In anticipation of the Year of the Dragon, our contributors got down to business this week, urging readers to be more agile, more adaptive and more responsive to the needs of their business and their customers. We learned that Golden Retrievers can teach us a thing or two about adaptive case management, the potential unhealthy future for mobile health (and how this future can be avoided), why you should always be ready for Mother Nature, how the blues inform web content and were asked the perennial question "What would SharePoint do?" But please, whatever you do, do not call what follows a list.
Enter the dragon!
It's Time to Engage
Multichannel Marketing in 2012: 3 Key Insights
Kevin Cochrane (@kevinc2003): Multichannel marketing in practice is hard and will become even more challenging to create delightful customer experiences across channels with a single brand identity without the right strategy and tools. While customers usually accept different levels of interaction across a growing number of channels and devices, they expect the overall experience to be one and the same. In a recent article, Deloitte pointed out that "Multi-channel customers are increasingly the most sophisticated, demanding and time-starved customers; they're also among the most valuable… who often spend three-to-four times more on retail purchases than their single-channel counterparts." So it is clear the hard work to attract and engage multichannel customers is well worth it, when done right.
Harnessing the Power of the Social Media Buying Cycle
Rob McCarthy (@robmmccarthy): As marketer's understanding of the way that social media affects the traditional buying processes has grown, new ways of working to engage consumers have emerged. Businesses have struggled to understand how to maximize engagement via social media, which is inherently personal and traditionally works on an individual level. Recent changes have encouraged businesses to promote their brands on social networking sites such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. And the growth in mobile devices, specifically smart phones, has made a whole new level of engagement possible.
Web Content: The Art of Linking
Gerry McGovern (@gerrymcgovern): Linking is the essence of the Web. Web professionals must focus primarily on links, rather than the content or technology.
If you're trained as a content professional then you're trained to think about documents, manuals, articles, brochures. You're focused on sentences and paragraphs.
One of the latest crazes on the web is "curation," which seems to be about assembling your list of favorite links. This, of course, is not new. That's how Yahoo started out in the early Nineties, and Google is essentially a list of links.
Creating new content through linking to and organizing other content is far from being a new human activity. A lot of rap music is about sampling other music and integrating it into a new form. Folk and Blues music is often a pastiche of borrowed lines and melodies.
It's Time to Prepare
Case Study: Disaster Recovery at Lucky's
Thomas Gwizdala (@treenosoftware): The story of one business's unexpected transition to an enterprise document management system
You wouldn't feel too lucky if your business was hit by a hurricane. Particularly if all of your paperwork -- invoices, P.O.s, personnel records, receipts, everything -- was all just paper, subjected to the worst flooding in 83 years. But that was the unfortunate plight of one particular US$ 16 million transportation dealer this summer in the wake of Hurricane Irene.
The Potentially Harmful Side Effects of Mismanaged Mobile Health
Michael Lustig (@moveroinc): When following ads about new drugs, the list of possible side effects often sounds more ominous than the actual condition. One is left wondering if curing the problem is really worth the risks associated with the treatment?
Those evaluating the nascent field of mobile health (mHealth) may be having similar thoughts.
On the one hand, mHealth may be viewed as a panacea for improving patient care and lowering costs. On the other, the potential for compromised security, including violations of patient privacy through wireless data transmission, are inherent risks that could result in harmful side-effects if mHealth is administered without caution.
Corporate Governance Guidance from Australia
Norman Marks (@normanmarks): The ASX Corporate Governance Council, chaired by the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), has released a second edition of Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (see here for the ASX announcement and related resources, or here if you want to go directly to the document).
Whether you are in Australia or not, this document includes materials useful to anybody seeking to understand or improve corporate governance principles and best practices.
The Future of Enterprise CMS: Interview with Real Story Group's Alan Pelz-Sharpe
David Roe (@druadh20): The Real Story Group published its annual report on the enterprise content management industry last week. We talked to Real Story Group (RSG) Principal Alan Pelz-Sharpe, who outlined some of the main findings and who argues that the industry has already passed a turning point which will result in some established and newer trends gaining ground in the year to come.
It's Time to Adapt
How Adaptive Case Management Builds Business Agility
Deb Miller (@debsg360): "Your ability to anticipate, respond to and maximize the results from changes to your external environments are the key drivers of success." -- Stuart Cross
Business agility is all about being prepared for and able to quickly adapt to change. There has been so much written about agility from gurus like Peter Drucker, industry analysts like Forrester and Gartner, and the large well-respected community of process improvement practitioners that it would seem there is nothing new left to be said. Well, challenge accepted.
A Content Strategist's Guide to Making Lists That Don't Suck
Stephen Fishman (@trivoca): Despite my darkest fears, the villagers never came after me with torches and pitchforks last week when my article proclaimed that "top X tips lists are beyond worthless". The biggest criticism came from what was a completely unexpected source; an oversight on my part in the headline. I boldly proclaimed that "top 10 lists suck", forgetting to insert the word "tips".
It's SharePoint Time!
SharePoint Implementation Checklist: Aligning People, Technology & Process
Dux Raymond Sy (@meetdux): SharePoint adoption in the enterprise is growing at a rapid pace, but many organizations are still struggling to achieve the proper mix of "people," "technology" and "process." In the midst of just trying to figure out the technology side of SharePoint, many organizations overlook the people and process side of an implementation. Pushed even further to the back burner are the "business value" considerations of SharePoint. What is the purpose of implementing SharePoint in the first place? How will SharePoint improve operations and drive overall business results?
SharePoint App Store: Should Microsoft Vet Contents?
Chris Wright (@scribbleagency): Rumors and conjecture have circulated about a possible SharePoint App store since the release of SharePoint 2010. A number of independent attempts currently exist, though they amount to little more than website catalogs. An official app store was thought to be part of Microsoft's launch plans for SharePoint 2010, but it is believed that logistical and technical issues prevented it from becoming a reality. With the success of the iOS version and official plans for a Windows 8 store, it's almost certain we will see something soon for SharePoint.
Do SharePoint & Silverlight Have a Future Together?
Chris Wright (@scribbleagency): Silverlight was Microsoft's answer to Adobe Flash, an application framework with which to build rich internet applications. It was launched in April 2007 to much fanfare, albeit mainly from Microsoft. Version 5 brought GPU accelerated video decoding and 64-bit support in December of last year. It also brought the conclusion of the Silverlight story, as this version is set to be the final release. Silverlight is no more. Or so people have been speculating, as there has yet to be any official word from Microsoft. Its lifespan might be prolonged as a Windows Phone platform, but it seems likely it will cease to exist as a browser plugin.
However this article is not about SIlverlight per se, but rather its somewhat fractured relationship with SharePoint. If we have really seen the final installment of Silverlight, what does that mean for its use with SharePoint in the future? Let's start by seeing how it is used today.
Come back next week for more expert insight into customer experience management, information architecture and more.

Earlier today the Braves made a roster move when they shipped Erick Aybar off to the Detroit Tigers, effectively making room for Dansby. He has done a great job in AA Mississippi, hitting .261 with a .745 OPS in 84 games. He started this season at Class A with the Carolina Mudcats.
On the baseball card front, I've only been able to pick up a few cards of him (in a Braves uni), mostly Bowman. I look forward to seeing Topps and even Panini create more cards of him as this season continues to unfold. After all, the baseball season in the card world never truly ends.
I'm headed to Atlanta this weekend to see the Braves take on the Nationals and I was already psyched, then they pick up Kemp and I was on cloud 9. I have front row seats in left field for Saturday. Now hearing this news has me looking forward to the weekend that much more!

I am loving twenty2 fabrics but I am NOT loving their price points. Beutiful fabrics I would love to use for some of my projects, but not even near realistic (unless my customers suddenly become the "second house in the hamptons, summer cottage in paris" sort. $135 a yard? Give me a break - unless it is handpainted in Thailand with organic dyes and kitten whisker paintbrushes....it's fabric....not gemstones.
On a more "hey - things I can actually afford!" front, I am loving kitty-craft's fabric selection. Lots of Lecein and japanese prints. Squirrels! Butterflies! And I just ordered my first ever batch of fabrics from reprodepot!. I can't *wait* until they get here.
Other than looking at fabric these days, I'm working on a mountain of quilts (sneak peek at one of them, above). My sewing machine and I are fused at the hip.
This is completely unrelated to craftyness: There is something profoundly irritating to me in the phrase "what price blah" as in "what price democracy in south east asia as..". There is something in my head that is always asking "where is the rest of that sentence?? Don't you know how ridiculous and un-conversational that sounds?" GAH english usage. Even if it is "proper" I still hate it.
We have no kittens. This saddens me greatly.
OH!! AND AND AND....before I forget.....we're in the last 15 days of the Happily Handmade Giveaway for Winter 2006! There won't be another giveaway until the fall (I think), so now's your chance to sign up to win a huuuuge gift basket from some really cool crafty folks. Enter Here

Game Of Thrones' Kit Harington Happily Married to Actress Girlfriend Rose Leslie
It only often happens that on-screen romance makes its way to off-screen.
And one of such lucky is the Game Of Thrones actor, Kit Harrington. Famously known and enormously loved- character, 'Jon Snow' played by Kit Harrington in the HBO's drama series- Game of Thrones, the actor makes every girl drool over him, for whatever he does.
But ladies, the man who you always dreamt of dating, has been booked already!
Reel To Real-Life Romance!
Christopher Catesby Harington, known by his stage name Kit Harrington and more popularly by his character Jon Snow, has been all over the tabloid for having justified a very dominant character on Game of Thrones.
Kit has been involved in the series since its beginning and played the role of an illegitimate son of Ned Stark, the noble Lord of Winterfell. However, knowing his status limits his prospects, Jon joins the Night's Watch, who guards the far northern borders against the wild, living beyond The Wall.
Being a Night's Watch, Jon was supposed to keep his virginity intact, but Ygritte, played by Rose Leslie, didn't let that happen, as their characters felt in love and it resulted in Jon giving away his virginity.
The on-screen lover first met each other on the sets of the series itself, and while getting to know her as their characters were building, they started generating feelings for one another in real life as well.
Kit has not revealed the exact time as to when he started dating her, but they do flaunt their love publically, which has now blossomed quite adorably.
Talking about their relationship, Kit said,
"It's as much her relationship as it is mine and I can't speak for both of us, But yeah, we are very, very happy. So that's what I'll say about that."

In the June/July issue of Esquire, Kit also revealed that he, along with his partner Leslie, are moving in together, taking their relationship to the next level. But in an interview where he was asked if he was set to make Rose his wife, Kit responded he don't want to rush into it.
Caption: Kit sharing and Nicole Kidman on The Late Late Show with James Corde, where Kit reveals about his relationship plans. Published on June 7, 2017.
Nevertheless, Kit didn't miss any chances of making her feel special. Here's an Insta post made by Kit wishing Rose her Birthday,
However, back on 6th October 2017, Life and Style magazine reported the news of the couple being engaged. A source revealed,
"Kit recently cooked Rose a romantic candlelight dinner and proposed to her, she burst into tears and immediately said yes!"
But just hours later of their engagement being talked about by many, the couple categorically denied the engagement rumors; Bummer for the fans who were happy about the onscreen duo being engaged, but it later came out that they did get engaged, that too a month before in September.
Before Rose, Harrington was reported to be dating Anna Cyzon, a recording artist and an actor back in 2011. The speculations about Anna being Kit's partner were made since they both were spotted in some venues together.

But despite the speculations, neither of them talked about their relation officially, letting us wonder if they were ever a thing. However, when the media got hit with the news about Kit and Rose dating, the rumors with Anna automatically buzzed off.
Married In Front Of "Game Of Thrones" Gang
The Acton, London native got finally married to Rose Leslie at Kirkton of Rayn church in Scotland on 23 June 2018. The bride walked down the aisle in the long-sleeved lace wedding gown while Kit stunned in the black jacket and striped pants.
Kit's wedding ceremony was the star-studded event with the likes of Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Peter Dinklage, and Emilia Clarke.
Relationship with Game of Thrones:
Kit rose to fame with his character as Jon Snow, and the banter 'Jon Snow knows nothing' is as famous as him. But he does know many things, as he is playing a character around which the storyline of other character pivots. Well, Game of Thrones has been a vital part of his life!
He shares a very friendly bond with his cast members; beginning with Emilia Clarke, known as Mother of Dragon in the series. They both haven't shared a single scene together, but they share a close bond. Emilia even confessed that she finds it amusing going out with Kit as the fan recognizes him but not her.
She told GQ magazine,
"It's always been funny going out with Kit, because he's so recognisable, We went to a FKA Twigs gig and it was mental. I went to the loo and in the cubicle on either side the girls were like, 'That's Jon Snow out there! Don't know who that random girl is..."
Furthermore, he is also close to Lena Headey, AKA Cerci Lannister, and his onscreen sister Sansa Stark.
Moreover, John has been one of the most loved characters in the show, as his death in the season five finale almost broke everyone's heart. But kudos to Melisandre, who revived him from death.
Kit talks about the difficulties while having to hide the reality behind John Snow's death in the fifth season.
Kit gave away the secret just to avoid the ticket for driving above the speed limit, published on 14 May 2016. (Video: YouTube.com)
Moreover, the series is on its verge of ending, and all the cast members, along with the fans are finding it difficult to bid the show; 'Goodbye.' It has been more than eight years for few actors that they started filming for Game of Thrones, and they share an eternal attachment to the show, which is hard to let go of.
Kit and Emilia talked about the things they will miss and how difficult it will be at the end. Kit expressed,
"I'll miss his northern grumpiness. I was picked because there's something in me a bit like him, I think. It sounds like a cliché, but I will miss stepping into him each year. This is probably the most important job of my life. It's a huge thing and it's been very close to my heart. I'll miss the family and coming back here, and even this costume and the fight scenes. The costumes and weaponry are incredible. I said from the start that I wanted the Long Claw sword but as the (show's) momentum's grown, it's become very expensive and will probably end up in a HBO museum. Hopefully, they'll make me a replica."
Emilia added,
"It's weird - we've spent about four years of our lives in Belfast. The thought of it ending is enormous and crazy and weird. I can't even imagine the weirdness and tears when it ends, and the sadness - hopefully I'll be sitting on the throne and that will make it all better. I hope Game of Thrones is remembered for beautiful storytelling; that would be the biggest goal."
Hopefully, the show has a dramatic ending to surprise all the viewers with and despite the show is about to end, let's hope, we will still get to witness Kit's and Rose's romance off-screen.
Stay with us for emerging updates on Kit Harrington!

Introduction to Judaism
Judaism is a monotheistic religion that traces its origin back to God's call the Abraham. Judaism was the first major religion to believe in one god and believe that God will someday send a messiah who will redeem them from exile and usher in an era of world peace.
Jewish History and Laws
The Torah, or the first five books of the bible, tell the story of the origins of the Jews and explain Jewish laws. These five books are: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Rabbis or spiritual authorities, often educated at yeshivas, interpret the Bible and present the meaning of Jewish law to its followers.
Traditions and Holidays
Jews tend to have a lot of traditions and a few holidays. Two of those more famous holidays are Hanukah and Yom Kippur. Hanukkah, one of the most famous of Jewish traditions, commemorating the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem. Yom Kippur, another Jewish day of atonement, when devout Jews ask God to forgive them for their transgressions and refrain from eating or drinking, attending intense prayer services in synagogues.
Places of Worship
Synagogues are the main place of worship for Jews, and assemble and meet for religious worship and instruction. Also The Western Wall located in the Old City of Jerusalem, is what remains the structure surrounding the second Jerusalem Temple, built after the Jews' return from the Babylonian captivity.
Fun Statistic
According to a 2015 Research Center report, 1.8% of adults in the U.S. are Jewish.

- AREU: Transitional Justice - Views from the Ground on How Afghanistan Fares, November 2016
AREU: Transitional Justice - Views from the Ground on How Afghanistan Fares, November 2016Subject: Peacebuilding
Transitional justice is a vehicle that renews the trust between the population and the state. It is the range of processes and mechanisms associated with society's attempts to come to terms with the legacy of large-scale abuses, to ensure accountability, serve justice, and achieve reconciliation. Speaking to respondents across five Afghan provinces, this study seeks the views of Afghans on their preferred transitional justice policies, and whether these policies should be a precursor or linked to the peace process. Further, the research specifically seeks the views on whether any type of compromises should be made in the current context. In particular, it asks across five provinces whether accountability for past human rights abuses remains a priority.

There has always been a general belief that offshore trusts are used by the wealthy to hide their wealth and avoid tax. But this is a misconception as both the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands has embraced effective, measured anti-money laundering regulation that reflects some of the highest standards in the world.
Firstly, let's understand what a trust is – it is a legal relationship created when a person (the settlor) places assets under the control of another person (the trustee) for the benefit of specified persons (the beneficiaries) or for specified purposes.
The trustee is the legal owner of the assets put into the trust and is required to manage those assets for the benefit of the beneficiaries or to further the specific purposes set out in the trust deed.
Setting up a foreign trust is a sound asset protection strategy to add a layer of protection to your assets. By using an offshore trust rather than a domestic trust, you can enjoy additional protections not available in your home country.
Here are 5 key reasons why people set up an offshore trust:

More information about Romania are on Wikipedia, Wikitravel or FlagCounterThe first stamps inscribed "POSTA ROMANA" were issued in January 1865; the three values depicted Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza in profile, facing right. In 1891, Romania issued its first commemorative stamps, a series of five in which the usual profile of the king was framed by an inscription marking 25 years of his reign. In 1896, Romanian stamps were overprinted in Turkish currency for use on ships passing between Constanța and Constantinople. In 1903 the first pictorial designs were issued to note the opening of a new post office in Bucharest, followed by a series of 10 designs in 1906, for the 40th anniversary of Carol's reign.

Hoylake's lido life discovered
By Paul Coslett
Hoylake Amateur Swimming Club has uncovered archive film of the town's outdoor Lido as part of it's 75th anniversary celebrations.
A picture of life in 1930's Hoylake has emerged in archive film footage of the coastal town's outdoor lido.
The old home movies uncovered as part of Hoylake Amateur Swimming Club's 75th anniversary celebrations show images of activities at the Hoylake lido in the 1930's and 1960's. The lido closed in 1981 and the club now make use of West Kirkby Concourse Leisure Centre.
Diving in to the lido
Kay Morgan who was Women's Captain in 1931 can still recall the lido's time at the centre of the early years of the club's life "We used to wear woollen swimsuits but that was just all there was. There was no lycra."
The footage, which forms part of a new exhibition, shows the crowds that would flock to the Lido in the summer months to swim and use the diving boards and slides that used to sit around the edge of the pool.
Help playing audio/video
Kay Morgan remembers starting early for training, "We went about 7 o'clock in the morning before we went to school. The temperature was about 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 centigrade). There was usually quite a crowd of us and we were pretty tough."
Dancing at the Lido
'Heart of a lion'
Pinky Stabback competed in synchronised swimming at the club in the 1960's, "In the summer they used to have what they called Aqua ballets in all the outdoor pools that were still going strong in the 1960's.
"But then gradually it became more serious. To be a good synchronised swimmer these days you need the stamina of a middle distance runner, the agility of a gymnast, the grace of a ballet dancer and a decent ear for music because you've got to have a good sense of rythym. And the heart of a lion because it is very very hard work."
Hoylake Amateur Swimming Club has put together an exhibition which includes photographs, memorabilia, and historic cine footage of the pool, filmed in the 1930's and 40's at West Kirkby Concourse Leisure Centre from 23 October 2006.

On February 2, 2015 constitutional attorney D. John Sauer testified before the North Dakota House Education Committee regarding the legality of the state's involvement in the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium with regards to violation of the Interstate Compact Clause of the U.S. Constitution and loss of the state's sovereignty over education policy.
John Sauer's resume provides some indication of the significance of his assertions as they are reflected by his academic and professional accomplishments:
J.D., magna cum laude, Harvard Law School, 2004
M.A., Philosophy, University of Notre Dame, 2000
B.A., Theology, Oriel College, Oxford University, 1999 Rhodes Scholar
B.S.E., Electrical Engineering, summa cum laude, Duke University, 1997, Varsity Letter, Wrestling, 1996-1997
Judicial Clerk, The Hon. Antonin Scalia, Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court, 2005-2006
What follows is a manner of summary and paraphrasing of the verbal testimony of Mr. Sauer from the 8.8 minute below.
The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium and in fact the whole course of conduct of the Federal Department of Education has undertaken, in sort of herding and corralling states into the Common Core aligned curriculum and system of assessments has been unconstitutional under the compact clause of the federal constitution and been undertaken in violation of numerous federal statutes.
The Compact Clause of the U.S. Constitution provides in article one, section ten three that, "No state shall without the consent of congress enter into an agreement or compact with another state."
The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium is unquestionably a compact, and is unquestionably something that congress has never consented to. It is therefore unconstitutional.
It constitutes a shocking, a very surprising, course of conduct of federal overreach and federal taking over of education that runs counter to hundreds of years of our constitutional tradition which allocates to state and local entities control over public education.
I think it quite clear that the current federal department of education made it a priority, probably it's key priority, for this particular administration, to engage in a regulatory course of conduct that would effectively substitute the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act which for better or worse, was actually passed through congress, was voted on by elected representatives and became a law of the United States, with a regulatory regime that has never been signed off on by congress.
Congress has repeatedly, again and again, emphasized that nothing that it authorizes the federal Department of Education to do should permit that department to engage in quote, "Any kind of direction, supervision, or control of curriculum or programs of instruction," in state or local education.
In the Elementary and Secondary Education Act it is stated that, "no state shall be require academic content or student achievement standards approved or certified by the federal department as a condition of receiving federal funds under the ESEA, yet that is exactly what we are seeing in the past essentially five or six year course of conduct by the federal Department of Education.
North Dakota also became a member of Smarter Balanced in 2010 and there are several features of these consortia that when you look at the legal documents that state officials signed off on. These documents involve very surprising commitments in many ways.
The consortia have elaborate external governing structures with a governing board and executive committees. They have their own staff, they purport to operate outside the open records laws of the various states that they are involved with and the federal government. The agreements involve a binding agreement by the state officials who sign-off on them to abide by the decisions of the governing boards on key areas of educational policies which the constitutional tradition allocates to those very states.
There is therefore a ceding of state sovereignty that is involved in the signing of these documents. They also involve binding commitments to Common Core, to use the assessments aligned with Common Core and they involved not surprisingly the substantial involvement of the federal program officers so that the federal government was actively involved in the work of these consortia over the past four years as they developed the assessments aligned to Common Core.
The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium did apply for hundreds of millions of dollars for federal funding to write these assessments, and in it's application it said that the purpose of this consortia is to, radically reshape the education systems of the participating states. So, make no mistake, there was always a radical, far reaching, federally involved intention in the way that all of this was implemented.
More recently Smarter Balanced arranged to relocate itself and has since kind of reinvented itself by moving to and being housed at the University of California. In exchange for that it asked all member states to sign a new memorandum of understanding. North Dakota signed their memorandum in November. The session of local and state authority over education remains essentially the same in the new memorandum.
In Section 3.1 of that memorandum, the state purports to making a binding commitment to agree to be bound by the decisions of the governing board of the consortium and the state is one of twenty one member states, in decisions of the consortium on decisions on areas of relevant areas of state and local educational policy. North Dakota has ceded it's constitutionally protected sovereignty over state and local educational policy.
There are threats to the sovereignty of the states by officials rather than legislators making agreements to abide by decision of a completely external entity that not based in North Dakota that the state legislators have no effect over.

Since Thanksgiving we've been dogged by the same playlist of holiday songs and Christmas carols in every flavor of rendition from country to boy band pop. "A Christmas Carol" and "Nutcracker" have moved into local theaters and performance halls for their annual residency.
If you love the holidays, but you're a bit bored, no one can blame you. This Friday night in Hudson, treat yourself to a truly different Yuletide experience with the Holidelic show at Club Helsinki. Produced and directed by Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter, producer, actor, and dancer Everett Bradley, Holidelic is a fun and funkalicious spin on Christmas. Now in its ninth season, this part comedy routine, part music show, part seasonal ode is better than ever. Family dysfunction and holiday hilarity get an infusion of soul, with influences from P-Funk, Sly and the Family Stone, and other contemporaneous hit bands. Bradley is a master showman and is sure to bring a highly theatrical, not so silent night.

Stop trying to be interesting or popular by having the best blog on the Web. Stop trying to get a life by giving up the one you already have. Everything you need is already within you. You don't need to go frantically searching for it. Just stop, listen, and feel the rhythm within you. At the moment of letting go, it will come to you instead.

Fix windows 7 's Blue Screen Of Death occuring after service pack 1 installation
Computer Freeze or Restart to a BSOD having "0xc0000034″ Error Message after Installing Service Pack 1 (SP1) on Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2
Consider the following scenario:
1.You install Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on a computer.
2.You install some other updates before you restart the computer to complete the installation process. Or, the service pack is installed at the same time as other updates by using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
In this scenario, the computer may stop responding or restart. If the computer restarts, you receive an error message that resembles the following on a black screen:
" 0xC0000034 "
Note: If the computer stops responding and you restart the computer, you receive the same error message.
This issue occurs because Windows tries to perform operations in the Primitive Operation Queue (POQ) two times during the sevicepack installation process. The second attempt to perform these operations fails (because the operations have already been performed). Therefore, Windows generates a "0xc0000034" error.
Microsoft has released an hotFix update to prevent the issue. You can download it using following link:

Pat Coghlan
The best!! Never had him for English but he's the librarian now. He's so helpful, knowledgable and does a great job getting to know the students. He makes sure to know the name of every student who comes in the library
He had enjoyable lectures and he always gives his students a chance to succeed. He deserves a medal. A BIG ONE.
Great person and a great teacher. He's very clear on what her expects out of his students so you'll never be lost in his class. Very knowledgable and tries to make the material we read seem as interesting as possible. Overall, a really good teach. You're lucky if you have him for english, compared to some other teachers.
Wonderful guy, and a brilliant teacher. Hilarious, and really knowledgeable on literature. Writer's Craft was a riot. Take it, you won't regret it. One of DO'C's very best.
Best teacher you will have in English! He marks hard but is always willing to help you get the best grade, he also is very fair and will give you any chance he can to get the best mark in his class.
I loved this guy. One of the few teachers I respected.
Hard Marker, but he is always willing to give you as much help as you need. Very clear and to the point. Overall an AMAZING teacher. Best english teacher you will ever have!!!
Mr Coghlan was one of the best English teachers I ever had. He was inspiring, encouraging and fostered my love for literature. Not sure how this rating system was devised - odd vague categories.
Coghlan was a lot of fun to have as a teacher! He makes you want to go to his class. He always interacts with everyone and is willing to help you.
He is the best teacher, he tries to make you understand what you are doing and is always willing to help his students succeed
I found that Coughlan could be quite condescending at times. Not a bad teacher, but not a particularly good one either.
Really good teacher, made me feel good about my writing. intimidating at first but funny and easygoing
coghlan is da man!! very helpful and nice. best english teacher @ DOC
Great teacher, you can always ask him for help when you need it
Best teacher I ever had, and i hate english but he made it really cool
Nothing like using episodes of the Simpsons to illustrate lessons.

In Switzerland…
Switzerland possesses four nuclear power plants. The first one, called Beznau 1, started operating in 1969, whereas the last plant built to produce nuclear energy, Leibstadt, was built in 1984. In order to guarantee the safety of the population, the Nuclear Safety Inspectorate (German abbreviation: ENSI) conducts yearly inspections (and revisions) on the power plants during the summer, which means that those plants are shut down and disconnected from the grid during the inspections and revisions, taking a few days to a few weeks. This is no problem, as Switzerland produces more electricity with dams and rivers during the summer. Bottlenecks can be prevented with the use of pumped-storage power plants.
As for the security and safety of nuclear power plants, there are several aspects which are important to the operating companies and the state. They guarantee maximum safety for their workers, the public, and the environment. In other words, the power plants are built and upgraded over the years in order to sustain earthquakes, floods, and also sabotage attempts. This also means very costly investments.
Currently, Switzerland's main reason to produce energy without the use of nuclear power plants is the environmental security. The public is concerned that the repositories for nuclear waste have a limited amount of space. Therefore, several politicians are fighting for banishing nuclear energy and stopping the production of more nuclear waste.
It has the potential to produce energy with other options such as renewable energy (mainly water) as well as coal and gas. But is still going to take some time to achieve this goal, as the aforementioned four power plants still produce a third (source: BFE, Schweizerische Elektrizitätsstatistik, 2014) of the country's electricity. The public launched several campaigns in the past to get rid of nuclear power plants. However, there is still no official strategy provided by the state that plans an exit of nuclear energy production.
There has been an alarming event in Swiss history involving a nuclear power plant. In 1969, months before Switzerland's first plant was finished, there was an incident in an experimental nuclear facility. In Lucens, the Centrale Nucléaire Expérimentale started the plant according to the procedures, when one fuel element suffered from a decimated cooling capability due to unexpected corrosions. This lead to a partial core-meltdown, which was followed by the rupture of a pressure tube. Even though the workers did not suffer any injuries, there have been slightly elevated levels of radioactivity. This meant that the facility was not sealed, which was a big safety concern. Another issue was the fact that the cavern containing the reactor was seriously contaminated, which took several years to decontaminate. Since the Lucens reactor was a pilot project intended to last for one year only, there was no economic impact due to the incident. Shortly after, Beznau 1 started to operate, but this time using a US/American-designed reactor. Almost fifty years later, Beznau 1 has to remain shut down for the rest of the year due to very recent concerns with the material quality of the reactor pressure vessel.

I called up my account online, and it was in there.
I grabbed the stack of bills from the folder in my dresser, and, old school guy that I am, wrote out checks one by one to send out in the mail.
No transfers were made from savings.
That felt good.
The first two-week paycheck from my new part-time job had been direct-deposited as promised. I'm working 25 hours a week for a big retailer, thinking on my feet helping customers to the best of my ability and doing whatever my bosses ask of me. It's different from my almost 30 years at the big daily as an editor and reporter, sure enough, but at the core it's still me with people, community on one side of the equation and colleagues on the other. Plus I'm also holding on dearly to the freelance work I've built up since the layoff of January 2013.
I would have applied for 40 hours a week at this job if it had been advertised. Nevertheless, I was happy when my dear wife Karen pointed out that this well-known company had an ad online, and I clicked and filled out the boxes, answered questions and attached my resume. I was called in for a follow-up interview and then got the call and the job offer.
I've tried hard to find a full-time job here in Syracuse, N.Y., for nearly three years now. After the shock of it all wore off that sad January day almost three years ago, I'd have to say that I was somewhat optimistic about what my resume held and how this community viewed me. And indeed, I have been a finalist or called in for face-to-face interviews for a handful of jobs in the communications field. A regional dairy association. Twice at a state university. A construction company. A furniture company. Another newspaper. A school district. I held a temp service job for two months with hopes of continuing on, but that didn't happen.
I made sure I wasn't one of those workers who fell through the cracks in the system and stopped trying. And all the while I worked hard at my freelance jobs, writing for media sites and magazines. I kept this blog going daily.
Some of the 100 people who were laid off that day have gotten full-time jobs, men and women, younger than me, older than me, the same age as me, from the newsroom and advertising department and print shop and IT and across every office across the building. Some moved away from Syracuse. Some changed fields. Some retired. Some haven't, piecing together work, like me.
Every time I've gotten the "thanks, but" message, I've wondered why. Was it my answers? My personality? My age? I've had my down times and my self-doubt. I took two civil service tests for communications jobs for the county I live in, and passed them both, with an 85 and an 80. Then I chided myself that I didn't score higher.
But I feel at good home an hour after the third full week of this new job on a Friday night. I put in 7 1/2 hours today around a lunch hour. My workdays and hours are staggered.
So far, my earliest shift has started at 7 a.m. The building is 15 miles from the Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood, so to make sure I arrive plenty early enough to punch in, I rise at 5:30 a.m. That's earlier than Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle.
I like saying the words "my shift."
When the HR rep told me my starting hourly wage, I was impressed. I will not dwell on how much less it is than what I was making when I was laid off at the big daily.
I will work hard for that check, and be proud of it.
My co-workers tell me they like this company. They're treating me right. I know there's room to grow.
I like my co-workers. One guy asked me how old I was, and when I told him I turn 58 next month, he told me I look closer to 28. Great work banter!
I'm a good kind of tired tonight.
Nice start.
Have you ever taken a job in a different line of work and if so, what was the change? If you worked a job with no set work schedule, did you like it? When was the last time you interviewed for a job, and did you get it or not?

Luke 18:1-8 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
A Widow and a Judge
18 Jesus told his disciples a story about how they should keep on praying and never give up:
2 In a town there was once a judge who didn't fear God or care about people. 3 In that same town there was a widow who kept going to the judge and saying, "Make sure that I get fair treatment in court."
4 For a while the judge refused to do anything. Finally, he said to himself, "Even though I don't fear God or care about people, 5 I will help this widow because she keeps on bothering me. If I don't help her, she will wear me out."
6 The Lord said:
Think about what that crooked judge said. 7 Won't God protect his chosen ones who pray to him day and night? Won't he be concerned for them? 8 He will surely hurry and help them. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find on this earth anyone with faith?

Indomie, Indonesian Street Food & More
Come in and get a taste of our tasty sambal (with noodles & other dishes!)
Indonesian street food and indomie
Come in and get a taste of our tasty sambal (with noodles & other dishes!)
Indobowl is an Indonesian inspired kopitiam that started back in September 2017. The birth of the idea came along when it was realized that no restaurants in this region grasp an Indonesian street food concept. At Indobowl, customers can gather with friends and family and relish in good food with affordable prices.
Simplicity is our goal. Our cafes are spacious and comfortable for all ages, so that you can enjoy our food worry free.
Our dishes are inspired from the streets food in Indonesia, all the way to the home cook of spicy sambal.
Stop by our cafes, we'll be glad to see you from 10.30am to 10.0pm everyday.

Excerpts from From Hell to Jackson Hole: A Poetic History of the American West
Copyright © Michael L. Johnson. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
A True Patriot: An Epitaph for Edward Abbey
On one imperative he stayed intent:
To save his country from its government.
Dr. Brewster Higley, the Man Who Wrote "Home on the Range"
Whatever the sweet scenes his rhymes
rehearse, he was married five times
and often undoubtedly heard
many a discouraging word.
Southwestern Kansas, 1897
Land a hundred miles west of Haviland.
A horizontal line, barely curved, cuts
the photograph in two; the lower half
is treeless earth; the upper, cloudless sky.
No railroad tracks. No barn. No horse. No cow.
No chickens. No picnic, No quilting bee.
No school, No dance. No prairie fire, No plague
of locusts. No dust storm. No drought. No hail.
No tornado. No cholera. No debt.
No Indians. Not even loneliness.
Only this: in the center, on that edge,
a tiny spot, rectangular, at first
maybe a blemish in the positive,
then the focus of dismay — someone's house.
Joaquin Murieta For Naida West
Robin Hood of El Dorado or not,
out in that borderland of civilized
and savage, he was, for some, just one man;
for others, many — either way, at war
with wrong or right. For some, he never did
exist; for others, he lived on, at peace
after brief banditry, till he died old.
For some, prized angel; for others, feared beast.
For some, he ended as a severed head
pickled in booze, a grisly spectacle
of finitude that toured the mining towns;
for others, he remains, his story told
and told again, the spirit, glorious
on horseback still (but still a good bit short
of Zorro), sort of defending and sort
of avenging the past and its oppressed.

erica is a cultural concept elaborated to define the cultural and social activity of the prehispanic population. The territory has specific boundaries but in the case of this proposal I include some groups from oasis and Aridamerica. I focus my choice on different ethnic groups that are currently living in this territory. I am going to follow the groups presentation settled in the actual Mexican politic geographic division. México is a plurietnic and pluricultural Nation actually there 82 groups that express their indigenous past. I will choose the most representative group from each state. ARID AND OASIS AMERICA: SONORA & SINALOA (Series, Mayos); DURANGO (Kikapúes); CHIHUAHUA (Tarahumaras) MICHOACAN (Nahuas de la costa-sierra; Tarascos); VERACRUZ (Huastecos; Totonacos); YUCATAN (Mayas; chuj Guatemaltecan descendentes), OAXACA (Zapotecas; Mixtecos; Mixes); CHIAPAS (Lacandones; Tzotziles, Tzeltales); TABASCO (Chontales); PUEBLA (Totonacos); JALISCO (Huicholes), HIDALGO, GUANAJUATO, QUERETARO (Otomíes). In México there is a great influence from the African population brought to México to work as forced labor at the times when slavery was legally accepted. Man, woman and children were brought principally from Spain and Portugal. They were placed at the market places in Veracruz, Guerrero, Oaxaca, After the Independence War, as free men they settle in these states and Morelos. OBSERVATIONS: I will have to make some modifications to adjust to the time and the presentation against the calendar

"This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life."
I have been watching Merrik develop friendships over the past several years and it recently has been bringing up some sadness for me but hope for deeper, more satisfying friendships.
I see him being cautious as I have always been. Once he makes a friend, he is loyal and sincere with his friendship and doesn't seem to stray. I have so much admiration for his tactful approach to being 'friends' with everyone but still only being giving and nurturing of a deeper friendship with certain people.
I have mostly had the same approach my entire life but have recently realized that not all of my childhood friendships continue to resonate with me. I think back on the many times I've been hurt by certain people who were supposedly my friend-even way back when-that I wonder why I continued to open myself to that friendship. Certain flags were always there-bad-mouthing other people in their life and tons of negativity. But I wasn't able to get past the connection to their popularity. I know the importance of staying true to oneself but to practice it is more difficult.
I can only hope and pray that Merrik and Maliea have more courage to know themselves and confidence for when they doubt to allow for only friendships that brighten their beings and Love that completes their lives.

|Naomi Okruz
Character Name: Naomi Okruz
Secondary Name: ork-ruz (on account of her fangs)
Race: Svartalf
Gender: female
Sexual Orientation: Hetero
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 162 lbs
Hair Colour: White
Eyes Colour: Golden
Skin Tone: a dusted, smoky brown
Naomi wears a little red dress to stand out. Her white hair is short and curly, so it bounces with her as she walks. She has intense, bright eyes behind her cat-eye glasses, and a pearly-white perfect smile, with a set of fangs.
Personality & Mannerisms
Disposition: …For Science!
Naomi is extremely matter-of-fact, she'll state exactly what's on her mind, and expects everyone else to deal with it. She is also very receptive to the views and opinions of others, unless she thinks that your opinion is based on faulty intelligence. She's very ambitious and inquizitive, but has a bit of ADD. She'll start a project, and give it her full attention, until she gets distracted by something else… this sometimes happens in the same day.
Character Age: 67
Birthdate: Feb 5th
Birthplace: Lighthalzen
Occupation: Alchemist
As a child, Naomi was very self-concious about her appearance. She hated having braces and different-colored ears, and wanted to be darkened as soon as possible, which is how she got so close to her grandparents living in Svartalfheim. Naomi's mother owned and opperated her own brewery, and her father was an oral surgeon, who was never darkened. She wanted to be a bard, as she was very good at playing the drums, keyboard, and electric guitar, but had no vocal talent to speak of. Also, she was a woman, and women can only be dancers. As the only child of their only child, her grandparents wanted very much to keep the family dark… So every summer, they'd take her in and teach her about Freyja so that she could apply those tenants to her daily life as an alchemist. Had she not been darkened, Naomi might have been content with remaining in the lab with her test tubes and beakers.
- Edan Fuinur Paisean: Naomi respects Edan, and likes to share her knowledge with him, as she knows he'll appreciate it.
- Lariam Alsconti: She is interested in his condition, and is trying to see if Potions would be of any help.
- Giles Verdant: As much as he annoys her, she feels sorry for him.
- Opsend: Naomi loves Bards, especially those who know Loki's Veil
Misc Facts
Favorite Consumption: She loves pasta
Special Skills: brewing, mixing drinks, playing instruments
Likes: Singing (out of key), Riding her cart down hills
Dislikes: Anyone that thinks they are above her, people who sneak around

Minority Report
Wednesday, June 20 @ 10pm
Rackham Stage
What would you do if you were accused of a murder, you had not committed… yet? —
In the year 2054 A.D. crime is virtually eliminated from Washington D.C. thanks to an elite law enforcing squad "Precrime". They use three gifted humans with special powers called "Pre-Cogs" to see into the future and predict crimes beforehand. John Anderton (Tom Cruise) heads Precrime and believes the system's flawlessness steadfastly. However one day the Pre-Cogs predict that Anderton will commit a murder himself in the next 36 hours. With no way to defend himself against the charge of Pre-Crime, John must trace the roots of what brought him here, and uncover the truth behind the questions he has spent the past six years working to eliminate: Is it possible for the Pre-Cogs to be wrong?
This film will be presented with closed captioning.

Another person on facebook gave me three words for my interactive poetry. The words they gave me were (Integrity, Tolerance, and Namaste.) and heres what I came up with.
Stand Up
To live a life with integrity
Is no easy task in this world
Many of us seek a higher entity
And some of us just watch it all unfurl
Yet some stand up for what's right
Preaching equality and tolerance
Both during the day and at night
Refusing to let justice die in silence
And so those with authority may look down
Upon them with disdain
They may try to drive them out of town
May go so far as to bring them pain
But so long as injustice exists
they will continue to speak
Even threatened with bodily harm they will not desist
Because they are the strong and the weak
So when those who want them to disappear
Come to them to do what they may
They calmly look at their oppressors as peers
And they smile and say Namaste
