"It's easy to feel insecure around art and its appreciation, as though we cannot enjoy certain artworks if we don't have a lot of academic and historical knowledge. But if there's one message that I want you to take away it's that anybody can enjoy art and anybody can have a life in the arts - even me! For even I, an Essex transvestite potter, have been let in by the artworld mafia."
Now Grayson Perry is a fully paid-up member of the art establishment, he wants to show that any of us can appreciate art (after all, there is a reason he's called his book Playing to the Gallery and not Sucking Up to the Academic Elite).
In this live recording from the Reith Lectures (2013), he talks about his own funny, personal journey through the art world and answers the basic questions that might occur to us in an art gallery but seem too embarrassing to ask. Questions such as: What is good or bad art - and does it even matter? Is there any way to test if something is art, other than a large group of people standing around looking at it? Is art still capable of shocking us or have we seen it all before? Can you be a lovable character and a serious artist - what is a serious artist anyway? And what happens if you place a piece of art in a rubbish dump?

"Grayson the legend"
loved it!! inspirational and funny! Also I'd recommend this for all art students to listen to as so much worthy advice from an amazing get artist!
"Wonderful stuff"
An object lesson in what it is to be a person. Funny, touching and insightful.
"Not a book"
This is four lectures availble for free at the BBC website which is why I gave it a bad review. The four lectures though where fantastic.
"Substance Behind the Shimmering Eyeshadow"
You can't afford an art piece created by Grayson Perry so for a single Audible credit have a listen to his insightful contemporary art world overview. I did and will again.
Listening is like being with Perry after his bath but before the makeup. Although Perry is in his customary drag attire when delivering his orations there are no distractions from his messages which are humorously honest and at times ...just honest.
Grayson Perry is a character of himself in this biographical reflective psychoanalysis of the contemporary art world.
A little laughter and a lot of reflection.
A trustworthy one point perspective of contemporary art history from the self proclaimed cynical artist Grayson Perrry .
"Joyful and inspiring"
Grayson Perry is marvelous; his perspective on the art world is refreshing and lighthearted, yet aptly serious when necessary. A short listen, but I found myself laughing along with the audience, and inspired by how he defines quality. The man is a joker, but he really knows his stuff - can't recommend enough. Only caveat - too short to use your credits for! Buy this one, and save the credit for something longer.

Our Clients Say it Best:
I used Christenson Auction to sell a lot of household items that I no longer wanted on two different occasions. I was very pleased with the result. Boyd Christenson helped me get the best prices for my items by researching the value of the more unusual pieces I had and placing them in lots designed to attract sales. I appreciated his attention to detail and his availability to answer my questions. I have recommended him to my friends and family, and I would use him again!
Nancy V.
My family was very pleased when we used Christenson Auction Services for our Mother's remaining possessions. She had 49 units and we were very happy with Boyd's pictures and descriptions. The pick up day was great too, because we got to meet the people who would be enjoying her things in the years to come. I also used the service to sell the remaining things at my home after my husband's death. It worked out well and really eased the stress level of how I would get several large items sold & out of my house now that it on the market. Boyd is terrific to work with.
Fran Richter
We at Mounds View Public Schools have used the services of Christenson Auction Services for a couple of years. We have found Boyd to be easy to work with, prompt, thorough, and professional. We plan to continue to do business with him in the future, and recommend him to anyone needing auction services.
Les Bunniss and Kim Torkelson
After 20 years in our home we decided to make an international move. We put many of our belongings in storage, but after 20 years there's a lot of accumulation to deal with. Boyd came to our house and took pictures of our unwanted household goods, furniture, tools, etc. etc. He put them on his K-Bid site for auction. Once the auction was over the buyers came and picked their items and he gave us a check. It was effortless for us. One of the highlights for us was getting rid of a pile of old pavers: we had approximately two pallets of pavers stacked up next to our garage that we would've had to haul somewhere. Boyd sold the pavers for us and the buyers came and did all the heavy lifting to take them away. We highly recommend Boyd for his great service.

SUBTLE ENERGY LEGITIMIZED: U.S. Pat. #8,362,766 Circuit For Analyzing And Affecting Subtle Energy Resonance. Principles And Applications.
Without instrumentation, philosophers cannot compete with neuroscientists. A Cartesian presumption endures that mind must ever be so private and immaterial as to be technically undetectable. Approaching the fourth century of this logjam, how does philosophy progress? Excluding emerging categories of technical evidence precludes the ability to ground consciousness objectively, yet apart from mere switches (neurons). Addressing this quandary, SJL's research into peculiarly-sensitive semiconductors has now earned the first USPTO recognition of its kind: a system for analyzing and affecting consciousness-related energies so subtle as to have evaded detection by conventional electromagnetic means. SJL's newly-certified instrumentation offers philosophy an escape from self-imposed limitations by enabling objective insight into two key areas inaccessible to neuroscience. First, is consciousness of inner states unprovoked by sensory input–reflection, memory, reverie–creative and intuitive solutions emerging from 95% unconsciousness into 5% consciousness: and how effectively the 5% concentrates, intends, attends, meditates, operates upon the world. The second area concerns impressions of spaces or places. Ceremonial venues or humble doorways may suggest the sacred, commercial, natural, entertaining, competitive, healthy, or the dangerous. What is the origin, information content, and accuracy of these sentiments? Novel devices have been asserted to store intentions that could later and elsewhere influence physical, chemical, and biological processes. Continent-spanning entanglement stimulated some deep re-thinking of quantum physics. Yet these claims were vulnerable for their dependence on highly-practiced meditators. Since 2006, SJL has focused on removing idiosyncratic variables from psychoenergetic technology. To TSC 2009 we reported our real-time analyzer, and entanglement experimentation showing register-specific data transfers exceeding 75% accuracy. To TSC 2010 we reported the patent application and accompanying videos. To TSC 2011 we reported FFT proof that our sensors encode situation-specific periodic waves with high signal-to-noise ratios. To TSC 2014 we are honored to report 2013 January receiving U.S. Pat. #8.362,766 Circuit for Analyzing and Affecting Subtle Energy Resonance, and to update the conference on what has now been demonstrated, learned, and theorized. To stimulate research we introduce a modular sensor that can be interfaced to any popular micro-controller. For example, an adapting detector can seed a music synthesizer with evolving waves that uniquely voice its studio. Emotion-sensitive detectors enhance personal electronic devices. Signature capture also informs reversing the process: impressing minds and places with signatures generated from other sources. Signatures as diverse as healing disease, managing classrooms, purifying materials, increasing solar panel yields, or modulating nano-fabrication space could be distributed via the web. Theoretically, we suppose a Subtle Timbral Spectrum model within electromagnetics describing a massively-parallel wide-band crystalline-based gigahertz frequency response through stochastic resonance–invoking this biological mechanism to highlight the interface of inanimate and animate. Finally, we solicit the conference's expertise in quantum consciousness with regards to prior suggested SU(2) gauge state modulation, but more importantly, possible congruence with the Penrose-Hameroff-Bandyopadhyay trajectory–the coincidental points being animate emergence of the crystalline realm, and microtubule megahertz frequency generation.

went something like this:
"I want an Executive Order banning this and licensing that!"
(various Democrats)"Are you trying to DESTROY us?"
"I have a pen!"
we don't have to support your crap! We want to STAY in these offices,
and if you do this- it's an ELECTION YEAR, you idiot! Just stick with "We must be tolerant", and hit on the no-fly list; enough people will believe that that it'll get you through your speech without killing us."
So we get a speech that
"I have everything under control.
The important thing is to make sure we don't offend any muslims.
I want you to let me take your guns away based on a secret list that we don't even have to tell you if or why you're on it."
Borrowing from Insty,
Because when people are talking about gun control, they're not talking
about Obama's many failures, ranging from the failures of vetting and
counterterrorism that may have led to the San Bernardino attacks
themselves, to Obama's foreign policy debacles in Syria, Iraq,
Afghanistan and Libya, to how the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag campaign
against Boko Haram accomplished nothing, to how Putin is running wild in
Eastern Europe, to Obama's plans to import more poorly-vetted refugees
from Muslim countries that foment terror or the still-anemic economy
that has left far too many Americans unemployed or underemployed despite
years of "recovery".

Actress Pamela Anderson is adding clothing designer to her resume — she's teamed up with couturier Richie Rich for a line of environmentally friendly fashion.
The animal rights activist and Rich, of fashion duo Heatherette, are collaborating on a line of leather-free shoes and casual clothes including hooded tops, skirts and swimwear for the new Muse brand.
She says, "I really don't like to wear clothes. I would rather go naked. But I love Richie's designs, so I agreed to be part of Muse."
Rich adds, "Pam is an outdoorsy and summer kind of girl who I have been friends with forever. We share the same wild and crazy aesthetic. And she has long been my inspiration.
"Even though Pam prefers not to wear clothes, she looks great in sexy dresses. She reminds me of Marilyn Monroe and Bridget Bardot."
The fashion line is scheduled to debut this summer.

In a few hours' time, I am going to be sleeping in a hammock, or maybe lazily reading Blood Bones and Butter (fabulous, do check out) while breathing the salty sea air and overdosing on vitamin D. #smugholidayface I'm going on a little retreat and it's going to be amazing– the sun, the sand, the yoga... the ayurvedic vegetarian meals, yikes.
Thanks mum for worriedly asking if I should sneak some 'proper' food into my bag, but I'll do fine.
We could have a meal with just dishes of vegetables. There could be marrow, simmered with goji berries in a light pork stock; aubergines, fried with sambal made with fermented shrimp paste; carrots, shredded and tossed in a sharp fish sauce-spiked dressing; bok choy, simply steamed and then drizzled with oyster sauce. I think you might have noticed something here. Nothing is vegetarian. (And that aubergines and carrots are not green, shush you get the point.)
"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." It's a pretty famous quote in a New York Times article by Michael Pollan in response to all those unhealthy/ crazy diets out there. I smiled when I read that for the first time, because it's exactly the way I eat, rather unintentionally (though I would also like to add "with delight, with friends, and with an extra squirt of chilli", and I don't do too well on the "not too much" all the time).
The sort-of-recipe here is a classic example of that. It's one of my mum's favourite ways with vegetables. This will work with almost anything, and the most boring white cabbage fried this way has me and my sisters chopsticks-fighting. The vegetable here is nai bai, similar to baby bok choy but with a white stem and crinkly leaves, but use whatever greens you like; I dare you to find me a vegetable that won't taste good fried this way, with copious amounts of crushed garlic and dried shrimps, and in good ol' healthy lard of course.
serves 1(me) to 4
500g nai bai, or choice of vegetable*
8 cloves garlic (yes.)
2 heaped tbsp dried shrimps
2 tbsp lard**
3- 4 tbsp of warm water
pinch of sea salt
1. Soak the dried shrimps in the warm water for 10 min or till soft. Drain and save the soaking liquid it's bloody amazing and forms the stock for later.
2. Trim the bottoms of the nai bai, wash and dry well.
3. Mum pounds the garlic with the dried shrimp and a big pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle. This helps to release their flavour better in a quick stir-fry. You can also just mince very very finely.
3. Heat wok till smoking hot, then add the lard. Once lard is hot, add the garlic-shrimp mixture and stir-fry till fragrant, it will only take a few seconds.
4. Add the nai bai and stir-fry on high heat for a minute, before adding the soaking liquid*. Continue frying until just withered. Plate up and eat straight away.
*if using a hardier vegetable like cabbage, after adding the soaking liquid, cover and let cook on medium heat till tender. Sweet pumpkinish squashes work extremely well too.
**from happy pigs please
This is how you eat vegetables in Asia, or at the very least in my home – with lard, and with pleasure.
.. fingers crossed for the next few days.
p.s. Before anybody shoots me, "in Asia" is specific to the Chinese/ migrant Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, aka er, in my home. Muslims of course do not use lard, and certain Indian households do not even use anything that used to move– I am in awe.
Other non-vegetarian vegetable dishes
Killer sambal grilled aubergines
Sayur lodeh, a veg curry but better
Mum's marrow stew
Simmered kabocha squash
Soon kueh, steamed turnip (gluten-free) dumplings
Cashew asparagus

Remote Sensing as a valuable tool for Agrisciences
Emerging technologies, such as hyperspectral imaging and 3D Laser Scanning, are capable of rapidly providing enhanced information and plant metrics across thousands of acres with the spatial resolution to delineate individual plots and/or plants and the temporal advantage of tracking changes throughout the growing cycle. Conventional methods are often time consuming and generally categorical in contrast to what can be analyzed through automated digital detection and analysis technologies categorized as remote sensing tools.
Mapping, Monitoring and Detection
The trained use of hyperspectral imaging, spectroscopy and/or 3D mapping allows for the substantial increase in the number of scalable physical observables in the field or in the greenhouse. Mapping, analyzing and digitally rendering crops with advanced computational algorithms to form a complete virtual model for describing unique mathematical observables corresponding to a variety of key plant traits. In effect, the multi sensor collection approach creates a virtual world of phenotype data in which all the crop observables become mathematical values.
Crop Health Monitoring
Signature Libraries and Temporal Trends
With repeated multitemporal collections and observations, the derived spectral signature libraries and 3D point cloud data sets acquire a temporal component, supporting the emergence of new behavioral models as new ways of seeing the growth cycle. The effects of treatments, stresses in the field, various environmental conditions and stressors are observed by incorporating all three dimensions, i.e. spatial, spectral and temporal.

I ran across these beauties at an auction a few month ago…
Unsure of whether or not they were in working condition, I took the risk & bought them {they were cheap:)}. I was thrilled when I plugged them in & they worked!
I decided they were perfect candidates for the spray paint treatment. And not just any spray paint, RED spray paint! I wanted them to be a little funky & really add a pop of color to whatever room they ended up in. So, after a little tape work…
It was time to bring on the red! I used Valspar spray paint on these & it went on beautifully.
After the proper drying time, I topped these with basic white shades {found for a steal at a garage sale!}. With every intention of selling these, they've taken up residence in my kitchen, hmmm….
So there you have it, don't be afraid of those
ugly unloved brass lamps. A little spray paint therapy is all they need:).

Life at the Tip of a Spear—Part Three: The Balkans
Posted by Brett Hamm
12. Apr, 2012
Nearly a year ago, my editor asked if I'd be interested in interviewing Garth Jones, a former British SAS soldier and security contractor who'd worked extensively in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan. I of course said yes without hesitation. What follows is part three of his story as told to me.
Click here to read part one, here to read part two.
Brett Hamm: When you finished up in Ireland, did you say you took a break before you went to the former Yugoslavia?
Garth Jones: Yeah, I was bopping around. I did some contract work for some American banks, JP Morgan or Chase Manhattan at the time and then Citigroup.
I ran into that buddy of mine who was running that little squadron down in Dorsett. He said to me look, we're putting together a unique test for the British government where you get 21,22, and 23 Regiments of the Special Air Service together—22 being regular and 21 and 23 being reservists but basically regular—and creating a unit to perform a particular function that at the time they didn't have the manning to keep up. So you're talking post-Dayton Accord, American mandated to police, set-up elections and generally bring a bit of so-called democracy and stability to Bosnia Herzegovina.
We were blistered onto a forward operating base of the US Army in a town—which I won't say the name of—on the border of Serbia proper and Bosnia-Herzegovina, on the river. And there's three or four towns of interest in that area of operation which we called patrols—Joint Communication Officer (JCO) patrols made up of six to eight guys.
BH: So that's pretty small…
GJ: Yeah, totally. And you're living with the local populous, you're not living on the army base. The nearest army base was like six Ks away.
BH: Did you live with the other guys on your patrol?
GJ: Yeah, it's just the six or seven guys. We were living in a doctor's house and we were renting it from him. He was elsewhere in Europe. And we had a house-keeper—a beautiful lady. Lovely, lovely—just awesome—fish stew. Absolutely fantastic.
The way it worked was we had the trust of the locals. We wore uniform but it was an image to portray to everybody that we were just more people working on communications around the elections.
Our true mandate was covert activity tracking the grooming of assets or resources working for war crimes suspects—known suspects.
BH: How much did you actually do on your publicly purported mission of keeping an eye on the elections? Did you actually do much of that?
GJ: Nothing.
BH: Nothing?
GJ: [Laughs]. Not as such, the Americans were doing all that. We were working with the Americans a lot and the way it worked was, this great guy, a colonel from a New York family, really charismatic guy, had a relationship with the patrol before us and we had a really good relationship with him and we were watching particular characters within the town who kind of run the show. There were military uniformed police, ex-commanders, who worked for people like Radovan Karadzic.
BH: So these were the people you were there to keep an eye on?
GJ: Yeah, find out what they're doing, the main reason being to stop any spin up of a second conflict because it was going to come from that area.
We used to go across the Serbian side a lot, walk across the bridge. The town itself had a dog food factory. During the war, some of the individuals we were watching were alleged to have rounded up Muslims, Bosnians further down the country, rounding them up in trucks and then shooting them against the wall and then putting them through the big meat mincer [in the factory]. And they had this hose that went out over the river and they'd just fire it into the river.
European Human Rights, the UN, came in and divers came in to take riverbed samples and brought up that much discarded flesh and bone chips and teeth. If you went by the dog food factory, if you look, an AK47 will go across from bottom left to top right—it's the way it works because of the way it ejects the cartridges. When you actually look at the wall, you can see the diagonals, thousands of them, up the wall.
They were military uniformed police in Serbia proper, which is like a militia that dons uniform and goes hard. These guys were some ex-military or still-serving Serbian military commanders who were basically running around like gangsters dealing in guns, drugs, prostitutes, whatever you want, funding subversive cells to come in and bomb houses—relocated Muslim's houses—to subvert the Dayton Accord.
We had people in all the areas where you had the atrocities—the mass graves— we had JCO patrols. We were the eyes and ears, using pretty hardcore, cutting edge encryption satellites and mobile communications—and lots of cheeky stuff —that we were feeding back to the Americans.
We were [also] feeding back to our bosses back in the UK and whoever then peeled off that information we weren't too sure.
There was a lot of sub-grade Russian weaponry left over after the war which was being sold to gangsters for just criminal activity. What we were on the lookout for was the selling of heavy stuff to people who might turn 'round and start using it to spin up a conflict again.
And you're talking everything from C-4 explosives to ground-to-air missile systems and RPGs and stuff like that. And we basically lived there and then handed over to US Navy SEALS. Their mandate was the Americans would come in to fill in for a while, because we were an experiment and it worked really well, but we didn't have the guys. And the Americans had the guys and said we want in on this JCO thing. So they came in but because of the relationship that the Americans had nurtured during the war, where they were blatantly air-dropping weapons into Bosnian forces to go and fight the Serbs, when you're living in a Serb village and you change the JCOs to Americans, the local villagers were not appreciative of this move. They weren't happy at all. And you know, when we lived in ours, we'd get informants coming up to the back of the house at night.
BH: And these were just average people that happened to hear something or see something?
GJ: Uh…Yeah…a lot of it was. This model of informants reporting 'major finds' is also prevalent in other insurgencies. You could overlay it onto any counter-insurgency conflict going on right now—for instance, Afghanistan and Iraq.
So you've got a bunch of terrorists—or "bad men" shall we call them—who just got a swag of new weapons come in. So lets say you're on the border in Afghanistan, and loads of new weapons come in—500 AK47s, still in the grease proof paper. So you dish 'em all out to your "bad" guys, take all their rusted old shitty stuff and bury it in a hole and you get one of your guys to go to the Americans and say, "I found a weapons cache man. Give me five grand and I'll show you where it is."
So the Americans pay up the money, he takes them, and they actually get to recycle their shit weapons by getting the Coalition to pay for it. [Laughs]. Never under estimate the business. It's always a cash for product exchange. It's never product for product. And then they'll go away and buy a shed-load of ammunition with the money they just got.
And that model has been in play from anywhere in the Middle East to the Balkans. It's a pretty standard business. The military potentially knows exactly where their money's going to go but they can't stop it or prove it and at the end of the day you're still taking a bunch of rusty old weapons—that could be used—off the market.
BH: But giving them money to maybe go buy new ones.
GJ: Like our float, our budget was huge and in cash because it gets you everything—information, friendship. You're not there to kick in doors, it's a counter insurgency. You're there to subvert the activity that could turn into a full-blown conflict.
BH: When you've got all this money where does that sit? Where do you keep it?
GJ: You keep it in the house. Keeping in mind, in the comms room I had in my house, we'd pretty much had it all state of the art. We could call an airstrike to within fifty meters of our house in about 10 seconds. We had infrared strobe systems on the roof to cater for it, an extraction point at a railway line that we tested out every couple of months where Bradley's would trigger from the forward operating base.
BH: What's a Bradley?
GJ: Oh, the American fighting vehicle. And they'd be overt, just charge through the fields, over the town, meet us at a railway crossing and we'd dive in the back. But we did it one time, we were running down the railway line and no one's making any noise and I've got the sat-comm on my ear and you can hear the Bradley's coming. So we've gone dark, we're just sat there and I look up and there's this local guy, leaning over his fence. He's just like five meters away from me and I'm like "Hi!" He was like "Nice evening". He can see like seven faces—boing! What are you going to do? My boss in the front is going move on, forget him. But you know, it's not a case of you're compromised and you have to get out. There was an understanding. If they wanted to whack us, they could have whacked us at any point. I used to go running.
BH: By yourself?
GJ: Yeah, I'd take a run on the streets. And everybody knows who you are. People say hello. Little kids come out and wave at you, because the relationship was we're British and they are not sure who or what we are. We didn't do anything wrong by them, if they were not involved in the 'dark side' of the mission and came on our radar, then they had nothing to fear, and if they did 'mess' with the patrol in the doctors house, nasty things may happen to them in the middle of the night…They're getting something out of us, we're splashing cash around, so there's a tolerance.
Our mandate was to go out and mix with the locals at night, so there was an element of drinking accepted. It was quite unique, because Serbs will not talk to you unless you've had at least one slivovitz and you smoked 10 cigarettes. So, I remember I was taken off duty for two days because it was my birthday and the local character we were watching—who I'd befriended (and my boss befriended even more)—put on a surprise birthday party for me at a local club in the town. Turned up with two BMWs with blacked out windows and said "Come on, let's go!"
It wasn't a boring time. We had an election day and there were gunships called in, houses being blown up, hotel shoot-outs, but it was very hard to differentiate between gangster shit and people who were trying to subvert the Dayton Accord. And to be honest, my view on it was, it was probably 90% gangster shit.
BH: Some must overlap though.
GJ: All the time. I think in many ways, the order that things took priority for the people involved was money first, and if it helps the cause a bit, then that's great. The other thing was, there were certain military commanders on the Serbian side who were allowing things to be smuggled across…and you had to keep them on side if you're operating in their area. And a lot of that would be they either got a kick-back or you'd do 'em favours. Guns, or petrol…
It was all these basics of what is happening right now in Iraq, trying to restabilise a country that had destabilised itself. I mean we did our fair share of smashing shit up. I was in Dubrovnik three years ago for a wedding, walking down the main street and you can see where the JDAMs had been hitting in Dubrovnik town that had been dropped from British fighter planes. So, still a lot of fresh animosity and history.
It was a little war in the Balkans, very convenient, a lot of testing of kit. A few people were killed. A few of our guys were killed previous to the operation we did. And that's mainly from luck and flaw—bad luck and flaw, being in the wrong place.
But at any point, with my comms room, which was degreed up to top secret, I had white phosphorous grenades attached to the top of each radio unit and sat-comm unit. On-the-wall maps were film coated with a fire-spray. So I could literally—if we were going to pull the pin I'd just cue the grenades and they take about ten seconds to go, get out the room, leave the house and the whole thing goes up, destroys everything. You sleep with a gun under your pillow or in your hand and an ear on the chilly night air.

The Goods: Overthrownby Colin Hope / Vancouver Canucks
Canucks Rise To Power
Coming off a four day break the Canucks looked well rested knocking off the Los Angeles Kings 5-2 in a spirited game at Rogers Arena.
The Canucks jumped out to an early 1-0 lead as Dan Hamhuis one-timed a perfect Alex Burrows backhand pass completing a classic Sedin cycle shift just 3:43 in.
After the Kings tied it up at 1-1 on a power-play tally from Justin Williams, Mason Raymond fired a wrist shot over Jonathan Quick's shoulder to restore the lead at 10:32 of the second period. David Booth assisted on the goal for his first point of the season.
Just under thee minutes later the Kings knotted it up at 2-2 when Jordan Nolan wrapped the puck into an empty following a Cory Schneider misplay.
Schneider's teammates were quick to pick him up. Daniel Sedin slapped past Quick for his 8th of the season on a two-on-one with his brother Henrik. Jannik Hansen made it 4-2 sniping the top corner with just under two minutes remainging in the second period.
Chris Higgins added an empty-netter for his 5th of the season and giving him points in three straight games.
Tom Sestito made his Canucks debut and wasted no time making new fans. On his second shift of the game the Sestito dropped the mitts with Jordan Nolan receiving a standing ovation from the Vancouver crowd.
The Canucks are right back at it tomorrow night as they face travel to Calgary to face the Flames.

One of the more frustrating aspects of calendaring systems is that the freebusy lookups are all proprietary. Meeting invitations can be sent from one system to another (assuming you know a time to meet). However, it is not possible to lookup when someone from Lotuslive, someone from gmail and someone from Yahoo are all available to meet. In the corporate space this type of scheduling is invaluable.
The format for looking up someone's freebusy time is included in a standard that was completed in 1998, but they punted on all the hard stuff. The hard bit, as I have mentioned before, is working out where someone's freebusy is stored on the web and then authenticating with that store in a manner that can be verified. WebFinger and OAuth are now putting the complete round trip within spitting distance.
Below I'll propose an approach to scheduling a meeting with my mom (who uses gmail) from LotusLive (which I use). I will be firstname.lastname@example.com (but using LotusLive for my calendaring service) and my mom is firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll also assume that my mom has told google that it can share her calendar free time data with any one in her contact list and that I am in her contact list.
- I head into my calendar service (on lotuslive), click on Add Event and type email@example.com into the invitees list.
- LotusLive now uses WebFinger to lookup the different api services that google provides for access to my mom's data along with the corresponding URL for the service. The details on how this works are outlined here on Eran's blog. At the end of this, LotusLive gets back a XRD document that looks something like the following.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<XRD xmlns='http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/xri/xrd-1.0'>
<Link rel='http://portablecontacts.net/spec/1.0'
href='http://google.com/api/people/' />
<Link rel='http://ietf.org/icalendar/freebusy'
href='https://google.com/api/calendar/mom/freebusy/' />
From this LotusLive can now determine that my mom's freebusy endpoint is at https://google.com/api/calendar/mom/freebusy/. It concludes this by looking for the link with a rel attribute of http://ietf.org/icalendar/freebusy
- If my mom had made her freetime calendar data public then LotusLive can simply retrieve the data from the URL, but to add to the complexity let's assume that it requires authentication i.e. LotusLive needs to prove to Google that it has email@example.com at the browser and then Google checks that firstname.lastname@example.com is in my mom's contact list. We'll do something here very similar to what signed fetches do in opensocial i.e. lotuslive will use OAuth to assert that it has email@example.com at the browser. What we'll end up with is a url that looks something like
LotusLive has here claimed that it has firstname.lastname@example.com at the browser and using OAuth has signed the request with a private key. It has also indicated where the public key is to validate the signature.
- Google receives the request, retrieves the public key and verifies the signature. If it trusts signatures and keys from LotusLive (verifiable by retrieving certs from an https url with a lotuslive.com domain) then it is done at this point. However that is a fairly large amount of trust to place on LotusLive as LotusLive could assert on behalf of any identity. Google really needs to check that LotusLive can assert email@example.com's identity. Here we'll use webfinger again.
- Google now does a WebFinger lookup on firstname.lastname@example.com and gets an XRD document such as the one below
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<XRD xmlns='http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/xri/xrd-1.0'>
<Link rel='IDP' href='
' />
Google now sees that lotuslive.com is a valid Identity Provider for email@example.com and so accepts the assertion.
- Google checks that email@example.com is in my mom's list of contacts and as I am returns her freebusy.
- Finally, LotusLive gets a response from Google outlining my mom's free time and displays it in a nice calendar. I can choose a time that she is free and send her an invite.
I know this is not perfect and I know there are probably a fair amount of changes that are needed, but I wanted to jot down something that, I think, is fairly close to a workable solution. Am very interested in other's thoughts.
p.s. WebFinger on email addresses does provide a means of discovering valid email addresses, but no where near as much as this does. The fight against spam can't center on not making email addresses discoverable.

By: Mike Duke
Genre: Horror
Publication date: 3.27.2017
Pages: 89
Carl and Jessica are emotionally stretched thin, down on their financial luck, and stuck moving into a really nasty apartment complex after Jessica gets laid off and Carl is already on a fixed disability payment.
From day one, they see lots of roaches in the hallways, but nothing in their own apartment. Hoping their luck will hold, they have no idea just what kind of hell is coming their way, or what hideous secrets their apartment, in particular, holds.
Buckle up. Carl and Jessica are in for a nasty ride, and so are you.
Note: Not Extreme Horror, but NOT for the squeamish.
After meeting Mike at Scares That Care this past Saturday, and having a long discussion with him about this story, I decided to jump into this book of his, which has been on my Kindle for a couple of months. (I actually started it the next day while eating breakfast at my hotel, waiting for my friend to join me.)
Let me start out by saying that I don't particularly dislike bugs. Now, I'm from Texas... where roaches fly... so maybe I should, but these have never been on the top list of things that bothered me. Until now. Two pages in and I was already looking up at the ceiling above me. (Thanks, Mike!)
Roaches aren't the only bug that we encounter in this story, though, and they are far from the worst thing out there.
Carl and Jessica are good characters, and you find out quite a bit about them, even with the story being less than a hundred pages. He is on disability from an injury on the job, and she is very caring and protective of him. My favorite characters were the kids, though. Like little adults, they were, and full of adventure. Even though they had to benefit from what ever "good deed" they did, they were still such an awesome part of the story, especially with how quick they were to help Carl in whatever he had planned.
I wouldn't particularly call this a "scary story." It definitely has that creepy factor - ya know, where you stop for a minute, look around, not sure if you really did see a shadow out of the corner of your eye. It wasn't until I was laying in bed that the full impact of the story hit me. Every time something brushed against my skin, I was wide awake, looking around, wondering. In fact, it wasn't until the next morning, when I went to stand, that I realized just how tight I had been holding my legs together in my sleep. Shortly after finishing the story, my left ear REALLY started hurting, so much so that I eventually went to the doctor because the pain was unbearable. The first thing I thought, when he told me it was an ear infection, was "Oh, thank God!" haha.
The ending was particularly good, what with Carl's bond to these kids growing to another level. I would love to see these characters again.
About the author:
I'm 44, married 25 years, and have a son and daughter who are both grown and out of the house (pretty much). I was a cop for 12 years (and even spent a few years on the SWAT team) before getting into the training industry. I've been working full time the last 10 years teaching military, law enforcement, bodyguards and private citizens High Speed, Tactical and Off Road Driving and Hand to Hand Combatives. I also did a few bodyguard gigs, one for three weeks in multiple South African countries, one in Jamaica, and three for the Ultra Music Festival owner - twice in Miami and once in Sao Paolo. Had some incredible experiences, especially in Africa.
I've self-published three works thus far. Two short novellas - Ashley's Tale and Ashley's Tale: Making Jake. One short story - The Awakening. I recently was picked up by Stitched Smile Publications and they are going to be publishing my full length novel Low in the not too distant future.

These days Pop isn't such a dirty word. It's just another way of saying "Popular." And there's nothing wrong with being on top. When Andy Warhol said everyone would be famous for 15 minutes, I doubt even he knew the effects the Internet would have on our popular culture. If any contemporary artist is the direct heir to Warhol's legacy it'd be Ron English. His mastery at creating not just amazing artwork, but marketable products is a testament to an idea Picasso began and Warhol later perfected.
Also in this seasons' Art Nouveau Magazine former Terry Richardson assistant Keicchi Nitta talks iconography, Fahamu Pecou, Sarah Weaver and Mr. Brainwash are Neo-Pop saviors, J*DaVeY is ready for the world and eye popping fashion editorials featuring clothing by Mishka NYC, Gold Coast Trading Company, Pepper + Pistol, Stevie Boi Shades, Fresh Printz, Chilly O and more.
The Art Nouveau Summer Issue Super Pop is on sale June 1st at MagCloud.com.
An accompanying art show featuring work from the issue will take place August 5th at Wm Turner Gallery. More details to emerge soon.

On the same latitude as Florida and only 100km (60 miles) off the coast of Africa, Fuerteventura is less popular than the other Canary Islands, but is seeing increasing traffic from UK holidaymakers and day-trippers from Lanzarote and Gran Canaria.
Fuerteventura Airport is situated 5km (3 miles) from the capital Puerto del Rosario and only ten minutes' drive from the resort of Caleta de Fuste. Though small, the airport is clean and modern and the only steady complaints are the inflated prices of the shops and restaurants. Also, queues can move slowly in peak season.
Serving more than four million passengers per year, there are flights to Fuerteventura Airport from many cities in Europe. While some only operate in peak summer tourist seasons, there are plenty of options from cities such as London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Berlin, Brussels, Vienna, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Tenerife, Milan and Zurich.

A few years ago my research team and I set out to understand a simple question:
How do very productive academic psychologists approach their work?
We specifically were interested in professors who published a lot and whose publications were cited heavily by other academics. And because our research area was counseling psychology we specifically targeted faculty in these programs. To find these folks we tallied the numbers of publications and citations for every faculty member in a counseling psychology program and then asked the 20 most productive people on this list if they would be willing to be interviewed – 17 agreed.
As you might imagine, there was a lot to be gleaned from these interviews across many different topics – from graduate school experiences to handling administrative demands. But one topic that was especially interesting concerned how these individuals approached writing. As a piece of background, when I started my job as an assistant professor 8 years ago I read the book How to Write A Lot and it inspired me to have a very strict writing schedule. I would set aside specific and defined chunks of time during specific days of the week and write during these times. This was suggested as the way really productive people did it. But after a few months of this, I started to dread these times and my productivity wasn't getting any better. I wondered if maybe I wasn't cut out to be one of those really productive people and slowly faded back into my old routine – writing when I felt inspired and had energy, anytime, anywhere. Honestly, it felt pretty good.
A few years later when we completed our study I expected to find that all of these people wrote like the way I wished I could – on a very structured, specific schedule, chunking times in their week that were designated only for writing. And in some ways that ended up being true. Every person we talked to had a specific philosophy on how they went about writing. But what surprised all of us what that each person's philosophy or style was different. Some people wrote in the morning, some at night. Some people wrote one day a week, some every day. Some people wrote in chunks of time, some people kept time open ended. Some people only wrote at home, some only at work. The differences were remarkable but there was one similarity: everyone had achieved insight on the exact approach that worked for them and followed that approach consistently.
For anyone who is an academic psychologist or who is interested in being one in the future, being a good writer is absolutely critical. It is probably the task you will spend more time doing than any other. Of course, learning how to write well stylistically will take you a far way. For style approaches, I highly recommend Steven Pinker's book: The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century. But learning what approach to writing you need to have to write well is just as important. Despite what people may tell you, I am convinced that there is not one best, universal way to structure one's writing time, but there is one best way for you. If you don't know what that is yet your task is simple to try out as many different approaches as you can. When you do find that approach and go about maximizing your time writing with that approach, I can promise you will be amazed how much your productivity increases.

Sunday I stopped in The Asheville Public for brunch. The place was not busy so if you want a quick Sunday brunch and avoid the brunch rush downtown, TAP seems like a good alternative.
I ordered the Huevos Rancheros (two poached eggs, refried beans, roasted tomato salsa, guacamole, spiced sour cream in a corn tortilla basket).
What a winner winner chicken dinner! That spiced sour cream is off the chain! The combination of the runny egg and refried beans and being able to soak it up with that tortilla shell, heaven!
I will be stopping by the TAP for more Huevos Rancheros soon.

Well, we are completely out….and others have moved in.
I did shed a few tears. I tell myself not to be emotionally connected to houses. When you DIY "fixers" for a part-time job, you have to look at the bottom line, not the house with a ton of molding. You have to look at the possible re-sale, or renting ability, and not the perfect number of rooms.
Not "falling in love with a house" was advice given to me early on, and it's advice that has been good for me to stick with!
….but this house was more difficult than normal to leave.
For starters, I usually live in houses for around two years, and this one I had lived in for almost six. It was the longest that I had lived anywhere since high school. It was also 3200 sq ft, which means it required almost twice as much time as past houses. Oh the countless hours I had poured into that house!
I had two babies while living there, and the other kids and I moved in when they were so little…. So many memories!
It was also an incredible location! We will miss the river and the riverwalk outside the back gate a lot! We lived by our WONDERFUL family, and dear friends, and had caring neighbors…
…but over and over, I would tell myself. Don't fall in love with your houses, your cars, your job, your situations in life, because they are simply not what life is about, and all of it is temporary.
Falling in love with these things holds me back. It stifles my love for new adventures, it causes me to not rely on God to present me with what He has next for me.
When I was young, all I wanted to do was marry a farmer and live on a farm. It was what I knew, it was what I loved. I'm so glad that God pushed me outside my comfort zone. I've seen fantastic places, and met incredible people and experienced so much of life along the way. My horizons have been expanded and I have a greater perspective and respect for more in life than what I originally knew.
Do you have an upcoming change you are facing? Is it hard to let go to what you've known for some time?
I hope this post is an encouragement to you, because my advice is to pray, know that there is a plan for you, and enjoy being "stretched" during the transition. You'll arrive stronger, and more enlightened as you "travel", and you'll allow yourself to experience new adventures wherever you are going.
I love the book at Ecclesiastes. Through the entire book, Solomon, who was very wise, talks about how everything is meaningless. He had tried to please his own heart with everything he could think to make himself happy, and when it came down to it, none of it made him happy. At the end of the book he said, " So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?
I'm so happy that I enjoy my work, and I'm excited to be painting my new "canvas" (house), and loving on the community in my new location.
The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. 1 John 2:17
I sanded down the hardwoods last week. I just need to find a few minutes to get all of my posts caught up. So stay tuned everyone! I'm excited about all the ideas in my head! I finally have my camera fixed and internet at my new place…..here we go!

We firmly believe that in order to continue growing as artists and as entrepreneurs, it is important that we take time to surround ourselves and learn from the people in our industry who have already successfully paved their own way.
Some of the conversations we shared with other attendees left us dreaming bigger than we ever have before. Without big goals and dreams, we will never be able to fully grow into the person that we are called to be. We also feel that while working with your spouse is great, it is an even bigger challenge to constantly make sure we are growing together and always open to respecting each other's perspectives.
Taking time to travel and attend a conference like Engage is a great way for us to feel challenged and refreshed. Thank you to everyone who made our experience unforgettable. We'll let the photos below tell the rest of the story!

R Spark training Mumbai- Enroll Now!
R is great for machine learning, data visualization and analysis, and some areas of scientific computing.
The June update to Apache Spark brought support for R, a significant enhancement that opens the big data platform to a large audience of new potential users. Support for R in Spark 1.4 also gives users an alternative to Python. But which language will emerge as the winner for doing data science in Spark? We spoke to Databricks Ali Ghodsi for answers.
Dataframes today supports Spark's machine learning and SQL libraries, and will support the graph database and Spark Streaming libraries in the future. Eventually, Dataframes will be the main way that people interact with Spark, Ghodsi says. "One of the main ways you talk to Spark is Dataframes," he says. "If you're using R or if you're using Python or even if you're using Scala, there's a Dataframe way you can speak to Spark."
The Spark framework is evolving at a fast pace, and one of the most important enhancements was the version 1.3 release of Dataframes, which is essentially a "smashup" of different statistical vectors, according to Ghodsi. It's interesting that the Dataframes concept was originally developed within R, and the folks behind Spark saw how powerful that approach could be, so they copied it. The Python community also has its version of a Dataframe, which is embodied in the Pandas project. Spark today support both flavors of Dataframes, in R and Python Pandas, as well as Dataframes for Scala.

Veteran quarterback Aaron Garcia called on all his experience to stare down the Colorado Crush defense in a bristling second half, enabling the New York Dragons to escape the Pepsi Center with a 73-65 Arena Football League victory Monday night.
Knowing the Crush desperately needed a stop or a turnover to gain a badly needed extra possession, Garcia deftly kept the Dragons' offense going. He did his part by running in a 2-yard score that gave the Dragons a 73-59 lead with 3:26 left in the game.
Quarterback John Dutton brought the Crush back with a touchdown pass to Willie Quinnie with 38 seconds left, but Deric Yaussi missed the extra-point kick and the Dragons kept their eight-point lead.
Colorado's chances for a comeback victory ended when it failed to field an onside kick with 34 seconds left.
Dutton wasn't as thrifty as Garcia, surrendering an interception by defensive back Billy Parker in the end zone. Garcia converted the turnover into a touchdown pass to receiver Kevin Swayne for a commanding 66-52 lead with 6:11 left in the game.
A big turnover hurt the Crush in the first half when fullback Robert Thomas fumbled the ball away on a potential first-down run at the Dragons' 11-yard line.
"The turnovers hurt," Crush coach Mike Dailey said. "We never could get them stopped. Next week is a new game. I don't think you would see a harder effort than how we played tonight."
It was the fourth straight loss for the 4-9 Crush. However, it still has a chance to make the playoffs from the American Conference.
Receiver Chad Owens was a thorn in New York's side, scoring four touchdowns.
After playing from behind for most of the first half, the Crush pulled even at 38 on Owens' return of the second-half kickoff for a touchdown. Colorado pulled even again at 45 on a circus catch by Owens on a 20-yard pass from Dutton with 6:38 left in the third quarter.
The Crush was even again at 45 on Ben Nelson's touchdown catch. But an offside penalty nullified a Rashad Floyd interception, and the Crush lost a chance to take the lead.
After Thomas' crucial fumble, Garcia took the Dragons to the Crush 1-yard line in five plays, and receiver Keron Henry scored the touchdown on a run. The Dragons eventually built a 38-31 halftime advantage.
The Crush missed a chance to get closer as the half ended. Dutton couldn't find an open receiver on three tries from the New York 12-yard line, and Yaussi came on and kicked a 27-yard field goal to make it a seven-point game.

Madoff trustee sues philanthropist, others
- |
SAN FRANCISCO - The trustee liquidating Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC sued Stanley Chais and other defendants over claims they received more than $1 billion doing business as "insiders" with Madoff's firm.
Similar lawsuits will be filed in coming weeks and months, said the trustee, Irving Picard, in a statement distributed yesterday by PR Newswire.
Chais is a philanthropist and investment adviser based in Los Angeles.
"This is the first of several actions that will be brought against entities that either acted as insiders with Bernard Madoff and BLMIS or that benefited from Madoff's scheme to the severe detriment of other customers of BLMIS," David Sheehan, a lawyer for Picard, said in the statement, referring to Madoff's firm by its initials.
Madoff, 71, pleaded guilty in March to running the biggest Ponzi scheme ever. He faces a prison sentence of up to 150 years.

I will kick it off: today I rammed up some molds to find that I'm out of oil. And I got a nice fine mesh screen to refine my sand with, it is only sifted through a window screen at this point. Gotta dry it out first. And tomorrow I am going to try veggie oil for the first time, and pour those molds that are waiting for me.

God willin' and Murphy's Law in abeyance, the Empire will have a new look and some different content by Labor Day.
"Uh-oh," some of you may say in reaction to the advent of an Empire makeover. "I hope they don't change ....." (fill in the blank with your favorite part of the newspaper).
Having lived in towns where a significant number of readers ignored or despised the paper, or one of the two papers, I recognize Empire readers to be loyal, fair-minded, discerning, constructively critical, engaged and opinionated.
The beauty of living in a town the size of Juneau is our mutual accessibility. We can know one another. Empire newsroom employees don't operate from the isolation of an ivory tower telling you only what we think you need to know. Readers can contact Empire reporters and editors and tell us what you like and don't like about the paper.
We may not always agree. Sometimes we may not be able to accommodate your requests. Lest I be too cryptic, let me share a recent example.
When I opened my e-mail on Friday, a reader let me know we were not doing enough in our reporting of the controversy involving a Juneau-Douglas High School student who has been suspended for hoisting a banner off campus and for carrying a leather-working tool on campus.
Soon, the phone rang and a reader told me that we should be more cautious in our reporting of that story lest we provoke a tragedy. She suggested we keep stories about the JDHS controversy off the front page and the suspended student's photo out of the paper.
Do more? Do less?
To one reader, playing this story anywhere other than the front page was sweeping it under the rug.
To another reader, playing this story on the front page may be irresponsible.
Dealing with the contrasting opinions within minutes of each other left me momentarily frustrated. The beauty of the situation is that both readers felt connected enough to their hometown paper to contact the editor.
At the risk of complicating my life, I'm asking for more feedback.
To anyone who feels the Empire ain't broke and shouldn't be fixed, thank you very much, but we know there is room for improvement. Incrementally, the paper has improved. This Week, an arts and entertainment magazine that includes TV listings, debuted in December. Empire Outdoors offers stories about recreational opportunities in our beautiful backyard. The Neighbors page has evolved from a jumble of superficial stories illustrated with black-and-white photos to a collection of community events often anchored by a staff-written feature and illustrated with color photographs.
But what now? How do you feel about:
A color weather map? The placement of obituaries? The amount of space devoted to national sports? The mix of local, national and international news? Theme pages such as Food, Books, Travel, Religion, Health, Technology and Personal Finance? The content of the stocks listings? Better display for Empire Outdoors? Op-ed columnists? Business Profiles? More national and world news briefs? The sky boxes across the top of our front page? Do you use them? Celebrity news? The bridge column?
If Ann Landers replaced Dear Abby, would you care? If the horoscope disappeared, would you howl? Do you have suggestions about improving coverage of schools, the medical community, the Coast Guard?
What are your favorite comics? Which ones should we replace (Garfield, For Better or Worse and Peanuts scored highest while Sylvia, Monty and Alley Oop rated lowest in a preliminary poll.)
We are going to perfect our polling and engage some of you in focus groups in coming months. For now, I encourage you to comment on anything I've mentioned and anything I've left out by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Fax me at 586-3028, or write to me in care of the Empire, 3100 Channel Drive. For now, it won't be possible for me to field the high volume of telephone calls a request such as this may generate, but I look forward to setting aside some future mornings, afternoons and evenings to accommodate call-in comments.
Steve Reed is managing editor of the Empire.

National Security Minister Jack Warner's crime statistics are an attempt to fool the people into believing crime has decreased when it has escalated, claims Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley.
Rowley, at a press conference at the office of the Parliament yesterday, charged that the Government was playing the games of "lies, damn lies and statistics".
"The crime situation in 2012 is worse than it was in 2011, that is a fact," said Rowley.
He said in order to treat with this, Warner came up with a report to give the impression that things were improving.
Rowley quoted murder statistics from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service:
2011�354 (from mid-August to December there was a State of Emergency)
"If in 2011 you had 354 and in 2012 you had 383, then clearly it has turned around and has gone for the worst."
The PNM, said Rowley, believes that there were more murders in 2012 than 383 and calculations by the party estimates it at some 409 murders.
"Even if you accept the Minister's figure of 383, it is higher than the year before."
Rowley said what Warner has done is averaged the murders--the murders of 2008 and 2009 to get an average of 527 and the murders of 2010, 2011 and 2012 to get an average of 400.
"If ever there was sleight of hand this is it," said Rowley as he slammed Warner for taking up Parliament's time to say crime has decreased by 25 per cent when the situation was reversed.

We'd have these little reaccuring arguments that just don't resolve. We figured why not ask the internet for help?

When asked why they started doing this series - Bick explained, "We'd have these little reoccurring arguments that just don't resolve. We figured why not ask the internet for help?" Antzis pipes up, 'It's cheaper than therapy and easier too, just need a camera and an internet connection!'

Just swapped out my Manitou for a Reba. Got the adapter for the Avids but still cannot seem to get them to fit. I have all the adjustable specers, two on each side of the bolt going to the calliper. The inside pads hits the adapter plate. It seems like I either need to grind out the adapter a bit or have the fork tabs faced. My LBS said I should not need to ge the taps faced because I have the adjustability with the Avids.
By the way his advice came over the phone. Any suggestions before I go to my LBS tomorrow?
Missed a beautiful 70 degree afternoon.

iPhone Mania
Date: Tuesday, June 26th, 2007, 14:47
Category: iPhone
The carnival comes to town on Friday. Round and round she goes and where she stops, nobody knows. Be certain of just one thing, initial stock will sell out. Come Monday, after all the cotton candy and fireworks are gone, what will the iPhone business look like?
The Good: Industrial design and ease of use. Forget about the touch screen vs. micro keypad debate. The iPhone itself will be a killer gadget and price will not be an obstacle. As an object and a tool, the iPhone will set the bar, just like the iPod.
The Bad: The iPhone could have problems. Apple kinds of problems. Touch screens that don't work or that crack. Unacceptable battery life. Basically design and quality control issues that come with secrecy or rushed development. Rapid deployment and aggressive damage control is the only way to handle a glitch with a product that has seen this much hype.
The Ugly: AT&T. They were lousy at wireless, I know, I was once a customer. After selling the mobile business to Cingular they have bought back the baby and the bath water and are in the midst of re-branding. Apple did not have the clout to break the mobile phone model that plagues the US market. Supposedly "free" phones linked to two year contracts "locked" to a single provider. Wireless with strings attached. At least the iPhone will not be customized and crippled by AT&T, as are most handsets. If all phones were sold independently and unlocked, the iPhone would be bigger than the iPod. Look to be pushed towards the high end service package at $100/month. It really hinges on AT&T, unless or until another Apple handset becomes available with an alternate service provider.

Info concerning Clarendon College revenue, and registering for elective lectures and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Clarendon College tuition costs information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Clarendon College.
By calculating your annual tuition fees and expected costs of living at the colleges and universities that you're applying to, you can get an idea of the amount of need-based financial aid that you qualify for. The financial aid office will use a formula to calculate financial need, and attempt to put together a financial aid package to enable you to enroll in school. Eligibility depends on your expected family contribution, your class year, enrollment status, and the total cost of attendance.
Basically, you need to add up the cost of tuition and related educational expenses, such as textbooks, computing equipment, room and board, transportation, and miscellaneous expenses. This determines you total cost of attendance (COA). To calculate the amount of need-based financial aid that you qualify for, you must subtract the expected family contribution (EFC) from the cost of attendance, as well as Pell grants or scholarships that you have been awarded. If you have exceptional circumstances, you may apply for additional non need-based aid such as the Federal Stafford unsubsidized loan program, or Parental PLUS Loans. Beyond degree requirements such as Clarendon College purchasing, you may consider Montana State University AP tests for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

West Columbia, SC (WLTX) - The South Carolina Emergency Management Division has partially activated its emergency operations center, in advance of any potential threat from Hurricane Matthew.
The agency took the action Monday morning, so state agencies could make some preparations.
At present, the computer model from the National Hurricane Center has Matthews tracking up the Atlantic over the next several days. If that course holds, the storm would pass about a few hundred miles off the coast of Charleston early Saturday. However, there is a chance that track could shift to the west, meaning the Palmetto State could feel greater impacts, so state officials say they just want to be prepared.
SCEMD is currently at what's known as OPCON 4, which is their next highest level of readiness above normal, day-to-day operations. OPCON 1 is their highest level.
