Mayor Walsh's 2017 remarks to the Boston Municipal Research Bureau
March 1, 2017
Mayor Martin J. Walsh delivered his remarks at the annual meeting of the Boston Municipal Research Bureau on March 1.
Thank you Matt [Keifer], thank you Sam [Tyler]. I'd like to start with an announcement. We learned yesterday that for the fourth year in a row, the City of Boston received perfect AAA bond ratings from both Moody's and Standard & Poor's. These ratings reward strong fiscal management by maximizing our access to capital.
That doesn't happen by accident. Three years ago in my first address to the Research Bureau, I made a commitment to data-driven performance in city government. We started in 2014 by installing data dashboards and using metrics at cabinet meetings. In 2015, we formed a citywide Analytics Team to drive innovation across departments. In January of 2016 we took it to another level with CityScore, a groundbreaking management system that has earned international attention.
As a direct result of these efforts, in the last year alone, we increased the fire trucks that arrive in under 4 minutes by 4%. We increased the traffic signals repaired within 24 hours by 10%. And we increased 311 calls answered within 30 seconds to 92%.
Data is improving our performance, saving us money, and even saving lives. Last year I noticed on the CityScore dashboard that, for several days in a row, our ambulance response numbers were in the red. That means below the standard we set. I asked EMS, the Analytics Team, and the Budget Office to look at the issue and come up with solutions. The result was, in the FY17 budget, we decided to hire 20 additional EMTs and buy 10 new ambulances.
We didn't just open up the checkbook. We made a sound investment. We project overtime costs will be down next year by 10% and revenue from insurance reimbursements will be up by 8%. It's a net positive impact of more than $3 million. Most important, people are getting help more quickly.
When I looked at the dashboard and saw that red number, I didn't see it as data. I was thinking about the people having medical crises and their families waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Many of us have been there, and it's the longest wait of your life."Data-driven" describes the tools we use to get there faster. But it's more accurate to say our culture is people-driven and data-smart. This philosophy goes beyond city services. It guides our response to the most pressing policy challenges.
Consider the issue of economic opportunity.
In recent years, income and wealth inequality have moved to the center of that conversation. By one measure, Boston is among the most unequal cities. We are working to change that. But we want to do it in a way that lifts our people up, not just our numbers. Inequality metrics miss some things about Boston. For example, we provide a greater share of subsidized housing than any other city. And we have one of the biggest college and graduate student populations. If these lower-income residents couldn't live here, we might look like a more equal city. But I submit that without public housing and universities, we'd lose something more. We wouldn't be Boston.
The big drivers of inequality are global forces and national policies. Locally, our scope for action is better defined by mobility: the opportunity for people to get ahead in life and achieve financial security. As a people-driven, data-smart city, that's what we devote our energy to advancing. Mobility requires education and job training, housing and transportation, health and quality of life. So it's the goal in all our policy work.
For example, high rents are one of the biggest obstacles to mobility. That's why our historic rate of housing production is one of our most important mobility strategies. By getting over 19,000 units either built or in construction, we've taken pressure off the existing housing stock where working families live. Average rents were down last year by 4%. New housing has put money back in working people's pockets.
For many people, mobility means small business ownership. So we expanded citywide small business support. And today I can announce we are creating a Business Capital and Finance Unit. It will make loans to small businesses with minimum set-asides for historically under-served neighborhoods and people. We're going to help more entrepreneurs achieve their dreams.
Above all, upward mobility today requires education. Public schools are the foundation of opportunity in our society. That's why, in the last three years, we have prioritized data-smart reforms that close opportunity gaps and elevate all students. The data shows that five-year-olds with Child Savings Accounts are more likely to enroll in college or job training after high school. So we created accounts for kindergarteners, starting in 5 schools.
The data shows that more learning time improves student achievement. So we extended the school day for K-through-8 students, adding a total of 120 hours or the equivalent of 20 days per year.
The data shows that children of color are tracked out of the highest academic pathways as early as elementary school. So we are expanding access to rigorous curriculum in grades 4 through 6, as well as exam school test prep.
And the data shows that a debt-free path into college increases student enrollment. So we secured free tuition for eligible BPS graduates at three community colleges.
Finally, the data shows that there is no more proven educational investment than high-quality pre-kindergarten. Public pre-K means the world to families who want to give their kids the best possible start in school. The data backs them up. But it tells us that the impact depends on well-resourced, high quality classrooms. Multiple studies have shown that the Boston Public Schools program is the gold standard. It closes achievement gaps through third grade—for students lucky enough to get a seat. No child in our city should have to depend on luck for an equal education. That's why we've increased enrollment by more than 700 students already. And it's why we have designed a plan to provide universal access, funded by pre-existing revenues from tourism taxes levied in Boston.
I want to thank Speaker [Robert] DeLeo for making high-quality early education a priority this legislative session. The Speaker's Business Advisory Commission found that high-quality pre-kindergarten increases the likelihood a student will graduate high school by 31%. And it increases the probability a student will attend college by more than 80%. Boston is ready and able to help the Commonwealth act on this data. I offer my support and my partnership to the Legislature in forging a plan to give all children the strong start they need and deserve.
We have begun building seamless education pipelines for every student, from cradle to career. The results so far are positive. High school graduation rates went up by nearly 2% last year, to a historic peak of 72.4%. But we still have years of hard work ahead, to get to where we really need to be. In that long view, a big limiting factor looms before us. It's the infrastructure. Consider: two-thirds of our school buildings were built before World War II. That means they are 80, 90, 100 years old or more. Only half of those have ever been renovated. It's been generations since a full-scale construction cycle was in place.
Just as important as their condition is their design. 20th-century buildings don't have the spaces or systems to support 21st-century learning. Too many of our schools look like the old St. Margaret's grammar school I went to. The sisters did a great job. But the desks were all in rows facing a chalkboard. And the technology sat in the A/V room down the hall. That won't cut it today.
Today's model classrooms are active, student-centered, accessible spaces, connected to worlds of knowledge far beyond their walls. They look like the innovative colleges and workplaces we want our students to be ready for. Boston is a global hub for technology and innovation. Our classrooms must prepare students to thrive in that world.
That's why I'm proud to say that over the next 10 years, we will invest $1 billion in the facilities of the Boston Public Schools. Today we release the report that guides that investment. It's called BuildBPS.
BuildBPS took a deeper dive than ever before into the facilities where our 56,000 students learn. We found that our current buildings can house about 69,000 students—if we do nothing to update their space or curriculum. But if we provided every student with the full range of resources we envision—like libraries, art rooms, STEM labs, and gyms—current capacity would be just under 56,000. If anything, we need more space. The challenge is not a history of declining enrollment. It's a history of neglect.
That's why BuildBPS will more than double our typical capital allocation for schools. We are able to do this for two reasons. First, our perfect bond ratings unlock unprecedented access to capital. Second, we have forged the City's first strong working relationship with the Massachusetts School Building Authority.
The MSBA is the agency set up by the Commonwealth to help fund public school capital projects. Boston is the leading source of the sales taxes that fund the MSBA. $1 billion generated in our city has funded new schools in the suburbs and across the state since 2004. But despite being the biggest funder, and despite having the state's biggest school district, Boston never drew in a significant way on MSBA funding.
Starting in 2014, we changed that. We focused on Boston's next flagship school, the Dearborn 6-12 STEM Academy in Roxbury. This is a project the local community wanted for years. We moved it forward by allocating $36 million in City funds and securing a matching amount from the MSBA. And we made the community a partner in the process. We agreed the Dearborn should keep its identity and its students, as it expanded from a 6-8 middle school to a 6-12 high school. We overcame bureaucratic obstacles by standing strong together in our vision. As a result, the Dearborn STEM Academy will complete construction this year and open for students in 2018. It proves we can get beyond the status quo, because better schools are worth fighting for.
We also restarted projects with the Boston Arts Academy and the Quincy Upper School, along with $23 million in repairs and updates citywide. In total, the $61 million we have tapped since 2014 is more than the entire amount the City received from the MSBA in the 10 years prior to that. In the next 10 years, BuildBPS will combine $730 million in City bond proceeds with a target of at least $270 million in matching funds from the MSBA. I look forward to working with the City Council to get the ball rolling with a new capital budget this spring.
The foundations of every investment decision will be the educational vision of Dr. Tommy Chang and the Boston Public Schools; the planning principles outlined in BuildBPS; ongoing community input; and rigorous data. But as these projects begin to unlock new learning spaces, we want BPS to be free to do what it does best, which is educate students. So we will move construction responsibilities into a new schools unit in the City of Boston's Public Facilities department. This unit will be dedicated to building, renovating, and upgrading schools. It will consolidate resources and expertise that are currently fragmented. And it will provide a single point of contact for private and public partners. This focus will allow us to finally put schools on a regular investment cycle, so they will never be neglected again.
BuildBPS is going to transform the process of school building in Boston. It's also going to improve the politics. Decisions on which projects to prioritize will never be easy. But the scale of our investment allows us to move forward together as a district.
Just as important, we've made transparent engagement and dialogue central to the process. Today's report reflects over a year of community surveys and site visits. Now we'll embark on a new chapter of engagement: to hear what every community envisions for their schools, neighborhoods, and the District as a whole. In addition to releasing the BuildBPS report, today we're launching a first-of-its-kind online digital tool, the BuildBPS Data Dashboard. This tool allows students, parents, teachers, and administrators to understand the data on their schools and use it to help decide what comes next.
Through the spring and fall, we'll hold community workshops to develop and prioritize the first round of capital investments. As that first round of projects moves forward, the BuildBPS report will be updated. It's a living document that will reflect the knowledge and innovation in the community.
Across the district, teachers, parents, and principals are already taking creative steps to modernize our schools. Two weeks ago I visited the Hernandez K-to-8 school in Roxbury. Parents and students are raising funds to transform their schoolyard into the kind of innovative outdoor learning space that should surround every single school. I'm happy to announce that in our FY2018 budget, we will allocate the funds needed to complete that project.
I'm inspired by the vision and initiative in our schools. We owe it to them to match their spirit and provide the resources they need so they can focus on teaching and learning. So as the long-term BuildBPS plan develops, we will help every school with projects they need right now. This year, we will launch a $13 million 21st-Century Schools Fund. Every school will have the opportunity to receive funding for new technology, new furniture, or whatever they need to modernize their learning spaces.
One of the planning principles of BuildBPS is to create flexible space that will allow our district to meet new potentials as our city and our world evolve. But to truly make our schools part of that evolution will require permanent, deep connections with the world beyond school walls. We need every university, hospital, business, and cultural institution in our city to be extensions of our classrooms—welcoming, inspiring, and training our students to participate fully in our city's success.
To make that vision a reality, we've put a premium on building partnerships. We created InvestBPS, an adopt-a-school program with an easy-to-use online portal. We secured new corporate partners like General Electric and Lego Education. We've expanded partnerships with philanthropies like EdVestors and the Eos Foundation. And we've grown our Summer Jobs program to get young people experience in Boston's workplaces. By the way, it's time for my annual appeal. If you are not part of the Summer Jobs Program already, email my team at email@example.com. We can't do this without your help.
Moving forward, as we build new learning spaces, we want to strengthen our ability to build new partnerships. So we've created a new post: managing director and senior advisor of external affairs. We've appointed former BPS Chief of Staff Dr. Makeeba McCreary. Makeeba has played a key role implementing BPS priorities, as well as taking the lead in public/private collaborations. That's the right combination of experience. School partnerships today have to be about both maximizing funding sources and modernizing curriculum.
Frankly, I hope everyone in our employer community is thinking along the same lines. Good public education doesn't just help students. By producing a better prepared workforce, it helps employers and strengthens our economy. So I want to appeal directly to the organizations represented here today: look into partnering with a school. It doesn't take a massive investment. For as little as $2,500, you could provide Child Savings Accounts to an entire kindergarten class.
That's just one example. We welcome employers to play from your strengths and use your imagination. You will not only improve student outcomes. You could help advance the skills needed in your workplace and industry. So check out InvestBPS.org. Better yet, talk to Makeeba today. Let's move forward together as a city whose highest priority is meeting the needs of its young people.
I want to close by reminding us what some of those needs look like.
Since the White House issued its executive orders on immigration, we've rallied to safeguard the rights and security of all our residents. I've talked about the astounding impact of immigrants on our economy, from two-thirds of our life scientists to $4.3 billion in consumer spending. Tech executives have already told me they are looking more closely at Canada for their next expansion.
But I've been thinking especially about the children and teens in our schools. Some have approached me personally to express their fear and anxiety. Remember: 30% of BPS students are still learning English as their second language. And 48% have a parent at home who is foreign born.
This is nothing new. I was one of those kids. So was Superintendent Dr. Tommy Chang; Chief of Economic Development John Barros; Director of Workforce Development Trinh Nguyen; Commissioner of Veterans' Services Giselle Sterling; and others in my administration and in this room. We went home after school to bilingual immigrant households.
Our students today, better than anyone, reflect the extraordinary strength this immigrant experience adds to America. Last year at our annual BPS Valedictorians Luncheon, I sat next to Bilal Lafta of Boston Community Leadership Academy. In his speech, he recalled fleeing Iraq as a child and living for months in a refugee camp. And he reflected on the opportunities he got in the Boston Public Schools and the Boston Public Libraries. He said "It's my family, my teachers, and my community that has given me this freedom … the privilege of living in a safe community that values our education." And he urged all of us to "look for ways to give back to that community." Now he's studying biomedical engineering at Brown University.
There are many more stories like Bilal's. And our students face many other challenges, from poverty and trauma to discrimination and disabilities. Some call these challenges the extra burdens of urban education. I call these students our most precious resource. They give us the privilege of living in a city that's constantly renewed by resilient young people from all over the world and each one of our neighborhoods.
Their diversity truly is our people-driven strength. Their talent – if we can unlock it through mobility – is our future. They are why we are investing $1 Billion in our schools, and moving toward universal pre-K. And they are the reason I have no doubt that no matter what challenges come before us, Boston will continue to thrive and continue to lead the nation and the world forward.
Thank you. God Bless the City of Boston. God Bless the United States of America.

Hi all On a machine with Service Pack 2 installed, whenever I tried to play an XHTML+SMIL file in Internet Explorer, a blue warning bar appeared on the browser asking something like "do you want to play this active content". This warning seemed completely indifferent to any of the security settings one can specify in Internet Explorer. Has this happened to anyone else? Might there be a way of stopping this? While in practice the user can choose to play the file and so is not prohibited from seeing the content, on the other hand, these warnings will discourage anyone who is just browsing from curiosity from experiencing XHTML+SMIL content, since there is no specificity whatsoever to the warning.

This is NOT a Spoof but I hope it gets published.
Recently the 'Boomerang Lunch Days' were introduced at the school in which I teach. Friday's were 'Boomerang Lunch Days'.
The idea came via an idea from Eco-clubs which are popping up in schools all over the place.
Students were asked to bring in lunches and snacks without wrappers, i.e. in plastic containers which could then be taken home, leaving much less 'garbage' in the classroom garbage cans. The garbage cans were removed from classrooms during 'nutrition breaks'.
It wasn't very successful, needless to say.
I pointed out to our Eco-teacher that we were in fact, by encouraging this, causing our Carbon Footprints to be much larger because:
a) the wrappers from food would be in the garbage cans at homes if they weren't in the garbage cans at school....so we hadn't changed the amount of garbage....just it's location.
b) the plastic and/or metal containers taken home would need to be washed thereby using more water and dish detergent -unecessarily using our precious water resource (many of our families are using water wells or have water delivered as they are not connected to city 'lines') and putting more stress on the sewerage systems (or in the cases of most families - their septic tanks). and more stress on the parents......by giving them them extra work washing out conainters, not to mention the extra work of removing food from wrappers and PUTTING it into containers.....
Result: No more Boomerang Lunches in OUR school.

I know there are many palettes out there. From neutrals, to dark ones to different crazy colours. And it can be pretty hard sometimes to choose a palette that's good, that can satisfy your needs and be kind to your wallet.
Today I thought I would show you 5 palettes that I find amazing for day to day use and that offer almost all you need for your everyday makeup look, natural or daring.
1. Too Faced Sweet Peach
2. Urban Decay Naked 2
The popularity of the Naked palettes is already undisguised, but the dilemma always remains : Naked 1, 2 or 3? Or Naked basic? Or? Well, I own the Naked 2 palette and Smoked Naked. Smoked seems to me not necessarily for an "everyday look", having very dark shades. This one instead, it again has a very good mix: open and dark colors, mate and pearls. Naked 3 seems to have shades more on the pink side and Naked 1 is quite similar to 2. My opinion? Any of the 3 is great for getting both natural and bold looks!
3. Maybelline The Blushed Nudes
Maybelline also has several "Nudes" palettes, my favorite being The blushed Nudes. It has many neutral shades and pinkish shades, but also some pretty dark colors suitable for contouring the eye. Most of the colors are pearly , with only a matte shade, but honestly it does not bother me, because there are not glittering colors, they have only a fine pearly texture. The quality of the make-up is good and lasts very well, especially if you apply a make-up base. And it's a very affordable pallet.
4. L'Oreal La Palette Nude
L'Oreal's has just released a new palette, La Palette Nude (I made a mini review, if you will, you can see it here). I like it first because it is very compact: ideal for traveling. To be serious, who wants to take dozens of products with him on vacation? The colors are warm, a little bit pinkish and again it has a very good shade mix. I would say it only misses the matte black 😀
5. NYX Ultimate
A very interesting pallet: 16 shades. Beige, browns, grays and even dark blue and green forest. It seems to me a fairly varied mix that gives you the opportunity to create various looks. As a pallet it's an affordable one and it is also quite small, suitable for the voyage.
These are the five palettes that I find helpful for your everyday makeup. I wanted to have a mix of higher-end products with some drugstore ones, to give you solutions for all budgets 😀 I hope that today's post is helpful to you and if you have other pallet suggestions, please do not hesitate to leave a comment!

Very nice palettes! 🙂
Felicitări pentru articol( blog, postări….),paletele prezentate sunt pentru gustul / bugetul tuturor.
Chiar vroiam sa – mi cumpar o paleta de la NYX, dar nu ma puteam hotărâ, acum știu pe care o voi achiziționa.
Succes în continuare și cat mai multe proiecte.

I've decided to start a new feature, where every Friday I gather a few links I was inspired by that week. They may have a theme, like this one does! or be completely random.
I have been obsessed with pom-poms since November, so here are some projects I love, but haven't gotten around doing yet.
1. Pom-pom napkin rings. How much fun are these? Just change the colours to match your party.
2. Pom-pom lei. Completely brilliant and something I'd never thought of. I think I'll make one and just wear it around the house.
3. Pom-pom bookmarks. I love reading, I love pom-poms, perfect.
4. Pom-pom rug. I love this. It's so cute and cosy and I want to make one. But… where do I put it?
5. Hanging pom-pom text. Maybe not love, but something, a giant pom pom ampersand maybe?
Any pom-pom links you'd like to add?

This past November, we did not get Thanksgiving dinner. Our youngest son was hurt in a sporting accident and we spent the entire day in the emergency room. As a result of breaking his nose and almost every bone in his face, he was on a soft food diet for awhile. He asked that I would make "Thanksgiving Dinner" once he could eat it again. I decided to try making these homemade rolls from a recipe I found in an old "Midwest Living" magazine. They were delicious and surprisingly only 3 points +.
Makes 16 rolls ( each roll = 3 points +)
- 1/2 c. warm water
- 2 T. sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/2 c. mashed cooked sweet potato or canned pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- 3 T. butter, softened
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 c. white whole-wheat flour ( I used King Arthur)
- 1-1-3 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 T. melted butter
In a large bowl, mix warm water, 1 T. sugar and yeast. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir in remaining sugar, sweet potato ( or pumpkin, eggs, softened butter and salt. Gradually stir in whole wheat flour. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining all-purpose flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic. ( 6-8 minutes). You can also mix your dough with a stand mixer if you have a dough hook attachment.
Shape dough into a ball. Place in a large bowl coated with nonstick spray; turn once to grease surface. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled ( about one hour). I usually let my dough rise on top of my stove with the oven turned on.
Punch dough down; turn onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Spray a 13 x 9 inch baking pan, Shape dough into 16 balls; place in pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter. Serve warm.

I made this cabinet pretty inexpensively using 1x3s and 1/4″ plywood. Next week I'll work on the top and fence. Support free woodworking videos: …
Build a router table cabinet.
Isn't it better to leave the back top open for cross ventilation so the router won't over heat being enclosed? Just my opinion.
I feel like in the year and a half since you posted this, your design skills have gotten much better. From your new videos it looks like you have fine-tuned yourself to better construct things (though this cabinet is beautiful!) Specifically things like 5:07… I think if you built that today the drawers wouldn't have that notch 😉
Very fun to watch!
Just got a router for Christmas… I like the table you've created. I'm definitely drawing inspiration from it
Very nice tanle. It has givin me some ideas for a table saw stand
Hello Steve
Can you tell me a little about the jig that you used with the router on the side panel of your router table?
Thank you
Hello Steve! A litle question about the drawers. It seem like you could build more drawers on this cabinet. The drawerfronts are so high you could have more drawers behind them? Any reason for not do that?
My apologies for poor language!
Greatings from Norway and thanks for your great channel!
Hi Steve, Great project!! Do you happen to have measured drawings for this project and the associated top and fence? I have tried to find them but have been unsuccessful. Thanks and keep up the great work!! Truly an inspiration!!
Steve I'm new to woodworking and I REALLY want to make this router cabinet, but can't find the plan's. Could you please for us newbies to woodworking tell me where I can download the plans to build this? PLEASE!!!
Do you have measured drawings for router table
Love your how to video, This is the most economical way to build a router table.
Are there any plans or diagrams or measurements available?
Really great work!!, and video too
Yeah .. Its really good and I gather some ideas how it will be nicely done. Thanks for the video FUN TO WATCH.. 😀
I hope you have a plan on it because I love to try to do it.
Wow! What type of plywood/solid woods did you use??
Thinking about what if you incorporate the idea of the switch to use on a entertainment stand so that when you leave the house out of the room wat ever you can hit the switch and viola no power waste while your gone…. plus the basic shape is already stand like just make the actual shelfs/openings on the side cut slits in the back for vent.
I really like the idea that the electricity goes INTO the table, protects the eyes from wire clutter.
How long does it take to build something like this?
do you still have the sketchup plans available for this router table?
dis is roung nid mor tink
bonito, limpio y practico
norm called and wants to know where your safety glasses are
A router-table is probably going to be our next "big" project. This video series is very helpful!
Great Mr Ramsey. You have a very good knack of saying things
Steve, I don't know if you read posts to your older videos but If you do read this, It would be nice to at least have the overall dimensions of the carcass less the casters and table top. ie, height, width, and depth.. I'll be able to do the rest from those figures I will be using my old table top and router plate. I also almost completed the router lift that you made as well. I've got a 3 1/4hp Porter-Cable motor to install into it.
Nice work Steve!
hi guys,
what is the name of the instrument that lets you drill holes on the side, or at an angle? The one he is using.
royallhawaii overall dimensions H W D would be great
Just figuring out a size for the cabinet will it accommodate a 24" deep x 36" wide router top?
Wow! Your videos have come a long way, haven't they? I pick up some helpful tips from you by seeing the process. Thanks! ~Chris.
I would never use pocket hole joints on a tool they do not take long term vibration well
This is definitely one of your better, more useful, projects! I'm inspired to build one now.
Great video, I'm going to make one
is this real natural wood?
Wouldn't the high vibration from the router weaken the structure if it's just held using glue and pins?
where do I get the plans to make this router table
please someone help
I cant find them on the woodworking for mere mortals website
what am I doing wrong
Hi Steve, Could you provide plans for this awesome router table?
To bad you dont have a sketch up drawing from this. atleast your YT video is very detailed.
What are the rough dimentions from you cabintes (individual)?
Greetings from the Netherlands!!!
edit found it: 34″ wide by about 26″ deep 42″ high
Greetings Mr. Ramsey. I was wondering if you could do a mere minutes explaining how you wired your switch? I'm aweful with electrical and any help is appreciated.
That's pretty cool. It gave me some ideas for something similar. …Thanks Man!
I agree, pocket hole joinery is very fast, convenient and strong; especially with glue.Probably the best invention ever, since sliced bread.
nice job.
great video!! thanks! I build my router table last week together with the fence like in youre other video. I am loving it!!
Is there a follow up to this video?

the costume madness continues with one of the kinkiest photosets I've seen this year – Russian big boobs doll Samanta Lily aka Sexy_Lovely_Sam just published an exclusive pictorial and video of her as a kinky nurse to SamantaLily.eu.. now, we all know Russia is quite a traditional country that doesn't like when people are messing around with religion, and this only makes this update hotter!.. not to mention that cheeky smile Sam is hiding in almost every photo and through the whole video now available @ her official website:
it's no secret that cute Sam is all about having fun with her perfect big breasts, and this scene is just another way of her to show how fucking fabulous those massive naturals are.. oh, and she's not shy about showing that tight round butt of hers either!.. anyways, do yourself a favor and join SamantaLily.eu right now for tons of exclusive photos and videos this incredible babe next door has been shooting over the last few years since WE discovered her (yup, we did)… also, make sure you keep an eye on BoobsterCams.com for a chance to see her live on cam, if you miss her regular members only shows @ SamantaLily.eu …

Fremont Divorce Attorney Discusses Notice of Divorce
Deciding to get a divorce is a difficult decision, sometimes made more difficult by the fact that you may no know where your spouse is to tell them that you want to get a divorce. This happens more than people think. One spouse moves away or leaves the other spouse without telling them where they went or for how long. Since a divorce petition needs to be served on the other party or the other party must have notice of the petition, this problem can cause an obstacle to getting a divorce. In this instance, notice to your spouse can often be satisfied through "service by publication". This means that you must publicize your divorce petition in a regularly circulated newspaper or magazine. This process takes about 3 months in order for service be considered proper. To get the court to accept this form of service, you'll have to prove that you have made a diligent effort to locate your spouse and by "diligent", we mean more than just a few phone calls.
Once you've exhausted all of your efforts and received approval of the court, you can publish an ad in a local newspaper notifying your missing spouse of the divorce proceedings in process. Notice that the ad is run after the divorce is filed and the choice of which newspaper is typically left up to you, although you may want to verify this with the court clerk as there may be a recommended paper typically used by the court or a requirement as to the size of the paper's circulation for such matters.
Assuming your missing spouse does not respond within a given timeframe, your divorce would then be granted as a default judgment. The court would grant you a divorce and decide all of the terms of the divorce in the manner which you have requested.
If you have questions about divorce, child custody, or child support, or any other family law matter, the attorneys at Sagaria Law can help. We have a team of family law attorneys experienced in all types of family law cases, including divorce, paternity, support and property division. We offer a free thirty minute consultation, either over the phone or in person at any of our six Northern California locations: Redwood City, Fremont, San Jose, Sacramento, and Salinas.

I may hear boo's from this, but I am weighing up the new iPhone (as in the rumoured one) or the HTC magic. I have yet to use an android phone, so have no experience of the OS which is what's making me doubt the Magic a little. Anyway, just thought i'd say 'Hello'.

2005 St. Hallett Old Block Shiraz
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
- Cellar 5 - 8 years (2014-2017)
- Closure: Cork
An outstanding Old Block, but somewhat a departure from the more robust traditional blends of this wine. This has been in part due to the Eden Valley component, which has created a palate profile which may be likened to the very best Henschke reds. The average age of the vines used in this Shiraz are between 60 & 100 years old with 78% of the fruit coming from vineyards located in the Barossa and 22% sourced from Eden Valley vineyards. The Barossa Valley component gives the wine its voluptuous character, whilst fruit from the Eden Valley vineyard contributes texture and structure. The wine was matured for 20 months in a combination new to three year old French oak.
Vintage Conditions: The good winter rains of 2004, followed by a warm spring and mild summer set up a great ripening season for the 2005 vintage. The 2004-2005 season was kind with no extremes of heat, cold or wet which ensured great uniformity in vine balance and resultant flavour development. Healthy vines and ideal ripening conditions produced intense colour, with great structure, richness and balance.
A classy, sophisticated Shiraz.Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Superbly perfumed top notes of violets, dark cherries, blackberry, liquorice allsorts and spice. There is a touch of new and old leather on the palate overlaid with fine cedar oak. Flavours of dark cherries and blackberry over spice and blackpepper are supported by a very spicy back palate. Perfect balance with fine tannin structure.
Cellar 5-8 years.
Alc/Vol: 14.5%

The objectives have been placed and we have deployed. Objectives on the french side are clearly visible. German objectives are on the hill on the top right, and behind the wheat field in the center.
Somuas idle, ready to move out.
A mass of Pioneers, artillery, and German tanks.
Panzer IIs and 38(t)s take up the German right flank.
Panhards look out for the enemy.
The French rumble forward!
Hotchkiss H39s move towards the small village.
The other H39 platoon moves up to secure the ford.
Pioneers dig in on the high ground.
Somuas move into the village.
Somuas move up to the wall the Panhards recced. The Panhards withdraw to the wheat field.
10.5cm Artillery rains on the French, but does no damage.
38(t)s move up and take long range shots on the Somuas.
Pioneers rush forward to put pressure on the French.
8 somuas open up on the 10.5cm Battery.
More Somuas firing on the artillery. One gun is knocked out.
The Panhards move into the town.
And draw the ire of the artillery! One Panhard is bailed.
H39s open fire with their MGs on the Pioneers. The Panhards hold fire.
Somuas discourage the Germans from taking the woods on the French left.
More German Pioneers move forward to secure the ford.
38(t)s engage in a long range duel with H39s and underestimate the French armor. One 38(t) burns!
The Panhards reposition to the right to support the H39s in the long range duel.
Somuas line up shots on the 38(t)s. To the right of the village, Somuas continue to open fire on the 10.5cm battery, eventually knocking out all 4 guns.
The H39s knock out another 38(t) at long range! The Company Commander and Panhards move up to assist.
Once the 10.5cm Artillery is neutralized (the HQ and staff team do stick around- so they aren't destroyed yet!), the Somuas and H39s blaze away on the pioneers.
Panzers burn in the distance.
Two Panzers on the hill burn, and a third is bailed out.
The German right flank is being overrun!
French Commanders' view.
Panzer IIs tried to get sneaky and flank a Somua, but immediately regret the decision! Have I yet mentioned how hot Jaime's dice were?
German pioneers push far into the French territory!
The two remaining 38(t)s realize they can't win the shootout and pull back.
French armor surrounds the encroaching pioneers.
Somuas and H39s push through the village with objectives in sight.
H39s move into the wheat.
Panzer IIs are picked apart by the Somuas.
On the right Pioneers flee in the face of insane amounts of MG fire.
The Company Commander stopped the Panzer IIs cold.
On the right, the French have won the armor shootout and routed the pioneers.
Somuas trap the 38(t)s on the French left flank in a clearing in the woods.
On the right, the Panzer 38(t)s get ballsy and rush forward scoring their first kill. A Panhard AMD goes up in smoke! The remaining Panhards are feeling confident and do not breakoff.
H39s push across the ford. The French are in full pursuit now!
H39s backed up by Somuas race forward with MGs blazing. The H39s assault and knock out the first line of the defending Pioneers. The others are too far back and the assault ends.
The Panhards again utilize the road to redeploy, reinforcing the push up the center.
The Somuas make a final push into the trapped 38(t)s hidey hole.
The German objective is barely contested.
The 38(t)s open up on the H39s but do no damage. Then they fail their stormtroopers move.
Another Pioneer platoon rushes forward and assaults the H39s, knocking one out! The other 2 immediately breakoff. The pioneers consolidate forward, but can't quite breakthrough on the Somuas.
The 38(t)s flank the Somuas, and stormtrooper into the woods!
Somuas, H39s, and Panhards fill the pioneers with MG rounds.
H39s and Somuas assault. One platoon breaks, and the other falls back.
The Germans desperately send the Artillery battery commander forward to contest!
The Somuas do little damage in return fire! The 38(t)s in turn brew up one Somua.
The French hold the objective solidly. MGs keep the pioneers at bay, and the German company commander is knocked out.
On the other flank the 38(t)s including the company commander go up in smoke.
At this point the Germans have lost their armored company, and their pioneers are battered. Tom and Joe decide to call it.
CLOSING THOUGHTS: Holy moly, I didn't expect the French to perform so admirably! The one-man turret definitely sucks- the trick is to just move up en masse, and put yourself in good positions so that if the enemy moves they will only get ROF 1 to your full ROF. Whew, I think we were all stunned at just how effective those Somuas really were.

Is is possible to do intentional spherical overcorrections with Allegretto Wave Eye-Q when ablation is wavefront guided?
I've heard nomogram adjustments are possible only when ablation is standard (not custom).
RObyRob wrote:1.) Does surgeon have to enter any numbers (diopters, angles,...) when surgery is wavefront guided or he leaves it all to aberrometer?
RObyRob wrote:2.) There is this great surgeon, but for some reason she does only LASEK, even though she does also have epikeratome. Why do you think she does that?
RObyRob wrote:3.) Should I demand from her epi-LASIK? She says that both methods have equal results.
RObyRob wrote:4.) What is the correct use of IR pupilometer? Do you have to put it on the eye or just hold it near the eye? Must the other eye be closed? Why do some surgeons measure only in dim light and not in total darkness?
RObyRob wrote:5.) Should I have wavefront guided surgery?
Two doctors told me NO because:
- new technology,
RObyRob wrote:- measurements not reproducible,
RObyRob wrote:- causes more damage in case of decentered ablation
RObyRob wrote:One doctor said YES:
- it gives better vision
RObyRob wrote:1.) Can I ask the surgeon how many diopters of myopia and astigmatism will wavefront guided laser remove? Or he doesn't have this information because it's wavefront guided?
RObyRob wrote:2.) So it's actually possible that some surgeon has better results with LASEK than epi-LASIK? That doesn't make sense since epi-LASIK is improvement of LASEK. Could there be any financial reasons in background (less expenses with LASEK)? She charges the same for both methods.
RObyRob wrote:3.) So you think she considers suction ring more dangerous than trephine blade and alcohol? I have more fear from the second.
RObyRob wrote:6.) You didn't answer question 6. Forgot?
RObyRob wrote:6.) Why does wavefront guided surgery take more tissue? Some say it takes less because it takes only what is neccessary.
It takes more compared to what? Wavefront optimized or standard? Does "more tissue" mean the tissue in peripheral area (to reduce spherical aberration)?
RObyRob wrote:1.) Can I get a copy of informed consent signed by the surgeon? Just in case something goes terribly wrong that is not mentioned in there so I could sue him then... Do surgeons usually give this to patients?
RObyRob wrote:2.) They said they use a LASEK trephine blade with 8mm diameter but that the ablation zone is 9mm! Do you have any idea how this is possible?
RObyRob wrote:3.) Informed consent says that night problems are only temporary and go away in few weeks. How is this possible? Can surgery induced HOA (like spherical aberration) go away after time?

Calendar in the Primary Grades
Today, I want to share a little about how I use calendar time in my classroom.
I hope that if you're not currently implementing a calendar time, you'll reconsider next year. In just a few minutes, you can get in some great math vocabulary, number sense activities, and hit some social studies standards!
If you would like to see more ideas from my classroom, be sure to follow me on Instagram {I post there a lot!} and Facebook!
Now, be sure to check out the amazing bright ideas below. I'm sure you'll find lots to help finish your year on a high note!
12 comments
Your calendar time is almost exactly like mine!! I think I will add the ten frames for next year! And P.S. Calendar is also one of our social studies standards and we actually just did a lesson on it today ;)ReplyDelete
I love your calendar time set up...it covers a lot but isn't too much! Where do you get the clips for your calendar and what are they called? I've been looking for some but I'm not sure what to call them! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Lesson Plans & Lattes
Thank you!!!ReplyDelete
This was inspiring to read, thank you! Last year was my third year teaching kindergarten after having taught 2nd, and I was a bit confused by the common core shift in math, and wasn't sure how to integrate calendar time. I love how you set up your calendar time, will have to try some of your ideas next year!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for sharing! I love your bulletin board and appreciate how you explained your calendar routine. I am a new teacher starting kindergarten in August, and will be writing down your routine to follow! I have been looking for an alternative to the unsightly pocket chart, and am so happy to learn about the sticky clips! So much cuter!ReplyDelete
Where did you get the cute pockets for the days of the week (today tomorrow and yesterday)? Also are the numbers laminated strips of paper? Love the entire set up! Thanks.ReplyDelete
Loved this post and all the pictures! Would love to replicate for my new first grade classroom! Are you willing to share the file for you big numbers and patterns pieces (days of week and yesterday / today / tomorrow)....please!! :-) Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Love it all! When you make the number on the tens frame, do you count the weekend days when you come back on Monday?ReplyDelete
This is a great post and just what I needed to redo my calendar center. What did you use to hang up your calendar pieces? I've been looking for them, but I think having the name and where you got them at would help.ReplyDelete
i LOVE how you write on the calendar for the month! I mean... duh! so simple! lolReplyDelete

SingleHop has launched a free virtual private cloud environment to protect VeeamCloud Connect Backup customers from infrastructure failures preventing them from accessing or restoring their Veeam cloud backups. The SafetyNet environment will be available within 24 hours of a disaster, and can be used as a production site for free for 30 days, SingleHop announced Wednesday.
With its claimed higher recovery time and point objective (RTPO), SafetyNet is meant as an emergency preparedness compliment to Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), SingleHop said. DRaaS from Veeam was launched by SingleHop at the beginning of 2016, extending the partnership between the two companies, as well as SingleHop's play for the business continuity market, which has been a major growth area for the company.
Jordan Jacobs, vice president of products at SingleHop said:
We designed SafetyNet for the millions of businesses that understand the value of backing up data offsite but either want an extra layer of infrastructure protection or do not yet have the resources for a more robust disaster recovery tool. As a partner to our customers, we never want to see downtime threaten their businesses' survival. SafetyNet can not only help to mitigate those worst-case scenarios, it initiates conversations around next steps for bulletproofing business continuity plans across the board.
SingleHop cites a Ponemon Institute statistic pegging the average cost per minute of downtime at $7,900 in 2013, and rising quickly. The company also points out the potential for natural or data center disaster to render backups unavailable, and hence expressing the importance of robust backup options.

The Selmunett lizard (Podarcis filfolensis ssp. kieselbachi) of Malta has been extinct since 2005, contrary to a government report that claims it still exists, the Nature Trust (Malta) announced this week. The lizard existed only on Selmunett Island, part of the archipelago that makes up the nation of Malta. Despite research that says the species is extinct, the lizard still appears on the Malta Environment & Planning Authority's (MEPA) most recent "State of the Environment" report, published in March.
Naturalist Arnold Sciberras blames the decline and disappearance of the Selmunett lizard on invasive rats, which have grown in number on the island in the past two decades. Sciberras and his brother Jeffrey have studied the once-common lizards for years and noticed that the population began crashing in the mid-1990s. The last time they saw the lizards was in 2003, when they were able to find just 30 of the animals. "MEPA doesn't want to acknowledge that its conservation attempts have failed in some cases," Sciberras told MaltaToday.
Nature Trust (Malta) used the occasion of World Environment Day to talk about the Selmunett lizard and several other Maltese species that are currently at risk. The freshwater Maltese crab known as il-qabru (Potamon fluviatile), for example, is losing habitat to construction projects and populations have been hurt by the use of toxic pesticides. Other portions of its habitat were damaged by a recent oil spill.
Another species at risk in the region is the Maghrebian bat (Myotis punicus), which recently had a road built on top of one of its primary cave habitats.
Covering an area of just 300 square kilometers and home to a population of around 400,000, Malta is one of the world's most densely populated countries. According to Nature Trust (Malta) and the Malta National Statistics Office, 64 percent of the island nation is "unfavorable" to wildlife.

You'll Never Guess What Jamie Oliver Is Taxing His Customers For
Planning to dine at one of Jamie Oliver's popular restaurants soon? Well you might want to hold off on ordering any sugary drinks or be prepared to pay 10p ($.16USD) more for the privilege. The English celebrity chef has been on a global mission to save the world from their unhealthy ways for years, from his food-focused television shows to his recent "food revolution" campaign for better education, and he believes the saccharine sin should be taxed just like tobacco. So in typical Jamie style, he's taking things into his own hands by slapping an extra charge on the declious drink. The Nottingham Post reports the sweet surcharge will be donated to charity and is expected to raise £80,000 ($126,657 USD) over the next year. This idea was already implemented in the US last year when Berkeley, California became the first city to pass a soda tax and all sugary drinks now feature a one-cent-per-ounce charge.
Create healthier meals at home with Jamie's cookbooks below.
Would a soda tax stop you from buying sugary drinks? Let us know in the comments below.

The Cardiovascular Medical Research Education Fund (CMREF) was instituted to establish state of the art resources to advance the research in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), as the result of settlements of PAH patients with manufacturers of Dexfenfluramine. The CMREF then organized a unique North American network, the Pulmonary Hypertension Breakthrough Initiative (PHBI), dedicated to comprehensive biobanking of human lungs with PAH and controls, supported by a detailed clinical annotation of the accrued specimens.
Having started in 2006, the PHBI successfully developed a novel and unique infrastructure, whose success relied on the active participation of a highly integrated network of university-based sites with extensive expertise in each of the spheres of competency –excellence in clinical care of PAH (including patient accruals), lung transplantation, pathology, genetics, genomics, and cell isolation. The resulting impact of the PHBI in PAH research has been significant, aided by the implementation of a policy for dispersal of samples and interaction with participating investigators.
With funding from the NHLBI through an R24, Resource-Related Research Projects grant, the PHBI continues to promote research that will advance translational efforts in lung vascular disease.
The PPVCC has served as the cell core for the PHBI, isolating pulmonary artery endothelial, smooth muscle and adventitial cells from the explanted lungs of patients with IPAH undergoing lung transplantation as well as from un-used ("failed") donor lungs. Through validated procedures and rigorous quality control, the PPVCC is able to provide investigators with pure populations of proliferating lung vascular cells from the various arterial segments (main and types I-III).

How much is too much??
If you love roses, gardening, anything vintage, antique and most diffenently old, you are in the right place. We now have loads in common. My grandmother had the most beautiful rose garden and having lived in downtown Sacto. all my young life, I was surrounded by roses. We were down the street from the Capitol building and Capital Park. Not far from there was the McKinley Park, both having gorgeous, come to Sacto. roses gardens. They are still there today, even more beautiful if that is possible. Roses of all colors and petal size. Something that should not be missed if visiting. If roses are not your flower of choice, how about Camelias. The bushes are so high, you could kink your neck straining to see the tops. Such a lovely flower and no smell. What were the heavens thinking??!! I suppose when I create something using rose fabric, it takes me back to a simplier time, a time of running barefoot, eating popsicles playing hopschotch and just being a kid with no worries or cares.......oh, the good ole days.........remember when?

I've been blogging since August. Too much information? You can put out too much -- if you blog on and on like a huge run on sentence!! I have been to blogs like that and they lose me before I get halfway through - because the writer has lost their whole train of thought and train of the post.
As for what you are talking about -- anyone can "google" something and end up on your blog, but as long as you are being sensible (as you have been from what you said in this post), no harm (and you can delete comments you don't want).
Cyber space is vast and it's really just being sensible...no need to be paranoid. You are here to talk about life, your love of arts/crafts and share your work. It's pretty safe all things considered!!

Sherry/cherie is right. Don't be paranoid, but be cautious. NO addresses or pix of young children. Watch grammar and punctuation also. It's a lost art in this day of cyber space and instant messaging. I use a completely different set of rules when IMing and posting to blogs or letters. Just be cautious, honey!

Sherry/Cherie, thankyou for the comments. My family warns me about posting too much information out there in space, so it's always in the back of my mind. This will not keep me from sharing though. I have to admit, bloging is fun, gee, where does the time go??!!

I love blogging. I have had a website posted (and still do) for years that has my contact information on it.
I feel perfectly safe in the knowledge that, because I choose to focus only on people who will use the information for good, I do not attract the kinds of people who would use it otherwise into my experience.
Some people are very focused in their blogs like we are and others use them to spill out every thought they have. I prefer the magical, positive and creative blogs like this and bid the others a kind thanks but no thanks.

Many parenting gurus today claim punishment is off-limits. Punishment, they say, is unacceptable. They justify themselves by arguing that punishment-usually yelling, or hitting, cause "blame, shame, or pain," in the child, and should therefore be assiduously avoided.
It is true that yelling and hitting cause all of these things. And the truth is, even if they didn't cause some form of pain to the child, they would still be ineffective, since generally a parent who engages in these behaviors is out of control. A parent who is out of control, is by definition going to be ineffective in disciplining their child. When your child misbehaves, your reaction shouldn't be a spur of the moment knee kick in the dark. It should be a well-thought out response based on your family's values, your child's personality and maturity level, and the act itself.
But one thing that the parenting gurus fail to take into account is that even when you tell your child you are unhappy with their behavior, the child experiences pain. Even if you say to them, "I'm really disappointed you did that," they'll still feel shame.
The truth is, the fact that they feel a little shame, or some emotional pain, is a good thing. Using natural and logical consequences may be effective, but the real reason they work is because your child loves you, and knows that you love him. His surety of your love is the single most potent factor in wanting to change for the better.
So when you tell your child how saddened you are by their behavior, because you know they can do better, they're going to feel a little bad about it. Of course, different children will show different responses depending on their personality: some will hang their heads down, others will look off into the distance, and some will break down crying no matter how nicely you say it.
That's okay. They feel that way because they care what you think of them, and they want your love and respect. They're sorry that they've done something to lose it, even temporarily, and if you have a good relationship with your child, they'll do just about anything to get your respect back.
The problem becomes when you have a poor relationship with your child. Perhaps you haven't invested time in raising your child, finding it easier to be busy with work, hobbies, or just "stuff." Maybe you have a hard time accepting who your child is, and your child knows it. It could be you've done everything you can for your child, assuming that she realizes it was all for her. She may not realize it.
If you don't spend any time with your child-just because they are who they are-or if you don't take the time to show day to day how much you care about them, then don't assume they know you love them. And when you don't have a good relationship with your child, then the shame or the pain cause the exact opposite reaction: rebellion, power struggles, and anger.
In their eyes, they've already lost your love, so why should they change?
As a parent, your ultimate goal is to ensure that your children can face life's challenges without the expectation of positive or negative consequences. If you have a good relationship, you won't need to use shame or pain against your child. If you don't have a good relationship…then get working on it.

BELVIDERE — A new Chrysler Group LLC supplier is opening up shop in Belvidere with plans to hire more than 200 workers by year's end.
BELVIDERE — A new Chrysler Group LLC supplier is opening up shop in Belvidere with plans to hire more than 200 workers by year's end.
International Automotive Components, or IAC for short, is opening a 172,000-square-foot facility at 857 Landmark Drive. IAC is a supplier of vehicle interiors, and the Belvidere facility will be a sequencing plant, where parts from a dozen other IAC facilities will be assembled and shipped to the Chrysler plant for final vehicle assembly.
IAC spokesman Dave Ladd said the company needed to establish a footprint closer to Chrysler's assembly plant as it begins production of a new line of, as-yet-to-be-named cars next year.
"We are at a point where we have substantial content, particularly in 2012, that we will be delivering to Chrysler and that warrants us having a sequencing plant there," he said. "Proximity is everything in this business. With the size of the parts we're talking about, the closer we are, the more money we can save."
About a dozen workers are already employed and working to start operations in Belvidere. Hiring for 20 to 25 technical and salaried employees will begin at a Wednesday job fair at the Clock Tower Resort and Conference Center. The company will begin recruiting for 200 hourly positions this summer and proceed in phases through the end of the year, Ladd said.
The plant will be running two eight-hour shifts beginning in January 2012.
Ladd said he didn't know what cars Chrysler would be producing in Belvidere next year. Right now, workers in Belvidere assemble the Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot, but the company will phase those out beginning in 2012 and begin building new vehicles based on the designs of Italy's Fiat SpA, which manages Chrysler. When Chrysler introduced its last new line of vehicles in Belvidere, in 2006, a host of new suppliers opened near the plant and began hiring scores of workers.
The addition of 200 jobs is good sign for the region's labor economy, which has been on a steady improvement for a year, largely on the back of a manufacturing expansion at local facilities. Belvidere's unemployment rate was 14 percent in April, the most recent month for which data is available, down from its high of 24.1 percent in January 2010.

Decisions and Fate, do they ever go together?
And if they do, then why to me, do they bother?
My fate has never given me way,
My decisions have never made my day
A wholly crap of dependency lies,
Around a pile of suffering truth and crumbs of lies;
My smallest problems have seemed always too big,
My little heart has to always make the toughest jig;
Whenever I long to see the sunshine,
The darkness gives its horror sign
As soon everything seems to be fine,
All turns away as if it was never mine…
They say, "Every cloud has a Silver lining"
I know this, still my heart's pining
For things which are small, but seem too big
And not for problems which actually need to fix…Really Quick!!!
Why, what and how to grasp the life's Policy?
When, what and where to look for that craving intimacy
Of Love, of care, which seems to be missing somewhere?
A mind too silent, but always thinking like a running hare.
Well, my life's actual leader is finally me…
The one who designs and executes each policy…
But then the reason why it's so complicated,
Is the way it has been interpreted…
Like a team goes haywire when not coached well,
I am the coach of my life, the one who casts the spell,
A spell to make the magic happen,
A spell to bring that mysterious climax
Finally it's me, who has the power and control,
Or to just let it go waste!!

Yesterday, Google revealed a new search feature called Google Instant. The feature allows search results to be displayed as the user types and aims to predict the user's search query before completion in order to make search faster and more personalised. The question is how will this affect search results and organic web site rankings.
Google says about its new functionality:
"Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. We are pushing the limits of our technology and infrastructure to help you get better search results, faster. Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type."
The change will not only affect the speed at which search would be carried out, but it will affect users' search behaviours by predicting and offering queries according their search history. This will work to guide the user and will take very place fast in order to offer users a quicker and more effective search experience.
From a user's point of view it is an exciting change. However, among search marketers, there are concerns about the impact on SEO and optimisation works and how the search community will be able to predict and consistently delivery their content and the products and services that they promote to potential and existing user-groups.
Google claims that the changes brought on by Google Instant will not impact the ranking of the search results. However, it seems clear that when users across the globe start seeing search results as they type search rank and search results will have to impacted, as real-time feedback will play a significant role and thereby possibly changing the users search behaviours or even their initial search.
Search marketers have traditionally focused on users' search behaviours as a guide to optimising their web sites' content, meta- information, etc. With the entry of Google Instant, search becomes even more about real-time action and one result is that no two users will see the same search results anymore. This will make the search marketer's job, to communicate the desirable messages to the user, much more difficult.
Luckily search marketers have learnt to be highly adaptive; thanks largely to the constant flux of change in our world and will discover patterns and ways to get through to target users as these become clearer. For starters, increasing the frequency of ongoing social media and social media optimisation will have to play an even more central role in order to achieve high organic visibility. Initially, this may counter some of the potentially negative effects this instant search will have. But one cannot yet tell for sure.
What we can say is that once again, the search engine marketing landscape is changing and the optimisation game with it. Real-time search is a fact of life and social media and blended search will play a more central role, more quickly.
At the end of the day, Google and the other search engines are changing search in order to deliver better, more relevant content to the user faster and more effectively than before. In effect that should make everyone better off and in time it will. Changing the way results are displayed will temporarily alter tactical implementation, perhaps, but the basics of SEO still remain the same; a website, in order to rank well for their product, service or message needs to offer unique and relevant content; be user- and search engine friendly; and perhaps more importantly use the social landscape of search to spread the message.
If the resulting technique sounds like the way business was done for generations, long before the advent of the internet was part of the marketing game, well, it is because in principle it is the same. Offer products and services with messages that people like, and they will reward you by tell their friends, who will tell theirs and on and on it goes. Word-of-mouth – the internet way.

An "incredibly limited" number of LittleBigPlanet fans will be invited to join a LittleBigPlanet 3 beta next month, community manager Steven Isbell has revealed.
Posting on LBPCentral, Isbell explained that the private beta will be launching in August and that Sony had "hand-picked a small number of you brilliantly creative folks to participate". Selected players will be contacted directly through LBPCentral, Isbell suggests, and "only a small number… will actually receive an invitation".
The beta will be available on both PS3 and PS4 – and while Isbell has previously revealed that the game is heading to PS3, Sony has yet to formally announce the game's last-gen SKU.
LittleBigPlanet 3 releases on PS4 this November. A PS3 date has yet to be confirmed.

ESA selects THOR and 2 other M4 mission proposals for a study phase - BIRA-IASB is involved
10 June 2015 - In August 2014, a call for the fourth medium-size (M4) mission opportunity was issued in the frame of ESA's Cosmic Vision Programme with launch foreseen in 2025. ESA received 27 proposals in response to this call, amongst which also THOR (Turbulence Heating ObserveR) in which the Space Physics division at BIRA-IASB is involved. After a thorough evaluation of the scientific and programmatic aspects of all candidate missions, THOR was recommended as one of the three mission concepts to proceed to a Phase 0 study, which is the first official phase of a mission. In mid 2017, ESA will finally decide which of the three will go ahead.
The THOR mission
The science objectives of THOR are related to plasma turbulence, one of the most fundamental processes in the universe, but also one of the least well understood. Turbulence occurs over a very wide range of spatial scales and leads to the dissipation of energy, often resulting in non-equilibrium states. The two main environments in which plasma turbulence is studied are the solar wind and the magnetosheath plasma.
The THOR mission will use a sun-pointing spinning spacecraft, launched by an Ariane 6.2 rocket from Kourou around 2025. The nominal mission duration is 3 years. The satellite will carry a suite of 10 instruments for in-situ measurement of electric and magnetic fields and the characteristics of electrons and ions. The primary challenge is to acquire these data with very high time resolution; hence the need for appropriate instrumentation. THOR takes advantage of the experience obtained with other missions such as CLUSTER, resulting in a high level of technological readiness of the proposed instrumentation.
The Principal Investigator (PI) of the mission is Andris Vaivads of IRF (Institutet För Rymdfysik) Uppsala in Sweden.
BIRA-IASB's contribution
To study the solar wind turbulence, a cold solar wind ion spectrometer called CSW is proposed by the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP), Toulouse (PI Benoît Lavraud) with significant contribution from BIRA-IASB (Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy), Brussels, with Johan De Keyser as co-PI. CSW will consist of two main units:
The latter will be provided by the engineering department of BIRA-IASB in collaboration with industrial partners.

Twinesuns are a band from Switzerland that plays a mixture of ambient, drone and doom metal and this is a review of their double album "The Emperor Never Ended" which will be released in 2017 by Pelagic Records.
Distorted drones start of the album along with some heavy doom metal riffing a few seconds later and more amp noises and clean playing can also be heard at times and soundscapes can also be heard at times and most of the tracks are very long and epic in length and the music also gets very experimental and avant garde at times.
Elements of harsh noise can be heard in certain sections of the recording and later tracks also start mixing in more traces of dark ambient and there is also a brief use of guitar leads which are also done in more of a distorted fashion and as the album progresses synths can be heard in some of the tracks and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and most of the songs are instrumental and also stick to a very slow musical direction and when vocals are finally used they are mostly grim black metal screams.
Twinesuns plays a musical style that takes drone, ambient and doom metal and mixes it in with a touch of black metal to create a sound of their own and the production has a very dark and raw yet heavy sound.
In my opinion Twinesuns are a very great sounding mixture of ambient, drone and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Simon The Magus" and "Going through The Eyes Closed". 8 out of 10.

Lately, I have been on such a sewing kick. My family doesn't like it as much, probably because I act as if I had a sign across my forehead that says "do not disturb!!!!!!"
Well, I'm still so new to the sewing world but before the idea of sewing crossed my mind, I decided to netflix 2 movies. I now truly love watching them over and over. It really inspires you to sew. If you are thinking about sewing I recommend you watch these 2 movies but watch the French version first. You will appreciate both versions so much more.

The whole world is under the power of the evil one. 1 John 5:19
I sometimes wonder if Satan himself is an equal opportunity deceiver–that is, if he gangs up more on women or men. Does he care about laying snares and traps for both genders equally? I doubt it. But this simple (the world would say simple-minded) truth of the Bible seems to say it all. Women in the world are just as much under the power and control of the evil one as men. We can never forget that. The snares he lays are likely very different for each since what he cares about the most is our destruction and will go straight for our weaknesses which are different for men and women.
In a world presently offering its sacrifices on an alter of a foreign goddess, there is very (and I mean very) little room to even talk about male suffrage. Nor is it the most comely thing for men to reveal their vulnerability and pains to begin with. But when a feminist woman decently and respectably embarks on a journey to look into the men's suffrage movements for herself there is room made like the parting of the Red Sea.
Cassie Jaye spent a year researching and studying for this film and it shows. I'm not sure how fully she understands the miraculous move she just made by speaking up for men's issues. I say miraculous because of the sheer breadth of boldness to do something so counter-cultural like that. It is far, far easier for one to just ride the winds of the world's affairs and fashions because it makes one's life safer. Think about it. Most people just want to live their lives and not be bothered by others. They have enough things going on in their personal lives to care about all the craziness going on in the Chamber of Congress. If the ruling class and elites want to mangle the entire English language in a meat grinder so be it, just don't bother me, the thought goes. But for one person to set their face against the winds means a sacrifice must be made. Sometimes a big one, just ask Martin Luther King Jr.
In the beginning of the women's suffrage movements (we're talking early twentieth century) their voices were few and it took a lot of courage to speak about women's rights because the world was not behind them. But you will also notice the women speaking out in those days still looked like women—wearing dresses, large flowery mushroom hats, and modest. Fast forward a hundred years when the women's movements have way overstepped the lines into vitriolic, ego-boosting, goddess worship and the contrast is striking. It is an age old truth, and a clever tool of the evil one: boost the human ego enough, and it will eventually self-destruct.
The title for this documentary "Red Pill" does not refer explicitly to the red pill movement I wrote about earlier that encourages men to quit relationships, up their game, and seduce women. In fact, Cassie notes a couple of variances on the "Red Pill" moniker. One represents ditching the system while the other represents exploiting it.
Intermingled with the documentary is Cassie's own video diaries which allow the viewer to see how she's handling her discoveries.
"The truth is somewhere in the middle….[but] I don't know where it is……" – Cassie Jaye
A good observation. And what we say is in the middle is Christ—the Perfect, the Complete, and the one who restores the balance and harmony of all things. Truth can be found on both sides of the table, but there is only one way to unite it.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 1 Cor. 13:9-10
What particularly impressed me was Cassie's humility and honesty on the subject. As a feminist she was willing to allow strangers of the world to witness some of her personal struggling as she thoughtfully researched and journeyed through the topic—all the way until she finally disavowed herself of feminism.
This documentary is highly commendable, and one of the best I have ever watched. It's only $5 streamed over providers such as Vimeo, Youtube, or iTunes.

Legal Secretary Career Profile
Legal secretaries, also called administrative assistants, legal assistants or executive assistants, perform the daily clerical functions required for the efficient operation of a legal office. Beyond the usual filing, typing, dictation and phone-answering duties of the secretary, legal secretaries possess specialized skills unique to the legal profession.
Legal secretaries sometimes start out as legal receptionists before moving into a secretarial role. Experienced secretaries are often promoted to senior secretarial positions or paralegal positions within the law firm or organization.
Job Duties
Legal secretaries prepare correspondence and type legal documents, including pleadings, motions, briefs, discovery documents, and subpoenas. They maintain complex docket systems to track the myriad of legal filing deadlines; create spreadsheets; index and update pleadings and discovery binders; schedule depositions, site inspections, hearings, closings, and meetings.
Legal secretaries also draft correspondence and routine legal documents such as deposition notices and legal invoices. Legal secretaries also assist with legal research and communicate with attorneys, experts, opposing counsel, vendors and other staff.
Familiarity with legal terminology, state and federal court filing rules, basic legal procedure and law office protocol is important for the legal secretary. In addition to excellent typing and dictation skills, legal secretaries must be extremely deadline-oriented since missing a filing deadline can result in a default judgment (automatically losing a case).
As office and legal processes become more automated, legal secretaries must possess excellent computer skills and be proficient with word processing, spreadsheet, legal research, presentation, and time and billing software.
In addition to core legal secretarial skills, successful secretaries also possess all or most of these 8 work traits.
Practice Environments
The large majority of legal secretaries work in law firms. However, corporate legal departments, the government, public interest firms and the judiciary also employ legal secretaries.
Legal secretarial programs are offered by community colleges, technical centers, and private career schools and take one to two years to complete. While some secretaries in the industry possess no formal training, the most career opportunities exist for formally trained legal secretaries who have completed some post-secondary training or a four-year college degree.
Certification for legal secretaries is a growing trend and may enhance employment opportunities. The National Association for Legal Professionals (NALS) bestows an ALS designation upon legal secretaries who pass a four-hour, three-part examination.
Legal secretary salaries vary depending upon experience, geographic location, and practice setting. Salaries range from $28,000 for entry level professionals employed in a small firm to $65,500 for senior legal secretaries employed in a large firm, according to the Internet Legal Research Group.
Job Outlook
An increased demand for legal services and client-driven efforts to reduce legal costs should continue to create job opportunities for legal secretaries. According to Monster.com's career advice center, legal secretarial jobs will continue to multiply, particularly in the corporate arena.
Additional Resources
The National Association of Legal Professionals is an organization offering professional development by providing continuing legal education, certifications, information, and training to individuals in the legal services industry.

Here's one layout I have completed.
Following a 'Today I' prompt, I decided to choose a day to record my day, rather than the whole family. It was meant to be, because right about then I saw and purchased the Ali Edwards Design Everyday Life Cursive digital brushes which had One Day in my Life digital. (link below)
I wanted to include a written schedule and toyed with the idea of printing on transparency or vellum but in the end decided to print on white card and cut a page protector in half because I've used the same for another page... and I like a bit of consistency.
I used a template from Paislee Press for the right side. Thanks for stopping by:)
Supplies used:
Becky Higgins 6x8 album and page protectors

By: Anthony Garreffa | Virtual & Augmented Reality News | Posted: Oct 24, 2013 3:30 am
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
If you're a fan of Euro Truck Simulator and wanted to feel what it would be like to step into the physical truck, well, Oculus Rift support is now in beta form and available on Steam.
Support for Oculus Rift within Euro Truck Simulator 2 is only available in the Windows version of the simulator for now, with players being advised that they should feature a fast GPU and CPU when running the game with the VR headset. Rift integration would be an immersive experience, as you could turn your head to look for oncoming traffic, or your side mirrors or GPS. It kinda makes me want to download it.
