In Memory of Former TMS President Kenneth J. Richards, 1932-2008
By Anonymous
Editor's Note: This tribute was adapted from a submission by J. Brent Hiskey, University of Arizona. In May, Kenneth Richards, retired vice president of Kerr-McGee Corporation and former president of its Technology and Engineering Division, passed away at the age of 75. A senior member of TMS, Richards joined the society in 1963 and served as president in 1981.Richards earned a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Utah in 1955 and then worked as a process engineer with Union Oil Company and Fractionation Research Incorporated and as a development engineer with the U.S. Intelligence Agency in the area of rare earth production and separation. He then went on to earn a Ph.D. in metallurgical engineering from the University of Utah. Upon graduation, he served as a captain in the U.S. Air Force at the Aerospace Research Laboratory, working in the Metals and Ceramic Division. In 1967, Richards joined Kennecott Copper Corporation in Salt Lake City, Utah, as a senior scientist. He was promoted to director of R&D in 1974 and vice president of process technology in 1979.
Richards was instrumental in the first commercial installation of a distributed digital control system for copper smelting. He was the principal inventor of the solid matte-oxygen converting process, which represented a notable advancement in copper smelting practice and provided the impetus for nextand future-generation copper smelting. He moved to Oklahoma City in 1984 to become president of the Technology and Engineering Division of Kerr-McGee Corporation and remained there until his retirement in 1994.
After retiring, Richards formed a successful consulting practice and served as assistant secretary of commerce for technology for the state of Oklahoma. In this position, he brought extensive experience in the areas of research and technology management, process and production development, and technology transfer. He was respected internationally for his contributions to extractive metallurgy and his pioneering efforts in advanced copper smelting processing, and his colleagues knew him as someone who could integrate technology and business with uncommon skill. He was a mentor to many young engineers.

text: No, Django has had issues with unicode in the past. However, the current SVN release finally gets it right (I hope). Django now fully supports the __unicode__() method. The following is from Django Tutorial 1 (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial01/). ==================================================== If __unicode__() doesnt seem to work If you add the __unicode__() method to your models and dont see any change in how theyre represented, youre most likely using an old version of Django. (This version of the tutorial is written for the latest development version of Django.) If youre using a Subversion checkout of of Djangos development version (see the installation docs for more information), you shouldnt have any problems. If you want to stick with an older version of Django, youll want to switch to the Django 0.96 tutorial, because this tutorial covers several features that only exist in the Django development version. ... Why __unicode__() and not __str__()? If youre familiar with Python, you might be in the habit of adding __str__() methods to your classes, not __unicode__() methods. We use __unicode__() here because Django models deal with Unicode by default. All data stored in your database is converted to Unicode when its returned. Django models have a default __str__() method that calls __unicode__() and converts the result to a UTF-8 bytestring. This means that unicode(p) will return a Unicode string, and str(p) will return a normal string, with characters encoded as UTF-8. If all of this is jibberish to you, just remember to add __unicode__() methods to your models. With any luck, things should Just Work for you. ==================================================== It's a shame that it didn't Just Work before, but remember that Django came out of Lawrence, Kansas, where people typically aren't concerned with representing foreign characters. - Feihong Carl Karsten <carl at personnelware.com> wrote: Feihong Hsu wrote: > I'm not really familiar with Unicode issues involving email. Were you able to resolve the problem in the end? I was told "make sure the subject are ascii to reduce being labeled as spam." this took care of it: subject = safe_ascii_encode(subject) > > But I personally haven't had any database or GUI framework issues with Unicode in a long time. Well, MySQL comes to mind, but they supposedly fixed those problems. I think there was something in the djagno unit tests that bit me. like I hadn't created the db right. I often wonder "why doesn't this stuff just work?" and conclude that I must not understand it.

I never cared much for American history in school. My mind does not cling easily to dates, names, or dots on maps. I struggled with concepts like "Federalism" and "Whig" and "Manifest Destiny." (click title to read more)
I feel much better now. Back in the 20th century I wrote an essay entitled "The Ugliest Monument in New England." You can Google it. I was horrified by the state of the memorial to Captain John Smith that faces the open sea on the Isles of Shoals. Capt. Smith mapped our region in 1614 and named it "New England." Smith's sad memorial, dedicated 250 years later in 1864, had since toppled, cracked, rusted, and was smeared with a thick coating of gull guano. (Click title for full article)
If you think Portsmouth looks different today, you should have seen it in 1773. In fact, you can. A rare glimpse of colonial Portsmouth, back when we were still a busy British seaport, now hangs on the wall of the conference room at the Mark Wentworth Home on Pleasant Street. It might reasonably be called the first official portrait of the city. (Click title for full article)
The late Rev. John Tucke had been moldering just below the surface in the damp thin soil of Star Island for 27 years when Rev. Dudley Tyng stumbled over his grave. A minister from Newburyport, Massachusetts, Tyng had come to the Isles of Shoals in 1800 to observe first-hand the wretched condition of the fishermen and their families living there.

"I think it's unique, absolutely unique," says Rob Napier of Newburyport. He is talking about the wooden ship model of HMS America on display in the Reading Room of the Portsmouth Athenaeum. (Click headline for full article)
Seacoast History by author / editor J. Dennis Robinson, presented biweekly in collaboration with The Portsmouth Herald. (check the Monday Herald every other week for printed version). In "History Matters" Robinson explores regional history and its connection to modern issues in a dramatic and highly readable style. The author has been writing about the "America\'s Smallest Seacaost" (sm) for over two decades.For up to 100 original aritlces by JDR also click here to visit AS I PLEASE. For the latest news see the Portsmouth Herald online web site just click here.
The editor ponders history, mostly, in this popular Seacoast column. This index contains over 100 original columns by J. Dennis Robinson. The author has been writing about the "America's Smallest Seacaost" (sm) for over two decades.
You will find a small historical society building in almost every town in the Seacoast region. Each is unique, run by its own cluster of local history fans and filled with curios. Most are in great need of funds and volunteer help. If you have more updated links, please send them along, and please -- help preserver your town history before it is too late.
THE DINGUS PROJECT Jesse James in the Movies At least 50 American films and documentaries include the character of outlaw Jesse James. The Dingus Project is one man\'s attempt to view ALL of those films. Writer J. Dennis Robinson began this project after writing a biography of Jesse James for children -- Jesse James, Legendary Outlaw, published in hardcover and paperback by Compass Point Books.The goal, besides watching a lot of movies, is to provide a quick databse that shows how few of these films are based on fact, and how widespread the "imaginary" view of Jesse James has grown. Thanks to Hollywood, the historic Jesse James has all but disappeared. So far we\'ve obtained copies of over 30 films and documentaries related to Mr/ James and we\'re posting them like crazy in anticipation of the Brad Pitt film to be released in 2007. Sure, it\'s crazy, but so was Jesse.

Cambridge College announces the Inauguration of the Elizabeth J. McCormack Chair in the Humanities
Jul 03, 2014, 07:00 ET from Cambridge College
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On May 13, 2014, Cambridge College inaugurated Dr. Gitte Wernaa to the Elizabeth McCormack Chair in the Humanities. The inauguration was held at the College's main Cambridge campus located at 1000 Massachusetts Avenue. The Harvard University Emily Hargroves Fisher Professor of Education Dr. Sarah Lawrence-Lightfoot delivered the Keynote Address for the evening.
A number of the College's donors, alumni, faculty, and staff attended the inauguration, including Dr. Elizabeth J. McCormack, for whom the Chair is named. During her inaugural address, "Our Stories, Ourselves," Dr. Wernaa described to the audience the importance of the inclusion of the Humanities in higher education and everyday learning.
Recapping the event, Dr. Wernaa explained, "The Elizabeth McCormack Chair inauguration was a wonderful celebration of the vibrancy of our College's life, a vibrancy created by the synergy of all parts of the College engaging the evening's topic of story-telling, as expressed in the inaugural lectures title, Our Stories, Our Selves. Hearing students, alumni, Dr. Elizabeth McCormack, and guest-speaker Dr. Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot speak about the ways we use stories to create ourselves was truly inspiring. I was honored to deliver my lecture during the event, and look forward to serving as the Elizabeth McCormack Chair."
The Elizabeth McCormack Chair in the Humanities was endowed in 2002 by the Trustees of Cambridge College and friends of McCormack, who has been involved with the College since 1986. McCormack spent much of her life dedicated to education and philanthropy. Throughout her career, she served as the long-time philanthropic advisor to the Rockefeller family and was the former President of Manhattanville College.
Dr. Wernaa has been a Core Faculty member at Cambridge College since 2006, and is the second professor to hold the Chair.

Need for jobs seen as theme for Pope's weekend visit to Molise region
July 04, 2014
"In Campobasso there is talk of nothing but this visit," Archbishop Giancarlo Maria Bregantini of Campobasso-Bojano, Italy, told Vatican Radio, referring to visit by Pope Francis this coming weekend.
The Pope is scheduled to make seven stops during a trip to the Molise region. Archbishop Bregantini said that just as the Pontiff had emphasized his opposition to organized crime during his recent trip to Calabria, he would probably emphasize the need for jobs during his trip to Molise. Unemployment is high in the region, the archbishop said, and 'the lack of jobs enslaves us and makes our future uncertain."

Agree with what was said so far. Now what! What is the plan to create the jobs? It is easy to say make jobs and that resolves all. reason they are slaves to the mafia is there is no liberty for the individual. The public is dependent on the mob. Very simmilar to what is happening here. Here the mob is the government controlling your freedom and creating the dependence. Soon they will control you completely just like the mob. The intent of each is power.

On this version, Noel Redding plays electric guitar tuned to resemble a bass guitar.

This wireless-N router comes with the latest version of Cisco Connect software that allows you to manage your Wi-Fi easily. It also has Guest access and Parental controls feature in the web-based setup page.

You can run Cisco connect software on a wireless computer also however I will advise you to connect the computer with the Ethernet cable.
What is Linksys E2500 router default password?
This is the most common question asked about routers. Linksys E2500 router default password is admin , leave the user name blank. However if you have installed the Cisco software then default password will be the wireless network key. Open the Cisco connect software and go to Router settings. You will find Router name and password.
If you have not installed the Cisco connect software then you can reset the router to factory default settings. Use admin as a password to access the setup page manually.
NOTE: For a more stable Internet connection using the 5 GHz wireless connection, upgrade your router's firmware to its latest version. Open the Linksys router setup page. Go to status tab and check the firmware version on your E2500. If it is not the latest one then download the latest firmware from Linksys website and upgrade it.
I will advise you to use Fix Home Network's Easy setup Guide for the initial Linksys router setup as well as troubleshooting all the router and wireless connection issues.

August is the cruelest month
Published 5:02 pm, Tuesday, August 20, 2013
It's almost over, this summer thing. Only a few more weeks, and then everybody will be back in whatever harness fate has chosen for them. The worries they used to have - sunburn, sand in the socks - will be replaced by other worries, like paying the bills and global warming.
I never could get sand off my feet. I spent the summers of my childhood at beach camp, so it wasn't as though I were a novice. Put on my shoes and socks; sand everywhere, gritty between my toes, making walking unpleasant. Go barefoot, risk the hot pavement on the tender feet.
Not as tender as they had been, my having calloused them up a bit on the beach.

I've spent a lot of time in beach towns, resort towns. I've been barefoot on their boardwalks, laughing ha ha at splinters. I have eaten saltwater taffy from its authorized agents, and seen the taffy stretch and collapse on its two rollers. I have flirted with age-appropriate girls and seen girls out of my league walk proudly past.
I have run home along their sidewalks, going from shady bit to shady bit and really sprinting over the hot parts. I can remember the smell of Coppertone, always Coppertone. I have lain in the sun at the beach and felt the sun toast the sand in my ears.
I have run into the water laughing.
I went to a church camp on Balboa Island in Southern California. Big house, right on the water - must be sold by now, that real estate was far too valuable to let a church own it. It was right down the street from the Jolly Roger, which was a hamburger and hangout joint, townies, tourists and everyone jostling for a place in line.
Big Fosters Freeze-style soft ice cream cones. I dripped ice cream down my thin chest. I felt embarrassment, but nobody noticed. I went and got some napkins; the rest of the afternoon, I had this dairy sheen between my nipples.
Did you have a vacation that involved sand and ice cream? Or perhaps something by a mountain lake. I don't have as much experience with mountain resort towns; I prefer to be where there's a tinge of salt in the air. Or are you saving your vacation for fall and a trip to Europe? That's serious vacationing, there.
Nothing at all like finding a place to stay on the California coast. Nothing at all like reading in a deck chair as the sun descends toward the horizon. Perhaps it is the kind of beach town where fresh fish is available. Maybe you walk into town, buy some dinner, walk back, cook it on the laughably inadequate stove, get some butter and lemon, nice green vegetable lightly cooked, sit and watch the ships out on the water, all on errands.
Many guesthouses come complete with ambient wildlife, raccoons or ravens or, on Kauai, chickens. No one seems to know how there came to be feral chickens on the island, but there they are. Some blame a passing sailor. The chickens live largely in harmony with man, except at sunrise, when sometimes you want to throw a shoe at them.
I don't understand shopping on vacation. I know it happens; the commercial evolution of Mendocino proves that there's money to be made selling stuff to visitors. The click and whir of commerce is exactly what I come to beach towns to avoid. I do not seek macrame candle holders.
Mendocino is nice in that it has inland hiking trails of great beauty. On the other hand, there's no real swimming in the ocean up there. Too darned cold except for scuba divers.
There is really nothing like swimming in a warm ocean. We were once at a place called Heron Island, a resort right on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia (and athwart the Tropic of Capricorn), and the water temperature there was completely right. We could stay in for hours, and we did, getting all wrinkly in the process.
Of course, it's not summer in Australia now; you have to wait. But if you miss the whole sand-in-your-socks thing, Australia would be perfect. They don't mind Americans, I don't think, although it's always wise to check.
Or, of course, Hawaii. That's the antidote to grieving about summer; go live somewhere where it never stops. Then, of course, you'll be back to the problems of paying the bills and global warming, and pretty soon a carefree visit back to the States will be just the vacation you need.
Beach towns, boardwalks, sand - the whole spectacle of summer is about to cease.

The aboriginal americans of this country where given two options abandon your culture and be "assimilated" or be killed. You people dont consider the mass organized slaughter of the buffalo (the main food source of the plains indians) an act of systematic destruction with the goal of racial extermination? You people dont consider the abduction and forced attendance of Indian children to schools that taught them their "place" in society and obliterated all trace of cultural identity a systematic act of cultural extermination?
What really gets my goat is when people say that because Indians are the "losers" of history they shouldnt complain. Fine just as long as you modern "losers" of the cultural war stop complaining about the dillution of the "true culture" of America. Stop complaining about "christian persecution" "abortion on demand" "our vulnerable border" and "the assault on marriage". Why? Because despite all you say about the "moral majority" if there wasn't an overwhelming demand for these things they would not exist, your losing the cultural war and what you did in the past is irelevant.
All these people want is the due recognition of the crimes committed against them and what they are owed legally by treaty. Is that too much to ask? Aparently it is to some people....

And if they can't...why discuss it ?
It sounds like more racial bashing to me...

In an apparent reference to the US threat to boycott the conference should slavery and reparations be discussed, Zuma stressed that no topics should be banned from the conference agenda.

African leaders are demanding an apology and some form of compensation ever more loudly as the US and some European countries step up pressure on Germany to reimburse Nazi victims for their suffering.
Britain, France, Germany - and the US again - will have nothing of it.
The European countries are wary of acquiring any financial obligations to remedy past wrongs.

BBC correspondent Alex van Wel says delegates in Geneva will have some reason to feel sceptical over their chances of finding consensus on these issues.

lets just say for sake of argument..the government will give back all land back to indians and give blacks 40 acres of land plus mule.
first of all whos entiteled to it is first question?
Is 100% indian gonna be first or does a .05% part indian get it first.
same with the blacks
now do the arithmatic...... I can surely see that theres just not enough land in the world for this to happen.What happens when the 100 % of indian gets less valued land as opposed to the .05 does,cuz there is diffently a difference, for instance, a person can have land that is flat or one can have their land on sheer cliffs which is basically worthless.
plus lets just say im black and the government says that they need to pay back indians for all atrocities made to them. now ive work hard and bought this land to build a house on but the gov. needs to pay back ind.s so we are gonna buy your land at a rock bottom price that the market bears. you will not have any choice in the matter. oh this has and does happen to anyone regardless what they are. are you gonna just say, oh ok , or are u gonna bitch and complain that you are being robbed. YOU take government to court to fight them and Maybe you posted on this site that you were in favor for the indians before all you found out the gov. was gonna take your land. Now how willing are you gonna be to say that its the right thing to do,give all land back to indians?
most people i see are willing to get on band wagon as long as it doesnt effect them.
for the record im dutch german englsh..who do i fault first for slaughter of my heritage?
ive applied for an $85,000 business loan from sba now they made me put up $185,000 collateral and they basically said if you were vietnamese, mexican,chinese or other immigrent status we would give you the money.as long as you were not white,middle class.
come on people our government has persecuted evey type of person...irish,chinese,black,red,.....list goes on.
im tired of people whining and bitching about how they are owed something just for being born.
and one more point what happens if my ancestors helped the black people ,foght and died in civil war for them ,do i recieve any money for their actions?

CHARLOTTE — Parkway Properties said Thursday that it has completed its purchase of the office building at 525 N. Tryon St.
The Orlando, Fla.-based company has bought the 406,000-square-foot tower for $47.4 million, in a deal it said was completed Dec. 6. A joint venture of Gramercy Capital Corp. and an affiliate of Garrison Investment Group sold the building.
According to Parkway, the 19-story, Class A building was built in 1998 and has an attached parking garage. Parkway said the building is 69.8 percent leased, with an average in place gross rent per square foot of $19.61.
The company said the building is expected to generate estimated cash net operating income of 4.7 percent next year.
Parkway bought another uptown Charlotte high-rise building this year, Hearst Tower. It is in talks to buy NASCAR Plaza, also in uptown.

ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews rose to greater (and well-deserved) fame with a an impressive run on "Dancing with the Stars" — a remarkable return to the public eye after a stalker released nude video of her taken from peephole videos in different hotels. As part of her new contract with the Disney corporation, Andrews will begin additional reports for "Good Morning America" starting tomorrow:
In her first report as a contributor to "Good Morning America," Erin Andrews sits down with three women who were the victims of stalking and are speaking out in order to raise awareness about the issue. Andrews, who very publicly experienced a similar situation herself last year, chronicles the women's fight and the push for tougher anti-stalking laws. Her first report will air on "Good Morning America" on Thursday. [via]
I don't know, this doesn't seem like a good idea to me. The last woman from ESPN to work for "Good Morning America" was Robin Roberts, and she got breast cancer. Twelve years later. Sure, MAYBE it's just a coincidence, but do you have proof that it isn't? I didn't think so. So there you have it: "GMA" causes breast cancer. Get out while you still can, Erin!

My sister watched her husband die this month. Such moments get you thinking about death and of course it's precursor – LIFE.
Excuse the dark opening to this post but death is one of the most effective ways to make you stop and consider where your life is leading and what you want from it. Life is not a rehearsal!
The dark days of January are nearly over and you may be considering those New Year resolutions of yours – that may or may not depending on your willpower have already hit the buffers! I get many messages and requests for help. A common theme is "it's so hard finding a media job; should I give up on my dream of working in television?"
Well I can't answer that for you. Only you can decide what is really important to you and work out when you need to compromise and when to hold on to that dream. Generally I encourage people to follow their dream. As I say you only live once.
So let's consider that thorny issue. Is there a time when you should sensibly give up on something you hold dear? If you are starving through lack of money to buy food then you need to take any old job you can to keep you alive. If you have a family relying on you for income you may need to make some compromises. The good news is that creativity is something no-one can take away from you. You can take it with you anywhere and indulge it whatever your day job is.
My advice is and always has been to nurture your ideas, your creativity and not let it go, whatever your work situation is. One person wrote to me asking for advice. He was writing a screenplay whilst serving up petrol in a garage. Others despair because they are bored working in a bank or a shop despite being desperate to work in TV. Those that write, create, communicate and nurture their creativity whilst in the boring job have a far better chance of changing their path than those who don't.
As I have urged so many times before, indulge your creativity and broadcast it. In the age of the Internet and a myriad digital media resources you don't need anyone's permission to make and broadcast films, websites, radio shows, blogs, anything!
There may well be times when you should consider putting a halt to a particular project that is going nowhere. The fabulous Seth Godin (one of my favourite 'guru's!) addresses just this in his book, The Dip, which I bought when considering whether I ought to be jacking in one of my many new projects. It's a short book but basically helps to identify those moments in any new project where it starts to feel like it's all "too hard".
The thrill and excitement of a new job, new idea or new project keeps you going for a while and then the reality sets in. It seems far too many of us give up when they hit 'the dip' – that moment when the hard work outweighs the thrill of doing it. But this 'dip', it seems, can be a sign that you are about to make a break through. If you push on and get through you stand a chance of real success.
How do you know when it's sensible to give up on a bad job and move on or stay strong and break through? Seems you have to be able to tell the difference between a cul-de-sac and a dip. If you are interested go read the book.
Another wonderful 'guru' the late great Steve Jobs, who inspired so many people with his creativity, and his approach to realising his dreams, delivered some very wise words in a speech to university students after being diagnosed with the cancer that eventually killed him. I've used this quote before on this blog and it is well worth repeating:
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart….
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary…
…. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish".
The dark days of January are nearly over, wet February beckons and beyond that the glimmer of light and hope that is the spring. So how's your life going? Are you happy with what you are doing and where you are going? Do you have a dream and intend to follow it or are you in danger of giving up on it? Is there a light at the end of your tunnel?
Don't be disheartened by the difficult times. As those that know always say – it's the mistakes you make, the difficulties you survive that make you stronger and way more interesting as a person (and as a potential employee). 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger".
Clichés may be over-used but for a good reason: 'when one door closes, another opens" – your path may not take exactly the direction you had in mind but it may get you to the right destination anyway.
I did that New Year 'reviewing what I really enjoy' thing and guess what? Top of my list of favourite projects was this blog. And it's you out there reading this that makes it my favourite project – the twitter followers, the blog subscribers, the lovely folk who I meet at media seminars and talks, your feedback, comments and emails. Love you all!
One of my New Year Resolutions was to not get so distracted by other projects and dedicate some quality time to this blog, writing quality articles in a regular fashion. Yup – I managed to get through January not doing any of that! But hey, I shall continue to dream…
Make the most of 2013; make the most of today; make the most of your life!
"If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right."
Hi Shu – It's great to see what so many people feel written down in words.
Thanks for making yourself write this blog – I pushes me to write mine.
Happy Thursday!
Finding this today couldn't have come at a better time for me. I'm not feeling great, and frankly am disparing on what my next move will be. This has made me realise that I shouldn't give up so easily, and that my current mood is just a wake up call that I should be stronger and more determined in getting where I want to be. In the meantime I'll find the positives in my "mundane job", after all at least money is still coming in! Thank you!
Thanks Shu, Just when I was thinking on hanging up my boots in regards to my ambitions of working on T.V and Radio. You come with yet the best piece of advice I could ever get!
Thank you!!!
I was sitting at my computer on that freezing, wet, February day you described and staring glumly into my computer when I came across this post.
Having just returned from a life-changing year living in Asia after quitting the corporate world (the technical, boring side of TV broadcast) I am now faced with the reality of London again. Property, pensions and money, money, money.
Despite having aspirations of being a writer / presenter / producer It looks like I might have to take a job back in the side of the industry I like the least.
However, you're blog made me feel hopeful about the future and my creative output. At least I have my blog – which I'm as passionate about as you are by the sounds of things.
Thank you for your wise words and the inspiration and hope to see you on the blog circuit soon!
Thanks Shu for the wise, motivation and encouraging words. I am realising that i am doing now is just a job. My Passion and Interest is lies with TV.
"And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition"
You know that saying "a happy person makes a productive and succesful environment"
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your brother in law. I hope that your sister and family are doing as well as possible.
Albeit slightly late, I'm so glad that I read this post. After what has become a really drag of a winter, I was becoming a bit stuck in my dip after deciding to take the leap and concentrate fully on my ambitions. It's not been going as I'd hoped but I always knew it was hard but I recently had a light bulb moment where I chose not to let it get to me. It's all part of the journey and all that jazz.
You genuinely do reach people, even if it's just me (although I can see that it isn't)! From having my own blog, I get so happy if someone leaves a positive comment or just by seeing that someone in a far flung place, who isn't reading out of the obligation of friendship, has taken the time to read my post. Awesome feeling and I most definitely share your love of a good cliché!
Happy Monday and have a great week!

Can't disguise fact I lack enthusiasm for Halloween
Published 9:34 pm, Saturday, October 27, 2012
One Halloween when I was a kid I roamed the neighborhood as a pirate captain, went home and adjusted the costume, and went back out for another lap as a pirate's first mate. An old man down the street busted me. Since there was no threat that candy would run out for other kids, I still say I was in-bounds.
Halloween lost a lot of its appeal in high school (it had to do with some scary street incidents and not the supernatural), although it's still fun to see the glint in my younger kid's eyes. It ranks high on my wife's list, but she is a "Walking Dead" fanatic. 'Nuf said.
In ranking my Top 10 holidays, Halloween comes in near the bottom. (Right Now readers put it fourth, tied with Memorial Day and behind Christmas, Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July.)
1. Christmas (feel free to sub Hanukkah/Kwanzaa). The glow of the tree, the glow of the leg lamp (honest) and the faces of the kids the moment before they turn the corner on the stairs is one of the highlights of the year.
2. Thanksgiving. Eat, drink, be merry, be grateful, watch football. It's worth the four hours it takes to do the kitchen.
3. Memorial Day. Honoring fallen heroes, and ringing in summer. Plus the parade goes past my front door.
4. Independence Day. Highlight of summer dating back to youth.
5. New Year's Eve/Day. Used to mean partying hard. Now, not so much. But there is a power to turning the page.
6. Easter. The religious significance, plus the fact baseball season and spring have arrived.
7. Labor Day. Yes, I am ready for some football. And the kids to go back to school.
8. Halloween. See above.
9. St. Patrick's Day. Don't let the name fool you: I always viewed this as an amateur hour populated by pseudos.
10. Black Friday. The saddest part is this belongs on the list. I make it an annual point to sleep in and avoid malls all day.

He walked out early in training camp, but cornerback Cortland Finnegan showed up right from the outset Sunday.
Finnegan knocked down the first two passes thrown by the Baltimore Ravens, added a third before the end of the contest and made five tackles in the Tennessee Titans' 26-13 victory at LP Field.
"He came out playing," coach Mike Munchak said Monday. "I mean he came out hitting and knocking balls loose.
"For a defense, especially, that's contagious in a big way. They all want to make a play when they see what he's doing."
The Titans held the Ravens to 229 yards of total offense and deflected seven passes overall. In a Week 1 loss at Jacksonville, that unit did not break up a single pass attempt.
Finnegan seemingly overcame his brief departure early in training camp – a move motivated by dissatisfaction with the progress of negotiations on a contract extension – when he was named defensive captain by his teammates.
Now in the final year of his current deal, the 2008 Pro Bowler is showing his value to the team in a real way.
"He played well last week and I think it was the same thing [Sunday]," Munchack said. "… Since we got through that first week of training camp he's been nothing but a perfect pro. He practices hard – the guy has a great work ethic, he's a great example to the guys on defense."
• Winning ways: Perhaps because the Titans won just once in their last 10 regular-season games they were unfamiliar with what it takes to celebrate.
It was mostly newcomers involved in the Gatorade bath Munchack received following Sunday's victory. Free agents Daniel Graham and Shaun Smith along with reserve offensive lineman Fernando Velasco performed the actual dump.
"The quarterback [Matt Hasselbeck] started it and I, being the big guy, tried to finish it," Smith said.
Hasselbeck, also a newcomer, refused to take credit for the idea but did say he organized the effort.
"It was somebody else's idea but it was a pretty good idea," he said. "… I got the guys that had more muscle than me to take care of that."
• Injury update: Munchak said wide receiver Damian Williams (hamstring) is the biggest question mark heading into the week.
"We'll have to see how his hamstring is [Tuesday] … to see how much he can do on Wednesday," Munchak said. "We're assuming everyone will have an opportunity to play this week."
That includes safety Chris Hope (shoulder) and defensive end William Hayes (shoulder), both of whom also sat out the Baltimore game.
• Quote of note: "We've by no means think we've arrived. . . . We're a hard-working group. We're grinders. We're going to be here ready to work on Monday and what the win helps you do is have more confidence in what you're doing." – Munchak, on the effect of the first victory.
• Notable numbers: 0 – second-half touchdowns allowed by Tennessee's defense. Opponents have just three field goals (two by Jacksonville, one by Baltimore) in the third and fourth quarters.
1 – fumble by the Titans (guard Jake Scott recovered it) thus far. They had nine in the first two games last season.
29 – points allowed by the Titans through two games. Only once in the previous 12 years have they allowed fewer at the same point. That was 2008 (17 points allowed), when they finished an NFL-best 13-3.
• 271 – receiving yards for Kenny Britt, which is more than the season totals for all but five Titans receivers in 2010.
• 607 – net passing yards by Tennessee, which had 609 through four games in 2010.
• Travel plans: The Titans' next opponent, the Denver Broncos, plan to come to town Friday, a day earlier than most.
"We're going to leave on Friday because of the time zone change, but we'll work on a normal schedule Wednesday and Thursday, as well as Friday," coach John Fox said. "We will conduct our Saturday walkthrough practice in Nashville."
Denver (1-1) is in the mountain time zone, which is a difference of just one hour.
"We are trying to be at peak performance on Sunday, so just to get the trip out of their systems and feel a little bit better on that second night's sleep," Fox said.

Olga Skorbatyuk Talking About Men Born On March 23rd Of Common Years On Russian Television
Description Of Men Born On March 23rd Of Common Years From The Catalog Of Human Population
Presented demo is a very short description of men born on March 23rd of common years from the Catalog of human population. An example of a complete description is available here. Pricing is available here.
"A man born on March 23rd of common years has a strongly pronounced peculiarity, trait: he is all somehow bloodless, currentless, half-dead. Others might think that he does not live in the usual sense of the word, but rather exists based on the principle "neither dead nor alive." When looking at him, one begins to remember stories about zombies, people who died, but then some African sorcerer resurrected them and they came back to life. Similar characters are found in many ancient legends.
For example, it is told that the ancient Jewish rabbis could use any material or natural element (clay, sand, water, fire) to create an analogue of a human, a golem that was very similar to an alive, a real person. This human analog was able to walk, talk, and give responses adequate to situations. However, despite purely external similarity and resemblance, and seemingly complete identicality this was not a human. As far as the considered individual, in spite of all observable signs of life, his behavior reminds of that of a golem. He moves his arms and legs mechanically, says something and eats something, does something and communicates with someone, but he does all of this in such a way that it is as if in front of us is a resurrected deadman, just a body. It is as if this person's blood was drained and all of his life energy was sucked out of him. Remarkably, he is like this since birth, and so it is useless to try to attribute this fact to some external conditions, influence of other people, and events in his life. It is as if at the time of this person's birth, the invisible creator forgot to breathe the soul into him. For this reason, he is characterized by coldness, ice-like calmness, and everything that people call soulless. This specifically creates an impression of a corpse at a morgue, which has familiar external parameters and is still fresh, but is no longer alive. He is not involved; he is calm, silent, indifferent to everything and everyone, including himself. He is no longer in a hurry to go somewhere or do something, no longer wants anything in this life. This person's behavior and life philosophy somewhat reminds of famous characters from the well-known American movie called The Addams Family. They are all so cheerful and joyful, but when they put a bouquet of flowers in a vase, they cutoff the flower buds, and admire beheaded sticks. A man born on March 23rd of common years sees himself and others as potential fertilizer, as that material, from which after death a burdock or some other plant will grow; it is as if while still alive he considers everyone, including his own self in terms of utilization mechanisms that exist in nature.
This person can be described as an apologist of death, who not only does not reject, but also defends and in fact praises this phenomenon. Like the great Plato, he is convinced that the body is the prison of the soul. He thinks that one can become immortal only by becoming free from the mortal flesh. He thinks that the soul should be free, and if this is so, then death of the body is a normal, even a positive phenomenon. This man is not afraid of death and it does not repel him; on the contrary, it raises his interest and even causes some enthusiasm. The theme of death (and everything connected with it) gets him hyped up, attracts, and draws his attention and thoughts like a magnet. This man is deeply concerned with the mystical process of transition from life to death, the process of transition from one state to a qualitatively different state, from one world to another; he is interested in questions that can be attributed to philosophy of death. In order to understand these questions, he reads a variety of materials on this subject—from obituaries and chronicles in low-grade tabloids, "yellow" press, to classical philosophical works. With a genuine interest, considered person also acquaints himself with various scientific research on this topic. In addition to scientific research, which highlights the theme of death from its own angle, this person might also be interested in mystical works, which open the curtain that conceals it from another angle. He might also be interested in how death is considered in various religious cults of antiquity and modernity. This person is interested in descriptions of battles with a great deal of bloodshed and battles from history, which were marked by a huge number of fatalities. In addition, in all of such type of historical descriptions of events related to wars and battles, this person is particularly attracted to descriptions of those historical figures (rulers, leaders, generals, etc.), who led a nation or part of a nation to a similar tragic and bloody outcome. He is extremely interested in stories about people who like kamikazes, samurais, and shahids go to their deaths. He might be interested in crime stories of bloody offenses, as well as main figures of these stories, the so-called "maniacs of the century" and "killers of the century." A man born on March 23rd of common years is interested in absolutely everything that leads to death of a person or historical events, material objects, natural phenomena, and so on related to it…"

Sage comic fan and E-N reporter Vince Davis joined me for the Thor screening this week and had these thoughts to share about the comic-book adaptation.
With a nod to decades of source material, Thor hits the screen with a balanced mix of drama, humor and super heroics as the summer movies season starts.
Watching the movie is like turning the page of a super-sized comic drawn by Silver Age masters Jack Kirby, John Buscema and Neal Adams. Director Kenneth Branagh moves the tale at a quick clip, between the golden spires of Asgard to the dusty plains of New Mexico, fueled by tons of action.
Chris Hemsworth bulked up like a battleship for the part and embodies the Norse God as if he'd played the character for years. He displays a range of emotions that make you believe that there's a God of Thunder among us that wields an uru hammer and summons lightning at will.
The supporting cast is great, especially Anthony Hopkins as Odin, the imposing All-Father. Natalie Portman is subdued as physicist Jane Foster who falls for Thor and you'll shake your head at the quips from her side kick, Darcy Lewis played by Kat Dennings. And when Sif and the Warriors Three, Fandral, Hogun and Volstagg are on-screen, the flick kicks into high gear and becomes a swashbuckling sword fest.
Recently, the film has been target practice for some film critics and there is credence to some of the things they mention, but the majority of reviews have been favorable and for the movie-going masses, that'll probably be their take, too.
The only drawback is the movie doesn't translate well in 3-D, casting a dark pall over many special effect scenes. But it's not enough to distract from a good ol' popcorn chomping movie.
Yep, verily. Now go see this movie already.

Skip to comments.Friends of accused Boston bomber are taken into custody in New Bedford, Mass.
Posted on 04/20/2013 7:24:41 PM PDT by Texas Fossil
Two pals of the accused Boston Marathon bombers were pulled from their New Bedford, Mass. home and taken into custody on Saturday.
The two men, known to neighbors by their first names Azmat and Diaz who share a black BMW SUV adorned with a novelty license plate that reads Terrorista #1 were cuffed and hauled out of their Carriage Dr. apartment shortly before 4 p.m.
(Excerpt) Read more at nydailynews.com ...
Reinforcing my thought that the Daily News is not a credible news source -- it's a 2006 BMW 330Xi sedan, not an SUV. If they're going to copy photos from a story published elsewhere, at least they could bother to read the story.
The names suggest a similar to the two brothers' ethnic background, even though Diaz is generally Spanish.
This list of Kazakh names lists "Dias" as a popular name in Kazakhstan:
Диас (испанское) переводе с испанского языка слово диас означает - "солнце". Это имя популярно с 1963 года. Дано в честь руководителя восстания испанского народа Хосе Диаса.
Translated form Russian: Dias (Spanish) translated from the Spanish Language the word "dias" means -- "Sun". This name is popular since 1963. It is given to honor the leader of an insurrection of the Spanish people Jose Dias.
The same source lists "Azamat" (Arabic) meaning respected, venerable.
I could not find either name in the list of Chechen names, however, both names point to a traditionally Muslim ethnicity (Kasakhs are Muslim), despite Spanish-sounding Diaz. Neither name has any currency among ethnic Russians.
ROTFL!!!! I keep getting a mental pic of Achmed the terrorist (stop it! I keeeeeeeeel you!!).
ROTFL!!!! I keep getting a mental pic of Achmed the terrorist (stop it! I keeeeeeeeel you!!).
In the local name reference book. See a little research I did in my previous post.
They can hide in plain sight because of political correctness and a gullible public.
now now now. You must'nt judge...you don't know his circumstances. We must be tolerant and open minded.
That is to be pronunciated Oz-MOTT dahmeet Oz-MOTT!! Stoopeed American! < /perpetually offended >
This would make great material for one of Jeff Dunhams shows.....
Boston.com also reported this but said they were arrested for immigration violations, whatever that means.
The bombers have a young relative named Jihad. They call him 'little Jihad'.
The English refused to be browbeaten into foreign pronunciation. "Claret" is "CLAR-ett" among many other examples. If a word or name sounds ridiculous to American ears, then it does. Just imho, of course.
It means they don't necessarily tell us what is really going on.
Of course we don't know either.
This story ran this morning, said they were arrested yesterday, then released. this is the story with the fake boston globe reporters who turned out to be russians
Lots of others
Diaz is used as a last name by Hispanics, not a first name.
Good, get them all. I hope to God this is not the start of a wave of attacks....never know with those who wish to attack us on our home soil.

If you want to beat the system you have to play hardball. Our culture is one of consumption and material acquisition. We consume faster than we earn. Things are not making us happy. Things are causing us to constantly be in debt. Debt is making us miserable. Yet we continue to spend and live a life of debt and misery. The solution is simple. Saving not spending. Here is the rub. Making that your habit. Just as spending is a habit, one that is hard to break so is saving. One that takes an effort to start.
So let me give you some incentive. Would you like to double your money? Well here it is…for every dollar you stop spending on things and save you have saved two. So if you cut your expenses by $100. Cable bill for instance and put that $100 in savings you are $200 ahead. The $100 you are no longer spending and the $100 you are now saving.
Now that is some great incentive to change a habit in my opinion. How much money can you effectively save and double in your daily, weekly or monthly finances starting today? Saving is powerful. Saving is a way to get ahead in this system. If you stop spending $4 a day 5 days a week on coffee for instance and save it instead you have not spent $20 and $20 saved you have $40 savings opportunity. That's $160 a month and $2080. a year! In twenty years you have saved over $40k. Now that is not even counting investing and earning interest or dividends.
If you invest that same money you could easily double that money again! This is how people get wealthy. If you apply this principle to a payment that bears interest your savings is even bigger and more profound. A credit card balance is calculated to be paid back over 15 years. You will more than double your money if you pay that off and stop carrying a balance.
So you see just how easily spending or saving can exponentially swing your financial future from a life of debt and misery to one of freedom and choice.
Spend wisely my friends.

Giving Thanks
There are lots of ways to express gratitude. But I sometimes I need an exercise, something visual, to help me really think about the things that matter to me most.
The answer this year was a Gratitude Tree.
It all started with a need to prune my Contorted Filbert Tree. It was blocking the pathway next to our home. Yay, I thought. That's one of the reasons I bought the tree almost 7 years ago, so one day it would need to be pruned, and I could bring the limbs in the house to decorate with.
I cut down the crooked limbs, removed the leaves from the branches. And placed them in my favorite copper flower bucket.
These lovely branches were just perfect to create a Gratitude Tree.
Since Ben and I were home alone, he and I stamped some paper with leaf stamps and cut them out. And began to write some of the things we are grateful for. He wrote his family and our dog, Finn. He is also grateful for his best friend Connor, his teacher Mrs. Pope, video games and Harry Potter books.
I, of course, am most grateful for my family. My friends, good health, my home and food in my pantry are also at the top of my list. But I found myself thinking about other things. The little things (relatively)… my sewing machine, warm showers, bread just out of the oven, Sunday mornings, and felted wool slippers to name a few. I realized I could simply cover those branches in gratitude.
Who knew pruning trees could be so good for the soul?
Snowman Hat update…. it took me long enough, but I have directions for making the snowman hat. I've posted it with the snowman kit tutorial if you're interested.
5 Responses to "Giving Thanks"
I love reading your blog and have learned so much! Thank you for inspiring me! I too am so grateful for this time of year and my chance to reflect back upon all my blessings! Being Ben's teacher is one of my many blessings! What a wonderful boy he is and how lucky I am to spend time teaching him daily. I love watching his face light up when he understands a new concept or idea! He truly is amazing!
Totally stealing this idea next year, fyi
Love this idea. I've done a gratitiude jar before, but I like this better because you get to see the reasons for gratitude just hanging there and it just looks a lot more festive than a jar. Thanks for the idea. I don't think it's too late to do this.
[...] the 50 things I'm most grateful for. I've done it before, last year our little family made a gratitude tree. I've found the process of writing down my blessings is always [...]
This is a wonderful idea! My husband and I try to right 10 things that we are grateful for before we go to bed. Remembering to be grateful makes a difference!

At the end of World War 1 with the status of the Tank Corps in the greatest doubt, three small tank detachments were despatched to Russia, to support the White Russians against the Bolsheviks. One British manned tank achieved the capture of Tsaritsin, later called Stalingrad, now known as Volgograd.After the war, the Tank Corps was trimmed down to a central depot and four battalions; the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Battalions, Tank Corps.
In 1923 it was officially named Royal (making it the Royal Tank Corps) by Colonel-in-Chief King George V. It was at this time that the motto Fear Naught, the black beret and the unit badge were adopted. The word Corps was replaced in 1939 with Regiment to give the unit its current name, the Royal Tank Regiment.
In 1920, twelve Armoured Car Companies were set up as part of the Tank Corps, absorbing units from the Machine Gun Corps; eight were later converted into independent Light Tank Companies. All disbanded before the outbreak of the Second World War.
In 1933 the 6th Battalion, Royal Tank Corps, was formed in Egypt by combining the personnel of two of these companies; in 1934, the 1st (Light) Battalion, Royal Tank Corps was formed in England with personnel from three of the existing battalions.
With the preparations for war in the late 1930s a further two regular battalions were formed; the 7th in 1937 and the 8th in 1938. The 40th, 41st, 42nd, 43rd, 44th & 45th battalions were raised in 1938, being converted from Territorial Army infantry battalions; the 46th, 47th, 48th, 49th, 50th and 51st were likewise activated and converted in 1939. The twelve Yeomanry Armoured Car Companies of the RTR were all activated and transferred to the Royal Armoured Corps.
Before the Second World War, Royal Tank Corps recruits were required to be at least 5 feet 4 inches tall. They initially enlisted for six years with the colours and a further six years with the reserve. They trained at the Royal Tank Corps Depot at Bovington Camp, Dorset for about eight months.

While Walgreen Co. and Express Scripts remain at odds, rival CVS Caremark Corp. (CVS) is taking their lunch money.
CVS president and chief executive Larry Merlo said today his company hit record sales, profits and raised its 2012 guidance thanks to the battle between pharmacy giant Walgreen (WAG) and Express Scripts (ESRX), a pharmacy benefit manager. Walgreen and Express Scripts parted ways Jan. 1 following a months-long battle over payment issues, leaving millions of Americans with Express Scripts drug plans looking for new pharmacies.
So far this year, the imbroglio in the market has been an unprecedented windfall to CVS. Merlo told analysts this morning that CVS benefitted by 3 cents in the first quarter ended March 31 and is projecting another 3 to 4-cent benefit in the second quarter as long as Walgreen and Express Scripts remain at odds. That led Merlo to raise earnings-per-share guidance to $3.23 to $3.33 for the year.
"We've had a terrific start to the year," Merlo said. "Our retail team has done an outstanding job capitalizing on the unprecedented opportunity for share gains afforded to us by the impasse between two of our industry peers. Results in both our retail and PBM segments came in at the high end of our guidance, while EPS exceeded expectations."
CVS, which operates both a pharmacy chain and a PBM, has been pushing the concept of "narrow networks" for years to employer and health plan clients. Now, however, they are poised to capitalize their "one-stop shop" approach to large employer clients as its rivals in its two primary businesses continue to feud.

Jeff Burnette has been experimenting with hot glass now for almost 30 years. And the featured above Glass Rayguns is the result of his efforts. Jeff, a serious sci-fi fan has developed the designer masterpieces that can be blown. With the transparent shade on the pipe and clear glass gathered on its apex, the piece once blown up takes a different appeal altogether. Once the pieces, blowpipe undergoes a 15-hour cycle of cooling, the next process to be followed is to send it for silvering. The Raygun is a no less than a bubble with a translucent color within. The silvering is the result of the silver nitrate, ammonia, and distilled water assorted and dispensed into the unbolted end of the cannon.
The silver brushwood within the piece looks like a mirror. And at last the machined stainless steel is chemically attached to the piece.

I've got carpal tunnel pain, but wrist splints and steroid injections aren't working. Is there anything else I can do short of surgery?
Solution: If you're not responding to conventional treatment, have someone look at your neck, suggested Maureen Ziegler, an occupational therapist with the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Statistics have shown it's not unusual to be diagnosed with carpal tunnel when the pain is actually originating from somewhere else.

Hi Mr/Mrs Huntersmith. Although I haven't bought any myself, I believe that a packet of Benson & Hedges last time I was on QM2 was about $3, which translates to about £1.60. Available from Golden Lion & Casino Bars - but I am sure they are likely to be available at all bars.
No but introduce yourself to my husband, Gary King. He's DJ on board.
