I remembered this time of the year, 2011. I came back from England in April, for Easter. I was working there as a babysitter for a Lebanese family. At the end of my Easter holiday the family decided that my help isn't needed anymore. So, there I was, unemployed in May. On my birthday I didn't see anybody. Kept my phone closed. Everybody knew I was supposed to go back.
I learned the bad news and I told my brother about it. Actually, it's improper said. He felt it. He asked me what's wrong. I told him I won't be going back to England. He told me to go have a barbeque with friends, anyway, it was already scheduled, and then we will sort it out. See, this is the thing about my brother. He feels when I'm going through something. And he helps by acting normal. This is his super-power. He lifts people up.
After the sad news I decided I won't tell my family. I'm talking about my grandfather, who raised me. So I decide to stay out of reach in my mom's apartment. She was in Spain anyway. So I hid there for almost a month without anybody knowing what I'm doing. Depressed and lonely. 24 years of age and I don't know what's going on with my life. No income, no support. Till one day when somebody saw me going to the supermarket and told my grandfather about it. Then I had to come clean.
I tried to find a job in Romania but everything was shit man. Salary will not cover rent and monthly expenses. So I found a job in Greece. I applied. They took me. Here I am, mid-july on the bus to Athens. Took the ferry to Crete. I was on the ferry looking at the stars and imagining a fairytale. Clear moon on the mediteranean sky. 8 hours with the ferry and I reached the port. Heraklion if I'm not wrong. From there I had instructions on how to reach the resort. I was supposed to be a waitress in a big resort in Crete Island.
I reached the port and looked for a bus. My last money went on the bus ticket. And guess what? The bus took me to the wrong place, even though I had a long conversation with the driver about my destination. It took me to the wrong place and, given the fact that I was in a completely different country, I decided to go back to where I arrived and take another bus, that will hopefully take me to my destination. Good plan, but, as I said, I spent al my money on the previous ticket. So here I am, where I started, but with no means of going further. You know what I did? I saw a bar, I went in and I invented a story on how I lost my money and I need somebody to help me find my way to the resort.
I still see the image in front of my eyes. I am at the bar chatting with a young bartender and she keeps on asking me how I lost my money. Between us is a jar on which is written "tips". I glance at it while I'm talking to her and I feel she doesn't believe me. Probably she thought I need money for drugs or something. Tears dance in my eyes, and she feels it. She opens the "tips" jar and gives me the money for my trip. You don't know gratitude the way I know it. You don't know how my heart exploded in that moment. Strangers. Strangers will sometimes do more than somebody you know for a lifetime.
I went on the bus again and this time I reached my destination. 5 pm in the afternoon. I was supposed to be there at 2pm. I tell reception why I'm there and they call the manager. A Spanish guy. Ricardo if my memory helps me. He takes me in his office and asks me about my trip. I tell him the reason I was late. He's very calm and gentle. God bless him. He tells me about the schedule and all work related details. He tells me that my uniform is ready and that there's a shuttle that will drop me to my accommodation, in a village nearby.
I thank him and I'm happy I made it. I'm ready to go. He stops me. He asks me if I'm hungry, if I have money for food. I am embarrassed, but yet I admit. My voice strangled. He looks at me, he opens a drawer, he takes 500 euros and gives it to me. I am reluctant. He tells me to take it for now and it will be deducted from my first salary. I told you, you don't know gratitude the way I know it. You don't appreciate people the way I do.
We shake hands and he sends me away with the driver to my accommodation. I have no words to thank him. The ride to the accommodation it's a local tourist train. Like the toy ones. The sea on one side, mountain on the other. Beautiful Crete. We reach to the accommodation. A 2 or 3 storey building. I am on the ground floor with one of the chefs, Polina, a Greek girl. She was never home as I, later, found out.
I didn't realize it at the moment, but, when you go out of the building, the sea it's a few meters away. There's a secluded little beach with rough sand. Old people go there. There's fish in the water. The small ones, the type that eats your dead skin. The elders are in the water letting the fish do their job. Over a pile of rocks, on the left it's a proper beach, with long chairs and umbrellas. A few pubs and music in the distance. But I prefer the secluded one. Also to the left, uphill, there's a small church, where later on I went and cried my sorrows away.
Beautiful church, with glasses full of colours. I went there to pray, to think, to cry. To cry my loneliness away. I still remember those day. They'll never leave me.
I started work. I was a waitress in the lobby bar. And, man, how many glasses I broke. We had the coolest manager. After duty he will give us shots of tequila and then he'll take us to the city to dance. I made friends. People that I still remember, that sometimes I talk to. I advanced from the lobby bar to the mexican restaurant with Argiro. I don't know how to write her name now, but she was like a mother to me. From there I went up even more and I reached the VIP restaurant. Because this is what I do, I get better. Except when I don't fully understand what my job is. But when I know what I'm supposed to do, I'm the best.
In the VIP restaurant I met the funniest and the kindest chef. Manthos. He made my life easier only with his presence and his words. We talk from time to time. Manthos if you read this, you should know how grateful I am to meet you in this lifetime. You are one of the good ones.
Dimitri, the hotel chef, you should also know that I respect you so much. You're the coolest. A team I will never forget.
Then the season ended. Rain started. I was one of the last to leave. Only a few guests in the hotel. They'll close for the winter. But that summer was one of the best in my life. I can never forget the rides I was taking with the toy train to work. Sea on one side, mountain on the other. Shepherds and sheeps. Dogs guarding them. Exploring when I had some free time. Mesmerizing green and blue sea. Skinny dipping at night. Beach parties. Bike rides. Sangria, home made, on the balcony. You can never know the happiness I lived that summer.
You don't know gratitude the way I know it.
It's all love and late night writing shenanigans. Peace!

The Swedish Agency for Public Management (Statskontoret) has completed its commission from the Government to examine whether the district division that is to be introduced in the population register in 2016 should form the basis of division in the sub-model for children and young people with a foreign background. The sub-model equalises the additional costs, primarily for pre-school services and schools, that might result from a municipality having city districts with a relatively high number of children and pupils with a foreign background. The current basis of division is parishes. This means that calculations are based on the population of the parishes where the percentage of children and young people with a foreign background exceeds the national average. The population data is from 2009 and is not updated. The sub-model is one of ten models in the system of cost equalisation between municipalities.
Statskontoret has evaluated district division in relation to alternative bases of division (parish, municipality and ward). This evaluation contained requirements for the basis of division with respect to precision, data supply and simplicity. Precision refers to the basis of division capturing the concentration of children and pupils with a foreign background in an acceptable manner, and that the basis of division does not lead to distortions. Data supply refers to the fact that the division will not change and that the sub-model can be supplied with updated population data. Simplicity refers to the calculations being relatively simple to perform. Districts meet these set requirements. Statskontoret therefore proposes that districts should form the basis of division in the sub-model.
The proposal entails an increase in the financial reallocation. A finer basis of division captures the percentage of children and young people with a foreign background with higher precision than a coarser basis of division. The current basis of division, parishes, will reallocate a total of around SEK 556 million in the equalisation years 2015 and 2016 (based on population data from 2013 and 2014). Districts will increase the reallocation for 2015 and 2016 to around SEK 630 million.
The commission also included a calculation of the outcome for individual municipalities. The financial outcome for the equalisation year 2016 changes in an interval ranging from minus SEK 53 per resident to plus SEK 145 per resident (median of minus SEK 19 per resident). Municipalities that do not have a percentage of children and young people with a foreign background above the national average with the current basis of division, and which would not obtain this level when using districts either, will all have an outcome change of minus SEK 19 since reallocation will increase in the sub-model.

Only one more week to go before Eurocom's re-imagining of GoldenEye 007 hits North American shelves, and few things should get the hype train a-rollin' like watching Bond blow up the entire planet in a tank.
The developers certainly aren't messing around when it comes to updating the tank stage of the original, having taken that clunky, missile-laden run through the streets of St. Petersburg and created what looks to be a much more interesting and diverse segment over highways, through a construction site and smack-dab into a train.
But will there be blue mines in the middle of the street to blow up? Guess we'll all find out next week.

THE PRIVATE PATIENT by P.D. James (Knopf, 2009)
By THE WRITING DOCTOR: NY Hoffman, email@example.com,
16 San Rafael Dr, Rochester, NY, 585-385-1515
We're all growing older. Well, maybe not growing. More like getting there.
With 78 million American boomers hitting 60, with an even higher percentage of UK denizens trying to figure out what to do about the aging "process," novels increasingly focus on the dilemmas of older characters. For the reading public grows older by the minute. What's more. As writers get gray—and grayer, they write about what it's like. Or not to like.
Lately, many writers in their 70s and yes, their 80s, have turned their magnifying glasses to what happens or doesn't happen with age. Philip Roth's EVERYMAN and EXIT GHOST, Margaret Drabble's THE SEA LADY: A LATE ROMANCE, Jose Saramago's DEATH WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS. Larry McMurtry's WHEN THE LIGHT GOES all focus on the failures of flesh and spirit, the losses accompanying too many candles on birthday cakes.
At 88, P.D. James is older than this crew, an inspiration to keep going for everyone who hates counting birthday candles. In her latest novel, THE PRIVATE PATIENT, James indicts aging as "the amorphous flattening of self." Yet Adam Dalgleish, her stalwart poetry-writing detective, seems ageless as far as searching Google can ascertain. A longtime widower, he's apparently much older than Emma, his fiancée, or so her distant father believes.
Yet both James and Dalgleish are coming to the end of their ropes. When Dalgleish looks upon the remnants of Rhoda Gradwyn's body, strangled after her plastic surgery to remove a childhood facial scar, he thinks, "This was not the most horrific corpse he had seen in his years as a detective," yet he wonders, "Perhaps I've had enough of murder."
What faces say and don't say fascinates James. Dalgleish, who dominates 14 of her novels—including this one-- first appeared in James's 1962 novel, COVER HER FACE. Gradwyn, a mudslinging journalistic dredger long known for exposing hidden truths, has decided to have her surgery because she "no longer needed her scar." Yet the reader, who comes to identify with her, never knows what spawned this decision.
Who killed Rhoda Gradwyn? And why? The group at Cheverell Manor, the Tudor mansion now converted into a plastic surgery clinic, is rife with potential murderers. From Dr Chandler-Powell, the plastic surgeon himself, to his worried and worrying staff, James depicts each suspect, warts—motives—and all.
James makes it clear that institutions ostensibly caring for patients whether for facial alterations or getting older are not what they seem. Dalgleish and his team obtain the final clues to youth's ancient stalking of age from an old lawyer whose last days are barricaded in a nursing facility where "care had been taken not to distress visitors by displaying any notice bearing the words retirement, elderly, nursing, or home."
What now? Does Rhoda Gradwyn's murder signify the end of both Baroness James's mysteries and Adam Dalgleish's cerebral solutions? We don't know.
Still, guessing is an honorable art for mystery readers, whether old or young. THE PRIVATE PATIENT peopled by lonely losers ends with their tidy couplings worthy of Dickens. Future Jamesian readers can only hope that age will not wither James's infinite variety nor will Dalgleish's marriage spoil her classical detective's insights.

Makaton Taster Workshop for Families and Carers
Contact A Family will give a free Makaton Taster Workshop for Families and Carers at Toby House on Monday May 22nd.
This free session will give you a practical insight into what Makaton is and who uses it. You'll also have the opportunity to learn approximately 30 signs and symbols.
And you'll get handouts about everything you've learned to take home and share. Plus you'll get some general information about further training and resources.
The workshop will be conducted by Shona Chambers, CAF North East's Parent Adviser and Regional Makaton Tutor.
Book your place
The workshop is open to any family member of someone on the autism spectrum.
Places are free, but must be booked beforehand.
- Date: Monday 22 May 2017
- Time: 10.00am to 12.00pm
- Place: Toby House, Bedlington
- Book via: E-mail email@example.com or call us on 0300 365 3055.
What is Makaton?
Makaton is a language programme that uses sign language and pictorial symbols to communicate.
It's a support for spoken language rather than a replacement. The method uses signs and symbols in spoken word order alongside speech and at the same time.
It allows children and adults to communicate straight away. Eventually the signs and symbols might be dropped as spoken language develops. This makes it a useful tool for working with children on the autism spectrum.

WOODROW - The girls basketball teams for Plainview and Cooper are both ranked in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll, yet both still are searching for answers.
Tuesday night when they met on the court, the Class 3A Lady Pirates had just a few more answers than the Class 4A No. 21 Lady Bulldogs, and in the end that made the difference in the 51-45 win for Cooper.
Senior guard Brittney Bednarz hit three free throws in the final seconds of the game after Plainview had erased a 10-point deficit with just over two minutes left, and Cooper (8-2) escaped with a win that head coach Trent Hilliard said will pay huge dividends down the road.
"Brittney did a good job of scoring for us, and that's what's good about this team is we can have different people step up and do different things," Hilliard said. "Some of them were a little off their game still on Thanksgiving break I think, but this is the seventh ranked team we've played already out of 10 games. To go beat a 4A ranked team is special. The kids weren't overly excited with the way they played and know they can get better. They've set the ball high and are working to get there."
While Hilliard had four players with starting experience, veteran Plainview coach Danny Wrenn put a lineup on the floor with just one in senior guard Laura Castillo, who almost single-handedly brought the Lady Bulldogs (8-3) back from a early double-digit deficit. But the Lady Bulldogs had no one - yet - to follow her.
Castillo, who had a team-high 22 points, pulled Plainview to within 46-42 with just under a minute remaining in the game. After a Cooper bucket, Michelle Portillo converted a 3-point play to make it a one-possession game, and the Lady Bulldogs stole the ensuing inbounds pass.
But Portillo missed a 3-point attempt, and Bednarz grabbed the rebound and was fouled. She hit both free throws with 31.4 seconds left to push the lead to five, then hit one of two 13 seconds later to ice the game and finish with a team-high 22 points.
"I'm really proud of our you team," Wrenn said. "They competed hard and Cooper's a really good team and we knew they would be. All in all we're trying to find the right mix of kids that will battle night in and night out. We're disappointed in losing but we're going to find some people that will battle hard like Laura. We've got a lot of young players and we're finding out a lot of things,"
Early in the game, Wrenn tried to counter Cooper's experience by pulling the ball out and milking the clock on almost every possession. Cooper was content to stay in its 2-3 zone and force Plainview to shoot from beyond the 3-point arc.
But that pace only proved to slow the game down more to the pace of the Lady Dogs' liking, and coming out of an early timeout, Hilliard implored his team to pick up the pace. It took, however, until late in the second quarter for that to happen.
Tied at 17, Bednarz hit the second of her three second-quarter 3-pointers with 1:49 left in the first half, then after Plainview missed three free throws inside the final 1:24, Bednarz closed out the half with her third trey to put the Lady Pirates up 23-17 as Cooper closed the half on an 11-2 run.
Cooper then started the third quarter by working inside as forward Bridget Rampy and Beka Brown had layups on consecutive trips down the floor, and suddenly the Lady Pirates found themselves up by 10 at 27-17. That took Plainview out of its game plan of taking time off the clock.
"We felt after halftime after we got that six-point lead that we were in control and they weren't going to be able to pull (the ball) out, and we wanted to extend our defense up without giving Castillo some good looks," Hilliard said. "We just tried to continue to stay in the lead and play, and we learned a little bit at the end in some situations we didn't respond well to. There are things we need to work on and the kids have to learn."
Cooper was in control and looked as though it would take a double-digit lead into the final period, but Portillo hit a 3-pointer just before halftime, and Veronica Garcia followed it with a layup to start the fourth, and just like that Cooper's lead was cut to six at 34-28.
The Lady Pirates briefly extended it back to 10 at 38-28 on a Tayla Mosser 3-pointer, and a trey from Brown pushed the lead to 41-30 with 3:27 remaining. But Castillo hit consecutive 3-pointers to slice the lead to five before another Mosser 3 and a layup by Rampy made it 46-36 with 2:05 remaining.
Plainview went on a 6-0 run to cut it to 46-42, setting up the final few tense moments in which Cooper found just enough key plays to finish off the win.
Portillo and Bailey Davis chipped in eight points each for Plainview.
Mosser and Rampy added nine points each for the Lady Pirates.
"Plainview's going to be a good team because they will continue to get better and better with so many young kids out there," Hilliard said. "Our experience is hopefully something we can lean on for the majority of the years. When it gets later we're going to be playing some other teams like Shallowater that have a lot of experience, too. We've got to be able to execute and that's what we're working toward."

Feb. 29, 2012 -- The University of Houston Law Center's website improved its ranking to 24th among 200 law school sites nationwide in 2011, moving up for the third consecutive year in the study conducted by the Georgetown Law Library. The Law Center's home page ranked 35th in 2010 and 52nd in 2009.
For the third year, all ABA-accredited home pages were "evaluated based on objective criteria" in an attempt "to separate the good from the great," Roger V. Skalbeck, Georgetown's Associate Law Librarian for Electronic Resources & Services, said in releasing the study.
The study assessed 24 elements across three broad categories -- Design Patterns and Metadata; Accessibility and Validation; and Marketing and Communications – to arrive at the rankings. The Law Center's landing page achieved a perfect score in the marketing and communications category.

SMS based: Savvion BPM Integration with Mobile Devices Series
Mobile Apps have been emerging as one of the most powerful drivers in the recent years. Any product offering which does not integrate with Smart phones is definitely on its way of facing serious resistance in market penetration. Savvion Business Manager from Progress seems to have overlooked the fact in recent years. What's surprising is that the version 3.0 of Savvion (Current Production release is 7.x) actually claimed to have an integration with Biz Mobile although I am not aware of a working version of the same. Organizations that have huge Savvion infrastructure are struggling to have an integration with Smart Phones and similar devices, Blackberry being one of the major phones being sought for.
This white paper intends to showcase some of the approaches in which Savvion Business Manager could be integrated with Mobile Devices with focus on Blackberry. Our overall approach assumes that Cellphone requirement pertains to task Approvals/Completions rather than Business Process Modeling etc.
Savvion Mobile Approaches: SMS Based
A simple yet common approach could be to make use of SMS Based integration. Short Messages could be sent out to the performer cellphones with basic details and instructions on actions. For example, a simple approval could be done my replying APPROVE or DISAPPROVE.
Care needs to be taken for security and validations. Other area which could be difficult is that how to track which request was approved. End user could be asked to provide a tracking number as part of the reply.
For providing a seamless integration the organization needs to have robust Identity management system where Phone numbers could be looked up and validated. Cost of Outgoing and Incoming SMS gateway, and SMS messages also increase the cost (onetime and recurring).

October Astronomy Month 2008 - Update, September 11
posted: 4176 days ago, on Thursday, 2008 Sep 11 at 10:34
tags: astronomy, outreach, Astronomy Month 2008, SAASTA, Ed Foster.
In less than three weeks, Astronomy Month begins.
Many months ago, we (Ed and I) submitted a proposal for a "road show"; submission deadline was April 15. It's now almost five months later, and we still do not know if we are to go ahead with our activities. Our plan is to visit eight smaller centres (Saldanha, St Helena Bay, Moreesburg, Piketberg, Robertson, Bonnievale, Montague and Barrydale) and give them "the works" day-time activities and then an evening lecture and star-gazing.
Day-time events: An exhibition will consist of four parts: solar viewing, a series of posters, a number of activities, and a set of models. All four parts will be hands-on and interactive to stimulate question-asking ("show-and-tell"). Depending on the logistics of the venue, visuals and computer animations may also be presented in a "show-and-tell" format. Everyone attending will be invited to the evening's session, and posters advertising the star-gazing event will be prominently on display.
The posters will be used to illustrate the various concepts we will explain, and to guide the answering of questions. The contents of the large posters are (in no particular order):
Smaller posters will show:
As dictated by the needs and desires of those attending, duplicates of the smaller posters will be given to particularly interested individuals.
Handouts will consist of
In addition, there will be A4-sized versions of (4) major constellations with a transparency overlay, and (5) lunar phases.
The activities will include cover the following:
The models:
The posters that were set up during the day, will be on display again inside the evening venue. The activity table for assembling a planisphere will also be set up.
The evening session will begin at around 16:00 with a screening of the "Cosmic Africa" movie.
At 18:00, after a short break, the evening talk will begin. From 20:00 the event will move outside for hands-on star gazing. If the weather is bad and star gazing isn't possible, an extended version of the evening talk will be given.
Astronomy is by its very nature an exciting visual experience. The evening talk, which is a brief introduction to basic astronomy, will rely on the use of animations and video clips to illustrate this gripping facet.
These video clips include amongst others the following topics:
Members of the audience take part in a demonstration of the changing visibility of the constellations throughout the year. In a similar way, the changing lunar phases will be demonstrated.
Using planetarium software, the night sky will be explained. Why is the sky blue? What happens at dusk? Why can't we see the stars during the day? What is light pollution, why is it bad, and what can be done about it? Point out local examples of light pollution.
The history of astronomy in southern Africa will be illustrated, in two facets: as cultural astronomy with the emphasis on indigenous knowledge, and as scientific astronomy (culminating with SALT and space exploration). Astronomy-as-science is a natural introduction to technology-related topics.
During the talk, we will encourage the attendees to share any star lore they may be familiar with.
If the sky is clear, end the talk with a short preparation for what is to happen next. Explain briefly how to use a telescope, and why binoculars are a very good observing tool. For those who have made a planisphere, remind them how to use it. It will be dark by 20:00 move outside for a practical observing evening using binoculars and telescopes.
Throughout October 2008, the planets Venus and Jupiter are excellently positioned for observing. Venus is low in the west at nightfall, while Jupiter is high overhead.
Remind the audience of the difference between a star and a planet. Explain how to determine north/south/east/west. Then give a guided constellation tour, pointing out the interesting star patterns with an astronomical laser pointer. Demonstrate how to use their paper planispheres.
Show the star patterns as seen by indigenous south Africans (insert the second Star Wheel at this point). Introduce the bright stars by both their scientific and indigenous names. Point out the Southern Cross and Pointers (giraffes), the Kissing Star, Dawn's Heart Star, etc. etc.
After the naked-eye viewing, use binoculars and telescopes for more detailed views. Explain the basic physics of what is being looked at.
Venus will be in gibbous phase explain why this phase can't be seen in binoculars, but can be seen in a telescope. Discuss the significance of Venus' phase and for our understanding of the geometry of the solar system. Discuss the Venus Express space craft currently in orbit around Venus.
Jupiter and its four bright moons will probably be the showpiece of the evening's observing. Using binoculars, identify the four moons of Jupiter. Then look through a telescope and compare the views. Discuss the shape and colour of the planet, and its dark bands. Mention the space craft that have visited Jupiter.
Use the binoculars to view constellations, for example Crux, the Pointers, Scorpius, and so on. Explain why binoculars have a large field of view and are "better" than a telescope.
With reference to the posters, look at examples of each of the objects illustrated. Emphasize the beauty and the personal experience. Target objects include (but is not limited to): the Jewel Box, omega Centauri, M4, M7, Lagoon Nebula, and so on. Compare the view of these objects through a telescope and through binoculars. Show alpha Centauri and discuss double stars. Why can't you see alpha Centauri as being double with the naked eye, but as a double through a telescope? Point out that alpha Cen is a star very similar to our own Sun. Discuss Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our Sun. Show alpha Crucis, another double star.
We will continue showing deep sky objects (of which there is an entire Universe full) until the last guest leaves. In our experience (which between the two of us totals 46 years) people stay very late!
nothing more to see. please move along.

Susan Pollock Kopperman calls herself a "people decorator." She helps strengthen corporate images by designing the clothing that employees wear to work. Her clients are varied in their needs. And Kopperman's skills and interests are just as diverse.
This spring Kopperman's company, Careerlook Inc., received the Career Apparel Institute's Image of the Year award for her work with Sprint PCS. She shares this award with such past winners as Mobil Oil, Coca-Cola and Exxon. It is the uniform industry's highest honor. Because of that exposure, she has a growing list of new accounts wanting the benefits of her expertise.
Kopperman's work in the business began in 1971, when she went to work for Career Apparel, Inc., in Chicago, Illinois. One of her first clients was Ozark Airlines. Attendants had worn basic navy blue uniforms, but she gave them variety by designing new mix-and-match wardrobes. She helped develop work clothes for the employees at Yellowstone National Park. She worked on structured apparel programs for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, U.S. Customs and Immigration, McDonald's and others.
In 1974, Dutton Brookfield of Kansas City's Unitog, a uniform company, hired her to work for him. Her task was to call on "white-collar" companies, such as banks or savings and loan institutions, to sell custom-made office apparel, such as embroidered shirts and blazers. The division was called Careerlook.
Kopperman worked for Brookfield until he closed the Careerlook division, then she ran an apparel business on her own. Susan recalls: " I got a business plan. I got my trademark. I started making contacts with CEO's of companies that did purchasing, going to vendors, getting the concept of my company all together."
Through Careerlook, Kopperman has provided everything from T-shirts for workers at a car wash to business suits for executives. Local clients have included Angel Flight America, Fiorella's Jack Stack, First National Bank of Olathe, the Diagnostic Imaging Center and Sprint.
The Sprint PCS project came to her, like most of her accounts, because she saw a need. It became obvious to her the day she went into a Sprint PCS retail store and couldn't tell who worked there. "I just happened to go in to buy a phone. I said, 'Are you guys on a [uniform] program? Who is your manager?' and one thing led to another," Kopperman said. She made a presentation to Sprint PCS and competed with four other companies for the account. "To get this award this year was like a validation," Susan explains.
Susan explains, "Now is a wonderful time for a woman to start stretching out, even if she is only doing part-time work–to start exploring that side of herself and learning about money and how things work. I'm learning about all of those things I never knew."
She is a great female advocate, but she doesn't think of herself as a woman in her role as company president. "I think of myself as doing a job.
"And if you do have fears, and I do, I think part of being in business is you have to process and work through your fears. But you are a better person when you get to the other side of it because you have received the message. I always ask myself, 'What is the message here? What am I supposed to be learning?' And it's a process; you are always looking for the right answer.
"The most important things to me are my children, my health, my work and my relationships with the people I love. That's it. That's what I focus on every day."

No. 10 Penn State narrowly avoids upset, beats Appalachian State in OT
It was Sept. 1, 2007, that Appalachian State shocked the college football world by upsetting Michigan in the Big House.
And on Sept. 1, 2018, the Mountaineers nearly upset another Big Ten opponent on the road. But Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley wouldn't let it happen, and the Nittany Lions pulled out a 45-38 win in overtime.
Penn State entered the fourth quarter with a 24-10 lead, but it allowed App State to come all the way back and take a 38-31 lead with under two minutes to play. But McSorley, the senior Heisman candidate, led his team on a game-tying touchdown drive to force overtime.
The score that forced OT was a beautiful ball from McSorley, who had a ton of pressure in his face, to redshirt freshman K.J. Hamler. Before his TD catch, Hamler gave his team tremendous field position with a kick return to midfield.

— Big Ten Network (@BigTenNetwork) September 1, 2018
When overtime began, Penn State fed Miles Sanders, the replacement for Saquon Barkley, to take the lead. And when it was App State's turn, the PSU defense, which had struggled for much of the game, finally stepped up and got a stop.
After narrowly converting a fourth-and-1, App State QB Zac Thomas looked to the end zone. Thomas had torched the PSU secondary all afternoon. This time. PSU corner Amani Oruwariye came up with a clutch interception in overtime to avoid the huge upset.
Nope, not on @PennStateFball's watch.@ooFUTURISTICoo picks it off to end App State's upset bid. pic.twitter.com/rjUDpMj7Gf
— Big Ten Network (@BigTenNetwork) September 1, 2018
Penn State defense has serious holes to fix
Penn State, from a College Football Playoff perspective, would have had no room for error the rest of the season with a loss. And with the likes of Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan and Michigan State on the schedule, that would not have been too promising.
But from more of a micro perspective, the Penn State defense has obvious issues. App State QB Zac Thomas, in his first career start, torched the Nittany Lion secondary, especially in that wild fourth quarter.
The Mountaineers, who sprinkled in a surprise onside kick, scored on three straight fourth-quarter drives, all via Thomas — two passes and one run. Some of the throws Thomas made were virtually indefensible, but there were many occasions where App State receivers were running free behind PSU defenders. That has to be cleaned up.
The Nittany Lions are working in a lot of new faces on that side of the ball. Familiar names like Jason Cabinda and Marcus Allen are gone, and inexperienced underclassmen are stepping in. With a trip to Pittsburgh to face the rival Panthers next week, things won't get easier.
App State deserves its props
There's a reason the Mountaineers have been near the top of the Sun Belt since they joined the conference. App State is a tremendous program, and did not look overmatched in any facet of Saturday's game.
Some of Penn State's speed at the skill positions — mainly Sanders and Hamler — was tough to deal with, but the Mountaineers got pressure on McSorley for much of the afternoon.
Maybe Big Ten programs should stop scheduling App State?

This mug is wheel thrown from a beautiful, midrange porcelain. After the mug dried the bird decals were attached and pulled handle added. Once the mug dried, the foliage designs were painted in underglaze and the mug was bisque fired in the kiln. A peacock blue glaze was poured inside and the outside was painted with a thin layer of clear glaze. The mug returned to the kiln a second time for a cone 6 (about 2232F) firing during which the silica in the clay and glaze vitrified and turned to a permanent, durable gloss.
This mug can be made to order with another image on the front or a different glaze inside. If you would like to customize, please leave a note at checkout and allow 2 to 3 weeks for shipping.

T3-H8 was a refurbished T3-series utility droid that was on sale by Janice Nall on Taris during the Jedi Civil War. She sold it to Revan while he was on Taris during the Sith quarantine of the world, but the droid exploded as soon as it left the store, forcing Janice to give him a refund. T3-H8 was repaired by the time Revan returned to purchase the newer model T3-M4 just before the planet's destruction.
Behind the scenesEdit
The player has the option of either taking the 50 credit refund offered or bullying Janice into giving more. The latter action grants the player points towards the dark side of the Force.
The player can also haggle Janice into increasing the refund to 75 credits, with the chance of succeeding without resorting to the dark side.

There is something about a mystery that I cannot resist. So I am signing up for the Merely Mystery Reading Challenge hosted by Musings of a Bookish Kitty. The aim of the challenge is to explore the different types of sub-genres in the crime fiction category.
There are 12 sub-genres to choose from:
You can either choose a few categories or read one or more books from each category. Since it is the dawn of a new year and I am feeling ambitious, I am signing up for the Shamus who has seen it all level. i.e. I read at least one book from each category. I'll make a list as the year progresses.
The Whodunit: The classic crime puzzle. The story generally revolves around determine who committed the crime, and potentially apprehending them. Some Whodunits, called "fair play mysteries", will include all of the clues available in the text so that a careful reader can solve the crime on his or her own.
Locked Room Mystery: Like the Whodunit, there is a puzzle (crime) to solve. However in this instance, the crime has taken place under impossible circumstances, such as in a locked room or on an island with no way to exit or enter.
Cozy: The nice person's mystery. Often the crime, particularly if it's violent, occurs off scene. Sex and language are on the cleaner side. Humor is a common feature of the cozy.
Hard-Boiled/Noir: Often cynical, bleak or realistic, hard-boiled and noir stories often focus more on the characters involved instead of the crime. Violence and sex are not downplayed.
The Inverted Detective Story: In this style of story, the person perpetrating the crime is known up front. The point of the story is to see how (or if) the detective goes about solving the crime and how the perpetrator reacts to the investigation.
The Historical Whodunnit: Simply put, this is a mystery set in a historical setting. Often the mystery has some historical significance and features detection methods that are appropriate for that era.
The Police Procedural: Instead of featuring a independent detective, the police are investigating the crime in these stories. They often focus on the actual methods that police officers use to solve crimes.
The Professional Thriller: This kind of mystery involves a professional who is not involved directly in law enforcement, such a lawyer or doctor, who nonetheless finds themselves investigating a crime.
The Spy Novel: Related to the other professional mysteries, spy novels focus on intelligence operatives as they work to prevent or avenge some criminal plot. Spy novels can feature either in fantastic or realistic settings.
Caper Stories: While other crime and mystery stories look at the aftermath of crimes, caper stories feature criminals as the lead characters. The story usually details the planning and commission of a crime.
The Psychological Suspense: In these stories, the detective story takes on a psychological component.
Spoofs and Parodies: Spoofs and parodies make light of crime fiction, often with the goal of commenting on the conventions of the genre. Many feature famous characters, e.g. Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, Philip Marlowe, or pastiches of those characters.

Nice Friendship Quote/ SMS/ Status: Don't have too many friends, you won't be able to justify
Don't have too many friends, as you won't be able to justify and neither will your friends when you want them to.
By: Wah Quotes -
Don't have too many friends, as you won't be able to justify and neither will your friends when you want them to.
Ignoring old friends and running after new is just like leaving your bag of gold coins behind, in an attempt to find few new.
Best way to kill all your enemies is to make them your friends.
Giving gifts and flowers to a friend is just gifting a gift, Giving a gift of Love, Sacred Thoughts and Friendship is like giving a fortune.
Parents are my closest friends, they never make fun of me, when I loose.
Friends are many, but a friend who comes forward to fight against the biggest turmoils in your life, is a real friend.
Two people who have the same wants are two people that should be friends.
It was Destined in their Friendship that they just wanted to run forever, Shadow and Shadow.
Friendship is not the gift, but the result of hard work.
The Capacity for Friendship is God's own way of Apologizing for our Families.

The American Academy of Wound Management is a voluntary, not-for-profit organization established for the purpose of credentialing inter-disciplinary practitioners in the field of wound management. The organization was founded by individuals with years of experience in wound care who are dedicated to helping patients who suffer from acute and chronic wounds of various etiology. The board of advisors is an interdisciplinary panel of experts in the field of wound care consisting of practitioners, academicians and researchers. The American Academy of Wound Management is a full voting member of the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA).
The purpose of the American Academy of Wound Management is to establish and administer a certification process to elevate the standard of care across the continuum of wound management. The Academy is dedicated to an interdisciplinary approach in promoting prevention, care and treatment of acute and chronic wounds.
1. Who is eligible to take the CWS examination?
AAWM has various criteria that we use to determine who is eligible for the examination. The handbook, which is available online or can be mailed to you, clearly states our criteria. Any licensed healthcare professional with a Doctoral or Master's degree must have two (2) or more years of wound care experience. Any licensed healthcare professional with a Bachelors, Associates, Certificate, or Diploma, must have five (5) or more years of wound care experience. This is documented through your three letters of reference, resume, and application.
2. How much is the first-time exam fee? How much is the re-test fee?
The first-time exam fee is $400.00 mailed directly to AAWM before your exam date.
The re-test fee is $200.00 mailed directly to AAWM before your exam date.
3. Does AAWM offer courses to help me prepare for the exam?
At this time, the CWS® examination is a self-preparation exam. We offer an outline of the exam in our Candidate Handbook. The College of Certified Wound Specialists™, an organization that was formed in January 2005 and works in conjunction with the AAWM, will be endorsing wound care courses beginning in 2006. Candidates may take these courses to help prepare them for the CWS® exam. You may visit The College's website at www.theccws.org for more information.
4. Where do I send my transcript?
Sealed and mailed from the school / university of your highest level of education directly to AAWM. You cannot fax it and it cannot be mailed from a candidate. If your school no longer exists, you will need to send all copies of any licenses, certifications, diploma, or any proof that you attended the school, directly to AAWM.
5. What if I graduated from a university in another country?
A) Do you still need my transcripts forwarded directly to the AAWM?
B) I do not have a sealed official copy of my transcript or access to one.
If you have additional paper work proving your education, for example from the ECFMG, then those materials will suffice in place of your transcript. We can also verify your license ($35.00 fee) if you are unable to provide the AAWM with your transcript.
6. Can individuals outside of the United States sit for the Board Certification Examination?
At this time, we offer the exam to any health professional licensed in the United States and Canada who has had the required amount of wound care experience. Testing locations are only offered in the United States.
7. I would like to take the examination, but cannot due to non-religious personal reasons. Can I change the date that I plan on taking the exam?
Yes. Please send us written notification and the reason you need to change the date. A fee of $75.00 applies.
8. How will I know the exact location and time of the exam site?
You will be notified by mail approximately two weeks prior to your exam date, by the Professional Testing Corporation, the exact location and time of your exam. Where are the testing centers? There are approximately 30 testing center locations nationwide and they are listed in the Candidate Handbook and on our website under Board Certification.
9. What is the passing score/percentage for the exam?
To receive a passing score, you must have at least 140/200 questions answered correctly. The average passing rate for the exam is 60% (since 1999).
10. When do I receive my exam scores?
You will receive your exam scores via mail four to six weeks after your examination date, directly from the Professional Testing Center. Please do not call AAWM to find out your score. If you have not received your score within six weeks.
11. May I have my test hand-scored?
Yes, you may request to AAWM in writing (fax, e-mail, or mail) to have your test hand-scored if you think there is a possibility your scores are incorrect. We will forward your request on to PTC and they will mail you their results.
12. Do I receive a certificate and ID card after passing the CWS® examination?
Yes, upon passing the exam, you will receive your complimentary certificate in the mail about three months after your examination date. You must return your address/credentials verification form to the AAWM before receiving your certificate. You will also receive an ID card and lapel pin about six weeks after your examination date. We will mail you a replacement ID card if you misplace it. You may order extra certificates for $25.00 each.
13. How is this certification useful to me as a healthcare professional?
As a healthcare professional, the CWS® credential can allow you to obtain promotions, pay raises, greater job opportunities, and personal pride. Please contact the AAWM is you wish to be sent an advocacy letter or if you wish to have one sent to your employer.
14. When do I re-register?
Re-registrations are mailed in January for those who have been certified from January-June. They are mailed in July for those who have been certified from July-December. The re-registration fee is $150.00 annually.
How many Continuing Education hours do I need each year to remain certified? Minimum of six (6) hours of CEUs are required each year to stay certified. This information should be mailed in with your re-registration form each year. Your CEUs must be completed between the date of your last re-registration payment and the date of your current re-registration form.
15. My certification has lapsed without my knowledge, and I have received a letter stating that I have been revoked.
A) Why wasn't I notified by e-mail or phone?
B) I did not receive any notices prior to this.
C) I wish to keep the CWS®, credential.
D) Is there anything I can do to keep my certification, and do I have to retake the Board Certification Exam?
You should have received three notices and a warning letter by mail previous to the "Revocation Letter." Please contact the AAWM to check and see if we have your correct address. Please contact the AAWM to request your "re-instatement," however, you must provide your CEU information and send the AAWM your yearly re-registration payment of $150.00.
16. I have recently changed addresses, but am not sure which address you have. Can I change this information online, or should I contact the AAWM?
You may update your address with us via e-mail or by calling the office.
17. I am trying to choose a wound care education seminar/conference to attend to brush up on my wound care knowledge and obtain continuing education credits. Which ones are the best?
Please refer to the AAWM website under "Meetings and Seminars" for a list of current conferences taking place regionally and nationally. Note: The AAWM does not endorse any meetings or seminars listed.
18. As a CWS®, will I receive any complimentary subscriptions to wound care journals or magazines?
Yes, all CWSs receive a complimentary subscription to Advances in Skin and Wound Care. All CWSs receive the AAWM Quarterly News via e-mail as well. The Newsletter is also posted on the website.
19. Do you have a list of CWSs in ____ city or ______ state?
Please visit the website (www.aawm.org) and click on "Certified Wound Specialists" and search for CWSs in a particular area of the country. You may request a National Registry Book from AAWM for free if you are currently a CWS®. If you are not certified, then you may purchase the book from AAWM for $75.00.
20. I have some questions I would like to submit to be considered for use in future examinations. How would I go about sending these in?
Please submit your exam questions to the AAWM office via mail, fax or e-mail with your full name and address and the questions will be forwarded to the Exam Committee for review.
21. Do you have a mailing list?
Yes, we offer a mailing list of our current Diplomates. The mailing list fee is $100 for CWSs and $1,500 for non-CWSs. The list is available in hard-copy mailing labels only.
22. I would like to be on the Exam Committee, but it always seems like it is full. How can I participate in this committee?
Please call the AAWM office to request a position on the Exam Committee and we will notify you when a position opens.
23. Can the AAWM answer questions about a specific course of treatment or wound care product?
At this time the AAWM is strictly a certify organization only and cannot answer these types of questions.
24. When do I re-certify?
Each CWS® will recertify 10 years after their certification date. The first group of CWSs will re-certify in January 2006. The re-certification process requires you to complete a self-assessment examination. The re-certification fee is $400.00. Diplomates may use whatever materials and resources desired (books, journals, internet, colleagues, etc.), but they must achieve a passing score on the assessment (approximately 80%). If Diplomates do not successfully pass the self-assessment, they must then register and pay to take the next regularly scheduled written examination. Failure of this examination will result in revocation of their CWS® certification. The testing agency, Professional Testing Corporation, will forward the self-assessment examination to you within two weeks of receiving your recertification application. Re-certification applicants will have up to 90 days after they receive the exam to return it to PTC. It would be to your advantage to complete the self-assessment as soon as it is convenient so as not to inadvertently miss the deadline.

4. Assessment of financial circumstances
While the initial consideration for the assessment of a fine is the offender's relevant weekly income, the court is required to take account of the offender's financial circumstances including assets more broadly. Guidance on important parts of this assessment is set out below.
An offender's financial circumstances may have the effect of increasing or reducing the amount of the fine; however, they are not relevant to the assessment of offence seriousness. They should be considered separately from the selection of the appropriate fine band and the court's assessment of the position of the offence within the range for that band.
Out of the ordinary expenses
In deciding the proportions of relevant weekly income that are the starting points and ranges for each fine band, account has been taken of reasonable living expenses. Accordingly, no further allowance should normally be made for these. In addition, no allowance should normally be made where the offender has dependants.
Outgoings will be relevant to the amount of the fine only where the expenditure is out of the ordinary and substantially reduces the ability to pay a financial penalty so that the requirement to pay a fine based on the standard approach would lead to undue hardship.
Unusually low outgoings
Where the offender's living expenses are substantially lower than would normally be expected, it may be appropriate to adjust the amount of the fine to reflect this. This may apply, for example, where an offender does not make any financial contribution towards his or her living costs.
Where an offender has savings these will not normally be relevant to the assessment of the amount of a fine although they may influence the decision on time to pay.
However, where an offender has little or no income but has substantial savings, the court may consider it appropriate to adjust the amount of the fine to reflect this.
Household has more than one source of income
Where the household of which the offender is a part has more than one source of income, the fine should normally be based on the income of the offender alone.
However, where the offender's part of the income is very small (or the offender is wholly dependent on the income of another), the court may have regard to the extent of the household's income and assets which will be available to meet any fine imposed on the offender (R v Engen [2004] EWCA Crim 1536 (CA)).
Potential earning capacity
Where there is reason to believe that an offender's potential earning capacity is greater than his or her current income, the court may wish to adjust the amount of the fine to reflect this (R v Little (unreported) 14 April 1976 (CA)). This may apply, for example, where an unemployed offender states an expectation to gain paid employment within a short time. The basis for the calculation of fine should be recorded in order to ensure that there is a clear record for use in variation or enforcement proceedings.
High income offenders
Where the offender is in receipt of very high income, a fine based on a proportion of relevant weekly income may be disproportionately high when compared with the seriousness of the offence. In such cases, the court should adjust the fine to an appropriate level; as a general indication, in most cases the fine for a first time offender pleading not guilty should not exceed 75 per cent of the maximum fine. In the case of fines which are unlimited the court should decide the appropriate level with the guidance of the legal adviser.

Volkswagen is launching a compact sedan model,Ameo, in Indian market. Competition is going to be tough as this segment is already filled with Honda Amaze,Ford Figo Aspire,Tata Zest and Hyundai Xcent. It is not going to be a cakewalk for Ameo to carve a niche in the compact sedan segment that is already crowded with various models of almost all major car companies.
Volkswagen will foray with Petrol version. Diesel version will be launched later after sensing the mood of the market.
The model will be completely manufactured at Volkswagen plant in Chakan, Maharashtra.
Major features of the Ameo is
1.2-litre MPI petrol engine
74 bhp for Petrol engine and 88.7 bhp for Diesel engine.
The car is designed on PQ24 platform that is being used in Polo and Vento.
The company has announced that the cars will be made available for the buyers in between the months of July and August.
Volkswagen has opened bookings for its compact sedan Ameo on Thursday at Rs 10,000. In the backdrop of emission scandal worldwide it is going to be a tough job for Ameo to win the confidence of the buyers.

I suppose it's been 2 months since I swatched the Isetan Exclusives Lunasol Feathery Smoky Eyes (EX01, and Full Glamour Lips EX08, will review both later). So two weeks ago when a reader asked if I'd gone back to see the regular lineup again, I was ready to give the collection a second chance.
Did I change my mind about this collection? Sadly, NO :(
Did I change my mind about this collection? Sadly, NO :(
***Screencaps from Lunasol JP.
Color-wise, palettes 01 and 02 are bland and yawn-worthy, with 03 and 04 slightly more interesting. Upon a closer look, the "feathery" nuance trio pan (bottom right) actually had a satiny finish and wasn't matte. Though this was in direct indoor lighting, so they could still appear a soft matte in natural light. Either way I'm not so thrilled--the satin finish turned the eyeshadows ashy on the back of my hand.
Texture-wise, it goes from hardest to softest clockwise starting at top left. This means the sparkling top wash is the hardest, then the base/highlighter (top right), then the feathery nuance (bottom right), with the deepest trio shades being the softest. This takes me aback, because Lunasol has done some exceptionally soft and pigmented sparkles, like Geminate Eyes for example.
Other than the deepest trio pan that's well pigmented (swatched once), the other three pans were painfully, embarrassingly sheer (swatched very heavily and layered multiple times).
- 01 Smoky Beige: a champagne and beige palette. Even after some serious digging with my fingertips, I could barely get the sparkling top wash and the feathery nuance shades to show up at all.
- 02 Smoky Monotone: off white and gray palette. Again, the sparkling top wash and the feather nuance trio are the least pigmented pans.
- 03 Smoky Charcoal: a pinky taupe palette that I thought was pretty, but other than the deepest trio, the other 3 pans were the least pigmented in the entire lineup! It was so bad even the base/highlighter (top right) wouldn't show! Urgh.
- 04 Smoky Violet: I think most people are excited about this grayish purple palette, myself included. I also struggled just to swatch them on the back of my hand. It wasn't as bad as 03 above, but I still left severely disappointed.
In conclusion, I'm so, so, so happy I got the Isetan Exclusives because they're gorgeous and with excellent pigmentation, but I'm sorry say the regular lineup is a total dud for me.

To help us visualize just how awesome an improved Fell Street could be for everyone in the City, I wanted to post a couple of short Streetfilms to help us see that San Francisco's problems of malignant street design are not unique to Baghdad-by-the-Bay, and that solutions are readily available.
The first StreetFilm details a 8th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn (NYC) — it's a one-way very much like Fell Street. It's residential, potentially beautiful, but has a highway driving through it.
Some of the observations made about this particular one-way street, and one-way streets in general, are:
"You've basically got vehicles treating it like a highway. Look how fast this guy is going — that's what people do on this street."
"One-way streets…just are not as conducive to neighborhood life (as two-way streets)."
"You've got hundreds of cities and towns all across the US right now that are taking their old 1950s-era one-way multi-lane highways and they're turning them back into two-way streets, because two-way streets, people generally feel, are more conducive to neighborhood life."
"This, to me, is not a neighborhood street — it's loud."
These quotes describe Fell Street to a 'T'.
Noise levels along the avenue they're measuring are about 80 Db — about as loud as a vacuum cleaner. I hate vacuum cleaners. When someone turns on a vacuum cleaner in my presence, I want to go all Animal House on it. We know noise pollution is damaging to our health, and it is just generally unpleasant. We don't deserve to be treated like this. We have to increase our ability to be able to walk and ride up and down Fell Street and carry on a simple conversation without having to yell above the din of traffic.
And as we dive deeper into the abyss of negative externalities from auto-only streetscape design, we occasionally stumble upon some new or not-yet-highly-publicized horror. Here's an example from Toronto — 'Audible' traffic signals no match for din of traffic:
The sound of chirping is music to Mary Lorefice's ears – if only she could hear it.
One of the major advances in traffic technology is the audible pedestrian crossing signal, which allows visually impaired persons who can't see the lights to get their cue.
Hundreds of intersections across Toronto are equipped with audible signals, including Ellesmere and Brimley Rds., where four lanes of traffic roar by in each direction, making them an absolute necessity.
Lorefice, who is blind and lives in an apartment building at Ellesmere and Brimley, emailed to say that for several weeks, she hasn't been able to hear the audible signals, leaving her to guess at when to cross, based on traffic noise.
"The chirp to indicate I can cross is not loud enough to be heard over the noisy vehicles," said Lorefice. "As a blind person, I've come to depend on these signals to cross the intersection safely."
Like an onion, after we unravel each layer of malignant streetscape design, there's a new horror that is exposed. Each new freedom we achieve is only relative — we will continue to push to be ever-more-free from the shackles of motordom, and all of life's social ills. Behind every desire, is another one, waiting to be liberated, when the first one's sated.
The article cited in the Streetfilm, Many cities changing one-way streets back, is from the noted left-wing, socialist-utopian publication, USA Today.
Our next StreetFilm shows how to increase safety and accessibility along a stretch of road that is flanked by a park — in this case Prospect Park in Brooklyn — in our case, The Panhandle:
The panhandle's multi-use path is too crowded with all manner of soft traffic moving at different speeds — it's dangerous, as most everyone seems willing to admit. We're starting now to hear more rumblings for a viable solution. We don't want to drop any more pavement in the park — instead, we're going to re-apportion the existing Fell Street roadway just like the StreetFilm above shows — move the car parking out to protect cyclists, and provide us a two-way cycletrack. Really, we should not tolerate anything less than a full-on two-way street for all vehicles, including motor vehicles, and with full-on cycletracks, but it's possible we could compromise down to a bi-directional cycletrack. Any road with more than a single lane of automobile traffic moving in one direction (that is, two or more adjacent auto traffic lanes moving in the same direction) creates many of the same negative effects of a typical one-way street — it is for this reason that we should not tolerate them. We may not get there immediately, but that's the end goal.
One of the most sober and convincing articles on converting our streets back to friendly two-ways is this Governing Magazine article. If you haven't read it yet, it's well worth your time.

No blueberry pancakes for you
Posted by chris on Jan 9th, 2009
Stay away. Only I may eat these pancakes. Because I was sick when I cooked them.
Quick tip
It's a good idea to drop blueberries onto the batter once it's on your pan/griddle, rather than mix them in with all your other ingredients. Otherwise, you end up with grey-ish blue streaks through your pancakes and everyone will hate you.
