My work usually begins as a dialogue with something that already exists: pages taken from old books, stained papers from other eras; or, in the case of my sculptures, found objects. I find blank white paper to be quite blank; I prefer to have something to respond to. My work often has a deliberate tension between and considered abstract elements and personal, or conflicting psychological elements. In addition, I enjoy playing with pedagogical formats, instructions, tools, charts and diagrams, where the object or image's implied function is immediately subverted by the context of its presentation.
Sarah Stengle makes sculptures, works on paper and artists' books. Her works on paper often include images, or pages taken from old encyclopedias or engineering books arranged in orderly compositions. Recently she has turned to working with watercolor and pencil directly over found imagery, text or book pages. She has recently published a definitive manual on producing art historically correct Coffee Rings, and is currently producing Useless Tools, a series of sculptural objects purporting to be apotropaic hand tools, along with a corresponding artist's book which addresses their proper use in depth. She is part of the Glass Book Project, founded by Nick Kline of Rutgers University and Helga Luest of Witness Justice, in Washington DC. The project address difficult subjects, such as self inflicted injury or the aftermath of domestic violence through the medium of glass books. She is teaching Glass Books at Rutgers Newark, NJ campus.
Ms. Stengle lives in Princeton, New Jersey and maintains a studio nearby in Trenton. She studied metal-smithing at Carnegie-Mellon University, and got her MFA in at the School of visual arts in 1988 in sculpture. She has exhibited regularly and her work is included in the collections of the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Pierpont Morgan Library among others.

Celebrating My Son's First Birthday
I have a secret to tell you. I've been planning my son's first birthday party since he was just a few months old. Why? It's one of the biggest celebrations a family can have. It's the culmination of a year of hard work as a parent, and a moment to step back and reflect on all the growing your child has done.
I'm thinking of doing a circus theme for his party. There are so many options for décor, decorations and favors but what I'm really excited about is the cake. Nothing is better htan watching a little guy dig in to his first piece. It's messy but so worth it.
I envision the cake as a three tiered round chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream frosting. I will also decorate the outside of the cake with circus cookies (you know, the pink and white frosted sprinkled cookies that you loved as a kid?). I love cakes homemade cakes. There's something about putting the love and time into it that you can't get from store brought stuff.
Moms, what was the theme of your child's last birthday party?
mmmm......the last time we had a themed party, I really can't remember what it was. I've had plenty of themed parties, though: carousel, princess, army, video game, swimming, soccer, Transformers, fire truck, diva, butterflies, baseball, Barbie, and sooooo many more that I can't remember! With 5 kids, the youngest now 14, there have been PLENTY of parties!
Its really my life's most memorable party I'd arranged on my daughter's first birthday. I went with a FAIRY theme and cake was also of starwberry flavour with lots of faries, all guest were dressed according o theme. It was full of fun...!!!!
Was this post ever meant for me!!! :)
My youngest sons First birthday is next month. It's a Superhero theme. We have a make your own cape/mask and a photo backdrop! I will post pics of the cake I am making and his first birthday candle I made. :)
Seems like a lot.... But our parties aren't traditional.... In lieu of gifts, we do donations to our local food pantry.
That sounds like fun!!!

Probate Properties
What is a Probate?
Probate is the legal process of proving the written will or last testament of a deceased person is genuine and then following the deceased's wishes in that document.
When assets of the deceased, such as a house, stocks and bonds, a car, bank accounts, and other personal property, are probated, the local probate court procedure gives creditors several months to file their unpaid claims against the deceased's estate. The unpaid bills will be paid once the property is sold.
Investing in Probate Properties
Investing in probate properties takes a lot of time and patience. Some probates can be completed within 6 months, while others take years.
The amount of time to complete the probate depends on a number of factors, such as the size of the estate, validation of the will, the appointing of an executor if there's no will, and finding and notifying all beneficiaries.
How to find Probate Properties
Probate properties are often difficult to find. When looking for a probate property, the first person you should talk to is your real estate agent. Let your real estate agent know how much you want to spend and the types of properties you are looking for. Single resident homes, and multi-unit dwellings are just two of the many types of probate properties.
When looking for probate properties, you might want to check your local newspaper for obituary notices. Make a list of the recently deceased and check with local property ownership records to learn if the deceased owned local real estate. This task is often tedious and may be unfruitful. It is best to let your real estate agent find probate properties for you.
Wills in probate are a matter of public record. A little research at your local courthouse might get you a list of all wills presented for probate.

Dancing At Lughnasa (Tour - Oldham)
Editorial Staff • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 23 Feb 2011
WOS Rating:
Michael – played with low-key conviction by company founder and director Alastair Whatley – tells of the year of '36, when he was seven, the love child of Chrissie, one of the five Mundy sisters, living their uneventful lives in a remote Irish village.
Simple fun and simple ways fill the sister's days but deep humanity is here, life-affirming women playing out their aspirations and frustrations as the outside world is finally catching up with them.
It's a strong and authentic ensemble cast, led by Siobhan O'Kelly as Michael's mother, determined to carry on and enjoy life as much as possible and still longingly and foolishly in love with Michael's attractive but wayward, only occasionally visiting, father (Paul Westwood).
The rest are excellent too, particularly Daragh O'Malley (from TV's Sharpe) as Father Jack, the ill and confused brother, returned home after years of missionary work in Africa, and Victoria Carling as officious, realistic, Kate.
An atmospheric farmhouse interior, surrounded by rough pasture, and subtle sound and light also underline the quality of the production.

text: 345 pages of CIA files covering CORONA, America's first satellite intelligence program. CORONA is the program name for a series of satellites with increasingly more accurate cameras, which provided coverage of the Soviet Union, China, and other areas from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, from the late 1950s until its retirement in 1972. Satellite imagery from Corona was used for a variety of analytical purposes from assessing military strength to estimating the size of grain production. While orbiting the earth, CORONA concentrated principally on photo-graphing the USSR and China.This volume of documents presents the history of the CORONA program, provides a brief look at how the interdepartmental Committee on Overhead Reconnaissance formed to coordinate satellite collection, and gives an example of a nonmilitary use of satellite imagery. Files include a number of National Photographic Interpretation Center and other CIA reports on the analysis of CORONA imagery.

This particular tag provides a basic description of what's found on the webpage, thus pointing search engines and humans towards the themes and topics your website is relevant to.
Although the major search engines give very little value to the description tag when ranking web pages these days, it's still an important aspect of SEO because it's listed in your search result, and it's therefore what users read when your link comes up and what makes them decide whether or not to click on your link.
So what makes the perfect meta description?
Typically, the description should be no more than 10-20 words long or 160 characters, as most search engines ignore anything past this.
Once again, your meta tag description should contain your major keywords, as this can be the difference between a visitor clicking on your link in the search results or choosing another option.
The description can also be used to give more information about the product, enabling you to "sell" it to the reader, in the same way a headline on a sales letter is used.
For instance, if you have a look at the example below for the search term "web design Sydney", the meta descriptions (seen on the second and third lines of each result) tell the reader exactly what the service is all about and also attempt to convince them that they (and not their competitors) are the best option.
Another point to mention here is that unless you're a big brand name like Coca Cola or Nike, there's no real need to have your company name in the description tag (or the title tag, for that matter). After all, most visitors won't even know anything about your company, but they will be looking for products and services that your company may be able to offer, and so your keywords should reflect this.
Let's say that someone has a car dealership, for example. It would make a lot more sense if their meta description said something like this:
"Find second hand cars in London. We have everything from cars and 4x4s, to trucks and vans…" Rather than, say, "Dave's Motors", for example.
See what I mean?
People will be typing in keywords such as "second hand cars", "trucks and vans for sale", "buy 4x4s", second hand cars London", etc, etc.
They're unlikely to be looking for YOUR company specifically.
And finally, as well as having unique title tags for each of your web pages, it's also important to have unique meta descriptions for every page of your site. If you use the same tag contents across multiple pages, search engines can pick up on this and potentially ignore the contents either of that tag, or possibly even the entire page.
Although meta data isn't as crucial as it used to be, many of the specialized search engines still take it into account when ranking your site so it would be foolish to ignore it.
Remember, always follow best practice with your SEO copywriting strategy, because if you do, you'll stand a much better chance of ranking highly for your chosen keywords.

Last week, on Friday I celebrated turning the big 2-6! Speaking of which, it's WEIRD to get emails from your big brother teasing you about now being in your "late twenties". Well, you're in your early thirties, brother, so ha!
To celebrate we headed to my favourite breakfast joint in the entire world – Drexels. I consider it pretty expensive for breakfast, so we literally only go there twice a year – once for Barnaby's birthday and once for mine. Um, so if you can't tell from the photos, it was bloomin' delicious! Melt-in-your-mouth waffles (crispy outside and soft inside, mm!) served with whipped butter.. I genuinely don't think it could get any better than that.
I got dolled up all fancy-like, as I do every year – it just makes birthdays so much more fun, you know. This year I opted for a scalloped little number paired with a vintage leopard print jacket from Nikita & Vesper. I've shot at this beautiful old hotel recently, but I couldn't help but be drawn in again – it is absolutely gorgeous. We only took a few photos though – as people sat down to eat their breakfast right at the window we were shooting beside. Hello, people!
Jacket – Nikita & Vesper / Dress – Chicwish / Beret – Vintage / Purse – And Mary / Clogs – Lotta from Stockholm

Golden girls line up to kick-start show

Diamond dancer
Jean Wilmot, third from left, practises her
high kicks with fellow dancers at rehearsals for Todd McKenney
Photo: Lisa Wiltse
After six children and 60 years of teaching dance, you would think Jean Wilmot might want a rest. Instead she will join a troupe of dancing grannies, high-kicking and doing the splits as part of Todd McKenney Live.
McKenney, famous for playing the role of Peter Allen in the Australian production of The Boy From Oz, will share the stage with 26 women aged between 50 and 80 as part of his all-singing, all-dancing cabaret show.
The dancers - with names like Iris, Bev, Marilyn and Bette - will perform two numbers as part of the show: a tap dance to the tune of Everything Old is New Again and a rendition of the Village People's YMCA.
"I'm the construction worker," said Mrs Wilmot, 76.
"I've got everything: the jeans and the belt and the hard hat."
Her other costume, a spangly top and hot pants, reveals incredibly shapely pins.
"There's still life in the old legs yet," she said, citing daily stretching and walks on the beach as the secret to her continued fitness. Her fellow hoofers are a mixed bag of dance teachers, war entertainers and former performers from the old Tivoli theatre, performing under the guidance of McKenney's choreographer mother, Peta.
"Peta only has to show us a step and, of course, we can all do it because we have all done it before," Mrs Wilmot said.
"The ladies are so supportive of each other and it doesn't matter if you're closer to 50 or closer to 80, we all get on fantastically together."
Among the show's other performers is the former One Nation leader Pauline Hanson.
Mrs Wilmot is shy to give her professional opinion of Hanson's dancing abilities, but says she has great stage presence.
"I think she is the gutsiest lady I have ever seen in my life. Anybody who hasn't been a dancer, to put themselves on national TV and play yourself up, I think that's wonderful.
"Politics aside, I admire her guts."

From sunny suburban developments in Irvine, California, to shiny new condominium towers overlooking Manhattan's skyline, Chinese buyers are sinking cash into U.S. residential real estate. Chinese are now the top foreign buyers of domestic properties, according to the National Association of Realtors, and nearly half of them are paying cash, according to RealtyTrac, a real estate sales and analytics company.
Forty-six percent of Chinese buyers paid cash for their U.S. homes so far in 2015, up 229 percent from a decade ago. Compare that to a 33 percent cash share for buyers overall, up 65 percent from a decade ago.
"Cash buyers across the board are playing a much bigger role in the housing market now than they were 10 years ago, and that is particularly true for Chinese Mandarin-speaking cash buyers, who are more likely to be foreign nationals," said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. "Foreign cash buyers have helped to accelerate U.S. home price appreciation over the past few years given that these buyers are often not as constrained by income as local, traditionally financed buyers."
Recent instability in China's economy and stock market has driven even more buyers to the U.S. — so much so that Long & Foster, a Virginia-based real estate agency, recently began working with Juwai, a China-based real estate listing site.
"We're seeing demand from Chinese buyers with children of all ages — some as young as 1 year old — and they're relying on our team for insight into the local areas and their educational offerings, from elementary to university level," said Pandra Richie, president of Long & Foster's corporate real estate services. "Access to quality education is one of the top priorities for Chinese buyers, and from Philadelphia to Richmond, our market areas offer some of the best school districts and universities."
Asian buyers accounted for 35 percent of all international purchases of U.S. real estate for the 12-month period ended in March 2015, spending more than $28 billion. They have been very active in high-end markets, especially in California and New York City.
Kathy Sloane, a real estate agent with Brown Harris Stevens in Manhattan, recently returned from a real estate conference in China.
"Many Chinese signed up to come. Many New York developers signed up to find out what these Chinese buyers wanted," said Sloane. "The Chinese buyer that was there, often brought their children. They are affluent. They want to know how to get their children into school and how to get health care for their parents. It's a package."
Some want trophy apartments in New York, but certainly not all. There is an appetite for everything. They do tend to like new construction, as is evidenced in Irvine, California, where homebuilders are selling and even designing for Chinese buyers.
"These people are not about flight capital. They are about changing their lives and moving out of China for a variety of reasons," added Sloane.
Education, health care and the promise of price appreciation are all enticing to Chinese buyers. While demand has been on the higher end until now, it is likely that more affordable markets like the mid-Atlantic will start to see increased demand. Cash is a distinct advantage in today's tight housing market, and clearly Chinese buyers know that.

The Duchess of Windsor's love of jewelry is almost as legendary as her romance with the Duke of Windsor. However, we normally associate her jewelry with Cartier, including the famous flamingo and panther jewelry designed by Jeanne Toussaint with whom the Windsors collaborated on a number of pieces.
Less well known is the fact that later in life, the Duchess apparently developed a fondness for costume jewelry, especially the designs of American Alexis Kirk.
Alexis Kirk sold "statement" jewelry in the 1960s and 1970s from his studio at 55 Park Avenue. These are large, bold pieces that used cork, feathers, plastic and other materials not normally associated with jewelry, especially the jewelry belonging to Wallis Simpson. Kirk was apparently intrigued by ethic themes and his jewelry, including a feather boa and a neck to navel body ornament (both acquired by Simpson), does reflect this design interest.
Apparently, she became acquainted with his jewelry sometime in the 1970s when she visited his studio with friends and commissioned five pieces from him. She was 71 at the time.
According to Kirk's widow, the Duke and Duchess spent 45 minutes discussing the designs. This isn't surprisingly as the couple loved jewelry and collaborated on pieces with other designers.
The jewelry was delivered to their penthouse at the Waldorf Astoria and the Duke sent Kirk a check for $89.
The five pieces were bought back from the Windsor estate in 1989 by Alexis Kirk after Simpson's death. Last year they were auctioned by his widow.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:Problem with query with dates in where clause
Yours is a VERY old problem with Oracle and dates. Basically an Oracle data field includes a time variable. In many cases this really stinks (like yours). What you need to do to keep the use of an index on this one is change the where clause to:
where hiredate between to_date('19-JUN-00') and to_date('20-JUN-00')
This will give you consistent results. Your original query gets the time added to it at whatever time it is when executed.

Lesnar retires: The end came suddenly for Brock Lesnar.
A former champion, Lesnar (5-3) retired from mixed martial arts after Alistair Overeem (36-11) stopped him with a vicious kick to the body just 2 minutes, 26 seconds into their heavyweight bout at UFC 141 on Friday in Las Vegas.
Lesnar, 34, the UFC's biggest pay-per-view star and a former NCAA wrestling champion, rose swiftly to the top of MMA. But he has fought just three times in the past 21/2 years while dealing with diverticulitis, a lower intestinal ailment that nearly killed him.
"I've had a really difficult couple of years with my disease, and I'm going to officially say tonight is the last time," he said. "This is the last time you'll see me in the octagon."
Houston card reset: The boxing card featuring Erik Morales' first defense of his junior welterweight belt against Danny Garcia, originally set for Jan. 28 at the Reliant Arena in Houston, has been rescheduled.
The card will take place March 24 at the same venue.
Morales was forced to pull out of the fight on Monday after emergency gallbladder surgery. On Tuesday, the entire card was postponed.

2014 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4×4
February 26, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Truck , Toyota , New Car Reviews The Toyota Tundra is the automotive version of off-brand Cheerios: it doesn't dominate the market, and it's not the first model people think of when they hear the term "pickup truck." Ford , General Motors and Ram dominate the segment with vehicles that offer ridiculous levels of towing and payload capacities and models loaded with luxury items and primed with tech-rich engines. The off-brands, meanwhile, are led by the Tundra, which while still accounting for six-figure sales (112,732 units in 2013, up from 101,621 in 2012), sits well behind the F-150s and Silverados of the world. After our first drive of the revamped 2014 Tundra , we came away thinking this truck is a total underachiever, aimed at placating Toyota loyalists and doing little to win over new customers. But everybody deserves a second chance, and we thought a week's drive in a different environment might lead to a different – or at least a more fully realized – opinion. While the Tundra might not be an industry leader, it still makes it on many truck buyers' shopping lists. So, should you consider this off-brand pickup truck? To find out, we borrowed a top-of-the-line Tundra Platinum for a week. Read on to see what we found.

Automotive News names its industry All-Stars
November 29, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Car Buying , China , Europe , Chrysler , Honda , Toyota , Volkswagen , Fiat Automotive News has announced its annual list of Industry All-Stars. This year, the theme is apparently "success in the face of economic uncertainty," or something of that liking. The list points to executives who have led their respective brands and automakers to positive sales in spite of the European financial crisis and slowing sales in China . See the list below, and you'll understand why: Industry Leader of the Year and CEO, Europe – Martin Winterkorn, CEO, Volkswagen Group (above): The VW boss started with the German automaker in 2007, overseeing a staggering 12 brands. Under his leadership, sales of Volkswagens have gained in both China and America. VW has also expanded production to America and grown its operations in Brazil. Winterkorn is a very hands-on executive, traveling to America six times to test and tweak the American-built current-generation Passat. Volkswagen is aiming to be the largest and most profitable automaker in the wold by 2018, and Winterkorn will stay on through that time, making him accountable for those goals. CEO, North America – Sergio Marchionne, CEO, Chrysler Group: How does 31 straight months of positive year-over-year sales sound? The Fiat and Chrysler chief has bestowed dealers with a wealth of new product, and the American automaker is expected to post $1.5 billion in profits this year, in spite of economic turmoil in Europe.

TEL AVIV (Aug. 21)
A Knesset member demanded Monday that if Israel ever again exchanges security prisoners for hostages, the prisoners must be expelled from the country as soon as they are set free.
Israel has offered to release Shiite prisoners in exchange for three Israeli soldiers and Western hostages held by extremist groups in Lebanon.
Hanan Ben-Porat of the National Religious Party referred to the "bad experience" the last time Israel traded prisoners for hostages, when in May 1985, Israel released 1,100 Palestinians and other detainees in exchange for three Israel Defense Force soldiers held by a terrorist group in Lebanon.
The deal included 598 Palestinians convicted of terrorist acts in Israel or against the IDF in Lebanon.
According to Ben-Porat, 200 of them were subsequently rearrested for security offenses, which included attacks on Israeli soldiers and the murder of Arabs alleged to be "collaborators with the Israeli enemy."
Eighty of them are still in prison in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, 34 have been deported and six left voluntarily, Ben-Porat said.
"The figures speak for themselves," Ben-Porat told Israel Radio on Monday.
The lopsided exchange in 1985 was widely criticized here at the time. It liberated some of the most notorious mass killers who had been in prison for as long as 20 years.
One of them was Kozo Okamoto, the sole survivor of the Japanese Red Army terrorist gang responsible for the Ben-Gurion Airport massacre of 1972, in which 27 people were killed and 72 wounded.
The three soldiers freed in the exchange — Hezi Shai, Yosef Groff and Nissim Salem — were prisoners of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, a terrorist gang headed by pro-Syrian Ahmed Jabril.
They were captured in 1982, in the early days of the war in Lebanon.
In November 1983, Israel traded some 3,000 prisoners in the Ansar detention camp in southern Lebanon for six Israeli soldiers. But those prisoners were never convicted of specific crimes.

No workplace is perfect – even dental clinics. Every workplace in Kensington has its fair share of issues that usually result in conflicts and misunderstandings among employees. Although it is impossible to have a perfect workplace, personality issues among workers could be addressed with simple but effective solutions.
Many types of workplace issues arise from the differences among employees, and these differences are almost always impossible to address without using proven problem-solving techniques. Seemingly trivial and simple personality and behavioral conflicts among employees could result in major workplace issues, which could develop a hostile working environment for everyone. If you own a Kensington dental clinic, and you think that conflicts between your staff members are starting to brew, you would want to continue reading below.
There are several bad behaviors of employees that commonly result in major issues, which usually end up affecting the office's morale and productivity, and the following are some of these behaviors:
- Absenteeism and tardiness – Almost every office has an employee that is notorious for being late and inconsistent with attendance. Such employee can be a pain for the company, especially if his or her daily tasks and productivity are affected. Time is of the essence in any business, and when even one employee absents himself or herself, chances are, the whole productivity of his or her department is affected, which could result in losses for the company in the long run.
- Failure to consider the suggestion of others – Employees who do not value the points and suggestions of their colleagues are likely to cause troubles in the office. Team work is essential in any business. Workers who are team-players know how to get the work done much faster because they listen to what other people say. On the contrary, employees who work on their own, discounting the opinions and suggestions of their colleagues, are more prone to make mistakes that could drag the whole team or department down.
- Gossips – Some offices are breeding ground for gossipers, and these offices are vulnerable to personality clashes and issues. Employees who care less about the feelings of their colleagues tend to make false accusations or gossips against others, creating a hostile working environment for everyone. When these gossips get out of hand, chances are, the morale and productivity of the company are adversely affected, which could result in business losses if not addressed properly.
- Failure to be cooperative – Employees who do not participate in discussions, meetings, and brainstorming activities may not be doing anything wrong but they are not doing anything right as well. Adamant employees may get the job done but they fail to bring important points to the table, making them wallflowers.
- Mediocrity – Workers who do not give their one hundred-percent are in a way cheating their company. They are being compensated but they do not give the company what is due to it. Employees who do not give their best shot tend to produce half-baked and mediocre results, which could affect the company in one way or another.
If your Kensington dental has employees with mentioned behaviors, you should know how to handle them. Your first line of defense is your HR department. Your HR department should know how to address and solve issues that stem from personality clashes and behavior problems in order to prevent these issues from getting their toll and compromising the productivity of the company. HR experts suggest that companies should subscribe to the idea of "prevention is better than cure." This means addressing the issue even before it happens. Your company's recruitment process should be progressive and efficient in order to avoid hiring people who have personality and behavioral problems.

Adobe unwraps HTML 5 tool for Illustrator CS5
September 13th 2010
By Mike Flaminio
Company announces preliminary tool for authoring HTML5 content with Illustrator.
Adobe recently outed a plug-in for Illustrator CS5 that provides some initial HTML5 and CSS3 support. The plugin requires Illustrator 15.0.1, which is the most current version from Creative Suite 5. Adobe states the plug-in helps designers to easily design Web and device content using the emerging Web standards. When coupled with Dreamweaver 11.0.3, the tools could help in development of iOS content. Apple is pushing HTML5 for media-rich and interactive Web pages rather than Adobe's Flash.
Adobe notes that the HTML5 and CSS3 tools are not expected to be finalized "for some time." The intention of this release appears to be support for current standards and will likely change as things evolve.

Whether it is from a company-owned laptop, public computer or Internet kiosk, Check Point Connectra NGX R66 makes accessing the corporate network more secure and less cumbersome. Connectra NGX R66 leverages an enterprise's existing virtual private network (VPN) infrastructure allowing employees to connect from managed laptops using a traditional IPSec connection. Connectra NGX R66 also combines SSL technology, so employees can access the network through the Internet browser of an unmanaged public computer or Internet kiosk. To ensure infected computers or kiosks do not pass threats onto the corporate network, Connectra NGX R66 utilizes integrated intrusion prevention and comprehensive endpoint security to block viruses, malware and malicious attacks."Today's work environment requires users to access corporate networks from a variety of devices, some managed and some unmanaged," said Dr. Dorit Dor, vice president of products at Check Point. "Businesses must deal with the pressure of securing all corporate information while making it accessible anytime and from anywhere. Connectra NGX R66 provides to both end-users and security administrators the high level of security needed as well as the simplicity of use and deployment known from Check Point security solutions."
To improve the end-user experience, Connectra NGX R66 allows uninterrupted connectivity when roaming between wireless networks. Connectra NGX R66 also includes DynamicID(TM) making it the first and only SSL VPN solution to send authentication codes to end-users via text message without the need of a dedicated authentication server, eliminating the need for employees to carry easily lost Smartcards and tokens.
"Connectra NGX R66 allows Akibia to roll out both SSL and IPSEC remote access to our users with ease," said Rick Onorato, director of information technology, at Akibia. "The Connectra SSL VPN portal interface is very user friendly and intuitive, which from an IT services perspective, allows Akibia to distribute remote access by simply delivering a URL to the end user. In addition to granting this access, the endpoint compliance scan increases security by enforcing minimum end-user machine requirements."
Check Point Connectra NGX R66 features and benefits include:
-- Combined SSL VPN, IPSec VPN and integrated intrusion prevention provides best-of-breed secure connectivity
-- Centralized management unifies policy deployment, client administration and event reporting
-- Automatic endpoint scanning prior to user authentication provides an additional level of security
-- DynamicID sends login credentials via Short Message Service (SMS) with no need of a dedicated authentication server, removing the need for Smartcards and tokens
-- Open architecture allows Connectra NGX R66 to be deployed as a turnkey appliance, software on an open-server or on a VMware Platform
-- Business Continuity License supports a large number of users in the event that an incident forces more employees than normal to work remotely
More information on Check Point Connectra NGX R66 can be found at: www.checkpoint.com/products/connectra/index.html
"With Check Point Connectra NGX R66 enterprises can now easily access the corporate network from any computer module with an Internet connection and not have to worry about the potential security dangers," concluded Dor.

Ragweed tinture, tea or powder from dried leaves of young plant may help to overcome Ragweed allergies naturally
I've been hearing and reading about people suffering from seasonal Ragweed allergies recently and at the same time my father advised me to read an article about Ragweed allergies and their natural (herbal) remedies. It was originally published in Hungarian but I thought maybe there are some people out there who would give it a try in other countries as well if they knew about this so I decided to translate it and do some further research.
The author of the hungarian article claims that the author heard about this remedy from a pastor called "Lajos Atya" in 1973 first. He was interested and involved in many applications of natural and herbal medicine at that time and he described the different uses of Ragweed in the past decades in depth.
It is not widely known, but Ragweed is an edible plant, suitable for human consumption as well. The seeds of giant ragweed are 47% crude protein. That is very high, much higher than any cultivated grain. What's more, these seeds, which the plant produces in prodigious amounts, provide, in the words of Roger Wells, a certified wildlife biologist and national habitat coordinator for Quails Unlimited, "the highest amount of metabolizable calories, more even that corn, soybeans, wheat, or any other grain that we know." What that means is that the seeds are very digestible.
Giant ragweed is native to America. It has excellent soil-binding properties. Primitive Americans must have known something we don't about giant ragweed. They nurtured it some 2000 years ago. Archeological studies in Kentucky discovered that ancient native American peoples cultivated Ragweed (Ambrosia Trifida) for its nutritious seeds in Mississippi Valley.
The hungarian author (Weixl-Várhegyi László) claims that the he harvests the young plants early, while they are small and eats the plant leaves raw and also dries the rest and makes a powder from it to preserve it for later use for culinary purposes.
His article received many comments from readers who suffered from Ragweed pollen allergy and some of them described their own experiences after having eaten small quantities of the raw or dried leaves of Ragweed to reduce symptoms of Hay Fever. I found an other online discussion where the participants shared their personal experiences about consuming Ragweed tincture and tea against Ragweed allergies and Hay Fever. The results are very promising.

A St. John's woman has been charged with arson after a fire in April that levelled a home on Bauline Line Extension, north of St. John's.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said the unnamed woman, 39, is accused of setting the fire in the early hours of April 26.
No one was hurt in the incident, which was deemed suspicious from the outset.
The house collapsed from the force of the fire, as crews from the Portugal Cove-St. Phillip's fire department struggled to contain it. Crews remained on the scene for hours to deal with hotspots.
In a statement, the RNC said the investigation is still open, and that investigators are accepting information from the public through direct contact or through the anonymous Crime Stoppers tip service.

Okay, so I just got a job at Hobby Lobby and they have like the BEST sales. 50% of just about everything! Well this week it was their jewelry stuff on sale. So I kinda went crazy and got lots of beads and charms and went earring crazy. Thing is, I love dangly earrings but I can never find really neat stuff where I live. Plus I like to stand out in a crowd so I made some that no one else will have! Yay me! haha, enjoy! Warning, some are a bit emo, but yea... I like it.
I'm gonna getcha!!
I love Dinos, so when I saw these guys, I had to get them. Plus, they look like they're chasing something, so that's where the 'gonna getcha' comes from.
And here's my rainbows.
These took me FOREVER to bead. There's 41+ beads on each strand. (Give or take on the number. I didn't really count, just guesstimated the length.)
I LUV U!!! haha, they don't hang great right now, I need to balance them out a bit better. And I don't know if you can tell, but there's three hematite hearts on the ends.
Sharkies!!! He's supposed to look like he's swimming deep in the dark ocean...
When I wore these to work, no one knew what they were. So I grabbed a sharpie and drew some eyes on them! I don't have the pic of them with the sharpie on them, sorry.
Now, my octopuses!!!!
RAWR!!! My other Dinos. I say rawr like all the time, and now my earrings do too!
Then here's a group shot,
don't really know why I'm putting this one up,
but I am!!!
Well, I hope you like,
I'm off to make more!
I'll post more when they're made!!!

Manifesto at the Park Avenue Armory
Our friend told me that we should get up to the show, Manifesto, at the Park Avenue Armory. It is worth the trip.
Seeing the armory with only 13 screens hanging from the walls/ceiling with one long bench in front of each of them is an incredible sight in itself. Each screen shows a short film starring Cate Blanchett in different roles from a newscaster to a teacher to a homeless man. Each character tells a manifesto quoting artists over the last century. Each manifesto is a declaration about different art movements from Pop Art to Surrealism. It is a very cool installation and of course Blanchett is amazing.
We wandered around the place afterwards. Going when the armory opens up on Sunday is great because the place is empty. This is one of the rooms open to the public. So beautiful and old.
The bathroom sign has definitely been updated and I love it.

By Terence Dooley
Dean Powell, the matchmaker for Frank Warren Promotions, has contacted BoxingScene to dismiss spurious rumours that he will not be involved in the upcoming fight between David Haye and Dereck Chisora at London's Upton Park venue on July 14 due to the ongoing dispute between the organisers of the show, who are operating under the Luxembourg Boxing Federation's auspices, and the BBBoC. Powell will be working with Dereck Chisora come fight night despite claims to the contrary that were posted on boxing forums here in the U.K. on Saturday night and earlier today.
The forum posts in question state that Powell had told a group of FWP fighters that he would not be able to work with them on the night due to the BBBoC's threat to take action against any licence holder who appears on the bill in a working capacity. Powell, though, informed me that he will be there alongside "Del Boy" and Don Charles as they attempt to score a win over former WBA titlist Haye.
"It is not true that I won't be working, the information is incorrect and I will be working at West Ham in my usual capacity," said Powell when speaking to BoxingScene. "I will be working in the corner alongside [Chisora's trainer] Don Charles and also as a cutsman and wrapping hands – I want to make that clear. My position is this – I will be standing alongside Frank Warren, Don Charles, Dereck Chisora, and all the rest of Frank's fighters and staff. It is nonsense to say otherwise. I want it to be corrected. I'd like to know where people get this 'information' from because it simply isn't true."
Powell also revealed that Cromer's Liam Walsh, 12-0 (9), will take on Italy's Dominico Urbano, 25-3-1 (10), for the vacant WBO European Super featherweight title on the bill. It will Walsh's first outing since his memorable win over Paul Appleby in September of last year and the 26-year-old will hope to impress against the 36-year-old former EBU-EU featherweight title-holder.

Amanda Moore Elementary School, Green Earth Kids Club
Romeo, Michigan
Honorable Mention
Amanda Moore Elementary School, Green Earth Kids Club in Romeo, Michigan have done many environmentally friendly projects repotrs Marcie Cornett.
In the beginning the Green Earth Kids Club started as a small group of students and parent volunteers aimed at beautifying our little elementary School. We planted a few bulbs, picked up some litter, and sowed a few seeds. Over the past three years we have grown to 120 student members and over 16 volunteers. Our numbers grow each month and our teachers get more involved with every project that we implement. Our community has recognized us as a ground breaking addition to our district.
Our purpose and goal is simple. We teach children that their actions can make a difference. This lays the foundation for responsible, active citizenship. We want to send them into the future knowing that they are entitled to a world of clean air, fresh water, and readily available natural resources for themselves and their children. They are learning ways to become both environmentally conscious and ways to be more self sustainable by growing their own vegetables garden.
We have a unique asset which contributed to our success. Over 15 years ago there was a generous neighbor who donated a 1.25 acre piece of land to our district and its lies on the grounds of Amanda Moore elementary School. It is our:
Nature…Science…Garden…Wilderness…Sanctuary…Habitat… CENTER!Together with our passion for hard work we have developed a vegetable garden, walking paths, large "Learning Gazebo" with tables, installed birdhouses, planted perennial vegetables and fruit trees, and identified both native and invasive plants within this area. This is just a small part of our clubs accomplishments.
Goals reached: paper recycling bins, huge vegetable garden, certified butterfly garden, planted trees on playground, bird feeders installed, planted ABC garden, environmental posters in cafeteria, compost bins
Goals yet to conquer: eliminate use of Styrofoam lunch trays, remove our invasive Mustard Garlic, Zero Waste Lunch Room, eliminate use of chemical cleaners on desks, install rain barrels, install hoop houses for winter gardening.

Ski community rocked by the loss of Jeret 'Speedy' Peterson
July 29, 2011
Olympic aerials daredevil and innovator Jeret "Speedy" Peterson is dead at the age of 29.
According to Lt. Justin Hoyal, spokesman for the Salt Lake Unified Police Department, Peterson, the creator of the famous "Hurricane" signature move that earned him a silver medal in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, was found dead at about 9:30 p.m. Monday in Lambs Canyon from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Hoyal said Peterson called 911 at 8:34 p.m. Monday informing authorities he was going to end his own life and notifying them of his location.
"Officers responded in Lambs Canyon and found his body outside the vehicle," he said.
Hoyal also said Peterson left a suicide note behind.
Peterson, a native of Boise, Idaho, spent a majority of his Olympic career training and living in Park City. A three-time Olympian, Peterson was famous for his fearlessness in the air but also for his off-the-hill troubles. He suffered from bouts of depression and alcoholism.

Most recently, Peterson was arrested on drunken-driving charges Friday in Hailey, Idaho. Police said he was driving three times the legal speed limit, according to a report from The Associated Press.
"It's a big blow to all of us," said Tom Kelly, vice president of communications for the United States Ski & Snowboard Association (USSA). "He was not only a great athlete, but a great friend; someone who was a great supporter of the organization."
Kelly said many USSA athletes gathered at the Utah Olympic Park Wednesday morning to honor Peterson.
Many freestyle veterans were reluctant to participate in the scheduled Wednesday morning training session, Kelly said; it was Hans Gardner, a rookie freestyler with USSA from Buffalo, N.Y., who was the first to decide to suit up.
Gardner was one of 42 USSA rookie athletes who listened to Peterson address the annual USSA Rookie Camp on June 24 at the Center of Excellence in Park City.
In that speech, Peterson urged the rookies to take advantage of everything they had in front of them, and emphasized the added responsibility of being in the limelight.
"When you're wearing that USSA jacket," Peterson said, "you're not just another kid at the party."
According to Kelly, Peterson had just finished his freshman year of college at Westminster College in Salt Lake City. He said Peterson was in the process of forming a company to manufacture and sell performance eyewear.
"In many ways, he was at a very good place right now," Kelly said.
Kelly said Jan. 11, 2007, the evening Peterson landed the "Hurricane," a five-twist, three-flip acrobatic feat in a World Cup event at Deer Valley Resort, was his banner night as a pro athlete.
"That is the night I will remember most," Kelly said.
Amy Donaldson, a columnist with The Deseret News, began covering freestyle skiing in 2001. That's when she first met and interviewed Peterson.
She recalled the "effusive and candid" Peterson later opening up to her about his troubled past at a training session prior to the Vancouver Games.
"He was so honest," she said. "I talked to him about being extremely hard on himself. He was cognizant of the fact, and knew it wasn't normal thinking. What we would see as a success, he would see as a failure."
Donaldson recalls one of her last conversations with Peterson when she asked him why he felt the need to be so revolutionary in the air. She told him if he simply focused on consistent jumps, he could add more awards to his silver medal.
"He said, 'That's not me. I want to be known for pushing the envelope,'" she said. "In aerials, it's go big or go home."
Donaldson said she cried when she heard news of Peterson's death.
"I know people who struggle with depression," she said. "I see them winning one day, and the next day, they're losing. Now, Speedy is a cautionary tale."
Donaldson recalled Peterson's silver-medal evening in February 2010. The same amicable and engaging athlete she'd interviewed over the course of a decade did what he was born to do, she said.
"The snow is soft, wet, wind constantly blowing," she said. "Absolutely the opposite of what you need to jump aerials, and then, he lands it. It was one of those things where I needed to thank God for what I do for a living. I don't know when we'll see the 'Hurricane' landed again."
Services for Peterson are scheduled to be held in Boise, Idaho, on Aug. 6 at 3 p.m. at the Boise State University Student Union Ballroom. Today, at the Utah Olympic Park, the Festival of Flight will include a tribute to Peterson. The event runs from noon to 3 p.m. Admission is free.

Ok so I took these shots on Christmas night, but I really wanted to post them. After dinner on Christmas night, the family sat down to play dominoes. My dad's uncle arrived with more presents. This is Dad holding up his present from Uncle William. I just love the expression in the shot on the lower left. Dad wouldn't let me get a photo of the trap door.
I love you Dad!

The fundamental basis on which climate models are constructed has not changed since the TAR, although there have been many specific developments (see Section 8.2). Climate models are derived from fundamental physical laws (such as Newton's laws of motion), which are then subjected to physical approximations appropriate for the large-scale climate system, and then further approximated through mathematical discretization. Computational constraints restrict the resolution that is possible in the discretized equations, and some representation of the large-scale impacts of unresolved processes is required (the parametrization problem).
Parametrizations are typically based in part on simplified physical models of the unresolved processes (e.g., entraining plume models in some convection schemes). The parametrizations also involve numerical parameters that must be specified as input. Some of these parameters can be measured, at least in principle, while others cannot. It is therefore common to adjust parameter values (possibly chosen from some prior distribution) in order to optimise model simulation of particular variables or to improve global heat balance. This process is often known as 'tuning'. It is justifiable to the extent that two conditions are met:
1. Observationally based constraints on parameter ranges are not exceeded. Note that in some cases this may not provide a tight constraint on parameter values (e.g., Heymsfield and Donner, 1990).
2. The number of degrees of freedom in the tuneable parameters is less than the number of degrees of freedom in the observational constraints used in model evaluation. This is believed to be true for most GCMs – for example, climate models are not explicitly tuned to give a good representation of North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) variability – but no studies are available that formally address the question. If the model has been tuned to give a good representation of a particular observed quantity, then agreement with that observation cannot be used to build confidence in that model. However, a model that has been tuned to give a good representation of certain key observations may have a greater likelihood of giving a good prediction than a similar model (perhaps another member of a 'perturbed physics' ensemble) that is less closely tuned (as discussed in Section 18.104.22.168 and Chapter 10).
Given sufficient computer time, the tuning procedure can in principle be automated using various data assimilation procedures. To date, however, this has only been feasible for EMICs (Hargreaves et al., 2004) and low-resolution GCMs (Annan et al., 2005b; Jones et al., 2005; Severijns and Hazeleger, 2005). Ensemble methods (Murphy et al., 2004; Annan et al., 2005a; Stainforth et al., 2005) do not always produce a unique 'best' parameter setting for a given error measure.
