Warren Partners join the Criticaleye HR Director Retreat. March 2014
The notion of belonging is one of the four so called ordering principles that the eminent psychotherapist Bert Hellinger and others talk of. Our rational brains might get caught up in the notion of "what is belonging?" but at any moment in any place, we instinctively know whether we belong or not. This equally applies to our work and non-work lives: it could be the organisation we work in or consult with, any social groupings or clubs we are part of, or the community or country where we live. It is a fundamental part of being a human being that we need to belong and we notice when we don't belong.
Monthly Reflections Blog: Women leaders and ruthlessness.
Why is it that there are still not enough women in senior leadership positions? It's clearly highly complex and I am offering just one perspective on it.
Monthly Reflections Blog: CEO and Board Directors: the shame involved in learning.
Our expertise is in supporting CEOs, Board Directors and senior leadership teams to learn. In order to learn, we often need to unlearn. Being open to the possibility of learning when you are already successful is both essential and really tough at the same time. As a CEO said to me recently: "if I am honest, I think I know. Generally I think I am right". And the truth is that he probably is right, whatever that means, a lot of the time. Otherwise he would not have become a CEO. But the very statement sends a shiver down my leadership development coaching spine!

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments (Habakkuk 3:17-19).
I'm often amazed at how some Christians easily give up and succumb to life's challenges. You've got to understand that if you're a child of God, you aren't a victim! In the scripture above the prophet described a dire situation, yet choose to rejoice in the Lord all the same: "Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places..." In other words, although there was a problem, the prophet wasn't moved by what he saw, felt or perceived.
This should be your attitude as well. The story isn't complete until you've won! Things may not be going the way you expect at the moment, but don't despair. Reiterate your trust in God by giving Him praise for doing all things well. Tell yourself, "I'm not giving up" and begin to rejoice in the Lord God of your salvation.
Remember Paul and Silas? Things couldn't have looked more hopeless for them as they huddled in chains in the dark dungeon of that maximum security Roman prison. But instead of cringing in fear and hopelessness, they decided to praise God, and you know the rest of the story (Acts 16:23-36).
It's time for you to praise God like you've never done before. You may not feel like it, but praise Him anyway, because that's where victory lies! It's not over yet! Put your trust in God. Worship Him in spirit and in truth and He'll inhabit your praise and bring you His power to bear on your situation.
Dear Father, thank you for giving me hope in Christ Jesus. Thank you for the quiet confidence I have that things will always turn out for my good, no matter the challenging situation I may face. I declare that I'm a victor in Christ Jesus and will never be disadvantaged, for the Lord is my God, and the strength of my life! Thank you for giving me the mindset of a champion and a victor, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Designing a website can seem like a daunting task! How can you make a website that catches someone's eye the first time they visit it? How do you start learning the necessary programming languages? The article below details ways to produce a website that looks amazing and effectively promotes your business or product.
The graphics you use are important. Bitmap images require a lot of disk space and are unwieldy. For non-photographic graphics choose a PNG if the graphic has less than 256 colors. Otherwise, choose a GIF. For photographs, opt for JPEGs.
A tagline should be shown in full view on your website. This is a statement or motto to define your business. Making use of clear taglines becomes important when the page is visited. You have a short amount of time to catch the visitor's attention and get them hooked.
Incorporate a search function that lets visitors find what they need. Those searching for specific information will instantly scan for a search option. If there is no search box, they are not going to take the time to look through all your content. They are just going to move on. People look for these search boxes in the top right corner of the page, so place the search box in that area.
Don't overload a website with more graphics and photos than necessary. Graphics are important, but too many can yuck things up. Graphics should improve your site, not just pretty it up. Having the right amount of graphics that don't clutter the design can improve the site's usability, too.
Make sure that you regularly remove outdated and inaccurate content from your website. If your home page features an event that already took place, people will not be interested in reading more of your content. The average online user values fresh content and attention to detail. Set a schedule to review the site, to ensure that outdated information is removed, and fresh new content is added in its place.
In order to provide the clean yet effective site you have created in your mind, you need to purchase a site building and design program that offers the tools you require. Many of these programs are user friendly and will aid you in creating a professional website quickly. If your website looks sloppy and unappealing, there will be many visitors who don't bother coming back.
Reading this article is a great start, so consider printing it out and going over it a few times to absorb it's content. By continuing your education, and learning new techniques, you can outpace your rivals, and distinguish yourself.

Take the best part of a leg of veal and of a leg of pork, of each three pounds; skin it well, and cut it into small dice. Take three pounds of the best beef suet (the proportion of which you may increase or diminish according to your taste,) skin it well; add a little sage, and chop it all together as fine as forcemeat. When chopped, put in six or seven eggs and a quarter of a pound of cold water, and season to your liking with pepper and salt. Work it up as if you were kneading dough for bread; roll it out in the form of sausages, and let the pan you fry them in be hot, with a bit of butter in it.

As I mentioned in yesterday's Life with Lynnie (LwL) entry, I had a busy day, Wednesday.
By the time I arrived home, from celebrating my granddaughter A's 2nd birthday, I was absolutely, exhausted. Worn out, beyond belief!
After completing some preparations for my trip to London, Ontario, which was my agenda for the following morning, I headed to bed. Believe it or not, I was in bed by 9:00 p.m.! lol
I'm not sure if my head hit the pillow, before I was asleep. However, I can tell you that when I awoke to my alarm clock's calling at 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning, I felt rested and ready for the day. Praise God! Thank You, Jesus!
Once again, I decided to do double-duty with my daughter P.
I needed to return to London, to approach other bookstores to offer for sale my book, Love Never Fails You... Here's a LINK where you can see a sample of my writing and information on how to obtain a copy.
P needed to go to a hospital in London, once again. This time, not for her own need, but rather, for the need of her two (2) youngest sons, Z and S.
Thursday morning began well for me. After preparing to leave, I wondered why I hadn't yet heard from P. So, I called her. Both of us were shocked that P's alarm had not gone off!
This meant we were leaving much later than we had originally planned. Eventually, she arrived at my apartment building, with family in tow.
Enroute, after praying for travelling mercies and more, we made it onto Hwy. # 401. Staying calm, I prayed that God would provide for us to arrive on time for the first specialist's appointment.
Then, something not-so-great happened. P had told me in the past, that she had never been forced to leave the highway, due to the police closing it down.
Certainly, this is more common during the winter, usually during a snowstorm. But, this wasn't the time for such a thing to happen.
Still, it happened! Apparently, there had been a police chase during the night. The car being chased, was eventually stopped, but not before it crashed, toppling over. Hence, the reason the police had shut this portion of the highway.
Traffic jam happened, of course. Eventually, we made it back on the highway. P called the doctor's office and let them know we would be late.
Then, she called me lead foot Lynnie! Hey! I know I shouldn't have done so, but I just went with the flow of the traffic, who had also been delayed by the road closure.
All in all, I was thankful it was a productive day, for all of us! I did all I had planned to do, and more. P had good results from both Z and S's medical appointments!
Z's tumour in his arm bone, has not grown; he won't need another scan until next year. S's pediatric heart specialist and her team, decided to wait another year to reconsider surgery on S's heart.
Praise God! Thank You, Jesus! For the good results and for providing for all our needs!
Until next time...

While the Gold Coast has been synonymous with swimwear since Paula Stafford pretty much invented the bikini back in the 195o's, an innovative industry program to nurture new designers, the only one of its kind in Australia, is putting the city firmly at the forefront of a now burgeoning fashion sector (swimwear, resort & active wear) set to be worth $20 billion globally by 2020.
And the designs are exciting, says one of Australia's top fashion stylists Kimberley Gardener, who oversees David Jones' national fashion shoots and was brought to the glamour strip by the Gold Coast Swim Fashion Festival (GC-SFF) to style-up the city's best emerging talent.
"It just makes so much sense to have an emerging designer's program like this and I can't believe that it isn't being done anywhere else in Australia. The Gold Coast absolutely has the opportunity to shine in the swim and resort wear niche," says Kimberly.
Even with so many different designs to choose from it can be daunting to select a style that flatters your figure and suits your summer lifestyle – whether lounging by the pool, swimming at the beach or getting active outdoors. And the thought of braving those change rooms, eek!
Just as well Gold Coast designers have you covered (or not so much) in a vast array of styles – from active-wear that holds everything in and sheer and floaty resort-wear cover-ups, sleek one-piece designs and retro-influenced two-pieces that cover a bit more, to sporty and skimpy bikinis.
"Don't be too hard on yourself – in ten year's you'll be saying 'what was I worried about!" is Kimberly's advice for braving swimsuit selection. "Stand in front of the mirror and try on about 20 designs – the Gold Coast has so much variety."
For designers it's also about having confidence in their own skin in a competitive on and offline world, according to fashion business mentor Liz Parsons of Wyse Lifestyle, a Gold Coast brand with 20 year of success behind it.
"When we started out there was virtually no internet and no social media but nothing really has changed in terms of the need to find your niche, know who you are and what you want to give as a designer and then pursue that gap in the market – and don't forget retail," says Liz.
For Liz, who has evolved from designing underwear to complete lifestyle collections, it has always been about their signature environmentally friendly fabric and the concept of helping customers build on basic pieces, season by season, as trends change and customers age.
"It's not just about saying 'I want to be a designer' – they have to be driven by wanting to help people – it's about heart and passion," says Liz.
For the new crop of 15 designers 'the riches are in the niches', or at least they hope they will be – from Kate Davis Steer with her SunSoaked label that provides stylish sun-safe wear, inspired by her own brush with melanoma, and which is now finding an export market in Indonesian luxury resorts, to designer Robyn Surmon, a single Mum of two with Multiple Schlerosis (MS) whose children's label Tayla-lu is growing fast and who is being assisted to manufacture in China by Suzie Gennari of TOGS, a brand that has enjoyed significant export success with swimwear designed to flatter any shape. Pluss Activewear is filling an important market to help plus-size women feel comfortable exercising.
The full scale fashion shoot involved professional photographers, TV crew, make-up artists and models with the swimwear showcased on the beach, and poolside at Pepper's Soul Surfers Paradise. Kimberly Gardner chose a signature piece from each designer that would help them make their individual statement.
"I wanted to pick a piece from each collection that stood out and showed the diversity of the Gold Coast – I didn't want to tell the same story," she says.
"To me it is the visual – if I don't like a design, I won't look further, but they need to have a good story behind it too, research to find the right market and be persistent in seeking editorial."
Director of Gold Coast Swim Fashion Festival Leanne St George has developed a program that is much more than a chance to get some nice product marketing images – it's about giving designer's access to top industry talent and knowledge across styling, photography (by award-winning photography Brian Usher of Ocean Road Magazine), marketing, social media and general business operations including comprehensive sessions by TAFE Gold Coast, to an awards fashion show scheduled for June 2106.
An emerging designer's trade show will be held in June, while GC-SFF fashion shows are scheduled for November 2016.
"Unless we invest in the future of the resort and swim industry, we have no industry. The Gold Coast is famous for its iconic fashion and resort lifestyle, so we concentrate solely on those fashion categories that Australia is famous for, and that is swim, resort and active," says Leanne.
"I didn't think they would be as advanced as they are – the program that Leanne is running has really brought out their potential and has taken them to the stage where they are ready to meet the market," says Kimberly.

Cilla Black has been paid substantial damages by Mirror Group Newspapers for hacking into her private telephone voicemail messages. The newspaper group accepted that her privacy had been grossly violated by the unlawful practice.
The legendary singer and television presenter started her career as a cloakroom girl at Liverpool's Cavern Club, where she was discovered as a singer by Beatles Manager Brian Epstein.
She rose to fame when her single 'Anyone Who Had a Heart' rose to number one in the 1964 pop charts, news she heard in a telephone box near her home, while not yet being able to afford a phone of her own.
Alongside her recording career, Cilla Black also hosted her own variety show 'Cilla' from 1968 - 1976 and then went on to present 'Blind Date', 1985 – 2001, where she became a household name across the generations.
At the start of her career, she married her soul mate Bobby Willis, who became her manager, until he died from lung cancer in 1999, a devastating loss to the singer. She has admitted to deafness caused by over amplification of music in the Cavern Club, all those years ago.
She spends some time at her home in Barbados, where her great friend Sir Cliff Richard also has a home.

HANOI — Human Rights Watch on Tuesday called on Vietnam to investigate a violent attack on a prominent dissident lawyer involved in a string of anti-China demonstrations.
Le Quoc Quan, who blogs on a range of sensitive topics including civil rights, political pluralism and religious freedom, told AFP he was struck with a steel baton near his Hanoi home on Sunday.
"I was hit three times on my knee, my thigh and my back… I think the police are behind the attack," he said, adding that he believed the incident was meant to discourage his activism in the one-party communist state.
"It will have a counter-effect," Quan said. "I do nothing wrong. What I am working for is good. Why should I not keep working?"
There was no immediate comment from the Vietnamese authorities.
Quan, a Catholic in the majority Buddhist nation, was jailed for three months in 2007 for participating in "activities to overthrow the people's government" but was released following protests from the United States.
In addition to his blogs, he was heavily involved in a string of anti-China demonstrations last year over Beijing's territorial claims in the South China Sea.
Vietnamese lawyers, bloggers and activists are regularly subject to arbitrary arrest and detention, according to New York-based Human Rights Watch, which said Quan was being targeted for his work.
"Le Quoc Quan has continuously sought to use his legal skills to represent those being persecuted for asserting their rights, and now he's become a target," HRW deputy director Phil Robertson told AFP.
"Top-level leaders in Hanoi need to ensure that the authorities conduct a credible and transparent investigation into this violent attack and hold accountable anyone they find responsible."

This year's joint meeting of the four Ayrshire Family History Societies took place in Kilmarnock on Thursday 12th March, hosted by East Ayrshire FHS. After a warm welcome from the Chairman and brief reports from three of the societies, the speaker Mrs Barr from Carluke was introduced.
We were given a fascinating , well-illustrated presentation on general William Roy, engineer, antiquarian and map maker extraordinaire. Born in 1726 at Miltonhead near Carluke he showed great mathematical ability from an early age, eventually becoming an engineer. One aftermath of the 1745 Rebellion was the enforced pacification of the Highlands, a task for which the Duke of Cumberland needed the Highlands mapped. William Roy, brought in initially as an assistant, was the right man in the right place at the right time. It was a mammoth undertaking for which the skill of accurate measurement was essential. By 1755 Cumberland's maps were completed.
When the war with France broke out, Roy served with the 53rd Regiment of Foot and was involved in the creation of essential military maps, e.g. of Plymouth and Gibraltar. In 1767 for his unique achievements in linear measurement, William Roy was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, a well deserved honour. Although many of his maps, plans, military and scientific reports and letters have been preserved, unfortunately no personal portraits remain apart from the appearance of a distant figure in a painting which it is very tempting to accept as a likeness of this gifted Scot.
It was disappointing that so few attended this jot meeting (only 3 of us were there to represent ASAFHS), and we hope for a better turnout when we take our turn to host a similar occasion in March 2010, in the Carnegie Library.

Sundays in the Bar
Our Sundays in the Bar project uncovered...
Con Club regulars will remember that once upon a time there used to be music in the bar every Sunday afternoon, but eventually and rather sadly it faded away until it stopped completely. But many people missed it and so, 18 months or so ago, a plot was hatched by club members and musicians Kate Turvey and John Marsh to reinstate it, but on a more-manageable, once-a-month basis. Named "Sundays in the Bar" and held every last Sunday of the month (except during the August holidays), the idea was and still is to create a true club atmosphere with an eclectic mix of good quality live music, where both the artists and the audience really get to communicate with each other - sort of Unplugged and Up-Close. As a quieter, more intimate complement to the full-on music nights in the function room, with an emphasis on the community nature of the club.
It's proved a great success, with artists such as Mike Newsham, The Contenders (unplugged), Steve Parsons of Sharks fame, Hanna Burchell (from the Fold), Talitha Rise, Arcelia and many more, giving memorable performances to packed houses.
And now, to whet your appetite, coming up this year in early 2019 we're planning another great selection of live musical entertainment for our Sundays in the Bar, including the following...
Feb 24th 2019 Simon Scardanelli
March 31st 2019 John Forrester
April 28th 2019 (may get rescheduled to 5th May) Stars of Starfish
May 26th 2019 Hanna Burchell
June 30th 2019 Arcelia
Last Sunday of the month 3:30 - 5:30 pm FREE ENTRY All Welcome. Don't miss it!

All posts with the tag Cyber Monday
The stress of the holiday season is intense, and all the more so for eCommerce fraud teams. Soaring order volume means there is less time to thoroughly review orders, and teams that hire seasonal help to keep up with the load have to rely on analysts that are less experienced at the tedious task of uncovering Card Not Present (CNP) fraud. Among the influx of orders are many new customers who present a huge opportunity for merchants, but they can also appear threatening–especially if they're from new and unfamiliar markets. It's crucial for merchants to be prepared for the fraud patterns that are likely to emerge between Black Friday and New Years.
Riskified helps hundreds of eCommerce merchants manage their fraud during the busy holiday season. We've drawn on our experience to present some tips on analyzing and organizing your data, so that your fraud team is situated to optimally handle the surge in orders, drive revenue, minimize false-positive declines, and maintain a smooth shopping experience for your customers.
Read More
November is time to kick-off the holiday shopping season – with online sales volume expected to soar thanks to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We put together a short fraud management checklist for merchants with five steps to help ensure fraud operations don't get in the way of a great shopping experience for your customers and significant revenue for your business:
Define your holiday season goals and KPIs
During the holidays, many more good customers are looking to take advantage of the steep discounts and complete their gift shopping. Our data from last holiday season shows that despite the dramatic spike in the amount of incoming orders, online merchants did not experience an increase in fraud rates relatively to the overall sales volume. So one of the main challenges for fraud prevention and management teams is to avoid chargebacks while making sure you don't reject good customers or negatively impact sales revenue.Read More
The holidays are an intense season for anyone in e-commerce, but those in charge of reviewing incoming orders for fraud really have their work cut out. Not only is there a dramatic increase in the overall orders, but Riskified's data from previous holiday seasons shows that fraud on entry increases significantly as well. Whether this increase in fraud is driven by fraudsters taking advantage of dramatically increased sales or by consumers committing "friendly fraud" due to stringent returns policies, handling these orders correctly is a challenge.
A properly prepped fraud team, armed with the right tools, can help merchants recapture revenue from transactions they might ordinarily decline.
Following are four steps merchants can take to ensure optimal performance during the holidays:
1. Prepare your team for the spike in order volume
The biggest challenge risk management teams face during the holidays is the sudden, dramatic spike of incoming orders. It is imperative that orders be processed expeditiously, otherwise the back-log could have customers waiting several days for order confirmation.
Read More
One of the biggest challenges of managing an operational team is staying one step ahead – spikes in inbound order volume happen throughout the year, and whether the result of the holiday season, promotional sale, or a successful marketing campaign, being proactive is paramount to ensure customer satisfaction and maximize sales conversion.
During these waves, many operational services provide flexible, on-demand solutions that can be activated for a specific period of time, without any disruption to the regular order flow. For example, UPS can provide scaled shipping solutions, and inventory operations, like manufacturing and storage, can adjust their volume and capacity as needed. If you host your shop on an ecommerce platform like Shopify or Magento, for instance, the platforms will automatically launch servers if the site is overloaded with traffic.
An often-overlooked part of an online business that can also benefit from a scalable on-demand solution is risk management and order review. When you suddenly receive an influx of orders, it can be beneficial to have a trustworthy service you can rely on to support the additional load. Once you integrate with such a service, you can begin automatically submitting orders for review, relieving pressure, and giving you peace of mind during high-volume periods.Read More

Mini bio: Robert Neil Mabry
A brief Biography of R. Neil Mabry, to whom this blog is dedicated. This is intentionally very sketchy - I hope to fill in the details in future posts.
Neil was born on May 24, 1902 in St. Elmo in Fayette County, Illinois, to Isaac Paris "Pete" Mabry and Gertie Holben. When he was a young boy, the Mabry family moved to Pana in nearby Christian County. This is where he grew to adulthood.
In 1921 he joined the Army Air Corps as an "aero mechanic". (more posts on this at a later date).
After his discharge from the Army, in 1923, he bought a blacksmith shop west of Decatur in the area called Wyckles or Hank's Corner. By the time of his marriage in 1925, he was manager of the Silver Moon Garage in Decatur (this may actually be the shop in Wyckles).
On November 26, 1925, Neil married Esther Kraus in Columbia, Illinois. They returned to Decatur, where they lived until 1929, when they moved to St. Louis, Missouri.
In St. Louis, Neil helped organize the new airline Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT), which eventually became TWA. He and Esther also ran a small grocery store next to their house, where they lived with their two daughters, Nadine and Jacqueline.
In 1941 Neil went to work for the Civil Aeronautic Adminsitration (now the FAA), inspecting privately owned aircraft, first in Santa Monica, then in Oakland, California. This was short-lived, however. After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in December of that year, Neil was drafted into the Air Force and stationed at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio. There he supervised a number of men in outfitting bombers to fly overseas. After the war ended in 1946, he was discharged with the rank of Major, and returned to California with his family to his job at the Oakland Airport.
Neil retired in 1966, and continued to live in San Leandro, near Oakland, until his death in 1983. His ashes are interred at Chapel of the Chimes in Hayward, California.

Father John Misty "Fear Fun" Album Review
Calling Fear Fun by Father John Misty a debut album is a bit like calling the first game Ron Artest played after changing his name to Metta World Peace his introduction to the NBA. Joshua Tillman, however much he hates to be called it, has been a mainstay of the folk/rock/country/hipster/disillusionment music scene long before he joined with the Fleet Foxes in 2008. In fact, Fear Fun is his eighth album. And it is probably the first time that we've heard him in full force, breaking free of the rather morose and (if I may be frank) boring content of his previous non-Fleet Fox work.
In fact, Fear Fun is not afraid of, anything really. The carnival/obviously Sergeant Pepper-inspired cover art serves as the perfect introduction to an album that is at once frenetic and honest, scary and comforting. Musically, he ranges from grunge, to country, to (dare I say) near disco-level pop, but lyrically he successfully builds his listener a world to explore; a fun house mirror version of Los Angeles, complete with drugs, sex, celebrities, and traffic.
"Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings" is an unstoppable hit, sounding every bit as sexy and enticing as it does remorseful for bad behavior. If you haven't seen the music video starring Aubrey Plaza in a decidedly non-April Ludgate role, you are doing yourself a disservice. It is a rare example of a song that both lyrically offers more upon repeat listening and is catchy enough to warrant it.
"Nancy From Now On" and "I'm Writing a Novel" are great examples of Tillman turning conventional sounds on their head with lyrics that border on nonsensical, yet skewer the culture of Los Angeles (and beyond) in a way that tempers their weirdness into something irresistible. A personal favorite, "Tee Pees 1-12," is probably the albums strangest combination. A definitive country dance ditty, its lyrics weave bondage, literature, plastic surgery, and mental illness with the strong twang (and hand claps!) befitting a line dance.
If a name change was what it took to bring this level of complexity and energy out of Josh Tillman, it is clear worth the wait. Let's all hope that he can continue to produce this level of weird yet wonderful cavalcade down the line.

Sorry to steel (sic intended) a title but it's about as perfect as this title could be. I take pictures of almost everything I build. Some see the light of day but most do not. I have a deep connection with building things for my own satisfaction so documentation is rarely on the front burner. I did this particular frame as an experiment. I had been talking to a local MTB racer about building a race frame. We've gotten to know each other over the last 6-9 months. He's an excitable guy. The type of guy that holds the door for little old ladies, says please and thank you, and just checks in once in a while with a pleasant "how is it going". I like building frames for friends and people who are positive about the world. I don't have an unlimited number of these in me every year so it's professional nirvana to be in this situation. It's my goal to stay in this state. I had been planning to start a really cool build for an expedition style bike. It's taken a little longer to get the parts than I thought, so with a few days extra time I plugged this frame in the queue with the idea of documentation, but also to see how fast I can weld a bike with keeping the quality high. I have been welding in larger batches that take weeks; this was about doing it in hours. Last Thursday I started cutting tubes at 3pm, had a fully built frame 22 hours later, and a deliverable frame 48 hours after that, I hope you enjoy the pics and the process below. The pictorial is purposefully incomplete but I think it shows my general technique.
The biggest part of the first few steps for me is to miter the tubes. The tight alignment shown below helps keeps the tubes straight once I start welding. The heat of the torch arc and the molten filler will pull any small gaps in an attempt to close them. While misalignment can be corrected in several ways the best thing to do is minimize the gaps altogether.
The process of cutting the tubes involves my knee mill. Keri likes to call it my 3000lb drill press. I have fixtures designed to precisely hold the tubes on center and at the perfect angles for the cutters to do their magic.
Once all of the tubes are mitered, I set up the fixture and see how tight the tubes fit and what adjustments need to be made. There is lots of measure twice and then twice more and cut once going on.
Once everything is tight I go through a process of drilling holes in the head tube and Bottom Bracket to allow the hot gasses to move out of the tubes when they get welded and to allow argon to flow through them to keep impurities from becoming part of the weld.
The next step is an option that allows the use of a 27.2 seatpost in a 31.8 tube without a shim. I weld a stepped collar into the seat tube with an internal 27.2 bore. I then file down the weld and sand smooth. the effect is that you can't see the junction between the tubes other than a small line of welding filler.
Now that the front triangle is mitered I move to the chain stays. I assemble the stays and drop-outs into the mitering fixture to locate how I want everything to fit.
The dropout end of the chain stays get the first miter, done by hand with a file whose profile matches the dropout. The goal as always is a tight fit.
After the mock-up is done I weld the drop-outs on.
The welded sub-assembly is now carried to the mill and mounted in the vise and the chain stays are cut at angles to fit on the bottom bracket to maximize tire clearance but still leave room for the chainrings.
At this point I head back to the fixture and make sure the stays are the right length. Mitering is important here because any gaps will tend to pull the wheel left or right, compromising alignment of the rear wheel.
After I'm satisfied with all fits it's time to tack and weld. The first thing I do is tack in two or three locations on each tube around each side of 6 or 12 on a clock face. The tacking and welding is done in such a sequence to pull the frame out of alignment as little as possible or even to pull it back in if necessary.
After the frame is tacked I'll weld as much as I can in the fixture. The range of motion is limited so after welding in the fixture I'll finish up on the welding table.
a href="https://jonathangreene.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/build14.jpg">
This is the table shot of the BB. What's missing is the wider view of the fixture adding argon to the inside of the tubes to create an oxygen-free welding environment.
This is where things stand after welding the front triangle.
The next step is to weld the chain stays on. Getting the drop-outs to stay the correct width again requires a sequence of welding certain parts of the tubes first. The goal is no coldsetting, and for the wheel to sit center. Much proper care was taken in earlier fit up to have the chain stays bend at the widest part of the tire.
After chain stays it's time to move on to seat stays. I first load the stays into the mitering fixture at the desired spacing and angles.
After mitering I fit up and miter the drop-out end of both stays and weld the first stay on. The little bobble in the filler still bothers me.
The next part you don't get to see. It's a lot of little tedious work like doing the bridges and braze-ons. The good news is that sometimes the client shows up at quitting time with some beer and Keri shows up with more beer and we have a great time.
Sorry, no steps of the paint process. The elves are pretty elusive. All I do is leave the can of color coat on the bench and they do their thing in about 24-48 hours. It's pretty cool. This is the first of a string of bikes that will be limetime. It's amazing to me how when one person sees a color, others like it too. My middle son picked the color and it seems to be a hit. If you scroll back in time on this WordPress site you'll see I swore off green, oops.
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. It was a fun frame to build. Ciao!

of hills culminating in the snow of the Pir Panjal mountains of
Kashmir and to the south the plains of Punjab. Far below runs the
valley of the Ravi, while the Beas and Chenab can be seen snaking
across the plains.
Dalhousie retains much of the ambience of the Raj. The town spreads
around five hills – Kathlog, Portreyn, Tehra, Bakrota, and Balun – and
is clothed extensively in stately groves of deodar and oak. Its two
busy points, Gandhi Chowk and Subhash Chowk, are connected by the Mall
which is actually two roads intertwined like the figure of eight.
You'll probably find yourself at the bus stand on reaching here first,
which is the scruffiest part of the town. The main parts of Dalhousie
lie above this terminus. Its tin-roofed, half-timbered houses present
the most delightful sight.
The Attraction of Churches and Temples
There are some churches and temples to see in town, but the best sites
are outside it. It really pays to take long walks to places like
Subhash Baoli, Jhandri Ghat, Satdhara and Dainkund Peak. These are
marvellous forest trails and picnic spots with splendid vistas over
the Chamba Valley. But the best sites around Dalhousie are
Khajjiar(22km) and Kalatope(9km). Its no wonder that some people say
that Dalhousie is a cheaper, but arguably more attractive, alternative
to Shimla. The best time to visit is perhaps autumn which has sunny
skies and clear nights.

Investigating the RNA Binding Domains of MBNL1 and the Alternative Splicing Motifs They Recognize
Purcell, Jamie
MetadataShow full item record
Purcell, Jamie
Muscleblind-like 1 (MBNL1) is a ubiquitously expressed RNA binding protein that regulates the alternative splicing of a variety of transcripts. In Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) aberrant cellular localization of MBNL1 results in disease-associated mis-splicing of several MBNL1 target pre-mRNAs. Due to its role in DM pathogenesis, MBNL1 has been a topic of intense study for the last decade, however many open mechanistic questions remain regarding how MBNL1 recognizes RNA substrates to mediate splicing. The RNA recognition motif for MBNL1, 5'-YGCY-3', was defined herein. This motif was used to identify novel MBNL1 binding sites within regulated transcripts and create synthetic MBNL1-regulated splicing reporters. MBNL1 contains four zinc finger (ZF) RNA binding domains arranged into two pairs of two ZFs. A comprehensive, combinatorial mutagenic study of MBNL1 was conducted to determine the role of each ZF in RNA binding and splicing activity. Functional analysis of the mutant proteins in cellular splicing assays and assessment of RNA binding activity demonstrated that the ZF pairs (i.e. ZF1-2 or ZF3-4) do not have equivalent activity. The ZF1-2 pair is responsible for MBNL1's high affinity RNA binding and splicing activity, whereas the ZF3-4 pair has reduced affinity for RNA and impaired ability to regulate splicing of some transcripts. Hierarchical clustering analysis revealed that two distinct classes of MBNL1-regulated splicing events exist within the small set of splicing events examined. For Class II splicing events the binding and splicing activity for the ZF mutants correlated well. However, for Class I events there was no significant correlation between RNA binding and splicing activity. For pre-mRNAs in the latter class it appears that MBNL1 exerts surprisingly robust splicing activity in the absence of strong RNA binding, suggesting that MBNL1 may be recruited to some pre-mRNA substrates through protein-protein interactions. This study provides the first demonstration that functionally distinct classes of MBNL1-mediated splicing events exist in terms of requirements for different ZFs and the importance of RNA binding. This dissertation includes previously published and unpublished co-authored material as well as recently co-authored material that has been submitted for publication.

DIY Gerbil Habitat
It's made from two plastic totes, random plastic bins and wire we found at the hardware store. There is a hole connecting the top and bottom, that was fun. Lots of washers, nuts & bolts, and cursing. But it works! And it's virtually cat proof! We've wired it to his dresser just in case ;)
Max, his new bff Justin is in the hut.
I did NOT name these little rodents btw ;)
Most of my Max photos look like this:
Big brave Atticus ran for Student Council last week, and WON! We were shocked :)
His posters were hilarious, so darn cute :) I'm posting the others on Flickr

I am so impressed that you DIY-ed a gerbil habitat! I had a disgusting number of gerbils as a kid (30 at one point), so I can only imagine how much work went into that.
Your son has your sense of humor. I love those posters. I'm always blown away by how much your kids look like you. Also, I love the name Atticus. You all must be a fun family.

That is a crazy number of gerbils! Were you breeding them? I had mice as a kid, then they had babies and the mother ate them... no more mice!
Atticus's photos are the funniest things ever. I had a hard time not dying of laughter while taking those photos! He was just striking poses and I was clicking away :)

Do you come from the EU? Have you already done our Quick Check? Au pairs from EU countries do not need a visa to go to Luxembourg. However, certain formalities do need to be fulfilled. Here is our step by step guide.
As a member of the EU, you only need an identity card or a passport to enter Luxembourg. Make sure that your documents are still valid. An identity card or passport can take a few weeks to be delivered. We therefore advise you to apply for these documents as soon as possible.
If you are not from an EU or EFTA country, please refer to our page Information for non-EU citizens.
First of all, agree with your host family on the terms of the contract. It should contain all of the details concerning the au pair stay (duration of stay, working hours, holiday entitlement, accommodation, language course, pocket money, etc.) It must legally contain the clause that the validity depends on the acceptation of your application as an au pair (demande d'approbation) and the family's application as a host family (l'agrément comme famille d'accueil)
If you are an EU citizen, you can only become an au pair in Luxembourg after you have received approval as an au pair from the Ministry of National Education.
To do this, you must fill out the free online application form and attach all of the necessary evidence to it. By signing the application, you commit to participating in the obligatory meeting organised by the National Youth Service (SNJ), designed to give you the relevant information. You should register at least two days before this session.You also agree to follow a language course or culture and civilisation course, paid for by the family, for the duration of your stay and agree not to take part in any other paid or independant employment during the full duration of your stay in Luxembourg.
In order to speed up the processing of the application, it is strongly recommended that your host family submit the application to the National Youth Service (SNJ). Send three signed copies of the contract to your family as well as the other documents which constitute the application of approval for the SNJ:
Your host family also signs the 3 copies of the contract and presents an application to the SNJ composed of the contract, the application as an au pair (demande d'approbation) accompanied by documents that you will send them, as well as the family's application as a host family (l'agrément comme famille d'accueil) accompanied by the necessary justifications.
Once the application has been validated, the SNJ returns two copies of the contract to the family as well as your approval and their authorisation signed by the Ministry of National Education. You will receive one copy of the contract as well as your approval as an au pair from your host family.
The host family should register you with the CCSS (Communal Centre of Social Security) to establish insurance cover in your name in case of illness or accident encompassing the full duration of your stay. For this, the family must submit an entry declaration to the CCSS. The CCSS then forwards a confirmation of registration to the family which must be sent the SNJ in the course of the first month of your stay.
As pocket money is not considered as a real salary, the family is fully responsible for the social security registration fees.

Accueil-Aupair.lu: institutional site on the topic of the au pair stay, managed by the National Youth Service

An excellent part time job or additional income source
By Steve Pearce
Though the name itself may seem a bit mysterious, the concept of mystery shopping is actually straightforward. Also referred to as secret shopping, performance evaluations, service checks and frontline evaluations to name a few, mystery shopping allows companies to obtain a "snapshot in time" by trained researchers who know in advance what they are to evaluate. It provides management a method to quickly yet efficiently evaluate their business practices, deliverables, and employees from the perspective of a non-biased consumer. Mystery shoppers visit or call businesses posing as ordinary customers and provide detailed evaluations of their experience using written reports or questionnaires.
Mystery shopping is used in a wide variety of industries such as retail, restaurants, financial institutions, convenience stores and gas stations, service providers, manufacturers, department stores, travel and entertainment, etc.
Though there is a certain level of responsibility and professionalism required to be an effective mystery shopper, you should never have to pay to get a job. There are dozens of companies claiming that by paying them a registration fee they will send you job opportunities and teach you the steps to becoming a shopper. This may be true, but is also completely unnecessary.
The legitimate mystery shopping companies in the industry NEVER charge fees to the shopper. Training, tips for improvement, and shopping opportunities are provided free to registered shoppers. Mystery shoppers are either paid a pre-arranged fee for a particular shop, a reimbursement for a purchase or a combination of both. Though it is possible to make a living solely from mystery shopping, it is not very common. Most shoppers view this as a second income source or as a way to obtain fully reimbursed meals, products, and services.
The registration process with leading mystery shopping companies has improved over the years. Most provide a simple online form that takes only a few minutes to complete. Once you have registered with a company or two, they will start informing you of shopping opportunities. Most of these are "first-come, first-serve", so be sure to provide the company with an email address that you check regularly, and a phone number where you can be easily reached.
Be willing to accept last minute assignments and treat bottom-of-the-barrel assignments just like top-of-the-line assignments. At first, take whatever you can get. This will allow you to build a reputation with each company. The old adage, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression," is exceptionally true in this industry. Make sure you completely understand the instructions for the particular shop, be impartial, and focus on accuracy. You may be required to document employee names and descriptions, prices, inventory evaluations, etc.
Go hi-tech. More and more mystery shopping companies are requiring shoppers to have access to the Internet, email and a fax machine. Some shops even require the use of a digital camera to capture product placement, signage, cleanliness or other focus points.
Complete all assignments on time. If you absolutely cannot complete an assignment, contact the mystery shopping company immediately so they can reschedule the assignment. Dependable shoppers get the best assignments!
Assignments can be as basic as sitting in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant for 20 minutes to document drive-thru service times to taking an all-expense-paid trip to a resort for 2 weeks to document your daily service experiences.
Now that you understand the mystery shopping industry a little more clearly, the next step is to locate a few top mystery shopping providers and register, remembering that even if a firm doesn't have a client in your area today, they may next month. Once registered with a company, it would not hurt to call or send an email to express your willingness to shop and to confirm your professionalism and attention to detail. Just make sure that you do not send an email full of typos and grammatical errors - definitely not the type of first impression that you want to leave.
Another method for finding potential shopping opportunities and to gather further industry knowledge is by monitoring online mystery shopping message boards and forums. To locate a few, type words like "mystery shopping message board" or "mystery shopping forum" into your favorite browser.
Mystery shopping may not become your next career, but it will provide you with some extra income, free goods, and maybe even a few adventures along the way!

While attending the dawn service of Ascension, Felicity is horrified to see someone fall from the tower and land at her feet. It seems there is another mystery when she picks up a piece of paper with a strange symbol that dropped from the victim's fingers and it bursts into flame as she opens it. Although it looks like an accident or suicide, it's obviously a murder (otherwise why is it the opening scene in a book series called The Monastery Murders?).Felicity agrees to accompany her fiancé, Antony, to supervise a pilgrimage to Wales for teenagers as a way to get her mind off the fatal fall, but that's not easy with her dreams. And when she finds the strange symbol represents an ancient heretical society, it seems escaping might be harder than she thought. This is a murder mystery, and starts well with a body appearing almost immediately. But the mystery of poor Hwyl's death is then ignored as Antony and Felicity go walking in Wales, and apart from the obvious fact that Hwyl is Welsh, this has no apparent relevance to the mystery. In fact, I was about 75% of the way through the novel before they started to address the mystery at all, and then it was quickly apparent (to me at least) who was behind it. The walk, as described, was much like I imagine a real walk across Wales would be: long and boring, with occasional short bursts of action. It was supposed to be ecumenical (i.e. representing all the Christian world), but was actually Anglican—and high Anglican at that, complete with bells and smells, praying exclusively out of the prayer book, and saying the Stations of the Cross at regular intervals. This wouldn't have bothered me except the characters made a point of saying the walk was ecumenical, and it detracted from what was supposed to be the mystery of Hywl's death. An Unholy Communion made a lot of references to deliverance, exorcism and demonic powers working against Christianity. While this was relatively well explained, I didn't feel either of the main characters had real understanding. Antony displayed a solid practical understanding (e.g. knowing which prayers to pray), but didn't seem to see the bigger picture linkages (like wondering if two teenagers who wear black decorated with black and constantly quote Twilight are actually Christians). And Felicity seemed to be entirely ignorant of the dark side—she reminded me a little of some of Dr Who's companions from the 1960's.One bugbear I constantly have with American authors setting books in Britain is their research and language. I was happy to find the research in An Unholy Communion was excellent (as I expected it to be. I've read several of her historical fiction epics, and they were outstanding). Given all the excellent research, it was distracting to see language issues: the reference to Cwm Rhondda spelled incorrectly, and the very English Antony using several Americanisms (gotten, granola bar, grill). An Unholy Communion is the third in The Monastery Murders series, the first one I've read and probably the last. It didn't work for me as a murder mystery, and I didn't like the characters sufficiently to care what happens next. Thanks to ARCBA, Lion Fiction and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.

The Way of Life
Islam is not the same as some other religions from the point of view that it is not confined to a certain place of worship or a certain act, or acts, of worship. Islam teaches it's followers that every single aspect of their life, from eating, to drinking, to sleeping, and everything in-between can be done in one of two ways: Either a way that pleases God, or one that displeases Him.
Islam is also a social, economic, and political way of life. Every single aspect of human existence is governed by the law of Islam. A Muslim is commanded to respect his elders and to show humility and respect to his parents. He is also commanded to show kindness and mercy to those who are younger or weaker than himself as well as all of God's beasts.
A Muslim is commanded to have nothing whatsoever to do with usury, gambling, or alcohol. A Muslim, however, is not passive and weak. He is commanded that if he sees the laws of God being violated or an injustice being committed, he must stand up for the truth and fight to establish the law of God, defend the oppressed, and establish justice and peace.
