Complete 2013-14 Season Preview for the Tampa Bay LightningSeptember 29, 2013
Complete 2013-14 Season Preview for the Tampa Bay Lightning
The Tampa Bay Lightning's preseason slate is finished and final roster tweaks should be soon. With the Bolts' opening night on Oct. 3 in Boston, we can now take a complete look at the 2013-14 season.
Fans will hope the preseason wasn't a fluke. Much like the hot start to the abbreviated season last year, the Lightning went 5-2 in this year's preseason. The Lightning went undefeated in four "home" games, which is a good sign.
Still, preseason success doesn't count towards the postseason—an achievement the Lightning haven't earned since 2011. Head coach Jon Cooper has had a full offseason to make this team his own. Here is a complete look at the 2013-14 season for the Bolts.
Key Roster Changes
The Lightning could have a revolving door for a few spots. With all of the young talent and depth at forward, don't be surprised to see new faces throughout the season.
This offseason, the Bolts did a nice job of providing Cooper with his own team. Cooper should be able to put the systems and players into place through a few key offseason acquisitions.
Arrivals: Valtteri Filppula (free agent), Jonathan Drouin (draft)
Departures: Vincent Lecavalier (Philadelphia), Benoit Pouliot (New York Rangers)
It was a quiet offseason for the Bolts. They will rely on organizational depth and young talent to complete the 82-game season, which includes the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Projected 2013-14 Depth Chart
On Sept. 29, the Lightning announced their final roster cuts. One notable cut was first-round selection Jonathan Drouin. Included in the eight-defensemen roster are Mattias Ohlund (injured) and Brian Lee—who got demoted to the AHL last season. Expect some fluidity in this final 23-man roster.
Ryan Malone-Stamkos-St. Louis
Labrie-Thompson-B.J. Crombeen
(Tom Pyatt)
(Keith Aulie, Mark Barberio, Brian Lee, Mattias Ohlund)
Goalies: Ben Bishop, Anders Lindback
Biggest X-Factor
Alex Killorn
With secondary scoring as a focus for the Lightning's new direction, Alex Killorn can step into a bigger role. Possibly a second-line forward, Killorn got a taste of the NHL last season. He had 19 points in 38 games last season.
He is a minute-eater—averaging nearly 17 minutes per game last year. Though he is young in NHL years, Killorn is a veteran of the game. He finished his NCAA career at Harvard and has gone through the minor-league ranks.
As a versatile two-way player, Killorn could see a significant amount of time as a top-six forward. He has garnered some noteworthy praise in his young career.
Per Mike Morreale of NHL.com, Tampa Bay director of amateur scouting Al Murray said:
"He progressed every year as a player both offensively and defensively. He's got a quick release and a nose for the net offensively, and is a real big body and hard player to play against without the puck. Alex is a player we've been waiting for and are excited about."
Best and Worst Case Scenarios
The Lightning have been a polarizing team since the 2004 Stanley Cup Championship. Tampa Bay has intermittent years of greatness followed by dark spells that include horrible finishes. Last year, they finished 28th in the league and look to bounce back to playoff form.
Best Case: The Atlantic Division is a tough new home for the Lightning. With five playoff teams from last season, it won't be easy to get to the postseason. There is no denying the Lightning have the talent to make the playoffs—it's about execution and consistency.
The top three from each division make the playoffs with two wildcard spots. Best-case scenario for the Lightning is that coveted top-three finish. That would mean solid goaltending and average defense.
The offense will be there. It's up to the rest of Cooper's system to mesh.
Worst Case: The worst-case scenario for the club this season is a repeat of last year. The Bolts started the year off on top of the standings before hitting some rough ice. By the time all was done, the Lightning found themselves drafting the No. 3 pick—not a good spot.
An up-and-down—or majorly down—season could warm up the seat for general manager Steve Yzerman. There is always that possibility with all of the young players looking to make an impact this year, but Tampa Bay can ill afford that performance against so many powerhouse franchises.
Final Prediction
Bolts finish Third in Atlantic
The Atlantic Division is going to be a tough division. Buffalo and Florida could be considered the weakest teams. With Ryan Miller in goal in Buffalo and Tim Thomas in Florida, no one will want to face either squad if the goaltenders get hot.
Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Detroit and Boston will all be battling with Tampa Bay for the playoff spots.
Tampa Bay will be in a dogfight for the postseason, but if they pull the right strings should be on the positive sign of the cutoff.
Steven Stamkos, Martin St. Louis, Victor Hedman, Matt Carle and Ben Bishop will need to play at a high level while the young players get acclimated to the NHL. Cooper will have his hands full, but he has found success at every level.
It's time to bring that success to the NHL.

New Times: Your album Murdered Love came out recently. How's the response been so far to the album?
Sonny Sandoval: So far, so good. I think we were number two in the rock charts that week. The response so far has been amazing. I'm on the road now supporting it.
What have people told you about the album. Has anyone come up and told you what they like the best? What they've most responded to?
In taking two years off, to clear our heads, just get away from the industry and whatever trends of music are out there right now. I think one of the biggest responses has been, just friends and family who are listening to the record over and over, that we've really gone back to our roots. Soundwise and lyrically. I know it sounds so cliché to say this -- I've never said it about an album -- but it probably is my favorite record. 'Cause I know we played every song on the record live. It's fun. It has a nice flow to it.
You guys are going on ShipRocked. Are there any other bands you're looking forward to performing with?
We do a lot of the rock shows. One of the bands, Godsmack, we were on the Uproar tour with all summer long. We just played with Korn. We see those guys all the time. We're all friends, so this is kind of more like a vacation for all of us if anything. You come out for a few days; we get you your flights and your cabins. This is a rock show. It's like, let's do it. It's going to be fun. All together, the bands are great.
It's just funny to think of all these like rock guys, all hard out there on the high seas drinking mai tais, getting tan. Is that what it's like?
[laughs] It's funny, because for me, I knew that this ShipRocked existed. I was like, "What kind of people actually go?" and it's almost sold out. They added Korn to the bill. You'd be amazed, just being on the road, after shows, people'll be like, "Yo, I'm going on that ShipRocked." It's like this is their vacation. They save up their money. I'm thinking it's like, who really, that's expensive, who's really going to go on this thing? But for rock fans, in their mind, it's like, yo, I'm going to go on a cruise; I'm going to get to hang around and talk to all of these bands. Because it really is, you're kind of locked in on this ship, so that's what you're kind of doing. You're mingling and having fun with all the passengers.
You guys make music with a Christian slant. You had a spiritual awakening when you were younger, is that true?
Yeah, I wasn't raised in the church. I come from a traditional Catholic family. When I came to faith, it was after my mom passed away. It was something that it was time to grow up, stop being a knucklehead. It was something I took serious, and then music just fell into my lap when I was asked to be in this band.
It was never like we set out, like we're going to be a Christian band. I didn't even know that existed. I didn't know that there were two different worlds. For me, I lived in one world, and I choose to have this faith, so I'm going to live it, because even the hardcore scene, the punk scene, even the hip-hop scene, it's like you are who you are. It was like when we write music, we talk about who we are, where we're from. Our experiences, what we know. I think we were so upfront, almost militant about our faith, people really, not to say took to it, but we were heard.
You have the Christian community that never understood us but then later on wanna kinda claim you as their own. So we've always kind of been stuck in that middle. But we've never wanted to be titled Christian music or band, because for everybody else in the world who are not Christian, we're not trying to segregate ourselves and say, "Hey, you know, our music is not for you." Because I don't think that's the case. I think our music is for everyone. If anything, I think, if anything, Christians have had the hardest time with us in the past because we were never Christian enough.
You have then fans from all different faiths. Rock fans. You are a Christian, then, not a Catholic.
I was baptized Catholic. Again, my grandmother and mother were from Italy; we went to church on Easter and Christmas. It was more of a religious thing, whereas when I became a Christian, it was more personal. I believed in something that I walk every day. I live by grace. It's just something that I believe in. I started walking in the moment with the Lord. I'm not a preacher. I'm not going out trying to convert the world, but I do feel that it's touched me so much that it's this truth that I want everyone to experience, but at the same time, I realized, you can't receive it when it's forced. It's something you live, not something you can just talk about. So, every day, I just try to be the best daddy that I can, the best husband, the best friend, best brother. Every day at a time.
Speaking of families. Are you bringing your family on the ShipRocked cruise too?
My wife is coming with me, but not my kids [laughs]. They're not sheltered, but they're too young.
You recently had your fans remake your logo. How'd you choose a winner?
We've had the same logo forever. It's just nowadays with social media, it's just, you know, content, content, content. It's like, let's do something cool. We're close to our fanbase, it's a new season, a new record -- let's put a new logo out there. So we had so many entries. We did go through all of them. There were some that were amazing; there were some that were just cute, funny, and cool; then there were those who stood out. We went with the one we kind of liked the best. Now it's just going to run with us on this album cycle.
Is this one of the first times you've done something interactive on the internet with your fans?
No, we've done stuff before. Nowadays, it's so much closer, with Twitter and all that stuff. We started this thing grassroots. It's only because of our fanbase that we've had the success that we do. Because before the internet, it was all phone calls, and people would call the radio, call MTV. We're aware of the power of that. We've done stuff with videogames. We've always done stuff with our fans that's something extra than just the music.
ShipRocked 2012 runs from November 27 to December 1, leaving from Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale. Purchase tickets here.

- Page 1 iRiver U10 Digital Media Player
- Page 2 iRiver U10
- Page 3 iRiver U10
- Page 4 iRiver U10
Key Features
- Review Price: £140.00
There's an interesting story behind the U10. Apparently, the head honcho at iRiver got together the whole design and engineering team back at base in Korea and told them to that they needed to change their thinking. He told them to go back to the drawing board and come up with something new – to make a complete U-turn with their thinking. U-Turn – U10, geddit.
It was a sensible idea. iRiver's range of largely me-too MP3 players were dull but worthy but there was no chance that these types of products were ever going to make any inroads on Apple's market share. Having said that, last year's N10, was one of the most stylish players ever, so there were previous signs that iRiver could come up with special products..
And if there's one thing the U10 is, it's certainly different. The player is an oblong shaped device and measures 69 x 47 x 16 mm. It's thicker than an iPod nano but shorter. Compared to the 42g nano, it is bulky though and at 70g, noticeably heavier.
The first time you plug in the player it will charge, taking one hour to fill up to 50 per cent, and 2.5 hours to charge fully. Playback for audio only is rated at a chunky 20 hours.
The intrigued aspect of it is that the device has a 2.2in, 320 x 240 screen that can display 260,000 colours – and that's it. Rather than being festooned with myriad small buttons to small to press, all the navigation buttons are part of the screen. You press at the top of the screen for left, at the right to move right and guess where to move up and down. It's a similar concept to the buttons integrated into the iPod's click-wheel. One issue though is that the size of the screen is actually deceptive as the edges are devoted to the buttons and frame the 320 x 240 resolution screen. The only thing is that with the constant pressing on the screen, you almost need to carry a cleaning cloth with the player at all times otherwise the screen gets covered in finger prints.

If you're searching for an alternate source of income in these hard times, then you should try affiliate marketing. If you want to start but have questions or don't know how, then the tips and
suggestions in this article should help you create a successful affiliate site that can become a great source of income.
Make sure you have a strategy before you get into affiliate marketing. You want to prepare a plan of what types of products you want to have available and how you are going to attract attention to your webpage. You can't expect to just make a webpage and that people will just find it. Plan things out and it should help with bringing people to your webpage.
Stay on top of changes in the commission structures your affiliates offer. Many affiliates will vary the commission they offer to website owners based on seasons, current sales figures and individual performance. If you keep up-to-date with your affiliates' commissions you can modify your website to emphasize or de-emphasize their products accordingly.
Many affiliate marketers overdo it. These individuals ultimately take on more than they can handle, eventually resulting in their failure. Keep in mind that there's no limit on the results you can achieve. It's just a matter of finding the techniques that give you results.
Look around for a mentor in affiliate marketing if you are not sure how to approach the business. There are thousands of successful affiliates out there who will lend you advice to get you started. You are not their competition at this point, so most are happy to help out. Check around the blogosphere and find experts in the field.
Take the time to go through all of the advertisements that you choose. Change them out on a regular basis. Think about what your readers might want to learn more about or may enjoy purchasing. This will keep your readers happy and introduce them to new ideas on a consistant basis.
Marketing a product you love is a great way to turn a "job" into a hobby, so try to pick something that really interests you and that really moves you emotionally. Your love for the product will come through and customers will pick up on this and ultimately buy more from you.
If you are marketing a product or business using a website, offer free advertising space to well-known companies in the same business. While this may seem counter-intuitive, the effect will be for customers to link your business with the more known business. This can increase your credibility in the market.
A great affiliate marketing tip is to look over your contracts carefully and to not sign anything that restricts what you can sell on your own site. Sometimes companies will try to throw special stipulations into contracts that will restrict you from selling products that are from a different company.
You can make a lot of profits through a successful affiliate site. However, to make it successful, you need to put in a lot of effort and your valuable time to make it attractive to your audience. If you follow the tips and tricks in this article, you'll definitely see a boost in profits from your site.
If you're searching for an alternate source of income in these hard times, then you should try affiliate marketing. If you want to start but have questions or don't know how, then the tips and

Reading Notebook
Dispatches from the Front Line of Literacy
by Lori L. Sikorski
Many years ago, while sitting in my first grade classroom, I read three words that changed my life. Run, Spot, run! They were followed by tales of Dick and Jane and Life In a Big Town. As my vocabulary grew, my love of reading did, too. I remember driving past billboards and shouting out the words to my parents. I felt as if I alone had unlocked the key to a wonderful secret. I knew it was a secret that would take me places.
I read anything and everything I could get my hands on. The summer bookmobile would sit on my street for an hour every Thursday afternoon while I browsed and flipped through pages. An elderly neighbor would do the same, and we both would sigh together at the awe of reading.
No matter what age you are, I bet you can still remember the first time you put words together and read your first sentence.
I have had the wonderful fortune of reliving this memory through my children over the last few years.
My eldest began reading in first grade. She came home with her reader, Little Duck Dance, and sat on the couch, moving her lips with a whisper of each word. When she had this down, she read the story aloud to her father and me. She had found her key .
This summer, at age 12, Hollie joined the summer reading program at the local library. She knocked out over 60 books, including the Nancy Drew mysteries and a couple in the Dear American series. This was her year to read my old tattered Lois Linsky favorite, Strawberry Girl.
My son, Joey, now nine, also learned to read quite well, only he began in kindergarten. The day before school ended that year, he read to me out of the book his teacher had made for her class. His face was priceless. His teacher told me it was mostly from memory, but I knew when he began to read the Wheaties box, that he, too, had found his key.
Emily, our youngest, is only six. She started second grade this year. Not to be outdone by her big sister, she read just shy of 60 books for the reading program this summer. Mostly books with lots of chapters.
None of our children made friends with Dick, Jane or Spot for that matter. They all went through different reading programs in their Calvert County schools. This year two new reading programs will be introduced in Calvert County. K-2 will enjoy a program called Open Court 2000, which helps younger children learn by going from sounds to sight, not sight to sound as many past programs have done. Grades 3-5 will join a program called Invitations to Literacy 1999, which combines reading and writing to build comprehension.
In the middle school, both teachers and parents have been so eager to expand reading options that we've formed a committee to develop lists of novels that we'd like to see our children read and hope they'll enjoy. There is even talk of introducing Literature Circles into the curriculum.
What an exciting time it is to learn to read! New Bay Times feels this excitement, too. We will be covering the front lines of literacy every few weeks. We'll track the process of this new reading program, along with reading programs in Anne Arundel and surrounding counties. We'll look at things parents, grandparents, family members and mentors can donate to our children today to help them love literature. We'll also touch upon the classics and hope that you will write and share your favorite stories and authors.
Read along with us.

The picture on the left is me with my 3 Chef Instructors, Moore, Kim & Larsen. The right is a picture of the proof of my achievement........
It has been a life-long dream of mine to go to Pastry School. As a child, I always wondered how they did that, or how did they get that cake to hold fillings without it collapsing, or how did they get the filling in a doughnut or cake. These have been in my mind & I got more & more curious as the years went by. Around the age of 9 I used to help my Mum to get all the ingredients to bake cakes, biscuits, as we called it & watched her intently & tried to learn from her. Then when I turned 11 or 12, & waited until we got a table-top oven, I started baking biscuits, as this was easier than cakes. Then I was appointed as the official Baker of the family..... especially during Christmas.
When I got married & had a child, I made & decorated my very first Birthday Cake. I taught myself all that I could from Wilton Year Books & American magazines, that I bought from saving my pocket money.
On Nov 4th, 2010 some of my ESC friends attended my long awaited graduation from Le Cordon Bleu as a Certified Pastry Chef, having achieved the highest honours & the title "Chef". Photos of the event.
What an awesome experience to go through at my age.... I felt that I had achieved what I had been dreaming of, nearly all my adult life, which is a long, long time. Thank you Jesus for helping me through this.
Now my passion is to teach others what I know from my God given talent & have learnt from all the awesome sugar artists, from the awesome Instructors of Le Cordon Bleu & to share all the knowledge I have acquired over the years. Check out the pictures
So please feel free to contact me for your classes. I will schedule the classes to suit your needs.....

Mariposa Dairy Selects Cream of the Crop Flooring Brand for Expansion Project
Sep 24 2015
- Mariposa is one of nine agri-food businesses in the Ontario region.
- Flowcrete Americas worked with applicator, Abate & Associates Inc.
- A combination of Flowfast Quartz and Flowfast Flakes were chosen.
- MMA flooring is best know for it's fast cure properties.
- Flowcrete Americas has announced a dairy campaign to educate farmers.
Flowcrete Americas has been involved in a project designed to boost growth plans for award-winning Ontario cheese-maker, Mariposa Dairy, with a new 40,000 sq ft processing facility located on St Georges Street, Lindsay.
The new processing facility, built and project managed by the Tri-Mach Group, features new state of the art equipment designed to accommodate rising packaging volumes, expansion into overseas markets and find efficiencies through reduced water use as well as to meet Europe's strict quality control standards for its burgeoning export market.
The move, which was in part supported by funding from the Federal Economic Development Agency, comes at a time of significant growth and success for the dairy brand.
In 2014 Mariposa Dairy processed eight million liters of goat's milk whereas just two years previously this figure was 4.5 million liters - making a new site a must-have to keep up with the growing demand from supermarkets and stockists of the company's popular artisanal goats and sheep cheeses.
On top of this, Mariposa have recently picked up gold awards at the 2015 International Cheese Awards held in Nantwich, UK for its Lindsay Bandaged Goat Cheddar (Best Canadian Cheese) and Tania (Best Canadian Sheep Cheese). The company also took home honors for its artisanal lines at the 2015 American Cheese Society Competition held in Rhode Island.
Flowcrete Americas, in conjunction with local flooring applicator partner, Abate & Associates Inc., was delighted to provide over 8,000 sq ft of MMA flooring materials designed for installation in the new plant.
MMA flooring is best know for it's fast cure properties, meaning that large expanses of concrete can be coated and returned to service under a quick turnaround, allowing follow-on trades almost immediate access to the site and ensuring any downtime or halt to production for end user brands is kept to a minimum.
A combination of Flowcrete Americas' Flowfast Quartz and Flowfast Flakes were chosen by Mariposa Dairy owners Bruce and Sharon Vandenberg on account of the material's ability to marry durability, speed and aesthetics while at the same time upholding food safety and hygiene standards.
Flowfast Flakes is a decorative MMA floor system – installed at 120 mils – in which coloured floor flakes are broadcast on top of an MMA slurry and sealed to provide an attractive, smooth matt floor finish that delivers excellent wear, stain and UV resistance.
Flowfast Quartz – installed at 160 mils – is a more robust system, containing robust colored quartz beads in order to offer enhanced durability, strength and traction underfoot.
Both systems are ideal for use in food and beverage processing environments looking to minimize downtime – including renovation or shutdown scenarios. Both systems deliver a seamless, joint-free finish that is easy to sanitize, meeting operational needs for a clean, safe and sanitary environment.
The Lindsay-based cheese maker is one of just nine agri-food businesses in the Eastern Ontario region to receive funding to support innovative food projects that increase demand and sales of Ontario food, stimulate new investment and strengthen Ontario's agri-food sector.
The project comes at a time when Flowcrete Americas has announced a dairy campaign designed to educate dairy farmers and dairy processing brands on the benefits of seamless, hard-surface resinous flooring systems over traditional tile and brick finishes.
This includes the company's range of HACCP International certified cementitious urethane flooring systems, which have been certified as food-safe for use in wet or dry areas of food and beverage plants operating a Food Safety Program based on HACCP principles.

We're passionate about helping businesses get better at customer service
Over the last fifteen years, we've seen the concept of customer service shift from tired departments who deal with complaints into passionate and motivated teams who help their customers become more successful. But the software they use hasn't kept up. Instead, it's holding them back. We're here to help these amazing teams become the best they can be.
At Kayako, we don't just build software. We're building a business that helps. Everything we do has the single goal of empowering businesses with the software and education they need to get better at customer service.

We're cooking up a unique culture
Too many companies use the word "culture" without any substance behind it. But at Kayako, culture is more than just a word on a website.
Our culture is defined by the values we hold ourselves to. They describe what we do, how we work, and what we aspire to.
It's hardly been a year so far, but working at Kayako is the best thing that's happened to me. The opportunities available are great, and the level of emotional support is amazing. It feels like a big family, working on something exciting. We laugh, we learn, and we grow from our experiences together.
Joining the team at Kayako has been one of the most rewarding professional moves of my life. It's incredibly motivating to work for a company that has cultivated such an open and collaborative work culture. You couldn't ask for a more talented - or agreeable - group of people to work alongside.
Kayako is the place to learn and grow - and Kayakers ensure that we challenge ourselves to do just that. Autonomy, ownership, and the mindset to focus, simplify, and solve complex real world problems reflects in everything we do.
It really says something about an organization when you look forward to weekdays. I've taken on risks and challenges, set things on fire (by accident!), and extinguished said fires. I have become a better engineer here, and I've had fun while doing it too!
Working at Kayako is like embarking on a journey of constant learning. I'm thankful to work with amazing colleagues, use top notch tools to build a great product. There are endless opportunities to grow and develop as we overcome new challenges.
Kayako has an awesome fun and slightly weird culture, Everyone is happy, result-orientated, and deeply cares about the work they do. There's a constant flow of innovation and ideas, and it's a great place to learn and grow together.

For Teachers and Administrators
Education for Sustainability is an opportunity to promote informed and involved citizenship, creative problem solving, cooperative action and HOPE.
No state curriculum mandates that you introduce your students to sustainability yet (unless you work in Vermont). But there is a moral mandate: if we are to have a sustainable future, our students must be educated for it. They must learn to pursue environmental stewardship, economic security and social equity as complementary goals.
The challenge for educators is how to engage students and train them in this new way of thinking when we may not yet be comfortable with it ourselves, while at the same time meeting all of our existing curriculum mandates.
Supporting You in Bringing Sustainability Education to the Classroom
Teachers are the foundation for our work. They are on the "front lines" of Sustainability Education and CELF prepares them for it. We work with the premier curriculum developers, content experts, teacher colleges and classroom teachers to create our professional development programs. We provide consulting services for schools and school districts, training for teachers and administrators and authentic learning opportunities for students.
School leadership for sustainability is essential and administrators play a key role. School leaders recognize that they need a system-wide commitment and a system-wide plan if they are to change the way students view the world and its resources. CELF is committed to supporting schools in their efforts to understand and adopt sustainability as one of their educational goals.
We show administrators and teachers how to enhance existing curricula through the integration of sustainability concepts. We help top performing schools as well as those facing achievement and budgetary challenges ensure that every student has the opportunity to graduate equipped to participate in the creation of real solutions to real problems.

"All education is environmental education. By what is included or excluded we teach students that they are part of or apart from the natural world. To teach economics, for example, without reference to the laws of thermodynamics or those of ecology is to teach a fundamentally important ecological lesson: that physics and ecology have nothing to do with the economy. That just happens to be dead wrong. The same is true throughout all of the curriculum."
David Orr's What is Education for?
"I am still reeling from the success of the day and excited about next steps... I knew you were an impressive organization - but frankly this was far more than I expected. Your knowledge, professionalism, collaboration with staff, warmth, knowledge of students and instructional strategies - and much more - combined to make for a powerful experience. I know how much work had to go on behind the scenes to prepare the day's activities. Thank you for such a thoughtful and thorough presentation."
Gail Boyle Principal, Chatsworth Elementary School Mamaroneck, NY (School Eco-Footprint Program Participant)
"Getting kids motivated about the environment ripples far beyond them. It means they will discuss it with their friends, and also with their parents. That's how you get real and sustainable change, when you have children teaching adults."
Andrew Spano Former Westchester County Executive (at CELF Students for a Sustainable Future EXPO'08)

The moment I spotted the limited edition Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipstick in 116 Mighty, I thought thats a bit bright but from the moment I swatched it, I knew that I had to have it.
You might remember this lipstick from my How To Look Luxe blog post and I can safely say that I'm still absolutely loving it.
In the bullet, 116 Mighty looks as though its going to be a very intense, highly pigmented, bright shade of pink, almost a little bit like Play-Doh but when you swatch it or apply it to the lips, it is actually a really sheer wash of beautiful pink colour.
I should have known this, in theory, given that the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks are their sheer, hydrating formula (see my review of the shade Boy in this post) but Mighty just looked so full on in the bullet that it deceived me!
This lipstick formula is highly moisturising and literally glides on during application, without tugging the lips. It is very lightweight and leaves this incredible water like shine on the lips that isn't sticky or tacky. It feels almost like a balm.
The formula is definitely buildable and while you're not going to get an opaque bright pink look with this lipstick, you can build it up from a very faint, glossy wash of colour up to a more pigmented, glossy pink lip look.
|Chanel Mighty applied lightly
|Chanel Mighty applied heavily
I have been looking for a shade like this for so long and have never been able to find it so to come across it on a whim while purchasing the Chanel Nail Polish Remover was a very happy surprise!
It has definitely become my go-to lipstick this spring for minimal makeup days where I just want to look pretty and not overly done but it also looks great with a smoky eye at night as well if I'm just wanting a light wash of colour on my lips.
The great thing about this lipstick is that it wears off really evenly. It doesn't bleed, go patchy or leave a ring of colour around my lips, reminiscent of a clown. It has a long lasting, hydrating and moisturising effect on my lips and it hangs around for a good couple of hours before I even need to think about reapplying.
The Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipstick in Mighty is a limited edition shade for spring/summer 2016 so if you want it then you're going to have to be quick as the limited edition shades have a tendency to sell out FAST.
I've had a look around online and I've found some in stock here on House of Fraser and John Lewis.

Ronald Fraser Golden
Crimes: Animal Abuse, Cruelty
Ronald Fraser Golden, 48, of 106 Bullington Road, Athens, Alabama, is in deep doo-doo. He has been charged with 22 counts of 1st-degree cruelty to cats. He has yet to go to trial but he's been confessing and admitting a whole lot to authorities.
The police investigation into Ronald Fraser Golden's anti-kitty activities began on September 24, 2013. Athens police received a tip about dead (yes, dead) kittens found in and around Bullington Road. They also received a tip that the kitty killer was Ronald Fraser Golden.
Following up on these tips, Athens police officers Lt. Chris Slaton and Sgt. Johnny Campbell interviewed Ronald Fraser Golden on September 30, 2013. The asshole actually admitted to buying little kittens off Craigslist just so he could kill them.
Ronald Fraser Golden explained to the officers that he was "angry at the world" and since July 2013 he has been acquiring kittens to kill.
Lt. Chris Slaton and Sgt. Johnny Campbell got Ronald Fraser Golden's permission to search his property. They found 5 kitty carcasses in the bushes at the back of his yard.
The officers also found 2 dogs and 2 kittens alive on his property. Apparently the dogs were not in danger — I guess Ronald Fraser Golden only hates cats.
In talking with the kitty killer, Lt. Chris Slaton and Sgt. Johnny Campbell learned that Ronald Fraser Golden had what he called a "cat room". This was where the poor, wee beasties met their horrific and torturous deaths.
In the "cat room" the officers found blood spattered on the walls and on the floor.
Ronald Fraser Golden had admitted to the officers that sometimes he threw kittens against the floor to break their necks, sometimes he stomped them to death, and sometimes he wrung their necks.
Twenty-two kittens in total were tortured and killed.
Ronald Fraser Golden was taken into custody for evaluation by a state mental health officer. He was released on October 10, 2013. On that very day police charged the vicious, vile animal killer with 22 counts of animal cruelty. Those are Class C felonies, and each is punishable by a year and a day to 10 years in prison.
Ronald Fraser Golden is currently sitting in the Limestone County Jail. His bond is $22,000.
The people who sold some of their kittens to Ronald Fraser Golden were shocked by the revelations. They'd thought he was such a quiet, nice man.
Evil comes in many guises.
The rescued kitties, Melvin and Mia, have since been put up for adoption. I hope they find good homes. I haven't found anything about the 2 dogs.
I shall keep readers posted (reminders are always welcome). You all should know I am hoping he is found guilty and gets the max on each count, to be served consecutively.
A man who is so "angry at the world" may not stop at torturing and killing cats. If he isn't stopped or treated he just might graduate to committing even worse crimes. Ronald Fraser Golden has been on a very scary trajectory. I truly hope that the Alabama courts will succeed in stopping him from hurting, torturing and killing ever again.

Hate him. I truly hate him. Bengalpuss is gonna explode when she reads this. There should be a special punishment reserved for animal killers like this sadistic asshole. Maybe involving rusty implements or acid or farm machinery. I don't care if he's mentally ill, he has to be stopped.
i think these type of people need to be put in prison for life because animals are one of the most easiest targets from all. they cant defend themselves because they cant speak and say this bitch over here was tutoring me. we live in such horrible world. the man needs to be stop. he was targeting kittens that have done no wrong to him once so ever, how about he starts tagerting babies next time. fucker hope he dies.
I hope that he get the max sentence for each kitty he killed! He is evil to the core. I hope he gets abused in prison!!!
You're angry at the world and this is how you react taking it out on poor defenceless kitties. Make me sick. I hope he gets the max sentence.
Cat killers are the scummiest scum. I hope he is locked up forever.
Serial killers probably start like this. He is dangerous.
Hats off to the tipster for turning in his wrinkly old ass.
The Fucking bastard, he is sooo lucky his arse is sat in jail, the evil bastard. Sick cunt deserves to be throttled, strung up by his bollocks and stamped on. Angry at the world, so he gets innocent kittys and tortures them, what did those little balls of furr do to him? Piece of shit he is. Well done to the person who informed the law on this turd. I've had to cover tyke's hearing so he can't he me ranting away about this lowlife cunt, hope he dies a horrible death, i really do.
Oh bengalpussy I knew you would be horribly upset by this story. He had a cat room, you could have a cat killer room for bastards like him including him.
Can never understand why cunts like this just torture poor animals? Probably because he ain't Fucking man enough to front another bloke, probably shit himself, the lowlife Fucking worthless piece of shit. We all know that this kitty killing cock sucker is gonna move onto killing a woman. Hes probably angry that no woman will date his fugly arse, so he takes it out on innocent animals, but he'll move onto women, we'll be reading about this cunt in the future, mark my words. Geoff Dahmer started on animals, as did arthur shawcross, look what they went on to become. Angry at the world, i hope someone gets angry with this cunts skull.
He lives across from a school. So all those beaten and crushed cat carcasses he left in the area could have been found by school kids. Evil old fucker.
Are there any ways to contribute to the prosecution in this case? So they can hire the best attorney to lock him up for life?
I am Sickened by the Cruelty Involved in the Sadistic Murder of
Do Gooders may go on about " Human Rights " but the Sickening
Depravity Warrants Capital Punishment
That Stops Sickos Maiming and Murdering Kittens
I know this is an old story, but found out that his trial is not til Dec. 1, 2014. Being an Alabamian I can tell you he won't see a day in prison, unfortunately. Probably a small fine and probation. No restrictions on contact with animals. Our animal cruelty laws – if you want to call them that – SUCK.
He sucks. Asshole.he should rot in a rat infested prison. Slime and scum
He is a scumbag. Let's
Give lethal injection. He is slime and scum.
I Feel Sad for the Plight of the Kittens Murdered
Decentpeopleonly, don't start me off with kitty killing cunts, they do not get punished enough, they should be locked away in a bag thats filled with cats, and then they should be locked in a room with the cats owners that they've killed. Horrible cunts they are, proper cowards in my view, it really winds me up reading about it.
This kitten killing cunt was at trial on sept 14th but i can't find a result, can anybody find out if this bastard has been sent to jail for me because i'm limited on finding that info on my phone so would appreciate if someone can find out for me please. This cunt should get the max sentence, but we all know judges don't tend to punish ppl that are cruel and evil to animals, lets hope that that trend can stop and this fucker pay for the evil he did.
I'm wondering whatever became of this monster. How can we find out?? I hate this man.
me too meg, this pig is probably killing more kittens as we speak. How can somebody inflict the pain and suffering that these poor kittys are being subjected to? may he rot in hell, you kitty killing cunt.
He is playing the system.
Be patient, his time to pay will come.
Willyb, any news on the kitty killing cunt? I get riled up every time I read this article.
Hi there, I read through a few of your articles here.
I did have a question though that I hope you could answer.
I was wondering, Can off-duty police officers have the same
authority as on-duty officers? I'm about to get hired as an officer so It's
something I'd like to know. I would really appreciate any help you could
give me!

I just saw that you published the brand new Programmer's Guide for the "PS 2000 A API":
It says that streaming mode now allows up to 30 MS/s. Great ! Is this also possible with the Linux driver ? If so, this would be a strong argument to replace my old PS2205 with a new device that supports the "A API". The only remaining subtlety would be that the Linux driver for the "A API" supports only 32 bit Linux, while I have a 64 bit Linux. This problem could be solved with a Virtual Machine, but it would be more convenient to have 64 bit support in the Linux driver.

Trucking company Schneider National has unveiled a new interchange offering for moving freight across the U.S.-Mexico border that it says is a faster, more efficient option for shippers.
Last month it began servicing Mexico cross-border intermodal loads through a steel-wheel interchange in Jackson, Miss. Schneider Intermodal's Mexico Direct loads now travel between Chicago and Jackson on the Canadian National Railway and between Jackson and Mexico on the Kansas City Southern Railway.
"Until recently, a Mexico Direct shipment interchanged in Houston," said Jim Filter, senior vice president, Intermodal Commercial Management, Schneider National. "There, it traveled 55 miles by truck, through a congested area, to get to the ramp that brought it to the next leg of the journey. The new interchange in Jackson eliminates all that. The load stays on the train and keeps moving, which saves customers at least one full day of transit time."
Filter adds that Schneider is especially versed at simplifying International Commercial Terms (Incoterms), which often add complexity for cross-border shippers.
"CN believes its close collaboration with Schneider and KCS will make the complex border-crossing process a smooth and seamless one, improving supply chain efficiencies, lowering transit times and making our mutual customers more competitive in their markets," said J. J. Ruest, CN executive vice-president and chief marketing officer.
In addition to its Mexico City–based operations, Schneider operates at four ramps in Laredo, Monterrey, San Luis Potosi and Toluca to service shippers' freight needs.
Schneider has been operating its nonstop, borderless intermodal service since 2006,

So ah, I'm kinda new to this whole 'inter-web community' biznich, and 'blog', so I'm just doin this so that vox will get off my case.
What the hell does 'blog' even mean?
Who thought of a name as ridiculous as blog?
And what the hell are you meant to write in these things?
Most people write public information... Hello people. It's public information. If i wanted to kno it, google will answer.
And as for your personal lives, what happened to a good old conversation? Ok, admittedly, some of us aren't the best listeners, me included, but doesn't that show that it's not that important anyway? Why not find someone who is vaguely interested, and tell it to them. But no. Instead, I get an email every week telling me that you've updated your page with some useless and/or meaningless information about current events or your life, both equally useless and/or meaningless.
Some people update their's every few hours. Crazy much? Oh hell yes. If I really wanted to know what you had for lunch, I would ask you "what did you have for lunch?". And even if I went to that extent of social interaction, I do not want to know how many calories it had. Just say what the item(s) of food was/were, and if it fulfilled you need for a tasty morsel. No more information is required, unless asked for. Example, "I had cornflakes. They were good." Thank you.
Well, now that I've written a good long 'blog' on my useless and meaningful opinion, I'll leave you to think over if you really want me in your 'inter-web community'... or if I really care.
BTW: Don't take offence to this, this is merely a rant about nothing. So go on with your meaningless lives, and pay no attention to this 'blog'. :)

Market share is one of the primary indicators companies use to measure how well they are doing versus competitors. Market share is the percentage of business or sales a company wields out of total business or sales by all competitors combined in any given market. The total available business is called market potential. There are two basic ways of stating market share figures, though actual calculations may be difficult to derive. There are both advantages and disadvantages to having a large market share relative to competitors'.
Percent of Sales
Percent of sales is one measure of market share. For example, if a small electronics firm sells $2 million in a market with a total of $100 million in sales, its market share is 2 percent. That is just one market, however. Imagine that the small electronics firm sells products in 10 markets -- with market share figures varying between 1 percent and 4 percent in each market. The firm's total market share for all 10 markets might be 2.5 percent. Market share can be difficult to calculate for those that don't know their competitors' sales figures, and that's where private market research firms such as Nielsen and The NPD Group come in. They keep track of market share figures for various industries. These companies usually monitor market shares on an annual basis.
Percent of Units
Companies can calculate market share using sales units. For example, a small bottled-water distributor may sell 10,000 units per year out of the 100,000 sold in a local market area by all competitors combined. Therefore, its market share is 10 percent for that market. Unit market share may be more useful in some cases, as companies can better derive average product prices of competitors. They can use this information to better price their own products. Nevertheless, it is best to have access to both sales and unit market share figures.
Advantages and Disadvantages
There are several key advantages to building market share. One advantage is increased bargaining power, according to Quick MBA, an online reference site. Top companies with the largest market shares may get special deals on products, as their buying power is likely greater than smaller companies'. The bigger company sell more products, which leads to bigger orders from their suppliers. Retailers, wholesalers and showroom outlets may be willing to allocate more space to companies that have more clout. Conversely, a smaller company may lose its higher profit margins by increasing market share too drastically. For example, it may need to offer too many special deals to achieve greater sales volumes. Smaller firms may prefer to keep their market shares relatively low to avoid disruptions in the marketplace.
Building Strategies
There are four key ways for smaller companies to build market share. One way is increasing the number of products offered including such means as introducing different sizes, features and styles, for example. This may help attract additional customers. Another option is pricing products significantly lower to add more customers, sacrificing profits short-term. Small companies may also increase the number of markets in which they sell, or focus more efforts on certain distribution channels. Another option is increasing advertising expenditures in one or more markets, especially those with more growth potential.

Bronchitis is a condition in which the bronchial tubes are inflamed. These tubes carry air to the lungs. When the tubes become inflamed or infected, they produce a lot of mucus, which is a slimy substance made by the bronchial tubes. The main symptom of bronchitis is persistent coughing – the body's attempt to get rid of excess mucus. Forceful coughing can be painful, and excess mucus can make it difficult to breathe. Other bronchitis symptoms include a low-grade fever, shortness of breath and wheezing.
There are two types of bronchitis: acute (short term) and chronic (long term). In both types, irritated membranes swell and grow thicker. This swelling shuts off the tiny airways in the lungs. Acute bronchitis is often the result of infections or exposure to irritants. Cigarette smoking is the main cause of chronic bronchitis, which is sometimes called a "smoker's cough."
A single acute episode is not a cause for concern. However, repeated episodes may lead to chronic bronchitis. A person with chronic bronchitis has scarred lungs, and this scarring cannot be reversed. Lung damage makes it difficult to breath and increases the risk for infections. Elderly and those with weakened immune systems have the greatest risk for developing bronchitis.
Signs and Symptoms of Acute Bronchitis
• Approximately 90 percent of cases are caused by the same viruses that cause the common cold and the flu. The main symptom is a persistent cough, which often makes it difficult to sleep.
• Lung irritants can also cause acute bronchitis. Common lung irritants include tobacco smoke, air pollution, dust and fumes.
• Most cases improve within 10 days, but coughing may linger for several weeks.
• Acute bronchitis is contagious.
Signs and Symptoms of Chronic Bronchitis
• Chronic bronchitis doesn't appear suddenly. It usually begins with a simple cough. Over time, symptoms worsen until the person has difficulty breathing.
• Airways are constantly inflamed and irritated.
• Excess mucus is produced constantly. A person may cough up more than an ounce of mucus each day.
• The cough is often worse in the morning and in damp, cold weather. Persistent coughing makes it difficult to sleep.
• Left untreated, chronic bronchitis can be life-threatening.
• Chronic bronchitis is not contagious.
How Is bronchitis treated?
The main treatment goal is to relieve symptoms. Along with standard treatment, some patients use natural and home remedies. Certain foods seem to reduce symptoms. These include honey, lemon, ginger, bay leaf and almonds. Patients should discuss natural remedies with their doctor before using them.
Treatment for acute bronchitis includes rest and fluids. Aspirin or a similar agent is used to treat fever. A humidifier or steam can also help. Your doctor may prescribe medications to open your airways and reduce wheezing and inflammation. A cough syrup may also be prescribed. Antibiotics are not used to treat acute bronchitis, since they don't work against viruses. If your doctor thinks you have a bacterial infection, he or she may order an X-ray and other tests. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections.
Treatment for chronic bronchitis is to eliminate sources of irritation. Because the lungs have been damaged, chronic bronchitis never completely goes away, and flare-ups may occur. Medications are generally needed. These include inhaled agents that open your airways. Steroids are used to reduce inflammation, and in severe cases, oxygen therapy may be needed. Oxygen is supplied in a metal cylinder and flows through a tube and into the nose. Pulmonary rehabilitation may also be prescribed. Rehabilitation teaches patients to breathe more easily.
Can I do anything to lessen my symptoms?
Chronic bronchitis can be prevented by not smoking. Patients should avoid secondhand smoke and other lung irritants. People with shortness of breath should breathe using the technique of pursed-lip breathing. Pursed-lip breathing helps reduce shortness of breath.

Life's epiphanies often rely on serendipity. So it was for Dr. Sue J. Goldie. While at a Faculty Development Program in 1995, she was required to learn and then teach a course. The only available section was in "Decision Science," an area of study which utilizes methods of evidence synthesis and mathematical models to analyze the consequences—benefits, risks, harms, costs—of different approaches to tackle complex problems. She found herself passionately drawn to this scientific discipline she had never encountered in college or medical school. Now well known for bringing together a wide variety of disciplinary approaches to critical global health challenges, her application of Decision Science methods to public health resulted in her being named a MacArthur Fellow in 2005.
After graduating from Union College in 1984, Goldie earned her MD from Albany Medical College ('88) and completed her residency in internal medicine at Yale ('88-91). She spent several years teaching medical residents and caring for patients whose health problems were born largely out of poverty and limited access to care. It was the realization that public health approaches could have greater impact on the health of the poor, and the unexpected introduction to the field of Decision Science, that conspired to shift her career direction. She received her master's degree in Decision Science and Health Policy from the Harvard School of Public Health in 1997 and joined the faculty the following year. She now directs the Program in Health Decision Science as the Roger Lee Irving Professor of Public Health.
Goldie develops and validates computer-based models linking the basic biology of a disease and its epidemiology to outcomes in large populations. She uses these models to synthesize data, identify key knowledge gaps, and evaluate the public health impact and cost-effectiveness of alternative preventive and treatment interventions. Much of her energy has been spent on three viruses of major public health importance: HIV, hepatitis, and human papilloma virus (HPV). Collectively, these three viruses—together with the conditions they lead to (AIDS, liver disease, and cervical cancer, respectively)—are responsible for tremendous morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Two recent papers highlight how she applies model-based tools to questions in different parts of the world. She recently conducted an analysis that quantified the expected public health benefits of HPV vaccination in the 72 poorest countries, showing that nearly ~10 million lives would be saved by vaccinating young adolescents in the next two decades. Simultaneously, she published a policy analysis of the HPV vaccine in the U.S., identifying the optimal target age for vaccination, assessing the impact of scientific uncertainties, and delineating modifications needed for cervical cancer screening to ensure an efficient, safe, and cost effective prevention program.
Her passion for teaching has remained a constant. With several mentorship awards from Yale and Harvard, her Decision Science class has grown to over 150 students. While identifying herself as both a physician who is passionate about individuals, and a public health scientist who is deeply committed to the health of populations, she emphasizes to her students what is different about a Decision Scientist: "like others, we use the best available scientific evidence, and like others we acknowledge and characterize the impact of uncertainty; but we are driven fundamentally by the question 'what can we do right now?'"
Along with the demands of her teaching, research, and policy work, she finds time to continue her practice of Tae Kwon Do, the Korean martial art. She has earned three black belts, was nationally ranked, and at one point had to decide whether to try out for the Olympics or go to medical school. Goldie has joked that her proficiency with Tae Kwon Do has helped her immensely in raising her two teenage sons.

Concept/art direction/execution
Brief: create a motion graphics piece that conveys the meaning and feel of a piece of audio, using primarily type.
Concept: I chose to do a kinetic typography project which aims to capture the energy and vibrancy of the song 'Stay', by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs.
The song has really bold vocals and great sense of rhythm, so I timed the typography with the lyrics to create a sharp, fast-paced motion graphics piece.
I used Neutra for the font, since it is 1950s inspired (the era of the song), and conveys a boldness and simplicity that complements the music. It also has a little quirkiness to it which I thought was appropriate.
In keeping the colour palette simple and stark, I wanted to communicate the vibrancy of the 1950s as well as a little drama, with a few surprising elements in the juxtaposition of black, orange and blue.
Brief: create a sequence for the opening or closing credits of a movie or TV show.
I chose Ingmar Bergman's "Persona", a film about the relationship between two women whose personalities begin to merge.
Concept: I wanted to convey the concept of the movie as well as a visual representation of the music, so I used a combination of shape layers that describe the music as well as illustrate part of the story.
I constrained the colour palette to black, white and red to create a tense, sinister feel within the piece. I also used symbols with a flickering, strobing effect that would relate the idea of merging personalities and the disturbing results.
I wanted to visualise the two female characters in the film, so created a 'draw on' effect that outlined two female profiles, facing one another. I also used the metaphor of two circles, interlinked, that flickered and spun, before finally overwhelming the viewer.

I have read your responses to the following
questions 2537 and 4362 concerning a wife retaining her father's name upon marriage. The
Ayaat mentioned from Surah Al-Ahzaab states that adopted sons (and hence daughters?)
should not be called as sons of the step-fathers. However, how exactly does this apply to
a wife simply changing her name for marriage; as she is not actually claiming to belong to
her husband, but just taking his name. If it is a question of lineage, I would appreciate
specific references from the Qur'an and hadith.
Thank you for your help and clarification.
Jazak'Allah Khayr.
Praise be to Allaah.
The effects of imitating the west in naming ourselves are many. One of them is the way in which people have got used to omitting the word ibn (son of) or ibnatu (daughter of) between their own names and the name of their fathers. The reason for this is, firstly, because some families have adopted children and given them their surname, so that the adopted child is called Foolaan Foolan [where Foolaan (=So and so) stands for a name] and their real children are called Foolaan ibn Foolaan (So and so the son of So and so). Now in the fourteenth century AH, people have dropped the word ibn or ibnatu which is unacceptable according to linguistics, custom and shareeah. May Allaah help us.
Another effect is the habit of women taking their husbands surnames.
Originally, the woman is So and so the Daughter of So and so, not So and so the wife of So and so! Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
Call them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allaah [al-Ahzaab 33:5].
As it is in this world, so it will also be in the Hereafter, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
On the Day of Resurrection, each betrayer will have a banner raised beside him, and it will be said, this is the betrayer of So and so the son of So and so. (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5709, and Muslim, 3265).
Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd (may Allaah preserve him) said: This is one of the beauties of shareeah, because calling a person by his fathers name is more appropriate for knowing who is who and telling people apart. The father is the protector and maintainer of the child and his mother both inside and outside the home. This is why the father mixes with people in the marketplaces and takes risks by travelling to earn a halaal living and strive for their sakes. So the child is given the name of the father, not of the mother who is hidden away and who is one of those whom Allaah commanded (interpretation of the meaning):
And stay in your houses [al-Ahzaab 33:33]
(Tasmiyat al-Mawlood, 30, 31).
On the basis of the above, there is no blood tie between the husband and wife, so how can she take his surname as if she is part of the same lineage? Moreover, she may get divorced, or her husband may die, and she may marry another man. Will she keep changing her surname every time she marries another man? Furthermore, there are rulings attached to her being named after her father, which have to do with inheritance, spending and who is a mahram, etc. Taking her husbands surname overlooks all that. The husband is named after his own father, and what does she have to do with the lineage of her husbands father? This goes against common sense and true facts. The husband has nothing that makes him better than his wife so that she should take his surname, whilst he takes his fathers name.
Hence everyone who has gone against this and taken her husbands name should put matters right. We ask Allaah to put all the affairs of the Muslims right.

The Guardian has an interesting graphic showing the duration and reading level of every SOTU since the nation's founding. I can't paste it here because it's interactive so you'll have to click over and take a look.
It seems that the reading level of the SOTU has been on a long steady decline with more recent Presidents at the bottom of the pack. President Obama's SOTUs are at a 9th grade reading level on average, though it turns out 2009 was an outlier. His three other SOTUs (the current one hasn't been rated yet) have been at an 8th grade level.
President George W. Bush, routinely mocked by the left for his verbal gaffes, gave SOTUs at a 10th grade reading level.
