Isn't it beautiful? And it's perfect for all my "bits and bobs". It's quite astonishing how much stuff I was able to put into all the little drawers. Now I just have to remember where I put what so I don't have to open all 48 before I find what I need.
I love "The Gentle Art of Quilt Making" by Jane Brocket; the photos are gorgeous and the quilts simple yet stunning. If you like Kaffe's book, you will love this one too.
Jane Brocket has written books on other subjects but as far as I know it's her first quilting book. Check out her blog here. And here is where I've ordered it from! I can highly recommend them as the service was very speedy and they deliver free of charge WORLDWIDE!
To all mums out there

Boston Red Sox 2012 Offseason Recap and Preview
As much as I feel dislike towards the Red Sox as a person who grew up as a Yankee fan, I know that they are people with feelings too and I know I am causing them enough damage by just showing this picture of game 162. So I won't add any commentary, but I have to show the picture because it *was* the story of their 2011:
Grade: B
Notable Additions:
Andrew Bailey, Aaron Cook, Mark Melancon, Clayton Mortensen, Vincente Padilla, Nick Punto, Cody Ross, Kelly Shoppach, and Ryan Sweeney.
Notable Subtractions:
Jonathan Papelbon, J.D. Drew, Jed Lowrie, Hideki Okajima, Josh Reddick, Marco Scutaro, Kyle Weiland, and Dan Wheeler.
Why?: When you actually look at the talent changing hands, the Red Sox are probably more of a C+/B- type offseason. However, the Red Sox's owner, John Henry, also owns the English Premier Legaue Football club, Liverpool. Over the past year, Liverpool has added players totaling a dollar amount that is comparable to the Red Sox's total payroll (when converted from pounds to dollars). Due to this spending spree with Liverpool, and the spending spree last year with the Red Sox, it is understandable that Henry didn't want any major additions to the payroll. Given this fact, I bumped the Red Sox's grade up to a B, because they managed to add some key pieces without spending a lot. Let me tell you, they were REALLY close to being a B+, but I didn't want to bump them up too much.
As odd as it may seem, I think the Sox may have actually upgraded at the closer position. Since Andrew Bailey has been closing out games for the small-market Oakland Athletics, he really isn't as exposed to mainstream America as most closers, but I can tell you he is one of the best in the business. Sure, he played for the A's, which were offensively anemic, and thus gave him more save opportunities, but I remind you that he *did* win the AL ROY a few years ago and has maintained this production since.
I guess you can argue that Cody Ross is a good signing with the Green Monster out in Left Field, but I really can't think of many RHBs that wouldn't benefit from having a wall 300 feet away from them while they're at the plate. Seriously, can you think of more than ten hitters that wouldn't be helped by that? The only names I'm coming up with are right handed slap hitters like Derek Jeter, but I have a feeling even he would be assisted by the wall.
Other than this, I really have nothing else to report on the subject that could be summed up in less than 500 words. The names on the lists suggest that the Red Sox probably deserve a higher grade, but I do have my reasons behind the grade.
Predicted Record Range: 90-95 wins A bunch of people didn't do as well as they could've. Also, I never thought I would say this, but it might be a good thing that John Lackey is out for the season.

History: Transfer
History is the study of the rise and evolution of societies and civilizations. The term "history" comes from the Greek word for inquiry and is related to the English word, story.
A history degree can lead to jobs in the fields of education, museum work, historical preservation efforts, archival research, and scholarly publications. Many history majors also pursue post graduate careers in law, government, business, and in other related social sciences fields. The study of history greatly broadens one's perspective on and of understanding of human life within society and over time. Additionally, the analytical skills and communication abilities gained in the pursuit of a history degree are greatly valued in the above-mentioned career paths.
Ready to get started?
It's easy and only requires TWO steps.
Step 1
Fill out our response form. This will alert us that you are interested in the Theatre Arts program.
Step 2
If you are new to UCC (you've never taken a class), apply to UCC. Otherwise, you are done for now. You will be contacted about the next steps.
Transfer Guide
The history major is offered at all of the seven public colleges and universities in Oregon, and at most private colleges in the state. All major schools across the country also offer BA and advance degree programs in History.
Following the standard transfer program requirements will gain entry for qualified students into the Oregon university system as well as universities in other states and countries. Appropriate early courses for history majors are:
- Science - Geology or Biology
- Math - 105 or 111
- Social Sciences - (besides History courses) Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, Economics, and Psychology
- Foreign language: Two years of a foreign language is required for a B.A. degree in most universities, and is a good idea in general for broadening our perspective and strengthening one's job entry chances in the field.
Residents of WA, ID, NV, and CA
If you are from Washington, Idaho, Nevada, or California, you pay Oregon resident tuition rates. That's a big discount! You might also be interested in what life is like around UCC. Find out!
Money for College
Don't miss your chance to apply for a UCC Foundation Scholarship! The application period is open now through March 5. The UCC Scholars application is combined in the same application process. Need help? Check out scholarship nights. (Feb 13 & 26)
Why UCC?
At UCC, you can earn a TWO-YEAR TRANSFER DEGREE for less than you'll pay for one year at a state university. Plus, UCC offers:
• Seamless, direct transfer degrees
• Expert faculty dedicated to teaching
• Personal attention and small class sizes
• Online classes
Prospective students should visit Advising and Career Services to get started and then see a program advisor (below) to develop a more focused educational plan.

2011-09-06 This and that ...
Start: 12:00:15
3rdthawkins: hey daviss
daviss: hi 3rd ! hows it going
3rdthawkins: good, had a good genealogical weekend
daviss: good for you 3rd thats what its all about I assume you found some new peeps
3rdthawkins: no, found out my paternal great grandmother was the mystery family researcher, went back to slave owners, she passed that information on to a grandson (a cousin of my dad), he was looking for someone to give it to to preserve it, when his bro told him about me doing family research, he thought i would be a good person to give it to, he's been waiting for me to call, so I finally got in touch with him on friday, that was the first thing he was telling me about when I called I think if he sends it, he will include photos, but the photos don't have any identity
daviss: thats wonderful 3rd..Congrats
3rdthawkins: thx
daviss: did he say that he would turn it over to you
3rdthawkins: she has tons of info, deeds for herself, it's like the work is already done for me, can't wait to get my hands on it
daviss: hi alt!
3rdthawkins: he definitely was looking for someone to give it to, someone who would take care of it, he doesnt have time to do anything with it, he gave me his email to give my address, so I am sure he will send it

Seventies Soulchild: I actually did...
daviss: oh good!
Seventies Soulchild: So let me tell you.
daviss: k
3rdthawkins: don't know alt, I was, but not sure, I need to find the Hawkns page I keep hearing about, someone else has a page for the Hawkins family with all kinds of photos and stuff and information, I need to get to it see what it's all about and what it has
Seventies Soulchild: Margaret Meade was the sister of Charity Rounds. I traced her daughter Margaret Meade-Christmas via her son Richard Christmas. In 1880, Richard was living with both of them.
alt: okay 3rdthawkins
3rdthawkins: vkn, I have a genealogical dillema with someone in my tree, what forum would be best to post on for that
Seventies Soulchild: Margaret Jr. married Joseph Christmas in about 1876. I also found her living next door to Charles and Charity Rounds in 1870
daviss: thats good seventies..congrats
Seventies Soulchild: I couldn't find Margaret's sons Robert or Minor... perhaps they were sold away. Both would've been in their 20's when Emancipation came.
vkn: Is it a brickwall
3rdthawkins: kind of, it's more like will the real John Doe stand up kind of thing, where two death certificates seem to match the same person
Seventies Soulchild: No it wasn't a brick wall, but until I got my hands on those slave inventories from 1847-1848, I had no idea if other people existed in the family.
3rdthawkins: deaths occurred at different times, parents names are same/similair, no way of determining which one I should look at
daviss: so you found their names on the inventory
vkn: I would think since it relates to a vital record to post to the/a specific State location What say you daviss
3rdthawkins: ok then, the State's forum would be good
Seventies Soulchild: Yes I did. I knew as of 1829 Chism and MaryAnne had 3 children Hannah, Charity and Margaret
daviss: that would be fine vkn. will you highlight both certificates so that others can see 3rd? seventies were Robt and Minor on the inv?
3rdthawkins: I can post them, if that's what you mean daviss
alt: what makes you think they are the same person 3rdthawkins?
daviss: yes 3rd thats what I meant
alt: are the DC's found in the same county & state?
daviss: vkn, wasn't that a nice picture to that reunion story? I even teared up on that one
vkn: alt daviss seventies 3rd I be pushing the calendars today. Naught is listed for September 2011.
3rdthawkins: ok daviss..........alt, the informant on one matches the name of a brother in law, and the informant on the other matches the name of a niece (the brother in law's daughter, and she was informant also on her mom's and sisters dc.) also both have same parents' name, and birthplace is the same, I"m leaning more to one than the other, but it's crazy
daviss: picture was priceless
vkn: Simply beautiful daviss
3rdthawkins: alt, they lived in different places at time of death, but birthplace and parents' names are the same
vkn: Simply beautiful daviss a real tear jerker
3rdthawkins: on one, mother's surname is same as husband's,
daviss: I also watched a show that I had never seen before. another tear jerker
alt: Could parents have given children the same name ala George Foreman?
daviss: the name of the movie was Blind Faith
vkn: Tell us about that daviss
3rdthawkins: that's what I want to know, what makes it harder, I can't find this person in census, there are people that matches this guy, but I can't figure out if either of this are the person in my tree, I doubt they are the same person
Seventies Soulchild: On the second one yes... sorry was on the phone.
vkn: Seventies did you get the info you needed on the Alabama project ?
alt: is the birth date the same for both gentlemen?
daviss: It was with Courtney Vance and took place in the 50's
Seventies Soulchild: Not yet vkn. Still trying to locate this Alabama project.
vkn: Seventies did you get the info you needed on the Alabama project ?
3rdthawkins: years are close (4), on one complete dob is given
Seventies Soulchild: I'm wondering why he mentioned this in his writing. Maybe it was a personal project.
vkn: Send me a mail and I will follow up with the Peeps in the Alabama Room
Seventies Soulchild: Thanks vkn
daviss: hello ProfDru
Seventies Soulchild: its email@example.com ?
ProfDru: hello gang
Seventies Soulchild: hi ProfDru

Seventies Soulchild: alt, speaking of ohio and genealogy. Your family has the Labor Day reunions on lock... lol
alt: do you want our dates & events posted to the AfriGeneas Calendar vkn?
daviss: thats good alt! we are trying to jump start ours.. Mabe even a name change
AYWalton: daviss is your group an AAHGS group or independent chapter?
alt: yep Seventies Soulchild. it sure simplifies a Reunion date when it is always Labor Day weekend.
daviss: I remember that it was bought up to join AAHGS several yrs ago but I left right after
Seventies Soulchild: The closest anything AA related for me is in NYC.
daviss: Not so sure now, but I will ask
Seventies Soulchild: I really want to start something here. Not that y'all aren't good company, but there's a lot of black history around here and its all very much on the hush hush.
AYWalton: ahh you hear a calling, SoulChile! respond to that call.
daviss: The group kind of hit and missed for a couple yrs AYWalton and now the push is on again
AYWalton: start documenting it! hope it gets a good launch, daviss.
vkn: Yes alt please that would be good to have all events particularly from societies
alt: oh Seventies Soulchild, I know a family who was in West Point and they were members of the Buffalo soldier group there.. Ed Long was his name
ProfDru: gotta run
Seventies Soulchild: oh okay, I'll look him up in the booklet.
daviss: we had a good presence at the LDS Research meeting last month and hope that the folks that attended will come back
AYWalton: that's good, daviss. I better run, folks. Time for errands.
Seventies Soulchild: alt, it was a great event. I'll copy the pics from facebook. whoa... where did everyone go?
alt: another fellow name escapes me, but parents were AA's named Eichelburger from SC, who also lived here in Springfield, Ohio, he lived in West Point for a while
daviss: u were multi tasking seventies lol lol
Seventies Soulchild: I was multi-tasking, but not that much.. goooodness!
daviss: lol
Seventies Soulchild: There are still a few Buffalo soldiers left alive. My longtime neighbor Mr. Matthews founded the group.
daviss: what do you want to do at WP seventies, start a Gen group?
Seventies Soulchild: daviss, I really want to turn WP into little Africa! lol lol lol lol
daviss: lol lol lol
Seventies Soulchild: BUT in the meantime, A genealogy/history group would be great. Like I said there is a lot of black history around here that hasn't been documented.
alt: is there a 'local' genealogy society there Seventies Soulchild? If so, perhaps you can get a 'special interest group' SIG started on AA genealogy & research.
daviss: that would be nice seventies
Seventies Soulchild: alt, you don't know these people like I do. I'd be better off starting something myself.
alt: okay Seventies Soulchild
vkn: Good idea seventies if there is already a wheel why invent one lol
daviss: like vkn seventies, she spearheads a group in her complex
Seventies Soulchild: ah okay
alt: this is how the St. Louis group and the Columbus, OH groups got started... as SIG's within the local genealogy societies. and then they 'branched' off into their own entities once they got their feet on the ground.
vkn: Then everyone wins and the hosting group has given birt etc
daviss: Selma!!! hi there
vkn: Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy Selma
Selma: Good Tuesday afternoon folks

(Harrisburg) -- A bill designed to help more puppy buyers get their money back after buying a sick or diseased dog is on its way to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
A bill passed the Senate unanimously Tuesday to strengthen Pennsylvania's 1997 Puppy Lemon Law in several ways.
Under the bill, the buyer could seek reimbursement for the treatment of incurable conditions, such as hip dysplasia.
Currently, buyers may only get their money back for the treatment of curable conditions.
It also would extend the period during which a vet could identify a congenital condition to help the puppy buyer get reimbursed. That would go from 30 to 90 days.
Also, the period for a veterinarian to certify an illness would be extended from 10 to 14 days.

Virgin Mobile USA has launched a new campaign, taking aim at T-Mobile USA's new plans, and offering a $100 credit to T-Mobile users who switch. Virgin is hoping that their "Retrain Your Brain" effort will lure T-Mobile's pre-paid users to their network looking for better deals on their plans. Because Sprint, the network behind Virgin's service, is a CDMA network, while T-Mobile is GSM, you will need to get a new phone from Virgin, or bring a compatible phone with you.
One of Virgin's primary arguments for switching from T-Mobile seems to be the speed throttling users experience after they exceed a certain limit. Neither T-Mobile or Virgin charges overage fees for data, but they do reduce data speeds after a user reaches their limit. While T-Mobile reduces speed down to 2G quality, Virgin claims to reduce speed to 3G quality. T-Mobile also gives users the option to pay for unlimited high-speed data, while Virgin users are limited to 2.5GB per month on all plans.
Virgin claims that customers will have access to LTE speeds, and while this is true for some users, Virgin uses Sprint's network to power its service. Sprint's LTE network rollout is still in its early stages and very few locations receive LTE service compared to Verizon and AT&T. Virgin customers using the iPhone will also be out of luck, as the latest model that Virgin offers is the 4S, and there is, as of yet, no time frame for the release of the iPhone 5 for Virgin. For its part, T-Mobile only started its LTE rollout two weeks ago, so there coverage area is the smallest of all four major US carriers.

What's big and yellow, has three wheels, hauls a quarter ton and is poised to revolutionize small-load urban transport? Answer: the cargo tricycle!
During national Bicycle Month, I spent lots of time talking about cycle advocacy, hanging out at cycling events, and, of course, riding bicycles. I also thought more about the connections between cycling and food – which is what compelled me to attend a cargo bike presentation by Gregg Zukowski and Helen Newman of Revolution Rickshaws.
Founded by Gregg in 2005, Revolution Rickshaws rents, leases, services, stores, and operates tricycles in New York City – but not the kind you pedaled as a kid. "They're like the King Kong of cycles," said Helen, gazing proudly at the two cargo trikes parked in the room. She wasn't kidding; these are full-size, super heavy duty human-powered machines (see trike stats below).
Manufactured by Cycles Maximus, a UK company for which Revolution Rickshaws now serves as US agent and parts distributor, the tricycles feature a modular design that allows users to quickly swap out the body to adapt the trikes to different tasks. Need to move people through Central Park? Pop on the pedicab body! Hauling baked goods through a rainstorm? Swap in the hard-top cargo shell!
The benefit of cargo trikes is that they operate without spewing pollutants, consuming fossil fuel, or killing people in horrible crashes. As Gregg explained, the trikes provide "organic transport;" they run on renewable energy (food, not fuel), they enhance the health of those who use them and they improve the communities in which they operate by creating safer, calmer, quieter streets. Cargo trikes are also efficient users of scarce city space; even a huge tricycle like the King Kong Cargo Cart has a much smaller footprint than a taxicab or delivery truck. This is tremendously beneficial when operating in the congested streets typical of New York and other big cities.
Obviously, cargo trikes can't completely replace motorized transportation; if you need to haul ten tons of concrete or carry a load of I-beams, a truck is the way to go. But there are plenty of situations in which tricycle transportation is ideal – particularly whenever a relatively small load needs to be moved a relatively short distance. In a busy, population-dense city like New York, this type of shipment happens all the time – and it's terribly inefficient / pretty insane to use a delivery truck (which pollutes the air, guzzles gas, makes a racket, clogs up the streets, chews up the pavement, and threatens the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other motorists) just to move a few pounds of stuff two miles across town.
Among the types of cargo particularly well-suited for tricycle transport is food – which is exactly what many of Revolution Rickshaws' customers carry in their trikes. A few notable examples: Birdbath Bakery, Blue Marble (very cool ice cream trike), Vezzo (pizza trike!) and Norwich Meadows Farm (cargo trikes have been used to help distribute the farm's CSA shares in NYC).
Revolution Rickshaws also provided City Harvest with a fleet of three cargo trikes, which the organization uses to salvage food for New York's hungry. City Harvest uses trucks as well – but their cargo trikes fill an important transportation niche, handling the sub-50 lb food pickups for which a delivery truck would be grossly inefficient.
Of course, you can haul more than just food on a tricycle; Gregg and Helen carry people in pedicabs, move stuff for businesses in cargo trikes, and even transport furniture on flatbed trikes for customers who want a CO2-emission-free apartment move. At the event I attended they presented a slideshow of other creative tricycle uses, including a mobile coffee stall, rolling chocolate shop, dry cleaner's delivery trike, recycling collection trike, mobile garden trike, and mail delivery trike (a city in the UK maintains an entire fleet). Check out other examples in the Cycles Maximus photo gallery.
The slideshow ended with a photo of a man in Bangladesh pedaling a tricycle loaded with an impossibly enormous pile of brightly colored fabric. This, Helen noted, is a common sight in cities throughout the developing nations of the world. Smiling, she added, "Maybe we can catch up."
Cargo Trike Stats:
- Weight 187 lbs with pedicab body; 119 lbs with flatbed
- Cargo Capacity: 551 lbs with pedicab body; 619 lbs with flatbed (the tricycle gearing allows the cyclist to transport these huge loads - but the workout can get pretty rigorous as carrying capacity is approached; especially when the terrain is hilly).
- Length: 7.7 ft; 8.5 ft with cargo attachment
- Width: 3.9 ft
- Speeds: 24 (3x8 internal hub)
- Brakes: hydraulic disk brakes in rear; hydraulic rim brake in front
- Tires: heavy duty moped style (Gregg says they'll go a year without a flat)
- Lights: Superbright LED rechargeable
- Awesomeness Factor: High

North Korean MANPADS showing up in the hands of fighters of the Islamic State?
A photo published by the Islamic State after the capture of Tabqa airbase apparently revealed the capture of an Igla-1E man-portable air-defense system (MANPADS) at this base. However, it has now been uncovered the missile isn't an Igla-1E and the photo was not taken at Tabqa but at Kshesh, an airbase captured from Jaish al-Islam that is now being used as a training base by the Islamic State. The row of decommissioned MiG-17s in the background and the presence of two L-39s gave the identity of the base away.
While the missile was initially identified as an Igla-1E, the MANPADS seen operated by the fighter didn't quite match the system's visual appearance. The presence of an aerodynamic spike (as seen on the 9M39 Igla) indicated it isn't just a regular Soviet-produced Igla-1E, which all have pyramidal nosecones. Other external features ruled out other Russian systems and foreign copies thereof. Few other countries produce Igla-1Es, however, North Korea acquired a license to produce them along with 9K111 anti-tank missile systems and subsequently modified and produced different variants of Igla-1Es for its own needs. While the modified 9K111s received the designation of Bulsae-2, it is currently not known what name the Igla-1E received. However, MANPADS in North Korean service often receive the nickname "Hwaseong Chong" (Arquebus).
While Syria is known to have acquired North Korean arms, MANPADS were never noted to have been delivered to the Syrian regime. While both the DPRK and Syria were never too keen on publishing information about arms transfers, the possible North Korean design wasn't yet recognized in Syria during the now three-and-a-half-year-long conflict either, which saw numerous other MANPADS fall in the hands of opposition fighters.
The missile also wasn't sighted in various photo and video reports coming out of the captured bases of Division 17, Regiment 121 and Brigade 93, which showed scores of other equipment being captured, including Iranian made I-RAAD anti-tank missiles.
North Korea is well known to have been delivering arms to what have been branded terrorist organizations by the U.S. A recent example of such transfers was confirmed by the sighting of Bulsae-2s used by Hamas.
While it is unknown wether the North Korean version differs qualitywise from its parent design, a couple of external differences can be noted. Firstly, the missile itself appears to use the aerodynamic spike seen on later generation Russian MANPADS instead of the characteristic pyramidal extension. Furthermore, on some models the battery and handles have been modified, and the protective cap is more reminiscent of more modern MANPADS.
It is unlikely that the Islamic State owns a substantial stock of Igla-1Es, as it is not even ruled out the missile pictured is the only one in their possession. It is therefore improbable the Igla-1E sighted will have any impact on the day-to-day operations of the air forces of the United States, Syria and Iraq over the Syrian and Iraqi battlefields.

A real problem for Islamic State is no defence from the air. This shows how the supposed 'illegal' arms trade is really under the control of Zion which is why no dealer will sell manpads to the Caliphate, but hopefully DPRK might. Whoever dreamed up the word manpads is an idiot, it sounds like the name of some sort of male tampons!ReplyDelete

DPRK wont sell to IS. They support the Assad govt with arms and rumored pilots also. they also were the ones helping build the nuclear reactor for Syria. The Taleban have been trying mostly unsuccessfully to get manpads for decades.ReplyDelete

One fact possibly never before mentioned is that IS is the most educated resistance in world history with most of it's fighters having been to college and university and mostly skilled in computers and media having grown up using novo-tech, they even have programmers and hackers. This group may well be able to replicate a manpad themselves if they obtain one and the time may well arrive that they are being manafactured in garages in the streets of Tikrit or Mosul.ReplyDeleteReplies

most educated resistance in the world??? why havent they already used manpads??? they are being used my other groups in syria. the only thing the SAA has on them is airpower and we have yet to see any air defence from IS. Look at their videos, their trucks are a mess. with all the damaged equipment they've captured recently they still drive small pickups with a handful of men in them.Delete

A small few were captured in Syria. They have no actual supplier because Zion controls the 'illegal' arms trade and they aint gonna fund their enemy. Pick-ups are useful in the ME and North African terrain, they do use heavy weapons and tanks as well and they have mechanics fixing their equipment though obviously not as many as a fully funded army. And as to the thousands of manpads the transnational Jewsmedia claimed were stolen in Tripoli after the banksters had brought down Gadaffi "and sold on the black market" they were no doubt airlifted out by the US.Delete
- Anonymous4 September 2014 at 17:33
I never understand why the Muslim world gives "Zion" so much credit. They dont control the illegal arms trade in Manpads. There are plenty of sources of manpads around the world. most sane people wont sell them to fringe groups. mechanics to fix pickups and old soviet tanks are easy to come by but try finding ones that can actually keep complicated electronic in jets and radars coming isnt. If they manage to get them working the clock will start ticking for an airstrike from any number of countries including Middle Eastern ones.Delete

There's a new kid in energy town - The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) had its first Assembly in Abu Dhabi this week. When you think of Abu Dhabi you probably think of oil. But this week, the talk of Abu Dhabi was all about the sun, the waves and the wind.
Ministers and officials from around the world braved the scorching heat and welcomed this "historical moment" of establishing an international agency that is, they hope, ready to become "one of the most important agencies in the world". We need an "energy revolution", said – no, not Greenpeace, but representatives from Poland, the US, and the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, among others. And as the world watches the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan as it continues to spiral out of control, a message of hope came from Abu Dhabi.
Many governments underlined that the timing for setting up a body dedicated to clean, renewable energy could not be better. "Fukushima", "oil price increase" and "huge energy challenges" were frequently mentioned as key factors to speed up the spread of renewable energies "which we all here know is the only solution that can answer to all challenges".
As an observer I could not be anything but delighted to hear that the Greenpeace call for an energy revolution has been widely adopted by governments. Even better: In many countries it is not only the rhetoric that has changed on renewables but also the policies. In 2010, there were more than 100 countries with a policy target and/or support mechanism for renewable energy, up from 55 in early 2005. Countries were proud to present these policies at IRENA.
Alas, as I was listening to the speeches, I could not help but think about the fact that in the real world, business as usual continues – sometimes just under a new name. Today, for example, some ministers will stick around for something called the "Clean Energy Ministerial" – an exclusive club of the world's largest economies, accounting for more than 80 percent of global energy consumption. While the title sounds fabulous, the meeting will hardly be about launching an energy revolution. Rather, likely drag their feet and discuss modest cooperation. No surprise, really, as the leader of this Ministerial is the United States, which is still selling "clean coal", nuclear, and other dangerous, dirty, disastrous, and out-of-date solutions as… wait for it… "clean energy." Eek.
I witnessed over the last couple of days a lot of bold words to welcome the establishment of IRENA. What difference this body will make, is not yet clear, though. the expectations vary widely, and governments haven't exactly yet put their money where their mouths are. Just as a comparison: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that you will have heard about in the wake of Fukushima has a core annual budget of $ 449 million (US). The core budget of IRENA adopted today is… $(US) 13 million.
We are hoping for a strong intergovernmental advocacy body for renewable energies. What we don't need is another talking shop that only repeats activities taking place elsewhere, or establishes a bloated bureaucracy to share peanuts.
We are at a crossroads. As the Swedish energy minister Maud Olofsson put it: "The terrible nuclear accident in Fukushima also puts focus on our future choice of energy production. Where will the investments in future energy sources go?"
Renewables are ready. They can deliver. As I get ready to leave Abu Dhabi, I can only but hope that governments will not just talk about the energy [r]evolution, but start leading it. Only then, will the ray of hope from Abu Dhabi endure.
"Each time there's a fuel price increase people are burning my pictures on the streets. This is why I'm here." -Jose Almendras, Energy Secretary, Philippines

Identiti needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 105 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
Identiti Web Development (or just Identiti/ID Web)
I am a 22 year old web designer and developer from Australia and I create unique and custom sites for everyone and anyone who wants them! I like bright, with orange specifically, green and blue. the name of the company is a play on your online "Identity" so that's an angle that I could work with (don't have to though!)
I target both individuals young and old as well as bigger companies so I'd love it if the design was classy, but also fairly bright and creative.
Classy, bright and just a bit fun. I don't really want an ultra corporate logo, and would love it if it was a bit unique and special! I like orange!
It's a brand new company so I'm open to any ideas that you might have! You tell me what you think of when you hear the name!
I would love to have a logo that can be used both as just a small version (eg without the whole name of the company), and that small version can be expanded into a large version with the whole name in it.

Since it was established in 1926, the Friendship Fund has been a tangible demonstration of the love and concern we feel for one another. It is based on a beautiful, timeless idea—sisters reaching out to sisters. The Friendship Fund provides gifts to Thetas experiencing extreme financial hardship due to serious or terminal illness, job loss, natural disaster, and other devastating occurrences. One very important aspect of the Fund is the secrecy surrounding the giving of gifts. Two members write on the behalf of a sister, and the Friendship Fund committee determines the award amount. The requesters remain anonymous, and all records are confidential.
Through the Friendship Fund, we reaffirm our belief that Kappa Alpha Theta is larger than ourselves and that what we give to one another comes full circle.
Traditionally, contributions to the Friendship Fund are made through Founders Day gifts, but donations are welcome at any time during the year. The suggested contribution is $1 for each year of membership.
Please send a check written to "Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity" to:

Former Sebeka church youth group leader takes plea deal for sex crime
WADENA -- A former youth group leader at a Sebeka church approved a plea deal that would have him plead guilty to one count of criminal sexual conduct in Wadena County District Court, and serve a half a year in jail and another half a year on house arrest.
Jeffrey William Frodermann, 29, of Heron Lake, Minn., would also be required to register as a sex offender, serve nine years probation, pay a $3,000 fine and participate in treatment, according to the plea deal, which still has to be approved by a judge. A sentencing hearing to handle that has been set for Feb. 9, 2010. Frodermann would plead guilty to one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and have two other counts dismissed, if the judge approves.
Frodermann was a youth group leader at United Methodist Church in Sebeka, but resigned his position in July 2009, according to the Rev. Loren Ferch in an earlier interview. The church didn't learn of the accusation of sexual misconduct until long after Frodermann was gone -- about a week before the charge was filed -- and the church has cooperated fully with the investigation, Ferch said.
According to court documents, Frodermann met the girl through the church youth group. Then in late May or early June, she went to his house after a day of swimming, and he kissed her, undressed her, and had sexual contact with her there. The victim told investigators she and Frodermann had sexual intercourse on two separate occasions, once in Frodermann's vehicle and once at his house. The girl said she and Frodermann had discussed the age difference between them, and that Frodermann had commented that he could "get into trouble for it."

30 in 30: New-look Stars hope change does them goodby Tal Pinchevsky
In the past two years the Dallas Stars have seen an ownership change, two coaching changes and one general manager replaced. It's a lot of movement for a team that hasn't made the Stanley Cup Playoffs since 2008.
Owner Tom Gaglardi looked to establish some franchise stability when he named Jim Nill general manager in April. Nill was a fixture in the Detroit Red Wings' front office for nearly two decades, playing a prominent role on a team that won the Stanley Cup four times during his tenure.
In one of his first moves as GM, Nill provided more stability when he named Lindy Ruff the Stars' coach. Like Nill, Ruff had been a picture of consistency throughout his career, coaching the Buffalo Sabres for 15 seasons after spending a decade in Buffalo as a player.
"You look at any good team and stability is the key. That was a big part of our system in Detroit, I know in Buffalo it was the same way," Nill told NHL.com. "Tom Gaglardi has given the green light for Lindy and I to come in and put that stamp on the team. Whatever business you're in, stability is the key."
With a new brain trust in place, the Stars decided the main ingredient in finding franchise stability was … more change.
The wholesale moves started when Dallas acquired the rights to veteran defenseman Sergei Gonchar from the Ottawa Senators in early June. The team signed Gonchar to a new contract three days later, and a month after that made a trade with the Boston Bruins that brought centers Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley to Dallas in exchange for forward Loui Eriksson and prospects. With the acquisition of another center, Shawn Horcoff, that same day, Nill gave his team two things it desperately needed: depth at center and a quarterback on the power play.
Filling those holes was a big step. But Nill said he sees the biggest beneficiary from these moves being All-Star forward Jamie Benn, who can move to the wing after playing much of last season at center.
"I think we're going to see even more growth from Jamie Benn," Nill said. "By making these moves, this allows us to get Jamie back to his natural position. It gets him a real center to play with, a right-handed center to play with (Seguin). So I think you're going to see Jamie's game really grow."
Benn likely will have to take that step this season if the Stars hope to return to the playoffs. Ruff brought former Sabres assistant James Patrick with him to Dallas, reuniting a staff that had some success developing young players in Buffalo. That skill will be crucial, considering the Stars' 2013-14 season could be riding on their coaches' ability to groom a team that will be among the youngest in the NHL.
Additions: C Tyler Seguin, C Shawn Horcoff, C Rich Peverley, D Sergei Gonchar, G Dan Ellis, C Chris Mueller
Subtractions: LW Loui Eriksson, LW Eric Nystrom, D Philip Larsen, RW Matt Fraser, C Tom Wandell
UFAs: none
Promotion candidates: D Jamie Oleksiak, RW Valeri Nichushkin, RW Alex Chiasson
Benn, 24, could be entering his prime, but Seguin is 21 and much of the team's depth will be made up of young players who came in last season and established themselves on the roster, among them Alex Chiasson, Brenden Dillon and Cody Eakin. Throw in potential roster spots for defensive prospect Jamie Oleksiak and 18-year-old forward Valeri Nichushkin, the team's first pick at the 2013 NHL Draft, and this group could experience some growing pains coming out of the gate.
"I think there's no easy solution to any team becoming a good franchise," Ruff told NHL.com. "I think that takes a lot of hard work and discipline. For the most part, the good franchises are teams that have been able to grow their young players and be able to keep them. I think you've got to develop a trust in the way you want to play and a commitment from players. When you get that, it's a really powerful thing."
Franchise goaltender Kari Lehtonen will be a rock in the Dallas crease, but the team will need a drastic improvement on the blue line if it wants to take the next step. Besides Gonchar, the unit mostly is unchanged from the one that last season ranked 22nd in shots-allowed per game and 24th in goals-against per game. Ruff knows the Stars will go only as far as their defense takes them.
"It was a team the last couple of years that had been knocking on the door," he said. "Offensively they've been OK, but on the defensive side you'd like to be a little bit better."
Improving that defense will be a key to Ruff's first season in Dallas. But he may be most excited by the prospect of having a potential franchise center, Seguin. The longtime Sabres coach faced off against Seguin in several Northeast Division matchups and hopes to help him fulfill the expectations that have followed him since the Bruins selected him with the second pick of the 2010 NHL Draft.
"For me, it's going to fall on how he handles the opportunity to play center," Ruff said. "That in the short term will be an adjustment for him. I will have to be patient with him. He can change the direction of the game with some of the tools that he has. You want to see a player like that use the gifts he's been given."For all 30 in 30 stories go to NHL.com/30in30stories and for the full 30 in 30 schedule visit NHL.com/30in30.

Deprecated code analyzer for HTML::FormHandler
So the other day I've read Deprecated code analyzer for perl and I thought - this is a GREAT idea! And I stole it for HTML::FormHandler. Now with new releases our users will have a tool to find all the deprecated API calls in their code.

Awesome! Great example of how to attack the problem of deprecations.
I really hope more people will follow what you did for their own modules, and hopefully we will find a way to integrate this into a big and wonderful deprecation tool for all of CPAN.
In the end, maybe we can make a generic tool for perl that can handle deprecations in the interpreter, CPAN and possibly even let developers track deprecations in their own code.

TROY — Troy Police arrested a parent accused of driving drunk with his 6-year-old in the car on Sunday.
A concerned motorist called police at 9:10 p.m. to report a suspected drunk driver exiting I-75 at 14 Mile Road, according to a report released Tuesday by Troy Police. When officers pulled over the car, they discovered a 44-year-old Clawson man driving with his son sitting in the front seat.
The man had a 0.16 percent blood-alcohol level. Michigan law classifies drunken driving as above a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 percent.
Police cited the man for drunken driving and child endangerment, according to the report. The boy was turned over to his mother.
Earlier this month, police in Lake Orion arrested a 47-year-old Orion Township woman found driving with a 0.36 percent blood-alcohol level and her 9-year-old son in the back seat.

No, not the library in your castle, but your inspiration books for building!
What are the best books in your Castle library? I'm thinking of either reference books or picture books.
Some of my most-used references are:
Life in a Medieval Castle
Frances & Joseph Gies (who have also authored similar volumes about medieval cities and villages)
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... 8&v=glance
A bit dry, but somewhere between layman & scholarly. It's a pretty down-to-earth guide of what life was like for residents of a castle.
Castles: Their Construction and History
Sidney Toy
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... ce&s=books
It's almost a history of the technical & strategic progress of medieval warfare more than a castle reference book--but that's what drove change in castle building. Excellent look at many different castles in many different regions and how and why they developed. (And the Amazon spotlight review mentions adding it to your Lego room--bonus points!)
The Sutton Companion to Castles
Stephen Friar
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... ce&s=books
A comprehensive alphabetical index of castle-related terms. Some descriptions are a sentence or two long, some are pages. Indispensible if you're reading some of the more scholarly tomes like Tuchman's A Distant Mirror.
Other suggestions?

Lesson 167
Parts of the Sentence - Adverbs
Adverbs are words that modify (1) verbs, (2) adjectives, and (3) other adverbs. They tell how (manner), when (time), where (place), how much (degree), and why (cause). Why is a common one-word adverb that tells why. Adverbs that tell us how, when, where, and why always modify the verb. These adverbs can shift location in the sentence without changing meaning or what they modify. Adverbs that tell us how much modify adjectives or other adverbs. Adverbs that tell how much will come just before the adjectives or adverbs that they modify. These adverbs are also called qualifiers because they strengthen or weaken the words they modify. Examples: He kicked the ball solidly (how). He kicked the ball immediately (when). He kicked the ball forward (where). He kicked the ball too hard (how much).
Not and its contraction n't are adverbs. They really modify the entire sentence, but we will have them modify the verb as it is the most important word in the sentence. This is a common practice in grammar books.
Instructions: Find the adverbs in the following sentences and tell what word they modify.
1. Now and then I become creative.
2. Soon you will see that sight again.
3. He made the corrections on the computer immediately.
4. Sometimes you make unnecessary statements.
5. Lately I take walks often.
--For answers scroll down.
1. now/then modify the verb become telling when
2. soon/again modify the verb will see telling when
3. immediately modifies the verb made telling when
4. sometimes modifies the verb make telling when
5. lately/often modify the verb take telling when

This relatively new, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved outpatient procedure may bring an end to the chronic discomfort of hemorrhoids.
This minimally invasive surgical technique uses a circular stapling device to lift hemorrhoidal tissue to its original position and trims a band of tissue above the pain line. The process reduces blood flow to internal hemorrhoids, which causes them to shrink over several weeks following the procedure.
PPH is done in a different area of the rectum than traditional hemorrhoidal operations. As a result, no pain fibers are present, and the discomfort after surgery is minimal. Patients can go back to work and normal activities more quickly.
According to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS), the new procedure appears not only to be less painful, but also to reduce the risks of symptoms returning.
While results from the treatment are rapid and recovery nearly pain free, the technique is not simple. Surgeons of the Anorectal Disorders Program at Cedars-Sinai have been specially trained in the PPH procedure.
This procedure is most appropriate for patients with third- or fourth-degree hemorrhoids and certain patients with second-degree hemorrhoids.

Forum:Tom Bombadil, Man or Maia?
Tolkien Gateway > Council > Tom Bombadil, Man or Maia?
I have read numerous articles about Tom Bombadil and who exactly he is. But there are SO many different opinions, I still can't figure it out. I am a Tolkien fan under 20, and would really like a good strong opinion using facts to help me figure out who he really is. Below are some opinions i have heard:
1. Tom Bombadil is a "retired" Maia.
2. Tom Bombadil is just a crazy man.
3. Tom Bombadil was a fictional character from bedtime stories that Tolkien would make up for his children. Then he was later added to LoTR for no reason, just as an enigma.
Please help me out here. Thanks.
- Well, young fan. First off, our article on ol' Tom is a wreck - I'm planning to rewrite that. As for the opinions - #3 is the right one. -- Ederchil 03:21, 19 July 2008 (EDT)
- He's not a Maia or indeed a Vala because he says he was in Middle Earth before even Melkor. Obviously he's not a man, for a start he's immune to the ring's effects (which since Gandalf and Saruman aren't would be another reason he's not a Maia) and he's many thousands of years too old. Number 3 is correct, but that doesn't mean he can't be placed in Middle earth's cosmology. The way I see it, since we can't fit him in to any other categories and because of his unequivocal claim to being "Oldest" he is an integral part of the Music of the Ainur; a natural force of Middle earth, a hröa without a fëa. --Aule the Smith 13:42, 7 August 2008 (EDT)
- Can't agree more. It's exactly my opinion about Tom since years. Nice going, Aule. Sage 17:27, 7 August 2008 (EDT)
- Yes, I also agree with Aule. Tom Bombadil could be part of the Music of the Ainur. He could be made with Arda at the beginning of Time. However I'm not completely sure, because the assumption don't clarify why Tom, made together with Arda, is free to the Ring's evil effects, whilst the Ainur (like the Maiar) made by Ilúvatar before the Creation are not free. We can't forget that Arda is not immune from the evil effects of Morgoth's (and Sauron's) power. So the supposition that Tom Bombadil is part of the Middle-Earth and at the same time immune from the Ring's power could be a little paradox. Finrod Felagund 13:09, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Can't agree more. It's exactly my opinion about Tom since years. Nice going, Aule. Sage 17:27, 7 August 2008 (EDT)
- Could it possibly be that Tom B. is an avatar of Illúvatar? I have seen this tossed around by a few Tolkien scholars. In many forms of myth, some avatars of greater gods are not even aware that this is what they are. Japanese Myth for instance is replete with characters who are the avatars of great spirits who have no idea that this is their origin. Joseph Campbell talks about this in relation to primitive societies where the avatars must live among mankind in order to understand their suffering before they are allowed to enter into "Heaven" to take their place among the motive forces of the universe.
- Maybe this is what Tom B. is. I am pretty sure that he would have been unaware of Campbell (due to Campbell not yet having written most of his works and just being a student of Jung at the time. Being such a creature would give him the insights into the world and a flighty short attention span.
- Of course, it is just another theory, and it is far more likely that Tom is just an accident in the writing of The Lord of the Rings when he still had a vision of it as a more thorough children's story than The Hobbit. As such, he is the mystery of the far off towers in the mist which hold the promise of adventure for some and peril for others.
- Matthew 17:21, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
- I reckon Tom is basicaly a god. I think that he's the creator of everything natural, hence his power over trees. As he is a 'god' he is not affected by age or the ring.
- --Pand. 21:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Another suggestion I have heard is that he is a personification of Middle-earth: the ring doesn't affect him because the Ring affects people and not the land itself. This also might help to explain Goldberry's connection with him as she comes from Middle-earth itself (the Withywindle).
- But, ultimately, as Tolkien said in Letter 144, "And even in a mythical age there must be some enigmas, as there always are. Tom Bombadil is one (intentionally)." (In fact, Letter 144 is probably the most interesting and important with regards to Tolkien's thinking on Bombadil).
- With regards to the article on Tom, I think we should just state all the relevant points of view, with evidence and leave it at that. --Mith 14:20, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- My preferred solution to the enigma of Tom is that he is the author incarnate, the creator of the legendarium who has taken bodily form to enter and live inside his own creation. In other words, he is Tolkien himself. This interpretation is consistent with most of the textual references, and flows naturally from Tolkien's strong Christian beliefs. As the creator he is of course older than anything in his created world, and because he actually has an existence outside his creation in a wholly different dimension the powerful evils of Middle Earth do not hold sway over him. Finally, the author of a story generally tries to let his characters run their own lives and make their own decisions, rather then forcing them to act according to his own wishes. This explains why Bombadil chooses to live an isolated life, away from and unconcerned with all the important persons and events of Middle-earth, and can not be relied upon as the solution to the problem of the One Ring.—Unsigned comment by Faded Glory (talk • contribs).

Let's be real here for a second: we are dudes. And dudes like to watch hot ladies get it on. But since we're too classy for adult entertainment, we need to dial it down a notch and get our sex scenes from movies and TV. What they lack in the old in and out, they make up for in eroticism, or something. I don't know. Anyways, here's ten movies from the 00s with sex scenes that worked the hardest, if you know what I mean.
David Lynch movies are not known for their sex appeal (the passel of hotties in Twin Peaks being the welcome exception),but the intense lesbian sex scene in the brain-bending Mulholland Drive gets a spot on this list for sheer gall. Naomi Watts and Laura Harring (who may very well be the same person) not only have a hot bit together, but Watts also has one of the most emotionally intense masturbation scenes ever set to celluloid.
9. Hollow Man
Paul Verhoeven is on my all-time favorite directors list just for Robocop, but his underrated (and really sick) invisible dude flick Hollow Man shows him at his most human-hating. Kevin Bacon plays a molecular biologist who turns himself transparent and uses his new ability to spy on his neighbor (played by the insanely hot former Tomb Raider Rhona Mitra).
8. Black Snake Moan
Okay, straight off I feel like I need to be very clear on some issues with this: Christina Ricci is not hot in this movie. She looks like a Darfur refugee. But even with her scary anorexic body and huge bobblehead, somehow the sex scene between her and Justin Timberlake gets our blood rising – and it's not for Justin, no matter how much sexy he brings back.
7. Havoc
Anne Hathaway: total hottie who also dates sort of sleazy guys – which means we have a chance! Havoc was her token edgy gritty movie where she does drugs and deals with gangs, which every young actress needs to get out of her system. Also out of her system: a group sex thing with Bijou Phillips and two of those sleazy guys.
Check out the Top 10 Raunchiest Sex Scenes of All Time
6. Brotherhood of the Wolf
It's no lie that I have a shameful bone for Monica Belluci – the Italian sexpot with the fantastic cans is one of the foxiest actresses of the decade, so I knew she'd merit a spot on this list. The only question was for which film? I eventually went with this Frenchie flop, which was about Native Americans kung fu kicking werewolves (not as cool as it sounds) in which she goes full frontal in a volcanically hot sex scene.
5. American Psycho
For those who say that sex scenes add nothing but cheap titillation to a movie, I point you at Mary Harron's American Psycho. Patrick Bateman's self-serving threesome, in which he bangs a pair of clichéd 80s hardbodies while admiring himself in a mirror, speaks more about the character than a dozen pages of dialogue could. Throw in "Sussudio" by Phil Collins and you've got a Top 10 contender.
4. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Man, Marisa Tomei sure has come a long way since My Cousin Vinny. And while she certainly showed off a lot of stuff in The Wrestler, it's her love scenes in Sidney Lumet's Before The Devil Knows You're Dead that cemented her status as everybody's hottest comeback kid.
3. Ask The Dust
Salma Hayek: hot woman, or the hottest woman? I realize I'm probably letting slip a weakness for brunettes in this piece, but what can I say? When the tits are down, who really cares about hair? Those of us who have been yearning for spicy Salma to really go at it found our peace in this adaptation of a John Fante novel, in which she romps in the surf in the buff before banging Colin Farrell – that lucky bastard.
2. The Hole
No, this is not a gay porn movie. In fact, it was British hottie Keira Knightley's debut flick, and she certainly got off on the good foot, with a smoking hot three-way with two dudes. The story of four kids trapped in an air raid shelter, it's a tense psychological drama that also stars the comely Thora Birch.
1. Lust, Caution
Ang Lee, man – one of the most uneven directors of our time. But Lust, Caution is the top of his portfolio – a love story that embraces the weirdness of sex in all its forms. When a young Chinese woman is pressed into seducing and betraying a brutal secret service official, the pair engage in erotic, acrobatic, and deeply felt sex scenes that make us feel OK about writing this whole damn article.

Put simply, time and attendance software automates the process of capturing employee work hours. In reality, though, it's much more than just an electronic time clock.
These systems play an important role in multiple business operations, including:
We've created this guide to help prospective time and attendance software buyers make a more informed purchase decision regarding this pivotal aspect of their business.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Time and Attendance Software?
Common Features of Time and Attendance Software
Time and Attendance Tracking Software Market Trends
Time and attendance software is often referred to as employee time clock software or attendance tracking software. These terms are used interchangeable and refer to systems that perform a variety of every-day functions, including:
*Note: If you're looking for a system to track employee hours but need more advanced scheduling capabilities, such as shift scheduling and schedule distribution, head over to our guide explaining employee scheduling software.
Businesses can purchase time and attendance software as a standalone, or "best-of-breed" solution, or as part of a larger HR suite. Buyers who purchase standalone time and attendance software should check that the product integrates with their existing payroll system. This helps ensure seamless data transfer between the programs, resulting in an efficient payment process.
In an integrated suite, the attendance tracking module will connect with payroll as well as other important HR functions, such as benefits administration and employee evaluation.
Employee wages tied to work hours, as shown in Patriot Payroll. Integrating payroll and time and attendance systems helps businesses keep track of the hours logged by each employee. This is especially helpful if the pay-rate is different for overtime hours.
Features and functionality of employee time tracking software include:
|Punch-clock and manual time entry
|The most basic functionality is the ability to clock in and out and to manually enter times when necessary. Some tools also offer magnetic card readers, automated start/stop capability (e.g., clocking in when you turn your computer on, and out when you turn it off), PINs and other features to facilitate time-clocking.
|Sick/vacation/holiday/PTO management
|Allows you to track accrual and usage of sick days, vacation days, holidays or paid time off, allowing for easy calculation of attendance, remaining vacation days and approval of paid time off.
|Mobile integration
|Particularly useful for companies whose employees spend a lot of time out of the office, mobile apps allow the employee to clock in and out wherever they are. Many also include GPS tracking tools, supporting you in optimizing time usage.
|Employee scheduling
|Typical scheduling systems allow you to create and monitor schedules and compare them to the actual time worked. Managers can also set overtime alerts and employee reminders to improve attendance, tardiness and unnecessary overtime conditions.
|Job costing
|An advanced feature, job costing uses historical data and intelligent analytics to determine how many man-hours a project will require. This helps to eliminate the guesswork associated with the estimating process.
|Payroll integration
|If the system doesn't have a built-in payroll application, it should integrate effectively with your company's payroll system to ensure the speed and accuracy of payments and accounting. (If you're looking for a dedicated payroll system, see our guides on payroll as well as payroll products designed for Mac.)
|Labor regulation management
|Ensure people are taking their breaks and are rotating as required through legal or safety regulations. Keep track of data for reporting and compliance purposes.
Generally speaking, time and attendance tracking software buyers fall into one of the following categories:
HR departments. If you're purchasing software for an HR department, take a look at our HR Software Buyer's Guide, which lists all the features associated with these types of programs. Time and attendance management could be one of many functions you need: your ideal system might include benefits admin, applicant tracking, employee education and many other features HR professionals will find useful.
Workforce administration buyers. This is where smaller buyers typically find themselves. Your company has grown, but you haven't quite reached the level where you need a complete human resources management system. You do, however, want time and attendance tools that feed into your payroll, possibly with a scheduling or job costing tool as well. Products to consider include Kronos Workforce Ready or TimeForce. If your company falls under the category of professional employer organziation, you might be interested in viewing PEO software.
Self-employed/solopreneur. There are a number of vendors that offer free employee time clock software—both computer-based and smartphone-based—for individuals looking to make more efficient use of time. Even with added features like job costing, a low-cost solution like Tsheets should be all the solopreneur needs.
Prospective buyers should keep the following market trends in mind as they search for a time and attendance system:
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

|259: St Thomas, New York City, USA
|Other reports | Comment on this report
Mystery Worshipper: The Rev. Seth Wordsworth Little, D.D.
The church: St Thomas, New York City, USA.
Denomination: Episcopal Church in the USA.
The building: Landmark Gothic church of cathedral proportions designed by Ralph Adams Cram in the early part of the 20th century, on 5th Avenue and 53rd Street, just north of the Rockefeller Center.
The neighbourhood: As the population moved north on 5th Avenue in the early part of the 20th century, the parish made a conscious decision to remain at 5th and 53rd, and it remains a vital Christian presence in the midst of a very upscale commercial area.
The cast: Rev. Andrew Mead, Rector, was the preacher and celebrant. Dr. Gerre Hancock directed the celebrated choir of men and boys, and orchestra.
What was the name of the service?
Choral Requiem (setting by Gabriel Fauré).
How full was the building?
Comfortably full, with about 1,000 people.
Did anyone welcome you personally?
An usher, impeccably dressed, greeted us at the door, handed us an order of service, and gave the general feeling of welcome without overdoing it.
Was your pew comfortable?
How would you describe the pre-service atmosphere?
Reverent, for the most part. A section under the pulpit seemed to be the gathering section for regular parishioners, and there was more chatter there than elsewhere, but not distractingly so.
What were the exact opening words of the service?
The choir sang the opening introit and kyrie. The first spoken words were the invitation to the collect of the day: "Let us pray."
What books did the congregation use during the service?
Hymnal 1982 of the Episcopal Church and the printed order of service.
What musical instruments were played?
Organ, plus a chamber orchestra of violas, cellos, basses, French horns, harp and solo violin to accompany the Requiem.
Did anything distract you?
Not really. Because the orchestra was in the chancel, communion stations were set up across the front of the nave, and this unusual circumstance entailed some overt direction on the part of the ushers, so it was more distracting than usual, but done with obvious care and planning.
Was the worship stiff-upper-lip, happy clappy, or what?
Very formal and by the book. But within that context it was very warm and welcoming. I would guess that at least half of the congregation were visiting.
Exactly how long was the sermon?
8 minutes.
On a scale of 1-10, how good was the preacher?
9 very instructional. Not particularly eloquent or churchy, but a sort of helpful teaching style, which is, after all, what the sermon should be at mass instruction.
In a nutshell, what was the sermon about?
The Church's teaching on death: that although death will inevitably come to all of us, we are not to fear it, but to prepare for it.
Which part of the service was like being in heaven?
Everything. The music obviously played a central role, but the entire liturgy was one of grace, ease and power at the same time. Nothing stood out, yet everything was done with care and preparation.
And which part was like being in... er... the other place?
Apart from the slight awkwardness due to the unusual logistics surrounding the large congregation receiving communion at an unaccustomed place, nothing. The people at St Thomas really have the worship experience worked out smoothly.
What happened when you hung around after the service looking lost?
There was a printed invitation to come to coffee hour in the living room of the parish house, so I went there immediately following the service.
How would you describe the after-service coffee?
In a word, elegant. There was a lovely offering of coffee, tea and champagne. Really first class, in beautiful surroundings, and many friendly people stopped to introduce themselves. It is easy to understand why this church is full on Sunday mornings.
How would you feel about making this church your regular (where 10 = ecstatic, 0 = terminal)?
10. I know there are other wonderful churches in New York, but I can't understand why anyone would go anywhere else on a regular basis.
Did the service make you feel glad to be a Christian?
What one thing will you remember about all this in seven days' time?
Following the closing section of the Requiem (In paradisum) there was a long, deliberate silence before the choir walked out. The magic of total, absolute silence among a large congregation in a spectacular setting, following a moving service... this memory will remain for a while.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler said the City today sent dangerous building notices to the owners of two "O" Street buildings damaged by fire December 12. The notices give the owners 10 days to repair or demolish the buildings between 9th and 10th streets that housed Romantix and a former piano business. If no action is taken in 10 days, the City can proceed with demolition of both buildings and bill the owners for the expense.
The two buildings share a common wall, which engineers say is not structurally sound. The two eastbound lanes of "O" Street on the block remain closed to traffic for safety reasons and to allow room for the demolition equipment.
"It is in the City's best interests to get this major street reopened as safely and quickly as possible," said Beutler. "The City has worked patiently with all parties since the fire, but we feel they have had sufficient time to take action. I want to again thank the public for their patience as we have worked to resolve this situation."
The cause of the fire has not been determined.
