"What excites me about Play for Peace is that it becomes part of communities by empowering youth through ongoing training programs that teach them to facilitate the art of play for other children within their own community. With this approach youth gain essential life skills and are provided with an opportunity to create the change they wish to see in their own lives and surrounding environments. Play for Peace is a pro-active approach to instilling peace and more over encourages youth to learn from conflict and come up with solutions to resolve issues. Allowing youth and children to experience the joys of cooperation can empower them with the ability to make more conscious decisions, encourage them to be more aware of the choices they make and demonstrate how their actions are connected to those around them. There is so much that can be learned and achieved through play, more than can be measured but one can admire the magic of fun through all of the smiles and laughter – this is the true spirit in Play for Peace for me."

Currently working as a coordinator, Play for Peace. Most recently, I worked as a youth program coordinator at Global Youth Leadership Institute for 2 years in Milwaukee, WI and I was Intern at Waskowitz Outdoor School in North Bend, WA for 6 Months. I have been involved working with Play for Peace for the past 11 years. My travel include India, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Pakistan, Cambodia, Nepal, South Korea and USA to work with organizations, schools, teachers, youth and children, especially in areas of people and communities living in conflict, covering major issues such as Collaborative leadership, Peace education, Interfaith, environmental sustainability, youth and community development. My PFP journey from youth facilitator to a trainer was incredible. I got fascinated with PFP activities and methods right from my first training. It was my first ever experience of non-competitive activities and feeling no fear of losing. As a teen when I started playing with children, I gained respect, appreciation and self-confidence, which propelled me to become an achiever.
Why PFP - My PFP journey from youth facilitator to a trainer was incredible. I got fascinated with PFP activities and methods right from my first training in 2000. It was my first ever experience of non-competitive activities and no fear of losing. As a teen when I started playing with children, I gained respect, appreciation and self-confidence and as an adult it helped me see the unbelievable result of equality, cooperation and trust by just playing. These experiences propelled me to become an achiever in long term. You can say i am a model of PFP transformation.

Originally being from Vermont, Jeff found his home in Guatemala, where he´s lived ever since he came in 1986 with the Peace Corps, with the exception of a one-year escape to Taiwan in 1995. Over the last 25 years Jeff has been working with experimental education, leading adventure Leadership classes, facilitating team building activities, establishing a ropes course in Guatemala and using sports games for community building. Jeff has been associated with Play for Peace for the last 15 years of his life and is willing to bring Play for Peace forward in Central America.
Why PFP - "In the current work that I do at my school, cultural diversity is the expected norm that is cultivated throughout and with which I have played an instrumental part in instilling in our school culture. I see the ingredients of fun and play being so universal to allow for the inroads to be made into many communities and issues inherent to the communities."

Language - German, English, Spanish, Russian
When I was 12 years old, Neonazies burned a building where Asian immigrants lived, practically in front of my eyes in my home town. That´s when I became an activist. First in the anti-racism movement in Germany, where I´m from. Later I volunteered for the youth press and youth participation movement in Germany and in Europe, teaching journalism to young people as a tool to express themselves and participate in society. I was one of the founders of the European Youth Press, a network that today covers more than 50.000 young journalists in Europe. For 14 years now I´ve worked as a trainer in different organizations and institutions, with a specialty in media and advocacy work. Highlights were my work for Doctors without borders for the "International Access to essential drugs" campaign and the establishment of a youth parliament in Kabul, Afghanistan. Today I live with my Costa Rican husband and my two kids in Guatemala, modeling intercultural understanding as a living example, dedicating my time to Play for Peace in Central America and the world.
Why PFP - What´s more important than peace? As a mother of two kids, living in one of the most dangerous areas in the world (according to the UN, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras are one of the most dangerous areas in the world where there is no ongoing war), peace in communities and empathy and trust between its people is the basis for any development. But sometimes barriers are so deep, hatred is ancient, and fear is so overwhelming, that talking is not the right tool to overcome it. But starting a game in the street, with a couple of kids stumpeling by, laughing, then attracting others, maybe cautious at first, embarrassed, but slowly enjoying themselves...can be a start for more. Play for Peace can start a communication, just by engaging people into laughing with each other. How powerful! And how satisfactory, having the privilege to be part of this start.
Country - Connecticut, USA
Profession - Adventure Education expert
Language - English
"I was originally turned on to adventure and experiential education as a teenager as part of a Project Adventure program at a school. I fell in love with it! The activities were fun and meaningful, but with a sense of adventure that spoke to my nature. As an older professional, I was re-introduced to it when a colleague decided to start an adventure program here at Saint Joseph College and asked me to help him with it because I would be great at it. Now, eleven years later, I have him to thank for redirecting my career path and intertwining it with my life path, weaving my need to do meaningful and impactful work with things that I love to do and that help people to learn more about themselves and others. I have worked with groups of all types using the experiential and adventure education models, and in a variety of settings. In planning and implementing half-day programs to semester or year-long programs for groups ranging from middle and high-school aged children in a school setting, to middle school aged kids in a camp setting, to college students in a higher ed setting, to corporate groups, the model does not change too significantly. The language and metaphor we use may change and the desired outcomes indicated may differ, but as Plato said, "You can learn more about a person in an hour of play than in a lifetime of work". We all stand to learn so much about each other through play! Additionally, I teach coursework using the experiential and adventure education models, as well as provide teacher trainings and conference presentations and workshops using this modality."
Why PFP - "Play for Peace, at its core, seems to align very closely with my core values and beliefs: that all people can live harmoniously and learn from one another through the joy of play. Play is the great equalizer. When we play, we don't see age, color, or gender per se, we are immersed in the moment, and in those moments lie rich teaching and learning opportunities for all involved. Understanding and utilizing the experiential learning cycle enriches these learning opportunities
through reflection and application of "aha moments" discovered through play, to other areas of the play participant's lives. This is where the power of this type of learning resides. Play by itself is a beautiful thing, but when enriched through intentional reflection, players become emotionally engaged in the lessons learnedand with the people with whom they've learned and played with.
The Play For Peace model of training youth to be facilitators is a brilliant one. For one, it empowers youth, giving them leadership, facilitation, activism and public speaking skills that will help them grow into confident adults. It also provides an opportunity for them to shine now, as youth leaders and role models. This ensures that the younger participants in play days can engage with other youth that they can aspire to be like, leading to sustainability of the Play For Peace clubs, like sowing the seeds each year for a new crop of young facilitators to grow out of this garden of peaceful young people effecting positive change in their local communities and in our global village."

"They call him the ""Drug Guy,"" but I call him medicine in motion. Jeff Albin is a certified chemical-dependency professional and a skilled wilderness survivalist with over 15 years experience. Growing through groups: Jeff is currently working in schools in southern Washington as an Intervention and Prevention Specialist where he uses play to set up group dynamics that foster personal growth. His games focus on essential skills that most educational curricula overlook. Early activities encourage healthy communication, dealing with conflict and how to ""refuse anything that doesn't feel physically and emotionally safe."" As a group of kids gets more cohesive, the games progress toward building trust and personal connections and the ability to ask for, receive and offer help freely to others. A sense of commitment and involvement develop as kids explore ways to find common ground and consensus. A highly functioning group becomes skilled at goal setting, planning, assessing risk and taking
responsibility. These factors build the kind of self confidence that can carry a kid successfully through life. As Jeff says, ""The mind is the tool we need to sharpen."" (from Kylie Loynd,Publisher: rewiev from: Changing the message in Education, by Jeff Albin)"

Because I have seen people transformingtheir life by finding their feet and being able to value the smiles they bring to children.

Waugh rates Lara, Tendulkar on equal terms
Former Australian captain Steve Waugh feels both West Indies' Brian Lara and India's Sachin Tendulkar are on equal terms because they played in different conditions and under different sort of pressures.
"I hate comparisons between players because it unnecessarily creates controversy. Both played under differentpressure and for different teams. I would place them pretty much on equal terms," Waugh told reporters during an interaction organised by Brigade Orchards.
Lara and Tendulkar were unbelievable players, who won games for their teams, playing under different conditions, Waugh said.
"Sachin was carrying on his shoulders amazing pressure of 1.3 billion people. Brian obviously was the best player in a weak team," he added.

'Dhoni has got so much of magical touch'
Another former Australian captain, Ricky Ponting had rated Lara ahead of Sachin as he felt the West Indian helped his team win more matches.
On Tendulkar's retirement, Waugh said all good players ultimately have to hang their boots.
Despite the retirements of legends like Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, Waugh said Indian cricket will survive as it has abundance of young talents.
On Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy, Waugh said he has a magical touch and hardly commits mistakes.
"During Australia's tour of India last year, Dhoni came in and scored a double century when India's chips were down. He knows how to perform at the big stage. He has got so much of magical touch," Waugh said.
"It is not easy to captain India where fans expect a lot from the players," he said.

'At the moment Australia is struggling a bit'
On Australia's chances here in October, Waugh said India is a fantastic team.
"India has always been a favourites at home. At the moment we are struggling a little bit," he said.
About Australia's opposition to DRS for many decisions going against them in the ongoing Ashes series, Waugh said the system is pretty good.
"We are getting more decisions right than wrong and I think it is a positive development," he said.

A small but very effective pepper spray canister is also a good idea to have with you.

Why Ordering an Essay Is a Good Solution?
Writing an essay is one of the most difficult tasks that students have to deal with. It requires you to state your own opinion on a specific issue keeping the scientific nature of the work intact. In fact, the author of the essay has to balance on the fine line between the artistic and scientific style of presentation.
In addition, this type of the assignment does not allow direct copying of information from books, internet sources, periodicals, etc. Only direct quotations are allowed, and still in very small quantities. Because of these limitations, such a small task (usually 3–5 pages of printed text) often causes difficulties for students as much as the implementation of a coursework or diploma.
Students who do not know how to accomplish this task go to different tricks. For example, they download pre written works from the internet. As a result, they often come across plagiarism and get a mountain of problems with inadmissions or retakes. In this regard, the implementation the most reasonable solution is to buy pre written essays from a professional company. Indeed, why do you need to waste your time and make titanic efforts if you can simply order essays from professional authors and save your time?

The price for this type of work is usually not very expensive and is affordable to most of the students. The exact cost of work is reported by a personal manager when placing an order.
Like the price, the time of writing is calculated based on the theme of the work, its size, and complexity. On average, our authors need from 2 to 3 days to complete this type of work. However, if the client needs it urgently, the essay can be written in less time.

Sometimes, probably most of the time, I just walk to the kitchen without any idea what to cook for dinner. I open the fridge and grab the veggie which require less labor work (peeling, cutting, chopping, etc,)
Just throwing few ingredients in your pot and you create a new dish. But again, be logical and play with your taste, think the spice you like, veggie and create. This mac and cheese is prepared like this. Just modified according my taste bud and the availability of my pantry. Please feel free to modify according your need.
Only thing, I cooked everything in microwave. So if you don't have one or prefer stovetop you could do it. The dish should please all moms; Kids will get their dose of veggie, cheese and mac.
Microwave Kraft Mac and cheese: single packet – or cooked macaroni pasta (1 cup)
Bell pepper (red & green) diced: ½ cup
Spring onion diced: 2 tbsp
Tomato paste or pasta sauce: 2 tbsp
Cheddar Cheese reduced fat: to cover the dish (2 tbsp)
Chili powder: ½ tsp
Garam masala: a pinch
Oil: 1 tsp
Salt: pinch

Duluth murder suspects challenge indictments
A jailhouse informant provided crucial information that helped investigators arrest five suspects in last year's fatal shooting of a Duluth college student, newly filed documents reveal.
The "primary source" of information pertaining to the February 2017 death of William Grahek came from an inmate who reportedly received a confession from one of the three men present at the crime scene, according to briefs filed this month by defense attorneys.
The documents state that the inmate told police in an interview and later testified before a grand jury that 20-year-old Noah Duane Baker described to him the circumstances of the shooting that occured while he and the other men attempted to steal drugs and cash from Grahek's East Hillside residence.
The briefs, which also shed new light on the moments that led up to the shooting, were filed after prosecutors recently turned over a transcript of the grand jury proceedings to defense attorneys.
Baker, 22-year-old Deandre Demetrius Davenport and 19-year-old Noah Anthony Charles King are seeking dismissal of their first-degree murder indictments, alleging a lack of probable cause.
"The record from the grand jury transcript is insufficient to support the indictment for murder in the first degree," attorneys wrote. "Specifically, if believed, the allegations in the grand jury proceeding do not demonstrate the intention to kill necessary to support the charged offense."
Grahek, a University of Minnesota Duluth student, was shot inside his home at 510 E. 11th St. on Feb. 14, 2017. The case went unsolved for several weeks until five suspects were arrested in early March.
While basic allegations surrounding the shooting were disclosed by authorities in charging the five suspects last March, the sources for much of the information that allowed the case to move forward were not previously publicly identified. Prosecutors also initially declined to disclose the identities of two key witnesses to defense attorneys, citing concerns for their safety and the integrity of the investigation.
The new documents, filed by attorneys for Davenport and King, state that it was an inmate incarcerated alongside Baker at the St. Louis County Jail who helped develop the case.
The inmate, identified only by initials I.N.G., requested to speak with investigators on an unspecified date in order to "provide information regarding the death of William Grahek in exchange for some benefit or reward," the motions state.
I.N.G. reportedly told police that Baker described going to Grahek's home with Davenport and Baker in an effort to steal a safe they believed to contain the party drug "molly," also known as MDMA, and cash.
Baker stated that they kicked down a door and confronted Grahek in the living room, ordering him to the ground, according to the account. They allegedly planned to retrieve the safe from the basement level, but Grahek refused to get down on the ground and instead began approaching the three intruders, according to the account relayed by I.N.G.
At that point, Davenport fired a gun twice, fatally striking Grahek, according to the statement. The three men ran from the house without ever reaching the basement or removing any items.
In an apparent contradiction, the defense attorneys wrote that other physical evidence presented to the grand jury indicates that Grahek was actually shot in the basement level of the residence and walked upstairs before he collapsed.
Davenport, Baker and King were indicted by a grand jury in August on two counts each of first-degree murder. The indictments allege that the trio was responsible for causing Grahek's death while committing, or attempting to commit, robbery and burglary. The charges, which can only be levied by a grand jury, carry mandatory life sentences, if convicted.
The defendants already were facing intentional second-degree murder and attempted first-degree aggravated robbery charges when the indictments were handed down. But attorneys are asking 6th Judicial District Judge Mark Munger to toss the more-serious charges.
"Despite the reliance on I.N.G., upon close scrutiny, the record is absent any credible evidence of an intention to kill William Grahek," Kassius Benson, an attorney for Davenport, wrote in his motion. "In fact, the record of the evidence before the grand jury indicates the contrary — that no intent to kill existed."
Citing the testimony of I.N.G., the attorneys wrote that the shooting appeared to come in response to Grahek's "aggressive and unexpected posturing and approach" after he refused their demands to get down on the ground.
"Noah Baker made it sound like they were scared, they had to shoot him, you know," the inmate testified, according to the motions.
Steve Bergeson, an attorney for King, wrote that the evidence arguably supports probable cause for lesser charges, but argued that the indictment must be tossed.
"In the end, the only reasonable conclusion, based upon the record of the grand jury transcript in this case," he wrote, "is that the death was the unintentional result of a botched robbery attempt; i.e. unintentional second-degree felony murder."
Prosecutors are expected to file arguments in opposition to the defense motions in the coming weeks before Munger issues a decision. Future court dates have not been set for any of the three defendants.
Settlement conferences are scheduled for the two other defendants charged in the case. Munger previously found probable cause to uphold charges against 27-year-old Xavier Alfred Haywood and 23-year-old Tara Rai Baker.
Haywood, who allegedly instructed the trio to rob Grahek and later harbored them in a Superior hotel, is charged with aiding an offender to avoid arrest. He will appear March 2.
Tara Baker, the girlfriend of Davenport and sister of Noah Baker, is accused of serving as a getaway driver. She faces charges of aiding and abetting murder and robbery, and is set to appear March 7.

Whenever I look at listings of homes for sale in Viera, Florida I always glance at the the price and general specifications like bedroom/bathroom count before proceeding to the most important advertising tool a seller has....the pictures.
Usually even some of the most humble properties have pictures that are generally pretty good. Perhaps this is a reflection of the quality of cameras and availability of photo editing software.
Our local Brevard MLS system allows up to twelve photos. This limitation can be a challenge when trying to sell a home for sale with lots of great qualities and space.
Oh, back to my epiphany regarding the pictures...
- Listings which have all allowable photos but fail to include kitchen or bathroom photos are like that for a reason.
- Listings which fail to include any interior pictures are like that for a reason.
Buyers are almost always more interested in the kitchen and master bathroom than any other interior space. If they are not shown, there may be an issue.
Skimping on the pictures can mean only two things: Issues or a listing real estate agent who has yet to realize that buyers want to see and not just read about a house.
When you are ready to sell your Brevard County, Florida home, call me at 321-693-3850 or email me to discuss how I can work for you, please.

In India, high population growth, high rate of urbanization and a high growth in the number of vehicles have led to the problem of congestion. In the absence of sufficient public transport, private vehicle ownership has grown in leaps and bounds and this is the reason why most of the Indian cities are chock-a-block (packed) with traffic.
As incomes rise, car loans proliferate and the auto industry churns out low-cost cars. Indians are rushing headlong to get behind the wheel. Indians bought 1.5 million cars in 2007, more than double of that in 2003. The cumulative growth of the Passenger Vehicles segment during April 2007-March 2008 was 12.17 percent. In 2007-2008 alone, 9.6 million motorized vehicles were sold in India. By some estimates, India is expected to soar past China this year as the fastest growing car market. India's population and its traffic are concentrated within its cities. The contrast between urban and rural India is far more pronounced than in most Western nations. The migration of rural population to urban areas in search of better job prospects has made cities densely populated. About 27% the population lives in urban areas. There are 4000 cities and towns in India. About 400 cities have a population over 100,000. Eight cities have population more than 3 million (Uddin, 2009).
India has more truly congested cities than any other nation, which is not surprising, since it is also the world's second-most populous country, after China. Vehicles in India are distributed somewhat unevenly. Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru have 5% of India's population but 14% of its registered vehicles. Traffic is growing four times faster than the population in six cities: Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad. Indeed, Delhi is now said to have as many cars as Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai combined. Traffic is well known for moving at the pace of its slowest component. Most countries have automobiles, buses, trucks, trains, motorcycles, motor scooters and bicycles. But in India, in addition to this routine urban transportation, and contributing substantially to the congestion, are networks of auto-rickshaws and two-wheelers, as well as bullock carts and hand-pulled rickshaws (disappearing from some urban areas). There has been a staggering 100 fold increase in the population of motorized vehicles; however, the expansion in the road network has not been commensurate with this increase. While the motor vehicle population has grown from 0.3 million in 1951 to over 30 million in 2004, the road network has expanded from 0.4 million km to 3.32 million km, only an 8 fold increase in terms of length during the same period. However, upgrading of roads by way of widening of carriage-ways, improved surface quality, strengthening/reconstruction of old/weak bridges and culverts, etc. has been carried out (Uddin, 2009)
A number of studies on congestion have been carried out for different cities of India. The effect of different types of vehicle on congestion has been captured on the basis of marginal congestion by Maitra et al. (2004) . Using congestion models, the marginal congestions have been estimated for different road widths, traffic compositions and on-street parking levels. The peak hour vehicular composition and volume level vary for different roads in an urban area. Therefore, for assessing the operating conditions for different roads based on a comparable quantitative measure, the marginal congestion caused per Passenger Car Unit (PCU) of mixed traffic stream has been estimated and denominated "Marginal Congestion Index (MCI)". The use of MCI for prioritization of management actions for different urban roads has been discussed.
Singh & Sarkar, (2009) made an attempt to determine congestion pricing in central area of Delhi that is Connaught Place with a view to ensuring desired Level of Service. Two methods for the determination of optimal pricing were adopted. The first method was related to the Point of pricing where the external costs were met by the revenue generated by the pricing level while the second method was the Pricing level needed to maintain a level of service C. By using these methods, pricing for car and two-wheeler motorized vehicles had been determined.
Varmora and Gundaliya (2013) in their study in the city of Ahmadabad have shown that due to change in carriageway width and vehicle composition, the traffic stream speed and flow also encounter more congestion level along the length of link.
Roy et al. (2011) discuss a novel and interesting way to detect the congestion on the urban arterials in India. They suggest using a Wi-Fi signal emitting device and a receiver across the road to identify the congestion. This method was found to be successful in terms of high accuracy of classifying the road as congested or free flowing (Rao & Rao, 2012) .
Sen et al. (2009) discussed the characteristics of the ITS techniques that need to be developed to cater the traffic conditions and congestion in developing regions and presented a brief description of a few efforts being made in this direction (Rao & Rao, 2012),
While the transport situation in India's rapidly growing cities is challenging, it is not hopeless. Indeed, local, state, and national governments could almost immediately undertake decisive actions that would greatly improve the situation, or at the very least, prevent its worsening (Pucher et al., 2005)
Improved Public Transport System: One of the ways to reduce congestion is to improve the public transport system. An efficient, fast, attractive, clean public transport system can reduce the number of private vehicles on the road. There is considerable evidence to suggest vehicle owners will use a mass transit system, if a good one is available. In fact, because of traffic snarls and the problem of finding parking space, many commuters in cities like New York and London choose to travel by the metro rail network (Uddin, 2009) . In some routes in Kolkata, particularly those leading to the IT sector in Salt Lake, buses are air-conditioned, attractive and well maintained. These are used even by the private car owners (Chakrabartty & Gupta, 2014)
Improved Traffic Management: This includes installing improved and technologically advanced traffic signaling devices. Stricter enforcement of traffic regulations on the road can also curtail congestion. This should also include proper training to drivers so that they maintain lane discipline and not overtake continuously. Overtaking aggravates the problem of congestion. In Kolkata, as compared to say Mumbai drivers do not have any road discipline which causes more congestion(Chakrabartty & Gupta, 2014).
Improved Rights of Way for Pedestrians: When the pedestrians overflow into the roadways from the footpaths then congestion is aggravated and the risk of accidents also increases.Thus, there is a need to keep the footpaths clear of encroachments so that people can walk on them and not on the roads. There is also the need to build subways and footbridges where necessary and convenient. There are a number of footbridges in Kolkata but people hardly use those (Chakrabartty & Gupta, 2014).
PPP in Maintaining and Running Buses: More private participation and investment in public transport, mainly buses, is needed. This can lead to more efficient and attractive public transport compared to the government owned ones. Public Private Partnership (PPP) is also required in building and maintaining roads (Chakrabartty & Gupta, 2014).
Congestion Charging: Cities around the world such as Singapore and London have introduced congestion charging schemes to reduce traffic. For instance, in London, drivers are charged a fee for entering the Central London zone. The idea was to ensure that those using the road infrastructure made a financial contribution towards it, discourage vehicle owners from making unnecessary journeys and encourage the use of public transport systems. The results were impressive indeed: traffic in central London went down by about 21 per cent, and traffic speeds went up by about 10%. Congestion charging brings with it a dual advantage: it reduces traffic on the roads and generates funds that can go towards improving alternative systems of transport (Uddin, 2009).
The government of India is planning to introduce congestion charging in the city of Delhi followed by those of Pune and Bangalore. (http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-04-08/news/29396678_1_congestion-fee-private-vehicles-public-transport). In Kolkata congestion charges can be introduced on a few roads leading to the Central Business District (Dalhousie Area), in the morning peak i.e. from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. collection of the toll or tax by an automated machine would be difficult, however, because of the investment involved in installing these machines and further in their maintenance, and also for administering difficulties, unless private sector can be drawn in (Chakrabartty & Gupta, 2014).
It is true that congestion charge will dissuade people from making unnecessary trips during peak hours, but it may lead to distortion in income distribution. Many lower income people need to travel by public transport during peak hours. If they are made to pay the congestion charges in the form of raised bus/tram fares, they have to be compensated somehow, may be in the form of transport allowances; the government may not take that additional burden. On the other hand, transport price without congestion charge is itself a subsidy. In that case, public transport may be barred from entering the CBDs (Central Business District) in peak hours and riders made to walk. So, instead of raising bus fares in peak hours, car owners and other private vehicle owners may only be imposed the congestion charge (Chakrabartty & Gupta, 2014).
In the coming years traffic is expected to grow substantially in response to the mobility needs of the expanding population. Given the limited road space in the core city areas, this vehicular growth will lead to acute congestion in most of the Indian cities. To deal with these problems steps have to be taken, like inducting skilled staff, imparting administrative and technical training to the staff, utilizing more private resources, etc.

Comfort Crafting.
Not too much going on in my neck of the woods. Just lots of rain, humidity and annoying mosquitoes here. Par for the course, I suppose, for mid summer in Sydney Australia. Well, I guess the upside to all this wet is that I have been given plenty of opportunity to try things with my light box or light tent as some say, in attempts to get this whateveryoucallit to work for me. Nowhere near mastery, but I am noticing the differences a bit of tweaking makes. I still have much further East to fly towards total enlightenment, but I'm giving it a whirl. Bit Zen, hey?
This card is made entirely from Spellbinders Labels 4 dies (The Grand Labels 4, Labels 4 and Labels 4 Small). Such a cool shape. I love it's vintage look. This shape of Nestabilities die paired with one of my favorite Waltzingmouse stamp sets called Rescue Remedies does a happy crafter make. I know, I know. I do blab on about this stamp set, but it is just that good. It doesn't need much beyond stamping to make it look pretty sweet, I reckon. Or should I say, it is a set that takes a fair bit for me to make look bad...more to the point. *wink*
Thanks for swinging by. Here's to an inspired day for us all!

text: SARANAC LAKE Bluseed Studios will host a special exhibition Unique Blend featuring some of the North Countrys finest artisans, beginning Nov. 13 and continuing through Dec. 14. The exhibition features a unique blend of pottery, black-smith iron work, weaving, assemblage/collage art, photography and jewelry. Featured artists include: Amy Coddington-Burnette, Donna Foley, Peter Shrope, Matt Paul, Mary Lou Reid, Brooke Noble, David Woodward, Shelle Bailey, Russ Bailey and Bob Walp. Carol Marie Vossler, executive director of Bluseed, called the exhibition a wonderful start to the holiday season. This is a chance to embrace and support the regional talent while learning about the different artisans who are tucked away amongst our landscape, said Vossler. Each artists craft will be for sale on a cash-and-carry basis. Normally, when a piece of artwork sells, the buyer has to wait until the end of the exhibition to pick up the art. Letting the artwork go lends itself to the spontaneity of the exhibition and the spirit in which the craftsperson makes and sells their work. As the work is sold, the artists will replace it with a new item. For more information about Unique Blend or any Bluseed events, call 891-3799.

Lara's limitations - helpful charts
Before making my level I decided to make a test room, testing Lara's jumping abilities - how far could I push her..
And also how far she could fall without dying or losing too much health.
Sorry if something like this already exists - but I thought this might be helpful for any newbies out there who might be interested in Level Editing.
Most will know these already perhaps, but here goes.
How far can Lara jump?
While standing still, Lara can perform a standing jump in any direction.
Using this move, she can easily clear a 1 square wide gap..
A gap of 2 squares wide can either be jumped over using a running jump, or Lara can reach the other side using her standing jump -
she does however need to grab the edge in order to make it across.
A gap of 3 squares is normally the maximum in which Lara can reach.
In order to make the leap, Lara needs to perform a running jump, then hold the Action button in order to grab the edge.
How high can Lara jump?
The highest ledge Lara can reach from the floor, is 7 clicks high.
The highest Lara can reach when performing a standing jump however, is only 6 clicks high. She'll only just grab the edge in this way.

Based on the post above by dcw123, I compiled a concise summary with some good-looking images.
Lara's limitations: summary
Lara can clear a gap...
...two squares wide, with a standing jump:
...three squares wide, with a running jump:
Remark: in both cases, the destination ledge can be one click above the ledge she is jumping from.
Lara can reach an edge...
...seven clicks above her, with a straight up jump:
...six clicks above her, with a standing jump:
...six clicks above her, with a running jump, if the edge is after the first square:
...five clicks above her, with a running jump, if the edge is after the second square:
Lara will run out of air after swimming 87.5 squares:
Note: if she swims in a non-straight line that figure will be reduced.
Lara can sprint before getting tired ten squares:
After running off a ledge, Lara can cover...
...one square, if she was at the edge:
...one and a half square, if she was away from the edge:
...almost three squares, if she was sprinting:
Lara will die after falling...
...21 clicks, if she hanged off the edge:
...18 clicks, if she ran off the edge:
...17 clicks, if she jumped off the edge:
Lara can aim at an enemy away from her eight squares:

Real-Time Reporting Service Rolled Out
10 June 2013
Law Debenture's new Dynamic Analytical Reporting Tool System (DARTS) went live with its first CLO manager in May. The real-time service leverages business intelligence to retrieve, report and analyse European ABS and CLO performance data.
With the rise of the CLO market, traditional investor reporting had become cumbersome, while collateral managers were unable to receive results of hypothetical test requests in an efficient manner. Law Debenture Agency Solutions (LDAS) identified two areas that needed to be improved: investors required a flexible and transparent reporting tool; and collateral managers required a tool to facilitate asset substitutions.
"DARTS enables collateral managers to run multiple trading scenarios within minutes, enabling them to execute time-critical trades, as well as test cure analyses, par coverage ratio analyses and so on. Typically, it could take hours, if not days, to process the results. With DARTS these results are available in minutes," explains Neil Lewis, senior relationship manager at LDAS.
He continues: "In addition, investor compliance reports are now available in a more user-friendly format with the ability to generate trend and historical analysis, thus comparing previous reports. With these customised reporting tools available for investors, the deal manager's reputation will also be enhanced, providing an obvious advantage when looking for new investments towards their future CLO issuances."
Users of DARTS can drill down into and manipulate the data in order to run a variety of trading scenarios within minutes. Investor dashboards display all of the test results, as well as historical trends and accompanying graphics.
Developed in collaboration with existing clients, other functionality offered by DARTS includes: the ability to warehouse loan notices; the provision of 'what-if' scenarios around principal pay-downs and reference rate changes for loan facility transactions. Furthermore, at a time when investors are required under CRD IV to prove that they understand a securitisation, DARTS can provide analysis in support of this.
LDAS provides administrative and agency solutions for structured and non-structured transactions within the financial services industry. DARTS was designed to be used by collateral managers and investors in CLO transactions. It can equally be used by other associated parties and on securitised, leveraged or financial transactions, including by borrowers/lenders, auditors, rating agencies, arrangers and corporate service providers.

Director: Ron Howard
Stars: Michael Keaton, Gedde Watanabe, George Wendt, John Turturro, Mimi Rogers
Zany Japanese (including one played by Gedde Watanabe, a.k.a. Long Duk Dong, who you know is coming on this list) take over an American auto-manufacturing plant and bewilder blue-collar Yanks with their zany Japanese ways. (Funny accents! Chopsticks! Public bathing!) In the end, the Americans learn how to be über-efficient and the Japanese presumably learn how not to run a billion-dollar industry into the ground. [Squinty-eyed Asian laugh.]

This has probably already been answered, but I would really appreciate if somebody was able to give me a quick answer on some questions I had after rewatching K & H last night.
1. At the roulette wheel in Vegas after the peyote, and Tony keeps winning, he says "he's dead", before he falls over. Who was he referring to? Was it really his father as opposed to Chrissy?
2. I hadn't realised first time round that in his Melfi session, Tony gave quite a few details as to "it" that he saw in the desert. He said "there is something else out there. This isn't all there is", to which Melfi replied "a parallel universe?". Tony then said maybe. He also reinforced "Hey, I'm a good guy, basically". Was Tony talking about "Heaven"? And if he was, did he believe he would gain entry?
Re: Questions about K & H#2
There's a lot of discussion about both issues in this thread:
Page 3 is where the discussion really begins about who the "he" in "he's dead" is.

Tony, his spirits crushed after b-lining to the fridge first thing in the morning: "Who ate the last piece of cake?"

Going social
mullerj 0100000HUM Visits (5899)
I just got back from a family reunion in San Luis Obispo, CA. It was great to relax and visit with everyone. And it looks like I was not the only person focused on being social, UIE has published a "Going social" podcast, which discusses how to build "an involved and contributing community of users". Jared Spool and Robert Hoekman, Jr. discuss psychology principles (liking, reciprocity, and persuasion) and suggest a few books which examine the intersection of psychology and web design, including Joshua Porter's Designing for the Social Web, and Christian Crumlish and Erin Malone's Designing Social Interfaces. The 15 minute podcast also includes some interesting examples of computer assisted social faux pas, and it has an intertaining "NPT Car talk" style to it ... which makes it fun and easy to listen to.

We went to an indian restaurant in Broadway the other day, called "Little Haveli". We had a birthday dinner there.
Main curry such as butter chicken curry around $14, which you have to order a rice or nan for $2.
Or you can choose a plate with several kinds of curry with salad and nan which is around $10.
After meal Lassi is available for $ 2.50 as well. I had never drunk Lassi, but it does not taste like any other juice… it was like a Yogurt drink that I had in Japan, but it was not the same. Anyway I certainly loved it.
Indian culture often can be seen anywhere in Sydney.
There were not many Indians settled in New South Wales in the early 19th Century because most of them were workers. Besides, there were a number of convicts from India as well.
Major emigration beacon from around 1853, supported and organized by Sir William Burton, a judge in NSW. The number beacon to increase from then.
Especially, the number of Indian students in Australia increased from 30000 in 2004 to 97000 in 2009. Also, Indians are the 6th biggest overseas born population in Sydney.
We went to an indian restaurant in Broadway the other day, called "Little Haveli". We had a birthday dinner there.
The restaurant is not so big and retains home like atmosphere, but during dinner time there are lots of customers including not only Indians but also people from other nationalities.

Hand Embroidered Kitchen Towels
Have you ever had a project in mind for ages and ages before setting about to get it done?
Well, today's project is one of those things I've put off for who knows how long and boy let me tell you it's an amazing feeling to finally have it completed.
Nothing grand or overly difficult, mind you . . .
One can't get more simple than a flour sack tea towel.
Add a ruffle and a little embroidery and you've got yourself a quick spruce-up for the kitchen.
Flour sack towels in the kitchen have long been my favorites,
For one, they leave no lint behind when you hand dry your dishes,
they air dry very fast,
and they seem to get softer each time you use them,
plus they are prefect for tossing over a bowl of raising dough just like grandma use to do back in the day!
I use them alot over the Christmas holiday to quickly cover something that needed to set up in the fridge for a while.
I wish I could tell you for sure where I purchased these from since the fabric is thick and the size is very generous even with having trimmed one side off to make the ruffle. I'm pretty sure it was Fleet Farm, which I think is a Wisconsin/ Minnesota store.
I'm pretty sure I'll be making some more of these in the very near future!
Have a great day.

In honor of yesterday's Fat Tuesday, we wanted to share a recipe that will transport you straight to New Orleans — gumbo. Gumbo is the official state cuisine of Louisiana. Some of the first written recipes for gumbo date back to 1885. It is a combination of West African and French cuisine. It's enjoyed year round and can be made with a combo of fowl, seafood, beef or pork.
We chose this recipe because it gives great details on what makes a gumbo an official New Orleans gumbo, the roux. Roux is the base of many Cajun and Creole dishes. For official New Orleans Gumbo you want a deep, dark chocolate brown roux. You can find the recipe for gumbo, here.
No matter where you live this recipe will give you a taste of Louisiana! Give it a try and let us know how it goes in the comments below.
