Black Friday weekend sales may have been down a disappointing 2.9 percent this year, according to a survey from the National Retail Federation — but Black Friday shopping fights were booming, at least on social media.
Thanks to fresh new video-sharing via Instagram and Vine, not to mention good ol' YouTube, those of us who abstained from turkey-stuffed bargain hunting got to see such hypnotizing scenes as a three-way hair-pulling fight at a Wal-Mart customer service desk. We saw punches thrown over discount DVD players, a display case collapsing under customer siege, and cops tackling and cuffing the most aggressive bargain hunters. We heard a beleaguered clerk-turned-drill sergeant command checkout lines to "Move to the right! MOVE TO THE RIGHT!" And a woman claiming "heart problems" as she admonishes a fellow customer, "You pushin' people like you crazy!"
Those of us relying on smartphone-equipped citizen shoppers to share such scenes of retail carnage clucked our tongues on Facebook and Twitter and lamented for humanity, as if bad behavior is new and we didn't enjoy feeling superior. We shrugged off the classist subtext that makes us laugh at photo-mocking website People Of Wal-Mart, maybe telling ourselves it's OK to laugh at Twitter-trending #WalmartFights because we're laughing at the embattled corporation, not the humans who work and shop there. Or maybe we were just reminded that the human condition is frickin' hilarious.
Bad behavior — on both the shoppers' part and the part of those who enjoy social media schadenfreude — is nothing new, especially when it comes to this annual family pastime. Black Friday has always been a blood sport, but social media gives it a wider audience.
"Nothing says pre-Christmas Wal-Mart shopping like being handcuffed on top of the flatscreen television that you were fighting over," Gawker commenter "Alexander Corouton-Skitch," observed under one of the Internet's many #WalmartFights compilations (thoughtfully including a .gif of the titular scene). And hey, he's got a point.
"Certainly, social media has brought [Black Friday behavior] to our attention," said Amy Kilgard, a communication studies professor at the San Francisco University. Kilgard, whose own performance art and research focuses on consumerism, knows a thing or two about Black Fridays, having experienced her fair share as a Target clerk. "These are the kind of fights people have at big-box stores, going back years and years to Cabbage Patch dolls," aka the Tickle Me Elmo of the 1980s.
For all the hype around the hashtag, Wal-Mart reports a record low in Black Friday incidents. "The hashtag perpetuated itself," Wal-Mart spokesperson Brooke Buchanan told NBC News. The impression that each and every store contained some sort of Black Friday melee ran contrary to the "record drop" in this year's reported Black Friday "incidents,"— less than 10 kerfuffles required police intervention, Buchanan said. "With 22 million people coming through our doors and with over 4,000 locations, we're really proud of our team and the safety plan we executed very well."
To prevent the rush on limited deals, Wal-Mart distributed wrist bands allowing in shoppers between certain hours, which reserved limited-time bargains, and spread out popular electronics in areas that don't get a lot of Black Friday traffic, like the freezer section.
But Black Friday stopped being about bargains a long time ago — sales take place year-round, you can bargain-hunt on the Internet even if it isn't #Cybermonday and have your giant flat-screen delivered directly to your home. But retailer hype and subsequent media coverage have made Black Friday shopping an event bargain hunters won't miss even if Amazon really does start delivering by drone.
"It's like the Super Bowl," says Thomas G. Plante, a psychiatry professor at Santa Clara University and Stanford University. "Whether you like football or not, this is what you're supposed to do — eat party foods and watch TV even if you don't care about the game," explains Plante, who recently wrote about "The Absurdity of Black Friday," in his Psychology Today column.
Yup, agrees Laura Portwood-Stacer, assistant professor of media, culture, and communication at New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development. Black Friday shopping "has become a cultural ritual," she told NBC News. "People do it with their families. They talk about it with fellow consumers. Consumerism is the basis of our culture; it's how we relate to other people."
These days, you can participate in this cultural ritual from the comfort of your smartphone. As for the amateur videographers recording the kerfuffle for social media so that we may pass judgment from a safe distance, yes, they have their own motivations, too.
"Social media is as much about information and communication as it is about performance and identity," Portwood-Stacer said. "So people are really saying something about themselves when they post videos, 'Maybe I go out for Black Friday but I'm not as bad as those people.'"

Wise advice about nerves … from the Doctor:
'Let me tell you about scared.
Your heart is beating so hard, I can feel it through your hands.
There's so much blood and oxygen pumping through your brain … it's like rocket fuel.
Right now you could run faster, and you could fight harder, you can jump higher than ever in your life and you are so alert it's like you can slow down time.
What's wrong with scared?
Scared is a super power – it's your super power. There is danger in this room, and guess what – it's you.
Do you feel it … ?'
The Doctor [Steven Moffat]
It may be the slow-build dread that I'm not ready, I can't do it, they won't like it that takes over every waking thought and sleepless night for weeks and months before the first night.
It may be the thumping heart, sick feeling and inability to think, let alone speak as you stand in the wings staring at the dark-surrounded pool of light that in a few seconds will contain you.
Wherever it gets you, actors live with nerves. Every day in rehearsal, every first night, every performance, every time we face a camera, a microphone or a sea of faces, the nerves kick in. And we have to deal with them, or we can't function.
It's natural to be nervous. For our ancestors, all those eyes could only mean one thing – imminent attack. We put ourselves into that state of being stared at as actors, and our ancient instincts tell us we're in
danger. Instinctive reactions kick in with that shot of adrenaline that gives us the power we need to run, fight, kill something, and we have to turn that into the energy we need to power a performance. You can't get
rid of nerves – but you can take control of them and what they do to you and for you.
Think positive
How you think affects how you feel. Start thinking 'I'm really excited ' instead of 'I'm so nervous', 'I'm rehearsed and ready,' instead of 'I'm not ready', and remember you've been cast because you're right for the role.
Think inspirations
You're there to inspire them with your performance, so you need to inspire yourself first. Keep inspirational photos and quotations, great reviews and positive feedback in your phone to look at when you're feeling unsure.
Think preparation
All performances are about the audience. The camera and the mic are an audience, too. Without them, it's only a rehearsal.
Learn it. No excuses – you'll feel better if you know it inside out – and so will the audience.
Think rehearsal
Rehearse out loud, on your feet and with any props you'll be using.
Think drink
No alcohol! You may think you'll perform better after a drink, but no – you won't. Coffee and sugar can give you the shakes, and milky drinks can affect your voice. So keep it simple with plenty of water instead, plus a good night's sleep and some breakfast for energy and calm.
Think early
Go in early and practice – pay attention in the tech rehearsal and generally get the feel and the sound of
the room by trying out a bit of your part. Familiarity builds confidence.
Think breathing
Go back to all that voice training – the same principles will help you master nerves. Controlling your breathing will help you feel calm, slow you down if you tend to gabble, and give you the energy you need to speak. Relax your shoulders, stand up comfortably straight and breathe slowly and deeply from your diaphragm, at the base of your ribcage.
Yes, you'll feel nervous while you're waiting and as you start, but it will get better once you get going. All this preparation will help you feel more confident and improve your performance.

Cultural Experience | New York City
How to be a Proper Theatregoer… on a student budget
By Miranda Siwak of Elon University 02/01/16
See some of the most incredible productions around the world without breaking the bank
From living in Manhattan and London, they're home to some of the greatest performances in the world, and well-known as such. However, as a college student, many of us don't have the extensive budget to see such incredible productions. I'm here to let you in on a few secrets to seeing some of the most magnificent global theatre without breaking the bank.
New York City
1. TodayTix app
During my summer living in Manhattan, I first discovered the handy smartphone app as means to help find cheaper alternatives to seeing some of the greatest shows on and off Broadway, plays and musicals alike. The app compiles ticket information for up to two days in advance, and you can choose your preferred seating section (each has an approximate value predetermined). Now, as a college student, my funds were limited, so I opted for the cheapest options (nothing was more than $30.) All of the seats I saw through the app provided me with a seat overlooking the entire stage, just towards the top in the upper balcony.
2. Rush
With better price options than online apps or the TKTS booth, rush [student rush] lines sell unsold tickets at a lower price on the morning of the show. These are most likely cash-only. Most box offices open around 10 a.m., so I'd advise arriving to the theatre around 7 a.m. because the lines can get long! Over Fourth of July weekend, I went to rush "Finding Neverland" for $35, and I arrived at 7 a.m. and was first in line, that ended up wrapping around the street corner by 8:30, and there weren't enough tickets to accommodate everyone waiting. Luckily, I, and about fifteen others were able to purchase the $35 seats; mine in the front row, which is classified as "restricted view," but you can still see everything. Don't let "restricted" or "partial view deter you; you can still see mostly everything, a few moments or sets in their back of the stage might be difficult, but mostly everything is visible.
3. Lottery
Many shows do not offer rush tickets, but rather a lottery drawing for a predetermined amount of seats. Currently, the most famous one is the Hamilton #Ham4Ham lottery (where even if you don't win, you'll still walk away with a memory of an exclusive cast performance). Basically, crowds come out for the slightest chance to purchase one to two cheaper tickets to that matinee's or evening's show. Don't be discouraged: it is possible to win: I won the Aladdin one, one friend won at Matilda and a work colleague won the $10 Hamilton lottery. These are most likely cash-only. Also, some shows like Matilda and Kinky Boots, offer digital lotteries, through their one website or TodayTix.
4. Standing Room
Often purchased in similar ways to either rush or lottery, some theaters offer what they call SRO (Standing Room Only) tickets, but these are only available when all other seats sold out or instead of rush or lottery. Examples include "Fun Home," (rush) "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" (before its closing) and "Hamilton" (lottery). I know it doesn't seem ideal to be standing for two hours in the back of the theater, but patrons do not seem to mind– think of it as what could be your only means to see the show? It becomes worth it. These are most likely cash-only.
5. TKTS Booth
Perhaps the most famous option for discount tickets is the red TKTS booth. With good seats at half-price the day-of, you can find good deals here, however, I'd head to the booth at the South Street Seaport— it's way less crowded (and known) than the Times Square line that moves very slowly.
6. Student Discounts
Several theaters or theater companies have student priced tickets or programs such as HipTix or LincTix, where they offer special deals for students to see shows. Other theaters might offer student pricing for specific shows.
Still confused about each specific show offers in regards to ticket deals? Check out broadwayforbrokepeople.com for a comprehensive list of all the current shows and how to get the best deals. New York City has some of the greatest theater in the world, trust me, you don't want to miss out.
In addition to TodayTix and TKTS in London, there's also:
1. Day-of seats. Day-of seats are the British equivalent of rush seats. Basically, all you need to do is arrive at outside the theatre (around 8 a.m. often works best for optimal positions.) The theatre holds a select number of open seats (in somewhat restricted views or unsold seats), and the morning of the show (evening or matinee performance), they'll allow a small amount of people to purchase one-to-two tickets for a more-discounted rate, using either a credit card or cash to pay. For example, I saw the recent London revival of Miss Saigon for 20 pounds in the front row and Matilda has five-pound student rush tickets, both of which were great views of the entire stage to incredible productions.
2. London has several, free opportunities to see several radio, television and film exclusive events. BBC and ITV factual (reality, competition) shows on TV and radio offer digital lotteries for free tickets. The BBC offers seating available for every radio program and most live TV events. I have friends that took the BBC tour one day, and were then pulled to serve as the live studio audience for The One Show. There's also applausestore.com which offers a lottery of tickets for a variety of shows, however, those odds are less since many more people enter.
Theatre provides such a unique cultural perspective that enhances trips as a tourist or the local perspective, that even as a student, you should definitely partake in during your travels.

Wilmington writer John Jeremiah Sullivan has received the 2015 Windham-Campbell Literature Prize for nonfiction, spokesmen for Yale University announced Wednesday (Feb. 25). The award comes with an unrestricted grant of $150,000.
Sullivan, a Kentucky native who has lived in the area for more than a decade, was cited for his volume of work, including his 2004 book "Blood Horses" and his 2011 essay collection "Pulphead." His articles have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Harpers, GQ and other national publications.
"I couldn't overstate how encouraging this award is, or how practically helpful," Sullivan said in a prepared statement.
First presented in 2013, the Windham-Campbell prizes honor up to nine writers in fiction, non-fiction and drama. Funding comes from the estate of the novelist Donald Windham, who died in 2010, and the prizes are named for Windham and for Sandy Campbell, his companion of 45 years.
The prizes are administered by the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. Winners are determined by a global group of invited nominators, a jury in each category and a selection committee.
"It's also a very genuine (and obvious) honor to be associated in any way with the Beinecke," Sullivan said. "In fact there's a book at the library I need to look at for a project. It's a journal kept by Jonathan Edwards in 1744."
Sullivan is a contributing editor of The New York Times Magazine and Southern editor of The Paris Review. He was previously a winner of two National Magazine Awards, a Whiting Writers' Award and a Pushcart Prize.
Other 2015 Windham-Campbell prize winners are: in fiction: Teju Cole, Helon Habila and Ivan Vladislavić; in nonfiction: Edmund de Waal and Geoff Dyer and, in drama: Jackie Sibblies Drury, Helen Edmundson and Debbie Tucker Green.

Meaning of Convertible Debentures
Convertible debentures can be term as debt security or loan that can be converted into equity shares after a stipulated period. The conversion of debentures into equity shares is at the option of the holder. However, in special circumstances, the issuer holds such conversion rights.
About Convertible Debentures
Business firms issue convertible debentures to avail tax benefit. The company can get the advantage of tax deduction on the interest paid to the investors. This reduces the cost of capital of the company. However, at the time of conversion when a company issues additional shares, the value of the equity shareholders decline due to stock dilution. There are many types of debentures which a company can issue. Two popular types of them are:
Convertible Debentures
Debentures in which the company issues an interest-bearing loan that can be converted into equity shares after the stipulated time. The interest on these debentures is generally low. The debenture holders can opt for receiving the interest and principal amount at the time of maturity. However, if they are interested in becoming a part of the company, they can opt for converting the debentures into equity shares.
Non-Convertible Debentures
Unlike, these debentures, non-convertible debentures cannot be converted into equity shares. The interest rate on these debentures is usually high. The companies issuing non-convertible debentures have to make an arrangement with the bank by depositing a fixed amount and part of profits regularly.
The business organizations can issue debenture of any type depending on its suitability. When the firm issues convertible debentures, it has to select which type of convertible debenture it wants to issue. The following are the two types of convertible debentures:
Types of Convertible Debentures
Fully Convertible Debentures
Fully Convertible Debentures are those debentures in which the whole value of debentures is convertible into equity shares of the company. The holder of this debentures gets equity shares of the company in the ratio determined by the company at the time of issue.
Partly Convertible Debentures
Partly convertible debentures differ from fully convertible debentures. In partly convertible debentures, only some part of the debentures shall be eligible for conversion into equity shares. The ratio of conversion is determined at the time of issue of convertible debentures. The part of convertible debentures can be converted into equity shares only after the approval of debenture holders.
Convertible debentures are the quick and easy mode of finance for a business organization. The business can avail funds by issuing debentures and utilize it towards the growth of the business. These debentures give an opportunity to the investor to become a member of the company by converting them into equity shares at the time of maturity. The additional benefit of taxes on the convertible debentures also plays a significant role while selecting it as a source of finance for the business.1–4

Christian Initiation of Adults is a formation process for adults who are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith. Ultimately, it is the process leading adults to chooe to follow the steps of the rite to the sacrament of confirmation as a Catholic. A period of "inquiry" is the first step in the formation process. The inquiry phase provides an opportunity for people from other faith traditions to ask questions about what it means to be a member of the Catholic Church. It is a time for people to consider how the Catholic faith can renew and strengthen their spiritual lives. RCIA begins in the fall of each year and culminates at the Easter Vigil.

Metal Forming
At Ace Precision, skilled technicians use conventional and unconventional tools to form nickel and cobalt based alloys, stainless steels, and aluminum. We design and manufacture all form tooling, which facilitates faster development times, more consistent quality, and lower costs, while our design engineers possess a wealth of experience and knowledge that provides customers with cost savings and quality improvement options.
Our in-house capabilities include twin 15" diameter hydro-form machines generating 10,000 PSI each. A maximum diameter blank size of 15" can be formed in house. Larger parts with blank diameters up to 32" can be formed by one of our close outside suppliers. Benefits of hydro-forming include: economical tooling, efficient production rates, and the ability to hold close tolerances on a variety of intricate shapes. Materials can be drawn slowly allowing the material to flow, which helps avoid cracking and tearing. Generally, our parts have two draws and an in-process anneal to set the material.
Expansion Forming
Ace Precision has seven expansion forming machines. Expansion forming produces shapes in cylindrical parts with tight radii using containments, and optimizes material utilization by minimizing drop off that other forming methods produce. This method of forming produces close tolerances in profiles, concentricity, diameters, and roundness with no tool marks.
The working envelope of expansion forming at Ace Precision is 3" to 36" diameters with heights ranging from under 1" to 36".
We maintain two roll forming machines that produce coined radii on cylindrical parts. These machines are capable of rolling material thicknesses up to .090 in aerospace alloys. Roll forming typically allows for low tooling costs, quick set up times, higher production rates and excellent part-to-part consistency.
Hydraulic Press Forming
Our hydraulic presses have maximum capacity of 300 tons and a working envelope of 36"x36"x36". Hydraulic presses are used for punching, extruding, flattening, flaring, and draw forming. These machines are outfitted with quick-change, interchangeable tooling that facilitates reduced set up times and improves machine utilization and efficiency.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'tan' tag.
I was in a desperate place last week. I was about to turn 40. We were having a party to celebrate. I was still in the process of losing weight from my pregnancy. It was going to be warm out after months of cold weather, so I knew I would have to wear something that showed my legs and/or my arms.
What would any woman do in that situation? Go to the tanning salon. Duh.
All weekend, I couldn't figure out why it was hurting to nurse the baby. My nipples were so sore. Then I put it together. All of you breastfeeding mothers heed my advice: don't go to a tanning salon while you are nursing. Or, if you go to a tanning salon, put something over your nipples!

Microsoft has announced the Xbox music service, and now any users can upload the MP3s to this music service. The music collection can be uploaded to OneDrive, and there is added folder for the same. The files that are unprotected are synced back to Windows 8.1, Phone 8.1 from Windows, Xbox and Xbox 360. No charges are levied for the same, but users can upload as much as only the storage pool allows.
Spotify Vs Microsoft
If you think Spotify is better, then rethink. Spotify users need to pay a subscription of $9.99 a month, to build a library. If you own a song, you cannot upload it. For the users of integration of Xbox and the OneDrive, the different gadgets need not matter. Here 100 GB cloud storage, access to the streaming videos through the Xbox One and Xbox 360 and hassle free application are the pros of using Xbox Music.
What is in store for Windows Users
When the iPhone and Android users want to take a backup of the photos in OneDrive, they earn storage of 15GB additionally. Moreover, if you refer OneDrive to your friend to use it you will get more storage for usage. Unfortunately Xbox subscription is still left out for the iPhone and Android users.

Lliberals face a choice: Which is worse, extended sequestration or a
Grand Bargain that cuts Social Security and Medicare in exchange for new
revenues, as Obama's forthcoming budget seems designed to secure?
Greg Sargent of the Washington Post interviewed Rep. Raúl Grijalva, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. House liberal leader: Say No to the Grand Bargain:
In an interview with me today, Dem Rep. Raul Grivjalva — the co-chair
of the Congressional Progressive Caucus — told me he would vote No on
any Grand Bargain with entitlement cuts like Chained CPI for Social
Security. And he said that if we face the theoretical choice outlined
above, the sequester is the better, or least bad, option — because
ultimately the sequester could be changed under pressure from public
opinion, while entitlement cuts would be harder to undo.
"I really believe that the sequester itself would start to unravel
under public pressure," Grijalva told me. "Let's let the political and
fiscal consequences of the sequester take hold with the American public.
I'd rather count on the public changing the sequester than on cutting a
deal that exposes Social Security into the future."
Asked if he would vote against any deal containing Chained CPI,
Grijalva said: "I've made the commitment that if this is part of it, I
will not vote for it. I can't support it."
However, asked if he thought a sizable bloc of liberals would vote
No, Grijalva demurred, and — in something that will bring back bad
memories for the left — cited the health care debate as an example. "At
this point, I don't know," he said. "We've been through this before with
the public option. The motivation will be there to close ranks and
support the president."
A number of liberal groups have harshly criticized Obama
over his Chained CPI proposal. This is exactly what they should be
doing; I, too, oppose Chained CPI and see it as horrible policy.
However, it is still unclear to me how this ends, other than in a choice
between extended sequestration and a deal to avert it. This isn't to
say liberals need to make a choice right now. As Bernie Sanders has urged, we don't need to accept this frame — certainly not at this point.
But down the line, it may be a choice we do face — we should be
realistic about this possibility — and if the sequester is later seen to
be the least bad option, we'll need to spell out why this is the case.
As Grijalva has now done today.
UPDATE: Robert Reich explain Chained CPI in this video. Sign his SignOn.org petition to President Obama at http://www.signon.org/sign/mr-president-please-do-1/.
UPDATE: Cutting Social Security benefits will have no effect on the budget deficit. They are separate accounts.

2009 Porsche 911 Targa 4 & Targa 4S Photos
Posted by Anthony CarboneJuly 28, 2008 at 11:19 am
FOLLOW Instagram + Facebook + Twitter
Porsche just recently released some photos of their new Targa variant for their facelifted 997 models. As with all of the facelifted 997 models, the 2009 Porsche 911 Targa will receive the new Direct Fuel Injection engines and have its current Tiptronic S transmission replaced by Porsche's 7-speed double clutch gearbox.
The Targa has a 1.5 square meter glass sliding roof has two components: the glass sliding roof and the top tailgate. The glass roof slides beneath the tailgate in 7 seconds. The glass roof and tailgate's glass are made of specially-treated glass designed to effectively deflect and repel UV radiation to avoid excessive cabin heat.
The Targa models are only available in all-wheel drive. (ie Targa 4 or Targa 4S)
The 2009 Porsche 911 Targa 4 features a 3.6 liter 6 cylinder boxer engine yielding 345 hp. The manual transmission model takes it from 0 to 60mph in 5.2 seconds, but when equipped with the 7-speed twin clutch PDK gearbox, this time is cut down to 5.0 seconds.
The 2009 Porsche 911 Targa 4S has a 3.8 liter pumping out 385 hp and with it's manual transmission 0 to 60mph is achieved in 4.9 seconds, give it the PDK gearbox and you get 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds!
The 2009 Porsche 911 Targa 4 is priced from $145,000 and the Targa 4s will start around $165,000.

The New Great Game
In the late 1990s, some journalists used the expression "The New Great Game" to describe what they proposed was a renewed geopolitical interest in Central Asia based on the mineral wealth of the region which was becoming available to foreign interests after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
In 1997 the New York Times published an opinion piece titled The New Great Game in Asia in which was written:
While few have noticed, Central Asia has again emerged as a murky battleground among big powers engaged in an old and rough geopolitical game. Western experts believe that the largely untapped oil and natural gas riches of the Caspian Sea countries could make that region the Persian Gulf of the next century. The object of the revived game is to befriend leaders of the former Soviet republics controlling the oil, while neutralizing Russian suspicions and devising secure alternative pipeline routes to world markets.[1]
In 2004, journalist Lutz Kleveman wrote a book that linked the expression to the exploration of mineral wealth in the region.[2] While for many other people the direct American military involvement in the area was part of the "War on Terror" rather than an indirect Western governmental interest in the mineral wealth, another journalist Eric Walberg suggests in his book that access to the region's minerals and oil pipeline routes is still an important factor.[3][4]
Other authors disagree with these views. One strategic analyst has written that the Central Asian states are not pawns in any game and the so-called "New Great Game" is a misnomer that has not eventuated. Rather than two empires focused on the region as in the past, there are now many global and regional powers active with the rise of China and India as major economic powers. The emergence of Russia from a local-level player to an international-level one has seen Russia regarded as not an offensive power by the Central Asian states, which have diversified their political, economic, and security relationships.[5] Another writer stated that the "Great Game" or the "New Great Game" implies that the Central Asian states are passive pawns in the hands of more powerful states. However, their membership of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, established in 2001, shows that they have gained a degree of real independence, with China offering a degree of predictability unknown in the "Great Game".[6]
The name is a reference to the original Great Game, the term used by historians to describe the 19th century political and diplomatic competition between the British and Russian empires for territory and influence among Central Asian states. The "Great Game" as a term has been described as a cliché-metaphor,[7] and there are authors who have now written on the topics of "The Great Game" in Antarctica,[8] the world's far north,[9] and in outer space.[10]

When Caroline begins her last year of middle school, she barely recognizes her best friend. Brenda dresses differently. She blows off classes, homework and friends. But has Brenda really changed, or is Caroline just seeing her with new eyes?
Caroline has worries that Brenda doesn't even understand. Her fifteen-year-old cat, Casey, is sick and the vet has been hinting that it's time to put him to sleep. How can Caroline lose her two best friends at once.
In the next few months, Caroline learns that some friendships are not worth keeping, others are worth fighting for and still others will endure into the afterlife.
Read more about Casey and Caroline at www.kimchatel.com.
"Casey! Casey!"
She felt foolish calling him, but she was far enough from the house that no one would hear her. She walked along the river's edge toward the stone beach and was so intent on peeking under every shrub, she didn't see the river open up before her until she came right up to the beach. When she saw the pink stones under her feet, she looked up and held her breath for a moment. The stones were a mirror of the sunset sky. The river was smooth obsidian. The sun lit the willows from behind and they glowed like gold filigree.
This is truly the most beautiful place on earth, she thought, and sat on a large rock to enjoy the play of light area.
"I never should've shown you this place," said Aimee, from behind her, as she clambered onto the rock beside Caroline. She carried the same purple book which had caused the fight earlier in the week.
"Now I guess I have to share it with you," she added.
Caroline didn't say anything. She wasn't in the mood for Aimee tonight. Casey was lost. It was getting dark and she'd have to leave him outside, to fall prey to whatever the night would bring.
They watched in silence for a while as the last light faded, leaving the stone beach in shadow. Suddenly, from high up in the trees behind them, Caroline heard yelling. She tensed for a moment, thinking her mom had called, but no. The voices were an angry man and woman. They were too far away to hear the argument, but the rage was clear enough. Something shattered. The voices were quiet for a moment and then exploded again, louder than before.
"I guess I can't even escape them here," said Aimee. Caroline was about to ask who, when she noticed the strange expression on Aimee's face, embarrassment. She hadn't thought it possible to embarrass the brash Aimee Jones.
"My parents," said Aimee, with a shrug, as if it explained everything.
"Oh," said Caroline, hating herself for uttering such a stupid response. She didn't know what to say. Her parents rarely argued, and never with such vehemence. How did Aimee stand it?
The two girls sat on the stone beach, listening to the parent-storm above them. Caroline was too embarrassed to get up and leave now, as if it would make it worse somehow. Aimee, clearly, had nowhere else to go.
Eventually the storm blew itself out. Aimee still made no move to leave, despite the growing dark. Caroline's mother would be worried about her, but she couldn't make herself leave. Not without saying something.
"So how come you spell your name that way?" she asked, pointing to the notebook with "Aimee" scrawled all over it.
"It's French. My grandma's from the south. They still speak French there, or something like it." She smiled at Caroline wryly. "It means 'loved'."
Caroline smiled back at her.
"That's pretty sucky," she said. Both of them seemed to know, Caroline would never tell another soul Aimee's name meant something so mushy.
"Yep," said Aimee. "I sure feel the love."
The girls burst into nervous laughter that turned genuine.
"I think my parents were hippies," said Aimee, finally catching her breath.
"Mine still are," said Caroline. "If I have to hear one more time about the benefits of compost, I'm gonna puke."
After another moment of companionable quiet, Aimee asked, "So what are you doing out here, anyway?"
"I'm looking for my cat," said Caroline. "I haven't seen him all day. I'm worried he might be hurt."
"You know," said Aimee, "Cats often go off to hide when they're about to die. It's instinctual or something."
"Why do you always have to do that?" said Caroline, getting to her feet.
"Do what?"
"You know what!" Caroline's voice cracked, and she fought back tears.
Not in front of Aimee, she thought. Please, not it front of Aimee.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Spaz. I was telling the truth."
"It might be true, but it's really mean."
"So sue me," said Aimee.
"See what I mean," said Caroline. Anger had won out over the tears. "Every time you're nice to me for even a minute, you have
to ruin it. You're such a . . .such a . . .jerk!"
She spun to leave and her ankle turned on a stone. She went down with a thud, banging her knee and badly scraping both hands.
"Dammit!" she swore. Aimee always made her feel so awkward and small. There was nothing nice in her. No point looking for what wasn't there.
As Caroline painfully got to her feet, Aimee shushed her.
"Shush yourself," said Caroline, but Aimee waved at her curtly with one hand while she listened to the night.
A pathetic mewling came out of the bush behind them followed by a bedraggled cat.
Caroline ran toward him, ignoring the pain in her leg. Then she noticed the strange way he walked as if he were drunk. And his meow was almost strangled in his throat. He took another step and his back legs collapsed on him.
"Oh, Casey!"
She sat beside him and gently stroked him all over, looking for broken bones. He didn't hiss at her touch, so he wasn't in any pain. In fact, he purred. Caroline wondered if it was a nervous purr. He did that sometimes at the vet.
"I've got to get him home," she said. "Something's wrong."
"Wait," said Aimee, staring intently into the bushes. The night was silent. Unnaturally silent. No crickets, no frogs, no rustling leaves. A chill shook Caroline. As she bent to pick Casey up, a shadow burst out of the bushes, knocking her to the ground.
Except she'd felt nothing, even as it pushed past her. No, not past her. Through her!
Another long wraith erupted from the bushes, and then another and another until the beach was filled with the bounding shadows. They ran along the edge of the river, never touching the water.
"They're cats!" said Caroline.
Orange cats, black cats, striped, calico. Hundreds of cats.
She held onto Casey as the ghostly cats ran around them. He mewled, and Caroline bent herself over him, protecting him from the wraiths. They caterwauled with an ear-splitting howl. Caroline covered her ears but nothing could block out the piercing noise. She shut her eyes tight, but she could still feel the wind against her skin as they swirled around her.
Casey squirmed in her arms, and Caroline held on tight. The ghost cats wanted him. Deep in her heart, she knew it. They wanted to drag him off on their monstrous hunt.
They screamed and raced around the beach until Caroline thought she would go mad.
As suddenly as they'd appeared, they were gone. Caroline opened her eyes to see the last ones running on sleek soundless paws along the river's edge. They melted away, shadows into shadows.
In the silence that followed, Casey mewed loudly. One of his eyes drooped shut. Caroline had to get him home, but she couldn't move. She looked over at Aimee, who also looked frozen in place. Aimee met her eyes and shook her head.
There was nothing to say.

CFDb Interviews
Tom Whitus ~Writer/Producer/Director
Tom Whitus
Listen to the 19 minute Podcast Interview with Tom Whitus
Highlights from the Interview:
CFDb was honored to speak with Tom Whitus, writer, producer and director of the movie 'Almost Home '.
First Tom spoke with us about his background about how after his mother passed away he wanted to do more with faith based films.
He also mentioned making 'Matchmaker Mary', which I know was a film that a lot of people loved.
Inspiration behind the film, 'Almost Home':
Tom explained how his mother's passing was what inspired him to make the film 'Almost Home'. There are many scenes that are actually shot as his father's house which was an interesting fact we didn't know.
Although there is an Alzheimer's element to the film, that was more of a fear of his, rather than something he experienced in his family.
Something that we all need to be aware of is that time is short and we need to make sure our loved ones know they are loved. Tom shared more of his story and why this message is so important to him and how, as teenagers the goal is to make it difficult for our parents.
Time goes by so quickly, hopefully the teens and the youth will also take this message to heart.
Tom said, "I didn't want to be one of those people, who in my 50's, 60's, and my parents were gone and someone would say, 'Did you know your parents', and I would have to say no, not really, because I didn't spend any time with them as an adult."
Upcoming Faith Project:
Tom just finished the principle photography 'Guided by the Word', which is a road trip picture about forgiveness and loss. Possibly in the Spring, 2016 they'll start screening the film for a few distributors.

If you've got money burning a hole in your pocket and a hankering for the world's most expensive Christmas pudding, you're in luck. Pastry chef Martin Chiffers created deliciously expensive holiday dessert, available for just about $38,000.
The pudding itself has yet to be made, but since it's a costly item, it will be made to suit any dietary specifications of the buyer. The pudding will serve about 12 people and comes with two other items that will really wow dinner guests. The first is a bottle of Duret 1810 Cognac, which itself is worth over $17,000. As well, 10 silver threepences will be included, since it's tradition to place a threepence inside a Christmas pudding to bring prosperity for the coming year.
If someone is to order this very expensive Christmas pudding, a donation of about $400 will be made to The Prince's Trust.

ContraPet - Petition and Activism Landing Page LandingPagesReviewed by Fxtheme
|Rating :
|8.9/10 .
ContraPet is a HTML5 & CSS3 activism landing page template. It's perfect for political, social, environmental or economic concerns where the goal is to get as many people as possible to sign a petition. Therefore ContraPet combines a petition with the simplicity and target-oriented structure of a landing page where the main focus is on conversion.
The template features a jQuery powered slider where you can put any HTML content in – i.e. your agenda or a video about your concern. It also features a character limit indicator in a comment textfield. The theme is based on the 960 Grid system for easy and quick layout customization. It's completely tableless and sports a well organized and layered Photoshop PSD that contains the whole layout, making it easy to alter the design.

Editor's note: The following is an interview with distinguished British statistician David Spiegelhalter originally published at The Browser.
Every statistic is the result of someone's work, and we'd do well to ask ourselves why it was created. That way, says the statistician, we have a better chance of working out when dangers are being overstated and data misused.
What do you mean by "risk literacy" and why do you think it is so important for people to have it? I am a statistician and I know that people find probability and statistics quite difficult to understand, and not intuitive. And after years and years of careful research I have finally concluded that it is because probability and statistics really are difficult to understand and unintuitive. I think knowing something about how chance works in the world is a basic skill that people should have, along with reading, writing and basic numeracy. Otherwise you can be subject to all sorts of manipulations, and that will come out in some of my book choices.
Let's have a look. First up is The Drunkard's Walk by Leonard Mlodinow, which looks at how the mathematical laws of randomness affect our lives. This is a general introduction to the history of probability and the way it comes into everyday life. It intersperses the historical development with modern applications, and looks at finance, sport, gambling, lotteries and coincidences. It starts off with quotes from Cicero feeling that people were being misled by thinking that the gods influenced the throw of a die. Then it carries on through the early development of probability in the 16th century with [Italian Renaissance mathematician Gerolamo] Cardano. He threw two dice and looked at the distribution of the sum of the two faces. There was an incredibly popular game called Hazard where you threw two dice and betted on what the total would be. Amazingly, people had been gambling for centuries and had never realized you could do maths on gambling. Probability - which used to be known by the wonderful term "the doctrine of chances" - grew out of this.

The newest American Express Centurion Lounge is now open at New York's LaGuardia airport.
Travelers can enjoy locally-inspired dining from a celebrity chef, sip cocktails created by a star mixologist, plug into an outlet and hook up to high speed Wi-Fi to catch up on work or surf the internet, and hammer out travel details like restaurant reservations, hotel bookings, and plane tickets with the lounge's Member Services personnel.
People with a Platinum or Centurion American Express Card receive unlimited complimentary entry to Centurion Lounges, along with their immediate families or up to two travel companions. Other folks who have American Express credit or charge cards can buy one-day passes for $50.
American Express prepaid cardholders should be aware that they are not eligible for Centurion Lounge access unless they also have a credit or charge card with American Express.
LaGuardia Centurion Lounge features 5,000 square feet of luxury
The Centurion Lounge cuisine is created by Cedric Vongerichten, the Executive Chef at New York City's Perry St. Perry St is one of the Jean-Georges empire of restaurants, serving high-concept American Nouveau dishes. Cuisine is seasonally and locally inspired.
Drinks are by famed mixologist Jim Meehan, of Manhattan's PDT cocktail bar. The wine selection is curated by sommelier Anthony Giglio.
Private, noise-buffering workspaces feature plentiful outlets by every seat and free high speed Wi-Fi, and American Express Member Services staff is available to provide assistance with credit card questions, travel services, and reservations.
This is the third Centurion Lounge to debut; the first two are located at Las Vegas, Nevada's McCarran International Airport and at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in Texas. Two more Centurion Lounges are now in the construction phase, in San Francisco and Miami.
New Lounge boosts effort to revitalize LaGuardia
LaGuardia airport is in the middle of a campaign to improve the facility, built in 1962. Lysa Scully, general manager of the airport, said the City of New York is committed to modernizing LaGuardia and has put $3.6 billion behind the effort to build a new Central Terminal building. "The addition of The Centurion Lounge will help make our airport a world-class facility for travelers, and we appreciate American Express for being a partner in this endeavor," Scully said.

Chapter 4 (pdf)
A fresh collection of original essays by leading scholars that explores how families operate in everyday life.
Norton Sociology, your way.
Paperback + Digital Product License Key Folder
Philip N. Cohen (Author, University of Maryland)
Learn the story behind the data about today's families
Assigned at over 300 schools, The Family was an instant success due to Philip Cohen's conversational style and robust scholarship. By encouraging sociological thinking about contemporary families, The Family helps students become savvy consumers of media-reported research. In the Second Edition, Cohen examines trends in family life such as gender fluidity, sexuality in later life, and technology's transformation of romantic relationships. The book is further strengthened by expanded media resources including award-winning InQuizitive activities.
In the Second Edition each chapter concludes with a new "Trend to Watch" section. These end-of-chapter discussions synthesize the major themes of each chapter, present recent research on a provocative topic, and highlight opportunities for further exploration by researchers (or even students).
This award-winning adaptive learning tool personalizes quiz questions for each student in a game-like environment. Questions in each chapter help students master core concepts. Assigning InQuizitive has proven benefits. In a recent efficacy study, when students completed an InQuizitive activity prior to taking a summative quiz, grades increased by an average of 18 points. The quiz scores of weaker students increased the most, meaning that students who might otherwise struggle saw the most benefit from using InQuizitive.
Demographic trends in areas such as childbirth timing, cohabitation and marriage, divorce, remarriage, and new family forms mean we face more family choices than ever. In each chapter Cohen examines these changing patterns as well as the social forces that constrain the options available to many individuals. In particular, he examines how growing inequality challenges families in areas such as health, wealth, and well-being.

- Discovery serves up scrumptious cross-promotion
Multimedia publisher Discovery Channel Multimedia and ice cream chain Ben & Jerry's are betting that kids' taste buds will lure them to a new cross-promotion. Starting in March, the first 25,000 customers who take home Discovery's latest children's CD-ROM, Animal Planet (see page 87 in KidScreen's January 1997 issue), will receive coupons for a free pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. As well, four million pints of Ben & Jerry's World's Best Vanilla, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Chunky Monkey ice cream will feature a US$10 rebate for the CD-ROM. As an added bonus, Discovery Channel Multimedia will make a donation to the Humane Society of the United States when the campaign wraps up. The effort will be supported with print ads; television spots on Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel and Animal Planet; and point-of-purchase displays in national grocery stores, computer retailers and Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shops. For Ben & Jerry's, this is the first time it has taken part in a national cross-promotion.
-The Learning Company partners with American Express
Software publisher and developer The Learning Company is looking to reap its own rewards by signing on with the American Express Membership Rewards Program. Beginning last month, the three million cardholders who participate in the rewards program can put their points towards selected educational titles from The Learning Company. Designated titles include products from the Reader Rabbit line for kids, Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia 1997, and Spanish, French and German versions of the foreign-language products Learn to Speak and Practice Makes Perfect. The alliance will be supported by direct marketing campaigns and promotions in newsletters.
In a release, Diana James-Cairns, senior vice president of marketing for The Learning Company, says the move is just one of the company's plans to reach customers through vehicles that traditionally have not been employed by software businesses. Such efforts are necessary, she adds, as the market for computer software continues to grow.
-Nestlé tunes in to Nick Latin America
Cereal Partners Worldwide, the Switzerland-based marketers of Nestlé Breakfast Cereals, has signed on as Nickelodeon Latin America's very first advertiser. The 24-hour kids channel, which launched December 20, transmits Spanish, Portuguese and English programs to two million homes in 16 Latin American countries.
-KinderActive and Turner team up for cross-promotion
Multimedia company KinderActive, Turner Pictures and New Line Cinema have joined forces for a consumer cross-promotion. The effort centers around television and film actress Jean Stapleton, who hosts KinderActive's children's educational CD-ROM Grandma Ollie's Morphabet Soup and who stars in the Turner/New Line feature film Michael. Launched alongside the movie's national release in the U.S., the cross-promotion entitles customers to a US$10 rebate when they send in the software registration card and a store receipt for the title, as well as a ticket stub to the movie. The offer runs until June in software retail outlets that carry the CD-ROM, and is supported with shelf talkers and stickers on the software packages.

NOTE: I am posting our January income statement early because I will be busy training at my new job next week:)
January was an average income month and a surprisingly large expense month (see spreadsheet screenshot).
Our total income in January was $8,524.38. My wife received her two regular paychecks and I received $1,800 in unemployment. My wife also received $44.99 in company reimbursements and we unexpectedly received a $93.16 Annual Escrow Acct Disclosure Statement refund. We also earned $4.08 in interest income from our savings account.
This month, our spending was higher than we would have liked, mostly due to a roof leak that resulted in a mold problem. We spent a total of $14,069.10 in January. Big ticket items include $2,736 in home repairs, $1,099 for a china cabinet, and $685 for our 20 year term life insurance (paid every six months).
Next month should be good. I start my new job on January 30th and February will be my first full month at my new job! In addition to my salary, I will receive a guaranteed bonus of $2,500/month for the first three months.

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. G Body Diagram Forces. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. G Body Diagram Forces. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. G Body Diagram Forces. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.
