My favourite 50 albums of 2011 so far.
Should anyone have the slightest inclination to read a list, which appears in no order other than roughly alphabetical, of my favourite/most-played albums of 2011 so far, so can do so by clicking this link:
And if not, well, I'm in your camp.
it's a good list, as you have a solid and wide ranging musical appetite may i recommend a few more which you never know, could make it to the cut...
son lux - we are rising
bodi bill - what?
dustin o'halloran - lumiere
roommate - guilty rainbow
william fitzsimmons - gold in the shadow
and a very nice free download of the delta mirror - machines that listened (remixed by the shimmies/bomarr/odd nosdam/busdriver and more)
Took Son Lux home the other day to put on iTunes.
Not got there yet, but sounding good from what I heard in the office.
fantastic... i hope you enjoy it...
its got a lot of lovely little elements and big character, i can't imagine it not making my top 5 of the year. there should be more vocal orchestral electronica in the world.
I'm guessing PJ Harvey was an oversight?
Also, albums by Wire, Gang of four, Jamie Woon, Big KRIT, Esben and the witch and Curren$y were all well decent.

This is a designated time and place for students to practice cases. It is recommended for students to attend the Case Interview Workshop (or at least have a general understanding of how to approach case interviewing) before attending this meetup session. Anne Laskowski, the Business Career Advisor, will be providing practice cases and available to provide further guidance and answer questions. The only way to get better at case interviewing is to practice, so come to this session to practice with other students.

Spoilers for The Walking Dead are below.
At long last, we're less than one week away from battening down the hatches and digging into what looks to be the most exciting season finale yet from The Walking Dead, and possibly any other show on TV. The way things have played out over the past 15 episodes, almost anything can happen over the course of the 90-minute installment, and to almost anyone. And since we're all hoping to have a pleasant summer that isn't spent making acorn desserts and cursing anyone who has anything to do with the AMC drama, we feel comfortable making quiet demands that the show makes a direct point to answer the following seven questions. We'd love the answers going with these to be of a satisfactory nature, but our greed can be tamped down to acceptance if it's all good enough.
How Badly Is Daryl Hurt?When "East" faded out, I'm certain the collective gasp drawn in by audiences had the power of a black hole. The burned-face bastard that is Dwight once again got the runaround on Daryl, only this time instead of taking something, Dwight left something: a bullet inside of Daryl's shoulder (or some nearby body part). His last-second words "You'll be all right," seem to indicate Daryl will still be breathing (though probably not arm wrestling) when the finale kicks off. But how hurt will Daryl be? Will it be so bad that Negan will pick him off out of sympathy, or will he still be healthy and agile enough to completely destroy Dwight the first chance he gets?

hi KAP...
I had to respond because one thing none of the doctors even told me about before my surgery was Gas!...For the first month and a half or so after surgery, I had gas ALL the Time! :(. And it was definitely loud--the "my stomach is growling" excuse would definitely not work. It literally sounded like a whoopee cushion or something, almost 10 times per day... I was so alarmed because I thought how can I go throught the rest of my life making these sounds?? But the people here told me it would eventuially go away and it has almost completely!
Now, I can't even remember the last time I had a gassy sound (I am about 3 months postop)--it may happen once every 2 weeks for me, and now the sound is so quiet that if I am in a room with people talking or a radio on, no one would ever hear it, really. I can always feel it coming, which is good bc you can put you hand over the stoma and muffle it as other said. I don't even do that since the sound is so quiet now. The only thing that I know gives me gas is ice cream, and thats because I am lactose intolerant!
Good luck. If you have gas at the beginning, it will surely decrease greatly as you recoup. :)

Virtually everyone these days knows a little about WordPress. The capabilities of the software are underutilized by many of its users. This article can remedy that. It will show you just how useful WordPress can be.
If the title for a post is long, try cleaning up the permalink. Avoid cumbersome URLs like "The Ten Ways Intelligent Parents Manage Their Children." Use just your keywords and improve your search engine rankings.
Spend some time learning about the tools and features WordPress offers bloggers. It's important for you to understand what the different features do and how each option improves your webpage. This can control many different formatting elements.
WordPress allows for simple video blogging. It may take more effort, but it's worth it. Most Internet surfers respond to visuals. Videos can convey things words cannot, so they are very useful.
If you're serious about keeping up with your blog, make a posting schedule for yourself. You will be more motivated when you have a schedule. In fact, to save even more time, you can create a week's worth of posts at once, then schedule WordPress to upload them for you automatically.
Omit special characters from the URLs of your blog posts. They can make it hard for search engines to "spider" and should be removed. Your URLs should also be shortened to just include keywords, so they do not overwhelm your visitors.
Sometimes you might think some changes you've made weren't saved. That's not necessarily the case. See if clearing the browser's cache resolves the issue. Make sure to press the shift key on your keyboard as you do it, and the issue should have been solved.
You will see your posts in chronological order unless you choose differently. Rearrange your list by changing the date. Open a post that you want to appear at the top and change the date located in the upper right corner. Select the date and make your changes; then, save the post to make the position change permanent.
Vidare in till den aktuella webbplatsen
You can improve your search engine rank by spending a few extra minutes with your pictures as you upload them. Use the title tags and alternate tags to include keywords. If someone pins you to Pinterest, for example, the title you put in will pop up.
Make your greeting engaging on the top of your WordPress home page. This will make visitors feel like your blog is more personal. Your webpage will be less automatic looking, and will be accessible via the Greet Box plugin.
It is important that you securely store your password. Also, only download reputable plugins and check the reviews before installing them. If your site is hacked or attacked with malware, you could lose the whole thing.
WordPress has been around for awhile now and most bloggers have some past with it. However, WordPress' true potential has yet to be experienced by many of its users. If all goes well, you will not fail in maximizing the potential of this marvelous tool.

I have a Miniature Dachshund (or however you spell that) and she's really cool, just a puppy. My Mom, however, has a Pomeranian. Now his birth certificate says that he was breed in Siberia, but I assure you this little cretin was spawned in the deepest, darkest pits of hell. If I leave my room and keep the door open, he walks in and leaves a nice steaming shit on the rug, EVERY TIME. Sometimes he likes to walk in when I'm playing video games and start barking to distract me.
The worst thing is, my Mother thinks he's the most innocent, adorable creature to ever grace the world with his presence. He puts on his "Nice" act around her... In other words, say she's around, he acts all cute... But the moment she turns her head, he gives me the look that says, "Heh, see? She likes me better than you. I'm cuter than you." And whenever I'm trying to sleep, he starts barking. Every goddamn ******* time. But since my Mom loves him, when I say, "SHUT THAT DOG UP!" She replies with, "Oh, he's just excited!" ..Excited that he has another opportunity to ruin my day, most likely...

In case any harp players, or bands with harp in them, haven't heard about it, Bushman Harmonicas is sponsoring a contest. You can enter up to 3 videos. Great prizes!
Here is my first one with the 1 man band. I have 2 more, both solo harp and vocal, but the battery on my camera died while uploading them to the computer. I left the charger at work, so it will be early next week till I get them up. I hate getting in my suits if I am not going to a gig, so I did all three at once so as not to have to get dressed up again. Walter

This guide is designed to help you understand the porting process and provide us with the correct information in order to submit your port request to your current provider for their approval.
We will try to submit the most accurate port request, based on the information that you provide in the port form; however, you may find it useful to spend some time confirming the details with your current provider prior to submitting the forms. This should reduce the likelihood of us receiving a rejection from the current provider and a subsequent increase in the porting fees.
When you have completed the form please either fax it to 01225 800 801 or scan and email it to email@example.com, along with a copy of a bill from your current service provider as proof of ownership of the numbers.
Once we have submitted your request we will send you a confirmation email. We will also keep you updated on our progress and inform you as soon as the port is accepted and a port date confirmed. Prior to the port date, we will set up the number in your account and add it to the package of your choice, to ensure a seamless transfer once the number ports.
Section one: customer information
Contact name - Registered customer name as stated on your account with your current provider
Company name - Registered company name as stated on your account with your current provider, if applicable
Gradwell account email address - If you are an existing Gradwell customer please give the email address associated with your account – this will be the account that the ported numbers are added to prior to the port date. New customers can set up an account by contacting our Sales Team on 01225 800800
Contact email address - If different from your account address
Contact telephone number - Please supply a contact telephone number for use in the event that we are unable to contact you by email
Section two: installation address
Some BT customers have a number that is forwarded from an exchange in another area – this is known as Call Forwarding. If this is the case, please provide the address and post code of the relevant exchange.
Otherwise, please give the address where the number is currently in use. If you are moving offices, please provide both your old address and your new address.
Please note that in some circumstances the installation address may be different to the billing address. If in doubt, please check with your current provider as an incorrect installation address or postcode is one of the most common reasons for the losing provider to reject a request.
Section three: about your current telephone service
Name of Service Provider - We can port from most of the large communications providers as long as we have the relevant agreement in place. If you are unsure if your numbers are portable to Gradwell, please call the Porting Desk on 01225 800870 and we will be happy to confirm this for you
Account number/Reference - You should be able to find this on the bill from your current provider and will help them to locate your account details on receipt of the port request
Main account holder name - This should be stated on your bill or can be confirmed by speaking with your current provider
Current service - Please complete this section carefully as incorrect information in this part can cause the request to be rejected. If you are unsure please confirm the service that you are being provided by speaking to your current provider
Single or multi line - A single line is one standard analogue line and number that terminates on a single wall socket. Multi lines are lines which are delivered to provide two or more lines
Number of lines - If your installation is a multi line we will need to know the number of lines currently in use. If there are more than 10 lines you must complete a separate Capacity Planning Form which can be found on the website
Associated products - Any products associated with the lines will need to be moved to another line or ceased prior to the port request being submitted. Any broadband services on the line will be ceased when the number is ported
Section four: main billing number
Please specify if this is to port, cease or remain live with the current provider.
Please note there can only be one main billing number on your request.
Section five: associated numbers to be ported
All numbers that are 'associated' to the main billing number will need to noted on the port form and marked to be ported, ceased or to remain live with the current provider.
If you are unsure whether there are any associated numbers you can check this with your current provider.
Section six: associated numbers to be ceased
As above, all associated numbers need to be noted even if they are not porting.
Please state in this section, the associated numbers that you wish to be ceased when the port takes place, if any.
Section seven: associated numbers to remain live with the current provider
Please state in this section, the associated numbers that you wish to remain live on an account with your current provider and not port or cease.
In some instances, the current provider will not be able to split a group of numbers so we may need to port a full range across. In this event, we will only add the numbers that you need to your account leaving the rest dormant. Alternatively, you can decide to reserve particular numbers for £0.50 monthly line rental (excluding VAT) to activate at a later date.
Section eight: porting details
Requested Port Date - Please note the earliest date that you would like the numbers to port across and we will take this into account when submitting the port request
Please see below for the current porting lead times:
- A single line request = five working days
- Multi line (up to 30 lines/numbers) = seven working days
- Multi line (30 or more lines/numbers) = seventeen working days
- Complex DDI = twenty two working days
- Single line SUP request = seven working days
- Multi line SUP request (up to 30 lines/numbers) = ten working days
- Multi line SUP request (more than 30 lines/numbers) = twenty working days
- Complex DDI SUP request = twenty five working days
The lead times stated above are for reference only and can vary depending on a number of factors; however we will keep you updated throughout the process.
Please note that if your request is rejected then we will have to submit with a fresh lead time.
Ports are normally completed between 10am and 1pm on weekdays; we do not port numbers on a weekend.
Packages you require for ported numbers - If you are unsure of the best package for your needs, please speak with our Sales Team on 01225800800 who will be able to assist you.
We can set up your account with packages and temporary numbers, prior to the port taking place and then replace the temporary numbers once we have confirmed that the port has been successful.
Section nine: customer authorisation
For all ports a signed Letter of Authority from the customer is required. Normally a signature on this form from the owner of the number will be sufficient.
Occasionally we may require customers to complete a separate Letter of Authority form which we will send to you if necessary.
Optional: BT Directiory Enquiries
At present we are only able to maintain a Directory Enquiries listing if your current provider is BT. Please contact us prior to submitting your port forms, if you wish to maintain your entry.
If your numbers are not listed, or you require to change your entry details, please fill in a separate BT Directory Enquiries form found on our website.
Additional information/requirements
Please note any additional information or requirements that you need us to take into account when organising your port.

What if you could buy time? What if there was a store, like a Macy's that sold time in blocks, like 1-year increments? Would you purchase it? Time is the most interesting commodity of all, in that you can buy it but you can't purchase it. You can't purchase it, because nobody has the power to sell it to you. This is an interesting dilemma that is probably on most people's mind at some point of their life.
What if you could purchase 10 years of time for $400,000? Would you buy it? Would you save all you have and go down to the store and exchange your money for time? I bet most people would! After all, YOLO (you only live once). Once you're dead there is nothing you can do, there are no more sunrises or sunsets. No more first dates. No more late-night phone calls with a lover or friend. You only get one ride with this thing called life and we should all try to maximize it to the best of our abilities.
Even though I bet most people would gladly pay $400,000 for 10 years of extra time, people usually seem to do the exact opposite. Instead of saving up their money for more Free Time, they usually exchange their time for money and more "stuff". They work overtime, get second jobs and continually update their resumes in hopes for increased earnings. For what? To impress the next person down the block with a bigger house, better car, or overpaid toys. I'm not judging these decisions as bad. If that's what you want to do with your money that's fine, because at times I have to check myself also. I would just like to know if you truly would purchase time if it were for sale. If your answer to that question is yes, then you are probably not serving yourself well by continuing to work to earn and earn to spend.
Time is hard to put a value on and I understand that. We can place value on material objects like a house or a car. Time, however, is given to us for an unknown period of time. We don't know how long we have on this planet. I believe that most people naturally become idealistically optimistic when they think of how long they are going to live. After all, who wants to think they are going to pass away at 45 years old? That's extremely depressing, but we all know someone who has died before the age of 50. It's difficult to automatically assume one would live until they are 80+ years old. If I make it to 80 that's fantastic! If I don't, I won't have any regrets and hopefully neither will you.
So, back to the question, it is possible to buy time, and I plan to buy as much of it as I can. I'll be giving up a lot of money in exchange for it. Just have to watch the spending of material things unless my bank account is being paid a great amount and I can still save and invest how I want. 🙂 What will I gain instead if I were to cut the extra spending? Freedom. Freedom to pursue my dreams and desires. To do more with my family and eventually ease the burden of everyday/monthly bills. Sure the wife and I will continue to work, but I want it to come down to it being our choice. Also to pass down our wealth to our daughter Skyy or any other future children we decide to have. I know over the course of time I will sound like a broken record but if it helps at least one person, it will be well worth it.
Work Hard or Work Smart?

- Wedding: May 2014 - NH
We're planning on TTC after our honeymoon. I am seeing my physician this month with goals of discussing metformin, and transitioning off of the pill. I'm hoping to get my FH/LSH tested prior to seeing her with my regular bloodwork as well. Is there anything else I should be looking into while I'm there? I'm overweight but have been working with a trainer finally and have been recording daily cals for months, so I'll have that as well. I can't wait to get off of the pill, but am hoping to right after the wedding so I'm not a hormonal mess right before. I don't have the best of insurance so I'm hoping to just see her for this visit and cover all things TTC in one shot.

I've recently been introduced to subscription boxes. I'm super excited to have received my very first box, although it's actually a bag, from Ipsy! I found out that this company is owned by Michelle Phan, whose YouTube tutorials I used to watch a lot back in the day. That fact alone made me feel comfortable subscribing. Every month I pay $10 to be sent a small makeup bag filled with 5 sample items. Because I am Canadian, I also have to pay the $4.95 shipping. Unfortunately, there are not many subscription boxes that originate in Canada. But I think this is such a fun idea. Who doesn't love mail? And it will be a nice surprise when you see what comes in your bag!
First, let me talk about the bag. It's smaller than I expected. It's a beautiful textured gold on one side and a shiny black on the other. I think the bag is very pleasing to the eye. Recently, I have a new found appreciation for gold after disliking it for most of my life!
Now, let's talk about the products inside the bag!
Eva NYC Therapy Session Hair Mask
I'm excited to try this the most out of all the items I received. It's supposed to strengthen your hair, which I need badly due to breakage! I live the ponytail life at work. 😉 Tomorrow, when I wash my hair, I'm definitely using this!
theBalm Cosmetics Meet Matt(e) Hughes Long-Lasting Liquid Lipstick
I got the shade "Committed." I'll be honest. I have not worn lipstick in 10 years, if I were to venture a guess. I'm not savvy with makeup in general but lipstick especially, or even lip gloss, I avoid. I thought the colour would be too harsh but I tried it on and loved it. It's very matte and stays on even after I tried scrubbing it off with water. I'm happy with this product!
Skone Cosmetics Pretty Eyes eyeliner
I thought this was going to be black but it is actually "plum." The eyeliner itself is very nice. Glides on smooth. I'm just not keen on the colour. I don't think it works for me. I love light purple eyeliner and maybe I'm just not used to dark colours on my eyes. I might experiment with it, but I might not.
Vasanti Cosmetics BrightenUp Exfoliating Cleanser
This is a 99% natural product made in Canada! The ingredients and their purposes all sound great to me. Papaya, aloe, coconut…softer, brighter, younger looking skin. I can't imagine seeing results from a little 20g tube but I am excited to try this, as I do have some skin issues. Hopefully this will help! The best thing about it? Not tested on animals. Thumbs up to Vasanti!
The colour is called "Stormy." It's a dark purple, and it's not bad. I just have to say I hate the tube so much. Because of it's shape, you can't put it down while doing your nails. You will have to hold it in your hand while also applying the polish. Now that's just a dumb design. I would never buy a bottle shaped like that, even if I like the colour. I stuck to applying it to my toenails because I just did not have the coordination for finger nails!
So, that's it for my first review. I think I will do this monthly as it will give me something to blog about! I also have a few other glam bags and boxes coming in soon so I will review them as well! It's such a thrill! I can't believe I had not heard of these subscriptions sooner. I am going to have a lot of fun with these!
Til next time, xoxo

As President-elect Donald Trump continues to dismiss the intelligence community's multiple reports on Russia's meddling in the U.S. election, another shocking detail of the country's involvement on Trump's behalf has just been confirmed.
During Thursday's Senate hearing over the election hacking, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper confirmed suspicions that Russia was not only involved in the hacking, but was also responsible for the onslaught of fake news and fake news websites that influenced the election in Trump's favor.
Democratic Rhode Island Senator Jake Reed questioned Clapper about the numerous reports that Russia might have created "fake news" to further influence the election. He asked:
"One of the aspects of this Russian hacking was not just disseminating information they had exploited from computers, but also the allegations of fake news sites, fake news stories that were propagated. Is that an accurate – is that one aspect of this problem?"
Clapper could not have said it better. He stated:
"This was a multifaceted campaign. So the hacking was only one part of it, and it also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, fake news."
When Reed followed up to ask if this was still continuing, Clapper said, "Yes."
You can watch Clapper deliver his comments on the Russian hacking below:
Russia's development of "fake news" is important to note. As the outcome of this election was a shock to many, fake news websites were held largely responsible for pushing a narrative that helped Trump gain support. There have been several highly inaccurate stories that reported on Trump – one heavily involved writer even publicly confessed "I fooled America with fake news stories and got Trump elected."
While there were many fake news sites pushing a Trump narrative that weren't connected to Russia, the country's involvement certainly didn't help. And considering that Trump has never liked the truth or facts, you can only imagine that he's going to keep defending Russia over this.

You've heard about trash piling up on the beaches and in some neighborhoods, but how about in outer space? Well as strange as that might sound, a number of NASA officials are beginning to take a look at the growing problem of space garbage they claim is littering the earth's outer atmosphere 550 miles straight up. The trash is a byproduct of old satellites and upper storage units left in orbit from previous flights and experts say this amounts to some 9,000 pieces of dangerous debris. Concern arises from it buzzing around the earth, often at high speeds, which can pose a danger to future space flights. With no economical solution to space junk, let's hope it's not light years before one is discovered.

I was filming some stuff about making pine pitch and hafting points the other day.� I had some extra space on the video, so I made a cane arrow and filmed it.� It's not the greatest, but it starts with straightening the cane (Arundo donax), and cutting a simple nock.� Then Chapter 2 is hafting a stone point in a foreshaft.� Chapter 3 is fitting the foreshaft to the mainshaft, fletching the arrow, and some quick and dirty decoration.
Most of you guys make arrows that are a million times better than mine, but I made the videos for the Youtube audience primarily - who are often new folks and who were asking me to do an arrow making thing.� So take it for what it is...just a simple beginner thing.� These videos work well to attract new folks to these primitive past-times.

To, Thanks for sharing your excellent cane arrowe building video with us. I enjoy seeing how other arrowsmiths make their equipment. Was the powdered hide glue you put in your mouth to mix with saliva, Knox powdered gelatin? Like the curved wood block with a groove to bend and tweak the heatened shaft. I noticed that you didn't rub any grease or tallow on the parts of the shaft before heating. Is Arundo donax moist enough to not require it ? I think I got some donax fromJoe Dabil at Winter Count years ago. Have you used granite rocks with transverse grooves in them for more primitive demonstrations? These asre heated in the coals of a fire and removed with tongs and used toheat and bend the shaft. I understand that this informative video was aimed at the beginner and a fine job you did. Thanks. P.S. - I like your T-shirt. WAA!

Am helping a friend tweek his Gigastudio/ Atmosphere/Trilogy computer,he is having problems getting the two spectrasonics programs to be pop and click free.
While trying to trouble shoot it I ran into a bit of a problem

When those two programs are not on the hard drive I can defragment it and the

But when I put atmosphere and trilogy on the drive and then defragment it , the

Has anyone run into this problem?

Thin Lizzy
Sheffield City Hall - Sunday 29th January 2012
Thin Lizzy were one of the bands that passed me by when I first got into rock music back in 1980. I was aware of their music but it has not been until recent years that I have truly appreciated how underrated this band are and what an amazing songwriter the late, great, Phil Lynott was. In all honesty, I would probably not have ventured out on a cold and wet January evening, had I not won a pair of tickets courtesy of Planet Rock and in doing so missed a brilliant gig.
Support for the evening came from Triggerfinger, a power-trio hailing from Antwerp, Belgium performing their unique hard blues rock (Queens Of The Stone Age meets Zeppelin) which was highly entertaining and featured one of the best sounds I have ever heard for a support band. Highlight of their set was "My Baby's Got A Gun" featuring pure raw vocals (no microphones) of singer and guitarist Ruben Block. The superb sound continued for Maryland's Clutch who went down well with the audience in attendance. Clutch are another band that I was unfamiliar with, their sound reminding me of a cross between 70's Sabbath and Black Stone Cherry. I could not tell you any of the song titles that they played, however, their set was for the most part quite enjoyable.
As the lights went down the Thin Lizzy logo was spotlighted over the walls and ceiling of the three-quarters full Sheffield City Hall (the upper circle being completely empty). Despite the fact that it was not a full house the atmosphere was cracking throughout the whole evening. The curtains dropped to reveal a full stage with a large illuminated Thin Lizzy logo and ramps to either side of the drums. The unbelievable full sound enjoyed by both support bands continued for the rest of the evening. The sound engineer deserved a bonus and should be sought after with reverence by any discerning rock band!
The band launched into their hour and forty-five minute long set with an opening salvo of "Are You Ready" and "Jailbreak". It was clear from the off-set that this was the real deal and not simply a few old band members cashing in as a tribute band. "Bad Reputation" kept up the heavy start with old stalwart Scott Gorham trading guitar licks with the multi-talented, new boy, Damon Johnson.
The pace dropped slightly with the classic "Don't Believe A Word" introduced by bassist Marco Meendoza with frontman Ricky Warwick ably handling the lead vocals. Ricky has his own style but you can still hear the legendary Phil in his delivery "Killer On The Loose" followed with "Dancing In The Moonlight" getting a particularly strong crowd reaction.
"Massacre" from 1976's "Johnny The Fox" was very heavy and my least favourite song of the evening but the next three certainly got the band back on the right tracks again. Starting with one of my favourite Lizzy tracks "Angel Of Death" which featured some excellent keyboard work from Dare's Darren Wharton who got to share lead vocals on the classic ballad "Still In Love With You".
"Whiskey In The Jar" was another crowd favourite and had us all singing "Whack for my daddy-o" at full voice. A rousing reception was given to original drummer Brian Downey who performed a brief drum solo during "Sha La La" from Lizzy's 1974 album "Nightlife".
"Suicide" was intense before the main set was closed with "Waiting For An Alibi", "Cowboy Song" and arguably the most famous Thin Lizzy track "The Boys Are Back In Town".
The band briefly left the stage before returning for a well deserved encore. The Bob Seger cover and sing-a-long "Rosalie" was sandwiched between the Celtic classics "Emerald" and "Black Rose". Thin Lizzy left the stage to a standing ovation from the 1,500 strong crowd and promised to return. Ricky Warwick thanked the audience for coming out and supporting the band in these times of recession; I was fortunate to win my ticket but wanted to pay the band back with a positive review which was very easy based on tonight's performance.

< Go back to Immigration Daily
Dear Editor:
Your comments pointing out the progressive steps being taken by Iowa regarding the recruitment of immigrants are quite interesting. Your observation that "[T]he bureaucratic complexities of exempting the state from the quotas or per-country limits on immigration are almost impossible to imagine" is an overstatement. I am an immigration attorney with a business and corporate immigration law practice in Northern New Jersey. One particular area of our practice is obtaining waivers for Foreign Medical Graduates ("FMG") on J-1 visas who are subject to Section 212(e) of the INA. Over the past decade we have seen a dramatic transformation in the legislation in this area of the immigration practice to the point where it now appears to be the case that if an FMG is willing to serve for 5 years in a Health Shortage Professional Area ("HPSA") or a Medically Underserved Area ("MUA"), then the INS may be willing to grant a waiver of the two year home residency requirement and grant the FMG a green card. Perhaps the Iowans can come up with a national template that could be designated as the "State 2000 program" (analogous to the CONRAD State 20 Program) and offer two thousand visas on an annual basis to "essential workers" (or others) who agree to work for a designated period of time, in a designated area of the State, in a State designated occupation. Is such a program so hard to imagine? This information is offered merely as an observation and does not necessarily represent the position/opinion of the firm.

IMG has posted a preview by Michael Phillips of Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, the upcoming real-time strategy game from Aspyr Media based on the Age of Empires II engine.
Here's an excerpt:
First, let's just get this out of the way right now
Anything Star Wars, save Jar-Jar Binks and Ani "yippee" Skywalker is cool. Therefore, this game IS highly cool. Unit variety is absolutely astounding. There are Storm Troopers, Rebel Soldiers, Bowcaster toting Wookees, X-Wings, TIE-Bombers, Bounty Hunters, Battle Droids, Sith Lords, Gungan Catapults; this game has just about every staple the Star Wars universe has to offer. In Age of Empires II for example, most of the units from each civilization, from archers to knights look exactly the same. That is certainly not the case when playing Galactic Battlegrounds. Each civilization has a unique look and combat style.

9 Simple Ways to Make Your Home Look Bigger
By FOX News Magazine
Feel like the walls are closing in on you? No need to cry in a corner its probably cluttered with furniture anyway.
Lack of space is one of the most common issues people face when it comes to their homes, and while investing in a bigger space seems like a simple solution, not everyone has the funds to make it possible. Interior designers, too, are all too familiar with this common woe among clients.
Luxury is not just about the silkiest fabrics, the richest carpets, or the finest woods its really all about space, says Debbie Wiener of My Designing Solutions. We all want bigger yards, homes and offices, but most of us wont get it, which is why luxury is space.
Fortunately, working with your existing space is not only possible, but preferable among interior designers, especially if youre looking to give your home a much-needed makeover without emptying out your wallet. And there are several tricks of the trade anyone can master with ease.

Feeling Moody? 10 Room Colors That Might Influence Your Emotions
By FOX News Magazine
Painting your bedroom fiery red to welcome the cheery holiday season may sound like a festive idea, but it could possibly put a damper on your sleep.
Many experts believe that the shades you use for your home can also impact your well-being, as well as the well-beings of those within your space.
Room color, particularly in your home, can dramatically affect moods, feelings and emotions, explains psychiatrist Dr. Julia Shugar of Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in New York. When it comes to decorating, it is important to choose wisely. Of course, perceptions of color are somewhat subjective. Your feelings about color are often deeply personal and rooted in your own experience or culture.
While everyone has their own personal takes on color, finding the right shade for your home means more than just picking up any bucket of paint that looks appealing. Experts say its just as important to truly analyze how a color makes you feel, rather than sticking to design trends.
Emotional responses to color depend on their saturation and brightness, while cultures have association to particular hues, explains Dr. Sally Augustin, a fellow at the American Psychological Association. Colors that are less saturated and relatively bright, such as sage green, are relaxing to look at. Meanwhile, colors that are saturated and not very bright, like a rich sapphire blue, are energizing to look at.
Think that red still looks good? Dont pick up the roller quite yet. Several experts weigh in on which colors can possibly bring out the best (or worst) in you and your home:
Ever wondered why this crimson hue is popular in restaurants? According to Debbie Wiener of My Designing Solutions, red easily stimulates ones energy, promoting liveliness, which is exactly what you need when mingling with friends over dinner or even making a quick decision over which menu dish sparks your appetite. Red is happy and stimulating, says Wiener. Thats why so many restaurants choose it. Its tough to be a wallflower in a red room. Its been suggested that looking at the color red can increase ones pulse, heart rate and blood pressure, which is why it may not be the best paint color for a bedroom. Red generally raises energy and excitement, which makes it a good choice for a dining room or living room, where people tend to gather, states psychologist Nicole Avena.

Turkey: Pro-Kurdish daily on trial
5 hours ago
Instead of introducing examples of this [anti-Zionist] intelligentsia, Stock is happy to instead toss out generalizations such as:This whole imbroglio only serves to highlight the Egyptian literati's generally hateful and hidebound views of Israel, which are often more virulent than those of the Egyptian public at large.
Examples ?
One example, please ?
I don't doubt that examples galore could be dug up (after all, examples of every opinion under the sun are readily found) -- but, hey, how about digging up at least one to appease me? (And surely it's telling that he doesn't: is there any name he could come up with that any of us would recognize -- Gamal al-Ghitani? Sonallah Ibrahim? [the writers I'd consider among the cream of Egyptian literati and intelligentsia] even Alaa al-Aswany ? Somehow I suspect these guys haven't been spouting "hateful and hidebound views" -- so who has? By which I mean: who has who can in any way be taken seriously, as al-Ghitani and Ibrahim and even al-Aswany can.)
If I Were Another Mahmoud Darwish, trans. from the Arabic by Fady Joudah. Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $26 (240p) ISBN 978-0-374-17429-3PW Reviews 17 Aug 2009
This second volume by the late, great Palestinian poet Darwish (1941–2008) to be translated by Palestinian-American doctor/poet Joudah comprises four nonconsecutive books of longer poems spanning 1990 to 2005. These works follow Darwish's poetic development from a historically focused middle period to the devastatingly personal lyric-epic of his late style. Formally varied—Rubaiyats alternate with sprawling free-form poems, in which prose paragraphs meet both long and short verse lines—Darwish's Sufi-inspired poetry probes, admires, describes, longs for and questions. His subjects are often broad: the inheritance and disinheritance of lands, languages and histories. Sometimes, though, he turns to concrete need, confessing, for example, in "Mural," his book-length poem about a brush with death: "I want to walk to the bathroom/ on my own." But Darwish's poems are at their most singular and powerful when he collapses the boundaries between great and small concerns, as when he articulates, "Wars teach us to love detail: the shape of our door keys,/ how to comb our wheat with eyelashes and walk lightly on our land." The stakes of this work—for Darwish and for his readers—are clear: "O my language,/ help me to adapt and embrace the universe." (Nov.)
3.5. The Turban and the Hat ends with the image of Dr Shukri waking up at 5 am to prepare for his return to the homeland -- only to find that copy of the conference programme on which he had written his address for Celine to have on the floor outside the door to his room.
3.5.1. "I picked it up to find a line in pencil beneath my address... 'My response is precisely that you are a naive, backward human being.' I put the programme in my handbag and proceeded to the lift with heavy steps."
4. An Arab novel about the Egyptian Campaign cannot go beyond that image.
like a shepherd watching over a flock of wayward, reckless versions of himself. He gives these selves free rein to act out their crises and victories, and they in turn reveal to him various shades of the glory and folly of human nature. Their flaws recounted and noted, he shepherds them home at the end of the day and closes the stable door behind him.
rich mix of concrete detail and metaphorical flight that the book achieves its undoubtedly haunting effect. The tale is told with remarkable simplicity and in a tone that can be universally understood, yet its texture and details, in some case quite unfathomably, remains Arabic, and rooted specifically in the Palestinian earth. One doubts whether anything similar exists in the dishearteningly burgeoning literature of political exile, asylum, and flight.Barghouti fans can follow news of his publications and events by friending him on Facebook.
In a characteristically outlandish twist, the Sheikhs have now decided to set their mores on sexuality down in stone by commissioning a gargantuan eunuch—which is to lord over Dubai's Zabeel Park, fifty hectares smack in the middle of what is now some of the world's most valuable real estate. At over one hundred and fifty feet, the statue of Al-Hakawati "the storyteller" would relegate Rhodes' Colossus to an also-ran.
in what is arguably a ploy by Abu Dhabi's reigning Nahyan clan to style themselves after the Medicis and establish their city as the artistic counterweight to Dubai's financial hub. The audiovisual jewel in their tiara is "The Prince of Poets"—a contest held at the Al Raha Beach Theatre on the outskirts of the island emirate. Run along the lines of "American Idol," thousands of applications are processed until a select thirty-five poets compete in the broadcasts which unfold over the course of ten weeks.As for the Medicis, this patronage of art has inspired some heated exchanges in Arab literary community and blogosphere, and casts a revealing light on the sociocultural makeup of the Emirates.
Take the first season when there were claims that the judges, hoping to foster a sense of national pride, awarded first prize to the Emarati Maatouk, while the far more popular Palestinian Barghouti came in fifth. Barghouti, whose father, Mourid is the author of I Saw Ramallah, could no doubt take solace in the not inconsiderable cheque ($27,000) and in that he walked away with that much sought-after accolade, the modern poet's wreath, which he was accorded when his poem "Jerusalem" was immortalized with a cell-phone ring-tone. Nevertheless, the mini-scandal drew attention to the deep seated divisions between local and foreign Arabs. Palestinians and other Arabs constitute a second tier to privileged Emaratis.
the deep-seated ambivalence the Arab world displays when the 'word' intermingles with Islam's current conservatism. Poetry is often dubbed sihr halal, "legal magic," which, aside from the peculiar phrasing—one that would be unthinkable in other contexts as the average Arab has an understanding of magic not too dissimilar from that of Salem's witch-hunters circa1692—points to a marked difference between East and West.Yet
Mahmoud Darwish, Nizar Qabbani and Adonis, that perennial Nobel contender, were and have been known to fill stadiums with record audiences.What Naffis doesn't add is that all three poets have also been thorns in the side of governments as well as popular figures. When state-sanctioned, can poetry continue to be the Arab world's rock and roll?
Egyptians who are neither rich nor middle class, but somewhere in the vast space beneath, what we alternately call lower-middle class, lower class, underclass, the marginalized, or the horrid "simple folk" (البسطاء).But, as she goes on to elucidate, Fadl has made his career out of peddling stereotypes of these ordinary Egyptians in films and TV -- and he does so in many of the essays. As Baheyya avers, this seems a shame because -- from her account, at least -- the book appears to open up a view of Egypt's proletariat (to use a word coined by another great essayist), at once traditional and modernising, that translations of Alaa al-Aswany's novels have only begun to broach for non-Arabic readers.
Autobiography is my least favourite literary genre, too easily prone to posturing and self-exoneration, or else heavy woe-is-me tales about the author's suffering at the hands of a cruel world. Life is already too full of braggarts and whiners to have to be subjected to them in booksbut her reviews suggest that -- above and beyond the pitiful rate of fiction in translation (see ThreePercenter Chad Post's most recent round-up and sharp analysis of US stats at Publishing Perspectives -- we're missing out if memoirs, essays and autobiographies aren't crossing languages and cultures as well.

Are video games good or bad for your children?
Parents frown upon video games because they can waste your time. Education experts think that video games also corrupt the brain, and playing violent video games is easily blamed by the media when it comes to violent/antisocial behavior from children.
However, a lot of scientists and psychologists have discovered that video games have many benefits – one of them is making children smarter. Video games, when you look at it, can offer high-level thinking skills that children need in the future.
Just how good and bad are video games for your children? Here's what psychologists and other researchers have to say:
The positive effects of video games
Video games provide problem-solving skills and creativity
There are games like Legend of Zelda that provide children the opportunity to be creative problem-solvers. Link, the game's main character, searches, navigates, plans, and tries different approaches to advance through the game. Some recent games like Bakugan: Defenders of the Core also involve planning and problem-solving opportunities.
Minecraft, a very popular open-world game that looks like something made out of Lego, makes do with Modding or the process which players customize their character's appearance. It also allows them to develop new levels or worlds. Modding gives players a deeper understanding of how the game is structured and thus, it gives children an avenue for better creative self-expression.
Video games can be historical and cultural in nature
You have certain games that are centered on real-life historical events, like Age of Empires, Civilization, and Mythology. These games can spark a child's interest in world history, geography, economics, ancient cultures and international relationships. To quote something from researchers David Shaffer and James Gee:
"When children have parents who help turn Age of Mythology into an island of expertise, tying it to books, Internet sites, museums, and media about mythology, cultures and geography, the children pick up a wide range of complex language, content and connections that serve as preparation for future learning of a highly complex and deep sort."
These games also allow children to design and exchange custom maps and other content, developing their creative and technical skills.
Video games help kids make friends
Contrary to what most people think, video games can encourage children to make friends as it is an avenue for social activity. Video games can create a common ground for your children to make friends and allow kids to develop his or her own peer circle at an early age – whether it's in the same area or online. One research showed that young boys said games were a frequent focus of their conversation among peers.
One research also showed that children with mild learning disabilities were likely to choose "making new friends" as a reason they play video games.
Video games appreciate and share the joy of competition
It's quite normal and healthy for children, especially boys, to compete with their peers to lobby for status and recognition. Surveys and focus group studies with young teens show that the most popular reason for playing video games was, "I like to compete with other people and win" – again, especially for boys. Video games are a safe haven to express competitive urges and give children who aren't good at sports to excel at something else.
Video games enhance children's leadership capabilities
When children play in groups, they take turns leading and following, depending on who has the skills needed for that game. Studies by Nick Yee of the Palo Alto Research Center show that teens who played group games online felt they gained leadership skills like persuasion, mediation, and motivation. Online multiplayer games also offer children and teens a chance to participate in a mixed-age group.
Video Games motivates children to teach
In one study, one-third of children said they played video games in part because they liked to teach others to play. One boy's dad revealed during the research that most of the interactions his son has had with his buddies is about solving situations within a game. It's all about how you go from point A to point B, collect certain things, and combine the different elements of the game to succeed.
The negative effects of video games on child development
Video games can promote violent behavior
Video games can also have a negative effect on a child's development, centering on violence, anti-social tendencies and behaviors, and increased aggressive thoughts and feelings. In a study done by Anderson & Bushman, those who watch a lot of simulated violence, like those in video games, can become immune to it and are more inclined to act violently themselves.
The APA or American Psychological Association also concluded that there's consistent correlation between violent game use and aggression, but finds insufficient evidence to link violent video play to criminal violence. One researcher named Henry Jenkins from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology pointed out games like Mortal Kombat, Doom, Grand Theft Auto, and Death Race and their popularity coincide with the decreased rate of juvenile crime. He concludes that teenage players are able to leave the emotional effects of the game behind when the game is over. There are cases of violent teenagers who commit violent crimes and spend great amounts of time playing video games, like those involved in the Columbine and Newport shootings.
The effects of video game violence in children can be worsened by the game's interactive nature. Most games reward children for being more violent and thus the act of violence is done repeatedly. The child is in control of the violence, like shooting, kicking, stabbing, punching, and kicking. This active participation, combined with repetition and rewards, are effective tools for learning behaviors.
Video games promote social isolation or anti-social behavior
Too much time playing video games can make children socially isolated and he or she may spend less time doing other activities like doing homework, reading, sports, and even interaction with the family. A study done by the researchers at the North Carolina State University, New York, and University of Ontario Institute of Technology shows that gamers don't replace their offline social lives with online game playing, but rather expands them. Amongst gamers, being a loner is not the norm.
Video games can affect academic achievement
Studies show that the more time a child spends playing video games, the poorer his or her performance in school. One study done by Argosy University's Minnesota School on Professional Psychology found that video game addicts spend a lot of time arguing with their teachers, fighting with their friends, and score lower grades than others who spend less time playing video games. There are other studies that pointed out that there are those that skip doing homework to play video games and students even admitted that their video game habits are affecting their performance in school.
What can be done to prevent these negative effects?
Be involved
As parents, it's a good idea to be involved in your children's playing habits. Though you don't necessarily have to play with them, you just need to be aware of what's happening every time they log on.Video games can also open your child up to the many virtual dangers found online, like cyberbullying and sexual predation. Always ask your children what they are doing from time to time and monitor their interactions online.
Establish boundaries
Parents need to establish boundaries for children. Otherwise, they can turn playing video games into a very bad habit. Never allow your child to spend hours and hours playing video games, especially if they're still very young.
I'd like to believe that children are sponges and that it's easy for them to absorb what they observe around them. Video games, as fun and educational as they are, can be both beneficial and detrimental to your child's development. With the latest advancement in gaming consoles, it's going to be difficult to lead your children away from ever starting the habit of playing. The next best thing that a parent can do is to be proactive in their children's activities.

Exercise: What do you sell when copies are free?
Imagine that you run a business that makes things: hosepipes, spectacles, car tyres, roof tiles, toys, and so on – pick one, and picture the business in your mind. It's likely that your business sells a product. That product was once a prototype, and now you sell copies of it over and over again.
Now, imagine your business in a world where copies of anything manufactured, anything at all, are essentially free for anyone to make for themselves: TVs, cars, clothes, furniture, toys, building materials – anything manufactured. Millions of designs for these things are available online for people to download – some paid, some pirated. A user just has to download a design and print the item for themselves on a 3D printer. If they use a free design, their only cost is electricity and cheap, raw plasma.
If you think I'm fantasizing about a galaxy far away, check out Makerbot Industries, where you can buy yourself a 3D printer for $900. Or Shapeways, a company in the Netherlands that will 3D-print your product for you – they sell 3D-printed lampshades, jewellery, machine parts, crockery, and more – in plastic, sandstone or metal. And Bespoke Prosthetics will print you an artifical limb at a tenth of the cost of a conventionally manufactured one.
These 3D printers get cheaper and more sophisticated all the time, so that world is coming. If it arrived tomorrow, how would your business make money? What would you sell?
Remember, you can't charge for printing or delivering physical objects, because anyone can "print" their own in their home.
In groups of two or three, take five minutes to think of how your business is going to stay afloat. What are you going to sell? Think carefully: your business idea must not rely in any way on selling or controlling the act of making a copy of something. Copies are free.
Copying is at the heart of anything digital: when information moves from one place to another, it replicates. The Internet itself is made of copies and copies of copies, all of them essentially zero-cost, bar the raw materials of cables, terminals, bandwidth and power. As publishers look to adjust their business models to cater for a digital world, they have to find business models that don't rely on controlling copies of their work.
And yet it's still hard to think of business models, especially in manufacturing, that don't control the distribution of copies, where each copy is sold for a unit price or a subscription.
Kevin Kelly has written an important piece on this. He lists eight things you can charge money for in such a world:
- Immediacy: Getting something without delay, like going to opening night at the movies, or getting Time magazine the moment it leaves the editor's desk. When a person buys a song for a dollar from iTunes that they could get elsewhere for free or a fraction of that cost, what are they actually paying for? Are they really paying for the copy of the song? No, they're paying for the convenience of finding and buying it quickly and easily.
- Personalization: Say, a concert recording "tweaked to sound perfect in your particular living room … Aspirin is free, but aspirin tailored to your DNA is very expensive. … You can't copy the personalization that a relationship represents."
- Interpretation: Paying to know what something *means*. As Kelly says, "soon pharmaceutical companies will PAY you to get your genes sequenced. So the copy of your sequence will be free, but the interpretation of what it means, what you can do about it, and how to use it … will be expensive."
- Authenticity: People will pay to know they can trust what they're buying. Think of software, original recordings, lithographs.
- Accessibility: People will pay to let others store and organise their stuff, even when the stuff itself is free.
- Embodiment: There are many ways to recast and embody digital information in ways we can't do at home. Kelly wonders, "hi-res on a huge screen? Maybe in 3D? … bright white cottony paper, bound in leather. … Laser projection, holographic display, the holodeck itself! And nothing gets embodied as much as music in a live performance, with real bodies."
- Patronage: Kelly puts it simply: "audiences WANT to pay creators. Fans like to reward artists, musicians, authors and the like with the tokens of their appreciation, because it allows them to connect. But they will only pay if it is very easy to do, a reasonable amount, and they feel certain the money will directly benefit the creators."
- Findability: As there is more and more stuff availabel to us, finding what's worth spending time on becomes difficult. People will pay to be shown what's good, and businesses will pay for their products to be found.
He calls these 'generatives':
A generative value is a quality or attribute that must be generated, grown, cultivated, nurtured. A generative thing can not be copied, cloned, faked, replicated, counterfeited, or reproduced. It is generated uniquely, in place, over time. In the digital arena, generative qualities add value to free copies, and therefore are something that can be sold.
By now you've realised, of course, that book publishing has been up against cheap home and office printing and photocopying for years – 3D printing is really no revolution here. We've had a long, long time to figure out what to sell when selling printed copies of books is no longer a viable business model. It may be that publishers and retailers will keep selling copies of books one by one for many years. But it is going to get harder. And great screen technology from companies like E-Ink, Qualcomm, and Pixel Qi are only going to make it harder still. Publishing companies that will thrive are building on their generatives now.

you are just being jealous but it is understandable.
relationships are founded on trust and this should be viewed as a major test of that trust. let her know you are not happy that she didn't give you the full details of the visit and let her know that, while the situation makes you uncomfortable, you have no choice but to let her do what she wants. If, after this weekend, she is still not with the ex, you have proven yourself to be one hell of a guy and the relationship should blossom from there. If she winds up back with the ex, so be it. It will hurt but you will have avoided the sneaking around and the future pain and anguish and that pain and anguish would probably have been far worse as your relationship might have been at a much higher level.
There's also the possibility that she views your jealousy and lack of trust in a horrible light and, even though this "visit" from the ex was nothing, you have now blown it.
man up and let her do her thing.

Actually, her ex is not the father of her kids. She has been separated from her husband for 2 years waiting for her divorce to go through. Her kids were at their grandparents for the weekend when this happened.

So you mean she has kids and instead of spending her tax money on her kids or saving it to benefit them, she gives it to some boyfriend? Also, not only is she spending time with her ex and lying about it, but she is leaving her kids with family members to do it which tells me that they may be doing some adult things.
By the way, how often does she leave her children w/family members in order to go out? I don't know man, sounds like a bad situation to me. I would walk away, she has way too much baggage. I am a single mom of 2 myself but this girl seems very irresponsible.

tell her to take care of her kids, dont know how but leave her and tell her its because shes a bad girlfriend and a bad mother. I dont like mothers who prioritizes her social life over her children and leaving kids at family members = is like leaving them with a catholic priest.

Potomac State College Wins Diversity for Equity Grant
Ed Brown, DMA, who serves as Potomac State College of WVU's student involvement and activities coordinator, looks over a banner promoting an initiative he'll be starting next semester called Diversity Ambassadors. The program is funded through a Diversity for Equity grant, Dr. Brown and William Letrent, Dean of Student Life, wrote and won from the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission and the West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education.
Potomac State College of West Virginia University recently received approval for a Diversity for Equity grant proposal that was submitted to the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission and the West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education. The grant proposal was written collaboratively by William Letrent, dean of Student Life and Edward Brown, D.M.A., student involvement and activities coordinator. The grant is funded for $5,500.
"This presents a wonderful opportunity to our students because Potomac State has a fairly diverse population as compared to other colleges and universities across the state," said Dean Letrent.
Grant funding will be used to sponsor programs aimed at promoting mutual understanding and respect amongst individuals, to help eliminate all forms of discrimination and to enhance fairness and equity in the distribution of opportunities.
The first initiative funded by the grant will be the formation of Diversity Ambassadors. "This is where we'll match students volunteering to be cohorts with one another matching individuals up with different ethnicity but with similar interests. We'll organize various events and opportunities for these students to spend time together and to get to know one another. The goal is to foster inclusion and to eliminate stereotypes of different groups," explained Dr. Brown. "I'm hoping individuals will learn what they have in common and that lasting friendships will be made."

TESLIN, YUKON--(Marketwired - March 31, 2017) - Rural and northern communities have unique infrastructure needs. Remote locations, coupled with challenges in accessing quality digital connectivity and sources of energy and supplies, mean targeted investments are required to build strong communities.
The Honourable Larry Bagnell, Member of Parliament for Yukon, on behalf of the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, the Honourable John Streicker, Minister of Community Services, Government of Yukon and Nha Shade Heni (Chief) Richard Sidney of the Teslin Tlingit Council announced funding today of $215,000 through the federal Gas Tax Fund to purchase a 28-seat passenger bus for the Teslin Tlingit Council.
This new bus will have an accessibility ramp, accommodate two wheelchairs and will replace the current aging bus. In June, Teslin Tlingit Council citizens, in particular elders and students, will enjoy an improved ride to events, appointments and various functions in Teslin and other communities.
The bus will help reduce the number of vehicles on the road and decrease air pollution. This will protect the sensitive northern environment, as many of the trips will be to Whitehorse, located 180 km north of Teslin.
"The Government of Canada recognizes the importance of investing in infrastructure that supports cohesive and vibrant communities. Along with our territorial partners, we are proud to support projects like the Teslin Tlingit Council passenger bus that will provide those living and working in Yukon with greater opportunities and a better quality of life."
The Honourable Larry Bagnell, Member of Parliament for Yukon, on behalf of the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities
"In Yukon, the Gas Tax Fund is helping First Nations and municipalities build and enhance infrastructure that addresses their local needs. Access to this predictable funding supports effective community planning and investment in projects that support community development in the territory."
The Honourable John Streicker, Minister of Community Services, Government of Yukon
"The Teslin Tlingit Council prides itself on the services it offers its Citizens. It is essential that we have safe transportation for our Elders and our youth. This means of transportation is not only an efficient use of our resources but also reduces our carbon footprint."
Nha Shade Heni (Chief) Richard Sidney of the Teslin Tlingit Council

Good morning,
Today I'd like to show you the composition of a Levibreton KG 4000 PLUS line for polishing granite slabs.
The line starts with a slab automatic loader. This video shows how the loader mod. CAL/S/2000 lifts the slab from the A-frame and takes it to the conveyor at the fore end of the polishing machine.
If there's not much room available or the slabs to be polished are arranged in the "diamond-match" pattern, the automatic loader mod. JOT/S/25/30 may be used instead.
The slab profile and thickness are sensed at the forepart of the Levibreton KG 4000 PLUS polisher.
A reader with photoelectric barrier senses the slab shape with a resolution of 10x10 mm, while a sonar detector registers their thickness.
Once they are waxed, slabs pass under the IMAGEPLUS, a system taking high-resolution photos (which are then filed and coded) of natural and engineered stone slabs, labelling them as well.
Breton IMAGEPLUS features an advanced technology for digitizing images through a linear, high-resolution, industrial camera, and a LED light panel, which are both specially designed to render the true colours of the material.
Before the automatic offloader, Breton unit mod. APP 22/35 applies points or streaks of thermoplastic polymer (whose number, pitch and shape can be pre-set at will) on the polished surface of the slabs in order to protect them when they are stored and/or handled arranged in a pile.
This system offers an alternative to the traditional polyethylene film, with the advantage of removing any possible waste disposal problem and cost.
At the end of the line, the automatic offloader mod. mod. JOT/S/25/30 lifts the slab, placing it on the A-frame.
Thanks to ZUCCHI GRANITE for putting this material at our disposal.

Steve Kaplan was watching "Superbad" and munching on popcorn when he bit into an unpopped kernel and broke a tooth. He sued the theatre owner for his dental bills.First mistake: Watching a movie that received uniformly awful reviews, and that`s titled "Superbad". Second mistake: Buying overpriced movie theatre popcorn that`s saturated with a yellow substance that resembles industrial waste more than it does butter. Third mistake: Scavenging the bottom of the barrel for the last few kernels of popcorn. Almost all of the unpopped kernels fall to the bottom, if the fool wasn`t munching on the dregs he wouldn`t have damaged his tooth. Fourth mistake: Filing a frivolous lawsuit. Listen idiot, sh** happens. "Kaplan sued the theater to recover $1,250 for dental repairs. But Manhattan Civil Court Judge Matthew Cooper ruled that Kaplan could not reasonably expect every kernel to be popped."
Associated Press
Every popcorn kernel doesn`t pop, every lottery ticket isn`t a winner, and every lady doesn`t fall for our clever pickup line.
Moral of the story: Take the good with the bad. Don`t sweat the small stuff.
