PPP released a poll today showing Carly behind Boxer by 52-43 and Whitman behind Brown 53-42. This assumes a fired up Democratic electorate that is exceeding its registration advantage (likely not, based on early voting and primary numbers) It assumes a D+13 electorate when registration is only D+12. Early voting and primary numbers both show a D+4 electorate. I create a D+5 electorate just in case.
PPP's Results:
Fiorina: 10/83/54
Boxer: 85/13/37
Whitman: 10/80/53
Brown: 86/14/39
Turnout: 47/34/19
So if Whitman and Fiorina are strong with Independents and you apply these same statistics to a more realistic turnout model:
Carly 46.1
Boxer 48
That's Boxer +1.9, similar to the advantage she has in early voting.
Meanwhile, for Whitman/Brown using the same turnout model:
Whitman 44.8
Brown 49.7
That's Brown +4.9, similar to what we're seeing from Survey USA.
Take partisan polls with a grain of salt.

Breaking New Ground...
There is nothing more exciting, yet at the same time frightening and uncertain, then seeing your artwork enter a new area. Well, thats where I'm heading now. Entering that dark tunnel, hoping to come out the other side, stronger and more confident. I guess the best thing you can do is enjoy the ride.
I see and feel the influence of looser strokes. More expressive brush and now nib work. Love the nib. I think all the Manga i've been reading is entering my DNA, as well as some European and South American artists i've been slowly digesting for years now.
Hope you all enjoy watching this change occur, and the results.

Hi I have not been here much but here goes with this tricky one, hopefully some one can help me, please.
I am creating a set of stairs running down a slope (yes what you usually use stairs for!!). These stairs need to have a roof over them at each flight, at the ends of the flight posts will be in place for the roof to sit on, we are at the planning/concept stage at the moment! I have attached an image of where I am in the project.
I will be offering other roof styles later, but at the moment the client wants to see a curved/semicircular roof style.

|Respondents to the 2011 Outlook survey as characterized according to the principle metal cast at their operations (above), and according to the size of their operations (below), represented by the number of employees.
|Overall, respondents were decisive in their expectation that their operations' 2010 casting shipments exceed 2009 shipments.
|Figure 4. Respondents do not expect improving business prospects to result in a higher leve of spending.
|Figure 5
|Figure 6. We asked readers to forecast their expectations for overall U.S. economic growth in 2011.
Figure 8. How have casting imports affected our respondants' businesses?
Questions, questions, questions. To be in manufacturing today is to be presented with a new series of questions every day, from verifying the quotidian details of production processes to addressing comprehensive issues that shape an organization. And, each December the questions take on an existential tone: What have we accomplished? Where are we headed next? At this time of year the objective is not to resolve new questions but to find new ways to answer ongoing challenges — achieving and maintaining profitability, growing market share — effectively.
We start the questioning early, conducting the annual FM&T Business Outlook Survey of metalcasting executives, managers, and operators by e-mail during October. This year the survey elicited an impressive response total of 326 individuals.
The survey respondents include representatives of the entire domestic metalcasting spectrum, including producers of aluminum, brass and bronze, ductile iron, gray iron, steel, and other metals (see Figure 1.) In addition, they are a reliable representation of the industry in terms of operation size (defined here by the number of employees (see Figure 2.)
The general purpose of our annual survey is to gauge the impressions of individuals who are actively involved in metalcasting, about current and near-term business conditions. In this sense, the defining issue of the survey presented in two questions: "How will your 2010 casting shipments (tonnage) compare with 2009 shipments?" (see Figure 3), and "How do you expect your 2011 casting shipments to compare with 2010 shipments?"
Better or worse?
With 10 months of data available to them, our survey respondents were decisive (57%) in their conclusion that their 2010 shipments will improve over their 2009 results. 2009 was a historically bad year for business in general and manufacturing in particularly, but it seems relevant to point out that in FM&T's 2010 Business Outlook Survey, conducted in October 2009, only 9% of all respondents were able to predict that they would improve their results over the previous year.
However, that 27% of this year's responders see their results remaining essentially even with 2009, and that 17% see 2010 as a decline over last year, suggests that the metalcasting sector is not recovering from 2009 in an even fashion. A closer examination of these results suggest that the optimism is most commonly shared by producers of gray iron, aluminum, and steel castings — possibly an indicator of improving prospects for automotive foundries.
The more pressing question in the current survey is the one that looks ahead: "How do you expect your 2011 casting shipments to compare with 2010 shipments?" Once again, the result is decidedly in the most optimistic direction, with 54% anticipating an increase in casting shipments during the coming year, and 41% seeing a continuation of the same 2010 conditions prevailing. Just 4% of all respondents see shipment levels declining in 2011.
In more detail we see again that the most optimistic of our survey respondents are those producing castings in aluminum, gray iron, and steel. The respondents who anticipate more of the same in 2011 are fairly evenly spread across the metal categories, and the very small number of respondents who forecast a decline in shipments are similarly distributed.
Also interesting to note is the way that responses to this forecast question are distributed according to the size of operations. To review, the overall response finds 54% of those surveyed expect an increase in 2011 shipments versus 2010, 41% expect more of the same, and 4% their expect shipments to decrease next year. The optimism is evenly shared by operations of all sizes, but it's slightly more likely to be found in operations with 20 to 49, 50 to 99, and 100 to 249 employees. The no-change outlook is most common among plants with 20 or fewer employees, and though they are a small element of the whole, those expecting a decrease in shipments also are likely to be the smallest operations.
Size factors
Optimism about the future does not necessarily transfer into actions. While most of our respondents see casting shipments rising in 2011, such a positive outlook does not seem to encourage plans for new capital investments. Asked "How, and by what percentage, will your 2011 capital expenditures compare to your 2010 capital expenditures?" (see Figure 4), 59% of all respondents indicated their investment total will remain unchanged; 32% of respondents will increase their spending total; and 9% will decrease the value of their plans.
Within the frame of this question, it's worth studying again the profile of our respondents' metalcasting operations. Of those foundries planning to increase capital spending next year, a majority (32.4%) are gray iron operations, followed closely by steel foundries. However, among the 30 foundries that plan to decrease capital spending next year, the gray iron plants also lead the pack.
Among those planning to increase capital spending in 2011, a decided majority (47%) are metalcasters with 100 to 249 workers. The remaining foundries with plans to increase their investment are rather evenly distributed among the other employment-size groups.
Plants that plan to decrease their 2011 capital investment plans are more likely to have less than 20 employees, though the totals 17are more evenly distributed among plants of all sizes.
Following the money
While most survey respondents do not plan to increase capital investments in 2011, there are spending plans in the works: 57% of the respondents plan to purchase new equipment, 19% plan to expand their existing operation, and 2% (seven respondents) indicate plans to build new metalcasting plants in 2011. Just over one-third, 34% of the total or 110 of all respondents, indicate they will have no capital expenditures in 2011.
But, for the other 66% the planning continues, and it covers a range of processes and equipment. (See Figure 5; note that respondents were invited to identify more than one category of 2011 capital spending.)
Among all these responses, the most likely (26%) object of metalcasters' 2011 investments will be melting equipment, followed very closely by cranes and hoists (24%), which tied with lift trucks and loaders (24%). These choices were followed by grinding equipment (20%) and pollution controls (19%) to comprise the top five choices for metalcasters' 2011 capital spending plans..
The problem areas
We use the Outlook Survey to gauge metalcasters' sense of the problems in the industry, and their assessment of 2010 reveals a sense of their daily challenges and long-term concerns. (See Figure 7; note that respondents were invited to identify more than one area of concern.) Their most commonly cited problem (45%) has been a lack of orders, followed by medical/insurance costs (40%), raw materials costs (39%), energy costs (29%), and imported castings (27%.) Other issues scoring high among the respondents' concerns were workers' compensation costs, EPA and OSHA requirements, capital availability, and on-time delivery of castings.
And does 2011 offer any brighter prospects on these matters? Our survey respondents identified numerous areas where they anticipate "major problems" in the coming year, topped by medical/ insurance costs (43%). Raw materials costs (35%), lack of orders (31%), energy costs (30%), and imported castings (26%) complete the top five concerns about 2011. EPA requirements and workers' compensation costs tied for sixth place (24%), followed by OSHA requirements, capital availability (17%), and training (14%) finish their list of future challenges.

A dark and disturbing psychological thriller from "Germany".
A lot of people have compared this film to "silence of the lambs" and if you do that, then you gonna be disappointed, not that this is in any way a bad movie, but "SOTL" is in a class of its own. The only similarities in this film to "SOTL" is that a cop uses the mind of a imprisoned serial killer to solve a brutal murder,but apart from that, it's pretty much it's own film. You know within the first two minutes that this film is gonna be epic, and I have to say it definitely has the best opening scene of any film in that genre.
So don't listen to all the crackhead reviews on IMDB, they don't appreciate films for what they are, they are too focused on dissecting and making stupid comparisons to other movies, so they can just fucking moan, make your own mind up about it , it's tense, dark, brilliantly acted and I fucking loved it.

This roving offshore trading community of professional expatriates can be a demanding; it does not trade tax free on a whim and a prayer but downloads and tests the offshore trading platform(s) best suited to its specific technical, personal and technological trading requirements before opening numbered offshore trading accounts. In addition to these clients, Asset Managers, Wealth Managers and Fund Managers work with Offshore Stock Brokers most versatile trading platform called Offshore Trader because they require total individual segregation of their clients in sub accounts which allow their clients to see their individually segregated net equity at all times, in real time.

Click here to see which CFD markets could be executed through Offshore Trader as at 10.01.2008
American Clients and U.S. Investors trading offshore Amongst the many other categories that compose the ranks of offshore investors world-wide, we should not forget the much abused U.S. and American traders, clients and expatriates. These U.S. offshore investors and American expatriates have been very negatively affected in terms of choice by the collateral anti-commercial damage done by the Patriot's Act which has also served to ironically reinforce the oligopoly of the handful of incumbents in the United States, namely the American Exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX) and three or four of the large U.S. Investment Banks currently under the cosh of the sub-prime debacle. These factors have directly or indirectly contributed to the effective banning and/ or commercially exorcism of CFDs from the U.S. (should we say "sold short"?) by the United States of America for much the same reason that spread betting was hit (and I use the word advisedly) by the current American Administration. The latest ruling by the WTO is quite an eye opener. Market orientated opinion makers in America are growing louder in their condemnation of these anti commercial, essentially anti-American measures (i.e. bad for the US economy).
Sitrep on changes in the trading world on the various continents The betting world (yes, convergence of the two is inevitable) has changed immeasurably within the last 12 months and the financial landscape has definitely changed more radically than most traditional brokers and financial institutions currently realise; the investment world or, rather, the world of investment (of investment choices) is now every man's financial oyster and it is literally, technologically there for the taking, for the 'investing'. There are now really no such things as exotic markets: there are simply those markets that are MORE or LESS executable in terms of trading. It is as simple (or as difficult) as that! Take a look at that eternal basket case, Africa, at present on an upward economic surge on high mineral prices and aggressive inward Chinese investment. On the Sub-Saharan African continent, apart from South Africa itself, the stock exchanges are difficult to access with low liquidity which can be risky for an investor but this is improving fast in tandem with the economic growth shown by this continent over the last five years. A good point in case would be Angola, which is now the biggest Sub Saharan producer of oil in Africa, having overtaken Nigeria over the last few years. Angola's heretofore unknown stock exchange is currently shaping up and investors should watch this space as Angola is a huge store house of mineral wealth. If they can jettison the legal hangover from their erstwhile Scientific Socialism (Communist) period and allow foreign investors to have full ownership of land, then the process would be ten times more dynamic. As it stands, this throwback to Agostinho Neto's day in the 70's only serves to promote more graft as disaffected foreign investors get their investments 'squeezed then seized'. Subject to this important caveat, the Angolan markets could be very exciting indeed and the days of executing CFDs on Angolan stocks and shares cannot be that far off.
Other continents such as the Australian continent boast very mature and innovative stock exchanges and Australia is setting up a formal CFD stock exchange (will America eventually follow its lead?) and it has effectively become the gateway to other potentially more important oriental stock exchanges such as the Japanese, Chinese, Korean exchanges etc. Back in Europe, another gateway-type exchange is the Austrian Stock Exchange whose brokers are highly specialised in Eastern European exchanges such as Russia and erstwhile satellite countries now vying for a piece of the international investor's pie with a significant stock market offering of their own. These exchanges (e.g. Poland, Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania etc.) are coming from virtually a zero base with a highly intelligent, highly educated populace and will outstrip growth of more mature exchanges such as the Belgium Stock Exchange (read EURONEXT in its many manifestations) over the medium term.
On the South American continent, the Brazil Stock Exchanges, the Brasil (as it is spelled in Portuguese) Stock Exchanges have been stellar performers but they have 3 significant impediments when compared to the budding Eastern European Exchanges for which reason they will not show the same explosive growth over the next 3-4 years unless they get their economic, technological and legal act together quickly: they are technologically weak in terms of online trading (segregated online sub accounts in 2007 were virtually impossible to set up); the legal investment and regulation framework favours banks and very large financial institutions; it is weighted against foreign brokers and a closed shop of Brazilian brokers has been effectively created; this makes for very expensive operating costs for a foreign broker and a lengthy (and costly) set up
Offshore Centres, Offshore Trading Accounts, Products & Financial Markets Coming to offshore centres, offshore jurisdictions, offshore investment and offshore trading, British Common Law continues to rule the offshore waves and the investorseurope affiliate network includes investors BVI, part of the investorseurope network, as are the Cayman Island investors network, investorseurope Cyprus site network and British, Australian, Canadian and U.S. investors can access exchanges far and wide including the Dubai stock exchange.

LIFFE, MDAX, OMX, OSE, ASX100, SWX,
ETFs are also very popular product and the better trading platforms offer a good selection of ETFs. The choice of product will depend on each client and each investor's individual risk profile and wish to leverage up their available cash to invest in futures or CFDs using a margin and buy and sell or hit the bid or the offer on financial products traded tax free on stock exchanges throughout the world online using a numbered trading account given by investorseurope after they have opened an offshore trading account.

As a regulated institution, investorseurope invests heavily in what it calls clients "training for trading success" and in terms of investor education, investorseurope has a site called investors university for the benefit of offshore clients and investors can register their interest with the company -should they so wish- to contribute to the site itself called Investors University whose motto as referred to above is "Training for Trading Success". The investor bond, the relationship between the stock broker and its investors is of paramount importance to Offshore Stock Brokers which is seeking contributors to develop its investors clinic for investors needing clinical investor assistance and help with trading techniques or hardware/ software technology.

Bertrand Boulle's family is in the mining extraction and diamond business and investorseurope's stockbroker Head Offices are at 745 Europort in Gibraltar's financial district with the Rock of Gibraltar itself as backdrop. Pierre Boulle created the investometer which calibrates and compares analyst recommendations. Gibraltar stockbroker has a unique stock broking strategy, a unique service for investors and offshore traders, HNWI and institutions as well as funds because it offers the largest worldwide selection of independent trading platforms for offshore execution which it has coined "Offshore Trading Platforms" ; investorseurope is a member of the Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce as well as member of the Gibraltar Association of Stockbrokers and Investment Managers (GASIM). Investors Europe tailors its choice of Offshore Trading Platforms (OTPs) to every client's trading requirements covering the countries below, with the brokerage list being added to on an ongoing basis:
Austria Belgium Bulgaria Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Latvia Lithuania Netherlands Norway Poland Portugal Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey UK Morocco Namibia South Africa Hong Kong China India Japan Russia South Korea Taiwan Thailand Australia Indonesia Malaysia New Zealand Singapore
Although there is –as yet- no trading platform that will trade all financial products (stocks, futures, ETFs, FOREX, CFDs, Funds etc.) in all stock exchanges, investorseurope , based in Gibraltar, is unique because it will find and set up the trading platform best suited to every client's needs and investorseurope is not corporately tied to any trading platform and can therefore offer the requisite execution platforms on an objective best-of-breed basis. Investor Europe gets lots of coverage on the internet and is easily found on Google, Froogle, Yahoo and other online directories, regional and commercial directories and search engines. Over the last three years, Gibraltar has attempted to set up the legal infrastructure to attract funds and specifically experienced investor funds to the Rock and more recently a Gibraltar stock exchange called gibEX. The Gibraltar Stock Exchange will come on-stream during the course of 2008 and is expected to attract new money and new investors to Gibraltar's burgeoning economy. Although gaming plays an important part in terms of employment in this British colony in Europe, funds from the UK are now being increasingly attracted to Gibraltar and setting up shop in Gibraltar and investment in the Rock in this sector is on the up and up.
Gibraltar is a bit of an anachronism, a British Colony in Europe in Spain's very back yard and yet not quite British; a member of the EU yet no Value Added Tax (VAT); part of mainland Europe yet a jurisdiction boasting Common Law making it quite a unique offshore lodged where it is amongst the so-called PIGS countries (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain); Common Law makes it an efficient jurisdiction from which to do business and it has a Gibraltar finance centre to promote and encourage investment in Gibraltar which in 2007 is riding the crest of an investment wave and the Gibraltar Government has been very proactive about Gibraltar's future and at the forefront of this process. Online gaming has been particularly successful over the last 4 years and Gibraltar probably leads the world in this area at the moment, with America having attempted –unsuccessfully- to protect its own internal market by emergency legislation.
Some useful Gibraltar organisations are here: The Gibraltar Government has both a Gibraltar website and a UK website and promotes Gibraltar by means of various road shows and conferences that The European Finance Centre organises; the Financial Services Commission and the Gibraltar Investor Compensation Scheme work in tandem with regard to regulated entities such as investorseurope whilst the Gibraltar Association of Stockbrokers and Investment Managers represents financial institutions. Other institutions reinforcing Gibraltar's standing as an offshore jurisdiction of high quality are The Gibraltar Society of Chartered and Certified Accountancy Bodies, The Auditors Registration Board, The Gibraltar Regulatory Authority and The Ombudsman. At Companies House offshore companies can be registered whilst support is provided to Gibraltar registered companies by The Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce and The Gibraltar Federation of Businesses. The AIBW, the Association of Introducing Brokers is also based in Gibraltar and its founding member is Investors Europe. The AIBW, the Association of Introducing Brokers Worldwide, has two fundamental aims which underpin its mission: To promote, to defend and to support the role of Introducing Brokers (IBs); to promote, to defend and to support Gibraltar as a modern offshore jurisdiction of the highest quality. These are the wickis that betterspread is working with: Offshore-Stockbrokers, investometer, download a free trading demo and Investors University.

Under our characterisation and philosophy, our goal is TO BE UNIQUE. In case we cannot find any products on the market for our partners, by which we could satisfy their professional economic and design requirements (appearance, colour, size, etc.), we are ready to design it based on our technical know-how and professional experience of several years, and to have it manufactured by our subcontractors.
We carry out our activities by utilising our network of connections, established during several years, and by the help of our highly-qualified subcontractors.
Our manufacturing tasks have dual ingredients: on one hand they are composed of the unique requirements of our customers, and, on the other hand, we try to fill our those "niches" by the above-mentioned activities which are missing from the healthcare field, respectively, which show general deficiencies - by all this, our objective is to support the recovery process of patients and to shorten the patient journey, in accordance and cooperation with the medical staff carrying out the treatment.
Distribution of our fields of manufacture:
- electronic equipment
- mechanical systems
- electrical and mechanical equipment

Today I made an Explosion Box Mini Album to share with you. For this project I used two Cricut cartridges. For the Explosion Box itself I used The Mini Books cartridge and for the cute little Monsters I used the Mini Monster's cartridge.
Here's the finished product, all closed up and looking spiffy. I added round wooden balls ( which I painted orange) for the feet and lid. Halloween striped ribbon from my stash and lovely green lace ( also from my stash).
This is what it looked like when I first opened it.
I'm never quite sure how to decorate the center of the box. This time I chose this cute little guy.
I think this monster just might be my favorite. I'm really glad I was able to find my googly eyes. It took my awhile, but they're a perfect fit for all my monsters.
The frog is on the Mini Monster's Cartridge and because my sister loves frogs I decided he would be a perfect addition to my little album.
I had to cut out the water monster twice. The first time he was too big to fit in the box.
I chose to make my mini album Halloween themed for a couple of reasons:
I have four family members who have birthday's at the end of October.
I have a plethora of Halloween themed paper because Halloween is my sister's favorite day.
I had two packages of black and orange cardstock left over from my daughter's graduation party.
last but not least, it was my goal to make this project without going out and buying anything for it. And I did it. Everything that I used for this project I pulled from my stash. It was a momentous occasion. :)
Thank you for stopping by. Your next stop is Nancy's Blog.
I know she's going to have something amazing to show you.

708 Luke viii. 18.
709 Pronuntiationi.
710 Sane: with a touch of irony.
711 Luke viii. 18.
712 Luke viii. 16.
713 Luke viii. 17.
714 Matt. xii. 48.
715 Rationales. "Quae voces adhibita ratione sunt interpretandae."-Oehler.
716 Luke x. 25.
717 Luke xx. 20.
718 Singular in the original, but (to avoid confusion) here made plural.
719 In allusion to Luke vii. 16. See above, chap .xviii.
720 Advivit.
721 Adgenerantur.
722 Constat. [Jarvis, Introd. p. 204 and p. 536.]
723 Nunc: i.e., when Christ was told of His mother and brethren.
724 "C. Sentius Saturninus, a consular, held this census of the whole empire as principal augur, because Augustus determined to impart the sanction of religion to his institution. The agent through whom Saturninus carried out the census in Judaea was the governor Cyrenius, according to Luke, chap. ii."-Fr. Junius. Tertullian mentions Sentius Saturninus again in De Pallio, i. Tertullian's statement in the text has weighed with Sanclemente and others, who suppose that Saturninus was governor of Judaea at the time of our Lord's birth, which they place in 747 A.u.C. "It is evident, however," says Wieseler, "that this argument is far from decisive; for the New Testament itself supplies far better aids for determining this question than the discordant ecclesiastical traditions-different fathers giving different dates, which might be appealed to with equal justice; while Tertullian is even inconsistent with himself, since in his treatise Adv. Jud. viii., he gives 751 A. U. C. as the year of our Lord's birth" (Wieseler's Chronological Synopsis by Venebles, p. 99, note 2). This Sentius Saturninus filled the office of governor of Syria, 744-748. For the elaborate argument of Aug. W. Zumpt, by which he defends St. Luke's chronology, and goes far to prove that Publius Sulpicius Quirinus (or "Cyrenius") was actually the governor of Syria at the time of the Lord's birth, the reader may be referred to a careful abridgment by the translator of Wieseler's work, pp. 129-135.
725 Non simpliciter. St Mark rather than St. Luke is quoted in this interrogative sentence.
726 Ex condicione rationali. See Oehler's note, just above, on the word "rationales."
727 Abdicavit: Rigalt thinks this is harsh, and reminds us that at the cross the Lord had not cast away his Mother. [Elucidation VI.]
728 This is literally from St. Matthew's narrative, chap. xii. 48.
729 In semetipso.
730 Matt. x. 37.
731 Ceterum.
732 i.e., the kindred. [N.B. He includes the Mother!]
733 We have translated Oehler's text of this passage: "Denique nihil magnum, si fidem sanguini, quam non habebat." For once we venture to differ from that admirable editor (and that although he is supported in his view by Fr. Junius), and prefer the reading of the mss. and the other editions: "Denique nihil magnum, si fidem sanguini, quem non habebat." To which we would give an ironical turn, usual to Tertullian, "After all, it is not to be wondered at if He preferred faith to flesh and blood, which he did not himself possess!"-in allusion to Marcion's Docetic opinion of Christ.
734 Luke vii. 25.
735 Agnorant.
736 Et pari utrinque stupore discriminis fixum.
737 Josh. iii. 9-17.
738 This obscure passage is thus led by Oehler, from whom we have translated: "Lege extorri familiae dirimendae in transitu ejus Jordanis machaeram fuisse, curjus impetum atque decursum plane et Jesus docuerat prophetis transmeantibus stare." The machoeram ("sword") is a metaphor for the river. Rigaltius refers to Virgil's figure, Aeneid, viii. 62, 64, for a justfication of the simile. Oehler has altered the reading from the "ex sorte familae," etc., of the mss. to"extorri familiae," etc. The former reading would mean probably: "Read out of the story of the nation how that Jordan was as a sword to hinder their passage across its stream." The sorte (or, as yet another variation has it, "et sortes," "the accounts") meant the national record, as we have it in the beginning of the book of Joshua. But the passage is almost hopelessly obscure.
739 Solis.
740 Istus.

791 I have no doubt that ten was the word written by our author; for some Greek copies read de/ka, and Ambrose in his Hexaëmeron, book vi. chap. ii., mentions the same number (Fr. Junius).

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Easter weekend is always so special!
Before the Easter break, Maddy and I made some special Hershey kiss jars for
her friends at school and
also put together some Easter baskets for the Littles!
We had so much fun picking out special things for Janie, Walt and Harry!
On Easter morning, Mr. Tennis, Maddy and I went to the early
7:30 AM Mass and it was packed!
We had a brunch reservation later, so went home to read the
newspaper (think we are among the few who still get the newspaper, but I cannot give it up).
I may or may not have had a few Hershey kisses
I may or may not have had a few Hershey kisses
to tide me over til brunch!
Oh yum, seriously, brunch was fabulous and fun! Seeing the crowd waiting in line
when we left around 1 PM, made me so happy I had made
our reservation for 11:30 AM.
|Philip, Harry, Catherine, Janie & Walt
We attempted some selfies on the golf course afterward, but
it was so windy, they did not turn out well.
However, we managed to get a few photos since we were
all dressed up and that doesn't seem to happy often.
Unfortunately, Connor was out of town.
We missed him and saved a chocolate bunny!
Hope he gets home soon -- that bunny is calling my name!
After brunch, we were in a food coma,
so headed home for naps!
Hope you had fabulous weekend too!

Today while I was cleaning up around the house I stumbled across some random drawings that I had laying around. I thought they looked cool so I decided to build some free Photoshop brushes out of them. Each brush is hi-res around 2500px. I loved how the leaves turned out!

"Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money." --Moliere
Friday, July 29, 2016
Welcome to the 2016 Jackass Convention (What? That's a DONKEY?)
The DNC and the RNC each have something very important in common with the WWE. Really. The Democrats had a scripted outcome to make their previously selected nominee the official candidate, and the Republicans had a Royal Rumble with a cartoonish heel emerging as the winner.
No wonder pro wrestling is so popular.
Last night, the DNC convention ended with (big surprise--not!) Hillary Clinton as their candidate. She made a rousing acceptance speech and attempted to show her followers the "real" Hillary....
While Bernie Sanders' disappointed supporters made their feelings known....
Clinton's victory, as with just about everything else in her long political career, was tainted--this time by Wikileaks' revelation of hacked emails and voicemail that proved the DNC had conspired to undermine Sanders' bid for the nomination. What is it with Hillary Clinton and emails, anyway?
I'm looking forward to the Vice Presidential debate. Kaine vs. Pence. In WWE fashion, it could be a pay-per-view event. Call it The Battle of the Bland--let's see who can put an entire nation to sleep first!
Of course, the Enemy was never far from their minds....
Who'd have thought? Now we know what that awful comb-over is for....

I own about 300 books on writing, including the much-touted "On Writing" by Stephen King, but "The Writer's Portable Mentor" by Priscilla Long is the single book that belongs on every writer's bookshelf. While Natalie Goldberg, Stephen King, and Julia Cameron talk about the head-stuff of writing, Priscilla Long talks about the actual nuts and bolts that are required in a writer's toolbox. There are no gimmicks in her book either. This is a practical text-book, if you will, about how to become a craftsman. After all, that's what a writer should aim to be – a craftsman. It's suitable for the novice writer and the advanced writer because the skills that Long suggests writers need are applicable at whatever stage a writer happens to be at.
Long discusses the importance of reading, and while all readers read, virtuoso writers re-read. Long guides readers through reading to develop craft. It is only when we learn to dismantle great stories that we find the tools that will develop our own stories. Long's style is accessible and the advice she offers is practical and enormously helpful.
The importance of grammar is given an ample amount of attention. Sentence types are elucidated upon to improve a writer's range of skill in sentence structure. The importance of metaphor and simile are explained. Long has a knack of making the reader want to immediately pick up a pen and start practicing. Which brings me to practice.
Long promotes writing practice, after all, writers write, and Long suggests keeping a writing practice notebook where all that practice takes place. That's nothing new, you say. You're right, it isn't new. Dorothea Brande promoted practice pages/morning pages in the 1930s, long before Julia Cameron came along with The Artist's Way. What is new, is that Long doesn't want the writing practice sessions to stay in the notebook, she wants them to be purposeful at the outset, and then for them to be transcribed into the appropriate project at the end of the writing session. Long encourages writers not only to write, but to write with the intention of publication, and her proposed strategy elevates the practice of writing practice.
The Writer's Portable Mentor is one of those books you won't take off your desk. When you're stuck, you'll return to it again and again to seek out one of Long's practical suggestions to assist you. If you read only one book on writing craft, this should be it.

The following was initially a comment on danah boyd's recent post discussing Facebook's "slippery slope" of betraying its users, most recently with Project Beacon. Please share your thoughts if you have them!
"Trusting Facebook users" are generally older folk- I think they're more open to publicizing their online profiles because they're seeking to make connections, they're gaining from the public exposure and excited by all the novel possibilities. My ethnography of social networking sites primarily re/presents the voices of college students- particularly veteran Facebook users. The site started out as being a great little niche environment, so people could exchange intimate messages and upload photos from that crazy party where everyone was on a ton of drugs and so on. Then it opened up, everyone was pissed, and that's when attitudes toward Facebook started to shift.
Most first-generation Facebookers have some degree of distrust/disgust for the site, often a great deal of it. Yet they continue to use it because it's become so firmly integrated into campus social life- it's a way to easily invite people to parties and share photos from said parties, to visually organize one's social network and keep track of alumni and old high school buddies, to find out the sexuality or relationship status of that boy you've been admiring from afar. It's crucial. If you're not on Facebook, you're going to be somewhat out of the loop.
Such important social practices generally take precedence over the egregious invasions of privacy that most are highly suspicious of. The trend is not abandoning Facebook- it's far too useful. However, the site's reputation is definitely tainted, and some Facebookers are using the site to form or join groups that promote awareness of Facebook's privacy policies and petition for change. Most, however, are simply becoming more savvy and protective of their online personas; it's become increasingly common for me to be unable to access the profiles of those I'm not friends with because of that practice. Others have simply taken to deleting much of their profiles, leaving just an e-mail address, a witty or ironic comment, and maybe a funny picture. There's also a huge trend to apathetically accept that nothing can be done about it, much like how a lot of young people feel about our government.
Again, these are just observations of the changing attitudes among a specific subset of Facebook users. They know what's going on (though I would say that only the Tech-savvy blog-readers have even heard about Project Beacon- but they know their information is being used for capitalist endeavors), they're disgruntled that so much of what they do on Facebook is publicly broadcast and forever archived. Regardless of how they talk about it, however, they're still using it regularly for everyday social practices. For many, it's become as habitual to check Facebook as it is to check e-mail.

Whenever someone hears about my longtime career in fundraising and board education, they inevitably ask how I came to this line of work. My answer is that it just happened.
In my early twenties, I assumed that a career in college teaching was in my future, but a detour into the public relations office at Tabor College (Hillsboro, KS) changed everything. The rest, as the saying goes, is history.
I've held administrative positions at three Christian colleges, directed a grant-funded project for the Coalition of Christian Colleges (now Council for Christian Colleges and Universities), and for a brief time, worked with the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania as the Director of the Foundation for Independent Colleges of Pennsylvania.
A little over a decade ago, I established a solo consulting practice (BASINGER CONSULTING) with about half of my projects coming to me via In Trust, an organization that serves the boards of seminaries and theological schools in the United States and Canada. Occasionally, I've taken on a "day job," including six years as the half-time director of congregational relations with the Brethren in Christ Church. For the most part however, I've kept busy with the work that is nearest and dearest to my heart – helping faith-based nonprofits and their boards to fulfill their missions with economic vitality.
It seems that I am forever preparing for a speaking engagement or staring down a deadline on a writing project. In addition to articles on academic governance, institutional advancement, and Christian stewardship that carry my by-line, I am the co-author with Dr. Thomas Jeavons of the book, Growing Givers' Hearts: Treating Fundraising as Ministry (Jossey-Bass Publishers, 2000). I also authored chapters in A Handbook for Seminary Presidents (Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2004), Revolution in Generosity: Transforming Stewards to be Rich Toward God (Moody Publishers, 2008), and most recently, Becoming a Steward Leader: Fundamentally Change the Way You Thing, Lead, and Live (Christian Leadership Alliance, 2012).
My career may have just happened, but I've never regretted the road I've taken. I can't imagine anything more exciting than the amazing and always interesting ministry God has given me. As I am quick to tell novice fundraisers, there is no better company than generous people.


text:
One has admitted to trying drugs when he was a youth, attended a church where the head pastor had spouted hate-filled rhetoric, and attended charity board meetings and a fundraiser at the home of a person -- now a professor whose associates include the mayor of Chicago -- who did horrific things 40 years ago.
One was considered a hell raiser when he was young, left his first wife after she had a car accident that left her disfigured and coping with disabilities and married a younger, richer woman, and was later caught up in a savings and loan scandal.
Another cheated on his wife with, according to media reports, several women, and tried to get out of being sent to fight in Vietnam when he was a college student.
Another used to drink too much alcohol, had a hell raiser past and had his military service in Vietnam was questioned.
The aforementioned men -- Barack Obama, John McCain, Bill Clinton and George Bush -- have flaws. We all have flaws. And histories. And lessons learned. Name a person who doesn't have some kind of story in his or her past that raises eyebrows or never made some bad decisions, and I'll show you someone who hasn't lived life or gleaned any wisdome from it. People grow and evolve and are distinctly imperfect. Expecting people, especially our elected officials, to have flawless lives is unreasonable and inadvisable (who wants someone holding office who's never learned from her mistakes?).
As we enter the last month of the presidential campaign, the sewage has starting flooding the airwaves in earnest. The U.S. and world economies are in crisis. People's confidence has been shaken as they worry about whether they'll still have their jobs by Christmas and whether they'll be able to pay for their retirement. Meanwhile, the presidential campaigns -- for two men who, under normal circumstances, are honorable people with interesting life stories -- have turned negative because negative sells and sways voters. Back when I was doing graduate work in political science in D.C., I took a course on campaign management run by veterans of several major political campaigns. When we came to the unit on campaign advertising, the message was loud and clear: Negative works.
That doesn't mean, however, that we, the voters, have to like the big nasty turn this presidential campaign has taken. Not from McCain. Not from Obama. Words and phrases like "liar," "pal around with terrorists" and "dishonorable" shouldn't be thrown into the mix at a time when the economy is tanking, our country is at war on two fronts and some of the folks at AIG who received $85 billion from the taxpayers in an attempt to help jump-start the economy, days after getting federal approval, blew $440,000 on a week-long retreat "at a luxury resort and spa," spending $150,000 on meals and $23,000 on spa services, according to ABC News. This, as ordinary New Englanders are talking about how they'll pile on blankets and sweaters this winter and not turn on the heat often because home heating oil is so expensive.
Republican California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger -- who, because of the tightening of credit right now, is asking the federal government for an emergency loan to keep his state afloat -- has had enough. "Look at what the presidential campaign has reduced down to: They now are accusing each other of things that have nothing to do with the economy, that have nothing to do with health care, that have nothing to do with the environment, that have nothing to do with, you know, how we deal with foreign countries," Schwarzenegger said, according to the Associated Press.
Over on The View -- which is quickly devolving from smart, quirky, real gal commentary to a caricature -- Barbara Walters has been likewise pleading for civility, both in the campaign and during her own show's "Hot Topics" discussion.
McCain and Obama are better than the campaigns they're running in these last days of the presidential race. The win-at-all-costs political consultants are doing us no favors by taking their clients' campaigns and running them through the gutter in order to get to the White House. But I suppose, the campaign team that wins in the end will feel as though all the mud-slinging was worth it. For the rest of Americans who are witnessing character assassination, smears involving old scandals that have no relevance to voters' lives today or on what kind of job either man will do in office, they are the ones who lose.

To Remember the Missing and the Murdered (and to Inspire New Music), a Marathon of One
In British Columbia, they call it the Highway of Tears. A 450-mile stretch of road along the Trans-Canada Highway has claimed the lives of dozens of young women, many of them indigenous, who have disappeared on this road or were murdered nearby. Across Canada, the numbers of missing and murdered indigenous young women over the last several decades is exponentially higher, with estimates as high as 4,000. It was the type of news that was hard to ignore in Manitoba, where Tracie Léost, the featured subject of a new video for Cass McCombs's "Run Sister Run" quickly became outraged.
Watch an exclusive video premiere for Cass McCombs's "Run Sister Run."
"Every second day it seemed like there was another story about a young First Nations female who had gone missing or murdered," Léost remembered recently by phone from Winnipeg, where she is now studying social work at the University of Regina. "And our prime minister at the time, Stephen Harper, denied that there needed to be an open inquiry into it. I kept bringing it up to my indigenous studies teacher until finally he said to me, 'If you want to see changes, why don't you do something about it?' "
And so, in August 2015, Léost, a track and field athlete, set out on a four-day solo journey on foot, covering 115 kilometers in a solo run to raise awareness about what she viewed as an unsettling epidemic. She mapped out a route from Oak Point, Manitoba, to Winnipeg—places familiar to her. Growing up, going to visit her grandparents, "I'd driven down the same boring old Highway 6 my whole life," she said. But she also chose the route, along dirt roads, through farmland, and along lake shores, for more sobering reasons. "If I was ever to become a statistic myself," she explains in a mini documentary about the making of the video, "I would be remembered along these routes."
That connection struck a chord with Rachael Pony Cassells, a photographer who had recently completed a project making portraits of mothers of missing women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, and somewhere along the way had picked up some news accounts of Léost. "I don't remember how I heard of Tracie's run, but I had some awareness of it in the back of my mind," she said recently by phone from Los Angeles. Cassells often collaborates with Cass McCombs, the mercurial musician whose songs span the gamut from psychedelic to folk, punk, and alt country, and who tours with John Cale as well as the Meat Puppets. When McCombs asked her to make a video for his latest album, Mangy Love, the memory of Léost's run suddenly emerged.
"I was thinking of film and I was drawing a blank on images of strong women running in films," Cassells said. "All my immediate thoughts were of women being chased." Léost's run, traveling past memorial bouquets, and dresses hung up to commemorate the missing women, was a way of reclaiming power. "Women running in public space is an act of defiance," Cassells said.
"My running shoes became my getaway," said Léost, who started training in childhood and progressed to 5Ks, 10Ks, half-marathons. "On a crappy day, I'd just go running. I liked the aspect of being free."
There perhaps could be no more literal interpretation of a song with a driving, insistent beat and the chorus "Run sister run" than Léost, in her plain white T-shirt, shorts, and moccasins re-creating her extended trek. But McCombs, who tends to avoid interviews and prefers to remain in the shadows, loved the idea of Léost's story taking center stage. He appears only briefly in the video himself, in a filmy overlay.
The video itself turned out to be a sweet, homegrown affair—Cassells stayed with Léost's family, enlisting them as her willing production crew. "Tracie's grandfather made a Steadicam out of a couple of hay bales and a blanket; her mom was driving the truck so we could film," she said. On the first day of the original run, after 20 kilometers, "it felt like I was walking on nails," Léost remembered. "My feet were covered in blisters and so swollen I couldn't put my sneakers back on." Her mother makes moccasins; on the second day, despite the beating her hips would take, she ran in a beloved pair embroidered with an eagle feather that she wears everywhere, even to ceremonies.
With stops for chiropractor visits, Léost at last completed her run in four days in Winnipeg, joined, in the last stretch, by 10 bike riders and two other runners. "I was running through the north end, which we say has more 'activity'—drugs, prostitution," said Léost. "And that day we received the worst rainstorm, just an absolute downpour, the kind of rain that just pelts your skin." Her guide car turned on emergency blinkers to steer her through the storm; people taking shelter in building entranceways and under street signs cheered. She raised more than $6,000 for the Families First Foundation, which helps the families of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. And nearly a year later, newly elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opened the long-awaited public inquiry Léost had been running for all along.
"I knew I was putting myself through absolute hell, but I could feel the souls of the women alongside me," Léost said. "I felt stronger because of their spirit. I had to be a voice for them."

Mission and History
In 1967, a group of Wilson, North Carolina parents assembled and discussed the prospect of opening a new independent school in Wilson. Forty students, representing twenty-nine families, were enrolled at Greenfield Academy in the fall of 1969, with its first Headmaster John Hughes.
Within the next two years, Greenfield Academy became a kindergarten through grade twelve school, and in June 1972 the school hired its second Headmaster, Dr. George H. Bell.
During the early years of Dr. Bell's eleven-year tenure, Greenfield Academy changed its name to Greenfield School. In 1973, the first class of seniors graduated. A new library was built in 1973, and a gymnasium was constructed in 1974. In May 1975, Greenfield was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. During the next eight years, enrollment climbed to 300 students. Tennis courts and soccer fields were added, and the school gained local and state acclaim for its strong academics and accomplished soccer teams. Dr. Bell resigned in 1983, and Jeffrey Thompson became Greenfield's third Headmaster. During the next four years, a preschool program was added.
In 1987, Mr. Thompson resigned, and Mrs. Janet Beaman, a teacher at Greenfield School for fifteen years and Assistant Headmaster for nine years, was appointed as Greenfield's fourth Headmaster. Greenfield School opened that fall with an expanded preschool that included a program designed for two-year-olds. Greenfield School became a school, which values the continuation of education spanning sixteen years in the life of a child.
During the 1995-96 school year, through the generosity of the family and friends of Greenfield, major campus renovations were completed, including the Skinner Technology Center, which houses four science labs and three computer labs.
The 2010-11 school year marked several major milestones in the history of the school. Janet Beaman, after twenty-four years as Headmaster and thirty-nine total years of service to Greenfield, retired at the end of the school year. After a nationwide search, Dr. Vincent Janney, formerly of The Peck School in Morristown, New Jersey, was unanimously voted by the Board of Trustees to become the school's next headmaster. In addition, Greenfield School acquired an additional 41 acres adjacent to the existing property for future expansion.
The 2012-13 school year brought about the building completion of a new cafeteria, which is the first new building on campus since 1996.

Friesheim You've seen before, Now they are joined by Friesland, Which I think look better simply for the fact they aren't white, much easier to work with the blue and red.
So I had to diffrent sources for Friesland, one said dark blue and red, one said sky blue and red. I decided to do light blue but not quite sky blue. Mostly because I've had this blue triad a long while and never used it propperly. The color is actualy Napoleoinc Prussian Gun carrage blue. So these are painted in gun carrage blue.... Poor bastards, someone might try and fit a 12pdr on their heads.
I'm probebly taking a painting brake, partly as I'm out of figures I want to paint, and party as I'm out of primer and my main brush died. AND I want to play some computergames ect, I've been is sutch a grove painting I didn't want to play that many games. So I'll Take a break.

the current order requires voip companies to provide a letter within 120 days stating that they have complied with the order. in the interim, voip providers will be required to notify customers of the e911 capabilities and limitations of their service. in order to assist voip companies in complying with the order, the fcc has also required incumbent lecs to provide access to their e911 networks.
read more from the fcc website.
brian's opinion
it only makes sense to put voip companies at the same level of responsibility as traditional phone services when it comes to being able to execute a 911 call. it�s something most of us don�t think about until we are in a situation where we have to make a call in an emergency. within the last year i had to make such a call after witnessing a bad car wreck right in front of me. i couldn�t have imagined getting a recording instead of an emergency operator.
even the slightest chance that a person calling 911 gets a recorded message instead of an operator is unacceptable. typically, a 911 can be a life or death situation. it would be pretty stupid for someone to have to live with the thought that they were unable to save the life of a loved one simply because they made the choice to get their phone service through a voip provider. thanks to the fcc, voip customers won�t have to be concerned with calling 911 in the future.

|it's about time (2:07pm est fri may 20 2005)
that this has been done. i know of several people who have switched over to voip completely, without realizing that they didn't have access to 911. kind of scary when you think about it. so finally a good form of regulation……

|i can't believe that voip didn't have this (2:36pm est fri may 20 2005)
how irresponsible is that…
this shouldn't be something the fcc should have to mandate for them. kind of like putting seat restraints in automobiles, it's just common sense that a majority of people are going to want that feature wethere it's required by law or not… – by wtf???

my cable modem is on a ups so if i shut down my computer i still have internet access for 6 hours. if the server is on then i only get an hour – such are trade-offs. anyways – i think perhaps a ups for all voip systems should be required. – by onefinger
|yet (4:15pm est fri may 20 2005)
they went, you know that thing this first them we should think it started offering voip concerning and is something. if i need that, when anyone chooses the telephone, that, you think they should request help. otherwise when it is disaster, there is a result – by lan
|works for me… (4:29pm est fri may 20 2005)
i have vonage and they already have the ability to enter information in for e911 on the online control panel… just hook up a ups like onefinger was talkin about and you've got phone for quite awhile when the power goes off. – by merak
|cell phone (4:59pm est fri may 20 2005)
when the truck hit the telephone pole near my house (for the third time in two years–why don't they move the @#^%& pole???) electricity and phone service went out.
voip would have been out too–a ups wouldn't have been much help. a cell phone makes a nice backup.
vonage is changing to make it a requirement to enter e911 info in order for it to work. also, in some parts of the country vonage doesn't have access to the local e911 service. they are going to shell some bucks to get access from the local phone companies.
in fact some people have suggested that this move was inspired the wired phone companies to get rid of many of the fly-by-night voip companies (and to get some revenue from the more established voips). – by grapevine

|911 works best with landlines (10:41pm est fri may 20 2005)
it seems that people are starting to drop traditional landlines in favor of just using the cell phone or voip. it should be noted that when you are in a real emergency, dialing 911 from a landline home phone, or even a pay phone, will get you help much faster since the calls are routed to the closest emergency service. here in california, a cell phone 911 call, even if made at a house, will route you to the highway patrol, not your local police, who would be able to bring their units on scene much faster. since a single voip number can be used anywhere, it would be difficult to have it dial 911 and expect the closest emergency service to pick up the call. – by tri-state trash

|911 before we all die? (10:56am est sat may 21 2005)
this is stupid, there is absolutely no reason for this. it is like they want to know everyone who is using voip to get out of taxes placed on the pots. they have already made it a law that any cell phone has the ability to be triangulated immediately. that is if you make a 911 call they know exactly where you are immediately. responsibility aside, this issue has nothing to do with personal safety. giving up this kind of information is not good and it will cause this to be just as restricted and taxed as pots. not only that but since voip has no real ability to track where the call came from people can and will enter erroneous information. on top of that once this information is available who gets it? where is it going to be stored, accessed, and how will it integrate with 911? or will you just be sol if the line you are using has the incorrect info in it? this wouldn't even be an issue if pots where not so heavly taxed. to have basic phone service at my house costs 50$ a month this is with nothing but the line in. for the same amount i can get a cell phone with caller id, voice mail, unlimited night and weekends, 500 anytime minutes…. it is no wonder the pots is dying. and for everyone enamored by 911, does anyone remember what it was like before 911? was it chaos? no, but everyone used to post the local emergency numbers on the phone. sure 911 makes it easier, but it is not necessary. – by thedude
|gps (12:16pm est sun may 22 2005)
they do it with cell phones all they have to do is put a small gps device in the voip device that transmits long and lat to a server and converts to an address when im on the freeway and dial 911 they know exactly where i am and my cell was free so i imagine the technoligy isnt that expensive – by god
|thank you (2:48pm est sun may 22 2005)
thank you for dailing 911. this recorded message will help you thru your emergency situation
if you are unconcious press 1
if you are bleeding profusly press 2
if your house is being invaded press 3

what do the people with out phones do?
how come the pd dept isn't based in the projects the help assist those people?
911 is the joke in your town.
you should have a gps reciever instead. then you can run. and while your at it put a camera on it too to record possible assalents.
the 911 system is too slow any ways.

on a side note to those about concerns for power/isp outages…
vonage offers a free service that allows all phone calls to be routed to another # (cell, etc) when there is an isp/power outage. – by beeble
