The "+ More"
Can we talk TV for a minute? Specifically, Mad Men? Who watches? I finished the first season last weekend and feel very 'meh' about it. The IMDB ratings are high and it wins awards every time I turn around, so part of me is saying, "Hang on and give it a little more time." But the other part of me knows that if I cross into season 2, I am committed until the end. Does it get better? Opinions appreciated.

The invention of various electronic equipment has affected the world significantly and they have changed or continue to change our lifestyle on a daily basis. Today, electricity has penetrated in every sphere of life and it would be very difficult for us to survive or to accomplish our day-to-day activities without the same. The growth and amelioration in the field of electrical engineering has certainly created some unfathomable opportunities for professionals who are related to this field. That's why students demonstrate interest towards pursuing electrical engineering for a bright future. After their admission to HNC Electrical Engineering, they need HNC Electrical Engineering Assignment Helpfrom expert academic writers who will help them to complete their assignment. Going forward, we would throw light on the fact that why these students need HNC Electrical Engineering Assignment Help from expert writers and tutors.
As we understand, Electrical engineering is one of the most demanding and core engineering disciplines along with computers, mechanical and civil. Basically, it deals with the design and implementation of various systems, which are related to electricity generation, electronics, and computer systems. Because of the extensive use of computers and electrical systems, electrical engineers often need to install and maintain different electrical equipment and instrumentation in commercial and personal vehicles and buildings.
This discipline is ideal for those who display passion towards electrical circuit designs and want to learn what goes behind. However, students need to put some arduous labour and need to study a lot of theoretical and numerical concepts to develop their knowledge in the domain.
The HNC course provides students fundamental concepts on electrical circuitry, highlights analytical methodologies, and clarifies several electrical and electronic principles. This allows establishing a base for further courses in the same direction.
Electrical engineering has many sub-disciplines and they are power, electronics, telecommunications, computer and network, software and control.
The subject offers future benefits like:
Huge money: once you complete your HNC Electrical Engineering course, you will be rewarded with higher salaries. There are many multinational companies that recruit electrical engineers with lucrative packages.

Making a better world: Electrical engineers are changing our lives daily with the invention of various electrical equipment. With their skills and inventions, electrical engineers are shaping our world in a new way.
These days' students are taking electrical engineering courses from various colleges or universities as they are influenced by the opportunities of this particular course. As mentioned above, since they are aware of the immense competition, they want to score the top grades and seek professional assistance with their assignments. This is because:
Electrical engineering is that particular field of engineering which focuses on manufacturing, applying and managing several devices with the help of electrical power. If you want to become a deft electrical engineer, then you must have comprehensive knowledge of the following subjects.
Electrical engineering is basically the integration of knowledge of generation, transmission, distribution, implementation, and control of electricity. Electrical engineering starts with the activity of kindling electric power through generators. Electricity which is generated by the generators works through oil, gas or atomic energy. Then this electricity is supplied to various towns, cities, villages and suburb areas for domestic and commercial consumption. Different heavy equipment and instruments are required to complete distribution and transmission process.
So, some of the essential jobs of electrical engineers are:

2015's referendum has made marriage possible for thousands of gay and lesbian people but it's unlikely that there will be a surge of same-sex marriages in Clare in 2016. Lahinch hotelier Michael Vaughan said, "I think there's certainly going to be an uptake but I would say it's something that's going to build slowly. So far, our experience is that a lot of people are seeking small intimate venues, unusual venues as well." Mr Vaughan added, "I have colleagues who have gone into the market, not so much in Clare yet, but I know it's something that will certainly add to the business of hotels. Personally speaking, I don't think it'll be a huge boom immediately; colleagues haven't noticed that as yet." Kilrush man Brian Sheehan, executive director of the Gay and Lesbian Equality Network (GLEN), said there are reasons why there won't be lots of gay couples marrying immediately.

Ennis councillors refuse to back NY parade boycott
By Dan Danaher ENNIS town councillors have rejected a proposed boycott by their mayor of the New York St Patrick's Day Parade as show of solidarity to gay rights groups. Amid heated exchanges between rival town councillors, Ennis Town Council members voted by seven votes to two for deputy mayor, Councillor Brian Meaney to accept an official invitation to march in the New York parade. Mayor Blasio has decided not to march in his own city parade over the long standing exclusion of American gay and lesbians publicly express their sexual orientation under a banner. Despite passionate appeals from Councillor Paul O'Shea and Councillor Johnny Flynn to support this boycott, other members steadfastly refused to support the right of the town mayor to attend the parade as first citizen of Ennis. Participation in the parade was supported by Ennis mayor, Mary Coote-Ryan, Brian Meaney, Michael Guilfoyle, Peter Considine, Frankie Neylon, Mary Howard and Tommy Brennan. It was opposed by Councillor …Read More »
Mayor defends NY parade decision
MAYOR of Clare Joe Arkins is standing by his decision to participate in the New York St Patrick's Day Parade, despite a call to follow the boycott stance taken by New York Mayor, Bill de Blasio in support of gay rights groups.

I've done this style of post a couple times (you can check previous ones out HERE) but I really like them! It's a fun quick post, but it still gives a lot of fun information… probably even a bit more than my rambling novel posts haha! Anyway, it's also a great post format for people who want to start a blog but don't know what to write about, I recommend giving it a try!
Reading… The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for fun. Oroonoko, Romeo & Juliet, and Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) for school.
Playing… Sims! You have not heard me talk passionately about something unless you've witnessed me go on about my Sims 2 family and it's 300+ members. Right now I'm playing the Dreamer household, with Vic (the child of Cassandra Goth and Darren Dreamer) who is married to Summer (the granddaughter of my RL brother's Simself… he picked her name and she's apparently named after some Pokemon character?). They had twin sons Winter (who lives in a different household) and August (they're named after the season and the month haha). August is married to Rhiannon (which is just one of my favourite girl names so no other explanation there haha) who is the great-granddaughter of Victor and Elizabeth Aspir (Pauline's great-niece)… all the descendants of the Aspirs have these AMAZING facial features especially their eyes haha. August and Rhiannon have a daughter named Abigail based off of Princess Abigail from Once Upon a Time (since August was the dad I made the family naming theme be OUAT characters). Right now I'm going through all the households and preparing the teenagers for university (getting them each a minimum of four scholarships and to the point where I get the pop up saying that they'll become an adult in a couple days so they should go to University to have the young adult experience). Abigail has the Scholar's Grant, the Communications Fellowship and the Genius Grant but she JUST became a teenager so she's got a ways to go haha. I know. I have a problem. Just smile and nod and back away. It's not contagious.
Watching… X-Files. Holy smokes, this show has ruined my life while simultaneously given my life meaning. Last night I watched the episode that was apparently so scary that it never played as a rerun after it's original airing because so many people wrote in saying how messed up and scary it was. It was truly a thing of beauty (a very messed up, grotesque beauty albeit).
Trying… to decide if I should wear a dress to school tomorrow.
Cooking… up my outfit plans for the week.
Eating… Twizzlers. My one true vice.
Drinking… water and green tea.
Calling… …the shots… on Sims… This one is always hard because I rarely talk on the phone haha.
Texting… about Gilmore Girls haha.
Pinning… things onto my quote boards. I decided to use old stud earrings as push pins haha.
Tweeting… mostly reactions to X-files haha. I put a couple of my tweets on tumblr and they got a few hundred notes so that was exciting!
Loving… that I finally perfected the whole curling-my-hair-with-a-straightener thing. It was a process.
Hating… The heat.
Thinking… I should find some dinner.
Feeling… Glad tomorrow is Wednesday.
Hoping (for)… success on my hunt for dinner.
Listening (to)… My iPod on shuffle. I started listening to all my songs in alphabetical order in January and JUST finished at the beginning of June.
Celebrating… that I did my hair, makeup, and wore a dress to school today and got lots of complements! 🙂
Smelling… this Saje candle I'm burning… for a candle that comes from such strong smelling store it doesn't smell very potent haha.
Ordering… Bard on the Beach tickets.
Thanking… people who have been sending me nice personal messages on tumblr!
Considering… if I should attempt Smashbooking.
Starting… to fill in my planner for this week. I actually have social plans every day which is unheard of for me haha.
Finishing… the 28 day IWP organization challenge. It has taken me much more than 28 days haha but I've made some really impressive progress!
Thanks so much for reading this post (and sorry about the Sims thing)!

Moments That Make The Knees Shake
Over the course of a person's life, they reach numerous crossroads where they have to make a leap of faith and take on a challenge that simply scares you to death.

Who is Santri?
Santri is a term used to refer to someone who studies Islamic religious education in islamic boarding schools which called as "Pesantren". Santri usually stay in islamic boarding school until their education is finished, usually six years or more. According to the language, the term santri comes from Sanskrit, "shastri" which has the same root word as the "literary" or "literate people" word which means scripture, religion and knowledge. A santri serving in a pesantren, by pesantren caregivers called "Kyai", is rewarded in the form of knowledge about Islam, starting from the elementary, middle and high levels.
According to Indonesian Dictionary, santri are people who study Islam; people who worship earnestly; godly people.
KH Mustofa Bisri (Gus Mus) has six definitions of the meaning of a santri as follows:
- Santri is a student of a kiai who is educated with compassion to be a strong faith to Islam (who does not falter in faith by association, interests, and differences).
- Santri is a group that loves their country, while respecting their teachers and parents even though both of their parents are die.
- Santri are people who love their homeland (where they are born, breathe, and prostrate on it) and respect to their tradition and culture. Who respect to teachers and parents even though both of them are die.
- Santri is a group of people who have affection for fellow human beings and are very grateful.
- Santri is a person who loves fellow servants of God; who love science and knowledge and never stop to learn; Who regards religion as a gift and as a medium to get the pleasure of God. Santri is a grateful servant.
A researcher named Johns said that the word santri came from Tamil language and had the meaning of the teacher reciting. While a researcher named CC. Berg said that the word santri came from Indian "Shastri" which means an expert on Hindu scriptures. This opinion is also supported by A. Steenbrink who consider that education in Islamic boarding schools is similar to Indian Hindu education. Some Indonesian people said that the word santri came from Javanese language "Cantrik" which mean someone who always loyal to follow his teacher and participate wherever the teacher go.
Nurcholish Madjid said that the history of the term "Santri" can be seen from two opinions:
The opinion that says "Santri" comes from the word "sastri", a Sanskrit word which means literacy. This opinion, according to Nurcholish Madjid, is based on a literary class of santri for Javanese who try to study Islamic religion through Arabic books.
Opinion that said the term santri actually came from Javanese, from the word "cantrik" means someone who always follows a teacher where the teacher goes and settles.

Explanation of Plato's Analogies of the Sun, Line and Cave
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Please help me with a complete and concise explanation of Plato's Theory of the forms and the myths relating to the Forms, including discussions of the Sun, the Line and the Cave.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com October 10, 2019, 5:38 am ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
Plato assumed that knowledge was possible and attempted to explain and answer the aforementioned questions concerning knowledge- its nature and the extent to which a human can know- with his theory of the Forms and the analogies of the Sun, Divided Line and the Cave. Plato was a writer and a teacher. His writings are in the form of dialogues, with Socrates as the principal speaker. The Allegories of the Sun, Divided Line and the Cave describe symbolically the dilemma in which humans find themselves and offers a remedy. The Allegories offer most of Plato's major philosophical assumptions: his belief that the world revealed by our senses is not the real world but only a copy of it. He claimed that the real world can only be apprehended intellectually and through education.
Plato never fully laid out his Theory of the Forms in any one dialogue and therefore, any explanation of the theory involves compiling pieces of the theory as they appear in Plato's writings. All the following excerpts regarding the Forms are from the dialogues of Plato and have been taken from the collected works translated by Benjamin Jowett, 3rd Edition 1892. These excerpts are meant to provide a reference to Plato's dialogues where the Forms are discussed.
The theory of the Forms suggests that there exists a level of reality or realm that is populated by the ideal forms of all things and concepts. Therefore, a Form exists for things like cars or stones and even concepts like beauty and justice. The Forms are eternal and unchallengeable. They enter into a partnership with the changeable matter, in order to produce the objects and examples of concepts that we perceive in the sensible world.
Plato maintained that the forms are invisible to the eye, but that our souls have seen them in the eternal realm prior to their incarnation into a physical body. He said that the soul retains a memory of the Forms that is not accessible to the conscious mind. Plato argued that Philosophers can achieve a state of perceiving the Forms directly by participating in dialectic. He said that through dialectic, ...
Solution Summary
An explanation of Plato's analogies of the Sun, Line and Cave is determined.

The Betsie River was entered at a public access point just east of the bridge that carries US 31 and ended at the River Road public access point. The trip took 2 3/4 hours and was very enjoyable. The Betsie is not a difficult river but there are occasional strainers that require precise handling. This river is similar to the nearby upper Platte River, but the scenery is more wild with fewer houses along the way. There was a large tree that completely blocked the river, requiring a 20' portage on the left shore. Unfortunately, my companion got 30 mosquito bites during the brief time on shore, so take along the Deep Woods Off.
We used our own kayaks, but this trip can also be set up through local companies such as Crystal Lake Adventure Sports in Beulah and Vacation Campground at the US 31 bridge.
The stretch of US 31 that is shared with M 115 just south of Benzonia will get you there.

FULHAM'S Europa League dreams hang on a knife edge after Alexander Madlung's late goal gave Wolfsburg a lifeline to take into next week's second leg.
Second-half strikes from Bobby Zamora and Damien Duff looked like giving Roy Hodgson's men a healthy 2-0 lead to take to Germany, only for Madlung to pounce late on.
It took 20 minutes for either side to register a serious effort on goal, with Christian Gentner having a long-range shot deflected into the arms of Mark Schwarzer, while at the other end, Diego Benaglio almost spilled Zoltan Gera's drive.
Fulham grew stronger as the half went on, Clint Dempsey stung the hands of Benaglio, Duff had an effort saved and Dickson Etuhu flashed a header wide.
The Whites were unlucky not to go into half-time in the lead, but it was Wolfsburg who squandered a golden chance to break the deadlock after the interval.
Marcel Schafer's cross evaded Brede Hangeland , however Edi Dzeko somehow headed wide from six yards when it seemed easier to score.
But Zamora's superb strike just before the hour mark edged Fulham in front.
The former Spurs forward picked up the ball 25-yards from goal, stepped inside his marker and curled an unstoppable effort into the bottom left-hand corner.
And Duff sent the Craven Cottage faithful into dreamland minutes later.
Paul Konchesky's cross found Zamora, and he put the ball on a plate for Duff to slot home a second.
Wolfsburg pushed for a vital away goal, and they found it 90 seconds from time when Madlung stooped to head past Schwarzer from six yards to leave the tie in the balance.

The fungus Ganoderma lucidum (known as Reishi in Japan and Ling-Zhi in China) can be a natural solution to modern health problems, such as chronic degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, among others, the majority being the result of modern lifestyle. Also our current society is facing a serious threat of pollution and its pollutants, which enter our body through food and the environment to which we are exposed every day. The following videos show a study that relates consumption of Ganoderma lucidum and the metabolic syndrome, University of the West of Sydney Australia. Scientists based their study on evidences that possesses the Ganoderma lucidum in helping to control diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, heart disease and obesity. Researchers hope that Ganoderma lucidum can help to reduce the prevalence of this disease in the Australian population and generate more scientific evidence and contribute to dispose of skepticism with regard to use of this provided food for traditional medicine. Now science is providing tests that confirm the effects that had already been attributed to Ganoderma lucidum more than 4000 years ago.

The Best Diet To Lose Weight
The DASH diet, originally designed to control hypertension, was hailed as the best diet for 2012, while the Weight Watchers diet was chosen as the best to lose weight, according to the ranking carried out by U.S. News and World Report. The ranking was done by a group of 22 expert nutritionists, specialists in diabetes, heart health, weight loss and human behavior. 25 Different diets were evaluated, and each received a specific rating, according to their benefits. In the end, were drawn up the list of the top ten in critical areas: the focus to change the quality of the food, those focusing on weight loss or to prevent or modify medical conditions such as diabetes. 10 foods that can not miss in your diet as result of this analysis, the best diet to lose weight DASH won first place as the best of diets, considering its benefits for health and the ease with which you can follow. This diet is based on high consumption of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fiber and a moderate consumption of dairy products and animal protein.
The DASH system is very human: it is not demanding, it is easy to follow, just ask people to eat lots of vegetables and fruits, and few foods of animal origin. I think it is a great diet, said Dr. Keith Ayoob, of the Albert Einstein College of medicine. In addition, the benefits of DASH go far beyond control and prevent hypertension, it is useful to lower cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of disease cardiaovasculares, and even seriviria for the prevention and control of diabetes. However, they clarified, would not be the most effective if your purpose is to lose weight. When experts focused on losing pounds, diets to lose weight DASH was placed in ninth place, being the first post for the Weight Watchers diet. Weight Watchers is a company dedicated to creating food plans. Their diet is based on a comprehensive approach to the food. For Karen Miller-Kovach, Chief of the Office of science of Weight Watchers International, what is sought is to encourage intelligent consumption, that people learn to eat and handle food in their daily lives. In general, as any diet saludble, the regime of Weight Watchers suggests a high consumption of fruits, vegetables and fiber, moderate consumption of fats and animal proteins, and few refined foods. According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, this diet would be effective to lose weight and maintain the loss for up to five years after the program finished.

Due to popular demand we now have tamper proof security labels. These types of labels are often used on high value goods to deter thieves, or for seals on product packaging. As you can see from the images above, the labels work by either disintegrating when peeled, or by leaving behind fragments of foil, making it evident that the sticker has been tampered with. This makes them a perfect solution for anti-counterfeit applications. We currently have two types of security label; our Matt White Tamper Proof Paper labels.
Matt White Tamper Proof Labels
The matt white labels have permanent adhesive and work by tearing and leaving behind part of the paper when peeled, making them impossible to reapply. These labels are ideal for sealing jars and boxes of perishables, or for barcodes and quality control labels, as it is immediately obvious that they have been tampered with.
Both of these label types can be printed through heavy duty laser printers and can be used for various indoor applications. As we cut all of our labels to order, you can simply select the shape and size you require as normal from the website. Once you have done this, you will find both of these materials in the material list on the next page. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further information, or if you wish to order some of these security labels today.

Elephant spotting in Amboseli National Park
Part of the southern Savannahs, Amboseli National Park is famous for its large herds of elephants roaming through the swampy areas. Due to great conservation work, the herds can roam around pretty free from poachers, hence their giant tusks.
A day in Amboseli National Park
Amboseli is a medium-sized park, famous for its herds of elephants, dramatic views over Mount Kilimanjaro, and generally captivating landscapes. Its patchwork of dusty plains and marshlands forms the heart of a wide ecosystem covering the surrounding Maasai lands.
Early morning is the best chance of some superb Kilimajaro views. If you are going for a game drive, it is well advised to take a ranger with you. He knows where the wildlife and predators are having breakfast. For elephants you do not need a ranger to spot them, there are plenty around, and they are pretty hard to miss.
In the rainy season, the wildlife can roam around this vast ecosystem beyond Amboseli National Park, which is not fenced. In the dry season, the wildlife tends to concentrate in the park. Large herbivores such as elephants, wildebeests, zebra and gazelle are easily spotted here. Predators such as lions, cheetahs and hyenas are also regularly spotted, but chances increase when you go with an experienced guide in your car.
Self-drive Amboseli National Park
- Take the C102 from Emali to the Iremito gate, as it has some superb tarmac.
- Amboseli National Park is easy to navigate as almost every junction is signposted.
- The main road can be a bit rutted from time to time, don't overspeed.
Suggestions for accommodation in Amboseli National Park
Near Amboseli National Park, outside the gates, you can find several options for camping. Just inside the park we can recommend staying at KWS campsite, for $30 per night. For some more suggestions, check our accommodations page here.

Rye and Birdseed Bread
Cynthia over at *Solitary Cook first posted this recipe calling it Gold Nugget bread. I tasted it when I was down in *Oldfarm and was really impressed. It was nutty and delicious and so so light. Margaret uses Spelt flour. So of course I just had to have a go and waited (impatiently) for her to convert the American measurements. I just can't handle cups, sticks etc. I finally got the converted recipe and decided to have a go in the middle of watching the semi-final of the Six Nations. So basically in between terrorising the dogs screaming at Bod and the boys, I was running in and out trying to make the bread. Of course it was a bit of a flop (unlike the match thankfully.)
I tried it again a few times and to be honest I couldn't get it right at all. The spelt just didn't seem to rise well. Finally I decided to have one last go using wheat flour with added rye flour and a sourdough starter. And hey voila!
Rye and Birdseed Bread Recipe
150g of an active sourdough starter (my starter is quite liquid – 50:50 flour to water)
100g rye flour
150g water
Mix the above together and put in a bowl covered with cling film. Leave overnight or at least all day. If it looks like it's drying out pour a small amount of water over surface and swirl it to cover the surface. You need to prevent a crust forming.
|Active sponge next morning
Next day when it's all bubbly and foaming pour it into your mixing bowl. This is your sponge. Add
300g strong bread flour
10g salt
2 tablespoons of milled linseed also called flaxseed
2 tablespoons millet
2 tablespoons brown linseed/flaxseed
100ml water (put in a jug and add slowly)
Add all the dry ingredients above to your sponge. Turn on your mixer and set to lowest speed. Begin to mix and slowly add about half the water. Leave to mix for 15 minutes. Then turn off mixer and leave dough to stand for another 15-20 minutes. Start mixer again and add the remainder of the water slowly. Turn the mixer on to a medium speed for 10 minutes. If it is jumping about stand beside it and hold it. Do not worry about the dough being wet. Sourdough needs a wet dough. Add more water if necessary.
Test dough by pulling a piece out and stretch it. It should pull thin and not tear. If it tears continue to mix on a low speed for another 5 minutes and a high speed for 2 minutes.
Remove and transfer to a bowl sprinkled with flour in base. Rub surface of the dough with some sunflower oil and cover with cling film. Leave for 5-6 hours or in winter I leave over night to prove. The longer it proves the more the natural yeasts and the lactic acid begins to break down the wheat proteins to make the bread more digestible and to give the lovely sour flavours.
|Dough left to prove
Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and gently gather it and fold it into the shape you want to bake it in. Place it on a baking sheet or a tin and rub water over the surface to prevent a crust forming. Sprinkle with some flax and millet and leave to prove for another 3-4 hours.
|After 3 hours
|Turned out after 5 hours for reshaping
|Second proving
I have a steam function in my oven. I put it in the oven with steam at 40C for 15 minutes then turn the oven up to 220C with steam for about 25 minutes, turn the steam off and lower the oven to 200C for another 15-20 minutes or until the base sounds hollow when tapped gently. Sometimes I remove the bread from the tin and turn it upside down directly onto oven shelf for the last few minutes.
Cool on a wire rack.
The rye gives this bread a dense texture but this works really well with the sour, nutty and earthy flavours. If you prefer a lighter bread replace the rye with all wheat flour.

text: Confessions of a Movie HunterBy Mike WhiteConfessions of a Movie Hunter By Mike White. "So, how's the movie hunting going?" That was the question posed in many an email and missive since the last issue of Cashiers du Cinemart wherein I confessed my obsessive compulsive search for rare films..."So, how's the movie hunting going?" That was the question posed in many an email and missive since the last issue of Cashiers du Cinemart wherein I confessed my obsessive compulsive search for rare films. Without hesitation I can now say that movie hunting/trading is a sickness. My ailment remains writ large across the walls and floor of my basement, lined with videocassettes and DVDs.How did I escape the tyranny of trading? I haven't. Like any addiction, every day brings new temptation to overcome. One day at a time, baby. For a while, I couldn't go online without Googling titles, directors, studios, and stars all with the hope of uncovering a new lead. Each new kernel of information fanned the fires of my desire.I can't point to one particular instance that finally helped me reign in my fixation. It was most likely a combination of things. I finally exhausted my resources. Each new Google would bring up the countless pleading posts I had left on obscure newsgroups. Being confronted with my own mania helped to sober me. Another factor had to be one of my trade partners. While I may have done a good job unearthing obscurities, it was nothing compared to his unsurpassed skills. His ability to put his hands on the rarest films put me to shame.The final piece to the puzzle came in the form of another trader I encountered. He wasn't so much a "trader" as a "hoarder." He promised me the moon, the sun, and the stars, only to give me nothing but grief. Time and again he would claim to possess some of my most sought-after titles only to renege on his promises. I'm ashamed of how many times this occurred. It was only after I began to find these promised titles on my own that I broke free of his tyranny.This newfound liberation had every potential of turning sour. I began to do the things of which he was guilty. I started squirreling away tapes that he wanted, only to carrot them before his eyes. "Sorry, I promised to not trade that with anyone," I would lie. In truth, I would send these prized titles to everyone and their brother with the understanding that they would not make their way to my rival. It wasn't until I had gathered enough of these "fuck you" titles that I began to feel sated. The additional satisfaction I gleaned from the venom-fueled, ranting emails I started to receive from him made it all the sweeter. When he finally sunk to the point where he was threatening to call on INTERPOL to "shut me down," I knew the taste of victory. Yes, I'm a vindictive prick. But, finally, I felt free of the bonds which had held me down for years.I pulled my "trade list" from its usual haven and began to really insist that the only movies I would accept as trade were those titles I actually wanted. This may have incurred the ire of many a fellow trader but it's helped me unearth a few more gems and keep the piles of tapes from overpowering my basement any further. There are times where I'm tempted by the occasional random rarity, certainly. But, again, I work hard each day to cope with the demons that once wholly possessed me.You won't find this issue stuffed to the gills with reviews of these rare films. Any hardcore trader will tell you that they spend all of their time collecting and not watching. I'm trying to get to the point where I can make a dent in the piles of unwatched movies. For the most part, I've sent off the most treasured obscurities to folks who will put them in the hands of reviewers more capable than me, such as Steve Puchalski of my favorite magazine, Shock Cinema. Be sure to check out this wonderful publication to encounter the fruits of my labor. Back to Issue 14

Drawstring Dance Bag: An essential for hauling around dance gear. I love this personalized one from ShopSimpleJoy on Etsy (and your dancer will love it too!). If you need a bigger bag, there are also duffel styles you can personalize.
Water Bottle: Just because it is an important part of dancing doesn't mean that it can't be cute.
This "H TUTU O" water bottle is TOO TOO cute (see what I did there?) It even has a spot to write your dancer's name.
This water bottle has a statement on it that serious dancers will totally agree with. And it is also cute.

Foot and Ankle Hot and Cold Gel Pack This can either be used hot or cold depending on if feet are sore or injured. This would be great to have on hand!
Dancer Gifts to Inspire
Taking Flight biography: Have you heard the story of Michaela DePrince? I first heard about her in the ballet documentary "First Position." She was an orphan born in Sierra Leone, who was tormented because of a skin condition. She saw a picture of an ballet dancer en pointe and knew she wanted to be a dancer. After being adopted by an American couple she was able to pursue her dream of dancing and has accomplished SO much! I love to encourage kids by showing them amazing examples of people with grit. This book would be an inspirational gift for dancers!
Another inspirational dancer is Misty Copeland…she has a book that would be an inspirational read as well!

Hi Tommy, first of all well done mate for what you are doing. I'd just like to say that I worked with dementia patients and absolutely loved them and the challenges of trying to manage their very particularly challenging behaviour but I had to leave because I was worrying about the most difficult residents when I was not there. A lot of the staff were just any joe bloggs who couldn't get a "better" job, they were trained in things like manual handling, hygiene etc but few had any understanding of what it was like to have dementia. One of the carers said to me one day, "how can you get so many of them to do what you want with so little hassle?". I said, "it is necessary to be a bit of an actress, you have to treat each person as an individual, some of the patients need you to be very quiet and patient, some of them need you to be a little more assertive and bossy -as it makes them feel that you know what you are doing and they relax and trust you". There is no training for this type of thing which I think is vital. I think it also helps to know a little about the person you're caring for, what they did for a job etc any trauma's they may have undergone. Some of these people had fascinating stories, if you could find out and it helps to remember that these "patients" are people, who lived, loved and lost like the rest of us!
I think the position of carer should be raised to as generally people view this as menial work and actually it is a very responsible position, looking after people who whatever they've done etc deserve to be cared for with dignity and respect.
A respite patient once commented that he thought we must be very well paid because we were always on the go. I told him that I would get 50p more an hour for sticking chicken's legs up their bums at the local factory!! I joked with him that perhaps if I stuck his legs up his bottom I might get a wage rise.
Anyway good luck and keep up the good work and I hope this spills over to areas outwith Glasgow.
Thank you for leaving a comment at the tommyontour blog. Your comment will be moderated and published very soon.
Tommy's speech, providing a carer's perspective, on the theme of " No – one ever asked " highlighted the transformational impact that ...

What is REACH
On June 1st 2007 the new European REACH regulations have come into effect in phases. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of chemical substances. This is the new European Regulation which replaces the previous rules, such as the environmentally dangerous chemical law of the Netherlands (Wms). The goal of REACH is the protection of people as well as the environment against the dangers of chemicals.
Companies will have the responsibility, on the basis of information on characteristics and use, to expose and map the risks of chemicals. Based on this the necessary measures will need to be taken for the purpose of protection of man and environment.
What is pre-registration
REACH obligates producers and importers of chemicals (>¬ 1 ton/year) to gather information on the physical/chemical, health and environmental characteristics of their chemicals and, based on this information determine how these chemicals can be used in a safe manner. All producers and importers must supply an application dossier to the Agency in which the data and the determinations have been documented. All companies that pre-register a chemical become members of the information-exchange forum for that particular chemical (SIEF = Substance Information Exchange Forum) which is intended to prevent duplicate work performed in testing. The companies are obligated to make the results of animal testing supplied to the SIEF available to other companies in order to keep testing to a minimum. It is also possible to exchange other types of data. Pre-registration can be done up to November 30th.
What is registration
Over a period of 11 years REACH will maintain the registration of some 30.000 chemical substances. For this purpose producers and importers will have to supply the data and characteristics for each chemical substance of which more than 1 ton is produced or imported into the EU. The registering party will also have to identify the applicable risk management measures and inform the users thereof.
The burden of proof will be transferred from the government to the industry. REACH will furthermore make the further evaluation of chemical substances, which may cause any measure of concern, mandatory. The approval system will obligate companies to progressively make a transition to safer alternatives as long as these are already in existence. All requests for approval need to include an analysis of possible alternatives as well as a plan for the replacement of the substance as soon as appropriate alternatives become available. The existing restrictions in relation to usage of the substance continue to be enforced by REACH.
REACH distinguishes four categories within the substance supply chain:
- A producer; an established individual or a corporation which produces a substance in a community.
- An importer; an individual established in the Community or a corporation which is responsible for the importation of a substance.
- A downstream user; each individual established within the Community or a corporation, not being a producer or an importer, which uses the substance for the purpose of industrial activities or occupational activities.
The downstream users can be sub-divided in four sub-categories:
- Formulators: companies which process the substances or preparations into other preparations such as producers of paint, varnish, wax and cleaning products, glue, fire fighting products/retardants and cosmetic products.
- Professional users: companies that offer services such sanitation services, painting, upholsterers, nursing homes & hospitals and road construction companies.
- Industrial users: users of chemical substances and preparations in the industry such as the wood industry, car manufacturing, video-monitor/electronics manufacturing and the agriculture and gardening sector.
- Producers of items & objects: companies producing items which contain chemical substances such as toner cartridges, air fresheners, ink cartridges for pens.
- A distributor; each individual or corporation established in the Community, including retailers that exclusively store and offer the supply of substances or preparations to third parties.
Which categories does LDM have within REACH?
- Importer (substances)
LDM imports substances from beyond the EU borders. REACH is a European regulation; all chemical substances (> 1 ton/year) which are imported from outside the EU, need to be registered. LDM has in the meantime pre-registered all its metals.
- Downstream user; industrial user (auxiliary agents)
LDM imports no auxiliary agents (oils/chemicals) from outside the EU, so therefore LDM does not need to register this.
- Downstream user; formulator (brass metals)
Alloys do not need to be registered as preparations. But the composite metals do need to be registered if the used/imported quantity > 1 ton per year.
LDM will pre-register all the metals which will be utilized. LDM has in the meantime pre-registered all its metals.
- Downstream user; producer of objects (articles)
REACH considers drill steel and billets to be objects. REACH is only applicable in this case if substances of great concern are within the objects which are to be subsequently released. With our drill steel and billets this is not the case.
Within the framework of REACH, LDM has taken all necessary measures in order to continue manufacturing its products safely in the future.
For further questions regarding REACH, get in contact with our sales department.

The Podcasting Kit For SharePoint September Release Is Now Online
Hi All,
The September release of the Podcasting Kit for SharePoint is available for download here. As a Codeplex project it provides a great place to start building out your own Media Knowledge portal that is tailored to your organizational needs. There are many fine Microsoft partners who are already ramped up on the solution and prepared to deliver it and extend and customize it to meet your corporate needs so please contact your local Microsoft resources to find out the best course of action in implementing it.
So just what can you do with the Podcasting Kit for SharePoint? Check this out from the homepage:
"What Can You Do With Podcasting Kit for SharePoint (PKS)?:
- Listen and watch audio/video podcasts, anywhere on your PC or mobile device (Zune, SmartPhone, or any podcasting device)
- Share content by producing your own audio/video podcasts and publish them on PKS on your own.
- Connect and engage with podcasters via your integrated instant messaging program
- Find the most relevant content using the five star rating system, tag cloud, search engine and provide your feedback via comments.
- Get automatic podcast updates by subscribing to RSS feeds fully compatible with Zune and other podcasting devices
- Simple RSS feed based on a defined podcast series
- Simple RSS feed based on a person
- Dynamic RSS feed based on search results (will be implemented later in 2009)
- Play podcasts in real-time using Microsoft® Silverlight™ and progressive playback
- Retrieve instant ROI and metrics with the ability to track the number of podcasts downloaded and/or viewed, instant feedback via rating system and comments, and subscribers via the RSS feed
- Access the richness of SharePoint to extend the solution: workflows, community sub-sites, access rights, editorial and more
- Customize your own PKS User Experience
Now that you know what it does, why would you use it?
If you or your organizations are interested in podcasting, have SharePoint Server 2007 deployed and about to develop your own podcasting solution then look no further. PKS will save you time, reduce your risk of developing a solution ground-up, and of course will save you money. Moreover, you will find on Codeplex a vibrant community of people, organizations and partners who are available to help you, and share with you their own experiences. We strongly recommend that you work with an integration partner for the deployment and maintenance of your own PKS environment. We have listed several partners that we know, but you could just ask your local partner or IT department to help you out.
PKS is not a traditional Microsoft Product in a sense that it is distributed with its source code, using the Public License license and free of charge (if you already own SharePoint Server 2007). It is not supported by Microsoft, and we recommend that you ask your integration partner for such a support. Since the PKS's code is distributed any partner who understands development for SharePoint 2007 will be able to deliver this support for you.
- PKS Detailed Overview Slide Deck
- Silverlight 2.0 Playback Demonstration (1 minute podcast)
- Silverlight 2.0 Reliable Upload Demonstration (2 minutes podcast)
- Filtering in PKS (39 second podcast)
- Change Values in Taxonomy (2 minute podcast)
- Add Your Own Categories (3:25 minute podcast)"
Below I am including the latest release notes, fixes and additional features as well as planned future inclusions. There is also a note about the Podcast libraries I am including that is important to take note of if you are looking to try and go this alone.
The September Beta is Here! (and in September) download it via the release tab.
What's in this release:
- A new version of the MediaEncoder, delivering on-demand and server-side media file re-encoding. The MediaEncoder can be activated via the user interface (in the Podcast Detail page). Clicking the button will add the media to the encoding queue if the item does not already exist. The queue is a newly created "Media Encoder Queue" library in your SharePoint site. Every minute the MediaEncoder will check the queue and start re-encoding any new item using the Microsoft Encoder Expression 2.0 API.
- A new co-podcaster webpart, fixing performance issues found in the August Tech Preview
- An updated podcaster search mechanism that works with the profile out of the box and alternate fields
- A streamlined deployment as well as a better upgrade experience preserving your existing podcast data
- Passed the Security and Threat analysis reviews
- Several bug fixes including:
- Setting the PKS Podcast libraries edit rights to "Only edit your own" works
- IE 8 support
- Several alternate profile fields are now showing properly
- Podcaster detail page shows podcasts where the individual is a co-podcaster
- Podcaster can upload a thumbnail manually... and many more (check out the release notes in the documentation section).
What we could not get in time and is in the queue for our future releases:
- The new download tracker design (HTTP Module) allowing the tracking of RSS downloads.
- An updated version of the CBQ override allowing the display of the number of pages and the total number of podcasts in the view.
- The podcaster rating, cumulative number of downloads and contribution
- The podcaster Zune RSS subscription (this requires a design change: one aspx page per podcaster)
- The podcast search results Zune RSS subscription (this requires a design change)
- A reporting page that will also return download actions
- An updated podcast detail page design that limits the query strings to 256 characters. It recently appeared to us that the current query string is too long and not compatible with the Outlook "hyperlink" feature.
Thanks for your support in PKS and Happy Podcasting!
** Just wanted to also note that this release of the PKS still does not easily support having podcast libraries in sub-sites. We are working on some of the deployment issues for future releases, however the recommendation at this time is to deploy at the root of the web application. There are some manual steps you can try in order to activate the PKS on sub-sites if it is critical.
1. Your subsite should be created using the Publishing site template
2. You will need to create a list called PKS Left Navigation Items using the PKS Left Navigation Items list template
3. You will need to manually recreate all of the pages from the Pages document library in the root site for PKS by manually creating the pages and exporting then importing the web parts
4. You will need to make a few changes in the XSL for the grid view in order to point to the correct podcast and podcaster detail pages
5. You will need to update all of the grid view web content query web parts to point to your new XSL

Every so often, someone comes along who possesses all the great qualities we need of our American icons, and Arthur Ashe was one of those rare few. Ashe had talent, intelligence, grace and a humanitarian streak which endeared him to all. From the humblest of beginnings in Virginia, Ashe rose to become a three-time Grand Slam Champion, forever cementing him as one of the greatest of America's tennis players.
Arthur Robert Ashe Jr was born in Richmond, Virginia on July 5th, 1943, to Mattie and Arthur Senior. Arthur Sr. was a groundskeeper by profession, and when his son was still only four years old, Arthur was employed at Brook Field, which included a number of outdoor tennis courts. It was here that Arthur first learned tennis. The young Ashe had a knack for the game, and was soon noticed by Ronald Charity, one of the nation's top black players, and a part-time instructor. By the time he was just seven, Ronald introduced Ashe to Dr. Walton Johnson, a major amateur tennis coach in Lynchburg, Virginia. Johnson was impressed by the young Ashe, and agreed to take him as a student. His time with Johnson hammered a strong sense of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct into Ashe.
The time with Johnson paid off, and Ashe regularly competed in major amateur tournaments across the nation, earning acclaim as one of America's top young players. At the same time however, Ashe was not allowed to play against white opponents, or use white courts in his home state of Virginia. Highly regarded for his skills, and a straight A student as well, Ashe met with a scout from St. Louis, and was given an offer to play at Sumner High School. Ashe accepted, and took his final year in St. Louis playing in integrated tournaments and playing much stronger opponents. Graduating first in his class, Ashe was given a full academic and athletic scholarship to the University of California, Los Angeles.
At UCLA, Ashe was a standout player, being selected as an All-American for three years, and winning the National Collegiate Athletic Association singles and doubles titles. Most remarkably, he was named to the US Davis Cup team for the first time while still a student, competing for America on the world stage. For these exploits, Ashe was featured in Sports Illustrated for the second time, as a major young student athlete. Ashe graduated with a degree in Business Administration and as a member of Kappa Alpha Psi in 1966, the first member of his father's family to graduate from college. After UCLA, Ashe enlisted in the US Army, serving as First Lieutenant, and being given time to compete in amateur tournaments and in the Davis Cup. In 1968, Ashe won the US Amateur Champions, and also Ashe played in the inaugural united US Open tournament. Ashe won the Open, the first of his Grand Slam wins, but his status as an amateur player at a professional tournament meant his opponent retained the prize money.
Ashe returned to his post at West Point to a standing ovation from his fellow soldiers, and made the decision to leave the army and become a professional tennis player. As a professional, Ashe was ranked as America's top men's singles player, and a regular member of the American Davis Cup squad. In 1969, Ashe was ranked number one in America, and decided to compete for the South African Open. The apartheid policy meant that his visa request was denied by the South African government, but Ashe would continue to attempt to register to play at Johannesburg year after year, and continue to be denied. Until the fall of apartheid, Ashe would continue to call for South Africa's expulsion from the International Lawn Tennis Association.
In 1970, under the blistering sun of Melbourne, Ashe won the Australian Open, the second of his Grand Slam wins. Tennis was becoming popular again, and Ashe was one of its foremost celebrities. He used his celebrity status to advance his interest in social causes, creating organizations such as the National Junior Tennis League, which introduced tennis to underprivileged youth, and the Association of Tennis Professionals, which would give players a voice in how the sport was run. In 1973, under increasing pressure, South Africa granted Ashe his visa, and he won the doubles title at Johannesburg that year. In 1974, Ashe was elected to serve as the ATP President, an honor given to him by his fellow players who recognized his outstanding play, his sportsmanship, and his dedication to social causes. The next year, Ashe would play the match of his life, against Jimmy Connors at the 1975 Wimbledon Men's Singles final.
Ashe and Connors had met previously, and didn't like each other. Connors had made some comments about Ashe's race at a match in South Africa, and Ashe had made a formal complaint. Connors was subsequently banned from the 1974 French Open, the only Grand Slam that he did not win that year, and sued Ashe for his role in the ban. Never before had two more different players competed for a Slam. In 1975, Ashe was already slowing down, as he entered his thirties. Connors was a young, loud power player, who shouted and cursed on court – a sharp contrast to the quiet and composed Ashe. Connors was heavily favored by the oddsmakers, with a speedy, energetic game that was thought to be perfect for the grass courts of Wimbledon, and with the added advantage of being ten years younger than Ashe. Ashe prepared for the game carefully, and on the day of the final, slowed the pace of the game to a crawl by only shooting lobs and drop shots at Connors. Connors's game was contingent on being able to return high speed shots and hitting powerful shots from behind the baseline. With Ashe shooting slow, lazy shots that barely passed the net, Connors was reduced to relying on a strictly average serve, and an unusually weak net game. Arthur Ashe won in four sets, and his win earned him the title of world's number one men's singles player.
Wimbledon was Ashe's last Grand Slam win, as he was entering his mid-thirties and slowing down. In 1979, Ashe underwent quadruple-bypass surgery and retired soon afterwards. He stayed active in his retirement, working as a sports journalist and commentator for ABC Sports. He continued to protest against Apartheid, and was arrested outside the South African embassy in 1985. The same year, he was elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame. In 1986, Ashe began compiling a book detailing Black American athletes. 'A Hard Road To Glory', one of the foremost texts in the field, was completed just two years later. Ashe's life would change again however, in 1988, after he began to feel numbness in one of his hands. He was diagnosed with toxoplasmosis and HIV, received from a blood transfusion in 1983. Ashe kept the condition secret, and continued to work against apartheid, visiting South Africa in 1991 and seeing the end of South African segregation.
In 1992, it was made known to Arthur that the media had become aware of his condition. Ashe held his own press conference announcing his condition, and using his celebrity to raise the profile of the disease, founding the Arthur Ashe Foundation for the Defeat of AIDS, and speaking to the United Nations. Ashe died of AIDS-related pneumonia on February 6th, 1993, leaving behind a wife and young daughter. Ashe was celebrated as one of the foremost athletes and humanitarians of his era. From apartheid, to inner city youth, to Haitian refugees, to his own illness, Ashe tirelessly worked to advance the cause of those less fortunate. Celebrating one of its favorite sons, the city of Richmond erected a statue of the late Ashe in 1996, on Monument Avenue, a formerly segregated memorial park. The US Open would commemorate Ashe in 1997, naming its new center stadium Arthur Ashe Stadium, ensuring that the first champion of the Open era of tennis would not be forgotten. Today, Arthur Ashe Kids Day brings children, athletes and celebrities together on the day before the US Open to encourage community involvement and education through tennis, in memory of one of America's greatest athletes.
