SAN BERNARDINO �In an effor to increase its position in the global market place, San Bernardino County has spent more than $160,000 sending two trade delegations to China, but in its recent report the grand jury had found two recurring complaints in the program.
The San Bernardino County Economic Development Agency has held two trade missions to China comprising of elected officials and several businesses representatives in an effort to integrate San Bernardino County into the global market place.
The grand jury found that more time needed to be taken to learn what the participating companies manufacture or promote, so that appropriate matches could be made with their Chinese counterparts. The second complaint noted in the report is that the interpreters be more qualified to facilitate better communication.
During the 2007 trade mission, the Economic Development Agency commissioned California State University of San Bernardino Professor Catherine Levitt to serve as the principal observer of the mission and produce a report on how to improve it.
"The grand jury caught on to the same things that we were looking at and that we're trying to improve," said Paul Herrera, spokesman for the Economic Development Agency.
Herrera said that there is always room for improvement in matching local businesses to counterparts in China, but that all the participating businesses that he's followed up with have had positive feedback about the trips.
Businesses interested in going on a trade mission must fill out an extensive questionnaire and describe what they are looking for. That information is then translated so it can be understood by businesses in China.
"As it turned out, some of those interpretations weren't very good," Herrera said. "There were things that weren't done well."
Herrera said that there is now in-house staff capable of looking over the proposals to make sure things are done right.
In terms of the cost of the trips versus the benefit to the county, Herrera said that it is a long-term expenditure with a long-term return.
"The long-term benefits are going to far outweigh the cost of these trips," Herrera said. "Just drawing one major company that employs 50 people would probably pay for the program for years."
China accounts for slightly more than half of the county's $16.5 billion in international trade, according to a 2006 report by the Claremont Graduate University.
More than 45,000 jobs in San Bernardino County exist as a result of international trade, according to the report.
Fourth District Supervisor Gary Ovitt's Chief of Staff Mark Kirk went on both trade missions and said that he has had conversations with business representatives who have found the missions invaluable.
One such company was able to cut out the middle man and go straight to its manufacturer, saving 10 to 15 percent that they then spent on personnel creating more county jobs, Kirk said.
Herrera said another China trade mission is planned for later this year or early 2009.

Telefonix pay the utmost attention to going the extra mile to help you understand technology and to make your technology acquisition a transparent, comfortable one, backed up by as much information as you need and as many demonstrations as you should ever want. That's why we're here - to help you.
Telefonix credentials include Avaya SME Expert, Avaya Partner in Customer Excellence and Microsoft Small Business Specialist. Besides our experience of the IP Office system with over 2500 installs under our belt, Telefonix Voice & Data also has a unique set of IP Office phone system packages unique to the UK.
Join us in our CEC for a personalised look at your office phone system project.
Talk To Us We know everything there is to know about IP Office. If you have an unusual requirement, talk to us!
Demo Spend some time with us going over your project in detail, make sure it does exactly what you need.
IP Office VoiceMail Pro, the business voicemail software included within Telefonix phone system bundles, includes an inbuilt auto-attendant amongst its many features. Nestled within VoiceMail Pro is a multi-level configuration tool (the VoiceMail Pro client) which allows network managers and system administrators to construct an interactive menu system, based upon DTMF telephone key entry. You can choose to program this yourself but normally you'd leave something like this up to a company like us to program for you (included for free in bundles). The auto attendant system is built and configured to suit your business needs, be that on its own or as a back-up for the regular operator when call volumes are high. IP Office VoiceMail Pro offers the caller the ability to dial the name of a person via the phone keypad (like "Text" messaging on mobile cell telephones). In response the Auto-Attendant offers the caller a best match name or if there is more than one, a selection list is offered and the caller can select which one they want to call.
As an example, the Telefonix team using IP Office VoiceMail Pro will build you an Auto-Attendant that prompts callers to "enter 1 for sales, 2 for support, 3 for admin, or 0 for the operator" allowing them to be transferred to the appropriate department without operator intervention. Alternatively, a list of personnel and their extension numbers could be listed, allowing the caller to directly access the person they want. For larger companies it could be department name listed first, followed by the list of employee extensions within the department.
The latter two examples are ideal where company telephone operation has changed from a central operator to direct dialing (DDI/DID), allowing callers to "learn" the required extension number from the prompting of VoiceMail Pro, and then in future dial the extension number, or other pre-defined variables, directly. Auto- Attendant operation is also ideal where multiple languages are required, for example "Dial 1 for English, 2 for German, 3 for French, ...".
Whatever your needs, we will help you get the most out of your auto attendant service and make sure it suits your business:
An Auto attendant is also included inside embedded voicemail:

The postgenomic era, as manifest, inter alia, by proteomics, offers unparalleled opportunities for the efficient discovery of safe, efficacious, and novel subunit vaccines targeting a tranche of modern major diseases. A negative corollary of this opportunity is the risk of becoming overwhelmed by this embarrassment of riches. Informatics techniques, working to address issues of both data management and through prediction to shortcut the experimental process, can be of enormous benefit in leveraging the proteomic revolution. In this disquisition, we evaluate proteomic approaches to the discovery of subunit vaccines, focussing on viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasite systems. We also adumbrate the impact that proteomic analysis of host-pathogen interactions can have. Finally, we review relevant methods to the prediction of immunome, with special emphasis on quantitative methods, and the subcellular localization of proteins within bacteria.

Dialogue About Land Justice
Dialogue About Land Justice comprises a selection of papers presented to the national Native Title Conference, among them, Australia's leading thinkers, senior jurists and Indigenous leaders.
The book encapsulates the key issues that have been at the forefront of discussions about native title for a decade. The papers clearly place native title within a broader discussion of land justice and the place of Indigenous peoples in relation to the Australian political and legal framework.
An international perspective, including papers about Aotearoa New Zealand and the United States of America, provides a comparative understanding of Indigenous land rights and interests.
Contributors include: Mick Dodson, Marcia Langton, Noel Pearson, Chief Justice Robert French, Justice John Basten, Tom Calma, Aden Ridgeway and Graeme Neate.
Dialogue About Land Justice is edited by Dr Lisa Strelein, Director of Research Programs, including the Native Title Research Unit at AIATSIS, whose research and publications focus on Indigenous peoples and the state, and the role of courts in defining Indigenous peoples' rights.
These men and women do justice to the legacy of Eddie's fight for title to his land, the land of the Mer people.—Mrs Bonita Mabo, wife of Eddie Mabo

text: Speedy Chicken Biryani Family & kids recipes 0 Prep: 20 minutes Cook: 15 minutes Age Suitability: 1 year Meal Type: Dinner Portion: 4 Freezable: No Continues below ad A deliciously spicy meal that is served in one pot, suitable for toddlers from 1 year Ingredients 200g rice 100g French beans, top and tailed and cut in half 130ml water 4 tomatoes, cut into quarters 4 tbsp base korma sauce 2 chicken breast fillets (about 260g) 2 hard-boiled eggs 1 medium red onion, peeled and finely chopped 1 tbsp vegetable oil Small bunch fresh coriander, finely chopped Curry paste Method Cut the chicken into 2–3cm diced pieces and place in a bowl. Cook the rice according to the instructions on the packet. If you haven't already hard-boiled the eggs, pop them in a separate pan in cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Then drain through a colander and leave to stand in fresh cold water to cool. Heat the vegetable oil in the large saucepan, then add the chicken, half of the chopped coriander and base korma sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring all the time. Add the chopped red onion and French beans and cook for a further 3 minutes. Add the tomato quarters, and add the water gradually – you may not need it all. Your Speedy Biryani should be moist enough for the flavours to spread through evenly, but it shouldn't be wet. Cook for a further 3 minutes while stirring. Add the cooked rice. Mix well, cover and simmer for 2 minutes. You might want to add a little bit more water now. Peel the shell from the hard-boiled eggs and slice into quarters. Spoon the Speedy Biryani into a large serving dish and garnish with hard-boiled egg quarters and a sprinkling of fresh coriander. Cut into smaller bite-sized pieces for young toddlers. Hints & Tips For a vegetarian option try using 300g of Quorn fillets – prepare and cook in the same way as the chicken. For an even speedier recipe, buy pre-cooked rice so this can just be added at step 9. This will save on washing up too. You'll need about 500g of cooked rice. If you want older children to help, ask them to chop the coriander and French beans using kitchen scissors. It's not advisable to reheat rice, so this isn't a dish to save for later. Like this?

An interview with BenchFly.com founder Alan Marnett
In 2009, chemist Alan Marnett decided he'd seen too many of his friends struggle in the lab and eventually leave science. Desperate to help reverse this trend, he left his postdoctoral fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to start BenchFly.com, a resource dedicated to providing researchers with protocols to support their lives both in and out of the lab.
ASBMB: How did you get involved with science and eventually decide to become a scientist?Marnett: For as long as I can remember, I've been a math and science guy. They just always made more sense to me in school. I think my research started in the kitchen with baking soda and vinegar. Not surprisingly, those experiments never yielded anything more than a huge mess.
There was also probably a serious genetic component to my interest in science – both my father and grandfather are chemists. So I grew up around the lab, and it was a powerful influence on how my career unfolded.
In college, I decided it was time to explore what else was out there. I took philosophy, religion, economics, you name it. If it didn't have a lab, I took it. Two years later, I realized that maybe it was time to get back to the lab. I joined an organic chemistry group and was incredibly fortunate to work with a terrific postdoc who showed me what real research looked like, and I was hooked.
ASBMB: Did you always know that you wanted to get a Ph.D.?Marnett: I don't think the thought ever really crossed my mind until I started working in a lab in college. That experience really brought science to life for me. During my time in the lab, I became interested in how chemistry might be used to solve biological problems. Unfortunately, I hadn't taken any biology or biochemistry in college, so after graduation that whole "biological problems" thing was a bit of a mystery to me.
I decided to take some time off before graduate school to try to pick up biology, so I worked as a technician in a pharmacology lab at the University of California, San Diego. During that year, the University of California, San Francisco created a new program in chemistry and chemical biology, which was dedicated to applying chemistry to biological problems (sounds familiar …). From that point on, I was driven to do whatever it took to get into that graduate school.
ASBMB: It seems that you traveled the typical path of training and preparation to become an academic scientist up through your postdoc. At what point did you realize or what experience(s) did you have that made you realize that you didn't want to do bench science anymore?Marnett: From the first day of graduate school, I thought I wanted to be a professor and one day have a lab of my own. So I trained and prepared accordingly both as a grad student and a postdoc. About two years into my postdoc, I felt I owed it to myself to at least consider other career options before deciding to marry the lab.
I had also developed an idea for a resource I thought could benefit scientists, and I realized that time was running out if I ever wanted to try to move it from my head to reality. In exploring other career options, I found that entrepreneurship offered many of the aspects I loved about academics while also allowing me to pursue my dream.
ASBMB: Was it difficult to commit to the decision to leave bench science?Marnett: It was very difficult. I had been in the lab for nearly 15 years, and I loved doing experiments. Research had really become part of my identity, so leaving that behind was tough. Part of me worried that all of the training at the bench wasn't worth it since I ended up leaving anyway.
Because I had always envisioned becoming a professor, I think there was also a feeling of failure in leaving the academic path. There was a sense that somehow leaving the bench was not fulfilling the trajectory that grad students and postdocs should follow. Much of that may have been a result of pressure I put on myself.
I also think it was tough because you never [want to] feel like you're disappointing people. Throughout my career at the bench, there were many friends, family members and colleagues who helped me pursue the academic path. So I worried that changing course would let them down. Fortunately, that worry was really in my head, as everyone has been very supportive of my transition away from the bench.
ASBMB: After you decided that you didn't want to follow the more traditional path, what road less traveled did you take?Marnett: I think starting a lab is much like starting a small [business] venture, so as I looked around for other careers, I gravitated toward entrepreneurial opportunities. I had been kicking an idea around for a web-based resource for scientists called BenchFly for several years, and the time seemed right to take a chance on it.
The seeds were planted for BenchFly during my undergraduate research experience, though I didn't realize it at the time. I worked with a fantastic postdoc, Chad Peterson, who had a passion for teaching and who also had golden hands – every reaction he set up seemed to work. Chad taught me all of the tips and tricks he'd learned over the years, and it was those techniques that gave me the skills and confidence to continue in research.
As I entered graduate school, it became clear to me that not everyone was like Chad. I realized that whether a student gets properly trained or not is unfortunately pretty random – it depends on the project, the lab, the PI. I saw many colleagues end up in bad situations that eventually soured them on research and drove them to leave science altogether. It seemed to me we could do better.
So, although I didn't have the details quite worked out, I knew that I wanted to try to develop a resource that supported scientists and made them feel that they have a mentor and partner committed to their success both in and out of the lab – like a virtual Chad.
ASBMB: Could you give our readers an idea of what your current job involves?Marnett: Much like research, the job requires creative problem solving. However, instead of thinking about proteins, cells and gels, I focus on site functionalities, content development, marketing, Facebook, Twitter, etc. – no two days are the same. While it's always challenging, it's been fun and rewarding to see BenchFly become a reality after years of existing only in my head.
Our mission is to provide researchers with the community and tools they need to develop both professionally and personally in order to make research a better career today and for future generations of scientists. We're [also] trying to knock down some of the stereotypes that learning science has to be serious and boring – showing the world that science can be fun, irreverent and exciting. There's a video on the site showing a grad student trying to eliminate static from a scale. Nontraditional science to say the least … but very valuable information.
In addition to videos, our blog topics range from professional (What Makes a Great Graduate Student?) to personal (Lessons from a Recovering Postdoc) to recipes (Poverty Nutrition: A Fugue in Egg Minor) to, well, Chuck Norris (Chuck Norris, Scientist?).
ASBMB: Does any of the training or education that you received help you in your current career path; i.e., can someone without a doctorate do what you do?Marnett: As I mentioned earlier, one of my fears in leaving the bench was that 15 years of training was going to be flushed down the toilet – that would be a tough pill to swallow. It turns out BenchFly is very science-specific, so I don't think I could have done what I'm doing now without a Ph.D. However, to your larger point – I think my training as a scientist has been invaluable in my development as an entrepreneur. Beyond scientific knowledge, graduate school develops critical thinking, communication skills and problem-solving abilities – all of which are vital to success in any career.
ASBMB: What advice would you give to undergraduates who may know that they like science and may want a career in science but don't yet know exactly what they want to do once they graduate?Marnett: I think we're witnessing a shift in thinking in the career in which the traditional career path no longer means academics. We're seeing that there are many opportunities to contribute to science both in and out of the lab, so students should not feel limited to one or two career choices when they get out.
I'd encourage students who don't know exactly what they want to do to talk to people in as many different careers as possible. People love talking about themselves, so take advantage of it! Set up 15- to 20-minute phone calls to ask people about their jobs – what they do, what they like, what they don't like, etc. Not only will these informational interviews provide you with a good idea of what various careers involve, but they also help to expand your personal network, which is incredibly valuable when you start to look for a job or a graduate school.
I would also recommend taking a year or two off before graduate school. Many of us feel the need to rush straight from college to grad school or else risk falling behind. As it turns out, the most successful grad students I knew all took time off before starting graduate school. It gave them a perspective and drive that wasn't always present in students coming straight from undergraduate.

text: Addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753914 This patchset adds a check if a device has been resized since being added to LVM's control. The background of this patchset was customer case where the devices had been resized, but it was not detected by LVM until they tried to do an 'lvcreate' and got the cryptic "reload ioctl failed". Start by adding a _check_pv_sizes() function which goes through all PVs in a VG and verifies whether the current device size is smaller than the recorded size of the PV. Next, call _check_pv_sizes() from vg_read_internal() and flag a warning. We flag a warning here instead of failing to allow for a repair function to be added later. Also call _check_pv_sizes() from vg_validate(). This will catch things like a pvcreate being done, and then later the device size changes and you try adding it to the VG. For now, flag this as an error and don't allow metadata updates if a PV like this is detected. We could relax this and just do a warning for now. Finally, add a nightly test function, resize_dev, to assist in testing this, as well as a specific t-pv-resized.sh test which demonstrates vgextend failing when a PV gets sized smaller. Further patches could include adding to 'pvck' and/or 'vgck' the ability to repair (provided no LVs would be affected, for any resized device, call 'pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize' using the current device size). Ran against nightly tests with no failures, some warnings: Testing with locking_type 1 ## 91 tests 62:01 : 71 OK, 6 warnings, 0 failures; 14 skipped

This is a type of retail packaging. The clamshell packets which carry and hold toys, gifts, electronic goods, cosmetics and food items are nothing but the thermoformed packages. These are forms by melting the plastics. The melted plastic is then treated under vacuum and pressure over the customized moulds. This molding gives the particular shape to the plastic. It is then trimmed and cut to give it the desired shape. It is then assembled to pack the product. The custom based moulds are formed according to the product which is to be packed.
The thermoformed plastic thus gives the feature of both protection and display. The hard plastic case protects the product from dirt and injury. The transparent nature display the product features inside the clamshell. You can find such clamshell in the boxes containing the toys. The cell phones and accessories are also available in such casing.
Food items are also packed in such packages. This is because thermoformed packages don't affect the food properties, it keep the food tightly packed inside which prevent it from getting contaminated.
The other advantages of thermoformed plastic are:
- They are light in weight and durable.
- They reduce per unit packaging cost of the product. This help the company to cut down on the packaging cost of the product and thus increase profits.
- The thermoformed plastic is sustainable. It can be recycled and thus this reduces the garbage which is dumped by the companies in the environment. Thus the thermoforming technology is environment friendly.
- The plastic used for packaging is stiffer than the average plastic. This gives the products a high quality packaging.
- The stiff nature of the material has led the manufacturers to down grade to smaller containers.
- It acts as a better marketing tool for the manufacturers. The product features are displayed and thus the buyer can see what actually lies inside the packet.
- The transportation and inbound costs are reduced as the packaging does not add to the total weight of the product.
The thermoformed packaging has taken the industries on waves. You can find almost all the items in the departmental store in such packs. The wide application and use of the plastic in itself indicate its advantages.

Remember Me
Welcome to the ECAJPS Open Access Journal
The East and Central African Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences is dedicated to all aspects of Pharmaceutical Sciences research and is published in English.
The scientific papers published in the Journal fall into three main categories: review papers, original research papers and short communications. Review Papers in any discipline of pharmaceutical sciences are written at the invitation of the editor. They may cover highly specialized fields or general subjects of importance. Original research papers and short communications should describe original and unpublished work. The main purpose of short communications is rapid communication of brief (and often preliminary) research results on current topical issues. They should be limited to one or two double-spaced written pages. Original research papers are subjected to external review, whereas short communications may sometimes only be reviewed by the receiving editor.
Three issues are published every year in print form. The full text is also published online by the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP)/African Journal Online (AJOL) at http://www.ajol.info.

Phil Joanou @ The New Beverly Theater in Los Angeles (10/17/2012)
October 26, 2012, 09:39:09 AM »
The New Beverly Theater, an art-house theater in Los Angeles, recently hosted an event showing of "3 'o Clock High" and "Rattle & Hum" with a Q&A with Phil Joanou and actors from 3 'o Clock High. I live in LA and go to many events at the New Beverly Theater, which happens to be owned and curated by Quentin Tarantino. There were a lot of people who enjoyed 3'o clock high and especially the fun Q&A with Joanou (who, if he dyed his hair, you'd never guess has aged a day), Richard Tyson (almost ditto), and Philip Baker Hall (timeless). The Q&A was mostly about 3'o clock high, although the really touching thing is that PBH is barely in the movie, but came out to the event because one of his closest friends played the vice principal in the movie and died only a few years ago (John P. Ryan). He had some touching anecdotes. Richard Tyson surprised the crowd when he was asked what he did before he came out to Hollywood, and it turns out he has a Master's in Theater from Cornell University and was a drama professor there as well! You'd never guess with that tough guy look and act he's done so well. Phil's from LA, and when 3 'o clock opened nationally, he and his friends went to the local theater where they saw Alien, Superman, Star Wars, Jaws, and other favorite movies. Phil was devastated by the fact that at the Friday night 8pm showing, he and his 2 friends were amongst less than 10 people total. The movie bombed. Phil thanked the New Beverly crowd because he said there were more people here that cared about this movie than that night and that meant a lot to him.
The crowd got bigger for Rattle and Hum, though. A lot of people in their 20s, and mostly women, which was interesting. Phil didn't talk much about U2, but he did make some nice and interesting comments. He was asked how he got the job. Phil was in post-production on 3'o clock high when he was offered to meet with U2 as an interview for the job. He explained that because he was known at the time as Spielberg's protege (he directed a couple episodes of Amazing Stories, including the pilot, and Spielberg essentially green lit the movie via his power at Universal at the time), his name always came up with studios and producers at the time as the next hot director.
He flew out to Dublin when he was supposed to be editing 3PM High. He met with each band member individually, although they each ditched him. Bono ditched him at the home of a couple where they were all supposed to have dinner (he stayed for dinner). Someone ditched him at a bar. Each time, U2's friends and associates would stay and entertain, but they would also ask subtle questions to suss him out. He didn't hear from them, and suddenly they offered it to him. He went on to say that the 3PM High-Rattle & Hum-State of Grace (the next feature he made) period of his career was the best period of his creative life. He's basically a work for hire director now (he directed a movie with the Rock not too long ago), so I'm hoping he gets more work soon.
I have only seen Rattle & Hum on film once as an IMAX projection (and I'm pretty sure it was just a standard projection just blown up), and the rest of the multiple viewings on VHS, DVD and HD TV. Seeing this film for the first time on film on a regular size film screen was a revelation. The black and white footage is so much more palpable; you can see Joanou's debt to Scorcese (he said he was his biggest influence). Watching the black and white scenes was like watching a rock and roll version of "Raging Bull". People clapped after Helter Skelter, Exit, Bad, With or Without You, and Pride.
When Sun Devil Stadium came up, I could sense the whole theater getting excited with me. The silhouettes were much starker on film. When the house lights came up and the whole enormous sellout crowd was revealed, the theater noticeably gasped.
My overall impression of the film now, having truly seen it as it was meant to: To me, the film is great up until they go to Sun Studios and the Save the Yuppie concert in SF. BB saves it and the rest is a smooth and really strong ending. You don't really get a full sense of why they went to Sun Studios. Yes, it's impressive that you got Elvis' engineer and the original tile flooring, but why did you want to go? Was it just a bit of what Bono has called "creative tourism" (re: "Miami")? It's not even addressed. The STY concert footage lags mainly because I think it's a weak version of the song. I'm a die hard U2 fan with tons of bootlegs from over the years. U2 would probably be the first ones to admit that the first time they ever played a song live was almost never the definitive version they end up playing. The Dublin Point Depot 1989 NYE show has the best U2 performance of this song, IMO. This was as weak as you could expect when you see them half assing it in the trailer before they play. I've seen it a million times, but seeing Paul McGuinness ask on camera, "Who do we know that knows all the words to 'All Along The Watchtower'?" on the big screen has a different effect. It doesn't even seem like a song they were super excited to play under that context, and the performance betrays it. It feels like someone convinced them they had to play a big hippie/liberal anthem for a SF crowd, and this was the easiest one they could learn. World's worst wedding band, and all that.
But the way the film works with BB King and then to Graceland and then to Larry's aside about his whole take on Elvis is beautifully done. Hearing Bono explain to the Texas crowd that they recently got into BB and figured 'let's see if we can hook up when we're in his town' was such an organic segue into the whole chapter of the movie; the Sun Studios segment could have used some better context. Meeting BB, going through rehearsals, and hearing BB nicely compliment Bono on the lyrics was a lovely edited piece of film.
The trip to Graceland was more mournful on screen, and Larry's point about Elvis' grave in the back garden seemed even more bittersweet. Deep down you can tell he's scared that he could be another innocent but talented country bumpkin who let success ruin his short life. It's Larry's loss of innocence moment, if you will. Bad is the perfect complement to this moment in the film.
My favorite parts of the film: Exit and WOWY.

Well done zooguitar! I was also there that evening for the screening. Listening to the stories from Phil and then seeing Rattle and Hum on the big screen for the first time was something else. I could not agree more on your Ragging Bull reference as it looked so stunning on that screen. I swear I was grinning most of the movie, just excited to be in the audience!

musical, Sydney, Capital Theatre, philosopical thoughts
Wicked @ the Capital
This was a very impressive performance. First, the physical stage and set: the Stage didn't extend very far out into the audience due to the necessity of having use of the orchestra pit. However, the set design did extend across the entire front of the auditorium. Description: the curtain was a map of the Land of Oz (in a Middle Earth, Lord of the Rings kind of illustration–teh Emerald City at the center.) The sides of the stage to the box seats were covered in old lumber, old pulleys and tied up bunches of rope. These all appeared to be covered in cobwebs and dust. There was also a very large mechanical "paper" dragon suspended above the proscenium. Upon further observation, you can see bits and pieces of cogs and gears (machinery.) The primary element of the physical set was the gears and faces of watches and clocks. (Time is important.) Some video projections were used to further enhance the expressive possibilities of the set. There was an excellent use of lighting and smoke to enhance the storyline.
The sound was fine, the actors clear and in tune and the orchestra strong.
The story is a retelling of Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz," from the viewpoints of Glenda and Elfa (good and wicked witches.) It begins with a back story of their school days, the meeting of the wizard, disillusion with reality and subsequent playing out of their convictions.
The theme throughout most of the play seems to be the contradiction of what is and what seems to be (Elfa is smart and good/Glenda is shallow and power hungry.) People don't seem to understand that and assign those roles to the opposite characters. Truth is what we choose to believe and our tragedy is to live out the lies others believe about us. Magic doesn't really happen, it is all manipulated in a calculated, mechanical way.
Even though Glenda sings about how happiness is getting everything you want–no one gets anything they want because we live the lie, attempting to please others, gain power or both. It is also about how others will begin to believe lies if told often enough.
The constant presence of the clock faces reminds us (as the hour glass did in the original story) that time is running out. It all begs the question, "What choices will you make with the time you have left?" It is a good question. But I feel that the relativity of truth told in the musical belies a solid reason to give much of a thoughtful answer. However, the play did make me ask the question in light of my own belief in our beneficent God–who, by the way is not a man behind a curtain pulling levers and blowing smoke. God never wanted us to be happy–he wants us to be right. Joy flows out of that relationship.
We also visited the Sydney Opera House. A very beautiful and impressive place.

<< -- 2 -- Robert Anderson CRUELTY SCORNED
Mozart set about the work under pressure: it was originally to be performed among the
welcome offerings of Joseph II for Grand Duke Paul of Russia and his wife Maria Feodorovna,
travelling as Count and Countess of the North. The performance was postponed, so Mozart was
able to indulge his genius at ever-expanding length. Paul eventually heard the work, but
clearly forgot any lesson from Selim's admirable clemency when ultimately ascending the
throne as absolute tsar. The British ambassador, under the impression of an imperial decree
that recalcitrant nobles might be flogged, branded, or have their nostrils slit, considered
him 'literally not in his senses'.

Ann Swenson); but the sea trip has in no way impaired his delivery of an exacting initial

A main obstacle to his rescue plan is the ample figure of Kurt Rydl's Osmin, already

Hawaii 35, Tulane 23
David Graves accounted for three scores and Joey Iosefa two
others to lead Hawaii to a 35-23 win over Tulane Saturday.
The Warriors (6-6) racked up 482 offensive yards, including 358
passing, to snap a three-game losing skid.
Graves threw touchdown passes of 17 and 12 yards – both to
Trevor Davis – and ran in another score from 15 yards out in his
first career start. He left the game late in the third quarter with
a head injury.
Hawaii held a 21-14 halftime lead and extended it on Graves'
second scoring connection with Davis early in the third quarter.
Tulane got a safety when it tackled Iosefa in the end zone later
that quarter. A touchdown run by Orleans Darkwa in the fourth
quarter made it 28-23.
The Green Wave (2-11) got no closer. Iosefa sealed it with his
second touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter.
The Warriors – an 18-point favorite by most Las Vegas betting
lines – were playing in their first game since news broke of an
alleged point-shaving scandal involving their football players.
An anonymous letter making the claims was sent to the school
Nov. 3, accusing unnamed players of intentionally playing poorly to
affect the score as part of a gambling scheme.
Hawaii scored on the game's opening drive with a 17-yard pass
from Graves to Davis.
Tulane tied it on an 11-yard touchdown run by Albert Williams
later in the first quarter, but Graves answered for the Warriors
with a 15-yard scamper that made it 14-7.
The Green Wave used a 13-play drive that covered 68 yards and
was capped by a 1-yard plunge into the end zone by Darkwa to tie it
at 14 early in the second quarter.
Hawaii returned the favor on its ensuing possession and
reclaimed the lead on Iosefa's 1-yard run with seven minutes left
until halftime.
Tulane failed to convert on two first-half field goals by Cairo
Santos. A 39-yard attempt sailed wide left and a 40-yarder on the
final play of the second quarter was blocked by Hawaii's John
Graves finished 21-of-28 passing for 260 yards with two
interceptions. Shane Austin, who replaced him late in the game, was
9 of 10 for 98 yards. Corey Paredes led all players with 13 tackles
for Hawaii.
It was the first meeting between the teams since 2002, when
Tulane beat Hawaii 36-28 in the Hawaii Bowl.
Hawaii can become bowl-eligible if it beats BYU next week. If
the Warriors win, they would host a Conference USA team in the
Hawaii Bowl at Aloha Stadium on Christmas Eve.

Community support
Funding level: £10,001 to £25,000
Our van driver Pete is always delighted if our van starts- and, much as he loves using a screwdriver instead of a key to get it going, we'd rather Pete could do his rounds in a safer, greener and more efficient van.
Dorset Scrapstore is a registered charity that encourages environmental sustainability and reduces financial barriers to participation in creative arts. We do this by supplying over 2000 members of our community with convenient, low-cost access to recycled arts and crafts materials, via our Scrapstore in Poole.
Since our foundation in 1999, Dorset Scrapstore has been collecting clean and safe industrial surplus materials from donor manufacturers across the county. We collaborate with local business to ensure waste materials (plastics, foam, fabrics, paints etc.) stay out of landfill, and instead reach the shelves of our store.
Dorset Scrapstore empowers the community to reuse and repurpose these materials in support of their own arts, crafts, learning and play activities.
Because of our kind donors and the demand for our stock, our 17 year old van is on its last legs. We've loved and cared for it, but it can't go on forever.
If our van fails and we cannot collect materials, our store cannot operate, and our whole charity is at risk- which is why we are asking for your support.
To date, Dorset Scrapstore has diverted an estimated 247 tonnes of 'waste' (that's 22 tonnes more that the weight of the Statue of Liberty!)away from landfill and into the hands of creative local people.
It'd take all of the woodland areas in Dorset over 6 years to save the same amount of manufacturing CO2 emissions as Scrapstore has since 2000. We've done that by enabling our community to reuse surplus manufacturing materials, apposed to buying new.
Our affordable resources facilitate the delivery of broad spectrum creative arts projects in over 70 schools and 220 community groups, which in turn provide services to low income families, the elderly and the disabled. A quarter of our members live in areas that fall within the most deprived areas of England (based on ONS Multiple Index of Deprivation).
Dorset Scrapstore is accessible to the public four days a week (including evenings and weekends). An average of 174 people per week source materials from us, and on average, 42 new people join us every week (YTD figures 2017).
Alongside the provision of materials, our organisation runs a programme of practical and educational workshops focused on arts and the environment. We also provide a range of volunteering opportunities within our store which specifically engage those at risk of social marginalisation (such as young offenders and those recovering from periods of mental ill health).
Our ability to continue serving the community really hinges on our having a van to collect stock. You'll see from our pictures what a poor state the current van is in, because of its age and heavy use. We've had it 17 years, and even then it was second hand! Just look at what it's doing to Pete our driver. He's only 21 and looked like David Beckham before he started driving for us- this is what the worry has done to him!
So, support Dorset Scrapstore and support hundreds of people in our community to stay green, keep creative and improve our local environment....and save Pete, before its too late!

Interbrew UK withdraws batch with traces of cleaning fluid
"The affected product may contain traces of cleaning fluid used during the brewing process to clean the inside of beer storage tanks," it said.
It said the contamination did not represent a public health issue, but that beer contaminated with cleaning fluid could have an unpleasant taste and smell, and "if consumed may cause some discomfort to the mouth and throat."
A company spokeswoman said the recall covered "around about 9,000 cans" of beer.

As the editor of OV Parent and a mom, I?have been fortunate to get to know many wonderful local champions of children. These are the folks who work with persistence and perseverance to improve programs that benefit the health and well-being of children and parents. And when they discover a vital program that doesn't exist here, they create it.
Every year in April, Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Ohio County Partners in?Prevention Team recognizes three such champions, nominated by parents, community members, professionals and agency representatives. This year, the winners of the Deborah Doleski Allen Champions of Children Awards are three people I have long admired for their tireless dedication and their can-do attitudes. I am blessed to call them my friends; our children's lives are immeasaurably better because of them.
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the 2017 winners: Claudia Raymer, executive director of the Ohio County Family Resource Network; Melody Osborne with the Adolescent Health Initiative; and Ron Scott Jr., founder of the Ohio?Valley African American Student Association, formerly with Youth Services System and now with the YWCA Wheeling. They will be honored at 2 p.m. April 21 at a ceremony held at Catholic Charities, 2000 Main St., Wheeling. The ceremony is free and open to the public.

Data Entry and Update Using Stored Procedures
Probably the best attribute of a stored procedure is that it allows the developer to have a direct programmatic with to the back-end database. Based on this relationship, you can use a stored procedure to perform data entry.
To create a new record in a table, you can use the INSERT TABLE expression of the SQL. If the table doesn't have a primary key, you can create an argument for each column of the table. If the table has a primary key, you can create an argument for each column of the table but you should/must omit one for the primary key. Here is an example of such a procedure from a database called Familia that has a table named Persons with the PersonID(Primary Key), FirstName, LastName, GenderID, and Notes columns:
IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE name = N'CreateNewRecord' AND type = 'P') DROP PROCEDURE CreateNewRecord GO CREATE PROCEDURE CreateNewRecord @FirstName VarChar(20), @LastName VarChar(20), @Gender int, @Notes Text AS INSERT Persons(FirstName, LastName, GenderID, Notes) VALUES(@FirstName, @LastName, @Gender, @Notes) GO
After creating the stored procedure, you can then create an application design the form to include the fields for columns represented in the table.
using System; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Collections; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Data.SqlClient; namespace CIS2 { /// <summary> /// Summary description for OrderProcessing. /// </summary> public class OrderProcessing : System.Windows.Forms.Form { . . . No Change private void btnNewRecord_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Find out the state (actually caption) of the New Order button if( this.btnNewOrder.Text.Equals("New Order") ) { // If it is displaying New Order, then reset the form to get ready // for a new customer order this.txtOrderID.Text = ""; this.cboProcessedBy.SelectedIndex = 0; this.dtpOrderDate.Value = DateTime.Today; this.dtpOrderTime.Value = DateTime.Now; this.cboFlavor.SelectedIndex = 0; this.cboContainer.SelectedIndex = 0; this.cboIngredient.SelectedIndex = 0; this.txtScoops.Text = "1"; // Set the caption of the button to Submit // to indicate that the button will need to be clicked // to validate an order this.btnNewOrder.Text = "Submit"; } else // If the button is displaying Submit, then process an order { // Create a new SqlCommand command, passing it the name of // the stored procedure we want to call and attaching it to // the existing SQL connection SqlCommand cmdNew = new SqlCommand("ProcessNewOrder", this.sqlConnection1); SqlDataAdapter sdaNew = new SqlDataAdapter(cmdNew); // Let the SQL command know the type of command we are going to use // In this case, it is a stored procedure cmdNew.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; // We will need a SQL parameter to carry the arguments // Declare its variable SqlParameter parNew = new SqlParameter(); // Specify the name of the argument parNew.ParameterName = "@ProcessedBy"; // Specify the SQL data type of the argument parNew.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Int; // Specify the value passed as argument parNew.Value = this.cboProcessedBy.SelectedIndex; // Once the argument is ready, add it to the list of arguments cmdNew.Parameters.Add(parNew); parNew = new SqlParameter(); parNew.ParameterName = "@DateOrdered"; parNew.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.SmallDateTime; parNew.Value = this.dtpOrderDate.Value; cmdNew.Parameters.Add(parNew); parNew = new SqlParameter(); parNew.ParameterName = "@TimeOrdered"; parNew.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.SmallDateTime; parNew.Value = this.dtpOrderTime.Value; cmdNew.Parameters.Add(parNew); parNew = new SqlParameter(); parNew.ParameterName = "@ContainerType"; parNew.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Int; parNew.Value = this.cboContainer.SelectedIndex; cmdNew.Parameters.Add(parNew); parNew = new SqlParameter(); parNew.ParameterName = "@SelectedFlavor"; parNew.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Int; parNew.Value = this.cboFlavor.SelectedIndex; cmdNew.Parameters.Add(parNew); parNew = new SqlParameter(); parNew.ParameterName = "@NbrOfScoops"; parNew.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Int; parNew.Value = int.Parse(this.txtScoops.Text); cmdNew.Parameters.Add(parNew); parNew = new SqlParameter(); parNew.ParameterName = "@WhatIngredient"; parNew.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Int; parNew.Value = this.cboIngredient.SelectedIndex; cmdNew.Parameters.Add(parNew); // Inform the user about the action that is going to occur // (You can also do this after the action has been carried MessageBox.Show("A new customer order has been created"); // Update the data set with the new information from the data adapter sdaNew.Fill(this.dsOrders1, "Orders"); // Change the caption of the button to inform the user this.btnNewOrder.Text = "New Order"; // And move to the last record this.BindingContext[this.dsOrders1, "Orders"].Position = this.BindingContext[this.dsOrders1, "Orders"].Count - 1; } } } }
General Data Update Using a Stored Procedure
When a user is navigating through records and find information that is not accurate, if the user makes a change, you must provide a mechanism to keep the updated value as we did in the previous lesson. This scenario that involves changing existing data of records can be handled by a stored procedure. This is usually done by including an UPDATE statement as part of the procedure.
Criterion-Based Data Update Using a Stored Procedure
One of the jobs of a database developer or administrator is to update records when there is a new request. For example, imagine a company has decided to change the minimum salary of all employees and the manager asks you to make this change. If the company is small as having less than 10 employees, you can easily open the table or the form that holds the employees records, manually examine the employees with the lowest salary, and then change those who have a salary below the company's new set. You can also create an update query that would perform the task. The job here is to check all salaries but to make a change only to those that respond to a specific criterion. For example, if you must change the minimum salary to 8.55, your change would affect only those employees who are making less than $8.55/hr. This type of assignment can be handled by a stored procedure by including an UPDATE statement as part of the procedure.

Children are like little sponges who take in and absorb our fears and anxieties more than we can possibly comprehend. At a time when many people are experiencing financial challenges and uncertainty, it is very important that we take the time to reassure and comfort our children.
Even though you may be stressed and anxious, it is essential to your child's sense of safety and well-being that you let them know that you are strong and will get through whatever circumstances lie before you. As long as your children see that you are okay, they will be okay. Afterall, you are their first line of defense and if you appear hopeless and defeated they will, in all likelihood, begin to feel anxious and frightened themselves.
Visit our Gallery on "Talking to Kids About the Economy" for more tips on helping your children during this financial crisis.
Here's a beautiful prayer to say together as a family:
The light of God surrounds us;
The love of God enfolds us;
The power of God protects us;
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are, God is.
And all is well.
~ Unity Church (Closing Prayer for Protection)

Ricardo Lamas Gets New Opponent, Faces Josh Emmett at UFC on Fox 26 in Winnipeg
Ricardo Lamas won't get his rematch with Jose Aldo, but he will remain on the UFC on Fox 26 card.
"The Bully" will lock horns with Josh Emmett in a featherweight bout on Dec. 16 at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Multiple outlets have confirmed the new pairing after an initial report from Farrah Hannoun via Twitter. The matchup has not been formally announced by the UFC, but verbal agreements are reportedly in place. Lamas was initially slated to face Jose Aldo in a rematch of their featherweight title bout at UFC 169.
UFC on Fox 26 is headlined by a welterweight showdown pitting Robbie Lawler against Rafael dos Anjos. The main card will be televised on the Fox Network, with prelims airing on Fox Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Lamas has won two straight contests, as he submitted Charles Oliveira at UFC Fight Night 98 before earning a first-round technical knockout against Jason Knight at UFC 214. Emmett has won three of his four Octagon appearances and 12 of his 13 professional bouts overall.

Cozy with a maxi fringed knit and a pair of ripped jeans, this is how I love spending those beautiful fall days. Mirrored sunglasses can always stand out and add interest to any outfits.
It feels so good to breathe some fresh air after spending 2 weeks in the busy city of New York. There is so many secret places like the place where we took those pictures which are perfect to disconnect.

I love the relationship between the 3 sisters. It is nowhere near perfect, and reminds me a bit of me and my sisters. This takes place over a large portion of their childhood, not just 1 or 2 years, so they were given the time to mature realistically, not like in all the newer books today that are somewhat rushed. I could relate when it comes to money, although I was not used the 80 year old British money terms, making it somewhat confusing. Another thing that was confusing were all the clothing terms, since I don't sew, and I didn't live 80 years ago when this book took place, and fashion has evolved a lot!
I have avoided learning any Shakespeare, but the little Shakespeare I heard in this book has sparked an interest.

Dharma teachers should be paid a fair amount of money for their expertise and their abilities.
Why isn't meditation taught in schools? Why not in police stations and hospitals? Why isn't it offered in corporations or government administrations? Why not in the military?
It is simply not valued enough, not as a religion, but as a practical way to foster peace and serenity, not to mention spiritual awakening.
I believe it would shift the planets energy towards peace if it were valued, implemented and supported for its full potential. Compassion and wisdom are priceless. This is because they are more valuable than any price we could pay, not because they are impractical or not valuable enough.
There is a sort of "free dharma" movement who's members think Dharma teachers should not be compensated financially for their teachings. These voices, in my experience, are usually practitioners who are not authorized teachers themselves.
So what are we talking about? Well, the teachings for example include "introductions" to meditation, perhaps extended workshops, dharma talks, face to face teachings, books, articles or blogs, or "just" holding the space for meditation to happen. These are offered by teachers who must pay for utilities, maintenance, insurance, food, etc.
As i understand the complaint, since the Buddha didn't charge set fees for his teachings no students seeking teachings should ever be asked to contribute to any of these teachings or activities. But, since the Buddha accepted offerings it is ok for teachers to accept their money as long as it is not asked for.
Let me be clear about my perspective, in our modern American culture, expecting the teacher to cover the overhead for you to come and be taught for free is ludicrous. Not to mention I don't hear anyone pining for the good old celibate days. Things have changed, but the teachings are still pure, in their impurity.
The closest thing i can approximate this mentality to, which is in fact very different, is the 12 step model for support and guidance, I have been sober over 9 years and have done a lot of volunteer service work for free when I could afford it. I also sponsored people to work the steps with no expectation of payment. But when I had my daughter, as a single parent, I could not afford to pay $30 babysitting each time I wanted to go help others. Since no one was going to pay me to help troubled kids I dropped it. I did not expect to be paid because it was a service that kept me sober foremost. Plus I never officially studied or trained in how to lead such groups or be an effective leader. My only skill or quality was that I managed not to use drugs or get arrested for a year or so.
(However, there are paid positions in the 12 step organization to cover administration and salary expenses, and circuit speakers often get paid.)
Compare this to my training to be a Dharma teacher. This took 15 years of consistent weekly participation where I learned all the training positions, how to hold the space for groups and individuals in pain, I learned how to lead ceremonies that mark important life events and how to answer koans and teach the precepts. But most importantly I learned how to accept myself with compassion and realize that I am intimately connected to everyone else.
This is a skill that is hard to appraise. If I could teach you how to play the guitar we would both expect you to pay $30 an hour. But to teach you how to accept your life and find peace is trickier. In my experience learning to let go of attachments is a skill that requires very subtle feedback. Learning how to answer koans or discern emptiness is just as tangible as learning how to act with authentic emotion or be a martial artist, or develop the subtle sensitivity needed to move and balance qi. These latter examples all cost a great deal to perfect and no one expects to learn these life enhancing qualities for free.
I don't know why anyone would expect to learn how to end suffering for free, all I can really say is that I need a certain amount of resources to be able to offer this support.
Money is empty, it is not good or bad, asking for it is not good or bad, giving it is not good or bad. Renunciation also is empty, it is not valuable or ethical in itself. It does not really exist and we cannot absolutely renunciate the basic necessities of life. The buddha never turned down a meal and he accepted offerings, this is not renunciation, this is modesty. He simply took what he needed and didn't ask for more. Of course when he expected others to dedicate their entire lives to his path and support his cause full time was no modest compensation.
Of course we all want teachers to have modest appetites. Most dharma teachers are very modest, I don't know any Zen teachers first hand who have more than 2 luxury cars or excessive profits in their personal bank account from teaching. The teachers that have charged exorbitant amounts for basic teachings are basically shunned by the dharma community and not referred students anymore. This is exceptional and we have learned better how to identify these behaviors and how to warn people against them.
We should not use such poor examples to judge the value of teaching in general. In my "monastic" experience it takes about 15 years of training to begin teaching and 20 to be "certified". Of course we begin with teaching introduction classes, then teaching basics classes, and so on. Most of these beginning teaching opportunities are voluntary and any money given goes to the temple fund. This general fund feeds the temples utilities, maintenance and the teachers salaries or stipends. the standards are generally high for fully authorized teachers.
No doubt we should have standards. Teachers should be transparent about their finances, they should not be greedy, and they should never charge fees based on a promise that "enlightenment" will happen any faster than usual, or present themselves as giving students anything they don't already have.
These standards are quite profound and so the value of authentic Buddhist teachings is great. Most people who practice know its value in todays culture, and many donate as generously as they can. We all want to give and we don't want to be stingy. And we want sincerity and authenticity from the teachers we entrust this generosity. This is not too much to ask.
Today we have many ways to invite support. Whether we have a donation basket in sight, or we openly ask for donations in person, in emails or fundraisers the message is sent passively or actively.
To complicate it further, asking for money is an art of sorts. Some personalities find it more natural and some don't. Teachers have issues with money just like anyone. I personally struggle with self worth and find it very hard to ask for fair compensation for my time. I make under 20k a year for managing and bookkeeping a temple and we decided to stop asking for teacher dana. I am not complaining about this because I'm very happy with my life and feel I have enough and I feel rich. I have never charged for daisan or dharma talks and I dont plan to. But I would love to teach meditation in schools or hospitals or corporations and make enough money to pay for my basic needs. Why should this be unethical to hope for?
I can't say I have easy answers. Perhaps people should be asked to tithe, or give 10% of their profit. Public and private corporations might give 10% of their profits to a "peace of mind" fund for meditation for their employees. There could be teachers for classes in secondary schools to teach this to kids, between the arts and music classes that got cut? Maybe the military could offer meditation to our troops to help them manage PTSD and stress before it goes too far? In my perfect world this would be the case.
We should appreciate full time teachers and try to create a culture of support for them, we should help them fill these important needs in our society. If teachers are expected to support themselves they won't be available to fill such needs. We have a clear need for meditation. Most schools, non-profits and businesses welcome free meditation. There just aren't enough independently wealthy certified teachers to do the job for free.
This is not about me as a teacher trying to defend the money I need to teach. This is about us as a culture seeing the desperate need for meditation in our mainstream ending the suffering of our wold. We have an amazing opportunity to help meditation to be embraced by our mass market culture. We can all begin creating a mentality and spirit of generosity and abundance with the Dharma that starts with taking care of our Dharma teachers.
Otherwise, if you want to play a game where I pretend not to need money for food and shelter and you pretend you're not expected to contribute to this then just ignore the dana coffer strategically stationed at the exit. And if you hope meditation is never budgeted into schools or corporations or the military please start by throwing out all of your dharma books that compensated some kind teacher to sweat it out.
The Dharma is so important to continue. Claiming it is in a special category that is unethical to monetize only makes it harder to integrate into our mainstream awareness. We should be talking about how to support teachers better than we do rather than why we should not pay them anything.
So let's talk about it.

Maturity, as defined by Wikipedia, is a psychological term used to indicate how a person responds to the circumstances or environment in an appropriate manner. At TeamQuest, we define maturity as the moment when IT views everything from a business point of view, rather than a technical standpoint. The focus is on actions that will benefit the company as a whole.
We've entered the nascent stages of understanding how to manage cloud computing and virtual heterogeneous environments. This means management complexity increases since there's no longer a permanent and exclusive relationship between physical resources and the software that runs on it. IT needs the right people, processes and tools to navigate through the hype to make this work.
Capacity management isn't the Holy Grail, but it can provide the information you need to make miraculous decisions. The process is simple. Realize where you are now, plan to move ahead, and take the first step toward greater maturity.
Take this quiz to discover where you are now. Once you get your score, review this 8-page paper. Then take the steps necessary to move to the next stage of maturity. The majority of companies are between stages 1 and 2 (i.e., reactive and proactive).
If that's good enough, then continue on. If you're looking to accurately weigh costs against benefits and risks, measure process efficiency and effectiveness, and link IT services to business processes, then it's time to get to work. Get in touch with us or leave a comment.
Of course, if you're already providing value to the business, let us know how you're doing it. In fact, tell everyone how you're doing it. We all want to respond to business needs in an appropriate manner.

iJET Travel Intelligence Secures $8.1 Million In New Funding
iJET Travel Intelligence, the groundbreaking intelligence agency for the travel industry, has secured another $8.1 million in venture capital.
The new money will give the Annapolis-based company the cash needed to execute its innovative business model of providing real time travel intelligence and customized travel services to corporate travel managers, travel agents and international business and leisure travelers. iJET Chairman and CEO John Power said the closing of a second round of venture capital funding for the start-up firm is a significant vote of confidence from investors.
"In these market conditions only the best companies get funding. We are fortunate to be considered one of them,'' Power said. "We have a unique service proposition and have been able to attract a high quality staff that brings experience in intelligence collection and technology that has never before been assembled in a private company. That balance was an important consideration to investors."
This round was led by EuclidSR Partners, a leading New York- based venture capital firm focused on investments in healthcare, e-health, and information technology. Dr. Barbara Dalton, a EuclidSR partner and iJET director, said, "iJET's progress in building a strong team and performance oriented culture has made this one of our more interesting investments. The early marketing successes with multi-national corporations and leading travel services companies makes us believe it has the potential to be one of our more rewarding as well."
Other institutional investors included PA Early Stage who co-led the first round of financing last August, and Seneca Capital, a Pittsburgh-based investor in growth companies. The latest round comes after the company raised $9.0 million of equity last August and an additional $1.0 million in a bank facility in April.
"We are grateful to our investors, especially for the strong and continued support from EuclidSR and PA Early Stage,'' said iJET Chief Financial Officer Marty Pfinsgraff. "EuclidSR's leadership commitment was important to the success of this round which was completed in a very tough market environment. PA Early Stage's continued support also sent the right signal to new investors. We're extremely pleased to welcome Seneca Capital and new individual investors to the iJET family.''
Gayland Cook, Principal of Seneca Capital, said, "The quality of iJET's clients and caliber of it`s management team were key factors in attracting us to consider an investment at this time."
iJET went live with the launch of it`s WorldcuePro service in April. WorldcuePro is a "smart system" that caters to the needs of travel agents, reservation clerks, and corporate security professionals. Since launching, iJET has announced a number of high-profile corporate and travel clients, including Prudential Securities, Archer Daniels Midland, Worldspan, and Passport Health.
iJET`s suite of services includes WorldcuePro, WorldcueTraveler, and WorldcueBrief, each tailored to meet the specific real time intelligence needs of travelers and travel professionals. iJET`s state of the art technology and operations platform draws from more than 5,000 sources globally. The information is analyzed, verified and distilled into practical, personalized and easily accessible intelligence that helps travelers circumvent potential problems. Experienced intelligence analysts monitor the world 24/7, alerting the travel community to possible trouble in advance, when it matters most.

Along with the shampoo, this is the best drugstore /mass retailer brand on the market.
Suave Professionals Rosemary and Mint Conditioner has a pleasant herbal scent ( Reminds me of the original Clairol Herbal Essence product from the 70's), conditions to leave your hair feeling like liquid silk,smooths and imparts a healthy shine. For the set containing the accompanying shampoo at 3.79, you won't go wrong with this. Highly recommended.

Good smelling product. Wont weigh your hair down which is nice, but my hair needs more moisture than this provides. This leaves my hair a bit dry and frizzy with lots of fly aways. Not a terrible product though for the price.

For me this conditioner is just kind of average. It doesn't do anything special but it's not horrible. I feel like it could be better at detangling since my hair is always harder to comb through after using this. Wouldn't recommend for those with really dry hair because it isn't very moisturizing. I do love the mint fragrance which is why I'd think about repurchasing but it's not a must-have product for me.

I am happy that I can buy this as a SET and am content with the performance of both products. I have hair down to the middle of my back and have cut down to washing every other day. I use the conditioner from just below my neckline and down through the ends. It rinses out nicely and I can comb through my hair nicely (I use a wide tooth comb and the "wetbrush"). I have healthy hair with shine and manageability. I have repurchased many times, also use as a co-wash periodically. Also a fan of the minty-herbal scent.

Love this conditioner! Smells great and keeps my hair healthy! I always repurchase this one becuase I never use any product in my hair besides this and the matching shampoo. These products alone keep my hair in great condition. Great price for the best conditioner!

I purchased both the shampoo and conditioner and ended up pairing the Suave Rosemary Mint Conditioner with the Suave Clarifying Shampoo. I don't know how anyone can NOT wash their hair DAILY, as hair washing is as important as bathing! Do you people who wash your hair once or twice a week also only shower once or twice weekly? SHAME ON YOU! That's disgusting! Your entire body, head to toe needs to be cleansed DAILY! I am not a heavy sweater nor does my hair get very oily, I have normal hair and when I use the Suave Clarifying shampoo along with the Rosemary Mint Conditioner, it leaves my hair absolutely perfect and so refreshed! The Rosemary Mint Conditioner leaves my head very invigorated and the smell lingers all day! I get compliments on how wonderful my hair smells! For the price tag, this conditioner is great! I tried to pair this conditioner along with the Rosemary Mint shampoo but I prefer the Suave Clarifying Shampoo since it leaves a cleaner feeling. How does anyone feel clean if they do not wash their hair daily?? That is just pure laziness. There's a reason the bottle states that these products are for daily use, YOU NEED TO USE THEM DAILY! I highly recommend the Rosemary Mint Conditioner for DAILY use!

Best conditioner ever. Other conditioners always dry out my hair, which is ironic since it's supposed to be moisturizing. However, with this I always get compliments on my hair and it always feels super soft after using this. I don't use the matching shampoo because it is too drying for me, but I love this stuff!

If you're a fan of the first generation of Skins, the pilot of the American adaptation will be very familiar to you — with one notable exception: gorgeous, tap-dancing Maxxie's Big Gay Night Out has been replaced with gorgeous, cheerleading Tea's Big Lesbian Night Out.
But if you're worried that MTV's remake is going to be the mirror image of the UK series — where "arse" and "bollocky wankshite" are reflected as "ass" and "bullshit" — let me put your mind at ease: Skins co-creator Bryan Elsley told the Television Critics Association, "We've hired a bunch of very, very talented American screenwriters, and already, series one is looking very different. There will be a degree of resonance, let's say, from the UK show, but you'll find some original episodes and some very original writing from the young team."
Elsley knows that the number of successful British television imports in America is "quite small," in large part because of the tempestuous balance between British source material and American culture. It doesn't work to simply change names and accents. For every The Office, there are dozens of Couplings — an analogy that works well in this case, because just like The Office, if US Skins survives for a second season, the content will be completely original.
But why not just change everything right from the start? Elsley's got an answer for that, too. One of the things that sets Skins apart from other teen dramas is that young people actually write the show. "But in order to achieve that," Elsley says, "You have to invest in those young people very, very heavily over a long period of time."
That's why Elsley, Jamie Brittain and Jack Thorne wrote most of the first series of UK Skins, before handing over so much creative control to teenagers in the second series and beyond. The upside? It resonates in a way no other teen show ever has. The downside? It takes time.
And if the American adaptation makes it as far as a second season, there's something else to be excited about: The Skins writers room in America is full of young gay men and women. "I'm very pleased about the gay contingent in my [writers room]," Elsley told us. "They just showed up. They were very assertive and very confident and very opinionated, and that put them in my room. Those voices will come out. They can't not come out."
So what about now? What about Tea? We told you this weekend that she is going to be played by Sofia Black D'Elia, but what we didn't tell you is that your resistance to US Skins is futile: Sofia is going to charm her way into your heart whether you like it or not.
The 18-year-old actress from North Jersey is warm and bright and articulate. She understands the loyalty to the UK show. She understands what it means to play a "fully-rounded, complex, difficult" lesbian character (Elsley's words) in the current void of fully-rounded, complex, difficult lesbian characters on American TV. And you know what else? Naomi and Emily are her favorite Skins couple.
AfterElton.com's Michael Jensen caught up with Sofia and Bryan at TCA. He even said the word "Naomily" out loud. (Cutest thing you've ever heard.)

Purchasing a new home can be an exciting experience and a rewarding investment. Coming up with a plan for financing your home is almost an all-time challenging task. Hamlet Homes explains that no matter where you plan to live, whether it is in a new home in Salt Lake City or somewhere else, you should consider the following factors.
Evaluate Your Finances
Know your current financial status before you invest in real estate. If you don't have enough money, you can try to get a mortgage loan from a bank or lending company. Try to get a broker to help you reach a deal that would be amenable to you and the lending company.
The location of your home is another factor that you need to consider. A home that is located in an area that near hospitals, schools and business centers tend to be more expensive. Look for a property that you can afford but is still not out of the way. Check local real estate agents and study the interest rates and mortgage rates for that area. Sometimes, you can find a property that is reasonably priced with low interest.
Duration of Stay
If you intend to stay long in your new home, you can borrow money from a bank and put enough money in your real property investment. However, if you intend to stay for only a couple of years, you should consider renting a house rather than buying property.
Buying new homes in Salt Lake City is a good investment these days as the City is booming and is considered one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. Make an informed decision before investing in real property so you can make the best of it.
