The minute I saw this envelope I knew the package was doomed. The OE (outer envelope) had a huge flaw. Unfortunately, the OE wasn't the only thing wrong with this piece. There were three significant problems with this appeal.
1. Dirty data. This mailing is addressed to my wife. Sort of. You see, my wife's name is Deborah, it isn't Debbie. In the nearly 20 years that I've known her, she's never gone by Debbie. She hates the name Debbie.
This is a nonprofit that we know well — and they should know us. It's the high school where Deborah and I attended (where we met and began dating, in fact). In the four years that Deborah attended this institution, she never went by Debbie. I can only speculate as to how or why they've shortened her name in their database. But regardless of the how or why, it really never should have happened.
Takeaway: Don't manipulate donor data unless you are absolutely certain the change is appropriate. As tempting as it might be, don't create nicknames for your constituents or shorten/lengthen a name unless your constituent asks you to do so. One of the most frequent complaints from donors is that nonprofits misspell their names, use the wrong name or otherwise butcher their name. It's a dumb mistake. Don't do it.
2. High production for low value. This package is a testament to the thousands of nonprofits that spend fundraising dollars on the wrong things. Inside this envelope is a beautiful, glossy, four color, three panel brochure produced on heavy card stock. Included with the brochure is a separate generic reply device and a reply envelope. No cover letter, no personalization (except the incorrect name on the outer envelope), nothing to express appreciation for her being part of their alumni community and no real story. Just a menu of giving options on an expensive brochure.
Takeaway: Spend money where it matters. Invest in a quality letter, personalized to your donor, and to her gift and participation (i.e. volunteer and event attendance) with your organization. Spend extra money on segmentation and/or including an involvement device. These are the things that increase response rates and average gift. Four color glossy card stock is nice, but mostly unnecessary. It certainly didn't add value to this package.
3. Crazy ask strategy. We've never given a gift to this organization. Ever. Not even $10. We don't have the philanthropic capacity to make a significant gift at this stage in our lives (we have two young children, a mortgage, etc.). And yet, this organization thought it would be appropriate to ask for (in this order): $10,000, $5,000, $2,200, $1,100, $500 and $100.
There are dozens of reasons they could have picked this ask array. My best guess is that since they spent money on creative instead of strategy, they picked a wide and aggressive array in an effort to capture as many gifts from people at as many giving levels as possible. Regardless of why they did this ask strategy totally missed the mark with us.
Takeaway: First, don't ask for $10,000 in the mail. That's a major gift ask, and you really ought to do that face-to-face. Second, don't ask for $10,000 from someone that has never given you a gift, and that you haven't talked to in over a decade. Third, build an ask strategy based on your donors' gift histories. For prospects that have never given before, ease them into supporting your cause by asking for gifts at a lower level first.

Biology is one of the original natural sciences, even reaching back as far as the study of anatomy in ancient Egypt, where evidence has been found of surgery, forensics, and anatomical knowledge of both organ structure and function. Biology in general is the study of life and living organisms, with specific attention to function, growth, evolution, identification and taxonomy. Modern biology is becoming an interdisciplinary field, overlapping with biomedical engineering, molecular chemistry, and genetics. The biological sciences recognize the cell as the basic unit of life, and DNA as the basic unit of heredity. Moreover, all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy via respiration or photosynthesis, and by regulating their internal environment via homeostasis.
The life sciences are defined by the scale at which organisms are studied, in that biochemistry focuses on chemical processes of life while molecular biology involves molecules and protein synthesis. Cellular biology may be broken down further into a structural analysis of cell organelles and lipid membrane boundries, such as in skin tissue or alveolar sacs in the lungs. In the field of genetic engineering, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) may be spliced together from different organisms, in an attempt to transfer hereditary traits that may increase crop yields, create a supply of stem-cells, or even clone sheep. Beyond major requirements within the natural science department, you may consider Community College of Vermont catering as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Celebrities always complain about invasions of privacy, so when the gossip website Gawker allowed fans to post sightings of their favourite stars on a street map of Manhattan, it was bound to cause a stir.
Actors, models and their publicists screamed that 'Gawker Stalker' could lead to real stalking. But one of Hollywood's biggest names has taken the battle back to the stalkers, with plans to sabotage the whole website.
George Clooney, Hollywood's current liberal beau, has hatched a plot to destroy Gawker Stalker by posting a flood of fake celebrity sightings, sending any deranged fans on futile quests around New York while their targets sleep easy.
'A couple of hundred conflicting sightings and this website is worthless. That's the fun of it,' Clooney wrote in an email to celebrity publicists that was leaked to the New York Post. Clooney's spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, said he knew of several sightings on the site of celebrities who were currently abroad.
However, Clooney's plans are unlikely to upset the people behind Gawker, whose website has become a must-read for tens of thousands of Manhattanites. The prospect of a showdown with Clooney appears to have only whetted Gawker's appetite for a fight: its editors said they were holding a competition for the first person to email them a picture of Clooney in New York. Of course, they gave specific instructions on how to find him. 'He's staying at the Peninsula and filming around Midtown. He's teasing and testing us, and we will not look away. We love him too much to ignore him,' their statement said.
Gawker Stalker's website contains a detailed street map of Manhattan that allows members of the public to post a celebrity sighting with a time and place. Recent sightings include Julia Roberts, Glenn Close, Scarlett Johansson... and Clooney himself. The site also allows spotters to post a comment, such as one person who described seeing Cate Blanchett dining at a Brooklyn bistro, adding: 'She looked simply sophisticated in a black sweater, grey skirt and funky fishnettish tights. But, really, when does she not?'.
Gawker editor Jessica Coen said there had been an over-reaction to the dangers posed by the website. 'Our spies are just regular people... people that are excited to see someone they like. Our readers are, for the most part, a very educated, well-meaning bunch,' she added.
However, for some publicists the site is far from a joke. They believe the website puts their clients at risk of attack, or at least makes the task of those seeking to harm them much easier. 'I have two words: "Rebecca Schaeffer",' said Rosenfield, referring to the 21-year-old television star who was killed in California in 1989 by an obsessed fan.

October is Pitbull Awareness Month because there are a lot of misconceptions about this breed. Pitbulls were once considered "America's dog" and were largely associated with children, for example Petey from Little Rascals and Helen Keller's dog. The traits that make them wonderful pets: loyalty, intelligence, and desire to please their owner- are what some people have used to exploit them. They are actually gentle, loving dogs and make amazing family pets. In fact, in temperament testing this breed scores consistently high – even higher than Golden Retrievers. In recognition of Pitbull Awareness Month, we will be highlighting Brookland pit bulls. If you know of an adorable pit bull you would like featured here, let us know! Meet Bonnie and Clyde, rescued Pitbulls from the DC area.
Bonnie is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier (7 years old) and Clyde is an American Staffordshire Terrier (10 years old). Although they were adopted years apart, they came with those names and seemed destined for each other! Both come from tragic beginnings, as is often the case with rescued pit bulls. Clyde was rescued at a fighting camp were he was kept outside, his chain had grown into his neck, and he had a bad abdominal infection. Bonnie's mom was a fighting dog and Bonnie was born in a shelter. Lucky for Bonnie and Clyde, they actually had it much easier than many Pits that are tortured, starved, beaten and forced to fight for their owners. The amazing thing about dogs, Pits included, is that they never hold a grudge. Bonnie and Clyde are gentle, loving, sweet dogs who are amazing with kids and seem to know to be extra gentle with the very little ones.
Clyde's favorite activity is sun-bathing. He could lay in the hot sun for hours and be perfectly happy. Bonnie is much more active and loves running, jumping and playing tug. She's also great to snuggle up with on a cold day. But mostly they LOVE to be with each other. They are completely attached at the hip. Bonnie and Clyde also love to watch out the side window and smile at their Brookland neighbors and kids when they come and go.

→ Calculating EI
The Train for Trades program is tied in to eligibility for EI upon completion so a brief review is provided here.
Employment Insurance 'regular benefits' are intended to provide "temporary financial assistance to unemployed Canadians who have lost their job through no fault of their own, while they look for work or upgrade their skills". Criteria for job losses can include "shortage of work, seasonal or mass lay-offs" (Government of Canada).
Calculating eligibility for EI is a fluid process because it is based on a number of variables including number of hours/weeks worked, pay rate, regional unemployment rate, EI history etc.
Service Canada says:
- Benefits are calculated using your "best weeks" of gross earnings (see below) during the qualifying period.
- The qualifying period can vary. The minimum is determined by regional unemployment and the maximum is the previous 52 weeks.
- Once the best weeks divisor is determined your total earnings are divided to obtain an average.
- Benefits are calculated at 55% of this amount up to a maximum amount of $524/week.
The process for calculating EI benefits went through a significant change in 2013 with the introduction of variable best weeks. Designed to make EI "more fair, flexible and responsive to regional economic conditions" your EI benefits will be calculated using your best weeks of earnings over the qualifying period (generally 52 weeks) rather than the average earnings. The number of weeks used ranges from 14-22 depending upon the rate of unemployment in your community (EI Economic Region). The areas with the lowest rates of unemployment will use the best 22 weeks while areas with the highest rates of unemployment will use the best 14 weeks).
As of February 8th to March 14th 2015, the regional unemployment rate table stated that for the St. John's Newfoundland EI Economic Region:
- the unemployment rate was 5.5%
- 700 insured hours are required to qualify for Regular Benefits (this translates to 17.5 weeks of work at 40 hours/week or 20 weeks at 35 hours/week)
- The minimum number of weeks payable is 14 while the maximum is 36.
- The benefit rate will be developed based on the best 22 weeks.
Additional funds may be available for low-income households with children (determined by receipt of Canada Child Tax Benefit). If the net family income is less than $25,921/year, then the Family Supplement can increase the benefit rate up to 80% of average insurable earnings.

poker news
Here is details : http://www.pokerlivenews.com
casino journal contain entertainment content on poker celebrities, interesting casino activities which have taken location the two online as properly as offline. For additional information please visit here http://www.pokerlivenews.com
Of training course, if you are a true poker fanatic, you will uncover the idea of subscribing to a magazine very attractive. New developments in poker will are inclined to be found right here. Tales about the spread of poker, new emergent poker variants as effectively as news about poker personalities and benefits from past poker tournaments (as effectively as announcements of upcoming poker tournaments) will usually be found in this class. How prosperous the subject material in this category turns out to be is, of course, some thing that will are likely to fluctuate based on a quantity of components but most magazines will generally try out to at least have a thing in this part.
The 2nd subject material group in the standard journal would be the 'features' group. Exceptional poker actively playing tales, stories about how poker is played in the diverse areas of the earth and reports about minor-recognized poker variants are generally to be found right here. Since the writing of these attributes will usually be simpler than the reporting on poker information, most journals will, very understandably, be richer in this regard.
The 3rd category in the common poker journal would normally be the 'reviews' class. Usually a provided poker actively playing room or a granted casino wherever poker is played will be critically explored right here. A poker training software package plan, or a poker odds calculator, or yet nonetheless a poker tracking software program will typically be the issue of critique here.
Then there is the fourth class in the standard magazine: the advertisement and endorsements class. Here you will get it : http://www.pokerlivenews.com
In a poker journal making use of a 4 component (information, profiles, tournaments and thoughts) format, the builders will normally dedicate the news area to rising troubles on the poker discipline - which could be nearly anything from a freshly launched poker internet site, to a recently released poker taking part in rule and quite considerably something else in that sequence.
For the profiles segment, the poker magazines on-line usually job interview one particular of the regarded and very accomplished poker gamers, and thanks to advancing technological innovation, most of these on the internet poker publications are nowadays ready to existing the interviews they so have out in audio or video clip formats, so that the subscriber does not have to examine them in text - which can be a quite appealing function to people of us who loathe having to take up information by reading through.
Online poker magazine's strategy to the tournaments section tends to fluctuate from journal to journal, with some opting not to have it altogether, some opting to have only information about notable poker tournaments which are very likely to attract everyone's attention, and with yet other people opting only to have data about poker tournaments whose organizers pay the magazines to have their tournaments featured.
Most on the internet poker journal subscriptions are free or sold at quite nominal financial expenses.

When you listen to classic rock, blues rock and blues it just always seems like there are so many great bands to be listening to. Back when I first started playing guitar, with my interest in these genres just starting to peak, I mentioned to another musically inclined friend of mine that I was interested in learning to play guitar. Of course his first recommendation of people to listen to was the Allman Brothers Band. I picked up Live at the Filmore East and listened to it non-stop for nearly a month... I was hooked.
That was a number of years but the intricate stretched out jams of the Allman Brothers Band and especially the unique guitar interplay between Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, speaks to me with soulful ferocity. Don't get me wrong, the band still made some great music after the tragic death of Duane Allman, but they just never reached the same peak in interplay again, in my opinion.
As a bit of a tribute to the late great Duane Allman and the Allman Brothers Band in general I thought I would include some clips of them playing live in 1970 that I've been watching on YouTube for a while.
The song is one of my favorites "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed", the venue I believe might even be the legendary Fillmore East (not sure thought, UPDATE: This has now been confirmed as being from the Filmore East Shows) and the band is in great form... such great form that, as was expected, they extended it out to around 12+ minutes... and so it has to be presented in two parts.
These clips come courtesy of craigtheairplaneman and YouTube and come with an interesting story. Apparently Craig is an author who's trying to promote his book Take Me to a Circus Tent. This book is on Jefferson Airplane and looks pretty neat. As a little thank you for uploading the clips, check out his site on the book here: http://www.takemetoacircustent.net/
Here's Part 1:
And Part 2:
I think why I this is one of my favorite songs by the Allman Brothers Band is that it is an instrumental, but there is so much melody, counter melody and harmony that you don't really notice there aren't any words at all. It's just a great bluesy, jazzy jam with so many intricate parts that come and go as the band seamlessly goes from the complete improvisation by one soloist back to crafted accents and flourishes. One of their greatest jam songs in my opinion and these two clips are a great example of that stretched out into a large format live, which is what the Allman Brothers Band always excelled at.
As I said, I'm particularly fond of Duane Allman's guitar work with this band and this song is a great example of that as well. The guitar work in general is impressive, so I'm not knocking Betts at all, but there's something slightly progressive about Duane Allman's blues licks along with tons of soul that makes him stand out.
If this is your first exposure to the Allman Brothers Band then I'd say it's a pretty good one as I prefer them live over their studio tracks (not by much though). This gives a great idea of how this band could take a song, jam for 12+ minutes and have it fly by, all the while exuding tons of emotion and soul.
Also, make sure to check out Craig's book on Jefferson Airplane if you get the chance. It sounds pretty interesting as well.
Oh and by the way, Craig's uploaded lots of other Allman Brothers Band clips to YouTube as well... There's a great performance of "Whipping Post" from this same show I believe (I was going to include it, but that one was in three parts). Check them out when you get the chance.

It's easy to watch a movie and deliver a review without thinking about the 100s of thousands of little moving pieces that it takes to make a movie successful.
Story, direction, proper casting, dialogue, lighting, sound, editing, craft service table, whether or not the star has had an affair with the married director (Kristen Stewart films) and a host of other things that we are forgetting or don't want to take the time to mention.
One piece that can either make or break a film is the marketing of said film. And that is where our story begins with The Contender.
The Contender is a great film. It takes a topic (the nomination of a female senator to replace a dead Vice President and the confirmation process) that isn't all that interesting and turns it into a fascinating tale of morality, principal and trust.
What it is not is a "first rate thriller."
The marketing for The Contender, however, is a first rate example of how even a very good film that misrepresents itself to its audience can flame out.
Although the film has an incredible cast (including Oscar nominations for both Joan Allen and Jeff Bridges with Gary Oldman being absolutely robbed of one and that's setting aside Sam Elliott who is fantastic as well), terrific plot, excellent writing (movies like this can easily feature stilted, inorganic dialogue, The Contender completely avoids that) and is wonderfully shot and edited, the marketing of the film makes it out to be something it is not and that dooms it from the outset.
Even the title doesn't make a ton of sense. The Nominee or something to that effect probably would have been more fitting.
In the end, if you are looking for a tense, political thriller, you are probably going to want to look elsewhere. If you want an excellent (if slightly idealistic and definitely left-leaning) film about the political process, The Contender comes very highly recommended by your neighborhood RockMovieProject.

With all the interesting minds on twitter, informative discussions can spontaneously emerge from simple statements. When @annaoposa spoke up about Catholic prayers in a program she attended the resulting conversation gave a good overview on the state of secularism in the Philippine justice system and how we've arrived where we are now.
Like Ryan commented in the conversation if a government sponsored program opens with a prayer, you have a right to file a complaint. I'd like to add that even if it isn't government sponsored but it's open to the public, you should complain if you're displeased with the program opening with a prayer. The organizers should know that they are pissing people off by dragging others into public displays of religiosity.
Many thanks to the people who contributed to the conversation: @ryanbalisacan, @ageofbrillig, @nerveending. We're also on twitter, follow us @ffreethinkers

Canned Beer Week: Caldera Pale Ale
Caldera Brewing in Ashland, Oregon, currently produces two canned beers: their Pale Ale and IPA. It was the first microbrewery in Oregon to can its beer, and it may be the only one; I'll do some research on that. I reviewed their Pale Ale back in September; my overall remarks:
Hoppier than I expected—still fighting "can prejudice" I guess—and a nice flavorful beer. Slip a few of these amongst the PBR and see what happens.
Not knowing what to expect when I first opened it up, it was an enlightenment. It's weird but I honestly find it tougher to take a beer seriously when it comes in a can… I suppose this is the indoctrination of years of exposure to mass-market canned macrobrews. Even as I opened the Caldera Pale Ale, there was the lingering doubt at the back of my mind.
Rest assured, it's a good beer, definitely worth seeking out if you need to undergo a little "can therapy."
Since 2005, Caldera has been canning this beer, and they give a litany of reasons:
• Cans are simply a better package than a bottle
• Cans completely block out sunlight which erodes a beer's flavor
• Cans are fully recyclable
• Cans chill quicker and keep the cold longer
• Cans are lighter in weight
• Cans are now lined to avoid any metallic taste
• Cans are easy to store
• Cans don't break
• Cans are easier to construct pyramids and model airplanes from
I won't speak to that last option, but I'll definitely have more to write about that list.
BeerAdvocate gives Caldera Pale Ale a grade of B+. RateBeer scores it at 3.27 out of 5, in their 66th percentile.

Before I review the Grid Foam Roller, I need to clarify that I am a proponent of using any foam roller for myofascial release and self massage. Adding a few sessions of foam rolling to your weekly workout plan is a great addition to any training routine, whether you are an elite or novice exerciser.

The Grid Foam Roller, however, is a excellent combination of effective massager and portability. Made by Trigger Point Performance Therapy, this new sleek foam roller design, uses EVA foam over a hollow core, which prevents break down over time. The foam design provides a variety of different densities, foam patterns and widths that provide a more targeted trigger point feel. These three different zones are designed to feel like (1) fingertips, (2) forearm/palms and (3) fingers and thumb. By using the different zones, you can easily vary the amount of pressure on specific muscles.

At about 13" long and 5" around, the Grid is much more portable than traditional foam rollers. Although I had no trouble using the Grid on all the major muscle groups I use a traditional foam roller on, it was a tight fit across my upper back and shoulders, and I suspect others will have similar issues.

Finally, the 1-year warranty, is tough to beat.

The Downside of the Grid Foam Roller

The Grid Foam Roller is small and portable. While this is definitely a plus for travel and for use on the arms and legs, for some people it could be a bit too small. Unfortunately the small size of the Grid makes it difficult to properly roll the upper back or to perform movements that require a longer surface area.

Even though it's designed with a variety of patterns and foam densities to simulate different types of massage, I had a bit of trouble, first, noticing a major difference between the types, and second, staying on the desired foam type. For some areas (calves, IT band) I wished the foam was softer, and for some areas (upper back, glutes) I needed more firmness. Compared with other foam rollers, the Grid worked exactly as advertised and all in all, it's a fine product.

I still use a longer, standard foam roller for some of my self massage work, simply because the length offers a bit more ease of use for some muscle groups.

Also, at $40 the Grid foam roller price point is quite a bit higher than a standard foam roller.

That's about all I can find wrong with this amazing new option for foam roller fans!

Why Use a Foam Roller

Using a foam roller is the best way to perform self-massage and myofascial release, but still isn't commonly used by recreational athletes. For anyone who exercises regularly, or has muscle tightness, imbalances or a history of injury, using a foam roller on a regular basis can help loosen tight muscles, reduce muscle adhesions and scar tissue formation, increase flexibility. It's also a great way to prevent muscle stiffness and aid in the rest and recovery process as well.

Used before exercise, foam rolling can help increase blood flow and prepare the muscles for exercise. Even if you don't exercise intensely, foam rolling eases aches, pains and tension caused by sitting at a computer all day.

Keep in mind that not all aches and pains and injuries can be helped by foam rolling. Check with your doctor before you use a foam roller, especially if you have some health conditions such as heart disease, PAD, problems with circulation or fibromyalgia.

Big day boosts rookie's wealth and self-belief
Page Tools
Take Australian Scott Hend for example. Until early last month, the biggest cheque of his career had been $52,000 for finishing equal seventh at last year's ANZ Championship in NSW.
But at the recent BellSouth Classic in Atlanta, Hend emerged onto the world stage to finish third, collecting $440,000. In one week, he made enough money to buy a house in Florida and went a long way towards ensuring he would keep his card in his rookie season.
And by finishing ahead of Phil Mickelson, who the following week won the US Masters, the 30-year-old Queenslander, who competed on the low-key Canadian Tour for the past four years, gained something that money cannot buy - a huge dose of confidence and self belief that he belonged at the highest level.
"The first four or five events I was intimidated maybe, but after playing well at the BellSouth I feel I'm good enough to be out here," Hend said on Wednesday, on the eve of the Byron Nelson Championship, in which he is part of an 11-man Australian contingent.
"I have the ability to hit it longer than average and I'm a better-than-average putter, and most of the time that adds up."
Hend, who earned his card via the cutthroat qualifying school late last year, is 84th on the money list with earnings of $494,500, sixth among qualifying school graduates.
He is so confident his future lies on the US Tour that he is planning to buy a house near the Sawgrass site of the Tournament Players Championship, where he will have access to the best practice facility in the world.
"I'm hoping to be here for five to 10 years at least," he said. "I've got a good enough game. I've just got to improve a bit mentally."
It certainly hasn't all been smooth sailing for Hend. He missed the cut in his first five tournaments and just last week at the Wachovia Championship he dropped five shots in the final seven holes to finish equal 44th, costing himself a bunch of cash.
Hend is joined this week by compatriots Steve Allan, Robert Allenby, Stuart Appleby, Aaron Baddeley, Greg Chalmers, Mark Hensby, Stephen Leaney, Peter Lonard, Rod Pampling and John Senden.
Fijian Vijay Singh is defending champion in an event no Australian has won since Bruce Devlin in 1969.

"I would still like to take you to New Orleans for Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras." Shaun whispered into my ear while snuggled up in bed.
Shaun had been planning a romantic getaway for us for well over 6 months – and somehow had done it all without me noticing. I can normally read him like a book when he is being sneaky – but well done, sir. WELL DONE.
–To New Orleans–
It is the city that haunts my dreams. I have been obsessed with NOLA since I was a little kid playing the Disney Magic Kingdom game and making sure to hit up New Orleans Square every time and was tickled pink to visit the Haunted Mansion when I went to Disneyland for the first time at 25.
Aside from the child-like fantasy of Disneyland, I've been wanting to experience the culture that is so incredibly different from the rest of the United States. I want to dance on the streets and have a piping hot beignet in my hand. I want to see the magic. I want to see the voodoo. I want to hear the lingering music in the air.
I devour anything New Orleans – from the culinary delights and my love for good cooking, to my obsession with crawfish boils, and the goosebumps I get when watching Treme. And that is really the tip of the iceberg.
In the 16 years that Shaun and I have been together, this very well may be the most romantic thing he's ever done for me.
He is taking me to a place of my dreams.
Keep an eye on our Instagram account if you want up to date pictures around Valentine's Day! 😀

text: Welp, my little guy is now TWO (let's have a moment of silence for this mommy balling for the baby that isn't a baby anymore) and to make it more official now we've finally officially kicked the paci to the curb. Well it was more like daddy lost it and I had finished a 12 hour shift and wasn't going out to buy another one. After looking throughout the house in all the, now empty, secret stashes….oh come on, those of you that had pacifier babies know you hide them everywhere for emergency purposes. Anyway, after a tough night I thought, well we made it through, let's try another and before we knew it he stopped asking for the "pa-hee". In fact I told him we gave it to the crying babies and somehow he was okay with that after a few "falling out" moments. We have entered the biting, the scratching, the wanting anything sissy has phase. I know I have a two year old, but at times I swear his appetite is that of a teenager. Now moving on to the other "thing" drum roll please……………POTTY TRAINING. About a month before he turned two I noticed he was interested in the Potty, wanting to sit on it and was pretty good about it if I got him to it first thing when he woke up and of course when he was successful we always make a big fuss about it. A few accidents here and there, mainly mommy trying to figure out how to sit a boy on the seat without ending up with a mess right in front. He occasionally attempts the whole standing up thing which tends to end in a mess or a near miss…..me just catching the toilet seat in the nick of time from slamming down on his you know what. Just recently he is going #2 in the pull-ups then runs to the bathroom to "dump" it in the toilet and somehow he feels accomplished……lol. Those who have potty trained little boys we need some help!!!!!!

A look inside the International Criminal Court
- |
Some might glance at the title of this program and opt for "Curb Your Enthusiasm.'' They expect a preachy, soporific treatise about the tenets of international justice. And while there is a whiff of that in "The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Court,'' they'd miss an excellent piece of journalism.
Director Pamela Yates and producer Paco de Onis bring us into the wilderness of mirrors that International Criminal Court prosecutors face in documenting, arresting, and trying the architects of crimes against humanity around the world. The 90-minute film runs briskly through war-crimes trials from Nuremberg to the present, and then chronicles in intimate fashion the attempts of the ICC's first chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, and his small team to bring the court into existence and then prosecute perpetrators.
We see the politics, the legal mind games, and the gutsy on-the-ground investigations to document massacres and issue arrest warrants for them. The program exposes the great flaw in the system: The court has no enforcement powers of its own and must rely on local governments to apprehend the suspects and bring them to The Hague in the Netherlands, where the court is located.
As of today, for example, the ICC has failed to bring to justice Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for massacres in the Darfur region of the country after issuing an arrest warrant against him. Just who is going to take the man into custody in his own country?
"The Reckoning'' also uncovers the determined - indeed, shocking - efforts by the United States under President George W. Bush to block the creation of the court and, failing that, to kill it once it went into business in 2002. The issue was national sovereignty, and we hear John Bolton, a senior State Department official at the time, say, "We should isolate and ignore the ICC,'' adding the American objective must be to make it "wither and collapse.'' More than 120 countries have joined the court, yet the big dogs - the United States, Russia, and China - have not.
The future of the court is an open question. If the ICC does not deliver the goods, it will become an impotent symbol rather than a feared force in the crucible of international justice.
What elevates the documentary was the decision to take us with ICC investigators to the Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and Sudan, among other countries, in the effort to amass evidence that supports arrest warrants. This is powerful raw footage that brings us down from the lofty language in the Hague to the brutality on the ground. The balance works.
We are mere feet away from survivors of the vicious Lords Resistance Army in Uganda as they describe the massacres committed against women and children as well as men. The army used rape as a means of intimidation and child soldiers to do the dirty work. While the victims talk, we confront appalling pictures of dead bodies and grainy footage of scary militias on the prowl.
We gain great sympathy for the charismatic Moreno-Ocampo as he struggled to bring the ICC into existence. The proceedings at the Hague may be dry and slow, but the memories of evil are riveting.

Alicia Ely Yamin, the Joseph H. Flom Fellow on Global Health and Human Rights at Harvard Law School and special advisor to Amnesty International's global campaign on poverty, will present "A Rights-Based Approach to Health" on Wednesday, Nov. 17, at 8 p.m., in Richardson Auditorium, in Morse-Ingersoll Hall. The lecture is presented under the sponsorship of the Ivan and Janice Stone World Outlook Endowment Fund.
A rights-based approach to health involves recognizing the basic human right to health, and allowing human rights standards and principles to guide health policy making and programming. Yamin, who received both her J.D. degree and a Master of Public Health degree from Harvard University, has worked extensively in this field. She has published numerous scholarly articles and books on rights-based approaches to health, and is particularly recognized as an advocate for maternal health.
The Stone Lecture is an event held during Beloit College's annual International Education Week commemorating the contributions of Ivan Stone, former professor and dean of the college, and his wife Janice Stone. Both were strong advocates for international education and experience. The World Outlook Endowment Fund, which sponsors this annual lecture, also helps make study abroad possible for students with financial need.

Report: Sather to step down as Rangers coach
February 25, 2004 NEW YORK (Ticker) - With his team skidding toward a seventh straight non-playoff season, Glen Sather reportedly will step down as coach of the New York Rangers. The New York Post reported Wednesday that Sather made his decision after meeting with Madison Square Garden CEO James Dolan on Tuesday and that an announcement will be made prior to practice on Wednesday. Sather reportedly will maintain his roles as president and general manager of the club and will hand the coaching responsibilities to either Tom Renney or Terry O'Reilly, two of his assistants.
The New York Post added that the job could be offered to Jim Schoenfeld, currently the general manager of the Hartford Wolfpack of the American Hockey League, the Rangers' top affiliate.
The newspaper report comes one week after Sather said he would remain as coach for the remainder of the season.
The Rangers have the highest payroll in the NHL at approximately $70 million, but have not made the playoffs since 1997.
Despite the acquisition of superstar Jaromir Jagr from the Washington Capitals in January, the Rangers are on course for an early summer once again. The Rangers are 4-13-2 in their last 19 games and are in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings, a distant 14 points behind the New York Islanders for the eighth and final playoff spot.
New York also is 3-9 in its last 12 games at Madison Square Garden and the coach has been the target of "Fire Sather" chants from fans frustrated with the team's performance.
New York owns a 33-39-11-7 record under Sather since he replaced Bryan Trottier behind the bench on January 30, 2003. The next coach will be the fourth in Sather's four years as general manager.
In Sather's tenure, the Rangers have acquired or signed Pavel Bure, Bobby Holik, Alexei Kovalev, Greg de Vries, Darius Kasparaitis, Vladimir Malakhov, Mike Dunham, Eric Lindros, Anson Carter and Tom Poti, but have little to show for it.
Prior to coming to the Rangers, Sather was the architect of the Edmonton Oilers' five Stanley Cup championships between 1984 and 1990. He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1997.

During the construction of Takoba, Owner Jose de Loera and former Chef Tracy Young regularly ate coconut paletas (Mexican popsicles) from street vendors. And so the Nube de Coco, which means "coconut cloud" was born. The light, fluffy mix of coconut milk, shredded coconut and vanilla is frozen and turned out onto a plate, capped with whipped cream and served with pineapple. It's simply heavenly.
link to article]]>
How has the mess of construction on East Seventh affected Takoba? So when we opened — it didn't affect us in a way that we weren't open before it happened, so it didn't really change things. We opened that way.
So do you find that most of your customers are from the neighborhood, or are people from farther away braving the construction? Definitely it's all over. One thing is when we set up our credit card machines, usually they give you statistics or numbers, like well the East Side is, I don't know, 30% credit card users and the rest use cash. So we open and we get like 95% credit cards. So what it says is that — and I know on the West Side it's mostly credit cards — we know we get people from the West Side.
And we get the community, they're in a lot. I've been on the East Side for about ten years. So I know the East Side and they come here all the time. In general we get a great mix: we get the hipsters, we get the yuppies, families, and a little bit of the bar scene. So it's a great mix.
I live in the area. Actually, that's one of the reasons I opened the restaurant here, is I live in the area and we would always complain about there's no places to go eat. I eat a lot here, not because I'm working but because I live a block away.
How will the construction ending affect business do you think? When construction is done, that's going to be huge. Everybody right now, with Seventh Street, they kind of avoid it. Like I said, I've been on the East Side for the last ten years, and I remember when East Seventh was just you go to the airport, you come from the airport. It was pretty much access-only.
How will it affect the neighborhood? This area has a lot of potential. It's just going to happen, it's just going to get bigger and bigger. We still need a lot more restaurants on the East Side. Probably with the construction ending there's going to be a lot more restaurants opening. Actually, a lot of businesses went out, a lot of restaurants just went out of business. It's been really difficult.
You definitely see a lot of for lease signs along this stretch. Yeah. So I think that's going to change. It's good for everybody, restaurants compete with each other but I think it's just good for everybody. Because it makes it a destination. It's like oh, let's go to the East Side and see what we find. Instead of just one place and oh, let's go to that place, it just makes it more difficult.
And I know the bar scene is big on the East Side. In general, I think there will be more restaurants opening on the East Side. When I first moved here, there was just nothing. Now it's just…there's a lot of good walking. Especially in this area.]]>
Find out more about Takoba in this edition of "Off the Plate." Watch the video to check it out.]]>
It's all in the way it is handmade, from the rim-rubbing with real lime, carefully coating with a shaking of salt, a dash of house-made mix and an ice-cold beer. Bring it on, Austin summer!]]>
More mod than Mex, with concrete floors and a glass-wrapped dining room; the most appealing tables are under pecan trees out front, and bands occasionally entertain in the picnic-table-equipped backyard. The menu trends downscale, though chef Nidxia Lopez throws in surprises like chile en nogada; in this case, the poblano is filled with ground beef and dotted with nibbles of pineapple, apricot, and raisins.]]>
According to Takoba general manager Tracey Young, the word sprang from De Loera's imagination as something easier to say than 'El Tacorrido,' the name of his two small Austin taquerias.
'But it actually turns out to be a Japanese sword,' Young said. 'People come in, and they're like, "Why would you name your Mexican restaurant after a Japanese sword?" But he named it that about 10 years ago, before anyone had an iPhone and they could just look it up right away and tell you you were wrong.'
Mexican restaurant, Japanese sword. No problem. The bigger issue for De Loera was finding enough parking to support the kind of place he wanted Takoba to be. So for 10 years he sublet the property on East Seventh Street to other restaurants, including the late Colombian place Doña Emilia's. Then he snagged a parking lot around the corner and set in motion plans for 170 seats across several patios, a sprawling courtyard, a bar and a dining room. And in the middle of World Cup soccer and lane-choking construction on East Seventh Street, Takoba opened in June.
It's ambitious and humble at the same time, meticulously layered outside with stone, glass and glowing wood, a plot of high urban design bordered by a gas station, a palm reader and the melancholy grandeur of the State Cemetery. Inside, it's more like a jazz supper club, with regal black-and-white prints and soft light.
The bistro-Mex alarm bells start ringing. Here on the cocktail menu is the Coconut, sort of a White Russian with horchata instead of cream. How would Señor Lebowski say it? 'El Güey abides.' A side salad with goat cheese and pecans? Not another hybrid. But then Mom steps in.
'The owner's mom, a lot of the recipes were hers,' said Young, who helped develop the menu and has by her own account cooked in five states and two islands in 15 years. 'Anyone who cooks, it's so great to be able to cook with someone's mom. A French woman's mom, an Italian woman's mom. That would work for me. I could go around cooking with anyone's mom.'
Young's collaboration with Maria De Loera is a menu of Mexican standards: ceviche with shrimp and avocado, simple guacamole, tortas with eggs and escabeche or pork al pastor, a chile relleno dish as sweet and cinnamon-scented as a sweet roll, fish in mojo de ajo, tacos. This place with planter-box landscaping and the latest shades of brown, aqua and green is at heart a taqueria, with two tacos and two sides running about $8. Ambitious and humble at the same time.
One taco tells most of the story: pork carnitas 'Don Alberto style,' named for Jose De Loera's father, Alberto.
'We've been doing this for 40 years, my dad and I, since I was a little kid,' Jose De Loera said. That would be 40 of his 44 years. 'He just cooked the pork and put it on his truck and went to sell it. It took off. The demand for my dad's carnitas was so huge that we built some taco stands.'
But city regulations pushed them to put up the first El Tacorrido building where North Lamar Boulevard meets Rundberg Lane. Takoba would follow a decade later.
In a city where family matters, where Mexican food is a birthright regardless of heritage and where a sense of style always counts for something, Takoba brings together all three at populist prices, an easy choice for Newcomer of the Year.
Takoba's hours are 11am-midnight Monday-Friday, 9am-1am on Saturday and 9am-midnight on Sunday. They'll have a big bash for the World Cup final this Sunday, and you can learn more about that, keep an eye on specials, and see pics of the full menu at their Facebook page.
The dimly lit interior evokes a sociable-but-relaxed atmosphere, with tables spread out to the far corners, a private event room and higher pub tables up near the bar, while out back you'll find a sand-and-beach chair patio, a foosball table and an enormous Mexican flag. It's as nice a date spot as it is a soccer-watching one. Another thing we like: parking on the east side can sometimes be a hassle, but Takoba has its own lot around the corner at 6th and Navasota.
The menu is extensive and unique. Platos de tacos include the de pescado (crispy fried tilapia, diced pineapple, shredded cabbage & carrot escabeche slaw, creamy chipotle mayo), the wonderful vegetarian taco de verduras (grilled zucchini, caramelized sweet potatoes, roasted corn, green chiles, queso fresco, salsa secreta) and the de carnitas estilo don Alberto (slow-braised pork shoulder served with cilantro, lime, frijoles flor de mayo).
Other menu options include enchiladas de mole con pollo, chile rellenos en nogada (roasted poblano, ground beef, dried fruit, walnut cream sauce, pomegranate), soups, salads (try the salad de la casa, with baby spinach, toasted pecans, jicama, oranges and goat cheese with a vinaigrette dressing), appetizers and ceviche.
There are also two fully-stocked bars, with beers like (512) Pecan Porter, Negra Modelo and Dogfish Head 60 Min IPA on draught, amongst others, and a roving cast of bottles which included Quilmes and Xingu when we stopped by. Cocktails include a michelada made with Salsa Valentina and a mango-habañero margarita.

CTV News Calgary Latest Videos
Calgary clinic offers rehab for Rover
CTV Calgary
Published Tuesday, February 26, 2013 4:09PM MST
Last Updated Tuesday, February 26, 2013 5:48PM MST
Physical therapy is a crucial element to a healthy recovery and a local clinic is providing remedial exercise for ailing and injured pets.
The Canine Fitness Centre in southeast Calgary has upwards of 2000 clients, all of the four legged variety.
It is Cleo's tenth trip to the underwater treadmill and even though she's not much of a water dog, the therapy is helping.
"She started to go paralyzed and we had to do emergency back surgery with her which was successful," said Janet Naclia, Cleo's owner.
Cleo needs to be encouraged with treats to make sure she keeps up the pace for her 20 minute workout.
"If she hadn't been coming for underwater treadmill therapy she may not be walking like this at all, she'd be much delayed in her recovery," said Paula Collins, Therapist.
The facility is Canada's only stand alone canine rehab facility and has been in business for nine years.
Shock was only seven-months-old when his owners noticed he was having difficulty walking.
"We don't know exactly what happened, but they think he jumped off a deck and landed funny," said Haley & Schyler Henschel.
Shock damaged the tendon in his knee and needed surgery. He has been in therapy for the last eight weeks.
"You have to be a much better diagnostician, better with your hands and what you can do and feel, your thought processing, your deductive reasoning, all of that has to be a little bit more when you're dealing with a patient that can't verbalize," said Laurie Edge-Hughes, Therapist.
For more information, visit the Canine Fitness Centre website.

I'm assuming that is a reference to re::engine::.* packages on CPAN that got pulled. But I've never heard of backpan before this.
I would like to move forward in a way least likely to cause problems in the future. re::engine::.* seems to provide the cleanest syntax, but until I know better I prefer CPAN to "backpan" packages.
I don't know why they got pulled from CPAN. Does anyone why that happened? Which would you use: POSIX::Regex from CPAN or re::engine::POSIX from backpan?

Main :: POD HD
Support forums for all POD HD products
by mirflee on 2012-08-29 04:23:41.2780
I'm running a Telecaster Custom with the JB as its bridge pickup through the POD HD. It's obviously a hotter output pickup and I'm kinda curious as to whether it could cause clipping on the POD HD. I ran it through my Scarlett 8i6 and it clips during moderate-hard strumming. Does anyone here with the similar setup experience this clipping problem? Would love to hear workaround or tweaks on this.
by mazuwa on 2012-08-29 05:16:52.0010
You can lower your pickup height to reduce output. Don't consider only the pod, it should match for all devices.
The output level of your pickups will directly change your sound and you will have to correct your presets and amp settings.
by Talenless on 2012-08-29 10:36:21.5950
i have a JB in my guitar, and i've found that to get a pristine clean tone i had to lower the pickup considerably.
there's a 3.4 mm space between the top of the low-E screw and the bottom of the low E string.
i think it sounds better further away
hope this helps
by DeanDinosaur on 2012-08-29 10:42:11.6730
I have a JB in the bridge running Pretty hot and close to the strings, No clipping! My guess is that you could be clipping the Scarlett 8i6.
by meambobbo on 2012-08-30 10:16:06.8890
there's many kinds of clipping you can get in the Pod other than input clipping:
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

At the moment I have 3 layers of clothing on, thick socks pulled up to my knees and ugg boots. I just had a cuppa, I'm still sitting here freezing, my toes are cold and my hands are like ice blocks.

A-Z Microfiction: A for Alaska
Kayla stepped out of the SUV gingerly, planting her feet carefully on the deep snow. Only her eyes and upper cheekbones were exposed but she instantly felt the bite of the cold Alaskan air on her skin. She watched as Tom unloaded their backpacks and boxes of groceries on the driveway of the Boreal Lodge.
'This. . .' Tom said, looking around at the landscape as though he'd built it. 'It's exactly what I dreamed of. This is just what we need. Isn't it amazing?'
Kayla was sure it was beautiful, but she wasn't in the best frame of mind for appreciating scenery. Seventy-five miles north of the Arctic Circle, in a village with 22 inhabitants and no shops, stiff from hours of driving from Fairbanks and the even longer flight from Texas.
It seemed an odd way to save a marriage.
