Health Care
The health care industry is the region's largest source of private sector employment and generates an economic impact of almost $14 billion per year, according to The Health Collaborative
. Health care is also one of the fastest growing industries in our region; employment in hospitals increased by 36 percent in the past five years. Our health care employers offer good jobs with advancement opportunities, yet they struggle to find qualified employees to fill these positions, most of which require some postsecondary education or training.

The HCC primarily targets frontline incumbent workers from partner hospitals, as well as unemployed and disadvantaged jobseekers referred from several community based organizations. The collaborative has developed career pathway programs that provide training and wrap-around supports to prepare individuals for careers in Nursing, Allied Health, Rehabilitation, Clinical Lab, and Health Information Technology.
Key Success Factors
Significant employer leadership
Employer tuition pre-payment for incumbent employees
Funding for developmental education, as well as for-credit certificate and degree programs
Convenient class locations and schedules for working students
Flexible work hours to allow employees to attend classes
Funding for capital and operations for training facilities
Supportive services to assist with transportation, child care, and job coaching
Job readiness and soft skill training for entry workers
Innovative curriculum to facilitate student success
Transferable credits and articulation between educational institutions
Multiple entry and exits points along pathway
Employer-embedded job coaches to provide comprehensive job retention supports
Cohort-based learning to facilitate peer support and persistence
Priority access to clinical training for career pathway participants
Since 2008, served more than 3,700 jobseekers and incumbent workers with occupational training, with 88% completing training and earning more than 3,800 credentials, and 88% obtaining employment and 81% retaining employment after 12 months.
More than 400 incumbents workers participating in career pathways training to obtain their Associate's Degree, with an 80%+ retention rate (35% comparison) and average GPA pf 3.25 (2.78 comparison).
Completed a
Return-on-Investment Analysis that calculated the ROI for one hospital partner, UC Health. The analysis found a 12% ROI for the incumbent training program due to recruitment cost savings, and a net benefit of $2.6M for the entry-level certificate training program due to lower turnover and reduced recruitment costs.
In 2010, secured a $4.9 million Department of Labor grant to significantly scale up the HCC's work.
In 2011, HCC partner Cincinnati State secured a $19.6 million TAACCT grant on behalf of a consortium of ten community colleges nationwide to develop health career pathways based on the model of HCC.

NYC East Village Explosion & Fire Engulfs Buildings: Multiple Victims
Two East Village residential and business buildings erupted in a massive seven alarm fire on March 26. Firefighters are currently battling to reach victims trapped inside. Find out all the horrific details here.
So sad. The NYPD has reported several injuries after an explosion in Manhattan's East Village caused one residential and business building, on Second Avenue and Seventh Street, to collapse, while another was engulfed in flames. Emergency responders are currently on the scene — the collapse was reported at 3:20 p.m. on March 26.
NYC East Village Explosion & Fire Engulfs Building — Multiple Victims
The explosion possibly happened in the first floor business, believed to be a restaurant, and the fire spread to the apartments above. At this time, it's unclear what caused the initial explosion.
As many as 30 people were injured, according to the New York Post. And since the explosion occurred, people have been posting various videos and pictures on social media. See them below.

Videos show smoke rising over Second Avenue. It's truly a horrific day for NYC. Thus far, over 130 firefighters and 30 units have been sent to the scene, a spokesperson for the FDNY told Mashable.
Our hearts break for those who were injured in this scary explosion and fire. We hope that everyone affected pulls through and recovers quickly.
This story is ongoing, so keep coming back to HollywoodLife.com for all the updates. Our thoughts are with those who have been injured.

text: Many religions have a baptism ceremony to introduce the children into their church and community. Depending on your religious affiliation, this may be called a naming ceremony, an Orthodox Christian baptism, a Catholic baptism, a christening, or a dedication to the church. As a mother, I believe it's important to enjoy this special day with your child. My advance planning can eliminate a lot of stress and make your baby's special day one to cherish. Together we are going to create a memory to last a lifetime.

Everyone is ready to wear their heart on their sleeve for Parkinson's after the Kids Only PD Awareness T-Shirt Design Contest! The contest illustrated how everyone, no matter their age, can help to make a difference in the fight against Parkinson's.
Just last week, the public voted for, "Together we can fight Parkinson's," a design created by 7-year-old Mabel Johnson, from among six finalists (see all the designs in the slideshow below), to be featured on the official 2015 PD Awareness T-Shirt. Mabel's design was among nearly 40 endearing designs submitted by children ages five to 15. The designs, most of which were drawn by hand, honored loved ones living with Parkinson's disease, including parents and grandparents.
And, as PDF's judges, who are also members of PDF's Creativity and Parkinson's Project, found out, narrowing down the field was no easy task.
- "It was such a tough call. The images were all adorable. Each drawing made me smile from ear to ear. I love art, especially when it's created from a young heart! Thank you to PDF for letting me be a part of the fun!" said painter Cindy DeLuz of Lodi, CA.
- "It was so gratifying to view so many wonderful and heartfelt submissions. As you can imagine, challenging too, to ultimately select just six finalists! What a delight to have the opportunity to help select finalists to appear on PDF's Awareness T-Shirt! Sincere best wishes to all of the artists who submitted their drawings for consideration," added John Creveling, of Philadelphia, PA, a painter featured in this year's PDF Creativity and Parkinson's Calendar.
Mabel's t-shirt design was created in honor of her maternal grandmother. The three tulips holding hands depicted in her drawing represent Mabel and her older brothers working together.
"Parkinson's can make it hard for Mimi to do things sometimes. It is hard for her to hold things in her hand. I would like to help so Parkinson's goes away," says Mabel.

"Can't you put the heat on or something?" I asked, shivering in the crisp night air.
Alice looked at me, surprised. "Sorry, didn't even think about that." She flipped a switch and hot air blasted through the vents. "I've never used these before," she commented, and then expertly threw car in gear and maneuvered down the driveway.
"Are you going to drive fast?" I asked apprehensively.
She slammed her foot on the gas, and beamed at the sound of the humming engine. "Most certainly."
I sighed, watching the trees whiz by as we headed for the highway, blurring into a shadowy swirl before me. "I figured."
She made an alarmingly sharp turn with ease, and then patted the steering wheel lovingly. "I love my little car. It's the perfect blend of fast, smooth, and beautiful."
"And yellow," I reminded her.
She grinned. "And yellow … and perfect."
I laughed. "You can't think of anything you don't like about it?" I asked teasingly.
She cocked her head to the side for a moment, her mouth screwed up in thought. "Well," she said finally. "The back's a little small for Jazz and me."
I paused in confusion, but then I got her meaning, and a brilliant blush spread over my cheeks. The car was silent for a moment as we zipped down the deserted road. I focused on the gold light emanating from the glowing streetlights, wishing myself miles away, but at the same time dying to ask for more information. I thought of Edward, and myself, and what was going to happen two weeks from now, and felt a sick feeling in my stomach as panic overtook me. Not only was I worried about leaving Charlie, breaking the news to Renée, not flunking out of Calculus, and becoming an immortal, I had to worry about the wedding night, too. It was just too much.
I could tell that Alice had sensed my change in mood. Normally she would have been chattering a mile a minute, but now she was silent, looking lost in thought as we zoomed down the road. Finally, after five long minutes in heavy silence, she turned to look at me.
"Bella," she said, her musical voice gentle. "You're as dear to me as a sister. I would never want to pry … but remember that you can talk to me about anything."
The blush rose to my cheeks again. "Anything?" I asked, shifting uncomfortably in the seat.
She smiled, looking back at the road again, her lips twitching slightly. "Why do you think I took you on the road tonight? No one can hear what we're talking about."
I looked down at my lap. "Yeah." And her expression was so understanding and sympathetic that the words tumbled out before I could help myself. "I'm nervous," I confessed.
"Well, you're brave enough to hang with vampires," she said lightly, her voice a little teasing.
"But it's nothing compared to … that," I protested, feeling myself blush again. Inside the close confines of the car, I hoped it wasn't making me smell too yummy.
Her expression became serious. "I know … I was nervous, too, you know," she added. "Everyone is a little bit."
I bit my lip. "But you were a vampire," I said slowly, cringing at how obvious it sounded.
She tilted her head to the side, confused. "Of course." Her eyes went blank for a moment, scanning into the future, and then she sighed wearily. "So that's it."
"You were a vampire – already strong and perfect and beautiful!" I said. Tears suddenly stung my eyes, surprising me.
"I'm not perfect, Bella," she said kindly, and reached out a hand to touch my shoulder. "None of us are."
I looked at her white face, her elfin features glowing with a delicate perfection, and then at my own blemished reflection in the side mirror, the contrast painfully evident. "But you're beautiful!"
"You're beautiful too, Bella."
"But Edward is …" I tried to think of a word to describe how incredibly flawless he was, how I could never possible compare.
She cut me off. "Edward is madly and eternally in love with you, Bella," she said firmly. "There's nothing to be worried about."
I wrung my hands together. "But … I'm not like him. I'm not perfect enough for him to love me," I said in a small voice, feeling stupid and petty and embarrassed but at the same time relieved to finally tell this to someone.
She went quiet for a long moment, looking at the long and dark highway that stretched before us, the only sound in the car the steady hum of the motor. When she spoke, her voice was unusually tired.
"Bella, do you remember when Jasper showed you his scars?"
I nodded, remembering how unusually communicative he had been that day, how he had pulled back his shirt sleeve to show the tiny, almost invisible lines all over his forearm. I frowned, wondering where she was taking this.
She smiled at my confused expression. "Well, to you they seem almost invisible – you can only see them under a bright light, and you have to look hard. But to a vampire … all our senses are heightened, Bella. To a vampire, they're the first thing we notice. For some, it's difficult to see past them, for they are reminders of danger and violence. They're warnings, Bella. And Jasper is covered with them.
"And he's scarred deeper than that. His whole past has been carnage and bloodshed. Even though it's been a long time since then, the effects aren't going to go away. I know that as well as he does. It's a struggle every single day, keeping control, adapting to a strange lifestyle of peace. It's terribly difficult for him, and for me as well. I have to be his strength. I can never afford to be weak, to make a misstep, and no matter how hard he tries, I'm still going to have to watch him suffer every day, for the rest of our lives."
Taking her eyes off the road, she turned to look at me, a strange burning behind her dark eyes. "Bella, I love Jasper with all my heart. He is my life, he is my reason for existing. But after telling you all of this, do you really think that I love him because he is perfect?"
Then, all of a sudden, everything became clear, and I didn't – couldn't – answer for a moment. She reached over and wiped a tear from my cheek, her brow creasing. "Don't be upset," she said, a little anxiously. "I was trying to make you feel better."
"You have," I said sincerely, sniffling a little. "I … I really think I understand now." And I did. I no longer felt undeserving and unworthy of Edward's love. It might not make sense, but no matter what, he would love me anyway. A fresh flood of warm tears ran down my cheeks.
Keeping one hand on the wheel, Alice pressed her fingers to her temple, like a human might if they had a migraine. "God, I did this all wrong. Girl talk isn't supposed to go like this … I'm not sure where I went off track, but you're definitely not supposed to end up crying in my car." She opened her eyes to look at me in exasperation. "I was supposed to go into details about the wedding night."
"That's fine, I'll be okay," I said hastily, wiping the last of the tears off my cheek.
Her eyes went blank for a moment, and then she glanced at the clock on the radio. "Good, because I should be getting home soon."
"Why?" I asked curiously, wondering what she would need to do at this hour.
A wicked smile danced around her mouth. "Jazz is waiting for me." She sighed indulgently. "That boy can only have one thing on his mind."
A brilliant blush rose again to my cheeks, and I put my head in my hands. "Way, way too much information, Alice."
Her musical laughter rang into the night, and the car sped forward. "Well, you asked for it!"
Hope everyone liked this. For a different take on Jasper's scars, see my other piece, "Moonlight".
And make sure to add me to author alert, because I have some other stuff in the making right now ;)

2016 Camaro SS New Gen-6 Chevrolet Camaros
The all new cars 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is best forever because the chevy camaro ready to race. For the sixth generation, the Camaro will adopt the dynamic Alpha RWD architecture as seen in the Cadillac ATS and CTS, but will implement different power trains than previously seen. Expect a Small Block V8 (though a V6 and a turbo 4 appear in the cards, too) to send power to those rear wheels in Camaro SS models, and expect GM's latest transmissions to come along with it. Also expect the next Camaro to come across as less bulky, being a pinch smaller than what we currently see with the CTS.
But, as evident from the latest spy photos found on Camaro6.com, don't expect the looks of the 2016 Camaro to be that far of a departure from what buyers are currently enjoying today. Peeking under the layers of camouflage we can make out similar front and rear light designs that we first saw when the fifth-gen originally made its debut. Lastly, what's not pictured is the roar emitting from the quartet of tail pipes emitting from these V8-powered bruisers, but we can imagine the 2015 Ford Mustang heard it through the trees loud and clear.
Expect the all-new Camaro to debut soon, either at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show or 2015 New York Auto Show. Detroit seems to be reserved for the new Volt.
Price of the new 2016 Camaro will be around $ 24,000 to $ 31,000. 2016 Camaro ZL1 will be more expensive and will cost about $ 56,000. Because We must emphasize that this car will have a little high price, but if you take into consideration what kind of vehicle this is and what all it offers is our opinion that no price for this pretty boy is not too high. Release Date 2016 Chevrolet Camaro will be immediately after his appearance at the NAIAS 2015th

Anyone, men or women deciding to go out on a party or a formal dinner, dresses in the most appropriate way for the occasion. The color the make, the fabric and everything of the dress you are wearing is chosen with much care so that you look perfectly tailored for the occasion. So, why not be a bit enthusiastic about your hair; and take care of the way you brush and set your hair to get the correct and perfect formal look. Men and women have a number of formal hairstyle which they can try on any occasion. The real thing behind a successful formal look is to choose the correct hairstyle that goes along with the occasion, your dress and the mood of the function and the shape of your face.
Formal hairstyle need not be just the simple side parting or the back combed short trimmed hair, properly set spikes and long or medium styles can also be made to formal style if a bit care is given while choosing it and doing the hair. These perfectly done spikes or "neat" tousled look can be more formal than any other formal style if taken care of properly. as we know well groomed, neat and organized can be the synonym of a formal hairstyle and this can be achieved on any hair type and any person.
Though formal style usually does not make a fashion statement, they are really good looking and can go on with everyone making the person look polished and at their smartest. The men's formal hairstyles usually looks great in colors like black, brown, burgundy, or any color that is looks simple and presentable. Even the grey in your hair might look good on a well chosen formal hairstyle. Styling of the formal one can be done with a bit of hair gel, and hair serum which give a sleek and neat appearance, but a little too much if these will give an edgy look or can even go to the informal style. So doing the thing always requires precision, care and just the right bit of everything.
Men can try a lot of styles on their hair, be it curly, wavy or straight. Neatly cropped short hair always has a formal look hanging around it. The best one is the curly one, try cropping it just as the curls starts to appear giving the hair a curly but neat and manageable finish. Another variation of this very short style is to cut the hair to a very short length so as to have a bristle texture which can look the same on all types of hair.
Try simple layering including long layers which should be side parted and set neatly with a bit of styling gel. Brushing the hair backwards and letting it fall in the way it free and neat can be a stylish formal hairdo if the hair is not of very short type.
Doing a formal style with medium length hair is easy as the medium length hair with bangs or fringes can look very much formal if it is rightly styles with proper care. It is at the way you make up the hair that gives you the formal or the casual look, a soft spike or a tousle ca also give a formal look if you take care not to overdo it. Long layers styled in a perfect way can also give you the formal look on the medium length hair. But take care to keep the style look neat and good. A correctly tousled men's formal hairstyles can also look great on a formal function if done properly. straight hair are the best to have a neat appearance no matter how little time you spent on it; so to have a formal style all ought to do is to cut and set it in the proper way. Even wavy and curly hair are can be very much set for a formal occasion if a bit of extra care is given, especially to the curly one.
Long hair correctly tailored and managed can look at its best on any occasion. Tying the hair in a neat pony can achieve the formal look. If you have not visited your hair dresser lately, a neat trim would correct out the hair which usually look unmanaged and unhealthy when grown long. You can also ask your hair dresser to assist you with a men's hairstyles that will look great on you at a formal function. A bit of hair product will help you to achieve the well tailored formal look so choose a one wisely and get going.
Long hair has a unique look around it and how you style it decides how you look for the occasion. Try to introduce layers to make the hair look fuller and taken care of.

COV-IFS-TsWP (Interference Free System)
The system incorporates a covert communication earpiece, Interference Free Neck-loop with built in microphone, covert style Wireless PTT, and Tone Generation. The COV7 uses a technology called Vestigial Sideband Modulation to transmit audio signals over a short range from the Neck-loop without responding to power or data borne interference. This allows uses to operate in areas of high electromagnetic noise without it being picked up by the earpiece.

I'd Take Juno Over Jenny Slate's Anti-Juno Any Day
I love the brilliant opening scene of Gillian Robespierre's short film, Obvious Child , starring SNL's newest cast member Jenny Slate. Nothing screams "hipster" like breaking up in a New York thrift store, half-buried in a turtleneck. Genius.
But as far as message goes, I felt like this short film fell flat. Its explicit purpose is to preach the pro-choice counterpoint to the anti-abortion undercurrent so winningly portrayed in films like Juno and Knocked Up . I was unswayed. I can't help wanting a little hope and redemption in my entertainment (not to mention real life). That's why the plots of all of the recent pregnant-mama films resonate: Selfish, naive young people get pregnant and decide to stop living entirely for themselves and take responsibility for their actions. And we cheer for them, because we want their fictional careless escapades to be redeemed by some warm-hearted selflessness.
I can hear the criticism piling up already. "But it's not responsible to get pregnant! Abortion is the responsible thing to do, unless you're the privileged daughter of a well-known politician!" That's certainly an argument that has a lot of traction in our society today. But for me the most poignant line of Obvious Child was when leading-lady Donna, who fits the classic selfish and naive stereotype to a tee, tells her mom over the phone, "I'm going to have an abortion today." Her mother's calm, scripted voice doesn't waver with the slightest bit of emotion, and soothingly assures her, "Well, you know, that's probably the best thing to do. You're so young. You have your whole life ahead of you." Except, from what I can tell, Donna is a self-absorbed partier in her late 20s or early 30s, prone to one-night stands and brainless conversations with her best gal pal. If I had to flash-forward to a Donna in 20 years, I feel like I'd imagine her living the same old self-absorbed way, only with more wrinkles. All of which is to say, a little dose of reality might do her some serious good.
There's a lot happening on the political level regarding abortion these days-a lot of scientific questions, economic questions, and moral questions being debated and legislated on. The latest Gallup poll indicated that 51 percent of Americans consider themselves to be pro-life. After watching Obvious Child , I feel pretty confident that until the pro-choice movement finds some heroines that have a little more heart, most of us will take Juno over Donna any day.

St Paul's Quasi Parish Menka was created in August 2013 with territory detached from Widikum. Largely an area of Primary Evangelization, there are no nursery or primary schools in Menka. However there are 6 Mission Stations administered to by Fr Valentine Zuzeko as Rector assisted by a semiinarian on Pastoral Year. There is no motorable road into Menka and even with a bike it is a tedious experience.

A 94- YEAR- OLD Bootle woman has broken a world swimming record.
Great- grandmother Betty Jones shattered the 50m freestyle record in her veteran age group by eight seconds.
Mrs Jones, originally from Orlando Road but now living in Perth, Australia, broke the previous record of one minute 55 seconds, in an inter-club swimming competition down under.
Now the former Bedford Road school pupil, who learnt to swim at Balliol Road baths, is asking ECHO readers to help her to track down her former swimming teammates, nearly 70 years after she left the UK.
She said: "I would like to speak to anyone who used to swim in Bootle and is still swimming now.
"When I broke the record I had no- one to compete against because they had all retired."
Mrs Jones, who moved to Australia after marrying sailor Owen in 1934, won several competitions as a schoolgirl swimmer.
The former Woolworths shop assistant says she started competitive team swimming only in 1978.
Her record-breaking swim took place at the Terry Tyzack swimming pool, near her Inglewood home, in April.
But Mrs Jones received official confirmation of her world record from the Australian Union of Seniors Swimmers Masters organisation only this week.
"I wasn't thinking about the record when I was competing, I just wanted to win points for the team. I was surprised when I had found out I had broken it.
"I just want to keep swimming."
Anyone who remembers swimming with Betty Jones (nee Lambert) can contact daughter Beryl on 0061892751487.

IIPCIC Advanced Curriculum Information
Welcome to the IIPCIC Advanced Curriculum Information page.
This 8 module advanced course explores Investigating Online Counterfeiting and Piracy. The learning is based on the assumption that students will already be broadly familiar with the Internet and online terminology. It is also assumed that students will be aware of the nature and extent of piracy, and the trafficking in illicit and counterfeit goods through the Internet. The advanced course examines investigating online piracy and counterfeiting in detail to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to successfully lead and manage online criminal investigations.
You will be presented with the fundamental content necessary to understand Investigating Online Counterfeiting and Piracy. As part of the program you will be required to pass a 50 question exam to demonstrate that you understand the concepts presented in each of the modules. You will need to score 80% or better to pass the exam and earn your certificate.
This course is currently available in English, Spanish and Mandarin.
Access the Online Training Modules
The series consists of eight lessons to help you pass the exam:
Module 1: Structure of the Internet
In this training we will discuss the structure of the Internet, how it is managed and delivered worldwide for the collective benefit of all concerned. How the Internet is composed of many different digital IP addresses, domains names and associated networks, which are accessible through various Internet Service Providers (ISPs). These ISPs offer storage and service to consumers in a variety of forms, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages, which have the potential to assist or hinder investigations into criminal activities.
Module 2: Online platforms
In this training we will discuss various online platforms, including but not limited to; social networks, discussion forums, and online marketplaces. Learners will acquire information regarding the types and forms of websites encountered by both consumers and pirates alike, as well as how these sites might be exploited by either party.
Module 3: Methods of connection to suspects
In this training we will discuss various means of communication and web access, as well as what types of evidences they may offer to investigators. Learners will gain an understanding of how criminals gain access to the Internet and communication tools used to exploit online platforms and distribute counterfeit and pirated goods. When criminals use the Internet and online platforms, they leave a trail which an online investigator can follow to collect intelligence and evidence of their crimes.
Module 4: Information available to online investigators
In this training we will discuss a more in-depth look at the information and data left behind by criminals as they engage in the various parts of the internet. Learners will acquire a greater comprehensive understanding of the analytical tools available to them and how they might assist in a criminal investigation.
Module 5: Online Distribution of Counterfeit Goods
In this training we will discuss how to differentiate between online counterfeiting and online piracy, the breadth and ready availability of many diverse types of counterfeit products and how these activities violate applicable laws. Learner will gain knowledge of how organized criminals systematically exploit the Internet supply chain worldwide to distribute counterfeit products on an industrial scale.
Module 6: Online Distribution of Pirated Digital Content
In this training, online piracy is explored in general and in detail, with much examination dedicated to digital piracy and its social and legal status in various parts of the world. Learners will gain a deeper comprehension of the drivers (both consumer and criminal) and consequences of digital piracy, in addition to possible strategic needs and goals in relation to combatting such.
Module 7: Investigating Online Infringement
In this training we will take a deep look at the methods and processes for prosecuting criminal activity, including, but not limited to, the gathering of intelligence and analysis of internet systems. Learners will be able to apply past and current knowledge and assemble an understanding of how to commence an online criminal investigation via evidence collection.
Module 8: Digital Crime Scene Management
This training has a specific focus on digital crime scene management and reinforces the need for investigators to adopt a systematic approach to investigating all kinds of trafficking in illicit goods. Strategies for the maintenance of a criminal investigation are detailed and additional tools and processes available to investigators are examined. Learners will build upon their past knowledge in order to adopt effective management strategies for the continued pursuit of online criminal activity.
On successful completion of the 8 modules and final exam, students can download an IIPCIC Certificate endorsed by INTERPOL certifying they have successfully completed a course of professional studies on the Investigating Online Counterfeiting and Piracy. The certificated course, recognized by INTERPOL, sets international standards and provides IP crime professionals with evidence of specialist awareness and learning on the subject of Investigating Online Counterfeiting and Piracy.
Law Enforcement Training Costs
All law enforcement IP crime investigators including police officers, customs or appropriate regulatory body representatives will automatically be enrolled in this course without charge after successfully completing the 14 core introductory and intermediate level modules. For questions related to eligibility, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. Please provide your full name, agency name, work e-mail address and office telephone number.

Nowadays of increasing functioning of network competitors, the Portuguese Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) of the Textile and Clothing Industry are facing new digital challenges. In order to strengthen their market power and reduce their dependence on foreign subcontractors, they need to create a brand image. Within this new digital and interactive context, they must interact with their consumers and take full advantage of the opportunities provided by new communication and media networks, by implementing Intranets and Extranets as privileged systems of external communication with clients, suppliers, and partners in a competitive environment. This essay analyses the competitive advantages and TOWS Matrix's Model is used for tracing dominant strategic alternatives and convenient recommendations for managers and public administrators taking into consideration the operating changes in the new economic platform, namely Internet. The Portuguese Government is committed to encouraging entrepreneurship and acts as a unifying agent, working with SME to pursue the creation of a selective set of Portuguese brands, which might better, represent products labelled "Made in Portugal". Furthermore, the Textile and Clothing Industry should be promoted using incentives to encourage SME production, and especially where innovative products are concerned, in connection with the main suppliers of raw materials, in order to encourage Cluster Networks and Technological Poles. Also relations should be encouraged by the construction of a vertical chain sheltered by a selective set of Portuguese brands supported and promoted by responsible national agents. This is a sine qua non condition to create an International Store Chain, which could offer the SME products the needed visibility.

Jason Biggs is to become a dad for the first time.
The 'American Pie' actor and his wife, Jenny Mollen – who wed in 2008, shortly after meeting on the set of rom-com 'My Best Friend's Girl' – announced they are expecting their first child together.
The funnyman broke the news during his appearance on US show 'Chelsea Lately' yesterday (17.07.13).
Host Chelsea Handler commented on a picture of Jenny, saying: "Her breasts look really engorged."
Jason quipped: "Her breasts are very big these days. Would you like to know why? Cause I put a baby in her belly!"
Jenny, 34, confirmed her pregnancy by posting a picture of her sonogram on Instagram, jokingly writing, "My new assistant is so f***ing lazy!"
She then shared an image of four different pregnancy tests she had taken – which all showed positive.
Jason took to Twitter after his TV appearance to spread the word, joking he hoped the announcement hadn't spoiled the impending arrival of the British royal baby for Prince William and Duchess Catherine.
The 35-year-old actor wrote: "My wife @jennyandteets is pregnant. My sincerest apologies to Kate Middleton for stealing all of her thunder. #AmericasBaby".
Fans and friends were quick to congratulate the star on his big news, with one posting on Twitter: "Yayyy! the REAL royal baby!"
The couple had said they were trying to start a family earlier this year after five years of marriage.
Jason said: "We're right in that zone. That's our next step.We figure we've been married five years next week, so we figure now it's about that time. I'm ready!"

Discretionary / Non-Discretionary
2 RepliesJump to last post
Apr 6, 2017 4:16 pm
I'm considering taking on a client that would like to follow one of my models but would like to approve each trade. Currently, my brochure and ADV mention discretionary management only and I only have an advisory agreement for discretionary.
I'm assuming that this would not be a material change and would not require a mid-year brochure update; rather I could make a year-end change to 'Advisory Business' section.
I'm not too keen on hiring a lawyer to draft a non-discretionary IA agreement? Any advice?

Friday links
I haven't been online much this week — more running around than usual and less reading/writing time — so this week's links are abbreviated.
That said, anyone who reads science fiction or is interested in the genre should read Paul Graham Raven's review of Wikiworld by Paul Di Filippo. In the first three paragraphs, Raven analyzes the state of science fiction today to contextualize his review. Brilliant stuff. Here's a long excerpt to give you a taste, but click through for the whole thing.
"SCIENCE FICTION" is in crisis.
The sign "science fiction" is now referent to two related yet distinct signifieds, and the crisis only inheres in one of them. Sf as a literary mode, as a rhetoric, has always staunchly resisted any attempt at precise functional definition, but is easy enough to locate (albeit approximately, as one might locate a fogbank, or a region of civil unrest) in the contemporary cultural landscape. As a way of exploring the relationships between people and their technologies (and the worlds constructed by those relationships), Sf is in rude health, and busily metastasizing its way into cinema, television, music, art, theory, policy strategy, and more; as Gary K. Wolfe puts it, the genre has evaporated, diffusing into other media, other generic forms. It is an increasingly active fraction of the global cultural atmosphere; modal science fiction has conquered by transcending its original materiality.
"Science fiction", then – the science fiction that is in crisis – is the residue left behind by that evaporative process. That residue comprises the generic-ness from which the label genre stems: in this case, the outdated stylistic tics and aesthetics of a marginal pulp-modernist medium, the clichés, the well-worn assumptions and comfortable call-backs, and the outdated institutional values in which they were nurtured and framed.
The night before last, A and I were discussing his PhD thesis. He spent the past eight months coding and doing installations, and now he's at the point of synthesis — pulling his ideas together, outlining them, identifying any holes, and making plans for writing. As he's been working through his specific ideas, he also posted a larger question about artistic research, which is a phrase we first encountered in Switzerland. How widespread is this idea?
His questions about artistic research reminded me a little of the new PhD programs in Writing. Before, an MFA was the terminal degree for writers, and it's a degree focused on practice. PhD programs have a theoretical or scholarly component. I strongly believe that good writers have to be good readers, but I also wonder about the balance between theory and practice.
And for a final link, another fun video. After Amazon.com trolled the world with its proposed drone delivery program, Waterstones bookstore trolled them right back:
Happy weekend!

Toward the end of World War II, Russian soldiers pushing into eastern Germany stumble across a secret Nazi lab, one that has unearthed and begun experimenting with the journal of one Dr. Victor Frankenstein. The scientists have used the legendary Frankenstein's work to assemble an army of super-soldiers stitched together from the body parts of their fallen comrades -- a desperate Hitler's last ghastly ploy to escape defeat.

Kasey + Brad's Audubon Center Wedding
When talking with Kasey and Brad, they mentioned they loved the outdoors, were laid back, and massive Philly sports fans (hard to be these days I know). With this in mind, their Audubon Center wedding was perfect for them! From the beautiful weather we got – despite forecasts of rain – to their rustic themed cocktail hour and reception, the wedding couldn't have gone any better. Kasey wore a gorgeous Lazaro dress and rocked some cute Lucky Brand shoes under it while Brad wore Sperry's with some pretty awesome mustache socks. The John J. Audubon center was such a good fit for them both, and everything was outside except cocktail hour, which was held in a great barn the venue had. The couple's friend, DJ, officiated their ceremony (with tears all around). Kasey was bubbling near the end when she got to kiss her (now) husband – she was jumping for joy! We got a few moments to sneak out after the ceremony while everyone was back at the barn and headed through the stunning grounds at the Audubon center with amazing light – a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of cocktail hour. Right before the reception, Kasey and Brad hopped in their friend's old MG and took a drive around the property, then it was time for dancing, and dancing, and dancing. At one point during the reception, I counted 3 people out of all the guests sitting down, while everyone else packed the dance floor with music from Lovesick Inc. Lovesick Inc. really did a tremendous job in playing to the crowd, and keeping everyone happy and on their feet – it's rare to see so much participation for so long at weddings, but they made it look easy. After parent dances, the cake was moved to the dance floor to be cut. It was a traditional three-tier, buttercream cake with wooden decorations, but the real surprise was for Brad: Kasey had the staff bring out a special cake. A Phillies jersey cake, adorned with the couple's last name, looked fabulous and Brad absolutely loved it (I hear it tasted great too!). Kasey + Brad's wedding was such a joy to shoot, and they are one of the most fun couples I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I wish them nothing but the very best for their future – it's going to be incredible.

Massachusetts Issues Draft Guidance on POS Transaction Recordkeeping
The purpose of the new recordkeeping and record retention guidelines is to ensure that the state can suitably verify what was sold and whether the retailer paid the proper amount of tax. These new guidelines add to the growing list of state regulations targeting POS data collection practices. Any retailers with a presence in Massachusetts may be affected by implementation of the directive and should carefully review the guidance to ensure that their POS systems conform to the requirements.
Detailed Information Required for All POS Transactions
The draft guidance requires retailers to retain enough information from POS transactions to allow the state to reconcile receipts, invoices, and other documents with the records on the retailer's tax returns. Specifically, under the draft guidance, POS transaction records must include, at a minimum, the following information:
- Item(s) sold
- Price
- Tax collected
- Invoice number
- Date of sale
- Payment method
- POS terminal number
- POS transaction number
All of this data must be retained for at least three years, the statutory limit in Massachusetts for making additional assessments on tax returns. During the collection and retention of these records, the retailer must also maintain auditable internal controls to guarantee that the records are accurate and complete. The new Massachusetts guidelines mirror, verbatim, similar guidelines issued by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance in 2011.
While retailers are best served by recording all transactions as accurately as possible, compliance with these updated recordkeeping and record retention requirements are necessary in Massachusetts to avoid further audits by the Department of Revenue and possible civil or criminal penalties. State law on POS data collection varies. Retailers should, therefore, remain apprised of all state data collection and recordkeeping regulations and guidelines.
The directive is currently a working draft and the Massachusetts Department of Revenue is accepting comments on the guidance through January 30, 2015.

...the king and the queen had wished themselves a son. The kingdom cried by happiness. The little boy beginned his little life as a prince over...
...Tatooine, a planet in a distant galaxy far away from our world. The royal couple named their beloved son to...
Anakin Skywalker, but they didn't know that one beautiful springday in may, he would be EVIL.
The king and the queen raised their son as a true prince, They gave him love, and everything he could have wished for...but still he wasn't satisfied...he wanted to go out and see the world...on adventures...
So one day he took goodbye of his parents and went out to the world to seek for his fortune...
...The first one he met was a little hobbit called Pippin. He told a story about a powerful ring. The thing that Anakin was mostly fascinated about was the evil Sauron, which became the beginning of Anakins retreat from the good to the evil...
Little Anakin got so fascinated with Sauron, that he descided to go looking for him. But mostly, the little princeheart was good...could someone save it?
This someone turned out to be a princess from a planet nearby Tatooine. It was the same planet which Anakin had landed on. One day he got his eyes on a kingdompalace and he went through the gates...
Behind the gates was a big beautiful garden with many beautiful white statues and many flowers. Among the flowers sat the beautiful princess and she read a book, more exactly The Lord of The Rings. Anakin fell inlove at once when he saw her. He went forward to say hello to her, but then...
...all suddenly a man came ahead and kissed her. Anakin came to a dead stop, but had already been seen. The man went forward to him and introduced himself as Cal Hockley. Cal invited Anakin to diner in the gracious palacy. He explained that the princess needed a lifeguard...
...as brave as Anakin was, he thanked and took the job as a lifeguard. This meant that he would be watching the princess night and day...
...When the princess and Anakin finally got alone with eachother, she told him that her name was...
Rosa Tussle from Frogmorton. And he got deeply inloved...his hunger after the wet skin and her silky golden hair felt his senses, and he lost all his desire after the evil (including Sauron) from his head and heart.
A few days later he noticed that Rosa was missing. He looked and looked, but she was gone. Then he took his spaceship and flew away. He found her driving away from Frogmorton, but he catched up her...
...and got her to stop. He docked to her ship and went in. A smell, that maid him wanna throw up, surrounded him. The indescribable smell just went worse and worse. What could it be? He tied a clothe around his mouth and nose and went to the cockpit. It was the place where the smell came from. He was bombproof. He pushed the button and the door opened. A figure raised from the chair. "Rosa" he shouted. But the figure changed himself. The skin cracked and out came an ugly animal. "An Imrik irk," he cried. He had been fooled. The Imrik irk came against him...
He fought bravely against the Imrik irk until suddenly he saw that the Imrik irk in fact was his old pet, which he had loved so muched when he was little but his father had given it away because it was so hairy. He took the Imrik irk with him on his adventures. He named the Imrik irk to...
Emma :
But what he didn't know was that Frodo actually belonged to the mean Captain Zap, who had tried to take over the world in a desperately trying to get some attention. But the funny part over Captain Zap was that he was Anakins...
...grandmother! But Anakin didn't know that, so when Captain Zap jumped out from a closet, they started to fight with their lightswords!
"Oh, little Anakin", said Captain Zap. "Not should we stand here and fight like some old couple of orcs! I am your grandmother and I don't want to be your enemy! Come here and sit down and I'll give you a cup of tee!" So Anakin sat down in an armchair and drank a little from the tee which he was given from Captain Zap. But then she suddenly laughed malinant, because the treacherous grandmother had actually poisened the tee with....
...real father! The king/ Anakins father had no idea that the queen had had a little 'fun' outside the marriage. The reasault was a well-shaped little boy who the king raised as his own and gave pets to (for an example Frodo, even though he then gave it away to the evil because of it's hairiness).
Nevertheless...Anakin arranged a big party because that he had found his beloved Frodo (who he had allways thought lived on a farm on the country because his loved parents had fooled him when he was a young and naiv little boy).
People from the whole planet came to the party. And Gandalf took care of the fireworks. But suddnely, totally unprepaired arrived
Hmm, vilken ska jag fortsätta på. Jag blev ju helförvirrad, ni skrev ju dem precis samtidigt ju. Jag tyckte den med farmorn lät kulast (förlåt Nikwall).
The grandmother gave Anakin a piece of jewellery...it was the most beautifulest Anakin had ever seen (except for Rosa Tussle) It looked totally elfish! The grandmother said that he should give it to the women that he loved. She had just waited for the right moment to give it to him...She was dying. Anakin understood that he had to get out to look for Rosa...she meant everything to him. I mean she meant EVERYTHING to him...but when he safely had come over the ship again...
...it was occupied of the nine horsemen, or the ringwraiths. Anakin started to fight against them with his pink lightsword, but just when he was going to kill the leader, he told him that he fought for Sauron.
Anakin came to stand still and asked if he could meet this Sauron, of who he had heard so much about.
The ringwraith lifted Anakin up on his shoulders and headed to...
...which was a world full of elves, orcs, hobbits and other funny creatures. The ringwraith told him that it was going to be a long journey to Naboo, so they had to go by boat. The name of the boat was Cinatit. Anakin was sticking the smoke in his throat (the ringwraith had given him a pipe) Because on the deck stood...
Rosa! He didn't know where she came from, but atleast he had found her. Her hands and legs were tied to a pole, where she sat and shivered and trembled. Anakin took courage and was about to go forward to her, when...
Freaky Lily:
...Harry Potter came flying over their heads on his Nimbus 2000! Anakin drew his green lightsword and ran after the poisonous little amateur to a wizard. After having locked in Harry in a can and broked his magic wand, he went back to Rosa. But just when he had tied her up came...
...an orcarmy and attacked our poor hero. But Anakin felt no fear (of course!!!) and drew his lightsword. With some help from Rosa they slayed with slashes all the army, except for one pathetic little orc that begged to not be killed.
- Allright! Said our goodhearted starshipsflyer: I will spare your life if you promise me one thing!
- What, asked the horrorfied, pathetic excuse to and orc.
- Sure! Answered the orc and ran away.
Then he turned to his fair maid, smiled charming and picked up the jewellery from his pocket, but just when he was about to give it to Rosa...
she fell asleep, beacuse she was so tired. Well, the hero thought, I am also pretty tired. He laid his eyes on the beautiful Rosa one last time before he closed his eyes.
The first thing he saw when he woke up was...
...the empty space where Rosa had laid when he fell asleep. But suddenly he heard a voice.
- How would you like your eggs?
He looked around and saw Rosa sitting, frying eggs.
What happened, he said, and she said...
- Happened??? It hasn't happened anything.
He noticed that there were something strange with her, she looked she had gotten in some sort of trance.
She gave him the eggs, which where all black because she had poisened them and burned them because she such a bad cook...
Anakin then understood what had happened!!!
Darth Vader had hypnotized Rosa to get her to kill our hero by giving him cancer-inducing burned eggs!! Terrified he stepped back and screamed...
...- Watch out!!!!! Because behind Rosa stood Darth Vader in person. But Rosa was hypnotized and stood there with the fryingpan ready to strike.
- Kill him, commaned Darth Vader and suddnely it was Rosa who went with mecanic steps after Anakin to hit him in the head with the fryingpan. Anakin jumped out through the window and landed fortunately on...
e m m a:
- oktmtlökteö!
Which would wake Rosa up from her hypnotize.
But it didn't work, actually it seemed to affect even more on Rosa, who grabbed the kitchenknife and went forward to Anakin. He didn't know what to do, so he backed...but suddenly he backed
...A Hoover-salesman. Anakin had a seriousely phobia for those people so he screamed all he could with a squeaky voice. The noise was so loud that Rosa woke up from the hypnotize and Darth Vader took his flight through a trap door.
-We have to follow him, said Anakin after had being reined his fear. He took a Hoover from the salesman and sat himself on it with Rosa on the back. Then they drove down the trap door and landed in...
e m m a:
a starship which looked like container!
When they were safely down there they had to fight against 73 droids and they were all armed with skudd missils! But Anakin handled it good, because he had his lightsword.
And Rosa could by the way kung-fu!
A longer way in the ship, they ran into someone which Anakin hadn't met in a long long time...and it
It was his old teacher, Robert Heineken who were the son to the beerproducer Heiniken.
Anakin asked for a few advice about how he could make Rosa like him, but the only thing his teacher said was:
- Give her som beer. Chicks like that.
When Rosa heard that she bacame furious and...
started trashing on the teacher, when she happened to scrtach him in the face she noticed that he was carrying a mask. She ripped off the mask and it turned out to be...
...the famous actor Ben Affleck! He has as known been an alcoholic and that's why he was dressed out as the beerproducer's son. He wanted of course free beer, because his mother had hidden all the
When Rosa saw him she gave up a shout of joy.
- Ben!!! You are my favourit actor...
Of course Anakin got jealous and...
She started to cry and fell in Ben's arms. Then they went away in Ben's bombplane (Ben was going to drop some bombs over some distant planet) Anakin realized his misstake and...
e m m a:
...and followed quickly after with his on spacejet.
But then, Ben suddenly started to shoot at him with his bombs...(because that he wanted Rosa for his own) but suddenly...
Came a meteor flying and hit Ben in the head so fast that he never got the chance to avoid it. He fell down with a big noise and was gone forever...Rosa Tussle screamed hysterical and clang firmly on to the ship she sat in. It beguned to reek from it, and it crash down at a furious pace. Anakin understood that he had to save his beloved, so he sat himself in the ship...
...and swished after her. Stones and other things clattered against his windshield. But he managed to reach her again and got her over to his vombat car.
Anakin stopped the ship, Rosa went quivering out to the ground and sank down. She awoke with a worried but smiling face...
- Anakin, you are my hero, she said (she had obviously forgotten the poor Ben). Anakin smiled and took up the jewellery from his pocket. This was the perfect moment to give it to her, but just then a crow came and took it from Anakin's hands...
The crow, who came from the planet of the apes, was very ugly but Anakin forced himself too look at the crow so that he could follow her.
After a sixhours long tripp in the starship, finally he and Rosa came to the planet of the apes...
They crashed on the planet of the apes, but got off the ship scot-free. The thought about going in to the jungle to hunt the crow and with a big bang, the ship exploded. "Oh no, damn shit! How will we now come home?" Anakin shouted. His hasty temper had the control for a while, and Rosa looked with a troubled face on him...the got through bushes, jungle, brush and other things. Suddenly they saw a light...many lights!
When they came closer they saw that it was i little green figure with funny ears who trained fencing.
Aha, it's the guy, whatever-his-name-is, that I allways wanted to meet! Anakin thought. I am sure that he can help, if I just could remember his name.
Anakin plucked up his courage and went up to the little sly dog and asked: - Hello, there is no chance that you have seen a crow fly by here with a jewellery in his bill, ha?!
The little old man looked at first confused but then he said:
- Answer to your question you shall have, but first eat we shall!
Anakin got a little irritated (and thought that he recongnized the scenario from a movie) but he really wanted to give Rosa the jewellery so he stayed for scones and a cup of tea. When they were finished with the meal, the little old man leaned, who's name by the way was Yoda, back on his two rocket-buddies Humpte and Dumpte and said:
- Seen the crow I have, but tell you where he is I won't.
Anakin drew his nowadays orange lightsword (as you can see he is getting kind of sour pretty often), but Yoda was fast and they started to fence with eachother.
Then Bamse came and lifted them both up (he had eaten dunderhunny) and said...
*nowone will fight in my wood! Here everything is peacefully! The one who will have the courage to even show his lightsword in my country, is going to be arrested right away...*
Bamse trampled away with Anakin under the other arm, and Yoda under the other, and Rosa got standing outside where it almost had been a fight. Hehe...how will you manage out of this, Anakin?
Isn't Bamse the world's most nicest bear? Rosa wondered, maybe had Old Grandmom mixed heroin or something in his hunny? She decided to run after.
At the same time a stone's throw away, Bamse went along with his two prisoners. Both thought: "Isn't Bamse the world's most nicest bear? Shouldn't he put us down on the crown of the trees?"
But Bamse had other use of this two figures...
...and continued to walk against his little house where he thought that his mean wife and 4 children was waiting for him. Tramse had planned to come back, finish the hunny and in that way take over the world. But when Tramse came in through the door of his home, he discovered that someone had kidnapped his wife and children. He got devistated (because even evil persons have feelings) and decided to dump the 'take-over-the-world-plans' for a while to go and look for his family. Unfortunately Tramse was a clever bear so he tied his two prisoners by two chairs before he left them alone in the house.
Anakin and Yoda sat quiet because they didn't know what to do. Suddenly something came down with a thud in open fireplace!
What? Is Santa Claus allready coming? Anakin thought, but it was just Rosa who had taken the way through the chimney. She released Anakin and Yoda and they sneaked out through the door and was hoping that Tramse wasn't nearby. They ran through the dark forrest, but there...
...they found Tramse, who was sitting on a stump, crying.
Rosa went up to him and laid her arm around his shoulders.
I am sure you'll find your family, she said and Tramse stopped crying, struck with wonder over the kindness which Rosa showed him. Nobody had never been so nice to Tramse and that's why he got so mean. After a while's considering, Rosa said;
- If you want to, you can come with us and look for the crow, then we can look for your family at the same time.
Tramse brightened up and...
decided to join. The little gang went on through the forest while they were singing the theme song to "Friends". But then suddenly....
...Ewan McGregor jumped forward with Nicole upon his heals, singing on a song by Elton John. The came to a deadstop when they saw Anakin and Yoda.
Anakin stared angry at Ewan, because he didn't like his arrogance in Moulin Rouge.
Yoda asked Nicole and Ewan about help to find the crow, so even these two joined the group and they all continued in the direction to the Mont of Doom where they assumed that the crow should be...
But there was still a long way to go. You could only see the Mount as a shadow on the horizon.
Suddenly they heard a uproar on the side of the path they were following. Tramse jumped high and acted almost like Little-Bound, but Anakin took bravely a step forward and in between the trees to see what it was who disturbed their journey with his now lime-green lightsword drawn.
- Oh, I think I've broken something! They heard someone moon from inside...
...It was the friend of us all, Elijah who had decided to take a little look at the view from one of the trees but then a little bit clumsy had fallen down. But Ewan was quickly there and bandaged Elijah's wound. (He had retrained himself to a doctor after Satine had died, he didn't want anybody else to lose their love because of some disease as he had done himself in Moulin Rouge.) Anakin thought it would be nice to have some of the same age with him on the journey to the Mount of Doom, and that's why he invited Elijah on the trip.
- But I can't walk with all my injuries, said Elijah who allways was a little bit of a pussy when he was ill and mummy wasn't there.
- it's OK, answered our hero. I can get you to sway ahead us with my jedi-strenghts!!
Recultant, Elijah agreed to the proposal (he did want to come home to his mother) and the group continued their journey but then suddenly...
...by the horizon they saw the big crow and they was just about to draw their swords when Elijah...
...got so refractory against the jedi-strenghts so that he fell into a pathetical heap ahead them on the path and hurt himself even more. He also screamed to high heaven, so that the crow heard them and disappeared.
Anakin loudly sighed. Elijah is ruining everything. So he rang to a spacecab which could take Elijah home again to his mother. As a last greeting he said...
Anakin said Oh No, not orcs.
Damn shit!
Anakin realised that Elijah wasn't so bad at that thing, you know, fighting and invited him to fight against the orcs, he did have the most experience of them all. Tramse took a jar with dunderhunny which he had stealed from his brother and then everybody was ready to face the animals!
Everybody stood with their swords ready to strike and were waiting fot the orcs, but there weren't orcs who came out from the bushes. It was cancan-dances from the whorehouse (Moulin Rouge) in Paris. They had excaped from the duke who had bought the place after discovering his own talent in ballet. But now the dances had got sick of his fiddlering and left.
The got happy when they saw Ewan and Nicole. They knew them since before.
The dances joined the company and everybody waited for the duke (instead of orcs)...
Elijah looked peculiar on his sword, which now was more blueish than ever. It didn't use to react on dukes. This must be a very evil duke, or he has been inspired by Saruman and built an orcsarmy.
It started to sound crash and crack from the forest as if something big was approching...
The big something was Mace Windu who had become fat by all the food he had eaten on Burger King.
Everybody dropped their swords (Mace Windu did was a good jediknight) and started with a big hug-and-kissing-party. It was such a long time since they had seen eachother. Right then, the duke came at full galopp (balettsteps) with orcs close upon his heals. Elijah was right; the duke had followed in the footsteps of Sarumans and raised his own species with orcs. They could take ductile balettsteps at the same time as they were fighting. Anakin...
exclaimed: Oh no!! I don't know balett!!!
But he didn't have to do that because it turned out that the cancandances were a hell son-of-bithes- on kicking real high and at the same time pull their skirts off. It didn't take long time until all the orcs laid kicked down on the ground. Unfortunately, the duke had escaped and a was right now standing ahead of Anakin ready to fight...
Anakin drew his turquoisecolored lightsword (have you noticed that it has a capacity for shifting color every now and then?) and the duke took his magic wand. He had recieved it in a birthdaygift from professor Dumbledore for a long time ago. Just about when they were going to start trying to kill eachother, a Hoover-sailsment came strolling on the path. Anakin shouted as high as he could and jumped up into Tramse's arms. Everybody thought that something terrible had happened, so they also started to shout. You can figure how it sounds when Anakin, Tramse, Ewan, Nicole, Elijah, Yoda, Mace Windu, Rosa and thirty cancandances is shouting in the same time!
Then the duke took the opportunity to kidnap Nicole (she reminded him about a whore he had met on the whorehouse Moulin Rouge)...
Tramse sat down on a stone by the side so that he could comfort the terrified Anakin and he got to talk about his fear, which lead to that it atleast got a little better.
The rest stopped screaming when they saw what was coming, so they sat down and drank tee. (time for second breakfast) but suddenly they noticed that the duke and Nicole was missing.
Ewan started to cry copiously and scream noooooooooooooo Nicole!!
Anakin put his hand on Ewan's shoulder and said "Be brave my dear Ewan. We're going to fight for her and then we win and then you can marry her."
Ewan said "But I don't wanna marry her. I wanna marry the Hoover-sailsment. I was screaming because that Nicole got La Couer de la meer which my grandmother Rose gave me."
Rosa screamed.
- What!!! She shouted to Ewan. But old Rose is MY grandmother.
Rosa picked up her licens and showed it to the others. There was a terrible picture of Rose where she had braces and a lot of pimples in her face and next to it there stood with large capitals; ROSE DEWITT BUKATER DAWSON.
- B-but, Ewan stuttered, then we are sisters and brothers!
Rosa and Ewan hugged eachother, but then Anakin got jealous.
- Let go of him, your pizza-face! He said to Rosa...
Anakin continued, "You both are so stupid, just because that you have the same grandmother doesn't mean that you have to be brothers and sisters. You can just be cousins."
Rosa asked Ewan "Who were your parents?"
He said "It were Bert and Berta."
Rosa "Oh Fuck. Mine were Jim Carrey and the charwoman."

I've been lucky
By Lynn on Friday 17 January 2014, 20:38 - Permalink
My principal facebook hangout group these days is Feminist Mormon Housewives, and scarcely a day goes by when someone, and often more than one person, relates how she was abused — physically or sexually or emotionally or all at once, or… or… and often by a family member, often by a parent, sometimes by a spouse.
It was the same during Midwest Pilgrims and Exponent II retreats: so many women told of their suffering betrayal and hurt and grief and violence. Being LDS doesn't seem to prevent abuse: it seems to happen among the saints at the same rate as elsewhere (and in fact, authoritarian groups such as LDS, Inc. and evangelical churches have a somewhat higher rate of abuse than other populations). I found it all mind-boggling when I first started hearing women's stories. While I guess I've come to expect such revelations when such topics are raised, the number of women who have lived through awful childhoods still astonishes me.
—And makes me grateful that I had such a normal childhood, a normal family. I got spanked, yes, and sometimes even with a belt (and in retrospect, I think it was pretty unfair of my mom — unfair mostly to my dad — to have resorted to the threat of "wait till your father gets home"), but I was never sexually abused, never beaten, never a victim of gross negligence. Surprising how rare "normality" has turned out to be among the friends of my youth.
The cycle of violence and abuse is tough to deal with. Far too many parents end up parenting according to the way they were brought up, though of course there are variations and differences, and with a lot of effort, there can be many deliberate differences. For example, my mom's parents quarreled and bickered endlessly, to the point where she was too embarrassed to ever have friends over. (And even as a small child, I did not like going over to grandma and grandpa's for that reason.) My mom was absolutely determined that she and my father would not act like that in front of us kids, and they did not. I rarely saw them disagree, and never saw them fight at all.
But there was and still is a little bit of a mean streak, I guess, in my mom. I think of how she would call my sister "the pimple farm"… to her face. I can't imagine saying something like that to anyone, much less a child of mine. —That said, Lord knows I yelled and said many things that must have scared or wounded my children, particularly when I was battling depression (sleeplessness and irritability, that was me). — Indeed, if I could go back and have a do-over, I'd yell less… and hug more. I came from a fairly undemonstrative family: although my parents — my dad in particular — were lovey-dovey with one another, we did not hug much or kiss much or cuddle or snuggle.
I wanted to be a more demonstrative mom than my mom, but I didn't succeed at that, I very much regret to say. So yeah — less yelling, more hugging, that's what I'd do if I could turn the clock back.
But to return to the original thought: I'm lucky to have grown up with good parents. Thanks, mom and dad.

Hello, everyone. I hope you are all doing as well as I am. I've been helping a friend paint his house and what should have taken 6 days only took four, thanks to my sons and buddy Greg. We've been going in early and working late every day this week, plus, I have been doing Waltz classes two nights a week with my daughter, Lori, so we can dance together at her Prom. And, I sang at my grandmother's church today at noon for a luncheon. AND, I have been preparing for a rehearsal for another concert in Owensboro, having to learn 20 new songs. You'd think at my age I'd slow down, wouldn't you?
So, now you know why I haven't blogged in a few days. I am working on a new series of blogs concerning some of the crazy things I've been reading lately for diabetics and dieters. I will begin posting those tomorrow, but tonight I just wanted to touch base and let you know I did not fall off the face of the planet. And, since Jimmy Moore from Livin' La Vida Low Carb listed my blog as one of his favorites and suggested you read it, I thought I'd better get my rear in gear and write something.
I will say, before I go (it's bedtime), that even though we were painting all day this week, we were still able to eat low carb. Lisa, my lovely wife, who has a wonderful blog called in the low carb kitchen with Lisa, made us all a tasty low carb lunch and supper every day this week. Please be sure to check out her blog and her delicious recipes.
Well, I'm going to bed now, so, be sure to check back tomorrow. See ya!
