One of the most famous scuba diving destinations in Asia not just Thailand, Koh Tao, which translates from Thai to English as 'Turtle Island', is home to two species of indigenous turtles, the Green Turtle and The Hawksbill Turtle. Although the name Turtle Island actually comes from the shape of the island viewed from the approach from the neighbouring island of Koh Phangan, which the original settlers did.
There is a great chance to see a turtle whilst enjoying a scuba diving during your open water course as there are several resident turtles. There is also a breeding and conservation program run by several local dive schools with a chance to see the feeding of juvenile turtles before their release into the wild!
When seen in their natural habitat turtles are usually calm and will allow a respectful scuba diver to come quite close and can then be observed eating algae, swimming along the reefs and, if you are lucky, heading to the surface to take a breath before descending for a further meal! Each turtle has a distinct pattern of scales along its face much like the fingerprint on a human.
If you are lucky enough to get a photo or video of the left side of the turtle's face you can submit the image for identification to the Facebook page Koh Tao Turtles and find the name of your turtle! If it is as yet unidentified you can choose the name yourself! Without a photo or video evidence it is still possible for you to identify the species of turtle that you have seen. The Hawksbill turtle has a distinctive beak-shaped face with 2 pairs of prefrontal scutes (the scales on the front of the face inbetween their eyes). The carapace (or shell) is also distinctive with an elliptical shape with the scutes (or scales) overlapping and a jagged edge, although this can be worn smooth in older individuals. The Green turtle has a rounded face with only one pair of prefrontal scutes. The carapace is rounded or oval with scutes that abut (do not overlap) and a smooth edge.
Do you want to see a turtle? Then book your dives with us, either a 1 day try scuba diving or the open water course to get your diving licence. You will have the biggest smile on your face afterwards.

Nearly one year ago, the nation watched as Ferguson, Missouri, burned. Stores were looted, cars were set on fire and crowds of mourning residents poured out onto the streets. An unarmed black man, Michael Brown, had been shot by a white police officer, and the city was unraveling.
These days, Ferguson looks a lot different, and in preparation for the upcoming anniversary of Brown's death, clergy leaders said they were coming together for a week of workshops and conferences to encourage thoughtful discussions on the many social problems that led up to the fatal shooting. Brown's death sparked a national debate about racial inequalities and police brutality, and Ferguson has been slowly recovering ever since. The event scheduled this week, called We Are All Ferguson, featured community business leaders, schools, nonprofits and clergy members leading a series of panels and discussions that sought to encourage, educate and inspire residents on how to heal their wounded community.
The event was created through a partnership between two Ferguson clergy leaders: Pastor Willis Johnson of Wellspring Church and the Rev. Steve Lawler of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. Lawler said that for years, there had been talks about holding such an event, but Brown's tragic death had accelerated the need for the We Are All Ferguson discussions.
"Michael Brown is an example of what challenges a lot of young people, black men in our community face," said Lawler, who is white. "He was going to do additional college at a technical school but he wasn't having a lot of success in finding a part-time job and he's not alone. … [The event is about] how can you do things to give the 'Michael Browns' of our community more opportunities."
Each day the event had a different focus, with topics ranging from business to faith to social justice. The event kicked off Sunday with the unveiling of the Center for Social Empowerment Justice, an educational annex of Wellspring Church that will act as a hub for community solutions and study of urban context issues. Monday featured a back-to-school supply drive and distribution, and roughly 250 backpacks stocked with school supplies went quickly. Children also were given free haircuts and health screenings. A panel called "Incubate Ferguson: What's Next in Business" occurred Tuesday, and was aimed at people who were interested in discovering resources for launching, growing or relocating businesses in Ferguson. Wednesday and Thursday covered discussions for faith leaders about how to handle situations of crisis and injustice.

On Friday and Saturday, black scholars were slated to discuss the significance of activism in black communities, and Lawler expected the turnout for those discussions to be the largest. Among other speakers, J. Kameron Carter, an associate professor of systematic theology and black church studies, was scheduled to discuss connections between Ferguson and Charleston, South Carolina, where a gunman recently targeted a historically black church and murdered nine African-Americans. For Carter, conferences like We Are All Ferguson serve as a space for the community to eulogize and continue talking about racial issues.
"This nation, and by that I mean the formal structures of government, doesn't know how to mourn," said Carter, who is black. "We don't know how to eulogize. It's placed once again on the backs of the very communities whose many participants are being killed to turn around and lead a nation in mourning and eulogizing, and that's what these conferences mean to me."
Ferguson grappled with racial injustice long before Brown's death. Despite the fact that two-thirds of Ferguson's residents are black, most of the city's elected officials are white, the New York Times reported last year. In 2014, only three of the city's 53 police officers were black, and many residents said racial tensions had fueled an overzealous police force that targeted blacks for minor crimes that resulted in high fines or jail time. A St. Louis County grand jury decided in November 2014 not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in Brown's Aug. 9, 2014, death.
As the community has taken steps to recover from Brown's shooting and the subsequent protests and riots, We Are All Ferguson was an opportunity to reflect and move forward, Lawler said.
"The tough moments are having those hard conversations with other white people, without it turning into a confrontation," Lawler said. "I shouldn't be surprised when these things happen. Even before Brown was killed, there were a lot of challenges in racial relationships."
Day 5 of #WeAreAllFerguson completed. Continued conversations with pastors and lay leaders exploring Ministry on the Edge. Inspired!!!
— An Unlikely Priest (@fr_steve) August 7, 2015
Lawler said the churches plan to hold events like We Are All Ferguson again in the future, after community leaders saw the need for resources and a place to talk about issues.
"From Freddie Gray's death [in Baltimore] to Michael Brown's killing, there's been a parade of black death," Carter said. "And as long as that parade keeps happening, we need to keep talking."

Cardinals QB Carson Palmer told reporters on Wednesday that he is planning to be back in the lineup for Arizona's Week 5 match up against the Denver Broncos.
"It felt great," Palmer said, via AzCardinals.com. "It's a slow process. Every day I'm going to throw a little more, a little more. The plan is to be firing on all cylinders at least by Wednesday of next week.
"If I can't (play) Drew is more than ready, he's proved that. But (Denver) is part of the timetable and I expect to get ready."
Palmer has been able to do more and more in practice and appears to be making decent progress in his recovery from a nerve issue in his throwing shoulder.
Backup QB Drew Stanton has been solid in relief of Palmer as he has led them to a road win over the Giants and a home victory against the 49ers in Week 3.
On the season, Stanton has completed 51.6 percent of his passes for 411 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
We'll have more updates regarding Palmer as the news is available.

Which type of termite control is the most efficient in term of price in my case?
All the wood flooring and pillar had termite colony in my case...
The most cost-effective methods of termite control, in descending order:
Millions of dollars are unnecessarily spent here
If you can locate a good termite professional which has good construction knowledge, the source of the termite activity can be located and treated. Be for I was in pest control (23 years) I poured concrete slabs for 5 years. So I saw the situations where wood would be left in the concrete slabs. What a valuable tool construction turned out to be for me now.
Have you seen a swarm castle or swarmers exiting from a particular area? Several photos of the damaged areas would be helpful. Pier and beam, floating slab, or monolithic slab? Is the slab all one level with no step ups? Is there any plumbing within 5 feet of the damaged area? Is it exterior wall? Can you see your foundation all along the outside?
These are all critical questions and can cost or save you thousands of dollars. A lot of termite companies will use the lack of knowledge to extract dollars from you. A good spot treatment may only run you $300-$500.
Most structures can be spot treated if a good termiticide is used. Unfortunately, even some of the local and national companies use the cheaper termiticides which the treatments are only about 70% effective. Use cheap tools and you get cheap results.
In the last 15 years I have only had to fully treat 2 homes due only to the fact that the termites were entering them from all sides. Out of the hundreds of spot treatments I have done in the last 15 years, I have yet to have a re-treatment using the good termiticides. The problem is that most companies won't warranty their work if you don't treat the whole structure. But I do warranty my spot treatments and so do some other companies.
Good luck

Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is a debilitating disease that affects more than two million people worldwide. It is believed that the disease is an autoimmune disorder where the body attacks the healthy tissues in the central nervous system. It can lead to pain, fatigue, and even memory loss. However, new studies are showing that aerobic exercise may benefit patients with MS.
50% of people dealing with the effects of multiple sclerosis have some level of memory loss. As of now, no drugs or behavioral therapies have worked to correct this symptom. However, in the study performed by researchers at the Kessler foundation, individuals with MS were asked to perform aerobic and non-aerobic exercises and their brain function was then tested. The exercises were divided into bicycling and stretching to see the difference between the two in relation to the disease. Using both MRI and memory assessments, the patients were tested after exercising. Those who were asked to ride a bicycle performed better than those who stretched. No benefits were recorded in patients who performed non-aerobic exercises.
The benefits of aerobic exercise for patients with multiple scleroris include a reduction of the memory loss that is seen in 50% of patients.
Additionally, aerobic exercise has a number of other benefits for the health of individuals with MS. Here are a few of the most recommended exercises to add to your routine alongside cardio.
- Yoga: Focusing on poses and breathing is a great way to get exercise and relax both the mind and body. Yoga is very deliberate in practice and individuals can take their time getting to know the poses and breathing techniques. Yoga classes are available in most communities at many price points.
- Tai Chi: Like yoga, tai chi is very adaptable. It is also a form of moving meditation. Tai chi was developed as part of the Buddhist practice and focuses on fluid movements from one pose to the next. Community centers and martial arts studios in your area are likely to offer classes.
- Water aerobics: Exercising in water is ideal for many conditions including multiple sclerosis. Because of your buoyancy, water aerobics are extremely low impact and put little strain on muscles. Community centers and pools normally have classes available. Swimming is also a great way to stay cool in the summertime.
What other exercises could be beneficial for individuals with multiple sclerosis?

Hunt's Construction understands when you are dealing with water damage, immediate action is crucial. We will dispatch a service technician to protect the property from further damage. Damaged carpets and laminate flooring will need to be prepared for removal to begin the drying process.
If water has reached the room's edges, then baseboards, drywall or paneling will contain water, thus trapping this moisture. We will need to remove the damaged material, then vent the wall's cavity until dry before treating.
The exterior walls of the property will contain insulation in between the interior and exterior walls. This material acts as a sponge, absorbing high amounts of moisture and will need to be removed and replaced.
After the removal of all standing water and moisture soaked materials, a large industrial dehumidifier, air scrubbers and air movers will be placed to target the moisture that's harder to access. These circulate high amounts of oxygen rich fresh air, accelerating the dry time and reducing the risk of any further loss.
Our team will measure and control air quality while making preparations to treat all freshly vented remnants thus reducing the risk of mold and mildew.
We can now move forward in all repairs and cosmetic replacements bringing your property back to its pre-loss condition per your insurance coverage.
Situations vary from one loss to another. Correct documentation is necessary and will aid in any claims filed with your insurance company if our technician determines filing a claim is appropriate. We will work with your Insurance Adjuster's scope of loss to ensure that you don't unknowingly incur costs outside of your policy coverage.
Fires can be one of the worst property disasters. The water and dry chemical from putting out the fire can be equally destructive as the fire itself. Moving forward can be daunting and insurance claims can easily be overwhelming. Hunt's Construction will help facilitate your fire loss with your insurance company so the most difficult decisions will be in cosmetic replacements.
Fire damage can appear as a complete loss at first appearance. The potential for unforeseen damages that may not be exposed until demolition is highly likely. Hunt's Construction can restore a fire loss that didn't seem possible, while evaluating your individual situation.

California Highway Patrol Officer Mike Blaine was on his way home to Victorville when he saw a Ford Explorer driving erratically along Interstate 15 near Oak Hills Road.
When Blaine pulled the Explorer over on Jan. 22, he soon learned the driver was transporting $400,000 in cocaine in a hidden compartment in the vehicle.
For many, I-15 is the road to fun and excess, with Las Vegas as the destination. Others know and use it as one of the largest drug corridors in the nation, pumping millions of dollars worth of narcotics into the rest of the country every year.
On the front lines fighting the drug influx from south of the border is the CHP's K-9 Drug Interdiction Unit.
"We cover the drug corridors of (interstates) 15, 5 and 40," said Blaine, a 13-year member of the unit. "These are possibly the top corridors in the country."
Because of this, the CHP Inland Division K-9 unit is one of the busiest in the state, he said.
Mexican drug cartels smuggle narcotics into the United States and to major drug-distribution hubs, which include the Los Angeles/Inland Empire area, San Diego and El Paso, Texas.
They then use the corridors to distribute the drugs throughout the country, according to the National Drug Intelligence Center.
With the aid of drug-detecting dogs, the CHP Inland Division's K-9 unit has been able to stop billions of dollars worth of drugs from reaching the rest of the country since the program's inception in the early 1990s.
"The canine program in place with the CHP is an invaluable tool, assisting all of law enforcement in the performance of our daily duties," Officer William Osegueda, spokesman for the Victorville CHP station, said. "Also, the use of canines in drug detection helps CHP officers find and remove drugs which would otherwise end up on our streets, and possibly with children."
There are three dog teams that monitor the area of San Bernardino County basically from Barstow to Riverside.
At its highest, there were 16 dog teams covering the same corridor.
Despite the drop in team numbers, the unit still makes an impact.
One of the unit's largest busts came last year when the team found approximately $50 million worth of cocaine in the Los Angeles County area, Blaine said.
Blaine and Rex, a Belgian Malinois, went through an intense 12-week training program in which the dog is cross-trained to sniff out drugs but also provide standard K-9 support.
"We're able to utilize their dogs to assist us in search warrants or vehicle stops," Detective Tim Visosky of the High Desert Regional Gang team said.
"Sometimes when we serve a search warrant and we know they have narcotics, the (criminals) will hide the narcotics in hidden compartments.
With the dogs we can find them easier."
Visosky has experience in narcotics enforcement with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
Through his 13 years with the unit, Blaine has learned to recognize the earmarks of drug-transporting vehicles and some favorite hiding spots.
Blaine has seen compartments in the quarter panels � a common hiding spot � in wheel wells and even inside false batteries.
For that reason, Blaine's team and the K-9 unit are highly sought by other agencies throughout the country.
"We've gone all across the country helping other agencies with various drug and gang cases," Blaine said. "Here, too. If anyone needs us, we're there with our dogs."

Your Excellency President Ashraf Ghani,
Honorable Members of the Parliament,
Honorable Chief Justice, Attorney General, members of the judiciary,
Honorable Ministers,
Dear Colleagues of the diplomatic corps,
Representatives of the academia, civil society, business community and media,
Ladies and gentlemen,
A very good morning to all of you,
I feel privileged to be with you today at the Presidential Palace on the occasion of the 5th EU annual conference on anti-corruption.
Allow me to convey my first words of gratitude to HE President Ashraf Ghani who has kindly accepted to host this conference this year again and deliver opening remarks.
A vote of gratitude goes to UN SRSG HE Ambassador Tadamichi Yamamoto who has kindly accepted to offer the closing remarks of the conference.
I would like to also thank our three keynote speakers,
And of course I wish to thank all of you for making time this morning not only to listen to the deliberations but also to take an active part in what will certainly be a vibrant discussion.
The theme chosen this year is "A journey to peace, a moment of accountability". It echoes last year's title "Corruption in recess, Peace in progress", thus underlining the sense that while the drivers of the Afghan conflict are multiple, fighting corruption is pivotal in ending the war and ensuring a sustainable peace in Afghanistan.
Today we would like to focus our attention on the role anti-corruption should play before, during and after the conclusion of a peace agreement.
This role, our three keynote speakers will address it each along a different angle but towards the same underlining conclusion: there can be no sustainable peace in Afghanistan without a resolute and aggressive anti-corruption policy.
The most recent developments reinforce the necessity and urgency of this debate.
It is clear to everyone that the Afghan scene is overwhelmingly dominated by the pursuit of peace, and rightly so. The US-Taliban negotiations in Doha, now coupled with the starting of an intra-Afghan dialogue, have created expectations that genuine negotiations, the real peace negotiations I would say, could finally start between the Government of Afghanistan and the Taliban.
We at the EU support this collective mobilization and hope it will soon produce concrete results, primarily in terms of reduction of violence.
But regrettably this urgent and legitimate call for peace has also opened the way to some less helpful debates which have in common to put peace in competition with other top priorities. The most notorious of these debates has introduced a false sense of exclusion between peace and elections, suggesting that peace should come first and elections, notably the presidential election, later.
The Head of the EU Diplomacy, Ms Mogherini, with the full endorsement of the 28 ministers of foreign affairs of our Member States, has clearly expressed our doctrine on that count: peace and elections should be pursued in parallel, each driven by its own dynamic and specific timeline. Or else Afghanistan would run the risk of having no peace and no elections.
Several domains other than elections could be subject to the logic that in the name of peace, a pause, a break, an interruption of some sorts is needed. Other key national agendas could be similarly fall victim of this syndrome, considering that achieving results in those fields now becomes lesser of a priority. And anti-corruption is one of them.
In that context, our speakers will certainly suggest that when searching for peace, combating corruption is not lesser of a priority, but just the opposite: promoting a sustainable peace in Afghanistan should call for intensifying anti-corruption efforts.
At this juncture it is therefore important to have in mind how much corruption is a conflict enabler while anti-corruption is definitely an accelerator towards a sustainable peace.
On that note allow me before I conclude my remarks a couple of quick observations.
The first one is that corruption is a prime war enabler.
This reality is acknowledged worldwide but it takes an all too familiar shape in Afghanistan, starting with the illegal economy, mainly incarnated by illegal mining and drug production and trafficking, which provides massive financial resources to the insurgents. Illegal economy would never reach such heights without networks of corrupt officials being involved.
Possibly less discussed but equally critical is how corruption leads scores of disenfranchised citizens to support the insurgency.
If you consider the Taliban in sociological terms, I would say that they arguably fall into two categories: Taliban by design and Taliban by incident. The former have joined the movement by ideology while the latter were not meant to become insurgents but did it out of economic deprivation aggravated by a sense of injustice. An aggressive anti-corruption engagement would deprive the Taliban by design from one of their favorite narrative while giving the Taliban by incident, who are by far more numerous, a second chance to join the mainstream Afghan society.
My second observation is that peace cannot be built on corruption. Fighting corruption stands high among the key drivers towards a sustainable peace. Hence the title of our conference: a journey to peace is also a moment of accountability.
Our keynote speakers will certainly develop the argument in quite convincing terms. I just wish to point out two striking realities:
There is no sustainable peace without trust, and combating corruption is definitely a way to build trust and confidence not just among the elite but throughout the Afghan society and beyond, including with the international community by strengthening the mutual accountability regime.
There is no sustainable peace without a peace economy, and there again an effective and result-oriented anti-corruption démarche is pivotal in bringing investors who will create jobs, jobs which will divert many from the temptation to embrace violence and illegal activities.
Forty years of war in Afghanistan have undoubtedly impacted the fundamentals of the Afghan culture, of the Afghan moral, and created an appetite for quick gains which doesn't reflect the Afghan traditional values and principles. The way towards Peace offers an historical chance to rebuild the social contract between all Afghans. But this necessary and ambitious objective cannot be achieved overnight. Reaching, on the basis of trust and confidence, a solid and inclusive peace agreement that will augur well of a sustainable peace will take time. Real Peace cannot be bought. All Afghans and partners of Afghanistan can count on the European Union to undertake this journey on their side.
I thank you for your attention.

Please check out my previous Storytelling posts here. And my 365 Reviews here.
Part of the stories that I get to experience comes right from my students. I get offered suggestions for films, comics, and television shows all the time. And I try to do a decent job of watching or reading those suggestions. I dig that my students feel comfortable sharing with me, so I want to imbibe the media and have a conversation about it.
This week, with the exception of Wednesday (NCBD) and Sunday (Sunday's For Teachers), I will be reviewing comics that this semester's students have given me to read. Today's tale is a good one. It's an interesting story of space exploration and self discovery in the package of a YA graphic novel series entitled Space Boy.
Title: Space Boy Vol. 1

Amy is a teenage girl that has lived the majority of her life floating through space on a city-sized ship, heading to explore the unknown. Her dad gets fired from his job, and Amy's family finds themselves cryogenically frozen for a thirty-year trip back to Earth to start anew.
While this is the basic shape that our plot points slide into, the story sets itself up to be anything but simple. Amy must not only deal with the fact that she and her family have missed thirty years of existence, but we are tossed a murdered scientist, an opening that alludes to nothing working out for our protagonist, and an intriguingly mysterious boy with no distinguishable personality that pops up in unexpected places.
McCranie has set himself up for some plot/character development for many volumes to come. It's actually one of my only criticisms of the book: I want more. There are so many questions that are left unanswered in volume one that it could be a bit overwhelming for some readers. Luckily, the frame of Amy's world is strong enough for us to stand on as we take the journey with her. I just worry that I might have to reread this volume before I pick up book two. But that's the way it is with a lot of plot…it's not a bad thing; it's just a thing.
The art style is great, although, very digital in aesthetic. McCranie uses a good amount of blank space and simplistic background to stress the characters and their interactions. This is especially true when we are in space during Act One. Huge panels fill entire pages to allow us the opportunity to take in the immensity of space. Accompany that with the simple digital lines and we have a book that seems to mimic the cold, stylistic future that McCranie lays out for us.
I have to discuss what I feel to be my favorite part of this book…no serious spoilers. After Amy has come back to Earth and has made some friends, she finds herself assimilating to an Earth culture that she only dreamt about as a kid, while watching old 80s films with friends.
After taking a photo with her new Earth friends, she states, "The people in the photo are stylish and beautiful and perfectly in sync with the latest Earth trends. And I am one of them. I am one of them now." And her face is set in what looks to be a saddened state. This image closes the book.
I found it to be profound. McCranie is giving us a character that seemingly gets all that she wants but is potentially left empty. It was a thoughtful ending, and a fantastic place to tease what is to come in book two…which is out right now, by the way (I just looked it up).
So if you dig book one, snatch up book two, and get ready for the book three release this coming March!
Come back tomorrow for another treat as I continue to review books given to me by students.
Happy reading!

About this book
The papers contained herein were presented at the First International Conference on Composite Structures held at Paisley College of Technology, Paisley, Scotland, in September 1981. This conference was organised and sponsored by Paisley College of Technology in association with The Institution of Mechanical Engineers and The National Engineering Laboratory (UK). There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, the use of composite materials has revolutionised traditional design concepts. The ability to tailor-make a material to suit prevailing environmental conditions whilst maintaining adequate reinforcement to withstand applied loading is unquestionably an attractive proposition. Significant weight savings can also be achieved by virtue of the high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight characteristics of, for example, fibrous forms of composite materials. Such savings are clearly of paramount importance in transportation engineering and in particular aircraft and aerospace applications. Along with this considerable structural potential the engineer must accept an increased complexity of analysis. All too often in the past this has dissuaded the designer from considering composite materials as a viable, or indeed better, alternative to traditional engineering materials. Inherent prejudices within the engineering profession have also contributed, in no small way, to a certain wariness in appreciating the merits of composites. However, the potential benefits of composite materials are inescapable. The last two decades have seen a phenomenal increase in the use of composites in virtually every area of engineering, from the high technology v vi Preface aerospace application to the less demanding structural cladding situation.

text: Digital 60% of All German eBook Downloads are Pirated By Nate Hoffelder|August 31, 2011 Share By Nate Hoffelder|August 31, 2011 Share It's estimated that 23 million eBooks were downloaded in the past year in Germany, and over half of these eBooks were pirated.That is the conclusion reached in a report released yesterday by the GVU, a German trade group that investigates copyright infringement. Luckily for us, this estimate of German piracy is very likely not true.It's based on a survey of 10 thousand German consumers. The survey was conducted by GfK, a well-known market research company. There's nothing wrong with the survey, but there are any number of problems with the report that is based on it. First and foremost, the report uses a questionable slight of hand to extrapolate from the 10k respondents to the entire German population (over 81 million). While I've done something similar as a way to get a feel for a market, this survey didn't actually show that 23 million eBooks were downloaded nor does it show that 14 million were pirated. What the survey shows is that a certain percentage of respondents downloaded eBooks. Extrapolating from thousands of respondents to millions of Germans is at best an iffy process and often times the extrapolation won't be valid.But more importantly, that number of 14 million pirated eBooks includes a lot more than just pirated eBooks. It includes downloads from "file-sharing networks, hosting services, private websites, blogs, forums, ftp-servers, or newsgroups". The problem with this is that any number of legitimate websites fall under that label, including MobileRead, FeedBooks, Project Gutenberg, author's and publisher's websites, and more. This entire report is bunk, and it would be foolish tp give it any credence.report via heise.deimage by NeonMan Share http://adweek.it/2kCANM9 copy Adweek Adweek

Merry Hall
Beverley Nichols was an author, playwright, journalist, composer and public speaker. Between his first book, the novel Prelude, published in 1920, and his last, a book of poetry, Twilight, published in 1982, Nichols wrote more than 60 books and plays. Besides novels, mysteries, short stories, essays and children's books, he wrote a number of non-fiction books on travel, politics, religion, cats, parapsychology, and autobiography. It is his later books, a trilogy written between 1951 and 1956 Nichols's documents his travails renovating Merry Hall (Meadowstream), a Georgian manor house and garden in Agates Lane, Ashtead, Surrey, where Nichols lived from 1946 to 1956. It is these books that AMC Pictures have adapted into a one hour television series with writer Larry Barker.
Whilst the backdrop to the stories revolves around Beverley's renovation of his Georgian manor and garden, the real story is in the wealth of extraordinary characters that inhabit his life and the local village in 1950's England. It is a rich vein in terms of comedic characters and Beverley's writing itself lends itself to visual adaptation.
Nichols is as observant as Jane Austen, as witty as Oscar Wilde, and as sentimental as James Herriott. He also happens to be as funny, timely, and un–P.C. as Jon Stewart.
Home and Garden
Nichols … is nearly the Bertie Wooster of gardening, and I say nearly only because some would consider it an insult to be called the Bertie Wooster of anything.
New York Times Book Review
The charm of Merry Hall, Laughter on the Stairs and Sunlight on the Lawn is undeniable, a mixture of the lyrical, the teasing, the understatedly witty and the self-mockingly camp.
Daily Telegraph

Manuel de Falla's El amor brujo (Love, the Magician) was certainly the real deal in this concert, performed in its original chamber ensemble version with a genuine flamenco singer.
Here, it was the remarkable María Toledo, whose characteristically throaty voice-production and dramatically charged articulation provided such a refreshing change from what we usually hear.
And the direction of Josep Pons, a conductor whose tidy beat encourages rather than dictates what goes on in the ranks, enabled a much reduced CBSO to relish the score's transparency and its opportunities for individual display, notably in the Pantomime (lovely cello solo from Richard Jenkinson) and Will-o'-the-Wisp numbers.
Falla's Noches en los Jardines de España (Nights in the Gardens of Spain) was not so rewarding.
Although technically demanding for the piano soloist – and Javier Perianes was glitteringly up to the task – it is not a concerto in form or scale.
With the instrument placed centrally in front of the conductor there were often textural imbalances where solo figurations obscured, rather than decorated, important orchestral material. A concertante position within the orchestra would have been much better.
Framing these signature works was Ravel's wonderful Spanish homage, Rapsodie espagnole, and his infamous Boléro.
The former was certainly the winner for this listener, beautifully structured by Pons and played throughout with gorgeous sensitivity. Inevitably, though, it was Boléro that won the audience vote.

想过把这篇 blog 放出来成为新的一页,想想还是算了,搭在这一页就可以了。
。。。 ~ 。。。~ 。。。
Some conventions of my posts
I think the most headache part of my posts is how to categorise them, luckily wordpress has the feature tag cloud and category cloud, anyway I dun think my way of categorize is perfect, but it may just suit to me for present (Might change in future).
Currently I will emphasize on tag cloud, category cloud is just for me to mark the relevant field if got
- Visual Basic 6.0 will tag as VB6
- Micorsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005, 2008 will tag as MSSQL, categorise as Database
- SQL statement (pl/sql,myqsl,mssql, etc) will tag as SQL
- C#, Visual Basic.Net will tag as C#, VB.Net, categorise as .NetFramework
- Web technologies will tag according to its technology used (i.e. Javascript, php, Asp.Net…), categorise as Web.
Others will update in future when present.

How should I re-initiate contact with my ex girlfriend after the 3-week cut off period?
If you've read any of my articles on here, you'll know that I insist on a guy breaking off all communication with his ex after the break up for a 3 week period. 3 weeks is a key measure of time in the human psychological make up because:
It will be strong enough to cause her to miss being able to chat with you but
Short enough so she doesn't have time to emotionally move on and forget about you
After this 3-week period, you'll re-initiate contact with her. In trying to win her back, it's important that this is a light-hearted meeting and not another discussion about the break up
(NOTE: To discover how to program your ex girlfriends mind into becoming emotionally tied to you and prevent her from looking at other guys, check out my book "THE LOVEMAP CODE: How To Make Someone Fall In Love With You Using Psychology".)
Where should I ask her to meet me?
To keep it in line with being light-hearted, I recommend meeting in a public place for coffee or something innocent like that. Meeting somewhere public will not put pressure on the meeting. However if they insist on making it a more private setting like your place or theirs then by all means take them up on the offer.
If you have the first meeting somewhere for coffee, keep it short and arrange for another meeting with you in a few days time. This will make it easier on her psyche to re-accept you as her potential boyfriend again.
Then, during the second coffee meeting, you can ask if they'd like to go watch a movie at your place or theirs or something like that. You won't be watching much of the movie :-) They'll be secretly delighted you asked, because at this stage the desire to have sex again with you will be at the forefront of their mind.
Sex can win her back?
When a woman has been with a man sexually, a bond is formed in her mind between the both of you. Women form this psychological bond as a result of sex more so then men. You can use this to your advantage in trying to win her back. All the while you should make it look as though the sex happened spontaneously so she doesn't feel tricked.
She will think it was her decision to have sex and that it wasn't part of your strategy. If she thinks it was her decision, her subconscious will believe that she must be in love you again, because you both had sex, and so will induce feelings of love in her once again for you.
Need more help?
Yes, can I still get my ex back even if they've started seeing someone new?
Is getting back with my ex a good idea?
Are there any exceptions to the no-contact rule?
Can you tell me an actual story of someone being successful with the no-contact rule?

Western Weyr - Weyrwoman's Office
Behind stout, ornately carved hardwood double doors decorated with fancy brass handles and a stout bolting lock, the Weyrwoman's office is a sanctum of paperwork, bureaucracy and lots of red tape. It is here that much of the running of the Weyr takes place — where the meetings of the domestic side of the Weyr are held and daily matters are handled between the Senior and her juniors as well as the Headwoman's staff. The walls, painted a cheerful soothing shade of sage green, are adorned with paintings and tapestries of life around the Weyr. To one side, a large desk of skybroom wood holds court, piled with paper, and file folders — the heavily padded chair behind it meant for the comfort of the working weyrwoman, along with chairs for visitors and guests set in front of it. Part of the desk is curving away, this holding a small computer that can be used for word processing and file entry. Along one wall, a row of short bookshelves hold scrolls, books and other means of record keeping; the oldest and most fragile of the relics being kept behind glass casings. Hand-woven carpets cover the floors, buffering the feel of hard stone and giving a softer feeling to the room. A sideboard on the wall opposite the entrance is kept stocked with drinks for refreshment, and a comfortable couch with a side table and an ornate reading lamp can be found in the middle of the room.
It's just another average day in the office — or is it? Enka's hard at work at her desk, or she /would/ have been hard at work if it wasn't for the rather large bowl of sand that occupies the majority of the wooden surface, and she's poking her fingers into the sand, as if testing the temperature, brow furrowed in thought. "Goin' to start movin' any second, I'd think." she mutters to herself, glancing around the office to see if a particular junior just happened to be in. If she wasn't, of course, there'd be a call from Miraneith to her golden daughter, Shadhavarth, one full of soft dreamy tones of bliss and contentment. « We have a surprise for Iris! »
Just another average day… ha! Not when everyone's least favorite junior is always about being her usual incompetent self. No, Iris is, this day, picking up pieces as usual- as every junior has to do to make up the slack. So she's plenty relieved when the summons comes from Miraneith to Shadhavarth and onward to Iris. « Surprises are wonderful! » Shadhavarth's answer is awash with curiousity, and shortly there is a knock on Enka's door and Iris poking her head in, eyebrows raised. "Good surprise or bad surprise?"
Pity the poor leadership having to put up with said least favorite junior, particularly since Orraeloth seems to be looking more like a glow-in-the-dark nightlight by the day and her rider gets more and more flustered and out of sorts. And alas for poor Iris, since every junior has to make up the slack, it's a hard knock life being the /only/ other junior around. But at least she'll get a bit of a break time. « You will like this surprise too. » Miraneith's response to Shadhavarth is dreamy and dulcet sweet, the senior goldrather in a dozing frame of mind. "Oh, good surprise," Enka responds to Iris when the junior pokes her head around the door, beckoning the younger goldrider in. "You'll like it a lot, I'm sure. Shadhavarth probably will too, Mir hasn't ever really seemed to mind." There's a sudden flutter of movement from the bowl,and Enka starts scooping sand away to reveal something half buried in the sand — the rounded curve of a firelizard egg.
Ugh, glowing Orraeloth. More like glowing Orraesloth. The only expectation Iris has for when that wonderful day happens is that following it, there will be Even More Work to do! Oh boy! At least modern Pern has no Threadfall to worry about? Iris comes in the rest of the way, brown eyes focusing on the bowl of sand and at first she's about to ask why on Pern Enka's got a bowl of sand- but the egg is revealed as the junior gets close to the desk. "Oh hey! Eggs! Where did this batch come from?"
Fear, thy name is Orraesloth. One only knows what kind of messed up offspring she'd be able to produce. "Sunshine," Enka explains it all with a deft little flip of her hand in the direction of her weyr. "Went and glowed, got herself caught, by Barq of all things. Shells, I have to tell you, I'm shardin' glad that firelizard's don't project as much as dragons do, because it was uncomfortable enough for me as it was. Felt like I should have gone and chased the nearest man down and jumped his bones or somethin'." Well, that might be a little too much information for Enka to be sharing. "Anyway, the rest of the clutch is back with their dam, but I snuck this one away." The egg in question gives another little jolt and shiver. "Mir swears on her own eggshell that it is what it is,and bein' as it's almost your Turnday, I thought it'd be a nice present." The egg shudders again, and starts to crack, making Enka glance down at it. "Mir aint wrong about it, I don't think, even if it don't look like what it's supposed to look like."
"Ooooh," Iris murmurs at the explanation. "I've never had to deal with that, mine both being boys and all. And they're barely home as is, silly things. Only when Ila's green is proddy, really. Or when the dragons need a good scrub." Tennant and Smith, those disloyal little buggers, always off on their own adventures, leaving Iris home alone… with the kids. and the kittens. and the hubby. and the dragons. and the kitchen. and the mounds of work left by fear aka Orraeloth. Iris wrinkles her face at Enka's TMI share, but the egg jolts, and then Iris is peering at it curiously. "Mir ain't wrong about what?" Except that she doesn't have to wait long, because the egg splits neatly and then something dainty is peering out at them. "Oh. Well. Well then. That /is/ a turnday present and a half." Her voice is full of wonder- though perhaps not nearly so much as when she and Shadhavarth met. But to the hatchling, at the saem time as Shadhavarth is mentally poking with gentle vibes, Iris is murmuring, "Don't you look like a princess. And I suppose you're hungry." Iris rummages through her purse at the same moment she glances round the room and Enka's desk to check for some sort of meat to offer.
"It's awwwwwwwwkwaaaaaard," Enka draws the word out in a long long sigh, laughing a little at the other goldrider's wrinkled face, before she winks cheerfully. "But Mir took one look at it, and said it was gold even if I didn't look like it, and she was right." Because there's that dainty little gold right there, chirruping up at them with plaintive hungry cries. "Here," Enka tosses a packet over at her junior — a plastic pouch of dried wherry jerky. "I keep it in my desk to snack on from time to time, won't think she'd like the rest of the stash I got buried in there, but she's probably got a cravin' for some of that." The weyrwoman smiles. "Happy early Turnday, Iris. Hopin' it makes up for any extra work I'm loadin' on you because our resident dimglow can't handle it. Sometimes I wish … " the sernior pauses, and glances around furtively, "wish she weren't even here at all. But it's not like we'd have any luck tradin' her away. No Weyr'd take an idiot of a goldrider."
"It's awkward enough having Ila for a mate… oh no," Iris makes a moue when it hits her that Ila has a bronze fire lizard… and now she has a gold. Oh, makes it even more awesomely awkward! "But at least we do have each other as an outlet." Iris catches the thrown pack of wherry jerky, rips it open quickly, and offers a piece to the tiny gold." After the fire lizard hatchling eats it up, Iris looks up at Enka thoughtfully and smiles just a bit. "Thank you, Enka." There's a pause. "Really, don't worry about it. I mean, maybe we'll have another junior next time 'round and she'll be brilliant. That's what Shadhavarth tells me, anyway. That she'll be brilliant."
"At least you don't have a bronze /and/a gold firelizard," Enka puts in with some humor, sliding sideways onto her desk, "although I'm sure you could just find a reason then to find some quality time with Ila then. Helps havin' a weyrmate, I'd bet, could be worse." The senior quirks an eye brow at that moue from her junior, but refrains from commenting. "outlets, heh." Well, that's it, the weyrwoman's mind is in the gutter now. Outlets indeed. "You're welcome." another pause as she watches Iris feed the newly hatched gold some jerky. "I'm crossin' my fingers," she admits at last, "that /some/ gold will rise, and that we'll have a brilliant junior. Trustin' Shadhavarth on this one. And Mir. Though Mir aint sayin' either way." Enka makes a face, glancing at Iris. "I'd just like knowin' what the deal with Orraeloth is, I've got my doubts, but I've been proven wrong in the past."
"You just need to get one of your own again!" Iris grins mischeviously, "though it does make a good reason… not that Ila /ever/ needs a reason to get, ah, horny." Faranth knows, he's horny essentially all the time. Enka-gutter, you've met your match. "You never know, really. I mean, as much as we all rag on Orraeloth, maybe she'll have a fantastic, amazing daughter that we'll all envy and be happy to meet." Iris will be happy to meet just about anybody half-again as competent as their other junior gold.
Enka chuckles. "You think I ought to set my cap for Zi'on again?" she squirms a little further up the desk, bracing a hand as not to bump into the bowl of hot sand and send it crashing down onto the floor. What a mess that would be! "Except I don't think he's too interested in shackin' up with anyone at the moment. We just have our fun together when Mir goes proddy. Hasn't happened for a /while/ now though." Not that the goldrider's worried or anything, of course. There's a soft laugh of amusement. "Ila's always turn on, huh? Sometimes that can have it's disadvantages. You do sleep, don't you?" Enka tilts her head, watching the firelizard and Iris for a moment. "Seems fittin',"she observes, "that you've got Mir's daughter, and Sunshine's." It's like a two-fer special or something. "I aint holdin' my breath, but if Orraeloth managed to clutch a gold with a smartand brilliant rider, we could definitely have her around, and .." did Enka just make a throat slashy gesture there? "… see to it that Liora and Orraeloth went somewhere far away. Like an island. Far far away." She shrugs. "As it is, I'm more hopin' it's Shadhavarth or Mir who clutches the next gold."
To be continued….

Christian Themes in Indian Art: From the Mogul Times till Today
By- Anand Amaladass SJ and Gudrun Lowner
This book is a pioneering work presenting Christian themes in Indian art from the beginnings of Christianity in India till today. The authors have, in the main, dealt with paintings and sculptures, but have supplemented this with one chapter on architecture, particularly that of church buildings, and one on popular art, including stamps. More than 1,100 rare coloured illustrations make this publication a unique reference book. It is the first complex treatment of the theme done in the last 25 years. Special emphasis is given to artists who as Hindus, Muslims and Parsees have chosen to paint Biblical themes. Already in the 16th century the encouraging and surprising encounter between European Christian prints and Indian miniature paintings took place. The Muslim Emperor Akbar invited three Jesuit missions from Goa to the Mogul court. Fascinated by European Madonnas and engravings, especially with Christian themes, he ordered his paintings to copy them in various ways. This was the start of a revolutionary fusion in Indian miniatures.
Most of the Bengali artists who were attracted by the human God Jesus and his agony are Hindus like Nandalal Bose, Jamini Roy, Nikhal Biswas, Arup Das, Suhas Roy, Suman Roy, Sudip Roy etc. The authors always give a short biography and then highlight his/her works connected with the theme. The late Muslim M.F. Husain, whose faceless Mother Teresa pictures became icons, is presented side by side with his close friends, the Hindu Krishnen Khanna, the Parsee Jehangir Sabavala, the Hindu artists Satish Gujral, V. Nageshkar, Anjolie Menon, Ramchandran and the Sikh sisters Amrita and Rabindra Kaur Singh. The Who is Who of Indian art history is presented from a new angle. Christian artists include the late F.N. Souza, who simultaneously hated and loved his Christian childhood God, and artists like A.D. Thomas, Angela Trindade, A. Fonesca, V. Masoji, F. Wesley (both by Naomi Wray), C.J. Anthony Doss, Alphonso Doss, S. Raj, J. Sahi, L. D'Souza-Krone, Sister Clair etc., all who stand for the attempt to incorporate the Christian gospel into the Indian culture. This original research includes many young talents too. An extensive Bibliography, Glossary and Index make this book an indispensable reference source for many years to come. Every library and individuals interested in intercultural encounter between India and the West in art, intercultural theology, dialogue and history must have this book.
Anand Amaldass SJ studied Philosophy and Catholic Theology. He took a Master's degree in Sanskrit and a Ph. D. from the University of Madras in 1981. Since 1984, he is teaching at Satya Nilayam Jesuit Faculty of Philosophy in Chennai, now part of the Loyola (Autonomous) College, Chennai. He was Dean of the Faculty and Director of the Research Institute for Philosophy and Sanskrit. Since his post-doctoral studies at the Vienna University, Austria in 1982-1984, he has taught nearly every year as a visiting professor in Frankfurt/Germany 2012. He has also been visiting faculty at the Wurzburg University, Germany and the Gregorian University in Rome. His area of research includes Indian philosophy and religion, aesthetics and interfaith dialogue . More than 40 books have been written or edited by him including a publication on the Dhvani theory in Indian Aesthetics (Vienna, Austria, 1984). He has also published around 100 articles in English and in Indian books and journals.
Gudrun Lowner studied Protestant Theology and comparitive religion in Bochum, Wuppertal, Geneva and Heidelberg. Her Ph. D. was from Heildelberg University in 1997 after intensive field studies in Sri Lanka. Her thesis has the title Religion and Development in Sri Lanka. Her studies were supported by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation in Cologne, Germany. In 2008 she received the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for her academic and social work in India. After working on the staff of the Protestant University of Wuppertal, Germany, she is now working in Bangalore. Her areas of research include Buddhism, India and art.

It was the harder and my hands were already crying before I started to work on this. I think I spent 3 hours on it, maybe more. This last was not so good like the rest of the things. It missed 4 screws, and the screws for the handlers are not the correct so I'll need to replace it when I can.
I had lunch (last day of my diet!!!) then I moved the shoe storage to my room and I put my shoes inside. This is how the new furniture look:
I asked to Flor if she wants my old furniture because she doesnt have. She came to take my old nigthstand and desk. I have another furniture I want to take out of my bedroom but first I need to see where I can put the things I store there.
Although hands were hurting as hell I didn't take a break and continued moving things around. I throw in the trash papers, old jewerly, old clothes, old makeup, old bed sheets and a lot of things that I wont use. I stopped at 9pm, I took a shower then I had dinner. After that I came to the computer and I did 50 minutes bike while writing here.
I am not so tired as I thought I was going to be, maybe tomorrow every muscle of my body will hurt, I don't know, and actually I don't care because I am very very very happy with the new furniture and how I am changing my life every day

Low resistance or a short could cause the amperage to extend and hurt the injector driver. You'll get that information in this piece. This 5 Volt could also be shared by different sensors.

This week we are experimenting with with network performances; essentially having individual computers work together and share information for more diverse performances.
This work makes use of the Microsoft Kinect for tracking, and makes use of the dancers gestures and position within the performance space. For this Sarah will be controlling a bed track and one-shot sounds that can be triggered. The the bed track(s) are placed throughout the room, with amplitude mapping to the dancers proximity to them in virtual space. As well, the dancers hands control a pitch bend on the bed track. Lastly, by tracking the velocity of the hands we are able to trigger one-shot samples (in this case bells/celeste sounds) when her hands move above a certain speed. The pitch of the samples is controlled by the Y position of her head, meaning that the range low-high is mapped in low-high vertical space.
Beyond this, Byron will be controlling Alec's video with his horn, where the amplitude of the horn is mapped to the brightness of the video playback. Because the horn has a wide dynamic range and the ability to do short, long, sustained attacks and different dynamic shapes, it means that the video can be manipulated in many ways. As well, Byron's horn is being processed, with the processed sound being the main controller for the video. By using delay and reverb effects, we can control video processing in a more dynamic way than simply note-on/note-off.
Right now we are still very much testing and experimenting with this. We've been running into a number of issues with the networking, but have otherwise laid the groundwork for a diverse and exciting performance environment.
We ride together, we die together, bad boys for life.

Emigrating to any country can be a stressful time, let alone over 9,000 miles across the world to Australia. So, to make the process as smooth and as easy as possible, the team at John Mason enlisted comedian, broadcaster and jungle pro Iain Lee to create a series of fun videos giving advice and information on the ins and outs of moving abroad. The playful videos include 'Leave It Out', which gives tips on what you can and can't take with you down under, including homemade Christmas decorations, fur coats, wicker baskets and even dirty Y-fronts! UK and Australian food goes head-to-head in a 'Blind Tucker Challenge', where Marmite takes on Vegemite, Fuze Tea takes on PG Tips and Freddo bars battle Caramellos.
Simon Hood, Sales and Marketing Director at John Mason International Movers said, "With his popularity following I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Iain is the perfect person to give our customers useful information and advice on emigrating to Australia, with a fun and fitting approach. We want to reach out to our customers in a way that gets the message across without daunting lists and rules, and with a large number of our customers being fans of the ITV show, this seemed like the perfect solution."
The videos were shot in the Palm House at Kew Gardens and involved some strange props and contributors, including the jungle-savvy celebrity, three camera crew, one jungle outfit, a packet of Tim Tams, kangaroo meat, roast beef, a British flag, an Australian flag and even a pair of 8XL Y-fronts!
Iain Lee said, "If you're thinking about moving to Australia – don't be a 'flaming gallah' – contact the guys at John Mason International Movers to make sure your move Down Under goes nice and smoothly."

Rare Collections Wanted!Since the beginning of time almost mankind has kept records and in the modern-age of today when there should be zillions of records available, we discover that many were lost in court house fires, wars, or other disasters. I think of court house clerks seated at their desks copying original documents into ledgers. And they could not hold on to these ledgers? But it is worse. Misspelled words seem to prevail in the copy. How often have you seen the testator's name written differently in the opening paragraph of his lwt, and in the signature? I worked on a lineage for several years before realizing that the clerk has omitted one of the names of the children. It was so obvious that this child belong to the family when I compared deeds, marriages and other family documents. It is a good practice, focusing upon the subject matter and ferreting out the details. Even thought there were court house fires, eventually some of the missing documents show up. This is because the clerk had a habit of taking his work home. The court house burned. The clerk died. But the ledgers were found in the attic some one hundred years later! As researchers, we must be persistent, and believe that the information will eventually emerge, perhaps under our own steady eye. But consider all of the people who gathered information beforethe records burned. I have seen some interesting items in antique shops which relate to specific families. The key is to locate as much old family records as we can and post it to the internet. I have been doing just that since the organization of Georgia Pioneers in 1993! The recently created and growing Genealogy Vault on this website offers about 6000 genealogies and rare collections thus far. I mean, these are collections of family historians dating back to the 1930s who had the old letters, documents, and lineage charts microfilmed. Stick with me, kiddo, there is more coming!

OLYMPIA, Wash. - Lila Hadway will tell you her face bashed and bloodied wasn't the worst of it. The scariest part for her was the look on her wife's face.
"When she was held against her will, she had a look like she had no way out," said Hadway.
Wife Angela was with her just after midnight Sunday. Lila, a Drag King, had just finished a charity benefit downtown. She says they were with friends, headed to a parking lot when a crowd confronted them and hurled slurs about their sexual orientation. It happened near 4th Avenue East and Franklin.
"The guy that was throwing insults at my wife turned around and looked at me, 'You look like a man, I am going to hit you like a man" recalled Hadway
She says she pleaded to be left alone, but instead was punched twice. She was left with a swollen face and broken teeth.
Anna Schlecht with Capital City Pride says it has started a discussion on their Facebook page about bringing back Q Patrol.
"Q patrol was something that was started in New York as a way to protect LGBT people from hate crime," she said.
Schlecht adds, "the best thing we can do is stand together against hate, and that is what the Olympia community is doing."
"Drag kings and queens do have a voice, and we live in America," said Hadway. "We are allowed to practice our freedom of speech."
Olympia Detectives are investigating. Anyone with information should call police at 360-753-8300.

She's also got ambition. A candidate for state Attorney General in 2010, she hopes to bring her "smart on crime" approach--which has resulted in a marked increase in homicide clearance rates in SF compared to her predecessor, Terrence Hallinan--to one of California's most important and visible offices. And the rumor mill is already swirling with hints that her ultimate goal is the chair currently occupied by America's first black POTUS, Barack Obama (whom she was among the first to champion).
On June 29, Harris holds a fundraiser at Maxwell's in Oakland to firm up her base in her home region (she's originally from the biggity biggity O). The cost is only $30 to get in, making the event accessible to community folk as well as political muckity-mucks. And the event features a nice array of local musical talent: Martin Luther, the Kev Choice Ensemble, Fear & Fancy, and DJ D-Sharp, as well as co-host Raphael Saadiq. Who knew Harris was so hip?
