Recruits show little concern over A&M's choice of conference
For the fans and the high-finance guys, Texas A&M's seemingly imminent move from the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference represents a cataclysmic change, a historic new course for the university's athletic program.
Yet for several future Aggies, current high school seniors who have already verbally committed to becoming part of football coach Mike Sherman's highly regarded incoming freshman class of 2012, it doesn't appear to be such a big deal.
The SEC's storied reputation notwithstanding, the Texas A&M recruits sound nonplussed, or even blasé. Galena Park's Tyrone Taylor, in fact, said he had only recently become aware of the SEC move, never mind that his brother, Tyrell, is a freshman linebacker at A&M this season.
"I signed with them to play in the Big 12," Taylor said, "but (the conference) doesn't much matter to me. I picked A&M because of the school, and I'm still going there, no matter what happens."
South Houston defensive back Kenneth Marshall confessed he didn't know a lot about the SEC's vaunted reputation. But while the powerhouse conference has claimed five consecutive BCS national championships and six in the last eight years, Marshall suggests the Aggies are bringing plenty to the table themselves.
"I signed with A&M because of their history, their tradition," he said. "I'm an Aggie. I'm down for whatever (Texas A&M) is down for. I'm going to play whoever lines up in front of me."
117 and dying?
But regrets were expressed on one count. To be an Aggie is to have a visceral need to beat the University of Texas, and the 117-year-old rivalry that dates to 1894 is imperiled with the schools apparently heading in opposite directions.
"I really want to play Texas," said Dekaney running back Trey Williams, one of A&M's most prized catches. "They've been so wrong in what they're doing."
A sentiment a future teammate, Klein Forest quarterback Matt Davis, emphatically seconded.
"I'll be really, really upset (to not face Texas)," Davis said. "Especially now with what's happening and all the trash talking we're hearing from their recruits in the media about me and our (recruiting) class. I'd love to play them."
But Davis also finds the prospect of taking on the giants of the SEC compelling.
"It's definitely exciting," he said. "The SEC is the best conference in the (country). I'm looking forward to competing against those teams, to being up to the test. The type of athletes they've got … they're the biggest, the fastest, the strongest."
Dekaney's Williams insisted conference affiliation wasn't a high priority for him.
"I'm just going to A&M to get an education and play the sport I love," he said. "I want to compete against the best, so if (the SEC) is the best, that's good."
Mixed feelings
The players' coaches had varied reactions to the Aggies' plans. Galena Park's Ray Zepeda, a 1993 A&M graduate himself, owns up to having mixed feelings.
"I would hope we would continue to play Texas and keep some of the other traditional rivalries," Zepeda said. "But in the SEC, you're talking about the most competitive conference in the nation. From a recruiting standpoint, it's going to provide A&M with some advantages they don't currently have. This is one way for them to set themselves apart. If they can make a move that will help solidify their future, I don't see how you can turn that down.
Three of Glen West's Brenham Cubs are headed up the road to A&M. West turned 50 this week, making him old enough to already have lamented the breakup of the Southwest Conference - never mind the Big 12. He says it's "really strange to think of Texas and Texas A&M being in two different leagues" but calls the prospect of the Aggies' bringing Alabama, Auburn, Florida and LSU, et al., to the neighborhood "awfully exciting."
Meanwhile, Hightower's Barry Abercrombie (whose quarterback, Bralon Addison, is going to A&M as a wide receiver) believes the Aggies are joining a conference "with a bad math problem.
"Ten of those teams," he said, "think they're all going to win 10 games every year. When they don't, coaches get fired and fans get upset. Are the Aggies ready to be part of that? We'll see."
C. L. Whittington, Marshall's coach at South Houston, has no opinion on the Aggies' move except to say, "You hope everything goes well for them. As a (high school) coach, you're just happy to give your kids an opportunity to play ball somewhere and get an education."

The world has changed. People have changed. You have changed. So look at life anew again and you'll find greater connection. Continue reading How To Have Good Mojo


text: Hi everyone, Tesla virgin here. Looking forward to placing a reservation for a Model 3 next Thursday. I've spent a lot of time recently over in the Model 3 sub-forum, and I and a number of other people have thrown around a lot of ideas as for how many current Tesla owners intend to not only reserve but purchase a Model 3. I tried to poll the group who visits the Model 3 sub-forum but realized that was just about the most unbiased sample set I could find, so I thought I'd try again here, in the busiest sub-forum on TMC - one fueled by current Tesla owners. For the edification of all of us who don't currently own a Tesla but hope to someday (soon, hopefully) own a model 3, I put to you Roadster/Model S/X owners a simple question: Do you plan to not only reserve but PURCHASE a Model 3? Please contribute to the poll only if you currently own a Tesla. I look forward to sharing the results with other members of this community.

Valluvan Kadavu has gained world-wide attention among temples similar to this. Sri Muthappan who is the worshipable diety of common people has always remained the hope of poor people. Valluvan Kadav temple's importance is the result of the revelation of Muthappan to the gods. We have started the work on temple complex a few year ago with the land regained from the previous owners. By the blessings , initial work of the temple has been completed within the stipulated time. We have taken into consideration the different traditional and modern arts in the temple construction and sculptural works Due to divine blessings, the temple activities improved nicely more than what was expected to be done.
Facilities such as accommodation, resting place for the devotee families have been completed. With river side scenic beauty, the blessed Valluvan Kadavu is geared to make further improvement. Local people participate in the pious activities as part of their life, looking forward to a generation of peity. The predecessors having kept the good wishes of Gods have taken the popularity of the temple across the Ocean. The temple complex which gives prosperity to the land and the people is set for further advancement. Transportation facilities have also to be improved.In the past, agricultural and animal husbandry and fishing were the activities that people were involved in. Farming connected with Valluvan Kadavu had a prosperous past. Along the river bank ,there were highly cultured people and water transport ation was the only mode of transportation available at that time.. Having regard to all the traditions, we are moving head.
In general,there is a revival of devotion and faith in the public especially in the youth. This new change is visible in Valluvan Kadavu also. In this age of Kali, giving up madness, greed and growing up in good association, one can achieve greater heights. This achievement has been tried to bring consolation to the good hearted people.In the busy and troubled world, facilities are there for all to take Darshan and blessing s of Lord Muthappan at Valluvan Kadavu and at any time to get relief from troubles. Many devotees are fully convinced that they have achieved mental relief from tribulations.
It should also be noted that Muthappan temples behold Narayana Guru's devine vision that anyone can visit the temple without discrimination of cast, religion or any prescribed rules. Today temple related activities are being carried out on schedule. Many facilities have been provided around the temple. Nata pandal is nearing completion. Prasadam Hall, Wedding Hall and Prayer Hall are in the planning stage. There is no doubt that Valluvan Kadavu will be transformed into a social, cultural, spiritual or educational center.
When one more festival takes place there will be a good feeling that things have been accomplished coupled with the fact that many more responsibilities are not manifested.

I have hung my lute on the wall
And tied it with a green ribbon
I don't sing my songs any more;
my heart is so full that I can't find the words.
Once my longing and loneliness poured out in song
But now my joy is so great that no sound can contain it.
Now rest here, my lute
And when the wind stirs your strings
I wonder, Is it the final echo of my songs
Or the prelude of more songs to come?
A paraphrase of a beautiful song from Schubert's Die Schone Mullerin. And a rather appropriate description of why there have been so few posts over the last month or so…

I've always had a proclivity for getting into trouble – even when I technically did nothing wrong. As a result, I made more than my fair share of trips to the Principal's Office in my school days. The first time was in Kindergarten. Yep, I started early.
It was the first fire drill of the year. The fire alarm sounded and the teacher, Mrs. Dietrich, lined us up at the door. I was next to last with my friend Doug behind me. After we all were ready, the teacher opened the door and told us to follow the person in front of us. Then we filed out the door into the hall. Things went well until we reached the main hallway. With two classes each of Kindergarten through third grade, a lot of kids filled up the place, all of them bigger than me - and taller. Pushing and shoving the students mingled together and not being able to see over anyone, I got lost among the crowd. My friend and I were left standing still in a hall full of people, all seemingly going different directions.
Knowing there was no way to find my class, I said to Doug that if the building was on fire the most important thing was to get out, not find our classmates. He agreed. So, we fell in line with the nearest class and followed them out the door. Several minutes later (longer than usual I discovered), the bell rang to let us know we could return to our classrooms. Feeling proud of ourselves for solving our problem and finding our way safely out of the building, my friend and I returned to our class. The instant we walked in, we knew we were in trouble. The look on the Mrs. Dietrich's face told us she was upset before she even spoke. When she did speak, it was to tell us to report to the Principal's Office immediately. We did, but all the way, I was wondering what exactly the problem was. We had gotten out of the building. And, we had returned safe and sound to class.
Arriving at the Principal's Office, he enlightened me. We suffered through a short lecture about how the school was responsible for our well-being and how when we weren't present for roll call with our class it was cause for alarm – and not just a fire alarm. Mrs. Dietrich had reported us as missing and that was the reason for the extended stay outside. He said if this had been an actual fire, we could have endangered the lives of the firemen who would have had to come look for us. I think the idea was to either make us feel bad or scared - perhaps both.
Always willing to argue the finer points of logic, even at age five, I finally spoke up. I explained that we'd become lost and couldn't see over the bigger kids. And that since we couldn't find our classmates we'd followed the other class outside. I also pointed out that this wasn't an actual fire so, even if we hadn't gotten out of the school we would have been safe. The Principal wasn't impressed. I then played my trump card. If my teacher had reported us as missing because we weren't present for roll call, why hadn't they immediately figured out where we were when the other teacher reported two extra kids with her class? I still remember the look on the Principal's face as he told us to return to class.
I heard later that the other teacher had gotten in a little hot water for not discovering us with her group. It hadn't been my intention to get her in trouble – just to get me out of trouble. Still, I was a bit amused by it all. Over the years, I was sent to the Principal's Office many more times, some deserved some undeserved. Thanks to the practice I'd had in Kindergarten, I argued every single time – usually successfully. The last time I made my grand entrance was my final year of High School. I had taken the liberty of retrieving some personal property from the trash. Personal property that the teacher had thrown away. It wasn't even mine but I didn't think the teacher should have taken the perfume from the girl so I marched right into the teacher's lounge and took it back.
How was I able to get inside the teacher's lounge? It was easy; I waited until everyone else was outside - for a fire drill.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - J.C. Penney Co Inc (JCP.N) chief Ron Johnson knew before doing a deal with Martha Stewart that it would create a conflict with rival Macy's Inc (M.N), which already had a relationship with her.
Johnson was testifying in New York state court on Friday in proceedings brought by Macy's against his company and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc MSO.N over their proposed deal.
The chief executive wrung his hands as a lawyer for Macy's grilled him over an email he wrote to a board member saying Martha Stewart would have to "break" her agreement with Macy's if he was going to "pull off" a deal with her.
Macy's sued Martha Stewart Living and J.C. Penney after the they announced plans in December 2011 to launch Martha Stewart boutiques in about 700 J.C. Penney department stores. The boutiques are part of Johnson's strategy to re-invent the 102-year-old retailer, which released dismal holiday shopping season results on Thursday.
Macy's claims that, by signing a deal with J.C. Penney, MSLO breached its contract to sell products in certain categories such as cookware, bedding and bath items, exclusively at Macy's.
A non-jury trial is underway before Justice Jeffrey Oing in New York state court in Manhattan.
Johnson testified he got the idea for putting Martha Stewart in J.C. Penney stores when he read in the spring of 2011 that her company had hired the Blackstone Group to evaluate opportunities. He believed Martha Stewart's influence on home goods was greater than the influence of any designer on the apparel industry.
Theodore Grossman, representing Macy's, asked Johnson about an August 14, 2011, email he sent to J.C. Penney board member Steven Roth, whose Vornado Realty is Penney's second-largest shareholder. Roth had said in an earlier email that Martha Stewart's exclusive deal with Macy's would be a "major impediment."
"Martha could be the foundation of a reinvented home," Johnson wrote in the email. "Macy's deal is key. We need to find a way to break the renewal right."
Johnson said that "break" did not exactly mean breaking the contract.
"I knew there would have to be an amendment ... for us to do what we wanted," Johnson told the court. "The word 'break' meant there would have to be a change ... for us to carry the products" in certain categories.
Johnson also used the word "break" in an August 17, 2011, email to a Penney executive.
"I need to propose a deal so she can go to Terry L at Macy's and break their agreement," he wrote. "That is the only issue in the way of success at this point."
Terry Lundgren, the chief executive of Macy's, testified in the trial on Monday that when Martha Stewart told him the night before the public announcement that she was starting an alliance with his rival, he hung up the telephone and has not spoken to her since.
Martha Stewart is Macy's No. 1 brand of home goods, Lundgren testified. Sales increased 8 percent last year, twice that of Macy's as a whole, Lundgren said.
A key issue in the trial is whether the proposed Martha Stewart shops to be set up inside J.C. Penney stores are considered Martha Stewart stores. Under its contract with Macy's, Martha Stewart Living can sell product categories that are now exclusive to Macy's if MSLO opens its own stores. Macy's says the proposed boutiques at J.C. Penney are not the same as standalone stores.
Martha Stewart is expected to take the stand on Tuesday.
The testimony capped off a tough week for Johnson and J.C. Penney. After Penney shares plunged 17 percent on Thursday, analysts forecast Johnson will have until back-to-school season in August to show he has put the retailer on the right road.
The cases are Macy's Inc v. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc, 650297/2012, and Macy's Inc v. J.C. Penney Corp, 652861/2012, New York State Supreme Court, New York County.

Much have been said about the capacity crowd at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium that watched Nigeria's 1-1 draw against Egypt with the only omission being the efforts of the president of the NFF to control the crowd which went a long way in preventing any form of chaos or stampede.
Amaju Pinnick came into the stadium one hour to the game but instead of taking his seat in the VIP section the NFF supremo headed straight to the fans gathered on the athletic track of the stadium in front of the perimeter fencing.
The Stadium which originally seats 25,000 had about 50,000 people in attendance and Pinnick showed his crowd control skills by pleading and even knelling to the fans to move backward which they did as oppose to the use of force the security operatives were earlier using to no avail.
Pinnick didn't stop there he ensured the standing crowd were barricaded by security operatives to stop them from going close to the substitute bench of the Egyptians and his smart appeal to those who have no seat and where to stand bar the stadium track made them walk out of the stadium.
After the game he also ensured they were easily safely and gently vacated from the stadium and once again not with force which would have brought out some resistance but with cajoling and pep talks.
His use of words and not force went a long way in keeping the capacity crowd calm before,during and after the game.

God forbid any of us have to face the test of choosing to side with the Law (I don't mean legislation; I mean the difference between right and wrong) or side with our blood relations. Throughout human history many people have taken the wrong path when faced with such a decision giving us a legacy of tribalism and blood feuds.
In this case there is nothing so dramatic, but the principle is the same. According to the Guns Save Lives blog,
The family of an armed robber is speaking out after surveillance video was released of their family member committing an armed robbery.
On the video Dante Williams is clearly seen entering a South Carolina Waffle House, pointing a gun at employees and customers and attempting to rob the restaurant.
Justin Harrison was eating at the bar. Harrison, a concealed carry permit holder, was armed. He waited for an opportunity, shot Williams, and attempted to detain the second suspect.
The family of Williams says that Harrison didn't need to shoot and shouldn't have felt threatened. They want to change South Carolina's carry permit laws to require more training in order to get a permit. Many gun rights activists consider time consuming and costly training requirements to be a burden on their Second Amendment rights.
My condolences to the family of Dante Williams for losing a loved one. It sounds like they knew a part of Williams' life that is quite different from what we see on the video. Of course, it is equally true that they never saw a part of Williams' life that was quite significant and that eventually brought him to his death. Williams seem to have kept hidden part of his life from his loved ones. It is a tragedy he was not more honest with them so that they could have helped him put that world of violent plunder away from him.
But I hope that they will stop making threats against a hero who defended himself and everyone around him. Everyone following the path of Dante Williams needs to know that the moment you take up a gun as a means of gaining for yourself by robbery you are on the path to an early grave. You lose your right to demand the protection of your own life the moment you start threatening the lives of others.
Getting trained when you acquire a gun makes great sense. But it is up to the gun owner to decide for himself. It is not right for the state to impede gun ownership by requiring gun training.

Well, to be honest I try to keep my very, very, very small piece of it in order. And somewhat Green, I did change all the bulbs in the house to the long lasting one. We also recycle. So that's my bit.
Pakistan. The hens have come home to roost. The Taliban are hours from Islamabad, and are threatening to take over a country that has access to nuclear weapons. How much money did we give these people to deal with the Taliban? Billions, all that money was spent fending off a ridiculous fear of India. The Pakistan government has left their flank unguarded, and regardless of what the Ambassador from Pakistan says the devil is loose in his country and they are doing very little to control it.
Today the Acting Freddie Mac CFO David Kellerman was found dead in his home. He had hung himself, and the police said there was no evidence of foul play. People, who chose to end their lives, typically do it out of sickness or terrible sense of impending doom. For Mr. Kellerman there are no ready answers as to why he chose to hang himself. His family I'm sure is turning over memories trying find the answer. There are no answers in the past, grieve and find a way to live again.
The Supreme Court today heard a case where a thirteen year girl was stripped searched by the administration of her school. The reason was that they had heard she had drugs in her possession (ibuprofen). Afterwards the news leaked to the rest of the school. This created unbearable situation for the young girl to continue going to school there. Her parents in turn sued the school district. I read the reactions of the male justices as describe by a reporter for the Washington Post: they came across cavalier, even finding humor in the girl's situation. Justice Ginsburg was just a bit frustrated with the behavior of her colleagues. But what you expect these are all old men, and in fact were probably reliving old high school memories (Eww). This case shows the current and any future administration the urgent need to make sure there is equal representation on the Court of men and women. The case has yet to be decided.
President Obama will be marking his 100 day soon in office. Yes, and soon you will have his report card. I wonder if he'll have to go to summer school.

When they visited Chicago's Broadway Playhouse, twin brothers Jalan and Jaymel Brackens received a preview of the exciting arts experience that awaits their classmates this fall.
The boys were there to see "Charlotte's Web", the latest children's production from The Emerald City Theatre – a local nonprofit that seeks to inspire a love of reading among low-income students through donations of books and theatrical productions. Jalan and Jaymel represented Crown Academy, one of 21 CPS schools to receive One Fund Awards from Emerald City in 2014.
"The boys were thrilled to attend the event, and even more excited to ride on the elevator and walk around Water Tower Place," said Martha Williams, the school counselor from Crown who applied for the One Fund Award. "This was their first trip to the Magnificent Mile, and they truly enjoyed the performance. They were proud of themselves for being chosen to represent Crown."
In her application for the One Fund Award, Martha noted that many of her students come from low-income households where access to literature is a challenge. "The One Fund program offers so many of our students an opportunity to see wonderful literacy-based productions and delve deeper into the pages of stories they have heard", she wrote.
As a result of this application, 177 of Crown's students will take a field trip this fall to see a stage production at the Apollo Theater. Such field trips are one of three ways Emerald City provides arts education to schools, the others being in-school theater performances and week-long theater residencies. With the support of their partner, KPMG, Emerald City will also provide new books to over 6,000 CPS students in 2014.
"The book that One Fund provides supplies such joy, for it's a book each child can call his or her own," said Martha. "What better way for our students to get excited about reading then by owning their very own book?"
This year, Emerald City also presented the CPS Arts Department with the inaugural One Fund Arts Education Award, recognizing the District's commitment to providing a high-quality arts education to every student. This award comes on the heels of CPS' new Arts Education Plan, which provides sweeping new vision for making the arts a core subject for students in grades Pre-K–12.
For three years, Emerald City Theatre has been bringing free books and free theater productions to CPS, positively impacting the lives of over 16,000 children. In 2014 alone, they will provide these experiences to 6,357 students in 21 schools, inspiring a love of reading through play.
"Our One Fund Committee reviewed 84 applications representing 55,000 CPS students," said Karen Cardarelli, Executive Director and cofounder of Emerald City Theatre. "The 21 winning schools are an impressive bunch who conveyed extraordinary dedication and passion and are committed to improving literacy among their students."
For Crown Academy, receiving the One Fund Award means a chance to further its overall mission, which is celebrating literacy across all content areas.
"As the school counselor, I am so very grateful for the opportunity our entire primary population will have to see a stage production and receive a new book," said Martha Williams. "It is a pleasure to work with an organization that strongly supports literacy and wants to inspire early learners through play and reading."

Halimbawa kung noong 1948, ay Pilipinas ang pinili na lugar para magmigrate ang milyon na Jews mula europe na biktima ng persecution at holocaust.. papayag ba kayo?
Katulad ng mga Palestinians papayag siguro tayo, dahil maawin din tayo.
Halimbawa dahil nakaplano pala silang mang-agaw at sa dami na ng jews na pumasok ay dahan-dahan na nila tayong tinataboy, at inaangkin ang ating lupain at ari-arian. at ang ayaw aalis ay papatayin, bata, matanda at mga babae katulad ng ginawa nila sa deir yassin massacre?
Halimbawa dahil hindi natin napaghandaan (dahil hindi natin alam na ang pagiging refugee pala ay balatkayo lamang pero ang totoong plano ng mga Jews ay agawin ang bansa natin) natalo tayo sa civil war at buong Pilpinas ay inangkin nila.
The Holy Month of Ramadhan
By Professor Henry Francis B. Espiritu
UP College Cebu City
The holy month of Ramadhan is an auspicious time to be grateful to Allah for giving us another opportunity to observe fasting and gain the benefits from this spiritual exercise. In His divine wisdom, Allah, who is the Lord of both our bodies and spirits, prescribed a spiritual exercise specifically for our benefit so that through this practice of fasting, we can gradually deny gratifications that are even lawful, such as eating and drinking from dawn to sundown, so our spirits will be strong to firmly deny all sinful and unlawful acts. Ramadhan fasting is established by our Beloved Allah for our own good. He establishes fasting not out of caprice or of unreasonable whim. The Holy Qur'an clearly declares the very purpose of fasting during this holy month: "Oh thou who believest, fasting is prescribed for thee, as it was prescribed for those before thee, so that thou may guard (thy minds and hearts) from the evil (coming from thy 'self')" (Surah Baqarah 2:183). From this holy verse, we can see
Ang Tambuli- is the official Newsletter of ACFIL, started last 2002 up to the present to form and inform the Filipinos in the region regarding the political, social & migration issues especially to those who have the difficulty in comprehending the Italian language.

Moro leaders must unite for peace
by Susan Ople
Do you see a glass half-full or half-empty? For the peace talks in Mindanao, a lot depends on whose table that glass happens to be. If you talk to the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), the peace agreement between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Philippine government (GPH) is a prescription to war in Mindanao. A faction of the Moro National Liberation Front that identified with Chairman Nur Misuari has found common cause with the BIFF and has called for "Kosovo-style" of democratic assemblies against the latest peace pact.
Peace is not without its "enemies" because its virtues have recently been closely associated with the MILF, an 11,000-strong rebel group in Mindanao that has successfully concluded what shall soon be known as a comprehensive agreement on the Bangsamoro. MILF chief peace negotiator Mohagher Iqbal has repeatedly said that it was only by accident that he headed the panel. The peace agreements that have been signed with the Philippine government are for the benefit of all stakeholders in the Bangsamoro, Iqbal said.

POEA cancels license of overcharging recruitment agency
News Release from poea.gov.ph
2 May 2013
The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration recently cancelled the license of Lifeline International Philippines, Inc. for collecting excessive placement fee from an applicant for a job in Taiwan.
Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac said the applicant complained that Lifeline International asked him to pay PhP120,000 as placement fee. He was able to pay PhP50,000 but was not issued a receipt.
Cacdac said the amount required by the agency or the money actually paid by the applicant was way bigger than the prevailing wage of PhP27,000.00 in Taiwan. POEA rules limit the payment of placement fee to an amount equivalent to one month salary of the worker.

Team, sino sa inyo ang makapagpaliwanag kung papano mapauwi itong mga OFWs na nagkampo sa labas ng Jeddah Consulate?
Sa mga katulong na takas na walang anak, sa SSWA lang yan. So madali yan makauwi dahil sa SSWA ay ma-inform lang nila ang employer and if hindi ito magreport within 45 days ay uwi na ang katulong na nasa kanila. Ang problema kung ang SSWA sa Jeddah ay katulad ba sa SSWA sa ibang lugar. Aware kasi ang Saudi Government na ang karamihan sa mga takas dyan sa Jeddah ay galing sa iba't-ibang lugar ng Saudi Arabia. Dahil nyan ay maaring iba ang proceso ng SSWA ng Jeddah.

Brit-rock Men's hairstyle : hair trend for 2011 / 2012
There is a male hairdresser not to leave the podium in awhile: hairstyle slightly uncharacterised, slightly reckless radical ahead for men. He was called many a thing, but with its connotations of Regency and the fact that continues to be favored and is interpreted by many as a British indie band, a hair doubled your hair Brit-rock.
It is also a hairdressing salon with duration appeal and as we speak on this subject since 2009, we must make it clear that it evolved. "wet look", 2010, for example, it will look positively antiquated in 2012 for example.
Definition of hair of Brit rock
The image above it is likely that he gave a clear idea of what is Hat and Brit rock as you can about a thousand words, here some:
Hats Brit rock is a style of invaders swept hair for boys that gives them a margin. It must be with confidence and bitterness. British is not necessarily nor necessarily the area of rockers, but what is legal.?
Adapted for children to go straight to curly hair, hair rock Brit are all a matter of previous length. It is also textured. This structure may be a feature of his hair, or can come courtesy of hair introduced many razoring, cut and trim cut point.
Examples of hairdresser indie
This duplication of Rock "Brit" hats for 2011 and 2012 may seem with this weight unfairly as only using a certain kind of guy. And indeed it should not. There is no male strip of hair which will work for all, it is not a hair style that will only work for the British man. Or rockers. Not only is that groups of Great Britain and the British brand Burberry Prorsum could do more to publicize this margin of hair of another person; He has a great deal that led to the musicians of the equation that could almost call this loss of hair 2011 for Burberry in the spring of 2012.
The versions of the Burberry Brit rock has become popular then? The following:
This raked Cap interpretation is one that could be considered a modern update on the Beatles. It has a strip of analysis with the length of the sides and works best for children with straight hair. This style can be fairly even cut or square cut on the sides to increase their sense of masculinity. Because it is for straight hair, whereas it is necessary to have random lengths to create textures and out of the weight is very powerful. Your hairdresser will be able to Division or depth to create irregular lengths.
If you're looking for examples outside the gateway, we recommend any number of British band. In fact, if we look at the bands set out from the British Isles seems to some government edict was issued to dictate exactly what indie hats are allowed and which aren't. According to the edict of the self same is imaginary people such as The Kooks, the horrors, Arctic Monkeys, The View and the horns. If you have: this requires the hairstyle for if you like or play in a group where he was the nickname of "the".
Front of 2011 and 2012, saw the characteristics of the strip of Bottega Veneta, something that men on the podium with two examples of quittés do clear and only for this year and next. In the photo below to the left is doing, and is not the right. The left is one because defines the sides also against a wild deliberately higher. The right is a not the uncle too refined, too academic, also lacking in attitude. In summary: apart from nails to modern humans, it is preferable to avoid the sweep straight side bangs and make sure that it is fairly used with an abundance of textures.

This style: products for the hair for its use.
Perhaps you had hair cut with edges or this man were not happy with product suggestions. If this is the case, here are some of the products used to change the style of Brit rock.
For texture without a shine
If after a dry eye shot with great texture and then use a spray of salt marina as basic, this product gives your hair, dry texture and also support keeps his hair and movement. The name gives you even more, but hair will feel quite similar to the way in which you could after bathing on the beach.
To get more of the same: wash your hair, spray with sea salt, and then dry the hair with a hair dryer – make sure that they have formed the desired hair hairstyle is dry with a hair dryer (i.e. hair must be driven).
He finished with a clay hair product to define the style. Rubbing the clay hands to melt and malleable, then rub two hands through his hair from left to right, by the Crown and are working on the peripheries. This move will ensure that every part of your product's hair in it. Once you have worked through the hair style in the final form that you want to create, organize the Strip (which is in the center of the protector) as you wish. If you want to increase the amount of separation and texture, use the tip of the fingers.

For texture with a shine

Mr Djanogly is the representative for Huntingdon.since 2001 succeeding Mr John Major.
As you can expect, Wikidata knows about the districts and the persons involved. That does not mean that it brings things together. Neither for Mr Major nor Mr Djanogly it was known that they held the office of an MP nor was it known that they represented Huntingdon.
This type of election is personal; at election time it matters who the candidate is. A candidate may run repeatedly. This is quite different in a representative system where people vote for parties and where nobody in particular represents a specific area.
Mr Major and Mr Djanogly are now registered as MP in Wikidata. The challenge is how to include the elections and representatives in constituencies like Huntingdon. Obviously a lot of work needs to be done to mark every MP for the office that he or she held.

The easiest way to view a valid xml file is by loading it into Internet Explorer version 5. If you expect it to be displayed as a document in html/xhtml, then you'll need to use xsl (an xml application) to create one or more views of the data. The best parser is, of course, one written by you as it will do the things that you need to get done. The most convenient parser is the built-in parser in IEv5; it will display a valid xml file simply by pointing the browser at it. If you are looking for a tool to assist you, then I've found that XMLSpy is very good. It works on xml, xhtml, xsl and dtd files very well, but you will need to get some foundation in the x-technologies regardless of the route taken in browsers and tools.

Personality development is defined as the process that improves the way we interact with others. A positive change in our interaction helps in our decision making. There are various facets of personality change and development. While there are various personality development classes that offer help in changing our attitudes and behaviour, this article will share some common practices in this field. Following are some of the common practices.
The first step towards a positive change in our personality is that we must accept that it requires change and improvement. We must have an objective assessment of our make-up, attitudes and beliefs. Once we are able to face ourselves in the mirror, only then will we able to move forward.
Enrolling in a personality development course online will help us in two ways;
- One, such a course evaluates our weaknesses objectively.
- In the next step, the virtual course suggests areas of improvement.
Once we have accepted that we have flaws in our personality, then the next step is to develop determination to remove them. There are examples of so many leaders who have changed their former selves by developing an iron will. One such example is that of Abraham Lincoln who lost elections for not just one two or three times but for more than 40 times. Every time that he lost an election, he improved himself a wee bit. Lincoln knew that there were major flaws in his psychological build-up that we keeping him from the American Presidency. Nevertheless, he persisted and we all know that Lincoln eventually won as an American President. If you want to really change your personality for the better, we suggest you join a really good course for personality development.
A good course for development of personality helps you change your overall psychological build-up in a professional manner. Trained and certified instructors take you through several concepts and also impart you practical training. These teachers are world class professionals and know their art and craft very well.
Soft skills Development
A complete 360 degree personality change requires that one must also attend a professional and accredited soft skill development course. Soft skills are necessary for all those who want to acquire leadership traits and positions. Many researchers have proved that soft skills are necessary in all kinds of organization settings- military, service, industrial etc.
Personality development classes are important for all those who really wish to alter their personalities for the better.

Australian Kelpie Dog
Information, Behavior and Training
The Australian Kelpie dog is a relentless workaholic that thrives when given a job. If you are looking for a working dog blessed with superior intelligence and a strong passion for work, this is the breed for you.
Yet, while a Kelpie's passion for keeping busy is treasured by many farmers, this trait is also what makes him unsuitable for many homes.
Do your research well before considering this breed; if you don't own a farm, you will need to provide plenty of substitute activities to keep this breed healthy and happy.
Whether you are thinking about buying a puppy or adopting an adult dog and want to know if this is the right breed for you or just want to learn more about this breed, I hope this article will help you find the answers to your questions.
Australian Kelpie Information and History
Also known as Kelpie, Barb or Australian Sheep Dog, the Australian Kelpie dog is believed to have originated around 1870 in Australia. Descended from both British and Scottish working collies imported to Australia in the early 19th century, and perhaps the occasional Dingo, Kelpies were selectively bred to work in the harsh, hot and dusty Australian landscapes alongside Merino sheep.
This breed's herding style includes eyeing, barking and gripping the sheep, often without any form of guidance from humans. Still as of today, the Australian Kelpie dog is used by many ranchers for moving stock.
In the United States, in addition to working with many different types of livestock, Kelpies are often entered in various herding trials. In Sweden, they are often used as rescue dogs. The Australian Kelpie dog is currently not recognized by the American Kennel Club but it's recognized by the United Kennel Club and the Canadian Kennel Club.
It's estimated that the breed has been present in North America since the turn of the 20th century.
Breed Profile
The general appearance is of an active, muscular dog capable of engaging in untiring work. Kelpies should convey lively energy without appearing gawky.
The body is compact, muscular and free from any suggestion of weakness. The moderately long neck is slightly arched and blends smoothly within the shoulders. The chest is deep, with well-sprung ribs. The tail is set low but is sufficiently long to reach the hock and curve slightly at rest. During movement, it may be carried higher.
When viewed from the front, Kelpie's forelegs present as parallel and straight. The strong pasterns are typically sloped to allow flexibility. The rear legs boast parallel pasterns when viewed from behind. The feet are strong, round in shape and feature well-arched toes.
The overall expression is of an intelligent dog with a fox-like appearance. The eyes are almond shaped and brown in color. Lighter eye colors are accepted in gray dogs. The ears are pricked as if ready to capture the slightest sounds. The color of the nose should harmonize with the coat color. The strong, white teeth are meant to meet in a scissor bite.
The Kelpie's double coat boasts a short, rough and weather-resistant outer coat and a dense, soft undercoat. Short hair is mostly seen on the head, ears and feet. The longer hair forms a ruff around the neck and a brush on the tail. Accepted coat colors include black, black with tan markings, gray, gray with tan markings, red, red with tan markings and tan.

Independent, intelligent, sharp-eyed and quick-thinking, the Australian Kelpie dog is an overall fanatical workaholic. You must always stay a step ahead of a Kelpie if you want to have success, but not all are up to the task. This is one of the many reasons why this breed does best with an experienced owner.
With a history of herding sheep, these dogs can become zealous gatherers of anything that moves: other dogs, cats, even cars. Problems arise though when your Kelpie tries to herd people and starts circling, poking, pushing and even nipping a rambunctious child. It's imperative to discourage these behaviors from early puppyhood.
While these dogs generally get along with children, close supervision is always a must. With other dogs and pets, Kelpies do fairly well, especially when introduced from an early age. However, supervision is always recommended as fleeing cats and small animals may trigger this breed's prey drive.
Early socialization is a must if you want to own this breed. Shyness or suspiciousness may arise in under-socialized Australian Kelpie puppies. Make sure you start the socialization process early, when your Australian Kelpie dog is still a young puppy. When it comes to protecting property, Kelpies make excellent watchdogs.
Australian Kelpie training requires a confident owner that is very consistent in providing gentle guidance. Australian Kelpie pups are highly intelligent and catch up rather quickly.
Best Owner and Living Conditions
When given a task, Kelpies will work until they literally drop. Therefore, the ideal owner is a farmer with loads of livestock to herd. But if you don't own any sheep or livestock, you will need to find other venues to keep your dog challenged and happy!
Because these fellows are master escape artists, you must do whatever it takes to contain your Kelpie. This involves erecting a high fence to prevent jumping and preventing underground digging.
The Australian Kelpie dog is definitively unsuitable for a sedentary life; therefore, it makes a poor candidate for an apartment or condo.
Activity and Exercise
A bored Kelpie is a troublesome Kelpie; whereas, a tired Kelpie is a good Kelpie. With no outlet for pent-up energy and mental stimulation, expect obsessive, destructive behaviors to arise. If you lack a farm, your pet will be more than happy to accompany you on your hiking, jogging and hiking adventures.
This is a breed that was not meant to be just a companion. Australian Kelpies were bred to work on farms and their behaviors are often inappropriate in a household setting. But while you cannot suppress this breed's hardwired desire for exercise, you can channel it through such sports as dog agility, obedience and Treibball. It's also a good idea to take him for several VERY long walks every day.
Despite having a short coat, Australian Kelpies shed more than you may expect. An occasional brushing will do for most of the year, but you may want to brush a bit more often during shedding season.
Bathing too often you will remove the oils that keep your pet's coat weather-resistant, so bathe only when necessary.
Health Concerns
This breed is, overall, healthy and strong but, like all breeds, is susceptible to some health conditions. Hip dysplasia, luxating patella and Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) are a few conditions found in this breed.
If you are looking for a healthy puppy with a good temperament, make sure you consult with reputable Australian Kelpie breeders.
Even healthy dogs get sick. While many health problems will require an immediate attention from your Vet, there are many others that you may handle on your own. Learn how to save time and money (and how to prevent small problems from becoming big problems) by diagnosing and treating dog health problems that don't require your Vet's attention.
Life Expectancy
The average life expectancy is 10 to 14 years.
Final Thoughts...
If you have a vivid interest in the Australian Kelpie breed, you first will need to make sure you can provide this breed with proper outlets for energy and mental stimulation. Next, you will need luck in finding an Australian Kelpie breeder. While these dogs can be found just about anywhere in Australia, in the United States, the Australian Kelpie dog is quite scarce and can be quite a difficult find.
Did you ever consider adopting your next pet?
If this is the breed you are interested in, and adoption appeals to you, consider contacting your local Australian Kelpie rescue and adoption center. There are thousands of pets waiting for a loving home and, yes, it's possible to adopt a purebred dog.
