This course focuses on providing fundamental principles for the peaceful use of nuclear energy and development of technology related to measurement and detection of nuclear materials. It will provide advanced knowledge of nuclear security, nuclear non-proliferation, and safeguards using demonstrations in mock-up nuclear facilities and classroom lectures. This will be done with a view to raising awareness among the participants – who may deal with threats involving radioactive/nuclear materials in their professional future – and to build a security culture on the model of the safety culture that has already been established and shared between the nuclear member states.
This course is organised by SCK•CEN in collaboration with EC-JRC Geel.
The course is open to Master and PhD students coming from the GENTLE partners, but also to students coming from other institutions, and to professionals dealing with the course topics in their daily practices.
Face to face lectures, hands-on laboratories exercise, participative workshop

June 2012 - Tammuz 5772
The Rabbinical Assembly is outraged by a letter issued on official Israeli government stationery by Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel Shlomo Amar calling for a rally at his office this coming Tuesday. The language used in the statement is inflammatory and inciting, referring to our members as "terrorists" whose "sole intention is to do harm to the holiness of Torah."
The State of Israel and the Jewish people have learned the most bitter lesson in the murder of our beloved Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin (z"l) that incendiary language can result in devastating consequences. We speak as a worldwide Conservative community in demanding that this threat to Masorti rabbis' physical safety, not only their personal integrity, be defended. The Talmud (Arakhin 15b) teaches that hateful speech has the potential to kill. Rabbi Amar's language places all Jewish people at risk of violence, all because Israeli Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein directed that non-Orthodox rabbis in agricultural communities could be paid salaries from non-religious budgets.
The vast majority of the world's Jews do not conform to the unfathomably hateful language of one of the two chief religious leaders funded by the Government of Israel. We ask that the resources of the Jewish state be devoted to teaching and propagating a love of Judaism and the Jewish people. As the Talmud concludes (Arakhin 15b), "What is the remedy for slanderers? If he be a scholar, let him engage in the Torah, as it is said: The healing for the tongue is the tree of life."
Rabbi Gerry Skolnik, president
Rabbi Julie Schonfeld, executive vice president

I searched for my old blog on the Wayback Machine … and low and behold this was the first post that seemed to be saved. Fitting. Timely. Inspirational. I wrote this post the day after David Bowie died. I needed to read it again … and again … and again. I needed to remember. I needed a mirror.
Dear Starman,
I heard the news first thing yesterday morning. Ed told me as he desperately tried to hold back the tears. He didn't want me to find out reading my Facebook feed. He knew that this was personal news, and he was right. I've been crying since.
The news media says, that after 69 years here on Earth, you died on Sunday. How can you die? You're immortal. Maybe they got the message wrong? That's it — they got the message wrong. You just returned back to your home planet, or transformed into the pure stardust of which we knew you were made. But death? It can't be.
Yes, Starman. You blew my mind, just like you thought you would. You also saved my little weird and freaky life from years of pain because you showed me that they are the ones who are wrong. That it is ok and good and artful to be who I truly am: weird, wonderful, artsy, ever-changing, experimental, courageous, and intelligent. You were the beacon for all of us weird kids in a world that desperately tried — and still tries — to demand that we be "normal" … that we wear some kind of uniform … that we find a tribe and fit in. Starman, I never fit in. I was too weird and smart for the Normal Kids, and too "ME" for the Cool, Weird Kids. You know the type. But I was never sad about it because you were with me. You showed me the way. You taught me how to wave my freak flag in front of the firing squad of adversity, and survive.
You've taught me so much, Starman. You taught me about who I am as an artist. You taught me that art is everything: what you produce, what you wear, and who you are. Art and person can not be separated. Once an artist stops creating, once they stop being art, once they stop living art, it's all over. Isn't it? We die inside when we go grey. I forgot this lesson, Starman. I got stuck doing one thing and being one thing. I got trapped … until yesterday when I heard the news. See, I knew it. You are immortal. Perhaps we need to wait for the third day for your glorious resurrection? Or maybe it already happened and you went out like a damned supernova? In death we are saved. Is there truth to this, Starman?
I was always in awe of your ability to transform yourself, to change, to EVOLVE. You shunned the uniform. You taught me not to be afraid of change, that it's ok to constantly transform and experiment. After all, fashion and person are art and we are all the master artists of ourselves. You taught me how to hate uniforms … all uniforms. Move forward. Create. Don't get stuck. THINK. You taught me that there is no such thing as gender and that we can make and remake ourselves at will. I remember my first time playing with androgyny. I cut off all of my beautiful blonde hair and dressed in baggy t-shirts, black ripped up cargo pants, and Converse. I wore little makeup, save dark lipstick. There were beautiful moments when I moved through the streets of NYC as a boy. I felt free and strong. You taught Ed that boys are beautiful in makeup. You'd be proud of Ed. He wore electric blue lipstick like no one else I knew. What freedom you've given us! What delicious freedom to be our true selves without fear. You taught us how to live in an ever-changing, divine, slippery, messy, artistic life with courage and with abandon.
And yet, I'm embarrassed to say, in the last two decades I've wholeheartedly accepted a uniform. Sure, I rebelled against that uniform, but found myself there again because it was comfortable. I lost my way as an artist. I knew it when I saw you at Madison Square Garden. I knew it again when I saw you at the Garden State Art Center. You said to make art. I didn't listen. I didn't make art. I wasn't art.
Other humans don't know that I hate my uniform, just like I hated the Catholic school uniform. Conformity gives me hives, and I have a bad, bad case of them right now. Yes, I remember now … never trust anyone who only does one thing … or is one thing. If it doesn't work, or if it's stale, or if it doesn't work with your present … then change it. Change. Move forward. EVOLVE. MAKE ART. BE ART. I remember. I remember now, Starman.
I'll always remember. Safe travels, Starman. When I look up at the night sky I'll try to find you. I'll wave hello and remember everything you did for me and all of the other freaky, weird kids.
With all my love and thanks,

I know.
While Crockett is out of town, I'm working in his office instead of our kitchen table. Even the glorious window doesn't make this smoothie more attractive, does it?
It was pretty delicious, though. I bought a big flat of peaches over the weekend and peeled, sliced, and froze them. For this smoothie I mixed them with cottage cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg, frozen bananas, and a little vanilla.
Peach pie in an ugly ugly soup.
I love his office, though. The window looks out over the backyard, so when I feel like stopping for a break, I can watch the girls chase squirrels. It's like exercising by association.
Lunch – even cereal is special when you eat it with a spoon that has your initial on it. (Plus fresh peaches. Cereal is special with fresh peaches AND monogrammed spoons.)
After lunch I had to run to the doctor's office. My doctor's office is right next to a big high school, so I thought after my appointment I'd do some track work.
You know what helps with running on a track?
If you put your shoes in your car like you meant to.
Instead of leaving them sitting on the couch.
By the time I'd figured out I didn't have my shoes and had run to the grocery store and had walked the dogs, I no longer had time to run. I had a very exciting happy hour date.
Hellooooo Chilis Happy Hour.
As illustrated by my lovely date, Chili's gives you two tiny drinks for the price of one. I actually sweettalked our server into putting mine in one big glass, but I think Yvonne likes the little glasses. You know, so she can pretend to be a giant.
Everyone likes to pretend to be a giant.

Welcome to Jay Hooker Designs, where I hope my Graphic Arts will transport you to my world of expression. I hope you enjoy the journey. Please return often for new and exciting pieces.
Graphic Design and Photography has always been my passion. Whether it is journalistic in nature, landscape, portrait, fashion or an event. I try and capture the spirit and heartbeat that will evoke an emotion in the viewer. Does my piece tell a story? Is it poetic, unique and artistic? Regardless of what I'm shooting on any given day, it is my hope that my art leaves space for the viewer's imagination and intellectual interpretation.
For the past year I've broaden into mixed media which allows me to combine elements of my graphics and digital techniques into one photo art piece, or a photo art montage as I sometimes refer to them. Two of my most recent series are "Erotic Fantasy" and Mixed Media Fantasy.

Synopsis main content.
Why is it that humans can speak but chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, cannot? The human brain is uniquely wired to produce language. Untangling this wiring is a major frontier of brain research. Peer into the mental machinery behind language with this feature video, which visits a brain-scanning laboratory, Columbia University's Program for Imaging and Cognitive Sciences, or PICS. Columbia neuroscientist Joy Hirsch and New York University psychologist Gary Marcus explain what researchers have learned about how our brain tackles language—and what's left to learn. To find out about the peculiar medical case that launched this field of research in 1861, read the essay From Scalpels to Scanners: Studying the Brain's Language System.

Video Marketing: A Valuable Sales Tool for Real Estate Agents
If you're a real estate agent and don't use video marketing, you're probably missing out on one of the best marketing tools. Let's be clear, though - we're not talking about a polished, high-end and expensive production. Rather this is about a simple, good quality self-made digital video you can post on your website. A digital video can do several things for you:
It can help
establish your credibility
as a realtor.
If you sold a property to a well-known business owner, politician or celebrity, get them to do a 1-3 minute digital recording. People tend to buy products or buy from places where important people in the community shop. Be sure to get their permission, in writing, to use the video on your website and other unspecified advertising. This release will legally protect you in case of some future legal action.
Using a virtual tour video, you can save your clients a lot of time by letting them see prospective residential or commercial sites to decide the ones they actually want to do a physical walk-through.
People use the internet
to help find their next home or business location.
Use the KISS (Keep It Short and Simple) technique when producing your video. Make sure it's no more than three minutes long, otherwise visitors will lose interest. Plain straight-forward videos are best for getting your message across. (This doesn't mean, however, that you can't add a few extras to keep your video from being boring.)
Video marketing can be difficult and intimidating, especially for real estate agents. This is where Bravo comes into play to make the video marketing and testimonial process easier for you. After all, what could be better than leveraging your happy customers to do the talking for you?

At my last job, the .NET developers and InstallShield developers embarked on a collaboration excercise that we called 'setup democratization'. We used a blend of InstallShield and Windows Installer XML. Most developers used Industrial Strength Windows Installer XML ( IsWiX ) to author their WiX code.
I've asked my former colleagues to post their observations. Let's see what candid and anonymous comments they have to share.

|Japanese name
|Romanized name
|Two-mouthed woman
|Human form
|Ehon Hyaku Monogatari
In Japanese mythology and folklore, the futakuchi-onna belongs to the same class of stories as the rokurokubi, kuchisake-onna and the yama-uba, women afflicted with a curse or supernatural disease that transforms them into yōkai. The supernatural nature of the women in these stories is usually concealed until the last minute, when the true self is revealed.
The origin of a futakuchi-onna's second mouth is often linked to how little a woman eats. In many stories, the soon-to-be futakuchi-onna is a wife of a miser and rarely eats. To counteract this, a second mouth mysteriously appears on the back of the woman's head. The second mouth often mumbles spiteful and threatening things to the woman and demands food. If it is not fed, it can screech obscenely and cause the woman tremendous pain. Eventually, the woman's hair begins to move like a pair of serpents, allowing the mouth to help itself to the woman's meals. While no food passes through her normal lips, the mouth in the back of her head consumes twice what the other one would. In another story, the extra mouth is formed when a stingy woman is accidentally hit in the head by her husband's axe while he is chopping wood, and the wound never heals. Other stories have the woman as a mother who lets her stepchild die of starvation while keeping her own offspring well fed; presumably, the spirit of the neglected child lodges itself in the stepmother's or the surviving daughter's body to exact revenge.
Families which notice their food stocks are shrinking at an alarming rate while the women in their houses rarely eat a bite may be the victims of a futakuchi onna infestation. Futakuchi onna appear just as a regular women until their terrible secret is revealed: in the back of their skulls, buried beneath of long, thick hair, is a second mouth, with large, fat lips, and full of teeth. This second mouth is ravenous, and uses long strands of hair like tentacles to gorge itself on any food it can find.
In a small rural village in Fukushima there lived a stingy miser who, because he could not bear the thought of paying for food to support a family, lived entirely by himself. One day he met a woman who did not eat anything at all, and he immediately took her for his wife. Because she never ate a thing, and was still a hard worker, the miser was thrilled with her. However, his stores of rice were steadily decreasing, and he could not figure why, for he never saw his wife eat. One day the miser pretended to leave for work, but instead stayed behind to spy on his new wife. She untied her hair, revealing a second mouth on the back of her head, complete with ghastly lips and teeth. Her hair reached out with tentacle-like stalks and began to scoop rice balls into the second mouth, with cooed out with pleasure in a vulgar, raspy voice.
The miser was horrified and resolved to divorce his wife. However, she learned of his plan before he could act on it, and she trapped him in a bathtub and carried it off into the mountains. The miser managed to escape, and hid in a heavily-scented lily marsh, where the futakuchi-onna could not find him.
Another story tells of a wicked stepmother who always gave plenty of food to her own daughter, but never enough to her stepdaughter. Gradually the stepdaughter grew sicker and sicker, until she starved to death. Forty-nine days later, the wicked stepmother was afflicted with a terrible headache. The back of her head split open, and lips, teeth, and a tongue formed. The new mouth ached with debilitating pain until it was fed, and it shrieked in the voice of the dead stepdaughter. From then on the stepmother always had to feed both of her mouths, and always felt the hunger pangs of the stepdaughter she murdered.
In mediaEdit
- The long-running anime series Gegege no Kitarō often features Futakuchi-onna as an antagonist to Kitaro. Her skin is a pale white with raven black hair which can form snake-like ropes that stretch out and snare victims, often to pull them towards her horrifically large mouth on the back of her head which has sharp teeth. She is also known to work with other Yōkai antagonists Kamaitachi and Tantanbō.
- The 2005 movie "The Great Yokai War" briefly features a futakuchi-onna.
- In the video game The Last Blade, the character Akari Ichijou uses various attacks that involve yōkai. One of them is a special move that summons "a hundred yōkai" that parade across the screen in a procession. A futakuchi-onna is featured in this procession.
- Samurai Sentai Shinkenger and Power Rangers Samurai villain Tayu Usukawa is themed after the Futakuchi-onna.
- The television horror anthology series Masters of Horror featured a creature similar to a futakuchi-onna as a main character in the episode, Imprint.
- The Pokémon Mawile is based on the futakuchi-onna.
- In the video game Skullgirls, Filia bears a resemblance to the futakuchi-onna, with Samson, a parasite taking the place of her hair, acting as the second mouth.
- In the video game Ragnarok Online, the Miyabi Doll creature is based on futakuchi-onna.
- In the animated series Adventure Time, the "Fruit Witches" appear to be based on the futakuchi-onna.
- The comic Eerie Cuties featured a Futakuchi-onna as a history teacher.
- The adult-oriented strategy game Sengoku Rance features a female ninja character named "Orime" who is based off the Futakuchi-onna.

But Hans, you must remember having seen that code too, since you looked over my shoulder when I wrote it in Münster ;-) I remember having modified it later on, especially for the mag problem (you probably have to replace the test around size with "if size < 0 then size = -size * 655360 end", and "mag = size / 2048" with "mag = size / ttfont.units_per_em"). The setting of vertical must be an even later addition by Yannis. Anyway, I will test the code with the latest revision of LuaTeX and update the wiki as needed. Arthur

It's always the same at this time of year, I race to make sure I've made all my summer favorites as the month of August marches on. The farmer's market is at its absolute height right now, and the colorful heirloom tomatoes are finally here. They were a little late this season and I was starting to worry. My favorites are the teeny tiny ones, I use them for salads, salsas, and this focaccia bread.
I love my focaccia recipe, I've been making it for years and it always comes out perfectly. It takes a little over an hour to make from start to finish, and I can customize it for the season or the occasion. This is the high summer version. The little tomatoes burst open when you bite into it and their sweet juice, along with the rosemary, the Parmesan, and the salty bread is a real treat.
The soft sticky dough needs only 40 minutes to rise, and then you pat it out into a rough rectangle on a baking sheet. You dip your fingers in olive oil and poke it all over so there are luscious little pools of oil that flavor the bread. Then on go the tomatoes, some fresh rosemary, sea salt, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. There's no second rise, it goes right into a hot oven.
This is a great project for a beginning cook — the recipe is simple and straightforward but the result has got a real wow factor, and it feeds a crowd. You can top it with thinly sliced lemons, olives, sliced artichokes…the possibilities are endless.
- 2 cups warm water (110F)
- 2 tsp yeast (1 packet)
- 2 tsp table salt
- 4 cups bread flour
- olive oil
- fresh rosemary leaves (approximately 2 or 3 Tablespoons)
- 1 pint of tiny heirloom tomatoes (or any small tomato)
- grated Parmesan cheese for sprinkling
- Kosher or sea salt for sprinkling over the top
- set the oven to 425F
- Put the yeast in a large mixing bowl and pour in the warm water.
- Add the salt and 2 cups of the flour, mix into a soft and sticky dough.
- Add the remaining 2 cups of flour and mix well. (The dough will still be sticky)
- Cover and let rise for 40 minutes in a warm place.
- Press out the dough on a well oiled, or silpat lined baking sheet. Using your fingers, ease it into a rectangle, approximately 9×13, give or take.
- Put the olive oil in a small bowl and dip your fingers into the oil, and then all over the bread, poking the bread surface and leaving little pools of oil. Do this all over the bread. Don't skimp; this will result in great flavor after the bread is baked.
- Arrange the tomatoes across the top, pressing them into the dough slightly, then scatter the rosemary leaves evenly across the surface. Sprinkle sea salt over all, and finally top with a dusting of Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until lightly golden.
- The rosemary will crisp up in the oven, so you may want to scatter some fresh leaves on top of the bread after baking to refresh the rosemary flavor and give it visual appeal.
Unless you are experienced with yeast, use an instant read thermometer (which every kitchen should have) to check the temperature of the water, it is essential to have it at the correct temperature or the yeast will not rise. You will need truly tiny tomatoes for this recipe. Even smaller than standard cherry tomatoes. If all you can find are cherry tomatoes, halve them before putting them on the dough.

Weighing in with more than 60 dates between October and June 2017 – including one in Sheffield – The Sensational 60s Experience is just about the biggest show dedicated to the music of that decade.
And this time it is even more special – as it is one of the last chances to catch The Ivy League before the band retires,
The sole solo artist this time around is Chris Farlowe, whose rendition of Handbags and Gladrags is always a showstopper.
Hermans Hermits, stalwarts of the tour in past years, will be once again performing their sixties hits with I'm Into Something Good, No Milk Today, Silhouettes and There's A Kind Of Hush still getting the crowd on their feet and singing.
The Swinging Blue Jeans will also be along playing the likes of Hippy Hippy Shake, You're No Good and Good Golly Miss Molly.
The Fortunes, whose hits spread over into the Seventies with You've Got Your Troubles, Here It Comes Again and Storm In A Teacup, are making their debut on the tour; but as guitarist and singer Mike Smitham says, they nearly did the very first tour almost a decade ago.
"We were going to do the first one, but another tour came up and we did that instead," he says."
Mike has been with The Fortunes for over 30 years and is really looking forward to the tour.
"I am really up for it," he says. "We still love touring, especially when we're up on stage.
"The worst part of it is the travelling as I do all the driving." he laughts.
"Seriously though, I've been a professional for 45 years and it's the best time ever."
Mike loves the music and is in no doubt why it is still popular.
"The music evokes a special time in peoples' lives – a candle that burned brightly and everything that has happened since has been a pastiche," he says.
"I still get a shiver when I hear the music."
However, as there are so many acts on the tour, time is limited.
Mike says: "We're only doing about 25 minutes or so and obviously people want to hear the hits. We're all well-oiled musicians and all good friends so it'll be a blast."
The lack of time is something which will affect The Ivy League, but singer/bassist Jon Brennan puts a positive slant on it.
"It's very limiting, but it's good for the fans as they see more artists."
"It makes for a quick show though and we like to please everybody, so we'll still get in the hits.
"We absolutely enjoy these tours, because the audience have paid money to see you, they are already on your side as you take the stage and that's enjoyable."
The enjoyment of the tour will be tinged with sadness as after the tour ends, The Ivy League are calling it a day.
"That's right," Jon says with a hint of regret in his voice.
"The actual truth is that our drummer, Dave Buckley, wanted to retire.
"We have been together 48 years now.
"We decided that if either of us wanted to retire we'd give each other a years' notice.
"We're retiring reluctantly and it's never the right time, but we wanted to finish with something nice rather than waiting for the phone not to ring."
Jon, who is also joined in the band by singer/guitarist Michael Brice, says: "We do have two more gigs after the tour ends next June and then that'll be it, a complete stop with no one-off shows.
"If it has been a few years ago, we might have suggested getting someone in, but none of us are getting any younger and what better way to bow out than with such a great show."
n The Sensational 60s Experience: The Tour That Never Ends is at Sheffield City Hall on Friday, December 2.

February 24, 2014
Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds have announced that Greene County has earned the designation as the first Home Base Iowa community.
Branstad and Reynolds plan to be in Jefferson at the AAI Showroom from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Thursday, March 13, for a ceremony introducing the program to the county.
Greene County officials, led by Home State Bank President Sid Jones and Greene County Development Corporation Executive Director Ken Paxton, have worked closely with the governor's office on the initiative to recruit returning military veterans to Iowa.
"Since we launched the bipartisan Home Base Iowa veterans jobs plan, Greene County has made it clear that the community stands ready to welcome service members and match them with good, high-paying jobs," Branstad said. "I commend the entire Greene County community for their work and look forward to being there in March to celebrate the achievement."
Paxton and Greene County business leaders are organizing veterans and workforce delegations to greet Branstad and Reynolds and other state officials associated with Home Base Iowa.
"When Governor Branstad and I launched the Home Base Iowa initiative to attract service members with their unique skillsets to Iowa, Greene County was there standing ready to adopt measures to become a Home Base Iowa Community," Reynolds said. "I look forward to joining Greene County leaders, business and citizens to announce the exciting designation."
The governor rolled out the overarching plan last fall at Camp Dodge in an event attended by Greene County leaders. In a follow-up news conference at the State Capitol, where has was joined by Paxton, Branstad described how cities and counties and businesses can earn designations as veteran friendly through jobs and housing programs, as well as other efforts.
A White House report says each year the military separates between 240,000 and 360,000 service members - and that the services are "expected to separate a million service members over the next several years."
Branstad said Iowans have a responsibility to those veterans - professionals who also have the training to make enormous contributions in the state.
"We want veterans to know that Iowans can provide them with not just a job, but a career in a caring welcoming community," Branstad said.
Branstad will detail resources and programs involved with Home Base Iowa during the Greene County event.
In Greene County, a countywide Veterans Jobs and Career Task Force led by a number of businesspeople and former military veterans has been meeting for about four months to leverage elements of the developing state plan. The goal: recruit veterans and their families for more than 1,000 jobs Greene County officials expect will be available in the next three to five years. -www.carrolspaper.com

ATLANTA, APRIL 19, 2017 - Atlanta-based MemberSuite, the leading provider of cloud-based management solutions for associations and nonprofits, now is providing its association management solution to the Technology Association of Georgia – one of the fastest growing associations in the country, with 35,000 members.
Before selecting MemberSuite, TAG used a customer relationship management (CRM) system that didn't integrate with the association's other software systems. This lack of integration made it difficult for TAG to determine which programs and events were most successful in increasing member engagement.
"As our membership numbers were growing substantially, analytics and visibility into satisfaction and engagement levels became even more critical," said TAG President/CEO Larry Williams. "As an association focused on technology, we had to be an example of using technology to help us deliver a better and more modern member experience and MemberSuite provided us that platform."
More than 60 percent of MemberSuite's client base is trade associations, which like corporations, often have multiple business units and use disparate systems that don't easily integrate with each other. MemberSuite helps associations modernize everyday association processes from event registration to training, making it easier to deliver value and better user experiences to members.
"MemberSuite understands that associations are looking to operate as efficiently as large corporations and often have limited staff and resources to learn and use ineffective technology," said Andrew Ryan, founder and CEO of MemberSuite. "TAG is a perfect example of today's growing association, one that requires centralized technology to meet its growing membership numbers and boost engagement."
In addition to its growing individual membership, TAG represents more than 2,000 technology and technology-enabled companies. The association fosters an innovative and connected marketplace that stimulates and enhances the state's tech-based economy – home to companies like Atlanta-based MemberSuite.
Ryan founded MemberSuite in 2010 to deliver technology to support various association and nonprofit organization activities, including member management, billing, event management, certification and higher education management, and fundraising.
Since launch, MemberSuite has raised $19.6 million and is on the path to doubling its revenue from last year.
About MemberSuite
MemberSuite is the premier software and services provider of association management software (AMS) solutions for associations and nonprofit organizations of all sizes. MemberSuite harnesses the power of the cloud to deliver enterprise systems that enables modern organizations to accomplish every activity they need to serve their constituents. With dozens of modules, a fully-customizable platform and a dedicated professional services team, MemberSuite is changing the way modern associations do business.

UGH... Flu
By Unknown on 3:47 PM
Filed Under: glare
I do feel a bit better today, and I'm going to attempt to keep some soup down. If I can manage THAT, I'll be back to business as usual later this evening.
Oh - one more thing: I noticed that when I am not feeling well physically, my mood seems to go to baseline. I'm not manic, depressed or mixed... I'd actually feel good if I felt good... Ha Ha
I wonder if there's any research having to do with this subject. If anyone has information about this, I'd be very interested in hearing it - please let me know - I'm real interested in finding out if there's any relationship between feeling sick physically, but well mentally.
See you all later!
And speaking of spontaneous regurgitation...
By Unknown on 12:28 AM
Filed Under: crazier than me, fun, glare, humor, say whaaaaaattttt???, stigma, symptoms
Why, why why why... Oh Jesus Christ - why? WHY am I (and everyone else with bipolar) looked at with contempt and charged with intent when I show symptoms? If I say that I'm depressed, people roll their eyes and say "Great. Her bipolar's back. Just great. Pfft!" then edge away from me as if they think I'm about to feed on them.
I wonder...If I had cancer, would they get angry at me and say "Great, the tumor's back" ...?
Where are they going in such a rush?
By Unknown on 3:04 AM
I must tell you, I am going completely out of my mind while I'm waiting for this disability claim to be approved... I KNOW 12 pages of documentation isn't that difficult to get through - so why has it been almost a year already??
I thought bipolar disorder was a pretty cut and dry disability to have - "Hi, I'm Kim. I have bipolar disorder. Bad. I have had 43 jobs in 15 years. Obviously, I am an incompetent employee. It is due to the fact that I am nuts - can I have my check now?"
Easy, right? That's what I though too, but I guess the federal government has a different idea of what "simple" is, because they are certainly taking their sweet time. So I'm bored stiff, and broke so I pretty much have resorted to living vicariously through other people. I watch them like hawk to try and figure out what the hell they're so happy about.
A good place to do that is the mall - there are people EVERYWHERE!!!
I am, by nature, a fast walker...(quick like a bunny!); the reason why is pretty obvious. But today, I noticed that there are people out there in this fabulously crazy world who move like they've been drinking jet fuel for a completely different reason...
There were a lot of important people walking around the mall!! Walking briskly. That's the way to walk when you're wearing a suit or heels for the benefit of convincing others that you are "someone to know"... Strolling while wearing a suit makes you look like the President. He doesn't have to be brisk; everyone knows he's important. (The US president, that is. The mall president has to walk that way because he's too short to otherwise keep up with people.)
I've also noticed that putting your hands in your pants pockets while wearing a buttoned suit jacket makes you look like a lazy and/or pompus jackass, and makes me think of the word "congressman."
Don't wear a suit unless you're going to be doing something important.
If you zip zip zip down a corrider and look at your watch 3 or 4 times before you get to the end, you must be SUPER DUPER important.
It really is nice to have all these busy, important people rush by while I sit on a bench and just wonder about them... "people watching" is what my mother used to call it.
Makes me feel like a dirty hippy. I wish I had a guitar to play for them.... They probably would have thrown money at me.

Marriage Isn't For You: It's for the One You Love
What is the best wedding advice you ever received? For author Seth Adam Smith, it was the advice from his father who said, Marriage is not for you. It is about the person you marry. These few words completely changed the way Seth looked at his relationship with his wife-to-be. Because at that moment he realized that an expression of love is not about the person expressing it. Rather, it is about the person they choose to be with. It is about making the person you marry feel loved. Seth's blog post on the subject was viewed by more than twenty-seven million people, and he has been featured on several national TV programs including The Today Show. Now released as a hardcover book, these sage words make the perfect gift for newly married couples, those who have been around the block a few times, or anyone who wants to learn how to make their relationships stronger.
My Thoughts:
This book has a lot going for it. First, it's adorable. The cover is beautiful, the pictures inside are romantic and sweet and the advice is wise. It's perfect as a gift on it's own or as a great addition to that toaster or stack of towels you're giving at your next wedding. It's the perfect size to tie to the top of a package with a ribbon.
In this world of selfishness and instant gratification, this book is a breath of fresh air.a Rafflecopter giveaway

Offensive Carcass
I was just reading a local blog that was discussing a petition for Anti-smoking legislation for any public space, what it really targets is places like food establishments and bars.
Having just returned from a trip that required air travel, to a city that already has and indoor smoking ban through out, I have to say a few things.
Firstly, I have no problem with stepping outside to smoke. I get that people don't like a lot of things that their fellow humans do, and don't want to be subjected to what they don't like. I'm not at all going to try to force someone to smoke with me, against their will. I try to be respectful, I don't stand right in front of the exit where they have to walk through a cloud of smoke. I don't blow it at people as they walk by. I don't even throw my butts at people who give me dirty looks and just generally look annoying.
Talk about anti-smoking anything always raises a few questions - such as - car exhaust, pollution, obesity. All these other things that cause more health problems than second-hand smoke. I've heard just about everything.
One thing I haven't heard, but think ALL THE TIME, is about the offensiveness of the carcass eaters food choices. I hate going to into a restaurant and being immediately attacked by the odor of carcass being baked, fried, sliced, diced, sauteed, boiled and chewed. Should I start trying to get laws passed about the unfairness of this? Why should I be subjected to having my pores being saturated with carcass greases and reminded of what all the carcass eaters will being carrying around in their colons for the next week?
The very idea that I would try to do such a thing would be very unpopular with most people - as most people in this country (and elsewhere) are partakers of animal flesh. I know that it wouldn't get very far and I'd be considered insane and silly.
And so, I just don't frequent places that are overtly focused on carcass-chomping. It's that simple. I don't have to attend Renaissance Festivals where people walk around chewing on turkey limbs, and I don't have to eat a wilted salad at a sizzling-cow buffet. Get over it, you always have the choice to just stay at home, at least then you wouldn't be polluting the air with your car exhaust.

Felt ban
For those who travel . .
Just saw that the NP Service has banned felt soles this year in Yellowstone.
Thanks, good to know
Everyone should be buying stock in Korkers!!!! With them being the only wading boot company with interchangeable soles they have quite the corner on the market.
Well, it was bound to happen. The NPS has to err on the conservative side to protect what we have. I've not kept up with the goings on. This will cost me money since I only own felt.
What about all of the other gear that we walk into the water with that gets wet? Flet soles aren't the only thing that carries rock snot to another stream. Waders, socks, fly line, flies....a hat dropped into the water...
I'm not saying don't ban felt soles but that's a feel-good solution not a solution that will work effectively. That's why many areas opened up streams to felt again. The ban just wasn't effective. Not to mention the animals that walk around....like your dog.
So, the Logik is to do nothing because it doesn't totally control the problem?
Many of us favor Sensible Felt Control....
....but now I have to buy some new wading shoes, dagnabbit. I used to have a pair of Simms Aquastealth lightwt wading shoes and liked them.
Be greatfull that you have the opportunity to fish the park since the NPS doesn't want visitors to get more than 100 feet from a paved road or trail since we are harassing and disturbing THEIR fish and wildlife. Been fishing the park for over 50 years and can see the changes in their management attitude.
I am sure you have seen changes in 50 years, but they certainly aren't trying to keep you from fishing. There have been too many accidents in the Park by people making poor decisions regarding approaching wildlife. As Park attendance continues to increase from year to year, the chances of a poor decision increases with those additional people. The point of the wildlife distance rules is to protect visitors AND the wildlife. 50 years ago, there were 2 million visitors in the Park. Last year, there were over 4 million. That's a huge increase.
I do think that some of the rangers get a bit overzealous. But people make some VERY questionable decision in Yellowstone.
Not sure how you equate "wildlife distance rules" with my comment about staying close to roads or trails. There are people in the NPS who are opposed to fishing and their have been discussions regarding limiting foreign visitors due to the huge increase.
I worked for NPS fisheries in Yellowstone for a couple years. There is no opposition to fishing. I am not sure where you got that information, but there isn't one fish biologist in Yellowstone that is opposed to angling. They are actually all anglers themselves. Whether there is talk way above them regarding that, I don't know.

text: It looks like the roof cover is going to be built into the cross-bar that separates the front glass piece that opens and the rear glass piece. So there will be two covers. One that pulls forward from the cross-bar and one that pulls back from the cross-bar. We still don't know what the mechanism will be for keeping the cover attached to the roof when it's pulled out. Will there be a track of some kind? will it be stiff enough that it won't need a track? Unknown.

Depressed Daughter Doesn't Listen to Mom
Yet, she does nothing, week after week. She'll have a breakdown and tell me these things, and then carry on going to work, etc. until the next time. I don't know how to help her.
She has even told me about just leaving the area, alone, going somewhere and starting over. I know that is not the answer, it's just running away and I fear that in the future she will regret leaving her children. I think she is just overwhelmed.
Is there anything I could do or should be saying to help her?
David Johnson Says...
I can feel your worry. But it really sounds like you have already done most everything you can. You may want to try asking about how her mood is affecting her children. They are old enough to understand a lot about what is going on. It's very likely mom's depression is affecting how they feel, how they behave at home and I school. If your daughter won't do anything for herself, she may act to protect her daughters. Encourage her to talk to her daughters. Remind her that her daughters are likely blaming themselves for her mood, even their dad leaving. Have her encourage her daughters to share their feelings so that she can reassure them. She should never talk badly about their father to avoid putting them in the middle. Remind her that her daughters will also try to take care of her depression, something they must not do. That would compromise their ability to grow up themselves.
If she won't do even that, then ask to spend some time with her daughters. Talk to them about their mom, reassure them it is not about them, but about their mom and dad. Ask them to share their feelings. Then tell your daughter what they say.
Yes, that is a bit heavy handed, but someone has to act on behalf of the children even if their mom won't. I hope this all works out for your family.
