Cantonese Naamvarn (narrative songs)
Brief Introduction to Naantyani - sad and touching song
"Naamyam", "Wooden Fish", "Dragon Boat" and "Cantonese Folk Songs" are all Cantonese dialect folk songs formed by narrative singing. The linguistic characters of Cantonese dialect originated from the central plains of China (especially the Henan Province, which is traditionally considered as the cradle of Chinese civilization), and has retained the original nine tones and was registered in ancient poetry and books. The structure of "Naamyain" strictly follows the seven syllable and rhyme requirements of ancient Chinese poetry. Classic pieces include Ye Tingrui's "Wayfarer's Autumn Lainent" from the Qianlong period: l-le Weiqun's "Nocturnal Lament":
Zhao Ziyong's "Diao Qiu Xi" and "Quit Your Soul's Sorrow", as well as 'Nan Shao Yi", "JI Xiao Xiang", and "The Magic Jade Fan", written by unknown authors (luring the Jiaqing period. All of the authors were accomplished scholars who had taken the imperial examinations. Although most Naaniyam songs were composed in brothels or night clubs, they still convey a sense of loss, melancholy and gut-wrenching emotion. The songs also have patriotic undertones, with performers singing it quietly in a romantic style. On the other hand, Dingban (a method to indicate rhythm in Naamyam) requires precision, but allows for more freedom in singing articulation.
Naamyam is influenced by Tang poems, but different from the "Long-Short Sentence" style of the Song Dynasty, integrated in the singing techniques of Kunqu Opera and Beijing Opera.
Naamyam is influenced by Tang poems, but different from the "Long-Short Sentence" style of the Song Dynasty, integrated in the singing techniques of Kunqu Opera and Beijing Opera.
The "Wooden fish book" texts were printed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and have since evolved into different types of singing such as "dragon boat" "Naarnyam" and "Cantonese Folk Songs" during the Qing Dynasty, with hundreds of bookshops estimated to have published thousands of different printed texts. These printed texts would usually only have only recorded the lyrics, hut not the tune, although SOII1C also included the narrative singing scripts. Each textual unit in a Naamyam song is a quatrain, with each line containing seven syllables. The final syllable in the first and third line of each quatrain must end with an oblique tone, the second line (known as upper line) must end with an upper even tone and the fourth line (known as lower line) must end with a lower even tone. As repeating those rhythms were like the governing linguistic tones in the Tang Dynasty, famous Naaniyani accents, such as "Theng Xian", "Yi Fan", "Pao Zhou", "Li Hun" and "Liu Shui" could be perfectly presented, with "Pao Zhou", which has a bitter tune, sung from the throat, being the most touching one.
Naamyam styles can be divided into: Dai Sui Naamyam, Xi Neng Naamyain and hei Toi Naamyain, each with their own unique styles. It is also distinguished by the singer, the performance venues or audience and performances given by blind singers, actresses, during home celebrations, on the streets, in taverns and on song boats will all have unique features. Moreover, depending on the size of the group, the singing could be accompanied by the Yanqin (hammered dulcimer), the Yehu (coconut-shelled lute), the San-i-Isuan tïddle, the Xiao (vertical end-blown flute), the Pipa (seven-stringed Chinese lute), the Qinqin (three-stringed Chinese lute) or the Ban (wooden clapper percussion instrument). The instruments could be played by the singer, or by fellow musicians, not all of whom were blind. Young blind girls were trained by their masters to be musicians capable of both singing and playing instruments at the same lime. With the development of society and the economy, the ways of entertainment become varied. Away from brothels or night clubs, Naamyam singers would also be invited to perform in events such as weddings, celebrations or funerals. As Naaniyam singers were mostly blind, they could sing among women in rich families.
On the other hand, there was a big difference in the way the careers of the Naamyam blind musicians in Hong Kong, Macao and Mainland China developed. Singers from Mainland China would dedicate themselves to the pursuit of excellence in singing technique, opting to keep to strictly defined standards. In contrast, Hong Kong and Macao were capable of broadcasting long-tenu radio programs dedicated to Naanmyani songs. The popularity of blind musicians in Hong Kong and Macao was consequently widespread, with some artists even releasing records of their own.
Even though the boom period of Naamyam has long gone, several celebrities and communities have been working tirelessly to save the ancient tradition of Naamyam. With the assistance of Macao SAR, Naamyam was recently inscribed in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage list. "Naamyamn" has become a unique item in the culture of Macao.

Professional astrologers often have had the rare but perplexing experience of interpreting a chart only to discover confusing discrepancies between the chart and the actual personality or situation of the client they are consulting. Maybe you were at the receiving end of the consultation and felt equally baffled. Don't blame the astrologer or their interpretation of your chart. There may be more to your story than was first observed or observable using only traditional interpretation techniques. We may have the answer to such dilemmas.
Recently a growing number of astrologers have begun to apply the idea of karmic law to the interpretation of astrological charts. Some have gone further with their research and have developed techniques that allow them to glimpse past patterns and relate them to a persons current natal chart. By past patterns we are not referring to those developed earlier in life, but to patterns and tendencies from an earlier life or lives!
We each have lessons to learn. The traditional chart points to this as well. The past lives chart clarifies those lessons. It puts them up for a new examination, not to fear but to acknowledge and integrate into a resulting happier present.
For centuries astrology has used symbols to represent past lives and karma.
For some astrologers these are literal concepts and for others they are psychological, but for all they represent the experiences we inherit and the struggles we confront across the duration of many lives.

A federal judge in Florida ruled Monday that President Barack Obama's entire health care overhaul law is unconstitutional, placing even noncontroversial provisions under a cloud in a broad challenge that seems certain to be resolved only by the Supreme Court.
PENSACOLA — A federal judge in Florida ruled Monday that President Barack Obama's entire health care overhaul law is unconstitutional, placing even noncontroversial provisions under a cloud in a broad challenge that seems certain to be resolved only by the Supreme Court.
Faced with a major legal setback, the White House called the ruling by U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson — in a challenge to the law by 26 of the nation's 50 states — "a plain case of judicial overreaching." That echoed language the judge had used to describe the law as an example of Congress overstepping its authority.
The Florida judge's ruling produced an even split in federal court decisions so far on the health care law, mirroring enduring divisions among the public. Two judges had previously upheld the law, both Democratic appointees. A Republican appointee in Virginia had ruled against it.
The Justice Department quickly announced it would appeal, and administration officials declared that for now the federal government and the states would proceed without interruption to carry out the law. It seemed evident that only the U.S. Supreme Court could deliver a final verdict on Obama's historic expansion of health insurance coverage.
On Capitol Hill, Republican opponents of the law pledged to redouble pressure for a repeal vote in the Democratic-controlled Senate following House action last month. Nearly all of the states that brought suit in Vinson's court have GOP attorneys general or governors.
Vinson ruled against the overhaul on grounds that Congress exceeded its authority by requiring nearly all Americans to carry health insurance, an idea dating back to Republican proposals from the 1990s but now almost universally rejected by conservatives.
His ruling followed the same general reasoning as one last year from the federal judge in Virginia. But where the first judge's ruling would strike down the insurance requirement and leave the rest of the law in place, Vinson took it much farther, invalidating provisions that range from Medicare discounts for seniors with high prescription costs to a change that allows adult children up to age 26 to remain on their parents' coverage.
The central issue remains the constitutionality of the law's core requirement that Americans carry health insurance except in cases of financial hardship. Starting in 2014, those who cannot show they are covered by an employer, government program or their own policy will face fines.
Opponents say a federal requirement that individuals obtain a specific service — a costly one in the case of health insurance — is unprecedented and oversteps the authority the Constitution gives Congress to regulate interstate commerce.
Vinson agreed that lawmakers lack the power to penalize citizens for not doing something. He compared the provision to requiring people to eat healthful food. "Congress could require that people buy and consume broccoli at regular intervals," he wrote, "not only because the required purchases will positively impact interstate commerce, but also because people who eat healthier tend to be healthier and are thus more productive and put less of a strain on the health care system."
Defenders of the law said that analogy was flawed. Insurance can't work if people are allowed to opt out until they need medical attention. Premiums collected from many who are healthy pay the cost of care for those who get sick. Since the uninsured can get treated in the emergency room, deciding not to get coverage has consequences for other people who act prudently do buy coverage.
"The judge's decision contradicts decades of Supreme Court precedent that support the considered judgment of the democratically elected branches of government that the act's individual responsibility provision is necessary to prevent billions of dollars of cost-shifting every year by individuals without insurance who cannot pay for the health care they obtain," White House adviser Stephanie Cutter wrote in an Internet posting.
Vinson, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, said in his 78-page ruling that requiring people to buy health insurance marks a break with the nation's founding principles.
"It is difficult to imagine that a nation which began, at least in part, as the result of opposition to a British mandate giving the East India Company a monopoly and imposing a nominal tax on all tea sold in America would have set out to create a government with the power to force people to buy tea in the first place," the judge wrote. "If Congress can penalize a passive individual for failing to engage in commerce, the enumeration of powers in the Constitution would have been in vain."
Officials in the states that sued lauded Vinson's decision.
"In making his ruling, the judge has confirmed what many of us knew from the start: Obamacare is an unprecedented and unconstitutional infringement on the liberty of the American people," Florida Gov. Rick Scott said.

Barclays chief executive Bob Diamond stepped down on Tuesday as the banking and financial services giant plunged deeper into a scandal that may threaten one of professional golfs most active sponsors.
Barclays is accused of rigging an important interest-rate benchmark, and the company agreed last week to pay $453 million in fines for the violations. Diamond said on Tuesday he was stepping down to protect the company from further damage.
Barclays has been deeply involved in golf sponsorship in recent years. The company has sponsored two events on the European Tour in recent years, although it is no longer involved in next weeks Scottish Open and the first FedEx Cup playoff event on the PGA Tour. The company also has a long running endorsement agreement with Phil Mickelson.
The PGA Tour has no comment on the resignation of Bob Diamond, read a statement from the Tour. As far as the event is concerned, Barclays is committed through 2016, and they have no concerns about the immediate future of the event.


text: Study touts power of brand audio signatures Published on May 17, 1999. Redwood Shores, Calif.--Brand audio signatures - such as the ascending tones that are Intel Corp.'s aural logo - can build brand recognition in the same way that visuals can, according to a study released Monday. Conducted by Cheskin Research, a market research firm, and Beatnik, a provider of interactive audio technology for the Internet, the study consisted of one-on-one interviews in which respondents were asked to rate brand attributes based on sound only, visual identity only or a combination of both. "Companies who have not made a significant investment in audio branding are ignoring a tremendous marketing opportunity," said Davis Marsten, a principal at Cheskin.

On Waldzell 2005
It is difficult to answer the question of what I took with me from the Waldzell Meeting 2005 since a lot of changes and developments are still in some sort of evolvement. From my point of view, the conversations at the meeting emphasized the importance of single actions, the notion that you can change the world – at least to some extent – in everyday situations. I took with me a stronger enthusiasm about the idea of making your dreams and aims a reality and of taking up the challenge to answer the questions life asks you in a responsible and warm-hearted way. As for the most memorable moments at the Waldzell Meeting, first of all, the direct contact and conversations with the speakers come to my mind. During the breaks, there was time to get involved in specific discussions initiated by the speakers in the podium sessions and a lot of inspiring thoughts were discussed.
One of the most impressing experiences for me was the encounter with the "Architects of the Future" – 18 young people from all over the world, who have never seen each other before and who come from entirely different cultural backgrounds. All of us got on well and we benefited from each other to a large extent – not only concerning the insight into different projects opinions, which definitely broadened my horizon.

Kevin Burton Says Sources Close to Yahoo Tell Him Yahoo Will Buy Digg, Suggests Announcement Early Next Week with a $30 Million Price Tag
Update: Earlier this morning I blogged about Kevin Burton's reported impending Digg acquistion rummored by Yahoo!. I added on my own speculation about the possibility here. As it turns out this is probably not the case and this will go down as another of those rumors that was just that, a rumor.
In addition to Kevin Rose's comment in a Digg thread that Digg is "focused on features, not selling the company," per additional insider sources from Digg, Digg has "denied any discussions have taken place of any kind."
Although I still think that both Digg and Yahoo! could benefit from a marriage of sorts, Digg also has much left on their plate to do in the months ahead. Most noteably, as Kevin Rose has indicated in recent interviews, look for Digg to expand into other non-tech areas of news. It will be exciting to watch this unfold and exciting to see the company continue to grow over the course of the upcoming year. As one user on Digg wrote, "if Kevin was smart he would wait, because I think Digg will be able to buy yahoo if he is patient."
Kevin Burton's Feed Blog: Yahoo Will Buy Digg – Announcement Early Next Week First. Really, really, really, really, speculation should be labeled as just that speculation. Speculation is not news, it is the sport and hobby of horse handicappers, penny stock pickers and political pundits. Certainly there have been many a company that was "supposed" to have been purchased that was not. Remember how lathered up everyone got when Riya was being bought by Google?
This being said, and the strong disclaimer applied, it would be really cool if Yahoo! bought Digg. This was my only prediction for 2006 when I did my year end prediction round up last year. Of course both Jason Calaconis and Pat McCarthy suggested Digg would be bought this year by CNET — which also would be interesting given CNET's dominance in news (similar to Yahoo!).
So with these predictions firmly in place and with my racing forum in my back pocket, it is interesting to hear Kevin Burton say that multiple "sources close to Yahoo" have told him that Yahoo will buy Digg and that he expects an announcement "early next week." Kevin puts the price tag on Digg at nearly $30 million, which is what I suggested two days ago that they'd need to pay to buy them in my perhaps overly zealous six point plan on how Yahoo! will regain their footing in search. Kevin Rose has responded in a thread at Digg saying, "Rumors… we are focused on features, not selling the company.."
Still, you want some additional totally wild speculative kerosene to pour on the rumor? And I'm reaching here. 1. Earlier this month at the SDForum Search SIG (down at Yahoo!'s campus) when asked about how Digg planned to "make money" (and really more how companies like Digg were planning on making money) Kevin Rose, Digg's founder, joked, "well Joshua got his didn't he." He was of course referring to Joshua Schachter who shared the stage with him and whose company Del.icio.us was recently purchased by Yahoo! Although the purchase price was undisclosed it has been rumored to be anywhere between $15 and $30 million.
More totally unrelated handicapping. Yesterday an article disputing the blathering in the blogosphere regarding Yahoo! giving up on search was posted to the Yahoo blog. The story, an important message for Yahoo to get out for sure, interestingly enough very quickly made it to Digg's front page. In fact it made it to Digg's front page faster and with fewer Diggs than some Digg users might have thought it should take. Digg user Damentz pointed out when it was first picking up steam, "why is there already a green ribbon on the amount of diggs? Right now it's only at 24 diggs." I'm not sure when it hit the front page but the story picked up steam very quickly from there. (Green ribbons by the way mean one of your friends have dugg a story). One minute later it was pointed out that user Diggnation had already Dugg the story. The story was submitted by someone called Search Engines and the very first person to Digg the story after search engines submitted it was Digg founder Kevin Rose himself. Check the bottom of this Digg story for the "who dugg this" section.
Now of course it could be coincidence that as fast as things move at Digg that Kevin just happened to see the story first and was the first person to Digg it, or it could have been that he knew it was being placed and was giving a thumbs up bump to a story favorable to Yahoo! on Digg. Shortly thereafter the diggnation account also Dugg the story. Another early digger to the story was Dan Huard, a known associate. This caused Digg user mantarii to speculate, "Both kevinrose and danhuard both dugg this very quickly after it was submitted. then dignation followed soon after. Hmmmmmm…" Of course it is perfectly plausible that Dan would have Kevin marked as a friend and see the story from his friend and dugg it. This of course had digg user dykesat adding in, "The Yahoo story could be a product of a Digg buyout." Remember how the game of telephone worked kids, when you'd whisper something in your neighbor's ear and they'd pass it on and so on and so on until the last person said what had been passed on and it was nothing like what was started? Keep that in mind.
Anywho. It really is important to remember that this is just all good fun and speculation as sport, but I do hope Burton's right and that Yahoo! does in fact buy Digg. More than just being able to crow about my only prediction coming true I do honestly think that Yahoo! would benefit from integrating Digg into their social search strategy and I also think that Digg would benefit from having access to Yahoo!s deep pockets to grow like they really need to. Yahoo! has done a good job with letting Delicious and Flickr run their own shops and I think they'd be the best of the bunch as a corporate owner for Digg.
Again, I can't stress strongly enough how even with this rumor we all clearly label it as such.
You of course would never see a story like I just wrote here in the mainstream press based on pure speculation. Some might even suggest that the story I wrote is unresponsible and that Burton's post is unresponsible. Blogging is different than journalism but I still think it important that we realize that what we are doing here is in fact at this unconfirmed point nothing more than pure speculation.
In the past journalists have been accused of floating stories without enough source back up only to see what the story shakes out of the woodwork. This of course is not proper journalism, but the blogosphere really isn't journalism it's an unusual hybrid of things and it will be interesting to watch what falls out of the woodwork in the next few days on this. For more on the blathering you can watch memeorandum.

The Brief
The number one place for legal news, opinions, interviews and insights
The number one place for legal news, opinions, interviews and insights
The SRA has once again taken a stab at making changes seemingly for the better and unfortunately fallen right into a pit of angry lawyers. It recently announced plans to withdraw from the graduate recruitment code which seems to have upset some people. Oops…
Before we pass judgement on the decision, let's first consider the contributing factors. As it stands, according to the code (which firms currently abide by voluntarily) a training contract cannot be offered to a budding lawyer before 1st September of said applicant's final year as an undergraduate. By scrapping the code, firms nationwide would be able to offer training contracts whenever they saw fit. Is that such a bad thing?
This decision has been met with some reticence from recruitment and legal professionals, with one quoted in Lawyer 2B as saying, "It [the code] exists because law recruitment is different from any other form of recruitment." In my professional opinion as a legal recruiter I have to agree with this. "There are unscrupulous firms out there and students may be forced into accepting offers." This is an interesting comment and does beg the question, if you were forced into accepting an offer of employment that perhaps you may not want then how committed are you going to be to that job? One graduate recruitment manager at a City firm said they're "genuinely worried".
The key concerns seem to be around diversity and equality, with the general feeling being that the SRA is making a poor decision that will not promote a fair recruitment process for future lawyers. We want to make the legal profession more accessible and while academics still count for a lot, the background and path to your academic achievements are now seemingly less important. What I'm getting at here is the legal profession is no longer just an Oxbridge club. Personally, I agree; I think removing the code is a bad idea. However, I also wonder how much would change? Graduates would still only be able to start their training contracts in September following the completion of their LPC. But then a strong candidate may miss out simply because he or she applied a month later than someone else. Isn't this already the case though?
The system isn't perfect but this seems to be a change for the sake of making a change. Well what's the point in that? It would seem that the recruiting law firms to have voiced opinions so far are all singing from the same hymn sheet – DON'T DO IT!
I think the SRA needs to consult with its friends and colleagues within firms and the legal recruitment profession to gauge the opinions of those who would be affected by this decision. Not just the students but the people looking to hire them. Surely that would be sensible?
There is no conclusion to this piece, just an on-going discussion. One cannot assume that logic is universal, however it would appear that at the moment the SRA is being universally considered as illogical.

Updated 06/27/2010: Added COM port detection and X64 fixes
LcdWriter does
all the usual things that a lcd writer should do; displaying the
current media file, and it's play state (play, stop, pause, etc).
Media Center it also implements other state information that no other
(at least to
my knowledge) state display writer does; the currently recording show
and disc writing status.
LcdWriter supports the following displays:
also works with SageTV. To receive playback information neilm's GetStatus pluggin is required, recording information
uses neilm's SageTV webserver.
Besides the usual writing duties in the SageTV implemenation LcdWriter
can also reset the display timer (for those who use agressive power
management setttings), monitors the SageTV service via the webserver
on resume from standby to ensure that it comes back up properly, and can
set "Away" mode during recordings. For
those who want these features, this version also includes a
"NullWriter" which doesn't require an actual VFD.
.Net 2.0 is required. It is intended for Vista, but should work on XP
as well. If you have a previous version installed, you must manually
uninstall it before installing this version.
priority (e.g. playing music while watching a slide show creates two
sessions, priority indicates which will be displayed on the lcd) is
managed through the config tool. Select the session and "Raise" or
"Lower" its priority using the buttons. Some sessions (like Global and
Home) support custom text. Select the session, and change the "Display
Value" to the desired text.
The icons that are displayed for the play states are configurable.
If no writer device
is present, select the NullWriter to keep the display active.
Sage Config:
Click save when you're done.
For displays with remotes, edit key maps by right clicking on the LcdWriterHost icon in the system tray (you must use this application for remote based displays, the service will not work).
For Developers:
version can be made to work with other display types (this is the part
you would write), implement ILcdWriter in your writer class, put it in
the install directory the select it from the Writers Tab (not shown
public interface ILcdWriter : IDisposable {
void Clear(); void Init(); void Render(); void RenderString(byte row, string buffer); void ReviseString(int index, string buffer); void SetString(int index, string buffer, bool scroll, string sep, long rate, int repeat); void SetIcons(LcdIconCollection icons); int GetColumns(); int GetRows(); void Standby(); }

"I have hired Chris Sevick numerous times for a wide array of real estate issues. I own a number of rental properties and my wife recently purchased a commercial market in Ann Arbor, MI. The market that started out as a simple acquisition turned into a complex transaction - mostly due to the seller's realtor not willing to get involved.
Every facet of the transaction had to be reviewed from the new lease, legal transfer of the name - to insuring the massive amount of commercial equipment was released from liens. Chris was our partner every step of the way with numerous suggestions on how to solve problems and the associated risks.
I have called Chris about my rental homes with landlord/tenant issues as well and he has been very informative.
Call Chris today for your real estate law needs!!!"
-- Tom Rasmussen, Saline, MI
"Real Estate is a dynamic industry which requires competency & guidance. The home purchase or sale is one of the most expensive transactions people engage in. It has been a pleasure working with Chris Sevick. He is thorough and provides clear explanations for my clients."
-- Victoria Evans, ABR, Ann Arbor, MI
"Chris was very patient with me and offered excellent advice through all phases as I successfully purchased my first home. Chris' extensive knowledge of the real estate process proved extremely valuable to me as I was unsure what to expect but Chris kept in close communication and guided me through the process very smoothly. I never felt rushed in my phone conversations with Chris, he made sure he explained all that I needed to know and the options available to me and then gave extra time to ensure that I understood and didn't have any unanswered questions. Due to the fantastic customer service, pleasant demeanor and attention to detail I can and will highly recommend Chris to anyone who is in need of assistance with purchasing their house."
-- Jason Nadon, Chelsea, MI
"I contacted Chris to assist in the preparation of a will for my 89 year old mother. Chris sat down with both of us and explained the process now as well as what to expect after my mother's eventual passing and helped us make some difficult decisions. He then prepared the documents including a power for medical care so that I can be a part of my mother's decisions if she can't make them. Then, due to the bad weather he came to our home to have us sign the documents and then provided us with copies the next day. Chris took what was a very stressful experience and "held our hands" as he stepped us through it. I can't think of anyone I would rather have trusted my mother to. I'm even trying to get my husband to meet with him now so we can update our documents too."
-- Mrs. D.L. McArthur, Ann Arbor, MI
"Hiring Chris Sevick to represent me, when my landlord was being discriminatory, was the best thing that I could have done. I was so confused trying to figure out what my tenant's rights were and how they actually pertained to my situation. Chris sat down with me and went over what my landlord could and could not do and what I could do to protect myself.
Talking to Chris made me feel like I was being advised by a trusted friend. He consistently went above and beyond the call of duty and held my hand every step of the way. The advice that he gave me was invaluable and the peace of mind that he provided me with was priceless."

And I shall call him.... Mini Me :-)
This pitbull wouldn't leave the shelter without the chihuahua he was protecting, so the owner adopted both!
Back story at Rocket Dog Rescue.
I have the biggest love for people who go looking to adopt and can not bear to separate sibling or pet friends so take them both. That is the epitome of love and caring, and a way to ensure that the new adoptees are going to have an amazing transition with their new family.

We've got some great news for fans of Fixer Upper stars, Chip and Joanna Gaines! The couple's bed and breakfast, The Magnolia House, will soon be taking reservations for 2017. Yes, that means you can stay in a home renovated by the couple that they actually designed to replicate their own farmhouse.
The Magnolia House is located in a town outside of Waco, Texas called McGregor. Fans of Fixer Upper may remember that they showed this house to a couple on the show. When the couple opted for a different home, Chip and Joanna couldn't let this property go. They immediately started renovating it to turn it into a vacation home and B&B.
The official Magnolia Instagram account announced the big news on Aug 11. "You've been waiting patiently.... Magnolia House availability for 2017 goes live NEXT Thursday, August 18! Set yourself a reminder and don't forget to book your Waco get away! For more information click the link in profile!"
The house has Joanna and Chip written all over it. Inside, you'll find white shiplap on every wall (and even the ceilings), Joanna's signature open floor plan, exposed wood shelving in the kitchen and an iron stairway railing.
According to the Magnolia website (where you'll make your reservation), you'll be able to start making reservations on Aug. 18 at 7:00 pm CST. Something tells us you'll have to be quick. We wouldn't be surprised if the entire year is reserved in under an hour. That's just the power of Chip and Joanna Gaines, y'all!
The Magnolia House can sleep eight people and costs $695 per night.

Botswana is endowed with stocks of natural resources; minerals, energy, protected areas, crops, pastureland and non-timber forest products, which account for one-third of the country's total wealth and underpin several important contributions that drive the economy such as nature-based tourism, mining and agricultural activities. Tourism is a significant contributor to the country's economy (7.5% contribution in 2008 and 8.5% in 2014, expected to rise to 10.5 % in 2025 (www.wttc.org) and drives the need to strengthen conservation efforts in biodiversity. BIOFIN in Botswana seeks to facilitate for increased investments on biodiversity and close the resource gap.
Prioritised Finance Solutions
- CSR Act and regulations
- Eco certification (development of guidelines and standards)
- Consolidation of environmental funds, and strengthening the National Environment Fund
- Green banking (development of sustainability standards in the financial sector)
Progress Reports
The PIR has been completed and is being readied for publishing. The process included a review of the policies, legal instruments and institutional set ups for biodiversity financing. Through the PIR, Botswana has been able to identify the priority sectors of focus for BIOFIN as well as recommendations of some of the finance solutions for consideration. Good policies and strategies are in place to guide the processes, however, weak institutional mechanisms to support implementation, fragmented responsibilities, and resource inadequacies, centralised decision making which also results in the resource burden on the side of government.
The BER has been completed and is being readied for printing and publishing. A review of the public and private biodiversity related expenditures were as done. However, due to data gaps the results could not be used to calculate the finance gap, as they are incomparable with the BSAP as it is not comprehensive.
The FNA has been completed is being readied for printing and publishing. Using the BIOFIN methodology, the BSAP actions have been costed. The cost of the BSAP is therefore regarded as the finance gap.
Undertaking development and prioritisation of finance solutions. An inventory of about 60 existing and possible solutions has been done and these are being detailed so as to inform the prioritisation process.
Consultations are ongoing to facilitate the implementation of the solutions that have been prioritised above.

Colorado Bike to Work Week starts on Monday
June 19, 2010
Steamboat Springs — Local bicycle advocacy group Routt County Riders, in partnership with the city of Steamboat Springs, invites bicyclists of all ages to join next week for the Colorado Bike to Work Week.

When my daughter turned 4 months, her doctor told me I can start feeding her baby food. As a first time mom it was hard to choose what baby food products were safe to give to my daughter. So I went baby food shopping just to see what kind of ingredients they had so I can try and make them myself. They had squash, sweet potato, green beans, and peas. So I thought I could make these easily and store them in the fridge. I had the WIC program which is for moms to help with the baby foods, but you can only get the products they tell you to buy. One of the products they offered was Beech Nut. One of the nutritionist for WIC told me that this is a well known product and that it is really safe for your child. So I listened. I still ended up cooking for my daughter any way but when we were not at home I feed her the Beech Nut products I was getting from WIC. (they were free so I had to use them). I recently found out that Beech Nut had Recalls on some of their products for being "contaminated with little pieces of glass". You have to be very very careful of what baby foods you feed your children because anyone can tell you their opinion on which products are good. Cooking fresh foods at home is the best way to go.
About Me
Hello everyone, welcome to my page. Let me tell you a little bit about me. My name is Malyun Abukar, I am a mother to a beautiful daughter and a wife to my wonderful husband. I have been married for about two and a half years now. I'm a retail major, and have been working in the retail industry for over 5 years. I want to share my wonderful experience in motherhood. Being a first time mom can be the scariest thing in the world. You don't know what to do or what is happening to your body. People will give their opinions on how its like to carry a child and giving birth, or what you should do before the baby comes. I want to be able to help out all the new moms out there that have the same kind of questions I had while pregnant and after, so I can hopefully make their lives a little easier. I want to Let them know all about me and my experience and that they are not alone.


text: What going on? I just read where Matt Cutts said: Having multiple sites targeting subsections of a particular niche can be indicative of spam - Cutts mentioned that "having multiple sites for different areas of the same industry can be a red flag to Google." This is clear indication that Google is capable of scrutinizing not only an individual site, but all of the sites owned by a particular registrant/entity/person. So, I guess a person working within an industry let's say Golf can't have 10 or more websites that focus on specific subjects with no duplicate content. Like a websites called: Golf Drivers, Golf Irons, Golf Putters, Golf Training Aids, Golf Bags, Golf Balls, etc. What's wrong with a single person owning and operating sites with no duplicate content within the same niche but different with lazer targetting focus websites? Thoughts?

February is here, which means the countdown to Selection Sunday on March 12 has begun.
In making our first break down on the potential NCAA tournament field, one trend jumped out-it's tough to come up with 68 tournament–worthy teams.
That will change, of course, as the regular season concludes.
For now, we will stick with the Top 4 seeds, slotting them into their regions.
So here's our first guess at how we think the top of the bracket will look when it is announced.
East Regional
- Villanova 2. Louisville 3. Florida 4. Oregon
South Regional
- Kentucky 2. Baylor 3. Virginia 4. Duke
West Regional
- Gonzaga 2. Arizona 3. Florida State 4. Creighton
Midwest Regional

Can tribunals decide on issues not in dispute?
14 August 2014
May an employment tribunal determine issues not in dispute between the parties? The Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT) has made a ruling on this point.
Many thanks to Daniel Barnett for this summary of the judgment by the EAT in Mr Clutch Auto Centres v Blakemore.
In this case the principal dispute between the parties was whether the employee had resigned on 18th October 2012 (as the employer contended), or whether he had been summarily dismissed on 6th November 2012 (as he himself contended). Both parties therefore accepted that the employment relationship had come to an end, and on the employee's case this must have happened by 6th November 2012 at the latest. At first instance the employment tribunal rejected both parties' contentions, and found as a fact that the employment relationship continued.
The employer appealed to the EAT (HHJ Peter Clark presiding). The appeal was allowed, with the EAT accepting that the employment relationship had ended by virtue of the employee's election to institute proceedings on the basis of a dismissal he alleged had been effective on 6th November 2012. He would not be permitted to resile from that position.
Essentially this means that an employment tribunal may not determine issues which are not in dispute between the parties. Going further, HHJ Peter Clark suggested that an employment tribunal should not even go as far as to express an opinion on matters not in dispute.

LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - Glad Tidings Church in Lake Charles has given away over 1,000 Thanksgiving turkey dinners to local families in need.
The church began offering vouchers for the dinners in early November, and families had to attend the church's gospel service to receive the dinners, which included a full-sized turkey, several sides and a pumpkin pie.
Pastor Gary Yvers helped distribute the dinners and said that now is the time to give to those who need it most.
"There is a lot of hurting people in Calcasieu Parish. There's a lot of people that are suffering, and it especially blesses me when we get to help people that aren't able to work for whatever reason, and I think Thanksgiving: being thankful for what we have is extremely important," Yvers said.
The church first began its dinner program in 1999 and hopes to continue helping families in need on Thanksgiving next year as well.

My team at work tries to get to work by 6am everyday. It is not surprising that some, if not all of us, come in groggy and obviously sleepy. So this morning, we decided to head to Starbucks across the street.
I can't remember what we were talking about, since my brain was still fighting to get some REM. Guess what else happens when I'm "out of it"? I mispronounce things! My Bisaya accent creeps in, of course. So we were talking about something, and I remembered saying, "Unfortunately nut!"
Of course, I had to correct myself. But that is kinda nice, too. If you have a Filipino accent, you can get away with calling someone a nut(used in place of "not" and only when it works) without repercussion! Hehe. Like in this scenario:
Man(kinda creepy-looking): "Miss, can you give me your number?"
Filipino girl (preferably Bisayan): "Anpoortyuneetlee, NUT!"
That means no, and the girl gets away calling him a nut. As long as she remembers to be consistent with the accent. That is so awesome!

With all the hype and social media noise around the current Race The Tube phenomenon right now, we started to wonder what it might look like if someone did the same thing in Glasgow.
Then we started laughing.
There are underground stops in the city that you could practically walk between and still catch the same tube before it came around again… And if you did miss it, you'd never be waiting that long before the same train comes around again. That's the unique charm of the Clockwork Orange. The same trains go round and round on a loop.
So why rush it, we thought? Nothing better than an afternoon meander around Glasgow's west end, now, is there?
And if you haven't seen any others in the #RaceTheTube series watch this.

An instrument of the Mars Rover Curiosity was adapted to detect methane leaks on the Earth
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation and is a major natural gas utility in the USA. The company is now testing a new device for the detection of methane leaks based on an instrument of the Mars Rover Curiosity. Developed to find out if there is methane on Mars, a possible trace of biochemical reactions, this instrument is a thousand times more sensitive than those used so far by PG&E to detect leaks of methane.

Volvo Sponsors
World-Class Sailing
The Volvo Ocean Race provides the ultimate test for some of the world's greatest sailors, pushing teams to their limits in a 46,000-nautical-mile race around the world. Combining human adventure with technological innovation, cutting-edge design and the inherent pre-requisite for safety, the race embodies the philosophy that goes in to every Volvo car.
Building a path towards potentially competing in the ultimate sailing challenge, Volvo has supported British sailing, from grassroots through to internationally competitive sailors for nearly 20 years. From the Volvo Gill Optimist Class, through the RS Association and on to our world-class brand ambassadors that make up Team Volvo, Volvo is a driving force in British sailing.
Meet Team Volvo
In the UK, Volvo supports some of Britain's best sailing talent as they compete on the international stage, with many going on to challenge themselves further on the 'Everest of sailing' – the Volvo Ocean Race.
Since 1999, Volvo has supported sailing from grassroots, through youth development, up to professionally competitive athletes at the pinnacle of their sport. Collectively known as Team Volvo, this inspirational group of individuals represents the very best of British sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing talent. The team includes award-winning athletes, Volvo Ocean Race winners, multiple World Champions and Olympians – all of whom are legends within the sport.
Helena Lucas MBE
Double Paralympic medallist and British sailing's golden girl, Helena Lucas MBE made history by claiming 2.4mR Paralympic gold at London 2012, becoming the first ever female winner of this male-dominated Paralympic class and Britain's first ever Paralympic sailing gold medallist. Helena medalled again at the Rio 2016 Paralympics, gaining a bronze, officially making her Britain's most successful sailing Paralympian.
Ian Walker MBE
Volvo Ocean Race winner, Yachtsman of the Year 2015 and Olympian, Ian is a sailing legend and an inspiration to many sailors around the world. Two-time Olympic silver medallist, and coach to Shirley Robertson during her Gold-winning Games in Athens (2004), Ian has most recently competed in three Volvo Ocean Races, finally becoming the first ever British winner of the race as skipper of Abu Dhabi in 2015. Ian drives a Volvo XC90.
Shirley Robertson OBE
Shirley Robertson OBE made it into the history books by becoming the first British woman to win two Olympic Gold medals at consecutive Games – Sydney and Athens. She has since had a successful career as the BBC Olympic Sailing commentator, as well as presenting and producing CNN's monthly sailing TV programme 'Mainsail'. As a Team Volvo ambassador, Shirley will fulfil a role to continue to inspire youth sailors and new participants in the sport of sailing.
There are two sides to every athletes life. We caught up with Volvo Ocean Race winner and father Ian Walker MBE.

Has anyone dealt with Flagstar? I'm so frustrated with them. I'm working on a shortsale and we got to the point of having an appraisal done. They took a month and a half to let me know what they want to do. Here is my problem. The valuation was too high because the appraiser used comps that were 12-24 months old, homes that were sold between $180,000 to $210,000. Yet in the past 6 months homes were selling for $65,000 to $175,000 (of the 5 sold, one was at $65,000, three at $110,000 and one at $175,000). I've been calling to dispute this but all I get is voicemails and no one calls me back. Owner called me today that someone from Flagstar called him to inform him that short sale has been closed because no one has responded to their counter. Any suggestions?
Views: 63
I'd likely escalate, reopen the file, and look into doing a value dispute. Babysitting these banks is a full time job!
Call me anytime if you want help.

Can she also email a Microsoft document on her iPad?
- Asked by Isaiah Diunne S from Seoul Korea.

Best Answer:
Sadly, Microsoft has not developed any apps for word processing or Office suites of the sort.
However, Apple does have their iWork suite in the App Store: (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). Apple's apps are similar to Microsoft's Word, Excel, and PowerPoint but have different user interfaces.
Apple sells their apps individually for $9.99 each.

Who Has Standing To Challenge The Appointment Of A Guardian
August 29, 2011
Authored by: Luke Lantta
The class of people who can be appointed guardian or who are statutorily required to receive notice of a guardianship proceeding may be the only people who can later challenge the manner in which a guardian was appointed. Seems pretty intuitive. But what about a situation where two parties are divorced and one ex-spouse has a guardian appointed to go after the other ex-spouse? And the ex-spouse getting sued claims that the guardianship proceeding was a fraud just to go after him? In fact, the ex-spouse claims, his ex isn't even incapacitated at all.
In Cacioppo v. Emolo, the New Jersey court of appeals was faced with that question: who has standing to challenge the appointment of a guardian?
After a very bitter divorce action and in the midst of contentious post-judgment matrimonial litigation, Tracey L. DeGroot, the ex-wife of John C. Emolo, went over to a different county than that in which the matrimonial action was pending, did not tell the court that matrimonial litigation was pending in another county, and got Richard K. Cacioppo appointed as her legal guardian. Cacioppo then brought a firestorm of abusive litigation claims against Emolo, his current wife, Emolo's law partner, Emolo's law firm, and Emolo's parents.
Emolo and the other defendants filed a counterclaim and third-party complaint, attacking the manner in which Cacioppo was appointed as DeGroot's guardian. Emolo claimed that the guardianship was procured by fraud because DeGroot was not incompetent, the court appointing Cacioppo as guardian was not informed of the pending matrimonial litigation, and notice of the guardianship proceeding was not provided to Emolo. The trial court dismissed the counterclaim/third-party complaint with prejudice and without explanation.
On appeal, the New Jersey appellate court affirmed the trial court's dismissal and explained that Emolo lacked standing to challenge the guardianship appointment. The question of who had standing to attack a guardianship appeared to be a case of first impression in New Jersey. So, the appellate court looked at who could be appointed guardian and who was entitled to receive notice of a guardianship proceeding. An ex-spouse did not fall into either category. Once Emolo and DeGroot were divorced, Emolo became a "mere stranger" to DeGroot, and a "mere stranger" could not bring a guardianship action and was not entitled to notice of a guardianship action.
The appellate court found that Cacioppo's failure to inform the judge in the guardianship proceeding that DeGroot was embroiled in matrimonial litigation violated New Jersey rules, but it would not "speculate as to the impact of Cacioppo's withholding." The court went on to state that "[s]uch a claim can and should only be raised before the issuing court by a person who has standing to do so." Therein lies the problem.
Who has standing to do so? Emolo claims that he was injured by Cacioppo's withholding of information and may well have been, but Emolo doesn't have standing to raise the issue with the court who appointed Cacioppo as guardian. It seems unlikely any non-stranger to DeGroot is going to rush into court to attack her guardian. So, apparently, it's a wrong without a remedy.

Try as it might, Mitsui Sumitomo Seguros S.A. ("Mitsui") could not kick an arbitration award that potentially freed its insured's suppliers from liability for a 2007 incident at a Brazilian aluminum plant insured by Mitsui. Mitsui's argument that it was not a party to the arbitration agreement between its insured—Alumina de Norte do Brasil S.A. (Alunorte), and the insured's suppliers, Alstom Power, Inc. and Alstom Brasil Energia e Transporte Ltda—failed because the Mitsui-Alunorte insurance contract gave Mitsui a clear subrogation right and "an insurer-subrogee stands in the shoes of its insured."
On Monday, June 20, 2016, Judge Hellerstein of the Southern District of New York held that Mitsui Sumitomo Seguros S.A. is bound by an arbitration clause between Alunorte and the insured's suppliers, Alstom Power, Inc. and Alstom Brasil Energia e Transporte Ltda. Alunorte, a Brazilian aluminum refiner entered into a supply contract with Alstom Power and Alstom Brasil, a Brazilian power-generation service and equipment provider. The contract contained a clause stipulating that upon failure of good faith negotiations between the parties the disagreement would be arbitrated in New York under International Chamber of Commerce rules.
This case arises from an ICC ruling regarding two separate incidents involving products supplied by Alstom at the Alunorte facility, which resulted in lost property and profits. Mitsui sued Alstom in Brazilian courts for the indemnity payment it made to Alunorte following the incidents, alleging that Alstom was the cause of the damage. Alstom sought to have the claim dismissed in Brazil, and moved to the ICC in New York, per the arbitration clause in the supply contract. Mitsui entered a special appearance before the ICC, asserting that the ICC lacked jurisdiction in the matter. The ICC court claimed jurisdiction over the dispute and ultimately dismissed Mitsui's indemnity claim against Alstom, finding that Alstom was not at fault for the incidents occurring in Alunorte's facility and holding that Mitsui was bound to the arbitration agreement between Alunorte and Alstom as a subrogee of Alunorte.
Alstom sought to confirm the arbitration award in New York state court and Mitsui removed the case to the Southern District of New York. Mitsui filed a motion to dismiss Alstom's petition, arguing that it was not bound by the arbitration clause provided in the supply contract, that the district court of New York lacked personal jurisdiction, and that dismissal was appropriate on forum non conveniens grounds. Judge Hellerstein found for Alstom and confirmed the award.
The court held that federal law governs because Mitsui's removal of the case from state court to federal court was proper on federal jurisdiction grounds and on consideration of what the contractual parties intended as part of their forum-selection clause. In his opinion, Judge Hellerstein stated that federal arbitration law "'clearly established'…that 'an insurer-subrogee stands in the shoes of its insured.'" "Mitsui knew when it extended insurance that it would be assuming subrogation rights, and taking over the rights of its insureds, should it have to indemnify its insured…. By pursuing Alunorte's contract claim against Alstom, Mitsui was bound by the arbitration clause that would have bound Alunorte."
Judge Hellerstein dismissed Mitsui's lack of personal jurisdiction claim, stating that "just as it is bound by the arbitration provision in the supply contract, it is equally bound by the forum selection provision therein," which designates New York as the forum for arbitration. The court also found that Mitsui had received proper notice of the proceedings and could not therefore claim failure of service of process. Finally, the court's forum non conveniens analysis established New York as an appropriate forum for this action seeing as the contractual parties "agreed to, and did arbitrate this matter in New York."
This decision is a good reminder that an insurer cannot step in and out of the shoes it assumes when it pays a claim and becomes subrogated to its insured's rights. "These rights are defined by contracts made by the insureds, and Mitsui, as insurer, can have no better, or different, rights than those belonging to its insured." The laces are tied and buckles are fastened.
