Sugar Bowl) - Vacated wins be damned; Bucks got the SEC monkey off their back
#11 31-16 win over Michigan (1998) - Bucks got revenge on UM after three straight heartbreaking defeats in '95, '96 & '97.
#10 45-26 win over Notre Dame (1995) - 1st matchup of historic programs since the '30's; Terry Glenn's 3rd qtr 82 yd catch & run was one for the ages.
#9 22-13 win over Iowa (1985) - Bucks beat #1 ranked team in the country, picking off Heisman front-runner Chuck Long 4 times.
#8 59-0 win over Wisconsin (2014 B1G Champ Game) - After losing 2nd Heisman candidate QB, Bucks, a 4-pt dog, pasted the Badgers.
#7 26-17 win over Oregon (2009 season, 2010 Rose Bowl) - The "big & slow" Bucks were given no chance by the talking heads.
#6 42-35 win over Alabama (2014 season, 2015 Sugar Bowl/Playoff semi) - Bucks beat #1 ranked team and SEC's best with 3rd team QB.
#5 18-15 win over Michigan (1979) - 4th quarter blocked punt/TD gave OSU win and undefeated regular season in Earle's 1st year.
#4 42-39 win over Michigan (2006) - Undefeated vs undefeated in best rivalry in all of sports; 6 different Buckeyes scored TD's.
#3 14-9 win over Michigan (2002) - Will Allen's pick on game's last play sent Bucks to Tempe, AZ to play for Nat'l Title.
#2 20-17 win over Arizona (1996 season, 1997 Rose Bowl) - Joe Germaine's led dramatic last minute TD drive to pull out win.
#1 31-24 win over Miami (2002 season, 2003 Fiesta Bowl/Nat'l Title) - The most dramatic of dramatic OSU victories ever.
A look at the National Championship matchup in a few days....

Trust taxation is the legal method in which taxes get paid on all property. A trust is a legal arrangement that is a means to hold and manage assets. It has four basic components, including a trustee, trust property, instructions and beneficiaries. Any type of property that is considered an asset can be placed in a trust.
There is no way that an individual who owns the property can be exempt from trust taxation once he or she becomes the rightful owner of the estate. Trust taxation is the legal responsibility of the beneficiary. To avoid trust taxation either willfully or by accident is considered illegal and may have serious consequences, including incarceration.
Living trusts and testamentary trusts are the two main types of trusts. A living trust is established during a grantor's lifetime and the grantor is the legal holder of the trust. A living trust can be either revocable or irrevocable. Revocable means that the stipulations of the trust can be changed, and irrevocable trusts are unchangeable once the trust is established.
An irrevocable trust saves on trust taxation in the long run because of the way these trusts are designed. The assets in these trusts are considered a gift and the grantor is not considered the trustee or the beneficiary, so trust taxation is calculated according to the rules of the trust which will depend on the type of trust that is established. Taxation is also based on the worth of the assets. A revocable trust transfers the property in the trust and the grantor is the trustee and the beneficiary. No taxes are due on the actual transfer, but taxes are due on the assets.
There are different types of legal trust situations. Each circumstance has laws that outline taxation on the trust. Some examples of common trusts include domestic, foreign, legitimate and valid. Each trust, and the country in which a person resides, defines the laws surrounding it as well as the guidelines for trust taxation. Regardless of the kind of trust, all income that a trust collects is taxable either to the beneficiary, the trust or the grantor, unless there are exceptions that are approved by the government, such as hardship exceptions or job loss.
The laws surrounding trusts can be very complex. The penalties for trust fraud can be severe, regardless of the intent. It is always advisable to know the rules for the trust situation as well as the trust taxation laws for the country where the trust was established. Tax attorneys can be helpful in dealing with the legalities surrounding trust taxation.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Success beyond the surface
Horses were never designed to walk and lie on concrete. It's abrasive, slippery, freezing cold in winter and 'hard as the hammers'. Concrete flooring and walkways are a leading cause of slippage and hoof wear. The costs are significant yet avoidable.
Likewise, most horse truck and float floors are not designed with horses in mind. Hardwood flooring can become very slippery, stressing the animals or worse, contributing to falls.
On Numat rubber matting the hoof naturally sinks into the surface shaping to the animal's contours and giving it grip and confidence. It's non-abrasive, reducing wear and tear on horses' hooves. And Numat will provide a warmer, quieter and more comfortable environment for animals and handlers.
Numat rubber matting is more hygienic. Research results prove that a non-porous, vulcanised-sealed rubber surface has a lower microbial count than concrete and wood. Numat is simple to wash down with a hose and broom, using considerably less water that with concrete – up to 50% less.
Sisters, Vicki, Kelly and Amanda, had all witnessed horses slipping and falling on the concrete and knew they needed a high-grip solution to the problem.
Less risk of falls, less injuries, less fear, less stress.
More content animals
More hygienic conditions
More comfortable for you and your animals
A happier you!
Numat stable matting produces outstanding outcomes in the stable environment. It's warmer, quieter and more comfortable, for you and your horses.
Numat matting for horse walkers provides a more comfortable and safer surface.
When you need to get from A to B with complete confidence in the well-being of your animals our matting provides the secure choice for short and long trips.
Numat's wash bay matting provides a free draining surface with excellent grip and cushioning, and withstands soaps and shampoos.

If you know one thing about our fashion sensibilities, it's probably that's we're drawn to the classics. For fall + winter, that means tweeds and plaids, cotton and wool. And then there's our perennial favorite – stripes. Whether layered under sweaters and vests or incorporated as thicker sweaters or coats, stripes are always on standby.
These cold temps aren't going away anytime soon. Tweeds provide the weight and warmth you need to combat to frigid temps in style.
These chic dresses and jackets are perfectly suited for wearing to work. Then, just add some bling and you're on your way to holiday parties!
I've been finding so many ways to style the Lady Jacket in Metallic Tweed. For one, the bracelet sleeves make it easy to show off a pop of color. And the mannequin at J.Crew SoHo posed a style challenge – wear the lady jacket like a cape. Challenge, accepted.
For this iteration, I'd like to thank Jenna Lyons, Jackie O and Anne Hathaway's wardrobe stylist for the inspiration. These Over-the-Knee Boots only look high-end, on major sale ($64.50) – snatch up a pair while you still can!
Must be the holiday season, because plaids are present throughout the home. These Pottery Barn throws come in the prettiest color combinations, and these oversized Target pillows add a splash of Christmas cheer to our brown leather sectional.
Moving on to festive attire, J.Crew does it again! We'll take one of each of the following, please:
Winter, spring, summer or fall – stripes are 100% appropriate for every season. For the dead of winter (hate to break it to you, it's upon us), opt for cozy knits and use your cotton Bretons as layering pieces under sweaters, scarves and vests.
When it comes to stripes, Saint James is the gold standard. J.Crew has been collaborating with Saint James for years, and we adore the collections season after season. This season, it's the Saint James for J.Crew Slouchy T-Shirt that is really catching our eye. Also comes in a short sleeve slouchy version, in 4 fun colors!
While a serious investment, here's what you can feel extra good about when growing your Saint James collection: Careful attention is given to every step of the manufacturing process. For example, after each part of the shirt is cut, the pieces are then applied to a needled table, which allows for each stripe to be perfectly aligned from front of the shirt to back. Talk about a lot of love and personal attention! Read more on the Saint James website.
Saint James sells their tried-and-true pieces, such as nautical shirts and knits on their website, saintjamesboutique.com. Here's a sampling of our faves:

16 Meaningful Tattoos for Pisces
For an intuitive soul like Pisces, tattoos are a wealth of meaning and depth. If you're one of these water-sign babies getting ready to celebrate another year, give yourself the gift of a meaningful tattoo inspired by your star sign. Choose from a subtle behind-the-ear tat or a pretty thigh tattoo. Whether you identify with the ocean's resilience or the Pisces fishes' dualistic nature, here are 20 tattoos any water-lovin' Piscean will love.
1. Geometric Fish: Though Pisces are known to avoid structure because of its restriction, you can express your unique perspective through a geometric rendition of your sign. The contrast between geometric lines and the fluidity of fish swimming plays up the water sign's dualism. Yeah, it got deep real quick. (via @lelefdsk)
2. Watercolor Waves and Sailboat: Cast off your worries and set sail for the adventure that awaits each day with this whimsical tattoo. Pisces will love the contrast between the black and white and watercolor blues in this piece. (via @rodrigotas)
3. Colorful Fish: Celebrate the polarity of your sign by opting for this colorful portrayal of yin and yang. (via @shonacamilleri)
4. Mermaid Scales: Channel your inner Ariel with this delicate, playful take on the oceanic theme. These scaled seem almost iridescent due to the blue ombre effect here. (via @monicatattooer)
5. Rainbow Fish: Does one side of your Pisces nature clearly dominate the other? Maybe your creative, emotional side outweighs your more grounded one. Tell the world with this colorful tattoo of one fish entrapping another. (via @wondercuban)
6. Que Sera Sera: "Que sera, sera" translates to "whatever will be, will be." If you identify with the Pisces trait of adaptability, go for this meaningful star sign and quote combo. (via @tattooist_ida)
7. Constellation: Delicate does it, as this pretty minimalist tattoo of a Pisces constellation shows. (via @playground_tat2)
8. Ocean Strength: Nothing is too big a match for you. Share your oceanic trait of resilience in the face of hardship with this symbolic tattoo. (via @lucidlines)
9. Star Sign: Fish tattoo a bit too literal for you? Go symbolic and ink yourself with the Pisces star sign. (via @christiee92)
10. Siamese Fish: These twin fishes swimming in opposite directions symbolize Pisceans' ability to adjust to changing circumstances, just like a fish changes direction with the current. If you're one adaptable fish, this sea blue tat of two might do it for you. (via @ironbuddhatattoo)
11. Seahorse: Your love for the ocean includes all its critters. Don this cute lil' guy on your side for a tat you can easily cover up for work but show off at the beach. (via @staych1c)
12. Heartbeat and Waves: If you were born into this water sign, you may have felt it: The moment when the rhythmic crash of the waves syncs with your heartbeat. A transcendent experience of being one with nature is definitely tattoo-worthy. (via @andrealamli)
13. Whale: The mystery behind the meaning of humpback whale's magical songs is ongoing. If you too are shrouded in mystery, as sometimes Pisces can be, embrace it with this bold tattoo. (via @ilwolhongdam)
14. Geometric Snail Shell: Is the beach your favorite place? Rep your love for the shore with this unique geometric snail shell tat. (via @okanuckun)
15. Seahorse: Show off your appreciation for all the ocean's critters whenever you bare some leg with this tiny seahorse tattoo. (via @ilwolhongdam)
16. Seashell: If collecting seashells by the seashore during your childhood is one of your fondest memories, share the sweet sentiment with others in the form of this delicate seashell tattoo. (via @olluquito_)

Mont Chemin Project
Project Overview
Gold-silver mineralization at Mont Chemin occurs in pyrite-bearing quartz veins typically within deformed and sheared quartz feldspar porphyry intrusive bodies. Sampling from the Goilly quartz vein in 2007 returned up to 60.8 g Au/t and pits and outcrop at nearby Tête des Éconduits gave 8.2 and 127.6 g Au/t.
An initial trenching program at the Goilly vein in 2010 resulted in five channel samples returning from 12.05 g Au/t across a true width of 0.90 m to 40.7 g Au/t across 0.55 m, with an average of about 22.5 g Au/t across 0.58 m. Samples were locally enriched in silver (up to 387 ppm), copper (up to 2,520 ppm), lead (up to >10,000 ppm), and zinc (up to 1,855 ppm). Sulphide content appears sufficient for a geophysical response and a pilot VLF-EM survey was run at the end of the 2010 field season, with further geophysics to be considered for 2011 to test for similar zones elsewhere across the property.
Gold appears to have been discovered for the first time in 1989 on the Mont Chemin property, however, iron mining and reduction works date back to the 5th to 7th centuries. Lead-silver-fluorite-(zinc) veins a few hundred meters from the Goilly vein were exploited in the late 18th century and into the mid-19thcentury with some work done again in the 1970s.
Deposition of the gold mineralization has been dated at 9.9 ± 1.0 Ma, making it one of the last Alpine metamorphic events in the north-eastern Mont Blanc massif, post-dating the lead-silver veins. 21 Notwithstanding the younger age, gold mineralization at Mont Chemin is believed to be analogous to mesothermal greenstone belt gold mineralization of Archean age in the Superior Province of Ontario and Québec, Canada, or of Proterozoic-age mineralization in the Arabian Shield.
Location, Description and Access
The Mont Chemin gold-silver Property is 100% owned by Aurania, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, AuroVallis Sarl. The Property consists of a single 31-km2 Permit located about 25 km southwest of Sion, which is about 160 km east of Geneva along the Rhône River valley.
The elevation on the Property varies from 566 m to 1,807 m above sea level ("ASL"). Approximately 20% of the Permit area is above tree line and the remainder is forest with a small amount of grazing land.
Recent Exploration
In 2006, prior to the acquisition of AuroVallis by Urania, and prior to supervision by Aurania geologists, 114 selective grab and chip samples were collected. Gold content varied between <0.01 and 72.76 ppm. The higher gold values were predominantly from known mineral areas such as the La Goilly, Scheelite and Vouillanioz pits, although there was a northeast-trending series of elevated gold values (up to 26.88 ppm Au) over 250 m in quartz vein samples to the north of the Goilly Vein. In late 2007, a pilot soil sampling program was completed over a small area covering the La Goilly, the Scheelite Pits, and the fluorite-barite-lead-zinc-silver vein system at La Crettaz. Anomalous gold, tungsten, lead and zinc generally reflect known areas of mineralization – including the Goilly Vein. Gold values (up to 105 ppb) suggested that the gold mineralization may be more extensive than presently known. Although the Goilly vein and other occurrences were detected by the survey, Urania feels that poor soil development on the Property is not conducive to reliable results. In 2010, geological mapping and prospecting identified additional prospective porphyry. Detailed mapping has been able to identify smaller tongues of porphyry adjacent to the larger body in the vicinity of the Goilly vein. In July 2010, the Goilly vein was trenched using a backhoe, exposing 8 m of strike length and about 5 m down-dip. The vein strikes at 060° and dips at 35° to the southeast. Five channel samples returned from 12.05 g Au/t across a true width of 0.90 m to 40.7 g Au/t across 0.55 m, with an average of about 22.5 g Au/t across 0.58 m. Samples were locally enriched in silver (up to 387 ppm), copper (up to 2,520 ppm), lead (up to >10,000 ppm), and zinc (up to 1,855 ppm).
The sulphide content observed within the Goilly vein during trenching appears sufficient for a geophysics response. Late in the 2010 field season a grid was set up and a pilot VLF-EM survey was conducted over the Goilly area. The station transmitting the required signal was very weak and results are being analysed. Additional geophysics is planned for 2011.
Proposed Programs and Budgets
The proposed Phase 1 program in 2011 includes an initial 1,000 meter diamond drilling program seven to eight holes to test the down dip extension of the Goilly vein, under the Scheelite and Vouillanioz pits, and along the finger of porphyry where the Goilly vein and other gold showings have been identified. Additional proposed work consists of induced polarization surveying over an area of 300 m x 750 m around the Goilly vein, as well as further prospecting, mapping, and rock sampling over the prospective granite porphyry with the objective of identifying additional gold-silver mineralized quartz veins. Additional trenching will be done on specific targets where feasible. The estimated Phase 1 budget is C$670,000.
Aurania has proposed a Phase 2 program contingent on the results of Phase 1. The work would consist of 1,000 m of diamond drilling to further test along strike and down dip on the Goilly vein and any other targets identified by geophysical surveys, mapping and sampling in Phase 1. The Phase 2 budget is estimated at C$600,000.

Posé: A pause or rest stop along the Voyageurs' portage trail. Usually about ½ mile apart. We invite you to take a pause in your day to reflect and pray with us.
God's Word Like Water to Thirsty World
(The LORD said) "For as the rain and snow come down from heaven and do not return there until they have watered the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose and succeed in the thing for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:10-11
Have you ever had a teacher or a special mentor in your life tell you you did something well? I once had a teacher in 5th grade who told me that I was a good writer and should keep it up. (As I look back on the jumble I wrote in 5th grade, I wonder how she got that impression!). But, that encouragement has stuck with me all these year. Funny, how words can do that.
In the passage above, the LORD is speaking to the Israelite exiles in Babylon. The LORD says that his word has a purpose and will succeed in that purpose, bringing nourishment of faith to the people, just like bread nourishes hunger and water nourishes thirst. God's word nourishes a deep pit of need in us. God's word comes to us in many ways - through Scripture, through Christ the Word and through general inspiration. God can and will reach us as God desires. Much like you can't stop or control a stream running down a mountain, God's word will go and accomplish the thing for which God sent it!
Dear God, help me to trust that you have something to say to me. Help me to know that you have a purpose for me. Bless me with the patience and an open heart to listen. Amen.
Faithful travels everyone,
Pastor Lisa Buchanan

Carmarthenshire Council neglected to take action on easily avoidable accident at work.
A kitchen worker at Pengar School in Llanelli, who was left in agony after continually lifting sacks of potatoes onto a trolley, has secured compensation with the help of UNISON.
The potato peeling machine in Tina Bowen's school kitchen had been broken for a long period of time. As a result, she had to use a machine at a different school which left her manually lifting the heavy sacks of potatoes onto a trolley and pushing them across a car park. She would then have to load the clean potatoes back onto the trolley in order to take them back to Pengar School to be cooked.
Six months off work due to injury
During one trip, Tina felt severe pain in her left shoulder. She was absent from work for six months, during which time she lost vital earnings and struggled with the simplest of day to day tasks.
"I can barely describe how unbearable the pain in my shoulder was during those six months," said Tina.
"My movement was so restricted that I could hardly even dress myself. I wish that the management had fixed the potato peeler earlier or provided me with a safe alternative; this could all have been avoided."
Legal investigation uncovered employer's failings
Following her injury, Tina contacted UNISON, who referred her case to specialist personal injury lawyers at Thompsons who investigated her case. Together, UNISON and Thompsons secured several thousand pounds on Tina's behalf by proving that Carmarthenshire County Council had not followed basic health and safety rules.
Margaret Thomas, UNISON Regional Secretary in Wales, said: "When important equipment breaks down, it isn't good enough for employers to just expect employees to lump it and make do - it's about putting safe alternatives in place. We are pleased that we were able to help secure Tina the compensation she deserved for her injury but remain baffled as to why the Council didn't fix the problem in the first place to avoid the injury."
Alex Harvey of Thompsons Solicitors commented: "Tina should never have had to struggle on to carry out such a basic part of her job. The answer when the potato peeler machine broke down wasn't to have Tina lug potatoes across a car park on a precarious round trip. This was an accident waiting to happen."

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Pennsylvania's new law governing Marcellus shale gas drilling — Act 13 — bars doctors and other health professions from sharing information about what chemicals are used in the process.
But a local lawmaker wants to change that, calling the current health care gag potentially lethal.
Pennsylvania state senator Daylin Leach (right) represents parts of Delaware and Montgomery counties. He says current law requires doctors to sign a confidentiality agreement which forbids them from sharing any information on fracking ingredients anyone else — including patients being treated for exposure to fracking pollutants.
According to Sen. Leach, the fracking companies say those are trade secrets. But he says the chemicals using in fracking are deadly.
"(In) one study I saw 29 separate carcinogens, about 15 different neurotoxins," he told KYW Newsradio today, "things like arsenic, benzene. Things you wouldn't want near your body are being poured by the hundreds of thousands of gallons into the ground."
Leach says his bill would require companies to share that information with health care professionals and, in turn, those doctors and others could share that openly with their patients.
He says this is a public health issue, and trade secrets should have nothing to do with it.

Citigroup is replacing Sallie Krawcheck, the departing head of Citi-Smith Barney's wealth-management unit and its 14,983 advisors, with Mike Corbat. Krawcheck, who joined Citi in 2002, has been asked to stay on through year-end and then plans to "pursue other opportunities," Citi says in a press release.
Corbat, who's been with Citi for 25 years, and the newly appointed head of global banking for the institutional clients group, Edward Kelly, will report to John Havens, head of the institutional clients group and a former colleague of Pandit's at Morgan Stanley.
"The appointments of Mr. Corbat and Mr. Kelly will align their talents with the company's strategic goal of deepening its institutional and individual client relationships around the world," a Citi press release says. "The moves also will increase coordination between GWM and ICG, underscoring the company's priority to deliver the full benefits of the entire Citi franchise to its clients, extending beyond historic business lines."
Since Vikram Pandit became CEO in December 2007 after former CEO Charles Prince was forced out in November 2007, the company has been restructured, and several top executives have left.
"Mike is among Citi's strongest senior managers, leading the firm's efforts to provide best-in-class financial services to top-tier multi-national corporations and financial institutions," says Pandit. "I am confident that we will enhance Citi's already industry-leading position in this very attractive business."
He adds, "Sallie Krawcheck has been an invaluable asset to the firm and a true thought leader within the industry. She has an impeccable reputation and has represented Citi well with our top clients and key constituencies around the world. We thank Sallie for her years of dedication and contribution and are pleased that she will help ensure a smooth transition over the next three months."
In the second quarter of 2008, global wealth management increased sales by 4 percent, but the number of its advisors/bankers fell 4 percent to 14,983 from a year earlier. The unit has 674 offices and $1.7 trillion in assets under management; total AUM dropped 7 percent year over year.
Various press reports have explained that Krawcheck's planned departure is a direct result of Pandit's move to ask Krawcheck to take on a lesser role within global-wealth management. Krawcheck also had reportedly argued that clients should be compensated for losses tied to auction-rate securities and that Citi's hedge funds had hurt relations with clients. The two also may have sparred over whether or not advisors should be more focused on selling Citi products vs. a broader array of financial products and services.

Book Writing and Freelancing: A New Work Life
More than a month has passed since I announced to the Internet that I was writing a book about the Georgia oyster industry. In that span I've felt busier than ever before, happy for sure and scattered everywhere. I've not devoted a moment to this blog. In writing this post, I realized how much I need this personalized outlet, even as I'm producing my own cooking zine and nonfiction book.
This fall has been one of huge shifts in my life. I left a secure full-time job to work as a freelancer and write a book. Part of that change has meant spending an increased amount of time with my young daughter, something for which I am more than grateful. Before I sit down to the computer each day, I make eggs and toast and apples and such for her. We ship off to Montessori school, and then, around 9 a.m. or so, I brew some coffee and begin writing. I continue as furiously as possible until 2:30 p.m., stoping only to eat a small lunch, which is when I leave to pick her up and serve as a monitor during the extended day portion, keeping an eye on all the kids who can't be picked up until 5:30 p.m. I'm able to work off her tuition and learn plenty about the inner-workings and social strata of the 2-6 year old set.
I've also learned to mix cocktails to shore up the bank account during this time of transition, working one night a week behind the bar of the Old Pal in Athens' wonderful Normaltown neighborhood. I've become increasingly accustomed to producing freelance work quickly to make up for unpaid work like that of Crop Stories, the food and farm zine that I edit. I made one four-day reporting trip in early October down to the Georgia coast, roaming from St. Marys near the Florida-Georgia border up to Skidaway Island and back down to Brunswick (with excursions into the marsh fit somewhere in there).
I also launched this crowdfunding campaign to help pay for all the traveling necessary to write this book. It's been live for about a week and a half at the point of this writing, and already it's at 81 percent of its minimum goal. I say minimum because $2000 is a number that I feel allows me to get this book done on a tight budget. More support gives me the ability to travel more, replace broken photo and audio equipment, and devote a little extra time to drafting the text over the next year.
Throughout all of this I've been nervous as hell. Who the fuck am I to think I can write a book? What the fuck am I thinking asking friends and family to help fund the damn thing? I'm not entirely sure I want to answer those questions, but if anything, I've learned to work past the tenured critics in my psyche and just get the damn thing done.
It's been a busy month and it's about to get busier. Crop Stories: Winter Squash, the second edition of the zine, comes out in three weeks. I head down for an extended reporting trip on Nov. 10. I'm planning a IRL fundraiser with some talented friends and chefs on Nov. 16. And I am penning a longform feature based on my book reporting for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
I've got this.

I love them for the pictures and for the fact that dialogues are something really rare. And obviously for the music. Maybe those are not typical Hollywood mega productions, with soundtracks that win all of the possible awards that could be won. But there is something captivating in this simplicity.
So feeling in my duty I finally decided to watch her latest movie "Somewhere". Film premiered here in the UK few months ago, but I needed some time to get round to watching it.
Unfortunately I got disappointed with the topic that Coppola chose for the main motif of her production. Incredibly well-worn, talked about in many movies in loads of possible ways which she still decided to approach once again. The main theme is a father (in this case a Hollywood actor, living stereotypical rock man's lifestyle) who doesn't really contribute to his daughter's upbringing. However everything changes in his life, when the mother of his child asks him to take care of their daughter before driving her to the summer camp. Quite predictably the time spent with a child has an incredible impact on him. After daughters' departure he goes through a minor breakdown and decides to change his life. Nevertheless we never get to know how the story finishes - and here is something I like most - open ending.
Despite this predictability and lack of any big revelations the movie is actually really good. I think that the whole production is saved mainly because of the fact that while watching we have to figure out most of the things ourselves. In very characteristic for her way, Coppola decides to almost complitely cut down on the number of dialogues and concentrate on the picture. Sometimes she "torments" us with very long scenes but thanks to this we can actually feel what she wanted to pass on to us. She reaches her aim and finishes everything in very artistic way.
When it comes to the soundtrack, obviously the French band Phoenix couldn't be skipped. It's difficult to be surprised given the fact that the vocalist is directors' husband. But here the idea of using their songs from the latest CD "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" is a huge advantage. I can't stop wondering whether the electro sounds that dominated the LP inspired Sofia to the opening scene. Or maybe she accidentally decided to use this song that perfectly matches the dominating sound of the wholeness. This isn't the only scene when the bands' music highlights what's happening in the movie. In a sensational way the opening sounds of "Love Like a Sunset Part II" were used to show what may be happening in the main character's head. And afterwards, as the scene develops we are allowed to listen to the entire song.
I strongly recommend you to pick one day in the week that wasn't too tiring and spend the evening watching the movie. It definitely requires some energy and concentrating on it. Because the entire thing, despite this obviousness of the theme, creates really positive and interesting piece that in my opinion should be on the list of everyone who calls himself a good movies' fan.

Fusion Science and Technology / Volume 60 / Number 3 / October 2011 / Pages 1006-1009
Measurement, Monitoring, and Accountancy / Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Tritium Science and Technology / dx.doi.org/10.13182/FST11-A12586
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
ITER is trying to develop destructive and non-destructive methods of tritium measurement for discarded radwaste components. The ITER Type B(medium activity with long life) metallic radwastes that need tritium measurement are mainly Divertor Cassette Body, Blanket Modules, Test Blanket Module Port Plug, Torus Cryopump, etc. It has been known that 107 Bq/g of tritium is distributed within 1 mm depth from the surface of the metallic radwastes. The metallic radwastes generated from maintenance period of ITER facility will be transferred to the Hot Cell Facility (HCF) for treatment including cutting, tritium removal and pre-packaging, followed by being shipped to the disposal facility after interim storage at ITER site.
In this study, the radiochemical analysis methods of tritium measurement for ITER type B metallic radwastes were reviewed. Especially, two experimental methods, chemical acid leaching method (CALM) and heating method (HM,) were compared with each others to suggest the most suitable method for tritium measurement. The recovery yield of tritium standards for CALM and HM showed excellent results of 98 and 90 %, respectively. Since HM requires post treatment of extracted tritium species due to impurities, as shown in the analysis of sample from Nuclear Power Plant, CALM was considered more efficient method than HM for tritium analysis of Type B metallic radwastes.

Nokia has gone into some detail about how the company uses anonymous data collection from consumers who utilise its location services to help improve the overall HERE experience offered. A number of data sources are relied upon to maintain and update mapping, as well as innovative tools that can detect changes and trigger action points. Sounds like the creation of the Matrix, right?
Based on internal statistics, the blog post over on Nokia Conversations states that around 1 billion devices (smartphones, cars, computers, etc.) are using HERE services, which is what's helping the company shape its backend infrastructure, as well as improve the front-end experience to offer a top quality location service solution. This front-end what we all use and love on Lumia Windows Phones.
A team in Berlin has been making sense of data collected through HERE by visualising it on maps. The results are awesome.
Data intensity displayed on a map of Los Angeles.
"More and more of our connected devices are able to sense the real world around us, taking the 'personal' to new levels," explains Nokia's Pino Bonetti. "Nowadays, every smartphone has GPS and other sensors to help integrate the real with the virtual world. This is why, to build our location services, we don't just capture an index of streets, buildings and parks to create a rich model of the real world."
It gets even more advanced than that as the data collected from consumers can even help the teams understand how the population of larger countries are distributed. When you're connecting and using Nokia's HERE services on your Windows Phone, did you know that you're also informing the company which technology your device is utilising (GPS, Wi-Fi, Cell-ID)?
All Windows Phones with language set to "Chinese" in Eurasia.
The results shared by Nokia are impressive. It's exciting to see data visualised on a map to see how and where the general public use their mobile devices. Here's what Nokia CEO Stephen Elop had to say when visiting the campus in Berlin:
"What was particularly exciting is that you could see a dramatic change over just a year's time. Through this data, you could see a clear growth pattern for Lumia. Consumers are lighting up the world with Lumia, and the data is a powerful visualization of that momentum."

. . . this is the work of a master at the very top of his game . . . [Dessner] weaves a sublime spell as the music ebbs and flows through a whole range of emotions. It's contemporary yet reverential, ambitious yet enjoyable. Derek Robertson, Drowned in Sound, 2/27/2014
Never before have classical and rock converged in so organic, compelling and sensual a way as they do in the three short orchestral works by New York composer and guitarist Bryce Dessner on his new release . . . Despite this broad spectrum of influences, his voice remains individual and distinct. The works performed here with de Ridder show Dessner to be a composer of surprising independence of mind . . . With this album, Bryce Dessner and Jonny Greenwood open up a new frontier for symphonic music., Music Industry News Network, 1/18/2014
. . . "St. Carolyn by the Sea" and its brethren are terrific pieces of music by any stretch . . . both pieces are indepently stunning . . Combined under André de Ridder's guiding hand and Deutsche Grammophon's professional stamp of integrity, "St. Carolyn by the Sea/There Will Be Blood" will go down as a modern classic. It can't be anything else.John Garratt, Record Review, 3/4/2014
. . [there's more to Dessner's] music than just emotion (which even if there wasn't that would be good enough), but he has brains. He has an ear for acoustics, he has musical instinct and he isn't afraid to take a risk . . . his compositions organically fuse the traditional symphony orchestra with electric guitars in such a way that in all my travels through electro-acoustic soundscapes, I've never heard something so convincing . . . Dessner may be lachrymose and solemn much of the time, but it isn't melancholy or dreadful. What strikes me most is how musical he is . . . Dessner sounds very natural; the long form composition suits him well. Tight and compact, but expansive and expressive . . ., Record Review, 4/21/2014
On [Dessner's] "St. Carolyn By the Sea", moaning tremolos pass like a fever chill through the orchestra and show up in the guitars a few minutes later, goose flesh prickling the music's surface. There are guitars in the work, but they are twinkling and demure, and often feel like they are murmuring to quiet the upheaval of the shuddering beast that is the full orchestra. The work builds to a martial tattoo of an ending and cuts off, leaving its sharp outline visible in our minds. Dessner's ear for string writing is particularly rich . . . "Raphael", builds from wispy tendrils of sound into a super-saturated moment of full orchestral color, a blazing sunrise burning fog off of a river . . . It is glacial, patiently ecstatic, and further evidence that Dessner's vision could support some large-scale works. Whoever wants to commission his first symphony would probably be rewarded with something fantastic.Pitchfork, Jayson Greene, 3/20/2014
. . . Dessner and Greenwood's atmospheric pieces do complement each other. Dessner's side . . . features gentle guitar from Bryce and brother Aaron, skittering violins and snare-driven crescendos -- in particular, the lovely title track.Bryan Bierman, Magnet, 4/1/2014

All New SD Foot Controls reduce foot pressure by 50%.
No more jerky starting & stopping, making the Squirrel very easy to operate.
True Foot Controls SD (Soft Drive)
The SQUIRREL is a machine with unique foot controls, giving three dimensional movement without the operator shifting his feet. A wide seat belt holds the operator directly above the foot pedals giving a safe and comfortable working position. The fully adjustable spring centred foot pedals allow you to continue working with both hands free AT ALL TIMES. This proven feature alone makes the SQUIRREL the most efficient machine.
Left Foot Pedal
Right Foot Pedal
Foot controls are directly mounted to hydraulic valves, allowing the operator to gradually phase all movements and giving a "positive feel" (no bowden cable problems).
Enclosed Cage
CAGE is enclosed on three sides, has a large self closing rear gate (incorporating a storage tray) with two closing latches giving maximum protection to the operator. Also sited in the cage is an electric throttle, Emergency Stop Button and a start button and electric hydraulic three speed Control.
Side Swing Cage
The cage rotates hydraulically 120º left to right by using the left foot pedal. Cage swing is constant at all heights making the SQUIRREL ideal for a range of applications. This cage swing allows the operator to reach a greater area instantly without moving the base of the machine.
Comfortable Working
The SQUIRREL's side swing cage, when rotated left or right, allows the operator to work in a more comfortable position with less strain from stretching or twisting. This feature reduces the amount of maneuvering of the base of the SQUIRREL as it is driven down the row.
Hand Control Options
Joy-stick hand control cage is available in a single or two man style. This is ideal for hire fleets and construction work. Hand controls are directly mounted to hydraulic valves, allowing the operator to gradually phase all movements.

Adorable couple Rachael and Brian who recently did an fun country/equine style engagement session were married this past weekend. Rachael and the girls chose to get dressed and do preparation pictures at our studio where the country theme continued with cowboy boots for all the girls.

The bride & groom's country style carried through to the reception at Pazzo's Grand Ballroom where tables were decorated with mason jar glasses and sunflowers that Rachael's Grandmother grew.

Grand Tea Pearl Jasmine10/10 — 1 review
|Numi's review:
"This tea also seems softer in flavor than less refined teas, leading to less dryness (yeah!) yet retains enough body to avoid the frustration of drinking beautifully scented water. The overall effect is a jasmine that is demure and ravishingly beautiful at once."

From Fast Company's interview with Udacity CEO Sebastian Thrun; emphasis mine:
Thrun's 5-year-old son, Jasper, is not yet old enough to be impressed by his father's work, but he's already starting his education. "In my son's kindergarten, they're telling us how to get him into Stanford," he says. "By their advice, I'm doing everything wrong, because I'm trying to make him happy rather than putting him through as many piano lessons as possible." He dreams that his son will take a less conventional view of education. "I hope he can hit the workforce relatively early and engage in lifelong education," Thrun says. "I wish to do away with the idea of spending one big chunk of time learning."

Sima is AMAZING!!!! She is not only super friendly and personable, but right away will see that she genuinely cares about you and your smile. Her assistant Alycia is amazing as well and between the two of them they make MAGIC! I can see myself staying with this dentist for as long as I have teeth. :) I Seriously would recommend them to everyone! - Jerry G., Pomona, CA
Sima is an incredible dentist. She is not only very warm and friendly, but extremely knowledgeable and honest in sharing the processes of what she is doing. She gives you the facts and let's you make the best decision for you, which I find super important in my healthcare providers. I have brought friends and they fall in love with her just the same. She closed a gap in my teeth with bonding and they look fantastic and natural! It's a bit of a drive for me but completely worth it to know I'm getting the best service and work done. The office is very clean and her assistant Alicia is very friendly and sweet too. I highly recommend Sima, 5 stars! - Clarissa B., Los Angeles, CA
I have known Dr. Khavaran for many years since dental school. She is so knowledgable, kind and patient. I'm a dentist myself and I trust her so much that I refer to her if I have a question.
I am confident that she gives the best care to her patients. - Pariz S., San Diego, CA
We Love Dr. Khavaran!! My husband & I are both hate going to the dentist, but now that we've found Dr. Sima K. we don't dread our appts. anymore!! We used to be in pain & pressured to do unnecessary procedures by unethical Dr's. Since I've being a patient of Dr. Khavaran my teeth look & feel so much better!! She makes you feel comfortable and even leant me her i-pod to calm & relax me:) She isn't like those high pressure dentist, she only recommends what is necessary!! Dr. Khavaran sweet, honest & is one of the BEST!!! - Wendy W., West Covina, CA
What a thorough dentist, she really cares and she has eagle eyes. Sima sees everything and pays attention to all the details, and to top it, she is the sweetest doctor, very caring and compassionate. I had pain on my tooth and my previous dentist couldn't find out why and told me everything was fine but my pain continued, when I saw Dr. Khavaran she examined me so thoroughly, and she found out that I had a cracked tooth. I needed a root canal and sure enough my pain that was bothering me for such a long time is gone now. Thank you Dr. Khavaran for being so thorough in taking the time to find out where my pain came from and finally relieving it, my life is back to normal now. - Nelly S., Los Angeles, CA
Es dificil confiar en doctores y dentistas, haveses nos sentimos como pacientes que nos quieren hacer tratamientos por su propia conveniencia (por hacer dinero),cuando conoci ala doctora sima, me di cuenta en seguida que ella no es una de esos doctores, me esplico lo que tenia y lo que yo necesitaba, me dio varias obciones de tratamiento, me ayudo mucho. no senti ansiedad, ni dolor, que es importante para mi gracias ala Dra. sima y a su trabajo se las recomiendo con mucha sinceridad, es buena y te sentiras en un ambiente bueno como en tu casa!! - Martha V., Winnetka, CA

io9 Book Week
"Books are stealthy and portable and will outlast the data apocalypse. With a book, you can hide in the middle of a field with no electrical outlet and still escape to Barsoom or Downbelow Station or Dune. The written word implants a story in your brain, but lets you imagine all the details of how people look and move and speak. Even a comic book leaves room between panels for you to fill in an entire world of your own devising."

The Flying Scotsman on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway
In March 2016 the Legendary Locomotive the Flying Scotsman returned to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for the first since I don't know when. Locally the publicity was through the roof and people were clamouring to get a view of from the moment it embarked on its journey from York to Whitby. I'm not what you might call a trainspotter and initially I'll admit that I didn't really see what all the fuss was about, but as the media attention on TV and on Radio converged with a Sunday of fine sunshine I thought I would brave the crowds and take the family to Grosmont Station to witness a piece of history for themselves.
The crowds made it very difficult to set up a decent composition from any vantage point within the station itself. Most of the shots were blighted by hands, heads and iPads all vying to get a better view, and the safety conscious platform staff were constantly telling us to step back from the edge (rightly so!). After an hour's wait the Locomotive finally arrived in the station Tender-first (ie backward!), so no chance of an iconic shot there. But within 20 minutes or so it was decoupled and heading out the way it had arrived before preparing to reverse back in re-attach itself to the patiently waiting cars. It quickly became apparent that a standard wide angle shot with a deep depth of field was out of the question. So as the tender was being hooked up to the cars I scooted around the front and grabbed what can only be described as a portrait. I have to say I should have set the aperture a little wider, but I was in such a hurry I forgot, so I had to blur the background in photoshop more than the image looked straight out of camera. Overall I like the look and its proven popular on Facebook and Twitter, well worth a post here I think.
Overall it was a great trip out and I found myself driving round places I rarely visit. Some great views to be had, although Grosmont is a little hilly! The kids enjoyed seeing the Flying Scotsman too; at least that's what I told them! Hope you like and feel free to share this post if you like my work.

World Hobby Fair: RM9 & RnR3 Updates/
The World Hobby Fair started July 12th, and the Mega Man Network is going to keep you updated with what we and other sites can find. Dengeki has some picture from Capcom's booth and shows off some pretty cool things. The Ryusei no Rockman 2 contest was going on, and some RnR3 stuff was going on. Here are some pics
Translated a block of text that appeared above the pictures from Capcom's booth from the link below:
--- The challenge events and national convention for Ryuusei no Rockman 2 was held. At the event in the booth for Ryuusei no Rockman 3, the latest info on the game was also presented, and the gathered fans were enjoying the Ryuusei no Rockman series with DSes in hand. Rockman 9: The Ambition's Revivial which will be distributed via WiiWare in September was also made playable, and those fans who enjoyed the original Rockman series made a line at it. The exhibited Rockman 9 allowed play of one of two available stages. While reaching the boss room in either stage was the end point, the stage traps were truly clever and it seemed many of the players buried their heads in their hands. Aside from this, the corner for the business-use "Wantame Music Channel" was also presented. ---
Check out Dengeki's news page for their WHF information from today, including pictures and scoops from different companies.
UPDATE #1 Here's another translation of a blog post from Gyroman Black. He attended the event and got to play some of Rockman 9. Here are his opinions:
--- The product seemed completey like the reproduction a Famicom Rockman, it was perfectly Rockman. Also I played with the Wii remote on its side with no discomfort whatsoever.
I played two stages which were Concrete Man and Plug Man. In the boss select seen, it wasn't the boss's face but rather the R mark of the Right Numbers that appeared. This time Dr. Right is the villain...?
Concrete Man's stage was the dying type of stage with the inopportune attacks from enemies and facing an elephant midboss three times, where I accumulated a lot of damage. Plug Man's stage was a stage more aimed at instant death, where the disappearing blocks were the main thing with lots of spikes and pits. The former stage was much more slow! The latter seemed much more quick, I felt!
I stood in line three times to play Plug Man's stage, and cleared it the second time, although upon clearing there was no boss at the end.
I was embarassed dying at the same place three times in one try, so I talked to Mr. Horiken (Capcom producer Takeshi Horinouchi) shortly and then rechallenged the stage again, this time making no mistakes. Then, I stood in line once again to try what I thought was Concrete Man's stage, but mistakenly it was Plug Man again... so I cleared it there and passed it onto the next person.
I didn't have the energy to wait in line again so I called it a day. ---
That lets us know that the in the Dengeki screens from the above link are from either Plug Man's or Concrete Man's stage. Pretty cool.

Lunch begins at noon - The meeting begins at 12:30 p.m.
Meet Lawrence M. Hills Jr.
Program Manager Duval County Teen & Truancy Court
Lawrence is the current Director of Duval County Teen & Truancy Court programs within the Office of Court Administration, Fourth Judicial Circuit, FL. Current responsibilities include managing court personnel and 40 + volunteers from the legal community. He is also responsible for developing a curriculum and guidelines for Duval County's Neighborhood Accountability Boards (NAB) process.
Prior to being assigned to the Office of Court Administration, Lawrence worked for ten years at the State Attorney's Office, Fourth Judicial Circuit where he served as Referral Reduction Coordinator in association with the State Attorney's Juvenile Diversion Programs. In that capacity, he expanded the Civil Citation process in Duval County and developed Civil Citation procedures in Clay and Nassau counties. Notable accomplishments include directing the first Florida Department of Juvenile Justice's assignment center in 1998. This privatized juvenile correctional facility was charged with assessing committed youth for appropriateness of commitment classification.
Mr. Hills is also an Air Force veteran who served in several capacities to include mental health counselor, substance abuse counselor and Equal Opportunity and Treatment monitor. He holds a Masters of Science Degree in Human Resource Management with an emphasis on Public Administration.
Teen Court is based on the philosophy that a youthful law violator is less likely to continue to offend when a peer jury decides the punishment. Teen Court attempts to interrupt developing patterns of criminal behavior by promoting feelings of self esteem and healthy attitudes toward authority. The program places a high priority on educating teens about citizenship and accepting responsibility for their actions. In some cases juvenile participants are given stern consequences for those actions.
In January of 2009, the Duval County Teen Court program was transferred from the State Attorney's Office, 4th Circuit to the Office of the Court Administrator, 4th Judicial Circuit. Teen Court accepts arrest and Civil Citation cases from the State Attorneys Office. Truancy Teen Court accepts referrals from the Duval County School District.
Dear host families, dear Vicki-lynne, dear Rotary Club of South Jacksonville
Thanksgiving Greetings
Anna Zimmermann
Dear host families, dear Vicki-lynne, dear Rotary Club of South Jacksonville
Wow! I can't believe it's been over 4 months since I left Florida! My Exchange is so far away for me, like a dream, but I can still remember so many details as if I only left yesterday. I did a good job with keeping myself busy, so I didn't really experience reverse culture shock but during my fall break, when I didn't have anything to do, I really missed Florida a lot! I know I'm pretty bad in keeping contact but I want to write you a little repot every now and then, cause there is a lot to tell you!
This summer I did a lot of hiking and did many other typical Swiss things and especially during the first two weeks I took pictures of everything, because I wanted to show you everything! I can't wait until one of y'all is coming over and I can show you around because during this exchange I realized how lucky I am to live in such a prosperous, organized and beautiful country like Switzerland and I'm sure you would love it too :)
Going back to my family and friends was so crazy! I think I've never been so nervous and excited in my life, even more than when I came to Florida. It was a partly cloudy day and when we approached Zürich airport, I could see the Alps, that was great! First thing I noticed when I left the airplane was the smell, it smelled like home. I got my luggage and I was one room away from my family and friends I was a wreck but holding them again after a year was amazing! So many people came with flags and posters and cowbells and then my family invited everyone to a garden party at my mom's house. I had pretty much no jet lag, so I started working two days later. I went hiking for a week with my grandparents and I went to France with my dad and my sisters. And then, on August 12th school started again. It was really nice to see all the people in school again, but I have a lot to catch up. I also have to decide, what I wanna study. I also help my dad to plan our family vacation next summer. Originally my sisters, my dad, my uncle and me wanted to go to Samoa again for four weeks, but since we have to fly around the whole world anyways, we thought we could stay in some cities where we have to change planes anyway so we will spend 2 nights in Shanghai, 5 nights in Auckland 18 nights in Samoa and 5 nights in New York. I'm so excited and I wish I could take one or two years off before I start studying and backpack through Asia, but if I wanna study music, I have to keep it up...
Other than that I was busy doing all the things you gotta do as an 18 year old person: register for taxes, register as organ donor, go to the bank, the doctor, the dentist, register as blood stem cell donor, register in my village,... I'm also a member of the club young of the Opera Zürich, that means I get last minute tickets for 15 CHF which is really awesome! I saw Don Giovanni and I sat in the third row!
School really starts to annoy me, I'm ready to do something else. But I only have one a half years left so that should be doable. I'm visiting different Universities now and my favourite school as now is ZHdK (Zürcher Hochschule der Künste) in Zurich. The teachers are awesome, the courses are very diverse and the city is just stunning. I wish you could see Zurich around Christmas. In the main train station hall is a christmas market where you can buy crafts and all kinds of christmas presents and bakeries. In the middle of the market is the "Swarovski tree" Which is a huge Chrismas tree which is decorated with thousands of Swarovski crystals. Over the main shopping street they hung up the christmas lights called "Lucy" which are numerous little LED lights which look like stars. And the historic part of the city is also stunning! The streets are so narrow, no cars can drive there and there are cute restaurants and stores or bakeries. Zurich is definitely the city I want to live in.
I also started to work at Mc Donalds ;) I work seven hours a week so I earn a good amount of money, since we get about three times as much as you do in America.
Two weeks ago I had my presentation in my rotary club and it was so nice to look at all the pictures again. Epecially right now, at thanksgiving, I miss Florida and you and DA. Unfortunately I'm sick right now, I have an angina and can't even eat solids, so enjoy your thanksgiving dinner for me :)
Thank you again for this amazing year in Florida and I wish you an amazing Christmastime and I hope, I see you soon!
