LIVERPOOL legend Kenny Dalglish led the way as thousands of Santas took to the streets.
Organisers of Liverpool's first Santa Dash said about 2,000 entered yesterday's 3.5-mile festive fun run.
The ECHO's Sunrise Fund was the big winner, supporting the Marina Dalglish Appeal to build a cancer centre for Liverpool.
Marina battled back from breast cancer with the help of expert treatment at Fazakerley hospital.
Now she and her husband - with help from the ever-generous ECHO readers - are hoping to repay the hospital for their dedication.
Kenny said: "The care of the doctors and the nurses is second to none.
"We want to improve the facilities to match the quality of the care." After the dash they took part in a Santa parade.
Runners must get all their sponsorship money in byJanuary 15.

Happy Halloween

I just had an image of you writing what he said down on paper, crumpling it up, and flushing it down the toilet as a big old FUCK YOU to the pain of what he said to you and the way it made you feel.ReplyDelete
I couldn't not share.
I hope you get your holiday back ((((((HUG))))))
Ha! But seriously, I couldn't put it on paper for even a second.ReplyDelete
How are you hanging in Ms. Kelly?
I'm well. I am realizing that I like who I am and I will be who I am regardless of who is in my presence :) It is a little weird, but a good weird.ReplyDelete
I hate the way some people have used their words to lash my soul to pieces, it isn't right or fair or good.
No, it isn't right or fair or good. But you don't have to listen anymore. :)ReplyDelete
Doesn't it seem as though a little piece of yourself has yet again been stolen? Whenever something that was a favorite of mine is ruined in this way, that is exactly how I feel. I love Halloween and thankfully it has not been tarnished by harsh memories, but there are other things that were. Sorry you've lost this little piece of fun in your life!ReplyDelete
RB, yes, it does feel like parts of me have been stolen, and I want them back.ReplyDelete

*** DISCLAIMER – Don't read if you have a weak stomach or are offended easy ***
Porcelain toilets, Private Masturbation and the Freedom to Eat Whatever the Hell You Want; these are the small things in life that we don't miss until they are gone.
We often go through life taking advantage of some of these small things like running water, clean underwear, eating out, eating her out and Netflix just to name a few.
We become a habit to our society. Things just don't seem as exciting as they once were. Take anything that you do on a normal basis and remember the first time you did it. That spark and excitement just isn't like it used to be.
There is an old saying "you don't know what you got until it's gone", well this couldn't be any truer.
I'm going to talk about three of the biggest things that 90% of military guys miss when they are deployed.
- Porcelain Toilets – It might sound crazy, but 6 months shitting in a hole in the desert will really make you miss the smooth, cool feel of a toilet seat touching your ass cheeks. There is just something divine about relieving your bowels in comfort.
I remember on the way back from my first deployment we made a stop in Germany. When we got off the plane it was a mad dash to 2 places, the beer line and the bathroom. One of the coolest things about European countries is you have this neat little mini toilette that splashes water on your butt making you feel extra clean, extra fresh and ready for anything the day might throw at you. – America we need to get with the program –
- Masturbating in Private – There is nothing more annoying than being 3 months into a deployment with all guys and being sexually frustrated. We don't have many options when it comes to private time because we don't really get any. We really only have 3 choices.
We can take care of business during the day in a porta john while it is 150 degrees and have "Wagoner Loves the Cock" graffiti staring at us while trying to flip through a Maxim magazine. The problem with this is by the time you get done you are sweating bullets and you come out looking like you just went swimming in there. It's a great way to lose about 15 pounds.
Another option is to wait until the night shift in the guard tower. You have to be very discreet and quiet. You don't have any reading material and have to time it just right in order to not get caught. It also helps keep you awake at the wee hours of the night.
The last and 3rd option is to discreetly pleasure yourself while in your sleeping bag. The trick is to wait until everyone around you is asleep and then casual play with yourself. There will be a couple scares throughout the night due to mouth breathers waking themselves up, so you will have to play the stroking off as if you are rolling over real quick trying to get comfortable. Oh, the struggle of being a male.
- Freedom of Eating Whatever the Hell You Want
Contrary to popular belief we don't always get Outback Steakhouse on deployment. The food we get would make a pig croak. Jambalaya, Veggie Meals, Tortellini – they might sound somewhat normal but don't let the names fool you. Whoever's sick idea it was to name MRE's after normal food can rot in hell. The only way you can even stomach these things is if you mix EVERYTHING together. The only good thing about them is they come with a self-activating heater that you can warm the food up in. So instead of having cold animal puke you can warm it up so it slides down your throat faster.
Three months in we get used to it and that's when we really start fighting over parts of the MRE. They even have a MRE Cookbook floating around the internet somewhere. Someone actually took the time to mix different meals together in order to make these things somewhat tolerable. Every bite we take we just imagine a nice warm juicy steak or big bowl of zesty spaghetti. It doesn't make the food taste any better but hey we can always dream.
After eating those things for 7 months straight your bowels are all messed up. MRE's are designed to keep you plugged up so you don't have to shit every day. It hardens your bowels and when you do have to go to the bathroom, you REALLY go to the bathroom. This is why when we come home from deployment we rush to the burger joint, taco bell, steak houses etc. The only problem with this is we will then suffer for the next 2 weeks in the bathroom as our stomach is comprehending what the hell is going on.
If you have managed to make it through this article then you are a little bit more knowledgeable on what goes through our head when we get home from deployment. If you know or live with someone who is in the military, have a little patience with them when they get home from deployment. If they seem a little distant it has nothing to do with you, its culture shock all over again. It's like putting a monkey on the streets of downtown Manhattan and telling him to be like everyone else. Not to mention the mental effect a deployment may have had on them, but that's a whole different story.
My final thought: Don't' take advantage of the small things in life. You never know what may happen in the future and life as you know it could be taken away from you in a heartbeat.

Architect Zaha Hadid Designs Adidas Sneakers for Pharrell
Singer Commissioned His Artistic Icons for Supershell Collection
By Alexandra Jardine. Published on Jul 24, 2015
Editor's Pick
Could shoe design get any more high concept? Adidas is taking it to a new level with its latest collection, a collaboration with Pharrell Williams that features designs from architect Zaha Hadid and other renowned creatives. The Supershell collection, which according to Adidas is "coming soon," also includes designs from New York graffiti artist Todd James, Japanese artist Mr., and photographer Cass Bird.
As Williams explains in this video, all of the above are creatives who he considers to be icons, "curious" people "who usher in the differences and the changes." What's more, with prices around $100, these artistic creations aren't way out of the league of ordinary consumers.

Claret Cup Cactus
Pincushion Cactus
I like to walk in the hills west of Socorro where the desert is brightened up in early spring by mounds of briliant red cactus flowers and one has to be careful not to step on the much smaller aptly named pincuhsion cactus with delicate soft whitish-pink flowers. In the spring of 2017 I chopped down my juniper tree, it really was not doing well but the bark looked lovely so I took a series of photographs before it was cut down to remember it by.

Update : from June 2006, I'm changing this page around a bit, maybe adding more thumbnails, so please bear with any upheaval over the next few months!
Here are some Fabulous pictures gifted to me, for which I'll be eternally grateful! and some that I just want to share with you. Many were inspired by or created for my fics, so they're drawn for Gundam Wing. They're also linked to the individual fics on the fiction pages.
There's some great talent here - I've included the artist's details against each one (where I can), so that you can seek out more of their work too!
* If anyone here does/doesn't want their details included, or if I've got any names wrong or anything, please let me know.
* And if anyone feels inspired by my fics to draw anything, I'd be thrilled to hear from you, and to include it here!
* P.S. the animated icon has been created from pictures that I drew, then cynbaby coloured and animated them!

What a near tragedy.
I believe I'm beyond the statute of limitations of telling on myself on this one, so buckle up.
A few months ago, I was invited to make a presentation to a group of the finest men's clothing stores in the country. These are the people that sell Brioni, Pal Zileri, Burberry, John Varvatos, Zegna and Luciano Barbera.
I was invited at the last minute. I drove home in a panic, packed and headed to the airport.
The meeting was in Las Vegas. The town that REALLY never sleeps.
I got to the hotel after midnight.
I had to present at 8 in the morning.
As I unpacked, I was feeling good. I had grabbed my one Savile Row suit, a fine Italian shirt, and the perfect cap-toed shoes.
In less than 8 hours, I'm going to be standing in front of the best dressed group of men in the country.
Then the horror.
No underwear. I had not packed any clean Kimbies.
Do I go with the dirty boxer briefs I have on? Turn them inside out? Go commando?
Then I figure out I packed no socks, either.
The only socks I have are the stinky low-cut white ones with the Nike swooshes on my feet.
It's one in the morning. Oh, Dear Lord. Oh, Dear Armani. Oh, Dear Concierge.
Oh, Dear Walgreens.
At one in the morning, that was the only place in the hotel open that sold underwear and socks.
To the back wall I go. I pick up a package of black socks. That was easy because that's the only kind of socks Walgreens carries.
Now, underwear.
I find the section of boxer briefs and pick the least appalling of the horror show colors.
Whew. I get back to the room, and am so relieved. A few hours sleep, and I'm going to knock 'em dead.
At 6am, the alarm goes off and I have the, "Where the hell am I" moment.
Oh, yeah. Quick shower so I can get dressed and go find the meeting room in the convention area the size of North Dakota.
I open the Walgreens underwear, and it isn't a good thing.
They are bikini briefs. The colors of a month old Easter basket.
Quick, check yesterday's pair. Not a good idea, either.
So, I put a pair on and start looking for Richard Simmons to pop out of the closet with a camera. I am scarred for life.
Hurry, put your suit on and you'll forget about it.
No I won't. Indian underwear. They keeping creeping up behind.
Oh, suck it up.
Open the fresh black socks.
Walgreens apparently has used some General Motors logic. Put the same crap in different packages and no one will notice.
These are supposed to be socks. They are as sheer as La Perla lace.
More skin and leg hair is showing than sock.
I determine that if I never sit down, no one will ever see shins.
Not feeling my most confident, I finish getting dressed and head out into the real world.
I felt exactly like I do when I have that dream about being naked in the high school cafeteria.
I have the sense that everyone in this lobby has xray eyes and can see my ugly bikini briefs and bad socks.
I find the meeting room, find a place where I can stand up until it's my turn to present, and grimace my way thru my presentation.
So far as I can tell, none of these tailors to America's gentry was any the wiser.
The only person I'm worried about is the housekeeper for room 14765 in the Northeast Tower.
She was in the hallway when I left the room after I changed following the meeting.
Commando. Sockless. And relieved.

Pretty Little Liars. I've loved this show since the beginning. This is my dedication to these lovely ladies who snagged their dream jobs.
Today's Style Moment goes to Troian Bellisario. She plays the very preppy, argyle down to her socks Spencer Hastings. However, Troian's personal style is very different from her character's. She is into rustic decor, outdoor adventures, aerial yoga, and comfortable yet free spirited clothing. Above is a picture of her spin on a garden party/tea time/picnic look. The vintage inspired dress is very romantic and girly. The addition of the leather belt, brown hat, aviator shades, and messy hair toughens up her look and makes it her own. Troian is living out her dreams on screen and in her lifestyle.

Industrial real estate operator and developer Prologis, Inc. has signed a lease last week with a global third-party logistics provider for approximately 382,000 square feet (35,490 square meters) of its Chengdu Airport Logistics Center.
The lease was inked eight months prior to the set schedule, and while the project is currently under construction. The second phase of Chengdu Airport Project is 100 percent pre-leased.
Prologis previously signed four new lease agreements in the second quarter, which totaled approximately 723,000 square feet (67,350 square meters), in three facilities in its Japan development portfolio.
Mike Yamada, president of Prologis Japan, said then on the four leases: "Our facilities represent some of the most modern and soundly constructed buildings available, incorporating numerous sustainable features and seismic resistance technology. Now more than ever, customers recognize the value of these features to their business continuity."
Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, is the major transportation hub serving western China. The customer will occupy phase two of the project, comprising two buildings, which will be completed by December 2011 and April 2012.
Gary Anderson, chief executive officer for Europe and Asia of the California-based real estate company, said: "We broke ground on phase one of this project in April 2011 and on phase two of this project in July 2011 and are already fully leased, indicating that there is significant demand for Class A logistics facilities in western China.
"A wide range of manufacturing and retail customers need space to service a rapidly growing consumer market. The park is ideally located for regional distribution and we are pleased to welcome this global customer to our project in Chengdu."
Prologis Chengdu Airport Logistics Center is adjacent to the Chengdu International Airport and near the city center. It provides easy access to key transportation networks.
The project represents a key market in Prologis' China portfolio, which as of March 31 totaled approximately 6.4 million square feet (594,560 square meters) of distribution space, completed or under development across the Americas, Europe and Asia.
S&P 500 member Prologis has over $44 billion in real estate assets under management and operates in 22 countries.

What it's like being a witch in New York City
View Slideshow
A pint-sized pup is keeping harried Hillary Clinton staffers calm.
A tiara-wearing 6-year-old Pomeranian-Schipperke mix named Winnie has become the mascot of Clinton's Brooklyn headquarters, cheering up weary staffers slogging through 2016's interminable presidential race.
Clinton tech team member Timothy Ball, 39, started bringing her to work last November, reading her media clips in the morning, keeping her under his desk and taking her for walks in Cadman Plaza.
She has become a darling of Clinton's hoodie and jeans-clad staffers who fed her Cheetos, pizza scraps, and leftover pieces of fried chicken during Clinton's televised speeches and late-night strategy sessions.
"I've never heard her bark. She's the most chill dog I've ever seen and totally unflappable — just like our candidate," said campaign software engineer Rachel Cantor, who runs Winnie's Facebook and Instagram feeds.
Winnie has modeled Clinton campaign T-shirts for toddlers, taken selfies with songwriter Carol King and actress Yael Stone, and has been animated in a new campaign app designed to get supporters to volunteer.
She only met Clinton once when the nominee made a visit to the campaign's 11th Floor Pierrepont Street office in July.
"Hillary was walking around and meeting all the teams, saw her, and said, 'Oh there's a dog on the desk!'" Ball said.

How can Diamond Kote Pre-finishing offer a 30-year, NO FADE Warranty?
Better Paint
The paint utilized by Diamond Kote is engineered specifically for each substrate and designed to be applied in a factory setting by computer-calibrated sprayers. The sprayers break down the paint as it is applied to ensure better adhesion and durability. The paint itself is made with naturally derived pigments such as iron oxide and carbon, combined with 97% pure Titanium Dioxide and 100 acrylic polymers. The vibrant colors withstand fade better than any on the market.
Better Process
The process ensures that every inch of every board receives two uniform coats of finish. This process helps retain the beautiful wood grain profile of the LP SmartSide.
Advantages of LP SmartSide over Fiber Cement Products
- Impact Resistant
- NASA report: evaluations of impact damage of two types of commercial siding (see image)
- More Realistic wood grain pattern vs Fiber Cement Products
- Easier to Install
- Lighter per foot and stronger than fiber cement
- Easier to carry and requires no special tools to install
- Up to 33% Fewer Seams
- Comes in 16′ lengths vs fiber cement 12′ lengths resulting in fewer seams
- Better Warranty
- 50 year substrate warranty vs 30 year substrate warranty
- 30 year Diamond Kote Pre-finish warranty vs 15 year ColorPlus Pre-finish

I saw that my opponent did a debate on this as the con side saying that war can never be good, and I don't feel that his opponent did a great job defending the pro side of the resolution. Therefore, I will extend out a second opportunity to debate this topic so that we can really get a good discussion going.
Resolved: War can be good.
The burden on the Pro is to prove that there is a situation where entering war is good. The burden on the Con is to prove that entering into a war, regardless of the situation, can NEVER be good.
First round will be acceptance. Second round will start argumentation. No new arguments will be presented in the last round, but you may refute already made arguments in the last round, as well as give a conclusion statement.
I thank my opponent for accepting this debate. I realize now that he is relatively new to the site, and so I would like to offer my most sincere welcome to him to our quite lovely site here and hope he enjoys his stay here on DDO (Debate Dot Org), whatever the length of his stay may be. With professionalism out of the way, lets get started, shall we?
>> What is Good? <<
It seems counterproductive to go into a discussion about whether war is a good thing or not without even going into what "good" really is, since it is such a vague concept. What exactly do we consider good? What creates it, and how do we measure the goodness of something? Do we measure good in the objective sense that, much like mathematics, is always the same no matter of our understanding of it? Or is good measured in the subjective sense that, much like our personal feelings, we define for ourselves and can only apply as far as ourselves and not onto others, who have defined and applied to themselves? Well, thank god for philosophy, or otherwise I would've wasted my time asking a bunch of useless rhetorical questions. Instead of taking just one position and defending it to the death, I feel that both sides of the coin can and do serve my purposes. I propose two answers to what we define as good.
Answer One: Utilitarianism
Utilitarianism is a very simple idea with quite the mundane name. The idea and concept behind it is rather simple, really: when we ask ourselves what is good, we can determine what is good by the effects of the action. If the benefits of the action outweigh the harms of the action, then we know we have commited a morally "good" action, as it has done more help than harm.If, however, the harms of the action outweighed its benefits, then we could conclude that the action was not a "moral" one, but rather an "immoral" one, as it did more harm than help.
Why does such a simple concept need such an overly long and confusing name? Beats me, but if you ask me it causes more harm to the well-being of my head than it does help.
Of course, utilitarianism (shortened to util from here on out) does presuppose that morality is objective. But what if morality were subjective? Then we arrive at my second answer:
Answer Two: Egoism
Egoism, specifically weak egoism as I will advocate, means a lot like what it sounds: morality is all about us humans. What we consider to be a "moral" action is based off of what what we consider to be in our self-interest. Of course, this presumes that morality is subjective since not only do people have different self-interests (while you may be self-interested in seeing war abolished, I do not share the same interests necessarily, and so on) but also self-interests are subject to near constant change (while I may have been interested in blonde women in my early pre-teen years, I hold a much more massive interest in gingers today).
I will be defending both of these, and I need only win one to prove under a circumstance that War can be good. It is up to my opponent to refute both successfully, as he must prove that war can never be good, as per the mutually agreed upon wording of the resolution.
>> Why wage war at all? <<
This is another fairly basic question that I feel needs to be asked before we can go any further. Sure we can define good nine ways from Sunday, but it doesn't do us any good if we can't figure out why people wage wars in the first place. Why do we attack someone? What purpose does it actually bring about? Sure we could bring up certain materialistic wants like land or weath or oil or something else along those lines, but that doesn't actually explain the war, as there are other ways to obtain those things. So why do we wage war? I believe Aristotle once wisely spoke the answer to this when he said that "We make war that we may live in peace", which perfectly explains why we would want war. Allow me to put it in a different way. This principle can be explained when taking in how two brothers act in a disagreement, especially if the disagreement is heated. The two brothers will argue it out, then voices will start to rise, then anger will start to rise, and eventually one of them just takes a swing at the other. Then comes a bit of a brawl and a tussle, as they fight it out, and eventually, it stops. They dust themselves off, and do what all good brothers do: hug it out and get over it. It ends the fight and the disagreement. Had they not fought, the disagreement would've continued and they would've been there eternally fighting or would've left discontent and still feuding, which doesn't solve the problem. The fighting allowed them to vent their anger and reach a decision or compromise that would end the fighting and return to being civilized brothers. So while war may be initially horrible, just like fighting is initially horrible, the lasting peace at the end of the war will outweigh the harms of having waged war.
>> How can Peace come from War? <<
Now you may be asking, much like how my opponent is probably asking, "How can peace come from fighting? Aren't they by nature contradictory?". It seems like a valid point, but it really isn't. I will concede that wars suck. Wars are horrible. Killing people sucks. Ruining lives and families and tearing brothers away from their families and fathers away from their wives is a horrible thing to have happen. But, the more it happens, the more we realize it happens, and the less we want to do it for that very reason: it's horrible. As the brilliant Confederate general, Robert E. Lee once said "It is well that war is so terrible, lest we should grow too fond of it." The more war happens, therefore, the less we want war to happen, and the longer we will achieve peace. It will eventually get down to the point wlhere after a war there will BE no more wars. We will eventually have ever-lasting peace. But that is impossible without wars.
>> Why do we want Peace? <<
So why do we want peace? Why is peace good? Peace has probably the easiest link back into both of the answers for what is good.
The Link to Util
Peace links back into util because the effects of peace produce more help than harm. We're not killing people in peace, so more lives are being saved. That means whatever gets us peace is a good action, which in this case means war.
The Link to Egoism
Peace links back into egoism since it's in our self-interest to not kill off our family members through war. I mean, let's be reasonable here: I don't want to see my dad get shot in some unknown country in Africa or my brother get shot invading Russia. I doubt any person wants to see their family members killed in war. Thus, whatever gets us peace is in our self-interest, as we want peace. That means it's within our self-interest to wage war, as the end result is peace.
Thus, I believe that wars can be good, as the inevitable end result is peace. Thus, the resolution is affirmed.
Like_a_Boss forfeited this round.
Lame. Just when I was looking forward to a good debate.
Fair enough. I can certainly understand.

Originals or re-engineered?
By Anthony Brough
Not all re-engineered parts provide equal or better performance or life
to the original components they are replacing, so a careful evaluation
should become part of the purchase consideration.
The use of re-engineered parts versus
original components is a somewhat
controversial topic. It is well known that
gas turbine OEM's invest heavily in human
resources, development tools, development
capital and research when introducing a
new gas turbine model with precisely
designed components that will ensure
the operational objectives of the new
or uprated turbine model.
Over the course of the last 10-15 years
these developments have led to many
valuable improvements such as ultra-low
combustion systems, 3D aero-profiling
of airfoils, advanced metallurgy, new
coating technologies, and advanced cooling methodologies. These advancements, have yielded significant improvements in gas turbine operational performance:
■ Lower emissions
■ Higher output power
■ Increased thermal efficiencies
■ Faster start-up and loading times
■ Sometimes extended outage intervals.
However, these improvements have come at a cost. Component replacement, particularly hot-section components can be expensive, driven by increased manufacturing cost and the need to recover investment capital. Independent service providers over the past 10-15 years have become proficient at duplicating, and sometimes improving the design and manufacture of these components. The development, advancement, and utilization of imaging, coordinate measuring machine (CMM), and metallurgical analysis tools have led to a virtual explosion
of non-OEM component development.
What are re-engineered parts?
Components designed and manufactured by independent or third parties, intended as a direct replacement for OEM designed and manufactured parts are called re-engineered parts (REPs). Often, the re-engineered part may have metallurgical
or other changes that address a shortcoming of the OEM part or some other improvement. Other changes may be intended to reduce cost or to avoid conflict with intellectual property rights. There may be other names for these types of components, but for this article we will use the REP nomenclature.
REPs are "form, fit, and functionally" equivalent to OEM parts, or may have certain upgrades or changes implemented to improve on either the performance or the durability of the OEM equivalent. However, not all REP components provide equal or better performance or life, so a careful evaluation should become part of the purchase consideration.
OEM vs. REP
When making comparisons it is easy to conclude that one entity is "better" than the other, but there are true positive and negative aspects to both participants. The decision to utilize an OEM vs. an REP component in a gas turbine comes down to
several factors:
Cost: OEM components are almost always costlier to purchase than an REP component. Typically, an REP can be purchased at 50-80% of the OEM list price. From the OEM perspective, they have invested a great deal of money and effort into designing their gas turbine (and the associated components) and they rely on both the original turbine sale and the aftermarket annuity to recover their investment. Recovering this substantial investment is an understandable expectation, however during many years, annual OEM price escalations can often lead to individual component prices that simply contradict the "market comparable" expectations. As gas turbine models approach "legacy status" (which we define as 20 years and older), operators and other service providers often turn to REPs as a cost-effective alternative.

Military Gallery
"Rendezvous with Destiny: the 101st Airborne Division and D-Day
Opening at Military Branch on June 6
The Tennessee State Museum opened an exhibition on June 6, 2014, the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, commemorating the service and elite tradition of the 101st Airborne Division. The exhibit, "Rendezvous with Destiny: the 101st Airborne Division and D-Day, is free to the public and is on view in the gallery of the Military Branch of the Tennessee State Museum located in the War Memorial Building in downtown Nashville.
The 101st ("Screaming Eagles), now headquartered at Fort Campbell, participated in the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, when units of the 101st parachuted behind enemy lines in France. Their charge was to disrupt German defenses while providing invaluable support to the Allied troops who, hours later, stormed the beaches.
The 101st , activated in August 1942, underwent rigorous training in preparation for the heavy fighting ahead. An important part of that training occurred in Tennessee during the 1943 maneuvers. Almost as a premonition of the future, Major General William C. Lee, the first commander of the 101st, famously said: "The 101st¦has no history, but it has a rendezvous with destiny.
The drama and heroism of the 101st and its role in the liberation of Europe was recently captured in the HBO series, "Band of Brothers, which was based on a book by Stephen Ambrose. "Band of Brothers features a 101st unit, "Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, and its commanding officer, Richard "Dick Winters.
The exhibition will feature a selection of historic artifacts from the museum at Fort Campbell and from the collection of the State Museum, as well as the uniform, pistol, and other personal items of Dick Winters, borrowed from a private collection. The exhibit will also showcase some selected scenes from "Band of Brothers, through the cooperation of HBO.
"The 101st Airborne Division is one of the most storied and illustrious units in the U.S. Armed Forces, Lois Riggins-Ezzell, Museum Director, said. "The museum is honored to present their history.
The 101st ˜s post-World War II service will also be recognized including the division's Vietnam, Desert Storm, Desert Shield service, as well as its current deployments.
"Rendezvous with Destiny: the 101st Airborne Division and D-Day will be on view through January 10, 2015.

Use Real Times
Problem: How does Excel deal with time?
Strategy: In Excel, 1 day is represented by the number 1. That means that time is stored as a decimal portion of a day. Go to any cell. Enter 0.5. Format the cell as time and you will get 12 noon, because half of the day has elapsed at noon.
I can name a few other times right off the top of my head. 6AM is stored as 0.25. 9PM is 0.875. 3AM is 0.125. Beyond that, it gets a tougher. What fraction of the day has elapsed at 3:42PM. That is a little tougher to calculate in your head.
Figure 565 Format the numbers in row 1 as time and you get row 3.
In the next figure, I used =RAND() in a bunch of cells and formatted those as time.

Why is Google Page Speed Optimization Important
It's important because Google wants to serve up the best possible websites it's search results. If you, the end-user of a Google Search, starts clicking on the top ten links a Google Search returns, and the websites are all non-responsive or loading slowly, you are going to get frustrated. Maybe these websites are exactly what you are looking for, but if they are slow to load it's not going to be worth the wait.
That's why Google Page Speed optimization is so important. If two sites have similar content, and SEO, Google is going show the site that has a higher Google Page Speed first.

The annual process of determining whether some new service or route should be added to Butte Regional Transit gets underway with a series of workshops starting Monday.
Every year the Butte Association of Governments — which runs the B-Line — is required to take input from transit users whether there's something they need from the transit system that they aren't getting.
BCAG staff evaluate the comments to see whether its reasonable to provide that new service, a calculation usually hinging on whether enough will use the new service to pay a required portion of its cost.
The question of whether there's enough money available to provide the service also comes into consideration.
Comments can be mailed to Butte County Association of Governments, 326 Huss Drive, Suite 150, Chico, CA, 95928; or emailed to email@example.com; or phoned in to 809-4616; or faxed to 891-2979.
They can also be made in person at the following workshops:
• Oroville: 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Monday in the Oroville City Council Chambers, 1735 Montgomery St.
• Paradise: 2-3 p.m. Monday in Paradise Town Hall, 5555 Skyway.
• Chico: 1-3 p.m. Tuesday in the Chico library, East First and Sherman avenues.
• Gridley: 1-2 p.m. Thursday in the city of Gridley community room, 685 Kentucky St.
Comments also can be made at a public hearing at the BCAG board of directors meeting, 9 a.m. Feb. 22 in the BCAG Council Chambers, 326 Huss Drive.

Now, let's take a look at the day-by-day account:
Day One: The mani survived the day (with lots of hand washing etc) and also a hot shower. I got a small chip on one of my thumbs and the polish on my right index finger started peeling at the free edge, so I put some top coat on it and wrapped the tip to make it stay down.
Day Two: I had small chips on a couple of my nails but other than that, everything looked fine. I kept the mani on for 3/4 of the day before taking it off, but I think that it would have survived another shower or two!
Removal: The removal had me in raptures. I was making little exclamations of joy to myself, alone in my bathroom, as I peeled all the polish off my nails. Wow. Thanks to the thicker base coat of PVA, all the polish on my nails peeled off in single sheets, without any damage to my natural nail. There was a bit of polish remaining on the sides of my nails where I'd obviously missed applying PVA, so I needed a bit of remover to clean up.
Overall: After finding this attempt at PVA base coat successful, I can make an informed recommendation that this method is fantastic for short-term (1-2 days) wear and really takes the dread out of scrubbing/acetoning your fingers to death when you wear glitter polish. This is a method I'm definitely going to be using a lot in the future!

Having a positive impact on children's education is the best way to affect the future. If you're looking for voluntary experience during your gap year, while visiting a beautiful location, read on! Participating on this project, you will work alongside the local people on the island of Palawan to improve the English skills of the children at the Kindergarten. As English is an essential skill for improved future prospects, the children benefit greatly from the input of native English speakers. Your work will focus on engaging with the children through the English language in a fun and memorable way. Through your interactions, you can inspire them and start them off on pathways to successful futures. By working closely with the local staff, you will gain invaluable knowledge and understanding of the Filipino culture, as well as having opportunities to create bonds and friendships. Children who attend the Kindergarten, which is in the Tigman area of Palawan, are between the ages of 3 and 5. While your main responsibilities will lie with facilitating excellent learning opportunities for the children, you will also learn about the day-to-day running of the centre, and assist with the general care-taking of the children. As a result, the activities you carry out during your working day will be varied and active, ranging from cutting nails, to organising classes and delivering lessons through games and activities. Intercultural exchanges are also very important for the children to gain a wider perspective of the world, and they make a very receptive audience. Participants are encouraged to bring photographs, artistic representations or relevant objects from home that would make it easier to share highlights about your culture.
Monday to Friday
Your day will begin with breakfast followed by a short journey to the Kindergarten. Activities at the Kindergarten will be varied and responsive to the needs of the children. During the morning session, you will deliver experiential learning activities which will encourage the children's development of English language skills. How you deliver the lessons is up to you, but you will be encouraged to use games, songs, role play and other interactive methods. After lunch you will have time to prepare for the next day's activities before enjoying a relaxing dinner and evening at the accommodation centre.

At one time the responsibility for teaching students how to locate information rested with the professional school librarian/media specialist. Now national and state standards recognize the enormity of this inquiry dimension and place the responsibility for instruction with every teacher in all disciplines. But it's broader than just locating the information -- it's teaching the inquiry process.
The dimension of locating information has grown exponentially with the internet and tools that allow easy and constant access. The old adage, 'don't believe everything you read in the newspaper' takes on new meaning with the internet. Students must be able to find and use the best resources available which requires search skills. Beyond finding the information this dimension also includes the abilities to recognize needed information, explore relationships, take notes, summarize and so forth. In addition, students must be able to organize their information and manage material. Students must also learn the value and need for validating information and being able to go back to the source.

In this edition of Take 5, Gary reminds members about the upcoming MASA/MASE Spring Conference and provides a quick MN legislative update.

The AdvocateFebruary 2017Noelle Ellerson NgAssociate Executive Director, Policy and AdvocacyAASA, The School Superintendents Association
2017: The Year of School Superintendent Advocacy
With a new year, a new Congress, and a new administration, now is as good a time as ever to issue an advocacy challenge. And while here at AASA we focus on federal advocacy, the premise of this month's article can apply just as readily to state and local advocacy.
When it comes to advocacy, Sasha, Leslie, Deanna and I have found someone to pay us full time to do advocacy. When you—AASA's members—do advocacy, it is in addition to your day-time job of running a school system. A large part of our job is to support AASA members in their advocacy efforts and it is an explicit benefit of belonging to both AASA and your state superintendent association to have support for advocacy.
Tying back to an idea we outlined in the October edition of School Administrator, advocacy can be as quick as 15 minutes a month (5 minutes a week). Peruse the full issue, or read the feature article on the role of superintendent as advocate. Which brings me to the 2017 advocacy challenge.
Each month of this year, our team will identify a topic or two—whether driven by the AASA legislative agenda or by current goings on with Congress or the administration—and provide advocacy support. That is, we'll give a bit of quick background on the topic, explain the relevant policy proposals and implications, and then share a few talking points that you can use to weigh in with your Congressional delegation (your Representative and both your Senators). You can take that information to craft your monthly outreach—contacting one office per week—to your Congressional delegation, to relay the policy priorities in the context of what it means for your schools and the students you serve.
We stand by ready to answer any questions you may have. Do you not know the name or email address of the education staffer in your Senator's office? We can provide that for you. Are you interested in seeing who from your state serves on certain House or Senate committees? Did your Congress member reach out with a different question, and you'd like information about that? We can get that to you.
We are using the February advocacy challenge to make an introduction and extend an invite. Congress is adjourned for recess at regular intervals, meaning they will be in their home districts frequently. Recess is an opportune time to invite your elected officials (and/or their education staffers) to see your schools in action. Highlight your programs that are excelling (After school? English Learner support? Early education? Credit Recovery?). Give examples where you could do more with better federal support (High class room sizes? Teacher shortages? Limited opportunity for CTE?). Facilitate a community conversation with stakeholders about ESSA (or education technology, or school nutrition, or rural education).
It is an introductory round this first month, and will be more substantive and policy-specific next month.
Thank you, in advance, for your continued advocacy efforts and support for AASA advocacy. And, as always let us know if you need anything.

Charity Support Activities
We support charities organising fund raising events, such as cross country fun runs, where they need marshals to be mobile. In 2012 the club was awarded the Cancer Research Flame of Hope commendation in recognition of the support the club has provided.
What we do and how to get involved
Since the inception of our Easter Interclub we have supported the Essex Air Ambulance, and that has been running for over 10 years.
Each year we now nominate a charity that we will support with profits from our Annual Easter Interclub, collections for 4×4 rides at shows and takings from raffles at events – currently this continues to be the Essex Air Ambulance.
Our members are called upon by various charity event organisers to assist in the running of the event.
How we support Charity events
We offer support to charity events, the main one being Cancer Research UK, to provide marshals and to assist with setting up, running and packing up events. We also assist the medical teams to move around the event and evacuate any casualties. These typically include fun runs where there are significant numbers of entrants taking part and an offroad vehicle is required.
Our volunteers assist with a wide range of jobs, working alongside the charity staff and volunteers from other organisations such as Raynet and Red Cross.
For our members that volunteer it is a way to get involved and be part of something much bigger, and to do 'our bit' to help these charities.
Events that we have supported include:
- Cancer Research – Race for Life, Chelmsford
- Cancer Research – Race for Life, Colchester
- Cancer Research – Race for Life, Brentwood
- Cancer Research – Race for Life, Epping
- Cancer Research – Race for Life, Southend
- Farleigh Hospice – Santa Fun Run
- Action Medical 100 Mile Bike ride
An Award for supporting.
Event organisers – how we can help you.
If you are planning an event and need extra man power we can offer you people and transport to assist your organisation in setting up the event. Please contact us to discuss what you need, and how we can help. – Contact our Charity Support Coordinator: Nigel Wood

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has told 10 retirees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that their departure from Government doesn't mean that they are forgotten and stressed that "there is always life after retirement."
"To all of you, it was an opportunity to benefit from your commitment to country; a big thank you. As you go into retirement, there's a life beyond," she said, jokingly adding, "There's going to be a life for you after retirement; likewise, I'm headed down the road you're on as there's going to be a life for me after retirement."
According to a Foreign Ministry release, the Liberian leader made the statement at the honoring program for 10 long service career diplomats of the Liberian Foreign Service who were honored for their invaluable services to the country.
The program was held at the Foreign Ministry's C. Cecil Dennis, Jr. Auditorium on Tuesday, August 1, 2017.
President Sirleaf used the opportunity to express thanks and appreciation to the honorees' families, associates and workmates that enabled them serve their country for such a long period and to do so under difficult circumstances.
She recounted the numerous opportunities she has had to sit with them at their places of assignment to strategize about how they could achieve targets set out by Government and during those sessions she benefitted immensely from their thoughts, work and commitment that enabled her Government achieve those targets for the nation.
"The nation owes you gratitude," she said, and stressed that Government must find a way to reach out to them in a personal way to show some gratitude for the work they've done over the years.
The Liberian leader prayed that God keeps them strong, healthy and keep their families together as they move on with their lives.
Speaking earlier, Foreign Minister Marjon V. Kamara called for a moment of silence for the passing, on Sunday, July 30, of Liberia's Ambassador to Egypt, Mr. Alexander H.N. Wallace, III.
She used the occasion to express heartfelt appreciation to all the honorees on behalf of Government and the people of Liberia, particularly the Ministry of Foreign Affairs family, being fully aware of the great personal sacrifices that they have made as they diligently discharged their duties giving the best years of their lives to the service of Liberia.
"Most of you have spent several years in the foreign service, building and sustaining relations between Liberia and countries to which you were assigned during the course of your duty," Minister Kamara stressed.
She also recognized with deep thanks and appreciation, the contribution of the families of the honorees, who provided them with the emotional support behind the scenes which kept them going.
"No doubt, you would not have been successful in your diplomatic career if they had not allowed and supported you throughout your foreign service postings," Minister Kamara indicated.
She noted that most family members of the honorees had endured emotional anguish of their long absence, serving at various hardship posts where families could not stay permanently.
Foreign Minister Kamara told the honorees: "In those years of service, you have given to this nation, some of the finest minds it will ever know. Today, Liberia is gratified and feels indebted. You can be assured that your selfless gesture to this nation shall not be in vain and never be taken for granted."
She reminded the honorees that the Foreign Ministry remains their home.
In response, Senior Ambassador-At-Large, Ambassador Marcus M. Kofa, stated that he and his colleagues were grateful to President Sirleaf for the decision to provide a cushion for their soft landing from active public service to the quietude of a private life.
"This has been the realization of our greatest desire to retire with a secured future and respect," he said.
Mr. Kofa, the longest serving Liberian Foreign Service official retired, noted that their unfailing courtesy and high fidelity with which they performed the most difficult tasks as image bearers of the Government of Liberia to foreign countries have more than justified all the kind words which have been said about them.
"We can only thank you for these expressions of your belief that we have made some positive approaches towards the ideals of a good diplomat," Ambassador Kofa emphasized.
As he remembered how they served in those missions under difficult circumstances, he thanked the administration of President Sirleaf for making significant improvements in budgetary support to Liberia's Missions abroad.
Ambassador Kofa noted that for the thoughtfulness and the symbolic value of the gratuity he and his colleagues remain deeply appreciative to the Government of Liberia for the honor accorded them and the sentiments expressed about their valuable services and contributions to the national interests of Liberia.
Earlier, the Director-General of the National Social Security and Welfare Corporation (NASSCORP), Mr. Dewitt von-Ballmoos, thanked the honorees for their service to country and welcomed them into the NASSCORP family.
He advised that they begin to process their pension benefits through the Civil Service Agency who will inform them officially. "It's there; we are waiting for the process to be completed," he said.
Those retired and honored included Mr. Johnny A. McClain, former Ambassador to Côte d'Ivoire; Mr. Francis Karpeh, former Ambassador to Belgium; Mr. Andrew W. Kronyanh, former Ambassador-designate to Italy; Mr. Marcus M. Kofa, Senior Ambassador-At-Large; and Dr. Edward G.H. Clinton, former Ambassador-At-Large.
Others are Mr. Ben Sie-Toe Collins, former Minister Counselor, Liberia's Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa; Mr. Morris Momo Karneh, former Minister Counselor, Liberia's Embassy in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire; Mr. Christopher Nippy, former First Secretary, Liberia's Embassy in Washington, D.C., U.S.A.; Ms. Catherine Nmah, former Second Secretary, Liberia's Embassy in Washington, D.C., U.S.A.; and Mr. Moses A. Deshield, Third Secretary, Liberia's Embassy in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
