I don't usually review the random YA books I read, as I prefer to keep my trashy-fantasy obsession to myself, but I just couldn't resist with this one.
Also, Outcast is not trashy, and I'm cool with giving it my seal.
"They come out of the sky and take you. Everyone knows that."
So begins Outcast, a sweet, sexy, and immensely readable little YA treat, set in religion-happy small-town southern USA, and starring kick-ass Riley Carver, who might just be my new favorite narrative voice in the genre.
Once every year, for the past six years, angels have come out of the sky in Riley's small town and stolen people into the sky. They never come back.
Riley has been mourning her best friend (and first kiss), taken the year before, when one of the kidnapping seraphim lands in her front yard. So she does what any self-respecting modern woman would do under the circumstances: she pulls out her mother's shotgun and shoots the thing in the face. Except she doesn't just kill an angel… she transforms him into a hot, naked guy from the 1950s. What?
The action expands from there, evenly divided between the budding friendship and sexual tension between Riley and Gabe (the hot ex-angel in question), and the mystery of annual angel abductions. Kress also includes some run-of-the-mill dystopian social commentary into the seams of her story, including, but not limited to, some really spot-on-creepy evangelical priest weirdness, and a haunting by one of Magritte's lovers. Right up my alley.
The best part of the book, however, is Riley. She's strong, funny, and appealingly weird. I would have stuck around until the end, just to keep listening to her quirky inner commentary. In a genre where girls are either pathetic (Twilight), or strong, but downright unpleasant (The Hunger Games), it's a relief to find a truly lovable female lead.
All in all, Outcast is a sweet little book, appropriate for all ages (adults, too), and a very quick read. It's well-written, fast-paced, and damn good fun.
So there. No trashy YA fantasy here.

Selecting land for a new church is not an easy task. It is also something that most people may do but once in their lifetime. Each church building project is unique, but there are some fairly universal considerations. Therefore, this article is designed to get you thinking about the issues around selecting a church property that will be the best fit for your congregation.
Usually a congregation has a pretty clear idea of what town, city or neighborhood (in a larger city) that they are focused on. However, within the target area there are many things to consider including:
1. Where do the existing members live? To visualize this data, it might be helpful to pin a map to a tack board and mark the homes of the existing members. For the more computer savvy, this process can be done on Google Maps with virtual pins. It may be wise to locate the church property conveniently to most of the membership.
2. Where does the church want to grow? While existing members may be concentrated in one area, the church may have a vision to attract new members in a different area. For example, perhaps the new church is a church plant sponsored by a church in a nearby town. The core members may be from the other town or neighborhood but the idea is to build membership within a target area. If your congregation has a clear goal of reaching new members in a specific area than you need to be looking for properties in the target area.
3. Are there ethnic or cultural considerations? While no one should be promoting racial exclusivity, reality is that many churches find their membership is aligned along racial, national origin or linguistic lines. Similarly, the general community in larger cities may have neighborhoods that are primarily comprised of particular groups. Some congregations are specifically targeting a particular group. If your congregation is comprised of or targeting a particular group of people, make sure that your new church property is appropriately located. Ideally you want your church to become a focal point for the target community, so perhaps a location in the heart of the community would be ideal. Think about what the current focal point for the community is (maybe a shopping district, community center, another church etc) and plan accordingly.
Property Size
Choosing the right size property is critical for a successful project. You may need to accommodate both required and optional uses including:
- Church
- Church Hall
- Kitchen
- Gym or other recreational space
- Community Service Center
- Youth Center
- Daycare
- Parking
The biggest portion of the property is often parking, and it is also super important. If people can't find a place to park they may not come again.
You may want to speak with an architect about how much land your project needs even before starting your intensive search.

The Ministry of the Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion
While the heart of the celebration of the Eucharist is the Eucharistic Prayer, the consummation of the Mass is found in Holy Communion, whereby the people purchased for the Father by his beloved Son eat and drink the Body and Blood of Christ" (NDR, 5).
As Catholic Christians, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. As Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, we must continue to offer fitting lives as we perform a great ministry in the Church. Therefore, we must take it upon ourselves to regularly take care of our spiritual health by constantly discerning our call and through constant prayer, reflection, and reception of the sacraments, nurture our spiritual development. We are living examples of Christ in the Eucharist, may we continue to welcome him into our lives.
The Role of the Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion
Beginning with the great prayer of thanksgiving, the Eucharistic Prayer, the communion rite is at the heart and center of the entire Eucharistic celebration. By serving as a Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion you accept the call to share the very body and blood of our Lord with the gathered assembly as well as to the sick and homebound of our community. Thus, you are called to be an example of faithful service and reverence to all you serve. In order to lead the community into the act of sharing communion, ministers should possess sufficient maturity and make sure to not call attention to themselves or to distract from the flow of the celebration.
By virtue of your baptism you are called to reflect the light and love of Christ with those at home, at work, in your neighborhood, and in every place you are able. Responding to the call to serve at the Lord's altar by assisting in the distribution of the Eucharist, you will strengthen the faith of the assembly and enable them to share in the presence of Christ in their homes, work, and interactions with the larger community.
Hospital Ministry
Is anyone among you sick? . . . Pray for one another, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful. (James 5:14, 16)
Hospital ministers bring Eucharist and fellowship to the Catholic patients at Pennsylvania Hospital. Not every patient will be physically healed in the hospital, but our experience as hospital ministers has shown us again and again the power of Christ's presence both in his Body and Blood and in our own prayers and compassionate presence among the sick.
On Sundays, three ministers attend and act as ministers for the 7:30 Mass where they are blessed and missioned, walk over to the hospital and have breakfast together, and then bring the Communion that was shared first during Mass and then among the group of three to the patients. All Catholic patients are visited on Sunday (about 30 per minister). On weekdays, if a hospital minister is available, he or she will visit a smaller number of patients.
Each finds the way of ministering that is most comfortable for him or her. All offer the Eucharist and a short prayer. Some offer longer prayers. Some invite conversation. Because we bring our own selves to this ministry, hospital ministers commonly feel they get as much if not more from the ministry as the patients do. And the patients are very grateful. This is a ministry that truly nurtures the minister's relationship with God as it provides a much-needed service.

It's perhaps no surprise therefore that the eponymous flower of Spring - the daffodil - traditionally means new beginnings. With its trumpet like centre it is a true herald of warmer days and cheerfulness to come.
As we round the corner from the station at the end of my road we're greeted by a lovely display of tete a tete daffodils and these inspired my work for this month's flower of the month card.
You may remember from earlier posts that I fell in love with thread crochet two years ago. By working designs from Caitlin Sainio's excellent books (I have them all!) I have acquired a new skill and in the process found a way to represent real flowers in my work. I started this month by crocheting 'Daffodil' from her book 100 Lace Flowers to Crochet. It was just the right size to turn into a brooch for my jacket.
So now to the hard part - to design my own daffodil for this month's card. Using photos of my neighbour's tete a tetes as a guide I worked a longer trumpet with a frilly edge and surrounded it with six petals - not too big and quite pointy. I used two different shades of gold and yellow no. 12 thread and a 1.5 mm hook. This was the result.
Even more luckily I discovered from The Daffodil Society's site that whilst a single daffodil means misfortune, lots bring joy and happiness!
Sarah was very happy with her card and once her celebrations are over is going to display it framed. I've listed this card in my Etsy shop if you would like me to make one for you. https://www.etsy.com/listing/270492661
Yesterday brought a very enthusiastic response to the pictures I posted on Facebook of this project so I spent the evening working some other named daffodils. Here are my takes on Pheasant Eye, Pink Charm and Pueblo.
Here at Lavender Heart HQ our new beginnings involve revamping the website www.lavender-heart.co.uk and exhibiting at my first fair for over a year. I'm joining some other handmade crafters at the Gingham Goose craft market in Hayes, Kent on 12th March. There's a fantastic tea room serving delicious cake and refreshments and entry is free. Here's the link to their Facebook page for more information on this and their other events https://www.facebook.com/ginghamgoose/.
Till next time.
Lots of love

A Valentines Day For Me
This year I think I'll be my own Valentine.
It's always a typical blogger thing to create blog posts for seasons and celebrations through out the year, it gives us something to write about really. However Valentines Day has never really been one of my favourite ones.
It's not like I'm a grinch-y kind of character for valentines day, I've just never really had a reason to celebrate it.
So this year, while out shopping with my mum who was looking for chocolates for my dad, I decided I would be my own valentine. At the time just so I had a reason to buy some chocolate with out feeling guilty.
But later I started thinking.
I don't think I've been giving myself enough self love over the past couple of weeks, or even months. I've been stressed a lot, with college work, studying, uni and planning for an Iceland trip. Might not seem much but I can become way too stressed way too easily.
So with it being the season for love, why not give myself some.
It's not wrong for us to love ourselves, well I guess as long as you don't go over the top. As I see it, we're the one person who's always going to be there for ourselves throughout our lives no matter what. So we better love ourselves and ourselves love us.
We deserve that!
And it's not like we need a partner to share some love. You can share love between family and friends as well.
There isn't just one type of love.
Anyway this has turned into a bit of a ramble.
If you do celebrate Valentines Day with your other half, that's awesome. And if not, think about giving yourself some love.
And keep it up. Loving isn't just for one day of the year.
Why not share so love <3 Twitter Instagram Bloglovin

*Taking Woodstock (R)
Chapel Hills 15, Cinemark 16, Hollywood Interquest, Kimball's Peak Three, Tinseltown
Though Ang Lee came to the U.S. more than 30 years ago and began his filmmaking career with stories about people who, like him, were Taiwanese or Taiwanese-American, he gradually migrated to distinctly American tales. More specifically, his films began to address American ideas that had come to be mythologized: the swinging '70s (The Ice Storm); the Civil War (Ride with the Devil); the taciturn West (Brokeback Mountain). Even his much-criticized Hulk was a take on an American myth.
Taking Woodstock, in that context, falls squarely within Lee's sweet spot. This may not be a look at the Woodstock that was, but it's fairly charming as a look at the Woodstock that we wish it had been.
Lee and screenwriter James Schamus adapt the memoir by Elliot Tiber and Tom Monte, following young Elliot (Demetri Martin) through the summer of 1969. A struggling interior designer, he spends his time trying to keep afloat the crumbling Catskills motel run by his mother (Imelda Staunton) and father (Henry Goodman). Elliot uses his role as president of the local chamber of commerce to lure a festival kicked out by neighboring towns. After all, it's just going to be three days of peace, love and music. What could go wrong?
The film's first half takes a mostly farcical course. Lee and Schamus effectively establish the town's pokey rhythms — including a goofy chamber meeting focused on odd minutiae. Staunton gets a great scene arguing with the bank manager over extending their loan, and Eugene Levy has hilarious moments as dairy farmer Max Yasgur, most notably when he plays hardball with Woodstock organizers while serving up chocolate milk. As a purely comedic take on culture clash, Taking Woodstock is thoroughly satisfying.
Eventually, of course, it has other thematic fish to fry. As festival preparations proceed, we learn more about Elliot, who seems to have sacrificed not only cash and career for his parents' sake, but his sexual identity. Elliot's growing need to live openly comes into focus through Woodstock — which makes it hard not to wish for a more dynamic, experienced actor. Martin has a shaggy appeal when dealing with lighter material, but when he's asked to pull off serious expressions of internal conflict, he's not quite up to the task.
It's fortunate, then, that most of Taking Woodstock allows Elliot to serve as a surrogate for the audience's experience of those three muddy, insane days. Lee captures the event's scope by turning the stage into little more than a rumor for most attendees, and following the staggering human parade making its way to the festival grounds. While the narrative touches on logistical nightmares — disposing of human waste for half a million people; avoiding electrocution during downpours — mostly it's a chance to marvel at how much went right in this impromptu utopian community.
Lee may romanticize Woodstock — his visual interpretation of an LSD trip basically turns the world into a Van Gogh painting — but he also recognizes how short-lived this dream was. He ends the film not just on a shot of people gathering the garbage left behind, but with an oblique reference to the upcoming — and ultimately tragedy-marred — music festival at Altamont.
The blissed-out Woodstock vision may not have lasted, but Taking Woodstock suggests that at least for a few days, it was real. And even if that point of view is a myth, it's a tremendously appealing one.

Copplestone Farm Shop
Once a month I have to go to a farm between Crediton and Tiverton. On my way I pass two farm shops. One of these is Copplestone Farm Shop, located on a main road and with a large carpark, so no excuses really for not popping in............ I've only been in once before - last summer.
Well one month I fly past in the afternoon and am always running late so can't stop off. Sounds like an excuse? Yes, you're right, it is! I should leave earlier!
This month it was a morning trip So on my way back I paid it a visit.
As I was waiting to turn in I saw the sign advertising English yellow tomatoes and Jersey Royal potatoes ........... I'd made the right decision.
Before I'd even got in the door I was clutching yellow tomatoes, spring cabbage and cauliflower.
Inside I picked up a basket and soon filled it with purple sprouting broccoli, celariac, Jersey royal potatoes and lots more ....... see for yourself!
It was so good to be able to touch and feel everything to make sure it was fresh and ripe.
Also there are blackboards up inside the shop with everything priced and smaller tickets for the outside displays. Also all the English produce is flagged up.
And of course I had a lovely chat with Mrs. CFS.
Now for those of you taking note .............. I'm sure you'll point out that I've just bought a lot of fruit and veg for £17.21 on this months budget ...........................yes you're right...........
However it was too good an opportunity to miss, as tomorrow Chris is at a market and I've got errands in Holsworthy. Also I want decent fruit and veg for a change!
Soooooooooooooooo I'm bending the rules and this is actually going to come out of next months budget. (its only a day after all!)
Incidentally this last month we have spent £234.88 out of our new £240 budget!

We're officially in the middle of the dead zone-- You know, that time every year where many Valley restaurants take a couple weeks or even the whole month off. That's why it's all the more important to patronize restaurants right now that are sticking it through the summer season lull just so you have somewhere to eat. If you're looking for playful, modern Asian fare with cocktails to pair, head to Clever Koi for a date night deal Monday through Wednesday evenings.

Clever Koi's "It Takes Two" dinner deal features a list of three rice dishes or five noodle dishes to choose from, including steak bibimbap, kimchi fried rice, ramen, and hot pots. Each dining duo picks two of these dishes for $30 with included sochu punch, a mix of sochu, allspice dram, passionfruit and other juices.
However, if sochu isn't you're thing, you can shell out five extra dollars and have your choice of four cocktails to split. The Bee's Knees with lavender honey and vanilla oil is light and tart, while the Bull in A China China Shop has more of a spicy kick with a sriracha cordial and hellfire bitters. Or you can skip the booze all together and tack on $10, for a total of $40, with a bottle of wine included.
The choice is really up to you, and all you need to do is find another person.

5517.01 Policy Against Bullying and Harassment
In response to changes made to Florida Statute
, that became effective July 1, 2013, Brevard Public Schools has updated School Board Policy 5517.01 that prohibits bullying, harassment, teen dating violence, and abuse. The policy ensures that all students, employees, and volunteers learn and work in an environment that is safe, secure, and free from harassment and bullying of any kind.
Florida Statute 1006.147 defines bullying to include cyberbullying and means systematically and chronically inflicting physical hurt or psychological distress on one or more students or employees and may involve but is not limited to chronic teasing, social exclusion, threat, intimidation, stalking, including cyber-stalking, physical violence, theft, sexual, religious, or racial harassment, public humiliation, and destruction of property.
Cyberbullying means bullying through the use of technology or any electronic communication, which includes, but is not limited to, any transfer of signs, signals, writing, images, sounds, data or intelligence of any nature transmitted in whole or in part by a wire, radio, electromagnetic system, photo-electronic system, or photo-optical system, including, but not limited to, electronic mail, internet communications, instant messages, or facsimile communications. Cyberbullying includes the creation of a webpage or weblog in which the creator assumes the identity of another person, or the knowing impersonation of another person as the author of posted content or messages, if the creation or impersonation creates any of the conditions enumerated in the definition of bullying. Cyberbullying also includes the distribution by electronic means of a communication to more than one person or the posting of material on an electronic medium that may be accessed by one or more persons, if the distribution or posting creates any of the conditions enumerated in the definition of bullying.
Harassment is defined as any threatening, insulting, or dehumanizing gesture, use of data or computer software, or written, verbal or physical conduct directed against a student or employee that: places a student or employee in reasonable fear of harm to his or her person or damage to his or her property, has the effect of substantially interfering with a student's educational performance, opportunities, benefits or has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly operation of a school.
Bullying and harassment also encompasses retaliation against a student or school employee by another student or school employee for asserting or alleging an act of bullying or harassment. Reporting an act of bullying or harassment that is not made in good faith is considered retaliation. Perpetuation of conduct is listed in the definition of bullying or harassment as causing an individual or group with intent to demean, dehumanize, embarrass, or cause emotional or physical harm to a student or school employee by incitement or coercion, accessing or knowingly and willingly causing or providing access to data or computer software through a computer, computer system, or computer network within the scope of the district school system and/or acting in a manner that has an effect substantially similar to the effect of bullying or harassment.
Cyber-stalking, as defined in Florida Statute 784.048(1)(d), means to engage in a course of conduct to communicate, or to cause to be communicated, words, images, or language by or through the use of electronic mail or electronic communication, directed at a specific person, causing substantial emotional distress to that person and serving no legitimate purpose.
Florida Statute
(1)(a) prohibits dating violence and abuse by any student on school property, during a school-sponsored activity, or during school-sponsored transportation
Andrew Jackson Middle School is committed to providing a safe learning environment and will not tolerate bullying or harassment of any kind. Incidents of bullying or harassment can be reported to Assistant Principal Ms. Shockley or Dean Strain. Anonymous reports can also be made by calling the Speak-Out Hotline at 1.800.423.8477.

Acupressure balances the body's energy by applying pressure to specific points along energy channels. The term "pressure" is misleading, since acupressure actually uses a very light touch. A practitioner uses her fingertips to make contact with the body. It's the location of the contact that's important, not the amount of pressure.
Some people like firm, strong pressure, especially in areas where muscles are tight. A practitioner can adjust the amount of pressure to suit a client's personal preference, but the effectiveness of the work does not depend on the pressure.
How is it that lightly touching the surface of the body can affect the balance of energy? Our soft internal organ systems (the viscera) are connected with the exterior of our bodies (the bones, muscles, flesh) by a series of major energy channels, as well as by networks of small connecting vessels. Thousands of years ago, Asian cultures identified locations on the body where these energy pathways are close to the surface. In fact, these points can now be located with electronic "point finders" that measure electrical skin resistance. Acupressure points have a lower electrical resistance than the surrounding skin.
In Chinese medicine, energy and blood are closely related. The energy channels are pathways for both chi and blood. When a finger touches an acupressure point, the energy flowing in the channel is attracted to the surface. An acupressure practitioner will hold a point until she/he feels a pulsation under her finger. When energy is attracted to the surface, the flow of blood increases at that location and the pulse is felt. The pulse is a confirmation that the energy is now flowing.
A practitioner may use a variety of tools (pulse and tongue diagnosis, questioning, looking, listening) to assess the relative strength of the twelve major energy channels. She may find that one channel has an excess of energy and another is deficient in energy. There are different methods for holding points, depending on the relative strength of the energy.
By holding points in a specific sequence, energy can be increased where it is lacking or dispersed where it is overabundant. An acupressurist will move one hand along a series of points, waiting for the pulse to arrive. She holds the other hand on a "home-base" point, selected for its ability to assist the other points in releasing.
Acupressure and acupuncture use the same theory and assessment tools to select the points used in a session. An acupressure practitioner has some advantages. Because her hands are in contact with the points, she can detect changes in the energy during the session. She can then modify the selection of points to accommodate the body's response. Also, some points are not easy to needle, since they are located too close to bone or nerves, whereas all points are available to the acupressurist's touch.
While some acupuncturists include hands-on massage and hands-on assessment as part of their treatment, most do not. An acupressure session typically begins with Tui Na. This initial massage prepares the body to receive the work with specific points, increasing the effectiveness of the work. For this reason, acupressure produces a deeper level of relaxation than a typical acupuncture treatment. Ultimately it is this deeply relaxed state that allows practitionaires to reduce stress and strengthen the body's natural healing ability.
Accupressure technique
Press for around 1 to 5 minutes on any points you are treating and give an equal time to the same point on each side of the body, as in fact you may experience discomfort on one side when the problem is actually on the other side. (DM20 is the only exception here as it is the only point I've listed in the centre of the body). Use moderate pressure – you're not trying to drill a hole in yourself but equally just resting a finger on an acupoint (Acupressure Points) won't have any noticable effect. You can use fingertips, knuckles, or thumbs to press as some points are going to be easier than others. For example I bend my middle finger and use the knuckle to press on S36, but use only light fingertip pressure on Taiyang. A useful tip for doing K1 is to grip your left foot with your left hand, the left thumb pressing on the accupoint, and then use your right hand to turn the ball of the foot 10 times clockwise then anti-clockwise – then do the same on the other side.
Measuring to accupressure points
Body inches, cun (or Chun), are a useful way to find accupressure points. This is a quite accurate method of measurement as it is in proportion to the size of the person. The width of your thumb at the knuckle is one kun, the width of the other four fingers measures three cun.
Suggested points for particular symptoms
- Insomnia – – K3, H7, PE6, SP6, LV3, LI 4
- Digestion – – S36, S40, SP3, LV3
- Muscle stiffness/ Soreness – – S36, B57, B40, K3
- Anxiety – – B15, TW6, PE6, H7, SP6, G20
- Headaches – – Taiyang, DM20, B2, G20, G41
- General Tonification – – S36, K1, LV3, SP3 or SP6, G41

This week, The Real Housewives of New Jersey basked in the aftermath of the drama that went down last week, including the infamous hair-pulling incident.
Danielle Staub, who is trying really hard (but failing) to appear sane and rational, took to the boxing ring. She wanted to hone her defense skills, since she fears for her life and all.
"It only takes one good smack to the head to make a person never walk again," she said.
Ever the busy bee, she also filed charges against Ashely, 19, for pulling her hair, just as we knew she would.
For her part, Teresa Giudice had no regrets about instigating the entire incident, but provided the best quotes of the night.
"When Danielle was yelling at me, I just wanted to bitch slap the bitch, but I know how sue happy she is, so it's best that I keep my hands to myself," she said.
"The only thing I regret is pushing Kim G. because she's an older woman, and I do respect the elderly."
Speaking of Kim G. -- who I hate to even mention because she's such a ridiculous addition to the show -- what a two-faced you-know-what! She's by Danielle's side one moment, then running over to Jacqueline to laugh about the play-by-play afterwards.
I actually feel sorry for her because she seems so desperate ... for something. Remember the pole dancing episode when she took to the pole? *SHUDDER*
But back to Teresa ... when she visited husband Joe's new pizzeria and accompanying apartment units, she refuted rumors that her home is in jeopardy due to financial problems.
"Danielle is telling everyone my house is under foreclosure and it's not," Teresa said. "I own a lot of properties in my name -- some good investments and some bad investments. The economy is bad."
When Joe jokes that they'll have to move into one of the units, she laughs it off.
"Joe is totally kidding that I'm going to be living in one of those apartments. That's never going to happen. I could never see myself living there," she said.
Never say never, honey. If I may call you honey? ...
Did you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey this week? What did you think?

collection of images of angels
I have always been intrigued and inspired by the image of angels. Sturdy wings spread across the sky, powerful eyes gazing at the heavens, fiery swords in hand; the image of the angel is certainly inspiring. I have learned I am not alone in this opinion.

Informal minute taking (or why you shouldn't play Words With Friends during a meeting)
I was sitting in our company's monthly informational/pep-rally meeting one day, minding my own business and trying to make out my grocery list when I heard my name being called.
"Olivia, would you please take the meeting minutes this morning?"
I said to myself, "whaaat?"
Why do we need minutes anyway and how do you take them without copious scribbling, hand cramps and documenting misinformation?
Taking the minutes of a meeting are simply notes to remind the attendees what was discussed during the meeting. They should be accurate, readable and quick to scan through.
It's useful to have a written record of almost any meeting (regularly scheduled, an emergency one or an add-on meeting focusing on a singular issue), however banal it seems to appear. As the designated minute-taker in an informal meeting, your role may also dictate that you participate in the meeting, especially in a small group setting.
Objectives of the minutes are:
- Having a written record of the meeting and attendees
- Stating what you would like to accomplish
- Listing who is going to be responsible for each task
- Keeping absentee co-workers up to date
- Goals for the next meeting
A good meeting is one that has a prepared agenda with outcomes expected, timely goal setting and participation by all. Following the helpful tips below will make sure that everyone benefits from shared goal setting and a work place community that works as a team.
- Most people in an informal setting use paper and pen to jot rough notes. If you have access to using a laptop or mini-recorder….great! However, having a back up of pencil and paper covers you if someone forgot to recharge that battery.
- It's helpful to have the minutes of the last meeting handy for quick reference in case you need to refresh memories on past decisions. A quick overview of the last meeting by the minute taker provides continuity in ongoing discussions and proposed plans of action.
- At the top of the paper list; date, time, place, attendees, absentees and the moderator. If a more formal approach is desired, there are templates available online for both formal and informal minute taking.
- If the numbers attending are small, it might help to draw a seating plan so you can refer to it as you note who-said-what.
- Divide paper so that you have a column down one side to note who will be doing each task.
- Keep notes to key themes, you don't need every little detail or point.
- Note key outcomes with decisions made, actions agreed upon and the persons responsible for the task, upcoming deadlines and any open issues for ongoing or future discussions.
- Set a time frame and stick to it. The minute takers are often the timekeepers so it's appreciated when the meeting wraps up on time.
- Take rough notes; clean it up later and write-up neatly. Distribute the write-up as soon as possible while it's fresh in your mind, same day if possible. Always keep copies of documents or a back up of the minutes. Document, document, document!
While you may not get your to-do list done at your next meeting, participating in an active role as minute taker will help you develop good listening skills, identify objectives quickly and communicate the meeting outcomes concisely and accurately. The added benefit of helping to shape company goals and facilitate outcomes just might get you that much-needed raise!

The International DN is a class of ice boat. The name stands for Detroit News, where the first iceboat of this type was designed and built in the winter of 1936-1937. Archie Arrol was a master craftsman working in the Detroit News hobby shop, and together with iceboaters Joe Lodge and Norman Jarrait designed a racing boat they called the "Blue Streak 60", later to become known as the "DN 60". In 1937 a group of 50 laymen worked with Archie in the hobby shop to produce the first fleet of the new iceboats. These first boats broke during the initial season, and after Norm and Joe modified the design to increase the strength, the group got back together to build a second set of iceboats in 1938.
This design, featuring a narrow, single-person cockpit, three steel blades in tricycle style arrangement and a steeply raked mast, remains to this day the most popular ice boat design in use.
The DN is 12 feet (3.7 m) long, with a 21 inch (53 cm) wide cockpit and an 8 foot (2.4 m) wide runner plank. The 16 foot (4.9 m) mast supports 60 square feet (6.5 m²) of sail area. The front runner is typically rigged with a steering rod that connects the runner to a tiller that is mounted just aft of the mast base. The boat weighs 100 lb (45 kg), and is piloted by a single helmeted sailor.
The class has a devout following. The IDNIYRA, publishes standards for boat design and allows enthusiasts to assemble for races and to share good ice locations. The DN is raced extensively in the northern United States, Canada, and throughout Northern Europe, with World Championships alternating between North American and Europe each year. In addition to the World Championship, the North American and European Championships count towards a racer's World Ranking.
One of the reasons that the DN Ice Boat Class has become so popular over the years has been largely in part to how transportable and fast they truly are. With a steady 10-12 mile per hour wind and good ice conditions, the DN, when piloted properly, can reach speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour. And with just a 12-15 mile per hour steady wind, the Detroit News Ice Boat can reach a readily attainable 55–65 miles per hour, providing a thrilling rush of purely unadulterated bone chilling wind powered ice sailing.

The Conway Springs KS
Night Tornadoes
of 29 May 2004
All images and text © copyright Gene Moore.
This set of images occurred after the Conway Springs wedge shots. I had to drive south a few mile to get a road east. I also had to navigate through a roadblock, fortunately they let me pass. In retrospect I think I would have been better to stay where I was and shoot east into the darkness. The large Conway Springs tornado rapidly narrowed down to the trunk shown in the first image and I missed that transition while driving, although I could see it going to my north. While driving I could see occasional ground flashes to my northeast. Watching that area closely while proceeding east I saw a narrow elephant trunk tornado about 3 miles east of the large tornado. Then it lit up a bunch of power lines again with flashes reflecting off the cloud base above the tornado's debris cloud. I immediately stopped to video tape the action, it was totally dark at this time so I had to wait for another flash to frame the the tornado. Meanwhile the west tornado was still in progress and I could see ambient light reflection off the side of the funnel. Then a third tornado formed west of the large one and I had three tornadoes in progress at the same time. All these images are shot with the video camera into total darkness which accounts for the grain. Unfortunately there was not time for me to set up the digital still camera, that would have been great. This storm system had kept me on the run since it started many hours ago near Alva, Oklahoma and this was the final performance.
The original Conway Springs wedge tornado narrowed down to an
elephant trunk in the darkness. It was visible in the darkness. Tornadoes with
a smooth laminar wall are occasionally seen in total darkness as light reflects
off the side of the funnel.
The tornado is slowly leaving me as they always get the hypotenuse going northeast. I was beginning to run out of good zigzag roads and also nearing a higher population area which would slow me down.
My first shot of the tornado hidden in darkness to the east. My
guess on this funnel was that in formed in the shear of the inflow jet of the
larger Conway Springs tornado then slowly moved west to converge with the main
funnel. This shot was after I saw it hit the power lines.
Another tornado quickly forms to my north or about 2 miles behind the Conway Springs tornado. So we had three tornados in progress at this time. Hidden the grain you may be able to see the debris cloud. This tornado was violent but I don't know how long it lasted.
Here the two funnels appear to be merging as the large one
travels northeast and the small one continues west. I assure you, seeing this
at night will increase your heart rate!
It seemed for a while the two tornadoes were not going to get closer than this image depicts. I could see little movement in the smaller east tornado.
As strange as it seems the old Conway Springs tornado was getting larger. That is, the condensation trunk of the tornado had thickened in size during this time. Had it entered an area of higher convergence and shear due to the other tornado?
Finally the two tornadoes get closer together, I did get a shot
after this that shows the small tornado behind or north of the large funnel. I
never did see them merge though. Perhaps other chasers can verify
During this time the other tornado directly to my north is still in progress, but getting almost impossible to see. I did not capture the demise of this funnel, I just lost it in the darkness. After these shots I tried to drive north and that resulted in congestion and road blocks where the east tornado had brought down power lines.
If I expected to continue the chase I would have to drive further east and wait for the storm to approach. I tried this tactic but by the time I got on the supercell again the tornados had dissipated. More storms with continuous lightning formed to my southwest and approached my area. The lightning was spectacular from these cells, but I did not see any tornadic activity.

NRA Responds To Obama Executive Orders
WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the National Rifle Association says his organization has no problem with tighter background checks of gun purchasers. But NRA president David Keene tells "CBS This Morning" that too much emphasis is being placed on banning certain firearms, in response to last month's elementary school massacre in Connecticut. Keene says more attention should be paid to making schools safer and fixing the country's mental health system.

Have you ever wondered what happens to all the food waste produced by restaurants, supermarkets, and cafeterias? It turns out that these businesses spend billions of dollars every year to dispose of the waste in landfills, where it slowly decomposes and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas. A new company called ReGenerate wants to change this. ReGenerate is developing a technology that can turn food waste into biogas and a rich fertilizer – on site.
In doing so, companies would no longer have to pay for food waste disposal and could use the biogas to generate most of the hot water for their business by connecting it to their existing heating system. The result is a net decrease in greenhouse gas emissions (since the food waste is essentially being recycled) and the creation of valuable commodity (biogas and fertilizer). And by keeping the waste on site, it will no longer take up space in the landfills that have become a point of controversy for communities across the nation.
How does this technology work? It relies on the same principles for digestion as a cow. Yes, a cow. Pulped food waste is fed into an anaerobic chamber (without oxygen) where bacteria break down the waste into natural gas (methane) and fertilizer components. ReGenerate affectionately refers to the technology as the Compact Organic Waste System (COWS). The company estimates that the fertilizer components would be picked up once every 20 days and transported to a nearby composting partner for sale to local businesses.
The idea and team that drive ReGenerate were formed at the University of Michigan. Believe it or not, the founding members were affiliated with the biogas club and formed a collaboration that was cemented between classes and happy hours. So far, the team has won funding from competitions sponsored by the University and state businesses, which were integral in driving the formation of the company and development of the technology.
ReGenerate has developed a business model that takes something with negative value (food waste) as a feedstock and transforms it into a valuable commodity. At the same time, they are reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving companies money. This is exactly the type of innovative thinking and ingenuity that will be required for the US and the world to address the global environmental challenges that will define our time.

Hi. Hope you enjoy you stop in this camp-Send me an e-mail if you'd like to chat about any of my interests. I have links to many of them here.
This is a gateway to the OSAT
Aconcagua Expedition and OSAT
Library websites
MIT Class of '69 DUs
My primary passion is my family, including wife Holly and daughters Hillary and Vanessa. Vanessa graduated from Wellesley College in Wellesley, MA in 1997, and is continuing graduate studies at Boston College. Hillary is a junior at Wellesley. To paraphrase a bumper sticker: "I send my daughters and my money to Wellesley!" Not only have they both followed me in identifying Boston as the best place in the world to go to college, but they have also both figured out that the greatest guys in Boston live at my old fraternity, the DU house at MIT.
Hillary was inducted into the Youth Hall of Fame. My wife and I live on Mercer Island , Washington (great topo map link!)
My next passion is mountaineering. I maintain a set of links to Washington state climbing information I pursue my mountaineering interests primarily through an organization called OSAT, One Step At A Time, an outdoor and mountaineering club for members and friends of 12-step recovery programs originated by a business associate and mountaineering friend of mine, Jim Hinkhouse
I led the club expedition to Aconcagua in 1997. You can read more about our expedition. To get an idea of what we in OSAT think climbing is all about, take a look at me carving the watermelon that I hauled up to the Inter Glacier to share with friends for whom I was the sirdar who brought three other sherpas for their climb of Rainier. Friends acting as sherpas are a regular feature of major OSAT climbs.
I'm a member of the Boeing Alpine Society (BOEALPS) and the American Alpine Club , and I've have climbed Mt.Rainier 6 times (out of 10 attempts) on 3 routes, Mt. Hood 3 times on 2 routes, and summited numerous other peaks over 10,000 ft, including the highest peaks in Wyoming, Hawaii, New Mexico, California, Idaho, and Montana. I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in 1973.
I have other passions, but no doubt the most peculiar is my collection of "Do Not Disturb" signs from hotels and motels around the world. My collection numbers over 350 different examples now. If anyone has something to share on this subject, let me know via email. If you are an international traveler, I'd love to get a copy of the next "Do Not Disturb" sign you see hanging on the back of a hotel room door. If you pick up an unusual one for me, please e-mail me to get my mailing address.
I work in Product Strategy Analysis at Boeing Commercial Airplane Group(but any opinions herein are my own etc. etc. disclaimer.) Our family moved back to the Pacific Northwest in 1987 after 11 years in Chicago, where I was in Corporate Planning for United Air Lines .

When you first begin to network, it's okay to dabble… short-term. It can fuel your creativity. This sense of curiosity is important as you test the waters and begin to check out what networking is about and how it can work for you. Dabbling is simply a way of gathering new information and experimenting with new ways of doing something with it.
Clarity comes from engagement. Dabbling is a form of engagement. You get to look at and try out a variety of ways to network – some work – others don't and watch how others do it. Dabbling long-term is a mistake.
It is wise to focus on the successful networkers – never the ones who hand you their business card (whether you asked for it or not) and solicit your business. They have no plan other than to meet people, tell them what they do, and see if that person may want to buy something. That is not the path to building a long-term, networking relationship.
It takes time for networking to begin to work. It requires an investment of time. Time to learn the ropes. Time to make new friends and develop new relationships.
Don't be a quitter. Many people carry dabbling in networking to an extreme. They continue to just dabble and never quite move out of that stage. If you never begin to take networking seriously, you may be like many others, who start networking and eventually quit because they have not learned the discipline of finishing what they start.
Many never begin networking until their boss is on their butt to produce more sales. They come across as desperate – and most often they are – and to other networkers appear to be only a taker not a giver. To them networking is a hopeless sense that the situation is so bad as to be impossible to deal with. They describe their networking activities as unproductive, uncomfortable, a waste of time. And they quit!
Strategic networking offers you a way to change that, increasing your rewards, success, adding more meaning in your business and your life.
Networking is the art of connection. It requires the discipline to get out of your comfort zone and learn the techniques that successful networkers employ. There is much more to networking than attending a meeting, and collecting stacks of business cards. I repeat, it takes time to build a network. Your goal cannot be instant gratification because you will not find it when networking.
Smart salespeople who network don't do all the talking, they have learned to ask questions and really listen to the answers. They get to know the person they are talking with by listening and internally thinking of ways that they can help them. That is the beginning of a new relationship.
If you're creative and ambitious you will be a few steps ahead of others because you understand the concept of expecting good things to happen and have a knack of discovering ways to make things happen.
Education about networking can never be over emphasized. It is critical to your success. Study every networking tool. Expand your network. Learn from the networking leaders, read networking books, enroll in networking training and make it a habit to learn something new about networking every week. (If you are smart, you will share what you have learned with others in your network). Stay focused. No excuses. I have been actively networking for many years and I will admit that I do not know everything there is to know about business networking. I promised myself years ago that I would continue to learn and pass what I learned on to others interested in networking.
Although dabbling can lead to incredible innovation, it only works when you exercise your creativity and take what you have learned and do something different with it. You cannot continue to dabble in networking. If you do, you will see little to no results. People will assume you are either not serious, and are only there to make a quick buck, or forget you entirely.
You cannot continue to be a dabbler and succeed. Either do networking all the way, or don't do it at all!
Once your dabbling days are done… it's time to get serious about learning all you can about networking. Don't just test the networking waters… jump in and make some waves! When you see other networkers doing great, let that drive you. Let that build your belief in knowing that you can do the same thing.

Hema Malini will make a comeback on the small screen after eight years, as the producer of the new show Maati Ki Banno on Colors.
Premiering tonight, the show stars newcomers Via Roy Choudhury and Manoj Chandila. It will see a woman's extraordinary journey from the beautiful shores of Mauritius to the rural landscapes of Bihar's Chappra.
Hema Malini tells Rajul Hegde more:
Why did you decide to make a comeback with this show?
The show's writer approached me with the script for a film. The story touched my heart. But I thought it would make a better serial than film, and approached the channel.
I felt the story of this young and innocent girl going through such misery needed to be told. Also, it brought back memories of Chappra where I had held my first political rally
Why did you take a break from television production?
Rural background is the current trend on TV and I quite like it. That's why I opted for it. Earlier, I was a member of Parliament and could not produce any shows earlier. Now that my term is over, I have the time to return to television.
Prime time television is at 7.30 pm. But your show will be telecast on 6.30 pm. Why is that?
The channel is planning to redefine its prime time. They want their prime time to start at 6.30 pm.
Will you act in the show?
I am busy with my other commitments, so I don't think so.
Do you think the medium has changed from the time you made Noopur in 1990?
The scenario has totally changed. I produced, directed and acted in Noopur. Along with me, there was only one cameraman. Gulzarji used to write for the show and he never allowed me to change a single word.
Now, everything is so detailed. There are so many characters in the show -- there are cameramen, make up men and spot boys.
Television has become more competitive. It is difficult to sustain a show on television. Fortunately, a strong script, a good story and impressive characters can make a show work.
Do you watch TV serials?
Yes, but I hardly get time to watch TV. I watch shows like Kaun Banega Crorepati, Balika Vadhu, Ladoo, Jhansi Ki Rani and some dance reality shows.
What is the status of your film Tell Me Oh Khuda, with your daughter Esha Deol?
We are now in the post-production stage. It should release in early next year.
What is Ahana doing these days?
Ahana has started working on the story and script for our next production.

Please help me find a dojo in Melbourne!
Hey There Melburnians
I've just recently moved here from interstate and I've been looking for a new dojo for some time now... I'm hoping that someone can give me the hot tip on where to go.
I'm having a hard time finding a dojo because I have a few specific requirements:
1) I want to be able to train 7 days a week. I work shifts, overtime and on-call and so I may or may not be available on any given day. Besides, to be honest, given the opportunity, I will train 7 days a week. I'm an Aiki-jun-ki
2) I want a dojo affiliated with a major organisation because I've moved 4 times in the last ten years and every time I move interstate I join a new school and it's back to white belt for me... It's getting a little frustrating :\ I
3) A sizable dojo. A few that I've seen have been top classes with top teachers but the dojo have been smaller than my bedroom, and as a result the class basically stand by and watch while two or sometimes four others practice. I'm used to a dojo the size of two full basketball/netball courts (Jan de Jong in Perth if anyone knows of it) and I would think that in a place like Melbourne there would be something even better? I want to throw and be thrown without worrying about hitting some poor kid's head, or my own, on the wall!
4) No separatism/elitism within the school. I'm tired of being separated from higher/lower experienced students. It's no good, and the only reason it's happening is because the dojo is simply too small to fit everyone. I want to be able to learn from those more talented than I, and I'd like those less talented to be able to learn from me... And another thing - Hakama. A quick search around here will point to many a reference to Osensei claiming that training was to be done in hakama, and not just Gi(I believe he referred to the dogi as 'underwear'?)... And yet the majority (dare I say ALL?) of dojo which claim to follow the style of Osensei will not allow anyone sub-yudansha to wear the hakama. Now me personally, I've been studying MA's for 7 years now, and much of it has been done wearing hakama.I feel uncomfortable having it removed, and I really don't see why I shouldn't wear it. I mean, it has been argued that it hides poor leg movements, but if that's really the case then they would offer to allow me to wear it after having confirmed that my footwork is all good. But I'm always confronted with "only black belts get to wear them"...
If it's a matter of 'rank', well sheeet, people, what do you want, a medal? Crikey it's just a pair of pants, not a status symbol. The worst thing about those schools claiming that it is a matter of 'rank', is that they inevitably claim allegiance to the way of Osensei, and yet haven't done even basic homework about it. I don't want to go to a school to learn bad habits from those who haven't yet learned for themselves!
Help me! I'm lost! I just *know* that somewhere in this magnificent city is a huge dojo with dozens of happy friendly students who have done their homework and follow the right way, not the way everyone else does it. Please someone tell me where!

Hi, so my group wants to try Gestalt characters, and I have been voluntold to make custom classes for everyone, since I'm 'good with computers'. Let's just ignore the fact that I've never worked with PCGen files before, and we want to start next Saturday, so I need to learn how to do it, do it, and get it back to them, all in time for them to do up their characters.
So far, I've been instructed to make a Summoner/Spirit Guide (Oracle), a Divine Defender (Paladin)/Urban Ranger (Ranger), and a Mysterious Stranger (Gunslinger)/Eldritch Scion (Magus).
I started on the Summoner/Spirit Guide, since that player got back to me hours before the other two, and I've partially gotten it working, but not entirely. All the big things that aren't working seem to both be related to my use of SERVESAS. I can't select any archetypes, as despite using SERVESAS, the archetypes listed are all invalid, saying I need one level of the relevant class, and the only listed archetypes are the Summoner ones, instead of listing both Summoner and Oracle archetypes. Also, how exactly do I format the Favored Class Bonuses in the Race page, if I want it to have access to both the Summoner and Oracle Favoured Class Bonuses?
Thanks in advance!

If you're reading this blog you have stumbled across a mass of jumbled words as I try to make sense of what's in my head and my heart.
The collection of words that had the biggest impact on my journey from there to here were 'It's not your problem'. There, I said it and for as long as I live I will say it again. The words were related to Alcohol Addiction, an addiction that for years caused me pain, torment, upset, depression, frustration, sickness and a feeling of total helplessness. And I never even let a drop of alcohol touch my lips.
I remember sitting watching T.V, a programme about an alcoholic was on. It showed the plight that the drinker was going through, the constant battle with the bottle, but more than anything it showed the utter anguish the alcoholics family were going through. They were in a financial position to afford the best help available but anyone who has lived with an alcoholic will tell you, you could have all the money in the world but what is needed for a sober life is free - The desire and strength to do it.
The particular scene that sent shock waves to my soul was a family therapy session. The family members sat around all devastated by their loss; the loss of a man they once knew to the bottle. They shared their feelings of guilt at not being able to help this person who they loved dearly. They listed the things they had done to prevent or help the alcoholic- all useless in their efforts and then the therapist said it...
'Its not your problem. Its OK to walk away'. The wife crumbled and let out heart wrenching sobs, not at the thought that the therapist had highlighted that there was little hope, but that she had been given permission to leave, to shed the burden of care that so many relatives of drinkers carry on a daily, no, hourly basis. I said it sent shock waves to my soul because that was simply the start. The Tsunami didn't come until a couple of years later.
If I want to achieve anything from this blog- aside from the cathartic experience having releasing my emotional baggage, I would hope that just one person would read this and come to the same conclusion that came at a painstakingly slow pace...
Don't get me wrong, this isn't a blog created to be negative or unsympathetic towards people with Alcohol Addiction, but I feel there is very little help out there for the families of alcoholics. There's Al-anon or Al-ateen but I personally found their advice to be patronising and to be fair, for me totally useless. It might work for you, don't knock it 'til you've tried it but I tried it and I didn't like it.
I wanted somewhere to go where I could just talk about my experiences, to get it off my chest. I didn't want to be told that me trying my best to help the drinker was me enabling the habit. Maybe I didn't like reading that I might actually have played a part in the whole cycle of addiction. I found it almost impossible to 'let go' and ignore someone who was drinking themselves to death. Their 12 steps added more guilt to the over whelming guilt I was already feeling and if there was a Higher Power, surely it wouldn't have let things get to this stage in the first place?...so many questions, so few answers.
Long story short the alcoholic is the maker of their own destiny. I understand that is more or less the whole concept behind the AA- no one can help the drinker but themselves. The drinker has to start somewhere and at some point in their journey- before its too late someone, somewhere will have voiced a concern and they chose not to hear it. Even further down the line when there is still hope left someone else will have had a quiet word in their ear which again was shrugged off. It goes against human nature for someone to watch someone harming themselves, yet when things are as bad as you think they can get the AA or Al-anon advise you to sit back and watch the car crash. The sad thing is, unless you're very lucky it does get worse.
This is my blog. Its about my life with an alcoholic, it won't be an easy read; but it wasn't an easy life.

5 Crucial Tips on PSD to Drupal Conversion You Must Know

The World Wide Web is a highly competitive territory and unless you use a robust technology for your web development you will figure nowhere in the race. PSD to Drupal is one of the most popular techniques in the CMS and website development industry. This state-of-art PHP based open source CMS account for every genre of website you can think of – social networks, ecommerce websites, photo galleries etc.
It offers advantages such as modular framework, menu management, RSS-feeds, user account registration, web page layout customization and many more. Drupal developers have a large and active community where they exchange ideas and troubleshoot each other's problems. When you convert PSD to HTML/Drupal there are some important things that you need to keep in mind to ensure that your website stays ahead of the competition.
Five Tips You Must Keep In Mind
- Slice Precisely : You should slice your PSD file with surgical precession. Amateur developers tend to overlook this step and end up creating sloppy looking websites. You need to slice the file breaking it into logical sections of the website. Every slice should be put into a separate layer and exported individually as an image. These layers act as the building blocks of your PSD to Drupal template.
- Clean Coding : The quality of codes will decide the success of your website and thus you need to adopt clean coding techniques when you convert PSD to CSS/Drupal. Use semantic coding techniques as this will make the website friendly towards the search engines and generate more traffic. Remember the golden rule – hand code the website as the auto generated codes contain a lot of errors which hurt your SEO score and makes you web page unnecessarily heavy.
- W3C Validation : Once you have coded the PSD file it is very important that you validate them sticking to the standards of W3C. If there are any errors in your coding process, this validation will help you rectify them. This also ensures that your website will render uniformly across all the web browsers which is important to target a larger audience.
- Integration : This is the final step in the PSD to Drupal conversion process. Once you have converted all the files into HTML/XHTML and CSS you need to integrate them into the Drupal CMS. The integration needs to be executed with perfection using the latest methodologies as this will decide the functionality of the website as well as the user control in the admin.
- Professional Developer : Finally it would be wise for you to hire the services of a dedicated developer for your PSD to HTML/Drupal conversion project. The conversion needs a lot of expertise in areas such as cross browser computability, W3C validation, PSD to Drupal theme integration and HTML/XHTML/CSS mark-up languages. If these things aren't executed properly you won't have a robust website at your disposal. This makes it necessary for you to hire the services of a professional developer for the project.

Intersil: Looking Up
Page 1 of 1
Wireless networking chip maker Intersil of Irvine, CA, has completed its acquisition of flat panel display and optical storage (CD and DVD recordables) vendor Elantec Semiconductor, two months after announcing the deal. Elantec will become a fourth product group for Intersil, along with the company's Standard Analog, Communications Analog, and Wireless Access groups.
Each share of Elantec stock was converted to 1.24 shares of Intersil common stock, plus $8.00 cash from working capital. According to Dow Jones Business News, Intersil's first quarter sales were $134.1 million before adding Elantec, and would be $159.5 million with Elantec included.
Last week, Intersil's stock rallied 4.5 percent on news that it would join the S&P MidCap 400 Index following the Elantec acquisition. With the merger now complete, Intersil's stock was rated a "strong buy." Intersil's stock was down this morning from close yesterday at $30.21.
Just yesterday, Intersil lost a major customer when D-Link announced it was going with Texas Instruments as the supplier of chips for its 802.11b-based product line to bring down costs and add new features.
With the $1.4 billion acquisition complete, Elantec's president and CEO Rich Beyer is now president and CEO of Intersil Corporation, as former Intersil CEO Greg Williams moves to executive chairman of the company's board of directors. Beyer also joins the board, along with Elantec's former chairman and former CEO, Jim Diller. The board goes from seven to eight members.
Intersil's Beyer announced that by acquiring Elantec and now working in several markets with accelerated adoption rates, that Intersil will commit a $140 million investment to research and development, and will introduce over 150 new products this year.

Our 1st Christmas Tree [VIDEO]
Hopefully none of my guys friends clicked on this blog entry if they did let me preface this entire post with two things I love my wife and want to never forget anything about our 1st year, and I love Christmas. With that said yesterday we picked out our 1st Christmas tree. It was the day after a wonderful Thanksgiving at the in-laws (PHOTOS) I would love to start this story with, "Their was a Holiday chill in the air as I arose on November 25th, 2011, but we live in Orlando and it was sunny and 72 degrees. We had very little to do on this day so we woke up very late. (The Brinkmans and Raskins know how to party. I ended Thanksgiving asleep on the living room sofa while the ladies of the house closed down the day outside by the fire with the Hookah) The lady and I watched some football, ate turkey sandwiches and she squeezed in a nap. After the slow start to the day it was time to head out to our local mom and pop Christmas tree stop, Home Depot.
We did the lights before we went to a movie with some friends and then very unplanned we did all the ornaments while we watched Elf late into the night. (I searched Direct TV for anything Christmas and pretty much tivoed every holiday movie that airs.) I had so much fun doing the tree. My parents will remember how into Christmas I was as a child and it wasn't just because of the presents I love it all. This was a special night with my wife, our 1st tree. Although, I still managed to get the PBG "eye" for breaking an ornament. I was being "careless" I somehow blamed Santa. haha At 2:45AM the ornaments had all been hung and Dodger had already left us and burrowed deep into the covers on our bed. It was time for bed. Christmas is here.

President Al-Assad Congratulates Iran's Rouhani on Winning Presidential Elections
DAMASCUS, (ST)- President Bashar Al-Assad on Saturday congratulated his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani on winning a second term as president of Iran and on getting the Iranian people's trust to lead Iran and press ahead with enhancing the country's position and key role in the region and the world.
In his congratulation cable, President Al-Assad said the Iranian presidential elections have presented an example to follow as they were held in a democratic atmosphere and in high spirit responsibility.
President Al-Assad wished President Rouhani and the Iranian brotherly people all success and prosperity, stressing Syria's constant work and cooperation with Iran to enhance security and stability in the two countries, in the region and in the entire world.
Earlier President Hassan Rouhani was declared winner of Iran's 12th presidential election after getting 57 percent of the total ballot.

I tend to be very sporadic when it comes to buying comics, and I definitely fall in the group of people who when you can't find an issue or two that you missed when you try to catch up on physical issues, you stop reading a series completely. Well today I've begun the attempt to change that by going digital and doing my catching up with Comixology! These are the series I want to commit to:
Believe this is the final Punisher series that Steve Dillon (RIP) worked on. Frank Castle has been one of my favorite Marvel characters pretty much always.
Unabashed, no f**ks given sci-fi fantasy. Lovers from opposite sides of an intergalactic war running for their lives in a universe so weird the Doctor Who writers would have to be impressed.
An Austin kind of slice of life book about women who do roller derby.
My sister did more of the Archie reading growing up, but I got into this new series. It's modernly goofy. I especially like the first arc because it's the same artist who does Saga.
Imagine if Speed Racer was also street racing for drugs!
This is me being a wrestling dork. It's mainly about a wrestler on the back end of his career, done in the ring, but lingering connections to the business and the underworld pull him back into everything he wanted to leave behind.
Definitely for mature readers, clever and hilarious if the premise doesn't turn you away. Turns out there are people in the world that when they orgasm, time stops! What do you do in that moment? Crime/vigilante justice! Anime watchers or manga readers of Prison School or Keijo would appreciate this.
Instead of magic, Hogwarts is now a school for assassins, and all the top crime lords in the world send their children here. It gets dark.
I think back to the old South Park episode where it's big news that a broadcast TV show will say the word "shit," and in the process of everything it turns out that "curse words" are actual words of curse and things go crazy. That's why I picked this one up in the first place.
Suiciders (2015)
Dystopian Los Angeles where the favorite entertainment of the masses is the bloodsport of Suiciders. Part Running Man, part Escape from LA.
And the one I now want to start is Heavy Vinyl. Empire Records meets Fight Club. What could possibly go wrong?
That's my list at the moment, and I'm curious what everyone else is reading!

Tale as old as time …
Ovid actually wrote about game many, many years ago. He'd have mentioned headphones if he could have.
By Alexa Day
Long ago, I would have been able to tell you the number to the pay phone in the center of the local mall, in the town where I grew up. This was back when there was such a thing as a group of pay phones in the center of the mall. In fact, I think the mall itself is gone now. But at one point, I had that number memorized.
At that point in time, long ago, I had a lot of people rolling up to me to ask for my phone number. It's hard for me to say that; it sounds kind of immodest. I don't think I was getting any more attention than any other woman moving unattended through the world. I do have a fairly high…

The 30th Annual All-Alumni Golf Outing (AGO 2015) will be held at Gleneagles Country Club in Lemont on Friday, June 19, 2015. Back-to-back shotgun starts begin at 8:00 A.M. Founded in 1986, the golf outing has grown to play host to as many as 240 golfers, most of whom also join their fellow Crusaders for dinner.
The Alumni Association raises between $10,000 and $15,000 from the outing, making it a close second to the dinner and ad book as a source for overall school funding. Much of what is raised from fees and donations is poured right back into the outing, which has made it an affordable event that creates lasting memories for alumni and friends of all ages.
You can download the participation and sponsorship forms for this year's AGO. Remember, ALL ALUMNI are invited to bring friends and family foursomes or to sign up as a single or twosome. Please decide soon to place your reservation for the morning (7:30 a.m. registration) or the afternoon (12:30 p.m. registration) shotgun start.
Contact Jim Casey or Donna Eastman for more information.

Your very first bicycle? (Or childhood ride)
My first bike was a hand-me-down from my older sister. Swear to God, I think it had flowers on it. I still haven't fully recovered from that.
Favorite ride/race?
My all-time favorite race is the Firehouse 50 up in Grandview WI. I've done it at least 12 times. Very fun & fast race thru beautiful roads that ends with a small-town picnic. The 13 hour round-trip is tough though. I used to double-up and do the 50k race followed by the 50 miler. I figured a 13 hour round trip demanded 80 miles of racing. I still hold the course record for the 50k.
The best ride you've ever been on?
Another tough question. One that sticks out is riding in Boulder a couple years back and doing the climb up to Nederland on Canyon Blvd., then bombing back down to town on gravel roads. Epic climb followed by an exhilarating descent.
The most challenging ride you've been on?
My 1st 100 miler was years ago. I think the Milwaukee Journal had a local Century that I did after I first got into riding. I thought it would be a breeze. But instead, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE.
On a scale from 1(turkey)-10(falcon), how aero are you?
How aero is an ostrich? Maybe a "4"? I like to think of myself as ugly but fast. So I'll go with ostrich.
What is the most epic post-ride meal?
Anything that involves BBQ sauce and IPA
Do you have any pets/sidekicks? 4 pets/sidekicks:
Luna is our rescue dog (she rescued me). Linus is our fat cat, Newt is our skinny cat.
The farthest you've been from home?
Not sure. England/Scotland going east. Hawaii going west.
What bike do you ride most?
My custom Seven Evergreen SL But it's like asking which child is your favorite. They're all special.
Whats your dream bike?
Right now I'm thinking a track bike, but my wish list changes daily.
How often do you commute by bike?
I used to commute a couple times a week, through all weather. Not so much anymore, getting soft I guess.
Why do you ride?
At this point in my life, that's like asking "Why do I breathe?"

What tools do you have at your disposal?
One of the amazing things about the internet is the wealth of knowledge you can find in it. Now I know that there are some annoying aspects of it such as too many ads, expanding ads and the potential for identity theft to name a few. But isn't the internet how we all (or at least most) of us found CrossFit? I remember the first video I saw was Greg A. doing 45# dumbbell thrusters and muscle ups and was hooked. Thank God for surfing the web during work hours! Two sites that feed my curiosity for the universe is Seth Godin's blog (yes I know I posted something about him yesterday) and T.E.D. which stands for Technology, Education and Design. Both of these sites continue to challenge my perception of the world… and I like that. To visit Seth's site go here: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/ and to visit T.E.D. go here: http://www.ted.com/
But you may be asking yourself "what does this have to do with my business?" I could go into the Aesop fable-type answer but the short version is that it helps keep your axe sharp.
Enjoy this Video from T.E.D.
What tools you use to keep you ax sharp that may be relevant to the community?
BTW – If you don't know the Aesop version of that answer I will email it to you.

Dear All,
I would like to inform you what have happened at the IT Department during the last couple of months, and what our future plans are.
As of 1st of July, IT Department have successfully taken over the IT service providing at the Business School, replacing the former IT provider, Synergon. During the summer months, several IT-related improvements have been made at the Business School by us that hopefully will ease the everyday life there:
- significant increase of the internet connection bandwidth, from 10 Mb/s up to 100 Mb/s. With this, CEU BS now has a 10 times greater internet connection than before, and a more reliable connection which is linked in to the CEU network ( just like the Kerepesi dormitory and OSA ).
- the integration of the previously separated IT systems have made feasible a simplified access of the shared data on the CEU O: drive from the CEU BS, and vice versa
- significant increase of mailbox and file storage space limits
- CEU BS users can now log in on the dormitory, library and other CEU computers with their own accounts instead of a guest account
Now, as we have completed the IT-integration of the CEU BS, we will start working on the complete replacement of the 14 years old phone-system of the CEU.
Until the end of the year we will purchase and set up a new phone-center and we will replace all the old desktop phones, to let you start the new year with cutting edge, IP-based phone system, with brand new, modern desktop phones.
Yours sincerely,
