On Wednesday afternoon, in one completely unscripted convention moment, the Democrat Party not only defined who they are, but how they choose to govern.
The story begins when Los Angeles Mayor and convention chairman Antonio Villaraigosa recognized former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland. Strickland is an ordained minister, and he offered up an amendment to the party platform, addressing two "omissions" Barack Obama and his party suddenly realized were political liabilities. In short, the Democratic platform was one in which all references to God had been deleted, along with the idea that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
According to Politico, Obama knew nothing about this until Wednesday morning, when he saw media coverage of the omissions and undoubtedly realized what a public relations disaster it would be for his party. He then ordered both items restored to the platform because, according to his campaign handlers, the amended version is "consistent with the president's own positions."
The task of amending the platform was then handed to Villaraigosa. He introduced Strickland, who got the ball rolling. "Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This summer I was proud to serve this party as the platform drafting committee chair," said Strickland. "As the chair I come before you today to discuss two important matters related to our party's national platform."
Let's pause. What Strickland is essentially saying is that everyone involved in formulating the original platform signed off on it--meaning no one had a problem leaving God out, or tossing Israel under the bus--until Wednesday.
Strickland continued. "As an ordained United Methodist minister I am here to affirm and attest that our faith and belief in God is central to the American story, and informs the values we've expressed in our party's platform. In addition, president Obama recognizes Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel, and our party's platform should as well. Mr. Chairman, I have submitted my amendment in writing and I believe it is being projected on the screen for the delegates to see. I move for adoption of the amendment as submitted and shown to the delegates."
The amendment was indeed projected on a big screen for all the delegates to see. Then it was Villaraigosa's turn. "A motion has been made. Is there a second?" he asked. The crowd "seconded" the motion. "Is there any further discussion?" he continued. "Hearing none, the matter requires a two-thirds vote in the affirmative."
At that point things took a stunningly revealing turn. "All those delegates in favor say 'aye,'" commanded Villaraigosa. A fairly loud "aye" was heard in response. "All those delegates opposed, say 'no,'" continued the Chairman. "No," the crowd responded -- in equal measure. Villaraigosa was totally flustered. "In the opinion of the….let me do that again," he stammered. "All of those delegates in favor, say 'aye,'" he repeated. A little louder level of response was heard. "All those delegates opposed say 'no," re-interated Villaraigosa. The same equally louder level of nay votes--again.
Villaraigosa was visibly stunned. "I uh…I guess…" At that point a women walked up to Villaraigosa. "You got to rule, and then let them do what they're going do," she advised the Chairman. "I'll do that one more time," said Villaraigosa. "All of those delegates in favor, say 'aye,'" he said for the third time. A bit louder still. "All those delegates opposed say 'no'." The "nays" matched the volume of the "ayes"--for the third time.
Villaraigosa then did what Democrats do when reality doesn't coincide with their worldview. "In the opinion of the Chair, two thirds have voted in the affirmative, the motion is adopted, and the platform has been amended as shown on the screen. Thank you very much, thank you," said Villaraigosa--to a loud chorus of boos.
Unlike some in the media, I will not go so far as to say that Democrats booed God and Jerusalem. Perhaps some did, but one suspects the response by the crowd was more about Villaraigosa's transparent effort to alter a reality so obvious it could not be ignored.
Ironically, Democrats, and their standard-bearer, Barack Obama, are more than willing to ignore several realities that don't accrue to their worldview, like a nation going bankrupt, 42 months of unemployment "officially" over 8 percent, an incoherent foreign policy that coddles our enemies and cold-shoulders our friends, and the ongoing virulent attacks on anyone and everyone who doesn't agree with their worldview.
Wednesday's spectacle was a pathetic combination of Orwellian-ism and Groundhog's Day rolled into one. It is the true face of a Democratic Party whose commitment to the will of the people and the sanctity of the vote--in this case their own people and their own vote--is a complete fraud. Watch the tape. And as you watch it, try to imagine the difference between what occurred here, and the same kind of "vote" in any totalitarian society that has ever existed. Moreover, watch it even as you remember that this is a party and a president currently constrained by the need to get re-elected.

Tropical Sunrise Breakfast Smoothie
Smooth Sailing on Busy Mornings
Smoothies are great! They make for a refreshing, nutrient-dense, delicious meal that can be taken along with you on busy mornings. They are incredibly versatile, allowing you to build them as you see fit, and are an amazing way to get an extra serving of fruits and vegetables into your daily eating. But believe it or not, even smoothies can be unhealthy. Many smoothies that we buy at restaurants or chains, or even ones that we make at home, have the potential to be very high in energy and sugar when too many fruits, honey, and extras are added.
Building a Healthy Smoothie
If you're making a smoothie that is going to act as your breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you want to try and make sure that it's a good substitute for a well-balanced meal.
Include 1 serving of protein of your choice. This is really important to make you feel full after enjoying the smoothie, and for controlling your blood sugar levels nicely. Use a good-quality whey/pea/rice protein powder, plain yoghurt, or milk in your smoothie to help you stay satisfied for longer and maintain better blood glucose control.
Add 1/2 cup frozen/fresh fruit of choice.Try not to keep to 1-2 servings of fruit per smoothie to manage the total energy and sugar content of your smoothie. Banana, berries, mango, and pineapple are so delicious in smoothies! For lower sugar options try and stick to berries.
If you can, add a handful of healthy greens like baby spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost.
Add 1 Tbsp healthy fat, such as almond butter, raw nuts, seeds, or coconut oil to boost the energy content and lower the overall GI of your smoothie.
Up the fibre content of your smoothie by adding in 1 Tbsp chia seeds, flax seeds, or psyllium husk.
Mix things up with spices & flavours such as cinnamon, mint, ginger, vanilla extract, or cacao.
For extra sustenance, add a little bit of high-quality, low GI carbohydrate for an extra boost of energy and to keep you full for longer. For example, add 2 Tbsp rolled oats for extra sustenance.
Winning smoothie tips
Here are some handy tips that will make life really easy in the mornings when you want to make the perfect smoothie at home:
Frozen fruit is your best friend. If you have any fruit that's about to go off or is just a bit too ripe to enjoy on its own, chop it up into smallish chunks and freeze it in freezer-safe bags or containers. Frozen fruit is also often available all year round, at more affordable prices, and can often be more nutritious in terms of vitamin content if they've been frozen quickly and correctly. Frozen fruit does a great job of making your smoothies really nice and cold, which is of great advantage if you make one as a take-away breakfast (no cooler bag needed!).
Believe it or not, frozen veggies are also great smoothie ingredients! If you have too many veggies in your fridge at the end of the week and they're going to go off sometime soon, wash, chop, and store them in freezer-safe bags or containers. Adding frozen veggies like spinach, kale, celery, and carrots to your smoothies will instantly add more fibre and goodness. Cook or steam beetroot, carrots, pumpkin, or sweet potatoes, and blend them before freezing them in ice trays for use in smoothies.
Use the whole fruit and vegetable to make your smoothie. Use the skin and pulp of the fruit that you're using to make your smoothie to instantly maximize your fibre intake. The fibre found in fruit peels plays an important role in slowing down the rate at which fruit sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream, thus contributing to more steady glucose levels, also keeping you fuller for longer.
Ice trays are the best! As already mentioned, you can blend cooked veggies like beetroot, sweet potato, and carrots and freeze them in ice trays for use in smoothies. You can also use ice trays to freeze leftover coconut milk, orange juice, nut milk, coffee, or tea. Make sure to use different trays for different liquids, or better yet pop out the cubes when they are frozen and place into freezer-safe bags that are labelled properly.
Make your own smoothie packs! Portion and pack some of your favorite smoothie ingredients in their own freezer-safe bag or container for a quick and easy way to make breakfast. All you will need to do is add the frozen ingredients to a blender along with a liquid, some protein, and whatever else your smoothie needs, and voila! A quick and easy brekkie will be ready in seconds.
Get yourself a good-quality, high-speed blender. As tempting as it may be to buy a budget blender, you're not doing yourself any favours in the long run. Frozen fruit and ice blocks can wear down the blades and turning mechanism of poorly-made blenders very quickly, and before you know it you're going to need to buy a new one. Save up a bit and buy a proper blender. I really enjoy my Nutribullet, but there are many other really good-quality blenders out there too. Do your research and read online reviews before purchasing.
Some more of my favourite healthy smoothies
Do yourself a favour and check out these recipes (after making my Tropical Breakfast Smoothie of course ;) ):
Total time: 10min
Serves: 1
1/2 frozen banana
1/3-1/2 cup fresh or frozen mango
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup whole rolled oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon
A handful of small ice blocks
1/2 cup water (as needed)
Add all of the ingredients to a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into a glass, bowl, or take-away jar and enjoy with some of your favourite toppings.
Enjoy with toppings such as:
- Desiccated coconut
- Chia seeds
- Homemade granola
- Fresh mango

Spain will take on top seeds Australia in the Hopman cup on Thursday for a place in the final to be held in Perth on Saturday. Spain, seeded fourth in the tournament, has won both of its ties prior to this convincingly, by whitewashing both Romania and the US 3-0.
Spain is being represented at the tournament by Tommy Robredo, ranked 16 in the men's rankings, and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez, who is at number 16 in the women's rankings. Both of them have been in sublime form and have not lost even a single match in the competition up to now.
Robredo will take on Hewitt and Martinez Sanchez will face Samantha Stosur in the singles matches. For a place in the final, the Australians need to win the tie 3-0 without dropping a set, whereas the Spaniards just need to make sure that they are on the right side of the line if there is a tie between two or more teams and a count back is needed to be enforced.

Here's one way to get your keys out of your Ford F-250. It might not be the best way, but it's one way.
It's not entirely clear if this video is a faked setup, done with the truck largely dismantled. One LiveLeak commenter notes
Oh bullshit. There is not enough room to do that! No way in fucking hell. I have removed the engines out of those F series trucks quite a few times and there is no way in hell you'd ever be able to do that with the transmission in the vehicle.
There's no transmission in it, that part is for sure.
I'm a professional mechanic for 40 years. Sticking your arm up there and actually getting the keys hooked would be really REALLY difficult.
Please weigh in on the viability of this trick in the comments below.

The 'Santana' Family | Spring Mini Session at Longwood Gardens - Kennett Square, PA
Any place where you can experience a range from tropical forest to the desert coolness is a good one for me. Nayara contacted me to visit Longwood Gardens in Kennet Square with her family and capture some portraits/lifestyle images of them at this gorgeous place. The honest truth is, with the bright and sunny day plus perfect outdoor weather combo, the place was packed. We did our best and I feel like I was able to capture a bit of each of their personalities, and most importantly, the love they have for each other. At the end of the day I realized, each one of them wanted a little bit of love from mom, and those were my favorite images from the lot. It made dodging the crowds all the better to have been able to capture these little moments.

Here's kinda how the weekend went:
Friday night, which has officially turned into our stay in, cook on the grill and watch "Gold Rush" was bliss. After a long hard week, I was so excited about laying around. Wayne cooked some chicken on the grill. I walked in the door, immediately got into my PJ's and started on a new pair of socks. Remember when I told you I wanted to knit a pair ever month this year? Well, February is quickly fading, so I figured I better get moving. Delicate pink socks with white cuffs, toes and heels. Probably will totally regret the white, but it looks precious.
While Wayne watched "Gold Rush" I watched TV in the bedroom. I am sick and tired of Discovery channel toying with my emotions. I refuse to hope and wish for those Alaskan miners to strike gold. I have moved on to 20/20 which told a fascinating story of the Kim family that got lost in Oregon for nine days in 2006.
Saturday morning, I got up to see Leslie off to take the ACT. Said many prayers for her through the morning, and we'll see how she fared in about 6 weeks. Praying for a solid 17 on math scores. I spent the most wonderful day cleaning and knitting and even got on the ellipitical. Never left the house except for a super quick trip to Walmart. We went with our friends to Freedom church on Saturday night to their Valentines banquet. Sat with Heidi and Tim. I absolutely love that girl! We talked each others ears off. I love it when people love Jesus and love each other.
Sunday was well, wonderful. Our church has really gone through some hard dark times over the past few years. The last few months have been extraordinary. Despite (or maybe because of) going through difficult days, God seems to be pouring out a new anointing on this place. I've realized that so many of the people I love dearly are standing beside me ready to really work. God has done cool things in the last few weeks. He has created a sense of unity like I have never felt before. He has spoken a warm blessing over our worship. He has anointed our pastor.
As we sang "Lord. I'm amazed by You" I thought about the words I was singing. "How wide, how deep, how great is Your love for me." His love is never ending. People come and go in your life, in your fellowship. but God is unchanging. That stability holds us as we go through uncertain times. And then it dawns on you one day, that God is doing a new thing in your midst.
I look around this morning and see the faces of people that I love, and that I know love God with all their hearts. I see new faces that God has brought. I realize that although God's ways are not always clear, they are all together trustworthy. There is an unmistakable excitement in the air. He is leading us into a sure place, a place of spiritual prosperity that we were not ready for. Bring it on Jesus. Be big in our midst.

Weekend Catch up
Here's kinda how the weekend went:

You need a plan no matter what goals you are chasing you need a clear plan and path of action to get there
without it you are flying blind and will struggle to achieve what you want.
You also need to have a plan so that when you are feeling lost or like what your doing isn't worth it then you can
go back to your plan and see where you are at and how much progress you have made which is a great way to motivate you to keep going.
So whatever goal you have make sure you break it down into smaller goals and make plans around each goal and how you are going to reach them
this is crucial and will save you heaps of time in the long run.
You may find you have to sacrifice some things in order to achieve the desired goal eg sometimes you may have to sacrifice some leisure time or even some
work time to help you achieve a physical goal but this goes both ways so make sure you clear on your goals and prioritise then effectively in order to
achieve your goals efficiently and effectively.
Committed to your success

Tony! Toni! Toné! to replace Salt-N-Pepa at State Fair concert
There's a bit of bad news for those who wanted to "push it real good" with Salt-N-Pepa on July 8 at the California State Fair.
This show, the kick-off for the California State Fair Toyota Concert Series, has been canceled due to an undisclosed medical issue, according to fair organizers. Those who purchased reserved seats will receive a refund.
And now for some good news. Tony! Toni! Toné! will take Salt-N-Pepa's place on the July 8 bill. The Bay Area band, which once featured the Sacramentan Raphael Saadiq, is best known for the R&B hits "Little Walter," "It Never Rains (In Southern California)" and the appropriately titled "Feels Good."
The 8 p.m. show is free for fair attendees but requires a wristband that's available on a first-come, first-serve basis starting at 4 p.m. The wristbands can be picked up at the Golden 1 Stage. Reserved seats are also available for $15 (wine slushy and corn dog not included).

Our say | We can't see the cricket. Thank God for that
AUSTRALIA'S summer of international cricket officially got under way on Sunday, but few outside of the sport's keenest fans would have realised.
What is set to be one of cricket's most important summers in the past 40 years began with a whimper, not a bang, at Perth's dazzling new stadium as the Australians meekly surrendered to South Africa in the first game of a three-game one-day series.
Outside of the 60,000 fans at the game, however, for the first time only viewers with access to pay television were able to tune in to watch the match.
A new broadcasting deal you struck earlier this year will see the Seven Network broadcast international matches this year, instead of the usual voices on Nine, with Foxtel also gaining a greater slice of the action. And the first real casualties have been international one-day matches which, until now, have always been shown on free-to-air TV.
While the broadcasting deal was a lucrative one – worth more than $1 billion to Cricket Australia over six years – there will also be a significant cost.
With only about one-third of Australian homes having access to pay television, two-thirds of the country is no longer able to watch the Australian one-day team in action.
And sports officials are keenly aware that taking matches off free-to-air inevitably means a massive drop in public interest in those fixtures.
But at a time when Australian cricket is still reeling from the ball-tampering affair in South Africa and when selectors seem to be blooding new faces in every match, a drop in interest is the last thing cricket needs.
Professional sport survives and thrives on a cult of personality surrounding the biggest names, and Australian cricket is lacking in big names at present.
With Steve Smith and David Warner serving 12-month suspensions for their roles in the ball-tampering affair, cricket needs new heroes to capture the public's imagination.
But that simply won't happen while the national side is confined to playing its matches in the backblocks of pay-TV.
The broadcasting deal gave Cricket Australia a massive injection of funds but its timing could not have been worse.
But with Australia struggling terribly in the middle, the nation's most loyal cricket fans might be happy they can't watch the unfolding trainwreck.

Superposition Studio panel discussion
Saturday, 19 May, 3–5 pm
Price: Free
At: Superposition Studio, Cockatoo Island
Join us for a Superposition Studio panel discussion with artists and designers working across architecture, installation and speculative projects.
Join us for a Superposition Studio panel discussion with special guests, including designer Linda Kennedy (Future Black), artist, poet, and activist Lorna Munro, artist and activist Keg de Souza, and Future Method (Genevieve Murray and Joel Spring), designers working across architecture, installation and speculative projects.
The panel will interrogate the instruments of displacement and the implications of radical and unprecedented development on communities such as Redfern, the crucible of Indigenous self-determination.
Superposition Studio, designed by Future Method, is a set of artefacts of sorts: a 'terrazzo' table top made from Redfern demolition rubble, used scaffolding mesh, and graffitied construction hoarding from their neighbourhood. According to the Future Method, 'the materials in Superposition Studio are a collection of patterns, words, materials and textures that make up the temporal city. This version of the city is the one left behind by development and renewal – the debris of displacement'.
This event will be taking place on unceded Gadigal land, part of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and future.
With thanks to Bellevarde Constructions

- Chick pea and spinach Curry
- Potato and Pea Curry
- Mixed Veg Curry
- Black Beans with Greens and Rice

Namdi, the chef, is a former monk from Tibet, who as a young man joined thousands of others to flee over the Himalayan Mountains into India during the invasion. He does not say much about this, but simply explains 'it was very difficult'. Today, Tibetan Memories café at the Good Heart in Frome, has an ethos of 'exploring kindness' and encourages customers to 'pay it forward' by buying tickets for meals, so that those less fortunate are able to enjoy hot, wholesome and nutritious food. In the brutally cold weeks of the recent winter, many of Frome's homeless were heartened by the generosity and kindness of 'strangers' who enabled them to weather the winter hardship.

After the conference, I went to a meeting with some of the ISVs, we discussed what some of the changes in upcoming versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP would affect software developers and their products.
Finally, the work for the day was over, now it was time to play. Rob Wagner from the Development team had organised tickets for me, Mariano and Leslie to the Blizzard Music Tour concert in Fargo with the bands 3OH!3 and Nelly. Sadly, Mariano had to leave earlier than originally planned and could not make it. That was alright as we used his ticket and a couple of additional tickets for the GDL team guys Nilesh, Paramesh & Savitha to join us.
Rob Wagner, Leslie Vail and David Musgrave about to head to the concert.
We arrived a little after the start, which means we missed some of the lesser known bands. When we arrived, Australian band Sick Puppies were playing (YouTube channel). After their set, the crew set up the stage for 3OH!3.
3OH!3 in action.
Once the stage was ready, 3OH!3 came on and sung a number tracks including the chart toppers, Starstrukk and Double Vision (click for video clips).
Nilesh (doing the 3OH!3 symbol), Savitha & Paramesh at the concert.
Leslie (on her second bucket of pop corn) and Rob.
After another break for the crew to set up, Nelly came out and performed. He finished the concert with one of my current favourite tracks, Just a Dream (click for video clip).
Because we had arrived after the concert had already started, we ended up having to park at a nearby shopping mall carpark and catch a school bus into the concert venue. After the concert we had catch a school bus back to the where Rob's car was. We don't have yellow school bus like that in Perth, so I decided to take a couple of photos to show that they do exist in the US and not just in the movies.
The wheels on the bus go round and round.
David attending Fargo Schools.... or not.
After the concert we had a little time to unwind back at the Ramada. I even got to be a geek (well a little more than usual) and demonstrate my HTC Mozart Windows Phone 7 device to Andrea (AKA An-Drey-Argghhh).
Andrea checking out how cool Windows Phone 7 is.
Another late night. But it was fun. Thanks Rob for organising it.

2 more final tables last night, not the $3k last night, but the bigger £12k and £8k tournaments. Where is the leaderboard competition when you need it!
It was £480 return in both tournaments - 7th in the £12k and 5th in the £8k.
I do have a really good record at the end of each month, when I have not won much at the beginning. Its that look at the records and seeing a very small figure in the profit column that inspires me to do something about it. £960 last night and $1500 from the previous three evenings has helped address the balance.
A night off tonight as its my football clubs poker night. It won't be for large amounts of money, but I fully intend to win!

The Secret to a Successful Career
I believe the secret to a successful career is multiple careers. I recently read an inspiring article in the Harvard Business Review by bestselling author, Kabir Sehgal. Sehgal recommends we all have at least two careers.
Ask yourself if you are one-hundred percent satisfied with the work you currently do? My guess is you probably are not. We all have side passions we would like to pursue but we don't always know how to get started. I have a solution at the end of this article to help you with this.
In the article, Sehgal writes, "I'm a corporate strategist at a Fortune 500 company, US Navy Reserve officer, author of several books, and record producer…" He goes on to explain that working many jobs makes him happier and leaves him feeling more fulfilled.
Isn't this what we all want, happiness and fulfillment?
I considered this idea as I read his article. I'm an author, speaker, improv performer, digital marketing consultant and coach. What is key is you find ways to balance the things you love with your schedule and what pays your bills.
When you work a single job for someone and earn a steady paycheck and benefits, you can easily become complacent. I believe everyone should be doing what's commonly known as a "side hustle". This doesn't mean spending your business hours working on a side project, that's not ethical to the person paying for your time. Nor, do I suggest you quit your day job altogether and hope your new passion works out. I do want you to consider what you could be doing in addition to what is currently paying your bills. Is there a passion you have wanted to explore? I bet you could spend some of those Netflix hours on these ideas.
Sehgal suggests you find different circles of people based on the areas you wish to explore on the side. Ask your friends and colleagues, use sites like Meetup.com, or do a simple Google search to find local communities. These communities also exist online in Facebook Groups and Google+ Communities. We even have one here you should join.
Sehgal also makes a great point about realizing that what you learn in a side business can help you bring new ideas to the other work that you do. This makes you a well rounded and forward-thinking asset to the people you work with.
I often reflect on this in the work that I do for my clients. For example, I take the skills I have learned performing improv to my speaking engagements and workshops. I take my marketing experience to teach my clients how to improve their businesses online.
How to find a job you love
If you are feeling stuck in your work today, or you are seeking ways to get started working on a side project you are passionate about, I have some ideas to help you find a job you love. I will literally walk you through each step to getting started doing the work you love.
"I consider myself to be quite good at networking, and this course gave me quite a few new tools for my toolbox! I put Dave Delaney's approach to the test in selecting and attending a conference less than 2 weeks ago, and I landed a new client. Now that's an amazing ROI! Thanks Dave!" - Lesley Antoun.

Homeschool STEAM class/
- Today our home school STEAM students participated in a Bridge Test! They had already spent weeks designing, engineering and finally building their bridges from Popsicle sticks, to be able to finally test their strength today! Using 3.5 lb bags of sand students competed with their bridge designs to determine who's bridge held the most weight prior to collapse. Today we had a bridge sustand over 50 lb of weight prior to collapse! That is outstanding. Way to go Nancy Roberts for still having a strong bridge that failed to collapse at 50 plus lbs made from Popsicle sticks, glue and good design! Way to go to John as runner up- his bridge sustained almost 50 lbs!

I know many of you remember the old Windows 3.11 days, when not only was there no product activation but there was also no ~15-digit license key code required for activation or registration of your shiny new WfW install. Refreshingly, my switch to OS X back in November of 2001 brought back memories of simpler times, since the install media was completely free of any attempts to enforce a per-machine license term. (Of course, Linux users still live in those days.) A friend of mine even borrowed my 10.1 disk since he'd lost his, and there was zero hassle involved since I didn't have to give him a long license key.
Well, Apple has now announced a new license plan for Jaguar that makes it legal for people to do what they were already going to do anyway: install one copy of OS X 10.2 on up to 5 machines, without having to shell out $129 to get a license for each copy. This move is mostly a just PR bonus for Apple, since it allows them to score points against MS without really losing any money. They know that people are going to buy only one copy for their house and install it on all their machines, and by giving this practice the official o.k. they get to look like good guys at a time when MS's customers, both corporate and consumer, are getting increasingly incensed by new licensing schemes like WPA and Select 6.0. And right now, the gang in Cupertino really are the good guys when it comes to software licensing, DRM, etc..
But such liberality on the issue of intellectual property is a classic underdog stance used by small software houses, indie bands, third world countries, and anyone else who's battling an 800 lb gorilla. One wonders how much market share Apple will have to gain before it pulls an about-face and starts piling on the anti-piracy measures ala MS. If you'll recall the WfW 3.11 days again, MS achieved desktop domination precisely by making it easy for anyone and everyone to install Windows whether they paid for it or not. Windows became a de facto standard because it was virtually free for a large portion of its users. Just bring the Windows disk home from work or borrow it from a friend and you were set. It wasn't until everybody was using Windows that MS got serious about charging people for it.
Don't get me wrong--I think this is a great move on Apple's part and I applaud them for it. But Apple has been known to use the old bait-n-switch before (.Mac?), and I don't doubt that they'll use it again when the time is right. So enjoy the freebies while they last.

Since 1985, the Sexual Violence Center has been serving youth and adult victim/survivors of sexual violence 12 years of age and older. We work in Hennepin, Carver and Scott counties, with services coordinated out of our office in Minneapolis. We will never turn anyone away from service if they live outside of these counties, but can often refer people to a local agency that has connections with more specific resources to help.
At the Sexual Violence Center, all of our services are provided by sexual assault advocates. The role of an advocate is to provide information, offer options and support victims and survivors in their decisions. It is up to you to determine which paths are best to take. You are your own best expert. You possess the power to define your own healing process. The advocate is in the role of facilitator. By sharing knowledge, giving choices, and acting as a liaison to various points in the system, our advocates are here to empower you.
The ultimate goal of a sexual assault advocate is to provide enough support so that eventually you will no longer need the advocate's help. The advocate fosters an environment of independence, so you gain confidence in your choices and begin to trust your own decisions and advocate for yourself.
Strategic Goals:
- Expanding service to victim survivors.
- Reach targeted communities who currently underutilize our services
- Raise public awareness of the SVC and our mission
- Enhance fiscal position to further our mission
Annual Budget: $800,000 – Federal or State Contracts, Foundation, Individual Contributions
Sexual Violence Center is seeking two candidates with a passion for its mission who have the following skills and experience:
- Board governance
- Financial management
- Fundraising
- Management and leadership
- Marketing & Communications
- Public Policy & Advocacy
- Strategic and business planning
After reviewing the SVC's website, if a person can support those activities from the position of board members (no direct services with victim survivors), that person is for us.
- Number of members currently: 11
- Meeting time and frequency: Monthly
- Meeting location: Minneapolis
- Time Expectation: More than 10 hours per month
- Financial Contribution Required: Yes, at a level meaningful to the board member
- Service on Committee Required: Yes
- Length of Term: Two years
- Renewable: Yes

MMAFighting – A lightweight bout between Gilbert Burns and Olivier Aubin-Mercier has been scratched from the fight card of UFC on FOX 28…..the UFC explained that upon Burns' arrival to fight week, the promotion's medical team "determined that it would be unsafe for Burns to cut additional weight necessary to meet the 156-pound limit," and thus pulled the Brazilian off the Feb. 24 card……Burns arrived in Orlando weighing 186 pounds.
I know this isn't page-burning stuff but given the fact that safer weight cutting/weight divisions have been a huge topic in combat sports, particularly MMA, over the past year or so I figured I'd drop a quick one on the subject.
Gilbert "Durinho" Burns, for all intents and purposes, showed up to fight week prepared to cut 30 pounds in about 48 hours. That is an insane amount of weight. That also is isn't the headline of this story. I'm sure, although not disclosed, that fighters have showed up this heavy plenty of times. But that was before the CSAC in particular passed their stricter weight cutting rules last spring. That was before a number of guys like Renan Barao almost died cutting weight. That was before a Teenage Muay Thai fighter from Australia did. No, the big story here is that well before he even gave his cut a shot, The UFC medical team prevented him from doing so. They pulled the chord. They put their hands together and said, "you know what, we cannot in good conscience let you do this."
I try not to weigh in on these things because largely I think it's up to a grown man/woman to decide what they want to do to their bodies. It's their body and their career. However in this case, where Burns was truly in danger of hurting himself, and has a history of not taking his weight seriously at that, I think it only makes sense to err on the side of caution.
This indeed sets a hell of a precendence for fighters moving forward. Guys and gals like Daniel Cormier (who is actually fighting back at heavyweight next) who always make their trip to the scale a dramatic scene might have to start making some serious life, or division, choices.

For reliable heat choose a Bryant Legacy 80% gas furnace. This economical gas furnace is a hard worker that will heat year in and year out. Computerized controls help circulate heat efficiently and evenly through your home cutting energy bills by as much as 25% compared to your older 80% furnace.
Reliable basic furnace stands alone or works great as backup heat source when paired with a Bryant heat pump in an efficient hybrid system.
Comfort and quiet with reliable operation. A one-stage gas valve heats in on-off mode. That means when it senses the house is below your set temperature, it kicks into action. This Legacy furnace has a PSC blower motor and is heat pump compatible.
A great warranty lets you enjoy your comfort with confidence. Bryant builds trusted reliability into every product then provides additional protection. 10-year standard parts limited warranty and 20 year heat exchanger limited warranty must be registered within 90 days of installation through Bryant.
310 Bryant Legacy Gas Furnace Consumer Brochure
Like a new pair of shoes, the features you choose are up to you, but any gas furnace will need to be sized properly for your house. Our Home Energy Specialist will perform calculations to determine the right size of furnace to fit your heating system and will share options that will meet your needs. So don't hold back in telling them how your rooms feel or about comfort issues you have. They are there to help create solutions. Call or fill out the free estimate form to schedule your free in-home estimate.
The Home Energy Specialist will be looking at your entire house, and the whole heating system, not just your existing furnace. This will include square footage, ductwork, home layout, windows and insulation as well. We follow state code and industry standards for calculating your home's heating and cooling loads. Your personal needs and comfort preferences will be incorporated with the technical requirements of the house to offer you options for your heating system.
Just like your car's parts will eventually wear and require replacement, so will your furnace. In fact, with our longer heating season in Seattle, your furnace is getting a lot of wear and tear every year. Common signs are strange noises such as popping, banging, rattling or squealing furnace noises. If you hear your blower turn on excessively or blow cold air out at times, that is a good signal that you should consider looking into replacing your furnace or at minimum, having it serviced.
As your furnace ages, it works harder and harder to produce the same heat. Furnaces are made to last between 15-20 years, with annual maintenance and filter changes. So if you have not been doing that, you may find your furnace aging faster. One sign you are getting toward end of life for the furnace is an increasing gas bill or need to turn up the thermostat to make the house feel as cozy. That means less efficient heating is going on and key pieces of the heating system may be failing. We recommend starting your process with a diagnostic service appointment for $99 to determine the health of your furnace. This service will give you a good indication of the health of your system and you can plan for the larger expense of furnace replacement down the road. Call today or use the free estimate form on this page to request service.

Have you been hurt by a church? If so, you're not alone. As a pastor of a church, I've heard stories from people who have found church confusing, contrarian, or even damaging. Not every church hurts people, but most churches have hurt someone at some point. Some people are hurt through their own mistakes, others because of sin committed against them, and still others because of failed leadership. This reality can leave them reluctant to re-engage, afraid of being hurt again, wanting to protect themselves, and questioning the place of church in their lives. The good news for the hurting is that God has spoken to your pain in the Bible.
Most of the writing in the New Testament about how to live in a church exists because the church has never been perfect. Most, if not all, of the letters were written to solve problems in the church:
- Galatians to solve legalism (Galatians 1:6–7, 3:1–3, 4:9, 5:1).
- Colossians to solve heresy (Colossians 2:4, 8).
- 2 Timothy to solve tension in succession (2 Timothy 4:9–16).
- Philippians to solve conflict and selfish ambition (Philippians 2:3–22).
- 1 and 2 Corinthians to solve a whole host of problems centered around the issues of human pride in gifting and speaking that led to loveless and arrogant religious activity.

June 1, 2017
By a 23-14 vote, the California Senate approved the Healthy California Act (SB-562) on June 1, 2017. If enacted into law, the bill would create a single payer, universal healthcare program for everyone in the state. The Senate passed the measure despite acknowledgment by some lawmakers that there remain many unanswered questions about how the program will work and be funded.
The bill still faces significant challenges. It must now move to the General Assembly where it is expected to meet serious opposition. If the General Assembly approves, Governor Jerry Brown, who has previously expressed concern about the cost of the program, must also approve the bill in order for it to become law.

Space Station Braces for Flying Sauces
Boomers will recall that Tang, that grainy orange beverage, was the breakfast drink of astronauts. And remember those freeze-dried packages of ice cream that contained a substance that tasted like slick and sickly sweet paint chips? And then there were Pillsbury's Space Food Energy Sticks. Don't ask.
Well, that was then.
According to the Food Network, Chef Emeril Lagasse has whipped up a meal for the International space station astronauts--Mardi Gras jambalaya, kicked-up mashed potatoes with bacon, green beans with garlic, rice pudding, and mixed fruit--a feast that will be captured on NASA TV Aug. 10, when the astronauts will also get to talk to Lagasse.
The food was shipped to the space station on shuttle Discovery's flight last month.
There will be a follow-up special on Food Network in October chronicling the trip from Emeril's kitchen, OK, the NASA Space Food Lab, to the space station.

Traveling to New York City is one of my favorite things to do because of the city's amazing food, cute shops, and famous museums. This past Saturday, I went on a day trip, starting at Juicy Cube, a juice bar also selling smoothies and bubble tea.
I had a Thai Iced Bubble Tea which I shared with my friend. It was very refreshing and delicious! I would definitely recommend visiting Juicy Cube because of their quick service and amazing variety of drinks. Next time, I definitely want to try the young coconut blends because they use the meat and water of a fresh coconut.
Next, I went to the Museum of Modern Art. My favorite exhibit was called A Japanese Constellation, which showcased Japanese architects' designs and buildings.
I also saw numerous well known paintings such as the work of Vincent Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo.
Finally, I walked to the Midtown Momofuku Milk Bar. I was absolutely elated to finally try the desserts at the Milk Bar because I have heard so much about this bakery!
I ended up ordering a cereal milk soft serve and a pack of three birthday cake "truffles". The cereal milk soft serve tasted very similar to a mainly Asian drink called Ovaltine that I had in Hong Kong. It satisfied my sweet tooth and it was refreshing, but I don't quite understand the popularity of cereal milk…I probably would not order this again. However, the birthday cake truffles tasted exactly like a Funfetti cake, without all the cringe-worthy ingredients! Overall, I think the trip to the Milk Bar was an exciting experience (complete with a 30 minute wait), and if you haven't been there, definitely go!
I had a wonderful time with my friends in NYC. Where should I visit next time I head to New York?

This is a recipe from Claudia Roden, the queen of Middle Eastern cooking.
I sauté courgettes and onions. I soak two thick slices of white bread in a little milk. I beat 6 eggs and add the squeezed out bread, the vegetables, a handful of chopped herbs, salt and pepper. I pour the mixture into a well-buttered oven dish, cover it with dampened oven paper and put it into a 160°oven for 30 minutes. I remove the paper and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes. I turn it out of the dish (actually, a non-stick roasting tin would make life easier here) and serve it at room temperature.
Eggah is really nice cut into small squares to serve with drinks.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- SLM Corp. SLM, +3.44%, better known as Sallie Mae, said Tuesday it will not retract its $1 billion offer to purchase the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, though the bid was rejected Monday by the financial-aid organization. "We so believe in the value of this business proposition for all parties that we do not retract our offer, but rather seek a fairer hearing of its details," said Sallie Mae CEO Albert Lord in a statement.

"This government appears determined to take money out of the pockets of low-paid workers, and does not hesitate to break contracts to do it," said Chris Anderson, lead negotiator for 13 unions representing workers who deliver community-based services for vulnerable people including children at risk, children and adults with mental and physical disabilities, and women fleeing abuse.
Anderson said he has just obtained a copy of a letter in which the government says, "due to budget pressure, the ministry will not be able to fund the October 2002 classification/equity increase contained in the collective agreement." The letter, dated Nov. 27, 2003, was sent to the non-profit agencies that provide community services over the signature of Chris Haynes, deputy minister of Children and Family Development.
"It's an arrogant and direct violation of a contract they signed. They haven't even bothered to pass special legislation as they did when they tore up other contracts," he said.
"The government is going back on its word and stealing money from front-line workers who are not paid a lot to begin with," said Anderson. "The government is breaking its agreement to bring these workers in line with others who do similar work."
"This is an outrageous situation. Premier Campbell is offering huge bonuses to people at the top, like Mr. Haynes, rewarding them for taking money out of the pockets of ordinary workers," said Anderson. "Haynes is paid an annual salary of $154,000, and is in line for a bonus of up to $15,400 if he succeeds in driving down other people's wages."
Not satisfied with reneging on the previous salary agreement, the government is also demanding a huge cut in compensation during the current round of bargaining, he added.
"The letter demands that another $35 million be taken from workers in the next contract, and threatens to put community agencies out of business by re-tendering to 'lower cost providers' if they don't knuckle under," said Anderson. "Bullying. Threatening. Breaking contracts. It seems Premier Campbell will stop at nothing in his single-minded determination to drive down the wages of ordinary working people," he said.
The 13 unions in the community social services sector represent approximately 15,000 workers, many of them part time. More than 200 employers are involved in the current round of bargaining. For most workers in this sector, including many with university degrees, the annual salary is approximately $33,000.

The Brunch Market | Urban Roost Event Space
This month's Brunch Market was by far our favorite. We had the perfect weather paired with our black and white American flag, we brought our sweet baby Larry, and of course the lovely surprise of our friend Amanda of Amanda Krovic Design showing up with her hand-lettered custom cards! We got the infamous pepper jack chicken biscuit (as always) and had a blast with new guests mixed with some good ol' regulars.

Service As a Product: Evolving Business Models of Industrial Manufacturers & Consumer Product Companies
Generally, large Industrial Equipment Manufacturers have complex products and long equipment service lives. Their current business model can be summed up in two parts a) one-time selling cost of the original equipment (OE) b) service revenue which is typically 3 - 5 times the OE selling price
Most equipment is serviced on a Time and Material basis, creating unpredictable costs for the end customers. Risk is transferred mostly to the end customers.
Futuristic Business Models Due to IoT, Big Data, Cloud, AI and Mobile
With the advent of modern platforms that can process and store enormous amounts of data in real-time and never purge any data like past relational data stores, companies can now monitor & service the critical equipment globally. They can leverage Modern Intelligent Field Service Algorithms and Asset Cloud Applications which can sense anomalies and create work orders automatically in real-time. The right spare parts are scheduled automatically with no human intervention. Field service scheduling will be coordinated alongside drone delivering critical spare parts. This would be from the nearest warehouse, at the right time and right place. These applications will be learning continuously, with every digital interaction becoming smarter and smarter.
Radically New Business Models Emerging
Industrial Manufacturers will start to offer real-time monitoring services, new guarantees and warranty models all with upfront predictable fixed price for the life cycle of equipment. This will drive predictable costs for the end customers, which in turn will become key differentiators in the sales cycle.
Manufacturers who are smart enough to rapidly modernize underlying decades-old systems to these new connected real-time predictive systems will be able to feed close to real-time learning into their product design with reliability improvements at an unprecedented speed. Their services revenue will become highly predictable with greater profit margins and at the same time transferring the risk from the customer. All products will eventually become a commodity, however service coupled with customer experience will be the key future differentiator.
Consumer Products World Will Change as Well
When you need a refrigerator you will not be going to Home Depot or Lowes. Instead, you put on your Oculus VR or Google VR and interact with all models. You will take a picture of your space, the exact depth and size for a perfect fit detected automatically. When you place the order, you will be given a monthly subscription by Samsung, LG, GE, Whirlpool directly which will include guaranteed up-time, monitoring and all spares covered for product lifetime. This will facilitate direct relationships with the end customers, which consumer product companies are lacking today.
I forgot to add that your refrigerator order will be dispatched via a Self Driving Uberized Truck and if you ordered a toaster, it will be drone delivering at your doorstep. Your delivery time will be exact to about 5 minutes with no more 6 hour horrible windows.

The God Particle
It was a sunny morning when a field trip was scheduled to the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, better known as SLAC. Freshmen students across the board were invited to attend. The university was only a short jaunt up the highway to Palo Alto—less than an hour drive during off rush hours. The students were escorted by professors Wishbone and professor Wisenheirmer.
When they arrived, they were greeted by a research associate assigned to the welcoming committee. The first thing he did was to show them a row of photo portraits of famed scientist of theoretical physics, such as Einstein and Max Planck. He emphasized that Planck was a German theoretical physicist who originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.
The associate then lead them to an aerial view showing the laboratory followed by an artist conception of the lab layout. The main accelerator is 2 miles long—the longest linear accelerator in the world—and has been operational since 1966, he boasted.
Then he went on to explain how scientist are continuing to explore the outer most realms of space, while on the other hand they're also looking into the deepest realms of inner space—uncovering mysteries of subatomic particles to the structure of matter.
"As far as atom smashing is concerned," the associate continued, "The work at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland is currently leading edge; especially with the discovery of the Higgs boson, also known as The God Particle. See the photograph on the wall. Physicists believe that the boson, and the energy field associated with it, were key to the formation of the universe 13.7 billion years ago—bringing together particles in the wake of the Big Bang, and helping stars and planets to form."
Just then Professor Wishbone nudged his way through the crowd and confronted the associate saying, "What's the deal with the nomenclature 'The God Particle?' What God particle? I'm a Paleontology guru, and not savvy in these theories of particle physics."
Wisenheirmer, who was standing near said under his breath, "Oh boy, here we go. He's gonna lock horns with this unsuspecting research associate."
The associate responded, "I understand your concern. In fact, many scientist are not comfortable with the name 'God Particle.' They also object because of the religious connotations, Believe me, there has been, and still is, a great deal of ruckus among talking heads from both the secular and religious scientific communities."
"So those scientist that do accept the name," continued Wishbone, "are they trying to say that God exist? What solid proof do they have?"
"It's just a name professor. For the religious population, the God Particle, is just like any other particle—a neutron, a meson, or quark—it's God's particle."
"There you go again."
After the tour, everyone headed outside to the buses for the return trip. At that time Wishbone approached Wisenheirmer and asked him, "What's that smirk on your face all about?"
"It's just a name professor," Wisenheirmer replied. "Remember these guys are called 'theoretical' physicist. Theory, it's all just theory. Similar to much of our work."
As the buses pulled off, professor Wishbone seemed to still pout about the entire experience. In the mean time, some of the students tried not to show their attempts to hold in their inner ridicule of how foolish the professor came across.
The following YouTube video shows clips from a typical tour of the complex:

Lisa & Lachlan [Adelaide Engagement Photographer]
Back in April, I spent a lovely, overcast afternoon with these two gorgeous souls. Even when it began to drizzle, these two didn't let it get to them. They even agreed to some fence jumping so we could make the most of the glorious flat light. So Lisa & Lachlan, thank you so very much for your brave attitudes and sweet spirits. You made these photographs.
