So lovely
I've got another pretty card for you this morning. I really do love the saturated canary stamps and wanted to play along with the current challenge which is to use the image 'lovely'. I coloured the image in with promarkers and layered it on papers from my stash. the flowers are from wild orchid crafts and the dew drops I brought from a store which was closing down.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

In Reply to: HEY NICK! Well it's not warm here, but I don't posted by ChewToy on October 08, 2000 at 11:29:02:
drive the M3 when the climate is really cold. I live in louisville ky where the winters are mild typically, but the air is still very very cold. I have a camry for those days :) but I'm still curious about my coolant low situation. I know that my installer zip tied my sensor. What other options did he have? Is this going to cause a problem?? I started my m3 yesterday and it was pretty chilly outside, my engine almost died! It hesitated for about 3-4 seconds with a really really low idle, I thought it was going to just die on me, then it came up to the right idle and was ok from then on. I'm wondering if I need to have that sensor reinstalled. Opinions??

The latest from Chicago based producer Different Sleep (Rafa Alvarez) has a new album out. Conflict is a four track EP ,released through the Friends of Friends label , is a journey in the realms of instrumental hip hop, EDM, and ambient music.
" The Conflict EP is a testament to the concept of heartache resulting in the creation of ideas that could only be evoked during emotional turmoil (these songs were written when my girlfriend moved away to a different city and our relationship came to an end). When you've invested so much time and energy into someone and you have to watch them go, you feel wasted, torn apart, barely attached by the shreds of memories that remain. These are the times when you feel the most susceptible to your darkest thoughts.
Even though these times of your life may be the most difficult, there is something beautiful captured within these moments of struggle."

Ubisoft Executive Reacts To Nintendo Switch Price
Two Nintendo Switch topics that have garnered some discussion include the hybrid console's price and launch lineup, with some saying the price is too high and the launch titles too few.
Now, Ubisoft executive Xavier Poix has weighed in on those topics and others. In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Poix first responded to the suggestion that the Switch, priced at $300, might not be appealing to anyone except core gamers.
"Today, people are spending €800 on the new iPhone," he said. "It shows that people are eager to spend more money than previously on very high end, interesting new things that they can carry with them."
Poix added: "I'm not saying it wouldn't be better at a cheaper price, but I think we can count on Nintendo making sure that the software that will be linked with Switch will be more and more interesting."
There are no bundled games with the Switch, in part because Nintendo wanted to keep the price down, Reggie Fils-Aime told GameSpot in an interview last week. The system comes with one pair of Joy-Con controllers, while extra sets can be purchased for $80.
On the subject of the Switch's launch lineup, which includes five games compared to 23 for the Wii U, Poix said, "With the Wii U, there were many titles at launch which lacked the quality to engage the player." For the Switch, Poix said he believes Nintendo has taken a smart approach in focusing on quality at launch and then releasing additional can't-miss games on a regular basis.
"Nintendo's strategy is to have a portfolio of strong games that will be released month after month, which I think is a good strategy," he said.
In a separate interview, Fils-Aime said the Switch's launch lineup is "not the be-all and the end-all."
Also in the GamesIndustry.biz interview, Poix talked about why Ubisoft is bringing Steep to the Switch and not some of its bigger-name open-world games like Watch Dogs 2 or The Division.

Employment Law
Employment Lawyers Can Answer Your Employment Law Questions
Hello, my name is XXXXX XXXXX it is my pleasure to assist you with your question today. When were you dismissed?
I was suspended on 23rd December 2013 and then at a hearing on 17th February at which this councillor still refused to admit what he knew and the councillors taking the hearing did not want to hear anything said about it, they just glossed over it.
It will be rather difficult to make a direct claim against the person and your main action would be against the employer and the dismissal. To claim against the councillor you could have considered defamation if he had made an untruthful statement about you, but if he simply refused to answer questions or provide details then that is not going to qualify, it is only if he had made actual statements that were untrue would you have a leg to stand on. Even then, claims for defamation are very complex and expensive, you are easily looking at a five-figure sum for legal fees and there would be a lot of uncertainty, where even if you win there is no guarantee the person would be able to pay the compensation ordered. So this could end up in you spending an awful lot of money for nothing and making the situation even worse for yourself. I don't want to give you false hope to go down that route so this is my honest and professional opinion on it.
So it means the main issue would be to do with the employer and whether they followed a fair procedure and whether they could justify the dismissal as being fair.
Legally, misconduct is a common reason for taking disciplinary action and it is also a potentially fair reason for dismissal under the Employment Rights Act 1996. It could be a single act of serious misconduct or a series of less serious acts over a period of time.
In order to justify that dismissal on grounds of misconduct was fair, the law requires that the employer:
In addition, the employer is expected to follow the ACAS Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures. Altogether, it means that a disciplinary procedure should be conducted as follows:
1. Investigation - a reasonable investigation is needed. What is reasonable depends entirely on the circumstances and especially the nature and seriousness of the allegations. The more serious these are, the more detailed the investigation needs to be.
2. Disciplinary hearing - if the investigation provides sufficient evidence of misconduct, the employee may be invited to attend a formal disciplinary hearing. They must be given prior notice of the hearing, including details of the allegations, allowing them time to prepare. They have the legal right to be accompanied at the hearing but only by a trade union representative or a colleague.
3. Decision and penalty - following the disciplinary, if the employer holds a genuine belief that the employee was guilty, then they can go ahead and dismiss. When deciding on whether dismissal is appropriate, the employer should consider the nature and seriousness of the offence and the employee's length of service and disciplinary record. They also need to act with a degree of consistency if other employees have previously been disciplined over similar issues. Unless the offence was one of gross misconduct, ACAS recommends that the employee should be issued with a written warning.
In summary, an employer is not expected to prove that the alleged misconduct had definitely occurred. Disciplinary action will be fair if the employer can show that it had conducted a reasonable investigation, followed a fair procedure and held a genuine belief that the employee was guilty. Finally, it must show that the penalty was a reasonable action to take in the circumstances and one that a reasonable employer would have taken.
If there are any doubts or evidence that the above requirements have not been satisfied, an appeal can be submitted to the employer straight after the disciplinary outcome is communicated. If the appeal is rejected a claim for unfair dismissal can be made in the employment tribunal. The time limit to claim is 3 months from the date of dismissal and the claimant needs to have at least 2 years' continuous service with that employer.
Thank you for your help, if I had lots of money I would take them to court as I believe matters were handled very badly. I had 20 years service with them and it really was just a case of my face not fitting anymore. To be honest having sixteen employers who change every four years has been quite a challenge and I have probably done very well to survive for so long.

This post from September, 2009 examined the dance marathon craze during the depression.
Alma Cummings started the dance marathon craze after outlasting six partners in 1923. Spectators were charged admission and the winners would receive a cash prize.
The marathons would become grueling tests of endurance for the participants trying to outlast the other couples. Attendants at the scene would try to keep the contestants awake by dabbing wet towels on their faces.
The contestants would be allowed a 15 minute break every hour. The contests sometimes would last for days, weeks and even months and the craze was memorialized in the movie They Shoot Horses, Don't They?.
They were not required to dance continuously but had to be in a dancing position to keep from being disqualified. There has been reports of the marathons being fixed by the promoters but I can't see how they could prevent a local from winning the contest if they had the power to stay awake longer…

Here are a few things that I probably should do...but probably won't...
Keep on top of the ironing.
Drink less wine.
Spend more time alone. Not much of an "alone time" person though, could be a problem.
Clean more.
Sleep more.
Sort out the Christmas lights on the tree. I may be a "strong independent woman" but shit me sometimes you just need a man for things like this.
Sleep some more.
Watch more "arty" films.
Write one of those posts of substance. I have it in here somewhere, it's fighting to get out but having the strength to let it pour out my fingers is another thing though...
Eat less chocolate.
Write up the million posts I have in drafts.
Take more pictures. Sorry guys.
Do this.
I am thinking doing this and tears go hand in hand...but I will do this tomorrow night.
And now my words have well and truly stopped. Sorry guys. My day has really just been that bad.
Send hugs!

Chapter 8
Happy Birthday, Sweet
"Hey. When are you coming home?" asked Tommy.
"For what?" asked CJ, holding his cellular phone closer to his ear.
"Damn, homie, you don't remember? Sweet's birthday's today, dude!"
"Oh, fuck! I forgot all about it! What are you guys gonna do for him?" asked CJ.
"Aw, nothing much. We're just gonna have a party for him. You know, presents, barbecue, stuff like that. If you leave San Fierro right now, you could still make it over here."
"Good idea, man. I'll do that." said CJ.
"Later, homie." Tommy hung up and the line went dead.
"Who was that?" Jay asked CJ.
"It was Tommy. Today's Sweet's birthday, man! With all this shit goin' on everywhere, I forgot it was today!" CJ cried. He felt pretty disappointed in himself for forgetting his own brother's birthday.
"We better get back to Los Santos then. We'll take a break from this cop stuff for a while." Jay suggested.
"Great, thanks. I knew you'd understand." CJ said, relieved.
"Sure. The arms dealer can wait."
After taking a quick nap, CJ and Jay got back to Los Santos that afternoon.
"Hey, you should get Sweet something." Jay said.
"You're right. Let's go to Pro-Laps." CJ suggested. "They've got some tight jackets there."
"No problem."
Jay pulled into the parking lot and stopped the car.
"You coming?" asked CJ as he stepped out.
"Nah, you go ahead. I'm gonna try to get some rest." answered Jay.
"Ok, that's cool. I'll be out soon."
CJ stepped into the sports store and looked around. He spotted the jacket he had been planning to buy and he took it from the shelf. CJ went over to the counter and placed the jacket down. The cashier on duty, an attractive twenty-something year-old brunette, smiled warmly at CJ as he looked up. CJ smiled back casually, too busy to notice the girl's awestruck gaze.
As CJ made his purchase, a Balla entered the store. He pretended to check out the shoes as he fiddled around in his coat pocket, looking for something. He pulled out the picture, and then looked at the man at the counter. He nodded. That's him, the Balla thought. Carl Johnson.
CJ exited the store and walked to Jay's Stinger. He rapped on the door and Jay woke up groggily. He reached back and unlocked the car door.
"You find anything?" Jay asked, as CJ got in.
"I found this Dribblers jacket. Sweet's favorite team. I hope he likes it."
"Damn, lighten up. Stop worrying so much about the party. They'll all be happy to see you."
"Yeah, you're right."
As they were talking, the Balla exited the store. He was just in time to see Jay back out of his parking spot and bump into the purple Tahoma next to him.
"Oops." Jay muttered.
CJ glanced into the rearview mirror and saw a man in a purple jacket running towards the car Jay had hit. The man knelt down and felt the dent on his car, checking the extent of the damage.
"Sorry, man. I'll gladly take car of the damages." Jay offered.
"Motherfucker!" the man yelled, pointing his gun at Jay. CJ and Jay both retaliated, pulling their own guns. The Balla, realizing that he was outnumbered, ran up to the front of his car, tugged the door open, and jumped in.
"This isn't over, Carl Johnson!" he cried vengefully as he drove off. "I'll be back, motherfucker!"
"Whatever." CJ muttered, as he placed the jacket in the backseat. He went up to the passenger's side, flung open the door, and took his seat.
"Hey, Sweet!" CJ called, as he approached Sweet's house.
Sweet left the barbecue and went to greet CJ and Jay. It was nighttime, and everyone was at the grill, which was standing right next to Sweet's house. Kendl and Cesar were grilling steaks, and Fat Joe, Tommy, Spike and Robert Jackson were tossing a football around.
"How've you been, bro?" Sweet asked, as he embraced CJ.
"I'm fine, man. How are you?" CJ replied.
"I'm good. I've just been taking care of shit while you were away. You know, taking out the base pushers, keeping the Ballas and Vagos away." Sweet turned his attention to Jay.
"What's been happenin' with you, man?"
"Nothing much, Sweet. CJ and I have been checking out that bombing at Caligula's."
"Oh yeah. How's that going?" asked Sweet.
"It's pretty good. We have a few leads." said Jay.
"A few leads?" CJ asked jokingly.
Jay rolled his eyes. "Fine. We have one damn lead. The bastard's hiding out in Las Brujas."
"Hey!" Cesar called, interrupting the conversation. "Steak's ready!"
CJ, Jay, and Sweet ran to Sweet's front lawn and sat at the picnic table Kendl had set up. Fat Joe, Tommy, and Spike took seats too. Cesar and Kendl brought the food to the table, and then they too, took their seats. CJ handed Sweet his birthday present.
"Hope you like it, bro. I know they're your favorite team." CJ told him.
Sweet's face lit up with a big smile that CJ hadn't seen in years. He got up and took his new jacket into the house.
The gang had barely begun to eat when suddenly, two pairs of headlights shone in the distance from under the Grove Street overpass. The cars came in, and everyone was shocked to see that they were being driven by Ballas. The two cars stopped in the center of the cul-de-sac, and four Ballas emerged from each.
"Oh, shit!" cried Cesar, jumping up from the bench. The Ballas rushed CJ and his friends, shooting at them the whole time. Fat Joe tipped the picnic table over, intending for his friends to use it as a shield. Kendl was the first to take cover. She crouched behind the makeshift shield and covered her head. The rest of the gang took out their guns and traded gunfire with the Ballas. Sweet emerged from his house, wielding an SMG, and began to fire wildly upon the Ballas' cars. Both cars exploded, taking out a total of three unfortunate Ballas. Sweet's gun clicked empty and he flung it away, onto the grass. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang was taking cover behind cars, houses, fences-whatever they could find.
Robert, who was crouched behind Sweet's Greenwood, happened to look up at the overpass. A lone Balla was running along the side of the overpass. He stopped and turned to face the railing. Then, to Robert's horror, the Balla took out an RPG and aimed it at the battle going on below.
"RPG!" Robert called frantically. Everyone dove out of the way at Robert's command. The missile whizzed over Cesar's head and exploded against the fence behind him. The fence exploded in a shower of flaming splinters, which rained down into the aqueducts below.
"Holy shit!" Cesar exclaimed in disbelief.
Up on the overpass, the Balla swore angrily and reloaded his missile launcher. CJ scrambled away from his spot and ran around to the back of his house. He emerged in a few minutes clutching a sniper rifle, which he had hidden away in a hole behind his house. CJ knelt next to Robert and trained his sniper scope on the Balla. He fired once, and the bullet smashed into the Balla's chest. He was only able to grab at his chest for a second before he dropped dead from the overpass onto the street below. The rocket launcher came with him. It struck the ground and discharged a shell at the rest of the Ballas, killing two of them. Now, only two Ballas were left. They glanced at each other nervously, then took off, sprinting down the street. CJ started after them, but Sweet restrained his brother.
"Fuck 'em, CJ. If they know what's best for themselves, they ain't gonna do shit." Sweet declared.
"You're right." CJ agreed.
"Come on, guys." said Jay. "Let's get inside before anything else happens."
At the sound of Jay's voice, a helicopter rose up from the aqueducts. It hovered forward and hung over Sweet's house. The co-pilot reached under his seat and produced an enormous gatling gun.
"Oh, shit!" exclaimed CJ. "Motherfuckers got themselves a 'bird!"
"Everyone, get the fuck down!" Sweet cried, noticing the large gun in the co-pilot's arms.
Everyone dropped to the ground and covered their heads as chaingun fire rained down. Bullets pelted cars, buildings, and anything else unlucky enough to be in their path.
"It's a goddamn war zone!" yelled Robert, to no one in particular. He was hiding behind the wooden picnic table.
"CJ, where's that sniper rifle?" demanded Sweet, who was hiding in the bushes.
"I hid it underneath your car!" CJ replied.
Suddenly, the gunfire stopped. The giant gun had overheated and the two Balla pilots were waiting for it to cool down. Sweet took this brief pause as a chance to retrieve the sniper rifle. Still lying on his stomach, he scrambled out of the bushes and crawled to his car as fast as gravity would allow. He reached underneath and removed the rifle. Then, Sweet stood up and raised the rifle up towards the helicopter. He aimed at the pilot, and with one quick shot, the pilot was dropped out of the cockpit. With no one to control it, the helicopter sank like a stone to the ground below. The dazed co-pilot crawled out of the wreckage, coughing. In front of his face were two pairs of shoes. One of the shoes flung out and hit the Balla square in the face, knocking him backwards. CJ and Sweet reached down, grabbed the Balla and hauled him into Sweet's house. They sat him down on a wooden chair in the kitchen.
"Hey, Sweet, hand me Gramps' gun." CJ said, tying the Balla down to the chair.
Sweet walked over to a shelf on the wall. On the shelf sat a glass case, and in the case was an old Colt six-shooter. Sweet carefully removed his grandfather's old gun from the box, along with a pack of bullets. He took them over to CJ.
"Oh no, Sweet, I don't need all the bullets. Just one."
Sweet removed a single bullet from the box and loaded it into the chamber. He tossed the gun to CJ and grinned.
"Oh, hell no." the Balla said, catching on to CJ's idea. "Oh no, not that!"
CJ spun the chamber of the gun a few times and aimed it at the Balla's face.
"Ever play Russian Roulette?"
Meanwhile, the rest of the group was waiting impatiently outside.
"What are they doing in there?" asked Kendl.
"I think they're interrogating the Balla." answered Jay.
"How are they gonna make him talk?" asked Fat Joe, joining in on the conversation.
"Let's go see." suggested Jay.
With that, the whole group ran over to the kitchen window and peered into the house.
"You tell us what you know, and I won't have to shoot you." proposed CJ. "Ok?"
The Balla spat on CJ's shoe defiantly. "Fuck you, Grove Street bitch."
CJ pulled the trigger. The gun clicked empty.
"Got lucky that time, fool. Let's go for one more try."
The Balla shook his head.
CJ pulled the trigger again. Nothing happened.
"2 out of 6. Ready for another one?"
Sweat dripped down the terrified Balla's face. Somehow, he managed to hold his composure.
"F-f-f-fuck you." he stammered.
CJ pulled the trigger.
"Damn, nigga, you got some luck on your side. 3 shots left. Still wanna risk it?"
"Ok! Ok!" the Balla finally agreed. "I'll tell you everything."
"Fucking finally!" Sweet cried, half a Saltine cracker in his hand.
"Can anybody see what's going on?" asked Robert, trying to get a good look inside.
"They just cracked him." answered Jay. "Looks like they were playing some good ol' Russian Roulette."
"Ah. That's never fun." said Robert.
"Listen, guys." interrupted Kendl. "You hear that?"
A few blocks down the street, a vroom-vroom sound could be heard.
"What is that?" asked Tommy.
"Sounds like cars, ese." said Cesar.
"Or motorcycles." Spike chimed in.
Four PCJ-600s pulled into Grove Street, and the group got a good look at the drivers.
"Shit! It's those bustas from earlier! And they brought friends!" cried Fat Joe.
"So you were working for the Forellis?" Sweet asked.
"Yeah. Some Forelli dude hired us, said he wanted us to clear out the "opposition". He knew who you were, Carl. He wanted you out of his way before he took over Los Santos." the Balla answered.
"Take over Los Santos? What is this crazy bastard thinking?" blurted CJ. "What else did he say?"
"He didn't say anything else. All he said was to take you out."
"Who else did this guy hire?" asked Sweet.
"Uh, the helicopter guy, and..."
"The guys in the San Fierro candy shop? Did Forelli hire them, too?" asked CJ
"Candy shop? I don't know nothing about candy shop guys. I just told you everything I knew."
"Fine. Sweet, keep an eye on him. I'm going outside." said CJ.
CJ stepped outside and nearly got a bullet in the teeth.
"Holy shit!" he exclaimed, dropping to the ground. He drew his pistol and fired at the nearest Balla. The shot missed and the Balla fired back. CJ dove out of the way and looked around. His friends were all doing their best to hold the Ballas back. Fat Joe, Tommy, and Spike were all shooting from different places. Cesar was hiding behind a house and taking potshots at anyone who dared to get close. Kendl was shooting from behind a car and Robert was firing his Desert Eagle from behind a wall. None of their bullets were making contact with any Ballas whatsoever. CJ leaned up and fired a shot at the closest Balla's arm. He fell to the ground howling, clutching his arm in pain. Spike took this opportunity to shoot a Balla in the head. His head exploded in a fine mist and his body crumpled to the ground. Spike winced at the sight; he never wanted that to happen. Cesar and Kendl stood up at the same time and shot the third Balla three times each. The Balla was knocked backwards with each shot and the last one threw him over a low fence. Now, only one Balla was left, and CJ recognized him as the one from the Pro-Laps parking lot. The Balla turned, leaped onto his bike, and took off down the street. CJ wasted no time in doing the same.
The Balla whooshed down the road, weaving past cars, pedestrians, and street signs. He had no idea where he was going, but he knew that he wanted to get away from this Carl Johnson bastard. If he ever got out of this alive, he would quit gang life and become a shoes salesman. Or maybe a dentist. That's what his mom had wanted him to do.
"Hey!" called CJ, not too far behind. "Stop, man! I just wanna talk!"
"Go fuck yourself!" retorted the Balla as he drove even faster.
CJ paused to think about what the Balla had just told him. Is that even possible, CJ thought?
The Balla turned around and shot at the tires on CJ's motorcycle. The front tire exploded and CJ was thrown off of the bike. The bike spun out onto someone's front yard.
"Shit!" CJ cried. "Shit! Shit! Shit!"
He had just enough time to draw his gun and shoot the tire on the Balla's motorcycle. He too, cursed angrily as he was thrown off his bike onto the train tracks. CJ calmly walked up to the Balla, who was moaning in pain on the ground. He pressed his gun against the Balla's forehead and said, "Bitch, I know you're gonna want this to be easy, so just tell me everything you know."
"Ok." agreed the Balla.
"Ok?" asked CJ, not sure if he had heard correctly. "Just like that? Ok?"
"Hey, you want to know or not?"
"Alright, alright." said CJ, lowering his gun.
"I was hired by the Forellis to kill you. They came to take over San Andreas and they want you out of the way."
"Yeah, yeah, I heard that part already. Anything else?" asked CJ.
"They're the ones who bombed Caligula's."
"Ok, great. Now tell me something I don't know."
"Dammit, man, that's all I know! Oh wait. Did you hear about that arms dealer? The one up in Las Brujas?"
"Unfortunately for you motherfucker, I did." said CJ, bringing his gun back up to the Balla's head. "You wanna tell me something better?"
"Ok! The leader of the Forellis is Sam Forelli. He and his men came from Vice City. They're planning to take over San Andreas, one city at a time. And the arms dealer, the one hiding in Las Brujas? He goes by Drake.
"Drake? Is that a first name or a last name?"
"I don't know. Might not even be his real name at all. But he's very powerful. He's got men all around San Andreas. You would do the Forellis a favor by taking him out."
"Man, I knew you was good for something." CJ said, grinning.
Just then, a loud crack split the air. Blood spurted from the Balla's neck as he was thrown backwards onto the pavement. CJ examined the body, and was shocked to see a large bullet hole in the Balla's throat. CJ knew that this was the work of a sniper rifle. Someone, somewhere, was watching him.

The weekend's five least valuable players: Romo's big friends
Offensive Line, Dallas Cowboys. A lot of attention was focused on Doug Free(notes) (the rare offensive tackle with a rapper's name), who was stepping in for the injured Flozell Adams(notes), but Free wasn't the only guy on the Cowboys line to be treated like a turnstile yesterday. The Vikings recorded six sacks, coming from four different guys, and three of them were by Ray Edwards(notes), who was on the opposite side of the line against Marc Colombo(notes). Tony Romo(notes) didn't have a chance. He was under siege from all angles.
LaDainian Tomlinson(notes), Running Back, San Diego Chargers. We've already talked about LaDainian's shortcomings this morning, but I can't help but think if the Chargers had any kind of a running game to compliment the passing game yesterday, it would've been a different game. Obviously, the Jets defense had a lot to do with this, but if Vincent Jackson(notes) can catch 7 balls for 111 yards, and Antonio Gates(notes) can grab 8 for 93, that's should open up some running lanes. I'm not even asking for a 100-yard game here, but 12 carries for 24 yards? Ick.
Joe Flacco(notes), Quarterback, Baltimore Ravens. Flacco finished the day 20-of-35 for 189 yards and two interceptions, and about half of his completions were dump-offs or screens to Ray Rice(notes). At this level, especially if you don't have a running game to lean on, that's just not going to get the job done. The Ravens were good enough to survive one weak outing from Flacco in the playoffs, but not two.
Mel Gibson, Rogue Cop, "Edge of Darkness." Mel Gibson ... as a cop. Awesome. I'm hoping to go see that in a double feature with a movie where Pat Robertson plays a Haitian earthquake victim.
Billy Davis, Defensive Coordinator, Arizona Cardinals. It's been a rough couple of weeks for Billy Davis. He had to go against Aaron Rodgers(notes) and the Packers, and then take on Drew Brees(notes) and the Saints with significant injuries to his secondary. That's a tough road. Still, though. Ninety points in two games? Seventy, I could see. Ninety ... well, 90's going to get you on this list. I hope it doesn't get you fired.

HOUGHTON, MI-- Researchers at Michigan Technological University are working on a three-year project to better understand how airborne toxins spread.
The Houghton school says the work is funded by a $1.45 million grant from the National Science Foundation and is led by professor Judith Perlinger. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Desert Research Institute and Boston University are among others involved.
The researchers are focusing their work on mercury, PCBs and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which all can move from place to place with atmospheric currents. Together, the pollutants are known as atmosphere-surface exchangeable pollutants, or ASEPs.
Researchers plan to look at where pollutants originate, model the economic impacts in the U.S. and teach an online course about environmental problems.

And thinking back, the game didn't have much to do with aim either. It was actually more like a game of visual tag. All we really had to do was sight someone and yell, "Bang! Got you!"
I can't tell if we counted as imaginative or just stupid.
At first, I was going to make fun of the fact that we couldn't come up with a more inventive name than "Guns", but then as I was comparing it to "paintball" I realized that maybe shooting games just don't need fancy names.
I remember on one particular occasion, we were informed midgame that someone had called animal control on one of our dogs. (Are we starting to sound a bit "Little Rascal"ish yet?) The game stopped and all the players of both teams, dead or alive, came out to set up an "armed" barricade. We hunkered behind bushes and garbage cans, just waiting for anyone to dare try and take this dog.
Again. Imaginative or stupid?
I wonder what would have happened had an actual person shown up. But we never got to find out. Hours passed and eventually moms were yelling from porches. We trickled off with our plastic chromed six-shooters and spared some unsuspecting dogcatcher a story he'd tell his grandkids.
And as I read about these Somali "pirates" , I can't help but see some similarity. 4 guys in a lifeboat versus the U.S. Navy.
Imaginative or...

So Katlyn has not reached fever again today so hopefully it's nothing. We can never be too careful though and have gathered tons of cultures to be on the safe side. On the positive side of things though, Katlyn is feeling great and her little fire cracker personality is starting to shine through again. We saw a lot of smiles today. Her liver enzymes are coming down a lot!! And her counts are all recovering nicely. She will go for an ultrasound in the morning to look at her pancreas. Some of the preliminary culture stuff should be back by end of day tomorrow.

Some knitting:
The back of Inishmore, one full repeat and a couple of rows into the second. I've finished the third (pictures were taken earlier this week, but I just haven't felt like doing anything with them until now.)
Closeup of the sleeve of the Phildar sweater. This was the less shadowy of the two pictures I took. Haven't done a damned thing with it since the picture was taken. The shadowy stitches are pt. d'astrakhan aka blackberry stitch aka trinity stitch.
I've also turned the heel on Mom's sock, and done one repeat of the lace pattern - the same as on my Waving Laces sock. She liked the pattern, so I'm using it, although only on the cuff.

Confirmed: I'd be the worst spy ever
TURBOGUN has a "stealth-based precision platformer" up on Steam Greenlight called Master Spy that's looking for approval, but more importantly, there's a free in-browser demo ahead of a full release in 2014. You should try it out if words like "precision" don't sound overly frightening in the context of platform games centered around not being seen. Failure is practically inevitable here.
The game is broken down into individual rooms, most of which seem to be more about executing your plan of attack than actually solving the "puzzle" of how to traverse the environment safely and swiftly. Even with a cloaking suit, not getting caught is easier said than done.
Even though I tend to be fairly generous on Greenlight, I'm that much more likely to give a thumbs up when there's a playable build available and while Master Spy's trial isn't too extensive, it made enough of an impression on me to write this post. The GIFs helped too, if I'm being frank.

How much more likely would you be to get in a good workout if you had a friend or two to do it with? I know, for me, I'm much more likely, not only to do it, but to do it better. When you work out with friends, chances are you will sweat more, push harder and walk away feeling better. Add a trainer to the mix and you have small group training!
My small group this morning kicked a**! There is nothing better than listening to my group encourage each other. A simple "You can do it", "keep going" or "5 more seconds" can be the difference between a good workout and a GREAT workout!
I encourage you to try it. Find a workout buddy. Be accountable to each other. And most importantly…HAVE FUN!
If you are interesting in joining a small group or if you and a couple of friends would like to start you own, let me know!

MADISON COUNTY MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE,v.MARY GOODPASTURE, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Madison County; the Hon. I.H.
STEEPER, III, Judge, presiding.
Plaintiff, an automobile insurer, filed its complaint for declaratory judgment on December 4, 1968, and the trial court entered its judgment of June 20, 1969, in favor of plaintiff. Defendant, the named insured on the insurance policy in question, has brought this appeal.
On April 11, 1965, defendant was riding as a passenger in her 1964 Thunderbird automobile which was being operated with her permission by John Wright. An accident occurred and defendant suffered personal injuries. At the time of the accident there was in effect an automobile insurance policy written by plaintiff covering the automobile owned by defendant and naming her as the insured.
On September 17, 1965, defendant brought a personal injury action against the driver, John Wright. Plaintiff then commenced the first of three declaratory judgment actions. The first was to determine whether the liability coverage of the policy covered the claim of defendant against the driver and whether the plaintiff owed a duty of defense to the driver.
Judgment was entered on July 28, 1966, in the first declaratory judgment action and the court held:
"1. Madison County Mutual Automobile Insurance Company does not owe a duty to John Wright nor does it have an obligation to defend him in case No. 65-V-665 or in any other case arising from claims brought against John Wright or any other person by May Goodpasture for property damage and personal injuries allegedly sustained by her and resulting from the mishap of on or about April 11, 1965, at which time John Wright was operating a 1964 Thunderbird automobile owned by Mary Goodpasture, the named insured under Policy No. RP18-245-432.
2. Madison County Mutual Automobile Insurance Company does not by virtue of its policy No. RP18-245-432 afford bodily injury liability and property damage liability insurance coverage to John Wright or to Mary Goodpasture on or about April 11, 1965, as a result of an automobile mishap involving her 1964 Thunderbird operated by John Wright, nor is said company liable under said policy to Mary Goodpasture for her said alleged personal injuries and property damage under coverages C and D of said policy."
No appeal was taken from this judgment.
On March 10, 1967, plaintiff filed its second declaratory judgment action to determine whether the insured motorist coverage of the policy afforded coverage to defendant for her claim. On April 16, 1968, the trial court entered its opinion in which it refused to determine the question. No appeal was taken from this judgment.
On or about October 16, 1968, the defendant filed her claim for arbitration under the uninsured motorist coverage of the policy. On October 31, 1968, plaintiff filed an application in the trial court for a stay of arbitration proceedings. On November 14, 1968, the trial court entered an order staying the arbitration proceedings and allowing plaintiff leave to file a complaint for declaratory judgment to determine the question of uninsured motorist coverage.
On December 4, 1968, the third complaint for declaratory judgment was filed. The case was determined on the pleadings and stipulated facts. The trial court rendered its opinion on June 20, 1969, in which it held that:
"1. Madison County Mutual Automobile Insurance Company does not by virtue of its policy No. RP18-245-432 afford uninsured automobile coverage to Mary Goodpasture for her claim of alleged personal injuries which occurred on April 11, 1965, as a result of an automobile mishap involving a certain 1964 Ford automobile insured by said policy.
2. Coverage F [uninsured motorist coverage] of said policy does not apply to the said claim for personal injuries of Mary ...

There was a band playing, and these guys happen to walk by, and as soon as they heard them and saw them, they stopped. They probably stood there like that for 5-10 minutes. I think it's one of my favorite photos from the trip.

Treatment of women in The Decameron
The Decameron is a book consisting of smaller stories, written by Boccaccio. It was written in the Middle Ages. From The Decameron you can learn how women were treated during this time. Women were generally not treated well; even the best treatment they were given would be looked on as bad treatment in today's culture.
The story that showed the best treatment of women was that of Sir Federigo. Federigo fell in love with a women named Monna Giovanni, and spent all his money buying things to try to win her love. Soon after, Monna's husband died; he left all his possessions to his son instead…

If you're anything like us, you never leave home without your smartphone! These days, it functions more more like a little pocket computer than a phone. There are a million different apps out there to keep you entertained, get you fit, organize you, and even help you save money! We decided to narrow down our favorites (aside from the obvious Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Spotify, etc...) to a top ten list. Let me tell you, it certainly wasn't easy!
Top Ten Favorite Phone Apps
1) Waze is a total game changer! It's one of the world's largest community-based traffic and navigation apps. Meaning: You share real-time traffic and road info with other drivers in your area. This is great for morning commutes or vacation traffic. Hellooooo I95!
2) Gas Buddy- Speaking of commuting and vacation traffic...The Gas Buddy app searches for all the gas stations closest to you, maps them out, and helps you find the cheapest fuel!
3) On Kid's Media (Common Sense Media) Helps parents get the full story about movies in the theater, and for rent. You get to see why a movie receved its specific rating since the criteria can range greatly. They also review games, apps, websites, and more!
4) Key Ring- Prepare for another game changer! This app scans and stores all of your rewards cards. No more fumbling with our wallet or overloaded key chain. Why didn't we think of this??
5) Cozi just makes life easier! It stores your grocery list, to-do lists, and family calendar. It's an easy way to keep track of everyone's schedules and activities, all in one place. The best part is that anyone in your family can access and update it!
6) Target's Cartwheel app- Do you shop at Target? Then, you need this app. It allows you to browse for Target coupons and save them all in one place, or you can scan your items' barcodes as you're shopping. Just show your personal barcode at the register and watch the savings add up. Goodbye coupon clipping!
7) InstaCollage - Love all those photo collages you see on Instagram these days? Try InstaCollage! It's a super user friendly way to make collages, frames, and text to your Instagram photos.
8) Yelp- I mean, you can't go wrong with Yelp. Wheather you're in a new town or just want to try something different for date night, Yelp is the go-to for food reviews and menu comparisons.
9) Disney Jr Appisodes - Have to sit in a waiting room with a toddler? Have a long car ride ahead of you? Download a few appisodes, my friend. They're expensivse as far as apps go, but it's so worth it. You can thank me later.
10) RunKeeper- Everyone seems to have a favorite fittness app. We love RunKeeper! It's an awesome way to track all kinds of exercise and set fitness goals. It's very user friendly, too!
*Bonus* We couldn't leave out The Handy Level app. It gets used far more than you would expect!
What apps can you not live without?

HSI thanks the Australian Democrats for service to the environment and animal welfare
Humane Society International (HSI) gives sincere thanks to the Australian Democrats for their exceptional service to environmental and animal protection during their thirty years in the federal Parliament.
It is with enormous regret that HSI farewells Democrat senators Lyn Allison, Andrew Bartlett, Natasha Stott Despoja and Andrew Murray on whom we have so often relied to advocate animal and environmental causes in Parliament.
HSI's conservation and animal protection campaigns have benefited greatly from work the Democrats have done to develop policy, instigate senate enquiries, scrutinise government decision making and expenditure, expose government failings and make crucial amendments to important legislation. HSI particularly commends the Australian Democrats for the 500 amendments they made to Australia's national environmental laws in 1999.
The animal welfare movement will be particularly bereft without Andrew Bartlett's voice in the Parliament.
HSI wishes all the Democrat senators well for the future.

Miscarriage & pregnancy loss
of 5
08/06/2012 at 15:57
Hi there,
I had a scan at 13 weeks and discovered our baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks. We were devestated and opted to wait to see if the miscarriage would happen naturally. I had a small amount of bleeding and another scan the next week and the baby had gone and the sac was misshapen. We were told that it meant that it would happen naturally soon. We had another scan booked for 2 weeks later (the day before yesterday) the sonographer didnt say much just that there was a large sac and we were told to wait for the nurse to come and speak to us.
We waited half an hour or so and the nurse came and took us into a room and explained there was a grape like mass in my womb and we would have to go to see a consultant who had fitted us in there and then.
We went up to see the consultant and she explained that she suspects a molar pregnancy, because there was what looked like a foetus on the first scan it was a partial molar. She then booked me in for the operation to remove the tissue first thing in the morning.
Yesterday after the operation the surgeon came to speak to me and said that she suspects after looking a the tissue that the pregnancy is molar but we have to wait for the results to come back, she sent them as urgent so we should hear something in the next few days.
Has anyone else had a molar pregnancy? What happens next if it is? The doctors were reluctant to say anything they said they didnt want to worry me until they had to, which worries me more.
I feel like i haven't grieved yet, i have a 3 year old son so i haven't cried because i dont want him to see me upset, i feel like ive held it in so long i cant anymore.
I feel empty and worried and in the dark a bit really about whats going on. Sorry i didn't mean this to turn out to be such a long post!

Hi Rainbowshoes. Sorry to hear that this is happening to you. The consultants probably want to have all the results back so that they can talk you though everything and things going forward without causing you undue stress.
Try not to over worry until they come back to you. I'm sure that they'll be able to put you in touch with a support group at the same time.

I was diagnosed with a partial molar last month after an erpknown 11th April. I had had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks, baby measured 10+. I'm currently under the care of charing cross hospital (one of 3 specialist hosps that deal with molar pregnancys). I have blood tests every 2 weeks until I hit negative (below 5). I'm currently at 14. I can't ttc for 6 months after I get negative as the molar tissue can regrow. There's lots of info on charing cross hosp website. X

I am speechless. I'm in the hotel. I may have something to say later.
Donald Young has to be feeling less bad about his loss!
The great thing, for me, is hearing the Canadian announcers. They are much more respectful, kinder, thoughtful. I sort of want to go down to the bar and see what's happening.
I took the elevator down to the bar. The minis were playing games on the TV in our room. The moment I got off the elevator, there was Gasquet and a big entourage. I got nervous. I'm shy! Then I walked to the two bars I know here at the Hilton, I peeked in, no groups of tennis peeps were there. So I gave up. I went back to the lift. Lo and behold, MOYA walked out when I was walking in to go back to my minis. I nearly melted. I behaved, though.
I gave up. I freaked out about Fed's loss all alone. Thinking about my run-ins, all alone.

I finally fell, hook, line, and sinker. It happened when I laid eyes on this Zara soft checked scarf. It was love at first sight and I knew then and there that I needed more plaid in my life. Then there was the Stella McCartney tartan coat. And now my obsession is sort of spiraling out of control. (By the way, Zara has a gorgeous, and more affordable version of the tartan coat, here.)
Maybe it's the season, the holiday spirit and all, or maybe it's that I'm one of the few remaining weirdos who wishes it would get colder so I could actually pretend to dress up in winter-wear (Miami will do that to you!) Either way, I'm hooked.
Get the Plaid + Tartan Pieces: 1. Stella McCartney Tartan Coat // 2. Zara Checked Soft Scarf // 3. Cambridge Satchel 13″ Satchel with Tartan Pocket // 4. alice + olivia Dina Tartan Pumps // 5. Karl Lagerfeld Punk tartan wool mini dress // 6. MADEWELL Ex-Boyfriend Flannel Shirt // 7. FOREVER 21 Classic Plaid Square Scarf // 8. Sea NY Peplum Plaid Shirt // 9.

Weekend, I Prefer the Weekend
This past weekend we took a trip down to Long Beach, the main point of which was for me to see the harbor where all the goods from China arrive on ships. The scale of the operation was amazing. It's the second largest port in the US and they unload over 18,000 semi truck sized containers a day. That's a lot of semi truck sized containers. There's something about how the ships pull in and the cranes start unloading it one by one that makes you ( or maybe just me) feel like this all just *might* be a few thousand guys just playing around like they're 6 years old. I'd imagine that they just hum and whistle all day and that the ship captain makes engine noises with his mouth when he pulls out of the harbor. The one guy who sits up top and works the crane just sort of over-exaggerates moving the gears back and forth randomly and moves his head side-to-side making squeaky crane noises with his mouth, and all the while the containers are magically loaded on the trucks. There's a whole category of jobs that seem to be basically grown up versions of curious hyper 6 year old boys on a Saturday afternoon. Writing computer programs is not one of those jobs. But it's still awesome. I need to go back for a better look and a tour to verifiy that this isn't actually what's going on. Wouldn't that be something. Dayna was really very good about the whole thing for someone who is not...you know...into really big cargo ships. Next time I'll get some pictures.
This weekend I'm planning on visiting the LA central library branch in downtown LA. So if you think pictures of me in slightly wet t-shirts are amazing, wait until you hear my fantastical tales of wonder about microfiche, hot librarians, and the technological marvels of the self checkout machine. Put me and the Dewey Decimal system the same room and you better bring a helmet. And a digital camera. And a laptop with an internet connection so you can write about it, add the pictures you took, and put it up on a website where people you know can read about it.

Chris Ayriss, Hanging Out At The Water's Edge
That is, when you are swimming, the sound of your arm strokes, the beating of your heart, the coldness of the water seems heightened.
Stand onshore and gaze at the water. This gives you one perspective. But stand waist-deep in the water and the same body of water takes on a completely different personality. Start swimming and the water dynamic goes into overdrive. What happened 5 minutes ago, what happened 5 seconds ago means relatively little when you are swimming in the moment. It is a personal experience that is both visceral and instinctive.
When something like swimming is so personal and is felt so deeply within your being, it is a pleasure to read a book and look at photos of others doing the same thing. There is a oneness and camaraderie with those who write exceedingly well about swimming like Lynn Sherr (SWIM - Why We Love The Water)Antonio Argüelles and Nora Toledano (A Cada Brazada: El Azul Interminable).
Chris Ayriss is one of those gifted, passionate writers with a unique talent for composing prose that is inherently meaningful to swimmers. He researched swimming over the course of a decade and subsequently penned Hung Out To Dry, the story of British swimming that delves deeply in its history and social implications.
Hung Out To Dry is a great book for swimmers and those who enjoy viewing society from a specific perspective....from the water's edge.

The Other Shore
The Other Shore follows world record holder and legendary swimmer Diana Nyad as she comes out of a thirty-year retirement to re-attempt an elusive dream: swimming 103 miles non-stop from Cuba to Florida without the use of a shark cage. Her past and present collide in her obsession with a feat that nobody has ever accomplished. At the edge of The Devil's Triangle, tropical storms, sharks, venomous jellyfish, and one of the strongest ocean currents in the world, all prove to be life-threatening realities. Timothy Wheeler's documentary brings Diana Nyad's extraordinary adventure to life as Diana sets out to prove that will and determination are all you need to make the unimaginable possible.
2014 Open Water Swimming Almanac
An Almanac for Open Water SwimmingAn almanac is essentially a body of knowledge which is so complete that it enables people in different fields to make predictions about the future of their respective industries.
This, for example, was the purpose of the traditional farmers almanacs. It enabled farmers to determine as accurately as possible which crops to plant for the greatest harvests in a given year.
But the farmers almanac was just one example among many.
There are, of course, many different kinds of almanacs.
In fact, there is even one for open water swimming...

The trends are very clear.
The tide is rising for open water swimming.

This has nothing to do with getting to the truth of what actually caused the financial melt down. This is pure PR to demonize the free market, the fed, Wall Street and the banks. The goal, of course, is to get more regulations and control over our free market — as we progress on our march to socialism.
We're not really heading towards socialism, it's more akin to a Musolini type facism, or a Soviet styled Communism. Barak Hussein Obama is a hardliner, not a soft socialist. In fact, as religion and religious people in America get more and more marginalized by the media, culture and government, the closer we move towards Communism every day. Stifling Christianity, (not stamping it out), had to occur first because it is the antithesis of Communism. And it really doesn't matter how Christianity gets suppressed and the State becomes the peoples' source of "health and prosperity". All that matters for Communism to conquer a free people is that these things do happen. This is why Obama declared definitively to the world, "America is NOT a Christian nation", (as though that would be an evil thing if it were).
Now, I believe, these things have happened sufficiently enough for the Left to initiate the overthrow of capitalism, that bastion of personal freedom and source of individual prosperity. It's hard to watch America fall apart so quickly, but falling apart we are. The State will continue to increase and freedom will continue to decrease.
It will be interesting to see how the American people will respond once enough of them gain a deeper understanding of what's being forced upon them.

text: Well how does it sounds? Is it even useable, or does it just get real muddy and shake everything to pieces? I'm hoping it would sounds something like this but I'm not sure. I doubt a sub-octave would be the way to get that tone, but I don't know what is. To be more specific, I'm wondering about the MAG300 and MAG400 versions.

Boosting economy through competition, standards and liberalisation
Discovery Reports - Malaysia's Strategic Reform Initiatives
Related topics
Compete or be prepared to be irrelevant. Among the six SRIs, the plan on competition, standards and liberalisation leads Malaysia's bid in becoming a competitive global player.
"Competition, standards and liberalisation were one of the first things that we introduced inside the discussion groups for the SRIs," says Idris Jala, CEO of PEMANDU and minister in the prime minister's department.
Formerly known as international standards and liberalisation, this SRI has been renamed as competition, standards and liberalisation to better reflect competition as its major component.
The SRI has three major areas: the swift implementation of the Competition Act 2010, adoption of international standards and best practices, and liberalisation of the services sector. From plan to practice, the first half of the year saw the smooth implementation of these initiatives.
Competition Act 2010
The Competition Act seeks to prevent anticompetitive agreements such as price fixing, market sharing, bid rigging and limiting or controlling production. It also deters abuse of a dominant position or monopoly such as unfair and predatory pricing, bundling and refusal to deal. After the act took effect in January this year, the government followed up with the necessary structures to implement it.
The Malaysian Competition Commission (MyCC), which is tasked to enforce the provisions of the new law, released for public consultation in May the draft guidelines on abuse of dominant position. This release follows the publication of three guidelines on market definition, anti-competitive agreements and complaints procedures which all underwent public consultations. The commission is also undertaking advocacy programmes to promote a competition culture among industries.
The government has also established the Competition Appeal Tribunal, which will have exclusive jurisdiction to hear appeals with respect to the commission's decisions on interim measures, infringements and non-infringements.
The prime minister has appointed seven members and High Court judge Mohd Zawawi bin Salleh as the tribunal president. Zawawi's appointment was based on the recommendation of the minister of domestic trade, cooperatives and consumerism upon nomination by the Federal Court chief justice.
Malaysia has 6,385 product standards but only about 5 per cent of these have been made compulsory. Taking its cue from developed nations that have a high level of standards usage and good enforcement, the ETP aims to upgrade the country's standards.
"Benchmarking against international best practices and adopting international standards will ease our efforts to make inroads into new global markets," says
Dr Maximus Ongkili, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation. "We are looking at strategic sectors where international standards need to be adopted."
Six industry subsectors were identified for standards development based on competitive advantage and export potential. These are medical devices, pineapple, production of carrageenan from seaweed, halal pharmaceuticals, green technology and cyber security.
The government has amended the Standards of Malaysia Act 1996 to accelerate the standards development process. These changes include the appointment of multiple standard development agencies compared to
only one agency before. The government will shorten the process of adopting international standards to nine months from more than one year previously and the development of indigenous standards to one and a half years from three years. The government will also enhance competitiveness by looking into other industry and services standards covering sectors such as health care, green products and electronics and electrical.
Services sector liberalisation
Given that the services sector is an important growth engine, the government aims to raise the sector's contribution from 59 per cent of the gross domestic product last year to 65 per cent in 2020. This strategy reflects the profile in developed economies where the services sector accounts for 70 to 80 per cent of their domestic output.
"In this competitive and challenging economic environment, we see the need for the services sector to remain strong and resilient in order to drive overall economic expansion," says Mustapa Mohamad, Minister of International Trade and Industry. "The progressive liberalisation of the sector is expected to give it an even greater role in generating growth, broadening the economic base and increasing contribution to services exports."
Of the 18 subsectors slated for liberalisation this year, nine sub-sectors are at the implementation stage with foreign ownership of up to 100 per cent allowed in these nine sub-sectors. These include accounting and taxation services, department and speciality stores, private hospitals, vocational schools and telecommunications involving applications service providers.
Malaysia is being recognised for its efforts to raise its competitiveness. The 2012 Global Competitiveness Report by the World Economic Forum ranks Malaysia as the 21st most competitive among 142 countries worldwide. This is an improvement of five notches from the country's 26th ranking last year.
The ETP is on its second year, while the SRI on competition, standards and liberalisation is on its first year of implementation. Considering the significant improvement in Malaysia's global competitiveness early into these programmes, imagine where the country will be after eight years in 2020.

The Digital Storytelling (DS) Working Group (closed group) serves as a resource and support for DS practitioners, researchers, academics, companies and social workers from around the world.
The group was initiated by Story Center's Executive Director and Pioneer of DS, Joe Lambert. Here are just some of the locations around the world where digital storytelling is used.
View Digital Storytelling Around the World in a larger map
Editors John Hartley and Kelly McWilliam wrote:
"Since first emerging in the 1990s, DS has grown exponentially…
However, DS has not been taken up evenly 'around the world.' For example, while DS is widely used across North America, Europe, Australasia, it is less developed in Asia, Africa, and South America. Most of the workshops held on those continents have been run or led by Western organizations or Western workshop facilitators and, by and large have not resulted in ongoing local programs…"
– Story Circle: Digital Storytelling Around the World, 2009
There is great potential for bringing DS to Asia with many uses. DS was first introduced in Singapore in 2007 by the National Book Development Council of Singapore. Since 2009, Tyros Global (formerly Digital Storytelling Asia) has been keeping the Story Circle going. Besides Singapore, Tyros Global founder Angeline Koh has facilitated workshops in the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Myanmar.
Angeline facilitates Branding and Pitching through Storytelling training for the marketplace.

The MMVTA values all of their customers and will strive to ensure their customers, in particular, those with disabilities' needs are considered when developing fixed route bus services and stops, passenger amenities, and when procuring vehicles and equipment. MMVTA's customers who utilize their ADA complementary paratransit service are provided with door to door service vs curb to curb in order to better serve their needs. As part of this commitment, the MMVTA has updated their ADA Policy & Procedures in regards to Requests for Reasonable Modification by Persons with a Disability.
To ensure that programs and services are accessible to customers with a disability, an individual may request that a modification to MMVTA's public transit services be made in order to allow them to access and utilize the services.
There are no restrictions on when a customer can request a reasonable modification although the MMVTA supports and encourages customers to place a written request as soon as possible.
Reasonable modification requests to the MMVTA Staff or Transit Contractor Employees must consider any and all requests for reasonable modifications but shall take into account the following exceptions:
Reasonable modifications –
Whenever feasible, requests for modifications should be made in advance. This is particularly appropriate where a permanent or long term condition or barrier is the basis for the request. In the ADA paratransit context, requests can be made in conjunction with MMVTA's ADA complementary paratransit service eligibility process.
The MMVTA's process for public submittals of requests for reasonable modifications is as follows:
– Fixed Route Services – MV Transportation, Donora, PA – 724-379-5956
– ADA Complementary Paratransit Service – Washington County Transportation Authority, Washington, PA – 1-800-331-5058
All requests/documentation shall be maintained in a designated file at the MMVTA's administrative offices for a minimum of five (5) years from date of request.
If a request for reasonable modification is denied, the requester has the right to protest the decision by following MMVTA's ADA protest procedures. Copies are available upon request. Also, a copy of the ADA protest procedures will be included with the written decision of denial. The MMVTA will take, to the maximum extent possible, any other actions that may be available to them to ensure that the individual with a disability receives the services or benefits provided by the MMVTA that would not result in a direct threat or fundamental alteration.
The MMVTA can refuse to provide service to an individual with disabilities if that individual engages in violent, seriously disruptive, or illegal conduct, or represents a direct threat to the health or safety of others. However, the MMVTA will not refuse to provide service to an individual with a disability solely because the individual's disability results in an appearance or behavior that may offend, annoy, or inconvenience MMVTA staff/employees or other persons.
The reasonable modification process and use information will be made readily available to the public. ADA-accessible formats will be provided upon request.
