Nearly a month ago I traveled to Boston for the Catholic New Media Conference. I have my initial reflections here, but a few things in particular required some further thought. No matter the session or group I was in, over the course of the day, one thing continued to pop up, trolls.
In the roundtable discussion I gave my initial, analogical reflection. We need to be like Bilbo Baggins (I'm not in any way partial to hobbit wisdom). In dealing with the three, rather hungry and slow witted trolls on the way from The Shire. Bilbo, figuring out that they turned to stone at day's break, continued to engage them in conversation until the sun rose. I made the comparison that when speaking to trolls engage them until the Son rises. It was more comical than terribly helpful especially when five very vocal trolls take over your combox and each has differing views attacking you or each other. Your combox turns into the halls of Moria during the invasion of the goblins, loud, intense and no way out. Engaging them as such per comment would consume your time, your patience, and your charity.
Well, when I arrived back into my hotel room that afternoon, I was catching up on the Liturgy of the Hours before going out for good company that evening. It just so happened that that Saturday was the memorial of the French Jesuits who were martyred in Southern Canada. The Office of Readings was a letter from St. Jean de Brebeuf. He's writing to his fellow Jesuits on the European continent about the relative nearness of his own martyrdom. Towards the end of the letter he said this,
"My God, it grieves me greatly that you are not known, that in this savage wilderness all have not been converted to you, that sin has not been driven from it. My God, even if all the brutal tortures which prisoners in this region must endure should fall on me, I offer myself most willingly to them and I alone shall suffer them all."
Now my mind immediately went to trolls who are above all influenced by some sinful inclination, of different varieties and with different circumstances but all with lack of charity. They are an opportunity for those of us in new media to participate in Christ's cross, to receive with him the buffets and slanders and misunderstandings. The combox can be a walk up Calvary. A means for us to grow in holiness. Then, trolls are a gift, a means to sanctify us, and when one person is truly sanctified, others around him/her are invited to deeper sanctity (I call this the equation of sanctity. Think of Monica and Augustine, Andrew and Peter, Albert and Aquinas, Ignatius and Francis Xavier.)
Then, in the next 'hour' one of the psalms was Psalm 141 which held the title, "A Prayer When in Danger." I found the first nine verses pertinent. It can be a prayer on our lips when dealing with trolls.
I call upon thee, O LORD; make haste to me!
Give ear to my voice, when I call to thee!
Let my prayer be counted as incense before thee,
and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice!
Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD,
keep watch over the door of my lips!
Incline not my heart to any evil,
to busy myself with wicked deeds
in company with men who work iniquity;
and let me not eat of their dainties!
Let a good man strike or rebuke me in kindness,
but let the oil of the wicked never anoint my head;
for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.
When they are given over to those who shall condemn them,
then they shall learn that the word of the LORD is true.
As a rock which one cleaves and shatters on the land,
so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.
But my eyes are toward thee, O LORD God;
in thee I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me,
and from the snares of evildoers!
"Keep a guard over my mouth, O Lord" what a great prayer in speaking with a talking to trolls! And I couldn't have made a better connection to the Biblo analogy if I tried! The psalm does two things: 1) it brings the Lord into the equation and 2) it allows for us to separate ourselves ever so briefly from the frustration of a troll.
I hope these paltry insights are helpful to you. And continue on in your proclamation of the gospel.

What is Palestine?
Who are the Palestinians?
See Also:
• "We will not recognize Israel because it will inevitably go away. And we will not backtrack on the option of armed struggle until the liberation of all Palestine." — Khalil Al-Haya, Hamas senior official.
• The abandonment of Gaza by Israel in 2005 drove the Palestinian vote for Hamas the next year. It also explains why many Palestinians continue to support Hamas -- because they still believe that violence is the way to defeat Israel.
• Hamas believes that Israel does not have the right to defend itself against rockets and terror attacks. It even considers Israel's self-defense as an "act of terror."
• In yet another sign that exposes Hamas's ongoing preparations to attack Israel, the movement last week held a drill with live ammunition in the northern Gaza Strip.
• "What has been achieved so far is a small jihad, and the big jihad is still awaiting us." — Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas is convinced that his "diplomatic jihad" against Israel is no less effective than Hamas's jihad of terrorism.
• Yet even if Abbas manages to achieve reconciliation with Hamas, this move should not be seen as sign of pragmatism on the part of the Islamist movement. Under no circumstances will Hamas relinquish its policy of the destruction of Israel and its replacement with an Islamist state.
• From Abbas's point of view, Hamas's terrorism will only increase the pressure on Israel to capitulate. Here Abbas has an ally in Hamas: to multiply jihads to force Israel to its knees.
"And we will not backtrack on the option of armed struggle until the liberation of all Palestine. Since its establishment, Hamas has been -- and will remain -- a Palestinian Islamic national and resistance movement whose goal is to liberate Palestine and confront the Israeli project. The liberation of the Gaza Strip is just the first step toward the liberation of Palestine -- all Palestine. There is no future for the Israeli entity on our homeland."
"We are moving forward with our resistance to achieve our national project... We are looking forward to liberating Palestine and cleansing the Al-Aqsa Mosque and protecting it from division and demolition. We also seek the return of the refugees to their homeland and the liberation of our prisoners from Israeli jails."

There is a lot of theory written about how to write a resume objective. However, sometimes the best way to teach ourselves how to write something is to see a sample. Because of this we prepared for you several samples in this article. Hopefully you can use it as an inspiration to prepare your own, perfect objective that will impress the employer.
One thing you should keep in mind before starting looking at the samples is this one: never just copy-paste one of the objectives you like the most into your resume. Everyone of us is different, and your objective in resume should really reflect your own wishes and desires, not something you have found on the web. So really, use it just as an inspiration.
We will go through various levels of career in this article, and present some ideas for each level. So doesn't matter how old you are or what experiences do you have, you should find here something for you. Then a different look at objectives in resume (associated with various job openings) are presented in separated articles. So, let's start with the fresh graduates!
Fresh graduates
"I would like to do the job where I can apply what I have learned in school, and use my passion, eagerness and willingness to learn to become better worker while contributing to a prosperity of my employer."
"My objective is to have a job where I can grow as a person, and help the company to grow at the same time. I strongly believe it can be your company."
"In my early career, I am looking for a job where I can collect as much experience and knowledge as possible, and develop my skills." I am ready to work hard and motivated to do my very best every day."
People with 3-10 years of experiences
"I am looking for a role where I can evolve and develop the experience I have gained so far, concretely (list of concrete experience), ir order to help both my employer and myself to grow."
"My objective is to find the role where I will be as beneficial for my employer as possible, and at the same time feel good, motivated and happy about my job. When looking on my experience and your job description, I have a strong feeling that this can be the role I am looking for, and I can be a person you are looking for."
People looking for a career change
"I am looking for a new career in my life. In the time I have grown to a responsible, dedicated worker, who can bring a lot to a perspective employer. But I miss the feeling of happiness in my current job. I really feel that I can contribute a lot of to your business, plus find myself happy in daily job finally working for you. This is my main objective right now."
"My objective is to take all the knowledge and experience I have gained so far from my industry to a new one, where I will feel good and where my knowledge can help the employer to see new things and move one step ahead."
Sample resume objectives of a person with a long working experience, 10 years plus
"To use an extensive combination of experience, tangible achievements and knowledge gained in my 15 years long career so far to help a new employer to grow and do as well as never before is my primary objective."
"Challenging job, motivational working environment and ability to grow. This is what I am looking for. As a good turn I offer 12 years of practical experience with (describe what you have experience with)". I really think that this position can be the one."
So here we go. If you want to see some more specialized objectives for specific positions, I recommend you to have a look at this article.

Kelly Bensimon Goes to Court for Alleged Assault of "Jilted Moron"Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Kelly Bensimon reported to a New York City courthouse today, as the Real Housewife starred in her very own personal drama.
She faces a misdemeanor assault charge after she allegedly attacked boyfriend Nick Stefanov (pictured).
"I'm really upset by the entire process," Bensimon told Extra after the hearing. "My beautiful girls and I are being exposed to a horrible situation. I just think it just unsettling... My girls don't need to be exposed to something like this. It's really inappropriate."
Bensimon's lawyer Ed Hayes, meanwhile, was definitely credited with the quote of the day.
Asked if he thinks the situation could be described as a lovers' quarrel, Hayes replied: "I don't even know if I qualify him as lover. How about a jilted moron?"

Community Farms ProgramThe Community Farms Program is at the forefront of encouraging alternative forms of land ownership to ensure our agricultural lands remain in production in perpetuity. We help landowners, farmers, and local communities develop and support community farm models in BC, conserve farmland, and build healthy, local food systems. We provide information and resources for community farm stakeholders through a web page, a network, roundtable and other meetings, and personal contact, and help farmers access affordable farmland. Download our Cooperative Community Farms Handout. Visit our Community Farms website.
What is a Community Farm?A community farm is a multi-functional farm where the land is held "in trust" for community rather than owned privately. A community group or co-operative governs the land use agreements, and agricultural uses of the land are shared by a community of farmers. The primary focus of a community farm is local food production using sustainable agricultural practices. Land holders, land managers, and farmers work together by mutual agreement. Farmers are housed on or near the land. People who want to farm sustainably on a small scale are investing in community farming. There are currently more than 20 farms in BC that have experience and knowledge in sustainable organic farming practices and cooperative living. With the Community Farms Program, we're helping create more farms like this in BC.
What is the Community Farms Program?We support people involved in farmland conservation and community farming by providing information, resources, and assistance. The Community Farms Program is a multi-phase initiative. Phases 1 and 2 develop and test program models and resources. In Phase 3, we'll establish a business model for ongoing program sustainability.
Community Farms Program GoalsThe goal of the Community Farms Program is to actively secure farmland for present and future food production. We do this by:
- Facilitating farmland securement for local food production
- Helping new farmers access affordable land
- Providing an information hub of farm-related governance models, best practices, management tools, and training
- Assisting a network of farmers, landowners, local communities, and resources to support community farm development in BC
Community Farms Program ActivitiesEvery activity is a building block in the development of the Community Farm program and the future services it can provide. As we speak with farmers, groups, and interested individuals, we learn and understand more about what is needed, and adjust the program systems and resources in response. We continue to:
- Facilitate formation of community groups (societies and cooperatives) that support farms and farmers
- Help groups develop capacity in their communities to support community farms and farmers
- Identify potential new farmers and survey their needs and assets
- Link farmers with mentors, training and land
- Provide informational resources, and maintain a CFP web site that houses community farm resources and links to partners and programs
- Support a Council of partners, stakeholders and farmers to guide and develop the Community Farms Program
- Research and explain existing government regulations on land ownership and farming businesses and how they affect the development and operations of community farms on agricultural land;
- Design and refine a "Whole Farm Planning process" to set conservation and sustainable agriculture objectives specifically for community farms;
- Work with community farms in various stages of development to test, evaluate, and revise the models, templates, and Whole Farm Planning process;
- Share project results with other BC communities to help support existing community farms, stimulate the formation of new community farms, and increase awareness and support for community farms among members of the public.
Why Community Farms?In BC, communities face many challenges to conserving farmland and developing a local, sustainable food supply:
- Ongoing development pressures threaten farmland;
- Average age of BC farmers is 57 years;
- Knowledge about farming is disappearing;
- Low incomes, hard work, and high risks discourage new farmers;
- Demand for local, organically-grown food is up, and exceeds supply;
- High cost of farmland is a barrier for new farmers.
- Support local food systems by supplying locally grown food;
- Protect farmland for long-term food production through land trusts, covenants, and other means;
- Give new farmers access to affordable land through long-term leases;
- Provide supportive and flexible labour pools.
Community Farms NetworkThe Community Farms Network shares best practices in sustainable organic agriculture and cooperative farming and living through a mutually supportive association of community farms in BC. Members can access this broad, inclusive network for ideas, information, and inspiration without any obligation to join the Community Farms Program and its more specific participation criteria. The Community Farms Network emerged from the first Roundtable gathering in February 2009 as an inclusive association that welcomes the participation of people and groups supporting community farms. Members of the Network benefit from:
- Information and resource sharing
- Face-to-face gatherings for celebration and sharing
- Mutual mentorship and inspiration
- Advocacy on zoning and housing policy and legislation
- Linking initiatives, costs, equity (a community farm union!)

Solved! Go to Solution.
Wireless password is stored in your Router. Some Routers have a way of auto assigning a password based on a PIN#
Cisco uses a USB flash drive "Key"
Cisco Valet M10 300Mbps 802.11n Wireless Router w/Easy USB Setup Key
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easy and secure wireless network set up and connections. NETGEAR's products use the name Push 'n' Connect for WPS. To use WPS, your product must support WPS and be compatible with WPA security. WPS can automatically set up a random network name (SSID) and strong WPA wireless security for wireless routers, access points, computers, adapters, Wi-Fi phones, and other consumer electronics devices.
WPS lets you use push buttons or PINS instead of entering a network name (SSID) and wireless security by hand.

I should be picked to see Joe for free because his playing has been a HUGE influence on me since I started playing myself 6 years go. Every time I see a show from such a big influence i get inspired to write music and the songs i write right after seeing a show are always my best. I would love to see what can come up after experiencing Joe's performance :)
This is a chance for you to be on Joe's personal guest list the night of December 1st when he plays Center Stage! Wait, it gets even better… Joe himself will pick our winner on Friday, November 19th at 12 p.m.!!!

Dear Joe,
You have been my absolute favorite guitarist since I started playing back when I was 12 years of age. I have learned a lot from you when it comes to making melodies that make the person feel it in their heart, make the guitar talk to the person in an instrumental form and the use of all seven diatonic modes in a theoretical sense along with other things. I am definitely going to be there December 1st whether or not you pick me. I have seen many of your concerts but would also love to go to one and get to meet you face to face so I can thank you for making me in to the player I am today and for making beautiful music that I can enjoy and learn from to further my playing. Hope to meet you brother!
Val Allen Wood
I NEVER win ANYTHING !!! And I usually have a gig to play! I am usually making the music. I will be off that night and I have been a fan of Joe's since Surfin with the Alien ! Chickenfoot too ! All I can say is I need to be a fan for a night and to see MY GUITAR HERO in person !!!
Sure, he influenced me. And, millions of others worldwide. That's unique. ;) I'm more concerned with his 'feel'. No amount of influence can give you 'feel'. You can only admire and attempt to tame that beast as he obviously has. Though, I would like to say that his was the first concert I ever went to, at Center Stage in Atlanta in 198…, blah, blah, blah. Surfing With the Alien if you need a hint.
Either way, I'm a big fan and truth be told, I would give my winning tickets away to an even bigger fan.
Hey Joe, no pun intended. I think I should be on your guest list because I am certain I would appreciate seeing you live more than anyone. I have only been able to see you live twice in the last twenty two years. I have been to school for guitar as well as taken hundreds of private lessons and you were the least expensive yet most valuable and influential teacher I ever had. Thank you so much for that. Honestly though, my wife said she's going to cut off the fingers on my fretting hand if I don't win these tickets!!! OK, she didn't say that, but she really could use well deserved night out. We haven't been out on a date since she gave birth to our daughter five months ago. Not to mention that the concert is the day after our anniversary, so it would be the perfect icing on our anniversary cake. Alright, I'm feeling pretty good about this. Big bad moon must be lookin' down on me tonight.
Your #1 Fan
Sorry, was that too creepy? ;)
As donkey would say to Shrek, "Oh pick me! Pick me!" Haha, seriously, I would LOVE to come out and see you jam on Saturday night. My husband and I are both long time fans and sadly we have never had the privelege of seeing you play live. My husband has been playing guitar since the 7th grade (although he's still not very good and plays too loud which only makes matters worse). He rushed out and bought each G3 DVD as soon as they became available as well as the Chickenfoot CD (our favorite song from this CD is "My Kinda Girl").
Joe, I am a 50 year old father of four who just loves great music and great musicians! Quite frankly I very seldom go to a concert because I just can't afford it. I have been listening to you play for quite a while and would absolutely love to see you in concert and to get a chance to meet you would be incredible! It's just that simple. I hope you will consider giving me that chance. Thank you! Daniel

I think the seven issues listed in the Report provide a reasonable starting point for scoping the WG: http://www.w3.org/2004/12/rules-ws/report/#issues One way to moving forward is to find out which issues are (how) important to whom, thereby adjusting the above list: Adding, removing, or modifying certain issues, and roughly prioritizing the list (keeping the limited resources of the WG in mind). In particular, Anthony Finkelstein's first paragraph would imply giving high priority to this listed issue (probably modified): 3.5. Tagged Co-Existing Rule Languages His second paragraph would imply to add constraints as a high-priority subclass of rules. -- Harold Dr. Harold Boley Adjunct Professor at UNB, Faculty of Computer Science Leader, Semantic Web Laboratory Institute for Information Technology - e-Business National Research Council of Canada 46 Dineen Drive Fredericton, NB, E3B 9W4 Phone: +1-506-444-0385 URL: http://www.cs.unb.ca/~boleyReceived on Saturday, 11 June 2005 22:13:56 UTC

I started with a Hozelok kit which included a range of drippers from single flow rate to adjustable types. It included a pressure regulator for tap connection. It even has a mini sprinkler on a spike which is a bit much for use on the greenhouse but would be more useful on a veg bed.
I also had a couple of Hozelok timers but they both failed after a few years. One was left out too long and froze so user error there but the other developed faulty switching on the solenoid valve. I tried opened up the broken one for spare parts and found out how cheaply made they were and gave up on them.
The Galcon stuff looks good but may be overkill for watering a few tomatoes in a small greenhouse. Had a look at the Antelco website too, lots of bits for making a custom setup but looks to be a business site rather than for retail sales.

Section 2.2 - Getting on the Ballot
This topic is monitored by Moritz Law Professor Edward B. Foley
Nader in Ohio Courts Update
Ralph Nader's inclusion on the Ohio presidential ballot in November now rests with the Ohio Supreme Court, Nader spokesman Kevin Zeese said on Monday. On that day a three judge panel from the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals refused to grant an injunction to block a lower federal court's ruling to keep Nader off of the ballot. The 6th Circuit ruled that it was unlikely that Nader would win such an appeal on the merits. The court also turned down his request for an expedited appeal.
Still pending in the Ohio Supreme Court is a similar challenge: whether the residency requirements of petition circulators is unconstitutional. This is a similar claim to that put before federal district court judge Edmund Sargus, a claim he failed to rule on citing many instances of "actual fraud."
In the Ohio Supreme Court Nader is arguing that the Ohio Revised Code statute that requires petition circulators to be Ohio residents flies in the face of what the United States Supreme Court has ruled in its Buckley v. American Constitutional Law Foundation opinion. Nader argued that because "of the clear need for professional assistance, the Supreme Court has found that candidates have a constitutional right to use hired circulators." Lower federal courts have followed that lead by striking down residency requirements for circulators of candidate petitions. The Attorney General's argument is that such residency requirements are required to prevent voter fraud and to insure that circulators are amenable to state process.

When I went to put the head on the block I discovered that the alignment pillars (unk terminology) don't go into the holes on the bottom side of the head. The casting number on the head is 60200. Can anyone identify this casting number and tell me what year and model engine this is for? It doesn't seem to be for mine, that's for sure!
Thanks in advance for the help!!!:confused:
the pillars are are alignment dowels.
are you sure your engine is original? what year was the head supposed to be for? there may be differences between the f135, f145 and f155s, so knowing which the head is for might help
Not quite sure, maybe this will help?
"Pre '68 F engines used siamesed exhaust ports and a deep "bathtub" style combustion chamber. They're pretty much on their own so far as interchanging anything.
From then until '72 the F engine used a flattop piston and a closed combustion chamber.
'73 and '74 F engines used an open combustion chamber and a very small dome on the piston."

Is Mike Rowe Gay?
Recently my partner and I had brunch at the Grand Luxe Cafe in the Beverly Center. Mike was dining with a former male model who is openly gay. His name is Jarried Gragg. I know him through his school. Anyway, they were having a eep conversation and at one point, Mike reached over and touched his face. They were there before we got there and still there when we left. They were having such a deep conversation that they did not notice anyone around them. Anyone else have any info on Mike?

This can actually be done much faster, if you're doing a CRC checksum (aka modulo over GF(2^n)). Basically, an error flipping bit n will always create the same xor between the computed CRC and the stored CRC. So you can just store a table- for all n, an error in bit n will create an xor of this value, sort the table in order of xor values, and then you can do a binary search on the table, and get exactly what bit was wrong. This is actually probably fairly safe- for an 8K page, there are only 65536 possible bit positions. Assuming a 32-bit CRC, that means that larger corrupts are much more likely to hit one of the other 4,294,901,760 (2^32 - 2^16) CRC values- 99.998% likely, in fact.

I really need help getting two Perfects. On Rhythm Rally 2, I can't handle those high speeds (even though I got a Perfect on Remix 8). On Moai Doo-Wop 2, the game says my shouts are inaccurate, and even if I do make it past the shouts, I still have to face nighttime. Can you help?
Games Guru: This is a really unforgiving game. You just have to keep trying on Rhythm Rally 2 and Moai Doo-Wop. It's hard, but keep trying.

Underground Railroad-inspired artwork that plays off African-American quilt-making –– and requiring an artist's fee of $300,000 –– is slated for Nashville's new 28th-31st Avenue Connector, the long-awaited road project bridging north and west Nashville together.
The Metro Nashville Arts Commission voted last week to hire Iowa-based artist David Dahlquist to oversee the first public art project for the new connector near Charlotte Pike and Centennial Park, awarding him a $300,000 contract. Construction on the new corridor began in May, with Metro officials eyeing an early 2013 opening. Installation of the public art project will follow the same timeframe.
"He was really inspired by the history of signal-making and quilt patterns, particularly during the Underground Railroad movement," said Jen Cole, director of the arts commission, alluding to the network of secret routes that led many African-Americans to northern freedom during the era of slavery.
"Quilts, particularly those made by African-Americans, were hung out by windows, and the quilt patterns themselves and the stitching were used as signals in communication to connect people along the Underground Railroad," she said.
Dahlquist's design is an abstraction of six different quilt patterns and stitching that will go along fencing on both sides of a street bridge crossing a CSX railroad line. For now, renderings are just conceptual. The art will be made of metal and painted to appear copper.
"Basically, the idea is for him to work within the existing bridge with alternating quilt and thread patterns along the bridge," she said.
Cole said the commission's choice of Dahlquist came after members whittled proposals down to four finalists. She said the commission asked artists to incorporate their proposals into the "complete-streets" concept that the new connector upholds.
"It was important for us that the art, rather than be free standing, be integrated into the streetscape," Cole said.
Additionally, artists were asked to consider the history of the area and "the role of connection" in bridging the neighborhoods together. A cultural impetus behind the 28th connector is to bridge North Nashville, predominantly African-American, with the West End area.
Dollars to pay for the 28th Avenue connector's public art come from the Percent for the Arts program, a law passed during Mayor Bill Purcell's tenure that channels 1 percent of all net proceeds of general obligation bonds issued for construction projects to public art.
So far, projects paid through the Percent for the Arts program are "Ghost Ballet" on the East Bank of the Cumberland River, "Citizen" at the downtown public square and, most recently, a set of bronze statues called "Exploration and Discovery," erected at the square.
In the months ahead, the arts commission is slated to hire an artist to work on projects at six transit shelters along the connector.
Please advise Jan Cole that Mr. Dahlquist's interest in the underground railroad is NOT based on historical FACTS. I certainly don't care what is artistically put on your walls in Nashville but please do not link it to quilts and the UGRR. The UGRR never used quilts or quilt blocks. The UGRR as it associates with quilts is not based on any historical facts.
Best wishes,
Sharron EVans
As a quilt historian, you cannot imagine the frustration that I feel when I read about, yet another, instance of a reputable organization accepting the fictional "quilt code" story as fact. I wish that the Metro Nashville Arts Commission, Ms. Cole, and Mr. Dahlquist would consult with quilt experts and UGRR authorities before they spend $300,000 on a fable perpetuated in a poorly(if at all)-researched novel. This public art project cannot be " inspired by the history of signal-making and quilt patterns", because there IS NO HISTORY!
I respect and would defer to your knowledge of Art. But art involves, to a great degree, perception and not, necessarily, fact. Why, then, would you not seek input from those whose expertise lies in the study of history?
Does Nashville really want to invest that sum of money in a MYTH?

Fable or not, at least an American is the artist. So much better than outsourcing to China and making Dr. King to look oriental as in the disgusting new King memorial on the Washington Mall.
An American is the responsible for doing this magnificent art work. All the pieces create an enviroment that reflect peace. It shows that everybody enjoy different activities in the same place and that is a great example about living together. We are different with different toughs, different way of interpret things but looking at this art and the Idea behind it express that it doesn't matter who we are we can shared a lot of things and be good neighbours. As FleFew post it is not another stranger that create the art work, it is one of us and we have to be proud of it.
God Bless Americans and their talents!!
Consider for a moment that a "thread" weaves throughout the entire project depicting, as the commission desired, the symbolism of connecting neighborhoods, people groups, and times in history. We are connected to the past through our history, and to the future by the choices we make today. This is art, and a great work of art at that.
To me, the quilts symbolize a non-offensive reminder of the Underground Railroad, and the peaceful way of life embraced by those with homes along the route & those helped to freedom in the North.
My opinion is that this is an excellent choice for the project installation. Great job, Metro Nashville Arts Commission!
I really loved it because I think that is very important to be connected as people with others
I would love to see this project become a reality. The design is contemporary with a historical illustration of significant value. Great art!
I think that even though there is diffrence of opinions between historians and scholars over the quilt code theory, and whether or not escaping slaves actually used codes concealed within quilt patterns to follow the escape routes of the Underground Railroad, it is known as a fact that most quilt patterns had their roots in the African traditions that slaves brought with them to North America when they were captured and forced to leave their homeland. The Africans' method of recording their history and stories was by committing it to memory and passing it on orally to following generations. Quilt patterns were passed down the same way. I see this project as a great way of celebrating the African folklore and herritage in this city. Moreover, projects like this, not only present contemporary solutions that transcend generations but also serve as an expression of art and inspiration. Art not only inspires people but also empowers cities and their economies attracting residents, visitors and investments. Very exited to see the completion of this project.
Art will always narrow down to art. The message that these designers were trying to bring was a positive but yet a powerful and beautiful way of expressing art. In my personal opinion, the design should stay as it is. The competition was won fare and square and giving priority to the people who won is the right way to go. If it is voted to not go with that design, then allow the firm that won the opportunity to make adjustments. That will be the fair way to treat this situation if you ask me.
We as Americans have been very open minded to Arts and innovation it has been part of our evolution , prosperity and also of our culture. The essence of been creative and to envision new things have enriched our culture and society . The design captured the idea of the art history of quilting but it also has a profound meaning that I am sure that comes out of an American young designer that has passion, devotion and strong working ethical to design such a project We as Americans should empower, motivate and promote our men and women of this country that give the best of them to enrich our culture and society.
I agree,
It is vital to support our own ideas, because it marks a time in history, and it offers the future generations the opportunity to learn from their past generation! Is that how "we"
As the new generation learned? If it wans't for their contribution, how "we" as a society would've learned to break through, obstacles, differences and even predict the future!
This art doesn't symbolize only estetics, it represents an important clue of our past and present, left behind for those in the future!
As regards the statement, "it is known as a fact that most quilt patterns had their roots in the African traditions that slaves brought with them to North America", I have been studying quilt history for many years and have never heard this theory mentioned once. As regards the use of quilts as signals on the Underground Railroad, quilt historians and historians of black history can find no persuasive arguments that this was done. Check out Giles Wright's rebuttal to the idea at http://historiccamdencounty.com/ccnews11_doc_01a.shtml . There are excellent books and other historical information about the black experience in Nashville. It is a shame that the artist took the easy way out and learned nothing about the real history of Nashville in order to develop his work.

From Technology Review, "Foursquare Gets a Big Check," by Jessica Leber
Continuing in this direction is giving Foursquare a lot more data about the places people visit than it would have as a standalone app. And the more data it has, the more valuable that data is because of the patterns it can reveal about how large groups of people move around and, importantly, where and when they like to spend their money. As I covered in an article today, wireless carriers are trying to build businesses as location data providers as well (see "How Wireless Carriers are Monetizing Your Movements").

Some 200 companies and practitioners have recently gathered at a European meeting to discuss how motorway and railway construction can contribute to biodiversity conservation. Organized by Eiffage, a large construction group, and the University of Paris 1, the workshop was hosted by the European Business and Biodiversity Campaign in Paris.
Case studies dealing, inter alia, with the challenges of bat flights crossing motorways, the effect of road and rail construction on the distribution of newts and the results of landscape restoration in southern France were presented. Legal aspects related to the construction business were reviewed.
"This was not a publicity exercise, or a corporate social responsibility event, but a meeting to exchange practical information, to learn from each other and to raise key biodiversity issues for the construction sector," said Valerie David, Group Director for Sustainable Development of the Eiffage Group.
One of the challenges for the industry in France is how to comply with European rules and regulations, an issue that was addressed in the first session of the meeting. Another key aspect is how to deal with the biodiversity impacts of development projects and avoid and mitigate the damage to the environment. The concept of habitat restoration was discussed, and examples were provided from several regions of France. Compensation for biodiversity impacts, offsets and how to determine the value of biodiversity were also tackled.
IUCN Regional Director for Europe, Hans Friederich, commented: "This was an interesting meeting with a very broad mix of participants, including several IUCN Members and biologists, as well as a large number of industry representatives who may be less convinced about the values of ecosystem services. The case studies that were presented illustrate that many companies are taking biodiversity issues more and more seriously".
The event was organized under the auspices of the European Business and Biodiversity Campaign, a partnership of several organisations including IUCN, managed by the Global Nature Fund and co-financed by the European Commission Life+ programme.

Yes, we're here in the lovely city of Nuremberg and Novell's OpenSUSE Conference has just kicked off. Much laughs were had during the keynote speech: laptops were booting up left, right and centre, and then... the Windows startup tones blurted out somewhere in the crowd. We didn't spot the offender, although perhaps it was some canny trolling.
We've just been talking to Andreas Jaeger, the OpenSUSE Program Manager, and later on we'll be chatting with Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier too. Plus we'll be checking out the talks, finding out about the future of KDE in OpenSUSE, and geeking it up good and proper - stay tuned for more.

I can relate to that. I was at Microsoft's Tech Ed conference in Queensland Australia recently and I booted up my Mint Linux Laptop. I'm a proud Linux user for many years, but I have to say I felt very self concious amongst hundreds of Microsoft users. The highlight for me was when one of the key note speakers laptop announced - "The time is Three O'clock", a standard time utility on Mac OSX, at which point he admitted using Apple Macbook Pro. :)

Volkswagen in India has been reaching out to the Indian car market with the best and world class products best suited for the Indian requirements. It brings many good features and exciting performance. We compare it to its sibling from Skoda. Skoda Rapid and VW Vento share the same platform but we'll compare them and tell you the differences between these two. Keep reading to find out more about them.
Looks and design:
Volkswagen needed a good C+ segment car to compete with its rivals and brought in the Vento and it is one of the striking cars from the segment and brings many good features. It has an understated design with neutral lines and looks low slung with a wide stance. It has stylish headlamps and front end design. The build quality on the Volkswagen Vento is top notch and the fit, finish and paint quality is excellent.
Skoda Rapid has good exterior features and courtesy the Vento from which it shares its platform but Skoda has done well to design the Rapid well and given it good looks. The front end resembles the Fabia hatchback in many ways. The large headlamps and fog lamps integrated into the bumper add to the looks of the car. It has 5 spoke alloys which look sporty and the build quality, fit and finish is top notch.
Looks overall – Volkswagen Vento – 8/10
Looks overall – Skoda Rapid – 8/10
Interiors – design, space and features:
Volkswagen wanted to give their Vento sedan good interior features and hence the dual tone elegant dashboard in a mix of beige and brownish grey looks very good.

Engine overall – Volkswagen Vento – 8/10
Engine overall – Skoda Rapid – 8/10
Suspension – Ride, comfort and handling:
Volkswagen has done a very good job with the suspension setup on their Vento sedan. It has a mature ride quality and comes with slightly stiffer suspension which ensures a stable ride quality and the car feels very planted at all times under varying road conditions. It has a steering unit which gives very good feedback and the Vento sedan also comes with ABS + EBD which helps you slow down quickly with full traction to the wheels.
Skoda Rapid brings very good handling quality and has excellent highway manners and brings a very stable ride quality. It has well tuned suspension and combined with the excellent steering unit which despite bring an electronic unit as opposed to a hydraulic unit offers good feedback. Skoda Rapid has excellent braking performance as well with perfect pedal modulation and ABS + EBD assistance to the driver.
Suspension overall – Volkswagen Vento – 8.5/10
Suspension overall – Skoda Rapid – 8.5/10
Value for money – sticker price, standard features:
Volkswagen Vento petrol has been priced (ex-showroom Delhi) from 6.99 lakhs for the entry level Vento Petrol Trendline, Vento Petrol Breeze has been priced at 7.84 lakhs while the top end Volkswagen Vento Petrol Highline has been priced at 8.23 lakhs while the automatic transmission version of Vento Petrol Highline AT is priced at 9.21 lakhs.

The diesel variant prices start from 8.15 lakhs for Skoda Rapid 1.6 TDI Active, Skoda Rapid 1.6 TDI Ambition is priced at 8.60 lakhs, Skoda Rapid 1.6 TDI Elegance is priced at 9.50 lakhs. The pricing makes it good value for money considering AT variant is available in two trim levels.
Value for money overall – Volkswagen Vento – 8.5/10
Value for money overall – Skoda Rapid – 8.5/10
Volkswagen has a solid product at hand and it made fine business sense to let Skoda use the Vento platform to build the Skoda Rapid. Skoda is part of VW so combined sales of both these two cars will add to the sales targets set by the company. VW Vento is a fantastic car with excellent features and the Skoda Rapid brings equally good features and performance at excellent pricing. Skoda needs to improve its after sales service backup. So which one of these two cars would you prefer to buy and why?Volkswagen Vento versus Skoda Rapid,

(For some reason, this was especially hard to write about. I have taken a much more informal tone, since it was the only way I could squeeze out my journal entry this week.)
Wow. These Volsung women are absolute pros when it comes to revenge. Let's start with Sigyn, shall we? Girlfriend is promised to a man she doesn't want to marry (thanks, dad). Because her dad is an arrogant jerk, he slights the new husband, ignores her warnings, and ends up crow-fodder for his efforts. Meanwhile, Sigyn is sitting back rolling her eyes at the massive "dick-measuring contest" going on around her and putting her plans for revenge into motion. Her vengeance is amazing in it's heartless indifference to every other person in the story. Bitch is a one woman juggernaut of death and destruction. She begins by throwing her brothers to the wolves- literally. She has them subjected prolonged torment and death, until only Sigmund is left. Then, in a display of extreme Viking bad-assery, dude bites the tongue out of a giant she-wolf's head and uses her death throes to free himself.
Now comes a display of physical stamina and patience unparallelled in history. Princess Sam Peckinpah decides to start having babies. Once these boys are old enough, she tests their mettle by sewing their sleeves to their wrists and ripping them off again. And I thought my mother was bad. She then sends them to live with their dear Uncle Siggy in the forest. When the boys fail the flour sack test, her reaction is to shrug and say, "Kill the little bastard, I'll make more". Eventually, she ends up impregnated by her own brother through an oddly convoluted "Freaky Friday" switch with a sorceress (which is a word we should bring back in to the common vernacular. I think I want to be known as Scarlett the Sorceress. Or maybe "The Scarlett Sorceress". Yeah, that rolls off the tongue well… but I digress). The end result of this unholy union, Sinfjotli, passes the tests and runs off with Uncle Siggy to be raised in the family tradition of murder, mayhem, and windpipe biting. Meanwhile, Sigyn is back at the ranch, popping out more royal crib lizards (just in case, ya know?) and waiting for Volsungageddon. When Siggy and Son show up to hand out ass-kickings and lollipops, her precious little darlings immediately run and narc them out to her husband. When Sigyn learns of this, her advice to her brother is to squash the little bugs and be done with them. He isn't up to the task, but their Stockholm Syndrome victim of a son had no problem making toddler kebabs out of them, like any inbred psychopath raised in a hole in the forest would. Things happen, people die, our heroes are bested and then freed by Sigyn the Human Wrecking Ball. The story culminates in Siggy and Son lighting the castle on fire with King Fuckmuppet and his Merry Band of Morons (because, seriously, he never questioned the fact that his first three sons just disappeared? Or that his wife was constantly in the corner twirling her mustache and cackling like a silent movie villain?) inside. Sigyn, having destroyed everything that ever came out of her vagina and most things in the general vicinity of it, decides that a world without anything to kill is no world for her, and jumps into the fire.
This story is a prime example of why I love the way women are portrayed in Norse mythology. Unlike so many women of yore, they aren't just motivated by petty jealousy or victims of the men around them. These women inherit a crapsack world where they are traded for goods and services like Monopoly money, but instead of whining about it, they sink the whole bloody ship. We get to see them fight for honor and revenge, they are fearless and sacrificing. No wonder women are viewed as duplicitous and untrustworthy. If you kick a dog enough that it bites you it becomes a bad dog. Is Sigyn a hero? Depends on how you look at it. On the one hand, she is forced into a marriage she doesn't want and her entire family is killed, so spends 30 years of her life plotting her vengeance with a single-mindedness that is awesome in it's tunnel vision. On the other hand, she is willing to annihilate everyone in her path to get to that goal, including her own offspring. I feel a certain amount of admiration for her dedication and cunning, but damn, bitch, you scary!

Villa Fighting Spurs For Man City Shot Stopper
The bastion of all things football, well, the Daily Star anyway (!) say that Aston Villa are set to solve their goalkeeping shortage by bidding £8m for Manchester City's 21-year old Joe Hart.
According to the report we'll have to go head to head, or would we go toe to toe, I guess both clubs would need to decide the technicalities, with Tottenham Hotspur who are looking to off load Paul Robinson who it seems has also lost his place as England's No1.
The Star say Spurs manager Juande Ramos would offer Paul Robinson and £4million in cold hard readies. O'Neill would go for a cash deal which should strengthen our bargaining power!
The report says Hart fits the bill for the Villa chief – he's young, English and widely rated as the country's best prospect. All the signs are that he could be available given the turmoil at City and the fact that he's holding out on a derisory new contract offer. Hart has been offered a new £10,000-a-week double-your-money deal, but that doesn't match his meteoric rise through the ranks.
He currently has two years left on his contract was bought from Shrewsbury for £600 000, a fee that has now increased by £500 000 after he was brought into the England set up by Fabio Capello.
To have forced his way under Sven to the Citeh No1 spot and to have been noticed already for the England set up bodes very well. Lets hope this link is more than just hot air!

Other do as well, but I'm not going to read through all documentation right now. (The 1979 processor handbook, page 329 shows it for the 11/70 anyway.)So they do! Wow, I've never run across that.You've probably not sat as much in front of a PDP-11/70 front panel as me... ;-)Probably not. ;) I run it whenever I can, but my only front-panel interaction with it is booting and demonstrating the toggling-in of simple programs to visitors...never any actual debugging.
Sometimes that debugging isn't that fun though. The worst one have been when the timing generator card have been off a little. Really messy on the 11/70, and that card is all analog stuff. (Ie. black magic in my eyes...)
Broken core memory have also been kindof interesting. :-)Machines are getting old, so occasionally, chips give up. (Although I stopped used core 20 years ago.)
But in general, it's really fun sitting on the front panel and program and single step code.

Cannes, France - Facebook and Twitter have ousted Myspace as the hot new
spaces for fans to connect with their favourite artists and acts, industry
insiders say.
They are also providing a major new way to publicise concerts and persuade
increasingly youthful fans to buy their music.
While 16-24 year-olds prefer to rip and burn CDs without paying for them,
twelve-to-fifteen year-olds are the digital natives of today and tomorrow,
influential market survey group Forrester's vice president of research Mark
Mulligan told the music industry's annual MIDEM get-together in Cannes.
Though a mere 15% of this young group download peer-to-peer music and
just 12% buy tracks, 56% listen to music on their mobiles and 53% watch videos on the Internet.
"Twelve-to-fifteen year olds, who represent the consumers of tomorrow
and have grown up with the Internet, want rich immersive music experiences in
which they can watch, listen and share," Mulligan told a conference here.
Social media is key
An increasing number of musicians have tuned in to this shift and are trying
a variety of creative approaches to reach out to their fans in order to boost
their popularity and their sales of music.
"Knowing how to use social media to connect with fans is key,"
Adrian Pope, director of digital and business development at PIAS Entertainment,
told a conference entitled "Marketing to
Fans - the new mix".
But fans want much more than just information about their favourite bands'
upcoming concerts and the release date of a new track or CD, said Jeremy Welt
of Warner Bros Records.
Canadian rock band Arcade Fire, for example, used Google maps to give fans
an interactive and immersive video experience to help sales of their last
Their Wilderness Downtown video
takes fans back to the street they grew up by allowing them to enter the
address on a website, which then sends them a personalised video clip that
includes images of their first home.
Imogen Heap
Grammy-winning singer and multi-instrumentalist, Imogen Heap, and lead
singer for the Chicago-based rock band OK Go, Damian Kulash, are two examples
of how artists are now connecting with their fans in a variety of ways.
Kulash said not being tied to a record label has helped him get in touch
directly with his fan base through blogs and Twitter. And this has helped fuel
his creativity, Kulash said at MIDEM.
Britain's Imogen Heap, who has been "tweeting" on micro blog site
Twitter for a number of years, regularly gets her fans involved in helping her
write new songs.
Fans also sent in around 1 000 video clips of nature recently to enable Heap to
make a short film that was projected during her Albert Hall concert in London
last year and also viewed by 482 000 people online.
But whilst social networks play an important role in helping artists build a
high profile with fans, it is still not clear whether this really boosts sales
of their music.
"We are trying to be social to get paid," Eric Garland, CEO of
media tracking and technology company BigChampagne, said at MIDEM.
"But there often is no correlation between an artist's popularity on
the Internet and their sales of music," Garland added.
Heap however revealed here that when she recently travelled to Jakarta in
Indonesia to give a concert, thousands turned up at the gig to her great
How had word got around about the concert? Because of her blogs and tweets,
she said.

Please Help Me If You Can
I've finally decided to take the steps to get the divorce finalized with my husband. I haven't really ahd the money but now I don't care and I"m willing to sacrifice getting Mcdonalds at lunch for a few weeks. LOL.
Now here is the thing. Awhile back he got with this girl that had two children and one on the way. I had no problem with that. Soon they were arguing all the time and having issues with eachother. I was starting to feel a little uncomfortable about her being around them. He moved in with her and her children. Thats fine too. Yes I admit I was a little jealous that he could just jump into whatever he wanted and got away with everything that he got away with and I was stuck at my parents house because I was struggling every week. He didn't pay child support and still doesn't.
Later they had some issues and he actually called the police on her because she threatened to come after me at work and his "girlfriend" in another town. She also threatened to go after his truck and smash it with a baseball bat... hmm.... There is a police report and everything on this now.
He broke up with her and he had my daughter from one woman to another. Always around different girls. I was getting aggitated. Then this last weekend he took her and I couldn't get ahold of him all day sunday and I am freaking out because I want to know where my daughter is. The night before when he picked her up he told me he had been laid off from his job and after thinking about it he looked pretty glassy eyes (pills). Sunday when I finally got ahold of him he told me that he stayed at yet another girls house and had his phone shut off so no one could bother him. That really bothered me. She is my daughter. I have a right to know what is going on. Then come to find out the next day his mom calls me and tells me that he is back with the girl that threatened to come after me at work... WHAT??? And he had been there all weekend and had lied to me about where she was. Also one of the girls I work with lives in the apartment complex that they now live in and my daughter darted out infront of her car and she almost hit her. And there were no adults around. Just two older kids.
Also he had written on his facebook how he was so messed up on alcohol and pills all weekend and how depressed he was and how he wanted his life to end (I printed all these out). I told his mom that until we went to court and I was forced to let him see her I wasn't going to. His mom agreed with me because he is mentally unstable.
If he gets to see her i want him to see her under supervision only, preferably at his moms house and him not be able to take her from that house. What can I do to make sure I get what I'm trying to get? I'm not doing this to be vindictive. If my child wasn't involved I could care less what he did for the rest of his life. But I'm scared for her safety. What can I do? Any advice that can help me out?
Hi Destiny,
I understand your situation, I have a somewhat similar situation. It is and can be frustrating at times, and you can feel lost and sometimes out of the loop. Have you considered looking for a legal aid attorny in your area? You can google legal aid(your state) and you will be able to local the legal aid office in your area. I plan to do the same thing. Also, as you are searching their site, view the Q&A topic. I recently learned that you can gain legal custody of your child. You may ask, what am I talking about. Well, although we had the children, we are not the legal guardian over our children. If you are able to contact a legal aid Rep. ask about gaining legal custody. This will protect your child, should anything happens to you. You will have the final say, as to what happens to your child. In other words the state can step in and take over your childs life. Please keep us posted. I hope this helps.
Ask about free online shipping or visit my website:
Depending on what state you live in there is a way that you can get full custody of your daughter and make him pay child support and have supervised visitation. The state I live in is a mother state. the only way the father can get custody is if he can prove that the mother is unstable.

her Facebook page, and people can see them there.
Nonja is 33 years old, which is 231 in dog years. Nonja used to paint pictures, but now she takes photographs. And the reason why she does this is that some people at the Samsung Company, which makes cameras, thought it would be good advertising if an orangutan was using one of their cameras. So they made this digital camera especially for Nonja, and it can't be broken as easily as a regular camera. Also it gives out a raisin whenever anyone takes a picture.
I wish I had a camera that would give out treats, because if I did, I would find a way to take lots of pictures, even though I don't have opposable thumbs, like orangutans do. But a camera for dogs should not have raisin treats because raisins are POISONOUS for dogs, at least if you eat a whole bunch of them, like a boxful or a cameraful. So the treats inside a camera for dogs should probably be freeze-dried liver or something like that.
Orangutans are some of the smartest primates, which is why they can be photographers. Also they sometimes make and use tools, which is another thing that shows how smart they are.
There are not a whole lot of orangutans left in the wild, and that means that orangutans are ENDANGERED. Of course, they are not as cute as humans, but they are interesting to look at, and they can do clever things, so I think it would be good to have them around for a while!
