Making a good selection—whether it's selecting a geometric street sign or a finely detailed dandelion seedpod—doesn't begin with the mouse. Rather, a good selection involves first assessing the image and the subject and then, based on that assessment, deciding on the best selection tool(s) or technique(s) to use. Once you've selected the subject, the fun begins. You can change its color, replace it completely, or add it to another image to create fantastic images that are uniquely yours.
In the following section, I introduce the five primary types of selections and explain which tools and techniques to use, as listed in table 2.1. The five primary types of selections are based on shape and form, tone and color, edges and detail, translucency and light, and opposites and differences. To make life interesting, images often combine more than one of these selection types, and you will need to use more than one tool or technique to make the best selection.

I originally posted that I was going to get a weave and my stylist is the MOH so I should be ok but after reading more and thinking about it I'm kind of worried about what will happen to the hair when I go swimming after the wedding. Back to square one I guess........

SO glad I have locs now! Don't have to worry about the hair thing. My stylist is invited to the wedding, so she'll be twisting my locs about a day before and i'll have an updo. My hair is really long, so I'm thinking all of my hair won't be up.

I am leaning towards a weave since my friends told me they'd hate to see me in my standard braids on wedding day. So this will be the one time that I will purchase some really high quality hair - no expenses barred so I can go (and enjoy) swimming before and after the wedding and still look great. I have had weaves in before and gone swimming in them and they were ok. You just have to brush and braid it before you go swimming and wash it out immediately after. Now I just need to make sure I can get it styled the way I want for the big day.

Anyone considering a lace front? I was wondering about it. I am transitioning from relaxed to natural hair, therefore I don't want any of my hair out. So, I am debating between small micros or a lacefront. But, I was worried about all the glue/tape process because I've never wore one before. Any suggestions/input?
Posted 26 January 2010 - 02:27 PM
I always get weaves but I've never gone swimming with one before. I'm really nervous about how my hair is going to look after I go swimming. The hair I want is already curled so I'm not sure if braiding it will work.

I am sooo confused as to what to do with this hair of mine.. I just got a relaxer and I feel that my hair was over processed and I only have a few weeks before the wedding and I feel like it is shedding like crazy. Yes all the drama of our hair does indeed make me want to slap somebody. My stylist is going to to some clip in pieces for me for free and is invited to the wedding, but she does not have her passport in hand and I walk down the aisle in 18 days!! Soooooo aggravating!

50m Butterfly
1. Yolane Kukla - Watch Kukla's starts, they are lightening quick. Particularly helpful on a 50m sprint.
2. Marieke Guehrer - Won Pan Pacs in 25.99 (Kukla won the B final in the same time). Reigning World Champion in this event.
3. Francesca Halsall - Expect a blanket finish. Halsall might miss out on this one to the Fly specialists.
Emily Seebohm - Was just 0.09 seconds behing Guehrer in the A final at Pan Pacs. Certainly an event we could see an Australian 1-2-3.
100m Butterfly
1. Francesca Halsall - Has to be considered favourite after pushing World Champion Sarah Sjoestrom so close in Budapest untapered.
2. Alicia Coutts - Leads the Australian charge after her 57.99 at Pan Pacs.
3. Yolane Kukla - Felicity Galvez and Kukla is a hard choice for Bronze. I'm going with youth over experience
Ellen Gandy - I expect 3 Australian's in the Top 4 positions, however Ellen Gandy could break that up. 100 isn't Gandy's distance but if her training has gone right she could challenege for a medal.
200m Butterfly
1. Jessicah Schipper - I always seem to underestimate Schipper in major competitions and I don't know why. Surely age is going to catch up with her soon as she's been around for so long. Yeah, she's still only 23.
2. Ellen Gandy - I tried as hard as I could to find an argument to pick Gandy ahead of Schipper but fell short. Gandy won't be far off though having been 2:07.54 at Europeans. Expect even faster in Delhi.
3. Jemma Lowe - Missed the European final by 0.01. If the taper went well in Florida she will challenge.
Audrey Lacroix & Samantha Hamill -Both women made the final of World's last year and will be in the hunt for medals.

THE man who died saving a five-year-old girl drifting out to sea at West Wittering has been named.
The hero, who was pronounced dead at the busy beach on Saturday lunchtime, was 32-year old Plamen Petkova, of Westmoreland Drive, Sutton, Surrey.
A Bulgarian national, Mr Petkova died after he went to the aid of a young girl from London, along with another woman. He managed to get the girl safely to the woman - who got her to shore - but he was recovered unconscious from the sea.
Despite efforts by members of the public and emergency services to resuscitate he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A postmortem held today (Tuesday) at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester found the cause of death to be drowning, and an inquest has now been formally opened and adjourned.
A Sussex Police spokesman said; "It is clear that this was a tragic accident, and there is no further police investigation.
"There will be a coroner's inquest at a later date yet to be set."

BSB athletes have achieved their best ever result in the annual Relais Givrés. The BSB team took home gold in the Mini-Relais category with an impressive time of just 1h30m19s. In the Mini-Relais, teams consist of four runners aged 13 or less and one over 14. Each runner must complete an individual leg of 4 km followed by a group leg of 2 km.
The BSB team of brothers Vitas (Year 6) and Primo (Year 8), Harry (Year 8), Vincent (Year 9) and Thomas (Year 12) competed against 38 other teams, mostly from running clubs. BSB has competed in this competition many times in recent years but it is the first time we have won, so many congratulations to the five runners! Two other BSB students – brothers Elliot (Year 6) and Mathieu (Year 7) – represented their club, Racing Club de Bruxelles, finishing in 1:31.14 to take silver. All in all it was a very successful race day for BSB runners.

Malware identified as latest Mac Trojan targeting activists
Apple platform security firm Intego has discovered OSX/Imuler.E, a new variant of the Imuler Trojan.
A new variant of Mac malware Imuler has been identified targeting Tibetan activists. The discovery was made by...

Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
Bellevue, Wash.-based Apple platform security vendor Intego Inc.
According to a blog post by Lysa Myers, a virus hunter at Intego, the malware has been identified as OSX/Imuler.E, and shows many similarities to OSX/Imuler.D, which also targeted Tibetan activists.
The Imuler backdoor Trojan family was first discovered in Sept. 2011. The variants have targeted activist organizations with emails appearing to contain photographs. Attackers have alternated their tactics between trying to scare or entice the email recipients.
Security experts have warned that the Apple platform is increasingly becoming a target of attacks. Although the Imuler Trojan is typically used in extremely targeted attacks, experts point to Flashback as an example of how attackers can target vulnerabilities in the system or gain access by exploiting flaws in the applications running on the platform. Flashback managed to infect an estimated 700,000 before it was contained. It spread quickly via drive-by attacks.
Once Imuler has infected a machine, it attempts to communicate with a command and control server for further instructions. The Trojan can steal information by searching the system for user data or by taking screenshots.
"This data is then uploaded to the controller's server," wrote Myers. "It creates a unique identifier for the specific Mac to be able to link the Mac and the data it collects. The backdoor also allows new files to be downloaded onto an affected system."
A reboot cannot remove the malware, instead, the malicious files must be deleted from the infected machine.

Reverend Jeremiah Wright of Chicago, among other things, liked to talk about the "chickens coming home to roost."
Could he have been forewarning Illinois citizens of the fact that its creditworthiness was rapidly becoming a thing of the past? Undoubtedly not but sombody should have been. An already seriously bad situation is getting worse by the day.
And since the Democratically dominated state won't come to grips with its public sector pension problems and its other financial recklessness, relative to other states the interest rates on its borrowings will be going up considerably, putting even more pressure on its deficits each year. It's a vicious circle.
And what's going on in Illinois may be predictive of our nation's future creditworthiness as well, assuming we don't get our combined political and We the People act together and begin to make common sense decisions about spending, taxing, economic growth and the irresponsible behaviors of our big and ever growing government knows best gang of aristocrats.
Illinois Yanks Bond Amid Pension Woes reports the latest on the continuing political debacle in the "progressively" financed Land of Lincoln:
"Illinois took the rare step Wednesday of postponing a bond auction just hours
before it was expected to launch, as concerns grew among investors over the
state's deep pension hole.
While Illinois still has ready access to capital markets, state officials
feared a jump in interest costs to attract buyers if they went forward with
plans to sell $500 million in bonds for school and transportation projects. Bond
investors have become increasingly leery of the state because of a deadlock in
the Illinois Legislature over how to fill a $96.8 billion pension shortfall,
considered by researchers as the worst among U.S. states.
"It's the first real market indication that, because of our fiscal condition,
we couldn't sell bonds," said Brian Battle, director of trading at Performance
Trust Capital Partners in Chicago, referring to his home state. His firm had no
role in the Illinois bond sale.
The potential jump in borrowing costs is the latest sign of growing fiscal
challenges in Illinois. The state already is paying the highest interest
rates—at about 3.2% on its 10-year bonds, according to Thomson Reuters Municipal
Market Data—among U.S. states, and the Illinois government is behind on its
bills to hospitals, doctors and pharmacies by an estimated $8.4 billion,
according to the state comptroller's office.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services on Friday downgraded the state's debt,
aligning Illinois and California as the lowest-rated states. But while
California's rate outlook is positive, the credit-rating firm warned of further
downgrades of Illinois if the pension issue isn't addressed....
The decision by Gov. Pat Quinn, a Democrat, to delay Wednesday's bond sale
sparked renewed calls for immediate action among lawmakers who have been
debating potential fixes for more than two years. "The governor's delayed bond
sale should direct our attention to the indisputable truth about pensions," said
Illinois Senate President John Cullerton, a Democrat.
Still, no timeline exists for when pension legislation will be voted on, with
the next likely deadline coming at the end of May when the legislature is
scheduled to adjourn. Any plans to address the shortfall are expected to require
cutting benefits for state workers and retirees, raising new revenue or a
combination of the two. A plan that would have put on hold a cost-of-living
increase for retirees and increase pension contributions by current employees
didn't even get voted on earlier this month in the so-called lame-duck session,
which took place before new legislators were sworn in.
The pension issue is further complicated by a state constitutional protection
of promised pension benefits for current and former government workers, with
labor unions planning a court challenge if lawmakers approve cuts. In its
downgrade of Illinois, Standard & Poor's cited the likelihood of years of
litigation and its potential drag on state finances.
State budget officials said they are still planning to go through with the
bond sale, but haven't set a new date. States tend to postpone bond offerings
only when circumstances change, roiling interest rates. For now, the projects
the bonds were being sold to fund aren't expected to be delayed."
Summing Up
Ignoring problems won't make them go away.
And when unions insist on not finding solutions, the problems get worse.
And when the problems get worse, new loans are harder to get and the interest rates on those loans will be high.
And that will make the financial problems more acute.
The state constitutional protection, behind which the unions are trying to hide, won't provide money to pay the bills.
Only taxpayers can do that. Soon it will get down to tough decisions about how much of the limited taxpayers funds to spend on such things as public safety and security, infrastructure needs, and public services relative to the number of and salaries paid to current public sector employees compared to the cost of benefits for retired public sector employees who are no longer working.
The problem in Ilinois is analogous to trying to put ten pounds of s_ _t in a five pound bag. It can't be done.
In simple language, the same dollar can't be spent twice, and when borrowing those dollars becomes more expensive than it already is, the chickens will definitely be hurrying home to hear the fat lady sing.
That's my take.
Thanks. Bob.

My previous best was 26 pounds and change. I caught that fish a short time after I started targeting carp exclusively almost 4 years ago.
I am lucky to work for a great company with fantastic benefits, which includes a generous number of vacation days. I scheduled a vacation day yesterday and headed out to one of my favorite fishing spots.
I ended up with 7 fish (6 carp and 1 catfish) overall, but one fish stood out above the rest - a 29 pound 2 ounce "monster" on Halloween.
While reeling in the fish I remember commenting to my friend Bill who was fishing nearby that the fish was kind of lazy and meandering. I carefully adjust the drag on my Sonik reels to ensure I had just the right amount of tension while keeping the drag lose enough to guard against the dread hook pull.
I wasn't making a lot of progress at first, but slowly and steadily the fish drew nearer the bank. And then the fish was safely secured in the net, I knew it was something special.
And the weigh scales confirmed it - 29 lbs. 2 oz.
I hope you enjoy pictures of that fish and the others.
|Big carp, big mouth
|This fish was not easy to pose properly. I am always surprised at the dead weight of fish weighing more than 25 pounds.
|This is my favorite picture of the 29 lb. 2 oz. that has become my new personal best common carp.
|Upper teens
|This fish has been eating very well lately it seems.
|This fish is on the way to bigger and better things. It's getting thick in the head, which is a sign of future possibilities.
|Another mid teens
|Look at that gut
|Another quality Halloween carp
|Another one
|Caught in October 2014

We set the alarm early to try to catch the sunrise. She was indeed up and about (in a pleasantly unexpected reversal of our usual roles), but I was really tired. But I also managed to get up around 7.30am to be greeted with a cloudless view, with the morning sunshine gradually bringing more in from the darkness.
Breakfast was typical fare of cheese, bread, boiled eggs and cold meat, but even these tasted better cos of our great mood.
There were so many alternatives to choose from and so little time, at the end we decided to go up to Klein Matterhorn. A couple of cable car rides later we were there, and it was great. The first venture out to the viewing platform was a bit of a shock, it was cold. Couldn't move too far too fast without being out of breath, and a little dizzy too. Of course, we were at high altitudes, so not as much oxygen.
Most of the other passengers in the cable car were there for skiing or boarding, I was so jealous. The run from the cable car was a long straight one down the glacier and it looked like so much fun. Sigh.
We made our slow way back down the valley, by the time we reached the middle station the shortness had all but disappeared, and we took even more photos. 3 cheers for digital cameras I say. A last walk through the village, a short wait for the train and we were back in our car.
I'd suggested we went back to Zurich via another route, through Ticino, looking at the map it seemed manageable, albeit a bit far, I was determined to try it. It was a long way, up and down some very steep inclines. Plus we drove through Italy, literally, we didn't stop. The border checkpoints were almost invisible, and all of a sudden I was driving on an autostrada! Then shortly after, we were back in Switzerland.
I'd initially wanted to aim for Bellinzona or Lugano, but it was getting late and we ended up in Locarno. No big, it was still very nice. The difference in temperature was fairly pronounced, we enjoyed a short walk around the lake, had an outdoor dinner of pizza and risotto, then headed back to Zurich.

Where good overcomes bad
and innocence becomes supreme
where the meek become powerful
and the sun keeps shining brighter
Where man and woman,
black and white,
old and young stand
and come together in
peace and harmony
Where the trees shed leaves
and soften the earth below
where stones become steps
to wisdom and knowledge
Where a thousand lamps bring love
to the darkest corners of our hearts
where the sweet smell of jasmines
empower and enrich our senses
Where the scent of the incense stick
tugs at even the wicked heart
Where the string around the banyan
tree binds us all together
in search of a temple
in search of truth
I find love and joy and all things good.
This poem is a small tribute to that wonderful place called "god's own". Every time I visit a temple, I can literally purify myself and my thoughts just by thinking pure thoughts.

This new research may have you watching what you "like" online. A study from the University of Cambridge in England says that Facebook likes can reveal a lot about your personal information.

The Cambridge study claimed to have had success in gleaning "highly sensitive personal attributes" such as sexual orientation, ethnicity, religious and political views, personality traits, intelligence, happiness, use of addictive substances, parental separation, age, and gender just from what people liked online, according to the research paper.

The analysis surveyed over 58,000 U.S. Facebook users. The users' likes were figured against their "Facebook prole information psychometric test scores, and survey information," said the study.

"It's very easy to click the 'like' button, it's seductive," David Stillwell, one of the study authors, told AFP. "But you don't realize that years later all those likes are building up against you." Stillwell is a psychometrics researcher who worked on the project with colleagues from Cambridge University and Microsoft Research. The work has been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The Costa Tropical is the coastal region of the province of Granada sandwiched between the Costa del Sol to the west and the Costa Almería in the east. It is called the Costa Tropical because of the exotic fruits that grow there. Its unique microclimate has enabled the cultivation of chirimoya, mango, kiwi, avocado and sugar cane.
There are some delightful stretches of this coastal region. In particular, Almuñecar and Salobreña are extremely attractive.
|Calahonda (Granada)
Almuñecar derives from the Arabic name Hins-al-Monacar, or fortress city. The old town is strategically positioned on the top of a hill. The town has a long history dating from Phoenician times and much evidence of its historic past can be found there - the Castillo de San Miguel being the most obvious example. There are relics of its Roman occupants - aqueducts, baths, bridges, tombs and palaces. Evidence of the Moors occupation can be seen in the streets and buildings of the old town.
|Bahía de La Herradura, Almuñecar

Other sites are the necropolis from the 7th century BC, a 4th century fish salting plant and a number of churches dating from the Christian reconquest.
|Gran Peñón, Salobreña
photo: Robert Bovington
as the Jewel of the Tropical Coast - swathes of whitewashed houses tumble down the sides of the Gran Peñón, a rocky outcrop crowned by a Moorish castle. The old town's narrow streets are awash with bougainvillaea. From here one can look down on orchards of sub-tropical fruit trees and sugar cane plantations as well as Salobrena's modern development - not the ugly tower blocks of its Costa del Sol neighbours but low-rise, attractive apartments gracefully spreading out towards the shoreline and the beaches of the Costa Tropical.

text: What are these people trying to do? I've never been one for conspiracies, but it almost makes you wonder. Here's what Jim Jubak reports in his column dated actually tomorrow: "Let's count the money: In the United States, the Federal Reserve shows M2, the broadest measure of the money supply that the government still tracks, grew at an annual rate of 6.7% from September 2006 to September 2007. That's $465 billion in new money. In Europe, M3, a broader measure of money supply still tracked by the European Central Bank, climbed at an annualized 11.6% rate in August. That's 875 billion in new euros, or about $1.25 trillion U.S., added to the money supply. China, of course, makes everybody else in the world look like models of monetary prudence. M2 in China grew at an 18.5% annual rate in September. That's 6.2 trillion yuan, or about $815 billion U.S., added to the money supply. And I haven't counted Saudi Arabia, Russia and the rest of the oil-producing world, or the new money being created in the other export economies of the developing world." http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/JubaksJournal/5WorldlyStocksToWeatherTheGloom.aspx But I digress: are the bankers really just trying to suck money out of the non-asset holders through the winds of inflation? (That wasn't my best metaphor.) Or are they just trying to avoid problems by "throwing money" at their economies? Or are they all just dumb males who figure if a little is good then a lot has to be better? Has everyone gone mad??

Benalmadena hotels
Just a short transfer from the busy Malaga airport, Benalmadena is an extremely popular tourist resort on the Costa del Sol, particularly amongst the Brits. With almost year round sunshine and a family-friendly vibe this destination is perfect for those looking for a relaxed getaway, and plenty of Benalmadena hotels.
The Hotel Spa Benalmadena Palace is an apartment style hotel just twenty minutes from Malaga airport. The hotel is just 250 metres from the beautiful sandy Benalmadena beach and a short walk from the town centre. The centre of town has a good array of restaurants, bars and shops offering both traditional and tourist gifts and souvenirs and a supermarket for provisions.
The hotel has 182 rooms, all either studio or one bedroom apartments and all with a balcony. The apartments are spacious and clean and provide an excellent base for your visit to the Costa del Sol. You can choose your board basis: self catering, bed and breakfast, half-board and full board at any time of year, and the hotel also offers special packages from time to time. As you would expect there are plenty of facilities: swimming pools, sauna, spa, golf course, kids club and tennis courts to name but a few.To find out more and make a booking, visit the hotel website.
We also really love the Hotel Polynesia, a four-star establishment at the upper end of Benalmadena hotels. There are 318 rooms and 10 suites as well as all the usual amenities that you would expect at a top notch hotel. There is a health club, fitness facilities such as swimming pools,tennis courts and golf courses, a spa with Turkish bath and wellbeing treatments, and a restaurant, bar and lounge. To find out more and make a booking, visit the hotel website.

Gone are the days of business-as-usual tranquility. As today's competitive advantage may be a disadvantage as soon as tomorrow, long-run superior performance calls for non-stop innovation of new value. An agile enterprise must continually change and must even be able to reinvent its core essence in the face of major business discontinuities. There is hardly any business change in which information technology (IT) does not play a role. In contrast, change is increasingly IT-driven. In addition to cost efficiency and reliability of operations, the role of IT as the enabler of organizational agility and innovation is increasing in importance.
However, the prevailing IT mess of large organizations does not readily yield to the ever-changing market needs. Over time, the IT landscape has evolved incrementally and resulted in "integration spaghetti" that is prohibitively difficult and expensive to manage and maintain. The organization is fragile rather than agile. About two thirds of IT projects fail in some important way: time and budget overruns, terminations, or all of these. The economic impact of this problem is at around three billion dollars, or close to 5 per cent of global GDP. As projects are getting bigger and more complex, the number of project failures is actually increasing. Large IT projects are 20 times more likely to fail than large projects in other sectors, such as construction.
What are the reasons for this poor performance of IT? What should be done to improve IT?
The knee-jerk reaction to the increasing cost and pricing pressures is to focus on the operating costs of IT. When IT is seen as a mere cost center, however, the focus is inherently on short-term value realization. Focusing on day-to-day operational reliability and efficiency, only IT projects that are "aligned" with the current enterprise strategy are approved, financed and prioritized.
Such "IT follows business" approach may satisfy all business requirements, but gradually erodes the IT landscape. As a result, the organization falls in an "alignment trap". In fact, cost-focused businesses actually spend more on IT than the industry average, while businesses focused on agility have reduced IT costs. In the face of rapid and unpredictable change, the value of IT comes increasingly from its socio-technical aspect: how technology is used to enable business. When IT is designed and used to engineer value, not only for today, but also for the unfolding future, social questions increase in importance: Do people have the right skills and to carry out their work and enough discretion to make the decisions that are required of them? Do they have enough authority to match what they are accountable for? Are the roles and role relationships clear? How does IT governance address the communication and coordination needs?
Why Should You Attend:
Information Technology (IT) has a fundamental impact in organizations and the society at large: unprecedented computing power, infinity of virtual space and ubiquitous connectivity present an enormous potential to create enterprise effectiveness, increase flexibility and enable entirely new business models. The traditional "IT follows business" approach may have worked reasonably well in the relatively stable and predictable business environments of the past, but it falls increasingly short in the face of today's dynamic markets, where competitive advantage is in a continuous flux. In these turbulent times, IT must redeem its promise as a competitive weapon and determine the way in which business is conducted.
This webinar is well suited for senior IT and business managers in large information-intensive organizations, who think about IT strategically from a business perspective: how to integrate information technology, business strategy and organizational change management into a coherent, systemic whole to enable enterprise agility. The cross-disciplinary research findings and cutting-edge industry practices leveraged in the webinar will provide you with additional insights into the "anatomy of agile enterprise" in a concise and informative format.

Final Project: a Film on Homeless Women
According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, over 700,000 people in the United States are without proper shelter on any given night, and that number is steadily increasing. A lot of those people are women. New York is a great example of a city filled with homeless people. During the tragedy of 9/11 (WTC attack) New York lost nearly 80,000 jobs, and many people have turned to soup kitchens and food pantries. What can be done to diminish this major problem that modern cities encounter? One way to do it is to present this problem on an ethnographic film and call people around the world for their help in the form of money, clothing, food, apartments and offers of jobs to these people.
We decided as a group of 3 students to do an ethnography film on a group of homeless women. We are going to take 2 years to make our film. Our highest purpose on doing this film is to help these women in various ways. We also want to offer a different perspective on the people who are often referred to as "vagrant," "beggar" and "bum." if there could be a little less hatred directed at people in the street, because of our film, that would make a huge difference.

Reading this interesting new book by Melbourne sound artist Jordan Lacey – which I'll write about a bit more soon. I came across the concept of 'hi-fi' and 'low-fi' soundscapes as conceived of in the field of acoustic ecology. Here's the definition of the distinction by Barry Truax:
Situations where signal detection is difficult or impossible may be termed 'lo-fi' environments, by analogy to electroacoustic signals of poor quality, high noise, and distortion. The complementary situation, the 'hi-fi' environment, is one in which all sounds may be heard clearly, with whatever detail and spatial orientation they may have. Such an environment is, by definition, balanced and well 'designed'. (Truax, quoted in Lacey, 2016, p. 36)
I think this is a nice distinction for thinking about contrapuntal construction even in traditional concert music settings. Certain parameters affect this dimension more than others: spatial separation on stage, register, and timbre in particular, but just about all other parameters can contribute to whether the counterpoint is 'hi-fi' or 'low-fi' (that is, whether you can neatly distinguish sonic 'lines' or whether they are confused and blurred). The opening of my a new day in the desert is definitely more of a 'low-fi' kind of construction, as are the rapid sections of Si el clima, whereas the 'feudal' sections of that work, and most of braneworlds, are considerably more 'hi-fi'. These days I lean towards hi-fi constructions, and I feel they are the basis of contrapuntal thinking, because (as a rational method of construction) they distinguish between sonic objects and therefore a clear logic of interrelation can be established. On the other hand, low-fi situations are also very relevant to contrapuntal logic, insofar as they may result from a bringing closer together (in the topological sense) of musical objects and rendering indistinct previously established (in the logical, and not necessarily temporal/formal, sense) musical identities. It's an important textural dimension to explore, with strong affective implications.
This also points to the fact that while all parameters are relevant to the determination of identity and difference in a work (and therefore its counterpoint), and all can be structured in this way, parameters are not all equal in their effects and weighting in perception: parameters have different functions on the musical discourse. Parameters are not abstract mathematical quanta, but particular material relations, and as real material things, they different from each other in a qualitative sense. They are also interrelated and mutually interdependent in different ways. This is part of what composing contrapuntally – as I understand it – is about exploring.

On my return from Hanoi final month, I viewed a photographical installation in Hing Kong's airport featuring a number of photos of Chinese opera performers, and thought it'd be a fantastic forthcoming project. It would touch all the bases I like: culture, history, music, style, and artistic performances. Maybe I was subconsciously hooked to it right after viewing the well-known movie, Farewell My Concubine.
Chinese opera is a well-known type of drama and musical theatre in China, and elsewhere in Asia exactly where Chinese have established presence, with roots going back to the early periods in China. Together with Greece tragic-comedy and Indian Sanskrit Opera, it really is one of the 3 oldest dramatic art forms in the world.

Did I do the Doge thing right? Probably not. I had a hard time with MSN speak and text shortcuts too. But I tried, that's all that counts, right?
Anyway, like the title of this post suggests…I am going through an [at home] stage of being very mad and frustrated. Why? Because my children, who have always been difficult and frustrating, are even more difficult and frustrating. Food battles and pick up your toy battles are daily occurances for us and have been forever, but I used to tell myself at least they go to bed easy. I knew that 7pm would come. I knew that after stories, teeth brushing and cuddles they would go to bed relatively easy. A "bad" night consisted of Archer coming to the door to whine a few times before giving in to sleep.
I could deal with that. That was easy. Now? It's much worse. The past several nights this week, I've put them to bed only to have them spend the next two hours tearing all the clothes out of their dresser, pulling all the blankets off their beds and terrorizing each other until my hair turns grey and I turn into Banshee Mom. It's not pretty. I have tried everything. I removed the bookshelf from their room. I put them to bed an hour later than usual, thinking they just weren't tired. I laid with Archer and rubbed his head until he was nearly asleep. The moment I came downstairs, he was out of his bed pulling the blankets off of the beds while Nolan got up and tore the clothes out of the dresser. Both were almost asleep when I left. If I leave the piles of clothes on the floor until morning, they stay up even later piling it onto their beds and hiding in clothes forts. I don't get it.
My hair is literally turning grey. I pulled out 7 strands yesterday.
My patience is so thin. And it's not like they give me a break during the day by listening and behaving, no…anything they can do to be bad, they'll do. They fight over toys and refuse to pick them up. They drop their food on the ground and won't clean it willingly. They used to listen better, they used to put their garbage in the garbage, clear their plates after meals and they used to help with chores and go to bed easy.
I blame winter. My kids never want to play outside (unless I force them and believe me I have). In the warmer months, we go to parks and for walks all the time. It's harder in the winter. It's cold, the cold affects my bones and their bones. Frequent trips outside just don't happen like they do during the warmer months.
So why am I blogging about this, anyway? I have no solution, no "how to deal". I have no "zen like mom" stories to share…just my Banshee Mom confession. Usually, people don't blog about the difficult parts of their life, at least not without a "how to fix it all" mindset. I'm mostly just blogging about it, letting it explode out of my head in the hopes that someone will have a solution or some insight for the night time nightmare.
Today, even though my kids have been nonstop arguing and doing bad stuff, I plan on taking them to an indoor playground. They need to burn off energy and I need to give them that outing to remind them that there is still fun things we can do in the winter months to get out of the house. I also need leverage. You know, "if you do your chores and get along we can go to the indoor playground again!"
On a related note…is there a wine club I could join?

Google customers launch class action suit over privacy policy
Google customers are suing the search company over claims they were deceived by its new privacy rules
Google customers are suing the search company over claims they were deceived by its new privacy rules.
Google's revised privacy policy merge separate rules for about 60 services into one, combining users' personal data across its products and services.
Infographic: GDPR - The State of Play
Get the latest information on how GDPR is going to affect your business and how to avoid any unwanted fines with this simple infographic.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
The class action suit represents people who held Google accounts and mobile phones running the Google Android operating system from August 2004 until after 1 March 2012, when the new privacy policy went into effect, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Manhattan, seeks financial compensation for the alleged deception and alleged violation of the Computer Fraud Abuse Act and Stored Electronic Communications Act.
Announcing the planned move in January, Google said the revised privacy policy would provide a simpler, more streamlined experience for users.
At the time, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) expressed concern that the changes could erode user privacy and lower privacy standards.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) said Google's disclosure – that it will track what users do across all Google-owned services – comes across more like a confession than a bold new move.

I would not normally bother to dignify this sort of comment with a response but I feel you are really missing something here.
It is a shame if this has been your experience of every motorhome that has ever visited Conil but I sincerely doubt this is actually the case.
We have been on the road for three months now and have met a considerable number of motorhomers who have, without exception, contributed in some way to the towns and economies in which they stop and who have demonstrated great care and concern for their surroundings.
If towns like Conil are foresighted enough to provide clearly signed spaces where motorhomes can park - even if it is only for low season - and ideally some basic facilities (ie a tap and a drain), people will not park anywhere which is obstructive or a nuisance for the local community and their presence will benefit it.
Although we were clearly not welcome to stop overnight, far from freeloading, we shopped in your supermarkets (including, incidentally, buying drinking water since you raise that as a particular grievance), bought petrol in your petrol station, visited your tourist office and therefore contributed towards the continuing employment of the people of your town. Had we felt welcome to stop in your town somewhere, your cafes, bars and small shops would have also benefited from our custom, as Tarifa's did later in the week
Before making comments like this, you would be wise to consider that the people who are currently in this part of Europe, at this time of year, in motorhomes, are those who live in them for 6+ months of the year, who will stay for while in places where they are made welcome and who, having retired or otherwise found a way to fund this lifestyle long term, also have money to spend. Money which the local community would not otherwise benefit from in low season when there are few other tourists.
Given that, as has been reported in the news only yesterday, Spain is the only major economy in Europe still in recession, I would have thought that you would be making every effort to welcome to your town, people who will contribute towards your country's economic recovery.
I don't know you, I don't wish to start a flame war with you and I will not enter into any further discussion with you but I think you should reconsider your opinion of motorhomes and the positive impact they have on your town or, at the very least, get to know some of the people who live in them, before making comments of this nature.

In response to 'anonymous' of Conil
With love for now from Becky, Will and Jules on Friday, February 12, 2010
1 comment:
Well said! Conil is normally a very friendly welcoming town. We have stayed there on a campsite and now spend our winters in Zahora, just up the road from El Palmar. The council put the "no motorhomes" signs up last year for the first time but some people still wild camped for the odd night - mostly Dutch and German. We like to be on a site mainly for security reasons. If you stay long ter as we do they are very reasonable!ReplyDelete
Fantastic blog - glad you enjoyed your travels!

There may be a new way to improve weather forecasts. Scientists have found that the key to a better prediction may actually lie within examining the soil.
Precipitation and temperature are the part of every weather forecast. Precipitation comes from clouds, clouds are formed of airborne water vapor, and vapor comes from evaporating soil moisture. This means that soil moisture, in particular, governs precipitation.

Ever more medical students are entering the workforce with enormous debt, making it a challenge to inspire them to become the pediatricians or physician-scientists who will generate new clinical and research that benefits. These traditionally lower-paying positions may be ignored, simply out of financial necessity.
This comes at a time when the total number of students being admitted to medical schools is restricted despite a burgeoning population of children in need of care.
With proper financial support, however, recent medical school graduates can choose to become pediatric clinicians who are skilled in the latest diagnostics and therapeutic tools or caregivers and researchers who are passionate about improving pediatric healthcare and technologies.
Supporting their training and helping to sustain their continuing work as researchers, scientists and physicians will keep the world of pediatric healthcare moving forward.
Learn about our promising physician/researchers and the work your gift would support ›

One third of the staff of the Presidential Administration will be cut. The corresponding decree was signed on February 13 by Alexander Lukashenko.
It is expected that this measure will make the work of the main political headquarters of the head of state more efficient.
In particular, the institute of presidential assistants is being reformed. Two new posts are introduced.
The assistants will be in charge of two different directions. The first is the legislative and judicial and the second is the credit and financial one.
In addition, the scope of the powers of the President's press secretary has been expanded.
The need to optimize the structure was raised by the head of state at the beginning of last week.
Alexander Lukashenko is sure that only those who want to work and benefit the country should remain in this structure. As the main political headquarters of the head of state, the Presidential Administration is tasked with accumulating the most advanced ideas and being a powerful ideological center, where staff will have the necessary knowledge and work as a team.

Einstein (BRZ)
Ellen Parker
What is it about a black or almost black horse? Is it the Black Beauty thing? Maybe the Black Stallion lore? Either way, the chocolate-
We find it hard to think of him as a real Brazilian since he's Buckpasser line via Kentucky Derby winning Spend A Buck and is out of a mare by a Lyphard sire. His second dam is by French-
The bottom line is this horse is bred right to the stars but we wonder how many Americans are going to appreciate him. He's spot-
His own family is far-
Ghadeer, his broodmare sire, is bred on the same Northern Dancer/Fair Trial/Quick Change cross as Danzig, which might be worth a try provided it's a tougher Danzig like Langfuhr. And because of Spend A Buck's No Robbery cross we would love to see some Never Bend thrown his way, which would also add more *La Troienne via Bimelech.
Einstein carries absolutely no Raise a Native and only one Northern Dancer cross. This is one of the reasons he took his time to mature. Remember that the very thing which gives us precocity also gives us fragility and that the latter tends to trump the former most of the time.
Thus Einstein, absent these fragile lines, did not race at two and only three times as a sophomore. Once he got going, though, he raced through the age of seven and won five Grade I races. He won GI or G2 races on turf, synthetic and regulation dirt tracks. Translation: Give them some time and they will be able to handle anything you throw at them for as long as you want them to do it.
He started at Adena where "different horses" are often tried out – thus sires like Giacomo (now in Oregon), Running Stag (since sent to Korea), Milwaukee Brew (Canada) and Foxtrail (to Canada where he died) were at least given a chance. Einstein follows this pattern and we can't help but think that perhaps Frank Stronach likes an occasional outcross to go with his Sadler's Wells (El Prado, though he was hardly typical) and Deputy Minister (Awesome Again and Touch Gold) blood.
Even in California Einstein is in a position to do something really remarkable. All anyone has to do is open his mind. That of course has always been the challenge. If he isn't given a sufficient opportunity, he will be one of our last chances for this blood. We beg you not to let it die.

email@example.com (meteor Blades) · Thursday, March 30, 2017, 5:24 pm
The Trump regime is proving more aggressive than the Obama administration when it comes to military engagement. In the words of a front page headline in The New York Times Thursday, "U.S. War Footprint Grows in Middle East, with No Endgame in Sight." Not just the Middle East, but also Africa, and Afghanistan, where the United States has now been at war for 15 years, America's longest war unless the Indian wars of 1787-1890 are counted.
What the larger footprint consists of are loosened rules on airstrikes and additional troops. The increase in troops has been small. For example, 300 Marines are being sent to Afghanistan, where they will join the 8,400 Americans and 5,924 NATO troops already there. Some 400 troops are being sent to Syria, another 200 to join the 5,000 in Iraq, where, Pr*sident Trump noted Tuesday, "our soldiers are fighting like never before." That would be news to 2 million soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors who served in the Iraq war, and in which 4,500 were killed.
It should also be noticed that those troops aren't supposed to be fighting at all, but rather training Iraqis and Kurds, and engaging in combat only incidentally in self defense.
The expansion of airstrikes has been large, with more attacks—38—deployed against al-Qaida in Yemen in the first few days of March than in any year of Obama's two terms. For the whole month so far, there have been 49 U.S. airstrikes in Yemen.
Trump has quickly greenlighted attacks that the Obama administration sometimes pondered for weeks. And he has shown little concern for the growing numbers of civilians killed in such attacks. Indeed, he's relaxed the airstrike rules meant to protect Somali civilians. And while he is keen on using the military, it's not being supported by constant diplomacy unlike what was done under Obama. Based on his proposed boost in military spending and slashing of the State Department budget, Trump's priorities are clear, and civilian deaths aren't high up the list.

As I have been getting so bored, I also decided to offer my services to a local organisation called Wide Bay Volunteers. I had hoped to find some IT work, but didn't really hold much hope for that locally so I imagined I would end up just doing some sort of retail work. Amazingly though the previous day they had just been discussing about updating their Web Site, so now I have that job on a Volunteer Basis. And looking at their Web Site, I'm sure I can better it almost immediately... LOL! http://www.widebayvolunteers.org.au/

I would like to become safer and more varied in dealing with the i-pad. Moreover i`d like to integrate it more than up to now in the lessons , because the students work more independently, more motivated and with fun.
However, I must admit that I access in my fields still often on mac books, because I do not have W-lan in all classrooms. But I hope, this soon changes, because the Mac-books are clearly heavy!
At least I would like to get to know more apps, thanks for some ideas!

Tomato Pie, a Creamy Southern Treat
By Veronica Gantley
6/26/2014 (3 years ago)
My Catholic Kitchen (www.mycatholickitchen.com)
When the first glorious vine ripened homegrown tomatoes appear in my garden, I get excited! I know that it is Tomato pie time, and soon I will be enjoying thick slices of this creamy Southern Treat.
Yummy tomato pie is sure to please the whole family.
By Veronica Gantley
My Catholic Kitchen (www.mycatholickitchen.com)
6/26/2014 (3 years ago)
Published in Home & Food
Keywords: tomato, pie, cheese, basil, southern, treat.
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA - This recipe is best served when tomatoes are at the height of season. Those hot house varieties you get in the grocery store will not do. If you grow your own garden, or have neighbors who have blessed you with the excess of their bounty, you should give this recipe a try.
Tomato Pie
4 tomatoes
1/2 cup basil leaves
1/2 cup chopped vidalia onion
1 deep dish pie shell store bought or homemade
1 cup Monterrey jack cheese grated
1 cup cheddar cheese grated
1 cup Greek style yogurt
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
DIRECTIONS:Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Using a fork, poke holes in the bottom of your pie plate. (This is called docking) Place in to a preheated oven and allow to cook for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
While your pie shell is cooking, slice tomatoes thinly and layer in a colander in your sink. Sprinkle with salt and allow to drain while your shell is cooking. You can also dab the tomatoes with a paper towel to get some of the excess water off of them. This is an important step because if you do not get most of the liquid out the bottom of your pie, it will be soggy.
Remove the pie plate from the oven. Allow it to cool while you make the topping. Combine the two cheeses and yogurt in a medium bowl.
Layer the tomatoes, basil and onion in the pie shell. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread your cheese and yogurt mixture on top of the tomatoes and allow to cook for 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
Serve hot.
