The Trailer Is Live!
I've just had my back ironed. Why? Well it was the only way to get rid of the goosebumps after watching the brand new Doctor Who Series 7 trailer!
If you we to head to the BBC's Official Doctor Who website right now, you too can watch in awe, knowing that shortly your entire body will change shape in that Meglos-esque manner that affects us all when we fall completely in love with something in a matter of seconds.
Alternatively, enjoy it here:
You'll also find the jaw-dropping image above, something that looks about as iconic as things can get with Doctor Who.
Thinking about it though, why are you still reading this? Go and watch the trailer!
3 Responses to The Trailer Is Live!
That image right there is simply my most favorite Doctor Who picture of all time already. Amazing stuff. Who do I have to give money to for a huge poster of it to go on my wall? Already using it as my PS3′s background image.
Trailer is great too. I love Moffat/Smith Who.
I love that image as well! The trailer has me really stoked. That little eyebrow raise that Amy gives when she say "Geronimo" is one of the sexiest things I've ever seen on Doctor Who!

DELAWARE - According to a 2009 GLSEN National Climate Survey, LGBTQ students are three to four times more likely to attempt suicide and seven times more likely to experience verbal and physical violence – which is why the state of Delaware is asking teachers to take a free, interactive online training program that provides techniques to address the issue.
It's called Kognito Step In, Speak Up Anti-bullying Training. The program first introduces you to three teenagers who help you understand the challenges that LGBTQ students face. It then walks you through a real-life bullying situation in a classroom setting and helps you practice intervening.
Then you'll have a one-on-one conversation with a student who's being picked on and you'll learn some support strategies. Intervention is key - research shows that when adults respond quickly and consistently, it can stop bullying over time and possibly safe a life.
Although this training program targets educators in Delaware, state officials say anyone who works with children in any capacity is more than welcome to participate.

The foundation for much of the U.S. social, health and employment benefit system was created in 1935 with the passage of the Social Security Act (SSA). The SSA authorized a national social insurance program for retired workers, established joint federal-state unemployment insurance programs, and created a modest program of cash assistance for lone mothers to be financed jointly by the federal and state governments. Soon after passage the SSA was amended to cover some initially excluded occupations and to extend benefits to the survivors of covered workers. Coverage for permanently disabled workers was added in 1956. In the 1960s lawmakers created the federal Medicare program for Social Security recipients and the federal-state Medicaid program for families receiving public assistance.
For over seventy years, the SSA has provided the foundation for incremental expansion of national social insurance programs. These programs were aimed primarily at previously employed adults unable to work due to age or disability, and they have greatly improved the economic security of these adults and their dependents.
The original provisions of SSA did much less to protect working-age adults and their children. Over the years, federal, state and local governments have addressed this and other gaps in the initial SSA provisions by developing a large and largely uncoordinated array of programs targeted on specific populations and needs – from health and nutritional assistance for low-income pregnant women to public and publicly subsidized housing, means-tested child care subsidies, public preschool services, specialized social and mental health services, employment preparation and vocational training programs, and many more. Less visibly, federal and state lawmakers have used specialized tax deductions and credits to create incentives for employer-provided benefits, to subsidize individual expenditures for home mortgages, retirement and college savings, and other expenses, and to provide refundable tax credits for low income workers. The original programs of the SSA have also been pressed to respond to other service needs. The means-tested Medicaid health insurance program, for example, is now the primary public funder for long-term care for the elderly and disabled. Medicaid dollars are also used in many states to provide therapeutic, rehabilitative and personal assistance services for mentally ill and disabled individuals. The SSA authorized public assistance program (TANF) is used to provide child care subsidies and job preparation services and the same title of the Act funds state child welfare, foster care and adoption services.
Over the past 70 years, U.S. social benefits and employment supports have been built, piecemeal, over, on and around the foundation of the SSA – a foundation that did little to address the needs of working age individuals and that reflected depression-era social, economic and population characteristics. Even a brief comparison of these conditions to 21st century realities suggests how much has changed over time and how much these change matter for contemporary social benefit and employment policies. When the SSA was passed in 1935…..families functioned as an economic and home production unit in which a male breadwinner earned a 'family wage' sufficient to support himself and dependents and a female homemaker provided full-time, uncompensated carework in the home.
The organization of work and family life has changed dramatically in the last 70 years. The large majority of all women, including those with children, are now employed and far fewer adults – male or female – earn enough to provide the sole support for a family. As women have entered employment, total annual working hours at the household level have grown steadily. Americans work longer hours annually than their counterparts in any of the OECD countries and the care of dependent family members is increasingly 'outsourced' to child care, afterschool care and nursing home arrangements. For additional information on:
Most nuclear families remained together and were able to pool income and share caregiving labor across the lifecycle. Patterns of family formation have also changed substantially over the decades. About half of all new marriages now end in divorce and over thirty percent of all births are now to unmarried women, greatly increasing economic risk for the one-half of children born today who can expect to spend at least part of their childhood with a single parent. Remarriage and cohabitation are more common than they were 70 years ago, creating new and more complex living, parenting and economic arrangements. Young adults spend more years preparing for their careers, and marry and have children at much later ages, increasing the economic demands on many parents. With longer life expectancies and higher incomes, older adults are also more likely to live apart from their families, providing less caregiving labor within the family and often receiving less as they age. For additional information on:
An expanding economy promised to absorb new workers with the returns from increasing prosperity shared proportionately across all income levels. The Social Security Act, passed at the height of the Great Depression, was premised on the expectation that economic recovery would bring widely shared economic benefits. The belief that a rising tide of economic prosperity would "lift all boats" was largely confirmed for many decades, as the U.S. economy grew steadily and, outside short periods of recession, per capita GDP increased and poverty and income inequality deceased. But the equalizing and poverty-reducing effects of economic growth ground nearly to a halt in the 1970s. For the past thirty years, the U.S. economy has continued to grow in both absolute and per capita terms but the benefits have been increasingly concentrated among those in the highest income brackets. Income and wealth inequality has increased and poverty rates have remained nearly constant as inflation adjusted earnings have stagnated and declined for less skilled male workers and have grown only modestly for women, due largely to increases in their hours of employment. For additional information on:
Individuals expected to have stable and continuous employment throughout their working years. The original SSA programs were designed to provide insurance against the common lifecycle risks to earnings – including old age, disability and widowhood – for adults who were otherwise stably employed, usually in a single occupation and often with a single employer throughout their working years. The economy of the 21st century provides new opportunities and creates forms of risk that would have been impossible to foresee 70 years ago. Alongside historically high employment rates, voluntary and involuntary employment transitions have grown in recent decades and family incomes have become increasingly volatile. The share of all workers covered by collective bargaining or civil service arrangements has fallen and the share of all workers in nontraditional job arrangements – including contingent and temporary positions -- has grown, increasing the likelihood of employment and earnings disruptions.

Seeker-Sense? Or Nonsense?
- Thursday, February 09, 2006
"The desire to be overly seeker-sensitive is pulling us away from proclaiming the hard truth of the Gospel. The Gospel is an offense! A righteous man was nailed to a cross. There was a beating involved, and blood shed. We must not water that down. We cannot compromise the reality of the Gospel under the guise of relevancy. Relevancy is earned when churches -- Christians -- acting as the hands of Christ, touch the wounded hearts and souls of those around them. When Christians act like Jesus, bear the burdens of others like Jesus, suffer with others like Jesus, then we will be more effective in verbally sharing the pointed truths of the Gospel with them like Jesus. What's more, the lost will drink in the message like a thirsty man wandering in a desert drinks in cool, clean water."
Why then, are many of our churches numbers-driven? Numerous friends in vocational ministry have spoken to me of their frustration. Those under their spiritual charge need discipleship, but they lack the time to provide it well since they are under pressure to provide proper programming - events and outreaches that will boost their numbers.
To some extent, there exists a suspicion and jealousy over the Megachurch model, where the prevailing sentiments say that all large churches do is entertain to evangelize, rather than training their members to go into the community and do it for themselves. But new research from the Hartford Institute for Religion Research suggests that most opinions of megachurches aren't accurate - that members there get fed, that true worship does occur, that it isn't all about money and/or numbers. So growth isn't necessarily an evil to be avoided. And even if misguided, can't youth programs that offer video games but keep kids busy in a safe environment still be beneficial? Don't we care that preaching only meat will alienate visitors whose level of biblical literacy hasn't advanced beyond formula?
John MacArthur recently decried the seeker-sensitive movement as: "The push within churches across the country to make worship services more "relevant" and therefore more attractive to the world. It's the driving force behind the marketing ploys and high-tech entertainment gimmicks churches use to promote growth. As you read this, you may be asking, 'What's so dangerous about trying to attract unbelievers to your church?'" And in fact, one respondent named Tina said:
"I was raised in church; we just never stayed in the same church for more than a couple of years before moving onto a new church, and usually one with a new denomination. Because of this some of the lessons were familiar to me, but some of them were not. It was like going to a foreign language class where everyone was a year ahead of me… I have friends that have said they quit going to church because they felt so stupid in Sunday School…"
Imagine how unbelievers may feel. Another reader admits there at least needs to be some balance:
"Teachers come here from China to upgrade their methods and we have arranged classes to introduce them to the Bible. You have to dumb it down a little when they ask, "What is this word 'Resurrection?' We've never heard that word." If you don't stop and clarify this they'll leave. But those who know will leave too if you spend too much time on the basics."

Le Havre
It may be present day, but it seems like you're watching a town (and film) from 1963. In fact, if a cell phone didn't pop up, I would've thought it was the early '60s.
In the French harbor city of Le Havre, an African refugee (played wonderfully by Blondin Miguel) finds help in an unlikely person – an older, former bohemian writer (Andre Wilms) that now shines shoes and bugs local merchants for free food and drink.
An officer comes sniffing around the docks, and then the small, tight-knit community, looking for the kid. I couldn't really figure out why he alternated between wanting to help Wilms and wanting to catch him.
I'm not familiar with the other films Aki Kaurismaki has written, directed, and produced. I do know he used his dog Laika in this, and a singer named Little Bob that is probably famous in other countries (both played themselves in the movie).
The problem with this unlikely friendship is that it's just a dull affair. To put that into perspective, with the 18 people in the theatre watching it with me Sunday, one guy seven rows back was continually heard snoring. That got bigger laughs than anything in the movie. That doesn't mean it didn't have a few cute jokes that worked, or that the fairy tale story didn't occasionally pull at your heart strings. It did.
The plot thickened when the the wife of Wilms goes to the hospital, in what seems like a terminal illness. It's interesting to see a man who needed his wife to do everything, stepping up when it comes to taking care of this refugee.
I thought there were so many squandered opportunities.
When local, colorful characters are having various conversations in the bar, why not make them interesting?
During a benefit concert, or a scene with the town sticking together to help the boy…I saw potential in what this movie could've been.
Filmmaker Kaurismaki is a former movie critic. I'm guessing he'll be happy with the reviews other critics are giving this (it's getting an unbelievably high 98% on Rotten Tomatoes).
The entire simplistic message just wasn't enough for me to say I left the theatre glad I saw it. If you want to lift your spirits this holiday season, this would probably fit the bill. Just make sure you catch it soon. It's only playing at the Ken Cinema on Adams Avenue for a week.
I would suggest you rent a movie with a similar theme – The Visitor. It's a wonderful film from a few years ago (which got an Oscar nomination for character actor Richard Jenkins).
It's a shame this movie couldn't be as good as the movie poster, which I loved (created by Italian comic book artist Manuele Fior).
I'm giving it 2 out of 5 stars.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The teachers are great with my children, though the principal has it out for my son... She's constantly calling me telling me that he's a bad kid and and actually yells at me..ect. Also the bus driver uses inapropriate language and even punches the bus. Thought the school does nothing about it. Very unsatisfied overall..
I love the family atmosphere of the staff and teachers! We are very pleased at the quality of education our children are receiving. The teachers are very willing to learn the newest, best practices for teaching our kids!
Westside elementary is a great school, but it is becoming overcrowded very quickly. Development in the area has caused significant increase to the number of students. There is not a lot of cross involvement with grades. Classrooms for each grade interact. Parents are seen volunteering on a regular basis. There is advanced placement available and also remedial classes available. Music, art, library and phy ed are skills that are taught on a very regular basis; at least once a week. Overall the teachers are very kind and considerate. The principal is very involved and it makes for a good learning environment.

BLOOMINGDALE TOWNSHIP (WKZO) -- A Van Buren County woman is recovering from multiple injuries after her car was hit by a van that failed to yield the right of way at a Van Buren County intersection.
Deputies say that 34-year-old Elizabeth Billings of Bloomingdale was approaching County Road 655 on 24th Avenue with her two children strapped into the back seat, when she ran thru the stop sign and plowed into the Mercury Sable driven by 56-year old Debra Fowler of Bangor.
Fowler had to be pried out of the wreck with the Jaws of Life.
Billings was cited. Fowler was hospitalized with a leg injury and complaining of back and n

By Pavel from USA on 2012-06-15 20:39:36Things I liked:Accurate.
Things I would have changed:Stock and trigger.
What others should know:I have shot about 2500 rounds through this rifle and I can tell this rifle is very accurate. I can make less then 1" groups 25 yards away in standing position with open sights. Artillery hold is best for this rifle, but I wouldn't say that it is too hold sensitive. Tried several pellets and I think crosman prem hp are very good. Think that domed pellets would be also good (maybe best). It is not too heavy and not too long. Feels very good. Things I would change are trigger and stock. Trigger is not bad when adjusted, but still heavy to pull, but I do not have problems with it. I would change it for better accuracy. Stock looks very nice but made of plastic, but it feels much better because it has rubber pads on the sides for the left and right hands. First couple hundred rounds it was a little louder then I expected, but sounds ok now. When I took it apart everything inside was dry. Had to "oil" it. Nevertheless I think it is very good rifle.

By SAM from USA on 2013-06-20 11:39:15Things I liked:Price. Looks. Very nice looking rifle. Seemed like I was getting twice what I was paying for. I didn't. Seemed too good to be true. It was. True is the last word I would use in describing this gun.
Things I would have changed:Accuracy. Set up targets at 18 yards. Could not hold a 4" pattern. Talked to tech support. Was told to oil to flush out Turkish grease and shoot a lot to "break-in". Did both. I would have just as good a chance of throwing the gun at the target. My Ruger Mark I 22 pistol holds a 1" group at 18 yards.
What others should know:This gun does not shoot as good as a Chinese Crossman pump pellet gun, but it does look nice.

What are your PR's?? You're so fab👌
thanks! they're nothing super impressive but i'm proud of them because i had to work hard to run these times!
5 miles - 37:00
5000 - 22:30
3200 - 12:44
1600 - 6:00
800 - 2:44
These were all around two years ago! I was injured and still am not back to where I was before :( someday…
Hey I'm along distance track/ cross country runner and I recently tore my MCL band so I'm out for about two months -_- is there any exercises, like different ab, upper body, etc... That you have noticed that are more effective than others? I want to build up my upper body (something we distance people don't usually work out) so when I get back into the routine have more muscle up there to help me out? I still workout at the track with them so I don't really have access to weights there. Thanks!
Sorry to hear about your injury! I hope it heals quickly. To answer your question, here are my favorites:
For abs:
Double leg lifts, planks, flutters, double crunches
For obliques:
Side planks, russian twists, candlestick dippers
For back:
Supermans! Actually the Blogilates "Back Attack" video on Youtube
Pushups, cobra pushups, tricep dips
Also, if you want to do weights, you could ask your coach if you can go into the weights room (if your school has one) while everyone else is running or you could ask if you can skip practice while you're injured to do weights and focus on getting stronger.
Hope this helps!
Do you run track?
Yes! I've been running track for six years now! I started with the 400 and the 800 and then I switched to the 800 and the 1600. For a year I just did the 3200 but now I'm back to the 1600 and the 800.
I have a foot injury and it hurts to wear shoes, so basically no running for me. I'm worried that I'm going to lose my endurance while waiting for my recovery. How much does performance decrease after a break on average?
It depends on the length of the break. If I take two weeks off, after I've been back for a run or two I feel fine, even better than I did before because I got good rest during those two weeks and felt fresh coming back. After a month or more off, I definitely lose endurance. I had to take five or six months off last year for an injury and I definitely lost endurance, plus I gained weight so I still am not where I was before the injury, a year after returning to running.
However, I know some people who feel like they've lost endurance after only a week or two off but I think part of that is probably mental, like they think they'll lose endurance from taking that time off so then while running they want to stop.
I'm sorry about your injury and I hope it heals quickly!
Hope this helps!
Fellow Texan! :D I run, I'm 15 yrs old, 5'8, 135 or 140 lbs. Natural runner's body, but I eat like a boy. I run to gain muscle, not to lose weight, & also exercise on a daily bases. Wondering if I should change my eating habits? Like I said, I don't run to lose weight, so I didn't think I needed to be on a special runner's diet. Will it effect my preformance if I run 3 miles then eat a whole pizza? Also starting vball this year. Never played before. Don't know if junk food is acceptable.
I don't know enough about your eating habits to know if you should change them, but if you're eating enough vitamins and minerals (calcium, etc.) and whole foods and are not gaining or losing weight and you feel fine your eating habits are probably perfect for you.
About running three miles then eating a whole pizza, it depends on your metabolism and also make sure you eat fruits and vegetables.
Junk food is acceptable in moderation but not too much.
Hope this helped!

Like pretty much everyone else, I've been obsessing over my career lately.
Since I began freelance writing full-time, I've felt the financial insecurity of the arrangement. There's nothing so motivating (and terrifying) as knowing that to be paid, you have to continually create. Maybe that's why I began thinking lusty thoughts about becoming an employee again. Because going somewhere every day and putting in your eight hours … that's got to be less terrifying, right? Plus, writing All The Time can be draining.
Then I talked to Maggie Mistal, who made me realize that the fear was getting me nowhere.
Maggie is one of the country's top career coaches, frequently quoted in The New York Times, etc., etc. She has a radio show on Martha Stewart Living Radio (on SIRIUS). She's smart as a whip, but what I love most about her is that she's also a cabaret singer.
Here's how it started: After forever advising people to follow their dreams, she realized that she had to follow her own advice and do what she'd always imagined — go on stage. So she kicked off a "Follow Your Dreams" show in NYC. Between songs, she asks people to tell the audience about their own dreams. Why?
"You're 10 times as likely to achieve a goal if you share it with someone else," says Maggie. "So I'm layering in a fun, interesting ways to get people to do what they want to do."
She's actually coaching. In between cabaret songs.
And if you're tempted to dismiss Maggie as just another person who is completely not in the realm of ordinary people, who can afford to do something frivolous like sing cabaret in between interviews with The New York Times, consider this: Maggie learned the hard way twice that pinning all your hopes and dreams to an employee can lead to disappointment. She went from working for Arthur Andersen (until it was taken down by the Enron scandal) to working for Martha Stewart (also indicted).
Her advice is to stop focusing on the fear. "Focus on creating and diversifying, because that's where it gets exciting. Diversification is a way forward," she says. "You won't get so caught up in one thing that it distracts you from creating new things."
Diversification. Marci Alboher calls it having a "slash career" — being able to answer the question "What do you do?" different ways, depending on whether you're at a cocktail party, a networking event or your high school reunion. Your mom called it not putting all your eggs in one basket.
I know she's right. But I'm wondering how I'll ever find the time.

George Zimmerman has finally and officially been charged with 2nd Degree murder months after shooting and killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in a Florida suburb back in February. Angela Corey, Florida prosecutor made the announcement just hours ago at a press conference, claiming the charge was filed today. Zimmerman a selfmade neighborhood watchman, shot and killed Trayvon on Feb. 26th in Sanford, Florida, but no arrests were made at the time. Zimmerman has since states that he shot Trayvon in self-defense. Trayvon was found to only have a bag of candy, and a ice tea on him, NO WEAPONS. Followed by a united protest, Zimmerman is finally being held by the authorities, and is facing up to life in prison.
NYS Senator Eric Adams and his colleagues memorialize Trayvon Martin during the March 26, 2012 senate legislative session.
One of the heads of Jason Russell's Invisible Children organization made a disturbing video after the charity won a $1 million grant ... in which he appears to be drunk and joking about keeping $900,000 for himself.
The footage appears to be shot in 2010 ... right after Invisible Children won the $1 million grand prize in the Chase Community Giving Facebook competition.
In the video, Jenkins is holding a handle of Smirnoff vodka ... and slurs to the camera, "I don't know if you heard this or not ... but we won a ... we won a million dollars so ... pretty rad."
After chugging from the bottle, Jenkins continues ... "a hundred thousand for Haiti and $900,000 in extra for me."
Wow....Really.....So of course, I, like everyone else watched the 27 min video of Jason Russell and his crew claiming that KONY needed to be stopped....blah blah blah.... Watching the film, I'm like wow....he needs to be stopped....So I go on twitter (1) time and tweet #STOPKONY....Then a follower of mine sent me a link to a news article that explained a different story than what Jason and his crew claimed. At that point, I backed out...it was just too much he say. she say...but this video here has shown me that I made the right decision... ppl lets learn both sides of the story before donate of claim anything... -RyonDanyell
The GOP presidential candidate, 64, compared President Barack Obama to Kim Kardashian in a speech on Sunday. "I've been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama — then candidate Obama — going through Iowa [in 2008] making promises," Romney said, as excerpted by CBS News.
"The gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I've seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of 'til death do we part." (Kim, 31, filed for divorce from Kris Humphries on Oct. 31 after just
72 days of marriage.)

@TheRealOderus from GWAR took over Merrweather Post Pavilion's Twitter feed, complaining about MPP's icon, a photo of a tree. This ensued.
The National @ Merriweather Post Pavilion
Back in 1999, yours truly was working at a job doing live closed captioning. One of my colleagues, a friend named Marla, was going to caption live in person at a Chatauqua event, once which usually winds up with live entertainment. The year before it had been Bill Cosby, and boy did he play with the CC going on once he realized he was being transcribed live (sorry, Maria)!
With live closed captioning, any prep you can do beforehand is extremely helpful, as writing live is a terribly difficult task. Lyrics are easy to prep, though, if you know what song(s) would be played. Marla asked me for help in preparing, as the entertainment that year was going to be The Beach Boys. She knew I was a fan.
As I started to think on it, the task became incredibly challenging. Brian wasn't with them, so it was mostly the Mike-Bruce-Al show. But having (at the time!) over 30 years of material to draw from, what would a setlist look like? I'd never seen them play, and still haven't to this very day. How could we find out? At that time, the internet still wasn't a viable source of setlists and show reports. The idea of trying to prep a ton of songs was staggering to contemplate.
I called Capitol Records, got steered to the Beach Boys' management, explaining who I was, what we were attempting to do (caption a concert), and that — to prep — all we wanted was a current setlist. Eventually they gave me the cell number of the tour manager, and I left a message for him and forgot about it.
Several days later, reporting for work, my colleague Heather asked me, "Did you… call… THE BEACH BOYS? There's a fax for you!" The tour manager had called the office and told Heather it was coming, and if there's anything else we needed, just let him know. That's the setlist you see above, which was sent on August 23, 1999. We did prep all these songs, and it saved Marla from having to write live a significant portion of their set.
I post this today, because as I said earlier, "to this day, I still have not seen them." Which is true… until about 8pm tonight when I will be on the lawn at Merriweather Post Pavilion to experience what will likely be the last Beach Boys tour ever. It's not without trepidation; the performances so far have been a bit hit and miss, and the album is not all I'd hoped for, although it does have some peaks.
Promised myself I'd not go see the Beach Boys unless Brian was back. It seemed unlikely to ever occur, and I hadn't felt I was missing much. But since that event has come to pass, I'm going. For a boy whose first 45 was "Barbara Ann," and as a man who's had the privilege of hearing both Pet Sounds and SMiLE performed live, this is likely going to be an emotional experience. I'm looking forward to it.

Another poster from the Playmixt archive: Arcade Fire, Merriweather Post Pavilion, August 2010. Thanks very much to Bohemian Dancing for finding the image!
Definitely need to get this one framed.
Playmixt's photo counterpart, Photomixt, will be posting a series of pictures from the August 6, 2010, show at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. This show came three days after the release of The Suburbs and - conveniently enough - Columbia is basically a suburb that's nearly equidistant from both Baltimore and Washington, DC.
If you want to see more from Photomixt, here's how.

Jean M. Heimann Catholic Fire (link to full review)
I wrote my review after watching a preview of this film last month. (The preview was shown via DVD and I was sitting in the back of a room of 400 people, with a few heads occasionally blocking my view.) Now after watching in on the big screen, I feel like my original review didn't do it justice, although I rated it as an A+. I noticed so much more this time around and it was so much more tender and touching. Perhaps, I was moved so powerfully because I know from personal experience how wonderful it is (through the power of God) to save lives.

The West Virginia University Extension Service is recommending shoppers look to small businesses for both holiday purchases and beyond.
"West Virginia small businesses are open for business throughout the year," said Kelly Nix, WVU Extension Service leadership specialist. "It's important that we support them through every season and not just during the holidays."
Nix said choosing to purchase from small businesses rather than national chains puts money directly into local economies.
"Buying local goods and services directly impacts the local community and allows for economic advancement of individual businesses and eventually, the entire town," she said.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving has been branded Small Business Saturday – a day to show support for local businesses. Nix said in addition to purchasing gifts, visiting a local restaurant or selecting ingredients for meals will help drive the entire economy forward.
And while the best place to find local shops are on the "Main Street" of the small towns, online purchases also help to create a strong local business economy.
"When visitors seek out local shops and spend money on their goods and services, resident businesses gain resources from other areas of the state — or neighboring states — that grow their business, leading to increased economic development from tourism in the region," said Doug Arbogast, WVU Extension specialist for community and rural tourism.

At a Death Café people gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death. The attendees are often strangers. At the meeting the group is has a discussion of death but there is no meeting agenda, or particular objective.

(What a great idea to extend the reach of your event!!!!!!!!)
Yes, I had something to do with this organization making these videos. The simple explanation is I am a Board Member of Colorado Senior Lobby and helped with planning their signature April 2014 event, "Senior Day at the Capitol." At a Board meeting I said, "We should make a video of this event and others, and post the videos on a branded YouTube Channel and put the videos on the website." Well guess what?We all agreed and said, "Let's Do it." A lot of great volunteers made it happen – Kudos to all Board, Volunteers and Sponsors of Senior Day at The Capitol.

Relaunched in 2005, Just You is the UK's number one tour operator for those who travel alone.
The company is part of the same group as Page & Moy and Travelsphere, who themselves are the UK leader in worldwide escorted holidays. Just You prides itself on customer service and helping single travellers every step of the way.
Just You holidays are only available directly from the operator and by cutting out the High Street travel agent, the holidays offer great value for money.
Many people do worry about travelling alone for whatever reason, but Just You are the experts in making sure guests feel relaxed. Gaynor, who went on the Wonder of China tour commented: "It was my first Just You holiday and, like many others in the group, I was very nervous beforehand, but those feelings were soon dispelled as we all got to know each other. Thank you".
An amazing array of tours, city breaks and holidays for solo travellers
They say: "Just You, the single traveller specialist has had a complete revamp for 2014! This most comprehensive brochure now features destinations in the UK, Europe and worldwide and has been divided into the type of trip. There are short breaks in cities, the traditional escorted tour, more adventurous exploring tours to far corners of the globe and a selection of 'escapes' when you can relax and join optional excursions if you like. This new way of presenting the holidays offered makes it much easier to find the sort of tour you're after, so whether you fancy walking that Great Wall of China, relaxing on a boat trip in Lake Garda eating gelato or can't resist the sun-drenched beaches of Florida, it's all in here. And of course, every holidaymaker has their own room and there is no single supplement for that

ICT Standardisation
Standardisation is a voluntary cooperation for the development of technical specifications based on consensus among stakeholders. Standards play an essential role in areas such as interoperability, privacy and accessibility thereby supporting market acceptance and the efficient and effective use of ICT applications and services.
The ICT standardisation landscape has dramatically changed over the last decade or so with the rise to prominence of industry organisations (fora and consortia) some of which have become established as leading ICT standards development bodies.
In accordance with the procedure established in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 on European Standardisation, the Commission has adopted a Decision identifying six of the most relevant and most widely accepted ICT technical specifications issued by fora and consortia for referencing in public procurement.
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION on the identification of ICT technical specifications eligible for referencing in public procurement.#
Consultation of sectoral experts in the context of the identification of ICT Technical Specification UBL 2.1
To enable further interoperability between devices, applications, data repositories, services and networks, public authorities should make the best use of the full range of relevant technical specifications when procuring hardware, software and information technology services.
Article 13 of Regulation 1025/2012 on European standardisation provides the Commission with the possibility to identify ICT Technical specifications in order to be referenced in public procurement.
The European Multi-stakeholder Platform on ICT Standardisation, which includes European standardisation organisations, Member States and relevant stakeholders, has evaluated the OASIS Universal Business Language version 2.1 (UBL 2.1) ICT technical specification against the criteria set out in Annex II of Regulation 1025/2012 and has given a positive advice to its identification by the Commission (see evaluation report).
To provide the Commission with the best evidence base for its Decision, a number of relevant experts are asked to submit written comments on the questions raised in the questionnaire below.
The consultation of experts will be open from 4 July 2014 to 4 August 2014.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I sincerely hope either you or the panel was not serious about this, because I'm afraid it does not make sense at all. The notion that a risk you describe must lead to a near permanent, improved reward is irrational.
First of all, BM pets are not the most at risk. They are undeniably stronger than MM and SV pets, enjoying more hit points, more armor, temporary power boosts that put them even more ahead, and now also extra abilities. Logic and mathematics prove that it is the MM and SV pets that are most easily killed. While a lesser amount of dps depends on their pets, MM and SV most definately lose a noticable portion of dps when their pet goes down. This in no way validates any decision that allows BM hunters to output more dps than MM hunters.
Secondly, the idea that having to rely on your pet more than other builds being an excuse for allowing greater combined dps output is equally flawed. Only by willingly ignoring the tactical advantage of outnumbering your enemy can you accept that idea. For example, in PvP, while it is quite viable to practically ignore MM and SV pets in combat, doing so with BM pets is effectively hoisting the white flag. When up against a BM hunter, you have 2 worthy targets, not 1. Anyone who has played RTS games either understands this advantage, or recognizes it from experience. The risk of dividing power over 2 units already has its reward in forcing the enemy to divide their attention over multiple targets. To further reward it by increasing dps is the very definition of imbalance.
So, at the end, logic proves beyond doubt that the dps output of BM hunters should never be greater than the dps output of MM hunters under equal conditions (gear, level, skill, consumables, party and zone bonusses).

According to ABC News LeAnn Rimes is suing her dentist, claiming that poor dental work is the reason her singing career has stalled. Rimes is seeking monetary compensation for "loss of earnings and future earning capacity," as well as for the physical, emotional and psychiatric injuries she sustained over a three-year period of treatment, according to court documents. Rimes said that her "ability to perform as an artist has been and will continue to be significantly compromised until all re-treatment is complete." The lawsuit was filed February 14, Rimes alleges "negligent" treatment from her dentist, as she developed "severe tooth pain, gum inflammation and chronic gum bleeding" as a result of faulty crown placement.
The singer was forced to cancel tour dates to undergo dental surgery in October.

Knowledge Base
TreeSize Professional
All entries (Page 1 / 16)
I've noticed that the "Last Change" date is more recent than the "Last Access" date, how is that possible?
Since Windows Vista/Server 2008, Microsoft disabled the automatic update for the "Last access" date to improve system performance on NTFS formatted drives. Because of this, the date won't be updated anymore if a file content is changed for example. That is also the reason why the last access date isn't a good indicator anymore for recent usage of a file.
For more information on these topics, please refer to the following MSDN articles:
I'm using the following batch script to start TreeSize scans with
paths that are defined in a text file. TreeSize however doesn't
produce the report!
FOR /F %%p IN (Paths.txt) DO
START /WAIT "C:\Program Files\JAM Software\TreeSize
Professional\TreeSize.exe" /EXCEL "report.xls"
This is a common mistake when using the START command in batch files. The START command will interpret the first quoted string after the command as a title for the new command prompt instance. As the path to the TreeSize executable is quoted here, this will be the title for the cmd instance. Of course, the batch script won't work this way.
To be able to use quoted paths, you will have to pass a dummy title after the START command first. The following example script will work as expected:
FOR /F %%p IN (Paths.txt) DO START /WAIT "DummyTitle" "C:\Program Files\JAM Software\TreeSize Professional\TreeSize.exe" /EXCEL "report.xls" "%%p"
I did not notice when I bought the package that it was TreeSize Personal. What is the difference between the the Personal and the Professional version? Can I upgrade?
Please refer to our comparison table for further information on the differences between TreeSize Personal and Professional. You can purchase an upgrade to TreeSize Professional in your customer area.
Is it possible to scan the contents of a SharePoint Server using TreeSize?
Not directly as SharePoint doesn't persist its data on a file system but in a database instead. You can however map the file system of a SharePoint Server as a regular network drive in Windows. TreeSize can then process and analyze the data of that drive.
How to map the contents of a SharePoint Server as a network drive is explained here:
If the NTFS deduplication (available since Windows Server 2012) is enabled, TreeSize displays some strange values for the size of files and folders. A lot of files have a size of "0 Byte" while a folder called "System Volume Information" requires a huge amount of disk space. What is the reason for this?
The NTFS deduplication segments files with fractionally equal content into so-called "chunks" which are moved into a the subfolder "System Volume Informaton\Dedup\ChunkStore\" (SVI) located on the corresponding NTFS partition. After the deduplication has been applied, the original files are replaced by a pointer to the corresponding chunk in the SVI directory. Two identical files will only require half of the disk space they occupied before after a NTFS deduplication. Since the original files now only contain a small pointer, the allocated disk space will be indicated by Windows with a much smaller value than before (for two identical files the occupied disk space would be indicated as "0 Byte"). To make TreeSize show the original file and folder sizes again, simply switch the view mode from "Allocated Space" to "Size". The "allocated size" shown in TreeSize is the disk space you would obtain by deleting the corresponding file
I have just noticed that the line chart in the "History" tab of TreeSize has gone. What is the reason for this?
The line chart can only be shown if there was a scan of the same root folder performed at an earlier point in time. Furthermore, for a reasonable comparison the scans must have the same exlcude filters defined.
How can I make TreeSize to export data to Excel in the same spreadsheet (same file)?
When using Excel as export format, TreeSize will create a spreadsheet with the current timestamp and save the data into this sheet.
If the same file is selected for another export, TreeSize will create another sheet and append it to the file, so you won't lose the data from the previous export.
You can also specify a "Default Export File", so you don't need to select a file, every time you want to export the data. This can be done either in the Options of TreeSize (Tools -> Options -> Columns/Export -> Excel Export -> Default Export File") or in the corresponding export dialog (File -> Export -> Export to Excel -> "Always use this filename and add a new sheet when exporting").
When the default file was defined, you can simply go to "File -> Export -> Export to Excel" and TreeSize will add the current scan data to its own Excel sheet, using the default export file.
When exporting a scan result to Excel, everytime I export data the precedent data are replaced by the last export. How can I have multiple exports in the same Excel file?
By default, TreeSize will ask for a file name, every time an Excel report is created. If the file from a previous export is selected, the data will be overwritten.
If you would like TreeSize to create an Excel sheet for each export, you need to define a "Default Export File". This can be done either in the Options of TreeSize (Tools -> Options -> Columns/Export -> Excel Export -> Default Export File") or in the corresponding export dialog (File -> Export -> Export to Excel -> "Always use this filename and add a new sheet when exporting").
When the default file was defined, you can simply go to "File -> Export -> Export to Excel" and TreeSize will add the current scan data to its own Excel sheet, using the default export file.
Please note that this is not required when using the command line options of TreeSize. If an Excel report is created using a command line option (e.g. TreeSize.exe /EXCEL "D:\MyReport.xls" D:\), an Excel sheet will be appended if the file "MyReport.xls" already exists. Please refer to our online manual for more information about the available TreeSize command line options:
If I create a scheduled task for TreeSize, I cannot edit anything in the command line option window because it's read-only. Why is that so?
The command line options are automatically defined by TreeSize, based on your settings in the "Scheduled Task" window.
If you want to edit the command line manually, please save the current task and click on "All Tasks". In this view, please right-click the recently created task. In the context menu, click on "Edit Task in Windows". A new window will open which allows you to edit the command line options of the task manually.
If I right click a file within TreeSize, the application crashes. What is the cause for this?
This issue typically occurs if an application which extends the Windows context menu fails for some reason. In such cases, the faulting application will also crash TreeSize. Besides TreeSize, several other applications such as "WinRar" or "DropBox" extend the Windows context menu. As those applications share the same resource (the context menu) with TreeSize, an exception in one application might cause the application where the context menu is called from to fail.
Identifying the actual source of the problem is not an easy task. If the problem has occured only recently, you should check in the software list of Windows which applications have been installed recently. If one of these applications extends the Windows context menu, you should try to uninstall the application and check if the problem still persists.
For further questions or assistance please contact the TreeSize customer support under (email@example.com).
TreeSize is using the wrong date format! I even checked the Windows date settings where it is set correctly. What can I do?
In general, TreeSize uses the date settings of Windows. Due to a problem in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 it may however display the 'wrong' date format.
To fix this problem, please open the "Regional Settings" ("Clock, Language and Region") in the Window Control Panel and click "Additional Settings". In the following dialog, click "Reset". After the confirmation, close the dialog and restart TreeSize. The problem should be fixed.
We have a file server with 3 volumes, drive E:, F: and G:. If I open TSP and double-click on the F: drive and then choose the History tab I get graphical chart that goes back to 6/11/2012. If I choose a different drive, it only shows a graph for that day. No history. How did I get the 6/11 date, I didn't choose it, and how do I get historical data for the other 2 drives. I realize that SpaceObServer will do a better job of providing historical data.
For each scan that is executed on a specific folder, TreeSize automatically saves the size from that scan for the use in the "History" view. If another scan on that same folder is done, TreeSize will add the new size data and create a graphical trend for this folder. This is the reason why you might see different periods of time for different drives and/or folders.
As you mentioned, SpaceObServer is much more powerful in regards to creating reliable statistics for the increase/decrease of disk usage of your systems. SpaceObServer scans local and network drives as well as Exchange mailboxes using a background service and stores their structure, sizes and properties in an SQL database.
In an Explorer-like user interface the collected data can be viewed and browsed in hierarchical or tabular views, 3D bar, pie, line charts and tree maps. Using the archived data you are able to track the development of the space usage from past to present, and forecast future size usage.
