Employee Engagement Surveys
An engaged, empowered and dynamic workforce can achieve great things for your business.
Conversely, a demotivated workforce will impact on everything you do.
Regular employee feedback is an essential element of business planning. You gain a clear
understanding of how employees feel, how engaged they are and what changes would really help
them exceed expectations. Our surveys are usually based around a confidential online questionnaire, with results analysed by our specialist team.
We also recommend the option of focus groups upfront to steer questionnaire design, together with post-survey action groups to give clear ownership for the follow-up process.

FOR THE Sixth Sunday of Easter, many in the church of Jesus Christ hear a message of promised peace and hope coming from the Gospel of Saint John…
Jesus answered him (Judas, not Iscariot), "If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.
These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.'
If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe. (John 14:23-29)
In! Not Of…
The reading we peruse here is singularly within the Gospel According to John, though similar discourses appear in Mark 13, Matthew 24, and Luke 21. The discussion we study here occurred in the upper room as Judas… who was an apostle, but not the betrayer Judas Iscariot… asked our Lord a question. He said, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"
This question reveals to us that the disciples were beginning to realize that a difference exists between what we shall know as disciples, and what will be comprehended by world around us. In answer to the question, Jesus promised his followers a peace that the finite world cannot have. The world cannot know it because without accepting him, God's infinite peace is not given. This perfect peace, one that is beyond understanding, is only given by God through the gift of faith given in Christ Jesus.
Jesus assured those who were gathered with him that though he would be going to the Father, they would not be abandoned. He told them that when the Holy Spirit came to them, they would learn even more. Jesus explained that in the future, the presence of the Father and the Son would always be with them. However, the gifts given through the power of the Holy Spirit (hagios pneumatikos) would provide a faith which is grounded in peaceful certainty. That promised certainty would eternally be their possession, and that peace was one which the world would not comprehend without the Spirit's teaching.
The answer supplied by Jesus, therefore, was revealed by John as occurring during the latter portion of the time he spent with them in the upper room. The words were spoken, just before the statement, "Let us go hence." Then they went out into the Garden of Gethsemane.
The discourse had revealed the profound distance between the limits of human finitude, and our infinite God working before them. The text speaks of the disciple's mental confusion and spiritual unbelief. Profuse questions arose from them when faced with this miraculous telling, for the words that Jesus told them had impressed that with God the impossible was possible!
Given that this discourse was in John, and is not found in the other gospel records, the ground was laid that this recollection of Jesus' teaching was likely designed to specifically bolster the faith of the Johannine churches. John pointed out sharply that the disciples, though not initially understanding, and stumbling thereafter during the days of crucifixion… firmly followed the Risen Christ after the Holy Spirit descended upon them. Was he not then, saying that in future days the church would need to recall these words?
This seems as so. Historical records reveal to us that Christians of the late first century were struggling mightily under Diocletian persecutions. Therefore we ask, "Was the writer of John calling these formative churches in the Greco-Roman diaspora to put their trust wholly in God? Was he asking them to trust the empowerment and teaching of the Holy Spirit so that they will continue strong in faith and future growth? We know that during this time in history, that the emerging church split from the synagogue world around them. This is evident because of John's expressed acrimony over against "the Jews". For John's churches living the world in which they and the synagogue communities strove, the gospel declaration separated them by faith declaration. When their witness was successfully made, the abyss of separation from the traditions of the synagogue became more profound. This was concretely evidenced by later persecutions. These persecutions persisted and worsened as church history unfolded. Emphasis was thus placed by John on maintaining the needed clarity of message and community faith adherence. The text points out, however, that this clarity and faith is only obtained from the Spirit. The message concerning the Holy Spirit is therefore of prime importance for all who read.
"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
The peace given from Jesus Christ through the power of the Spirit is therefore different from the finite peace or strength that the world knows. The Spirit is the one who stands alongside (paracletos) the church as trials continue. The Spirit witness needs no substantiation by human science, religious or political power, media or statistic. Tht Holy Spirit is provided by God, who miraculously provides faith to us. Just as water and wine becomes the body and blood of our Lord for us by the power of the Spirit, infinite peace is also made manifest only by the Spirit.
Peace Be Yours!
Therefore, we may conclude here that since the church is yet embroiled amid powers that struggle against the Spirit, we shall find this message as heartening. It is the message that John communicated to churches in the latter turbulence of the first century that still speaks to us in our day. Though the profound image of the Crucified and Risen Christ often fades from our minds as the weeks from our Easter celebration progress, we are yet sustained. As both familiar and new challenges arise amid our ranks, each attempting to wrest us away from orthodox and traditional faith expression, we see that just as the years may fade memories of those who have gone before us into death… we are surely brought back to true faith and heartened by the Spirit's power.
You see, we can know that in Christ we are not limited by our own sin and finite human waywardness. By this Eternal Word given to us in John, we know that Christ Jesus related to his disciples concerning the third person of the Holy Trinity. Thus he pointed out to the disciples, to John's audience and we ourselves, that the Spirit shall work in us to forgive sin and give us peace. In doing so the Holy Spirit preserves the church. Thus even in our own day and within this troublesome world, we know that the church shall continue in faith until the time when everything promised is fulfilled. So it is written, and so it shall be.

Hillia Hula
1. Tell us your roots - where were you born and raised? I was born and raised most of my life in Yakima, WA and started hooping when I moved to Ellensburg, WA.
2. Why hooping? How did the journey begin? I remember randomly buying a kids' toy hoop at a yard sale because it looked like fun. This was before I knew that hooping existed. I Googled "hula hoop workout" and found a hoop dance video for the first time. I was absolutely mesmerized by the beauty of hoop dance and knew I had to find a way to learn what I had seen. Unfortunately there were no instructors or classes around the area so I had to rely on YouTube videos and the few tutorials I could find. I started in a small storage room in my apartment and used my webcam to record my progress. I fell in love with hooping and wanted to do it all the time, wherever I could. I guess you could say not much has changed since then because I am still obsessed with hooping! I started off as a busker at local farmer's markets and gradually gained the confidence to expand into a full time performance artist.
3. What has the hoop taught you about life? I can honestly say that hooping has changed my life for the better! I spent many years trying to figure out what I wanted to do for a career. Looking back, I would have never imagined I would be a hula hooper doing half of the things I do now. Anything is possible! At the time, I was also dealing with many anxiety issues. Hooping allowed me to escape into a sort of trance and allowed me to immerse myself in a creative flow process. My love for hooping gave me self-confidence and ambition like no other. There is a great freedom and joy that comes with expressing yourself fully without fear of judgment.
4. What's next? How is your hoop life evolving? I'm currently doing lots of performances across the west coast and am grateful for every minute of it. I also love making creative videos to share and am always inspired to push my perceived limits and step outside my comfort zone. My goal is to travel and share hooping with as many people in as many places as possible. That being said, I definitely hope to busk and perform abroad in the near future.
5. What aspect of the hoop community do you value the most and what do you hope to contribute to the future of hooping? I love the support and inspiration the hoop community gives one another. Each hooper has a completely different flow unique to them. I think its great that we can have our differences in expression of movement and still support each other rather than striving for one, correct style. Our community thrives when we lift one another up and grow with each other. I personally hope to encourage and inspire other hoopers and hope to contribute by creating lots of fun new hoop concepts.

IDCOL-IREL forms joint venture for beach sand mining in Odisha
Bhubaneswar, Nov 29 () The state run Industrial Development Corporation of Odisha Limited (IDCOL) today signed a joint venture agreement with Indian Rare Earth Ltd (IREL) for implementation of Rs 450 crore beach sand mining project.
The joint venture company with 49 per cent share of IDCOL and 51 per cent equity of IREL, will be operational in the name of IREL-IDCOL Limited. It will apply for the fresh lease of beach sand and to explore and mine the same, said Odisha's Industries secretary Sanjeev Chopra.
He said the joint venture company would provide employment to about 400 people. As per the pre-feasibility report, development and construction period is about 24 months and pay-back period is about five years. It will also open an area for new downstream units using the product of the project, Chopra said.
IDCOL had earlier signed an MoU with IREL in 2015 regarding the formation of this JV Company.
The joint venture company will apply for lease of beach sand from Gopalpur in Ganjam district to Brahmagiri area in Puri district to explore and mine the same. A mineral separation plant will be set up with an estimated project cost of 450 crore.
Its construction period is about 24 months and pay-back period is about 5 years. It will create employment opportunity for 400 people in different categories.
Stating that Odisha has a large reserve of beach sand minerals in its coastal stretches, Chopra said ilmentite is the largest constituent of the deposit and most of them remain untapped in the state.
According to 2011 report of the Ministry of Mines, Odisha has the third largest deposit of ilmenite in the country. Andhra Pradesh has the biggest deposit followed by Kerala and Tamil Nadu at the second spot. In Odisha major deposit has been identified near Chhatrapur in Ganjam district and Brahmagiri in Puri district.
Though India has 18 per cent ilmenite deposit globally, production of it has been poor, ilmenite production is the highest in Tamil Nadu followed by Odisha.
Earlier, IDCOL had applied for the mining licence (ML) and prospecting licence (PL) to the Government of Odisha for beach sand mining over an area of 5995.198 hectare in different villages along Ganjam coast.The IREL, which has been operating mining separation units at Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Odisha, had evinced interest to form a JV with the IDCOL for development of Beach Sand Mining.

Black chocolate is already recognized for the benefits it has on the cardiovascular system, and now a new study has shown that black chocolate can also increase sports performance at fitness enthusiasts.
Anabolic steroids are trendy. And many wonder if their side effects are so serious, or if there are steroids that have less side effects. Find out the answer here.
Clenbuterol is a beta-2-agonist. Beta2-agonists are used to treat asthma. They dilate the airways that narrow during an asthma attack. Works by copying the effects of natural substances such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, substances produced in the body. These chemicals prepare the body for action, as exercise or when subjected to stress. One of the effects of these substances is to open airways so that more air to reach the lungs. You should not be used when you have serious kidney and liver and should be used with great care when you have problems with your heart and circulation, thyroid, diabetes.
Clenbuterol acts selectively on beta 2 receptors. When acting on them there is an increase in body temperature, increase metabolic rate and decreased appetite. For these reasons Clenbuterol is used by many athletes to lose weight to decrease muscle lighthouse. Thermogenic effect, clenbuterol has anti-catabolic.
Clenbuterol comes in tablets of 20 mcg or 40 mcg of, but is available in the form of syrup pump for inhalation, injection, powder and granules. Doses are very dependent on how well the user responds to the side effects, but are in the area of 40-120 mcg / day. You never have to exceed 200 mcg / day, which is very much anyway. Pay attention, Clenbuterol is measured in micrograms - mcg, not mg - milligrams!
Clenbuterol loses its thermogenic effect after 8 weeks, when the body temperature returns to normal. This is why most athletes who use it, use a thermometer to check the temperature and corpului.Clnebuterol a little larger, and when the temperature returns to normal administration should be interrupted and made a break for the body to adapt and Clenbuterol is no longer effective .
Its properties anabolic / anti-catabolic disappear after about 18 days. Considering the long half life cyclization most effective method would be 2 weeks on, two weeks off for no more than 12 weeks in total. To extend the useful life of up to a maximum of 6 continuous weeks, after the first two weeks we add Ketotifen, by 2 mg per day; care should be taken, adding ketotifen increases the potency of clenbuterol, so it may need to decrease the dose of the latter. Clenbuterol is the half-life of 35 hours.
An example of the clenbuterol cycle is:
Day 1: 20mcg
Day 2: 40mcg
Day 3: 60mcg
Day 4: 80mcg
Day 5: 80mcg
6-12 days: 100mcg
Day 13: 80 mcg
Day 14: 60 mcg
Another example is 2 days do not give two days, but was demonstart this kind of cycle is not effective. At high doses are taken each 20mcg once, more than this half, until 15 o'clock For example, if you have taken 80 mcg a day, will be divided into 4 doses of 20 mcg each. Take one dose every few hours. But note that it is not advisable to administer clenbuterol after 15 o'clock because it can interfere with sleep.

The Importance of Parental Involvement
While doing research with the Harvard Preschool Project, we noticed that one of the characteristics associated with children who were destined for success in school and in life was what we called "healthy pride in achievement." It wasn't that these kids would brag about what they did, but simply that they demonstrated immense personal delight in their accomplishments.
And we discovered that, although this started to appear during the first year or so, it was not "natural." When learning to crawl, walk, climb, and perform various other physical feats, all children experienced struggle followed by success. But not all developed that healthy pride in achievement. What made the difference was what we labeled the "bonkers" factor.
We noticed that if a child's parents were present during the struggle, they typically went "bonkers" when the child succeeded. They smiled, clapped, cheered, and otherwise showed their enormous pleasure and pride. Their reaction gradually was internalized by the child, and eventually it was common to see the child do something difficult, like climb onto the couch by herself, then turn around, grin, and give herself a nice round of applause.
So keep in mind that you, the parent, are an extraordinarily important part of your child's educational experience at Romp n' Roll. While the instructors, equipment, and activities will provide your child with appropriate challenges, no one will be able to supply the "bonkers" factor more effectively than you.

Catching Up: Tyndall Gals' Birthday Celebrations
Valerie kinda got the raw end of the deal this year. Because of schedule conflicts, breakfast was the meal out that she got. And because her birthday was on a Sunday, lots of the local places we like were closed... so, we did a birthday breakfast at IHOP. That was a first. She was a good sport about it, though, and definitely earned an extra special celebration next year for her 25th! :)Mom's birthday was different as well. We spend the morning (and most of the afternoon) moving Dan's furniture out and loading his truck. Tons of people showed up to help (even without being asked and even with very little notice), and one neighbor described the day as very 'cathartic', with which I completely agreed. But the people showing up was just another testimony of how much my mom is loved, which I think was special for her as well.After moving for hours and hours, Mom and I spent some time looking for the slide show we made for her 50th birthday, but we couldn't find it. Sad. We did some other browsing and laughing and playing around online. Then, I went home and got ready, and we all met up at a semi-fancy restaurant on Shem Creek called Water's Edge. (This was also where Matt and I had our rehearsal dinner and neither of us had eaten there since then.) It was nice to be dressed up and pamper Mom for her 55th birthday. We got her a couple of little gifts, but her big gift was a very nice amethyst ring (her birthstone) that Valerie actually cut part of. Val has been learning about cutting stones from a friend of hers, so this made it extra-special for mom.Mom's friend, Teela, helped with moving and also joined us for the birthday dinner. :)

REMI Garde has emerged as a frontrunner for the head coach job at Newcastle United – but John Carver hasn't given up hope of landing the post.
Garde is understood to be on the shortlist being drawn up by the club.
The 48-year-old Frenchman is out of work, having left Olympique Lyonnais last summer citing "personal reasons".
A report in France has claimed that Newcastle are set to approach the former Arsenal defender about succeeding Alan Pardew at St James's Park.
The task of guiding taking over the team, and its large French contingent, could appeal to Garde, now the bookmakers' favourite.
Derby head coach Steve McClaren and Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka, however, have distanced themselves from the vacant post at United.
Newcastle managing director Lee Charnley and chief scout Graham Carr are drawing up a shortlist for owner Mike Ashley – who has been on holiday in Barbados – to consider.
The club, however, is yet to make an approach to any candidate.
Carver, put in temporary charge after Pardew's departure, went public with his keenness to become the club's head coach after Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Leicester City.
The 49-year-old and his players were booed after the final whistle at the King Power Stadium.
Carver, the club's assistant manager, is also likely to be on the club's shortlist.
"I've been at the club for many years now – almost 25 years as boy and man," said Carver, who was Sir Bobby Robson's No2 at Newcastle.
"When an opportunity like this comes around, I'd be mad not to want to be head coach. If ever there's an opportunity, it's now.
"If I don't throw my hat in the ring, I'll never get that opportunity again I don't think.
"I know the club throughout – I know what they're feeling, they're hurting as I'm hurting now – but we have to move on."
Asked if he would be "mad" to take the job on, Carver added: "Many people have said I'm mad!
"But absolutely not, what an opportunity. Let's not forget I've gone through that process with Alan over the last few months. He took some abuse.
"And I was part of that, so I took some of it, and it's actuality hardened me up a bit!
"I'm not going to cower away from it – I'm big enough and strong enough to say 'yes, I would like this job'.
"I'd love to take them and improve them – and I think I can.
"Listen, everything I've ever gone into I want to win. I want to be the best. If I didn't have confidence in my own ability, I'd just walk away – I wouldn't throw my hat in the ring.
"I'd just lie down. I've got a five-and-a-half-year contract at the club, I'd stay at the club.
"But no, I'm prepared to take that challenge."
Meanwhile, Pardew's tenure at Crystal Palace started with a victory.
The club progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 4-0 win over Dover Athletic on the Kent coast.
After the game, the 53-year-old – who had been the Premier League's second-longest serving manager – said he would address the reasons behind his departure from St James's Park later this week.
Pardew said: "I think we have Press conference on Thursday where I will talk more about that if the Press decide they want to know."

Sneak Preview... Snow Flurry Mittens
Coming soon... the pattern for Snow Flurry Mittens! This adorable pair spent a long time in the development stage. It really just needed a few ingenious tricks... using multiple needle sizes within the same round and knitting inside-out. They were finished just in time for a photo shoot during an early October snowfall. Too bad our snow is too dry to make a real snowball!
Sneak Preview... Winterlude Socks
The pattern for Winterlude Socks is now in the testing phase. I'm hoping to have it ready for release by mid-November. In the meantime, here's a sneek peek! It's a lacy little sock with a special decorative edging instead of traditional ribbing. It reminds me a tiny bit of snowflakes, hence the wintery name.
Sock Cuff Blocker
Sock Cuff Blocker
Here's a sneak peek at an upcoming sock design... Winterlude Socks... and the sock cuff blocker that I was forced to invent to finish my sample. The cuff of these socks features triangular points topped with bobbles and needed blocking to show it off to advantage. After a bit of confusion, inspiration struck, and the result was a sock cuff blocker made from recyclable leftovers found around the house. I've posted a tutorial with instructions for making and using your own.

Happy International Women's Day (IWD)! Like Black History Month, one day we hope that there won't be a need to single out just one month or just one day to celebrate a group of people who make such an impact every day. Nonetheless, today we celebrate …well…us! Here's to all the women in your life who've inspired you, made a difference, changed you and created the person you have become. How do we even begin to thank them? Well, on days like this, it's easy to think of the the Michelle Obamas or the Rosa Parkses, the Audre Lordes or the Angela Davises, but today we challenge you to look a little closer to home. Think about that best friend you first came out to, who didn't judge you but instead embraced you (despite, perhaps, pinching you for waiting so long to tell her!). What about the first butch woman you saw strutting around your neighborhood when you were growing up? She was that undeniable lesbian figure who may have become the symbol of what was going on inside of your own heart and head. It doesn't matter that you never spoke two words to each other; her mere presence assured you that you were not alone. What about that fifth grade teacher, that neighbor girl, the girl you bunked with at summer camp? You know, the ones you had the biggest crushes on? Maybe what you felt for them gave you your first real inclinations, that self-realization that guided you to accept who you were. They may not have,realized it- well, at the time, you may not have realized it either- but they were shaping your identity. Today, we salute all the women whose shoulders we stand on and whose contributions, great and small, have left us changed. Thank you!
Let us know what you think of the Google Doodle in honor of IWD.
Meh, it may leave something to be desired, but we do love the accompanying video that features over 100 women from around the world including trans women, writer Janet Mock and Transgender Law Center senior strategist Cecilia Chung, wishing all women a Happy International Women's Day.

A bitcoin ATM is an automatic teller machine that allows users to purchase bitcoin instantly, using cash. Bitcoin ATMs are generally found in retail stores or cafes that have embraced the idea of bitcoin — though the number of bitcoin ATMs is growing every day.
There are two types of bitcoin ATMs:
- One-way bitcoin ATMs allow users to exchange cash for bitcoin. In other words, you put cash in the ATM, and you receive bitcoin in your mobile wallet. (These are called "Fiat -> Crypto" on the map above, meaning fiat currency into cryptocurrency.)
- Two-way bitcoin ATMs allow users to buy bitcoin with cash, and exchange bitcoin back into cash. With a two-way ATM, you can easily "cash out" of your bitcoin investment. (These are "Crypto -> Fiat" )

For many, a vacation in Punta Cana is all about white sand beaches and 5 star resorts. But have you ever wondered what lays beyond the resort wall?
Higuey Circle has been designed to give a better understanding of life in the region. Fact is, many of the employees who provide service to you during your vacation, live in Higuey, thus you have the opportunity to see a bit of their life outside of the resort.
We start our day with a visit to a local community that is home to many who have migrated from other parts of the island. Far from lavish, the Hoyo offers a glimpse of Dominican reality. Within the Hoyo we visit a school which is far from the traditional "tourist trail".
Started a little over 9 years ago, this is the "little school that could". We now provide a quality education for approximately 160 children in the Hoyo, most of whom would receive next to no education of value, had the school not been opened.
Far more than a "drive by opportunity", we take the time to socially interact with the students, as well as the society around the school. For many, this is a real eye opener and something few ever forget.
Cigars, chocolate (cacao) and rum are 3 of the major exports from this country. The region's "only" volume cigar producer is our next stop of the day. We personally take you through the steps of building a quality cigar, from the sorting rooms, and ovens to the production floor and humidors. I personally buy my cigars here and endorse the product without reservation!
I will admit... both Pat and I are rum lovers! I have had the best and the worst of rums (yes...there are some BAD rums). The smallest producer of rum in this country is also the leader when it comes to quality! Available for sampling and purchasing are a selection of rums aged on average... 12 to 30 years! We are talking quality product!
After a leisurely drive through the countryside, we have a little gaming to do at the carwash! I will leave it at that, but even the most reserved of us, find ourselves being caught up in the game!
Higuey is next! The region's largest city and home to the majority of employees at the beachside resorts. We take a walk (weather permitting of course) through the local markets. Nothing to buy here from a tourist point of view, but often a visual and sensory delight! One never knows what they might see!
Continuing through the city we take in the local way of life and observe some of the history of the region, a city dating back to the early 1500's, before departing back to the Bavaro - Punta Cana resorts.
Pricing: $89.00us Adults us or equivalent (cash only)
$79.00us Children 3 to 12 years old
(Groups of 8 or more : 10% off)
All beverages supplied, including quality alcohol, beer, soft drinks and water!
Please note: There is no lunch stop on this tour, although snacks are available along the way.
Tour Duration: Approx 8:30am to 3:30pm on average.

B.C. (Before Cancer)
June 27, 2013 was a day in my life that I'll never forget. I'll tell you more about that day in a minute, but first I'd like to tell you a little bit about who I was up until that day. I was born August 19, 1975 in Midland, Texas. I grew up in the small town of Flushing, Michigan, where I eventually graduated high school. I met my husband, married, and started a family.
We moved around quite a bit, going where we could get jobs, eventually settling in a very small country town in southeast Missouri. I was 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighed in at only 132 pounds (I've always been skinny), and was in fairly good shape. I was a 37 year old wife and mother of two teenage daughters, Tasha and Ally. I had four dogs, a yellow lab/husky mix named Rain, a Great Dane/Mastiff mix named Morgan, a miniature Boxer (I think Boxer/Jack Russell terrier) named Pepper, and a golden retriever named Jody. All were rescue dogs. I also had a horse named Athena (trained by yours truly), and I worked full time as a manager in an auto parts store in the small Missouri town near my home. Medically, I had a condition called fibromyalgia, which had caused me a lot of problems in the past but was currently under control with medication. I'd had a few surgeries, had a touch of arthritis from half a lifetime of working jobs on my feet, but rarely ever got sick except maybe with the flu once in a while or a touch of hay fever.
My husband, Jay, worked a job in a factory at the time, and while we weren't even middle-class (well, maybe very low middle-class around here), we were making do even if it was paycheck to paycheck. We didn't have the newest cars, or the biggest house, but they were sufficient. Things weren't always perfect, but as a family, we were happy.
I was your average type 'A' personality: always wanting to keep busy, striving to be the best I could be at work and at home. I worked hard at any job I did, usually rising quickly through promotion. Sometimes I played hard too; one of my favorite things to do when I wasn't working was to ride or groom my horse, and I was learning how to trim her hooves myself, a very physically demanding task.
Christmas week of 2012, however, I came down with a very rare disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome, an auto-immune disease where the body's immune system attacks the lining surrounding the nerves. This effect is sort of like stripping the plastic shielding from around an electrical wire; without the proper shielding, the signal going down the wire travels more slowly, sometimes even stopping completely. This rare condition has been known to cause paralysis and even death. I was essentially paralyzed from the waist down. I was hospitalized for the entire week of Christmas, and spent the next two months recovering from this illness. My recovery was rapid enough to impress the doctors.

Chances are, you know at least a couple of things about Seattle. At any rate, it is one of the most popular cities in America for a myriad of reasons. Whether it is to do with the coffee, music scene, or the weather, the Emerald City has created quite a name for itself. Still, there is a lot more to this lively and enigmatic city. Once you learn more about it, it is doubtless that you will want to visit the region all the more.
Seattle is actually the biggest metropolis in the Pacific Northwest. The city consists of 83.9 square miles. It boasts an impressive shoreline with both freshwater and seawater shorelines. Combined, there are about 200 miles of shoreline. Therefore, it is no wonder that it was determined to be the fourth largest port in America for container handling.
Seattle can be found between Puget Sound in the west and the Washington Lake in the east. Seattle is at the center of a group of cities with Tacoma to the South of the city, Bellevue to its East, and Everett in the North.
In addition to being a major port, Seattle is also known for being a travel entry point into regions such as Alaska and Asia. As a result, it holds a rather important position within the state of Washington.
In 2013, it was declared that Seattle was the largest growing city in terms of population. While it no longer holds this title, it is one of the top five cities for population growth. It is estimated that the city has an annual growth rate of 2.1 percent.
The last official census in 2015 concluded that the population of Seattle stood at 684,451. This meant that since 2010, there had been a 12.5 percent increase in the number of people living in the city. It is one of the most densely populated cities in the States, with almost 8000 people for each square mile.
A majority of this population elevation is due to non-native individuals. The level of development experienced by the city means that people from other states continue moving into Seattle.
The layout of Seattle is a little bit more unusual than in other cities. While there are official government districts, people are typically more used to thinking in terms of regions and neighborhoods.
The main regions of the city are Central Seattle, Northwest Seattle, Northwest Seattle, South Seattle, and West Seattle. Now each of these regions are further divided into areas referred to as neighborhoods. It is important to understand that these neighborhoods aren't actually official. It is more of an informal way to create an understandable layout of the city.
These neighborhoods sprung into existence when Seattle was experiencing its first economic success. As a result, residential areas were hurriedly put together, without any particular plan. However, later on schools, libraries, and various other community centers began to emerge as well. This allowed people to more definitively break up the area into smaller towns that still had the moniker neighborhoods. Altogether, there are over a hundred neighborhoods in Seattle.
Many people believe that Seattle receives the most amount of rain out of any city in the United States. This is only true to a certain extent, however. In terms of measurable rain, Seattle actually is well behind wetter cities such as New York and Chicago. Despite this, Seattle does experience a higher number of rainy days throughout the year. Typically, there is just a drizzle which doesn't actually add up to a lot.
The months of November, December, and January are when the city gets most of its rainfall with November usually being the wettest month. The summers in Seattle can be quite dry and warm although it is incredibly rare for the temperatures to soar too high.
Travelling Within Seattle
Looking to get around but don't want to rely on a car? Well then, there are several options open to you. If you want to explore downtown Seattle, then the Link Light Rail will get you through. The King County Metro Transit will perform the same service but between neighborhoods, on a bus.
Then, you have the Seattle Streetcars. These will be able to get you through South Lake Union Area, Chinatown, and International District. Last but not least is the well-known Seattle Center Monorail which will transport you from downtown Seattle to Queen Anne hill.
Highlights of Seattle
It can be difficult to pinpoint just a handful of reasons to visit Seattle. Whether you are looking for a culinary adventure, are a coffee enthusiast, like music, or love the outdoors, you will be well catered to. Even this, however, does not truly encompass all that Seattle has to offer.
Seattle is a truly one of a kind city which is why it has earned such fame not just in the United States but also all over the world.

Have Jesus followers been inoculated with the culturally-acceptable, civic religion that we've mislabeled "Christianity" in America? Many Christians see Jesus as little more than a divine cashier. Following Jesus in this understanding is basically a transaction where he offers us eternal life in exchange for following a list of rules. Following Jesus for them is transactional, not relational.
The Gospels paint a different picture. One where Jesus calls disciples to join him in a new world called "The Kingdom of God." This world has different values, it requires different thinking, and it shatters our natural priorities. In God's Kingdom, old ways are overturned. Life patterns are inverted. Social patterns are transformed. Everything gets remixed. Our thinking, our living, our values.
This month, I'm exploring this topic through a series of messages at Cross Pointe Church. Check out the first one below, entitled "Successful Failures" (begins at 22:00):

Filed under: Functional, Holiday Edibles | Tags: Bounce, Damn you static cling, frozen sweets, insubordination, Javier Escaname, payroll, Reading is Tough, Starburst Induced Frenzy, wrinkle free living
Holy Jeez. I found all kinds of shit in my yard yesterday morning. I'm not sure how to really process it. The items included a starburst, still in the wrapper, a time sheet, and a dryer sheet.
I'd like to think all of it was left by one person.
The time sheet clearly names Javier Escaname as the culprit. He's an early riser, working 7 to 4PM. So here's probably what went down. Javier, rushing to work in his early morning, starburst induced high, realized that he had a leftover Bounce sheet attached to his sweater (it was cold), and thought, "damn that static cling."
And whilst trying to reach for the offending dryer sheet, leaned forward and from his pocket fell his time sheet and his starburst (his primary source of energy).
I've decided to attach a photo of me trying to read… in my yard.
Filed under: Holiday Edibles | Tags: Diamond Jumbo Walnuts, Empty Nutsack, Helicopter Parenting, oh the irony, Orchard Fresh Dog Balls, Pet Doters, Testicle Necklace, WTF
Yes, I found irony in my front lawn yesterday.
This requires a back story. Last week some friends of mine were having their dog, Charlie, neutered. The dog is easily the most pampered thing on the planet and my friends are clearly going to be insane helicopter parents one day… The dog is bathed more frequently than I bathe myself, he certainly eats better than I do, and I remember distinctly hearing a tale of the pup's rash a few weeks ago. You can almost hear the hovering…
Anyway, after the puppy had his balls chopped, I followed up with my doting friends to see how he was doing, and being the asshole that I am asked casually, "Are you planning on making necklaces from his testicles?" Once the question had been processed, I was met with a biting retort: "We were planning on throwing them in your yard."
No, I didn't find dog testicles in my yard.
But, I did walk out to my car the next morning and found an empty bag of walnuts. WTF?
Filed under: Missing | Tags: Houdini Shit, I will go CSI on your ass, ice age dr. pepper, Michael Crighton couldn't dream this shit up, Michael Crighton is dead silly, Missing trash, Recycling, Stolen canned good, Thirst quenching, Vamoose
As you know, I typically track things in my yard/vicinity of my yard and write up hilariously witty quips describing the events leading up to them ending up in my yard.
Well, for the first time, I'll be cataloging the story of something that is no longer in my yard.
Last night, I was coming home and saw a can of orange soda next to some circular of some sort. This, sadly, is not typically blog worthy. Even as I write this, there is an unopened can of dr pepper somewhere in my lawn buried under a few inches of snow.
However, here's the real story. This morning I was met with a mystery. The can of OPENED orange soda was gone… Vamoose like some houdini shit. All that was left was a series of clues that indicated that sometime between the hours of midnight and 8 AM, someone was thirsty enough to steal an opened can of orange soda from my lawn.
Note the three photos. The first, the scene of the crime, with orange blood spilled across the virgin snow, like a scene out of one of those Michael Crichton novels the kids are reading. The second, evidence of the perp, a foot prints. And the third, finally, a sloppy and clearly hurried exit from the crime scene, spilled orange soda.
The scene of the crime
The getaway car… foot
And they're off…

Ridgeland's Bell names recruiting "short list"
ROSSVILLE, GA (WRCB) -- Vonn Bell is one step closer to choosing his college destination.
Ridgeland's star safety, who ranks among the nation's top recruits in the class of 2013, pared his list of possible suitors down to just seven teams this weekend.
Panthers' head coach Mark Mariakas said Saturday morning that Bell had contacted coaches at Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Texas, and Clemson to inform them he's still interested in their schools.
Mariakas said Bell plans to cut his list down to two teams by Labor Day. Bell told our media partners at the Times Free Press that if he hasn't already done so, he'll announce his final decision at the 2013 Under Armour All-American Game in January.
Bell burst onto the national recruiting scene in December when Mariakas sent out a highlight reel of his breakout junior season.
The video of Bell's teeth-rattling hits and natural football instincts backed up his video game-like stats of 180 tackles (119 solo), five interceptions, three forced fumbles and three fumble recovery returns for a touchdown.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound rising senior garnered his first offer from Georgia's Mark Richt in early January, and took calls from Alabama's Nick Saban and Tennessee's Derek Dooley soon after.
Bell was recently ranked among the nation's top 20 overall prospects by 247sports.com, making him the most sought-after recruit in Mariakas' successful Ridgeland run that has included Alabama signee Mike Bowman, Oklahoma State signee Nigel Nicholas and Georgia signee Devin Bowman.

PhytoVital - Salvia is derived by gentle extraction of the leaves of sage (salvia officinalis). The plant is an aromatic evergreen with gray-green, woolly textured leaves, and mauve-blue flowers in summer. The drier the weather, the grayer the leaf color. There are more than 750 salvias throughout the world. Used are the leaves of this perennial shrub that grows wild in southern Europe and the Mediterranean area, but is cultivated in many other places like the USA. Sage was already used by the Greeks in ancient times against throat inflammation - still one of its most popular uses today. The Chinese also valued sage (Shu-wei-tsao), trading their black tea for it. Sage is a strong antioxidant and antibacterial agent. For centuries it has been used as a mouthwash or swab for infected gums and sores in the mouth. Basically, sage reduces many physical emissions. Sweating is reduced and is therefore employed in body deodorants and antiperspirants. It is a hair and scalp conditioner that brings out dark highlights in the hair. Its astringent effect on the skin and scalp counters excessive oiliness, dandruff and perspiration. PhytoVital - Salvia should be stored at room temperature and protected from light and open air. Low temperatures can cause cloudiness, but this does not influence the activity and normal appearance at temperatures exceeding 15 °C is regained. PhytoVital - Salvia is stable at ambient temperatures in the original unopened container for a minimum of one year. Due to the nature of this product sedimentation may occur but has no negative influence on the material. Since the effect of an extract, like the one of other active ingredients, is dependent on the composition of the ready made product, it is advisable that the efficiency should be tested in the final formulation. The PhytoVital - Extracts are finalized due to a special extraction process. The active principles in all natural products are dependent on time of harvest and climate. The modern phytotherapy has solved this problem as far as possible by standardizing the products to gain an exact reproduction. Reference: H.A. Hoppe, Drogenkunde (1981) / J. Falbe, M.

Our recommendation is to find a good fare. American, Delta, United and Continental will connect in the United States…(Miami, Atlanta or Houston)…LACSA, Copa, and TAME will connect in Central America. All of them are good options.. You will fly into Mariscal Sucre Airport in Quito (uio is the airport code)
A leader from Living and Learning Semester Program will be there to meet you. The airport is easy and organized. You will land, go through immigration where they will stamp your passport and then claim your luggage and leave.
You will be staying in a clean and safe apartment in Quito for most of your time. This apartment is well known to us and willbe properly supervised by our staff. Home stays will be in homes of Ecuadorians that we know and trust. We will have buses for transportation. Quito also has a good public transportation system. Taxis are also available and reasonable.
Although the government changes and volcanoes make the news… we are safe here in Quito. There is occasionally "petty" crime like pick-pocketing…but there is not violent crime. Student safety is L&LI's highest priority. Due to L&LI's long experience with risk assessment, emergency preparedness, and crisis managament, L&LI is able to adapt quickly to dynamic international challenges. Given that socioeconomic, political, environmental, and medical conditions vary, L&LI specifically tailors health, safety and security measures to current circumstances.
L&LI staff are dedicated to addressing health, safety, and risk management issues first from a preparation and prevention approach to reduce risks and second, from an incident response approach that functions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The various types of health and safety situations that arise for individual students are reported to the RCs or Director of Student Life, who works with the Assistant Director and Program Director to respond carefully,appropriately, and swiftly. L&LI staff are trained in risk assessment and crisis management. L&LI infuses safety and security throughout the program curriculum. Key elements of the L&LI model help minimize in-country safety, including:
° Orientation: during the initial orientation period, L&LI staff educate students about potential safety risks and strategies for students to keep themselves safe within their new context. L&LI staff provides further safety and security briefings at key junctures throughout the semester, most notably at times of movement or travel to different locations throughout the country, and at times where public transportation is utilized.
° Homestays: homestays provide students with grounding in the local culture, critical to building realistic perceptions of risk. Host families help students navigate their new surroundings by providing firsthand exposure to local norms, modeling culturally appropriate behavior, and giving precautionary advice about the local environment. Total safety cannot, of course, be guaranteed abroad just as it cannot be guaranteed anywhere. L&LI is committed to taking necessary steps to maximize student safety.
YES. We would recommend you bring one for writing papers for class and for keeping in communication with others in Ecuador and at home. Internet will be provided in your apartment and at our Youth World offices.
Vaccinations: If you do not have one, ask your doctor for an International Certificate of Vaccinations with the inoculation record and keep this with you. It is a yellow passport-size booklet, obtainable either from a hospital or from the state board of health. Everyone, traveler or not, should be up to date on routine vaccinations.
+MMR (measles/mumps/rubella)
+varicella (if you have not had chickenpox)
+tetanus-diptheria (which should be administered every ten years)
+various booster shots as directed by your doctor.
+Yellow Fever
+Hepatitis A
+Hepatitis B
Malaria: Malaria is a parasitic blood disease characterized by fevers, chills, muscle aches, headache, and fatigue. Transmission of malaria occurs by the bite of an infected mosquito. It is critical for you to research and become informed of the risks associated with malaria and preventative measures against infection. Malaria medication is NOT required while traveling to Ecuador BUT please read malaria information on the CDC website. Discuss with your physician the risk of malaria in the areas you will be visiting weighed against known side-effects of anti-malarial drugs.
Yes…all classes (except Spanish class) will be taught in English. Some of the travel and trip options will be in Spanish…but even these we will provide translators into English.
Currency: Ecuador uses the U.S. dollar, so there is no need to exchange money. Ecuador accepts all U.S. coins and bills, but does mint its own coins (half dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies). ATMs are readily available for use; make sure you know your PIN. ATM fees are dependent upon your bank's fees. Traditionally, a $3-5 fee per transaction is debited. Some businesses in Ecuador accept debit and credit cards, but most prefer cash, and often there is a 3% transaction fee associated with international debit and credit card use. Money for incidentals, clinic visits, pre medications, souvenirs, and independent travel plans are the responsibility of the student.
Spending Money: You might want to bring $100-300 in cash (preferably $1, $5 and $10 bills) due to the difficulty of using large bills and obtaining change in Ecuador. L&LI encourages students to open a joint account or add a parent/guardian to their current bank account in the case of needing funds deposited during their time abroad. Call your credit card, debit card and bank branch to communicate travel dates. ATMs are readily available for use; make sure you know your PIN. ATM fees are dependent upon your bank's fees. Traditionally, a $3-5 fee per transaction is debited. Some businesses in Ecuador accept debit and credit cards, but most prefer cash, and often there is a 3% transaction fee associated with international debit and credit card use. Money for incidentals, clinic visits, pre medications, souvenirs, and independent travel plans are the responsibility of the student.
Typical Ecuadorian food is rice, lentils, chicken and/ or beef. However, there are many different kinds of restaurants here and the food is excellent.
Medical care is readily available and there is a large HCJB missionary hospital within 10-15 minutes of anywhere you will be in Quito.
After students are confirmed to participate in Quito Semester they must notify the Quito Semester Program Director and the University Registrar, at your home institution, if they decide to withdraw from the program. Notifications must be in writing or by email. Depending on the date of notification, the following withdrawal/refund policies will be followed.
Students who are accepted into the Quito Semester, confirm their participation with the $500 non-refundable deposit, and withdraw 30 - 45 days before the posted start date for the program are responsible for paying $2,500 of the program fee.
Students who are accepted into the Quito Semester, confirm their participation with the $500 non-refundable deposit, and withdraw within 30 days of the posted start date are responsible for paying $2,500 of the program fee and an airline cancellation fee of the value of the ticket if we bought your ticket as part of the program.
Students who withdraw or are dismissed from the Quito Semester after the program begins may be eligible for a partial refund of the tuition. The program fee will not be refunded. All refunds and withdrawal fees are calculated from the date a written statement of withdrawal or dismissal is received by the Quito Semester Program Director and the University Registrar at your home institution.

You may spend quite a bit of time in a seat these days – in the office, in the tractor or in your truck. Spending large amounts of time seated can strain your body and even result in injury. It is important for your health and wellness to set up an ergonomic workstation in your farm office. Here are some ergonomic tips to help you prevent injury:
1) Seating
Your chair is by far one of the most important changes you can make to create a more ergonomic workspace. Whether you are at your desk or in a vehicle, your chair should have comfortable cushion, armrests, adjustable height and backrest, lumbar support, and if it is a desk chair, it should be able to move with you (swivel and roll).
2) Desktop
Sure you can work on any flat space, but do you really want to risk injury by spending hours without a proper workstation. Make sure your desk is around 30 inches tall - this may need to be higher or lower depending upon your height. Some users have even opted for fully adjustable and standing desks which helps with the aches and pains of staying in one position all day.
3) Keyboard and Mouse
Your keyboard and mouse should stay close together on your desktop. Make sure that the keyboard is directly in front of you so that you maintain the best posture while you work. Focus on a height and placement that allows your elbows to bend close to a 90-degree angle, and avoid bending your wrists to limit strain.
4) Monitors
Adjust your monitor so that it stays at eye level - about three inches from the top of the monitor and an arm's length away. Most monitors have adjusters included in the stand, but if yours does not, consider an add-on or placing your monitor on a desk monitor stand. It is also important to minimize glare on your screens. In addition to display settings on your devices themselves, there are screen covers and film that you can apply to adjust lighting.

The growing number of people excited about actual time participation games has given rise to adventure travel. Just remember, when selecting a business opportunity you wish to be sure to base your alternative on the market that it serves, in this case travel. Losses which can be incurred throughout a trip should be concrete losses that may be confirmed on paper when you're making a travel insurance declare at both CSA or HTH travel insurance firms.
Many unbiased travelers like to visit common vacationer websites as part of their journey, or sign up for excursions to cowl larger areas as a part of their trip just like the volcano area in Guatemala or the wine-rising areas of Argentina. Gay travelers will discover homosexual-owned and homosexual-pleasant lodging in all of England's areas, including institutions that solely serve the gay travel community or specifically homosexual males.
There are numerous other jobs within the travel and tour trade, extending to hospitality, airline, cruise, healthcare, and so on. Whereas the salary in the travel and tour business is just not at all times one of the best, there are advantages like discounts for air tickets and accommodations, among others. After you have found an agent and an insurance coverage policy you might be happy with you'll pay your premium and then you need to obtain your written coverage.
They are the 'now' phrase in all of the travel magazines and leisure pull-outs of local newspapers. It's also known as the Namiseom Island and a highly regarded hot spot among the many travelers coming to Korea. These points can then be used to claim reductions on food, wine and travel; travel insurance coverage; clothes; excessive road discount vouchers; or exchanged for cash.
Countries that are well-known for being widespread travel locations, thrive on this expanded tourist industry, providing new inns, resorts, outdoor pursuits, theater, nightlife, and arts and leisure, all geared toward increasing and maintaining their status quo as top travel locations. Specifically, a traveler to Japan might need to know extra about what is involved in acquiring a travel driver's license.

An other couple of real weird animals, collage created and sent by Nicole Eippers.
I was wondering how these two are named - apart from the well-known Pig silhouet and Butterfly stamp. Fortunately Nicole added some information: the one on the left is a Douroucouli, or Night Monkey, the only monkey who has a totally active night life.
And the - here big, but in real smaller than 1.5 mm - fellow on the right is a Tardigrade (literally 'Slow Walker'), also known as Waterbear, both names have been chosen for the way they walk.
Visual food for thought! Thank you very much, merci beaucoup, Nicole!

Stuck the thread.
Was gonna attempt this one day just glad someone else
took the time to get it done here.
Evesham files link will be on the way to crypto via new member whom also shared
Evesham MCE key.
Im using Acer_700A8481.zip for example.
Click on Acer_700A8481.zip this will take you to another page,
Click on 进入http下载页面 this will also take you to another page,
Then click on the large Blue button this will download the file.
GENUINE C&C INC file seems to be deleted now
@offon7544, did you manage to download it?
You guys rock...
User said he had them and wanted to upload them to old original site and couldn't find an upload option. I told him to upload to rapidshare or megaupload and send the link to crypto as he had just created the thread. Will contact him and see if they will get these uploaded.
Inge001, these are all obsolete/redundant file sets, meaning that the ones posted on the 1st post in this topic cover all currently known SLP strings that can be used to (pre)activate XP.
The obsolete/redundant file sets are partials, doubles etc. the obsolete/redundant sets can NOT activate others/more, all SLP ranges within are covered by the ones on 1st page.
providing double sets with the same or partial SLP strings only may increase confusion for the general user, so in my opinion it is better not to provide these to keep this topic as clean as possible.
FreeStyler & SuicideSolution,
Just wanted to note that the "Microsoft" ones (CRC32=B4FFCA38) are what Windows XP Mode uses, just as an FYI for you guys and anyone else interested (if you did not already know). I just checked the ones I extracted when I got bored and pulled the key/pid from an XP mode install.
Anyone interested, more on that here:
Great find, FreeStyler!
I have updated the archive with 3 more OEMBIOS file sets: Genuine C&C, Positivo and Tarox.
Keep them coming, guys!
Click the required set, in the new view shown click 'Download'... how hard can it be?

It may come as a surprise, but Frou Frou was really like a kind of little holiday from my own work. Guy and I, we have always worked together, and then over the years, it became clear that we wanted to do a whole album together. It was very organic and spontaneous - just one of those wonderful things that happens.
I always loved silent movies. I was not a specialist, but I loved them. And when I started directing, I became really fascinated by the format - how it works, the device of the silent movie. It's not the same form of expression as a talkie. The lack of sounds makes you participate in the storytelling.

I pulled out another of my beautiful Grizzly Mountain Arts shuttles today. I call this one the Black Widow, not because of the beautiful spider web on this side.
It's because of this side. I do love this shuttle! The Ice Drop isn't too bad, either. 😌
My friend Denise started a crocheted triangle shaw using the linen stitch. Hers was so pretty, I decided to crochet one also. The yarn is Impeccable from Loops & Threads, and the color is Folklore. This is a worsted weight yarn, so I had to move my crochet hook up from an H to a J to get some drape. Denise is doing hers in Lion Brand Mandala. I'm going to crochet one out of that, too. Denise is using a pink and gray combo. Mine will be... blue, of course!

I find myself deeply puzzled by the anger and angst that some of my most respected blogging friends have expressed lately regarding creative commons licenses in general, and Movable Type's implementation of those licenses as an option in version 2.6 in particular.
So, dear readers, help me understand why allowing your words to be distributed freely is such a frightening concept, particularly in the context of weblogs.
As someone who's struggled to get more than one book out under a deadline--and had to live off the fruits of her intellectual and creative efforts for longer than she'd like--I'm certainly not advocating the Swartzian position that profiting from those efforts is a form of theft.
But the CC licensing does not restrict you from profiting from your works. It allows others to distribute your copyrighted work--typically with attribution, and not for commercial use (that appears to be the version most folks choose).
If my weblog content is broadly distributed, with attribution, it helps me. It extends my reputation, makes me recognizable. And if I later choose to write a book that draws from my weblog material, I think it's that much more likely to have buyers.
Cory Doctorow's experience with Down & Out in the Magic Kingdom seems to support this idea. While the work is freely downloadable and distributable, it hasn't stopped him from selling copies of the published work. (Same argument so many use in the context of music distribution--I'm among those who buy more CDs because of the samples of work I download online.)
When I supported myself and my family as an Internet trainer, I made all of my materials available freely online--because I knew that my presentation of the materials was what was valuable. When I bought my copy of Down & Out, I did so in part because I felt it was the right thing to do, but also because I'd much rather read a nicely-bound hardcover book than screen after screen of digital text.
Weblogs are a nice way to read small chunks of content--but I wouldn't pay for them. I might, however, pay for a work deriving from that content, which is something that most CC licenses do not grant, but that I as copyright holder can create (and profit from).
I think critics are right that it would help if CC provided both sides of the argument on their site. But given that MT is specifically a weblog management system, and that weblogs are a medium based intrinsically on sharing of content (through links at the very least), including CC licensing capability as a part of MT strikes me as a pretty reasonable approach.
In the comments on Tim Hadley's excellent analysis of the CC licenses, one person asked rather plaintively why anyone would want to use a CC license, and I responded there, pointing to the CC site. I suppose what I'm still looking for is a convincing argument as to why someone wouldn't want to use the CC license on their weblog. Why shouldn't the "commons" approach of free distribution of ideas be the default rather than the exception? Can someone pointn me to an example of specific harm--past or anticipated--that they see resulting from these licenses?
A while back, Shelley posted something that confused the issue a bit, by implying that use of a CC license was tantamount to (a) placing a work in the public domain, and (b) renouncing copyright. Neither is true. The example she used, in which she excerpted someone else's text--without attribution--would clearly violate the terms of most CC licenses. As would her suggestion that "you could even charge for this writing."
Besides not being an accurate depiction of the impact of a CC license, it also made the error that so many of my students make when they plagiarize on a paper. It confuses the legal obligation of copyright with the moral obligation of intellectual honesty. CC license or no, I'm likely to ask Shelley's permission before excerpting more than a line or two of her work. And I would always cite her as the source.
Update: Ooops. I goofed. Just noticed that the site Shelley used as an example had used one of the less commonly-used CC licenses, which does in fact dedicate all of the work to the public domain. However, that still doesn't address the difference between legal and ethical responsibility. While Shelley could legally use Doc's words under that license, that's an explicit choice he's making. And if she does use those words, and fails to cite them, it's still intellectually dishonest. If she did it on a paper she turned in to me for a class (or in a "briefing document," as the UK govt did), she'd be called out for plagiarizing. That's a whole different issue than the legality of using the material...
Jonathon, in his post today, says that CC "does a shithouse job of explaining why people might choose not to use their license ... But that�s less of an issue, now that Tim Hadley has done the job properly." But I don't see that in Tim's analysis. It's not a discussion of why you wouldn't want to use the license--it's a discussion of what the legal boundaries of that license are.
So..."Jonathon":http://weblog.delacour.net? Shelley? How 'bout a "non-shithouse" version of why people might choose not to use the license, that can live side-by-side with the CC discussion of why they should? Not a harangue, or a sky-is-falling piece, but a thoughtful analysis of the potential harm that could come to a writer as a result of adding the license to his or her work.
