More casting information about director Adam McKay's upcoming Dick Cheney biopic, including the actors currently being eyed for the role of George W. Bush, has come to light. Back in 2015, McKay made the jump from Will Ferrell comedies to more serious fare by helming the Oscar-winning The Big Short, which examined the housing market crash of the 2000s. The filmmaker looks to continue this trend with his next project, covering the life and career of former U.S. vice president Cheney. McKay's Big Short star Christian Bale is locked in as the lead role, already undergoing one of his famed body transformations to play the part.
At the time Bale's involvement was made official, it was said other A-listers would be joining him. Amy Adams, who starred alongside Bale in American Hustle, was circling the role of Cheney's wife Lynne, while Steve Carell (another Big Short alum) would play Donald Rumsfeld. Of course, given all the prominent political figures of that era, the cast was only expected to grow from there. It's now been revealed what other stars are under consideration for the rest of the ensemble.
According to That Hashtag Show, there are three key roles in the process of being cast. In the running for George W. Bush (who was president while Cheney was VP) are Academy Award nominee Edward Norton and former X-Men star James Marsden. Hashtag Show confirms the earlier reports of Adams as Lynne, while also stating Mackenzie Davis (The Martian) is a "top contender" to portray Cheney's daughter, Mary. As for former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a trio of heavy-hitters are being targeted. Where it stands now, that role will go to either Tyler Perry, Cuba Gooding, Jr., or Giancarlo Esposito.
No matter how the rest of this ensemble shakes out, McKay will be working with another stellar cast on the drama. It's no surprise there are so many big names lined up. The Big Short was one of 2015's most-acclaimed films, featuring several strong performances from the likes of Bale, Carell, and Ryan Gosling. All of these actors have great turns under their respective belts (remember, Perry was a scene stealer as the lawyer in Gone Girl), meaning McKay and company have an embarrassment of riches to choose from. Big Short received a Screen Actors Guild nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, so it's safe to say McKay knows how to pick the best actors for his roles.
It is unknown when Dick Cheney will make its way into theaters. Word back in May was McKay and distributor Annapurna Pictures were hoping to start shooting in the spring for a late awards season push, but all has been quiet on that front since. Still, with Bale deep in preparation and various pieces coming to place, it won't be much longer until the cameras start rolling. And if The Big Short is anything to go by, Cheney will be one to watch for the Oscars - whenever it's released.
Screen Rant will keep you updated on the untitled Dick Cheney biopic as more information is revealed.

(From a Person who got a BA in Creative Writing but didn't go for an MFA)*
*To clarify. I earned a Bachelors of Art in Creative Writing at a liberal arts college in a program that was structured to be like the Master of Fine Arts programs with the workshop structure. Although encouraged by my advisor to pursue a MFA, I decided that I wanted "go out in the real world" and stretch my writing wings outside of academia.
Pro: A Writing Community
Being part of a community of artists can be very exciting, very inspiring, and (on the flip side) very intimidating. Regardless, the community aspect is probably the best part of pursuing a degree (whether Bachelors or Masters) in creative writing, as you get to meet and befriend tons of people who are as passionate about writing as you. After all, they are putting their (student loan) dollars where there mouth is.
You can learn so much from your peers both in class, but better, outside of the classroom environment. Whether it's a dedicated 'sit down and write' time shared together, an open mic night, reviewing each other's work outside of class assignments, or sharing ideas over dinner or drinks. Working alongside similarly passionate people can be a real motivation, better than elusive future career success or class grades.
You can create or get involved with communities like this without having to attend a graduate program. Online or in person. Got to a website like meetup.com to find writing groups in your area. With these groups you can learn how to be motivated to write, and to set time aside for writing, outside of having class deadlines. That internal motivation tends to be more elusive.
Con: Only Focuses on One Type of Writing
It's no secret that MFA programs tend to focus on a certain type of writing: literary. If you're more compelled to write strongly in a genre (romance, sci-fi, mystery, childrens, YA, etc) you are probably not going to find the writing advice that you need in an MFA program.
These programs also tend to focus on short stories because of how that fits into the classroom structure. My education on writing longer works is very lacking despite the one novel writing class I took during my Bachelors pursuit.
This is not to say there aren't some skills to be gained for most, if not all writers, from a literary writing education, such as how to construct nice prose and the basics of building a story. You have to consider, however, if the costs and benefits of what you're getting if you don't want to focus on another other than the literary genre.
Pro: Learn from Published Authors
A decent creative writing program will have your creative writing workshops taught/lead by actual published authors. Often, many writing blogs online (like this one *weeping emoiji*) are written by unpublished or poorly published writers. A published author actually knows what's up, has actually succeeded business-wise and artist-wise. Most valuably, they will give you direct feedback to your work.
You can find blogs written by established authors with their advice and perspective. You can find books by established authors with their advice and perspective. Alas, they won't be able to give you direct feedback though.
Con: Can Stifle Your Creativity/Individuality
Perhaps some people flourish under the MFA workshop structure. Looking back, I found it stifling, to the point where I had a hard time writing post graduation for several years. Yes. Years. Please keep in mind, that I found it stifling even though I received As and Bs (mostly As) in all my creative writing/workshop classes, and had several professors (including one who was also my advisor) who were very supportive and encouraging to me in particular.
Why is it stifling? Consider the previous con. For one, it only teaches literary writing/ the literary genre. You don't get to experiment outside of that. You don't study outside of that.
Two, you start writing for a very particular audience. Broadly, the literary-academic audience. Narrowly, your workshop class. Most narrow of all, the professor who will be doling out your grade. You start -- or at least anxious old me started -- to overthink what this class or that classmate or the professor will think about it. With that scrutiny, it's hard to take risks. And it's hard to think about all the other, varied, audiences out there in a world, who would never pick up literary fiction in their life, but are extremely well-read in their genre of choice.
Three, the workshop structure. The workshop has become a bit notorious in the writing blogosphere of late, or at least on the blogs I frequent. For those unfamiliar, a workshop (also known as a critique group in informal settings) is when you send your story out to the class (or informal writing group) beforehand for them to read, and during class time they rip your story a new one. *Clears throat* I mean, critique your story like their grade depends on it.
Honestly, go read Kris Rusch's blog about the 'Serious Writer Voice' for some issues with workshops.
Personally, I found some value to workshops. It taught me to have a tough skin, it helped me learn to show my stories to an audience, and how to receive and perceive criticism. A quick rundown: take critique with grace, do not lash out to defend yourself, listen to the general advice of the critiques (if everyone finds a certain part confusing, for example, might be a sign a part of your story needs clarification of some sort) not the particular advice that tells you what you should do exactly with your story (ex: you should totally kill your character at the end).
Again, some people might flourish under this. I know several people I went to school with are make some splashes in the literary short story world. But you have to be a literary writer.
Con: Lack of Creative Writing Education Outside of Workshop Formats
With my middling feelings about workshops, what I wish is that my workshop education was mixed in with other types of creative writing education. In workshop classes, we either read and critiqued a classmates' writing, or we read real, standup literary writers and classics and talked about them, how they worked, etc. Occasionally we read essays on writing.
I personally, would've loved more practical advice. We are given rules and guidelines in writing, but not always how to achieve them. That advice, the 'how-to' I've found years later, reading author blogs from established writers as well as writing books. Write Tight: Say Exactly What You Mean With Precision and Power by William Brohaugh taught me the 'how to' of precise language, even though my professor always said to make your language precise, for example and also for recommendation.
The Round Up
So, here is my perspective. I do not regret getting my BA in Creative Writing. I would've majored in Literature or English if not Creative Writing, because those are my areas of passion. I don't regret it because it was part of an invaluable college experience where I grew a lot as a person and as a writer, where I made good friends. I also do not regret not pursuing an MFA. (I am now pursuing a Masters in a completely different subject area.) I think I learned what I could and then had to forge my own way.
I know MFAs are a hot topic. Anyone regret their time in a MFA or similar program? Do you wish they were structured differently?

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday said early results from two studies showed that pregnant women who were taking the antidepressant Paxil had an increased risk of having a baby with a heart defect than women taking other antidepressants or women in the general population. The FDA said Paxil's manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline GSK, +0.17%, has updated its drug labeling to reflect the latest data from the studies and has changed the labeling with a stronger warning in its pregnancy category. The FDA said most of the defects reported were atrial and ventricular septal defects, or holes in the walls of the chambers of the heart.

Stop punishing chronic pain patients for the opioid epidemic
0 have signed. Let's get to 5,000!
With opioid overdoses in the news lately, I am scared. I am not alone. Groups such as "The Mighty.com" and Facebook groups such as "dear fibromyalgia", are filled with stories of people who are scared.
For many of us, pain medicines keep us semi-active. We understand that complete pain relief isn't the goal, it's relieving enough so that we can have an improvement in quality of life.
Imagine having the flu, with muscle aches and dizziness, and at the same time, your whole body is sunburned. Add random sharp pains (as if a tack or nail is being hammered into random parts of your body), muscle spasms, and feeling spiders on your skin (then scratch or swat that sunburn). Imagine that all of your senses are intensified. Imagine that your clothes are two sizes too small, and someone keeps moving the thermostat. This is my fibromyalgia. Sometimes the symptoms are less severe, and some days, I don't understand why my body doesn't shut down. Fibromyalgia also makes my other physical issues more painful. I can't remember the last time that I was comfortable, let alone without pain.
I live in pain. Every day. I cannot take the non-opioid medications due to adverse reactions. I take oxycodone. I have taken Percocet, Vicodin, etc. off and on since 1997, daily since 2015. My doctors have seen me when I didn't have any meds for over a month (when I have moved). I have never had withdrawl symptoms, just pain. I have never misused, or shared, my medicine.
This is the brutal, honest truth. If I were unable to have opoids, I would kill myself. I already have days where I can't imagine living the rest of my life...this is the best I am ever going to feel. I have two adult kids who are the reason for not taking my life on the days I don't want to be alive.
I would like the officials who are making these decisions to get an adjoining hotel room with me for a week. I will stop taking my opoids. Maybe then, they will have some idea of the realities for those with daily chronic pain. Maybe they will spend some of the resources on finding a better way to control pain instead of taking away the only thing that provides relief. I take opoids so that I can go to church and my church groups, take walks and do my physical therapy, make healthy meals.
Please break up the statistics to show how many deaths are caused by people without a prescription, people who bought their meds off of the street, how many kill themselves because the pain is too much, etc. Make decisions based on this information. Share this information with the public.
Do the research. Find alternative forms of pain relief. Have insurance cover things such as massage therapy, chiropractors, accupuncture, vitamins, and other alternative forms of pain relief. There are ways for pharmaceutical companies to continue making money..they can do more research on vitamins, absorption, combinations, etc. Allow the vitamins to be sold by these companies with FDA oversight (guarantee the amount of the actual mineral or vitamin in the pills, let them compete to find the best absorption rate, etc.)
Realize that the systems in place, when enforced, work. I go to a pain clinic. Once a month I am drug tested, and my pills are counted. I know that they can call me at any time for a random pill count. My doctor is trained to look for signs of overuse and addiction.
Don't make me pay for others' misuse. You will see an increase in suicides. I guarantee it.
***UPDATE: Trumps Speech 10/26/2017
Wow, watching this speech, and am surprised by some of his plans. Spending money to find non-addictive pain relievers, fighting the illegal use and importation of drugs. Increasing access to treatment is great, if the addicts WANT treatment. Also, the Guardian angels, same as the treatment systems,
However, companies limiting meds to 7 days? So does that mean I have to see my pain doctor once a week? Even if they will take the 30 day script, I will still have to get to the pharmacy weekly. I don't drive. Many of us don't. Spending money for commercials? That's just silly. Drug addicts don't care about commercials, or that they are funding the bad guys.

Choral Music & Voice
Founders Choir
Founders Choir is open to all students regardless of prior vocal experience and focuses on building individual and ensemble singing skills. Students learn basics of healthy singing through performance of a wide range of musical styles, as well as weekly small group or individual voice lessons, plus sight singing and theory practice using Auralia and Musition software. Choir students perform (both as a standalone choir, and in conjunction with our Andrean Ensemble and Noxontones groups) at School gatherings, in the School chapel, at the National Cathedral, and at our annual Service of Lessons and Carols. This course also prepares singers who would like to sing in the Andrean Ensemble or Noxontones.
Andrean Ensemble
The Andrean Ensemble is designed to develop the complete choral singer, and to cultivate a lifelong ability and love for music-making. Everything we do is designed to ensure that singers grow as individuals, as choral singers, and as interpreters of music. Graduates of the Andrean Ensemble program often go on to sing in some of the finest collegiate ensembles in the country. Repertoire comprises both larger works, such as Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, Bach cantatas, and selections from Handel's Messiah, as well as sacred and secular choral music from the Medieval to the present day, and from around the world.
As a singer in the Andrean Ensemble, students are given:
- individual vocal instruction once every other week; developing their vocal technique, sight-singing, and aural skills,
- specific and individualized practice of music theory and ear training skills using Musition and Auralia software,
- the opportunity to perform frequently on campus and throughout the mid-Atlantic region, and
- national and international choral tours and recordings in alternate years (most recently, to Cuba in 2015-16, and Bermuda in 2017-2018), and the opportunity to perform in notable venues throughout the country and the world.
Andrean Ensemble is open to students in all Forms with audition and permission. Andrean Ensemble is a yearlong, half-credit course that meets for two to three class periods per week. Students with little or no previous singing experience are encouraged to begin their vocal musical education in our Founder's Choir course.

Private voice lessons are available for all students (whether or not they participate in our of our choral music ensembles) for an additional fee. Students may take private voice lessons during the school day, evenings, or on weekends. Interested students should contact Quinn Kerrane at email@example.com.

Touring with the Andrean Ensemble was invaluable: it allowed me to connect to the pieces in our repertoire more profoundly. Whether we were singing an open worship service in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, or an intimate recital at a conservatory in Slovakia, performing in diverse venues helped teach us as a choir musical nuances that can only be understood through traveling. My tours with the Andrean Ensemble were some of the most enjoyable times of both my high school and musical careers.

Trick or Treat in my city started about 40 minutes ago and i've had no trick or treaters.... I'm really bummed because this is the first halloween in my house and i bought a ton of candy!
I probably had 60-70, but that was way less than I usually get. Good thing I saved my favorite candy til the end. Now we have lots of yummy candy left over.
We had about two dozen. We also had one adult woman who walked up with her dog in costume and asked for candy. I gave it to her only because I was so friggin' confused.
We can hear the middle school from our front yard and there was a lot of noise coming from there. My friend (who has lived in our neighborhood for about two years; we just moved in) said more and more places are doing "safe Halloween" parties and events. She said every year the trick-or-treat crowd gets smaller and smaller.

Corporate Name Badges
Hands up if every time you say your name you have to stop and sensor yourself, for fear that someone will run off and do a quick google search or use an old phone book to hunt you down like a dog and harass you at your home over a balmy weekend, maybe catch you out wearing mismatched socks and grubby track pants and no bra. Maybe they will make fun of your shit weekend hair or steal your junk mail. Oh really I have no fucking clue what they might do, cos I just cannot walk a mile in the shoes of some crazy who would bother with this sort of nutty carry on and so No I have never worried about telling people my name.
I am not a fan of those coffee places where they yell out your name for the whole of the shopping centre to hear when your skinny cap double shot is ready. But that is a preference thing not a paranoid, 'Bugger me, someone might hear my name and call me up and try to sell me aluminium siding.' thing.
As a kid, pay phones were the way of the future, push button A push, button B and all that shit, I admit that I was occasionally guilty of making silly calls to no one at all in particular. I am sure you know the ones.
Is Mr Wall there?
Is Mrs Wall there?
Are there any Walls there?
Well what's holding up the roof??
Oh yeh very funny!
All very silly and only if any of us goof balls had a 5 cent piece or was it 10 cents? A rumour went round that if you dialled and spoke loudly into the other end of the handset that you could make a call with no money, of course that was bollocks too, but there'd be 10 kids in a phone box all yelling and laughing and generally having a silly time - all this in good fun in between running amuck on the streets, barefoot, on a variety of bikes and scooters.
I never thought to call up a teacher. I never thought to even look one up in the phone book. In 30 years of teaching I did not once get a call at home from an angry kid or parent. They all knew my name and if not my actual home address they knew roughly the suburb where I lived and so it would have taken very little trouble to be nuisance.
I didn't get any shit letters and was never aware at least of kids or parents stalking around my house, or throwing rotten eggs or doing other mean things.
I imagine that's cos I did a pretty good job and I like to think that when issues arose and of course they did we all came together and dealt with 'em and then moved on. I don't reckon I left too much stewing and certainly not enough to encourage someone to want to do harm to me or Bell or my house or even be a pest.
So how does it come about that Lester, an Animal Control Officer at GCCC can't give me his boss's name, 'In case you look it up in the white pages and make a nuisance of yourself on the weekend.'
How does one even begin to make an argument against this?
I have to believe that the psychology behind name badges which show ONLY first names is not to ensure that the workers are saved harassment at home on the weekends if they do a shit job. Surely it is to promote a friendly collegiate environment where people will smile and treat everyone kindly.
First names only at GCCC is a pathetic defence measure. Or maybe it is not a commonly held policy. Maybe Lester of the, 'I am not obliged to tell you that.' is using this as a way of keeping me at arms length.
I am off to find Lester's boss, no not at his/her house, just at the office.

Leyden's new Incubator course is designed to prepare students to become successful entrepreneurs.
Business teachers at both Leyden campuses are seeking local entrepreneurs and business experts to serve as student coaches and mentors for the second semester course that will begin in January.
This college prep course is designed to prepare students to become successful entrepreneurs. They have the opportunity to create and fully develop their own product or service. Local coaches and mentors guide student teams through the process of ideation, market research, and business plan development using the business model canvas approach.
At mid-year, students will gain in-market experience with "minimum viable product" research and presentations made possible by small grants to student teams. Over the course of the year, student teams will learn about marketing, accounting, human resources, as well as the legal aspects of running a business to prepare for an investor panel presentation. This presentation helps to drive the entrepreneurial spirit by having student teams in front of real investors to pitch their innovative idea and possibly win funding to turn their business plans into reality.
If you are interested in participating as a coach and mentor, please contact Tony Pecucci, business education department chairperson, at 847-451-3632 and tpecucci@le

Taking it back to 2005, Trey Songz first came onto the scene with his debut smash album Gotta Make It and then wowing the scene again in 2007 with the record Trey Day with both these albums producing Top 10 Singles. Which established Songz as one of the most notable R&B singers in the world. Swiftly after this success he release two more albums, but it wasn't until 2012 that an album CHAPTER V went Gold! In 2014 Songz joined forces with Nicki Minaj on single Touchin' Love. Throughout his career Trey Songz has earned himself three GRAMMY awards nominations, as well as back to back debuts on the Billboard Top 200.

Export date: Sat Dec 14 23:19:15 2019 / +0000 GMT
Written By JAKE COURTEPATTE
It's an exit she won't soon forget.
Caledon's Erin Routliffe fell out of the prestigious Wimbledon Championship in London on Thursday in devastating fashion, in a doubles match that had victory within her grasp four times.
Teaming up with America's Madison Brengle, the combo fell in three sets by scores of 4-6, 7-5, and 6-1 to Georgia's Oksana Kalashnikova and China's Xinyun Han.
Yet it was in the second set, were the Routliffe's game went wrong, failing to convert on four straight serves with the match point in hand.
"I think I let the moment get the better of me," said and emotional Routliffe in a press conference following the match. "Obviously I was happy to be in the draw, because I didn't think I was going to be, but then you start thinking during the matches.
"I just let it get to me a bit and then they started hitting a lot more of their shots and taking more control and we were on the back foot from 5-5 in the second."
Routliffe picked up just under $12,000 for her efforts.
"It is tough, but this is tennis, it's what you have to deal with every day," she said. "So you try not to think about it and we weren't thinking about it too much.
"They outplayed us in the third set, it was just the momentum. They got a swing of momentum and started feeling a lot more confident, whereas in the first set and 90 per cent of the second, they weren't really sure what to do."
Switching allegiances to the New Zealand national team last season, her debut in the Fed Cup in February helped her rocket more than two hundred places in the world rankings since the start of the year.
The New Zealand-born Routliffe, born on an around-the-world sailing adventure to her parents Robert and Catherine, joined the Caledon Tennis Club at the age of six, falling in love with the sport after trying her hand as a multi-sport athlete.
It's the second first round exit for Routliffe, who first made her appearance at the prestigious tournament last July, where she and Englishwoman Freya Christie fell in the opening round to the eventual champion Czechs Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova.
She earned multiple All-American and All-SEC honours during her time with the Alabama Crimson Tide, where Routliffe earned her degree in public relations.
One of the most successful doubles players in Alabama history, Routliffe won back-to-back NCAA Doubles Championships in 2014 and 2015, and finished as the runner-up in last year's doubles championship match.
She was also a part of the Crimson Tides' first SEC Championship squad in 2014.
Her sister, Tess Routliffe, is an accomplished Paralympic swimmer current training for the 2020 Games in Tokyo.

text: FiendishDevil 97 Posted November 30, 2009 Roxas said: FFG lacks the ability to actually sustain a card game let alone create a new set. I disagree with the statement. FFG sustains and has created new stuff. Just look at the LCG genre and UFS. The reason why KH gets no love is because it is not getting popular appeal. I think the issue with FFG not creating new content is simply because I don't think they have the creative license to do so, only the license to reprint what has already been made. BTW. How is this card game compared to other card games? I was going to purchase some booster boxes from the holiday sale...but I doubt I'd have anyone to play.

What a pleasure working Rat Pack was for our technical team here at Spotlight, Hoddesdon. The company are lovely and we look forward to working with you all again soon. ...
We have just come back from a week cruise on the Ventura and saw both performances. I've got to say you were all fantastic! Really enjoyed singing along to the old songs....
HI Mark – just wanted to drop you a line to again say a HUGE thanks to you, Tim and Darren for putting on such an excellent show for all our Warner Team, everyone enjoyed and has really helped set the mood for a fun, festive time ahead. Also helped to set the scene and assist the Team in understanding the calibre of entertainment that our guests can expect to receive on all the 2016 Viva Las Vegas breaks and of course, our regular weekends which include Rat Pack Swingin' At The Sands...
The Rat Pack performed at our Regional Leadership Convention party in Liverpool. Not only was their performance fun, exciting and relevant to our party theme but they were a joy and easy to work with. The feedback we had from our party guests was that they particularly enjoyed the undertone of humour within the performance. We will be sure to consider The Rat Pack for future events!...

If you've seen the memorable '80s-esque short film "Heavy Metal Parking Lot," you likely not only remember particular moments but particular lines. (Oh, and a few particular cars, too; we think we fondly remember a Gremlin or two in the background.)
The not-long-but-oh-so-lively film captured a certain spirit of a rocking age, and that stripped-to-the-waist spirit clearly lives on. The Museum of Contemporary Art is presenting "Heavy Metal Parking Lot: The Musical," and if that isn't enough to stoke and pique and pluck at your leather-clad curiosities, how about this: It'll happen in a secret location.
That's a bit rock 'n roll, yes?
Date's Thursday, Dec. 2, but more important than that, perhaps, is the call to wear "practical footwear." Sound advice, with the secret location and all. Oh, the top of your bad self can be alllll party, from the ankles to your gelled hairstyle, but make sure your shoes are well-soled and can take you easily from place to place.
No teetering, in other words. Teetering is on occasion semi-rock 'n roll, but never safe nor advisable. Right? Rock on, heavy metalers. Wisely. With good posture. Rock on.

Schedule 1 of the 2012 Act outlines the 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), which replaced the former National Privacy Principles and the Information Privacy Principles, as from 12th March 2014. It is the policy of Workskills Inc. to collect, handle and store personal information in compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles. Workskills clients are notified, in writing, at their Initial appointment of this Privacy Policy and particular mention is also made of the fact that we are unable to give personal information to others without the written permission of the client. This, however, does not include client information that we are required by the Social Security Act and the Employment Services Deed to share with the Department of Employment and the Department of Human Services. Workskills has other policies and procedures that support the Privacy Policy. These include: Confidentiality Policy Records Management Policy Accessing Client Data Policy Fraud Control Policy Use of Social Media Policy Communication Policy Complaints Policy Providing Access to Records Procedures Employee Assistance Program Australian Privacy Principles The full text of the Australian Privacy Principles is available from us on request, or from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (see details at the end of this document). The Principles are summarised in the next section. Part 1— Consideration of personal information privacy APP 1— open and transparent management of personal information Workskills has policies (outlined above) on the management of personal information which covers the kinds of personal information that we collect, the purpose for which we collect information, how individuals may access personal information and how individuals may make complaints if they are not happy with how we deliver services.

However this does not apply in cases where it is not legally permissible or practical to do so. Part 2 — Collection of personal information APP 3 — collection of solicited personal information Workskills Inc. collects information from clients and stakeholders to carry out its functions. Where possible, information is collected directly from the individual. Where information is collected from a third party the individual is informed, or they may reasonably expect that we have been given this information in order to undertake the requirements of our contract with the Australian Government (for example, a client using our employment services will be told, or can be expected to know, that we have already received some information on them from the Department of Human Services). APP 4 — dealing with unsolicited personal information If Workskills receives unsolicited personal information from or about clients, we must determine whether this information could have been collected under Principle 3. If not, we must, if it is lawful and reasonable to do so, destroy the information as soon as practicable. APP 5 — notification of the collection of personal information Workskills must contact clients if personal information is collected from someone other than the client or if the client is not aware that we have collected this personal information.

Information provided for employment purposes could be disclosed to employers, to the Department of Employment and to the Department of Human Services for monitoring and evaluation purposes.

Therefore Workskills ensures client data is sent to government agencies under secure conditions. No data is sent overseas. APP 9 — adoption, use or disclosure of government related identifiers Organisations must not adopt a government related identifier of an individual as its own identifier unless legally authorised to do so. In dealing with government agencies, Workskills is often obliged to collect and use identifying numbers issued by those agencies. However, this is done according to law or regulation as required by each agency. Part 4 — Integrity of personal information APP 10 — quality of personal information Workskills must ensure that personal information we collect is accurate, up to date and complete. If we are disclosing personal information we must ensure that it is also relevant. APP 11 — security of personal information All personal information is held under secure conditions with access restricted to those individuals who need it to carry out their work under Workskills' programs. Workskills has a Records Management policy which outlines security requirements of data storage and time frames for destruction of personal information, based on guidelines published by the Department of Employment. Part 5 — Access to, and correction of, personal information APP 12 — access to personal information It is Workskills' policy to give individuals access to their data on request. However, the full text of this APP lists exceptions to this right, mainly where access to the information may impact adversely on the individual or others. We have documented 'Providing Access to Records Procedures' that staff need to follow when requests are made to access personal information. If access is refused or restricted, Workskills will give an explanation for this decision.

I want some more guacamole.....PEAS!
It is a recipe I KNOW they will like, if and when they give it a chance.
So what is it?
It's Guacamole
! Guacamole? that's no big deal, but this is different, its guacamole without the avocados I KNOW!
Travesty, right? Kristy said (and I quote) "you cannot make peas taste like avocados just because they are green" She's right, for once -- but in guacamole, the avocado flavor is so blended with all the mexican spices - the cumin and tomatoes and cilantro. Peas work. It's a delicious lowfat lifesaver!
2 lbs frozen green peas, thawed [and cooked]
1 teasp crushed garlic,
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 teasp ground cumin
1 tomato, chopped
4 green onions chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/8 tsp hot pepper sauce
salt to taste.
Blend peas, garlic, lime juice & cumin in a food processor, transfer to a bowl, stir in tomato, green onions, cilantro, hot sauce & salt to taste. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
I do recommend using the "rest" time to allow the flavors to blend. Sometimes I must admit, I add a little avocado (like a 1/2 of one) to get the texture a little creamier, like how I'm used to.
But you'll have a LOT of guacamole, with just 1/2 of an avocado! And food cost wise, its pretty inexpensive....frozen peas are always in my fridge.
Here's one last pic of the guac on my chicken sandwich wrap last night. It was delicious!
3 comments:
I have to try it for 2 reasons: One, it LOOKS like guac and two, it's low fat. Wait, I need more reasons: Three, It's green and healthy looking. Four, I get to add 1/2 of an avocado. Five: IT'S CHEAP! Eating healthy is ridiculously expensive....and SIX: I'll whack-a-mole your guac-a-mole publicly on my blog if I ever get it up and running. Oh god, did I spell that right? public then ly. I want to make sure it doesn't say pubic because that would be bad. Peas excuse me.ReplyDelete
YUM to the Yumville... I will be making this Saturday for a party. Thanks. Also I am curious of the spelt crackers. did they really turn out with a crack? i am a cracker snob and they must snap, and crack.ReplyDelete
Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division........ReplyDelete
ok,not really, but now that I have your attention. I made this recipe adapting it to my taste. We didn't have an avocado on hand so I added a bit of fat free sour cream=good call. I added extra to the above based on my taste as well. Also blend the peas until they are blended. I think I stopped to early as they still had texture. We like things abit spicy hot so I also added a fresh jalapeno from the garden. Delish.... on top of the hominy/black bean tacos! (yes, i said hominy) Thanks Sharon for a great substition to the $$$ fat ridden guac we are all use to.

Chioma shades Davido and his Atlanta-Based baby mama, Amanda, following photos that surfaced on the net revealing Davido and Amanda showing affection. At first, there were cute photos of both parents together sharing happy times; thereafter, there were photos of them both dancing.
This caused a lot of comments from followers and fans, who said that it's only Chioma who deserves that sort of affection. However, days after, Chioma uploads a meme on her Insta story which is a convincing shade on Davido and his baby mama, Amanda. This shade is pretty obvious, as everyone recognizes it.

Geneva Supply, Inc. is excited to announce the opening of a new 60,000 square foot facility located in Charleston, South Carolina.
With the Charleston Harbor currently in construction to be dredged to 52 feet deep, it will become the deepest harbor on the US coast. With the project set to be completed within the next two years, the Charleston port will be the largest on the East Coast. As Geneva Supply continues to expand the third party logistics part of the business, this facility allows for improved turnaround times from the port to warehouse and also East Coast fulfillment.
In addition to the warehouse and logistics capabilities, the new location will be home to BizHub.
BizHub is a coworking space, built with the concept that small to medium-sized companies do not have their own warehouse. With long leases and the expenses of hiring warehouse employees and equipment, it is feasible for many companies to make the investment. The shared office space will help those companies that want to be close to their product, have meeting spaces, and also a fun atmosphere. Because it is tied to Geneva Supply and Geneva Services if they need help them with the process, being there when they have question or challenges with their online or brick and mortar strategy.

PlayStation 3, XBox 360 and the digital home
The arrival Friday of the long-awaited PlayStation 3 is expected to provide a badly needed boost to consumer-electronics giant Sony, which has been off its game since the end of the 20th century. Based on surveys conducted in June, Interpret, a media research firm, estimated that nearly 9 million people in the U.S. would buy a Blu-ray equipped PS3 at full price, with total sales of 36 million. Rival consoles from Microsoft and Nintendo are each projected to sell around 20 million.
Interpret presented its survey findings Wednesday morning at an invitation-only briefing and panel discussion inside the LA Times' mothership in downtown Los Angeles. More interesting than the sales projections, at least to me, were the observations about gamers' behavior. Although game consoles are found only in about a third of U.S. homes, more than half of U.S. consumers between the ages of 13 and 54 play video games in some fashion, whether it be on a console, a PC or a portable or a cellphone. These gamers -- and particularly XBox gamers -- are early adopters and heavy consumers of media, according to Interpret. And these two qualities are likely to put gamers in the forefront of the shift to the much-hyped but little-realized "digital home," that is, a place where media loses its traditional associations with specific devices and distribution methods. (Movies and TV shows flow over the Internet and home networks to all manner of devices, photos and MP3s beam from PCs to TVs -- you know the drill.) Both the PlayStation 3 and the XBox 360 are designed to become hubs of this digital home, conveying movies, TV shows, music and photos from the Net or a home PC to the TV.
Interpret urged the entertainment industry to view its findings optimistically. Making titles available in new formats and through new media will add to existing sales, not cannibalize them, said Jason Kramer, Interpret's chief strategy officer. He pointed to one response in particular by the 54% of those surveyed who said they played videogames. About 30% of them, representing about 27.5 million Americans, strongly agreed with the statement that "the more options there are for watching a TV show or movie, the more likely I am to actually see it." Only about 11% strongly disagreed. That's not so surprising, really. These folks are such active consumers, they're more likely to tune in when they can control the schedule. The new generation of consoles will give consumers more power to control when and where they are entertained; companies that do not accommodate them risk being swept aside by those that do.

Q: I am looking to borrow money to buy a new home and I have been doing my research on a number of online comparison sites. There seems to be a lot of variables rather than just interest rate, so it's hard to know what the best product for me is. How reliable are these sites?
A: These sites are reliable are far as the information they contain, but they do claim to make finding the best loan for your circumstances simple and easy by comparing interest rates. We all know that home loans aren't that simple and these sites really don't take many other factors into consideration, such as your personal circumstances or property ownership goals.
Consider how comparison sites make their money
A key thing to keep in mind is that comparison websites are a business and they need to make money, which is fair enough, but how are they making money?
Advertising is one way they make money as well as commission from the lenders they offer, which is normal. Just be wary that some may also charge lenders to feature on their panel, which means the lenders may not be there based on merit alone, so just make sure you consider which lenders are, or more importantly aren't, being compared and why that might be the case.
ASIC, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, regulates online comparison sites and says it's concerned that they:
· only compare a limited number of brands/products from a limited number of providers, which may not be clearly disclosed, creating the impression that the extent of comparison is much broader than it actually is
· use 'ratings' and 'rankings' for products without a clear explanation of the basis for those ratings and rankings
· refer to 'special offers' and 'featured products' without properly explaining the basis of selection of certain products.
(for more info relating to the above please click here)
Consider the comparison rate
ASIC also says that these sites have to show a loans comparison rate – which is essentially the true cost of a loan including most fees and charges. Comparison rates are shown as a percentage and should be considered in combination with the interest rate and a loans features and flexibility, like offset or redraw accounts, ability to make additional repayments, or online banking, etc.
Use more than one source of information
Also, while this may seem obvious, make sure you aren't basing your borrowing decision off these sites alone. Just because the repayment figure looks like an amount you can afford each fortnight or month, there are other factors to consider when working out your true borrowing power, not to mention what a lender will actually approve for you.
Online comparison sites can be a good place to start your research and should contain accurate information, but it's important to do some additional research to make sure you're not just being given information that a company has paid for you to receive.
Once you're serious about securing a home loan it's best to speak to an expert. Mortgage brokers can compare different lenders and loans just like an online comparison site, but they can go a couple of steps further and explain some differences between lenders and loans, as well as help you secure pre-approval so you're one step ahead when you find that property you're searching for.

Theology to get started
Credits: 15
Diploma : Theology to get started

Length of Studies: Students have 24 months from the date of enrolment in which to validate the diploma.
Validation: Each of the five courses is assessed by a 5 page written assignment. The diploma is worth 15 ECTS.
Diploma in Theology : Theology to get started
Are you ready to engage in this journey across the different disciplines in Theology – from the theoretical to the highly personnel and the point where theory can be applied to the human search for Truth?
This diploma is composed of carefully chosen modules enabling students to engage in a coherent succession of theology studies. It first introduces the concept of theology and looks at the progression from natural theology to sacred theology.
The central theme of the Trinity is explored with the Christology of Urs von Balthzar. Theology is then approached through the theological study of the Church across the centuries. A highlight of the diploma is the course entitled, "Theology of Grace". Grace is God's life in us, the authentic life of our human spirit, what our life is truly called to be.
Finally, with the theoretical foundations firmly in place you will be well prepared to be guided through a course further exploring the human search for truth, friendship and happiness.
Theology to get started
- A First Introduction to Theology
- Trinitarian Christology of Urs von Baltazar
- Ecclesiology
- Theology of Grace
- Aquinas' notion of friendship
List of Courses
A first Introduction to Theology
The Trinitarian Christology of Hans Urs von Balthasar
According to Balthasar, in God, there is a triple k enotic intra-trinitarian relationship. The first kenosis consists in the Father dispossessing himself of his divinity and giving it to the Son. This divine act brings about the procession of the Son as the second possibility of being in one divine nature. The second kenosis comes about from the fact that the Son can be consubstantial with the Father only in his own self-emptying. The response of the Son to this substantial possession of the divinity is an eternal eucharistia which is as disinterested as the original gift of the Father. Proceeding from the two as their sub sistent 'We' is the Spirit who can be God only in his sealing as 'Person' this identical self -emptying in the Father and the Son since he is the proclamation and effusion of the love of the Fa ther and the Son. This makes the third kenosis. In sum, the Father's kenosis to the Son, a nd the kenosis of the Father and the Son to the Holy Spirit correspond to the very essence of G od which can only be love.
Theology of Grace : God's Life in us - The Authentic Life of our Human Spirit
Aquinas'notion of friendship
Aquinas'notion of friendship and its relevance to eternal happiness. What is happiness? What is its nature and character both here and in the hereafter? Is it attainable? What is the nature and character of friendship? Is it possible? Why is it so integral to happiness, the goal of man, in such a way as to say no one can be called happy who is without friends?
This course explores the mystery of the Church as seen in the light of Vatican II. The basic document is Lumen Gentium. The aim is to examine questions regarding origin, nature, structure, and mission of the Church. At the end of the course, the students will have a better understanding of the the nature, the structure, the work of the Church, and a better understanding of the ecclesiological teaching of the Second Vatican Council.

Printmaking Today: An Introduction to the Graphic Arts
Printmaking Today: An Introduction to the Graphic Arts
A sensitive, intelligent art educator preparing for an informal talk on "Printmaking Today" closets himself in his study, picks up his favorite art journal, and settles down to read the lead article, Renaissance in the Fine Print. After skimming the third paragraph, lips pursed, head nodding almost imperceptibly in a sort of syncopated gait, he seems to swallow with difficulty, clutches the journal in his tensed fists, and stares fixedly at words like "nervously worked lucite surface," "cellocut," and "plaster print." Tossing the periodical across the room, he moves to his desk and writes a letter to a printmaker friend for clarification . . .
Brooks Arnauld, internationally respected print collector, slowly paces the current exhibition of prints in the gallery, searching new talent. The well-groomed, stocky figure pauses before new works of artists already in his possession, analyzing, evaluating, judging their qualities in relation to those in THE COLLECTION. From time to time he writes codelike references on the crisp catalog of the exhibition with a small gold pencil. Suddenly, he stops transfixed before a large print on the wall. Neither his great knowledge of technique nor the handsome catalog aid him in understanding how this work was accomplished. That queasy feeling in the pit of his stomach comes again and again as he finds other prints employing still more unusual techniques. Hurriedly, he leaves the gallery and repairs to his sanctum sanctorum to write a letter to a printmaker friend for clarification . . .
With humility, I submit this book about fine prints. I hope it proves useful to art students, professional artists, print collectors, and laymen . . .
