(Photo by Dan Norman, from Children's Theatre Company's production of The Wong Kids in the Secret of the Space Chupacabra by Lloyd Suh, a co-production with Ma-Yi Theatre Company. As part of TCG's Diversity & Inclusion Institute, our online curator Jacqueline E. Lawton is interviewing our cohort of participating theatres about their discoveries, challenges and success stories along the way.)
Jacqueline E. Lawton: Why is it important for your organization to take part in the Diversity and Inclusion Institute?
Tim Jennings, Children's Theatre Company: Working with young audiences puts us at the forefront of both the changing demographic of the United States and the inclusivity needs of LGBT youth and family. Nowhere is the face of diversity more present than in the youth of our community.
As the leading family theatre in our field, how then can we not take a substantive leadership role for the nation in charting the course in this work?
JL: What have you learned so far in your process? What are some of the challenges you have faced when doing this work?
TJ: These questions are conjoined for us with the Launch of ACT One (Access, Connect, Transform: The First Step) – Our inclusivity program. The biggest learning we have come to grips with is that "institutional priority"and "individual priority" on these areas will always vary and that we can make real improvement but will never gain 100% support or buy in to all areas (subjectivity will always remain) and so must continue the work at a macro level but not be disappointed if some of the micro levels do not move with the same force. They are like ripples and eddies in a river.
So far the question that has been hardest for us to find a specific answer to is how we generate an accurate baseline and what measurement tools can we use that apply to every area of our company and programming.
The excitement around the greater project is somewhat reduced by the angst and frustration around moving into a much less conceptual and more data analytics oriented phase of the process. Even looking at demographics standards within the U.S. context across our four pillar groups (Economic Access, Cultural/Racial Inclusion, People of Varying Ability and LGBT/Gender Identity Communities) has generated deep but unresolved discussion on profiling, priority and accuracy of our information.
For example, a heterosexual parent might self-identify as that, but under our household profile might note the family as transgender because they have a child who self identifies that way to the family. This would not be surveyed directly by us due to their status as a minor or, in another example (and this has come up a LOT), the children might be adopted or have a parent that is non-white and self-identify as multi-ethnic but the parent and step parent in the household identify as white and thus skew one way or the other. There is a large national movement in the census community to trying to create a wider group of boxes in these areas – so we know we are not alone in this frustration.
It has broadened our context as we are struggling with identifying in wider groups (eg: Does your household include LGBT, People of varying ability, etc).
The clearest denominator is generally fiscal (household income) but even that has had challenges for baseline since identification of poverty or wealth carry their own burdens. We have moved to access programs that simply rely on a statement of need from the family or individual balanced against outlier factors (medical costs, immigration issues, etc).
JL: What surprised you about where your organization is in the process?
TL: We feel pretty solid on the board recruiting we are doing presently. It seems we have a high diversity in some areas (ethnic/ racial) of our board. We are working on LGBT and Ability, and our board range in their origins on Socio Economic scales, although they are all in the top 2% or higher of present annual income.
Our ACT PASS program is working well even in its earliest stages, with 100% usage of available access tickets to the first production of the season disseminated through the program. The Pay What You Can system of the past saw high results on certain dates but not good usage across all performances. We are very pleased with this uptick in usage of available inventory. We also now know who were are serving specifically with each ticket and we know that each ticket is reaching a group/individual we intended it to reach. The user friendliness of the program in highly increased and feedback is almost entirely positive (a few issues around computer errors) but a substantial step forward from our previous systems. Our own staff report a much higher level of satisfaction with the program and with their deepening understanding of our patrons
We continue to be surprised internally about where we have not been historically successful in programming and so continue to look for opportunities to improve.
Having a simplified brand under the ACT One umbrella for Access, Connection and Transformation has made the starting point of the roll out work well and given us a simple focus that is repeatable and clear. The committees work is deeper than before and action is the new identifier of success. We are surprised by how often we need to say, and say again, the tenets of the program to all stakeholders (staff, artists, board, audiences, partners) but with each statement there is more buy in and belief.

Gamestart Asia 2016: Esports and Indie Games Are in the Forefront
At Gamestart Asia's press conference held on 28 September 2016, Red Dot Diva was glad to see that the organizer Eliphant, continues to have its heart in the right place regarding this annual event.
Other than the usual gaming competitions, game launches and cosplay, they have included more variety into the show with madcap events, pop-culture related geekery, like a Grand Prix chair race held by Secretlab. Imagine getting decked out in helmets or goggles, zooming down an isle and propelling mad levels of speed with while sitting on a Secretlab chair! (Click here for more information about this crazy race held during the convention.)
For its third year, there is a marked increase in the show's focus toward local and regional gaming talent, especially in the area of esports, with multiple tournaments being carried out during the weekend, like the Overwatch Champions Singapore Tournament, which will grant the top-voted indie a trip to exhibit at the Taipei Game Show 2017.

I'm Steve Ward, but people didn't recognise me at social media industry events, until I mention CloudNineRec – because that's how over 6,000 people recognised me on Twitter for a while. Now, I'm plain old Steve Ward to most people now. Hopefully, because I made my mark.
After 15 years in nomadic recruitment consultancy existence, I tripped over the social media industry in 2009, and on the advice of a new found client – re-directed my recruitment focus, methodology and client and candidate market – to focus on recruiting social media and digital communications talent. This was when CloudNine Social Media & Digital Talent was born.
I'd been a recruiter who had dabbled in using Twitter and Linkedin – but the thought of building a recruitment strategy around them, and delving into the worlds of Facebook etc, was a distant thought. On discovering social media for recruitment, I got trained in social media strategy, and re-directed my business.
It's the most fun and rewarding times I've had in my recruitment existence, and I've been lucky to win many awards, do exciting work, and meet great people from within the industry I supply, and amongst the social recruiting fraternity.
I've also guested as a specialist on the subject of Social Media & Hiring/Job-seeking on webinars, twitter chats and articles, for The Guardian Careers, The Telegraph, Jobsite, TotalJobs a number of #RecHangouts, and even in Glamour Magazine!
Within the recruitment industry I have spoken at events run by The Recruiter, The REC, CIETT conference, Recruitment International and Recruiter.com; as well as being a `regular` on Bill Boorman's TRU recruitment unconference circuit – discussing and speaking on all things relating to how recruitment companies can apply social media to their communications mix. I have also been featured in articles in The Guardian, Glamour, EsCouter magazine, Recruitment International and The Recruiter.
In 2013, I merged CloudNine with the Angela Mortimer Group – a company that stood for the same standards as CloudNine, although from a different angle. In September 2015, I decided to step away from CloudNine, and take up some offers to do some other stuff; as well as retaining a little more of the same.
I still recruit Social Media & Digital communications people, but also I consult with recruitment agencies and departments in lamens terms, on how social media is applicable and accessible – because I've done it. I've made that transition. Sourcing talent yes, but more pertinently how to win business and solid clients through social media.
I also have a huge passion for Future Talent & Graduates, and their transition into digital careers, and so events such as #MyDigitalCareer have been enablers for new graduates to hear from leading industry specialists. Ambitions for #MyDigitalAcademy are on the agenda for beyond 2016. This is another area I speak regularly in, for Universities, Careers Shows and for excellent organisations such as Inspiring Futures.
You can read about my change and plans on this piece on LinkedIn in September 2015.

|Mechanism of Rectification in Tunneling Junctions Based on Molecules with Asymmetric Potential Drops

|This paper proposes a mechanism for the rectification of current by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates with Fc head groups (SC\(_{11}\)Fc) in SAM-based tunneling junctions with ultra-flat Ag bottom electrodes and liquid metal (Ga\(_2\)O\(_3\)/EGaIn) top electrodes. A systematic physical-organic study based on statistically large numbers of data (N = 300−1000) reached the conclusion that only one energetically accessible molecular orbital (the HOMO of the Fc) is necessary to obtain large rectification ratios \(R \approx 1.0 \times 10^{2} (R = |J(−V)|/|J(V)|\) at \(±1\) V\()\). Values of R are log-normally distributed, with a log-standard deviation of 3.0. The HOMO level has to be positioned spatially asymmetrically inside the junctions (in these experiments, in contact with the Ga\(_2\)O\(_3\)/EGaIn top electrode, and separated from the Ag electrode by the SC\(_{11}\) moiety) and energetically below the Fermi levels of both electrodes to achieve rectification. The HOMO follows the potential of the Fermi level of the Ga\(_2\)O\(_3\)/EGaIn electrode; it overlaps energetically with both Fermi levels of the electrodes only in one direction of bias.

School Nutrition Association 2007 Trends Report Finds Districts Offering More Whole Grains, Healthier Beverages and More Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
ALEXANDRIA, VA--(Marketwire - October 16, 2007) - Parents visiting their child's school
cafeteria during National School Lunch Week are seeing more whole grains, a
greater amount of fresh fruits and vegetables and a wider selection of
healthful beverages. The School Nutrition Association's (SNA) 2007 Trends
Report, released today, found that increased availability of whole grain
products is the most commonly reported policy/effort in place and that more
school districts are implementing food and nutrition policies, even as the
costs to do so increase -- 85% of respondents report experiencing increased
food, labor, gas and transportation costs.
Released annually, the Trends Report is based on a survey of 200 school
districts nationwide conducted in July 2007. The Report provides evidence
of the continuing efforts underway in America's schools to promote healthy
eating habits among children. Other policies in place among a majority of
districts include increasing the availability of healthier beverages in
vending machines (81%), reducing/limiting trans fat content (74%), limiting
fat content of a la carte/vending items (73%) and increasing the
availability of fresh fruits/vegetables on a la carte lines and/or vending
machines (69%). Policy deployment is increased for nearly every area from
past years, including the percentage of districts with a policy that limits
the fat content of a la carte and/or vending items rising to 73% from 38%
in 2004.
The Report also describes new efforts taken by school nutrition programs
for the current school year, including increased offerings (and a greater
variety) of fruits, vegetables, whole grain products; a consistent and
continual emphasis on wellness as schools move forward with the
implementation of their wellness policies; limiting portion/serving sizes;
developing and implementing nutrition education programs for students,
teachers and staff; and using alternative preparation techniques, such as
elimination of deep-frying.
While the record of school nutrition professionals demonstrates significant
progress toward promoting a healthy childhood weight, the financial
implications for self-sustaining school nutrition programs remains a
concern. The Report found costs for food, labor and gas/transportation are
clearly affecting school foodservice operations -- about 85% of the
respondents report that their program experienced increases in these costs
last school year. Most districts (63.5%) state that the National School
Lunch Program reimbursement was not sufficient for their district to cover
the costs of producing a meal. The Report makes clear that additional
funding is needed from the local, state or federal level for school
nutrition programs to offer more nutrient-dense meals.
The Trends Report release comes during National School Lunch Week, which
was established in 1963 by a proclamation by President John F. Kennedy. It
is designed to help raise awareness of and garner support for the role that
school foodservice and nutrition programs play in the lives of America's
SNA (http://www.schoolnutrition.org), the School Nutrition Association, is
a national, non-profit professional organization representing more than
55,000 members who provide high-quality, low-cost meals to students across
the country. The Association and its members are dedicated to feeding
children safe and nutritious meals. Founded in 1946, SNA is the only
association devoted exclusively to protecting and enhancing children's
health and well being through school meals and sound nutrition education.

In starting an 1880 campaign as France, I started out doing what I usually do with this scenario, turning off all factories and mines form the F4 screen, then turning on some of the individual factories, mines, and fields by going to an individual city, clicking on the area that holds the factories, or going to the display of fields and mines, clicking on it, and turning on some of the mines and factories.
At some point during this process, the game shows an error message and crashes to the desktop. Sometimes the factory and field displays do not show the factories, mines, or fields, even though the F4 screen says they are there. Sometimes I can find them by using the arrows on the display, at other times the game crashes if I try to use the arrows.
Just clicking on the circle that opens the display of fields and mines can cause the crash, as can just clicking on that part of a city that opens the display showing factories and buildings.
I have never experienced this before the 1.04.3 patch. Usually I play the 1850 Grand Campaign, which does not have this problem.
However, I have not been able to complete my economic adjustments even once in the 1880 scenario before it crashes to the desktop.
Has anyone else seen this?

Okay, I admit it…. I'm a bit of a tree hugger.
When I first moved to Georgia in 1989 (from my beloved, but virtually treeless, Texas) one of the things I loved most about the area were the roadsides filled with trees. I enjoyed being surrounded by greenery as I went about my daily tasks – even on the main highways.
Unfortunately, over time, HWY-285 and HWY-75 were expanded and the trees were removed leaving the devastated roadsides littered with billboards (what I call "litter on a stick").
I prayed that GA-400 would never face the same fate, but about two years ago a huge section of trees were removed between exits 12 and 13 to make way for three huge, ugly billboards and my heart just broke. With all of the new construction underway in our area, trees are being sacrificed on a daily basis, but this was just too much!
I was so thankful when I heard that a ruling had been made that the company and landowner responsible for this are being forced to replace at least a portion of the trees. Will they be the beautiful, mature trees that were removed? Of course not! But I do hope that it's enough to keep other companies and landowners from trying to skirt the rules just to line their own pockets.
Now, if we can just put a stop to developer clear cutting….

Traveling through Asia, it's incredible to witness men scaling sky-high scaffolding constructed entirely out of bamboo. A lightweight and structurally strong "green" material, bamboo is a grass that is one of the world's fastest growing plants. Part of the inaugural Beijing Design Triennial exhibition at the National Museum, the Rethinking Bamboo exhibition explored new applications for this traditional material in architecture, transportation, furniture, lighting and craft. Curated by Freeman Lau (Vice Chairman of Hong Kong Design Center) and Tsinghua University's Hang Jian (Vice Dean of the Academy of Arts and Design), the exhibition showcases the work of 66 designers representing Asia, Europe and the United States.
I was particularly taken by Indian industrial designer Sandeep Sangaru's beautifully crafted and functional pieces for the home. Bent bamboo strips joined like lattice work form the foundation of asymmetric bookshelves, chairs and benches.

An 'oxygen pill' is a small pill which, when taken, allows the user to breathe and survive in various inhospitable environments, such as those with no or rarified atmosphere.[1] An oxygen pill lasts for only a short time and must be taken regularly for an extended stay in a vacuum. Oxygen pills replaced space suits as the preferred means for facilitating Extra Vehicular Activities in space some time in the 50 years preceding the events of Fireball XL5.[2]
Behind the CameraEdit
The oxygen pill was conceived as a plot device which allowed the crew to avoid changing the puppets into space suits. Costume changes were time consuming as the puppet clothes had to be unstitched and then re-sewn onto the puppets[3].

When shopping for a home you want to get a good deal. You don't want to find out after closing that you could have gotten a bigger home in a nicer neighborhood for less than you just paid. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to determine the true fair market price for something as unique as an individual home. Learn about the best ways to value a home here.
Home Valuations
An inexact science
A true real estate professional will tell you that there is only one actual value for a home, and it's simply the highest price that a buyer is willing to pay right now. Anything else is just a guesstimate. That being understood, you can now start looking at the common factors that influence the cost of a home.
Factors that affect a home's value
One of the things that makes home valuation so difficult is the fact that hundreds of different variables make up the worth of a home. And these variables are valued differently by different buyers, and change over time as demographics and styles shift. A very abbreviated list of these components would include things like:
- Location. And we're not just talking city or neighborhood. Even the home's location on a street is a factor.
- Size. Square footage, number of levels, ceiling heights, etc.
- Land. Front and back yards, landscaping, outbuildings, etc.
- Age
- Proximity to water
- Construction. Layout, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, fit and finish
- Features. Quality and style of appliances, cabinetry, fireplaces, flooring
- Transportation. Proximity to public transportation, traffic
- Government. Taxes, quality of schools, public services
- Views and sightlines
Professional appraisals
Appraisals are formal estimates of a home's market value done by a professional licensed by the state. You won't be able to finance a new home without having a professional appraisal done, but you won't have an appraisal done on every home you have interest in. That's why it's important to have your own methods for determining the fairness of a seller's asking price.
Using past sales records for comparable homes
One standard practice in home valuations is to look at the past selling price of comparable homes. Most counties keep sales records online, or you can access them at the local courthouse. Comparable homes are those of similar size and layout in the same neighborhood.
This method of home valuation is problematic for several reasons. One, it's tough to decide what is truly a "comparable" home. You won't know what interior improvements and upgrades (or flaws) may be affecting the price that other homes sold for. Two, housing markets are not static. Prices are always either rising or falling. So looking at data that's not recent will give you a false impression of the current market. Finally, if there are not a lot of turnover in a market, there won't be enough data to make a sound evaluation.
Searching current listings
In a volatile housing market it may be better to look at the current asking price of comparable homes. Using the map-based search tool on HotPads.com, you can search for current for-sale listings on a given street or zoom out to see an entire city. You can narrow your search by factors like number of bedrooms to refine your search.
Another thing to look for is the length of time that a home has been listed for sale. Slow-moving homes are an indication of overpriced homes.
Market trends
One of the things you'll need to be careful about is overpaying in a declining market, or failing to bid high enough in a rising one. Knowing how the market is trending is in your benefit. Statistics from the National Association of Realtors will let you know how different metro areas are trending. Things like populations shifts, employment opportunities and foreclosures can impacts metro area trends.
"Green" premiums
With rising energy costs and more concern for environmental awareness, energy efficiency is a growing factor in home valuations. If a home has solar or wind generators, a green roof, low-impact appliances or other "green" features it will sell for more than comparable homes without these hot design elements.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A surge in mobile Internet usage has U.S. regulators considering whether to apply the same rules to fixed and wireless Internet traffic, and large technology firms are siding with consumer advocates to call for such a change.
The Federal Communications Commission is now rewriting the so-called "net neutrality" rules, aimed at ensuring that Internet providers do not unfairly block or slow down users' access to content on the web, after their 2010 version was rejected in January by an appeals court. As part of that process, the agency is seeking comments on whether it should take a fresh look at distinctions now drawn between wireless and wireline networks.

This past year was full of unexpected changes for our family; and though in the beginning things looked grim, the Lord blessed the final outcome. This was also the year in which I finally started to blog regularly, something I'd been wanting to do for years.
I want to thank you, my readers for your support and encouragement in this season, and I can't begin to explain how exited I am about what is coming in 2017.
Here are your top posts from 2016.
10. The Importance of Chores
Yes, we all want to serve our families, children included; however failing to teach them to serve others will only hurt them in the end.
9. Worship Through Song Series
I originally intended to take the 31 writing day challenge and post every single day in October but it was much more difficult than I expected. Instead I shared 20 worship songs that deeply move me to a closer relationship with the One who came as a vulnerable baby, and mightily saved my life.
8. Pre-School Christmas Crafts
Minimal supplies, and prep time, perfect crafts for your homeschool or Sunday school.
7. Curriculum Choices
Our curriculum choices for this year, not surprised this one made the list. I'm always interested in seeing what others are using.
6. Self-Care Tips For Moms
Webster defines tired as in need of rest, or weary. How many times have you used any of these words to describe how you feel this week alone?
5. Homeschooling On The Go
Even though we call this thing we do homeschooling, most of us spend a great deal of time learning and teaching outside our homes. Because of our busy schedules, we often take school 'to-go'. Here's a list of the 10 best supplies for homeschooling on the go in our opinion.
4. Summer Homeschool Prep Series
How do you prepare for the new homeschool year? Here are 10 ways to set yourself up for success.
3. Middle School Reading List
A massive list of great books my kids and I have read and loved, this is not a list of complete randomness.
2. Apologetics In The Home
Apologetics have become a very important part of my life. This is post is a prequel of a year-long weekly series in 2017.
1. Homeschool Organization
I totally expected this post to end up in this list!

I suppose my ethnicity could be described as "Hispanic white" just as the New York Times has described George Zimmerman – arguably the most reviled man in America for shooting and killing Trayvon Martin.
Martin was the unarmed 17-year-old African American youth who was wearing a hoodie in a gated community when Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, shot him and later claimed self-defense.
All week, controversy over Zimmerman's ethnicity – he is Peruvian on his mother's side – has been combustible fuel in a story highlighting racial tension in America.
His family and friends claim that because he is half Latino, he is not capable of racially targeting Martin.
Zimmerman has already escaped arrest for the Feb. 26 killing because of a Florida self-defense law that "grants people more leeway to attack and even kill someone who is threatening him," wrote the Wall Street Journal.
National outrage speaks to public doubt of Zimmerman's self-defense claim. His family's assertions that he is not capable of racism have exacerbated public unrest.
To many, the central issue is that Martin was a young African American in a hoodie, a symbol of foreboding in our culture. His death became an example of how such young men can be subject to racial profiling and even be murdered without repercussions.
I wasn't going to write about this issue but felt compelled to do so.
As the light-skinned son of Mexican immigrants, I know that in our weak moments, Latinos are just as capable of racism as anyone else.
Anyone who says otherwise is either lying, delusional or is related to Zimmerman as he hides out amid national scorn.
If you travel throughout Latin America, you'll see cultures and communities that often mistreat citizens with dark skin. In Mexico, there is no greater insult than to call someone an "Indio," or Indian.
The wealthiest communities and major television networks in Latin America are populated with people of light skin and light eyes.
I could go on and on, but the point is that Zimmerman's ethnicity is a red herring.
The 911 tapes indicate Zimmerman made derogatory comments about Martin based on his appearance.
A police dispatcher in Sanford, Fla., told Zimmerman that authorities did not want him to follow Martin.
The point of a neighborhood watch is to look out for your neighbors, call police if need be – and then get out of the way. It wasn't Zimmerman's place to engage Martin in any way.
Meanwhile, what's the worst that you can say about Martin, whose death has inspired protests in Sacramento and gained global attention? That there is a chance Martin might have met Zimmerman's aggression with aggression?
I might have done the same thing when I was a 17-year-old kid. A young man at that age has limited judgment. His ability to process anger and fear is remedial compared to later in life.
You're young and dumb. I often reflect on those late teenage years and thank God I didn't get killed and miss all the joy that lay ahead of me.
When I think of Martin, I'm reminded of Daniel Hahn, who recently became the first African American police chief in Roseville. As a mixed-race teenager in Oak Park, Hahn had his angry and rebellious moments and was even arrested once by Sacramento police – the department where he would later serve with distinction.
Today, Hahn is a role model and a beloved figure among his circle of friends and colleagues. But what if he had crossed paths with someone who was unprepared to carry a gun when Hahn was still stumbling as a teenager?
A life of joy and achievement would have never enriched other lives, including mine.
President Barack Obama said if he had a son, he would have looked like Martin. Friends such as Sheldon Orviss, a TV personality on Fox 40, posed in a hoodie along with his three sons in a moving photograph Orviss posted on his Facebook page. Other friends and associates did so as well.
The faces in these photographs spoke to the sanctity of life, a point too easily lost in the din of our racial politics.
A hoodie is just a hoodie. A gun is just a gun. But a life is precious. Martin might have lived a life of distinction and joy, but we'll never know.
The smoking gun in this story isn't what he was wearing or whether he was the aggressor with Zimmerman. The smoking gun is that the gun never should have been fired at all.

Beazley has once again had a bid rejected by competitor's Hardy Underwriting.
A previous 300p per share offer was rejected, followed by the most recent offer of 330p. The Hardy board would not recommend the sale and according to Beazley were not even willing to meet and discuss it.
Beazley has suggested that shareholders should put increased pressure on the Hardy board as the price offered was above the company's highest share price reached previously.

DRAMA CLUB: The Suspicious Housekeeper 9-10 (1/2)
Finally the story has developed even more and we've reached what may or may not be the peak of the drama! Why oh why do you do this me by leaving the cliff hanger to trump all cliff hangers?
So first off I'd just like to say I find this drama highly entertaining yet very frustrating. For one, every single episode (well maybe just half of them) is left with a cliff hanger to make you shake your computer screen. The biggest thing that caught my eye in episode nine though was the ever handsome Choi Soo Hyuk. I honestly cannot be the only one dreamy sighing over his face. Have you seen the eyes on that boy? Oh is he gorgeous. I think he still likes Han Kyul with the way he looked so surprised when almost being caught during his part time job.
Alright, back on track with Soo Hyuk the playboy. He of course lost brownie points because of him playing with poor miss Han Kyul. However, the moment his father was introduced it all clicked into place. I'm not giving him an excuse or anything, but come on guys. His father is obviously a dead beat but the kid loves him. That's his daddy and he's being a total jerk. I think we've found 'Worst Dad on the Planet' at this point in the drama.
Threatens the poor kid with ruining what his mother is struggling to maintain. I honestly wanted to punch him. Just because of him I'm letting Sang Chul off the hook for worst dad award as well as grumpy grandpa. Especially because Sang Chul returned home to his lovely children to prove he loves them. He even broke up with Song Hwa for them! I was pretty impressed with him finally leaving her behind and continuing on with the life he knows he should lead.
Now onto the good stuff I learned and I'm sure some of you kiddos learned as well. Bok Nyeo's real name is Eun Soo. Pretty sure I'm sticking to Bok Nyeo at this point in the drama. She told her story which for some reason I felt I knew already but I know I didn't have any clue beforehand. Maybe it's because of the clue drops or just because it makes sense!
Everyone got emotional during this. Even grandpa was found to have a soul after seeming like a demon since the very beginning. That was sweet to know he felt something toward Bok Nyeo's situation. Her husband and son died in a fire that could have very well been set by a stalker she met in college. See, this is what I'm talking about. They reveal one secret and major need to know fact, then suddenly throw another thing in your face with the fact he may have faked his own death to cover up what he did!
These episodes are just some jam packed with good stuff. I can't even express what I'm feeling and what I want to talk about because I'd just tell you from beginning to end what's happened. So why don't you go watch the episodes before I end up blabbing away.

Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) January 17, 2008
Arxan Technologies, a leading provider of application hardening solutions designed to protect software IP from piracy and tampering, today announced that Washington SmartCEO Magazine, a regional growing company publication, has named Arxan as a winner of their Future 50 Award. The Future 50 program recognizes the 50 fastest growing companies in the Greater Washington area based on employee and revenue growth. Already an established leader in software intellectual property (IP) protection, Arxan was selected as a Future 50 winner based on its rapid expansion and continued revenue growth.
Arxan's GuardIT™ offering provides durable, comprehensive IP protection for software without adversely affecting application performance or the software development process itself. Arxan's technology can be deployed quickly via a binary-based solution that is not intrusive and supports existing release schedules within an organization's Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Through an interconnected mesh of small security units called Guards scattered across a compiled binary and then dissolved into the application, Arxan's protection deeply fortifies the overall software product against piracy, tampering, reverse engineering or other forms of attack.
"The Future 50 Awards are rooted in a deep commitment toward celebrating local companies who have illustrated a clear dedication to driving their organization forward and setting the highest standards of success," said Craig Burris, publisher of SmartCEO. "We congratulate these companies and are honored to share in their achievement."
"SmartCEO's acknowledgment of Arxan as a foremost technology provider in our region reaffirms our commitment toward setting and surpassing the level of excellence we set for ourselves and which we extend to our employees and customers," said Mike Dager, CEO of Arxan.

About SmartCEO Awards

Each month, a variety of businesses in the greater Washington and greater Baltimore areas turn to our pages for features, case-study advice and trend analysis, all with a uniquely local flavor.

What happens when you combine San Francisco Giants pitching, free sausages and a whole lot of cell phones?
For the third time this season, Giants pitchers struck out at least 13 batters in a home game Wednesday night, which entitled everyone in AT&T Park to a free package of Johnsonville sausages from Safeway.
Carlos Avila Gonzalez/The Chronicle
To get the free dogs, you had to text "Safeway" to a number that flashed on the scoreboard.
I was at the game without my phone but the three people I came with tried texting the number and got nothing, which left me wondering how you got those free dogs. (I guess the days of turning in your ticket stubs for a freebie are over.) This morning I tried texting the number but got a message that said the receiver was unable to receive the message.
So I called Safeway's customer service. A representative told me that the promotion worked fine the first time the Giants fanned 13, but the next two times, "Just so many people were texting the towers were overloaded."
She told me to call Giants customer service, where a rep confirmed that there had been "issues" with people getting through the last two times the staff struck out 13.
What you are supposed to get in response to the text is a reply that tells you go to a Web site, enter a code and get a coupon, which you print out and take to Safeway.
"We think it was just a capacity issue, but we're not sure," Safeway spokeswoman Teena Massingill said.
The Giants couldn't say how many of the 38,000-plus in attendance were shut out of the promotion, which has been running all season.
"We're still trying to determine how widespread the problem was last night," team spokeswoman Staci Slaughter said in an e-mail. "As a result, we've decided to suspend the promotion for the rest of the season and we'll work during the off season to ensure that we don't have these issues moving forward."
She added that, "Approximately 3,000 people did redeem their coupons last night via text. While that is considered a high redemption rate, we also want to make sure that no one who attended last night's game is turned away from redeeming their package of brats."
Fans who didn't get a text reply can send their Sept. 29 ticket or a copy of it to Giants/Johnsonville, P.O. Box 91990, Pasadena, CA 91109. They will receive a coupon in the mail to be redeemed at their local Safeway.
A lot of work for a pack of sausages.

In case you missed it, Tues night was the opening for Kenneth Cappello's Acid Drop show at Milk Gallery. It featured an epic selection of skate pics from his youth curated by the amazing Tim Barber. Those kids had some seriously sick style back then! We rolled up early to "beat the crowd" but the gallery filled up in a matter of minutes. After chugging several free drinks and running into some kids I knew, I decided to skip around like a maniac and grab some snaps of the party scene.
This is my girl D. She likes music and making peace signs.
I had to show off my armpit fringe (pic by Jess).

MA: C&R/ Non-Dealer Class A Hi-Cap mag permit

OH: If claiming tax exemption, you will need to submit a blanket exemption certificate. Visit our Forms Page to Download. Dealers which reside in Ohio must have a Blanket of Exemption form on file prior to first order being placed, in order for that order to be exempt.
- What is the email address/fax number to send my signed FFL/C&R to?
Our only email address is: email@example.com
Our 24-hour fax line is: (513) 932-8928
Our mailing address is:
Lebanon, OH 45036
NOTE: Once received, we will have your account set up to order within 1 business day.
- What do I have to do to buy Ammo? (Online, By Phone, Pick-Up)
SOG requires proof of age on all ammunition purchases for liability reasons. For in person purchases, anyone over 18 can buy long gun ammo or over 21 can buy handgun ammo after providing some official ID such as drivers license, state ID card, passport, or military ID to establish date of birth. The ID number and date of birth are entered on your purchase invoice.
When placing the order either by phone or online at southernohiogun.com you will be asked to make a statement of your date of birth, and that you are complying with all applicable laws. Persons over 18 but under 21 may order ammo for a long gun. Some states have additional restrictions.
By placing an order for Ammunition, you certify you are in compliance with the following:
- You certify you are at least 21 years of age.
- You certify you have no felony convictions and are in full compliance with Local, State and 18 U.S. Code 922d 1-9, allowing for the lawful purchase of ammunition.
- You declare under penalty of perjury (under the laws of the United States of America) that all information provided to SOG is true and correct.
- How can I purchase a firearm from you if I am not a licensed dealer?
You will need to contact your local dealer to order, as SOG is a wholesale distributor.
Navigating our Web Site:
- What is the wish list?
Our wish list is for your reference only. You can keep track of items you may be interested in purchasing in the future by using this feature.
- Images on Website
Images on the website may differ slightly (for example: grip style, hammer style, tactical rail, accessories, etc.) from products that are in stock. Every effort will be made to keep these variations to a minimum. We are not responsible for typographical errors.
- What does the "handpick" option cover?
By adding handpick to your item, you will be receiving the best cosmetic condition of 15 guns. This does not necessarily mean you will get a better grade firearm. (For example, if you add the Handpick option to a firearm that states "very good to excellent condition", you will get the best out of the 15 guns pulled.). We also can handpick for certain manufacturers, dates, and other details (subject to availability.). Some requests may not be available in some circumstances. SOG does not have a gunsmith, so we suggest having a gunsmith check your firearms upon arrival.

Stacked; Patterns and Piles explores the repetition seen in Architecture. Through drawing, painting and photography, I explore balance, proportion, and geometric patterning as they create structural forms and the visual patterning of architecture, the moment where contrasting lines merge. Visitors are encouraged to participate through creating patterns inspired by design they encounter, to add to an interactive mural as well as to challenge their ability to design a balanced structure. As children we begin creating structure using simple building blocks, these units challenge us to consider form and function- making design choices while maintaining structural integrity. Kara Skyling's is influenced by pattern found in urban landscapes and architecture. Through the creation of abstract paintings, inspired by the arrangement of industrial material and the construction of architecture, her work explores the patterns and repetition of our built landscape. Influenced by the human interaction with variations of place, movement, and time; I create deconstructed compositions and images using line, form, and color with a focus on process, repetition and material.

Just as you do with your own patients, we can provide expertise, reassurance and support
Medicolegal advisory service
You can phone or email us for advice to help resolve the many dilemmas that can arise from everyday practice. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for urgent advice. Requests for medicolegal assistance can be directed to a toll-free advice line (800 908 433) and email address (firstname.lastname@example.com). This direct access is underpinned by our established panel of local expert lawyers and experienced medicolegal advisers.
We can help you formulate a response to a complaint and assist and support you through to its resolution. We can work with you to look at why complaints arise and how to minimise the risks of recurrence. Handling media attention If you attract adverse publicity, we can issue press statements and act as spokesperson to the media to shield you as far as possible from having to deal directly with the press.
Counselling and support
We offer access to a 24/7 counselling service if you are suffering from stress and anxiety as a result of situations such as complaints, claims, or disciplinary or a MCHK investigation. It is an independent service tailored to your requirements and delivered by fully trained, qualified and registered psychologists and counsellors. The service is entirely independent and confidential – MPS is not informed of the details of consultations – and accessing the service is via the relevant medicolegal case handler, who will be able to provide the service's freephone number.
MPS strongly believes in the preventative value of education and risk management. We are committed to helping you avoid problems, allowing you to provide the best possible care for your patients. We have a wealth of experience and expertise in helping doctors and other healthcare professionals to reduce the risks that arise from your practice. The educational programmes provided by MPS are based on more than 120 years experience and expertise in this field, and concentrate on the following topics:
As an MPS member you can also access our E-learning platform, Prism, which contains a series of interactive case reports suitable for doctors at all levels.

Right now I'm letting tea steep so I can make sweet tea for out cook out, and trying to plan a summer reading list. Also highly exciting plans. The plan for today is to spend the evening with the family, swim in my aunt's pool while trying to avoid being drowned by the cousins, and probably have E back tonight for slushes and movies. Now that she is out of school I'm sure I'll have her here at least three times a week, probably more. This is always fun, but slightly exhausting...sometimes I have trouble keeping up with a nine year old, especially one with so much energy! Hopefully this summer with little to no work will give me the time I need to work on some projects here at home and to successfully deal with the stress I've been under due to family drama. I'd like to start next school year a happier, healthier person and I'm planning to use this summer to do make that happen!
*Hands down my favorite thing on the Sonic menu.

Guess what? It's time for Sugar, sugar 3 – a sugary and chill puzzle game, all game-addicts! This new episode will surely stimulate your brain once again. Let get yourself dipped to 30 sweet levels here!
Like the first two versions, in this edition, the players' major objective is to draw and get enough sugar in the cups of each level. You know the deal, right? Okay, look at the screen! The sugar will fall into the ground, so you must think of an effective way to add the sugar to the cup. In fact, all you need to draw a line quickly and accurately. What for? With those lines, the sugar will follow them and go straight to the cup perfectly. Continue playing to test your smartness and cleverness via different challenges. Once you're asked to deliver sugar to the red, orange, or green cup, it's a must to bring the 'white color' to the 'color purifier'.
Will you overcome all the challenging levels in Sugar, sugar 3? Hope you succeed!

Preparing for marriage is vital!
But my lands, many of the pre marriage counseling programs offered cost hundreds of dollars. While I could argue that you should spend as much as it takes to get counseling before marriage – the hard reality these days is that money is in short supply for many.
One of the exciting things for me is to be able to offer my At-Home Marriage Preparation Guide at a price that is affordable for anyone.
Not only that, but it has surprised and pleased me to find that this do it at-home premarital preparation course has been called:
