Certificates of Recognition (CORs) are issued jointly by a Certifying Partner (e.g., ENFORM, Construction Safety Association, Manufacturers Health and Safety Association), and The Provincial Government 's Workplace Partnerships. The COR recognizes that an employer's health and safety management system has been evaluated by a Certified Auditor using documentation reviews, on-site observations, and employee and management interviews. The COR shows that an employer has in place a health and safety program compliant with standards set up by their Certifying Partner & OH&S.
The audit process usually consists of a qualifying external audit followed by two years of internal or maintenance audits
Achieving & maintaining a valid COR is required for earning refunds from WCB, if registered in the WCB Partners in Injury Reduction (PIR)Program. The PIR program promotes the development of effective workplace health, safety and disability management programs and offers WCB premium incentives for reduced claim costs below predicted targets.
Safety Savvy currently provides Safety Management services, including Certified Audits, throughout BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

This document provides specialist inspectors in HID with guidance on the expected standard for the management of instrumented systems providing low integrity safety functions and safety functions of undefined integrity. Low integrity safety functions are those providing risk reduction of a factor of ten or less and commonly termed 'sub-SIL' of 'non-SIL'.
Dutyholders have a duty to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of risk and to introduce preventive and protective measures to control the risks identified by the risk assessment. Where risk control measures involve work equipment such as instrumented systems, operators have further duties to maintain those systems in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair and to provide information and instruction.
Relevant good practice in the management of safety instrumented systems in the process sector is provided by the three parts of BS EN 61511. It defines the concept of safety integrity level (SIL) and defines a minimum level of performance (SIL 1) below which the standard does not apply. It also defines the determination of SIL, therefore, in practice, it does not apply below a minimum level of performance (SIL 1) apart from those parts of the standard used to determine the required level of performance.
Inspectors encounter instrumented systems where the integrities of the safety functions they implement are below SIL 1, have not been determined or are in the process of being determined. Until a suitable and sufficient assessment of risk has been completed and the required risk reduction has been specified, the applicability of BS EN 61511 cannot be established.
Irrespective of required risk reduction or the status of risk assessment, the objective for inspectors is to ensure that dutyholders adequately manage all instrumented safety functions.
Instrumented systems that implement low integrity safety functions will be easily identifiable because they have, by definition, been identified through assessment of risk.
In the absence of an assessment of risk, or where the assessment of risk is in the process of being carried out, an instrumented system shall be considered to be implementing a safety function if its action can, in the opinion of the inspector, be related to the prevention of a hazardous event that could reasonably be expected to result in serious or significant injury, health effects or environmental damage.
An instrumented system implementing a low integrity safety function or a safety function of undefined integrity shall be subject to the following provisions:
Inspectors should advise dutyholders that these engineering and operational practices would contribute to a demonstration that risk has been reduced so far as is reasonably practicable.
For the purpose of the Enforcement Management Model, this guidance is an interpretative standard
Relevant good practice in the management of instrumented safety instrumented systems in the process sector is provided by BS EN 61511.
Guidance on instrumentation in process control systems is provided by BS 6739.
Further information on the management of control functions and their impact on safety functions can be found in HSG238.
Further information on the management of health and safety can be found in HSG65.
Major hazard installations.
To be used by HID EC&I Specialist Inspectors during established intervention processes.

First of all, let me explain two very basic concepts - what is Session and what is Scope:
Session: the current connection that's executing the command.
Scope: immediate context of a command.
For example:
1) Two commands executed within same stored procedures are in same Scope
2) Two stored procedure executing using same connection are in same Session.
As these two concepts are defined, here are the differences between the three identity retrieval methods:
* @@identity returns the last identity value generated in this session but any scope
* scope_identity() returns the last identity value generated in this session and this scope
* ident_current() returns the last identity value generated for a particular table in any session and any scope
Note: scope_identity() & iden_current() is applicable to SQL Server 2005 only

Trans-Siberian Orchestra 11/18/10
EnergySolutions Arena – Salt Lake City, UT
Words/photos by feliciaevita
Did anybody see the Trib's assessment of last Thursday's Trans-Siberian Orchestra's concert in Salt Lake City? David Burger opined that the almost three-hour TSO show was exhaustingly long and with questionable content at times, most notably with the addition of the Beatles tune "Help." Burger appeared surprised that a band with the longevity, talent, and reputation of the TSO wouldn't get their show right. While I share a few of his sentiments, the TSO concert was far from a train wreck.
As a first-time TSO concert-goer, I was wowed by the chromatic laser lights – which were at times as bright as going for an eye exam – synchronized with the thunderous music that vibrated through every seat in the ESA. And yet, the musicians didn't play second fiddle to the stage effects. One of my first notes was that everyone should see this concert. The energy of millions of lights and talented TSO electric guitarists and violinistas made this fall's Aussie Pink Floyd concert seem comparatively lifeless. After hearing "Beethoven's Ninth Symphony," near the opening, my friend and I listened for and heard trademark rock-i-fied Christmas carols early in the program … "O Come All Ye Faithful," "A Mad Russian Christmas," and "Christmas in Sarajevo."
TSO is really two performing companies, TSO East and TSO West. Like every major band I have seen this year, TSO's program is choreographed ("rock-by-the-numbers" as Burger said) because of the light show designed to maximize the impact of the musical lineup. And in reality, even country cowboy singers Tim McGraw and Brad Paisley have stage productions choreographed to accommodate video, a strategy which downplays the crowd interaction and spontaneity.
Besides the lights-music-video combination, consider that stage pyrotechnics just might mandate a little choreography. Just ask Metallica's James Hetfield, who got second and third degree burns on his hand, arm, and face, when he and his guitar collided with fireworks on the stage during a concert. Ouch.
TSO West's musicians, including the Salt Lake Strings, were superb. Beethoven could have scarcely dreamed of an electric guitar playing beside his beloved violin. The racing keyboardists kept every tempo and volume alive during the show. And the vocalists, for the most part, had Broadway-quality voices. (Yes, I have been to Broadway, in fact as recently as this year, fyi.)
Besides the fireworks, lasers, flames, fog, and simulated snow, the show featured two cat walks suspended over the VIP seats. Violinists and electric guitar players dashed to the edge of the walks and played to the mid-section crowds. The heat of the flames on stage permeated the arena. For once, I was glad not to be amongst those under the suspension action or near the made-for-stage blow torches, and yet I was equally pleased that I hadn't opted for the cheap seats.
The endurance drill in the middle of the program sapped those next to us and a legion of others who hiked up the stairs to the exits about two hours into the show. As Burger mentioned, the Christmas-angel-in-the-bar diatribes from the narrator and the songs that didn't fit to the theme of the program were, in a word, annoying. "Can you believe how many people are leaving?" my friend commented. We were determined to stay in our lower bowl seats to the bitter end, even though she was very ill with a cold.
I'd printed out the set list before the concert and knew that in staying we'd be rewarded by hearing "Christmas Canon Rock," "Siberian Sleigh Ride," and "The Nutcracker." And rewarded we were, for the music and winter scenes were exceptional. We walked out of the ESA well after 11 pm, over-tired but glad for the experience, sort of like Christmas itself.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is no small operation. We saw six buses and 11 semi trucks parked outside. After the concert, I found myself wondering what their dry ice bill was and what they're going to do if Christmas ever goes out of style.
And a little footnote to the ESA: when I entered the arena and took my seat, I thought perhaps my eyes were going bad. In reality, it was smoky haze left from the 4 pm show. Maybe a little look-see and re-work on the ventilation is in order???

George Washington seeks single-season wins record at St. Bonaventure
=== George Washington seeks single-season wins record at St. Bonaventure ===
(Sports Network) – The seventh-ranked George Washington Colonials carry the
nation's longest winning streak into tonight's A-10 clash with the St.
Bonaventure Bonnies. On Saturday, George Washington continued its perfect run
through A-10 play with a 78-67 decision over Fordham on the road, winning its
16th straight contest. That victory was significant in that it tied the
program record for wins set in 1953-54 and later equaled in 1997-98. If
the Colonials can win tonight, and they are heavily favored to do so, only a
matchup with Charlotte this weekend stands in the way of the club
completing an unblemished conference run. As for St. Bonaventure, it is just
8-17 overall, but that mark is much better than the 2-26 record that the
club posted last season. The Bonnies enter tonight's clash on a bit of a
high, as they have won two of their last four games. On Saturday, they
knocked off Duquesne by a 77-76 final in dramatic fashion. George Washington
owns a 26-22 lead in the all-time series with St. Bonaventure, including
an 85-59 romp over the Bonnies in the most recent meeting last season.
George Washington will be forced to play without big man Pops Mensah-Bonsu
both tonight and this weekend versus Charlotte. Mensah-Bonsu injured his knee
against La Salle last week and is expected to be held out of action until the
A-10 Tournament. In his absence, the Colonials racked up 22 assists and shot a
blistering 53.6 percent from the floor against Fordham. They also earned a
17-12 edge in points from the foul line. Maureece Rice connected on 8-of-11
field goal attempts en route to 19 points, while Danilo Pinnock contributed 17
points and eight boards. Carl Elliott tallied 16 points for George Washington,
and Mike Hall rounded out the double-digit scorers with 10 points. Overall
this season, the Colonials are averaging 79.3 ppg while surrendering 65.4 ppg
to opponents. Pinnock paces the club with 14.7 ppg, and he has dished out 76
assists as well to go along with 61 steals. Mensah-Bonsu adds 13.1 ppg and 7.1
rpg, and he will clearly be missed. Fortunately, Rice (12.3 ppg), Elliott
(11.3 ppg, 102 assists) and Hall (10.8 ppg, 7.1 rpg) are more than capable of
picking up the slack.
Ahmad Smith has led St. Bonaventure in scoring in four straight games, and he
is netting 16.3 ppg this season to pace the squad. Michael Lee is second with
12.6 ppg, and he is also second on the boards with 6.8 rpg. The team's leading
rebounder, Paul Williams, is contributing 10.0 ppg and 7.4 rpg. The Bonnies
are posting 67.9 ppg while giving up 73.2 ppg, and they have been much more
competitive this year than last. Smith showed a great deal of heart in the win
over Duquesne, as he calmly nailed two free throws with three seconds
remaining to claim the victory for the team. A 46-35 rebounding advantage
played a major role in the win, as did a 21-14 edge in points from the foul
line. Smith finished the contest with 23 points to pace his squad, while Lee
contributed 17 points. Williams was impressive as well, as he tallied 14
points and 14 boards.
Don't expect an upset tonight, as George Washington is too well coached to be
upset by the Bonnies. Even without Mensah-Bonsu, the Colonials will roll.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: George Washington 80, St. Bonaventure 64

IVC Blood Clot Filter Side Effects
IVC blood clot filters may break apart inside the body, causing injuries.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Deep Vein Thrombosis, also known as a DVT, is a serious condition where blood clots form in the veins of the lower body such as the legs. The symptoms of a DVT include leg pain and swelling. These clots can break free and travel through the blood stream to the heart and lungs causing serious, sometimes life threatening clots such as pulmonary embolisms.
Pulmonary Embolisms
A Pulmonary Embolism, often abbreviated as PE, is a blood clot in the lungs. These clots are usually caused by DVTs, although on rare occasions they can also come from other parts of the body. When a large clot or many small clots travel to the lung, a pulmonary embolism can result in death.
Filter Fracture
IVC Filters have been shown to have an increased risk of fracturing over time. When an IVC Filter fractures, pieces of the filter break off and travel through the bloodstream. This can be very dangerous and sometimes fatal if the pieces travel to the heart or lungs.
Perforation of a vein
In some cases, an IVC filter can tear a vein. This can occur when the filter fractures and pieces of the filter break free and travel through the bloodstream. See Filter fracture.

Wacky chicken coop is made out of vintage police car (Video)
As we've seen countless times before, there are quite a few unorthodox examples of chicken coops out there, be they chicken chapels, swooping Swedish dwellings with an ocean view, or more "egg-cessive" options costing a cool hundred grand.
Taking the humouristic high road, French artist Bendetto Burfalino -- known for quirky art installations such as this phone booth aquarium -- took an old 1970's police car and converted it into a chicken coop by gutting it and wrapping parts of it in chicken wire to make it habitable.
Calling it "La Voiture de Police Poulailler" (literally "police car chicken coop"), it's also a bit of word play on the fact that in the francophone world, the police are sometimes colloquially referred to as "chickens" (similar to the anglophone reference of police as "pigs").
Best of all, the steering wheel and clutch have been left intact, as if the chickens are ready to drive off. It's a brilliant example of creative re-use, though we hope those chickens will be wearing some chicken diapers to preserve that vintage interior. More over at Bendetto Burfalino's website.


text: Hello all, I'll be visiting SF Bay Area from this Saturday and as there aren't many Teslas in Poland, being a huge fan of them, I'd love to use this opportunity to finally ride in one. I know that you could rent a Model S using a service such as GetAround, but unfortunately because of my disability I wouldn't be able to drive it and my wife isn't comfortable with driving such an expensive car. Because of that I'd like to ask you whether do you perhaps know a car (or taxi) service that uses Teslas. Or, perhaps, is there any club member that'd be kind enough to make my dream come true? I'd of course be able to pay for it. Thanks for all the help!

Need To Learn About Real Estate Quickly? Read On
Investing wisely takes some skill, and people are always looking for good advice on doing so well. If you need to do better at this kind of thing to do well in the future, this article is going to help you with all of this. Below, you can find many helpful investment ideas.
Before you begin investing, take stock of the market and do your research on properties. Look at between 50 and 100 properties in a location you desire, and create a spreadsheet with each one. Things to look at include repair budgets, expected rent, and current prices. You can use this information to figure out which investments would be good and which ones would not.
Always find out about the values of other properties in the area. This information will give you a better understanding of the neighborhood. This will allow you to make a better decision regarding a given property.
Don't invest in real estate until you have talked to an appraiser or realtor. Sellers often will cover the costs of inspections. However, it is best to use an independent contractor who is not connected to either you or the seller for best results. Hire someone you know and trust, or get a neutral party to inspect it.
When you are considering industrial or retail properties, keep two things in mind. First, don't overpay for the earth. Do not overpay for your business. Look at the property value as it stands and compare this with the amount of rent you feel you could earn on it. Each of these numbers needs to be right in order to go ahead with the deal.
When thinking about your real estate investments, consider the time you have available to dealing with the property. Tenant issues can eat up your schedule. A good property management company can be very helpful if you are pressed for time.
Think about employing a professional property manager. Though you will have to spend money to do so, the investment is often worthwhile. Property management can screen the renters interested in your property, as well as take care of repair costs. This frees up time to look for more properties.
You definitely need to continuously work on becoming a knowledgeable investor, in order to secure your future. The tips located above will help you gain wealth by investing. Commit yourself to these methods, and you will begin to fulfill your potential as an investor.
Tried And True Real Estate Investing Tips
Investing in real estate can help you when you want your income supplemented, and it could really become a source of income. To realize success in this venture, you must understand the methods that others have used to earn money. To help you make good deals, continue reading.
Protect your growing real estate business by establishing a LLC or other business entity. That way, you will be protected. Additionally, you'll be able to take advantage of some tax benefits.
Learn from like-minded colleagues. Lots of people want to get involved in real estate investments. You can probably find a business group dedicated to real estate investing in your town. You can also join forums to learn more about it. Join these groups and learn all that you can.
You should never make the assumption that all real estate rises in property values. This is a dangerous assumption for the market in general, much less any individual piece of property. The best thing to do is to invest in a property from which you can obtain a positive cash flow right away. Property value increases will then add to your income and profits.
Choose something that has the potential to increase in value. Remember that good location is a plus when it comes to excellent resale value. Figure out how much the price is likely to rise in a given amount of time.
Learn all you can about real estate investments prior to spending any money buying properties. Mistakes in real estate investing can lead to some pretty hefty losses if you aren't careful. One of the best investments you can make is in educating yourself.
You should now know how you can avoid any real estate pitfalls and instead be successful. These suggestions should help you on the path to success. Make sure to work hard and study the market with diligence.

Red Hat uses Wine, but only to support the most commonly used Windows applications like Office, Photoshop, etc. Engineering applications like AutoCAD are not your "typical" application set and are not but a single blip on the radar.

Lady Gaga has showed fans the black eyes she received after being hit on the head by a metal pole during a concert.
The 26-year-old singer took to Twitter to assure her Little Monsters that she was on the mend following the accident on stage in New Zealand.
In the candid snap showing her bruised eyes, the Poker Face hitmaker puts on as brave face and poses with messy hair and red lipstick.
She accompanied the image with the caption: "Emerging from hours of sleep. Still remiss if I should go outside, with this clonker I may be of questionable styling."
The star also thanked her 25.5 million followers for their messages of support by later tweeting: "Thank you so much for all the thoughtful messages. I feel a bit woozy but a little better every day. Very happy to be in beautiful Australia."
Gaga was left clutching her head on stage when a backing dancer accidentally struck her with the prop as she completed the New Zealand leg of her Born This Way world tour.
A consummate professional, she bravely finished the show despite the head injury.
She told the crowd "I want to apologise. I did hit my head and I think I may have concussion but don't you worry, I will finish this show."
IBTimes UK takes a look at other stars who have been injured while performing for their fans.

The Three Generic Strategies
For numerous men and women the 1st interaction they have with a company is through a sterile, lifeless lead gen ad that takes you to a prison landing web page where you are forced to enter in your life's info and you know you will get quickly known as by an overbearing sales rep prior to you are prepared to have that conversation." This was the observation of Bill Macaitis, CMO at Slack. I believe it captures how marketers can be too fixated on site guests only as leads to be generated. They forget about the buyer encounter. They forget to provide an experience worth creating a lead.
The service I advise is offered by AWeber, and you can begin off with only 1 Dollar! And if you are intelligent adequate, you can even resell the service to your personal buyers, which will spend off your subscription and get you a complete new business. Study indicates that low spend or salary is only the fifth on the list of motives why employees modify jobs.
I gave links to the varieties of horses above, but right here is a good search engine for horses. They have very good details and effortless access. Hope it assists! Thanks for the comment! I advise the RHA SA 950i headphones which will entirely rock your socks! The astonishing sound good quality is the equivalent to the Beats Studio by Dr Dre, only with a lighter and more comfy set. Yes they're a lot more affordable also! I have a bit of a diverse view on this. For Massive businesses with lots of advertising dollars to commit, they can do a lot of branding. Sweat the Massive stuff. Save on office space, furnishings, computers, and office gear. However, make positive you spend sufficient on solution development, sales, billing and collection.
This can be avoided if you use color properly, and Pantone color guides are the very best reference manuals for that objective. What sort of box do you want your groceries to come in? Verify out this list of revolutionary packaging designs to get an thought. Right here you will get the chance to work with other international students that share your passion for branding and advertising and marketing. Her demo showed how Yammer could be pinned to the side of a PowerPoint presentation so that you and your colleagues can have a social conversation in and about the document and make edits with each other in actual time. Color- Bay, chesnut, black, yellow, light gray, cream and buckskin. The most common are bay, black and chesnut but some have overo patterns.
Define Deliverables and Objectives. These consist of further revenues, reduced costs, new goods and services, new buyers, new markets, and so on. Color is a definite discomfort in the butt issue when it comes to graphic design and style. The worst factor that can occur to any designer is obtaining a printed colour which is different from that which shows on a laptop screen. There have been a few other thrilling parties but what happens in Vegas gets shared on social media so just appear out for this guy… These glow in the dark glasses from Avanade give me an alter ego for when I went out at night.

Yeah my closet has a ton of those downeast basics "basic" shirts. Boring! I am starting to mix it up though. Remember what Stacy London on "What not to wear" says:
Texture, color, and print.
I think that's what she says.
Oh well.

Color adds to life! Your photographs tell of color even when they monochromatic. Who knows maybe you'll start to wear the wonderful yellow you have on your blog. At least as an accent!

Software undergoes mitosis: Why Twitter's API strategy was brilliant
In the early days of computing, a software application ran on only one hardware system. Software plus hardware was, in effect, a single, tightly coupled computer system.
High-level languages, operating systems, and hardware standards eventually decoupled software from hardware, allowing applications to run on a variety of PCs. What was once a single system had split in two, as if by mitosis. The result was that hardware became a commodity. Microsoft captured value; PC makers saw their margins squeezed.
Today we are seeing another mitosis, this time within software itself. The dividing line now is the public APIs published by companies such as Twitter. Publishing an API decouples features and UI from users and data.
The result: For an online application, publishing an API commoditizes features and UI, without relinquishing ownership of users and data. This is why Twitter's API strategy was brilliant. Twitter focused their resources on the core of the system, retaining strategic, defensible assets while outsourcing non-strategic, indefensible ones.
Twitter's gain from this, virtually for free: a rich variety of client apps, experimenting and competing with UI and features in Darwinian fashion. There was far more experimentation and creativity than could have occurred within the walls of Twitter itself. But now, when it's time for Twitter to own the client and the user relationship (presumably as a critical piece of an ad-based monetization strategy), they can easily acquire popular third-party clients or create their own.
The lesson many Twitter developers are learning: Building clients and "filling holes" on top of a single platform is a fine hobby, but it's not much of a business strategy. The best you can do is build a popular client as a one-man shop (i.e., raising little to no capital) and get acquired, as Loren Brichter did. But there's also a lesson for Internet apps: publish an API and cultivate a developer network. It's a cheap, strategic way to buy a lot of development and innovation.

Book Review | When 'turn the other cheek' comes to life
"On that night, Tuesday, twenty-ninth (29th) January, 2013, I went for a drive with a friend ... . We suddenly realised something went wrong ... . Although I did not see any weapon, I ... instinctively moved to protect myself. There was a loud, dull noise and the car window was shattered ... It was only as we sped off I realised that I was hearing noises, gun shots ... It was only when I felt my face...[when] I felt something warm flowing from my chin did I confirm that I had been hit ... in the face."
(Caron Asgarali recalls the fateful day that changed her life.)
Caron Asgarali tells a wrenchingly gripping tale of violence, trepidation, faith and redemption. From Lion to Lamb is Asgarali's story, a revelation of manifest destiny.
Her words flow with the authenticity, poise and grace of a sage. Moulded by the experience, she wears a new mantle, one of wisdom and patience. Not unlike biblical Job, she never recoils at her debilitation. She is unswerving, the consummate believer.
That her words are divinely driven she is certain, and at the outset, she reveals that much: "Initially I started compiling a story based on the terrible incident in which I was a victim of a violent crime ... . What took me almost a year to compile was retold in about two weeks under God's directive, that it be done using the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount as told in the New Testament, Matthew 5:1-12."
Hers was no longer a story of wretchedness, but one of inspiration, courage and optimism. Of God's succour she is assured.
In the vein of existentialist Victor Frankl, she finds meaning in the bosom of despair.
She writes of her spiritual growth, " I thought I had learnt what surrendering to God meant when my father got ill and eventually passed away. I have come to the realisation that it has far deeper implications."
During her most dire moments, Asgarali teeters between spiritual planes, but she resettles on this sphere. An earthly assignment awaits her.
While Asgarali's religiosity is uncompromising, agnostics will find her work refreshingly novel and highly interpretative. A dye-in-wool, buttoned-down writer she is not.
Surely, we can shoehorn other explanations for her miraculous recovery, but there is no need to. Readers will find her a sympathetic figure, not because of the horror she survived, but because of the disarming quietude and richness of her delivery. An adept raconteur she proves to be.
Asgarali withstands a shattered jaw and the uneasiness of bullet fragments still lodged in her body. And bandaged with tubes protruding from her upper torso, many, she imagined, would have recoiled from her disfigurement. She recounts, "In the beginning those visits must have been very difficult for my friends and family, especially they first they came. To see me with a tube in my neck, the tracheotomy, with a tube through my nose, (the nasogastric or NG) with the IV tube for medication, and with mounds of bandages on my jaws and chin, would have been challenging ... But I think the most formidable obstacle would have been dribbling."
She describes constant oozing of fluids and being unaware of the mess on her person. "I started using rolls and rolls of paper towels, constantly wiping without really knowing if I was or was not wet."
The tragic incident was transformative. Asgarali pens, "At this turning point in my life, everything changed: my perspective on life, my patience level, my tolerance level ... . Everything that seemed so important prior to the crime suddenly faded into the recesses of my mind; the majors of yesterday retreated to the point of inconsequence."
Interestingly, she poses the most meaningful question during the time: Why?
She searchingly asks, "Was it because I had changed the course of my journey? Was it because I was a bad person? What could I have done differently so that this would not have happened? How soon could I start back to teach? Will I be able to speak? What would I eventually look like?"
Remarkably, she surmounts her many fears and is enlightened in the face of affliction. Steadfast in her admonitions she shares the following: "Have empathy and love for those who may be suffering; engage young, be of service to others; be selfless - that is think of others not just yourself, joy comes when we give, be magnanimous, and conquer hurt and anger, doubt and sorrow with love and forgiveness."
From Lion to Lamb is a testament, a pedagogy of faith that raises a slew of enquiries related to life's purpose, predestination, free will, and karma. Moreover, we are moved to ask: When cornered by violence and affliction, how will we respond?
Expectedly, this testimony will elicit widespread praise from the religious, but not unsurprisingly, it will pique the interest of the most inveterate sceptic, if only to make sense of the hail of torments that somehow rain down on the most innocent and undeserving among us.

Whe mini is FW´s Asterion Moloc, chapter master of the Minotaurs, with the minotaurs symbols filed out (pretty hard work, by the way) and painted in carcharodons colours.
There is again the energised weapons effect (damn cell phone and his blurry photos...).
It is a ver nice mini, and very fun to paint, full of nice details and it came perfectly cast so...
A blurry view of the back of the mini.
In this shoulderpad I tried to make kind of a imperial eagle from the minotaurs chapter (although I think I didn´t successed at it)
What do you think?

The top three are unchanged from last time but This Side Of Paradise sneaks in at number four. I've completely revised my opinion of the episode and so far that has been the biggest surprise of my rewatch. I don't think there can be any doubt I prefer Gene L. Coon's flavour of Star Trek. Arena, The Devil In The Dark, and Errand Of Mercy were all written by him. This Side Of Paradise, The Galileo Seven, City On The Edge Of Forever, and The Squire Of Gothos were all produced by him.

OK, assume for the sake of argument that Gen.1:1-2:4a was thought of by
its human author as history - i.e., as an account of things that actually
happened. & assume the same for Gen.2.4b-25.
But what about the final redactor or editor of Genesis - the person
who put these
manifestly different accounts down side by side? Did that person think of the
whole of Gen.1-2 as an accurate account of things that actually happened?
Maybe. But it seems pretty clear that that final editor thought of
history in a way quite different from the assumptions of modern
historiographers -
none of who would simply put two accounts like those together with no
comment on
their differences or attempts at harmonization. But in Genesis there
is simply no
sign of the type of thing that conservative interpreters want to do
in harmonizing
the two accounts. They're just there - take it or leave it.
& this is by no means the only example in the Bible. There
are numerous
examples other examples in the Bible of different accounts of the
same thing which
are not, let us say, easily reeconcilable as straightforward
historical accounts
but are simply set down together without any attempt to clean up the
E.g., in I Sam.16:14-23 Saul has come to know David and "loved him well" but in
16:55-58 he doesn't know him at all.
Now spare me the harmonizations because the point is that those who put
the biblical writings in their final form apparently weren't at all
concerned with
such an activity. They were content to leave such accounts unharmonized. So
perhaps we should consider the possibility that their understanding
of history &
historical writing was quite different from ours.
& lest anyone be put off by my reference to "editors" or
"redactors", note
that my argument does not really depend on these concepts. In fact, if both
Genesis accounts were written by Moses the difference between the
biblical way of
looking at history & ours would, if anything, be even clearer.

I was looking at some old images the other day and came across this one again.
Do you see the swan? So many people don't see him until I point out his eye.
I met this guy in January of 2013 as he "guarded" his lion friend at the Brit Spaugh Zoo in Great Bend, Ks. He was wondering up and down the walkway along side the lion's enclosure and wouldn't let me get to near. Every time I tried to get close to the lion this swan would snap at my ankles and bite my pant leg and monopod. At one point he even held onto my pant leg and tried to pull me away!
I have nicknamed him "The Lion's Guardian". I wonder if he's still hanging around there?

Legendary Weeshie inducted into GAA's Hall of Fame
Kerry radio broadcaster Weeshie Fogarty was honoured by the GAA last week as he was amongst the winners of the Mac Namee Awards
The awards, the GAA National Communication and Media Awards, are named after the late Pádraig MacNamee, former President of the GAA, Chairman of the GAA Commission (1969-1971) and member of RTÉ authority. They are presented annually in recognition of outstanding contributions made by individuals and Association units in the area of media and communications.
Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael, Aogán Ó Fearghail, presented them at a function in Croke Park last Friday. The GAA President offered his congratulations: "The importance of communicating the GAA message has never been greater given the clamour to be heard in an era of simplified communications.
"The GAA story is an extremely positive one and one that needs to be told and I am pleased to acknowledge those who have excelled in this regard this evening.
"As methods of communication and journalism continue to evolve I am pleased to laud the examples of best practice that are being honoured this evening and I congratulate all within the organisation who give this the attention it not only deserves but requires."
Winners: 2015 Hall of Fame Award – Weeshie Fogarty, Radio Kerry
Weeshie Fogarty started work in St Finan's Hospital in Killarney in 1962 and worked there as a psychiatric nurse for 38 years. He played for the hospital team and when the club were no longer able to field a team, he returned to the Legion club in the town. He won Kerry County Championship medals with divisional team East Kerry and was in the East Kerry panel that beat Bryansford of Down to win the first All- Ireland club football final, here at Croke Park in November 1971. (After that final it was decided that divisional teams would not be allowed to play in the club championship).
Weeshie also played senior football for Kerry and when his playing career was over, he turned to refereeing and became one of the leading inter-county referees in the country, taking charge of three all All-Ireland football semifinals. However, for younger GAA supporters 'Weeshie' as he is popularly known is probably best known for his insightful analysis on Radio Kerry and his engaging Monday evening 'Terrace Talk' programme on the same station. He has interviewed all the Kerry legends and many GAA stars from outside the county also.
Weeshie also published his life story in a book appropriately named 'My Beautiful Obsession, Chasing the Kerry Dream.'

This article by Marie Crow (above) captures the very essence of the GAA in a poignant yet beautiful piece that encompasses untold grief, community spirit and indomitable sporting courage. The role that the Association can play at grassroots level in times of adversity has long been recognised and in this respect the author paints a vivid picture of the support, comfort and encouragement it has to offer.
The strong focus, too, on how tragedy and triumph can often walk hand in hand is portrayed in a manner that is both sensitive and beguiling.

Ice Cream Cone Birthday PartyAugust 25, 2015
My baby turned eight last week and we had a fun celebration for her. What could be better than a pool party, a piñata and some sweet treats to celebrate? Each year I let her choose her theme and then we plan her small party together. I love that birthdays at this age are equally as exciting as Christmas. I especially enjoyed this party as I think it may be the last one where we have a piñata for her. (In case you want to see her previous parties- swan party, kokeshi doll party) Let me give you the tour. Let's start with the cake-
Who wouldn't be happy with a huge piñata like this?! Thanks to Little Miss A's sweet grandparents who always have the piñatas custom made in Mexico for her. A birthday party in this home is only a real party when we have one of Unique Party's birthday cakes. If you are a regular reader then you know Paola is my go-to for beautiful and delicious cakes. If you live in Dallas I highly recommend her as she is so talented and wonderful to work with. The vanilla version with dulce de leche filling is my all-time favorite. I always look forward to indulging this one time a year in such sweet yumminess. Through Mackenzie's Instagram I learned about the Highland Park Pie Lady. She made the adorable ice cream shaped cookies. They were divine and so beautiful. Everyone loved them! Most of my party supplies were from my favorite one-stop chic party supply store Via Blossom. I got the cute ice cream honeycombs and ice cream cups from there. The table runner was cobbled out of some leftover fabric and pompoms I had laying around. The ice cream cone inflatables served as colorful decor for the pool as well as the perfect favor for the little girls to take home.
And voila! There you have a little taste of Little Miss A's magical world. I sure wish it lasts her a lifetime.

If you want your start-up to become the next big thing, it's not good enough to just build a great product. Unless you can afford to buy users, you'll have to grow virally.
The difference between getting one of your new users to convince one friend to sign up and that person getting two new friends, is huge. Assuming you start with 1,000 new users, after 9 months, it's the difference between having 9,000 users and 511,000 users!
Below are 9 ways your start-up can grow virally:
Get Your Users to Spread the Word
- Get users to tell others about your app simply by using it. This is probably the best on this list and one of the hardest to achieve. It's generally true of communication and content-creation apps.
- Tumblr. People create their tumblrs and link to to it on their email signatures and Facebook and Twitter profiles. When those visitors come, at the top of each tumblr page, is a pitch for the visitor to "Join Tumblr".
- About.Me. Users can create beautiful landing pages for themselves. Like Tumblr, they link to their about.me pages on their social media profiles. But, as you'll see below, there's a reason why Tumblr has grown much faster than About.Me.
- Get users to push content they create on your app to Facebook, Twitter. This is a recent and huge phenomenon. However, users won't just push any content they create, just content that they are proud of or think their friends will find interesting.
- Instagram. Probably the best example of a site taking advantage of this trend by enabling their users to take beautiful pictures which they then share on Facebook, Twitter.
- Foursquare. People want to tell their friends where they are, especially at high-profile locations like sporting events and music concerts.
- Tumblr. When people create a new post, they share it on Facebook/Twitter.
- Get users to generate content that you optimize for search engines. While this isn't traditionally thought of as a viral growth strategy, it's very important. Millions of potential new users are searching on Google and, if your users create content that addresses these search needs, you'll be able to pitch those searches to join your service.
- Wikipedia. Probably the best example of this. Wikipedia users create massive amounts of really strong content that Google searchers access every day.
- Yelp. Did an amazing job of turning local business reviews into great business listing pages that Google often places at the top of their search results.
- Quora and StackOverflow. Users answer questions that are then presented on Google search results for the millions of people asking those same questions.
- Make it in your users's best interest to invite their friends. If your strategy is to ask users to invite their friends just because, they won't.
- Twitter. By giving every user a follower number, it encouraged people to tell others to "follow them on Twitter" including many users that hadn't yet signed-up for Twitter. Twitter also became a way to retain fans so that they could push content to them at a later date. The same dynamic applies to Facebook pages.
- Kickstarter. When people create their Kickstarter project, they email all of their friends and families to contribute to the project.
- Groupon and Gilt. Since both services have a high-enough user value, they can afford to give their users a referral credit for telling their friends.
- Dropbox. Gives users extra memory for their dropboxes in exchange for inviting friends.
- Get celebrities to use your app. Celebrities have huge followings. Early Facebook didn't take advantage of this as it was all about just your friends but, with fan pages, they have tapped into this strategy.
- Twitter. Twitter has done an amazing job of courting celebrities to use their service with some of the most high profile celebrities having millions of followers.
- MySpace. While they have done many things wrong since, they created THE page where bands resided online and, with bands, came their legions of fans.
- Get content created on your app to be newsworthy. If the content created on your app becomes interesting for journalists to cover, you can tap into something more valuable than traditional PR.
- Twitter. Celebrities are constantly tweeting things they shouldn't and journalists have a field day every time it happens.
- Kickstarter. Successful projects on Kickstarter like the Robocop statue in Detroit transcend the service and are covered by journalists and bloggers.
- Groupon/Living Social. Whether it's Amazon, Whole Foods or GAP, these deals will get covered by journalists.
Increasing Conversion
- Adjust your product to become more mainstream. It won't help much to have all your users constantly telling everyone about your service but most people aren't interested. If you want to reach millions of users, millions of people have to potentially want your product. For instance, About.Me has very strong viral potential (as described above) but not everyone wants their own about.me page (at least not yet) and so their conversion rate suffers.
- Instagram. This could have a been a niche product but by making it so easy that even an absolute beginner could take a beautiful picture, it went from a niche to a mainstream product.
- Tumblr. Blogging platforms have been around for a while but Tumblr makes it so easy to blog that they've been able to convert many from non-bloggers to create a Tumblr.
- Get your users to use your app everyday. The more your users visit your app, the more likely they are to invite their friends, create content, etc. A great example of this struggle is Plancast which, while being a product that created content, it wasn't content that was created everyday.
- Groupon and Gilt. Because there's new content every day, they email their users everyday.
- Optimize your sign-up and referral funnels. If you are getting one extra user a month and optimize your landing page and referral funnels, you'll cross over into viral territory. It's not uncommon to see conversion rates double after a few optimization experiments. (At Yipit, we use Google Website Optimizer).
Building a great product is only half the battle. Take the time to think through how you can build in as many viral growth opportunities. It's worth the effort to go from linear to exponential growth.

Acquiring critique partners is a valuable method of learning to write better. Not only do I learn from what my crit partners have to say about my work, but I learn just as much, maybe more, from critiquing their work.
Crit partners sometimes take time to nurture into what you need. One, the writer has to learn how to communicate what he / she wants in feedback and, two, the critiquer has to learn how to effectively convey their feedback to the writer.
I think the first rule of critique is respect. The work you're reading, someone poured their time and soul into the piece. Adhere to what the writer asks for. Point out what the writer does well and gets right as well as where they could use improvement. Remember, it's only your opinion. The writer is free to choose whether to take the advice or not.
Honesty is a crucial ingredient, too. It can be tough to hear, but is essential for the writer's growth. It's better to hear it from your crit partners than in a review. Feedback should be given from a good place and attitude -- I want to help you succeed.
Trust is another key ingredient. Critiquing should stay within the group. If you must bellyache to someone, that's what spouses, significant others and pets exist for. No matter how annoyed you may be with a partner at first, when you calm down, you'll probably find something constructive you can use in what was said. I find that is pretty much always the case. Sure, there are people out there that want to rip you to shreds for the pleasure of it. This is the type of crit partner you need to step away from. There should be support and encouragement with the feedback.
Generally attacking a work without specificity is wrong. It just frustrates the writer as he / she tries to figure out what you're talking about. There's so much to keep track of, that sort of comment is throwing more leaves onto the trees in the forest the writer can't see through and does nothing for him / her. For example, generally telling a partner he or she is often vague is not very helpful. You need to point out where and suggest how to fix it. Vague critique is not constructive and may make your partners want to kick your ass. :-O Sending in scribblings you wrote on your lunch bag with a sharpie will also make them want to kick your ass. It comes down to the first rule, be respectful.
I have two critique groups. One I meet with locally face-to-face who write in different genres. And, another online who write in my genre. Taking the feedback online is easier than face-to-face. It's easier to be honest in email. However, hearing everyone else's feedback of all work is also a useful tool. And holding interest of those not interested in your genre is a good test. Plus, face-to-face we've learned to communicate with each other more effectively over time. And we've learned not to hold back. Some meetings I feel bruised afterward, but it's all good. They make me better.
It is all suggestion. As the critiquer, keep that in mind. And, your partner is depending on you to help him / her improve. Only in critique does a writer truly want honesty. If you don't want honesty, you're not ready for critique.
I consider critique one of the most powerful tools in my arsenal in learning to hone my craft. And, bonus, I get to read awesome stories by awesome writers. It takes a village to write a novel.
All my love and thanks to Dennis, Julie, Cleo, Mike, Lynda, Misha and Tony. Gary, miss ya. I'm better and stronger because of all of you. Thanks a million times over.
So what are your feelings on what makes 'successful' critique?

PS -- as if having a coffee crisis wasn't bad enough, now there's an internet crisis. Bet you've heard me screaming this week. Don't know what the deal is. Replaced the modem and it went out again. Then TV channels went out. Cable guy is coming today. I hope he fixes it or I might have to kick somebody. Yes, I have discovered a worse hell than coffee tragedies ... internet tragedies. Hope you all have a great weekend.
