It is the power of God working conversion in the lives of men (and women) as men choose to embrace the love of God in and through Christ's propitiation that was demonstrated for all. For God has indeed made Himself known – yet most will deny Him and deny His love. But those who truly embrace Christ are first to admit, even though their wills are free and active in making sound decisions, their power is grossly insufficient to craft a darkened sin laden heart into a new creation. And although God is indeed sovereign and omniscient, although the book of life has already been written, what man, woman or child, what beast or flower of the earth, what vast universe can attain such knowledge?
Therefore, in working under God's sovereignty, and working in His economy, we, that is those of us truly born again to new life, are constrained by the love of God to be witnesses, in love, mercy, patience, and humility to every person that we meet. Thus our hope is that more people will yet have their free will collide headlong with the person of Christ and the sovereignty and power of God. For to His glory that we labor, and that we would boast in Him, giving verbal mention and practical application of our lives to Christ His Son and His powerful working Spirit. For our will, regardless of its given freedom, is ever so temporal and will one day need be given account for by its owner.
Let us boast in our God and respond to our salvation by being good witnesses of His workings, salvations, graces and mercies. For who knows what man yet will come to embrace the constraining and powerful love of Christ.
"For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised." 2 Corinthians 5:14-15
Thought: If cancer radically destroys tissue and alters one's life, if an accident deforms our bodies, if the smallest of microscopic bugs can make one sick and can kill, how much more radically changed is the life of one who collides with the God of all creation, encounters the love of Christ and is convicted by His Spirit?

In lieu of the pragmatic or moral possibility of subjecting human culture and history to controlled laboratory examination, a comparative approach is one of our most important tools in attempting to come to an understanding of human experience and practices across historical and cultural contexts. One powerful and often useful way to do this involves the extension of words and concepts originally relating to one historical or cultural context to other settings where we find phenomena that are qualitatively similar in some essential way.
Shamanism, Taboo, Machismo
In the discipline of anthropology, there is a long history of theorizing and understanding cultural contexts in terms of concepts developed within the cultural context in question, but also of extending some of these concepts to apply them to other cultural settings as well. Some important examples include the extension of "shamanism," "taboo," and "machismo" to theorize a variety of cultural settings. (Other examples could include "fetishism," "swidden," or the use of vernacular English terms to understand similar phenomena in other cultures, e.g. the emphasis on "face" with regard to East Asian cultures, or "honor" and "shame" to conceptualize Circum-Mediterranean cultures.)
"Shamanism" is a word originating with Siberian languages, but has been applied to a variety of religious or spiritual phenomena involving individuals entering into trance or other altered states to interact with the supernatural world in a wide variety of Native American contexts, as well as with regard to cultural contexts in a number of Old World settings outside Siberia. "Taboo" is a term originating in Polynesia. Like "shamanism" it has been extended to a wide number of cultural and historical settings in reference to a variety of sorts of sacred prohibitions. "Machismo" is possibly a bit different in that there is some debate about whether the term originated in Spanish speaking contexts or was introduced to Spanish speaking contexts originally by anthropologists such as Oscar Lewis in reference to patterns of masculine behavior in Latin American contexts like Mexico. In any case, like "Shamanism" and "taboo," it has been extended to refer to masculine practice and traits, especially characteristics such as intransigence, in a number of settings, though mainly in Latin America and to a lesser extent the Mediterranean region (mainly Spain, to a lesser extent Italy or the Balkans – not so much North Africa).
Each of these terms can be useful in indicating cross-cultural similarity, when used carefully. At the same time, it should be acknowledged that extension of terms can water down the specificity of the particular contexts in question. Extending "shamanism" to discuss non-Siberian cultures can potentially involve losing sight of the particularities of Siberian shamanism, though there's no reason why an attention to detail cannot also be incorporated into cross-cultural comparison.
To me, the utility of such terms for comparative work depends on careful and consistent attention to issues of qualitative similarity. Each of these three concepts can be used problematically when this is not the case. Siberian and Native American individuals who enter altered states of consciousness to magically heal (or harm) other individuals or interact with a variety of spirits are engaging in different experiences, but experiences that are qualitatively similar in essential ways. Lamas in Tibetan area cultures who engage in ritual practice beseeching gods to intervene against demons and evil spirits, and who may or may not enter a sort of trance state when doing so, are engaging in experiences and practices that are similar in some ways, but less systematically similar – and hence it's less clear that referring to lamas as "shamans" is a useful thing to do. (Comparing the Siberian and Native American examples is not comparing apples and oranges, but more like comparing different varieties of apples. Comparing lamas and Siberian shamans might be more like comparing apples and oranges – which do at least in fact have a good deal of similarity in both being fruits.) There seems to me a world of difference in the practices of Jívaro shamans in Ecuador, as described by Michael Harner in his 1970s era ethnography The Jívaro, and the sort of "shamanism" taught today by Michael Harner to New Age spiritualists (which seems to me more like comparing apples and collard greens).
"Taboo" seems to me to be stretched thin, rather than usefully extended, when inconsistently applied, not just to examples of sacred prohibition, but to proscription in general (an extension that's also unnecessary in that there's already a word for that – "proscription"). The main problem I have with much anthropological use of "machismo" is not the set of characteristics and practices of masculinity it is often associated with, but the often inconsistent manner of its application. In practice it is generally applied to Spanish speaking cultural contexts, and occasionally to other Latin American or European Mediterranean settings, only rarely to other settings. Which would be fine, except that to be conceptualized broadly enough to incorporate the diverse array of Latin American and Mediterranean practices of masculinity, it could easily be applied to a variety of other settings as well, though this is generally not done. In other words, "machismo" could be usefully extended to compare Latin American, North American and European masculinity (and probably other settings as well) on analogy with the extension of "taboo" or "shamanism," but in practice is problematically used to over-delineate "Latin American" difference through the lack of extension.
Fascism, Gulags, Genocide
There are other concepts that I would argue should be carefully restricted to a limited number of settings. Most prominent among these are "fascism," "gulag," and "genocide." I argue that these terms ideally should be restricted to a limited set of historical circumstances on practical and moral grounds. Practically, these are very serious topics which require careful delineation. This is especially the case with "genocide," where in the case of ongoing or potential future cases, being able to make fine distinctions contributing to subtle understanding may be important in intervention to stop it. Further, these in fact are fairly unique phenomena – the degree of qualitative similarity is limited. Morally, these are terms that refer to some of the most serious and egregious violations of human rights and dignity in human history. Comparison with other historical contexts can be quite useful, but careless extension of the terms themselves, such as with George W. Bush's use of the term "Islamofascism" or Amnesty International's "American Gulag," both undermines the credibility of the speaker and makes a mockery of the seriousness of the original contexts.
Fascism was a form of authoritarian populism, but not all authoritarian populism (much less anything that is vaguely "authoritarian") is fascism. "Fascism" should be used to speak of political and social phenomena of the 1930s and 1940s, specifically of German Nazism and Italian fascism and related fascist movements in other countries at the time. (I don't strongly object to use of the term to refer to contemporary neo-Nazis or other neo-fascists who take specific inspiration from the original fascists, though I do think it generally a good idea to use the "neo-" prefix for such cases.) There are a number of features that make German Nazism and Italian fascism quite distinct from other phenomena.
Fascism was not just authoritarian but totalitarian, aiming toward total identity between state and society and total control and transformation of every aspect of society, with this more clearly achieved in the case of Nazi Germany than fascist Italy. Fascism is not the only example of totalitarianism (Hannah Arendt's classic book on the subject, The Origins of Totalitarianism, describes Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union under Stalin as the two main cases of actually existing totalitarianism, to which could probably be added the People's Republic of China during the Cultural Revolution and Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge), but totalitarianism is a key feature of fascism.
Fascism also involved mass mobilization of people as part of the total identity between state and the populace, a sort of fetishization of technology, and use of mass media and spectacle (where in the case of mass mobilization, the people formed the very spectacle that they were to behold). Involved also with this was a paradoxical or contradictory simultaneous appeal to modernity and the primitive – an identification of state and nation with the might of modern technology and with blood, soil, and family. Alongside this, fascism promised a total social transformation, as did totalitarian communism, but unlike communism, this involved a conservative revolutionary transformation to restore an earlier ideal state of being (which included a romanticization of rural life, blood and race [especially for the Nazis], the Roman Empire [especially for the Italian fascists, but with Nazis also using much Roman imagery], and non- or pre-Christian folklore and mythos [e.g. the uses to which the composers Wagner and Orff were put in Germany]). In all of this fascism was relentlessly nationalist.
Fascism is essentially characterized by this suite of characteristics, and not just any one of them. Useful insights can be gained by comparing Italian fascism and/or Nazi Germany with other political or social systems, but little is gained by extending the term "fascism" in facile ways to contexts that have only a little in common with these cases, especially given that we have ready access to a variety of more usefully generalizable terms, such as "authoritarianism," "populism," "nationalism," or even "totalitarianism."
Finally, fascism is indelibly linked to not just any old set of historical and cultural contexts but to the destruction of much of Europe during World War II and to the Holocaust in the case of German Nazism. The seriousness of this to me makes any attempt to apply the term to other settings facile at best, distorting the reality of both contexts under comparison.
The Gulag
A few years ago, Amnesty International aroused a small controversy by referring to the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay housing "enemy combatants" as an "American Gulag." (This is a phrase that has subsequently repeated by others. For example, in a recent column in The Nation ["Here Comes Another 'Crime Wave,'" April 2, 2007, p. 9], Alexander Cockburn repeats the phrase, though in this case it's not clear whether he's referring to Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, arbitrary violent action against Iraqi civilians, or the American prison system within the U.S.) The characterization struck many as absurd and offensive, the most unfortunate consequence of which was that it undermined the credibility of Amnesty International's report on Guantanamo, with the result that little attention was paid to the important facts and findings reported there.
Pragmatically, it seems foolish to carelessly throw about terms such as "gulag," "fascism," or "genocide." Because these are highly loaded terms, the extension of them to a variety of contexts has the rhetorical effect of undermining one's seriousness and credibility for many audiences. As with "fascism," "gulag" is a term associated with one of the most egregious and systematic violations of human dignity and human rights in history – to glibly refer to other things as "gulags" is to diminish the seriousness of the original context.
There are vast qualitative and quantitative differences between the Soviet Gulag (especially under Stalin, but also earlier and later) and Guantanamo Bay or Abu Ghraib that make the use of the phrase "American Gulag" simply inaccurate or misleading.
The Gulag interred millions, as opposed to hundreds (or a few thousands, perhaps, if you combine detention centers in Guantanamo, Iraq, and Afghanistan). That is, there are several orders of magnitude difference in the scale of the systems.
In addition to many differences of detail, there are at least two major qualitative differences that make the Soviet Gulag system quite distinct from the "American Gulag." First, the Soviet Gulag was not just a system of imprisonment but also a slave labor system, while there's no current evidence I'm aware of for anything of the sort in the cases of Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, or CIA "black sites." Second, the Gulag was an integral (and legal) part of the Soviet system overall, which focused especially on citizens who were counter-revolutionary, subversive, enemies of the states, or somehow ran afoul of Stalinist paranoia. Guantanamo is explicitly external to the normal American justice system. Even the Bush Administration recognizes the abnormality and specialness of it, arguing repeatedly, for example, that normal U.S. laws do not apply because internees are non-citizens detained while not follow Geneva Convention rules of warfare and because Guantanamo is not U.S. but foreign soil (an element of the argument I'm sure Fidel Castro finds interesting).
At the same time, I don't want at all to diminish the seriousness of Guantanamo (or any similar sites). There are troubling commonalities between it and the Gulag, such as detention incommunicado, detention without hope of normal legal proceedings, no clear evidence of offense in many cases, etc. The fact that there are any similarities is quite disturbing, though Amnesty International could have more credibly pointed this out, and even made comparisons between the contexts, if they had done so without attempting to claim equivalency (an equivalency denied by the serious quantitative and qualitative differences) by the use of the "American Gulag" phrase.
"Genocide" is different in one way from "fascism" or "gulag." Those two terms arose in a specific context, contexts that I argue they should be restricted to in their application. "Genocide" is a term applied externally to any number of settings. So, I wouldn't claim that it should be restricted to only one or another context, but I would argue that "genocide" should be used very carefully in reference to specific sorts of cases.
Cases like the Holocaust or the Rwandan genocide are of such seriousness that haphazard use of "genocide" can distort reality, undermine credibility, and needlessly cause offense. Further, for those interested in understanding historical events in subtle ways, accurate use of terminology is essential. For ongoing instances, this is even more crucial – any intervention that anyone might care to get around to in a place like Darfur depends in part on accurate and nuanced understanding to have any hope of success.
Genocide means the attempt to eliminate an ethnic or cultural group. There can be some room for debate about potential application of this term versus another for a specific context. For example, I wouldn't generally refer to the ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Bosnian Serbs against Bosniak Muslims as genocide. The overall goal in that instance seems to have been the laying claim to certain territory for Serbs and the movement of Bosniaks out of these areas – but not so much to eliminate the cultural group altogether. Note that I'm not saying that this constitutes anything less serious than genocide (thousands were massacred at sites like Srebrenica) – I just think it constitutes something a bit different from genocide. At the same time, I'm also aware that good arguments could be made considering this instance "genocide," as the U.N.'s tribunal for war crimes in the former Yugoslavia has done. Certainly the effects at Srebrenica were "genocidal." I'm generally opposed to defining "genocide" in terms of effects, because in ongoing situations, defining by effect would mean waiting until after the fact to be able to label something "genocide," though I can see the merit in doing so for historical instances.
While there is room for debate about whether cases like the Bosnian one constitute "genocide," "ethnic cleansing," or something else altogether but equally serious, "genocide" should not be extended to refer to simply any instance of ethnic tension or violence. For example, last summer I heard someone who was upset about Israeli bombings in areas of southern Lebanon (a reaction I could understand) refer to the Israeli actions as genocide. My reaction was that no matter one's feelings on that small war last summer (whether one feels that Israel was engaged in an illegitimate action that resulted in serious human rights violations; that Israel did nothing improper at all; that Israel should have hit Hezbollah harder while simultaneously trying to more effectively diminish civilian casualties; that Israel's actions were proper but disproportionate), one thing that wasn't happening there was "genocide." (There are, of course, other problematic uses of the word, e.g. the Ethiopian government's labeling of opposition politicians, activists, and journalists as guilty of genocide.) The cursory extension of the term to cases such as these is facile and counter-productive at best, both undermining the credibility of the speaker and the seriousness of the concept.

A beef inside
the H2O Ultralounge turned into a shooting outside, with 26 shell
casings found and four cars hit by bullets. Also found was a bleeding
21-year-old Jacques McDuffey who died a short time later.
The deadly shot turned out to be the hit that broke the camel's back. There are homes close enough to be hit by stray bullets.
A neighbor said she heard gunshots that night.
"Just made me nervous," she said. "I'm glad it's over."
say the bar was also the site of fights, gunshots, drug sales, open
containers and more. In just the past 12 months, there have been 65
calls for police.

Custom Ear Plugs and Earmolds
Hearing Protection
Noise Plugs - Custom fit solid earplugs provide protection from excessive noise levels associated with a variety of recreational and occupational environments. This is the ideal option when the main purpose is reduction of noise rather than the ability to communicate.
Noise Braker - This is very similar to the noise plug but has a small hole drilled through with a small filter. This is ideal when noise reduction is necessary as well as the ability to hear some low frequency sound.
Swim Molds
Custom fit waterproof swim molds are ideal for individuals prone to ear infections or other ear problems. They are made of a soft material, New Sil, which provides an excellent seal to keep most water out. There is also an option of having them made with a floatable material so you won't lose them in the water. Swim molds are available in a variety of colours, including several neon colours. You can also swirl up to three different colours per pair. Handles and a cord are included with each pair, as well as a zippered wrist pouch.
Sleep Plugs
The custom fit, solid sleep plug is made of a soft material which allows for a comfortable sleep while reducing background noise. These are available in a variety of colours.
Musician's plugs
These custom fit ear plugs are ideal hearing protection for any musician. The combination of a special filter with the acoustics of the custom earmold provide a smooth, flat attenuate helping to keep the natural sound of the music. They are available with a 9 dB, 15 dB or 25 dB filter depending on your specific requirement. These numbers indicate the amount of sound reduction for each plug.
MP3/iPod earmolds
These custom fit earmolds provide a secure fit, staying in place during exercise or physical activity.

At least eleven military explosions have occurred Monday and Tuesday, a minimum of ten large-caliber ammunition ground-rattling explosions from a Louisiana Military Department bomb recycling plant in the northwestern Louisiana forcing evacuations of at least 600 students, over 400 prisoners and 800 residents of Doyline, and one militaryexplosion injuring a man in Alabama.
"[C]itizens were shaken out of bed and windows were shattered during the late night hours Oct. 15," according to Accuweather.
Jesse Ferrell with Accuweather pulled 3D radar images from GRLevelX software this morning of the "mystery object."
The blast and resulting fire at the underground Explo Systems site at Camp Minden resulted in authorities asking residents of the eastern section of Doyline to leave the area, according to AP.
After the initial blast, more explosions followed about every 10 minutes as the fire was allowed to burn, AP says.
The units where the explosions reportedly cam from are self-contained, partially underground and designed to send any blast upward and not outward to minimalize damage.
Windows shattered in Dixie Inn and Minden.
Sheriff Gary Sexton said home video surveillance cameras as far as 25 miles away captured the sound of the explosion and a glow in the sky.
Officials say they have no idea what caused it to blow.
Explo Systems opened its site in January with a military contract to disassemble bombs and recycle bomb components. It has had other recent explosions at Camp Minden.
The National Guard oversees Camp Minden, its newest military training site.
Camp Minden is a former Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant that produced large-caliber ammunition for the military until closing in 1994.
The facility says on its website:
In 1941, the Federal Government acquired 15,868 acres of farms, farmland and private lands for construction of The Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP). In January 2005 the entire area that formally belonged to the U.S. Government as LAAP totaling 14,995 acres was deeded over to the State of Louisiana under the control of the Louisiana Military Department.
"Louisiana took the site over from the federal government last year and it is now occupied by several businesses," says AP.
According to many residents, something come down instead of something blow up.

What You Should Know Before Booking A Hostel
Chances are, you know what hostels are. Yet, many are terrified of the idea of sharing a room with 20 strangers, male or female. I've stayed in quite a few hostels in the US, Mexico and Canada with great experiences. Although, I will mention a bit of preparation and research is highly recommended before booking. This list isn't meant to deter you from staying at hostels, but rather prepare you. As a budget traveler, hostels are a no brainer.
Book like a PRO
Before booking, check every site including the hostel site for nightly rates and discounts. Sites like HostelWorld and Booking.com seem to be the most popular and will often have different prices.
Free WIFI
Yeah that's right FREE WIFI! Most hostels will have free wifi, some better than others. It may only work in common areas e.g kitchen and lounge rooms, or it may be limited GB. If you have no data and rely on wifi, you might wanna read reviews from previous guests.
Choose between Dorm and Private rooms.
Dorm rooms will be the cheapest and uncomfortable at times. You might be blessed with a four bed dorm or 24 bed, mixed or male/female. Do not expect to sleep well, there will be noise, there will be someone coming in late, and someone waking up at 5 am. Do bring ear plugs, block out of the noise including homegirl snoring next to you. If you got the coinz, then choose the private room, you get privacy and silence.
Free Breakfast
Most of the time it's toast, coffee/tea or oats. It's not much, but it helps those traveling on a budget. They might also have a full kitchen for your use, even though your groceries may be gone the next day.
Bring a Lock
If you safely store your belongings, bring a lock. If you don't have one, the hostel front desk will be selling locks. This is for your own safeties, do not trust anyone, LOCK IT UP!
Hang Out in the Common Areas
Hang out, make friends, say hi to people.
Hostel Events
Hostels have events almost every day, from tours, to yoga, bar hopping, s'mores at the beach etc. These are great for anyone traveling solo looking to meet new friends. If you're lucky you might get a chance to attend a $3 spaghetti + wine night, talk about a deal.
First and foremost, make sure it's a safe neighborhood. Google the area and make sure it's safe to travel late at night if needed. Often times the cheapest hostel available will also be the furthest one. Is $5 extra worth being on the bus for 40 minutes?

In an interview with ESPN's Gene Wojciechowski that aired on ESPN on Tuesday, Oklahoma Sooners football coach Bob Stoops spoke about his team's stand against racism a few weeks after the video of the Oklahoma University fraternity members participating in a racist chant leaked.
Stoops stated that he believed his players and the rest of the university are capable of bringing the problem to light and even helping stop it.
"This was caught here," he said. "I think [OU's players] realize it's everywhere. It's around the country. We happen to have it; let's try to do something with it and try to effect change. And I'm proud of the way they've done it.
He also added, "So maybe we were the ones to bring it more to light. Because it isn't just here in Oklahoma. It's around the country. And it needs to be stopped. And we have a strong enough voice, maybe, to step up and start having it end."

Q: I seem to see two camps out there. "Learn/understand everything in all 12 keys" and "the symmetry of the neck can not be denied, so embrace the patterns and do not worry about learning it in all 12 keys". Although I am not against a strong theory base or patterns, is there a middle road or another way of approaching it, or should one be the dominant path?
A: As a general rule, I'd say to neglect nothing! But, as you said, the symmetry of the neck on a bass guitar (or any instrument tuned in set intervals) is a beautiful thing and is supremely helpful. It is not nearly as necessary to practice something in every key on bass as it is on, say piano. However, if you only "sorta" know your neck and you only play in E, you will definitely get tripped up if a singer asks to play the tune in Ab for example. Practicing something in every key is a great way to re-affirm or learn your knowledge and understanding of the fret-board.
My advice would be to practice things in different keys AND in different spots on the neck AND in different positions (i.e.: if you usually start with your index on the root, shift positions so your pinky is now on the root and try and play the same thing with a different fingering). This becomes less necessary as you begin to truly master the fret-board, but is very, very helpful in getting you to that point!

Well, I'm totally moved into my new living space in Kew Gardens, Queens, with my fiancéé, Takako. Still putting my stuff from boxes to closets and drawers. The testing moment of our relationship came when I showed up with all my stuff. She still let me in the apartment. "That's a good sign!" I thought to myself. Life together has been great so far. Stay tuned for more!
Big changes for me. The new living situation had coincided with a new job. I am now a technology teacher in a public school in Brooklyn. Full time and then some. I think Takako's greatest nightmare is that I will wake up some day and decide to be a full time musician instead. There is a clever song that warns, "...and if you want to ruin your life...become a guitar player's wife..." We'll see.
The latest news about CBGB's is that it is over and
done for them!
My 50th birthday happened on Saturday, September 3rd. I want to sincerely thank all my friends who made the occasion so memorable, especially Karen Brooks, who invited me and others to her homestead in northwest Massachusetts. The weather was great, the country was beautiful and the vibe was so sweet. It is the nicest thing in the world to have people who love you.
I have got gigs, demonstrations and conference
appearances coming up,
peace and love

"When my students knew that
they'd be sending e-mail to students in South Africa, Japan and England as part
of the Global Water Sample Project at P.S. 22, I had a problem I've never
encountered before - they were writing too much! They felt that people
from other countries would be reading their words and they wanted to communicate
extensively with them. They were also much more careful about grammar and
spelling, since many of our partners were not native English speakers."

One year jubelee celebration at the Goethe-Institut in Los Angeles
For the celebration of the one year's existence the Alumni group of Los Angeles the alumni met at the Goethe Institute on March 17th.
The participants arrived around 18:30 and had organized the food, too. Red and white wine was donated by the Goehte Institute. Everything was very nicely placed as a buffet in the Media Lounge. Daniel Chaffey, program coordinator of the Goethe Institute, and other staff did a lot of preparation work. Lively discussion started right from the beginning. In addition we had a slide show about Hamburg running on the screen in the Media Lounge.
Some participants also to take a look at the art exhibition of five artists from Berlin and Leipzig "Berlin superposition - Five position of contemporary art" which commenced on the Friday before at the Goethe Institute (http://www.goethe.de/ins/us/los/ver/en12246728v.htm).
At 19:30 the official part started. After Christoph having welcomed the group we all introduced ourselves and realized that we had a lot of joined memories regarding out time at the university. From Daniel Chaffey, Laura Biedermann of the German Consulate General and Petra Korn of the German American Business Association, Southern California, we got different perspectives and useful hints regarding German lessons at the universities and High Schools in greater Los Angeles as well as about the issues around Green Card, preservation permission and nationality. Alumnae Cornelia Ballent and Marion Philadelphia gave us beyond these an idea about the programs of California State University Long Beach and the University of Southern California. Merrill had prepared a presentation, which gave the basis for further discussions with Katharina. There were some suggestions, how Alumni could contribute for the academic exchange, as the association could be the central contact point for others being interested. Also some common issues of Los Angeles and Hamburg were highlighted. Perhaps we can come to a cooperation with the haven authorities, especially because Hamburg will will host the 29th IAPH World Port Conference in 2015.
Daniel Chaffey presented tasks and the offer of the Goethe Institute. The literature and movie collection and the regularly events are of interest for all alumni und one should register for the weekly newsletter under: www.goethe.de/ins/us/los/enindex.htm.
There were also many suggestions for future alumni meetings, e.g. rather having a meeting over the weekend in order to avoid the heavy traffic on the freeways. Perhaps we can have a BBQ in one of the beautiful parks in Los Angeles. Some participants would like to visit a museum or a film festival like the German Currents taking place in October and being supported by the German Consulate. Beside that some Alumni are particularly interested in other's core activities, for example geo information systems or also atomic physics, and would like to get a presentation about these. One Alumna kindly offered to host our next meeting at her place.
Your Alumni Ambassador team Christoph and Merrill

the daily.
So a buddy of mine told me about this vodka called 'deep eddy, ruby red' I was first like wtf is that... but turns out, this is some really damn good vodka. It's smooth as hell (cuhz of a 10 time distillation, and 35% ABV) and it goes with the gluten free trend. $20 at costco right now, can't beat it. I saw cranberry and sweet tea flavors too, but I'll go with ruby this time.
enjoy the weekend folks.

Sunrise Necklace
Made By: k.o'brien jewelry
Reflecting the wonder of a new day, this pendant necklace is inspired by the artist's view of the sun rising into the clear blue sky at dawn, resplendent in changing tones and textures as she hiked through the mountains at 4,315 feet. Handcrafted in a trio of mixed metal finishes, a golden brass sun is nestled between two pieces of silver—one hazy, one rocky. Just like the cool and fiery light she saw emerging from the horizon that very day.
– Handcrafted
– Three pendants in three finishes:
– Brass
– Brushed silver
– Textured
– Handmade clasp
– Each pendant measures 5mm
– Sterling silver chain measures 16" or 18"

Bi-Metallic Bi-Thermostatic Steam Traps
Balanced pressure steam traps, with independent seat and piston and an external drainage temperature and load adjustment device, which can be serviced without interrupting the steam circuit. Having independent valve and seat located in an area with reduced flow velocity reduces erosion of the components, thus increasing the steam trap's life. The condensate drainage is controlled by the two bimetallic thermostats which are continuously adjusting to the condensate loads.
Its working principle confers the steam trap automatic air venting capacity. Due to its design, the bimetallic bi-thermostatic steam trap can function in any position and is resistant to water hammers.
Replacement costs are enormously reduced due to the independent valve and seat. This altogether with the external adjustment device result in very low maintenance costs.

Intelligent Steam Traps
The use of Bitherm´s Intelligent products provides the means to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the maintenance costs as they monitor the steam network and focus the maintenance where it needs to be applied.
About Intelligent Steam Traps
1. Intelligent Bi-Thermostatic Steam Trap
Intelligent Bithermostatic steam traps are the combination of Bi-Metallic Bithermostatic Steam Traps and Smart Watch Web Refinery Monitorization System.
SmartWatchWeb™ reaches its maximum performance when combined with Bitherm´s Bithermostatic Steam Traps and Trap Valve Stations. The installation of SWW10 on these valves is straight-forward as they have been designed to ease this coupling. When the valves are mounted together and the monitoring system is used we speak of Intelligent Valves.
The simplest of these couples is the Intelligent Steam Trap. The SWW10 is screwed in the screw hole of the Bithermostatic Steam Trap which greatly simplifies the installation process. Once installed the valve can be remotely monitored, retrieving data for temperature and ultrasounds and optionally pressure. This data can be used to determine the valve status (ok, leaking, cold, etc.) and if pressure sensors are used it can also provide information about operational problems in the return collector.
It performs the sensing and diagnosing of the following:
Status of Operation.
Presence of external or internal steam leaks.
Energy Efficiency and reduced GHG emissions.
Troubles on return controller.
2. Intelligent Bi-Thermostatic Trap Valve Stations
The Intelligent Trap Valve Station (iTVS) goes one step farther as its design allows to directly mount the pressure sensors without any modification to the valve. This feature makes it ideal for applications requiring pressure monitoring and reduces the installation and maintenance costs.

Jo Lloyd to host Runway on The Runway
Runway on The Runway returns for a third show in partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust on 31st March
Smooth Radio is proud to announce our support to The Teenage Cancer Trust event, Runway on The Runway taking place on 31st March in Manchester.
Our very own Jo Lloyd will host the prom-themed fashion show is to both increase awareness and raise vital funds for Teenage Cancer Trust (NW) which supports young people living with cancer. Each year around 500 young people between the ages of 13 and 23 are diagnosed with cancer here in the North West, where awareness still remains the lowest in the UK.
Ten schools will take part in the amazing fashion event showcasing the latest prom fashion on our spectacular custom-built catwalk. Working with the Runway on the Runway team, each school will choreograph their own catwalk as well as raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust. The top fundraising school will be awarded the "Thumbs Up" trophy in memory of Stephen Sutton and there will be a trophy for the best catwalk awarded by Boss Models as well as for the best catwalk hair courtesy of Trevor Sorbie salons.
This year some of the teachers will also get the chance to show off their catwalk skills. A special "teachers only" catwalk where they get the chance to wear their school's uniform will be part of the show. "Pimp my Uniform" will see them strut their stuff to a huge 80's anthem. #oldschoolfun.

It's no secret that TVs generally need a helping hand when it comes to audio. In the race to be the thinnest, brightest, most feature-laden rectangle out there, not much room is left in the chassis for one of the most important parts: the speaker.
Enter the soundbar. Built as a consumer gadget to replace your TV's speakers (but without replacing high-end surround sound systems), these products can outperform just about any tube on the market when it comes to audio. If home theater headphones just won't cut it, you need a soundbar.
However, these things can get expensive. If you don't have $700-$2,000 to blow—nor do you need an audiophile setup—what do you do? Well, I'm an expert, and I'm here to tell you that there are ways to stretch your dollar. If you're tired of having to suffer tinny, distorted audio, there's plenty of ways you can skate by if you have $100-300 lying around.
Vizio SB3651-E6
Okay, I cheated a little bit and this is technically a surround sound system. However, the main guts are housed in the soundbar, so I figure this counts. Having first-hand experience with this unit, I can tell you that not only is the audio quality up to snuff for even picky cinephiles, the Vizio unit also has fewer headaches associated with swapping between wireless bluetooth speakers and wired sources—especially music from your phone. Speaking of, the new model also supports Chromecast, so no more expensive dongles hanging out of your equipment; just cast to the bar. It's just gravy that there are two extra channels that can be used for actual surround sound instead of just the emulated kind. All that for under $300? Tough to do better, I promise you.
LG Electronics SH6
One thing that drives me nuts on many sound bars is the lack of Google Cast. It's a minor issue, I know, but sound bars should be able to handle one of the most important additions to the living room, right? Thankfully, LG has this covered with their absolutely loaded SH6 4.0 Channel soundbar. Though the unit is very heavy, it can be wall-mounted or placed inconspicuously on an entertainment center. In my experience, it has no trouble filling a room with sound, but it is a tad on the weak side for bass. If audio device connectivity is your thing, give this model a look.
You might like: Best Airplay Speakers
Yamaha YAS-203
Though in some respects judging sound quality is subjective, this Yamaha does fantastically well for the under $300 crowd. The bass won't rumble your house, but this unit competently replaces your TVs speaker systems with one that can give you virtual surround sound, good audio quality, and won't break the bank.
Razer Leviathan
Despite the gamer-centric branding, Razer's Leviathan is a shockingly competent soundbar for under $200. Bearing all the standard guts and features afforded by the other audio products in this price bracket, the Leviathan can be hooked up to your computer or TV to give it that extra audio boost to turn your setup into a media haven. Built with the idea that your space may be at a premium, the subwoofer is split out from the main body into a standalone 5.25 downward-firing unit.
AmazonBasics 2.1 Channel Bluetooth Sound Bar
You really can't get much more bare-bones than a piece of AmazonBasics equipment. However, this will easily replace your TVs lackluster speakers in a pinch—without emptying your wallet. We've opted to add the 2.1 channel system for under $100, but you can also pick up the subwoofer-less model for $70. The audio quality is easily the least-good of the bunch, but don't take that to mean that it's bad; on the contrary, it'll blow your TVs onboard speaker units out of the water.
Considering the fact that soundbars are an ever-changing and growing category, new models will be released that dethrone some of our picks. In that light, be sure to check back periodically so you don't miss a good deal if there's one to be had. There are also many soundbars out there that offer quite a lot even under $1000, but we figured $300 was a good cutoff point for most people who just want something that handles what their TV can't.
Did we miss anything? Sound off in the comments with your favorite budget soundbar!

Hull, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 20 May 2015
Frillo.co.uk, the only B2B web store designed specifically to help small businesses grow, today launches its new Frillo+ service.
The membership scheme, available to all those that sign up to the site, has been designed in partnership with SME-exclusive credit checking service Check Business (powered by Equifax) and telephone conferencing service MeetUpCall.
The idea is to bring together a combination of services that can have a measurable impact on the profitability of a small business. By offering these key facilities as part of a wider bundle, Frillo+ is focused on enabling customers to reduce delivery costs and improve on effective external business communication, while crucially avoiding the perils of working with other organisations that are not on a strong credit footing.
For an annual membership fee users will benefit from free delivery on all orders from Frillo, gain access to the Check Business Pro Check credit checking service, and use of MeetUpCall's Pro conferencing facility, including 250 minutes of conference call time. All of which can be easily accessed direct on Frillo.co.uk.
Gerard Toplass, founder and CEO, comments: "Cash flow problems brought about by late payments are the biggest problem facing businesses in the UK today, with operating costs coming a close second. By allowing business owners to avoid the first issue, while reducing how much they spend on services to tackle the second, we hope this new offering will support our customers to get on and grow their organisations. Schools and academies will also be able to credit check suppliers; an issue of increasing importance given EU compliance restrictions."
Frillo+ membership costs £99 a year (plus VAT), and the service is available to all subscribers for an initial free month's trial.
For further information visit Frillo.co.uk or get in touch on 0800 612 1188 or email customer.service(at)frillo(dot)co.uk.

For additional information on the Studio seamstresses, please go to "Our Favorite Things."
To see a few suggestions how to make the alterations process go smoothly, click here.
Lady In Waiting Services is a personal bridal assistant service for the bride on her wedding day. With this service, the bridal assistant is a dedicated stylist that will help affix the corset, buttons and bows. They can even stay to tie your bustle perfectly so that the bride can dance the night away without a care in the world. The bridal assistant will see that the day stays on schedule, help solve any bridesmaid dilemmas and answer the phone for any last minute directions for family members and friends.
Your assistant will come equipped with needle, thread, scissors, hair pins and other little wedding accessories. The objective of the bridal assistant is to make sure the bride, her mother and her maids look their best before walking down the aisle.
Your gown had a good time too!
Your gown is as much a part of a memory of your wedding day as your photos. The only true way to be sure your dress will remain in pristine condition over the years is to have it cleaned and preserved. The number one reason gowns will yellow as they age is due to stains that may not be visible on your dress such as sugar, sweat and oils from the skin.
A professional wedding dress cleaning company knows how to spot these stains and has invested in the proper equipment to remove them.
Three Graces uses Wedding Gown Preservation Company. They are a family owned business that has been in operation for over 100 years.

Cross-Brand Consumer Promotion: Discover New England
Project: New England Cross-Brand Consumer Promotion
Client: Discover New England
Task: kbc presented a great opportunity for New England in 2014: a promotion supporting the launch of English language version of "The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair" by Joel Dicker – a book set in New England set to be the next best selling thriller in the UK, after major success in Europe.
Implementation: To coincide with the launch of the English language version in the UK, kbc worked with the publisher, Quercus, to secure a holiday promotion with national newspaper and website, The Guardian. The Guardian was the perfect media choice as the brand has a strong literary heritage and guardian.co.uk offers good online opportunities for commercial promotions. The circulation of the newspaper is 203,000 and the Books pages of the website have 646,000 unique users and 2 million page views per month.
Investment was minimal. kbc approached Purely New England to provide flights and car hire for the prize winner, leaving only the accommodation to be found through DNE's partners. All media costs associated were covered by the publisher. kbc extended the campaign through social media, tweeting about the competition and securing free copies of the book to be used for adhoc prizes including the Mail's 'Friday Freebie', for the first six bookings to New England with Trafalgar, and as gifts to travel editors to initiate media meetings on behalf of DNE.
Results: The promotion was supported with the following:
• Dedicated page on Guardian Extra (subscribers' site)
• Week long advertising on guardian.co.uk home page (right hand side) – 236 monthly impressions / 26.2 m browsers
• Feature competition on Guardian Extra and top spot in email to 105,000 subscribers
• Advertising support in paper within the Guardian and the Observer

The cover reproduced here is taken from L'office de la Semaine Sainte, a French liturgy which contained the intricate rules that governed life during Holy Week, determined by the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
The original cover was decorated à la fanfare, an intricate handtooled pattern edged in gilt which was popular from the late 1500s until the early 1700s. The technique required such high levels of skill from the bookbinder that is was reserved for books of great importance. This particular cover reproduces a 1688 binding from the Düsseldorf Museum Kunstpalast.

The United Arab Emirates' cabinet has approved plans for
Etihad Rail, the developer of a railway network in the country, to borrow AED4.7bn
($1.28bn) to finance part of the construction, Dubai's ruler said on Sunday.
"We also approved during the meeting for Etihad Rail to
borrow AED4.7bn to finance their new line to Al Ruwais," Sheikh Mohammed
bin Rashid al-Maktoum, who is also UAE vice-president, posted on his official
Twitter feed.
No other details were provided.
The rail network, which will cover 1,200 kilometres across
the UAE and is projected to cost around $11bn, is being built in three stages.
The line to Ruwais is part of the first phase.
In October, a contract worth 3.3-billion dirhams was awarded
to an Italian-UAE joint venture, consisting of Italy's Saipem, Tecnimont and
UAE-based Dodsal Engineering & Construction PTE Ltd, to design, procure and
construct the first stage's infrastructure.
The first stage of the rail network will link the western
region cities of Habshan and Ruwais by 2013 and join Shah and Habshan by 2014.
Phase two of the project will connect Abu Dhabi to Jebel Ali
in Dubai while the third phase will connect the northern emirates.
Contracts for the second stage are earmarked to
be awarded in the third-quarter of 2012, its chief executive said in November

Ring in the New Year with Hue Fireworks for Philips Hue
Hue Fireworks for Philips Hue is a smart iOS app for the Philips-developed automated lightning system that allows users to ring in the new year in a fun, unique way.
Fireworks in your front room
I've actually just bought a Philips Hue Starter Kit, and I'm excited to try this app out. According to the developer, iMakeStuff (which also has a range of other Hue-compatible applications on the App Store), Hue Fireworks "lets you create explosive celebrations with a beautiful dynamic interface and exploding fireworks." This is an interesting use for the Hue bulbs, and it's something owners of the accessory should definitely check out.
An update for NYE 2016
However, as AppleInsider notes, a recent update to Hue Fireworks (developed in collaboration with both Philips and Countdown Entertainment) allows Hue owners to bring the Times Square Ball to their living room, too.
In the app's release notes, iMakeStuff explains:
Now you can bring the iconic Times Square Ball experience home with the newest Hue Fireworks feature. Developed in collaboration with Philips Lighting and Countdown Entertainment, your Philips Hue wireless lighting can now replicate the exact lighting effects provided by the Philips LED Bulbs used in the Times Square Ball on New Year's Eve to light up 2016. Simply choose the Times Square Ball feature and join in for the final sixty seconds of the countdown in real-time to experience all of the dynamic, color-changing fun that will transform your living room and illuminate any New Year's Eve celebration.
This sounds like a lot of fun!
Aside from Hue Fireworks, iMakeStuff also has a Hue Disco app and a Hue Christmas app available for Philips Hue owners. There's a collective bundle, too, which offers all the applications for a single price.
Hue Fireworks, however, can be downloaded on the App Store for $1.99 and it requires iOS 8.4 or later — along with a set of Hue bulbs, of course. You can purchase these direct from Apple for $199.95.

From all indicators at present, the Arab Spring that promised freedom and peace but delivered bondage and heavy-handedness throughout the Middle East is poised to show itself in Jordan beginning on Nov. 30.
The National Front for Reform, led by Jordanian PM Ahmad Obeidat, the Muslim Brotherhood, and a youth movement called "November Rising," are calling for protests and demonstrations to undermine the powers of King Abdullah II.
Having learned from watching the actual Arab Spring unfold in other countries during 2011 and into 2012, Jordanian officials quickly responded to the planned demonstrations by sealing off main roads and streets of the capital, as well as other "sensitive areas."
Islamists who plan to demonstrate say these attempts to quell the protesters is a feeble attempt by authorities "to reduce the number of participants in the demonstrations."
Some important things to note: Jordan's market is the freest in the region, it has a free trade agreement with the U.S., it has a pro-American regime (American queen), and Jordan has a solid, peaceful diplomatic relationship with Israel. This means Jordan is going to be a true test of Obama's foreign policy prowess.
You'll recall that Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, while not ideal in many respects, was a pro-Western leader whom Obama opposed when the Arab Spring reached Egypt. Since then, we've seen the Muslim Brotherhood secure Egypt's presidency in the person of Mohamed Morsi, and we've seen Morsi declare near unlimited powers for himself in that country.
We saw Obama encourage the uprising in Libya, where we used our military to topple Gaddafi, only to then quickly leave the country and allow various groups of Islamists to restructure things their way. As a result, we had the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, which ended with the deaths of four Americans at the hands of the attackers, and even now the northern portion of Africa grows worse and worse.
Jordanian PM Obeidat says the National Front for Reform has no interest in "gambling with the country's stability and security." However, he also said that in the event they are not allowed to protest different tactics may be required. "We will cross that bridge when we come to it," he said.
If ever Obama was going to side with an ally in a show of solidarity for that nation's current ruler, this is that time.

Lupita Nyong'o Wears Blue Lipstick at Star Wars Premiere
Star Wars premieres around the world taking its stars from one red carpet to the next. This time around the franchise actress Lupita Nyong'o surprised London fans with frosty blue lipstick. She also sported a creative updo and massive statement earrings to complement her look.
Lupita Nyong'o Blue Lipstick
The actress' makeup artist Nick Barose explained the look saying:
We went for a bold, unexpected blue lip to complement the metallic Proenza Schouler design"
He also offered a tip on pulling it off:
The key to making the look daring yet sophisticated was breaking the rules to get the lip right. We played with [eye] shadows to get a blue shade that was deep and rich, but not overly edgy."
The sparkly eye shadows play well with the earrings and lipstick texture as well. The look would be a beautiful holiday option for bold and daring. What do you think? Blue lipstick, yay or nay?
