The contest for this A-Z Series video is over.
Watch the latest series video and enter the current contest!
Rich Robinson came through to the Paste Studio and played his newest single, "The Music That Will Lift Me" off of his upcoming album Flux, out June 24, as well as "Cause Your With Me" and "Veil" off of his highly acclaimed 2004 debut Paper.
Robinson is probably best known as one of the founding members of southern rock outfit The Black Crowes. Robinson started the group with his brother back in 1989 while they were both still high schoolers in Marietta, Georgia. It was actually during this time, when Robinson was just 15, that he wrote the music to The Black Crowes most famous song and breakout hit "She Talks To Angels." Though Robinson had found success as a member of a unit, when the band took its first hiatus in 2002, he decided it was time to steer his sound in a new direction as a solo artist.
His most recent solo effort The Ceaseless Sight finds Robinson keeping with his tradition, and serious knack for writing melodic songs with detailed arrangements. Something happens with his music that makes each sound feel like it's reaching out to you, like it was put there specifically for you to hear it and feel something at that precise moment. It's a quality that makes him appealing across genres. You don't have to like southern rock or Americana to appreciate the glory of Robinson's work. The man is a meticulous and purposeful songwriter, making the live experience of his music a joy that's one of a kind.

By Henny Kupferstein, M.A.
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) for autistics is based on Pavlov's operant conditioning for dogs. In this video, you can see the lone dog waiting for permission to have fun. Watching this clip, I can almost hear the ABA kid saying, "Miss Ashley–what am I working for? After I swim for 5 minutes, can I have 15 minutes of iPad time?"
Many of my autistic piano students are ABA survivors. They have been led to believe that they have no original thoughts, intentions, or free will. Everything they do is scripted, and everything they don't do is conditioned. It takes us weeks to begin undoing the damage. In the worst cases, it takes months or years, depending on their age and the length of the ABA-induced trauma.
To investigate child development, 19th century behaviorist Ivan Pavlov experimented on dogs. Back in the days before ethics banned such experiments, he assumed that dogs will comply with the training because they are motivated by food. Operant conditioning is a way to manipulate (condition) the environment (operation) to produce an outcome. If the behavior is rewarded with a good consequence, more of that good behavior will keep coming. Likewise, if a behavior is negatively reinforced, the behavior will dissolve.
ABA (applied behavior analysis) is considered an 'evidence-based treatment' for autism, only because the evidence is based on Pavlov's dogs. When applied to humans, the parent who prefers a favorable outcome will be delighted that their child finally learned to go potty. The problem extends into the ethics of those in position of power who determine the goals. The therapist and parent get to decide on a list of behaviors to enforce, and a list of behaviors to diminish. This can include much-needed self regulatory stimming (Also read: Reframing Autistic Behavior Problems as Self Preservation: A Freudian View). As in child sexual abuse*, the victim will lifelessly comply if they are groomed with compliments and treats. Just like Pavlov speculated, we are more likely to repeat a behavior once we learn that it produces positive consequences.
In the above video, you can see a non-speaking autistic piano student who was kicking and screaming straight through his first lesson. By the second week, he was playing and reading independently. By the third week, he was happy to follow my guidance to correct his fingering. One month later, this student is now playing with two hands and waits all week for his lesson time, ready to shine. In the first lesson, he had to be convinced to read and play only after the dreaded reward chart was shown to him. After the first month of lessons, he is happily seated at the piano without any rewards mentioned.
With my autistic piano students, the work starts from the first lesson when the student realizes that playing the piano is the 'reward' and not the 'task' with which to work on for a reward. Rather than dumbing the material down to rehearsing Twinkle-Twinkle, I start the first lesson with sophisticated music so they can hear the the sound of their own intelligence. This no-fail approach always leads to lightbulb moments where the kids begin to come back to life. For the parent witnessing their child's strengths, the lessons are a dramatic change from the rest of the week's structure.
* While I recognize the complexity of the psychology around sexual abuse, I am in no way implying that ABA is comparable to sexual abuse. Rather, I am troubled by the way in which they are similar: both are adult-imposed manipulation on a vulnerable person for producing an pre-planned outcome.

Have you been jogging and perhaps you just don't like the feeling of your iPod/iPhone in your pocket? Well perhaps as an alternative to armbands, inventors Jon and Lenny have come up with a new way for you to attach your iPod/iPhone to yourself without the need for straps, clips, Velcro or magnets, and they're calling this new innovation The Move.
How it works
1) Place The Movebehind your shirt or article of clothing that you are going to 'wear' The Move with.
2) Position The Move where you want your iPhone4/iPod Touch screen to appear.
3) Place your iPhone4/iPod Touchin front of your shirt or article of clothing.
4) Secure your iPhone4/iPod Touch bysnapping it into The Move
It looks quite cool as only the screen of your iPod/iPhone is visible, giving people the illusion that you have a screen installed onto your t-shirt. As it is attached to your clothes, the creators have claimed that this is the reason why The Move will remain secure.
Currently the project has yet to kick off and the creators are looking for funding of $25,000. If this is something that you would not having, or perhaps you're an angel investor, just head on down to their Kickstarter page and make your contribution.

♥ or after the completion of basic care in the use BB Cream or Cream ♥:
what a gold mine of awesome! kaloka yung toothpaste mounted noh? at yung "allows morning the skin of spirit glory!"
but i suppose this is what they meant, it's a squeezy tube.
hangul description if you wanna practice reading.
description in engRish, ah ideal facial expression. ano kaya yun?
ey the ingredients are in english!
has a shelf life of 12months
this is what it looks like. so it's unlike any makeup primers i've tried. it's supposed to be a combination of both primer and skin care.
i apply this after i apply sun screen if my foundation will have very low spf.
영앙 & 보 습 & 실키 30초 피부케어 - just means good skin care with silky finish within 30seconds
it actually doesn't look like anything after it has been absorbed by my skin
and here i am with the full office appropriate makeup look. hampucha parang milagro lang di ba? the power of makeup talaga! oh don't mind me i'm on a love / hate relationship with my non-made-up self lately. if i'm not pms-ing it's the weird weather allergy if it's not that it's my monthly hahaha the fun never stops, i tell ya!
- the packaging much more convenient in the mounted toothpaste kyeme - in other words the upside down squeezy tube. you may recall this where in you had to mix something in the cup to activate the ingredients etc, so this newer version is a more travel pack friendly version and no mixing so this new packaging is more hygienic
- no weird scent
- easy to apply
- absorbs easily
- i only get only at the tip of my nose, i'd say on a scale of 1-5 1 being the lowest 5 the best oil control like no need to blot (impossible dream) this allows me just one time blotting in the middle of the day so i give its oil control a 3.5 over 5
- didn't break me out
- does make my foundation last longer
- doesn't let my foundation oxidize on me
- allows for a smoother application of my foundation
- doesn't feel heavy on my skin
- made the pore coverage of my foundation better than it would if i had just used the foundation on its own
- takes just a little product to cover my entire face
- available in the Philippines.
- this does not have sun screen therefore you'll need an extra step to apply sunscreen over or under this for sun protection

The "STEM problem" is real.
There are not enough students choosing STEM-related paths to meet the growing global demand. We need to change the way we think about teaching these topics if we want to get more students involved.
Educators need something that is accessible enough for a new user to pick up quickly, engaging enough to keep students excited, and versatile enough to encourage creative thinking. The study of robotics has risen to the top as one of the most effective solutions to this need – and for over ten years, no robotics platform has proven more suitable for classroom use than VEX EDR.
VEX EDR is more than an integrated system of motors, wheels, metal, and sensors that can be used to build or programprogramme robots. It's an established classroom companion for STEM learning in middle and high school. It's a tool to help students understand crucial problem-solving concepts. It's a catalyst to help students discover a passion that could continue to drive them through college, a career, or even the rest of their life.
Ready to get started?
Whether you're launching a district-wide programprogramme or building your first robot, VEX EDR kit options make it easy to choose what's right for you.
- Kits available for an individual robot, a full classroom, and everything in between
- Follow step-by-step build instructions to build your first robot, then expand upon it to build whatever you can imagine

My very own Azalea
Added Feb 4, 2008
by spiderlily
San Clemente, Ca...
I finally made the Azalea dress and I am happy with how it came out. It was a very easy pattern to follow. It came out a whole size larger than my actual measurements though so I had to take 2" from the side seams. It came out great anyway!
Material Notes
black double knit, white and red woven cotton.

Very Very nice! I must let you know that I looked at all the Azalea dress variations, I picked yours as my favourite! It looks so nice, and the fabrics are great together. I dont realy like the neckline, I prefer the real patterns neckline, but it really dosent matter when you have a knockout dress like yours! I love it!
Nov 4, 2008, 01.21 PMby alissarose
I had an extremely low desire to make this dress due to its looseness, but after seeing yours – WOW!

Apr 1, 2008, 06.00 PMby akoko

Feb 15, 2008, 10.56 AMby marmota-b

Feb 12, 2008, 09.17 AMby baerbelborn
OMG, I can´t believe its the same pattern that I downloaded weeks ago! I thought it will turn out pretty, but yours is couture! I keep it in mind when I start mine, thanks for sharing this color idea!
Feb 12, 2008, 06.56 AMby efran
Very lovely! And I like your version with the sash below the bust instead of at the waist. Looks more flattering..I have fabric in mind for a dress of my own! Thanks!
Feb 7, 2008, 03.43 PMby bellinda81

Feb 5, 2008, 02.31 PMby emilykate
I'm with escorpio, the more I see this the more I think… gotta have one! I like that people are using belts- the potential tenty-ness was what was putting me off. Your fabric is lovely!
Feb 5, 2008, 10.03 AMby lanikai
Way too cute! Fantastic work! LOVE THE FABRIC CHOICE! Great job!
Feb 5, 2008, 09.21 AMby escorpio

Feb 5, 2008, 09.00 AMby ceregana

Feb 5, 2008, 05.07 AMby senasews

Feb 5, 2008, 01.34 AMby jd98
absolutely gorgeous! thanks for the comments on finished size. I want one!!! (it's winter here, so more into jackets and coats :p)
Feb 4, 2008, 10.16 PMby meadow
My favorite Azalea yet! Really pretty woven fabric and the combo of colors is both simple and stunning. I like the touch of the longer black under-piece (not sure what it is called).
Feb 4, 2008, 09.03 PMby sunnyb64
Very pretty! I like the fabric combo.
Feb 4, 2008, 07.33 PMby whiti
It's so pretty! I found there was a significant difference between my size and the finished measurement printed on the pattern. I went with the finished size rather than my size and made a muslin to fit – no adjustment needed. So far (touch wood) I've gone with the finished sizes rather than mine – I guess I like clothes to fit a little closer!! I love the colour combo of your azalea; it makes me want to make another!

2007 Ford Focus Hatchback 5 doors 1.6 Rocam flex fuel
Solid and spacious car
Until now I didn't have any problem, but the car is fairly new.
General Comments:
This is really value for money. The road handling is very good, stability is good, and it is easy to keep control.
It almost asks for fast driving due to its superb road handling. The space inside is very good, also for shopping. The view is less good than I am used to. The rear window is quite small and you don't have a good overview of the car's sizes when parking.
The ethanol flex motor has a lot of horsepower; 112 hp what is really sufficient for this car. With gasoline he is a little less strong. Using ethanol is a really nice feeling, driving around without bad smell and pollution.
In general I am quit satisfied with this car. The engine could be more smooth and the suspension a little less hard, but then you would also give up its road handling.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
We first looked at the Silicon Motion 2246EN controller in our Angelbird SSD wrk review. In that review, we noted the highest sequential performance seen in any SATA SSD reviewed to date. Eager to expand our testing to include additional vendors and capacities, our next review touching on this controller is the Corsair Force LX series of SSDs. The Force LX Series is available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB capacities, and today we will look at the 256GB and 512GB iterations of this line:

What is in a brand? The tale of two low cost SSDs
Subject: Storage | July 28, 2014 - 03:52 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: adata, SP610, corsair, Force LX, 512GB
Two drives are competing for the budget segments money on Legit Reviews, the $250 Corsair Force LX 512GB and the $240 ADATA SP610 512GB SSD. 512GB should be enough for most budget users to store their needed software on and save them the cost of an HDD but which will offer the most value for the money? Both drives have Silicon Motion's SM2246EN controller and 20nm Micron MLC NAND, the same 3 year warranty and the same physical measurements. Does one stand out over the other? Read the full review to see.
"Solid-State Drive (SSD) have been steadily growing in capacity and thanks to improvements to the manufacturing processes the price of NAND and SSD controllers has been falling at an impressive rate. This means that fairly large SSDs are now fairly affordable and something the for the average consumer can justify purchasing."

No Age Did Not Write a Song About a Famously Terrible Mariah Carey Movie
They did, however, write a song called "Glitter."
In fact, the L.A. punk duo's new song, "Glitter" — the single off September 28's Everything in Between, No Age's third studio album — doesn't mention Ms. Carey at all. Somehow, it still manages to be great: The dudes bring back their trademark dollops-of-distortion sound but leave just enough off the top to make the triumphantly defeated hook ("I don't caaaaaare anymore") really pop. If this, for some impossible reason, was actually on the Glitter soundtrack, MC would have probably been at least nominated for an Oscar.

"Luck" recap: Becoming whole

Links to this post
Labels: Luck
HBO: It's not TV. It's really, really uncomfortable TV
If there's any genre of TV about which I'm especially picky and critical, it's the squirmcom. You know what I'm referring to: that particular brand of comedy that finds its humor in horrifically awkward situations created by characters who have a staggering lack of awareness, both of themselves and the world they live in.
The two giants of this form of comedy are, of course Ricky Gervais -- who created the incredibly squirmy series "The Office" and "Extras" -- and HBO -- which aired "Extras," Larry David's masterpiece of squirm "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and the one-season squirmfest "The Comeback."
Tonight at 10:30, HBO will debut its latest partnership with Gervais, the mockumentary "Life's Too Short," featuring Warwick Davis, the dwarf actor best known for his work in movies like "Willow," the "Harry Potter" films and "Return of the Jedi" (he played an Ewok, a fact that's referenced endlessly in the three episodes I watched). At 10 p.m. HBO will also premiere the third season of its extremely squirmy "Eastbound and Down," which has become something of a cult hit, likely due to Danny McBride's impressively committed performance as boorish ballplayer Kenny Powers.
Both "Eastbound" and "Short" feature obnoxious characters who don't understand why the world doesn't bow at their feet. In "Short," Davis plays a particularly boorish version of himself. He steals all the best roles requiring a dwarf for himself, even though he's running a talent agency for other short-statured actors. He dumped his wife because he thought he could do better (and soon realizes that he can't, and repeatedly breaks into his ex's house). He insults fans and generally behaves like a jerk. I guess this is supposed to be funny, but Gervais and his producing partner Stephen Merchant have gone to this well once too often, and to better effect. Yes, the lead characters of "The Office" and "Extras" were jerks, but, in both cases, there were sympathetic supporting characters who balanced the shows and gave them a sense of realism. Here, all the supporting characters -- including heightened versions of Gervais and Merchant -- are just as annoying as Davis. In fact, a lot of people who pop up here are actually cruel to Davis, mocking his height and lowered celebrity profile. I guess we're supposed to enjoy people taking this pompous actor down a peg, but it just kind of made me sad. Slurs against someone's height, weight, race, gender or the like don't become funny simply because the person being slurred isn't likable. And that's what these are -- slurs. Calling a dwarf "it" isn't a joke that could be funny with the right delivery. It's an insult.
Yes, there are parts of "Short" that are funny -- mainly the cameos by such celebrities as Liam Neeson and Johnny Depp. And Davis is a good sport with a decent sense of timing. But, on balance, "Short" is a lot of discomfort with very little payoff.
However, I have become a fan of "Eastbound and Down," even though that show is incredibly uncomfortable, and lacks the veneer of sophistication that adorns the Gervais shows. I'm not sure why I like it, other than I simply find it funny. McBride, whether he has a career beyond this show or not, is amazingly willing to behave like a complete jerk. Kenny Powers isn't simply unsympathetic. He's reprehensible. This season features him trying to raise his baby son, and it's the rare time when I feel a TV baby is actually in danger. There are also various strange subplots, including a jaw-dropping one involving Will Ferrell's return as demented car salesman Ashley Schaeffer. The season that debuts tonight is supposed to be the show's final one, and that's probably for the best. I'm not sure the show could keep up this level of insanity much longer.

Brace yourself: The second half of "Walking Dead" season two might not be terrible
|Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson) - Photo Credit: Gene Page/AMC
So, it's with some hesitation that I tell you that the first episode of the second season's second half (which airs tonight at 9) is pretty promising. In short, stuff happens. Nothing that really moves the plot dramatically forward, but stuff. There's one zombie jolt at the beginning, some decent imagery and a fairly tense confrontation in the final sequence between Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Hershel (Scott Wilson), Glenn (Steve Yeun) and a couple of creepy fellow survivors (one of who is played by the always-welcome Michael Raymond James of "Terriers"). It's a decently dread-filled episode and gave me some hope. The real question, however, is where will the show go from here? Will there actually be plot movement, gripping action sequences and real character development? Or will we just spend a bunch of episodes watching Shane (Jon Bernthal) glower and listening to everyone else contemplate giving him the boot? This episode, admittedly, contains a really frustrating sequence between two character, in which one espouses a theory about Shane that the audience knows is true, but which another character stupidly refuses to believe. So maybe my hope is misplaced.
But I like pieces of "The Walking Dead" enough to give it a shot. Here's hoping that this is the beginning of good things.

Seven things I learned from this year's Super Bowl
So, like a lot of people, I watch the Super Bowl primarily for the spectacle. Yeah, living New York-adjacent, I was happy the Giants won and all, but I was much more amped about Madonna playing "Like a Prayer" in the half-time show than I was about anything that happened in the game (side note -- so M.I.A. made an obscene gesture during the show? How did I miss that???!).
Anyway, the big draw for Super Bowl viewers like me is usually the commercials. Sadly, this year's crop was kind of weak, though I did have few favorite. I also found the commercials fairly educational in a way. Below is my list of seven things I learned from this year's crop of commercials. Enjoy.

Every project is a partnership. We have years of experience in animation and we love what we do. We listen attentively and figure out what you want to do and the best way we can achieve it.
We have worked with broadcasters, super brands and everybody in between. No project is too small or too big for us. We work in a wide palette of styles – from light to dark, serious to silly, and from simple to sophisticated. We pride ourselves on being good to work with, light on our feet and adaptive to new styles and media.
Behind the scenes
Our city centre studio helps us to be adaptable and flexible. We have a dedicated production office, design studio and large areas for shooting and animating. We can create and animate pretty much anything, from stop-motion character animation, to live-action green screen photography, to physical effects, to pixillation (animating people).
No two days are ever the same at Second Home Studios. We could be making marionettes one day, shooting dancers on green screen the next and finishing the week off with talking donuts.
Here are some images from behind the scenes of our projects so you can see the nuts and bolts behind our work.
Our Team
Chris Randall
Creative Director
Chris trained in visual effects both as a film clapper-loader (Red Dwarf model unit / The Magic Camera Company) and then a modelmaker. Animation was both an experiment and bizarre accident, combining his best-loved practices both in front of and behind the camera. Consequently, he spent four years as a designer and stop-motion animator for CITV, culminating in the creation of The Junkyard Jungle, a promotional vehicle for the channel told through the voices of a talking banana skin, a dead fish and a sparkplug. When this, along with two other promotional bodies of work, won Promax gold awards, his boss suggested he might be onto something. Second Home Studios seemed like the logical next step for a workplace which he seldom leaves. Since then he has produced BAFTA and RTS winning work. He is represented by Picasso Pictures for commercial directing work (contact firstname.lastname@example.com).
Ian Whittle
Lead Animator
Ian's MA in Animation at Wrexham University was completed with a distinction. He began at Second Home Studios in 2006 on a work experience placement and has remained ever since. Ian has been heavily involved in all the studio's projects, bringing a rare versatility to both fields of design and animation. He researches intensely and works fast whilst retaining a meticulous attention to detail. His design work encompasses both the 2D and 3D realms. As a character performer, he can inject subtlety or spectacle on demand.
Adam M. Watts
Stop-Motion Animator
After Adam's BA graduation film screened at Flip Festival '07, he joined Second Home Studios on work experience. That was the beginning of a collaboration spanning nearly a decade. Trained and mentored over the years by Chris and Ian, Adam steadily built up an impressive showreel which earned him a place on the Character Animation course run at Aardman with the National Film & Television School in 2013.
Besides the ongoing projects at Second Home, he has been Lead Stop Motion Animator on multi award-winning short "Edmond" (BAFTA/Annecy/Sundance), has animated for Aardman on commercials and the Morph series, several Disney specials at Factory, and commercials at ITV (for Nationwide, Amazon, BT, Dreams, and DFS.
Marija Salajeva
Post-Production Assistant
Marija graduated from Birmingham City University in 2014. She won the Visual Communication award in her Film and Animation class for her impressive portfolio of computer generated models and detailed design skills. Since then she has been involved in all projects at the studio, expanding her skills in modelling and animation with a specialism in photo-real scenarios. She remains at the core of all compositing and post-production work at Second Home.
The SHS Story
Our story is a bit like one of our projects, a partnership and idea that developed over time.
Chris Randall and Jim Turner created the company (Second Home Productions Ltd.) in October 2004 because of the increasing demand from theatre companies to provide unique onstage visuals for stage productions. The partnership brought together experience in animation and camera discipline, with Chris as Director and Jim as Co-Producer. These theatrical projects ranged from political satire with Follow My Leader to all-out spectacles of tornadoes and magic with The Wizard of Oz.
As the passion and demand for animation grew, Second Home Studios became a dedicated animation production house in 2008 with Chris as sole director. Jim followed one of his other passions and became a freelance live-action/documentary director based in Bristol but still remains a close friend of the studio.
In the course of its animation history Second Home has created a number of big projects and won numerous awards. With each new challenge comes the opportunity to break new ground, in the spirit of those early projects upon which the studio was founded.

Dale Sveum is Eager to See Jeff Samardzija Start and Other Bullets
Yesterday, among many other comments (which will be discussed later), Matt Garza noted that things were already better for the 2012 Chicago Cubs because now "we've got better cooks." He was, of course, referring to the food in Mesa, but I couldn't help but see the metaphor. The Cubs definitely have better cooks, Matt.
- New manager Dale Sveum says he's at home in Spring Training, being around baseball. "It seems like I got hired two years ago," Sveum said. "You're just waiting for this day to come to finally get on the field, and it took until late afternoon to get out there. When you do this for so many years, the most comfortable spot you're in is when you're on the grass and Spring Training and when the balls are being hit and caught and thrown and to be able to talk to everybody. It's officially baseball season, finally, and that's when we're all most comfortable."
- One of Sveum's first orders of business? Figuring out what he's got in Jeff Samardzija, who emerged as a quality reliever last year, but still hopes to have a chance to start. "We just want to look at him and see how he reacts to multiple innings and see what happens by the end of Spring Training to make that decision," Sveum said on Samardzija's future role. "We haven't promised anybody anything. The fact of the matter is to see what we've got there. He might wow us – you never know. That's a power arm and a power body that is obviously built to start." The question for Samardzija as a starter remains a simple, two-parter: can he keep the walks down, and can he utilize three quality pitches so that opposing lineups aren't teeing off on him by the second and third time through the order. If he can do those things, he could be an excellent starter. If not, he could remain a very good reliever.
- Sveum confirmed my guess that the only three pitchers locked into the rotation right now are Matt Garza, Ryan Dempster, and Paul Maholm, saying that a list of pitchers including Randy Wells, Chris Volstad, Travis Wood, Casey Coleman, Andy Sonnanstine, and Samardzija are competing for those last two spots.
- God's Wrath may have been camping out in Mesa, just waiting for the Cubs to arrive – lefty John Gaub strained his back lifting weights, and won't be able to pitch for a few days. It's not serious, but, hey: this is how it starts. Next thing you know, Starlin Castro is having a finger removed after a surprise outbreak of flesh-eating bacteria.
- Buster Olney says the Yankees have a deal in place with Raul Ibanez, pending a physical, which is a bummer. Did you already forget why? Now that Ibanez has signed a Major League deal (as opposed to having to settle for a minor league deal), the Cubs' compensatory pick for Carlos Pena falls from number 54 next year to number 56. Not a huge drop, maybe not even a meaningful one. But still stinks, ever so slightly.
- Joe Cowley interviewed former Cubs GM Jim Hendry, who, as always, acquits himself as a super-nice guy. But, I'm getting mighty tired of seeing the kind of inherently conflicted logic that we've been seeing for years (in this instance, from Cowley). Namely: You can't, on the one hand, extol Hendry for being the only GM to take the Cubs to three postseasons, and then, on the other hand, say that the last three years weren't his fault, since the Tribune Company insisted he spend big money on overpriced free agents and in-house extensions. Guess what? Without those overpriced free agents/extensions, the Cubs don't make the playoffs in 2007 and 2008. You can't have it both ways, no matter how much you want to deride fans who criticize a number of Hendry's decisions.
- Another set of MLBullets at BCB – Chone Figgins as a leadoff hitter? Seriously?

There is no doubt that good quality sleep is the best thing for good health. We all know we should be getting plenty of sleep, so why is it so difficult to achieve? There is never enough time, or something wakes us up, or we simply can't fall asleep in the first place. There are reasons for all these obstacles to a perfect slumber. You just have to identify them and eliminate them. It's easier than you think!
Start with falling asleep. Common obstacles include stress, an overactive mind, too much screen time, and not enough fresh air and exercise. Caffeine too late in the day, too much sugar late at night, and trying to do more than just sleep at bedtime will also prevent you dropping off.
Have your last tea or coffee no later than 4pm. Enjoy a brisk walk before the sun goes down. You might play with the dog at the park or just enjoy a long walkies session. Write down on a notepad all the things that are stressing you out right now. Take that pad to bed and add the things that flood into your mind. This will help calm your thoughts down because you are acknowledging your worries. Turn off your phone and your TV and try reading a book instead when you are in your bed.
A really good bedtime routine helps your body and mind fully prepare for the task of sleeping. It doesn't really matter what you do, but try to do exactly those things in that order every night. You might start by having a bubbly bath. Then you'll brush your teeth. When you're in your pajamas, you might brush your hair before hopping up into bed. Read a little, then lights out and relax.
Now you've addressed falling asleep, you need to make sure you're staying asleep for your full eight hours! There are plenty of reviews online for good quality beds. Any company like Best Bed Boutique has details of some of the most popular types of mattresses available. Choose something that will support whatever position you prefer to sleep in. Bear in mind that lying on your front can cause posture problems and neck ache over time. On your side can cause you to roll over a bit more. If you're on your back, you may suffer from restless legs. If you have any of these problems consider changing your sleeping position.
Use blackout blinds in your own bedroom, so that passing car headlights don't disturb you. These are essential if you ever have to work shift patterns. Noisy neighbors can be a problem at night. There are comfortable earplugs available that can be worn all night. Alternatively, try moving your bed to a quieter position in the home. It's not always a good idea to drown one sound out with another.
Changing just a couple of things in the daytime can really make a huge difference at night. Best of all, many of these ideas can be implemented immediately so you can start to enjoy better quality sleep straight away. Sleep well tonight.

Guest Entry: Humanitarian Aid Legal Organization Honors Custodial Staff
Posted By Kevin R. Johnson, Nov 1, 2012
I am proud of the spirit and sense of community here at King Hall. The Humanitarian Aid Legal Organization (HALO) just held a wonderful event to recognize some key, but unsung, members of our staff: the custodians.
HALO Chair Christian Acevedo '13 contributes this guest entry to the Dean's Blog.
HALO honored the King Hall Custodial staff with a ceremonious dinner on October 30. Many custodians brought along members of their family. There were over 40 students in attendance, along with Professor Tanaka and the entire custodial staff:
- Marueen - who works the day shift, and brought along her daughter and grandchildren
- Alicia- who works the graveyard shift and gave a wonderful speech thanking King Hall students for their thoughtfulness
- Kokila, who is new to King Hall and also works the graveyard shift. She brought along her husband.
- Aleen, who typically works the Geidt Hall graveyard shift, but covers for King Hall custodial staff when they are ill.
- Dave, who works the King Hall graveyard shift, brought along his wife and daughter.
Students and custodians
Custodians and their family members
Students and the custodial staff enjoyed Italian food and Halloween cookies along with music, fun stories, and lots of laughter! HALO board members presented each staff member with a certificate of appreciation, a signed card, and flowers (or, in the case of our one male custodian, a Starbucks gift card). Our custodial staff works incredibly hard day in and day out. If you haven't had the chance, do take time to stop and say hello to them!
THANKS to Christian, HALO, and all of the members of the King Hall community who took part in recognizing our wonderful custodial staff! We value and appreciate all that you do for King Hall!

Telecommunication messages are not only broadcast through telephone cables but through satellite also. Everyday, thousands of phone calls, tv signals and computer data are transferred from one part of the world to another through satellites. A communication satellite can handle more information than cable and communicate them much faster.
Sending Signals
Messages are sent to the satellite from any earth station in the form of microwave signals. Microwaves are a type of short radio waves and can travel through space with the speed of light. Signals are sent and received through dish shaped antennas. The messages sent from the earth station are received by the satellite and are retransmitted to the earth. The antennas located on earth receive the messages and send them to the destination. These messages can be for telephone, radio or television.
Using Satellite
We can use telephone, radio and television messages to any part of the world with the help of communication satellites very easily. Any event can be telecast live from any part of the globe. Now, it is possible to transmit a telephone call which can travel around the globe and can be received at the same point from where it was transmitted with the help of communication satellites.
Satellites have proved very useful for multinational companies. Different offices in the world can be linked to each other. Office work stations have communications between each other.

Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Recall Alert
Carefusion Recall of Alaris PC Units Model 8015 Classified as Class I Recall
Suzanne Hatcher
(858) 617-1203
Carol Cox
(858) 617-2020
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - October 15, 2010 - San Diego - CareFusion (NYSE: CFN), a leading global medical device company, issued the following update regarding its previously disclosed recall of approximately 17,000 Alaris® PC units model 8015 manufactured or serviced between December 2008 and September 2009. The FDA has classified this action as a Class I recall. A Class I recall is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
On August 24, 2010, the company sent an urgent Medical Device Recall Notification to customers of its Alaris PC unit model 8015 stating that under certain wireless network conditions, affected units may experience an intermittent communication error, which freezes the PC unit screen. This error may result in a delay of therapy and inability to make programming changes to current infusions. If the communication error occurs during infusion, infusion continues on all channels, as originally programmed, but cannot be modified. When this error occurs, stopping the infusion to make any modification or programming changes causes the PC unit to shut down with a delay in therapy, which could lead to a serious injury or death.
In the notification letter, customers were provided clinical tip sheets and informed of warning tags for each of the affected units. Customers were also given instructions on how to temporarily or permanently disable the wireless mode of the PC unit setting to further mitigate the risk. This information is available at: http://www.carefusion.com/customer-support/alerts/alaris/medical-device-recall-alaris-8015.aspx9.
CareFusion is conducting a field corrective action to update the hardware on affected PC units.
The company recorded a reserve in its 2010 fiscal fourth quarter for all actions related to the corrective action plan and continues to believe the amount to be sufficient to fulfill its remediation obligations. The voluntary recall only affects Alaris PC units model 8015 manufactured or serviced between December 2008 and Sept. 2009 and therefore, has no affect on the company's current infusion pump production or shipping processes.
Instructions to customers
Customer inquiries related to this action should be addressed to the CareFusion recall center at 888-562-6018. Additional information about the recall, including serial numbers of affected devices, can be found at http://www.carefusion.com/customer-support/alerts/alaris/medical-device-recall-alaris-8015.aspx10
Any adverse reactions experienced with the use of this product, and/or quality problems should also be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Program: by mail at MedWatch, HF-2, FDA 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787; by phone at 1-800-332-1088; by Fax at 1-800.FDA.0178 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch11.

Easy exercises that I used to do when I got back into working out regularly
Okay, I must confess. There was a time I got a little off track from my workout program. There were family commitments to attend to, and I got stuck with overtime at work. This caused me to slack off on my exercise routine, and eventually, there was no routine to speak of any longer.
I felt I had a good routine going up until all the unexpected things happened. At first, it was just a few missed workouts and then all of a sudden, the routine just didn't exist at all. I panicked because finding a motivation boost wasn't easy.
Starting all over again
What I did was to start with something easy. I did not attempt to get back on track where I had left off, for that would've been foolish. I did not want to go big with a vigorous weight session, so I did the sensible thing: I got outdoors and did light jogging plus brisk walking. It was a way to get myself moving.
Because I felt good after that despite its smallness, it succeeded at getting me to push on and get back to pursuing my healthy habits.
Committing to small pockets of exercise time
Because long workouts felt too much, I just decided to dedicate five minutes to working out each day. This was a lot less daunting compared to doing a full workout. You know what? Once I was up and going, it eventually became more effortless to keep going. Five minutes was enough to make me see where I could end up.
Then I got serious with a comeback workout
My comeback workout consisted of 12 weeks in total. For the first week till the fourth, there were 12 to 15 repetitions. On day one, I did cable pulldowns, cable rows, side lateral and front dumbbell raises, along with bent-over rear deltoid rows.
On day 2, I did triceps extensions and close-grip bench extensions. There were also barbell squats and lying leg curls along with dumbbell calf raises. Day 3 was about hammer curls and EZ-Bar Preacher curls. I also did incline bench presses and dumbbell flies.
Weeks 5 till 8 involved 8 to 10 reps of the exercises. Day 1 was for barbell rows and pull-ups along with seated dumbbell presses, cable seated rear lateral raises and side lateral raises. Day 2, I dedicated to barbell lunges, barbell calf raises and standing leg curls.
I worked on my biceps through triceps pushdowns and bench dips. For day 3, dumbbell flies and dips were for my chest, close-grip barbell shrugs worked for my tarps, and concentration curls plus chin ups were for my biceps.
From weeks nine till 12, there were 4 to 6 reps, with day one consisting of bent-over dumbbell rows and weighted pull ups for my back; side lateral raises, barbell military presses and bent-over rear deltoid rows for my shoulders.
On day 2, I did lying triceps extensions and triceps dips, along with stiff legged deadlifts, dumbbell calf raises and barbell squats for my legs. Day 3 consisted of hammer curls and barbell curls, dumbbell shrugs and dumbbell flies and weighted dips.
That comeback workout got me going because I was doing it all for myself and not anyone else. What do you know, I am back in 'fighting' form with my regular workout routine. I just decided to be more consistent with my workout routine so I can enjoy my music more.

Johannesburg - Managers of a platinum mine where police killed 34 striking workers signed a peace deal on Thursday with main labour unions but a breakaway union and the strikers themselves rejected it.That creates gloomy prospects for an accord that is supposed to open the way for wage negotiations to end the month-long strike. Suspicion and anger poison the atmosphere. Strikers on Wednesday threatened to kill workers and managers who ignore their strike.Strikers who have stopped operations at the Marikana mine say they are interested only in London - registered Lonmin [JSE:LON] PLC meeting their demand for a monthly take-home pay of R12 500 - about double what they now earn.Lonmin spokesperson Sue Vey said all was quiet early on Thursday at the Karee mineshaft where some 2 000 strikers and supporters on Wednesday threatened to kill those who don't join the month-long stoppage at the nearby Marikana mine. Neither mine has produced platinum for weeks. The Karee mineshaft is responsible for 68% of production at Lonmin, the world's third-largest platinum producer."The chances of warring parties imminently signing a peace agreement to end the violence at Lonmin's platinum mines seem slim," the mining Web site miningmx.com wrote late on Wednesday. "Even should the negotiation process lead to the signing of some agreement, it is not likely to transpire into a lasting solution."On 16 August, police who had vowed to end the strike shot and killed 34 miners, wounded another 78 and arrested 270 strikers. Police said they acted in self defence when they were attacked by miners armed mainly with home made machetes, clubs and spears.But local news reports quote survivors saying some miners were shot at close range as they tried to surrender, and write that autopsies show others were shot in the back as they attempted to run away from the barrage of police gunfire.Also on Thursday, a second batch of 102 arrested miners was released on a warning by a court. They were among 270 charged with the murders of their 34 colleagues killed by police - a bizarre twist which generated so much national outrage that prosecutors were forced to withdraw charges. Six wounded miners still being treated in the hospital remain in custody until they can appear in court.The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), South Africa's leading trade union which is close to political leaders, said on Thursday's accord "signals the good intentions of the participants to end the violence, threats and intimidation that has become a characteristic in the daily life of Marikana".It appealed for the breakaway Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) to come on board, adding "Not being part of the accord sends a wrong message to the workforce, a message of divisions and lack of common purpose".AMCU president Joseph Mathunjwa refused to comment, saying he will explain the union's reasons for not signing at a news conference on Friday.Union rivalry was at the root of the violence at Lonmin operations. Many of the strikers say neither union represented their interests so they sent separate representatives to the peace talks being brokered by the Department of Labor.They accuse NUM of cozying up to management and ignoring shop-floor interests to instead spearhead a faction supporting South African President Jacob Zuma's bid for re-election to lead the governing African National Congress at an elective congress in December. Should Zuma win he would be practically guaranteed a second term in power - but his chances have been seriously damaged by the police killings of striking miners.The Independent Police Investigative Directorate is investigating 34 murder and 78 attempted murder charges against officers involved in the mass shooting. It also is investigating complaints that more than 140 miners were beaten up in police custody by officers trying to get the names of strikers who hacked to death two policemen in a week of violence before 16 August in which 10 people were killed. Two mine security guards were burned alive in their vehicle and six officials of the national mineworkers union were killed.Zuma has ordered a judicial commission of inquiry with wide-ranging powers to investigate the police shootings as well as the part played by mine managers and the unions.

Let Lonmin please close. Management earned good money and will find new jobs soon because they are skilled. Let the miners rot at home and sponge off goverment. How many people with after school education behind their names earns 12500? You get paid: supply and demand. Any idiot from the street can do what you do with a weeks training. Let Goverment take over the mine, pay that wages and see how long us taxpayers has to bail out the mine.
I think those who didn't work in mining didn't understand this , they just talk . If u can go and do research u'll know better. They produce milllionz and get Peanuts and those who did not work hard get around R50.000 just imagine.
Mavis, understand this. I also have a bisiness. I take home more than my employees. I started by borrowing and if it failed I alone was in trouble. If I don't have money for rent,elect.....don't get product to sell, budget for increases ect... I alone are stuck with all that sh*t while the employee will always get their share or I am in trouble. Its al about who is shouldering responsibility and accountibility, not hard labour
This is a multinational coperation,it earns more it should pay more. Imagine a man taking home R4000. How will he educate and feed his family. This is ridiculous
Miners work hard and the company have more to dish out, please give our people what they deserve
Fire the lot and get cheap chinese miners. Ban unions. Prosecute those responsible for the R675 billion lost to corruption. Some of the cadres spend R12500 on lunch, just takes one nice steak and a bottle of Hennacy cognac. Problems gone.
I saw a report that a crew of 2 Aussie RDO's develop 200m a month. Here in SA a crew of 6 RDO's develop 80m a month in a good month. productivity is a major problem and if these lazy workers actually performed they would be able to earn much better wages.
industry needs to be mechanized in a big way.the less reliability on lazy workers the better.
its a matter of i want what others have but im not prepared to work for it.

Senator Specter contends legislation is necessary despite recent changes in the Department of Justice
In the last Congress, the Attorney Client Privilege Protection Act was introduced to bar federal attorneys in criminal and civil enforcement actions from requesting or using communications protected by the Attorney-Client privilege or materials covered by the work product doctrine. On November 13, 2007, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 3013, the Attorney-Client Privilege Protection Act. See 153 Cong. Rec. H13562-13564 (Nov. 13, 2007). The measure died in the Senate after the U.S. Department of Justice adopted new guidelines. See U.S. Attorney's Manual §§ 9-28.000 to 9-28.1300; see also Revised DOJ Corporate Prosecution Guidelines Issued.
On February 13, 2009, Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) introduced S. 445, the Attorney-Client Privilege Protection Act of 2009. He noted that while the Department of Justice made improvements to the corporate prosecution guidelines last August, they were insufficient since they could be modified by the department and failed to carry the force of law. In his remarks, Senator Specter noted:
"Like my previous bills, this bill will protect the sanctity of the attorney-client relationship by statutorily prohibiting Federal prosecutors and investigators across the executive branch from requesting waiver of attorney-client privilege and attorney work product protections in corporate investigations. The bill would similarly prohibit the government from conditioning charging decisions or any adverse treatment on an organization's payment of employee legal fees, invocation of the attorney-client privilege, or agreement to a joint defense agreement."154 Cong. Rec. S2331-S2332 (Feb. 13, 2009) (remarks of Senator Specter). The legislation has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
For discussion of the legislation in the last Congress, see:

Wallpaper samples are small (about 8 by 10 inches), so they don't give you a sense of what a finished room will look like. Most vendors offer helpful wall-size views of their wallpaper designs online. But nothing compares with the real thing, so if you're almost certain about a wallpaper pick, you might want to invest in just one roll and try it out: Using blue painter's tape on the back, hang from the very top of the wall to the floor. If you can place the paper opposite a mirror, you'll have two views, which will offer an even better feel for the final effect.
Wallpaper is pricey, and hanging requires skill. Unless you know what you're doing, it's best to hire a pro. Find one in your area through the National Guild of Professional Paperhangers (thepaperhangers.com) or, even better, through a personal referral. If you opt to do it yourself and something goes wrong (not to be a downer), call a professional for help immediately. Waiting makes things worse—and therefore more expensive to fix.
Installation prices vary depending on where you live and the specifications of the space, but for a 10-by-10-foot room with eight-foot ceilings, expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for labor (and expect the job to take one to two days). Most wallpaper is priced and sold in double rolls that are about 9 to 11 yards long. Your installer will tell you how many to purchase. For the room size above, you would need six to eight double rolls. Depending on the match—how the particular pattern lines up strip to strip—you may need more paper than you think. Your installer will take his best guess and might err on the side of more. This is because it's nearly impossible to know exactly how many rolls are needed until installation is in progress, and it could take weeks or months for an extra roll to arrive. Also, paper ordered from a new dye lot won't necessarily match the rolls you have.
If you have more than one room to paper, you can save a bit by doing those rooms at the same time (rather than, say, one now and one in six months). A chunk of the labor cost is related to setting up (see The Process), so twice the space probably won't mean twice the price.
This is a great way to enjoy the thrill of wallpaper without spending a lot. For the most impact, choose a wall with no windows and no doors, and paint the rest of the room the same color as the background of the paper. This makes the space feel cohesive and keeps the feature wall from seeming out of place.
Your installer will probably use an oil-based primer to prep the walls. If you've chosen an especially delicate paper, he may apply liner paper, which absorbs excess moisture and helps everything dry faster. Trimming the paper involves slicing off the selvages (the edges that have no pattern on them) with a single-edge razor. Some papers come pre-trimmed. Based on the paper, your installer will decide what type of adhesive to use. The two most common are a clay paste and a cellulose paste called "clear hang." To eliminate bubbles as the paper goes up, the installer will use a plastic smoother (picture a large version of a spackle knife) or a paintbrush. For the paper to cure properly, the room will need to be about 65 degrees Fahrenheit—extreme temperatures can have an adverse effect on drying. After 24 hours, you're free to rehang pictures and fully enjoy the space.
