SCARSDALE, N.Y. - After years of discussion, fundraising and planning , the Scarsdale Library Board of Trustees is moving forward with a near $18 million dollar renovation and expansion
Last week, the Village Board of Trustees approved a $9.9 million bond offering to help offset the " public " portion of the $17.9 million renovation, which will include expansions of the teen and children's areas, a new reading space, updated wiring and technology, infrastructure improvements and a cafe area that will double as a public meeting space for the community.
The idea to renovate the library sparked in 2012, when a survey was conducted to gauge community needs and interests, and according to organizers of the renovation, one message was clear: "Scarsdale values excellence in education and lifelong learning."
Initially, the project was slated to cost more than $20 million , but the Trustees worked diligently to shave millions of dollars in costs to make the proposal more palatable for library patrons. It is now up to the Library Capitol Campaign Committee to raise the remaining $7.5 million to fund the ambitious library overhaul.
Thus far, the Capitol Campaign Committee has raised approximately $4 million. The Village Board of Trustees' bond offering will only be offered when the library raises its private funds. Once the funds are raised, the library will be shut down for more than a year, though a temporary location is expected to be set up at Supply Field while work is ongoing.
"The library our architects are designing will recast nearly every square foot of interior space, opening the building's vistas onto our beautiful park-like setting," the Capitol Campaign Committee said in a joint statement announcing the proposal. "From a welcoming new lobby to a reconfigured reading room; from a dramatic expansion of the children's and teens' wing to a clever reconfiguration of the auditorium to allow for multiple programs at once.
"The library will feel entirely new. The architects'' approach came from this important realization: libraries today are no longer places of 'shhhh,' they are places of community and communication."

Swansea's Michael Laudrup refuses to sell Michu to Arsenal
MICHAEL LAUDRUP will not get into a game of poker with Arsene Wenger over Swansea's star striker Michu.
The Spanish marksman bagged 22 league and cup goals last season after Laudrup spent just £2m on the former Rayo Vallecano forward.
By the end of Swansea's Capital One Cup-winning campaign, the Dane was talking in terms of the Spaniard being worth £30m.
But that will not put off Arsenal, who have been linked with him after their £40m bid for Liverpool's Luis Suarez was turned down.
Now that Suarez has chosen to stay at Anfield, Wenger needs to sign a striker before the transfer window shuts on September 1. But Laudrup reckons the Gunners have left it too late and said: "If you are not for sale, you are not for sale – and that's at any price.
"I know it's all like a game of poker but from my point of view, I don't want Michu to leave for any amount in the world.
"I think Swansea is in a good financial position and I don't think if they came in with a big bid very late the reaction would be any different.
"Even if the money is ridiculous, the response from the chairman would be 'No' because we would not have time enough to find a replacement. The other problem is that if you sell your best player so late and you can't find a replacement, all you have is the money. So what?
"Even if the money is ridiculous, the response from the chairman would be 'No' because we would not have time enough to find a replacement"Michael Laudrup
"Why be the richest club in the league. What is that worth?"
Laudrup added: "Anyway, I have not discussed this matter with anyone because I am convinced that Michu wants to stay with us.
"I spoke to him last year when there was talk and he asked me if I was going to stay on as manager. I told him 'Yes'.
"He told me he wanted to stay too."

text: Signature 503 Delivered - 01/16/16 I picked Signature 503 from Cleveland and drove it home to Michigan this morning. First Impressions: The build quality of my Signature X VIN 503 is significantly better than the build quality of my Signature S 524. I have had no issues to report upon delivery or after driving 300 miles from Cleveland to Metro Detroit without any problems (and an additional 50 miles to the Pistons / Warriors Game this evening). As expected, the X is less energy efficient than S (below is my 138 mile trip from Lyndhurst, Ohio to the Maumee, Ohio Supercharger). My X is currently on firmware 7.0, and Tesla plans to push 7.1 to X owners on Monday. After a 400 miles of driving today, the X exceeded my expectations. As I was picking up my X, a delivery carrier with 5 Xs and 1 S pulled up (Not all cars were for the Cleveland location). The Team in Cleveland did an awesome job. Tesla hit another one out of the park with X. Pictures below (Mods please rotate these photos if they upload upside down):

A large dock fire in Squamish, British Columbia on Thursday caused thick black smoke to blanket the town and forced authorities to issue a Shelter-In-Place order for nearby communities.
The fire broke out at Squamish Terminals' East Berth just after 6 p.m. Thursday. As of midnight, the fire was 90% contained with Squamish Fire Rescue and fire boats from Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services responding.
Squamish Terminals is a deep-water, break-bulk terminal located at the north end of Howe Sound, 32 nautical miles north of the Port of Vancouver.
The fire was not on the vessel – reported to be the MV Star Atlantic – that was tied up to the dock; the vessel was cut loose and is safely away from the dock, the terminal operator said.
Air quality improved overnight, allowing officials to lift the Shelter-In-Place order as of Friday morning.
The Ministry of the Environment is on the scene and continuing to monitor air quality.
All employees and crew members that were onsite have been accounted for and are safe, Squamish Terminals reported.
Here's some video of the fire:

After Penetration split up in 1979, Pauline Murray (born 8 March 1958) got together with the
Invisible Girls (who also played with John Cooper Clarke). Line-up was: Pauline Murray (vocals),
Dave Rowbotham (guitar), Vinney Reilly (guitar), Robert Blamire (bass), Steve
Hopkins (keyboards), John Maher (drums). John Maher plalyed at the same time also at the
Buzzcocks. Sadly this co-operation didn't last long - little more than an year.
There was very little punk in Invisible Girls records, the music was more like ethereal pop. Their only LP was producted by Martin Hannett who also had produced Joy Division and it reached n:o 25 on British chart. First single Dream Sequences peaked at n:o 67 on the British single chart.

Before I continue to drill down on the features of Excel Services, I would like to explain the architecture at a high level and touch on configuration possibilities.
Excel Services is built on the SharePoint products and technologies platform. There are three core components of Excel Services
- Excel Calculation Service
- Excel Web Access
- Excel Web Service
Box Diagram
Here is what each of these components do.
- Excel Web Access – This is a web-part in SharePoint that performs the "rendering†(development team speak for "creating the HTMLâ€) of Excel Workbooks on a web page. This is perhaps the most visible component for the end user. For those of you familiar with SharePoint, you can use it like any other web part in SharePoint to create a wide range of web pages.
- Excel Web Services – This component provides the programmatic access that I talked about yesterday. It is a web service hosted in SharePoint. You can use methods in this web service to develop applications that incorporate calculations done by Excel Services and to automate the update of Excel spreadsheets.
- Excel Calculation Service – This is the component that loads the spreadsheets, calculates them, refreshes external data, and maintains session state for interactivity. This is the heart of Excel Services.
Additionally, there is also a proxy that is used internally to handle the communication between the components on the web front end and the application server in multiple-server configurations. It also handles the load balancing in case there are multiple application servers in your installation.
These three components are divided in two major groups – those that live on a front-end server (which we refer to as a "web front endâ€), and those that live on a back-end application server. In the simplest of the configurations, all these components could be running on the same machine (we call this a "single box†installation). In a typical production environment with significant number of users, the components on the web front end and the application server would be on different machines. It is possible to scale (up or out) these components independently.
Excel Services leverages the security infrastructure provided by SharePoint. Excel services uses SharePoint for authentication (who can log into the server) as well as authorization (who has access to which spreadsheet and the type of access; read, write, view only etc.). This provides a robust security environment for protecting your spreadsheets.
Performance and Scalability
Excel Services are optimized for scenarios in which multiple users access the same spreadsheets. We have done a lot of work to optimize for this scenario – for example, caching at multiple levels so that collective performance for a group of users is improved by caching spreadsheets as well as external data queried by the spreadsheets. All this is transparent to the end user except for the good response time. (Anticipating a question, we only share cached results between users that have the same rights.)
Excel Services can be scaled up by adding additional CPUs or memory to the server it runs on. It will take full advantage of multiple CPUs to handle multiple requests concurrently. It also supports 64bit CPUs. And it is possible to scale out the web front end and application server components independently, so you can adjust either based on server load and performance requirements. For example, if there is a bottleneck in rendering spreadsheets with Excel Web Access, then you can add more web front ends, and if there is a bottleneck is in calculations, then you can add more application servers to the farm. A lot will depend on the type, size of the workbooks and external data connections in the workbooks you are planning to use with Excel Services. For large deployments, some planning will need to go into the number of users as well as the anticipated workbook mix for the installation. The architecture is designed to meet the needs of a spectrum of deployments from a departmental to enterprise. The multi-tiered approach also allows for better security and isolation of services, for example in extranet scenarios.
Next time, more detail on publishing a spreadsheet to the server and viewing it in the browser.

Aber Instruments is known in the brewery industry for its expertise in live yeast cell measurement and at Brau we will be showing our complete range of Brewing products including the Aber Countstar and PERFECTPITCH Skid.
The Countstar, is the first slide based image analysis instrument for yeast cell concentration and viability measurement that uses the same safe, traditional microscopy stains such as methylene blue or methylene violet. The Countstar uses an individually wrapped, disposable slide with five sample chambers that requires just 20 microlitres of each sample. One measurement takes less than 20 seconds. Automatic cell image analysis with a 5megapixel auto-focusing, colour camera then provides the total cell count, the viability (expressed as % of live cells), cell diameter and the degree of aggregation. The instrument is very simple to operate and requires little maintenance or cleaning.
The second product launched in 2014 is the PerfectPitch, a portable skid designed for automatic yeast pitching in Craft breweries. The skid comprises of the Aber Compact "Adapt" Yeast Monitor, a Magflow flow meter and a mini PLC together with connecting pipework and a sampling port. The skid is designed to be easily connected to hoses, and can be wheeled around, making it ideal for use in Craft breweries or production sites with a variety of remotely located fermenters.
The brewer can use the PerfectPitch for accurately transferring the correct amount of live yeast from a propagator or yeast storage vessel to the fermenter . One of the most important options with the skid though is in "cone to cone pitching" when it is almost impossible to get a representative yeast sample for analysis from the donor fermenter. With the PerfectPitch the live yeast cell concentration is automatically measured throughout the transfer and therefore the variation in concentrations and viability are accounted for. A new USB output feature has now been added to the perfectpitch, providing a complete audit trial for the breweries pitching runs.

The study on the linkage between corporate diversification and performance has attracted much scholarship within the fields of strategy and finance yet continues to yield with mixed results. Sources of the confusion in previous studies on diversification and performance are both methodological and theoretical. Among the theoretical issues identified are those that pertain to identification of independent variables, moderator variables and outcome variables. Most studies have relied on a single theoretical framework modelling diversification and performance through a single equation model ignoring the whole process before the diversification decision is reached. This has led to inadequate model specification with results losing validity and generalizability. Methodological issues raised pertain to heavy reliance on cross-sectional studies and models that suffer from difficulty of capturing contingencies such as in a theory of diversification. Other issues regard measurement of both diversification and performance constructs. Previous studies have largely ignored antecedents to diversification: this omission could possibly explain some of the contradiction in results. Availability of resources/capabilities, institutional issues, transaction costs and agent behaviour are some of the factors that affect a firm's diversification decision. Even when antecedents to diversification have been considered, empirical research efforts were largely based on the explanatory elements of resource-based view. The framework proposed in this study draws on literature from the resource-based view, transaction cost economics, institutional economies and agency theory so as to enhance our understanding of antecedents to diversification. It is premised on the view that antecedent factors motivate a firm to undertake diversification. Excess resource endowments in the face of high transaction costs may induce a firm to diversify into related activities. Absence of well-developed institutions induce firms to undertake unrelated diversification to replicate the market structures that would have been provided by well-developed institutional environment. The firm governance system while not a source of competitive advantage may lead to prevalence of agency costs which affect optimality condition when faced with choice of diversification strategy. This research study is an attempt to offer an alternative view by specifying additional elements in a model of diversification and performance comprising of antecedent factors (resources, transaction costs, institutional structure and firm governance) as the independent variable, diversification strategy that results is the intervening variable and firm performance the dependent variable. It is based on the proposition that antecedent factors affect the performance outcomes of diversification. This study will enhance understanding in corporate diversification and holds promise to provide some additional insight in resolving the unsettled issues in the debate on diversification-performance linkage.

Ramayana Terrace
Ramayana Terrace is a multifunction venue, quiet space and tropical garden located right in the heart of the city. Accessible from Grand Indonesia's Thamrin entrance and the lobby of the heritage-rich Hotel Indonesia Kempinski, it features both indoor and outdoor spaces that are packed with Indonesian history.
The building dates back to a golden age in Indonesia's past. It was here, in the 1960s, that President Soekarno held many of his state dinners, welcoming world leaders and showcasing the most luxurious Indonesian hospitality in what was then the country's largest restaurant. Ramayana then continued to play an important role in diplomacy in the Soeharto era—it was where the president held a dinner with Queen Juliana from the Netherlands to repair the relationship between the two countries after Dutch colonisation.
Now reopened, Ramayana Terrace comprises a 135-square-metre glass-doored dome bathed in natural light, which gives the space a beautiful blue hue in the late afternoon. Pillarless and featuring high ceilings as well as classic artworks from some of Indonesia's most celebrated artists, it is the perfect venue for functions, weddings and other events. Meanwhile, the outer courtyard has amphitheatre-style steps, making it perfect for creative events such as fashion trunk shows and art performances.
More than this, Ramayana Terrace is intended as a venue for all: a unique, semi-public space that offers a breath of fresh-air respite from the hustle and bustle of its central location.

PHOENIX Climate change and a growing demand for water could drain two of the nation's largest man-made reservoirs within 13 years, depriving several Southwestern states of key water sources, scientists warn.
Researchers at San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography said Wednesday that there's a 50 percent chance that lakes Mead and Powell will dry up by 2021 and a 10 percent chance the lakes will run out of usable water by 2013.
"We were surprised that it was so soon," said climate scientist David Pierce, co-author of the institution's study that detailed the findings.
The study, which was released Tuesday, found that if current conditions persist, there's a 50 percent chance the reservoirs will no longer be able to generate hydropower by 2017.
Lake Mead, on the Arizona-Nevada border and the West's largest storage reservoir, and Lake Powell, on the Arizona-Utah border, have been hit hard by a regional drought and are half full. Both lakes were created by dams built on the Colorado River, which provides water for about 27 million people in seven states.
Researchers said that if Lake Mead water levels drop below 1,000 feet, Nevada would lose access to all its river allocation, Arizona would lose much of the water that flows through the Central Arizona Project Canal, and power production would cease before the lake level reached bottom.
Larry Dozier, deputy general manager at the Central Arizona Project, which supplies Colorado River water to the Phoenix and Tucson areas, called the Scripps study "absurd."
"I think they must have made some pretty outrageous assumptions to come up with some outrageous conclusions," he said. He said his agency's own study of the water levels in the two lakes showed they were in no danger of drying up.
"You can't get there from here," he said. "You can't make it go dry in that situation using any rational set of assumptions."
Pierce said the conclusions in the Scripps study are based partially on an estimated reduction in runoff of 20 percent over the next 50 years. He said that figure was used because it split the difference between the 10 percent to 30 percent decrease in runoff the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts will occur over the next 50 years.
Scott Huntley, a spokesman for the regional Southern Nevada Water Authority in Las Vegas, said 90 percent of the region's water comes from the Colorado River and that government officials are committed to not letting the Lake Mead reservoir dry up.
He pointed to an agreement signed in December by the seven states and Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne to conserve and share scarce water if the Colorado River drought continues.
"Really, the main underpinning of this is not just supply side, but also demand side," Huntley said.
"First, we continue to monitor the lake levels to determine if states need to come back together for more dramatic and drastic measures," he said. "Second, we diversify our water sources. Third, of course, is continuing our community's efforts to conserve."
The December agreement established triggers that would reduce river water deliveries to states if Lake Mead's water level falls to 1,075 feet above sea level. It also calls for states to create agreements for further restrictions if the level drops to 1,025 feet. The current lake level is 1,117 feet.
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano said that while the Scripps findings differ from the Central Arizona Project's, she agrees with the fundamental point made by Scripps, "which is to say that as our population grows, sustainability is going to require action with respect to water."
"We're still the second-fastest growing state in the country and we still have to be planning on that in terms of sustainability, which is a good concept," Napolitano said. "Water needs to be a part of that, obviously."
Launce Rake, a spokesman for the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada in Las Vegas, said the issues of water usage and population growth are often overlooked in a rush to meet the needs of the influential building and development industry.

Android Security Bug Uses "Fake ID" To Access User Information
Mobile security firm, BlueBox has detected a security bug, dubbed, "Fake ID", in all Android operating systems (OS) beyond version 2.1. This vulnerability could allow hackers to steal personal information, such as passwords or financial information, from Android users by creating an app that uses fake security credentials to access other apps on a user's device.
Earlier this year, Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report noted that mobile malware in 2013 was developed almost exclusively for the Android OS, 32% of which steals a user's personal information. Luckily, Google says that no exploits have yet been detected, and it has created a patch, which it has distributed to partners to help keep app information safe. However, this may take some time for partners to implement this fix.
Norton Mobile Insight Has You "Covered"
Both Norton Mobile Security customers and Norton 360 Multi-Device customers are protected if apps attempt to use the "Fake ID" exploit. These offerings include NortonTM Mobile Insight intelligence, which keeps a close watch on downloaded apps for malware or greyware activity, as well as alerts you of exploitative apps. Make sure that you have the latest version of Norton Mobile Security, and that it is installed and running on your device.
Three Tips To Keep Your Information Safe On Your Android Device:
- Update your Android OS – While the Android security team has issued a patch and provided to their partners, it may take some time for all partners to implement the patch, which unfortunately increases the chances of malware being developed to take advantage of this vulnerability. If you have an Android device with an OS version 2.1 or beyond, keep an eye out for platform updates from your service provider and implement them immediately.
- Download and install Norton Mobile Security –Norton Mobile Security helps protect your Android device and the information on it from malicious apps. NortonTM Mobile Security is powered by NortonTM Mobile Insight - our cloud-enabled, automated system that dynamically generates unique mobile app risk intelligence. We are monitoring this Fake ID vulnerability closely and will be able to flag apps that attempt to use this vulnerability so you can uninstall them before they have a chance to do damage.
- Use caution when downloading app stores other than from Google Play – Google Play is taking extensive measures to detect "fakers" and prevent this vulnerability from becoming a serious threat. Make sure that your favorite app stores are reputable and are taking steps to protect users.

Lucky Joe Cocker. A new place to explore. Lots of new smells.
Lots of lovely places to rest.
These trees were such good friends that they had literally joined together.
An old story says that mice are hiding in the cones. Can you find a cone and work out why?

The Hall of Fame was supposed to be really good, i mean this album was coming from the same artist that made Finally Famous, came up with the idea for the "Clique" on the G.O.O.D Music compilation album "Cruel Summer" and featured amazing artists like Nas , Common, 2 Chainz , Kid Cudi, Lil Wayne, Juicy J , Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj, Miguel and Young Jeezy. But from start to finish it was disappointing to appalling terrible, almost everything was off from his choice of beats to the choruses on some his songs (Note to Sean Anderson, stop singing any of your choruses).
The album starts of with Nothing is stopping you which wasn't good in the least bit (forgivable considering most album's first songs seldom sound great), Fire made up for the lacklustre start. 10 2 10 sounds better on second listen and clearly points out why Big Sean shouldn't sing any of his choruses. From this point onwards the album takes a plunge into mediocrity, Toyota Music was down right depressing.
You don't know is a song that could have been better if it wasn't let down by the beat and Big Sean limited subject matter. Big Sean collaboration with Jhené Aiko and Lil Wayne on Beware was just OK. First Chain had Nas & Kid Cudi but those guys couldn't save this song, and the next track Mona Lisa was even worse. M.I.L.F has Big Sean trying to recreate the feel that Dance had with Nicki Minaj but it kinda fell short, Juicy J southern flow was bright spot for me at least it was entertaining. Time kind of felt like it was produced from the leftover from Beware , but on the bright note it featured Young Jeezy and Payroll, if I could cut off Big Sean's verse this song would have been really dope. Skipping to the Miguel assisted Ashley, Miguel's voice is just something else, sees Big Sean reminiscing about an old flame. When you feature 2 Chainz and Meek Mill on a track and it bombs, nah that's unheard of, Mula (remix) just offers mindless amusement, neither 2 Chainz or meek mill was on their best here, however the chorus subject might just save this song. I Loved the beat to Switch Up and that's it.
This album was disappointing to me I it kinda treaded the middle ground it wasn't close to as lyrically outstanding as the Kendrick Lamars, J. Cole, Jay-Z, Wale or even Kanye West latest efforts (or even try) it wasn't half as entertaining as Juicy J's Stay Trippy album.
Overall the album was a complete letdown.
If asked to rate this album I would rate it 2 out 5
Notable Songs on this album that really stood out would be: Fire, Beware, It's Time, Mula (remix), Switch Up, maybe Guap. This is not to say these songs were really good, It's more like being the best player in a really terrible team.

66-2:2 I know thy workes, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not beare them which are euil, and thou hast tried them which say they are Apostles, and are not, and hast found them lyers:
66-2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my Names sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
66-2:4 Neuerthelesse, I haue somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first loue.
66-2:5 Remember therfore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and doe the first workes, or else I will come vnto thee quickly, and will remoue thy Candlesticke out of his place, except thou repent.

66-2:21 And I gaue her space to repent of her fornication, and she repented not.
66-2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
66-2:23 And I will kill her children with death, and all the Churches shall know that I am hee which searcheth the reines and hearts: and I will giue vnto euery one of you according to your workes.
66-2:24 But vnto you I say, and vnto the rest in Thyatira, as many as haue not this doctrine, and which haue not knowen the depthes of Satan, as they speake, I will put vpon you none other burden:

66-10:2 And hee had in his hand a little booke open: and hee set his right foote vpon the sea, and his left foote on the earth,
66-10:3 And cryed with a loude voice, as when a Lion roareth: and when hee had cried, seuen thunders vttered their voices.
66-10:4 And when the seuen thunders had vttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heauen, saying vnto mee, Seale vp those things which the seuen thunders vttered, and write them not.
66-10:5 And the Angel which I saw stand vpon the sea, and vpon the earth, lifted vp his hand to heauen,
66-10:6 And sware by him that liueth for euer and euer, who created heauen, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should bee time no longer.
66-10:7 But in the dayes of the voice of the seuenth Angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mysterie of God should be finished, as hee hath declared to his seruants the Prophets.
66-10:8 And the voice which I heard from heauen spake vnto me againe, and said, Go, and take the litle booke which is open in the hand of the Angel which standeth vpon the sea, and vpon the earth.
66-10:9 And I went vnto the Angel, and said vnto him, Giue me the little booke. And he sayd vnto me, Take it, and eat it vp, and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall bee in thy mouth sweete as hony.
66-10:10 And I tooke the little booke out of the Angels hand, and ate it vp, and it was in my mouth sweet as honie: and as soone as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
66-10:11 And he sayd vnto me, Thou must prophesie againe before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Yes! Please remember this. Look at how adorable that little girl is with the stars on her head.
Be nice to the girl with the stars on her head!
This is how The Running Green Girl interrupted me when I started complaining about some randomly offensive body part while trying on clothes this last weekend.
You may remember this picture from a recent TBT post. Trophies in the background notwithstanding, the key piece here is the little girl (me) and the headband with bobbly stars on the ends.
During our Ladies' Night on Friday, RGG, LS, and I talked about how sometimes women say things to ourselves that we would never, not in a million years, say out loud to someone.
RGG asked me, "Would you say those mean things to the girl with the stars on her head?"
It made me want to cry.
Imagining someone saying the things to that kid that I say to myself on a sometimes daily basis, when she was that young and vulnerable, made me want to punch the person saying those things (me) straight in the mouth.
Complicated. But I'll assume you get what I'm saying.
I think it's so easy – habitual, almost – to say things to ourselves in the privacy of our own minds. Interior monologues, self-talk, mantras, whatever you want to call it, we all do it. What's sad is that sometimes, what we say just isn't nice at all.
You're so stupid.
You're so fat.
Oh my God, why are you wearing that?
Did you seriously just say that out loud?
How dumb can you be?
Or, my personal favorite:
I look at these things, and then I look at the picture of the girl with the stars on her head, and I feel absolutely terrible about saying things like that to her. I'm glad RGG was there to pull me out of my head and remind me of our conversation.
I promised RGG and LS that next time I started down that road I would remember the girl with the stars on her head, and say something nice instead.
Because…look at that face. How can you not be nice to that?

In 2000 my husband and I went to Paris for the first time.
I cried.
I cried because I couldn't believe I had waited so long. I should have spent my twenties in Paris.
I knew that I wanted to bring home reminders of our trip.
A Hermes scarf perhaps? A limoges box? Or a Longchamp bag?
Way too much money and we would rather spend that money on the amazing french wine and food!
We also decided that most anything you could buy in Paris... we had in America.
Happy Birthday looks so much better when written Bon Anniversaire!
I also brought back linens which, surprisingly, were much better priced than at home.
Our biggest score or coup were these posters we brought back.
Willi's Wine Bar is a Brit owned bistro in the Bourse area of Paris that we loved. Every year they commission a different artist to create a poster commemorating wine and Willi's.
THE perfect souvenir to bring home.
What is an added bonus?
The posters that we bought for $24 thirteen years ago?
Now sell for $150.00 to $300.00.
Quelle chance sommes-nous?

"Although the traditional image of a science laboratory typically consists of a room full of test tubes or microscopes, the reality is that computers now play a central role there, just as they do for business and life in general.
Computers need software, and some of that software will be specially written or adapted from existing code to meet the particular needs of the scientists' work. This makes computer software a vital component of the scientific process. It also means that being able to check that code for errors is as important as being able to check the rest of the experiment's methodology. And yet very rarely can other scientists do that, because the code employed is not made available."

In "Little Gidding," the last section of TS Eliot's Four Quartets, one of the greatest poems of the last century, now under-appreciated, under-read, and under-taught, Eliot closes by writing:
Quick now, here, now, always—
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of things shall be well
When the tongues of flame are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.
Every time I read this poem—quite a lot recently—I am reminded of the "complete simplicity" of human freedom and the Tibetan's will to achieve it; I see in Tibet through our realtime media a "crowned knot of fire" that the Chinese cannot unravel and will not unravel.
But I don't see a "rose" when I look toward Tibet; I see a lotus flower, the symbol of compassion and His Holiness the Dalai Lama's great benevolence, and I feel that this "fire" in Tibet is serving this lotus, and that one day, the fire and the lotus shall indeed be one. And His Holiness and all Tibetans will return to their homeland and to their family and once again regain their soveriegnty and independence.

4171 Cedar Ave. S .E. Rochester, Minnesota 55904
After my grandson Kendall was born, I knew someday I would build him a tractor. When Kendall was one year old, I started the tractor.
I used the rear end and forward-reverse from a Yard-Man snow blower. The steering sector is from an old Chevy truck. It was found in a friend's junk pile. The rear tires, wheels and ratchets are from a Simplicity-walk-behind tractor. The engine is a Briggs from a reel mower. The hood is from a David Bradley walk-behind tractor. I finished the tractor when Kendall was 18 months old.
When I showed him the tractor would move when he pushed on a lever with his foot, he started driving right away. It took a few times for him to learn the steering, but he caught on fast! He has driven the tractor in parades at several shows, and is a big hit. After Kendall was four years old I hooked up reverse, a throttle and installed a 3 HP Briggs on the tractor. Last summer at the show in Rochester, Minnesota, while waiting in line for the tractor parade, a couple came up to Kendall and the man said, 'That's a unique tractor you got there, I bet it's one of a kind.' Kendall replied, 'Yep, it is. My Grandpa made it or me.' That made all the work worthwhile.
Last July another grandson, Walker, was born. Now Kendall and I are planning to build Kendall a bigger tractor so Walker can have this one.

What to Expect at IBC
What should I expect when I visit IBC?
Independent Baptist Church has a friendly atmosphere, much like a family. We extend a warm greeting to every person who visits to make them feel welcome. Above all, we want our guests to feel relaxed when they come in. Come and see us. We hope you find us to be a loving, caring people. We would love to have you visit!
What are your services like?
We are an independent, fundamental Baptist church. Our services include energetic Godly music, and practical King James Bible preaching and teaching. We have great times of fellowship before and after the services.
Do you have programs for kids?
We at IBC love kids! We have children's programs running throughout the year designed just for them. It is our goal for them to learn about God's love, from His Word, for them every week in a refreshing, practical way.
We offer nursery care for babies/toddlers from newborn to 3 years old. We also have children's church during the morning service for ages 4-8, as well as Sunday School classes for all individual age levels. Join us for King's Kids on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 for elementary age.
In addition, children are always welcome in the church service!
What do you have for teens?
We have a Youth Ministry that is available for ages 13 and up. Teens at IBC will find activities and lasting relationships with other teens, and learn truths from God's Word that will help them on their life journeys. We know that teens are the leaders of tomorrow and we love having the opportunity to be a Godly influence in their lives. IBC looks forward to having your teen as a part of our church!
How should I dress for services?
As a visitor to our church, we are more concerned that you find a place where your spiritual needs can be met through a relationship with Jesus Christ. But we do understand the desire to feel comfortable when visiting a new church. When you visit, you will find that our regular church members dress in a modest way and typically you will see them in their "Sunday best."
Will I be asked to give money?
At our church services, members of our church family are given the opportunity to support our church through the giving of tithes and offerings. As a guest to IBC we want the service to be a blessing to you. There is no obligation to give as we take our offerings. However, we do know that some want to give to help God's work through the local church and we are thankful to anyone who contributes to God's work here at IBC.
How long do services last?
Sunday is the Lord's Day so we spend time hearing the Word of God. This hearing helps our faith as we live each day. We don't rush through the various services, but seek to spend quality time with God and each other. We strive to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in each service. Normally, our services last for about an hour and 15 minutes, but when fully engaged in the service, the time goes by quickly.

Comment on Terms of Carriage on BOL
Below I am posting the comment made from Mr. John M. Daley in the discussion Did you ever read the backside ( risks, obligations, jurisdictions ) of you Bills of Lading which has been opened at the Freight and Logistics Professionals group of Linkedin.
Comment on Terms of Carriage on the backside of the BOL
by John Daley
Since I frequently write the terms and conditions on bills of lading for my clients (including motor carriers, NVOCC's and ground and air freight forwarders), I am pretty familiar with the terms on bills of lading for all modes domestically, and for air and ocean internationally.
Although carriers do try to limit their liability, they are restricted from doing so by various laws (including the Carmack Amendment for motor carriage) and international carriage (e.g., the Montreal Convention for air carriage and Hague Rules for ocean carriage, adopted in the U.S. as the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act). For example, under the Carmack Amendment, motor carriers must offer shippers a "choice of rates" to enforce a limitation of liability. Although COGSA does not have a "choice of rates" requirement, the $500 per package limitation is more than adequate for many situations, although not all.
There is a historical basis for these limitations, and there are always ongoing discussions about whether the limitations should be increased. For example, the U.S. and several other countries recently signed off on the "Rotterdam Rules," which, if adopted, will increase both the amount and the scope of the ocean carriage limitation of liability (if you are interested, I have a discussion of the Rotterdam Rules in an article posted on my web site at www.johnmdaley.com). In 1995, the U.S. Department of Transportation conducted a study of cargo loss limitations, but nobody seemed all that interested in doing anything about it.
So what should a shipper do? In many cases, shippers have the option of increasing the limitation of liability by paying a higher rate. In ocean and motor carrier, shippers can also enter into contracts with carriers. For many shippers, however, the best option is to carry appropriate cargo insurance.
As Mr. Serfass points out, however, policies of insurance (including those issued to carriers, by the way) always have limitations and exclusions, so anyone who purchases a policy of insurance should be sure to read the policy as soon as it arrives, before there is a claim. If a problem is noted (e.g., if a shipper frequently ships a product which is excluded from coverage), it is frequently possible to obtain a rider which will resolve the problem, sometimes at no additional cost.
If you are a shipper and have an ongoing relationship with a carrier and are concerned with a specific term or condition, you should bring the problem to the carrier's attention and see if it can be modified. Since we are no longer in a government regulated tariff environment, individual modifications are possible.Bill of Ladding, carrier liabilities, Ocean Carrier, terms of carriage

Chapter 12 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
Chapter 13 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Chapter 14 1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

I also would like one that boosts the bass part so it is clear and not just a blurred booming noise. And one that cuts the bass part. I've found three options and I just would like some opinions and some people who maybe have some experience with these things, any tips would be great: 1) SlowGold - http://www.worldwidewoodshed.com/compare.htm.

I do realise these aren't really "effects" as such but I couldnt think of a forum any more suitable than this one.

Most of us are pretty sick and tired of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) policies at the airports but realize they are in place to protect all of us.
Well it appears that a group of Honolulu TSA agents were taking their job a bit further and profiling folks that looked like Mexicans.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the ranking Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee, wrote a letter to TSA Administrator John Pistole after reports that Mexican passengers were targeted by TSA at airports in Honolulu, Hawaii and Newark, N.J.
The officers, who Thompson said were part of TSA's Screening of Passengers by Observation Technique (SPOT) program, were engaging in racial profiling, the Mississippi lawmaker said.

On March 8, 1979, an estimated 100,000 Iranian women took to the streets of Tehran to protest the enactment of the compulsory hijab. In a video posted to Facebook, Alinejad noted that for this year's International Women's Day in Iran, "women are banned from marching in the streets."
Unable to march, women instead took to Twitter to share posts under the hashtag, #NoForcedHijab. Other women took things still further, sharing images and even video of themselves sans a veil in public.
"Many years ago, women protested against compulsory hijab by rallying in the streets," said one unveiled woman in a video. "But from that day until today, they are being told that compulsory hijab is not a priority. But to us, it is. The right to choose what we wear is a priority. I choose what is a priority for me."
A number of men recorded video to send in to the group as well.
"I do not like to force my mother, my sister, or any Iranian women to wear hijab because the sick people who only form about 20 percent of Iranian are now ruling the country," explained one man.
"What is a priority if my sister or myself cannot choose what to wear?" asked another. "A day will come that even in Iran, women will be able to choose whatever they like to wear. No to compulsory hijab."
In an email, Alinejad told Women in the World, "I received more than 20 films and more than 50 photos which shows men and women protesting against forced hijab in public."

Filth and depravity
The thing I hate the most about Halloween being over is that everyone turns into a schmaltzy bastard and immediately starts banging on about Christmas, family, goodwill to men and rampant materialism. Just one fucking day after we were all dressing up as the dead and demanding free shit in return for not egging our neighbours' windows or painting fluorescent green skulls on their car windscreen.
Goodwill to all men, my arse!
Here on The Agitation of the Mind, we're having none of it. Here on The Agitation of the Mind we're about to embark on a two-month odyssey through the sewers of cinematic cynicism. Is it dark? Is it nasty? Is it exploitative? If so, I'll be checking it out and reporting back.
We'll be kicking off tomorrow with an evaluation of how well indie horror does tackling the portmanteau format. After that … well, anything goes. Your horripilant host is currently interrogating the filth delivery system known as the internet to determine what depraved delights are available to stream. Stay tuned.
