Help! I Can't Choose Between All of These Gorgeous Unique Engagement Rings
My love for all things online sometimes gets me into trouble. When I decide to use my browsing capabilities for online shopping, I tend to spend a little bit of money. This is because I can see things that I otherwise wouldn't know existed. I can go online and search for one thing and find a ton of other things that I didn't even know I wanted until I saw them… and then all of a sudden I need it!
I came across a site with a great selection of unique engagement rings. Since we've been talking MARRIAGE lately, I've been doing a little bit of light searching and after seeing these beauties, the search got more serious.
I'm not a person that likes ordinary jewelry that everybody else wears. The only problem is that now I can't decide! I have it narrowed down to these four… What do you think?

Funny you should mention the Heathens. I hadn't heard about them before your post (living in the hinterlands of New England as I do) but have been Googling, YouTubing, and Last.fm'ing them ever since I read it!
(Hope that qualifies for the contest - http://www.themcintireconspiracy.com)

I've been reading more and more good things about the Band of Heathens and love what I've heard so far.
I'm really hoping that they make their way up to NYC to play some gigs .
Good luck and keep up the good work (that goes for both the BoH as well as AWT)!

I've been a little slow to update lately, as I've had a lot of external stuff going on that has nothing to do with grad school or environmental thought. I hope to go back to writing more than once a week just so that I can keep writing for enjoyment, instead of just taking notes and writing things for class.
I found a cute cartoon online that was inspired by Richard Louv (left) and the No Child Left Inside thing. Nice to see that other people are worried about the issue, too.
A few things have happened in school lately, and I'll quickly update you - with a thin promise of more detail later.
My classes for the semester are Evolutionary Ecology, Ecological Economics & Public Policy, Learning Development & Theory and Mammalogy. The last one was a last-minute change. I was signed up for Herpetlogy (study of reptiles and amphibians) but didn't want to take it, I was wait listed for the other class. A half hour before the first class was to begin I got a notification that the course was open. I'm excited that I get to study mammals instead. It's a course in tracking, scatology and mammal behavior. I am totally psyched tonight, actually, because we had fresh snow today, and I'm breaking in my new snowshoes tomorrow looking for my first tracks. (snowshoes were highly recommended and/or manditory for the course, so I picked up some at Play it Again Sports for a pretty good deal.)
I've only recieved three out of the four grades for the past semester, I got a Very Good in both Foundations of Environmental Education and Evolutionary Ecology. I got a Good in Community Ecology of the New England Landscape - and honestly, I think I deserved it because it was the course that came last when I was taking care of everything each week. I didn't put my heart fully into that one, but I did learn a lot. I'm a little annoyed about the Evolutionary Ecology. I was sure I'd be getting an Excellent in that in at least the class participation part... but I got Very Goods across the board. I thought I did better than that, honestly, but I'll take the V. The last one that I'm still waiting on a grade for is Language of Nature... and I'm not sure on that. I loved that course immensely, but its a very subjective grading system, so I am just going to have to wait and see.
More thoughts later...

Digital marketing can help you generate and capture leads.
By Paul Salley, marketing strategist
One of the core lifelines in any real estate business is a steady and reliable source of leads. My role at REAL Trends consists of analyzing how brokerages across the United States and Canada can drive more leads in quantity and quality. Establishing or correcting a flow of leads can be accomplished via digital marketing mediums.
The best approach is to set dedicated budget for specific digital marketing solutions and run the ads for two weeks on each solution. Upon completing the two-week trial period, you will be able to get a sense as to where your marketing efforts are paying off. Examples of digital marketing platforms include Google AdWords and Facebook. It's important to use the same or very similar ads with identical calls to action when comparing and contrasting the effectiveness of various digital marketing platforms.It's also pertinent to ensure that the landing page you are sending people to is about the ad messaging that you're presenting to the consumer.
To capitalize on paid traffic being sent to your website, it's critical to have an effective lead capture strategy on your website. There is a fine line between tactfully requesting an individual's information and coming off as intrusive. If you want consumers to give you their contact information, then you must provide something in return and make them aware of what that will be. This will satisfy the question of "What's in it for me?"
Another suggestion is to put the least amount of capture fields possible on a form. The less intimidating the form, the more likely it is to be completed. Another suggestion is to eliminate forced registration on listings. If a user gets through a few photos and must register in order to proceed, chances are they will leave your website and continue their same browsing experience somewhere else.
Another important lead capture strategy is to incorporate subtle lead capture opportunities throughout your website. Some subtle opportunities for lead capture include open houses, chat, schedule a showing, complimentary CMA, find an agent, etc.
Making an individual voluntarily give up their contact information can be achieved if approached correctly. By implementing some of the strategies above, you'll see an increase in leads and your lead capture rate. ^

A day off!
After our big planting effort for 2010 some Cottesloe Coastcare volunteers with fellow Coastcarer friends -Rae and Walter from Stirling Coastcare, all decided to have a bush walk at Bold Park in the sunshine.
For those who may not know, Bold Park was established as a "place for the people" in 1936 and was named after William E. Bold who was Town Clerk of Perth from 1900 to 1944. The park was declared an A Class Reserve in 1998 and is now managed by the Botanic Garden and Parks Authority.
The total area is 437 hectares and there are over 1000 plant species present (300 of these are native).
There is also an abundance of wildlife with a big number of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. The excellent bird leaflet published by Birds Australia and BGPA states that Bold Park is an important refuge for over 80 species of birds. Many are resident all year but others are migratory or "sometime visitors".
We took the clearly marked, 5km Zamia Trail on Monday 9th August and as you can see in the photos the native wisteria (Hardenbergia comptoniana) was flowering beautifully, wreathing a Firewood banksia (Banksia menziesii) in the photo above; and in the photo opposite, (with a glimpse of the Indian Ocean behind) the native wisteria is growing over a coastal daisy bush (Olearia axillaris).
Several wattle species had started to flower. In this photo the walkers are admiring the bright sunshine yellow of a dune wattle (Acacia lasiocarpa) or dune moses (Acacia pulchella) - I can't remember which species this particular plant was!
No Cottesloe Coastcare activity is complete without a cuppa so we gathered on the top of Reabold Hill for our tea and cake. The short boardwalk with its excellent interpretive signage and wonderful views is well worth the visit if you have not discovered this beautiful spot yet!
It was also a farewell to Nacho (second left) as he is returning to Spain after 3 months in Perth with his partner. He has given us much of his time and has been an important member of our winter planting team.
Adiós y gracias Nacho.

Do you want to fight in the ruined husk of New York City, while wearing a futuristic combat suit that helps you to hunt down some of your friends to annihilate them? Sure, who doesn't, and with Crysis 2, you get to do exactly that.
There really doesn't seem to be much reason to continue to hype this game—the anticipation is almost palpable as is. An early multiplayer demo on Xbox Live was available as an exclusive for gold members from January 25 through February 4, and 1.7 million people downloaded it. There were a few issues on the technical side, but that probably won't stop most from not buying this title when it is released. But, anything worth doing is worth doing to the extreme, and so EA and developer Crytek have released a second multiplayer demo for the Xbox 360, and now PC gamers can get in on the action as well. No word on a PS3 demo before the release, but it is still a possibility.
Check out the trailer below, and if you are running an Xbox 360 or a PC, go check out the demo–which was released today–to prepare for the release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on March 22.

Court Overturns $5.9M Award to Smoker's Wife
(CN) – R.J. Reynolds is off the hook for a $5.9 million jury award because it wasn't allowed to present evidence at trial that a smoker's alcohol abuse contributed to his lung cancer and death, the 11th Circuit ruled.
Richard and Thelma Aycock were married for over fifty years before Richard's 1996 death from lung cancer. For at least the last decade of their marriage, Richard smoked up to four packs a day, even waking up in the middle of the night to smoke.
After his death, Thelma Aycock sued R.J. Reynolds – maker of Camel, Kool, Winston, and Salem cigarettes – and won a $5.9 million jury verdict on her claims loss of companionship and pain and suffering due to her husband's nicotine addiction, lung cancer and death.
However, R.J. Reynolds claimed on appeal that the trial court improperly excluded evidence that Richard's alcohol abuse may have contributed to his death.
Richard's son, Ronald Aycock, called his father an alcoholic, but Thelma denied that her husband's drinking affected their marriage.
The 11th Circuit found for the tobacco company Thursday, and remanded the case for a new trial.
"In excluding all evidence of Richard's alcohol use except in considering damages, the district court greatly hindered Reynolds' defense," wrote U.S. Circuit Judge Eugene Siler. Siler, of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, was sitting by designation.
"Here, Richard's alcohol use was an essential part of the defense's attempt to show that something other than his smoking could have caused his death. Thus, its probative value was high," he wrote.
In addition, the excluded evidence was also relevant to the jury's allocation of fault because drinking alcohol tends to encourage smoking.
At trial, the jury awarded 72.5 percent of the fault to Reynolds, and 27.5 percent to Richard, meaning Reynolds owed Thelma $4.2 million of the $5.9 million award.
But "Reynolds was handicapped in its response, having been denied the right to argue that Richard's excessive drinking also played a substantial role in his death. By excluding evidence of the alcohol use, Richard's heavy consumption of alcohol was in effect removed as a substantial contributing cause of his purported lung cancer. Moreover, the alcohol use was relevant because it contributed to the smoking itself," Siler said.
The jury was informed of Richard's alcohol abuse and cirrhosis of the liver during the defense's cross-examination of Thelma.
Therefore, "we think it difficult to conclude that any appreciable prejudice would have materialized from evidence linking Richard's alcohol use, of which the jury was already aware, to his death," Siler concluded.

The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) has announced its success in buying a woodland climbing site, which it wants to manage in a way that enhances the experience for those bringing their climbing ropes. Harrison Rocks in Kent has now been bought by the BMC and it has drawn up a woodland plan with the help of a couple of tree experts to manage the site, which will include conserving the arboreal and cliff environments for users. It is now seeking the views of BMC members on the plan it has devised to meet these aims, which it wants users of the locality to help amend or approve. People who like to get out with their Vibram five fingers may wish to take part in the consultation. Harrison Rocks was featured on the BBC Countryfile programme in September this year when presenter Matt Baker put on his climbing harness and took on the challenge.
"I would be happy to talk to people about climbing, if people are interested in me or the sport, I would be glad to tell them about it," Hirayama said recently at his Climb Park Base Camp, a converted warehouse in Iruma, Saitama Prefecture, that Hirayama has turned into a training facility for climbing enthusiasts. "But I'm kinda fine (with the low-key way it is now). It's a different sport than soccer or baseball, that's why maybe some people are curious. Is it dangerous? People have a lot of questions like that."I think that's part of the charm of the sport–it's an adventurous thing, people are curious about it. People want to know exactly how hard something is, but we can't always explain everything, and I think that's a good thing, too. I'm fine with that. It's really like a lifestyle."
Since he started climbing 26 years ago at age 15, Hirayama's numerous feats and records include being the first Asian to win the climbing World Cup, which he claimed twice. He is also a two-time Asian climbing champion, was named the Best All Around Rock Climber by America's Climbing Magazine, won the Golden Vibram five fingers (given to Asia's best climber) and has set speed records on several of the planet's most treacherous rock faces, including the famed El Capitan in California's Yosemite National Park.

Like Oil and Water?
Is it OK to mix cardio and strength training in the same exercise session? I like to separate mine, so I am currently lifting three days a week and performing cardio (circuit-style body weight training, 5K runs, and walks) for the other four. This allows me to perform each exercise session optimally. That's just me. But how do the pundits weigh in on the subject? It depends on your intensity.

A survey by the Populus polling company has revealed that 46 percent of Brits feel negatively about Britain's continued membership of the European Union (EU), while just 28 percent feel positively about it.
The poll, revealed on the BBC's Daily Politics programme, showed that 26 percent of Britons surveyed don't have a strong view of Britain's EU membership either way – meaning that a lot of Brits are still yet to be convinced over the arguments for and against the UK being in the EU.
Additionally, while 46 percent in total feel negatively, this is made up of 30 percent who believe Britain would be better off outside of the EU, and 16 percent who are resigned to believing that even if UK membership of the EU is a bad thing, that Britain would be worse off outside of it.
The poll can therefore be read in two ways – with eurosceptics claiming a plurality in favour of their position, and those who want the UK's membership of the EU to continue claiming that in total, 44 percent of Brits believe in continued involvement.
When asked if they would vote to leave or stay, 32 percent said they would vote to leave, whereas 35 percent would vote to stay. The BBC's Andrew Neil pointed out that the difference between the two sides was "within the margin of error". Twenty-seven percent are still undecided, whereas 6 percent said they would not vote at all in a referendum on the issue.
The poll was segmented into different psychological groups: hard-pressed anxiety, calm persistence, optimistic contentment, cosmopolitan critics, comfortable nostalgia and long-term despair.
Rick Nye of Populus said that long-term despair, hard-press anxiety and comfortable nostalgia people most want Britain out of the European Union. Optimistic contentments tend to be more pro-EU, though also more likely to identify with the Conservative Party.
Nye also noted that Scotland tends to be more pro-European Union, but euroscepticism is beginning to pervade.

"These… [people] are hell-bent on killing themselves. Let them do it before they take someone else with them."
Perhaps you assume the subject of these two quotes must be terrorists. They aren't. They are quotes from members of our community here in Cincinnati referencing an individual who overdosed in public recently.
Online news articles almost always end with a comments section. If you've never read through them, or posted yourself, I urge you to avoid the temptation. They are almost always disheartening and the bitterness people feel toward their neighbors is downright terrible. Even worse, you will be tempted to chime in and it doesn't take long before you are behaving in a manner far from our calling.
I have to confess that I did make the mistake of reading some comments recently on articles covering heroin overdoses and other crimes. A couple of quotes from that read preface this post. With each comment I read, I felt myself getting angrier and angrier.
So many would rather see a heroin addict die if it means saving tax dollars. That's anti-gospel and its inconsistent for those of us who maintain prolife convictions. It is also the same hatred too many people have against inmates as well.
For chaplains in jail or prison ministry, we encounter this kind of coldness regularly. We hear from the pariah of our communities (inmates) how they feel as though no one cares about their wellbeing or rehabilitation.
Matthew 25 is often cited as a text justifying prison and jail ministry, for good reason. One of the most striking statements comes in verse 43 when Jesus says, "I was a stranger, and you did not invite me in; naked, and you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me," (RSV)
Let that set in for a moment.
"I was.. in prison, and you did not visit me," (RSV)
Most have been impacted by incarceration in some form or another, whether knowing someone who has been locked up, or perhaps actually having been behind bars, so to speak. One of the greatest fears and let downs for inmates is that their friends and family will not visit.
If you have never been locked up, can you imagine the feelings of loneliness, isolation, fear, and shame many inmates must feel? First time offenders feel this most. Repeat offenders often lose their hope of "getting better," and continue to find themselves in trouble time after time.
Does it strike your heart to read the words of Jesus when says, "and you did not visit me…"?
Here, Jesus is referring to the failure of believers to witness and minister to brothers and sisters in Christ. He goes as far to say, "Truly I say to you, o the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me," (Mt. 25:45b, RSV). Our failure to minister to our brothers and sisters behind bars is literally a failure to minister to Christ.
"If they are in jail, then they clearly aren't Christians," you might think. Or, "Everyone finds God when they're behind bars because they want out of their cells."
True. And so would you.
Remember, "it isn't those who are heathy who need a physician," (Mk. 2:17, RSV). We are all in deep need of Christ no matter if we have accepted him as Lord and savior, or if we are locked up for terrible crimes. For me, it is during my darkest moments in life that I too am most aware of my need for Christ. Why should I—or you—expect the incarcerated or a heroin addict to be any different?
There is another command that should further convict you of the need for jail and prison ministry: the Great Commandment, to "make disciples of all nations," (Mt. 28:19, RSV). Jesus doesn't say "all nations except their criminals." Nowhere does Scripture give us the authority to exclude some people because we don't like them. In fact, it is quite the opposite.
Some Christians fail to realize that missions did not begin with the Great Commandment. God had a plan for the nations before the foundations of the world and that call is peppered throughout the Old Testament as well.
I attend Christ the King Church here in Cincinnati (shameless plug). We're going through one of those texts on Sunday mornings: the Book of Jonah. Often the church has presented a sugar-coated version of Jonah's ministry. You know, the guy who was swallowed by a whale because he was being bad, but then he was good and did what he was told? That's not what actually happened in case you were wondering. Jonah and the Ninevites were both far from good by most standards.
I won't go into any great detail into the two, but if the book of Jonah were a TV series, it would air on Cinemax. They were a bad group. But, God loved them.
God loved them a lot, but Jonah did not. He was a lot like the people I quoted at the beginning of this really long post. In fact, he preferred to die before seeing them saved. Here's a short version of the text:
- He took a ship to modern day Spain (Nineveh was near modern day Mosul in Syria) (v. 3)
- Put others' lives at risk (vv. 4-16)
- Preferred suicide over ministering to Ninevites (vv. 12-15)
- And after God saved the Ninevites (ch. 3), Jonah expressed his anger at God for having done so (ch. 4)
It is really easy to understand inmates and heroin addicts as the Ninevites in this story. And on one hand, it is important to emphasize this point. There isn't a person in our community who has done so much, or is who so terrible, that God has removed his love from them. We are all children of God, and as Christians, we are commanded to treat every person with the dignity they deserve due to being image bearers of the one true God.
On the other hand, it is a grave mistake to think of society's pariah as Nineveh without including ourselves in that group. Our salvation is not the result of our works, it is the work of Christ, crucified and resurrected. You and I are just the same as the Ninevites. Just ask God if you don't believe me (Rom. 3:23 will set you straight).
We are also very much like Jonah.
I won't pretend to know the hearts of those who have made the comments I quoted, but I will say that they aren't alone. I have heard people who identify as Christians say very similar words. My fear is that they may very well be the people Jesus had in mind when he said, "You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don't impress me one bit," (Mt. 7:23a; The Message)… "I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness," (Mt. 7:23b; ESV).
We, Christians, are to be agents of gospel change in a world that is hopeless without it. The "greatest" of all Christians (whatever that could possibly mean) has done nothing to merit salvation. We are all like the Ninevites. May we not be like Jonah who failed to minister to them as a result of hatred.
Yet, there's forgiveness of that too.

Rune Lindbaek & Cebit / Disco Romeiko
Format: 12"
Price: ¥1790(税込)
Date: 2017/11/10
ベテラン・ノルウェイジャン・プロデューサーRune Lindbaek待望の新作!!貫禄のエスニック・スペース・ディスコ!!当然の如くグレイテスト!!デッドストック!!
A1. Disko Romeiko
B1. Disko Romeiko (Oyvind Blikstad Remix)
B2. Disko Romeiko (Baz Reznik Mix)
Rune Lindbaek is a serial collaborator. In the past he's worked with (amongst others) Lindstrom, Kurt Maloo, Ovyind Bilkstad, the Idjut Boys and Todd Terje. His latest studio buddy is Grecian producer Cebit. "Disko Romeiko" is a curious but attractive concoction, with the duo peppering a chugging, atmospheric nu-disco groove with lashings of accordion, traditional Greek instrumentation, subtle acid lines, and occasional blasts of Norse vocoder vocals. Yep, it's definitely cosmic. On the flip, Oyvind Bilkstad makes merry with the accordions on his rolling, slightly more house-centric version, before Baz Reznik drops a super-strength pill and goes all-out Balearic synth-pop on his deliciously wide-eyed take.


text: i was looking for something along the lines of a "classic" Necromancer-type character, but instead stumbled over this PDF - and it has quickly turned into my favourite character class. The sheer number of possibilities these few pages offer is impressive, while still retaining the morbid atmosphere for each combination. Want to play a close-combat Mage with a lot of touch-based abilities? An undead hunter that can make use of what are essentially Vodoo dolls? Or a more classical master of the Dead who spends his time directing his minions? It´s all in here. Definitely worth a look for anyone who wants to step outside the typical Necromancy-specialist Wizard. Also a good source of inspiration for , Death Shamans, Spirit Speakers, Vodoo Doctors or all kinds of other, weird and probably disturbing NPCs

John Pitann Kinsella (born August 26, 1952) is an American former competition swimmer, an Olympic champion, and a former world record-holder in multiple events.
Kinsella was a standout at Illinois swimming powerhouse Hinsdale Central High School in the late 1960s. As a 16-year-old, he was the silver medalist in the men's 1,500-meter freestyle at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, finishing second to U.S. teammate Mike Burton.
In 1970, while still a high school senior and swimming for the Hinsdale McDonald's Swim Club coached by Don Watson, he was awarded the Amateur Athletic Union's James E. Sullivan Award in recognition of the outstanding American amateur athlete of the year. In 1970 he also became the first person to swim 1,500 meters under 16 minutes. After graduating from high school, Kinsella, together with Mark Spitz, Gary Hall Sr. and other notable swimmers, were part of Doc Counsilman's legendary Indiana Hoosiers swimming and diving team at Indiana University, which dominated men's college swimming in the early 1970s. Kinsella won NCAA national championships in the 500-yard and 1,650-yard freestyle events in 1971, 1972 and 1973.
At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, Kinsella won a gold medal as a member of the winning U.S. team in the men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay. The first-place team of Kinsella, Fred Tyler, Steve Genter and Mark Spitz set a new world record time of 7:35.78 in the event final.
After graduating from Indiana University, Kinsella went on to swim professionally, setting a time record for swimming the English Channel. He was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an "Honor Swimmer" in recognition for his Olympic performances and later professional swimming career where he achieved the title of "World's Professional Champion."
After the end of his competition swimming career, Kinsella attended Harvard Business School. He joined RBC Dain Rauscher as an investment officer, but is no longer with the firm. He currently resides in Illinois. He has a daughter, Molly, and three sons, Patrick, Mike and Chris.

The Bishop of Wusasa, Zaria Diocese, Anglican Communion in Kaduna State, Rev. Dr. Ali Buba Lamido, has warned that secession of Nigeria was far from being the solution to the many challenges confronting the nation.
He warned that rather than solving the problem, it would worsen the situation the country was currently going through.
He gave the warning in his Bishop's charge, delivered at the second session of the seventh synod with the theme "Rejoice in the Lord Always" held at the Cathedral Church of St. Bartholomew Wusasa, Zaria Saturday saying.
According to him, "If Nigeria splits into many parts, the prevalent problems of today will still remain
"If we don't learn how to live in unity as Nigerians, we will never be able to live in unity even if we split into hundred parts.
"The ethnic and religious division is nothing but deceitful seed sown by greedy politicians that has now grown into a mighty Iroko tree that has since been nurtured by the same group.
"Nigeria is like the human body with many parts of the body but they all work together. The eye cannot say to the mouth that I do not have need of you, neither can the feet say to the hand let us depart in peace."
On the calls for restructuring Nigeria by many groups, Archbishop Lamido said many reasons have been advanced for this. "With this agitators thinking this will help to address our challenges politically, economically, socially and religiously," he explained.
He advised Nigerians to always put Nigeria first ahead of their individualistic and primordial interest.
The clergyman was of the view that Nigerians were not tired of living together as a nation and issues bordering national unity must be addressed urgently.
"All political leaders and citizens must rid themselves of all religious, tribal and sectional sentiments and live in harmony," he advised.
Lamido also called on government to work hard to bring about unity of the nation irrespective of geographical background and issues bordering on insecurity such as Fulani herdsmen must be dealt with accordingly.
He added, "In Kaduna State, the insecurity has reached a frightening proportion, kidnapping has become a daily thing, government should intensify its surveillance and intelligence gathering if this menace will be put under check.
"A situation where citizens do not longer feel safe in their country is a sad commentary.
"The Christian's pleasure is to walk with God and serve Him even as Jesus did, anything less than this will result in a loss of joy because all that is left is the temporal world of fluctuating situations and worldly pursuit of fleeing happiness.
"Turn from the enticements of your own flesh, flee from the temptations of this world and resist the schemes of the devil and seek to grow in your understanding of our great God and humbly walk with Him submitting your will to His. In that way you will be like Paul in rejoicing in all circumstances."

Democrats are using Rep. Paul Ryan's (R) bid to become the next Speaker of the House of Representatives to advocate for a plan that requires employers to offer paid family and medical vacation time to all employees. Ryan has told his Republican colleagues in Washington, D.C. that he will be happy to be Speaker so long as he is not expected to spend more time away from his family. As a chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Ryan already puts in long and busy weeks at work.
But Democrats are being hypocritical in their call for the new federal mandate.
At a press conference in Ryan's congressional district on Monday, a collection of Democratic activists and officials from the local Democratic Party of Racine County and the Democratic National Committee demanded that Ryan give federally-mandated paid family leave an up or down vote in the U.S. House should he become Speaker.
"As the new champion for family rights, including the need for all working men and women to be able to take time from their jobs to care for their loved ones, we look forward to Speaker-elect Paul Ryan's full support of legislation extending the very same respect for family time to all families as he was extended by his Republican colleagues," declared Meg Andrietsch, a local Democratic Party official, according to the Racine Journal Times.
Conspicuously missing from the Democrats rhetoric and subsequent media coverage, however, was the fact that in the Democrat-controlled City of Milwaukee, government employees don't have a paid family and medical leave program.
Democrats have not rallied in Milwaukee in protest on behalf of city workers.
According to employee benefit information posted on the City of Milwaukee website, city workers are entitled to unpaid leave for family and medical events, as is required by both state and federal law, but the City does not give those employees any pay for that time off. The benefit information explains that if employees wish to use accrued paid leave, such as comp time or vacation time or even sick days, as a substitute for family and medical leave, they are allowed to do so. The City itself, however, does not pay employees of family and medical leave.
The Wisconsin Family Medical Leave Act applies to employers with more than 50 full-time employees, according to the state Department of Workforce Development, and requires unpaid leave time of between 2 and 6 weeks, depending on the situation and circumstance. A U.S. Department of Labor guide to family and medical leave posted to the City of Milwaukee employee benefits website also notes that such leave is unpaid, even though employers of a certain size are required to allow for it.
Wisconsin Statute 103.10(5)(a) clarifies that while employees are entitled to time off for family and medical situations, "This section does not entitle an employee to receive wages or salary while taking family leave or medical leave."
When asked about the Democratic National Committee's family and medical leave program, spokesperson TJ Helmstetter was tight-lipped, only saying that a program is in place but that he was unsure of how exactly the benefit worked. Helmstetter was the one who organized the Monday press conference calling on Ryan to enact a new federal mandate. A list of job openings posted to the DNC's website makes no mention of a paid family and medical leave program, although several jobs note that applicants should expect to work more than the usual 9-to-5 hours.
Over in the City of Madison, the Mecca of liberalism in Wisconsin, government employees there also do not get paid family and medical leave. The employee handbook for the City of Madison explains that paid sick leave may be used for family or medical purposes, but once that is exhausted, or if the employee has not earned enough sick leave days, they are put on unpaid family and medical leave.
Democrats have long held control over Madison city government.

Army to set up high level bodies to probe suicide
A worried Govt has now decided to rope in the district authorities in a big way to check such incidents, reports Rahul Singh.india Updated: Dec 12, 2006 22:21 IST
An Army Lance Naik shot himself dead at Kaluchak in Jammu on Monday. Yet another suicide in a fighting force, which has recorded an average of 100 suicides a year since 2002.
Reflecting the flagging morale of troops deployed in the counter-insurgency grid, suicides and fratricidal killings -- 23 cases reported in 2006 -- in the Army just do not seem to stop.
A worried government has now decided to rope in the district authorities in a big way to check such incidents.
"When a battalion commander writes to a district collector or a Superintendent of Police about problems faced by families of soldiers, we plan to make it mandatory for them to respond. Jawans are often under stress due to family disputes and property-related problems," a senior MoD official told Hindustan Times.
The decision to involve district administrations in a more meaningful manner as regards issues concerning soldiers was taken at a high-level meeting held in the MoD on Tuesday.
The meeting was chaired by defence secretary Shekhar Dutt and attended by senior officials from the MoD and the armed forces.
The MoD will also direct district authorities to maintain a database of families of soldiers deployed in forward areas to attend to their needs promptly.
The ministry has also decided to set up a high-level inter-services monitoring committee, which will scrutinise every case of suicide and fratricide to pinpoint causes. It will include representatives of the Directorate General of Armed Forces Medical Services and officials from MoD and the armed forces.
This comes after the ministry set up a committee under the chairman of Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR) to study the causes of suicides and fratricides. Defence minister AK Antony has already directed the Army to be liberal while granting leave to jawans.
The army's officer cadre has problems of its own. A DIPR study conducted in the northeast over five years has revealed that middle-rung officers are more vulnerable and stressed out than JCOs and jawans.

Baden-Wurttemberg universities have largest studies offer sustainable mobility Baden-Wurttemberg universities are fit for electric mobility. Nationwide find here prospective students the widest range on the topic of sustainable mobility,"Science Minister Theresia Bauer of one of the Central results of a Germany-wide analysis is summarized to the academic qualification in the field of sustainable mobility. The Baden-Wurttemberg offering characterized in particular by, that not only technical aspects in the training are anchored, but that also the competence of the system forms a focal point in many courses. Just the transformation towards electric mobility offers the opportunity to grasp the concept of innovation, Bauer reiterated at a press conference at the Centre for virtual engineering of the Fraunhofer IAO. In its capacity as Chairman of the Board of mobile BW stressed it: how we need technical innovations, we need new answers, which Transport concepts can find social acceptance. The system of electric mobility is complex. For sustainable mobility solutions, it is essential to deal with socio-scientific issues in addition to technical BW's Managing Director Franz Loogen confirmed mobile.
Sustainable mobility is a project, which touches various topics, here is therefore required interdisciplinarity,"added Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Bauer, Deputy Head of the Fraunhofer IAO. System understanding and interdisciplinarity are asked for in the economy generally, Germany has a highly differentiated qualification offer for sustainable mobility, which wise however large regional differences. Apart from Baden-Wurttemberg at the top also North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria can boast a dense range.
The proximity to the automobile industry play an enabling role. The study shows that is the diversity of the Baden-Wurttemberg University landscape as a major competitive advantage because the educational system produces many university graduates both practice-oriented graduates of other high school, noted farmer. The comprehensive study of the academic education in the field of sustainable mobility, where nationwide more than 600 courses were compared and company were interviewed directly, allows a differentiated analysis. The study, Baden-Wurttemberg wants also his contribution to the work of national platform electric mobility afford to advance sustainable science policy and innovations in Germany. The study had shown that despite generally sufficient education involvement in some key areas even more should be next, Minister Bauer. These include the battery storage, energy systems, overall vehicle concepts/integration and load management and fuel cell technology. Here, the companies make up a rising need for personnel. The offer should specifically be developed further ", affirms Loogen. Especially in the further education offers at universities after first studying the study sees further potential for expansion. Match supply and demand In the area of sustainable mobility, there is a wide variety of courses. To enable a better orientation for prospective students, the scientists recommend to create more transparency. Often find it difficult prospective, to identify relevant courses for themselves, although there is a wide range. Both companies want fast, reliable information on where you can find candidates with the required skills, makes it clear Managing Director Franz Loogen relevance mobile BW.

What if your new employer client misses their auto enrolment duties start date?
07 November 2017
If you have clients who are new employers and they miss their duties start date, they will need to work out what their duties are and comply with them immediately. They may also need to backdate contributions for members of staff that need to be put in a workplace pension.
If your client has missed their duties start date by up to 6 weeks, they could apply postponement to delay the assessment of their workforce (for a period of up to three months from their duties start date). For example, if an employer's duties start date was Monday 23 October and they were late complying - providing they were able to give all their staff postponement notices - to arrive on or before 23:59 on Monday 4 December (6 weeks late) -they would not need to backdate any contributions. If the postponement was for the maximum of 3 months, from 23 October to 23 January, then they would need to assess their staff as of 23 January and enrol eligible staff from that date.
However, if your client is more than six weeks and one day late, postponement can no longer be used for assessments on the duties start date. So, they will have to enrol all staff who were eligible on the duties start date - and pay the employer's contributions (backdated to the day their staff first met the age and earnings criteria to be put in a scheme) and give each member of staff the choice to pay (or not pay) the backdated employee contributions.
You can find more guidance on this subject on The Pension Regulator's website.

FREE SPEECH? UK Man Arrested For Questioning MUSLIM WOMAN About Brussels Attacks
In England today, you can't even question Islam. They're arresting people now for doing that as evidenced by the story below.
Jihad Watch reports via the Telegraph:
A man who tweeted about stopping a Muslim woman in the street yesterday, challenging her to "explain Brussels", and lambasted on Twitter for his comments, has responded to the criticism today, insisting he is not some 'far right merchant'.
Matthew Doyle, partner at a south London-based talent & PR agency, posted a tweet on Wednesday morning saying: "I confronted a Muslim woman in Croydon yesterday. I asked her to explain Brussels. She said 'nothing to do with me'. A mealy mouthed reply."
He was later arrested.
His tweet referred to yesterday's bomb attacks on the Belgian capital's main airport and Metro system that left at least 34 people dead and 198 injured. His comment went viral, being retweeted hundreds of times before he eventually deleted it.
Mr Doyle told the Telegraph he had no idea his tweet would be the "hand grenade" it has proven to be – and that Twitter's 140 character limit made the encounter sound vastly different to how he thought it went.
Question Islam? Get arrested! Welcome to the new Europe.

Tarnished by Karina Cooper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Tarnished: The St. Croix Chronicles by Karina Cooper
I'm not one to twitter a lot but I got this suggestion from twitter and it looked like an interesting submission into the Steam-punk genre although as we see from the authors own self proclamation it is more Dark and Sexy Paranormal Romance and Historical Urban Fantasy. I was recently reading someone's blog in relation to Steam-punk being more Fantasy than Science Fiction because of the whole taking place in the past and being anachronistic in nature. And I would agree to an extent meaning that don't much like that they said that it was Fantasy Fiction, which just sort of ground me as being redundant since fiction is synonymous with fantasy and a number of other words relating to something that is not real.
Tarnished is definitely a book written for entertainment, but not for the faint of heart. This means both that it is both Dark and Sexy. So be prepared to get the blood pumping. What I enjoyed about this is the Dark because it extends evenly across the good and the bad. The main character Cherry St. Croix has a dark past. She's the daughter of a mad scientist whose parents died in a fire when she was a little girl. Though she stood to inherit she was shuttled off to an orphanage and then ends up working at a circus before her relatives catch up to her. By then she has been introduced to a number of seedy practices one of which is a Opium habit. Even now she uses it to get rid of her constant nightmares. But she's on a stipend until she reaches 21 so she finds herself doing the dirty work of a Collector to augment her fixed income so she can afford her habit.
Though Cherry doesn't sound like the best of characters she will surprise the reader as Karina Cooper makes her both believable and endearing in her struggles through the first half of the novel. There are many dark events ahead of Cherry and she will dig herself deeper into the darkness before she will see light. Rather than romance this book has some steamy sex but the context is rather dark so the bulk of the novel should be considered dark fantasy at best. It's quite well written with some well drawn and flawed characters with of course Cherry being the most Anachronistic thing in the the story; since her entire character defies the conventions of those times.
Still: this is a great story with a strong female protagonist who has quite a few demons under her belt for someone so young. A woman of the world who is still quite naive and will take a few knocks before she's willing to admit that. What is disappointing and what I would agree with others about is that the last portion of the book did not do Ms St. Croix any credit to her abilities. I could possibly chalk this one up to her heavy use of opium. Maybe in the next installment she will get smart and clean herself up.
I'm looking forward to the next installment as she continues her hunt for bounty as a collector.
Great Steam-Punk that's a bit on the darker side than even some of the other steam-punk I've read. Good for SFF fans who look toward the fantasy part.

With the rapid expansion of cultural studies and the attendant plethora of resources aimed at supporting students through its terrain, the notion of providing anything innovative or controversial is difficult to embody in print these days. Indeed, the field seems to have levelled out into either the safety of description or the provision of easy-to-handle reference guides offering quickly digestible bites of information.
Two such books have emerged from Sage. The Practice of Cultural Studies by Richard Johnson et al aims to delineate the "practice" to which it alludes and to recognise the diversity of the field by reference to the multiplicity of methods that make it up. While this can be seen as a worthy enough project in its own right, in a text of only 300 pages it leads inevitably to a form of reductionism that ironically negates the "inclusive" project it sets out to achieve.
Unfortunately, "practice" here demands a good deal of description of largely sociological methodologies and what is lost is a sense of the space of cultural studies as an arena of passionate and sometimes mutually negating contests for particular ends. In addition, it is far too descriptive to be thoroughly engaging about the conceptual battles towards which it nods, and in an attempt to include everything, ends up not being a particularly strong case for anything at all.
Although it might be a useful starting place for students new to cultural studies, it remains, rather disappointingly, an anodyne rendition of what could have been a lively and dynamic series of inquiries.
The Sage Dictionary of Cultural Studies , on the other hand, sets out on an entirely different path. Astute about what it calls the "problems" of "representationalism", it eschews the question of what cultural studies is for the more sharply honed query: "How do we talk about cultural studies and for what purposes?"
Starting from language, which it is argued "does not accurately represent the world but is a tool for achieving our purposes", this dictionary sees the field of cultural studies as a set of knowledges within which different logical moves operate to achieve different, yet specific, aims. What emerges from this is a much livelier notion of cultural studies as an important site of contest over the meanings produced and circulated across the space of culture, within which cultural studies, as a field of inquiry, comes to constitute itself. As such, rather than describing the differences that make up an all-encompassing study of culture, the dictionary itself brings cultural studies into being in a particular way.
The "practice" of cultural studies here is an analytical, pedagogical and political task with questions of culture, power and resistance to the fore. While there is nothing intrinsically new or controversial about the dictionary, it does offer a sound consolidation of key concepts that students of the variety of trends of cultural studies will find extremely useful and thought-provoking. This is an ideal resource for anyone teaching cultural studies that will surely find its place in the reference sections of libraries.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. -- Beaver Creek professional Dirk Schultz had a passing grade on Wednesday as he shot a 3-under-par 69 to finish third in the Mid-Atlantic PGA Pro Championship at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club.
Schultz finished the 54-hole event with a 5-under 210, becoming one of 15 players from the original field of 153 players to qualify for the PGA Players National Championship next June in Hershey, Pa. This was Schultz's fifth successful qualifying finish.
On Wednesday, Schultz shot a front-nine 32 and at one stretch birdied five of six holes. Only a double-bogey on the 576-yard, par-5 18th hole kept him from a better score.
Also, Fountain Head professional Jim Schouller had one of his best rounds of the year, shooting a 3-under 69. He finished at 5-over 220 in a tie for 24th place.
David Hutsell, of Elkridge (Md.) Golf Club, fired a 64 to win the tournament by three strokes at 205. Jody Rokisky, professional at Holly Hills Golf Club in Frederick, Md., also qualified after finishing eighth at even-par 215.

It was just one of those days. Although thinking about it, I feel like it is always one of "those" days. There are good mornings, but why is it that I clearly remember the tough ones?
I had not slept very well (typical), her devil horns were in full effect the moment her feet hit the ground (she told me to go back to bed when I walked in her room) and they were well, shrieking (hungry, want to be held, the usual). It was going to be an amazing morning. The only saving grace was that I was having a good hair day. Hey, on these kind of days, it's the small things that help you through.
We managed to make it into the truck and there were only a few tears shed. Luckily none of them were mine - tears and good hair are not the greatest look.
I did my best to remain chipper during the drive. Pointing out things that might spark a smile. Nothing. She had a sassy response for everything I said. Towards the end of the drive I was saying things only to irritate her. Not the greatest parenting technique and it WILL bite me in the ass later on, but for the time being it made me feel much better.
The boys sat drinking their milk bundled up with blankets and hats on. Thank goodness they had quieted down. I might have stabbed myself in the eye if they had all continued with their nonsense. Not enough coffee and cranky kids = birth control.
I gladly dropped them off and shut the door behind me. It was as if a fog had lifted. It had been a tough morning. Mornings are difficult, but this one was hard. Some days are just like that. Take the good with the bad. I get it. But some days it is still hard.
As I started down the driveway to my truck, but something told me to turn around. I glanced over my shoulder and there she was. Her horns had disappeared and she was waving at me from the window. Blowing kisses and smiling. For a moment my eyes welled up with tears. She was so sweet. My little girl. I made that. Wow. It was one of those "mom" moments where all the bad melts away and all you can see are the wonders and joys of children. And then I realized....knowing her, she is cussing at me under her breath. Oh, well so much for that. It's a good thing she's cute.


text: This was discussed a couple of days ago, the Korean restaurant with good yook gae jang in Oakland. The name is Oakland Gohyang (I'm not sure of the spelling, but this is a pretty good approximation of how to say it) and they're open till 9:30 everyday. The woman I talked to kept asking how many people were coming and when, so I think she's eager for business.

I uploaded both a cover and interior pages. The system tells me there is a problem but I can't get the viewer to work. Nothing works. This so stupid. I want to review the work but can't do it. It is a flash issue. I have turned it on so that createspace can run flash. Still nothing. I have tried different browsers and both chrome and edge. I want to know what works! So frustrating.
I want to know what works!
Linux and Firefox.
Also (on Windows systems, at least) it's my understanding that you can end up with conflicting versions of Flash Player installed (because some browsers use the active_x and some use the plug-in). You might try downloading the Uninstall Flash Player program, running that, and then reinstalling just the (latest) version of Flash needed for the browser you intend to use (e.g., the Flash Player plug-in for Firefox).


text: Hello! I just got my iPod Photo 40GB today. Here's my first thoughts: 1. The display is really good. It looks totally different, and is very bright. 2. You can scroll through photos with the scroll wheel, and it is FAST. 3. Photo synchronization is as quick as music synchronization. 4. It's a little thicker than the 4G 40GB model, however it should take the other accessories (iTrip, TuneDock, microphone, and other things). The new display is incredibly readable. I ordered this on Tuesday night, and it came today. Very nice . MBP
