Cathedral News, May 14, 2017
From the Canon's Corner
Today, we are recognizing graduates during our services: those who are graduating from College, High School, and even distance learning programs, like our Education for Ministry program here at the Cathedral. We recognize them in our larger community because these are moments of transition and during moments of transition we need all of the help we can get, life is changing in a way where it can never revert back to the comforting timing of the bells that signal movement from one class to the next or the ability to plan your college schedule so that you do not have to do anything before noon. Transitions like this signify a change in the community of people with which we spend most of our time. All of this is to say that I hope that we as a community of prayer are taking time to lift up our graduates by name in our daily prayer life. I have had the pleasure of spending time with most of our graduates, especially those who are graduating from my EfM seminar and I wish all of our graduates the very best in their future endeavors.
I don't think I could have picked better readings for a Sunday where we recognize graduates. The disciples in this story are experiencing something akin to graduation, though they do not quite know it yet. The Christ recognizes that the time has come to prepare his disciples for a life of ministry without his physical presence. This transition finds them scared and desperate for any words from Jesus to dispel their inevitable and sharp feelings of doubt. It is in this moment that we receive some of the most often quoted and perhaps misunderstood words of Jesus "I am the way, the truth, and the life."
What Jesus is saying here is that there is no reason for the disciples to doubt their ability to find their way to God. They have followed Jesus, received his teaching (sometimes with difficulty), they have even broken bread with the Bread of Life. In their desire to seek and serve Christ in all things, the Christ seems to say, there is little chance of them losing their way now. This is also a challenge, however, to continue to live as though Jesus was with them, even though they have lost that physical intimacy of a life literally spent in his footsteps.
What a profound word of encouragement to our graduates! And indeed to all of us. In this dark night of the soul for the disciples, Jesus encourages them to trust themselves and to trust him. As our graduates (and the rest of us) move into the next phase of their life, I pray that they do so confident in the knowledge that they take the love of Christ, and of this community, with them wherever they go.
Alleluia, Christ is risen!
The Rev. Canon Michael Drinkwater+

Looks like the PWD brands are trying to come back after all this time.
Who owns it now?
Do they have the 'original recipe'?
Do they have the right setup for producing it?
Why come back now?
Has someone just bought the rights to the brands?
After all this time it looks like PWD brands are trying to be resurrected. Will they ever be the same or is it too little too late?
If anyone knows the answers to these questions then leave a comment here or join the discussion in the Forum [Popper retail experiences].

* Vale lost permits after partner accused of corruption
* Permit covered giant Simandou iron ore deposit
* BSG Resources denied allegations, seeking arbitration (Adds Conde quote, no comment from Vale, details)
By Stephanie Nebehay
GENEVA, April 30 (Reuters) - Guinea's President Alpha Conde said on Wednesday he hoped Brazilian miner Vale would bid to reclaim two iron ore permits, because the company had not been involved in the alleged corruption that led to their cancellation.
Guinea cancelled the two mining concessions jointly held by Vale and BSG Resources earlier this month, after a government-appointed technical committee accused BSGR of obtaining the rights through corruption.
BSGR, the mining branch of Israeli billionaire Beny Steinmetz's conglomerate, has denied the allegations and said it will seek international arbitration.
Conde told reporters during a visit to Geneva on Wednesday that Vale, the world's largest iron ore producer, had done nothing wrong.
"We will launch an open and transparent bidding process ... Vale was not involved in the corruption or aware of it and we strongly hope that Vale will participate," Conde said.
"Vale can come back through the bidding process," he added.
Vale entered into a joint venture with BSGR to mine the giant Simandou iron ore deposit and the nearby Zogota concession after the permits were already acquired and has denied any wrongdoing.
According to a source close to the company, Vale had spent more than $1 billion on its Guinean venture by the time it put the project on hold at the end of 2012.
Vale has not said whether it will try to get the concessions back and company officials were not immediately available for comment after Conde's statement.
Guinea is already the world's top supplier of the aluminium ore bauxite and its iron ore reserves have drawn billions of dollars in investments.
However, investor interest in the country has cooled amid political instability and a contract review launched in 2011 to review mining deals signed before Conde came to power.
Conde said that around 800 permits, most of them inactive, have been cancelled during the process. Eighteen contracts were still under review, he added.
He thanked Guinea's international partners for helping it investigate its mining sector.
"Even though we are weak ... the cooperation with the judicial authorities in Switzerland, the United States, France and even the tax havens kept us from being at a disadvantage. I think that is the most important lesson of Simandou," he said.
Frederic Cilins, a former BSGR representative in Guinea, was arrested last year as part of a U.S. investigation into payments made to Guinean officials to secure mining rights to Simandou.
He pleaded guilty in New York last month to one count of obstructing a criminal investigation.
With reserves of iron ore, gold, bauxite and diamonds, Guinea is potentially one of Africa's richest countries. But it remains one of the world's least developed, ranking 178th out of 187 countries in the U.N. Human Development Index last year.

Iconic CBS newsman Walter Cronkite's famous tag line seems to be coming back to haunt us. "And that's the way it is…," were the words Walter uttered at the conclusion of each broadcast. He was telling us something important, even if the method of communication was casual and concise. His message was simple – he'd just told us what happened. What really happened. He didn't sugar coat it, or editorialize about why it happened, or what might happen next. Nope, Walter became the most trusted man in America for the simple reason that he reported the news. That's all.
As I watch political battles being waged today, I miss Walter more than ever. Similarly, when I hear the comments made by Monday morning quarterbacks, political wannabes, and far too many pseudo-reporters, Walter's words come back to me again. Because they don't seem to understand the basics, and so they confuse themselves with inventions of their own that cloud issues, foster dissent, and occasionally lead to really bad knee-jerk political action based on fear rather than knowledge, insight, or legal precedent.
My most recent flirtation with this phenomenon has to do with local politics here in my central Florida city. Our city manager recently made a public statement that has ruffled feathers. He said he does not work for the public, he works for the five city commissioners who are elected by the public. This has infuriated some, irritated others, and merely made a few shake their heads in disbelief.
The local newspaper ran an editorial that castigated the city manager for not understanding his job, and reiterated that he does indeed work for the people, as do all the employees of our city government.
That's a beautiful story. It inspires the populace to pump their fists and proclaim, "Damn right," as if they have a deep understanding of the inner workings of municipal government. The only problem is they're wrong. Not just a little wrong either. They're flat out, don't have an idea what they're talking about wrong. And that hurts.
Kathryn Schulz wrote, Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error. It's a fascinating book which touches on a stunningly common fault of human kind. Being wrong. Or to paraphrase, Cronkite, "That's not even close to the way it is."
Schulz was featured in a wonderful TED Talk where she posed the question, What does it feel like to be wrong? Everybody has some idea on the topic. They find it embarrassing, humiliating, frustrating, etc. And then Schulz points out those emotional reactions are not how you react to being wrong, they are examples of how you react once you find out you're wrong. Being wrong feels exactly, yes, exactly like being right – and so there is no embarrassment, not shame, no frustration, and maybe most importantly, no effort put into learning the truth.
Swinging around back to the city manager's statement in my city, he is entirely correct. He does not work for the public, he works for the five city commissioners who were elected by the voters. That may not leave the reader with the same warm fuzzy feeling the newspaper's position shoots for, but it has the distinct advantage of being true, and verifiable.
Uh oh, there's proof of this stuff? That changes everything.
The municipal code of my city says the following; "The city commission shall appoint a city manager who shall be the administrative head of the municipal government under the direction and supervision of the city commission…" Yeah. The management chain is not up for public discussion. It's actually written down in a document that highly trained college graduates like to call, the law. Ooooo, there's an editor turning red right now. I can just feel it. But I can't tell if it's from embarrassment at being proven wrong, or a result of a blood pressure spike that might just hit a new record high.
That same municipal codes goes on to say, "The city manager shall be responsible to the city commission…" Which really sucks, because that's an actual fact, not an opinion made up to satisfy the agenda of an editorialist with little to stand on besides the soles of his Hush Puppies.
And as good ol' Walter Cronkite would say at this point, with emphasis on the first word, "That's the way it is…really!

Colton is not so timid anymore… need proof!? See this picture!
I was working in the kitchen while they were outside playing and this is what I saw. Colton riding Claire's tricycle down the slide! I just had to laugh and grab my camera of course!
Claire calls the play structure her ship. I guess because it has a steering wheel and spy glass. She says, "Colton lets go get on the ship". Cracks me up.
They had so much fun this summer playing outside.
I love when they play together so well… moments like this are priceless.

Global managers' perceptions of cultural competence
To work effectively in the global business arena, managers need a strong set of intercultural management skills. When dealing with clients, co-workers, and other stakeholders at home or abroad, managers with cross-cultural competence have a distinct competitive advantage in the multicultural marketplace. Although generally accepted as a valuable asset for doing business, cross-cultural competence defies easy definition. This study attempts to conceptualize the complex term from the practitioner's point of view. What does cross-cultural competence mean to global managers? From their perspective, which aspects of culture do business people need to understand? From the universe of cultural beliefs, values, attitudes, and country-specific information, what should an executive, with limited time, focus on to develop a basic level of cultural competence? This study asked Mexican managers what they needed to know about culture to do business with the U.S. In the process, they consistently identified certain basic components of cultural competence. Responses were surprisingly similar among the managers, indicating they had a clear picture of which cultural essentials were most important for global executives to learn. The results of the study reveal a working definition of cultural competence for global managers. This research also provides trainers and business educators a content framework for a short-term training program, based on the global managers' perceptions of cross-cultural competence.

This was a great little diner for breakfast! The food was good and extremely inexpensive! There were 3 of us and I think our bill was about $22! Service was fast and friendly, will definitely visit again next time I'm in Jamestown!
This is definitely good home cooking. We both had eggs and pancakes and they were wonderful. We sat at the counter and watched Cindy cook, it was amazing the coordination of all of the kitchen staff.
Lunch with colleagues. Excellent service, homily feel. The locals go here and that must be a good sign. Spaghetti with meatballs are a winner. To quote Arnold "I'll be back".
Friendly staff and great breakfast highlight this classic diner. Eat at the counter for the total experience.
Just passing through and stopped here from reading the other reviews. Had a western omelette and home fries. Service was quick and friendly. Food came right off the grill. I enjoyed watching the food being cooked. Excellent place for breakfast.
I have eaten here many times on our visits. Do yourself a favor and drop in. Great service, good food and reasonable prices
Great food and great service. Food is always served fresh and hot off the grill. Huge blueberry pancakes and crispy home fries are the best! Coffee is always good and cup is kept full.
This is one of my favorite spots when we visit my husbands family! Tastes like the breakfast my grandma used to cook. The pancakes our huge and the home fries are my favorite! Has that small town feel and the staff makes you feel like...更多
Great for traditional breakfast and lunch foods. A small town atmosphere and like a step back in time. Wait staff very nice and remember you!

The beginners guide to powerpoint presentations
Post by www.dcc.vccs.edu
How to make a power-point presentation step by step
I. The Opening Screen
You will see the default opening screen is actually composed of three parts:
1. The Slides/Outline tabs on the left which displays thumbnails or lists of all slides
2. The main Slide pane (center) which allows you to work on individual slides.
3. Notes Pane (bottom): In the Notes pane, you can type notes about the current slide. You can distribute your notes to your audience or see your notes in Presenter view when you give your presentation.
By default, PowerPoint 2010 applies the Blank Presentation template, which appears in the previous illustration, to new presentations. Blank Presentation is the simplest and most generic of the templates in PowerPoint 2010, and is a good template to use when you first start to work with PowerPoint.
To create a new presentation that is based on the Blank Presentation template, do the following:
1. Click the File tab.
2. Point to New, and under Available Templates and Themes select Blank Presentation.
3. Click Create.
II. The Title Slide
When you open a new presentation in PowerPoint 2010, the program assumes that you will begin your slide show with a Title slide. Adding a title and subtitle to this slide layout is as easy as clicking in the text boxes provided and
III. One of the first things you will want to think about is the "look" or design theme of your slides.
PowerPoint has a number of built in themes you can choose from. Design themes were first introduced in PowerPoint 2007. They work in a similar way as the design templates in earlier versions of PowerPoint. A really nice feature of the design themes is that you can immediately see the effect reflected on your slides, before making your decision.
IV. Apply a Design Theme
a. Click on the Design tab of the ribbon.
b. Hover your mouse over any of the design theme icons shown.
c. The design is reflected immediately on your slide, so you can see how it will look if you apply this design theme to your presentation.
d. Click the design theme icon when you find one that suits your needs. This will apply that theme to your presentation.
V. Test Out More Design Themes
The design themes that are immediately visible on the Design tab of the ribbon are not all the themes available. You can scroll through the existing design themes by clicking on the up or down arrows to the right of the themes shown, or click the drop down arrow to reveal all of the available design themes at one time.
More design themes are available to download from the Microsoft site, by clicking on that link.
VI. Design Theme Color Schemes
Once you have selected a style of design theme that you like for your PowerPoint presentation, you are not limited to the color of the theme as it is currently applied.
1. Click on the Colors button at the right end of the design themes on the Design tab of the ribbon.
2. Hover your mouse over the various color schemes shown in the drop down list. The current choice will be reflected on the slide.
3. Click the mouse when you find the right color scheme.
VII. Select a Font Family
Each design theme is assigned a font family. Once you have selected the design theme for your PowerPoint presentation, you can change the font family to one of the many groupings within PowerPoint 2010.
1. Click the Fonts button at the right end of the design themes shown on the Design tab of the ribbon.
2. Hover your mouse over any of the font families to see how this group of fonts will look in your presentation.
3. Click the mouse when you have made your selection. This font family will be applied to your presentation.
Just as you were able to change the background on a plain PowerPoint slide, you can do the same while using one of the many design themes.
1. Click the Background Styles button on the Design tab of the ribbon.
2. Hover your mouse over any of the background styles.
3. The background style will be reflected on the slide for you to evaluate.
4. Click the mouse when you find a background style that you like.
IX. Background Graphics Can Be Hidden
Sometimes you want to show your slides with no background graphics. This is often the case for printing purposes. The background graphics will remain with the design theme, but can be hidden from view.
1. Check the Hide Background Graphics box on the Design tab of the ribbon.
2. The background graphics will disappear from your slides, but can be turned back on at any later time, by simply removing the check mark in the box.
X. Font Size and Color
A number of factors, such as room lighting and room size, can affect the readability of your slides during a presentation. Therefore, when creating your slides, choose font colors, styles and a font size that will make it easy for your audience to read what is on the screen, no matter where they are seated.
When changing font colors, choose ones that contrast strongly with your background. When choosing a font / background color combination, you might also want to consider the room you will be presenting in. Light color fonts on a dark background are often easier to read in a very dark room. Dark color fonts on light backgrounds, on the other hand, work better in rooms with some light.
In the case of font styles, avoid fancy fonts such as script styles. Difficult to read at the best of times on a computer screen, these fonts are almost impossible to decipher when projected on to a screen. Stick to standard fonts such as Arial, Times New Roman or Verdana.
The default sizes of fonts used in a PowerPoint presentation – 44 point text for titles and 32 point text for subtitles and bullets – should be the minimum sizes you use. If the room you are presenting in is very large you might need to increase the font size. Font sizes may be smaller if the presentation is meant to be viewed on a computer screen.
XI. Steps to changing the font style and size
1. Select the text you wish to change by dragging your mouse over the text to highlight it.
2. Click the font drop-down list. Scroll through the available fonts to make your selection.
3. While the text is still selected, choose a new size for the font from the font size drop-down list.
1. Select the text.
2. Locate the Font Color button on the toolbar. It is the letter A button to the left of the Design button. The colored line under the letter A on the button indicates the current color. If this is the color you want to use, simply click the button.
3. To change to a different font color, click the drop-down arrow beside the button to display other color choices.
You may choose a standard color shown, or click the More Colors… button to see other options.
4. De-select the text to see the effect.
XIII. Adding Media to Your Slides
1. Add Clip Art and Pictures Using a Content Slide Layout
PowerPoint 2010 offers you a number of different ways to add clip art and pictures to a presentation. Perhaps the easiest way to do so is to select a slide layout that contains a placeholder for content such as clip art and pictures.
On the Home tab of the ribbon either click on the New Slide button or change the current slide layout by clicking on the drop down arrow beside Layout.
There are a number of different Content slide layouts available for you to choose from. To add a single picture or a piece of clip art, click on a simple layout such as Title and Content and the layout of your current slide will change to match your choice.
If you have chosen one of the simple content layouts, your PowerPoint 2010 slide should resemble the graphic below. The content icon in the middle of the slide contains links to six different types of content that you can add to the slide. The clip art button is in the middle of the bottom row of icons.
Tip – If in doubt about which button to use, simply place your mouse over a button until the little help balloon appears. These balloons or Tool Tips will identify what the button is used for.
2. Resize Clip Art
Clip art comes in different sizes. Some will be larger than your slide while others will be tiny. Either way you may need to resize the image you want to include in your presentation.
When you click on a clip art image, a border and tiny white circles appear on the edges of the image. These circles are called resizing handles (or selection handles). Dragging one of these handles allows you to enlarge or shrink your picture.
The best way to resize clip art or any picture, is to use the resizing handles located on corners of the picture, rather than the ones at the top, bottom or sides of the picture. Using the corner handles will keep your image in proportion as you resize it. If you don't maintain your image's proportion it is likely to end up looking distorted or fuzzy in your presentation.
3. Inserting Photos
Like clip art, photographs and other pictures can be added to a slide by choosing a Content Layout slide and clicking on the appropriate icon (for pictures it's the mountain icon).
An alternative to this method is to select the Insert tab on the ribbon and click on the Picture icon, as shown in the image at the top of this page.
An advantage of using this approach for either pictures or clip art is that you do not need to use one of the preset slide layouts containing a content icon to insert an image into your slide. The example shown in the following pages, inserts the picture into a Title slide layout.
Search Your Computer for the Photos
If you have made no changes to the settings in PowerPoint 2010 since the original install, PowerPoint will default to the My Pictures folder to look for your pictures. If this is where you have stored them, then select the correct picture and click on the Insert button.
If your pictures are located elsewhere on your computer, use the drop-down arrow at the end of the Look in box and find the folder containing your pictures.
4. Crop Unnecessary Elements from the Photos
Once the photo has been inserted into the PowerPoint 2010 slide, you may wish to remove extra elements from the picture. Most photos can be made just a little better by cropping unnecessary elements, such as background walls, floors, shoes or other unnecessary objects that do not enhance the photo.
Here's How to Crop your Image: Picture Tools
Click on the picture to select it. This will activate the Picture Tools link above the ribbon. Click the Picture
Tools link to reveal all the options relating to pictures.
Crop Tool
The Crop tool is located on the right side of the Picture Tools. Click the crop tool and you will notice that there are black "crop" handles around the border of the picture. Drag these handles to remove the excess elements that are unnecessary to the picture.
Note – It is important to note that even though the picture has been modified by cropping, these extra elements are simply hidden from view and are still part of the picture. Think in terms of a piece of paper that you rolled partly up, like a scroll. The items on the rolled part are still there, but simply hidden from view.
XIV. Slide Management – Adding, Rearranging and Deleting Slides
So far we have looked at creating only one slide, but you will actually want to create a number of them to develop a slide show. And once you have several slides, you may find you want to reorder them or delete some of them altogether. Here is how to do that.
1. Use the New Slide Button
Click on the New Slide button on the Home tab of the ribbon to add a new slide to your presentation. Any new slides created will retain the design theme you set for your slideshow in the first slide.
2. Deleting a Slide in the Slide tab
Slide Views: Use the Slide View That is Right for the Task
Slides in any PowerPoint presentation can be viewed in a variety of ways depending on the task at hand.
To access all the different slide views, click on the View tab of the ribbon at the top of the PowerPoint screen. On the left end of the ribbon you will see buttons with the different options to view your slides.
Deleting Slides
Select the Slide to be Deleted
On the Slides tab of the Slides / Outline task pane on the left of your screen, click on the thumbnail of the slide you wish to delete. Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
3. Move Slides Using the Slides / Outline Pane
a. Click on the slide you wish to move, to select it. b. Drag the slide to the new location.
c. A horizontal line appears as you drag the slide. When the horizontal line is in the correct location,
release the mouse.
d. The slide moves to the new location.
XV. Setting up the PowerPoint Slide Show
1. Slide Transitions – Choose a Slide Transition
1. Click on the Transitions tab of the ribbon to access the slide transition options. The most common slide transitions are shown as icons on the ribbon.
2.Click the drop down arrow to see the complete list of transitions available, or scroll through the list, one row at a time.
With PowerPoint 2010, you have the ability to see the transition effect on the slide by hovering the mouse over the transition choice, prior to making your selection.
There are several options that you can choose to add to your PowerPoint 2010 slides.
•Whether to apply to this slide or Apply to All
•How to advance the slide
•on mouse click
•or automatically after a set number of seconds
There are Many Sound Effects to Choose From
Sound effects can be effective if applied wisely to PowerPoint slide transitions. For example — a presentation
that is about the increasing sales figures might be effective with a cash register sound effect on a slide transition.
There is also an option to Loop Until Next Sound which you can apply to the slide transition. In my opinion, this should be used only sparingly, and only in certain situations (such as a presentation for small children). The sound effect will keep repeating until another sound effect is reached, and could be very distracting to the audience. A single sound effect will certainly make your point.
2. Previewing your Show
The Slideshow tab will let you set up how your show will progress. First you may want to preview your raw show to see if the slides seem in the proper order and if you like the transitions.
To preview, click the Slideshow tab and select either From Beginning (to see show from the first slide on) or From
Current Slide (to see show from a slide selected in the Slide Pane onwards).
3. Using the Set Up Show feature to create the delivery of your show
Note that timings for your slides were supposed to be set up in the Slide Transitions step. You can always go back and adjust them.
The easiest way to set the slide timings is to rehearse and time your PowerPoint presentation by progressing through the slides as if you were seeing them for the first time. As you click the mouse to advance the slides, PowerPoint can record the timings on the slides for you.
XVI. Saving and Distributing your PowerPoint Show
1. Name and save your presentation
As with any software program, it is a good idea to name and save your presentation immediately and then to save your changes frequently while you work:
· Click the File tab.
· Click Save As, and then do one of the following:
· For a presentation that can be opened only in PowerPoint 2010 or PowerPoint 2007, in the Save as type list, select PowerPoint Presentation (*.pptx).
· For a presentation that can be opened in either PowerPoint 2010 or earlier versions of PowerPoint, select PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation (*.ppt).
· On the left-hand pane in the Save As dialog box, click the folder or other location where you want to save your presentation.
· In the File name box, type a name for your presentation, or do nothing to accept the default file name, and then click Save.
· There are other formats to which you can save if you are not sure whether your end users have access to PowerPoint. These include PDF and video.
2. Printing your show for handouts
To set your printing options (including number of copies, printer, slides to print, number of slides per page, color options, and more) and then print your slides, do the following:
· Click the File tab.
· Click Print, and then under Print, in the Copies box, enter the number of copies that you want to print.
· Under Printer, select the printer that you want to use.
Tip If you want to print in color, be sure to select a color printer.
· Under Settings, do one of the following: To print all slides, click Print All Slides.
To print one or more slides that you selected, click Print Selection.
Note: It is always a good idea to set your printing to more than 1 slide per page to save paper.
Tip To select multiple slides to print, click the File tab, and then in Normal view, in the left-hand pane that contains the Outline and Slides tabs, click the Slides tab, and then press and hold CTRL while you select the slides that you want.
3. Follow these steps to create a CD to present your slide show on another computer.
· Open the presentation that you want to copy, or, if you are working with a new presentation that has not been saved, save the presentation.
· If you want to save your presentation to a CD, rather than to a network or to a local disk drive on your computer, insert a CD into the CD drive.
· Click the File tab.
· Click Save & Send, click Package Presentation for CD, and then in the right pane, click Package for CD.
· To choose the presentations that you want to copy and the order in which you want them to play, do the following:
· To add a presentation, in the Package for CD dialog box, click Add, and then in the Add Files dialog box, select the presentation that you want to add and click Add. Repeat this step for each presentation that you want to add. Repeat this step also if you want to add other related, non-PowerPoint files to the package.
· If you add more than one presentation, the presentations will appear on a Web page that lets you navigate to the contents of the CD in the order in which they are listed in the Files to be copied list in the Package for CD dialog box. To change the order, select a presentation that you want to move, and then click the arrow buttons to move the presentation up or down in the list.
· To remove a presentation or file from the Files to be copied list, select the presentation or file, and then click Remove.
· Click Options, and then under Include these files, do one or both of the following:
1. To ensure that files that are linked to your presentation are included in the package, select the Linked files check box. Files that are linked to your presentation can include Microsoft Office Excel worksheets that are linked to charts, sound files, movie clips, and more.
2. To use embedded (embedded object: Information (object) contained in a source file and inserted into a destination file. Once embedded, the object becomes part of the destination file. Changes you make to the embedded object are reflected in the destination file.)TrueType fonts (TrueType font: A font (typeface) that appears on a printed document exactly the way it appears on the screen. TrueType fonts are scalable to any font size. Several of these fonts are installed Notes
1. If your presentation does not currently include embedded fonts, checking the Embedded TrueType fonts check box includes the fonts when packaged. The Embedded TrueType fonts check box applies to all presentations that are copied, including linked ones.
2. If your presentation already includes embedded fonts, PowerPoint automatically honors the setting of the presentation to include the embedded fonts. automatically when you install Windows.), select the Embedded TrueType fonts check box.
· Click OK to close the Options dialog box.
· Next o one of the following:
1. If you are copying your presentation to a network or to a local disk drive on your computer, click
Copy to Folder, enter a folder name and location, and then click OK.
2. If you are copying your presentation to a CD, click Copy to CD.
4. Save your presentation as a video
Why turn your presentation into a video?
When you want to give a high-fidelity version of your presentation to colleagues or customers (either as an e-mail attachment, published to the web, on a CD or DVD), save it and let it play as a video. It is also an excellent format to include in Blackboard or post on YouTube.
In PowerPoint 2010, you can now save your presentation as a Windows Media Video (.wmv) file, and distribute it confidently, knowing that your animated, narrated, multimedia presentation will play without a glitch. If you do not want to use the .wmv file format, you can use a preferred third party utility to convert your file to another format (.avi, .mov, etc).
Some tips to remember when recording your presentation as a video:
· You can record and time voice narration and laser pointer movements in your video.
· You can control the size of the multimedia file and the quality of your video.
· You can include animations and transitions in your movie.
· Viewers do not need to have PowerPoint installed on their computers to watch it.
· If your presentation contains an embedded video, the video will play correctly without your needing to control it.
· Depending on the size your presentation, creating a video can take a long time to create. The longer the presentation and the more animations, transitions, and other media that you include, the longer it will take. However, you can continue to use PowerPoint while you wait.
Here's how to do it:
3. (Optional) Record and time narration in a slide show and Turn your mouse into a laser pointer.
4. Save the presentation.
5. On the File menu, click Save & Send.
6. Under Save & Send, click Create a video.
7. To display all video quality and size options, under Create a video, click the Computer & HD Displays down arrow.
8. Do one of the following:
· To create a video with very high quality, yet a large file size, click Computer & HD Displays.
· To create a video with a moderate file size and medium quality, click Internet & DVD.
· To create a video with the smallest file size, yet low quality, click Portable Devices.
Click the Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narrations down arrow and then, do one of the following:
9. If you did not record and time voice narration and laser pointer movements , click Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narration.
· Tip The default time spent on each slide is set to 5 seconds. To change that, to the right of Seconds to spend on each slide, click the up arrow to increase, or the down arrow to decrease the seconds.
10. If you recorded and timed narration and pointer movements , click Use Recorded Timings and Narrations.
11. Click Create Video.
12. In the File name box, enter a file name for the video, browse for folder that will contain this file, and then click Save. You can track the progress of the video creation by looking at the status bar at the bottom of your screen. The video creation process can take up to several hours depending on the length of the video and the complexity of the presentation.
· Tip For longer videos, you can set it up so that they create overnight. That way, they'll be ready for you
the following morning.
13. To play your newly-created video, go to the designated folder location, and then double-click the file.

My Listening Tour was about finding out where we are at in our pursuit of gender equality and where we should focus our efforts in the future. I travelled to every state and territory and I personally met over 1000 Australians from all walks of life. Many more had their say on our blog, and many thousands more followed our journey on the internet.
I can report – without reservation – that in 2008, gender inequality remains an everyday lived experience for women and men in Australia. Moreover, people told me loud and clear – gender equality matters.
Following the Listening Tour, I will focus on five key areas that I have identified as important to achieving gender equality.
Achieving greater balance between paid work and family responsibilities for men and women
Across Australia, women and men shared with me the daily grind of balancing work and family. Women continue to do the double shift of paid and unpaid work, while workplace cultures often mean that men can't access flexible work arrangements, even when they are available. From corporate boardrooms to factories, fathers are feeling the pressure of being the primary breadwinner – and many told me they want to do it differently.
Many businesses are introducing innovative strategies to make family friendly and flexible work more than just empty slogans. Leadership is also needed at the highest levels to drive deep cultural change to make flexible work the norm, not the exception.
No longer can our workplaces afford to only value what is known as the ideal worker – who is male, without visible caring responsibilities and able to exceed full time work hours. This model has never worked well for women and increasingly not for men either.
Support for legislated paid leave for parents is widespread – as far as many are concerned, it is a national embarrassment that Australia lags so far behind our international counterparts. There is no question that paid maternity leave is a basic human right.
I will continue to advocate for a government funded paid leave scheme for parents that is world class – one that delivers for families, employers and government.

Increasing the number of women in leadership positions, including supporting Indigenous women's leadership
Women's voices continue to be under represented in leadership and decision making roles across the community, government and business. Increasing women's representation at the most senior levels is a top priority for achieving gender equality.
While we often hear of the absence of women on boards, it is equally important that we support and resource the efforts of the many women who are working at the grassroots to improve the lives of their communities – women found everywhere across our nation.
During my Tour, I met Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who are driving immense social change within their communities – often in the face of extremely limited resources. They are leading efforts to make their communities safer, healthier and stronger. These women must be supported as leaders in Australia – regionally and on the international stage. There is much to be learned and shared with women across the world.
I am eager to build bridges between the corporate world and Indigenous Australians, particularly through fostering relationships between women leaders in these two spheres of Australian life.
Driving down the incidence of sexual harassment
It is clear from my Listening Tour that there is a need to put sexual harassment back on the radar. Sexual harassment remains embedded in workplaces across Australia. Many women fear repercussions if they complain, describing it as 'career death'.
Often, employers were reluctant to talk about sexual harassment, and those who did told us they were often unclear about the best way to respond. Sexual harassment comes at a high cost – both to individuals and business. We can no longer afford that cost.
I have commissioned a national survey to track trends in the nature and extent of sexual harassment in Australia. I will use this research to develop an education strategy, aimed at employees and employers, to reduce the incidence and impact of sexual harassment.
It is my goal that in five years time, every employee in Australia will know their rights about sexual harassment and feel confident to make a complaint. I want to see that every employer – small or large – understands their responsibilities and is taking active steps to prevent and eradicate sexual harassment.
Reducing the gender gap in retirement savings
Half of all women aged 45-59 have $8000 or less in retirement savings – compared to $31,000 for men. This is an injustice which, if left unaddressed, will only grow as a major social and economic problem.
On my Listening Tour, many older women shared their anxieties about living in poverty in their later years struggling to make ends meet, often after a life spent caring for others. Unless action is taken, many more will share this same fate.
Addressing women's low levels of superannuation and retirement savings includes looking at innovative ways to recognise and value unpaid work, the large majority of which is done by women.
This is a very complex area of public policy. I will be working with a range of experts – academic, government, policy, finance and superannuation – to investigate these factors. People who spend a lifetime providing care deserve better than poverty in their old age.
Strengthening laws to address sex discrimination and promote gender equality
Strong legal protection from sex discrimination and sexual harassment is at the foundation of gender equality. In 2008, it is time to look at ways to improve protection afforded by law.
The Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee is currently undertaking a review of the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth). This is an historic opportunity for us to evaluate whether the legislation has effectively delivered on its objectives.
It is clear that protection from discrimination on the grounds of family responsibilities needs to be broadened. Currently, it only covers individuals if they are sacked because of family responsibilities, and provides even less coverage for men. We need to secure a first-rate system of legal protection from sex discrimination and sexual harassment for Australia.
The pursuit of gender equality in Australia is a shared vision. Governments, women's organisations, community groups, researchers, business, unions, and many others each play a crucial role. I look forward to working in collaboration with all of them to make this vision a reality.
This is an edited extract from a speech given by federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick on 22 July 2008, as she launched the report from her Listening Tour of Australia. A full transcript of the speech and report are available at www.humanrights.gov.au.

Friday, July 4th we went to the Rachel Carlson Tide Pool after breakfast.
It's a really neat area where sea creatures get trapped when the tide gets real low.
Looking for sea creatures!
Ok, I totally get "mother of the year" right here.....
Remy all "I do it!" walking by herself in like 6 inches of water......
Fell down......
Her head never went in the water.....I repeat, HER HEAD NEVER WENT IN THE WATER!
And her Gaga was right by her, so naturally I just took photos of her trying to stand up, but continuously falling down instead.
Yep, MOTHER. OF. THE. YEAR.
Rylie and Gaga were laughing with me.
Poor baby!
And she's fine!
(It was very hilarious and cute to watch! hehe)
Warming up with Mimi! That water was very cold!
And back at it again! All they saw were some little crabs and 1 sea urchin, but they had a blast!
And since Hurricane Arthur made its way up to us, it poured rain the rest of the day!
So we just hung around the house and played!
The girls got a little stir crazy, but we still had fun. It was one of those perfect rains where it just comes straight down, no wind, no lightning, no thunder. And it continued for 24 hours straight. It was so relaxing to sleep to! But they cancelled our usual firework show for that night, but we saw them the next night so it all worked out!
Happy 4th of July!!

OpenSuse vs. Debian
On the other hand, with OpenSuse, I'm having problems with applications and the ones I install don't show up on the menu.
So... Basically they both are the same now. I'm not quite sure which one is better for me, any suggestions? Right now, I'm running Debian on a Desktop PC, but the target computer is a Asus 10.1" Eee PC(a netbook, or subnoteboook), not yet sure which model. I'm gonna use it mainly for reading Ebooks and programming. In case it helps, I HATE when the computer does thing w/o my premission, thus I want it to do exactly what I tell it to(that's why C/C++ are the best for me), not less and not more. I'm also a very new Linux user and I have only used Windows before. If there is a distro that better suits my needs, let me know.
PS. I have already tried Linux Mint and Kubuntu too, bit I don't like them.

OK, just woke up this morning.
Thanks for all your help guys. The quizes at the 'Which distro?' are kinda weird... The first gives me 100% to a half, and 90% to what's left. The other one is'nt very specific. I noticed that both suggested OpenSuse, but I'm still not very sure about it. Debian is a stron stable OS(right?) and that's exactly what I was looking for in Linux. Now all I gotta do is to get used to it's difficult nature, and Linux's weird file system. Other than that, I'm fine.
And, by typing language I obviously mean a human language(LOL that reminds me of a programming language in hebrew I found at school...).
I'm gonna try to mess around with Debian for now, maybe I'll install Suse later.
I've just installed hebrew, gona re-login to see if it works.
It does. Thanks!

It did. In fact, I think I like Suse better...
The problem is that I have to download a ton of crap befoe I can even start it...
10-13-2010 #8
Microsoft installation automatically installs a lot of "crap" of which the user is unaware. Linux has a minimal installation for operation, and subsequent "crap" as the user makes additional choices. (You could not run Windows without a GUI, but you can in Linux).
I run Suse LXDE on an old laptop and Suse KDE on my desktop. However, a newbie may find Knoppix a rewarding first distro. The drawback for users migrating from years of Microsoft is really the "starting over" .
If you had s-l-o-w-l-y looked at your installation options, 90% of what you now want would have been installed. Don't dispair, your are building an environment custom-made for your needs.
I'll be glad to help w/any Suse questions.

Haha... Shalom!
@previso, yes I know Windows very well, but that 'crap' is needed for the system to run well. Maybe install isn't the right word, I mean download. It have to download a lot of data before I can log into the system, unlike Windows. I got used to the empty system you get after installation, and started to like it, as it gives a new meaning to a 'fresh system installation'...
For now, I'm gonna re-install Suse, and do it correctly this time.
PS. It's awesome that I try a new distro every 1-2 days, I always liked messing with new OSes.

There's a lot more to this job than changing light bulbs.
With almost 1.2 million square feet of building space to maintain -- not to mention parking decks and local landmarks -- the folks at Athens-Clarke County's Facilities Management Department have their work cut out for them each day.
Nineteen full-time workers -- currently supplemented by 11 county inmates and some contractors -- are responsible for cleaning, upgrading and making repairs to 104 buildings, from City Hall to the Athens-Clarke County Library. Downtown park benches, the historic double-barrel cannon outside City Hall and the downtown street clock on College Square also fall under the department's responsibility.
Though much of the crew's work is centered around preventative maintenance, the office fields between 50 to 75 calls each day for specific repairs, Director Robert Baird said. The biggest complaint? Offices that are too hot or too cold.
''As the seasons change, everyone is a little different about how they perceive heat and cold,'' Baird explained.
While the work day typically runs between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., employees and contractors are on call 24 hours a day to handle emergencies.
Dan Mayo, the department's plumbing specialist, said it's not uncommon for him to get late calls from the county Corrections Department when inmates flush blankets or jumpsuits down the toilet just to cause a commotion.
''It's a change of scenery for them; I guess they just want that change of scenery,'' Mayo said, shrugging.

Almost a dozen inmates from the correctional institution work with facilities management staff as they make their daily rounds, following a strict schedule that requires them to be checked back in the prison by 4 p.m. and constantly remain under the supervision of a county employee.
Still, mishaps do happen. Recently a local judge complained that a piece of pie left in his office had disappeared, Baird said, chuckling. It turned out the pie was eaten by an inmate doing work in the courthouse.
''These guys aren't locked up because they're the nicest guys,'' he said.
Baird credits the county commission and manager's office for funding a long-term maintenance plan that he believes cuts down on costs by preventing problems before they occur. The Life Cycle program, as it's known, allocates money each year to replace key facility components including roofs, heating and air conditioning equipment, paint and carpet.
More than $560,000 was allocated to the program this year, although a proposed cut to the capital budget would reduce the program to $500,000 next year.
Baird said the program's success can be judged by the decreased number of complaints about problems like leaky roofs.
''A few years ago, if we had a rain like we had (last week), we could expect our phones to be ringing constantly,'' Baird said. ''Now we get relatively few calls.''
Athens-Clarke County's Facilities Management Department is responsible for maintaining all county structures.
Space maintained: 1.2 million square feet, not including parking decks and county landmarks.
Staff: 19 full-time employees, augmented by a varying number of county inmates and contractors.
Calls per day: 50 to 75.
Assignments per year: About 3,000 corrective projects and 597 preventative maintenance assignments.

* Fidelity expenses surge on new investments
* Total net outflows decline to $5.3 billion
* Vanguard widens lead over Fidelity
By Tim McLaughlin
BOSTON, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Fidelity Investments on Friday said profit in its financial services business dropped 29 percent in 2012 as customers pulled $24.4 billion from the company's actively managed stock funds.
Fidelity's 2012 results also showed asset growth that severely lagged archrival Vanguard Group, the No.1 U.S. mutual fund company.
While Fidelity's assets under management rose 10 percent to $1.67 trillion, Vanguard's assets surged to $2 trillion, a 20 percent increase over 2011. Assets under management at BlackRock Inc, the world's largest money manager, rose 8 percent to nearly $3.8 trillion in 2012.
Vanguard and BlackRock have undercut Fidelity's market position with index and exchange-traded funds that are cheaper than Fidelity's stable of stock funds, such as Contrafund and Magellan. Customers continue to pull billions of dollars out of Fidelity stock funds, despite showing a steady improvement in performance in recent years.
Fidelity, however, said that in 2012 it splurged on new strategic investments, including build out of an exchange-traded fund business that is getting a late start against BlackRock's iShares division and Vanguard. Fidelity said operating expenses surged 9 percent to $10.3 billion in 2012.
Fidelity Chairman Edward C. Johnson III, whose family controls Fidelity, said in his annual letter that one of the advantages of private ownership is investing in the company even at the expense of current profits.
"This has served us well in the past, and I am confident it will continue to do so," Johnson said.
Last year, he promoted his daughter, Abigail Johnson, to be president of Fidelity Financial Services, putting her in charge of all of Fidelity's major lines of business for the first time. She is positioned to succeed her father as the head of a firm founded by her grandfather, Edward Johnson II. Forbes magazine has estimated her wealth at $10.3 billion.
Fidelity is still a profit machine, with 2012 operating income of $2.3 billion, compared with $3.3 billion in 2011. The results exclude diversified businesses and investments outside of Fidelity's core financial services operation. Fidelity's homebuilding supply business, ProBuild, has required large capital infusions in recent years to cover losses.
Fidelity said its financial services revenue fell 1 percent last year to $12.63 billion.
"Pricing pressures, extremely low interest rates, lower trading volumes and continued outflows from actively managed equity funds contributed to the revenue decline," Fidelity said in its annual report.
Investors and financial advisers favored low-priced, passively managed index funds in 2012, playing to Vanguard's historic strengths.
But across the mutual fund industry, active equity funds - Fidelity's historic bread-and-butter business - had $119 billion in outflows as investors continued to favor bonds as well as index and ETF products.
Outflows in Fidelity's own actively managed stock funds improved, but only slightly from the $26.9 billion in outflows recorded in 2011. Overall in 2012, net outflows of $5.3 billion improved over 2011's outflows of $36.3 billion at Fidelity.
The improvement reflects net flows of $17.3 billion into bond products and $14.8 billion into asset-allocation products, Fidelity said.
Meanwhile, Fidelity's own ETF business barely registers on the investment landscape, as BlackRock, State Street Corp and Vanguard solidify leading positions in the marketplace. Those three managers combined for about 84 percent of the U.S.-listed ETF market. BlackRock had $561 billion in ETF assets, followed by $319 billion at State Street and $246 billion at Vanguard.
In December, though, Fidelity filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to operate actively managed bond and stock ETFs.

The Importance
of Your Pig Chow
Once again we are receiving a great number of e-mail's about what veggies to give your pig(s). This veggie Vs, that veggie. So once again we thought it might be time to reiterate that these pigs are Omnivore not Herbivore. While vegetables and fruits make great treats they are not nutritionally sound for complete diet or even half a diet.
Vegetables and fruits do not contain the protein that your pig needs nor do they contain all the other things incorporated into a well-made pig chow that keeps your pig healthy.
Part of this idea of feeding veggies and fruits seems to be based on what we would like to think they eat on their own. Left to fend for themselves they would be eating worms, small animals and even dead animals along with the grass and seeds and nuts that they find.
In this manner they adjust their own protein needs with the roughage and fiber that they know is important to them.
Well, great news folks! That's why we have good pig chows? Many years of development, millions of dollars in research facilities, many years of testing have gone in to what it takes to keep a pig happy and healthy.
There is NO substitute for a well-made pig chow in your pigs diet. This is what the chow was developed for...as a complete diet for the pig!
Here at the Sanctuary when a pig is getting too heavy we cut back on his feed, but we NEVER completely cut out the pig chow. That pig chow is and should always be the foremost and most important part of the pigs diet.
We have over eighty pigs here now at the sanctuary and they have never had anything but a well balanced pig chow for their main diet. One would have to think that if veggies and fruits were necessary to keep them healthy that we wouldn't have half the herd that are now geriatric and very healthy in their old age. Some are fifteen and sixteen years old.
Another humorous thought is how long would it take us to cut up enough veggies and fruits to feed eighty pigs daily? We would have to start the day before and even if we felt like digging up a bunch of grub worms to throw in, it still wouldn't be a balanced diet like the pig chow.
While my opinion on using veggies as a food source is a negative thing there isn't any reason that it can't be used for a treat or when it's available and you want to give them a bite.
Our house pets may see veggies when we are cleaning them for us, but it is in moderation. What we are saying is that a pig that is on a well-balanced, well made pig chow can live it's whole life without ever having a veggie or fruit an still be a healthy happy animal. With that in mind it would stand to reason that the veggies and fruits should be considered as a treat and not as a food.
We receive lots of e-mail's on what veggies and fruits are good for pigs. Not that you are aware of how we feel about feeding veggies and fruits it will come as no surprise that as far as we can tell, it makes no difference.
Some veggies cause more gas than others like broccoli tends to do. You are the one that has to live in the house with your pig so if that doesn't concern you than no problem.
Personally we feel that too much gas is not good for the pig so we don't feed it at all. Cucumbers are another one that we stay away from for that reason.
There is much discussion over types of lettuce fed to the pigs. Who cares if one is deemed more nutritious than the other? If our pig is on a good complete pig chow than it really doesn't matter what type lettuce you give them in moderation as a treat.
It is our opinion that we can not second guess all the years of research and testing done by professionals and scientists that go into making a well balanced complete pig chow. They did the work and we reap the benefits. That's as it should be.

Dana Lixenberg awarded the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize
The Dutch photographer was awarded the £30,000 prize for her project Imperial Courts, which she worked on between 1993 and 2015, capturing the lives of the community of the Imperial Courts housing project in Watts, Los Angeles. Brett Rogers, director of the Photographers' Gallery, and non-voting president of the 2017 jury, has commented, saying that Lixenberg's work represents an "affirmation of photography's power to address important ideas through pure image."
Lixenberg follows in the footsteps of several of the most internationally renowned photographers, including Trevor Paglen (2016), Mikhael Subotzky (2015), Richard Mosse (2014) as well as Juergen Teller, (2003) and Andreas Gursky (1998).
Born in the Netherlands in 1964, Lixenberg travelled to Los Angeles for the first time in 1992 for a magazine story covering the LA riots. What she saw inspired her to revisit the area, and led her to encounter the people of the Imperial Courts housing project, whom she photographed over the course of twenty-two years, creating an evocative record of the lives of an underrepresented community. Over the years, Imperial Courts has gone from being the epicenter of race riots to an anonymous deprived neighbourhood," said Lixenberg and Eefje Blankevoort, who co-directed the documentary inspired by Lixenberg's photographic work. "The media attention has died down, but the lives of the residents go on."
Yannick Bouillis, founder of Offprint projects and responsible for awarding Lixenberg the 2015 Photobook of the year prize at Paris Photo, drew a comparison between Lixenberg's work and that of David Goldblatt, who documented the lives of South Africans during the apartheid.

Lixenberg's work "is simultaneously understated and emphatic, reflecting a cool sobriety, which allows her subjects to own the gaze and their contexts without sentimentality or grandiosity," said Brett Rogers.
The artist, who has collaborated with Newsweek,Vibe, New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker and Rolling Stone, was chosen from a shortlist including artists Sophie Calle, Awoiska van der Molen and Taiyo Onorato and Nico Kreb, by a jury composed of curator Susan Bright, artist Pieter Hugo, Centre Pompidou curator Karolina Lewandowska and Anne-Marie Beckmann, director of the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation.
The shortlisted projects are on show at the Photographers' Gallery until June 11, before travelling to the MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst (Frankfurt) and to the Aperture Foundation (New York).

Loading and saving data in a modal
← Examples
This example shows a popular usage when working with the list of data.
The scenario is described as following:
- The data are populated in a list. It's up to you to choose showing the list in a
ulor any tag.
- In each element presenting a data item, there is a button for editing the data
- When clicking the button, the data is loaded from the server and then populated in a form
- The form need to be validated and its data will be sent to server
- Loading and saving data are done by Ajax requests
You can use a modal plugin to show up the form. There are some choices for you when using the Bootstrap framework, such as Bootstrap's Modal or Bootbox.
Our example will use Bootbox because it allows to create programmatic dialog boxes easily.
When showing the form that consists of data loaded from server, you shouldn't use a string containing entire form markup:
Instead, prepare a form, populate the data and pass the form element:
By doing this, we can easily adjust the form markup as well as manage the DOM.
The example also triggers event to save the form data via an Ajax request:
To demonstrates loading and saving data via Ajax requests, the example uses jsonplaceholder, a fake REST API service

Quote:Self psychology is the opposite of my argument. What I mean is "don't think", just act. More or less all of our thinking is severely handicapped and limited since it all comes from our previous experiences. What I mean is that it is possible to live out our existence without being the driver of it (not an argument for laziness), we can just enjoy the ride and therefore take nothing seriously........
Quote:Cord your response is self contradictory.
Quote:No, it just came to me spontaneously.

text: That's right... $108! I went into the Toki section today because I have to walk through there to leave the mall where my bus stop is (I was on my way home from my college but I had to run to the bank in the mall), and I saw a L'Amore porta, but they had it priced at $108! It was 40% off, so with tax it was $72, but when I tried explaining to the SAs that it should be priced at $84 normally, one of them was nice about it, but the other was brushing me off, saying that it was a Toki so it has to be expensive, so I turned and showed off my pirata zucca and said that I know, lol. Then she was saying that its more expensive because its a summer piece, so I was like "wtf?", and when I asked if I brought in the page from LeSportsac's website with the new portas with the price on it, if she would adjust it for me, she said no, but the SA that was nice to me said yes! I wound up buying it anyway, totally on impulse which I should not have done (I need that money to pay for a new copy of my education textbook because mine came badly misprinted), and now I'm going to return it, but is there a way that I can get the price adjusted? It isn't right that they're selling it for that much when every other store is selling them (well the new prints) for $84.
