Now You Can Shop For Shoes From Anywhere With The Zappos Android App
There is no doubt that mobile commerce is heating up. The market is expected to be a multi-billion dollar sector in 2011 and eBay, Amazon and many other online retailers are launching designated apps for smartphone platforms. Zappos has furthered its footprint in m-commerce with the launch of an Android app.
Similar to the online retailer's iPhone and iPad apps, you can search, browse, read reviews, share, and buy shoes, handbags, clothing, jewelry and more via the app. Purchasers get the same benefits of shopping on Zappos.com, including a 365-day return policy and 24-7 customer support. Of course, Zappos is known for its customer service and has a dedicated team covering support for mobile sales.
Zappos is owned by e-commerce giant Amazon, who bought the retail site for for $1.2 billion in 2009. It's no secret that parent company Amazon is bullish on mobile commerce, and has launched a number of mobile apps that enable a more seamless shopping experience on the go. Zappos only launched its iPhone and iPad apps in late 2010, so the retailer is still relatively new to the mobile market.
But considering the rise of m-commerce and the popularity of Zappos' shopping portal, I'm going to guess that its mobile apps will be a hit.

People Person – Dumb Supper
Dumb Supper is an EP of remastered demos by the buzz pop group, People Person, from South Carolina. The cover photo is both ironic and misleading, showing about ten people joining hands. The music sounds too minimal for a quartet. Their singer, adorable fraggle blond, Jessica Oliver, is reminiscent of Kim Deal transitioning between the Pixies and Breeders. "I'm Slimy" recalls "Gigantic", a classic Pixies track; both songs relate in the same deceiving simplicity of pop-punk. Jessica's vocals are buried beneath the static transmission of guitars to where her lyrics are near unintelligible. Perhaps a keen enough ear will catch one or two words—not that those foggy depths of punk distortion ever trapped Kurt Cobain. Speaking of Nirvana, "Fallout" dives in like "About A Girl" and later treads into Breeders' Last Splash era.
Despite its murky mixing, Dumb Supper is a fun record; a punk party of chatty cymbals, intoxicating choruses and periods of sobering doubt before a second wind of revelry kicks in. "Astoria" and "It Bugs Me, It's Nothing" both slow down the binger with sludging guitar feedback, female harmonies and watery vocals. Specifically, on "Astoria" the drummer may have slipped outside for a cigarette. Which was a good idea. Loud drums would've crashed a makeout session on the couch.
"Portions For Fatties" adorns the same old demo dress. What can be done with a demo? If the song is good, it's good. Studio mastering may hem the dress into an imitation like Abercrombie & Fitch, whereas "Up & Done It" passes for a recorded rehearsal, the most stripped down number of the project. The EP closes with its finest, "Frances", a dreamy ballad that flirts with a Lilith Fair fantasy: if Kim Deal ever replaced Hope Sandoval.

LED Lighting Case Study – Germany
Under Cabinet Lighting
(Germany) For under cabinet lighting, normal light sources are not suitable since they are wide beam lighting. LED lighting is the best choice for under cabinet lighting since it emits directional light and can concentrate the light on the specified area. This case is about under cabinet lighting in Germany.
Since under cabinet lighting is down lighting and accent lighting, LED down lighting solution will be the best option for it. The house owner developed a set of requirements for any potential solution. He wanted a solution that would meet or exceed the light output and light quality of incandescent and fluorescent lighting. And he wanted a solution that could be easily installed without having to replace the existing fixtures.
After communicating with FOBSUN sales person and engineer, they determined to use FOBSUN LED lighting solution, and FOBSUN FCL-D9076-3W-H LED down light was chosen as the final solution.
The house owner installed 20 pieces of FOBSUN FCL-D9076-3W-H LED down lights in the kitchen as shown in the table below. The table also shows the hours of operation for each installation.
# Incandescent Wattage Location Hours/year
8 20w Cabinet 4380 hours
Business Case Analysis
The house owner conducted an analysis to determine the economic feasibility of using FOBSUN LED lighting. This analysis considered several factors including,
Energy savings
Capital cost
Maintenance savings
Reduction of hazardous materials
Energy Savings
Energy savings was the original driver for this project, and the savings were expected to be significant using the latest LED lighting technology. Compared to incandescent bulbs, each of the FCL-D9076-3W-H lights consumes 3 watts. Using the hours of operation and incandescent wattage from the table above, the energy savings are as follows:
Incandescent lamps: 700.8kwh/year
FOBSUN FCL-D9076-3W-H LED lights: 105.12kwh/year
Savings: 595.68kwh/year
The house owner pays $0.17/kwh for its electricity yielding an annual savings of $101.2656.
Capital Cost
The capital cost of the LED down lights for this project was $300.
Maintenance Savings
The long service life of the FCL-D9076-3W-H down lights eliminates the maintenance cost associated with changing light bulbs (the replacement bulb cost and the associated labor). The approximate maintenance cost savings is $100/year using very conservative estimates for the labor and lamp costs.
Using the estimates above, the calculated time to payback for this project is slightly less than 1.5 years. Using only the energy savings, the time to payback is slightly less than 3 years.
Future Plans
The house owner is very pleased with the light quality and the appearance of the FCL-D9076-3W-H lights, and has identified additional applications for the product in order to increase energy savings.

The station has easy access to all trains and just a short walk from one platform to the other. The service on board TGV Lyria is great with clean comfortable seating and plenty of baggage spaces.

With both Steve and Mark being in Disneyland Paris last week, neither had time to chase down any news and rumours for this episode, though there is the exquisitely worded Disneyland Paris Halloween 2016 press release which got discussed. The meat of the shows features an interview with Star Wars writer and Disney fan Amy Ratcliffe, who after hosting at Star Wars Celebration Europe took a day trip to Disneyland Paris. Hear the thoughts of someone whose home park is the original Disneyland, and what Amy made of Ratatouille, Pirates of the Caribbean, Phantom Manor and how she was duped onto Crush's Coaster. One thing was missed during our chat, and I'm directly quoting Amy for all of you to read here: I realized I forgot to say how much I loved the DLP version of a dole whip :) That being Pineapple Whip, the subject of much contention these past few months.

By Mary Wisniewski
CHICAGO (Reuters) - The central United States braced for severe thunderstorms that could produce tornadoes and baseball-sized hail on Tuesday, weather forecasters said.
Strong morning thunderstorms across southwestern South Dakota were expected to increase in number and severity throughout the day in central and eastern Nebraska, northern Missouri, southern Iowa and southwestern Illinois, said forecaster Bill Bunting of the national Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
Bunting said the strongest storms could produce tornadoes, with the possibility of a tornado rated EF-2 or higher, with winds peaking at 135 mph (217 kph) or more. The main concern is damaging winds of 60-80 mph (97-129 kph), he said.
"This is a fairly widespread severe weather day and it's not the end of it," Bunting said.
Nebraska could see baseball-sized hail, he said.
The storms were expected to move into eastern Missouri, central Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia on Wednesday, Bunting said.
AccuWeather.com said the storms could bring 2 to 4 inches (5-10 cm) of rain, with possible flash flooding in some areas. In the long run, the rain will benefit parts of the central Plains that have been abnormally dry, AccuWeather.com said.

"The best of these essays are filled with a warmth, humor, and vitality I associate with the Italian spirit. Although they express the difficulty gay men have had in reconciling their sexuality with the Italian American identity, they testify over and over again to how familial love ultimately trumps the prejudices of religion and the tyranny of tradition. The embrace of family bonds may be slow in coming, but all the more passionate for the wait." –David Bergman, Author of Gay American Autobiography: Writings from Whitman to Sedaris, and Professor of English, Towson State University
"Gay Italian-American voices have often been marginalized, but here they're assembled in all their passion, humor, poignancy, and personal vision. Mangia!" –Michael Musto, Columnist for The Village Voice
"An amazing collection of essays that finally addresses an experience so many of us share. Evocative, moving, and entertaining, Our Naked Lives brings forth the stories of so many of us who've often felt left out in gay culture as well as in Italian-American culture, while simultaneously celebrating the richness of both." –Michelangelo Signorile, Editor-at-Large of The Huffington Post Gay Voices and SiriusXM Radio Host
"Our Naked Lives made me laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. The essays include history, humor, religion; they are memoirs infused with poetry. These stories are poignant, timeless, and brutally honest. An enjoyable read and a welcomed addition to Italian American Studies and the LGBTQI community." –Teri Ann Bengiveno, Professor of History and Women's Studies, Las Positas College
"In a community where queerness is celebrated and bonds have often been enhanced by choice of friendship rather than by birth and blood, cultural heritage has been woefully overlooked. The men of Our Naked Lives come out as loud and proud—of their identification as gay and Italian American. This collection of essays and reflections shows the strength and beauty of our family trees, whose stubborn roots push beyond the paved path and reach up to wave flags of their own. We'd be remiss not to take notice and pay homage, no matter our own orientation or origin." –Bryan Borland, Editor of Assaracus: A Journal of Gay Poetry
"Editors Joseph Anthony LoGiudice and Michael Carosone have put together an extraordinary collection of essays on what it's like to grow up and live one's life proudly as Italian American and gay. The two present, through their own moving stories and the stories of the other talented men who contributed to this volume, a fascinating glimpse into the households of Italian American families. This book should be on everyone's priority reading list, including members of the LGBT community and the leaders and members of the National Italian American Foundation." –Lou Chibbaro Jr., Senior News Reporter of The Washington Blade
"What a gift these essays are! They range widely from the most desperate moments of a gay child's life to the exhilaration of finding the courage and the community to live freely and expansively. As an Italian American woman, I found many pieces of myself in these stories, and they tell me clearly, with grace, anger, and generosity those necessary stories that nobody was supposed to know. The writers are, as Ginsberg said of Whitman, 'courage teachers.' May they be widely read!" –Geraldine DeLuca, Writer and Editor of Dialogue on Writing, and Professor Emerita of English, Brooklyn College
"Our Naked Lives moved me with a sense of immediacy while harkening back to the writing of the late Robert Ferro. Reminiscences by several generations of Italian-American gay men are evocative as the memory of my Aunt Angie's calamari; yet, authors do not airbrush struggles for identity, acceptance, and love. The essays illuminate, inform, and challenge the reader and eschew stereotypes. Reflections on intersections of gender, class, and ethnicity make this collection a must-read for gender and ethnic studies courses." –Mark Gianino, Clinical Associate Professor, Boston University School of Social Work
"These essays do not shy away from tough topics like sexual orientation or racial prejudice in the United States. These voices can be heard throughout all of the pieces, always present, always narrating. These are accurate portrayals of what it means to be a cross-section of Italian-American and gay. You hold in your hands a book written by experts. Read it with the knowledge that you will know more today than you did yesterday." –Shaun Knittel, Associate Editor of Seattle Gay News
"The notion of what 'pride' means in the 21st century, and all of the challenges, complexities, and possibilities that come with our individual and collective journeys towards it have been exponentially expanded with the publication of these beautiful essays. Our Naked Lives reveals the rich, diverse identities and experiences of gay Italian-American men, which, until now, have remained almost entirely unknown to the rest of the world." –Noah Michelson, Editor of The Huffington Post Gay Voices
"If you are looking for a singular voice in Our Naked Lives, you might be disappointed. The stories feel connected, by themes of family, religion, class, and behavior, but like stories of any community, things are never simple. Contradictions abound and memories vary. For one storyteller, a stereotypical Italian male persona is an impossible model to follow; another finds comfort behind a peacock image. One writer finds some traditions smothering, while another wades through the madding crowd of holidays and family to focus on one person, as one writer tells us, a grandmother, for inspiration and humanity. This collection is like that good grandmother, who understands the value of certain traditions, while recognizing that all members of our family must be free." –Louis Pizzitola, author of Hearst Over Hollywood
"From Florida to Philly, from Rome to Bensonhurst, gay Italian-American writers share their collective experiences to find acceptance with their families and for themselves. While their journeys may differ, a common bond remains, forged from heartache and loss, defiance and love." –Jim Provenzano, author of the Lambda Literary Award winner Every Time I Think of You
"This eclectic collection of 14 essays chronicle the navigation of Gay and Italian American identities. The comings out of these Gay Italian American men, in all their shapes and sizes, vividly show the urgency of challenging that long held Italian American belief in what Carosone calls 'the transformative powers of omerta.'" –Paul Schindler, Editor-in-Chief of Gay City News
"Our Naked Lives is among the most moving books I have read. You don't have to be Italian American, Catholic, formerly Catholic, gay, or gay-friendly to appreciate this important gem. Soul-baring, brave, and honest, these gay Italian American men's stories will resonate with anyone who has ever felt diminished, ostracized, marginalized, humiliated, embarrassed or 'other' simply for being who he was born to be. Out of the closet and into the classroom, Our Naked Lives should be required reading in myriad Queer and Ethnic Studies programs. Thank you, gentlemen! You brought me tears of laughter. You brought me tears of pain. Basta cosi. May Our Naked Lives help bring us to a time when no one needs to cry." –Karen Tintori, author of Unto the Daughters: The Legacy of an Honor Killing in a Sicilian American Family, St. Martin's Press

Ahhh, pink pants are so fun! You will rock them :)Delete
I have a pair of emerald green pants that I love, such a bright way to change up a traditional outfit. Have a great weekend!
Your comment makes me want emerald jeans! Hope your weekend is the best :)Delete
I have always loved color but for some reason have a hard time wearing colored denim, even white. Have a great weekend!
You could SO pull it off, Jodi! Hope you have an amazing weekend, as well!Delete
Oh how I wish my office participated in Casual Friday. I love colored denim! I swear I have at least 7 pairs of colored jeans.
Love the Lillys! I saw the cutest pair of floral jeans a J Crew Factory a few months ago and I was too chicken to buy them! Printed pants feel bold to me but I love them on other people. Maybe I'll give them a second chance.

Pino in turnaround since circuit switch
NEW ORLEANS - You could say Mike Pino's training career was at a crossroads two years ago, but that would not be completely accurate. It was more like a dead end.
Pino was just plugging along at the Bowie Training Center in Maryland, training eight mediocre horses at the rather dilapidated Bowie. Pino, who had been a Maryland regular since taking out his training license in 1983, decided to move to Delaware Park in April 2000. Since then, his career has not been the same.
Pino, 39, now has 32 horses in training, many of them for super-owner Richard Englander. Even counting Ten Keys, a horse that brought Pino his proverbial 15 minutes of fame in the late 1980's by winning major turf stakes and over $1.2 million, the decision to leave Maryland has been the best thing ever to happen to his career.
Last year, Pino's horses won 81 races and $1,648,769 in purses, easily career highs. Although he mostly deals in claimers and allowance horses, he has the occasional horse for stakes races. Unreal Party and Stars in His Eyes rank among his current runners with stakes potential, said Pino, whose older brother Mario has ridden nearly 4,500 winners in a sensational career in Maryland.
Pino said he will continue to make a year-round circuit of Delaware and Fair Grounds. "Making the move was a big, big move for me," said Pino. "The first year at Delaware, picking up Richard obviously was a big help, and everything kind of snowballed from there. It's really picked me up."
O'Callaghan thinking repeat
Don't bother asking what Niall O'Callaghan has in mind for Tijiyr for the rest of the year. In relative terms, it's secondary to what has been an obvious goal for some time for the horse: a repeat victory in the $700,000 Explosive Bid Handicap on March 24.
"I just want to get him to the Explosive Bid in the best shape possible," said O'Callaghan. A race like the Woodford Reserve Classic on Kentucky Derby Day, he said, "might have more prestige as a Grade 1, but the money's twice as much as here, and obviously he likes this track." Tijiyr has won both starts here. "So the Explosive Bid is all we're thinking about right now."
Tijiyr, owned by Gary Tanaka, is winless in five races since capturing the Grade 2 Explosive Bid last March at 9-1. He has been bothered by a string of minor ailments, including what O'Callaghan called "jamming up" when he finished 10th of 12 starters in the Tropical Turf Handicap at Calder on Dec. 8.
Tijiyr then finished fourth in the Jan. 5 Appleton Handicap at Gulfstream in his next start, a race that O'Callaghan hopes will set him up for a winning race Saturday as the probable favorite in the $150,000 Fair Grounds Breeders' Cup Handicap.
"In the Appleton, he was last after a half-mile in 49 and change," said O'Callaghan. "I don't care what kind of horse you have, that kind of setup is not going to be in your favor."
O'Callaghan said he strongly believes Tijiyr is ready to run very well Saturday. "I believe I've got him pretty good right now," he said.
Cadman coming back - in the mornings
Zoe Cadman, who last year was the top apprentice here with 13 wins, will be back at Fair Grounds soon, but probably not to ride races. Cadman, who since has lost her apprenticeship, has been vacationing in Hawaii and visiting family in England since the Hawthorne meet ended Jan. 1, said her former agent, Bobby Kelly.
"Zoe said she's going to come in and get on some horses in the morning before going back to Sportsman's Park" in Chicago, said Kelly. Sportsman's starts March 1.
Stewart stars gearing up
The best horses in the Dallas Stewart barn are just now gearing back up for their 2002 campaigns.
Stewart reported that Dollar Bill has had one five-furlong breeze, Unbridled Elaine has had two half-mile workouts, Sweet Nanette has had two five-furlong breezes, and Nasty Storm is back galloping after getting a rest.
Crafty Shaw likely to stay at Oaklawn
Crafty Shaw, winner of the Diplomat Way Handicap here Jan. 20, probably is going to stay at Oaklawn Park to run in preps for the Grade 1 Oaklawn Handicap.
Mike Mackin, whose family owns Crafty Shaw, said Thursday the colt could return here for the $500,000 New Orleans Handicap on March 3, but "it'd have to come up pretty light for us to do that. We're probably looking more at the Essex and Razorback, although we could roll the dice and come back there."
Crafty Shaw, trained by Pete Vestal, beat a solid field that included Drewman, E Z Glory, and Parade Leader in the Diplomat Way.
Melancon rues loss of Guided Tour
Veteran jockey Larry Melancon was just standing there on the backstretch, minding his own business one morning in late December when Frank Brothers rode past on horseback and gave him the bad news.
Melancon had been unaware that Guided Tour had died Dec. 21 because of a fatal injury suffered in a race in Saudi Arabia.
"What a hand he was," said Melancon, who rode Guided Tour almost exclusively the last two years, when the gelding earned the bulk of a career total of nearly $2 million. "Boy, do I miss him."

South Korea: How Drug Use Can Lead to Deportation
On December 30, 2015, a (Korean-American) female entertainer was deported from South Korea. The backstory:
1. In 2012, she was found guilty of possession and use of Propofol. (She stole ampoules from a clinic and later injected one at a nail salon.) The Chuncheon District Court sentenced her to 8 months in prison (but 2 years probation). Probation means she did not have to actually spend time in jail. (Well, she was in a cell during trial.) The court also ordered 40 hours of community service and 24 hours of drug rehab classes.
2. In 2014, she was found guilty of possession and use of Ambien (while on probation for the above crime). The Seoul Central District Court fined her 5 mil won. According to reports, she had received 85 tablets of Ambien from a person she was taking the court-ordered drug rehab classes with. (She used 15 of them.) She, at the time, claimed she had prescriptions for Ambien but decided not to appeal the guilty decision.
In early 2015, the Seoul Immigration Office ordered that she leave the Republic of Korea. (This must have been unexpected for her, or else she would have by all means appealed the 2014 guilty decision.) The legal grounds for the order must have been (at least) one of the following:
1. A contagious patient, a narcotics addict or other persons deemed likely to cause danger and harm to public health.
2. A person deemed highly likely to commit any act detrimental to the interests of the Republic of Korea or public safety.
3. A person deemed highly likely to commit any act detrimental to the economic/social order or good morals.
At any rate, she tried hard to revoke the order via suit. The trial and appellate courts both rejected her claim. Some reports say, the courts sided with immigration (especially) because of the impact she had on the public + it seemed unlikely she was (now) going to abide the law. In November 2015, she could've appealed (one last time) to the Supreme Court, but she decided not to. So she had to leave by the end of the year.
Note: In this post, I use the terms "deported" and "deportation" broadly. Technically speaking, there exist: Recommendation for Departure (출국권고) – Departure Order (출국명령) – Deportation Order (강제퇴거명령). So technically, she received a Departure Order (which she abided by).
Tidbit: According to the Korean Ministry of Justice, over 100,000 have been deported from South Korea during the five years, 2010 – 2014.
Did You Know? You can even be deported for crimes of violence.
[Seoul High Court; Reported on March 10, 2015]
A Chinese national (of Korean descent) residing in South Korea was ordered to leave the country via a "departure order" issued by immigration. (He would also not be able to re-enter for one year.) The "departure order" was issued when the Chinese national applied for a F-4 visa. (He had an expiring H-2 visa.) The reasoning for issuing the order was that he was "implicated in crime at least 3 times in the last 5 years." (They were all crimes of violence.) The order was issued even though he was convicted only once. The two other times, he was able to reach a settlement with the victims and as a result avoided prosecution. The Seoul High Court reversed the lower court decision which had found the order invalid/unlawful. The Seoul High Court reasoned that the immigration office has wide discretion regarding such matters and wide discretion is indeed necessary for national public safety purposes. (Link)

Throughout their entire transition Brandjes acknowledges the important role Headsets Direct has played.
Prescott, AZ (PRWEB) February 24, 2010
Eric Brandjes, Director of Manufacturing of Advanced Microscopy Group (AMG), is in the middle of the company's impressive expansion. A new 25,000 square foot office/warehouse in Washington state and additional off-site employees to support a new class of distribution for the company's industry-leading line of integrated fluorescence microscopes keep his plate pretty full these days. No recession here!
"Our mantra throughout this transition has been communicate, communicate, communicate," says Brandjes. "We're more spread out at our new headquarters, we have new employees in remote offices and a new class of customer that needs training and support. A big part of our being able to pull this off has been the new VoIP telephone system and the wireless telephone headsets our people use."
The VoIP telephone system (Voice over Internet Protocol) replaces wires and switches with the internet. Now, every employee is as close as an extension number, whether they're down the hall or across the country.
The company believes this creates a more seamless customer experience. A customer can be anything from a college biology lab to a top scientific, health care or safety research facility. If a customer needs to place an order, ask a technical question or check order status, they call one phone number. The AMG people who respond might be in New York City, Washington state or somewhere in between, but the customer would never know it.
Telephone headsets also play a role. Again, Brandjes, "We're basically an engineering and manufacturing company, so we generally look to technology to help solve problems. We've been believers in telephone headsets almost since we started the company 15 years ago. With the new phone system we have encouraged a broader range of employees to use wireless headsets, and it hasn't taken much encouragement.
For AMG's Technical Support people such as Joshua Tewell, whose job it is to find answers for customers, his wireless headset makes everything he does "about 15% easier." Sometimes he's digging through a database on his computer, other times he's down the hall conferring with a product expert or out in the warehouse checking on a part. "I couldn't do what I do without my headset. I can go where I need to go and do what I need to do to resolve the issue with the customer on the phone." adds Tewell.
Paula Delasandro, a member of the AMG Global Sales team, also appreciates her wireless headset, but it wasn't always the case: "I discovered headsets in 1998, and back then, they were a 'ball and chain' for a job like this. The wireless headset I use now is the best I've had. I'm hands-free and I can walk over to a microscope and trouble-shoot with a customer or field sales rep. Nine times out of ten I can do what I need to do on the call without a callback."
Throughout their entire transition Brandjes acknowledges the important role Headsets Direct has played. Headsets Direct, Inc., is a stocking distributor for Plantronics telephone headsets. Brandjes, "They recommended multiple headsets for each of the positions we needed to equip and worked with us to make sure everyone had the right headset, right down to wearing style and settings. They're knowledge and support have been indispensable."
Innovative companies are finding ways to grow and compete in some surprising places. Can telephone headsets enhance the customer experience and improve productivity? Can a vendor like Headsets Direct be a leverage point to help a company expand? In the case of high-flyer AMG, the answer is yes!

Sumesele the foregoing the invasion of stationery and noises that bring a choice in the city where half the population tries to run for something. And an ability to concentrate not to exceed 15 minutes of clock. For all that and a few things later months to read "Big Sur", did not want to miss a word but in the end …. Well, wait a minute, I have to start from scratch. As a teenager fell into my hands, "On the Road", a novel that was already making sales records back in the '60s, when he was in my hands were all about something else, "Love and Peace" was a thing of the past
The '80s were characterized by a lack of social commitment that continues to date, the '70s were rather existentialist, but this is not a universal history of literary trends therefore have to focus on Jack Kerouac. As I said to read "On the Road" is considered the Bible was for beatniks, hyppis, pacifists remaining counted on the fingers, as most had left his headband of daisies for a haircut and make a good successful business. Nobody notice that this first novel Keroauc meant more than what I was reading, or whether I just turned a good story of a journey that makes a type to be discovered, with the special touch Eastern mystical subjects, to talk about marijuana and free love which was not unrelated to my knowledge he was a regular reader of Henry Miller who admired more than the Milanese with fries.

The Cross of Christ Is the Wisdom of God
How do you react to something that doesn't make sense? It's all too easy to sit in judgment, to shake your head and call it foolishness – simply because it doesn't make sense to you, because it is an offense to your wisdom. To many, the message of the cross is offensive and foolish. 'Is there really something that wrong with humanity, that bad in me, that it took God in the flesh, nailed to a cross, to save me?' When we're full of ourselves, the cross is foolish and offensive to us; self is the enemy of the cross.
Have you ever noticed that those who come to the cross of Christ are the weak, the broken, the despised, the nothings, the 'foolish'? Count me in! For when you see your need for the cross of Christ, you will never lose the wisdom of the cross, and you will never lose the certainty of salvation. "This is what God in His wisdom decided: Since the world did not find Him through its own wisdom, He used the message that sounds foolish to save those who believe it." (I Corinthians 1:20-25) You are wise to hold on to such foolishness. Come and see that THE CROSS OF CHRIST IS THE WISDOM OF GOD.
Come visit us at CHRIST OUR REDEEMER for more of this message of God's grace!

By Jay Forte, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Access to the newly-revitalized Orla Conde walking path, open to the public until recently, has now been restricted by the Brazilian Navy. The 3.5 kilometer long corridor stretches the length of what was the Olympic Boulevard, running from the National Historical Museum and Candelária to the Museu do Amanhã (Museum of Tomorrow) in the Port Zone and Praça Mauá.
Barrier gates prevented public access to the space along the Guanabara Bay side, as well as on the other side where the city of Rio has installed public facilities for residents' leisure. Members of the public are now unable to access the tables, benches and the lawn.
Inaugurated just before the the Olympic and Paralympic Games with great fanfare, more than one million visitors passed through the Olympic Boulevard, according to government new sources.
In a statement, the Urban Development Company of the Port of Rio de Janeiro (DURP) reported that the public space was inaugurated on August 5th as a part of the Orla Conde walkway. The Largo da Candelária was revitalized and opened to the public after 250 years closed for exclusive use of the Navy, in agreement signed with the prefecture of Rio.
The area's closure has come as a grave disappointment to residents and tourist, as Rodrigo Braz Vieira, director of tour operator Bravietour explained that recently. Vieira said that the city had "completely reshaped the area, attracting a large number of visitors, even in a sunny hot Sunday when most of the population would rather go to the beach or to the parks and forests".
Vieira recommended visitors explore, "[a] walk passing the historical Praça XV and further, seeing the Candelária Church and admiring the structure used to hold the flame during the Summer Olympics Games, the path goes now under a bridge that connects the mainland to the island (Ilha das Cobras) where the command of the Brazilian Navy is located. This completely new path offers beautiful views of the Bay and the futuristic Museu do Amanhã."
Now as the barriers have gone up, the Special Secretariat for Concessions and Public-Private Partnerships (SECPAR), Jorge Arraes, contacted the Navy requesting that the revitalized area be reopened. Arraes, said yesterday (December 20th) that the city hall should reach an agreement regarding the closure of Olympic Boulevard area, in the stretch between the Museu do Amanhã, in Praça Mauá, and The Casa França Brasil, in Candelária.
Arraes said the agreement with the Navy was fulfilled. This agreement provided an assigned easement of passage to the city and, as a counterpart, the city hall would execute some works in the 1st Naval District. "We fulfilled what was agreed. We are returning to the Navy what was already its parking lot and we urbanized the rest of the area, which was validated by them."
Arraes said he did not know the reasons that led the Navy to surround the area for more than three weeks, in front of the Naval District and in front of the sea. "They also surrounded this stretch and we do not understand why."
The Navy's responding statement said that according to an agreement from 2014, after the closure of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the area in question should be returned to the Navy, properly urbanized and with the placement of colonial border in the original boundaries, undoing the temporary improvements.

Oh my what a challenge, we have for the Daily Prompt today, yes WordPress are asking the following: Language evolves. The meaning of a word can shift over time as we use it differently — think of "cool," "heavy," or even "literally."
Today, give a word an evolutionary push: give a common word a new meaning, explain it to us, and use it in the title of your post.
Well, today I think I will have to pick the word 'sick'. Now when something was sick to me, either in a joke or literal term it meant, vile, gross, disgusting.. or an illness. What a shock I had when I realised that in our youth today the word means, 'cool'.
And the only way I found that out was by my son, saying a song was 'sick' and I thought to myself on hearing the song, actually I like it and I like the words and the tune… so naturally I said to him, "What do you find in that song that makes you think it is vile?"
The shock and horror on my face when he replied, "I don't find it horrible, I like it."
'Right', I thought to myself, get on that computer and 'googleit' because there was no way I was going to admit to my son that I was now getting over the hill and not trendy… 😀
So my main word for this challenge today, has to be 'sick' but my newly created word is 'Googleit'.

I was travelling through 3 different countries today.
This trip has been inspired by many similar projects, the first was when I was a 16-year-old in 2013, when I became immersed in the Discovery Channel documentary of the British explorer, Ed Stafford, who made a Guinness World Record walking the entire length of the Amazon River – This was sensational and I just had to discover who else was walking long-distances and sharing their journey on the interwebs, so I had a search and found Christoph Rehage, a German in his late twenties, his walking line currently in Uzbekistan, who is walking from Beijing to his home town of Bad Nenndorf!
I was connecting 3 trains (and 1 bus) altogether: [BUS] Luxembourg City –> Thionville [TRAIN] –> Strasbourg | Strasbourg –> Offenburg | Offenburg –> Freiburg.
After dilly-dallying around the train station looking for a legendary German with a distinctly huge beard, I finally found Chris!
We proceeded to have some munchies at a Muslim restaurant, was beautiful!
It was a peculiar experience to be able to ask someone the same questions of significance regarding walking across countries as I was repeatedly asked. From inspirations, to how many blisters one can possibly accumulate, to backpack gram-shaving techniques – well, Chris uses his caboose, a trailer he pulls along behind him as he wanders from Beijing to Germany.
I am continually astounded at how technology has expanded our reach of possibility. Just 50 years ago, one would have thought what is commonplace now, to be within almost unfathomable realms.
I literally sent a bunch of 1s and 0s converted into pixels in the form of our written language to be viewed on a device ridiculously more powerful than the computers that sent man to the moon,(BIG-BREATH), to a person I was only aware of because some of my very pixels were given instruction to broadcast Christoph Rehage's story to my device, all via wireless fidelity radio waves. THAT SOME VOODOO SHIT MAN.
Because of this sorcery, I was able to meet one of the most incredible people on the planet. That is bloomin' brilliant.
Within an Irish Bar with all United Kingdom flags adorning the walls (SCOTLAND), whilst watching Bayern Munich destroy Arsenal 5-1 [ 🙁 ], we ended up drinking many German beers. Most of the room seemed to not be too amused with Bayern winning and Christoph was soon shouting 'Schizer' which I found gloriously hilarious. Chris's Chinese girlfriend dropped by for the last 2 hours too [I'm terribly sorry, but I just can't for the good of my noggin remember her name, she's lovely though!]. I was absolutely fascinated by their ability to converse with me in English, to the other punters + bar staff in German and to themselves in Chinese. INSPIRATION FOR LEARNING LANGUAGES, BRAH.
As, I say, many beers were consumed, so many that my Couchsurfing host Sebastian's calls were not heard buzzing away in my pocket and I believe he had given up on myself actually arriving at his home. Upon checking my phone some time later, I felt like quite the spoon – but hey! I think I was a little justified as I was getting drunk with a bad-ass Continent walker 😉
Chris's photo ^_^
I eventually made it to Sebastian's around 1.10am and he surprisingly didn't get mad at me, however he certainly wasn't up for some laughs, that's for sure. I was a right rude chap to him not arriving on time, I must say – and I apologised profusely. He still delivered exceptionally well with a double bed, the wi-fi code and instruction on the whereabouts of the bathroom etc., whilst evidently in a state that only occurs when some Scottish numpty wakes you up mid-sleep asking to sleep in your house.

I recently started some work experience with the Association of British Science Writers. As such, I appear in an article from the latest European Union of Science Journalists Association (EUSJA) newsletter (PDF). It's on page 10, but I've also reproduced the text here:
A popular option in the UK for students who complete a science degree is to look to science communication courses. Over the past six years there has been a growth in the number of universities offering MSc courses in science communication. Supporters say it gives young wannabe journalists a good start, critics say there are already too many freelancers on the market looking for work and not enough jobs to go around for existing hacks.
At the ABSW (Association of British Science Writers) so great was the demand for information about science journalism that we have started a new category of membership – student – and run a series of training workshops and briefings. A mentoring programme is now being investigated.
One of our newest members is 22 years old Jacob Aron, a maths graduate from Bristol. He is now enrolled on to a year long science communication course at Imperial College. Over now to Jacob to tell us why he decided on the course and what he hopes for the future:
"Although I studied maths at university I have always enjoyed writing in my spare time, so when I found the science communication MSc at Imperial it seemed like the perfect career for me. The course is set up to allow an overview of science communication; not just straight journalism, but also PR, museum curating, and even science fiction. As I'm still working out what are I want to move into, this broad approach was more appealing to me than the sister MSc (science media production) which is more broadcast focused.
"Going in to the course, I was concerned about the availability of jobs, especially considering I would be in direct competition with my forty-odd classmates once graduating. My fears were quickly put to rest however, as Imperial say that 60% of graduates end up in directly related science communication jobs, whilst 80 to 90% in total find work in PR and related areas.
"Without studying science communication, I'd be hard pressed to land any of these jobs. Looking at my CV an employee sees a maths degree and a stint working in a bank; not traditionally the makings of a good writer. The MSc is helping me to hone my skills and experience working in a range of media. Hopefully, I'll be able to find a job come this October – and it's not like the banks are recruiting these days anyway!"

Orenco's Marketing Department provides assistance to members of the media interested in contacting researchers, staff, or engineers. We can set up interviews and photography sessions, provide background information, and arrange for an article to be created on industry-related topics.
To the right, you'll find links to a variety of information about Orenco and our technology. The fact sheet and corporate history summary offer basic information about Orenco and its operation.
Contact Jennifer Wimber to be added to our mailing list for press releases and electronic media advisories. You can reach her via email.
SUTHERLIN, ORE., October 7, 2016 — For the second year in a row, an Orenco® Systems' wastewater installation has received a "Top Projects" award from Water & Wastes Digest magazine. Winners of this coveted award are selected based on the challenges presented by their projects and how they met those challenges.
This year's award-winning project is located in Vero Beach, Florida, a densely populated city adjacent to the Indian River Lagoon on Florida's east coast. Many of the city's on-lot septic tanks and drainfields were failing, and experts believed that nitrogen, phosphorus, and bacteria from these systems were contributing to the pollution of the watershed. To address these concerns, approximately 1,500 septic systems are now being replaced with an Orenco Sewer™ system.
Darren Paschke, a Project Manager in Orenco's Municipal Systems group, coordinated the project. "We are excited to be recognized again this year by Water & Wastes Digest," says Paschke. "The engineer in Vero Beach did his homework and, after analyzing several types of wastewater collection, determined that Orenco Sewer was the most cost-effective solution."
Robert J. Bolton, P.E., is the Director of Water and Sewer for Vero Beach. While researching various sewer options, he contacted other cities that had already installed Orenco Sewer. He found they were able to maintain their systems with minimal staffing and negligible maintenance issues. "At this point," says Bolton, "I determined that Orenco products led the industry." And, according to Bolton's calculations, the cost of installing an Orenco Sewer was less than half of what it would have cost to expand the city's gravity sewer system.
Orenco Sewers use underground tanks at each home to collect wastewater solids, with pump-outs needed only 7-10 years, depending on occupancy.i The liquid waste is pumped to a treatment facility. Energy requirements, operation and maintenance needs, and life-cycle costs for the system are all typically much less than those for a traditional gravity sewer system.ii
i Orenco Systems, internal tests, based on a 95% level of confidence.

SUTHERLIN, ORE., September 27, 2017 — Orenco Systems® will have a strong presence again this year at the Water Environment Federation's Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC), held September 30th through October 4th at McCormick Place in Chicago. The company's booth (#2812) will display all three of its interconnected, leading-edge product lines: Wastewater Collection & Treatment, Composites, and Controls.
Orenco Sewers™ are a cost-effective alternative to gravity or grinder sewer and the only pressure sewer technology that provides primary wastewater treatment. Solids are collected in an underground on-lot tank, while effluent is pumped away for treatment through small-diameter collection lines that require minimal excavation. The reduced organic load means both the size and cost of the treatment plant can be minimized.
Orenco's new STEP (septic tank effluent pump) package, featured in the booth, is a key part of an Orenco Sewer. This complete, high-quality package is ordered as a single line item, making it easy for engineers to specify. Its long-lifespan components include a meander tank for superior settling and a lightweight, highly dependable effluent pump with an affordable, 10-year limited warranty.
"Life-cycle cost analysis shows that Orenco Sewer is more affordable than either grinder or gravity sewer," says Bill Cagle, Business Development Manager. "Plus, our sewer solution allows municipalities and developers to defer capital costs with a build-as-you-go approach. And the new STEP tank makes installation and operation of an Orenco Sewer easier than ever."
WEFTEC visitors can also see a full-size cutaway of an AdvanTex® AX-Max™ Wastewater Treatment System, Orenco's recirculating packed-bed filter with a highly efficient, engineered textile treatment media. AdvanTex received WEF's 2011 "Innovative Technology Award" and is in use all over the world. The technology is known for its reliable treatment, small footprint, and low maintenance requirements.
Tristian Bounds, P.E., Orenco's Lead Research and Development Engineer, was selected by WEFTEC's education department to present a technical session about treating wastewater – both blackwater and greywater – for reuse purposes at or near the point of generation. This approach reduces demands on potable water resources and provides other environmental and economic benefits. Tristian's 30-minute presentation, "Responsible Water Recycling: Decentralized Solutions for Water Reuse," (session 219) will be on Monday, October 2nd, at 1:30 p.m. in room S403b.
Sharing booth #2812, Orenco Composites™ (orencocomposites.com), a division of Orenco Systems, will display a single-piece DuraFiber™ building. These buildings are made using a closed-molding construction process. They feature integral foam-core insulation, no seams, no wood, and no mechanical fasteners. Installation is quick and easy: just attach to a concrete pad and connect the power.
Orenco Composites will also display two of its other FRP products: tank covers and rectangular tanks. The close-molded covers have an integral foam core and are offered in multiple configurations. The tanks are manufactured using single-piece molded construction and are customizable with weirs, baffles, sloped floors, and many other options.
Rounding out the booth, Orenco Controls™ (orencocontrols.com) will have a selection of panels on hand, showcasing various control and monitoring capabilities. A stand-alone OLS Series panel will show off its sleek new design and logic controller. This panel has the same great features as always, but now includes cleaner interface graphics. OLS panels use variable-frequency drives (VFDs) that optimize system performance and reduce energy usage. A second OLS panel will be inside the DuraFiber building with the VFDs mounted on an inside wall, demonstrating an excellent method of eliminating heat rise and maintaining the integrity of an electrical control system.
Orenco Controls will also display four municipal lift station panels with various features and advantages, including a grinder panel that can handle difficult tie-in locations, an electromechanical duplex panel that can be manufactured on short notice for urgent jobs, a basic duplex panel that's economical but still offers logic and data logging, and a panel that uses Orenco's VeriComm® web-hosted monitoring service.
Based in Sutherlin, Oregon, Orenco Systems has been designing and manufacturing energy-efficient water and wastewater products since 1981. The company employs about 300 people and has more than 300 points of distribution worldwide. For more information, visit orenco.com.

"The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) installed an energy-efficient, graywater reuse
system for disposing of the graywater generated by the 336 shower buildings at its showcase camping and training facility, the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve ... An array of AdvanTex® AX20-RTs – 224 in all – and two AdvanTex AX-Max™ units process the graywater and treat it for reuse in toilet flushing." Read More >
"The onsite effluent sewer system installed at Stinson Beach, part of the United States National Park Service system, keeps the facilities running smoothly during peak season when visitors rise to 5,000 per day." Read More >
"VeriComm enables users to view data related to the performance of the system, any alarm conditions, and excessive use. The system is an effective tool in the septic industry toolbox for monitoring system performance and preventing problems." Read More >
"Increasing demands on the planet's limited fresh water supply are a source of immediate concern. In many places, demand exceeds supply. By implementing effective treatment technologies and reuse strategies, the effects of drought and population growth on water supplies can be alleviated. Decentralized water reuse solutions can play a pivotal role in water conservation and management. Properly treating waste-water – both blackwater and greywater – at or near the point of generation relieves pressure on potable water resources and provides many other environmental and economic benefits. Decentralized systems also minimize environmental footprints, increase opportunities for public education and awareness, and provide for a more sustainable future." Read More >
"Christiansburg, Ohio, was experiencing serious issues with failing onsite wastewater systems. Septage odors were common, especially after heavy rainfalls, and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) detected high levels of fecal coliform in nearby West Honey Creek in 2012. Village leaders stepped up their efforts to seek a cost-effective system for wastewater collection and treatment ..."
"After reviewing cost comparisons, [village] council members decided that an effluent sewer followed by packed-bed treatment was their most cost-effective option. It also offered the ease of operation that would enable the village to affordably manage its own facility." Read More >
"Pressure sewers can provide affordable service to municipalities, new subdivisions, and areas where gravity sewers are difficult and expensive to install. Effluent and grinder sewers are today's dominant pressure sewer technologies. When evaluating these two options, lifecycle cost analysis is an effective tool for comparison, especially when actual costs can be used."
"In 2010, the Water Environment & Reuse Foundation (WERF) developed two reliable resources for evaluating sewer technologies: (1) a "Wastewater Planning Model," allowing users to compare life-cycle costs and (2) a series of collection system "Fact Sheets" for different types of sewers, including design characteristics, performance, and cost estimates. When performing life-cycle cost analysis using WERF's documented figures, it's evident that pressure sewers can be an affordable option." Read More >
"Until recently, approximately 1,500 failing septic systems served large portions of Vero Beach. These systems were degrading the Indian River Lagoon adjacent to the city with excessive nutrient loads and pollution ..."
"Robert Bolton, director of water and sewer for the city of Vero Beach, began investigating other options. He settled on an Orenco effluent sewer system, also known as a Septic Tank Effluent Pump (STEP) system, which was estimated to cost $11 million in comparison to the original $22.5 million proposal [for gravity sewer]." Read More >
"The State of Iowa determined it was time to modernize the wastewater system in Woden, a cluster of homes in the rural north-central part of the state … The previous system consisted of individual septic tanks for each home, but they discharged into a ditch that ran into the channelized Lindsey Creek along the eastern side of Woden. Replacements are being ordered for direct discharge systems across the state.
"… Engineers from Jacobson-Westergard & Associates in Estherville, Iowa, designed a system to handle the community's wastewater without the expense of a small treatment plant. Each property received a 1,600-gallon concrete septic tank … These are dual-chamber tanks with half dedicated to settling and the other half housing an Orenco Systems model PF100511-30 effluent pump package with floats already in place. The tank provides settling and primary treatment.
"… Mains and lift stations move wastewater uphill to a lagoon about a half mile north of Woden, where tertiary treatment of the effluent occurs."

Hey everyone, just wanted to update you on the state of my blog and what to look forward in the near future. Although I was supposed to release a blog-post I have almost done in September, I have been too busy at work and school to find time to research and write. So that next post will have to wait a bit longer until things die down and I have some more free time. I am in the process of writing two different blog posts and have more on the way that I intend to write to you shortly. Here is a quick bullet-point list of the next 5 blog posts that are coming soon to you in the upcoming months.
- Discipled and How to Stay That Way: a quick look at what discipleship means after your mentor is done training you and the process there after.
- Why Do People Die and Why Do We Care?: a quick, two-page response to one of my personal inquires that I've wrestled with in my personal life.
- Mentors That Made Me A Man: An ongoing blog-post series that will focus on various mentors of mine, the lessons they taught me, and how they made the man I am today.
- Why I Am Pro-Life: A blog-post that defends my belief in pro-life versus pro-choice that is based entirely on biological investigation and other scientific knowledge presently available.
- Isolated Together: a reflection on how technology has changed humanity from being separated to now being overly connected through the advancements made in the last few decades.
Well, there you have it! The next 5 things I will be posting about in the near future (hopefully starting in October) that you get to look forward too for the time being. With that, Godspeed and Jesus bless!

Amazon Review – "Works as Advertised!"
Bought this to replace an older standard brush that failed. I was intrigued by the fin that was supposed to keep the brush on the wall. I am happy to say it worked as advertised. Brushing the pool is significantly easier with this brush than a standard one. I would recommend. TK (Amazon customer)

First seen at UA Progressives, this thread on Daily Kos from Paul Hackett is a call to action – mainly for others who could and would run and fight for progressive change:
Out of the hundreds of thousands who come here each day, I'm guessing we have some people who would make excellent public servants. You don't need a classical political pedigree to drive change, you just need to follow your heart, fight, and never give up.
Then the question. The big question. Would he run for Senate in 2006 or allow Brown and the Dems to push him out. We all sorta knew he'd be in:
I'm in the race. My message to Sherrod Brown is: "the water's nice, come on in."
by Paul Hackett
I have not really spoken out on the whole Hackett-Brown situation and won't do so in much detail here. Suffice to say I think it sends a bad signal to handle the situation as poorly as I think Sherrod handled it. This is good news, if for only the simple fact that we don't lose Hackett altogether. I hope they don't beat each other up too bad and that the people of Ohio choose the right guy. I think Hackett is the guy and is very electable…more on that later.
It occurs to me that Major Hackett's post brought back memories of the grenade range. Throw and duck…cuz this babies gonna blow!!

Everyone should have to have a pet. Man didn't spend thousands of years domesticating the dog in order for people to choose to defend their homes on their own. It's an insult to everything we worked so hard to establish.
And when I say "pet," I mean a large, bloodthirsty canine – not some little girly cat. A cougar, tiger, lion, or (to a lesser extent) jackal would be acceptable, but just make sure that it's able to break a bone with its jaws. Of course, it's even better to domesticate something else yourself, doing future generations a favor. It would rock to be the first person with a trained Tasmanian devil.
