As a teacher (and also father) Paul finds great joy in sharing his experience and insight with the next generation of creative musicians. For many years, he has taught drummers and percussionists of all ages and levels in academic settings as well as privately. He has also taught workshops and masterclasses at several renowned venues and music conservatories while touring with bands throughout Europe (Royal Academy of Music, London UK; Hull University, Hull UK; Centre des Musiques Didier Lockwood, Paris FR).
Playing music has always been a part of Paul's life. Growing up in a family of musicians, he started playing cello at age 6 and he's been playing drums since age 8. After an extensive classical tutelage at the Music Conservatory in Esch/Alzette (Luxembourg) and at various music workshops throughout the world, he completed both undergraduate and graduate studies at Manhattan School of Music, learning from the likes of John Riley, David Liebman, Samir Chatterjee & Michael Abene.
Paul has since been able to make a name for himself among the local and international music industry as an accomplished drummer and forward-thinking composer. He has performed at several international festivals (North Sea Jazz Festival) and at some of the world's most prestigious jazz clubs in the US and overseas. Paul has appeared alongside such emerging stars as David Binney, Linda Oh, Ambrose Akinmusire, Will Vinson, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Lage Lund, Mike Moreno and Tim Collins.
*** Lesson Details ***
Whether my students are young or old, taking lessons as a hobby or wish to pursue a career in music, I tailor my lessons to meet each individual student's needs and expectations.
I have a lot of fun teaching and I want you or your child to have fun during our lessons.
My students learn music in the most natural and intuitive way possible. I try to build on what the student already likes, listens to and has a passion for. I encourage students to bring their favorite songs and we usually end up working with those. I also like using songs by The Beatles as they provide a perfect (fun and familiar) platform to learn many different aspects of drumming and musical performance.
In addition to being a drummer and percussionist, I have a strong background in music theory and I want to make sure my students not only know how to play their instrument, but also become familiar with reading and writing music.
After a few months in the studio, you or your child can expect to have a better understanding of music and have acquired the basic tools and techniques which will allow you to play your favorite pieces of music.

Paul is great teacher. My 7 year old son and I have been taking lessons with Paul for several months and I'm very please with the progress that we have both made. Paul has done a great job at tailoring my son's and my lessons to reflect the difference in age, skill, and musical interests. He has taught us fundamentals and technique but has also incorporated songs into the lessons, which is helping us build skill, while making it more fun. I would recommend him both for kids and adults. He has a great personality and is very patient, responsible, and puntual.+ Read More
I have little musical training and absolutely no experience playing the drums but thought it would be a fun thing to do in my free time. I'm 31 and did not have high expectations that I would be able to handle even basic 3-limbed coordination. After sitting down with Paul once, it was a happy revelation to find out that I was actually capable of learning. He is patient & observant. For a beginner like me, he does a good job of structuring incremental exercises, while simultaneously finding songs at my level, so I could learn to play a song from beginning to end after only a few lessons. He's good at keeping me on track and encouraging me to practice. I feel lucky that my first experience learning the drums has been with such a great teacher!+ Read More
Paul is an awesome teacher! I began taking drum lessons on a whim and had 0 experience/ former knowledge about drumming. He has taught me so much in very little time and made it extremely dynamic and fun. I look forward to my lessons each week because I always feel accomplished at the end. I highly recommend him as a teacher!+ Read More
He's an unbelievable teacher!
Paul is a teacher kids and parents would beg for! He's patient, kind, funny and amazing with my son. My child is not easy to calm, let alone teach, but Paul has this kind and fun personality that connects well with my son. When its time to learn they get down to business but when my son needs a break from the concentration, Paul allows him to break loose a bit and even joins in on the fun! I've never been more happy with a teacher before!!
Thank you Paul!! Your awesome!!!
Minky and Meir
Paul is awesome!
I started taking lessons with Paul when I was 14 to work on songs I was playing with a couple of friends at school. Paul teaches me so much and he's very organized. We have a lot of fun during lessons. He's very passionate about music and he knows how to convey his love for drumming.
He's wonderful
My son has been studying drums with Paul for about a year now and Paul has been so wonderful. My son loves his lessons and is crazy about the drums.

SEC Misreads The Dodd-Frank Act
Commenting on the SEC's short-lived resource extraction rule, Professor Stephen Bainbridge recently posted: Can't anybody at the SEC do basic cost benefit analysis? I hesitate to enter into a wortwechsel with Professor Bainbridge, but I disagree. The SEC's error was much worse than simply flubbing a cost-benefit analysis – it fundamentally misread the law.
The case in question is American Petroleum Institute v. Securities & Exchange Comm'n, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 92280 (July 2, 2013). The procedural posture was the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment. Judge John D. Bates wrote that under the Administrative Procedure Act, a court must "hold unlawful and set aside agency action, findings, and conclusions" that are:
- "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law," 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A),
- in excess of statutory authority, 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(C), or
- "without observance of procedure required by law," 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(D).
Here's where Judge Bates' analysis became interesting. Since periodic and other reports filed with the SEC are now instantly available on EDGAR, I hadn't given much thought to whether all Exchange Act reports filed with the SEC are "public". Here is what Judge Bates had to say:
Viewing the Exchange Act as a whole further crystallizes that "report," as used throughout the Act, contains no unstated (yet clear) public filing requirement. The Exchange Act expressly addresses the content and form of "[r]eports by [an] issuer of security" without saying anything about public access. See 15 U.S.C. § 78m(a), (b). Furthermore, other provisions of the Act use "report" to refer to documents filed with the Commission alone.
Another interesting aspect of Judge Bates' opinion was his conclusion that the SEC's failure to grant requested exemptions was "arbitrary and capricious". Here, the problem wasn't a flawed cost-benefit analysis but the SEC's willingness to sacrifice practicality for the purposes of the statute.

I had a nagging and persistent head wind all day. I'm sure it was this annoying in the east coast but the prairie wind certainly feels stronger and more constant. There was no fighting it, I just had to gear down and be patient because it was going to be a long, slow ride.
On a positive note, I'm looking forward to a milestone tomorrow; sometime in the morning I'll hit 5000km for the trip!

Christmas Eve morning we decorated cookies
Christmas morning, Maddox and I were the first up. Maddox got his Santa present.
And the opening frenzy began.
Even Addie found a present she liked.
Then we went outside and let Maddox play on his new 4-wheeler. =)
Saturday I went and got new shoes. They are beautiful. =) They are a more minimalist style and I LOVED them. So of course I had to go for a run on Sunday. They really helped with my calf soreness.

The case is Drimal v. Makol, decided on May 15. Law enforcement tapped plaintiff's phone to listen in on her husband's conversations, as he was the subject of a white-collar fraud inquiry. Here's the problem: some wiretapping is legal if the police have probable cause. But the police must minimize the nature of the wiretapping to ensure they are not listening in on calls unrelated to the investigation. Looming over this case is the Iqbal pleading standard set forth by the Supreme Court in 2009, which requires parties to plead non-conclusory factual allegations and not simply rely on legal conclusions.
The Court of Appeals hears the case because the district court denied defendants' motion for qualified immunity, and immunity questions can be appealed right away. The Circuit says the district court got it wrong under Iqbal. Plaintiff did not plead that the police failed to properly minimize the wiretapping. The Court of Appeals says:
In assessing the complaint, the district court read the minimization requirement into the plaintiff's allegations that defendants "unlawfully" listened to her calls and required no greater specificity as to the facts alleged. However, a simple allegation that defendants behaved "unlawfully," unsupported by any factual detail, is precisely the type of legal conclusion that a court is not bound to accept as true on a motion to dismiss, and the district court erred in doing so here.If the plaintiff refiles her complaint on remand, the district court must consider qualified immunity. The Court of Appeals provides guidance on this issue. Qualified immunity allows municipal officials to avoid trial if they acted reasonably under the circumstances. The Court notes that "The government argues on behalf of all but one defendant that a per se "two‐minute rule" derived from United States v. Bynum — treating calls monitored for less than two minutes as properly minimized—entitles agents to immunity for interceptions that did not exceed that duration." It adds, "While our reasoning in Bynum, which didn't pertain to any privileged communications, can be read to suggest a presumption that calls less than two minutes long need not be minimized, this is not a fixed rule for every case: whether the two‐minute presumption applies is a fact‐specific determination." In the end, "The two‐minute presumption we applied in Bynum thus does not automatically shield defendants against the failures to minimize calls under two minutes that the putative amended complaint is likely to allege."

Cobalt Squadron was a squadron of R60 T-wing interceptors employed by Airam Clan leader and Imperial collaborator Ilay.
During the Galactic Civil War Ilay began collaborating with Task Force Vengeance Fleet Admiral Wooyou Senn. She was in the Dreadnaught Kala'din to make new negotiations following the Ambush in the Cron Drift. Cobalt Squadron and other T-wing Squadron Crimson Squadron and Y-wings from Tiger Squadron were assigned to provide her ship escort. Rival Clan Leader Tamaron managed to locate her meeting and sent X-wings from Rogue and B-wings from Green Squadron to capture her.
Despite her escorts and TIE Fighters, TIE Interceptors and lastly Assault Gunboats from the Star Destoryer Rage, the Rebels managed to hold off the enemy fighters and disabled the Dreadnaught and provided support for corvette Storm to board and capture Ilay.

A federal lawsuit filed against the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and the city of Ashland alleges both violate the Americans with Disabilities Act because of OSF's failure to replace its brick courtyard with slip-resistant material and other inaccessibility issues.
The complaint was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Medford by Ashland resident Philip Lang, who has long warned OSF and the Ashland City Council about the dangers of the sloping courtyard, which has the potential to be slippery.
Lang is not asking for any money, said his Ashland attorney, Tom Dimitre. "We're just asking that it be fixed."
The city owns most of the land on which OSF sits and leases it to the nonprofit organization.
The council voted in March 2007 to send OSF a letter asking that the courtyard replacement project be complete before the start of the 2008 season.
Lang's complaint lists the slope percentages of 16 locations around the OSF campus, including multiple areas of the brick courtyard surrounding the Green Show stage and various access ramps around the courtyard, inside the Elizabethan Stage, and in front of the New Theatre.
All but one of the locations, which were measured by an independent engineer, Dimitre said, were listed as being over the ADA-required 5 percent slope for wheelchair access paths.
Because OSF is defined as a "public accommodation" by the disabilities act, it is required to meet ADA accessibly specifications in buildings and areas constructed after 1993 or modified after 1992.
The festival planned to start replacing its courtyard in 2007, but decided staff and leadership changes at that time combined with a torn-up courtyard would create too much chaos, OSF officials said then.
They pushed the start time back to fall 2008, but the project never started because of budget problems.
The festival had not yet been served its summons Wednesday and was not prepared to comment on the litigation, said Executive Director Paul Nicholson.
City Attorney David Lohman said the city hadn't been served yet, either. He said he was aware of the lawsuit, but would not comment.
Lang refused to provide a comment over the phone.
In 2009, the courtyard replacement project was estimated to cost more than $500,000 and included excavating the old bricks and underlying soil as well as putting in new base material and bricks that provide better traction.

My name is Slawka Grabowska. I organize Donostia Book Club. We meet every month to discuss previously chosen books or short stories. Check out our FB page! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Donostia-Book-Club/105225566276875?ref=hl
Hector Hugh Munro (Dec 18, 1870 - Nov 14, 1916) was a British author who published under the pen name SAKI. He was a master of the short story often compared to O. Henryand Dorothy Parker.
Munro was born in Akyab Burma, December 18, 1870 and passed away in November 13, 1916 in France.
After being charged by a cow, Munro's mother suffered a miscarriage, never recovered and died in 1872, while the author was only two years old. The Munro children were sent from Burma back to England where they the grandmother and aunts in a strict puritanical household. In his early career, Munro became a police officer in India and was posted to Burma where he contracted malaria. He returned to England in 1895.
When the war broke out, Munro refused a commission joined the British armed forces as a regular trooper. He was killed in action by a German sniper. His last words were reported as, "Put that bloody cigarette out!" In one of those unfortunate twists of fate, the papers that Munro had left behind were destroyed by his sister Ethel, who wrote her own account of their childhood. Homosexuality was a crime in Britain during Munro's lifetime and he kept that part of his life secreted away.
His most famous work is probably The Open Window and is highly recommended reading. His body of work holds many favorites and should be explored in entirety, but I also point the reader to The Toys of Peace where parents from Edwardian England are taught a familiar lesson.

Nah, paying Jeff Probst to blog here on my blog isn't quite in my budget. But he is blogging his thoughts on each episode at ew.com on their PopWatch blog. Since I can't get him here for you (my apologies, but I'm sure you don't expect him here, right?), I can do the next best thing ... spread the word about the blog he is doing and share some excerpts for discussion.
Regarding the Fang tribe, Jeff said:
- It's not the last time they'll make questionable choices either.
- The mismatched tribes continue to haunt Fang. I kept reminding them, "Quit complaining. You did it to yourselves." I like being a pain in the ass.
- They're all afraid to do anything and coming from a place of fear is never a good idea.
- Actions speak louder than words. Marcus and G.C., good for you. Hope that first episode immunity really pays off for you 'cause it may cost you later.
- Randy getting injured was a nice bonus for episode 1. Anytime there is an injury, along with blood or stitches, it's usually good for the show. Randy is going to be a star if he can last long enough. Everything he says cracks me up. I also think most of it is heartfelt. He's mean as an alley cat, and trust me they're mean.
- But nobody can touch Corinne on the Bitch meter. I only feel comfortable saying this because Corinne told it to me in person ... In her favor, Corinne plays the game hard, she knows how important alliances are, and if she forms a good one she could be around for a while.
- Not sure what happened to Michelle's attitude. I had her picked as a favorite in my preshow picks. Yes. A favorite. Something happened and her zeal disappeared.
- At the first tribal council, G.C. reluctantly accepted the leadership position. The question is how long will he last and how effective will he be? I would have never chosen him as my leader. This is the guy that raced ahead to get immunity for himself. It is a sign.
- Over at Kota, Ace is cracking me up. I love him!
- Sugar cries a lot. Just warning you. But I think you're going to like her. Maybe even root for her.
- Marcus is getting a lot of love from everybody. They love his leadership, they love that he's a doctor, and they love how calm he is. He drove us nuts as producers because he was telling everybody to act rationally! What?! What are you doing? Quit ruining Survivor, dude. Marcus is waaaay too good for this game.
- Dan's visit to Exile Island tells you everything you need to know about Dan. He's lovable and extremely well-intentioned but he overthinks everything. He's Hamlet.
- I actually liked Gillian quite a bit during casting. But once the show started, Gillian...you became a little annoying. You simply talked too much without saying anything substantive. You were a cheerleader, and let's face it, cheerleaders are…well, annoying. We hated to see you go, but if you hadn't been voted out, we may have removed you ourselves.

I didn't even mind that the door was locked and I had to load in groceries myself. Simply amazing progress.
This is where he was an hour before:
The ladder on loan is loaned out to the loaner. Sad but true. If that doesn't make sense, don't worry. It is an embarrassing situation that needs to be documented.
I have to believe that we are farther than 50% on the beams now and all the work on the far wall was done in 2-3 hours this week.
Remember--I don't get to live upstairs til the sanding is done so this is very exciting for me. Even though recently someone told me the basement is "homey" I beg to differ. As much as a basement CAN be "homey" that is true, since we live in it. But isn't "homey" how you describe something small and stuffy in a nice way? Much like "quaint" and "rustic".
Oh and I don't always talk like a parrot(Peek a boo! in the video) Old habits die hard. Long live Zen the Orange Winged Amazon!
Back story on the beam for anyone reading that hasn't heard us complain about it:
When we bought the house, the beams, the beautiful solid old growth (pine?) wood beams were....
PAINTED white!!!
A terrible terrible shame that Travis was intent on setting right from the minute we saw them.
As you can see in the pics below compared to above, he has spent 52 hours standing on a ladder stripping, scrapping and sanding. Only 12 more or so to go! It probably took whomever painted them less than an hour to create this great character building event for Travis.
|Travis does not approve this beam

Feb. 3: Look Ahead in Hockeytownby Bill Roose / Detroit Red Wings
|Gustav Nyquist has scored two goals, including a game-winner, this season against the Florida Panthers. (Photo by Getty Images)
DETROIT – Questions continue to swirl around the Red Wings' locker room.
Will Pavel Datsyuk recover in time from a leg injury to captain Russia's national team? Will Gustav Nyquist replace Johan Franzen on Sweden's roster? Can Mike Babcock coach Team Canada to a second straight gold?
While most queries have been about the Sochi Olympics, the bigger issue is the Red Wings' current standing in the Eastern Conference playoff race as they prepare for games against the Canucks, Panthers and Lightning this week.
Will the Red Wings get into the playoffs?
Following Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss at Washington, the Red Wings enter this week with 60 points, a smidge ahead of the Philadelphia Flyers (60 points) for the second – and last – wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
"It doesn't matter who scores if we don't get two points, that's our goal every time we go into a game," said Nyquist, who enjoyed the first four-point performance of his young career on Sunday. "That (two points) is way more important. Didn't come out the way we wanted in the first but we found a way to battle back. That was nice to see."
The next six days leadin up to the Olympic break are critical for the Red Wings in their pursuit of a 23rd straight appearance in the Stanley Cup playoffs. But with Detroit, Columbus, Philadelphia, Carolina, Washington, Ottawa and New Jersey all separated by two points, these six available points could be the difference between the postseason and an early start to the offseason.
This week, the Wings are facing a trio of struggling teams, which, in and of itself can present a trap. Both Vancouver and Florida have dropped four of their last five games, and Tampa Bay has lost three straight. However, against the three opponents, the Red Wings have accumulated a 2-2-3 record this season.
The Wings can't let up on the goals-scoring accelerator and striking first blood will only help their plight. Detroit has averaged 3.33 goals in the last six games, which is up from 2.65 in the previous 46 games. Unfortunately, their goals against has also increased.
But like Babcock has said all season long, the Wings are better off when they focus on things that they can control.
With that, here's a look ahead to this week in Hockeytown:
PLAYER TO WATCH: Livonia native Ryan Kesler has five game-winning goals, which is tied for fourth in the league, four behind Anaheim's Corey Perry. Kesler is now two game-winning goals from tying his season best seven (2010-11), and his 25 career game-winners is ninth-best in the franchise history, one behind Thomas Gradin. … Kesler produced a season-high three points in the Canucks' last game, a 4-3 loss at Winnipeg Friday night. He now has eight points in his last six games.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Should there be a need to settle this game with the skills competition, watch out for the league's best active goal-scorer in the shootout. Lats month, Panthers forward Brad Boyes netted his 37th career SO goal in a 2-1 win over Buffalo on Jan. 9. His lifetime 46.8 percent success rate is best among active skaters, and he's tied for second among league leaders with six SO goals this season, including a winner vs. the Red Wings on Dec. 10. … Boyes has points in four straight games, with three goals in that stretch, giving him 15 goals and 11 assists this season.
Valtteri Filppula missed his first game of the season, sitting out Saturday's game in Montreal with a lower-body injury. The former Red Wing is expected to return to the Lightning's lineup Tuesday at Minnesota.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Young defenseman Victor Hedman has produced nine points over his past five games, including three-assist games in back-to-back home wins over Ottawa and Colorado two weeks ago. Hedman is the first Lightning defenseman to accomplish that feat. … Last month, the 23-year-old played in his 300th career game, and leads all Tampa Bay defensemen in goals (11) and points (35). He ranks fourth among league defensemen in goals and is second among all skaters with four short-handed points.

I don't mean to disturb your holiday weekend just when you're trying to scrub that grease off the barbecue grill. But I thought now was a good time to remind you that in two months, you'll have an important choice to make about the air you breathe.
In November, you'll be asked whether California should continue on the path to becoming one of the world's environmental leaders. Or give up the good fight and pray that the global warming deniers are right.
I'm talking about Proposition 23, which comes to us courtesy of some of the finest corporate citizens America has to offer. We begin with Texas oil giants Valero and Tesoro, which both have refineries in California and are together sinking millions into the campaign to rewrite environmental standards here.
Then there's a company owned by oil billionaires Charles and David Koch, which has kicked $1 million into the Prop. 23 kitty. Those two cowboys have earned themselves a reputation for sponsoring campaigns that deny the need for renewable energy and also for backing groups that have trained "tea party" activists.

Birdy, somehow eggs have escaped my notice. Yesterday I noticed two Common Mormon caterpillars on my lemon plant...wish I could've photographed the eggs too!
These are great shots. Are you documenting the entire series?

Thanks Foolish for the comment. Of course they are real.
Thanks B.Held for the comment and appreciation.
Thanks Kanak Hagjer for the comment and sharing your observations. Certainly, I'm trying to photograph all stages of the lime butterfly. Now I need pictures of a mature pupa and newly emerged butterfly. I missed the opportunity twice already.

With their superior battery-technology and cost pr kWh, this should be quite easy. - Electric lawn mowers and other home appliances with the need for high-electricity storage. Probably many others, but these ones should be easy wins.

The Soul is a string of thoughts projected into the universe, creating a body or vessel into which we experience what it is to be born, live and then die, during which we are allowed to make choices that ultimately decide how and where we come into this universe, how we live and die. It is these choices that determine the quality and quantity of life. Life is not random even thou it may appear so and choices do not dictate how an event will play out. In order to reach an end result of a choice that has been made, the event will take the path of least resistance, painful or pleasant does not matter. Be careful what you wish for because the path of least resistance may be a painful one.

Just a quick post to show you something I am working on.
Its actually two banners, glued together to create one very special banner.
The paper is Bo Bunny. I love the colors and the feeling of beauty it brings.
There is also lots of detail even though it is very simple. The leaves are "crinkled" and then inked with a couple of different colors of colored chalk ink. They almost look real.
Fall is soon to be here. What are you creating?

Right. My name's Vix, and it's Friday down under, and lor' bless those wonderful things called timezones since this guest blog post is due today, UK time. Hello from the future. Anyway, I've been editing a book since July, so when my wonderful host asked me to do a spot over here I did a lot of hand-wringing and head-scratching as to what on earth I could possibly write about before the little lightbulb went on over my head--bing! there it is--oh yes. Editing.
So, editing. Editing, editing, editing, editing. I'm not going to talk about weaving the perfect plot, or description, or characters, or any of that stuff. This is all about what happens *after* you've sent your wee bairn AKA manuscript off to the wilds of beta readers, editors, or simply let your gut (or whatever part of you that hurts the most when it gets punched) make the thing as perfect, story-wise, as you can get it. This is about the part that comes between that and you formatting the thing to go off into the world, with the idea that if you follow at least some of these steps, the amount of expletives you'll need to utter when you see the thing in print/e-book form will be markedly reduced. A how-to guide for the reduction of those niggling little errors I've heard many authors complain about after the fact, in other words.
1. Find and replace.
Wonderful little function, this one. Comes in pretty much all word-processors, as you no doubt know by now. Not just good for changing Jims to Jills, or vice versa, but also for picking up nasty little formatting errors like double spaces after periods, no spaces at all after periods (or commas) and so on.
2. Wordle.net
Found at http://wordle.net/
Everyone has those words they overuse. This is where wordle comes in handy. You copy and paste your novel into the box, click submit, and back comes a lovely little tag-cloud type thing with the most commonly used words in a nice colourful font right in your face. It ignores the "invisible words" like 'the', 'and', 'then', etc. I do one pass for the entire book (to get a good overview), and one per chapter, in case I've unintentionally overused a more unusual word in a short span of pages. If you see words like "eyes" coming up in a giant font, it may mean you're relying too much on one form of conveying emotion. The main character(s)' names popping up may mean you've gone a bit "Heathcliff!" "Cathy!" in your interactions through dialogue. Other times there are the old bugbears like "just". In general, you can ignore the smaller words--just pay attention to the ones that really stand out as being potentially problematic.
3. Text-to-speech.
Built-in on the Mac platform (Edit menu/Speech/Start Speaking); not sure about Windows, though you can probably download about 20 programs for free that will do the same thing (only one of which is bound to attach a naked picture of Bill Gates every time you send an email to your mum.) And if you're running Linux, well, what do you care, you'll probably write your own program to do it. Anyhow, sit back, relax, and let the dulcet tones of Stephen Hawking read each of your chapters aloud while you follow along on the screen. What this is going to do is immediately pinpoint any words you've missed out that your brain automatically fills in no matter how many times you read the darn passage, and also remind you that you wanted to say, for example, "revise" rather than "revile" right there. It will also help pinpoint repetitive words/phrases.
4. Hunt the Cliché!
There are plenty of trite phrases in common usage. But what about the really clever ones you come up with all on your own, the ones your brain looks at and says, "That's bloody brilliant, that is; I'm gonna use that again." And so it does. On page 10, and page 55, and page 103, and page 229, and-- Anyway, you get the picture. This program runs on Windows, so I've not yet given it a whirl, but apparently it's just for such an occasion (and includes your garden variety clichés), and it's free to try out for up to 20 files. It's called Cliché Cleaner and you can find it at http://www.cliches.biz/clichecleaner/ccinfo.html
So, these are some of the best ways I've uncovered to get a cleaner-looking final product. I hope you guys find it useful!

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Wednesday, December 14, 2005
"In all that Christmas is,
it has a special meaning for children. And for them, artist Art Seiden has recreated some of the most famous of these storybook immortals and has brought them together at a party given by Alice." - Collier's ( Dec '55 )
This piece from the "Special Christmas Issue" of Collier's reaffirms that Art Seiden had risen to the top of the children's book market in the public conciousness - the Maurice Sendak of his day, if you will.
If you missed my earlier post on Seiden, you can find it here.
For many more images by Seiden and other children's book illustrators of the fifties, check out The Retro Kid. The range and volume of material will astound you!
And you can read about a memorable contemporary of Seiden's, Bernice Myers, over at Eric Sturdevant's excellent blog, Fun All Around. Eric has posted many images and a photo of Myers and her husband and co-creator, Lou.

Micallef Aoud Homme
Enter Aoud Homme. I have been patiently sampling ouds at a very comfortable pace. I've eschewed my former frenetic pace of bottle purchases and must-haves. I'm more interested these days in sampling and then buying a dyed-in-the-wool "must have" for my new and improved wardrobe. I was looking forward to trying this since there are only 2 others in contention to be the oud I will break down and purchase.
Upon initial application, I thought "surely this is the one". It smells that good. A transparent, resinous agarwood blankets the skin like Montale Lite. I was happy during the opening that it wasn't as all-encompassing as Montales have a tendency to be. All was great for about 30 minutes and it was then that I noticed Aoud Homme was in the process of pulling a Houdini on me. How can this be? A half hour of enjoyable wearing and then BANG ! Nothing but a skin scent and keep in mind I applied healthy sprays.
I'm more disappointed than anything. This had the potential to be the purchase I am looking for since it smells awesome. I need longevity however and Aoud Homme evaporates like the steam from your morning cup of coffee. Such a shame...........
I can recommend sampling Aoud Homme to see if it has better results for you, but to suggest a purchase is absurd........especially at these prices.

Screen Readers with Silverlight Applications.
Web based applications fly across global boundaries due to which accessibility and ease of use becomes one of the most important factor that drives the sales count of the service we provide.
As per 508 Compliance if we require our service served to audience with disabilities it should follow various aspects.
For thorough details please refer
This article is specifically targeted for users interested to know
How do we provide support for Screen Readers software with the applications developed in one of the most cutting edge technology Silverlight?
Traditional web based applications that emits html to browsers easily comply with Screen readers based on specifications followed for HTML.
With Silverlight based applications the Silverlight plug-in takes care for screen readers. We just need to follow some methodologies provided in form of Automation Properties in Silverlight. Automation Properties provide several methods and attachable properties which help us define access keys, instruction text for screen readers and much more.
For details please refer
By following these properties the work is pretty much simple.
Sample 1
<TextBox id=" nameTextBox" AutomationProperties.Name="Please enter name" />
Screen reader will voice over "Please enter name" when this textbox receives focus.
Sample 2
<TextBlock id="nameTextBlock" Text="Please enter name" /> <TextBox id="nameTextBox" AutomationProperties.LabeledBy="{Binding ElementName= nameTextBlock }" />
Screen reader will voice over "Please enter name" when this textbox receives focus. Here is the case when we want to directly bind the AutomationProperties.Name property of textbox to any control, in this case a label beside text box.
Pretty much simply till here.
But wait!
Silverlight SDK and Controls are very powerful and includes number of controls that can be bound directly to objects. Here is where most of the screen readers fail while generating voice over for such control. I will depict the problem with one of the control "Combo Box"
If your combo box is bound to any dictionary object including collection than screen readers will work perfectly. But if combo box is bound to any object like "Person" than screen readers will fail.
Sample Code
<ComboBox Name="personsComboBox" ItemsSource="{Binding}" DisplayMemberPath="Name"/>
public class Person : INotifyPropertyChanged { private string name; public string Name { get { return name; } set { if (value != name) { name = value; OnPropertyChnaged("Name"); } } } private string surname; public string Surname { get { return surname; } set { if (value != surname) { surname = value; OnPropertyChnaged("Surname"); } } } private Int32 age; public Int32 Age { get { return age; } set { if (value != age) { age = value; OnPropertyChnaged("Age"); } } } #region INotifyPropertyChanged Members public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged; private void OnPropertyChnaged(string propertyName) { if (PropertyChanged != null) { PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName)); } } #endregion }
Screen Readers works on strings attached to the controls using attachable property AutomationProperties.Name as described in above example code. With the case were we are binding objects directly to control, screen readers fail and voice over the entire path (Namespace.ObjecName) were the object reside. In order to overcome this issue simply override ToString() method for your objects.
Adding this code with the Person object designed above will ask screen readers to voice over "Name" property.
public override string ToString() { return Name; }
Tricky but yet simple.
Enjoy Coding.

Spencer Matthews has lost lust without alcohol
- Bang Showbiz
- 14 April 2015
'Made in Chelsea' star Spencer Matthews says he finds it easier to be a loyal boyfriend to his girl Lauren Hutton since he stopped drinking
'Made In Chelsea' star Spencer Matthews finds it easy to be a loyal boyfriend now he's stopped drinking.
The 25-year-old lothario has admitted that boozing used to make him "randy", but now he's been sober for three months it's no issue for him to stay faithful to his girlfriend Lauren Hutton.
In an interview on 'This Morning', Spencer said: "I have a wonderful girlfriend. I'm very happy, very in love. I haven't had a drink for three months today, and, I suppose, my behavioural changes have been affected by the no drinking."
He then asked host Phillip Schofield: "Don't you get randy when you're drunk?"
To which Philip replied: "Yeah, but I don't do it on TV!"
Spencer laughed and then added: "I think the no drinking is definitely a positive for me and a good thing in my life."
The first episode of the new series of 'Made in Chelsea' aired on E4 last night (13.04.15) and saw a focus on eight new faces, who Spencer's ex-girlfriend Louise Thompson described as "more options".
Jamie Laing agreed that getting new members of cast introduced to the show is "exciting".
He told Phillip and Amanda Holden: "I think what's great about our show is that we're friends with everyone, so the new characters aren't just random people who come on, so it is quite exciting when new faces come on. We do argue, but we've known each other for years, and we've grown up together."

Correcting with Respect
If you remember, we have discussed before that it is not polite to correct others in front of others. This means that we never "call out" someone in public, or in front of others, because this might embarrass or belittle them. If a correction is in need, we simply wait for the opportunity when we can pull the person aside and in private, politely give the correction. This same principle applies to our children. WE NEVER WANT TO EMBARRASS OUR CHILDREN. Now hold on. Breathe.....Let's discuss the solution to this dilemma. Do our children sometimes need correcting when we are in public? Do chickens lay eggs? Of course they do. Sometimes those little angels of ours are worse than a tic on a hound, however, we must do our best to show complete respect and honor to our children. Please, please don't ever yell, spank, criticize, etc. your children in the presence of others, even their siblings. This means that you have to separate yourself and your child and administer the correction in private. Sometimes, due to the safety of your other children, you cannot separate yourself at the time. In that case, you will simply have to pull your child to the side and quietly acknowledge that the correction will happen at a later time.
I know I'm suggesting something that will be difficult at times. I had all boys in my home, so trust me when I say that this takes great self control and patience. I can promise you however, that as we make an effort to show respect to our children by striving to protect their dignity, our children's love and respect for us will increase as well. As our children realize that correcting them comes from love and devotion, instead of anger and frustration, they will learn to honor our words and our actions. No, of course it doesn't mean they will always love or enjoy being corrected, but they will know that we correct because we love them.
As we consider ways that we can show our children love and respect, I think it will help to simply consider how we would want someone to correct us. Just because they're children, doesn't mean that we have a license to embarrass or humiliate them, regardless of their behavior. It's the principle of two wrongs, don't make a right. I think this is a topic worth spending some time pondering and considering. Some day, our children will ponder our parenting when they are making decisions for their own children. I hope we leave them a legacy of trust, honor, love and encouragement as we help shape their precious lives.
Have a great month.

Okay, I like the idea in theory, but I have practical application questions~ my six children range in age from 9 down to 3 months old. I completely see how this could work well with children around age 4 or older. However, how do you handle discipline with a toddler (say age 2 or 3, as I have one of each)? Would you still wait to discipline if you could not get away to do so privately? I'm asking because at that age my children cannot remember 5 minutes later, much less a half hour or more, what they did and why they are receiving a consequence. If we waited to do discipline privately at this age it would become simply punishment, as they have no rememberance of what brought on the correction.
Help? I would love to hear your thoughts on this!
- March 15, 2011 at 5:52 PM
No Way....If the child misbehaves in public, they better be ready to recieve correction in public...they won't wanna do it again. I cannot believe that we let our kids lead us around by they nose. They have to learn that love can Frown.
- March 16, 2011 at 5:17 AM
If it was wrong to call out bad behavior in public than there would be no public punishment. Sometimes correction is meant to cause others to see and do what is right. It could be said that you are being selfish by keeping the corrected behavior in secret and also there is no chance for teaching children to make amends for their errors. Kids can know your heart without being sneaky.

Default operating system list not found
I played around with a software( paragon portion manager) that installed its own boot loader for my dual boot laptop and after restoring back to its former settings, whenever I go to system properties and click on start up and recovery and then settings under the default operating system ther's nothing being displayed there.
How do I get windows 7 back there cos its not allowing my laptop hibernate..
|My System Specs
|18 Dec 2011
Please post back a screenshot of your maximized Disk Mgmt drive map with listings, using the Snipping Tool in Start Menu. Tell us what's on each partition.
Do you have a System Restore point from before the changes were originally made?
|My System Specs
|18 Dec 2011
on the C is where the windows installation is. On the D is the recovery partition for windows vista that was on the computer before I upgraded to windows 7 ultimate. The G drive is an external memory card, while the 196mb partition and the 29.09Gb partitions are where my Linux ( fedora 10) is currently installed.
As for a restore point, yes it was created before the error but after windows showed some errors when booting and I ran check disk the old restore points were removed.
|My System Specs
|18 Dec 2011
eyekay - I'd move the Active flag back to Win7 partition, if necessary run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times '
to repair the System boot files. Then add Linux back to Dual Boot this way: Dual boot Ubuntu-Win7
Partition - Mark as Active
|My System Specs
|18 Dec 2011
my system boots fine normally its just that in systems properties whenever I click on settings I can't see windows 7 there.. I hope marking the windows partitions as active won't cause more problems..
Let me give it a try and get back to you
|My System Specs
|18 Dec 2011
Help!!!! Right now I can't boot into either fedora Linux or windows. I marked the windows partition active and restarted and now my problems have started.. Don't know where to go to..
|My System Specs
|19 Dec 2011
finally everything works well now... after marking the c drive as active, and I restarted and got the grub command prompt, I simply just inserted my fedora 10 cd and re installed a new boot loader and when I restarted I could now login to both windows 7 and fedora 10.
Also the windows 7 is now highlighted in the advanced system settings, under start up and recover and settings..
I can now say its finally solved and the system now hibernates also.
Thanks a lot
|My System Specs
|19 Dec 2011
We give clear steps for complicated operations here but count on them being done exactly as stated.
|My System Specs
|19 Dec 2011
very sorry. I couldn't run start up anyway cos grub kept coming up and also I didn't have the installation dvd at hand as well.
It turns out that it all worked out well after I marked the drive as active and then used the fedora cd to install grub and selected windows and everything worked out just fine.
Wouldn't have done it without your help though.
Recommending this site to other friends as well
Thanks a lot

To blog or not to blog that is the question that has plagued me for the last few months. Health reason have keep me quite, but also I just don't seem to have a lot to say. Plus I always feel I should be writing and working on my stories.
So I thought I would share with you a bit about a disease that has crippled my Mum for the last few years. (I've probably written about this before so sorry if it is a double up)
George Huntington wrote about an illness Huntington's Disease in 1872, although he was not the first to discover the disease. It is believed Huntington's dates back to the Middle Ages.
What Is Huntington's Disease?
It is usually characterised by involuntary movement and intellectual, emotional and behavioural problems.
It is more common for HD symptoms to appear when a person is in their mid thirties to late forties. There are however cases where the disease can develop in childhood or an elderly person. My mum was diagnosed in her early eighties.
Although treatment and research of HD has improved lately at this stage there is no cure for the disease.
What Causes Huntington's Disease?
HD is caused by a defective gene which results in the gradual destruction of neurons (brain cells), particularly in those parts of the brain known as the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex.
This defective gene has a 50/50 percent chance of being passed on from one generation to the next. This means a child of a HD patient has a 50/50 chance of getting HD. If that child is also diagnosed with HD at some point in his or her life the defective gene it will eventually become active and brain cells in the body's central nervous system will start to die. This is when a person begins to develop the symptoms of HD. I am one of the lucky ones and don't have the gene.
What Are The Symptoms Of Huntington's Disease (HD)?
Early Symptoms
The early symptoms of HD may include:
Ø forms of nervous activity like fidgeting, minor twitching in fingers and toes;
Ø excessive restlessness;
Ø some clumsiness;
Ø slight alterations in handwriting; and
Ø minor difficulty with normal daily physical skills like driving.
Apart from the physical symptoms of HD, there are often very subtle intellectual or emotional signs as well, such as:
Ø short-term memory loss;
Ø less ability to organise routine tasks or to cope with new situations;
Ø periods of depression, apathy and irritability; and
Ø impulsiveness.
Of course just because a person has emotional outbursts, does something clumsy or forgets a task it is not necessarily a sign that they have HD. These things can be just as easily experienced by a person who does not have the defective gene at all. (I do that all the time and I've been tested and it came back negative for HD)
As HD progresses the early physical, intellectual and emotional symptoms become more marked.
In many cases the person with HD will develop involuntary movements like jerks and twitches of the head, neck, arms and legs. Sometimes, people with HD will develop rigid muscles instead of involuntary movement.
All of these physical symptoms can make walking, speech, swallowing and other basic tasks more difficult as the disease progresses.
Is There A Test For Huntington's Disease (HD)?
In a word 'YES'. But it is a personal choice as to whether a person wishes to go down that road. At first I had decided not to have the test, but after awhile I changed my mind and was one of the lucky ones. I can now go on with my life knowing my children and grandchildren will be safe as HD does not jump a generation it has to be passed down via a direct line.
More Information.
If you would like more information on HD you can contact Huntington's New South Wales.
Cheers for now.

Dodgeball was legend amongst Internet social junkies. This cool mobile app let you know where your friends and crushes were, and made meeting up easy. It was so beloved that there was a farewell party in San Francisco when the site shut down. Something with that much community support can't stay dead for long, though, so now there's Foursquare, a Dodgeball "sequel" from one of the guys behind Dodgeball.
So, what does Foursquare do? Like Dodgeball, it lets you check in from your phone when you go somewhere. Foursquare has several ways to do this, via iPhone, a mobile web interface, or good old text messaging. Foursquare also has Twitter integration, so you can get/send checkins through Twitter's direct message interface. It's launched in 12 cities so far, so go check if yours is supported. Dodgeball is dead, long live Dodgeball.

You are POWERFUL Beyond Measure!!!
Our special guest Coach Lamill Truitt, a Professional Life & Emotional fitness Expert is asking us this question. . .Do you sometimes just want to throw in the towel?
There is not enough time in the day to do all that we do. No wonder we often feel exhausted and unhappy. The Bible says that there is a remedy for our endless activity. God strengthens us, empowering us to push through and get our jobs done. Sometimes He does that by empowering us to say "no" when we should, rest when we should, and keep our lives balanced.
This is exactly what our guest speaker Coach Lomil Truitt wants discuss. Finding balance in our emotions that we feel on a daily basis. Finding balance in living our lives in reaction to our environment.
He says, "Our emotions are like the ocean some days they're brewing storms; other days they're as calm as they can be." Well this call is designed to remind us of one very important fact. . .
Isaiah 40:29 says, God gives strength to the weary and increases the POWER of the weak. . .
Model Goodness!

A capacity crowd was in attendance at Juventus Stadium to witness a convincing 2-0 victory over Fiorentina as the offensive duo of Mirko Vucinic and Alessandro Matri each found the back of the net in a particularly dominant first half display. 20 Juve's convincing start was rewarded when Vucinic lashed a powerful effort home from outside the box on 19 minutes, while Matri doubled the advantage shortly before the break following some good work from Arturo Vidal. The first noteworthy chance of the encounter fell to Marchisio on ten minutes. The midfielder, making his 200th official appearance in the black and white stripes, brilliantly rounded Savic to work a shooting opportunity just outside the box, only to see his fiercely struck left-footed effort roll menacingly past the post with keeper Viviano beaten. Moments later, an intelligent quick free kick from Pirlo caught the away defence off guard. The ever-alert Vucinic connected with the pass, however the Viola shotstopper was alive to the situation to prevent an early Juventus lead. With 17 minutes played, Fiorentina fashioned their best opportunity of the half. After a partially blocked shot from Cuadrado, the ball dropped favourably in the box for Jovetic, and with Marrone wrong footed, the young Montenegrin forward released a low effort which forced a reaction save from the left leg of Buffon. Just two minutes later, the Bianconeri identified a gap in the Viola defence and made their dominance count by achieving the breakthrough. A long pass from Pirlo was directed towards the run of Matri, with Roncaglia's headed clearance dropping straight into the path of Vucinic, who had no hesitation in lashing home a fierce volley past the diving Viviano. Visibly buoyed by his goal, the Montenegrin almost doubled his tally after strong pressure forced Rodriguez into a mistake. Having won the ball on the right wing, Vucinic drove towards the target but saw his attempt thwarted by Viviano. The Bianconeri doubled their advantage with 41 minutes played. Excellent skill from Vidal drew in the Viola defence, with Matri capitalising on the space to receive the Chilean's pass and guide a low shot home to bring Juventus Stadium to its feet. Conte's men were quick out of the blocks after the interval and created their opening chance of the half after just two minutes. De Ceglie burst down the left flank and squared the ball back to the edge of the box, where Vidal struck a powerful effort which fizzed narrowly over the crossbar. A marauding run from the right side of midfield then saw Lichtsteiner thread a dangerous pass between two defenders to find Matri in space, but his effort from a tough angle passed just wide of the far post. The hosts had several chances to add to the lead in the final ten minutes as a sustained spell of pinned Fiorentina back in their own half. After an attempted bicyle kick from the penalty spot, Vidal sprung back to his feet and won the ball inside the opposition box. The Chilean midfielder then picked out Pogba lurking with intent on the edge of the area, but a diving purple shirt blocked the Frenchman's effort. Giovinco had an opportunity to put the icing on the cake in the dying stages, but failed to connect with a right footed volley after Peluso's teasing delivery from the left.
