1. Walk in Meiji Jingu Shrine and see children dressed in kimono celebrating 7-5-3 (Yoyogi, Tokyo) –
November is the month of foliage in Tokyo, but also the month that girls ages 7 & 3 and boys aged 5 celebrate coming of age. November 15th is the actual date of 7-5-3, but families celebrate by dressing up the children and visiting shrines across Japan throughout the month of November. You can find children celebrating at most major shrines, however, Meiji Jingu is one of the most popular. If you are interested in celebrating, you can find details on kimono rentals and shrines here. Also this month there is a chrysanthemum exhibit in Meiji Jingu Shrine to enjoy.
More details on Shichi-Go-San (七五三, lit. "Seven-Five-Three") from wikipedia. 7-5-3 is a traditional rite of passage and festival day in Japan for three and seven-year-old girls and five-year-old boys, held annually on November 15 to celebrate the growth and well-being of young children. As it is not a national holiday, it is generally observed on the nearest weekend. Shichi-Go-San is said to have originated in the Heian Period amongst court nobles who would celebrate the passage of their children into middle childhood. The ages 3, 5 and 7 are consistent with East Asian numerology, which claims that odd numbers are lucky. The practice was set to the fifteenth of the month during the Kamakura Period. Over time, this tradition passed to the samurai class who added a number of rituals. Children—who up until the age of three were required by custom to have shaven heads—were allowed to grow out their hair. Boys of age five could wear hakama for the first time while girls of age seven replaced the simple cords they used to tie their kimono with the traditional obi. By the Meiji Period, the practice was adopted amongst commoners as well and included the modern ritual of visiting a shrine to drive out evil spirits and wish for a long healthy life.

3. The Tokyo Chrysanthemum Exhibition – Many think about foliage in autumn but Japanese Chrysanthemums are magnificent this time of year. The Tokyo Chrysanthemum Exhibition has been held for over 100 years, and it is known in the world as one of the best and biggest exhibits for Chrysanthemums with over 2,000 on display. To learn more about this royal flower read Chrysanthemum the Imperial Blossom by Efrot Weiss. This is a great free exhibit to spend a few hours. I had no idea there were so many different types of Chrysanthemums until I attended last year. You can just go and wander through the show, or attend some of the workshops and lectures in Japanese. I did find many of the exhibitors did speak some English to answers questions.

4. Mt. Takao & Maple Festival (Hachioji, Tokyo) – Beautiful time of the year to visit Mt. Takao which is about a one hour train ride from Shinjuku station on the Keio Line. Mt. Takao has been a location of worship for more than 1,000 years. The main temple Yakuoin is located near the summit and is a popular place for visitors to pray for Shinto-Buddist mountain gods (Tengu). There are two statues of these Tengu gods at the temple; one with a very long nose and one with a crow beak. There are a number of trails you can hike from the base to summit (599 meter high), or you can take the cable car or chair lift up half way. The foliage is magnificent, the views beautiful, and the shrines amusing and thought-provoking at the same time. Make sure you plan for 3-4 hours minimum to go up and down Mt. Takao. For more details on, and photos from Mt. Takao, and the Ukai Restaurant nearby read my post on Autumn Day at Mt. Takao.

Cardium Therapeutics' (NYSE MKT: CXM) Generx® product candidate (alferminogene tadenovec, Ad5FGF-4) is a DNA-based angiogenic growth factor therapeutic being developed for the potential treatment of patients with advanced coronary artery disease. Generx is designed to stimulate the growth of supplemental collateral blood vessels in the heart in order to enhance myocardial blood flow in patients who have insufficient blood flow due to atherosclerotic plaque restricting flow in the coronary arteries that supply the heart. Generx has progressed through four randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies at over 100 medical centers in the United States and Western Europe that have enrolled over 650 patients.
Generx is designed as a disease-modifying regenerative medicine therapeutic that can elicit structural and physiologic changes in the heart (the growth of new collateral blood vessels) following a one-time intracoronary administration from a standard cardiac infusion catheter. In contrast, traditional drug therapies such as nitrates and beta blockers provide transient symptomatic relief of anginal chest pain without changing the underlying disease. In the United States, anti-anginal drugs have traditionally been registered by the FDA based on improvements in exercise treadmill tolerance testing (ETT), which can confirm short-term symptomatic relief of angina. Based on the disease-modifying nature of Generx, Cardium believes that a more objective and appropriate measure to assess the effectiveness of angiogenic therapy is cardiac perfusion, the actual blood flow in the heart under stress using SPECT imaging (single photon emission computed tomography) or another advanced imaging technique. Cardiac perfusion directly shows and quantifies improvements in the underlying physiologic condition, i.e. insufficient blood flow under stress. Generx is currently being developed for international markets outside United States as a treatment alternative for patients who may not have access to or may not be candidates for costly and invasive surgical revascularization procedures, such as coronary artery bypass surgery and angioplasty/stents.

In any domain, professionals have an obligation to stay abreast of current trends in their practice. Similarly, in some cases, furthering one's education might be mandated.
Many would argue that education is a life-rewarding investment. However, when we, as nurses, have gotten comfortable putting in routine hours at work, adding education to the mix can be overwhelming. When family obligations and the associated finances are "thrown-in", when learning styles have changed, going back into the education milieu can seem virtually impossible. But, it is not.
There are ways in which, one can be successful and can survive re-entry into a nursing education program. For instance:
Consider financial aid resources.
Financing education is a definite hurdle. Many colleges and universities do offer scholarships based on the field of study and/or financial need. These scholarships are wonderful ways for the student to reduce debt burdens.
And, in some cases the student's unique attributes can be the basis for scholarship award. Students are advised to work with their school's financial advisor to question if scholarships do exist, and the advisors might be able to assist in the completion of applications for these scholarships.
- Effectively use financial aid resources: The US Department of Education does offer aid, and utilizing these grants and student loans can often be a necessity.
Also, scholarship options for those going back to school do exist. It might take some exploration and diligence to find these options, but they do exist, and school resource counselors might be of assistance in pointing the student in the right direction per se. Internet sites such as FinAid.org and GoingBacktoSchoolGuide.com can be of use.
- Savings Accounts: It is suggested that starting a savings account early on in the student's life is a smart strategy. Investing early for education is an effective, "debt-reducing" strategy-financial planners support this practice (scholarships.com).
- Carefully plan time for learning.
When going back to school, it is important to realize how, you, as a student effectively learn. As an adult learner, you might already know if you are an auditory learner or a visual learner. You might know if you like study groups or note cards. Regardless, as a professional student who has a host of other obligations, it is almost vital to outline a schedule that helps you to meet your academic, professional, and personal time.
- Build a framework that works for you.
Depending upon the other demands in one's life, taking a full time course load might not be a feasible option-or it might be one that sets one up for failure.
For some, depending on the other obligations, taking a part-time course load might be the better option. Taking a full-time load is not mandatory, and it is important to build a framework of professional, academic, and personal commitments that are tangible.
- Budget time efficiently.
This overlaps/relates to the importance of "building a suitable framework"—but it is important and/helpful to allot a certain time of the day for study/class work, and that scheduled time shall not be interrupted by any additional obligations.
- Network and build relationships with other students.
If study groups are formed, it might be easier to build relationships with other adult students. But, establishing relationships with other working students who are in similar situations can be instrumental in your succeeding. Some institutions do encourage and/or offer non-traditional student organizations that might serve as an effective network.
- Ask for help.
The demands of school, personal life, and professional life are too exhausting, it is important to be "ok" in asking for help with those obligations. Similarly, if the content of coursework is not understood, or if new technology is foreign, asking for help is a key to succeeding.
- Remember college credits previously earned.
In some cases, credits previously earned can be applied toward the current degree. It never hurts to ask.
Get extra credit.
Some standardized tests are less costly than certain college credits, and in some cases the credits might transfer over. In this case, however, it is important to consult with an academic or admissions counselor, too, about life experience or portfolio credit, which lets the student earn course credit for demonstrated college-level experience in the workplace.
Remember the end goal.
Yes, going back to school and taking on additional responsibilities is challenging. For some students, keeping a "bullet" list of the end goals is helpful. These goals might serve as a reminder per se of why one is going through this intense work. A framework of goals can and does serve as an effective reminder and motivator.
Take care of the student.
Taking care of the student or "yourself", is imperative. It is important to make time for sleep and relaxation. This promotes rejuvenation and allows the student to efficiently get back to the grind of study and/or coursework. It supports a healthy balance.
Aside from these tips, make sure you don't neglect your health. Juggling between work, school and family can be a major challenge but make sure you get the right amount of sleep every night. Have dinner with friends, catch up on your TV shows or even go to a spa. Don't be afraid to take some time off – it will only help you refresh your mind and gain a lot of energy back.

It's scary the way some shows worm their way into the West End, making out they're going to be decent before proving quite breathtakingly rotten. The Creeper ought to be a forgotten gem, right? Penned in 1965 by Pauline Macaulay, it's a domestic thriller laced with homosexual and class tensions, potentially comparable to Pinter's The Servant and here revived by Bill Bryden with a sterling cast.
Ian Richardson's Edward initially seems the sinister predator. A wealthy old eccentric who likes playing games, he has placed an ad seeking a young male home help who'll be lavishly cosseted. But everything will be forfeited if the contract is terminated. Alan Cox's flouncing, dangerously bitter Michel, a Soho boho, is being jettisoned even as the new boy arrives - Oliver Dimsdale's Maurice whose good-as-gold meekness could be a front.
In fact Maurice's somnambulant habit of psychotically throttling balloons with neckties is a bit of a give-away. No one could accuse Macaulay of being crafty at plotting. Murder-mysteries don't come much creakier than The Creeper. It's like some dusty revenant from regional rep, and the climactic slaughter is fantastically silly, with the killer prowling round in a Red Indian fancy-dress outfit.
The acting, by contrast, is pretty impeccable even if Michel verges on a camp, bitchy caricature. Dimsdale deserves more work, Harry Towb is endearing as the doddery butler, and Richardson has tenderness as well as dry humour. But they must just be in this for the money, right?

Relationships are simply a game of chase. In the years I have been alive, I haven't seen a real relationship among the young people of my age- when the cat is away, the mice will play. Here's how to steal your friends's girlfriend, let's get mingling.
1. Make your intentions clear
Girls like a guy who is very straight forward and straight to the point- a guy who is not straight to the point is thought to be shitty and a coward- and, who would want a coward on top of her?
2. Be nice to her
When you are nice to a girl you get an orange light to her panties and it won't be long until you get a green light to that warm wet place. When you are nice to her, she will start trusting you and when her boyfriend and her are having issues, you might offer her sympathy dick- you are a winner!
3. Get her to trust you
Trust is a step that gets you closer to hitting her, if she can trust you, she can give you some after a vow of secrecy. Trust will get you anywhere and girls are easy to trusting their boyfriend's FRIENDS

Dancing with the Stars
I never miss this show.
Why? Because people - celebrities (some questionable with that label) take to the floor and the screen to learn to dance. In front of millions of people. And week after week have their performance critiqued by professionals.
I would not be anyway near that brave to have my performance evaluated on air by professionals. In front of millions of people. And I know what I am doing. Most days anyway.
Donald Driver won. Was he the best dancer? No. What I loved about him, week after week, dance after dance, was he took the feedback and said, 'I can do better.' He never complained. (Well once with Len but really who could blame him?)
He set out to do something he had never done before and in front of millions of people said every single week - I can do better. I can learn more. I owe it to the people voting for me. I owe it to my partner. He would do whatever necessary to keep on keeping on.
He watched tapes. He reviewed his performances. He figured out that the key to winning was that crazy freestyle dance. If you haven't seen it, it's one of my very favorites. He was spot on.
Wow, what a work ethic. What an impressive commitment. What a model. Good for you, Donald Driver. Thanks for showing what's possible with hard work and an indomitable spirit.

OK, Dee, I'm going public with my DWTS fandom here :-)
You know what I loved about Donald's approach? He did something completely unexpected in the freestyle dance. It was risky, not crazy-risky. There was thought put into it. He said, "everyone's gonna expect me to do hip-hop, so let's do something different."
I also admire him making no excuses for his life situation. He came from abysmal circumstances, but he turned it around and made something of himself.

I totally agree with you. He was incredible. Never once did I hear him complain about anything and he just kept going.
I also thought later that he had a great partner. She kept him focused and on track. She let him have all the spotlight. She was incredible too.
Glad to know that you watch too. :)

Great post! Although I do not watch Dancing with the Stars, I love the message here. Hard work, commitment and passion can lead to all kinds of success. Just believing in yourself and what you can do, (even if there are millions of people watching and critiquing) will take you places that you never imagined.

"I can do better. I can learn more. I owe it to the people voting for me. I owe it to my partner."
This is awesome work ethic. I believe if you approach everything with this attitude, you will go far in life. You have to be driven beyond expectations!

|Reviews for Cherita Chen: Memoirs of an Ugly Geisha
| JohnTheDuck chapter 3 . 1/19/2013
Hmmmmm... I'm not sure what I think of this one. I think I like it, but it would be better if it was longer. And you wrote another chapter. That would be nice aswell.
| Marjomeow chapter 3 . 8/2/2011
C'est... Mignon? :3
I like :)
| glunkus chapter 3 . 3/1/2011
Oh my gosh.
I can't explain how much I love you for writing Cherita's position.
I honestly hate myself for laughing at the whole "Go back to China" quote, but I really think that she deserves more attention. She's...interesting. (:
I think you're doing a wonderful job of showing how she feels inside, and that's what a diary is all about, right? Writing a diary is the single place that it's okay to be OOC. (:
I think you're doing an awesome job, and I can't wait for more. :3
| SillyJo chapter 2 . 11/16/2009
Okay. Hahaha. This is entertaining! Especially considering I make fun of Cherita all the time in real life, and she's not even a real person. But despite what you said at the end of the second entry, I thought the first was perfect. Really, if you look in ANY teenage girl's diary it would be whiney like that. Though I do think Cherita would probably have more of an outlook on life. I also like how you vaguely mentioned an infatuation with Donnie. If you add more (which I pray you do), please touch on that more.
| J-awesomeness chapter 2 . 9/29/2009
dawgg, don't be sorry for nothing. this is great, and the first diary entry? who cares. i still thought that was great even if you didn't like it so much.

Poor Cherita! She's my favorite character and I feel so bad for her. I like the idea of posting journal entries. :) Good job.

Thanks for helping!
Like always the Egon`s foot is good, but I don`t like the system that have that you have to go to the bardisk to order and paid when you order. This is a reason why I dont choose Egon if there is others nearby.
Went solo today for dinner and a beer.
Ordered a large beer and a Rib eye steak. Only half full restaurant and the food came quickly.
The Rib eye was superb, so tender and perfectly cooked and I really enjoyed my visit.
The steak and a large beer was 60USD, but it was worth it.
If you are more than 2 people it's a hell, all need to order at the bar, no waiter service. Wine was taken from a bag in box, go to tgi instead, I will never come back
We just needed a small dinner....and stopped by "accident" at Egon in Jessheim, trying to get away from boring hotel-food. Got a very friendly welcome in a great restaurant., It felt cosy and "homely"... the staff was very helpful and the food was great !
Try it, you'll not be disappointed
Had a great lunch on constitutional day with my wife. Weather was perfect and we got a nice table outside. My wife had fajitas and a beer and I had sliced beef and a Sprite. Food was nice and the bill ended at about 85 USD including tip.
When you are unsure of where to eat - you always know what to expect at Egon. We had baked potatoes with all the trimmings. It was what we wanted and it was sufficient. The staff is professional and one always feel welcome.
This is not a restaurant, but a gloryfied cafe. The food is grossly overprized and is not all that good either. Use your money elsewhere.
The walls are decorated with old and new objects. There is enough here to look at while you wait for your food. What I like is the serving system. You ordered everything at the front desk, pay, and then sit down and wait. The service is fast and friendly. The food is good. I have yet to have a bad...
Has some snacks on the way home from a musical and it was what I expected even if its a bit pricy for swedish taste. But Norway are rather expencive so its expected.
Also many eateries are closed or have way shorter open hours at Sundays but this place is open to 23.
We went to this restaurant because we wanted something light, because it was in the late afternoon. we chose a salad and mineral water. The order ws placed at the desk, and it did not last very long until the waiter served us. Payment was done quickly. A Nice and friendly Place, and a good athmosphere.

Subject: California PE/SE References
I am, and have been for the last several years, a licensed structural engineer in Ohio (which has a generic PE certification). I have passed the NCEES SEI and am currently sitting for the NCEES SEII test (which I expect to pass). I have been involved in structural design mostly in industrial facilities across the US (under the supervision of my boss, an SE in California), but I have a broad range of experience in design in high wind and moderate seismic areas.
I want to get a license in California and, the way that I understand it, I still have to pass 2 Civil PE tests (one 2½ hr surveying test, one 2½ hr seismic test) in order to gain a Civil PE in California and then I have to pass the 8 hr seismic test in order to gain an SE certification.
My predicament is that I live in Ohio and the only California SE that I know in Ohio who is familiar with my work is my boss. California requires references from 4 civil PE's, licensed in California for my California Civil PE, and references from 3 SE's licensed in California. I understand that I could also gain references by having someone look over samples of my work and/or talking with me and then judging that he/she feels I am qualified to sit for these tests. Would anyone in California be willing to do this? I still have to dig through my old calcs to find something that demonstrates my level of experience, but I wanted to put out my feelers for willing parties and/or suggestions on how to get them.
And, if willing, please contact me privately, unless you'd like to do this for any number of other people who are or will be in my predicament. Thanks.

"Veterans' preference legislation like that embodied in AB 1383 has been a key focus of SHRM members on the state level since Washington SHRM and Arkansas SHRM led the way in their states advocating for this legislation back in 2011 and 2013," said Jason Gabhart, SHRM California state government affairs advisor. "For years, SHRM has worked closely with the Obama administration and numerous veteran organizations to enhance employment opportunities for our veterans, and it will continue to do so in the future."
"We applaud the members of the Assembly Employment & Labor Committee on their unanimous passing of bill AB 1383 and are equally delighted to learn today, that the bill has also passed the appropriations committee," said Mike Letizia, CalSHRM state director. "CalSHRM is extremely proud to sponsor and support AB 1383. We send our heart-felt thanks to Assemblyman Dave Jones (D-Sacramento) for his efforts in assisting returning military service heroes with their transition back to private-sector employment. It has been an honor and privilege to work with him in these efforts. CalSHRM now looks to advocating the HR voice for prompt consideration of AB 1383 in the California Senate."

Blog Notes, Part Deux
Filed Under Announcements | 2 Comments
If you click on a "comments" link, you'll notice that the look is a little different. I'm working on importing all the old comments from Haloscan to the new service, but so far unsuccessfully. There are also social networking links at the bottom of each post, but I'm not sure I like how they look yet, so I might switch to something else. In any case, if you drag over any icon, they pop up and you can post a link to your account on Twitter, Facebook, etc.
As for the comments, if you fill in your name, web link, etc. the first time you comment, it should remember you for subsequent comments. The comments will remain "open" like they were before unless we run across a reason to put them on moderation. I'm still tweaking the features on the comments as well. We're also on a new server, but you shouldn't notice much of a difference — if anything it loads a little faster now.
I'm looking at some other stuff for the blog as well. Back to work I go…

***SPOILERS*** Going to spend the weekend in the wilds of rural
Pennsylvania a group of young people get the surprise of their lives in
running in to the the crazed and LSD brain damaged lumberjack Cyrus
who's been hunting the woods around "Dark Shade Creek" for the last 40
or so years. It's when the vacationers, Emma Vanessa Paige Chuck Doug &
Spank, got to the place that all hell broke loose! Not just for them
but all those in the vicinity of "Shade Creek" who in fact warned that
they to stay away from it!
The usual slasher on the loose movie taking place in the wilds and unaccessible, by cell phone, woods of Pennsylvania has Cyrus, who by then must be well into his 70's, do the kind of job on his more or less helpless and not to bright victims as good as Michael Myers or Jason with hockey mask did in the "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" movies did on theirs. There's the usual and predictable heroic of the hero in the flick who we can spot as soon as he or she appears on the screen. As well as the not so surprising surprise ending but the film hold up and keeps the both tension and horror going for it almost its entire 90 minutes of screen time. That's far more here then you can expect from like wise horror/slasher movies that cost a lot more and are far more well known as "Dark Shade Creek" is.
One fact about the movie is how well made it was despite it's microscopic budget of a measly pocket change amount of $500.00! That was just enough to buy a video or camcorder and a couple of DVD disks or video tapes to make it! Yet it's as good if not better then movies of that type that cost millions and had well known actors and actresses in them!

Craig Massei: You are correct that the expectations are higher than ever for Smith, and that's sort of intertwined with the expectations of the team. It's Year 3 for Smith as a NFL starting quarterback - and that's the year that young quarterbacks are expected to take the biggest leap in their development. It's also Year 3 of the Mike Nolan era in San Francisco - and that's the year of a new program that a previously downtrodden team is expected to win again. It's not going to happen for the 49ers unless Smith takes the next step in his development, which he certainly did last year after a horrible rookie season. One thing to remember about Smith: He turned 23 in May and very well could be the youngest starting quarterback in the NFL this season for the third consecutive year. He's still a little wet behind the ears.
That said, Smith has looked every bit this spring like a quarterback who is ready to play winning football. He has always been mature emotionally, but now he's maturing in both the mental and physical aspects of the game, too. He knows the offense, knows where to go with the football, his decision-making is crisp and he's getting much sharper with his passes. It hurts that he has to start over with a new set of receivers for the third consecutive year, but he developed a favorite target this spring with phenom tight end Vernon Davis, and the talent at receiver has been substantially upgraded. There once was a concern that Smith might be a bust; now the question is if he can be a great QB someday. Nobody expects him to get there in 2007, but he's very well on his way to being a good QB - if he isn't there already. Expect him to be a quarterback that's good enough to win this season.
DF: Jim Hostler, Smith's former quarterbacks coach, will be San Francisco's fifth offensive coordinator in the last five seasons. How do Hostler and Smith work together, and what sort of changes might happen with the desire for a vertical offense in 2006?
CM: The best thing that could have happened to Smith - and probably for the entire San Francisco offense - was for Hostler to take over as offensive coordinator. Hostler was San Francisco's quarterbacks coach the past two seasons and has worked closely with Smith since he was drafted. So, while Norv Turner played a big role in Smith's development last year, so did Hostler, and Smith has looked assured this spring running Hostler's offense, which is much more diverse than the vertical system Turner ran last year and took with him to become head coach of the San Diego Chargers.
Hostler says San Francisco's offense sometimes will look just like Turner's system, but it will never look the same all the time thanks to the West Coast principles he has incorporated. The new hybrid attack appears well suited to the skills of Smith, who appeared to prosper this spring using concepts he learned from the different systems the 49ers ran during his first two seasons (San Francisco ran a version of the West Coast system under coordinator Mike McCarthy in 2005).
DF: Between blocking fullback Moran Norris and halfback Frank Gore, the 49ers might have had the NFC's best backfield in 2006. Both players received lucrative extensions in the offseason. Is there any reason we shouldn't expect the same sort of record-breaking production this season?
CM: The only reason I can think of would be injury or a bolt of lightning striking one of them on the forehead on his way into the team facility. Gore has looked better than ever this spring and is so determined to make a run at 2,000 yards this year that he can barely contain himself waiting for the season to begin. He has lost about five pounds to add a little quickness and, as he puts it, "finish my runs."
Norris is just an out-and-out beast in front of Gore who also figures to get a few more carries and passes thrown his way this season. Norris was as good a blocker in his first season with the 49ers than Fred Beasley - a 2003 Pro Bowler - ever was. And Beasley was a darn good blocker who paved the way for Charlie Garner, Garrison Hearst and/or Kevin Barlow to produce 1,000-yard seasons in four of the five seasons Beasley was the full-time starter. Gore, obviously, is headed for another one of those - and maybe much more.
DF: San Francisco's receiver corps has been overhauled again, which must be good news for Alex Smith. Former Seahawk Darrell Jackson and Washington State speedburner Jason Hill join Arnaz Battle to form what could be a boon for the offense if it all works out. The potential downside seems to be that Jackson still has turf toe issues, Hill is a rookie and Battle might be better as a complementary receiver. How do you think the receiver situation will shake out?
CM: Well, you have to throw Ashley Lelie in there, because the team gave him a two-year deal with a $2 million bonus in March with the expectation that he can challenge for a starting position and stretch defenses with his speed. Battle is an underrated player who is fearless, catches everything and does a lot of the dirty work like blocking downfield, and he had a very good spring while continuing to develop a rapport with Smith. Jackson (toe) and Lelie (quad) both sat out spring workouts with injuries, but they are expected to be full-go for the start of training camp, and if either can live up to some of the better things they've done earlier in their careers, the 49ers are going to have their best WR corps since 2003 and a lot more ammunition for Smith to work with.
I'm not sure what to make of Lelie, who comes with a lot of baggage, but Jackson is a perfect fit for what the 49ers want to do with their offense, Battle is a solid gamer, Hill has a lot of potential, and there also is a pack of other holdover veterans/young prospects who could fight their way into picture, including 2006 third-rounder Brandon Williams, the team's punt returner, and 2005 seventh-rounder Marcus Maxwell. The latter led NFL Europa in receiving touchdowns this spring on his way to all-league honors and a World Bowl title, catching two more TD passes in the championship game.
DF: The offensive line was a pleasant surprise in 2006. Are there any issues that could lead to a decline in 2007?
CM: Actually, the offensive line is the strength of the entire team. Expect a boost in performance as the young players the 49ers are grooming to become starters push the regulars in front of them. Justin Smiley, for instance, is one of the better young guards in the game, but he is being pushed heavily by 2005 second-rounder David Baas, who the team can't keep on the bench much longer. 2003 first-rounder Kwame Harris has started each of the team's 32 games the past two seasons at right tackle, but he is likely to be forced out as a starter this year by either Adam Snyder or Joe Staley, whom the team selected in the first round of the April draft.
Eric Heitmann, who broke his tibia at Seattle in Week 15, has already recovered enough to participate in spring drills, and he's developing into one of the NFC's better centers. Larry Allen is back at left guard after reaching the Pro Bowl last season, and Jonas Jennings is a solid left tackle when he can stay healthy and keep himself in the lineup. This should be a very good line again this season, but the 49ers may try to accelerate the progress of some of their youngsters as the contracts of Allen, Harris and Smiley all are up at the end of the season.

Transit union says more work needed to fix Baltimore's Metro safety problems
Transit union says more work needed to fix Baltimore's Metro safety problems
Originally posted by Omaha Steve in the Latest News forum
Transit union leaders said Thursday that plans to fix the Baltimore Metro fall short of addressing major safety and health concerns that put riders and workers at risk, and called for an emergency shutdown of the system.
David McClure, president of Baltimore Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1300, said the Maryland Transit Administration has neglected the main problems his workers have raised, despite this week's announcement of a 23-day partial shutdown while the agency performs $16 million in critical maintenance.
"This is not only about the union, it's about the riding public as well," McClure said. "We have one objective here, and that's to provide a safe and efficient service to the riding public, which at this point, I can't say that we're actually doing that."
MTA officials said safety is their top priority. In a statement, the agency said nearly $670 million was spent in the past year on planned safety upgrades. Of that total, $600 million was spent on 90 new subway cars and a new signaling system.

Hartwig Tauber, FTTH Council Europe
We recently spoke with Hartwig Tauber, Director General of FTTH Council Europe, who shared with us the insights on his presentation topic ahead of the event, focussing on customer feedback on FTTH and his views on future fibre deployments.
1. Could you tell us about the FTTH Council Europe's key projects for 2015?
HT: "With the new European Commission in place, we start a "Call for Action" campaign to ensure that policy makers understand that Europe needs to act now to have FTTH in place in time. Otherwise there is a strong risk that the European Union will suffer economically on lagging behind on broadband connectivity in global competition. Special topics of the campaign will be the discussion of the senseless "technology neutrality" approach, pointing to new business models in particular for FTTH in rural areas, making policy makers understand that the state can act as anchor client and the topic of consumer transparency to make sure that end users really get the broadband speeds that marketing promises."
2. At the conference, you will be addressing the topic of customer experience with FTTH – could you please give us a little bit of insight into what exactly you will be focusing on in this presentation?
HT: "Many people still think that FTTH is just faster internet. But when talking to end users who already enjoy superfast broadband speeds on fibre, we realised that they start to use their online connection in a very improved way. This includes increased days of teleworking, use of creative applications for video, pictures and audio, different ways of online communication including video chats and much more. Therefore we decided to check if those individual stories are also reflected in a broader scale. The result is a study which compares the consumer experience of FTTH and old fashioned DSL/wireless customers. We were impressed by the results. While I will present details at your conference, I can already say: FTTH customers are happy customers!"
3. What do you see as the greatest hurdles in deploying fibre at this point in time, and how does the FTTH Council Europe help overcome these hurdles?
HT: "One of the biggest challenges in Europe is the lack of understanding of decision makers and politicians. In many countries they still believe that the "market" will ensure a full scale FTTH roll out. At the same time they forget that the market players are all private companies that want to make their shareholders happy. Therefore they don't go for long term future proof solutions but simply want to earn maximum profit with minimum investment. Giving public money to them – in particular for rural areas – is nonsense. The time where a state owned monopolist is implementing the broadband plans of a government are over. We in the FTTH Council Europe have a special focus in our "Call for Action" campaign to make this situation clear to decision makers. And to point out alternative solutions e.g. for rural areas where separated entities for infrastructure, network operation and service offering could open the doors for investors."
4. What is your long-term vision for fibre deployment and the future use of fibre, over the next 10 years?
HT: "We believe that we are still at the beginning of a new industrial revolution: the age of online communication. With a broader availability of FTTH and therefore overcoming all the boring bandwidth bottlenecks, economy and society will face another wave of new services and application that will improve the quality of our lives. While cars will drive autonomous in 10 years, people will work and enjoy entertainment from wherever they want. The concept of "working place" and "household" that was introduced only 200 years ago with the industrial revolution will disappear again in many parts of our society."
5. What are you most looking forward to at the conference in April 2015?
HT: "I am looking forward to interesting debates with those people who still stick in the past and believe that expensive copper upgrade or wireless solutions can further delay FTTH roll out. I call them the "horse lobby" based on a famous quote of Henry Ford: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." We know that faster horses will not work – we need to go for FTTH!"

I've used Ganttic in a support role for around three years now. As a function we probably don't use it to anywhere near its full potential, it mainly acts as a visual tool for workload planning within our Creative functions. We duplicate the high-level tasks from our workflow software and put them into Ganttic along with any staff absences to give us a quick reference for resourcing and availability.Ganttic is very straightforward to use, with different views and categories, and entering new tasks is as simple as dragging along the timeline to create a new entry. We have ours split down into functions, such as Creative, Publishing, etc, and then each type of project is colour-coded, e.g. direct mail, website fix and so on. Lots of opportunities for simple customization which you can do yourself, adding additional fields, categories, project numbers and so on. A Future development I'd like to see would be the ability to import projects from different software, such as MS Project.andnbsp;

What at the symptoms of a baby who has fits/seizures
Every now and then, my 10 month old son will tense up his whole body and make little fists and sometimes shout at the same time, or make an angry sound. He will scrunch up his eyes as well, as though he's putting a lot of effort into this ... what every he is doing. I'm starting to get concerned that perhaps these are little fits that he is having, or is he just playing games with me. Can anyone help, please.

March 7th Down the years,Hard hitter Viv Richards born
On this day in 1952 Viv Richards born in Antigua
A legend of the sport, Sir Issac Vivian Alexander Richards, was born in St.John's, Antigua. Few batsman in world cricket have intimidated bowlers as so much as Viv did and few had the swagger of his. Richards dominated bowlers for over two a long time during the 70s and 80s. He averaged 47 in ODI cricket at a time when 30 was considered 'good'. Despite averaging over 50 in test cricket, a few of his best performances got here in the shorter layout. He smashed a wonderful 138 towards England within the Final of the 1979 World Cup taking the hosts completely out of the sport. His 189 in opposition to at historical Trafford in 1984 ranks amongst the excellent innings ever played within the shorter format. Richards was named among the five Fantastic players of the twentieth century by Wisden. Additionally, on this day, Sunil Gavaskar became the first batsman to reach 10,000 runs in test match history.

Emergency Floor: Rice Graduates Raising Funds to Improve Refugee Camps
Last year, 38 million refugees fled conflict and natural disasters. Many live in camps where tent-like shelters provide little to no barrier to the dirt below, exposing them to parasitic infections, flooding, waterborne diseases, and freezing temperatures.
"A floor under your feet is just as important as a roof over your head," says Scott Key, who along with Sam Brisendine, developed Emergency Floor while students at the Rice School of Architecture. The project was selected as a finalist for a $150,000 grant from USAID's Development Innovation Ventures. In order to quality for the grant, they must raise $50,000. Their crowdsourcing campaign ends July 15 and is $20,000 from reaching the goal.

According to reliable sources, our blogs are mostly read by people from Ireland and America, so firstly thank you to you all (and everyone else) for taking the time to find out what we're up to! Secondly, if you are Irish or American then this blog is right up your street, it's all about Halloween around the world.
Where It All Began
Ireland! The Celts, who lived in what is now known as Ireland, 2,000 years ago began celebrating the festival of Samhain. The 1st of November was the Celt's New Year, marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter. This day was believed to be a day when the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred and so on the 31st October they celebrated Samhain with huge sacred bonfires, burning crops and animals as sacrifices to their deities.
The Romans conquered Ireland around 43 A.D., which led the festival of Samhain to be merged with the Roman festival of Feralia, a day to commemorate the dead. Pope Gregory III expanded on the day further by moving the Roman 'All Martyrs Day' to the 1st November and included all Saints in the celebration to – creating All Saints Day. The influence of Christianity in Ireland gradually blended older Celtic rites and Samhain traditions with All Soul's Day (a day created by the Church to reputedly replace the Celtic festival with a Church sanctioned celebration).Then began a slow transition in language from All-hallows and All-hallows Eve to All Saints Day and Halloween!
Halloween in the USA!
Great movies such as E.T, Hocus Pocus and soon Hocus Pocus 2 (only slightly excited about that one…) have given us Brits unattainable ideas of what Halloween should be like, because it seems no one does Halloween better than America. According to a random online Top 10 list, the best town in America to trick-or-treat is Cornwall in New York…though we're happy to start a debate on that if you think your town is better! People go all out to decorate their homes and streets, the costumes are carefully planned and brilliantly executed and we do realise that we are making complete generalisations here. We're sure there are Americans who dislike Halloween, just as there are some Brits that must have live in the US at some point because their Halloween celebrations are legendary.
Dunstane Halloween Traditions
The beauty of working in a hotel in Edinburgh is having a multicultural team. We popped into a staff meeting to ask everyone what their home countries Halloween traditions were…
Caroline, Zimbabwe
"We don't really celebrate Halloween in Zim, not to the same extent as the rest of the world anyway! There are parties and we get dressed up, but the children don't go trick or treating – not really safe to go out at night with the native wildlife we have!
Zuza, Poland
"Some people do go to Halloween parties, but for us Dzień Wszystkich Świętych is more important. You know this as All Saints Day. The 1st and 2nd November are holidays in Poland and at night, we visit the graves of our loved ones and place candles and flowers to remember and honour them. The cemetery is not a scary place of ghosts, it's beautiful and full of love on this night, my whole family go together and it's one of my favourite nights of the year."
One tradition Zuza also mentioned is something her Mum, who lives in Germany does. The Germans make sure all knives are put safely away, to avoid harm from or to any returning spirits who cross whilst the line between worlds is blurred! This tradition was too funny (and at the same time, very sensible if you believe in the spirit world) to leave out.
Kathryn, Orkney
On Orkney, Halloween is more a night of mischief! It used to be called Devilment Night, which means night of mischief, because of all the pranks we play on people. A blind-eye is turned to children (and lots of adults) on this night with majority of people seeing the funny side when their tractor has been moved or being covered in egg and flour! You can hardly blame us for a night of fun and high spirits at this time of year, when the long, dark and cold winter is about to batter the Island…
Derek, our Electrician from John Nobles
Just passing through to fix lights, Derek added his own Scottish Halloween tradition…"My own kids are old enough to go off out with their friends and my neighbours with small kids know the secret knock that makes me open the door for them trick-or-treating. Apart from that the curtains are shut and all the lights are turned off. There's a "design flaw" in my house though, a small window next to the front door, which could give the game away if someone looks through it…so I make sure that's safely covered up using a dishcloth and sellotape"
Whether you're going to be celebrating Halloween in Edinburgh or a nice boutique hotel to hide out in for the night (we'll ask the ghosts to leave you be!) then take a look at our Special Offers.

You've probably been told that there's nothing you can do to help protect your vision once you start feeling the effects of age. But the fact is you don't just have to simply let your sight fade away like an aging photograph.
You can fight back!
It's not that you've been lied to. Instead it's just that most people aren't aware that there are supplements that can help improve your vision naturally.
But we're here to open your eyes…
Good vision is about more than just carrots
Everyone's heard the joke about rabbits and glasses (you know, have you ever seen a rabbit wearing a pair?), so I'm sure that you already know the beta carotene found in carrots is good for your eyesight.
But if you really want to support good vision naturally, you're going to need to do a lot more than just chow down on carrots. You will need to stock up on some other vision backing nutrients.
The best supplements to help improve your vision naturally
You should consider working these top four vision-supporting supplements into your daily routine, too.
Lutein and Zeaxanthin:
Technically these are two of the four supplements to help improve your vision naturally, but they work so well together that you can consider them a team.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are nutrients found in the inner eye that are essential to eye health. Not only do they work together to help protect against sun damage, but they can also help your eyes recover from glare and sunlight faster, so you see better inside the house and outside in bright sunlight.
Just as importantly, they may help reduce some of the normal wear and tear we see on our eyes as they age. Over the years exposure to UV and blue light can lead to damage and inflammation, but lutein and zeaxanthin may be able to help with that.
Here's the thing about lutein and zeaxanthin, though. As important as they are to your eyesight, as much as you may need them to improve your vision naturally, most people don't get enough of either of them (let alone both).
See, your body doesn't make them on its own. The ONLY source of these two important nutrients is your diet. But have you checked a food label for lutein or zeaxanthin lately? They're not common. And since most of us don't get enough of them, supplements may be your best bet here.
Now that we've sold you on the importance of lutein and zeaxanthin as supplements to help improve your vision naturally, what if we told you there was another nutrient that was similar, but even more powerful?
That's right – astaxanthin has even more antioxidant power than the first two. In fact, astaxanthin is so powerful it can help protect the cells in your eyes from damage—or even death—caused by your daily exposure to toxins… pollution… chemicals… even sunlight.
But that's not the only thing astaxanthin can do for your vision. This powerful nutrient can also help your eyes adjust from close vision to far. So if it feels like your arms are getting shorter whenever you try to read the menu at your favorite restaurant, astaxanthin could help.
Hyaluronic Acid:
Hyaluronic acid is an essential part of the lubrication throughout your entire body. In other words it's an important compound for keeping your eyes moist and healthy.
But more than that, hyaluronic acid also acts as a shock absorber. When it comes to your eyes, it's what allows them to bounce back from minor impacts.
Without hyaluronic acid, your eyes get dry, hard, and just don't work. No wonder it could help to maintain and improve your vision naturally!
4 top vision supporting supplements in one
We get it. Of COURSE you want to help improve your eyesight naturally. Who doesn't?
But we also understand that taking all four of these vision-supporting supplements separately would be incredibly inconvenient. Figuring out the right dosages, when you should take each one and then choking them all down would be a big challenge for even the most organized among us. And then there's the cost of buying four separate supplements each month.
Getting them all in a single supplement would be far more convenient and affordable. One we like is OcuXanthin from our friends and affiliates at NorthStar Nutritionals.
Specially formulated with the top four supplements to help improve your vision naturally, OcuXanthin has been carefully researched to give your eyesight the boost you've been looking for. But don't take our word for it. Click here to learn more about OcuXanthin, and see what you've been missing!

Dumbo Octopus Eggs
Geege Schuman stashed this in Octopus
Stashed in: Giant Squid!
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
Dumbo octopus is a type of octopus named after Walt Disney's famous character Dumbo the elephant because of the ear-like fins. There are around 37 different species of dumbo octopi. These interesting animals can be found in all oceans of the world. They can be rarely seen because they are living on the bottom of the sea on a depth ranging from 1 300 to 23 000 feet. Other species of octopi live in shallower waters. Since not much is known about dumbo octopi, they are not considered to be endangered species.
Okay, that's brilliant. Wow. First time I've heard of them, and their eggs are beautiful.

|Reviews for To Color A Marigold
| Tuliharja chapter 1 . 8/8/2011
This was really deep. That why I'm already sorry if I can't express myself that well in this review...When something is enough deep, the words just seems just so useless to describe the thing.
I really enjoyed how you'd captured Kira's personality. How he saw the world he saw and how it seemed sort of 'crash' down because Gin's betraying...That why, it was somewhat ironic in the battle (last, big one) his world seemed to come back. And thanks to Kyoraku.
I usually dislike Kira, but this actually added enough depth to him, for me not to dislike him anymore that badly. This was really interesting to read...And I could just see in my eyes Kira's face when he heard Kyoraku's words.
| Tomas the Betrayer chapter 1 . 5/2/2010
This right here shows a godlike ability to touch upon another person's creation. Maybe 'godlike' sounds like over-the-top flattery, but I gave it some thought, and the word came out as appropriate in my mind.
I like Kira. It started out as a simple appreciation for the ruthlessness he displayed fighting Rangiku. But my favor was cemented only recently, when he mentally devastated the rogue zanpakuto Kazeshini before cutting the cringing wretch down. That was a great scene. But here I find that you have gotten closer to him than I ever did, VioTanequil!
I really liked the mental image of Kira explaining his fighting style to members of the Eleventh, and gaining no more than befuddled stares from those muscle-heads. "...and that's why I do it!" "...Guh...?" I had intended to review after reading that. But you really threw me for a loop at the end, when you pointed out that of all the things Izuru regretted, his victories in battle were not on the list. It would have been criminal for me not to leave some words after being stunned by that thought! And it's really a smart way to look at it. Only Ichigo goes, "Oh, this isn't how I wanted to win! It's not fair, here, cut my arm and leg off!" With our downcast lieutenant, it's not a matter of coming out feeling like you did a heroic job of it. It's finishing the fight before it can finish you. You're not supposed to be pleased-as-punch afterwards.
Kira and Kyoraku should go out drinking after this, they're both inclined that way to begin with. Remember that hilarious scene after the 'Shinigami Golden' description of his zanpakuto, when Hisagi remarked on how Izuru always hit the bottle so hard? Really, those two were meant to get smashed together! Well, I think that's all I have to say. My compliments on being able to create such a wonderfully insightful work. Keep it up, VioTio!

Wow. Deep thinking. That's what I like about your fics. A lot of them are like that. I appreciate people that think things out. And you're so good at delivering that. -WV

Interesting insightful intake on Izura's "grief and war" values. I liked this. It was nicely written and executed. :)
