40 Under 40: Nathan Brodsky
Nathan Brodsky, 26, is the PJ Library and engagement associate, at the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta.
Nathan Brodsky is passionate about Jewish community building, making him a good fit for the engagement department of the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta. His role includes leading PJ Library, which gives books to Jewish children each month. It's a nonintimidating way to get people involved, Brodsky said.
"What I like about it is it teaches people about the religion and Jewish values. You learn about more than just Passover and Chanukah. You learn about Shavuot and Lag B'Omer."
Giving kids books to be a part of the community inspires him to extend his work in Jewish Atlanta, where he hopes to continue to make a difference the next 20 years. Originally from Sarasota, Fla., Brodsky lives in the Lindridge/Martin Manor neighborhood and has been in Atlanta for two years. He serves on the boards of Moishe House in Virginia-Highland and of Limmud Atlanta + Southeast. He said it's a great time to be under 40 in Jewish Atlanta because of some 30 organizations cater to young adults and young families.
"There's Jewish innovation occurring and change occurring, and when there's change, people are excited."

This is the second part in a two part blog series, where in the first post I designed a simple nameplate using SOLIDWORKS. If you haven't read it yet, you can view it here. In this blog post, I'll prepare the model for printing using GrabCAD Print, the latest 3D Print-Preparation (aka "slicing") software from Stratasys, and print the model on a Stratasys F370 3D printer.
One of the design goals outlined in the last article is that the nameplate be attractive and easy to read. I'm happy with the overall design of the part, but I'd like it to have plenty of contrast to make the text easy to read. I can do that by printing the part in two colors. With Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology, a color change requires a material change. So I'll start the print with one color, pause the build at a certain layer and switch materials, then resume the print to complete the part with the second color. I'll need to keep this in mind while orienting the part. Let's get started.
GrabCAD Print can handle nearly any file format (not just STL files), so I can just add the native SOLIDWORKS file directly.
By default GrabCAD Print automatically scans models for errors. I can see that this model is error free, and confirm that in Analysis Mode (where any errors could be automatically fixed).
Now let's consider the orientation of the part. This orientation works for my color-change plans, but there's quite a large overhang under the text, which would require a lot of support material.
To build this part fast and cheap as intended, I'll need to minimize support material. I'll orient the text face toward the bottom instead.
Using the default options for the F370 building ABS, this build is expected to take a couple hours and use just over 3 cubic inches of material.
I should note here that the other part on the build tray is the purge tower; a sacrificial part that helps ensure good part quality by priming the nozzle before each layer. This priming is especially important on layers with both model and support material, but that won't be of much concern with this part, since there aren't any overhangs requiring support. Switching the build mode to "Draft" reduces the purge tower height, increases the self-supporting overhang angle, and reduces the thickness of the raft underneath the part. These changes might affect the build quality slightly, but probably not enough to notice in this part. But they shave 25% off the build time and uses 15% less material; sounds good to me!
The last step before printing this part is to define the location of the color change with a Z Pause. As of version 1.11.17, the Slice Preview mode now includes that option.
(Note: Pauses are highlighted in blue in the preview.)
Now it's time to print it. But first, I need your help! I'd like to know what topics you'd like me to cover next. Send your ideas to email@example.com. To sweeten the deal, the first three people to send suggestions will receive their own nameplate (be sure to include a shipping address). Put "3D Printing Blog Ideas" in the subject line.
Some of you may know that this particular nameplate belongs to the title character of a certain novel. If you'd like to proudly showcase this on your desk in the color(s) of your choice, send the name of that book's SEQUEL along with your blog topic suggestion. I look forward to hearing from you.

Template talk:Indianapolis Metro

Population or area? I believe that the phrase "largest to smallest" refers to population, but it is ambiguous, as it could be referring to area. Correct me if I'm wrong. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 19:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Cities vs. towns/villages[edit]
I removed these designation from the headings, because there are municipalities of both types under both headings. Also removed "largest" because this template appears to include all of them, not just the largest. --L. Pistachio (talk) 02:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I have taken a million pictures and need to upload them for you all to see. I successfully taught my beach album. It is still at Treasured memories on display. http://www.tmtreno.com/ I promise to post tons of pictures for you to enjoy. I have a long list of Need to Do's. Every year I send out a letter talking about the kids accomplishments along with their picture and now I am late in getting out Priyasha's and she turned two in March. I am working on sending thank you cards and graduation announcements. Going to birthday parties and rescheduling play dates.Yes rescheduling so i can keep up with laundry that somehow seems to multiply every night. There are days when I feel I need a secretary. When I am on the phone and have someone on hold and then my cell phone rings and another person on hold. Four lines now going and the doorbell rings while my two year old screams that she has to go pee. SSHHHH!!! Way too crazy to deal with.I am crazy busy with planning several classes at two different stores. I am also now babysitting a cute six month old baby on Mondays and Tuesdays. You think life can get any crazier ? Well I would not have it any other way. My phone is not on overtime everyday but today boy was life crazy ? That's it for now. I will post some pictures soon.

On Comic 33
Posted by Ben at 2006-04-02 00:39:19 UTC
Yeah…I can't honestly tell you what the hell I was thinking. Those aren't actual dictionary definitions; just in case anyone was wondering. I'm sorry, I'll be funnier next time.
Changes and More Changes
Posted by Ben at 2006-03-20 22:05:18 UTC
Welcome all our loyal fans…all 150 of you. Just popping in to check on how well the new site design is being received. Personally, I wouldn't get too attached to it.
So this is a funny story, get ready to laugh. Right after Tim and I (mostly Tim) reorganized the site, I was contacted by an old friend of mine who decided to critique the new site.
At that point I realized that this old friend of mine is a graphics designer who designs websites for a living. You can probably see where this is going. Anyway, one thing lead to another and long story short, we're going to have an actual designer redoing our site.
Of course, now I owe him a favor. Paying is for the rich, bartering is for the poor.
Hopefully, you'll get to see the new and improved Dubious Company by mid April.
Posted by Elaine at 2006-03-05 22:24:53 UTC
Woooot! I am BACK! Wahahahah!! Midterms and the TWO WEEKS AFTER didn't manage to kill me. Ha! Take that you eeeevil midterms! Well, I have a lull in the work until finals, so I should have plenty of time to work on the comic! I'm also going to try doing them straight on the computer, starting with comic #31. We'll see how that goes. Ok peoples, toodles! And don't hesitate to email with any comments, questions or concerns! (about the art, of course. I'm not smart enough to do the writing ___)

ANAHEIM – Mike Scioscia was asked to reflect on a double-digit losing streak Monday afternoon, something he hasn't had to do since the 1990s. Considering how little practice he's had, the Angels' manager nailed it.
"I think it reflects on how many components you need to do well," Scioscia said, "to get a game on your terms and win it."
The Angels had Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners on their terms for a time, but the trend continued. A 3-2 loss extended the streak to 11 games, the longest in team history since a 12-game streak to end the 1988 season.
Maybe the only component missing from the Angels' attack Monday was a clutch hit.
After stranding a pair of runners in the first inning, the Angels got a run in the second inning on back-to-back doubles by Cliff Pennington and Nick Buss with two outs. They stranded two more runners in the third.
Historically that's about as many chances as Felix Hernandez (7-4) allows in these parts. Monday marked his 10th win against the Angels in the last four seasons, as many as any major league pitcher has against an opponent over the same time span.
Other than a solo home run by Mike Trout in the fifth inning, a booming blast to center field, Hernandez wasn't threatened the rest of the way. The right-hander allowed two runs in 62/3 innings, walking four batters and striking out eight.
Since 2013, Hernandez is 44-2 when he receives at least three runs of support.
Starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco (5-9) was more good than bad. He allowed three runs in 51/3 innings while working out of a few early jams.
Seattle got its first runs in the fourth inning on RBI singles by Adam Lind and Mike Zunino. The Mariners never trailed again.
A solo home run by Nelson Cruz, his 30th of the season, pushed the lead to 3-1.
Trout gave the announced crowd of 35,840 one last gasp in the seventh inning. With runners on second and third base, he poked a warning-track fly ball off the end of his bat to left-center field. When Nori Aoki tracked it down just in front of the fence, pitcher Tom Wilhelmsen gasped and the Angels were out of chances.

The dual-eligible member has the choice of selecting a Medicaid or Medicare appeal process. In the written notice of the initial adverse determination, EmblemHealth will provide notice that:
How to File an Action Appeal
Members wishing to dispute an action may do so themselves or designate a person to act on their behalf by filing an action appeal. To appoint a designee, members must submit by fax or by mail a signed HIPAA-compliant Appointment of Representative form or a Power of Attorney form that specifies the individual as an authorized party. An Appointment of Representative form is not necessary for members who choose to have their practitioner file a dispute on their behalf. A provider may file a UR appeal for concurrent and retrospective denials.
Action appeals should be accompanied by a copy of the action, an explanation outlining the details of the request for a review and all documentation to support a reversal of the decision. The appeal may be filed in writing or by telephone. We will send acknowledgement within 15 days of receipt of the appeal and request any necessary information in writing. Oral appeals are followed up by written signed appeal. Oral appeal acknowledgement letters include a statement summarizing the substance of the appeal. If the substance of this summary is not accurate or is not understood by the member/representative, he/she is instructed in the letter to correct the attached confirmation statement and return it to the attention of EmblemHealth.
Action Appeal Reviews
The review will be conducted by a qualified EmblemHealth medical director who was neither involved in prior determinations nor the subordinate of any person involved in the initial action determination. A clinical peer reviewer must be available within one business day.
Before and during the appeal review period, the member or designee may see their case file. The member may present evidence to support their appeal in person or in writing.
Note: When a claim is denied exclusively due to untimely filing, the practitioner acting on their own behalf may file a request for reconsideration. In order to qualify, the practitioner must demonstrate that the late submission was an unusual occurrence and that they have a pattern of submitting claims in a timely manner.
For Medically Fragile children , a physician will review all denials for services and such determinations must take into consideration the needs of the family/caregiver.

"A quiet yet persistent knock from under the floorboards."
Johnny Reb are a four-piece band from Glasgow. After releasing two demos earlier last year, the Rebs were whisked away by Morrissey's guitarist Boz Boorer to his studios deep in the Portuguese mountains, where they recorded ten songs with Boorer at the helm. Already featured on BBC Radio One and 6Music, their debut album, The Portugal Years, will be released online on Monday 18th April.
The album opens with 'Nine On The Line', slowly introducing the band's recognisable yet unique sound with catchy guitar rhythms and lively vocals. This follows with 'Emile (Part One)', a bow to Benny Paret and Emile Griffith with Dave Ruffy from punk legends The Ruts on tambourine. This shows off the albums festival feel with its fast paced rhythm and chanting chorus, a personal favourite on the album.
'Brown Paper Bag' has Boorer on harmonica; a style close to The Libertines with similar lyrics yet more of an early 70s sound. 'Grace Instinct', written by drummer Felix, then shows the influence of Boorer with a Morrissey feel to the song, really showing off the vocal ability of their frontman.
'The Permanence Of You' again expresses the festival feel to the album with a chorus to sing along to. 'Where Were Spring', which is from their Beady Eye demo, then follows with a faster and catchy guitar riff. This cheerful upbeat sound is persistent throughout the album which makes it an album easy to listen to over and over again.
'Groß Britannia' is a firmly tongue in cheek protest number with a slower pace with a more acoustic feel. 'The Lighting Of The Lamps', a cover of Nutbush City Limits, then follows with a similar style, slowly leading into 'A Year To The Shadows' with high-spirited vocals and beat that you'll tap your feet to; it really does make you look forward to the festivals ahead this summer (it's just a shame they won't be there!).
'Crumbs' ends the album brilliantly with Boorer on saxophone and, again, with a very modernised Pete Doherty style. There's nothing else to say but to have a listen here, it's definitely worth it.

Song Spotlight | It is Well With My Soul
Few hymns in the history of the modern church have had as great an impact on the lives of saints as Horatio Spafford's, "It is Well with My Soul." The theological depth and richness of his lyrics have been revered for over a hundred years, but we can better appreciate their significance when we understand the circumstances that gave rise to them.

Last night I went to see a ballet performance by Ballet Central as part of the Newbury Spring Festival. They danced a mixture of classic and modern short ballets and they were amazing. Usually when I watch a ballet it isn't quite the same they perform to pre-recorded music rather than an orchestra. However in this instance it wasn't the case, the dancers were so good that the music was secondary but there was also a very energetic pianist playing an electric keyboard. It was almost as much fun watching him as it was the ballet. He must have been exhausted by the end of the performance.
This week's work and recording is Swan Lake by Pyotr llyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), one of the great romantic ballets from the ballet repertoire. Swan Lake was commissioned by Vladimir Petrovich Begichev, Director of Moscow Imperial Theatres. It was unusual for an outsider to be commissioned for such a work as the job normally went to musicians who worked for the ballet companies. The scenario usually in four acts was fashioned from Russian folk tales and tells the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse. Premiered by the Bolshoi Ballet on 4th March 1877 it was not well received and Tchaikovsky's masterful score was lost in the debacle of poor performance and a bad production, critics also blamed his score as far too complicated to dance to. Yet the fact remains that the original version survived for six years and 41 performances. Tchaikovsky died in 1893 believing his work to be a failure, however in 1895 it was revived with a new production and became a huge success. Swan Lake with the sheer beauty of it's melodies and the richness of it's orchestral score was recognised as a turning point in ballet music.
Tchaikovsky began taking piano lessons aged five and displayed an early passion for music, but his parents hoped he would grow up to work in the civil service. Aged ten he was sent to boarding school in St. Petersburg which he hated, furthermore his mother, whom he adored, died of cholera when he was fourteen. After a stint working in the Ministry of Justice he became more and more fascinated in music and eventually enrolled in the newly formed St. Petersburg Conservatory. Struggling with pressure from society to surpress his homosexuality, in 1877 he married a young music student Antonina Milynkova. His marriage was a disaster and he left his wife within weeks of the marriage. There followed a nervous breakdown and an attempt at suicide before he fled abroad. He was able to resign from his teaching post at the Moscow Conservatoire thanks to the patronage of a wealthy widow called Nadezhda von Meck who provided him with a monthly allowance for fifteen years. They became great friends but it was stated under the terms of her patronage that they should never meet. Tchaikovsky died in 1893 from cholera although it is rumoured that he committed suicide following a homosexual sex scandal with a member of the Russian aristocracy.
The recording I recommend of Swan Lake is by the high profile Russian conductor Valerie Gergiev and the Orchestra of the Marinsky Theatre of St Petersburg. Gergiev is very charismatic if not hangdog and dishevelled in appearance, he has an extraordinary ability to be in two places at once but is always late! He is General and Artistic Director of the Marinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, he has just recently resigned from being Principal Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra and is shortly to take up the role of Principle Director of the Munich Philharmonic as well as being Artistic Director of a number of important European Festivals. He has recently been in the spotlight due to his ties and support of President Putin which have sparked protests by Gay and Human Rights activists at some of his concerts in the West. However, he devotes himself round the clock to his profession and conducts some 250 concerts per year.
You can either download the complete Swan Lake, or those clever people at Decca have produced a highlights version, so both are listed below as well as the DVD.

text: NORRISTOWN, PA (4/05/04) - Rallying for six runs in the seventh and eighth innings, the Saint Joseph's baseball team (6-26, 1-5 A-10) topped Dayton (12-14, 2-4 A-10), 9-5, to salvage the final game of a three game Atlantic 10 series at Latshaw-McCarthy FIeld. Senior Bill McCollum was 3-4 with four RBI and Jason Tarewicz went 2-3 and scored three runs for the Hawks. SJU tallied a single run in the first inning when senior Jason Tarewicz scored on a groundball, but Dayton tallied twice in the third to go on top 2-1. Chad Liter and Patrick Flynn each drove home runs for UD. The Hawks reclaimed the lead in the fifth, 3-2, tallying a pair of runs. The lead stood for the Hawks until the seventh when Dayton scored three runs to stake itself a 5-3 advantage. A two run single by Tom Beechem was the key blow for the Flyers. The Crimson and Gray responded with a pair of runs in the home half of the seventh to knot the game at 5-5. After the Flyers failed to score in the top of the eighth, SJU erupted for four runs in the home half of the frame to take the lead for good. UD starter Craig Stammen who had pitched seven strong innings allowed a leadoff single to Greg Mason and then was replaced by Kyle Lindsay. Jake Iampietro followed with a sacrifice bunt back to Lindsay, but he bobbled the ball allowing both runners to reach. After a strikeout, a passed ball advanced the runners to second and third with one out. An intentional walk loaded the bases and an unintentional walk to Tarewicz forced home the lead run. A two-run single by McCollum brought home two more runs and a sacrifice fly drove home the final tally. Both team's starters pitched into the eighth inning. Junior Al Bruan went 7.1 for SJU, allowing five runs on 11 hits, but got the no decision. Sophomore Jason Volker (2-4) gave up just one hit over the final 1.2 innings to earn the win in relief. Stammen (0-3) was the tough luck loser surrendering nine hits and six runs (4 earned). Lindsay gave up one hit and three runs (1 earned) in one inning. In addition to McCollum and Tarewicz, Mason had a pair of hits and scored two runs. Beechem was 1-3 with two runs and two RBI for Dayton, while Liter was 2-4 with a couple of RBI. SJU returns to the diamond on Tuesday, traveling to play Villanova.

If human ears could hear the electromagnetic spectrum, the noise levels these days would be overwhelming. The skyrocketing use of wireless devices in military and civilian domains has created a complicated and noisy environment, filled with signals of widely varying frequency and amplitude and a menagerie of modulations. For warfighters trying to maintain critical communications links, interpret ambiguous radar returns, or defend against electronic warfare tactics, the ability to sort through that thicket of waveforms is essential - to identify where key signals are coming from, what kind of signals they are, and how best to send and receive information via the least contested spectral bands.
In light of this problem, DARPA recently hosted the Battle of the ModRecs - a low-key competitive opportunity for engineers with a penchant for antennas and algorithms to test their skills in modulation recognition. DARPA wants scientists and engineers to rethink conventional approaches and advance the technology to new heights, so it will function dynamically and with precision - not just under laboratory conditions but in real-world scenarios.
Held for a few days in conjunction with the IEEE DySPAN conference in Baltimore, where DARPA program manager Tom Rondeau and staffers created a sort of pop-up spectrum testbed, the Battle put hand-coded, expert systems against newer, experimental systems designed to take advantage of recent advances in machine learning.
In this realistic scenario with complex waveforms, the hand-coded systems performed better than the machine-learning systems. They now have a better understanding of the state of the art and which directions to explore as they pursue their goal of more effectively managing the spectrum.
The Baltimore event was one of several related exercises planned for this year. A February hackfest hosted in Brussels, for example, focused on radio interference, and an upcoming event in the San Francisco Bay Area will focus on unmanned aerial vehicles. Through these efforts and a variety of ongoing DARPA programs, including the Spectrum Collaboration Challenge that program manager Paul Tilghman is overseeing. DARPA aims to build an improved technological capacity for spectrum-related situational awareness and help U.S. forces make better use of this powerful but limited electromagnetic resource.

STA-017 1/288 International Space Station model kit
Special order
STA-017 1/288 International Space Station model kit
More than 40 space flights over five years and at least three space vehicles — the space shuttle, the Russian Soyuz rocket and the Russian Proton rocket — will deliver the various space station components to Earth orbit. Assembly of the more than 100 components will require a combination of human space walks and robot technologies.
Thirteen flights, which includes 10 space shuttle missions, have already occurred in the International Space Station era. The first flight was a Russian Proton rocket that lifted off in November 1998 and placed the Zarya module in orbit. In early December of that same year, the STS-88 mission saw Space Shuttle Endeavour attach the Unity module to Zarya initiating the first ISS assembly sequence. The third ISS mission was STS-96 in June 1999 with Discovery supplying the two modules with tools and cranes.
The fourth flight to the space station was STS-101, which launched May 19, 2000. The seven-member crew of STS-101 performed maintenance tasks and delivered supplies in preparation for the arrival of the Zvezda Service Module and the station's first permanent crew. Zvezda, the fifth flight, docked with the station on July 25 at 7:45 p.m. CDT, or July 26 at 00:45 GMT, and became the third major component of the station. Then, STS-106 visited the station in September to deliver supplies and outfit Zvezda in preparation for the station's first permanent crew, which arrived at the station on Nov. 2. Prior to the Expedition One crew's arrival, STS-92 delivered the Z1 Truss, Pressurized Mating Adapter 3 and four Control Moment Gyros in October.
STS-97 was the last shuttle mission of the 20th century. Space Shuttle Endeavour and its five-member crew installed the first set of U.S. solar arrays onto the station and became the first shuttle crew to visit Expedition One. The solar arrays set the stage for the arrival of the U.S. Destiny Laboratory Module, which arrived at the station in February 2001 on STS-98. The five STS-98 astronauts also relocated Pressurized Mating Adapter 2 from the end of Unity to the end of Destiny to set the stage for future shuttle missions.
In March 2001, the first crew rotation flight arrived. STS-102 delivered the Expedition Two crew to the station and returned Expedition One to Earth. Also, STS-102 carried the first Multi-Purpose Logistics Module, Leonardo, to the station. Logistics modules are reusable cargo carriers built by the Italian Space Agency. Expedition One spent 4.5 months on the station.
STS-100 delivered the station's robot arm, which is also known as the Space Station Remote Manipulator System, and the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module in April. The delivery of the arm set the stage for the arrival of the station's joint airlock, which was installed during STS-104's visit to the station in July 2001.
The shuttle mission to visit the station is STS-105 in mid-August. Onboard Space Shuttle Discovery will be the Expedition Three crew. Expedition Two will return to Earth with STS-105. ISS expansion will continue with the arrival of the Russian Docking Compartment, which is slated to launch in September 2001 on a Soyuz rocket.
The United States and Russia have partnered together since 1994 performing nine Shuttle-Mir dockings. That experience provided valuable insight and team work necessary for building and maintaining the International Space Station.
When the space station is completed an international crew of up to seven will live and work in space between three and six months. Crew return vehicles will always be attached to the space station to ensure the safe return of all crewmembers in the event of an emergency.

I will not ever purchase another protection plan from Walmart ever again. I purchased a plan for my phone june 2013 .
I filed a claim june 11 2014. I was told 24 to 72 hours after having my label scanned i would have my reimbursement sent to my email. It is now July 9, 2014. No refund.
I have called them at least 15 times. Each time i call, its a different lie. First it was because of the holiday then it was the weekend then they claim to have the wrong address which was a lie. I will never recommend this to not a soul on earth.
It is pathetic that i will have to file a small claims suit but i will because unlike Walmart and asurion i dont have a money tree on my balcony to shake. All i wanted was to get a new phone . Now I've paid my bill for the month for nothing because I can't use my phone.
Ridiculous I tell u. A shame.

You guyssss...I'm back! Did you miss me?
Needless to say, my little break from social media was wonderful. I cooled down on twitter and instagram and snapchat, all the things. I feel refreshed and renewed! When you get to a point where blogging becomes more of a chore than for fun, you know it's time to shutdown for a few weeks. I've done this several times since starting this blog back in 2013, especially when I'm just feeling less than creative and the inspiration doesn't seem to be flowing.
Behind the scenes I was reshaping this space and getting back to a simpler setup where all I need to worry about are my blog posts. I've decided to strip away the freelance unless something awesome comes my way or someone really convinces me to help them out with design work. It became too much for me and I barely had time to sleep! So here you'll find..basically, just my blog. And that's it! Of course my shop, about page, and contact info as well. But I'm excited to do without all the fuss and just focus on my full time job here in DC and blogging (on my own schedule). A newly structure about page is up, along with an updated shop for your to browse.
I'm so pumped for summer activities, parties, weddings, etc. etc. And I cannot wait to get back to dedicating some time to this space. I'm hoping to hop back into social media across the board as well. Especially snapchat (because, so fun!). As for my comeback post, here are a few things I currently have my eye on. Happy Monday! May the force be with you.

I know your mother said you should never leave the house without clean underwear, but I don't think she meant that to be the ONLY requirement!
I was at the mall the other day – the center of fashion…Talbots to my right, J. Jill to my left…Lucky Jeans, Nordstrom's, Macy's. With all that fashion in all those windows you wouldn't believe what I saw. People walking around in lounge pants and t-shirts…baggy sweatpants with baseball caps – and these are the girls I'm talking about. And what's worse, none of them were wearing make up!
Really, people! Can you put in just a little effort before you leave the house? It's true that the clothes you wear make a statement about you. But it's not the brand names that do the talking. It's how you present yourself to the world. So what if you don't have a boat load of money, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about taking pride in how you look. I agree the grocery store is not a fashion runway, but neither is it your bedroom – it's not a place for lounge pants and a t-shirt!
I'm not a fashionista, but every time I leave the house I look like I've made an effort. I have made an effort! My clothes are neat and clean and fit me well. I think they accentuate the parts of me I like best and hide my flaws. I've learned that someone with my shape should stay away from horizontal stripes, and that turtlenecks make me look like I don't have one at all. I take the time to accessorize and always put on a little make up. It's not about dressing up for others – it's about respecting yourself.
So yes, put on that clean underwear. But do your mama proud and make a little extra effort before heading to the grocery store this weekend!

text: The National Trust gets money from from legacies, subscriptions and entrance fees. It owns large areas of land to which the public have free access and it has many ambitious development projects which require funds. Some properties consume funds and others generate funds. I think Nymans must appear in the accounts as 'a nice little earner'. It is not a very wonderful garden but it is remarkably popular, partly because of its motorway-side location. The woods are beautiful and the sign outside the entrance is mean: 'Car Park Closes Today at 5pm'. One can hardly enjoy a late afternoon stroll in the woods while worrying about one's car being impounded for the night. Another surprising aspect of the Nymans regime is the large garden centre. It is very well designed and run but it is almost on the scale of a retail park. Since the planting in the garden is not very well managed, my thoughts about Nymans are that, if it is generating as a big profit, more of this money should be spent on managing the garden and extending the opening hours into the evening. Those who give should also receive.

Because of this we take a bit of heat from time to time as our readers are not convinced we are bringing them the really best Bukkake semen swallowing movies. But today we have something that is just too fine to ignore, take a look at the epic episode that's Dentist Mate shot Shot Drinking Gal.

Just as there is no such thing as the perfect camera settings, there is no definitive road to being a professional photographer. It varies for everyone based on what they're specific goals are.
I recently read a quote from Amanda Palmer who put it rather succinctly.
"There's no correct path to becoming a real artist. You might think you'll gain legitimacy by going to university, getting published, getting signed to a record label. But it's all bullshit, and it's all in your head. You're an artist when you say you are. And you're a good artist when you make somebody else experience or feel something deep or unexpected."
Once you are in the business, it helps to form your own guidelines to navigate the peaks and valleys of the industry. Sticking with the no-nonsense theme, I came across Molly Crabapple's "15 rules for creative success in the Internet age". Her insight comes from over eight years of professional experience as a successful artist. While the entire piece is worth reading, and re-reading, one of my favorites is #5.
"I've never had a big break. I've just had tiny cracks in this wall of indifference until finally the wall wasn't there any more."
Check out the entire piece here.
As for the title, it's an homage to the fabulous song from Mates of State. Enjoy!

Afternoon Tea & The Rosebery Lounge
Last weekend I had the pleasure of visiting The Rosebery Lounge, a gorgeous Afternoon Tea spot tucked away in the charming Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Knightsbridge. Myself and Iona (my photographer) arrived and straight away the lovely door men outside helped us with our bags up the stairs and into the hotel, we had every door we stepped through opened for us, and I can honestly say we were treated like royalty from start to finish. The hotel was absolutely stunning, the floors and walls were a rich blood orange marble, any blogger would agree that marble is definitely a desired interior never mind an iPhone case..
We were lead into The Rosebery Lounge where the ceilings were high and the smell of fresh scones oozed from the kitchen. I know it sounds silly but I am always that customer in a restaurant that gets fussy about where I sit, it can really affect your experience in a restaurant (in my opinion) that being said, we were sat in front of a huge window on looking knightsbridge in the comfiest green velvet arm chairs, I felt like we'd accidentally stepped into a Disney book ..it was so charming.
The waiter alerted us that our Afternoon Tea was on its way and brought over a metal tree and placed it by our table, now this was my favourite part..the Afternoon Tea came out and was hung on one of the tree branches as if it were a bird cage- it was quiet exquisite.
Before we knew it we were sipping on Champagne and tucking into all sorts of cakes, scones and sandwiches leading ourselves into a comfortable slouch. We grazed for about 2 1/2 hours, because we quiet frankly didn't want to leave! The service was exceptional, the staff made you feel like you were being looked after and if there was anything you needed they were only an eye glance away. I visited the Ritz with my family last Christmas and I have to say The Rosebery over exceeded my expectations and out did The Ritz by a mile, just when I thought I had experienced the best.. I was pleasantly proven wrong.

Special Tissue Processing
There are processing protocols for every special tissue technique. Some of the more common protocols have been created for tissue that is to be studied for gout. This processing technique must omit all stations that contain water, since water will dissolve the sodium urate crystals. Aqueous formalin fixative, 70% and 95% alcohols will be omitted, therefore, the process begins with 100% alcohol.
Biopsies that require rapid diagnosis, such as liver and kidney cores, can be processed quickly since they are only 1-2 mm thick. The processing time is almost half of the standard biopsy protocol, or about 3 hours. For a biopsy that was taken at 9:00 AM, the pathologist can have a diagnosis by 3:30 PM. That is much faster than the standard 24-hours that routine tissue requires for fixation, processing, and staining.

We are talking to the Lawyer and will consult Murthy law firm based on his response. However, I-485 was incorrectly classified as EB2, then it shouldn't have been accepted in first place because the PD for EB2 at the time of our I-485 submission was sometime in 2008 which is far from our PD (Nov-5-2015) . Moreover, in I-485 form itself, there is no place to specify the classification(EB1/EB2). We just mention the underlying petition number which mentioned as the one pertaining to EB1.
Thanks Shurap1 for your response.. Appreciate it. I checked the A number , they are same for both I-140 approvals as well as all other applications I-485 & I-131. However , when we filed for AOS application this year, the service center made a typo error for preference classification as EB2 instead of EB1 in the I-485 receipt number. Do you think that might be an issue? However , later USCIS acknowledged that it was a typo and should be resolved at the time of interview. We have a lawyer assigned to us by our company who keeps saying to wait until there is any correspondence from USCIS and advised us not to contact USCIS directly as he is the attorney of record. In short , he is just sitting and waiting (for anything from USCIS). However I am worried that Visa quotas will again get over for FY 2019 soon and therefore I would like to get this issue resolved ASAP. When we call USCIS Tier 2 officer , they say State dept gives them directions on Visa number allotment . I am not sure how to contact state dept and if they will ever respond even if we contact them. We are kind of stuck . Any further suggestions to resolve this "Silly" but important issue will be appreciated. Thanks.
There is no change in Final Action date for EB1 in India in October 2018 and Nov 2018 visa bulletin. Its the same which is Jun-1-2016.

Confusion Regarding Priority Dates
deharry posted a topic in AOS & CP : GeneralHi,We have had two I-140's approved1 . EB2 - With Priority date (PD) - Nov-5-2015 2 . EB1 - With Priority date - July-1-2017The chargeability country is India. We attended our AOS interview on Oct-31-2018 where the Interview Officer agreed that PD that will apply to our case is Nov-5-2015 however his supervisor did not agree with the same. We called the Tier 2 officer today where she informed that visa number for our case is Regressed which did not make sense because as of Nov-1-2018, the final action date for EB1 India is Jun-1-2016. Please advise what should be our next course of action here.Thanks
H1b Cap Exempt and Transfer
deharry replied to deharry's topic in H1B : GeneralI am not sure if Understand Point # 1. Can you please clarify a bit on new interpretation? This is what I got from USCIS website. "UPDATE: USCIS has reached the congressionally mandated H-1B cap for fiscal year (FY) 2016. We have received more than the limit of 20,000 H-1B petitions filed under the U.S. advanced degree exemption. USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap. Petitions filed on behalf of current H-1B workers who have been counted previously against the cap, and who still retain their cap number, will also not be counted toward the congressionally mandated FY 2016 H-1B cap. Cap Eligible PetitionsThis is the number of petitions that USCIS has accepted for this particular type of cap. It includes cases that have been approved or are still pending. It does not include petitions that have been denied.
H1b Cap Exempt and Transfer
deharry posted a topic in H1B : GeneralHi, I got my H1b Petition approved but could not join the company because of my personal reasons. On Oct 1, I went out of the country and re-entered to maintain my current status (L1) . I have the receipt number for h1b filing and here is my query. 1. Can I be considered under Cap Exempt Category? 2. If Yes, then do I need I-129S and I-797 from abandoned H1b approval for any other employer to file for H1b petition under cap exempt? 3. Can FOIA act help get these documents ? Thanks, deharry

40. She's Ready!
This is a turning point in many people's lives, a birthday that feels really big, and not everyone feels good about it. Here are Bessie's thoughts on turning 40:
"I'm proud of my age. When I think of how many hats I've worn in all that time, how many things I've set out to do, whether I've succeeded or not, they are measures of my life so far. They are reminders of how much has yet to happen, of how old and how young I am.
My feelings about aging have not changed, we wear our signs of aging like badges of honor, but not all. Some make us feel that we are looking older than we feel. I'm glad I don't look twenty years old, I'm glad it's believable that I'm 40. However, I'm proud that I look good for 40."
One of the most common questions Bessie gets on a daily basis is...
"What do you do?"
In the spirit of feeling fabulous at 40, she wanted to share her regimen.
- Dysport everywhere
- Restylane and Voluma fillers in her cheeks
- SkinMedica Foaming Cleanser
- Lytera 2.0
- TNS Essential Serum
- iLike Rosehip Whipped Moisturizer, sometimes she mixes in Hylunia Calming Face Oil.
- iLike St. Johns Wort Eye Contour Cream

Inspirational Accounts For Your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn
A little Social Media Inspiration is not only useful, but important. One of the best ways to spur inspiration for your own social media channels is to look at other, massively successful Social Media feeds in your field. Here are four inspirational Social Media feeds (one for each of the key channels) who are killing it. Make sure you're following these:
Facebook – Nutella
Creative, aesthetic, sharable and fun are four words to describe Nutella's Social Strategy for Facebook. They are four words most brands should also look to install for themselves. From Nutella-spread Christmas pancakes (timely, creative and sharable), to plenty of engagement-provoking videos and questions, Nutella have their Social Media nailed down. Admittedly, it's easier to sell Nutella than it is an insurance firm or construction company, but the fundamentals remain the same.
Twitter – Starbucks
Starbucks respond to most of their tweets (not bad for an account with over 11 million followers), post plenty of appetising gifs, videos and pictures that, well, make us all want to go get a coffee. The human touch and personality shines through in their feed – perhaps the biggest takeaway tip.
Instagram – Charity Water
Storytelling and positivity are two essential elements to successful Social Media. Charity Water combine the two with their inspirational, interesting and literally life-saving Instagram feed.
LinkedIn – Mashable
LinkedIn is harder to grow organically, subsequently increasing the importance on your content. Mashable have the content-side of Social nailed down to a tee. With genuinely interesting, captivating short videos and images which are relevant to today's news, Mashable's LinkedIn is full of sharable posts – no wonder they have nearly one million followers.

In Cosmopolitan's Mila Kunis cover feature, the actress says tabloid news has caused her and her family intense amounts of stress over the years.
Mila Kunis will be featuring the cover of Cosmopolitan in August. The actress, who does not do interviews or magazine covers often, took the opportunity to denounce tabloid media. She talked about the negative impact of press looking into her life, especially considering her family often buys into the fake news.
She stressed that she does not read anything about herself, saying, "I don't read anything about myself. I genuinely don't know what's written about me…other than I know that I'm pregnant about once a year and my husband and I are getting a divorce once a year. I know this because I go down the grocery store aisle, and I see it on the cover of magazines and I'm like, Oh boy, okay!…"
She also said that while she does not care about what tabloids say about her, it is upsetting to see her parents and other family members often believing fake stories, especially when they have to do with her health and wellbeing. She said such fake news has often been a source of stress in her personal life.
She explained, "The only thing that's upsetting is my parents and my grandparents sometimes get confused… At one point when I was pregnant, [the tabloids] said that I had an emergency and was rushed to the hospital, and my face was on the cover. The amount of stress that caused my family, nobody will understand. Although my dad is always very hopeful that the pregnancies are true. He's always like, 'Is there really another?'"
She also talked about her social media usage, saying she was late to the game and did not understand the purpose of social media for the longest time. She explained how she eventually started using it, "I was so late to that train. I remember at some point my roommate was like, 'You know, there's a thing called Facebook,' and I was like, 'What is this Facebook? Who's gonna poke each other? That's just weird.'"
Her husband Ashton Kutcher has always been social media savvy, but Kunis says even he retreated after it became ugly and all about upping one another. She explained, "He used to be incredibly forward-thinking with social media, when the intent was to connect to people. But it took an ugly turn and became all about who can be the loudest, who can be the angriest and the most negative. Then it's just not a fun game to play."
Kunis will also be talking about her acting and production dreams as well as other future plans in the new interview. She said that when she sat down to write out her 5 year plan, she realized she was not pushing herself enough. Therefore, she decided to think bigger than before, realizing, "I just want to be happy. I know that sounds incredibly lame, but I never want to stop learning or being challenged, and I never want to stop challenging my partner. I think that those things will always lead to some form of success."
Kunis starred in 2016 comedy film Bad Moms alongside Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn.

In the ArgoUML project we are hoping that we will be able to take part in Google Summer of Code 2010. In 2006, 2007, and 2008 we had a lot of students that improved ArgoUML and vitalised the project.
1. Project ideas
1.1. ArgoUML towards UML 2.0
ArgoUML needs to be changed to support UML 2.0.
ArgoUML is still based on an UML 1.* model while some work has been done to support the euml backend. Moving all the way to euml will make ArgoUML compatible with the whole range of euml-based tools i.e. all Eclipse-based UML tools.
There are several challenges in this area such as:
- Update of existing diagrams with new UML 2.0 constructs.
- Addition of new UML 2.0 diagrams.
- Tool for converting UML 1.4 models.
- Add UML 2.0 features to code generators.
- Store diagrams using the UML 2 Diagrams format.
A couple of these challenges could be chosen combined into a project or made into projects for themselves.
1.2. Moving ArgoUML to Eclipse - RCP
A lot of work has gone into moving ArgoUML to and Eclipse-based platform (see the ArgoEclipse project). Also GSoC projects from previous years have been successful in improving this. What is still missing is the integration with the software update mechanism in the RCP version of ArgoEclipse.
This work includes:
Getting the auto-update function from Eclipse to work in the RCP version of ArgoEclipse.
Fixing all available ArgoUML modules to work with ArgoEclipse.
- If possible getting the module discovery, installation, and update mechanism to work with the non RCP version of ArgoUML.
2. The Students we are looking for
We are looking for enthusiastic students with a solid knowledge of Java, who are interested in software development tools and modeling, particularly the UML modeling language. Most, although not all, tasks will be easier for those who already have an working knowledge of the OMG's UML.
3. The projects we are looking for
This page include a list of suggested projects that the development team has thought of, but we are happy to consider projects which are not listed here.
If you'd like to suggest a different project, please discuss it previously with the team on the developers' mailing list so that you can develop the strongest possible proposal for evaluation. Our bug database (Issuezilla) could be used as inspiration.
4. Quick intro of general information in the project
This wiki contains a lot of information on the design of ArgoUML and how we work in the project. The Cookbook was used before this wiki and is entirely migrated into the wiki so it is presumably less updated.
All discussions about the ArgoUML project, the ideas above, and other ideas, are kept at the developers' mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com that also is available as a discussion forum on this site (at http://argouml.tigris.org/ds/viewForumSummary.do?dsForumId=450). Join the list on the web site and start your discussions there. Your first posting will have to be manually approved so be patient.

Perry Rine
|With Schneider
|Since 1990
|Moundsville, WV
|Miles on the road
|Can't live without
|Coffee mug
Unlike most people, Perry Rine always knew what he wanted to be when he grew up … a truck driver.
"I have been interested in trucking since grade school; it always made my list of top professions."
After Perry finished school, he took a slight detour from his dream job. He was active in the Army as a motor transport operator for three years. Following his duty, Perry was talking to a friend, a Schneider driver at the time, who reintroduced the idea of trucking to him.
"I figured now was the time. I have served my country, I might as well see some of it."
What drew Perry to Schneider?
"I wanted to drive for a reputable company and stay at that company, have stability and not bounce around. Schneider offers job security while still providing room for growth within the company. Schneider also takes great pride in its dedication to safety, training and investment in technology."
The Switch from Over-the-Road to a Tanker Driver
Perry joined Schneider in 1990 as an Over-the-Road driver but recently made the switch to the Tanker division.
"I was able to make a career move without leaving the company. This felt like an advancement for me."
The switch from Van Truckload to Tanker was a new challenge for Perry.
"I felt like a rookie again, but I love how the Tanker division is very involved and specialized. With Tanker, there is no room for error – you have to get it right the first time. On the plus side, the trailer is shorter and you can see around it, making it easier to park."
Why Perry Has Stayed
Why is Perry still with Schneider after more than two decades? For Perry it is all about the company's commitment to safety and its people. He loves that Schneider is a family-orientated company and places importance on getting their drivers home to their families. Perry also values that Schneider has an endless amount of opportunities for him to adventure into without having to leave the company.
"I am required to participate in ongoing trainings, and I welcome this. These trainings challenge me and help me remain engaged as a driver. Schneider also has an amazing network of support – you are out there driving by yourself but never feel like you are on your own. I wouldn't drive anywhere else."
Truck Driving is a Way of Life
Perry is in trucking for the long haul.
"I joke around that I have been in a relationship with Schneider longer than I have been with my lovely wife of 20 years. I feel that Schneider attracts honest people who have integrity and treat others with respect. At the end of the day, I don't consider truck driving a career, I consider it a way of life."
The opportunities are endless.
See all driving opportunities Schneider has to offer and which ones could fit with your lifestyle and career goals.
Do you have any questions about driving for Schneider? Comment below.

So the new Doctor Who is female.
This has, as you can perhaps imagine, generated a deluge of responses on that great and reasoned platform for discussion, social media. I have seen responses ranging from someone saying quite plainly and simply that they now have little interesting in watching the show if it has a female lead – which while disappointing is, at least, honest – to the response of 'as a father of daughters, I approve'.
That last comment, for reference, was made by Colin Baker, the sixth Doctor Who.
For my money, I think that that new incumbent, Jodie Whittaker, is an excellent actress and I look forward to seeing if she can bring something new to the show. I hope, most sincerely, that the writing improves to do her talent justice, because the writing has been so horribly hit and miss since the show's revival.
But of course, people are conveniently avoiding that discussion. Right now, it's more about the gender issue. I have seen people on both sides of the divide saying some fairly horrendous things about the other side. It was curious to note just how many women were seemingly against the decision. Now, I'm sure that one of those reasons might well be that 'women like to enjoy looking at pretty boys', but let's be honest, with the exception of David Tennant, none of the 'New Who' actors have been eye candy, have they? No. All that effort went into pretty, vapid assistants.
The fact that the last companion, Bill, was gay upset a lot of men. It's the Doctor Who production team's endless agenda, they cried. I found Bill to be one of the most enjoyable companions of the New Who to date (although still nowhere near the brilliance that was Catherine Tate).
So the eye candy argument is obviously a thing, although not one I particularly care to subscribe to. For me, my biggest concern as a woman is that Jodie Whittaker will be used as a scapegoat if the writing doesn't improve. "Of course it's crap," someone will say, a little further down the road. "There's a female Doctor."
I believe the writers may have erred by banging the Missy/Master drum just a little too loud during the last series. All the heavy hinting that #13 would be woman ('perhaps the future is all female', 'let's hope so' is hardly subtle) meant that when Jodie's announcement came, it was less of a shock, but every bit as controversial.
The time is right for change, says one section of the internet – men and women alike. A Doctor to represent the changing face of society.
Women can't fly spaceships, argues another section of the internet. A woman can't solve the kind of issues the Doctor faces, they continue, even though we all stopped listening after their first declaration. Their comments slither like little poisonous snakes into every discussion on the topic. Doctor Who can't be a woman. It's the worst thing ever. The entire economy of the first world is going to collapse as a result of this farcical decision.
Alright, perhaps that last bit is me being facetious, but you get the idea.
And then there was this comment.
She's not even that hot. They could have cast someone better-looking.
What. The. Actual. Fuck? (That one WAS a male comment, by the way. I suspect that Bill would have disagreed and part of me hopes that #13 gets to meet Bill in some form. I have this lovely thought in my head that the Doctor's regenerations are somehow influenced by the time they spend with their companions).
People are passionate about fandoms, I get that and I understand it. But when the line is crossed, when it stops being about the fandom and starts becoming personal, then there's a massive, massive issue.
I have experienced this – on a minute scale – when I was contributing to the Warhammer pantheon of tales. Let me caveat this from the start with the statement that the majority of feedback, reviews and comments I received from the beginning were overwhelmingly positive. Even though I'm not writing for BL now, I still love the setting and the people.
Positive things included the two girls at Games Day who said that thanks to me, they felt like they could have a go at writing sci-fi/fantasy stuff. The shop manager who told me he liked it when I visited the shop, because it made other female customers feel less intimidated about coming in. All the friends I've made.
But there were… horrible things. I have long since deleted the toxic forum and Facebook PMs, Tweets and so forth I received over the time I wrote for the Black Library because believe you me, nobody needs that in their life. But you don't forget them.
Let me give you a sampler of some of the things that were said to me. They seem oddly comical when taken out of context, but I want you to appreciate that they were most definitely not meant to be. They were the choice phrases out of what were bodies of aggressive text.
"I see you are writing for BL. Don't. It doesn't need women's points of view."
"Unless Space Marines start having periods, there's no need for you to write stories."
"So I suppose they'll all be handsome, now, then."
"What do you know about being a Space Marine?" I've often wondered about this. Who DOES know about being a fictional, genetically-enhanced superhuman?
And those were just the things directly attributed to the writing. There were more personal comments, too, which I'm not going to repeat here, but suffice it to say that they weren't pleasant ones.
I stood behind two guys in Waterstones back when The Gildar Rift was first released. One was reading the back-cover blurb and I was watching, feeling that strange sense of delight that comes when watching someone look at your baby. Then his friend tapped on the cover.
"Wouldn't bother," he said. "Written by a woman, innit?"
The baby was put back on the shelf.
I didn't say anything, of course I didn't. In hindsight, I probably still wouldn't have said anything. But I was…
Whatever that feeling is, I felt it.
In any fandom, there is an element of toxicity. When it bubbles to the surface, it reveals an ugly, unpleasant side to what should be something enjoyable. It's the same with Doctor Who. I think Jodie Whittaker is going to have a lot worse than I did and I'm embarrassed on behalf of those of us who love the show and its concepts. I'm ashamed on behalf of my own species, both male and female who are so vehemently against her taking the role and who have condemned her before she's even had a chance.
She won't be in for an easy ride. She's smart, however, and isn't on Twitter. I dread to think what sort of abuse and threats would have been hurled her way already. That is not right in anybody's books. If you think threatening and insulting someone just because they've got the wrong chromosomes for your beloved fandom, then frankly, sling your hook.
I think, given the right scripts and an appropriate companion (alien would be brilliant), she will prove people quite wrong. She will open up the fandom to a new generation of little girls who can have a fantastic role model.
Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong at all.
Good luck, Jodie. SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT.

Severe Turbulence Event on Continental 128
Posted on 04. Aug, 2009 by Chip in Featured
Continental Flight 128 had a severe turbulence event over the Atlantic Ocean. Like Air France Flight 447, Rio de Janeiro was the origination city. The flight diverted and made an emergency landing in Miami. Twenty-six passengers were injured; fourteen were taken to the hospital. The event was without warning. That is why you always wear your seat belt while flying. Turbulence is the number one cause of injury to airline passengers. The incident aircraft was a Boeing 767; no damage reports have been released.
