Signed, Sealed & Undelivered

March is here already and, if you're like most people who haven't yet filed their income tax returns, you're likely starting to feel the anticipatory pangs of the impending April 15th deadline. The current bulk of your tax preparation time-for both your personal and business returns-is probably being consumed compiling receipts, totaling expenses, and itemizing deductions. But when the big moment arrives to finalize your tax returns, be sure you don't forget these three simple, but often overlooked, tax-filing basics:
1. Be sure your name and address are correct. The IRS estimates that more than 96,000 taxpayers have yet to receive their 1995 refund checks. Due to returns filed with incorrect names and addresses, the post office was unable to deliver refund checks totaling more than $62 million.
Make sure that your income tax refund doesn't end up in the long and lonely line of homeless checks. If the address label included in your tax return package displays incorrect information, make your corrections directly on the label. If you've changed your name, make sure to notify your Social Security Administration (SSA) office so the name on your tax return matches the name in the SSA's records. If you change your address after you submit your return, be sure to file Form 8822, Change of Address.
2. Be sure your Social Security Number (SSN) is correct. The IRS can no longer accept temporary numbers, "applied for," or any other designations in lieu of the required numbers. If a tax return has a missing or incorrect identification number, the IRS may disallow the related item(s).
If you need to get a SSN, go to any SSA office to file Form SS-5; nonresident and resident aliens who are not eligible for SSNs may use Form W-7 to request Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) from the IRS.
3. Sign your return. Finally, don't forget the easiest of all your tax preparation tasks: putting your signature on your return. If you're due a refund, it cannot be issued unless the return is signed.
Business Bliss
When author Azriela Jaffe's husband quit his job to start his own business, the Jaffes quickly discovered that balancing romance and work was not as easy as it sounded. After a stressful year of "financial worries, lack of sleep, and limited intimate time with her husband," Jaffe learned that planning was the key to keeping both marriage and business intact. With her personal experiences in mind, Honey, I Want to Start My Own Business (HarperBusiness, $23, 800-236-7323) was born.
Written for couples, this book looks at how starting a business, alone or with a spouse, can affect a marriage. By helping them to better define goals and personality traits, it helps couples to "look before they leap" into a business venture. According to Jaffe, this book is for couples "unwilling to sacrifice their marriage or personal well-being to achieve business success."
In Honey, I Want to Start My Own Business, Jaffe shares her wisdom on topics such as "Keeping the Romance Alive," "Win/Win Conflict Resolution," and "Financial and Family Planning." Also included are more than 40 quizzes and exercises designed to clarify goals and encourage discussion between spouses. Finally, there are excerpts from interviews with more than 125 successful entrepreneurial couples. What these couples, and Jaffe herself, recommend most is planning ahead: This forethought is crucial to keeping love alive amidst the stresses of entrepreneurship.-Amy E. Lewis

The World Wide Web, Ms. Stiffler, is a giant embryo that hasn't yet hatched as a major marketing medium. The typical Internet surfer enters the Web with a short attention span-finger poised on the mouse: "Gotta go! Gotta go!"
Therefore, the first rule of successful Internet marketing is: Stop the surfer in his or her tracks.
Having a presence on the Internet is a means, not an end. Surfers won't land on your site-even accidentally-unless you take these three quick steps:
1. Promote your Web site in other media. Ads in media aimed directly at your primary buyers will help bring surfers to your site. Find out which magazines, newspapers or television programs your customers read or watch and advertise your site there.
2. Establish "links" with similar businesses. This means their site will refer to yours and your site will refer to theirs. Don't worry about the competitive nature of links; the operative term here is synergy, as both sites will profit from the links. You might also buy " advertising banners"-these are strips (about an inch high and four or five inches wide) with powerful "teaser" copy that run at the top or bottom of a Web page. When a consumer clicks on one of these banners, they will automatically go to your Web site.
3. Offer a "special." Be sure your Web site offers at least one sensational bargain or deal that is not offered on any of your other advertising materials. Everyday business offers or standard catalog descriptions are too bland to attract business from surfers flitting from one Web site to another. Also, to ensure that your visitors return, change your "teaser copy" and special offer-and be sure to advertise that your "special" changes every week.
Unfortunately, in the very competitive world of online sales and marketing, even a professional-looking Web site, if isolated, is a marketing orphan that will probably starve. Follow these tips to make sure yours flourishes.

Minor Leaguer Tate absent due to personal issue
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Minor League outfielder Donavan Tate, who was given the highest signing bonus in franchise history, will not report to Spring Training due to a personal issue.
Randy Smith, the Padres' vice president of player development and international scouting, confirmed Thursday that Tate -- who received a $6.25 million bonus for being the third overall pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft -- will not be in Minor League camp when it begins Friday.
Smith gave no indication of when Tate would arrive in Peoria, the home of the Padres' Spring Training facility.
Tate has a .241/.358/.320 line over parts of three Minor League seasons, with three home runs and 60 RBIs. Last season, Tate hit a combined .226/.342/.278 in 107 games between two Class A affiliates.
The 22-year-old's career has had plenty of stops and starts since the day he was drafted.
In June 2011, Tate was suspended 50 games for violating Major League Baseball's drug prevention and treatment program after testing positive for a "drug of abuse" for the second time. He served 25 games of that suspension after getting credit for 25 after he underwent substance-abuse counseling.
Tate had sports hernia surgery in October 2009. In November of that year, he suffered a broken jaw and facial lacerations in an ATV accident near his Georgia home. In 2010, Tate missed the start of the regular season after suffering a sprained left shoulder in Spring Training.
"It's too bad," said San Diego manager Bud Black. "It's a sad story."
Tate, who had signed a letter of intent to play quarterback at the University of North Carolina coming out of high school, was widely regarded as the top high school player in the 2009 Draft. Tate, who is represented by agent Scott Boras, is the son of Lars Tate, a former running back at Georgia who also played three seasons in the NFL.
The Padres -- under then-owner Jeff Moorad -- certainly had high hopes for Tate, who was picked after the Nationals took pitcher Stephen Strasburg (No. 1 overall) and the Mariners took second baseman Dustin Ackley (No. 2 overall).
"We've kind of said, worst-case scenario, maybe a Mike Cameron ... somebody that hits .240, .250, a lot of punchouts maybe, but big bombs and plays as good a defense as you get. Durable, athletic, steals a lot of bases," former Padres director of player development Grady Fuson said in 2009.
"Best-case scenario, you got the whole ball of wax. You got an Andruw Jones or something in his best years."

New team New products New opportunities And a renewed sense of optimism.
Kaman Corporation — and its high-profile helicopter division — have begun reaping the benefits of a two-year transformation that is changing the face of this venerable industry leader and innovator.
At the corporate level, Neil Keating was named successor to Paul Kuhn in the role of president and CEO in March 2008. Four months later, in July 2008, Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine named Kaman No. 4 on its bat of five-year most-improved companies. In Keating's new role he appointed Gregory steiner as president of Kaman Aerospace Group. Also, within the Helicopters Division, President sal Bordonaro introduced an aggressive agenda and new marketing team led by Director Mark Tattershall
Kaman is actively marketing its highly capable and supportable mission-ready SH-2G Super Seasprite helicopters to potential international and domestic naval customers. The Egyptian Air Force has entered its 11th year of successful robust performance of its SH-2G [E] helicopter fleet. Other international militaries using the SH-2G Super Seasprite include the Royal New Zealand Air Forces and the Poland Navy.
Some of the biggest names in aerospace, including Sikorsky Aircraft, are seeking support from HeliworX, Kaman's full-service aerospace innovation and manufacturing support center. Backed by Kaman's infrastructure and expertise, HeliworX is the only subcontractor with the OEM advantage capable of offering design/analysis, manufacturing and test and flight solutions for an industry dealing with unprecedented demand. Other capabilities include integration, composite and metallic manufacturing, final assembly, rotor blade whirl towers, a sand erosion test facility and flight test.
In 2006, the company reached an agreement with Lockheed Martin to market unmanned K-MAX helicopters to military customers worldwide, and in August 2008, Kaman delivered the first K-MAX helicopter to Lockheed Martin in support of the test and development program for a manned-unmanned K-MAX. The aircraft was handed off to a Lockheed Martin pilot and more deliveries are imminent. In November, a K-MAX Unmanned Multi-Mission Helicopter was flown at Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia. The demonstration helped highlight the aircraft's potential to benefit future battlefield operations
At the same time, commercial K-MAX helicopters continue to make headlines around the world with spectacular rescues, firefighting, unusual missions and disaster relief. Under Kaman's new leadership, we are developing exciting new technologies that will give the K-MAX greater mission capability in its role as a premier firefighting helicopter. Watch for it.
Overall Kaman is continuing efforts to reduce operating and life cycle costs, while improving performance, safety and aircraft availability. For example, Kaman is working closely with Hontek and the U.S. Army in support of a highly successful Blade Erosion Protection program. The new process has proven so effective in reducing erosion that the unique coating is now mandated for use on all BLACK HAWK rotor blades and has the potential to benefit helicopters worldwide. Looking ahead, Bordonaro and his team see a bright future that includes significant growth for HeliworX, including, work beyond rotorcraft; K-MAX fleet sales; ITAS software completion for seasprite; more unmanned K-MAX demonstrations and deliveries and even growth through acquisition.
Today's Kaman Helicopters is a company on the move.

WOODSTOCK – A vacant Mental Health Board seat has sparked a showdown between County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill and the committee in charge of filling it.
Within minutes of the Public Health and Human Services Committee's 4-0 vote Tuesday morning to recommend banker Jeff Thorsen to fill the seat, Hill stunned members by telling them she would not allow the nominee to advance to a full County Board vote alongside a candidate that Hill, R-Woodstock, will recommend herself.
The announcement was one of two political bombshells at the meeting, the other being that Hill will ask the County Board to remove Sandra Fay Salgado, R-McHenry, from the committee, citing a conflict of interest with her job. Salgado is human resources director for Pioneer Center for Human Services, which receives Mental Health Board funding.
The four committee members who attended expressed outrage at Hill, alleging that she is trying to stop reform of a Mental Health Board that has received considerable criticism over the past year for its management and spending practices.
"The credibility we put in you when we voted for you is really in jeopardy," committee Chairwoman Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, told Hill, who was elected chairwoman last December by the board's 24 members.
John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, walked out of the meeting, and Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, disparaged comments Hill made in her inaugural State of the County Address regarding a new era in county government.
"Instead of a new day, it looks like we're going to be plunged into darkness," Walkup said. "I hope everyone brought batteries for their flashlights, because it's going to be a long, dark night."
Hill said she anticipates that both votes – approving her candidate and replacing Salgado – will be on next Tuesday's board agenda. Board rules require her to reveal her nominee to the County Board by Thursday for a vote at its next meeting.
Critics in recent years have alleged that the Mental Health Board has grown into a bureaucracy that spends too much property-tax revenue on administration and overhead that should be disbursed directly to agencies working with the mentally ill and disabled, which the board was created by voters to do.
Among the more vocal critics has been Kurtz, who upon appointment as committee chairwoman in January spearheaded putting new faces on the nine-member Mental Health Board. The County Board agreed with the committee's recommendations in March to install three newcomers for three open seats and toss out the Mental Health Board president.
But the County Board a week ago rejected the committee's original pick to fill this latest vacancy – former McHenry County College trustee Scott Summers – on a 6-18 vote.
Immediately after that May 7 vote, Hill invoked her right under board rules to bring forth a candidate of her own, citing the overwhelming rejection. But Kurtz pledged to reconvene the committee to choose another from six other candidates whom Summers beat. Hill had said Friday she was leaning toward allowing both recommendations to go forward.
Hill after the meeting defended her decisions, and said she has no intention of trying to replace Kurtz as committee chairwoman.
"I think the job that Donna's doing is laudable. The manner in which she's going about doing it is off-putting to all players," Hill said.
As for Salgado, Hill called her placement on the committee "the epitome of conflict of interest" because she works for Pioneer Center. Hill also pointed out that Salgado wanted to get off the committee, which was not one of her choices for assignment after the November election.
Salgado said she did not seek reappointment because she is tired of the conflict question always arising, despite opinions from the State's Attorney's Office concluding that it does not constitute a conflict when it comes to Mental Health Board votes and other issues.
But she said she will fight this reassignment because of the timing. Salgado has served on the public health committee, and has worked for Pioneer Center, since her 2000 election.
"I'm very curious. Why now? Timing is everything. What's so different now?" Salgado said.
Salgado also questioned Hill about conflict-of-interest allegations against other County Board members. While she didn't name any names, the public in recent months has.
Conservationists alleged that the appointment of zoning attorney Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, as chairman of the Planning and Development Committee constituted a pro-development conflict. And residents living along non-dedicated roads have alleged that their quest for road and bridge tax funds has been held up by Transportation Committee Chairwoman Anna May Miller, R-Cary, because she is married to Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner Bob Miller and works for the department.
Absent from Tuesday's meeting were the three committee members who voted against Summers.
Paula Yensen, D-Lake in the Hills, said her absence was strictly related to her job as executive director of the United Way of Central Kane County, and Mary McCann, R-Woodstock, was chairing a Finance and Audit Committee meeting at the same time. Miller, R-Cary, has been recovering from a car accident and could not be reached for comment.
What happened
The McHenry County Board Public Health and Human Services Committee voted Tuesday, 4-0, to recommend appointing Crystal Lake City Council member Jeff Thorsen to a vacant seat on the Mental Health Board.
But County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, said she will not allow the nomination to advance. She said last week she would advance her own nominee after the County Board crushed the committee's last choice – former McHenry County College trustee Scott Summers – on a 6-18 vote.
Hill also said she will ask the County Board to remove Sandra Fay Salgado, R-McHenry, from the committee. Hill said Salgado's job as human resources director for Pioneer Center for Human Services, which receives Mental Health Board funding, as a conflict of interest.
What's next
Both recommendations – Hill's nominee and Salgado's removal – will likely go before the County Board at its next meeting.
The County Board next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the county Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

The return vent? I don't get a return vent. A return vent to where?
I have some things to check..1) check your door gasket on the fresh food side for air leaks also make sure the door are self closing if you have warm air coming into the fresh food side It will show up at the coldest area that is in the return vent...Done, Checked gasket all the way round. My 6 year has a hard time pulling the door open2) you evaporator fan motor may not be strong enough... as whirlpool have replaced them with stronger motor to keep the air movingThis unit has worked fine in the past and continues to work good as long as there is no blockage.3) when the fan stops you may be getting a reverse air flow that will cause the vent to freeze as cold air meets the warmer air of the fresh food side...I think there is a vent cover to help with this problem...I just took the vent cover off for the pichope this helps
1) are the door hard to open do to suction ?2) I have seen them work for many year... then there is not enough air flaow to keep up with the system... Whirlpool has come out with a stronger motor.3)I should have said that there is an replacement vent cover and an inlet scoop
This is the return vent . Cold air is blown in at the top drops and is sucked into the vent at the bottom. The vent leads to the freezer at the bottom of the evapator . If it is blocked by ice. Air can not return to the freezer side so you will not get any cooling in the fresh food side.

Isaiah Washington Apologizes, Admits Conduct Unacceptable, Will Seek HelpSteve Marsi at .
Under fire by both ABC and gay leaders, Isaiah Washington has apologized for what he called his "unacceptable in any context" comments about gay co-star T.R. Knight at Golden Globe Awards Monday night.
"I can neither defend nor explain my behavior," Washington said in a statement, according to People. "I can also no longer deny to myself that there are issues I obviously need to examine within my own soul, and I've asked for help."
"T.R.'s courage throughout this entire episode speaks to his tremendous character. I hold his talent, and T.R. as a person, in high esteem. I know a mere apology will not end this, and I intend to let my future actions prove my sincerity," Washington said.
Washington, who plays Dr. Preston Burke on the hit ABC show, denied in the pressroom at the Golden Globes on Monday that he ever used a gay slur in reference to Knight.
"No, I did not call T.R. a faggot," said Washington. "Never happened, never happened."
But during an appearance Wednesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Knight said that Washington did use the word during an on-set argument with co-star Patrick Dempsey in October.
"He referred to me as a faggot," he told DeGeneres. "Everyone heard it."
Neil Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), said Thursday night that Washington "has scheduled a meeting with us for early next week, and we look forward to exploring opportunities for moving forward and healing some of the wounds of the past four months."
Earlier GLAAD had demanded that Washington apologize for his actions. Some fans have also circulated a petition online to have the actor fired.
ABC has responded by saying that Washington's remarks at the Golden Globe Awards were unacceptable and are being addressed.
"We have a long standing policy to create and maintain respectful workplaces for all our employees," the network said in a statement.
"We dealt with the original situation in October, and thought the issue resolved. Therefore, we are greatly dismayed that Mr. Washington chose to use such inappropriate language at the Golden Globes, language that he himself deemed 'unfortunate' in his previous public apology. We take this situation very seriously. His actions are unacceptable and are being addressed."

SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. – Police shot and killed two people who were accused of stealing from a store in southwest Miami-Dade on Friday afternoon, according to investigators.
The shooting happened at Miller Road and SW 117th Avenue about 2:40 p.m.
A man and a woman were attempting to steal from a store near Sunset Drive and SW 117th Avenue, say police. Employees at the store then called 911.
Uniformed Miami-Dade Police officers began pursuing the pair, who then tried ramming their car into the officer's vehicle, say police. They crashed and two officers fired, hitting the pair.
The woman was killed. The man was transported to Kendall Regional Medical Center, where he later died.
It's unclear if either person was armed.
"It's hard to tell at this point. They're still processing the scene. I mean there's a lot of stuff that needs to get done prior to that. It's going to be awhile, it's a very detailed investigation," said Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta.
Video showed several bullet holes in the driver's side window of the car. Witnesses reported hearing up to nine gunshots.
"We just thought it was fireworks," said one woman.
Lydia Perez and her husband, Rene Hernandez, said they were caught in the middle of the pursuit.
"This car just came out of the parking lot -- just stormed right onto 117th and cut right in front of us," Perez said.
With police feet away, pursuing the suspects' car, Perez began snapping photos. Minutes later, the car crashed into a fence.
"This car tried to get away. And, like, ambush the police officer. Now, we're a few feet away and we had to stop. And then all the sudden the police came out and we heard gunshots," Perez said.
Police closed Southwest 117th from 47th Terrace to 58th Terrace as they investigated.

Fire Bible and Acts Commentary
Last week saw a spate of new Accordance module releases. Among them were the notes to the Fire Bible: Global Study Edition. Originally titled The Full Life Study Bible, it began in the early 1980s as a missionary project by the late Don Stamps (1938-1991). While Rev. Stamps was serving in Brazil, he recognized a great need among pastors and lay workers for a study Bible written from a Pentecostal perspective. Later published as the Life in the Spirit Study Bible, it was first called the Fire Bible by believers in mainland China after they received Bibles in their own languages. Often referred to as a one-book Pentecostal library, the Fire Bible contains 77 theme articles, 45 maps and charts, introductions to each book of the Bible, and Pentecostal study notes.
In addition to the Fire Bible notes, we also released a commentary on the book of Acts by Pentecostal scholar Stanley Horton. This commentary is very readable and features study questions after each major section, so it is suitable for personal and group study. It is also copiously footnoted, and just skimming the footnotes gives the impression that Horton has read and interacted with every commentary on Acts ever written. Since many of the distinctives of the Pentecostal/Charismatic tradition are derived from the book of Acts, this commentary will prove extremely helpful both to those who belong to that tradition and those who wish to understand it better.
Both the Fire Bible Notes and Horton's Commentary on Acts are on sale through March 31.

I think if people read it carefully and try to understand it, they can easily answer all the question which are made in their mind.

MONDAY, Sept. 9, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- People with HIV have a greatly increased risk of a common heart rhythm disorder that's a leading cause of stroke, a new study shows.
The increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) from HIV is similar to or higher than known risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure, according to researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
"This is the first paper demonstrating that HIV is a risk factor for AF, and the potency of that risk is similar to other well-established AF risk factors," said senior study author Dr. Gregory Marcus, associate chief of cardiology for research at UCSF.
"Because AF can be asymptomatic and stroke may be the first manifestation, it's important for caregivers to be aware of patients at heightened risk," he added in a university news release.
The analysis of data from nearly 17.3 million people in California showed that HIV infection was associated with an 80% higher risk of AF, 89% for high blood pressure and 22% for diabetes.
The association between HIV and AF risk was significantly higher in younger patients, blacks and Hispanics, and people without high blood pressure, diabetes or alcohol abuse.
The study was published Sept. 9 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Antiretroviral therapy has increased the life expectancy of people with HIV, but previous studies have shown that these patients are at increased risk for heart disease and sudden cardiac death, at least in part due to antiretroviral therapy.
Atrial fibrillation affects more than 2 million Americans, according to the National Stroke Association, and about 15% of people who have strokes have AF. Up to 80% of strokes in people with AF can be prevented, according to the association.
"Physicians caring for HIV-infected patients should be aware of this strong relationship" between HIV and AF, Marcus said.
"Increased awareness may help in recognizing the diagnosis and consequently result in more frequent prescription of appropriate therapies, such as anticoagulation [blood thinners], to reduce morbidity and mortality," he concluded.
More information
The U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has more on atrial fibrillation and stroke.

Mahdi Blah Iraq. As Sunni insurgents and the Shiite Mahdi Army step up their attacks in Baghdad, President Bush announces his plan to send 21,500 more troops to provide security. It's not clear who will enjoy this security, but it won't be those 21,500 troops. Lexicographers debate whether to call this a surge or an escalation, but ultimately agree on catastrophe. Bush also warns Americans not to expect a traditional victory in Iraq, with U.S. generals accepting an unconditional surrender on a battleship. Thanks for the warning, Mr. President, but we weren't really expecting that.
The Symbolic Congress
Democrats. Instead of trying to use their new power to try to stop the surge, congressional Democrats intend to express their strong opposition to the plan through a series of symbolic votes, to remind Americans that this is George W. Bush's war. Because most of us were laboring under the impression that this was Millard Fillmore's war. Some critics believe that after their election victories, Democrats must do more than stand on the sidelines and whine about Bush. Then again, that's all they did for the past six years, and Americans seemed to approve in November.
Surgin' General Pentagon. The new U.S. commander in Iraq will be Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, a widely respected military thinker renowned for his honesty, realism, and expertise in fighting counterinsurgencies. Bush insists that the choice is an aberration, and will not disrupt his ongoing efforts to surround himself with incompetent yes men.
Bomb Deal Somalia. U.S. warplanes drop bombs and fire missiles onto several towns and villages in southern Somalia. Bush explains that the airstrikes were unavoidable once the CIA confirmed the existence of weapons of mass destruction in northern Liechtenstein.
Defense Lawyer Sold Separately
Technology. Apple chief executive Steve Jobs wows the tech world with the new iPhone, a combination wireless phone, Web browser, digital music player, StairMaster, curling iron, and Fry-o-Lator. Jobs says the fully equipped phone won't be ready until June, but some of the options could be backdated.
Spend It Like Beckham
Sports. British footballer David Beckham is coming to America, after signing a five-year, $250 million contract to run Home Depot. Ha! We joke. He's getting all that money to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy, a team nobody has heard of in Los Angeles, or anywhere else in the galaxy. Beckham's brand of football is different from "American football," because players can't catch the ball or tackle their opponents. In the United States, that's known as "Redskins football."
Feeling Hot Hot Hot
Climate. Scientists report that 2006 was the hottest year on record, and the Bush administration finally admits that manmade global warming is contributing to the problem. Some analysts believe that the president may even consider supporting some modest bipartisan actions to address climate change, although these analysts also believe that Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump may decide to iron out their differences over a romantic weekend in Oahu. Meanwhile, congressional Democrats announce plans to express their strong opposition to the heat through a series of symbolic votes.
Rebutton That Shirt, Dennis Kucinich! 2008. Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., announces his presidential candidacy by calling Don Imus, a venue befitting his long-shot candidacy. Next week, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., plans to enter the race by telling the guy behind the counter at his local Arby's. But the big campaign news is all the media attention that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., gets after he's photographed shirtless. The Zeitgeist sincerely hopes that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson didn't read that last sentence.
Kerry Could Use Some Help, Too Sports That Americans Like. Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn are elected to baseball's Hall of Fame, but suspected steroid user Mark McGwire is shunned for stonewalling a congressional inquiry by refusing to talk about the past. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice immediately hires McGwire as a consultant.
It Wasn't the Knicks? Homeland Security. Urbanites scramble for indoor cover after a foul odor wafts through New York City. They calm down after extensive monitoring rules out a chemical or biological attack, and ultimately identifies the odor as New York City.

Will Saoirse Ronan be heading to Middle Earth alongside her "Lovely Bones" director?
Peter Jackson may be laid up in the hospital right now, but that hasn't stopped his "Hobbit" casting director - Ros Hubbard - from dropping some big time casting hints about the Kiwi director's return to J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy world.
In an interview with the Irish Film & Television Network, Hubbard let slip that "Saoirse's family will go [to New Zealand] too, everyone is very close and very loving on those sorts of jobs. It's not like typical studio movies at all."
U.S. & World
Ronan's casting hasn't officially been announced, nor has it been revealed who, exactly, she's going to be playing - although the consensus seems to be that she'd be playing Itaril, a young Elf woman. If Hubbard is correct, then the young Irish actress (whose upcoming film "Hanna" is generating substantial buzz) joins an impressive "Hobbit" cast that includes Martin Freeman (as Bilbo Baggins) and the possible return of "Lord of the Rings" stars Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis (reprising their roles of Gandalf and Gollum, respectively).
Production on "The Hobbit" has been temporarily delayed while Jackson recovers from ulcer surgery.

July 5th, 2013 I was able to witness one of two nights of enchantment, music, inspiration and fantasy as some of the world's most elaborate costumers and artists came together to celebrate the Sixteenth annual Labyrinth Masquerade Ball at the historic Park Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles.
Sypher Studios continues to offer this night to anyone who has the imagination and heart to dress up and be part of it and the outcome was fascinating!
As we walked into the grand lobby of the Park Plaza we were
immediately introduced to goblins, mythological creatures of all kinds by Lord Chamberlain. To one side of the lobby you could place your jackets in care of the Goblin Coat Check and admire some Venetian masks while others took a stroll to the Pixie's Photo Grotto. Moving through a gorgeous archway to the left of the lobby you entered the Golden room that led to a big ballroom, called the Bronze room. There, a dj and some entertainment like the Sypher Elite Dance Core performed their acts all through the evening. You could see lively fairies dance, and nobles get a drink at the bar.
The Aetherlight Orchestra and more amazing musicians and acts filled the Water Temple outside area with music and magic. In the depths of the Court of Night, where elemental graces begin their journey into the light, the story of the three courts continued up a big staircase. There, nobles wishing to escape the chaos of the goblins and lively dances of the faeries, the Clockwork Ballroom brought together waltzes, live entertainment, and opera with a steampunk edge. The famous Clockwork Tea Room featured a motley assortment of treats in a one of a kind tea service at the masquerade; featuring a unique blend of custom teas you'll only find within the Court of Sypher! You could also enjoy some amazing artwork by Brian Kesinger, and meet the artist in person at the Clockwork Tearoom.
On the dance floor you were invited to couple up with a partner and follow a mistress into the formations of various historical dances accompanied by the Wessex Consort. There you could admire a very special performance of the world famous Baritone; Stephen Swanson.
The outside area was overtaken by the goblins building up food courts and more seating for patrons who wished to visit them in their encampment. After experimenting with water powered devices and goblin Ironworks, they were able to make their own stage. The Goblin Stage featured Sparky, the pizza dragon, for real dragon fired pizzas and other food trucks and refreshments. You could also shop till you dropped at the village shops featuring vendors such as clockwork couture.
On the outside stage you could admire performers like Serenata, the Zundri Dancers, Seraphim Collective Cirque, time of the faeries universe, Xian, Celine an aerealist performer, Bad Wolf, the League of Steam and Alice.
The Masquerade Ball happens once a year and you can catch one more night of this Venetian tradition, Celtic faerie and goblin lure tonight July 6th, 2013.
Discover the new chambers and secret pathways and build new stories in this historical landmark while gazing upon the architectural beauty as the Plaza.
Lost within the borders of chaos and light, nobles dance among the Fae while goblins wait with hungry eyes in the wings of their court.
ANYONE who has dreamed of a surrealistic fantasy fading into a single night is able to attend.
Of course, the main point of a Masquerade is to dress in costume and astonish friends and strangers alike. Be imaginative, revel in the ambiance and detail as the world falls down. . .

Russia's threat of banning adoptions heartbreaking to families awaiting a child
The Russian government is threatening to ban adoptions to the United States, leaving some area families caught in a desperate waiting game.
Daniel and his brother, Matthew, have a warm home and a loving family, but their lives began very differently.
Their parents adopted the boys six years ago from a Russian orphanage. The process took more than a year and two visits to Russia.
Mark and Jessica Stanmeyer said they know how hard it must be for people trying to adopt to hear that it all might come to a halt.
"You think that your family is finally going to come together, and suddenly, it's all come to a stop. It's got to be very heartbreaking," Jessica Stanmeyer said.
"It's going to be the hardest thing in the world because in many cases, they've already met the children. They're already sitting there. They have pictures," Mark Stanmeyer said. "The children in Russia have already been told that this is their parent, and now that child is even sitting in an orphanage in Russia, waiting for their mom and their dad to come back and pick them up."
"I don't think we had any idea that something this drastic would happen," said Kim Westfahl of Lutheran Social Services.
Westfahl helps coordinate Russian adoptions.
She said some Wisconsin families are just weeks away from bringing their child home and suddenly face the possibility that might not happen.
"It would be devastating. I don't know that those families would even want to start over. I think they would be done trying to build their families," Westfahl said.
The Stanmeyers, meanwhile, said they hope that the situation is quickly resolved and that the politicians put the families first.
"It's sad that politics has gotten in the way of making these families complete," Mark Stanmeyer said.
"And disappointing because we're dealing not with a good or a service, we're dealing with people's lives," Jessica Stanmeyer said
UNICEF estimates that there are nearly three-quarters of a million Russian children without parents.
Some say the threat of a ban is just part of a political battle over U.S. sanctions against Russia for human rights violations, but the Russian president said he supports the ban on adoptions to the United States because of concerns over child abuse cases in the U.S. involving Russian adoptees.
The two countries have an agreement that calls for a one-year grace period if adoptions are halted.
If that's honored, most of the current adoptions would go through. Those children would come to the United States with their new families.
According to the U.S. State Department, Russia is the third most popular place for Americans to adopt children.
More than 45,000 Russian children have been adopted by American families since 1999.
The number of Russian adoptions has fallen in recent years after peaking in 2005.

Download this release.You can download the WebJobs SDK from the NuGet gallery and can install these packages from the NuGet gallery using the NuGet Package Manager Console, like this:
- Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs -pre
- Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ServiceBus -pre
- Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions -pre
Extensible model for Triggers and BindersThe initial release of the SDK was focused on triggering functions based on events from Azure Queues, Blobs and Service Bus. Since the release of the SDK, we have received lots of feedback that developers would like to add more triggers such as triggering a function based on file events, schedule based triggers, events from SQL server and more. The new extensibility model allows extension authors to write new triggers / binders, and those extensions can be used by others in their applications. It leads to simplicity in developing WebJobs, since now you can have a single WebJob with functions which can be triggered on Azure Queues, Blobs, Service Bus, Files, Timers and more. It also improves the deployment, management and debugging since you are managing a single WebJob. You can scale your WebJob or host to multiple hosts and the Triggers ensure that only one instance of the function gets invoked. You get all the benefits of the Core SDK functionality such as dashboard monitoring, route pattern matching, serialization, etc as outlined in this getting started tutorial.
Write a Custom Trigger/ BinderWe have created a new open source repo (https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-extensions ) which contains extensions demonstrating the new extensibility model. Please follow this detailed guide on the architecture of the extensibility model. There is a sample which you can use to get started with writing your own Trigger or Binder. We're looking for feedback on the new extensibility model so please provide feedback as you write extensions.
Trigger and Binder for Files and TimersThe extensions repo has examples of a File and Timer trigger which demonstrate the new extensibility model. Please note that these are in preview right now. The following code shows how you can trigger functions based on File events or on a schedule. You need to install Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions NuGet package.
public class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { JobHostConfiguration config = new JobHostConfiguration(); FilesConfiguration filesConfig = new FilesConfiguration(); // When running locally, set this to a valid directory. // Remove this when running in Azure. // filesConfig.RootPath = @"c:\temp\files"; // Add Triggers and Binders for Files and Timer Trigger. config.UseFiles(filesConfig); config.UseTimers(); JobHost host = new JobHost(config); host.RunAndBlock(); } // Function triggered by a timespan schedule every 15 sec. public static void TimerJob([TimerTrigger("00:00:15")] TimerInfo timerInfo, TextWriter log) { log.WriteLine("Scheduled job fired!"); } // When new files arrive in the "import" directory, // they are uploaded to a blob container. public static void ImportFile( [FileTrigger(@"import\{name}","*.txt")] TextReader input, [Blob(@"processed/{name}")] TextWriter output, string name, TextWriter log) { output.Write(input.ReadToEnd()); log.WriteLine(string.Format("Processed input file '{0}'!", name)); } }
Dashboard for monitoring Trigger/ Binder extensions.Extensions get all the dashboard functionality such as function execution details, Invoke & replay, Causality of functions, Abort, Search blobs for free. Following screen shot shows the function execution details for the File trigger.
Other Changes in this ReleaseApart from opening up the extensibility model to allow authors to write custom triggers and binders, we fixed key issues reported by customers. Following are some of the issues fixed in this preview. For the full list, see this query.
- Allow user configuration of CloudQueue/CloudQueueClient
- Specify permissions needed for ServiceBus Topic
- Support configurable retry policies
Changes to ServiceBus registrationAs part of opening up the extensibility model, we moved ServiceBus triggers and binders to be based off this new extensibility system. If you are using ServiceBus and you update to this version of the SDK, you will have to register ServiceBus triggers and binders as follows. Service Bus connection string override is now provided by ServiceBusConfiguration. Please refer to the following sample.
public class Program { public static void Main() { JobHostConfiguration config = new JobHostConfiguration(); config.UseServiceBus(); JobHost host = new JobHost(config); host.RunAndBlock(); } }
Open SourceThe source code for the SDK, extensibility system and related repos is available here:
- https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk/
- https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-extensions
- https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-samples/
SamplesSamples for WebJobs SDK can be found at https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-samples Samples for WebJobs SDK extensibility can be found at https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-extensions
- You can find samples on how to use triggers and bindings for blobs, tables, queues and Service Bus.
- PhluffyShuffy which is an Image processing Website where a customer can upload pictures which will trigger a function to process those pictures from blob storage.
- PhluffyLogs is an example where a WebJob parses log files generated by the app and archives the log files.
Updates in this Release
- Updated QueueOperations sample to demonstrate the new queue config knobs, as well as the new QueueProcessor capabilities
- Added a "LimitedAccess" example function showing the new SB attribute ctor overloads we added taking AccessRights
- Updated ServiceBus sample to config.UseServiceBus()

HCI International Conference Series
The HCI International Conference was founded in 1984 by Prof. Gavriel Salvendy (Purdue University, USA, Tsinghua University, P.R. China, and University of Central Florida, USA) with the 1st USA-Japan Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, and was held in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, 18-20 August. Since then, HCI International is held jointly with several Thematic Areas and Affiliated Conferences under one management and one registration. Twenty HCI International Conferences have been organized so far (every two years until 2013, and annually thereafter).
The conference objective is to provide an international forum for the dissemination and exchange of up-to-date scientific information on theoretical, generic and applied areas of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Human Interface and Management of Information, Universal Access, Engineering Psychology, Cognitive Ergonomics, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality, Cross-Cultural Design, Social Computing, Social Media, Augmented Cognition, Digital Human Modeling and Applications in Health, Safety, Ergonomics and Risk Management, Design, User Experience and Usability, Distributed, Ambient and Pervasive Interactions, HCI in Business, Government and Organizations, Learning and Collaboration Technologies, and Human Aspects of IT for the Aged Population. This is accomplished through various modes of communication, such as plenary presentations, parallel sessions, poster sessions, tutorials, exhibitions, Student Design Competition, mentoring sessions, demonstrations, and Late Breaking News.
You are invited to visit the webpage of the next conference HCI International 2020 which will take place at the AC Bella Sky Hotel and Bella Center, in Copenhagen, Denmark, 19-24 July 2020.

The End!
We stayed in Visby which was right by the port.
Most of the time the skies looked like this…overcast & misty.
We had ice cream (glass) every day. Panna cotta + hazelnut were my favorite. On the hunt for an L.A. place that has these flavors so help a girl out if you know any!
Local glass maker.
Local beer!
They had these sheep everywhere for people to sit on.
The night before my flight back to L.A. my aunt said I could raid her yarn stash and take whatever I wanted. I didn't expect to find anything special but walked away with 12 brand new hanks of wool. YES. I felt bad at first for taking so many but when she told me she only uses it to tie packages (she runs a toy shop) I figured I was doing the yarn a favor.
This is some Rowan felted tweed that I got from Liberty to make Akoya.
And a glass sheep I got from Sweden.
The grey yarn was purchased at a small farm shop and came from the sheep pictured below. It's scratchier than what I'm used to but I still got two hanks. How can I go to Sweden and not buy wool?
I'm so happy to be home!!!
cathy permalinkAugust 5, 2011 3:11 pm
Missed you! The photos are lovely, love the photo of the village. Ice cream sure looks yummy! Wow lucky you with the yarn! Have a quick recovery. You for got to tell us how Lily acted when you first got home.

DBIx::Class::Migration::Population - Utility to populate fixture data
use DBIx::Class::Migration::Population;

$schema = MyApp::Schema->connect(...);
(my $population = DBIx::Class::Migration::Population->new(
Sometimes you just need to populate data for your scripts, such as during testing and you don't want to expose a full migrations interface and let someone accidently wipe your database with one command. This utility is designed to assist. It is basically a thin wrapper on DBIx::Class::Fixtures that is just aware of DBIx::Class::Migration conventions.
You create an instance of this similarly to DBIx::Class::Migration, except you can't pass any arguments related to DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler since you don't have one :). You can create it from an existing schema, or build it from a schema_class and schema_args, and optional set a target directory (or just let it use the default distribution share directory). Afterwards we expose a
populate method that takes a list of fixture set names.
You don't have any control over which version we are trying to populate, we always use the declared schema Version. We assume you have an existing deployed database that matches the current schema.

Xrays Mona Lisa is the auto-genitor of this entire website, and deserves more respect.
Word Salad has links and thoughts on language and mixing it up.
Pranted Mutter is words that are written wrottenly all reet?
The original intent of this wiki was for writing-based words. Now, it's the front-end for my entire website. Much of the focus is reference material -- so it may be bare-bones, link-filled pages with little commentary. I like to think it is somewhat organized, and there is some value to be gained from collation. I believe that there is value in the aggregation of links, and the (perhaps) minute changes and annotations they can collect over time. Hopefully, there is more that just links and minute annotations; worst-case scenario, that's still valuable, and can accrue more information (value) over time.
Some of the other subdivisions:
String Can Phone
Time Line
Some of the non-wikified areas include
Interference Patterns - a blog
AmazingText - blog-based word collation (not working)
artwork -- not curated well, nor updated in, like, forever.
The antique entrance page which is not working as of 2014 (due to some old WP blogs finally getting removed)

2 "Who can still believe in the opacity of bodies, since our sharpened and multiplied sensitiveness has already penetrated the obscure manifestations of the medium?

Life is too short, but not this article…
I wonder if Ron noticed the name Pierre put on his bulldozer…
You should know that in a soap opera the more the writer keeps you on your toes, the more you keep coming back for more…
and the more soap you buy…
And there is a lot more soap coming your way…
Her name was Lola…
She was a showgirl…
In my never ending quest for Fabien Sauvé after Ron got my genealogy bulldozer going, I found that Fabien Sauvé was really married three times.
Fabien first married Marie Louise Victorine Houle in 1874 in St-Polycarpe, Quebec, which is Ron's favourite Canadian province…
Go figure…
St-Polycarpe church in St-Polycarpe, near the Ontario border
I found that Fabien and Victorine had at least seven children: Anna, Napoléon, Hector, Jérémie, Georges Auguste, Joseph and little Victorine.
This is what I found about Napoléon Sauvé…

I also found this message posted on a genealogy forum…
Fabien Sauve and Marie-Louise Houle.
I have them as living in Glengarry Quebec around 1904 to at least 1913
I have the names and marrages of three of their children:
1) Joseph married in Chelmsford Ont. 22-08-1904 to Eva Rheaume daughter of Timothee and Melina Massie of S. Marthe
2) Jeremiah married in Chel. Ont. 03-02-1913 to Marie-Ange Rheaume sister of Eva
3) Napoleon married in Chel.Ont 07-01-1913 to Corinne Robillard daughter of Elzar and Pomela Rose Leroux of Les Cedres Quebec.
But I found much more on Napoléon, but I would have to write a spin-off blog from this soap opera with what I found out… unless Ron asks me of course…
As for Hector Sauvé, he was born in 1882.
Name: Joseph Hector Sauve
Gender: Male

In this census Fabien and Louise got their given names right…
Moving right along… Joseph Sauvé married Eva Rhéaume…
1) Joseph married in Chelmsford, Ontario. 22-08-1904 to Eva Rheaume daughter of Timothee and Melina Massie of S. Marthe
and Jérémie Sauvé married Eva's sister…
2) Jeremiah married in Chelmsford, Ontario. 03-02-1913 to Marie-Ange Rheaume sister of Eva
Little Victorine Sauvé married Joséphus Sauvé, son of Prosper Sauvé and Victoire Carrière.
Here we see Josephus in the 1881 Canadian census…

As for Anna Sauvé, I could not find anything more on her.
Maybe she became a nun or died young.
You see what I mean…
This will never stop… and I have two more marriages to go…
Pierre, I just can't get enough of all this…
Honoré my beloved husband…
Would you watch my cheese macaroni on the stove…?

I can't believe Grant is old enough to join Cub Scouts (although he prefers you just go ahead and give him the rank of BOY Scout, thank you very much). He and Kerry had their first meeting this Monday at our church. Grant was so excited to be joining such a fun-looking organization (especially since Ethan and his Steppy D were in the same group - should I be calling it a pack or a den???), and Kerry was excited to get to spend this special time with Grant since they so rarely get to see one another.
Do I see a future Boy Scout model in the making? (yip, he posed himself - again)
And who do you think also wanted to join in on the picture taking???
Correct you are!

Show Us Your Bemberg
That's my first Made to Measure suit up there. A DB navy chalk stripe with side vents and hacking pockets. I went overboard on the hacking pockets but what did I know. I also wanted a yellow bemberg lining but the the salesman convinced me otherwise and I went with the purple you see.
It all worked out well with the fit for my first time. Beginners luck because it has never gone as well since. During an after work drinks party I wound up sitting across from a friend's very attractive assistant. I was bumming Marlboro Lights from her and she was drinking as many Miller Lights as I could order.
Five or six beers in to the night she arched an eyebrow (I wish I could do that) and said, "That's a very attractive suit. " I blushed visibly. "Do you like it?" I said. "Mmmm, very much," she said. I explained to her it was Made To Measure and not custom and explained the difference adding, "I picked the color of the lining myself." She smiled, "Show me your lining." I unbuttoned my jacket and parted the lapels. She shifted in her seat and whispered, "Oh, I think I'm getting wet."
I only remember thinking, "If this is what Made to Measure can do - - What in the hell happens with bespoke?"

Chris- Glad to see you picked up the Miller Lite. I always like the girls who drank Bud Lite but beggars can't be choosers.
startwith- You should see the Golf Foxtrot in Lloyd's of London. All those grey and navy DBs send her into orbit.
Cathleen- This is an EEO lounge. And if you're looking to get a man's attention - - that line'll do it.

.......purple was definitely good advice.....and side benefits too!!........my favorite suit is a db chalk stripe which I got MTM from Chester Barrie.....I liked it so much I got another made in the same cloth sb......generally speaking I think women tend to appreciate the well dressed male more than other men.

I have a navy blue two button suit made by SAND with purple lining and purple stitching that holds the buttons in place. The stitching in particular is a really subtle detail on what is normally a relatively straightforward suit. I'll have to see if some Miller's and my suit can get those six words out of a lady's mouth. Ha-ha!!

Classic! A wonderful story to read first thing in the office... (A special stylish male friend of mine also chose purple for his first MTM and a few years later went back to the tailor and got him to rip it out and replace with a darker shade.... It was a subtle difference but I do like. I also appreciated how particular he was about it. Attention to detail is everything.)

ADG, she could have taken all his money but he'd ran out carrying his shoes and suits and loading them into the U-haul before she had burned them.

...I've got CB suits I've bought off the peg with minor adjustments that look better than suits I've had made bespoke on the row at twice the price. Not that they were cheap off the peg. CB are still functioning although on a much reduced scale. They still have a store on the row and the factory at Crewe, I bought an off the peg blazer there a couple of years ago. I believe a private equity firm now owns them. There are one or two off the peg makers like CB who make a superb product at a semi reasonable price (ie. not Brioni sticker shockers), Canali is another.

Max- You mean the PX. No, I haven't been on post (or base ) for a while. The State Street Marshall Fields had a Alexandre of Savile Row department going back to 2002 or '03. Don't know if they're still there but a fella named Michael from London ran it and the MTM program wasn't bad. The 2nd suit we did was a Dormeuil SB Peak Lapel. It didn't come out very well but they knocked $500 off which helped. Fully canvassed but I understand Alexandre has different levels at different price points. I'm not sure what AAFES has. Hell, I'm not sure Alexandre's still in Biz.
Joe- Had no idea CB was still in biz. I had heard a PE firm bought 'em back in '03 or '04. Maybe even earlier. It was after they lost the Purple Label contract.
My shirt maker in Chicago recommended Canali to me. I 've only bought one and gave it to a friend last year. Nice suit but I just didn't wear it enough.

Wore my dad's Alexandre green/brown herringbone Harris Tweed today. Not a second glance. Must be the tonal lining. Great fit though.

Remember this, your little boy. Riding down your block, bright red shirt, 23 in big white letters against the green grass and apple blossoms. Training wheels still banging against the sidewalk. The moment you got to spend with him, before he zoomed off ahead of you to get to his brother and the house he will remember growing up in.
Press it into your brain, like a flower in a heavy book, set to fall out at some moment. Reminding you of the sweetness of the bloom so long after it would have been otherwise forgotten. Remember that all the things he did had firsts, and this was one of them.

Literature as a Catalyst for Social Action: Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges
|3 – 5
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Seven 45-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Rochester, New York
Picture books engage students in critical discussion issues of race, class, and gender, challenging them to examine how prejudice and stereotypes sustain social barriers. After a read-aloud of passages from The Story of Ruby Bridges, students listen to and discuss The Other Side. Students discuss both texts, which deal with race and segregation issues. In following read-aloud sessions, students discuss The Royal Bee, the story of a Korean boy who breaks socioeconomic barriers, and Virgie Goes to School with Us Boys, which deals with gender issues in the post-Civil War South. After each read-aloud, students record their thoughts in journals. Next, students read biographies dealing with "breaking social barriers" and write related questions that students who read this book subsequently will respond to in their journals. Finally, students come together as a class to discuss their journal responses and make connections between the stories and their own lives.
Story Map: Using this online tool, students can complete and print a character map, conflict map, resolution map, or setting map after reading a story or as they plan their own piece of writing.
Interactive Venn Diagram: Use this online tool to organize ideas for a compare and contrast essay, or while reading to compare and contrast two works of literature
Discussing critical issues such as prejudice and gender discrimination in intermediate grades can have a powerful impact across disciplines. The subject matter, however, may be entirely new to students of this age. Both teachers and students should be prepared to allow critical conversations to flow openly and honestly in the classroom. Joy Moss writes, "Teachers introduce questions to build bridges between the story world and the child's own world of reality, imagination, and dreams. Children are invited...to identify with a character's feelings and concerns. They are given opportuinities to gain insights into their own lives" (p. 76). This literature-based lesson provides students with the opportunity to explore the impact of race, gender, and class issues both in the past and present, as well as in their own lives.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
The December release of Power Query preview (version 2.9.3502.261) introduced an interesting feature: when you import multiple tables in the data model, relationships existing between tables in the data source are automatically detected and added to the data model as well. This is similar to the behavior you have in Power Pivot, but there is an important difference. When you import one or more tables in a data model where you already imported other tables before, the relationships are detected also between tables already imported and new tables selected for import. As you might know, Power Pivot detects relationships only between tables imported at once, not between tables imported and other tables already in the data model, even when they comes from the same data source.
The detection in Power Query doesn't work between tables imported in data model directly by Power Pivot. It only works between tables that have been imported using Power Query.
I didn't test the performance (I can imagine there is some price to pay using Power Query instead of a direct connection), but it's clear that in the long term Power Query should be THE tool to import data in Power Pivot, or better in Excel, removing the overriding with existing functionalities that do similar things. I really like the progress that Power Query is doing, and I hope that the best is yet to come…
Isn't there a limitation in row count when using Power Query compared to direct data import to Power Pivot? It is not going to be THE tool if you will have to stick with the million rows limitation.
The million rows limitation exists only if you import data into an Excel table. If you load the data directly into the data model (and not in an Excel table) then you don't have such a limitation.
"The detection in Power Query doesn't work between tables imported in data model directly by Power Pivot. It only works between tables that have been imported using Power Query."
Hopefully, they will be one and the same in the near future.
I hope so!
Hello Marco
I'd like to get someone's opinion on whether the set up I have is most efficient or if there are any other recommendations.
I currently have 3 tables.:
1st table is named "stock" and has 1Million rows
2nd table is named "optimization" and has 400K rows
3rd table is named "fill rate" and has 100K rows
The "stock" table is downloaded via sql from our MRP system
The "optimization" table is also downloaded via sql from our MRP system
The "fill rate" table is downloaded from SAP via business warehouse.
Once all three are downloaded, I import all three via text files into Microsoft Access.
I then create a query to join the three tables and bring in the necessary columns and I also create calculated columns .I run the query and make it a new table in Access and I name the table 'analysis' in Access
After those steps I connect powerpivot to the table in Access named 'anaylsis' and begin to perform my analysis in Powerpivot.
Is this the most efficient method to use? If I were to use SQL Server Express instead of MS Access would it make this process easier and quicker to run? What are your thoughts?
I don't know what transformations you do in Access, but you might import the three tables directly in PowerPivot creating existing relationship in the data model. You might avoid Access at all, using PowerQuery for transformations if you need them.

Just months ago, Miley Cyrus was name-dropping Britney Spears on the hit "Party in the USA" – now, she seems to be following in the pop princess' footsteps.
The 17-year-old "Hannah Montana" star debuted her very grown-up video for "Can't Be Tamed" on Tuesday, showcasing an electro-tinged new pop sound and scenes and costumes reminiscent of Britney's own recent "Circus" tour.
The clip opens with Miley, sporting wild hair, an all-black outfit and CGI dark peacock wings in a bird cage, joined by a group of similarly costumed, skin-baring dancers. After dancing through hallways, she – and her mammoth wings – return to her cage and nest. The cage imagery also recalls that of another edgy pop star – Rihanna – in her "Disturbia" video.
Miley's new album, "Untamed," is due June 22.

If you've tried this recipe please rate it!
Eat and Enjoy!
Traditional Greek food as cooked by Greek mothers!! Delicious and easy recipes!!
That octopus dish looks awesome! Will try that one day most certainly. I guess you could use the baby octopus as well- I prefer the small ones to the big fat tentacles!
Sorry I have to disagree. I think that looks disgusting. However how it looks and how it tastes may be two completely different things. By the looks of it though I'm not sure I could put it in my mouth.
Then you are missing out Jordasche. Octopus is fantastic and to put it together with aubergine and potatoes and red wine/ garlic/ onion sauce would make it taste even more fantastic. If I had worried about how food looks I would never have tried all the fantastic sea food I have over the years. I even tried an oyster once and those just look like snot, but I still tried. For the record- oysters are grim but octopus is really worth trying, the baby ones are nicer.

Lets NOT forget Harmon Law Offices the foreclosure firm in the middle of this is being investigated by Attorney General Martha Coakley.
Providence Journal:
You can't do it this way. You can't just show up at a family's door and tell them to get out with no notice. It's thuggery.
But it almost happened. If not for some fast moving lawyers who know the territory and a compassionate cop, Angela Martinez and her three children and granddaughter would have been out on Lenox Avenue in Providence Tuesday morning.
"I get up early," says Martinez. "I was getting my son ready for school, and I saw a big truck out front. There was a guy on the porch with a paper in his hand."

A Battery Franchise Gets Juiced
This story appears in the August 2010 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
For Jason Fry, 2008 was a bad Hank Williams song. The Florida native was working three jobs--bartending, pouring concrete and digging wells--and still faced bankruptcy. The housing bubble put a sure-thing investment property underwater; he was expecting his second child; and his marriage was on the skids. Christmas was just three days away. "I don't know why, but I bought a lottery ticket," Fry says. "It's something I've only done a handful of times in my life."
That whim turned out to be a $47 million payday. For the next year, Fry did what you'd expect a millionaire in his 30s to do--he bought a boat, an Escalade, a Shelby Mustang, a motorcycle and a house in Fort Myers. He played golf every chance he got and invested in a driving range with a golf pro.
But the life of leisure made Fry antsy, so when an old college roommate showed him around his Batteries Plus operation in Orlando, the seed was planted. Fry went back to the golf course, but when he found out the franchise had the Cape Coral area available, he bought the territory and persuaded the owner of the Fort Myers location to sell.
Two years after his big win, with two Batteries Plus franchises up and running and plans to open stores in Coral and Bonita Springs over the next year, Fry is well on his way to becoming the Battery King of South Florida--and a scratch golfer.
A battery franchise? Really?
I lost a lot of money when the stock market crashed and through other bad investments. I figured this is kind of a recession-proof business. People always need batteries. I feel better investing in a battery store than the stock market, that's for sure.
Your stores are doing well. Do you have a secret?
Our Fort Myers store, which has been open for 14 years, has been the highest-grossing store in retail in the whole chain since I took over March of 2009. I attribute our success to customer service. In this day and age, that's what people are looking for, and we stand behind everything we sell. But my secret weapon is my friend Shawn Kennedy. He's just a genius when it comes to building custom battery packs, and he knows how to sell them.
What's the hardest part?
People think this is just a car battery place. We do a lot of aggressive advertising, but customers still walk in every day asking for oil changes [which aren't offered]. They're amazed at what we have. We can build almost anything. In construction, a replacement battery for a drill can cost almost as much as buying a new drill. We can build a new one for half the cost. It costs an arm and a leg to replace those dog collars for electric fences. We can open those up and change the battery, no problem.
Are you OK with getting orders from the franchisor?
We used to not be open on Sundays, and then corporate said all stores had to be open on Sunday. Lots of people who own stores were not happy about that. But looking at how much money we make on Sundays, it just doesn't make sense to close. It does bother you, but I'm a brand-new owner. They're not always right--but the majority of time they are.

This is a wonderful dark navy blue velour cloche that is very "flapper". Folds and a thin, separate velour bow on one side and a rounded cap on the rest. Covered all over the front with hand applied sequins each holding a seed pearl. There is a wide loose veil. This is quite a thick warm hat so it was designed for winter - maybe for holiday parties as it is not your typical everyday hat. It's probably the thickest velour I have seen used to make a hat. It's an early Henry Pollack from New York guessing by the imported French velour. Probably just before the war, as I am certain that France was not exporting very much post 1939. It is beautifully made - unlined (thank goodness as one would probably find this plenty warm enough without a lining if worn to an indoor event!) but with a matching grosgrain ribbon hat band inside. A simple but classy and clever design by Henry Pollack! Maybe this is better called a caplet or a topper, but personally I really think it emulates the cloche (too bad we can't ask the designer!) in many respects so I am going to list it under cloche and flapper hats.
