I used to think that I was madly in love with my Sugar Daddy, but in the end, I realised we did not have enough in common. At first it was a really good relationship and I enjoyed spending time with my Sugar Daddy when I finished my shift at Barnfield escorts. He used to pick me up even though it was late, and we ended up going out for drinks before we went back to my place.
That was all fine, in many ways it seemed like he wanted to take over my life. Not only did he want to spend time with me during the week, but it was not long before he seemed to want to take over my weekends as well. I was a lot younger than my Sugar Daddy and actually wanted to spend my time going out with my friends or the girls from Barnfield escorts. Hanging around with a guy in his 50's was not really the sort of thing I wanted to spend my Saturday nigh doing.
Even though he paid me for the pleasure of my company, things started to become a little bit too much, and when he insisted that we have Sunday lunch together, I had to say no. I really could not take it anymore, and I finally realised I needed to ditch my Sugar Daddy. He was simply taking over my life, and I wanted to do other things than going out for dinner, and waiting for him to play his round of golf. Sunday was after all my own personal domain, and I spent the time getting ready for Barnfield escorts.
I knew that I would miss having my Sugar Daddy around. After all, he paid for a lot of my clothes and contributed to the running costs of my little car. But at the same time, I felt pretty certain that I would be able to pick up another guy at Barnfield escorts. There were plenty of gents who used Barnfield escorts services, but still wanted to enjoy some personal company with a sexy young girl for things like dinners and lunches. Setting up business dates could after all prove rather expensive.
My Sugar Daddy clearly thought that he was in control, and he was certainly very surprised when I dumped him. I had not expected that kind of reaction which I got from my Sugar Daddy. As a matter of fact, he more or less pleaded with me, and seemed determined to not let me go. He did not get the fact that I thought he was too clingy, and was trying to dominate all aspects of my life. It felt good to let go, and it did not take me long to find other Sugar Daddy at Barnfield escorts. My Sugar Daddy is a really nice guy, and I adore spending time with him. He has an excellent sense of humour and we do so much more than just spend time in bars.

"Lights, Camera Book Fair! Where Reading Makes You a Star," is the theme for this year's annual reading night at the Conemaugh Township Intermediate School.
The event will take place today at the school, with the doors opening at 5:30 p.m. PTA Reading Night coordinator Chrissey Troxell said it a wonderful way to encourage reading to the students.
"The PTA has been doing this for years. I know I have been involved with it for five years and it has been happening at least nine years before that."
Troxell, who is also the PTA president and a member of the Conemaugh Township School Board, said the event is a joint effort between the PTA members, the staff, students and members of the community.

Heists And Homers will take a special look at the evening contests across the Major League Baseball landscape for Saturday, September 26. With more and more teams clinching their spots in the postseason, look for some clubs to begin sitting their players a bit more periodically, especially those who have nothing to gain in terms of positioning. Make sure to check the starting lineups as close to first pitch as possible, before you submit your final MLB DFS lineup.
Saturday night's games feature just one starting pitcher priced over the $10,000 mark. Josh Tomlin checks in at $11,700, which is roughly one quarter of your overall daily salary. As great as he has been pitching as of late, is he a wise investment for this evening? Heists And Homers is here to help you answer that question – and many more – as you ponder your daily fantasy baseball lineups for 9/26. Good luck!

Facebook is not the internetBy http://profile.typepad.com/1237764140s22740 // April 24, 2013 in Facebook
News item: "U. S. employees set to be forced to give bosses their Facebook PASSWORDS."
It's time to stop letting Facebook, the affiliate marketing company, wrap itself up as a proxy for the internet.
If you want to defend the internet, why take as a poster child a company whose business is antithetical to openness, transparency and user empowerment? A company that surrenders to an advertising model, as though 20th-century specific publishing models were the natural order of things.
Sheryl Sandberg is way cool, but the great work she is doing in stimulating debate about America's gender skewered worklife has nothing to do with her being an exec at Facebook. She could be at Google. Or John Deere.
If you want to defend the Internet, convince Peter Thiel to pay every Facebook employee $1 million to go back to college and get a liberal arts education. Imagine these guys (that's largely true, right?) read Camus and studied art history at the same time they were let loose with code.

Since elk area 6013 was established by the WDFW commission in 2010, both elk numbers and elk damage have rapidly increased on the Buckley-Enumclaw plateaus.
In June of 2012, I sent letters to Sen. Pam Roach, Rep. Christopher Hurst and Rep. Cathy Dahlquist, asking for their help to solve the elk problems.
Sen. Roach promptly called me and voiced her concerns. Last April 8, Sen. Roach organized a meeting attended by about 50 very concerned landowners, as well as the Farm Bureau and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. The WDFW region manager, along with three conflict specialists, were also in attendance. Meetings have since been help between WDFW and the Muckleshoot Tribe and progress is being made to resolve the elk issues.
Conversely, I received no reply from either Rep. Hurst or Rep. Dahlquist. In January of 2013 I sent each another letter saying: "I am certainly disappointed that you failed to respond to my June letter, but please let me know if you would like to receive a copy of my next letter." That has been over a year and a half ago and neither Rep. Hurst nor Rep. Dahlquist have shown enough interest to give me the courtesy of a reply.
If you want something accomplished, the choice is clear: please vote to re-elect Sen. Pam Roach.
Bill Sylvester, Buckley

May and June are the traditional exam months whether at School or College. After years of study these exams bring about, for example, the completion of childhood and adolescence and or passport to a new stage in life. Whichever, a time of CHANGE. A time of anxiety and even fear at one extreme and elation at the other.
Sometimes one should ask for whom is the problem greatest, student or parent? These dilemmas can stir up deep emotions and it can be these very emotions that can be the motivation to success or disaster.
Take a look at the situation within your family and it may be necessary to consider the preparation as part of a journey; the outcome of the exams may be failure or success but lead to an unexpected change in the planned pathway. Many great scholars, business people and entrepreneurs did not achieve their goals in exams but would agree that this "failure" had been the essential motivation to strive in the new direction.
However at this point in time most students are preparing diligently for their exams. Supportive family and friends are a blessing. This helps reduce or remove all unnecessary anxieties or obstacles. For the anxious parent, examine your own thoughts and fears. Ask yourself what is this anxiety about, after all, it is not your exam?
If you are the student, there is always the question about the completion of the course work and projects but also, believe this or not, some are sitting exams in subjects or for qualifications they do not wish to pursue! What can happen then, is they intentionally set out to underachieve as this seems to be the only way to make a point. Sadly this negative mind set can also be destructive.
Remember, it is only an exam. It does not have to control your present or future but to have the additional subject under your belt can prove useful in years to come. Those who were perpetually, and dejectedly, performing poorly in exams can vouch for the value of the knowledge and this experience in their repertory of skills later in life. Exams are not everything! But they have their uses.
For those preparing for exams give yourself time to be able to relax; quality food to feed both body and mind and, what many forget, is good water. Even if you know your study and exam habits, dehydration is a major inhibitor of concentration. Try a glass of water 20minutes before any food several times a day and experience the result. Avoid or reduce caffeinated and alcoholic drinks as these trigger water loss and promote dehydration.
Don't punish yourself, if you need to relax, to calm frayed nerves, Bach Rescue Remedy is a simple and useful solution. Better still, talk to someone you are close to whether in your family, school or college.
There are several Homoeopathic remedies, for example,
Before selecting any Homoeopathic remedy first check with the shop assistant that the remedy fits your anxiety symptoms or seek advice from your local Homoeopath.
Best wishes for the exams and know that in the light of a bad experience someone is there to listen and give you support.

God Hates Us All
Slayer began writing lyrics for a new album prior to their appearance at the 1999 Ozzfest. However, every three to four months the band was distracted by commitments to Ozzfest and worldwide "Tattoo the Earth" tour with Slipknot. Guitarist Jeff Hanneman later admitted, "That was the last break. Then we got our shit together." The band's longtime producer, Rick Rubin, was too busy to work with Slayer and felt "burned out"—unable to create intense music. Araya and King had similar feelings about Rubin, and King remarked he "wanted to work with someone into the heavy-music scene, and Rubin's not anymore. I wanted somebody who knows what's hot, knows what's selling, knows the new techniques, and will keep me on my toes." Rubin recommended two producers, although the first producer was not going to work out personality-wise according to Hanneman. The band gave a second candidate, Matt Hyde, a trial on the song "Bloodline", which appeared in the movie Dracula 2000. The band was pleased with Hyde's work on "Bloodline" and hired him to produce the entire album. "Bloodline" was also briefly used in the 2009 film Law Abiding Citizen. The song "Here Comes the Pain" had originally been recorded almost two years prior to the release of God Hates Us All, appearing on the compilation album WCW Mayhem: The Music in 1999, and then used as the opening theme for WCW Thunder from February 16, 2000, to the final episode on March 21, 2001.
God Hates Us All was to be recorded in a Hollywood studio; however, the band relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia due to the availability of cheaper studio time. Hyde recommended a studio to the band—The Warehouse Studio (owned by Bryan Adams) as he had previously worked there. The studio was altered to make it "feel like home" for Slayer; as opposed to the setting for, in King's words, the "lightweight Canadian pop singer". This consisted of adding incense burners, candles, dimmed lights and pornography on the walls. Two banner flags of two middle fingers were also hung up. Vocalist Tom Araya says, "That was basically the attitude of Slayer in the studio. We had a red devil head on one of the speakers. We had a skull on another. That is the kind of shit we put up. Spooky stuff that makes you feels at home."
Hyde used the digital audio workstation Pro Tools during the engineering, production, and audio mixing stages of the album. Slayer members wanted to keep the use of computer effects to a minimum, only to include a small amount of delay and distortion. As with previous recordings, the drum tracks were recorded first. Drummer Paul Bostaph follows a simple rule suggested by Rubin when in the studio: "The perfect take is the one that felt like it was going to fall apart but never did." Seven-string guitars were used on the tracks "Warzone" and "Here Comes the Pain," the first time Slayer had done so. King was at the B.C. Rich guitar company (manufacturer of his signature model, the KKV) and decided to borrow a seven string guitar. After writing one song, King ordered a seven string as he thought "there's no point having one tuning for just one song," so he wrote another, going on to comment "you don't have to be good to make up a seven-string riff." The album features two songs on seven string guitars, four songs with guitars tuned to Drop-B and all other songs in C# Standard.
God Hates Us All explores such themes as religion, murder, revenge, and self-control King wrote a majority of the lyrics, which he based on "street" subjects which everyone could relate to, rather than "Satan this, Satan that," and "the usual Dungeons & Dragons shit" from the band's previous records. King told Guitar World:
I definitely wanted to put more realism in it, more depth.God Hates Us All isn't an anti-Christian line as much as it's an idea I think a lot of people can relate to on a daily basis. One day you're living your life, and then you're hit by a car or your dog dies, so you feel like, "God really hates me today."
The song "Threshold" is about reaching one's limit with a person in a situation where one is about to break—and are about to blow up as they get "under your skin", while "Cast Down" features a fallen Angel who falls into drugs. "God Send Death" and "Deviance" take up the idea of killing people for pleasure. Both songs were written by Hanneman. Having read several books on serial killers, Hanneman came to the conclusion he could only kill someone if they really "pissed him off", and decided he was unable to kill someone he did not know just for power. He later admitted he was trying to get into that person's mind; "why do they get off on it? Without being angry, just killing for the sake of killing and getting off on it. I just wanted to get into that mindset."
While other members went to local pubs, Araya spent his free hours reading factual books regarding serial killers, including Gordon Burn's Happy Like Murderers: The Story of Fred and Rosemary West. Araya was seeking inspiration and aimed to sound convincing while singing the lyrics, avoiding himself to sound like a gimmick. Araya sang the lyrics more "over-the-top" than done on previous albums, as King's writing style is more "aggro." This resulted in Kerrang! reviewer Jason Arnopp describing the album's lyrics as "so packed with foul and abusive language that it sounds as if D-12 and the Sopranos family were going head-to-head in a celebrity marathon."

Singer Jessica Mauboy has come a long way since her days as young aspiring singer on Australian Idol.
The 27-year-old has evolved into an acclaimed solo artist and bona fide bombshell over the past decade.
As the breakout star of the 2006 season of reality TV hit Australian Idol Jessica's beauty looks consisted of dark, heavy eye shadow and thick, long locks.
Later evolving into a beauty risk-taker, the singer has rocked everything from a bold, bright red -lip at this year's TV Week Logie Awards, to sleek honey-coloured locks at last year's ARIA Awards where she made history as the first indigenous artist to reach no.1 on the charts.

I'm back to the gym but to be honest I'm feeling quite down about it. I know that after a break I'm going to be comparatively feeble, and I know that everyone else won't be, and I know I'm not supposed to compare myself to others (but let's face it, when you compete how can you noti?!) but I still felt bad when I went on Monday.
Of course, I haven't even lost that much strength – I did the prescribed squats at the prescribed weight (paused squats, 3 sets of 5 @ 70%/70kg) and I did some fairly decent rack pulls (3 sets of 3 @ 90kg, then singles up to 115kg) but of course I can't help but compare myself to the new-ish girl who was rack pulling 140kg. I've rack pulled 135kg before, and I'm probably 10 years older than her, so I ought not to be comparing… but how often do our brains do what they ought to do?
A giant irony, given my last post, is that I managed to lose 2kg in Las Vegas. Not from lack of food (I ate mostly fast food on holiday, because the USA is the only place that has Popeye's and In-n-Out Burger), but from lack of training. Therefore the conclusions I can draw from the 6 weeks of volume training I did before my holiday are that volume work does indeed give me a ton (or a couple of kg) of extra muscle weight. Plus, given I can still pause squat 70kg after 2 weeks off, it appears to have preserved a decent amount of my strength when I wasn't training.
One thing that's definitely fallen by the wayside is my flexibility. I went to Pilates today and hah, I could barely do any of it.
Ah, talking here about my envy of other lifters at the gym definitely helps. I know alllll the rhetoric about how we're not supposed to compare ourselves to others, but it's a thing that's easier said than done.

A Near North attorney was arrested for removing an electronic monitoring bracelet he had been ordered to wear last month after he violated an order of protection.
Bruce Jorgensen, 53, was arrested by police on the sidewalk in front of his home in the 1100 block of N. LaSalle Drive and charged with damaging government property. A police report states he pried off the bracelet and "secreted it in a vent" inside his house.
His attorney told Judge Israel Desierto today Jorgensen removed the device because its battery had gone dead. Assistant State's Attorney Samara Spector said the order of protection was issued in Rolling Meadows.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

The USSR had an army of some 1.8 million men stationed throughout the Soviet Union. This massive armed force suffered from a number of serious weaknesses. Stalin had purged the armed forces leadership throughout the 1930's, eliminating anyne whom he believed to pose a political threat to his leadership. As a consequence the Red Army lacked experienced leadership as many of the leading generals and officers had been stripped of their command, imprisoned or executed. The Red Army wasn't expected to be neded in major conflict against an industrial power in 1939 though. The negotiations of August 1939 between Molotov and Ribbentrop agreed a non agression pact. stalin knew that hitler could not afford, in 1939, to break this pact and face war on two fronts. This allowed time for development of forces and for experience to be gained through forced annexation of parts of Finland in 1939 -40.
The Soviet air force was sizeable. By 1936 the USSR was producing 3600 aircraft per annum. In 1939 the red air force began production of the Lavochkin LaGG-3 which had a range of 400 miles and a top speed of 350mph. This bomber was mass produced throughout the course of the war. Soviet Pilots also had the advantage of having flown in the short war against Japan in 1938. Mobilisation of the Soviet population following the German invasion of Poland led to mas production of a range of long range bombers and fighter planes. sheer weight of numbers, it was hoped, would overcome the technical deficiiencies encountered by many f the machines.

Eyes Open
A/N: Hey, look at that! The long-awaited sequel to Tryst that I had promised! Sorry for the delay but I only recently got re-inspired.
NOTES: This basically takes off from Countdown, except in my universe, I've already had Beckett break up with Josh. And Castle and Beckett have more baggage (see Volume I).
You're All I Have
The door opens.
"What were you going to say?" Kate blurts out.
Castle is standing in the doorway, surprised yet not surprised to find her standing on the other side of his threshold. "What?" he asks dumbly.
"At the precinct. Before we got interrupted. You were going to say something." She steps into his apartment and he eases the door shut behind her. "'I was thinking maybe…' 'Maybe' what, Castle?"
He sighs and takes a step back from her. "You don't want to do this, Kate."
"Don't want to do what?" she challenges back.
This isn't fair to him. She knows that. Ever since she called off… whatever it is they had been doing, he had been respectful to the point that everything seemed to have returned to normal. At least until her mother's case resurfaced. That first kiss had been his idea but the second had been hers.
Now, three near-death experiences later and she can no longer tell which way is up. She remembers telling him, months ago, that she can't imagine him as her boyfriend because he isn't reliable in relationships but that statement no longer seems accurate. When he tells her 'always', she knows he means it.
And right now, when the fear of ice and clocks makes her unable to rest, there he remains: solid and alive and always there for her.
"This has been one hell of a day," he says and then pauses because he knows why she came over – hell, if they hadn't been interrupted, he would have told her to come home with him. His eyes turn pleading, "I'm trying really hard here, Kate."
This is the unfair part. She holds all the cards but she has no idea what she wants to do with them. Still, it's been one hell of a day. She steps forward. "Maybe I don't want you to try so hard," she says. She tilts her head up in order to speak softly against his ear, "I still feel so cold, Castle—" her voice drops to a whisper "—please… warm me up."
The fireplace is on in the living room. That's where they start removing their clothes. And it's underneath all the blankets and comforters that Castle had curled himself in before she had knocked that the two of them start to regenerate heat.
The weight of his body on hers, the way his hands know just where to touch – that all feels the same but something is off. Different. When he brings his lips down to meet hers tenderly, she knows what it is. The gasp of realisation makes him pull away but she shakes her head and arches her body up to urge him on.
Her body is buzzing but her brain is spinning. The difference is that this is no longer just sex tempered with confused emotions and his eager attempts at winning her over—
She moans when his fingers slide into her, his thumb gently flicking her clit so that she opens up more for him.
–this has become, in just a few short months, not just passion but devotion and there's only one outcome to be had from that sort of attachment…
Kate squeezes her eyes shut at that moment, choosing to wrap her arms around Castle's neck in order to kiss him fiercely. She doesn't want to think anymore. About anything.
His lips start to move across her cheek and down her neck even as his fingers continue to push deeper into her, curling them until he finds—
Now her gasp is one of pleasure. "Castle," she breathes out.
His fingers continue their exploration, hitting that spot over and over until she's crying out for release. But she's so tense and still so scared that it doesn't come the way she needs it to. He pulls out of her and she whimpers.
"Ssh," he whispers, pressing his lips against her forehead. "Everything's okay now, Kate. We're okay now."
They lie still for a while. The only movements being the series of light kisses they exchange every few seconds. Their limbs are tangled together and when she's ready, she snakes a hand down between their bodies in order to stroke him hard and position him at her entrance.
His eyes watch hers carefully as he slides slowly into her heat, stopping to let her adjust to him. "Are you okay?" he asks her once he feels himself surrounded completely by her body.
She nods and gives him a small smile. "I've missed you," she says in a voice so low that it can barely be heard.
He starts to move slowly above her. "You have no idea how much I've missed you," he replies.
Now her smile is impish. "Why don't you show me."
She only catches a glimpse of his grin before his mouth latches onto her nipple, teasing and sucking first one, then the other. She wraps one of her legs around him and he takes that as permission to thrust harder, a sensation that makes her moan and her body burn.
"Are you hot now?" he says in gasps as he pumps into her faster.
She can no longer answer him. Her body is lifting and riding with him and when he sees she's close, he whispers, "Come for me, Kate."
"I—" she's gasping and her whole body is flushed.
"You can." He's sucking at her pulse point and nibbling her ear. And then, with a hard kiss to her lips, he opens his mouth on an inhale. "I love you," he says.
It's the surprise more than anything that makes her tense up, that gives her that one last push needed to bring them both to orgasm.
She shudders against his body afterwards. He's turned them so that she is tucked firmly against his chest on her side. He kisses her temple and brushes back some of her matted hair. She's quiet. Her eyes are closed. Her breaths, even.
"You know how I feel about you," he says softly against her ear.
She hears him but she's not as brave. So, she says instead: "I miss you when you're not around."
A/N: Honestly, from this point forward, I don't think you have to have read Tryst (I mean, some of the references and actions between characters might make more sense if you did but I like options as a reader…) Anyway, this chapter is kind of like the happy ending that I didn't give them in Volume I but as it is a separate story, there will be more drama and angst if you decide to follow me down this path! :) Oh, and whereas Separation Anxiety is where my innocent fluff goes to party, this story will definitely be my smut playground… See? Fun for all ages! ;)

The Worst Festival of the Year
By Alex Kats
After the dread of shule choices for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur have passed, I turn to the loathing that I have for the festival of Simchat Torah. If there was one day from the Jewish calendar that I could expunge, it would certainly be that one. Some people might think that it is strange that I loathe a festival, particularly one that has the word simcha (joy) in its name, but my distaste for the festival stems from the fact that the happiness is misplaced, and the real joy that should be associated with the festival is often lacking. Allow me to explain.
At its essence, Judaism is all about the Torah. Without it, all that we know about being Jewish would be entirely different. The expected morals, ethics, laws and rituals of Judaism as well as the morals and ethics of monotheism and of the three major monotheistic religions come from the Torah. The English translation of the Old Testament of the Bible that we call the Torah is still the highest selling book of all time. The Torah in Judaism ought to be our spiritual compass and our guiding light.
Simchat Torah, as described in some of the liturgy, is an independent festival tacked onto the end of the week-long celebration of Sukkot. It signifies the end of the annual biblical cycle, whereby the weekly reading of portions of the Torah in the synagogue each week comes to an end. The tradition according to the sages is to then roll over the Torah and start reading again from the beginning. Simchat Torah therefore is the celebration of the conclusion of the cycle and the immediate start of the next cycle. Yet this festival, which was inaugurated to celebrate the Torah and make it joyous, has become corrupted.
Today, Simchat Torah and Purim can easily be confused. Both have become the festivals of drunkenness and disorderly behaviour. But whereas on Purim such actions might be warranted or at least justified in some circumstances, should they really be acceptable on Simchat Torah? My biggest issue with the day is during the part of the synagogue service in the evening and morning known as Hakafot. At its minimum, this is a time when all the Torah scrolls are removed from the ark, and a procession is conducted with various members of the congregation carrying the Torah scrolls seven times around the bimah. After that, the final portion from the Torah is read, immediately followed by the first portion. It sounds like it should be a swift and respectable part of the service, but in most synagogues it has become anything but.
To start with, although the procession need only go around the bimah seven times, as a means of injecting so-called simcha, in most synagogues this procession can take two or more hours with an innumerable number of circuits. Each circuit is often accompanied by a monotonous Hebrew song or prayer extract, and as the circuits progress, they often get faster, louder and more chaotic. Moreover, for some unknown reason, alcohol is often added to the mix. Many shules sanction the provision vodka or whisky shots just before or during the Hakafot, and even in the shules that declare themselves dry, someone usually produces a flask or two of vodka. Considering this happens during the Hakafot – one of only very few times when all the Torah scrolls are out of the ark – the consequences are sometimes disastrous.
I have heard of cases of severe injuries during the Hakafot and I have personally seen in Melbourne and elsewhere, circumstances where some of the people dancing with the Torah scrolls would otherwise be too inebriated to legally drive, but somehow are entrusted to carry G-d's words around the bimah. On one occasion, in the middle of the Hakafot and with Torah scrolls all around him, someone who could barely hold himself upright, swore and screamed very loudly when a guy danced passed him and accidentally stepped on his foot.
Even if the people holding the Torah are not the ones that are that drunk, is there really a place for drunkenness and such behaviour in the synagogue and in front of the Torah? It is fair to say that as a result of all this, Hakafot have become an approved form of synagogue anarchy, and that the focus is much more on the simcha than on the Torah. It is a particular shame because this festival comes at the end of a month of festivals, and right after Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur when we vow to be better in the upcoming year, but so often Simchat Torah brings out the worst in some people.
Apart from all the other issues, the Hakafot as practiced in most orthodox shules, also alienate the women. While the men dance and get drunk on their side of the divide for close to two hours, the women either look longingly at the action, or leave the sanctuary altogether. That certainly isn't inclusive and hardly seems joyous. One solution, to solve that issue at least, even in orthodox circles, is to give one of the Torah scrolls to the women and to allow them to do their own Hakafot in another part of the shule. But to me that sounds like an afterthought or temporary fix to a greater problem. On top of that, even on the men's side, as the Hakafot drag into their second hour of chaos, and as a dish or a window invariably gets broken in some part of the synagogue, the children usually leave because they have come to the end of their tether, and only a hardcore quorum of men remain to finish off the circuits. Eventually everyone returns for the actual Torah reading, but by that point most people are either delirious, exhausted or simply over it, and the Torah reading – which should be the highlight of the festival and is the reason why everyone is there in the first place – becomes an uninspiring and lacklustre footnote to a crazy day.
My usual way of dealing with Simchat Torah, or at least the Hakafot element, is to visit as many shules as possible during this time, thereby avoiding participating in Hakafot at any of them. And as a result of all this, if I had the opportunity, I would cancel Simchat Torah entirely. Of course, that is impossible, so what I really would like to do is redefine and reinvigorate the day. In my utopian world, the service would be made more joyous by an understanding of what the festival is all about, and by an infusion of joyous tunes that everyone could sing along to. The alcoholic Simcha would come after the service and would never enter the synagogue. Each person, male or female, would have the chance to hold a Torah and then participate in a reading with translation, interpretation and real comprehension. This would become the real highlight of the service, and it would mean that each person would leave the service with a greater understanding of what the Torah is about and how it is relevant to them. If that is not joyous in a religious sense on a day like this, then I don't know what is. Everyone, without exception, would then be invited to a joyous meal where each person would be made to feel special, worthy and joyful.
All of this may not ever be possible because the way Simchat Torah is celebrated these days is unlikely to change anytime soon. But I did hear of a group of people last year in New York who are as fed up by the festival as I am and for a few years now have been leaving the city for Simchat Torah and celebrating it much like I have described above. This year I will certainly try to find a shule that is more inclusive and joyous without the need for alcohol, and hopefully over time, if other people here and abroad also feel that Simchat Torah has descended into something that it ought not to be, then maybe they will join my cause.

Cincinnati Water Damage: Article About Why Sump Pumps Fail
In order to avoid underground wetness, many homes have sump systems installed. These systems involve a basin that collects moisture and a pump that empties the basin through a discharge line. Sump pump failure is one of the leading causes of the destruction that Cincinnati water damage specialists are often tasked to repair.
The most common reason sump pumps fail is power failure. Heavy storms are particularly problematic since they can cause power outages and excessive ground wetness. Power outages aren't avoidable, but there are steps that homeowners can take to deal with them. Most modern sump pumps have an onboard battery backup, but batteries should only be used temporarily if possible. The better option is to have a backup generator that can sustain the pump as long as fuel is available.
Another common reason that sump pumps fail is improper installation. In fact, a study by the American Society of Home Inspectors revealed that after power failure, an incorrectly sized pump was the leading cause of sump failure. A pump that's too small for the job can occur because the plumber misestimated the size or because the homeowner sought to save money by purchasing a smaller system. Other common issues include a missing check valve or missing air relief hole on the discharge line, both of which can lead to motor damage.
The water damage restoration experts at Griffin Contracting and Restoration of Cincinnati can assist you with any questions regarding fire and water cleanup or flooding damage.
A sump pump won't operate properly if the float isn't working correctly. The float switch is what allows the pump to turn on and off. Switches are prone to failure and are a primary reason why sump pumps must be regularly maintained. Switches should be replaced at the slightest sign of wear, and professionals will often recommend upgrading to a premium float switch.
The discharge line is crucial to the operation of a sump pump. If it freezes or becomes clogged with debris, then the system won't work and the motor will eventually burn out. A grate over the exit point is usually installed to ensure that debris doesn't enter the line, and homeowners should regularly inspect that screen and replace it as necessary. That grate won't prevent freezing, but freezing is rare unless the discharge line lacks the appropriate length. An effective safety measure against freezing is what's commonly called an ice guard. Ice guards are transitional points in discharge lines that are installed close to a home and have openings that release water being backed up by the clog.

A team of professors from Halmstad University visit TROY University in the USA. This team comprised of Ewa Zimmerman, Mats Lindqvist, Jesper and Mikal, made a formal presentation to TROY design students regarding the curriculum offered at Halmstad as well as a thorough explanation of information design in communications.
Additionally, the Halmstad and TROY teams had a series of planning meetings regarding the Macedonian Project as well as future collaborations for the purpose of interdisciplinary and international growth. It was determined that web design students of TROY would team up with informatics students of Halmstad to work on a parallel project during the Spring 2008 term. It was also suggested that a team of students/faculty from TROY would visit Halmstad in May 2008 to collaborate in a design charrette with their student/faculty counterparts of Sweden.
Although most of the visit was comprised of important meetings and presentations, the Swedes were able to take some time to visit the nearby beautiful Florida beaches as well as visit a professional hockey game in NYC before returning home.
08.15.07 ::
Ewa Zimmerman and Torben Svane of Halmstad agree to arrange a visit to TROY by representatives from the communications and informatics programs. The purpose of this visit is to strengthen the partnership between the two institutions through common understanding of each institution's campus, curriculum and vision. The formal visit to TROY would take place in Fall 2007.
04.02.07 ::
In late May, TROY sent a duo --Sara Dismukes and Sheetal Nangia-- to gather
important information from the actual Small Montmartre Youth Arts Festival
in Bitola, Macedonia. The trip was highly productive as Sara and Sheetal
met directly with the director and founder of the festival and conducted
a comprehensive interview through an interpreter. The TROY team gathered
many still images as well as video.
great benefit of the Macedonia visit was the meeting of representatives
from a technical college in Bitola. This institution is anxious to partner
as well with iC3 in creating collaborative possibilities.

12.16.06 ::
It has been determined that the TROY/Halmstad team of designers will be
creating an informational web presence to promote an international youth
arts festival that is held each spring in the city of Bitola, Macedonia. More details forthcoming...
11.26.06 ::
The TROY UNIVERSITY team returned from Sweden/Denmark to begin preparation
for the next phase of the collaborative project. Soon to be posted will
be a couple briefings by experts in the fields of collaboration and sustainability
in design. These briefings will be provided not only for our partners
in this project but also for the benefit of the iC3 readership.
progress is being made on developing the common web shell, the gathering
of content related to the project, identification of Swedish informatics
students who will be participating and more. As soon as the developments
come to fruition, updates will be posted here.

Maria Akesson (SE), and Josh Yohn (USA) discuss parameters of the partnership.
11.14.06 ::
Students and faculty from TROY UNIVERSITY are preparing to depart for
Copenhagen, Denmark to visit with two experts: educationalist, environmentalist,
designer and founder of the ICIS Centre of Denmark--Karen Blincoe (left below) and author, designer, environmentalist, and maker--Alistair
Faud-Luke, UK (below right).
two will offer this upcoming iC3 project a context of
social and cultural awareness. The exact details of the collaborative
project will be forthcoming as plans are now being negotiated with parties
from a third country to be the focus of the TROY/Halmstad project.
Students and faculty from HALMSTAD
UNIVERSITY of Sweden and TROY
UNIVERSITY of the United States move forward on a collaborative multimedia
project. Participants are embarking on a journey to discover a design
solution utilizing their collective skills. The team of students/faculty
will be from various academic backgrounds ranging from music to engineering.
November 2006, participants will meet face-to-face in Halmstad to meet and interview their partners across the ocean. They will also
be presented with a written brief prepared by a significant designer in
the field of sustainable design. Another brief will be shared that identifies
various "hot spots" around the world where the message of sustainability
can effectively and immediately make a large difference.

|Re: class project on Hadoop
|Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:00:58 GMT
Hi Nikhil, For #2, there is some initial work done in a project called Chukwa. Chukwa is designed to collect hadoop metrics, job log files, hdfs/mr client trace log files, and system metrics. By using those data, it is possible to reconstruct state machines of the health of the hadoop cluster and identify faulty hardware. If you are interested, the research work is in a jira at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-94 Jiaqi Tan has written a more detailed research paper at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12404723/tan.pdf There was another research project in Yahoo, which base on using hadoop metrics with one class svm classification to identify faulty hardware by AI. The AI approach has a lot of potential, but it has not been published yet. However, it is on the roadmap for Chukwa project. Hope this is useful. Regards, Eric On 2/22/11 9:28 AM, "Nikhil Panpalia" <email@example.com> wrote: Hello everyone, I'm a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin.

I was particularly interested in the following projects (listed on the wiki page): 1) Sort and Shuffle optimization in the MR framework. 2) Hadoop compatible framework for discovering network topology and identifying and diagnosing hardware that is not functioning correctly. Can anyone give me any details about these? Are these projects already under progress or completed? Thanks, Nikhil

Lady Layla likes to make sure that slaves obey every word that comes from her mouth. This new slave did not know that and she had to make sure he did. She told him but he did not seem like he was listening to her. She found a better way to make him understand her. She made him lie down and then tied his hands before trampling his face with her bare feet.
Amber found her boyfriend texting a girl she hates. She did not want to choose friends for him but she also did not like her to text that girl. So instead of telling him, she decided to humiliate and degrade him whenever he did so that he would associate texting her with pain and humiliation. She sat on his face with her jeans and nearly choked her. It was painful and she loved it.

Report | Upside case for the economy looks stronger
Last week's economic data was relatively light due to the Thanksgiving holiday, but releases showed no loss of momentum in the economy.
On the corporate front, durable goods orders for October leaped well above expectations. Although this level of growth is not sustainable, it does indicate that corporate spending could be on an upswing and contribute positively to economic growth in the fourth quarter. In recent years, capital spending has been relatively weak so this could portend a shift in behavior, especially if the incoming administration implements favorable policies.

Thou, Jacques Auguste de
Thou, Jacques Auguste de zhäk ôgüst´ də to͞o [key], 1553–1617, French historian and magistrate. As a member of the Parlement of Paris, Thou rendered outstanding service to Henry IV. The first volumes of his great History of His Own Times (1604–8, in Latin), covering the Wars of Religion of the 16th cent., aroused Roman Catholic opposition because of his strictures against the Catholic League and his Gallican leanings. The complete work was published at Geneva in 1620 (tr., 2 vol., 1724–34). His son,
François Auguste de Thou, 1607–42, played a minor role in the conspiracy of his friend Cinq Mars , but was executed for failing to reveal it to the authorities.
See study of J. A. de Thou's works by S. Kinser (1966).
