I normally enjoy reading Lisa Belkin's blog at the NYTimes, but this post is weird. She asks, why are there no good parents on television these days? Then she compares the fictionalized families of the past portrayed on The Cosby Show, The Brady Bunch, the Partridge Family -- I'm surprised she didn't throw in Leave It to Beaver -- with today's reality TV shows like The Real Housewives of Orange County, Supernanny, and The World's Strictest Parents.
The first and most obvious answer is that bad parents just make better television. Rather than looking at television as a cultural teacher, we now look at it as a modern-day freakshow of the weirdest people out there where we can exercise our judgments on them in the comfort of our own homes. Good parents are boring. They resolve conflicts, set boundaries, and reward their children for good behavior. It all makes for pretty vanilla television.
But that leads to the second answer to why modern reality television doesn't depict perfect parents: it's because they don't exist. No matter how awesome your family is, no one has it perfect. Parents yell when they shouldn't. They have bad days. They forget about their kids' soccer matches. Life isn't perfect. We shouldn't depict it on television that way.

- Shouldn't pull or break lashes
- Easy to use
- Instructions are simpl to understand and follow
- Didn't create much of a curl in GHRI lab tests
- May not curl all of your lashes on the first try
- Lashes may not look more defined
- Does not heat up or curl lashes quickly
- In lab tests, lashes lostsome of their curl after four hours
- Testers said they're not likely to include the curler in their regular beauty routine
This heated curler earned middle-of-the-ground scores on how well it curled lashes in the lab (81 percent on average), but consumers were pleased with the gentle lift it imparted. In GHRI tests, it took a while for the curler to reach its maximum temperature, so it's not the best choice if you're always in a rush. cvs.com.

Ddeok came out alright. I've tried Ddeokbokki once a long time ago. So I wasn't sure if I got the texture right. I think I might use the wrong type of flour. It says Rice Flour on the package but it wasn't the chewy. I'll use Glutinous Rice Flour next time for more chewy texture. Ddeokbokki was so tasty. Thanks Maangchi for the delicious recipes :)

Your garaeddeok rice cake looks super tasty! Don't use glutinous rice flour (sweet rice flour) because it will turn out so mushy that you won't be able to make a nice shape. The more pounding, the more chewy rice cake you will get.

A Mexican-style easy bruschetta with roasted poblano peppers, jalapeño and cilantro, plus queso fresco for topping!
Friendly tip of the day: Don't ever ask when Cinco de Mayo is.
Cause, you know, it's always May 5.
Even if what you're really wondering is which day of the week it falls on, so you can figure out if a party complete with margaritas is a good idea, just don't ask. Trust me, it's a hard question to live down.
Now that we've got that behind us, who's looking forward to some margaritas and Mexican fare on May 5th? Which is a Thursday this year, for the record, and Thursday is the unofficial start to the weekend, in my opinion. So margaritas are totally in order!
In preparation – because I'm always happy to think ahead about Mexican food — I'm imagining a massive spread of appetizers and margaritas of all different varieties. Doesn't that sound like fun? A party where everyone brings something to munch on and a pitcher of whatever kind of festive drink they love best?
Sipping, sampling, mingling, munching… good times!
So if you guys are throwing or going to a party like that, please invite me, OK? I'll be sure to show up with some goodies. 🙂
Like this Mexican-style bruschetta. It's a mix of roasted poblano peppers, fresh tomatoes, jalapeño peppers and cilantro. It's all seasoned up and marinated together so the flavors can really blend into each other.
It's got a great smoky depth from the roasted poblanos, a tiny bit of heat from the jalapeño and a hit of refreshment from the juicy tomatoes and bright fresh cilantro. Pair it with some crusty toasted baguette slices and some creamy, soft and slightly salty queso fresco and you're in for a hand-held bite of Mexican fiesta. 💃
It's overall pretty mild, which is great when serving a crowd, but you can kick it up a spicy note or two if you prefer, either by leaving in the stems of the jalapeño pepper, subbing a serrano pepper or just adding a few dashes of hot sauce. Love me some spice!
And don't let the bread hold you back. This tasty little mixture adds flavor all over the place.
Try this easy bruschetta on:
- Grilled chicken or fish
- Tacos or nachos or quesadillas
- Or in wraps and burritos
But in the real world on Cinco de Mayo, I'll most likely be home with the kiddos, maybe celebrating with some Dora the Explorer books and a taco dinner. 😬
On the other hand, once they're in bed, I could whip up some of this easy bruschetta and a half batch of margaritas and the hubs and I can have a little toast! I might have to make that happen! On Cinco de Mayo. Which is May 5. Which is on a Thursday. In case you were confused.
Mexican bruschetta
An easy Mexican bruschetta with roasted poblano peppers, jalapeño and cilantro, plus queso fresco for topping!
- 2 medium poblano peppers
- 2 roma tomatoes, chopped
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped, plus extra for serving
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Hot sauce, if desired
For serving
- 1 long French baguette, cut into half-inch diagonal slices
- 1/2 cup queso fresco
- Roast poblano peppers. I place mine on my gas range (over high heat) for about 2 minutes per side. Turn and ensure all of the skin is charred black. You should see hardly any green spots. If you don't have a gas stove, you can broil yours in the oven, turning occasionally.
- Meanwhile, prep the remaining ingredients for the bruschetta and combine in a small bowl.
- After the poblanos have steamed, use a paper towel to wipe off the charred skin. Open each poblano, remove the stem and seeds, and chop.
- Combine chopped poblanos with remaining ingredients in bowl and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add hot sauce if desired.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Stir occasionally.
- When ready to serve, turn oven broiler to high. Brush baguette slices with olive oil and rub with garlic. Broil for about 45 seconds to 1 minute - watch very carefully so they don't burn.
- Top baguette slices with bruschetta mixture and sprinkle each piece with queso fresco and extra cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
The bruschetta mixture is best when made ahead, so plan accordingly!
Queso fresco, or queso blanco, is a mild white Mexican cheese. It's available in most grocery stores, but if you can't find it, you can substitute a mild feta cheese (a French style one, not a Greek one) or a mild goat cheese.
This bruschetta is also delicious over grilled chicken or fish, tacos or nachos, or in a wrap. So you should probably double the recipe!
You could also add in, or top it with, diced avocado. Diced red onions would be great here too!

The Brother of Brother Ramirez: Story of Tuco
From The Spaghetti Western Database
by Divy Tripathi
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly perhaps is the most seminal of all the Spaghetti Westerns. It was successful in not only creating an enigma around the Genre, but also laying down a pathway for many lesser known imitators to follow and arguably gave these westerns their life and soul. The movie though featuring Eastwood, Van Cleef and several other recurring characters from the previous two instalments of the trilogy was vastly different from them.
It was an epic western in the true sense with a story spanning across the American Civil war; dealing with the quest of a hidden treasure and trials and travails of the three titular characters. With the use of captivating music and exemplary camera work, Sergio Leone and his crew, put before us a brilliant spectacle which doesn't get dull for a moment, but keeps on improving with every passing scene. It had the simplicity of plot, yet had the ingenuity to draw enchanting characters caught amidst this conflict which rages on and becomes an important under-current for this movie.
Even the minor characters were well-written and given the depth to make an impact on the movie-watcher. These were no straw men created merely to move the plot ahead but in fact, came across as natural extensions of the plot, those characters who perhaps had their own back stories, but only incidentally or by coincidence, came across the path of our protagonists. A few examples can be namely the gun-shop owner whom Tuco meets, the alcoholic captain (My favourite!), the dying soldier whom Blondie gives a few drags of his Cigar, the Half-soldier who gives information to Angel Eyes.
Clint Eastwood's eponymous 'The Man with No name' or Blondie as he is called in this movie, plays the lead along with Eli Wallach's Tuco and Lee Van Cleef as Angel Eyes. Eastwood, whose career was arguably launched by this movie, gets the top billing as the no non-sense, silent gunslinger who likes his gun to do the better part of conversation in this movie. However, it would be a travesty to call it Eastwood's movie, because it is a movie as much about him as about the other two characters.
Angel Eyes is a sharp-shooting bounty hunter, who is the first to get information about the stolen gold and is ready to take all within his powers to get it.
Then we come to Tuco Ramirez, the last of the troika, is a bandit and criminal who has committed nearly all the offences in the state and gets entangled in this quest of gold along with Blondie. It is a much complicated character with his own deep running flaws and failures. It is also a character about whom we learn the most in this movie.
He is introduced as a bandit with a reward of $2000 on his head, who quite unwillingly joins hand with Blondie to earn more money through his innovative schemes. He comes across initially as one of the lighter characters whose over-the-top antics provides comic relief to the dry wit of Blondie. There was no dearth of these characters in Spaghetti Westerns, Tomas Milian as Manuel Sanchez, Rod Steiger in 'Duck, you Sucker' to name a few, who would provide humour amidst the chaos and drama of a Western. This was an incredible tool in the hands of a director, who used them in dry passages of the movie as an element of comic relief and at the same time let the story run at its pace. Tuco was no different. When the one-armed opponent shows to finish off Tuco while he is enjoying a rare bath, he stops to give him a sermon, the latter duly finishes him off before he has completed and then quips "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk." Every gun makes its own tune indeed!
When he is betrayed by his partner and left to lurch in the desert, he finds a way to get back to town and has a hilarious encounter with the gun-shop owner. Again Wallach's comic timing is impeccable, when he turns around his gun towards the owner asking him "How much?" with respect to money in his possession and not the cost of the gun, as the mistaken soul had taken for initially! This adds another dimension to the character of Tuco, he is not merely a jester in the court but a brutal gunslinger who is not easy to mess with.
His shrewdness is shown when Pedro's crew has been cleared up by Blondie, he has the wiliness to enter the room from the window while the Joes had taken the most obvious route. He adds "There are two kinds of spurs my friend, those who come in by the door (makes a sign of the cross) and those who come in by the window." These were the moment which made this movie special, there were elements of comedy, action and drama all packed into one in this small scene.
However, the best of Tuco, also one of the greatest sequences in this epic, shows up when he chances across Pablo, who is a Catholic friar. This is an accidental meeting which had been setup with Blondie's life, which Tuco had wanted to end a few scenes back, becoming the most important to him as he is the key to their El Dorado. Pablo has become a holy man serving the wounded and needy in times of brutal war. Tuco meanwhile is the black sheep, who had run away in search for a better life, eventually ending up as a bandit.
This is a poignant moment in the movie. The two brothers meet after a long time. Much has changed since, Tuco is in awe of his older brother but at the same time the shame of not being with his family and what he has become shows on him. This is quite clear with the way he addresses his brother and enquires about his parents. He had himself never met them over last nine years. He is stunned to hear the of the demise of his parents with guilt wrought all over him when he realizes that he hadn't been able to attend the funeral of his own father held only a few days ago. However, something changes here as Pablo turns on him over the failures of his life and the wrongful path that he has chosen. It is very rare to see in the movies for a character like Tuco to break out of his shackles and Master Leone had the perfect timing. Tuco filled with pain is no longer the person who had entered the room to meet his brother, something breaks in here, from his inside. He shows his true face, regrets running away, but the inevitability of his situation made him choose the path that he eventually took. He mocks the friar "Go on. Preach me a sermon, Pablo."
Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez also known as "The Rat" wasn't born as "The Rat". He was like any son of poor parents who is driven by economic and social conditions to take up crime cause life was no better and it would have never become better. This was a running theme in several westerns, the driving factors behind conditions of many a characters in them was the poverty and social backwardness they had to face. The tough choices they had to make.
Tuco is no saint, he is a serial offender. A rapist, A murderer. But does that make him less of a human being than others? Does it make him more liable to punishment in our sense of justice and morality? Leone answers it beautifully with this scene. He chides back at his brother "Where we came from, if one did not want to die of poverty, one became a priest or a bandit."
This obviously in no way is a glorification of Tuco, but makes for a better understanding. He doesn't change into a protagonist suddenly, but the viewers now see him in a new light. Like many other masterful products of this genre, the characters had deep running flaws and troubles running from their past and affecting their personalities and on minor occasions like this incredible scene we get to see them. This scene evokes memories of a small sequence from 'A Fistful of Dollars' when Marisol asks Joe why did he help her family, he responds "Because I knew someone like you once and there was no one there to help." Not much is said, not much is talked about their previous lives. But enough is said about life, enough is answered as to their nature, choices and mistakes.
The scene ends with an altercation where Tuco eventually hits his brother, but that doesn't diminish the value his brother holds in his eyes. He doesn't even bother to listen to Pablo, who wanted to apologize for things he had said and done, both now and in the past. The love between the brothers isn't lost though. Tuco even calls him 'The Pope' of the institution, making up stories of their closeness in vain, and while playing out these lies to Blondie, gives out the ultimate truth of his life "My Brother, he is crazy about me. That's so. Even a tramp like me, no matter what happens, I know there's a brother somewhere who will never refuse me a bowl of soup."
These are the sequences which establish that Tuco is not merely there to fill in as "The Ugly", but much more than that. He manages to establish his own place amongst the already dominating and complex characters portrayed by Eastwood and Van Cleef. The viewer knows this movie is at least as much about him, if not more, as about the other two.
Another evocative scene featuring Tuco comes in later, when he is in claws of Angel Eyes and is tortured to give out the secret he holds. This torture done by brute Corporal Wallach (Mario Brega in a small but a reminiscent appearance) played to the tune of mournful 'The story of a soldier'. The fate is brought about by their own craving for money, but backfires sweetly on Tuco. He expects that by impersonating "Bill Carson" he can somehow use Angel Eyes and get further towards his goal. But Angel Eyes is already on the same quest and would want nothing other than the full secret from them.
He knows it is Tuco actually (Again hinting towards a previous encounter sometime in the past, Tuco had identified Angel Eyes earlier), and treats him like an old acquaintance initially. Soon, with entry of Wallace the equations change, it is made clear to Tuco that Angel eyes would not stop at anything less than the name he holds. He tries to put up a fight (having insulted Wallace earlier despite of being hit in the stomach), but eventually fails to Wallace's strength. The importance of Tuco's character is established as this emotional scene is played out to a memorable song depicting the hopelessness and sorrow of a soldier.
The final quarter of the movie reuniting of Blondie and Tuco and finally, Tuco finds himself running across the graveyard searching for the gold and eventually battling it out with Blondie and Angel Eyes in a Mexican standoff. Approaching climax, Tuco doesn't change on the outside, but we have known much more about him than Blondie or Angel Eyes.
Leone had a habit of doing this to certain characters. Harmonica, from 'Once upon a time in America', remains a character in grey with his motive for revenge uncertain till the climax. However, in my opinion it is better if the characters remain the same much throughout the film, yet the director through his vision could tell us more about them, their past and explain their actions. Leone was able to do it beautifully to Tuco in this case.
Tuco Ramirez is called the Ugly in this movie and to anyone looking at the poster or reading the title might come across as the third component in the movie besides the Protagonist ("The Good") and the Antagonist ("The Bad"). But any avid viewer of Spaghettis would know that they were a complex affair, with all characters deftly written and shades of grey present in all of them.
What the director did best here was give life and meaning to Tuco. He didn't make him a perfect hero or villain, as is his fate in the ending. But he creates something much more. Clint Eastwood has his swagger, Lee Van Cleef has his Charm. But Eli Wallach is still richer, he is more like one of us.

The project aims to educate women about their menstruation cycle and promote best practices to improve their health and wellbeing. We also provide these women with health kits which include reusable pads that can last many years and therefore are more affordable than normal period pads. The second project aims to help poor communities and people in villages who are unable to afford basic needs. We go to the villages and look for people in need such as the elderly, orphans and widows. Once we have them on list; we go back to provide them with some of basic needs including rice, cooking oil, soap, clothes and medicine for those who they are sick. The Charity Organization is a result of many years of hard work. It is only beginning of many more projects to come. It is truly a blessing to have the opportunity work with and give back to our community.

Combine your tour with other regional attractions on a multi-day sightseeing excursion. Tanzania Coffee History Having made its way to Tanzania from its native Ethiopia more than 400 years ago, the coffee plant has long been a valuable trade crop in the country. The arabica variety dominated under German colonization, leading to its widespread naturalization today. However, the robusta species still accounts for about 30 percent of Tanzania's total produce. Kilimanaro's arabica beans are particularly notable for their distinctively rich flavor, a product of high elevation and fertile land. Look for opportunities to purchase local produce. Some smaller sellers will also give you the chance to practice your manual bean-grinding skills too.

Andy Stanley has written some great books. So when he puts out a somewhat average one, it is hard to be excited about it. His best books are those which are not based on a teaching series – like Communicating for a Change, and 7 Practices of Effective Ministry. Usually when a book is based on one of his teachings series, it lacks the kind of insight and practical guidance that his 'straight to text' books do.
This is true of The Principle of the Path, and unfortunately, it was pretty much what I expected when I received my review copy.
It is not that this is a bad book or in anyway contains falsehood or bad doctrine. For what it is, The Principle of the Path is adequate and even excels in its category. I guess that it just isn't the kind of book I would pick up and after reading a page or two say, "I need this book!"
Stanley's thesis is a good one: you get where you are heading. In other words, we don't make mistakes because they fall out of the sky. We don't get where we are heading or think we are heading because we're not going toward it. So, if you can discover the right path and follow it, you will succeed.
This is a well known fact – the part about getting where you're heading anyway. I'm not sure that we could necessarily say that the journey always takes us to success, but then again it depends how we define success.
I'm going to be honest. I'm not expecting Andy Stanley to be the world's greatest exegete or to blow me away with some kind of revolutionary paradigm shift (I've already blogged on why I think those are manufactured anyway). I do expect a little more than a self-help principle with some Scripture attached.
Is this book essentially correct? Yes. Could it have been a whole lot better? Yes. Was it necessarily written for people like me? I don't think so, and therein is probably the issue. This is a book for people who are looking for advice and direction, and Andy does his best to point them toward Scriptural principles. Kudos. It's just that this kind of book is not my cup of tea.


text: Apple Bobbing is a traditional game that is usually played around Halloween. The apples are placed inside of a bucket of water or tied on a string, while a person tries to grab the apple by the use of the teeth only. The use of the hands are forbidden! In a way life can be seen as a game of bobbing for apples. Just recently, a friend of mine was complaining and a thought came to mind. He said that in the community that he live in, there isn't a glimmer of progression and that there isn't a single individual within miles that he can connect with on a business level. And to that I replied, "the problem is that you're bobbing for apples". And he asked, " what in the hell does that stupid game have to do with progression?" And I replied, "well that bucket of apples could be rotten, and perhaps you need new apples, or a new bucket, fresh water, and new apples." In which he replied, " I get your point."

Equiduct provides two execution facilities, a hybrid book and PartnerEx. The hybrid book is an electronic order book that includes market maker quotes for each available instrument. PartnerEx is a unique trading model that allows order flow providers to execute at a consolidated best price or better if price improvement occurs.
"The PartnerEx best-execution model with potential price improvement is beneficial for all participants," said Matteo Cassina, President of European Execution Services for Citadel Securities. "Through Equiduct, Citadel Securities and other market makers will provide execution services to a wide range of retail brokers and other order flow providers making Equiduct a destination of choice for the European brokerage community."
"This partnership will allow Equiduct to leverage Citadel Securities' market making and client service capabilities as we implement a more aggressive roll-out of our services," said Artur Fischer, CEO of Equiduct and Co-CEO of Börse Berlin AG. "For Börse Berlin AG, this is a unique opportunity to leverage our previous investment by partnering with Citadel Securities, a proven leader in the execution services industry." Equiduct will continue to be operated by Börse Berlin AG.

Business Ethics/moral Standards
The moral standards of a company can be gleaned in a review of their Code of Ethics. Additionally, entities that have existed for a period of time have shown time and again how they approach things - how they deal with their stakeholders, their market, their clients and the environment. It is in the history of their behavior in which we can glean their position in relation to certain topics, concerns and events informed by an understanding of the code of ethics and position on social responsibility. We often talk about CSR or corporate social responsibility these days. As ethics and responsibility have become important determinants in the likability and prestige enjoyed by companies, many have worked hard to self-regulate to ensure that compliance with legal and social norms/standards inform the way they do business. Standards and morals vary from culture to culture - what is good, what is bad. But, in the end, what is important is that the company via CSR at the very least walks that line of self-censure to be in harmony with the communities and its natural and business environment. Consider Starbucks for example. It started the revolution ...
Solution Summary
The solution is an 835-word discussion that explores the notion of ethics, duty of care and corporate responsibility of companies to their clients/costumers. A word version of the solution is attached. references are also listed.

When birds sing outside your window at dawn, they're responding to internal clocks set to daily and annual rhythms. But what happens when climate change interferes with these clocks, putting the survival of species, potentially even humans, at risk?
Climate change is interfering with internal clocks of birds, and humans should take heed
When birds sing outside your window at dawn, they're responding to internal clocks set to daily and annual rhythms.
But what happens when climate change interferes with these clocks, putting the survival of species, potentially even humans, at risk?
"Biological clocks — daily and annual timing — is found in every organism, from gut bacteria to worms, algae, plants, and all of the animals," Vincent Cassone, a professor and chair of the department of biology at the University of Kentucky, said.
All have an "internal biological timing system" that is approximately timed to 24-hour and 365-day cycles, he said. These rhythms are synchronized largely with the daily rise and fall of the sun, with light and temperature influencing changes throughout the year.
Birds are the clearest manifestations of these changes, he said.
"We know that the time of morning is punctuated by the singing of birds," he said. "We talk about the first robin of spring. We know it's fall because the Canada geese are starting to migrate. The annual clock of birds is a bellwether for the timing systems of all organisms."
Cassone is speaking this week in Vancouver at the International Ornithological Congress, which coincides with the public Vancouver International Bird Festival. Visit iocongress2018.com and vanbirdfest.com for more information.
Climate change has the potential to fiddle with these internal clocks, with the outcomes varying by species.
"There'll be winners and losers," said Cassone, noting this is also a cautionary tale for human survival. "Climatic changes that we may see in the migratory patterns of birds … those are canaries in a coal mine. When those start changing, we need to know what's changing for us."
Examples could include reduced productivity in agricultural harvests or commercial fishing catches, he said.
If the photoperiod suggests spring is coming, and the temperature suggests spring is here because it's warmer, it's possible that flowering plants and insects may emerge earlier, causing birds to breed earlier, and perhaps starting to sing in February, Cassone continued.
In Kentucky, introduced house sparrows are taking advantage of a warming planet to breed three to four times per year compared with about two in the past, while species such as wood thrushes and bluebirds are in decline due to shrinking food sources, he said.
"Generalists do very well, they'll eat anything. Specialists in environmental times tend to do poorly or have to move to different latitudes or altitudes."
Birds that travel on vast northern migrations with short breeding periods could be at risk. For ocean-ranging pelagic birds, their food sources might have moved to another location.
Another threat is the spread of avian malaria from tropical areas under a climate-change scenario, "marching to the poles, away from the equatorial regions," Cassone said.
"Fifty years from now, there'll be huge climatic changes," he concluded. "Some of the species that live in Canada, especially in the northern latitudes, will be squeezed and probably pushed to extinction.
"It'll be different. But there will be life."

Specialized in the
Collision Repair Industry
Chris Jones may look to young to have 30 years of experience in the car and collision repair business, but truth is he really started when he was only 12 years old. "My dad owned a mechanic shop" Chris noted. "I started out there and decided that's exactly what I wanted to do. "Since then I have always been in the business".
Along with decades of hands on practice, Chris has added hours of formal study in the increasingly technical field. "I've always wanted to obtain the most training I could" he explained. "There's been a lot of changes in this industry and you've got to know what you're working on and how to deal with it". Although some changes are obvious, others are surprising such as the brand new Ford F-150's all aluminum bodies, electric vehicles, along with driving assistance features. We send our technicians through the training needed to ensure a quality and safe repair and stay on the forefront.
"You're seeing airbag systems with seat sensors and similar techniques that are very complex and precise" he said. Another thing that has become federally mandated are the (TPS) Tire Pressure Sensors.You must know these things, along with more technical body, frame and paint questions. "Chris also makes sure that Precision Collision offers its customers two other key components, organization and service.
"We try to treat every customer that comes in like they're the first customer we've ever had", he said. "I want every customer to receive the best quality and respect that we can possibly give"! We know you don't want to be here so we want to emphasize that your damaged vehicle is at the right place and we concentrate on repairing it so it is as undetectable as possible.
This goal also explains why Chris started Precision Collision in Pleasant Valley in 2004 and has expanded to their second location in 2010 purchasing another body shop. "The technical side of the business is very important', he explained. "But I wanted to operate my business with real honesty, and build relationships with our customers as well as the insurance companies. I want people to come to one of our stores because they know they will be taken care of above and beyond their expectations". Chris also states "You can have your car repaired anywhere but it's the quality and service you receive from Precision that sets us apart from others".

Iran Fires Medium-range Missile in War Game
Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards fired 14 missiles in an exercise Tuesday, one of them a medium-range weapon capable of striking Israel or U.S. targets in the Gulf, state media said.
The Guards' aerospace commander, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, insisted Iran's missile program posed no threat to European nations but was merely intended to provide defense against Israel and U.S. forces in the Gulf.
"Today, on the second day of the exercise, we fired Zelzals (Quake), Shahabs (Meteors) 1 and 2, and the Ghadr (Power)," a medium-range missile which is a modified version of the Shahab-3, Hajizadeh told state television.
He said the missiles were not a threat to European nations.
"Iran's missiles have a maximum range of 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) and are designed to reach U.S. targets in the region and the Zionist regime," the official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying.
"The Zionist regime is 1,200 kilometers away from Iran and we are able to target this regime with our 2,000 kilometer range missiles from Semnan and Damghan (in central Iran)," he said.
"We have the technology to build missiles with a longer range but we do not need them and we are not seeking to build such missiles."
Iran has said that its latest exercise is not aimed at any country but carries "a message of peace and friendship."
IRNA said the Guards fired nine Zelzals, two Shahab-1s, two Shahab-2s and a single medium-range Ghadr on the second day of their Great Prophet-6 exercise.
Iran unveiled the Ghadr, which has a range of 1,800 kilometers, following a successful test in September 2009.
The Zelzal is an unguided surface-to-surface missile with a maximum range of 400 kilometers.
The Shahab-1 and -2 have a range of 300 to 500 kilometers and are based on the Soviet-designed Scud.
On the first day of the exercise on Monday, the Guards unveiled an "underground missile silo" which they said was designed for launching their medium-range missiles, state television reported.
The broadcaster showed footage of a facility at an unknown location, containing a missile it identified as a Shahab-3.
"The technology to build these silos is completely indigenous," the state television website quoted the exercise's spokesman, Colonel Asghar Ghelich-Khani, as saying.
State television also showed a missile launch, without specifying its type or when the firing took place.
Iran's missile program, which is under the control of the powerful Guards, along with its space projects, has been a mounting source of concern in the West.
Western governments fear Tehran is developing a ballistic capability to enable it to launch atomic warheads which they suspect Iran is seeking to develop under cover of its civil nuclear program.
Tehran denies any such ambition.

Scripture: Mark 9:30-37
30 They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have any one know it; 31 for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise." 32 But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him. 33 And they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?" 34 But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest. 35 And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all." 36 And he took a child, and put him in the midst of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me."
Meditation: Whose glory do you seek? There can be no share in God's glory without the cross. When Jesus prophesied his own betrayal and crucifixion, it did not make any sense to his disciples because it did not fit their understanding of what the Messiah came to do. And they were afraid to ask further questions! Like a person who might receive a bad verdict from the doctor and then refuse to ask further questions, they, too, didn't want to know any more. How often do we reject what we do not wish to see? We have heard the good news of God's word and we know the consequences of accepting it or rejecting it. But do we give it our full allegiance and mold our lives according to it? Ask the Lord to fill you with his Holy Spirit and to inspire within you a reverence for his word and a readiness to obey it.
Do you compare yourself with others?
How ashamed the disciples must have been when Jesus overheard them arguing about who among them was the greatest! But aren't we like the disciples? We compare ourselves with others and desire their praise. The appetite for glory and greatness seems to be inbred in us. Who doesn't cherish the ambition to be "somebody" whom others admire rather than a "nobody"? Even the psalms speak about the glory God has destined for us. You have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor (Psalm 8:5).
Jesus made a dramatic gesture by embracing a child to show his
disciples who really is the greatest in the kingdom of God. What
can a little child possibly teach us about greatness? Children in
the ancient world had no rights, position, or privileges of their
own. They were socially at the "bottom of the rung" and at the
service of their parents, much like the household staff and
domestic servants.
Who is the greatest in God's kingdom?
What is the significance of Jesus' gesture? Jesus elevated a little child in the presence of his disciples by placing the child in a privileged position of honor. It is customary, even today, to seat the guest of honor at the right side of the host. Who is the greatest in God's kingdom? The one who is humble and lowly of heart - who instead of asserting their rights willingly empty themselves of pride and self-seeking glory by taking the lowly position of a servant or child.
Jesus, himself, is our model. He came not to be served, but to
serve (Matthew 20:28). Paul the Apostle states that Jesus emptied
himself and took the form of a servant (Philippians 2:7). Jesus
lowered himself (he whose place is at the right hand of God the
Father) and took on our lowly nature that he might raise us up and
clothe us in his divine nature.
God wants to fill us with his own glory
God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). If we want to be filled with God's life and power, then we need to empty ourselves of everything which stands in the way - pride, self-seeking glory, vanity, etc. God wants empty vessels so he can fill them with his own glory, power, and love (2 Corinthians 4:7). Are you ready to humble yourself and to serve as Jesus did?
"Lord Jesus, by your cross you have redeemed the world and revealed your glory and triumph over sin and death. May I never fail to see your glory and victory in the cross. Help me to conform my life to your will and to follow in your way of holiness."
Psalm 55:6–10, 226 And I say, "O that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest;
Daily Quote from the early church fathers: Downward roots enable upward growth, by Augustine of Hippo, 354-430 A.D.
"Observe a tree, how it first tends downwards, that it may then
shoot forth upwards. It fastens its root low in the ground, that
it may send forth its top towards heaven. Is it not from humility
that it endeavors to rise? But without humility it will not attain
to higher things (Proverbs 18:12). You are wanting to grow up into
the air without a root. Such is not growth, but a collapse." (excerpt from THE

Owning Property
Registering land or property
You need to register almost all land or property that you buy or are given with the Land Registration Office. Most people use a solicitor or conveyancer to do this, but you can do it yourself. Find out when you have to register land and how to do it.
Registering land or property – the basics
Registering your land or property with Land Registration Office:
- shows proof of ownership
- helps to protect your land if someone tries to make a claim on it
- makes changes in ownership easier
You can register land or property yourself, although most people use a solicitor or conveyancer. Your bond provider might insist that you use a professional. Land Registration Offices can't give you legal advice about your application.
Protecting your property against fraud
Land and property are usually the most valuable assets people own. As a result, they can be targeted by fraudsters. Find out what you can do to protect yourself against property fraud, and what to do if you are a victim of it.
When property fraud is more likely, Anyone with an interest in property can be the victim of property fraud, but there are some situations where this is more likely. For example:
- a property is empty or is bought to let
- the owner is abroad or absent
- the owner is infirm or in a home
- a relationship has broken down
If you're worried that you may become the victim of property fraud, get advice from a professional. For example, a conveyance or advice centres.
How to prevent property fraud
There are a number of things you can do to prevent property fraud. For example:
- register your property with the Land Registration Office
- keep your details on the land register up to date
- put a restriction on your title
You should also be careful what you sign. If you're not sure what it is you've been asked to sign, or what its legal effect might be, get professional advice.
Register your property
Not all properties in South Africa are registered with Land Registration Office. Registering:
- provides an up-to date official record of who owns the land
- gives you greater security
- means you might be able to get compensation from the Land Registration Office if you suffered a financial loss because of the fraud

As a performer working my first job as a music writer, I've asked myself a lot of questions about what it is I'm doing. What's the role of the writer—or, more ominously, the critic—in today's musical ecosystem? Does anyone even read concert reviews anymore? How much critical distance is too much or, in my own case, too little? In this series of interviews, I'm going straight to the source—music critics themselves—to find out why they do what they do.
My first conversation is with Peter Margasak, whose eclectic taste and thoughtful writing have been mainstays of the Chicago Reader music pages for almost twenty years. Margasak's newest venture, as curator of the Frequency Series at Constellation, puts him in closer relationship to Chicago's contemporary music scene than ever before. The series will place Chicago's new music ensembles alongside improvisers, electronic musicians, instrument inventors, and world music groups drawn from the diverse musical communities that Margasak covers. Our conversation revealed Peter as a down-to-earth, curious, constantly self-educating music journalist with a growing interest in advocacy.
Ellen McSweeney: Are you a musician? How did you get started as a music writer?
Peter Margasak: I'm not a musician. My parents just always had records. Neither one was really a musician, but they'd have records and I'd always listen. I remember getting a little toy record player when I was five or six. I was getting really into Top 40 by third grade, and my dad would tell me to listen to actual albums!
The thing that really put it into overdrive was getting into punk rock. I got into it largely for superficial reasons—because it was a weird thing to do—but then I listened long enough that it stopped being a social marker for me. I started listening to jazz records—the kids didn't think that was cool.
I started a 'zine called Butt Rag, and I did nine issues. By the end, they were 100 pages long and I was getting printed on newsprint. And that's how The Reader found me. They used to have a column called Spot Check, and they had seen Butt Rag, which was very snotty. And they said, you need to do that here.
EM: What do you think about this idea that the critic needs to be an expert?
PM: The older I've gotten, the more cautious I am. When I was younger, I had no problem writing about music I had no idea about. Now I try to be really careful when I write about stuff, because I'm admittedly kind of a novice with [contemporary classical] music. I know there's people that read it who are probably like, "Who is this guy??"
Older jazz musicians will come to me and say, "Are you a musician? No? Well, how can you write about music then?" My response is, "If you're not a musician, how can you listen to music?" I don't analyze stuff musicologically for people. I don't think people that read The Reader want that. You don't want to alienate people when they open it up.
I think a lot of the music I've been taken by and written about can be appreciated on different levels. Like [Ensemble Dal Niente's performance of Georg Friedrich] Haas—all that weird psychoacoustic stuff in there. It makes me think of La Monte Young, something about the physicality of it. I don't have to know everything about Beethoven to appreciate Haas.
EM: What draws you to contemporary classical music?
PM: What draws me is that it's not, unlike the rest of classical music, built around the 5,000th recording of a piece. I mean, I want to know what the best recordings are, but with newer music, sometimes only one recording exists. That's "the record." The composer is not this precious historic figure; he's this person that's in the room. That's what I see happening here. The Marcos Balter stuff with Deerhoof—it's really exciting to see that. Musicians have this shared sensibility where that collaboration isn't crass or artificial. It makes sense now—they can work together. The media tries to sort musicians into neat categories. The reality has never been that simple.
EM: Is there any negative baggage for you around the term "music critic"? Is "music writer" better?
PM: Working at The Reader, one of the things I had to actually learn was how to be a journalist. "Music critic" isn't satisfactory to me. I've learned to do reporting, to do research. It's not about saying, "This music makes me feel this way!" The context and the story behind it are often just as rewarding, and are crucial to understanding the actual music.
When I wrote about Katinka Kleijn collaborating with Dan Dehaan and Ryan Ingebritsen, it took a lot of back-and-forth for me to understand what they were doing. I can't tell you how many emails I had with Daniel, learning how the technical side works. I need to understand it if I'm going to tell someone else how it's used. I want to not just put out my opinion, but also inform people.
When people ask what I do, I just say music journalist. Criticism is part of that. I have no problem with music criticism; I think it's just not an adequate description of what I do.
EM: How do you decide what to cover? What guides you internally as you decide what concerts to go to and what deserves coverage?
PM: Some weeks, when there's been a lot of touring stuff going on, I have a list of 20 things I could cover. But maybe I can only do six. It's a combination of writing about things that are underexposed and deserve to be heard, but also things that I feel like I have something to say about. I don't want to just write about something where there's no need for me to chime in. I want to choose something where I can add something to the conversation. I don't write about stuff that I hate. At The Reader, we like to focus on things that are going to be positive. There's already not enough space; why waste it on being negative about something?
For me, it's tricky because i'm interested in so many different kinds of music. It's maddening trying to keep up with all of it. My wife could tell you how maddening. She has to live with all the detritus.
EM: What do you think is the ideal role of a music journalist?
PM: I think the role is to lead to discovery, to inform, to filter. That's one thing you hear about with the internet. We don't need critics anymore because everyone can share their opinion. But when everyone does that, then who do you trust? You have to build a relationship with a writer. Sometimes if a certain writer likes something, I know I'm not going to like it, or vice versa.
A music writer is a storyteller. That was one thing I learned at The Reader: you tell a story. The other stuff, like educating, is happenstance. You don't try to be a teacher, dictating what people need to know. If you tell it as a story, people absorb it in a much more natural, meaningful way.
I think because of my broad interests, I can connect things: classical music to jazz, or to noise. There are these through-lines that a lot of people don't really think about. I just wrote about Takehisa Kosugi—kind of a relentlessly experimental musician, part of the Japanese Fluxus movement, one of the main composers for Merce Cunningham's dance troupe. [On] one of the performances he did (when he recorded for Cunningham), Sonic Youth, and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin played with him. At The Reader, that might help draw people in. That's not my main job, but when I see the opportunity to draw that kind of connection that will help people, or make them curious, I take it. I think seeking that connection is the way I'm wired.
EM: [clickety clack clickety clack type type type type type]
PM: You're a really fast typer. I wish I could do that. I hate transcribing more than anything.

Synopsis: An unconventional coming-of-age tale, ANIMALS is an intoxicating blend of fantasy and cold reality. Seventeen-year-old high-schooler Pol has stubbornly extended his childhood, aided in no small measure by his opinionated, drums-playing, English-speaking pet teddy bear, Deerhoof. But when he meets alluring new student Icari, the safety of Pol's innocent imagination crumbles as he experiences his first pangs of love and sexual longing. But what will happen to Deerhoof in this new world and can Pol accept his new-found feelings? Co-starring Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, Sherlock) as his perceptive teacher, this fresh, inventive take on first love is funny, often bizarre and tragically intense.

Yes, I do plus one always. I've never seen a reason not to and it gives you an additional round, so why would someone NOT want that?
I don't bother at the range, but will top off +1 if carrying.

My EDC is a S&W Shield 9X19mm with (8) Rd capacity magazine plus one additional magazine. With that said its either going to be good enough or not good enough but that's the way its going to be.
One reason I don't do '+1' is convenience.
Unfortunately I have to go to CA nearly every week. Since I no longer live there I can't legally carry there. And while transporting there it must be unloaded.
I don't have 1 loose round to keep track of.
If 51 rounds in three mags and another box of 50 aren't enough, 1 more won't make a difference for me.

One in the chamber and all that will fit in the mag.
Hell, I replace 7 rd factory 1911 mags with 8 rounders [ the 7's get used for practice ] to get that extra round [ making it 9 ready to roll in the gun instead of 8 ] The difference between a 7 round mag loaded and not topped off and the 9 rds I carry in mine would be a 23% reduction in capacity. I carried a 1911 when the only mags that were reliable for street were 7 rounders [ and then the 8's came out and some worked and some didn't but not enough to trust them on the street to save by butt ]. Soon as 8's were made reliable enough a decade later, the 7's were relegated to practice and I increased my capacity by 13% instantly. But when 8's weren't a consideration, no way I'd not top off for the street with a 7 round mag. I'd have considered anyone doing so lacking forethought
Carry the 8 rd 45 S+W shield mags in gun and spares, the 6 rounders are for practice only. Topped off, 9 rds once again of 45acp.
Practicing with the double stacks, load insert one in chamber and shoot. Carry double stacks? load, insert one in chamber, remove mag, top off and reinsert. Every round counts when the gun is carried to keep my butt from growing cold.
Who wants a 23% reduction in potential ammo on board when it's for all the marbles? Not I. Hell, its still a 13% reduction from 8 to stock 7's alone.
If my pistol mags are hard to insert fully loaded [ topped off ], I've never noticed as I was trained to slam the mag into the mag well and not be a wimp about it.
I'm comfortable with only 10 rounds in my Glock 30. Don't really care what anyone else does. If I wasn't okay with 10 rounds, I'd use G21 mags. If that weren't comfortable enough, I'd carry an 18-19 round 9mm, or one of those 32-round mags, or . . . well at some point a person's just got to stop worrying about the little things like a single, solitary extra round.

Storage Symposium 2009 - Day3 Extraordinary Networks
Visits (11157)
Continuing my week in Chicago, for the IBM Storage Symposium 2009, I attended what in my opinion was the bestsession of the week. This was by a guy named Chip Copper, who covered IBM's set of Ethernet and Fibre Channelnetworking gear. Attributes are the four P's:
Equipment comes in two flavors: Top-of-Rack (ToR) thin pizza box switches, and Middle-of-Row (MoR) much larger directors.The MoR directors are engineered for up to 50Gbps per half-slot, so 10GbE and the future 40GbE can be easily accommodated in a single half-slot, and the future 100GbE can be done with a full slot (two half-slots).
While many companies might have been contemplating the switch from copper wires to optical fiber, there is a new reason for copper cables: Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). Many IP-phones, digital video surveillance cameras, and other equipment can have a single cable that delivers both signal and electricity over copper. If you have already deployed optical fiber throughout the building, there are "last mile" options where the signals are converted to copper wires and electrical energy added for these types of devices.
Two directors can be connected together with Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) cables to make them look like a single director with twice the number of ports. These are different than Inter-Switch Links (ISL) as they are not counted as an extra "hop" for networking counting purposes, especially important for FICON usage.
Today, we have 1Gbps, 2Gbps, 4Gbps and 8Gbps Fibre Channel. Since these all use 10-for-8 encoding (10 bits represents one 8-bit byte), then in was easy to calculate throughput: 8Gpbs was 800 MB/sec, for example. Auto-negotiation between speeds is not done at the HBA card, switch or director blade itself, but in the Short Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical connector. However, you can only auto-negotiate if the encoding matches. The 4/2/1 SFP can run at 4Gbps or auto-negotiate to slower 2Gbps and 1Gbps. The 8/4/2 SFP can run at 8Gbps, or auto-negotiate down to slower 4Gpbs and 2Gbps. Folks who still have legacy 1Gbps equipment, but want to run some things at 8 Gbps, can buy 8Gbps-capable switches or director blades, but then put some 4/2/1 SFPs into them. These 4/2/1 SFP are cheaper, so this might be something to consider if budgets are tight. Some SFPs handle up to 10km distances, but others only 4km, so be careful not to order the wrong ones.
Unfortunately, there are proposals in place for 10Gbps and 40Gbps that would use a different 66-for-64 encoding (66 bits represent 8 bytes), so 10Gbps would be 1200 MB/sec. These are used today for ISL between directors and switches.In theory, the 40Gbps could auto-negotiate down to 10Gbps, but not to any of the 8/4/2/1 Gbps that use different 10-for-8 encoding.
For those who cannot afford a SAN768B, there is a smaller SAN384B that can carry: 192 ports (4Gpbs/2Gbps), 128 ports (8Gbps) or 24 ports (10Gbps). The SAN384B can be ICL connected to another SAN384B or even the SAN768B as your needs grow.
On the entry-level side, the SAN24B-4 offers a feature called "Access Gateway". This makes the SAN24B look like an SAN end-point host, rather than a switch, and makes initial deployment of integrated bundled solutions easier. Once connected to everything, you can convert it over to full "switch" mode.The SAN40B-4 and SAN80B-4 provide midrange level support, including Fibre Channel routing at the 8Gbps level. In fact, all 8Gbps ports include routing capability. IBM offers both single-port and dual-port 8Gbps host bus adapter (HBA) cards to connect to these switches. These HBA offer 16 virtual channels per port, so that if you have VMware running many guests, or want to connect both disk and tape to the same HBA, you can keep the channel traffic separate for Quality of Service (QoS).
Chip wrapped up his session to discuss Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and explained why we need to have a loss-less Convergence Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) to meet the needs of storage traffic as well as traditional Fibre Channel does today. IBM offers all of the equipment you need to get started today on this FCoCEE, with Converged Network Ethernet cards for your System x servers, and a new SANB32 that has 24 10GbE CEE ports and 8 traditional 8Gbps FC ports. This means that you can put the CNA card in your existing servers, connect to this switch, and then connect to your existing 10GbE LAN and your existing 8Gpbs or 4Gpbs FC-based SAN to the rest of your storage devices.
Worried that the FCoE or CEE standards could change after you deploy this gear? Aren't most LAN and SAN switches based on Appl technorati tags: IBM, Brocade, Chip Copper, Ethernet, FC, FICON, FCP, DCN, ToR, MoR, PoE, HBA, ISL, ICL, SAN384B, SAN768B, SAN24B, SAN40B, SAN80B, SANB32, QoS, VMware, CEE, FCoE, FCoCEE

If you've been reading my blog recently you've seen the New Years Revolution challenge that my church is doing for the first 90 days of 2010. There is a spiritual challenge, a physical challenge and a financial challenge. They are calling it REV90 (Revolution in 90 days). I'm excited and ready to get started. They will be sending us emails each day with our daily goals. If you would like me to forward you these emails please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I will forward the email to you each day and you can "join the revolution"!
Here is a quick re-cap of the goals:
Spiritual Challenge –
- Pray daily and journal.
- Read the Bible daily.
- Attend your worship service 10 out of the 13 weeks.
- Share the good news and invite someone to church at least twice a month.
- Each week serve within your church and outside the church.
Physical Challenge – PURE
- Purify your life and keep your body pure for your husband or wife.
- Use High Octane Fuel. Eat healthy, drink lots of water and limit alcohol.
- Rest. Get good sleep each night, honor Sunday as your Sabbath day and take a vacation (Sabbatical) each year.
- Exercise. Get moving. Have a goal of moving each and every day, even if it is just for 10 minutes.
Financial Challenge –
- Plan for peace. Plan out your goals for the year.
- Tithe to test. Test God by tithing 10% off the top for 90 days straight (and beyond hopefully)
- Pay to Play. Do not use any credit for the first 90 days of 2010. Only buy what you can afford.
