Big Brother 18 is coming to an end. It's down to three houseguests – Paul, Nicole and James. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, September 21 at 9:30pm on CBS. According to Big Brother's official Facebook page, 23-year-old clothing designer Paul Abrahamian is the favorite to win. Not that he's everyone's first choice. As Shanna Pugh-Champnoise wrote: "I wanted Victor to win but since he's out and I have to pick one of these 3 I'd have to say Paul. I like James but he doesn't deserve to win and I can't stand Nicole."
[Big Brother 18 – Victor Racking Up America's Favorite Houseguest Votes]
Victor was eliminated at the end but he is still a favorite to win the title of America's Favorite Houseguest, which comes with a $25,000 prize. (James won it last year.) There's still time to cast your vote for Victor (or whoever you want to win). The Big Brother online poll closes Monday, September 19 at 10am PT.

Hello Everyone,
Today was the start of our third week in the field at Woodrow Ruin. No "major" discoveries were made today, but we did move a lot of dirt!
Today was a pretty straightforward day for Unit 5. The morning started out with Erin clearing the remaining baulk in the unit to the surface. We collected two more dendro samples along the way. The floor is now exposed entirely throughout Unit 5. After the floor was exposed, we covered it back up (like everywhere else in the unit), and began cleaning Unit 5 up. This consisted of making the unit walls nice and neat, so we can have a good look at the stratigraphy in the unit. The plan is to draw the profiles tomorrow, and then expand the unit north.
Unit 15 also had a pretty straightforward day. The crew worked on removing fill to the level of the surface that we identified in Unit 12. As expected, the crew hit wallfall above the floor. Interestingly, the wall fall was found only in the eastern 2/3rds of the Unit. In fact, the wall stopped almost immediately at the point where there is a break in the surface in Unit 12. This is another piece in the puzzle of the great kiva. Our best guess is that the wall fall is missing in the western 1/3rd of Unit 15 because the people who constructed the shrine we found at the bottom of Unit 9 removed it. Once again, the presence of Style III sherds (which date to the Classic period) under the shrine indicates the shrine was built sometime after 1000 AD. This means that the great kiva was abandoned, then the walls collapsed (or were pushed in), and then at a later point in time someone came back, dug through the wall fall in the center of the great kiva and constructed a shrine in it. Tomorrow, the crew should begin to expose surface in Unit 15.
Once again, describing the developments in Units 6,10, 11, 13, 14, 16, and now 17 is difficult to do in a blog post. I'll just say that we may have found part of another wall running parallel to the original wall we identified last year. We will continue to excavate tomorrow, and hopefully find more wall/surface. Currently, it seems like we have one room constructed of adobe/cobbles, measuring approximately 4.5 meters by 3.5 meters.
Sorry today's update is a bit short; its just one of those days in archaeology where we move a lot of dirt, so that we can get to the good stuff later. Overall, it was another beautiful day at the site!


text: The old Cruise & Carry I bought runs great for one to ten minutes and then quits. It is obviously a gasoline problem. It starts easily and runs for a while and then inevitably dies. I spend half my time on the water pulling on the start rope. Any ideas on why it would die and start so easily?

This article/expose in Outside about missing persons on public lands was interesting on two levels. I have spent a fair amount of vacation time hiking, trail running, and mountain biking on public lands (National parks, and so forth), almost always solo. Evidently, folks go missing in those circumstances more commonly than I would have thought. This article tells one particular story, highlighting how utterly baffling these disappearances can be. Vanishings might be a better word. It also indicates how much luck is involved in actually resolving them. In this case folks searched for nearly a year only to find the body less than 2 miles from home in a spot that they had been within spitting distance of. I occasionally joke about my ability to get lost on the simplest of trails, but maybe I shouldn't. Considering my solitary life, if I was lying dead in some unvisited ravine it could be weeks before anyone realized I was missing.
The other aspect of interest is the reaction of people to these situations. The writer makes a dramatic point that no one really knows how many people have vanished on public lands. Considered estimates run around the 1600 mark. That's 1600 people who have gone missing on public lands over the years who remain unaccounted for, but that's just an estimate because there is no agency the tracks this. Furthermore, if someone goes missing somewhere other than a major National Park like Yosemite, Grand Canyon, etc., the task of searching more often than not falls on small local sheriff departments who have to recruit volunteers for the search efforts. They do get volunteers although they are often not professionals, just folks willing to go searching for a day or so to do their part. Some individuals give even more effort and end up building non-profit organizations to assist in dealing with vanishings, often because a they have suffered a loss in similar situations.
But never underestimate the human propensity for righteous indignation. In this case, the missing fellow's father appears to have taken the opportunity to use the sympathy of others as an occasion for consequence-free impudent incivility. And why not? Who's gonna call a guy with a missing kid an asshole, even if he is? Evidently it got so bad the the local sheriff in charge of the search simply stopped speaking to him. More broadly, numerous sources and the overall tone of the article seem to imply it's an act of shameful neglect that there aren't well-funded government agencies brought to bear on this scourge. Why is no agency keeping statistics? Why isn't there an professional response team? What about the children?
To be clear, this is a good story and a well written article. You learn how easy it is to disappear even when you are capable and knowledgeable and not really in any sort of dangerous position. You see how people respond in this situation: mostly well -- volunteers participating as much as they can to help out, overworked authorities doing their damndest, etc. You sense the effect on friends and family. It's all good, personal, human, dramatic stuff. But that's not enough in our world. No, we have to have an outrage angle; everything has to take on the air of correcting some perceived grievance or injustice, because God forbid we do anything in life that is simply human and isn't sourced from a desire to correct a moral shortcoming of society.
Sorry to get cranky but there are times I am wearied by how deep this impetus is embedded into our lives now. It is the default vocabulary we use to communicate any complex message. The culture of indignation permeates everything we do and say. From a tweet to a facebook post to a press release to a corporate mission statement to the story of a missing person, it's become a thoughtlessly natural to refer to some greater societal moral failing as a cause. If there isn't one readily obvious, we snark up a comment about the current outgroup political enemy for cred. The socio-political has completely marginalized the human and the personal, and the way the socio-political connects with people emotionally is through sympathetic affront.
The cold truth is that 1600 missing people, some unknown percentage of whom are "missing" on purpose, don't amount to a hill of beans, especially in light of the millions and millions who tread upon public lands each year. The idea that this is indicative of negligence on anyone's part is way outright silly and, I suspect, often self-serving if for no other reason that the tone of indignation seems to be expected of any journalism for it to be published.
(Deep breath) Anyway. Like I said, good article and relevant to me. I think I will post on facebook anytime I'm about to go off into the wilderness alone. At least that way when someone gets around to wondering where I am, they'll have a lead. But once you find my rotted carcass please don't use me as a poster-boy for some noble cause or the source for some polemic. Just call me a dumbass and move on.
Addenda: A couple of tangentially related articles. 1. Age of Offence explores the effects of the desire for moral outrage on intellectual life. 2. The Strange Persistence of Guilt posits that the evelation of prestige via victimhood is sourced from a secular version of original sin (or somehting like that), although the author might put it differently. Both of these articles are a bit highbrow but not unclear. I continue to be troubled by the sweeping human desire for status through sanctimony.

My little back story - I spent part of my childhood in Mountain Home / Gassville Arkansas....from the age of 4 - 8. We moved there shortly after my dad left the military. Not knowing what to do in Washington (where he was last stationed), naturally he migrated back home. Looking back, I have mixed experiences with my time there. I always felt a little out of place...I was teased a lot for my VERY awkward appearance ( chubby, big frizzy hair, I could go on and on...seriously, I was a train wreck, lol) and also I would assume a little of the race issue. Either way though, I always loved spending time with my grand parents and my family.
Every time I visit, it just makes me wish my family was closer. I seriously have some awesome family members and I feel a little cheated that distance can play such a big part in seeing them.
These are my cousins Jennifer and Ashley...
Jennifer (left) is our newest college grad. We both majored in Finance, so it was nice to talk about business-ee stuff without her eyes glazing over. :) She is such a smart cookie and since she's fresh out of college, she's still driven :) I actually remember when I saw her for the first time right after she was born. My Aunt Tresa brought her over to my grand mother's house and I just remembered thinking "her eyes are so blue!" They still are :) I always thought the combination of dark brown hair and really blue eyes made for such pretty people.
My cousin Ashley (right) is married to my cousin Dusty (Jennifer's older brother). I would say we clicked immediately. She has such a fun spirit and super sweet. We're both into crafty things and tattoos, lol. I told her if she lived closer, we would attend those quilting bee clubs with all the other older women, then go get a tattoo afterwards :) I really got a chance to see her interact with her kiddo's and Dusty while I was there and you can tell her world is her kiddos and she's still head over heals for her husband.
This is Ashley's tattoo. I love the idea of a family tree...and the girl swinging is so adorable. She has her kids names in the tree.
From what I hear, my cousin Dusty was considered easy on the eyes to many of Jennifers friends growing up :) That's what every little sister wants to hear from her friends.
This is my Aunt Tresa and Uncle Dewayne. Seriously, if you met them, you would want to put them in your pocket they are so cute. My Aunt Tresa has one of those voices that could calm the wildest child. She's like the child whisperer...which is good since she's been running her own daycare for 20 years now. My Uncle Dewayne is the nicest gentle hearted man ever. He always has a smile on his face and for whatever reason I find that comforting.
Such a great looking family :)
Oh my goodness, my parents took a good photo!!! My mother has this allergic reaction to the clicking sound of a camera. Her eyes immediately shut once she hears that sound.
The next day we took some photos with my grandparents. I love this one of my grandpa and my dad...it's like looking into the future! My grandpa is cute as a button.
3 generations of beautiful women :)
I love these girls...and I'm sure if I were able to spend time with my other cousins, I would want them close by as well. I think when you're young, the first thing you want to do is move away. Not always to get away from family, but just to see what is out there...and when you're young, single, without children, is the best time to do that. Now that I am married with a child, all I want is for my family to be closer and for Christian to be able to spend time with them. It probably helps that I love my family and I think they are super awesome...I know some people do not have that luxury.
Just a great photo of Dusty and Lela.
Last, but not least is my grandparents and I. I know the family resemblance is uncanny, but I swear they are my grandparents :) I always remember my grandmother as being full of life - sassy, smart, and funny! I think its hard for anyone to see their grandparents get older and/or suffer through ailments. When you're a child you look up to them and put them on a pedestal. My grandmother is still all those things, but just a calmer version. She's always been someone I look up to - more so now that I am a mom. How she managed 4 boys is beyond me. After being married 55 + years, they rarely do anything without the other. I love them and wish they were closer.
Overall, our trip went well. The next time we visit, I would like to stay long and see some more sites. Arkansas is beautiful and all I saw were like a 1000 places that would make for great pictures :)
Can't wait to see them all again. Who's up for a family reunion!? Anyone? Anyone? :)

LUKS is the modern linux standard for encrypted block devices. It's a good, simple way to encrypt any data that needs to be written to disk
The idea behind LUKS starts with the fact that a given disk (or partition) is treated by the computer a block device.
Normally, you'd put a filesystem directly onto the block device. With LUKS, there is a short header at the start of the block device that contains a well-scrambled secret key and a set of 1 or more scrambled passphrases.
When you want to use a LUKS-formatted volume, the computer you're using asks you for a passphrase (or a passphrase file). It uses that passphrase with one of the scrambled passphrases to unscramble the secret key. The key is then used to unscramble sections of the underlying block device as they are requested by the OS. This is represented as a new virtual block device available to the system. A regular filesystem can be written to the virtual block device, and the actual data stored on disk will be encrypted.
how to use LUKS
on debian systems, to put a layer of encryption over
/dev/sda1, running an ext3 filesystem, it would look something like this:
0 root@lemur:~# aptitude install cryptsetup 0 root@lemur:~# cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda1 WARNING! ======== This will overwrite data on /dev/sda1 irrevocably. Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): YES Enter LUKS passphrase: Verify passphrase: Command successful. 0 root@lemur:~# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 mynewdisk Enter LUKS passphrase: key slot 0 unlocked. Command successful. 0 root@lemur:~# mkfs -t ext3 -q /dev/mapper/mynewdisk 0 root@lemur:~# mount /dev/mapper/mynewdisk /mnt 0 root@lemur:~#
When you're done with the disk, you unmount it and release the encryption:
0 root@lemur:~# umount /dev/mapper/mynewdisk 0 root@lemur:~# cryptsetup luksClose mynewdisk 0 root@lemur:~#
If you want regular access to an encrypted block device (might not make sense for a portable drive, for example), you can add entries in
/etc/crypttab to prompt for keys at boot time. Note that if you do this, you need to be at the computer (or have remote console access) when it boots, or it will wait forever for you to get to the console and put in the keys!
advantages of LUKS
encrypting at the block device layer means that you can put whatever type of filesystem you want on the virtual block device it exports, and the filesystem code doesn't need to know anything about encryption.
the LUKS header contains information about what kind of key is used, and what cipher (method of block-device encryption) is used (there are several different standards). By including that information in the header, if the "default choice" of key type or cipher changes in the future, you'll still be able to access your old volumes.
Having a set of key slots allows you to give different people the right to decrypt the volume, without asking them to share a passphrase. More importantly, it also allows you to change the passphrase without having to rewrite the entire disk
disadvantages of LUKS
It seems like having key type/size and cipher info in the LUKS header would reduce the search space for any attacker trying to recover data from the device, because they only need to search within one algorithmic scheme.
cryptsetup (a common GNU/Linux userspace tool for managing LUKS volumes) also somehow knows when your passphrase is wrong. I'm not sure how that works, but if it knows that it's wrong, presumably an attacker can determine the same thing. So all the attacker needs to break is your passphrase directly. This is probably no worse than other schemes, and isn't a very well-thought-out objection.
having a LUKS header at all is an indication to an attacker that you've got an encrypted volume in the first place. Something that looks like totally random data might be more secure in really paranoid situations.
Once an encrypted block device is "LuksOpen"ed on a computer, any process running as superuser on that computer has access to all the unencrypted data. If you want individual files to be opaque to the system administrator, you probably should encrypt those files individually somewhere else before transferring the encrypted version to the computer in question.

text: Cryptography has crept into everything, from Web browsers and e-mail programs to cell phones, bank cards, cars and even into medical implants. In the near future we will see many new exciting applications for cryptography such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for anti-counterfeiting or car-to-car communications (we've worked on securing both of these applications). This is quite a change from the past, where cryptography had been traditionally confined to very specific applications, especially government communications and banking systems. As a consequence of the pervasiveness of crypto algorithms, an increasing number of people must understand how they work and how they can be applied in practice. This book addresses this issue by providing a comprehensive introduction to modern applied cryptography that is equally suited for students and practitioners in industry. Our book provides the reader with a deep understanding of how modern cryptographic schemes work. We introduce the necessary mathematical concepts in a way that is accessible for every reader with a minimum background in college-level calculus. It is thus equally well suited as a textbook for undergraduate or beginning graduate classes, or as a reference book for practicing engineers and computer scientists who are interested in a solid understanding of modern cryptography.

In this guide we'll take a look at the best garden shredders on the market.
I've compared performance, reliability, and cost
to give you my top recommendations.
It's easy to see the appeal of garden shredders. They can turn a mountain of branches into a manageable pile of mulch in 2 minutes flat.
Whether your puny council waste bags keep overflowing, or you simply want high-quality compost, a garden shredder is a great idea.
But, as you'd expect, not all garden shredders are the same. Some can breeze through a tough branch, while others will jam under the pressure of a few twigs (slight exaggeration).
Having owned several garden shredders in my time, I know what to look out for and what to avoid.
I personally own the Bosch AXT 25 TC shredder which is a really great model. I'm out in the garden every weekend, so it makes sense to invest in something that won't jam every 5 minutes!
In my opinion it's the best performing garden shredder on the market. But bare in mind, it's a high-end piece of kit that isn't cheap (check latest price here).
If you're looking for the perfect balance between performance and value, then you'll want to go with the Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 shredder. It's the most popular shredder on the market with hundreds of good reviews.
Anyway, if you need more advice I've put this handy buying guide to help you navigate the market and find the best garden shredder for your budget and needs.

Day three started pretty early…I thought I was going to get to sleep a little more, but overnight I had to have two dosages of antibiotics and was up a lot going to the bathroom. (Warning…TMI) Because the baby is still producing fluid, you are continuously "leaking" fluid and you have to be aware of the color of the fluid to make sure there is no bleeding or infection. In addition to that in the morning I had some cramping, so they took me to monitor the baby and the contractions early in the morning. (Done TMI) I was having some contractions, but they weren't too consistent so they weren't too worried about it. Paisley decided to sleep, so they made me eat my breakfast while they were monitoring to wake her up. She woke up and gave a good reading, so I got to go back to my room. I was pretty tired from all the overnight activities, so I took a little nap while I could.
I expected the day to be pretty uneventful because most of my appointments were done until Friday. Other than the normal checking in, I did my best to relax and rest. Early afternoon my sweet friends Azu and Karen came by to bring me some lunch and chat. I also got Paisley's first "preemie" outfit…that is super adorable! (maybe I can post a pics soon) It is crazy to me that she will be here so soon and that she will be so tiny to fit into it. It was great to have conversation to help remember how life is going on outside this tiny room! While they were here my Dr. came to visit and told me that we had a tentative date for when Paisley might arrive. She said probably next Friday…not tomorrow, but the next Friday. Initially I was a little surprised because the sono dr had said maybe Mon or Tues…but, want to make the best decision for Paisley. She said that I would have another sono tomorrow and then we could make a tentative plan. I felt good about it because at least some plan is better than just not knowing.
Later in the afternoon my parents came by and chatted with me. My mom had made the first panel of Paisley's baby bedding to make sure it was what I was wanting. It is going to be super cute! We also made a list of some of the items that we need to work on before P's arrival. As a surprise in the middle of our visit my nurse came and said that the sono dr was here and decided to go ahead and do my scan today. So, not only would be know more information, but my parents would get to see her! He told me that I had good fluid for someone that had ruptured, she was breach with her feet up to her chest like a check mark and that he thought everything looked great. He thought I should deliver anytime after 34 weeks 1 day…which would be Thurs or Friday…of course unless we have complications. That basically confirmed what my Dr had said and helped to have a "tentative" plan…which can always change.
After my parents left, I rested for a little while and then got to visit with Kevin and my sweet boys. That has to be one of the hardest things about this whole journey…being away from them! They are doing great, but I worry that the non-schedule and being taken between different houses will bother them and they don't really understand what is going on. But, I know that God has this all in His hands and trust that His provision will help us all get through until we can all be at home together!
Kevin and I are overwhelmed by all the support via phone, text, facebook and in person…helping watch the boys and providing extra support. We are so thankful for your prayers and support and feel beyond blessed to be going on this journey with you as our friends. Until tomorrow…good night!

My configuration is:
titanium G4 laptop (1GHz) with 1 Gb of ram, running OSX 10.3.2 - no extra soundcard.
I do notations in Sibelius and would like also to use it for playback.
After 1st installation (on external hard-drive) the computer was basically dysfunctional so I reinstalled on main hard-drive.
Now the playback actually works(beautiful instruments!) except that I can only have 2, maybe 3 voices going or sound goes berserk.
Is this just asking too much from a laptop? Should I be using a direct from disk function that I've heard about? and where would I find that?
What is the ideal computer and configuration to set up? I'm willing to consider purchase of a new Mac desktop as long as I can be reasonably sure that things will work. How are people getting the great playback you hear in the demos?
Also - is there a way to set up GPO as stand-alone on a separate computer and use it the way one would use GigaStudio?(two computers, one dedicated for sequencing, one for playback)
Of course ideally I would like to keep life simple - one little computer with Sibelius and GPO running together, but if this is unrealistic then I'll consider other possibilities.
Thanks to Gary Garritan et al though for what looks like a great program and for making it possible for those of us who can't easily shell out huge sums of money for orchestral libraries etc.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to how to make my current system work or for redirection toward one that will.

September 15, 2012
In my life there is a lot of the phrase, "the plan was…". I'm a director! I have a vision! Things aren't supposed exist outside of that! I'm supposed to see the way I want it and find a way to get it. However, the constraints of reality always get in the way. Whether it is timing, logistics, or just the damn laws of physics; I routinely find myself recalculating the plan. Don't get me wrong, that isn't a bad thing. I find adjusting the plan for reality makes things go a lot smoother.
For instance, I was planning on going to Yosemite National Park this weekend, but a greater design was in the works. Now, I've been hearing a lot about this Hantavirus situation, mostly as warnings from my mother. I did some research, and it is a little concerning. The Yosemite website is a little uncommitted to either side here. It seems that certain lodges are closed due to infestation… mice, not human. Although I suppose it was the infestation of humans that caused the mice in the first place. And once mice poop goes airborne, no one is safe. Scary enough? Apparently the Hantavirus can lead to Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, which I assume means 'you have the hantavirus'. That leads to the F word… well, it can kill you. There have been more and more reports of deaths related to the illness as time goes on. The latest count to date is 9. That seems like a lot, but diabetes kills about 180,000 people a year. No one seems to be freaking about diabetic comas as far as I hear. So, I'm writing down the virus hotline number and lacing up my hiking shoes.
You weren't thinking the virus was the twist of fate that changed the plan did you? Of course not! I was supposed to caravan up there with a group of friends from LA and spend the weekend. Due to logistics of a failed to mention Charger game (thanks Tim), I am going up to San Francisco on Sunday night and will spend about a month there. Hopefully, if all goes to plan, we'll all meet up after I leave SF, and hopefully no one ends up with a fatal disease.
This whole time has been so charged. I cant tell if I'm excited for San Francisco or ready to leave LA. I know both emotions are real, but a focusing in on that feeling only brings the falsity of human emotions to light. It makes me realize how not in control we all actually are. I can't help but breakdown where these emotions come from until I come to the conclusion that I could be anybody. Most people would have either apprehension or anticipation when they're about to leave their home for almost 10 years. As to which one is ruling my mind, it seems to be a battle between the two. I know that I am ready to live in SF for a month or so, but I'm still not sure what to expect. I've been up there a good many times and am pretty comfortable in the city. I'm staying with a good friend's family and will have plenty of time to explore the it further. San Francisco, being a hipster hotbed and all around cool city, has attracted many people from many places. One of which is my good friend Nate, whom I grew up with in Jr High and High School. It has been a long stretch, and may have only seen him about 3 times in the past 7 years. We'll see what time has done.
I have been flying by the seat of my pants, thus far. In SF, the plan was to start planning. I know certain things now, such as specific cities and somewhat of the route. But I'm not really sure. I haven't hammered down the timing or done any research in each destination yet, but I keep getting suhjestions from people along the way; it's amazing how many people from Los Angeles aren't actually from Los Angeles. If the travels are anything like these last weeks in LA, it will be perfect. All that has been happening is the quintessential Los Angeles experience. It's been filled with extravagant Venice Beach parties, exclusive Hollywood clubs, and posh events like celebrity poker tournaments for charity. It gives me hopes for the quintessential Vancouver or Salt Lake City, although I have no idea what to expect. Well one more night, it seems. Any Ideas?

Yet unusual good testify from the Barrier Way RecordExtracted from
The Cellphone Poets Of Tokyo Join in matrimony Tech, Tanka and Practice
Small Screens Are Non-discriminatory Authentic for 31 Syllables in 5 Barricade Dashed Off on the Run
by Phred Dvorak, October 4, 2005
TOKYO -- For go, Ayano Iida recycled email on her cellphone mainly to tap out quick messages to friends dearest "Let's get together tomorrow."
But these days, Ms. Iida's signifying is spouting out unfeigned verse dearest this: "The guy who I liked/second-best, was second-rate/in the school that he/went to; and in the same way in his/performance relating the sheets."
Ms. Iida, 26 go old, is one of a budding presume of callow Japanese using signifying phones to calm down and replacement tanka, an ancient form of unrhymed verse whose family tree part back at least 1,300 go. Scores of tanka home pages and bulletin boards are popping up on cellphone Internet sites with names dearest Palm-of-the-Hand Tanka and Youngster Tanka.
Japan's state-owned familiar commentator simulation a thesis be evidence of called "Saturday Evening Is Cellphone Tanka," which gets about 3,000 poems emailed from consultation mobiles each week on topics dearest parental unimportant and the boy in the close class.
Tanka, positively "depression tweak," is fault to repress improve on emerged surrounding the eighth century. It is unruffled of 31 syllables settle on in a stretched, five-line model of 5-7-5-7-7. It's big on outdated words and has hope been interrelated with high culture.
Courtiers of the 10th century exchanged love script in tanka form, and the territory cover uninterrupted pens tanka at the start of each see on topics dearest "excitement" and "shoot." Tanka are smoothly recycled to indication mid moments dearest death: Japanese person behind Yukio Mishima wrote two tanka previously he rip his front in ritual suicide in 1970.
But callow Japanese say tanka is oddly enough sincere to the cellphone. It's depression ample to fit on short signifying screens, and simple ample to let callow poets beat out bits of verse whenever the spirit moves them.
The new, freewheeling wave of verse on cellphones is roiling the traditional, hierarchical tanka world. Offering, budding writers cost go of apprenticeship in verse societies called kessha, under the bearing of a master author. Assorted schlep for 10 or 20 go previously the master decides they're good ample to put out their own verse collections.
Traditionalists scowl on cellphone tanka's good-looking use of mere talk and fluent Japanese. They say the topics are soapy and the public speaking get out and one-dimensional.
Fair tanka requisite be knotted and multilayered, says Kenya Washio, 61, an editor... In a kessha, poets learn their craft the stiffen way: by having their creations notched to shreds at group readings. "Tanka is an athletics in masochism," he says. "You get criticized and put down; you curse, you're dismayed, you cry. Along with you go home and calm down some elder."
Several gift that at any rate the differences, cellphone tanka could be good for the tanka world. The tanka-writing group has been aging rapidly -- out of action with the rest of Japan... Shin Araragi's members are 75 go old, on center... One tanka on its Web site describes a reside to the urologist.
"Tanka Study," Japan's ceiling bonus tanka journal, whose subscribers are in their 70s and 80s mostly, is reaching out to a younger listeners by in addition to a upper limb for cellphone tanka, where the fake is typed horizontally, unrelated the rest of the magazine.
"We're really in suspense that with the expansion of cellphones, tanka donate be clever to befall," says Akiko Oshida, the magazine's editor.

AUVSI and National Council on Public Safety UAS Announce Partnership
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Aug 23, 2017
Contact: Tom McMahon, firstname.lastname@example.com, (571) 255-7786
AUVSI and National Council on Public Safety UAS Announce Partnership
Organizations will jointly promote use of unmanned aircraft systems by public safety agencies
Arlington, Va. – The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) and the National Council on Public Safety UAS (NCPSU) have entered a partnership to encourage and promote the use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) by public safety agencies.
AUVSI and NCPSU will collaborate to create education and information programs and materials to facilitate the widespread adoption of UAS, also known as drones, among first responders. The partnership will also provide a forum for industry and the public safety community to review and evaluate the latest research and development in unmanned systems technology, as well as the products and services it enables to support mission-critical operations.
"The public safety community was an early adopter of drone technology and understands the many benefits it provides to our nation's first responders," said Brian Wynne, president and CEO of AUVSI. "Together, AUVSI and the National Council on Public Safety UAS will provide opportunities for the public safety community and the UAS industry to share ideas on creating tools and applications for police, firefighters, and other professionals who help ensure our safety and protection."
There are many uses of UAS by public safety agencies. UAS provide firefighters with real-time aerial views of fires that enhance situational awareness. They can quickly survey wide areas of land and water for search-and-rescue missions. Unmanned systems are also making routine law enforcement duties more efficient, cost-effective and safer, such as conducting accident investigations and assessing traffic flow.
"The National Council on Public Safety UAS is excited about this new partnership with AUVSI to further advance the use of drones by public safety organizations," said Charles Werner, chair of NCPSU. "AUVSI will help amplify efforts to share UAS information, best practices and training to public safety agencies through its outreach channels and conferences, and its membership."

Manhat and vers talking about what they look for in new students. Enjoy.
Month: March 2014
Sngmentors Podcast #1 – Game Selection
Hoping we make this into a weekly podcast. If you have topic selections, please let us know. I am sure the volume issues will get fixed as we continue onward.
Haven't had too many ideas for new articles lately. I've only been playing Sundays for the most part. Grinding 18s on the side mostly to earn supernova. It's still amazing to see even with a lot of studying how confused you can be in many spots. Sometimes you have a great idea of what is a thin call we can make and other times during review, you see you really spewed it off.
Anyways, manhat and I are thinking about different topics for some quick interviews/podcasts. Maybe some poker stories, perhaps less strategy related. Should be some fun stuff in here. We probably spend 3 hours on skype with each other every week and we often get sidetracked from the actual site.

Guideline for DMF Process - Available for Public Download
Smartfusion are pleased to announce that a major output of WP1 - Guideline for DMF processes for transferability to other regions is now available for public download.
The initial stakeholder analysis of Smartfusion was supported by the application of the Design and Monitoring Framework (DMF) methodology within Work Package 1 (WP1), which is an evolution of the Logical Framework Analysis. Both these methodologies have been used widely by NGOs, financing institutions such as the World Bank and Asian Development Bank, and the European Commission to reach consensus and create support for selected solutions through intensive stakeholder consultation.
Application of this methodology is a novelty in European Research projects within the Framework Program, however, and can be considered as an innovation in research project design in itself. The consortium applies the methodology to design the local Demonstrators and set up the project Monitoring Framework. The results consist of fully detailed Design and Monitoring Framework tables and a detailed design and specifications of the Demonstrators, including all relevant components such as the cargo to be transported, the vehicle to be used, the transport link where it will be applied, the innovations to be tested, who are responsible for the different components, etc.

The New Lucky restaurant in India is like no other – it fuses a historic cemetery with a casual café that serves food. The restaurant's owner Krishan Kutti simply set up tables amidst the above-ground graves, placing guardrails around each coffin. The concept seems beyond unorthodox, but Kutti says that the dining experience will bring patrons good luck.
The typical daily chores of opening the New Lucky restaurant goes beyond setting tables and bringing down chairs. Each day, the New Lucky employees pay their respect to the dead by cleaning the graves and placing fresh flowers on the caskets, making sure they look impeccable for incoming customers. The coffins, which number just 12 in all, remain above ground and are fenced in so customers can't touch them. They date back to when the site was a Muslim cemetery, and although the exact dates aren't known, local legend says that they are the remains of the followers of a 16th century Sufi saint, who is also buried nearby.
Related: Former Brooklyn Navy Yard Cemetery to be Transformed into a Memorial Park
The public has reacted to the cemetery-cum-restaurant with intrigue rather than disdain. Many flock to the restaurant out of sheer curiosity, and to have the experience of dining next to a grave. Yet most customers are locals, who come in to enjoy their daily tea and biscuits, which just happens to be next to a coffin.

Hampton Inn Development
Tourism is Snoqualmie's primary industry. More than 2.2 million tourists visit Snoqualmie Falls each year. The popularity of our city highlights the need to support development of a moderately-priced hotel to accommodate the full range of traveler needs.
Currently, there is one hotel in Snoqualmie - the Salish Lodge & Spa, a world-class hotel and historic landmark perched above Snoqualmie Falls. It offers luxury accommodations with high room occupancy.
Project Description
In mid-2018 or early 2019, a Hampton Inn by Hilton* will open on Snoqualmie Ridge to serve a wide range of patrons, including travelers, tourists, and family and friends visiting residents of Snoqualmie.
- 99 moderately-priced hotel rooms
- Architecture consistent with Snoqualmie Ridge design standards
- Landscaping consistent with Snoqualmie Ridge design standards
- 50 foot setback from Snoqualmie Parkway with replanting of trees to provide a soft screening (See illustrations)
- Hotel height: (See illustrations)
- Four stories (45 feet above ground)
- Daylight basement (11 feet sloping downward from hotel's first story)
- 178 parking stalls
- Meeting space
- Restaurant on main floor
- One or more retail shops on main floor
- Indoor pool
- Pedestrian-friendly plazas and seating
- Two-story office building, height not to exceed 35 feet
*Hilton is one of the largest and fastest growing hospitality companies in the world, with more than 4,900 properties comprising over 800,000 rooms in 104 countries and territories. In the nearly 100 years since [its] founding, [it has] defined the hospitality industry and established a portfolio of 14 world-class brands. (See About Hilton)
The hotel is located at the southeast corner of Snoqualmie Parkway and SE Center St (across Snoqualmie Parkway from the public library; across SE Center St from Chase Bank). It occupies 4.16 acres in the Snoqualmie Ridge Business Park.
- A second hotel option for travelers offering different amenities and lower room rates than Snoqualmie's current hotel option, the Salish Lodge & Spa
- Job creation: 35-38 jobs in the hotel and restaurant, plus 50-62 jobs for adjacent retail and offices
- Increased business for local restaurants, shops, and professional services
- Increased diversified revenue include property, utility, sales, and B&O taxes, which could help alleviate the need for increased residential and commercial property taxes in the future for infrastructure, public safety, services, and city staffing
- Increased hotel/motel tax, which is allocated to local tourism-based organizations to fund tourism-related attractions
Examples of Customers for the New Hotel
- Travelers unable to be accommodated by the Salish Lodge & Spa during peak-season sell outs
- Travelers who require accommodations that are less expensive than the Salish Lodge & Spa
- Participants and spectators of the annual Boeing Classic PGA Champions Tour
- Recreation enthusiasts
- Family and friends of local residents
- Business professionals visiting corporations in the Snoqualmie Ridge Business Park
- Individuals attending conferences and events at nearby locations
Construction is underway. Opening of the hotel, restaurant, and office space is anticipated for mid-2018 or early 2019. Building inspection by the City of Snoqualmie Building Official will occur prior to opening.

This soup is a delicate colour but full of flavour. Serve in small bowls or little cups so it's not too rich before the main.
Salad onion soup with parmesan scones
- Preparation time: 25 minutes
- Cooking time: 30 minutes
- Total time: 55 minutes
Serves: 8
1 small celeriac, about 450g
4 bunches salad onions
25g salted butter
2 tsp cumin seeds, crushed
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 litre vegetable stock
200ml tub Waitrose Crème Fraîche
For the parmesan scones:
125g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
25g salted butter, plus extra to grease
50g freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
75ml milk, plus extra to glaze
- Cut away the skin from the celeriac and slice the flesh into small chunks. Trim and thinly slice the salad onions, keeping the green tips separate.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the white parts of the salad onions and the cumin. Fry gently for 5 minutes, then add the thyme, stock and celeriac. Bring just to the boil and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat and cook very gently for 10–15 minutes until the celeriac is tender.
- While cooking, make the scones. Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7. Grease a baking sheet. Put the flour and baking powder in a food processor. Add the butter, cut into small pieces, and blend. Add all but 2 tbsp of the cheese and the milk and blend to a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to a 14cm square. Trim off the edges and cut the pastry square into 4 even strips. Then cut across 4 times to make 16 squares. Transfer to the baking sheet, brush with milk and sprinkle with the reserved cheese. Bake for about 10 minutes or until risen and golden.
- Reserve 2 tbsp of the chopped green ends of the salad onions and add the remainder to the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Tip the mixture into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. (Or leave in the saucepan and use a hand-held blender). Return to the pan and stir in 50ml of the crème fraîche. Heat through gently and season to taste.
- Spoon into small bowls and add a spoonful of crème fraîche to each bowl. Scatter with the reserved onions and serve with Parmesan scones.

I was talking to a lady outside of Broadgreen Hosp: last week in a Wheelchair having a smoke, she made me laugh, a typical Liverpudlian, you know what girl she said the bloody Doctor just told me I should think about giving up me ciggys when I asked someone to push me outside for a few drags, what! she said, I,m 91 next week, never been in Hosp: in my life until I tripped on the curb getting out of a taxi when I was going to McDonalds for a snack before I done my shopping, that soon shut him up she said.

1. Cormorant – Metazoa
If there is any justice in the world, Cormorant are set to be the biggest thing out of the Bay Area since 1983. Metazoa is a blinding mix of melodic death metal, hard rock, black metal & about 100 other genres. I really can't recommend this album highly enough.
2. Megadeth – Endgame
Mustaine & co. are back on top. Endgame built on the last 2 'deth albums & shocked the world with this masterpiece of thrash domination, undoubtedly driven by the arrival of Broderick & his big sack o' riffs. Mustaine had finally found someone to trade solos with that rivalled the might of Friedman.
3. Ravage – The End of Tomorrow
Heavy metal the way Priest used to make. Epic vocals, catchy hooks, insane shredding. It might not be anything new but it's done so well that you don't even care.
4.A?Ahab – The Divinity of Oceans
Nautical doom metal that often sails close to the shores of more extreme genres. Riffs the size of Moby Dick, melodic interludes & you've got an album ***BAD JOKE ALERT*** more epic that a Faith No More single.
5. Hospital of Death – Surge, Kill, Steal
H.O.D.'s bastard mix of heavy metal & early Exodus-style thrash along with their debut Beer Bitches Blood put them on the map but this album takes that map & shits all over it. Highlight track The King of Sweden is a soaring ode to the greatness of a certain Mr Malmsteen that features the line "Lots of twats play Fender Strats but he is the exception, he makes it cool because he rules & gives us all erections!" Nuff' Said.
6. Immortal – All Shall Fall
Black metal's second biggest band silenced 7 years of rumours & negativity by releasing All Shall Fall, an unrelenting modern classic with all the hallmarks of Immortal's frost-ridden soundscapes.
7. Skeletonwitch – Breathing The Fire
Athens, Ohio's finest sons released their 3rd album, Breathing The Fire cementing their reputation as blackened thrash's kings last year. Maiden riffs, sweeps & some healthy palm muting mixed with Garnette's growl for a perfect soundtrack to a beer-fuelled thrash-down.
8.A?Cauldron – Chained To The Night
See Number 3. All the same reasons apply.
9. W.A.S.P. – Babylon
I only gave this album 3.5 Grimmetts earlier in the year but it's grown on me like that mould on the end of my dick. Blackie Lawless knows how to write a catchy tune that burrows into your brain stem & stays there for the next decade.
10. Gama Bomb – Tales From The Grave In Space
Free downloads don't come much more awesome than this thrashtastic collection. It's like if you chucked some B-Movies, comic books, Nuclear Assault & fuckload of beer into a blender & recorded the sound it made as it blended. Get it here!

- MrsEH
- 4 years ago
- Wedding: November 2014
Long post warning, but it's seriously like a soap opera, so get ready:
Ok bees, this is where my mind was last night around 5pm: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/alterations-disaster-venting/#axzz39p4QNFJK
This has just been the most stressful 18 hours ever. This supposedly 'reputable seamstress' was trying to make me lie for her to a bridal salon so that she could get a discounted dress and fix her mistake of completely ruining mine. After not sleeping last night I knew this morning that I just had to tell the truth. I was going to go into the salon today and just be honest with them about this lady butchering my dress and hope that they would help me in some way. And, thank god, they did!! Here's the rundown:
I get to the bridal salon early (she's supposed to meet us there with my butchered dress) and basically just tell them exactly what happened before she can show up. I just wanted to be upfront and honest with them about this whole thing. They seemed to know that she had ruined a dress anyway and were completely supportive of me and said it will be taken care of. So, the seamstress walks in (she does have the dress thank god) and we get it worked out and we all stand there as they confirm the specs on my dress – size, color, rush order, etc. Then we're going to put my butchered dress back into the bag and the seamstress is trying to take the dress from me!! I said, "No, I'm keeping this dress." She left it at that for the time being…
Anyway we leave together, but I knew I wanted to go back in and thank these wonderful people on my own without her there, so I walk back inside with my friend and the seamstress seams to be leaving. I just start thanking them and expressing my gratitude – and she walks back in and says, "My husband says I should keep the dress until I get the new one." …MY EYEBALLS ALMOST POPPED OUT OF MY HEAD. I was like no, I paid for this. And the people behind the counter, bless their hearts, supported me and told her that I should keep the dress – it's mine. So, she leaves.
At that point I just wanted to be sure the salon would call ME instead of HER (I think she did have to pay something for the dress) when the new one comes in. And they reassured me that I would be the one getting the phone call when the dress came in and I wouldn't have to deal with this lady anymore. The salon was amazing and I have no reason to believe that they wouldn't give it directly to me, I just am so anxious to have that new dress in my posession!
There really are good people in this world! haha So, my nerves have calmed for now and am just trying to take this one step at a time. The dress is ordered and I've already written the salon a thank you card that I need to send them asap.
Ok, now for some photos of this debacle:

Another figure I have painted in the previous weeks. One that I was really happy with how it was progressing and got a lot of great feedback from some great artists throughout the community. People like Oleksandr who co-sculpted it with Bran. Or from Roman Gruba who has been pushing texture and color manipulation on models more and more recently.
So with those behind me, I really tried to push my painting to new heights with some colors and textures.
The back sections were really pushed further with adding such a red into the shadows of the blue throughout the figure. Something that I haven't done before, and should do more of. If I continue to do more showcase pieces. I really like how it turned out in the end, and hope to push myself to do more of this in the coming year if and when time allows.
The only place that I really did not like was how poor the water effects came out, but I was able to just cover it in snow to hide the mistakes.
Hope to take it with me to Duke this weekend coming up, and see how Roman Gruba likes it in person, or what I could do to fix or improve it more.
Enjoy the week!

Donna Davis, assistant professor at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication (SOJC), has been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for $101,140 to study the role of people with disabilities in the innovation of online technology. The grant, "Virtual Worlds, Disability, and New Cultures of the Embodied Self," is in collaboration with co-principal investigator (PI) Tom Boellstorff at the University of California, Irvine, for a combined total of $378,040. This is the largest research grant awarded to a faculty member in the SOJC.
Davis will serve as co-PI for the three-year project, which begins July 1, 2015. The project will explore how the Internet is changing the ways Americans think of themselves as individuals and interact as members of communities. The researchers are focusing on the experiences of people with disabilities in "virtual worlds," three-dimensional, immersive online spaces where people with disabilities can appear any way they choose and do things they may not be able to do in the physical world.
"I believe this research will be important to our understanding of living with disabilities and how we may rethink the way we frame both ability and disability," says Davis. "As technology continues to advance and provide mediated cultures where individuals can thrive socially, creatively, intellectually and professionally, it will be important to address access to social technologies as well as the opportunities and risks inherent in these platforms."
Virtual worlds have millions of users, but they are just part of a much larger domain of internet technology that includes everything from devices like smart phones and laptops to online venues like social network sites, blogs, and e-commerce.
Watch a short video about Davis's research in virtual worlds.
By observing how people with disabilities create and interact socially in virtual worlds, and how they use different kinds of devices in their homes to experience these online environments, the researchers will better understand how new online technologies influence how we think about our bodies, how we think about social interaction, and how we think about the role of the Internet in everyday life.
"I'm excited to have the opportunity to continue my work with Tom Boellstorff, who is a world-renowned pioneer in the anthropological exploration of virtual worlds," Davis explains. "Through this grant, we will be able to provide our study participants with technologies that should enable extremely immersive experiences. We hope to observe powerful and creative ways they use these devices to augment and enhance quality of life when their physical circumstances have been challenged by disability."
"I'm thrilled that Professor Davis has obtained NSF support to deepen her research into virtual experiences for people with disabilities" says interim Edwin L. Artzt Dean and professor Julie Newton. "The grant both acknowledges the significance of her research and makes it possible for her to take it to the next level, using her knowledge to make a positive difference in people's lives. Using research to help find innovative solutions for society is at the heart of the SOJC and is core to the mission of this great research university."
The NSF grant was awarded through the Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Science, which supports research to develop and advance scientific knowledge about humans spanning areas of inquiry including brain and behavior, language and culture, origins and evolution, and geography and the environment.

It was 20 years ago, on August 31, that Princess Diana died. Her tragic death shocked the world, but most devastated were (and are) her two sons. Prince William and Prince Harry have honored their mom in so many ways, and have carried on her legacy. And what a legacy it is -- here are some of the ways Princess Diana's life impacted us.
Diana did so much in her 36 years. She redefined what it meant to be a princess, and also challenged norms even after her divorce. She encouraged a more modern way of thinking, with compassion and love. Her impact continues to inspire so many to this day -- a feat that shows no sign of slowing.

Reports: Wests To Buy Newcastle Knights
Deal expected in next few days
The NRL is about to sell the Knights to the powerful Wests Group, with a deal expected to be announced before the end of the week.
The Daily Telegraph reports as part of the deal, Wests will commit up to $10 million to a new centre of excellence and provide a cash injection into grassroots football in the Hunter.
Wests has a $143 million turnover and made a $23 million profit last year.
Six licensed clubs and two hotels are among the company's assets.
"We wanted to hold out for the right buyer for the club and for the game," an NRL source told the Telegraph.
"And we all want the Knights to be owned locally so there is community ownership of the club."
It's understood the new buyers back Nathan Brown to remain as coach.

Cadillac Truck Service was started in February of 1975, by Rich and Beth Bosscher. The company initially rented space, but quickly outgrew it. A decision was made in 1979 to build a facility at the present location. The original building was considerably smaller than what stands today. In fact, on moving day, the entire parts department, including shelving, was moved in one load in the back of a pickup truck!
The business continued to grow and diversify, and it wasn't long before more room was needed. Two subsequent additions added three bays, then four more to the building, bringing it to its present size. Cadillac Truck Service now employs more than 40 people.
Our legacy is one of quality and excellence, and we strive every day to provide the best service to all of our customers.

Cats like all other living beings like to be loved by their masters. The biggest rule for loving somebody is to display that love through different methods. If you possess a cat then you must make your cat feel loved by displaying these 6 ways to love a cat. You must bear in mind that revealing your love for your cat might strengthen your bond with the cat, so as a result your cat will increase its level of loyalty towards you.
Although there are various ways to love your cat but these 6 ways are the most popular ones.
- The issue with the cats is that they are not very fast to reveal their emotions to their masters. Dogs on the other hand don't tend to hide their emotions. If you want to make your cat feel loved then you must first make yourself available for your cat. You can only show affection to your cat if you are present near your cat. If you get time then try talking to your cat, you will be amazed see pleased behavior of your cat when you speak to it.
- You can also make your cat feel loved by showing affection through your bodily gestures. Touching and delicately rubbing your cat's cheeks is one of the famous methods to show love. Another method involves scratching your cat's back starting from its neck to its back. Here you must understand that not every cat likes to be treated with this gesture so if your cat shows signs of irritation whenever you do this then its best to avoid it.
- Try to play with your cat whenever you get the time. Every cat loves to play with its master. It's best to try different fun games every time you play with your cat. You can try to introduce various toys to your cat. Cats love to play with balls ping pong balls. You can also make your cat play with a YoYo or you can provide your cat with a toy mouse that moves around the house with your cat chasing it.
- You can also show your love to your cat by providing it with yummy and nutritious food. If you are doubtful about the nutritional needs of your cat then you must first discuss this with your cat's vet. You must feed your cat at least four times a day with best quality cat food. Its best to provide your cat with as much fresh water as you can. You can also show love by providing your cat with yummy goodies.
- Providing your cat with its own, personalized sleeping and resting area is also going to be a loving gesture. You must bear this in mind that cats love to keep their own resting space. Although cats are social but they are also very possessive about their privacy. You must make their resting area comfortable and secure.
- Brushing your cat using a delicate slicker brush is also going to prove your love to your cat. Cats loved to be groomed so brushing will make it feel loved.
These 6 ways to show your love to your cat are going to be very helpful for you but the first thing that you must keep in mind is that maintaining a caring and loving behavior towards your cat is the best way to show affection.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The 193 member states of the United Nations on Friday called for greater transparency and gender balance in the selection of the next U.N. secretary-general.
The unanimously approved resolution, which says members will receive the resumes of candidates for the top U.N. post and have a chance to question them, comes as many Western nations say it is time a woman took over at the helm of the United Nations.
The current U.N. chief, Ban Ki-moon of South Korea, will remain in office until Dec. 31, 2016. His replacement takes over on Jan. 1, 2017. The campaign for the post is expected to heat up early next year.
The process of selecting a secretary-general has traditionally been secretive, involving what diplomats and U.N. officials describe as "wheeling and dealing" among member states interested in having their country take over what is arguably the highest-profile diplomatic job in the world.
The U.N. charter is vague on the selection process. It says "the secretary-general shall be appointed by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council."
In practice, that has come to mean that the U.N. chief is chosen by the permanent Security Council members - the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China - and rubber-stamped by the other 10 council members and the General Assembly.
As a result, U.N. diplomats from many countries have long complained that they have no chance to get involved in the selection process.
Britain's U.N. Ambassador Matthew Rycroft welcomed the resolution.
"The United Kingdom wants to see a process that is open to all member states, but also to observers, and to civil society," he told the assembly. "That is why we are open to organizing an Arria-formula (informal) meeting with candidates that really is open to all."
Echoing something that many Western states have said in recent months, he added that it was "high time for a woman to lead the United Nations."
There are a number of women whose names come up as possible candidates for the post. They include two women from Bulgaria, UNESCO chief Irina Bokova and European Union commissioner Kristalina Georgieva, and former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark.
U.N. diplomats say it is Eastern Europe's turn to provide a secretary-general. Russia has made clear it wants the next U.N. boss to come from Eastern Europe.
All eight secretaries-general over the past 70 years have been men.

One person died and five others were injured in a multiple-vehicle accident in Hardin County, reports Sgt. Stephanie Davis of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Beaumont police report an early morning accident involving a passenger car and an 18-wheeler resulted in a fatality June 1, Beaumont Police Department Officer Tony Harding reported Wednesday.
Police in Beaumont are working to identify the driver in a fatal hit-and-run accident that claimed the life of a 51-year-old transient, reports Beaumont Police Department Sgt. Cody Guedry.
The Beaumont Police Department reports one person is dead and another injured after a fatal accident at the bridge in the 8200 block of Eastex Freeway in Beaumont. According to BPD Sgt. James Cody Guedry, both victims fell over a guardrail at the top of the overpass while attempting to change a flat tire
One man is dead and another facing charges after an auto-pedestrian accident in Orange County on May 15, Texas Department of Safety Trooper Stephanie Davis reported in a news release.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

How do you "fast forward" and "rewind" ? Just by thinking the word? If that's the case,
then perhaps if you tried some other "controls" , you could get more info.
Maybe try "Slow Motion" or "Zoom" or even "Volume" .
I'm not joking. Thinking "Zoom" works for me.

This premonition could be a professor, researcher, or archeologist finding these ruins. There isn't any harm done by observing.
Though, I gotta ask.. Isn't it frustrating to have these visions, and when the day it comes to happen you don't remember what happens?
That's one of the reason why i decided to write it down. I'm not looking forward to the day one of the p/v comes true. I hope the really scary p/v i experienced never come to pass. I dismissed a large part of them as background noise. From now on i won't dismiss them but you have to understand that my experiences are really exhausting.
It's just floating in the air and does nothing special.
They always need some type of catalyst before wandering of into oblivion is that correct?

"Phillip Johnston is one of the most original and witty composers and bandleaders in jazz¬—as likely to give a sweet and heartfelt chamber jazz rendition of a Chopin mazurka as to one of Raymond Scott's cartoon ditties."
—The Boston Phoenix.
"The quartet members blend their disparate influences skillfully and their work, like Raymond Scott's, abounds with eccentric humor and lyricism."
—Harvey Pekar, Boston Herald.
"This odd, engaging, drummerless band mixes braininess with mirth—the longtime hallmarks of their leader, saxophonist Phillip Johnston."
—Steve Futterman, Entertainment Weekly.
"The Needless Kiss, the latest recording by Johnston's Transparent Quartet, is full of nineteen-fifties formalism (West Coast cool, Modern Jazz Quartet subtlety), which Johnston gleefully personalizes with sharp phrasings and free jazz tangents. It's all held together by Johnston's fine alto-saxophone work and superb soprano-saxophone playing, and by a drummerless unti that makes imaginative use of vibes, piano, baritone saxophone, and bass."
—Steve Futterman, The New Yorker.
