Key panel named in Minnesota Senate recount
Associated Press
ST. PAUL -- The jury that will rule on disputed ballots in the Minnesota Senate recount includes the Democratic secretary of state, two Supreme Court justices appointed by a Republican governor and two district judges whose politics are harder to gauge.
The five-member canvassing board holds enormous sway over the outcome of the race between Republican Sen. Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken. Coleman currently leads by 206 votes out of 2.9 million -- a margin of seven-thousandths of 1 percent, small enough to trigger an automatic recount.
The board meets Tuesday to certify the machine-counted tally before officially ordering the manual recount that will start the next day. A month later, the panel will reconvene to determine the fate of ballots challenged during the recount.
The board's members are Democratic Secretary of State Mark Ritchie; Supreme Court Chief Justice Eric Magnuson and Justice G. Barry Anderson, both appointed by GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty; and Ramsey County Chief Judge Kathleen Gearin and her deputy, Judge Edward Cleary.
Gearin rose to the bench in a nonpartisan election in 1986. Cleary was appointed in 2002 by then-Gov. Jesse Ventura, an Independence Party member.
State law gives Ritchie authority to fill out the judicial slots on the board within certain parameters, but he said he accepted recommendations by Magnuson and Gearin. At a news conference Wednesday, Ritchie downplayed the political ties of canvassing board members, including himself.
"When they put on the robe, they stop being of a political party and they start being servants of the people of Minnesota and I feel the same way when I took the oath of office and walked through the door," Ritchie said.
He added, "I can promise you and the citizens that this is going to be run in an extraordinarily nonpartisan way."
Fritz Knaak, Coleman's lead lawyer, said he was comfortable with the board's makeup.
"The people of this state should feel good about who's on the panel," he said.
Franken spokesman Andy Barr jabbed at Coleman supporters who have raised questions about Ritchie's impartiality.
"I think we can all now see that their claims were just political posturing," Barr said. "Today, Mark Ritchie has named two partisan Republican Supreme Court justices to the state canvassing board."
The individual decisions the canvassing board makes aren't subject to appeal, but the entire election could wind up in court if one side contests the outcome.
The recount action will be spread around the state. Ritchie's office has identified 74 recount sites and predicts that will grow to as many as 120 by next week.
On Wednesday, local election officials will start conducting the ballot-by-ballot count. With campaign observers and lawyers looking on, they'll sort the ballots into Coleman and Franken piles. Ballots for third-party candidates will wind up in a separate stack, along with those where voter intent can't be determined or those that had multiple votes for the race.
The campaigns can challenge ballots as well, although rules require them to state a basis for the challenge and bar them from making "automatic or frivolous" challenges.
The ballots that wind up in the challenged pile will come back to the canvassing board for review and determinations. That is scheduled to start Dec. 16.
There were 2.92 million estimated voters on Election Day, but 2.88 million recorded votes. Some voters may have intentionally skipped the race, but officials expect the hand count to show votes that the optical-scan machines didn't pick up.
Local elections officials are due to receive recount training this Thursday.
Depending on the size of the county, the local counts will take anywhere from a day to a couple of weeks. Some places won't start their count until Nov. 24.
The secretary of state's office wants all the local counts done by Dec. 5, although it stopped short of saying it was a hard deadline.
Joel Beckman, Dakota County's director of property records and licensing, said his staff is prepared to work into the weekend if necessary to finish its count of 226,000 ballots prior to Thanksgiving. He expects it to take five days.
Beckman suspects the process will draw a crowd -- aside from the observers the campaigns send out -- and he welcomes the spectators.
"We have absolutely nothing to hide," Beckman said. "I hope people come out to assure themselves that Minnesota's elections are open and honest and above board."
Sketches of the five members of the state canvassing board that will rule on disputed ballots in the U.S. Senate race recount between Republican Sen. Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken:
-- MARK RITCHIE: A Democrat, Ritchie took office as Minnesota's secretary of state in January 2007 after beating two-term Republican Mary Kiffmeyer with the backing of a national group pushing to elect Democratic secretaries of state. Ritchie, 56, has sought to increase Minnesota's already high voter turnout. He headed a national voter turnout campaign in 2004. Ritchie is a farm policy expert who headed an agricultural think tank for 20 years and worked as a policy analyst for the state Department of Agriculture.
-- ERIC MAGNUSON: A former law firm colleague of Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Magnuson was appointed by Pawlenty to the Minnesota Supreme Court in June as its chief justice. Magnuson, 57, a noted appellate lawyer, sealed the governor's hold on the seven-member court as his fourth appointee. He worked with Pawlenty at the now-defunct Rider Bennett law firm and screened potential judicial appointees for Pawlenty from 2003 to 2008. Magnuson is viewed as a friend to social conservatives.
-- G. BARRY ANDERSON: A former attorney for the state Republican Party, Anderson has served on the state Supreme Court since Pawlenty put him there in 2004. Anderson, 54, served on the state Court of Appeals for six years and has declined partisan endorsements in his judicial elections. He was city attorney in Hutchinson, Minn., from 1987 to 1998. Anderson specialized in civil trials before his judicial career began.
-- KATHLEEN GEARIN: A former Ramsey County prosecutor who first won her seat on the county bench in a 1986 election, Gearin became chief judge a few months ago. Her partisan leanings are unclear. On Saturday, she ruled against Coleman's attempt to block 32 absentee ballots from being counted in the Senate race. Gearin played a key role in preparing the courts to process arrestees from September's Republican National Convention in St. Paul. She specialized in child and sexual abuse issues as a prosecutor.
-- EDWARD CLEARY: In 2002, Independence Party Gov. Jesse Ventura picked Cleary -- then the head of the organization that polices the state's lawyers -- for a spot on the Ramsey County bench. Cleary is now the county's assistant chief judge. Cleary, a former public defender, recently rejected a challenge to the contract for the new Interstate 35W bridge. He wrote a book on the First Amendment.

Some Theses on Luther's Theology for Prof. Robert Goeser 3/23/2000
Some Theses on Luther's Theology
Pr. Peter D.S. Krey 3/23/2000
* According to Luther, Sadoleto shows his complete ignorance of theology by thinking Psalm 51 is referring to an actual or particular sin. The issue is not sins, but sin. "This is really to be looking at sin, not this or that misdeed, but our whole nature and our universal sin, with all our powers, with all our righteousness and wisdom of the flesh."[1] Thus Luther insists that at my very best, I am sinful. It is under the presumption of righteousness that sin is concealed.
* Scholastic theology cannot comprehend what Luther is pointing out, because it needs to be grasped by experience. In The Pursuit of Holiness in Late Medieval and Renaissance Religion, Heiko Oberman and Charles Trinkaus point out that scholasticism at this time maintained a divorce between faith and daily experience, and represented a fearful clinging to the authority of the church.[2]
* Scott Hendrix in Luther and the Papacy argues convincingly about Luther's pastoral theology,[3] but he does not notice that Luther is speaking not only to clergy but consciously and intentionally to the laity. Thus his theology should be characterized as experiential.
* Luther's theology is not logic driven like scholasticism, but based, surprisingly, on experience!
* Reality is what a person goes through, not just what they know. A corollary: a relationship is much more than an analysis of it.
* One must go through an experience, it requires going through the moments of time, and in the process, a person cannot stay in control. One kind of knowing tries to maintain the illusion of staying in control. Marriage is an apt analogy for experiential knowing: one can never know how it will come out. One cannot participate in reality without experience.
* Oberman argues that Nominalism was the source of Luther's emphasis on experience.[4]
1. Note his contingency emphasis.
2. Our world, according to Luther, is not a mere reflection and shadow of higher levels of being. Nominalists insisted on the full reality of our experienced world.
3. Ockham slashes away the hierarchy of being, of ideas and concepts, which sheer speculation invented.
4. Nominalism emphasized coordination, not subordination.
* Luther's Word of God Theology needs to be understood in a new sense. In a Marxist sense words cannot be equated with reality, for example that the word "state" is really the material existence of the state, because materialism requires a separation of word and referent. But for Luther's creative language, the spirit and the word are one, much like Hegel's concept of the concrete spirit. The Word of God is the source of all creation, like, mystically speaking, creatures arising out of an abyss. All creation has its source in the Word of God, as the Second Person of the Trinity, but also in the sense of the living voice, the speech of God. In his commentary on Genesis, Luther speaks of God saying "birds" and behold they fly up out of nothing.[5] "[God] does not speak grammatical words; he speaks true and existent realities….we are all words of God….: Thus the words of God are realities and not bare words."[6]
Luther maintains that God speaks creation into existence:
Here men have differentiated between the uncreated Word and the created word. The created word is brought into being by the uncreated Word. What else is the entire creation than the Word of God uttered by God, or extended to the outside? But the uncreated Word is a divine thought, an inner command which abides in God, the same as God and yet a distinct Person. Thus God reveals Himself to us as the Speaker who has with him the uncreated Word, through whom He created the world and all things with the greatest ease, namely, by speaking.[7]
These citations help to explain Luther's passages at the end of his commentary on Psalm 51.[8] "The sacrificed ox is a witness of grace, or, so to speak, a 'working voice' of gratitude, or a manual gratitude, through which the hand pours out gratitude as through words of action (realibus vocabulis)."[9]
* In that style of the sociology of religion which uses the cultural linguistic method, Luther would be considered to be thinking in unitive language.[10]
* Luther makes a distinction between the Word of God and human words and teachings, to my way of thinking, very hard to follow.[11] He delimits the circumscribed competence of human reason in the mundane realm. Human beings who refuse to recognize these limits make a false ultimate of themselves. In this sense our reason, wisdom, and holiness become confusion and darkness. If the human being accepts the affliction and humiliation of these limits, then there is a realm outside of us.
This realm is extra nos, as Wolfhart Pannenberg, in his lecture, "Luther's Contribution to Christian Spirituality" pointed out.[12] He underscores the extra nos in that great paragraph from "The Freedom of the Christian Person." – The person is lifted above herself (to use our language) by faith into God, and descends below herself through love into the neighbor.[13] And thus the person is outside herself, in the faith and love that comes from the Spirit of God, from outside the circumscribed human sphere. When reason, wisdom, and holiness are not made a false ultimate, they recognize that only grace can bring about participation in creation. A false ultimate distorts and destroys God's continuous creation and justification by faith overcomes this alienation.
* "Then we shall praise the sacrifices which we earlier condemned, and they will please Thee."[14] Thus the Church is afflicted and humiliated by having been demoted into the human sphere, and it is not at all justified or worthy except by looking up and receiving the marvelous grace of God from the Spirit, extra nos, in the Word of God. With that the Church has undergone reform, so to speak.
Remember, according to Luther, at its very best, humanity is sinful, when it usurps God's place, and asserts itself as a false ultimate.
Thus what is as sinful as the Holy Church which identifies itself as the Kingdom of God on earth? It may well be the crown of creation. It may well be that canon law, in my early modern period of study, far surpassed the civil law in quality. As an ultimate, however, it becomes the most subtle and severe distortion of God's creation, and will leave it twisted and evil.

text: I'm planning a build - or rather, more like a kit build. It's going to be a ES-335 semi meets Les Paul Jnr: One dogear P90, wraparound bridge, 1 x vol and 1 x tone. The picture is a basic mock-up. I know where I can source the body and neck blank - no routing for pickups, holes for bridge and controls not drilled, I'll do all these myself. I'm thinking the sound should be like a mellower, woodier LP Junior - or maybe a brighter, bitey-er 335? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts about my idea. Also I'm looking for advice on mounting the dogear P90. As the top of the guitar is arched, it won't just sit like on a flat-top. How do Gibson do this on their P90-equipped semis? I have seen P90 dogear covers with curved bottoms, to sit on the top of the guitar while the guts of the P90 appear to just fit inside the standard P90 rout.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has reconfirmed that French midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin will not be leaving the club in the current transfer window.
According to the London Evening Standard, the Dutch coach claims that speculation over the player's future has now gone away as far as his current club are concerned. Schneiderlin has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham in this transfer window, with Arsenal also showing an interest.
However, Koeman's recent comments to reporters seem to suggest the player is not leaving.
He said: "For us the rumours about him have gone away. He played a fantastic match for us against Liverpool, and how he has acted is fantastic.
"He showed his qualities last Sunday and we are happy to have him in our squad. Nothing depends on offers [for Schneiderlin] because he will stay in Southampton."
Schneiderlin has been subject to bids ranging from £12m to £16m from Spurs, though talk most recently has involved an exchange involving winger Andros Townsend.
However, Koeman also hinted that while the swap deal may not happen, that doesn't necessarily mean Southampton won't go for Townsend.
He said "everything is possible" when quizzed about the possibility of a move for the England international.

Several years ago, a group of us set out on a trek. We traveled to South America, Eurasia, and Africa all in one day. We saw a wide variety of animals – peafowl, pigs, lions, tigers and bears – oh my, zebras, deer, bison. Oh and an elephant with a huge wang. It was a great day, and the group enjoyable. We tended to hang out quite a bit in that summer.
Now that group, much like The Fellowship, has disbanded. People have moved, gotten married, etc. Sunday, there was only two of us on our trek across the world. Here's what's awesome about good friends: You can see each other maybe once or twice a year, but when you do meet up, you just keep going. There's no "previously on". It's just a continuation of where you left off. Like you just put a bookmark in those months and have opened the book again to continue those character's adventures.
I have several long distance friendships. My friend Noley and I have been friends since my first year of college back in Ontario. I've lived in Calgary longer than I was in K-W, and in the eight years I've lived here, we've only seen each other twice. But we still have a really strong friendship.
Of course, being in the actual company of people is good, but a moving friend is not necessarily a death sentence for that relationship.
So happy trails Trevoures But the Ess is Silent. Maybe next time I'm in TO we can go to the zoo there, even though they won't have elephants.

Now to bring the thread back to topic, I will try to answer the topic to the best of my capability.
1. Raising funds.
- The institute must fund it. If it doesnt and you have to raise funds yourself, may I suggest you consider opening a business instead ? or a club outside of the institute so that it remains your baby forever and gets the care it deserves.
2. Workshop-- if we teach everyone everything, then how willl the clb survive next year??
- There will be new batch next year I guess.
3. How to attract more and more students to become members.
- Have an exhibition. Showcase your robots. Give a certificate people would like show in job interviews. And if nothing works, have girls hand out membership forms ;-)
4. How to send teams in different institutes in the name of TRAIC.
- Whats the problem here. Call the hosting institute, apply, make travel arrangements and go. The teams will have to do the major work not the whole club. The club will help where the team specifically asks for help. The team should take the drivers seat for going to competitions.
5. How to teach students.... ......
- Forget teaching and focus on building. Teaching will get taken care of automatically, as students will study themselves to build the darn thing. Instead think of arranging equipment and parts the club will need.

Following in the footsteps of Rome
The picture of Chester on a foggy night above perfectly evokes the atmosphere of the Roman walls that surround the town. For me one of the few recompenses of living in England is the close proximity of fascinating places such as Chester,if you love history and architecture as I do its quite easy to get a weekly dose of the two. Chester whilst not as preserved as some European cities is a great example of continuous habitation of a city by successive cultures.The walls are nearly 2000 years old (with subsequent rebuilds) and follow the outline of the original legionary fort and civitas. Add on the Saxon,medieval and Carolean rebuilds and Chester makes for a fascinating visit.I may like travelling around California's byways but on the right day..this is a perfect place.

It isn't uncommon to have an eclectic taste in furniture and interior design styles, favoring, say, a mid-century modern sofa with a contemporary glass coffee table and a more traditional rug with a bolder bold design. But eclectic home goods don't always look right when put in the same room together, and that's because there's more to creating an eclectic, yet cohesive interior design that you might think. Here is a brief guide to combining elements from multiple design styles in a single room.
Plan carefully.
First, you should get used to the idea that mixing styles and design influences is going to require a little more foresight and planning. Otherwise, your home could easily end up looking cluttered and messy.
Consider the range within one particular style.
You might find that you like, say, the clean lines on a particular mid-century modern sofa and the natural wood texture on a more traditional coffee table. But is it two different styles that you are favoring, then, or is it really two distinct characteristics within the realm of modern furniture design that you admire? Before taking things you like from different styles, take a look at the many characteristics that one style has to offer and imagine how you can incorporate many of those characteristics in your interior design. Even when you stay within the realm of modern design with your interior design, you have a wide variety of colors, textures, and materials to work from—all of which can easily come together to create a cohesive look.
Start with a neutral base.
It's easiest to start with a neutral color palette and to add color from there. Try keeping your walls and flooring neutral, and that add interesting points of color with accessories like throw pillows, wall art, and lamps.
Don't go with too many styles.
Think about mixing styles the way you would think about mixing colors; if you venture too far beyond a simple base of two colors, things aren't going to look cohesive. So rather than introducing several different design styles in a single room, pick one major style that you love and accent with pieces influenced by a different style. Use a common characteristic like color or material to tie this eclectic piece in with the rest of the room.
Find unity in another characteristic.
It's always easiest to find unity by opting for one particular style in a room, but if you're really looking to bring a couple different styles together, find unity in another characteristic that these pieces might share—such as color or texture.

Check out a few things to keep in mind when next you're getting your brows done
1. Don't use black - i said this the other time on one of my previous post on 'my barely there makeup routine' and and quite a few readers disagreed. Though am all for wearing makeup you are most comfortable and confident in, i strongly advocate against the use of black pencils for your brows. They are way too harsh - instead, use dark brown pencils. There are shades as close to black but not black. I'll try to search for some products and pass them along. Even my Angelina Jolie looks weird in it, see?
2. Never pluck them all off - over tweezing is a common error, trust me - no one can ever look good without their browns, they are dahm important. I mean, have a look at Kim and Tyra.......who ever did this to them was just pure mean *straight face*
I hope this will guide you when next you're plucking your brows ladies, very soon - we will talk about perfecting them. Have fun! I'd love for you to share your experiences and thoughts too, can't wait to read your comments...........

Laurel's Tribute Block
This block is a work-in-progress by Laurel, and a Tribute to her Mother. I really appreciate her allowing me to put it up on the net - as I think it is a brilliant piece of work for a number of reasons.
There is a closeup version HERE.
Laurel has a wonderful embroidery machine, and this block illustrates just how well they can be used for Crazy Patch. The central motif is one from a disk I think she called "Mother's Little Helper", and the Singer words and seams are by machine too. All the pieces have special meaning for Laurel, and buttons and broaches were her mother's, and the metal zip (bottom left), which has been cleverly used, was hers as well.
The thing that really took me is, I would never have thought of sewing on a cloth tape measure (it was Laurel's Mother's), although I have seen wooden cotton reels used.
I am collecting pieces for a future work "Homage to my machine", and this has really made me think much wider than I had been.
Don't you love it when you see pieces like this?

Moose reports that she knows an unfortuate person who complains they never have any luck. Moose speaks:
"Emm, well ma friend was havin a string of bad luck. Nothing wuz workin out fur him. He just couldnt seem ta do anythin right so he decided to end it all.
To be sure that he was successful in his suicide he poured gasoline on himself, tied one end of a rope around his neck and the other to a tree. He then swallowed poison , lit the gasoline, and ran off the cliff.
As he ran off tha cliff the fire burned through the rope so he fell into the salt water below. The water put tha fire out. As he thrashed about, he swallowed salt water what caused him ta throw up tha poison. All tha commotion alerted a fisherman near by what rescued him from tha water."Moose ponders
"Now frum this here experience? I would have to say that luck wuz kinda related to ya point of view! God duz love ya and sum times luck is a blessin even when it seems like a curse. You has that choice of finding tha bright side of things or looking fur tha dark side. Seems they is more folks around what will help ya find tha dark side. Wuts up with that? "

Pattern details:
Pattern name: Nevis
Pattern Source: Rowan 42
Yarn used: Rowan Tapestry
Needle size 3.25 mm and 4mm
Size: Smallest
Started: Nov 2007
Finished : Sept 2008
Comments: Straight forward pattern. No errors which was refreshing! The yarn is extremely splitty which is a problem when knitting a cable pattern. The only problem I had with the pattern was the lack of a set up row for the cable pattern. Cabling on row 1 is not the easiest thing to do. The colourway of the yarn is stunning, sadly, I have not been able to capture this.

El Paso Matchups
Tuffs Picks for El Paso
CBR is ready to bring some world class bull riding to West Texas. This area has the best fans in the country and theyre going to see some of the best matchups in the business tonight.
Cooper Kangiesser has War Paint and hes an outstanding bull that bucked J.W. Harris off last week right at the whistle. J.W. probably would have won the event on him. War Paint should fit Cooper so hes got an excellent chance to win the round.
Ardie Maier has a bull called Blue Bucks of Chris Knapps. Hes a good bull and Ardies probably not going to win the round on him but hes got a good shot at being in the top five or seven.
The matchup of the first round is probably going to be Bonner Bolton on Nitros Carillo Cartel. Hes arguably one of the best bulls at the event. They should ride him more than they do but every time they do ride him theyre 90-something and first place. The bulls a great bull for Bonner and hes been riding well.
Craig Jackson is hard to bet against at El Paso. Hes won the event here the last two years and hes drawn a bull called Dennis the Menace for tonights round. Hes a pretty good bull but Craigs along shot to win the round. He should have a chance at being in the top six, though, which should help set him up good for the event.
Cody Teel has bucked off his last two bulls but he can change that tonight with Unfinished Business. This is a bull you can be 88 points or so on and I dont think theres any way hes going to buck off Cody Teel tonight.
El Paso is probably one of my favorite events of the year since I grew up here. We sell out every year and these fans will be as loud and rowdy as anywhere. Its going to be a fun night on the Road to Cheyenne Tour for sure.

Shailene Woodley & Brie Larson: New York Magazine MatesThey're two of Hollywood's hottest up-and-comers, and Shailene Woodley and Brie Larson have teamed up for New York Magazine's latest cover story.
The "Divergent" dame told the publication that filming sex scenes for "White Bird in a Blizzard" was quite an adventure in nakedness.
Meanwhile, Brie weighed in on her need for rejection- "Lately, I've been getting too much attention with the Met Gala and work going so well that I try to find rejection in my day. I'll seek out someone on the street or at the farmers' market and ask for something where I know they'll say no. No one likes rejection, but it's real. And I don't want to lose that feeling."
Furthermore, Ms. Woodley says she's tired of constant comparisons to Jennifer Lawrence- "As women, we are constantly told that we need to compare ourselves to a girl in school, to our co-workers, to the images in a magazine. How is the world going to advance if we're always comparing ourselves to others? I admire Jennifer Lawrence, but she's everyone's favorite person to compare me to. Is it because we both have short hair and a vagina? I see us as separate individuals. And that's important. As women, our insecurities are based on all these comparisons. And that creates distress."

Life "After" infertility. Being, becoming, midlife-ing, parenting... But no whistling.
18 June 2009
what is next
When really, this is not about now or never.
The emotional side of this journey feels so desperate so often, as if somehow urgency can change the outcome or make things clearer. When in fact, it just muddles it up.
I need to get my head and heart around the fact that this is simply about what is next.
I canceled the appointment at CCRM.
I called Boston IVF yesterday and have an appointment for tuesday for a consultation with the guy who handles many of their older patients. Their prices are not as incredibly horrific as CCRM, not immediately prohibitive, and they do work with ARC for financing. But/and the ARC prices are dependent on age and I am almost afraid to call.
So, I am gathering options, ideas, and information.
Today I will get an update on my hCG level. I have no expectations one way or the other. Meanwhile, it is CD8. My darlin' just came down with a big juicy coughing cold.
I am trying really hard not to feel thwarted or persecuted or victimized by silly and not so silly things like viruses and finances and circumstances-- this is just what it is right now.
Today I noticed the first day lily blooming bright yellow in the lush greenness that is my garden. I noticed the cat mint is covered in tiny lavender flowers. Today I am trying to slow down and pay attention to things that always help me feel more grounded, wrapping my hands around the warm mug that holds my tea, and feeling grateful for all that I do have, big and small.
A beautiful reminder from swirlygirl.

Hi Kate,
Sorry your not sure what to do. I know how you feel and I do know that now-or-never feeling. I feel it all the time!!! (even though I know I have more time, but it doesn't always feel that way!) I can't decide what to do about CCRM either. I wish I was more clear minded to just mark it out as an option... it is like I have been waiting for some sort of epiphany over here!! DH is getting impatient because he wants to be doing something (selling our house or whatever, just some decision on my part) and I have just been waiting and hoping some solid decision will come to me out of the blue. Pretty funny when you think about it, haha!
So what I am trying to say is way to go to be active and searching for solutions instead of waiting. I need to catch some of that from you ;-)
Have a good day and goodluck with everything. I know one day all your persistence will pay off!!!!

my first lily burst on Sophia's 16m birthday.... What I would have given to have her here, to ooh and ahh and touch it. Instead, I touched it and tried to imagine her little fingers there instead.
Sending you big hugs. I know this seems like one thing on top of another in this journey. It sucks.
On a funny note, I swear, one of us always starts to feel under the weather near "time". Just jump his bones anyway! ;)
Big hugs, dear Kate. Big hugs.

I am sure a cough and a cold wont stop him if you are very persuasive ;)
The desperation and urgency I can relate to, not because of my age, but because of how impatient I am! When I want something, I want it now. The waiting is what always gets to us. Hence I set myself goals, big or small, doesnt matter, it just helps the mind to focus elsewhere for a while.
I really do hope this happens for you soon! Hope the Boston clinic will work out for you.

UNDP - Training Specialist For Activities Related To Training Electoral Candidates Prior To The 2015 General Elections in Myanmar
This material is cross-posted from the Peace and Collaborative Development Network, http://internationalpeaceandconflict.org and appears to be an interesting opportunity for the Humphrey community. This is meant for information sharing purposes only.
Crossposted from UN Job List
Click here to view the original listing and apply
In November 2015, Myanmar will hold the first multi-party general elections since 1990, which will be a landmark in the country's ongoing democratic transition, and heavily scrutinized. Elections will take place for national parliament and also the 14 region/state-level parliaments in over 45,000 polling stations around the country. This year will be the first time in 25 years that a majority of the voting population will be casting a vote in an election which is closely contested between parties, and there are high expectations amongst voters that elections will be free and fair. Elections take place in the context of an ongoing peace process, with violent conflict and insecurity still prevalent in some areas, including in Kachin, Shan and parts of the South East of the country.
The Union Election Commission, which will lead the preparations for the elections, and the Myanmar Police Force have identified that nationwide, the period where outbreaks of violence are of greatest concern is the campaign period. Tensions can escalate due to a combination of misinformation, misunderstanding and lack of trust. As the 2015 general elections will see the political context becoming more contested, there is an increased need to educate, not only the population as a whole, but also political party candidates, on political and electoral processes and best practices. Although the rules and regulations are disseminated by the Union Election Commission, the historical low levels of experience, which is impacting also on the level of knowledge, of political and electoral processes combined with an increase in party registration means that they are often interpreted differently by political parties and candidates. This increases potential for disagreement and procedural dispute, undermining credibility of the elections. Ensuring that the information produced and presented is trusted by stakeholders and there is a common and clear understanding of the rules and regulations is key to creating an enabling environment for peaceful and tranquil elections.
UNDP has set up a project to support the elections which will take place in November 2015. This consultancy takes place under Output 2 of that project, which covers 'Increased understanding of roles and responsibilities of electoral stakeholders to contribute to peace and tranquil elections.' Under this output, UNDP will provide civic education to Amyotha Hluttaw candidates in 13 states and regions of Myanmar (all except Rakhine) to ensure that they better understand the election process and key rules and regulations around the various aspects of the electoral process.
This work is urgent, time sensitive, and important for successful and credible elections in Myanmar. As elections are set to take place in November, there is limited time remaining for preparations and implementation. This consultant would work closely with a Chief Technical Advisor and a small project team consisting of a UNV Election Information Officer, national officer and administrative support staff, to deliver activities in a tight timeframe, involving travel across several locations in the country, and close communication and coordination with both national and international stakeholders.
More Information about the assignment
UNDP will achieve Output 2 through four stages, which this consultancy will support.
Firstly, UNDP will develop the information material and a Training of Trainers programme, including tailor made-presentation materials to be delivered by trainees to Amyotha Hluttaw candidates at region and state level. Information materials will be developed based on existing rules and regulations for candidates, with the aim of producing a booklet that expresses these rules and regulations in a simple way that can be easily understood and is not subject to misinterpretation. The information material developed for training and distribution will require careful consultation with the UEC to ensure that they approve the material in advance. This could be time consuming and will require that relations with the UEC is maintained at a high level and working level. The Chief Technical Advisor and project team will provide support in collecting this information and in consulting the UEC.
Secondly, UNDP will identify in each region and state people who are respected members of the community who could serve as trainers, disseminating information back to political parties' candidates. A total of 26 respected community members, 2 from each region and state, will be selected to be trainers for each targeted region and state. One representative from each R/S election sub-commission will also participate in the training of these trainers. One Trainer of Trainers workshop will then be organized at the national level bringing together these respected community members and the region/state sub-commission members. In the workshops, the trainers will learn about the rules and regulations for candidates. They will be asked for their interpretation of the rules of regulations to ensure that they understand them properly and be tested on how they can deal with candidates' questions and differing interpretations and correct them as necessary. They will also be trained in presentation techniques.
Thirdly, the trainers will return to their states and regions and deliver trainings on roles and responsibilities in elections directly to candidates. Candidates running for the Amyotha Hluttaw will mainly be targeted for such training and these will be expected to further distribute information back to their fellow party candidates running for the Piythu Hluttaw and Region and State Hluttaws. The trainings will be organized under the auspices of the region and state electoral sub-commissions. The trainers will convene candidates together, make presentations and distribute the booklets on the key rules and regulations and provide guidance on how they should be interpreted, as well as further materials. The candidates will also be provided with detailed information for where to find further information, and also presented with the materials to facilitate further information sharing. The trainings will not be skills based, but only focus on transferring information, which will allow for higher numbers of participants in each event.
Lastly, UNDP will ensure further outreach to parties and candidates by distributing further booklets with the support of electoral sub-commissions and developing a Q&A on the UEC's website based on questions which candidates raise during and following the training.
Throughout the assignment, the consultant will support UNDP's inputs into coordination working groups. The consultant will also provide advice to UNDP on the existing situation and risks. The consultant will, with the support of the Chief Technical Advisor, ensure that the Union Election Commission is consistently updated as to progress.
Duties and Responsibilities
Scope of Work
The objectives of the assignment are to support the development of information and training materials, train the trainers for the transfer of this information to political party candidates, and follow up on the preparations for organizing the trainings in 13 regions and states in Myanmar. This will contribute towards peaceful and tranquil elections in November 2015. Responsibilities will include;
Design an information programme for Amyotha Hluttaw candidates which will require:
Oversee preparation for the two-day training of Trainer of Trainers workshop in Yangon (administration will be handled by the project team).Follow up and visit trainers in 13 states and regions capitals in preparation for and during the training of Amyotha Hluttaw candidates (these sessions will be organised by the trainers and the project team, not the consultant).
Support UNDP in information-sharing and coordination with national and international organizations involved in elections, particularly those supporting efforts to ensure elections are peaceful and tranquil; and
Contribute to internal UN and UNDP electoral reporting, as required by the Chief Technical Advisor.
Expected Deliverables, Target Date and payment
Institutional Arrangements
Duration of the Work
This work is urgent and extremely time-sensitive, as region and state level coordination structures and plans must be in place at least one month before the elections, which are planned for the first week of November in 2015. If consultants are not able to complete this timeframe, then the assignment would not achieve its objectives.
Duty Station
Scope of Price Proposal and Schedule of Payments

Zucchini are in season and abundant! I love this salad. I've made it three times and can now "free-style" Fattoush.It tastes so healthy and fresh. The recipe is from the July issue of Bon Appetit. I added an additional zucchini to mine. I think I may try Japanese eggplant next time.
Fattoush is a Middle Eastern take on panzanella, Italian bread salad. In fact, rustic Italian bread is a good alternative to the pita.
On the grill
3 medium orange or red bell peppers (about 1 pound), stemmed, seeded, quartered
4 to 5 slender zucchini (about 1 pound), trimmed, cut lengthwise in half
2 (5- to 6-inch) pita breads, each cut horizontally into 2 disks, or two 6x4x1/2-inch slices country white bread
Olive oil (for grilling)
For the dish
1 (8-ounce) cucumber, peeled, halved, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
12 cherry tomatoes, each halved
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup (scant) pitted Kalamata olives, halved
1/2 cup (packed) fresh mint leaves
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 4-ounce piece feta cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (scant 1 cup)
Ground sumac* (optional)
*A fruity, tangy seasoning powder made from ground dried sumac berries; available at Middle Eastern markets and from adrianascaravan.com.
Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Brush peppers, zucchini, and bread on both sides with oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Grill peppers and zucchini until slightly charred and just tender, turning often, about 6 minutes. Transfer vegetables to foil-lined baking sheet. Grill bread until lightly charred and just crisp, turning often, about 3 minutes. Transfer to sheet with vegetables and cool. Tear bread into 1-inch pieces. DO AHEAD Vegetables and bread can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
Cut peppers lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide strips, then crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut zucchini lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Place in large bowl. Add cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, olives, mint, and cilantro and toss to combine. Add bread pieces. Whisk 1/2 cup oil, lemon juice, and cumin in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Add dressing to salad; toss to coat. Add feta and gently mix into salad.
Transfer salad to large bowl. Serve, passing ground sumac for sprinkling over, if desired.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
Bon Appétit

text: I bought 10 proxies form actproxy today but they didnt provide username and password like im used to from buy proxies. I looked on the client area and didnt see any indication i could add them myself. I tried out the proxies and they worked without any user/pass so does that mean anyone could sniff them and use them or are they protected some other way?

Tips For Country Kitchen Design Ideas
If you have great deals of kitchen design suggestions in mind, there is most likely one usual aspect of them – simplicity. Many people are tempted right into bringing the country style theme in their kitchens due to the pleasant feel and look. While modern-day kitchen areas commonly have better capability, attribute enthusiasts as well as those who like the laidback kind of life, will most definitely find more happiness in these sorts of kitchen design ideas.
Just how does one design with a nation style kitchen? One of one of the most essential variables is the colors utilized in the kitchen. Those that bring in warmth and a fresh as well as tidy look are frequently suggested. Softer shades of green, yellow as well as brownish could be liked in addition to other earthly colors. To assist accomplish this result, kitchen owners will certainly commonly flower and plant information into the location with wallpapers, frames or the real thins in flower holders as well as pots.
Because country style kitchen design ideas go for the earthly appearance, the materials utilized are likewise made of those that can easily be discovered in attribute, such as timber. Such timber can be used for the furniture found in the kitchen along with various other products. The cabinets of the kitchen might really be constructed from wood along with the kitchen counters, tables and also chairs. A little couch may also be placed in the kitchen, to act as a type of lounge for the guest, however it ought to have a cover in soft shades and also possibly with blossom accents, to choose the entire motif.
Naturally, the floors of such kitchen design ideas will certainly be made of wood too. You have the selection on what sort of timber you intend to make use of as well as on what sort of finish to use on it. Just see to it that it matches the other parts of the kitchen and also not look out of location.

We are living in the most exciting time in the history of mankind. The last century has seen unprecedented improvements in the quality of the human condition and technology is at the heart of this progress. Now we are experiencing an even bigger leap as we move towards a new level of digitisation and automation. Ranging from self-driving cars to factories without workers to societal infrastructure, every sensor and actuator is becoming connected and new applications that enable new opportunities are appearing daily. The fuel of this emerging connected, software-driven reality is software and the key challenge is to continuously deliver value to customers. The future of software engineering in this context is centered around three main developments: Speed, Data and Ecosystems. The focus on speed is concerned with the constantly increasing rate of deploying new software in the field. This continuous integration and deployment is no longer only the purview of internet companies but is also increasingly deployed in embedded systems. Second, data is concerned with the vast amounts of information collected from systems deployed in the field and the behavior of the users of these systems. The software-intensive systems industry needs to significantly improve its ability to exploit the value present in that data. Finally, ecosystems are concerned with the transition in many companies from doing everything in-house to strategic use of innovation partners and commodity providing partners. The keynote addresses these three main developments, provides numerous examples from the Nordic and international industry and predicts the next steps that industry and academia need to engage in to remain competitive.

Ericsson has collaborated with academia regarding research on Global Software Engineering (GSE) over the last 8 years. The key focus of the research has been to evaluate different strategies to distributing software development across multiple geographical locations. The results include guidelines and lessons learned on software transfers and distributed development. Furthermore, case studies have been conducted to determine how efficient different strategies are. This talk will summarize this research from an industry-partner perspective. It will also provide some recommendations on considerations for researchers to make to be successful with industrial case studies.
Gudrun Svensson Ph.D, is senior lecturer in Swedish as a second language at the Linnaeus University in Växjö. For many years she taught Swedish as a second language, Swedish and English at upper secondary level. At present she is active in teacher training, in-service training and skills development in the field.
Doctor Svensson has done research into linguistic variation in multilingual environments but today she aims her research at in-field studies of mutlilingualism in cooperation with teachers and students. An increasing focus for her studies is translanguaging as an element in all school subjects.
Based on research into successful learning of a second language she is also involved in the development of digital learning tools in Swedish as a second language.
The educational adventure game Sweet City is developed by Universal Learning Games in cooperation with Gudrun Svensson, a language researcher at the Linnaeus University.
The linguistic construction of the game emanates from two language learning principles, Total Physical Response (Asher 1988) implemented in the game through an avatar that gives the learner the opportunity to monitor his or her own learning, and Translanguaging (i.e. Williams 1996) with the concept that all languages that an individual has access to are part of a common well of linguistic experiences. Thus, all linguistic development relies on previous experience which is a support for learning and memory.
In Sweet City this support is implemented by the opening of labels with key words and central concepts that are tied to phenomena in the game, and can be used by the player to create meaning and perform the required assignments. By doing this, languages and actions are closely tied to each other.
Game play is designed for receptive language ability with oral and written dialogues that are to be listened to and read in order to perform assigned quests. The dialogues can be repeated and the player can choose support from labels with heritage languages common in Swedish schools: Tigrinya, Arabic, Dari, Somali and also the widespread English. As in all adventure games there are dangers to overcome, problems to solve, items to sell and buy, points and money to earn. There is a special display where the student, the teacher and a researcher can monitor the use of labels, time spent, repetitions, performed actions and the results of special check points which hint at the student's overall comprehension of the story in the game.
