I was trying to come up with scenes to do in my project that fit certain areas. This particular scene wasn't pictured in the book but I felt it was a good fit for what I wanted.
I decided it would just be a part of the house and from the outside.
Months ago (over a year if truth be told) I cut the brick sheet for the door frame and that is where I left it. Ok, I left it because I was trying to make it too simple. Simple to the point it wasn't really working.
This week I was able to get back to this project and I tackled the house. The first thing I did is decide that the house was only going to be half an inch depth. (That's just two foot in real life.)
The problem that I couldn't get past previously (mostly because I wasn't feeling up to it) was that the brick is one piece but the foam core is two pieces. With no center section, which is not the best way to be designing even a part of a house. But working with it this week, I decided I could live with it and I did. However it would have been better to have cut a single piece of foam-core.
Next was to cut pieces to support the side so I could adhere it to the wall. Then also cut a piece of brick for the side. Believe it or not I pieced the side one. The pieces fit so well together (must been I was in the groove **pun intended **).
I had to repaint some portions of course to get the amount remaining right. This is one of those try it and see how it works. I have done it many times but always a bit of trial and error to it. If it really looks bad can always start over by soaking it. I have done that too.
At this point is when I also painted the roof piece I cut first. Only to realize I had to cut another. Then that was still too short and cut a third. I wasn't allowing enough at the top at first as I wanted it to fit up to the point the next level met the wall. Then not enough overhang in the front the second cutting. Thankfully I had extra in my stash.
To paint the roof what I found worked best was to start with a medium grey all over, then using a dark grey and a lighter plus a medium green to get these on my brush and sort of swipe at it. The idea was that I wanted it to show the grain of wood where it had aged.
Next I painted the door and frame. I decided that the window might be seen through, so I painted the wall inside and added a faux table. That was just in case could see in the window.
Next was the side wall. I cut a piece of brick like I was going to have another side of the house showing but then I had the problem of what to do with the roof. My solution was to consider something else and that was to peruse my stash and I found the fencing. I'm telling you that sometimes these things just jump out at me and say "hey use me".
With the fencing I figured I wanted some trees or something behind and so my answer was to hand-paint the trees and shrubs. I talked about more how I did that in my previous post here.
The grass and pathway were also discussed in that post.
The trim around the top was quilling paper that I painted. The base was painted below the brick and then I used the landscaping to hide it rather than make it look super good.
The step is a piece of foam-core board cut the size and painted.
For now this portion is done. But I am thinking on whether or not to add rabbit on his way to his house.

Some of the students succeed, but some may just get by. For example, one of my friend, she keeps saying that she felt does not want to continue further studies and she decided to fill out form to apply work under government. Although she has been going for many interviews, she still not going to give up asking for the job she likes. I was thinking for a while, why is she give up when studying and not give up when applying for the job? The answer she gave is she will only studying for examinations and will not practic the knowledge she gain. Other than that, she afraid of taking an examinations. She hopes by working, she does not have to worry about examinations and grades anymore. Bottom in my heart, I think maybe she needs tips for examination.
I keep wondering whether student like me have some tips to do well in examinations. And I finally know that the thing which is important for every student is consistency. Because of I am not so genius, I need to revise whatever subject that are taught by the lecturer daily. This will help student like me to study better. Consistent studying and revising will prevent a student from missing out important details.
The proper study environment is also important. Peace and quiet environment will enable a student to concentrate better. Besides that, joining a study group can help student maintain a good grades. Lastly, I should avoid having last minute preparations, because it can cause unwanted pressure and stress.
In conclusion, if all students know the right techniques and it will definitely can help students in an examinations.

I shared my loathe for bunnies with my friend Twila (whose name has been changed to protect the fact that she is a ruthless killer).
She shared with me the pre-meditated fashion in which she traps and kills the pesky chipmunks around her yard.
After calling pest control and getting nowhere on her chipmunk problem. She decided to google up herself another option.
Twila's recipe for a dead chipmunk:
Ingredients: 5 gallon bucket. A long 2x4. Sunflower seeds.
Fill the bucket with water (about half full so the chipmunk won't know what you up to).
Lean the 2x4 on the edge of the bucket. This gives the chipmunk easy access to the top. Drizzle the sunflower seeds all the way up the board and atop the water in the bucket. Creating a layer of floating sunflower seeds makes the sucker-chipmunk think he will be able to stand on it.
The chipmunk will blissfully enjoy your sunflower seed gift. He will get caught up in the moment. You can imagine his surprise when he plunks into the watery grave you have prepared for him!
Incidentally, chipmunks are terrible swimmers. "They drown instantly", remarks Twila, "unlike mice who can swim for hours."

Whoa, that's intense, dude. BTW, when we were playing desert golf in Scottsdale, there were bunnies all over the golf course. While Trev played, I spent most of my time trying to run over the bunnies with the golf cart... Just doing my part to rid the world of the nasty varmin. Loves.

This method works great. I set it up and then drove off to Home Depot to find any other solutions. When I got back four were floating and a few more looked like they were ready to jump in and join them!

Flightless Bird, American MouthPosted by Sarah
So many things to be thankful for this year. Sometimes I have trouble overlooking the ugly harsh realities to really give thanks for the wonders that cross my path. Have I been thankful today for my eyesight to see the beauty of the Missouri sunrise? Or was I just upset because I had to get out of my house and see it? Have I been thankful today for my soft bed loaded with handmade quilts? Or was I just mad because I had to get out of my bed? Have I been thankful today that I have a job to come to work? Or was I just angry that I couldn't sit at home and watch TV and relax?
This will be my first Thanksgiving without my Grandpa. I'm very sad about that. Grandpa always sat patiently at the head of the table, glowing in his older years at seeing his whole family sitting at his table happy, he'd be rattling off about basketball or football or giving Grandma a hard time about something, and then he'd look at me and give me "the look" to say the blessing. Once the 'amen' was out of my mouth he'd start playing with me and my food. I always sat on Grandpa's right. That was my place. He'd steal hot rolls and deviled eggs off my plate. He did it every year and I would anticipate it coming but he'd just giggle every time he did it. Gosh it's going to be hard this time around.
So, in honor of Thanksgiving, how about re-reading Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation. It's really something wonderful.
No human counsel hath devised, nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be reverently, solemnly, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and voice, by the whole American people. I do, therefore, invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea, and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of thanksgiving and prayer to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. And I recommend to them that, while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners, or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation, and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility, and union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.
(signed) Abraham Lincoln.

What Is Rooting?
First, for the newbies, let me clarify what rooting is. Getting root or rooting your phone is the process of modifying the operating system that shipped with your device to grant you complete control over it.
This means you can overcome limitations that the carriers and manufacturers put on your phone, extend system functionality, and even upgrade it to a custom flavor of Android.
The name root comes from the Linux operating system world, where the most privileged user on the system (otherwise known as Administrator on Windows) is called root.
Benefits Of Rooting
Let's check out some of the benefits of rooting your Android phone.
Full Control Over Android
You have access to alter any system files, use themes, change boot images, delete annoying stock apps, such as Sprint's NFL Mobile live and Nascar Sprint Cup Mobile, and other various native applications that might drive you crazy (Footprints, Voice Dialer, etc).
There is plenty of information on the web on how to accomplish this, but our favorite way is by using Titanium Backup and freezing/deleting the apps from there (root required, of course).
Back Up And Restore The Whole System
On most rooted Android devices, you can back up your entire system to an SD card, much in the same way you can image a hard drive. This is great if you'd like to try a new ROM, as you can back up your phone, wipe it completely, flash the new ROM, and if you don't like it, just restore from your backup to get your device back to exactly how it was before you wiped it.
The easiest way to do this at the moment is by using ROM Manager, developed by famed Android developer Koush.
ROM Manager allows you to easily flash a custom recovery image which is what you will need in order to backup and restore your phone. The recovery image is a special program that can be booted into outside of the phone's main operating system, sort of like an OS recovery console on a PC. By default, the recovery image on most Android phones only gives you a few options, mainly related to wiping the phone. Custom recovery images expand upon these options and usually include scripts that can do things like backup and restore your system, fix file permissions, or allow you to flash custom ROMs that the normal recovery image would otherwise reject.
Normally, flashing a custom recovery image requires some command line work, either on your PC, or on a terminal emulator directly on the phone, but Koush's ROM Manager should automatically flash his custom recovery image (known as ClockworkMod Recovery) for you, provided you're on one of the supported phones (<-- the list in this link should be always up-to-date, as it's maintained by Koush) and that it is already rooted.
Using ROM Manager is pretty simple. Download and install the application from the market, fire it up, and you'll be prompted to allow the application superuser permissions - make sure you approve it.
The first thing you'll need to do is flash the ClockworkMod recovery image that I mentioned earlier, which can be done right in the app (it's the first option). ROM Manager should automatically find the latest version of the right image for your phone, download, and install it - the whole process is seamless.
After that is done, you can simply use the 'Manage and Restore Backups', and 'Backup current ROM' options to, well, backup your current ROM or restore from an existing backup. It's that simple!
Save Space On Your Phone
While Google did introduce Apps2SD (moving parts of applications to external storage) officially in the Froyo update, it remains up to developers to manually add support for it in their apps. Because of that, it's still fairly easy to overflow your internal storage and run out of space.
The easiest way to alleviate this problem and enable most applications to be movable to SD would be to flash a custom ROM that enables just that. For example, CyanogenMod, the most popular Android custom ROM, allows the user to force most apps to SD even if developers of those apps didn't enable this feature. See 13 Ways CyanogenMod 7 Makes My Android Phone Feel Future-Proof [Deep Review] for more info on this and other amazing features of CyanogenMod.
Note that this doesn't work on all apps, notably keyboards and apps with widgets.
Install Custom ROMs
The Android custom ROM scene started growing shortly after the first Android phone, the T-Mobile G1, was released. The ROMs that were initially available just offered a few tweaks here and there - access to developer only sections of the operating system, debugging information, and things of that nature.
Now, a few years after the release of the G1, the Android ROM community has grown immensely, and ROMs have been developed for most of the Android phones currently on the market.
They've gone far beyond simple tweaks and can now give your phone an entirely new look and feel. There are ROMs that can make your phone fly by replacing the kernel with hyper-optimized versions or even overclocking the CPU. The possibilities are nearly limitless and attempting to cover all of the features of all the ROM's available for all of the phones out there would be pretty much impossible.
If you're interested in flashing a custom ROM on your phone, your best bet is to hit the Googles, search for "phonename custom ROM," and see what comes up. You'll likely find at least one forum dedicated to hacking your phone with plenty of information to get you started.
Here at AndroidPolice, we're planning a series of custom ROM reviews for as many phones as we can get our hands on. Stay tuned for updates!
How Root The Tablet (Ex: Viewsonic Gtablet)
Now that we got that out of the way, we need to gain root access. You need to sideload Z4 Root to your G Tablet. This allows us to modify all of the necessary files and use apps which require super user access.
Download Z4 Root here and then simply:
Connect your tab to your computer via USB, make sure USB debugging is ON
Turn on USB mass storage when your tablet prompts you
Move the Z4 Root .apk over to your tablet and safely remove before disconnecting
Open your favorite file manager, such as ES File Explorer, go to the root of your SD card, find Z4 Root and install it
After it installs, click open, run the app, sit back for a minute, and enjoy root access!
Ok, I've Rooted, So Now What?
Aside from allowing the installation of popular ROMs developed by the Android community, rooting your phone also comes with the benefit of being able to install apps that require root permissions.
Re flash your Android ROM after Rooting
Now that we have root, download the ROM of your choice:
From here it is another simple process:
Reconnect the G Tablet with USB debugging ON and mass storage ON
Unzip the ROM file on your desktop and move the two extracted files (Recovery and Update File) over to the tablet in the ROOT of your internal sd card
Disconnect the tablet and power it down
Press and HOLD and volume up button and then the power button together until you see the screen go black and "android" printed on the screen in gold letters, then release.
After you release you should see update package installing itself, just be patient until the tablet reboots itself, and you are greeted by a new boot animation to show you that the ROM was flashed successfully!
If you opt to test out several different ROMs, side load ROM Manager by ClockworkMod - it will allow you to easily boot into recovery and flash different ROMs.
Also be sure to keep checking those XDA threads for new updates and fixes!
And now enjoy your completely reborn Viewsonic G Tablet.

A message from Brint to rom updators
This is the current BETA release of the CyanogenMod 6.1 port for
the G Tablet. There are still several issues, but it is far enough along
that I use it as my daily system. Please review issues and post new
ones as needed at the Issues page linked below. Feel free to leave
feedback in the forum, but I may not be able to follow up on it. The
best option is to catch me in #tegratab on Freenode IRC.
CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4
CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4 - MD5
ClockworkMod Recovery
My site: bekit.net post
gapps does work, but I probably should not release that here. Just make
sure it is the MDPI variety and has an update-binary compatible with
This version now matches the standards for SD card mounting on devices
with both internal and external SD card space. This means that the
external SD card slot now mounts to /mnt/sdcard (symlink /sdcard) and
the internal space mounts to /mnt/emmc (symlink /emmc). The device
properly recognizes the internal vs. external space and allows proper
unmounting and handling of the external SD card. This also means that
some apps (if they were coded poorly) will not recognize the internal SD
space as available SD card space and will require you ti insert an
external SD card. I will see if I can do something about the default
apps (read: camera) that have this problem; other apps will need to be
fixed by the developers.
CM6.1 Beta4:
Updated SD mappings for internal/external SD space to match standards (see note above)
Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
Updated kernel to latest G Tablet version (still waiting on source so we can build our own)
Updated to the lasted drivers available for the G Tablet
Included updated libGLESv2 from nvidia (Angry Birds!)
Proper setup of CPU values - this allows the folio Flash APK to install properly
Matched fingerprint and device settings to latest G Tablet values
ClockworkMod Recovery 126.96.36.199 (2010.12.11):
Added options for managing the internal SD card
Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
ClockworkMod Recovery 18.104.22.168 (2010.11.24):

MIPTV 2010 Review: Total Convergence and Digital Urban Entertainment
Posted by etmablog in Media Business on April 16, 2010
Apart from the major aim to bring 'buyers and exhibitors' together, this year's MIPTV again offered lots of insightful presentations with inspiring views on today's fast evolving patterns of media consumption.
Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes
One central theme was certainly 'connected audiences', providing an explanation for the increasing popularity of everything that has to do with 'social'. Kevin Slavin (Area Code Entertainment LLC), for example, pointed out that the connection of users brings us back to where entertainment originally came from: theatres and cinemas, where people usually never went alone. The 'laugh track' of sitcoms was to compensate this lack of social experience in TV, but social media obviously do this job much better. Read the rest of this entry »
Just scanning the news …
While doing our twitter posts, I took care not to fuel the marketing engine of Apple too much by mentioning the iPAD all the time. But after its launch in the U.S. it's perhaps time to follow up on that. I was asking myself: is this just a huge 'media craze' tending to become some kind of selffulfilling prophecy? But that's probably just because I never held an iPAD in my own hands up to now. At least it seems to redefine the term 'usability' for the masses and reduces the computer to what it was originally supposed to be: a seemingly simple yet elegant I/O device. Now it sets out to invade the netbook market, and perhaps other segments as well. As for the future of Steve Jobs' latest child, the AppStore download figures and market research results by Gartner suggest considerable growth potential for tablet PCs (to some degree our commonsense seems to confirm these predictions).

But there were other issues in the news fighting for my attention as well, such as the researchers from KIT in Karlsruhe who developed the first 3D stealth cloak some weeks ago. Will the price for applying this technology develop just as the price of computing capacity decreased in the past? Questions upon questions! Read the rest of this entry »

I listen to Jonsi playing piano in the background. He's there singing for anyone who is willing to listen. I'm chatting with a friend like decent media abiding citizens. She's there. I think about the folks I met half way around the whole this past summer; young, energetic, and Chinese and there.
In a world so easily attainable, we grasp for connectivity as if we never had it. Send one more text and you will feel better. Right? Email one more idea and put it on the calendar. Grab one more beer and you'll be satisfied. I remember playing four-square in elementary school. Chalk on the sidewalk. Those were the days. Simple, goal-oriented interactions. Why don't I Facebook all of the third-graders I shared recess with? Well, that'd ruin it.
It saddens my heart that when I'm in certain circles, people flinch when I say community. The phrase apparently has been overused and over-attempted. It's like a misunderstood curse word. Yet under-done. They're missing it. The lab partner, the co-worker, the sister-in-law. The cab driver, the pastor, the professor.
Jonsi's never going to play music in my living room. He's never going to cry on my shoulder in the rain. The boys and girls from third-grade are scattered about, filling jobs, to pay the bills, to repeat the renewed cycle yet again. Those men and women from back then don't yearn to know who I am. They aren't here to comprehend Community.
But you are.
I want us all here, wrapped up in a creative bubble that doesn't burst until she's ready. It's a thousand kisses passed out to the masses and retreated back in. The reality is, we're all in the same bubble. You are running off to save lives, to sink in the syringe. You are writing the songs, pouring the drinks, pulling the shots. You are in my living room sharing your stories. We all want to listen.

We're broaching course regarding cold calls. There are tried and tested ways to be a more successful cold caller, and as chance would certainly have it these ideas will certainly additionally assist you to enjoy your task that much more:
Get Started with Cold Calling in Hana
1. Self-Reflection.
You don't should psycho-analyze yourself, but you do should figure out exactly what will make you more comfortable cold calling and just how you especially could learn to deal with far better the denial that will undoubtedly come your means. You are mosting likely to be hung up on and cussed out, as well as they'll also bring your mommy into the formula possibilities go to some factor. How are you mosting likely to handle it? The trouble is every person is various, and the option comes easier for some than for others.

3. Rehearse transportation concentrating on pace, tone, as well as pitch..
When I tune right into offers calls, I am as often as feasible surprised by the message inside the message. In eye to eye offers, 55% of the message is non-verbal. On the telephone, this component is missing out on, and this implies the message comprises simply of words and just how you say them. While the words are essentially important the way, you claim them will be especially linked to your success or severe frustration.
4. Feel their discomfort.
A few of the responses you obtain while cold calling is very over the top. Regardless of exactly how upset they are, try to empathize. Understanding the person you are speaking with creates a conciliatory collection that is very conducive to more sales. Even though you are the one getting hung up on all day, always take the potential client's side, however always own the discussion toward making that sale

5. Inform the intended miner ahead of time.
See to it to send out a message or an Email to the consumer before making the telephone call. This helps to establish a connection with the prospect. Online marketers should try to send out a direct mail or an email to enlighten the possibility that a call will certainly be made later on. This will certainly likewise expect or nevertheless limit invading their work
6. Begin Fixing Problems.
In cold calling, another important point that you need to do is to offer up your marketing purposes first; however rather, make out more effort on providing just what your clients' requirements. You have actually got a goods or solution that could aid somebody, end an issue, enhance earnings, conserve cash, or conserve time.

The even more people you call, the much more potential sales you are mosting likely to make. While there are plenty of suggestions for achieving success regularly, inevitably it is a numbers video game. Ultimately, you will have almost an intuition regarding identifying who you carry the line as well as that is just dragging you along due to the fact that they have problem stating no; in the meanwhile reward everyone like they are mosting likely to offer and always press your rate. You'll discover that at the end of the day all of that effort paid off, and also the more you push on your own to go fast, the simpler as well as much easier it gets till it is virtually second nature
Cold calling could be a really effective sales method, it is also tough, and also there are some risks any type of firm can succumb to. Think about exactly just how much it requires to complete a successful cold call.

Sentiment analysis uses natural language processing (NLP), text mining and data mining capabilities to find subjective information hidden in the data. This information refers to the attitude of the data, whether this is positive, negative or neutral. Proper sentiment analysis has to take into account the meaning of the words as well as the context when someone said something through what channel.

[Me yesterday, having the only non-after-midnight alone time I've had since Sunday.]
A few days ago, Max started being fussy. He's a really good natured little lad, so when he starts being bratty, I'm pretty quick to realize that teeth or a cold are in the near future. But! This time, I was busy battling a cold myself and thought that I was just getting annoyed easily. Monday night rolled around and, during dinner, Max threw a full fledged tantrum complete with snot, tears, and falling over. He went to bed soon after and on Tuesday, he didn't get off of my lap unless he was asleep in his crib. Yesterday, I took him to the doctor and found out he has two ear infections, an upper respiratory infection, and he's cutting teeth. Fun, right?
It wasn't at first! He wouldn't eat, he wouldn't sleep, he wouldn't do much of anything except whimper. But now! A few days and a lot of prescription drugs in, he'll finally eat! I'm a worrywart of a first time mother, so I made all of his favorite foods, from peanut butter and jelly to bacon and he refused them all. So I busted out the big guns: chocolate chip cookies.
And it was like heaven made in an oven! He watched them bake, sat patiently (surrounded by other untouched food including potatoes and peas and beef and cheetos) while they cooked, and started screaming on cue when I pulled them out of the oven.
He just ate like three all by himself and my carpet now has a chocolate stain.
But some days, little boys just need cookies.
Also to watch Tangled for the seventh time in three days because it's the only movie that holds your attention.
But that's probably another blog post for another day.

27 April – 10 June 2017
Opening: Thursday, 27 April, 6 – 9 pm
ITALIC, Leipziger Str. 61, 10117 Berlin, Germany
Nikolai Szymanski's works deal in different ways with the medium of moving images and questions of space in the realm between illusion and reality, invisibility and visibi- lity, the private and public spheres, but also between art and everyday life.
Under the title "My Lapis Lullaby", Szymanski presents a site-speci c installation at ITALIC consisting of the video sculpture of the same name and the lm work "Ghost- shopping". In addition to its striking tiles, the exhibition space is bathed in a deep blue. "My Lapis Lullaby" ts into this environment as a miniaturized pool, in which water becomes abstractly visible as a ghostly moving projection. In "Ghostshopping", the viewers encounter il- luminated shop windows by night and interiors of shops, empty of inhabitants, strangely deserted and desolate.
In the overall installation, Szymanski associatively brings together various references from art and popular culture. The blue of the walls is reminiscent of the French artist Yves Klein and deliberately refers to his statement that blue is "the visible invisible". This way, an additional resonant space opens up against the illusionistic projection of the water. At the same time, the pool plays an important role as a place of longing, as in the paintings of David Hockney or as a (status) symbol of the Californian life- style, combined with the ideal of eternal physical youth-fulness. "Ghostshopping", on the other hand, evokes the potentially dark side of a seemingly in nite blue, which at night can evolve into something rather sinister. Amongst other references, Szymanski is inspired by the song Blue, from the eponymous album (1971) by the Canadian artist and painter Joni Mitchell, as well as the early lm Ghost Dance (1983) by British director Ken McMullen. Solitude and isolation are reected in the images of nocturnally deserted places, which seem to be inhabited only by spirits. In their nocturnal emptiness, they stand for traces of what is no longer present, and in the overall picture they remain in keeping with Szymanski's artistic approaches to the invisible and the unspoken.

Group Work in the Human Service Industry
Group work has been cited as playing an integral role in ensuring that people achieve more collaboratively than working as individuals. In addition, group work has been perceived as a robust mechanism of helping people attain some novel skills and specific goals, mostly when a group is founded upon a particular objective. Nonetheless, despite these benefits attributed to working in groups, it is imperative to be cognizant of the fact that in many cases, it requires extensive efforts to ensure that a group evolves into an effective team. Against this backdrop, this paper will analyze the group work within the human service field with the focus group being 'Open Doors', whose operations are founded on the need to support young people who identify as being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. It is fundamental to briefly explore this organization aimed at getting a comprehensive insight into its groups work operations, group work theory underpinning it among other tenets. Human Services:
Although the words 'human services' can mean different things according to individual experiences, not everyone understands the industry or field as a whole. The human service industry according to Woodside and McClam (2011:4-9) is extremely complex to define, although overall, it is the overarching industry of professionals that provide a diverse range of services to humans in need. The aim of the professionals within the industry is to work with people to support, assist and empower them to meet their own needs whether those needs are for food, shelter, physical or emotional to name a few. Therefore, the human service field is at the forefront of many of the youth services provided both locally and overseas.
Open Doors at a glance
According to Open Doors website (2012:1), this group is located at the center of Brisbane and its core undertaking revolve around the provision of counseling and support services for the young people between the ages twelve to twenty four who identify as being lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT). The core goal of this organization is to foster resilience among this target group through the facilitation of opportunities aimed at receiving supports which is need specific networks, as well as enjoying lives characterised by positive relationships. This is enabled through support provision, referral, advocacy and capacity development within the organization (Woodley, J 2012, pers. Comm., 20th August). In regard to the type of group work, Open Doors can be categorized as a social action group. According to Preston-Shoot (1987:16) this form of a group aims at the utilization of the resources at group level for collective power in the efforts to campaign for social transformations, as well as the inherent rights of the members within these particular groups. It is imperative to explore group theory in order to understand the undertakings of Open Doors. Group theory
According to Galanes and Adams (2007:8), the group theory perceives a group as being comprised of two or more people who have a common sense of purpose and make extended efforts to achieve a specified goal. Against this backdrop, it is apparent that the activities of Open Doors are based on the need to solve a common impediment in society which is the discriminatory attitude hulled against the LGBTs. Thus, individuals come together with the core goal of solving this challenge through diverse mechanisms like advocacy, referrals among others previously mentioned. Thus, the activities of Open Doors are founded on the ongoing needs in the society which call for redress. This is chiefly embedded in the vision statement of Open Doors which states that all young people from different genders and sexualities have the chance to enjoy full experience and have true knowledge of pride in life (Open Doors website, 2012:1). In reference to Open Doors, it is worth noting that groups undergo several...

"Babee, WE ARE LATE!!!!" Jumped out from the bed, looked at the clock and it showed 6.49 am. Checked my phone and it showed 6.49 am as well. (I am dead sure I set the alarm but for some reason it did not go off). I tried to figure out how much time we have. GREAT!! 45 mins before our flight departs!!!! What came out from my mouth was a slur of vulgarities one could think off.
"Call for cab now!!!!!!" yelled C. My hands were trembling and my heart were pounding like never before. You could hear them from miles awayyy.
Wash up, get change and out of the house in minutes. When we reached the aiport, I ran to the check in counter, (as if we were in amazing race) hoping that they will give us some leeway and check us in. Fat hope, E!!
"Sorry ma'am, the counter is already closed. If it's 5 mins late, we can close one eye and check you in. But you are 20mins late"
"But, but our cab break down. We don't want to be late as well" Liar liar pants on fire!
"Sorry ma'am, this is our policy. We can't help you. You got to catch the next flight"
Damn it, can't bluff my way through.
So, C and myself went to the airline counter and asked to book us on the next available flight to Saigon. We were expecting to pay a hefty penalty especially so on budget airline. But we only paid 70 bucks each. Quite alright, imo. Before we left the counter, the guy said to us "remember your new departure time. Do not miss your flight again!" Thanx for reminding, dude!! Of course we will be on time this time round!
After settling the sin-saigon flight, we still have to sort out the saigon-danang flight and the pick up from hotel. Sigh! So much trouble before the start of our mid year holiday. What a memorable experience. Let's hope that this will never happen again.
We are now back home waiting for our next flight. Although we were dead sleepy, we dare not sleep a wink. Afraid our alarm will play us up again! If that happens again, we are screwed! HAHA
Happy holiday to us!!

Lisa Girion's Highly Useful Articles On Insurance
We see two instances of that in today's newspaper: Yet another compelling article on health insurance and its failings by Lisa Girion, and a column by Tim Rutten examining how the New York Times ineptly made itself the issue by doing an investigative piece on Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, that didn't wash.
Girion, along with the L.A. Times' Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Charles Ornstein, has been writing about health issues for some time. Ornstein specializes in treatment failures at hospitals; Girion writes about the failures of the health insurers. Both are vital ways of looking at the health embroglio, wherein Americans spend more than anybody else to take care of themselves, but often get poor care.
Girion's article this morning, the lead story in the paper, has to do with a $9 million punitive judgment by a private judge against Health Net for arbitrarily canceling a woman's insurance right in the middle of her chemotherapy, leaving her with $129,000 in bills. The decision prompted Health Net to say that in the future it would subject such decisions to outside review.
A few days ago, Girion had an article about a state crackdown on Health Net, which is based in Woodland Hills, for such practices as paying its agents special bonuses for finding expensive patients the company could cancel. And, she has also written a whole series of articles about the trouble the huge Blue Cross health insurer has run into for questionable cancellations.
I found in years of covering insurance issues for the L.A. Times that, other than car dealers, there is probably no more unscrupulous business than insurance. Quite simply, the insurance companies frequently cheat their customers by throwing up all kinds of obstacles to paying legitimate claims, thereby defeating the whole reason for carrying insurance.
The L.A. Times hasn't always covered the insurance industry with the critical scrutiny it deserves. But Girion has. She is one of the paper's most outstanding reporters and has been for some time.
Tim Rutten too is a writer who never fails to bring credit on the paper. He recently moved on to the Times' often deficient Op Ed page from the Calendar section, where he wrote a media column.
Today, Rutten uses his background of media commentary to examine carefully how the New York Times fell on its face this week, writing so unfairly about McCain that it actually allowed him to gather conservative support around his candidacy that he had found elusive.
Regardless about pessimism that often marks views about the future of newspapers, when we see articles like Girion and Rutten are writing every week, we can appreciate the tremendous value newspapers have in a free society.
A less effective article in the L.A. Times today, by Victoria Kim, is unduly negative on a proposed Crenshaw light rail line. Kim quotes Jim Moore, director of the transportation engineering program at USC, as saying the line is unnecessary. Moore invariably opposes all rail transportation projects in the Los Angeles area and is apparently in cahoots with highway and automotive lobbies. He is not a credible spokesman, and Kim, or her editors, should have known this.

IBM 4232 Printer Get The HighYou require a new printer but you do not know whether to buy an inkjet or a laser printer, as you are not aware of the differences between the two. The paper, citing an unnamed senior Samsung source, said the Korean firm will likely announce a decision on the potential sale by next week. Deliver architectural designs, maps, photos and presentations without sacrificing quality, thanks to Original HP inks. The plotter has a pen holder which moves vertically, a stepper motor to move the pen left and right across the page, and a stepper motor to move the paper forward and backward.
One lesson I learned about ink jet printers that I was not thoroughly aware of till I visited this company is that if you don't use your printer all that much, you are more prone to clog's. Besides being able to cater to the rising demand for 3D printers at more affordable rates, the acquisition has also helped boost sales of Stratasys' larger, more expensive printers, Janney Montgomery Scott analyst John Baliotti said.
Photo printers usually have memory card slots and an USB connection on the front, so you can plug in your camera's memory card or connect the camera itself and print away, with or without a PC. From installation assistance to extended warranties, HP offers a comprehensive portfolio of HP DesignJet support services to ensure you're never on your own. Keith Conroy will demonstrate the use of the plotter once or twice to representatives of each participating entity.
For over thirty years, our experienced technicians have been providing efficient and professional on-site service. Only designated representatives from participating SPHHP departments and research centers, the School of Nursing and other entities can use the naprawa ploterow z Poznania. From portable photo printers for those holiday snaps to laser printers for the office, there's a huge selection in stock at Staples.
It shows a picture on one of the steps where it says your code and the serial naprawa ploterow HP must be set at equal baud rates (and it shows a pic of the baud rate of 9600 and a scroll down) but it doesn't show how to actually adjust the baud rate on the serial plotter. Based on what you told me I sent you a link to the manufacturer's web site and quoted you a price along with our service plan.
From its store in Farringdon, East London, it showcases affordable 3D naprawa ploterow w Poznaniu and hosts demonstrations and training sessions in the hope of making the technology more accessible. With monochrome and colour varieties, laser printers are ideal for printing both text and images. Some A4-sized all-in-one printers can print great small photos and they're more versatile than a compact photo printer because they can handle other jobs as well.
Although the field of 3D printing has its roots in the 1980s, it surged in popularity recently thanks to decreased costs (printers can be found in the thousand dollar range) and people's astonishingly creative uses of the devices. Some printers have one cartridge that holds the cyan (greenish- serwis ploterów w Poznaniu ), magenta, and yellow inks, and a second cartridge for the black ink.

It looks like this might be one of the last really nice weekends before the weather starts to turn. I should take advantage of it and enjoy the outside – maybe get some fibreglassing done on D3's ODST helmet.
Instead, we'll probably be doing a bunch of yard work like closing out the pool and garden. We should burn down a bit more of the branches and rake up more of the crabapples. Add a bit of driving around getting fabric for Gee's costume and that should eat up the weekend.
I am hoping to squeeze in a bit of time to get to a few of the comic book store for Heroclix though. Maybe even a bit of time to play one of the new games.
I should get in some good time cleaning up my desk and sorting out if there are any parts to keep from the old computers but those might have to wait until mid-October when I get some days off.

We keep 'em coming back
For three seconds I considered Photoshopping a coke moustache, a la Perez Hilton
Drugs and rap have been intimately partnered, for better or worse, since the late 80's. Gangsta rappers covered both sides of the coin, in that they expressed enjoyment in using drugs and the fat stacks gained by selling them, yet also understood the life-fracturing capabilities they possessed (eg. N.W.A.'s "Dopeman"). As the genre progressed, the balance between slangin' pride and wariness shifted more and more for the former. Biggie, Jay-Z and countless others glamorized distribution as a lucrative career, albeit one brought on by a dearth of other opportunities.
Fast forward to today, where waxing nostalgic about moving weight has become a common precursor to rapping; the topic's popularity has only been bolstered by fans who see their own experience (in the most basic of ways; no one makes all that much money selling crack) in their heroes' words. In fact, most of the year's most successful rappers, including Lil' Wayne, The Clipse, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, T.I., Juelz Santana and even Jay-Z have made explicit and repeated mention of pushing white.
Recently a surprising new tune by Ciara called "Dope Boyz" leaked and no, she's not just complimenting some fellas. A track saluting hood delivery men from Three 6 Mafia is plausible, but Ciara? 50 Cent of all people confusingly starts the breezy track, setting the tone by emotionlessly uttering lines like "Just one dose of me will have you addicted" and "I'm a hustler, baby, I provide by any means." Ciara responds indirectly in a hushed tone that "my girlfriends' tellin' me I don't know how to act," but she's so swept up in a hustler's confident charms and his being "so heavy in the streets." A clap-happy rhythm bounces around on lilting piano sweeps and she continues, admitting that good boys aren't as appealing as dope boys — she "can't leave him alone."
Her affection is matched by a defensive streak featured most prominently in the chorus: "they say he's gonna hurt me / just wait and see / they don't know me." Including this kiss off to her worried, naysing friends acknowledges that there is some cause for concern but she doesn't give a fuck. 50's second verse acquieses then squashes any misgivings: "Your friends trying to confuse you, but you know what / my intentions are good / I can't help it I'm hood / I wouldn't change if I could / you shouldn't tell me I should."
So what happens when pop singers add their encouragement to dealer pride that's topped the charts? Will an accepting climate in the realm of rap translate to broader acceptance with its listeners? For me to try and answer these questions would be foolish and unadvised without considering the deep-seated ties between music in general and drugs, the importance of fervernt capitalism in music and rap specifically, the degree to which fans emulate their idols' actions and sentiments, the fiscal and social situations making drug dealing a feasible occupation, etc., factors I don't have the knowledge or time to broach here. Regardless, "Dope Boyz" is provocative for its bold stance and lingering uncertainty. As a new year of music approaches, we'll get to see how sentiments like Ciara's resonate with her peers and fans.
Ciara, "Dope Boyz" (featuring 50 Cent)
Three 6 Mafia, "Dope Boy Fresh" (featuring Chamillionaire)
Also, greetings to new readers referred by the always amazing Another Night On Earth. Thanks for the kind words, Chris!

Why does youth innovation work?
The microscope, DNA and special relativity. What do these three discoveries and inventions have in common? They revolutionised science? Yes. They've benefited the lives of millions? Yes. They were pioneered by people under thirty? Yes.
The microscope allowed humans to look into the building blocks of the world around, the structure of materials and the nature of cells. The discovery of DNA pushed the frontiers of medical technology spawning the science of genetics. Special relativity has given rise to GPS, nuclear energy as well as being essential for the advancement of space travel.
Innovations led by young people, that changed the world.
Facebook, Theranos, Apple, Microsoft and Google. They are leading companies in their respective markets and exciting innovators pushing humanity and business forward. All founded by people under thirty and all-game changers in their markets. Facebook led the growth of social media, which in turn furthered the rapid growth of the internet. Theranos transformed the process of blood testing, saving millions of lives through the ease at which diseases could be detected. Apple revolutionised personal computers, mobile phones and pioneered the tablet industry. Microsoft brought personal computing to the masses through the development of Windows. 'Google' is now a word in the dictionary and is the central nexus for all human knowledge. These are some of the most innovative companies in the world, all started by people under thirty.
Why are young people able to innovate, create and change how things work? Young people, by definition, have less life and business experience so how can they be great innovators?
It's often said that young people don't have a fear of failure; a cynical rebuke may be "because they have nothing to loose". This is usually true. Young people are less likely to have dependants, a mortgage or significant finances to lose investing. What about the innovations, which aren't businesses such as scientific ventures? Why are young people adept at this even without experience which is, arguably, more important? It could be argued that, again, there is less risk as there is more time left to repair a damaged reputation, but this still doesn't negate the issue of experience.
Young people are not tainted by mistakes or the ideas of those who came before.
Perhaps it is precisely a lack of experience which is causing this correlation. What is experience? It is knowledge received from first hand experience often learned from mistakes. Experience is also knowledge learned from other people's mistakes and ideas. Experience learned from mistakes, whilst useful to deter repetition from mistakes, it can also act as a deterrent from trying new things. Experience learned from other people, or from qualifying in a profession is an obstacle to trying new and innovative processes or testing new ideas. Young people are not tainted by mistakes or the ideas of those who came before.
People in their 20s will have only recently finished formal education. School leavers, undergraduates or postgraduates, their education has only recently stopped or they may still be studying. However new ideas, research and learning are intrinsically eternal. This idea may not be applicable to academic and scientific innovation, but academic innovation can occur at any age; the learning never stops. Education and academia drive innovation; encourage new thinking and the decision to try new things.
Whilst in academia there may still be, at times, stifling bureaucracy and certain traditions and precedents to follow, not everyone is an innovator. Young people are still filled with a desire to learn and try new things. Indeed, soon after graduating or leaving an educational environment the knowledge gained is fresh and easy to access ensuring that it can be applied more fluidly.
Maturity is an increasing realisation of ones own vulnerability and the shredding of arrogance.
Confidence, a lack of fear, stepping out of the bubble impervious to harm, invulnerable to failure and invincible. The mind-set of many in their 20s and a mind set which is obviously quite wrong and has caused many a disaster. Yet to some extent, these are traits found in all young people and there are developmental psychology theories suggesting that maturity is an increasing realisation of ones own vulnerability and the shredding of arrogance. However these attributes, whilst easily leading to poor choices, can motivate people into action.
No fear of failure, no fear in believing that what some may call impossible is actually possible, is a powerful level of confidence which can almost make up for a lack of experience. 'Fake it till you make it', a self fulfilling prophecy. If you believe you're going to succeed you're more likely to succeed than if you believe you're going to fail. This confidence may be from stepping out of the bubble of protection offered by schools, parents and universities and it's more accentuated whilst still within the confines of such institutions, especially students. Starting a venture as a student is one of the best times to do so. Plenty of free and flexible time, University resources and no burning pressure to making money.
All of these attributes are rooted in the same idea, a lack of constraints; on ideas and ambition.
Innovation, start-up businesses and scientific discoveries are not purely in the sphere of the young; in fact the 20-year-old led start-up stereotype is a new phenomenon brought on by the dawn of the internet age. Great innovators of the past such as IBM, Wal-Mart and Ford, who all changed their respective industries, were led by men in their 40s. Even now many great businesses are founded by people well out of their 20s. So is youth innovation a new concept? I would postulate that innovative thinking in those under the age of thirty isn't new. What is new is the rapid communication of ideas that is maintained by the internet and trendsetters who changed the perception of youth.
A famous youth innovator, Steve Jobs, who founded what may be the first trillion-dollar company, Apple, was fired primarily by inexperience. A decision which probably wasn't in Apple's best interests in the long run, nevertheless Steve Jobs changed the perception of what young people can do. Mark Zuckerberg who, in 2004, founded what some predictions see as the second trillion-dollar company, is seen to be qualified enough to run Facebook. The current perception allows for youth to demonstrate their ideas and build innovative companies.
How can this relate to companies? Innovative people come from all ages and all backgrounds; some of the greatest innovations have come from the young and some from the experienced. So, how can companies utilise this knowledge? Usually experienced people are in positions of autonomy, where they can implement their ideas to improve and develop and can be seen as innovators. Young people are often unable to express their ideas, new into companies, their voice can be unheard. Companies need to work to develop cultures and environments where graduate employees are taken more seriously and can spread and develop ideas together with their more senior colleagues.
The reasons why young people are such great innovators, are also the reasons that make young companies (irrespective of the founders ages) disruptive and innovative. No fear of failure, nothing to loose and no constraints are universal traits in almost all successful start-ups.
Tesco is a prime example of a game changer in the supermarket industry. At one point in time, 10p out of every pound spent in the UK was spent at Tesco. The Tesco Clubcard changed consumer-spending patterns and rewarded customers for their loyalty. Loyalty cards are now common place in the modern world, with even small single site shops and restaurants using them and Tesco has barely changed since the early 90s. With the recent troubles at Tesco, we can see a clear example of how wrong a company can go when it stops innovating.
The best companies are those that take inspiration from everywhere and when everyone is constantly innovating.

Then it occurred to me that the only thing that makes people more defensive than assailing their cherished truths is threatening their livelihood.
If you're still on the fence about whether Scientology is a religion or not, ask yourself this: does a belief system worthy of respect expend so much energy, time and money on silencing dissent and preventing believers from ceasing to follow the belief system?
(Yeah, certain sects of Islam might. Does that mean it's acceptable for Scientology, or anybody else, to follow their example?)
While I've always felt that Scientology is a dangerous cult, it now seems clear that its leadership isn't just a bunch of misguided zealots. They're scam artists who are fighting to keep their income stream flowing, and that won't happen if bad press turns off would-be recruits.
But don't take my word for it. Here's an observation by Charles Kimball, a professor of religion whose book When Religion Becomes Evil is a good read so far.
Authentic religion engages the intellect as people wrestle with the mystery of existence and the challenges of living in an imperfect world. Conversely, blind obedience is a sure sign of corrupt religion. Beware of any religious movement that seems to limit the intellectual freedom and individual integrity of its adherents.It's actually hard to prove that Scientology limits the intellectual freedom and individual integrity of its adherents, because it does such a stellar job of limiting their physical freedom. That's about as strong a sign as can be that the most charitable interpretation of Scientology is that it is a corrupt religion.
The far more plausible explanation, though, is that Scientology is a colossal scam.

The New York Times bestselling author of the explosive new book, Hollywood Hypocrites: The Devastating Truth About Obama's Biggest Backers, Jason Mattera, had his crew's camera snatched and hurled by comedian Chris Rock when he asked the star why he has called the Tea Party racist.
"I was stunned," said Mr. Mattera in an exclusive interview with Big
Hollywood. "Tea Party members get called the worst things imaginable and
still remain peaceful. But ask a big Hollywood celebrity to explain
himself and the guy goes ballistic, wrestles the camera away from my
camerawoman, chucks it 50 feet, and then challenges me to a fight. It's
unreal. And it perfectly illustrates why I decided to investigate and
writeHollywood Hypocrites."
The confrontation, which took place around 2:00 a.m. on January 23,
2012, at Spike Lee's Sundance Film Festival after party at Tao night
club, ended with Chris Rock challenging the conservative author to a
fight, says Mr. Mattera:

Sam's Rant
MMO's Part 2
One other thing with World of Warcraft (I'M NEVER CALLING IT WoW YOU NERDS) is the idea of killing the same EVIL BAD GUY in every single game. Yes I'm referring to the Lich King (WHY LICH). He appears in Return of The Lich King but stories of him surround World of Warcraft and when he appears in Return of The Lich King you can go and defeat him for the 9 BILLIONTH TIME. Of course if you are a World of Warcraft fan you know that two expansion packs have come out costing at roughly £30 (ROUGHLY YOU NERDS) a piece. So if we do the sums its £30 + £30 + £336 (from earlier on) = £396.00, lets have a look at what we can buy for £396.00
• 39600 penny sweets
• 1320 Apples
• Driving Lessons
• A Second Hand Car
• A PlayStation 3 plus £96 left over
• 3 Nintendo DS's • 3 Nintendo DSi's
• An Xbox 360 with at least 3 years Xbox Live cover
• 792 Chocolate Bars at 50p a piece
• 396 Party Sweet Mix Bags at £1.00 a piece
• A Big Fancy Meal
• 9 train rides on the EuroStar
• 3 Nights in a Big Fancy London Hotel plus spending money.
• 13 DVD's at £30
• 9 Games at £40
• A Standard PC or Laptop
• 2 Nintendo Wii's
• 13 upper tier seats for WWE Smackdown
• 88 (Roughly) Magazines
Another 20 things you can buy for the cost of 3 years on World of Warcraft plus 2 Expansion Packs. But Enough of World of Warcraft lets talk about something different, World of Warcraft BORES ME.
EVE Online is a very confusing MMO which sees you pilot ships in a unreal universe where you pilot space ships and mine for resources to make bigger ships and run player corporations which sounds more like a business game and not a shooting space game. Moving on (I might do a RANT on EVE Online, Might).
I said this in my first rant but why cant there be an MMO based on Pirates and not Pirates of the Burning SEA, A proper Pirates MMO, with sea monsters, hooch and lots of other cool stuff.
The best idea for an MMO would be a console MMO based on gangsters such as GTA or Saints Row. Think about it, you could be screwing your mates over Protection Money. You could try to sell your mates drugs or knock off beer of ridiculous amounts of money. Just think about it and for a bonus NO EXPERIENCE POINTS just good old gaming. Just think how FANTASTIC it would be. I could go on forever but I'm going to keep most of the ideas for the design document and make millions from it.
As you can see I Hate MMO games, I hate what they are, how much they cost, what they do to society and for being down right rubbish. OK there is one that does look like a good game and I have been thinking about it but I wont get it until I have a better Internet connection.
City of heroes allows you to be your childhood superheroes and fight crime and wear your super suit and be an icon. It looks like good fun and sounds like a good idea. Overall MMO's are PANTS and who ever plays on them are a bunch of IDIOTS, PILLOCKS AND NERDS (apart from those who may play on CITY OF HEROES).

This past weekend we celebrated at the Dozier Christmas Party.
I wasn't all that thrilled about attending. Not because I don't love my family or enjoy seeing them, but because this was going to be very emotional.
The last few weeks have been really tough on my emotions. Without my Pawpaw, Christmas just won't be the same. He and Nana always made Christmas complete.
This was the first Christmas celebration I had to endure without my Pawpaw, and to make matters worse my Nana was absent too because she hadn't been feeling well and had to stay at the nursing home.
So, while we had a wonderful time visiting with relatives, there was an emptiness. A piece of the puzzle missing. I shed a few tears, but overall it was a nice day.
Here's a family photo with my parents, my brother (Keith), me, Audrey and Addison. (Corey was on shift)
Addison was showing off her new pony to Susanne and Keeley and entertaining everyone.

West Ham fans were full of praise for striker Andy Carroll after his performance against Swansea.
West Ham moved up to the dizzy heights of third place in the Premier League table after an impressive 3-1 win over Swansea City at Upton Park.
The victory over Garry Monk's side means that West Ham have now won three games in a row, bouncing back superbly from three successive games without a win.
It didn't go all West Ham's way though, as Wilfried Bony put Swansea in front with a well taken finish from Jefferson Montero's cut back.
From then on though, West Ham took control, and Andy Carroll leveled the game for West Ham with a superb looping header from Carl Jenkinson's deep cross.
Carroll then put West Ham in front when Swansea inexplicably left the gangly target man unmarked from a corner, before Lukasz Fabianski was harshly sent off for impeding Diafra Sakho on his way to goal.
Sakho did make it three in the end, latching onto Carroll's flick-on and smashing the ball beyond Gerhard Tremmel to wrap up the victory.
Alex Song was influential throughout, but most of the plaudits from West Ham fans went to striker Carroll, who racked up two goals and an assist in a superb display.
Swansea just couldn't handle the former Liverpool flop, with Carroll's aerial ability causing no end of problems in the Swans back four.
His impressive performance has led to calls for an England return, whilst one fan even labeled him 'unplayable' - as long as he can stay fit, which has been Carroll's biggest problem of late.
#COYI #Carroll well deserved Man of the Match! @whufc_official— David Bell (@DaveySEO) December 7, 2014

The end of melted water in your whiskey is here, these chilling rocks will keep any drink cool for hours, and do it in style.
Those of you who are connoisseurs of the finer whiskies are keenly aware how refrigerated ice can change the taste of any fine liquor. Most refrigeration units pick up the smells and taste from other refrigerated food. This foul taste can be transferred whether you are drinking a glass of water or even a fine whiskey. By using the Whiskey Chilling Rocks instead of refrigerated ice, you can stabilize the fine taste and fully enjoy the whiskey for which you have probably paid a few pretty pennies.
These Whiskey Chilling Rocks are made from 100% pure soapstone cubes and will not leave any aftertaste. Get your own set of 10 cubes today!

From January 1, 2007 the dominance of Fidea and Rabobank in cyclo-cross might be over. A new Belgian team, the Sunweb-Projob team, was presented on Monday by team manager Jurgen Mettepenningen. Sunweb is a travel agency while Projob is a seller of sector-specific working clothes.
The two biggest names on the team's roster, Sven Vanthourenhout and Jan Jakke Verstraeten weren't presented on the podium, Mettepenningen explained this wouldn't have been appropriate towards the sponsors of their respective current teams, Rabobank and SD Worx. "We will receive enough media attention after the New Year," Mettepenningen said. He expressed his desire to compete with Rabobank and Fidea at the highest level in cyclo-cross, with the Belgian championship in Hamme being the first big appointment for the team.
Full roster

Welcome school year 2010-2011.
The school year of 12 extra pounds (and a lot of other unpleasantness). Unacceptable.
All year I have been saying I'm going to start working out regularly again and eating well again.
But I have visited the school cafeteria too many times, medicated my unrest with chocolate a few too many times, been too exhausted to go to the gym after errands, supper, baths, etc., and then too weak to make myself get up early to work out.
However, five days ago, I started it again. And even though only a few people will probably read this, now that I've said it "out loud" maybe I'll stick to it a little longer. I did it once. I can do it again. And I know I felt better. And I really need to feel better again.

In this class we used Adobe Illustrator to design various ways in which to stylise our initials, we then had to use them to create personal monograms. We first made preliminary sketches and thumbnails before moving to Illustrator to try and render them. I had, personally, a lot of fun with this exorcise, we were given a lot of freedom and a lot of time in which to become comfortable with the various tools and methods in Illustrator which, I think, helped a lot when it came to working on assignments.
Figure 1 was my first attempt at this type of design, it looks more like a beetle than the final version, the featured image, and was far messier. There are unintentional blanks spaces and unparalleled lines are all over, but it did help me to learn the best way to position the singular monograms to make up the final version, which is far tidier.
My favourite design is the top left in figure 2. I mostly just mirrored and resized to get the final, but I like the style of the lettering and the purple accent.

63.2% of all single family homes listed today for Greater Victoria on MLS.ca have an asking price of $500000 or higher. 14.4% of SFH are listed for $400000 or less.
The number of listings for SFH priced above $500k continues to rise faster than SFH listed under $500k.
I'm trying to wrap my head around some stats based on April's numbers and today's SFH "asking price" dollar range percentages. The median selling price for SFH in April was $489000. Therefore, more that 50% of SFH sold for less than $500k, less than 50% of SFH sold for more than $500k. Based on the number of listings on MLS today, 36.8% of SFH have an asking price of <= $500k, 63.2% of SFH have an asking price of >=$500k.
Some of the following numbers are estimates, but I think the general idea will come across. Based on my calculations, approximately 50% of the listings for Greater Victoria on MLS are SFH. According to VREB, there were 3305 active listings in April. Let's assume then that 50% of the active listings were SFH, 1653.
Using today's MLS percentage numbers, if there were 1653 SFH listed in April, 36.8% will have been listed for under $500k. This gives us 608 SFH under $500k. 63.2% will have been listed for over $500k. This gives us 1045.
467 SFH were sold in April. The median was $489000. More than 233.5 SFH sold for less than $500k, less than 233.5 SFH sold for more than $500k. For simplicity, I'll use those numbers. SFH under $500k, 233.5 sales, 608 listings, this equals 2.6 months of inventory. SFH over $500k, 233.5 sales, 1045 listings, this equals 4.5 months of inventory.
What does this all point to? Price compression? Sputtering upper-end? A seller's market? Perhaps a number of things. A quick search on the web regarding months-of-inventory and 6.0 came up as the MOI switching point between seller's and buyer's markets. This leads me to believe that based on April's numbers, Victoria's Real Estate market is still a seller's market, with homes priced under $500k very much favouring sellers. Homes prices over $500k are moving closer to a buyer's market, but not yet there.
Spring is a busy selling season. The MOI should move closer to a buyer's market over the summer. However, for a major shift, we will need significantly more listings and / or fewer sales.
