Step 1HD Cream Liner (sun kissed) is applied over the eye up to the brow. Satin Powder (SP 428) is then blended on top. From the Eye Shadow Mirror Palette 15 Colors (Smokey Rose), three colors, Oak, 767 and Maroon are layered from lightest to darkest, creating a graduated blend from the center of the eye out to the socket line. HD Cream Liner (ebony) is used to mark out the cut crease.
Step 2HD Cream Liner (ebony) is blended into the socket line, Eye Shadow Matt (congo), Eye Shadow Matt (sudan) and Eye Shadow Matt (102), are worked in to deepen the corner of the eye creating an ombré effect. Eye Shadow Matt (deep black) is blended into the socket line. HD Cream Liner (ebony) is applied along both lash lines to create a feline winged liner. Glamour Glow (moon dust) and Glamour Glow (sun kissed) are used to highlight the inner corners of the eye.
Step 3A blend of Polyester Glimmer Fine in Polyester Glimmer fine (pastel yellow) and Polyester Glimmer fine (pearl white) are mixed with Polyester Glimmer medium (copper) and Polyester Glimmer medium (bright red). Hydro Spirit Gum 12 ml is pressed into place on the eyelids avoiding the highlighted inner corners and the darkened socket line. Once the Spirit Gum has become tacky to touch, the blend of Polyester Glimmers is carefully applied. Proliner (black) is then used to sharpen the winged feline eyeliner.
Step 4The skin is primed with Perfect Matt and then perfected using TV Paint Stick. TV Paint Sticks are also selected for highlight and contour respectively and blended into the foundation. The foundation is set with complementing tones from the Dual Finish Palette 6 Colors (Warm Complexion). From the Professional Blusher Set 15 Colors (Contexture) Shading Brown and SM are buffed in to create a beautiful rouge. Glamour Glow (natural tan) highlights the cheekbones.
Step 5Viva Brilliant Color (wild cherry) is blended around the edges of the eye make-up. Eyelashes TV 5 are adhered with Lash Adhesive Pro 4 g (black). Eyebrow Powder (medium) and Eyebrow Powder (dark) are applied with an angled brush to define the brows. Faceliner (31) sharpens the lip line while Dermacolor Light Lipstick (DL 8) and Dermacolor Light Lipstick (DL 9) generously form the color. Finally, Body Jewels (red) are adhered with Lash Adhesive Pro 4 g (neutral).

text: Festivals ADD TO TRIP PLANNER REMOVE FROM TRIP PLANNER Malaysia's multicultural community lends colour to the calendar, with bright festivals peppering the year for both locals and visitors to observe and enjoy. Hari Raya, or Eid-Ul-Fitr, is celebrated by Malaysian Muslims every year. Hari Raya marks the end of a month of sunrise-to-sunset fasting during the holy month of Ramadhan. The first day of Hari Raya starts early at the mosque with prayers, followed by visits to the graves of loved ones. Many Muslim families open up their homes to celebrate the occasion, with a bounty of good food. The Chinese usher in the Lunar New Year with bright red colours and fireworks. The loud sounds are meant to ward off bad luck for the rest of the year. Lion dances and occasionally dragon dances are performed during this period, so do enquire about these if you plan to visit during this time. The brightness does not fade through the year, as Malaysian Hindus celebrate the Festival of Lights, Deepavali. The occasion celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. Clay lamps are kept lit at homes of Hindus throughout the festival. The lamps are said to help the goddess Lakshmi find her way into celebrants' homes. A much-photographed event is Thaipusam. On this day, Tamil Hindus head to the closest Murugan temple, the most popular being Batu Caves Temple in Selangor. The sight of devotees carrying 'kavadis' as a form of penance, falling into trances, piercing themselves or walking on hot coals without hurting from it, is definitely an experience not for the faint-hearted. Other festivals celebrated in Malaysia are Wesak Day by the Buddhists, the Hungry Ghost Festival by the Chinese and Christmas Day by Christians. In East Malaysia, the Harvest Festival, also known as Kaamatan, is widely observed especially in Sabah, while 'Hari Gawai' is celebrated by the Dayaks or Ibans of Sarawak. Not a religious festival, but a major tourist attraction on its own, is the annual Rainforest World Music Festival held in Kuching, Sarawak. Surrounded by lush rainforest and the sounds of nature, music revellers come together to rock out to the rhythm from the world's different regions. Key Tips Check out the Calendar of Events to see what festivals and celebrations will be on during your visit. Do take note that some tourist attractions may be closed during major public holidays. Make your hotel and travel bookings well in advance for popular destinations for certain festivals, e.g. Penang during Chinese New Year or Kuching for the Rainforest World Music Festival.

My journey to discover my ancestors and those of my husband began in 1994, and is a continuing project. This genealogy covers branches of Bell, Brown, Burkey, Cox, Ess, Freeman, Junkin, Mobley, Pollard, Shields, Smith, Turner, Vaughn, Young and allied families. My research focuses primarily on Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
The information on these pages is in a narrative format. I have included census information as it was recorded, because of the fascinating glimpse into the families that it provides. The census was not always accurate. A child, a family member not fluent in English, or even a neighbor may have given incorrect information about some members of a household. Because of this, you may see discrepancies between information contained in the census paragraphs and the primary events on these pages.
Although great care has been taken, I cannot not guarantee the accuracy of all information on these pages. I have included both primary and secondary sources so that you may evaluate them.
These pages are a work in progress which I update frequently, so please do visit again. If you would like to comment, share new information, or let me know of a needed correction, please click on my name below.

There are many ways to define yourself. You could do it by the decade into which you were born. Or which party you usually vote for. Or whether you prefer Coke or Pepsi. Or, as this past election proved, how you feel about abortion or women in general.
Before 1973, you might have been anti- or pro-abortion or, conversely, anti- or pro-forcing all pregnant women to deliver to term. Since Roe v. Wade, however, you're generally either pro-life or pro-choice.
But, now that Planned Parenthood has experienced some of their toughest years for defending their funding, they're getting rid of the pro-choice label to fight for … well, abortion … but, well, sometimes … Oh, hell. Let them just explain it with their video like we're in health class all over again: Continue reading Take it from Snee: Pro- … nothing?

Say this for Dish Network: It isn't afraid of a fight.
If you're like most TV viewers, you don't think much about the constant, mundane negotiations that bring your favorite shows to the screen. But then those talks break down, a contract expires at midnight, and the network you most watch goes suddenly dark.
It happened last month to customers of DirecTV, the largest satellite provider, when for nine days they lost their MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and other Viacom networks.
But if blackouts mark the height of hostilities in network and carrier negotiations, then Dish, the second-largest satellite provider, has proven itself the carrier most willing to go to the mattresses. It has been involved in 22 of the 42 blackouts tracked since March 2010 by the American Television Alliance, a coalition of consumer groups, cable companies and satellite providers — including Dish.
No other carrier is nearly so blackout-prone. DirecTV, which has 19.9 million customers to Dish's 14.06 million, has had only six blackouts in the time frame monitored by the ATA. Time Warner Cable, which has about a million more customers than Dish, has been involved in just five blackouts, according to the group.
Also read: Viacom, DirecTV Can't Agree on How Much They Disagree
But the blackouts aren't the only reason Dish has a reputation for fighting. In June, it dropped AMC Networks in a feud so intense that Dish and AMC can't even agree on why they broke up. The federal government, meanwhile, is suing Dish in two different lawsuits, accusing it of illegally aggressive telemarketing. (Dish denies the claims.)
In potentially the biggest dispute of all, Dish is locked in litigation with ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC over its Auto Hop feature, which allows customers to skip the ads in previously-aired primetime network shows. Networks say it poses a threat to traditional, ad-supported television, and have asked a judge to order Dish to stop offering Auto Hop.

Dish President Charlie Ergen was a professional card player before he became a satellite TV mogul. One person who has faced off with Dish says Ergen approaches both jobs the same way.
"He conducts himself the way a professional poker player tries to bully people at the table," the person, speaking on condition of anonymity, told TheWrap. "They try to push around the weaker players and bluff big. It's a funny way to treat people who are ultimately your business partners."
Dish says it only fights when it needs to, noting that only a small percentage of its hundreds of contract negotiations lead to blackouts. The company digs in, said Dish Senior Vice President of Programming Dave Shull, to prevent rate increases that would be passed on to its customers.
"We do dozens of deals every single year and we have a very good sense of what the market pricing is for these deals," Shull said. "When someone comes to us and has what we would call a skewed view of market pricing, we feel it's our responsibility to take a pretty strong stand."
Also read: Dish Makes Deal to Restore Customers' Access to 14 Channels
Dish is taking that stand as retransmission fees are soaring – and carriers are struggling to slow them down. SNL Kagan reports that the fees went from $313.5 million in 2007 to roughly $1.5 billion last year, and are projected to hit $4.9 billion by 2017 — with consumers absorbing much of the cost.
The hikes come as networks demand more money from cable and satellite providers. Those involved point to everything from more expensive sports deals to salary increases for the cast of "Modern Family" to explain the rise.
DirecTV says its rival is right that fees are going up too fast.
"I think the real story is not how many disputes we get into or Dish gets into," Derek Chang, DirecTV's executive vice president of content strategy and development, told TheWrap. "I think the real story is the economic demands that programmers are looking for are just outrageous. We all have businesses to run, and we're all trying to stay disciplined in an environment where the business is barely growing."
Dish, based in Englewood, Colo., said in a regulatory filing in July that it lost 10,000 net subscribers in the three months that ended June 30, an improvement over the 135,000 subscribers it lost a year earlier.
DirecTV, meanwhile, lost 52,000 subscribers in the second quarter, the first quarter in which it posted a net loss in subscribers since it debuted its satellite service in 1994.
Dish may say it is trying to keep customers' costs down, but customers don't always see it that way. A quick glance at the company's Facebook page finds a daily barrage of complaints from "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad" and "Walking Dead" fans demanding the return of AMC Networks.
But Dish says those AMC shows are the only ones on AMC Networks that its customers tend to watch, and that on an hour-by-hour basis it isn't worth it to pay for not only AMC but AMC Networks' IFC, IFC Films, Sundance and WeTV.
AMC, however, says the dispute isn't really about fees. It notes that Dish dropped its networks only after it won a favorable ruling in a lawsuit in which it is seeking $2.5 billion from Dish over what it says is a broken promise to carry its Voom HD suite of channels.
"It is not about rate," AMC Networks CEO Josh Sapan said in an earnings call earlier this month. "In fact, Dish has not discussed rates with us at all."
Dish's Shull, however, says viewers shouldn't expect a return of the AMC Networks until AMC agrees to drastically reduce its demands. In the meantime, he says, the shows are available on iTunes and Amazon.
The disputes with networks and the federal government aren't even Dish's biggest focus: It is also trying to launch a standalone wireless business in order to become, in the next decade, a single resource for Internet, video and telephone service. It bought Blockbuster last year for $228 million in cash to compete with Netflix.
Ergen (left) started the company three decades ago and stepped down as CEO last year to focus on long-term strategy. Though known for keeping a low public profile, he has recently been more open, even sitting down for pancakes with The Wall Street Journal.
At a recent event in Boulder, he explained the difference between blackjack, poker and backgammon. He said the game gave him a good foundation for going into business.
Blackjack, he said, "is very scientific … There's always a right answer and a wrong answer. Do you take a card, increase your bet, bet big or bet small?"
You shouldn't tip the dealer, he said, "because it's your money you're wasting when you do that."
"Poker, on the other hand, is a game where you don't have to have the best hand to win," he said. "Poker is really reading other people and reading human emotion, which certainly comes into play in business."
He added that while "luck is big part of backgammon, over a period of time, the real key to backgammon is being able to think many, many moves ahead."
Which game did he play best?
"I really wasn't very good at any of them," he said. "But I was probably better at blackjack."

There are many opportunities to make your home more sustainable when replacing your roof. Whether it's choosing energy efficient or sustainable materials, including more insulation, or adding solar power, or Under Armour Blue And Gold Shoes
just making sure that everything is installed properly to keep the house dry, there is something at every price level to consider.
If, like most people, you have a vented attic, make sure you have enough ventilation at the eaves as well as at the ridge or gable ends. If you don't have good eaves baffles to keep air from blowing through the attic insulation, have them installed, along with air sealing at the ceiling and adding loose fill fiberglass or cellulose on top of what is there. If you're really ambitious, you could have a roofing contractor spray foam insulation on the roofline and close up all the vents, making your attic a semi conditioned space.
Time to replace your roof? Think about making decisions that will help out with energy, last longer, and be lighter on the planet. First and foremost, your roof has to keep the water out of your house. When you're reroofing, it's a good time to add some extra insulation in your attic. If you're installing roofing in Orlando or in another hot climate, you might consider a light color roof. Consider installing a more sustainable material than regular old fiberglass shingles, and take a look at solar panels, either integrated with the shingles or installed separately to generate some power for your house.
and paving absorb heat during the middle of the day, then release it at the end of the day as it cools off. If everyone put on light color roofs, those hot summer nights might be a little cooler.
Light color roofing can help keep your attic cooler, but don't expect to see any big energy savings, they just aren't there, especially if you have a really good layer of insulation on the ceiling or you have insulated the roofline. Light roofs will help cut down on the urban heat island effect where dark roofs Under Armour Curry 2 High
Replace your roof with greener roof
roof, the climate, and thickness, fiberglass shingles last between 20 and 40 years (not too shabby) but if Under Armour Fat Tire Shoe you consider that a good home should last a hundred years or more, why not think about a roof that lasts as long as the house? I did a big renovation a while back on a 1918 house with an original clay tile roof. We took off all the tiles, stacked them up, and reinstalled them, along with additional tiles that were reclaimed from another building. Although it was an expensive roof to install, the tiles had already lasted over 90 years and will easily last another 100 or more, maybe never needing replacement. On top of their durability, they help to keep the house cool because there is an air space between the tiles and the roof, and the broken ones were ground up and used for gravel under the driveway, keeping lots of waste out of the landfill. Some other sustainable roof materials are slate, concrete tile, metal, and recycled rubber.
Finally, if you're considering installing solar panels, and you live in a place where there are good incentives, when you reroof is the time to do it. There are solar panels available that can be nailed into the roof right along with the shingles, like PowerHouse from Dow. If you are installing a metal roof, you can get solar panels integrated right into the roof sections. Or, you can go with the old standby, regular panels that are attached to a rack system on the roof.
In terms of staying dry, any quality roofing material will do the job as long as it is installed correctly, with all the right flashing and sealants. Don't rely on caulk to keep water out everything must be properly lapped over the layer below to stay dry. Sidewall flashing must go under the felt paper or house wrap, chimney flashing must be counter flashed into the masonry, and where roofs stop at side walls, install kick out flashing to keep everything dry.
In terms of sustainable roofing materials, there are a lot of choices, unfortunately, most of them are more expensive than regular old fiberglass shingles. Depending on the slope of the Under Armour Shoes Youth

Sava of Serbia
Saint Sava (1175 or 1176 - January 12 1235 or 1236), originally the prince Rastko Nemanjic (son of the Serbian ruler and founder of the Serbian medieval state Stefan Nemanja and brother of Stefan Prvovencani, first Serbian king), is the first Serb archbishop (1219-1233) and the most important saint in the Serbian Orthodox Church.
In his youth (around 1192) he escaped from home to join the orthodox monastic colony on Mount Athos (Holy Mountain on the Chalkidiki peninsula) and was given the name Sava. He first traveled to a Russian monastery and then moved to a Greek Monastery Vatoped. At the end of 1197 his father, king Stefan Nemanja joined him. In 1198 they together moved to and restored the abandoned monastery Hilandar, which was at that time the center of Serbian Christian monastic life.
St. Sava's father took the monastic vows under the name Simeon, and died in Hilandar on February 13 1200. He is also canonised, as Saint Simeon.
After his father's death, Sava retreated to an ascetic monastery in Kareya which he built himself in 1199. He also wrote the Kareya Typicon both for Hilandar and for the monastery of ascetism. The last typicon is inscribed into the marble board at the ascetic monastery, which today also exists in it. He stayed on Athos until the end of 1207.
St. Sava managed to persuade the patriarch of the Greek/Byzantine Orthodox Church to elevate St. Sava to the position of the first Serbian Archbishop, thereby establishing the Independence of Archbishopic of the Serbian Church in the year of 1219.
Saint Sava is celebrated as the founder of the independent Serbian Orthodox Church and as patron saint of education and medicine among Serbs. His day is observed on January 27th of the Gregorian calendar (January 14th of the Julian calendar still observed by the Serbian Church). Since the 1830's, Saint Sava has become the patron saint of Serb schools and schoolchildren. On his day, students partake in recitals in church.
After participating in a ceremony called Blessing of the Waters he developed a cough that progressed into pneumonia. He died from pneumonia in the evening between Saturday and Sunday, January 14, 1235.[1] He was buried at the Cathedral of the Holy Forty Martyrs in Trnovo. He remained in Trnovo until May 6, 1237 when his sacred bones were moved to the monastery Mileseva in southern Serbia. 360 years later the Ottoman Turks dug out his bones and burnt them on the main square in Belgrade.
The Temple of Saint Sava in Belgrade, whose construction was planned in 1939, begun in 1985 and awaits completion by 2004 is the largest active Orthodox temple in the world today. It was built on the place where the holy bones were burned.
At first we were confused. The East thought that we were West, while the West considered us to be East. Some of us misunderstood our place in the clash of currents, so they cried that we belong to neither side, and others that we belong exclusively to one side or the other. But I tell you, Ireneus, we are doomed by fate to be the East in the West and the West in the East, to acknowledge only heavenly Jerusalem beyond us, and here on earth--no one

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
In 1774 Washington was one of Virginia's representatives to the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia. The following year delegates to the Second Continental Congress chose him to lead the newly-created Continental Army. Twenty years had passed since he had commanded troops, but he was a man of upright character, favored moderate politics, and could be counted on to secure Virginia's support for a fight whose main advocates were concentrated in New England. Washington led this army to victory over the British, then retired to his plantation. He reentered public life in 1787, when he agreed to preside over the convention called to find solutions to the problems that existed under the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution that emerged from that summer in Philadelphia established the office of President, and Washington was the obvious choice to fill the position.

Seen and Heard
There seems to be an unshakable division of labor between two of our major senses. 'Sight and Sound' and 'Audio and Visual,' are often paired as binary opposites, understood both as semantically and biologically distinct yet totally interdependent. "See This Sound," an exhibition currently on view at the Lentos Museum in Linz, Austria, delves deeply into this co-dependent relationship. Far from another "art and music" show, the exhibition looks at numerous cultural, metaphysical, biological and neurological explorations of these senses - and how artists have mined them for decades. By highlighting their distinct and convergent streams of influence, "See This Sound" uses sight and sound as a metaphor for similar divisions and dependencies between "visual," "sound" and "media" art.
Curating Contemplation
The current exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, "The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860-1989" is in many ways a bold take on the "group show" genre. Not focused on a particular era, style or group of artists, Senior Curator for Asian Art Alexandra Munroe has instead created a sweeping show of over 110 artists around an idea as ethereal and subjective as cultural "contemplation." The show's thesis, that "vanguard artists consistently looked toward 'the East' to forge an independent artistic identity that would define the modern age -- and the modern mind -- through a new understanding of existence, nature, and consciousness" certainly seems timely in this era of rampant globalization, but it simultaneously opens the door to a host of debatable issues around cultural appropriation.
The broad scope and variety of art forms covered under this broad thematic umbrella, from paintings of James McNeill Whistler and Mary Cassatt through multimedia works of Tehching Hsieh and Laurie Anderson, creates a compelling alternate to the usually mono-cultural narrative of Art History. For those of us interested particularly in time-based media, it also provides a compelling context through which to view issues such as duration, notation, communication systems, and networking that are so prevalent in time-based forms.
Setting the Tome
In the early seventies Gerald O'Grady, a professor of English Literature at the State University of New York in Buffalo, was asked to become director of the euphemistically titled "Educational Communications Center." The division was to provide technical support for the entire campus. Sensing a thankless administrative appointment he agreed, but only if he could simultaneously create and direct a department dedicated to the study of emerging media, one that would provide artists and filmmakers access to these technologies and a theoretical basis from which to explore it fully. Thus, the Center for Media Studies (MediaStudy/Buffalo) was formed. Groundbreaking in its scope and focus, the faculty included filmmakers Hollis Frampton, Tony Conrad, Paul Sharits, and James Blue, video artists Steina and Woody Vasulka, and Peter Weibel. The book Buffalo Heads: Media Study, Media Practice, Media Pioneers, 1973-1990, edited by Woody Vasulka and Peter Weibel, thoroughly documents the people and activities that were a part of this highly influential center. Part exhibition catalog (a similarly titled exhibition "Mind Frames: Media Study at Buffalo 1973-1990" was mounted at ZKM in 2007), part catalog raisonné, and part coffee table book, and coming in at 837 pages and almost 10 lbs, it could be called the definitive text on this place and period.
Structure over Style
In recent years numerous exhibitions have been mounted on the subject of "art and music." The Chicago Museum of Art's 2007 show "Sympathy for the Devil: Art and Rock and Roll Since 1967" was an excellent example that explored the cultural and social crossovers between art and music and the stylistic effects they have had on each other. "Looking at Music," a current exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (curated by Associate Curator of Media Arts Barbara London), also looks at these cultural synergies but illuminates them further by focusing on the structural and theoretical connections between not only music and art, but also writing, filmmaking and performance. By starting in the early 1960s, the show focuses on a time when the very nature of art was in flux, new forms of writing were emerging, new technologies were pushing the boundaries of moving image and sound recordings, and social attitudes about self expression and gender were radically changing the cultural landscape.

I wholeheartedly agree that Ben made some excellent points (and it's nice to have the link to his notes—thanks for that). In particular:
"//It tried to reinvent the wheel because it lacked the tacit knowledge of previous generations who had shared similar concerns and worked through many of the pitfalls."
I feel this statement clearly encapsulates a problem with much of the recent discourse around the idea of post-internet. There's an assumption that a critical articulation of the relationship between online and physical objects is a new phenomenon. The materiality (or demateriality) was an ongoing concern from the outset of artists working on the Internet. So I'm disappointed when I hear Karen Archley cite a 2009 exhibition curated by AIDS-3D as the first instance of this kind of material engagement—if we are suggesting that this is what the term post-internet has come to represent.
Finger wagging over.

I'm just surprised to see Rhizome facilitating a discussion that suggests that artists and curators were not thinking about the relationships between online themes and aesthetics and offline presentation before 2008!
It doesn't seem like a provocation or exaggeration, it seems like a serious misrepresentation of the history.

The Western Front was founded in 1973 by a small group of interdisciplinary artists, and has developed into an exemplary multi-disciplinary environment for experimental art practice and research. With a staff of ten plus interns and volunteers, the Society collectively produces over fifty events a year.
The Exhibitions Program has a mandate to present contemporary visual art by local, national and international artists. Intentionally open, this mandate has historically focused on artwork that is conceptual, media-based or otherwise ephemeral in nature. Currently the program promotes experimentation with conceptual models and contexts for visual art that have allowed the program to expand beyond gallery exhibitions to include artist books and posters, cross-disciplinary works, site-specific and Internet projects, and commissions.
The Exhibitions Curator reports to the Executive Director, and is responsible for:
• Developing and communicating a dynamic vision for the Exhibitions Program
• Curating exhibitions and all associated programming
• Editing publications
• Writing grants and seeking opportunities for additional funding or support
• Supervising one part-time staff member, contract workers, as well as volunteers
• Exemplary knowledge and understanding of contemporary art practices
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Proven financial management experience
• Strong organizational skills
• Ability to provide direction and work with a diverse staff
• High capacity to meet deadlines and work under pressure
• Knowledge of a broad range of issues related to the arts
• A clear understanding of the philosophy and history of the Canadian artist-run centre movement
• Knowledge of the principle funding agencies and prior grant writing experience
• Knowledge of managing publications and print projects
• Experience installing a variety of art exhibitions
• Mac OS, Microsoft Office, electronic mail and Filemaker Pro, an asset
A competitive benefits package is available after the three months probation period is complete. After eight months of employment, four weeks paid vacation may be taken during the period when programs are recessed. An additional ten days paid holiday time may be taken during the December/January holiday period.
A part-time Exhibitions Assistant supports this position. Provisions are also made within the program budget for research-based travel.
The Western Front Society is committed to the principles of Employment Equity and encourages applications from Aboriginal persons, members of a visible minority group or persons with a disability.

"Oh," said the coach, "if you're introverted, I really can't help you. Next question?"
That coach must have believed one of the biggest myths about public speaking, that introverts aren't good at it and don't want to try.
After training thousands of people, many of them introverted, I'd answer that question a different way. Introverts can be great at public speaking, and they're not impossible to coach. But both the introvert and the coach need to approach speaker and presentation training differently, using introverts' special advantages well and avoiding the situations that work for extroverts but don't suit introverts. This session is specially designed so that you:
- Don't have to do all the talking, sharing and demonstrating--unless you want to;
- Do learn about the special advantages introverts have as speakers and presenters;
- Don't waste time learning tactics that only work for extroverts;
- Do learn how to prepare for your next speech or presentation, without over-preparing;
- Don't say yes to presentation logistics that work against you as an introvert; and
- Do hear the data, research findings and tactics that work best for introverts, from how to interrupt effectively to how to plan a presentation that won't sap your energy.
I'm really making an effort to create a workshop where introverts can feel comfortable, so that the setting is as productive for you as the content. For example, spaces are limited in this session, to keep it manageable for all of us--and so you can get a word in edgewise, if you want to do so. You'll get lunch, break refreshments and a follow-up email full of links, videos, books and resources that you can refer to again and again after the session, and a good network of fellow introverts seeking speaking and presenting skills.
This workshop will take place on Tuesday, November 27, in Washington, DC, from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. Our workshop location is at Metro Center, very close to public transportation (and for out-of-towners, it's a stop that is convenient even if you are coming to DC on a train or from the airport).
Early registration gets you a significant discount: Sign up by November 2 and pay just $300 for the day; after that, it's $350. All registration closes November 16 at midnight ET, or when all seats are filled. I hope you'll be able to join me for this new workshop--and that you'll share it with a few fellow introverts.

5 Proven Strategies for Promoting Your Ecommerce Site
If you want to make money online, setting up an Ecommerce store is the best way to do it. The design is easy to design, just need basic maintenance, and can generate some serious cash.
However, the last part is much easier said than done. Especially if you are not used to promoting your site.
If this is your first entry into the waters of E-commerce, you would want a bit of fanfare and publicity to get the news out. Here are 5 proven strategies to promote your site and get people to buy!
1. Post About This
One of the most effective ways to promote your website is to run a powerful SEO campaign. With proper keyword selection and a strong enough ranking, you can attract clients from all over the world.
But to have a powerful SEO campaign, you'll want to create great content.
After selecting your keywords, write a short post about opening your exciting new site. Let readers know what they can expect from your Ecommerce store with lots of photos and details.
Blog posts are a great way to build hype, and you'll reinforce your website ranking simultaneously!
2. Get Social
Nobody ignores how powerful social media tools are in today's world. With billions of users worldwide, social media can help you reach customers in newer and more modern ways.
At its best, you will be to where your audience is. No need to worry about bringing them to the content. After all, social media is more than 'like' and 'sharing'. This is a very simple way to generate multiple businesses for free.
Set up social media channels for the top 3: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and get posts. Make sure your page looks professional and reflects the value of your business.
3. Run an Ad
Of course, there is nothing wrong with more traditional advertising methods. After all, banner ads have become an internet staple for a good reason – they work.
And now, thanks to Facebook Ads, you can combine the power of social media with the accuracy of an ad.
It's relatively cheap and you can target customers directly through demographic options. Best of all, it really works and you can track your results with easy to understand ways.
4. Host a Giveaway
While the advertising mode comes and goes, one thing remains constant: people love free stuff. If you want to make some quick interest on your site, connect with some businesses to get rewards.
It does not even need to be your own product. You can choose to use ticketliquidator.com to give winners a lucky few nice seats to an event!
It's hard not to feel good about things that are free, so remember this easy psychology.
5. Run Sales
If you can not afford to give away free stuff, do not worry. You can always discount some items in your store.
Sales are a fantastic way to attract new customers and move old inventory at the same time. Be sure to publish your sales beforehand so people know about it.

When I saw the topic for this blog carnival, I knew I had to post. A few years ago, I saw a photo on the web site icanhascheezburger.com that was eerily familiar. It reminded me of this shot, which I took of my sister and one of our cousins:
In a previous shot, my sister appeared perfectly normal, but she hammed it up for this one. Compare it to the LOLcats shot and you're sure to see the resemblance.
Sorry, sis. Had to be done. For genealogy's sake!

Oct. 9 Edwin Jackson workout day interview
Q. You'll be pitching, you'll have over five days' rest. Will that bother you in any way, and if not, why; if so, why?
EDWIN JACKSON: At this point in the season, you're focused on one thing, that's going out, having success in the game but you're not really thinking about how many days or how long you've had off. At this point it's pretty much all or nothing, and worrying about days off is the last thing that's on my mind.
Q. You're one of the only guys on this team with post season experience. What difference does that really make, and what have you learned from the past experience that you think helps it?
EDWIN JACKSON: I think it definitely helps. The thing about post season baseball is the game can speed up real quick. You have to kind of control the pace and control the tempo, and having experience in that, it definitely helps when you get in those situations; being able to slow the game down and kind of take the crowd out of the equation and just think about concentrating on what you have to do.
Q. Just your thoughts on the Cardinals; you know them pretty well, that offense, how good it is, even without Albert this year. What challenges do they pose?
EDWIN JACKSON: It's a great hitting ballclub. Guys one through nine, they can hit the ball real well. You have to come out, be aggressive and not let those guys get comfortable and the starters you pretty much set the tone for the bullpen, and if you can go out and you can dominate, you pretty much set the tone and allow the bullpen to come in and do their job and what they are capable of doing. It's imperative for us to go out and establish command and establish control of the game so that when we do hand it over to them, they can come in more comfortable.
Q. Can you go back to the decision to sign here, how you thought you would fit in in a place that seemed to have a pretty decent rotation setup already?
EDWIN JACKSON: Before I signed, you look at the team on paper, and you definitely see there's a lot of potential, a lot of energy. The team is a young team overall with the mix of veterans that they have; it's the perfect equation for this organization. I'm sure we've played beyond everyone's expectations, but inside the clubhouse, we definitely know what we are capable of doing. It's just a matter of going out on the field and doing it on a daily basis.
Q. You've faced these guys two times in the last six weeks; what, if anything, do you take out of those two outings to come into this start?
EDWIN JACKSON: You look at the first outing, I was aggressive, I was throwing strikes, I was in the strike zone, I was ahead.
The second start, I wasn't. It's pretty simple. It's all about throwing strikes and coming out establishing that you are going to throw strikes early in the game and make them want to swing. Like I said, if you get behind in the count to these guys and let them get comfortable and know you're going to come across the plate, they do what they get paid to do real well. Like I said, establish the strike zone early and that you are going to throw strikes in and out.
Q. Your team is so good and consistent all year in the starting rotation. How eager are you to reestablish that edge after a couple shakier starts?
EDWIN JACKSON: I feel like I'm the only with the experience in the rotations now. It's high expectations on me. I have high expectations on myself, as well.
This is one of those games where you go out and you try to lead by example. You know, we are 1 1. This is a big game for both teams. Both teams are trying to come out and win this game and go ahead in the series. You have to go out and at the end of the day, it's all about execution. You just have to go out and execute and slow the game down and relax and have fun.
Q. How much of an advantage is it to come home now and play these last three at home?
EDWIN JACKSON: We definitely have the home crowd on our side. But I mean, these guys, they have been here before. They are not going to give in regardless on the road or at home. They are going to come out and they are going to put up a fight, and it's known. We have to go out and we have to relax and we have to play our type of baseball that we have been doing all year to get us to this point.
It's just a matter of everybody going out and relaxing and everybody doing their part. No one has to be a hero. You just have to go out and play the game the right way and play baseball like we know how to play.
Q. I think over the past month, you've had some strong performances and some tougher ones. What can you do to even that out? I know you talked before about trying to do that. What specifically can you do? And second part, what exactly about the Cardinals' hitters is trouble? Is it avoiding them on the outer half? What exactly do they excel at?
EDWIN JACKSON: I mean, at this point, what you've done in the regular season, it's nonexistent you can go out and have a great regular season and have a bad post season and that's what everyone remembers.
At this point, it's what can you do now, and it's just going out and trusting in your abilities and having confidence in your pitches and having confidence in yourself and your team. You know, rely on that.
It's not one particular thing with these guys. Like I said, it's just a matter of not letting them get comfortable. Any team in the Major Leagues, if you let them get comfortable, they can hit. So you have to come out and be aggressive and mix up your pitches and keep them off balance.
Q. I know you and Ross kind of embraced the role of "the other guy" this season with a lot of attention on the other three. Do you or both of you view this time now as kind of the opportunity to show that you are not just sort of "other guys?"
EDWIN JACKSON: That was kind of the joke in the clubhouse. We kind of took it and ran with it. But inside, we all know what we are capable of. We have confidence that we can run four or five guys out there and get a win with either person that we put on the field. We kind of just took advantage of being "the other guys." It's just the guys that we have in front of us, I mean, they get a lot of attention.
Me and Ross, we don't really mind not being talked about a lot. At the end of the day, once you touch the field, you have to be the best pitcher that day. Everyone that touches the field has to be the ace that day, whether it's the starter whether it's your ace or whether it's your No. 4 starter. Once you hit the field, everyone is trying to be a No. 1 starter and you're trying to be the best pitcher that day.
Q. What is the night like before a start for you? Are you a guy who is looking at a lot of tape or do you not look at any tape? Do you visualize in your head? Do you want to be around people, do you want to be alone? What's the night like before a start for you?
EDWIN JACKSON: It's pretty much a normal day. Just relax. There's nothing special that I do or don't do. Watch TV, relax. I don't really look at any baseball film or anything like that until I get to the field.
But once you get to the field, then you start visualizing; you start getting ready, and about an hour before the game is when really I'm locking it in and I'm getting ready to go on the field.
Up until that point, I try to stay relaxed. I try not to think about too much because I don't want to bombard myself with information or overanalyze any particular situation. So I just try to stay as normal as possible.
Q. Your travels have been well documented, how many times you've been traded and what clubs you've played for. Is there any part of you this post season that would like to make a statement; that I would like to stick around; I'd like to have some stability?
EDWIN JACKSON: I mean, at this point, I'm out to help my team win. I'm not out to prove a point to anyone. I'm not out with a chip on my shoulder. I mean, everyone knows my capabilities. It's just a matter of being consistent with it. Like I said, it's not about me right now. It's about those 24 guys that's in the clubhouse and the nine guys that's playing behind me. It is definitely going out and you putting 110 percent for the team.
We fought all year. We have been through a lot of adversities and it would be nice if we would be able to come out with a positive outcome in this post season.
Q. Davey has been through this with four different teams, bringing teams to the post season. What is it about Davey that connects with young players with veteran players and gets teams to this point?
EDWIN JACKSON: I'm not sure about the other teams, but with this team, he has a young team, and when you're a manager of a young team, it definitely takes a lot of patience. There's going to be times where the team is going to make mistakes, youthful mistakes that you learn over time that come with experience. So it's just a matter of being patient and allowing guys to learn how to play the game and allowing everyone to come into themselves and form into the player that they are capable of being. He's done a great job of that, of letting us play and letting us find ourselves in the game.
Q. How important will the first inning be for you to make sure that you're under control and keeping the pitch count low and having this solid start to the game?
EDWIN JACKSON: The first thing is going to be just as important as the first or fifth inning. Every inning you have to treat like it's the ninth inning and you definitely want to come out and you want to get in a rhythm as early as possible and keep it rolling in as positive direction. Every inning in post season baseball, every inning is like the ninth inning. You want to come out and you want to be the best pitcher; if they give up one, you want to give up zero and if they give up two, you want to give up less than two. You just give up less runs than the opposing pitcher.

It's the little details, like the extra box for the gigantic Rauch, that make this fantastic. The drawings for wins are great, but it's the ones for losses that help to salve the wound.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the fine, fine work. It helps in trying times.Replies
Thanks. I wasn't sure if anyone would get the box extension for Rauch. LOLDelete

Don't feel bad, I'm in the same boat. Followed the directions to the T, can't seem to get past the powering up screen, and am not getting serial output. Going to start over, ensure my 3.1.1c kernel works on the original RID software and move up.
There's no place like ~
You should always see the kernel messages on the serial console if you have "dsscon=true console=2,115200" in your bootparms. Or:Originally Posted by DocTauri
- you're using a Series2.5 kernel. While the signature will pass, these kernels tend to just lock up on a Series2.0 box because they do not support the older architecture. But it is unlikely that you have a signed Series2.5 kernel lying around.
- or, you will see a boot failure message and a reason code from the PROM monitor if a valid kernel cannot be located
- or, there's a bug in killhdinitrd

Based on test.conf, you should at least see "starting test.conf" on the serial output as it echoes that string as it's first command.Originally Posted by DocTauri
I'm using the 3.1.1c kernel that was posted here to the files section a few months back. No error messages on the screen, but if I hit return I get the "What is password" prompt. bootpage parameters are set. Cover me, I'm going in again
There's no place like ~
Ok, backed up the original RID drive, restored to another, copied the kernel off, killhdinitrd'd it, set bootpage for dsscon, upgradesoftware, console, and root. Boots fine, but I still get no serial output. If I hit return during boot, I still get the PW prompt, so the connection's good. Did I miss something? I haven't written any hacks to it yet, just the killed kernel and bootpage parameters.
One other thing: I haven't messed w/monte in a while, but do we need to do the BASH_ENV bootpage parameter for this, or was that a sleeper only thing?

Since we'll be installing backups that weren't from our machine won't we have to do a "Clear and delete everything". Won't that in turn wipe out the channel logos?
How can we get them back?
IMO using a backup image in order to migrate to 4.0 isn't really the greatest way to go about it for many reasons.

I used the PTV Image and kernel onto my Samsung 4040r. The did a clear and delete everything and the guided setup. It's like I'm not subbed with DTV. I can't replace the access guide because it says it needs the old of which I'm not sure what that means.
I don't know if this was a response to my question about lost logos but assuming it is, I agree that the way you mentioned in a previous post to this thread is best, thus I am anxiously awaiting those 4.x slices to appear on emule.Originally Posted by AlphaWolf

Maryland gained 8,100 jobs in July, but saw declines in government hiring, which had helped it get through the recession.
Private companies created 10,400 jobs, according to data released Friday by the U.S. Department of Labor, while government jobs fell by 2,300. About 1,500 of the government jobs were lost at the state and municipal level, according to the preliminary report.
Even as the number of jobs in the state grew, Maryland's labor force declined by slightly more than 7,900 workers. That meant unemployment in the state crept up to 7.2 percent, still far better than the national rate of 9.1 percent.
Federal spending helped the state weather the recession better than the nation as a whole, but Maryland has suffered since then amid wage freezes and other slowdowns and has seen cutbacks to federal agencies and contractors — a key part of the regional economy.
The Obama administration told federal agencies this week to expect 5 percent less funding and to develop plans for 10 percent less. State programs will also receive less federal funding.
Kurt Rankin, an economist with PNC Financial Services Group, said what happens in Washington has a direct impact on the state's job picture.
"This is not a trend we are going to see reversed anytime soon," Rankin said. "Government jobs are just not going to be grown with any consistency in the near future."
Local governments already are tightening their budgets.
"People are still being cautious about hiring at the state and local level," said Raquel Frye, an economist at RESI, Towson University's consulting wing. "They're being more fiscally responsible and cutting back on some of those positions that weren't being filled."
Gov. Martin O'Malley said Friday that Maryland cannot afford to lose government jobs "in this fragile economy."
"While our unemployment rate at 7.2 percent remains one of the lowest in the nation, it is unacceptably high," O'Malley said in a statement. "I urge Congress to come together for the sake of our jobs recovery, and to find a balanced, fiscally responsible approach that maintains the modern investments needed to create jobs in this modern economy."
The Labor Department also revised its June report, which had showed a decline of 300 jobs. The state actually added 4,500 jobs, according to the new data. Since January, Maryland has added a total of 13,900 jobs.
The state has shed 6,400 government positions, including 4,100 in local governments and 1,800 in the federal government, since July 2010.
Maryland's unemployment rate during the recession and recovery peaked at 7.7 percent in January 2010. After falling from that height, it has risen steadily this summer, to 6.8 percent in May and 7 percent in June.
Thirty-seven states saw their unemployment rate decrease in July from a year earlier, seven states and the District of Columbia reported increases, and six states had no change, according to the Labor Department.
Private-sector jobs have become a bright spot in Maryland's economy.
Joe Gonzales, a regional vice president based in Maryland for the staffing firm Robert Half International, said companies are now more willing to hire.
"Our local clients are more confident about their business prospects and certainly they want to hire," Gonzalez said. "Some are hiring now and some are waiting a little while, but they are definitely more optimistic about bringing in people, whether it is now or down the road."
But uncertainty remains.
Bank of America said Friday it is cutting 3,500 jobs as it continues to struggle with mortgage losses. The company declined to say how many jobs would be lost in Maryland.
"Certainly, you would like more stability," state Labor Secretary Alex Sanchez said.

The trouble with most vehicles is that you can't drive them on the sidewalk. Or through a hotel lobby–people tend to object.
Neither of those are concerns with the Ryno, an electric, self-balancing unicycle, the brainchild of Ryno founder Chris Hoffman.
The Ryno wasn't actually Chris's idea, but that of his daughter–who one day saw something similar on a videogame, and asked if dad could build it.
Chris has taken his daughter's preliminary sketch into a full, working product–one that manages 20 miles on its lithium iron phosphate battery, which takes around 1.5 hours to recharge.
Top speed depends where you're using it. The Ryno can more or less be ridden anywhere you can walk (though we suspect stairs present a problem), which means you can use it on the sidewalk or the road.
On the former, you're legally limited to 12.5 mph, but on the roads it'll do 20 mph–suitable for a jaunt around your neighborhood, or through crowded city streets.
Though the Ryno isn't on sale yet, and Chris is looking for investors, he estimates an eventual retail price of around $4,500–less than that of a considerably less cool Segway.
And judging by the reactions of people in the video, we know which one we'd rather be seen riding…

The national conservation group Trout Unlimited on Tuesday urged Congress to approve a long-term extension of the tax that funds the cleanup of abandoned coal mines.
The national conservation group Trout Unlimited on Tuesday urged Congress to approve a long-term extension of the tax that funds the cleanup of abandoned coal mines.
"The job of cleaning up the coalfields simply isn't done, so we still very much need the fund," Carol Moore, a TU member from Coal Creek, Tenn., said during a Washington, D.C., news conference.
At the same time, lawmakers on Tuesday moved to finalize another short-term fix that would reauthorize the tax through the end of September.
Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., inserted that extension into a budget bill last month, and won conference committee approval of it Tuesday.
"The families living in the coalfield communities of West Virginia and throughout America should not live in constant limbo, unsure whether the funding will be available to repair and restore the abandoned mine sites near their homes," Byrd said.
"I have done what I can to extend this program for a year," Byrd added. "But the clock is ticking, and it is time for the rest of Congress to come through for these families."
Last year, Byrd pushed through legislation that extended the AML tax from Sept. 30, 2004, through June 30, 2005. At the time, Byrd said he hoped that the additional nine months would give lawmakers time to work out a long-term extension.
But by mid-April, no comprehensive AML bills had been introduced in this year's Congress. And though negotiations are said to be continuing, little progress toward a longer reauthorization has been reported.
Under the AML program coal operators pay 35 cents per ton of surface-mined coal and 15 cents per ton of underground-mined coal.
The money is supposed to be used to clean up coal mines that were abandoned before 1977, when the federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act was passed.
In West Virginia, more than $375 million in AML money has been spent over the last 20 years to regrade scarred land, stabilize dangerous slides, fix hazardous highwalls and otherwise clean up abandoned mine sites.
But, measured by estimated cleanup costs, less than one-quarter of the state's currently inventoried abandoned mine problems have been reclaimed, according to federal data.
Since the program began, coal operators have paid more than $7 billion into the fund. But as The Charleston Gazette outlined in a series of articles last year, more than $1.3 billion of AML money has been diverted to low-priority cleanups, other projects, or health-care benefits for retired coal miners.
In a report released at the National Press Club, Trout Unlimited said that the future of the AML program remains "tenuous."
"Only a long-term reauthorization of the fund will provide the stable foundation on which coalfield communities can base sustained improvements," the group said.
But the group focused its concerns on acid mine drainage and on keeping watershed cleanup projects eligible for AML funding.
Trout Unlimited said it opposes language that would require states to more closely follow the original priority list for AML spending.
Under this priority list, states were to clean up abandoned mines that posed serious health-and-safety dangers first and then focus on environmental degradation.
Trout Unlimited also supports keeping the "general welfare" provision of the priority list, which states have used to funnel millions of dollars to lower-priority environmental cleanups.
Rep. Nick J. Rahall, D-W.Va., has proposed legislation to eliminate these loopholes and require states to clean up the most dangerous AML sites first.
In its report, Trout Unlimited said, "the efforts of states to best decide how to attend to abandoned coal mine problems within their boundaries should not be unduly restricted by the Congress.
"Governors are better suited to meet the needs of their citizens, and should be allowed to set priorities for health, human safety and restoration," the report said.
During a House hearing last year, Rahall said the goal was not to eliminate the use of AML money for watershed cleanups. But safety cleanups must come first, he said.
"Could we please leave some money to address the open pits that swallow our teenagers, to mitigate landslides that threaten grandma's house, and to combat subsidence that may engulf an entire community?" Rahall asked. "I mean, is that asking too much?"

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.
Jay Weatherill
Jay Weatherill says he wants to have "serious discussions" with Holden after the company announced it will lay off 500 workers in Adelaide.
LEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: 500 workers at the Holden car company are about to lose their jobs in another round of cost cutting in the car industry.
Today, Holden announced that the high Australian dollar was forcing it to cut its car production by almost a quarter.
Over the past 12 years, Holden has received more than $2 billion in government handouts. The most recent was a $300 million injection by the Federal and South Australian governments just last year.
The South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill is furious at today's development and he joins me now from Adelaide.
Premier, you said earlier that today's job cuts breach a deal that Holden had with the South Australian Government. What was that deal?
JAY WEATHERILL, SA PREMIER: Well, in return for our investment, there would be an investment by Holden, but there'd also be a commitment to minimum employment levels at Holden in the Elizabeth plant. And that's been breached by the announcement that's been made today.
LEIGH SALES: And what were the minimum employment levels meant to be?
JAY WEATHERILL: Well suffice to say that the 400 reduction announced today brings it below those levels. That's a matter that's been exchanged in documents. They remain confidential to the parties, but it's a clear breach of what we entered into agreement about.
LEIGH SALES: Do you have any recourse to that?
JAY WEATHERILL: Well, I mean, the essential recourse is that we haven't yet paid our $50 million and so now we need to reflect upon what we've heard today. Obviously we want Holden to proceed with its billion-dollar investment. We - this was to secure the period between 2016 to 2022. That remains very important. This is an incredibly important employer in the north of South Australia. So we now have to reflect upon what this means for the whole agreement.
LEIGH SALES: Isn't the problem, though, that governments have propped up the car industry for so long that if you now were to withdraw that $50 million off the table, you're gonna see mass job losses in South Australia?
JAY WEATHERILL: Well our agreement was a bit more sophisticated than that. It involved a transition from the existing arrangements to a new set of arrangements. We were working with Holden to work with our components suppliers so that they can be first-class suppliers so they can fit into Holden's global supply chain. We also wanted Holden at the Elizabeth plant to be part of the global supply chain, not just supplying for a domestic market because we knew that there was no future in that. So, there are a range of important undertakings that Holden has given us in this agreement which are about transitioning essentially a South Australian industry base which has been old manufacturing into an advanced manufacturing sector and we know that's the future for manufacturing in South Australia, indeed in this nation.
LEIGH SALES: What sort of notice did you get that Holden was reneging on the deal as you see it?
JAY WEATHERILL: Not much.
LEIGH SALES: Well what exactly?
JAY WEATHERILL: Well, this morning.
LEIGH SALES: And how did you actually find out? Who told you you that this was coming?
JAY WEATHERILL: Well, I was advised that Mark Devereux wanted to speak with me this morning and I spoke with him and he outlined the nature of the announcement that he was going to make a few hours later to the workers at Holden. And obviously there are a lot of workers here in South Australia that went home to their families tonight, about 400 of them, and they'll face a very uncertain future. The 1st August is the date when the company wants to achieve these redundancies and many of them'll be feeling very insecure and on their behalf I'm very upset.
LEIGH SALES: Had you had any dealings with Holden recently where you feel that perhaps you could've been given a little bit of advance notice that this was coming?
JAY WEATHERILL: Well, yes. I mean, we were out there celebrating the launch of the the new vehicle that they were putting out into the market and there was lots of back slapping and good times were had by all and there was no mention of such a dramatic decision that was about to be announced, and I think that's wrong.
LEIGH SALES: You talked before about old manufacturing versus advanced manufacturing, that you want to see South Australia go down that route. Isn't the issue though we've got this very high Australian dollar; other countries can do more manufacturing more cheaply? We just cannot compete in manufacturing.
JAY WEATHERILL: No, that's not the experience. I mean, some countries around the world that have very high Australian dollars, very high rates of pay, so high skill levels, high rates of pay, are still able to have successful manufacturing sectors. And that's because they go up the value chain. They don't seek to compete merely on the basis of cost. They seek to compete on the basis of value. And we're doing that here. I mean, in South Australia we have a car components sector which is world-class. We supply a very large proportion of the world's mirrors with a technology that was created here in the University of South Australia, a surface coating technology which has now been taken up and used internationally.
So, there are ways in which by going up the value chain, by using technology, by resting on the skills of our workforce and the sophistication of our tertiary institutions that we can actually have an advanced manufacturing future, but it's a transition. It's very hard to actually build a manufacturing sector if you lose one overnight. And that's why we were working to transition with Holden in this way. And that's why it's so disappointing that we feel like we've been let down by a decision of this sort.
LEIGH SALES: Well Holden says that conditions have changed quite quickly. So, for example, that competitors' currencies have fallen quite dramatically against the Australian dollar and so that this decision has within forced by factors outside Holden's control. What do you say to that?
JAY WEATHERILL: Well I have no reason to doubt that, but I'm talking about our relationship - the South Australian Government's relationship with General Motors Holden and the agreement I struck with the chief executive of General Motors Holden and the undertakings that were provided to us and our expectations as a state that has actually supported this company for decades and decades. And I think we deserve better. There are a range of important undertakings in that agreement that I want to ensure are delivered to South Australians and now we need to have some serious discussions with the company.
LEIGH SALES: Premier Weatherill, thanks for your time tonight.
JAY WEATHERILL: Pleasure. Thank you.

Phone Braver Monitors Your Calls
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, Misc. Tech, Science,
With an idea that originated from the Japanese TV show "Cellphone Investigator 7," Softbank has created a mobile phone that can also be a robotic friend. Attach PhoneBraver's arms and legs and it will begin to respond with differing faces. It also pays attention to your phone habits. If you call someone frequently it will say, "You're calling her often these days, aren't you?"
Apparently, you will be able to carry on a conversation by responding to PhoneBraver's questions. We are not sure that we want our handset monitoring our phone calls. Look for it to come out this April.

Tornado Hits Norman, Okla., Causing Minor Injuries (Apr 14, 2012)
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Officials say a tornado that touched down near the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman caused a few minor injuries and some property damage.
The National Weather Service confirmed that a twister touched down Friday afternoon near the campus and a state highway.
Norman Regional Hospital spokeswoman Kelly Wells says about 10 people were treated for "bumps and bruises."
Deputy Fire Chief Jim Bailey says the tornado damaged several homes and buildings in the city of about 100,000 residents 20 miles south of Oklahoma City.
University spokesman Michael Nash says students and non-essential personnel at the weather service's offices on the campus were ordered to remain indoors due to a tornado warning.
The tornado was part of a large storm system expected to pass through the nation's midsection this weekend.
