The Spotlight: Toxic
Wastes and Race
Dillard environmentalist receives national honor
Beverly Wright, director of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice at Dillard University, is one of 10 recipients of this year's Heinz Awards because, the awards board said, she has broughtattention to environmental issues affecting poor communities. The awards by the Heinz Family Foundation, which are being announced today, recognize public-spirited work. They will be presented Oct. 28 in a ceremony in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. Each recipient will be given $100,000 and a medallion.
Time for New Type of EPA Regional Administrators The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created in December 1970 under President Richard M. Nixon. From the very beginning, EPA's ten regions were set up as nearly autonomous sub-agencies. President Barack Obama made a bold move this year by selecting Lisa P. Jackson, the first African American to head the EPA. Now the president is set to select EPA regional administrators—ten important and powerful posts that can reshape the agency which suffered severe setbacks under President George W. Bush. Having Jackson, an African American woman who grew up in New Orleans, at the helm of EPA is historic. However, having a black head at EPA headquarters in Washington, DC is not sufficient. Fundamental change is needed in the regions, especially regions where states have a legacy of slavery, Jim Crow segregation, and resistance to civil rights and equal environmental protection under the law, such as Region 4, eight states in the Deep South (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee).
Families who live near landfill say pollution contaminated their water wells, caused cancer Nearly 100 people attended an NAACP rally in Dickson to call attention to polluted well water that one family alleges is causing cancer. Jimmie Garland, vice president of the NAACP's Middle Tennessee Chapter, says people have been sickened by drinking contaminated water. Garland says since many black families were affected, it's a sort of "environmental racism." One of the speakers on Saturday, Sheila Holt-Orsted, says her family's well was contaminated by chemicals from the former Dickson County Landfill. She says she has cancer, and her father died of cancer two years ago.
Middle Tennessee rally links pollution and racism Jared Thompson has made the trip from his home in Northern California to visit relatives in Kingston Springs every year since he was in grade school.He'd heard family stories about distant relatives from Dickson and about the county's troubles with contaminated drinking water, but when he heard about Saturday's NAACP environmental racism rally, he wanted to learn more."I'd never been to this type of event before, so I didn't know what to expect," said Thompson, 26. "But this seems like a good turnout, and there's a lot of energy in the crowd. I hope this event can spark a change because this seems like a big problem."Thompson was one of about 85 people who attended the environmental racism rally in Dickson. The event aimed to promote understanding of the issue, organizers said.
A real-life example of the deadly mix of "wastes and race" Historically, African American and other people of color communities have borne a disproportionate burden of pollution from landfills, garbage dumps, incinerators, sewage treatment plants, chemical industries and a host of other polluting facilities. Many dirty industries have followed the "path of least resistance" allowing communities of color to become environmental "sacrifice zones" and the "dumping grounds" for all kinds of health-threatening operations.
Landfill Lawsuits Continue The fight continues more than 20 years after a Dickson County family's well was found to be contaminated with a toxic chemical from a nearby landfill. Since the first lawsuit filed in 2003, the Holt family says they're a victim of environmental racism. And they won't stop fighting for justice until the landfill is clean and many families like theirs no longer have to worry for their safety. At the rally, Sheila Holt-Orsted says, "They don't know what they have taken from my family." She holds up a picture of her father at a rally in Dickson. By Erika Kurre for WZTV-TV.
NAACP Hold Rally; Claims Toxic Well Poisoned Black Families Their story has been featured across the country, and for years, the family has claimed poisons from a local landfill have been causing deadly diseases, including cancer. Saturday, the NAACP is rallying behind them in a fight they say is really for all Americans. "When this problem is healing for Holt family, it is also healing for Dickson County," said supporter Jerry Jerkins. Saturday's event brought awareness to what the NAACP and a Dickson family call "environmental racism." For years, the Holt family says they were exposed to toxic water because of a nearby landfill. They believe studies have proven a chemical that can cause cancer was leaking into the neighbors' well water supply system. For years Sheila Holt-Orsted says her family and others on Eno Road were being exposed to a toxic chemical that leaked into their well water system. By NewsChannel5.com.
In Our Backyard: Environmental Racism in Dickson You may not have heard of Dickson, Tennessee, but this weekend, the town is center stage in the movement for environmental justice. Civil rights leaders gathered there for a national summit on environmental racism to highlight environmental health issues facing communities of color. The location was a pointed choice. For about a decade, the town of about 12,000 has been at the center of an environmental lawsuit involving a local family and a contaminated landfill, which is just a stone's throw from dozens of homes in a mostly Black community. The Holts claim that family members have been plagued by health problems due to a toxin from the landfill, trichloroethylene (TCE).
National Civil Rights Leaders Gather for Environmental Racism Rally On September 5, 2009 Civil Rights Leaders from across the nation will gather on the grounds of the Memorial Building Mayors Office at 202 Center Avenue in Dickson, Tennessee for an all day rally from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Dickson is home to one of the worst Environmental Racism cases in the history of the United States. The Holt family has been fighting for the past 10 years to bring justice and awareness to the contaminated water leaked from the county landfill.
Rally for Environmental Justice in Dickson, TN Rally with Justice and Witness Ministries of the United Church of Christ, the Tennessee Baptist Missionary Convention, The Center for Environmental Justice of Clark Atlanta University and the Tennessee NAACP on September 5, 2009, 10 a.m. at the Memorial Building, 200 Center Ave, in Dickson TN (35 miles west of Nashville) in support of the Holt family whose well became contaminated with TCE, a dangerous toxin. Those who lived on the property, just 54 ft from the landfill have suffered death and disease. The family believes their health issues came from drinking contaminated water from their well. Having finally been warned of the danger, they stopped drinking the well water. Their homestead is still contaminated. You can sign the petition at by clicking HERE.
Sept. 5 Labor Day "Call to End Toxic Racism" Rally in Dickson, Tennessee To highlight the nation's continuing toxic dumping problem in African American communities, civil rights, faith based, environmental justice, and health leaders from around the country are planning a rally in Dickson, Tennessee on Labor Day weekend Saturday, September 5. Dickson is located about 35 miles west of Nashville. Organizers of the rally chose to highlight the struggle of the African American Harry Holt family--the "poster child" for toxic racism. The Holt family's 150-acre farm and wells were poisoned and their wealth stolen by the leaky Dickson County Landfill. Five generations of Holts have called the Eno Road community home.
Environmental Justice Advocates Testify: Repeal Bush-Era Hazardous Waste LoopholeRule deregulates 1.5 million tons of toxic waste, puts low-income and communities of color at increased risk
Environmental justice advocates from around the country traveled to Arlington, Virginia today to ask the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to repeal a Bush-era hazardous waste loophole and restore safeguards to prevent toxic spills and contamination.
U.S. blacks face harsher climate change impact
American blacks are likely to suffer disproportionately from climate change and they are willing to pay to combat it, a commission aimed at raising awareness about global warming said. Blacks are more than twice as likely as whites to live in cities where the so-called heat island effect is expected to make temperature increases more severe, the newly formed group said at a briefing. More blacks also will be "fuel poor" as energy demand rises due to higher air-conditioning loads, population growth and urbanization, commission said.
Sign the UCC Petition to End Toxic Racism in Dickson, Tennessee
It has now been a year since the United Church of Christ released "Toxic Wastes and Race at Twenty." The 2007 UCC report profiled the failure of various levels of government to protect the African American Harry Holt family's in Dickson, Tennessee who's wells were contaminated with the toxic chemical TCE from a county owned landfill.

EPA sets tougher air-quality standards
The EPA's new smog limit is 75 parts per billion of ozone, down from the current level of 80. Because of rounding, the old standard was effectively 84 parts per billion. The EPA failed to head the advice of its independent science advisory panel who unanimously had said the standard should be no higher than 70 parts per billion. In a March 2007 letter to the EPA, panelists said there is "overwhelming scientific evidence" for a reduction of that magnitude.
Local Citizens, Conservation Group File Suit Seeking Cleanup of Alleged Water Contamination in Dickson County, Tennessee
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and two residents of Dickson, Tennessee, Sheila Holt-Orsted and Beatrice Holt, today filed a lawsuit against the Dickson County and City governments. The Complaint alleges that trichloroethylene (TCE), an industrial chemical disposed at the Dickson Landfill that has been linked to neurological and developmental harm and cancer, poses an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health and the environment.
MLK and the struggle for environmental justice
As we celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and consider the effects Dr. King's work have had on the United States, I want to highlight an often overlooked aspect of that work, how Martin Luther King and the civil rights struggle have influenced American notions of environmental health and justice.
Tour Planned to Highlight Environmental Racism: National Campaign
to Spotlight the Deadly Mix of Toxic Racism and TCE Contamination
on an African American Family
On Thursday, November 29, a coalition of national leaders,
representing environmental justice, civil rights, scientists,
women's health, academia, faith-based and religious
groups, legal, and elected officials, including congressional
staffers, from around the country will meet at Nashville's
Fisk University and board a bus for Dickson, a small town
located about 35 miles to the west. The national leaders will
travel to Dickson and participate in the "Take Back
Black Health Toxics Tour" and see for themselves in
real time a slam-dunk, in-your-face case of environmental
environmental justice braintrust: A dispatch from the Congressional
Black Caucus conference
Appropriately, the theme of this year's 37th annual Congressional
Black Caucus Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., was
"Unleashing Our Power." For the first time in history,
the U.S. House of Representatives has four African-Americans
serving as chairpersons of major committees. In addition,
17 African-Americans lead major subcommittees, and Rep. James
Clyburn of South Carolina is the House Majority Whip. Activists
and health experts hope that this change in leadership will
help enact serious environmental justice legislation to promote
safe and healthy communities.
on Principle: The Global Push for Environmental Justice
Climate change, acid rain, depletion of the ozone layer, species
extinction—all of these issues point to one thing: environmental
health is a global issue that concerns all nations of the
world. Now add environmental justice to the list. From South
Bronx to Soweto, from Penang to El Paso, communities all over
the world are finding commonality in their experiences and
goals in seeking environmental justice.
Mayors' Judgment Clouded by Smog: The Air is Tough to
Environmental racism has moved to the forefront of African
American concerns, but some Black mayors have crawled into
bed with the polluters. Desperate to get job-creating industry
into their communities at any environmental cost, these city
executives throw health issues to the winds, their minds clouded
by dreams of "economic development." Sadly, the
National Conference of Black Mayors' executive director is
urging federal officials not to raise standards of allowable
air pollution, in fear of chasing away investment in their
cities. The result: the populations of Black-led cities will
literally choke on the chimera of growth.
Urged to Strengthen Ozone Standards to Protect the Most Vulnerable
Air pollution threatens the health of millions of Americans,
especially those who live in urban areas. More than half of
U.S. population lives in counties with unsafe air. Ground-level
ozone or smog affects more than 158 million Americans in ten
of the eleven most populous states (California, Georgia, Illinois,
Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Texas). Air pollution claims 70,000 lives a year, nearly
twice the number killed in traffic accidents.
racism takes Senate stage
Sheila Holt-Orsted sat quietly in the Senate hearing room
in the Dirksen Senate Office Building while before her a dream
was fulfilled: the first Congressional hearing on environmental
justice. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), chairwoman
of the Environmental and Public Works Committee's Subcommittee
on Superfund and Environmental Health, held the unprecedented
hearing on July 25.
Wastes and Race at Twenty
The new United Church of Christ report finds African
Americans and other people of color more concentrated near
wastes facilities than two decades ago. In 2007, people
of color now make up 56 percent of the residents living in
neighborhoods within two miles of the nation's commercial
hazardous waste facilities; they make up a whopping 69 percent
in neighborhoods with clustered waste facilities.
County (North Carolina) Protests at Twenty-Five
It has now been twenty-five years since the 1982
protests against a controversial toxic waste dump in Warren
County, North Carolina gave birth to the national environmental
justice movement. The protests also put environmental
racism on the map.
Well of Pain: Their Water Was Poisoned by Chemicals
Was Their Treatment Poisoned by Racism? The
Harry Holt family in Dickson, Tennessee wells were poisoned
with trichloroethylene or TCE from the Dickson County Landfill
while the government stood by and did nothing.
Black Metropolis in the Twenty-First Century: Race, Power,
and Politics of Place
This new book brings together key essays that
seek to make visible and expand our understanding of the role
of government (policies, programs, and investments) in shaping
cities and metropolitan regions; the costs and consequences
of uneven urban and regional growth patterns; suburban sprawl
and public health, transportation, and economic development;
and the enduring connection of place, space, and race in the
era of increased globalization.

This beautiful lace and tulle gown was one of the first dresses I tried on and it ended up being the perfect dress! I love it so much because it is very elegant, yet fun! The gown is made of satin with beaded lace overlay on the bodice, a ruched satin sash, and three layers of soft tulle overlaying the full skirt. I ordered both the dress and sash in white and was very happy with the look. It was worn at my morning wedding and reception for only about 7 hrs total.
Here is the webpage for more info: http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/Bridal-Collection/2243
This dress was ordered in a size 6 and has had several slight alterations. My seamstress took in the waist to be approximately a size 4, the front of the dress was shortened/hemmed slightly (I'm 5'6" and wore 2" heels), and the seamstress also added a little extra lace in the front neckline since I didn't want so much cleavage exposed! It was very delicately done and blends right in to look as if it was always there but can be removed if you prefer. Finally, there was an identical small satin button added to the back of the dress, just below the first one to make the keyhole closure extra secure. It looks super cute and isn't out of place at all. The only damage noted after the wedding was a small snag in the tulle in the lower portion of the skirt in the back of the dress. This has been carefully repaired and because the tulle is so full and plentiful is easily hidden in the folds of the skirt. Please feel free to email me with any questions and I'm happy to send additional pictures as well!
This gown has been carefully stored and hung in a breathable wedding dress garment bag. It has only been spot cleaned by hand and is in excellent condition. The garment bag is yours to keep with the purchase of the dress.

Plane orientations and radiation components
|Last update: Jul. 2015
Horizontal plane - fix-tilted plane - normal plane
NB: the irradiation collected by a tilted surface is composed of a part of direct irradiation (as soon as the sun is visible by the panel), a part of diffuse irradiation coming for the portion of the sky vault visible by the panel, and a part of irradiataion reflected by the ground. The albedo caracterizes the reflective capacity of the ground. The default value is 0.2. If the ground is not very reflective, like for instance dark ground, just set 0.1.
Anyway, the reflected part is small compared to the other components, so the ground albedo is a second order input parameter. Author: Pr Lucien Wald, MINES ParisTech, March 2015.
1-axis solar tracker (East-West rotation, axis oriented North-South), you may specify:
- Plane tilt = -999
- Plane azimuth = 90 (is northern hemisphere) and ? (if southern hemisphere)
The tracking model in Helioclim-3 is very simple. It does not take into account limit angles or any "mechanical constraints". Every minutes, we simply compute the tilt or the azimuth (if 1-axis tracking) or both (if 2-axis tracking) that minimizes the angle between the sun direction and the panel normal. It's simple maths.Top of page

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Greg Monroe had 19 points, 18 rebounds and six assists to help the Detroit Pistons beat the Philadelphia 76ers 94-76 on Wednesday night for their first win of the season.
Kyle Singler scored 16 points, and Tayshaun Prince and Brandon Knight each scored 15 points for a Detroit (1-8) team off to its worst start in franchise history. Playing their seventh road game out of nine games this season, the Pistons controlled the lethargic Sixers from the opening tip.
Four Pistons starters scored in double digits and forward Jason Maxiell had eight points and 12 rebounds.
The Sixers easily played their worst game of the season, making only 25 of 84 shots, for 30 percent. Lavoy Allen led them with 14 points.

Hindustan Times
There are many things to enjoy in Dedh Ishqiya - starting with that curious name.
Director Abhishek Chaubey's new installment in the adventures of the lovable rogues - Khalujan and Babban - is rich in atmospherics and poetry.
Dedh Ishqiya
Direction: Abhishek Chaubey
Actors: Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi, Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Huma Qureshi
Rating: ***
There are nawabs, sher-o-shairi, and a courtly old-world romance but make no mistake, this is a twisted theatre of the absurd in which the gamut of human folly - greed, decadence, deceit, stupidity - is laid out for us. Once again, Abhishek and co-writer Vishal Bhardwaj find the vein of humour in the darkest situations, including a stand-off in which many guns are pointed at many heads.
Khalujan and Babban, played nicely by Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi, are petty thieves with such wit and charm that you want to hang out with them. These are honourable conmen, unafraid of punching, shooting, brandishing knives but when the ladies are in trouble, they come gallantly to the rescue. CRITICS' REVIEW
There is a superbly funny running gag about the stages of love and a gorgeous climactic shoot-out. Best of all, the film gives us women who are unapologetically scheming and lusty. They break all the rules and get away with it. It's wonderfully refreshing. And yet, Dedh Ishqiya doesn't have the seductive sparkle that Ishqiya did. In the first film, Babban referred to the heroine Krishna as a sutli bomb and desi tamancha.
The ladies here - Begum Para played by Madhuri Dixit-Nene and Muniya, played by Huma Qureshi - aren't as deliciously twisted though Madhuri is still compelling. The first half of the film is devoted to a swayamvar that Begum Para holds to choose a husband - the best poet wins the bride.
The construct feels artificial and the pacing is languid. I also struggled with the Urdu - it was melodious but I wish I understood more of it.
Still, Dedh Ishqiya is worth watching just for Abhishek Chaubey's ambition. He is not constrained by the demands of the box office. I am eager to see what trouble Khalujan and Babban will get into next.

pyralvex21 messages in this subject.
|suggetion: if you use pyralvex wash your hands before using it , paint it the ulcer and wait one minute and paint again, wait one minute more and paint... and dont it for 15 minutes so this will dry the problem..
do this 4 times a day... as this will dry it from the first day you use it try to remove the parts that WANT TO GET RELEASED.. SMOOTHLY AND WITHOUT FORCING with the same brush of PYRALVEX ... I have to do this because my ulcer is big... but if a small or medium one it will get out without any help.
I would suggest also to paint the ulcer after you wash or wet your lips (or face) to prevent any germen to get in... this is it.
I have faith in this product... and if you say that it doesnt work for you is because you were doing something wrong.
My family used this product like 30 years with plenty of satisfaction. You can bank on it!!!
Follow the steps and anything will be OK
|rocio 20 October 05
|I often get an ulcer on the end of my tongue, for no particular reason! I havent tried lysine but will give it a go. I swear by painting Pyralvex onto the affected area. A real tingling sensation occurs when you put it on but it is brilliant. My last bottle I bought was from Ibiza when I had an ulcer appear whilst on holiday. Planning to go to Boots and see if I can get any in England as I am running out.
|Annette 13 September 06
|Just bought some Pyralvex this week from a German pharmacy (used to use Bonjela in the UK) and have been using it maybe twice or three times a day...already it has really helped, ulcer (small) almost gone! :)
Think it is really fab, and so much easier using the brush than trying to put cream on (having to wash hands very thoroughly etc.). (twitter - theveganone)
|theveganone 4 October 10
|I have used Pyralvex for years and it's the best you can get! Works immediately!
|Sylvie 10 November 10
|If it's the regular canker sore, pyralvex works fine!
|patsy 14 November 10
|I used to use it when I lived in Hong Kong, it was easy to buy it there. Since returning to UK I can only buy it online. It is a wonderful product, used it on myself and my teenagers. Nothing works quite as well.
|Johanna 17 November 10
|where can i by this in ukraine
|Mohammad AbuAwwad 2 January 11
|I agree it does have an effect, but is not instant as the first poster suggests if you have huge regular ulcers on your tongue! I have consumed a bucketload of it and assume its ok to overdose as its base is the rhubarb root, so no harm done! Personally I find it stings like h..l, but seems to have a short-lived pain-relief effect.Definitelt recommended for small,or multiple ulcers!!
|Jacqui 2 January 11
|You can purchase pyralvex in UK at most chemists. Though not cheap. Been using for years - first found it in Thailand had tooth abcess and pharmacist recommended it. brilliant, it worked so have continued using it ever since for mouth ulcers and cold sores. usually takes 24/48 hrs to clear them.
|Lorraine 28 April 11
|I get Ulcers on my hard palate and it is so painful. I use Pyralvex, but I read it is only a pain reliever and not a cure. Is it true?
|Nemo 23 May 11
|Pyralvex is somehow a pain reliever as the active ingredients in it, anthraquinone and salicylic acid, have anti-inflammatory properties which reduce the swelling around the mouth ulcer. Less swelling, less pain. And it also has some antimicrobial effect which can help prevent infections. Pyralvex does sting a lot after application, but that should go away within a minute or two.
|J.Torres 25 November 11
|My family has been using Pyralvex since the 80's and It's very effective for mouth ulcers, intact I bit my lip and am currently using it. From.South Africa.
|Andre Steyn 16 June 12
|My daughter and I both suffer regularly from moth ulcers, she was given Pyralvex by a doctor while on holiday in Greece. She Brought one home for me to try as she was so impressed with the treatment it is the best holiday gift she could of ever brought me. I recoment you put it on as soon as you feel the start of an ulcer or cold sore put it on before and after meals .Hope I can get a replacement here in UK when it runs out, don't forget you should always get any soreness in your mouth that will not heal checked out by your doctor or dentist.
|Nain in Wales 16 March 13
|can pyralvex be used for alcers in the throat? can it heal tonsils in the throat? if so how do I apply it in the throat?
|kaliisa firstname.lastname@example.com 11 August 13
|Do not give to children or adolescents under the age of 16 years. This is because there is a possible link between salicylates and Reyes syndrome when given to children. Reyes syndrome is a very rare disease which affects the brain and liver and can be fatal.

|I have been using Pyralvex for a while now, and i found that it greatly helps in shortening the lifespan of the ulcer. It ofcousre stings when i first apply it but afterwards ahhhhhhh the relief. I usually apply it 3 to 4 times a day and twice during each application. Smaller ulcers heal in 2 days or 3 however big ones (like the one i currently have) take much longer, its been 4 days and the ulcer is as presistant as ever. I will wait for 3 more days to see how it goes.
when i brush my teeth i tend to gargle with Listerine ( it also stings when it comes in contact with the ulcer) so i have been using both pyralvex and listerine to combat this painful ulcer.

|I've found pyralvex by far the most effective mouth ulcer cure for your common easy to access mouth ulcer. Unfortunately I regularly get afflicted by ones in the holes where my tonsils used to be and the brush won't reach there!

|I am taking metronidazole tablets there antibiotics, and have a terrible mouth ulcer, can I use Pyralvex, as its says it has alchol in it, and your not supposed to take alchol, when on these antibiotics even in mouthwash, any body know for sure thanks
|Irene Thornton 4 March 18
|I am writing from Kenya. Pyralvex is the ONLY Solution I can truly say works for me. I have had mouth ulcers like 50 years ago when I was in my teens. No doctor can explain why. I can eat a had thing like sugarcane and once my mouth breaks a bit it leads to an ulcer whether I use salty water, different mouth wash or betadine solution no help. Once I tried Pyralvex though expensive I found relieve and cure. I recommend it always to my friends but informs them to confirm with a doctor they have no diabetes.
|Margaret Mutegi 26 August 18
|I stopped smoking 8 months ago despite getting mouth ulcers and sores. My son knows a medic who recommended using
Nicotine lozenges or gum on the sore.
I tried this and it works ! I tried other methods but nicotine micro tans or lozenges works very quickly and the sores go away.

BRUSSELS, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- The composite index for service and manufacturing business in the eurozone reached a two-year high in July, research firm Markit Economics reported Monday.
Markit said the figures indicate an economic recovery that is accelerating and an economy, overall, that is stabilizing.
The composite index came in at 50.5, just above the break-even point of 50, as it went into positive territory for the first time since January 2012.
The index came in a whisper above the flash index, which was set at 50.4.
The Eurozone Services Business Activity Index, new to the report, came in at 49.8, Markit said.
On the manufacturing side of the coin, business activity reached its highest level since June 2011 in July, Market said.
In the eurozone, Germany posted the highest composite index, a mark of 52.1, a five-month high. In Italy, the mark of 49.7 for July is a 17-month high. The index in France and Spain came to 49.1 and 48.6, respectively, a 17-month high for France and a 25-month high for Spain.
For July, the declining level of new business orders was the second slowest in two years. The pace of job losses, meanwhile, was the slowest in 16 months.
"Manufacturing is leading the way out of contraction, with some nations benefiting from improved export demand," said Markit Senior Economist Rob Dobson.
That said, "the real spark which will hopefully ignite the recovery are the increasing signs of stabilization in domestic markets."
Among the positive signs, "the labor market remains the main bugbear of the eurozone, as joblessness hurts growth and increases political and social tensions," Dobson said

Warm Scotland
Working our way up Applecross Pass on a lovely sunny day. Yup six dry and warm days in Scotland with no midges . What could possible be better?
Cracking tour to Morocco with 13 days in country. A few gravel roads just to get us to place the average tourist wouldn't see and some really nice roads. Fancy this in 2020?
Front shock change, how hard can it be?
OCD on the cleaning? No, just trying to change the front damper before Morocco. Turned out to be a bit of a challenge! Had to remove all the panels to remove the tank to get to the ESA plugs. Had to remove lower crash bars to allow A bar to drop lower, then remove rear wheel as I jacked up the front to allow the front wheel to continue to drop to provide the clearance required to remove the unit. Compress the spring a bit and eventually it comes out.

How Is the Government Shutdown Affecting You?
As you've probably heard, this morning the federal government shut down for the first time in 17 years. We're interested in how the shutdown has affected or will affect you.
A tipster sent us this photo of an empty Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington D.C. this morning. Have you found your commute a little easier (or harder)? Has your job been furloughed? Are you now required to show up to work without knowing when your next paycheck will arrive? Are your travel or vacation plans altered now that all federal parks and museums, including the Grand Canyon and the Smithsonian, are closed?
Tell us in the comments below. And if you'd like to discuss the shutdown in general, please visit our post from this morning.

Members in the Scrap Club asked if we could do a Quilt Along. So everyone can find the info easier and follow along without wading through all the Scrap Club entries here is a thread dedicated to the Quilt Along.
I will post a new quilt block each week and show you how the quilt block is made. Some will be my designs and some will be traditional quilt blocks or may be something I find online and I will give credit where it is due.
so come along and follow as we explore some ways to use scraps to make great looking quilt blocks!
this week's quilt block is one I use alot.
It uses my Boston Block shortcut.
You will need a 3 1/2" template to make this into a 12 1/2" quilt block.
a 4" template will make a 14 1/2" quilt block
and a 5" template would make an 18 1/2" quilt block
If you like the minis a 1 1/2" would make a 6 1/2" quilt block.
You can see below there are 8 Boston Blocks and 8 HSTs (half square triangles)
You will need to make sure you make what I call mirror blocks
Use up a lot of scraps making as many of these quilt blocks as you like! It is one of my favorites and I use it for alot of different projects. - quilts / table runners/ hotpads/ coin purses(in smaller form) etc

Good Partner
Fund: In-Q-Tel, Inc.
Posted by SixthTimeStartUp on 2009-05-05
We closed an investment with In-Q-Tel late in 2008, after a long courtship process (10+ months). After the decision was finally made to invest in us, though, everything has gone very smoothly. The terms & IP addendum were reasonable, and we've since developed a "work plan" with them (i.e. consulting work for one of their "customers") and it is proceeding smoothly. We are now exploring a follow-on work plan for later this year with another one of In-Q-Tel's "customers". Even though our main target is a commercial product, In-Q-Tel is a great partner to have, especially in an economy like this!PRIVATE: Members Only

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel has taken great pride in a recent BBC report regarding the Jewish state's genuine care for its enemies. The BBC is often seen as biased against Israel, but the report in question had nothing but good things to say about Israel over its selfless care for victims of the ongoing civil war in Syria, a nation still officially at war with Israel.
BBC Middle East correspondent Kevin Connolly visited Ziv Hospital in the northern Israel town of Safed and brought back a story of Syrians under fire whose lives were literally saved by their worst enemy.
Connolly interviewed a Syrian mother giving birth to her baby at the Israeli hospital after the clinic in her own village turned her away due to its inability to handle her case amidst the chaos of war. The child "will one day have quite a story to tell. That is, if his parents ever decide to tell him," noted Connolly. The woman was already in labor when she was turned away from her local clinic. "Her worried husband knew that it was possible to get her treated in Israel - and so the couple began a dangerous race to the frontier in a country at war and a desperate race against time," the reporter continued.
Like many before them, the anxious couple came to a point near the Israel-Syria border where they knew Israeli military patrols would see them. Shortly after, an Israeli military ambulance picked up the woman and transferred her on time to Ziv Hospital.
Connolly pointed out that the new mother "was the 177th person to make the journey to the emergency room in what has become one of the most extraordinary subplots of Syria's agonizing civil war."
The astonished correspondent explained that the phenomenon has become so common-place that an "informal system of patient transfer has become so well-established that some patients have even arrived with letters of referral written by doctors in Syria for their Israeli counterparts."
The director of Ziv Hospital, Dr. Oscar Embon, told the BBC that he hoped the experience of the Syrian patients would be different from what they had been raised to believe about Israel. "Most of them express their gratitude and their wish for peace between the two countries," said Embon.
Of course, decades of indoctrination are hard to reverse in just a few short days or weeks. Embon said he doesn't "expect [the Syrian patients] to become lovers of Israel and ambassadors for what we do here, but in the interim I expect they will reflect on what was their experience here and that they will reflect differently on what the regime tells them about Israelis and Syrians being enemies."
Connolly went on to write about the compelling human dramas taking place in the hospital.
"Most of the patients…won't talk about what they have been through - they are too frightened about what would happen to them back in Syria if it emerged they had been to Israel," he noted.
One person who was ready to talk was an Israeli Arab social worker who identified himself as Faris, whose job it was to calm the disoriented Syrian visitors, many of whom come to only to find themselves being treated in an enemy state they have been taught is a bloodthirsty foe to all Arabs.
Faris' job is perhaps the most difficult of all at Ziv Hospital. In addition to having to explain a complicated situation, he also must eventually say goodbye to people with whom he has formed a strong bond, knowing that he will never see them again.
"When people come here for two months," Faris told Connolly, "a relationship starts between you and them and becomes stronger. Then they go home and the sad thing is you can't be in contact with them because their villages are 'enemy' villages."
As word of the outstanding and unexpected medical care in Israel spreads, Connolly is certain that more and more Syrians will make their way to the border. Especially as Syrians gradually learn that the Jews of Israel mean them no harm.

Washington Times reporter wrote commentary accusing Kerry of proposing tax plan with loophole for wife's family
A May 3 Washington Times "Commentary [1]" by nationally syndicated columnist Donald Lambro -- who doubles as the Times' chief political correspondent, reporting on Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign -- quoted economist Kevin Hassett, of the conservative American Enterprise Institute, in accusing Kerry of developing a tax plan that carves out a loophole for companies such as H.J. Heinz, in which Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, and her family own stock. Lambro paraphrased Hassett, who alleged that the plan -- providing for the taxation of profits corporations earn overseas in order to keep more jobs at home -- includes "a loophole designed to give billions of dollars in tax breaks to [a] few companies," which Hassett said, according to Lambro, "saves Mr. Kerry's family around $33 million."
However, as Slate.com's Timothy Noah explained in an April 15 Chatterbox [2] item, Hassett's argument is "doubtful":
Gene Sperling, former chief of President Clinton's National Economic Council and now a senior economic adviser to the Kerry campaign, told Chatterbox the actual motive behind the exemption is to avoid punishing United States companies that are "trying to penetrate the emerging markets in the world." There's also the question of simple fairness; you can't reasonably argue that overseas workers serving a host country displace workers in the United States. There's no way, for instance, that American-based workers can help an American hotel chain penetrate the market in Tahiti unless they pack up and move to Tahiti.
In addition, Noah reported that Hassett, who is best known for writing the book Dow 36,000: A New Strategy For Profiting From the Coming Rise in the Stock Market [3] just before the Internet stock bubble burst, was seeking "payback" against Kerry for using Hassett's concession that "the U.S. tax code definitely provides a strong incentive for sending jobs overseas" in his issue paper on eliminating tax deferral.
Lambro's "Commentary" quoted two other economists -- both from the conservative Cato Institute -- criticizing the Kerry plan: "Kerry's plan is the equivalent of a national economic suicide," Reynolds told Lambro.

|Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide
10g Release 1 (10.1)
Part Number B10734-01
|View PDF
This chapter gives detailed instructions for starting the Recovery Manager (RMAN) command-line interface and making database connections. This chapter contains these topics:
You can start RMAN at the operating system command line without connecting to a database by issuing the
RMAN command without any arguments. For example, enter:
% rman
If you did not specify the
SCRIPT or
@ option at the command line, then RMAN displays the RMAN prompt:
After the RMAN prompt is displayed, you can issue further commands to connect to the target database, recovery catalog database, or auxiliary database.
If you start RMAN without specifying either
CATALOG or
NOCATALOG on the command line, then RMAN makes no recovery catalog connection. The first time a command is issued that requires the RMAN repository, RMAN performs the operation in NOCATALOG mode if you have not connected to a recovery catalog yet. After that point, the
CATALOG command can no longer be used without exiting and restarting the RMAN client.
The following examples use the following sample connection data, and assume that a recovery catalog is being used.
User with
The password for connecting as
The net service name for the target database
User that owns the recovery catalog schema. This is a user defined in the recovery catalog database that has been granted the
The password for connecting to the recovery catalog as user RMAN
The net service name for the recovery catalog database
You can specify either operating system or Oracle Net authentication information on the command line when you start the RMAN client.
This example shows how to use operating system authentication to connect to the target database and Oracle Net authentication for the recovery catalog:
% rman TARGET / CATALOG rman/cat@catdb
This example shows how to use Oracle Net authentication to connect to both the target database and the recovery catalog:
% rman TARGET SYS/oracle@trgt CATALOG rman/cat@catdb
You can also start RMAN and connect to the target database from the RMAN prompt. The following example uses operating system authentication for the target database and Oracle Net authentication for the recovery catalog:
% rman RMAN> CONNECT TARGET / RMAN> CONNECT CATALOG rman/cat@catdb
The following example uses Oracle Net password file authentication for the target database, which requires that the target database be using a password file, that defines the password for user SYS to be 'oracle'. Oracle Net authentication is also used for the recovery catalog.
% rman RMAN> CONNECT TARGET SYS/oracle@trgt RMAN> CONNECT CATALOG rman/cat@catdb
|See Also:
Oracle Real Application Clusters Administrator's Guide for details on connecting RMAN to a RAC cluster.
To use the
DUPLICATE command, you need to connect to an auxiliary instance. To perform RMAN TSPITR, you may also need to connect to an auxiliary instance if, for example, you do not let RMAN manage the auxiliary instance for you.
|See Also:
If the auxiliary instance uses a password file for authentication, then you can connect using a password for either local or remote access. If you are connecting remotely through a net service name, then authentication through a password file is mandatory.
The following dummy values have been substituted into the following examples:
The password for connecting as
The net service name for the auxiliary database
To launch RMAN connected to an auxiliary instance from the operating system command line, enter the following:
% rman AUXILIARY SYS/aux@auxdb
To connect to target, auxiliary, and recovery catalog databases, launch the RMAN client with these command line arguments:
% rman TARGET SYS/oracle@trgt AUXILIARY SYS/aux@auxdb CATALOG rman/cat@catdb
To launch RMAN without connecting to an auxiliary, and connect to the auxiliary database from the RMAN prompt, enter the following commands:
% rman RMAN> CONNECT AUXILIARY SYS/aux@auxdb
To connect to the target, auxiliary, and recovery catalog databases from within RMAN, enter the following commands:
% rman RMAN> CONNECT TARGET SYS/oracle@trgt RMAN> CONNECT CATALOG rman/cat@catdb RMAN> CONNECT AUXILIARY SYS/aux@auxdb
When diagnosing errors RMAN encounters in connecting to the target, catalog and auxiliary databases, using SQL*Plus to connect to the databases directly can reveal underlying problems with the connection information or the databases.
RMAN always connects to target and auxiliary databases using the SYSDBA role. Thus, when using SQL*Plus to diagnose connection problems to the target or auxiliary databases, request a SYSDBA connection to reproduce RMAN's behavior.
For example, if the following RMAN command encountered connection errors:
RMAN> CONNECT target sys/oracle@target
you would reproduce the connection attempt with the SQL*Plus command:
SQL> CONNECT sys/oracle@target AS SYSDBA
When RMAN connects to the recovery catalog database, it does not use the SYSDBA role. So, when you are using SQL*Plus to diagnose connection problems to the recovery catalog database, you must enter the catalog connect string exactly as it was entered into RMAN. Do not also specify AS SYSDBA.
If you create an RMAN command file which uses a CONNECT command with database level credentials (user name and password), then anyone with read access to this file can learn the password. There is no secure way to incorporate a
CONNECT string with a password into a command file.
It is also possible, using the
ps command under Unix or some similar command under other operating systems, to view command lines and arguments entered into the shell or other host operating system command line interpreter. Therefore, it is risky to invoke RMAN with a command line like this example:
% rman TARGET sys/oracle@target
To connect to RMAN from the operating system command line and hide authentication information, you can start RMAN without connecting to databases, and then enter
CONNECT commands at the RMAN prompt. You can also start RMAN without a password in the connect string, as in this example:
% rman TARGET sys@target
RMAN will prompt for a password in such a case.
If you create an RMAN command file which uses a CONNECT command that includes authentication information, RMAN does not echo the connect string when you run the command file with the "@" command. This prevents connect strings from appearing in any log files that contain RMAN output.
For example, create a command file
listbkup.rman which reads:
CONNECT target sys/oracle@target LIST BACKUP;
Then execute this script by running RMAN with the @ command line option:
% rman @bkup.rman
When the command file executes, RMAN replaces the connection string with an asterisk, as shown in the following output:
Recovery Manager: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production Copyright (c) 1995, 2003, Oracle. All rights reserved. RMAN> connect target * 2> list backup; 3> connected to target database: RDBMS (DBID=771530996) using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog List of Backup Sets =================== ...rest of output omitted
If you specify the
LOG option at the command line, then RMAN displays command input but does not display the RMAN output. The easiest way to send RMAN output both to a log file and to standard output is to use the UNIX
tee command or its equivalent on another operating system. For example:
% rman | tee rman.log RMAN>
In this way, both input and output are visible within the RMAN command-line interface.
The RMAN pipe interface is an alternative method for issuing commands to RMAN and receiving the output. By using a pipe, RMAN can interface with the
DBMS_PIPE PL/SQL package and avoid the operating system command shell altogether.
If the pipes are not already initialized, then RMAN creates them as private pipes. If you want to put commands on the input pipe before starting RMAN, be careful to first create the pipe by calling
DBMS_PIPE.CREATE_PIPE. Whenever a pipe is not explicitly created as a private pipe, the first access to the pipe automatically creates it as a public pipe, and RMAN returns an error if it is told to use a public pipe.
RMAN does not permit the pipe interface to be used with public pipes, because they are a potential security problem. With a public pipe, any user who knows the name of the pipe can send commands to RMAN and intercept its output.
If multiple RMAN sessions can run against the target database, then use unique pipe names for each session of RMAN. The
This scenario assumes that the application controlling RMAN wants to run multiple commands in succession. After each command is sent down the pipe and executed and the output returned, RMAN will pause and wait for the next command.
PIPE option. For example, issue:
% rman PIPE abc TARGET SYS/oracle @trgt
You can also specify the
TIMEOUT option, which forces RMAN to exit automatically if it does not receive any input from the input pipe in the specified number of seconds. For example, enter:
% rman PIPE abc TARGET SYS/oracle@trgt TIMEOUT = 60
DBMS_PIPE.PACK_MESSAGE and
DBMS_PIPE.SEND_MESSAGE. In pipe mode, RMAN issues message
RMAN-00572 when it is ready to accept input instead of displaying the standard RMAN prompt.
DBMS_PIPE.RECEIVE_MESSAGE and
TIMEOUT option when starting RMAN, RMAN terminates automatically after not receiving any input for the specified length of time. To force RMAN to terminate immediately, send the
EXIT command.
This scenario assumes that the application controlling RMAN wants to run one or more commands as a single job. After running the commands that are on the pipe, RMAN will exit.
RMAN-00572 when it is ready to accept input instead of displaying the standard RMAN prompt.

Two years ago, Adam Laucis looked in the mirror and didn't like what he saw. After a lifetime of asthma medications, poor diet and lack of exercise, the 25-year-old Medford man had ballooned to 340 pounds.All that weight made his asthma and other physical problems worse, but just as bad was the anchor it attached to his confidence, which was at an all-time low. The first inspiration for his turnaround came when Laucis' cousin returned from a successful stint at a weight-loss camp. "I thought if she could do it, I could too," says Laucis. His first step was to join a gym -- Oz Fitness -- in late 2010 and start eating better. But his personal breakthrough came a few months later when somebody told him about Crossfit, a high-intensity strength and conditioning program that focuses on functional fitness and constantly changing workouts. He joined Rogue Valley Crossfit, at 3001 Samike Dr., in Medford, one of several Crossfit gyms in Southern Oregon, and went from a beginner with little self-esteem to a coach who now helps lead classes. "Crossfit has changed my life," says Laucis, the business manager at K&B Auto Complex in Medford. "It's made a world of difference. My self-confidence and self-esteem have risen, and being a teacher makes me want to be a better person," says Laucis, who at 6-feet-1 now tips the scales at a muscular 217 pounds. "Adam's confidence was low when he started here," says Jake Porras, who founded Rogue Valley Crossfit in 2011. "Usually people who are little heavier tend to be a little intimidated when they start, but Adam took to the approach and found something he was good at -- double-unders," a rope-skipping drill in which the rope passes under the feet twice for every jump. "He's now by far the best at that in the gym," Porras says. "It's made me a totally different person," Laucis says. "I went to Mexico with my aunt last year, and they went ziplining. I thought, 'I can do that.' I never would have thought that before because of my weight." Laucis now works out every day, he says, "and the days I don't feel like working out are usually the days I need to. I push myself out of my comfort zone. That's when you really feel your muscles working." While it's not a requirement of the Crossfit approach, Porras, a former mixed-martial arts coach, encourages gym members to follow the Paleo approach to eating -- sometimes called the Caveman Diet -- which stresses high-quality proteins and lots of fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts, with little to no starches, grains, added sugars or processed foods. "As clean as possible," says Porras. Laucis is now a proponent of the diet, as well as a fan of the functional fitness approach he learned at Crossfit. "With functional fitness, everything we do connects to something we do in everyday life," he says. "Like when we do squats, it's the same muscles we use when sitting down and getting up out of a chair. With that movement, you're doing it on your heels. "When we're doing a power clean and pushing the weights overhead, we're teaching people how to do that movement properly without hurting yourself, like lifting dishes overhead and putting them in a cupboard ... or like a woman in her 70s who can lift her 3-year-old grandson." Laucis' aunt, Karrie Kay of Medford, says the changes she's seen in her nephew since he started Crossfit go beyond his eating habits, muscle mass or weight. "He's not even the same person," she says. "His mind and his level of compassion have changed. He really looks for ways to help people, and it just kills him when he sees overweight kids, because he remembers what that was like," she says. "When he was at North Medford (High School)," she says, "he used to skip class a lot because he was too embarrassed to go to school because he couldn't fit in the seats."
At family gatherings, he rarely joined in physical activities such as swimming because he was too embarrassed to take his shirt off, she recalls."It can't be fun to watch your friends and family do things and know you can't join in because you're so embarrassed with your body," she says. But all that has changed for Laucis, who is planning another vacation to Mexico this summer. "I plan to go parasailing in Puerto Vallarta, which is another thing I never would have done," he says. Porras says he's familiar with the kind of changes Laucis has gone through. "We've got members who were on blood pressure and other medications who don't need them anymore, who are doing things in life they weren't doing before, like hiking Table Rock with their kids or whatever it might be."

Strip 3/4" - Bright Green
These SitSpots strips are the perfect solution to managing students . Use them on carpeting to provide children with a visual cue for sitting marks, standing in a line or waiting their turn. They're also great for making 10 Frames! Students love these brightly colored strips and they compliment classroom decors beautifully.
For greater savings, all strips are sold by the yard, and will arrive in one long uncut section depending upon how many yards are ordered. For example - if you order 4 yards of black, you'll receive one strip of black that will be 4 yards long. You can then cut this into whatever length is needed.
SitSpots are compatible with most carpeting (but not all) and can be safely vacuumed over without disturbing them if they adhere properly to your carpeting.

SOCORRO, N.M., May 7, 2002 -- Two New Mexico Tech geoscientists present talks at the 54th annual meeting of the Rocky Mountain Section of the Geological Society of America, held in Cedar City, Utah.
Shari Kelley, an adjunct professor of geology at New Mexico Tech, and Tech graduate student Scott Lynch gave presentations on their current research studies at the annual convention of more than 400 geoscientists.
Kelly's presentation, "Cretaceous Shales and Their Influence on Denudation Estimates for the Southwestern United States," uses reconstructions of stratigraphic sections in the Grand Canyon, Colorado's Front Range, and the northern section of New Mexico's Rio Grande rift to illustrate the influence of lithology on the geometry of paleo-isotherms.
Lynch's presentation, "Geology of the Central San Mateo Mountains, New Mexico," determines rock distribution and stratigraphy, makes correlations with rocks mapped elsewhere in the Mogollon-Datil volcanic field, and establishes the timing of eruptive events in southwestern New Mexico's San Mateo Mountains.

Since they did a Forestman and a couple of other homage figures in earlier sets, I just assumed the Evil Knight had a blank torso because it was an homage to the Evil Knight in the Royal Castle set. That guy had a blank torso and similar breastplate, black trimmed in gold. His helmet is pretty much the same design, too.
My Evil Knight's shield has a bright enough boar -- it looks pretty cool. Also got an Inca Warrior and a Viking (I have a soft spot for minifigures with bladed weapons!), Little Red Riding Hood (makes a great peasant child), and a Monkey Boy, mainly for his torso and two knives.
I think they did a great job with this set -- looking forward to seeing the next batch!

Odds and Ends
Jerry Jones really needs to learn how to filter his comments to the media. He went out a second guessed Garrett's conservative calls late in the Patriots game to several reporters. It doesn't matter how he phrased it or what he really meant. The media is going to take any sound bite they can get and run with it. Jerry has every right to question his head coach but he needs to do it face to face and leave the media out of it.
I was very surprised to see that Dwayne Harris was cut today to make room for another offensive lineman since Bill Nagy was lost for the season with a broken ankle. Hopefully he will clear waivers and make it to the practice squad. He seems to have a lot of potential long term and I would hate to see him go flourish somewhere else in a slot receiver role like Danny Amendola with the Rams. I'm curious to see how the punt return duties will shake out now that the primary punt returner is gone.
Felix Jones is out for 2-4 weeks with an ankle sprain. It certainly isn't a devastating injury but it does hurt the offense. Demarco Murray did a good job filling in on Sunday but he lacks the explosiveness that Felix Jones gives the offense. Felix's injury probably saved Tashard Choice from being traded prior to the trade deadline.
The Cowboys are extremely fortunate that no team is running away with the NFC East this year. Normally a 2-3 record would mean you were in a very deep hole but the Cowboys are still very much in the mix in the NFC East. I think the Eagles and the Cowboys will end up being the top 2 teams in the division by the end of the season.
You certainly can't call the Rams game a trap game this week. Sure, the Cowboys are expected to not only beat the Rams but to do it in convincing fashion especially now that it looks like Sam Bradford will miss the game. I just don't think you can have a trap game when you are 2-3. Trap games are reserved for teams that have been winning games and can afford to take an opponent lightly. That isn't the Cowboys.
I don't want to be negative about the Cowboys but it is time for them to start winning these close games down the stretch. It is great to be competitive in every game against even the top levels of competition. But that becomes meaningless if you can't start coming away with victories in those situations.

There is a difference in being conservative with a 24 point lead and there is a different in being aggressive holding a 3 point lead knowing that if you give Brady 2 minutes, he will score and win the game.ReplyDelete
Not to mention the fact that we are going to try a shovel pass on 3rd and goal when we have 3 receivers (Austin, Bryant, Witten) who are more than capable to score, let alone Bryant who was covered with a single cornerback. Nevermind the fact that the Cowboys can't run if their life depended on it and while Garrett is being conservative toward the end, New England knew this a stacked the box with run stoppers, but yet, we run anyway and only run off less than one minute of game clock.
Talk about stupid play calling. Jason Garrett is a hack of an OC. He has had 5 years to get things right and with the talent this team has had these past 5 years, he should be reveling in wins...but yet his record is not that good. Why? Because he can't game plan at all.
Want to see a real coach do a good job? Look no further than Rob Ryan. Rob Ryan came in on a work stoppage season. Didn't even get to see his players until shortly before the preseason, has installed a pretty aggressive defense, and look at them. top defense in the league? Thats how you do it.
Jason should've been fired with Wade.

"The reality is that if they had won either or both games with the exact same play calling sequence we wouldn't be hearing a peep about it."ReplyDelete
But the reality is that they lost both of the games. And should have won both of the games. It was the wrong play calling in both games, plain and simple, and that's what cost us the games. I'm doubting they can get the job done with Garrett. But I still place some of the blame on Romo. Just not seeing the improvement you would expect from someone of his caliber. Other quarterbacks have passed him by. I used to think he was an elite quarterback but as time passes, I don't think he is.

The dynamics of the Chinese economy continue to be a mystery to most people.
One thing the world assumed about China was that wealth was distributed pretty uniformly among the population with some outliers.
However, a new survey of over 8,000 households conducted by Professor Li Gan of the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics showed that wealth distribution was much more skewed than we thought.
Gan found that 10 percent of households control 86.7 percent of total wealth, 84.6 percent of total household assets, 74.9 percent of savings, and 57 percent of total disposable income.
"Perhaps the key conclusion is that the skewed wealth distribution highlights one reason for China's continuing high savings rate," wrote CLSA analyst Chris Wood via ValueWalk. "This is that poor households do not have the means to consume while, as in the West, the rich have already maxed out on their consumption."

If you have or know a solar project, please submit it to us for consideration as a featured project using Submit an Item. http://www.solaripedia.com/302/submit-an-item.html
This 1750-square-foot, off-the-grid residence in the California Gold Country, outside the town of Murphys, was designed as a summer and winter vacation house for a San Francisco couple with two young children. The green building is divided into "live" and "sleep" buildings, each about 875 square feet, which are sited to capture views. The gap between the wings funnels breezes from the valley below. The courtyard is a calm, encompassing space for relaxation and play.
The house is remotely sited, quite far from the local utility grid. Satellite internet access allows the couple to telecommute when desired and spend longer periods of time in the country.
CCS Architecture designed the sustainability program in collaboration with the client. The features include:
• Structural slabs contain radiant heat
• Large overhangs that provide maximum shade in summer and allow passive heat gain and daylight during winter
• Windows and skylights with insulated, low-e glass; all are operable to admit maximum air ventilation during the summer for cooling. Opened at night, the windows allow cooler air to push heat out of the house. They are closed during the day to keep the house cool.
• The home's walls and roof are structurally insulated panels (SIPs), which not only are "structural" but have high insulative value, significantly higher than conventional construction.
• Larger, north-facing windows that provide maximum daylight without heat gain during summer; large southern overhangs minimize heat gain.
• Overhangs and arbor roofs have foil backing to reflect hot summer sun and also have solar vent fan to vent heat, keeping open exterior space underneath cool
• Energy provided by 24 PV panels with battery storage and backup propane generator, installed by Sol Sierra Inc. • Heating is provided by a hydronic radiant heat system when needed (powered by propane boiler) and by one high-efficiency wood burning stove in the "live" building
• Water is obtained through an on-site well-–pumped uphill to storage tank by photovoltaics and gravity-fed to house
• Siding and underside of soffits is natural cedar with penetrating oil
• Paints are low VOC and flooring material is polished concrete with rugs

To live without story is unbearable. We crave narrative. Now these stories may not always be fully conscious, or necessarily admirable. But in retrospect we will (sometimes sheepishly so) nod our head. Yes, I really am living out this or that story, usually about what it means to be successful or happy.
Often we are running, sometimes quite literally, after storied dreams to prove ourselves in front of an imaginary (yet unusually tough) audience. See, I can argue intelligently for an environmental cause; I can be beautiful, talented and funny to attract a mate; I can work hard to finish this degree or be accepted into this job. Most of the stories we end up living have an individualistic tone, and a narrow, competitive focus. We benefit from them, even thrive in them for a while, but what happens in a crunch? And how do these personal stories affect others? (I like to think my perfectionism is about living to a more 'noble' standard of excellence, but try telling that to my family and friends who know me best!)
What would it mean to tap into the larger, more life-giving stories found in Scripture? We used to think that if we believed the right things with the right amount of intensity we'd be okay. But Scripture is incredibly narrative-based; propositions just won't do anymore. Yet the question remains: can we find Scripture's stories in our own often mundane lives? In studying Scripture in Watershed the past few years we've learned that Scriptural characters are exceedingly human, and a lot more like ourselves than we ever dared to believe. David was a 'man after God's own heart' but he was also very flawed, even a beast! Jesus' disciples spread the news of the gospel far and wide, but has there ever been a more bumbling, 'not getting it' group of students anywhere?
What if we scratched away at our personal and group experiences today and saw Scriptural-like narratives coming alive? Stories (even little ones) about slavery moving towards freedom, barrenness retreating to reveal fruition, illness and despair yielding to healing and understanding. If our attention is diverted from personal dream-seeking to a different upside-down frequency, something opens up and more faith-engendering stories can be told. Scripture-like stories of child-like faith being exercised in the consumerist desert of modern living grab can hold of us. Stories of outsiders down the street knowing more about who Jesus really is than religious experts opens our hearts to new possibilities. What if growing our faith was not at all about 'trying harder' but allowing the Spirit to open our eyes so we could see what was happening in the middle of our busy, self-absorbed existences?
When our emotional attachments to some personalistic story trips us up, we can acknowledge, without shame, we've become the 'rich young ruler' in the Gospels turning away from Jesus in despair. Yet when we cry out to God and others in our difficulties, isn't it extraordinary how God often responds with signs of accompaniment and love, even joy? We are like, if not become, the desparate blind man who asked Jesus for sight and his eyes are opened. I think and hope it is true: When we are free enough to tell stories of God's faithfulness amidst our gnawing doubt, others are encouraged, including us - storytellers in a new key.
"And the blind man said to him, 'Rabbi, let me recover my sight.' And Jesus said to him, 'Go your way; your faith has made you well.' And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way" (Mark 10: 51-52).

Penny Smith interviewing David McVicar and Antonio Pappano at an ROH Insights session © Sim Canetty-Clarke/ROH 2012
Director David McVicar and Music Director of The Royal Opera Antonio Pappano recently took time out of rehearsals for Les Troyens to give an ROH Insights audience a preview of their hotly-anticipated new work.
Introducing the Royal Opera staging, newly-knighted David McVicar told interviewer Penny Smith that directing the piece was an honour. The director discussed the reasons for setting the action to the 1800s, as well as hinting at how the production will look. Creating set and props for Les Troyens is an undertaking that has challenged the Props Department and stage crews. Watch an extract in which David and Antonio preview the production:
Also at the event, Antonio Pappano led the audience in an exploration of Berlioz's score, about which David McVicar remarked, "once you get into this score, it's not just an obsession; but a mission". Accompanied by pianist Mark Packwood, Maestro Pappano conducted singers Bryan Hymel (Énée) and Alexandra Deshorties (Cassandra) through a number of extracts from the work, exploring the characters of the two roles. Watch an extract examining the score:
Les Troyens runs from 25 June - 11 July.

Chris Brown's Bodyguard Suing Drake Over Infamous Brawl
The fallout from the Chris Brown and Drake brawl back in June of 2012 is, seemingly, never-ending. The lawsuits stemming from this scuffle could singlehandedly fund a law firm on their own.
This time Breezy's bodyguard, Pat Sutherland, is the latest to sue following the club melee -- and, according to The Daily News, he's got his sights set on Drizzy and the nightclub W.i.P.
Sutherland, who is suing for an undisclosed amount, says he received "severe and disfiguring injuries to his face, head and eyes," as a result of the fight, which is clearly evidenced by the nasty gash he has across his forehead.
The big burly Sutherland seems to be using his lawsuit as a means to a personal attack on Drake calling the rapper, "a popular and successful, albeit critically derided, entertainer." Ha! You mean to say the guy who pays your salary, Chris Brown, isn't in the crosshairs of critics all over the world, even though he's had a very successful music career? The saying, "If you live in a glass house, you shouldn't throw stones," is coming to mind here.
The bodyguard apparently didn't really care for the nightclub's feng shui either saying the seating arrangements posed, "a substantial and unjustifiable risk that a mass altercation would occur between the two camps." Okay, or said camps could have acted like grown ups and, ya know, not thrown bottles at each other?

Most of the time there are any number of ways to accomplish the same effect. Those of you who do not have a version of Photoshop with 3D, or do not have 3D capabilities, this great tutorial from Artorius Design shows you how to do it in most other programs! Artorius writes :
This tutorial will teach you how to create and style a 3D text in Adobe Photoshop. Using this tutorial you will learn not only how to create great looking 3D texts in Photoshop but also any kind of 3D object. Works with any Photoshop version.
Following this tutorial, you will have full control over the results – specially the perspective angle and height of the text. You can also check out the PSD file included to see the how the 3D text looks and take a look at the Blending Options.
What is to know first?
This tutorial is intended for those not having a version of Photoshop with 3D features. (the last extended ones). So basically, the result will be a 2D image that will look like a 3D one.
STEP 1 – Creating The Text, Adding The Perspective
We're going to start by making a new document, 1024×768, 72 dpi. Here we're going to make a text layer. Black to be visible on the white background, but the color doesn't really matter as we're going to change it later. An Arial Bold, 180 pt size would be good. My text has a tracking of 100, so there's a little space between the letters, but that's not important either.
Now we will add a perspective look to the text so that it will look like standing on a flat surface. First we must rasterize the text layer. Right-click on the text layer in the layers panel and select Rasterize type.
The text is not going to be editable now, but we are able to add perspective to it. Go to Edit – Transform – Perspective. A container for the text will appear. Click on the left corner (or right one) and while holding the click button, drag it inside, towards the center, until you see a H: angle value of around 40 in the transform toolbar.
Then, without hitting Enter or Ok, go again to Edit – Transform and select Scale. Now, click on the upper middle control point and drag it down until the H: value is around 60%. Hit enter or the ok button.
Now give the text 3D Styling ...
... continues on the next page!

The Spiritual Atheist..
If the purpose of speech is to convey a message. And an atheist calls himself spiritual. Isn't that person misrepresenting himself by using a word that is most largely viewed to be synonymous with "soul"? Even if he himself has his own unique meaning for it (which takes a 5 minute video to understand)
Let's be honest most people hear the word spirit and think soul.. don't they?
It seems like a way of justifying for no reason. If there is a lack of a better word... make a new one. To me I find that people are kind of ridiculed or perceived in a derogatory way if they admit or "come out" with believing they do not have a soul. Like you are somehow less of a person, lacking mystery, etc.. So when someone tries to find a convoluted means of explaining why they call themselves "spiritual". I feel that they are pandering to this unfortunate misperception.

^ perfect.
Unseen, a soul isn't a spirit according to the Bible. Plato, quoting Socrates said: "The soul, . . . if it departs pure, dragging with it nothing of the body, . . . goes away into that which is like itself, into the invisible, divine, immortal, and wise, and when it arrives there it is happy, freed from error and folly and fear . . . and all the other human ills, and . . . lives in truth through all after time with the gods." - Phaedo, 80, D, E; 81, A.
The Bible says the soul simply dies. Ezekiel 18:4.
If the soul dies then it does not go to Heaven. What of Heaven, then? the afterlife?
The meek shall inherit what and live forever upon it? Not heaven. The Earth, according to the Bible, was made for man and heaven was made for spirit beings. People like to think heaven is as good as it gets, whatever you like is heaven, but that is nonsense. I sure wouldn't want to go to heaven.
A few, numbered 144, 000 will go to heaven after death to be judges with Christ Jesus in heaven. They will be in spirit form, for flesh and blood can't inherit Heaven. The reason for this is that Christ and Jehovah God have no intimate knowledge of what it is like to have lived in sin, so it wouldn't be fair for them to judge the sinners alone.
Interestingly, since sin = death then upon death we are acquitted of our sins. (Romans 6:7) so the alleged immortal soul couldn't be tormented in hell forever either. Religious bullshit, all of that.
RE: "Jehovah God (has) no intimate knowledge of what it is like to have lived in sin, so it wouldn't be fair for them to judge the sinners alone"
A man and woman disobey him, and their unborn descendants are punished forever? When did your "Jehova God" ever worry about what was fair?
I think people forget that Christianity is a monarchy. Terms like "King of Kings," "Lord," "Prince of Peace," etc., make that clear. I'm always amazed that Christians, in the age of Democracy, don't find that just a little odd.
But then you're also amazed by shiny objects, so --
Plato and Socrates were guessing. Ezekiel 18:4 is more guessing. And I imagine, David, that you know of many other guesses. You may even be guessing something yourself. Just because something was written down, doesn't mean it suddenly becomes fact.
I really don't need anyone to guess for me, but thanks anyway.
Dragotron, No. If the meaning of the word is different, even though the word is the same, the application isn't. So if I say I'm gay it either means that I'm homosexual or I'm happy. Queer is either homosexual or unusual.
However, if you mean that given the context, the meaning could differ, of course.
