Welcome Strangers
The year is now 1879, but the history is not our own.
Mysterious beings called the Reckoners have given life to monsters and magic, causing history to divert from July 4th, 1863 forward. The South has won its independence, California has shattered into a labyrinth of flooded sea-canyons, and a mysterious super-fuel called "ghost rock" has spawned as much war and strife as it has "steampunk" devices.
These Reckoners won. Nobody really knows when it was other than the 20th Century was terrible with wars expanding more and more, governments collapsing, disease and demons. Now everything is terrible, the population has been reduced to the level of beasts, slavery and abuse is rampant.
The Devil has won. God is dead. The fight continues.
Seers and scientists have divined a means to open a window to the past – a window that can be used as a doorway. It's a one-way trip but a small group of resistance fighters have been selected to go back into history and prevent the demons from winning. If their first victories can be undone then maybe, just maybe, the past can be undone and humanity can be free once more…

Peacock Prophecy in progress
After returning home I did several different thumbnails. I was pretty set on an idea inspired by Art Nouveau but months later I developed this concept which works better for me. The women interacting with peacocks surrounded by transforming mist - houses and trees in the distance about to be consumed by a dust storm - birds fleeing from the rising destruction.
This is the result after researching and gathering all of the reference material. I may build a couple tiny, rough models of the peacock bodies to use as reference before I paint them? I messed around with a color study but after drawing the first peacock I started having visions of old Japanese paintings so that's the look I'm going to attempt to achieve in areas of the painting.
I've never done a painting on masonite so a big thanks to E.M. Gist for sending me a link to his blog on how to prepare the surface! You can see his art here and Alla's here. For more info. on Illuxcon 5 click here. I'm aiming to be finished with this piece in September.

Powdered Multi-Vitamin for Birds
Imported from Germany
Nekton-S contains:
Nekton-S is a powdered multi-vitamin pet food supplement containing the 13 essential vitamins for all pet birds, as well as 18 amino acids, minerals, and trace elements. It has been used successfully for years by bird owners, breeders, and zoos. Time and time again, Nekton S has proved its value in disease resistance, as well as counteracting the effects of molting, re-caging illness, and medical treatments. Nekton-S has been formulated to cover the vitamin requirements of cage birds in standard care. The 18 most essential amino acids have been added to Nekton-S in the natural L-Configuration for easy assimilation, to provide organisms with enough "building material" to build their own properties.
A measuring spoon holding 1g powder is enclosed in each jar of NEKTON-S.
Added to Drinking Water
Added to Soft Food
Dextrose, ascorbic acid, niacinamide, DL-alpha-tocophenol acetate (Vit E) Vitamin A, ferrous sulfate, d-calcium pantothenate, L-lysine, DL-methlonine, calcium carbonate, zinc sulfate, maganese sulfate, riboflavin, menadione sodium bisulfite, artiticial flavoring, thiamine hydrochloride, pyridoxine hydrochloride, copper sulfate, inositol, L-glutamine, L-aspartic acid, L-glycine, L-leucine, L-alanine, folic acid, L-arginine, calcium iodate, L-valine, L-isoleucine, L-threonine, L-histidine, L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, L-cystine, L-proline, L-serine, cobalt sulfate, L-tryptophan, biotin, magnesium sulfate, chotecalciferol (Vit D3) Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)IMPORTANT:

I found you, Mr. Book! I knew you were somewhere in my pack. Maybe you're learning how to hide from watchin' me or something. I mean, if people can learn from books, books can learn from people, right?
I'm gonna skip a bunch of numbers because it's been awhile and I don't wanna write a bunch of numbers just to catch up.
SPHINXES. I tried to sneak by 'em and it heard me so it roared and woke up everyone. So we had to kill a LOT of people. Funny thing… when we killed the wizard guy that Lord Gallows told us to kill, the sphinx stopped fighting us and was kinda nice. Not nice enough to help us kill more people, but nice enough to stop clawing Bre in the face.
We also had to burninate some catapults and other stuff, which was easy enough. We didn't have to sneak around sphinxes so it was easy to get to them without being spotted. They spotted us AFTER we already ruined their stuff, so we had to head back under the tunnels so they could
cola collapc seal it back up.
As much as I wanted to nap after all that nightcrawlin', Lord Gallows told us that the REAL fight was gonna start. And it did. With a bunch of armored guys on horses and stuff, we had to go in and "hold the line". Whatever that meant. So, Bre and Nadia were all pumped up and heroic-like, but I just wanted to stab stuff and then everyone charged and there was a lot of screaming and blasting and fun stuff and lotsa blood—
But after only like a few hours, we got pulled out by Lord Gallows again. He said that us winning was a sure thing, so he wanted us to be fresh when we rode out back to Steppenwolf's place to play out the "victory march". Or something like that. It sounded boring. And it was. There was a lot of talking, but I didn't pay much attention until Steppenwolf said there was gonna be a party! Games and tournaments and snacks and fun and all the things! Bre, Laurya and Rylik thought that Steppenwolf was doin' stuff sneakily during the party to kill Gallows or something, but me and Nadia didn't really care. FUN TIMES!
We went around town and played all sorts of games! Three Cups, a Talent Contest, and a JOUST. I got to ride a horse and smack guys off theirs with a stick! Everyone thought I was dumb for trying (maybe not the commoner's joust, but I joined the main one), but they sure shut up after I clocked the first noble guy into next week. They thought it was a fluke, but after the second and third guys, I even got people cheering for me! It might've been Nadia and Laurya's help workin' the crowd, but whatever. Still, I lost the finals. The other girl was REALLY good at smackin' people off horses, but I stayed on as long as I could… I just… fell asleep after the fifth or sixth stick-to-the-face… Shuddup Mr. Book I can tell you're judging me.
While we were walkin' around, Bre and Rylik heard some shady stuff like people bringin' in barrels to the dungeons and the normal cooks for the castle being kicked out… and warned Gallows about possibly being poisoned. He had his magic guys throw a spell on him to make sure that didn't happen, and figured he'd even ask people to swap dishes with everyone. I guess it's a normal thing that happens in castles, because that just sounds really weird to me. My food is MY food, after all.
Either way, we figured we'd check out the dungeons sneaky-like and make sure everything's on the up-and-up. We had to kill some undead stuff in the sewers to get there, but it's a good thing we did. Remember that Ragesian diplomat guy? He was there, bein' all "Ha ha, I'm gonna poison everyone at the party to make everyone crazy and kill each other and no one will blame me!" We killed him dead. I accidentally broke his mask too. I dunno why Rylik likes collectin' them. I mean, I have stuff from people I like, but why would you collect stuff from people you hate? Maybe Seaquen has a contest for collecting the most bear-skull-masks.
Right, everyone was in trouble! We broke into the giant eating hall and said 'DROP THAT FORK." At least I did. The others kinda explained it better to everyone. It was a bit late, since some people already had some food. Also, King Steppenwolf didn't like us (and he might have been a bit crazy at the time too) and tried to kill us. And his gnome advisor person turned into a crazy snake monster trillith and also tried to kill us (we weren't surprised by that last bit). Her name was Madness! We killed her… I think. I mean, she kinda disappeared into nothingness and laughed. Which isn't like the time we killed the fire stag monster in the forest, since he kinda burned up into nothingness. Okay, maybe it's kinda the same.
Madness DID kill Steppenwolf, though. That wasn't our fault, but we couldn't really fix it after it happened (He kinda turned into nothingness, too). Still, it's not all bad! Lord Duke Gallows became KING Lord Duke Gallows, even though he wasn't terribly happy about how he became king. Still, for saving Dassen from killing each other, we got rewarded with… some plots of land. Everyone seemed more-or-less happy with it, but what am I gonna do with a bunch of dirt? I didn't like it, but I got nudged in the ribs a lot, so I just took it anyways. Nadia was super thrilled, and even got to stay to help the new king since his old gnome advisor person turned out to be evil. At least I know THIS gnome advisor was totally good. I still have her bracelet so I don't forget her!
We had to get back to Seaquen to let 'em know that we did our job (to make sure that Dassen had our backs to help fight Ragesia), but we got held up in Vidor (the swamp place) again. Some trolls were kidnapping people and eating them, so Bre and Laurya wanted us to help them. We had to chase the trail down to some pyramid thing like the one where we found the attercops at, and killed them all! It was easy since I had my fire-dagger, but the others kinda had to scrape up ways to get fire to burn them to death.
After we killed those trolls, we made it back to Seaquen. We got to eat at a fancy dinner and were told by the Headmaster guy to go to the Monastery to the north, since the guys they sent up there didn't come back yet. Then Katrina shows up and introduces us to Three-Weeping-Ravens (Bird Guy for short—don't tell him that, though). He said he'd help guide us there, since it's somewhere in the mountains and it's kinda easy to get lost up there. Also, we had to teleport there with the help of the Wayfarer's lady-boss (which normally would kill us, but we had super-magic to make us immune to fire for the trip. Which is probably good, since we traveled through Hell to get to where we teleported to). It was kinda fun, but landing made us all sick. Also, we landed in a cage of death-doom-trappery surrounded by guards, so we had to tell them we weren't Ragesians. They believed us, since we weren't orcs or that kinda stuff.
We talked to the lord guy of the place, I-Forget-His-Name, and he didn't really seem to care about the Ragesians, since his buddy Pilus said they weren't a big deal. We didn't really care either. We wanted to talk to some monks, not this guy. I DID talk to his "harem" though. He seemed kinda new at the whole 'King-Lord-Boss-Guy' thing, and just wanted to be lazy instead of getting things done.
So, we made our way to the mountains where the monastery was supposed to be. It was a LOT of walking and stuff, but Bird Guy led us there. We got jumped by some Ragesian guys on the way in, but a dwarf jumped off a cliff and helped us kill them dead. Thorfin wanted to go to the monastery too, so we let him follow us there.
When we got to Eresh (the place where the monastery is at), it was already under attack by the Ragesians… kinda. They were just sitting outside, with all the swords and spears and stuff… but not doing any attacking. We just walked right in, while they were like "Wait. No. Stop. You're not allowed to go in. Yawn." It was even worse inside, since everyone was like that inside. Just… lazy and not all there. We did some talking around and figured we'd go talk to the monastery people straight away. We got sidetracked a bit by a lady acting all spooky, telling us we were upsetting "The Balance". Still, DUTY CALLS and we tried to talk to the monastery people. On the way up, we got attacked by some wind monsters! I guess they were guardians of the path, but when we gave them the secret password (given to us by some monks that were with us) they still attacked! Jerks. After all that, we finally… FINALLY made it to the monastery.
They wouldn't let us in. They didn't want anything to do with us until we fixed whatever made everyone in Eresh all lazy and not care about stuff. Since we couldn't really bust the door down and make them listen to us, we had to go back down and figure out how exactly we were gonna do that. Maybe just thinking about it fixed it, because when we came back down, everyone started snapping out of it. It was both good and kinda bad, because since everyone was so lazy, some of the soldiers were relaxing inside the city when they woke up and figured they would kill some people on the way out. We thought about killing them first, but they took hostages! Cowards. Esme really wanted to just kill them, but Bre and Laurya got them to run away instead of killing their hostages. I guess it's probably better this way, but less fun.
One of the townsfolk thanked us for makin' sure no one died, and asked us to follow him. We found one of the guys that was sent up here, Eril! (Torrent totally has a thing for him, I guess. I'm betting it's a bow, since he's a ranger.) He was pretty banged up and not really fit to do much help, but he did let us know that there's somethin' weird going on in the Forbidden Valley. It's Forbidden for a reason, ya know. The storm there has been going on for years (almost similar to a certain forest that was on fire for years). We were gonna check it out, but someone else in town woke up and told us to follow HIM. So we did, and we met that one spooky lady from before! Except she was like super tired and resting in a bed. Dying. And also spontaneously changing into a guy and then back into a girl again.
It was weird. She called herself "Balance" and spoke all weird, like with "Metal-fours". Y'know, like 'The mountain will never bend to the wind, no matter how hard it blows," and stuff. Then, me and Esme figured out that she was a trillith! Like… not murder-death-kill like the other ones were, but nicer? I guess because 'balance' doesn't sound so stabby compared to 'madness'. Somehow, she made all of Eresh all 'lazy and stuff' to 'preserve the balance', probably with dream-dragon-mist-magic. But when WE showed up, we kinda upset the balance. OH~ I just got that!
Anyways, Esme knew that trilliths could like… hide in a person's head, or something like that. It's hard to explain. It took a LOT of convincing to get Balance to go along with it (because she didn't seem like a bad trillith) but we got her to hide in Bird-Guy's head! It's not that bad, but it does get kinda crowded at times. Bird-Guy got tired from having a near-dead trillith kinda sap at his life-force to not-die, so Thorfin took him up to the monestary while we figured out what to do, now that everyone is finally waking up from Balance not making everyone lazy.
Some more soldiers woke up, and were yelling about throwing the innkeeper off a cliff! Bre and Laurya didn't like the sound of that, so we went over to kill them before that happened. More people were waking up, I guess, since some guys named Castagorn and Eoin showed up to help. Castagorn, the big guy, didn't seem like a bad guy, but Eoin (who might be a girl? It's hard to tell with elves) is a guilder. Or works for some assassin's guild. Or something? Either way, we don't trust guilders. They all deserve to die horrible horrible deaths with their guts hanging out their throats and—
We saved the innkeeper guy, even if he got slashed good. We to—

The newlyweds who posed for a wedding photo in front of a KFC restaurant are off to the home of the fried chicken giant.
Ashleigh Davis agreed her new husband, Louis, could have one photo of his choice following their wedding in Whangarei last Saturday.
He chose his favourite fast-food joint and an image of the couple kissing outside the Whangarei branch has gone global.
KFC responded this morning with a special wedding gift - return airfares to the American state of Kentucky, where the late Colonel Harland Sanders started the fried chicken empire bearing the state's name in 1930.
A KFC representative broke the news to the couple on TVNZ'sBreakfast show this morning.
"You'll be visiting the head office and you can see where it all began," the representative told the couple.
KFC have also promised the couple a year's supply of KFC.
The stunned newlyweds grinned at the news, with Ashleigh Davis hugging the man who delivered it.
"Oh my god, I didn't even think we'd get a year's supply of KFC," Mrs Davis said.
"He was hoping just for a Snack Box, just some Wicked Wings."
Mr Davis responded with a message for his father, who has previously expressed concern at his son's three-times-a-week KFC habit.
"If my dad is watching Breakfast, he told me I eat too much KFC. Hi, Dad."
He asked his bride if she felt excited about their restaurant of choice for the year's coming date nights.
"Are you excited thinking about all the dates we're gonna have?"

Common side effects of Pradaxa include stomach pain, upset stomach, indigestion and nausea, according to MedlinePlus. Serious side effects of Pradaxa, or dabigatran, include abnormal bruising or bleeding, pink or brown urine, red or black stools, vomit that contains blood or looks like coffee grounds, and bleeding from the gums.
Headache, dizziness, weakness, and joint pain or swelling are other serious side effects of Pradaxa that require an immediate call to a doctor, notes MedlinePlus. Frequent nosebleeds, heavy menstrual bleeding and coughing up blood while taking Pradaxa also signal a serious problem. Some people experience symptoms of an allergic reaction to Pradaxa, including hives, rash, itching, problems breathing and swelling of the face or tongue, explains the Pradaxa website. Individuals experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction require emergency medical attention.
Pradaxa is an anticoagulant that treats and prevents blood clots in the veins and the lungs, states MedlinePlus. It also prevents strokes and blood clots in patients who have an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation. Patients typically take Pradaxa twice a day, with or without food. The medication, which comes in a capsule form, must be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Patients may not crush, chew, split or break open the capsules.

Two double bedroom suites in this exclusive B&B
Private bathrooms
Elegant living room adjoins the breakfast area and kitchen
Outdoor terrace
Breakfast fully inclusive and diverse
Excellent location
Two exclusive double bedrooms give balance and exclusivity, not least becasue of the antique furniture, crisp white linens and high-spec facilities: a 32" HD LED TV, elcetronic wall safe, hot drink making equipment, free wifi and air conditioning.
Both rooms have private bathrooms as well as the use of a shared living room with board games, a small library of books, a fully equipped kitchen, Nespresso coffee machine and a cosy, private terrace.
Breakfast is served inside or out, depending on your preference and is fully inclusive, featuring a rich spread of cereals, muesli, pastries, yoghurt, fruit, cheese, cold meats, pate, cheese spreads, bread, biscuits, french toast, crackers, a range of preserves, milk and fruit juice. Any special requests or food intolerances are happily accomodated by prior arrangement at the time of booking.
The Borgo district is built on layer upon layer of history, having been assigned as the artisan quarter for the 16th century craftsmen who renovated the Vatican: the Holy City jostles just a 10 minute walk away from this Bed and Breakfast. Add to this locale the encircling 9th century walls which have the the Basilica Costantiniana at the very centre, this accomodation sits on an ever-bustling meeting-point of the past and present.
To this day the Borgo 'village' has an unparalleled array of workshops and galleries, antique and craft shops, bars and restaurants. Notably, it is also home to the cobbler who makes the Pope's shoes, as well as the dry cleaner to the Vatican Guard and their very distinctive purple and gold uniforms as designed by Michaelangelo (yes, he was a fashion designer too!)
It goes without saying that history and culture continues to expand from this thriving epicentre, and that all the major attractions of Rome are within easy reach.
Either double bedroom can be booked as a twin or single occupancy.

Stop with the excuses! I've never worked on a help desk that
wasn't overworked, overstressed and underpaid. But that doesn't mean you canignore the customer—your end users.
Too often, IT organizations fail to adequately communicate
with their end users. This lack of interaction can lead to confusion,
suspicion, and even conflict. You can often avoid customer dissatisfaction and
resentment by effectively and regularly communicating effectively and regularlywith your end users.
In this 5-minute podcast, I explain why there is no substitute
for good communication and offer a little advice for using three commoncommunication methods: e-mail, voice mail, and face-to-face contacts.

As a women's magazine journalist, and now Editor of More Magazine I've spent my entire career championing, celebrating, highlighting, supporting, and raising money for any and all women trying to shatter the glass ceiling. What surprises me, however, is how the passion for shards has gotten even smart women thinking with their hearts instead of their heads. First older women castigated younger women for being infidels if they didn't support Hillary Clinton. Now another group of women wants us to ignore Palin's flyweight credentials for a heavyweight job. My question is: Would any of these corporate success stories hire a similarly thin-resumed job candidate (male or female) to be their number two? To run their multi-billion dollar banking division? To launch their satellite into space? We've all interviewed the candidates who've been pushed too rapidly up the ladder, who can talk the talk but can't really walk the walk.Yeah right! We all know the world is full of female top-executive success stories who are running their multi-billion dollar banking division and launching satellites into space while being interviewed by ultra-smart female sycophant journalists with a penchant for intensely painful clichés:
...Palin's underdog status, a place women in business know well ... back to a time when she herself might have had to best a man ... These are scenarios any working woman is all too familiar with ... Sexism still exists. It's alive and well ... In one way or another, we're all in the bunker with Sarah Palin.Yes, outch!
So WHY are female executives giving Palin's thin credentials really a pass?
Maybe out of the same reason women gave Princess Diana's EXTREMELY thin credentials as a wife and mother a pass. I have yet to meet the woman whose decisions and preferences are based on matter-of fact reasons. That a woman can become "executive" of a company (other than one she's inherited) is bound to be based on the fact that men make extracerebral decisions as well, and if one gets at the bottom of female success stories, there is almost invariably a man who kicked it off, as there is in Mrs. Palin's case.

My client just sent me this picture of her new kitchen roman shade. I am dying at how cute it looks. I truly believe that the Imperial Trellis fabric makes for one of the very best roman shade fabrics.
This shade was also made by Melissa from Windows by Melissa. She did a great job on it!

click here for full size! :D
click here for full size! :D
As you can see, I'm dangerously close to the edge here. :( I thought the fabric was 32 count, and it's actually 28 count... and the design would have had only about 1.25 inches left on either side on the 32 count. So now I'm stuck with even less. I'm not sure how I'm going to frame her when I'm done. I may cave and take her to a framer this time instead of doing it myself as usual, because there is just NO room for error here.
Bah. Anyway, even though I'm beading, she's still missing her tail fin! I'm changing it from green to grey because I saw one with that modification and liked it a LOT more than the green tail. Even though green is my favorite color. :p

Deal Reached to Avert Judicial Showdown
WASHINGTON – Averting a showdown, moderates on both sides of the aisle in the Senate reached a compromise late Monday clearing the way for the confirmation of many of President Bush's stalled judicial nominees, leaving others in limbo and preserving filibuster rules.
"We have reached an agreement to try to avert a crisis in the United States Senate and pull the institution back from a precipice," said Sen. John McCain (search), R-Ariz., standing with a group of 13 other senators, seven from each party. McCain added that the deal was based on "trust, respect and mutual desire to .... protect the rights of the minority."
"We have lifted ourselves above politics," agreed Sen. Robert C. Byrd (search), D-W.Va., "And we have signed this document ... in the interest of freedom of speech, freedom of debate and freedom to dissent in the United States Senate."
Under the terms, Democrats agreed to allow final confirmation votes for Priscilla Owen (search), Janice Rogers Brown (search) and William Pryor (search), named to appeals court seats. There is "no commitment to vote for or against" the filibuster against two other conservatives named to the appeals court, Henry Saad (search) and William Myers (search).
The agreement said future judicial nominees should "only be filibustered under extraordinary circumstances," with each Democratic senator holding the discretion to decide when those conditions had been met.
"In light of the spirit and continuing commitments made in this agreement," Republicans said they would oppose any attempt to make changes in the application of filibuster rules — a pledge that Sen. Mike DeWine (search), R-Ohio said at the news conference was conditional on Democrats upholding their end of the deal.
While the agreement was signed by only 14 senators, they held the balance of power in a sharply divided Senate.
And Republicans said they would seek to confirm Owen as early as Tuesday, with other cleared nominees to follow quickly.
Even so, Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., noted he had not been a party to the deal, which fell short of his stated goal of winning yes-or-no votes on each of Bush's nominees. "It has some good news and it has some disappointing news and it will require careful monitoring," he said.
Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada seemed more receptive — although he hastened to say he remains opposed to some of the nominees who will now likely take seats on federal appeals courts.
"Checks and balances have been protected. The integrity of the Supreme Court has been protected from the undue influence of the vocal, radical right wing," Reid said.
The White House said the agreement was a positive development.
"Many of these nominees have waited for quite some time to have an up-or-down vote and now they are going to get one. That's progress," press secretary Scott McClellan said. "We will continue working to push for up-or-down votes for all the nominees."
Earlier Monday, Bush repeated his demand that his judicial nominees get an up-or-down vote by the full Senate.
"My job is to pick people who will interpret the Constitution, not use the bench from which to write laws," Bush said from the White House. "And I expect them to get an up-or-down vote, that's what I expect. And I think the American people expect that as well — people ought to have a fair hearing and they ought to get an up-or-down vote on the floor."
The deal was sealed around the table in McCain's office, across the street from the Capitol where senators had expected an all-night session of speech-making, prelude to Tuesday's anticipated showdown.
Nominally, the issue at hand was Bush's selection of Owen, a member of the Texas Supreme Court, to a seat on the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
In fact, as the rhetoric suggested, the stakes were far broader, with Republicans maneuvering to strip Democrats of their right to filibuster and thus block current and future nominees to the appeals court and Supreme Court.
There currently is no vacancy on the high court, although one or more is widely expected in Bush's term. Chief Justice William Rehnquist's coincidental presence in the Capitol during the day was a reminder of that. At age 80 and battling thyroid cancer, he entered the building in a wheelchair on his way to the doctor's office.
Under a complicated situation in effect on the Senate floor, an agreement among six senators of each party was sufficient to avert the showdown. Six Democrats agreeing not to filibuster assured judicial nominees of a yes-or-no vote. Six Republicans signing the accord meant Frist and other GOP leaders would not have the votes to strip Democrats of their ability to filibuster.
The agreement came as Frist, R-Tenn. and Reid, D-Nev., steered the Senate toward a showdown on Bush's nominees and historic filibuster rules, under which a minority can prevent action unless the majority gains 60 votes.
For decades, Senate rules have permitted opponents to block votes on judicial nominees by mounting a filibuster, a parliamentary device that can be stopped only by a 60-vote majority.
But Republicans, frustrated by Democratic filibusters that thwarted 10 of Bush's first-term appeals court nominees and prepared to block seven of them again, threatened to supersede that rule by simple majority vote.
In classic Senate style, the agreement was followed by a rush of self-congratulatory speeches — and disagreement over what it meant.
Democrats, pointing to a slight change in wording from an earlier draft, said the deal would preclude Republicans from attempting to deny them the right to filibuster. Republicans said that was not ironclad, but valid only as long as Democrats did not go back on their word to filibuster only in extraordinary circumstances.
One official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the issue had been discussed at the meeting in McCain's office, and was "clearly understood" by those in attendance.
Apart from the judicial nominees named in the agreement, Reid said Democrats would clear the way for votes on David McKeague, Richard Griffin and Susan Neilson, all named to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Democratic officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, suggested that two other appeals court nominees whose names were omitted — White House staff secretary Brett Kavanaugh and Pentagon lawyer William Haynes — would be jettisoned. Republicans said they knew of no such understanding.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who had supported invoking the so-called "nuclear" or "constitutional" option — by which filibusters on nominees would have been banned for good — told FOX News early Monday: "The Senate does not require 60 votes to become a judge, only 51 votes. ... We're talking about keeping a supermajority from overriding the will of a constitutional majority that has been that way for 214 years."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

How Nonverbal Language Affects The Workplace
If you have ever seen a person lose his job because he gave his boss the bird, then you have had an experience with how nonverbal language affects the workplace. It does not always have to be something as offensive as giving the bird, but it is critical to know how you communicate with others through nonverbal language.
There are three types of communication: verbal, nonverbal and listening. Nonverbal language is the use of gestures, facial expressions and mannerisms to communicate with others. Since we are often unaware of the nonverbal cues we are giving off, it pays to take some time to learn more about this form of communication. This is especially important in the workplace.
When you ask a coworker the time and she shrugs and rolls her eyes, you know she is annoyed with you and your questions. We have the ability to recognize this nonverbal language subconsciously. This is why we cannot figure out what we dislike about this coworker, but we never invite her to happy hour after work.
Not only is it helpful to understand how to read nonverbal communication, but it is good to learn what you are giving off during your interactions in the workplace. Practice conversations ahead of time in the mirror before work. Also, ask a friend to pinch you when you are giving off negative vibes with your nonverbal language.
Pay close attention to your voice when communicating with others. If you scream every time you answer your boss, it is safe to say that you probably will not get that promotion. Also, do not whisper. It implies you are timid and lack confidence. Make sure your speaking is clear and articulate so that your verbal and nonverbal language is working for you.
Follow these steps and not only will you be able to read others accurately, but you will also have an advantage regarding how to respond in the workplace. This may very well lead to future career success in your workplace.

Self-Portraits Through Other Faces
The Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery will showcase in August six contemporary Latino artists in 'Portraiture Now: Staging the Self.'
Sometimes, portraits of others become meditations on the self. That's the theme of an unusual show arriving this month at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Family members and childhood role models inspired most of the six contemporary Latino artists in the exhibit.
For them, portraiture becomes "a map to find themselves and others," said Taína Caragol, curator of Latino art and history at the Portrait Gallery. "Portraiture Now: Staging the Self," which opens Aug. 22 and lasts until April 2015, was her idea.
In her "House of Women" series, photographer Rachelle Mozman cast her mother as both a maid and a well-to-do woman and manipulated the characters' skin color to point out social implications of race and class.
Caribbean families are often racially mixed, Ms. Mozman said, and siblings can have noticeably different skin tones. "The slightest gradation was a big deal," Ms. Mozman said. She wanted to explore the tendencies of households and the media to favor light skin. In her series "La Negra y su Pequeña," Ms. Mozman merged her features with her mother's to convey their close relationship and reflect on looking different from those around them.
María Martínez-Cañas's "Duplicity as Identity" series overlays photos of her and her father in increasing ratios, so that a portrait of a man gradually becomes a portrait of the artist herself. It reveals "how identities are confounded," Ms. Caragol said.
The similarities between parent and child are also notable in Carlee Fernandez's "The Strand That Holds Us Together," a photograph of her father's left hand next to her more slender right hand. "We have the same bone structure and skinny long fingers," Ms. Fernandez said.
The artist sees the work as a follow-up to a 2006 self-portrait in which she donned her father's striped T-shirt and jeans and struck the same pose—legs apart, hands in pockets—as he did in a photo taken when he was a teenager.
Karen Miranda Rivadeneira also takes a performative approach. With the help of her immediate family, she took photos that recreate childhood memories that were never documented, like her aunt teaching her to make Ecuadorean yucca bread and her mother helping her get over her fear of iguanas by making her feed them at a local park. The artist captures the scenes with a Polaroid camera, recalling the photography of decades ago, with a sentence about the memory scribbled along the bottom border.
Michael Vasquez's portraits of his friends, many of whom used to be in gangs, touch on territoriality, honor and the need to belong. Many of Mr. Vasquez's paintings force the viewer to look up at the men the way that he had looked up to them as a boy. David Antonio Cruz surrounds the subjects of his paintings with materials from his studio and from dollar stores, like fabric, as well as documents of Puerto Ricans passing through Ellis Island.

I've been slowly adding items to my shop. Turns out I have a ton of jewelry patiently waiting to be listed! Here's a peek:
And in other news, I started collaborating with my friends Alfredo and Paco, who organize the interdisciplinary design festival FID here in Costa Rica [if you're into design of any kind, look into it! The past guests have been amazing, and the ones to come are awesome too]. We are working together on their blog, to hopefully reach out to the design community in Costa Rica and other (spanish speaking) countries in between events. There's a lot of information floating out there, and not too many virtual venues in this region that filter and share it. We want to promote central and south american designers and makers as well, so if you have any suggestions we'd love to hear them, as well as design from everywhere else.
Here's a screenshot of how it looks for the moment. Take a few minutes and browse if you like :)

text: Hi, I'm looking to build a series of directories, but never built one before. So far i've only come up with scripts that visually look really generic and out of date such as this one: http://www.esyndicat.com/ or various free ones. I've also found this one that looks fantastic, but is WAY out of my price range: http://www.edirectory.com/ Does anyone have any recommendations for genuine good quality directory scripts? Free is good, but low cost (under $100 or so) is fine too. I just can't afford to pay $1500 for the edirectory one (or pay $99 a month as the other option - what a joke). Thanks Matt

TAYLORSVILLE - Solemn prayer and the blowing of a ram's horn at sundown tonight will herald the beginning of the Jewish New Year in Carroll and around the world.
Tomorrow marks first day of the lunar month of Tishri, the start of the year 5751.
Al Stein, 67, cantor for Beth Shalom (House of Peace) in Taylorsville, Carroll's first and only Jewish congregation, explained the significance of the High Holy Days, or "Days of Awe."
To the Jewish people, the beginning of a new year is not a time for revelry, but a period of deep religious significance, Stein said.

So, I figured that it was only appropriate for me to share my own Christmas deco since I've been bombarding you all with so many images of other people's decorating. I'll add the disclaimer that I think my own decorating is woefully sparse and ordinary compared to all the other festive stuff I've been blogging, but hey – full disclosure or something, right? And really, I do enjoy my own decorations – the living room does feel very festive – and really, you can add sparkly lights to anything and it's automatically 50x better.
Yep. There's my tree. This pic was taken before I had wrapped any gifts…there's a lot more going on underneath the tree now, but I didn't feel like taking another pic. As far as the tree goes, I keep it pretty simple (read: boring) and stick to mostly to red and gold ornaments…some shiny, some matte. I do have a few fun ornaments sprinkled in that have been given to me as gifts…and since I have been posting all these other awesome ornaments and whatnot, I'm considering some after-Christmas shopping to stock up on some new stuff for next year. Like vintage stuff. We'll see.
R is our last initial, btw…not, like, just some random letter that someone picked. In case that wasn't clear. 🙂
Aside from the tree, I've really only got the fireplace decorated, since I do believe it's a holiday requirement if you do indeed have a fireplace.
I picked up the wreath (up top, on the mirror) about 8 years ago, on super sale from Pottery Barn. It's starting to show a little wear, but I still think it's just precious. It's all glittery.
Also, those are stockings for our dogs. Yep, we're those people.
Also about 8 years or so ago, I hit a few Crate & Barrel sales and picked up the green ceramic trees – WHICH I LOVE – and the gold wire trees even longer ago than that. If I was gonna collect something Christmas-y, it would totally be trees.
I also got the cute little mini wreaths from Crate & Barrel, and they may be my favorite. ♥
So, that's me! I'd love to see your decorating, if you wanna share – just send pics to me at email@example.com!!

Chart Lyrics API Wrapper
Project Home • Blog • External Project Link • Contact Project
Author: Matt Gifford aka coldfumonkeh (All RIAForge projects by this author)
Developed as a standalone package, but with the intention to merge with other components to create a mashup of data, the chartLyrics CFC wrapper was developed to interact with the chartLyrics.com database API.
Lost for words? Unsure exactly what it is that your favourite artist is singing? Perhaps you just want to sing along to a track, or add this functionality into your existing music-based applications.
This package will work well with the Spotify API or Last FM projects, also available on riaforge.
Easy to use
Four methods
1) searchLyric - search for a song by the artist AND track title. I'll return all matches.
2) searchLyricDirect - search for a song by the artist AND track title. If found, I will return details of the specific song.
3) searchLyricText - search for a song by querying a lyric string to find all matches
4) getLyric - returns the lyrics for a particular song, using the ID and checksum values
The API itself only returns an XML response. This wrapper has been developed to also return a JSON format, if required.
Debugging is easy, and you can return data as a literal string, or in a structural format (parsed XML or structured JSON)
No API key is required to use this service.

I hope you and your family fared well during and after Hurricane Irma. We are so fortunate in Jacksonville that the storm was not worse. I realize some of us had more damage than others and are still having to deal with issues caused by the storm, but in comparison to Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands, we are lucky. Storms such as Hurricanes Irma and Maria, and tragedies such as the shooting in Las Vegas put life in perspective. We need to put our arms around our family and friends and support each other. You need to enjoy each day and make it the best that you can!
I am so proud of the collective efforts of our division in preparing for the storm, working when classes and offices were closed, and cleaning up after the storm. With 28 major buildings and 1,300 acres, that is a huge task. It is especially difficult to be at work when you want or need to be at home preparing personally for the storm. I truly appreciate each person who contributed to our storm efforts. Below are some of the actions our staff took to ensure the University ran like a well-oiled machine.
The Physical Facility Department is the largest single organization on the UNF campus and arguably fields the most diversified and multi-cultural staff of any area. The department has 245 staff members hailing from multiple states within the U.S. and other countries that include Haiti, China, Japan, Jamaica, Netherlands, Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Iraq, Russia, Syria and Philippines. The department provides maintenance, landscaping and custodial services for the maintenance and upkeep of campus buildings and grounds year round. The department is well regarded nationally and within the state of Florida as an organization of excellence and participates in a number of professional organizations that promote Physical Facilities on university campuses nationally and abroad. In 2009, the department was awarded for Excellence in Facility Management by The Association of Physical Plant Administrators (APPA) and has been in the top tier of Florida State University System (SUS) schools in sustainability and energy metrics for the last several years.
Vernon Miller is a maintenance supervisor for Physical Facilities and has worked at UNF for almost seven years.
What is an
average day like in your job?
My average day consists of making sure all equipment is up and running and work orders are responded to in a timely manner.
What do you
like most about your job?
I like the satisfaction of being able to complete a job without calling a contractor. I like to push myself with the impossible.
What do you
do on your days off of work?
I enjoy spending my days off at home cooking for my family. I always keep an eye on the notifications that come across my phone from the University. I am often the person who meets with contractors when the University is closed.
What is one
hidden talent you possess?
My hidden talent is working with people and making them smile. I also cook pretty well.
What is the
most important thing you have learned while working at UNF?
The one thing I've learned from working here at UNF is that communication is a must. I have also learned to be patient, always treat people respectfully and smile.
I'd like to introduce Administration and Finance's new road map! The vision is the "big picture" destination for our division; what we want to accomplish.

Our core values define us in terms of principles and values and are what we will follow while carrying out the activities of the division. Our goals are general statements on what we need to accomplish. All of these parts combined form our strategic plan, or road map, for the next few years. Please review them in the article below or on our division's home page. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
A&F will be recognized as an innovative steward invested in the administrative and financial success of the University community. We will be proactively sought as a collaborative partner in developing solutions with students, faculty, staff, parents, contractors, vendors and guests.
A&F will work vigorously to understand and balance the financial, administrative and compliance needs of the University. We seek respectful and ongoing relationships to enhance constituent experiences. We serve to protect and enhance the University's resources.
To fulfill our mission, we will be guided by the commitment to excellence, relevance and accountability through the demonstration of the pursuit of truth and knowledge, ethical conduct, community engagement, diversity, responsibility to the natural environment and mutual respect and civility. We will be mindful that our actions reflect respect and courtesy and our treatment of others will be caring and fair. We will solicit new and creative ideas in order to provide the best services possible. Our demonstration of openness and diversity will engage our individual and collective efforts to recruit and include a diverse workforce at all levels and in all settings.

5:30AM: I wake to the sound of the dogs circling the bed, much like sharks seeking breakfast. I invite them into the bed to buy myself another half an hour of sleep. They accept this offer.
When we get home, I decided to tackle some chores. I clean the chicken coop, shower, fold a mountain of laundry, and wash a sinkful of dishes. Around 11AM I eat an early lunch (sprouted toast and eggs) and do some Internet chores - draft some blog posts, check the sad status of our bank accounts, answer a few emails from students and people telling me they aren't hiring, but will keep my resume on file. (Sigh...)
