A task force on school safety commissioned by the National Rifle Association raised the prospect Tuesday of arming school personnel – including teachers – after they have gone through comprehensive training.
Such a program would be voluntary, but could be crucial to halting an "active shooter" in a school and could save lives, said former Congressman Asa Hutchinson, director of the NRA's National School Shield Task Force.
"The key is reducing that response time," said Mr. Hutchinson, speaking at a press conference at the National Press Club, where he unveiled a series of recommendations by the task force.
The "model training programs" the report recommends would be available to both "school resource officers" – police officers assigned to a school – and to school personnel, and would entail 40 to 60 hours of training.
The report's release comes amid fierce debate on Capitol Hill over proposed federal gun legislation almost four months after the Newtown, Conn., elementary school massacre that jump-started national debate on firearms. President Obama heads to Colorado on Wednesday to call attention to new gun control measures enacted by that state, scene of two of the biggest mass shootings in US history.
Next Monday, the president goes to Connecticut for another event focused on guns.
The prospects for federal legislation remain uncertain, as gun-friendly legislators appear to have beaten back efforts to renew a ban on military-style assault weapons, such as the one used by the Newtown shooter. A proposed ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines is also on the ropes. Now, analysts say, gun control advocates' best hope may be for expanded background checks for gun buyers. The legislation also includes money devoted to school safety.
Hutchinson largely avoided discussing the federal legislative battle, instead focusing on measures that schools can take now to assess security and make improvements. He also presented a more congenial pro-gun face to the public, compared with NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre's memorable appearance before reporters soon after Newtown.
Then, Mr. LaPierre struck an aggressive posture toward the media, taking no questions, and offering no hint of compromise on any aspect of gun ownership.
"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," he said.
Hutchinson, in contrast, was less absolute. On Tuesday, for example, he made clear that the task force was not recommending that all teachers be armed.
"Teachers should teach," said Hutchinson, former administrator of the US Drug Enforcement Administration. "But if there is [one with] good experience, that has an interest in it and is willing to go through this training of, again, 40 to 60 hours that is totally comprehensive, then that is an appropriate resource that a school should be able to utilize."
Hutchinson also made clear that while the task force recommends the presence of armed personnel in schools, each school district will decide what it wants to do.
"We want to make sure that our best practices and our resources are available to them, whatever decision that they make," he said.
The report also recommends that the National School Shield become an umbrella organization on school safety, providing free access to a web-based assessment of a school's security plan and to a database of best practices. The NRA has budgeted more than $1 million to aid school districts in their efforts to enhance security.
States would need to change laws to allow school personnel to carry firearms while they go through the model training program, he said. The report includes a model state law, and South Dakota recently passed such a law.
In Connecticut, home of the Newtown massacre, state legislation is moving in the opposition direction. On Wednesday, the state's General Assembly will take up gun-control legislation that would expand the state's ban on assault weapons, limit ammunition magazines to 10 rounds, and require background checks for all gun purchases, including those at gun shows.
Hutchinson called the Connecticut legislation "totally inadequate" as a measure aimed at enhancing school safety.
"You can address assault weapons and it doesn't stop someone bringing in a .45 caliber firearm into the school," he said. "It doesn't stop violence in the schools. And so if you're going to protect children, you have to do something about school safety and enhancing our safety measures in school. It can be done, and that's the whole purpose of this task force."
Hutchinson did not present a total cost figure for the task force's proposals, noting for example that in one jurisdiction an armed guard might cost $60,000 to $90,000, while in California, the cost tops $100,000. Another member of the task force said that the cost of providing the 40 to 60 hours of firearms training to school resource officers and school personnel would cost between $800 and $1,000.
The task force did not address the specifics of how many armed personnel would be required to secure a school, based on the configuration of a school building or buildings, or the number of students. Doors are also important – how many there are, how they lock. Recess and other times when students might be outside present another vulnerability. On all of the above, each school district would have to make its own determination, Hutchinson said.
"Obviously, an SRO [school resource officer] in every school building is important," he said. "But right now you have SROs rotating maybe between three campuses. I would judge that insufficient."
The Democratic chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force took issue with the NRA task force proposal. Rep. Mike Thompson (D) of California, a hunter and gun owner, called school safety efforts important, but added that "arming school personnel and training them for shootouts will only exacerbate problems."

Tim Holtz has introduced another amazing technique that displays how Perfect Pearls and Distress Inks make a "Perfect" pair!
The two work well together because Perfect Pearls are pigment powders with a built in binder that will stick to anything that is wet - and Distress Inks stay wet a little longer than other inks in order to do techniques such as this, or even embossing!
The video is HERE and is called "Perfect Distress". The effect is just amazing. It makes a stamped image pearlized or shiny on top and the ink underneath moves around it to form a stunning outline of the image. I am sure you guys will have as much fun playing with this technique as I did.
The "Journey awakens the Soul" tag shown here has White Perfect Pearls on top of Black Soot Distress Ink. It is a little hard to see in this picture, but you can see it better in the video.
We have all of the Perfect Pearls Kits and accessories, plus anything Tim Holtz you can imagine in our store. **BLOG CANDY ALERT** Be sure to comment on your ideas for this technique. We will draw a random number at the end of the week and that person will win ONE of the Perfect Pearls Kits! Your choice of Pastels, Metallics, Interference, Aged Patina, Jewels, or Naturals! The kits come with a small Perfect Medium Pad and two sized of brushes!
Enjoy! ~TERRA

Storms leave wind damage in northern Illinois
Thunderstorms that punched through northern Illinois overnight Wednesday caused significant wind damage, mainly in rural areas west and south of Chicago.
Kankakee County was hard hit with at least three tornadoes confirmed by the National Weather Service.
A church under construction was torn down. And a horse was killed when a barn collapsed.
The National Weather Service says intense winds estimated to have reached 70-80 mph in some areas snapped large trees at their trunks or uprooted them entirely. Barns were destroyed in northern Kankakee County.
In Iroquois County, two funnel clouds were reported near Martinton. That prompted sirens to sound in Martinton and Donovan.
The storms that began Wednesday afternoon produced hail and heavy rain that caused some flash flooding. There were also reports of possible tornados from police and trained storm observers, including in the village of Paw Paw in Lee County and to the north in the Rockford area. Nearly 11,000 customers were still without power Thursday.
Weather service meteorologist Richard Castro says Chicago was largely spared because the intense line of thunderstorms formed to the south and east.

Wabash Hosts Poetry Day at Carnegie
by Jim Amidon
April 28, 2011
English Professor Marc Hudson and four of his student poets will take part in Poetry Day at the Carnegie Museum this Saturday from 2 to 4:00 p.m. Admission is free and activities are planned throughout the day.
"Four young poets — Joshua Bolton, Will McDonough, Adam Current, and Liam Smith — and I will be doing a presentation on poetry," said Professor Hudson. "We'll be talking a bit about poetry and reading or performing some poems. We will then do some writing activities with the museum patrons who would like to try their hands at poetry."
Kat Burkhart, who coordinates activities at the museum, said she hopes to build on the growing success of other Wabash-Carnegie partnerships like Brain Day and Pi Day.
For Poetry Day, Hudson and the students will take center stage, but there will be ample opportunities for audience participation.
Dr. Hudson has broken down poetry into its basic forms — poetry is music, poetry is paying attention to the moment, poetry is local.
Hudson and Bolton will perform poetry as music with Bolton singing a Hip Hop poem. In a section dubbed "Poetry is Nonsensical," Current will read a poem by Shel Silverstein.
McDonough will discuss and read a narrative poem in support of the idea that poetry can be story. Smith will read two poems to showcase how poetry is paying attention to the moment.
All of the poets will read a few local poems, before they break up to work with museum patrons and audience members. "I'll do a little workshop on writing — on image and setting a scene in poetry via 'My Mother's Kitchen' exercise —with crayons first, then writing," Hudson explained.
Meanwhile, the students will teach and workshop poems of their liking:
• Bolton will teach Hip Hop and invite people to write a bit in this vein.
• Smith will talk about the poem of the moment and drawing on the local to create a poem.
• McDonough will tell a story and invite folks to write a narrative poem.
• Current will invite folks to write a nonsense poem.
New creations will be read aloud, and all participants will be able to take part in two different workshops.

The greater the applied stress range, see the shorter the life. –somewhere on wikipedia
Maybe it isn't a proven scientific fact, but it is common knowledge that front-end developers deals with way more stress than back-end devs do. These people, working with CSS, HTML, JavaScript and all that is contained in a web page are becoming increasingly jealous of their back-end counterparts' quality of life. Here are the top 5 reasons why:
Compile time (or lack of)
This an outstanding source of stress. When you burst out a big chunk of code, you guys hit F5 and see the result, right? Not working? Get back to work. Now.
Back-end developers can always rely on compile time (or more contemporarily, build time) to relax a bit. They can soothingly peek at their EVE online character skill training queue, answer a couple of tweets, or practice their vi kung fu.
Source code management
In my experience, front-end devs aren't at ease with SCM (subversion, Git, etc). That means when there's a fire, a hard drive failure or a giant dinosaur spits fire on your laptop, you lose everything. Sure, there's a copy on the server, but that's not how you do things (and what if the dinosaur also ate the server?). Lots of time lost here, lots of stress.
Web standards
Web standards are a good thing. But web standards, as they are advertised right now, are a real joke: you still rely on browser maker's willingness on implementing them. You still have a lot of tweaks, hacks, and duplicated code to craft.
Standards for back-end programming (JEE, SOAP, SQL, to name a few) are well defined, and mandatory. The developer can lean on them and blame the product company which failed to implement them correctly (and get congratulated for it because you earned your company free support time).
Have you ever tried calling Microsoft, and open a support ticket for that unsupported CSS thing in IE?
The look
Even the worst snippet of C++ code, if it works, isn't judged by anyone. Why? Nobody understands it. Nobody gets to see the actual code, it's all 1s and 0s.
On the other hand, you front-end guys have to deal with the judging eyes of everyone in the company. You have to take all the "Meh. I still don't like that turquoise" … even if it 's the best darn piece of code you ever wrote! You literarily get stripped of all your intrinsic self-worth.
View source
What if you were in a crowd (a big one, think Tahrir square), and someone removed all your clothes. Nobody would like that, unless you're sexually deviant. That's what happens when some guy does a right-click -> view source on your code. Guilt, doubt, fear.
I fear for you guys. Really. I could suggest a couple of COBOL books, or Java certification classes, but if you already have a couple of years of experience behind you, I guess it's a little bit too late. What might help is if you try yoga, tai-chi, or as a last resort you could try the essential works of Yanni.
Back-end developer.

Middle Tennessee State Eliminated In C-USA Quarterfinals
NCAA Tournament bubble teams are getting some bad news. Middle Tennessee State lost 71-68 to Southern Miss in overtime in the quarterfinals of the Conference USA Tournament last night in Frisco, Texas. Conference USA was expected to be a one-bid league before the 24-and-7 Blue Raiders's defeat opened up the door for another team to get an automatic bid. The Golden Eagles are only 16-and-17.
The field of 68 will be announced during the NCAA Tournament selection show this Sunday.

Austin College alum and Athletics Hall of Honor member Mary Nickell has been named the new head men's and women's tennis coach of the Kangaroos, athletics director David Norman has announced.
"We are excited to have Mary lead our tennis program," said Norman. "As an alum, she appreciates that athletics at Austin College are also about developing character and building leaders for the future. Her passion for Austin College is quite special. We are thrilled to have her back on campus and now look forward to what she will achieve with our tennis programs."
Nickell graduated from Austin College in 1978 and received her masters degree from the College in 1979. While at Austin College, Nickell was a standout tennis, volleyball and softball player, being named both the tennis team's most valuable player and the Gene Day Female Athlete of the Year as well as being an All-Conference volleyball player. She was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Honor in 2000. Since graduating from Austin College, Nickell has been consistently teaching and coaching tennis at various levels, and brings a vast amount of knowledge and experience to the Kangaroos.
"I'm really excited to be at Austin College," said Nickell. "It feels like coming home. After having met with all of the coaches and staff at Austin College, I know it will be a great change of pace to be back on a college campus and working with of the folks here, especially the student-athletes."
Nickell has previously worked as a college head coach at Howard Payne University, where she helmed the tennis team from 1991 through 1996. She also coached tennis, volleyball, softball and basketball at Texoma Christian School between 2003 and 2007, and in fact began both the tennis and softball programs. Most recently, Nickell worked as a teacher at Melissa High School, where she taught biology and was a health and wellness teacher as well as coaching softball and assisting the tennis program from 2007 until 2011.
"Mary has a tremendous passion for the sport of tennis," said Vice President for Student Affairs and Athletics Tim Millerick. "We know that she will be able to impart that passion to our student-athletes and enable them to flourish at the College, within the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference and across the country as a result of her appointment."
Nickell takes over a pair of tennis programs that have continued to take great strides in recent years, with the women's team having recently cracked the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's regional rankings for the first time in program history the past two seasons.

Dear Occupiers and supporters:
I am currently organizing a project to bring together articles from political philosophers, ethicists, and other related theorists into a book which will be printed and delivered directly to #Occupations nationwide. The working title is "#OccupyTheory," and the book is motivated by the idea that we, in our professional expertise as philosophers, scholars, and theorists, have the ability to contribute in valuable ways to the conversations going on with #OWS and, through our contribution, help the movement. We want to get this book written, printed, and out in the streets as soon as possible, and ASAP is actually pretty soon, if we do this the right way.
Printing and distribution will be paid for through Kickstarter, unless we end up working with a large publisher who'll ship a large number to #Occupations nationwide pro bono. No matter what, though, the book (1) will be available online for free in pdf and ereader formats, (2) a significant number will be provided for free in hard copy to some of the larger #Occupations, (3) the book will be available to be carried by bookstores, and (4) will be available on a Print-on-Demand basis through Amazon.
My question for you at this stage in the project:
As someone involved with or interested in #OWS, what do you think we, as political philosophers and related scholars, can best contribute to the movement? If you could have us write about any topic or on any question, what would it be?
We have our own agenda individually, just like everyone else involved in #OWS, and each of us will write what we think is important and what we think is the most valuable and helpful thing that we can contribute. So your answer to the above won't determine what we write on, but I will use your responses to help write the Call for Papers that goes out, so if there's something you want to hear from us, ask it, and there's a good chance that a scholar somewhere will decide to write on it.
We'll also be doing an online open peer review process, and would like to invite not only academics, but also anyone involved in #OWS to contribute to the review process. We'll post information about how to participate in peer review here, when the time is right.
Please reply as a comment to this post. Thanks!

Planning District Commissions (PDC)
Virginia has 21 planning district commissions (PDCs), voluntary associations of local governments intended to foster intergovernmental cooperation by bringing together local elected and appointed officials and involved citizens to discuss common needs and determine solutions to regional issues.
The Virginia General Assembly created the statutory framework for the creation of the PDCs in 1968 through the passage of the Virginia Area Development Act. In 1995, the General Assembly modified the Area Development Act through the adoption of the Regional Cooperation Act Chapter 42, Title 15.2 of the Code of Virginia). The Regional Cooperation Act clearly articulates that PDCs were created to provide a forum for state and local government to address issues of a regional nature.
Another purpose of PDCs is to encourage and facilitate local government cooperation in addressing, on a regional basis, problems of greater than local significance. This cooperation is intended to help local governments solve their problems by enhancing the ability to recognize and analyze regional opportunities and take account of regional influences in planning and implementing public policies and services.
One important mechanism in helping localities meet these goals is the requirement that each PDC complete a regional strategic plan with participation from local governing bodies, the business community, citizen organizations and other interested parties. The strategic plan is required to include regional goals and objectives, strategies to meet those goals and mechanisms for measuring progress. The intent of the plan is to help promote the orderly and efficient development of the physical, social and economic elements of the planning district.
In addition to the strategic planning requirement, the Regional Cooperation Act identifies other duties of the planning district commissions:
- To conduct studies on issues and problems of regional significance;
- To identify and study potential opportunities for cost savings and staffing efficiencies through coordinated local government efforts;
- To identify mechanisms for the coordination of local interests on a regional basis;
- To implement services upon the request of member local governments;
- To provide technical assistance to local governments;
- To serve as a liaison between local governments and state agencies as requested;
- To review local government aid applications as required by applicable state and federal law and regulation;
- To develop regional functional area plans as deemed necessary by the commission or as requested by member local governments;
- To assist state agencies, as requested, in the development of substate plans;
- To participate in a statewide geographic information system, the Virginia Geographic Information Network, as directed by the Department of Planning and Budget; and
- To collect and maintain demographic, economic and other data concerning the region and member local governments and act as a state data center affiliate in cooperation with the Virginia Employment Commission.
In support of these duties and pursuant to Va. Code § 36-139.6, the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) distributes state general appropriation funding for each PDC. DHCD will distribute $1,785,321 in FY 2017 to the 21 PDCs.
Va. Code § 15.2-4215 requires each PDC to submit an annual report to its member local governments and the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) on how the PDC has met the provisions of the Regional Cooperation Act. Further, Va. Code § 36-139.6 provides that DHCD is to submit a biennial report to the Governor and General Assembly, as well as certain other state agencies, which includes findings as to compliance by the PDCs with the Regional Cooperation Act.

Beaded bags with this type of decorative motif were made by Micmac and Maliseet peoples from northern Maine and Eastern Canada in the 19th century. This beaded bag was made by an artisan in the 1860s using red wool with green cloth edging and with a multi-colored floral beaded decoration. The decorative motif used on this bag was also used on baskets, clothing, and footwear.

Nokia has published a rather humorous advertisement for its Lumia Windows Phones. Titled "127 seconds," it's a spoof of the movie 127hours. If you haven't yet seen the film, it's about a canyoneer who became trapped by a boulder in an isolated slot in Blue John Canyon. This time round, we're witnessing a man trapped by a falling wardrobe. If only he could use his smartphone to call for help.
Wearing pink gloves, the poor chap can't unlock his device as it doesn't feature Super Sensitive touch. If only he had a Lumia Windows Phone, which would enable him to keep those trendy gloves on and possibly even use the official Domino's app to order a pizza while waiting for medical assistance to arrive. You've got to think in advance, right?

I'm looking for basically a bedroom amp; something I can take to "Living room jam sessions", nothing too large or serious at this point. On a tight budget, so looking for the best value per sound quality I can find.
Something that will deliver a good "Byrds jangle"; I'm playing a Ricky Carl Wilson 12 string with the Janglebox enroute. ALSO; what about amps w/onboard modelling vs. an economy multi effects pedal, and what kind of multi effects are good ones for the money??
Les Fradkin mentioned to me, that for recording, he goes straight to the board, with the Janglebox and Vox Tone Lab pedal enroute. This does seem to be the standard for recording Ricky-12's; I believe this is how Roger has done it since at least "Back from Rio"?
But yeah; need something that I can play around on, that's going to sound reasonable. Don't need to make a ton of racket, or fill up Carnegie Hall, etc.
In "Old school terms", something between a Fender Champ, and a Twin Reverb, I'm thinking.
Been out of the loop for so long, there is so much to look at it!
And something that will also do justice for "Six string twang & rock" as well. If I plug in an Epiphone Casino, Tele, ES-335, etc, still get a "Justice" sound.
A good, all-around reasonable, not too large amp.
Don't ask me what I'm playing through right now, as I'm far too embarrassed to tell you.
Thanks in advance,

When Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin renounced his U.S. citizenship last year, with the apparent goal of saving hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes after the company's IPO, the Brazilian native had no shortage of outraged critics.
"He has made himself the poster child for the callous class of 1 percenters who are all too happy to use national resources to enrich themselves, and then skate, or cry foul, when asked to pay their fair share," Ilyse Hogue wrote in the Nation, to cite one example. "The story evokes the image of the marauding aliens from the movie Independence Day, who come to Earth to take what they can get before moving on to another planet."
But for all the furious accusations, Saverin seems to have been on the cutting edge of a growing trend. "U.S. citizens ditch passports in record numbers" was the headline on a May 8, 2013 Fortune/CNN piece reporting that more than 670 U.S. passport holders gave up their citizenship (and U.S. tax bills) in the first three months of this year—more than any quarter since the IRS began publishing figures in 1998 and nearly three-quarters of the total number for all of 2012. The newly ex-patriated include Isabel Getty, daughter of jet-setting socialite Pia Getty and Getty oil heir Christopher Getty, and—last year—wealthy songwriter-socialite Denise Rich.
This got me to thinking. While I totally get the anger at Saverin and his ilk, I'm also intrigued by a larger question, implicit yet unaddressed. How much money is sufficient for any single person? Does someone like Saverin ever say "Now I have enough!" Or do you keep on pushing until you have all the money in the world?
As I turn over these questions, I also find myself thinking about another man—one who could not be more different from Eduardo Saverin. His name is Daniel Suelo, and in 2000, at the age of 39, he left his life savings ($30) in a phone booth and walked away. For more than a decade since, he has not earned, received, or spent a single dollar.
"Unlike the average American—wallowing in credit-card debt, clinging to a mortgage, terrified of the next downsizing at the office—he isn't worried about the economic crisis. That's because he figured out that the best way to stay solvent is to never be solvent in the first place," is how a piece in Details magazine summed up Suelo's financial non-plan.
Born into an evangelical Christian family whose beliefs he's long since discarded, Suelo's personal philosophy eludes easy definitions. He lives in the caves and wilderness of Utah. He forages, dumpster dives, and eats with friends (as well as strangers). He doesn't panhandle, collect food stamps, or accept other government support—not that he sees anything wrong with those who do, he's quick to say—and he often works, just not for pay. He does make use of public libraries—borrowing books, checking email, and keeping his website and blog. "He wants to have the smallest ecological footprint and the largest possible impact at improving the world. His life goal since I met him is to take as little and give as much as possible," his best friend told writer Mark Sundeen, whose compelling book about Suelo is called The Man Who Quit Money (Riverhead, 2012).
As I think about Saverin and Suelo, a study in opposites, I marvel over the vast elasticity of our concept of need. Saverin thinks he needs billions of dollars. Suelo needs to have none. Needs are not objective facts. They reflect values and choices.
I hope it goes without saying that I'm not suggesting we stop doing all we can to make the world a more just and more equitable place. What I am suggesting is that, in the meantime, we give ourselves a chance to thrive, that we have the courage of our convictions (which starts with knowing what they are).
For me, this perspective is liberating. Early retirement, single-family homes, college educations – these accoutrements of the American Dream are increasingly hard to come by. Do we simply redouble our efforts to achieve such established socially sanctioned goals? Or do we explore new paths, expand our repertoire of options? (Another terrific example of someone doing just that is Ken Ilgunas, a Duke graduate student who lived in a van to avoid going back into debt and turned his experience into the wonderful memoir Walden on Wheels (New Harvest, 2013)
Few of us are likely to follow Suelo's example—I, for one, am not inclined to fill my dental cavities with pine pitch. What I take from his story isn't the specifics of his journey. Rather it's his capacity to find fulfillment while lacking things that most of us reflexively assume to be essential. If Suelo doesn't need any money, I sometimes muse, perhaps I don't really need [fill in the blank].
There are those who attack Suelo for failing to contribute to some larger social good. (One exasperated fan finally got his detractors to shut up when she told them that she pays taxes, doesn't use the library, and is donating her share to Suelo.) But to my mind, his provocative life is contribution enough. His choices push us to think harder about the nature of our own. His life expands our sense of possibility. And that, to me, is priceless.

Eltham Baptist Church
Eltham is located in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, in Australia.
Eltham is well known for three key features:
(i) Located in the heart of Melbourne's famous 'green wedge', with dwellings ranging from urban settings to remote and tranquil bush properties.
(ii) the area is generally a close-knit community in a 'village' atmosphere, with a relatively close knit community
(iii) The well known historical and artistic reputation of the area is another reason people give for wanting to live here today.
Now over 20 years old, Eltham Baptist is inextricably linked to its community. The Sunday morning services are located in the local Eltham High School Hall, and the evening services, which are more relaxed style, occur at the same location as the Church Offices, called 'The Bolt'. The more informal meetings occur during the week in people's homes and a further ministry focus is the playgroups
As a Church we are relaxed, informal, contemporary, personal and inviting.

6 Pack Abs – Real Facts For Achieving 6 Pack AbsBDeveloping 6 pack abs can be one of the most frustrating tasks known to mankind. However, this is only the case if one does not have the right information at hand. There are so many old wives tales out there regarding the development of 6 pack abs that it's no wonder people eventually give up hope and accept their bulging belly to become part of them for life.
No matter who you are or how slow you think your metabolism is, you are capable are developing toned and attractive 6 pack abs. Every single one of us has an underlying 6 pack of abs to be uncovered. The key is simply to reveal your abdominal muscles by following a handful of basic principles which help shed those extra layers of unwanted fat. It's also important that you know why you're using the methods you're using, this will help keep you motivated and giv
- Diet
Your choice of foods is absolutely crucial. Keep in mind that 80% of the work involved is in losing that belly fat. It's therefore extremely important that you're eating correctly. You can perform as many ab exercises as you like, but until you start shedding those layers of fat you're not going to see results at all. See the end of this article for a resource link on the foods you should be focusing on.
- Eating Patterns
In addition to what to eat, another important factor is when to eat. I highly advise against skipping meals and eating one or two meals in an entire day. Doing this puts your body into starvation mode. This means that the next time you eat, your body will store a lot of that food as fat as it doesn't know when it's going to be fed again! Instead, you want to be eating 6 small meals through out the day. This maintains your blood sugar levels, increases your metabolism, and keeps your body burning fat all day long.
- Cardio
It's highly recommended that you throw in some form of cardio work out. This could be running, cycling, swimming, skipping, or even fast-paced walking. This will help in speeding up the fat burning process and will result in faster results.
- Ab Building Exercises
This is probably the least important factor when it comes to achieving 6 pack abs, believe it or not. As mentioned before, everyone already has a 6 pack of abs underneath that layer of fat. However, performing ab exercises will help in shaping and increasing the definition of your abs. It will also aid in burning calories which will result in fat loss too.
It's crucial that you apply the correct combination of the above points. There are so many exercises and diets out there that simply result in fat gain and back ache, so please be cautious about what you read.

WIPO - the UN body the World Intellectual Property Organization - is holding a meeting of its Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR 23) in Geneva, Switzerland. This may be one of the geekier sentences ever to appear in the Freelance - but stick around.
The meeting is the focus of efforts to drive wedges into the rights of freelance journalists, and other creators, to control and to get paid for uses of our works.
25 November 2011, 2pm
I PREDICT that WIPO is about to call for a diplomatic conference that could issue an instruction to all its 184 member states to pass laws in favour of "the print-disabled". These laws would allow the distribution of accessible versions of (written) creative works without the permission of the author (or of another "rightsholder", such as the publisher who imposed a rights-grab contract on you). They would also allow such accessible version to be distributed across national borders.
As veteran authors' rights campaigner Maureen Duffy put it at the back of the room, "no sane author would oppose this" - but the devil is in the detail. The World Blind Union is supported by a bevy of anti-copyright campaigners. Those whose funding we've examined seem to be the Friends of Google. Google, as usual, isn't present to argue in person that it should have the right to copy what it wants when it wants and make money selling advertising around it.
From a UK perspective, the draft under discussion in general says little that's not already in UK law. There is one difference - though only the journalists' unions (represented by, er, me) and the government of the United States of America seem to think it's important.
That is: the current draft would allow copies to be made and distributed without permission for the benefit of someone who
"is blind [or] has a visual impairment or a perceptual or reading disability or any other print disability..." or cannot hold a book.
"Any other print disability" would seem to include anyone who's "too cool to learn to read". If, however, the US sticks to its insistence that this phrase "defeats the careful construction" needed in international law, then the wording will be tightened and this problem will go away. In UK law it is tight [1].
Strangest bit of the day: Egypt proposes that the "exception" for the benefit of blind people (or more) include translation rights. The United States opposes this, saying: "we would be very concerned about the moral rights implications". In the US the "moral rights" to be identified and to defend the inegrity of a work exist only for works of visual art in signed and numbered editions of 250 or fewer made on a Tuesday. (There is one lie in that sentence.) Many US commentators are vehemently opposed to them. Nice to see the current Administration calling them in aid.
25 November 2011, 5pm
Perhaps I predicted too soon. The WIPO inner core - the representatives of the regional groups of countries - went into a meeting four hours ago, and hasn't reappeared.
The process has turned very strange - effectively, bilateral negotiations between the World Blind Union and International Publishers' Association, with the member states meeting in parallel. The WBU and IPA were supposed to sit in on the inner core discussions. But their representatives are back in the conference room, waiting alongside dozens of quite expensive diplomats...
25 November 2011, 6pm
But no, the inner core has reappeared: delegations have until midnight to submit their thoughts on the current draft, which will become a Working Document on Monday; then someone will propose a date for a Diplomatic Conference that will negotiate it into a Treaty, a Protocol to an existing Treaty or a Recommendation.
If, that is, the argument over what kind of law it should be doesn't talk the whole thing out, again. The WBU and the South American countries who put forward the gist of this proposal are adamant that anything less than a full-fat Treaty will show fatal disrespect to the blind people of the world.
26 November 2011
The whole weekend was due to be taken up with "informal consultations" on a Treaty to give broadcasters a right over their "signal" in a similar way to recording studios' right over the recordings, separately from the rights in what is transmitted (or recorded). That right is neither a copyright nor an authors' or performers' right: but it can have the effect that anyone who wants to use a musical work has to clear this "mechanical right" first;.
Originally, the US (under George W. Bush) proposed that the new right extend to "webcasting". In the orthodoxy of "media convergence", that would cover practically all future works - except novelty collectors' editions still published on paper. Delegates to WIPO were alert to this risk and the General Assembly restricted debate to a measure protecting broadcasters' "signals". Now, it has become clear that for-profit piracy of broadcasts isn't limited to transmitter towers - web-streaming figures too. So South Africa has put up a proposal trying to make a new right cover as much as possible. The US is now arguing that it should be limited, which means it will be, under this Administration.
So, practically, what happens if there is a new right and a broadcaster has sole access to, for example, some video footage from Tahrir Square in Cairo?
Firstly, there is going to be an "exception" to any new right allowing (in one current draft) "short excerpts used in connection with the reporting of current events".
Secondly, I'm coming to the conclusion that the main effect of a new broadcasters' right would be to force would-be users to contact the creators - the producer and director, in the case of a film under UK law - directly, avoiding the broadcaster. This could be no bad thing. On the other hand it would encourage broadcasters to demand exclusive licenses (or even assignment of all rights) from creators, so the broadcaster had end-to-end control. This could be a bad thing - but it already is.
27 November 2011
Day off!
28 November 2011
Mid-session fatigue. Highlights of the day include a half-hour argument over whether to re-number the Articles of the proposed Treaty for the benefit of blind people (and maybe also the hard-of-thinking) - and a more important but even more confusing difference of opinion over whether countries' comments on an early proposal on exceptions for the benefit of libraries and archives go inline in square brackets or, as the EU proposes, in a column of a tabular document.
A highlight of the latter document is the US alerting delegates to the "danger that one library could end up making copies for all libraries, essentially taking away an author's market to the entire country once one copy is sold to one library".
29 November 2011, 11:00am
Delegates from African countries want to adopt the above-mentioned compilation of views on libraries and archives as a "working document". The EU and US say: "too early: wait until after the 28 February deadline for further written comments... more study is required". Odds on adoption: 100:1 against.
29 November 2011, 11:45am
The Deputy Director-General's proposal that the document be adopted as a "provisional working document" with a view to it being adopted as a "working document" at the next session of the Committee is put: the United States says "perhaps we can come back to this issue as late as Friday". Duly postponed.
29 November 2011, 12:45am
I get to present the IFJ's agreed statement: a bit naughty, because the session is supposed to be specifically about the proposed treaty granting a "neighbouring right" to broadcasters.
29 November 2011, 13:04
The MPA (movie producers) seems to be thanking the anti-copyright groups for raising the issue of protecting the authors' rights embedded in television broadcasts. Bizarre. But true.
29 November 2011, 17:20
We're on to article-by-article examination of a Draft Treaty on protection of Broadcasting Organizations. Conclusion from the gentle chiding by the EU & US: it's waaay not ready for prime-time.
30 November 2011
The non-governmental organisations have been chucked out of the meeting room while the diplomats have a two-day meeting preparatory to next year's Diplomatic Conference to pass a Treaty on the rights of performers in audiovisual works (films). When WIPO tried this in 2000 it was blocked because the US demanded a "presumption of transfer" of performers' rights to their producers, and the rest of the world said as one "no way" As I understand it, the proposal still on the table from last year is that member states of WIPO be allowed to do this - so the US doesn't have to change.
So I'm going home.

I have been quilting for about ten years, having been taught to knit by my grandmother, and to make clothes by my mother. Between 30 and 50 I was absorbed in childrearing and work, training and working in child mental health.
My rediscovery of my love of textiles coincided with a bit of a career meltdown and in the last few years, until retirement in March 2017, I combined quilting with working in the field of early years education.
I was fortunate enough to study for the C&G Certificate and Diploma at Missenden Abbey with Barbara Weeks and was a committee member and (for a year or so) Coordinator for Region 6.
I am a member of both CQ (not very actively!) and BQSG and have enjoyed being part of Dorothy Osler's Spennymoor Research Group.

Lisa Bonos is Outlook's assistant editor.
When a Harvard student named Gerry filled out a questionnaire for a new computer dating service in 1965, he was matched with six young women. He went out with two who lived nearby but didn't contact the others.
One of those others — Nancy, an English major at Mount Holyoke — sent him a postcard that read simply: "Dear Gerry, Do you exist?"
That note blossomed into weeks of correspondence and eventually a relationship. Nancy and Gerry married two years later, had a son and eventually divorced.
Their child, Dan Slater, grew up to become a journalist who, in his new book, "Love in the Time of Algorithms," traces the history of computer-mediated matches, from the clunky system that brought his parents together to the sophisticated models of today's dating Web sites.
Slater's parents were ahead of their time; online dating didn't explode as an industry until the 1990s and only recently shed its social stigma. Now, with about a third of singles dating online, it's pretty clear that these daters do exist — even if they're 20 pounds heavier or six years less educated than their profiles suggest.
So, as Valentine's Day approaches, an updated version of Nancy's question might be: Are you the best I can get?
I hope daters aren't directly asking this of their matches. But two new books, Slater's "Algorithms" and Amy Webb's "Data, a Love Story," suggest that succeeding in online dating, whether you're the Web site making the matches or the person looking for them, is all about staying competitive.
It's a tough marketplace out there. If you're going to compete with these legions of singles, you ought to do some research to understand how your competitors are marketing themselves. And if you're not a great date, or if the spark of marriage is fading, the Web promises plenty more where you came from.
On the business side of things, if a particular site doesn't provide an enticing selection of singles and a type of matching that's unique — such as OkCupid's match percentages or eHarmony's arduous screening process — daters will quickly move on.
Slater explains how competition affects dating on a macro level — how, for example, online dating companies market themselves and their algorithms to attract different kinds of daters. He delves into the world of niche sites, illustrating that, whether you're an inmate, in the military or treating your sexually transmitted disease, there's probably a site specifically for you — such as Meet-An-Inmate, MilitaryCupid or PositiveSingles. Locals, take note: The biggest market for the site Ashley Madison (slogan: "Life is short. Have an affair.") is Washington.
But are these sites helping us settle down or keeping us uncommitted? The growth of sites promising to help you find The One, Slater reports, can make it harder for people to get into — and stay in — relationships. Think about it: Dating sites woo users by convincing them that their databases hold thousands of desirable people, and that courtship of the customer has a flip side, a tendency to make us wonder, "Hey, can I do better?"
Slater speaks with a young man in Portland, Ore., who met his girlfriend on Match.com and confesses that he's "95 percent certain that if I'd met Rachel offline, and if I'd never done online dating, I would've married her." He adds: "When I sensed the breakup coming, I was okay with it. . . . I was eager to see what else was out there."
Another dater, whose OkCupid travails in New York are interspersed throughout the book, ends up in a relationship with someone she really likes, yet she sometimes finds herself "itching" to get online and browse through potential boyfriends. "The thought/fear/curiosity of someone better around the corner is always there, Internet or not, especially when you live in a big city," she says.
However, Erika Ettin, an online dating consultant based in Washington, doesn't think the Web threatens our relationships. "If someone is inclined to settle down," she told me, "they won't be logging on to see what's out there."
Although he's one of computerized dating's first poster children, Slater stays almost gratingly neutral on it. Is there a conflict of interest between sites that want us to keep paying dues and customers who want to pair up and log off? Will our willingness to share every last detail of our lives on Facebook and Twitter lead to online dating profiles that are less anonymous, with real names rather than screen names attached? Slater poses fascinating questions about how online dating is transforming our pursuit of love, sex and commitment, but he lets only his sources answer them. I often found myself thinking: Smart question, but what do you, son of Gerry and Nancy, think?
Webb, on the other hand, has very strong conclusions about online dating. Her success story is a little unorthodox — and since it's been all over Web and print media in the past month, you may be familiar with it.
After more than a dozen bad dates — which she catalogues in detailed spreadsheets tallying the men's high-fives, stupid sexual remarks, misused vocabulary words and other offenses — Webb sits down and lists the 72 attributes she's looking for in a mate.
Some are broad (smart, funny, successful); others are laughably specific ("must weigh at least twenty pounds more than me at all times," "likes jazz only from the 1920s to the late 1940s" and "appreciates the beauty of a well-crafted spreadsheet"). It makes you wonder if Webb's real soul mate might not be a man but Excel.
After figuring out just who she's seeking, Webb rejoins JDate, the Jewish dating site, as a man — creating 10 profiles for men she would want to date, with stock images and character sketches so elaborate you'd think she were outlining a novel. For example, we learn from the spreadsheet she makes for LawMan2346 that he and his younger brother, Mark, "didn't get along great as kids, but they're best friends now. Mark is the total opposite of him — plays sports, drinks beer. Typical man's man kind of guy."
But she's not Catfishing, she's doing opposition research. For a month, she corresponds with 96 female JDaters through these fake profiles, never meeting these women but interacting just enough to collect data (more spreadsheets!) on how they present themselves. Then, she can mimic her competitors and hopefully snag a better catch.
"My goal in this experiment wasn't just to observe other women on JDate. It was to understand them deeply enough so I could model their behavior," Webb writes. "I didn't want to try to hide who I was or to pretend to be someone else — I just needed to learn from the masters and present the best possible version of myself online."
Her retooled profile has more relaxed and revealing photos. She swaps out the resume-speak — earlier, she referred to herself as a "future thinker" who adapts "current and emerging technologies for use in communications" — for language that's fun, sassy and a little generic: "My friends would describe me as an outgoing and social world traveler, who's equally comfortable in blue jeans and little black dresses. I'd say they're right."
Then she starts to score the men with whom she interacts on the site, giving them points based on how many of those 72 attributes they possess. As a journalist turned management consultant, she writes that "data was what I knew. It wasn't emotional."
Spoiler alert: Adhering to her self-tailored algorithm, Webb meets her future husband.
The story of her journey certainly sells well in a big-data, Nate Silver world. But I'm not sure she needed to "hack the haystack," as she puts it, to find her soul mate. A little self-awareness, and some editing help from a trusted friend or two, might have helped her mold that "future thinker" into a more desirable dater without spending a month stalking the competition.
Additionally, her belief that women should barely mention their jobs in their profiles — it isn't LinkedIn, after all — will be tough for Washingtonians to swallow. Still, Webb's willingness to expose how she transformed from clueless to keyed-in shows just how manufactured and unnatural it can feel to look for a mate the way we shop for shoes or electronics.
Competition has always been part of the mating game, says Glenn Geher, a psychology professor and co-author of "Mating Intelligence Unleashed: The Role of the Mind in Sex, Dating, and Love." But in online dating, "the bar is much higher," he says, than when first impressions are forged in real life.
"Deception detection" is heightened, Geher says, when people meet online. Everyone is putting forth a polished, aspirational version of themselves, pushing daters to think: "I have to dig deep to find out what this person is really like."
In that context, Webb's instincts, while a little creepy, make perfect sense.

If you are using Printcolor inks, a fantastic, FREE, recipe database and ink mix calculator is now on-line at www.colorcomponents.com
Developed after many years experience using these inks daily, it is unique in that for recipes calling for a clear component and hardener it will utilize the hardener as part of the clear requirement - a technique that requires simple but frustrating maths and so is often ignored.
There is also an option to omit the clear altogether if you think that your substrate color will interfere with the colour accuracy due to reduced ink layer opacity because of the clear component in the recipe.
It saves operator time and error by doing all the mix calculations for you and then printing a permanent record for your operators - reducing mistakes and allowing a record of each mix to be kept with the job bag.

Two years ago I searched the internet to find something that would let me get back outdoor in the summer time , and , voila: I contacted Steele vest inc. in Seattle and asked if they addrssed the chem problem. She said no, but would I try the vest ? The vest has several formed pockets to insert a special made blue ice device..the thorax is encased in a cold environment artifcially . It works like magic. For 4 hrs I can be in heat to 108 comfortably , then , reach in the cooler, replace the inserts, and go another 4. The vest were originally made for aircraft handler steam launchers on carriers ..their vests are heavier and designed for much higher ambient temps. I told her the vest allows me to enjoy the outdoor again ; she now designs a vest for this category of folks. Several of my buds have purchased these, one owns an air-conditioning co. and his techs work in attics . If you have a low tolerance for heat for any reason you might wish to browse Steelevest.com. The vest is fairly expensive, if you wish to pattern your own after mine feel free, the inserts are only 40 bucks . The thought of cool comfortable caching in an Arkansas summer is awesome...ain't that so Shadrack ?
