Lost: A Perfect Life
by Andrew Troy Keller ([email protected])
It had all began possibly several days after something that has a possible
connection with both The DHARMA Initiative and The Hanso Foundation had
forced Oceanic Flight 815 to crash itself on a deserted tropical island and
forced the survivors of that crash to have no choice but to work together in
order to survive until someone finally arrives to rescue them from their
premature island prison which brings us to a beautiful female escaped convict
whose name happens to be Kate Austen, who had just volunteered herself to
help two of her fellow crash survivors known as Sayid Jarrah and James
'Sawyer' Ford with the task of carrying a large tree that they had just cut
down back to the camp to be used as firewood.
But on their way back to camp, the three Oceanic 815 survivors had suddenly
found themselves in front of a large hill and that had caused the handsome
male con-artist to turn his eyes toward the former soldier of the Iraqi
Republican Guard and asked, "Okay, Sinbad! What do you think we should do
now?" before a confident Sayid had taken a deep breath and answered, "We
start climbing up the hill!" causing Sawyer to look at Sayid with total
disbelief in his eyes like he was about to ask, "Have you gone out of your
fucking mind?" but just as he was about to get one single word out of that
mouth of his, Sayid had started climbing the hill with one hand and pulling
the tree up the hill with the other hand with Kate pushing the tree up to
And after he had let out a sigh and realized that there was no way for him to
win that particular arguement, Sawyer had grabbed a hold of the other side of
the tree and helped both Kate and Sayid pull it up the hill, only to have it
get stuck halfway up that very hill and it had caused Kate to move herself up
towards the top of the tree in order to help get it unstuck and all the way
up the hill, only to have her get accidently smacked in the face by Sawyer's
elbow which had caused her to fall back down to the bottom of the hill and
become unconscious, causing a shocked Sawyer to look down at his
knocked-out-cold female friend and yelled, "KATE!" before he had raced
himself back down to the bottom of the hill and started checking her pulse.
"Sawyer, is Kate still alive?!" that was the question that a concerned Sayid
had asked Sawyer, who had turned his eyes toward his fellow crash survivor
and answered, "Yeah, Sayid! She's still breathing but she's not waking up!
You better go back to camp and get Jack's ass over here!" and as soon as
Sayid had left the scene to get the camp's resident doctor whose name happens
to be Jack Shephard, poor guilt-ridden Sawyer had placed his gentle hand on
Kate's forehead and his forehead against her cheek, allowed a single tear to
run down his cheek and said, "I'm sorry, Kate! I really am sorry! I didn't
know that you were standing behind me! Just please wake up! Oh, God! Please
make her wake up!"
And while that was going on, Kate's own mind had suddenly transported itself
into the most beautifully-decorated bedroom that she had ever seen in her
entire life, which was where she had woken herself up, looked around and
began to wonder where she was and how she had gotten there, only to have her
take a look at the end of the bed and discovered that there was a copy of a
newspaper entitled 'The Plain Dealer' on it which had caused a shocked Kate
to pick up the paper, take a good look at it and think to herself, *Wholly
shit! I'm in Celveland, Ohio! How the fucking hell could this be possible?*
before she had looked at the date of the paper and discovered that it was
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008, which had made her wonder does it actually had
something to do with the island as well.
But that was before she had suddenly heard the sound of someone watching
TV in the next room, causing her to get herself out of bed, put on a soft
snow-white bathrobe and step into that very room, where she had discovered
that a young and handsome male stud with dark-brown hair was sitting on a
sofa in front of a flat-screen plasma TV set and watching the morning news
on WJW Fox 8, causing her to move herself closer to the mysterious male
hunk, place her gentle hand on his shoulder, clear her throat and say,
"Excuse me. I wonder if...!" but that had resulted in the male stud had
grabbed hold of her arm, pulled her on to his lap and gave her a deep and
passionate kiss on the lips.
And after he had looked at a confused Kate with a small smile on his lips,
placed his gentle hand on her cheek and said, "Good morning, Mrs. Monaghan.
I hope that you don't mind having the paper placed inside the bedroom with
you. I was unable to wake you up," the door had opened and another male
stranger that was dressed as a butler had walked himself in and said,
"Excuse me for interupting, Master Daniel. But your mother wishes to see
you and Miss Cynthia outside for some breakfast," and after they had gotten
themselves dressed and stepped out of the mansion with the butler, both Kate
and Daniel had walked themselves over to a table with a large umbrella on
top of it and an elderly female stranger listening to some news on WHK 1420
on the AM radio dial.
"Miss Charlotte, your son and his bride are here as you had requested," that
was what the butler had said to Daniel's mother, who had looked at both Kate
and Daniel with a loving smile on her face, got out of her seat and gave both
of them a big loving hug before they had sat themselves down and allowed the
butler to place a plate of delicious food in front of each of them and
Charlotte had cleared her throat and asked, "Well, Cynthia? Are you ready to
join us for a little trip to Tower City Center?" but just as she was about to
open up her mouth and say a single word to Charlotte, a small smiling Danel
has placed his gentle hand on top of Kate's and said, "I'm sure that she is,
Mother. Besides, it's not everyday that one of our own family would have the
honor of seeing her science-fiction masterpiece sold in a local bookstore for
the very first time."
And then, after they had finished eating their breakfast, both Kate and
Daniel had placed themselves inside a white limo with Charlotte and allowed
the chauffeur to move the car away from the Monagham manor house and start
driving towards Downtown Cleveland just in time for Daniel's mother to let
out a sigh and say, "I really am so glad that we had decided to take the car,
Daniel. I mean, the very thought of me taking a ride on one of those RTA
Rapid Transit buses... scandelous!" which had caused a small smiling Daniel
to let out a small chuckle, while a wide-eyed Kate had allowed herself to
look at the skyline of the City of Cleveland, Ohio and discovered how
wonderfull it really was.
Then, after the chauffeur had pulled the limo up in front of the landmark
Terminal Tower itself, Kate, Daniel and Charlotte had gotten themselves out
of the limo and stepped inside the tower which was where Kate had discovered
that there was an actual shopping mall underneath it and it had contained all
types of stores including a certain bookstore known as Borders Express which
was where she had discovered that a book that was written by an author named
Cynthia Monagham and entitled 'Mystery Island' has became the hottest selling
item in the store and that had caused Daniel to gently place his hands on her
shoulders and ask, "Well, Cynthia? Are you as pleased as I am?"
"But of course she is, Daniel. I mean, you could planely tell by the look on
her face that she is completely speechless. Well, I am going to purchase my
very own copy and take it home with me. If you need a car to bring you back
home after you are done, all you need to do is just call the house and I
shall send the chauffeur," that was what a small-smiling Charlotte had said
before she had picked up a copy of the book, paid for the purchase and left
the Tower City Center before both Kate and Daniel had moved themselves away
from the store just in time for him to place his gentle hands on her cheeks
and said, "I really am glad that we are both finally alone, Cynthia. I just
want you to know that I would still love you with all of my heart no matter
what happens."
And after she had gazed at Daniel's eyes and suddenly found herself falling
in love with him, Kate had wrapped her arms around Daniel and kissed him ever
so passionately on the lips before they had decided to step inside the Hard
Rock Cafe and have themselves a nice romantic lunch in spite of the fact that
there was some loud heavy metal rock music playing and the other patrons were
singing along to the tunes. Then, after they had left the cafe with a huge
smile on each of their faces, both Kate and Daniel had decided to go over to
the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel and checked themselves into the very best
suite that they actually had.
And then, after they had each finished taking a shower and moved themselves
into the bedroom, both Kate and Daniel had removed their robes and gazed
their eyes at each other's wonderfully-built bare-ass naked bodies just in
time for Kate to start pumping two of her fingers in and out of her hot, wet
pussy and carressing her own tits with the other hand and Daniel to start
stroking his stiff cock right in front of her before he had moved himself
closer to Kate and started licking all over her nude body -- all the way
down to her hot, moist snatch and carressing her firm breasts.
Then, after she had placed her hands on his bare shoulders and said,
"Aaaahhhh, yeeeessss! That's it! Do it, Daniel! Touch me! Touch me there!
Suck my wet pussy dry! Aaaahhhh!" both Kate and Daniel had laid their nude
bodies on the bed before he had turned himself around and allowed her to
start sucking on his stone hard dick and caused her to realize that even
though she was suppossed to be on the island with the other survivors of
Oceanic Flight 815, she was able to enjoy each and every minute of
experiencing pure and untamed sexual pleasure before Daniel had placed his
stiff cock inside Kate's asshole and used each of his hands to carress both
her stiff mounds and hot and steamy cunt and caused a sexually-energized
Kate to place one of her hands on Daniel's bare shoulder and the other hand
on his bare arm and yell at the top of her lungs, "AAAAHHHH, YES! THAT'S IT!
And after they had started moving themselves harder and faster and their
lovemaking has finally rescued all of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815
from their island prison, both Kate and Daniel had came and collapsed due
to exhaustion just in time for Kate to look at Daniel with a small smile
on her own lips, place her gentle hand on his cheek, let out a sigh and
say, "I really am so glad that I'm here with you, Daniel. This really is a
perfect life for me," before he had looked at Kate with a small smile on
his own lips and said, "Well, Cynthia. I know how we should make it better.
Tomorrow, we should go over to the West Side Market and buy ourselves some
fruits and vegtables and any other goodies that we could get our hands on."
But then, after they had shared a small chuckle between the both of them,
Kate had suddenly began to feel something pull on her and drag her back to
the one place that she had no longer wanted to be anymore... back to the
island prison of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 and that had caused a
frightened Kate to wrap her arms around Daniel, held on to him as tightly
as she had possibly could, closed her eyes and yelled, "PLEASE, DANIEL!
But it was too late because as soon as she had finally opened her eyes and
discovered that she was back at the camp on the island and a smiling Jack
Shephard had looked at Kate and said, "Hey, Kate. I'm so glad that you're
awake. I guess that you won't be volunteering for fire-log duty anytime
soon," the only thing that poor Kate had done was shake her head, allow
tears to run out of her eyes and yell at the top of her lungs, "NO!
NO-NO-NO! I'M NOT SUPPOSSED TO BE HERE!" and even though Jack had tried his
best to calm her down, Kate had ran away from the camp and back to the site
where she had been knocked out-cold by Sawyer, kneeld herself down to the
ground, looked up into the sky and yelled, "PLEASE! IF YOU REALLY DO CARE
But that was before a bald male Oceanic Flight 815 survivor whose name
happens to be John Locke had kneeled himself down to Kate, gently placed her
hands inside his and said, "I'm sorry, Kate. I really am sorry but the island
just does not work like that. You see, you being in the life of that other
woman has been considered a mistake by the island but it has a far better
destiny for us. You just got to have faith, Kate. Do you understand what I'm
saying? You just got to have faith. Now, let's go back to camp before they
start worrying about you," but after they had gotten themselves back up to
their feet and started walking back to camp, a saddened Kate had look up into
the sky one more time and said in a soft voice, "I still love you, Daniel."

Call coach Ricky Smith at 502-594-4252 with questions.
It seems that trash collects in our garbage cans without any effort on our part. Now in the kitchen I understand, unpacking foods, opening cans, little bits of this and that all end up in the garbage can. But then there are the smaller cans in the living room, the bedroom, and the bathroom. Before you know it, tissues and tags and wrappers fill them up as well.
Now let's examine ourselves and see how much faith we have.
As you may have noticed, we have quite the contest going on right now. The 2012 Pet Idol contest boasts a total of over $875 in prizes — not to mention you get to see your pretty little pets in the paper each week through Aug. 8. And while we enjoy seeing all of your cute critters, I feel it's necessary to remind you of the seriousness that fuels this contest.
All money raised during this year's contest goes toward our Newspapers in Education program, which places newspapers in the classrooms in our schools.

History of Newburgh Township, OH
From: A History of Cuyahoga County
and the City of Cleveland
By: William R. Coates
Publishers: The American Historical Society
Chicago and New York, 1924
Survey township number 7 of range 12 was one of the first to be settled in Northern Ohio. Just how the name
was selected and just who was the first settler does not appear in the early annals. The original township "Old
Newburgh" was bounded on the north by Cleveland and Fast Cleveland, on the south by Independence, on the east
by Warrensville, and on the west by Brooklyn. The historic Cuyahoga River was on its western boundary, and we say
"was" because the township as originally formed has passed with the years. Mill Creek flowed across its
southern part, providing good water power. This was early utilized. At its falls in 1799 William J. Wheeler and
Major Wyatt built the first gristmill on the Western Reserve. The Connecticut Land Company furnished the irons,
and David Bryant and his son, Gilman Bryant, who had been quarrying grindstones at Vermillion River, came to Newburgh
and made a pair of millstones. They were quarried about half a mile north of Mill Creek falls. In later years these
stones were great objects of interest and today one is resting, as it has been for years, on the public square
in Cleveland, and another on Broadway in the old Eighteenth Ward. To the pioneer the gristmill was a supreme blessing,
and we today can hardly realize how important a function it filled in pioneer life. No wonder the older members
of the community preserved these relics of bygone days from the Newburgh mill. To this mill came settlers from
all the surrounding territory, and its history, beginning before the nineteenth century came in, is linked with
much of early pioneer life. When this mill was completed and ready for grinding, invitations were sent out for
a grand celebration. At that time there were ten families in Cleveland (none west of the river), and a few single
men. Quite a number came from Euclid, for there was a settlement in that town. The celebration was a success, for
they were celebrating the completion of the first gristmill on the Western Reserve. Newburgh has this distinction,
and that is a notable one in pioneer history.
The Township of Newburgh was organized October 15, 1814, and the first trustees were Giles Barnes, Charles Miles,
and Daniel Marvin, and the first clerk, Erastus Miles. Among those who have served as trustees since have been
James Kingsbury, Y. L. Morgan, J. A. Smith, Ephraim Hubbell, S. S. Baldwin, John Wightman, Jehial Saxton, Aaron
Hubbard, Peter Robison, John Brooks, Theodore Miles, Philemon Baldwin, Cyrenus Ruggles, Lewis Peet, Jesse Harris,
Jonathan Pearse, Moses Jewett, Spencer Warner, Noble Bates, Stephen Titus, A. S. Chapman, Chester Hamilton, Gaius
Burke, Samuel Brooks, A. H. Brainard, Aaron Shepard, Asahel Palmier, A. B. Haight, Jabez Gallup, Stephen Titus,
Heileman White, Y. L. Morgan, Jr., G. Bradford, George Rathbone, John Hopkinson, Nehemiah Marks, B. L. Wiggins,
Eben Miles, F. A. Andrews, Thomas Garfield, Alonzo Carter, Elias Shepard, I. W. Kingsbury, E. G. Simmons, William
Kelly, John T. Worley, N. T. Meech, J. N. Cannell, Samuel Stewart, Henry Marble, I. Brayton, Alexander Topping,
Joseph Turney, A. A. Jewett, Richard Rodway, Clark Caley, A. W. Morgan, Jabez Lovett, Moses Fish, P. Potts, G.
R. Bowman, Thomas Caine, John Hopkinson, J. D. Runnels, William Jorns, C. P. Jewett, Jewett H. Carter, Henry Carter,
James Walker, Edmund James, William E. Edwards, Cornelius Boyle, A. L. Rodway, Jacob Flick, Eli W. Cannell, and
Richard Woodly. Among those who have served the township as clerks have been Erastus Miles, J. H. Shepard, J. G.
Ruggles, Thomas Miles, Justus Remington, R. M. Choate, Daniel Miles, M. R. Hughes, Lewis Peet, William H. Caine,
Justus Hamilton, J. Crays, Jason Hubbell, T. T. Clark, Philemon Baldwin, Anson A. Miles, Thomas A. Bayard, John
Keys, Harvey Burke, E. G. Simmons, H. S. Pratt, Alexander Topping, A. B. Ruggles, E. W. Greenwood, A. J. Hamilton,
Charles O. Evarts, and James Walker. The treasurers have been Theodore Miles, Jedediah Hubbell, Thompson Miles,
Erastus Miles, Peter Robison, Gaius Burke, Justus Hamilton, Gideon Tupper, A. C. Chapman, Philo S. Ruggles, Spencer
Warner, Henry Marble, A. W. Gaylord, C. P. Jewett, Elias Shepard, William Bergen, H. Burkhardt, Moses Fish, E.
T. Hamilton, D. J. Wilder, N. B. Wiggins, H. C. Ruggles, M. M. Jones, A. J. Hamilton, Henry Shanks, and James Walker.
We have mentioned Samuel Hamilton as one of the earliest settlers of Newburgh, coming to the township in 1801.
His son Jestus Hamilton is included in the list and was one of the earliest trustees of the township. Again, a
son of Justus, E. T. Hamilton, was treasurer of the township. His full name was Edwin Timothy Hamilton. His record
as citizen and public official is without a flaw. He rose by successive steps to be judge of the Common Pleas Court
and looked up to as the dean of that court. He was educated in the public schools of Newburgh, afterwards studying
at Allegheny College at Meadville, Pennsylvania. In 1851 he studied law in the office of Kelly, Bolton, and Griswold.
Was a soldier in the Civil war. When by the annexation of certain territory from Newburgh, which contained the
Hamilton farm, the old eighteenth ward was formed in Cleveland, he was one of the two councilmen to first represent
that ward in the city council. Two years later he was elected to the Common Pleas bench to begin a long service
there. Few judges have left so marked a record and so deep an impression on the memory of a generation.

Voting is now open for the Tesco 5p carrier bag fund, where we are one of three charities to benefit.
There is a catch though – you only get a token when you get to the till. But, as every customer gets one regardless, it could go any way.
We're guaranteed £8,000 anyway to install more outdoor fitness equipment in the park – if we win the vote we'll get £12k so it's big stuff for us, oh and you! It applies to all Tesco's shops round Doncaster.
Let the shopping commence – you have until next Sunday!

Female King Alarm employee in fight video was a former cop
The Jamaica Constabulary Force's corporate communications arm confirmed with one876 News that the woman was a member of the force up to a year ago, and based in Clarendon, when she resigned. The JCF did not disclose why she resigned.
She and other members of a King Alarm Armed Response team who were caught in a video of the controversial incident on Monday have been pulled from duty pending an investigation.
The video footage of the incident shows a licensed firearm holder engaged in a heated discussion with KingAlarm security officers about entering the property, before being attacked from behind by a man in civilian clothing said to be a security guard for the complex.
A struggle ensued between the two men and a shot was subsequently fired, hitting the alleged security guard in the neck. The injured man was rushed to the University Hospital of the West Indies, where he was admitted in stable condition.

Renewed hope
For me, it doesn't really matter through which medium I express myself, just that I do when I feel the need.
I chose to write this post now in honor of Natalie and in acknowledgment of the 8th year since she left us. It is still unfathomable to me. Recently I saw two kids (one a 19 month-old boy and the other an 18 month-old girl) and my thoughts immediately went to Natalie who was that age and I thought, "was she that small?" The truth is, I can't really remember how big she was. Gabriel keeps on growing and is now almost 5. He's average size for his age, but it has sort of skewed my recollection or perception of what Natalie was like as a busy, happy little toddler. It makes me feel sad that as time goes on, my memories are starting to fade, too. Of course, there are some priceless treasures that will always remain, but others are definitely growing more dim. It's like losing her all over again.
As this 8th anniversary of her passing approaches, I have have found this year to be difficult and complicated. My involvement with the nursery school that Roslyn was attending at the time in 2007 and that Gabriel is now attending has stirred up a lot of emotions. It has triggered grief in ways I hadn't expected and I have been doing my best to cope with it.
In addition, we are in the thick of planning for Gabriel's schooling next year. He will be in kindergarten. In Providence, kindergarten is a major process involving applications to public charter schools (free and generally considered much better than the regular public schools) and private schools, going to open houses, visiting days, evaluations, etc. It's all been such an ordeal that has left me utterly exhausted. Getting into a charter school seems to be what most people want for their child. It seems to be the best of all worlds -- a good education with no price tag (other than the taxes we pay anyway). It is an extremely competitive process as there are very limited spots and hundreds and hundreds of applications for the lottery. Roslyn did not get chosen in any of the lotteries, which left us with only one option -- regular public school. It didn't go well for her and we ended up sending her to private school for first grade. Fortunately, it all worked out in the end, though we did end up paying quite a bit for her elementary education (all worth it, but we have our limits).

What good news! I'm happy for you.
I remember Natalie being small, I mean compact. But she seemed very substantial for her size. And of course the drool-absorbing diaper added some heft!
Have you noticed if your garden is in bloom under the snow?

Thank you for making me laugh (and cry), Katy! Yes, the drool diaper was quite something wasn't it?! Her garden is still buried so deep, so I can't tell if anything is trying to come up yet. A few more days like today and it'll be gone soon. Thank you for sharing your memories. You have no idea what it means to me to hear what other people remember about her. I am in my own head so much about her, it is so great to know others have their own recollections, too! Best gift in a long time! Thank you!

As it is "Back To School" time, either the kids or I repeatedly get asked, "Are you ready to go back to school?" To which we proudly answer, "We homeschool, but yes, we're ready to start."
As you might already know, or can now guess, we've decided to homeschool our children.
Some people say something like, "Oh." Or, simply do not reply. But the vast majority responds with, "Why?"
And so, though I don't feel I owe anyone earthly an explanation, I will attempt to explain why we choose to homeschool.
1. It's our God-given right.
2. We feel called by God to do so.
3. We feel convicted that it is the best thing for our children. After all, if God chose us to be their parents, shouldn't we also be their teachers?
4. We want to raise godly, responsible, accountable, intelligent children who are willing to serve others selflessly. In order to accomplish this goal, we feel we need to educate at home.
These reasons are by no means the only reasons, and I could launch into a lengthy explanation of the problems and issues we've had with public and private schools, but those things are just the gravy. The meat of it is this: God has convicted us to homeschool. Period. End of story.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

It would also be great if we could automate complaint emails about missing NEWS entries, doc, and tests so I wouldn't have to do it. :-) Unless anyone has better ideas how to improve Python. n

Cold Roll Mezzanine
Cold rolled refers to the method of bending sheet metal into "c" channel to use as the understructure of the mezzanine floor. These cold rolled pieces attach to the tubular steel or tapered columns and provide the "beams" that support the floor. Cold rolled has two major benefits over structural steel mezzanines. First, the material is much lighter than structural steel and therefore less expensive to ship. This usually means there is also less equipment needed to erect the structure on site. Second, cold rolled steel can be pre-galvanized; offering a substantial savings over hot dipped galvanized, stainless steel, or aluminum mezzanines. A disadvantage of cold rolled steel mezzanine systems is the very limited column spacing (usually 10' – 15' max). They are also unable to reach the high live loads or heavily concentrated point loads that can be accomplished with structural steel mezzanine systems.
- Cold rolled systems can be pre-galvanized whereas structural steel must be hot-dipped in order to become galvanized.
- Decking options systems include: B-deck and plywood, bar grating, and plank decking.
- Cold rolled systems will tend to be cheaper (partly due to less freight cost), but offer fewer options and have lower column spacing and load rating maximums.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Charlie Brown]
Yeah, there's a Transformer
Topic of the tropic up on a corner
Babbling about he's slinging rocks on the block
With a knot, yell "Stop!"
Next (we have) it's (too bad)
Transformers on cue - gas
Try to say Brown is skin puller
Hitting nuff skins so relax, Ken
But no, gradually the stakes grip
Contradict, flip, trip and slip
Peekaboo I see you
(What you gonna do?)
From the shotgun to every other crook
Look at the book for the days of Turtle Hook
The one in the middle, bust this riddle
My laugh, ah, giggle
It took a longwinded one
To see what I've done, shine like a sun
I'm not mad because you get what you deserve
True your picture was kicked to the curb
Jeckyl and Hyde side, no pride, slide
On society's blind
Backstage underage, you're on
No credit when I said it, ah, transform
That ain't right, that ain't right, that ain't right
Peer pressure
That ain't right, that ain't right, that ain't right
[Dinco D]
Hello my darling, hello my buddy, hello my old time pal
Switch the pitch from a curve to a straight ball
Vibes of tribes of people we call
(Formers!) Formers, Transformers
Robotic chaotic like daughters
Of cosmic shock, brain shock
Change the sundial, see the shadow clock
Time rewind, audio-visual
Don't record, keep invisible
And don't buy the apple that's rotten
Cos from New York to Europe, dealers has gotten
Evil, dropping, dime dropping
Backstabbing, crooked be whopping
Now somehow anyhow in '90
Two-faced misplaced by the bass just find me
Checking, one two mic checking
Or wrecking so step to the deck and yeah
Prepare, ask what's here
And transform
[Hook x2]
[Busta Rhymes]
How many many times (times) you (you) you try (try)
To front on this (this)
If you try to flip gonna get a whip aimed direct to them lips, bow!
Transformer see you around the corner
If you keep keep living like that you're gonna be a goner
I couldn't understand I'm a man on the right path
Try to front like I'm a stranger
That put up and pushed the kid
But then bumped his head and then caught amnesia
Said back to the facts and the truth and the wack ways
Of his fake character
You two-faced behind a fat steak only cutting your grass
It's a little bit shorter
Better chill-ch-chill and relax
That make the kids get broke backs
Wild 'bout a little brown sugar
Before you transformed I knew ya
You better identify some desire by self and understand self
Peer pressure made you a Transformer
You know what I'm saying?
Back to the rhythm in fact here I come
Want to follow wack kids go ahead act dumb
One day you'll awake and maybe see the light
Cos what I been saying my man my mellow check it out now huh!
[Hook x2]
Peer pressure
Transformers (repeat to fade)

Dark Latkes for the Festival of Lights
From a theological standpoint, Hanukkah is not a significant holiday. From a cultural standpoint, Hanukkah is great! The date varies but it usually takes place some time in December, that is, some time when we could all use as many lights and social gatherings as we can get, and Hanukkah offers 8 days of festivities. 8 days is enough for me to catch up. The first day of Hanukkah was last Friday. I made my latkes - traditional potato pancakes - last night
I miss a lot of things about Canada and multiculturalism tops the list. Needless to say, there is not a huge Jewish community here in Heidelberg, although there is a synagogue and a Jewish University. While they are very open at both institutes (I visited the one and took a class at the other), I never found the same sort of integration that I felt is so natural in Canada. I felt really sad when someone at the synagogue said, "we haven't had any troubles, but on the high holy days, it's still nice to have a police car patrolling the area". I know there is a huge amount of baggage that I am not willing to discuss, nor am I willing to judge one side or the other. I'm selfish & I just want a good latke.
Potato pancakes exist in Germany. They are called "Kartoffelpuffer", "Reibekuchen" or an assortment of other names. They are common for the area that was once the Holy German Empire (Germany, Bohemia, Poland, parts of Austria). These foods that were so common for the area seem to be the dishes that Jews from Eastern Europe (Ashkenazic Jews) took with them to North America. These "Kartoffelpuffer" are present at every Christmas market, indicating that the dish is of local significance, not religious significance. What I don't like around here is that they are only available with applesauce, not sour cream. In Düsseldorf, I had some with herbed Quark (a kind of cream cheese). I was all over it. To top my latkes (or Kartoffelpuffer, or potato pancakes), I used skim quark with a pinch of herbes de provence (my secret ingredient) as well as chives and parsley.
The potatoes are Vitelotte, a dark potato that retains its colour when cooked. They were, honestly, this dark. I added beets and carrots to make me feel less guilty about eating fried food. But let's be honest, the festival of lights is only possible because there was enough oil to light the lamps for 8 days. Oil is an essential part of the holiday. If I only celebrate one of the 8 days, my arteries aren't doing too badly.
Happy Hanukkah to everyone! Enjoy the lights and the fried food!
Midnight Latkes
300g Vitelotte potatoes (or another purple variety)
200g beets
1 carrot
2 eggs
oil to fry
Grate potatoes. Place in bowl of water to allow starch & liquid to escape. Squeeze all liquid out of potatoes and, if possible, retain starch. Add to a large bowl. Grate beets and carrots, squeezing out liquid. Add egg and salt and mix.
Heat oil in a skillet and when hot (a toothpick should bubble) place 2Tbsp lumps of latke batter into oil. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
Cook until solid, turn & continue cooking. Place on a plate with lots of paper towels, and keep warm in the oven.
Serve with apple sauce and skim cream.
Skim Cream
150g quark
1 tsp herbes de provence
1 tsp chopped chives
1 tsp chopped parsley
salt to taste
Mix all ingredients. Allow to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.

It was an awesome experience everybody was very pleasant and keen to assist environment was very calm not overcrowded or loud liked it!! Gross sales rep was very kind and friendly, he answered all the questions that I had and continued to ask if he could help with anything else to let him know. As always Carlos was on high of everything and I could not be any happier. Top notch service and will probably be again time and again.
You'll be able to see the rise in imports from much lower than 1% within the 1960s to about 2% of US GDP within the mid 2000s (until the good recession hit). The other attention-grabbing issue is that consumption of autos (as a fraction of the financial system) started a critical decline within the early 2000s. That's going to complicate the analysis which I will take up again in the next submit.
While President Trump has called for main spending on infrastructure, cities like Omaha have resorted to unusual solutions to problems unlikely to see federal funding. Searches of Audi offices threaten to wreck the image of one among Volkswagen's main sources of badly needed revenue.

Unlike a conventional mouse, which you grip with your hand parallel to the desktop, the optical VerticalMouse lets you work in a relaxed handshake position that eliminates unnatural forearm twisting — a potential factor in carpal tunnel syndrome and other mouse-related injuries.
Shaped like a convex dome, with the main action buttons and a scroll wheel on the right side, the optical mouse has a total of five programmable buttons. Even if you don't install its software, the VerticalMouse will perform basic functions with the left and right buttons and the scroll wheel when you plug it into a PC's USB port.
I was a bit sceptical before I tested a preproduction unit, but within minutes the surprising comfort of working at an upright angle completely won me over. No longer was I twisting my forearm to accommodate the mouse — it accommodated me. Moulded nicely to fit the hand, the mouse allowed my thumb to rest in a balanced position with access to a programmable thumb button.
If your current mouse gives your forearm occasional cramps, the VerticalMouse could be a pointer in the right direction.

The summer is gone, so there will be fewer days spent lying around in the sun the next few months. But that doesn't mean there can't be brighter days ahead. Remember drifting away in crooked chairs on the lumpy lawn, thinking how nice your own patio would be? Now's the time to turn those fuzzy dreams into concrete reality. Despite stiff competition from wooden decks, the backyard concrete patio is a simple and elegant solution to too much yard and not enough places to sit. Perfect for entertaining, hard-surface gaming or pure enjoyment, the concrete patio is hard to beat, and you can do it yourself in a few easy steps. Can you dig it? Take that first big step with a little prep. Plan your work and work your plan. How much is too much? Just need a little...Read more

26 September 1855
On this day, the first railway line in NSW was opened. The 22km 'Great Trunk Line' operated from Sydney (Redfern) to Parramatta with stations at Newtown, Ashfield, Burwood, Homebush and Parramatta Junction at Granville. The Sydney terminal was on the south side of Devonshire Street, just south of the current location of Central Station.
Opening of the Sydney to Parramatta railway, with the vice-regal train driven by William Sixsmith, would have passed what is now Strathfield station at about 11.40 a.m. Fares were high: first class 4s, second class 3s and third class 2s. Over 4000 people travelled on the first day with the journey taking 40 minutes, a revolutionary improvement.
Opening of Homebush station at a cost of £275. The station provided revenue because of substantial traffic to Homebush Racecourse. The station was officially 12.74 kilometres from the city and was also valuable because of its proximity to Parramatta Road. Both platforms were 99 metres long. Racecourse traffic was only maintained for about five years after the original opening because the racecourse was moved to Randwick.
In its first full year of operation of the new rail line between Sydney and Parramatta over 350,000 passengers had used the new rail service.
A goods siding was opened at Homebush and during the 1860s a station master's cottage was constructed at Homebush as well as cattle and sheep yards at the western end of the station.
Cattle yards erected at Homebush station and progressively expanded until Homebush became the Saleyards for Sydney.
Deputation by Sir Daniel Cooper, a Director of the Sydney Tramroad and Railway Company for a 'halt' without a formal platform to be erected at the new estate called 'Redmyre'.
9 July 1876
A 'halt' established where passengers flagged down the train approved for Redmyre at about the current site of Strathfield Station. The halt officially called Redmyre.
Platforms completed at Redmyre. About 68 metres long, relatively short. At this time there were 13 trains running between 11am and 11pm. The trip from Sydney took approximately 28 minutes with 5 intermediate stops.
The timetable of July 9 1877 indicated that 66 passenger trains normally passed through Strathfield Station Monday to Fridays. Of these about 20 stopped 'when required' and approximately three made regular stops. The time of the journey was about 28 minutes with five intermediate stations.
The Stockyards opened at Homebush adjacent to Flemington Rail Station. By 1883, 42 trains were scheduled to service Strathfield with an average trip taking 31 minutes with 9 intermediate stops.
Flemington Station opened as two platforms with a waiting shed and goods office. A footbridge connected the station with the saleyards completed in the previous year.
The stockyards at Homebush Station closed.
Redmyre Station renamed Strathfield at the request of Strathfield Council. In the same year the number of platforms increased from 2 to 4 to serve the newly opened Strathfield-Hornsby Branch.
Major work and new long platforms, 134 metres, for the opening of the new northern line that reached Hornsby in 1894.
The timetable of July 9 1877 indicated that 66 passenger trains normally passed through Strathfield Station Monday to Fridays. Of these about 20 stopped 'when required' and approximately three made regular stops. The time of the journey was about 28 minutes with five intermediate stations.
By May 1887 traffic had increased to 100 trains per day, 80 making regular stops, with 66 extra on Saturdays, on which 40 stopped. The time of the journey had increased to 31 minutes with 10 intermediate stops.
Two private carriage works were located near Strathfield Station. The first, Carnes Car Building Company, had a siding and works on the northern side of the station. This Company commenced work in 1890 and at some later date the siding was closed. The second company engaged in the construction of the rolling stock was J. Morrison Company, whose business commenced in 1889 and ceased in 1895.
During the 1890s loop lines were made to the Homebush saleyards.
Quadruplication of lines between Sydney and Homebush.
Loopline built between the main and northern lines at Homebush to connect with the saleyards. Homebush platforms moved approximately 45 metres to the west.
Area over Beresford Road Strathfield acquired to erect a carriage shed to accommodate carriages and engines used in the Sydney-Homebush suburban service. The shed was converted to a workshop for the Railway Institute in 1945.
3 July 1892
New footbridge and station buildings erected at Homebush station. Completion of four tracks from Homebush to the city, greatly improving travel speeds and allowing express trains from Homebush to Sydney.
Island platform at Strathfield widened and a 21 metre wide overhead bridge built with accommodation for offices and platform access.
23 September 1901
The new Strathfield Station was opened to the public.
New Station Master's residence built at Homebush.
Branch line extended to connect with the new Enfield Marshalling Yards.
Construction of completely new station with major roadworks. Six tracks now at station.
27 August 1928
Electrification: Homebush to Sydney.
Death of Stationmaster in rail accident. The following plaque was erected on Platform 3 at Strathfield Station.
'Frank Thomson, Platform 3, Strathfield Station, Strathfield. Erected in memory of the stationmaster who lost his life in the course of his duties 20.9.1972.' Apparently Thomson lost his life when he was stabbed attempting to stop a person without a rail ticket.
The Strathfield Rail Station and Complex (including underbridges) was gazetted as a heritage item on the State Heritage Register and Strathfield Council Local Environmental Plan.

Brandon and Bridgett initially met when they were younger. She hit his brother's Ferrari with her mother's car. She fled from the scene after giving him a fake phone number, and they met again when she moved back to Florida. He was the CEO of Wells Circle Cosmetics company and she was the CFO of his cousin, Sasha's, company.
I like the story, but there were many people in it, which made it difficult, at times, to keep up with who was who. Brandon or Bridgett were not looking for a relationship, per se, when they were initially introduced. Little did they know that they had developed a really good friendship while playing a video game online, using aliases, of course. Through the course of their conversations he eventually figured out who she was and created a game, in which she tried to guess who he was. He declared, in the process, that he was interested in seeing her on a regular basis and that intrigued her, so she continued to guess at who he might be. He revealed himself to her and they embarked on a relationship. It was when they established their relationship that her hurtful, abusive past tried to come back and haunt her.
Brandon was injured in a car accident (that really wasn't) thereby causing him to be in the hospital for several days. That was when the true nature of their enemies was slowly revealed. Brandon and Bridgett will both have to confront people from their past in order to move forward with their future.

A Boca Raton church pastor, (Church of All Nations) wanted to have similar design to existing podium with brushed aluminum. Another online company made the podium, I just did the communtion table, with brushed aluminum laminate over wood. I couldn't find the appropriate solid aluminum profiles. Church furniture is not my specialty, but these people are so easy to work with, I took the job. There were some mid job design changes, but everyone seemed satified. Notice other exsisting acrylic work in the backround, the drum sound shields. Price wise, things are much more competitive now with many online vendors. Custom designs like this are not "off the shelf" priced. When you factor shipping and crate charges for oversize components, buying local makes sense. Simple press-on lettering "this do in remembrance of me" , can be ordered at most sign shops.
The dimensions are 54" wide, and 38" high.


text: Officials cite security reasons for refusing access to information about the raid in Abbottabad [GALLO/GETTY] Public disclosure of graphic photos and video taken of Osama bin Laden after US commandos killed him would damage national security and lead to attacks on US property and personnel, the Obama administration contends in a court documents. In a response late on Monday to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group seeking the imagery, Justice Department lawyers said the CIA found 52 photographs and video recordings of the May 1 operation in Pakistan. They argued that the images of the deceased bin Laden were classified and were being withheld from the public to avoid inciting violence against US citizens overseas and compromising secret systems and techniques used by the CIA and the military. The Justice Department has asked the court to dismiss Judicial Watch's lawsuit because the records the group wants are "wholly exempt from disclosure", according to the filing. Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, accused the Obama administration of making a "political decision" to keep the bin Laden imagery secret. "We shouldn't throw out our transparency laws because complying with them might offend terrorists," Fitton said in a statement. "The historical record of Osama bin Laden's death should be released to the American people as the law requires." 'Gruesome images' The AP news agency also filed Freedom of Information Act requests to review a range of related materials, such as contingency plans for bin Laden's capture, reports on the performance of equipment during the assault on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan and copies of DNA tests confirming the al-Qaida leader's identity. AP has also asked for video and photographs taken from the mission, including photos made of bin Laden after he was killed. The Obama administration refused AP's request to expedite the process, which could allow a decision to be delayed for months and even years. The news agency submitted its request to the Pentagon less than one day after bin Laden's death. In a declaration included in the documents, John Bennett, director of the CIA's National Clandestine Service, said many of the photos and video recordings were "quite graphic, as they depict the fatal bullet wound to [bin Laden] and other similarly gruesome images of his corpse." Images were taken of bin Laden's body at the Abbottabad compound, where he was killed by a Navy SEAL team, and during his burial at sea from the USS Carl Vinson, Bennett said. "The public release of the responsive records would provide terrorist groups and other entities hostile to the United States with information to create propaganda," Bennet wrote, "which, in turn, could be used to recruit, raise funds, inflame tensions, or rally support for causes and actions that reasonably could be expected to result in exceptionally grave damage to both the national defense and foreign relations of the United States." Navy Admiral William McRaven, the top officer at US Special Operations Command, said in a separate declaration that releasing the imagery could put the special operations team that carried out the assault on bin Laden's compound at risk by making them "more readily identifiable in the future".

At the then Oslo Conservatory of Music (now the Norwegian Academy of Music), where Nordheim studied from 1948 to 1952, he started out as a theory and organ student, but changed to composition, studying with Karl August Andersen (1903–1970), Bjarne Brustad, and Conrad Baden. Then in 1955 he studied with Vagn Holmboe in Copenhagen,[2] and studied musique concrète in Paris. Later he studied electronic music in Bilthoven (1959), and paid many visits to the Studio Eksperymentalne of Polish Radio (1967–1972), where many of his early electronic works were realised (including Pace, Solitaire, and Lux et tenebrae (Poly-Poly)). In 2005, many lost and forgotten tapes of electronic compositions for radio drama for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) were rediscovered, reminding us that Nordheim also developed his electronic musical language in his home country.[3]
His Essay for string quartet was first performed in Stockholm in 1954, but Nordheim always considered his String Quartet of 1956 as his Opus 1. His musical output is focused around themes of 'solitude, death, love, and landscape';[4] these themes are already evident in his song cycle Aftonland (Evening Land, 1959), a setting of poems by the Swedish poet Pär Lagerkvist, which brought him national recognition. The 1961 Canzona per orchestra was his international breakthrough. Inspired by Giovanni Gabrieli's canzone, the work showcases Nordheim's historical leanings, as well as his occupation with space as a parameter of music. Nordheim's spatial concerns, coupled with his focus on death and human suffering, are brought together in what is arguably his most famous work, Epitaffio per orchestra e nastro magnetico (1963). Written in memory of the Norwegian flautist Alf Andersen, who died that year at a very young age, the work incorporated Salvatore Quasimodo's poem Ed è sùbito sera. Originally conceived for orchestra and chorus, Nordheim realised that his wish to have the whole performance space 'singing' was better achieved with the use of electronic means. The result is a remarkable, almost imperceptible, blending of the orchestral sounds with the choral sounds of the tape, where the final line 'ed è sùbito sera' ('and suddenly it is evening') is the only part of the text that can be heard.
His later compositions include The Tempest (1979), Klokkesong (1984), Magma (1988), the Violin Concerto (1996) and Fonos for trombone and orchestra (2004). Arne Norheim was inspired by the neumes and the sound of the medieval bells in Kaupanger stave church in composing the work Klokkesong, which was first performed in the church. In The Tempest, a ballet based on Shakespeare's play, electronics and orchestral sounds are again mixed, while the focus is more strongly on vocal music (e.g. the 'double voice' of Caliban), while Nordheim's continued use of historical elements is shown by the incorporation of Leonardo da Vinci's musical rebus, which solved reads Amore sol la mi fa remirare, la sol mi fa sollecita.
Draumkvedet is a monumental stage work for orchestra, (acting) chamber choir, soloists and dancers, and was performed 40 times in 1994 with the Broadcasting Corporation Radio Orchestra and Grex Vocalis. A recording featuring these performing forces conducted by Ingar Bergby was made in 2001, and released in 2006 as a two CD set on the Simax label (Simax PSC 1169). Based on a medieval Norwegian poem (Draumkvedet, The Dream Song), the work was composed in honor of the millennium of the city of Trondheim in 1997.
Astronomical honor
3457 Arnenordheim, a minor planet circling the sun in the main asteroid belt between the planets Mars and Jupiter was named for the composer after its discovery in 1985.
Cultural references
- Arne Nordheim's popularity grew enormously when Frank Zappa arrived in Copenhagen in 1973, and told journalists he wanted to meet Arne Nordheim. Later, Zappa performed in Norway with Nordheim as a VIP guest. A lifelong friendship developed between the two, and Nordheim was invited to the US, while Zappa always visited Nordheim when performing in Norway.[6]

Prominent Arabs
blame 9-11 on Jews
Middle East media filled with talk of 'Zionist conspiracy'
High-ranking public officials and prominent columnists in the Middle East are promoting a claim that Jews perpetrated the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon, according to Arab media sources translated by MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute.
Many columnists in the Arab press maintain that no Arab was responsible for the attacks. Palestinian columnist Khalil Al-Sawahri insisted in the Palestinian Authority-sponsored daily Al-Ayyam that a letter left by a hijacker was forged.
"Its disseminators are the circles of Orientalists who are making efforts to tarnish the image of the Arab Muslim," he wrote.
While many in the Middle East speculate the culprit could be the U.S. itself, the most popular view among Arab media reviewed by MEMRI is that Israel, world Zionism, the Mossad, or, simply, the Jews carried out the attacks.
Syrian foreign minister Mustafa Tlass has claimed that the Mossad planned the ramming of two hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center towers as part of a Jewish conspiracy.
Rakan Al-Majali, a columnist for the Jordanian government daily Al-Dustour, wrote: "It is obvious that Israel is the one to gain greatly from this bloody, loathsome and terrible terror operation, and it seeks to gain further by accusing the Arabs and Muslims of carrying it out."
In Iran, Parliament Chairman Mahdi Karrubi wondered whether "Zionists in Israel plotted the terror operation in order to blacken the faces of the Muslims."
'Jews were warned to stay home'
The claim that Jewish employees were warned not to come to work at the WTC on Sept. 11 was quickly accepted by the Arab media as incontrovertible fact, according to MEMRI.
Syrian ambassador to Tehran Turky Muhammad Saqr said at a conference held at the Iranian Foreign Ministry: "Syria has documented proof of the Zionist regime's involvement in the September 11 terror attacks on the U.S." and that "4,000 Jews employed at the WTC did not show up for work before the attack clearly attests to Zionist involvement in these attacks."
The Iranian daily Kayhan also referred to this "fact": "It is known that 4,000 Jews worked at the WTC in New York and that these people did not come to work that day."
In an editorial, the Saudi Arabian government daily 'Ukkaz said "six Israelis suspected of involvement in New York and Washington were arrested in the U.S., to be later released. This confirms our strong suspicions about the involvement of Israel's Mossad in the ugly crime."
The Egyptian opposition weekly Al-'Usbu' published that as a scoop, building it up somewhat and giving it the title, "True Perpetrators of the September 11 Attacks Arrested – Zionists with Maps of the WTC, the Pentagon, and the White House and Large Quantities of Anthrax."
Ambassador Saqr viewed Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's unexpected postponement of his visit to the U.S. as "additional proof linking the Zionists with this tragedy."
Syrian columnist Mu'taz Al-Khatib gave another example in Al-Hayat: "Barak's presence in the BBC's head office minutes after the explosion, at a meeting set in advance, to speak for 30 minutes of the danger of terrorism and chastise the 'rogue states,' particularly the Arab" was, he said, further proof of Israel's involvement.
Some speculated on how Israel carried out the attack.
Orkhan Muhammad Ali wrote in Saut Al-Haqq Wa-Al-Hurriyya, the mouthpiece for the Islamic Movement in Israel, that the planes had not been hijacked – rather, they had been directed by remote control using a system developed by a Jewish-owned company.
'Zionists control media'
Many claimed Jewish involvement in the events of September 11 was never reported because the Jews control the American media.
Egypt's Sheikh Muhammad Gamei'a, formerly both Al-Azhar University's representative in the U.S. and imam of the Islamic Cultural Center and Mosque of New York City, claims that a group of people attacked his home in the U.S. because of their anger toward Muslims. "(But) during my conversations with this group, it became clear to me that they knew very well that the Jews were behind these ugly acts, while we, the Arabs, were innocent," he said. "None had the courage to say this in public," Gamei'a claimed. "They said: 'You know very well that the Zionists control everything … .'"
A comprehensive article in Egypt's Al Ahram by Ahmad Abu Zayid, titled "The Jews Are Behind the Explosions in America," submitted 14 "pieces of evidence" that Israel and the Mossad were involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.
It asserted many claims published in other media, including a stock sell-off by Jews two days before the event and that "no Jew was hurt in the incident."
Zayid wrote that federal investigators "arrested a group of Jews who set up video cameras on the roof of one of the Israeli companies across from the WTC a little while before the incident, in order to film the moment of the explosions. This proves that Zionist elements knew what was about to happen."
"The Mossad is the only one that could have breached American security," Zayid wrote. "Only the Zionists get the trust of the Americans, enabling them to carry out such an operation without accusations being leveled at them."
Egypt's Sheikh Gamei'a hinted at the punishment Jews should receive for their deeds: annihilation as attempted by Adolf Hitler.
"I told the American officials that the American people cannot, at this critical stage, know the real enemy who struck at its heart if it does not awaken from its slumber and stop blaming the Arabs and the Muslims," Gamei'a said in an interview published on Al-Azhar University's unofficial website.
"Immediately after the event," he continued, "some 30 percent of the American people awakened (and realized) that they were the victims of deception on the part of the Jews, who presented the Arabs and the Muslims to them as a nation of barbarians and blood-shedders. It became clear to the American people that hidden hands were at play in their land. I heard from many Americans who visited me at the Islamic Center that they had been misled by the Jews and thus had come to express their support for the Arabs and Muslims. They said openly, We were deceived. …
"If this (deceit) were to be known to the American people, they would do to the Jews what Hitler did to them."

Sometimes, when I begin classes, I get the impression that the students resent my interrupting their conversations. Few of them take notes, and I unconsciously make an effort to be more entertaining…. Today's tenure process, particularly the requirement that one get high scores on student evaluations, makes it extraordinarily hard to demand as much from students and to use the fear of disapproval as a motivation. It's hard to deny there is a direct correlation between high scores on student evaluations, grade inflation, and the relaxation of standards. | From the perspective of more than a decade, I can see how much I learned from the old lions, but, if they had been required to hand out student evaluations, my younger self would have punished them with the lowest possible scores.–"Thomas H.

Four Common Online Marketing Challenges and How to Eliminate Them
Four Common Online Marketing Challenges and How to Eliminate Them.
Ever questioned why your online advertising efforts aren't producing the sales outcomes you expected?
You hear of a lot a lot of effective marketers online, who are making a lot of cash. But you have tried and tried without any real success? And you have gotten training plan after training plan and still no genuine luck? And you are practically ready to toss in the towel?
Although it can be irritating when your advertising efforts fizzle, you can typically recognize-- and repair-- the issues with a bit of time and effort. Here are four common online marketing difficulties and some suggestions for overcoming them.
1. Spreading yourself too thin-- Just since Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest are popular social media devices for the online marketer, it does not mean you ought to be on each and every platform.
Pick one social media outlet and become a professional. Focus all your attention on it and do not stop until you are making a considerable income utilizing it. Each social media outlet needs various marketing techniques. And if you do not actually learn how to master one you will never ever be successful.
2. Blasting out a lot of advertisements-- Social networks like Facebook and Twitter are not just for plastering advertising and advertising messages throughout followers' news feeds. In fact, by plastering those advertisements you are in fact turning individuals off. Individuals get those ads ALL THE TIME. Don't fall under that trap. There are much better and more reliable means to make use of these social networks.
To avoid frustrating clients with promotions, reserved a long time to think about the content you're supplying. If you offer knapsacks, provide pointers on the very best knapsack designs for various needs or consist of info on activities connected to backpacks, such as travel.
If you're catering to a certain city or area, weave local taste into the content. This could be anything from speaking about a local sports group [or] the weather to sponsoring a Little League team or charity event. These efforts will hopefully result in a group of followers who are open to the occasional promotion.
It can not be said enough that you must lead with material. Provide more value than you are trying to gain monetarily, and the income fill come to you naturally.
3. Struggling with stale content. If you've worked to develop (or spent for) a lovely site or blog site design however do not post new information on a routine basis, prospective consumers may click in other places.
If you do not have time to keep content fresh, think about paying another person to do this for you. There are lots of sources like Fiver to discover people that can do some of this work for you reasonably inexpensively. If that's not possible, set aside a small quantity of time each day, or several times a week, to concentrate on your online efforts.
Another means to keeping content fresh is to include readers. Attempt posting open-ended questions or remarks and asking the audience to share their opinions or ideas. By learning more about your followers, you'll be able to customize your next sales offer to their interests and requirements.
4. Getting high traffic however low sales. If you have a huge online following, however couple of clients who make purchases, you may have to tweak your efforts. Start by evaluating your goals. For example, if you really want blog readers to register for your e-mail newsletter, make it simple to do so. Discuss the newsletter in your posts, and keep the sign-up box displayed in a noticeable location.
With a couple of tweaks to your advertising approach, you will certainly find that you could have significantly improved results.

Mexico: Cocaine found in apparent Social Security truck
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico (AP) - Mexican authorities have seized more than 800 pounds (371 kilograms) of cocaine being transported toward the U.S. border inside a truck bearing the markings of the country's Social Security Institute.
The institute, which runs hospitals and other social services, denied that any of its employees or vehicles were involved in the incident.
A Defense Department statement said soldiers discovered the packets of drugs hidden inside the vehicle's mobile medical scanner at a highway checkpoint Wednesday night.
The white truck had logo that sought to imitate those of one of the social security institute's anti-poverty programs.
The truck had departed the Tamaulipas state capital of Ciudad Victoria bound for Reynosa, across the border from McAllen, Texas.
Soldiers detained three people on board who said they were employees of the Social Security Institute.
The institute later said in a statement that none of the three were its employees.

The last time you saw chef Nealy Frentz's face, it could have been on a giant billboard. Sunday, you'll see her on "Chopped" on the Food Network, along with another area chef, Jason Robertson, who caters for movies and television.
Chef Nealy and husband Keith Frentz own and operate the popular Lola restaurant in a caboose in downtown Covington. They were pictured on Louisiana Seafood billboards for winning the 2012 "King and Queen of Louisiana Seafood" title in the statewide competition (and they came in second in the national competition in August).
Nealy Frentz found out she was pregnant with their second child right after she and Keith returned from taping "Chopped" in New York. The baby is due in a couple of days, and she hopes it doesn't arrive on Sunday so she can watch her episode.
Unlike most "Chopped" shows, the mystery food-basket competition will air at 7 p.m. CST on Sunday, then repeat in the regular time slot, 9 p.m. CST on Tuesday.
The theme is "Leftovers Overload." The Food Network official description: "In this special episode, all the baskets are full of leftover foods, and the four competitors demonstrate some tricks and recipes you might want to try at home. In the first round, one chef makes a very daring soup using pieces of a sub sandwich, and the judges do not know whether to be impressed or frightened.
"Then in the entree round, two competitors think of a similar idea, and the other chef tries to make the argument that creativity with the leftover rib-eye steak is higher in his alternative concept. The two finalists endeavor to create fresh, fun desserts from flat soda, mushy bananas and a melting sundae."
Chef Jason Robertson is a relative newcomer to the area. Two years ago, he packed up his 1986 Streamline trailer and his pickup - both of which run on waste vegetable oil -- and drove cross-country to New Orleans from Portland, Oregon, to do film catering and craft service.
He catered for three weeks on "Django Unchained," Robertson said, although he is not credited in the movie. He worked on photo shoots for Verizon, Viking Range and Clark's (shoes), as well as a film called "Final Witness" and a National Geographic film, "Hidden Worlds." He is currently working on a film called "The Lookalike."
Appearing on "Chopped" "was a terrifying and fun experience," Robertson said. "Really, it was the experience of a lifetime."
Nealy Frentz said it was "kind of a dream come true. I always wanted to be on the Food Network.
"It was exciting. My husband and I both tried out. Only one of us got picked."
The leftovers were a particular challenge, Frentz said, because she doesn't eat them.
"I'm just not much of a leftover person," she said. "I seldom cook at home. I really do eat food we cook at the restaurant."
The way the couple run their 40-seat restaurant (and their food truck, Lola Deux) actually helped her in the competition, Frentz said. Just the two of them do about 180 covers for lunch, and the nights they are open have gotten progressively busier, to the point that reservations are needed more and more often.
"We run a very tight ship, only two people in the kitchen," Frentz said. "I think from both of us being at Brennan's, and it was such a high-volume experience there, that's the only way we know how to operate. If we have only 100 people, it feels slow. We work at a very fast pace."
The two are culinary arts graduates of Johnson & Wales University, and they were both sous chefs at Brennan's. In January 2006 after Hurricane Katrina, they opened Lola in Covington, Keith's home town, where they had evacuated.

Google's G Suite Platform has received a facelift, with the rollout of 20 new updates including phishing prevention, mobile device management, security keys for two-factor authentication, Information Rights Management, and additions to its security centre.
G Suite is Google's collection of cloud-based services for business. They include Gmail, Docs, Drive, and Calendar, amongst others.
In a blog post last week the company explained that while security tools are good at stopping threats at scale, ultimately user adoption relies on ease of use. This, Google says, is why it aims to provide simpler ways for IT admins to manage access, control devices, ensure compliance, and keep data secure.
The new rollouts, most of which will be turned on by default, firstly include anti-phishing prevention through machine learning models. These models will look for threat indicators.
Google says that its updated phishing protection will be able to catch 99.9% of Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams and either send them to the spam folder or flag them with anomaly warnings.
Phishing prevention will also be able to:
Google has also improved G Suite's enterprise-grade mobile management solution to make basic mobile device management automatically enabled. Administrators can see which devices are accessing corporate data; they can enforce pass codes and erase confidential data; and they can automatically protect Android and iOS devices.
G Suite admins will also be able to restrict users' two-step verification methods to security keys only. Google says it recommends security keys over other forms of authentication because they are easy to use and prevent common attacks such as phishing.
Admins will also be able to add and revoke security keys; and view reports on security key usage.
Google has also implemented 'Information Rights Management' (IRM) controls for Team Drives to ensure documents are protected.
Finally, Google says it is offering better security visibility for G Suite admins. Earlier this year the company added its 'security center', a tool that unifies security analytics, insights and best practice recommendations.
New additions include:

Kansas fundie group: Science is a religion, so evolution shouldn't be taught
COPE's stated mission is to "promote objectivity in public school curricula that address religious questions and issues so that the educational effect of the teaching is religiously neutral." But the National Center for Science Education did some digging, and to no one's surprise discovered COPE is a stalking horse for creationist advocacy.
In June 2012, as NCSE previously reported, COPE submitted a critique of the then current draft of the Next Generation Science Standards to the Kansas state board of education. Its vice president Anne Lassey told the Associated Press (June 12, 2012) that the group had members around the nation, although it was founded only in March 2012. At the time, COPE's president was Jorge Fernandez, a self-proclaimed young-earth creationist with publications to his credit in Journal of Creation and on the True.Origin Archive website. Fernandez was evidently replaced by Robert P. Lattimer, who was involved with Science Excellence for All Ohioans, a creationist group that tried to undermine the presentation of evolution in Ohio's state science standards in 2002.In other words--this is classic astroturfing. Based on their backgrounds, one can only conclude that COPE is actually looking for a way to sneak creationism through the back door.

Sure, everything changes once you become a mom, but that doesn't have to mean sacrificing style. Elizabeth Street, an international collective of mothers who understand what it's like to do everything one-handed, is here to help you discover everything from the newest green-friendly beauty products to the chicest home decor ideas — whether you're raising a little one or not.
Baking soda is a pantry staple. You probably have one box deodorizing your fridge right now, while another waits to be used in this weekend's biscuit recipe. But sodium bicarbonate (baking soda's more scientific moniker) is actually one of the most versatile tools in your arsenal. It can be used to replace expensive beauty products or as a substitute for toxic chemicals.
Click through for 10 creative ways to use baking soda in your everyday life from DIY teeth whitening to all-natural exfoliating scrubs.
Instead of using bleach,which can be toxic, whiten clothes with baking soda and vinegar. Add a 1/2 cup of vinegar and a 1/2 cup of baking soda to your wash. Your clothes will be whiter and brighter than ever and stains will disappear.
