I wasn't sure exactly what the Daily Post is trying to make of this challenge, but this is my take on it. It is one picture file, with two pictures side by side – the Parliament Building and the St. Stephen Basilica – in Budapest, Hungary. These are the two tallest buildings in Budapest, reaching the maximum height allowed in the city. It reflects the ongoing dialogue between the voice of religion and the voice of government. Both voices are important and they need to engage in an interplay of check and countercheck in order to hold each other accountable in looking after the welfare of the people. Both need each other, and both depend on each other for healthy existence. Once these two principles of society become antagonistic to each other, the culture is the one that suffers.
This is my entry to Daily Post Photo Challenge: Dialogue.

Author: William Tatum DO
With the recent development of new technology and practices in the field of ambulatory EEG (aEEG), the time is right for a practical reference on the application of aEEG in clinical practice. This authoritative guide to prolonged EEG recording outside the hospital or clinic is a valuable resource for anyone involved in long-term EEG monitoring and interpretation. Bridging the gap between routine scalp EEG and in-patient video EEG monitoring, aEEG has evolved to provide cost-effective, high-yield, high-tech recording for evaluation of epilepsy diagnoses, nonepileptic attacks, quantification of seizures or epileptiform burden, and other issues requiring extended EEG observation for paroxysmal neurological events in any environment.
Bringing together top experts from leading epilepsy centers, the book covers equipment, technical aspects of recording, instrumentation and polygraphic event monitoring, artifacts, clinical use in adult and pediatric patients, sleep recording, short-term and chronic ambulatory EEG, and reimbursement. The concluding chapter offers representative case presentations with relevant findings to further enhance the reader's understanding and implementation of key concepts.
This "start to stop" survey of current applications is essential reading for a wide range of clinicians practicing in the field of clinical neurophysiology and epilepsy management, whether seasoned or in training.

The Groundfish Forum is a trade association that currently represents 5 trawl companies that fish for flatfish such as rock sole, yellowfin sole, flathead sole, as well as Atka mackerel, Pacific Ocean Perch and Pacific cod in the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska. These companies own the majority of the H&G ("Head & Gut") vessels in the North Pacific. These vessels range from 105 to 295 feet in length and due to their size, they only perform heading and eviscerating of fish, (hence the name "Head and Gut") instead of processing fillets or surimi.
The Groundfish Forum was formed in 1996 to craft meaningful solutions to problems such as discards, incidental catches, and impact on habitat. Our solutions needed to be effective, while maintaining the efficiency and economic margins of our industry to the greatest degree possible. Groundfish Forum's mission is to inform state and local government officials of the contributions made by the H&G fleet to the economies of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. It has been critical that officials in the Pacific Northwest, especially Alaska, recognize the magnitude of the economic impact generated by our industry to also understand the potential loss of jobs, revenue, and the ripple effects on service and public sectors if forces controlling the fishery management system continue to promulgate regulations that needlessly attack our sector.
Groundfish Forum has also recognized the importance of resource conservation and continues to keep an open approach to working with regulators, government officials, and the public in order to keep our industry economically viable in the years to come.
In 2008, the H&G trawl sector was rationalized under Amendment 80 to the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Fishery Management Plan. To learn more about the H&G sector under this program, go to the Alaska Seafood Cooperative website.

As my cousin Kelly says, you can only speak from your own experience, and here is mine. I will continue to post my experience every International Woman's Day until we have gotten closer to gender equality. I write this for our sons and daughters. Yes, we can have chivalry AND equality AND sometimes boys can go first.
Here is my connection with International Women's day: While attending an event with the Dalai Lama, I met a man who was working at the Refugee Woman's Alliance booth, a little ironic in retrospect. He offered me a job doing web development maintenance on their website. Apparently none of the women there wanted to do it, it was really just text editing. One of the jobs he had me do was update the International Woman's Day page. I happily did the freelance work.
As you celebrate women today and your illusion of inequality, think how much you are contributing to it and how much men don't say a think as you call them sexist and they support your causes. When have you ever supported a man's cause? Well it's a man's world you say, but where does a man go when he needs support? He gets looked down upon if he goes to his friends. If you like watching guys throw a ball around, you have something to watch a couple nights a week. If you don't what are you left with? Name one organization for men. Try to name just one. Do you realize the inequality yet?
All of the behaviors you stereotype men for are either from the top 1% or from aggressive assholes. They aren't from the workhorse of the American Economy. I don't care if elite white males run the government. if you want to protest the government, don't villainize working class white males, that's not fair. When will woman stop racial profiling men? And when will they stop yelling inequality
when they are perpetrating the inequality on men?
And oh yes, please let's hear about the glass ceiling for the billionth time. The justification for every sexist, gender profiling stereotype women perpetrate on society. There are getting to be just as many female executives in companies these days as men. Why does it still happen? That is the company's business. If you don't like the company, don't work for them or don't do business with them. Half there business goes away, they probably have to close their doors. That's how capitalism works. What does a solution to this look like to you?
That day I attended the Dalai Lama event, he said "We don't come from the sky, we all come from our mothers, we all come from women". When you think about compassion, think about your mother's compassion for you. When you think about gender equality, stop thinking about what feminism or some other source tells you about men, look around you. Look at the men who have been of service and have gone largely unnoticed.
Do those men a favor, stop shoving labels at them. Maybe someday men will be allowed to have a day in their name and won't have been too conditioned by the phrase "men don't like to show their feelings" to enjoy themselves. The boys of our generation have a chance to not be conditioned by a society that blames them for everything. If you can look them in they eyes and say to yourself, "I won't let the world cheat you like your father was cheated", we've got a good start.

Great God! What have I turned into? What right have you people to clutter up my life, steal my time, probe my soul, suckle my thoughts, have me for your companion, confidant, and information bureau? What do you take me for? Am I an entertainer on salary, required every evening to play an intellectual farce under your stupid noses? Am I a slave, bought and paid for, to crawl on my belly in front of you idlers and lay at your feet all that I do and all that I know?

Seamless advanced technology meets stunning, emotional design Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Technology taken to new level
Detroit, Jan 14, 2008 - Three passionate designs combine with three advanced propulsion systems. The result: high-tech, innovative vehicles with alternative fuel choices … and exciting design and brand character.
Chrysler LLC's mission to be more environmentally responsible is significantly changing how we envision vehicles in our future portfolio. As the entire automotive industry has basically the same technology pool from which to draw, our design challenge remains similar to what it has always been: How do we distinguish Chrysler's future designs from the rest of the pack? Even in this environment, we must create emotional designs, and must offer vehicles that people will really want to own and drive.
So we have challenged ourselves to unleash our design passion – in combination with these future technologies and linked to the Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge brands for our 2008 concept vehicles.
Each of the technologies must be transparent to our customers and provide an exceptional driving experience. In addition, each technology must be optimally packaged in the vehicle to ensure uncompromised comfort and function.
The Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge concept vehicles for 2008 take advantage of the unique packaging and design opportunities realized by these advanced powertrain systems.
The all-new Chrysler ecoVoyager concept, Jeep Renegade concept and Dodge ZEO concept take advantage of the best of new technologies and couple them with the room, comfort, speed and style customers will not sacrifice – allowing potential customers to still feel good about their personal impact on the environment even when simply having fun.
In designing each of the three concepts for the 2008 North American International Auto Show, Chrysler designers studied various emerging and growing customer groups to overlay their needs and expectations with Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge brand values to develop the best overall fit. The result is an all-new passionate design concept for each of our three brands.

I'm going to preface this whole post by saying that its really just a selection of 'tube videos… I'm kinda running a one man show at the minute, as the homie P-Dilla isn't exactly 'online'.
I promise there's some goodness coming soon, also, we may have a new kid on the block dropping some knowledge at NOTR in the near future. stay tuned.
no goats were harmed, shit, i think they actually get off on falling over.
this got hyped up waaay too much, but the baby panda is pretty cute.
also, how ghetto is that panda enclosure? thats on some NY grimey shit.
i've never really been down with cats, maybe i just never had a good relationship with a pussy…


text: Ahem… Yes. Well. But how to exactly say it? Difficult. Even though I'm not the only one saying it. In fact, the news value here is that this is the thing that many people at esteemed levels of the media and technology business are saying to each other. It's the smart-money scuttlebutt. It hadn't even occurred to me until one particular blunt-speaking son-of-a-bitch in an exalted position said it to me. But as soon as he said it, I thought, what have I been thinking? I am, apparently, as susceptible to the illusion of the emperor's new clothes as anyone else.

Pay Per Click Advertising: Now & In 2015
The ubiquitous nature of Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising started with a healthy dose of skepticism. The new medium failed to impress many people after its introduction as an online advertising and marketing option in 1996.
As the years passed, acceptance and use became common, and today there are at least 4 top companies offering PPC services.
In 2013, the results from PPC were remarkable, to say the least. Online users tend to click on paid ads by as much as 64% compared to the 34% who choose to click on unpaid links. Most users click on paid ads not because they're shopping around, but because the ads look appealing and interesting. People are used to PPC by now, and jump at the chance to click on an ad that catches their interest.
But what exactly is PPC?
PPC is one way to advertise your goods or services. You get to place an ad on a search engine results page (SERP), and when someone clicks on your ad, that's when you pay your host. Of course, to get that valuable spot on a popular website. That's not easy because you really need to be knowledgeable of the PPC service's requirements to get the best results.
Still, it is worth all the work you put into creating a tempting and "clickable" ad. This is why there is the Ad Auction- a great solution for those who want top PPC results by getting in front of users on coveted websites.
The Ad Auction
The Ad Auction works something like this:
- It starts with a query by a user.
- There are bidders for ad space waiting to be featured. Bidders indicate how much they are willing to pay as well as a preferred keyword
- Google decides which bidder gets to put his or her ad on the page. The decision is based on the bid and the ad's quality score. Quality score is based on the relevance of your ad to the query and the person making the query.
- Bidder pays Google when the ad is clicked on. The amount to be paid will be based on the ad rank of the person second to you in the bidding divided by your quality score plus .01
Every month, auctions generate billions of dollars for PPC services like Google as well as for the advertisers. And it is important to note that bidders can't just try to outbid every other bidder just to get picked by default. PPC services don't work that way at all. The PPC service needs to make sure there is a chance the ad will be clicked. For example, Google will never pick an ad on snowshoes for a user querying about flip flops and who lives on a tropical island even if the advertiser for snowshoes is the top bidder.
Quickly, Does PPC Work For Everyone?
PPC works and this is obvious by the annual increase in companies getting involved in the PPC market. Spending has increased in 2014 after 83% of company executives and business owners decided they love the idea of advertising through PPC.
However, getting involved with PPC is not going to work if you just jump in cold. You have to consider at least 4 factors: Cost, Attribution, Relevance, and Creep Factor.
- Cost refers to being ready to bid the highest since bid amount is a factor that will be considered. This could turn out to be expensive unless you know how to prioritize your bids.
- Almost 58% of companies tend to use last click attribution, which isn't effective because it means you have no time, inclination or budget for PPC – and you're wasting a huge opportunity!
- Relevance starts with choosing the right keyword to bid on so you get to go on pages that will generate clicks for your business.
- Creep factor, i.e., don't stalk people who click on your ads. It's a big no-no as is using the data visitors provide you to bug them about your product. There has to be a limit to the number of times you use the cookies to track your visitors.

Mission Circle #265
Mission Circles are organized of Catholic men and women who, as missionaries in our parishes, band together and follow a program of spiritual and material assistance.
Good Shepherd Mission Circle No. 265 adopted our own Father Tom Cahill, Order of Miles Jesu, as the missionary who is working with the poorest of the poor in the suburbs of Bombay, (now known as Mumbai) Sirsi, Karnataka, India. Many of the unfortunate children appeared in the film Slumdog Millionaire.
The Mission Circle group plans an event twice a year to financially assist this work: 1) Thanksgiving Pumpkin Bread Sale in the Fall and 2) The English High Tea in the Spring.

The Philips Dictation Recorder for BlackBerry 10 is a real gem of application, both for business users and for 'normal' folk that just want to record voice notes and it won't cost you a penny to download.
As you would expect from a BlackBerry 10 app, the user interface is simple to use and navigate, along with looking pretty sweet on a black background. Once you launch the app you will be taken by default to the dictation page. Here you'll see four large tabs on-screen allowing for quick and easy recording, playback and forward/back controls.
Once a recording has been made you can then utilize the tabs at the base of the display to edit, send or prioritize the recording. Jump into edit and there are a range of things that can be changed - from the name of the file, to attaching an image from your gallery to it. Once you are happy with the changes you just press the 'save' tab and you're done.
Press 'Send' and you'll be able to share your file via email. You're default email account will open, but you can use the drop down box to switch email addresses if you desire.
The tab at the bottom left of the screen will let you dive into any recordings you have as drafts, or view sent items as well as a list of all. Up until this point everything is pretty simple, but open up the settings and there is even more to offer.
The app works in conjunction with the Philips SpeechExec Mobile Server to manage secure dictation file delivery. This is clearly only going to be an option for large companies as there will be a cost involved, but for some people this could be a fantastic way of making your business for effective. Once an audio file is transferred to Philips SpeechExec Mobile Server, it is sent automatically to the right transcription workstation within your company network. The software is location specific, but to find out more click here.
Features include:
- The Philips dictation recorder for BlackBerry offers editing functions such as insert, overwrite and append for professional recording control
- Priority setting for getting urgent jobs processed first
- A clear user interface intuitively guides you through the dictation and download process
- Easy-to-use touch screen control for intuitive operation
- File encryption for maximum security
- Filter function to find relevant dictations faster
Philips Dictation Recorder is available for all BlackBerry 10 smartphone and is free to download - spot on.

Snapshots of Ecopoiesis Summary
Tyler and Diane rent a room in Cocoa Beach, waiting for Jason to join them on the following day. They sit on the hotel's balcony and discuss their respective activities during the past few years. Tyler explains that the plan to colonize Mars is a case of ecopoiesis, a term coined by a scientist in 1990 to refer to the activity of creating a biosphere where none exists. The plan uses the time difference created by the Spin to allow a relatively quick evolution on Mars. After bombarding its surface with living seeds that will eventually create a biosphere, the humans would send volunteers to colonize the newly created environment and start a civilization of their own.
Diane says that the NK religion imploded after the failure of the hedonist movement and the many cases of AIDS and drug abuse...

Facilitating the protection and restoration of species and ecosystems at risk on BC's South Coast
Facilitating the protection and restoration of species and ecosystems at risk on BC's South Coast
Since 2013 the SCCP has been working to assist local governments across 5 Regional Districts on the South Coast. While local governments have many of the tools needed to achieve protection for species at risk, those that work to achieve such actions are few. The reason for this is most often due to challenges at the political level. A Pilot Partnership for Integrating Species and Ecosystems at Risk into Sustainable Land Use was initiated with a core group of local government partners in June 2013 to tackle this issue. Resources developed through this evolving partnerhsip can be found in the "Resources" section at the bottom of this page.
The South Coast is the first region to implement actions that integrate recommendations from the discussion paper Working Together to Protect Species at Risk: Strategies Recommended by Local Government to Improve Conservation on Municipal, Regional and Private Lands in British Columbia developed by the provincial Species and Ecosystems at Risk and Local Governments Working Group (SEAR LGWG).
A Growing Toolkit: The BC Ministry of Environment's Develop with Care and Best Management Practices (BMPs) series provides a foundational resource for local governments when addressing a range of development issues. Local governments should also add the updated Green Bylaws Toolkit to the suite of guidance resources for land use planning. The SCCP has also looked to a number of local government partners as part of compiling progressive bylaws and planning tools made for the South Coast/Coast region. Examples include the City of Surrey's Sensitive Ecosystem Development Permit Area (SEDPA) Bylaw and District of Saanich's Environmental Development Permitting Area Bylaw and the Resort Municipality of Whistler's Invasive Species Bylaw.
For South Coast/Coast Region municipalities looking for resources to protect and restore critical habitat on their own lands (e.g. parks or rights of way), or to suggest to developers and landowners should check out the SCCP's Diversity by Design Toolkit and complementary resources developed by The Stewardship Centre of BC, Habitat Acquisition Trust and Garry Oak Ecosystem Recovery Team.
One of our most recent publications is the "SARA 101" brochure for local governments to share with the public. The SCCP also hosts ongoing webinars to provide an interactive online forum on timely and relevant issues and resources around species at risk and land use.
To support our work with local governments the SCCP employs a social enterprise model (SEM) when undertaking policy reviews and or developing locally relevant, meaningful language and approaches for municiplaities to address SARA responsibilities within their jurisdiction. To date the SCCP has worked with the District of West Vancouver, District of Squamish, Resort Municipality of Whistler and Sunshine Coast Regional District as well as providing guidance to a range of municipalities as they begin the necessary steps to address protecting species at risk and their habitat.
The SCCP provides specialized training workshops with an accredited professional on SEAR management and best practices for staff [and interested elected officials]. The session modules cover an introduction to SARA, municipal responsibilities, how to identify priority South Coast species at risk and their critical habitat attributes and approaches for protecting and recovering species at risk and their habitat.
To find out how we can assist your municipality please see our SCCP Support for Local Governments: Policy development and operational training services guide below or contact the SCCP.
Working with the SCCP provides a cost effective approach for local governments to benefit from the SCCP's expertise and assistance in dealing with species at risk and critical habitat conservation. Ultimately the goal is to have a consistent and committed approach to integrating species and ecosystems at risk in land use policies and practices.
Aside from local governments, the Real Estate Foundation and Ducks Unlimited Canada, the SCCP has collaborated with other ENGO's on developing resources for local governments. The BC Wetlands Federation has been working on a complementary process with local governments. The outcomes of their work from 2013 can be access here.
The SCCP would like to acknowledge the support and investment of the Real Estate Foundation of British Columbia and Ducks Unlimited Canada for supporting the SCCP in building the foundational partnerships that have enabled the SCCP to move forward in developing this unique model for working with local governments on SEAR responsibilities.
The Real Estate Foundation's Mission: The Real Estate Foundation transforms land use attitudes and practices through innovation, stewardship, and learning.
Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is the leader in wetland conservation. Using sound science, we deliver on-the-ground habitat conservation projects, research, education programs and public policy work to conserve, restore and manage wetlands.

TONY DODSON has been handed an international incentive to come through his ninth professional outing at Everton Park Sports Centre on Tuesday night.
The Garston supermiddleweight heads into a scheduled six-rounder with Midlander Paul Wesley knowing victory will assure him of his first paid bout outside of Britain.
Manager Barry Hearn is predicting a productive season for the 21-year-old and has already included Dodson to appear on a show in Budapest on October 13.
"I have big plans for Tony Dodson this season," said Hearn. "This is going to be a big year for him. His training is going well and he really wants to make his mark and achieve his ambitions."
Birmingham veteran Wesley will be only Dodson's second fight this year - he outpointed cruiserweight Paul Bonson in February - and the Garston "Warrior" is determined to get more active through the new campaign.
Tough sparring sessions with WBF champions Steve Roberts and Runcorn's Robin Reid followed his summer break and Dodson has enjoyed the chance to mature his craft among world-class operators.
He said: "The sparring has been spot on. To be honest I went down to London to spar with Roberts a little apprehensive. Although he's a weight below he's 26-0 undefeated and rated number six in the world. He's quality, but being truthful I impressed myself.
"I felt strong sparring
By NICK PEET with him, I feel I have matured a lot over the past few months. Then I was back home with Robin.
"Sparring with him is different class. He's been to the very top of this game and wore the t-shirt. He teaches me things in the ring that money could not buy and has helped me develop as a boxer."
With the prospect of a working holiday to Hungary on the horizon, you could see how some boxers may lose their concentration, but Dodson is 100 per cent focused on Tuesday night and Paul Wesley.
"People will see a different Tony Dodson at Everton Park," he promised. "My weight now is 12 stone four pounds, a pound off the fight limit, and I am feeling great. On Tuesday night I'm going to make a lot of people stand up and take notice.
"This is it now. Time to go to work and put the last 18 months behind me. Tuesday night is the stepping stone to my destiny."
Another Merseysider hoping to ignite a winning formula for the approaching campaign is popular Birkenhead super-feather Jamie McKeever.
"Jambo" picked up a couple of defeats last term, then struggled with depression at his training base in Belfast, forcing him to return home.
Revitalised and hungry for success, McKeever has now teamed up with former mentor Tony Carroll, based at Everton Red Triangle, and says he feels better than ever.
Tuesday's opponent also has three defeats on his record and will come to the ring with a point to prove, but the fight is a must-win affair for McKeever, who has found himself slipping away from the division's top ten operators during the summer.
Tickets for Tuesday's Everton Park show (#20) are on sale from the venue or by calling 07909 810957.

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
"Would you like a glass of champagne?"
I'm standing there, slack-jawed, in the doorway of a dressing room marked "SHIRLEY," with none other than Shirley Manson, lead singer of the band Garbage, standing before me. She's holding a bottle of Moët Chandon rosé. The pink champagne compliments her hot pink tights, which is the only pop of color in between these insane black platform wedges, black skirt and black leather jacket.
I'm seriously dying. Like, my life is flashing before my eyes.
I've met a ton of celebrities (OH, YOU KNOW), but seeing as I'm totally self-obsessed, I'm rarely star struck by anyone because I'm too busy basking in my own shine. With the exception of when I met Gaga, when I saw Kanye totally ruin Taylor's moment at the 2009 VMAs, and the time Beyonce's bodyguard almost broke my foot, I rarely think meeting anyone is a big deal. But this is Shirley Manson. This is a big deal.
"Sure!" I reply, taking a flute of champagne.
I'm so excited to interview her that I forget that champagne is the one thing that I absolutely do not drink, because it makes me go clinically insane. I worry for a second that I'm sabotaging my own interview. But a glass of champagne with a rock star? Don't mind if I do.
"I don't usually have champagne before shows, this isn't a normal thing. But it's a home show so this is a special night. Cheers."
Garbage started out in Madison, Wisconsin, nearly 20 years ago and went on to achieve massive success worldwide, so every time the play a venue here, it's like a homecoming. They've been out on a world tour promoting their latest record "Not Your Kind Of People," after a seven-year hiatus. The album is incredible and it solidifies their unwavering place in rock history.
"I really like what you're wearing!" she tells me.
"Thanks!" I tell her, thinking to myself, No one else does. I'm wearing a beat up AC/DC T-shirt that I always try to pass off as vintage when I really got it at H&M last spring, a pair of motorcycle leggings, which is a new thing that I'm trying to make happen, and a fresh pair of Jordans. I figured if I was really going to go for it on the fashion front, I might as well do it in front of Shirley.
"Who are those by?" She asks, gesturing to my leggings.
BALENCIAGA, I want to lie. "They're just from Urban Outfitters."
Shirley: Oh, and our nails are the exact same color!
Tynan: I mixed this color to match the one you were wearing last time I saw you guys play live. I know that you love an orange nail. When I saw you in August, I could see your nails glow from like thirty feet away.
S: Is that true? Did I have neon nails then? God, I'm good.
[At this point I spill a bit of champagne on the floor. I am mortified, thinking the champagne-crazy is already setting in. I try to clean it up, but Shirley insists on cleaning it herself. Am I not THE ABSOLUTE WORST?)
S: So you're with Jane, yea?
T: I'm with Jane!
S: I love Jane.
T: Have you met her?
S: I haven't, but she was one of the first people who gave me a cover in America, so of course she has a special place in my heart.
T: I love her. And I love, love your new record "Not Your Kind of People" -- I think it's wonderful. You've been on the road with it for a while now, how does it feel to be back in the swing of things, back out touring and performing?
S: It feels, triumphant, I have to say, because not many women my age have ever been able to get back up from basically a stand still. So I feel victorious.
T: How does it feel to be back on the road as an adult? You're not new to this, it isn't your first album. Is it more grueling, is it more fun?
S: I think it's -- well, let me preface it with: Clearly I was built to do this, I've done it for a long time, I think I've canceled one show in a career that's lasted 30 years. So obviously I'm meant to do this. Physically and mentally, I don't find it very tough. It's probably more fun now that I'm older, I'm not caught up in the craziness that I think maybe younger women are. I'm grateful that when I first came out, I was older. When Garbage was brand new, I was almost 30, so I wasn't a baby. I'm very grateful for that because I think I had just a little bit more concrete under my feet.
I look at some of the younger artists right now, and you hear about them, you know, canceling tours or they've got problems with their voice or they're exhausted, they collapse. I don't know, there's a myriad of things. I think a lot of it has to do with the Internet's presence in their lives, because trying to do what we do is kind of tough, but if you love it then it's not really that hard.
But I think that for young people who are constantly on Facebook and using the Internet, reading about themselves, seeing pictures of themselves everywhere, I think that really contributes to the stress. So because I'm older, I don't feel that same stress because I just don't read it.
T: That was actually my next question. How do you think social media affects the music industry now, whereas when you started, there was no Facebook or Twitter? Do you think it's a bonus, or do you think it deters?
S: It's a double-edged sword. I think there's a lot of great things that come with it, but I also think that it creates a lot of stress for artists or for anybody in the public eye I think it's very difficult not to go to the Internet for positive affirmation. And of course, that's a driving force behind a lot of artists, they're seeking something to fill a hole and so the temptation to go to the Internet and find positive affirmation is, it's like a drug, you know? But then of course once you go there, what do you find? You find every troll under the sun has something negative to say. It's very easy to be critical.
T: Especially from behind a keyboard.
S: Yes, it's very easy to be anonymous. To give an anonymous critique is so fucking easy. And to actually do something, to risk something is difficult.
T: Right. What you're doing is way harder.
S: Well, is certainly harder than sitting behind a keyboard and being nasty about people (laughs).
T: What do you think about the way that younger artists are expected to be not just an artist, but more of a brand? First comes the album, then comes the fragrance and then the clothing line and then the reality show. Do you look think it can be a good thing, or do you think it distracts?
S: I don't know, to be honest. I'm sure some people handle it very, very well. I know Gwen Stefani for instance, can handle it all, and handle it gracefully. She still can focus on being an artist and being a mother and being a CEO of a brand. I don't know that everyone has that same talent.
I think if you are hands on, like someone like Gwen is, then sure that's a natural progression of who you are and what your interests are. But I see a lot of young women just being sort of handled by people who are probably making a percentage of the profit, and the branding isn't necessarily authentic to who they are. And that, I think, is destructive and feels very phony to me and doesn't feel artistic in any way, shape, or form. It feels like corporate business to me, and I always wanted to be in music because it was the opposite.
T: It's funny you mention Gwen because I was going to ask you about her. I love Gwen Stefani.
S: I knew you would.
T: No Doubt returned from their hiatus in 2012 as well, and I've seen footage of you performing with her, which is incredible. Was it cool to be back on the charts with her? Do you know her personally?
S: I do know her personally, yeah. Our careers broke out at the same time and we met on the festival circuit. We were the only two women on the bill and so of course we gravitated to one another. She'd be like, "I like your style," and I'd be like "I like YOUR style." We sort of had a girl fest, a love fest, and it's been amazing to watch her career explode into the stratosphere. She's an amazing pop star and a lovely person and manages to straddle both, being a massive star and also being cool in the streets. She's got it all.
T: I know that you're very influenced by Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders and Debbie Harry and Patti Smith, but now I feel like you're the one doing the influencing. What do you want your legacy to be?
S: I don't know if I even think in those terms. The longer I continue to have a career, I think it is inspiring for young women, or anybody for that matter. I was reading an obituary about Robert Ebert and he had this amazing quote that, I think it was Perez Hilton, funnily enough, ran on his site, which was that Robert realized far too late in life that our job really is to bring joy to other people, he wished he'd known that earlier in his life.
I think that's something that I've suddenly realized that if I can make somebody feel good, or bring them comfort, or encourage them to pick up a guitar or sing into a microphone, or better yet use their words to speak up and speak out then, I think that's fuckin' rad. (laughs)
T: You're a married woman, correct? You were married in 2010. How is life on the road? Your husband is in the industry, right? He's a sound engineer?
S: Yeah, he travels with me all the time, so yeah, I'm in a very, very privileged and weird position of not having to be away from my family, which I'm sure has played a large role in the fact that I've had a long career, because I'm not having to deal with that horrific pressure.
T: When Garbage is on tour, how do you travel? Is it just the bus with you and the dudes or are you flown around?
S: Full of me and the dudes! We fly sometimes, we bus a lot, we stay in hotels, it just depends.
T: I don't want to seem reductive by talking to such a big rock star about what she's wearing, but you do have this look that, no matter if it's your photos in Lucky magazine last year or when you were recently on the cover of NYLON, which was insane, whether it was elegant or more edgy, it was all so…Shirley Manson. You're so iconic in that way, nobody else looks like you. What are you inspired by and how do you put that look together
S: People have talked a lot about my style throughout my entire career, and I feel like "Wow" because I don't really think about it that much. I know what I like, and I've been lucky in the last few years to have been bequeathed amazing gifts from really talented designers. I get so spoiled that way, and I also work with a really talented stylist.
But I like movies and painting and art, a lot of fine art, without sounding too pretentious. I always want to look like somebody in a painting, or I want to look like Gloria Swanson in "Sunset Boulevard." I've always got ideas of who I want to look like. I used to work in clothing retail when I was younger so I've always been fascinated by how fashion partners well with music.
When I was a kid, probably about your age, all the rock stars were incredible, they were like, freaks of nature. They wore freaky, weird shit that people wouldn't wear in the street. Like David Bowie, Siousxie and the Banshees, they all had their own look, they were so unique, so that has always been inspiring to me.
T: Aaand, this is the last one! Whether you're at home or on the road, what is your go-to beauty product?
S: Oh my god, I've got so many. Um, well this is my current favorite, because this makes you smell like Cleopatra. You can use it on your hair, use it on your lips, use it all over your body. I'm obsessed with it.
What else? Oh, I can't live without hairspray. The greatest of all products.
T: It's good for that topknot!
S: Fucking RIGHT! Oh, and my Lady D MAC lipstick. I can't live without it. I try on all shades and end up smearing them off and putting my Lady Danger back on.
T: That's one of Rihanna's favorites.
S: Is it really?! (gasps) Oh, my god, that's hot.
T: Well, I don't want to take up too much more of your time, I know you've got a show to do. Thank you so much, and kick ass tonight.
S: It was a pleasure. Thank you!
T: See you soon!
Isn't she just EVERYTHING. So warm, so funny, so genuine, and so COOL. I couldn't believe I had the chance to sit down with her. Even when I was transcribing the interview, I thought to myself, "God, did that really happen?"
If you haven't grabbed Garbage's new record "Not Your Kind Of People" yet, you need to go out and do that. People keep saying, "It's so good to have Garbage back," but this album proves that they never left.
Tynan is still reeling on Twitter: @TynanBuck.

As campaigning came to a close in Madhya Pradesh on Saturday ahead of Mondays polls,the Congress partys hopes were clear on the posters across this region: Jan jan ki yahi pukaar,mukhya mantri Jyotiraditya Scindia abki baar (The call everywhere is for Jyotiraditya Scindia as Chief Minister).
The 42-year-old Guna MP has emerged as the main challenger to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan,who is seeking to beat 10 years of anti-incumbency by reminding people of the reign of Shreeman Bantadhaar Digvijaya Singh marked by potholes,power outages,firing on farmers and so on.
Criticising the BJPs strategy to target Digvijaya,Scindia,in an interview to The Sunday Express,said,You (Chouhan) have been there for 10 years. Talk about yourself. You spend Rs 300 crore on ad campaigns on Atal Jyoti Abhiyan. Where is the electricity? There are cases against 13 ministers but not one resignation,not one chargesheet,not one FIR.
As for Chouhans attempt to portray himself as a farmers son through his Mama versus Maharaj slogans,Scindia said,You said it. That is what it is ex-royal. We are in the 21st century. I had the honour of studying in good institutions. I worked for a living for seven years as a banker… As for my family background,of course,I am proud of my family legacy of public service. If I go back to the history of my family,they were farmers and sons of the soil. They were Patels (village heads) of Kanekha village in Satara district of Maharashtra. That was how my family started,and worked hard to later join the Maratha army. They rose through the ranks and that is the history of hard work,not of what many would believe as samantwaad.
Appointed Congress campaign committee chief in September,Scindia criss-crossed the state,addressing about 135 public meetings and rallies. What,however,is the talk of the town here are his two meetings in favour of the Congress candidate contesting against his aunt Yashodhara Raje in Shivpuri. Asked whether he had broken any unwritten Scindia family code of not campaigning against a family member,Jyotiraditya said,I am a Congress worker. I must do what my job as Campaign committee chief entails. Thats what I did.
Yashodhara told The Sunday Express: In my parliamentary elections also,he (Jyotiraditya) had campaigned against me. I have not gone to his Guna parliamentary constituency though. He must have his compulsions. So be it.
While the BJPs campaign strategy centred around Chouhan as a mascot of development,integrity and probity in public life,the Congress sought to shift the focus to local issues and local candidates.
After an impressive three-hour roadshow in the city,which coincided with Narendra Modis rally there,as Scinida reached the INTUC ground at Azeera on Thursday evening,he targeted the Chouhan governments development claims. Swarnam Madhya Pradesh,jahan Prof Sabharwal ki hatya,Dronacharya ki hatya,ABVP ke students ne kar di…Swarnam Madhya Pradesh jahan mining mafia ne IPS officer ka sar tractor se kuchal diya…Swarnam Mahya Pradesh jahan (RTI activist) Sheela Masood ki hatya ho… He used Swarnam Madhya Pradesh mockingly over 50 times in his 45-minute speech.
I am not an astrologer but I believe the Congress will form the government. Chouhan has failed to deliver on the promises he made to the people. You go and check yourself what development they have done. Its total hogwash, said Scindia. While many of his party colleagues also predict a close finish,the common refrain is that the Congress may have started too late. Scindia himself was appointed campaign committee chief only in September.
Asked about his projection as the partys CM candidate,he said,I am very clear. People always accused my father of being un-ambitious. I also believe in focusing on the responsibility entrusted to me by my party leadership and I dont think beyond that. My responsibility is to make sure that we work as a team and what happens after that is anybodys guess. My pursuit in life is to ensure development and well-being of people and not positioning for myself.

SOMERS, N.Y. -- With winter finally in the rearview mirror, S.R. Dog Training in Somers is reminding residents of the new dangers posed to dogs in the warmer weather.
Not all plants are animal friendly. If your dog ingests just a small amount of these common plants, it can lead to serious health issues. Just a few potentially dangerous plants are azalea, bittersweet, crocus, day lily, ferns, lily of the valley, morning glory, tiger lily, and tulip.
Adding fertilizer to grow grass/plants, and pesticides to kill off unwanted bugs and weeds can pose a significant health concern for pets. The safest option is to forgo using any of these products in your yard. If that's not possible, seek out pet safe options when available.
Most dogs are drawn to sticks in the yard. Tree branches are not designed to act as chew toys. As a result, they can splinter/break, cut a dog's mouth/throat and cause a severe choking hazard. Instead of sticks, use suitable toys as an outlet for your dog. Dog toys include: A Frisbee, tug toy, squeaky toy or ball.
Spring can cause allergies in pets, just as much as it does in humans. Common allergens for dogs include flowering trees, dandelions, tulips, insects, dust and mold. Allergy symptoms can manifest themselves in the form of itching, coughing, sneezing, flaky skin or extra oily coat. Keep an eye out for these symptoms in order to help ease your dog's discomfort.
If you suspect your dog has been exposed to any health hazard, do not wait. Immediately contact a veterinarian for professional medical attention.
Prevention is always the best medicine. Whenever possible, take proactive steps to help prevent health issues for your dog.

CANBERRA (Reuters) - The sinking of a second refugee boat between Indonesia and Australia's Christmas Island in less than a week prompted on Wednesday Australia's prime minister to try to revive a people-swap deal with Malaysia and end an impasse on asylum seekers.
More than 120 people were rescued and up to 10 were missing after a crowded boat sank on Wednesday in the Indian Ocean on its way to Australia, less than a week after about 90 asylum seekers died when their boat sank in the same area.
The latest sinking prompted Prime Minister Julia Gillard to suspended parliamentary business to debate compromise laws which will revive her Malaysian agreement and allow for an opposition plan to process asylum seekers on the Pacific island nation of Nauru.
"In view of these events and in view of the events of last week, I want to say to the parliament now most sincerely that I believe the time for the party divide on this issue is at an end," Gillard told parliament.
Gillard has an agreement with Malaysia to send 800 asylum seekers to Malaysia to have their claims assessed, in return for accepting 4,000 asylum seekers who are found to be genuine refugees.
The conservative opposition, however, has opposed the Malaysian option because Malaysia has not signed the U.N. refugee convention.
Refugee policy and border protection are a hot-button issue in Australia, despite the fact the country only receives a small number of the world's asylum seekers each year.
The U.N. refugee agency said Australia received 11,800 claims for asylum in 2011, compared with 441,000 claims globally, with 327,000 of those claims in Europe.
This year, more than 50 boats carrying more than 4,000 asylum seekers have been detected by Australian authorities.
Gillard said 123 people had been rescued from the latest boat, which could have been carrying up to 133 people.
Australia's Maritime Safety Authority released a photograph of the boat before it capsized which showed a heavily crowded vessel, which looks like it is made of timber. The boat was about 200 km (125 miles) north of remote Christmas Island and 185 km (115 miles) south of Indonesia.
The waters between Indonesia and Christmas Island are a common route for asylum seekers, who transit through Indonesia with the help of people smugglers.
The trip is often dangerous. In December 2011, as many as 200 people died when an overcrowded boat sank off the coast of East Java. In 2010, 50 asylum seekers died when their boat was thrown onto rocks at Christmas Island.
In 2001, a crowded boat known as the SIEV X sank on its way to Australia with the loss of 350 lives.

Over 2000 hours of energy wasted per year from standby
2 Comments »
We all need to be mindful of the phantom user. These are the household or office appliances that are draining energy when no one is using them. What is the answer? It is very simple. It is called the "5 Minute Campaign"(service marked). It is something I came up with and that I practice in my business and home. I spend the last five minutes of the day before I leave the office and bedtime turning off or unplugging appliances that will drain energy. This simple practice has saved me on my utilities. Who doesn't have 5 minutes to save the environment? I know I do. What about you?

The Carrera trim fueled by a 3.4-liter motor can rupture a 100 Kmph stamp in 4.8 seconds and accomplish a top pace of 289 Kmph. The Cabriolet trim can achieve a greatest rate of 286 Kmph, while softening the 100 Kmph hindrance up 5.0 seconds. The Carrera 4 trim can accomplish 285 kmph and it can quicken from 0 to 100 in only 4.9 seconds. The Carrera 4 Cabriolet trim can zoom towards 100 Kmph in minor 5.1 seconds and can go up to 282 Kmph . Then again, the Carrera S trim can break 100 Kmph stamp in 4.5 seconds and can accomplish a greatest pace of 304 Kmph. The 4S trim can go from 0-100 Kmph from a halt in around 4.5 seconds and can zoom towards a greatest rate 299 Kmph. Both the 4S and S Cabriolet variations can quicken towards 100 Kmph mark from a stop in 4.7 seconds and can accomplish a most extreme velocity of 301 and 296 Kmph individually.

I barely finished and published my MorphOS 2.3 review for OSNews, and here we have the release of MorphOS 2.4. The biggest improvement, if you could call it that, is the one thing a lot of people have been waiting for: MorphOS 2.4 includes support for the entire range of PowerPC G4 Mac Mini computers from Apple.

Regional Pricing
by wonea on Wed 14th Oct 2009 08:17 UTC
Although I will be paying the price for MorphOS, I do think they should offer regional pricing. The Euro is not what it was against the pound, and I would prefer paying in my own currency. Aye, the British should stop being stubborn and enter the Euro zone. Anyway, how about some pricing for each market? Dollars, Pounds, and Euros. That would help things immensely.
Also the guy think people will just run OS X, I've already got access to three OS X machines. I don't need another! MorphOS is much more interesting.......

Value yourself and your time. How much are you worth? If your answer isn't "incalculable," you have a lot to reflect on. The real beauty is that everyone's value is incalculable – it is just that most people don't know it yet.
What does it mean to value yourself? That your time is worth money? That you have something great to contribute? That you can't concern yourself with tasks that are not your interest? Any of these could be an answer. Ever since I was a child, I knew what my natural talents were. I couldn't exactly put words to them, but I knew what they were. As we grow up, the world and social pressure attempt to bury our subconscious self-esteem. We are worth only as much as we put into someone else's "better" venture, be it a company, a boss, a spouse, whatever. Suddenly we are stuck in a rat race that we only just fell into and wonder what happened.
I am a firm believer in the perfect harmony of the universe. Everything works as it should and there is nothing right or wrong about it. We are hands of the universe, we are here to create and harmonize with the spirit of the times. All such notions of "truth" are invalidated as soon as someone notices them.
What are your natural fortés? Do you acknowledge them? Even better, do you use them? Do you feel at certain times of the day like what you just did was easy, effortless, fun, and satisfying? That is one of your natural fortés, and it is a powerful sign to follow. Don't fear its power, instead, say yes to it and use it. Realize that no one else born on this earth has the same combination of talents that you do. Your job is to use them and to use them creatively. You have nothing or no one to catch up to because even while you may have great ideas only to find out someone else had the same one before and maybe patented it, there is no one else that can do it like you.
You walk your own walk, even if it might be in the same direction as others. Instead of feeling crowded by them, feel kinship and community.
Just remember, the more you believe your time is worth, the more worth will come to your life.

"No guarantee that result will be the same as it might vary from one individual to another"
If you want to trim down and reduce your waistline, a healthy lifestyle consisting of regular exercise and a balanced diet can do wonders for you. However, there often comes a point where your body starts to slow down in terms of the visible progress and it becomes harder for you to lose the weight that you need in order to trim down further.
If you are looking for a solution to your problems, you might want to consider having a tummy tuck done.
What is a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgery that is designed to remove extra fat and skin around the abdomen area, and tightening the muscle tissue along the abdominal wall.
There are two variations of abdominoplasty applied in the medical field today – complete and partial. The complete variation involves opening the abdomen and surgically shaping the adjoining skin, tissue, and muscle in order to achieve the desired results. On the other hand, the partial variation is the process of removing the fatty formations and skin that have settled below the navel area only.
This procedure is the perfect solution for people who are dealing with loose skin hanging around their middle on their way to having a flat abdomen.
Who qualifies for the procedure?
The procedure is considered as a final resort for people who on top of heaving a loose abdomen skin are having difficulty trying to shed away the few remaining pounds that stubbornly refuse to be burnt away by exercise and diet. If you are still in the process of burning a considerable amount of fat away, this procedure is not applicable to you.
Additionally, it is important to note that abdominoplasty is a major surgery, which means the emergence of a scar is a very real possibility. If you are conscious about the appearance of a post-surgery scar, you may consult your doctor about its placement.
Contact us to schedule a consultation
If you are seriously considering undergoing abdominoplasty in Dubai, or you are interested in other cosmetic procedures that will complement abdominoplasty, such as a breast augmentation, please feel free to get in touch with us today. We will gladly schedule you for a consultation with Dr. Kayle.

Sat 10 Jan 2009 in San Francisco, California:
On Bancroft Way in Berkeley, between California and Spaulding.
The Meetup[edit]
"Once upon a time, eight intrepid explorers converged on a spot in the mysterious forest of the City of Berkeley..." ...or so David's opening round of Once Upon A Time began.
The eight intrepid explorers were (apologies for name misspellings):
- Darcy
- Ping
- David
- Indy
- Megan
- Pier
- Jim
- Martha
| Darcy and Megan earned the Bicycle geohash achievement
Although none of us had actually brought a GPS, several of us checked Google Maps on our phones and established that the white line visible in the satellite view was the white balustrade next to the steps:
After about half an hour noodling around the actual geohash, we left a piece of paper explaining that 37.865958 -122.279772 had been relocated to a park at California and Delaware (about six blocks/half a mile north). Since we left the paper anchored in the mouth of a trash can, we're hoping it did become rubbish after we left!
At the park, we ate bread and cheese and apple (provided by Ping and David) and played a couple rounds of Once Upon A Time. Then the sun went down, and we went across the street to the house of Pier's friend who by sheer coincidence of the universe (or at least of the stock market) was hosting a board game afternoon.
| Seven intrepid explorers (we lost one, possibly to an ogre from another kingdom) earned the Picnic achievement
Planning Info[edit]
(Copied from the googlegroup)
- Darcy says: I'll totally be at the Saturday SF/Berkeley spot!
- Treiza says: Just joined, and I'll be there! and A friend of mine is having people over to play games just a few blocks away that day, actually. All xkcd-type folks... perhaps I'll try to drag a few along. We can adjourn there, if anyone else is interested.
- Elizabeth says: Oh hey, I could stop by that one too. But not until 5:30 at the earliest (I'll be at work until 5:15).

We believe there is only one real God who made the universe and all that is in it. He is a spiritual being that exists in a tri-unity we understand as: The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. It is a very complicated and mysterious concept but we can somewhat visualize it like water: it can exist as a liquid, a solid (ice) and a gas but it is all one substance.
Not three gods, one God.
We believe that God loves people, so God became a man, by a miraculous virgin birth – what better way to really communicate with us than to come down to our level?
The God-man, Jesus, is completely God in the flesh but totally human too. Jesus lived a perfect life and then gave up His life as a payment for our bad choices, our sins, paving the way so that anyone who puts their trust in Him can have a real relationship directly with God.
The evil things we do and say and think – our sins – are like cancer in our souls. If you had cancer, no matter how many vitamins you might take it just won't cure it. It's the same with sin – just living a good life (like taking vitamins) won't cure the sin problem.
To God, sin is spiritual cancer and just a little bit of sin will keep us separated from truly knowing the real God.
People can only be saved from this terrible separation by admitting they have a sin problem, then turning away from a self directed lifestyle and placing all hope and trust in the payment for sin, the peace offering, that Jesus made when he died on the cross.
This process is called being "born again".
We believe Christians are those who decide to accept the peace offering made by Jesus. A person accepts this peace offering by a choice (faith) that is seen in everyday actions. In effect, we decide to follow Jesus as our Captain in life.
It's a little like joining the U.S. Military: in the Military, you have to turn away from a civilian life, then swear to follow the officers orders and then go into training to live out the Military lifestyle of service.
In the same way, Christians are people who turn away from living just any way they want (repentance), then swear to follow Jesus as their Captain (pray and accept Him as master of all life choices) and then begin to get trained in how to live the Christian life of service to the needs of the world (learning from other Christians and from the Bible – this is what church should be all about).
Once we become Christians, God's Spirit begins to point out things in our lifestyle we need to change and also gives us the power to live lives that reflect God's greatness. It isn't our good life that puts us right with God, but our changed lives really reflect the truth of our trust in Him.
Just as a bad tree cannot grow good fruit, so we can see by a person's actions if they have indeed made Jesus their Captain.
The 66 books of the Bible are God's only and complete revelation to people about spiritual truth. The Bible, and the Bible alone, is the final rule and authority over how Christians should live.
There are many English translations of the Bible and we believe those translations which most accurately reflect the oldest copies of the originals should be our guides. We often check our scripture references against word for word translations of the oldest Greek and Hebrew versions available.
We primarily use the New King James Version but refer often to others.
The Church is not a building or an organization. Instead, the church is made of all people who are born again. Since people make mistakes and the church is full of people, it is necessary that all church teachings and practices be confirmed by the Bible.
Jesus instructed us to be baptized as a public demonstration of our faith in Him as our Master in life and our savior from sin. We baptize people by dipping them completely in water, in the name of the triune God, after a person declares faith in Jesus.
The Lord Jesus also instructed us to remember his death and resurrection by observing the "Lord's Supper" on a regular basis. The ceremonies of Baptism and the Lord's Supper do not save us, it is our trust in God's mercy alone (our faith alone) that saves us, but these works are public declarations of our faith and important reminders to us of what we believe.
Jesus is coming back – no one knows when but His return will be seen by the whole planet and mean the end of history.
There's a lot of debate about end-times prophecy but we believe that two things are absolutely 100% certain – either Jesus will come back during your lifetime or you will die before His return – either way, everybody is going to face Him; what truly matters is HOW WE LIVE, not whether or not we figured out end-times prophecy correctly.
