The holiday has religious significance. During the procession an image of Christ, as painted in a famous mural, is carried down the streets of Lima. The mural was painted by a black slave in the 17th century and is the image of Christ on the cross with the Holy Spirit and God the Father above and Mary and Mary Magdelene at the feet of Christ. In the 18th century, Lima suffered a massive earthquake and nearly the entire city of Lima was destroyed. The only thing left standing for miles was the wall on which the mural had been painted. It was a declared a miracle.

A Gentleman's Survival Guide to the Empire of Iuris
I. Introduction
The Empire of Iuris, despite being united under a single banner, is one of the most diverse and interesting lands in which I, Lloyd William Ribble, have walked. Its people are many in personality, attitude, and demeanor. From the frigid lands of the northern snowy mountains to the humid air of the southern jungles, there is bound to be appeal found in one of Iuris's fifty regions and hundreds of towns. I, Lloyd William Ribble, a world-traveled adventurer, completed my ten year long journey to chronicle the assorted and disparate territories of this mighty empire.
II. The People
Iuris is home to many races of people. Humans reside in settlements ranging from humble hamlets to cyclopean citadels. Elves make their homes in the forest, though high elves often mingle among the human populace, and Drow take to dwellings within the Underdark (a place I did not visit willingly, mind you). Dwarves live in hillside forts and mountainous cities. Halflings have few designated settlements. Those few are found in the lower hills, but many Halflings find their home in a roving caravan. At times, Halflings will also join Human settlements and (rarely) Dwarven lands. Aside from several forts located on high mountains, Dragonborn have no true lands of their own. Gnomes (particularly Deep Gnomes) often make homes alongside Dwarves, and during my travels, I found no place dominated by a Gnomish population. Half-elves find a place in either Human or Elven settlements, though I always found them a bit distant to their half-kin. Half-orcs are also found in Iuris. Seldom are they seen outside more tribal human villages, but some find work as top rate mercenaries and soldiers. Tieflings are rarely make their homes outside Human settlements, and it isn't uncommon for the Human populace to act wary around them. Genasi are also present. Air Genasi, I've noticed, prefer the colder regions of Hemlig, while Water Genasi are most often found in the Hema Aina territory. Fire Genasi are most prominent in the scorching sands of Algharbi, and Stone Genasi seem rather spread even throughout the entire empire. Mighty Goliath tribes exist in the mountains, but they too swear fealty to the Emperor. Aarakocra, I've noticed, were rare, but they may be due to my reluctance to venture far up Iuris's tallest mountains, where the Aarakocra most often make their homes. Warforged are perhaps the least populace of the empire, and almost exclusively live in Human cities. Denizens of Hemlig, Algharbi, and Hema Aina often have variant homes to those found in the more populous Galytir; for example, rather than forests, Elves tend to live in the jungles, and Dwarves live in mesas and plateaus in Algharbi.
III. The Nobility
The political structure of Iuris is a rather simple system adopted from the early days of the Empire. Each rank has a certain level of control over the lands and a limited amount of power they may exercise. Iuris's nobility follow this structure, from the bottom of the chain, to the top: Sir/Dame (often knights in service to a higher ranking noble), Lord/Lady, Baron/Baroness, Viscount/Vidame, Count/Countess (equal rank with Earl, the female form of which remains Countess, and Jarl, the more commonly used title in Hemlig), Marquis/Marquise, Duke/Duchess, Prince/Princess, Archduke/Archduchess (often a sibling of the sovereign ruler), Crown Prince/Crown Princess, and Emperor/Empress. During my travels, I heard few tales of noble houses conspiring against one another or the royal family. Emperor Carolus Palatinate, the head of the Royal Family of Iuris and the sovereign ruler of the Empire of Iuris, is viewed by many in the nobility as a just ruler who rules with a clear mind and strong grip.
IV. The Wilderness
Venturing into the wilderness of Iuris is a task as daunting as stepping into a red dragon's cave, naked, smelling of seasoned beef, and covered in volatile oil (I assure you, I've never done the latter). You can barely go a day of travel without encountering something that wants to hunt you, eat you, kill you, disembowel you, roast you, burn you, strangle you, rip you, slash you, stab you, claw you, jeer you… it can be an unpleasant experience. Many mercenaries find good work in protecting the more rugged adventurers who seek treasures in the seldom-traversed wilderness of Iuris. Galytir's wilderness is perhaps the safest, and even then prepare to hide when the shadow of a roc darkens your day. Hemlig is arguably the most dangerous, but the purple worms of Algharbi is more dangerous than any other beast in Iuris. This excludes dragons, of course, but the metallic dragons tend to keep the chromatics in check.
V. The Towns
Human settlements, as I have stated, are differing and many. The average population of a Human settlement is around five thousand and four hundred men and women, and this is a figure for Humans alone. Adding in the population of other races increases the average by several hundred, closer to five thousand and seven hundred. Many of the larger settlements utilize magic to help the daily lives of its residents, a rarity due to the Charter of Arcane Restriction. A few of the largest settlements rely on this help due to their sheer size. Elven villages rarely exceed more than a couple hundred in terms of population, and many of them are trained with the use of a bow should the need to defend themselves arise. Dwarven forts located often dig into the hills, but they do not compare to the cities built by Dwarves who live in mountains. As I have never been to one of their settlements, I cannot speak on the dwellings of Aarakocra. Genasi seem to live in relative solitude and have no homes outside of the lands of other races.

Eurozone countries have to find a way to deal with the high public debt built up during 2008-2012, and which puts European economies on divergent tracks, EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said on Wednesday (6 May).
Moscovici did not explain how the issue of debt should be addressed, but the remarks appear to refer back to a debate about jointly issued eurozone debt, a notion that Germany firmly rejected.
France, of which Moscovici was finance minister, was in favour of a discussion on euro bonds in the past.
"The years I have spent dealing with the Economic and Monetary Union (eurozone) at the national or European level have strengthened my belief that we must now open up two fronts," Moscovici said in a prepared speech at the Brussels University.
The first front was to ensure the re-convergence of European economies – both within the euro area, and between the euro area and other EU Member States, Moscovici said.
"(The second was) addressing the problem of the legacy debt – i.e., debt accumulated in 2008-2012, which is an additional factor of divergence between European economies," he said.
"The crisis catapulted the debt of several large economies into 90% of GDP territory, where it was approximately 60% prior to the crisis. I will not dwell on this issue today, but clearly this has huge implications for growth and our social models in Europe in the coming decades," he said.
Moscovici's said his remarks were his private views on the way forward for the eurozone as the European Commission, eurozone governments and the European Central Bank are working on a report on how to further integrate the single currency area that is due in June.
"I am aware that opening up these two fronts may have far reaching economic and legal implications, and that further complexity is added when institutional considerations come into the picture," Moscovici said.
Separate budget for the eurozone
He repeated the idea, already circulating among eurozone institutions and governments, that the eurozone should have its own budget, called in EU jargon a "fiscal capacity".
"A common fiscal capacity is a standard feature of other monetary unions," Moscovici said.
"It may serve purposes such as supporting macroeconomic stabilisation and insurance against shocks, or providing public goods. Setting up such a fiscal capacity would have far reaching economic and legal implications, and would imply a qualitative step forward in terms of democratic control of central European executive powers," he said.
The idea is controversial because many eurozone governments are not willing to contribute any more money to the pan-European level on top of their annual input into the general EU budget, and it would be very difficult to carve out a special portion of that existing budget to serve only eurozone countries.
The idea of a special budget for the eurozone first emerged during the sovereign debt crisis as a way to protect the single currency against "asymmetric shocks".
First plans for a eurozone budget were spelled out by former European Council President Herman Van Rompuy in an "Issues paper on completing the Economic and Monetary Union", presented in 2012.
Although sketchy, the idea was backed in principle by eurozone heavyweights German and France.
>> Read: Hollande: Eurozone budget will come 'in addition, not in substitution' of EU budget
However, many believe that creating a separate budget for the eurozone will require a federalist leap in fiscal and political integration, which many eurozone countries are not ready to take.
A full-fledged fiscal union with a central budget would indeed require the creation of a treasury office, whose role and functions would need to be defined.
And it is not clear what type of income and expenditure the budget would cover.
Moreover, non-eurozone countries, which now benefit from the funds of the EU-wide budget, are concerned that its creation would diminish the amount of money available to them.
Read: Hungarian minister: A budget for the eurozone will destroy the EU
But the idea is not off the table and was recently revived by the new President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker.
In February this year, he presented an Analytical Note on the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), prepared in close cooperation with the President of the European Council Donald Tusk, the President of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem, and the President of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi.

Zoology Postdoc Resources
Both the Department and the Postdoc community provide several resources to help make your daily life in the Department more efficient and fun, as well as helping you to develop your research and career!
Workshops for Postdocs in Zoology
The Zoology Postdocs Committee organises several workshops throughout the year, which cover topics such as how to write a research and teaching statement, or what to put in the ideal cover letter. Followed by free pizza, these workshops are a great way to gain those all-important transferrable skills, while socialising with your colleagues. Notes from past workshops can be found on our Workshops Page. The committee always welcomes workshop topic suggestions from the postdoc community.
Summer Seminar Series
The Zoology Postdoc Summer Seminar Series has been held annually since 2013, and is the way to get your research more widely known in the Department. These short talks are organised by postdocs, for postdocs, as a forum to allow postdocs and early career research fellows to showcase their research to the Department, in a relatively informal setting. The format is simple: each week two speakers each give an approximately 20-minute presentation on their current or former research, with some time at the end of each presentation for questions. Then everyone is welcome to continue discussions, or just take a breather, with free cake provided for all in the tearoom.
Mentoring and Staff Review Scheme
Zoology has instigated a department mentoring scheme for postdocs and research fellows. The University of Cambridge notes that there are three kinds of mentoring: induction mentoring (sometimes known as "buddying"), peer mentoring and developmental mentoring (sometimes known as sponsorship): http://www.ppd.admin.cam.ac.uk/career-development/mentoring-university-cambridge/types-mentoring.
The Zoology scheme allows the mentee to determine, and ask for, the kind of mentoring relationship and support that is most useful to them.
The Department also runs an annual Staff Review and Development Scheme, whereby Postdocs can discuss their progress over the year, identify any kind of development/training needs for the following year.
Teaching opportunities for postdocs
In Cambridge, undergraduates further explore lecture material during weekly small-group supervisions (2-4 students), and postdocs provide many supervisions for undergraduate students. In addition to earning some money, supervisions provide an excellent opportunity to gain teaching experience and test how well you really know your subject. You can add your name to a list of potential supervisors by emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com , and reply to the requests that are emailed around the Department at the beginning of each term.
If you are going to email the list, it helps to include a list of the potential undergraduate courses you would be interested in supervising. For this, make sure you look at the options in 1A and 1B Natural Sciences. If you are interested in offering supervision at Pt II (i.e. year 3) then you should contact the Teaching Office staff or relevant module organizer in Zoology. Module options and organizers for Michaelmas and Lent terms are available here.
The University now requires that you attend a course outlining the expectations for new supervisors. Courses are offered frequently through professional development. Further info about how supervisions work can be found here.
Sports and socialising
Zoology has its own soccer and cricket teams – a great way to get to know people and work out at the same time. Also, make sure to attend happy hour: every Friday from 5:30pm in the Zoology main building – cheap snacks and drinks and awesome company!
A magazine by Zoology, for Zoology
Zoology has its very own in-house magazine, Serpentarius, to keep you up-to-date with everything going on in the Department.

It is the end of the week and I have decided to write again. Today`s subject will be about us. I was browsing through different websites and I`ve noticed people`s reactions to different things. I was interested in reactions to other people maybe because of my degree. What I`ve discovered is that in the on-line environment everyone gets to have an opinion, even those that in day-to-day life don`t. So my next question was why? Why people are hiding behind the wall of anonymity, and why we start acting like we know everything. I mean we criticize art, music, fashion, food, people, cars, houses, flowers but in the end what do we know?
I feel powerless in front of this, I want everyone to be able to understand that maybe is not our place to tell that girl what to wear, or to tell that guy that his painting is bad, because neither them or us achieved perfection in our existence so why start pointing fingers to others. Everyone is feeling superior and I don`t understand from where is this superiority? I mean I get it you have to be confident in yourself but this is not about confidence is about "I am better than you".
# Anyway on another happy note, I wanted to let you know about my previous posts, I finished my hair treatment and I had great results, and when I say great I mean even I didn`t expect to see such a dramatic change. Today I have bought some other products:
1. Umberto Giannini- Intense beauty conditioner
2.John Frieda-Luxurious volume blow dry lotion

Thx for creating this good rom. The only issue I've notice is that phone sometimes need more time to unlock the screen from sleep. Anyway after I did the hwa trick it is running very well.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
your downloads keep my server alive so that I can continue uploading, and that's why i do not allow mirrors..........
Which, by the way, is a pity, because it was a very good ROM!
Well, I am quite sure I have an older build of this ROM somewhere, maybe V17 or so, if you want I can send it to you somehow (without re-hosting).
XDA Developers was founded by developers, for developers. It is now a valuable resource for people who want to make the most of their mobile devices, from customizing the look and feel to adding new functionality.

Buildings require foundations, but most people don't see them and so, don't think much about them. However, foundations are critical. They are built before any other part of the building and if they aren't done correctly then constructing the rest of the building and maintaining it become an on-going problem.
One of the more famous examples of a beautiful building with a bad foundation is the Fallingwater house designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright. Foundation problems plagued the owners and ultimately required very expensive foundation repairs to preserve the house. Although an architectural tour de force, due to poor foundation design, Fallingwater nearly became "Fallingdown.
Source: SlipperyBrick
A network's foundation is comprised of cabling and the IEEE standards that define link speeds and media type (e.g., optical, copper, twisted pair). Link speed directly affects the cable as the cable must meet stringent design criteria or the link can't reliably transmit data.
Now, there is much talk about fabrics and the value they bring in overcoming the new demands placed on the network by server virtualization and storage over IP or Ethernet. Brocade has extolled the beauties of Ethernet Fabrics and talked about the fundamental changes in LAN design that are being driven by virtualization and the block storage over Ethernet using FCoE and iSCSI. But, what should we use to build a strong foundation for a data center fabric?
It's 10 gigabit Ethernet, or 10 GE. Along with that 10x increase in link rate over the earlier 1 GE technology, have come complimentary capabilities such as Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), Per-class Flow Control (PFC) and the emerging integration of link state routing at layer 2 (TRILL and SPB) to replace Spanning Tree while avoiding loops, providing equal cost multipath routing and multiple active links for higher utilization. Block storage has begun to use Ethernet via Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). In turn, FCoE relies on the 10 GE foundation taking advantage of the complimentary IEEE standards to provide lossless, low latency networks essential for block storage transport.
The cable options for 10 GE now include optical links, copper via twinax and soon, twisted pair copper and RJ-45 connectors. And, server vendors are including 10 GE LAN on motherboard (LOM) ports so 10 GE is "free" as it's embedded in the server motherboard.
Without 10 GE in the data center, networks don't have the strength in the foundation to to carry the load. As with buildings, if you don't get the foundation right, bad things can happen.
Source: HABITEC Home and Building Inspections
Brocade provides 10 GbE products and last year introduced a new 10 GbE product line, the Brocade VDX family of data center switches. The VDX provides a solid foundation of 10 GE technology. Once you have VDX switches at the top of the server rack you can turn on a Brocade VCS Ethernet Fabric at any time to create a cloud-optimized network that's perfect for virtualization as well as high performance, lossless, low latency transport of iSCSI and/or FCoE storage traffic.
For more information about Ethernet Fabrics, see What is an Ethernet fabric" by Greg Ferro on www.etherealmind.com.

Today I have a confession to make. I am a sold-out, over-the-top nutcase, and I blame it all on art.
I should have known better than to edit images after 6 p.m. Like caffeine, the thrill of seeing a project come together tends to rev my engine and sends jolts of creativity roaring through my brain folds. I love the whole process a little too much, perhaps, and once that engine's rolling along, there's no turning off the brain switch.
So I fell into a deep sleep around 11:30, and dove immediately into the zaniest dream about beautiful textured backgrounds and wind-tossed fields of grass. For the next four hours, billowy sheets of pastel swirls were blowing and twirling just beyond my reach. After a long chase on a winding path through the forest, I wrestled a pile of them into submission, and with great delight, dropped them into my Spring Hues file, which was filed away in an oversized Mac that I was towing behind me on the trail.
When my eyelids flew open at 3:30 this morning, I knew the night was technically over for me, and a couple of earnest pillow-flips later (don't pretend that you never flip your pillow so the cool side's up), I officially gave up the fight.
Tuesday had arrived, and the coffeepot was calling my name. I'll feel the lack of sleep this afternoon, no doubt, but sometimes you just gotta roll with it. American Rennaissance sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens got it right: "What garlic is to salad, insanity is to art."
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do.

Yes, I know it's January 3rd already. And I realize that I didn't post any lofty resolutions, or lament goals I failed to reach last year. But I will say this: Today is Monday and I don't know about you, but I love Mondays with a vengeance.
Add to it the fact that this is the first Monday of the new year and well...you can see where this is going, can't you? I have a brand-new journal waiting to fill. Beside me sits a cup of steaming coffee, thanks to my new stainless steel Delonghi coffeemaker. Life is good, and I've taken a giant leap into the new year with bubbling enthusiasm for what this great Unknown will hold.
I'm enough of a realist to know that there will be struggles, but like a pebble washed ashore, I know that such experiences ultimately polish and refine me. I'm a believer in taking life one day at a time and I'm anticipating each step as someone accepting a rare and precious gift.
I hope your year is also filled with great anticipation and hope. So tell me, what does this Monday mean to you?

As I think I've probably mentioned elsewhere previously, it's interesting how often I discover that artistic friends are more inclined to have a pet cat or just like cats than non-arty friends. I have always adored cats, can't imagine my life without actually owning one or two, and I make a bee-line for them wherever I see one.
I remember having to recite a poem as part of my drama lesson when I was about 12 - normally I wasn't that interested in reciting poetry, but this one involved cats and made me smile, so I thought I'd bring back those memories and try and get some photos to accompany it. I'm sure all cat owners will agree it's certainly true!
Cats sleep anywhere, any table, any chair. Top of piano, window-ledge, in the middle, on the edge. Open draw, empty shoe, anybody's lap will do. Fitted in a cardboard box, in the cupboard with your frocks. Anywhere! They don't care! Cats sleep anywhere.
Written by Eleanor Farjeon (1881 - 1965)
To prove my point, here's a selection of my cats sleeping in various places:
This is Oscar sleeping in one of his "proper" areas - a specifically bought cat shelf!
Here are two sleeping beauties on the decking a few years ago.
This is our previous Birman, Thelma, sleeping underneath our old scanner.
Oscar's favourite place at Christmas!
Oscar when he was 17 weeks old, curled up on top of a tool box....
Mavis deciding our curled up washing line makes a good bed!
Oscar, on the other hand, prefers the dirty wash basket!
This, however, is his usual position every evening, on Keith's lap.
Aren't cats just ace?

The latter seems more obvious since it is both cheaper and longer, however I've heard it can be slightly inconsistent at the long end concerning IQ. Would anyone who's had experience with both care to shed some light on the case, just with a few pros and cons of each?

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Shindigs Catering, the always-on-the-go catering company that runs the popular Shindigs food truck in Birmingham, will open a lunch and juice counter starting today at the downtown branch of the YMCA.
Shindigs Juice Café, as it is called, is located on the second floor of the Y. Hours will be 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
In keeping with the YMCA's mission of developing a healthy mind, body and spirit, the Shindigs Juice Café menu will feature such healthier options as chicken sausage pizza and turkey salad lettuce wraps.
So don't expect any steamed buns with pork bellies or crispy catfish, which you'll find on the Shindigs food truck.
"It's going to be healthy, but we are not going to promote it as healthy," Shindigs co-owner Mac Russell says. "We are going to use our training as chefs to make it kind of naughty."
Jonathan Brasher will be the manager of the Shindigs Juice Café, Russell says.
Russell and his culinary partner Chad Schofield worked for James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Hastings at Hot and Hot Fish Club before they cranked up their farm-to-fork Shindigs food truck in the summer of 2011.
When their truck is not out on the streets of Birmingham, their catering company stays booked catering private parties and corporate events.
The Shindigs Juice Café menu will change depending on what is in season, but here is the opening-day menu:
Entrees ($10)
Pork loin, with heirloom tomatoes, avocado, smoked spring onions, cilantro, lime and Manchego cheese.
Turkey salad lettuce wraps, with preserved Meyer lemon yogurt, sultanas, Marcona almonds and basil, served with a fruit salad side.
Nearly Gluten-Free Pizza, with spinach, chicken sausage, blistered cherry tomatoes, chevre and smoked romesco sauce.
Salmon, with farro, asparagus, fava, spring onions, corn, boiled yard egg and parmesan vinaigrette and baby beet greens.
Shrimp Poke', with brown rice, edamame, shiitake mushrooms, carrot, ramp-ginger vinaigrette and micro celery.
Smoothies ($6)
Elvis, with peanuts, banana, cocoa nibs, probiotic-protein powder, almond milk and yogurt.
Get Away, with pineapple, papaya, coconut, macadamia oil, avocado, tarragon and rice milk.
Berry Good, with strawberry, blueberry, blood orange, coriander, yogurt and soy milk.
Juices ($6)
Green, with spinach, kale, celery, apple and ramp.

God's plan is for marriage to be full of beauty and glory, happiness and harmony, each partner thinking of the other. But it doesn't always start out that way, or if it does, it doesn't always stay that way. People become self-centered, wanting their own way. Or, they are so fragile or bruised from their past that they are afraid of being hurt again. Some couples mean well, but don't have a clue as to what it takes to grow the kind of marriage they really do want.
Linda and I met at a Christian college. We were preparing to enter lives of ministry. Shortly after meeting in the cafeteria, we started talking about dating. One of her classes was a psychology course in which her professor gave the students a list of one hundred questions to talk about if you were in a serious relationship and wanted it to work out long-term. W'd go to a local park and talk about the questions and issues identified on the handout. This started shaping our relationship, and within five months we were engaged.
During the months leading up to the wedding, married friends from our church tended to say things like, "You guys are in love now, but wait 'til after the wedding!" It made us wonder, "What's going to happen after the wedding?" After we'd been married a few months those same friends would say, "You guys are in love now, but wait 'til you have kids!" "Uh-oh! What's going to happen when we have kids?" After we had three children, those same friends said, "You guys are in love now, but wait til they're teenagers!" By that time we figured out that those friends, while they meant well, simply didn't know how to grow a good, healthy, happy, Christian marriage and family.
In our early marriage, my wife and I meant well. We loved each other and wanted what was best for each other. But both of us came from families that modeled poor relational styles, and we began to automatically reenact the marriages of our parents.
Knowing that we wanted something better than either of us had witnessed, we read books on marriage, attended seminars and couples retreats, talked with our pastors and several marriage counselors. We had our share of tough times, especially during the years after our sons were born, but on our twentieth anniversary, we had some friends over to the house to celebrate. I was in the living room with some friends, and Linda was in the kitchen when I heard someone ask her, "So, what's it like being married to the same guy for twenty years?" I waited for her answer, and then heard my wife say, "You know, in twenty years we've had seventeen good ones."
At first I got mad. What do you mean we've had three bad years? But then I realized that if a baseball player went 17 for 20 at the plate, the batting average would be .850, which isn't bad. I think I can identify the years she had in mind as not being good ones. I came home from work one day, shortly after our second son was born, and Linda asked me if we were ever going to be happy again. I was twenty-four and she was twenty-two. We had two young sons. We weren't getting enough sleep. We were dirt poor. Life was just hard. I answered, "I don't know, Sweet-Heart. I think so, but I don't know. How 'bout if we stay faithful to each other, treat each other right, and see what happens?"
Things did get better. Eventually we were happy again. We could tell when it got better because we could laugh together again. We were no longer angry all the time. We could look at each other and smile. We liked being in the same room again. It would have been real easy to call it quits during the tough times. It would have been easy to mistreat each other, or to give in to the temptation to have an affair. But we didn't. We stayed faithful. We treated each other right. We made the decision to honor each other.
On our thirtieth anniversary, I took my wife out to dinner. While talking at the restaurant, Linda said to me, "You know, in thirty years together we've had twenty-seven good ones."
Hmmmmm. Next August we'll celebrate our 40th. I wonder what the count will be.

Cut + Run "Opens on Broadway"(February 23, 2010)
Cut + Run ( www.cutandrun.tv ) is welcoming the New Year with its move to an expanded location in SoHo's historic quarter. The office is located at 599 Broadway (corner of Houston) on the 12th floor/Penthouse and offers sweeping 360-degree views of the city.
Five offline suites, a graphics suite and the new HD finishing suite are the creative hub at the new space. All rooms have been updated with the latest versions of Avid and Final Cut and are SD/HD compatible.
The new facility was designed by award winning architectural firm 51% Studios ( http://51pct.com ). For the new space, an eco-interior has been created with the suites predominately fabricated from recycled lightweight materials. The combination of translucent polycarbonate walls, top lit with dimmable low energy diodes and the mocha colored resin floor give the overall effect of a calm radiance.
The New York office is home to editors Tina Mintus, Jon Grover, TG Herrington, Dayn Williams and Steve Gandolfi, but is also a hub for frequent projects with Cut + Run's editors from the London, Los Angeles & Asia locations.

Jamie Wheal is Executive Director of Flow Genome Project which he heads up alongside Steven Kotler, who you might know from books such as The Rise of Superman and Abundance, co-written with Peter Diamandis.
Jamie is a leading expert on the neuro-physiology of human performance. His work ranges from Fortune 500 companies like Cisco, Google, and Nike, to the U.S. Naval War College and Red Bull. He combines a background in expeditionary leadership, wilderness medicine and surf rescue, with over a decade advising high-growth companies on strategy, execution and leadership. He speaks to diverse and high-performing communities such as Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), Summit Series, and MaiTai Global on the intersection of science and high performance.
At the Flow Genome Project, he leads a team of the world's top scientists, athletes and artists dedicated to mapping the genome of the peak-performance state known as Flow.
Jamie and Steven have co-penned their new book Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work, out next month. The book explores four years investigating the leading edges of this revolution—from the home of SEAL Team Six to the Googleplex, the Burning Man festival, Richard Branson's Necker Island, Red Bull's training center, Nike's innovation team, and the United Nations' Headquarters. And what they learned was stunning: In their own ways, with differing languages, techniques, and applications, every one of these groups has been quietly seeking the same thing: the boost in information and inspiration that altered states provide.
Listeners will know I'm a big believer in the power of flow and a huge fan of co-author Steven Kotler's earlier work, The Rise of Superman - and if you haven't listened to it already, check out episode #15 on how flow can help you increase productivity by 500%.
This episode was jam packed with value bombs. Learn how to find your optimal creative state using everything from exercise and meditation to micro-dosing on LSD and hallucinogens!
Topics Covered:
- What is flow
- The neuroscience of flow, meditative, psychedelic and peak sexual states
- What inhibits you from getting into your optimal creative state
- Why brainstorming and all-nighters don't really work
- Anandamide: the creativity molecule, why you need it to be creative and how to increase your production of it
- Why the human mind only consciously processes 0.002% of its surroundings and how to tap into the other 99.998%
- Micro-dosing on psychedelics and hallucinogens
- How to create the optimal creative environment for your team
- Is biohacking worth it?
- Spiritual materialism
- Getting back into the flow state after being interrupted
- Priming practices to optimise your morning and day

Microsoft pledged on Wednesday to notify people with Microsoft accounts (which include Outlook.com emails and OneDrive) if it believes those accounts have been targeted or hacked by people working on behalf of a nation or state.
In a blog post on the Microsoft website, Microsoft executive Scott Charney said the company is "taking this additional step" if it has evidence that the attacker may be state-sponsored "because it is likely that the attack could be more sophisticated or more sustained than attacks from cybercriminals and others."
He added that the notifications "do not mean that Microsoft's own systems have in any way been compromised," and if a customer receives such a notification it doesn't mean they have been hacked. Rather, it means Microsoft has evidence their account has been targeted, and the user should increase the security settings on their accounts.
Microsoft already notifies account holders if it believes they have been targeted or compromised by third parties, but until now, it has not informed users of possible state-sponsored attacks.
Join the conversation on Facebook >>
The policy change comes days after Reuters reported that Microsoft did not tell customers of a Chinese state-sponsored hack from May 2011 that targeted international leaders of China's Tibetan and Uighur minorities. Microsoft disputed the Reuters report, saying in a prepared statement that the company and the U.S. government was unable to identify the source of the attacks, "which did not come from any single country."

High quality loft apartments with views across Dublin, and larger houses with self-contained flats characterise the area. Slightly further away from the bustling centre, you'll find plenty of townhouses and villas to rent for a short stay.

Pickleball tournament coming to Western New York
SANBORN – A new sports tournament is coming to Western New York.
The inaugural Western New York Pickleball Tournament will be held from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. July 18 and 19 at Niagara County Community College. Event proceeds benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.
Pickleball is a racket sport that can be played by two or four players using paddles and specialized wiffle balls. The game originated in 1965 in Bainbridge Island, Wash.
"Pickleball has become the fastest growing sport in America, yet this exceptionally fun and unique activity seems to be a best kept secret around Western New York and we'd like to change that," said tournament coordinator Jason Santerre.
Participants must pay a tournament fee and register by July 11. The tournament is free for spectators. For more information, contact Santerre at 803-5520 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Eco-Tip: Lemons Help Hands Too
Just as lemons whiten your whites naturally, they help with your post-winter skin naturally also. Instead of purchasing an expensive hand treatment to soften and brighten your skin, try this homemade solution that works overnight. It consists of sugar that gently sloughs away rough patches, coconut oil that moisturizes and lemon juice that lightens pigment discoloration and brightens skin. We bet it works for feet as well if you're getting them ready to make their debut for the beach season.
You'll need:
½ cup coconut oil
½ cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Cotton gloves
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Rub the mixture over your hands for at least 1 minute, scrubbing like you were washing them. Use a paper towel to brush any excess sugar from your skin. Slide your hands into the gloves and leave them on overnight. By morning, the oil should be absorbed and your hands will be ready to start the day.

Student Behavior Management Webinar Held in the Ed Lab
Student Behavior Management Webinar Held in the Ed Lab
Dr. Jim Nichols, Chair of the Adolescence Education Department, hosted a professional development event for students on Thursday, April 4.
The webinar, Defining the Consequences: Student Behavior Management with Doug Lemov, was presented. The webinar addressed 5 principles of classroom culture that critically promote a positive classroom environment that support learning. These principles, discipline, management, control, influence and engagement, were explored in depth by examining both the teacher's and student's perspectives.
Doug Lemov's text Teach Like A Champion, a nationally recognized study of high-performing urban teachers and their practices, is used during methods courses and in senior seminar, the co-requisite course for student teaching.
After viewing the webinar, students enjoyed pizza and conversation.
The students in the Education Department appreciate the School of Ed for hosting professional development events like this one.

Renting to College Students
Share on
Many people are hesitant to rent their property to college students and in some cases that caution is a good idea, but not all college students are irresponsible and inconsiderate. If you're going to rent to college students you have to be meticulous about your screening process and make sure that you or your rental agent meet with each of them individually to get a feel for each prospective tenant.
Part of that initial screening process should include a credit check and a phone call to the student's current employer, if there is one. If you don't think the student makes enough to afford the rent then you may want to consider requiring a parent as the co-signer.
You may want to ban the college party entirely from your property but this is probably not reasonable in most cases. Instead you should add a clause that clearly states that if the police are called they will immediately be evicted.
Make sure you check with local tenancy laws as many cities have a limit on how many unrelated people can reside in one apartment, you don't want to set up a situation where you're immediately breaking the law.
Also make sure you ask for a large security deposit. Whereas most tenants may not do enough damage to warrant keeping even a portion of the security deposit, college aged students may do so much damage that it requires more than one month's rent to repair.
The most important part of renting to college students is doing the research and making sure they're a good credit risk and come highly recommended by former landlords or employers. Look for students that are responsible and have proven this in the past.

Town Information
Vineyard Haven Town Information
Native Americans called the area "Nobnocket," meaning "dry place." Early Colonists referred to it as Holmes Hole. In 1871, settlers separated from what is now West Tisbury and later legally changed the town's name to Tisbury. Today, however, this beautiful area is commonly known as Vineyard Haven and is characterized as the Island's "year-round" town. While many shops, inns and restaurants pull down their shutters and close their doors off-season, Vineyard Haven's businesses and port serve the resident and visitor communities 365 days per year.
For over three centuries, Vineyard Haven was among New England's busiest seaports. Strategically located on key sailing routes, whaling vessels and trading ships found this an opportune port to take on supplies, wait for a favoring wind or tide or ride out bad weather. In 1845, close to 14,000 vessels from across the globe passed through this Island port.
While some early settlers eked out their livings as fishermen and whalemen, others became merchants of salt cod, whale oil, candles and wool.
The Island's first schoolhouse, now owned by the Martha's Vineyard Preservation Trust, dates to 1829. In 1776, the British threatened to take down a Liberty Pole residents had erected on the schoolhouse grounds and use it as a spar on one of their warships. To prevent their patriotic symbol from falling into enemy hands, three teenage girls from Vineyard Haven inserted gunpowder into the pole and blew it up. In 1898, a new pole was erected to commemorate their daring act of patriotism.
In 1883, a fire started at Crocker's Harness shop, the present site of the Bank of Martha's Vineyard. Although the blaze devastated most of the waterfront area, William Street was miraculously saved. Many fine examples of early Greek Revival architecture remain, reminding visitors of a glorious past. Today, the town's lovely parks, historic West Chop Lighthouse and the nearby splendor of Tashmoo Lake and the Tisbury Water Works invite visitors. Special points of interest include the Old Schoolhouse Museum and the Seamen's Bethel Museum.

Chilmark Town Information
Rolling hills broken only by ancient stone walls, picturesque farms, tranquil ponds and marshes speckled with wildlife characterize this sleepy Island town. Time stands still in nearby Menemsha (which in the Indian dialect means "still water"). a classic fishing village. Here, just as in centuries past, each day fisherman and lobstermen return from their sea to unload their catches in this classic fishing village. Visitors might also recognize the harbor and other nearby sites, featured in the classic movie "Jaws."
The center of Chilmark, featuring the town hall, post office, library, school and several businesses, has been interestingly dubbed Beetlbung Corner. The name is derived from the tupelo trees nearby, which in years gone by were used to make mallets called beetles and wooden stoppers called bungs.
Special points of interest include Fulling Mill Brook Preserve and Waskosim's Rock Reservation.

- Chilmark Links Directory
West Tisbury Town Information
Native Americans first referred to this area as "Takemmy," which means, "where anybody goes to grind corn." Early businesses included mills, clay works, salt works and trap fishing. At one time, Islanders produced satinet, a heavy fabric made for wool used in whalemen's pea jackets.
However, this lush area was and continues to be the agricultural center of the Island. In fact, the West Tisbury Agricultural Fair, best known for its horse-drawing contest, is now over a century old. However, the celebration, originally held in the fall when the crops were harvested, now takes place in August when most visitors are on the Island.
Miles Standish's son once lived in a house near the old inn, and after making a solitary journey around the world aboard his 36-foot sloop, "The Spray," Joshua Slocum decided to settle in this farming community. However, the sailor did not prove successful as a farmer and heeded a return call to the sea. From that point on, he was never heard from again.
Visitors are drawn to the peace and charm of this classic New England Town. Special points of interests include the Mayhew Chapel and Indian Burying Ground and the stunning Cedar Tree Nature Neck Preserve.

Oak Bluffs Town Information
In 1835, members of the Methodist church decided the groves and pastures on this part of the Island would provide the perfect backdrop for their annual summer camp meeting. Each group in attendance pitched a tent around a central tent reserved for services. The event became so popular that by the mid-1850s congregations of 12,000 people were attending the all-day gospel sessions in the campground called Wesleyan Grove.
Enamored by the salt air, sea and surf, members of the congregation began to extend their stays in this tranquil setting. As a result, brightly painted cottages with decorative "gingerbread" molding began to replace the original tents. Soon, hundreds of cottages dotted the 34 acres, called "Cottage City," the predecessor of Oak Bluffs.
The town is also home of the Flying Horse Carousel, the oldest operating carousel in the country (see historical sites).
Special points of interest include the historic Tabernacle, Joseph Sylvia State Beach and Farm Neck Golf Club.

Edgartown Town Information
In 1642, Thomas Mayhew founded the Island's first Colonial settlement, which was later named Edgar Towne, after the son of the Duke of York. Today, the town is recognized as one of the world's most elegant seaport communities and yachting centers.
Much of the island's history is linked to this seaside community. By 1846, Edgartown boasted nineteen registered whaling ships and was ranked among the wealthiest communities per capita in the country. Between 1830 and 1845, prosperous whaling and merchant captains built the grand Greek Revival homes, which have been carefully preserved today. The 1672 Vincent House is recognized as the oldest known house on the island, and the magnificent Old Whaling Church, now a performing arts center, is still a focal point of the community.
Pristine beaches and quiet preserves are only a stone's throw away. In addition to the Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary and Caroline Tuthill Wildlife Preserve, Chappaquiddick, an island off the island, offers unparalleled beauty. In the Indian Dialect, "Chappaquiddick" means "Separated Land." Over the years, the sea broke through a barrier beach that once connected the Katama end of Edgartown with the Island. Today, visitors can take a quick jaunt to "Chappy" aboard the On Time Ferry for a memorable day of fishing, sunning, swimming and exploring in the island's preserves.

Aquinnah Town Information
At the westernmost end of the island, the cliffs present an awesome spectacle. Towering 150-feet over the sea, they form a brilliantly colored mile-long expanse. For this reason, the Wampanoag Indians named the area, Aquinnah, meaning "High Land."
Centuries ago, the Indians lived harmoniously with the Colonists, teaching them how to find clay for bricks in the massive cliffs and how to catch whales, which served many purposes. In fact the Indians were so skilled at harpooning the mighty beasts, they were in great demand as boatsteerers on whaling voyages.
In 1870, the town incorporated and for years was called Gay Head in recognition of the magnificent bluffs. In 1987, descendents of the Wampanoag people were recognized as a tribe, which now owns a variety of shops, a restaurant and the surrounding land. In recent years, the town's name reverted to Aquinnah.

In exploring the area, references to "Up Island" and "Down Island" are bound to pop up in conversation or appear on directional signs. The terms have maritime roots. When a vessel travels down its longitude, it is heading east. When travelling up its longitude, it is heading west.
Therefore, western parts of the island West Tisbury, Chilmark and Aquinnah are referred to as "Up Island". The eastern towns of Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs and Edgartown are referred to as "Down Island".

Lost's Nestor Carbonell: If He Told People About the Final Season, 'They Would Think I Made It Up'
The man behind the ageless Richard Alpert tells us to get ready for a major revelation.
Lost begins its sixth and final season tonight, and we're anxious for the show to finally solve one of its most enigmatic mysteries: the role of longtime (and we mean longtime) age-resistant, non-eyeliner wearing, consigliere to the Others, Richard Alpert. Vulture spoke to Nestor Carbonell, who plays Alpert, to try to get to the bottom of his role with the Others (he's not just an adviser!), why he kept retroactively showing up in John Locke's life, and what to expect from Richard in this final season — considering the last time we saw his leader, Jacob, he was roasting over an open fire.
We feel like after this conversation you're going to show up in the background of our old baby photos.
Yes, I have been in your past ... and I haven't changed a bit.
One of the biggest questions we have about Lost is: Who the hell is Richard Alpert? The guy is everywhere.
Well, that's been my question for three and a half years. This year you will get the answers. I finally got the answers and I was blown away with what they came up with. There's a Richard Alpert–centric episode — it's the ninth episode — and it not only reveals almost all the questions about Alpert's origins, but it also answers a lot of questions about the mythology of the island at-large. Some really big reveals happen.
He's kind of a cross between Tom Hagen from The Godfather and Dorian Gray.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. And I always thought — and until this season, I always wondered if they would address it — he's sort of caught in the middle. He's not quite a leader and he's not quite strictly an adviser. His power, or lack of power, must pull away at him or pull at his psyche or his ego. As we've seen, he's tapping leaders of the island. And he seems to know everything one day and the next day he doesn't seem to know much at all. He's gotta be a guy that has a complex and is a little frustrated.
That's a good point. In 1954 it seems he's running the operation; by the time the fake John Locke tells him to remove a bullet from the other John Locke, he seems quite dumbfounded.
Exactly! That particular thing is because [Locke] came to me before I knew it was going to happen, and as an adult. You're right. He's aware of so much but he's not aware of time travel. Time travel is something he had no knowledge of whatsoever.
Did Richard know that wasn't really Locke in the final episode of season five?
This is what the big reveal is [in the season premiere]. Jacob's death. What does that mean? Obviously he sees Locke's body come out of the coffin ... That's where, obviously, everything starts off this season. The ramifications of knowing Jacob is dead and wondering who Locke is. If Locke's in the coffin, who's in Jacob's lair?
People seem to think it's the Man in Black, right?
Well, you're going to find out very soon.
Does Richard finally take a side in the Others' internal power struggle this season?
Yes. We all know Jacob dies. Once that news hits the island, there's going to be massive conflict between different groups. So that will be a spark to the grand conclusion of who's with whom and what are they going to do about it. That definitely rocks Alpert's world and he can no longer be a passive voice. He has to, on some level, take charge.
And then it's going to be revealed that Richard doesn't age, not because he's immortal, but because he uses Botox, and everyone will be disappointed.
Yeah, I exfoliate quite a bit. Exactly. Or he's a Vulcan. People are guessing vampire because that's in vogue right now. I couldn't guess it, I'll tell you that much. When I read it, I was pretty blown away. I had a sense but I wasn't close at all, and I certainly didn't realize the ride this guy had been on.
There's been speculation you wear eyeliner. Even Sawyer makes a crack at Richard's expense, calling him "your friend with the eyeliner." Even in character, do you want to shout out that you're not wearing any makeup?
I love that in one nickname [Sawyer] takes down a character. Obviously that was a response to what we had all read online about whether or not I wore eyeliner on the show. It's always a good running gag, I've dealt with it since I was a little kid.
Are you approached on the street by Lost fans wanting spoilers? Does it rival the fans that used to hound you for Suddenly Susan spoilers?
[Laughs]. There weren't that many spoilers on Suddenly Susan. People are amazing. They're all very bright, they're all extremely loyal, and it's great when they come up and ask a question they know I can't answer.
Come on, it's the last season, they can't fire you for blabbing. Though, people probably wouldn't believe you. Like if you said after season four, "Next season everyone time-travels back to 1977 and Hurley writes the script for The Empire Strikes Back." They'd say, "Yeah, sure."
Exactly. If I told them, they would think I made it up anyway. It would be funny if I did know and told them, they would think nothing of it ... until they watched the finale.

Andhra Pradesh Congress President Botsa Satyanarayana today suggested that a delegation comprising Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and key Opposition functionaries should meet top leaders in Delhi to make a final attempt to keep the state united.
Besides Kiran Reddy, the team should consist of TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, YSR Congress leader Y S Jaganmohan Reddy and CPI(M) State Secretary B V Raghavulu, he said.
The proposal was made earlier and it can be implemented now if the leaders of different parties agree, the PCC President told reporters here. YSRCP and CPI(M) are opposed to division of AP.
He was speaking after a meeting of several Andhra Pradesh ministers from Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions, who favour united AP.
Satyanarayana, who is also Transport Minister and hails from Coastal Andhra, said his Cabinet colleagues from Seemandhra would go to Delhi tomorrow and express moral support to MPs who are fighting hard against bifurcation.
The ministers, who attended the meeting, are perceived to be not on the same page with the CM over the bifurcation issue.
Replying to a query about speculation that the Chief Minister might quit in protest against division, Satyanarayana said resignation may not be very useful now.
He said the Seemandhra Ministers had earlier proposed resignations of all of them to the CM, which did not evoke much response.
To another query, Satyanarayana said he wanted all Congressmen, right from an activist to the Chief Minister, to remain in the party.
The PCC President asserted that political matters and speculation relating to resignations and new party of the Chief Minister were not as important as keeping the state united at this juncture.

From Toronto, Ontario, Canada:
Is it safe for an adult with type 2 diabetes to use a dry sauna? I am the manager of a gym and was asked this by a member the other day. I searched the web, went to the Canadian Diabetes Association and haven't been able to find an answer.
Yes. The only problem would occur if they have known or unknown heart disease. It's the same as for anyone else with heart disease. There is nothing special about their glucose control, per se. If they had some nerve damage or other circulatory damage, the high heat could also get them into trouble and that would also be worthwhile inquiring about. If people who are well educated about diabetes use a wet sauna or dry sauna, there should not be any problem. If poorly educated about diabetes, then this is on an enormously long list of things that they should not be doing.

Audubon Park works to reorganize budget, cut back
AUDUBON PARK, Ky. (WDRB) -- The city of Audubon Park is facing a budget shortfall. The city needs to cut tens of thousands of dollars to cover costs and break even.
A review of funds have revealed a budget shortfall in the city. Audits from 2012 show the city was charging twice what it was supposed to be for sanitation services. Some city council members say this has been occurring for years.
"Under Kentucky state law as well as our own ordinance, we're limited to only charging the cost of the waste management or sanitation expense and we've been charging double," said city council member Cary Campbell. Campbell says years ago the mayor implemented a "user fee", which doubled residents' sanitation bills. As an attorney, Campbell says this practice is illegal.
Also, road funds were being spent on everything but roads. "We've adjusted the budget for this fiscal year to take all that out of there and put it strictly to paving," said Mayor Michael Scalise.
Putting this funding in its own account--as it is supposed to be--will decrease revenue to the general fund. "Once we take that out of the budget and put it where it's supposed to go in its own separate account, you've taken out $160,000" said Campbell.
Campbell says that without the extra money from sanitation, the budget goes from around $1 million to about $700,000. Two thirds of that budget goes to police protection.
Campbell said the last thing the council wants to do is cut police, but with it being such a large chunk of the budget, they may have no other choice. "We don't want to lose those services, but we don't necessarily have a choice in this regard."
The mayor says the majority of cuts made so far have been in the police department. "We've eliminated a full-time and three part-time positions," said Scalise. However, the city website still lists a full time and part time officer opening. The mayor claims that is a mistake on the website, but he also claims they are always accepting applications.
Pensions also pose a problem for the city. The ex-police chief, for example, currently has a $600,000 ten-year pension.
The mayor says this is unsustainable so they are switching to a contribution pension plan. "We would continue paying our past obligations, but not be in that pension business anymore," said Scalise.
Campbell said instead of cutting more from police, the other option is to go to the residents and increase property taxes.
The council is expected to take action on the budget at their next meeting, Monday, August 12.
