This caught my eye on Bugtraq:
A simple google brought up this:
The posting describes test results using older versions of Zone Labs
ZoneAlarm and also erroneously attributes the problem to a flawed core
Zone Labs Advanced Program Control feature protects PCs from the
ShellExecute theoretical exploit. This feature is available in all Zone
Labs advanced consumer security products, as well as Zone Labs
enterprise security product, Integrity. Advanced Program Control protects
against this theoretical exploit and others which attempt to bypass the
firewall's trusted application permissions.
Zone Labs recommends that users run Program Control at the
default medium setting for about a week so that the software
will learn each program that is used for Internet access. After a week,
configure Program Control at the high setting. At that point, users will
only be prompted with an Alert if there is a problem. As a result, users
get full protection against the ShellExecute theoretical exploit. Zone
Labs is always working on improving these and other features to make them
easy-to-use and intuitive for all users, no matter their skill level.
Zone Labs first introduced the Advanced Program Control feature in
November, 2002 with the release of ZoneAlarm Pro 3.5. Zone Labs added
this feature to Integrity at the same time and then added it to ZoneAlarm
Plus in February, 2003. Zone Labs recommends that all users keep their
security products up-to-date at all times.
We have continually hardened security in our free ZoneAlarm, as we do with
all our releases, but we do not include all advanced features in this
basic product.
More information can be found through our technical support FAQs.

Sr. Director, Corporate Communications
Zone Labs
Now,I was wondering..how ethical is it if you ask your customers to upgrade to ZAPro from ZA free because they dont provide the 'Advanced Program Control' to their ZA free users?Has anyone seen cases similar to these?And why on earth haven't they got rid of a two year old exploit?Also,I must admit to seeing little sense in 'setting ZA to it's medium security settings and letting it see which programs access the net for a week'.Any thought people?
Affected Products:
ZoneAlarm free versions lack the "Advanced Program Control" feature and are therefore unable to prevent this bypass technique.
Btw,I realise that the Bugtraq link's dated 2003,the one from castle cops is only a few days old though,so I thought I'd just post and see.

I continue to read letters which seem unaware of the reality of life after Brexit, despite the impact the June vote has had on the economy.
A recent front page article stated that there will be no future investment by Nissan in the Sunderland plant while uncertainty about what Brexit will mean persists.
I was shocked when I learned that my home city had voted to leave Europe, knowing that 30,000 jobs at Nissan and its suppliers are vital to the local economy.
Liam Fox, Secretary for Trade, let an email slip out recently, later withdrawn, which made reference to trading under WTO rules, and not the single market.
In order to secure those Nissan jobs, the people of Sunderland should be lobbying hard to ensure we retain access to the single market if the PM does take the decision and actually invokes Article 50.
Without all the EU funding the city currently receives (and not guaranteed by the chancellor) and without Nissan, the future for Sunderland looks grim.
We need to make sure no deal is done which restricts access to the single market.

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program requires that each CDBG-funded activity must either principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or meet a community development need having a particular urgency. With respect to activities that benefit all the residents of a given area, at least 51 percent of the area's residents must be low and moderate income.
In June 2014, HUD released the new Low/Moderate Income Summary Data (LMISD) based on the 2006-2010 American Community Survey. This data is required for new activities for which funding is first obligated on or after the effective date, July 1, 2014. Click here to see the map of low/moderate income areas.

The Confraternity of the Most Holy Names of God and Jesus (Holy Name Society) promotes reverence for the Sacred Names of God and Jesus Christ, obedience and loyalty to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, and the personal sanctification and holiness of its members. Members are called to contribute to the evangelization mission of the Church and to make perpetual acts of reverence and love for our Lord and Savior. The apostolate of the society is to assist in parish ministries by performing the Corporal Works of Mercy: to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, give drink to the thirsty, shelter to the homeless, tend the sick, visit those in prison, and bury the dead; as well as the Spiritual Works of Mercy: to convert sinners, instruct the ignorant, counsel the wayward, comfort the sorrowing, bear adversity patiently, forgive offenses, and pray for the living and the dead.
The apostolate of the Holy Name Society is to promote reverence for the Sacred Names of God and Jesus Christ and to assist parish ministries performing the Corporal Works and Spiritual Works of Mercy.
As members of the Holy Name Society – both individually and collectively in parish Societies – members are called to build the kingdom of God by teaching, spreading, and defending the Faith of Christ, through practicing and spreading a special devotion to the Most Holy Name of Jesus.
The Holy Name Society member through his spiritual and corporal works of mercy strives to become like the good servant (Matt 25:21) - never the unprofitable (Lk 17: 10) or the useless (Matt 25:29) servant.
To Teach the Faith of Christ
The Magisterium of the Catholic Church instructs spiritual organizations like the Holy Name Society that they have an important role in teaching the faith (Catechesi Tradendae, an Apostolic exhoration of Pope John Paul II on catechesis in our time).
The Vatican provides detailed information on the proper training and spiritual formation of any one who is to teach the Faith of Christ in the document Vatican Guide for Catechists
To Spread the Faith of Christ
Christ's last words to us were, "..go forth, therefore and make disciples of all nations..." The Holy Name Society as a Spiritual organization canonically recognized by the Church has an all important role in bringing the gospel to all (Apostolicam Actuositatem, Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity.)
CharismCanonical ties to the Order of St. Dominic give members of the Holy Name Society special charisms that stem directly from the holiness, piety, and good works of the many men who have consecrated their lives to Jesus Christ as Dominican Priests and Brothers. In a very special way members share in the tireless zeal for the salvation of souls of St. Dominic, the unsurpassed intellect and humility of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the sanctity and holiness of Blessed John of Vercelli. The Holy Name Society has been adorned with privileges, indulgences, and other apostolic graces by Pope Pius IV, Clement VIII, Innocent XI, Benedict XIV, Pius X, and Paul VI. The Magisterium of the Church has uniquely positioned the Holy Name Society within men's apostolates within the Church.

10 Comments for The Quiet Traveler
Jennifer 10.22.10 | 12:22 PM ET
Very nice, and very true for me as well!!
Melissa 10.22.10 | 3:10 PM ET
I love this! I'm also an introverted traveler whose most poignant memories are usually of experiences without others around. I love meeting new and interesting people, but I don't need to to have adventures. And I love to peoplewatch, but find that having a book around allows me to do it without someone thinking my aloneness is an invitation to talk or to pick me up :-)
Thanks for the lovely words and photos-
Chuck Kirchner 10.22.10 | 11:52 PM ET
Nice piece - and not about problems or mishaps or strange goings-on, but about observation and being yourself - "seeing the world our own way,"
pam 10.23.10 | 10:55 PM ET
Oh, Sophia, this is so GREAT. And listening to it, I remembered, a very long time ago staying at a hotel on the French Riviera. It was a rambling pink and while place, and I was the ONLY guest there. I'd forgotten all about that until seeing/listening to this. For that, I thank you.
travel guide perth 10.24.10 | 10:57 PM ET
I like it. So true and very refreshing.
Evelyn Hannon 10.25.10 | 12:51 AM ET
A lovely piece narrated in a lovely voice. The two blend beautifully.
Sophia Dembling 10.25.10 | 10:19 AM ET
Thanks all. And Pam, my very favorite thing to hear in response to personal writing is that I reminded someone of her (or his, of course) own trip. That is always my goal.
Travels in kanyakumari 10.28.10 | 9:04 AM ET
Very good one this.all guys are like it.
Steve 10.29.10 | 8:16 PM ET
Well said… I had never been able to put my finger on exactly what made us I's unable to really communicate with E's… "our experiences don't necessarily translate well" just hit the spot. I had never realized that simple fact: you just experience life differently, that's what's going on…
Robyn 12.02.10 | 11:31 AM ET
you just spoke my heart. Sometimes when I travel and someone wants to chat I feel guilty for wanting to just sit, but I need to be polite. Yes, good connections have come out of that but it takes a lot of energy for me when I'd rather just watch the China countryside slip past.

text: Glenn Wilkins - Monday, January 15, 2018 Asia Stocks Mostly Gain, China Stumbles Advertisment Most major indexes in Asia closed higher on Monday after Wall Street closed out last week at records and the U.S. dollar continued to struggle. The Nikkei 225 average in Japan regained 61.06 points, or 0.3%, to 23,714.88, despite the yen's climb higher. Financial names rose in the session, but automakers and technology stocks proved to be a mixed picture. Shares of SoftBank Group closed 3.2% higher following news from Nikkei Asian Review that the company aimed to list SoftBank Corp., its mobile arm, both in Tokyo and abroad this year. The listing could raise around two trillion yen ($18 billion U.S.) for the company, Nikkei added. SoftBank said in a statement the listing of its mobile unit was an option for the company, but that no official decision had been made. Against the yen, the greenback edged lower to trade at 110.81. The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong dropped 73.67 points, or 0.2%, to 31,338.87. Still, the benchmark traded not far from its all-time high. In other public offering news, online finance platform Lufax aims to list in Hong Kong in April, the South China Morning Post reported on Friday, citing anonymous sources. Lufax's potential IPO would come hot on the heels of other "new economy" companies in Hong Kong last year, including online-only insurer ZhongAn Online Property & Casualty Insurance. Meanwhile, smartphone maker Xiaomi has reportedly chosen Citic Securities, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley as sponsors for the company's proposed listing In Korea, heavyweight Samsung Electronics, which had fallen for most of last week on the release of poorer-than-expected profit guidance, closed higher by 0.7%. Other tech names, however, were in negative territory, with SK Hynix declining 2.3% Meanwhile, bitcoin-exposed stocks retraced losses seen last week following news about a potential ban on cryptocurrency trading in South Korea. Omnitel rose 28.9% and Kakao advanced 3.2% on the day. Australian markets were up marginally, with the materials and gold producer sectors among the best-performing on the day. Major miners BHP and Rio Tinto closed up 1.2% and 1.5%, respectively. Gold producers also finished the session in positive territory after the yellow metal hit four-month highs on softness in the greenback. Newcrest Mining rose 2.9% and Evolution Mining was up 6.6% by the end of the day. CHINA In Shanghai, the CSI 300 inched up 0.24 points to 4,225.24 Financials listed on mainland markets made gains, but those were offset by losses in telecommunication services, materials and industrials names. The Chinese currency rose to a more than two-year high after an official at Germany's central bank said it would add the yuan to its currency reserves, Reuters reported. The onshore yuan traded at 6.4320, while the offshore yuan traded at 6.4362. The central bank lets the yuan rise or fall a maximum of 2% against the dollar, relative to the fixing rate. The People's Bank of China set the yuan midpoint at 6.4574 to the dollar, its firmest level in more than a year and a half, earlier on Monday, In other markets The Kospi in Korea tacked on 7.31 points, or 0.3%, to 2,503.73 In Taiwan, the Taiex Index added 72.35 points, or 0.7%, to 10,955.31 In Singapore, the Straits Times Index gained 15.85 points, or 0.5%, to 3,536.41 In New Zealand, the NZX 50 fell 30.98 points, or 0.4%, to 8,211.37 In Australia, the ASX 200 picked up 7.03 points, or 0.1%, to 6,077.08

If you are like me, I have taken a trip to Disney, started to scrapbook it, but may need a little more merchandise inspiration, due to reusing everything I had already purchased. Well, these Sn@p Say Cheese cards was just what I was looking for to get another jump start!
Another project that need to be caught up, are my kids' school scrapbooks! I need to get the items out of the bins and into their books! These Sn@p School cards would be the perfect touch!

Wilife Viewing:
- Whale watching! Peak migration months for viewing gray whales are November - December and March - April. A resident population may be seen any month of the year at the Klamath River Overlook. Pick a clear, calm day. Bring your binoculars and watch for their spouting. Other good viewing spots include: Crescent Beach Overlook, Wilson Creek, High Bluff Overlook, Gold Bluffs Beach, Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center.
- Roosevelt elk, one of the largest members of the deer family, are the most easily observed wildlife in the parks. They are seen throughout the parks, but primarily south of the Klamath River in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, Gold Bluffs Beach, along the Bald Hills Road, and in the Orick area. Males sport large antlers in late summer through winter. Females are smaller in stature and have no antlers. The rut, or mating season, occurs in fall. Calves are born in grassy, open areas in May and June. Be careful: elk are wild and unpredictable animals. They are particularly dangerous during calving and the fall rut. Always observe them at a safe distance.
- Tidepool marine life and seabird viewing! Enderts Beach, ½-mile (1 km) walk down the Coastal Trail from the Crescent Beach Overlook; Lagoon Creek/Yurok Loop, 1-mile (1½ km) hike to Hidden Beach; Wilson Creek along Highway 101; pick up a tides schedule at a visitor center.

Government announces pricing of $1bn notes under its Global Medium Term Note programme
Nigeria yesterday announced that it has priced its offering of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of notes under its newly established $1 billion Global Medium Term Note programme. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 7.875 per cent and will mature on February 16, 2032 with a bullet repayment of the principal.
The Federal Government intends to use the proceeds of the notes to fund capital expenditures in the 2016 budget. The Notes represent the Republic's third Eurobond issuance, following issuances in 2011 and 2013.
The Notes were approximately eight times oversubscribed with orders in excess of US$7.8 billion compared to a pre-issuance target of US$ 1.0 billion demonstrating strong market appetite for Nigeria. This is despite continued volatility in emerging and frontier markets and shows confidence by the international investment community in Nigeria's economic reform agenda.
The offering attracted significant interest from leading global institutional investors. The Notes will be admitted to the official list of the UK Listing Authority and available to trade on the London Stock Exchange's regulated market. The Republic will apply for the Notes to be eligible for trading and listed on the Nigerian FMDQ OTC Securities Exchange and the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
The pricing was determined following a roadshow led by Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, the Honorable Minister of Finance, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, the Honorable Minister of Budget and National Planning, Godwin Emefiele, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr. Abraham Nwankwo, the Director-General of the Debt Management Office (DMO) and Mr Ben Akabueze, the Director General of the Budget Office, to key global financial centres.
Commenting following the successful pricing, Minister of Finance Adeosun said: "Nigeria is implementing an ambitious economic reform agenda designed to deliver long-term sustainable growth and reduce reliance on oil and gas revenues while reducing waste and improving the efficiency of government expenditure. At the heart of the agenda is a commitment to invest in developing Nigeria's infrastructure through a target 30 per cent annual budget commitment to capital expenditure. We are establishing the building blocks for long-term growth and making the hard decisions that must be made to reset our economy appropriately."

BWW Reviews: THE TROUBLE WITH WORDS Continues to Astound Audiences at the Lost Studio Through April 12
THE TROUBLE WITH WORDS is a song cycle that explores the relationship people have with words, as well as with each other, as they struggle to connect. In examining how human beings are brought together and pulled apart by words, the songs range from devastating to laugh-out-loud funny. Prior to winning its Ovation Award in 2011 for Original Music and Lyrics, The Trouble With Words had been named Best Musical at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
And I can certainly see why! This has to be one of the best musical reviews I have ever seen, due to the fabulously talented cast, expert direction and choreography, and the amazing 6-piece orchestra led by Gregory Nabours with Brian Morales, Brian Cannady, David Lee, Taylor Harb, and Darryl Black. Rock music never sounded so good!
The cast of The Trouble With Words features (in alphabetical order) Julianne Donelle, Aimee Karlin, Jamie Mills, Chris Roque, Ryan Wagner, and Robert Wallace. Each is a triple-threat, demonstrated in each song but especially in the Latin-flavored Act 1 finale "Sextet/Don't Try To Go." The expert and clean choreography, not to mention the wonderful harmonies and music, thrilled all my senses. These are actors who love to sing and dance and do it all with precision. It was an exuberant celebration of life and love that never dies.
There is so much to rave about with 18 marvelous numbers in settings from the subway to a balcony, street corner to a bar. "Gotta Get Laid" is certainly one of the most entertaining pieces of theater I have ever seen with the men moaning their lack of what they need while the women tease and strut their stuff.
And if you have ever been in the situation of not getting along with the wife of your husband's best friend, you will certainly sympathize with the two women stuck at a "Complimentary Brunch" which turns out to be nothing of the sort. "The Haircut" is a fun duet about how to talk to a woman without upsetting her unintentionally. Many individual numbers were standouts including "The Kid With a Heart On," "Here We Go Again," and the Manhattan Transfer flavored "Tongue-Tied."
I strongly encourage every musical theatre aficionado in Los Angeles to see this show as I cannot offer enough praise for the entire production.
The only improvement I would appreciate being made would be to the sound level balance between orchestra and singers so the lyrics do not get lost in the exuberance of the music. Then again, perhaps that was the point since the trouble with words is that they are often not heard the way they were meant to be spoken.
THE TROUBLE WITH WORDS with music and lyrics by Gregory Nabours, choreography by Janet Roston, and directed by Patrick Pearson is being presented by Coeurage Theatre Company through Friday, April 12 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 7pm at The Lost Studio on S. La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles 90038. All seats are available on a Pay What You Want basis, and may be reserved online at https://coeurage.secure.force.com/ticket, or by calling (323) 944-2165.

Canal de la Sauldre
"Le Canal de la Sauldre", the common link between
The Canal Sauldre was designed to improve agriculture in Sologne. It was intended to bring the marl (natural mixture of limestone, sand and clay) abundant on the borders of the "Pays-Fort", to amend the acid soil of a region thus infertile. It should also be used for irrigating fields with water loaded with marl, and drainage of the Sologne, very wet in many places.

Från skaparna av Samurai champloo och Cowboy Bebop!
"Michiko is a stunning escaped convict with lethal looks and a deadly disrespect for the lawmen trying to hunt her down. Hatchin is a hapless orphan pushed to the breaking point by the sadistic spawn of her fiendish foster parents. On their own, these chicas are nothing more than a Yin searching for its Yang, but when fate - in the form of a mysterious hombre from their past - brings them together, the world better watch out!
With the future dead-ahead and la policia hot on their heels, Michiko and Hatchin burn rubber through exotic locals where danger lurks around every corner. It's two against the world in this sun-soaked, Latin-tinged tale of partners in crime who won't stop running till they chase down a dream."

|there's something about this photo that I really love. I don't know if it is the colors or the texture...
BTW, in the back the hood is up and someone is trying to get the motor running
Apologies for the radio silence. I'm stuck in a time machine, after several days run up where my left brain was preparing a dinosaur party while my right brain was trying to ensure that I was fully prepared for my mission to Ethiopia.
In short, my left brain rocked, my right brain did not.
I thought I was arriving 2 pm Monday and decided to take it easy and start on the following morning. Instead I arrived 2am, which gave me a full day to myself to prepare and maybe even go for a stroll before getting on the conveyor belt. Unfortunately, it was 2am on the following morning, so a couple of hours after I'd gone to bed I got a call from the Lobby as I was already late for my first meeting.
"but it's Monday??"
"no mam, it's Tuesday"
when's the last time you had that conversation...
My clothes are completely inappropriate. I went with the "I'm going to Africa. I will be warm"
Africa - 2

Model Jessica Watson, Photographed & Styled by Tiffany Egbert
After a week of not blogging I have so much to share! This week on top of a mass amount of celebration I managed to fit in two photoshoots with some of my favorite ladies who were my first ever Kitten Paws models. They both have moved away in the last year and a half, Jess to LA and Miss Elina to NYC but were in town for the holidays so a snagged them for a quick afternoon of photoshooting. I decided I'm going to break the shoots up into a few different posts because there were so many great images.
The first shoot with Jess I had her in several different vintage wedding gowns and some new headpieces I had made. Crazy photo shoot story - We shot at is this beaaautiful grove that's on the property of this church called, The Grove. We went inside to say hi and use the bathroom and the Pastor who happened to marry my friend Jess who was modeling the wedding gowns and her husband Adam who was also with us shooting some video, happened to be sitting at the front desk. How weird is that??! This is a church somewhat in the middle of no where that none of us had gone to so I think it was pretty funny and strange. Any who above is probably my favorite piece I shot all week. I'll be sharing more photos in the next few days on the blog and am currently as we speak making a massive shop update. Lots of new dresses, awesome coats and handmade flower headpieces. Check check check it!

I doubt that most non-lawyers could name even a single member (certainly not more than one) of the Supreme Court of Canada. Certainly more people on both sides of the border remember Clarence Thomas, thanks to the brutally invasive Senate confirmation hearing he endured.
The members of the U.S. Supreme Court play a key role in American public life — which is what makes the looming constitutional crisis over a replacement for the late Antonin Scalia so fascinating, and its comparison with how Canadian Supreme Court justices are chosen so instructive.
In Canada, appointment to the Supreme Court is an executive prerogative belonging to the prime minister. Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) are nominated by the president and then appointed "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate". Candidates cannot be sworn in unless and until they are confirmed by the Senate following an intensive televised examination, conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
It's hard to overestimate the political freight riding on each SCOTUS appointment. It's the highest court in the land; its appellate jurisdiction is final and it is the ultimate interpreter of the Constitution and constitutional rights. U.S. Supreme Court justices have life tenure — subject to impeachment, which has never happened. In Canada, Supreme Court justices face mandatory retirement at age 75 and the federal Parliament has a limited veto over some constitutional decisions through the Charter's 'notwithstanding clause'; no comparable veto is held by the U.S. Congress.
Scalia's death creates an important vacancy. The court is now considered "hung" — evenly split between conservative and liberal jurists. President Obama has indicated he will move swiftly to fill the vacancy so that the Court can function. With important matters involving reproductive rights, labour legislation and electoral district redrafting on the SCOTUS docket, advocates and politicians are rapidly staking out their ground.
Some Republican presidential candidates, such as Senator Ted Cruz, have criticized the power exercised by the Supreme Court, since it is unelected. Most Republicans are arguing that the president, now in the last 11 months of his tenure, should allow the vacancy to be filled by his successor.
In arguing that Obama should lay off, his opponents are on strong ground politically — even if their arguments are constitutionally weak. The irony here is that Justice Scalia, the most conservative voice on SCOTUS, subscribed to the 'original intent' doctrine of constitutional interpretation — which insists that the words in the document have the same meaning today as in 1779. Article II says that the president picks Supreme Court justices "with the advice and consent of the Senate" — no exceptions made for bitter presidential election campaigns.
So the one respected conservative voice in the land who would be least likely to agree that Obama should defer the appointment of his successor is Antonin Scalia — and he's not part of this debate.
The Senate will do what the Senate does, however. No nominee since Robert Bork has been rejected outright. But the Republicans have a majority in the Senate and if Senators Cruz and Rubio and their ilk are dissatisfied with Obama's nominee, they will delay, obfuscate and filibuster to make sure the matter never gets to a vote.
Notwithstanding the pressure he is under to appoint a liberal jurist, I believe President Obama isn't likely to get a nominee confirmed. Senators have never been shy about embarrassing a jurist — not if allows them to do damage to the nominator and his party in the process.
In Canada, the prime minister faces no constitutional impediment when making judicial appointments. However, given the important role the SCC justices play, about a dozen years ago Parliament started experimenting with a process allowing Members of Parliament a consultative role in SCC appointments. The process, commenced under Chretien and Martin, evolved over time. I participated in the 2011 Supreme Court Selection Panel, which filled two vacancies from the province of Ontario.
The Department of Justice provided a list of twelve nominees. The five-member committee (three members from the government caucus) vetted the applicants without meeting them. Written judgements and academic works were reviewed and the committee met with eminent jurists, academics and lawyers familiar with the candidates but not themselves under consideration.
A shortlist of three candidates for each vacancy was prepared, from which the prime minister made his pick. The successful appointees appeared before a televised parliamentary committee to answer largely puffball questions. The process worked reasonably well and — the usual stickhandling by the PMO notwithstanding — I am confident that Justices Michael Moldaver and Andromache Karakatanis were the very best of an exemplary group under consideration. (I am sworn to never disclose the names of the remaining jurists who were under consideration.)
This in-camera process was repeated in 2012 — then attempted and botched in 2013, when excessive executive interference in the process devolved into a conclusion-driven search. Ultimately, the prime minister's choice, Marc Nadon, was declared ineligible for the job by the very court to which he was to be appointed. Nobody's tried to have parliamentarians participate in appointments to the Supreme Court since.
And there's the rub. In Canada, it's the courts — not Parliament — that serve as the sole check on executive power. In the U.S., on the other hand, that check against executive overreach is provided through its mandated separation of powers and rigid system of balances. In the case of Scalia's replacement, gridlock is the likeliest outcome; the vacancy may remain vacant for some time.
In Canada, our Parliament is impotent to block even an ineligible and unconstitutional nominee. In the U.S., the Senate can block or hold up any nominee it wants for whatever reason it wants.
Canada needs more checks on executive power — the U.S., arguably fewer.
Ironically, if an appellate court is tied, the appeal is dismissed and the judgement under appeal is affirmed. Unless this political impasse can be overcome, the circuit and state appeal courts might collectively displace SCOTUS as the highest judicial authority in the land.
Brent Rathgeber was the Conservative MP for the riding of Edmonton—St. Albert from 2008 to 2013, when he resigned from the Conservative caucus to protest the Harper government's lack of commitment to transparency and open government. He ran and lost in the 2015 federal election to a Conservative candidate. He is the author of Irresponsible Government: The Decline of Parliamentary Democracy in Canada.

We spent several hours shooting both his head shots and some stock images. Quinton was a blast work with. Friendly and motivated he took direction really well.
We talked about Model Mayhem, a website where models and photographers can find each other. More than that there are casting calls for models, photographers and other people in the field like MakeUp Artists and Designers. They have forums where you can ask questions and get critiques. It's really quite the community once your in.
There are other modeling sites out there but I'm partial to Model Mayhem since I'm a Gatekeeper there.

Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a specific endodontic procedure which treats the problems related to pulp tissue's exposure to bacteria. Though most believe it to be a very painful procedure, a root canal is actually no more painful than the process undertaken for filling a tooth.
The procedure itself becomes a requisite when an infection or inflation develops or reaches the pulp tissue which lies inside your tooth. The tissue consists of various nerves and blood vessels, as a result when you do need a root canal you will know because of the excruciating pain you will feel once your pulp tissue is exposed to infection and inflammation.
One of the leading reasons for a root canal treatment is that the pulp tissue gets exposed to bacteria. The enamel and dentin in a healthy tooth is there to protect this very sensitive core of your tooth. However if you suffer from cavities, and have a hole in your teeth, the bacteria might eat into the rest of your teeth and quickly expose the center of your teeth.
Injuries from accidents and other sports activities can also lead to trauma caused by damage to the pulp tissue, in this case it is advised that you quickly get proper treatment done. Sometimes, having multiple crowning and filling procedures done to the same tooth may also lead to pulp tissue exposure.
What to Expect From A Root Canal
An anesthetic is administered to numb the nerves that surround the tooth and the surrounding area. A small opening is made to provide access to root canal. Tiny instruments are utilized to pull out dead and dying pulp tissue from inside the tooth. The empty canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and refilled for added protection. The small opening that was previously created to pull out dead tissue is then sealed with adhesive cement for the prevention of infection in the future.
Your tooth might be sensitive and a little soft in the days that follow the root canal procedure. There might be some general discomfort but over the counter pain killers can be very effective in alleviating the pain. After a few days you will start feeling back to normal and the tenderness and sensitivity will subside.
Signs that Point Towards Root Canal Issues
If your tooth is sensitive to cold or hot, you have facial swelling, pain, or pressure in your mouth, you may need an expert opinion. Don't hesitate go to call your BayView Dental dentist to for and exam and x-rays. The problem is best treated early before it becomes too painful.

nothing you can sing that can't be sung
The reason I think of this on the brink of a crunch game against fake rivals France that is not likely to throw up great football or shining examples of sporting spirit is that I take comfort in the fantasy that Rino, or perhaps his good friend Marco Materazzi, will line-up opposite the French with their heads held high, and on cue after the opening bars of La Marseillaise, will boom "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!" at their opponents.
It might insult the national sentiments of the French, but then it might also get Nicolas Anelka to smile.
I am interested in human behaviour during the blaring of the anthems. One of pop culture's frequent tests of the measure stupidity among the public is to stop people on the street and demand them to repeat the words of the national anthem [at least, this happens frequently on youth channels on Indian TV]. I suppose the footballing population contains the same pecentage of people who cannot tell you the words of their anthem as the wider populace. Choosing to keep mum and let the others get on with it rather than expose your powers of intellectual retention as weak is a courteous way of doing things.
Surely there are those who choose this method to register a social protest, and I generally applaud the gesture. It would be silly to take a chance to represent your country and not give your very best while playing, but if you wanted to express disgust with your government's policies, or at the way they treat your community, or simply because you don't like patriotic fervour, this seems like a highly visible yet perfectly honourable way to do it. The trouble is, I'm not sure if anyone among the throng of mute footballers at Euro 2008 is doing this. I'm a little disappointed.
On the flip side, of course there is something appealing about a grand gesture of solidarity. Before their opening game against Austria, every starter on the Croatian team raised hand to heart before they started to sing. Perhaps in a different political situation, or against different opponents, it may have seemed less benign. What may seem like swaggering arrogance in one country - or one sport, or one tournament - is a simple mark of committment in another. If the Indian football team ever qualified for a World Cup, I wouldn't be displeased to hear a familiar ditty before the start of a match. Of course, it would mean nothing if they didn't bother to play their best after the singing, which is what will ultimately matter to those who like such a thing as 'national pride' to be quantifiable and result-based. We'd never heckle them at the airport for anything less.
I've been boring everyone I meet with news of my morbid fascination with Marco van Basten. The graven image in those videos and YouTube pages has suddenly drawn breath -- in rather a scary, Darth Vaderish fashion, appropriate to the buzzcut and the blank, focused stare -- and become a very alarming but intriguing human character. For someone who went into the tournament with roughly the same number of question marks over his head as Roberto Donadoni, he's certainly pulled ahead. [Donadoni has helped with that, no lie.] I think I could live with his winning streak continuing, just to see those goal celebrations.

Zlatan, apparently, is one of those who do not know their national anthem. He and his bearded Viking defender friend got into a tickle fest over this.

One of these days, I must find you a video of Denmark playing at home. They generally tend to stop the music, because the singing is so loud that you can't hear it anyways ... and I suspect that they're quite smug about it. It never fails to freak me out, just a little bit.

Once again, I will throng every possible football website and read every bit of news on the Italian team...
Once again, I will get up at 4 am on a weekday and watch every minute of the game, streaming on my laptop...
Forza Azzurri.
The dutch will send a weaker squad out, even if not with any false designs.
Once again, like Euro 2005, I will pray that luck favours the Azzurri...
Azzurri beating France 2-1. Romania drawing Holland 1-1.
Arise St. Antonio............balls to national pride, for self-pride, for the love of the game.

As a human being the political sense might supercede the sporting self..i suppose, it is of no wonder in europe,with the likes Luis Aragones; who might even call you shit!

Domenech to be paraded as part of the Tour de France publicity caravan so that the citoyens can throw overripe vegetables at him.
The anthem thing became a big deal here in Italy as part of the contretemps over Camoranesi's call up. He didn't know the words (they aren't easy) and his failure to sing was taken as a sure sign of perfidity by the more xenophobic elements of the populace. All was forgotten in the warm afterglow of his hair cut in Berlin.

@ Angha: See, this is where I want to believe he is being an incandescent revolutionary. I'm prepared to admit a slight bias, however.
@ Sofie: I can't quite believe it myself. But I am thinking of Michael Laudrup - could he ever do anything obnoxiously?
@ rahul: Oh, dear boy, you bring tears to my eyes. Rejoice, rejoice.
@ clash: Indeed. I hope Aragones would not call me a shit. I would regret having to trip him up with my modestly-shod foot.
@ hingshuti: He's probably really tired of it, having been around since 1930 or thereabouts, bless the old brick.
@ Ursus: Indeed - I wonder if Philippe Mexes finds it in himself to laugh at their plight. I didn't watch last night [stuck to Netherlands-Romania in all superstition] -- I hardly dared believe.
The anthem thing became a big deal here in Italy as part of the contretemps over Camoranesi's call up.
I've been wondering what sort of debate went on over that one. I am by no means resolved on any one side of players playing for countries other than that of origin; it seems too complex to be absolutely decided. I wonder if similar debates were had over the oriundi in the post-war years.
Having said that, I find myself perfectly able to accept Camoranesi; but I don't know if I'll be able to deal with Amauri in an Azzurri jersey. [Not a pleasing personality, that one.]
- June 18, 2008 at 2:56 AM
- ursus arctos said...
I obviously wasn't around at the time, but my sense is that there was much less of a debate about the first few waves of oriundi for at least two reasons:
1) they were instrumental in Italy winning two World Cups and it was considered especially "furbo" (clever, cunning, etc.) to have stolen players from direct rivals like Uruguay and Argentina; and
2) the experience of emigration to South America was still something that a very significant portion of the Italian population had personal experience with, either through relatives or neighbours.
The context is considerably different now, because that wave of immigration is now several generations removed (while the one that was responsible for Perrotta being born in England and Gattuso's parents having spent significant time in Germany is much more "current").
And of course the current virulent anti-immigrant campaign being pushed by the Lega Nord and certain other members of the governing coalition has an effect as well.
There will be a debate about Amauri (who is also seen as more opportunistic in his choice than Camaronesi), but after Toni's performance in SwissAustria, there may well be less of one than there would have been otherwise.

We create soft savings, guaranteed hard savings, and even create significant new and predictable investment recovery streams through expert facilities management.
Our program is all about transparency, thereby changing complex multi-vendor, multi-campus, multi-point in-house programs into a single point of contact for all requests, at all times, from any location, and any device. Simply put, your team members and administrators will all be kept apprised of each step in your specific processes.
We also bring unique solutions such as:
Enhanced Asset Management© (view current auctions)
Ours is the only program of its kind in the nation, employing a statistical method—along with a sales support platform—designed to maximize investment recovery for healthcare assets. Our cutting edge, proprietary method ensures the most capital for your assets.
The method: Using scenario modeling to produce predictable outcomes for asset valuations and realizations, HHS uses the Towers Method©—which has been refined since 2001—to statistically project the final value of large portfolios of completely different classes of assets over a given period of time.
The platform: Honed over the past 25 years, the sales platform achieves price realization through exposure to a worldwide market of buyers pre-screened for slated assets via online auction, private sale, and equipment trade desks. The expected prices are guaranteed by HHS many months in advance. Pre-sale processes allow for assets to be inventoried, loaded for viewing, and claimed within the healthcare system before sale. Assets can also be donated to your qualified organizations through the system at no cost. In this regard, transfer of liability is achieved to conforming system standards rather than local preference or relationship. Should no sale or donation occur, HHS can manage the salvage process through our sustainable integrated waste stream programs.

Need Brain Cells? Just Grow More!
I love technology, In fact you could say its what I live for, or lose sleep over. I spend a tremendous amount of time searching for all kinds of stuff that has what I like to call "cool factor" and while I've come across some pretty amazing things, seldom am I as impressed, as when I read about medical advances. After learning about some of the developments in medical tech, I feel like I'm reading a sci fi novel and I love it.
British scientists have discovered a way to grow brain tissue by reprogramming human skin, previously this kind of "manufacture" was possible only by means of embryonic cells, which carried with it moral and ethical concerns and subsequently slowed the availability of both the necessary cells, and appropriate funding for further study. The ability to grow this tissue from skin, has so many wonderful implications, like recreating brain disease for further study, drug testing, treatments for Alzheimers, stroke, epilepsy or Parkinsons? I can dream can't I?
Imagine the ability of scientists to actually watch the development of a disease, and follow treatments designed to stop the diseases progression. Ultimately they may be able to watch brain development and study the processes that cause things to go awry. Autism? Learning disabilites? Will it one day be possible to repair damaged areas of the brain? It is discoveries like this, that make me wish that I could only live long enough to see just what we humans will accomplish someday.
See? Amazing right? My Grandma had Parkinsons disease. I knew what it was like, and I hope this fantastic development can eventually help millions of people fighting with MS or neuro-degenerative diseases or recovering from a stroke, or head injury. This would truly have some wicked "cool factor" am I right? and if they have any leftovers, I have plenty of room up there….

Welcome to The RentalGuy storefront. Please look around for an item to rent.
Nice wet saw, made many good cuts and requires no hose connection. Just keep water in the reservoir and cut. But wear safety glasses when cutting.
Very useful in trimming the tiles along the walls. Once you find the right amount of pressure to use your tile cutting will be a breeze.

Woodland Gardens Tour recap
Woodland Gardens
February 27, 2012
It was 3 weeks ago today that about 17 of us went down to visit Celia Barrs and Woodland Gardens to learn everything we could about how she uses her greenhouses to maximize her production. There was a ton to learn here's a quick snapshot:
• Haygrove Tunnels - great for tractor work, summer house, not great for winter. 20x100 and 13ft high.
• Raised beds on the whole farm - she has heavy clay soils and she wants them to drain.
• High Tunnels - permanent beds, work by hand, never walk on the beds. Use organically approved compost (poultry based) and alfalfa meal for nutrients, feather meal on long crops like tomatoes. P is high so mainly applying N. Do cover crop but have to manage by handwork, and must take the heat so focus on buckwheat and millet. Replace plastic every 5 years on average due to loss in light transmission. Make sure water moves away from houses, the side beds will still stay wet, and in winter can slow growth down.
• Pest Control – aphids get out of hand when you don't open your house a lot, or too high N. In general the more healthy your plant is the less susceptible to pests, but for things like tomato fruit worm we use Bt. We have vegetable weevils in the winter, goes after asian greens, carrots, arugula, spinach. For that we use Entrust which is Spinosad. Only have to spray once, tend to do later in the day b/c they do most feeding at night. Yellow margin leaf beetle, comes in May. Loves asian greens. Just stop growing them that late.
• Greenhouse Planting Cycle – direct seeded in the winter, carrots, beets, arugula, spinach using an Earthway seeder (except carrots by hand). We thin carrots to one inch, beets to 3" so they'll grow uniformly. Carrots in winter take 3 months. Arugula 6 weeks, Bok choy 4 weeks, beets 2 to 2.5 months. Lettuce will be going outside really soon. Plant less and less in houses in mid-march and phase out to prepare for tomatoes. Lettuce can take a frost (especially with row cover when really young). Always use new drip on tomatoes to reduce soil-borne disease pressure. Sterilize other things with hydrogen peroxide dilution (3-4%). We plant small amounts all the time. Lettuce and carrots get planted every week. Beets and arugula every 2 weeks. Rotations, we're often back to the same family within about a year. Very intensive. Carrots may go, lettuce, bok choy. We never go right into the same family. Tomatoes yield dramatically higher in the hoophouse than outside. Never do broccoli or cauliflower in a house (takes 3 months and too much space for too little yield).
• Flowers – Do cut flowers in summer outside. Only grow highest value in the greenhouses, redunculus and freesia.
• Income – She strives for $100 a month on a 45 foot bed. If carrots take 3 months (should yield $300). Labor is biggest cost, with 5-6 employees paid at $12 an hour. Uses Quickbooks to do all the invoiceing. We make the most money off of tomatoes, lettuce and arugula.
• Specific Crop Tips - I see a lot of people struggle with carrots (good tilth and even moisture during germination is key). I like arugual and lettuce outside starting in April. Keeping the rain off of tomatoes controls a lot of stuff (outside). Manage tomatoes in hoop houses. They'll grow fast. Have trellising system figured out, you'll want to prune cause you'll have too much vegetative growth, want to have good airflow, and pollination is a factor too. We hand pollinate our tomatoes in the center of the houses. Beans are not a super high value crop. Pole beans yield better, and easier to harvest. People in Atlanta don't like pole beans (but chef's love 'em). I do rattlesnake, and northeaster.
There was a whole lot more discussed....so Here's a link to the full 1 hour and 45 minutes. Download it and listen on your i-pod if you do that kind of thing.
Apologies for the buzzing towards the end. If I was too far away the antenna microphone didn't pick up.
Please make suggestions for farm tours you'd like to do in the future. They're pretty fun right? Mark Tuesday, April 24th for our next Tour at Taylor Creek Farms.
One more plug. Take a look at the website and scroll down to this specific post with the Georgia Mountain Farm Tour outline. This will give you a pretty good idea of what this idea is about. I'm slowly starting to ask around who would like to participate and have their farm featured on this tour. Your ideas are highly encouraged. For instance there may be advantages to having 8-10 farms featured on Saturday and another 8-10 different farms featured on Sunday. That way you guys can actually visit each others farms. The bigger jump we have on some of this planning by our April meeting the better.
Thanks folks,
Justin Ellis

My initial reaction to Janelle Monáe's seminal breakthrough album, the wonderful The ArchAndroid, was bafflement at the fact she was not a huge star already. She had the charisma, the voice, and the songs to conquer the world, and yet despite that album's stellar critical reception, she remained someone outside the mainstream spotlight. Why? Her career since then suggests she asked herself the same question.
A couple of years after The ArchAndroid's release, Monáe returned in 2013 with The Electric Lady, which featured guest appearances from the likes of Miguel, Erykah Badu, and none other than Prince. If that album didn't quite reach the heights of her previous one, it seemed to have had the desired effect as Sunday night she was the headliner at the Hollywood Bowl, as iconic a show as you could hope for.
As her excellent backing band launched into "Givin Em What They Love," Monáe took to the stage with the confidence that has been there since the beginning. The tuxedo get-up is gone and the songs are new, but Janelle Monáe remains unchanged as a performer as far as her approach goes.
Thank goodness for that. Monáe is almost unmatched as a pop star stage presence, and she maintained an unbelievable level of energy and effervescence for the duration of the set. She has the vocal chops to match Beyonce, but with just enough of the art-school outsider element to make her seem in touch with the rest of us mere mortals. She can also make a Jackson 5 medley detour sound fresh, although she needed a little help with a cover of the played-to-death James Brown staple "I Feel Good."
I could quite happily die without hearing that song ever again, but this version was a little different. When Monáe said she was bringing an idol of hers out to the stage, there was a moment of anticipation followed by a lot of "Holy shit, that's Stevie Wonder!" type reactions. It was indeed the legend himself, and watching him perform with Monáe was enough of a novelty to make the performance the highlight of the show, though it says something about Monáe's wattage that Wonder still looked very much a supporting player.
The second half of her set contained older songs, and as a double whammy, it's hard to beat "Cold War" and "Tightrope," which sound as fresh and dynamic now as they did before we were familiar with their creator. Monáe also managed to make the ballad "Primetime" take off late in the set, her range giving it a power on stage that it perhaps lacks on record.
And then it all finished with the obligatory extended version of "Come Alive," complete with a wild performance from the Electric Lady that suggested it takes every ounce of willpower she has to keep her inner freak under control. She needn't worry too much. Clearly the crowd loves the inner freak, the outer star, and the small but fierce package that contains the two. The show may have been slick and brilliantly professional, but that's nothing new for Janelle Monáe. The stages have just got a lot bigger.

Last Thursday, artist Olafur Eliasson, with some architects from the area (OMA, Field Operations, Steven Holl, DS+R, BIG, etc.), unveiled The Collectivity Project on the High Line at 30th Street. It looked like this:
[Photo by Timothy Schenck, courtesy of Friends of the High Line]
Two days later, when I visited with my wife, our daughter, and some friends, it looked more like this:
My wife overheard somebody who worked at one of the participating architecture firms say that their "building" was completely unrecognizable. For me, the most signature model from the ones shown at top is the OMA contribution in the left foreground, a mini version of their unbuilt 23 West 22nd Street project (a design meant for LEGOs really). With only a bit of the walls with windows intact, the design looked pedestrian:
So as quickly as 36 hours the creations of notable architects were reduced to rubble, in some cases, or strange hybrids. Their creations will be something else entirely by the time The Collectivity Project ends in late September. There's a lesson here somewhere, but all I know is my daughter really enjoyed it, and I can't imagine any kid who wouldn't:

Here is what he has to say.
They came, they saw...and by all accounts, they conquered. The papers scream that it was a marvellous, mind-blowing show, with Tyler and Co. belting out all our favourite numbers and holding us in thrall for all of two hours. Maybe they're reviewing some other show that I wasn't invited to, for it sure didn't turn out all hunky dory for the poor fans who swarmed the palace grounds on Saturday!
After two days of unending fawning reviews...someone has to say it... "The sound quality at the show SUCKED big time!". Thanks DNA for screwing us over... wait.. that should read, thanks DNA, for making us drive an hour each way, treating us like cattle through the gates, packing us like sardines into a pint-sized ground, taking nearly 50$ from us and THEN screwing us over.
Which is not to say that it wasn't a good concert. Somewhere, between a great performance by the band, and a great crowd that sang along to most of the songs at some stage or the other, this was indeed a good concert, despite the sound engineer's best efforts to screw it all up. Tyler and Perry played some wonderful numbers... "Sweet Emotion", Dream On, Walk this way, Falling in Love Is...,Livin' on the Edge... it's one long list! I also think they genuinely tried to reach out to the fans.
However, it was a sad spectacle to see Perry's guitar reduced to an anonymous, also-ran sound, Tyler's ear-shattering "Demon"screams were reduced to a purr, and you really couldn't hear anything distinctly beyond the woofer belching out the beats. I thought the saddest parts were when the bassist went center stage to play out his solo and you couldn't hear a damn thing despite Tyler specifically requesting them to "fuzz it up", and poor Perry's rocking bluesy "Mess Around" guitar work fading anonymously into the background.
So thanks to Aerosmith for coming down and doing their best. It was still a memorable show. We hope you'll come again. We hope you'll play more of the hit songs we so desperately want to hear ("Pink" and "Janie..." were the mostly loudly demanded on my side of the crowd... tho' if you were to go by what DNA says on its site http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1100759, they actually played "Janie got a gun"... go figure... or maybe.. wait... maybe ... we just couldn't hear it! Schmucks!), and we hope to god we can actually hear you play the next time around.. we Don't Wanna Miss a Thing either y'know!
And here's to the real heroes of the day... the fans who came out, sang along wildly and made it a great memorable show!
Rock on!
To Mr. Sound Engineer... from the Monopoly Man - Go to school, go directly to school, do not return till you pass, do not screw us over again.

Jim Parker was an executive at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and WellPoint, both of Indianapolis, for 14 years, including a year and a half as chief of staff to CEO Angela Braly. He now is president of his own consulting firm, Meridian Strategic Advisors, in Indianapolis. He spoke about the impact of the new health reform law on health insurers.
IBJ: You ran the Anthem insurance plan in Maine for several years. If you had had to adhere to the requirements in the new national health law—guaranteed coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions, pricing based on community instead of individual health status, a minimum level of benefits, and a requirement to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on medical claims—would you have been able to make money?
A: The short answer is: probably. In the Maine market, insurers were required to give guaranteed coverage to any applicant. We were also required to do modified community rating. You could adjust your rates for a limited number of factors (e.g., age, geography). The biggest difference between this law and the Maine market is that, in the Maine market, there was no requirement that you purchase coverage. So what happens is that people who aren't sick or for those for whom the premiums are on the brink of affordability, just drop out of the pool. In the individual market, those premiums would increase 10 [percent] to 20 percent every year. All of our competitors who previously offered coverage to that market left that market. So it wasn't a good outcome. The reform law's requirement for individuals to have coverage would overcome this problem. But the enforcement mechanisms may not be high enough to be effective. If the mandate proves to be effective and helps people stay insured, there's a chance we can avoid many of the problems we experienced in Maine. But that's still an "if."
IBJ: Massachusetts is three years into a law similar to the one President Obama just signed. It has been successful at achieving near-universal coverage and is popular with citizens. Yet costs have continued to spike, leading to a showdown between health insurers and the governor. Do you think Massachusetts is a good bellwether for national reform? Why or why not?
A: It very well could be. This national health reform, at its core, is insurance market reform, which really doesn't do much to fundamentally change the picture with respect to health care costs. So in Massachusetts they enacted health care reform, which was principally health insurance reform. But they didn't do much of anything at all to make the cost of care more affordable. I think what we're seeing in Massachusetts is really worth paying attention to, because this could be precursor of what we see in many states. There will be a very real political interest to trying to stand in the way of insurance premium increases that the insurance industry will argue are necessary and actuarially justified. So you're going to have a showdown.
IBJ: Many people have said the new health law is a big step, but one that will require much more work to reform the many problems in our health system. In your mind, what's the biggest thing needing to be done beyond the changes in this new law?
A: The largest remaining issue facing health care is how do we get our arms around the absolute growth [in cost] that's taking place. Perhaps the solution's out there, but we haven't found one that's politically viable. For better or worse, health care generally is such a politically focused and politically driven topic, that it's a market that's very difficult to correct without political involvement.
