These are the qualities that make them unique.
Some of the best interactions that we have with them highlight these qualities, but don't fit in a bio. That don't show up in an interview. They come from living life together.

The only thing i don't like about this lens is the minimum focusing distance of three feet. Other than that i don't have anything else to complain about this lens. I usually only shoot this at 1.4 to f2.2. It is lots of fun to use, extremely well constructed (not plasticky). Amazing portrait lens. The other competition around $1000 don't offer a huge huge difference regarding image quality for me to pay so much, and the main reason why i purchased this lens is because of the AMAZING bokeh and ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Samyang 85mm F1.4 Aspherical IF
See http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/53674678 No problems at all and a very good value.View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Something very wrong with the spring/aperture mechanism. One photo dark the other one over exposes while on total manual setting. Optically good on FX but bad on DX, which has issues with shadows / darker tones. This shows somehow some less funding goes into the glass (fair given that it sells for less). The mechanical problem is unforgivable.View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
For a longer time I've looked for a portrait lens with at least outstanding build and picture quality that I could use on my Samsung NX 5 camera. This one totaly "jumped" over my expactations as it is really great. The build is very good - excellent if you compare it to Samsung lens. Image quality is also very great - very sharp with nice colours. Only thing you need to get used to is that on f1.4 you're really focusing "on millimeters" so you need to be precise and take your time. I've model ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
If you want to take photos very quick - almost as with AF, you have to work oposite as we are used to (first sharpness than take a photo). Keep trigger down & try to find sharpness with focus ring. When you find focus camera takes a photo automatically. After some exercise-photos you will work almost fast as with AF. It works on my Samsung GX20 perfectly without mistakes. Problems: No problems ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
My lens is not really a Samyang but a Walimex Pro branded one instead. They are the same lens (like Vivitar, Rokinon, Polar, etc.) and they're all made in Korea by Samyang. The full name of mine is Walimex Pro AE 85mm f/1.4 IF UMC, the one with internal chip for focus confirmation and aperture selection on camera. I have to say, what a catch! This lens is spectacular for the price I paid (265€) and will be so useful for portraits and street photography. It will be an amazing piece of lens ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
I was very surprised when I saw the first results of this lens. With a prize/performance rati otruely unbeatable, this lens is a real alternative in comparison to the overprized nikkor lens. I've tested both and I have to say chapeau Samyang! Problems: as oldtimer I'm used to work without AFView review in forums Leave a comment on this review
A lens so cheap it makes the humble 50mm look expensive. I got this lens for £180 and was initially very skeptical of it being any good what so ever. initially from the feel of the lens i was surprised by how well made it is, then i felt its focusing ring and that was great and it also does auto aperture and meters with my cameras the fuji s5pro and the nikon D700 I have been walking around with this lens remembering how to use the little focus conformation icon in the eye piece and quickly ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
This is a very good build and very sharp lens at all F stops.I like the manuel focus because i want to doit myself. I experiens that when i was photographing whit Canon FD lenses./this lens is expressietly build for portrait and lowlight photography, therefore it is build for using wide open.Wide open it has there fore almost the same sharpnes in the corners as in the center wich gives a very egal picture wich is very importet for portraits.The sharpnes from this lens is wide open more than ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
The bad: it's fully manual, in Sony mount you don't even get focus confirm or SSS set at 85mm, and other 85mm lenses costing much more than it can slightly outperform it when stopped down. It also doesn't focus all that close. Everything else is either great or best-in-class. This lens is optimized for use wide open, which you'd think a lot of fast lenses would be, but is actually very rare. The IQ does get a little better as you stop down, but up to about f/2.8 I don't know of a fast 85mm at ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

just helped my kitty catch a lightening bug in the house! obviously she immediately lost interest in the thing that is the combination of her two favorite things (blinking lights and bugs) and demanded that i help her catch a moth because duh.
- increased hipster douchery concentration
- increased foot, cycle, and automotive traffic
- increased demand for parking and decreased ability to pull crazy U-turns on west street to snag that parking spot before NO FUCK YOU THAT IS MY SPOT AUUUUGH!!
- increased foot traffic = less sketchy mess when moving the stupid car for stupid alternate side parking every. damn. day.
- and heyyyy they cleaned up all the dogshit on this formerly abandoned block!! seriously, epic amounts of dog shit. EPIC.
- WOOOO FERRY! Downtown Brooklyn in less than 1.5 hours! Governor's Island!!
the online "fitness" tracker i started using to shame me into being healthier warned me that i have eaten too few calories today due to sleeping until 1pm. obviously i will be compensating with more wine. you know. for my health.
it's probably a bad sign that my mood improved 1000000% once i decided to not go out for someone's birthday and instead stay in watching park and recreation with my cat.
if last night was any indication, it's going to be a very sleepless 2 weeks.
on the other hand, if this morning was any indication, i will also stop even trying to sleep at 5:30am and go to the gym. so that's good i guess.
Printing cards, highline, belgian beer & mussels, then a show? Perfect Saturday.
(Shaping up to be the best weekend. Ever.)
perfect. friday. night.

John Donne: Poems Summary and Analysis
by John Donne
Holy Sonnet 10, "Death be not proud"
"Death Be Not Proud" presents an argument against the power of death. Addressing Death as a person, the speaker warns Death against pride in his power. Such power is merely an illusion, and the end Death thinks it brings to men and women is in fact a rest from world-weariness for its alleged "victims." The poet criticizes Death as a slave to other forces: fate, chance, kings, and desperate men. Death is not in control, for a variety of other powers exercise their volition in taking lives. Even in the rest it brings, Death is inferior to drugs. Finally, the speaker predicts the end of Death itself, stating "Death, thou shalt die."
Donne's "Holy Sonnet 10" follows the Elizabethan/Shakespearean sonnet form in that it is made up of three quatrains and a concluding couplet. However, Donne has chosen the Italian/Petrarchan sonnet rhyme scheme of abba for the first two quatrains, grouping them into an octet typical of the Petrarchan form. He switches rhyme scheme in the third quatrain to cddc, and then the couplet rhymes ee as usual.
The first quatrain focuses on the subject and audience of this poem: death. By addressing Death, Donne makes it/him into a character through personification. The poet warns death to avoid pride (line 1) and reconsider its/his position as a "Mighty and dreadful" force (line 2). He concludes the introductory argument of the first quatrain by declaring to death that those it claims to kill "Die not" (line 4), and neither can the poet himself be stricken in this way.
The second quatrain, which is closely linked to the first through the abba rhyme scheme, turns the criticism of Death as less than fearful into praise for Death's good qualities. From Death comes "Much pleasure" (line 5) since those good souls whom Death releases from earthly suffering experience "Rest of their bones" (line 6). Donne then returns to criticizing Death for thinking too highly of itself: Death is no sovereign, but a "slave to Fate, chance, kings, and desperate men" (line 9); this last demonstrates that there is no hierarchy in which Death is near the top. Although a desperate man can choose Death as an escape from earthly suffering, even the rest which Death offers can be achieved better by "poppy, or charms" (line 11), so even there Death has no superiority.
The final couplet caps the argument against Death. Not only is Death the servant of other powers and essentially impotent to truly kill anyone, but also Death is itself destined to die when, as in the Christian tradition, the dead are resurrected to their eternal reward. Here Donne echoes the sentiment of the Apostle Paul in I Corinthians 15:26, where Paul writes that "the final enemy to be destroyed is death." Donne taps into his Christian background to point out that Death has no power and one day will cease to exist.

How Health Coaching Can Benefit You
Posted March 22, 2014on:
- In: Advice | Fitness | healthy choice | Thoughts
- Leave a Comment
It's a few months after the start of the New Year, and while some people are getting into new health and fitness routines for spring, others are struggling with keeping up with the New Year's resolutions they made for themselves not so long ago. This can be a crucial time for some. Much like Yoga, the change to a healthier lifestyle is about practice, not about being perfect. Each day is a new opportunity to make a small change or to pick up where you left off after an off day. Your doctor, fitness instructor, or therapist may have talked to you about making healthier choices, but sometimes understanding how to really adapt your lifestyle to these changes can be challenging. That's where a health coach can help you.
It's easy to see why Health Coaching is growing rapidly in popularity. A Health Coach is the perfect compliment to your efforts to make lifestyle changes that are right for your specific needs. So what exactly does a health coach do? You may have a specific goal or health concern, and know what needs to be done to address the issue, but making some of those changes can be confusing or difficult.
Maybe you need to curb your sugar addiction, but efforts at a strict diet have been too overwhelming or discouraging. Maybe you have a hard time fitting exercise into your schedule or haven't found an exercise regimen that you enjoy that motivates you. Your health coach can walk you through these kinds of issues and more. She will listen to your needs and concerns and help you to implement changes that are both attainable and effective. She can help you discover dietary choices that are delicious, meet your nutrition needs, and help curb cravings. She can suggest small changes to your schedule that will give you time to exercise, and work with you to learn what motivates you.
Most importantly, your health coach is there to see that you attain a healthier, happier lifestyle. She has your best interests in mind, and wants you to work at a pace that makes sense for your needs and concerns. Your health coach combines the understanding of health, nutrition, and lifestyle with the support network that can be one of your greatest factors for success. She knows making better health and fitness choices doesn't have to feel like a punishment or that you should feel like you are missing out on anything. It's all about creating rewarding experiences that allow you to meet your goals and feel your best.
If you're struggling to meet your diet or fitness goals or want help implementing healthier choices into your lifestyle, you can find out more about our health coaching services at your-movement.com today!

Book Description:
Ever since the days of the 49ers and George Armstrong Custer, the Old West has been America's most potent source of legend. But it is sometimes hard to separate fact from fiction. Did you know, for example, that Annie Oakley was a talented marksman who shot an estimated 40,000 rounds per year while practicing and performing for Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show in the late l800s? Or that many interpreters believe that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is not just a fairy tale, but also a Populist allegory?These are just two of the folk legends dissected and examined in this veritable cultural geography. The volume covers everything from billionaire Howard Hughes and composer Aaron Copeland to Aztlan (the legendary first city of the Aztecs) and Area 51, the top-secret U.S. Air Force base at Groom Lake, Nevada, that has fascinated UFO and conspiracy buffs.

No-Shadow Kick – Promo EP (2001)
This promotional disc, aptly titled Promo EP, was released in the fall/winter of 2001 – an odd fucking thing to be scrambling to finish in the aftermath of 9/11, but well, that's what we were doin'. Josh had moved away and Shawn and I were trying to figure out if we were a band, a recording project, or a lost cause. This EP was an attempt to combine a holiday single with two new songs, and still have it work as a cheapo promotional item for our first album, 1999's Basement Make Out Party. (more…)

"A day doesn't go by where you don't hear about more bank layoffs and branch closings."

"If you're a banker today, many who once looked up to you as a success now think you're evil; maybe you're even the type who caused the economy to crumble."
Who woulda thunk that Business Insider, of all places, would provide an absolutely perfect and handy primer on the current state of banking and all the reasons you really should be marching on Jamie Dimon's house? And yet here we are! It's a wonderfully comprehensive and quite digestible little textbook on the real and astounding place we've found ourselves.
Yes. Talking headbot Charlie Gasparino really buys the chronic baloney line that the head of Goldman Sachs is concerned about retaining talent if the firm "can't" pay out bonuses because of public outcry. (I mean, "can't?) They don't give a rat's ass about public outcry! And they don't have any problem retaining talent! People are banging down the door to work there, as the company slowly reinflates after its bullshit, made-up layoff crusade of the last year. Where the fuck are people going to work-Lehmann Brothers? Every failed hedge fund in Greenwich? Gasparino presents three alleged "options" for dealing with bonuses, including raising salaries and shrinking bonuses (not going [...]
Congratulations to former Goldman Sachs sorta-honcho Jon Corzine, who's going to skate off somewhere (somewhere pretty far away from his former clients) after he beats the rap on his latest car wreck, accidentally evaporating A BILLION-PLUS DOLLARS of his customers' money at MF Global. Now everybody there is suing everybody there, and Corzine is thinking about starting a hedge fund, but only after he "accepts the invitation" to testify with federal prosecutors. This is the pig who came on board at MF and fired 1400 people right off the bat, replacing them with some obvious incompetents, after a long career of skating by on risky trades and [...]

Dimon implies bankers being raped: "to suggest we're supposed to bend down and accept it bec we're bankers – not fair" #wef #businessThu Jan 27 09:24:44 via webAndrew Clarkclarkaw
What's happening at the World Economic Forum in Davos, you ask, because you love to know about moguls? Well, JPMorgan Chase honcho Jamie Dimon thinks bankers are the new rape victims. But that's not all Dimon is spouting off about.
"The three directors who oversee risk at JPMorgan Chase & Co. include a museum head who sat on American International Group Inc.'s governance committee in 2008, the grandson of a billionaire and the chief executive officer of a company that makes flight controls and work boots. What the risk committee of the biggest U.S. lender lacks, and what the five next largest competitors have, are directors who worked at a bank or as financial risk managers." —Good stuff!
The last few decades have basically been about (slowly, and sometimes poorly) chipping away at entrenched secrecy and exploitation by rich people and corporations. To the point where we at least know that certain things happen. For instance, this just in! "The United States attorney's office in Miami accused Renzo Gadola, the head of RG Investment Partners, an investment-advisory firm in Zurich, of conspiracy to defraud the United States by helping wealthy Americans evade taxes from 2000 through this month." It's notable that Gadola was with UBS for 13 years, not just because "a former senior UBS private banking executive had worked as Mr. Gadola's partner to help [...]

'True Blood' Sneak Peek Has Bad News for Sookie
Well, I guess there's no sense in beating around the bayou bush, is there? 'True Blood' returns this summer on Sunday, June 10, and at least one particularly nasty past villain from seasons past will return to wreak havoc on Bon Temps. But does Sookie Stackhouse have any idea what's coming?
While it's still odd to think that 'True Blood' is utilizing the very same "Waiting Sucks" campaign as it did last year, HBO has issued our first look at a forthcoming scene from 'True Blood' season 5! In it, fan-favorite werewolf Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganiello) relays to Sookie (Anna Paquin) the shocking news revealed in last season's finale "And When I Die," namely that former Vampire King Russell Edgington appears to have broken free of his cement crypt!
Of course, Sookie has no idea what he's talking about, as neither Bill nor Eric bothered to inform her that they didn't actually kill Russell, but rather entombed him as an eternal torture – but since when do the men in Sookie's life ever give her the whole picture? And if we may say, Sookie seems awfully cavalier about things given she probably hasn't had time to clean her best friend Tara's brain matter off the wall – and assuming Alcide's ex-Debbie isn't still lying dead on the floor in Sookie's kitchen.
While we've embedded the behind-the-scenes sneak-peak of Sookie and Alcide below, by signing up for HBO GO you can view a longer version of the clip, in addition to all the amenities that come with it! So take a look below, and tell us what you're most looking forward to when 'True Blood' season 5 spills out this summer on June 10!

Last week, we looked at elements to include in every book proposal: cover letter, overview, marketing information, and a competitive analysis. Here are four more.
Author info
Include a short bio highlighting your writing experience, skills related to your book's topic, and your platform for promoting the book. If you're writing about pastoral care and you've professionally counseled pastors, share that. But beware—an editor will see through padding.
Chapter synopses
Avoid overwriting. Editors need only four to five sentences about each chapter to see how your book flows.
- Nonfiction: For each chapter, create a captivating title and list intended results.
- Fiction: Create a chapter-by-chapter synopsis that builds your story arc to a persuasive climax and resolution.
Sample chapters
Include the first 50 pages of your book (2-3 chapters). This will show an editor whether you can deliver—be sure this is your best work.
Check it—and check it again
Proofread your proposal several times. Allow a trusted friend to review it. Agents and editors are expert analysts. If your title is weak, your proposal full of errors, your synopses thin, or you include too much, your proposal will land in the wastebasket. Be succinct, yet savvy.
Consult The Christian Writer's Market Guide for publishers that accept unsolicited manuscripts, agents looking for new clients, and conferences where you can meet with editors. Don't be discouraged if you don't cultivate interest in your book right away—many best-selling authors spend years submitting proposals before getting published. Hone your talent and prepare a solid proposal, then submit it with confidence.

Watch Adventures of Don Juan: Don Juan de Marana damages Spanish prestige in diplomatic circles with his indiscreet womanizing, but he attempts to rehabilitate his image after he meets the beautiful Queen Margaret, trapped in a loveless arranged marriage with the weak and feckless King Philip III. The Queen becomes the love of Don Juan's life, and although she is obviously attracted to him, the relationship remains appropriately platonic. Becoming caught up in court intrigue, Don Juan uncovers a plot by the King's minister, the ruthless Duke de Lorca, to become the power behind the throne. After de Lorca is exposed by Don Juan, he brazenly intimidates the cowardly king into compliance and threatens to execute the...

Easton EA70 XCT 29er Wheel - Tubeless - 29in OE
Poor quality
This wheelset surprised me from day one with how much flex is in the wheel itself. I'm 220 geared to ride and my riding style is aggressive XC. I like to keep wheels on the ground. After 2 months, I spun out the freehub body and had to walk the bike back to the TH. CC is awesome as they warrantied this out but again 3 months later, same problem. After the second set being as flexy as the first and both freehub issues, I decided to upgrade to the Stans Arch Ex - so very happy I did.

I know Anveo has the capability in their API to send SMS messages, but I haven't seen anything about being able to send the VMWI indicator to cell phones over SMS. If we can craft this bitstream (change the DCS octet to a network notification instead), is there a way we can have Anveo send it?The reason why I ask is I'm changing my cell provider to one that charges $8/month for voicemail, and I'd like to use Anveo's (or VoIP.ms's, or whatever). It'd be nice to set the message waiting indicator instead of relying on my missed calls list, but if I can't, I can't.I suppose the other question is whether or not carriers would accept network messages from external sources onto their network. But hopefully somebody here has the answer!Thanks as always!
MWI over SMS I don't know.However for anveo, under Edit Voicemail Box/Profile, notification tab, you can specify either an email address and/or SMS number.Also, you can send the notification through an email to SMS gateway. You can do the same with voip.ms.You will need to configure your cell phone to forward the call to your anveo/voip.ms DID when busy, no answer or unreachable. (GSM codes)EyesOnly
Forwarding my phone isn't a problem, I just need to find a provider that supports a custom UDH when sending an SMS message. I've found lots of companies in the UK that do it but none in North America... yet.This can't possibly be that hard... it's just another field in the SMS data packet. It could easily be exposed via the API, assuming the provider had the ability to send such messages.

I am setting up a form to enter a chat queue on my website for work. The form script comes from the company we are using to host the chat, but the problem is that customers don't have to fill out anything to enter the queue. I want the users to have to fill out 3 of the 5 fields before they are able to click the sumbit button.
I've found a few scripts on the web that looked they like would work, but they were all for radio selections, and I don't have enough javascript knowledge to switch the correct paramiters to work with imput.
This is the script I am using;
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<form name="channel00000" action="https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/Customer/Download.aspx" method="post">

Please enter your name: 	<input type="text" name="name" maxlength="64" />

Company: 	<input type="text" name="comment1" maxlength="512" />

Phone: 	<input type="text" name="comment2" maxlength="512" />

<input type="hidden" name="EntryID" value="00000" />
<input type="hidden" name="tracking0" maxlength="64" />
<input type="hidden" name="language" maxlength="5" />
I need the name, comment1, and comment4 sections to be filled out before the submit will go through. I don't care if the button is not available until they are filled or a popup that asks for them to be filled out, just so long as they can't enter chat without us knowing their name and whatnot. From what I understand, the bulk of the form script needs to stay the same so it directs to us and not another company, but other than that, I'm open to any suggestion.
Thank you in advance, I need all the help I can get.

No DNA tests at airport checkpoints
TSA Blog
blog.tsa.govFeb. 26, 2011
Is the Transportation Security Administration about to start scanning the genetic makeup of airline passengers?
No way, writes TSA's Blogger Bob. In a recent post refuting an erroneous news report, Bob assures readers that "TSA is not testing and has no plans to use any technology capable of testing DNA."
So why do some people think it does?
"An article was posted to 'The Daily' today with the misleading headline 'Genetic Patdown,' " Bob writes. "Even more misleading, the first sentence leads off with the mention of airport scanners. So obviously, even though the rest of the article says nothing about airports or TSA, some readers naturally assumed this was a new technology that would be heading to the airports, and the tweets went wild. It didn't help that 'tsa-scanner' was included in the URL."
The Daily news service, which launched in early February, publishes articles directly to the Apple iPad and online.
Broadband plan and recent failureThe Hill's Congress blogthehill.com/blogs/congress-blogFeb. 28, 2011
Craig Settles, a broadband industry analyst, writes that President Barack Obama's National Broadband Plan is uncomfortably similar to the push for municipal broadband just a few years ago.
The problem, Settles argues, is the insistence on wireless communications. "Official D.C. is doing the same thing hundreds of elected officials did in 2006 — advocating a great set of significant, attainable economic goals, but betting on the weaker technology horse to carry us across this finish line," he writes.
During the recent push for municipal broadband, the idea was to have towns and cities provide centralized Internet connections, which anyone with a Wi-Fi device could connect to from anywhere within range.
"Politicians nationwide glorified the power of Wi-Fi to produce a host of economic outcomes, from attracting new companies and making local business more profitable to keeping college grads from leaving town," Settles writes. "Soon every city and hamlet had to have a Wi-Fi network. In 2007, communities woke up to the fact that Wi-Fi was inadequate for enabling the kind of computing tasks required to achieve the economic outcomes promoted."
Settles argues that a broadband policy should put fiber-optic cables ahead of wireless and let local areas determine what approach is best for them.
"D.C. policy people are enamored with wireless," he writes. "With this fixation, much money and time will be lost. In those communities whose successful networks attract companies with new jobs, propel local businesses into global markets and transform education, wireless usually is just part of the picture. They understand that businesses and other job-producing organizations require fiber in the next three to five years."
A full tank of hydrogenFastLanefastlane.dot.govFeb. 24, 2011
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood wrote about the day that five fuel cell-powered cars from major manufacturers visited the Transportation Department.
The cars came from General Motors, Honda, Kia, Mercedes and Toyota. "Fuel-cell vehicles are zero-emissions vehicles that run on electricity from hydrogen and oxygen," LaHood writes. "And they represent an exciting new automotive technology that promises to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and lower our greenhouse gas emissions."
He didn't mention the reason for the visit but used the opportunity to tout the technological advancement the cars represent. However, widespread adoption of the technology is hampered by the same obstacle that conventional cars had to overcome: availability of fuel.
DOT is helping address that through special programs, he said. For example, the department is helping the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District in California build a refueling station for a fleet of 12 — so far — fuel cell-powered buses. The station will also allow members of the public to fuel hydrogen-powered cars.
"So when this technology hits the market, we're talking about a zero-emissions car powered by a fuel created with zero emissions," he writes. "That's American innovation at work for all of us."

The traditional 12 days of Christmas run from 25 December to 5 January, a period that has been good to Manchester United over the years.
This season will hopefully be no exception as the Reds contest four league and cup matches in just 10 days, hosting Newcastle and West Brom before travelling to Wigan and West Ham in the New Year. In light of this, we've studied the archives to recall the first six of a dozen Yuletide fixtures...
25/12/1920: Aston Villa 3 United 4
It's 55 years since the Reds last played on 25 December – when the Babes gave Luton Town a 3-0 stuffing – but the finest of 33 Christmas Day fixtures came in 1920 at Villa Park. Seems United enjoyed trips to the West Midlands even then, with John Grimwood (2), William Harrison and Teddy Partridge ensuring the Reds were on the right end of a seven-goal thriller.
26/12/1992: Sheffield Wednesday 3 United 3
The first of two dramatic late comebacks against the Owls in 1992/93. Having stormed ahead through David Hirst, Mark Bright and John Sheridan in the first hour, Wednesday were coasting until Brian McClair headed home Lee Sharpe's cross on 67 minutes. The duo combined for the same outcome with 10 minutes remaining, before Eric Cantona bundled home a leveller. "Ferguson viewed it all with thinly disguised horror," penned The Guardian's Stephen Bierley. "But it was one hell of a game."
27/12/1995: United 2 Newcastle 0
This was the first of two crucial victories against the Magpies in 1995/96. Kevin Keegan's table-toppers led by 10 points, but United reduced the arrears with one of the finest festive results of the Sir Alex era. It was a must-win match and Andy Cole gave United the perfect start, hitting an angled side-footed drive in the sixth minute before Roy Keane fired home after the break. The gap was down to seven points and the title race was back on.
28/12/1992: United 5 Coventry City 0
Just two days after a thrilling comeback at Hillsborough, United welcomed on-song Coventry to Old Trafford, needing a return to winning ways. It took Ryan Giggs only six minutes to float home a glorious opener on the turn, before Mark Hughes slotted in a second. An Eric Cantona penalty and late strikes from Lee Sharpe and Denis

The month of June is always one with many activities taking place including graduations and field trips.
Maidstone Grade 5 and 6 classes, including Waseca students Ashley McFadyen, Lance Weisner, Natasha Donovan and Justine Fenblethet, made a field trip to the Ukrainian village near Edmonton, Alta. June 14.
Several local people attended an interesting event at Provost, Alta. recently. Among the activities were lawn mower races and mud bog races. Among those attending were Crystal Hult and Jose Mendez and family and Curtis Sutherland and Felicia.
Kelly and Bobbi Doepker have enjoyed some interesting weekends. Their activities included fishing in Ministikwan Lake, a 4-H weekend in Lloydminster and the Silver Lake ball tournament this past weekend.
Just keeping up with the phenomenal growth in gardens, lawns, trees and shrubs keeps many people occupied. Our bird and animal friends have also been enjoying the showery weather. Butterflies are also busy in the flowers.

Question - Is there a reason there are no Monks?
Haven't found any thing detailing that they or any other psionic class isn't allowed but I don't see any on the approved character list. Is there a reason for that? The material is old enough, right?

Monks are legal. I suspect that the reason there are none in the Approved List is because not everyone remembers to update it.

Thanks! Consider him copied! Think I'm going half orc for the interesting nature of the character. Short tempered but attempting to keep his calm. Very undiplomatic but attempts to be nice, problem isn't his lack of social niceties but a gruffness to his personality.
We'll see how it goes, was trying to decide between the monk, psion, and sorcerer. I think the monk will be fun to roleplay, in and out of combat.
Also, do we need to use the google docs spreadsheet also?

Posted by Fred Giron on the CIOs Blog on April 18, 2013
Organizations in growth markets across Asia have not traditionally been heavy consumers of outsourcing services. Having lots of on-premises hardware still carries some prestige for local CIOs, particularly in China and India. The availability of relatively inexpensive IT staff in local markets has also helped them deliver acceptable service levels to the business. Until now, that is. The combination of quickly rising IT salaries, increased competition from regional and even global expansion, and growing demands among business stakeholders to more effectively engage customers has put pressure on CIOs to increase the performance of their organizations.
More and more CIOs I speak with are struggling with how best to effectively transform their IT capabilities and meet fast-changing business requirements. In particular, whether to embark on this transformation journey alone or leverage outsourcing partners. In a recent report, I profiled organizations in Asia that are leveraging external service providers to accelerate their IT maturation. One example is a manufacturer with 10,000 employees and operations across Asia that outsourced its entire IT infrastructure environment to improve and homogenize service levels. Another is a large Indian bank that outsourced its entire IT department to a service provider and improved its maturity level from a 3 (on a scale from 1 to 10) to a 6 in less than a year.

Last month, I attended an IBM Systems and Technology Group (STG) Executive Summit in the US, where IBM outlined its key strategies for accelerating sales in growth markets, including:
· Aggressively marketing PureSystems. IBM is positioning PureSystems (a pre-integrated, converged system of servers, storage, and networking technology with automated self-management and built-in SmartCloud technology) as an integrated and simplified data center offering to help organizations reduce the money and time they spend on the management and administration of servers.
· Continuing to expand in "tier two" cities. Over the next 12 months, IBM plans to continue its expansion outside of major metropolitan areas by opening small branches in nearly 100 locations in growth markets, most notably India, China, Brazil, and Russia.
· Expanding channel capabilities and accelerating new routes to market. IBMplans to certify 2,800 global resellers on PureSystems in 2013 and upgrade the solution and technical expertise of 500 of its partners. Also, the company plans to drive the revenue of managed service providers (MSPs) by working with them closely to develop cloud-based services and solutions on PureSystems.
Considering the vast potential demand from growth markets and slowdown in developed markets, IBM is among the growing camp of multinational vendors aggressively targeting them as an engine for future business. Some of my key observations on IBMs event and recent announcements:

Sprinting; I hadn't sprinted since Little Athletics - even then I wasn't very good. Yet there I was, a 24-year-old with two grocery bags full of belongings, tripping over my skinny jeans like a drunken giraffe trying to escape a starved lion.
There I was - sprinting away from my man.
After being together for two years, it was the new password on his phone that roused my suspicion. And with a single lapse in his concentration I cracked it and was scrolling through his texts. There, listed only with the suburb the other cock lived in, was this: "I hope we can do it again, I want to see your face next time."
My first thought was surprisingly logical, like a child asking when their dog will be home after hearing it was hit by a car, "Well that's silly. Why didn't he delete this?" Then it fell upon me. Or perhaps not shattered but squished. It was as if our relationship was a sponge that had soaked up expensive wine and now was being wrung dry. My arms shook and snot exploded out of my face like a Play-Dough toy being sat on by a fat baby. Even I was struck by how melodramatically I reacted because, to be frank, I've already written this article in reverse.
It had only been a year since I'd cheated on him. Since then we'd worked on things, started laughing again, having good nights and great sex. Perhaps comfort is the killer? Anyway, here we are tit for tat, an eye for an eye, a cheat for the cheated despite his promise it would never be that way.
We seem to have trouble with keeping our dicks in our pants, us gays. Perhaps it's one of the few traits we share with our heterosexual brothers. Although, with double the testosterone at play, the speed of our transaction is near immediate. This, I believe, is the basis of how my boyfriend came to cheat on me. My physical or emotional absence that week was justification enough for him to click, sign-up or swipe onto any of the many cruising applications, those desperately simple fuck-finding devices that remove any lingering questions of intent while you peruse the meat-market. And it's that understanding which is unique to The Gay. Yes, the straights have their cute matchmaking sites, chat lines and Blendr, but we have mastered it. We have embraced it with such tenacity that even couples now simply keep Grindr on their phones after they've gotten into a relationship.
Constant cruising and eternal flirting has become an inbuilt element of homosexuality and, in my self-righteous, recently cheated upon opinion, stands as another kick in the balls to the idea of monogamy.
Sorry, I should have put a language warning on this - yes, I believe in monogamy.
My friends did what any good friends do in this situation: tolerating my crying, wheezing and oinking, getting me drunk, serving up pity and empathy by the barrel full. But then came this gem:
"Well monogamy isn't 'natural', is it Brendan?"
More surprising than what was where this sentence came from. Sure I had fantasised about open relationships before, read about them in BUTT Magazine and in interviews with famous jet-setting gays, but only then had it materialised as a direct option for my life from the mouths of my dearest and most respected friends. If they think it's right then maybe I was the one who had been doing it all wrong all this time?
For the most part I agree. I am astutely aware that two people - let alone two fags - can hardly wish for the lifelong relationships of swans. The concept of monogamy has become a joke, a distant relic. We use it with disdain in sentences along with words such as compliant, text-book and heteronormative.
As open relationships begin to gain popularity, hoping for monogamy has become something I'm ashamed of, something I hide. A trip away, a busy schedule or simply not being in the same room means the other person has a chance to cheat but to hell with you if you have the gall to raise concerns about it.
What right do you have being merely the subject of someone's love? What right do you have to stop them from releasing their jizz cannon upon the world? The open relationship rulebook is still a fairly new release that currently looks a little like this:
Only once / twice / thrice with any gay. Never / always tell me everything. Only / not with friends. Only in a different country / state / town / clubs / rooms.
Needless to say, getting advice on how to start an open relationship is about as safe as writing a PhD using Wikipedia. It does genuinely work for some people. Dan Savage sold it best with a retort to Stephen Colbert's accusation that open relationships constituted as cheating.
"Is it really cheating if the man I love is on the other side of the guy I'm sleeping with?" he asked.
But it's with a heavy heart that I discuss these ideas at all, terrified that my boyfriend will be excited and relieved that I've finally "modernised" my heart. So here I am, a closeted lover, my dirty little secret being that I just want to love and make love to one person at a time and that maybe, just maybe, they only want to love me.
I have one decent defence for monogamy, being that keeping yourself for your fella could lead to the most incredible sex of your life. That as time passes you will explore different, deeper, desirable things. That in the place of immediate, drunken, intensity is long-lasting romance coupled with mind-blowing, loving fucking.
Yes, we need sex and flirting in our everyday life. We need it to be good but sometimes we just need a cuddle. And we both know no one on ManHunt has a profile which reads: "Emotional rock, shoulder to lean on and I know exactly where you want me to put my tongue."
Alternatively, fuck all this shit and stay single.
Sparks. Go and like the damn facebook page.
It's a pretty amazing web series, with Brendan Maclean as a wedding planner.
He's such a cutie. They really couldn't have picked a better person to play a character with that much enthusiasm.
To my dear sister Rosa Parks,
I am just not so sure African Americans should be able to sit at the front of the bus. They've never sat there before, why should they sit there now?
Sure over time buses, bus drivers and bus routes have changed over and over again; some buses even have bendy-bits in the middle to let far more people on than normal! But this idea, this radical step, has taken it too far. Our place on the bus is not a "Human Right" and no one should force the Union of Bus Drivers to let us sit willy-nilly all over the place. What's next, sitting on the roof? God forbid if one of us even think about driving the bus!
What are we, African Americans, even complaining about? No matter where you sit you'll still get where you want. You still get off at all the same places white people do. It's exactly the same in every way, just a little bit different.
So enough with the protesting, enough with the complaining, enough with the petitions. There are far bigger problems we should be dealing with: African Americans are still persecuted all over the world, murdered or wrongfully imprisoned because of the colour of their skin. So why can't these latté-sipping, bleeding heart lefties think about that before they go whinging about where they plant their bums. The wheels on the bus go round and round - and we should be happy that we're allowed on it at all.
Love from your brother,

86. Ben Huh
CEO, Cheezburger Network
"The lives of cats are pretty enticing," deadpans Ben Huh, 32. He would know: The meme mogul runs the 45-blog Cheezburger Network, best known for a site that posts feline photos with misspelled captions (e.g., "Rehab kitteh ... has relapse"). "We build communities around content we think people are passionate about," says the Seattle-based Huh, who is, ironically, allergic to cats. "We involve them, and we make sure they're having fun." The sites--wholly populated by user-generated content--cover everything from botched translations (Engrish Funny) to Facebook flubs (Failbook), logging 350 million--plus page views per month. Most remarkably, Huh and his 40-person-strong staff are creating a new site every week--one popular post can seed a whole new blog. Advertisers have followed, driving the network's annual revenues into the seven figures.

Airport screeners, gov't agree on labor contract
Thursday - 8/2/2012, 6:26pm EDT
By SAM HANANEL
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The union representing nearly 45,000 airport screeners has reached a first-ever collective bargaining agreement with the Transportation Security Administration.
The agreement, reached Thursday, comes more than a year after TSA head John Pistole agreed to grant screeners limited union rights for the first time since the agency was formed in 2001.
It includes a new process for resolving disciplinary matters and a better system for increasing pay based on performance, said John Gage, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents TSA workers.
"What this contract will do is provide for increased uniformity on fair treatment and the other issues important to employees across the nation's airports," Gage added.
The agreement was reached after months of tough negotiations and with the help of federal mediators. Union members still must vote to ratify the contract.
Screeners who X-ray bags and guide passengers through security had been among the few federal employees without union rights. The decision to allow TSA workers to unionize prohibits them from negotiating over security matters. They are also banned from going on strike or conducting work slowdowns.
One of the biggest changes under the new deal is that disputes over serious disciplinary matters will be decided by independent third-party arbitrators at the federal Merit Systems Protection Board rather than TSA managers.
"We improved in all areas," Gage said. "I think having a voice at work and a mechanism to air grievances is going to go a long way in improving morale."
The TSA has ranked near the bottom of all federal agencies in employee morale according to surveys conducted by the Office of Personnel Management.
Republicans had resisted unionization efforts for years, fearing labor disputes could affect security at the nation's airports. But Democrats argued that other federal law enforcement agencies, such as border patrol agents and customs officers, had negotiated through unions for years with no adverse impact on security.
Pistole said the agreement "represents a significant milestone in our relationship with our employees."

"Where do we first experience the nascent emotions of love, rejection, anxiety and joy? In the first school we ever attend — in our mother's womb." (Verny, 2002, p. 53)
I have often imagined life in the womb as peaceful, calm and warm. I think of it as a place of protection and safety. I hope that for most babies, their experience in the womb is just like that. But some of what I have been reading lately suggests that, for some babies, the womb may not be such a comfortable place. It may be up to us — when we are pregnant, our babies feel what we feel.
Since I first came up with the idea for this blog, I have been collecting pregnancy and childbirth books. I find them at garage sales, used bookstores and online. I have been amazed at how many there are, each with it's own unique perspective or focus. Many books talk about the emotions that a pregnant mother might feel. They bring up concerns such as fears about changes in our bodies (Curtis & Schuler, 2004), fears about birth (Cappacchione & Bardsley, 1994) and the importance of support for coping with anxiety (England & Horowitz, 1998). These books describe mom's and sometimes dad's emotional experiences during pregnancy, but the experience of the baby is conspicuously absent. So far, I have found only one author, Thomas Verny, who discusses the emotional world of our babies in the womb in depth.
It may be hard to imagine that babies experience emotions while still in the womb. After all, they can't describe their feelings to us. Historically, many have denied the emotional world of the baby in the womb (Verny, 2002). It is as if they are saying, "we can't observe it, so it doesn't exist."
Others do not have trouble imagining that babies have feelings even before birth and say that we actually can observe them (e.g., Verny, 1981). During times when pregnant moms feel anxiety, they report that their babies move around more frequently. Ultrasound technicians have watched expressions on faces of developing fetuses as early as four months and can see them cry like infants (Verny, 2002)
At about six weeks prenatally, scientists have observed a ridge that forms the basis of the amygdala, the structure in the human brain that produces emotions such as fear (Joseph, 2000). It is not certain exactly when babies may start to experience fear, but it appears that a fetus has the basic equipment to experience emotions from an early stage in development. What a baby at this stage does not likely have, however, is the ability that adults have to cope with emotions. As adults, we may have learned to push emotions aside or get support from friends when we feel scared. A baby does not have those skills. Our baby may be feeling everything. But what might that be?
A body of evidence shows that the chemicals associated with anxiety and fear, such as the hormone cortisol, pass from the mother to her developing baby through her placenta (e.g., Charil et al, 2010; Gerhardt, 2004; Verny, 2002; Weinstock, 2005). A mother's moods and emotions take the form of molecules (e.g., Pert, 1997). These "emotion" molecules then pass into the developing child just as proteins, vitamins or alcohol will. Just as he shares his mother's body, a developing infant shares his mother's emotions.
Sharing emotions appears to have some serious consequences for some babies. Maternal stress has been associated with problems in brain development (Charil et al, 2010) and temperament in infants (Weinstock, 2005). Mothers who have emotional difficulties are more likely to give birth to babies with sleep problems, digestive problems, and irritability. Moms who experience chronic stress during pregnancy are more likely to birth infants who cry inconsolably (Kitzinger, 1989). Depressed mothers often give birth to depressed babies . Depression, anxiety and stress can be passed on non-genetically, in the womb (Gerhardt, 2004).
The evidence about babies' emotions in the womb certainly puts a lot of pressure on pregnant moms. Not only are we adjusting to the idea of becoming a parent, adding a sibling, negotiating maternity leave, and addressing fears about childbirth, we now have the expectation to monitor our emotions so that our children will be born psychologically healthy. It is impossible to have a stress-free pregnancy; it is only when stress is chronic and persistent that parents should be concerned (Verny, 1981). Pregnancy also provides an opportunity to address our parenting fears and expectations before our baby is born.
The good news is, moms with lower stress or who manage stress well are more likely to birth psychologically healthy babies. If we can moderate stress and facilitate a supportive environment, our developing infant's resources can be directed toward growth, rather than protection and defense. In one study, researchers showed that babies of mothers with low stress had heart rates that went up when stimlated, then returned to normal quickly (Wadhwa, 1998 as cited in Verny, 2002). Babies of calm mothers seem to learn how to cope with stress in a healthy way. There is also hope for mothers who, through no fault of their own, experience chronic stress in pregnancy. Social support has been shown to mediate the effects of stress on the developing child (Verny, 2002)
One of the most valuable lessons my therapist taught me when I saw her during my pregnancy, was how to establish a boundary between my emotions and my baby. When we were about to work on something from my past, she encouraged me to communicate intuitively with my baby, letting her know that she did not need to be concerned about my emotions; I was taking care of them. I often repeated this communication when I became anxious or worried during pregnancy. I let my baby know that I would care for her and keep her safe. I let her know that she was doing exactly what she needed to do — grow, sleep and take in nourishment.
Here are some suggestions for creating a womb environment that promotes your baby's emotional health.
1.) Use Intuitive communication — many pregnant moms experience intuitions about their babies. I've heard mom's say things like, "he doesn't like it if I eat spicy foods." Intuitive communication can be a first step in forming a relationship with your baby that is based on communication and understanding (Verny, 2002). If you get an intuition about your baby's emotions, you can start responding to them even before you see his face.
2. ) Form A Partnership with Your Baby — you and your baby are sharing a body and emotions. Why not face challenges and joys of pregnancy and childbirth as partners? This can also lay the groundwork for a parent-child relationship based on cooperation and understanding (Capacchione & Bardsley, 1994).
3.) Clear the Field — emotions from past hurts, relationship problems, past pregnancy loss, or resentments toward your own parents can leave unwanted and unresolved emotions that you may pass on to your baby (Verny, 2002). Pregnancy can be a perfect time to clear out these old wounds. Consider psychotherapy or other healing modalities to clear your emotional field during pregnancy.
4.) Garner Support — pregnancy can be a stressful time, but social support is one of the proven ways to cope with the stress. Whether you choose to chat with a friend, join a support group, or reconnect with family, support could be crucial to your baby's emotional well-being.
5.) Cultivate Calm — you will not eliminate stress from your life, but taking time out of your day for a calming activity will help both you and your baby learn that stress need not persist eternally. Consider taking a prenatal yoga class or starting a daily meditation practice, particularly one that encourages connection and partnership with your baby.
6.) Create a Boundary — your baby does not have to feel everything you feel. Children have a tendency to take responsibility for their parent's feelings. Let your baby know that even though you have worries, you are the parent and you are taking care of them. Let him know that he is doing exactly what he needs to do, growing into the person you are looking forward to see very soon.
