text: Should you be hiring more co-op students? In today's competitive job market, savvy students who are preparing to enter the workforce are always looking for ways to set themselves apart from other applicants. Because classroom instruction alone is generally not sufficient to equip today's students with the knowledge and skills required to kickstart a successful career, co-operative education is becoming an increasingly popular option. Co-operative education, or the "co-op" as it is more commonly known, is a program delivery mode that relates classroom learning to the world of work by formally integrating work experience into the student's program of study. Although the specifics may vary by educational institution, the usual format is for students to alternate study terms with paid four-month work terms in appropriate fields of business, industry or government. Co-op is generally a partnership between students, employers and the educational institution that provides students with work experience to complement their academic training. Ashton College in Vancouver BC, has utilized co-op students since 2012. According to Ashton's Talent Acquisition Specialist, Heather Blanchard, "Ashton first became involved with co-op students because we wanted to provide opportunities for young professionals to gain practical experience and because we wanted to hire individuals to work on short-term, specialized projects. The program has been a mutually beneficial experience for our co-op students and the organization, and our staff is always blown away with the fresh ideas and eagerness of co-op students." Here are five of the biggest benefits of employing co-op students: Multiple start dates. Students are available year round, with co-op terms generally beginning in January, May or September. A typical work term duration is four months; however, extended placements are easily facilitated. Cost reduction. Co-op students allow organizations to reduce the costs associated with recruiting through traditional media sources. Employing co-op students is also a cost-effective and low-risk means of recruiting and evaluating potential future hires. Become an employer of choice. Through co-op your organization will establish an enhanced presence on campus and will be seen as an employer of choice by students seeking employment. Co-op allows you to promote your organization as one that's interested in developing the potential of young people. Employee development. Employment of co-op students gives a supervisor the opportunity to mentor bright and enthusiastic students, as well as the chance to take part in the training of their future colleagues. Fresh blood. Co-op students bring new ideas, fresh perspectives and enthusiasm to the workplace. Co-op also helps to keep your organization on the leading edge of technology by employing students who are up-to-date with currents trends. In Canada, co-op education is overseen by the Canadian Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE) who works to ensure the quality of co-op programs through its national accreditation system, which serves as a measure of quality control for students and employers. For programs to be accredited, the students taking them must be paid, must receive regular feedback from employers, and must alternate between study and work terms. Work terms need to be closely related to students' academic studies and comprise at least 30 percent of an academic program. According to CAFCE, 55 universities, 26 colleges and three institutes offer approximately 1,100 co-op programs. To find a co-op program near you, visit http://www.cafce.ca/coop-program-directory.html. About the author: Janice Bandick is the Communications Assistant at Ashton College, a private college in Vancouver. Founded in 1998, Ashton College has since become a national and international force in the field of education. Ashton College's Diploma in Human Resources Management program is offered in an innovative live online format to help those across Canada prepare for the National Knowledge Exam and become a candidate for the CHRP.

Hi all,
So here's multi necklaces 1 that I made originally for males now is available for females.
I decided to make this for females as requested on my tumblr.
Anyway, this necklace only works for female sims with small frames (slim or skinny) and small chest.
So if your sim is muscular or heavy and have big boobs then this necklace won't look good on them.
Sorry but there's nothing I can do to fix it.
This can be found in Accessory - Necklace as a standalone with custom thumbnail.
Sorry but there's only one color option as seen in pictures.
For teen to elder.
Mesh Info:
OBP Multi Necklaces
2772 Poly
Please tag 'onebillionpixels' if you use this in your picture on tumblr.
I'll reblog your post. Thanks!
Happy Simming!

One of the great features for Winter '14 is embedded charts/analytics. This is a great feature to add some visualization to your records and objects in Salesforce. Here is a quick example on adding a Case chart to your Account to monitor their distributed activity.
1.) Create your case report, in this example I did a generic report on summarizing by case types and pulled that into a pie chart.
2.) Edit your page layout, in this example I added a section called Client Support to the Account page and dropped my chart into the section.
3.) I did change the filtering from Contact Account Id to Account Id, since I wanted to monitor the Account assigned to the case, regardless of whether a contact was assigned or not.
4.) Navigate out to your Account and the chart is there, very powerful visualization!!

See this really cute apron I am wearing? This was my grandmother's! It's a little large for me, but that's ok, it's not like I'm going to town in it. It has 2 pockets in the front, and it snaps in the front so it's easy to take on and off. I'm not sure how old it is since the tags are too faded, but if you happen to recognize it please drop me a line!

They are called cobbler aprons but they are hard to find.
Think I might have to tear my old one apart, make a pattern and make me a new one.

What started out as a small group of teams competing in 1933 has grown to 25 teams in three divisions. The divisions are named after outstanding members of the WHSFL community in John Potter, Kas Vidruk and Andy Currie. Growth has seen the league expand to include Kenora, Dryden and Fort Frances from Ontario and Portage la Prairie from Manitoba. Over the course of league play from its beginning in 1933, many outstanding players, coaches and builders have contributed many hours of hard work to get the league to where it is at today.
Each member school has determined their inductees based on the time they have spent in the league and the contributions made by the individual to the school, league and community. The inaugural class will be made up of individuals from the builder, coach and player categories. In the future, outstanding teams will be included in the selection process.

Did you know that April is Oral Health Month? Me neither, so I'm here to tell you about it :) Our oral health is so important, both for medical reasons, and for reasons of self-confidence. A bright, white smile filled with lovely straight teeth is a sure confidence booster. And we all know a big smile has us looking our lovely and friendliest best.
My family is diligent with our dentist visits, and with our brushing. I have to admit that we are not so diligent with our flossing, which could for sure use some work. I tend to only reach for the floss when there's something (like popcorn!) bothering me between my teeth. We have all made the switch to power toothbrushes, which I (and my hygienist and my dentist) find give a far superior clean to a manual brush. My hygienist cleanings are so much shorter than they were when I used a manual brush. Did you know that, as of 2011, 72% if Canadians were still using a manual brush? This is from Crest and Oral-B's third annual Great Canadian Smile Survey. I'm interested to see how this number might change in the fourth annual survey! I am a huge proponent of making the switch to power.
During Oral Health Month, Crest and Oral-B are teaming up to encourage Canadians to take the pledge to get a more confident smile by brushing, flossing and rinsing with Crest and Oral-B products for 30 days. And, for every pledge registered they'll donate $1 to Dress for Success (up to $20,000), a charity that helps give others the confidence to succeed in the workplace. Crest is supporting Dress for Success in its mission to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Please visit either facebook.com/crestcanada or facebook.com/oralbcanada to make your pledge today! Your oral health and this organisation will both benefit.
A GiveawayP&G is providing an Oral-B Professional Deep Sweep Triaction 5000 prize (MSRP $110) to help one of my lucky readers make the switch and pledge a more confident smile. I've been using an earlier version of this Oral-B Professional series brush, and I love it. The Smart Guide timer communicates with the brush and provides your countdown, with stars for brushing success, and alerts if you use too much pressure. And the clean I get with this brush has really impressed both me and my dentist. It does a great job of getting rid of plaque and tartar for an excellent clean.
Use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter for your chance to win. Entries are open to Canadian residents only, excluding Quebec, and will be accepted until 12:00 midnight EDT, April 21, 2013. Best of luck!
Disclosure: I am a P&Gmom. As part of my affiliation with this group I receive products and special access to P&G events and opportunities. The opinions on this blog, as always, remain my own. By entering this contest you are accepting that, if you win, your contact information will be shared with a P&G PR agency for the purpose of mailing your prize. This giveaway may appear on multiple blogs as part of the #PGmom program, however, you can only win once per giveaway.

Dear daughters,
At this very moment, you are living a fairly idyllic childhood. Eighteen months ago we moved out of the city, to the Sierra foothills. Our house, a solid, white farmhouse built in 1903, sits on a third of an acre on which you have free range. You run and tumble over spring growth so high it often pulls you down as you run through it. You turn over rocks to find earthworms, make "soup" out of rainwater and leaves and swing from the massive oak tree that shades the house. Soon a spring garden and backyard chickens will add to your fun.
Ophelia, you spend your mornings at the local Waldorf school; a five minute drive from our house. While you are there you bake bread, roll in the sand pit and cozy up in a loft full of pillows. You can't go a day without telling me how much you love your school. Each day you come home glowing and exhausted.
Theta, we spend our mornings together, either meeting with mama and baby friends for a crafting morning/walk, shopping at the local co-op for groceries or just hanging out at home and folding laundry. When we are out you wave at smiling strangers and hold my hand as you toddle your way from one place to the next. You are the sweetest companion.
Each night we light candles, say our blessing ("we love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love each other") and eat dinner as a family.
That is the picture of our lives in this moment. This is the picture we carefully crafted; a quiet neighborhood, a good school, a loving community and mellow days. A simple and full life. A childhood free of debilitating distractions. Hell, we don't even let you watch TV.
And I believe in what we are giving to you girls. I do, I truly truly do. We've worked hard. made personal, professional and financial sacrifices to live this life. But please don't hate me when I say this: I am mind-numbingly bored.
Maybe bored isn't the right word. How can I be bored when there is something to be done, someone who needs me nearly every minute of every day? There's no thumb twiddling. But I am restless. My brain is constantly looking for mindless tasks to complete because it feels so utterly useless otherwise. I loathe being asked to play make-believe. No, thank you, I would not like to eat raspberry soup from your wooden bowl. Again. And after you go to bed, there's just nothing left. I don't want to write. I don't want to read a novel. I want to watch Louie and eat peanut butter out of the jar.
As much as I love our life and I want the two of you to continue to benefit from all of this, I feel myself slipping away. I'm going through the motions: cooking the oatmeal, tying the shoes, wiping the asses. But I'm not really here.
So now what? you may ask. And truthfully I don't know. I just recently reread a blog post from when I was teaching in Oakland and just the thought of going back to work and feeling that same sadness to leave you scares the hell out of me. But even if we're not talking a full time job, I'd like to at least dip my toes in the water. How amazing it would feel to go 2 hours without having yogurt smeared across my shirt, to constantly unclip and re-clip my bra to nurse, to have someone ask my opinion about something other than whether I prefer burps or farts. So I updated my resume, drafted a cover letter and sent references out in the hopes that I will get an interview for a teaching position opening up next fall. I'm not sure whether I actually want it or whether I just want to get dressed up and talk about my profession for a while. Either way, here it goes!
I love you so very very much,

Kenya's main opposition party has canceled planned nationwide protests, saying it wants to give international mediation a chance to resolve a post-election dispute that plunged the east African country into chaos eight days ago. As the death toll from the ethnic and political unrest rose to 500, the top U.S. envoy to Africa said the vote-counting was rigged and urged Kenyan leaders to quickly find a solution to the crisis and to implement political, social, and electoral reforms. President Bush has urged Kenya's government and opposition to engage in peaceful dialogue to end the nation's election standoff. VOA Correspondent Alisha Ryu has details from the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
The leader of the opposition Orange Democratic Movement party, Raila Odinga, called off the planned protests after his second meeting in three days with the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Jendayi Frazer in Nairobi.
The U.S. envoy has been meeting with Mr. Odinga and Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki to encourage a political reconciliation between the two men, who fought in the closest race in Kenya's history.
The opposition leader accuses Mr. Kibaki of rigging the December 27 presidential vote and has called for his resignation. The president says he will not step down, but is willing to discuss a power-sharing deal with Mr. Odinga.
The opposition leader has rejected the offer and says international mediation is needed to break the political impasse.
Speaking to reporters, Assistant Secretary Frazer criticized Kenya's electoral commission, calling it a flawed institution that needed reform.
She said that she believed both political parties were guilty of rigging the vote-counting and did not blame Kenyans for feeling cheated.
"They have been cheated by their political leadership and the institutions. The principle here is really that Kenyan institutions be respected and strengthened and that political dialogue is necessary for fundamental reconciliation. In that dialogue, we, the United States, hopes that they will do more than accommodate each other, that they will actually work on the institutional challenges and the social grievances that this crisis has clearly demonstrated have existed," she said.
Allegations of vote-rigging by Mr. Kibaki unleashed a wave of political violence in the country of nearly 35 million people. The violence quickly degenerated into tribal clashes, particularly between the president's majority Kikuyu tribe and Mr. Odinga's Luo tribe.
Last week, more than 30 ethnic Kikuyus were burned to death in a church in the western Rift Valley town of Eldoret, prompting the government to accuse the opposition of inciting genocide. The opposition is no less angry, accusing government security forces of committing crimes against humanity for using excessive force to put down the violence.
The diplomatic talks in Nairobi come amid U.N. warnings that 250,000 people, uprooted by ethnic violence, need urgent humanitarian assistance.
Assistant Secretary Frazer says the United States is concerned that even if a political solution is found, lingering tension and anger between some tribes may still leave the country divided and uncertain about its future.

NEW: Encouraging Growth in RE/MAX November Housing Report
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
RE/MAX of New England November Monthly Housing Report shows encouraging growth, and RE/MAX of New England Executive Vice President & Regional Director Dan Breault suggests New England is starting to see a shift into a seller's market in many communities.
Rhode Island home sales once again outpaced the rest of the region, with the number of units sold jumping 58.5% year-over-year. Median price also remained relatively flat, down just 1.5%. The greatest median price increase in New England was in Massachsuetts--a 5.5% jump.
New England trends
The November report showed that on average, the median price and units sold in the region are up year-over-year. Every state in New Enlgand experienced double-digit growth in unit year-over-year. Prices are also creeping up in all states except Rhode Island.
"This has been a transition year for the housing market, with stronger home sales and prices on the rise in New England," said Breault. "We are starting to see a shift into a seller's market in many New England communities; with low inventories, prices are rising and homes are moving off the market quickly. We expect this momentum to continue in 2013."

We're Going Big
Tuesday, May 22, 2007, 4:45 PM
We're going big.
How could we resist the temptation? If our press can go big than so must we. But big prints mean big equipment. And so, our print studio continues on its course of perpetual motion, attempting to keep up with all of the different scenarios of PP projects and setting up new equipment to print you all some big prints. Paper moves over there to make way for the huge paper dampening tray, and flat files move over there to set up a flattening station . . . If we stack this stuff we can put that over there . . . but then were will we put that? Or that? It's actually a lot like musical chairs . . . no, no more like Tetris . . . but without things disappearing or gaining points . . . maybe more like musical chairs. Anyway, it's worth it, because these prints we got coming up are good, real good. Or at least we think so, and we hope you do to.
Stay on your toes . . .

Not gonna lie.
Holy shit.
Basically I followed the recipe exactly, EXCEPT that I made them in miniature so they'd fit onto these adorable little mini-buns John bought at the grocery store, and we referred to this recipe for cooking instructions, because we were making them indoors in Brooklyn. Needless to say, our house still smells like a diner, which is a little intense, but is also kind of making me want another burger as I type... I've adapted Aida Mollenkamp's recipe to reflect my miniature status, but you could also revert back to full-sized if that suits your needs. Check her site for the original recipe as well as outdoor grill instructions...
**Look... I'm going to keep calling them "mini burgers" throughout this post because I just really can't tolerate the term "sliders". It's too freaking gross and too freaking literal. If ya don't like it, just say "slider" to yourself whenever I say "mini burger." So there!
Mediterranean-Spiced Lamb Burger Recipe
- Makes: 8-12 servings
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Hands-On Time: 30 minutes
- For the mayonnaise:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise or plain, whole milk Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive tapenade (or finely chopped olives)
- For the burgers:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
- 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh oregano (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- 2 teaspoons grated garlic
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Vegetable oil, for the pan
- To assemble:
- 8-12 mini hamburger buns, sliced in half and toasted
- 1/2 red onion, sliced into 4 rings
- 1 handful baby arugula
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 2 ounces)
- 2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
- Optional: Add harissa to the bun as you assemble for a delicious zingy flavor.
- For the mayonnaise:
Place the mayonnaise and tapenade or olives in a medium bowl and mix to incorporate.
- For the burgers:
Place all of the ingredients except the oil in a large bowl and, using your clean hands, mix until just combined. Split the meat into 8-12 equal portions and shape each piece into a patty that is 1/2-inch-thick, about 2" across or approximately the size of your mini burger buns.
Using your thumb, make a 1-inch-wide indentation in the center of each patty in order to help the burgers cook more evenly.
Add oil to a cast iron pan and heat to medium on the stove.
Increase heat under pan to high as you place the hamburger patties. Put each hamburger into the pan with plenty of distance between them and allow them to cook, without moving, for approximately 2 minutes. Use a spatula to gently turn the burgers over.
Continue to cook until the meat is cooked through, approximately another 3 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the hamburgers from the cast iron pan and allow to sit for a few minutes before you inhale them.
- To assemble:
Spread about 1/4 tablespoon of the mayonnaise on each bun top and then spread an equal dollop of harissa onto each bun top. Divide red onions and thinly cucumber slices amongst burger roll bottoms, top with a patty, then garnish each with arugula and feta. Top with the bun and serve immediately. The mini version is pretty messy. In hindsight, I think stabbing it with a toothpick wouldn't have been a bad idea, but we opted to devour in one to two bites instead.

Product 3/10
The Agilent 81130A with one or two Agilent 81131A output modules is a 400 MHz precision single/dual-channel Pulse Data Generator. With one or two or Agilent 81132A output modules, the Agilent 81130A even becomes a precision 600 MHz/1.32 Gbps single/dual-channel Pulse Date Generator.
The 81130A offers advanced delay and width accuracy over the 81110A due to its PLL oscillator. However, please note that this precision oscillator is not triggerable. In comparison to the 81110A, the 81130A offers a larger, segmentable memory (64 kbit). Its counted loop and sequenced PRBS features provide full flexibility for serial data requirements such as data communication messages and inialization routines. Dual channels can be EXORed, i.e. added internally. The combined four, independent timing edges allow pulses with almost arbitrary shapes in a single signal.
Depending on the output module type, the pulse transitions are selectable (800 ps or 1.6 ns, 81131A) or fixed at 500 ps (81132A). The source impedance is 50 Ohm, the output voltage into 50 Ohm is up to 3.8 Vpp (81131A) and 2.5 Vpp (81132A) respectively.
Note: Each Agilent 81130A 400 MHz single-/dual-channel Pulse Pattern Generator requires one/two of the output channels Agilent 81131A (400 MHz, 3.8 V, 50 Ohm into 50 Ohm).
Each Agilent 81130A 660 MHz single-/dual-channel Pulse Pattern Generator requires one/two of the output channels Agilent 81132A (660 MHz, 2.5 V, 50 Ohm into 50 Ohm).
The 81130, 81131A and 81132A output channels can not be combined in one and the same 81130A!

- Take a ridiculous article berating a 16 year old boy about his background (or make it seem as if he was being disingenuous)
- Throw in some made up nonsense about 'Winterval'
- Cover with a dusting of rationality
- When it turns out to be not quite to your taste, apply stupid libel threats liberally
The libel 'threat' statement from Mel said:
"Your blog post about me is highly defamatory and contains false allegations for which you would stand to pay me significant damages in a libel action. There are many things I could say to point out the gross misrepresentations, selective reporting and twisted distortions in what you have written. I will not do so, however, because you have shown gross abuse of trust in publishing on your blog private correspondence from me without my permission. Consequently I will have no more to do with you and any further messages from you will be electronically binned unread along with other nuisance mail."
Mel is unhinged from reality and, unusually for someone who likes to staunchly defend her opinion, is not interested in receiving criticism.
She has subjected the world to a number of completely ignorant statements and seems to revel in being a rent-a-quote for theological crowd. Take this comment, for example, and note it's breathtaking failure to grasp 'evidence':
"And evolution certainly does not have all the answers. It does not explain human self-consciousness; it does not explain altruism; it does not explain how existence began." http://www.melaniephillips.com/intolerance-against-religion
Evolution, it might surprise her, does not attempt to address elements associated with the neurological and social sciences and neither does it suggest the origin of life.
"It promotes, for example, unproven environmental propaganda as fact, a subversive idea of citizenship, a sexual free-for-all and above all, the idea that there is no such thing as objective truth."
Here's game for you to try; try to work out what she is referring to with these cryptic descriptions... you'll probably come to the same conclusion I did...
"But religion has become the great unmentionable in our society. In intellectual, political or media circles, a religious handle is enough to label one as a bigot or fruitcake."
...and this following statement made me smile more than any other:
"Instead, secularism now arrogantly presents itself as if it were a religion."
Right.... so after a full article completely bashing secularism for being dogmatic, founded on lies, disingenuous with facts, corrupts children in numerous ways and has an overall chilling effect on society she then goes on to say that secularism presents itself "as if it were a religion"... yep, clear off secularism... you're treading on religious territory.
My real opinion however is that she is just not being that smart. I'm only appalled that people think that because she appears in a daily tabloid that she has an opinion worthy of consideration. In reality, she is quite bitter with what appears to be some very strange ideas about what the political term "liberal" is (which she describes herself as).
She says so, I might add, without any hint of irony.

Check out our list of Argentina attractions, including tourist attractions in Argentina and all the best places to go sightseeing in Argentina. This is just a taste of what this great country has to offer!
Buenos Aires
There's heaps going on in Buenos Aires and devaluation has made it a cheap city to explore. Go sightseeing and shopping by day, dining and dancing by night in some of South America's best clubs. Its Spanish founders and Italian immigrants have given the city a taste of Europe with signs of their culture and cuisine widespread. With several new museums and a continuous agenda of cultural attractions and events, there's plenty to keep you occupied.
If you're into the outdoors then you'll find an exhaustive list of activities to keep you busy in Bariloche – horse riding, trekking, paragliding, rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, and in the winter, skiing at Cathedral Hill. The city itself will keep you busy; there are medieval structures to explore along with historic buildings, museums and shops. Head to Nahuel Hupi National Park; home to a plethora of flora and fauna and many ancient Aboriginal rock art sites.
El Calafate
Nestled on the shores of the Argentinean Lake is the small village of El Calafate. From here you can see the wildlife of the Nimes Lagoon, hike to the Perito Moreno Glacier (a UNESCO world heritage site) and the border of Chile, see the rock paintings of the Gualicho Caves and swim or fish in the Roca Lake. There are also plenty of rural tourism activities to see such as sheep shearing.
Iguazu Falls
Iguazu, meaning 'great waters' is surrounded by national parks on both the Argentina and the Brazil sides. The falls themselves are divided into 275 separate falls, the highest being the Devil's Throat, higher than Niagara Falls at 70 m. Jump on a boat that will take you right under the falls, an awesome experience.
Mar del Plata
Mar del Plata offers more than 17 km of coast for the water lover. All the usual water sports are on offer from surfing to water skiing, scuba diving to sailing. When you can manage to pull yourself out of the ocean, go and see the Lorenzo Scaglia Municipal Museum of Natural Sciences or the Juean Carlos Castagnino Municipal Museum of Art. The Mar del Plata Aquarium has seal and dolphin shows which are worth a look too.
Mendoza is set at the foot of the Andes Mountains so there is plenty of opportunity for skiing. There is also many wineries around so go on a wine tour while there. Explore the mountains or go to Aconcagua on the Chilean border to take in the view of South America's highest mountain, the Cerro Aconcagua.
Rosario offers museums of modern art, a blend of Spanish and Italian architecture, parks home to beautiful statues and monuments, beaches along the river front, restaurants with international cuisine and steakhouses where you can get the best and biggest Argentine beef steaks you have ever seen, or taste the local gourmet specialty – fresh river fish.
Salta mixes it's colonial past with modernity, having preserved the architecture from the 18th and 19th centuries. Houses with wooden balconies and iron framework, along with engraved entranceways and pillars, interior patios and fountains dot the streets. Some of the buildings worth a visit are Hernandez House (which houses the City Museum on its lower level), the Arias Rengel Provincial Museum of Fine Arts, Leguizamon House, the Town Hall, and the Northern History Museum. Salta also offers plenty for the adventurous – fishing, trekking, windsurfing and more.
San Martin de los Andes
San Martin de los Andes sits on the shores of Lake Lacar and is surrounded by the Lanin National Park, meaning there is plenty to do if you're up for an adventure. In summer you can go mountain biking, horse riding, hiking, canoeing, climbing, trout and salmon fly-fishing. In winter you can go skiing or snowboarding on the slopes of nearby Mount Chapelco. Make sure you indulge in another activity – eating the handmade chocolate the region is famous for.

War museum ad nauseum
Well, another day, another Civil War museum, this one in Gettysburg. Joining, if memory serves, Richmond, Hagerstown, Harrisburg and for all I know, that hotbed of Civil War activity, Altoona.
Pretty soon, I predict, we'll see a sign proudly proclaiming "Welcome to Paw Paw: Home of the Only Town on the East Coast Without a Civil War Museum."
If this trend continues, we're going to reach a point where somebody has to start printing up artifacts. Get very suspicious if you begin seeing displays proclaiming "This is the Carrier air conditioner window unit used by Robert E. Lee at his Manassas headquarters. Note Minie ball hole on left side which forced Civil War surgeons to amputate the condenser."
Here's an artifact I'd like to see in a glass case: "This is the club Hagerstown Civil War museum booster Dennis Frye went after state and local elected officials with, for dragging their feet and allowing every city from Atlanta to Albany to slip in the door first."

Title: Protective Mate
Series: Holland Brothers, Bk 3
Author: Toni Griffin
Narrator: Dominic M. McCartney
Publisher: Mischief Corner Books
Cover Artist: Meredith Russell
Story Rating: 3.5 of 5 Stars
Narration Rating: 4.0 of 5 Stars
Overall Rating: 3.75 of 5 Stars
Release Date: 06/21/2016
Length: 04 hours 47 minutes
Genre: Contemporary, Paranormal
Life isn't meant to be easy, but for Zachary Bennet the last two years have been downright hell. The one shining light in his life, his precious daughter, Hayley. Deciding he needs a clean break, Zack gets a new job in a small town called Leyburn in the hopes they can settle down and live a peaceful life.
Between worry over one brother's increasingly erratic behaviour and constantly walking in on the other two making out with their mates, Simon Holland is ready to pull his hair out. All he'd ever wanted in life was a mate and a family. When his wish is finally answered with Zack's arrival, Simon finds out first-hand how far hate and bigotry can drive some people. But life wasn't meant to be easy and Simon would protect what was his to the end.
Story Review:
I recently listened to an audiobook written by Toni Griffin and was less than impressed but I always like to give authors a second chance so I picked this book for that. I'm glad I did because now I see the appeal of her shifter series.
Even though Protective Mate is the third in the Holland Brothers series I had no trouble understanding and enjoying the plot.
As a single father myself I totally related to Zachary Bennet. He was a realistic and likable character from the beginning. The beginning of the book dragged a bit and seemed rather unneeded because it focused on Zach meeting who would become his best friend in high school and beyond—Sara. There's time spent on them meeting then later, after high school, about them becoming roommates. While his relationship with Sara is important in the big scheme of things—she's the mother of his child—this was a romance and I could've done with such a prolonged backstory. I was ready to get to the meat of the story way before we were done with the past.
I'm not always a fan of the fated mate type of story because at times it feels like authors just tell readers the couple is in love and don't show it. That wasn't the case here. Simon and Zach's chemistry sizzled from the beginning. I loved how not only did Simon have no problem with Zach having a child but neither did anyone else in his family.
As much as I loved Simon's family, that's how much I hated Sara's parents. They were despicable and bigoted people who didn't want their grandchild raised by a gay man and would do anything to get what they wanted. They were a bit on the cliché said but it worked well with the story which isn't terribly heavy.
Add in the fact that this sets up an MPREG story and I found this tale quite enjoyable.
Narration Review:
Dominic M. McCartney had the perfect Australian accent for the characters in this book. He wasn't the best narrator I've heard. There wasn't a lot of changes in inflection or timbre in his voice but I didn't dislike him.

Violet Mustard - rediscovering a 700 year old regional specialty
Moutard Violette has reportedly been produced in, Brive, Limousin since the 13th century. A favourite of Pope Clement VI, who was born in the region, he apparently had local Vatican manufacturers prepare the mustard from 1265-1268.
Created from mustard seeds, over ripe black grapes, wine vinegar and spices, moutard violette is generally served with limousin beef, veal, duck or blood sausage. It's also an excellent addition to sauces and is an excellent addition to vinaigrettes.
I used it this evening, combined with a splash of olive oil, on a garden salad with smoked salmon and green olives. It's a got a fruity, tangy flavour!

The proposal from Gianni Infantino for a 48 team World Cup has been met by an almost unanimous stream of opprobrium by twitter users. Or it was at least opposed by the twitter users I follow. And I guess that's the point? Most of the people I follow have a UK or US centric view on football/soccer. Both England and the United States are likely to comfortably qualify for 32 team World Cup, despite the best efforts of each country not do (Thanks Allardyce/Klinsmann).
The obvious worries are that it will water-down the competition, that there'll be too many games and that it will make the Panini album almost impossible to complete without a small bank-loan. All of these concerns are valid (especially the last one). However, if you view the 48 team World Cup from an Asian or African perspective then there are likely to be many more people keen on the idea. After all, only a limited number of countries qualify from these two huge continents and the thought of a couple more places for each continent would surely be voted for by the majority of AFC and CAF nations.
Rather than directly oppose the idea of a 48 team World Cup with groups of three, perhaps the football community should come up with a better format for this World Cup. Perhaps the best 24 nations in the World should qualify automatically, with the second best 24 sides playing off (either in groups of four, or as a straight playoff) for the final 12 places in a 32 team World Cup. This could easily be accommodated in the weeks leading up to a tournament when sides are normally playing warm-up games.
Like many things in football, if the idea makes money it's likely to be implemented. And 48 teams means more games, and more money. It also gives the nations with the larger TV audiences (like England and USA) that extra bit of leeway, just in case they do wish to employ Gareth Southgate and Bruce Arena as national team coaches.

Theory On Tap
Tertian HarmonyTertian harmony refers to harmonies based in thirds. This means the second tone of the chord will be a third above the root, and the third tone will be a third above the second tone, etc. Tertian triads form the backbone of European harmony, from which jazz harmony evolved. The basic harmonic unit in jazz theory is the seventh chord (often extended to include ninths, elevenths and thirteenths.)
Symbols and termsI will use the following symbols and terms in this lesson. I hope the meaning will become clear as you read on.
|Numbers will usually indicate intervals. For example, 3 will mean a third. Ma3 will mean a major third.
|I am using this notation primarily because it is easy for this medium. However, many notation systems exist, along with many arguments about which one is correct. In reality, you should know as many as possible, 'cause you never know what you're gonna find on your lead sheet! We will learn more when we talk about seventh chords. (Note: My jazz harmony teacher preferred Ma and mi as opposed to the more standard M and m because he had trouble telling student's big M's from their little m's!)
Five Common TriadsHere are five of the most common triads in Western music. (Very similar diagrams can be found lining the back of certain lower pages on the Stickwire web page, courtesy of Vance Gloster).
The Major TriadYou will probably recognize the sound of this one instantly. It has a kind of "bright" quality to it. Most songs in a major key will "resolve" to this chord- that is, the other chords played will make you want to hear this chord after them. Here is how to play it on the melody strings
The Minor TriadThis is also a very recognizable chord, just a little less common than the major triad. It has a "darker" quality to it than the major triad does. Here is how to play it on the melody strings:
Note: that the only difference between this chord and a
major triad is that it has a minor third instead of a major third.
The Augmented triadThis is simply a major triad with an augmented 5th. It is somewhat rare, and generally occurs only in music with a "minor" key (however, John Coltrane's arrangement of "Summertime" on his "My Favorite Things" prominently features augmented chords!) It has a much more "dissonant" quality. Here is how it is played on the melody strings:
The Diminished TriadThis is a minor triad with a diminished 5th. It is also dissonant and not so commonly used, but it can provide a "pivot" in jazz chord progressions. Here is how to play it on the melody strings:
The sus4 chordThis chord began to appear in a lot of '70s pop recordings, including Steely Dan (which usually gets praise from jazz musicians). It is simply a major triad with the major 3rd raised to the perfect 4th. The chord makes you want to hear the 4th lowered to the 3rd ("resolved"), and it may be followed by a major chord with the same root or may act as a "pivot" to a different chord. Here is how it is played on the melody strings:
InversionsThe voicings (order of tones) of the above examples are all root position voicings of the chords. That means the root is the lowest tone, followed by the 3rd as the next highest, and then the 5th. These tones don't always have to be played in that order. If we play the 3rd, then the 5th, and then the root, we call the voicing the first inversion. If we play the 5th, then the root, then the 3rd, the voicing is called the second inversion You should know all the inversions for each chord. Here is how they are played on the melody strings:
Major triad and inversions
|(I designed these charts to save space. Note that the tones of the root positions chords are all on the lower three melody strings. The tones of the 1st inversion are all on the next three strings. The notes of the 2nd inversions are all on the highest three melody strings. I will place the slash \ as a fret symbol to separate different chords when I think they are too confusing).
Minor triad and inversions
Augmented triad and inversions
(Note that all augmented triad inversions have the same shape!)
Diminished triad and inversions
Suspended 4th triad and inversions
Triads on the bass stingsBecause the bass strings of the stick are usually tuned in the wider perfect 5th interval, it is not easy to play the above triads on the bass strings. Two ways around this are a) use both hands, and b) use the "B.C." (Bob Culbertson) method, which involves using the thumb of your left hand to play notes. However, because of the relationships of the melody strings to the bass strings, these aren't really necessary. As we learned in the previous lesson, a perfect 4th is the inversion of a perfect 5th, and vice-versa. What this means for the stick is that you can move a chord pattern from the melody strings to the bass strings, but keep the same note as the root. The chord will have the same quality, but all the notes will be inverted! It will sound very similar, but the spacing between the actual notes played is greater. (Note: in legit theory, these voicings are called open structure voicings, which means that the lowest and highest tones are more than one octave apart. The all the chords shown above are close structure chords, meaning that the lowest and highest tones fall within one octave.)
|Here is a table for converting the triad forms from melody strings to bass strings. (Note: I admit that I stole these from Jeff Jetton's "Son of INSights" post last Saturday.)
|Try playing all the melody string patterns chord patterns on the bass strings. Listen for the similarities and differences of the chords. (Note: chords generally sound better in higher registers, so try to stick to the higher bass stings.)
Ear trainingYou should always learn to associate three things in your head: a name, a symbol, and a sound. The sound is, of course, what we're after. The name is for our convenience - it lets us communicate what we are doing to each other. The symbol serves the same purpose, but on paper (or in this case, on your computer screen).
|Make sure you can identify all the chords above when you hear them. This takes practice. Play them frequently, and maybe record them in random order and listen to the tape a week later to see if you can identify them. Again, there are some excellent ear training tapes and software available to help you.
|Next lesson: Will Pirkle will teach us about the major scale and it's modes.

Finally, the wait is over and the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals have been declared as the match up for the 2017 Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio.The yearly game at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium kicks off the NFL preseason, in spite of the fact that in 2016 it was crossed out because of the unsuitable conditions of the field. The field was "hard as concrete" and hardened paint on the field moved towards becoming tar-like, constraining the cancellation, so it's feasible that the NFL will do all that is important to stay away from a comparative embarrassment one year later.
The Hall of Fame Game usually wraps up Enshrinement Weekend, yet this year it is booked for Thursday, Aug. 3. The Enshrinement Ceremony for the Class of 2017 will be two days after the fact on Saturday, Aug. 5.

Urban sketching with my Stillman and Birn Beta hardback book, watercolour and Derwent tinted charcoal pencils and a question about ipads
Faded grandeur, an A4 sketch of an Edwardian? Victorian? doorway, sandwiched between the shutters of adjacent factories. Watercolour and tinted charcoal pencils
I pass this door frequently and had never noticed it until a friend pointed it out! This fascinating sliver of ornate carving and tilework of the original building, now largely hidden and framed by huge modern metal shutters. It's patched, distressed surface was fascinating and I may well do some close ups of that as it doesn't show so well at this scale.
I've decided to extend the slow burning waterways project (city and county streams, rivers, canals, pools, flooded quarries etc) to include the city and the interesting or quirky or just beautiful-in-their-ugliness bits. I'll keep this book just for this project and add the other urban stuff I've done to keep it together. I'll probably keept the waterways element in the books that are already going.
S&B how about a pocket in the back of the sketchbooks for loose stuff like this?
The paper in these is beautiful - heavy (180lb) - and it takes any medium I can throw at it. The sizing makes colour glow. It's not yet available in the UK but hopefully before too long it will be.
And .... I'm very tempted to treat myself to an ipad - any advice on what you use yours for, how easy or difficult it is to transfer information to and from a PC to it etc etc etc would be gratefully received :>)
And how idiot proof it is to someone who hasn't really used Apple Macs and is only pc literate.

Austin360 On The Record: Gurf Morlix, Daisy O'Connor and more
Gurf Morlix, "The Soul & the Heal" (Rootball). Renowned guitarist and producer for many of the finest roots-music performers in Austin (and beyond), Morlix is now 10 albums into a two-decade run of making his own music as well. Self-produced at his home studio west of town, "The Soul & the Heal" is well titled, as these songs are a good fit for times that try men's souls, even as they seek redemption. Playing most of the instruments himself — with assists from Rick Richards (drums), Ray Bonneville (harmonica) and Nick Connolly (B3 organ) — Morlix digs deep into the blues and scars of life on tracks such as "Bad Things," "Cold Here Too" and "I'm Bruised, I'm Bleedin'." Not everything is so heavy: "Move Someone" celebrates the simple epiphany of making an emotional connection, while "Quicksilver Kiss" sets a memory of romantic reverie to a bittersweet melody that his former collaborator Lucinda Williams could turn into gold. Every Morlix album seems to have an instant classic, and here it's "Love Remains Unbroken"; if it's not quite an antidote to the harsh realities faced on much of the record, it's still a welcome affirmation of what matters most in the long run. Release show March 4 at El Mercado Backstage.
Daisy O'Connor, "Lightchasers." The full-length follow-up to O'Connor's 2014 debut EP "Do Be Do" expands her horizons beyond bare-bones folk. Deeper arrangements here include atmospheric keyboards and guitar accents from Christopher Cox, along with skillful touches of pedal steel and cello (courtesy of Simon Page and Lindsey Verrill, respectively). At the center is O'Connor's high, sweet voice, which keeps the sound of her music bright even when she delves into darker corners lyrically. Release show Feb. 3 at Cactus Cafe. Here's the video for the title track:
Traveling Ones, "Meet Me There." Singer-songwriters Justin Ahmanson and Emily Villareal focus on the warm and welcoming blend of their vocal harmonies with their first full-length disc together. Their music encompasses many of the hallmark genres under the Americana umbrella, from country and folk to blues and soul. Release show Feb. 3 at Stubb's indoor. Here's the video for "Yours Tonight":
Ty Richards, "Zillion" (Tremolo). The first full-length release from this dance-pop songwriter collects 10 self-produced tracks that feature heavy rhythms, jagged guitar leads and lots of vocal effects. Release show Feb. 3 at Swan Dive. Here's the video for the song "Going Out for a Cigarette":
- FEB. 9: Fledglings, "We're All Gonna Die," release show Feb. 9 at Sahara Lounge.

Ten years ago... Andre Ethier went 0 for 5 for the Midland RockHounds, while Eric Chavez, Erubiel Durazo, and Jason Kendall each went 0 for 4 in Oakland's 0 to 1 loss to the Anaheim Angels.
Ten years ago... Frank Thomas was on the disabled list and missed the first 50 games of the 2005 season.
Ten years ago... Albert Pujols hit his 165th home run of his career against the Houston Astros.
Ten years ago... Ryan Klesko had a double and a home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Unfortunately the Padres lost after Brian Lawrence gave up seven hits, walked two batters, and allowed six runs in 2.1 innings pitched.
Ten years ago, Greg Maddux had the night off. However the day before he threw for eight solid innings while only giving up four hits and two earned runs in a loss against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Ten years ago... Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz both hit home runs in Boston's 11-3 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Ten years ago... Brad Wilkerson went 4 for 5, scored three runs, drove in two runs, and came close to hitting for the cycle against the New York Mets. If it's any consolation, he actually hit for the cycle a few weeks earlier against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Ten years ago... Derek Jeter also fell short of hitting for the cycle after he had a single, double, and a home run against the Texas Rangers.
Ten years ago... Carlos Lee hit two home runs and drove in four runs against the San Francisco Giants. In the other dugout, Omar Vizquel celebrated his 38th birthday with a single, double, and a triple (yup... the third person of the day to fall short of hitting for the cycle).
Ten days ago... I bid $200 on a 2005 Topps Heritage baseball set (complete with SP's and variations) and won.
I realize that many of you think that I'm insane... and maybe I am. Two hundred dollars is a lot of money for a non-vintage, non-autographed, or non-relic set. But with boxes selling for over $100... this was the route I decided to take.
If I never add another Topps Heritage set to my collection, I'll be content... because I have the one and only Heritage set that honors the greatest baseball card design in the history of trading cards:
Okay... it's your turn:
Happy Friday and sayonara!

Sankt Lorenz, Nuremberg
For no apparent reason, here are some of the many photos I took of Sankt Lorenz Kirche in Nuremberg two years ago.
As always with my photos, they are freely available, especially to educators.
Open sourcing forever!
Gerrit informs me that this cross is a work by Veit Stoss. I was thinking this might be by Stoss, the expression on the face, the drapery, but I wasn't sure. I was only sure that this was not by Riemenschneider or his circle.
I left out the many photos I took of Adam Kraft's spectacular sacrament house. I plan to do a separate post on Kraft eventually.
The bells of the Lorenzkirche
The people stopping and listening to the bells in this video was very much my experience in Nuremberg. Some of the people in this video are tourists, but most are locals. I remember enjoying a sandwich featuring the local wurst at an outdoor cafe near the Lorenzkirche on a pleasant Saturday evening when all the bells in the city began ringing at sunset announcing the beginning of the Christian Sabbath. I remember just about everyone stopping to listen.

Thanks Gerrit. I've included a note about your identification of Veit Stoss in the post.
I suspected it might be Stoss, but wasn't sure.

Charlie's Mysterious Illness was Diagnosed
My local vet referred our westie, Charlie, to BluePearl for further evaluation and diagnosis of his mysterious illness. Charlie had been sick for a little over a month and every time his blood and urine tests were done the confusion just continued to grow!
The BluePearl doctors and staff were amazing in helping us to understand what was going on and gave us the assurance we needed to pull Charlie through! Charlie is doing GREAT now. He has regained all of his weight and is back to his usual mischevious self!
This clinic understands the value and love we all have for our pets. I was very nervous about what may happen to my Charlie and the staff were all very kind and patient with both Charlie and me. I am very thankful to know that they are there for us should we ever have an urgent need again.

Upstream Paddling
I got the idea for this video because when you stop paddling in a packraft the boat spins backwards to face upstream. It just feels natural. When I mentioned the possibility of upstream paddling to Paul Schauer he said, 'Yeah, sure. Salmon do it, why shouldn't we?' Armed with a tank of helium and 70 balloons, we were ready to shoot.
My brother helped plan the video. Joe Stock helped shoot some video, which was really fun and probably the only thing I'll ever be able to teach Joe. In almost every one of his clips he says, "So the red light means it is recording?" Tomas Jensen, Roman Dial and Jeff Conaway helped review the edit. Free Energy, the music during the paddling scenes, is the PA-based band of my friend Scott Wells.
You think this is a joke? Check out the new Hyperlite Mountain Gear packs. Balloons not included.
No disrespect to Paul, but next time I'm going to enlist this guy's help. Check out his moves at ~4:00.

Fabulous! I like the light sided luc at things 🙂 After the kamasutra and the baloon positons, what is next? On seroius side note, I indeed find "upstream paddling" a core technique of paddling in a packraft. As it spins so easily, upstream ferries, pirouettes and sidesteps facing upstream make you so flexible. Also, this is a way to compensate the disadvantage of lacking speed. If time is running out to avoid an obstacle, a backferry (facing up or down) is the best one can do. That is what I tried to explain here (in German unfortunately):
Keep things coming Luc,

Just had to share this comment that a friend made. "Look honey!!! The pack rafter's are spawning. I wonder if they'll get wherever it is they think they are going?!? Hmm…Strong Work, that was super fun to watch."

Fantastically entertaining! Nicely done.

The Rediff Special
McGrath hoping to end on a high
March 02, 2007
Good timing is an obligatory requirement for any international cricketer. In this respect Australia's retiring fast bowler Glenn McGrath has always been a master at choosing the perfect moment.
The lanky paceman defied childhood predictions he would never make it as a top player to become the most successful paceman the game has ever seen.
He has tormented and occasionally made fools of some of the greatest batsmen in history and always had the theatrical sense to save his best performances for the biggest stages.
At 37, it is no surprise that McGrath has decided to quit after the World Cup. His best days are gone and he has been plagued by injuries for the past few years.
But McGrath is anything but a spent force and, while he may not be as consistent as he once was, he still retains that uncanny sense of timing.
He took a wicket with his final ball in Test cricket in the last Ashes Test against England and a wicket with his final delivery in a one-day international on home soil. All that remains now is the fairytale finish at the World Cup.
McGrath has already won two World Cups (1999 and 2003) and is bidding, along with team mates Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist, to become the first players to win three.
He was the spearhead of the Australian attack in the previous two finals and while he is longer guaranteed the new ball, his importance to the team has not diminished.
While Australia's younger paceman intimidate their opponents with their blistering speed, McGrath plays with their minds, relying on his unerring accuracy, subtle movement off the seam and sharply rising bouncers to get wickets and keep the runs down.
His simple approach to the game belies the fact he is one of the hardest working fast bowlers Australia ever produced who rose from humble beginnings in the dusty outback to become an outstanding international.
He took 8 for 38 in his first Ashes Test at Lord's in 1999 and a hat-trick against the West Indies a year later. McGrath took career-best one-day figures of 7-15 against Namibia at the 2003 World Cup then 8-24 in a Test against Pakistan in 2004.
He scored his only Test half-century with the bat when he made 61 against New Zealand that same year and returned from injury to play a leading role in Australia's 5-0 Ashes whitewash of England.
After completing all his unfinished business, McGrath might have been tempted to call it quits then but the showman in him demanded he save his final curtain call for one last appearance at the World Cup.

continues to go up and crosses the resistance line, the big trend of the Dow will continue for the whole year 2018.
For me personally, I have shorted the whole market from last week, but I am looking attentively whats going on. But if the Dow
changes direction to going long and I will find stocks to buy long.
