5 Simple Techniques For check car insurance policy malaysia
A single annoying automobile challenge not realised right up until first prevent at Puerto Morelos – the central locking didn't perform along with the drivers doorway could not be opened manually with the vital. This was not pointed out at pickup.
Don't be too worried about driving in that Section of Mexico, you can be just great — and you'll truly get pleasure from with the ability to generate to Chichen Itza, Valladolid, and Tulum! As for your time and energy in Cancun, it depends upon just how much you are likely to examine while you are in Cancun and where you are keeping.
Posted at 21:17h, 22 January Reply Many thanks for sharing your Tale Tyrell. Glad to hear which you loved your road trip all-around Mexico, but bummed to listen to about that charge on your card – crazy!
I hope this helps. You should let's know When you have every other questions or operate into problems. It's generally excellent to present an update, as companies can improve after a while. Cheers!
Just allow us to know – we're right here that will help you by building your excursion organizing less difficult, far more fun, and less expensive!
Posted at 06:21h, 05 March Reply Many see this website thanks for sharing your story Lawrence – I'm sorry to listen to that. How outrageous! I don't know Substantially about rental auto options while in the Cabo spot of Mexico, but I would endorse any individual renting to inquire specifically about the expense of the additional insurance in advance. You may additionally be far better off going that has a Mexican automobile rental organization instead of an American a person (running being a franchise in Mexico).
They ended up really excellent and the costs had been so a great deal more reasonable than what we had quoted out anyplace else.
Posted at seventeen:14h, thirteen September Reply Thanks for this super beneficial submit! I am scheduling on leasing an auto Once i am in Tulum to go to the Coba ruins and when in Merida to go to Uxmal and one other bordering ruins.
General, if you can website link up with someone that is informed about the world or a colleague of an acquaintance who life there, then that may be most valuable. Using a community on the facet to help you might be a large profit, particularly when your Spanish is tough.
They may be just an agent with compaies like Fox. We rented the car in Cacun Airport with 3rd party insurance involved for 9 days $ forty nine US. They send out us to Mex-Fox counter. Even that my Own insurance with my golden credir card was covering the theft and damages to the vehicle, Fox informed us that they were being obliged to demand us together with other $ 357 US for an other the 3rd party responsabilty which was not refunded.
your details give a apparent picture of the process. We are going to Cancun once again in Mar 2015. Will consider american rental and will be additional resources reseraching a little a lot more on this automobile rental predicament.
I also utilised The usa Vehicle Rental immediately after comprehensive exploration, although it had been from their downtown Cancun premises, not the airport. The vehicle was booked on-line from your British isles (Scotland) to get a seven working day rental period but returning it on the off-site airport area.
. If you do not have evidence that you've got this insurance and also you materialize to enter into an accident, Irrespective of how slight, you are able to be taken to your Mexican jail until finally the law enforcement can figure out who was at fault (and who is familiar with how long which will get).
Posted at 06:31h, 25 January visit this site Reply Hi Gene – thanks for looking through and for that remark. The full price will range enormously depending on numerous elements – like any time you go, for how much time, which kind of automobile, and whether the cost incorporates the demanded legal responsibility insurance.

Escaping continuations
by Matthias Puech
Beta had a funny joke at POPL last year; he said: "you exit a monad like you exit a building on fire: by running". I recently got myself in the stressful situation of being trapped in a monad—the continuation monad—but without a possibility to "run". There an exit nonetheless: just jump out! This is the (short) story of an escape.
A seemingly inescapable monad
Say we have a continuation monad, but its answer type
o is fixed in advance:
type o type 'a m = ('a -> o) -> o let ret : 'a. 'a -> 'a m = fun v k -> k v let bind : 'a 'b. 'a m -> ('a -> 'b m) -> 'b m = fun x f k -> x (fun v -> f v (fun v -> k v))
Usually, we consider
o, the type of final answers to CPS, to be universally quantified, so that it can be instantiated to whatever we want. Then, as usual, we can run the computation by applying the identity continuation, i.e. we can instantiate type
o with
let run : 'a. 'a m -> 'a = fun f -> f (fun x -> x)
But here, we specified explicitly that
o was not our choice but was fixed (it is abstract), so the previous line gives a typing error: the identity function is not a valid continuation to give to our monadic value. I have seen this situation when using delimited continuations: the answer type gets instantiated when you use a local effect somewhere in your program. For instance, one-pass transformations are of this form; their type is in the lines of
exp -> (triv -> ser) -> ser (
triv is for trivial term,
ser for serious term), because when they return from their final continuation, they must be in the context of a serious term.
Taking the Midnight Express
What to do then? how do you run a CPS computation when you cannot choose the answer type? Well, there is a way out, involving exceptions: instead of the identity continuation, pass a "trick continuation" that, when called at the end of the computation, will jump out of it (raise an exception) and return to a top-level exception handler. If the initial continuation is actually called, and in the dynamic scope of the exception handler, then we'll have our result. Here it is:
let jump : 'a 'b. ('a -> 'b m) -> 'a -> 'b = fun (type b) f x -> let module M = struct exception E of b end in try ignore (f x (fun x -> raise (M.E x))); failwith "f was not pure" with M.E i -> i
A local exception is defined, which contains a value of the return type
b. This exception is eventually raised in the initial continuation, and the actual return value of function
f is ignored, because it is not supposed to return anymore.
So, as you see,
jump is turning a function defined in CPS,
f, into an "equivalent" direct style function,
jump f. Careful! It is equivalent if
f is applying its initial continuation, i.e. if
f has a pure, direct style counterpart. Otherwise, e.g. if
f drops its continuation at one point, then the exception might not be raised,
f might terminate and
jump f fail with my error
Failure("f was not pure").
Let's define the function λx. (x + 1) = 0 in CPS and then test it on 1:
let isz x = ret (x=0) let succ x = ret (x+1) let () = assert (jump (fun x -> bind (succ x) isz) 0 = false)
I can even use
callcc in my programs, which proves that some effects are actually OK:
let callcc : 'a 'b. (('a -> 'b m) -> 'a m) -> 'a m = fun f k -> f (fun v x -> k v) (fun v -> k v) let () = assert (jump (fun x -> callcc (fun k -> bind (k x) (fun v -> ret (1 + v)))) 1 = 1)
What I cannot do is instantiate
o and bypass the initial continuation:
type o = An_inhabitant let () = ignore (jump (fun x k -> An_inhabitant) 1)
This last example raises the exception
Failure("f was not pure")
Open questions
Now my questions to you, acute and knowledgeable reader, are:
- First, is this
jumpoperator as well-behaved as I think? Precisely what kind of effects can trigger an error? Also, can we make the exception
M.Eescape its scope?
- Secondly, what does this mean, on the other side of the Curry-Howard looking glass? How can I interpret this result proof-theoretically?
jumpis a theorem close to, but weaker than double negation elimination it seems.

Danville's historical theater reopens after more than 20 years
DANVILLE, Ill. (WCCU) —
The lights are on, the doors are open and the show will go on -- community members got a first look inside the renovated Fischer Theater Friday evening. A landmark in the Danville community, the Fischer Theater opened its doors for the first time in 1884, and after a face lift the curtains reopened, more than 20 years after its last show.
"It's been a long process," co-director of DACC Players, Phillip Langley said. "The auditorium needed a lot of cleaning, a lot of updating, a lot of modernizing so we've been working since June to get the auditorium ready, to get the stage ready, to make the facilities ready for the public and for the shows."
The Danville Area Community College Players kicked off the renovated theater's first event – "The Rocky Horror Show."
"This theater is iconic Danville," Langley said. "It's the last movie palace we have left, it's the last grand theater that is left in the city of Danville and we want to preserve it and we want to show the community its usefulness, its beauty and its viability to make Danville shine."
The Vermilion Heritage Foundation board said the vision of the theater's renovation started about 5 years ago.
"Takes a lot of money and a lot of time to put something like this together," board member, Jim Wood said. "But we had great cooperation from a lot of people."
The board held a fundraiser Thursday evening to support the theater's future renovations. The community helped raise more than $4,000.
"There's a feeling that something is finally going to happen here," Wood said. "No matter what kind of event is happening downtown if the marquee is on and it's lit then there's excitement just from it alone."
The Rocky Horror Show will also run Saturday evening, the next two weekends and on Halloween.

A Ferndale mother imprisoned not long ago to fail to take after a court request to inoculate her child is battling to shield him from being additionally immunized. Rebecca Bredow will backpedal before Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Karen McDonald and will expedite a specialist inoculation with her, as indicated by a Detroit Free Press report.
Bredow burned through five days in prison on a disdain charge for damaging McDonald's request. In her governing, the judge said she had a background marked by settling on kid raising choices without assent from her ex, James Horne.
"I comprehend you adore your youngsters. However, what I don't think you comprehend is that your child has two guardians, and father gets a say," said McDonald. "It's unmistakable to me that you couldn't care less about requests regardless of the possibility that you consent to them, which you did. Your lawyer marked that request."
McDonald conceded transitory authority to him and requested the kid to be appropriately immunized. The judge later requested the tyke invest rise to energy living with Bredow and Horne. As a component of her new demand, Bredow needs to return to the authority game plan, the Free Press detailed.
A court date has not yet been planned. Bredow's endeavors are being upheld by Michigan for Vaccine Choice, a Troy-based non-benefit association. What's more, another supporter is helping her fiscally by means of a group subsidizing site, GoGetFundingdotcom. As of Friday, $2,648 had been raised of a $10,000 objective.

If you're a student, then you'll know that the government last year announced plans to scrap university maintenance grants (beginning in 2016). If you don't know this then you're not very good at being a student. No more 'free money'; therein university is no longer inaccessible to the poorest in society; therein university is becoming more elitist and so on. True to an extent. However, the problem here is not that the grants have been scrapped; it's the lack something else in their place.
The grant system in general is extremely out-dated. The parameters for determining how much grant a student will get are very basic. I have received a grant myself, and there is much more to consider than simply income. I can't tell you what it should be replaced with as I'm no economist. But there must be better ways to determine who are the most deserving of grants.
I am not a Tory supporter. At all. But let's remember, though maintenance grants are gone, money will now be there – just in the form of a loan. Those who require extra money are not being stripped of it completely. Remember tuition fees being raised? I was against them (and I still am, to some extent). Remember how no-one would want to go to university anymore and it was the beginning of austerity, and higher-education was a neutron star about to collapse in on itself spectacularly? Well, it didn't turn out so bad did it? Lots of people, perhaps too many (see two paragraphs down) still go to university.
We humans are silly in nature. Always wanting the end result, but not willing to suffer any hardship to get there. Remember the recession? That was pretty awful. Not something we'd like to repeat. Cuts needed making and some were going to feel the force of them more than others. Again – I'm no Tory sympathiser. The cuts made were too drastic and in the wrong areas. Nevertheless, I am bored of this human culture that seeks some kind of economic paradise – a haven of global financial stability that involves to struggle to reach. It's simply not real.
And hey, a few less people going to university may actually raise the stock of a degree. The vast majority of teens are pushed through the bottleneck of university nowadays. I have a friend who now works for an estate agency and, though I love university, it has been very refreshing to see someone forge a path for themselves in life without the rudimentary degree. 'When everyone's super, no-one will be' said the fictional super baddie from Pixar's the Incredibles, and when that sentiment is substituted with your average student trying to break free from the shackles of a higher education, and consequently the value behind a degree diminishes. 'When everyone has a degree, no-one will give a crap about them anymore' is an example of potential future attitudes. This is degree-based inflation, people. Maybe scrapping the maintenance grants will put a stop to this.
Lets' give the new system a fair crack. Then, afterwards, we can complain if we hate it.

This wedding was a collision of two worlds. Alexandra is from England and Brendan from Australia. All of their loved ones came to celebrate, which made the day so special. The ceremony took place at the Glassy Mountain Chapel here in South Carolina which was stunning and it could not have been a more perfect day for a wedding.
Brendan and Alex,
Like I told you guys while we were taking portraits, photographing your wedding was so much fun because of how flexible you guys were and how you allotted so much time for photos and being in the moment with your friends. I wish you guys all the best and if my family and I are ever down under, we will have to hang out!

TTGL – Thoughts on Gurren-hen and Lagann-hen
February 5, 2010
Filed under kame-chan, Quick Thoughts
The separation between mini Simon and older (and hawt) Simon has arrived.
Since Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann: Lagann-hen subbed recently came out, I decided to watch both of the movies, TTGL: Gurren-hen and TTGL: Lagann-hen, in one sitting. TTGL: Gurren-hen covers the anime from episode 1 to episode 15 while TTGL: Lagann-hen covers the after story. I love the anime already so I wanted to see how the movies came out since it's just the episodes condensed into 2 hours.
TTGL: Gurren-hen: Clear on the plot and the characteristics of some of the characters. Wasn't completely smooth with the gradual increase of members of the Dai Gurren-dan crew. The short breaks that were added in when a change of pace was needed were alright, however, it seemed like it was the only way to do a transition. Though, I'll admit that I give them kudos for the way they merged the episodes together since it clearly wasn't easy. Overall, it's possible to understand the main plot and the purpose of their journey. I still cried at the parts that I'm supposed to cry, so it's still good.
TTGL: Lagann-hen: Another one that's clear on the plot and the characteristics of the characters. Lagann-hen seems like it has better flow than Gurren-hen and the short breaks were taken out this time. Other perspectives were added to the movie that was not in the anime (according to my memory) which made it flow better. Lagann-hen made me notice I love the second part of the series better than the first. The battles and drama are still amazing as well as the suspense. Overall, I liked how Lagann-hen was condensed better than Gurren-hen.
I'm glad that they decided to split the two time periods of TTGL into two movies. I was quite worried that condensing the episodes will diminish the awesomeness known as Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann, but it wasn't too bad. Of course, if you want more detail in the characters or more suspense (since episodes are only 30 minutes long), you should definitely watch the anime. If you have watched the anime, then watch it again! "Believe in the you who believes in you."

For the second week in a row, the viewing public is blessed with some high-quality quarterback play in the Thursday night matchup.
Last week the brilliance of Aaron Rodgers was on full display, and this week's game has the legend Tom Brady against the talented 23-year-old Jameis Winston.
The wager: New England Patriots at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+5.5)
While Brady has been his usual masterful self this season, the Patriots' defense has been an absolute nightmare through four weeks. It currently sits last in the NFL after allowing 32 points per contest, and is coming in off a 33-30 home loss to the Carolina Panthers. A short week with a road trip to face the league's third-best passing attack doesn't seem like it's the cure the Patriots need right now.
Tampa Bay barely squeezed out a home win against the New York Giants last weekend in a game that was much closer than it should have been. With Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson, Adam Humphries, Cameron Brate, and O.J. Howard in full flight, Winston has a number of options in the passing game that could have big days against the Patriots.
With the level Brady is playing at, there's no doubt that the Patriots are going to put up points. The Buccaneers' offense is no slouch, however, and with the struggles of the New England defense, it's best to take the points in this contest. Patriots 30, Buccaneers 28
Thursday picks record: 3-1

Newsroom at Clear Capital : Market Report: "Prices Experience Positive Start to 2011
Since Jan. 1, 2011, national home prices have experienced the first positive gains since mid-August 2010 (0.9% in the first three weeks of 2011).
National quarterly decline of 1.6 percent is a significant improvement from November's quarterly decline of 5.8 percent, further indicating a halting of price drops.
The year-over-year national decline continued downward, but only marginally, with the yearly price change reaching -4.3 percent through January, down from the -4.1 percent reported last month.
National home price declines reversed their downward trend this month, with the current rolling quarter-over-quarter declines (-1.6% price change) leveling off near zero. All regions except the West experienced flattening quarterly price changes."

Doll Bones
DOLL BONES by Holly Black. Audio by BOT/Listening Library. Narrated by Nick Podehl. .
Even though I am not serving on an audio committee, I still enjoy listening to audio on my commutes. Nick Podehl's narration of DOLL BONES achieves just the right level of creepiness as the tale of a doll that is more than simply a be china doll. As Zach and Poppy, and Alice undertake their quest, their friendship is teetering on the brink of extinction. Perhaps this journey will pull them back together to the friends they once were. The story is a mystery adventure combined with elements of a ghost story and perhaps even a touch of peculiar possession. This would be a terrific read aloud (or you could play a chapter a day as well). It is certainly one that deserves a booktalk early in the school year.

Photo by Via Chicago user Högsta Domstolen.
Every year, for Second City, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy lets people bid on Living Room shows, where he actually goes to someone's house and plays a very intimate acoustic show. Well, he did one the other night (April 4th), and members of Via Chicago were there, and Jeff was nice enough to play them 11 new Wilco songs, not acoustic, but over the speakers as the real thing. However, the (still untitled) record was unmastered and the tracklist is not confirmed, but its simply an order Tweedy threw together. Quotes, the "tracklist", and the setlist from the show are after the jump.
Supposed order, from bbop:
01. Wilco the Song
02. Bull Black Nova
03. One Wing
04. You and I
05. Solitaire
06. You Never Know
07. Conscript/I'll Fight
08. Deeper Down
09. My Country Disappeared
10. Sonny Feeling
11. Everlasting Everything
Quotes on the sound of the new album from Via Chicago users:
"In my opinion, this album does not sound like Sky Blue Sky."
"I was excited for the album to be released before, but after hearing it last night, the 2.5 month wait feels excruciating. I agree with Brianne: I don't think it sounds like SBS. I also don't think it gives off a "strong country vibe" as Rolling Stone suggested. I love Sky Blue Sky, and I love what I heard last night. They are not, however, alike."
"Agreed. The "country" tag probably came from the handful of songs with Nels on the slide, but if that's country, I'd like to know which country we're talking about (or planet, even)."
"There are some really interesting sounds on the new album… I really enjoyed it! It is full of really lush layers .. everyone in the band stands out on the songs at different points. "
"It was a real treat to hear the new album. I honestly can't do it justice after only one listen, but June can't come soon enough. Some very cool, intense songs that will be amazing live. Poppier than the last album (which I love), and like Wilco's entire catalogue, totally unique. Don't expect another SBS, YHF or Summerteeth. Don't expect a cherry to taste like a pear. A "beginner's mind" will not disappoint."
"You and I is a vocal sharing duet, not a vocal trading duet – if that makes sense. Somehow before we listened I'd been imagining the latter, so I was a little surprised when I asked what they'd do for Feist's parts live, and Jeff said "Not sing them?" Now I understand."
"If I'm remembering correctly, it's Spiders-esque. Not quite as heavy-sounding, if that makes any sense, but definitely influenced by Neu! and the like. The Krautrock lives!"
"I don't think I can make any particularly insightful comments about Glenn's percussion after one listen. There aren't any crazy drum solos that I remember, like on Let's Not Get Carried Away or something like that. It just sounds like Glenn (although I heard that Jeff mentioned to someone at the show, at a specific point — I'm not sure where — that a particular sound had come from Glenn throwing a beanbag against a wall or something).
As far as the sound, knowing that one of the band's goals was to use the studio more as an instrument, I think they succeeded at that. I'm not sure if it's because of the overdubs or what, but to me there was a "layered" element that maybe wasn't as present on, say, Sky Blue Sky, which, if I'm not mistaken, was mostly played live in the studio.
Someone had told me he thought this record was a natural progression of everything that has come before. I didn't really understand what he meant at the time, but I get that a little more now. It's not radically different than what this lineup has produced, but it doesn't necessarily seem like more of the same either."
"I will say this, I think there is a little bit more of a pop element on this record that maybe was missing from the past couple of efforts. A couple of songs are really catchy, and I mean that in a good way."
"There were chimes in at least two songs."
"I'd agree with the layering mentioned previously. There was a lot going on in some of the songs, in a good way, and I'm really eager to listen again and pick out more specifics. It's a little overwhelming to take in on first listen, with one of the album's creators sitting behind you. There are also phrases I keep remembering from some songs, and I want to get more of the story. And the stuff I remember seems a little dark – from S(u/o)nny Feeling and Bull Black Nova."

Plugging away since 1999, The National finally hit mainstream success with the release of their 2010 album High Violet. Of course, this entailed their first world tour, but in the new documentary Mistaken For Strangers, it's only the backdrop for the relationship between lead singer Matt Berninger and his younger brother Tom, who had no idea that these short videos he was shooting would turn into a public document of their troubled, if still loving brotherhood.
We talk with Israeli rockers Vaadat Charigim about some of their favorite records.
We talk with Yvonne Ambree and Jesse Barnes of Take Berlin about some of the records which influenced the recording of their debut EP, Lionize.

What to do with more orphan blocks?
When I taught sampler quilt classes I would have to make the same block several times. I came up with a way to use these blocks. I used similar fabrics in each block and put full blocks and parts of blocks together to make a new design that could stand on it's own.
Panchatantra is made up of one full block and 4 partial blocks. By making careful choices of fabric placement it is hard to see where one block ends and another begins. This is why I added the yellow and green outlines for you to see this. (In private collection)
Minarets was done with the same group of fabrics in a similar manner.
You can see how I used a whole block in the center, 4 half blocks around the edge and 4 quarter blocks in the corners to make this quilt.
Both of these have been enriched by using a border print to frame them. These are both hand quilted.
I'm using my favorite cut, lizards for tonight's Minarets puzzle.

On How To Get People To Make Out
I've recently started reading Apartment Therapy - like my subscription to Domino, it makes for great when I have any money for my apartment daydreaming. They're in the midst of a wonderful series on Party Architecture (partitechture?), and if you ever throw parties (if, say, you have an apartment that can hold more than six people), it's a must-read.
Today's post is on lighting, which I think is the most important point. (Other chapters: density, structure, and coming next, flow.) I don't care if a party's a little crowded, or oddly set-up, but a poorly-lit (which means too well-lit) party is the kiss of death. I can't exactly email the article to the people I know need it - I'm resigned to walking around their apartment at parties and shutting off lamps - but I think it's a good read for everyone.
I've learned two lessons in my (abruptly terminated by moving from a spacious college apartment to New York) party-throwing history. One, don't serve candy corn. I don't care if it's Halloween, and I don't care how tasty they are. You will be scraping it off the kitchen floor with a butter knife for the better part of the next day. And two, keep things dark. People go to parties for approximately one reason: to meet people to make out with. Everyone looks hotter in the dark, and it's really hard to make out with a stranger under a klieg light.

Amazing Goal by Maicon (Porto)
Hub Brazilian defender Maicon has accomplished a goal that is rarely seen on football fields. In his introduction to the team B of Porto in Portugal, he has scored a goal against Oliveirense team from a distance - believe it or not - of 60 meters. After his return from a serious injury, the footballer recently returned to the area and took part in the team's second game to improve physical form. Who knows maybe this goal will help to return to the lineup holder Portuguese giants.

Speaking of salvation, the Duggars are coming to town! I haven't been so excited since Cactus opened for Rod Stewart at the Canton City Auditorium. They'll appear at the First Christian Church on June 1. The show is free, but shades of PT Barnum, they're taking up a freewill collection. Congrats to the vast majority of Reppies for giving this road trip their thumbs down. Even stopped clocks are right twice a day!
Reality TV Show Family with 18 Kids to Visit Canton
Canton Resident
The Duggars sicken me. From my understanding, they are debt free, which is great but they also have a tv show and I am sure they get paid for this. Why would they need donations? Have you seen their house? Why are they driving from Arkansas to Canton. Only to get free stuff? I would be ashamed to produce that many children, and then go around the country begging for donations. You have to get a free ticket to see the woman that had 18 kids. This sounds like a freak show.
The press release cum article doesn't say what the Duggars will do, and the online church calendar doesn't list the show. From the looks of the picture, though, their family orchestra might just perform. Expect the elder Duggars to try to fill your quivers. Just don't point one at I Hate Canton!
Because I Hate Canton remembers when the First Christian Church was a respectable pillar of the community (RIP Rev. Welshimer), not Willow Creek Community - Canton, we present the First Christian Church with the May 20, Village Idiot Award.
Embbeding is disabled on this (no pun intended) but go here for a really irritating 2 1/2 minutes of Michelle Duggar & family.

As summer begins its decent into fall. young adults across America cringe at the inevitable event that rears its ugly head yet again: college. Yes, I said it, college. See college is not just school. School is the mandatory law, college is more like voluntary punishment. School is close to home, and familiar; college is galexies away and foreign. School requires attendance, college requires perseverance. School is a test, college is a battlefield. Looking toward the future of borrowing more money you can't pay back and spending money on textbooks that you'll use once will have the majority of people wondering, is college worth it? Well is it? Here's my thought:
Education vs Experience
Why should anyone go to class yet alone college when everything you can ever learn is google-able?! In a sense going to college is a lot like going to your individual college classes. Yes, on the syllabus your professor makes it abundantly clear that in order to get the most from this course, you must attend every class. Now, even the best and the brightest of college students thinks this is a little excessive. I mean, why would I attend every class if the entire course is practically online? Worksheets, textbooks, sometimes even midterm and final exams can all be found by typing in one sample question into google (hi there, Quizlet!) If the entire class is accessible online, why would the teacher make attendance mandatory? Well, first, it's hard to teach a class full of empty chairs, but second and most importantly, your professor promises you the most from this class, which is experience, and that's why he or she urges you to attend.
See, it's not the education that the teacher necessarily wants you to have, (cause let's face it university itself is like 100% available on Google) it's the experience that comes from engaging in discussions and debating ideas that you cannot learn from sitting in your room on your laptop coping and pasting answers from Quizlet to your test sheet. It's the questions you ask that even make the teacher think, or the group project that forced you to be a team player, or the disagreements about issues that allowed you to understand another person's worldview or culture; it's these things that must be done in the classroom. It's these moments that your professor doesn't want you to miss out on, whether you have an A on the class or are barely pulling a C minus.
The same can be said about the college experience as a whole. Why should you spend thousands of dollars over the four years on books, and club dues, and room and board if the classes are google-able. your roommate sucks and your professor is a tenured prick? Well. it's not the education that's necessarily worth it all the time (when you get your first real job your freshman year GPA becomes irrelevant) but the experience that's priceless. You can't put a price on learning a new skill, developing a talent, or making a friend. Internship opportunities, roommate bonding, community service trips, and greek life are all college experiences that you won't get back once their gone. No one is arguing against the fact that college in the United States is criminally expensive, but it is, for all intents and purposes, in the long run, very much worth it.

It was on this date in 1876 that Alexander Graham Bell conducted the first successful experiment on a radical new technology. He put a "transmitter" in one room of his home and a "receiver" in another. He connected them with wire. He then shouted into the mouthpiece of the transmitter, "Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you."
A moment later, his assistant, who had been waiting in the room with the receiver, came into Bell's room and said he had heard and understood everything.
The experiment was a success, and just a few days later Bell received the patent for the worlds first Long-Distance Watson Summonsing Device.
The invention didn't enjoy much commercial success because the market for persons with out-of-earshot assistants named Watson was not as large as Bell had hoped, but it did serve as a major stepping-stone to one of Bell's most significant inventions, the Watson Detonator

The State owned Communist Newpaper reports that the Czech foreign minister Jan Masaryk was thrown from a window at his apartment in Prague under mysterious circumstances.
Authorities rule his death was a "suicide" and then decide to rule the death as accidentally because he seems to have "fallen while sitting in a yoga position on a window sill to combat insomnia". But most likely he was suffocated first, judging from the fact that he had lost control of his bowels.
I hate when that happens.

The Role of Olfaction in the Feeding Behavior of Human Neonates
Chemical cues have been implicated in the feeding behavior of species belonging to all five classes of vertebrates, including (perhaps most surprisingly) birds (Burghardt, 1990; Roper, 1999; Stoddart, 1980). In various mammals, olfaction plays a critical role in the mediation of sucking and milk ingestion by neonates. This is illustrated by the severe deficits in nipple localization and attachment displayed by rat and mouse pups following olfactory bulbectomy (Cooper and Cowley, 1976; Risser and Slotnick, 1987) or peripheral destruction of the nasal olfactory receptors by infusions of zinc sulfate solution (Singh et al., 1976). Similar adverse effects were observed in young rabbits when their mother's nipples were covered with a thin rubber film (Distel and Hudson, 1985), and in rat pups after the dam's ventrum had been thoroughly washed (Teicher and Blass, 1976). The significance of the odor of mother's milk and breasts for successful human nursing has been suspected for centuries. For example, a survey of documents written by medical authorities between 1500–1800, found that 55% of the authors who discussed necessary attributes of wet nurses' breast milk included «good smell» as a required quality (Fildes, 1986). As seen below, such early beliefs are supported by recent empirical evidence indicating that components of the typical pattern of behavior involved in effective breastfeeding by newborn humans are activated and directed by maternal odors.

EAST FLATBUSH, Brooklyn — A community is in mourning after a beloved deli clerk was shot and killed in East New York Tuesday evening. And this isn't the first time a deadly incident has taken place inside this bodega.
"He was an innocent man. He didn't deserve to die."
That's all friends and family could say as they left the 797 Deli Wednesday afternoon.
The group of men were still visibly upset after they gathered behind locked gates inside the store where just one night earlier 80-year-old Abdulla Yafaee was fatally shot in the chest.
"He was very nice friendly to everybody they like him very much," said Mukhtar Ali, a friend and former co-worker at the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens deli where Yafaee used to work. "He used to come and visit before he passed on."
Ali says he moved about 10 years ago and was just as beloved in his new community.
"If you was short on something he would give you the money, or not give you the money, but let you go. He never argued with anybody, he never had any drama so this is shocking," said one woman who lived by the deli.
But this isn't the first incident at the deli. Four years ago another deli worker died from a heart attack during a robbery and just last year a worker had to fend off a would-be robber with a baseball bat.
A person is currently being questioned by police.
If you have any information, police ask that you call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.

Adelaide 0-2 Melbourne
To say that I am disappointed with the way Adelaide played would be a gross understatement. Spineless. Once again, we soiled ourselves as soon as we saw that big 'V' on the opposition shirts. It's frustrating watching our defenders cowering in abject terror whenever the ball falls at Archie Thompson's feet.
The refereeing was craptastic, but I'm not going to try to blame the result on that corrupt blind sonofabitch in the middle, even though he's (in my completely objective and well-considered opinion) completely unfit to officiate a wet T-shirt contest, let alone a football match. Even if it were a wet T-shirt contest, he'd probably still give it to Muscat.
The personnel choices were suitably bizarre - Cristiano on the bench until the 70th minute? Valkanis desperately shuffling around in the backline watching Thompson and Allsopp, and even Tubs Hernandez, breeze past him at will? Ridiculous. Marrone was a deer in the headlights, as was Mullen. Alemao gave the ball away at every opportunity. Pantelis' first touch was diabolical. Barbiero, Dodd and Agostino were mostly invisible. I feel for Ago especially - how many times were balls hoofed up for him to flick on to nobody? BALLS TO FEET, Vidmar you bum.
I think I've worked out the root of the problem, though. Nothing to do with tactics, refereeing, or anything else: simply, Adelaide United literally forgot how to play football during their two weeks off. You know, the basics: pass to teammate rather than opposition; play the ball, not the man; object of game = score goals while keeping opponent's goals out....
Galekovic/Ognenovski/Sarkies/Jamieson/Reid: Hold your heads up - you deserved better for your efforts. Everyone else & Vidmar: Go back to football school and learn how to play the game. Take some notes this time. Good work, you lazy, uncoordinated schmucks. You spoiled my night.
But, we're only halfway, there's still another leg yadayadayada. Sorry, but 3 goals in Tardistan just ain't gonna happen. If we get to the Grand Final we'll have to do it the hard way.

Ha, thanks Jonk! I don't know what Adelaide have to do to ever beat Melbourne, but so far we definitely haven't been doing it. Did you make the trip across? Great turnout by the Melbourne fans.

Once it became clear that we were not going to get anything out of this game (approximately 15 minutes in), I started hoping that we would catch a glimpse of Rostyn Griffiths. Disappointed again. Perhaps Griffiths on dabue would have provided us with enough heart to pull a goal back

Yeah, would be a very brave call throwing on a kid who only arrived in the country a few days ago ahead of somebody who's been training & playing with AUFC all year though.

Bill got drunk and lay on the sofa staring at the maid that came to clean up the mess he made of the room.
She wore a blue apron and a short dress that barely covered her black panties revealing a couple of seductive hips.
Unable to restrain his passion, he walked into the bathroom and attacked her holes and was almost ready to cum when the girls\' old neighbor interrupted their orgy.
Luckily, he decided to join Matthew instead of helping the girl and immediately thrust his cock up her little pink.
Angered with failure of the deal and his behavior, Jennifer was going to leave, but he didn\'t let her go.
Ann went out of the bathroom and was shocked to find two burglars scouring her bedroom. One of the burglars gagged her mouth and started pulling off her bathrobe, while the other one held her legs removing her panties.
That\'s what Susanna thought walking across a lovely meadow and breathing mild warm air.
Suddenly she noticed a mature guy sitting in tall grass and gazing at her with a hostile glance.
Pleasure turned in astonishment and then in fear, when his thick finger popped her cherry, but his strong hands didn\'t let her go until he has fully enjoyed her gorgeous flesh!
When both succeeded, they started penetrating her mouth and pussy and didn\'t stop till both holes were stuffed with cum.
Campus life is fun and it opens great opportunities to meet sexy girls, date and fuck them, but Tom and Andy had another plans for Joanna.
All pictures presented by third parties by thier good will.
Trisha enjoyed hot sauna and then called the masseur.

Our Relay event is fast approaching. We are holding our ceremony on June 10. I have only raised $180 so far, but that doesn't have my recent fundraiser included. So, this is me asking for donations. If you would like to make a donation to the American Cancer Society, please go here to help out. This is my personal page, the money goes straight to the American Cancer Society. If you would like, you can even donate "in memory of" a loved one or "in honor of" a loved one. We do a beautiful luminary service. If you donate in the luminary section, a bag will be made. The luminary bags is only a $10 donation. I'm making 5 this year for my friend that died last year of lung cancer. I'm putting Zach's handprints on one, letting Lilly decorate one, putting "in memory of Mary Bowen" on one and I don't know about the other 2 just yet. Feel free to go to the site. Click here to go to my personal page to make a donation. It doesn't have to be for a luminary, it could just be a donation. Your donation will go towards my goal, but will go directly to ACS. Take a look around the site. This specific link is to my county's Relay, but you can search further. Maybe you'll find an event near you.
If you donate to make a luminary, you can tell me how you would like it decorated in the comment section of this post, I'll take a picture and post it on my blog. If you just make it "in memory of" or "in honor of" someone, but don't tell me here in the comments how you'd like it decorated, I will just write "in memory" or "in honor" of the someone you listed during your donation process. I'll post the pictures of the bags I'm making now either tomorrow or the next day.
To further explain the luminary bags~ We put candles in the bags and light them while we say a prayer during our Relay event. Read how the ACS decribes it here, of course they call it luminaria. I guess I'm just different.
Thank you all!
I'll take pictures of all the bags lit up during the ceremony and post it on here after Relay.

Atlanta vs Carolina: Our First Home Preseason Game
In case some of you didn't know, Atlanta has been getting rained on for about the past 3 days and flash floods have pretty much washed the city off of the face of the world. Do you think that would stop me from going to the first home preseason game of the season? Hell no! So what entire streets were washed out. I'm nuts like that. I took the train and didn't have any issues.
So me and the roaring crowd of probably 2000 (official number was 4192 but no way in hell that many people were there) watched our Thrashers hit the ice in Phillips arena for the first time of the 2009-10 season.
My first Moose shot of the season! I'm coming to accept that he just might be serious about that mask.
Toby, Colby and Popovic line up in Hainsey's usual spot.
One of our new big boys, Pavel Kubina.
Horrible pic, but it's the only one where you can see his new black eye. This is the result of that picture I took at camp yesterday. It looked like a little cut in my picture, but it turned into a shiner quickly.
Manny is the happiest guy ever.
More chuckles for Manny while hanging with Kaptain Kovy.
I would SO love for this to be a regular site.
First face off of the new season!
Some action around Leighton. Leighton played very well. Great, that's just what Carolina needs is ANOTHER good goalie. At least Cam wasn't there. DAMN YOU CAM WARD!
More action in front of Leighton.
Moose and Toby guarding the crease.
Ref: No, Moose, I'm not falling for "pull my finger" again.
Moose: Come on, just once.
Leighton getting down to business.
Oh Thrash, I've missed your antics so!
At the end of the period Manny would tap everyone as they went by, leaving himself until last to go in.
Surely you aren't stepping up to Kaptain Kovy??
Leighton making a dramatic save.
Some discussion.
Moose and Manny chatting.
Come on Slater!
You knew it had to happen when the Slayer/Slater sign came out! Slater scored! It probably WAS scored with a high stick, but ah hell, who cares? It's the preseason.
Thrashers win 4-2. Winning kicks ass!
Go Thrashers!!

General News of Saturday, 19 December 2015
Source: Graphic.com.gh
Moves to have the presidential and parliamentary elections held on November 7 are advanced with the Electoral Commission ( EC ) liaising with the Attorney-General's Department to have the relevant constitutional provision amended to effect the change.
The Chairman of the EC, Mrs Charlotte Osei, who stated this on the floor of Parliament last Thursday, also said since the constitutional provision which stipulated that the elections be held on December 7 was not an entrenched one, the necessary legislative documents would soon be presented before the House to effect the change.
She said the change in date would make provision for the holding of run-offs in November as well.
She told the House that the EC was also proposing a law which would empower it to prosecute election offenders with the consent and authorisation of the Attorney-General's Department.
Mrs Osei said the EC asked for GHC1.2 billion for the 2016 polls and was also proposing an increase in the number of polling stations to 30, 000.
The amount required for the polls, she said, did not include the compilation of a new voters register or the cleaning of the current one.
She said the commission intended to train 152,000 election officials for the polls, adding that the request that highly qualified people be used for the conduct of the elections could be met by the commission. Each official, she said, would be paid more than GHC400.
She added, however, that because it was not likely that a large number of highly qualified professionals such as university professors would be willing to assist in that endeavour, the EC could only use them at collation centres and not at polling stations.
She said the commission was proposing November 3, 2016 for special voting, when those directly involved in election day duties would cast their votes ahead of the day for general election, adding that the election day would be November 7, 2016.
Programme of activities
Mrs Osei said the commission was likely to hold a voter exhibition exercise in June and allow for transfer of votes in September.
She noted that the training of election officers would be held for six days instead of two to ensure that they were thoroughly schooled in election matters.
She assured Ghanaians of credible, free, fair and transparent elections and called on Ghanaians not to entertain any fears because the commission was putting in place checks and balances for a flawless electoral process.
The EC Chairman said plans were being made to reduce long queues at polling stations, restricting every polling station to at most 850 voters.
She also said the EC had begun instituting measures to surmount geographical challenges such as the crossing of rivers and undulating terrains by creating new polling stations in vicinities with such barriers to make polling stations more accessible.
In that instance, she said, people in areas such as 'Overseas' would not have to cross rivers and other water bodies and stay in long queues before they exercised their right to vote.
"That would also reduce problems of visibility in areas which hitherto had seen elections getting into evenings," she added.
Declaration of polls
The EC Chairman said barring any unforeseen circumstance, results of the polls would be declared two days after the polls.
According to Mrs Osei, due to the vexed issues of verification in the last elections, the commission had decided to carry out both electronic and manual verification to ensure that the legal provision that all voters be verified was complied with.

wow.. i have my photo posting powers back. thank goodness.
well we are having some happy christmas moments. amelie sings her christmas carol medleys...i saw mummy kissing santa claus..jingle bell rock..rudolph the red nose.... she's getting into her own adorable little christmas groove. this isn't a photo of christmas baking...but i hope i have a photo of our awesome gingerbread house sometime next week. ( that's hoping we make it). tomorrow we send our christmas cards off and away. phew! now we can reclaim the kitchen table for maybe a night. before the next crafting cyclone comes along. we don't get to eat at the table very often, which is a shame. i would like to.
the buying of presents isn't going so well. i did get a cool book for my boy and myself today which i am excited about... but otherwise...i'm hoping santa has found something special for our beautiful angels.
so now i'm off to bed and hoping tomorrow i have some more patience for my kids when they are scratching moaning pushing and crying. i need to feed them some really healthy food, which is hard when they moan so loudly and refuse to eat it. in desperation i put some rescue remedy in their bath today. i think it may have worked for a little while. or was that just the happiness that comes with being clean and smelling of lavender? i will keep putting rescue remedy into their food and drinks and see what happens..lol...or maybe i should drink the whole bottle when i wake up tomorrow...lol. oh its really not that bad! two more days until official holidays begin...yipppeeeee.

Al Qaeda's future
The Washington Post has a good article on the likely future of Al Qaeda. The prediction is that Al Qaeda will develop a "political arm" that runs for office and/or provides social services. I find this argument very compelling:
Following the historical pattern of terrorist movements everywhere -- from Russia's Bolsheviks to the Irish Republican Army to Palestine's Hamas -- we can expect that within a decade al Qaeda will open one, or possibly several, political fronts in predominantly Islamic states, transforming itself from a deadly but diffuse terrorist movement into implacably hostile governmental factions throughout the Middle East that will pose critical geostrategic challenges to America and our allies.

There were other things I wanted to post about today. Happy things. But all those are on the back burner, replaced by more important things. Like a discussion of motherhood. Excuse my lack of punctuation. I'm just going to type and see what comes out. I need that tonight.
My day was difficult. I know what you might be thinking- "She stays at home, what does she have going on that might be stressful?" I might have said that, too, many moons ago. Now, I know differently. Now, I see that the mother never truly has a break. She can't. She stays home to spend as much time as she can with her child. She knows every little thing that goes into that child's mouth. She knows each triumph and set-back in the child's day. She's completely absorbed in all things dealing with her child. There's never a break. Maybe she has a sitter one day, but her mind rarely leaves this small little being that has become her entire world. 'Is he okay?' 'I wonder what he's doing' 'Should I have left more instruction?' There's never a break.
There's never a break if you care…and I do very much. This is precisely why instead of tackling my long list of "To Do" today, I rocked my child. I fed him. I changed him. I held him skin-to-skin and pleaded with God to help me make him feel better. I willed myself not to cry. I cried anyway.
No one talks about the rough part of motherhood.
It's the single most important role I'll ever have in my entire life, a role I wouldn't change for anything in the world. But it is hard. It's so hard.
Some days are flawlessly, blissfully simple.
But today just wasn't one of those days.
Today I neglected the 12 page paper I have that is due on Friday. Today the dishes piled up, the laundry backed up, and the dust stayed on the floor. Today I cried more than I laughed. Today I questioned whether I was a good mother or if God really went out on a limb with trusting me with this beautiful child.
There are some days when I honestly feel as if I have this motherhood thing down. But others I feel helpless and incredibly alone when I realize that there's no one in this town I can turn to. I can't call my sister and have her here in five mintues (or even five hours) to help me figure this thing out. I can't hand Baby K over to his YaYa so that she can work her mommy magic. And it breaks my heart when my own mommy magic won't kick in and help him to feel better.
My heart is so heavy tonight.
