About The HoneyBaked Ham Company
- Over 50 years ago, Harry J. Hoenselaar began a special tradition when he opened his first HoneyBaked Ham Company store in Michigan. The crowning touch was Harry's crunchy sweet glaze that crackled with good taste. He even found a way to slice the ham into perfectly even slices. He invented and patented a unique machine that slices a ham in a single, continuous spiral. Three generations and over 400 stores later, the Hoenselaar family still prepares The HoneyBaked Ham the same way that Harry did... one ham at a time.

Long Beach Aquarium Birthday Party [Long Beach Child Photographer]
I feel like I may need a t-shirt that says 'I survived last week.' Things were humming along and looking great and THEN I got a bee-sting while I was at the beach doing photo sessions on Tuesday. Thankfully, one of my clients was there to help me get the stinger out of my finger. By that evening my finger started to swell. No biggie, just a little bit uncomfortable. I worked away on the computer and woke up the next day unable to bend my finger…every couple hours the swelling moved down my hand, so I decided to see a doctor. Of course this was after the pool party at my house and shooting a line of clothing. So, I got steroids to help with the swelling and went to the next group of photo sessions on the beach on Thursday. Fast forward to Sunday and I had done almost 30 mini sessions at Rascals to Rebels, hosted a few more dinner parties and my finger was back to normal.
It's amazing how a tiny little bee affected my week so much! I was trying to stay on top of my editing because this week, I'm taking some time off to hang with my family. All that work last week was worth it. I'm all caught up (for the moment!) and loving life with the use of all my fingers. 🙂
Speaking of parties!!! Every so often I get to photograph the birthday parties of one of my clients. I've been photographing Chloe for over a year, so when her mom asked me to document her 4th birthday party at the aquarium, I felt like a proud auntie!
This was such a fun place for a party! They kept the kids moving the whole time from one fun activity to the next. Chloe had a blast and with her adorable expressive personality, gave me one fantastic shot after the next!

2. Today, in addition to being Easter Friday, is also the Feast of St. Mark, which happens to be M's name day. To celebrate, since we are having dinner with our parish home school community, I had the girls make cards for M. I gave them a quick example of a lion drawing, and realized my poor drawing skills:
|L (3) drew a mouse-like lion, drew M, and traced capital letters.
|G (5) did a lion, her father, lots of hearts, and her name, which is edited out... She also tried to write the date and gave up.
3. When I picked out earrings today, G insisted on me wearing my lions. I think I last wore these to the zoo.
|Earring selfie! (Sorry, M, I had to use that word; I know you hate it.)
4. I spent yesterday morning distracting myself by doing a little editing of my blog formatting. Do you see what I did? Any suggestions for other pages/tabs? I could collect things like recipes or posts in certain topics into other pages. Maybe I can delve into home organization next week, as opposed to virtual, while the weather is crummy and rainy. My intentions of organizing during the Winter months vanished with a busy schedule and visiting St. Louis a few times to see my dad.
5. Saturday, during our Easter preparations, M went out to the garden to plant a blueberry bush he bought on an impulse from Aldi. While digging, he found the den of Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter Rabbit. Flopsy and Peter got away immediately, but the other two sat cowering in corners of the garden until M placed them back in their den. The girls thought it was great fun and wanted to keep them, but everything we Googled recommended against it. F (17 months) could not get enough of them and stood by the garden fence saying, "Buh-ee! Buh-ee!" And when I made her bid them farewell her voice became mournful and sad, "Buh-ee... buh-ee..."
|Cottontail scared and cold.
6. If you are my friend on Facebook, you have already heard about F stealing L's jelly beans. This toddler is quite into her candy. I was keeping the baskets on the table, and she was climbing right up, finding foil-wrapped candies, declaring them to be, "Choc!" and biting right through the foil with her sharp front teeth. She is a little obsessed with chocolate; I wonder where she gets that? I cannot reliably get her to eat foods besides scrambled eggs, meat, processed cheeses, and candy. I guess we have another picky one on our hands, which is too bad because she was really into fruit and vegetables back when they were her only foods. Well, M can get her to eat anything, so as long as he is at a meal, she eats.
7. Last of all, the gracious hostess of Seven Quick Takes, Jen is releasing her book Something Other Than God next week. It is about her conversion to Catholicism from atheism, and should be a good read. I was not cool enough to pre-order it, but I promise I will read it once I get a hold of a copy. :)

If you stop at a stop light they'll walk up the street, looking into the cars, looking for their people.
If you're white, like I am, they pass you by. They don't sustain eye contact or return a smile, don't say anything into the open window of the idling car, but keep on going. Instead a minister stops at the car behind you, giving fruit to the woman in the bondo-colored Chevy Caprice with the muffler and the kids in back. A woman who is black. Another passes pamphlets into the window of and SUV in the next lane. And maybe you can't see who the man is talking to. It's not a white guy, though. It's not an Asian or a Hispanic. The ministers are proselytizing and won't talk to just anyone. They use the time -- just the length of a red light -- to try to convert those who can convert. They look, in a sense, for those who already have, dormant within them, that which the Nation of Islam brothers would wish them to be.
They look for those who are in some way already within the circle, already a part of the thing, to make them aware of what they believe is already the case. It's not a conversion they're after, in the sense of a conversion as a change. They don't want a move, but an awakening, a conversion in the sense of a realization. They want people -- certain people -- to become what they already are, to stop, as they see it, denying the truth, and come into the knowledge of what they already know, but suppress within themselves.
American culture tends to be dominated by a universalist rhetoric. All are created equal, and so forth. Most evangelizing takes the same form as voter registration drives, attempting to get everyone signed up. Universal suffrage. The truth available to everyone. The Jehovah's Witnesses hit every door, e.g. The Bible church invites everyone to the hell house. That's pretty much the model.
There are these other types of proselytization, though, which might provide side way into thinking about conversions aren't experienced as being a choice.
How do the Rebbe's Riders, for example, identify the non-religious and not-very-religious Jews on motorcycles they're trying to evangelize with the Lubavitcher message?
They have to ask, presumably.
The Jews they're trying to reach are not wearing any outward signs of their faith, and may not, either, be identifiable by ethnic-genetic traits. They have to say "are you Jewish?" At least in some cases. Even if they're pretty sure of the answer and think they know, yes this person is Jewish, there's the question, which serves as the start of the proselytizing. The question also has a second function beyond the initial interrogative act.
First, of course, it's a query meant to open up an evangelical spiel, but, second, it makes a claim about what it is to be Jewish. An affirmative answer ends up implicitly accepting some idea about what being Jewish entails, some implicit demands about certain things are expected if one answers "yes."* To say "yes" is to stand accused of something -- in the same way that to say "no" is to be off the hook, to say that certain things don't apply to you. A charge is leveled with the question about responsibilities and obligations that a "yes" answer supposedly necessarily involves.
The claim perhaps becomes clearer if a third answer is imagined, not "yes I am Jewish," or "no," but, "why?"
"Are you Jewish?"
"Because if you are, what I'm about to say is relevant to you, important for you, applies to you ... " etc. "because if you are Jewish you have already been chosen ..."
Asking "why" asks for the implications of the Rebbe's Riders' question to be spelled out. And the implication is a claim about what is really true inside a Jew, even if it's not being acted out. It's saying, in a sense, that you (the Jew) are already what the Lubavitcher wants you to become, but which you have suppressed or denied. You are already converted, if conversion means being X (in this case a Jew) rather than not being X..
You're not being asked to make a choice, but simply to recognize the reality.
The evangelical Lubavitcher is essentially starting a conversation by saying "you have denied the truth within you. You know it, but you close your eyes, stop your ears, shout down your soul. But you know it's true: you have been chosen." There's a sense in which the question isn't about conversion -- though this is an evangelical act, here -- but about acknowledging one is one of the converted (if we can misuse the language, here).
The same can be said about the Nation of Islam's tactic on MLK. They're not asking "are you black?" obviously, but by giving their literature and their food only to certain people, they are identifying those people as already being within the fold, even if they themselves wouldn't identify themselves that way. The claim is, "you're one of us. You can deny it, which is to essentially participate in your own oppression, siding with those who would keep you down."
It's interesting to think about this moment from both sides: from outside of the Nation of Islam, it would appear that those within have chosen this faith, these practices, and this identity. It would look like they saying to other black people, you should choose this too. Make this change. Choose this, because it's better.
But, from within, the Nation of Islam proselytizers don't experience themselves as having chosen. The Nation of Islam's naming would be an example -- it's not a new name, as understood by those who take it, but the original one. For this reason, the act of proselytizing is more aggressive** than simply offering someone something as a choice. It's a claim, actually, that you (the person they hand this literature to) are in denial about the truth of yourself.
The claim being made, when a piece of literature is passed through a window, is something like, "will you recognize your true nature, your true name, who you really are? Or will you continue in your ignorance?"
We tend to think of conversions as changes. That is, after all, the definition of "conversion." If we look a little closer at proselytizations that eschew the universal that's so dominant in American culture, it's evident there's an aspect of conversion, though, that's not framed as a choice, and not experienced as such either.
Conversion, as an experience, as described from within, is not the experience of a choice, but the experience of realizing one has been chosen.
This, it turns out, isn't unique to those religions that are only available to a few, with a shape predetermined by race, though. It's actually part of the logic of conversion itself, that it's something that looks like a choice, is preformed as a choice, but not experienced that way.
*One can see a secular version of this "Jewishness as implicit demand" in the Larry David sketch where he whistles Wagner.
**The Wire (of course) depicts this aggression of the Nation of Islam and the Nation of Islam's position towards black people who aren't members of the Nation amazingly well with the NOI assassin Brother Mouzone. E.g., in the famous "most dangerous thing in America" line.

Bigger squeeze to come?
* Call to advertise emissions * UK Government under pressure * Let us know your thoughts...
The squeeze on car advertising might not stop there.
British Lib-Dem MEP Chris Davies is among the leading supporters of even more stringent controls. He believes the current directive does not help provide consumers with sufficient information to make informed choices, and is backing plans for 20% of the surface of adverts to be given over to economy and emissions figures.
TV, radio and internet ads, currently outside the directive, could also be sucked in.
'My main focus is on reducing CO2 emissions from cars, but I will be supporting the labelling directive,' Davies said. 'Until the recent hike in fuel prices, consumers rated economy and emissions as low priorities. It is better to have measures which force them to pressure manufacturers into providing that information.'

A pro-independence blog by James Kelly - voted one of Scotland's top 10 political websites.
Tuesday, September 5, 2017
Have London Tory ministers been heeding siren voices about the SNP?
As I've noted before, it's important to separate out two different questions - a) have the SNP concluded that an early general election is undesirable? and b) would they vote in favour of an early general election if the option was put before the Commons? If Faisal Islam is correct, the Tories are making the huge mistake of assuming that if the answer to a) is "yes", the answer to b) must by definition be "no". They may have been encouraged in that view by listening too much to so-called metrosplainers such as Mike Smithson of Stormfront Lite, who has repeatedly pushed the idea that the SNP will inevitably vote for their own self-interest and help block an early election. Tory ministers really need to get out more and start listening to people who understand Scottish politics - although in truth they should have long since learned the lesson themselves by now. Have they really not noticed how toxic the Tory brand has been for decades among the pool of voters which the SNP and Labour compete over? Or have they fallen for their own propaganda, and think that Scotland is suddenly relaxed about Tory rule now that Ruth Davidson is here?
The reality is that it doesn't actually matter whether the SNP have privately reached the view that an early election is more of a threat than an opportunity, or even whether they think it would be a certain disaster. They would have no choice but to vote to bring down the Tory government, because the long-term consequences of doing anything else hardly bear thinking about. There would be no point in avoiding a short-term hit if the price is decades of Labour taunts about the SNP helping to keep the Tories in power. I doubt if there's a single SNP MP who doesn't fully understand that point.
In any event, it's far from clear that the SNP should fear an early election. The danger they face in the central belt has been well-rehearsed, but the flip-side of the coin is that they look well-placed to regain a few rural constituencies from the Tories. It hardly needs to be stated what a psychological boost it would be if Angus Robertson and Alex Salmond were to quickly regain their former seats.

Memo to Anas Sarwar : There's little point in pitching yourself as the unity candidate who will bring Corbynites and moderates together, if you're then going to unveil a long list of the usual suspects (such as Iain "the Snarl" Gray, Ian Murray, the Daily Mail's very own Alan Roden, Catherine Stihler and Jackie Baillie) as your loyal supporters. You might as well just have the words Chicken Coup : The Sequel tattooed on your forehead. Severin Carrell's initial claim that Sarwar was the man to watch because he would have Corbynites flocking to his cause is looking more and more eccentric with every passing day.
The Labour selectorate are faced with a genuine dilemma, though. Whether wisely or unwisely, Nicola Sturgeon has nailed her colours to the mast today with a breathtakingly radical programme for government that will make it much harder for a Leonard-led Labour to outflank the SNP on the left. For all Ruth Davidson's half-hearted claims that the SNP have nicked one or two Tory policies, I can't see anything in there that could reasonably be described as right-of-centre - but there's quite a bit that's to the left of even Corbyn himself.

If the Tories want another election then the SNP should abstain on the motion requiring 434 votes (as should Labour). The Tories then have to move a motion of no confidence in themselves. SNP and Labour would then vote no confidence, resulting in a 600+ vote of no confidence in the Tories.ReplyDeleteReplies
It'll be Labour pushing for an early election this time, not the Tories. The Tory-DUP majority looks solid enough, though, unless there are defections.Delete

You're right. If the Tories can't win when they have a lead in the polls of 21% they'll be very wary of wanting another election. Perhaps if they elect a new leader. If it ever comes to a vote of no confidence in the Tories, the SNP are duty bound to bring them down.Delete

I was around at the time, so these are more lies from GWC2. Read Callaghan's memoirs. He clearly states that it was his own labour MP's that brought down his Government. Nothing to do with the SNP.
- AnonymousSeptember 5, 2017 at 8:54 PM
Even while the implementation may be quite different, a lot of the ideas espoused by Sturgeon about the future direction of the country mirror those of David Cameron's "Big Society" brand of one-nation liberal conservatism. The various handouts to startups and businesses, combined with rates relief and the SNP's unwillingness to raise certain taxes or even cut others - these are definitely areas where the SNP program diverge from the left. What Nicola showed us today was an impeccable roadmap for -social democracy- but that isn't the same thing as socialism. Not to mention the SNP's emphasis on globalism and free trade with the EU, things contradictory to "actual" big-state protectionist socialism.ReplyDelete
By sheer virtue of his penchant for red flags, trade unions, batty 3rd world strongmen and marxist phrasemongering, the Corbynite project will *always* be much further Left than the SNP, which itself has to make compromises with capitalists while in government. The fact that the PLP have made him concede ground on Trident or his northern MPs on Brexit notwithstanding, there's nothing the SNP can do to actually change this perception unless New Labour comes back as a zombie with vengeance, and trying to do so is a fool's game. If Leonard wanted to flank her from the left, he could do so off the reflection of Corbyn's moment in the sun alone.
That said, there seems to be a notion making the rounds that Leonard's Englishness will harm him with the left-nationalist voting bloc that SLab need to make inroads into. Do you think there's any truth to it? Is it pro-Anas concern-trolling? Is it an implicit accusation of anglophobia by the London commentariat?Replies
The left nat si block must be smaller than the rubik cube. The nat sis are firmly in the hands of capitalism and always were. Just Tartan Tories...They want to join the EU and be a subservient little piece of the Greater Reich...Delete

A look at www.biosyn.com
The first thing I thought when I loaded this site is "What lab have I landed in?" and that's not far from accurate. If on the other hand you're a researcher or doing advanced life science work then this site may well have something for you.
The site itself looks very sophisticated and fancy, it's quick to load and appears to have a lot to offer. However it's been a long time since my high school biology and science classes and I wouldn't know a peptide if it introduced itself these days.

There are many professional conferences held annually for different industries. From the educational industry to the medical industry and finance industry, there are top seminars you can attend to improve your knowledge and learn new skill sets and acquire fresh and current information. One of the top conferences in the healthcare industry is the Healthcare Analytics Summit. Thousands of attendees come from all over the United States every year to learn cutting-edge ways to apply analytics in the healthcare industry and to hear industry leaders speak. Also if you are a speaker or research attending a conference to present your work is also a huge plus for your career. On the outset, the conference should provide visibility to you and your research work, creating an opportunity for feedback. The opinion of leading scientists in the field is vital to improve and strengthen your research prior to manuscript publication.
The academic conference should provide opportunities to network with peers and key researchers in the field. These provide a platform to develop future collaborations with fellow researchers as well. Before you choose a conference to attend, do the following:
Do the Background Research
In order to gain an insight, start by asking active researchers and practitioners in your field about available conferences they recommend. It is important to evaluate key reasons to attend a conference apart from its scientific credibility. Ensure that the conference suits your research work and coincides with your time and availability.
Re-check authenticity of the host organization to avoid predatory conferences that merely make money off researchers. For instance, established conferences in the neurosciences and cardiology may provide a general overview of existing professional platforms for research dissemination. The initial search should enable you to narrow down specific conference, based on scientific niche, industry niche and impact for your work. Online search tools can also allow you to refine your search by discipline.
Have Set Goals
Once you select the conference, start planning your goals and how you plan to achieve them. Look through the conference website and choose which seminars or workshops you want to attend. This will help you best distribute your time and resources. Also, find out if there will be opportunities for one on one coaching or small groups. If you intend on presenting your research paper or speaking at the conference, prepare to submit your research by following up on the submission guidelines well in advance. Popular and high-impact conferences require an abstract submission more than 6 months ahead of the proposed conference date. The abstract submission guidelines will be available on the website, for a peer-review based selection process. The abstract should adhere to word count limitations, scientific specifications and keywords for its acceptance as a poster/vocal presentation. Based on the years of work completed and cross-disciplinary collaborations, several aspects of interest may exist for presentation. Choose the work you intend to deliver to your target audience, based on the stage of completion. Comply with guidelines for abstract or conference proceedings and submit by the due deadline.
Travel Grants and Budgets
Most conferences allow junior scientists to apply for a travel grant, in the event of abstract acceptance for presentation. Prior to submitting your abstract, however, verify the costs and identify your funding sources. Conferences located overseas and interstate will have added expenses for travel, including airfare and hotel accommodation. Consider in advance, if budget allocations for research travel align with the expenses for your selected destination. Also, find out from your company if they can sponsor you to attend the conference.
Register on Time
Once you have aligned your research work with an established scientific conference and verified funding sources, register for the conference. Registration is available for scientists via the official conference website, as a professional member of the host organization. Depending on the organization, the registration process may be free or based on a small fee.
Handy with these tips, you should be well on your way to being prepared to attend your conference of choice. If it's your first conference or your first time presenting at a conference, do not panic but be rest assured that if you are well prepared, it will go smoothly.

LACK OF NEW TREATMENT OPTIONS. INSUFFICIENT ACCESS TO BIOSPECIMENS. POOR UNDERSTANDING OF UNDERLYING DISEASE BIOLOGY. NO CURE. There are a number of challenges and unmet needs that act as barriers to desperately needed progress in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) research. In this Giving Smarter Guide, PAS presents the key issues that were prioritized by a group of world-renowned SCLC experts and patient advocates to discuss the state of science relevant to SCLC and the challenges currently impeding research progress. It also includes recommendations on how strategic philanthropic investments can accelerate progress in SCLC.
Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in the United States, claiming the lives of about 160,000 Americans each year– more than breast, prostate, and colon cancer combined. More than 400,000 Americans are currently suffering with lung cancer, with more than 200,000 new cases esti- mated to be diagnosed this year alone. The emotional and economic costs of lung cancer are enormous. Only 17 per- cent of lung cancer patients survive beyond five years after being diagnosed. Additionally, the disease costs the econ- omy more than $12 billion annually, and this is projected to increase by at least 25 percent over the next five years.
Unfortunately, the outlook is even worse for the 15 percent of lung cancer patients who are diagnosed with SCLC, one of the most aggressive forms of the disease. Only 7 percent of these patients survive beyond five years after diagnosis.
Furthermore, lung cancer frequently gives patients false hope by initially responding favorably to chemotherapy and then rapidly becoming resistant and untreatable.
Given the aggressiveness of the disease, the rapid development of resistance to treatment, and the low five-year survival rate, SCLC and another aggressive cancer, pancreatic cancer, have attracted the attention of Congress. The Recalcitrant Cancer Act acknowledges that more dedicated resources need to be allocated toward recalcitrant cancers (cancers with five-year survival rates of less than 50 percent) such as SCLC. The act was passed by Congress in 2012; however, it is currently an unfunded mandate. Given the scope of what is necessary to address the key unmet needs in SCLC in order to really make a difference in the lives of patients, it is unlikely that the government would be able to fund the full scope of work. This is where strategic philanthropy can play a game-changing role.
With the current attention from Congress and the success observed in treating the most common form of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with new immunotherapies, now is the time for the SCLC community to capitalize on this momentum. Strategic investment in research tools, infrastructure, and discovery science can play a catalytic role in developing new life-saving treatment options not only for SCLC patients, but also for patients with other forms of lung cancer.
Treatment options for SCLC remain unchanged from the standards developed more than 30 years ago. In this Giving Smarter Guide, we outline the key barriers to SCLC research progress that have contributed to a lack of treatment options for patients. These barriers include:
- Poor understanding of SCLC disease biology
- Lack of SCLC-specific funding to support research
- Lack of access to SCLC biospecimens to identify biomarkers and new therapeutic targets
- Inefficient clinical trial enrollment processes and data sharing
Readers will be able to use this guide to pinpoint research solutions aligned with their interests. This guide will help to answer the following questions:
- Why should I invest in SCLC research?
- What key things should I know about this disease?
- What is the current standard of care?
- What is the current state of SCLC research efforts?
- What are the barriers preventing development of new therapeutics?
- How can philanthropy expand infrastructure to support SCLC research and advance new therapies?

That's the tag line on Tallahassee media consultant Kevin Cate's annual holiday video, which this year pummels a host of Florida politicos just in time for Santa to fill their stockings with coal.
Some highlights of the Cate Communication's spoof exposes "the secret wish lists" of Fla pols:
The video opens with Santa relaxing by the fire whilst flipping through the local North Pole newspaper, which features this top-of-the-fold headline: "Negron: Creepy Senate Santa Resigning is Gift Enough," accompanied by a photo of former Sen. Jack Latvala, who resigned this week amid an investigation into allegations that he promised legislative favors in exchange for sex.
As Santa opens the paper, a headline above Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, a Republican gubernatorial candidate who some say has taken a decided pivot to the right since his days as a U.S. representative, says, "Delete my Congressional Record."
This jab at state Sen. Jeremy Ring, a Democrat running for CFO and a former Yahoo! exec: "Gore is to the Internet as I am to Yahoo. Does that make me CFO?"
A dig at Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis: "Need 8 Year Supply of Jheri Curl ASAP."
And this cringe-worthy poke at U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, who's made the rounds on national TV of late, promoting President Donald Trump's agenda: "Matt Gaetz: "I Want Trump to Grab Me Right in My Policy."
Gov. Rick Scott, Attorney General Pam Bondi, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and others are also targets, and a headline notes media consultant and The Capitolist publisher "Brian Burgess helped with Some of These Jokes (Blame him)."
Cate is pledging $1 per view — up to $1,000 — to the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Big Bend.

Useful and comprehensive tool
I use Handstory as a reader, and as a better alternative to AvantGo, and to carry map images I've downloaded after looking up how to get somewhere, or a map of the Middle East to see where a country it. It can hold a fairly large image that can then be dragged around on the screen. I would give it five stars if they were still maintaing the clips to downloadable content, but I think they're not paying attention anymore. But there are still a bunch available, and the software does include the tool to make them myself, if I can devote some time to learning that. I HAVE learned how to make the simpler quick links so that I can have a page from the site of my local TV news (with links as many layers deep as I'd like) to read later.

What may seem like the biggest election ever for a small electorate ends Tuesday morning as Procter & Gamble Co. shareholders vote on whether to give activist investor Nelson Peltz a seat on the board.
For all the fuss, there is actually not as much at stake as you might think. Peltz, who runs the hedge fund Trian Partners, says he'd move to reinstate the board member he's seeking to boot – former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo – and doesn't want to fire P&G Chairman-CEO David Taylor or break up the company. Even if he wins, he won't have the votes to change things on a board he's lambasted for overseeing years of stagnation or declining market shares.
Yet investors have been bombarded with communication from both sides in the costliest proxy fight ever, with P&G having pegged its spending at $35 million and Trian at $25 million. Both sides have blanketed shareholders with big heaps of mail along with robo-calls and live calls, search and other digital ads. Trian even advertised on Sunday's NFL broadcasts in Cincinnati.
P&G alumni, generally disappointed with the performance of a stock that many counted on as the bulwark of their retirement plans, seem sick of ad glut from both sides.
But even many critics end up as loyalists. One former senior executive, while he sees the whole fight against Peltz as misguided and believes the company would have been better off just bringing him onto the board, ultimately cast the P&G-approved "blue" ballot. Still, he believes the proxy battle has been a big and unnecessary distraction both for Taylor and P&G Chief Brand Officer Marc Pritchard, who's leading the marketing effort against Peltz.
What Peltz says he'd do
Peltz in his September white paper called for reorganizing P&G into three largely autonomous units linked by a "lean corporate structure." He'd like those three units to go their own way on things that include hiring ad agencies and buying media. Peltz sees P&G falling behind in digital media and needing to hire a lot more executives from outside. And after the company shed around a 100 brands to focus on its biggest ones, Peltz believes P&G should stem the tide of share losses by acquiring or otherwise growing more startup and emerging brands.
What P&G says Peltz would do
P&G believes the reorg would waste money and is just a Trojan horse to position the company for later breakup. Pritchard points to a host of digital accomplishments and e-commerce growth, even as he uses the company's buying power to push for better accountability from digital players. P&G points to improving results since Taylor took charge in November 2015 and calls Peltz's criticisms outdated, fueled in part by former Chief Financial Officer Clayton Daley, who has joined Peltz as an advisor.
Taylor, in talks to investors and employees, has said adding Peltz, who often assembles a shadow team to second-guess management, could derail recent progress, which has seen P&G beating shareholder returns from most peers (Peltz says the share price has been fueled by news of him taking a stake). P&G says Peltz's experience comes in food, not household and personal care, and points to questionable results where he's been on boards, such as Mondelez, whose share price has lagged P&G's in recent years.
Why Peltz looks like he could win
Peltz has won widespread endorsements, including from the three largest proxy advisory firms and the large California State Teachers' Retirement System. Analysts say active investors are likely to vote for Peltz. P&G is counting on alums and other retail investors – heavily situated in Cincinnati – to go its way. The New York Times, in the most detailed vote analysis to date, believes the election will come down to managers of three big index funds – Vanguard, Black Rock and State Street advisors. The latter two generally go with corporate boards, but Vanguard, the biggest, has a slight tilt toward insurgents, and The Times believes P&G needs all three to win.
Why it's all a big circus
Making the whole thing a bit more bizarre is that it's part of a week of activities turning Cincinnati into a sort of a miniature South by Southwest, albeit with the unusual twist of being kicked off by a big corporate proxy fight and ending with a light show rather than a music festival. As P&G closes its annual meeting, the P&G Alumni Network is opening a reunion in Cincinnati expected to draw 1,500 of the company's far-flung and high-powered alums, including Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO (and P&G board member) Meg Whitman and Clorox Co. CEO Benno Dorer, plus others who just want to rub elbows with them, such as VaynerMedia CEO Gary Vaynerchuk and Buzzfeed CEO Jonah Peretti.
The reunion runs alongside Brandemonium, a marketing "festival" from a local music-festival organizer featuring many of the same panelists as the P&G alums get. The whole thing closes with Blink Cincinnati, an art and light show across 20 city blocks. In short, it's a potentially a big showcase for the city, opened by a shareholder vote that one of its biggest employers believes could lead to it getting carved up by a hedge fund.

Bamboo is a grass, and it's the fastest growing woody plant in the world, capable of growing up to twenty-four inches a day! Adaptable to many different climates, it thrives in jungles as well as high on mountainsides, and the plants can grow to over one hundred feet in height.
Both decorative and useful, bamboo is of notable economic and cultural significance in many parts of the world. It's commonly used for furniture, construction, musical instruments, dinnerware and paper.
In this image, talented artist Jaquelynne Mauvais has painted the fascinating plant in the chinoiserie style.

Save Our Gulf
My name is Renee Blanchard and I am the new Save Our Gulf coordinator. I am originally from Lafayette, LA, but moved at a young age to south Florida and when I was old enough I started traveling the globe working on social and environmental justice issues. Over the past ten years, these travels took me to places like the refugee camps of northern Thailand, Washington DC, and Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Returning to the gulf in the wake of an unprecedented oil disaster was never the plan or even the plan just three months ago, but it's where I found myself January 23. Boarding a plane from Oakland, CA to New Orleans, preparing to jump into something I don't think I have yet to wrap my head around.
As I travel on this journey alongside the Waterkeeper Alliance and the seven Waterkeepers who make up Save Our Gulf, I will be sharing our work with you right here. Each week I will be posting a column where I give you the highlights of what the Save our Gulf Waterkeepers are doing to restore and protect our gulf. Here are just a few things our hardworking and dedicated Waterkeepers are up to as well as useful information on the Eco-system Task Force.
Louisiana Bayoukeeper – Louisiana Bayoukeeper is located in Lafitte, LA, a community central to the restoration of our gulf coast families. Tracy and Mike who are our Bayoukeepers have been part of the fishing community in lower Louisiana and are working hard to make sure that community recovery from the BP oil disaster includes long and short term health care. Please take a moment to sign an important online petition to stand in solidarity with Louisiana Bayoukeeper and all the families still suffering from the health impacts of this great social and environmental disaster.
Mobile Baykeeper – Today Mobile Baykeeper will be conducting a Muddy Waters Watch Workshop at the Mobile Baykeeper office. MWW volunteers will learn how to identify a site that needs monitoring, how to conduct a site visit, how to document and report mud and clay leaving construction sites and polluting waterways, what constitutes a violation and agencies responsible for enforcement. And on On March 26, 2011, Mobile Baykeeper will host its second annual HopsFest beer tasting, featuring premium craft beers from Budweiser-Busch and Gulf Distributing Companies. This fundraising event takes place from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. at Cathedral Square in downtown Mobile.
Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper – In August and this past December LMRK teamed up with the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN) and Dr. Wilma Subra to sample soil in the Mississippi River Delta near the mouth of the Southeast Pass. The results were released last Monday and show that this area is contaminated with crude oil from Deepwater Horizon. You can read the specific results here.
Truth Out for the Gulf - Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN), the home of Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper in Baton Rouge, LA, along with Dr. Wilma Subra hosted a forum in New Orleans on February 5 at the First Unitarian Univerisalist Church of New Orleans. Dr. Subra released results from testing for specific compounds in four impacted citizens. The event was extremely emotional as citizens from all over the gulf coast came to ask questions about their illnesses and their problems getting doctors to appropriately diagnose them. All needing help on how to move forward for this tragedy. For me this event was a real eye opener of what the communities here have been experiencing everyday since the oil first starting gushing. You can watch her entire presentation here. If you don't have time to watch the entire presentation, take a look at some of the photos taken by Jefferey Dubinsky on the LEAN website.
Ecosystem Task Force Meetings – President Obama created the Ecosystem Task Force "to build on the ongoing spill response and natural resource damage assessment effort, as well as achieve overall recovery for the gulf, and is comprised of federal and state leaders and informed by stakeholders in the region." The task force will be meeting in New Orleans on February 28, 2011. Many gulf coast community and regional groups, including Waterkeeper Alliance and the seven Waterkeepers located on the gulf coast, will be participating to make sure that their voices are heard in restoring the damage done to our communities. If you are interested in knowing what will be discussed next Monday, you can take a look at the agenda here.
Please use Save Our Gulf as a resource to better understand the true impacts of the BP oil disaster. Bookmark our blog and check back often to hear our stories.
Happy Mardi Gras.

Program Notes
Star Spangled Banner (John Stafford Smith, arranged by John Philip Sousa) uses lyrics from a poem written in 1914 by Francis Scott Key, a then 35-year-old amateur poet after seeing the bombardment of Fort McHenry at Baltimore, Maryland, by Royal Navy ships in Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812.
The poem was set to the tune of a popular British drinking song, written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a London social club. Set to Key's poem and renamed "The Star-Spangled Banner," it would soon become a well-known American patriotic song. It was recognized for official use by the United States Navy in 1889 and the President in 1916, and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931 (46 Stat. 1508, codified at 36 U.S.C. § 301), which was signed by President Herbert Hoover.
Before 1931, other songs served as the hymns of American officialdom. Most prominent among them was "Hail, Columbia" which served as the de facto national anthem from Washington's time and through the 18th and 19th centuries. Following the War of 1812 and subsequent American wars, other songs would emerge to complete for popularity at public events, among them "The Star Spangled Banner."
Gioacchino Antonio Rossini (1792-1868) (pictured at left) was the son of a trumpet player. He studied in Bologna (Italy) and spent most of this creative life in Vienna and Milan. Among his most popular opera offers were: The Italian in Algiers, The Barber of Seville, and of course, William Tell. What would Saturday morning cartoons music be without his opera offerings?
Rossini composed at a terrific speed, completing 38 operas in 23 years. He suddenly and mysteriously quit writing operas at the age of 37 and spent ten years competing his Stabat Mater. He ultimately settled in Paris and was the witty leader of the artistic world until his death. He was highly regarded as a cook and his dinner parties were renowned. He invented a number of recipes, including Tournedos Rossini, which has become a perennial favorite.
La Gazza Ladra Overture (The Thieving Magpie) is an opera in two acts with libretto by Giovanni Gherardini. The first performance was on May 31st, 1817 at La Scala. The story is that of a maid servant who is sentenced to death for the theft of a silver spoon that, just in the nick of time, is found to be the work of a thievish magpie.
Vasilij Ivanovitz Agapkin was born in Sjaterovo in 1884. In addition to serving in the army, he worked as a cinema pianist, playing accompaniments for silent films.
A Slavic Farewell was originally called "Farewell to a Slavonic Woman", and since its premiere in 1912 during World War I, it has become the best-known, best-loved march in Russia and in the surrounding independent states of the former Soviet Union. According to legend, the inspiration for this march came from Agapkin having seen newsreels of the Balkan War. During this conflict, Russian and Slavic forces fought together, and reportedly the newsreels contained poignant footage of Slavic soldiers parting with their wives and families. The march became popular in World War I, during which time Agapkin served as the music director of the Tjekan 7, a forerunner of the KGB.
The word "Slavic" in the title of the march, which otherwise invokes only Russia, is a tribute as much to the pan-Slavist ideology of the preceding century as to its transformation into Russian nationalism on the eve of WWI.
Like other iconic artifacts of the pre-1917 era, the march underwent a revival after the collapse of communism. It gave its name even to a new brand of vodka. Most notably, though, during the debates surrounding Russia's new national anthem in the 1990s, Joseph Brodsky, along with many others, including General Lebed, petitioned Boris Yeltsin to adopt "The Slavic Woman's Farewell" as the national anthem of the new Russia. Later, in 2000, during the heated controversy on the same subject under Vladimir Putin, the Yabloko Party proposed it as an alternative to both Glinka's (de fact anthem under Yeltsin) and the old Soviet workhorse.
In America, in the small towns and burgeoning industrial metropolises of the turn of the "last" century, cornetists were heroes. Small girls and boys would flock to hear them and their bands, resplendent in paramilitary costume, fill the Sunday-park air. Herbert L. Clarke (pictured at right), certainly the most famous cornetist of his time, would in his long career conduct ensembles with such bizarre names as the Huntsville Leather Company Band of Ontario.
Clarke was probably one of the two best-known players in cornet history. Proud of his Yankee heritage, he was born into a musical family in Woburn, Massachusetts, where his organist father assured all his sons through training in several instruments apiece, but tried to dissuade them from pursuing musical careers. Nevertheless, Herbert and his trombonist brother Ernest were to become famous soloists, first in Patrick Gilmore's historic ensemble (then conducted by Victor Herbert), later with John Philip Sousa.
At one time, Clarke was Sousa's highest-paid soloist, but despite efforts of the great man to keep him permanently, Clarke's band leading and composing interests were to take him on long sojourns. Much to Sousa's frustration, in fact, Clarke insisted on retiring from solo performance on the cornet at age 50 (a cut-off point he had set for himself in his youth – that on one might ever say to him, "he doesn't play as well as he did in his prime.") A composer of 240 works, Clarke brought the curiously rigid form of the cornet solo as far as it could reasonably go in harmonic interest and wealth of musical ideas.
Clarke recorded most of his 50-odd solo cornet compositions, including Bride of the Waves (recorded five times, the earliest in 1904), Sounds from the Hudson (1904), Caprice Brilliante (1908), Southern Cross (1911), and Stars in a Velvety Sky (1911). His Flirtations (1923) cornet trio, will feature soloists Lu Ann Gresh, Marcia Nelson-Kline, and Mary Phillips.
Terig Tucci was an Argentine composer, violinist, pianist, and mandolinist. He was born in Buenos Aires in 1897. His first composition, Cariños de Madre, was performed for a zarzuela at the Avenida Theatre in 1917. Following a career as a violinist in local cinema orchestras, he left in 1923 for New York, and from 1930 to 1941, performed for NBC Radio. Prominent recording label RCA Victor named Tucci executive producer of their lucrative Latin American music unit in 1932, and in 1934, he performed with fellow countryman Carlos Gardel during the renowned tango vocalist's Paramount Pictures contract.
Remaining at the helm of RCA Victor's Latin unit, Tucci served as lead music arranger for CBS' Pan-American Symphony Orchestra from 1940 to 1949 where he collaborated with the accordionist John Serry Sr. and the conductor Alfredo Antonini on the radio program Viva America. He also performed for General Electric from 1941 to 1947, and for the Voice of America, from 1951 to 1959. Tucci led his tango orchestra in numerous RCA recordings, notably My Buenos Aires, in 1958. He retired from RCA Victor in 1964, and in 1969, wrote a reflection on Gardel's last days, Gardel en Nueva York. Tucci lived out his final years in his Forest Hills, Queens, home. He died during a visit to Buenos Aires in 1973, and was buried in New York.
La Bamba De Vera Cruz. La Bamba de Vera Cruz is Tucci's best-known pasodoble. La Bamba is a regional dance of the state of Veracruz, which is located near the Gulf of Mexico. A boy and girl in brightly colored dress, most likely reds and whites, perform the flirtatious dance.
Harold Bennett (at right) is actually the pseudonym of Henry Fillmore for musical selections that were intended for junior high and high school bands. Fillmore used the pseudonym "Al Hayes" for musical selections for pieces a bit more difficult. He also wrote under the pseudonyms "Will Huff," "Harry Hartley," "Ray Hall," "Gus Beans," and even "Henrietta Moore."
The introduction in "Military Escort" (called "the best easy march ever composed") came from a march by Will Nicholson of Vallonia, Indiana. Fillmore bought the work for $35, revised the melody and harmony, added an additional 96-bars of his own material, and copyrighted the march in 1923 for both band and orchestra, using his Harold Bennett pseudonym. Designed for beginning groups, Fillmore was amazed when the manuscript was read by his Shrine Band, and the members proclaimed it one of his very best marches. The composer apparently did not realize that the open-tone cornet fanfares and low-brass melodies, as well as the repetitive "shave-and-a-haircut" rhythms, had been familiar to instrumentalists for centuries. Using these basic patterns, Fillmore produced an uncomplicated masterpiece which rises and falls in the band popularity polls but never disappears. According to Paul Bierley, "Military Escort" even outsold "The Stars and Stripes Forever" march for a period of about four years. A few years later, Sousa told Fillmore, "I wish that march had my name on it!"
Antonio Lucio Vivaldi wrote many concertos for solo instruments and orchestra. Nicknamed Il Prete Rosso – "The Red Priest" because of his red hair, Vivaldi was one of the best-known Italian Baroque composers and virtuoso violinists. His influence, during his lifetime, was widespread over Europe.
The Concerto for Two Piccolos. Despite the fact that there are only 12 opus numbers, Vivaldi published more than 100 works, in that each opus contains multiple works, usually 12. Opus 10 is a collection of 6 flute concertos published in 1729-30 in Amsterdam - the first flute concertos ever published. In addition to his assigned opus numbers, there are several methods of identifying or cataloguing his music.
Henry Fillmore was a true free spirit. He was brought up by a conservative family in a conservative town. When he couldn't do as he wished, he ran away with a circus and played trombone in the circus band. To top it all off, he married an exotic dancer.
Bull Trombone (Characteristic). The selection is part of a series of 15 characteristic trombone smears.
John Williams (pictured at left) studied composition at UCLA with Mario Castelnueovo-Tedesco and later attended the Juilliard School. In 1956, he started working as a session pianist in film orchestras. He has composed the music and served as music director for over 70 films, including Jaws, E.T., Star Wars, Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler's List, Jurassic Park and Memoirs of a Geisha. Williams has been awarded two Emmys, five Oscars, and 17 Grammy Awards, as well as several gold and platinum records. From 1980 to 1993, Williams served as conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra. He has written many concert pieces and is also known for his themes and fanfares written for the 1984, 1988, and 1996 Olympics.
John Higgins did the arrangement and Paul Lavender the orchestration, but the sound is unmistakably Williams all the way – Symphonic Marches. The arrangement features Raiders March from the 1981 motion picture Raiders of the Lost Ark; The Imperial March (Darth Vader's theme) from the 1980 motion picture Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back; and, Olympic Fanfare and Theme written in 1984 for the Olympic games in Los Angles, California.
It was 1911 when Gustav Holst (pictured at right) decided to write another military band suite based on English folk songs. Reflecting his interest in folk song, two years after composing the First Suite in E-flat Holst took up pen and wrote the Second Suite in F, founding it on Hampshire folk songs. Set in four contrasting movements, he deftly applied his trade to a number of songs such as "Swansea Town," "I'll Love My Love," and "The Song of the Blacksmith." In the last movement he created the memorable combination of two folk songs heard simultaneously, the revolving "Dargason" and the classic "Greensleeves."
The Suite in F received its first public performance on June 22, 1922, at Albert Hall for the British Music Society's annual convention. Once again the Royal Military School of Music gave the performance. A program note from this premiere suggests that Holst forgot about the work shortly after its composition:
This Suite the (Second Suite in F) was originally written in 1911, and then put aside and forgotten until recently when the composer was appealed to for a work for the military band, and its existence recalled . . .
John Philip Sousa loved baseball! His son played in a semi-professional ball team for a time and Sousa's own band formed a ball team and played the home teams of many of the communities the band visited on their tours. Sousa also shared a love of good cigars and often visited Cuba to satisfy his need for the very best. It was on one of those visits that Sousa met with Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis, baseball's high commissioner from 1920 until his death in 1944.
Landis asked Sousa to compose this march on the occasion of the National League's 50th anniversary in 1925. The march National Game was the result.
John Philip Sousa observed, "Jazz will endure as long as people hear it through their feet instead of their brains." Interesting enough, Sousa's interest in Jazz began with ragtime. He programmed it sparingly during the late 1890s in the United Sates and found that his audiences loved it. And, it was Sousa who was initially responsible for the popularity of ragtime in Europe. He joined a few classical composers who experimented with ragtime and jazz by composing several compositions in the style. From concert programs, we also know that he featured ragtime and Dixieland ensembles with his band.
The Jared Spears At a Dixieland Jazz Funeral is more a traditional approach to the style, featuring the small solo ensemble in two moods of the style (the first being a funeral wake, taking the recently departed soul to the cemetery for burial and the second, being the uplifting party for the spirit).
The Temple of Christ the Redeemer was built in Moscow as a memorial to Napoleon's defeat in Russia in 1812. For its consecration ceremonies, planned for 1881, Peter Tchaikovsky (pictured at right) was asked to write an appropriate piece of music. He decided upon a programmatic overture relating the historic events surrounding the Battle of Borodino and Napoleon's flight from Moscow. It is doubtful if the 1812 Overture was actually performed at that consecration of the Temple. What is today accepted as its world première took place in Moscow in 1882.
The overture opens with a subject for woodwinds and brass, quoting the Russian Hymn, "God Preserve Thy People." The main part of the overture is devoted to a description of the Battle of Borodino. Here we get quotations from the Russian national anthem and the Marseillaise to identify the opposing armies. A powerful climax is built up, at its peak the triumphant strains of the Russian national anthem proclaiming Russia's victory.
Since the consecration ceremonies for the Temple of Christ had been planned for the outdoors, Tchaikovsky originally included among his percussion group an actual cannon which was to boom at specified intervals. The cannon is sometimes used today in open-air performances of the overture.
Stars and Stripes Forever (John Philip Sousa – pictured at right) The march is considered the finest march ever written, and at the same time one of the most patriotic ever conceived. As reported in the Philadelphia Public Ledger (May 15, 1897) " ... It is stirring enough to rouse the American eagle from his crag, and set him to shriek exultantly while he hurls his arrows at the aurora borealis." (referring to the concert the Sousa Band gave the previous day at the Academy of Music).
The march was not quite so well received though and actually got an above average rating for a new Sousa march. Yet, its popularity grew as Mr. Sousa used it during the Spanish-American War as a concert closer. Coupled with his Trooping of the Colors , the march quickly gained a vigorous response from audiences and critics alike. In fact, audiences rose from their chairs when the march was played. Mr. Sousa added to the entertainment value of the march by having the piccolo(s) line up in front of the band for the final trio, and then added the trumpets and trombones join them on the final repeat of the strain.
The march was performed on almost all of Mr. Sousa's concerts and always drew tears to the eyes of the audience. The author has noted the same emotional response of audiences to the march today. The march has been named as the national march of The United States.
There are two commentaries of how the march was inspired. The first came as the result of an interview on Mr. Sousa's patriotism. According to Mr. Sousa, the march was written with the inspiration of God.
"I was in Europe and I got a cablegram that my manager was dead. I was in Italy and I wished to get home as soon as possible, I rushed to Genoa, then to Paris and to England and sailed for America. On board the steamer as I walked miles up and down the deck, back and forth, a mental band was playing 'Stars and Stripes Forever.' Day after day as I walked it persisted in crashing into my very soul. I wrote it on Christmas Day, 1896."
The second, and more probable inspiration for the march, came from Mr. Sousa's own homesickness. He had been away from his homeland for some time on tour, and told an interviewer:
"In a kind of dreamy way, I used to think over old days at Washington when I was leader of the Marine Band ... when we played at all public functions, and I could see the Stars and Stripes flying from the flagstaff in the grounds of the White House just as plainly as if I were back there again.
"Then I began to think of all the countries I had visited, of the foreign people I had met, of the vast differences between America and American people and other countries and other peoples, and that flag our ours became glorified ... and to my imagination it seemed to be the biggest, grandest, flag in the world, and I could not get back under it quick enough.
"It was in this impatient, fretful state of mind that the inspiration to compose 'The Stars and Stripes Forever' came to me.
Irving Berlin (pictured at left). With a life that spanned more than 100 years and a catalogue that boasted over 1000 songs, Irving Berlin epitomized Jerome Kern's famous maxim, that "Irving Berlin has no place in American music - he is American music".
Irving Berlin was born Israel Berlin in May 1888. When his father died, Berlin, just turned 13, took to the streets in various jobs, working as a busker, singing for pennies, then as a singer/waiter in a Chinatown café. In 1907 he published his first song, Marie From Sunny Italy and by 1911 he had his first major international hit, Alexander's Ragtime Band.
Over the next five decades, Irving Berlin produced an outpouring of ballads, dance numbers, novelty tunes and love songs that defined American popular song for much of the century. In a class by itself is his beloved paean to his beloved country, God Bless America. On Armistice Day, 1939, Kate Smith sang for the first time one of the beloved songs of our people – God Bless America by Irving Berlin.

Tokyo Ghoul √A episode 05
Badass episode! I just wish the subtitles in these episodes weren't hardcoded. It gives me a lot more work when trying to post my review every week. Nevertheless, it's a good show so I that little bit of extra work is somehow worth it all.
I got to say that I really enjoyed this episode. Ghouls were fighting people, people were fighting ghouls. It was a huge battle for survival and all for what; to rescue that hairy geezer that eventually ended up beating Ken? That is a really messed up twist. But at least Ken now has a goal that he can try to reach. He is well on his way by the looks of it.
I was actually surprised to see the One-eyed Owl appear like that. He came to save his "friends". I wonder if it was the real One-eyed Owl or that old man from the café. My money is on the latter. I don't think the real one would show up to save his fellow ghouls. He strikes me as the type of ghoul that believes in "survival of the fittest".
Anyway, the real issue here is that Ken seemed to have experienced a huge power boost. He gained more of those tentacles, which looked like centipedes, and hauled quite a lot of ass. He even defeated one of those top-ranked detectives and may or may not have eaten him alive. I am kind of hoping he didn't end up eating the man himself but just his armor (or Kagune as they call it). I don't want to see Ken as the kind of character that goes around murdering people, not even if he himself is attacked. He can only kill annoying and insane characters, hehe.

EDINBURGH CITY achieved a full set of victories against every Lowland League opponent with a 2-0 win over Whitehill Welfare at Ferguson Park.
Goals either side of half-time from John Dunn and Dougie Gair ensured a comfortable evening for the champions.
There was a minute's silence before kick-off for Whitehill U-20s player Cameron Armstrong, who passed away earlier this week. Stevie Manson was in the right place at the right time for Whitehill on 27 minutes as he cleared a Donaldson flick off the line following a corner. The hosts were inches from taking the lead shortly before half-time when Andrew Stobie tipped over sub Jonny Scott-Mercer's close-range header.
Dunn gave the visitors the lead four minutes before the break. The ball broke to the No.9 after Ross Allum was challenged in the area and he calmly guided the ball into the top corner from 18 yards.
City claimed for a penalty immediately after the break as Hurst appeared to bring down Allum, but the striker was booked for a dive. Gary Jardine's side responded by scoring seconds later, captain Gair driving on to chipped pass and sending a fine left-foot half-volley into the far corner.

It's been about a month, and I've just let the free time unproductively wash over me. I obviously feel very guilty… give me your best I-believe-you face.
I am once again in Melbourne today.
Second week in a row.
Last week was my regular visit, with all the staff, and all the meeting, and stuff and things. This week I'm here for some training. I have no idea what to expect, but I hear "Six Sigma" is pretty good. I feel like I'm about to become part of a super-hero force. This is just like the Avengers, right? Do I get to be Thor?
I could say that I have no idea why I'm being sent on this training, but I have mentioned process issues a few too many times in various meetings to be entirely surprised at where I have ended up. And I am taking it as extremely encouraging that this training has materialised in my path.
It does leave me burdened with a sense of obligation though…
…to use these new powers for good.
(I need to work on my evil laugh)

Malaysian Heritage commissioner Datuk Prof Zuraina Majid talks about having successfully recovered the neolithic remains from Gua Cha, which were until this year stored at Cambridge University.
Keeping skeletons in her closet, literally
New Straits Times, 3 July 2008
Heritage Commissioner Prof Datuk Dr Zuraina Majid has skeletons in her closet.
But this does not mean that she harbours dark secrets from her past which she wants to keep under wraps.
Instead, Zuraina is literally keeping eight skeletons in her office.
The skeletons are prized relics — 6,000-year-old Neolithic human skeletons from Gua Cha, Kelantan, which were brought back to Malaysia after a long stint abroad in January.

I�ve found some peace with the show Fairly Legal, about a woman they call a mediator who does nothing that even vaguely resembles mediation. The way I�ve done it (because I still like the characters and the legal issues) is that I just keep telling myself she�s something new � a unique entity in the law.
In my mind, I call her a Conciliator. The weird part is, I think there�s room in the legal system for someone like this. It would be sort of a mediator, sort of an arbitrator, and sort of an investigator. There�s nothing like this now, and I suspect that this show might spark such an entity into being. She�s closest to an arbitrator, because arbitrators can investigate to some extent and in a very limited way. So I�m not writing to complain about how they went right off a cliff on the whole mediator concept.
Instead, I�m writing about a recent show involving a barbecue sauce recipe. The conciliator (I absolutely refuse to call her a mediator) made this statement: �You can�t copyright a recipe.� I shook my head, first because if she were a mediator she couldn�t give legal advice (okay, I�m going to complain a little), but second because she was wrong.
It�s true that you can�t copyright a list of ingredients. But you can absolutely copyright ...more
