This is a custom printed vinyl sticker made by Noxer_DOD. I acquired this in trade from an anonymous source for an unspecified ransom. Part of what I love about living in NYC is the vast multitude of personalities participating in this culture of ours. I would never have cultivated such a network of talented artists were I to have remained at home in the Pacific NW. And, that more than all else, is why I stay. This is where I can have the largest impact on the community that built and developed me from an introverted, socially awkward teen into an incredibly confident, outgoing ambassador of illegal graffiti art.
A close friend of mine, and a legendary graffiti artist in his own right, once paraphrased prevailing KGB philosophy, "the KGB is 90% participants and 10% supporters". He equated me, then, to the 10% of the supporting staff. He meant this as a compliment, though, and I took it as one. I felt honored that someone of his stature would even acknowledge the contributions of a hobbyist photographer like me. It is terribly sad that beliefs like his are not the norm. Supporters like myself are scarcely found in the community as it takes great strength and fortitude to endure the harsh criticisms of the peanut gallery that is the graffiti world. I can't count the number of anonymous threats I've received. But, that won't stop me from participating in my own way until the day I die.

If you read my previous post then you know that I was honored to spend the day with Lush. Of the many topics that were covered in our conversations was my dream of someday opening a museum located in NYC that serves as a living testament to the history of graffiti art. Obviously my own collection would prove to be a literal drop in the bucket, but I still acquire pieces occasionally that I envision someday might be housed there.
This sticker by Nox is such an example. Rare, I think maybe a dozen were printed; beautiful, it's damn impressive in person; and authentic, it's not Picasso's palette, it's a piece of real graffiti made by a real graffiti artist that speaks to the contemporary trends of the era in which it was produced. I got the better end of this trade, believe me.
The table it sits on is another example of such a piece. Tags by Adek, Tetra & Este; there are tributes to Sure, Musk & Erie, as well as some outstanding representations of true West Coast handstyle funk. When I carried this table home across several modes of transportation, I smiled the whole time. I felt like I had saved a piece of history (in fact, I did save it moments before garbage collection on the LES); and that sensation is the inspiration for the future museum.
Donations, graciously, accepted.

Welcome to the final part of my thoughts on 'The Paragon Paradox' - and rest assured, it is the final part. (First part here, second part here.) First, a few words on the artist currently known as Scott Twells - a remarkable talent. I first encountered his work when he illustrated a yet-to-be-published story of mine for a yet-to-be-disclosed comic. Discussing his work with the editor, it struck me that though his style for that story was deliberately scratchy and cartoonish, it was also blessed with a remarkable sense of composition and some sublime posing. Oddly, Davey Candlish had also sent Scott a short Spencer Nero script to illustrate, which meant he ended up drawing two of my stories in quick succession - before being handed The Paragon Paradox on the strength of 'Spencer Nero Feels Your Pin'. The upshot is that only David Broughton has ever drawn more pages of my scripts* - a gent with whom he shares a similar talent for swiftness, without ever sacrificing quality.
Now for a few random observations:
Part One:
|Lettering by Jim Campbell
- The Dalmatian hanging out with Bulldog at the start is called Gooch - this is not a reference to any weird piercing (look it up! No, wait, don't!) but in fact a nod of the head to a book I enjoyed as a child, namely 'Mr. Gooch and the Penny-farthing', a story about some dogs that run a bicycle shop. The lead dog is a Dalmation in a boiler suit.
- Mr. Twells notably places the number '18' on Bulldog's hangar - 'Hangar 18' is, of course, a key song on Megadeth's 'Rust In Peace', one of the greatest albums in the history of the human species. Ergo, I posit that Scott Twells is likely a thrasher of some description.
- Ganesh's foe is a Promethean Eagle - the horrible thing that used to pull Prometheus's regenerating liver out on daily basis. At one point I was going to have Bulldog carried away by the eagle - until I remembered he'd just been carried off by a pterodactyl in his own series a couple of episodes ago!
Part Two:
|Lettering by Dave Metcalfe-Carr
- Jikan's arrival line is paraphrased from 'Shogun Assassin', in which Ogami Itto exclaims "They will pay... with rivers of blood!" On reflection this sounded a bit Enoch Powell, so I changed it. It wouldn't have been the most appropriate line for a story in which extradimensional immigrants threaten Britain...
- Ekhidna's changed slightly from James Corcoran's depiction - she's a bit better looking (still got nice cheekbones) and actually closer to what I originally imagined she'd look like.
Part Three:
- It struck me as I reached the end that this story is a
Freudian nightmare - a gigantic archetypal mother-figure gets
gang-bangedmauled by a bunch of macho men. Someone had to articulate it (but not excuse it.)
|Lettering by Ken Reynolds
- Bulldog and the big hairy metaphor: Wait a minute - didn't I say in my last post that Bulldog was the most down to earth of the team? Why is he going all metaphorical here? Well, given his lineage and pre-eminent status as small-press icon, I decided he was the best person to articulate the subtext of the story - namely that it's all about the difference between small-press comics and the work of 'the big boys' (as Davey Candlish likes to call them) at Marvel and DC. Ekhidna represents the latter - constantly repeating herself, squirting out debased copies of myths that once mattered, unable to do anything particularly original but always ready with a new #1. She's finally floored by the PARAGON characters, who of course represent the small-press: varied, versatile, hit-and-miss, off-the-wall and representing the true spirit of their creators. All done in the context of the crossover, that most quintessentially American of comics formats, filtered through PARAGON's 70s/80s Brit sensibility.
And that, as they say, is your lot!
*James Corcoran has drawn the same number as Scott.

eni Meeting 2012
EURopean Organisation for Rare DISeases
May 22nd – May 25th 2012
Between May 21st and 27th Barbara and I stayed in Brussels for the EURORDIS General Assembly, the European Congress for Rare diseases and orphan products and, last but not least, the third General Assembly of the European Network for Ichthyosis e.V..
Wednesday morning 9 o'clock, the General Assembly of EUORDIS started and after the activity report and the financial report (which can be looked at on the EURORDIS website) the Board of Directors was approved and the election of 5 new board members took place. I was very lucky to be one of the elected 5. Since I am in place of a board member who dropped out, my term of office is only one year. This gives me the possibility to have a look at the amount of work and time necessary to fulfil my own pretences and then to decide whether to apply for a seat again or not.
Afterwards we took part in a workshop "Centres of Expertise and Reference Networks" where the requirements for these institutions were presented in order to prepare for the sessions of the ECRD.
For the Ichthyosis the establishment of CoE's is not primary, since their existence is the condition for the development of European Reference Networks (ERN), the constitution of CoE's becomes a very important topic.
Europlan, the commission proposing the standards for the National Plans for Rare Diseases of the Member States, predetermines for a CoE an interdisciplinary approach because they start from the premise that EACH rare disease is multi-organic and therefore many different specialists would have to be in every CoE.
The ERN is supposed to be the institution where all information, data, experiences concerning treatment and care, different ways of diagnosis and therapies are being collected, deposited and may be called for by any CoE or clinician.
For Germany it could look like that:
CoE's in Freiburg, Tübingen, Ulm, Kiel and Salzburg and the ERN might be in Münster where all the NIRK data is already deposited. This will unfortunately not finance the NIRK, but might help to keep the coordinator of the network for a longer time.
Thursday and Friday we went to the ECRD.
Besides the CoE and ERN there were 5 more sessions.
One very important corner mark for the Ichthyosis is the implementation of the commission's recommendation on cross-border-healthcare. This would enable patients to obtain diagnosis and therapy in European countries and now they discuss about the obligation for the national health care system to take on the arising costs.
Although data bases are a wonderful and interesting topic, we could not go there, it overlapped with "translation from childhood to adulthood". The problem that many patients have a perfect health care system with all stakeholders working together wonderfully as long as they are children; this stops at
eni Meeting
Saturday morning at 9 o'clock we started the 3 rd General Assembly of the EUROPEAN NETWORK FOR ICHTHYOSIS.
By now we are thirteen countries:
Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Finland and the UK Great Britain.
Furthermore there are three associated members:
Ireland (which belongs to the UK), AAIM, a foundation from Monaco and a mother from the Netherlands (there's no association in the Netherlands at the moment).
Unfortunately not all association could take part. Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, Poland and Portugal couldn't send a representative. The mother from the Netherlands, Tessa Jabaaij made it possible to come.
The Board of Directors and the treasurer were approved and Maggie Aldwin from the ISG has been re-elected as president of the network.
Since the General Assembly decided to have a new logo, there is a contest for all members of the member associations.
The logo will represent a dragon, since this fictional creature is often linked to the appearance of ichthyotic skin and it is also viewed in several countries and cultures as a benign entity, magic, powerful and able to donate invincibility to others.
The character will have to appear friendly, positive yet strong and enduring. A "nice dragon" is what we are looking for. Please bear in mind the logo will be used for the web and in presentations but also for printing, in documents such as letters, flyers and posters.
The logo in itself will have to respect the following requirements:
not too complex a drawing
using as few colours as possible (3-6 colours is fine, please avoid a simple bitonal scheme)
be readable also when printed small (down to 1 inch/2,5 cm)
printable/usable on both white and black coloured backgrounds
The contest is open from now and will close September 30, 2012.
The file will be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com as vector graphic (such as SVG, EPS, AI and similar).
The winning logo will be selected by eni's Board of Directors and the result will be published on eni's website (www.ichthyose.eu).
Then we thought about possibilities to make Ichthyosis more public and the idea of creating a day or week for Ichthyosis came up.
The Assembly decided a Raise Awareness For Ichthyosis day resp. week. The day should be November 19, the date of the signing ceremony at the German notary. May 16th, the founding date and September 1st, the first meeting of some European associations have been discussed as well but these dates are already taken by other celebrations.
November 19
Raise Awareness For Ichthyosis
RAFI-day (or week, if preferred)
On that day and/or the week around that day all activities that help to increase the degree of familiarity of and the awareness for Ichthyosis are very welcome!
Treasure hunts, bicycle tournaments, ball games, Parties, garage sales, concerts, the sale of pastry, cakes or drinks, any form of competition, whatever you prefer....
The last discussion was about a very unpleasant and annoying happening. Marie-Cécile Verly requested a passport and since 2009 most countries only allow new passports with biometric data. So she had her fingerprints scanned and when she came to collect her new passport the fingerprints they had scanned did not match anymore. The skin of her fingertips, the lining, changed due to the Ichthyosis. Now she has got a testimony from a physician, stating that her condition leads to constant change in her fingerprints.
Nevertheless she will not be allowed to go into the US without the biometric conformity.
In Germany the authorities recommend all persons that cannot give fingerprints (due to missing hands or other reasons) to have a preliminary passport issued, it's valid only one year and there is no biometric data in it. People might not be allowed to travel to the US as well, but we do not know that yet.
This is not a solution; it's just a ridiculous stopgap.
I will talk about this topic to the DEBRA international, they should have the same problem – and of course I will bring it into the next EURORDIS Board of Director's meeting.
That was the official Assembly.
It was a wonderful time and I was very happy to meet all the attending representatives and maybe next year we will be even more.
For the next General Assembly we plan to join the Swedish Group for their family meeting in May. Since the date is not yet fixed, we will inform all member associations as soon as it is.

The Dilbert cartoonist has always had a bizarre fixation on Donald Trump, but even this is a bit much
Dilbert cartoonist thinks Trump's branding of terrorists as "losers" is brilliant, "weapons-grade persuasion"
Scott Adams, the cartoonist behind the popular strip "Dilbert," has a longstanding fixation with President Donald Trump that has been well-chronicled by my Salon colleague Amanda Marcotte.
Yet even for Adams, the claim that Trump branding Islamist terrorists as "evil losers" is "weapons-grade persuasion from the most powerful Master Persuader of our time" is shockingly hyperbolic.
Adams' argument can basically be summed up as follows: Trump chooses demeaning nicknames for people/entities he dislikes in order to draw people's attention to their perceived weaknesses, which in turn are magnified in order to better serve whatever goal Trump happens to be working toward. It's pretty silly to think that one must be a "Master Persuader" in order to come up with this tactic, but then again, Adams has a long history of attributing Trump's behavior to persuasion techniques instead of good ol' fashioned demagoguery.
Hence his half-baked theory that Trump is trying to "kill the ideas" of Islamists with his "loser" epithet.
"What kinds of people join the Losers? Mostly young males," Adams writes. "And you know what brand young males do not want on them? Right: Losers."
Adams goes on to argue that, while terrorists might like being called monsters and wouldn't be fazed by being called non-Muslim, "loser is different. No one joins the Loser movement."
Adams' theory falls apart for three reasons:
1. There is zero evidence that Trump has ever studied persuasion, at least in the sense that Adams is describing it.
2. There is zero evidence that Trump referring to Islamist terrorists as "evil losers" will have any impact on their self-image, in large part because it's highly doubtful their self-esteem is tied to Trump's opinion of them.
3. Perhaps most important of all: "Loser" is one of Trump's go-to insults. He's used it against Rosie O'Donnell, Cher, Mark Cuban, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz… even against this very website. Last time I checked, they're all doing fine.
Adams concludes by presenting a hypothetical scenario in which major browsers automatically converted the names of terrorist groups to Evil Losers, which he is convinced would ultimately "end recruitment for Losers."
"An hour ago you believed there was no way to stop the spread of the ideas behind terrorism," Adams concludes. "I just told you how to do it by the end of the week."
This is because, as Adams insists, our "Commander in Chief is also a Master Persuader."
A word of advice to Adams: Repeating the same word over and over again doesn't convince people of its intrinsic truth. Whether it's Trump calling everyone a "loser" or you constantly bringing subjects back to "persuasion," the act of repetition says far more about the person making those statements than it does about their targets.
It's also incredibly annoying.

I know I always say this, but brace yourselves, I'm going to say it again, I LOVED this family!! I even loved the dog Dexter, but how couldn't I? Just look at him. He's like a real life cuddly bear. This is what I'd call an all American family: three awesome kids, a dog, a beautiful home and football on the television!! I'm pretty sure the oldest is on his way to being a future sports all-star as well, or maybe he's already there?! AND they were going to roast hotdogs and marshmallows after I left. All American.
Thanks again to Aimee for having me and trusting me to capture your family as they are: loving, funny, quirky, silly, happy and even sad/mad. Yep, there were a few tears, but I would cry too if it could get me a Nutty Bar.

Is ABC Big Enough For Both?
Disney/ABC announced Oct. 24 that it has already cleared Couric's syndicated Katie to air in more than 60 percent of U.S. homes when it bows in fall 2012, fueling speculation about the future of the soap that has aired at 3 p.m. in most markets since 1963. ABC, which in September drew the ire of soap fans by replacing the long-running All My Children with the foodie chat show The Chew and jettisoning One Life to Live to the web, likely won't decide the fate of its last remaining soap until the spring. But GH clearly is under the microscope. The soap will "compete based on ratings and costs" with other offerings, says a network rep. Chew is off to a mediocre start, luring 1.9 million total viewers daily in its third week -- well below the 2.4 million that All My Children drew a year ago. But Chew, as well as The Revolution, a lifestyle strip that will launch in January, costs much less to produce than a soap. And while GH still averages 2.43 million viewers, that's down from 2.47 million last year and off 20 percent this season among females 18-to-49. "There's no extra reward based on how passionate people are about a show, especially when it might not be the right audience," says Sam Ford, an acade 0mic and co-editor of the book The Survival of Soap Opera. Sources say Katie is generating lower syndication fees than Disney had hoped but still will pull in more than $10,000 a week in such markets as Atlanta, Detroit and Dallas. Disney-owned stations in big markets will each pony up nearly $50,000 a week, helping to produce about $60 million annually and giving networks strong incentives to air the show in plum time slots -- just like the one that GH occupies.

I'm taking a pause in the epic holiday giveaway to ask two very important questions. Can you believe that Christmas Day is one week away? Does this house look to you like it's ready for Christmas? ME EITHER.
What's a boomerang doing there? Who leaves shoes on the coffee table? Why won't these boxes from the attic just unpack themselves? What's so hard about hanging a towel on a rack? And what has the cat done for me lately?
These are the things a mother ponders in her heart. And then she takes a nap.
I have so much to do. I should be panicking, but I'm not. Or maybe this is how I panic–by shutting down. FALALALALA CHRISTMAS I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
The Littlest Who wrote his letter to Santa the other day (and it's still not in the mail). In the middle of writing, he looked up, and asked, "Why don't grown ups write letters to Santa?"
"Because when you grow up, you graduate to be Santa's helper. And you know something?"
"It's just as much fun."
Okay, so that was stretching it a bit. But I wanted him to know that Christmas magic doesn't end with childhood. It is fun to be on Santa's team. I love it.
But the job should come with elves.
How are your holiday preparations coming together?

I also need a Gort (Highbrow head). I'd prefer to trade it for the Stylor (Chromedome head) that I have. Please contact me if you have one of the things I need or if you can point me in the right direction.

I rolled down my window and the officer pleasantly greeted us. He asked me for my license and the documentation for my car. I gave him both and he took them not even bothering to look at either. He began explaining to me that him and his partner were responsible for protecting the people of this area. I knew full well that he only wanted a bribe but I sat there quietly not moving or saying a word. Even after he had finished talking, I continued to sit quietly playing dumb. Unfortunately, I already knew I had given myself away at the beginning as I had been speaking in Spanish with him. Frustrated with me, the officer looked right at me and simply said, I'm not going to leave until you give me something for protecting the people in this area. I thought about continuing to pretend I didn't understand but the shotgun in his hands along with the corruption of the justice system here persuaded me otherwise. I pulled out my wallet and gave him some cash. He handed my license and documents back and told me to have a good night.
As I pulled away, anger started churning inside of me like a bad stomach ache. How the crap do they call that justice? Those guys are not protecting anybody. They are simply sitting beside the road and robbing the people they claim to protect. Just thieves in good guy uniforms. The rest of the 40 minute drive home, I thought about all the things that I would have liked to ask him. "Are all cops just selfish jerks like you? Do you have any respect for your country or for any of the people in it? Did you become a cop just so you could rob people? Do you have any idea what your uniform symbolizes and stands for?"
Thankfully when I got home I was exhausted enough from the day to fall asleep. However, even to this day, a full two weeks later, I feel the anger that rises up inside of me when I remember the situation. I don't feel angry about the money he stole but mostly about the fact that he was an incredibly unjust man in a uniform that represented justice. However, over the past two weeks I've wondered often if I'm that different from the police officer I encountered. I tell people I am a Christian and it is a uniform that represents justice. I may not have intentions to use my uniform to steal from people or deliberately treat people unjustly but sometimes I simply forgot what my uniform symbolizes or that I'm wearing my uniform at all. I think God must be fairly angry when I wear his uniform yet my actions don't line up with that uniform or when I simply haven't spent the time to know what it represents.
May God help me to remember:
That God's justice is showing grace and mercy to those who don't deserve it. (even the police officer who robs from the people.) Zechariah 7:9-10
That God's justice is doing to others as you would have them do to you. Matthew 7:12
That God's justice is not being partial to the poor or deferring to the great, but judging with justice. Leviticus 19:15
That God'd justice is loosing the chains of injustice and untying the cords of the yoke, setting the oppressed free and breaking every yoke, sharing your food with the hungry and providing the poor wanderer with shelter---when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood. Isaiah 58:6-7
That God's justice is leaving a position of authority, becoming humble and making yourself nothing, becoming a servant, and dying a painful and undeserved death. Phillipians 2:5-8

Discussion in 'YouTube' started by joberger70, Nov 19, 2008.
is there a way to get view faster than that i have 6000 view in one night.
it varies on the proxies aswell you know. also you can run more than one program at once to dble the power lol
another question is: is there a limit when youtube will get curious about the massive hits and your activities will get suspicious?
Yea! When u have 500,000 views and 12 Subscribers. LOL
is there any free robot to post comment on youtube
Yeah, you can post comments with Tube Booster. The answer to the first question is this link. It is my method of a bunch of YouTube views and a little extra:
If its a fresh account, and you used United States to sign up, do this.
Create a new account, and pick a country that is easier to get on the most viewed/responded/rated lists. Like UK or Canada. I got one response on a video and landed #65 most responded CANADA. The awards will help you get more subscribers. So create a new account and say you are from UK or something, just not US. Then boost views. I boost about 5k at a time, then lay off and check my stats later. Keep doing that until you land some honors. Then just keep doing a few thousand views at a time to keep your awards. When you get enough subscribers, you can increase the amount of views you do.
IF you have an older account, go ape shit it shouldn't matter.
Separate names with a comma.

The premise of prevention in any setting is the same - stopping violence before it occurs. The common elements that are relevant across settings are those that address the root causes of violence against women and girls. Those common elements that need to be addressed are power and control of men over women, gender inequality and discrimination against girls and women. Interventions to address these root causes require longer-term planning to secure equal rights of women, substantive changes in the economic, social and political status of women and changes in the norms of society that devalue women and girls, discriminate against them and tolerate abuse.

In Catalano's semiautobiographical novel, a young college professor sets sail through the Middle East in the 1980s.
Protagonist and narrator Joe Pisano is a college professor and yachting enthusiast, much like Catalano (Music and Literature/Pace; Clifford Brown: The Life and Art of the Legendary Jazz Trumpeter, 2000). As the novel opens, Pisano is sailing through calm waters with his friends, playing captain with histrionic panache. A self-professed romantic, his head is filled with maritime literature. One of the novels strengths is Pisano's enthusiastic narration, which slides between self-deprecation, naïveté and hypersensitivity. Describing these early, easy sea travels, Pisano quips: "My guests, who referred to me as 'Captain,' seemed to enjoy my exaggerated storytelling, but they enjoyed the refreshments and swimming more than anything else." Then Pisano gets a call to participate in a real sailing adventure: A crew circumnavigating the globe needs an extra crewmember from Cairo to Milan. Before he can quote Homer's "wine-dark sea," Pisano is on a plane. Once in the Middle East, he finds only disillusion: The boat is in terrible shape; fellow crewmembers, Roger and Dick, are silently disgruntled on their best days; and the sailing is a monotonous cycle of terrible weather, run-ins with bandits and hard labor. Some of the episodes, like an encounter with a dock full of treacherous-looking gunmen, live up to the standards of classic sea-faring adventure literature. Readers may wish all aspects of the novel exhibited the same attention to detail the author reserves for exploring his protagonist's inner life. Roger and Dick are sketchily drawn, and most of Pisano's interactions with them fail to deepen their characters; readers may long to hear their perspective, but it never comes. Catalano rarely explains boating vocabulary for the layman so boating novices will find certain parts of the novel hard to fathom. What is "the gelcoat of the freeboard" and how does a storm wreak havoc upon it? The adventure ends with a rather spectacular scene near Libya, but the novel's overall lack of depth dulls the adventure.
This tale of adventure on the high seas is gripping at times but generally slight and rambling.

This is the law Moses set before the Israelites. Deuteronomy 4:44
The Torah portion for this week is Va'etchanan, which means "I pleaded," from Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11, and the Haftorah is from Isaiah 40:1-26.
A story is told about a rabbi who lived in Manhattan's Lower East Side in the early 1900s. Let me remind you that the Jewish people living in New York City at that time were mostly poor immigrants, many of whom had fled their homes to escape persecution in Europe. Anyhow, there was a city function that the rabbi attended and a notoriously anti-Semitic clergyman was also present. The clergyman's religion and denomination are not important for our purposes. True men of God do not hate or belittle others for no reason.
The clergyman wasted no time in speaking badly about the Jewish people. He turned to the rabbi and said, "I had a dream last night that I was in Jewish heaven." Intrigued, the rabbi asked, "And what is it like in Jewish heaven?" The clergyman responded, "The streets were filled with dirty children playing in the mud. The women were haggling with fish vendors and beggars tried to interrupt, asking for handouts. The clotheslines stretched across the roads, dripping and adding to the mess below. And of course, rabbis were seen running around with large Talmudic volumes under their arms."
The rabbi thought for a moment and said, "That's funny because last night I dreamt of your heaven." To that the clergyman asked, "What's it like in my heaven?" The rabbi responded, "It is magnificent. The streets shine, the beautiful homes are exquisitely lined up in perfect symmetry, each with a small garden that has beautiful flowers and a perfectly manicured lawn." The clergyman beamed, "And tell me about the people there!" The rabbi smiled and said, "People? There were no people!"
The message of the story is that in a perfect world there couldn't possibly be any people, because human beings by their very nature are flawed. If God wanted perfection, He could have made us all angels. But God wanted people, imperfections and all, and He gave us the Bible so that we might improve upon ourselves and grow close to Him.
This theme is echoed in our reading. Just after Moses spoke about the cities of refuge for those who kill others accidentally, the Bible says, "This is the law Moses set before the Israelites." The Jewish sages note that the proximity of this verse to the laws of the accidental murderer allude to the fact that God gave the Torah to imperfect people - and He did so on purpose.
I want to encourage us all to never feel diminished by our imperfections. In fact, what makes us human is also what gives us the capacity to have a relationship with God. Life isn't perfect and neither are we - rather we are wondrous children of God becoming the best that we can be.
With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
Founder and President

In case you happen to be inclined or interested in urban fashion, there's one clothing line to behold called the Obey Clothing collection by Shepard Fairey. And once you will take a more closer look, you will promptly understand exactly what you've been missing in the distinctive style of urban fashion all this time. The Obey Giant Prints and designs are simply impressive and innovative, the style that you were envisioning intended for urban look.
The man behind these creative streaks was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1970. Normally working with an imaginative ability, he joined RISD as a student illustrator. He wasn't just artistic, nevertheless, got a zest pertaining to business and achieving his designs in existence. He swiftly outperformed and even managed to move on to his particular undertakings.
Shepard's first business was initially known as Alternate Graphics. He created posters, stickers, paper prints, t-shirts, skate boards, and many more and marketed these from his own catalogs which he circulated. His specific market progressively increased, in conjunction with his creativity. This resulted in him getting showcased in a documentary called 'Andre the Giant Has a Posse' which displayed his designs and their recognition.
Fairey Shepard subsequently journeyed via a number of various business partners who incorporated screen printing, a design and marketing organization, as well as an art and craft gallery. At present, he is the guy who owns the Obey clothing collection, which in turn is known to be a must have for those who are enthusiastic about urban style.

How to Get a Guy to Notice You at Work
In this Article:Talking to a Guy at WorkAttracting Guys at WorkDating a Guy at WorkCommunity Q&AReferences
Working with a cute guy? If you want to get him to notice you exist, learn the right way to flirt and start a budding attraction. You can learn to start conversations and build a little attraction into something more.
Part 1
Talking to a Guy at Work
1Start saying hello. Sometimes the best way to get someone to notice you is to make them. Try going up and talking to him and making your interest obvious. You don't have to have a full-on conversation at first, but just start making contact. Every time you see him, say hello, and introduce yourself if necessary.
- Remember that you're on the clock, so look for an appropriate time to talk or have a chat if you're going to have a longer conversation.[1]
- Smiling and "checking out" this guy can also help to get the message across. You don't have to be lewd, but if you're interested in a little flirting you can make it clear.
2Say his name when you talk. Everyone likes to hear their own name spoken aloud in conversation. Using someone's name a few times while you're talking is a good way to show that you're interested in the person, not just in what they're saying. Using someone's name shows that you care and want to dig deeper.
- Don't overdo it. Every sentence doesn't need to end with his first name.
3Talk about things other than work. It can be hard to strike up work conversations sometimes, because it's the one thing you're positive you've got in common. If you want to get a guy to notice you, though, it's a good idea to try to figure out some subject that you can both talk about, completely outside the world of your job. This can bring coworkers really close together and can be a great way to make a friend.
- Look for clues. If your coworker is wearing a shirt from a band you like, or drives a car that you've always had an eye on, that is a perfect opportunity to strike up some conversation. Comment by saying, 'Wow! Great shirt. I saw them at such and such festival last year" or "I'm so jealous! That's my dream car."
4Be inquisitive. Want to find out what you have in common with this guy? Ask. The easiest way to get someone to open up is by putting the ball in their court and asking them questions to get to know them better. If you like this guy, show an honest interest in his life and find out more about him by asking.
- "What's your favorite thing to do on the weekends?"
- "Where did you work before this?"
- "Where are you from originally?"
- "Where do you go to school?"
- "Who's your favorite Beatle?"
5Compliment him. Compliments are another great way to strike up conversation. It can be as simple as liking the color of their shoes or noticing that they got a haircut. People, not matter who they are talking to, love a sincere compliment.
- You can also comment on something that they are wearing, music they are listening to, the car they drive, or anything else.
- Just make sure it's sincere. Over-doing it on the compliments can make you seen inauthentic and fake.
6Be yourself. It may be a cliché, but that's because it works. The more you try to be someone you think that person will notice, the less confident you will be. If you try to guess what you think he may or may not like, you are relying entirely on his approval for you to be "good enough." You don't have to be someone you're not.
7Give it time. You don't need to attract this guy in the first couple hours of the day. Remember that you're going to be seeing a lot of each other, probably every day, and you can give this budding flirtatious relationship plenty of time to develop. You've got time on your side.
- Some guys won't take the hint at first, either. At work, some guys are pretty focused on doing their work. Likewise, some guys might not be into side conversations at work, and might seem uninterested. This doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't like you, just that he's trying to focus on his work so he can finish for the day and go home.
Part 2
Attracting Guys at Work
1Make sure this person is not already in a relationship. You may think it's exciting to be the work fling, but this almost never works out for you in the long run, and can cause a lot of pain and frustration. Starting a relationship with cheating makes it difficult. Not to mention that you would be working hard for nothing, if they are happily taken.
- It's also important to make sure it would be appropriate to flirt with this guy. Both superiors and subordinate employees can cause conflicts if you attempt to start a flirtatious relationship. Even coworkers can get a little awkward if things go sour.
- If you don't know, just ask. "Do you have a partner?" isn't an awkward question. It's the kind of thing people talk about at work.
2Dress in ways that make you feel comfortable. Your most attractive traits are always emphasized by confidence. You don't need to look any particular way at work to attract a certain guy, and it's important to focus on your own comfort and style. Always keep in mind the dress code at your job and keep it professional.
- Emphasize your natural beauty. Instead of trying to fit a mold you think this guy would like, amp up the goods that you already have. Looking nice will definitely help. If you have your own style, flaunt it in a tasteful way. You want to catch his eye, but a major turn-off is being explicit. It's a fine line.
3Touch his arm. A little physical contact can be instant and electric, increasing intimacy and making you closer. If you want to increase the attraction between you and a coworker, finding an excuse to touch a little can be a great way to pull him in. Just touch his shoulder when he makes a joke, or give him a hug when you're leaving for the day.
- Remember you are in the work place, so keep it PG. There is little wrong with a brush of the arm or a touch of the shoulder, but keep anything else for after work.
- If he's not into it, don't go grabbing someone. Only reach out if you get a positive vibe back. Never approach someone unsolicited.
4try to find a way to work together on something. Offer to help him with something that is not necessarily in your job title. This can be a great way to show that you are a nice and caring person, and is also an excuse to spend more time with him. In the same sense, you can ask him to help you with something as well.
- Never use your position to manipulate things, or promote someone who doesn't deserve it. This will hurt your credibility in the workplace.
- Make sure you stay focused on your work as well. Don't work together if it's going to affect your productivity.
5Talk one-on-one at after work events. The best time to get to know someone at work? After work. Typically, you'll only get a little bit of time during breaks to make jokes, or will only have a few chances to actually work together. Most of the time you'll just be working. If you want to get to know someone a little better and get him to notice you, do it after work.
- Invite a group of people to get a drink after work, or to grab a bite to eat somewhere. Invite this guy specifically, and get a chance to talk.
- If you have work-related holiday parties, or other after-work functions, see if you can ride together, or just make a point of hanging out at those parties.
Part 3
Dating a Guy at Work
1Find out about your employer's code of conduct. At some workplaces, it's not appropriate to date coworkers. If it is permitted, it's often required that your relationship be declared to the HR department, so the two of you will be separated for the most part while you work.
- If your relationship would be controversial or problematic at work, you've got the option of deciding to go forward with it anyway and avoid telling anyone. This can be very difficult to actually pull off nowadays, especially with Facebook and other social media. It's always better to come clean and deal with the consequences.[2]
2Decide whether or not you'll tell your coworkers. Even if your relationship is permitted, it can be awkward for your coworkers to know that you're in a relationship with someone else that you work with. If you want to let your coworkers know, it's a good idea to tell them as soon as possible after you've started seeing someone at work.
3Keep it professional. When you're at work, focus on your work. When you have time off, then you can spend your time dating this guy. Make sure you don't spend time at work sneaking into the broom closet, and your relationship will be better for it. Don't let your relationship or your job suffer because of this relationship.
4Don't bring your work home with you. It can be tough to be in a relationship with someone you work with, because you've got no time apart. You see each other in the evenings, and during the day at work. Make a point of spending some of your time apart, devoting plenty of time to your individual friends, instead of spending all your time together.[3]
- Seeing each other at work and taking a lunch break at the same time doesn't constitute a "date." It's important to make time for each other outside the world of work.
5Talk about what will happen if you break up. One of the most awkward things that can happen is to go through a break-up with someone that you'll have to continue seeing every day at work. If you try to date someone at work, talk about what will happen when and if you do decide to break up. Would one of you switch jobs? Would you be able to keep things civil? Have an honest and open conversation. Talk about it like the professionals you are.

NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ - A partial power failure at Allen W. Roberts Elementary School has forced postponement of all afterschool activities on Tuesday afternoon.
Dismissal remained at its usual time at the New Providence school, however, if power is not restored, a further announcement about the status of school on Wednesday will be forthcoming.
Temperatures in the region have stayed mired below 10 degrees throughout the day on Tuesday, and, although slight moderation in the temperature is expected on Wednesday, temperatures that are not expected to exceed the low 20s would be too cold for the school to be open without the heating system working.
Allen W. Roberts, and all schools in the district, were closed on Friday after approximately 6 inches of snow fell in the borough.

After unexpectedly getting off work earlier than anticipated yesterday, I went to see Dial M for Murder- one of the few Hitchcock movies I haven't seen. Yay! It was cheesier and more hysterical than I ever anticipated. And the thrilling movie had many lessons to teach me. As a young person there is much I apparently never knew about life and I will share it with the rest of you.

PLAGIARIZERS BEWARE!!!Tuesday, October 7, 2008 Posted by Erica at 4:58 PM | Labels: Books
Ok- for reals. For MONTHS now I have had like 3 or 4 hits a day on my review of A Thousand Splendid Suns. I would have absolutely no problem with sharing my point of view and throwing my opinion out into the wide wide world of electronic data.....EXCEPT - out of three or four hits a day, maybe one search is the title of the book and the other three are "A Thousand Splendid Suns Book Report". CHEAP! People, I fully understand researching a topic and getting stuff to talk about for papers. I have spent more than my share of time in school, but seriously. I never googled the words "Book Report".
I seriously feel like looking up some universities and sending them my blog just to screw you all over. Be original cretins. And FYI- my thoughts aren't that original I am sure. Probably everyone who read the book thought the same thing. AND my research numbers alone prove that you are all turning in the same thing. How 'bout them apples?
Go read the flipping book. It was good. You probably know that from reading my just-for-fun report. If knowledge is power, reading is an arsenal in your hands. But use your arsenal for peace. That is another lesson from the book. That is all.

Swasan FF – LOVE IS IN THE AIR Episode 24
Swasan FF – LOVE IS IN THE AIR Episode 24
Previous epi link:
Recap: Flashback of Swaragini& Shijith.
This time swara gets little scared by Shijith's confrontation. She thought to warn Ragini about him but she couldn't do it in their baadi because of their grandma's rivalry. So thought to inform her in the college.
Next day, Swara reached college and searched for Ragini, she saw her going on the next corridor and tries to follow her. But she was stopped by someone who was talking/praising her about her guts when she pushed Shijith down yesterday. She did not concentrate on him and tries go away but that guy did not give way to her. Purposely he is blocking her in going towards Ragini. Swara finds it suspiciously and tries to push him but he hold her right hand, she is shocked by this and looks angrily at him but without thinking more, she slapped him by her left hand and pushed him down.
Swara ran towards the way Ragini went and does not find her where she went. She saw them and asked them about Ragini. They pointed her towards library hall. Swara runs towards library and finds it locked. She did not understand what is happening and searches for Ragini here and there. She starts shouting by calling "Ragini..Ragini… Were are you?"
Inside the library Ragini is in the corner of the room and hears her voice and cries silently. Her mouth is shut by Shijith and he threatens her not to shout. Ragini saw Swara through the window and prays that she should see her. Ragini is trying to free her from his grip but he is not letting it to happen.
Outside the library, Swara is in rage to find Ragini at any cost she was running here and there. But she did not notice the window and starts going from there. Ragini cries hardly and looks at Shijith in a pleading way. He warns her not to shout and takes his hands from her mouth.
He moves close to her and tries to touch her. Ragini shoved him away and starts running in the library. He also runs behind her and grabbed her hand and pulls her to him and says, 'You have to pay for what she did to me on the event day. Till now no one dare to talk infront of me but she pushed me down. Everyone were laughing at me. She insulted me on saving you from me right. Now i will see who will save you from me. Now she will also suffer by seeing you and she will remember what wrong she did." By saying this he grabs her and tries to be close to her.
Ragini with her full strength pushed him away and shouts "SWARAAAAA". Swara who was going away from library heard this sound and runs back to the library and starts knocking the door. She saw the window open and goes near. She saw Ragini struggling to get free from shijith. She runs to the door and started banging it. She shouts for help. She got a wooden stick there and trying to open the door with that. Somehow she breaks it and runs inside. She starts pulling shijith from ragini and in that try ragini shoved away by him and she got hit in the table. She becomes unconscious. Swara tries to go near her but Shijith caught her and twisted her hands back so that she cannot move. Shijith, "Swara, i thought of spoiling Ragini but see the fate, you came urself in the nest. Hmm not bad, you are also beautiful like her and not less than her dear." By saying this he rolled over his hands on her shoulder. Swara feels disgusting and tries her level best to push him away.
Outside the library everyone hears this screams and started running towards library. At the same time, Swara collects all her strength and push him back, he loses his grip and swara gets free from him and moves front. She turns to him, bends down and removes her slipper. Shijith loses his balance little and managed to stand again, but before he composed himself completely, Swara starts beating him with her slipper left and right. Exactly at the same time, all the staffs and students came to library and saw swara beating him with her slipper. Shijith lost his balance completely and fell down.
Everyone is shell shocked and becomes statue seeing what happened. Principal came infront and asks her what happened. Swara saw ragini and runs to her. Princi saw three of them and understood what happened. he asks everyone to disperse and calls them to his room.
Swara tells princi everything what has happened till now. Princi started scolding Shijith and dismissed him from the college. And moreover he asks swara to file a police complaint against him. Swara did as he said and after some time police also came there and did their initial enquiry. Everyone is witnessed opposite to Shijith and does not know what to do now. He signs his friends to call his dad. Police did the enquiry with Swara and Ragini and gets the statement from them also. Since it was very late he allows them to go to their home. Once they left Shijith's parents came to the college and shocked hearing what Shijith did. He bows his head down and tries to convince police and principal. Finally they convinced and gets a statement from his dad that Shijith should not disturb Swara and Ragini from now on, if something is happened then shijith is the person to get arrested. Police gives a serious warning to him. His dad agrees on this and makes shijith to sign on the statement.
Next day, Police goes to Baadi and informs them everything and tells Swara to get her complaint back. She thinks for a while and due to everyone's force, she taken back the complaint. Due to this Shijith's parents decided to send him abroad for sometime to get a change for him. He too agrees it and went to abroad to do higher studies.
Flashback ends.
Shijith opens his eyes, his eyes are red and full of rage. He says to himself, "Still something is leftover Swara. I will not leave you easily" and stares angrily.
@Raglak room,
Sanlak looks shocked and stares swaragini. Sisters looks each other and holds their hands tightly by seeing sanlak.
Precap: Swara gets a message from Shijith to meet him at 10 PM. Swara is shocked seeing this and she looks on.
Hope you all like this episode. Give me your comments on this. And i will try to give my best to yu all. Thank you again for the support.

Kumar Dharmasena reselected for ICC umpiring panel for 2016/17 season
By Janaka Alahapperuma
June 11, 2016
The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the reappointment of Sri Lankan umpire Kumar Dharmasena for Emirates Elite Panel of ICC umpires for 2016/17 season following the annual review and selection process on 08 June.
The decision was made by the ICC Umpires Selection Panel consisting of Chairman and ICC General Manager – Cricket, Geoff Allardice, former Sri Lankan captain and ICC Chief Match Referee Ranjan Madugalle, ex-England player, coach, umpire and now a commentator - David Lloyd, and former India captain and international umpire Srinivas Venkataraghavan. Following the ICC Umpires Selection Panel's annual review and selection process, ICC has announced an unchanged ICC Umpiring Panel for the 2016-17 season.
The Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Umpires for 2016-2017 will be: Aleem Dar, Kumar Dharmasena, Marais Erasmus, Chris Gaffaney, Ian Gould, Richard Illingworth, Richard Kettleborough, Nigel Llong, Bruce Oxenford, Sundaram Ravi, Paul Reiffel and Rod Tucker.
The game's top umpires displayed their skills to an impressive degree in 2015-2016 by achieving a correct-decision percentage of 95.6 per cent in 220 matches across the three formats of Tests, One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals.
This is not only an improvement on 2014-2015 figures of 94 per cent, but is the highest since the Decision Review System was introduced in cricket in 2008.
Confirming the elite panel for the 2016-2017 season, ICC Umpires Selection Panel Chairman, Geoff Allardice, said: "The elite panel has had an outstanding 12 months. Based on the individual performances of each umpire, as well as their ability to work together as a group, the selectors have decided that the same 12 umpires deserve to be rewarded with appointment to the elite panel for 2016-2017. "The selectors also noted the improved performances of some of the umpires on the international panel and expect them to be pushing for selection on the elite panel in years to come." Prior to umpiring, Kumar Dharmasena represented Sri Lanka in 31 Test matches and 141 ODIs and was part of Sri Lanka's 1996 ICC World Cup winning side. After retiring from international cricket in 2004, Dharmasena started to concentrate on his umpiring career. He made his international debut as an umpire in 2009, joined the Emirates Elite Panel of Umpires in 2011. In 2013 Former Sri Lankan Cricket star nominated for the David Shepherd Trophy for ICC Umpire of the Year award and won the ICC Umpire of the Year 2012 award at the LG ICC Awards ceremony.

It's been a really busy week, and although I didn't take pictures every day, here are some from the past week.
One part of Spring that I love is strawberries!
Starbucks was giving these away with the purchase of a drink. Aren't they cute? My co-worker picked it up for me and surprised me with it. Thanks Renee!
Friday, March 11, 2011. What a horrific day for Japan. (This of course isn't my picture, but I had to document this day.)
The St. Patrick's Day Parade in Roanoke, VA. After a week of cold, rainy days, Spring showed up for the parade. It was a gorgeous day.
Excuse the bad picture, it was with my phone. My cat, Stinkerwhistle (yeah…strange name, long story) asleep in my son's arms. So sweet.

The police is your friend – words of the past, it seems. Today, the police are more about terrorising, bullying and killing for no reason. That Nigerian policemen are out of control is like saying 'Ijebu garri' is sour. Some believe that there are still good policemen out there, and I used to admit that quite often, but never again. Well, maybe there are still good policemen out there, doing their job of protecting and serving their pockets every day. The biggest problem is, no one is doing anything about it, even the government.
Hardly a day passes by without stories of a police officer shooting a 'danfo' driver because of N50, police terrorising people on the street and asking for receipts for everything, even for the Agege bread in your bag, pulling off people's vehicle plate numbers for whatever accusations they could conjure up. The crazy thing is that they always try to justify their senseless actions. A prime example of how the police are out of control is how they quickly jump into your car even before you disobey traffic regulations. They don't even wait for you to beat the traffic light; they are already inside your car, seated with the seatbelt on, like you guys are going on a planned vacation.
There was a particular case when I asked the police officer why he was inside my car and he replied, "Am I inside your car?" For once I thought the policeman had gone bunkers. The lying scum didn't even know what he was saying. All he was thinking about was the money he was demanding from me. How many innocent Nigerians have been injured or killed for no reason at the hands of the police?
If you are living in Lagos and you haven't had issues with a police officer, then there must be something wrong with you. And if you don't think we have a problem with the police in this great nation of ours, you need to check yourself properly. The police have seemingly abandoned the ideal of protecting and serving for beating the shit out of you, killing, lying and so on. Maybe their new motto ought to be, "protecting and serving the shit out of you."
Solving the police misconduct problem is simple. Many of these people are power-hungry individuals who get off on having too much power, which leads into them abusing the powers they get when they become police officers. Simply weed out these people in the recruiting process. Don't just tell us you do it, do it actually.
And if the Police Force is already doing it, step it up a bit – it's obviously not working very well. Oh, and if they get past all of that, when they do something completely out of line, don't let them come back to the job.
Second, there should be real accountability. In a lot of these lawsuits against the police, guess who ends up paying the price for them? The taxpayers. I guarantee there would be a lot less police misconduct if police officers have to face real consequences and have to pay large fines.
Someone needs to police the police. Chances are you may think having another government organisation watch over them is a wonderful idea. WRONG! Having government watch over government has obvious issues. The people need to keep an eye on the police, and let their superiors know about misconduct. Got video of police misconduct? Post it. Share it with the world.
Do whatever possible to get the word out about your experience with police misconduct. Video evidence is key to exposing police misconduct. Let the government know, because we still have some power in government, but we have to utilise it! Yes, I know this already occurs, but it needs to happen on a much larger scale. Most of us don't have the time to do it, but we need to make the time to do it. The police work for the people in the end, so maybe it's time the people kept a closer eye on them, instead of brushing off stories of police misconduct. Hey, but before you bring out your camera phone to take a picture or make a video, make sure the police isn't aware because if you are taking a selfie around Nigerian police officers, they become apprehensive and demand to see what you are doing with your phone or camera as the case may be.
Third, STOP GIVING THEM MORE POWER! Giving an out-of-control system more power has so much potential to be a disaster. Yes, in rare cases it could help, but most of these weapons don't belong in the hands of the police, especially when they are on the street and not on any official duty. You see a police officer walk into a beer parlor to booze with his gun cocked and ready to shoot. Most of the police weapons we see these days are made for war, they don't belong on the streets. A visitor coming into the country would think we are at war because there are too many drunk police officers carrying guns about.
Here's a statistic that should get you thinking: Hundreds of soldiers have been killed in the war against Boko Haram. The number of innocent Nigerians killed by policemen yearly is in the thousands. Oh, the terrorists that the government is always telling us are so dangerous have killed fewer people than the police? Let's get this straight. You are more likely to be killed by a police officer than terrorists in Nigeria. The number of people killed in the Biafra war is lower than the number killed by the police in the last decade. Sounds like something might be wrong yet?
The way I see things, we have a huge problem. The Police are out of control, they do what they want and get away with too much. A uniform and a gun seem to give them way too much power. Things must "CHANGE!" Some may disagree with me, criticise me for my views, but what I discussed above is the way I see things. My solutions may not completely solve the problem, but I believe they could create a huge dent in the problem. It would be a huge step in the right direction. What has happened to " the police is your friend?"

The team with the most potent offense lost yesterday's Old Mill-South River boys soccer matchup.
The host Patriots (ranked 20th in themetro area) outshot the 16th-ranked Seahawks, 43-22, and held a 7-2 corner-kick advantage.
The quantity of shots taken would please just about any coach. But it was the quality of shots that made Old Mill coach Don Hobbs continually grimace in frustration.
South River, the defending 3A Region IV champs, stunned the Patriots with two first-half goals in the space of 10 minutes, then held their opponents at bay to capture a 2-0win.

I remember reading a thread back in the day about a trader who was long the SPY's in 2001 when the Fed cut interest rates and it wasn't even a fed day. He landed out losing over 1,000,000 Having said that, even if your strategy is solid, how do you protect against such an event?
