I have phpmyadmin up and running fine. It says to run admin/jobs.sql against my database - what should I call the db and tables etc?
Can anyone please just give me direct instructions as to what to do? Thanks! Even give examples of what username and password to use etc.
Thats where I have the folder in jobs. Thanks!!!!!!
-use phpmyadmin or your mysql interface to run admin/jobs.sql against your database.
-open site.xml and edit the database section with your database details.
-go to admin/ and login with username of admin with a password of test.
-be sure to change the passwords for the admin and regular user.
Setup the site.xml file with your database settings as follows.
<database type="mysql">
<server>database server address</server>
<login>database login</login>
<password>database password</password>
<default>mysql database name</default>
Add this to your htaccess file to prevent viewing of the xml config file.

Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeball
Come together
Lennon & Mccartney
We have been working on the applications of random matrix theory to ecology for four years. By now, it is quite clear that the most important challenge ahead is to extend the theory to the case of structured networks (as described here). A new study we just published is a first step in this direction:
Stefano Allesina, Jacopo Grilli, György Barabás, Si Tang, Johnatan Aljadeff & Amos Maritan
Predicting the stability of large structured food webs
Nature Communications, 2015
In this work, we studied community matrices produced according to the cascade model, in which "big fish eat little fish". These matrices look like this:
where the red squares represent negative coefficients (effects of predators on prey), and the blue ones positive coefficients (effects of prey on predators). These matrices produce a peculiar spectrum, suggestive of an "eyeball":
In the paper, we derive simple, analytical results that allow us to approximate the spectrum (and hence the stability) of the eyeball.
I wrote an R package that performs the analysis described in the paper, and published it on github.
PS: Despite the quote from the Beatles above, all I could listen to while writing the paper was Pink Floyd. Maybe because I remember another eyeball I saw a long time ago…

AISoy1, The Next-Generation Furby?
A Spanish company called AISoy Robotics will begin selling an edutainment robot called AISoy 1 this August. Now, I know what you're thinking, but don't dismiss it just because it looks like a naked Furby. This thing runs Linux. And listen to Diego Garcia, one of its designers:
"It has basic needs, like nourishment and security, and other more advanced ones, like love, recognition, freedom and, above all, enjoying itself and getting along well. It's not just a collection of limited actions or programmed responses. It's dynamic, it has its own life and, at times, it's unpredictable. If you take two AISoy 1's and leave them in two different families, within two months they will be totally different because they will have had different experiences," said Garcia.
Look, I'm all for making educational robotic toys. But you can't go around claiming that your product "is almost a living being; it has the same activity as a living being, it has its own autonomy and conscience" (end quote) and expect people to take you seriously. The SONY AIBO which debuted more than a decade ago was in many ways much more complex than the AISoy 1, which can't even move. Well, it can tilt its head, blink, and look around (4 servos) but it's a stationary object. It will run for up to 4 hours on batteries, but you can plug it in as well.
To be fair, it does have a 1 MegaPixel camera with face recognition (remembers up to 4 individuals), it can read, and it can take on 14 different emotional states. You interact with it primarily by speaking to it, and it responds with speech synthesis (it has a vocabulary of around 2000 words). It has an ambient light, temperature, and touch sensors and will react to changes it senses. It can even connect to your twitter account and leave comments based on your voice memos. Additional functions such as games (riddles and trivia), and a date planner are included. You'll only be able to purchase one through the company website (no word on price) which promises downloadable, age-appropriate educational content for your child. Later they will release an SDK so that people can develop their own apps.
So maybe it's not just a next-generation Furby, but it's hard to get excited about it because at the end of the day I don't much like the design. It's really weird looking, and not in a good way. What I really want is a PaPeRo. Oh, and my personal favorite reason to give this to your child – it will help them "develop a sense of self-sufficiency". I bet. They're going to need it if left alone with one of these things as the babysitter.

An Ap_Id on a fabric-connected host port is a path to a multipathed device.
When a multipathed device has multiple Ap_Ids connected to it, the device is still available to the system after you unconfigure an Ap_Id. After you unconfigure the last Ap_Id, no additional paths remain and the device is unavailable to the system. Only devices on a fabric-connected host port can be unconfigured.

Like many disabled adults, Susan White has had a tough time finding affordable and accessible housing. White, 40, who has multiple sclerosis, relies on a cane or walker, and sometimes a wheelchair, to get around. She had to give up her third-floor condominium last year because she couldn't walk up the stairs anymore.
White also lost her job, which means she now lives on small monthly Social Security payments. She lives alone in the basement of a townhouse owned by her brother, though she'd rather have her own place. She's applied for an apartment at several low-cost buildings; one has a waiting list seven years long. "It's not easy to find a place," White said.

Bovespa's Advance Led by Gafisa as Homebuilders Rally on Inflation Outlook
The Bovespa stock index advanced the most in two weeks, following its first annual loss since 2008, as Gafisa SA (GFSA3) led a rally by homebuilders after economists cut their forecast for Brazil's inflation for a fifth-straight week.
Gafisa, Brazil's third-biggest homebuilder by revenue, was the best performer on the gauge, and the BM&FBovespa Real Estate Index (IMOBBV) jumped the most in two months. Plane builder Embraer SA (EMBR3) rose for a fourth day after the company and Sierra Nevada Corp. were awarded a $355 million contract to provide 20 A-29 Super Tucano aircraft to the U.S. Air Force.
The Bovespa rose 1.9 percent to 57,829.27 at the close of trading in Sao Paulo. Forty-seven stocks climbed on the gauge today, while 22 fell. The real weakened 0.2 percent to 1.8714 per U.S. dollar. Brazil's benchmark equity index fell 18 percent in 2011, the biggest drop since 2008, when it plunged 41 percent.
Consumer prices will increase 5.32 percent in Brazil this year, according to the median forecast in a Dec. 30 central bank survey of about 100 economists published today, from a forecast of 5.33 percent the previous week.
"I don't see major problems in the Brazilian economy, as the global slowdown will probably help to curb inflation," Alvaro Bandeira, a director at Ativa Corretora brokerage, said in a telephone interview from Rio de Janeiro. "The main source of uncertainty is still the international markets. A better performance for the Bovespa in 2012 will depend on what happens in Europe and in the U.S."
Growth Outlook
European stocks gained on their first trading day this year as a measure of German manufacturing beat estimates. U.S. markets were closed today for the New Year's holiday.
Economists covering Brazil also cut their forecast for 2011 economic growth to 2.87 percent, according to the central bank survey, from 2.90 percent the previous week. Latin America's largest economy will expand 3.3 percent this year, from a previous forecast of 3.40 percent, according to the survey.
Embraer rose 0.3 percent to 11.80 reais after earlier gaining as much as 2 percent. Gafisa surged 8.7 percent to 4.48 reais. The BM&FBovespa Real Estate index (IMOBBV) added 3.8 percent, the most since Oct. 6.
The Bovespa entered a bull market in October after gaining 22 percent from a two-year low on Aug. 8 as interest-rate cuts in Brazil and signs of progress in solving Europe's debt crisis buoyed demand for equities. The measure has since pared its advance to 17 percent.
The index trades at 10 times analysts' earnings estimates, in line with the ratio for MSCI Inc.'s measure of 21 developing nations' equities, weekly data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Traders moved 3.89 billion reais ($2.08 billion) in stocks in Sao Paulo today, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That compares with a daily average in 2011 of 6.51 billion reais through Dec. 27, according to data from the exchange.

Upon entering the building, the décor of the Turtle Anarchy Brewing Company actually looks pretty sparse. Concrete brick, picnic tables, and only a few pieces of art on the walls don't really create much of an atmosphere. After tasting the beer, however, you realize that the brewery doesn't need to rely on gimmicks or atmosphere to get you to come back.
Franklin's first brewery, Turtle Anarchy, literally wrote the rules on local brewing (Before they set up shop, the rules for brewing didn't even exist!). The brain child of TA President Mark Kamp, the brewery was an idea of his that had first started fermenting several years ago when Kamp and his brothers Andrew and David decided to start making homemade beer. It was during these early days of formation that Kamp decided to go into business. After a few years of careful planning and research on unique recipes, the dream of operating his own brewery came to realization for Mark on July 5 when the Kamp family tapped their first kegs and created some belated fireworks of their own.
Now, in a span of less than four months, the brewery's business is in full swing. The beers produced by Turtle Anarchy are currently in about twenty-five bars and restaurants, having expanded from the city of Franklin to the areas of Brentwood, Nashville, Murfreesboro (available at Mellow Mushroom) and Johnson City. As the popularity of the beer continues to surge, the brewery's staff is having trouble keeping the beer in stock, due to their word-of-mouth marketing being too successful.
Committed to the mission statement of the brewing company, TA staff is dedicated to "to brew flavorful, dynamic, and unique beers for craft beer drinkers." Completely removing what most consider cheap additives and artificial ingredients from their recipe, the craftsman at the brewery actually earn their title, creating a quality of product that could only be described as "artisan." This month, the Turtle Anarchy unveils its smoked scotch ale to the taproom lineup; it's anticipated to be such a popular item that it may be gone before Halloween. And if it's any indicator to their success, Turtle Anarchy could not be reached for comment outside of the brewery, mainly because they're too busy crafting great beer to keep up with the demand (Good luck getting your hands on their rye beer.). They were, however, kind enough to supply us with the descriptions of their beers. Check those out, then make the trip to Franklin to shell out a few bucks for a pint.
Flagship Beers:
Aurumglass: This beer is brewed in the golden ale style. It has a strong malt backbone with enough hops to balance it out. However, we use two ingredients that set this beer apart from other Golden Ales: Gambrinus Honey Malt and bitter orange peel. The honey malt adds a special sweetness to the beer while the orange peel compliments it with a citrus flavor and soft bitterness.
Another Way to Rye: This beer is a bold Rye India Pale Ale with an added spiciness from a healthy addition of rye malt. The rye also contributes a nice red hue to the beer. Despite being heavily hopped during the boil, we add a generous amount of hops during the end of fermentation to give this beer a pronounced citrus hop aroma and flavor.
Portly Stout: Portly Stout is our robust stout. It is brewed with three different dark malts and has a creamy, smooth mouth feel. We kept the hops to a minimum so that the roasted malt character could be the predominant aspect of the beer. It is just a solid, straight-up stout.
Current Rotators:
At Wits End: At Wits End is a traditional Belgian Witbier brewed with coriander and bitter orange peel. It is an unfiltered wheat ale, so it has a cloudy appearance. The combination of the wheat, hops, and spices creates a thirst quenching, quaffable beer.
Taproom Specialties:
Ninja Star Stout: Portly Stout infused with star anise—it's just that simple. The star anise adds the flavor and aroma of licorice to the already complex roast and caramel character of the stout.
Down with the Coconut: Perhaps not the most obvious choice when selecting ingredients to use in beer, but it is just so good once it hits your lips! We toast coconut in an oven until it slightly browns, and then steep it in the stout. Multiple samples are then taken to insure that the coconut has integrated itself into the beer. Once we are satisfied with the result, we remove the coconut and keg the beer.
Smoke & Mirrors: This beer was an interesting experiment. We took dried chipotle peppers and coarsely ground cinnamon and steeped them in the stout. The cinnamon flavor presents itself nicely on the front end while the smoky chipotle peppers become apparent during the finish. The heat from the peppers, a quality not commonly found in beers, adds another layer of complexity to the roast character of the stout.
Turtle Anarchy Brewing Co. will also be participating in the following events
Oct. 6: Southern Artisan Cheese Festival
Oct. 13: Brewsboro, Murfreesboro's local beer festival

After interrupting my Chicago write-ups to relate the magical tale of my El Bulli experience, we return to our Midwest eating adventure with the main course – Alinea. Currently ranked the top restaurant in the United States by Restaurant Magazine, Alinea had some high expectations to live up to. Did it? Yes and No.
In 'preparation' for our trip to Chicago, I read "Life, on the Line" by Alinea's Chef Grant Achatz and his business partner Nick Kokonas. A recommended read that grabs your interest, maintains it throughout and concomitantly creates great expectations about eating at Alinea.
With this history, I entered Alinea, ready to be awed. Well, the food and creativity of the dishes matched the hype, unfortunately the service and ambiance crashed and burned. It was a sweltering hot summer day and the room where we were seated was quite warm even though air conditioning is generally available in Chicago. Because men are required to wear a suit jacket, my friend was sweating throughout the entire meal. His jacket served as a portable sauna in Alinea.
You might ask – well, why didn't he just take it off? He would have loved to, but when he inquired about removing it, he was told that Alinea preferred he leave it on. They like hot customers apparently. A couple of the servers were actively condescending, leaving one with the feeling that we were a nuisance to them. Only one Alinea employee possessed the enthusiasm for food and attentive service we so enjoyed at Grant Achatz's Next Restaurant and The Aviary Cocktail Bar.
On a more positive note, there was the food. Good photos eluded me owing to the interior lighting, so I will paint a word picture of the visually delectable English Peas trifecta. A three level serving plate launched with a warm preparation of peas, transitioning to a room temperature meringue with a cold sorbet and apples as the finale. The variance in texture, flavor and temperature garnered it the award for most memorable dish and the one I continue to yearn for.
The artistic creativity of the food lingers in one's mind as a continuing reminder of the artist's touch. My first experience with scissors as a utensil, and cutting the greens for my own garden salad was novel, fun and exciting.
Later in the meal we used pasta (or rice paper) flags to create our own short rib ravioli.
One dish made our eyes and mouth dance a jig of joy as its richness and decadence generated visual and sensory fireworks. "Hot Potato, Cold Potato" was its name – just imagine pure deliciousness served with black truffle and butter.
The first iteration of Next Restaurant focused on Paris, 1906. While we didn't get to experience that menu, they served a course from the cookbook that inspired the menu at Next. A small piece of lamb with asparagus, potato (and a piece of gluten-free toast for me), certainly made early 20th century cuisine appealing.
We were transported to the turn of the century and it wasn't even midnight, though we were hardly dressed for the occasion. (Apologies to fans of Midnight in Paris)
The black truffle explosion, one of the most famous and long standing courses on the constantly changing menu, truly was a bite of remarkable flavor.
Wild mushrooms with pine, sumac and ramps – yes, please. But I was even more impressed with this course a week after eating it when I started processing the photos. Look at how similar it looks to our chocolate dessert course.
Our palate cleanser was a "Yuzu Snow Cone." We were warned to only use our spoon, as a brush against our tongue could result in something reminiscent of A Christmas Story. (though of course we had to try it…)
Our sweet courses started with a strawberry, jasmine, basil, balsamic, burrata, and almond marshmallow dessert. That was just for starters!
The second sweet course was the fanciest and most scrumptious jello ever to cross my lips. Lemongrass, dragonfruit, cilantro and cucumber were all suspended in a test tube like container adding to the sense of experiment .
The final course was the chocolate plate which included pickled blueberry, honey, peanuts and crème brulee! Ahh, sweet memories.
Chicago proved to be a city of culinary wonder and it certainly is on our list for future explorations.Tweet Pin It

Mayoral candidate Mike McGinn on Tuesday challenged rival Joe Mallahan for not supporting a street car line that voters approved last year to connect one of the city's most dense neighborhoods with Link light rail.
Mallahan was quoted last week in The Seattle Times as saying he would want to study the First Hill line and possibly oppose it. McGinn called a news conference with reporters at First Hill Park, saying Mallahan didn't understand the importance of better mass transit to First Hill.
"I think this shows a striking contrast in values between us. First on transit and neighborhoods that voted for it," said McGinn, a lawyer and former Sierra Club leader with years of activism on transit and transportation issues. "Secondly, when voters vote for something and fund it, as they have with the First Hill Street Car, we should build it. And Mr. Mallahan doesn't seemto think that's the case. But he also seems to think we should build a tunnel that 70 percent of Seattle voters oppose."
Last fall, voters approved Proposition 1, which included $120 million for a 2.2-mile street car line between First Hill, Capitol Hill, and the Link light rail station in the International District. The project was included because First Hill, with a concentration of three hospitals and two schools, was slated for a light rail stop on the original 1996 Sound Transit light rail plan, but didn't get it due to cost overruns.
Mallahan's campaign shrugged off the attack and accused McGinn of inconsistency and hypocrisy because he wants to thwart the $4.3 billion Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement tunnel project that took years for the state, City and King County to agree on.
While Mallahan, a T-Mobile executive, generally thinks street cars are not cost-effectiveness, he never intended to make the First Hill line a campaign issue, spokeswoman Charla Neuman said.
"We're not making a campaign issue one way or the other. (McGinn's) just playing games with it," she said. "Generally, Joe thinks street cars are an inefficient use of transportation dollars. The only way they are effective is if they have their own right of way and don't get struck in traffic. But if the City and Sound Transit work out an agreement before he were to get elected, we'll move forward with it. His position in general doesn't preclude anyone from moving forward with something that's already been approved."
Sound Transit will pay for construction of the street car, but the agency is negotiating with the City of Seattle over who will build it.
Last week's blurb in The Times reported that both candidates oppose a 2.5-mile street car line on First Avenue, which Mayor Nickels included in a list of street improvements with the planned Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement tunnel.
McGinn said Tuesday he's not absolutely opposed to a new downtown street car line. But, he said, he would want to study whether the money could better serve other neighborhoods with a street car line or other transit improvements.

The "Drop Bag" is a collection of news and events from the Off the Couch sporting world.
The name refers to the drop bags that competitors use to get their post-race necessities from the start line to the finish line of point-to-point races. That looks like a campaign contribution tucked under those dry socks.
Speed on the fourth: A year after battling in the WIAA state high school 1,600 meters final, Keegan Calmes and Joe Stilin outpaced the field in the Hales Corners Firecracker Four. Calmes took the win in an impressive 19:43, and Stilin was second in 20 minutes, on an overcast 4th of July.
Calmes graduated from Muskego in 2008 and is now running at Adams State College in Colorado. Stilin ran for Milwaukee Rufus King High School and finished his freshman year at Princeton this spring.
In their last high school duel, Calmes finished second in 4:16:74 and Stilin was fourth in 4:17:43. He followed up with a victory, though, in the 3,200 meters.
The results for the Firecracker Four are available here, along with this photo array from Bill Flaws.
National Dash: The National Dash in New Berlin drew a smaller field, and one without the top end talent that turned out in Hales Corners. Adam Mueller took the 5K victory in 16:22, followed by Marek Kotrly and Brian Jensen. Samantha Woller paced the women's field in 20:07, followed by Mary Flaws and Madeline Jenson. Click for results and photos.
Palin the runner: The money quote in the Runner's World interview with Sarah Palin: "Sweat is my sanity."
The interview was done before Palin announced she is resigning her post as Alaska governor and gives the 2008 vice presidential candidate some postive press amid the questions arising from her decision to duck out of her first term 18 months early.
That move would seem to contradict the endurance and toughness she talks about with Runner's World.
Also of note in the piece is her choice of music for her Ipod on runs: Van Halen, AC/DC and Amy Grant.
Analyzing the Twin Cities cyclists: The online MinnPost.com categorizes Twin Cities cyclists in a recent feature that would be applicable here in Milwaukee.
Bike sharing: Portland, Ore., widely considered one of the best bicycling cities in the country, is poised to take another shot at a bike sharing program. The previous attempt fell victim to the usual suspects; theft being the ringleader.

Z'roa symbolizes the traditional Passover sacrifice, a lamb that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and then eaten as part of the seder meal. On the modern seder plate, z'roa is represented by a roasted lamb shank bone.
Developing a z'roa cocktail was one of the biggest challenges in creating The Sipping Seder. Rather than focus on the symbolic bone, we turned our thoughts to the origin of the custom. We crafted a deep, crimson cocktail to remind us of the blood of the sacrificial lamb.
Our recipe is a variation on St. Charles punch, which originated in New Orleans and appeared in the 1862 edition of Jerry Thomas' famous bartending guide. Our version replaces brandy with bourbon, uses slightly less ruby port and adds a bit of maraschino liqueur to round things out.
As you sip the z'roa cocktail, think about the sacrifices others have made for you. How can you repay their kindness?
2 oz (60 ml) Basil Hayden's Bourbon
2 oz (60 ml) Ruby Port
1 tsp (5 ml) Gum Syrup
¼ oz (7 ml) Lemon Juice
¼ tsp (1.25 ml) Maraschino Liqueur
1) Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass. Shake well with ice.
2) Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled cocktail glass.
Please see notes on keeping kosher if that's important to you.

I have taken a break from posting about the YMCA issue. Since March 20th, I have watched the process evolve and seen the ugly side of big money politics first hand. On the 20th, I watched the Community Maritime Park Associates (the people who actually hold the master lease for the maritime park) debate the future of the ymca on the maritime park property. The CMPA was operating under a vague motion made and approved by 6 of the 9 city council members the week before. This motion approved a concept of a ymca on parcel 8 of the park property, but the discussions that followed the proposal of the motion provided unclear directions for the Community Maritime Park Associates board. In fact, the maker of the motion went so far as to say that the board could redline the entire document and start over.
Acting as our agents, in accordance with their master lease and subsequent amendments, the CMPA board made a motion to encourage the YMCA board to look at parcels 5 and 6. While the motion did not specifically exclude parcel 8, it was interpreted that way. Due to their actions, the CMPA board was vilified by our mayor who stated that their action was a direct slap in the face to the City Council. I couldn't disagree more. It was the mayor and CMPA chairman Collier Merrill who negotiated multiple versions of a lease without the CMPA board's or the city council's knowledge. In the words of our city attorney, the CMPA members never showed an interest in participating in the process. However, they were never asked.
I received an email from former city councilwoman Diane Mack on March 22nd. In this email, Mrs. Mack stated that it "became very clear that the present membership of that board [CMPA] contains a majority who lack the deep understanding and institutional knowledge that service on that board requires. I hope that situation is formally remedied without delay."
Apparently, she would like for us to remove those members of the board who don't agree with her position in favor of the ymca on parcel 8. Again, I couldn't disagree more. I have great respect for the members of the CMPA. They have been put into an unfortunate position of holding a lease over which they have little say. Can you imagine holding a lease and having someone else dictate to you that you had to have a certain party sublease a parcel. I can't. It simply doesn't make sense.
As a city councilman, it is my job to uphold my oath of office. In addition, I must be accountable to the citizens of this city (all of them). I have reached out to many in this situation, and they have reached out to me. Whether I am on the baseball field, in Sam's Club, in the park with my children or carrying yard debris to my curb, people have stopped me to tell me they appreciate my stand and support my efforts to keep the YMCA from building on parcel 8. There are many long time members of the YMCA who are looking beyond their own self-interest and who do not support this move because they realize that the YMCA can provide their services in just about any location. It does not have to be on the most valuable piece of waterfront property at the maritime park.
Representative democracy is based on the principle of elected people representing a group of people. I believe this election empowers us with certain rights and abilities, but it does not substitute for the will of the people. As a representative, I don't know better than my fellow citizens. In fact, I rely on citizens to provide me information so that I can make the best decision possible. Representative democracy can lead to corruption when people disregard the value of citizen input. I ran to give citizens a voice, not to have the citizens give me a voice. This is an important distinction that I hope my colleagues understand. I attend neighborhood associations to hear from citizens not to be heard.
In the case of the YMCA, I believe an expensive marketing campaign has forced many to believe this effort is widely supported. But my conversations with citizens tell me differently. I applaud the efforts of the CMPA and thank them for standing up in a difficult political climate. I encourage my fellow citizens to let their voices be heard on this matter. The city council will meet tomorrow at 3:15 pm at City Hall for the committee of the whole meeting. There is nothing on our agenda about the YMCA, but there may be an effort to bring the item back up for discussion. I hope you will be part of that discussion.

Fabric of Our Faith
- Artist: Sherry Lynn Clark
- Genre: Gospel
- Release Date: 5/9/2006
About Sherry Sherry has been involved in music for most of her life, having written her first song when she was three (OK, so Chocolate Milk is not a Top 100 song!) She remembers when she was fourteen and was playing her guitar in her bedroom, writing songs, when she suddenly knew she should be writing music for God. The thing is, this was before she was even a Christian! Fast forward 20 years, and she began doing just that: Writing music and singing in a band called Crimson Blue. Crimson Blue's main focus was outreach to the lost people in the prison system. After six years in ministry with Prisoners For Christ in Woodinville, WA, the members of Crimson Blue dissolved the band. It was through this ministry that Sherry met Pam Cramer in 2003 and their singing partnership began. They began their CD project in 2004, using mostly material they wrote and performed in prison ministry. Shortly after recording their vocals, Pam was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and went home to be with the Lord on April 22, 2006. Pam's beautiful voice and tender heart will be missed. Sherry's goal is to worship the Lord Jesus Christ through music, and using music as a powerful medium to bringing the Gospel to an unbelieving world. Sherry believes that God is at work in our world, bringing hope and salvation to countless men and women. Sherry earned a degree in music from Washington State University, where she studied oboe performance, voice, and flute. It was there where she met her husband, Kurt, who is a PK (Pastor's Kid) and through Kurt she rekindled her relationship with Jesus Christ in 1995. She lives in Bellevue, WA with Kurt and their sons David and Jack. Sherry's church home is in Bellevue, WA, where she serves on the worship team.

She's no apartment-stealing international fugitive grifter - she's just a real housewife of New York.
In a revealing interview from her $20 million apartment overlooking Central Park, Maira Nazarbayeva yesterday denied her multi-millionaire ex-husband's sensational allegations about her - including that she conned him out of their 4,000 square foot apartment and is wanted for a host of crimes by Interpol - and maintained that she and her ex, Bolat Nazarbayev, are still married.
"There's never been a day when I've had a fight with my husband," Maira, 50, said of Bolat, who's the brother of Kazakhstan president Nursultan Nazarbayev.
DIVORCE? WHAT DIVORCE? Maira Nazarbayeva says she's still married to Bolat Nazarbayev, who claims she stole this apartment.
Bolat Nazarbayev
"I consider myself married and in a good relationship with my husband. And I've never seen a document related to divorce. I've never signed anything nor have I received anything."
The exotic beauty also denied that Bolat was the one who's suing her and her son from a previous marriage, Daniyar, for over $20 million in damages. She said when she spoke to Bolat on the phone a few weeks ago, "he was in shock to learn about this lawsuit."
"He indicated that since he didn't sign anything and his signature is not on any court documents, that he was surprised to hear that this took place," she said, speaking through a translator.
Bolat's lawyer, John Snyder, declined comment, referring a reporter to his lawsuit - which tells a much different story than Maira. It says the pair were "purportedly" married on July 10, 2001 - sources said Bolat suspects she was using an alias and was married to somebody else when they got hitched - and they were divorced in September of 2009. He was also granted an annulment in September of last year, the lawsuit says.
It was a year before the split, in 2008, that Bolat tasked Maira and her son Daniyar with buying some Big Apple real estate. He says he gave them a power of attorney so they could buy an apartment in his name "without the need for Bolat personally to travel to the United States."
Instead, the suit says, Daniyar bought the apartment in stepdad Bolat and his mom's name - and his mom then turned around and sold it to Daniyar for a buck.
Maira insisted there was no funny business. She said she never used any aliases and was single when she and Bolat tied the knot, and the palatial apartment was always intended as a crash pad for their kids.
"It was purchased for the use of my children while they were studying in the United States. That was always the intent," she said.
"Only in the last year and a half was it used by me and youngest son," 10-year-old Khanbolat, she said.
She also took aim at the suit's claims that Daniyar, 24, was a high school dropout who'd scammed his way into Columbia. "The story is all made up," she said.
She said her dashing son is enlisted in the British military, and is still engaged to Nooryana Najwa, the daughter of the Malaysian prime minister. "They are very saddened by the news that is coming out in the press about all these unsubstantiated claims," she said.
As for the suit's contentions that she's wanted in Kazakhstan "for various crimes, including kidnapping, use of threats of physical harm to extract funds from a business associate, and using criminal threats to force another person to transfer real property to the name of a family associate," they're nonsense.
"I had lived and worked as a housewife during my relationship in Kazakhstan with my husband," she said. "There is no factual basis for this information."
While The Post has seen what appeared to be an official Interpol "wanted" notice for Maira, her spokesman, Ronn Torrossian, noted that she'd travelled abroad in recent weeks without incident, and planned to again in coming days. "She's never been accused of any crime until this," he said.
Maira's lawyer, Lubov Stark, said her client would challenge the allegations in court. "My client is a very private person and would lke to keep all of her legal matters private," she said.
HOUSE PK: Aku nak tanya Haramkah Daily dan Merapukini, macamana korang main sedut je berita tanpa mengetahui ianya betul atau tidak? Ni sekarang New York Post bagi eksklusif kat Maira untuk menjawab pertuduhan tersebut. Dan dalam cerita diatas (kalau korang faham bahasa omputih la, tak faham beli kamus dan translate ok) Maira kata dia masih isteri Bolat!
Wei haramkah 3.5 punya tandas dan Melacurkini anjing Anwar, kalau la benar Maira ni FUGITIVE atau sedang dicari polis, takkan la dia dapat interview eksklusif ni ha! Dah tentu polis Amarika dah tangkap dia punya. Apa cite ni beb?
Apabila Maira sendiri bagitau suami dia Bolat pasal benda ni, dia sendiri pun terkejut sebab Bolat kata dia tak pernah sign apa-apa dokumen untuk kenakan Maira! Adakah Anwar harami ni yang suruh New York Post mainkan cerita ni?
Semakin menarik beb, bermacam cara mereka buat nak malukan PM dan keluarga, namun mereka lupa ALLAH MAHA BESAR. Akhirnya tuan punya badan sendiri dahy jawab. So kepada Pakatan, bertobatlah dari menjaja FITNAH BANGSAT macam ni!

Chip Miller was known worldwide for his resilient positive attitude, his passion for Corvettes, his tremendous personal Corvette collection and for creating the grandest Corvette event anywhere on the planet – Corvettes at Carlisle. Chip and his close friend Bill Miller founded the incredibly successful automotive event production company, Carlisle Events, held at the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Pennsylvania.
In December 2003, Chip was diagnosed with a little-known disease called Amyloidosis. Sadly, due to complications from the Amyloidosis, the world lost an incredibly special human being on March 25, 2004. Had Chip and his doctors been aware of the symptoms of the disease when they first presented, this legend might still be with us today.

I usually scoff at fearmongering parenting articles, but this article on dangerous foods for kids in this week's New York Times is a must-read. If you're half-assed about cutting the grapes or the hot dogs up before feeding them to your preschooler, you should read it. If you think you can feed them whatever as long as you're "right there," and then they'll be safe, then you should read it.
You may be surprised, as I was, to read that popcorn is considered by many pediatricians and other experts to be the absolute worst of the no-nos. (We have a big bag in our pantry right now.) That's why these experts are pushing for the FDA to start labeling foods that are choking hazards as such. Think that's overkill? I might have also, but Dr. Gary Smith, the lead author of the pediatricians' policy statement, makes quite a point:
"You have a SuperBall that by government regulation has to carry warnings telling people it's a risk to young children and you can't market it to them, yet you can have the same identical shape and size gumball and there are no restrictions or requirements."
You gotta admit, that's idiotic, since the gumball is DESIGNED for your kid to put it in his mouth. I mean, that's its reason for existence. And if the popcorn had a "choking hazard" label on it, I probably wouldn't have it in my house. Or at least save it for when my youngest was already gone to bed.
Read the article- but here are the top ten foods considered most dangerous to children UNDER FIVE (not just babies):
- hot dogs
- peanuts
- raw carrots
- chicken with bones
- hard candy
- meat
- popcorn
- fish with bones
- sunflower seeds
- apples
I have routinely offered my two-year-old many of those things. Some of them, I never even considered hazardous.
Dr. Smith says these things shouldn't be given to kids under five at all:
- raw carrots
- marshmallows
- peanuts
- popcorn
- hard candy
- gumballs

Historical Theology
Full Product Description
Most historical theology texts follow Christian beliefs chronologically, discussing notable doctrinal developments for all areas of theology according to their historical appearance. And while this may be good history, it can make for confusing theology, with the classic theological loci scattered throughout various time periods, movements, and controversies. In Historical Theology, Gregg Allison offers students the opportunity to study the historical development of theology according to a topical-chronological arrangement, setting out the history of Christian doctrine one theological element at a time. Such an approach allows readers to concentrate on one tenet of Christianity and its formulation in the early church, through the Middle Ages, Reformation, and post-Reformation era, and into the modern period. The text includes a generous mix of primary source material as well, citing the words of Cyprian, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Barth, and others. Allison references the most accessible editions of these notable theologians' work so that readers can continue their study of historical theology through Christian history's most important contributors. Historical Theology is a superb resource for those familiar with Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology or interested in understanding the development of Christian theology.
Historical Theology by Gregg Allison was published by Zondervan in April 2011 and is our 62760th best seller. The ISBN for Historical Theology is 9780310230137.

The 25 Greatest Soundtracks of All Time
From 'Easy Rider' to 'A Hard Day's Night'
10. 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' (2000)
Credit for this proto-Mumford & Sons old-time-music revival salvo goes not just to the soundtrack-savvy Coen brothers (see also The Big Lebowski and Inside Llewyn Davis), but also T Bone Burnett: it's one of his greatest moments as an album producer. With lean accompaniment, Alison Krauss makes her most high-profile bid for title of Country Music's Sweetest Voice, alongside fellow contenders Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch. But the show-stealer is bluegrass pater familias Ralph Stanley, whose a cappella rendition of the spiritual "O Death" is downright bone-chilling.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — About three weeks from the Michigan Republican primary, a challenger aiming for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives received what he says in an important endorsement.
Without a gubernatorial or U.S. Senate race on the Aug. 5 ballot, voter turnout may be low. Campaigns are looking for ways to urge their supporters to show up, and grab the attention of and motivate undecided voters.
Republican Brian Ellis, who is running for the Third Congressional District seat against incumbent Rep. Justin Amash (R-Grand Rapids) in the primary, hopes a recent endorsement from former Congressman Pete Hoekstra will draw in voters.
"It means a lot to my campaign," Ellis said. "Pete is a conservative leader. Highly regarded, highly respected right here at home. And for him to step forward and support my campaign is a huge endorsement."
Hoekstra said he was taking sides in the inter-party battle because he believes Ellis will encourage action in Washington.
"I'm still a very close observer for what's going on in Washington, what's going on internationally and what's going on in West Michigan. What West Michigan needs is they need another conservative problem solver to work with the rest of the Michigan delegation, to work in Congress, to work toward solutions," Hoekstra said. "When you take a look at what's going on in the Middle East, when you take a look at what's going on with the economy, we need more than someone just to say no. We need someone who can get to yes and get this country moving in the right direction."
Amash downplayed the importance of Hoekstra's endorsement.
"I don't think it will have much of an impact," Amash told 24 Hour News 8 during a Monday evening phone interview. "People at home know that I'm about protecting the rights of ordinary Americans. And Brian Ellis and Peter Hoekstra during his time as Intelligence Committee Chairman have been about protecting the surveillance state. What happened during his tenure was the NSA Spying program. And Brian Ellis has endorsed that program and I'm against it, and that's what this really is all about."
Polling in the race has so far consistently shown Amash holding a double-digit lead over Ellis.
But Ellis said his campaign is gathering steam.
"We have more momentum everyday and Pete's endorsement today just adds to that momentum and I am confident it's going to carry me right over the finish line," Ellis said.
The Third Congressional District covers parts or all of Barry, Calhoun, Ionia, Kent and Montcalm counties. Businessman Bob Goodrich is the Democrat running for the seat.

shado. My God, man. That is one sweet collection. I feel a little weak just looking at the Tanks. Not to mention all the McGizmos.
I don't care about ho much money you've spent. Are you losing your house? No? Then well played, sir. Well played.
congrads, great collection.
i'd be afraid to guess what you'll spend this year, lol.
If I had this many lights, my wife would A) put me in the psych hospital or B) Call A&E and put me on Hoarders! C) Both
My grail light? Had to build it! Was never happy with production lights or the few customs I had when I was still working, especially when those customs had all the same or inferior electronics I could do myself for a fraction of the cost.
I'm compassionate by nature and if I had this kind of money, I wouldn't have it long. I'd probably be giving it away to others less fortunate that need it. (but deserve it!)
I think this collection shows just how much an addiction (any addiction) can drive you. That is way too many lights for you to use but yet, I bet you still don't have enough? The money is no issue- I'm sure nothing important was sacrificed for this collection, bills were paid, holidays were taken etc. Some people have more disposable money than others, so what? I'm very certain that there are high end earners with cocaine addictions to this amount, and what do they have to show for it? This would be a "one off" collection and is something unique- the finest of a particular art? More power to you, enjoy. For me, I get pleasure from buying modded flashlights by guys who tinker in their back sheds or garage, and turn a cheap 150 lumens light into a 1000 lumens monster that eats IMRs! Either way, we get our kicks.....

Very nice collection. I like the damascus one also. Do I see a stingray case?
I spent at least half that much but learned to practice "catch and release" and my wife is "OK" with that concept as the mail lady drops off new packages daily. Amazed to see some of my "old friends" in your collection. Guess we share similar taste for the finer things life has to offer! AWESOME collection Todd!
Karl H. Riedel III. Realtor and a WHOLE lot more!
Global Financial Crisis? What Global Financial Crisis? You're single handedly keeping the flashlight industry immune to the GFC LOL
Very impressive. Also, if that's your flashlight collection i'd like to see your battery collection
Wow Shado, awesome collection. I find It fascinating how different each collection is. Each with a different criteria in mind while looking. My collection is a good reflection of me (very random)
Looking at yours, you have fine tastes, and are all about the details and nuances
I'm glad I found CPF, I was beginning to think I was strange
I'm a Canadian and a proud Flashaholic
Thanks CPF, thanks Think2x
If I had done that my wife would have killed me .... Nice Collection .... Steven

Well, I do not feel so guilty for buying that SureFire M6 now!
Then again, I think we may not be in the same tax bracket :-)
I am still thinking hard and long for a 160 Dollar Production Ti light.
you are one hella of a collector. I collect knives, spend well over 10K on custom knives.
But 30K on lights is a league on its own. Wonderful collection!!!
I read through this whole thread and I had to comment, I really cannot believe all the negative comments. This collection is beautiful and yes its extreme but if youve done well enough financially in life to be able to do this then more power to ya dude. Lots of people blow this much on cocaine and hookers. And hell, more power to them too! Anybody who doesnt like it can take the life lessons thier mother gave them and .... Write it in their diary. But since nobody asked, I have got to know, what do you do for a career Shado?

Never point a flashlight at anything you don't intend to illuminate! Never buy a flashlight you have to make payments on.

Nice collection! Know what I call $30,000.00 spent on lights? A great start!!!!!!!!
Carrying a firearm for self-defense gives you great power. Society expects great responsibility from those with great power.
You could probably light a whole neighborbood with those lights.
To each his own, I guess. Nice collection, though .

It's a sickness we all have. What makes all of us talk about lights and read about lights sometimes on a nightly basis??? I bought a light last might and here I am on the forum again, I don't even know what I'm looking for. I really have to find another hobby as this has become a little obsessive! Anybody in my boat? Lol
My torches: olight sr51, zebralight sc600, fenix tk15, fenix ld10, fenix ld01, fenix e01, led lenser p17,Led lenser p5, led lenser h7, maglite 6d (led conversion) and still waiting for my HDS!
So how many more have you collected in the last year since you posted the pics?
Now I don't feel nearly as guilty about buying all those lights in the last year.
You should start collecting dslr cameras and lenses. Your lights may serve as studio lights . You got beamshots of those 007's? I'm curious how they look.

Wow, incredible collection. You have a very understanding wife
Would love to see your knife collection someday.
You know what could be worst? ...not having $30,000 to spend on your lights
Everyone have different priorities and needs, but I wouldn't worry one bit about spending $30,000, I will worry about how quickly I can to make my $3M!

The last couple of posts on this blog I've written around the 'theme' of injury prevention and pain reduction. These are areas a lot of you have requested more info about – and I'm doing my best to help you with them. I have a top-secret project in the works that's going to cover these topics in detail – and I'll have more info about it for you very soon. But in the meantime, here's a new post about how to prevent – even eliminate – lower back pain by strengthening your core. Enjoy!
The spine is the basic foundation on which the geometry of the body lies; the alignment and proper working of the spine is of great concern for perfect health.
Spine problems are amongst the most severe problems of the human body, especially when the lower part gets affected. A survey predicts that eighty percent of people become victim of this pain at some point in their lives.
The good news is that strengthening that strengthening the core can help aleviate back pain to a great extent –
To strengthen the core, proper exercise selection is mandatory. Many people perform a variety of different exercises (crunches and sit ups come to mind? 🙂 ) but achieve no result for core strength against the lower back pain. This is largely because of 1) bad exercise selection and 2) improper posture that they maintain while performing those exercises.
Proper posture and exercise technique is essential for strengthening the core – as is choosing the right exercises. Exercises such as the Supine Bridge and the Plank are great starting points for strengthening the core –
The Supine Bridge
This exercise starts lying on the floor. Keeping the knees over the toes and weight through the heels, brace the abs and drive the hips towards the celing. The move strengthens the all-important glutes – a key part of a strong core and healthy lower back.
The Plank is a great exercise because it focuses on strengthing the core through a 'functional' range of motion. When you are, for example, attempting to pick up a heavy load off the floor, your abs fire – but you're not doing a crunch or sit up motion, which is what most folks think of and end up doing for building core strength. In this lifting movement – as well as a huge range of other every day activities – you're using your abs like you would in a Plank. So that's why we want to train them this way.
Lay flat and lift the hips along with the stomach and chest off of the floor – you'll end up in a Push Up – type body position, but you'll be resting on your forarms. Remember, your abs should be braced like you're bracing for a punch in the stomach, your upper and lower body should be 'tight', and you should be able to breathe normally at the same time.
In summary, proper exercising with correct posture is essential in strengthening the core and preventing lower back pain. The Supine Bridge and the Plank are two great exercises to get started with in working towards these goals.
Thanks for reading and talk to you soon –

The Wedding Plan (2016)
Director/Screenwriter: Rama Burshtein
By Marilyn Ferdinand
The Wedding Plan is a slippery film to write about. It seems to want desperately to be a screwball comedy in the Julia Roberts mold—mostly fun, occasionally wistful, with a life lesson or two floated on the way to a happy ending. Yet, that's not what we get. Instead of a mild diversion, director/screenwriter Rama Burshtein and her lead actress, Noa Koler, reveal the horrible pain of loneliness that drives so many people—especially women trying to fulfill society's role for them—to marry at any cost.
In an absurdly comic opening scene, Michal (Koler), a Breslov Hasidic Jew who owns and operates a mobile petting zoo, is shown in the waiting room of a psychic (Odelia Moreh-Matalon) she is consulting about her inability to find a mate. The psychic's son, Shimi (Amos Tamam), moves awkwardly through the waiting room with a box of fish for his mother. When Michal enters the consultation room, the psychic places a fish between them and smears Michal's face with its slime as she gets Michal to face her fears and find hope for the future. She tells Michal to ask Shimi, who owns and operates a banquet hall, to give her a discount on her sure-to-be wedding.
Sure enough, the next scene shows Michal and her intended, Gidi (Erez Drigues), choosing food for their wedding reception at Shimi's establishment. But all does not go as planned. Michal, feeling Gidi has been growing distant at the approach of their wedding day, insists that he tell her what's wrong. He surprises her by telling her he doesn't love her. Michal is devastated. In a crazy scheme to lift herself out of despair and get the happy ending she was anticipating, Michal decides to proceed with the wedding plan anyway, trusting that putting God and a couple of matchmakers on the case will result in a groom to marry her on the last day of Hanukkah, a holiday that commemorates another minor miracle.
If this had been an American film, we might have seen a rapid-fire series of dates with an assortment of weirdos, with poor Michal screwed up in wide-eyed bewilderment. Burshtein, however, isn't interested in getting a lot of cheap laughs and gives Michal's match-made dates room to breathe. True, one of Michal's dates is with a man (Udi Persi) who proposes to her on two hours' acquaintance, but refuses to look at her because he wants to fall in love at first sight. When Michal agrees to marry him but only if he looks her in the eye, he accuses her of trying to trick him and storms off. The next date is with a deaf man (Jonathan Rozen) who communicates through an interpreter. He seems great—intelligent, warm, funny—but when he asks her why she agreed to go out with him after turning down an earlier introduction the matchmaker had arranged, she tells the truth: "Despair." The interpreter does not voice-translate her date's angry signs.
While Burshtein packs in some strange and funny scenes—a mother repeatedly fending off Michal's attempts to let a girl at a birthday party pet a harmless snake is the most deadpan—the film is largely a painful experience. Koler brings extreme honesty, bullheadedness, and impulsivity to her portrayal of Michal, giving us a portrait of a difficult person to like. Tempering these characteristics are the raw emotions of Michal's sadness, fear of being alone, and recognition of the loneliness in others. I recognize the panic in her eyes, the whistling in the dark of her certainty about the success of her plan, the fear of being played by one man who proposes to her. Her line deliveries offer a master class in how to portray a flawed, complex character who can be sincere, insane, and calculating all at one time. Below is a clip that very obviously signals a plot point with the coordinated costuming of Michal and pop star Yos (Oz Zehavi). The pair have met-cute in the shrine of the founder of her sect, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. Yos has asked her for her name through the wall that separates the men from the women after being touched by her piteous lament that she cannot feel God's presence. They meet face to face outside of the shrine.
The Wedding Plan is a problematic film. It's hard for any feminist to endorse a film that spends its entire running time focusing on women desperate to get married. Michal's confident assertions that God will provide reminded me of when I was 6 years old and so convinced that I would win a horse offered in a contest that my mother actually got nervous; it's childish magic thinking that is slightly offensive, even if understandable. Similarly, Michal's roommate, Feggie (Ronny Merhavi), a pretty, but overweight woman, believes fervently in Michal's plan because it gives her hope that one day she will find a man. The film is also problematic from a spiritual perspective, which the film acknowledges. At one point, a rabbi tries to dissuade Michal from her quest, fearing that should a groom not materialize, Michal's faith will be shaken. Indeed, in a cheat that suggests that her prayers have been answered, Yos asks for her address in Jerusalem because he doesn't want to lose her.
It's strange that in a film about a woman who says she can't find a husband, she actually gets four proposals; indeed, the film foreshadows her coming romantic intrigues in the opening scene. I really enjoyed the interrelationships of Michal and her community of women, all gamely cheering her on through her wedding preparations and sitting with her wondering if her prince really will come. While many women will not empathize with Michal's plan, she is being true to herself and truthful with others to the extent that her positive thinking can allow. We get a tiny peek into Hasidic life, and though the sitcom cliches might have been abrasive, honest acting by a great ensemble led by Noa Koler redeems the film.

"Nature, I Reclaim You"
Nature. I reclaim you.
I reclaim your sweet smelling grasses, your sappy stalks.
I reclaim your golden, radiant warmth, and cool, refreshing breath.
I reclaim the musky scent of earth beneath my feet, the balm of your salty oceans.
I reclaim it all, all your majesty, majesty I have quaked from in fear of one life-altering parasite, the one that stole my health without so much as a thank you, and left me bereft in the dark.
Too long have I let fear keep me from your life-giving beauty.
Too long have I denied myself the restorative serenity of your face.
Today, I reclaim this right.
I will be incarcerated no more.
I will feel your life on my face.
I will let your breezes fan my skin.
I will imbibe the ancient and breathtaking beauty that is you.
Nature. I reclaim you.
…..Bug spray. You'll come too.

Sony settles with Jerry Lambert, still after Bridgestone
Posted on January 17, 2013 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii
A strange situation developed late last year between Sony and the well-known PlayStation "character" Kevin Butler. Butler, played by Jerry Lambert, was spotted in a Bridgestone Tires commercial with a Wii. The ad was eventually pulled and it was later discovered that Sony was suing the tire company as well as Lambert's own company.
Sony is still in a legal battle with Bridgestone, but has since settled out of court with Lambert.
Lambert will not appear in any video game ad over the next two years. Once the period has passed, he can lend his talent to any commercial he chooses so long as the Kevin Butler character is not portrayed. Sony also gained the right to look over any video game-related ads Lambert partakes in to ensure that its Kevin Butler property is not involved.
Regarding the original Bridgestone commercial, Lambert did acknowledge that the ad may have led to consumer confusion since he was seen with a Wii.

Moscow's Sparrow Hills Feb 12, 2017
Sparrow Hills (Russian: Vorobyovy Gory) is a hill on the right bank of the Moskva River.
My group and I visit this hill on our first organized tour trough city. This is one of highest points in Moscow, reaching a height of 220 m (720 ft), or 60–70 m (200–230 ft) above the river level. This hill was formerly known as Lenin Hills (Russian: Leninskiye Gory) between 1935 and 1991.
This place is fantastic to visit. It offer great view on the city and university building. There is also small market and high observation platform.

Panoramic view of Moscow Sep 23, 2011
Well, this was another disappointment. Just a nice view, nothing spectacular as some people said to us. I guess it's better not to have any expectations when traveling, huh? On a positive side, a lot of people were running and rollerblading by the river.
While we were disappointed, it was still fun, because it took us an hour to climb up and finally find that place from where you can see the city. We went up & down a couple of times & we got lost in the woods! It was our fault of course, but people who gave us (wrong!) directions didn't help either.
I reccommend you to take a closer look at MGU, the largest university in Moscow, which is also one of seven Stalin's buildings. It looks mighty and it's very close.
Another thing was the chairlift, which takes you down close to the metro station, but we couldn't get over our fear of heights! However, I advise you to take it, the view must be great and it's just a couple of minutes.

Top view on Moscow Jul 01, 2011
To go in the evening/night time:
- Moscow lights from the top;
- many streetraces and bikers;
- not so many tourists and many young people;
- romantic
To go in the day time:
- you'll ve able to see a lot of russian wedding couples;
- it's good for children (ice-cream and other sweets sellers);
- many tourists;
- the view is doubtful

Good effort WS.
How about something a bit fancy, maybe a velvet?! A nice rich burgundy perhaps?
Btw, is $80 inclusive of the materials, or just the labour?
About a month ago I asked for a good waistcoat for around £50 and most of the replies said that I could not get a good waistcoat for that price. Well, I went to my tailor and they told me they could make one for $80, also known as £50, so that is what I am doing. I know I am getting it double breasted, but what are your recommendations for colour, fabric, and pattern? Also, should I get it with a lapel, if so shawl or peak?
Good effort WS.
How about something a bit fancy, maybe a velvet?! A nice rich burgundy perhaps?
Btw, is $80 inclusive of the materials, or just the labour?
Just the labour, it will be over 100 when I am done, but still affordable, especially if I don't get a silk back.
Velvet sounds fun, but I am guess I am looking for a backbone piece that will help me go more wild in the accessories.
$100 though yeah, as opposed to £s? Still a great price for something bespoke.
Can't go wrong with grey or brown tweed....
So the response you were originally given was correct? it will cost you more than £50
The thing with getting one in a typical suit fabric will be that it won't look good with any suits, unless it matches. I'd definitely go for a contrast in either colour or texture when teaming a mis-matched waistcoat with a suit
Perhaps a black or brown velvet would be more versatile? It depends on what colour the majority of things you will wear it with are...
Maybe camel corduroy?
Defiantly getting a front pocket, got to throw the pocket swag somewhere. I was thinking grey/black herringbone, but you guys have made me think that might be boring. I could go the direction of those sick waistcoats from Gangs Of New York, if you know what I am talking about.
It is dangerous territory, though. If I am not careful I could end up with this:
It depends man. Is this your only / first waistcoat? If so, something simpler (like the herringbone) would be a good call - a transferable item you could use to anchor lots of looks. But if you've already got a few plainer ones, then go for something a bit flashy!
And to answer your original question - I've not seen lapels on waistcoats before....not sure how it would look...

Pete the Cat Button Activities
This month's Virtual Book Club for Kids is featuring three Pete the Cat books by Eric Litwin. We did some math and science activities to go along with Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons. Practice sorting, counting, and subtraction using buttons. Affiliate links are included in this post. Thanks for supporting Inspiration Laboratories.
Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons by Eric Litwin
In Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons, Pete loses buttons off of his favorite shirt. But does Pete cry? Goodness no. He just keeps on singing. This book has a fun sing-song rhyme typical of the other Pete the Cat stories by Eric Litwin. You can download the song from the Harper Collins website and have fun singing along.
Button Sorting and Classification
Sorting and classification is an important science and math skill. {Read more about classification for toddlers and preschoolers.}
I asked Aiden what differences he saw in the buttons we had. He first mentioned the shape of the button – flowers vs. circles.
He sorted the buttons into two piles. Then, we looked at the differences within the piles. He separated the circles into dots and stripes and then by color. He separated the flower buttons by color.
The activity is a great way to introduce classification at any age {even high school kids can benefit from the example}. Scientists classify organisms by separating them into groups based on certain characteristics – just like we did with the buttons. The ultimate goal of scientific classification is to separate organisms into different species. Each of our end groups of buttons could represent a species.
Button Counting and Subtraction
I printed out a yellow shirt with a square below it. I placed the paper in a plastic sheet protector {you could also laminate it}. There are several ways to practice counting with this sheet.
- Write a number in the square and have your child count out that many buttons.
- Have your child roll a pair of dice. Write the number in the square and then count out that number of buttons.
- Write numbers on squares of paper. Have your child choose a number and then count out that many buttons.
I also printed out a yellow shirt with an empty subtraction problem below it. You can fill in the first two squares like I suggest above. Then, use buttons to help complete the subtraction problem.
You are welcome to download the Button Math printables for your own personal or classroom use.

Enrico Noseda, Head of Market Development for the EMEA region at Skype said: "We see Skype Prepaid Cards as yet another option for users to get more out of the Skype experience, either as a way to add Skype Credit to their account or as a perfect gift for friends and family to allow them to keep in touch more easily.
"The Skype Credit can be used in whichever way and on whichever device best suits the user, making it as easy as possible to be together whenever we are apart."
