Google + YouTube = ???
|So Google has bought up YouTube. Lots of varied opinion on the move over the 'net, but the one I happen to agree with is the "watch for the lawsuits to start flying now" camp. Now that there's some money behind it, look for the copyright lawsuits to start coming out of the woodwork. YouTube was losing money before, so what was the point of suing them? Now there's some cash to be had…
YouTube was nice while it lasted. Now that Google has taken over, I don't think we'll see it continue in its current incarnation for a long time. I've been enjoying searching and watching all kinds of clips on there lately too. It's even better than late night TV. I've found songs and performances that you can't find anywhere, music videos that music stations no longer play, and fan made videos that have introduced me to some new music I wouldn't have thought to listen to. Luckily, I figured out how to save all the videos that I find that I like, so even when they're inevitably yanked, I can still watch them.
It'll be interesting to see what direction YouTube goes now that it's backed by a mega corporation with some money muscle. Will they continue to make deals with media companies and get them to embrace the technology, or will it go the way of Napster?

Really excited to share this new career app we've been working on at Tiny Hearts in collaboration with The Learning Partnership (a non-profit). Most sources of career info are riddled with myths and outdated advice. We're looking to change that with the Real Talk app by crowdsourcing BS free advice for students. The Real Talk app brings together the best actionable advice, tips and resources from young people who have been there and done that. We've profiled hundreds of young professionals – everyone from professional YouTubers, Drake's full-time Barber, engineers at Facebook, designers to acrobats and accountants. For example if you're thinking about getting into Community Management who better to learn from then someone like PH's @bentossell :) You can find more details via our blog > http://blog.tinyhearts.com/th-bl... Interested in paying it forward and being featured in a Real Talk profile – fill out this form > http://www.realtalk.careers/form

@robjama Thanks dude! it was fun giving my answers :)
Milan vd Bovenkamp ♠@milann · Making ideas come alive 🚀🚀 🚀
@robjama This is great Rob! Haha this is what you were working on so incredibly hard ;) Actually that reality line is way too normal, it goes out the frame, makes 3d flips, and heads back to square one high school, and takes whatever shape. But yeah, let's not overdo it. I like that it's real, by real people, and in diverse worlds, and not blown up by the social media spectacle.
@bentossell Thanks Ben 👊🏾!
@milann Yeah :) It's iOS, Android and Web. You're right - life throws us some interesting twists and turns that aren't really reflected in the places where we get career info/advice today. Hopefully, this app can broaden the horizons of a few people. I know I wish I knew about this whole design and tech thing when I was in high school!
Nick Mango@alternate1985 · Co-Founder Limited Run
School and career choices, is something I struggled with a lot with when I was growing up. I sucked at being a good student. I hated my teachers. I hated my parents. And I hated being forced to learn, what people thought I should learn. Because of that, I completely shutdown. I didn't do my homework. I handed in tests, completely blank. I once spent an entire year of english, totally silent, never doing a single stitch of work. So at 15, my parents decided to send me to California, to work with my uncle for the summer. He owned a construction and design company. I dug holes, hammered nails, and when the opportunity arose, I helped him draw and design for new projects. I did that every summer till I was 20. I gave up every single summer, to work 3000 miles from home. No friends. No fun. I slept in half built houses like a squatter. When I finally got a job in design, it was for a small woodworking company on Long Island. I hated it. I was fired. Then I got a job in design for a robotics company. I hated it. I was fired. Then I got a design job at a stone fabricator. I hated it. But I didn't get fired. That's when I started to learn. I left that job on my own and moved out of my parents house. I started gambling for a living. I played golf, chess, cards, pool, anything I could bet on to pay the rent. I didn't hate it. The stress was terrible, but I was free. I was on my own, doing what I wanted. I stuck with it till 2006, when out of the blue, the owner of one of the largest facade companies in the world, called and asked me to come work for him. I quit gambling, went back to work in design, and helped add to the Manhattan skyline. Buildings I did will stand for the next 100 years. But guess what. I still hated it. I was good at it. But I didn't love it. I loved art. I loved drawing. I loved being creative. But once again, I didn't love being told what to love. What to draw. What to create. I thought money would make me feel better. I walked into the boss's office and said I needed a raise. He said ok, how much? I said 100%. I wanted my salary raised by 100%. Guess what? He gave it to me. Happiness, right? No, I still hated it. 3 years into that job, my brother asked me if I wanted to start a software company. We began work on our service in the beginning of 2009. I stayed at my day job for 4 more years, while our platform morphed and changed, into something that made us a great living. Design wasn't my true calling. I still don't know what is. But here's what I do know: When I was failing community college, and my father told me to take every civil service test I could get my hands on, I knew he was wrong. I knew I was meant to be something other than a bailiff. Parents think they know what's best. The problem is, they know what's best for them, not you. Everyone is different. Everyone takes their own amount of time, to figure out what they're meant to do. When I quit that design job, at the stone fabricator, here's what I told myself: I was going to be whatever the fuck I wanted to be. And when I became that, I would be the best I could at it. If I became a hole digger, I would try to be the best hole digger on the planet. If I became a nail hammerer, I would try to be the best nail hammerer on the planet. If I designed facade systems, I would try to be the best designer on the planet. I knew that if I did that, the money would come. I knew If I did that, I would be happy. So that's what I'm doing, and that's what I'm becoming.
@alternate1985 Thanks for sharing your journey Nick!
I love it - finally, some digging into the mechanics of how people get into their roles...what would be cool is if interviewees could also do a simple scoring of how much of the outcome was attributable to luck, smarts, hard work, or other basics like that...sometimes people are simply well connected, or lucky, and beat out the smart or hard working, or the other way around, but it would be neat to see a little "I got here with X percent luck, X percent hard work and X percent school and study"
@passingnotes Great idea, thanks! That would definitely add a lot of context to people's career stories.
@robjama definitely - it's helpful when people add color like, "hard work mattered more than my actual degree" or, "my uncle also runs the company"
@robjama maybe simple choices, like a 1-10 scale on: luck, drive, perspiration, connections (etc), would look kinda cool right at the top of each interview
Mark Justin Harvey@markjharvey · product designer
Fantastic Robleh! I am curious about the reasoning behind going with a native app vs. a web app
Humayun KhanMaker@humayunnkhan · Product Designer, Tiny Hearts
@markjharvey Hey Mark, Humayun here from the Tiny Hearts team, misread the comment and responded too quickly, but we've always found native apps performance to be more superior in regards to speed and the ability to build native features and functionality than building a web alone. Native App Store distribution also helps if the app is feature-worthy. :) Hope that helps. Thanks for checking us out.
Sarthak Grover@sarthakgrover · Consumer Tech
What a wonderful idea. I've had the opportunity to mentor a few folks and was alarmed at the gap between what they read/learn online and in their schools vs the ground reality of the career they are interested in and this would definitely be a refreshing way to get real perspectives for them.

I have read quite a number of articles regarding the abovementioned. Which is better? Love first or career? If you are going to ask me, it depends. Why? Because at the end of the day, the decision is ours to make. We are in-charge of our happiness. We know what would really make us happy, whole and complete.
You may be a strong and independent individual but you chose love. Each one has his/her reasons why they chose this over that. Besides, what matters is your happiness and a life with no regrets.
We are given the freedom and the will to choose. We just have to choose which we think is best for us.

BioQuad 4-Well Vented IVF Culture Dish
The new gold standard for IVF.
BioQuad is the only dish that combines these features:
• Sloping wells for ease of locating embryos and gametes
• PH equilibration of an uncovered dish while still offering the benefit of protective lid
• FDA 510K/MEA greater than 90% post 96 hours
• Convex/concave inner well for sorting or humidification
• Stackable and individually packaged
BioQuad 4-Well Vented Culture Dish reflects an innovative rethinking of the specific requirements of the assisted reproductive laboratory. The features of this dish were designed in response to the specific demands associated with handling, sorting and culturing embryos and gametes.
The dimensions of Biogenic's BioQuad allow for a precise fit in most IVF laboratory equipment using 4-well dishes. The size is an exact fit for the MINCTM incubator.
Unique to the BioQuad 4-well vented culture dish are its radiused corners in each well which allow embryos to "roll" into the center of each well and avoid sticking into corners–because the wells have no corners. The vented lid allows for two positions indicated by molded keyways positioned 90° apart. The open position elevates the lid uniformly by 1mm allowing for gas exchange and pH equilibration and prevention of contamination when placed inside an incubator, whereas the closed position allows for secure transport across the lab.
The center well's patent-pending convex/concave geometry creates an annular "canyon" where specimens may be sorted prior to culturing. Alternatively, this well is useful for humidification.
Tight tolerance between the skirt edge and the well bottoms ensure good thermal transfer when the dish is place upon a heated stage. Ribs on the dish lid interface with a mechanical interference fit on the skirt of another culture dish, allowing the dishes to be stacked vertically with reduced risk of spillage during transport or incubation. Each well is numbered for the purpose of tracking individual specimens.
The dishes are manufactured in the USA from 100% virgin, crystalline medical grade polystyrene. All production lots of the dish are subjected to a rigorous 72-hour optical polish process, which results in a clarity surpassing all competitive products. After sterilization by gamma irradiation they undergo a 96-hour mouse embryo assay test wherein test results are typically 99 – 100% post culture.
Dishes are supplied in case lots of 120 dishes. Each dish is individually wrapped and sterile, thus reducing the potential waste of unused dishes.

Little Miss Marker (1934): United States – directed by Alexander Hall
Not rated by the MPAA – contains gangsters and a little girl used as betting collateral
There's hardly been a cuter child star than Shirley Temple. Henry Thomas in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial [review here] is perhaps close, and closer still is Ronny Howard in The Courtship of Eddie's Father. But Shirley Temple lights up the screen every time she appears, regardless of how many times she glances off camera to look for direction. In short shots she is radiant, practically the best part of Little Miss Marker.
The rest of the film is not bad. It's the sort of light-hearted gangster movie in which every battle-hardened bad guy turns out to have a heart of gold (or at least the right blood type). The story begins with Big Steve Halloway (Charles Bickford) fixing an upcoming horse race. He blackmails nearly a dozen gamblers, saying his horse (the favorite) will lose the race if they pay up. In the process they'll clean up on all the bets coming in.
The gangsters all have wonderful names. Sorrowful Jones (Adolphe Menjou) becomes the soft-hearted hero of the story. Other gangsters have names like Regret (Lynne Overman), Sore Toe (Warren Hymer), Canvas Back (John Kelly), and Sun Rise (John Sheehan). The femme fatale of this boys club is Big Steve's girl, Bangles (Dorothy Dell). She's a cabaret singer and also turns out to have a heart of gold. Even though the gang eventually shows its true colors, there are occasional moments of shameful hilarity. One such instance involves the bookies each putting $100 down and betting on a little girl's weight.
During the initial betting on Big Steve's fixed horse, a man comes in wanting to place a $20 bet. He's good for the money, but doesn't have it at the moment. He offers some collateral, a marker, in order to place his bet. Sorrowful's toughness slips and he accepts the marker, Marthy Jane (Temple). The father (Edward Earle) leaves the little girl at the betting corral and runs off. Soon Sorrowful finds himself stuck with the little girl. Together with Bangles, the two of them provide for her while her father is away. When it becomes clear he's not coming back, they pretend she doesn't exist in order to avoid involving the cops. Instead they name her owner of Big Steve's horse, as he has to duck out of town to avoid problems with the local bookies and federal agents.
But as they spend time with the little dimpled child, their attitudes change. Initially, Marky (as they name her) is fanciful and imaginative. She labels all the bookies as knights of the round table. Pretty soon, however, her temperament changes and she starts becoming tough. She starts talking like one of the gang, and refuses to believe in the fairy tales she used to love. Ashamed of how they've corrupted a young girl, the gangsters attempt to put things right with a little party. At this point the movie becomes a tad excessively silly, though it never becomes completely derailed.
There's a certain amount of charm in Little Miss Marker, none of which comes from its nonexistent complexity. The dialogue sparkles like you would expect mid-1930's dialogue to sparkle, and Shirley Temple repeating hardened gangster talk is incredibly adorable. She steals much of the show, not through her acting but merely by being herself. Her dimples and her curly hair, and the juxtaposition of her and the bookies make for an enjoyable film. While there's not a great deal of story or depth to the film, it is cute and fluffy, in a positive way.
There are a few relics of decades past that might be problematic for today's audiences. Every black character in the film is subservient to the white characters; most egregious is two young black children who pull Bangles' show float around the stage floor as she performs at the night club. But this is a product of the times, and, while not forgivable, must be viewed in its proper historical position. There are other technical problems as well, including some poor continuity editing that occasionally intrudes on the film's effectiveness. Regardless, the majority of Little Miss Marker is delightful and charming, even if it utterly lacks depth.

Last week my goal was to stick with the blogging and get every post up when I wanted to. I was successful yet again with meeting this goal. Thinking about it, this is definitely going to be better than a resolution for the whole year.
Two weeks ago: Get to the gym at last twice = success!
Last week's goal: Keep up with the blogs = success!
This week's goal: complete every check mark in my planner
In my planner I make check boxes for what needs to happen on what day. I want to have every box checked off on the right day. Sometimes I cheat and check off the box a day later if I accomplish it late. I want to finish everything on the right day. Finishing it early is great. Late, no way no how.

The world watches and waits for the winds of war. The moments of peace simmer with the prospects of fire and chaos. Chaos is of fear and the processes of clashing ideals, one body of a people who shout to another, who steal their wealth and spill their blood. No matter the tide of hatred, it stirs, to strife and borders to be breached. Old clashes are rehashed, forgiveness might be a cure, yet there is retaliation that exceeds the original offense and the cycles of retaliations increase. These are the habits of cultures where man has interceded with ego and false courage, for when faced with his own mortality, he covers his fears in shouts yet his legs quiver.
The enemy is within, a heart, a nation, where men seek to be as gods, being judges and deliverers of their own ideas of justice. There are places in the world that will never see a full peace, for even in the quiet moments, the ground groans with the histories of idolatry, spilled bloods, the obeisance to wicked gods. The land reveals the sins of the generations.
But for those whose hearts desire the kernels of truth, revealed for the seeker, I provide peace though upheavals abound. Parched throats crave the voice of redemptive histories. Tell of your own histories, of how your god, the creator of the heavens and the earth, turned your sorrows to joy, calmed the crashing of your thoughts through the screen that separates truths from lies. To bear the record of my power to save will save others. What are the wonderful acts that I have shown for all the world to hear and know that there is but one god of the heavens and the earth and the false entities that claim dominion on this earth are but dust, blown away by the voice and breath of truth.
I have provided many means of truth to be carried and my words of glory are published for the world to see and hear. As I spoke in the days of my generations, in the days of histories when my chosen sought their rightful lands, all should hear and truth be told to the corners of the earth. God's Prophecy, The Daily Prophet
2 Sing to the Lord, and bless his name; never cease to bear record of his power to save. 3 Publish his glory among the heathen; his wonderful acts for all the world to hear. Psalm95:2-3 Knox

See Your Yard Transformed with Help from the Yard Doctor and Landscape Cash
MILWAUKEE – Are you struggling with lawn and yard care? Are the weeds growing but the grass isn't? Maybe you're embarrassed by patchy grass and an overgrown landscape. If so, it may be time for a yard care intervention, and a chance to grow your confidence and a better looking lawn and landscape.
This spring and summer, the Briggs & Stratton Yard Doctor will roll up his sleeves and help homeowners confront their yard care demons with an on-the-ground intervention to bring three of America's neediest yards back into their neighborhoods' good graces. Yard Doctor Trey Rogers, Ph.D., and his team will spend a day providing advice and hands-on help to transform the winning homeowners' yards into points of pride. In addition to a yard makeover, the winners will receive new lawn care equipment and $1,500 for supplies.
Homeowners can apply for an intervention for themselves, or they can call out a neighbor, family member or friend in need of help. (You must secure their permission first before entering someone else in the contest.) Each "application" should creatively explain the yard care problems faced and why an intervention is necessary, using either a short video or up to four photos to show the yard. Complete rules and entry guidelines can be found at www.yardsmartsintervention.com.
One yard will be selected each month from May through July by online voting. Then, the Briggs & Stratton Yard Doctor will swoop in with a new lawn mower and pressure washer, cash for supplies and expert advice and hands-on help to relieve yard care suffering. Runners up each month receive cool Yard Smarts gear.
Homeowners living with problem yards are invited to share their lawn and yard care problems at yardsmartsintervention.com starting March 15. Complete rules, as well as lots of yard care knowledge, can be found at www.yardsmartsintervention.com.
The interventions will be filmed and featured on the web site to educate all homeowners on how to tackle lawn and yard care issues head on and be successful.

Sessions' Topics: Microserver Connectivity; PCI Express Eclipsing SAS, SATA in Storage
Sessions' Topics: Microserver Connectivity; PCI Express Eclipsing SAS, SATA in Storage
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 14, 2013) - PLX Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLXT), the global leader in PCI Express® (PCIe®) silicon and software connectivity enabling emerging data center architectures, today announced that Larry Chisvin, PLX® vice president of strategic initiatives, will lead a panel of industry experts addressing microservers, and Akber Kazmi, PLX senior marketing director, will present on PCIe's penetration in and disruption of the storage market, at the upcoming Open Server Summit. Chisvin will chair the session titled How Do We Connect the Microservers?, with a panel comprised of industry experts, on Wednesday, October 23, 10:00-11:00 a.m., and Kazmi's presentation, PCI Express Supersedes SAS and SATA in Storage (within the conference's NVMe: Bringing PCIe Speed to SSDs session) takes place October 23, 8:30 - 9:45 a.m. -- both at the Santa Convention Center, Santa Clara, Calif.
The session Chisvin chairs will explain and compare the different fabrics that can be used to connect microservers, addressing them in terms of performance, cost, flexibility, ecosystem, and familiarity. The panel -- featuring presentations from leading technology companies Calxeda, Fastor Systems, IDT, Magma, and Mellanox -- will help attendees understand the trade-offs among those fabrics that can be made for various applications.
Kazmi's presentation will highlight PCIe's rapid penetration in data-center and cloud storage environments currently the domain of the SAS and SATA storage interfaces. The NVMe session he presents at, focusing on the powerful combination of PCIe and solid-state drive (SSD) technologies, also will include presentations from Intel and SanDisk.
"Microservers and NVMe are both technologies in their early deployment cycles, but offer tremendous opportunities for system developers and their customers," said Chisvin. "The promise of significant cost and power reduction has caught the interest of CPU makers, software developers, and system manufacturers who are deploying highly dense microservers in their cloud environments and data centers. Likewise, storage professionals are already benefiting from the unprecedented performance capabilities of SSD storage, with NVMe providing a standard way to optimize the technology through PCI Express. The panel I'll be chairing and the session Akber will present at will provide the audience with a broad understanding of these two major shifts in computing and storage."
PLX was the first to market in 2004 with PCIe Gen1 switches and has continued to invest in and command the market, resulting in today's portfolio of feature-rich, low-latency, power-efficient switching devices that are complemented by PLX software, which enables quick time to market. The company began sampling the industry's first PCIe Gen3 switching silicon in 2010 and now offers designers worldwide 18 Gen3 switches ranging from 12 to 96 lanes, and three to 24 ports.
PLX continues to gain market share and now commands more than 70 percent of the worldwide market for PCIe switches. With its leading position in Gen3, the company expects this momentum to continue. The company has many more Gen3 switches in development to enable its ExpressFabric® initiative, a rapidly growing enterprise storage market, and other key data center applications, while in parallel is planning for PCIe Gen4 products.
The Open Server Summit focuses principally on the server community -- designers, developers and marketers. It emphasizes making servers designed for data centers and cloud environments energy-efficient and maximized for performance. To register, go to https://www.expotracshows.com/open-server/2013.

How do you check whether your Oracle database is running smoothly or not? Do you check everything from scratch or have hired a DBA staff for doing it? Well both are very time consuming process. Oracle 11g has introduced Automatic Health Monitor to monitor the health of database. It checks various components like data dictionary and data files for physical and logical corruption. As the name suggests it automatically monitor the database components and store all the details in Automatic Diagnostic Repository. When an error is detected, packages are created by Packing services and send it to Oracle support.
Health Monitor also suggests solutions for solving errors. You can access Health Monitor through command line or Oracle Enterprise Manager GUL. Health Monitor can be run in both offline and online mode. You can run Health Monitor in two ways; one is Reactive and another is Manual. In Reactive, Health Check Monitor run automatically in response to an error while in Manual, you have have to run it manually whenever you want using either Enterprise Manager or DBMS_HM PL/SQL.
Types of Health Checks run by Health Monitor
- DB Structure Integrity Check: This check is used to check the integrity of database files and also reports failure in case of corruption or inaccessibility. It checks for data and logfile if database is in online mode. In case of offline mode it will check only control file.
- Data Block Integrity Check: This check is used to check block corruption or inconsistencies within the block. It also stores information of corrupted block in V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION view.
- Redo Integrity Check: This check is used to check the redo and archived log for corruption.
- Undo Segment Integrity Check: It checks for logical undo corruption. If corruption is detected, this check tries to recover corrupt transaction using PMON and SMON. In case of failure of recovery, Health Monitor will store all the information of corruption in V$CORRUPT_XTD_LIST.
- Transaction Integrity Check: This check work similar to Undo Segment Integrity Check. The only difference is that it checks only single transaction.
- Dictionary Integrity Check: This check is used to verify the integrity of core dictionary objects. It also verifies the contents of each dictionary object.

This presentation describes published results of an analysis of the Common Information Model (CIM) modeling approach from the Linked Data perspective. Due to the Resource Description Framework Schema extensions and constraints introduced by CIM in the IEC 61970-501 and IEC 61970-552 standards, enhancements are proposed that add Linked Data capability allowing the application of standard based reasoning tools on CIM documents. The new approach for CIM-based network modeling uses JSON-LD and applies the Linked Data principles.

Although future communication networks will require a multimedia transport solution that is more aware of a delivery network's requirements, the Internet of the future is expected to be more agile, secure and reliable, enriching at the same time many areas of life. The Internet of Things (IoT) connects devices, or objects, in order to increase their efficiency by exploiting the potential of networking. The next step is Tactile Internet (TI) making infrastructure between humans, machines and systems faster and more efficient. TI has been defined by the IEEE P 1918.1 T1 ad-hoc defining group as "A network or network of networks for remotely accessing, perceiving, manipulating or controlling objects or processes in perceived real time by humans or machines".
This work deals with the perspective of TI. Starting from the point that the technology's potential in the respect of our human senses can interact with machines, the TI will enable not only audiovisual interaction with technical systems, but also the moving robotic systems to be controlled. The high availability and security, ultra-fast reaction times and TI reliability represent a new quality in human to human interaction enabling tactile sensations. In what follows, we are going to outline the potential of the TI exploring application fields, ranging from industry automation, transportation systems, to healthcare, energy, education, all demonstrating a growing impact on our society. Robotics and distance presence, virtual and augmented reality are pointed out, too. It goes on to describe the TI demands on future digital infrastructure and its expected impact on latency and reliability, security, system architecture, access networks as well as mobile edge-cloud. Open challenges and future research directions conclude the presentation.

LITTLE ROCK – On Monday, Bill Clinton moderated a discussion about empowering the world's women.
But the event was also clearly focused on the Clintons themselves. "Friend of Bill" Jerry Jones, senior vice president of Little Rock-based Acxiom, quoted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the group, reminding them of her words in Beijing to the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995. "Human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights."
Jones also lamented to the group that the United States, unlike many nations in the world, still hasn't had a female president. (A possible hint about 2016?)
Hillary Clinton, who is recovering from stomach flu and a fainting spell that gave her a concussion, addressed the group via video before her husband entered the room. In the message, taped prior to her illness, Hillary Clinton praised the city of Little Rock, which this year renamed an airport in her and her husband's honor, in her brief remarks.
She also said the topic of women was "near and dear to her heart," especially "how to harness the power of women around the world."
But this wasn't Hillary's show. It was Bill's.
After all, earlier in the day, the news broke that Clinton would be working with Martin Scorsese on a documentary about his life for HBO. According to an HBO statement, the documentary will explore Clinton's "perspectives on history, politics, culture and the world."
On those topics, he has many, and he gave the audience a dose of them at Monday's Club de Madrid meeting.
He talked about Malala Yousufzai, the 14-year-old girl in Pakistan who was shot because she wanted to attend school. He mentioned a 17-year-old girl in Afghanistan who wanted to attend medical school but was forced into marriage by her parents. She attempted suicide and broke her back.
The horrors women and girls face around the world gripped the audience for more than an hour: Did you know that half the graduates in Saudi Arabia are women? But they can't work because most women aren't allowed to do so in that country. They also can't drive cars so they couldn't get to a job, either.
Professorial with glasses low upon his nose, Clinton moderated a discussion between Joachim Chissano, former president of Mozambique; Felipe Gonzalez, former prime minister of Spain; Roza Otunbayeva, former president of Kyrgyzstan; and Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland.
It was the first time that the Club de Madrid held its annual conference in Little Rock, the place Clinton called home before winning the White House. Club de Madrid, an independent nonprofit created to promote democracy and change in the international community, is the world's largest group of former heads of state and government.
He listened intently as Chissano talked about a change in gender roles in Mozambique once women picked up guns and fought beside their countrymen. Clinton's love for Ireland was also apparent as he addressed Robinson. The rumor here is that Clinton may want the U.S. ambassadorship to Ireland. (Then again, his admirers here also say he may want the U.N. ambassador spot, though no former U.S. president has ever held the post.)During a visit to Ireland in November, he said, "I could run for president of Ireland." That is, if only he owned a home there.

SeaCart 26 OD
There seems to be a serious boat speed contest going on with the tris and the cats. Oceanlake Marine's entry into this race is its new SeaCart 26 OD designed by Marc Lombard and built in Thailand. This is a 26-foot folding trimaran designed for a crew of three or four. Two boats can be packed into a standard 40-foot container.
The main hull shape shows a spray knocker running full length and a wave-piercing bow. There is considerable rocker to the main hull and there is a large centerboard. The midsection shows the hull flaring out to the knuckle then rolling gently inboard. The amas also have the full-length spray knockers and the wave-piercing bows. The drawings show curved daggerboards in the amas but the specs list these curved boards as options and not part of the one-design rules. The 26 is designed to be sailed on one hull. The displacement of the empty boat is 1,540 pounds. If I add four 180-pound crewmembers to that I get an all-up sailing displacement of 2,260 pounds for a D/L of 57, more than twice that of the SL33. But given the fact that the SeaCart has an extra hull you would expect it to be proportionately heavier. A big part of the appeal of this design will be the easy way it folds up for trailering or shipping.
If we use our four-member crew weight with the SeaCart's 407 square feet of total sail area, we get an SA/D of 37.81. That's a far cry from the SL33's 106 but it is still a lot of sail area. The mast is a single spreader with diamond shroud, carbon rotating "wing" mast. The boom is aluminum. There is a short, retracting bowsprit. The jib furling drum is below the deck.
Construction is vacuum-bagged epoxy and E glass with carbon reinforcing. It would be a lot of fun to get a fleet of these trimarans together to race. They would be ideal on lakes or in harbors. Adventurous sailors could try some coastal racing but besides a low rail that acts as a seatback on each ama there are no amenities.

MLS Offers Up It's Side Of Things
- Posted by Drew Epperley
- On March 11, 2010
- 2 Comments
- CBA Discussions, Mark Abbott, Players Strike
We've waited a little while for a response from the owners and today we finally got it (h/t once again to Steve Goff for the quotes).
MLS president Mark Abbott gives us an indication that the league isn't happy with what the players have said this week about the CBA discussions.
"…the meetings were productive and we have scheduled a number of additional meetings. While I can't discuss what takes place across the bargaining table, I can say that the players' comments do not accurately reflect the proposals that we have made to address the players' concerns or the productive nature of the discussions between MLS and the union.
"We have an understanding with both the union and the mediator that we will not publicly discuss what takes place during these bargaining sessions. As such, we were disappointed to see comments from a number of players characterizing the status of the negotiations and the possibility of a strike."
Players responded to this by saying that their talks of strike were just a matter of showing how unified they are.
All I can say at this point to both sides is get it done people. They aren't just hurting the game here in the States but more importantly they are hurting the fans of the league. Both need to be a little more reasonable with one another here. Hopefully the mediator will get them there.

I've often been intimidated by the butternut squash. What the heck do I do with that thing? But I love squash, so here's what I've always done. I'll buy a butternut squash, get all excited and bring it home and sit it on the counter and stare at it.
That's it.
Because what the heck do you do?
I imagine back to the days of the neanderthals. How did they know to crack it open and what to do with it? I often wonder about how many foods were discovered, like the coconut. Who first looked at that thing and thought to crack it open? Well, ok, a coconut probably fell from a tree, bonked some neanderthal on the noggin, cracked open, and while all his buddy nomads bust a gut laughing at him, he scooped it up and...licked it? I don't know?!
They must have gotten to where they saw something, anything, and cracked it open. Everything was edible on the inside. Even the hunters, kill the animal, crack it open and eat.
It makes you wonder how many mistakes or mishaps there were with cracking and eating. Maybe there was a designated taster, the village idiot. Sent to be the first taster, and as long as he didn't die, it was safe to eat.
These are the things I wonder about.
Well, this time I finally bought a butternut squash and figured out what to do with it and oh what I've been missing out on! Soooooo good. I mean real good! Give it a go!
1 1/2 lb butternut, buttercup, or banana squash (banana squash? Never heard of it!)
1 large onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 tbsp butter or margarine
1 medium pear, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tbsp fine dry bread crumbs
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 tbsp melted butter or margarine
Peel the squash (!) and slice crosswise into 1/2 inch slices. Remove and discard seeds. Set squash aside. (I love when recipes tell you to set something aside)
Cook onion rings in the 1 tbsp hot butter for 5-10 minutes until tender.
Arrange half the squash slices in the bottom of an 8x8x2 inch baking dish. Top with half the pear slices. Repeat layers. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Cover with cooked onions. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree oven about 45 minutes or until nearly tender.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and 1 tbsp melted butter, sprinkle over vegetables. Bake, uncovered, about 15 minutes more or until tender.
The original recipe calls for also putting in 2 tbsp walnuts with the bread crumbs which is probably really tasty but I didn't have any so I left that bit out. Served with slow cooker parmesan chicken and mashed cauliflower.

Why does online matter?
The Internet is an integrated part of our culture, a routine element of the landscape and the number one source of information. Information that once put online remains there forever and becomes in many cases a public record.
There are now over 2 billion internet users (and growing) accessing this information. As a result the presence in the online landscape is not an option but a must.
Why should I work with you and not a digital agency?
The Internet changes the way we communicate. It is now as easy to create content as it is o consume it. And that is the important part of what is happening.
The basic rules of communication haven't changed, but targeted communication became more important in the marketing mix and the classic "offline" approach is no longer sufficient, unless adapted to the new technologies.
Nowadays PR is not about clipbooks but about reaching and interacting with your customers while measuring the impact of each communication action.
How does SMA PR benefit from your affiliation with SMA Online?
As a part of Serban & Musneci Associates (SMA), we benefit from the expertise and experience of one of the most reputable Corporate Communication and Reputation Management companies in Romania.
How can SMA Online solutions help my business?
We use our mix of communication and technical skills to help brands take advantage of the opportunities which the online environment provides. By integrating online communication in the business strategy we are able to:
Qualify leads, convert and sell!
Efficiently reach and engage those talking about, and more importantly, with you.
Interact directly with online media, your customers and prospects.
Support and significantly extend the reach and impact of advocated causes.
Manage your online reputation.
Significantly reduce costs associated with traditional offline media.

Basically I'm Fine
DIDASCALIS - BASICALLY I'M FINE: the "second half" of LOSS
As announced at the release of the second Didascalis work (LOSS), BASICALLY I'M FINE it is the subsequent closing of a period of work, composition and methodical.
The "new" tracks were made in different years with different intentions, and some rebuilt especially for this release.
The guests / collaborators are now limited to my friend and trusted musical partner Andrea 'Andy G' Guerrini, which embellishes with his trumpet and flugelhorn 3 of the 10 tracks.
A brief note, as my usual, on each "paragraph" of this auditory read...
EXCUSE ME ... WHERE'S THE OASIS? and WAITING are part of the pre-Didascalis era, when the first compositions were played exclusively live ... and only for a droll mistake I can say that they are "first cousins", since WAITING is born by the wrong use of the EMWTO? Pattern, during the long wait for a musician friend who had gone to his car to take the sax ....! (2002 approx), the similarity is no accident ...
once decided to make the studio version I thought it appropriate and adequate recall something of "desert" in the first one, playing a short and simple solo with the instrument I'm graduated in: the oboe.
While in the second I entrusted the task to Andy G.
When I was asked to make the cover of a song that was the soundtrack of a James Bond movie, for a chill-out compilations dedicated entirely to the music of 'the spy licensed to kill', (Licensed To Chill - MODA Music Fashion November 24, 2008), I picked up one of the bands to which I'm more linked by a matter of age, that is Duran Duran.
For reasons of time I made it very quickly, but I've decided anyway to re-release it in a moreDidascalisy context without modification, for those who have not heard it yet.
HYPNOSIS and BY THE END belong to the Noises Beyond period (www.facebook.com/noisesbeyond), but for some reason are not finished on that project. HYPNOSIS would have a slight taste to the Thievery Corporation sound, and BY THE END is the "second part" of WHAT IF (LOSS), where I began to experience with a higher bmp than my usual.
LIFE IS A TAPE (03/14/2007) I believe is the gem of this small handful of songs. The "demo", as it was, did not get through the opinion of my publisher, and then remained in storage for quite a while.
Played new, re-arranged in 2011, was sent to Andy G for "curiosity" saying that "the song was already well done and finished "....
I was wrong.
Now it is. (Thanks Andy ...)
SOMETHING I FORGOT is part of an attempt I did to make music for documentary that never came to fruition.
Failed attempt, so much that I had forgotten to have it made, hence the title....
BASICALLY I'M FINE has to do with the usual questions to be asked about heart, about relationships, about being in love or alone, in which "basically you're fine."
It should have a different sound, inspired by a song that had kidnapped my heart at that time (late October 2008), but my pop soul had it better...
or worse ?....
A STRANGE AFTERNOON was the very first experiment (just before MEMORIES - BMOASSB -), experimenting and playing with the first virtual instruments (2001 approx).
Revived in 2011, keeping just the harmonic structure, I gave it a little more chill and less funky taste, and since the first version muted trumpet solo (with a fake one) I said to myself "why not put a real trumpet on, since I know one of the best trumpet player in Romagna ???".
The result came out really nice, and along with LIFE IS A TAPE can be said to be "the two real news of the entire unreleased material"....
BUT NOT TONIGHT, second cover present in BIF was born just the time of a night because of one person, in 2007, and frankly should not even be a song of Didascalis repertoire.
This derives also from the mood in which it was sung.
Initially it was just a mixture of pads and vocals, played almost ad libitum;
later, on recommendation of friends, I completed the arrangement, and I think it deserves to be heard.
As mentioned previously BASICALLY I'M FINE, closes a period and marks the third chapter in DIDASCALIS discography, confirming a more unique sound, although contaminated by so many artists and inspirations of all kinds.
In digital download from 3rd February 2012 to AltaModa.
released 10 February 2012
Lyrics, sounds, vocals, occasional electric bass & production: Davide Marani
guest musician:

John Beilein Quotes
12 John Beilein quotes:
"We learned at Syracuse that we had to attack inside and outside for scoring success. It's rare that you see a game where we shoot twenty-some percent (from 3-point range) and win."
"It felt like 10 years ago that we had beaten a really good team. We didn't have that quality win yet."
"What's good about it is we played both Pitt and Louisville the past two weeks. We'll be prepared to make the final adjustments Thursday afternoon."
"Tonight's game wasn't about who had better players or better coaches. That shot was all about luck. We had some good luck and they had some bad."
"He's a one in a million kid. With English as his second language, it's certainly a unique situation."
"He's really done a tremendous job. For them to have the wins they've had, to win at Syracuse. Villanova was not a win for them, but it was a heck of a loss."
"He's getting there, ... It's going to take a lot of hard work. Our hope is that Kevin will be able to outrun and out-condition the centers we play against. He's going to play a lot of minutes if he can do that."
"We couldn't have done it without the crowd. It's a lot easier to dive for those loose balls when the crowd's behind you."
"It seems like a year ago that we played. I don't know if it's an advantage playing a team a second time."

cliffs of moher
Ever since joining Pinterest, I have come across pictures of the Cliffs of Moher and have become obsessed with visiting them. But when I looked it up on Google Maps, I saw that it was on the opposite coast from Dublin and I didn't think the chances of visiting the Cliffs would be very likely if I ever visited Ireland. However, I was determined to at least try and even went as far as getting my international driver's permit from AAA before I left, but the idea of me driving on the opposite side of the road across Ireland didn't make my mom too excited. So, instead we found a day tour that took us from Dublin to the Cliffs and back.
Our tour included a one hour walking tour of the city of Galway, lunch in Doolin, two hours at the Cliffs and hours of driving through the beautiful Irish countryside. I was glad we decided to take the tour instead of driving ourselves, we got so much more out of the tour than we could have imagined and it actually saved us a lot of headache in terms of logistics. It made our last day in Ireland a relaxing one rather than one spent trying to learn how to drive on the opposite side of the road and getting lost in the Irish countryside. After we got back from the tour I went out one last time to the Temple Bar district where I danced and sang the night away with the same group of people I had met the night before.

Pumpkin pies may be in short supply after heavy summer rains
There may be a few less jack-o-lanterns and pumpkin pies this fall after Hurricane Irene and the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee caused major flooding across the Northeast.
At Terry Jones' farm in Shelton, he says the flooding damaged a part of his 25 acres of pumpkins."During Irene we had about 7 inches of rain and then it was, gosh, a week later and we had another 7 inches," says Jones.
He says the flooding and the overall wet summer have likely led to the shortage of pumpkins in the area.
Fortunately, he says his farm was mostly spared and it will be hosting a fall festival starting this weekend with plenty of pumpkins to pick from.

On your next travel adventure, be sure to pack the Fort Knox of socks! They come with a secret pocket large enough to conceal your passport, cash, and other valuables. The zipper is made of nylon, so it won't set off metal detectors, and it rests just above the hem of your pant leg, making it essentially invisible to pickpockets. The socks are crafted from soft, eco-friendly bamboo yarn, making them comfy soft for long days of walking. And they wick so well that, not only will they keep your feet cool and dry, but also, if you wash them out at night, they'll be dry by morning. Made in California.
In 1998 Evan Papel embarked on a European trek across over 9 countries. Somewhere in Italy, Evan's pocket was picked and he lost his money and passport. The crisis was resolved after sidetracking several days of his trip, but the inspiration came from this incident, as well as a huge beer at the Haufbrauhause in Munich!
Still haven't found the details you're looking for? Check out our Product Q&A!
Please note: This item is not available to ship outside of the U.S.
I bought these for an international trip and found it very practical. The pocket was comfortable and the passport fit in fine. I used them on my big travel days and the bamboo yarn is very soft. I wore them one other time during the trip when I had tall boots on and didn't need a purse. Winner.

Kollel Iyun Hadaf, Jerusalem
(a) Rebbi learns from "Be'ulas Ba'al" that only her husband makes her a Be'ulah through a Bi'ah she'Lo ke'Darkah, but not someone else. Rebbi Zeira reconciles this with the Beraisa (which we quoted a little earlier), where Rebbi commutes the sentence of the subsequent nine adulterers to Chenek - by confining the D'rashah from "Be'ulas Ba'al" to K'nas (when she is not an Arusah, but not to their death-penalty, when she is).2) We just explained how according to Rebbi, a husband renders a woman a Be'ulah (even though others don't) from "Be'ulas Ba'al". Rebbi Yochanan (who derives Kidushei Bi'ah from there), learns that a husband renders a woman a Be'ulah (even though others don't) from the expression "Be'ulas Ba'al" (when the Torah should otherwise have written "Be'ulas Ish").
(a) One of the ramifications of the She'eilah whether it is the beginning of Bi'ah (Ha'ara'ah) that acquires the woman or the end is, if, should she accept Kidushin from another man between the two, the second Kidushin is valid or not. The other one concerns a Kohen Gadol - whether he is permitted to acquire a wife through Bi'ah. Because, by the time he concludes the Bi'ah, she is already a Be'ulah, and, assuming that he did not acquire her at the time of Ha'ara'ah, he will not fulfil his obligation of marrying a Besulah.4)
(a) The Tana of the Beraisa list the rights of a father in his daughter. The three rights that he has over and above those concerning the Kesef, Sh'tar and Bi'ah of her Kidushin and concerning her Get are - in what she finds, in what she produces and regarding unnuling her Nedarim.5)
(a) Rava too, tries to resolve the She'eilah from a Beraisa. The Beraisa says 'Miskadeshes be'Bi'ah, ve'Im Ba Alehah Yavam, Kan'ah ve'Chayavin Alehah Mishum Eishes Ish' - about a girl who has turned three.6) If the girl who is over three marries a Kohen, she is permitted to eat Terumah, and if one of the Arayos has relations with her, *he* is Chayav even though she is not. We refute Rava's proof from the fact that this Tana too, after mentioning Bi'ah, adds 've'Im Niseis le'Kohen ... ' (implying that Bi'ah makes Eirusin) - by explaining it to mean that if the aforementioned Nisu'in (through Bi'ah) was to a Kohen, she may eat Terumah.
7) We learn from the Pasuk ...
1. ... "Kinyan Kaspo Hu Yochal Bo" - that whatever belongs to the Kohen, such as his Eved Cana'ani, may eat Terumah.8)
(a) ben Bag-Bag sent to Rebbi Yehudah ben Beseira querying what he had heard in his name - that an Arusah bas Yisrael to a Kohen is permitted to eat Terumah.9)
(a) With regard to the 'Kal va'Chomer' (regarding learning an Arusah bas Yisrael from a Shifchah Cana'anis, the Tana cannot be speaking ...10)1. ... when both the Bi'ah and the Kesef were followed by Chupah - because then Kesef would feed her Terumah, too.(b) So we attempt to establish the Beraisa - when both are speaking when there was no Chupah, proving that Bi'ah makes Chupah (otherwise why would it be more obvious that Bi'ah acquires more than Kesef?
(a) According to Ravina, ben Bag-Bag concedes that min ha'Torah, an Arusah bas Yisrael is permitted to eat Terumah. The message that he sent to Rebbi Yehudah ben Beseira was - that he was surprised that he did not forbid it because of 'Simpon' (perhaps he will find some blemish on her which will render the Kidushin invalid, nullifying her right to eat Terumah retroactively).Next daf

Real Or Fake?
However many have debated whether the video is fake or not.
At first it shows an American woman holding a gun squatting next to the deceased feline as a man programs a camera to take a photo before joining her.
'Let's get a few shots for the wall at home, huh?' he laughs.
They then hold up their guns – both weapons and biceps – before the man returns to the camera. But as he does so, and the lady contemplates her 'trophy', another lion suddenly appears and the woman shrieks in terror as she panics and runs for her life.
'F**k!' the man yells, also fleeing towards their vehicle as the big cat leaps dramatically over the dropped camera and out of sight.
A piercing scream can be heard followed by two gunshots and the sound of a car speeding off. In the eerie silence that follows the lion stalks back into view – clearly unharmed by bullets – and off into the distance.
It is unclear what happened to two people.
Jayden Tanner, who uploaded the amazing footage, captioned '#stoptrophyhunting', to YouTube wrote: 'I managed to get my hands on this video when I was in South Africa a couple of months ago, a hunter showed me and thought it was hilarious.
'For me this video highlights a distressing situation that the world needs to see.
'Every year trophy hunters kill thousands of exotic wild animals in Africa, this combined with poaching poses a serious threat to the survival of our most loved and endangered species. We have to stop this now.
'Animals are also bred in captivity for the sole purpose of being hunted by tourists who are willing to pay the high price tag, a lion hunt can cost a trophy hunter up to $35'000.
'We need to raise awareness around this issue. Please share and save our wildlife.'
While the video is undoubtedly entertaining, several online commentators have confidently declared it a fake.

On a bright and breezy morning in April, 1936 I set off on my mother's Triumph bike for my first job in the creamery in Ballaghaderreen. The hours were from 9 to 6 and for that I got four pound a month which was very good at the time My first job was to make ice cream, but I Had many other duties to do also, bringing buckets of boiling water up 20 cement steps, washing out the big vats after the cream was in the churn and having to scrub them out with a scrubbing brush and "biddy" soap. I never had a dry foot, indeed my silk stockings (fish net) did not last long. Rinsing out acid bottles after testing the milk samples ruined them. During that first week my bike was stolen from an open shed at home, it had no mud guards and only the front brake worked but it did have good leather in the saddle. The tragedy was that my father had paid six shillings to get it in working order. Going to the creamery in 1934 for the farmer took a good deal of time. There was no such thing as tractors or cars for most of the farmers, so they joned in groups of 6 so that each farmer would have to go to the creamery only one day per week. Each man could look forward to his day. They would wait along the Lazy Wall, as it was called, with their asses and carts to have their milk tested and weighed. This gave the farmers the opportunity to catch up on all the local and international news. During that time the Spanish Civil War was the subject discussed. I remember the young boys used to accompany their fathers. It was a test of their manhood to be able to lift a milk can full of milk off the cart and empty into a creamery vat single handed. The day the young man achieved that task there would be plenty of back slapping and good natured banter between the different farmers, as for the youth in question, he seemed to grow a foot taller after such an achievement. The farmer supplied the evenings and mornings milk for 6 days. The Saturday night milk and Sunday morning was kept by the farmer's wife to churn herself so she had home-made butter for the week. During the week the early morning milk had to be cooled, as the evening milk had been standing in a container of cold spring water and if fresh milk was put in on cold milk it would curdle. If a farmer arrived at the creamery with curdled milk and it had gone into separators, it would delay deliveries for the day. -all the separators would have to be cleaned out. The offending farmer was given a note on hygienic preparation of milk, this caused acute embarrassment to him as it showed him up as a bad farmer; as a result it did not happen often. At that time the Creamery was the only Industry in Ballaghaderreen, and the Creamery Committee thought it would help the housewife to get a good market for her eggs so they built an egg store. There were over 500 milk suppliers and they got a cheque on the 15th of each month; they also got a dividend at the end of the year as they were all share-holders. The old Creamery was at the back of St. Mary's Hall opposite the cathedral. The new committee decided to build a new Creamery and it was opened in 1908 beside the railway bridge. If the farmer did not skim the milk off the creamery can for his morning cup of tea he would get a good price. Depending on the test the farmer would get two and a half pence, three and a half pence, four and a half pence per gallon. When the egg store opened there had to be personnel trained by the Department of Agriculture, otherwise they could not export eggs. The manager, Ned Doherty, made arrangements with the department to give a course in the creamery for about eight weeks. Twenty people attended from all over Ireland. There were only four or five boys on the course and the rest were young girls like myself. I remember one girl came from Aran Islands. She had very poor English. During the course we learned all the good things about eggs. How it was good for baby and also hard working men alike. We never heard about salmonella or cholesterol. We lived on eggs, cream and butter. We learned how to test eggs, how to kill and pluck chickens and turkeys and to prepare them for the oven. We studied hard and got our certificates from the Department stating that we were trained to the highest degree. It was worth more than an honours Leaving Cert as we could now get a job in any part of Ireland. What was nice, our jobs were secure. If eggs were scarce the management could not sack us otherwise they would lose the license to export eggs. As the boys went on to Agricultural Colleges and became Inspectors they ensured that our jobs were safe as then there were fewer testers available. Mc Arthur's bread van called every day to the creamery. A plain loaf was three and a half pence, rich fruit cake six pence, seed cake six pence and buns one penny each. Currant buns as big as saucers were only one penny. Down at Shouldices, under the Railway Bridge, we bought our tea at one shilling per half pound, a pound of sugar two pence, and eggs, one penny each. The housewife who supplied the eggs got four shillings for 120 eggs and sometimes five shillings. Butter was ½ per lb. and one shilling to suppliers in the creamery. Bacon was six pence to nine pence per lb. a doctor at that time said one person could live well and be well fed properly on 6 to 8 shillings per week. That is 30 pence to 40 pence in today's money The Irish Independent was one penny. Woman's Own was two pence. We followed the romance of Wallis Simpson as she waited for the Prince who would renounce his throne for the woman he loved. Thinking about my days in the creamery brings back so many fond memories. I remember on one occasion a very serious young boy from Barrack Street came into the store for one dozen eggs. I was alone at the time and rushed up to the store to get a bag to put the eggs in. as I was going up the store I hit the weighing scale and cut my forehead just above my eye. The blood came pouring out. It seems that your man did not have a strong stomach, as he fainted. As I looked at him through blood spotted glasses I thought he was dead. Bea Regan came in and can you imagine the chock she got- I covered in blood and a young man stretched on the floor dead to the world. She did not know what to do On another occasion I was sent out to the bread van for a turn-over loaf. The bread-man asked me did I want a turnover or a roll over! I was so confused I did not know what I wanted one morning a woman came in with her daughter to see the manager. She was looking to get a job for her. While she was there the dairymaid took some butter from the churn to weigh it. In doing so she dropped some on the floor. The daughter of the woman thought she would help so she went over and picked up the butter with thick woollen gloves. The dairymaid let such a roar out of her that mother and daughter did not wait to see the manager about the job. I used to go to Lily Carty in Chapel Lane (Cathedral Street) who was the hairdresser. The style then was eton crop (or shingle) much the same style as ex minister Gemma Hussey has now. In Duff's you could get beautiful cotton material at six pence per yard and a lovely taffeta and lovely heavy satin in different colours for blouses and evening dresses for one and six per yard. We always liked to be ready for gentlemen callers and for the Directors Dance in Swinford or the Military Officers Dance in Athlone where the men all wore white gloves or the Hospital Dance and dinner in Castlerea at Christmas Excursions to Sligo every second Sunday for two shillings return and to Strandhill for six pence where you could get high tea for one shilling and six pence. Woolworths in Sligo where everything was left on the counter and every article was just six pence each. We could get lipstick and powder and no one would say you are too young for make-up. There will never be times like those again.

There are many people who qualify for government benefits but are reluctant to use them do to pride issues. What they don't understand is often if they just took government benefits such as SNAP, food stamps, medicaid, medicare, or disability that they would change their financial situation forever and begin to save money.
The strategy to save money using government benefits involves simple logic. If you are currently living in a moderate standard for yourself and are barely making ends meet, then you can use government benefits to subsidize things such as your food and medical costs. For instance, if somebody had a month worth of bills that was a total of $2500 and $500 was in food costs, taking a government benefit such as SNAP or food stamps would enable that person to save $500 a month.
If you can apply this strategy to other things such as LIHEAP which is where you get discounted or free electricity, Medicaid, or even TANF benefits, you will see an instant increase on how much money you can save by using government benefits.
Truly the only thing keeping people from doing these things are for pride issues. Just remember that the government setup these benefit programs and if you directly qualify why not take advantage of it even if you absolutely don't need to? Sometimes you can take a benefit such as SNAP and simply let it help you accrue wealth over time and save money.

Still, when you're strangeEarlier this year, during my darker days of excess, I had another story reminiscent of ghostly occurrences in my mum's bar. This one's totally unforgettable, not just because it happened overseas, but because I nearly lost my mind after my encounter with them. Think I'm exaggerating?
Well, read on...
I'd moved into a house with a friend of mine, when things started to happen. The music would come on upstairs for no reason. Then there were windows shutting and closing, doing daft things, and then the Banham locks started shutting, closing. The Banham locks…..
Do you get the sheer impossibility of Banham locks moving on their own?
Then tables would move in front of me. Furniture would move around. People would run up and down stairs and it got to the point at night where they were running around the bottom of my bed. Now, these may be delusions, drug- induced psychosis or whatever because I was pissed a lot at the time. But anyway, the friend would say, "Don't be silly, go to sleep", but I couldn't, so I'd take a bottle of vodka to bed with me to get to sleep and sleeping tablets. Then I'd wander around the house with the bottle going, "Come on yer daft bashtards, yer don't shcare me", because nothing scares you when you're pissed. It got to the point when they were running around my bed one night and I said, "I'm going, I'm off".
I thought they were in the air each time I went down to the pub. Anyway, I went and left and stayed at the Swiss Cottage Marriott Hotel.
I was telling the story to a new friend I met in a bar, a good friend now.
"If it had stayed with me, I would have had to kill myself, it was that bad."
The friend just looked at me blankly. I thought, "Okay, he thinks I'm a nutcase. Go on, say something."
But he just looked at me, and then finally he said,
"I didn't suffer it for two weeks, I suffered it for seven years and it put me in a coma. What did you say you did? Me too. I moved out and I went to the Swiss Cottage Marriott Hotel."
It emerged that my friend had been staying in the same road. It was some land the Duke of Westminster had bought off the church. It turned out to have a Black Death burial site underneath it.
- Next stop, the lady from the vacant lot. But first, ciggy break. -
