Viewpoints: Set higher education goals, for the good of allSunday, September 23, 2012 at 12:00 AM
Gov. Jerry Brown's recent veto of Senate Bill 721 on higher education goals brings to mind the echo of an old movie line, slightly rephrased: "Goals? We don't need no stinkin' goals!" To be fair, the governor's 2012-1...

Al Ain International Airport Hosts Oman Air's New Product
Al Ain, UAE Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) today welcomed senior government officials and trade delegations to Al Ain International Airport where Oman Air showcased one of its new Airbus A330-200, after having established its Muscat – Al Ain route in May this year.
The new two class A330-200 offers Economy and Business Class cabins. Both are fitted with brand new seats that offer more space, greater comfort, fantastic in-flight entertainment options, and the very latest in communications technology. In fact, the Business Class seat goes way beyond what many airlines offer in First Class. Oman Air's new business and economy products, configured with 20 business class seats and 196 economy class seats.
Oman Air's decision to display its new aircraft in the airport of the Garden City of the UAE is testament to the strong business partnership between the airline and ADAC, and the value it places on its new Al Ain route.
Welcoming Oman's Air flagship, Faris Al Mazrouei, General Manager, Al Ain International Airport, said: "We would like to officially welcome Oman Air's new daily service between Al-Ain and Muscat, which already has proven to be popular and beneficial to our local community. We value Oman Air's initiative to invest into this dynamic market and look forward to an even closer cooperation towards expanding services."
Barry Brown, Chief Commercial Officer Oman Air, commented: "We are glad to see that the close partnership we have with ADAC is already translating into results. We are today here to showcase our product and provide the opportunity to our customers to experience Oman Air's services from Al Ain to Muscat and beyond."
Al Ain International Airport is a smart choice for busy carriers as it allows for minimal ground time for aircrafts due to its speedy turnaround times as well as enabling it to enjoy the low congested skies of Al Ain City. On the front of recent developments, ADAC had announced last year the bourgeoning Al Ain Aerospace Cluster, which is set to attract highly specialized aerospace companies and individuals, and in tandem with the city's growing education and construction industries, it is expected to spur demand for convenient air travel.

April 2, 2003|
Cairo - South Georgia military Moms thank troops overseas. Betty Baxter, says, "I'm proud of him and I pray to GOD he comes back." The women started a support group after their son's were sent to Iraq to fight.
A row of yellow ribbons outline some Cairo homes. Even the neighborhood dogs are sporting red white and blue bows. Baxter says, "We've got three right here on one block." Baxter is not counting ribbons or bows, she's counting soldiers. She says, "My son, my neighbor's son and another neighbor's grandson, three off one block."
Baxter thinks about her son every waking moment. He's been away from home since November. She sighs, "It's been three weeks since I've heard from him." Twenty-two-year-old Robert Baxter is in the 3rd Infantry, 4th Brigade, which is closing in on Baghdad. His mom says, "Just waiting, holding hands and praying, waiting."
Baxter's neighbor, Lauralu Porter, wears a picture of her stepson 22-year-old Travis Lee Porter on her dress. It's to remind others of those who are fighting for America. She explains, "Because there's nobody over there that didn't chose that career. We need to support them just like you support a dentist or doctor or anybody else."
Her soldier is in the National Guard traveling with the 1st Marines in Iraq. The mothers have a unique bond. Baxter says, "Oh yes, every parent everybody sitting around the TV trying to see their child on TV, praying to get a glimpse."
Both soldier's turned 22 in Iraq. They don't even know each other that well, but back at home their mothers are tying a patriotic ribbon around their friendship, hoping for their special soldiers to come home safe.
Mrs. Baxter and Mrs. Porter helped start the "Soldiers Moms Support Group" in Grady County. Both women say their son's have become more mature and respectful since they joined the military.

The Mouth of Ireland's greatest river, the Shannon, is home to Ireland's only resident group of Bottlenose Dolphins. There are about 200 dolphins living in this EU Special Area of Conservation, and calves are born every year. The wildlife and scenery in this area is truly outstanding with a variety of nesting seabirds, spectacular cliffs and a fascinating maritime history.
Our purpose-built passenger boat, Draíocht ("Magic"), with your guide and wildlife enthusiast, Geoff Magee, at the helm, departs from Carrigaholt Castle Pier to take you on an unforgettable adventure. Our competent and friendly crew are on board to ensure your comfort and safety and to answer any questions you have on this fully guided trip.
Watching and learning about dolphins and their habitat is central to the experience, and there are always surprises, too. Every trip is different! You might meet a grey seal emerging from a cave, or spot a herd of wild goats on a hillside. Meanwhile you'll enjoy stunning views of Loop Head and the Kerry coast.
Located in Carrigaholt, a recommended destination point on the Wild Atlantic Way, Dolphinwatch was awarded gold by Ecotourism Ireland, and is one of the BBC Wildlife Magazine's Top Ten Attractions in Ireland.
A family business since 1992, we care about where we live, the wildlife, the environment and our passengers, who share the experience with us.
Listen to a recording of dolphin sounds made last year in the Shannon.
"One of the best wildlife experiences in the country, led by conservationists and dolphin experts Sue and Geoff Magee.They are hugely influential in marine conservation on Loop Head, and beacons of sustainable tourism in Ireland."- The Irish Times

Strengths & Weaknesses
Prospective employers are better served by knowing candidates' strengths and weaknesses. In addition to my resume, I've provided below a list of areas where I currently need development.
A person's strengths and weaknesses are often the same qualities. What's a strength is one context is a weakness in another. In that sense, the good qualities I have also work to my disadvantage in certain circumstances. Having said that, below are some areas where my strengths are limited, in no particular order.
- I have limited international work experience. Most of my career has been in the United States of America. I'm not intimately familiar with how business is conducted and projects are managed in other countries.
- However: I learn quickly; observe and take subtle cues; am respectful; take a genuine interest in other people's well-being and success; build meaningful relationships and work well with people of diverse backgrounds. I've lived and travelled abroad and have a network of personal friends and business contacts across the globe. I like to help and teach others and others like to help and teach me.
- Both at home and at work, I daily receive many more emails, phone calls and meeting requests than I could possibly even look at, let alone respond to. It is physically impossible for me to read every email that I receive. I seldom interrupt what I'm doing to try to respond to each email that I receive.
- However: I value people, relationships and in-person communications. I walk around and talk with my colleagues face to face or via video conference. People are welcome to visit me and I visit them. I also enjoy having brief, productive conversations in hallways and common areas. By not spending most of my time emailing back and forth, I'm able to focus on the really important things, be more productive and help other people be successful.
- I'm only fluent in two languages: English and Hindi.
- However: I'm learning Spanish and plan to learn Mandarin.
- I have some off-shore project management experience, but not a lot of it.
- However: In the very few off shore projects I have supervised, my teams brought successful results.
- I do not have experience in life-critical projects and industries like medical engineering, nuclear power and weapons engineering. I've worked successfully on very important projects but none where human lives were at stake.
- However: I've worked on media Web sites with 24×7 news cycles and uptime requirements even during unexpected events. I have excellent crisis management skills and a proven track record of staying calm and providing leadership in emergencies.
- I am no longer a hands-on professional computer programmer. I do write code to accomplish personal tasks on my computers and I participate in some open source development as a hobby, but I'm not a regular code author.
- However: I'm a professional people manager who helps develop environments where professional software engineers write great code and be happy.
- I don't consider this one a weakness, but some people may: I am unwilling and unable to "do anything and everything it takes" to get desired business results. If something is immoral and unethical, I will not do it nor be party to it. (I believe that we must support our friends, even in their mistakes, but it should be clear it is the friend and not the mistake we are supporting.)
- However: I will go above and beyond in doing things that are moral and ethical.
For a list of my strengths, please view my resume and recommendations.

I loved basically every second of Obama's victory speech, but one of my absolute favorite moments was when 11-year-old Sasha tugged at her father's sleeve and whispered in his ear, reminding him to turn around and wave at the people behind him (who, of course, responded by cheering even louder).
It was sweet and cute and poignant, but it was so much more, really. Because in that brief exchange, President Obama and Sasha showed the world precisely what a healthy father/daughter relationship looks like: A mutual admiration society with a strong foundation in respect.
The fact that Sasha noticed the crowd was in need of some presidential attention and gave her dad a nudge -- in front of millions of people -- tells us that she's a thoughtful, caring girl who has been raised to feel like what she has to say is worthwhile. Like her opinion matters. The fact that President Obama took his 11-year-old daughter's advice without hesitation tells us that he has never, ever made his children feel small or unimportant as people. Which leads me to another one of my absolute favorite moments from the speech -- when Presdient Obama spoke these words:
"Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes, you're growing up to become two strong, smart, beautiful young women, just like your mom ... and I am so proud of you guys."
Awww. ICYMI, check out Sasha's helpful hint in this clip:
Now tell me ...
Do you think Sasha Obama and her dad have a great relationship?

billsfan is just bitter.
I think it was a very sweet moment. Not all daughters have that kind of relationships with their dads.

Every father has his "problem child." Adam had Cain, Laius had Oedipus and George Bush had George W. Now, I know you're saying to yourself, "yes, but who was Father time's problem child?"
The answer? Obviously the 21 century. The reason? Even obviouser, the marginalization of the stripper industry by internet pornography.
Because I know what it's like to have disappointing children, I've taken it upon myself to right this wrong. No longer can this injustice unjustly stand. Look out internet porn. I'm about to fight razzle with dazzle.
Introducing Dazzle—home pornography service. Our women will come to your house and be sexy for you. The best part? Just like the internet, they're free, but only for the first fifteen seconds. After that they will start manually installing viruses on your computers and coughing on your dogs and tipping over your fishbowls and family photos.
Do they come with free prescriptions of Viagra? No! Can you have sex with them? Not on your life! But, that doesn't mean you won't get diseases. Legally, we must say this.
If you're too embarrassed to actually request a woman from Dazzle, no problem, sometimes when you're ordering other products, like, groceries or a mechanic, we'll send one of our girls along, just so they can, "pop in." We call this service our "pop up" service because of the noise these girls make when they "pop" open your door with a crow bar. The crowbar will appear on your bill.
If you're not 18 or have no interest in porn, Great!!! We are just the service for you. Sometimes if you misspeak, and say "Mom when's the porn, I mean corn going to be ready," we'll send like thirty of these girls to your house just for the hey of it. Hope you made extra corn, 'cause these girls are hungry.
What are the advantages of Dazzle Home Porn Service? How about spyware?DHPS guarantees to never install spyware on your computer. We believe in a more personal approach. Large men will accompany each of our girls and force you to fill out surveys indicating your interests. We like to tell our customers this is just for fun, but seriously, people will get hurt if you don't answer the questions.
But in the end, Dazzle is just about having tons of harmless fun. Harmless fun and generous tips. Think of it this way: why make us threaten you with a crowbar that you're going to be charged for anyway. Just fork over the money and leave the potential head trauma for tomorrow.
Dazzle home porn service, because the best types of "pictures" move around and complain about their landlords when they're finished.

Very nice!
wow.. great job. thanks for sharing.
That's a map, the viewpoint is just sideways instead of straight down :-). And it's very nice - makes me want to walk down that street and see what's at the bottom of the hill...
Thanks! Illustration is all a little new and I still have a lot to learn, but I'm pretty happy with the first foray :) Any crits more than appreciated.
Lovely illustration, Torstan.
What are the little sparkly things along the edges of the houses?
I had a look on that book website to see how the image was used and it has been wrecked by the way. :S
Yep, I know. The author likes using saturation adjustments, and well she did commission it so I can't really turn around and tell her how it should be used...
The sparkly things are smatterings of fairy dust. I'm not sure I did the world's best job of fitting it into the image but I'm pretty happy with them. The town is inside a large semi-transparent golden dome, which is the reason for the slightly odd sky.
Talking about illustrators did you catch this you tube - I thought it was well cool thats all. http://www.youtube.com/v/IqjWP18hPHE..._US&fs=1&rel=0
God the re-working of the image is horrific.
@redrobes...I just get hugely jelous when I see stuff like that. Ah... it would be massiveblack.

Watch out - Jorth is a trifle upset...
"You would think", thundered Jorth as she stormed into her counsellor's office and threw herself into a chair "that if you were so sick in bed that you were tossing and turning with feverish chills that your husband would be busying himself making you chicken soup and attending to your needs, but noooooooo! Instead he was guzzing wine and hijacking my blog! MY BLOG! I've worked for years on that thing, and he just swans in and writes any old crap he wants, and then gets offended when I don't find it funny. I won't have it, I tell you, I won't have it!"
"Calm down" intoned the counsellor. "It's just a website. I'm sure he meant no harm."
"No harm? The atrocious spelling alone could have lost me beloved readers! Before I had Grumbles I worked as a technical writer. It was my JOB to make sure everything was correctly parsed and spelt before releasing it into production, and here's him thumping away at the keyboard like an inebriated monkey letting things - ach, I can't even call them words - like 'keyoard' and 'dained' and 'zilp' in. And that's just in the first three sentences! Oh, and one more thing: one exclaimation mark usually does the trick. Three is just overkill, demonstrating insufficient restraint in regard to sentence-end puctuation devices!"
"Well surely you could let that slip?" said the counsellor, but Jorth glared at her angrily and snapped "Not on your nelly, sister!" Pausing to cross her arms angrily she continued "And look at him there bragging about all the history books he reads. Who the heck does he think BUYS him the damn books? Me, that's who! Every single decent history book he has ever read in his life has first been scrutinised by me, but you'd never know it by the way he smugly goes on about it. Tell you what, he won't look so darn smug when I start walloping him over the head with them! Those Norman Davies' ones weight a tonne - I bet I could inflict some real damage."
Before the counsellor could even open her mouth Jorth bellowed "And I ride my bike every day without making a big deal about. What, does he man think he's a hero because he rides to work without needing a shower? I almost got skedaddled by a cheese truck in the city the other day, but did I carry on about it? No! It could have been death by cheese van for old Jorthy, but I didn't feel the need to let the world know. A little blog dignity wouldn't go astray!"
The counsellor, wondering if she would regret this later, quickly said "Well maybe your husband thought the tone of the blog had been lowered once you began talking about your pap smears" but she needn't have worried because Jorth wasn't even listening. She was far too busy ranting about the next thorn in her side:
"Cats! I BLOODY HATE CATS and he damn well know it, so what does he go and do? Puts a stupid picture of Baby Bloody Ging on my blog. My blog is a cat free zone, and he has crossed the line. I'd bring that ugly piece of orange fur back to life if I could just so I could do it in!"
"Good grief!" said the counsellor. "Control yourself, Jorth!"
"You don't get it", snarled Jorth. "I had an extended bad experience with a pack of wild cats, and as I result I really, REALLY don't like them. This is grounds for divorce, you know. I could overlook the blog hacking, the poor spelling, the dissing of crafting but the cat thing has taken it too far!"
With that she rose abruptly and stomped out of the room. The counsellor stared at the door for a moment or two before writing on her client file sheet 'Irrational and intense dislike of cats. Explore further!!!'
When not on my sickbed during the last few days I did manage to sneak in some knitting. Below, fresh off the needles, is a Baby Kimono from the Mason Dixon Knitting book by Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne. I used some Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic 8ply in Musk that I had left over from this project, and the ribbon was left over from that project as well. Austerity crafting at it's best! Now I don't feel so bad about some naughty eBay yarn purchasing I may have done...

Found November 20, 2012 on MLB Injury News:
PLAYERS: Rafael Furcal, John Mozeliak
TEAMS: St. Louis Cardinals
TEAMS: St. Louis Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals made another deep run in the 2012 playoffs, much like they did in 2011. However, the did so without their veteran shortstop Rafael Furcal. Furcal went down with an elbow injury in August. He missed the rest of the season. However, Furcal and the St. Louis Cardinals got encouraging news yesterday about the elbow. According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a scan of his elbow revealed that the damaged ligament was completely healed. This means Furcal should be able to return to the team next spring. "His ligament looked completely healed," GM John Mozeliak told "Inside Pitch" on Sirius XM radio. "Right now there's no reason to think he won't be ready to go and expect a full year out of him. It's a little bit of a relief for us." Furcal has spent the last two seasons in St. Louis and has had some success there. However, his productivity has naturally dropped off as he has aged. In those two seasons with the Cardinals combined, Furcal has hit .262/.323/.367. Those are the lowest numbers that he's had with any team in his career. Overall, Furcal is a .281/.346/.403 hitter in his 13-year Major League career. Furcal's return next season means St. Louis won't have to turn to younger more inexperienced players to man the middle infield. However, Pete Kozma did a nice job in the regular season and the playoffs while filling in for the injured Furcal. Furcal has one more year worth $7 million on his current deal with the Cardinals. At 35 years old, he may not be attractive trade bait, but if he shows he's healthy and can contribute, the Cardinals may see what they can get in return for him next summer.

Daily Journey - Dec. 8
December 8
Ezekiel 31; Revelation 1
Thought from Today's Old Testament Passage:
[Chapter 31] The prophecy of this chapter, as the two chapters before, is against Egypt, and designed for the humbling and mortifying of Pharaoh. In passing sentence upon great criminals it is usual to consult precedents, and to see what has been done to others in the like case, which serves both to direct and to justify the proceedings. Pharaoh stands indicted at the bar of divine justice for his pride and haughtiness, and the injuries he had done to God's people; but he thinks himself so high, so great, as not to be accountable to any authority, so strong, and so well guarded, as not to be conquerable by any force. The prophet is therefore directed to make a report to him of the case of the king of Assyria, whose head city was Nineveh. I. He must show him how great a monarch the king of Assyria had been, what a vast empire he had, what a mighty sway he bore; the king of Egypt, great as he was could not go beyond him (v. 3-9). II. He must then show him how like he was to the king of Assyria in pride and carnal security (v. 10). III. He must next read him the history of the fall and ruin of the king of Assyria, what a noise it made among the nations and what a warning it gave to all potent princes to take heed of pride (v. 11-17). IV. He must leave the king of Egypt to apply all this to himself, to see his own face in the looking-glass of the king of Assyria's sin, and to foresee his own fall through the perspective glass of his ruin (v. 18).

What are some theories of the creation of the universe?
View Single Post
Sep28-09, 01:00 PM
Hi, I'm new to this forum and I thought I'd ask for some help with my research paper.
Well Im a Senior in Highschool and I take IB (International Baccalaureate [Google it]) courses which are basically super advanced courses. Anyway, one of the requirements is that I write a 3,500-4,000 word essay of a topic of my choosing.
Well in my research paper, I wish to compare two theories of the universe in order to conclude which seems more plausible than the other.
What I'm asking from you guys are the names of a couple of modern theories of how the universe was created.
I also want to know where I can look for more information on these theories. (Links, books, articles etc...) *NO WIKIPEDIA*
So, can you guys help a kid out?
*Note: I know this belongs in the homework help section, but I didn't see a section there that didn't talk about the universe as much as this section did. :D

A member of "Battle Sisters", a fighting religious order consisting of Sanctuary native-born agents. Even the youngest agents, bare minimum, need at least 5 years of training experience. She's got pistols everywhere: In her hair, under her wimple, and in her habit. Due to being in the same environment as adults for as long as she remembers, she has a cold personality, resulting in her being somewhat of a loner. However, the other members refuse to leave her alone due to her cute pet-like charm, and when they're not on the job, members will often treat her like a cat. While she says she wants to be left alone so she can read her books... is it possible she actually likes the fawning...?

Pray for Catholic education in the Diocese of Metuchen. Holy Family Academy will close its doors in June 2011.
Holy Family Academy is a wonderful place for children to learn and develop. Throughout the five years my children have been attending this school, I have found the faculty to be not only good teachers, but dedicated to providing a positive environment for the students. Some constructive changes to the curriculum have taken place this past year and more are coming. But one thing that always remains constant with this school is that the well-being of the children comes first!
The school is great. I have been going here since pre-k and I loved it ever since I started. The teachers are great. They care and want the students to do well. They are sincere and to the point. We learn a lot and do projects to help us learn. My class is small and are all great friends. We are friends with other classes. We have plays and awesome school activities. We have basketball and cheer teams. I love this school and always will.
I can't think of a better school! Our motto is 'Learning to Love...Loving to Learn' and that's exactly what we are about! Our teacher are NJ state certified and are the BEST! Many of been there 20 year plus. That says a lot!
i believe this school is a great sucess. In its small classes students get one-on-one attention and develope educational and social skills.
My children attended this school for over 5 years and the education was subpar. Although my oldest was straight A's, when we transferred to another Catholic School in the area, we found my child was very much behind in all areas. Another one of my children couldn't read and the teacher hadn't even noticed. The new school noticed within a few days and recommended a child study team. There is a lot of politics in this school and I felt that the administration was weak. It appears that a small group of parents are the ones in charge.
Having moved to the Bound Brook area, I was encouraged to apply my child to HFA. After one year of attendance, I found the school did not adhere to its curriculum, the teachers were unorganized and lacked enthusiam for teaching. Often times homework and projects were assigned and deleted at whim. The children were supposed to have computer lessons, but this was for Word Processing only. No Internet Connectivity. When I requested parent - teacher conferences, I was met with excuses. The lack of pricipal leadership was astounding, no accountability. The school only appeared organized when school raffles were involved.

Cemetery Drive3 Reviews
Raising her tierd green eyes from the floor, she noticed a man watching her, He had long black hair that came to his shoulders, piercing hazel eyes and skin, if possible, whiter than her own.
It was now half past eleven, she had left the gallery only half an hour ago. She was annoyed that she was going to be late all because a rather up himself billionaire couldn't decide which painting he preferred, of course in the end her brought both, like almost all the customers that walked in and out of her office, he was filthy rich but had no sense.
Fifteen minuets later she pulled up outside the cemetery gates. Grabbing the pre-arranged bouquet of flowers she jumped out, noticing more cars than normal were parked in the car park. She hurried through the gargoyle-flanked gates and began to wander through the graves. As she walked towards the spot where her mother and brother were buried she noticed a small party of people standing round a grave listening to the final prayer the priest was reciting, she sighed knowing what it felt to stand their, and hoped that the person I question hadn't died in the same circumstances that either of the people she was visiting. She finally reached the graves, two stones marking them; she began to read the first.
Mary-Ann Louise Monroe
Born 16th September 1962
Died 23rd February 2001
Love is really the death of us all
Sweat dreams
She grimaced at the truth behind the final words. She turned and started to read her brother's stone:
Brian Thomas Monroe
Born 5th August 1986
Died 29th April 2002
Forever in our hearts
Her grandmother had written the last line. Bella personally hated it, it was so patronizing and that was one thing Brian had hated, being patronized. Placing the tulips on the graves, she turned and noticed she was being watched. One of the men from the group around the grave was now leaning against a near by tree, watching her every move. She didn't recognize him at first, he had cut his hair, but as soon as she looked into his eyes, she knew it was him. He looked older, more tired, in fact the only blemish on his ice-white face were dark blue bags under his eyes. She watched as he straightened up and began to walk towards her, never breaking eye contact. Her heart began to beat quicker and butterflies she thought had long been banished fluttered in her stomach. She didn't even know this mans name, but there was something about him made her want to be near him. She looked up to see just a few feet away, his hazel eyes shimmering in the midday sunlight.
"Don't I know you from somewhere?" He inquired.

GM offers financing to subprime buyers
In an effort to boost sales, the automaker targets buyers with less-than-perfect credit.
General Motors (GM) will continue efforts to increase vehicle sales and is expected to release another purchase program for buyers with low credit scores.
This same program was introduced back in 2010 after General Motors purchased AmeriCredit Corporation for $3.5 billion in an effort to gain access to subprime buyers. At the time, General Motors didn't have the same access to subprime lending as other companies like Honda (HMC) or Toyota (TM), and subprime buyers only made up about 1% of total GM vehicle sales, versus 20% of Honda sales.
General Motors' subprime buyers have grown to more than 8% since the purchase of AmeriCredit, and now the carmaker is about to release the program again. Vehicles included in the promotion are likely to include 2012 models of the Chevrolet Malibu, Cruze and Silverado. Should the program follow the same guidelines as it did in 2010, annual percentage rates (APRs) will be near 12%, with money down for buyers with a credit score lower than 650.
General Motors showed soft vehicle sales during the second quarter of 2012, reporting only modest growth of 1.4% from the year-ago period (falling far below analyst expectations of 11%).
According to JPMorgan, brand-specific vehicle sales showed Chevrolet sales up 1%, Cadillac up 31%, Buick down 8%, and GMC down 1%. Since the program is aimed mostly at budget-priced Chevrolet, General Motors may hope to see sales grow akin to Cadillac's numbers.
General Motors has been in the news regularly over its management changes, vehicle sales, new partnerships and its "Chevrolet Confidence" program, which offers haggle-free pricing on all 2012 model Chevrolets through September 4. All 2012 to 2013 model Chevrolets will be sold with a money-back guarantee of 30 to 60 days after the sale, with less than 4,000 miles. This program was unveiled previously in 2009.
But the automaker has managed to avoid news of recalls, unlike Ford (F), Honda and Toyota. So perhaps "Chevrolet Confidence" has meaning for both buyers and the seller. General Motors stated that there will be no change to its current marketing strategy, according to The Detroit News. Understudy Global Chief Marketing Officer Alan Batey announced Wednesday that the company will continue to moving forward, despite the departure of marketing guru Joel Ewanick.

Cooking up your own lambdas in Java 8 with ASM and JiteScript
Oliver White (@theotown) | 15 APR 2014 | 0 Comments
With Java 8, lambdas were introduced to the Java language; but at a bytecode level, nothing changed! We're still utilizing the existing invokedynamic functionality added in Java 7. So does this mean we can run lambdas on Java 7?
A new approach to Static Code Analysis
Alexandru Craciun | 11 APR 2014 | 0 Comments
Static code analysis is a great and cheap way to improve the quality of your code in a sustainable way. But what if you'd look at this part like it was about building future-proof unit tests - whenever you find a code bug you add something that makes sure that this type of bug never appears again - in any of your projects?

Logs As Data – What Are the Top Use Cases For Your Logs?
Jeff Wharton | 4 APR 2014 | 0 Comments
The humble log has largely been thought of as a data source that is there "just in case" there is a problem. Generally logs have only ever been accessible by the chosen few, who sit in the engine room of the system looking at at log events flying past all day long. However, there is a wealth of information contained in your log data which is useful for use cases beyond debugging or security. Find...

Fresh Tuna in GenSan at Pacific Seas Seafood Store
Posted by November 19, 2010on
General Santos City has always been known as the Tuna Capital of the Philippines. So it is not a surprise to see airline passengers flying back to Manila with boxes of frozen tuna as pasalubong.
But where to get the best tuna in GenSan is a tricky question if you do not know the ins and outs of this fishy industry. I am just to blessed because Orman and Avel brought me to Pacific Seas. There are several tuna shops along the National highway, but Avel pointed out that Pacific Seas is one of the best tuna brands available.
When we went there, their tuna panga (jaws) were pegged at PHP100 only! Ang mura di ba! Among the fast selling products available are the Tuna Panga, Tuna belly, tuna buntot (tail), Salmon steak, Tuna Sashimi, Salmon sashimi, cream dory fillet.
Pacific Seas products are guaranteed fresh as products are all vacuum-packed and blast frozen to maintain its quality. Because of this, you may now buy tuna products and bring them to Manila. In fact, I went home with almost 8 kilos of assorted tuna products.
Aside from the freshly cut tuna part, other tuna by-products are also available at Pacific Seas like Tuna tocina, tapa, longganisa, and embutido.
I bought several packs of tocino, embutido, tapa, and longganisa and I love it! It's healtier than the traditional preserved meat. And the tuna slices i bought were just perfect! The salmon sashimi has a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The tuna belly is very tender. I just marinated with with some salt pepper and calamansi then grilled it. voila!
The tuna buntot is perfect for sinigang. The tuna panga I bought will be grilled (ihaw) tomorrow.
Pacific Seas is available at the E. Fauni Bldg. National Highway and at the GSC Heights Aparente Street City Heights in General Santos City. It is also available at the YBL Complex Gensan Drive in Koronadal City and McArthur highway Davao City.
Aside from freshly cut tuna, you my also order whole tuna for your sashimi party! For orders, please call (082) 297 2909 or (083) 301 5678
For Cebu and Manila customers, they can ship tuna and other seafoods by air daily.
Enjoy the freshest Tuna only in Gensan! the Philippines number one low cost carrier Cebu Pacific Air flies to General Santos daily from Manila and Cebu. It's time Every Juan must visit the Tuna Capital of the Philippines! For bookings, log in to http://www.cebupacificair.com

Structural Uncertainty and the Value of Statistical Life in the Economics of Catastrophic Climate Change
AbstractUsing climate change as a prototype motivating example, this paper analyzes the implications of structural uncertainty for the economics of low-probability high-impact catastrophes. The paper shows that having an uncertain multiplicative parameter, which scales or amplifies exogenous shocks and is updated by Bayesian learning, induces a critical "tail fattening" of posterior-predictive distributions. These fattened tails can have strong implications for situations (like climate change) where a catastrophe is theoretically possible because prior knowledge cannot place sufficiently narrow bounds on overall damages. The essence of the problem is the difficulty of learning extreme-impact tail behavior from finite data alone. At least potentially, the influence on cost-benefit analysis of fat-tailed uncertainty about the scale of damages -- coupled with a high value of statistical life -- can outweigh the influence of discounting or anything else.

The Gallery: Anne Gant
Introducing Anne Gant, glass-blower and printer.
Anne Gant uses hot glass to make her prints. She first blows/sculpts glass into complex shapes and then presses these forms, while they are still hot from the furnace, into wet sheets of Arches rag paper.
This process she has invented creates these "prints" with a beautiful range of tones. And what about the glass pieces? They become cracked and destroyed when cooled so suddenly … the only record of them is their mark on the paper.
In the artist's words,
"The soul of glass is its heat. These prints function as maps of that heat. They reveal a secret aspect of the glass, normally known only to the maker."
Inquiries? Please email the artist directly.
4 Comments
These are stunning. I tried to email her to find out about pricing, but it was bounced back. Has anyone had any luck finding out more?
amazing and beautiful
Hi abby... glad you like them. I know that her phone number (an nyc mobile number) is listed on her website. didn't want to post it here... but it there, if you click on her name after "Introducing.."
I'll definitely give her a call soon. Thanks, Amy!
