closed this morning due to number of illnesses
Send a link to a friend
[November 02, 2012]
After numerous children and staff fell ill, Chester-East Lincoln
School was closed on Friday morning. A note on the CEL website,
http://www.cel61.com/, explains that the school was closed this
morning due to the number of illnesses.
No authority could be reached this afternoon to say if the school
might reopen on Monday. LDN will continue to seek an answer to that
According to the Logan County Department of Public Health, no other
schools or other institutions are reporting illness at this time.
Mary Anderson, communicable disease
coordinator at the county health department, said Friday
afternoon that at this time the school is experiencing an acute
gastrointestinal outbreak.
"To clarify, the health department did
not tell the school to close. That was their decision,"
Anderson said.
state lab has requested three to five stools and/or vomitus
specimens for
testing. Stool specimens being sent to Springfield would
confirm Norovirus. One specimen was delivered to the the state
lab today via a health department employee. One came in late,
so it will
go in on Monday.
"I have encouraged the school and parents I
have spoken with to submit specimens," Anderson said.
Specimen containers and directions are available at the
health department's front desk.
The health department's food sanitarians
made an inspection of the kitchen today. Based upon their
observations, it did not appear that food was the cause.
Anderson emphasized that the illness is
highly contagious even as aerosol from vomitus. Proper hygiene
and hydration are important during outbreak situations.
The Logan County
Department of Public Health is located at 109 Third St. in
Lincoln; phone 217-735-2317.
General clinic hours at the health department are
Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
For more information on Norovirus, visit the Illinois

For those who like tofu,
Happy Soy
Happy Soy tofu is made using pure processes, with no antifoaming agents, emulsifiers or oil.
This tofu is made slowly at low temperatures, free from additives and with the pure taste of soybeans.
We prepare the best soybeans to make pure additive-free tofu
Cleaning soy beans
Carefully selected grade 1 soybeans are sorted from pebbles and other particles and then washed in clean water.
Soaking in cold water
The cleaned soybeans are soaked in cold water at 10-15℃.
Milling soy beans
The soybeans soaked in cold water are milled finely using a millstone.
Making soy soup
Bubbles form when the finely milled soy is boiled. The bubbles are removed using a device designed to remove bubbles, instead of using antifoaming agents.
* Antifoaming agent: Additive that artificially removes bubbles
From the boiled soy, the bean curd (tofu residue) is strained, and soy milk is created and sorted.
Cooling and Maturing
Soy milk is matured at low temperatures. During this time, the bubbles in the soy milk are removed to make it softer and better to convey the taste of the soybeans.
The soy milk that has been matured at low temperatures is firmed using natural coagulating agents made of seawater, without adding emulsifiers or oil.
* Oil: Cooking oil used as emulsifier
Completion of tofu
Tofu and clean water are packaged together. The packaged tofu is sterilized at 85℃ or higher for at least 30 minutes, and then sent refrigerated to consumers.

Blackhawks try to maintain home dominance vs. Wild
NHL Headlines
CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks will look to stay unbeaten in regulation time when they host the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night at the United Center.
Chicago (3-0-1) has won both of its games on home ice and has outscored opponents 21-7 so far this season. The Blackhawks have six players who are averaging at least a point per game.
Meanwhile, Minnesota (0-1-1) is looking for its first win of the season and figures to be well rested after a four-day break between games. The Wild allowed nine goals and scored six in their first two games.
Minnesota coach Bruce Boudreau expects to rely on an unorthodox lineup because of injuries to top forwards Zach Parise (undisclosed) and Mikael Granlund (groin). He likely will play 11 forwards and seven defensemen, mixing and matching his four offensive lines as the game goes along.
"In a perfect world, would you like 12 (forwards) and six (defensemen)? Yeah," Boudreau said. "I think this is a great challenge. I don't think it will happen all year long. Time will tell, but usually things work their way out."
For the Blackhawks, nearly everything worked out in the first four games. Chicago enjoyed a lead at the end of the first and second period in every game, and its only setback came in overtime against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Chicago left winger Brandon Saad leads the team with five goals and two assists. Right winger Patrick Kane (two goals, four assists) is one of three Blackhawks who have notched six points in the first four games.
On Tuesday night, Blackhawks rookie Alex DeBrincat joined the fun with his first NHL goal against Montreal. The 19-year-old hopes to keep the momentum going when he and his teammates return home to face the Wild.
DeBrincat credited veteran linemate Patrick Sharp with easing his transition to the NHL.
"He's always talking to me, always trying to give me advice on where to be and how to play at this level," DeBrincat said in Montreal. "He has been a big help to me."
Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk likely will be given the responsibility of cooling the Blackhawks. The next win will mark Dubnyk's 100th victory with the franchise, which acquired him during the 2014-15 campaign.
Dubnyk is 99-55-13 with a 2.18 goals-against average and .924 save percentage with Minnesota. In his 20 career games against the Blackhawks, the 31-year-old is 10-7-0 with a 3.06 GAA and a .909 save percentage.
Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford will try to stay hot against the Wild. The 32-year-old carries a remarkable .971 save percentage (three goals allowed on 104 shots) into the game.
In 21 career games against Minnesota, Crawford is 10-8-2 with a 2.48 GAA and a .920 save percentage.
Boudreau said a fast start would be necessary to keep pace with the Blackhawks in a hostile environment.
"We can't fall behind 2-0 like we did every game last year, that's for sure," Boudreau said. "They're feeling it right now.
"A lot of different players in the lineup, but they still happen to have '88' (Kane) and '19' (Jonathan Toews) and '2' (Duncan Keith) and '50' (Crawford) and '20' (Saad) is not bad, '7' (Brent Seabrook) is pretty good. Yeah, they're a good team."

Update:: I recently ran across pictures of my ex and my dog. I have to say that I am surprised. I forgot about all of those pictures. I didn't think I'd ever see them again. It would be shocking to have those forgotten memories just come flooding back all at once. That is exactly what happened to me.
There are times when I sit back and think about Japan and how awesome it was when I was there. The memories that were created were some happy and some sad, but that happens no matter where you go. At times I do sit back and wonder what would have happened if I had made a different move at a certain spot in time. What would have happened between my ex and I? What would have happened if I had crushed that test? So many what if's just start running.
I don't dwell to much on them but I do every now and again kick up the dust and look at those memories that make me smile. Memories of work, where I drove, what I saw, who I spent time with seeing the country, my very first date…
Snuggling in bed with my ex, wow. *sigh* Just sitting here and remembering all the things we use to do makes me smile. I would say that was an awesome relationship. And it all started because I was going to buy his car…turns out he wasn't selling it but he was investing into something else.
The drives through the mountains when I got to go with him were awesome. Going to the aquarium was amazing as well. Goofing off in the snow with the car I bought him. Making enough noise that his buddy in the dorm room next door couldn't turn his stereo up loud enough. Buying him roses for no reason at all. Showering him with gifts randomly because I wanted to.
There aren't any hard feelings or bad thoughts I have about him. Yes I wish things were different but they aren't. I'm not depressed looking at the pictures or remembering the stuff we did. It actually makes me smile. Yes there were bad times like any other relationship, but we learn and move on from them.

Sydney is about to begin 1st grade. But while she was still in Kindergarten, her class did a performance of It's A Small World. The teachers asked each of the kids to dress in traditional clothes from a country of their choice. Sydney decided on Ireland so we went to work on an outfit a couple days before her performance. She loves getting dressed up for any reason so she was very pleased with the result. I think she looks adorable but the sewer in me see the things that could be better.
I just made a longer version of this skirt, with a little lace at the bottom instead of ribbon. Then I made her a quick little apron. I just cut out the shape I wanted, hemmed around all the edges and added a little tie. That gray striped fabric is from my mom's stash from when I was a little girl. Finally I made her a little vest. It was my first attempt at making a vest and I just went for it without a pattern so it is a little bit too small. We wanted to add some cording to lace the vest up so we were able to make it work though. To top off the outfit we braided her hair in a crown and added a few flowers.

Tim Kofol needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 70 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
Tournament Maker
I am a casual developer who created this application because I wanted to host a tournament and needed an easy way for participants to signup and create the bracket.
My target audience would be college kids looking to make drinking game brackets and athletes wanting to put together a tournament for their sport. Overall, I expect my audience to be youthful and fun.
I need two icons for this project. The first a small 16x16 px icon and a larger 75x75 px icon. Both should indicate what the application does. They can be the same style/image or different.
So something that has to do with a tournament or brackets or people competing against each other. Nothing that has to do with alcohol, Facebook may frown upon that. Besides that, just be creative and have fun with it.

Add to basket (GBP) Add to basket (USD) Add to basket (EUR)
Marking the tenth anniversary of the New Writing Viewpoints series, this new book takes the concept of an edited collection to its extreme, pushing the possibilities of scholarship and collaboration. All authors in this book, including those who contributed to Power and Identity in the Creative Writing Classroom, which launched the series ten years ago, are proof that creative writing matters, that it can be rewarding over the long haul and that there exist many ways to do what we do as writers and as teachers. This book captures a wide swathe of ideas on pedagogy, on programs, on the profession and on careers.
Dialogue, experiment, variety… These are at the heart of creative writing pedagogy, and reading this book is like eavesdropping on the process at work. Coming straight from the workface of American universities, it raises questions both practical and theoretical, creative and critical, that animate this growing and evolving discipline worldwide.- Philip Gross, University of South Wales, UK
This is a candid exploration of what happens in the writing classroom, what should and could happen, and how these writer-teachers are themselves developing creatively as practicing artists thanks to their pedagogical curiosities. I found myself continually taking notes and have no doubt these ruminations will greatly influence further scholarship in creative writing studies.- Lori A. May, University of King's College-Halifax, Canada
Anna Leahy is Associate Professor of English, Associate Director of the MFA in Creative Writing, and Director of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity at Chapman University, USA. She has published widely on creative writing pedagogy, as well as creative non-fiction and poetry. She is the editor of TAB: The Journal of Poetry & Poetics.

Months of planning. More months of development. Re-planning. Long hours. Trips around the world. Meeting with you, our BlackBerry WebWorks development community. It all culminates with this: the gold release of the BlackBerry 10 WebWorks SDK. The team here could not be more stoked to deliver this final developer milestone on the road to the launch of BlackBerry 10. I apologize for the use of the word "stoked" in the preceding sentence, but I could not help myself. We are REALLY excited.
We recently delivered the final Beta of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK in conjunction with our recent BlackBerry Jam Asia conference. With that release we began guaranteeing compatibility of your applications, which was a major milestone. Hopefully you have already started submitting your apps to BlackBerry World for approval and preparing your application to the Built for BlackBerry program.
Of course, the team has continued to work days – and many nights – to ensure this gold release is rock solid. Of course, we also snuck a few new things in.
We now have a full house of cards that you can directly invoke from webworks. From the blackberry.invoke.card namespace, you can leverage the following new cards on top of the camera and file picker cards we already delivered: calendar picker, calendar composer, email composer, media player, contact picker, and ICS viewer card.
We have also now provided to you the means to leverage the built in invocation selection UI. If you choose to do your own invocation target queries and provide the user with the ability to select the target, you can use the API to present native look and feel selection UI.
Wallpaper: an interior decoration technique that has happily fallen out of favour (opinions my own and do not reflect those of my employer). But smartphone users love setting the wallpaper of their device. Allow the user to set the wallpaper from your BlackBerry WebWorks app:
You can now also specify custom contexts in your applications that can be used as a target type for invocation request, and to put custom actions into the context menu.

>
Local image link: with customContext

If the user triggers an invocation – say, as a long-press on any element within the div in the code example above – the system will pass the "myContext" custom context in the invocation request rather than an image context.
In addition, you will often want the ability to know when your context has been the target of a user-triggered invocation, and do something before the system completes the invocation. In the example above, you might want to add to the invocation request additional relevant information for the "super secret device". All you need to do is assign a function to the blackberry.invoke.interrupter property. This function will be given the invocation request object, and you can return a modified version of the object that will actually be sent on in the invocation request. You may also just want to allow the user to confirm they wish to take this action.
blackberry.invoke.interrupter = function (request) { if(confirm("System would like to invoke: " + request + " would you like to continue?")) { return request; } else { alert("User canceled invocation"); } };
One of the key user experience items for BlackBerry 10 is the concept of Active Frames. When your application is no longer in the foreground but still running, it gets a placeholder window that by default displays a snapshot of the application when the user put it into the background. With this API, you can customize what is displayed. You can set a different image, as well as specify custom text that will be overlaid onto the image. If you wish, you can also periodically update the cover, or reset it to the snapshot originally taken by the system. Check out the documentation for more info.
function onEnterCover() { blackberry.ui.cover.setContent( blackberry.ui.TYPE_IMAGE, {path: "/path/to/an/image/windowCover.png"} ); blackberry.ui.cover.labels.push({label: "Label 1", size: 15, wrap: false}); blackberry.ui.cover.setTransition(blackberry.ui.cover.TRANSITION_FADE); blackberry.ui.cover.updateCover(); } blackberry.event.addEventListener("entercover", onEnterCover);
Even though this is the gold release, we know there are a few things still missing that we are working hard to deliver. The nice thing about BlackBerry WebWorks is that we can expose existing native platform functionality outside of device OS and native SDK updates. Keep an eye on the flight boards as we are actively planning maintenance releases to deliver a few more things.
But the gold release is your cue to finish your BlackBerry WebWorks application so that you can leverage the first-mover advantage. Get out in front of the wave and be one of the first applications in BlackBerry World. And be sure to get your applications approved for sale prior to January 21st, and take advantage of the Built for BlackBerry program. Download the gold release of BlackBerry WebWorks and put that final luster on your applications!

Easter is a perfect time to look to Mother Nature for beautiful elements to use on your Easter table.
The array of greens and flowers is so abundant this time of year. I personally have always used natural elements on my table for Easter.
Here is a list of some of the elements I have used in the past.
- Scotch moss(I like this kind because it is a deep dark green)
- Wheat grass ( I get it at my grocery store)
- Ornamental Kale (Perfect when placed by a bunny)
- Miniature carrots ( produce section)
- rocks or pebbles ( I use these to border or just place in moss to look like a garden scene)
- Different types of moss, baby tears or blue star ground cover.
- Margarite daisies are a favorite of mine to add in the grass.
- Tulips, daffodils and daisies.

Christmas is – quite literally – just around the corner. And it's time to update your wish list now with the things you would like to adorn your man cave with this holiday season. Here's a primer to help get you started:
Every man cave should begin with a comfortable chair. This chair needs to be your friend, as you will likely spend a great deal of time watching games here and even dozing here. A Big Daddy leather recliner that sports your favorite NFL team, such as this Miami Dolphins recliner, is a great start to your man cave. Accompanied by a matching pub table, it's all you need (besides a big-screen TV) to get your room off to a good start.
Now that you've covered your comfort needs, it's time to get serious about fun. Your man cave is your escape – the perfect place to head during the crazy holiday shopping season. From poker to pool to shuffleboard, we have the high end game tables you need to furnish your room in style. The Playcraft Southport pool table is an ideal addition, as is the PlayCraft Venture Shuffleboard table with a customizable length.
And when you're on your own and there's no game on, your man cave would benefit greatly from a pinball machine like the AC/DC Pro to the space.
Finally, to add a finishing touch to your man cave and really create some style, add a lamp that shows off your favorite basketball team such as this New York Knicks shade bar lamp. And, because no man cave is complete without music, add a jukebox like the Nostalgic Bubbler to the room and create some atmosphere.
What would you add to create the perfect man cave?

Paul Hsiao, Economist, Global Economic Strategy In China, the slight cooling of credit creation and weaker output conform to expectations of a slower fourth quarter and deceleration in 2018. Decreasing support from Chinese growth is being partially offset by demand from the eurozone, the US, and others. In fact, yearly export growth for many Asian economies remains in the double digits and will probably stay there for a while. Additional monetary accommodation and more optimistic business sentiment due to dissipating deflationary pressures could lead to even stronger nominal growth.
Paul Hsiao, Economist, Global Economic Strategy Our score remains marginally bullish at 2.50. A quarter-end upturn in China, continued cyclical improvement in Japan, and robust September exports from many countries underpin a solid macroeconomic environment that should propel Asia's growth to a 7.5% annual rate in the second half from 5.9% in the first. Still, President Xi's optimistic opening remarks at China's 19th Congress of the Communist Party has not changed our base case of a slowing China over the next few years. Headline 2018 GDP growth likely will be dragged down by a deceleration in the property sector and capacity reduction due to environmental policies. There also is downside risk to regional growth if India does not rebound quickly from its prior implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Paul Hsiao, Economist, Global Economic Strategy Our inaugural regional macroeconomic conviction score (CS), 2.50, is somewhat bullish based on expectations the region will maintain its aggregate GDP growth rate of 5.5% this year and slow only marginally to 5.4% next year. Demand from the US and Eurozone has helped several countries increase exports. Additionally, while many developed market (DM) central banks may join the Fed in normalizing, we expect Asian banks to keep rates on hold. Still, several risks persist, including a more rapid withdrawal of stimulus following China's 19th National Congress and rising geopolitical tensions from North Korea.

Xcompmgr is a simple composite manager capable of rendering drop shadows and, with the use of the transset utility, primitive window transparency. Designed solely as a proof-of-concept, Xcompmgr is a lightweight alternative to Compiz and similar composite managers.
Because it does not replace any existing window manager, it is an ideal solution for users of lightweight window managers, seeking a more elegant desktop.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration
- 3 Tips and tricks
- 4 Troubleshooting
Before installing Xcompmgr, make sure you have installed and correctly configured Xorg. If you have a custom setup, also turn on the Composite extension for the X Server.
Xcompmgr can be installed with the package xcompmgr, available in the official repositories. For transparency also install transset-df from the official repositories.
Forks and updated versions
There are some forks available, with various bugfixes:
- xcompmgr-dana — One of the first forks of Xcompmgr.
- Compton — A fork of Xcompmgr that contains most of the previous fixes as well as many others.
To load
xcompmgr, simply run:
$ xcompmgr -c
To have it load at session start, add the following to xprofile:
xcompmgr -c &
Instead of
-c you can experiment with the other switches to modify the drop-shadows or even enable fading. Below is a common example:
xcompmgr -c -C -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 &
For a full list of options, run:
$ xcompmgr --help
Window transparency
Although its practical use is limited, due to its slow performance, the
transset-df utility can be used to set the transparency of individual windows.
To set the transparency of a program window, make sure the desired program is already running, then execute:
$ transset-df opacity
where opacity is a number between 0 and 1, 0 being transparent and 1 being opaque.
Once execution, the mouse cursor will transform to a cross-hair. Click a window and its transparency will change to the value specified. For example,
transset-df 0.25 will set the target window to 25% opacity (75% transparency).
Tips and tricks
Start/Stop Xcompmgr on demand
This script allows easy (re)starting and stopping of the compositing manager.
#!/bin/bash # # Start a composition manager. # (xcompmgr in this case) comphelp() { echo "Composition Manager:" echo " (re)start: COMP" echo " stop: COMP -s" echo " query: COMP -q" echo " returns 0 if composition manager is running, else 1" exit } checkcomp() { pgrep xcompmgr &>/dev/null } stopcomp() { checkcomp && killall xcompmgr } startcomp() { stopcomp # Example settings only. Replace with your own. xcompmgr -CcfF -I-.015 -O-.03 -D6 -t-1 -l-3 -r4.2 -o.5 & exit } case "$1" in "") startcomp ;; "-q") checkcomp ;; "-s") stopcomp; exit ;; *) comphelp ;; esac
For ease of use, you can bind this script to a hot-key using, for example, Xbindkeys. This allows for fast restart or temporary composition removal if needed without interrupting other work.
Toggle Xcompmgr
Assign the following script to any hot-key:
#!/bin/bash if pgrep xcompmgr &>/dev/null; then echo "Turning xcompmgr ON" xcompmgr -c -C -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 & else echo "Turning xcompmgr OFF" pkill xcompmgr & fi exit 0
Mozilla Firefox crashes when entering a Flash site
You can fix it by creating an executable file named
/etc/profile.d/flash.sh containing this line:
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
Background turns light gray briefly after logging in (e.g. in Openbox)
This is fixed by installing hsetrootAUR and setting the background color by executing
hsetroot -solid "#000000" (just type the code of the color you want instead of #000000) before
BadPicture request in awesome
If you get the following error in awesome:
error 163: BadPicture request 149 minor 8 serial 34943 error 163: BadPicture request 149 minor 8 serial 34988 error 163: BadPicture request 149 minor 8 serial 35033
just install feh and restart awesome.
Screen not updating in awesome after resolution change
When using an external monitor, you may encounter problems when automatically changing display resolutions: a part of the screen becomes "stuck" and no longer updates itself. This problem occurs because of the initial resolution change (happening before Xcompmgr starts) as well as awesome setting the background via feh.
To fix it, you need to install hsetrootAUR, from the official repositories, and put the following line in
.xinitrc, just before
hsetroot -solid "#000066"
(you can replace #000066 with your color of choice).

Webster Elementary a 'Blue Ribbon' school
PLYMOUTH — On Friday, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan released the list of 2012 National Blue Ribbon Schools. Webster Elementary in Plymouth was among those receiving the honor.
Only eight schools in Indiana were nominated for the award.
In the past, Webster has been named a Four-Star School twice and was awarded a Title I Student Achievement Award.
Duncan recognized only 269 schools with the award based on the overall academic excellence or for making progress in improving student academic achievement levels.
On November 12-13, 219 public schools and 50 private schools will be recognized in a ceremony in Washington, D.C. According to a press release issued on September 7, in the 30-year history, the National Blue Ribbon Schools programs has bestowed the award to nearly 7,000 schools.
Duncan said, "Our nation has no greater reasonability than helping all children realize their full potential. He added, "Schools honored with the National Blue Ribbon award are committed to accelerating student achievement and preparing students for success in college and careers. Their work reflects the conviction that every child has promise and that education is the surest pathway to a strong, secure future." "The program recognizes achievement in two categories. The first is "Exemplary High Performance" in which schools are recognized among their state's highest performing schools, as measured by the state's assessment.
The second is "Exemplary Improving" in which schools that have at least 40 percent of their student population from disadvantaged backgrounds demonstrate progress in improving.
Webster Principal, Carrie McGuire said, "This is a great honor for our school, including the staff, the students, and their families." "The people and parents at Webster really do work together to do "whatever it takes" to make sure that children are successful." she said.
McGuire pointed out that the ISTEP scores of the school do not show an achievement gap between the high risk or low income students that can be seen in some other schools. "McGuire said, "We work hard to make sure that children do well even if they have special needs."
Plymouth Schools Superintendent Daniel Tyree echoed McGuire's comments saying, "We see a close relationship between the staff, students and parents. This relationship is based on the school corporation's mission to do whatever it takes to ensure that students maximize their potential."
Other Indiana Schools being named to the Blue Ribbon Award list included LaSalle Intermediate Academy in South Bend.

The Buccaneers were among the most active teams in free agency last year, and they're setting the stage to be able to again next year if they choose.
According to Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com, the Bucs restructured the deals of wide receiver Vincent Jackson and guard Carl Nicks to create nearly $18 million more cap room in 2013.
The Bucs simply turned guaranteed salaries next year into roster bonuses this year, allowing them to prorate the money over the length of the deals.
That gave $12.16 million to Jackson and an extra $11.875 million for Nicks in exchange for the space next year. The Bucs now have $98 million committed to next year's cap, which is projected to be around $121 million.
Whether they spend to that limit for a team which hasn't created much buzz remains to be seen. The Bucs haven't been selling out on a regular basis, or even getting to the 85 percent threshold to get on local television.

Roan Yong (@roanyong) is the author of Social Collaboration e-book. He describes himself as an expert on intranet, and a thought leader on exploiting self-interest to enable bottom-up collaboration, innovation, and community-building. He gives free talks on collaboration to non-profit organisations and public agencies.
Roan started talking about social collaboration and the importance of the intranet because he enjoyed tinkering with the concept of intranet and sharing ideas with other people. His objective is to pull like-minded people to have fun talking about these issues, and also to build their interest to be intranet citizen developer.
More a tinkerer than a maker, that was what he said to us. He would design, revamp, or build a sub-site in the intranet using widely-available intranet "webparts" to improve the user experience.
When asked on the maker scene in Singapore, Roan expressed outright that it is not as big as that in the United States. He felt that Singaporeans should be encouraged to dream bigger.
Quoting Steve Jobs, "Stay hungry, stay foolish". That's what he uses to stay motivated. Would this be applicable for you too? Give it a thought.
If you are interested to speak with Roan Yong on social collaboration, look out for this presentation on 4 August 2012.

B.C. premier on hot seat over Victoria remarks
B.C. Premier Christy Clark is in damage-control mode after quotes surfaced in Victoria newspapers in which she refers to the provincial capital as having a "sick culture" with "no real people."
Clark was peppered with questions on the remarks during a visit to the B.C. Institute of Technology in Burnaby Wednesday to unveil a major provincial government investment in skills training.
"I think most people recognize what I meant by that," Clark said in reference to her comments on Victoria, which were made to a National Post columnist in the spring and were republished Tuesday.
"It's the grounds of the legislative precincts. It could become an enclosed bubble and some politicians like to spend all their time there listening to pundits and talking to each other. That's not why I ran to become premier."
Clark also was asked about the government announcement that there would be no fall sitting of the legislature, which has sat for a total of 71 days all year.
Clark said she'd sooner spend the next few months listening to the people of B.C.
Critics call her scant presence in the house undemocratic, and two independent MLAs say they will hold a Twitter town hall this week to discuss democratic reform in B.C.
New Democrat leader Adrian Dix says it's embarrassing that B.C. will not have a fall session.
Clark wouldn't say how many days the legislature will sit before British Columbians go to the polls in an election scheduled for next May.

Since we spend about one third of our lives sleeping and a lot of our down time in the bedroom, it is important to make the space as warm and inviting as possible. Furnishing the bedroom with furniture that will ensure our comfort and ability to relax is of vital importance to our sense of well-being.
Another great way to save money on bedroom furniture is to buy a bedroom set. Bedroom furniture sets are a quick and economical way to furnish a room with minimum time and effort. Purchasing a bedroom set is generally less expensive than buying each piece of bedroom furniture separately. They come in a wide selection of styles and combination designed to give you maximum choice and flexibility. A bedroom is much more than a place to sleep; your bedroom is also a sanctuary where you relax, hang out with the kids or get ready for the next day. Buying a bedroom set allows you to create a restful place without having to give too much thought to what kinds of furniture pieces you want and whether or not they match one another in size, scale and color.
A major consideration to take into account when choosing bedroom furniture that will be as comfortable as possible is the size of the bed and the size of the mattress. When two adults are sharing, consider purchasing a queen size mattress or a king size mattress for your bed; this will give you the desired extra sleeping space per person.
It is also important to consider other furniture pieces you may want to include in your bedroom design plan such as an armoire, a bedroom vanity or a full length mirror. A typical bedroom set includes the bed, a nightstand or a pair of nightstands. In addition to a bed and nightstand, larger bedroom sets may include a dresser, a dresser and mirror combo or a TV armoire or a wardrobe armoire.
Start with a plan. Before going shopping for furniture, knowing how you want your bedroom to look, how much room you have to work with, what bedroom furniture pieces you want to include and how much you want to spend will save you time and money in the long run. You dont want to order a queen size sleigh bed for your master bedroom only find that it wont fit. Cheap bedroom furniture, especially when it comes to bedroom furniture sets, isnt necessarily a bad thing; well-made bedroom furniture doesnt have to cost a lot.

A second opinion confirmed center Andrew Bogut is suffering from a bone bruise in his left ankle, the Warriors announced on Tuesday.
Dr. Richard Ferkel, the surgeon who operated on Bogut's left ankle a year ago, confirmed the initial diagnosis of Warriors doctors, the team said. He sustained it a week ago, a team official said, and it has kept him out the last two games.
Bogut is officially listed as questionable for Wednesday's regular-season finale at Portland. He did travel with the team to Portland but his status will be determined by his progress. Warriors coach Mark Jackson said he won't hold out Bogut for precautionary reasons. If Bogut is ready, he said the starting center will play since the Warriors have had limited time with a full roster.

Kings-Avalanche PreviewNHL.com @NHLdotcom
The Colorado Avalanche should be excited about the way they're opening March, having a playoff spot within reach and anticipating the imminent return of Peter Forsberg.
The Avalanche continue their playoff push Saturday when they host the lowly Los Angeles Kings.
The Avs (33-26-6) are tied with Nashville for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, but are also within striking distance of first place in the Northwest Division with 17 games to play.
Colorado is coming off a 3-2 shootout win over Vancouver on Wednesday, as captain Joe Sakic scored the tying goal with 14.7 seconds left and added another in the shootout.
"Any time you can come from behind and find a way to get two points, it's a big lift for your hockey club," said Sakic, who has a goal and an assist in three games after missing 38 with a sports hernia.
The Avs are expecting another player to return soon.
Forsberg, who played for the Colorado franchise for 10 years before the league's lockout in 2004-05, agreed to a $5 million, one-year deal Monday after sitting out the first five months of the season with a right foot injury. Forsberg was named the 2003 NHL MVP, and led the Avs to Stanley Cup championships in 1996 and 2001.
Forsberg said he won't play in this game, but he could return Tuesday night against Vancouver.
"Every game we've injected a new player," said coach Joel Quenneville, who has also gotten top forwards Paul Stastny (appendectomy) and Ryan Smyth (broken ankle) back in the past two weeks. "We've just got to keep building. Peter should be back soon and that should give us more life."
Stastny has two goals and an assist in four games after missing the previous 15. He has two goals and an assist in three games against the Kings (26-35-4) this season.
The Avs open a four-game homestand with this contest, but they have been terrible at the Pepsi Center lately.
After starting the season 15-3-0 at home, Colorado is 3-8-2 in Denver since Dec. 27. The Avs have been outscored 14-5 during a four-game home losing streak, and have not dropped five in a row at home since an eight-game skid from Oct. 21-Nov. 24, 1990, when the franchise was the Quebec Nordiques.
In their only game against the Kings at the Pepsi Center this season on Dec. 29, the Avs lost 3-1. Colorado, which has won this season's two meetings in Los Angeles, has lost four of its last five home games to the Kings.
Avs goaltender Jose Theodore made 29 saves on Wednesday, improving to 3-1-0 with a 2.15 goals-against average in his last four games after losing his previous four starts. Theodore, who is just 1-5-0 with a 3.42 GAA at home since Jan. 22, is 1-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA against the Kings this season.
Los Angeles fell to Edmonton 5-4 on Thursday, losing for the fourth time in five games. The Kings have allowed a league-high 217 goals, including 11 in their last two contests.
"If you look at the game it wasn't a matter of them making great plays it was a matter of us making poor plays," said Dustin Brown, who scored twice Thursday. "When you make that many mistakes it's tough to win games."
Brown has one goal and two assists versus the Avalanche this season.
Dan Cloutier stopped 22 shots on Thursday in his third straight start for No. 1 goalie Jason LaBarbera, who is nursing a groin injury. LaBarbera's status for this game is unknown.

I wondered if they burned any couches in Ann Arbor. Now I know. Burning couches is tame compared to what we used to do in Golden with dynamite.
Being a mining school with mandatory Army Engineer ROTC, explosives were part of the curriculum. We didn't ring the school bell to awaken the campus; we would set off dynamite over the face of Castle Rock, which would reflect the sound far and wide.

Friday, September 06, 2013 - Wank Party 2013 #07, Part 2 RAW
In Wank Party 2013 #7 we have a great cast of guys, Ivo Kerk, Vasek Konik, Borek Sokol, Tomas Zadany and Libor Bores. We pick up right from where we left the guys at the end of part 1. We have Tomas sitting down on Vasek's big, hard cock, with Libor on his knees taking it from Ivo, and sucking on Borek's dick too. Borek and Ivo then change places so Libor gets to sample each of their dicks in his ass and mouth respectively. He certainly takes it very well. Then the guys swap around. Vasek gets on his knees so that Borek can fuck him nice and deep . Meanwhile Libor sits down on Ivo's throbbing cock and sucks on Tomas at the same time. The Libor want Tomas in his ass so he moves onto his knees and Tomas obliges, as Libor sucks on Ivo again. Then Tomas and Ivo change places for a while before Ivo moves over to fuck Vasek's hot hole. Borek moves back to pound on Libor's ass some more. As Ivo fucks him hard and deep Vasek wanks himself to a massive climax, his cum squirting up his body. That sets everything rolling very fast as all the other guys fuck and wank until they dump their loads too at the end of a great Wank Party.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Zdenek Bodbaba came in for a Czech Up with Dr Robert Drtina. Robert gets right to work, asking Zdenek to take off his shirt, so that he can examine his chest. Then he turns him around and bends him over and checks his back. Zdenek then takes off his shoes and Robert checks the feet. When Zdenek removes his shorts we see that he has no underwear and Robert does a quick examination of that lovely ass. Zdenek climbs onto the examination chair, resting his legs on the supports, and covering his cock and balls with his hands. Robert tells him to remove them and starts to feel the balls and cock. Robert asks if Zdenek likes it and when he answers in the affirmative Robert informs him that he can make that cock feel even better. He takes hold of it and starts to wank. Then he bends over and begins to suck on the cock, which gets rock hard. Robert's mouth is wrapped tight around the cock as he sucks on the head. As his cock is being sucked Zdenek reaches under and feels his hot hole. Robert then moves and strips off, exposing a hard cock, which is at just the right level for Zdenek to suck on as he wanks himself. Robert is so horny after being sucked that he wants to feel some cock in his ass. So they move, and Robert is on the chair, legs spread, with Zdenek's throbbing cock deep in his ass. He pounds that hole, deep and hard. Robert loves the feeling and his own dick stays rock hard. They move, so that Robert is bent over with Zdenek still fucking him, stretching his ass so well. Soon Zdenek needs to cum and sits on the chair wanking himself to a lovely climax. Robert then wanks himself and shoots his own cum onto Zdenek. After all that hot sex they share a kiss to finish everything off very nicely.

We're having a beautiful Indian Summer day in Prague. Not a cloud in the sky, lovely temperatures.
To update you on the Czech political situation: There is NO NEWS. This critical election is hardly mentioned in the press. Can you imagine a presidential election in the USA with less than two months to go, and hardly a mention in the press? Kind of spooky. But I will keep you posted of any breaking newsi.
Meanwhile to work:
Our lead feature today is part 2 of Wank Party 2013 #7. That is followed by Petr Szabo's erotic video, Jan Hildebrand's session stills and a backstage video of Wank Party 2013 #2.

I've got a new post on liveBooks RESOLVE blog today in a continuing series called "Seeing Money" about the basics of the business side of photography:
RESOLVE — the liveBooks photo blog » Archives » Seeing Money: Tips for capitaziling on your cash flow
Here as promised is some supplemental information to the RESOLVE column:
One of the hardest nuts to crack for any freelancer is how to manage cash flow. I'm the first to admit that most of this is theory and putting it into practice takes nerves of steel. I've gone through phases where things are better planned, and phases where I'm so caught up in a special project or on the road shooting to the extent it's just not possible to stay on top of things. If you can afford a business manager or bookkeeper or have a spouse or someone that can oversee and do some or all of this for you, fantastic. Currently we work with a business manager and review the payables with him and work together but I can rely on him to handle it if I'm out of the country. But as I've said, I did all this myself for years and even if you have help you owe it to yourself and your future to learn how it all works.
In my studio, we always insist on advances on jobs, which helps with production expenses, but even then we are often only covering 75%. And if we are producing a portfolio, book project or new web site or whatever marketing we do, we are spending without direct compensation.
Having a P&L and a budget that allows you to plan and track these expenses is critical. Getting monthly aged Accounts Payables and Receivable reports are also essential. You can look out over the next month, quarter and year and estimate your fixed expenses, taxes and probably income based on past income and see where the spikes and valleys of cash flow will occur. Try to get all your regular vendors on account so you can pay for supplies net 30. Negotiate in advance with printers and others for better terms if possible to stretch out payments. Rearrange your credit card payments so they are not all at once but spread out in the month. I limit my credit cards to one Visa and an AMEX also, keeping it simple.
So you've done all that and every two weeks you go to pay the bills and perhaps you see there are more bills than cash. Ouch. You can hit your line of credit if you have one, take money from savings (never do this) or call your vendors and negotiate longer payment terms. Typically, what happens is most photographers end up spending every dime they have on overdue bills or just not paying some. That leads to bad credit, ruined relationships with vendors and just a lot more stress.
To get a better handle on assessing my bills and cash flow every two weeks I get a special spreadsheet report that combines my A/P with the balances from my various checking and reserve accounts, plus any income we truly expect will arrive within the next few days. This is broken out as "MUST PAYS" and which include ANY credit reporting item or crucial must pay business item such as credit cards, loans, health insurance and the like. By just sorting your bills like this you can really clarify things in a hurry. You just must pay anything that might send you to collection or for which a late payment will be reported to a credit agency. The one thing you must preserve as a small business is your credit.
I have a total column under MUST PAYS so I can eyeball quickly what that amount is and start thinking about what's coming next. The next section is a snapshot of my Payables and it's aged by under 30 days, over 30 up to 60 days, 90 days and longer. Sometimes this is important to have not because we are late on something but we are able to see long term balances that are slowly being paid off.
I then look at the total due for all the bills that are due now or overdue, combined with the MUST PAYS. I then look at the balance of our main business checking to see if we have enough or if we will have to transfer cash in to cover this amount. If we are tight, my next step is to scan the bills due now to see what is under $500 and make sure we pay those first. The smallest bills should always get paid quickest in my opinion, as those vendors need it most usually. Sometimes if we know a check is coming in a day or two we might cut and hold checks. And then if there is anything that we can extend by perhaps paying half now and half in two weeks. We then call that vendor to see if that's ok with them.
This is another step in the process I've added that happens to work for me and my brain and the way I process information. It might not work for you and you might be way more organized and have a mind for numbers. If so, I'm very jealous but at least I have my system to fall back on. And if you're like me, now you can too.

My Boyfriend was not sad to have me Home
The last few weeks have been so jam packed and insane since coming home that I haven't had a second to myself. When I got home for the first couple weeks it felt really seamless. I felt like I came back into life in my family like I had never left. I had kept up with them weekly so I was constantly filled in on what was new on the homestead. I was really surprised it was so easy because of the big hype about reverse culture shock. I didn't really experience that until I came back to school. Now it is hitting me really hard.
I really miss my family. They sent me both a Christmas card and a New Years card and both I cried when I read them. They sent me big kisses and it just made me really miss dinners with them and nights at home. I miss my little host brother a lot and think about him all the time because it seems like everything I see reminds me of him. It feels so strange to me that my family there isn't here anymore and that I am not seeing them every day. I still wake up in the mornings sometimes and not know where I am.
I really like how cheap everything is in the States. I have not been sad about paying in US dollars again just because everything in Europe was so expensive. I also am glad to be able to make my own food choices because while I was in France my host mom would make all my dinners. While this was awesome and easy for me I wouldn't get to have control over portion size and felt bad not finishing my food because she was always giving my host brother the starving children in Africa story. So I usually would eat more than I really wanted to. I' glad to be back home where I don't feel pressured to eat.
My abroad Friends out to Dinner for the last time
I also miss my abroad friends. We have a facebook group message going where we still talk but it is a lot harder being home and away from them than I thought it would be. A lot at school has changed since I have been gone and I feel like the friends I had while abroad really understood me better than my friends here at school. I really miss them and how easy it was to talk to them.

Prince's estate is claiming a sound engineer who worked with the musician on five tracks in 2006 is threatening to release the unpublished material and has no right to do so.
The estate and Paisley Park Enterprises have sued George Ian Boxill, alleging he's trying to exploit the songs for personal gain. They say Boxill has no right to the recordings, and they're demanding he return them.
Attorneys for Boxill didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
The lawsuit says a 2004 confidentiality agreement shows Boxill agreed that all recordings would remain Prince's sole and exclusive property. Prince sings and plays guitar and keyboard on the tracks. Court documents say the recordings, including one called "Deliverance," are worth more than $75,000.
5 Tips to Up Your Dating Profile for Valentine's Day
Record label Rogue Music Alliance plans to release an EP of new Prince music on Friday. The disc version is set for nationwide release on June 2. The tracks on the EP, "Deliverance," were recorded in the studio between 2006 and 2008 when Prince was an independent artist.
Prince died on April 21, of a drug overdose. In June, the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office revealed that the singer died of an accidental overdose.
