You asked whether qualified organizations will still be able to conduct bingo if the legislature repeals the Las Vegas night statutes. The Office of Legislative Research is not authorized to give legal opinions and this report should not be construed as such.
If the legislature repeals the Las Vegas night statutes, qualified organizations will still be able to conduct bingo and all the other authorized forms of charitable gaming specified in law (bazaars and raffles, sealed tickets, and recreational bingo). By law, bingo does not fall within the definition of Las Vegas nights and both types of gaming are governed by different statutes. The statutes authorizing and outlining the procedures for playing bingo are CGS §§ 7-169 through 7-169c. The Las Vegas night statutes are CGS §§ 7-186a through 7-186q. CGS § 7-186k requires the Division of Special Revenue (DSR) director to adopt regulations to implement the Las Vegas night statutes.
DSR regulations identify the following as permissible Las Vegas night games and equipment:
1. blackjack and blackjack equipment,
2. poker and poker tables,
3. dice and dice tables,
4. money-wheels,
5. roulette and roulette wheels and tables,
6. baccarat,
7. chuck-a-luck and chuck-a-luck tables,
8. pan game,
9. over and under,
10. horse race game and equipment including miniature horses and oval track,
11. acey-ducey and acey-ducey tables,
12. beat the dealer,
13. bouncing ball, and
14. other games and equipment DSR approves (Conn. Agency Reg. § 7-186k-15).
Both the games and equipment must be registered with DSR.

Product and version
FileMaker Go 15.0.3
OS and version
iOS 9 / 10
Same for all tested iPad models (3 / Air / Air 2 / Pro)
As per this thread: Printing/PDF Web Viewer in FileMaker Go; content always rendered as image
I noticed that when printing a web viewer in FileMaker Go (15.0.3) to PDF the content always gets rendered as an image (as opposed to FileMaker Pro). Unfortunately, the quality of the rendering is quite bad and makes working with PDFs generated like this not practical.
Attached is a PDF generated with FileMaker Pro 15 and a PDF generated with FileMaker Go 15. Same file, same script (basically just calling "Save Records as PDF").
I don't remember this was ever an issue in the past and fonts and objects inside a web viewer were treated like actual fonts and pathes. The image rendering even takes place when printing a web viewer that contains a single SVG file (rendering of the vector graphic also blurry).
How to replicate
Add a web viewer to a layout, place any HTML or SVG content inside, call "Save Records as PDF".
None that I am aware of.

Korean Diaries : Back To Namma Bengaluru
After a stint of nearly 8 weeks abroad in South Korea, it was finally time to return back to the homeland. The return journey was more or less eventless with a few eye candies thrown here and there. Just a week before my return journey , the cherry blossoms had started to appear. And these blossoms are quite famous with tourists visiting Korea during the spring season. These flower filled trees offer a spectacular sight.
My return date was scheduled on 17 th April and I was to board an afternoon flight to Hong- Kong, this being the first leg of the journey. Boarded a bus to airport from Suwon. The bus journey was eventless except at one point when a small truck grazed the bus. Both the drivers got into an argument initially and within seconds a partol police arrived to book a case and to be further continued in a court I guess :P. So this entire process ended within 10 mins . Imagine the same situation taking place in Bengaluru :P. Also the view of the view of the Incheon bridge running nearly 5-6 kms in the open sea connecting the Incheon airport to the mainland offers a breathtaking view. This I had failed to observe the previous time becoz of nightfall.
The first leg of the journey lasted for some 3.5 hrs and I clicked some pics from the aircraft window.
According to the iternary was supposed to wait nearly 5 hrs for the next connecting flight to Bangalore. But believe me, 5 hrs of time can be easily spent in this huge airport. Even walking from one end to the other takes a lot of time and me guessing the length of the airport to be a couple of kms :P.
The second leg of the journey lasted for nearly 7 hrs. This was a bit tiring and boring too. But the high points being when flying over the Bay of Bengal it being a moonless night, dark abyss as far as my eyes could see and stars illuminating the sky with such a concentration only one could imagine. Also when flying above the city of Chennai at around 38,000 ft we chanced upon a cloudless night. The view of Chennai at this height is simply spectacular….. simply whoa!!!!! The entire city illuminated like a jewel against the dark background.
Reached Bangalore at around 2 am. Had some cramp-ons in my checked-in luggage. So my luggage was singled out with a big "X" marks on it. The customs guy then caught hold of me bcoz of that. Some smooth talking from my side resulted in exiting from the airport without any fuss :P. The taxi guy asked whether I wanted ac????? I told no, since it was long time since the smelled my city of Bengaluru …….. Awesome to be back in India :)

The train's cacophonic horns won't quit.
An iron horse disturbs my sleep at night.
Nothing anybody can do about it.
I keep my windows open, and admit
my dreams are filled with dolorite.
The klaxons will not quit.
I can't forget their hawkish spit—
saussurites, small–handed pigeonites.
Nothing anybody can do about it.
To women who parade their wit a bit
some men have never been contrite.
Loud howls behind the stage don't quit.
The corner men on streets aren't fit
to taste our tits. We have no appetite.
Their poor demented yaps should quit.
We'll make them eat their words, their boorish bit
those impolite, hedonite parasites.
Nothing anybody can do about it
The train's cacophonic squeals must quit.

Community Netiquette: How to Avoid Stepping on Virtual Toes
Community Guy
Good community netiquette dictates that you participate with, not market to each community, and that's no quick or easy task. To wrap up any discussion of Community Netiquette, it's a hard requirement that marketing and sales is mentioned. Most of us know that in the typical online community, it's not kosher to post blatant marketing materials.

Can Past Prescription Drug Abuse Cause Ms-like Symptoms/diagnosis?
Asked by Jessica H.
Can Past Prescription Drug Abuse Cause Ms-like Symptoms/diagnosis?
My question is this: I have a very clear diagnosis of MS, however my husband (who is not supportive AT ALL) believes that my past abuse of prescription sleep aids has brought this upon myself. He believes I have been misdiagnosed and that the past medication abuse is what has caused the lesions in my brain and spine, and all of my associated problems. Could this be possible? I am looking for serious answers, not just to prove him incorrect, but also to alleviate my own guilt. Thank you.
Hi Jessica,
I'm sorry to hear that your husband is not supportive. It is so very important to have support at home when dealing with a diagnosis of MS and then when learning how to live with the disease.
I searched pubmed.gov, a clearing house for medical publications, and found nothing discussing common sleep aids and brain lesions.
I did find ONE article published in Psychology Today (2010) which discusses benzodiazepine use and changes in the brain such as enlarged cerebral ventricles. (http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/side-effects/201011/brain-damage-benzodiazepines-the-troubling-facts-risks-and-history-minor-tr)
Cerebral atrophy and ventricular enlargement can be seen even in clinically isolated syndrome and early MS. (http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/73/2/141.full)
I have never read any MS-related publications which would suggest that previous drug use (or abuse) might cause MS. If you used benzo's, and have ventricular enlargement, and develop MS, then it could all be a coincidence. I'm not a medical professional, so I don't know. But I couldn't find any connection of brain lesions to sleeping pill use in the literature.
I hope that this helps in talking to your husband about learning what to do NOW that you do have MS. You can contact your local NMSS chapter (http://nmss.org) to find support groups or educational seminars in your area.
So how are you doing with the MS?

LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC/CNN) -- It was an unexpected ending to CNN talk-show host Larry King's run Thursday night. The monumental event concluded with a live performance from Southwest Louisiana.
During a concert at the L'Auberge du lac Casino and Resort, singer Tony Bennett performed "The Best is Yet to Come," for the retiring host via satellite. After 25 years, King is stepping away from the microphone during prime-time.
Thursday's program on CNN included an A-list of stars who paid tribute to King, including Bennett. Bennett's concert at L'Auberge Thursday night was a private event. The public concert planned for Friday is sold out. Guests paid at least $85 per ticket for Friday's performance according to prices listed on the resort's website.

You are getting a bad response because your questions are not clear and do not show any actual attempt to solve the problem.
You will get a better result if you clearly state what your goal is, show a sample of failed code, and describe the error/bad result from your attempt. Read the How (Not) to Ask a Question node linked elsewhere in the thread.
For example, if you had said, "I need to iterate over the array reference stored in the 'Fruits' key and find all cases where the grandchild key is 'Orange'. Here's what I've tried: ... some code goes here...", you would probably have an answer by now.
Your questions make giving you the answer you want impossible. Nobody really knows what you really want. Someone might hit on it in with a lucky guess, but do you want to rely on an improbable chance?
Here's where I take a guess at helping you. Your variable name is '$xml'. Are you getting this data structure from an XML file? It's a needlessly complex structure. What tools are you using to parse the XML? Maybe a different library would be helpful. There are tons of libraries for XML munging that may make solving your problem trivial. If the data doesn't come from an XML file, you may wish to change your variable name, and simplify the data structure.
Update: Take a look at Iterating over an array variable times for an example of an unclear question followed up by a good problem statement.

And here they are, my latest pair! An awesome set of slip ons from Faded Glory featuring Yoko and Nia from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan, the anime that goes beyond the impossible and kicks reason to the curb! These bad boys will be on sale at NDK, in a cool Men's size 10.
I always loved this anime. To make a story short, Gurren Lagann revolves around the journey of Simon, an orphaned child and Kamia his self declared big brother. Both live in an underground village, but Kamina decides to bust to the surface and show everyone that there's such a thing. It's very optimistic and hopeful and coming from Studio Gainax, There's great animation quality coming out from them. This show also feels very complete - from start to finish, there's this sense of wholeness like everything that the show throws at you belongs. And it's really inspiring. You really have to watch this to see the journeys that all the characters go through.
Pictured on the shoes here are Yoko, the big guns hunter from the surface...
... and Nia, a charming little girl from that strange box.
They're both awesome characters and just as famous as the main male character duo.
These were really fun shoes once I got into it. The hardest thing was trying to figure out how to put the images on. Once that was out of the way, these were really fun to do. Especially Nia's hair - her cloud hair of yellow and blue is just an awesome combo.
I'm hoping you guys enjoy all my work so far! I'm hoping to get as many shoes done as possible in as many different areas as I can! Thanks for reading and I'll see you on my next pair!

This collection celebrates the onscreen legacy of Sir Edmund Hillary — from triumphs of endurance (first atop Everest, tractors to the South Pole, boats up the Ganges) and a lifetime of humanitarian work, to priceless adventures in the NZ outdoors. Tom Scott and Mark Sainsbury — Ed's TV biographers-turned-mates — offer their own memories of the man.
This end of season Sing special from 1975 takes place mostly in the Wild West. After some song and dance numbers and comedy, we meet two small-time crooks: Lone Wolf (Ray Woolf) and Crazy D (Laurie Dee). A musical showdown at the saloon ensues — featuring a Tom Jones medley — before a bungled bank robbery brings down the burglars. The performers include Craig Scott, Chic Littlewood, Angela Ayers and George Tumahai (who shows Woolf how to hongi). The show also contains a rare clip from A Going Concern, an early NZ soap of which no known episodes survive.
The meteoric career of one of NZ's greatest entertainers is examined in this documentary. John Rowles went from a Kawerau childhood to stardom in London at 21; but, after headlining in Hawaii and Las Vegas, he saw it all slip away. Those roofing ads and near bankruptcy followed, but Rowles has retained his self belief and that voice. A stellar cast of interviewees analyse his strengths and weaknesses, including Sir Cliff Richard, Tom Jones, Neil Finn and late promoter Phil Warren. Amongst the star cameos, John's sister Cheryl Moana explains the downside of his best-known local hit.
New Zealand's representatives in parliament have had some of their most memorable moments captured on camera. This collection showcases their screen legacy: from stirring addresses (Kirk), feisty debates (Muldoon, Lange, Olympic boycotts), revolutions, nukes, and snap elections, to political punches (Bob Jones), and young leaders (Clark). Listener writer Toby Manhire writes about Kiwi politicians on screen here.
The birth of television in the 1960s meant that suddenly protests and civil unrest could be broadcast directly into Kiwi homes. This episode of 50 Years of New Zealand Television looks at many of those events — involving everything from the Vietnam War and the Springbok tour, to Bastion Point and the Homosexual Law Reform Act. It also examines how being televised altered their impact. Interviews with both protestors and reporters provide a unique insight into what it was like to be living through extraordinary periods of New Zealand history.
Brit MP Austin Mitchell began his career as a lecturer and broadcaster in New Zealand, back in the 1960s. He went on to write about Aotearoa in classic 1972 book The Half Gallon Quarter Acre Pavlova Paradise. In this final part of his 2002 return to Godzone, Mitchell takes Auckland's pulse in a pre-Supercity era, with John Banks as mayor and the America's Cup in the cabinet. He also examines music and sport. The series ends with musings on Kiwi identity from Helen Clark, Sam Neill, and Michael King. Look out for a young Valerie Adams roughly 4 minutes 30 seconds into clip four.
This Lookout special follows colourful property tycoon Bob Jones hustling on the 1984 campaign trail, and talking up his newly-formed New Zealand Party. The outspoken advocate for free market liberalisation drew crowds at halls across New Zealand. The Rocky theme music shamelessly plays as boxing fan Jones approaches the rostrum. The party was ultimately short-lived and won no seats, but achieved its goal of denying National a third term by splitting the vote. The documentary includes scenes of the libertarian attempting to dictate how television media filmed him.
This second episode of the three-part series following British MP Austin Mitchell's return to the country where he began his career in (as a broadcaster and author of 1972 book The Half Gallon Quarter Acre Pavlova Paradise) sees a focus on politics. The former Canterbury University political scientist gives a potted political history, from the roots of a conservative Kiwi political mien to the radical changes wrought by Lange's 80s Labour government and the rise of women 'on the hill'. Finally he considers tourism, Treaty settlements and the aspirations of Māori.
Surveying All Blacks rugby from 1905 until 1967, this wide-ranging documentary is framed around the NZ Rugby Football Union's 75th jubilee celebrations. The archival gold mine includes matches from the 1905 Originals and 1924 Invincibles tours, and clashes with Springboks, British Lions, Wallabies and French rivals. There's also footage of NZ schoolboy and NZ Māori clashes, and a jubilee match with Australia. Funded by Caltex NZ, the documentary was made by legendary Pacific Films co-founder John O'Shea. Press on the backgrounds tab for a list — in order — of all the matches.
Kawerau-raised John Rowles was inspired to become a singer after witnessing Māori showbands like The Howard Morrison Quartet. Following varied musical ventures in Australia, he was invited to England by manager Peter Gormley, to join Gormley's roster of ballad singers like Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck. Ballad 'If I Only had Time' got to three on the UK charts in 1968; fourth single 'M'Lady' did best in Aotearoa. In the 70s Rowles became a nightclub fixture in Honolulu and Las Vegas, punctuated by occasional NZ hits and tours. By the 80s he was living in Australia. His autobiography landed in 2012.

Dec 30, 2017: Mother of Learning is a fantasy/mystery/adventure/etc about a person stuck in a time loop. It is a long novel, almost 600,000 words right now, and it's not done quite yet but the author is good about regular updates. This book is suitable for young adults and older. There is some swearing, including a few f-bombs. No sex stuff, and there's a fair amount of fighting but no blood and guts.
The Good: The main character is well developed, unlike some novels that I've read. As we read, we learn about Zorian's past and why he is the way he is, and as he has adventures he changes. Think about a lot of stories, especially series, where the characters don't learn and grow. Mother of Learning is not like that. The other main character in the time loop is also described pretty well and grows. Most of the other characters don't grow much, but that's because they keep getting reset because of the time loop. The grammar and mechanics of this story are excellent.
The Bad: Unfortunately, the author, nobody103, has been working on Mother of Learning for more than six years. And it's Not. Done. Yet. (On the good side, he's good about updating.) Characterization of secondary characters isn't so good. The magic system has too many ways to get magic done (potions, alchemy, spellcasting, telepathy, and more) without showing how they're related.
My Recommendation: I recommend it for anyone who likes fantasy and isn't scared by a long book. I have nothing more to say on that because I really like this book and think it's suitable for everyone.

City of Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille is asking the court to ensure a vote of no confidence in her is conducted via secret ballot.
Mayor Patricia de Lille has argued in court the Democratic Alliance (DA) wants to manipulate the rules of the council to boot her out.
De Lille is asking the court to ensure a vote of no confidence in her is conducted via secret ballot.
The Cape Town Council will debate the motion brought by the DA on Thursday.
The public gallery is packed with de Lille's supporters wearing T-shirts with the slogan "KeepMayorDeLille".
Advocate Dali Mpofu, a member of the Economic Freedom Fighters, is representing the City of Cape Town mayor.
He's argued the only vote that will be "free" is a secret vote.
Mpofu has labelled the DA's motion a sham, saying they want to get rid of her by manipulating the rules of council.
He says party bosses want to distance themselves from her removal, by doing it on council level through a motion of no confidence.
The DA says it does not have a personal vendetta against de Lille but is pursuing her removal because of misconduct.

Today's going to be a little different. I read a lot, but I also watch a lot of movies and shows when I can, so I wanted to do something a little different for this blog post and write up a bit about a show I just started watching: Riverdale.
I am watching this show on Netflix.
Chapter One – The River's Edge
For those of you readers who have seen it, this may be nothing new. For those of you who have no desir to see it, but are curious what it's about… well… Carry on!
Now, I grew up with the Archie comics that were featured in the Comics section of the Sunday paper. I remember Archie as a fun-loving, goofy kid/teen who loved milkshakes (he was ALWAYS in a diner drinking a milkshake if he wasn't at school) and had some kind of, not exactly, love triangle going on with him, Veronica, and Betty (I never really could tell his exact feelings for either girl, poor things). That said, it's been YEARS since I've even seen an Archie comic, much less read one. So, let's pretend I'm coming into the show blind and I don't know anything about the comics.
Trust me. This is for the best.
For those who've never read the comics, the show is basically a more contemporary murder-mystery form of both The Vampire Diaries that revolves along the same lines as Gossip Girl. There's enough sex and drama to drown a cat that knows how to swim. Add to that a murder mystery where there's no body – just the word of the missing boy's twin sister – and you've got yourself a classic who-done-it-with-who show.
Seriously. Because for the first episode, that seemed to be the main focus: sex. Who was screwing around with who and why.
I remember loving Archie in the comics. This guy? Not so much. He's stringing two girls along all the while he has the hots for teacher.
Yup. You read that right. Not only is he in some weird love triangle, but it's more like a love square. Over the summer, he had an affair with his teacher – how did no one not notice this?!? – and he's become a bit obsessed with her. At least, that's the vibe I got every time he looked at her when she was in the same scene.
It's covered up with his closet-poet-like manner. He's been writing songs and she is the music teacher, but I don't know how much of it is that he really wants help with his music and how much of it is that he wants to spend time with her and will do anything he can to make it happen. I just don't know.
If you set aside any and all comic differences and take the show in the feat that it is – a sex-filled murder mystery – it's actually decent. There's enough intrigue to make me want to continue watching at least.
First, there's the main mystery. A pair of twins went out in a row boat on July 4th and the girl of the pair was found huddled up on some rocks, soaking wet, claiming her brother had drowned. Cheryl comes across as a victim in the first couple of scenes we see her in, as a drowned rat, but as the episode progresses, it's easy to see the grade-A bitch she is.
Then, there's Veronica's family. Her father is being charged with embezzlement, and she and her mother have moved to Riverdale to start anew. While Veronica seems like a nice person, I'm not certain I trust her, and I definitely don't trust her mother. I can't explain it either. Maybe because she quickly becomes friends with Betty, who's broadcasted as the outcast from the get-go, and I've seen that too many times as a revenge plot. Bleh. As for her mother, I honestly thought she was set on starting a new life until she opened a bag that had been reported "missing" and there was a bunch of cash inside. Red flag there. Big red flag.
Jughead as the narrator of it all is interesting, especially when we find out – near the end, mind you, although it's probably noticable as he's narrorating the entire thing – that he's writing a novel about the town. The episodes are called chapters rather than episodes, which I thought paired along with Jughead's character in the show and the fact that he's writing the story about the town and all its secrets.
Murder Mystery Theories
Theories about the mysteries! First of all, we have the missing/dead twin. Everyone believes he's dead, and there's confirmation one way or the other at the end of the episode. It's a murder mystery show. I wonder which way it was confirmed. Hmmm…
I don't understand the twins. On one side, we have people saying that they're decent people. On the other, there's hate and anger. Understandable. Especially when they're the richest family in town to rival Veronica's wealth. What I don't get what they were even doing out on the water, and then the quote from Cheryl about being afraid? What? What was she even talking about?
From the moment she uttered those words, I suspected she had a larger part to play in her beloved brother's disappearance. I don't trust her. She's mean, spiteful, and a straight up (and I absolutely HATE this word, so you should know how much I dispise the girl since I'm using it) cunt. My theory: the brother, Jason, comitted suicide. But he had help. You guessed it. His sister.
Why? That's the mystery for me. Like I said, I don't understand the twins. Granted, we only see one half of them. I would love to see some flashback clips of Jason to see what he was like, but something tells me I'm not going to get them. Either way, that's my theory so far.
I don't know what's going on with Veronica's family. Her father's been charged with embezzlement, but I don't know if the mother's involved or not, although I have my suspicions she is. Is the daughter involved with the embezzlement? I think not. Still, I don't trust her either as she seems to be good at causing trouble herself, and I'm still not certain her friendship with Betty is an honest-to-goodness one rather than her using the blonde. I realize they had a friendship in the comics, but this is DEFINITELY not the comics. It's too dark, has too much sex, and there's no humor, which was one of the best things about the comic actually.
Favorite Character
Honestly, the best character so far has been Archie's dad, Fred, who made a comment when he discovered Archie was lying to his teacher and him about his priorities, about being confident in himself. He's been upfront with everyone: Archie, Veronica's mother, himself. The man deserves a gold star. He didn't have much screen time in this episode, but every time he did, he was a godsend.
Memorable Quotes
"You wanted fire? Sorry, Cheryl Bombshell, my specialty is ice." ~ Veronica Lodge
"If you mean Betty: whatever happened, just talk to her. You know, it'd go a long way." *pauses* "It would have gone a long way with me." ~ Jughead Jones
"But some advice, man-to-man? These decisions that you're making now, son, they have consequences. They go on to form who you are and who you'll become. Whatever you decide, be confident enough in it that you don't have to lie." ~ Fred Andrews
While this show is almost absolutely nothing like the comics I remember, besides the fact that the main characters all have the same names, I'm interested enough that I'm going on to episode two, and I'll give it three episodes before I make a final decision about it. We'll see how it turns out…
Have you watched this show? What did you think about it?

Designer & Photographer
Welcome to Lotts of Designs, the Portfolio of Amanda Michelle Lott.
If you ask anyone I know, they would probably confirm that I have always loved designing, creating things by hand, and taking photos. When I was a little girl, I had several disposable cameras and always loved capturing every moment I could, from family gatherings, to everyday life and venturing into nature and textures. I was often referred to as the "paparazzi" of the family. Now that I have my own little guys, I intend to capture as much of their life as I can, and the special memories of others.
My desire is to help bring to life the visions of others as well as reveal the ideas God has placed in my mind and heart, and capture the beauty in God's creation and nature.
Please browse around for examples of my work and explore some of the special moments I have captured.
I love to capture moments, and turn them into beautiful design like invitations, save the dates, event decor, marketing collateral, social media content, etc.
Feel free to contact me at email@example.com with any questions or ideas you have that you'd like to see come to reality.

Almost a year ago, BlueVillas Collection team attended Le Miami; an international event where travel brands and buyers from the global luxury tourism scene get together to make a shift in the industry. This year, BlueVillas team is charging their batteries to attend the event again with even more enthusiasm. When? 25 - 28 June 2017, of course.
Can a class bring a change to the whole luxury industry? Yes, it can. The emergence of the creative class drives the industry to an experiential, authentic and bespoke style, that distances itself from the traditional opulent holidays. But can we simply stay relevant, or do we need to make the change within?
Creativity, innovation, storytelling and originality are the core elements of BlueVillas and that is why, we believe in the shift and they will be happy to share their vision with other teams in the Limited Edition Collective. BlueVillas believes that the combination of the local character and personalized services in order to make unique experiences and memories tailor mad to each guest. We try to provide them with everything they need, before they ask for it.
But there is always room for inspiration! So, let's meet for the shift. Le Miami 2017 means 4 days of networking events and parties ahead of us. Besides that, Christos Gkekas, the founder and CEO of BlueVillas Collection, and the Marketing Manager, Spyridon Kagkas will be waiting for you at booth 1710. Join them.

|Row, row, row your boat...
When I was a child, I used to sing and listen this beautiful song with my daddy. It's great to listen and sing it again and again 30 years later, hehehe.
I love teaching this song to my students, specially when they're in the infant education.
Do you want to sing it too? Let's watch the next video!!
I hope you enjoy your holidays and have great experiences!
Kisses and hugs,

One month into the live shows and this series is already starting to flatline. What the X Factor Australia desperately needs is a shake up because right now, the only thing raising my blood pressure is the shock eliminations and the fact that actually entertaining performers are winding up in the bottom two.
At this point everything that was promising in the first live show has basically turned to dust. The stage spectacle, innovative song choices and styling are fading to a glimmer as all the consistent performers become painfully predictable and safe. The thrill is gone, y'all. When you no longer get wet with excitement to see your faves come out and do their thing, putting up with the other filler acts becomes almost unbearable.
Basically, nine acts hit the stage this week to recapture hits of the nineties and only one managed to slay. Major kudos to Christina Parie, who was the only contestant that bothered to show us something new. After three weeks of seeing her bounce around the stage – just being Miley – the girl turned up this week in a black dress and sat herself behind a piano to deliver her first ballad.
Elsewhere, Guy Sebastian was trying something new in the sonic department, genre-mating and taking admirable risks with song arrangements. However, I think he kinda missed the point with all this musical innovation because, let's be real, this is a television show. Try as hard as you might to paint your artists with a new sound, but if it doesn't come complete with a new look and performance art – your vision is only half realised.
Ronan Keating arguably has the most exciting category but at a point in the competition where nobody has any business slacking off, he appears to be taking the easy road with his groups. The visual presentation and song arrangements for Young Men's Society and Audio Vixen no longer excite like they used to. His mixed pop/R&B group – Three Wishez – continue to change their game, making the most of their unique position [read: actually having three individual performers].
Nat Bassingthwaighte had her boys – Mitchell Callaway and Andrew Wishart – tugging at heartstrings with major power ballads 'Everybody Hurts' and 'Nothing Compares 2 U' respectively. It is understandably safe and overly emosh, but she knows who both acts appeal to and what their demographic expects. I don't feel compelled for Nat to make any drastic changes because any outlandish staging and experimental song choices would just appear too forced for these two. There really is only so much you can do with her mature-aged warblers.
Check out the hits and misses in this week's nineties-themed show, and of course, the shock Power Bottom Two:
1) Christina Parie giving us a "Natalie Gauci moment".
Oh my god, y'guys. Christina can play the piano? What a talented young thing she is. *Masticates on gum loudly* I reckon this still stripped back performance was not just the highlight of the night but one we'll definitely look back on to be a defining moment for the entire series. This is exactly what I crave on a week to week basis. I need for great contestants to come out and demonstrate versatility, showmanship and some recording artist readiness.
Watch Christina Parie cover The Cranberries' classic 'Zombie':
2) YMS divides the panel with 'Black or White'.
This is a classic case of biting off more than you can chew. Y'all know Ronan was being too ambitious when he assigned YMS to do a song-and-dance cover of Michael Jackson's 'Black or White'. The problem with this isn't so much the "untouchable music legend" thing. I'm sure there are loads of artists that have covered Michael Jackson before to surprising success. But here's the thing, those that do it well did it by injecting their own personality and slant on it. The best tribute performances and covers aren't always about doing it exactly like the original. It's about capturing the essence and spirit of the song in your own way.
Looking at YMS' rendition of 'Black or White', I struggle to find anything really distinct that signifies their take on it. And I think the worst part was hearing how it was so vocally compromised.
Take a look for yourselves:
3) Guy Sebastian's sonic Frankensteins.
You really have to commend Guy Sebastian for being the only judge thinking outside the square this week. The 'Elevator Love' singer went into innovation overdrive, genre-mating tracks for his three boys but sadly it wasn't exactly well received by everyone.
Johnny Ruffo got a modern Chris Brown-type interpretation of a Meatloaf track. That didn't sit well with most people but I reckon if y'all stopped getting so hung up on it being a "Meatloaf track" and actually listened to the song as it is, you'll find that it worked just fine. Meanwhile, Reece Mastin got pulled up on a questionable punk reinvention of Alanis Morissette's 'Ironic', which really only starts to reveal its worth after two or three listens – a luxury you don't have for a one-off live TV performance.
But the ultimate mother of all flop experiments came with Declan Sykes' dark electronica reimagination of Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. Gurl, I was left clutching my pearls wondering what the fuck just happened. Not even the immaculate staging and strobe lights could distract from the awkward, alienating and indulgent vocal performance Sykes gave.
Watch Declan's divisive cover of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. In another life, this track would've made for a decent Rob Dougan remix of said 90s classic.
4) Mel B's Comment of The Week:
"I felt like somebody had spiked my drink and I was in this weird nightmare, and I needed to wake up bloody quick! That was a trip I never wanna go on. Never again. Get me out of here!" – On Declan Sykes' bizarre performance.
My thoughts exactly.
This week's Power Bottom Two: Audio Vixen and Johnny Ruffo.
Let me just say, it was a major hell no to see these two wind up in the bottom especially when there are beige warblers (Mitchell Callaway and Andrew Wishart) and awkward performers (Declan Sykes) still crawling about. There would be no sigh of relief and no happy ending either way with this situation and let me tell you why.
Both Audio Vixen and Johnny Ruffo are actually well capable performers in their own right – both purveying completely different styles, appeals and vocal abilities. However, here's where the loosely-defined "X-Factor" comes into question. Is this a talent show based on vocal abilities alone or are we talking about an overall "star quality" that really reads great "marketability"?
The decider basically came down to Mel B after Nat and Ronan opted to send Johnny Ruffo home. Old Scary made a controversial call to keep the vocally-inferior Johnny Ruffo over the polished brother-sister group because she felt that the lad was more "marketable".
Let's get real for a minute here. Both Audio Vixen and Johnny Ruffo are well marketable in their own right but not necessarily to the same demographic. You can imagine Audio Vixen selling albums and doing amazingly well in the country/adult contemporary field while Johnny's probably more of a pop singles seller. When Mel decided that Johnny was more "marketable" than the trio, what she's really doing is choosing the one more readily marketable to the immediate teen girl demographic, which we all know is the core voting group here. It was a very specific preference for one market.
There was further drama with Old Scary's verdict when she outright said that she won't throw it to deadlock – which renders it to an elimination by lowest public's vote – only to actually throw it to deadlock [Watch 9:30 mark below]. Gurl, do you know how this works?
Watch the dramatic verdict last night, including an amazing final performance by Audio Vixen who covered Queen's 'Somebody to Love':
While it was blatantly the public's decision to send Audio Vixen home, this was one outing no one wanted to take the fall for. I guess some frustration was aimed at Mel B because it seemed like she had the power to save them by keeping the decision within the confines of the judging panel. But look at it this way, Mel was well within her rights to send home whomever she choose, regardless of whether the situation was gonna be a deadlock or not. Consider the judges' reasons here for a minute. No matter how you look at it, the panel was always gonna be split equally. If Luke had asked Mel B before Nat, it might've been a whole different villainess altogether.
Would you keep Johnny Ruffo over Audio Vixen?

Berkshire Hathaway Automotive was originally known as the Van Tuyl Group before its acquisition by Berkshire Hathaway. The dealership was owned by the Van Tuyl family and was started when Cecil Van Tuyl formed his first used car dealership in 1952. By 1955, he expanded to selling new cars. Five years later, he purchased two additional dealerships and the Van Tuyl Group, the largest privately held automotive dealership group in the United States, was formed.
The Van Tuyl Group expanded over the years, adding multiple additional services and assets including the Old United Casualty-MPP in 1979 which provides customers with vehicle service contracts. Other assets include investing in SmartNote and Zak Products in 2002 and Century Interactive in 2005.
In the next few decades, the company became known as one of the best dealerships in the nation and was labeled as the No.1 Nissan dealer in the nation in 1984 and the No. 1 Chevrolet dealership in the nation in 1994. By 2012, 30 of the top 100 internet dealerships in the nation were owned by the Van Tuyl Group, and the corporation operated in 10 states nationwide.
In 2015, Berkshire Hathaway acquired the Van Tuyl Group and renamed the company Berkshire Hathaway Automotive. Larry Van Tuyl, Cecil's son, was named Chairman of the Board of the company. The company has continued to grow under Berkshire Hathaway.

Tlf.:+34 972667739
Its design and the quality of its construction have led it to be considered among the 100 top courses in Europe and one of the top ten in Spain. It has broad fairways and others, clearly marked, through the wood. The greens are notably extensive, elegant and open, but also delicate with gentle slopes. The first holes are surrounded by pine trees and a strategically placed bunker, which requires precise play in order to reach the green. After the 13th hole, the style is more continental, the greens become wider and the fairways are longer. The beautiful natural setting, its peace and quiet and the sea nearby make this a course that will inspire a whole range of players.

LINCOLN, NEB. – "We are pleased that the U.S. House of Representatives voted today to advance the Senate's GMO Labeling bill, sending it to the President's desk for his signature. There is no question that the science surrounding GMO products shows a clear track record of safety and environmental benefits. While we continue to maintain that the mandatory nature of this bill is unnecessary, the potential costs to consumers, farmers and ranchers of a state-by-state patchwork of unnecessary GMO labeling laws forces us into supporting this measure. While not perfect, this legislation does allow for the continued development and investment in crop technologies in agriculture due in part to the national uniformity it provides regarding GMO labeling. We appreciate the support of all three of Nebraska's Congressmen Jeff Fortenberry, Brad Ashford and Adrian Smith and hope that the President's signature, making this proposal law, will help put this issue to rest."
The Nebraska Farm Bureau is a grassroots, state-wide organization dedicated to supporting farm and ranch families and working for the benefit of all Nebraskans through a wide variety of educational, service and advocacy efforts. More than 61,000 families across Nebraska are Farm Bureau members, working together to achieve rural and urban prosperity as agriculture is a key fuel to Nebraska's economy.

Strong Japanese demand for rental condominiums has prompted the Japanese property agent Siam Kotobuki Co Ltd to move into property development, with the launch of a 600-million-baht building in Soi Thong Lor 25, said managing director Seita Hagiwara.
Over its 15 years in the housing agency business, the company has observed steady growth in demand for rental condominiums among Japanese clients. Each year it manages a total of around 2,000 condominium and apartment units for rent at average monthly rates between 45,000 and 75,000 baht.
"We're not worried about an economic slowdown in Japan, which might cause downsizing in some organisations overseas," Mr Hagiwara said. "Japanese firms will continue hiring Japanese executives as they need to maintain production quality but temporary staff will be laid off if there is downsizing."
Thailand is one of the top three destinations for Japanese investment, along with China and Vietnam. With about 40% of the overseas investment in Thailand, Japanese investors will ride out current challenges and be ready to resume expansion when the economy recovers. Currently, there are a total of 1,292 Japanese firms in Thailand with total investment of around 164 billion baht, he said.
There are 42,736 Japanese nationals living in Thailand. About 30,000 live in Bangkok and have monthly accommodation spending of around 50,000 baht per head. Eighty percent live on Sukhumvit Road between Asok and Ekamai.
The most popular locations were Sukhumvit Soi 39, 49 and 55 or Thong Lor due to more convenient transport, a lot of Japanese restaurants and a Japanese international school, the largest in Asia outside Japan, located nearby.
"We are a Japanese developer for Japanese buyers and residents. We know what they like and don't like," said Mr Hagiwara.
The problem with many apartments and condominiums in these locations is that they are too small for Japanese families, who want larger units.
Seeing an opportunity, the company formed a joint venture with the Palakawong Na Ayudhya family to set up Sikhara Kotobuki Co with registered capital of 100 million baht, and is investing 400 million baht to develop the Villa Sikhara condominium.
Backed by LH Bank with 200 million baht, the project will be located on a 1.5-rai site, comprising 64 units sized from 89 to 112 square metres and priced at 98,000 to 104,000 baht per sq m or with unit prices of between 9.15 million and 13.5 million baht.
The company will offer a guaranteed annual return of 6% on investment for five years for the first 10 units booked. Currently, it has 25 units left for sale. It is now awaiting environmental approval and a construction permit. Construction is scheduled to be completed in August 2009.
"Amid unfavourable sentiment in stock market, property investment would be an alternative as stock investments might leave only paper while property investment would leave a tangible unit," he said.

How long is too long to wait to register a complaint about the way you were treated?
Writer Mason Cooley said, "Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder." This case is an example of how procrastination can make resolving a travel complaint not just harder but perhaps even impossible.
Dorothy Dean took an escorted trip to Peru with Flying Wheels Travel, which calls itself "the first and most experienced travel agency for people with physical disabilities, chronic illness or difficulty walking."
She seems to have been satisfied with most of the tour. But the last day of the trip left her very upset. She calls that day "a complete, miserable waste."
I was part of the group that was left in a van in the heat for four hours with no way to leave the van. No ramp, no lift, too rocky, too uneven ground for the few who could walk.
We were also taken to an open air market next to the ocean — cold, damp, miserable — for nine hours. Impossible to leave or find a place to do more than sit.
Both of these situations are terrible for an ordinary tour. Much more so for the targeted population.
From her description, it does sound awful. She complained to the company in writing about her treatment on that last day and asked for a prorated refund. It's not clear how much that would be. It could come to as much as $800, depending on how it's calculated.
The problem from our standpoint is that she waited 15 months before contacting the company to complain. When our advocate asked her why she waited so long, her answer was, "Life gets in the way." She went on to add, "In the time from returning home to starting on the complaint I moved. That was a lengthy, complicated process."
When she didn't get the response she wanted from Flying Wheels, she escalated. She filed written complaints with the Minnesota Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission, the Better Business Bureau, and the U.S. Department of Justice Disability Rights Section, to name just a few. None of those efforts led to a refund, so she contacted us.
In the materials she sent us, Dean included the tour director's written response to the BBB. In it, he disputed her account point by point. He mentioned things she omitted, which put matters in a different light. He also said that 95 percent of those on her tour traveled with Flying Wheels again the next year. In addition, the tour director made allegations about her behavior on both that last day and at other times.
It comes down to a "she said, he said" situation with no way for us to know who is right.
In some of the cases we handle, the problems could have been avoided if the consumer had done a little homework on the company before buying. We don't know if she did that but, most likely, it would not have made a difference. I did an online search for complaints about Flying Wheels Travel and found only one, which appears to have been posted by Dean herself. By contrast, I found lots of good reviews of the company's tours.
Bottom line for the company was in the reply to the BBB: "This tour was conducted October 26 to November 6, 2014. We had no indication that Ms. Dean was unhappy with the tour until we received a letter from her dated February 6, 2016. Our policy is not to refund tours after 12 months from the tour end date. Because of this policy we will not be providing Ms. Dean a refund."
So back to the original question: How long is too long to wait? Would she have gotten that partial refund if she had written as soon as she got home? We can't know the answer. However, the company has a good online reputation, so it might have made a difference.
You can find lots of quotes and sayings about procrastination and its opposite, taking action. One of the oldest is "carpe diem" which means seize the day. The lesson here is that if you're unhappy about the way a business has treated you, let them know in a timely manner. If you're really angry, it can be useful to give yourself a little time to cool off first. But don't stew on it for more than a year as Dean did.
We're undecided on whether we should try to help her or if we even can. Is it too late for Dean?

Welcome to Tuesday's Wiki Article Spotlight!
Every once in a while, you're surfing through the awesomeness that is TechNet Wiki, and then all of a sudden, your jaw drops. You're stunned at what you're looking at. (For example, Tony's PowerShell Survival Guide.)
Well that happened to me today when I saw...
By Peter Geelen, MVP
It has a good intro. I noticed that it says all the FIM articles listed on the page are on the Wiki. That sounds pretty good.
Then I noticed that the table of contents (TOC) is quite expansive:
Table of Contents
- FIM Article Development
- FIM Reference Article
- FIM Understanding Article
- FIM Troubleshooting Article
- FIM How To Article
- FIM Tool Script
- FIM How To Script
- FIM ScriptBox Item
- FIM Technical Article
- See Also
... Okay, that's great. Somehow, the pessimist in me was expecting to find 6 articles in each category.
But, of course, that's not what I found!
The How To category had 24 articles in it! And the How To Script section had 49 articles! So I was impressed... to say the least.
But here's what did it for me and sent me over here to blog about it...
Next to each of those items, you'll see the name of the author and the date that the author created the article. Wow.
Yes, Peter actually added that information to every single link on that page!!!
And then here was another kicker, each section heading was also a link to the tag that all those articles (in each section) are filed under!
Talk about organized and laid out for your convenience! So that sent me over here to send you back over there! It's like the circle of life, but different (more clicking, I guess).
So go check out all the wonder, and dive in! The Wiki's warm.

Super interesting read about some archaeoacoustic research in Serbia:
(via mediateletipos)
There's only a single sound clip available right now, but the effect is pretty mesmerizing. It's wild to imagine ancient people performing sacrificial blood rituals while bathed in this soundscape.
Sat Jan 03 2015 12:54:22 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)
This is great. If you're interested in active listening, field recordings, soundscapes, or amibent sound/music, this is a pretty good primer and talks about the origins of the term "acoustic ecology" as a movement.

tags: sound audio listening worldlisteningday fieldrecording recording
In observance of World Listening Day 2014 (July 18th), I guided a lunchtime soundwalk around parts of downtown Portland, OR. I decided to organize only at the last minute, and there were 5 of us who showed up for the nearly hour long sound walk.
We started with short discussion about active listening and purposeful sound observation and some of the philosophy/ideas behind it. We walked and listened for about 20 minutes, then had a short chat about what we had noticed so far and what we thought was interesting in the act of observing. We continued on for another 35 minutes or so and completed a wide loop. The small group of participants seemed to have a really good time (and it turned out to be some decent exercise too).
I recorded the walk on my binaural in-ear microphones with a Zoom H2. The raw recording is available on archive.org: Portland, OR World Listening Day Soundwalk.

See you next year for World Listening Day!

Hello! I'm Erinn and I'm so glad you chose to visit this blog! I started the idea behind this blog when my daughter, Emma Grayce, was first born. When my husband, JR, and I were choosing her name, we tried to pick a name that meant something important and signified the life we wanted her to live. Emma means "embracing everything" and this is the life we definitely want her to live!
