I have to post about this because, honestly, the more I read the angrier I get, and people everywhere react so hatefully to what is simply a lifestyle choice! I figure that if only one person reads this and leaves more informed, this post will have been worth something.
So! Veganism!
Vegans are generally labeled as crazy hippie health nuts and mocked. They are also told that they are starving themselves, unhealthy, welcoming osteoporosis, B-12 deficiencies, and protein deficiencies. They are told that they are shunning the perfect food for humans and embracing poison (okay, that judgment generally comes from Atkins converts). They are assumed to be scrawny, pale, and sickly-looking. Added to that, they are also seen as, essentially, terrorists. They are lumped together with all violent vegan animal rights fighters the way Muslims were lumped into the "terrorist" category right after 9/11 . And, when they are not fighting these labels, they are perceived as snotty, holier-than-thou, annoying, stupid, and malnourished. What's a vegan girl to do?
First of all, she's going to delve into explanations.
I made my choice primarily because of health reasons. Fruits and vegetables are the best food a human being can possibly ingest; combined, they contain all essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins, protein, and amino acids. Some typical deficiencies we are accused of include:
- Vitamin B-12, necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system and brain, was available from plants before we began washing and cleaning them so thoroughly. Now, we can get all we need from nutritional yeast, spirulina, and fortified foods like soymilk; we don't need supplements at all.
- Protein, among other things, transports substances throughout the body, produces enzymes, and helps cell growth, repair, and replacement. Contrary to the "normal" conception, widely available sources of protein exist in vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, whole grains, and soy. However, too much protein is seriously dangerous. It leaches calcium and other minerals from our bodies, leading to osteoporosis, impairs the kidneys, and accelerates aging! The longest-lived people are widely acknowledged to be the traditional Japanese. They do not overdose on animal protein. They eat fruits, vegetables, sea vegetables, rice, fish, and tofu. Traditionally, they do not eat massive amounts of animal flesh. Yet they live longer. Coincidence? Nope.
- Calcium keeps bones, nails, and teeth strong; the loss of calcium is linked to osteoporosis, which is a horrific condition. Dairy is the most widely acknowledged source of calcium. However, dairy also has a huge amount of protein in it, because it is specifically designed to grow a 40-pound calf into a 2,000-pound cow. It has so much protein in it that it truly does leach calcium from your bones. Vegans get their calcium from foods with a normal, low amount of protein in them like broccoli, leafy green vegetables, sprouts, garbanzo beans, molasses, soy, kale, collard greens, and nuts. Unless we do not plan our diets well, we do not suffer from calcium deficiencies.
- Vitamin D, which kicks calcium into action, is easily available from the sun--which is easily said, but the sun is not comfortable to bask in all year-round, and we also tend to protect ourselves with sunscreen to avoid skin cancer. If I had a private garden or balcony, I would lie nude in the sun in mid-morning, before the rays get too hot and damaging, for about fifteen minutes. I don't have a private outside area, so I take morning walks in the spring, summer, and fall wearing shorts and tank tops. Milk is not a good natural source of vitamin D, because it has to be fortified. You can buy supplemented vegan foods if you absolutely need to; you don't need fortified milk.
- Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids: found in nuts and seeds and their unrefined oils, along with borage oil and evening primrose oil. Fatty salmon is by no means necessary to the human diet.
Why not? Let's look at the most common arguments:
1. We have sharp canines! They are there to chew meat!
Compare your canines to those of, say, a cat or a lion. Do you really think that your puny, flat teeth qualify as canines? Please! Carnivores' teeth are there to tear off meat and swallow it. They don't spent time chewing. Their jaws function like a pair of scissors: they literally shear the flesh off with their teeth and swallow it. Like herbivores, humans chew their food in a side-to-side circular motion so they can break it down before they swallow to release the digestive enzymes. Carnivores don't need to. Our canines are pathetic but excellent for eating fruits and vegetables.
2. We evolved to eat meat. We're omnivores. Our systems can clearly handle it! We're meant to eat meat!
I cannot believe the ignorance of this argument. In order to digest meat, our stomachs use hydrochloric acid, which is indeed present in our stomachs. However, carnivores and omnivores have up to 10 times as much acid. The pH of their stomachs is generally 1 or less than 1 without food. If ours drops below 4 or 5 without food, it's time for medical intervention. We can technically digest meat, but it takes a whole lot longer. Additionally, carnivores and omnivores have a comparatively small digestive system; their small intestines are 3-5 times the length of their bodies. Their stomachs are large, which allows them to kill about once a week and then spend the rest of that time processing the food. Herbivores' and humans' small intestines are 10-12 times the length of our bodies. We are told to eat at least twice to three times a day. Some people, especially elderly people, eat five times. We have to have intestines that long because of the difficulty of breaking down fiber and to allow for adequate nutrient absorption.
Omnivores, across the board, are more similar to carnivores than to herbivores. Bears and raccoons can accurately be described as carnivores with a primitive digestive system who have adapted to a herbivorous diet. Many scientists believe that bears hibernate because their primary source of food (they are 70-80% herbivorous) is not available in the winter. In support of this theory of hibernation because of food unavailability, polar bears (who have no access to plants) hibernate in the summer, when seals cannot be hunted.
The Comparative Anatomy of Eating, by Milton R. Mills, M.D., explains all this at length and in detail, and this chart summarizes individual points excellently:
Jaw Type
Carnivore: Angle not expanded
Herbivore: Expanded angle
Omnivore: Angle not expanded
Human: Expanded angle
Jaw Motion
Carnivore: Shearing; minimal side-to-side motion
Herbivore: No shear; good side-to-side, front-to-back
Omnivore: Shearing; minimal side-to-side
Human: No shear; good side-to-side, front-to-back
Teeth (Canines)
Carnivore: Long, sharp, and curved
Herbivore: Dull and short or long (for defense), or none
Omnivore: Long, sharp and curved
Human: Short and blunted
Stomach Capacity
Carnivore: 60% to 70% of total volume of digestive tract
Herbivore: Less than 30% of total volume of digestive tract
Omnivore: 60% to 70% of total volume of digestive tract
Human: 21% to 27% of total volume of digestive tract
Stomach Acidity
Carnivore: Less than or equal to pH 1 with food in stomach
Herbivore: pH 4 to 5 with food in stomach
Omnivore: Less than or equal to pH 1 with food in stomach
Human: pH 4 to 5 with food in stomach
Length of Small Intestine
Carnivore: 3 to 6 times body length
Herbivore: 10 to more than 12 times body length
Omnivore: 4 to 6 times body length
Human: 10 to 11 times body length
In conclusion, our systems are not formulated to eat meat!
3. There is too much suffering in the world to worry about animal cruelty! Let's deal with world hunger first, or war, and then we can tweak the little things. Animal rights are a waste of time when you could be joining the Peace Corps!
Animals raised for their dairy and meat require so much food that, were the entire world to adopt a vegan diet and subsist entirely independent of meat, eggs, and milk, we would produce enough food to feed every single person in the world. Not eating meat means that approximately 90 animals every year don't go into your stomach. That is a lot of meat and, therefore, a lot of grain that could be used for better purposes--feeding the hungry instead of stuffing our faces with food that is bad for us and makes us sick. And which comes to our mouths contaminated with horrific antibiotics, steroids, hormones, pesticides, and waste matter. Ew.
4. I have a farm/know someone who has a farm and our animals are raised humanely and wonderfully before they are slaughtered!
Yeah? They're still slaughtered. What percentage of this nation's meat comes from independent farmers and what percentage comes from factory farms? Our schools and military are supplied with billions of dollars of meat from factory farms. It's cheaper, because the conditions are so revolting. Undercover videos of kosher slaughterhouses revealed the same inhumane treatment as regular slaughterhouses. Proof of animal cruelty is everywhere on the Internet. Do you want to eat a chicken that lived in the same battery cage (with less personal space than a sheet of paper) as a dead, decaying chicken that nobody cleaned? That had disgusting infections? That had bird flu? That was picked out of a drain filled with vomit, feces, and cockroaches? I'm sorry, but I value my health more than factory farms and inhumane slaughterhouses do.
5. If we don't kill these animals, there are so many cows that we'll be overrun with them! They will eat all of our grains and invade our houses and eat crops meant for humans! And then they'll eventually die anyway, and some will be murdered by predators! So why try to get them released from slaughterhouses if they'll just die anyway? They're safe in their farms!
Safe to look forward to death. Would you put yourself through that? Would you be okay with living imprisoned, with no free will whatsoever, with your children torn away from you, to face slaughtered death? Or would you rather live on your own, eking out your living however you want to, but free to look at your own child, stretch your limbs, walk in whichever direction you choose, or actually look at the sun?
And we would not be overrun with cows, pigs, chickens, etc. Why do you think there are so many? They are forced to reproduce! If they weren't forced to, their population would decrease drastically. Don't pretend that we have as many cows to slaughter as we do because they freely reproduce that much. They're injected with hormones, steroids, etc. to make them as fertile as possible. Stop making them reproduce, and the large animal population won't be a problem. Plus, the methane gas production that is drastically cutting into the ozone hole will decrease dramatically.
6. Cows' udders would explode if we didn't milk them. They need to be milked. We're doing cows a favor and benefiting at the same time. It's a symbiotic relationship.
When women have babies and feed them with formula, do their breasts explode? Do they produce milk when they do not have newborns? No! Neither do cows. If we didn't tear calves away from their mothers, they would drink their mothers' milk until they are full-grown, and all the milk would be used as it is supposed to be.
7. Vegans are annoying and militant. They are crazy.
The most vocal vegans are no more annoying or militant than Christians who believe that they must convert others and bring them to Christ. I cannot count the number of times people have knocked on my door, interrupted me, and refused to believe me when I say that I am very confident in my own thoroughly thought-through and researched beliefs and do not want to be converted. There are terrifying fundamentalist Christians who shoot abortion doctors and there are wonderful, peaceful, kind, intelligent people. It's the same with vegans, although to my knowledge no one has committed murder for animal rights. We're just people with our own beliefs. We truly are.
8. If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat? Yummy!
You know this answer to this incredibly idiotic question. You're made out of meat. May I eat you?
9. But it tastes so good! And we can eat it, so why shouldn't we?
We can smoke. We can do drugs. We can sexually abuse children. It feels good, so why shouldn't we?
10. Vegans are stupid. Don't they know that, in their zeal to protect life, they are killing plants? Oh, the poor carrots! Veganism is a waste of time. They should just kill themselves and save the plants and everything else.
One: plants do not have nervous systems and do not feel pain. Two: we are biologically created for plant ingestion. Three: isn't it better to do everything you can for a better world than to give up and just promote world destruction in the form of pollution, cruelty, and murder? Isn't it better to promote understanding and compassion wherever we can than to self-destruct? I think so. Don't you?
Any comments, questions, or criticisms--I'm happy to answer them!

Sisyphus Umbilicus, Sculpture by Matt Toole
Sisyphus Umbilicus, Sculpture by Matt Toole
Sisyphus Umbilicus is comprised of a live oak burl from the low country of Savannah, GA, combined with a stone from Loch Ness, Scotland and connected by a copper cord. The small sculpture is a play on the Greek mythology of Sisyphus. We will contact you regarding shipping.
Sisyphus, in Greek mythology, is the cunning king of Corinth who was punished in Hades by having repeatedly to roll a huge stone up a hill only to have it roll down again as soon as he had brought it to the summit.
Most objects in these sculptures are actual objects found in the Low Country of Savannah, GA. They are parts of a larger environmental collective that people have been drawn to for millennia. Organisms that grow and thrive in Savannah, as well as objects from the industrial components of our city, are represented in these works of art.
Artist: Matt Toole
Each piece is one-of-a-kind.
Shipping is additional, we will contact you upon your order. If you have any questions please contact us via email at email@example.com or 912-677-2845.
I am available for commission work. Please call 912-677-2845

Prior to the financial crisis, "global imbalances" -- primarily large American budget and trade deficits financed by foreigners -- were considered a potential trigger for a coming global financial crisis.
But the nightmare scenario scenario of foreign investors' shifting preference away from the dollar forcing devaluation or interest rate hikes didn't happen.
In fact, U.S. debt securities were snapped up by international investors during the height of the crisis.
So, can we forget about scary "global imbalance" caused-crises?
Free market think tank AEI hosted an event on the the subject, "Global Imbalances: The Next Crisis?" featuring University of Virginia economist Frank Warnock's assessment of the the continued threat.
"As it turns out we did have a crisis but not the global imbalances crisis," said Warnock. Yet Warnock's research on American debt says that imbalances remain important. Reserve accumulation and global investors' preferences could more likely prolong, rather than end, financial imbalances, he says.
The substantial foreign accumulation of US securities helped finance (and maintain) the US current account deficit…
or (ii) a shift to domestic demand
Presentation by UVA Professor Frank Warnock, via AEI.
U.S. has gone through substantial shifts in the size and composition of financial inflows and outflows
Some striking changes in US BOP:
1. Sharp decrease in CAD as imports fall faster than exports.
2. Net fin "linflows held up in 2008 because US investors" flows abroad were zero. Sharp decline in net fin"linflows in 2009H1.
3. Private flows into the US were near zero in '08 and negative in 09H1. FOI inflows held up, but foreigners no longer purchase agency or corpbonds.
Presentation by UVA Professor Frank Warnock, via AEI.
After any crisis there is a reassessment of the riskiness of asset classes. US won't look good in that reassessment. While imbalances are building up again, sharp changes in portfolio preferences are more likely than in the past.

Inside The Square - Meet Our #SQries Winner Lauren Tanaka
We recently held our debut #SQries event here at The Brand Assembly Square. During the panel we offered our attendees the chance to win a month-long Square membership. Today we're excited to introduce you to our winner!
Meet Lauren Tanaka of Global Garbs, a seasoned fashion professional who has brought an inspiring and entrepreneurial spirit to the Square. We were excited to catch up with Lauren to learn more about her career, and how she's adjusted to life as a Square tenant so far. Check out our chat with her below to find out what she's assembling daily.
Please introduce yourself!
I'm a new entrepreneur originally from California, but living in NYC for the past eleven years, so I guess you can say I'm officially a New Yorker now? I never thought I would officially take the plunge into my business, but so far it's been an amazing new challenge. For the first time in a long time I feel excited about my future career path and what's to come. I also have a lot of life changes going on right now between my new career and also I'm getting married in September!
Talk to us about your career in fashion. What are you currently working on while here in the Square?
I've worked in the fashion industry for almost fifteen years, mainly within fashion merchandising, and I'm finally doing my own thing. I started a fashion blog about a year ago called Global Garbs as a side project which is about fashion from a global perspective, in which I feature trends, designers and bloggers from around the world. I'm still growing my audience and community, but so far it's seen some steady growth. I'm also working on launching another business called The Sales Concept in which my business partner and I will be teaching online training courses all about how to grow your wholesale fashion sales and understand the merchandising process. Since we've both worked on the wholesale side of the industry for so many years we thought we could use our expertise to build a business and help independent brands and designers who are looking for ways to grow their sales and profits.
During your day-to-day where can we find you throughout the Square and have you developed a go-to fashion office uniform?
I like to sit by the window at the high top table because I can also stand up and work intermittently (I'm short!). Plus the table I sit at is near the bathroom and kitchen. I drink a lot water haha! Ever since I started working at the Square I get excited to actually wear something other than yoga pants which is my uniform at home. Since it's summer I'm currently wearing a lot of dresses and skirts. I like to keep my outfits pretty simple and comfort is key for me.
What are your thoughts on the emerging and contemporary fashion design community and have you come across any designers here in the Square that have caught your attention?
I think the contemporary design community is such an inspiring group - especially emerging designers. It takes a ton of hard work, creativity, and passion to start a brand, and I have great respect for anyone who does so. My fiancé is actually in a start up men's contemporary brand so I sort of feel like I have an inside look of what it takes to build a company from scratch. There's a TON of amazing brands in this space. I haven't had a chance to really look at each brand yet, but there are SO many that have caught my eye. It's funny because the shoe brand Trickers is my fiancé's favorite shoe brand and he wants to wear them for our wedding.
You recently visited the Square during our kick off #SQRIES event. What were your initial thoughts on the space?
I was absolutely amazed by the space. I had no idea this kind of community/co-working space existed in NYC. I've been to many co-working spaces before but this one felt so intimate and had such great interior design. I love the open layout and that everything is light and tranquil, yet sleek. It was a very impressive first impression.
What are a few things you would recommend for those seeking out a co-working or collaborative space, and based on your experience how do you think Brand Assembly services those needs?
I would recommend finding a community of like-minded businesses to work with. The great thing about the Square is that all of the people work in the fashion industry so you already have something in common. You can also network and help each other out. Some co-working spaces seem lonely and hard to navigate, but the Square almost seems like it's own company with smaller companies within if that makes sense.
How would you describe the Brand Assembly community?
So far everyone has been awesome. It's nice to see that there are communities that actually try to help each other out. I think Brand Assembly is such a unique concept in which they really want to help you thrive in what you're doing. On my first day I met everyone who worked in the office, everyone was super friendly and welcoming.
What do you assemble daily?
My daily and weekly goals! I have this giant day planner (I'm old school), and I like to schedule my daily tasks and weekly goals. It makes me feel productive when I can cross something off my giant to-do list in green highlighter pen!

What is the likely cause of quad cramps when running technical downhill?
Your quads take on the most load as each foot hits the ground when running downhill, which will result in cramps if you are not using the correct technique, or if you have not trained specifically to run downhill.
Running coach Matt Buck (www.runningadventures.co.uk) advises: "You should be running on your toes and taking small steps when descending. Many people over-stride when running downhill, which is dangerous and will cause muscle soreness. Make sure you incorporate downhill sessions into your training, allowing you to build up your quad strength and perfect your technique."

Deputies: Lehigh man kills wife, neighbor in domestic dispute
A man accused of killing his wife and a neighbor late Saturday will be held on more than $1 million bond.
A man accused of killing his wife and a neighbor late Saturday will be held on more than $1 million bond.
Placido Moreno-Torres made his first court appearance Monday. The judge ordered a bond of $500,000 for each murder count, and $20,000 for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Moreno-Torres can also have no contact with the victims or their families should he bond out, and he must stay away from the home where the crime occurred.
Lee County deputies said Moreno-Torres, 47, was arguing with his wife, Amparo, 44, when things turned violent.
Neighbor Ricardo Vaca, 20, went to intervene but was shot by Moreno-Torres, who then turned his gun on his wife.
Family and friends of both families have been back and forth consoling one another here in this neighborhood, trying to make sense of how an argument can result in such a tragedy.
"We heard screaming. She just said, 'they shot my brother, they shot my brother,'" a neighbor said.
She did not want to be identified but said she came home to see two people shot right outside the home.
"There was one lifeless body and a young man, I think he was about 20 years old, and he was still alive, but I guess the ambulance didn't get to him."
Barbara Green was home at the time and said she couldn't believe what was going on near her home. She heard screams and crying.
"One body was laying right across the bottom of the SUV, and then another body was laying on the sidewalk."
Moreno-Torres fled the scene after the shooting but was soon arrested.
He faces two counts of homicide and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. His next court date is scheduled for July 18.
"I am very happy they caught him. It kind of puts the neighborhood at peace."

Released: November 2, 2007
Director: Julien Temple
Distributor: IFC First Take
Starring:Joe Strummer, Nicky "Topper" Headon, Alasdair Gillies

Filmmaker Julian Temple takes a look beyond the guise of the late, anti-establishment icon Joe Strummer to offer a warm portrait of the self-described "mouthy little git" who was born John Mellor, and destined to become the front man for one of the most influential musical punk bands ever. A complex figure who would learn to use his gift for music as a means of decompressing his conscience, Strummer is revealed here through unearthed interviews and the illuminating recollections of his closest companions. At times idealistic to a fault, the flawed Clash singer/songwriter had a special gift for compelling listeners to think as they moved to the music. Vintage performance footage and excerpts from Strummer's popular BBC radio program offer the ideal musical backdrop for an affectionate tribute to a punk-rock legend.

Oh, this is great! Susan over at the Gingerwood forums worked up a chart that lists the cover sizes, inner page sizes, and the number of holes in the spine for the various sizes when using the Bind It All--no more guesswork when you're trying to figure out how many holes there will be when you're making a project of a particular size. Thank you, Susan!

It had all been meticulously planned. Kate Bailey would marry Michael Bailey (they have the same last name) beside the river at Club Continental. Afterward, guests would enjoy an evening of dinner and dancing inside the historic Orange Park estate.
But as Kate learned, "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry."
For a few moments on her wedding day, Kate watched powerless as her wedding plans almost blew up before her eyes.
Kate and Michael met five years ago during the fall of their freshman year at the University of Florida. Michael, now 25 and an engineer at Earth Tech in Tampa, says the minute they met, friends joked that Kate would never have to change her name if they married. The two dated throughout college, and when Michael proposed and Kate started planning a wedding, they named their wedding website "bailey-squared."
On May 14, the day of their wedding, Kate awoke to a torrential downpour. Rain fell in buckets until about 3 p.m. when she sat down with a makeup artist at Club Continental.
"I thought I saw the lights flicker," said Kate, 25, a graduate of Ridgeview High School who's working toward a Ph.D. in cancer biology at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. But she was so happy the sun was finally shining that she didn't really think about it. However, Kate soon realized something was wrong when she saw her mother and their wedding planner whispering frantically.
"A transformer had blown. There was no power at Club Continental and no one knew when it would be back," Kate said.
Everyone flew into action mode. Club Continental cooks with gas, so the food would be fine. The DJ, Justin Fredericks, had arrived with six battery packs, so there would still be music. They even had enough lighting, thanks to Kate's mom.
"Everyone thought I was nuts because I bought boxes and boxes of votive candles before the wedding. They're such an easy and pretty way to decorate. I was afraid we'd run out," said Lori Bailey, Kate's mom.
The candles flooded the ballroom with light, and the guests, who each went home with tiny bottles of Baileys Irish Creme, had a great time.
"In fact, a lot of people didn't even know the power was out," Kate said, "until it came back on during the reception."
If you or someone you know has an interesting love story that led to the altar recently, email firstname.lastname@example.com and include a wedding picture.

About Us
We are a team dedicated to work with the language communities. There are 123 languages in Nepal listed in the ethnologies of SIL. Out of which, some of the languages are dying out day by day. If nothing is done against such repetitive erosion, the speed will likely to go more rapidly from moribund to extinction. The initiative for the preservation of languages is very important in the ethnic group. Such issues, when put into technological efforts, may potentially yield a faster way. We do this through Language Documentation, the development of the Writing Guide and Dictionary development as the foundational work for the language development activities. We train people to impact the community through language development.
We work partnering with language development agencies; locally as well as more widely. We would like to be engaged with communities for the sake of language development activities; however, our primary choice is to begin with language documentation and the writing guide (orthography).

A complaint Facebook has had over the last few years is that it feels more and more like a place for businesses to promote their products and services, and less a forum for people to catch up with family and friends. This is changing. Mark Zuckerberg has said that the update's purpose is to go back to the heart of what Facebook used to be, with more focus on 'meaningful interaction'. This is a term that Facebook is using to say that posts that get less engagement are going to be pushed to the bottom. What this means is that if a post isn't being commented on enough, it isn't deemed to be relevant.
Though the update is going to affect your page, it doesn't have to mean the end of your marketing efforts on Facebook. If you follow these guidelines, you'll have a higher chance of succeeding:

I've talked before about how cool it would be to be able to chat with – or even understand – the Swahili-speaking guides with us at our photo expedition in Tanzania.
But speaking the native language has benefits that go way beyond being able to communicate with locals. Sure, it's amazing to be able to immerse yourself in a culture and know more about the local customs and viewpoints, but here are a few other perks you enjoy when you're fluent in a second language:
You can bargain better and dig deeper
When you can truly speak a language – beyond the usual "Hello," "How are you?" and "My name is…" – then you have all the resources you need to navigate an unfamiliar land. For instance, you will be able to comprehend more complex interactions, such as shopping at the local market, negotiating with guides and taxi drivers, and asking questions at a pharmacy. People who speak the language get ripped off less, get a clearer understanding of the culture, and have a more satisfying travel experience overall.
You can learn more
Being able to ask questions of a museum docent or fellow bus passenger about the origins of customs and cultural nuances will greatly enhance your knowledge and perceptions of a locale.
You can get around more easily
Not only will you be able to ask for directions or clarification of directions, but you can also find out what places you shouldn't miss and what restaurants are a must, all in a way that someone who is just trolling TripAdvisor could never pull off. As soon as locals find out that they can converse with you, they will be much likelier to share their "insider information."
You can help others
Wouldn't it be great to be that person who overhears someone who can't speak the local language trying – and failing – to communicate effectively? You could be the international bridge between two people who can't understand each other's words.
Picking up a second language is easier than you think. In fact, with Great Escape Spanish you can start speaking in just a single afternoon.. After day one, it comes down to mastering pronunciation — and we have recordings to help you with that, too. They come free with the program.
Last year, we helped more than 8,900 people just like you learn Spanish, their second language, and then some of them came back for the French program, too, after they saw how easy language learning could be. The approach is unique, and it works.

Barcelona may be 11 points clear atop the LaLiga table but head coach Ernesto Valverde insisted defending champions and bitter rivals Real Madrid are still in the title race.
Barca defeated bottom side Malaga 2-0 Saturday to move 11 points ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid, who are scheduled to play Celta Vigo Sunday.
Titleholders Madrid stayed within 15 points of Barca following their hard-fought 2-1 win at Eibar thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's brace.
Madrid only have eight games to overturn Barca's mammoth lead, however, Valverde refused to count Zinedine Zidane's men out.
"Of course there's a title race," Valverde told reporters after Barca preserved their unbeaten record. "While it's still mathematically possible, you can't rule anyone out.
"I won't rule [Madrid] out and they will do well not to rule themselves out, too."
The players and manager reflect on #MálagaBarça… pic.twitter.com/wdBmNveEEL

Lionel Messi missed the trip to Malaga following the birth of his third child but Barca had no issues, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho seeing off the 10-man hosts.
It was a comfortable outing for Barca, though Valverde accepted his team's minds were elsewhere ahead of next week's Champions League return leg against Chelsea.
The last-16 tie is evenly posted at 1-1 following the Stamford Bridge fixture.
"In the second half we began to subconsciously think about the match on Wednesday," said Valverde, who allayed injury concerns over full-backs Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba after the pair picked up knocks in the victory.
"Scoring early here was crucial, the red card made the match easier for us. We will have to suffer to progress past Chelsea."

— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) March 10, 2018
Valverde also praised Ousmane Dembele following his performance, which also drew plaudits from team-mate Coutinho.
Dembele, whose first season in Spain has been ruined by injury, was the provider for Coutinho's goal approaching the half-hour mark after Suarez opened the scoring 13 minutes earlier.
"Dembele's a player that needs time, he's young," Valverde added. "We're Barca and there's a lot of pressure here, so for that reason there's been a lot of focus on him.
"He's had more success [against Malaga] than on other occasions but the good thing is that he always tries to get at opponents and to dribble. And he can also create, as we saw with the second goal. He took a step forward tonight and he helped us a lot. But there's still a way to go."

Becoming an Irish Citizen: Part I
There are a lot of steps to becoming an Irish citizen!
I'm hoping to get all the paperwork done before we go. But I've been told it can be quite the process, including numerous trips to the embassy, and arbirtrary document requests.
I am eligible for citizenship through a grandparent. There are a few ways to be entitled to citizenship through descent, and the Irish government provides this handy dandy chart to see if you qualify:
I'm C. So, first step was getting my American passport renewed, which just came back in the mail. Next step is registering on the Foreign Births Register.
I need a ton of documents!
My own:
- original long form birth certificate
- passport copied and notarized
- proof of residence (three documents, i.e. bills addressed to me, etc.)
My mom and dad's:
- original long form birth certificates
- original marriage certificate
- passport copied and notarized (dad)
- original death certificate (mom)
- & possibly the deed poll showing mom's changed name, plus three documents showing proof of usage of her married name?
My paternal grandparents's:
- original long form birth certificates
- original marriage certificate
- original death certificates
- & possibly the deed poll for Grandma Rory's changed name
So far, I have this in-hand (thanks dad!):
Looking forward to a lot of red tape!

Hot air for sale
Dear Editor:
After attending the AREDAY Film Fest at the Isis this year I had enough. Couldn't listen to anymore talking heads going on about the problems we have created.
It seems like a bunch self-image makers inflating each others' egos. When are we going to get an inspiring figure who mobilizes everyone to bust out of the privacy of the Jerome Ballroom screaming, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!", and hit the street taken action doing something?
Instead they get in their SUVs, go to the airport and fly away in their jets to another hot air conference about global warming, which has become politicized and a big the waste of money.

ON a Sunday morning in March, the cavernous arrival hall at Terminal 8 at
Ms. Beckles had spent the previous four days in Puerto Rico, and it had been an emotional trip: On Day 3 she had seen a puppy hit and killed by a sport utility vehicle that sped away. Now, she stopped to hug her husband, Bobby Beckles, 44, a professional stuntman, and dissolved into tears in his arms.
Then she wiped her eyes, thanked her white-shirted entourage and got down to business: keeping tabs on the procession of crates streaming into the arrival hall. Inside were 17 satos — Puerto Rican slang for mongrels — 16 of which Ms. Beckles had rescued from Dead Dog Beach, the notorious and remote spot on the island's southeastern shore, where for decades owners have routinely dumped unwanted animals.
As the containers piled up, the Beckleses methodically unlocked them, and out spilled the dogs: among them six fuzzy puppies whose mother had died while giving birth; two other puppy siblings found in a sealed cardboard box in the beach's parking lot; Shiner, a personable terrier Ms. Beckles had plucked impromptu from the local Humane Society; and Murphy, a brindled boxer mix who had turned up, wet and hungry, on the beach one morning. Upon release, the dogs cavorted as if on a play date; the smallest puppies were cuddled in volunteers' arms.
Other people have wrestled with the sato problem before. A 2007 episode in Barceloneta village, where hired "exterminators" rounded up dozens of dogs and threw them off a bridge, focused attention on Puerto Rico's treatment of animals and led to a proposed tourist boycott of the island.Continue reading the main story
The issue was brought to light again by a People magazine article in 2008 about the frustrations of rescuers working at Dead Dog Beach. That same year, Public Law 154, which made animal abuse and abandonment illegal, became official, though advocates say that it is rarely, if ever, enforced.
Maritza Rodríguez, the executive director of the Humane Society of Puerto Rico, said her shelter took in 100 unwanted dogs daily. "
Since November, when the British-born Ms. Beckles struck out on her own after several years of volunteering for other organizations but feeling dissatisfied by the results they achieved, she has become the unlikely but unrelenting savior of Dead Dog Beach. Operating out of her apartment in
Without Ms. Beckles's intervention, all of the dogs would likely be dead from starvation, sickness or worse.
By necessity, she has cultivated a network of volunteers on the island and stateside who share her passion. Two of the tiniest arrivals on Sunday were taken to their adopter in
After connecting with Ms. Beckles online, Ms. Penney was quickly enlisted as an escort for three puppies aboard the flight to Kennedy Airport from San Juan — and she ended up adopting one of them. "When you see the compassion she has, you feel like you just have to help," she said of Ms. Beckles. "You look in the eyes of these dogs and actually see the difference you're making."
DEAD DOG BEACH, officially known as Playa Lucia, is nondescript in most ways, but notorious for the vagrant animals dumped there and left to fend for themselves or die. Sometimes the dogs arrive in cardboard boxes, nine terrified puppies crammed in. Sometimes they are booted out of vehicles. Many have wounds from abuse. Ms. Beckles and her surrogates do their work by daylight; after dark, the beach is safe neither for them nor the dogs because of youths who gather there to party and to use the dogs for target practice, local rescuers say.
"My goal is for it to be called by its real name, Playa Lucia, again someday," she said.
Ms. Beckles heard about the beach from her husband: Five years ago, he was in Puerto Rico on a monthlong shoot for a miniseries when the driver of the van in which he and other crew members were riding hit a dog — on purpose. "There was a mother and her pups crossing the road, and our driver didn't even try to avoid them," Mr. Beckles said. The TV crew forced the driver to stop. "We gathered up the puppies and got them away from the road and fed them our lunch," he said. Then he called his wife.
"I wasn't Rescue 101 until I went to Puerto Rico to visit Bobby while he was on that shoot," Ms. Beckles said. "I went out to the beach with food for the dogs, and the people there looked at me like I was feeding rats. It touched a nerve in me so bad that I called every rescue organization there was and asked if I could help them do public relations, donate, anything."
Ms. Beckles began coordinating rescues for two groups, Amigos de los Animales (Friends of the Animals) and Manos por Patas (Hands for Paws). She met Sandra Cintron, who lives in Yabucoa, near the beach, and for the past 12 years has been carrying food and water to the stray dogs every morning. Ms. Cintron became Ms. Beckles's eyes and ears on the beach: she telephones Ms. Beckles each morning at 7 to report on the status of the dogs, she houses puppies temporarily and takes dogs to the veterinarian as often as needed. Twice a day, she and two new volunteers replenish the kibble and water stations the Sato Project has set up.
The dogs that Ms. Beckles and Ms. Cintron remove from the beach are brought to Candelero Animal Hospital in Humacao, where the veterinarian, Dr. Bianca Aguirre Hernández, is highly sympathetic to their cause. Dr. Aguirre Hernández vaccinates and neuters the animals and provides any other care they need. Ms. Beckles has an outstanding veterinary bill of $8,000 there, but the hospital lets her run a tab.
Many of Ms. Beckles's predecessors and mentors have moved on or have been burned out from the stress of what seems — on an island with an estimated 150,000 homeless dogs and just five municipal shelters, all of which euthanize animals — to be a Sisyphean mission.
Some groups, like Island Dogs Inc., have opted to minimize rescue efforts, which are expensive and fraught with complications, and instead emphasize spay-neuter programs. Others, like Manos por Patas, have gone out of business. Still others, like the Save a Sato Foundation and All Sato Rescue, continue to work but lack the resources for a large-scale rescue of the island's stray dogs.
Ms. Beckles flies to Puerto Rico five or six times a year. Since November, when she officially went solo after an 18-month affiliation with a group called Pets Alive fell apart because of a business disagreement, she has flown dogs to the continental United States on a near-weekly basis, operating under the Sato Project umbrella and through a sister group, the Dead Dog Beach Project.
Once they leave Puerto Rico, Ms. Beckles's dogs are introduced to their adopters or placed temporarily in foster homes. She charges the adopters $200 for a puppy and $250 for an adult dog. She also works with two nonprofit shelters. Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter, in East Hanover, N.J., took in five baby Chihuahuas that Ms. Beckles had flown into Newark in February, then took another five puppies from the Sunday airlift. Last Hope, a shelter on
Jennifer Gregory, operations director at Mount Pleasant, said her first priority was scanning the
Small dogs, and puppies in particular, are always in demand: easier to place and often harder to find. Laura Roberts, who already had six cats and two dogs, was searching Long Island shelters for a puppy for her 6-year-old son, Luke. "Every place we went," she said, "there was already someone ahead of us who'd filled out the adoption application." But then she saw a dog named Cupid on Ms. Beckles's Facebook page, which is updated daily with pictures of dogs and appeals to adopt. The puppy was found, crying, on the road to Dead Dog Beach on
To those who say there are enough dogs in need of rescue closer to home, Ms. Roberts said: "A saved dog is a saved dog. It doesn't matter where it came from."
Inevitably, the Beckleses also end up temporarily housing a number of the dogs, like Tiny, a one-pound, baldheaded Chihuahua who had been the runt of her litter and developed
After regaining her fur and gaining a pound, Tiny flew to
To say Ms. Beckles operates on a shoestring budget would be an understatement. She called it "more like a thread."
"I couldn't do this at all without Bobby's support," she added, "both emotionally and financially." Whatever costs aren't covered by donations, the couple absorb. Last year, Mr. Beckles spent about $20,000 rescuing dogs; this year, with his wife expanding her efforts, the cost could be twice that. They have scheduled their first fund-raiser for April 22 at a Long Island restaurant, and they rely heavily on Facebook pleas for donations.
Mr. Beckles remains the project's biggest fan. "Chrissy supported me when I wanted to move to the U.S. and open a gym, and she supported me when I got into stunt work as a career," he said. "So it's only natural that I've got her back now that she's decided that her dream in life is saving these dogs."
As a three-time Golden Gloves finalist and the 2005 women's champion at 101 pounds, Ms. Beckles has had her nose broken six times and has endured countless black eyes.
She began to study boxing in her hometown,
She initially took a martial arts course, which is how she met her future husband. They moved to the United States in 1997 and were married in 1998. Mr. Beckles boxed professionally as a super featherweight and is a specialist in Muay Thai, a style of kickboxing. In keeping with their backgrounds, the Beckleses give supporters white T-shirts that read on the front, "The Sato Project: We Fight So the Dogs of Puerto Rico Don't Have To," and have on the back a quote from
ON a recent Monday afternoon, Ms. Beckles left the ground-floor apartment in Cobble Hill that she shares with her husband and their "forever" dogs, Basher (a Jack Russell terrier) and BoomBoom (a speckled sato that Ms. Beckles rescued five years ago), and headed to Gleason's Gym in the Dumbo neighborhood for a training session.
She no longer competes in Golden Gloves events, which are limited to amateur fighters under age 35. But she occasionally fights at special events at the gym, like the bout she has scheduled in June as part of a masters competition for older boxers. As he usually does when Ms. Beckles fights, Bruce Silverglade, who has owned the gym for 31 years, will donate half the proceeds to the Sato Project. "People with dominant personalities tend to dominate in the ring," Mr. Silverglade said. "Chrissy has a dominant personality."
Ms. Beckles doesn't know if she'll fight at 101 pounds or 106, her maintenance weight. "When I won the Golden Gloves I was 101 pounds, which we call my divorce weight, because I'm so grumpy to be around," said Ms. Beckles, who started her training session on the treadmill, wearing red boxing shorts with a P.U.G. emblem. Her trainer, Don Saxby, described her boxing style as slick, southpaw and "tough as nails."
"She turns into a pit bull in the ring," he said after joining her there. "The little monster has a serious mean streak."
After the workout, Ms. Beckles, a chronic hugger, embraced Mr. Saxby and her former trainer, Martin Gonzalez, and then jumped into her Jeep to go home. The dogs were waiting, including Tiny, who had yet to go to Las Vegas, and a sweaty, weary Ms. Beckles needed to reboot with a chocolate milk.
Back in the couple's kitchen, there was a whiteboard with the names of the dogs in her program, each listed by status: at the vet, in
Her cellphone rang. It was a call from Puerto Rico. Two new puppies were on the beach. Ms. Cintron had named them Mocha and Daisy and fed them, and she asked if she could take them under the Sato Project umbrella. Was there enough money? No, there was not. But, yes, she should rescue the puppies.
"I need to clone myself," Ms. Beckles said, adding that if she did, she would make two significant alterations: her clone would be independently wealthy and would not have a dog allergy requiring weekly injections. She adjusted Tiny in her lap and drank the rest of her milk. Then she grabbed a marker and added Mocha and Daisy to the crowded flow chart on the kitchen counter.
An article last Sunday about a Brooklyn woman's effort to save abandoned and abused dogs from a Puerto Rican beach called Dead Dog Beach described incorrectly part of the woman's return to New York this month. When she returned to New York on a flight from San Juan, P.R., she was on a domestic flight; she did not go through customs. And because of an editing error, the article referred imprecisely to the destination of 60 dogs for which she was trying to find adoptive homes. She brought the dogs to the continental United States from Puerto Rico — not to "the United States," of which Puerto Rico is a part, of course.

A 9-year-old Pennsylvania girl with a green thumb is being rewarded with the other kind of green for growing an extraordinarily large cabbage.
Lily Ries, a fourth-grader at Peebles Elementary School in Pittsburgh has won $1,000 savings bond for her extra-large vegetable. She grew it as part of National Bonnie Plants Third Grade Cabbage Program.
Her mom, Megan Ries, says they had no idea cabbages could get so big, but it just kept growing and growing.
Lily says she didn't do anything special, just watered it and gave it enough sun on her deck in Allison Park. She says after they harvested it, they made so much coleslaw they couldn't eat it all. They gave the rest to the bunnies in her yard.
Nearly 32,000 children from across Pennsylvania participated in the contest.

Rasmussen is reporting today that President Donald J. Trump's approval rating is at a whopping 50% from a poll taken of likely voters. The President's disapproval rating is at 49% but appears at this point to be loosing ground.
At this time in his presidency, Barack Obama's approval ratings was 44%. Hmmph, no wonder Hussein Obama is hating.
Thirty-five percent of likely voters "strongly" approval of the way President Trump is doing his job, while "43% strongly disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -8. (see trends)."
Rasmussen, Daily Presidential Tracking Poll:
Trump and the economy are the major concerns for voters going into the midterm congressional elections.
When to comes to the midterm elections, Democrats have a slight edge when it comes to what voters think is best for the next session of Congress.
Most voters think Democrats are likely to take charge of the House of Representatives following the elections but expect them to fall short of capturing the Senate, too.

Intimacy is not just about physical contact in the bedroom. True intimacy begins outside of the bedroom through communication in non-genital ways. The intimacy that a couple experiences outside of the bedroom leads to a more intensified physical intimacy inside the bedroom.
Intimacy and trust in a relationship comes from non-genital forms of communication leading to a liberating, loving and permanent communion between the man and woman. This type of communication is important for all couples, whether they are avoiding genital contact on a periodic basis or not. Such communication lays the groundwork for a lasting and joy-filled marriage.
One way to build trust and intimacy in a marriage is through touch. But, did you know there are two types of touch? Dr. Thomas Hilgers, the creator of the Creighton Model FertilityCare System, defines the two types of touch as arousal touch and affirming touch.
For most, arousal touch is touch that erotically stimulates oneself and the other in preparation for intercourse. It tends to be more "me"-oriented. It says, "Give yourself to me," or "I want you."
Affirming touch is more complex. It involves touching that is not arousing in any way. It is non-genital in orientation. It expresses love to the other person by saying, "I accept you and appreciate you," or "I love you just the way you are." Ex. holding hands, warm hug, etc.
It is important to communicate with your spouse what constitutes both arousal and affirming touch for you. It can be different for each person. If you are wanting to avoid a pregnancy, it is important to focus more on affirming touch during the fertile time instead of avoiding touch altogether. Affirming touch, especially during the fertile time, can be especially helpful in building intimacy and trust between the couple.
I can surely attest to the power of affirming touch during times of wanting to avoid and achieve a pregnancy. My husband and I have our own personal views of what constitutes arousal and affirming touch for each of us. By communicating with one another, we have come to a better understanding and appreciation of each other and enjoyed a stronger marriage as a result. It truly has been a gift to our marriage, a hidden treasure found in a simple family planning method.
For each couple, intimacy and trust are built through the help of these two types of touch. It is important for the couple to understand the differences between these two types of touch and to practice them every day in order to truly be in touch with our "inner soul" of sexuality.


text: These hot humid days remind me of when I was a kid in the summer and I'd get upset that I couldn't just sleep late and play video games because I always had something to do. From early morning family plans, to swimming lessons, to whatever sports my mom had signed me up for, I strangely always felt like I'd rather do anything other than be outside. Now I wish I could go back to those days, I want to wake up at 6 and go to the beach before the crowds get there, we'd always leave for lunch and usually go to the pool around the time they'd all show up anyway. I'd even be okay with all the swimming lessons and hot sweaty sports that were sometimes on the agenda. Hell, I'd even settle for the few years I had summer school and would walk home in the heat from the neighboring town. The more I think of it the more I wish I could always be doing something, anything outside. I'm not sure if it's just how carefree I was able to be back then that I'd love to get back, my disdain for my current situation, or if it's just extreme nostalgia hitting me, but I can't express what I would give to be able to live that life again.

A list of my rants and raves
|People who are lazy
|Really, if you don't know, is it too much that you could go and find out? How often have you gone into a store where people have no clue of what they are supposed to and they just give blank stares and couldn't even bother to find out.
|Okay, so having a personality disorder that would be considered self inflicted bipolarism is COOL? Bah
|People who say "chemicals"
|Maybe it's just that i'm a chemisict (as Bryan says), maybe it's because I hate ignorant people. But to say "i'm not going to eat that 'cuz it has CHEMICALS in it" is so wrong. EVERYTHING IS CHEMICALS you jackass!
|People who try to interfere with you while you play your pipes
|Like when we do the shows in the bars or whatnot. We're playing and the people will just come up to you and play with your drones or try screaming at you. Just let me finish playing first THEN I will interact with you, they're like little babies.
|"what i like about you" tv show
|argh, those people are sooo annoying. if there are truly any people like that in real life, where's Darwin's theory acting to hope they don't procreate.
|Reality TV shows
|Survivor, Idol… man they just desrve to be shot… all of them. And what's worse are the people who get addicted to them. I mean, why not worry about your OWN reality, than what you see on TV
|Selfrighteous teenager punks
|They always think they know everything, and they're just outright rude about it. I think in this modern age they're too empowered and they know it
|Messy people
|As much as my desk can be a bit of a clutter, at least it's organized. People who just drop garbage where they stand with no thought to cleaning it up just aggrevate me.
|People who perpetuate urban myths
|Seriously, if you just go and do a bit of research about the email BEFORE you hit forward, you can save a lot of hysteria or panic unnecessarily.
|People who turn into the far lane
|Seriously… why? If you're trying to merge with traffic there's nothing worse than a driver who almost hits ya 'cuz they're "IN A HURRY" or whatnot

text: The inspiration always flows a bit more freely when you are using a camera you love, photographing an individual you have been friends with for years and years. I have known Maddie since college, and to be able to watch her blossom into the talented singer-songwriter she has become has been beautiful to watch. I used the Fuji 645ZI for this shoot because I wanted to achieve a more raw look, especially utilizing the fill flash the camera executes oh-so beautifully. I think the outcome matches the style Maddie tries to achieve in her songs, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Maddie's new EP drops later this month, don't miss it!

There has been a lot of news in regards to mental health concerns in schools and I have summed up the main news for readers.
Natasha Devon, the former Department for Education (DfE) mental health champion who found her position abolished after criticising the government regarding its testing policies and their effect on pupils mental health, has strongly attacked the government. Devon has said that Britain's child mental health crisis is far worse than most people realise, and we risk "medicalising childhood" through botched attempts to address the problem. She said: "We need to ask ourselves what is causing mental health problems in the first place, because it's my belief that many of these struggles could be avoided if we get our approach right. And if we don't, we're giving away with one hand and taking away with the other." She further said: "If a child is being bullied and they have the symptoms of depression because they are being bullied, what they need is for the bullying to stop. They need to feel safe again. They don't necessarily need anti-depressants or therapy.
Devon said that the pressures of modern life mean that young people are under more pressures than ever before. She said: "Being a young person today is harder than it's ever been. Time and time again over recent years young people, and the people who teach them, have spoken out about how rigorous a culture of testing and academic pressure is detrimental to their mental health." She said that excessive assessment from a young age and student debt were factors which heightened anxiety levels, saying: "At one end of the scale we've got four-year-olds being tested, at the other end of the scale we've got teenagers leaving school and facing the prospect of leaving university with record amounts of debt. Anxiety is the fastest growing illness in under 21's. These things are not a coincidence."
The government's response to the criticism of the current testing regime has been to axe the position of mental health champion. A DfE spokeswoman said that an independent NHS task force report had "recommended that a cross-government mental health champion be created, for this reason we have had to reconsider the department's own role." She added that Devon's position was being axed to avoid "confusion". The spokeswoman then poured praise on Devon, saying: "Natasha has done a great job of helping us to raise the profile of young people's mental health since her appointment last year. We have asked Natasha and others who have been involved in our work to empower schools and young people to promote good mental health to continue to work with us a s we prepare to launch our activity last year."
The CEO of Young Minds (who campaigns on mental health issues for young people), Sarah Brennan said: "We are very surprised and sad that Natasha's role as mental health champion has ended. She has done a superb job of drawing attention to the crucial importance of mental health and well-being in schools." Devon said, "When I first took the role, I said to the department what I want to do is bring the concerns of young people and the people who teach them to government level. So it's not actually be that's being silenced, it's the young people and teachers. I thing the government knows that young people don't vote, or if they do, are very unlikely to vote Tory; and they have historically ignored their needs and the price paid now is that we have seen a crisis in their mental health."
Devon who was made an MBE in 2015, said that she had not been paid for the role, as she wanted to remain independent and objective. She warned the new, paid mental health champion could "be paid effectively to toe the partly line." She said she hoped the new champion would be a "positive force for good", but she was "sceptical".
She commented that when child and adolescent mental health services are cut, teachers support young people because there is nowhere to refer them to, and that following extensive cuts to the police service, teachers are also being handed the responsibility for antisocial behaviour in their communities. She said: "It's becoming clear that the government sees schools as cheap alternative to vital public sector services it can't be arsed to fund anymore." She said: "Don't worry, teachers can do that. Why not? It's not like they have anything else to do, might as well be the Tory party slogan."
On my next post, I will discuss why we need much more help as revealed by a survey of over a thousand school heads England.

Atlanta Gets Its First Ignite (It Rocked)
Alright, so you're pretty down with the tech scene. You've gone to more BarCamps than you care to list, have a few WordCamps under your belt, maybe a Startup Weekend or two, and perhaps a SuperHappyDevHouse here and there. Maybe you've been to the invite-only Foo Camp if you're all kinds of special. But have you been to an O'Reilly Ignite event yet? Until this past Thursday, I hadn't. That's when Atlanta held its first Ignite and I can say without a doubt that it went off without a hitch. I don't know what the official count was, but the event had close to 500 RSVPs.
If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Around the world geeks have been putting together Ignite nights to show their answers.
As the quote from O'Reilly's site above states, Ignite is all about getting people to come together to share their hobbies, projects, thoughts, whatever, in an interesting 20 slide, 15 second per slide format. There were 18 speakers at this IgniteATL that was held at the Georgia Tech Research Institute in Midtown Atlanta. Organizer Colin Ake convinced me to present something. I was originally going to do a talk on something blog related, but after reading more about Ignite and seeing how it was more about people not talking about their main line of work, I ended up doing a talk entitled "HDR Imaging for n00bs."
Other talks covered a variety of topics like space, hydrogen, computer overclocking, art, beer, biology and business.
Below are my slides and a video of my talk (thanks for recording Ivan!). Watch at your own risk..
Hats off to the organizers, Atlanta's first Ignite night was a blast and I'm eager to see what kind of talks spring up at the next one.
My Ignite presentation. I don't make for the best speaker, that's for sure. :-D
Have you been to any such Ignite nights or similar events? What did you think of it? Props to Nathan Fowler for letting me use some of his great pics of IgniteATL. This was the first time I used Keynote to make a presentation and it was a delight. Stammy approved.
Unrelated: I'll be at WordCamp Birmingham later this month as Skribit is a sponsor.

Prisons were of course in the news over New Year. Ford is - I regret - no longer in my constituency following boundary changes at the last election.
But naturally when I was texted at the crack of dawn on New Year's Day to tell me that the jail was on fire I was once again concerned about this institution. The riot and criminal damage were a disgrace and I hope that the most stringent action will be taken against the perpetrators.
However, a rather different form of prison had made an impression on me on New Year's Eve when I visited the former Dachau concentration camp near Munich.
Dachau was set up in 1933 for political prisoners a few weeks after Hitler came to power. It served as a model for all later concentration camps and as a school of violence for the SS men who commanded it.
In its twelve years of existence over 200,000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned here and in the numerous subsidiary camps. 41,500 of them died until the prison was liberated by American troops in 1945.
Dachau makes for a sobering visit. It is mostly now open space. But a prison block, including tiny cells where inmates were forced to stand for days, remains. So does a housing block with hooks from which prisoners were hung as a form of torture.
A museum charts with stark photographs the chilling story of the camp: of political prisoners interned in 'preventive custody' as enemies of the state; of others incarcerated for being of the wrong race or sexuality; of brutal torture and beatings; of prisoners being used for horrific medical experiments; of death through disease, malnutrition and execution without trial.
It was the most vivid reminder of why our parents and grandparents fought that war, for the prize not just of territory or self-determination, but of freedom and victory over evil.
In the words of a strangely inspiring memorial at the camp: "May the example of those who were exterminated here between 1933 - 1945 because they resisted Nazism help to unite the living for the defence of peace and freedom and in respect for their fellow men."
