HOUMA � No matter how the runoff elections for seats in the state Legislature turn out, new interest group Blueprint Louisiana will have a majority of supporters in both houses.
Blueprint Louisiana is a self-proclaimed nonpartisan group of business representatives who�ve laid out five key issues -- ethics, education, workforce training, health care and transportation -- and have asked candidates to sign on to their plan to pass laws in the 2008 legislative session.
After the Oct. 20 elections, candidates who had endorsed the plan included winners of 23 seats in the state Senate and 45 seats in the House.
Among lawmakers representing Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, these signed on to the Blueprint agenda: state Sens. Reggie Dupre, D-Bourg; Joel Chaisson II, D-Destrehan; and Butch Gautreaux, D-Morgan City; and state Reps. Gordon Dove, R-Houma, and Damon Baldone, D-Houma.
An additional 71 legislative candidates who have agreed to support Blueprint advanced to the Nov. 17 runoffs.
In eight of the 10 Senate runoff races, both candidates have pledged support to Blueprint, giving the group at least 31 of 39 seats in the Senate, or 79 percent.
In 19 of the 40 runoff elections for the House, both candidates have signed on to the Blueprint agenda. That gives Blueprint at least 64 seats of support, or 61 percent. The House has 105 seats.
Both runoff candidates for House District 51, Democratic incumbent Carla Dartez of Morgan City and Joe Harrison, a Napoleonville Republican, have supported the group. House District 55 also has Blueprint supporters in its runoff: Democrat Mike Matherne of Thibodaux and Jerome �Dee� Richard, who has no party affiliation, also of Thibodaux.
�It�s truly a historic result that so many elected leaders and citizens agree on key priorities for the state,� said Blueprint Chairman Matt Suller in a news release last week. �We have a realistic opportunity next year to work with new lawmakers, the new administration and citizens to begin to create the state we deserve.�
To make change and draft laws during next year�s legislative session may prove more difficult than rallying support for the five Blueprint issues, however.
�I think they want to do what�s good for Louisiana. Having said that, it�s difficult to move from an agreed-upon principle to legislation. As they say, the devil is in the details,� said John Baker, a criminal and constitution law professor at Louisiana State University�s law school.
State Rep. Loulan Pitre, R-Cut Off, who did not run for re-election this fall, agreed that promising something and actually passing legislation are two things.
Baldone agreed, adding that change also takes money.
�How are you going to fund it? A lot of these citizen organizations have great ideas but don�t come down to the funding part,� Baldone said. �That�s another concern I voiced. I think they�re working on it.�
As a private group, Blueprint has several areas of influence over legislators. They can be a constant presence, reminding legislators what they signed on to. And the group will put out scorecards on how legislators vote, another form of influence that people pay attention to, Baldone said.
But at the same time, if a Blueprint-backed law comes up for a vote and he disagrees with it, Baldone said he�ll vote on his own.
�I�m going to do what�s best for Houma. It may be in opposition to Blueprint Louisiana,� Baldone said.
Dupre said he also has concerns about Blueprint�s steps toward health-care reform. The group advocates redirecting state money from facilities to people, so that the money follows the patients as they chose which hospitals to use.
�Health-care reform is a general term,� Dupre said. �I do not support shutting down or losing the LSU hospitals.� One of those includes Chabert Medical Center in Houma.
Though many local legislators had concerns about some of Blueprint�s key issues, especially the lack of having coastal restoration and hurricane protection as one of the five top agenda items, many signed on anyway.
�I don�t see this Blueprint group as a single interest group trying to get their own little agenda. I see it as a nobler cause, pushing to improve the image of the state,� said Dupre.
As for coastal issues, Blueprint has publicly made concessions that coastal restoration and hurricane protection are important in the next legislative session.
�We think we�ve done a great job of getting coastal back to the focus of Blueprint Louisiana,� Baldone said. �My point is that if you�re not at the table you�re not going to have a voice.�
New state group lassos support in Legislature
HOUMA � No matter how the runoff elections for seats in the state Legislature turn out, new interest group Blueprint Louisiana will have a majority of supporters in both houses.

With ABC and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. two episodes into its sophomore season, the show has been compared to Fox's Gotham in terms of ratings, as well as quality television. On its own, the series has moved forward after the somewhat contentious first half of its first season, though whether or not Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s second season has improved remains up to the individual viewer -- read our review of the latest episode to see where we land.
One of the ways in which Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has upped the ante in its sophomore season is by adding well known actors and actresses in new roles -- some of which included characters from the comics, like Adrianne Palicki's Mockingbird. Now, another new character has been cast while Palicki discusses her upcoming introduction as Mockingbird and the character's future in Marvel's Cinematic Universe.
Zap 2 It reports that Tim DeKay (White Collar) has joined Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Senator Christian Ward -- Grant Ward's (Brett Dalton) older brother -- to appear in season 2, episode 6, "A Fractured House." As revealed in season 1, the brothers' relationship was abusive as Christian forced Grant to beat up their younger brother. Grant eventually set fire to their home while Christian was inside, landing him in the juvenile detention center where he was recruited to S.H.I.E.L.D./HYDRA by John Garrett (Bill Paxton).
While it's unclear how many episodes DeKay will appear in, he is presumably joining the series as a part of Grant's season 2 character arc - in which he has been dealing with the absence left by Garrett, who was a pseudo-father figure. The episode title seems to hint that viewers will learn more about the relationship between the brothers, though it's unclear exactly how much will be revealed.
It's also possible Christian Ward's entry into Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was foreshadowed in episode 2, "Heavy in the Head" when General Glenn Talbot (Adrian Padar) referenced a "senator with deep pockets." However, the senator's intentions -- and why he is anti-S.H.I.E.L.D./anti-Coulson -- are a mystery for the time being. Of course, it's also possible these are two separate senators entirely.
Another character that will be joining Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. -- in episode 5, "A Hen in the Wolf House" -- is Bobbi Morse a.k.a. Mockingbird, played by Palicki. Though her character hasn't officially debuted, the actress told IGN there is a possibility she may join Marvel's movie universe and that it was part of the appeal to signing on to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Read Palicki's full quote:
"Absolutely – that was one of the things that was discussed when I was coming on for the part, and you know, we'll see what happens. It's such a nice world that we live in that crossover can happen so often now which in the past it never really did so, to see these worlds come together on the small screen and the big screen is really cool."
Prior to Palicki, only a handful of Marvel characters have cross-overed from the cinematic universe to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and often only for event-style episodes such as the season 1 finale and the season 2 premiere.
While it may be more difficult to fit the more prominent movie universe characters into Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. due to time and/or financial restraints, starting a character off on the small screen and seeing how audiences react may be an effective way of introducing players to the MCU. Perhaps, if Palicki is a hit as Bobbi Morse, she may make the jump to the big screen for The Avengers 3.
However, it's also possible that Marvel included the movie role as a provision in case they ever want her to appear in one of their feature films, which may not necessarily happen. Though more crossover between Marvel's movies and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. may be exciting to some fans, it may not happen in the form of Mockingbird's role.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns next Tuesday with "Making Friends and Influencing People" @9pm on ABC.

Background: Tumour excision with negative margins is the ultimate goal following soft tissue sarcoma excision, but obtaining this goal can come at a cost with high wound complication rates reported. There is however an emerging body of evidence that primary application of a negative pressure dressing can significantly decrease the risk of developing post-operative wound complications. This paper describes the study protocol for an interventional randomized controlled trial, comparing the efficacy of negative pressure dressings against standard dressings on primary closed wounds following soft tissue sarcoma excision.
Questions/Purposes: Does primary application of negative pressure dressing to closed wounds post soft tissue sarcoma excision reduce wound complications when compared to standard dressings?
Level of evidence: Level I, Prospective RCT

You will want to make sure that if you have a business, you have a website that looks great and acts like it is professional and appealing to anyone that may look at it. The web design process needs to be highly supervised in order for the website to look the best. In the most basic form, web design is simply the process that involves visualizing, planning, and then creating websites online. In a lot of the circumstances, there are many other people that will be involved with the process of actually creating the website because there is a lot that goes into it.
These websites are created with the purpose to advertise or to market the business, the goods and services, or to attract more people to the brand. Overall, there are more websites that have the goal of wanting to attract more customers or attract their previous customers to come back. The website is usually going to be the first, or one of the first, exposures to this website design company for a lot of people, so it is very important that it portrays exactly what the company wants it to portray.
Although web design may not seem like it is that difficult, there are many different pieces that have to be put together in order for the website to function and look as planned. There are a lot of different steps involved in the whole process. In addition to the many steps that have to be considered, there are many different technical factors that must be given attention in order for the concept to turn out as planned. You need to make sure that whoever is working on your website is going to be really skilled and able to do the job well.
There are a lot of benefits of having a website. With web design agency, it is typically true that this is one of the best and easiest ways to advertise for a business or product. Your website is able to portray all of the important information about your business and what you aim to do. In addition to this, you are going to be able to reach a much larger base of customers.
It is important to know how well your website is going to turn out in terms of appearance at the end of your design process. If your website is not appealing, people won't want to stay on it and browse for as long of a period of time. The color scheme, the font, the graphics, and the videos you include are just a few of the things that you will want to make sure that you factor into your overall plan for the way that the website is going to look.

Euro inflation falls
The core inflation rate for the eurozone this morning has come in at 1.3%, unchanged from last month suggesting that inflation is stabilizing in the region. The euro strengthened to a four-month high against the pound yesterday, as inflation in the UK continues to fall and Mervyn King suggested that further interest rate cuts may be necessary.
Positive figures from the eurozone have helped strengthen euro rates for currency transfer, also buoyed by stronger retail sales figures in the US. German retail sales however, have come in weaker this morning, falling by 1.7% for the first time in seven months as rising unemployment led consumers to cut their spending. The euro is expected to remain firm in the medium term against the US dollar and pound.
Currency transfer rates for the euro are currently at GBP0.8885 and USD1.4682.
The rates quoted above are interbank rates. Client rates may vary according to the volume and timing of the trade.

The Sustainable Solution In Flexible Packaging
Customer Support:
"The Smart Bottle has to be one of the best inventions for backpackers and campers since the invention of the canteen. It is extremely light weight when empty and can be stuffed into almost any place in your pack. No more bulky water bottles. It is made of heavy duty plastic and should last you for many trips to come. The best part of having a Smart Bottle is that after being on the trail all day and finally making camp, you will only have to go for water once. Our last trip we had two Smart Bottles and had enough water to cover eight people for our evening and morning drinking and cooking needs. No more running to your water source multiple times to refill water bottles every time you want to cook or make some trail coffee. Grab yourself a Smart Bottle for your next trip. I assure you, you wont be disappointed."

Friends, just wanted to let you know I just finished a year cruising the barrier islands and living out of a sailing kayak, off the sea. I've been doing this for years. Out of all the top quality name brand products, yours has been the best I have ever used. I kept two 2.5 gal in the cockpit and multiple flat ones for collecting rain water and filtering water (some only for dirty water, some for clean). The harsh environment destroys the most expensive dry bags, hard and soft water containers break. For the first time, this is the only range of products that never failed at all! I used them through Hurricane Harvey, 2 snows, several hard freezes and many 100+ degree days. Because they take up little space, I could catch a months worth of water on a good rain and keep it until i moved on. Anyway, I'm back to refit as this was a hard weather year but I'll be buying more! Best camping gear investment I've ever made! Thank you.

"When dry camping (no hook-ups) in my Class-B motor home for more than a few days, I have limited fresh water storage in my internal 33 gallon tank. I used to carry three extra Sparklett Bottles (5 gal each) to refill the tank as I used my internal supply. But with three 5-Gallon Smart Bottles I carry the same amount of water yet save on space when they are empty as they fold neatly for storage."
Mike S. —Carson, California
"Before our Colorado river trips, we fill a couple of 1-gal Smart Bottles with our favorite juice drink and freeze them. Placed in our large coolers, they act as ice to keep the contents of the ice chest cool while providing us with a cold drink as its contents melt. A great product that is versatile and compact for our needs."
Mike D. —Bakersfield, California
"The 1-gallon fits nicely in the back compartment of my kayak. As I drink it's content it collapses and saves space. When empty I just roll it up and tuck it away. A great space saver."
Pete M. –Fort MacArthur, California
"While backpacking we found the 1-gal Smart Bottle was ideal as a main reservoir for our base camp. We would fill it with filtered water from a local source and then use it as our main supply point for cooking, cleaning, washing and refilling our smaller water bottles. It saved us trips on refills. Lightweight and compact, it stored easily in our packs when hiking."

Easy Immune Boost Smoothie/
As a busy mum of two I'm always looking for ways to boost my immune system during cold and flu season.
I'm a massive fan of smoothies, and this immune booster is one of my favourites.
Simply start off by blending half a cup of spinach (tip: blend your greens first so that it is completely smooth before adding your additional ingredients - this way you don't end up with chunks of greens!).
Now add two cups of coconut water, half a cup of pineapple (cut into chunks), a whole apple (cut into chunks), a whole orange (rind off, cut into chunks), a little chopped fresh ginger and a little chopped turmeric root, a generous squeeze of a fresh lemon, two teaspoons honey, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
Blend until smooth, serve with ice and enjoy!

Now I know what ya'll must be thinking it's summer ,"who wants something hot ? " We do ! One of our family favorites and versitile dishes (or bowls rather ) is homemade chili. Now my mom always made this for parties as long as I can remember but I took it and "puertoricanized it" with my own remix. And you will not see the extra stuff I added to it but you can appreciate that extra flavor that takes it to another level.
3 cans of chili beans ( you can use regular small red or pink beans I use the Aldi's brand)
1 large sweet onion diced
6 garlic cloves minced
2 cubes of sofrito (homemade or the one in the freezer section)
2 can of Rotel tomatoes or any brand of tomatoes and jalepenos
1 cup of pasta sauce (I use my homemade one but you can substitute for a can of tomato sauce or ketuchup)
2lbs of ground beef (can substitute ground chicken or turkey)
2 packets of Mccormicks chili mix Mild or Hot ( I use the low sodium) or I make my own chili mix ( very simple if you want recipe leave me a comment below)
Garlic salt and pepper to your preference to season the meat
Cutting board
Medium to Large stock pot
Can opener
1. Sweat onions and garlic in the stock pot
2. Add the ground beef ( or meat of your choice) season with garlic salt and pepper while cooking. Drain the fat, do not use water to wash it out.
4. Add the chili mixes or add about 6 table spoons of the homemade mix. Stir until well incorporated.
5. Add the beans, Rotel , tomatoes sauce , sofrito, and stir and bring to a boil. Do not add water. It may look think but wait until it boils because the condensation from the lid ads water. *If you like a souper consistency ….. We can't be friends because that isn't chili, that's soup ! Lol * you can add water but you will have to adjust the seasonings.
6. Bring to a boil and let simmer on low or 2 for 1-2 hours , stir occasionally.
It comes out not to thick not to watery. Of course add more red pepper flakes or chayenne pepper if you want more heat. I sometimes add more tomatoes and green peppers towards then end for extra crunch and chunkiness. But I decided to keep it simple that day 🙂
This can be eaten on its own, with cheese, sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and chives. We like it over white rice with cheese and sour cream. You will have leftovers , most likely ; and you can use this to make chili dogs on another day.
Enjoy !!!

A forthcoming study, Total Cancer Care, that Boca Community Hospital Lynn Cancer Care Institute will participate in, includes association with a major cancer center (the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa), a pharmaceutical firm (Merck & Co) and the state of Florida who will be doing a study that could radically change the way cancer is treated. Moffitt will link with healthcare providers nationwide. Fourteen hospital sites in Florida are participating. The goal of the program is to improve cancer prevention and treatment by using molecular technology to enhance the ability to diagnose and treat patients. Currently tumors can be tested for 30,000 genes which provide molecular fingerprints unique to each tumor. Scientists, by studying these unique molecular structures, will be able to develop individually personalized new drug therapies to enhance treatment responses. With no extra doctor visits, no additional expenses to pay and medical information remaining private, patients that participate in the program will also have access to individualized clinical trials as they develop. 2,500 cancer patients will enroll in the BRCH research program over the next 5 years, collecting tumor, tissue, blood, urine and clinical information at various points of their lives. Focus will be on breast, prostate, brain, lung, pancreatic, colorectal and ovarian tissue. Lynn Cancer Institute is one of the top five largest cancer programs for patient volumes in Florida. Patients are seen by multiple sub-specialists at the same location on the same visit. The newest location, the 98,000 sq ft $73-MM Harvey and Phyllis Sandler Pavilion is scheduled to open this fall.

I am in no way qualified to offer writing advice to anyone, other than this very sporadic blog….and I'm working on that. Despite my lack of qualifications that is indeed what I am doing. When to end the story is as important as where and how to start it. (Perhaps a future post on those topics) A story needs a great end as much as a beginning. The end must satisfy the author and the audience. It should meet the promise put forth by the writer and live up to the reader's expectation.
Well duh! Right? Yes, yet many fail in this regard or fail to deliver or even in certain cases deliver too much. This goes for novels, short stories, screen plays/movies, and a little known and important story telling device role playing games.
Look at some great examples of story endings: All three of the original Star Wars films New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. Each ended on a note that wrapped up the current film and with the first two set up the events for the sequel.
New Hope ended with the destruction of the Death Star (the climax) and Darth Vader's Tie-Fighter spinning off into the depths of space, the later letting the viewer know that this is only the first part of the tale. Then the award ceremony to have an epilogue that ends on a high note. Empire ends much more darkly, the rebellion set on its heels, Han Solo lost to the companions, and the huge reveal that Vader is Luke's father. People could not wait for the last installment with Return of the Jedi, the tale was wrapped up, the villains defeated, and in the original theatrical version: The Yub Yub song. (Star Wars fans know what I am talking about.) What the three films accomplished so well that Lucas was hailed as genius was follow the heroic journey and express it so well to a wide eyed generation. Each ended with a strong climax and did not belabor the epilogue. We didn't need to see Vader return to the Emperor after his defeat in New Hope. We did not need to see the adventures between Empire and Return that led to Han Solo's rescue. Writers have filled in these blanks to adnauseam in comics, fan films, and novels. They allowed the viewer to leave the theater feeling satisfied, their own imaginations filling in those blanks, and each sequel paid off on the promise of the previous film. These movies fulfilled their obligation to viewer without, in my opinion, short changing them.
This tale ends perfectly! The writer gives a brief epilogue to sum up the hero's experience and then leaves the reader pondering with the bit of cloth in a warrior's grip. Was it snow madness? Then where did the cloth come from? Again the reader is allowed to decide and let their own imagination take over.
Pickman's Model is a prime example. The tale is written in a first person style where the narrator is answering an unheard query from a companion, launching into a tale of macabre art. Pickman would paint demonic scenes with realistic backdrops or human models. The tale is the set up for the punch line. The narrator explains how Pickman is of old Salem stock, claiming an ancestor burned as a witch. Pickman's ostracization from the art community at large for his disturbing imagery. The story weaves around the themes of the art, the models used, the backdrop settings. The reader has a dawning horror of what is to come so when the reveal is made, one is horrified because their fears are realized with the ending. The subjects of the work, the horrific models, were not fever dream imaginings of Pickman, but rather as the narrator states: "It was a photograph from life!"
Now let us take the tales that failed and why: for films one of the greatest examples is the first Back to the Future film. With the "To Be Continued….." tag at the end had viewers chomping at the bit for the sequel. As my friend commented when we saw this film in theaters: "They better make another one!" So in an attempt to satisfy the viewers and make more money, the downfall of all sequels, the second film came out and disappointed. Fortunately the franchise was saved by a great ending to the trilogy. This is an example of where to stop the story. What if they had not followed though with a sequel? Would viewers rather been satisfied with a great ride the first time round and not sitting through the disappointing, almost repetitive, second film?
Without pointing to specific series', how many writers that are constant bestsellers, are writing sequels for their popular worlds/characters that need to retire them? How many really have nothing new to say, the adventures stale, or driven by corporate merchandising?
Now how do these mini-reviews relate to knowing when to end the story? They offer the formula for do's and don'ts. The best thing is to end the story where it ends. Simple enough, yes? No. Because of the pursuit of more money, or a greater word count, this one simple rule is ignored. The Matrix and the aforementioned Back to the Future fall into this trap, even Conan the Destroyer, so pale when compared to the operatic Barbarian film, pursued the franchise cash cow, rather than ending the story well. (Setting aside all Howardian complaints of both films.)
End the story where it ends. Do not attempt a sequel or several more chapters unless they offer something as strong as, or in the case of The Empire Strikes Back, something stronger than what preceded it.
To end a tale generally has to be a gut reaction. As a writer one must be objective enough to sit back and say, "Am I done?" If the tale is finished, is it a satisfying ending? This too can be a gut reaction, but first readers, honest first readers, help here. This is where the thick skin comes in. A first reader has to be able to tell the writer who is in love with the story: "You should have ended it three paragraphs back." Or harshly: "This sucks!" Of course this needs to be followed by the why.
Now, those that are fortunate enough to have the combination of luck, skill, timing, and perseverance to become published writers of novels have the dreaded problem of "trilogy" or "series" when they are really lucky. This leads to the weak sequel, it happens with movies, music, and of course novels. The artist is giddy from the initial acceptance, the idea of a paycheck, and adoring fans. Those fans might not be so adoring if you let them down in the second act. Be prepared with a strong second act, or don't offer one. Think of all the sophomore efforts that are spoken of in various art industries. Critics salivate for sequels.
Now that I have long since rambled beyond the point of where I should have ended this essay, let me conclude by saying look closely at your themes, what do you want to say? What will punctuate your message or simply grab the audience's emotions, leaving them pondering or wishing for more? That is where to end the story.

When to End a Story: No This Is Not Another Star Wars Rant……Yet

All good points. I agree there are way too many bad sequels out there, and I would like to see more writers, directors and musicians just say no when faced with the choice of double-dipping on a great idea or just to leave well enough alone.ReplyDelete

The Followers of Jesus as staying visible. If you have any comments - email@example.com .
The Followers of Jesus as staying visible is what resurrection hands us. Nothing needs to be hidden and nothing needs to be avoided and no one needs to be excluded and no one is less. We keep things in the open. We keep the doors open. We do not cover over what has happened or what is about to happen. The only surprise in the resurrection is that it really does happen just as promised. For too often, the promises of the world do not last or they are filled with hooks and trap doors. The Followers of Jesus as staying visible make sure that the ugliness of violence never be hidden or pushed to the side. For whenever that happens, new violence and ugliness will fill up the world once again. We are to be transparent and demand that the world around us will also show a bit of the truthfulness of life and death that is often too easily dismissed.
O God of love and new life, open wide the truthfulness of your Reign among us. Amen.

Although the Crown and defence agree he likely did not act alone, Sona, 26, was the only person charged in the so-called robocalls scandal, in which 6,700 calls were made on the morning of the 2011 federal election with misleading information on where to vote.
In August, Sona was found guilty of wilfully preventing or endeavouring to prevent an elector from voting, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
"When courts are confronted with individuals who commit an offence of this nature, a large-scale attempt to defraud individuals of their constitutional right to vote, (18 to 20 months) is the fit and appropriate sentence," Crown attorney Croft Michaelson said in his submission to Justice Gary Hearn.
"(Jail time is needed) to deter this type of conduct in the future, so it doesn't ever happen again, and more importantly, so those involved in the electoral process are aware we have rules and the rules have to be followed.
"And if you interfere with the electoral process and you do something that's aimed at undermining the constitutional right of citizens to vote, the courts will deal with that."
Sona has also refused to accept responsibility for his role in the scheme, Michaelson added. "We have a complete lack of contrition. We have no remorse."
Lawyer Norm Boxall argued that Sona has already suffered enough, given the embarrassment and damage to his reputation the controversy has caused.
Sona has been working as an apprentice machinist of late, earning between $12 and $14 an hour, court heard.
"In my submission it's not necessary to separate Mr. Sona from society," Boxall said. "We're not at risk (from) him, he's not dangerous."
Boxall asked Hearn to consider a short suspended sentence or a six-to-12-month conditional sentence with house arrest, parole and a requirement to complete community service.
The message that the authorities won't tolerate election fraud has already been received and understood by everyone in Canadian politics, said Boxall, noting his client was just 22 in 2011 and had no prior criminal record.
If Hearn decides jail time is required, Boxall argued a "short, sharp sentence" would be sufficient.
"It may be that your honour feels that some form of real custody is required to denounce or deter, but in my submission, the length of it in one sense isn't very important in this type of case, the symbolism of it may be," he said.
"It doesn't have to be a long onerous sentence, it only needs to be a … symbolic sentence."
Boxall said Sona's involvement in the scheme was more of a misguided "prank, or an election trick, or game," rather than a grand conspiracy or "attack on democracy."
Jail time is called for, but if Sona is to receive a conditional sentence, it should be as harsh as possible — not something "that would simply require the accused to spend his evenings and weekends in his apartment where he can watch TV and Twitter away," Michaelson said.
Hearn asked Sona if he had anything to say before a sentencing decision was made. Sona shook his head no.
Sona is scheduled to receive his sentence on Nov. 19.
Earlier Friday, court heard from two of the 16 people who submitted victim-impact statements following the election.
Sarah Parro said she initially believed that the automated call she received on election day was legitimate, but was later convinced by her father that something about it was suspicious.
Parro said she felt naive assuming such fraud would never happen in Canada. The experience left her disillusioned with politics, she added.
"(It felt like) we are just pawns in a rigged chess game, no different than stolen elections in Third World countries."
Anne Budra, the returning officer responsible for the vote in Guelph, said her reputation and the credibility of Elections Canada were "threatened in a very serious manner" by the phoney calls.
"What happened was extremely serious for our democratic way of life in Canada, Budra said. "It was extremely stressful and disappointing and had very serious effects."

From: Austin Tate (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: 03/07/03
How about the "primitives" Jerry... Space Time ----- ---- location time-point (interval) <- though I treat that as derived The idea being that a neutral word like location which does not restrict the meaning to be only one of a "point" or "area" or "volume" and leaves nature of the "location" open can be useful to allow relationships to be stated to give real meaning. It also then allows relationships to be given to grid and coordinate systems in some way. This is much like having a temporal ontology primitive like time point which allows you to relate time points to one another and to metric time descriptions on a calendar or timeline. Jerry Hobbs wrote in reply: >Good idea. In the time ontology I tried to axiomatize instants in a >way that didn't force one to accept their existence. So Allen's approach >in which everything is an interval is subsumed, and for him the axioms about >the properties of instants are all vacuously true. I think I'd want to >do a similar thing for locations -- be silent about whether points actually >exist, but axiomatize what their properties would be if they did exist. > >I'd suggest that you send this bit to daml-spatial, to help get a discussion >going. Done via this message. James Allen and I discussed the issue of time points and time intervals by the way while developing other ontologies such as PIF and NIST PSL and he believe (I hope I am not misrepresenting him) that time points can be seen as primitive and intervals as made up of two time points. But his temporal calculus then uses these derived intervals of course - which is fine.

Off-Leash Dogs are NOT allowed at Buena Vista Park!
Conversations while walking the trails in Buena Vista Park on December 12 …
Did you know that off-leash dogs are not allowed in Buena Vista Park? "I thought they changed that," was the reply. Well, off-leash was okay from 9-22 to 11-24, but that ordinance has been rescinded. "That's sad." But that's the current ordinance. Did they put their Weimaraner on a leash? No.
At the top of the hill: Did you know that there were no off-leash dogs allowed in Buena Vista Park? "Thanks for letting me know," and he walked on with his two little dogs, still off-leash.
Through the changes in ordinances, off-leash dogs have never been allowed on the lawn areas or at the duck pond.
So this yoga practitioner totally ignored that restriction at 10:30 in the morning. And when it was time to give the hard-running dog some water, her unleashed dog was right by the open car door of a lady who was holding her baby and trying to get out of her car. "Sorry," from the dog owner just doesn't ensure the safety of that baby and her mom.
It was gratifying to see a couple guys walking their dog, on-leash. They agreed to a photo. They're the law-abiding heroes of the day
Off-leash parks and trails will be discussed at Parks & Rec Commission meetings on January 22, 2018, at 6 pm in the City Council chambers, on-site at Buena Vista Park on February 17 at 1 pm, and on March 26 at 6 pm at City Council Chambers. Recommendations will be passed to the Vista City Council in April. Public input is welcome!

Schools employ more than just teachers and principals. In New York State teachers in public schools are evaluated annually using a standardized NYS APPR but non-instructional personnel can also benefit from regular performance reviews.
The School-Related Personnel Evaluation module manages the professional performance review of non-teaching personnel digitally using rubrics and questionnaires to identify top performers, areas of concern, and guides all staff to even better performance.
It generates valuable data which can be analyzed and used to plan professional development opportunities for non-teaching staff.

Envenomed II
(Arctic Music Group Group)
If you already own the first version of "Envenomed", like I do, you should be pretty offended by this kind of re-release, because it features three bonus tracks, that should be interesting for any fan of MALEVOLENT CREATION - a DARK ANGEL cover and two re-recorded demo-songs from the late 80s - all songs definitely kill!!! But any real fan of this band would have bought the "Envenomed" CD as soon as he gets it and this re-release was put out a year after the normal version. I am lucky to be able to sell my old CD to friend, but if you don't get this chance this is a fucking rip off!!! I am a longtime worshipper of MALEVOLENT CREATION and it is extremely disappointing to me, that Phil Fasciana (runs Arctic Music) puts out such a CD, which not even has a new design or the lyrics of the bonus songs - this really sucks!!! Maybe he should think about a CD, where only re-recorded material or demo tracks can be found, but a re-release like "Envenomed II" is simply unfair and a slap in the face of any fan!!! It would be a great gesture of the band / label to put the songs as MP3 file on the band's website, so every fan can enjoy them and not only those who buy the CD just now for the first time. Contact me and I will copy the songs to any true fan!!! Label's website: www.arcticmusicgroup.com. Band's website: www.malevolentcreation.cjb.net

The Crossings Sauvignon Blanc August 17, 2014Posted by Bacchus in : Wines , Email This Post , trackback
The Crossings Sauvignon Blanc
All grapes for this wine were estate grown on the alluvial soils of the Awatere Valley's northern river terraces. Viticultural input is directed at maintaining low yields and good vine balance to produce fruit which ripens uniformly and with maximum flavor intensity. We believe the best wines come from vines that exist in balance with nature, so much of the original vegetation remains and spraying is kept to a minimum on our vineyards
Buy The Crossings Sauvignon Blanc
This Sauvignon from Marlborough's Awatere Valley, New Zealand, has a pale yellow color with green highlights. Its nose is characterised by a lovely mix of tangy lemon and herbal notes. These run into a rich palate full or ripe currants and honeysuckle which rest on a lingering mineral base.

The concept (normal -- that is, not glamorous -- twenty-something girls and their friends loose in Manhattan) has terrific potential.
But the boys seem obnoxious, the girls annoying and a bit unpleasant, and the adults (boss, parents) cold-hearted, clueless caricatures.
If the potential is not realized soon with a more compelling story and characters that are easier to enjoy watching, this will be at best a cult favorite.

every one to their own taste .
I'm just not a huge fan of the red pinstripe on the door mirrors and the large red strip on the front bumper which doesn't aesthetically match the thinner red stripe on the side skirts and rear bumper. Also not a fan of the silver door handles, too much of a contrast against the black paintwork.

Can Bitcoin's Technology Change The Way We Vote?
Posted by: DeepDotWeb
June 15, 2014
The concept of bitcoin as a currency is on trajectory to revolutionize the finance, banking and payment industries by shifting power back to the people, whose trust is placed in verifiable open-source code, rather than possibly corruptible humans with ulterior motives. And the main technology behind bitcoin – the blockchain – is set to forever shift the political paradigm in the same direction.
The voting process is notoriously prone to miscounted ballots, lost votes, low voter turnout, human error, machine error, manipulation and general corruption – and has been a public concern for centuries. On top of this, many feel that they can't trust their elected officials, or feel misrepresented by them. All of which could be solved with blockchain voting technology.
With the invention of the internet came the real possibility of casting digital ballots from the comfort of your own home, or even establishing a direct democracy where every person has the option to vote on each issue. But so far, the biggest concern and prohibiting factor has been trust. Whether it be concerns related to hackers or lack of trust in the technology, there hasn't been a good enough system developed to conduct widespread online voting.
That is, until the invention of the blockchain by Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. It's the open source, semi-anonymous decentralized public ledger system where all bitcoin transactions are recorded. And a revolutionary voting system could be built on top of it. Its irreversible, transparent nature lends itself quite well to political voting. It's anonymous, people could see how many votes were cast, which votes were counted, examine the source code to verify integrity, and the decentralized network offers arguably the best protection against security exploits. Many tout the blockchain as being just as important an invention as bitcoin itself, if not more important.
Gone will be the days where people have to place trust in potentially flawed humans, political parties, governments or outdated voting systems.
From the point of view of a bitcoin enthusiast It seems like it may be only a matter of time time before a voting system built on top of the blockchain code is integrated into national elections in countries around the world. While it certainly has its own set of flaws, it's possibly the best solution yet.
Here's an example of how it could work:
Each citizen who wants to vote registers, specifies how many items they want to vote on, and is provided with an address, similar to a bitcoin wallet address. On the day of the election, vote coins are sent to all registrants, which are then sent to addresses that have been paired with an issue or candidate. Restrictions can easily be implemented into the system that prohibit sending more than one coin to each address, as can restrictions preventing people from donating their vote to others.
One idea for a similar blockchain voting system, called BitCongress, is currently in development, and will release a white paper soon explaining the details.
"BitCongress is a decentralized, peer to peer, open source voting system built onto the blockchain in a multitude of ways including Ethereum, MetaCoins, ColoredCoins & a mined crypto currency called Votecoin," states the BitCongress website.
This system will utilize the Votecoin as mined vote token that is verified by the miners in the cryptocurrency 2.0 layers. Anyone with a program can plug into the BitCongress system and use the mined currency to verify votes. These votes can be counted in any way imaginable, giving a customized voting system that uses a standardized yet decentralized peer to peer system to verify the votes. It also will register all voting data on the systems blockchain as well as give polling data a whole new system to be built upon.
The Liberal Alliance, a Danish political party, recently became the first of its kind to use the blockchain technology when conducting internal elections.
"Blockchain eliminates the need for trust, as the technology can operate autonomously without interference from humans, and it is also open source and transparent so that anyone can look under the hood and see what's going on. It does not get more liberal – so it is ideal for e-voting," explained Mikkel Freltoft Krogholm, a representative for the Liberal Alliance.
While a tried and tested solution to internet voting using blockchain technology has yet to be released, programmers and blockchain enthusiasts are hard at work developing what many believe will be the next step in global political evolution. Only time will tell whether such a system is supported by the general populace or will be allowed to exist by the powers that be.

To whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Col. 1:27 NAS)
God has called us into His own very glory. The glory of God is the radiance of His beauty and excellency. The scripture above teaches us that a mystery in the kingdom of God that was not known to the saints that preceded us was "Christ in you the hope of glory".
Christianity is Christ living in a man, and produces His life and works through that man. Christianity is not a religion or human efforts to please God. It is a life driven by power. When we get born again, God creates in us a new spirit. That new spirit is made in the very holiness of God, and able to be a dwelling place for God. He then comes to dwell in us within our bodies as His Temple by His Holy Spirit. These are two distinct experiences, which are clearly depicted in this prophecy "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes.. (Ezek. 36:26-27 NAS). The Christ that dwells in you is the Holy Spirit. As He leads your life, the glory of God will shine forth. He is Shekina of the Old Testament living in you, and shining forth through you right now. He is God's guarantee that we will share in His glory when Christ returns. Your life is from glory to glory. Christ in you the hope of glory today and tomorrow!
Take a moment and meditate on the verse above. Ponder upon the truth-Christ in you the hope of glory. Has this really become your consciousness? Refuse to make this a religious statement that your accept. It is a spiritual reality. Mutter it again and again all day.
Thank the Lord for bringing us into His glory. Pray that God will soften your heart more and more each day, and make you open so that Christ will live freely in you.
Be conscious of Christ living in you today. He is not living separately from you, but living in you as you! (Gal 2:20). He lives as you talk and act. You yield to the Spirit of God by acting and doing the Word. When the Spirit lives through you, Christ is sin. When we (the flesh) lives, sin results. Do not yield your bodies to sin today, but to the Spirit so that the glory of God will be revealed in your life.

With the ever increasing reliance on smartphone and how easily a user can load application onto their phone has made it even more important that users are aware of what they are installing into their phone before they do. However, tools that are able to validate the validity of the application that they are trying to install are limited. Therefore, this project will design a web application for user to upload their Android Application Package (APK) for analysis. In order to achieve the goal, huge amount of Android APK are needed for analysis. Crawlers will be developed to automatically surf the application store for Android APK and download it. The web application would include tools that are develop by Dr Xue Yingxing and Mr Meng Guozhu and overall, the application objective is to create a simple platform for these tools to interact with the user.

Sees APAC OEMs embracing evolution of embedded systems to intelligent systems
WALTHAM, MA & TAIWAN, R.O.C (Feb. 15, 2012) – IntervalZero Inc., whose SMP-enabled RTX software plug-in transforms Microsoft Windows into a real-time operating system (RTOS), has expanded its global operations with an office in Taiwan, R.O.C. The company said it has added sales support and technical resources.
The RTX real-time platform, which comprises Windows, RTX, and x86 multicore multiprocessing, drives cost and performance benefits in the development of intelligent embedded systems in industries ranging from Industrial Automation to Digital Media.
"Our ability to consistently acquire large, new customers in APAC over the last three years has fueled the record growth of our company. We see this encouraging trend continuing and we recognized that to help our customers succeed more quickly we needed local personnel in place," said CEO Jeffrey D. Hibbard.
Hibbard said that innovative Industrial Automation OEMs in Taiwan and China in particular are embracing the evolution of embedded systems from hardware-intensive, fixed-function, disconnected systems to software-based intelligent systems. These innovative systems utilize high-performance microprocessors, symmetric multiprocessing and parallel processing to drive down costs while increasing performance and programmability.
"I've been fortunate to have many discussions with executives at large robotics, PLC, digital media OEMs throughout APAC over the last three years and they are laser focused on taking full advantage of the opportunities that our real-time platform presents. They are using Windows' world-class development environment, multicore x86, RTX real-time and EtherCAT connectivity to slash BOM costs, getting to market faster and scaling in ways that were not possible even a few years ago," said Hibbard.
By leveraging x86 multi-core technologies and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) functionality, and by transforming Windows into an RTOS with the RTX real-time plug-in, OEMs can replace real-time hardware such as DSPs and FPGAs with standard Windows PCs to reduce costs, and boost quality and performance.
The Taiwan office is IntervalZero's second recent expansion outside the U.S. The company opened an office in Munich, Germany late last year.
IntervalZero's customer-centered philosophy combined with more than three decades of embedded software innovation and the proven value of its RTX have enabled the company to build a global customer base of market-leading OEMs and end users in Industrial Automation, Medical Systems, Digital Media, Test & Measurement, Military & Aerospace, and other industries.
IntervalZero is relentlessly focused on its customers' success and shares their pursuit of excellence. The company continuously invests in both its real-time software technology and in strengthening customer relationships.
IntervalZero is headquartered in Massachusetts and has an office in Nice, France as well as Munich and Taiwan. The company is a Microsoft Embedded Gold Partner and gained Microsoft's recognition as a leading partner in both North America and EMEA in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
