In the last twenty years or so of my life, I've noticed a pattern of leaving both common and proper nouns in my wake as I've hightailed it into the sunset. The Schoolhouse Rock definition of 'noun' must be sung, and I indeed do 'find it interesting, a noun's a person, place, or thing.' That chuckle aside, and after some forethought or hindsight <whichever makes me sound more inflective>, I can say for the most part, I may not miss the places, I may not miss the people, but damnit, I miss the stuff!
I've left entire apartments full of furniture, clothes, and electronics, CD and book collections, movies in so many formats I couldn't play them if we were ever reunited, and a myriad of other possessions in a mad dash to liberate myself from drama or situations I was partially or totally responsible for in one way or another, and let's face it, if you don't have a beast of burden or at least an F150, these are things you can't pack in your bag and hit the road with and make a clean getaway.
By the time I reached Wisconsin, and got a new job and apartment there, I wouldn't be able to physically or mentally make a purchase of more than tv, laptop, stereo, and futon for months in fear that I wasn't going to commit to living there much longer and my mood changed from day to day. It was a great job with lot's of potential, downtown Sheboygan may seem like a tiny town, even to the locals who called it 'Sheer Boredom', but it had everything you would look for in a small city; the pubs all had happy hours that lasted four hours, cigarettes were under four dollars a pack, and it was on Lake Michigan. If you can imagine a salt smell it's as close as you can get to being on the ocean without being anywhere near one.
When I would shop for anything other than food, the internal argument would start with the 'do i want this?' phase of the purchase, which is pretty much self explanatory. I'd then graduate to the 'do i need this?' phase of the purchase, and I'd imagine the many uses and benefits of purchasing a <let's say> couch for my living room in the event I decided to have people over and not have to pretend to notice the expression of awe on their faces when they walked into my two bedroom apartment that with the exception of a 'nerd nook' was completely barren. The last and most crucial phase of the purchasing procedure was the 'can i leave this?' phase. It entails not spending so much money or getting emotionally attached to anything that you couldn't easily leave behind if you couldn't take it with you. It would be a real strain to pull out my checkbook and fork over an entire paycheck for something that was ultimately going to make my neighbors dream come true once it was fished out of the dumpster area. I had to make sure I was willing to make the temporary commitment while also reminding the couch at least weekly that 'this is only a temporary thing' and when it got too comfortable or I sensed it was too needy, I was quick to give it the 'you knew what this was about when we got together' speech.
I really like to think I'm over this phase of my life now. Married to a better guy than I probably deserve, I've managed to become an international traveler, and have relocated hopefully for the last time <and yes, I pretty much left all my stuff to donations when I broke my lease and said I wouldn't be coming back to the States as early as I had originally intended> and am settled in our new home situation in Australia which is also subject to it's own fair share of idiosyncrasies as far as permanence. We lie in bed, and chat about where we could go, where we could live, and when we'll be able to afford to travel back to the States, a formidable expense in any budget of any size income. I'm making my first major purchase this week, I'm buying a new guitar amp so I can practice guitar, plug in a mic, and hopefully get comfortable enough to either recruit a band or put cymbals between my knees and be a model 'geek'. It weighs over 50 pounds. Even if I could get it back to the States I wouldn't be able to plug it in due to European socket configurations. It wouldn't fit into my bag if it had to. It's taking a lot of thought to relax and say to myself 'if i buy this amp, I'll never need another.' I can't quit smoking, I still drink. I still believe, however, that this is one habit that it's definitely time to break..... maybe.

After much coaxing to get Naomi to eat her dinner, she gave this explanation for her reluctance:
"Well, it's just that I only like to eat ordinary food, that is, food that tastes good."
Naomi's response to Mike asking her to start cleaning up her toys in the play room at the end of the day:
"Oh, but mommy has done such a great job of cleaning all the other rooms, I am sure she can handle one more!"
Upon realizing she had made a huge discovery, Naomi ran to me to let me know her latest nugget of knowledge:
Naomi: Mom! People in France have their own language!
Ana: I know!
Naomi: Yeah, instead of "the end" they say "zee end"
Naomi: Hey mom, can I have your help with something? (walks up to me with the doll house television set, which she is pretending is a smartphone)
Ana: Yes
Naomi: Well, I'm having some trouble with this. Every time I find the picture I want and try to move it to google it and put it on my faceblog to show it to my friends, but as soon as I boink it it goes to another picture!
Bernadette's response to being reprimanded for breaking a beautiful piece of art we own:
"But my very favorite times are when I am breaking things!"
Ana: Bernadette, go to the play room
Bernadette: NOOOOOO
Ana: Yes, head out to the play room and play
Bernadette: NO IT'S TOO COLD OUT THERE!! (it really is an ice box)
Naomi: (interjecting in her calmest, most soothing voice) Mom, just let her go out to the living room where it's warmer. I promise, things are going to be a lot better in your whole life from now on...
Tonight after putting them in their room for bed, they came banging on the door (we lock them in) and Naomi proclaimed in her most excited/urgent voice:
"Mom, do you know what we just saw? We just saw the largest, BIGGEST star ever and do you know what we're thinking? We're thinking it's probably the star of Bethlehem!"

When you are in the process of parting with your hard earned cash you might want to consider a few things first of all.
Firstly is what you are buying going to give you a long lasting pleasure and be a great investment to your life? I know that it is easy to find pleasures and to blow money every now and then but what I am saying is that how much you spend on rubbish can be destroying your future.
For example with the way the world is going in the global economy you won't get much help from governments or organisations when you retire. You are buying stuff now that might give you a fix of temporary nature but what long lasting affect will it have on your future lifestyle?
Debt is measured by how much you borrow and how much can be paid back versus what the possible return could be.
So if you borrow money to blow money then when you pay that money back you aren't getting any long lasting return or reason for borrowing in the first place. Bad Debt is doing exactly that. Borrowing money for no real reason exept the fact that you 'want' something badly enough like a 'desire'.
Good Debt though means that if you wanted to start an enterprise or a new venture of some kind then you might borrow money off of an organisation or off of a friend maybe? This means that you are borrowing the money to use it in a 'constructive' way where high returns are likely depending on the soundness of your venture idea. So if you have a sound system of business you can work with to bolster your future income and give you a retirement fund then it is worth maybe borrowing some money for this.
Therefore this is classed as good debt. Many great's of our time have used good debt to fund their enterprises. People like Donald Trump and Bill Gates have used this idea. Now I am not saying that you should approach a friend and ask for $10k 'unless' you have done your homework and preparation to position yourself well in learning the figures and determining the returns you are likely to get depending on the soundness of the system or product.
So bad debt is aimless spending with no returns.
Good Debt is planned borrowing that will likely be giving you a high return on your efforts. If you have a problem with borrowing from a friend then offer an interest payment to them for their confidence in you. Or you might want to find out about borrowing with a bank or with your mortgage again depending on your confidence of the business you are going into.
I found that this is very useful when you have a business plan and you are determined to make the change based on your longterm desire for a better life then you go into the situation with your heart and mind working as a team.
I also found that when you are trying to better your life and start a business, you might want to consider a business where you don't have to invest more than $50k. Why this amount? Well if you start a franchise or a traditional business you will have alot to consider like staffing issues and rent for a building not to mention overheads of stock and storage. Then you will have to turn a profit whilst dealing will many differentials to add to the stress of trying to follow your passion for freedom and a life with your family.
Don't panic though though because for under $50k you can get started in your own Internet Business.
For alot less than that you can be in business with no headaches and no staff plus no storage or overheads of a building's rent. You just need to find the right system and someone who is doing this successfully. Don't go throwing a ton of cash at something you don't understand or that hasn't got many good reviews.
It is just a thought but you might want to outsource some of the things you don't understand, I did. Take my word for it I struggled with throwing money at various online ventures but I soon realised that I must 'learn' from experts in this area. That is what I did personally. Well I wish you luck with using your Good Debt instead of Bad Debt, you can change the habit and leverage your loan.
Next time you go to spend money on something temporary remember that you do have a future and that if you want a secure one you might want to learn more about Investing your money using Good Debt.

The Earlyville church of Christ, McMinnville, Tennessee, ladies Bible class is much more than a regular Bible class. It meets Wednesday mornings at 10:00 a.m. The first hour is spent in Bible study, and then the ladies enjoy a pot luck lunch together. Plates are then prepared for shut-ins and delivered later. But that is not all.
The ladies work on projects for various needs around the community and mission fields. Among the projects being worked on presently, and pictured above, are beautiful hand embroidered quilts for newlyweds in the church, for burn outs in the community, and for new babies born. Some of the ladies sew and make stuffed dogs that are taken to the hospital, Sheriff's office, and anywhere there are children that need comforting, as well as to the Amerindian children in Guyana. Other ladies make lap robes that are given to the patients in the local nursing home. Two of the ladies sew and make dresses for children in Guyana and diaper shirts for Nicaragua. The ladies also make special decorated pillow cases for the children in the local congregation. The pillowcases have the child's name on it along with a special graphic chosen just for them.
Pictured above are some of the members of the class holding items they have made for others.
Armilda Mathis (Mrs. Lynwood Mathis) started the ladies class some 15 years ago right before they moved to another work with the church. Afterwards, Lucille Webb taught the class for approximately 12 years. The current teacher, Sarah Nokes, says she tells the members often, "The most important part of our work is the Bible study."

: Menopause and a Decline in Intimacy
Posted November 7, 2016
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 2, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Women might say "not tonight, dear" a lot more often in the year and a half before their final period, a new study finds.
Sexual decline typically starts 20 months before a woman's final period and continues for several years after menstruation ends, the study authors reported.
The researchers analyzed data from nearly 1,400 U.S. women at midlife, and also found that menopause-related declines in sexual function can vary according to race and ethnicity.
A diminishing sex life is a serious issue, the researchers said, noting three-quarters of study participants said sex was moderately to extremely important to them.
"This study highlights the need for health-care providers to have open conversations with their patients about their sexual issues, because there are many options for women to help maintain or improve their sexual lives as they transition to and beyond menopause," said Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton. She's executive director of the North American Menopause Society.
The women in the study had either undergone natural menopause or had a hysterectomy -- removal of the uterus. No declines in sexual function occurred in the women until 20 months before their final menstrual period, the study found.
From that point until one year after the final period, overall sexual function scores fell 0.35 percent a year. Sexual activity continued to decline for more than a year afterward, but at a slower rate.
Compared to white women, black women had a smaller decline in sexual function. The decline was twice as high in Japanese-American women than white women, the researchers found.
Also, women who had a hysterectomy before the end of menstruation did not have a decline in sexual function before their surgery -- but they did have a decline afterward.
Overall, sexual decline continued for five years after the final period, the researchers said.
Although menopause is often accompanied by problems such as vaginal dryness, depression and anxiety, these issues did not explain the impact menopause or surgery had on sexual function, the researchers said.
The research was led by Nancy Avis, a professor of social sciences and health policy at Wake Forest School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Medications exist that can help some women dealing with menopause-related issues, Pinkerton said. "Low-dose vaginal estrogen, for example, which has minimal risks for most women, is an effective and safe treatment for painful intercourse, as is a non-estrogen therapy called ospemifene," she said in a menopause society news release.
The study findings were published online Nov. 2 in the journal Menopause.

"Posting a video on YouTube see video below) of what appeared to be flying objects whizzing over the gardens, Russell Crowe wrote: `friend and I set camera to capture fruit bats rising from Botanic Gardens. This was a big surprise.`"
Most UFO`s are witnessed by country hicks with a taste for liquor and publicity. But this time it`s an actor, who loves publicity, who posted online a UFO video.
I doubt Crowe had any desire to capture fruit bats rising from the Botanic Gardens. I`m not saying that the video was digitally manipulated, but I do know that UFO`s garner a hell of a lot more publicity than fruit flies.
Crowe is a master at promotion, and what a perfect time with the release of his new movie to post a UFO video that was actually filmed in Sydney four years ago.
Russell Crowe, it doesn`t take a beautiful mind to realize you are a publicity hound trying to hype your latest movie.

For about 76 years before Harry Truman dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, Japan built a sprawling empire in Asia and the Pacific. Apart from the killing, pillage, exploitation, decimation and domination that goes with all modern empires, Japan also built cities and factories, hospitals and railroads, factories and hotels. It cut down forests, built dams and dug mines. Japanese soldiers, imperial managers, and settlers fell in love with, had sex and sometimes children with the locals. Once the atomic bombs were dropped and Tokyo surrendered, everybody figured that the Japanese Empire was pretty much over, and some of it is. But :the undead empire | reports from Japan's colonies in Asia is here to show you that although the old empire might be gone in legal terms, bits and pieces of it keep on cooking and fuming and shaping things all over the places that once belonged to Japan.
: the undead empire | reports from Japan's colonies in Asia is a hybrid book and multimedia project bringing together 40 years of scholarship, travel, lived experience, field research, teaching and publication about and in Japan, its current imperial possessions in Hokkaido and Okinawa, and in its former colonies in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the western Pacific. It examines and reports on how Japan's empire in Asia between 1869 and 1945 persists in the 21st century, still shaping lives, politics, culture, and thinking. The website supports the book project. Publication of the undead empire book is slated for 2017. Discussions with videographers about development of an undead empire documentary are underway.

The Peoria Chiefs have announced that three-time World Series champion and Baseball Hall of Famer Tony LaRussa will be the VIP guest at Dozer Park, on Saturday, May 5 as the Chiefs host South Bend. The Chiefs and Walter G. Jacob Foundation have partnered together to bring LaRussa to Peoria in a fundraiser that will benefit the local non-profit St. Jude Rides. LaRussa will throw out a ceremonial first pitch and sign autographs on the concourse. The May 5 game also includes previously announced promotions of Cinco de Mayo Day, Kentucky Derby Day and post-game Fireworks.
Fans wishing to hear LaRussa speak in a Q & A in the right field party area can purchase a $50 ticket that includes the Home Run Buffet and a ticket to the game. LaRussa will speak in right field from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. for the Q & A and the buffet will run for 90 minutes starting at 6:00. Tickets for the right-field event and regular tickets for the game are available on the Chiefs website at www.peoriachiefs.com or at the Dozer Park Box Office which is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
LaRussa will throw out a ceremonial first pitch prior to the game and will sign autographs on the concourse from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Autographs are $59 for one item and the proceeds for the night benefit the St. Jude Rides.
"We are very excited about this event which brings one of the greatest managers in baseball history and a Cardinals legend to Dozer Park in May," said Chiefs General Manager Jason Mott. "Cardinals fans and Central Illinois baseball fans alike have an opportunity to interact and get an autograph from a Hall of Famer and raise money for a great cause at the same time."
A four-time Manager of the Year and one of only two managers to win the World Series in both leagues, LaRussa was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014 after receiving 100% of the votes from the Expansion Era Committee. When he retired after the 2011 World Series, LaRussa became the first manager to retire the same season after winning a title. He is the only manager in MLB history to win multiple pennants in both leagues and his 2728 victories rank third all-time behind Connie Mack and John McGraw.
LaRussa managed the St. Louis Cardinals from 1996-2011 winning two World Series championships and finishing with a record of 1408-1182 in the regular season and 50-42 in the playoffs. Under his leadership the Cardinals made the playoffs nine times in 16 seasons and they played in the NLCS seven times, including three straight from 2004-06. LaRussa's Cardinals teams won at least 90 games on seven occasions including 100 in 2005 and 105 in 2004. LaRussa was named the National League Manager of the Year in 2002 making him the second skipper to win the award in both leagues and the first to win the award four times. LaRussa's #10 has been retired by the Cardinals and he was inducted into the Cardinals Hall of Fame in 2014 as part of the inaugural class
Prior to joining the Cardinals, LaRussa led the Oakland A's from mid 1986-1995 with four playoff appearances from 1988-82. After winning 104 games, Oakland fell in the 1988 World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The won 99 games in 1989 and swept the San Francisco Giants in a World Series that was interrupted by the devastating Loma Prieta earthquake prior to Game 3. In 1990 the A's won 103 games but lost in the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. While with Oakland, LaRussa was named American League Manager of the Year in 1988 and 1992.
LaRussa began his managerial career in 1979 with the Chicago White Sox as he took over for the final 54 games. He led the South Siders to their first playoff appearance since 1959 with an AL West Division title and a 99-63 record in 1983. That success earned LaRussa his first AL Manager of the Year award.
LaRussa managed in the Minor Leagues as well as he helmed the Double-A Knoxville Sox in 1978 and the Triple-A Iowa Oaks to start the 1979 season. Although he didn't play in the Midwest League, LaRussa played parts of 15 seasons in the Minor Leagues with the A's, Braves, White Sox, Pirates, Cubs and Cardinals organizations. He broke into the Major Leagues for 34 games with the Kansas City Athletics in 1963 and returned to the Majors in Oakland in 1968. His final MLB appearance as a player came in 1973 with the Cubs.
A native of Tampa, Florida and a graduate of the Florida State University College of Law, LaRussa and his wife Elaine are founders of Tony LaRussa's Animal Rescue Foundation in Walnut Creek, California.

You know how I enjoy doing DIY projects around the house and stuff? Well, It's true, I do enjoy it. And I'm
cheap thrifty enough that I love not having to pay people to do stuff I can do myself with some elbow grease.
But the real reason I like to do things myself is because it means i don't have to go through the process of getting quotes and hiring someone. What a pain!
I know, first world problems, right?
Have any of y'all 8-5ers ever tried to hire a tradesperson before? It's not easy. You're at work all day. And the plumber wants to meet you at 10:00 AM. Or 2:30. Or you can keep it flexible and he or she will come sometime between the two. Your choice. By the time you leave work, get home to meet the plumber, then get back to work, you've blown a couple hours.
And try that when you're a 50 minute bicycle ride from home and have to shower when you get back to work!
And then try that twice more within a 2-3 day period so that you have a minimum of 3 quotes to compare. You've just taken a day and a half PTO. Not to mention the PTO you have to take once the person you hire shows up to do the work to make sure he's not rooting through your wife's bra drawer while you're not home, amiright?
Ok, Ok. It's not this bad for a lot of folks. If you can work from home, or don't have to keep time sheets at work, or don't live far from work it's not that bad. And sometimes you'll find a tradesperson willing to slide you into the 7:30 AM slot, or maybe even an evening/weekend time. And the vast majority of tradespersons ar good, honest folks that don't care about your wife's bras and aren't going to steal your TV. I'm just sayin though – I've hired tradespersons a handful of times, and I find the process very frustrating.
Also, where are all the women tradespersons, huh? Damn Patriarchy.
I can't even find a good photo of a woman plumber on google. It's all dumb stock photos or else some busty woman in a bikini holding a pair of pliers next to a sink.

Thank you for sharing! I have tons of pages made but had no idea where to print them at.ReplyDelete
We need to get together so that you can show me how to do this. I have tried to figure it out but I am so bad at it, your pages always look so cute!ReplyDelete
Do you know about how often they do their flat-rate sale? I'm excited to get my first book for Talon printed! Thanks again for teaching me! :)ReplyDelete
Kelli, I've been a Picasa user for over a year and I LoVe it!! Sooooo much better than the old way of scrappin! What I was wondering is how you got a 2 color layer on your collage that is in your picture on the left side. Your background is orange and the outline around your pictures is black/brown. (Does that make sense??) Any tips on that would be awesome! Oh and don't you hate the way winkflash cuts off some of the top and bottom of the collages?? Any tricks around that other than making the borders really thick?? Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Hi! All you do is create a collage, and then create another collage with that 1st collage being the image, and it will put a new border around it. You could do a whole bunch of different borders around it, if you want- by creating lots of collages. Sometimes I will create 4 collages before its completed.! I hope this makes sense!

Threshold Limit: Threshold limit is the limit up to which no service tax is payable even for the services that are taxable in the normal case. This is referred to as General Exemption

My roots are embedded in Louisville, KY, and try as they might to pull me home, I've created a life for myself beyond the bluegrass. I am a writer and strategist with a passion for storytelling. The articles I write pursue aspects of culture, art and design. From interviewing dance masters at The Joffrey Ballet to walking through Horween Leather Co.'s 113-year-old tannery—I seek to imbue classic and modern sensibilities on each cultural medium.
My work has appeared in six Modern Luxury magazines including CS, NS, Interiors, City Guide, Men's Book and Weddings. I also contributed to The DePaulia and 14 East Magazine while I completed a Bachelor of Arts at DePaul University.
I approach life through a lens of curiosity, and I spend my free time reading, working on 1,000+ puzzles and navigating my way through new cities antique stalls. I am currently looking for an opportunity to contribute to a company that values research, quality writing and, above all else, good design. Take a closer look at my portfolio and resume—better yet, hire me.

I would kill for a living room that opened up with windows like that. And concrete floors! It's so unfair that Europeans always get the best houses, haha. Nothing in America looks like that! Enjoy spring break with your boys, and sleep in! If you can :) I'm planning on doing a bit of that this weekend hopefully, but tomorrow I'm dragging J to a vintage shop an hour away to do some shopping bright and early. :D Have a great one, twinsy.ReplyDelete
Breaks feel SO good, don't they? I'm already ready for another one. Even if you don't have anything planned, knowing that you don't have to be anywhere, is so NICE.ReplyDelete
I do like this home. I'm with Erin on the windows in the living room and the concrete floors. Bright open spaces. That's for me. :)
So much natural light! I like that in a home. And I like that it feels lived in, not just styled to be photographed for a magazine.ReplyDelete
Staring at these photos, I'm starting to think I would love to move back to an apartment (like the one you show above), with a balcony that overlooked some beautiful city. When the kids move out, of course. ;) Our spring break will happen the week after yours and I'm looking forward to all of the things you mention. Going to try my hardest to sneak in some adventures too. Hip Hip...Have a wonderful weekend!ReplyDelete
Love this place!ReplyDelete
The bright rooms make me wonder if I will ever be able to do so much with such simple means... Sigh...ReplyDelete
I love those windows! I wish I could just remove a whole wall in our living room and replace it with glass.ReplyDelete

Sin & Skin. You can probably guess what the event is all about: fun, fetish, freaks, drinks & music. Plus plenty of bizarre performances: eclectic vaudeville, a contortionist, sideshow freaks, fires, grinders, sparks and the like. Show up in jeans and a shirt or decked out in latex. Anything goes. Not for the easily offended or anyone under 18.

Postscript to What's your brand?
Just a few days after my post about universities' brands, I enjoyed reading an article in the Times Higher Education, the UK's specialist higher education publication, about Nazarbayev University.
The article "No shame in the name" explains how a Cambridge University college has (at least temporarily) withdrawn a fellowship named after Nazarbayev. As in Nazarbayev University, not the President – but that lack of clarity was enough to embarrass Cambridge, which, it should be pointed out, has a growing partnership with Nazarbayev (Uni). Along with Pennsylvania State University (USA), Cambridge will help Nazarbayev Uni launch graduate degrees in education in 2013 and is already working on English language programmes with the Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools.
As such, it's not entirely clear why the fellowship was withdrawn. But it does highlight the critical importance of a university's brand.
It's also worth noting that it's a little odd that the Times Higher has chosen now to publish this article. As far as I can see, the Fellowship was advertised some months ago with one Kazakh website suggesting it closed in January. Ah well. News doesn't always travel fast from Central Asia to the rest of the world.
What's your brand?
Yesterday, I attended my MBA graduation ceremony (I completed the MBA last year but the ceremonies only take place in April). My university, the Institute of Education, University of London, put on a great day and the Director gave a congratulatory speech that managed to be motivational whilst grounded in pragmatism, a difficult feat to pull off.
My MBA was not your typical finance-and-business course, but specialised in higher education management. So whilst we covered finance, it was geared towards higher education – how to interpret university financial statements, understanding resource allocation mechanisms, what a temporary creative cross-subsidy means and how to implement one and so on. The MBA also allowed us to explore higher education specific topics, such as managing teaching and research and managing the student experience. It was hard, hard work to study part-time whilst working full-time but well worth it, not just for the knowledge obtained but the networks I now have and the skills I have developed. I'd be very happy to discuss the course with any readers who might consider an application – just leave me a comment or email me.
During his speech, the Director spoke about the Institute (affectionately known as "IoE") and its early 20th century foundation as a teacher training college for London County Council. Today, it offers more Master's degrees in education-related subjects than any other university in the UK, a range of other graduate and doctoral courses, and still offers high quality teaching qualifications. So whilst the IoE is rooted in its past, it has adapted and diversified to meet contemporary needs. In corporate speak, the IoE has a clear brand that it is becoming increasingly sophisticated about communicating to its own students and staff as well as the outside world.
I think branding in the higher education sector is a fascinating subject. It uses a concept taken from the profit-making private sector and applies it to a sector that is, these days, semi-public and semi-private but more importantly, is influenced by the students and staff that are part of the institution. Paul Temple (coincidentally, one of the MBA course directors!) makes this point in his article University branding:
So I draw a distinction between branding – which, in our case, is what people come to think about a university as a result of what it does and what its staff and students have achieved over the years; it is slow to change and comes from inside – and branding work, which can come from the outside, can make a marginal difference in some cases, but usually has little impact on the things that matter.
Paul Temple (2011): University branding, Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 15:4, 113-116
(Let me know if you would like a copy of the article – it's an entertaining read)
Universities are also hugely diverse places and this adds to the challenge of trying to create a clear message about what it is trying to do. For the IoE, this is made by simpler by its focus on education and related social sciences, but for multi-faculty institutions with (for example) full-time and part-time students, sciences and arts courses, face-to-face and online learning, this message can be much more difficult to find and talk about.
As a result, the impact that branding can have in a university is unlikely to be the same as branding in the corporate world. Changing a university's logo is superficial compared to the influence that its people (staff, students etc), its history, and its offerings (teaching/research mix, interaction with different communities – local, national, regional, international) have.
The Guardian's Higher Education Network commissioned a roundtable discussion recently about this very subject. Contributors to the discussion agreed with my view that a logo change doesn't make a big difference, but argued that it is possible for universities to agree on core values, and that students and staff can be involved to help reinforce the brand. For example, this could mean featuring student case studies in a prospectus (there were some in my graduation ceremony brochure too, including a testimony from a scholarship student from Tajikistan that aimed to tell you about the importance of the scholarship to her ability to contribute to the future of Tajikistan… oh and by the way, here's how to donate to the scholarship fund…).
These points about branding are not just applicable to UK universities. I have written before on this blog about Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan and how it is positioning itself as a centre of international excellence. Nazarbayev's challenge is about both brand and reputation (not to be conflated, as Paul Temple will tell you). Other universities in Central Asia may not be aiming as high or as internationally as Nazarbayev but the growth of private providers in the region and the increasing number of students enrolling in higher education provides a good impetus for universities to understand their brand and consider whether they feel it is a good reflection of their past, their present and their future.
I'd like to end by reinforcing the point that a university's people are major influencers in how its brand is perceived by others. Messages from students and academics come across as more authentic than slogans and campaigns dreamed up by marketeers (slick and effective as they may be). On a micro-level, I have contributed towards the Institute of Education's brand by sharing my very positive experiences of studying for an MBA in Higher Education Management in this post. Students at other universities have done an even better job of "selling" their institution – just watch the video below made by 172 students at the University of Québec-Montréal (Canada), which has had over 10 million hits on YouTube. You can't fail to be cheered by it!

EMI Sues Cash Money Records, Rep Says Case Will Be Resolved 'Amicably'
By Ed Christman
EMI has sued Cash Money Records over late payments. According to a complaint filed by the major in the U.S Federal Court in the Southern District of New York, Cash Money has failed to make payments due to the major for undisclosed music it licensed, which apparently was connected to "Tha Carter III," the only Cash Money release named in the complaint.
Lil Wayne Cracks 1 Million With 'Tha Carter III'
According to the court documents EMI first sued Cash Money on Nov. 29, 2009, for "direct, contributory and vicarious inducement of copyyright infringement, unfair competition and breach of contract," in a case that was ultimately settled on Feb. 17, 2010.
As part of that settlement, Cash Money paid $1.5 million at that time, as the first of two payments, with the second one had been due within 180 days.
According to the EMI complaint, filed on behalf of the major by New York-based The Roth Law Firm, Cash Money failed to make that second payment and now owes $392,940.93 cents, which is covered by a late payment penalty of 1.25 damage that makes total funds of $491,176.16 due to the major.
EMI declined Billboard.biz's request for comment; a Cash Money rep said, "Cash Money Records has been in contact with EMI and will be resolving this amicably."

After a busy Christmas period and the end of the working week, I wanted to celebrate the start of my holidays with something special. So a friend and I decided that there would be no nicer way of enjoying a balmy Perth evening than catching a movie at Somerville Outdoor Cinemas.
Somerville Outdoor Cinemas are on the beautiful grounds of the University of Western Australia and runs between November and April as part of the Perth International Arts Festival. Nestled among pine trees, this cinema has always been my favourite place to enjoy a meal and a glass of wine with friends and family before a movie.
Their movies aren't mainstream but are still the best of international cinema. Tonight we say 5-7 which was a quirky Rom-Com. Glenn Close and her opposite number gave a hilarious performance.
If you plan to eat before, remember to come early because the grass area at the front fills up pretty quickly. Also, don't forget to save your seat so get a good one.
You can bring your own food of you can buy your own. There is Charlies Pizzas who make them onsite using their special oven. We loved their blue cheese & pumpkin and was easily shared among the two of us. They also do cheese platters. There is also place that does curry, pasta and sushi as well as salads. Coffee, ice cream as well as beer and wine are also on offer.
As it gets dark and to the sound of the odd Kookaburra, people pack up and begin to make their way to their chairs.
If you're looking for something different this summer, why not get a possie together and see something at Somerville, you'll love it.
For more information visit The Perth International Arts Festival website.
Note that the movies are shown at Joondalup Pines at ECU.

Track layout: Oval
Photos on the web of the Nunley's roller coaster have a modern Molina & Sons train - white fiberglass bodies with a red undercarriage and rainbow colored markings. Trains painted like this are common and are believed to be a stock style from Molina & Sons. These fiberglass trains did not exist in 1954 when it is believed this roller coaster opened. So either the train or entire roller coaster was replaced at some point over the years.

Hello there! How's life in your neck of the woods? Things are pretty HOT where I am right now. One o f the hottest days so far this summer! Hunter and I are enjoying our air conditioning while miss Everly naps.
I feel like I have had such a great summer so far. I also feel the crunch of time as August draws near and things start to pick up at my work, not to mention I will soon be working full time and Hunter will be going to pre-school! This feels like the first summer in awhile where I've actually gotten out and done things with the kids. Sure life is different than before I had kids but it is different in a good way! I have loved my summer adventures with my Goonie Bugs.
One of our favorite summer time activities has been taking a big ride through the Marsh to Riverside Park and enjoying the beautiful International Gardens.
You wouldn't think that two little kids would enjoy a park that doesn't have a playground but Hunter and Everly love to look at the giant Koi that are in the pond, tell me all the colors of the pretty flowers, and find all the waterfalls.
Plus mom gets a good workout pulling 50+ pounds of kids behind the bike for 7 miles!
One of the best $20 investments we made this summer was a "Family Pool" from K-Mart. The kids love to splash in it and mom and dad like to sit in it and cool off!
We've had a few visitors this summer. Gardner stopped by to take in a baseball game with Brian. Of course the kids enjoyed
torturing spending time with him.
Both Brian's sister and brother came home for 4th of July. We celebrated my niece's 13th birthday. Hunter and Everly LOVED playing with their cousins. We went to several parks and even to the public swimming pool.
My friend Marianne was also home both on Memorial Day weekend and Fourth of July. We go to spend time with her and her twin boys. Things are pretty crazy fun with 4 kids under the age of 4!
Oh and how can I forget?! The President of the United States also came to town! He spoke at the University just a few blocks from our house. I'm pretty sure Hunter and Everly have no idea who Barack Obama is but I couldn't resist taking them just down the street to see the motorcade go by. They enjoyed the helicopter and all the police motorcycles and cars.
Hunter still loves all things trains! We couldn't resist taking him to a Rail Fair they had locally. The allowed people to go inside a train engine and caboose.
They also had a few model trains set up which was only a preview of the very cool model trains we saw at the Twin Cities Model Train Museum the following weekend when we went to visit the Gardner's.
We even got to "drive" several of the model trains.
This was such a cool place. Definitely a high light of the summer and a place I am sure we will visit again!
These may seem like simple little adventures but they bring such joy to my kids and in turn to me! I know as they grow older we will have even more adventures and eventually it won't be cool to have adventures with mom. For now I am enjoying every simple and wonderful moment!

A popular New Rochelle High School coach has "chopped his locks" to honor his mother who passed away from lung cancer.
In front of his entire team, New Rochelle High School hockey coach Paul Viggiano - who is also an official at Westchester-based AG Williams Painting Company - recently shaved his head to both honor his mother, Nancy, and live up to a promise he made to his players for clinching the league championship.
Viggiano made a pronouncement to his team that if they clinched the league championship, he would cut his hair after growing it out for two years. Once the championship was secured, his players were ready in the locker room with the shears.
Viggiano's ponytail is now a thing of the past and it has been donated to Locks of Love at the suggestion of freelance Hair and Makeup Artist Maria Licari.
With his ponytail a thing of the past, Viggiano praised his team, noting that they've made a contribution to supporting cancer awareness throughout the entire hockey season.
"Our team all decided to take it to the next level and have our entire team make a contribution to the cause - they wore pink stickers on their helmets throughout the season. They were also very supportive of my donation to Locks of Love, especially after I explained to them why I was doing it. Many of them give back on their own in the community whether it is leadership positions, mentor programs, volunteering at the youth hockey league and much more. They get it. They get the message that we are trying to teach - If everyone gives back a little bit, the sum adds up and it goes a long way,"

What does the Six of Cups mean?
Here is a pithy meaning for the Six of Cups:
Perhaps you need to improve the Give and Take ratio in your relationship.
Every relationship has a Give and Take ratio, which is how much one person gives versus how much the other person gives. Generally, when a person feels that this ratio is about 50/50, they are happy with the relationship. When that ratio diverges significantly from 50/50, they become unhappy with it. So if someone is unhappy with their relationship with you (be it romantic or platonic), consider that perhaps they see the relationship's Give and Take ratio as being closer to 90/10 than 50/50. Then you might consider doing something about that.

I'm trying to connect two machines using NFSv4.
desktopA (Server): userA (uid=1000), userB (uid=1001)
desktopB (Client): userA (uid=1001), userB (uid=1000)
Please note the crossed UIDs.
On server i export:
/home/userA 192.168.178.1/24(rw,async,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,nohide)
My server idmapd.conf:
Verbosity = 1
Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
Domain = my.lan
Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nobody
Method = nsswitch,static
email@example.com = userB
and the client idmapd.conf (idmap and nfsd are running there):
Verbosity = 1
Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
Domain = my.lan
Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nobody
Method = nsswitch,static
email@example.com = userA
On the client i mount with
root@desktopB> mount -t nfs4 desktopA:/home/userA /mnt/nfs
But i still get problems with the crossed UIDs:
root@desktopB> ls /mnt/nfs
... userB users ...
Can somebody help me? I don't want to change the UIDs on server and clients just to be equal.
I never tried this myself in practice, but from what I know about the matter maybe check following:
a) the [Static] section on the client should be pointless, as that's a server-side only feature, AFAIK.
b) try mounting with -o sec=krb5, as static mapping works only for GSS authenticated users, and the default is AUTH_SYS, again: AFAIK.
Thank you for your reply.
I removed the static part on both machines, and i added the fsid=0 option in /etc/exports.
Verbosity = 1
Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
Domain = my.lan
Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nobody
/home/userA 192.168.178.1/24(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
According to other posts, just running idmapd on server and client (which already is) with the default config (as above) should be sufficient. But the problem still resides. I've checked /var/log/messages.log, but there are no entries indicating any user mapping. According to this example log http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/44754 there should be at least some lines with 'nfs4_uid_to_name' in it. However i got only some entries with 'new client' and 'stale client'. It seems that the nfs or idmap daemon doesn't even try to do any user mappings. I also checked the hosts.allow file.
The sec=krb5 option implies the usage of kerebros which i don't use. I tried sec=sys but this also didn't help.
If the whole chain (rpcbind, nfsd, mountd, idmapd etc.) only could provide some more information. I've increased every verbosity i could but i'm still clueless what's going on. Or not.
Could anybody who's using NFSv4 with working idmap post his config?
I have the same problem, but do not get any error messages.
Strange thing is, idmapd won't start when I set Verbosity to any other than 0.
Domain = local
Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nobody
Method = nsswitch
Please don't do that. Open a new topic and link back to this one if you feel it is still relevant.

Akkad himself also couldn't yet provide further news on who will likely be taking on directorial duties. you may remember Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury ('Inside') were beign discussed at one point but negotiations are still going on.
Pre-production will hopefully begin in January and shooting is expected to rev up in March.

The WHY Question — Why the National-Security Right Is Gradually Losing the NSA Debate
Still, that does not answer the policy question the law cannot answer: Even assuming the government is permitted to collect this data, why does it need to do so – how does collecting massive amounts of innocent people's communications information make us safer?
Furthermore, even the legal argument is on thin ice once you accept the premise that the "expectation of privacy" standard provides A with some inchoate Fourth Amendment interest in B's property (where B is a private company keeping records of A's activity). After all, the traditional Fourth Amendment logic is that government must develop evidence that gives rise to reasonable, particularized suspicion of wrongdoing before it may seize property. The NSA procedure, to the contrary, allows government to seize first and develop evidence later – with the proviso that there will be no search of what has been seized in the meantime. If we concede for argument's sake that there is a liberty interest here, government seizure without individualized suspicion is not how the Constitution normally works.
Exceptions have been made for "special needs" – searches and seizures that are permitted without individualized suspicion in cases where government can show a compelling need other than gathering evidence for prosecution (e.g., drug testing in public schools). But that gets us straight back to the question: why do we need to do this? It remains unanswered in the minds of many people – very much including many conservatives who care deeply about national security but do not want to be snookered into ceding the government powers that have a very high potential for abuse with an apparently low – or even non-existent – return on security. Quite reasonably these conservatives ask: Why can't you do what government has always done: develop evidence rising to reasonable suspicion or probable cause first, and then seize the data with court authorization?
I do not mean to suggest that there has been no effort to answer the why question. General Keith Alexander, the NSA chief for whom high esteem cuts across party and ideological lines, says that the program has been material to the prevention of several terrorist attacks. More concrete arguments have been made by Stewart Baker and Jim Carafano, who are extremely knowledgeable about how giant data collections can be mined in order, with minimal intrusion on the privacy of non-suspected persons, to detect unique terrorist communications patterns. The innocent communications are needed, they suggest, in order to make the guilty communications stand out.
General Alexander puts that contention this way: "You need the haystack to find the needle." I confess to finding this analogy maddening. The hay is what makes the needle much harder to find; it doesn't help people understand why collecting an ocean of data is useful to locating a few droplets of jihad. And I say that as a supporter of the NSA program who is convinced that its potential intrusion on my privacy is so trivial that if it can help stop another 9/11, it is well worth doing. But the president – the guy with the bully pulpit who purportedly believes the program is essential – is AWOL in this debate because his left-wing base is opposed to national security measures. So the burden of persuasion falls on the NSA chief. If his needle-in-the-haystack argument doesn't move me, how is it possibly going to move people who are far more skeptical?
If there is a more convincing case to be made on the why question – why collecting huge amounts of data pertinent to innocent people is essential to detecting terrorist communication patterns – it must be made pronto. Again, reluctance on the part of knowledgeable people to say more than they have for fear of educating our enemies is perfectly understandable, even admirable. But national-security conservatives have to face facts: We are gradually losing this debate. Being right on the adequacy of the NSA programs' structural safeguards, and being right on the law, will count for nothing if Americans are not convinced – quickly – that there is a real, material, comprehensible connection between the massive data collection and the prevention of terrorist attacks.
