Vale is a Brazilian multinational diversified Metals & Mining corporation and one of the largest logistics operators in Brazil. In addition to being the third largest mining company in the world, the customer is also the largest producer of iron ore, pellets, and the second largest producer of nickel. In the electric energy sector, the corporation participates in consortia and currently operates nine hydroelectric plants.
Initially, the Hyla Soft team came to work with Vale as high-level product consultants on a large project to implement Siemens SIMATIC IT for MES across their production enterprise. New to the product, the customer turned to Siemens for support. Siemens partnered with Hyla Soft for the initiative, recognizing us as the solution partner with the strongest expertise and experience working with SIMATIC IT. The combined team was able to deliver both the product knowledge and industry know-how that the customer was seeking.
Hyla Soft consultants completed a comprehensive quality assessment, identified (many) points for improvement, and designed and provided the guidelines to improve the MES solution in order to fulfill Vale's specific needs. In addition, our presence in Brazil allowed us to provide continuous local support to the customer.
Eventually, Hyla Soft's expertise and project management capabilities led us to take on full governance of the company's MES solution. We supported and executed a successful pilot MES rollout in the first of the corporation's 50 Brazilian plants. A successful pilot led to deployment in 2 more plants shortly after. Our consultants provided full solution oversight and governance for the customer for many years, building a strong relationship with the customer's IT team and management that remains to today.
As is often the case, the benefits Hyla Soft provided to Vale were not a direct result of the product in scope alone. The real value we bring to our customers is our IT product and manufacturing industry expertise. Thanks to our depth of knowledge of the Siemens SIMATIC IT Suite as well as years of experience implementing it in the Mining & Metals sector, the customer chose us as the right system integrator for their MES implementation.
Hyla Soft and Siemens consultants worked together and were able to take their expertise and share it with the customer's team, helping them prepare the solution and ultimately reach the point at which the system was ready to go live successfully. The services provided to the customer by Hyla Soft during this project include:
The customer is one of the world's largest oilfield services companies. The company operates in over 90 countries, providing the Oil & Gas industry with products and services for drilling, formation evaluation, completion, production, and reservoir consulting. The customer has its headquarters in the American General Center in Neartown, Houston.
The customer produces many of the tools used for oilfield commissioning and extraction, such as drilling, evaluation, and safety equipment. With a wide variety of component families to produce, CNC machining is an essential piece of their manufacturing capabilities.
When Hyla Soft started working with the customer, they were already using Siemens Teamcenter to manage product design data in their PLM system. However, the customer wanted to improve the way in which they managed their manufacturing data, including CAM files and NC programs, which lacked a centralized location. The customer's engineers often found themselves losing too much time and effort trying to manage existing programs, as well as transferring new programs and program revisions to the machines.
As a result, the customer decided to start managing their CAM data – including set up sheets, cutting simulation movies, and NC programs – in Teamcenter, and also implementing Shop Floor Connect, the Siemens DNC solution, to transfer NC data directly from Teamcenter to their CNC machines.
After being chosen by the customer to lead the rollout of a DNC system at their flagship manufacturing center, Hyla Soft acted as the system integrator, delivering all phases of the project. In collaboration with the customer's engineering and manufacturing teams, our consultants helped define the new standards for managing NC programs with revision control and release statuses. These new standards were designed to meet the requirements of all project stakeholders, including corporate, PLM, and manufacturing groups.Hyla Soft consultants then configured the new DNC system according to the developed solution specifications. After validating the solution, Hyla Soft connected each CNC machine on the shop floor to the new DNC system now deployed on their production environment.At each stage of the process, Hyla Soft involved the customer's personnel who would be responsible for supporting the system after go-live. The support personnel accompanied Hyla Soft consultants in connecting CNC machines to the system, preparing them to take ownership of their new DNC network.The result for the customer was a more streamlined and standardized process for manufacturing data management. Instead of "tribal knowledge," NC programs are now fully organized and revision controlled. With effective DNC, machining has also become a much stronger capability for the customer.
In the end, Hyla Soft was the right choice to lead the customer in this project. The customer chose Hyla Soft for many reasons, amongst them our established CNC Machining & DNC Solutions practice comprised of a world class team of experts and consultants, our long-standing experience working within the Oil & Gas industry, as well as our company's niche and proven approach to leverage the Siemens Teamcenter PLM offering for both design data and manufacturing data management in order to drive and maximize business process improvement for our customers.
We are proud to have delivered a successful project implementation that not only fulfilled all of the customer's needs and requirements, but ultimately helped the customer achieve both their production and business goals. We look forward to more collaboration and initiatives with the company in the future.
Magneti Marelli is an international group and leader in the design and production of high-technology components for the automotive industry. With more than 38,000 employees, 89 production plants, 12 R&D centers and 26 application centers, the group is currently present in 19 countries and is a major supplier for some of the best-known car manufacturers in Europe, North and South America, and Asia. With a combined annual turnover exceeding 6 billion euros, the company's 3 main business lines include a Lighting Division, a Powertrain Control System Division, and an Electronics Division.
Initially, Hyla Soft started working with Magneti Marelli's Electronics Division through our long-standing partnership with Siemens. The solution in scope was a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) based on Siemens' SIMATIC IT Production Suite and Mechatronics Assembly Line (MAL) Library.
The particular production needs of the customer, combined with the specific demands of their clients, presented many challenges for the customer in terms of production. In accordance with the customer's requests, the MES solution proposed was designed to:
Following the deployment of SIMATIC IT for MES in all 3 of the customer's European electronics plants, the customer started looking for a system integrator to support and help maintain the MES solution as well as to ensure that the new system would satisfy all of their requirements. As the Siemens solution partner with one of the strongest backgrounds working with SIMATIC IT for MES, Hyla Soft was chosen by the customer as their system integrator for this initiative.
Hyla Soft consultants' initial work for Magneti Marelli involved providing full Maintenance & Support for the customer's existing MES solution in all 3 plants. As part of the solution governance agreement, our consultants are available and provide local support to the customer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In addition, Hyla Soft consultants configure the SIMATIC IT product so that it continuously provides all of the core functionalities necessary to both satisfy the customer's specific production requirements and better respond to their own customers' needs at the same time:
In the next couple of years, our scope of work for Magneti Marelli will expand beyond just solution maintenance. With the support of Hyla Soft, the customer has decided to extend the MES solution to encompass all of the production lines in all 3 electronics plants. There is also an exciting new opportunity for Hyla Soft in the customer's plant, which is exclusively dedicated to the production of electronics devices commissioned by some of their world-class automotive clients, including FIAT, Jeep, and BMW. Per the request of these big-name clients, the customer will be building additional production lines in the plant solely limited to the production of specific components for each automaker. Following their addition, Hyla Soft will be responsible for extending and implementing the MES solution to all newly-built production lines.
As always, however, our goal extends far beyond just this initiative. Hyla Soft aims to expand our work for the customer, grow the partnership, and create a long-term relationship. We foresee supporting new and different initiatives for the customer in the future, ranging from Supply Chain Management (SCM) to Production Scheduling to IT Training and beyond, and ultimately working with not only one but all three of the customer's manufacturing divisions. Our company's unique ability to offer end-to-end technology solutions to our clients makes us much more valuable than any other system integrator or consulting company in the world. Our ability to offer analysis, consulting, implementation as well as maintenance & support expertise and services from the shop floor to executive management levels and across all of our clients' manufacturing processes is the reason behind our success in helping our customers gain a competitive edge in their industry.
Baxter International is a leading American healthcare company that manufactures products to treat
hemophilia, kidney disease, immune disorders, and other chronic and acute medical conditions. With
an annual revenue that exceeds $15 billion, the company is a leader in both the bioscience and
medical product industries.
Hyla Soft started working with the U.S. branch of Baxter during the company's initiative to implement an enterprise-level Electronic Batch Records (EBR) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) solution across their entire production division. The customer's new EBR/MES system was based on SIMATIC IT XFP, a Siemens MES platform designed specifically for Life Science Manufacturing in order to improve efficiency, quality, and visibility within the challenging industry's production processes.
After a successful MES implementation in Europe, the customer decided to extend the new system to cover multiple product lines at several new greenfield and existing facilities in the United States. The scope of the system covered the customer's entire manufacturing process, providing full EBR, weighing and dispensing management, materials management, equipment management, sample management, and full integration with several external systems such as ERP, LIMS, DMS, etc.
As Siemens' preferred integration partner and thanks to our leading MES practice with the top functional experts on SIMATIC IT XFP, not to mention our capability to provide the best resources and local support on a global scale, Hyla Soft was chosen as the official system integrator for the customer's North American initiative.
Services provided to Baxter by the Hyla Soft team during the multi-site, multi-year program include:
Per the commitment we make to all of our customers, the Hyla Soft consulting and management teams built a strong and open relationship with the customer in order to ensure that our work and solution fulfilled all of the company's needs and expectations from day 1 until the completion of the project. Hyla Soft provided a combination of on-site technical experts, remote development teams, and just-in-time technical and functional support to partner with and augment the client's existing staff and to help ensure the success of the EBR/MES rollout.
By leveraging our diverse pool of talented consultants, Hyla Soft was able to provide both the technical resources and leadership required to successfully implement and deploy the customer's new MES solution.
Both our partnership and scope of work with Baxter continues to grow and strengthen. In addition to the many business benefits the customer has gained from the new EBR/MES system now live at their production sites, Hyla Soft's consulting offering played a key role in the success of this initiative.
We were able to deliver superior product knowledge and experience as well as the best resources available in the industry today. Hyla Soft provided the services necessary to help the customer realize the product's potential for their specific production and business requirements. In short, Hyla Soft partnered with the client to provide the right resources with the right expertise in the right locations at the right time.
The customer is a leading U.S. developer and manufacturer of compressed air solutions. A pioneer in air compressor technology, the company offers a complete line of compressed air system products including portable and stationary compressors and accompanying aftermarket equipment. With manufacturing facilities on three continents and a worldwide distribution network, the customer has established itself as a global leader in the industry.
Hyla Soft completed the analysis phase of a comprehensive Siemens Teamcenter Manufacturing implementation for the customer. In our first engagement with the customer, a manufacturer of Heavy Machinery, Hyla Soft consultants designed and developed a complete solution to help the customer realize the following business benefits:
Ultimately, the aim of the solution is to unite both the customer's manufacturing data and their engineering data into the same system, as a result driving improvements within not only their manufacturing engineering group, but across their design engineering, quality, operations, service, supply chain, and inventory groups as well, not to mention on the shop floor itself.
Hyla Soft's approach to requirements gathering is to get our customer hands-on with the software from day 1. Throughout our analysis for the customer, Hyla Soft and the customer's end users worked directly with the Teamcenter Manufacturing products in order to gather business requirements, user requirements, and functional requirements of the final solution. This approach enhanced the requirements gathering process by allowing project stakeholders to understand the future system in the context of their business and manufacturing processes.
The result of our analysis for the customer was a complete system design for the customer, which will include:
The new system design also encompasses the CNC machining division, which will receive cutting-edge parts manufacturing solutions from Siemens, including NX-CAM and Shop Floor Connect for Teamcenter.
Proud to have one of the most extensive backgrounds working with the Siemens IT offering, Hyla Soft is the only company in the world partnered with 3 of the software giant's divisions. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is undoubtedly one of our strongest areas of experience and expertise. While most companies see Teamcenter as a tool to manage engineering data alone, Hyla Soft focuses on Teamcenter to bridge the gap between engineering and production as it relates to manufacturing.
Thanks to our continuous investment in expanding how we leverage the Siemens Teamcenter offering for our customers and the manufacturing industry, our consultants' unmatched knowledge of and experience working with the product firsthand, and our practice's end-to-end expertise and capabilities, the result of this initiative for the customer will be a complete solution for unparalleled manufacturing data management, from top floor to shop floor.
Hyla Soft's Training Division is working with Coca Cola Corporation, one of the largest bottled beverage companies in the world. With an annual revenue exceeding $45 billion, the customer is an international powerhouse in the manufacturing, retail and marketing of nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups.
Hyla Soft has closed a successful year-long project working with Coca Cola, delivering the software training and go-live system support necessary for the customer's Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Quality Control hardware and software solution deployment. The scope of the enterprise IT rollout included all 79 of the customer's U.S. production plants. As a result, the customer needed a system integrator with not only technical and product expertise, but an in-depth understanding of the Food & Beverage manufacturing environment and the capability to provide the best IT training and experienced resources as well. Thanks to our industry footprint and proven, pro-active training methodology, the customer chose Hyla Soft as the right partner to lead the company (and its workforce) to a successful launch of the new quality control system.
The ongoing implementation of the new system, coupled with the training and support provided by Hyla Soft consultants, has already proved to be beneficial for Coca Cola. The deployment has helped production sites where the system is live:
Hyla Soft's real value added to the customer's IT initiative, however, stems from our dynamic, hands-on, one-on-one training approach. Hyla Soft consultants work with management at each bottling facility to develop a site-specific training plan and schedule in order to ensure 100% training coverage. Each production operator identified in the site plan is then trained individually based on his or her specific role. Training is completed in a hands-on environment in order to help the operators better understand the new system requirements, as well as to help them retain all the information they need to successfully transition to the software platform. With the support of site-specific work aids as well as with the added capability to provide training in both English and Spanish, Hyla Soft consultants make the transition easier and more effective for both the plant's operators and managers. More importantly, by replicating this training approach at each manufacturing site, Hyla Soft helps ensure a standard training solution that is identical across the entire scope of the rollout.
With all previous responsibilities intact, Hyla Soft has expanded our scope of work for Coca Cola moving forward, branching out to integrate newer and more pieces of equipment and software from each plant, extending the initiative to include different customer manufacturing sites outside of the United States, and providing both local and remote support for the new system. Regardless of where this project may take us in the future, the unmatched level of education, diversity, experience, and skills that our consultants can offer the customer ensures our ability to jump into any arena the customer may require of us without hesitation and with confidence that we can deliver. As our consultants continue to expand their expertise for this customer, our team expects this initiative to become an ongoing program and lasting partnership for years to come.
Hyla Soft is working with Zimmer, a worldwide leader in musculoskeletal healthcare. The company is specialized in the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of orthopaedic and muscoskeletal healthcare products, such as knee and hip replacements. The customer has operations in more than 25 countries around the world and sells products in more than 100 countries.
In the field of medical manufacturing, software innovation encounters uniquely challenging obstacles. Not the least of these are regulatory compliance requirements. Each step of a solution rollout must be rigorously planned, carefully executed, and painstakingly validated. Given the effort required to implement even a single suite of enterprise software in this environment, it is no wonder that the industry has been slower to pursue multi-tiered integration initiatives. Such projects require a mindful analysis of interoperability options between a diverse array of hardware and software as well as an experienced eye to identify potential gaps and redundancies as data flows between systems. For these reasons, it is critical that medical manufacturing enterprises carefully choose an integration partner with the particular skills hnkand experience required for a successful and cost-effective rollout.
Zimmer is also subjected to these industry challenges, which include strict government regulations and requirements for top quality products. To meet these demands, the customer needed a software solution to help monitor and control their manufacturing processes. Statistical Process Control, commonly known as SPC, is an industry standard methodology for measuring and controlling quality during the manufacturing process. Our partner and a leader in quality software solutions provides a tool for manufacturers to implement SPC. One of the customer's sites had implemented this SPC solution; the company needed support moving forward to roll this out across all of their sites globally. The customer turned to Hyla Soft to help with these needs.
The initial phase of our consultants' work involved an in-depth analysis of Zimmer's existing production environment and processes in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of their specific needs and requirements. Based on this analysis, Hyla Soft worked with the customer's IT team to define the solution design standards for a global implementation of the SPC solution.
Hyla Soft consultants also support the go-live and validation of the system at each of the customer's production sites. During each deployment, a team of trainers from Hyla Soft is onsite in order to provide hands-on demonstrations and guidance to ensure that the customer's operators have a smooth transition to the new environment. At the same time, our software validation team ensures compliance with the rigorous government standards for the industry.
Hyla Soft is proud to have been selected as the partner for such an integration at one of the world's leading medical device manufacturers. Our consultants are confidently leading a global effort to standardize the entire corporation on the new platform. By the completion of this project, the customer will have a validated SPC system implemented globally to ensure the highest degree of quality for their healthcare products. Through our industry experience and professionalism, Hyla Soft is excited to contribute toward an initiative that will add enormous value to our Zimmer's manufacturing enterprise for years to come.

Recently I posted an article titled 7 Foods Even Food Safety Experts Won't Eat. Item #1 is canned tomatoes. The linings of cans contain Bisphenol-A (BPA) which has received a lot of attention in recent years. It sparked a discussion on the Facebook page about which tomato cans were now BPA-free. Tomatoes are especially concerning because the acidic nature of the tomatoes can increase the likelihood of toxins leaching from the can.
There was some confusion about Trader Joe's, so I emailed the company. Here is their response to me on Feb. 19, 2013:
While I am glad they are making strides to rid BPA from their cans, I wonder what it is being replaced with. Some replacements may not be any safer than BPA. And Consumer Reports recommends choosing fresh over canned when possible after finding BPA in many canned products.
Ideally, I avoid canned foods when possible, like cooking my own beans. Tomatoes are difficult. I want to can or freeze my own, but we'll see how that goes this summer. I have heard the Eden has tomatoes in amber glass jars, but I haven't found them around here yet. Anyone know where they can be purchased?
Do you avoid BPA where you can? If so, how?

|Joel Salatin, Polyface Farms
credit: Polyface Farms
The movie Fresh, produced in 2009 by Ana Sofia Joannes, focuses on the troubles with conventional farming. By discussing what people around the country are doing to combat the negative effects of big agriculture, the film does a great job of explaining the problems and giving solutions.
The film shows Virginia farmer Joel Salatin who raises cattle, pigs and chickens using natural methods – mimicking nature and therefore not needing antibiotics for disease or having other issues coming about when too many of one thing are in the same place. One of the main points for me was that nature has this sustainability thing figured out already. We humans are messing with it and we aren't seeing that connection. By confining one species to one small location (as what happens in conventional meat production) we introduce many diseases and problems not seen in nature. Now you have to combat those issues (giving antibiotics to keep livestock healthy) which introduces other issues. The cycle goes on and on.
I have heard these figures before but they really sunk in this time. 70% of the corn produced goes to feed cattle, which by the way are not designed to eat corn. They are herbivores and should be eating grass. 70%!! Think of all the people that could be fed with that amount of land.
The other point I found most interesting and contrary to what is normally heard is the profitability of Joel Salatin's farms. He stated that his farm can yield $3000 per acre while his conventional farming neighbors makes closer to $165 per acre.
The film balances these points by interviewing other farmers who feel like they have been forced into growing corn or soybeans to survive. It opened my eyes to the struggles the small farmer faces.
The more I learn, the more I think vegetarians and vegans are on to something. Meat eating seems to be the root of so many problems – health, environmental, even financial to some extent.
Have you seen Fresh? What did you think?
Please leave you comments or if you are a blogger feel free to link up a post.
If you'd like to join the Friday Film Fest, take a look at the complete list of films.
Up next week is Plastic Planet.
Celery – I have seen organic for not much more. You could just leave it out of your recipe, or substitute chopped cabbage, cucumbers or water chestnuts for the crunch and celery seed/salt for the flavor. If you do buy organic celery and won't use it all, try freezing it. I have chopped celery, frozen it and used it in soups with much success.
Friday night is movie night at our house, complete with popcorn. When I started going green I stumbled across some information on microwave popcorn that I did not like.
According to an article on Care 2 – Dangers of Microwave Popcorn, microwave popcorn contains diacetyl in the fake butter flavoring. While the real concern for exposure to diacetyl seems to be concentrated on people who work in popcorn factories, there isn't any proof that we as consumers of microwave popcorn are not being exposed as well. Diacetyl can cause a condition called popcorn lung.
Another concern with microwave popcorn is with the coating used on the bags. The FDA indicates that this chemical coating breaks down into a substance called perfluorooctanoic (PFOA). Nasty stuff according the EPA which identifiues PFOA as a "likely carcinogen". Not what I had in mind when we started Family Movie night!
So, the solution, pop your own. At first I thought, "OK this will take a little more time, but I am NOT going to be feeding that stuff to my kids." Well, it is soooo easy, tastes way better and is cheaper! Who doesn't like that?
My Method:
Paper bag
¼ cup popcorn kernels
seasoning of your choice
Place the popcorn into a sandwich sized paper bag.
Fold the top over twice.
Place in microwave sitting upright.
Cook on High for 2 – 4 minutes. I found that it takes this method the same 2 minutes in my microwave that the store bought packages did.
Done! Add real butter, salt, whatever you like.
The first time I made this, my kids LOVED it better than the microwave kind. The best part, I have found that Whole Foods sells organic popcorn, in bulk for $1.39 per lb.! That is the best price I have found anywhere. It is comparable in price to non-organic popcorn at Market Basket! The total cost for this homemade version is 25 cents. The equivalent microwave bag of popcorn, purchased at BJ's, would cost 34 cents. Cheaper, better for you, and easy! Win, win and win!
Yes you are using a paper bag, but the health concerns outweigh that small amount of paper in my book. You can save the bag and use it a few times to cut down on the bags. After a while the steam causes holes in the bag. But you can recycle the bag at that point.
There are microwave poppers available. Most I found were plastic – not a big fan of putting plastic in the microwave so those were out. Of course there is the stove top method or using a hot air popper which would reduce the need for a paper bag.
Can't wait for movie night now!

Selling any domain name is not an easy task. Not too many people have great keyworded domains that many people want. Everyone who owns domain names wants to sell them for profit, which is not easy to accomplish. So what's the best way to sell your domains? Market them properly and heavily
I have been buying CO domains since landrush last year and am pretty happy with the results thus far. I have sold a few co domains, am keeping most of them and am currently trying to add LLL and NNN CO domains to my portfolio. When it comes to sellin any domain name it is all about proper marketing. Occassionally you might get someone to land on your parked page by manually typing in your domain – which can lead to a sale, however that is not always the case. You have a much greatr chance of selling a domain that thousands of people see verse waiting for one person to manually find your domain.
I am directing this post towards CO Domains but this mentality can be used for all extensions. the CO domain industry has had a tremendous boost from all the publicity and millions of dollars spent on advertising. Many big dogs also jumped on CO domains which helps add to the success.
Since I own many CO domains, I always look for different ways to offer some for sale. Over the past few months I have been reading about 4.CN. It is mainly geared towards chinese domains, but there have been a few decent CO domain sales. 688.CO sold for about $400 USD, 818.CO $350 USD, and 987.CO $340 USD. 4.CN does seem to be a good place to sell NNN.CO domains, but I decided to give it a shot with my LLL.CO and keyworded domains.
Adding domains to 4.CN is extremely fast and easy. Another benefit is that you DONT have to change your DNS setting to sell on 4. You are given an option to verify the domain by using your registered email – which is a huge plus! I literally just added my domains less than 24hours ago and I already have views to my for sale page and have an offer on one my CO domains. If you are looking for another way to sell your domains, I strongly suggest checking out 4.
Sell CO Domains
This is the exact method I use to market my CO domains.
- 1. List the domain with Sedo
2. List the Domain at Godaddy Auctions
3. List on 4.CN
4. Advertise on Craigslist
5. Place a link to my domains in my signature on forums
So there you have it, if you are looking to sell domains, make sure to market them correctly. Also list them in as many FREE places as pobbile that dont require you to change nameservers. Good Luck

· We are here giving new impetus and building a new stage in the relationship between Argentina and Mexico, to achieve greater development and social justice, and expand opportunities for the fulfillment of both peoples, he said.
· This can be achieved by taking advantage of the windows of opportunity provided by the global era, which we are working on to strengthen our democracies and be faithful defenders of human freedoms and human rights and combat the criminal organizations that cause so much damage to the coexistence in our societies, he said.
There is a political will by both governments to enrich, expand and further strengthen relations between Argentina and Mexico and Mexico and Argentina, he said.
· Argentina has embarked on a stage of change and dialogue with the world in which we hope Mexico will have a prominent place: Mauricio Macri.
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said today that his state visit to Argentina, and the cooperation agreements achieved between the two nations within this framework have made it possible to relaunch bilateral relations.
"We are here today giving new impetus and building a new stage in relations between Argentina and Mexico", he said.
After meeting at the Casa Rosada, the official residence of the Argentine president, Presidents Peña Nieto and Mauricio Macri issued a press statement, which the Mexican president said that Argentina and Mexico have a relationship that both governments wish to imbue with greater understanding and accompaniment by having a shared vision of the path our societies and our countries should take to achieve greater development and social justice, and expand the opportunities for fulfillment.
· This can be achieved by taking advantage of the windows of opportunity provided by the global era, which we are working on to strengthen our democracies and be faithful defenders of human freedoms and human rights and combat the criminal organizations that cause so much damage to the coexistence in our societies".
He said that, "This is a vision shared by the governments of Argentina and Mexico today". During this state visit, he added, "We must leverage this opportunity to relaunch the relationship, on the basis of the path we are now tracing, through the signing of various agreements on different issues".
The Mexican president said that, "Since Argentina and Mexico are two of the leading economies in the Latin American region, we have a shared vision of the path we should take to continue building opportunities for development, justice and growth for our societies".
"We have a shared vision. Both governments have the political will to enrich, expand and further strengthen relations between Argentina and Mexico and Mexico and Argentina":
The Mexican president highlighted President Macri's leadership and vision of change and transformation.
He said: "We know that every attempt to achieve transformation and positive change for our societies encounters resistance. It involves costs, but these are positive since they provide our societies with opportunities for further development".
President Peña Nieto said that Mexico and Argentina are two of the leading economies in Latin America; they both belong to the G20, the group of 20 countries with the world's most developed economies, and today, fortunately, the two countries, "Have found a shared vision of the direction we must take to achieve conditions of greater development for our societies".
Before the press statement, the two leaders witnessed the signing of six of the 17 cooperation agreements reached within the framework of this state visit. President Peña Nieto stressed the review and expansion of the Economic Complementarity Agreement (ACE6) the two countries established 29 years ago, which "has not been touched or altered" since then.
He also highlighted the agreement to promote greater tourism between the two countries. "I am pleased to report that in the past year, the number of tourists from Argentina to Mexico has grown significantly: by 40 percent, meaning that 300,000 Argentine tourists have been in our country":
The Mexican president announced that he has invited President Macri to visit Mexico and that the Argentine president promised to visit next year.
For his part, President Mauricio Macri said that the Mexican president's state visit, "Reflects the importance and enthusiasm of the Mexican people to establish closer relations with the Argentine people, which is obviously mutual".
He explained that this is an important moment for Argentina, since it has, "Embarked on a stage of change and dialogue with the world in which we hope Mexico will have a prominent place".
He explained that this process of change in Argentina has very clear objectives: "We want to work in an Argentina that is advancing towards zero poverty; an Argentina that is ready to combat and defeat drug trafficking, and in a united Argentina that is increasingly strengthening its institutional system, to achieve respect among all Argentines and respect for the world".
"Since we know that we share these goals, this visit has come at the best possible time," he said.
He said the agreements reached between the two countries are the starting point for relaunching relations between Mexico and Argentina.
"In this new stage we have undertaken in our country, as Mexico has been doing for a long time, we wish to work jointly with the world and we really want to be part of the challenges of the 21st Century", he added.
President Macri thanked Mexico for supporting Argentina's bid to host the G-20 in 2018, and to be admitted as a member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Prior to the press statement, the leaders exchanged awards. President Macri presented President Peña Nieto with the Order of the Liberator San Martín, while the Mexican president gave his Argentine counterpart the Mexican Order of the Aztec Eagle.
After the press statement, the two leaders, accompanied by their wives, Angélica Rivera de Peña and Juliana Awada, visited the hall where the "Plastic Exercise" mural by Mexican artist David Alfaro Siqueiros is displayed in the Bicentennial Museum and attended the luncheon in honor of the Mexican President and Mrs. Rivera de Peña.
There, President Peña Nieto said that Mexico and Argentina, "Are two countries that have historically been identified".
He said that the bonds of identity, friendship and relations between the two countries are very close. "A Mexican who comes here, or an Argentine who visits Mexico, would, I'm sure, feel at home; it would be an expansion and extension of their own home".
He said that this state visit, "Represents a step in the construction of a new stage in relations between Argentina and Mexico and between Mexico and Argentina".
At the same time, President Macri said: "We take this visit as a clear gesture of the vocation, interest and affection of the Mexican people in our country".
He expressed hope that the agreements reached within the framework of this state visit, "Will only be the starting point of a Strategic Agreement signed more than a decade ago that was frozen".
"It is up to us to thaw it," he added.
In the morning, President Peña Nieto laid a wreath at the monument to the Liberator José de San Martin in the square that bears his name, and received the Keys to the City of Buenos Aires and a diploma accrediting him as a Distinguished Guest.

Adjective Order
Adjective order has become a meme recently, and I finally found a good enough example to share the idea with you. Native speakers of English tend to put multiple adjectives in a certain order without realizing that they're following a pattern. Here's the rule: When you apply more than one adjective to a noun, they should go in order according to these categories. I've seen several versions of this; this one is based on a couple lists I happened to google a few minutes ago:
Article, Quantity, Value/opinion, Size, Physical Quality, Temperature, Age, Shape, Color, Origin, Material, Type, Purpose
Most of them (that I've seen) don't include quantity (I added it myself to the list I have on my wall) and none I've seen include the article (a, an, the) as the first item. This order is not ironclad, especially if you want to emphasize one of the adjectives.
Now for a test. Brooke McEldowney is one of the most erudite comic strip writer-artists that I know of, and though I generally avoid politics on this site, this Pibgorn comic is too good an example of multiple adjectives to pass up. The nouns I'm interested in are buss, war, gears, osculations, and interlocutor.
The test is to look at the adjectives that precede these nouns and determine whether he follows the order in the list or not. Have fun!

A fine point of grammar in a comic
I have posted selections from the works of Brooke McEldowney before, and I probably will in the future. The fellow is a master of the English language, music, drawing, and complicated plots. This time he touches upon interactions with editors and how to use "awhile" and "a while" correctly; inadvertently giving me an easy post, for which I thank him by encouraging all of you to check out his comics, 9 Chickweed Lane and Pibgorn. They are really quite good.
As you like
(My apologies to Shakespeare for the title of this post; at least it's grammatical.) I had planned another serious lesson for today, but this comic popped up. It mentions a grammatical issue I've been wanting to mention for a long time, correct use of "like" and "as."
It's not hard, really. We use both words for comparisons. Remember that "like" is a preposition, so it goes with nouns and pronouns. The trick is that with "as," which is an adverb, we often leave out the verb, and all you see is a nearby noun. Perhaps you remember the book Black Like Me. The grammar of the title is correct. If you wanted "as" in that phrase, you'd have to say "Black as I." Where's the verb? It's implied. You're really saying "Black as I am."
So maybe this is part of The Hard Part of Writing—you have to think about what you're writing. Are you comparing a noun or a verb? Test by seeing if you can insert a verb into your sentence.
All that to get to the comic:
Regular readers of this site might recall that I am a fan of Brooke McEldowney, who writes and draws two erudite comics. The one above is 9 Chickweed Lane, and the other is Pibgorn. I recommend them both.
Hundredth Post
We interrupt the scintillating discussion of grammatical case to celebrate writing on the hundredth post of this humble site. This post contains a sample of some marvelous writing.
Brooke McEldowney studied viola at the Julliard. He is also a cartoonist par excellence. He writes two strips, 9 Chickweed Lane, about a ballerina and her family and others, and Pibgorn, about a fairy and some other natural and non-natural people. Those descriptions do not begin to do justice to the long, complex, original, erudite, and enjoyable plot lines you will find in each comic, nor the interesting personalities he has created. I recommend you read them. Both are available on GoComics.
I'm not showing a picture in this post because I want you to go read the comic. The sample of writing below is part of what appears below the panel several days into a recently-begun story in Pibgorn titled Mozart and the Demon Lover. (The link goes to the first panel in the story.)
… Glancing one recent day at an online reference site that purports to be encyclopedic, I looked at this very cartoon on its Pibgorn entry. Originally, when the cartoon appeared on that page, the attached caption stated that it was a moment at the beginning of a Pibgorn story, showing the three principal characters. However, my recent fly-by screeched to a halt because the caption had changed. It now stated that they were discussing "the sexualization of music" (whatever that means).
I wrote to someone at the site in order to inform them that the caption was balderdash. A response arrived in due course, dispensing the effluvia that I cannot be a reliable source of information about my own writing because I am too close to it, have too much of a vested interest in it.
I informed the writer that the entire thrust of the first three panels derived from a New York Times music review in the 1980s by Harold Schonberg, in which he asserted that simply performing Mozart was not an adequate practice; that performers had to "sell" Mozart. When I wrote the dialogue to this cartoon, I was reflecting on Mr. Schonberg's review. At no point during the composition of the panel, or since, have I ever entertained the mystifying codswallop that one can sexualize music (without the assistance of Gypsy Rose Lee, I mean).
The idea that the creator/writer/limner cannot be a reliable source of information on his own work because he is too close to it – that only tertiary sources of canards and crackpottery can be regarded as reliable – proceeds from an arrogance that beggars description. It could kindly be dismissed as moonshine, except that, whence it issues, the moon don't shine.
Marvelous! Wonderful vocabulary. (Look up the words you don't know.) Perfect grammar. Syntax at once clean and complex. This is the highest of high dudgeon. I love it.

Ah! You've got your "Coloring on the wall" Mommy merit badge! I have mine too!
just a little color added to your walls.
~Kimberlee, http://www.TheSpunkyDiva.com
Oh dear!
haha…Luckily Anthony wasn't too bad about that. However he did glue pics on the wall. lol
Could be worse…when I was a little older than M, I decided to write my name on a piece of wood trim in our kitchen. I was very proud of the fact that I had just learned to write my name and wanted to show it off. Fun fact: when writing on wood with a ballpoint pen, you really have to dig in to the wood to get it to show up. I got to the 'r' in my name before I got caught.

Energy was the new name given Fordville in 1913, as a compliment to Herbert H. Taylor's trade name for his coal. Mr. Taylor began business in 1909, with Taylor 1 and 2 shafts near the town. Energy was the trade name he used from the first in distinguishing his coal on the market. to ship energy coal from the town of Energy added an emphasis, and the town's name was changed.
Herbert H. Taylor (1876-1837) was raised in Emporia, Kansas and attended college there. He came to the mid-west looking for a job, and began working at Coal City, Illinois. At twenty, he was selling coal, and through all his success as an operator he described himself as a coal salesman.
Taylor 1 was the shaft in section 32, northeast of Energy. Taylor 2 was northwest of town, in section 31, on Ben and Charles Pope's land. Both mines were sunk in 1902 by the Carterville mining Company, and were operated by Mr. Taylor after the fall of 1909. Taylor 2 was in continuous operation until the washer burned in the winter of 1923. Patrick H. Carroll was mine superintendent at the time Fordville became Energy.
The Hemlock or Walnut Ridge Mine on Thomas Stotlar's land in section 30 became Taylor 3 when Mr. Taylor took over mines 3, 4, and 5 of the Southern Illinois coal Mines. Number 4, or Oak Ridge Mine, was discontinued, but Possum Ridge Mine was operated as Taylor 5.
James A. Kilbreth was postmaster at the time the office name was changed from Fordville to Energy on April 2, 1913. Mr. Kilbreth was chief clerk for the Taylor Coal Company and served on the school board as his brother did at Clifford.
Rank W. Barnes became postmaster June 9, 1919; then Samuel Ritchey, September 19, 1921. Miss Julia T. Madden was next, from February 13, 1923 until October 24, 1924 when Marvin Bowen took over.

Rising jockey James McDonald is counting down the days until he gets a chance to reunite with equine superstar It's A Dundeel in the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday.
McDonald partnered It's A Dundeel to win the three-year-old Triple Crown during the 2013 Autumn Racing Carnival but missed out on riding the four-time Group 1 winner when he stepped up to weight-for-age level in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) due to a suspension for careless riding.
It's A Dundeel will begin a Cox Plate (2040m) campaign in the star-studded Memsie Stakes on Saturday and McDonald told Racing Ahead that he has been happy with the son of High Chaparral since he returned from the spelling paddock and believes he has come back a much more mature horse.
"He is going really well, I can see a massive difference," McDonald said on RSN.
"He was a very fine three-year-old and he probably only coped with four runs in a prep.
"I think that he has come back a lot more mature and he has grown a little bit.
"Let's hope that he can make that progressive step from three-year-old to four-year-old.
"I don't think weight-for-age will worry him this time around and he has a good campaign ahead of him."
McDonald is based in Sydney but is set to spend the majority of his time in Melbourne this spring partnering It's A Dundeel and classy Kiwi colt Cauthen.
The young jockey will return to Melbourne to partner It's A Dundeel in the Underwood Stakes (1800m) at Caulfield on September 21, the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes (2000m) on October 12 and the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley on October 26, as well as ride Cauthen in the Caulfield Guineas (1600m) on October 12, but McDonald said he has no plans to relocate to Melbourne.
"At the moment I will float back and forwards," he said.
"It's a bit unfortunate that It's A Dundeel and Cauthen don't race on the same day at any stage, so there are a few trips down to Melbourne but I am happy to make it on those two horses."


text: Reversible Blindness: Simple Partial Seizures Presenting as Ictal and Postictal HemianopsiaGhosh, Pritha MD; Motamedi, Gholam MD; Osborne, Benjamin MD; Mora, Carlos A MDJournal of Neuro-Ophthalmology: September 2010 - Volume 30 - Issue 3 - p 272-275 doi: 10.1097/WNO.0b013e3181e05340 Clinical Observations Abstract Author Information Article Outline A 34-year-old woman developed a sustained right homonymous hemianopia and episodic visual hallucinations 8 days after liver transplant surgery. Neuro-ophthalmologic examination and perimetry confirmed a right homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing. The patient's vital signs and laboratory values, including a comprehensive metabolic panel and drug levels, were unremarkable. Brain MRI with and without contrast was also unremarkable. A video electroencephalogram revealed frequent, recurrent, left occipitoparietotemporal simple partial seizures associated with episodes of eyelid fluttering, right gaze preference, visual hallucinations, and a dense right hemianopia that persisted interictally. After treatment of the seizures with levetiracetam, perimetry showed resolution of the right homonymous hemianopia. This case demonstrates many classic features of occipital and parietal seizures. It also suggests that, unlike previously reported cases of enduring visual field deficits after cessation of seizures, early diagnosis and management of visual seizures may prevent permanent visual field deficits.

Address correspondence to Pritha Ghosh, MD, Department of Neurology, Georgetown University Hospital, PHC building, 7th floor, 3800 Reservoir Road, NW, Washington DC 20007; E-mail: email@example.com. Abstract CASE REPORT DISCUSSION REFERENCES Parietal and occipital seizures have long been considered rare. In part, the rarity may be due to the diagnostic challenge they present. Parietal and occipital seizures have variable clinical presentations with combinations of positive and negative somatosensory and visual symptoms that may be mistaken for migraine or ischemic events (1-4). In some cases, patients with occipitoparietal epilepsy may develop an ictal or postictal amaurosis or hemianopic visual field defects. The underlying etiology for these seizures in adult populations may be due to a vascular lesion, neoplasm, demyelination, trauma, anoxia, or posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. We present a case of new-onset occipitoparietotemporal seizures leading to a reversible homonymous hemianopia in which no underlying cause was found. Back to Top | Article Outline CASE REPORT A 34-year-old woman with a history of ulcerative colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis was admitted for elective liver transplantation. On hospital day 2, the patient had surgery without any complications. Postoperatively she was started on mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, and prednisone for immunosuppression. On postoperative day (POD) 8, the patient complained of spells of changes in her vision. The spells began with a sensation of vertigo, followed by spots of light or "sparkles" on the right side of her binocular peripheral vision. She was then overcome by a cold chill followed by a hot flash. The entire episode would last for less than 2 minutes and would occur between 5 and 20 times per day. Over the next 3 days, she began experiencing complex visual hallucinations. In addition to phosphenes, she would see false images of nurses walking along her right side as if they were coming to fix her intravenous line. There was no auditory component to these hallucinations, and the patient was aware that these images were not real. On POD 13, she reported decreased peripheral vision on her right side and an intermittent, throbbing, left temporal headache. Her neuro-ophthalmologic examination revealed visual acuities near 20/20 bilaterally with normal pupillary responses, full extraocular movements, and unremarkable funduscopic exam. Automated perimetry demonstrated a right homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing (Fig. 1A). The remainder of her physical exam was unremarkable. FIG. 1 The etiology for the patient's hemianopia was unclear. She had no personal or family history of seizures. Vital signs, serum electrolytes, and liver function tests were normal, and tacrolimus levels were within therapeutic range. Brain MRI with and without contrast was unremarkable. Despite the lack of radiological or serological evidence suggesting tacrolimus neurotoxicity, the patient's tacrolimus was discontinued and replaced with cyclosporine on POD 15. There was no immediate improvement in her symptoms following this change of medication. Video electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring on POD 15 revealed 22 events within a 24-hour period. These consisted of simple partial seizures originating in the left occipitoparietotemporal head regions with maximal surface negative discharges recorded from the occipital electrodes. The ictal activity rapidly spread to the immediate parietal and temporal leads but remained confined to electrodes P3-O1 and T5-O1 with no secondary generalization. Clinically, the patient had a right gaze deviation with brief eyelid fluttering at the seizure onset. She then described phosphenes and complex visual hallucinations of people walking in her right visual field, followed by sensations of cold chills and hot flashes rising in her upper body. She remained conscious and coherent throughout each event. The EEG and clinical presentation were consistent, lasting about 140 seconds (Fig. 2). Interictally, she complained of a persistent right homonymous hemianopia. FIG. 2 The patient was started on 500 mg oral levetiracetam twice daily on POD 15 but continued to have seizure activity. By POD 16, the levetiracetam increased to 1,000 mg twice a day, and no further epileptiform activity was recorded. The patient also reported a cessation in her visual hallucinations, although her hemianopia persisted. However, by POD 19, the patient had complete resolution of her hemianopia (Fig. 1B). Back to Top | Article Outline DISCUSSION Our patient had frequent cryptogenic occipitoparietotemporal simple partial seizures that resulted in ictal and postictal right homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing. This case demonstrates several classic clinical findings associated with parietal and occipital seizures. For example, eyelid fluttering is a known presentation in occipital seizures (1,5). Elementary visual hallucinations of phosphenes are also common in occipital seizures, particularly when seizure discharges originate from the lateral convexity of the occipital lobe (1). Typically, the phosphenes of occipital seizures are described as multicolored circles or spots, but as with our patient, some have reported achromatic flashing lights as well (3,4). The location of ictal phosphenes is classically in the contralateral hemifield. In 18 patients with occipital epilepsy reported by Panayiotopoulos (3), 13 patients characterized their elementary hallucinations to be located in the contralateral, monocular, temporal hemifield. Although our patient also experienced phosphenes in the contralateral hemifield, she distinctly described it as a binocular phenomenon. The formed visual hallucination that our patient described, that is, seeing people moving from the periphery to the midline of her hemianopic field, is a characteristic example of complex visual hallucinations associated with occipitoparietal seizures. As with our case, patients with complex ictal hallucinations frequently have a gaze preference in the direction of the hallucination but are usually aware that their hallucinations are not real (1). During the final moments of her epileptic events, our patient reported thermal fluctuations. Thermal sensations, although less common than other sensory findings of pain or paresthesias, have been observed in occipitoparietal seizures. Prior studies suggest that fluctuation in thermal perception may originate from the perisylvian region (1). However, in our patient, the thermal fluctuations did not correlate with a perisylvian electrographic spread pattern. In this case, all of the events were brief and were followed by postictal headaches, both of which are common features of occipital seizures (3,4). Our patient also experienced ictal and postictal right homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing. Her postictal EEG showed brief delta activity, most prominently in the left temporal lobe. Postictal hemianopia, a type of Todd's phenomenon, has been previously reported (2,6,7). In this case, our patient had macular sparing of her visual field. Although macular sparing would suggest an isolated occipital ictus, the EEG demonstrated that she had an occipitoparietal ictus. This discrepancy may be secondary to the limited sensitivity of scalp leads, which may not record the weaker electrical field of simple partial seizures. Given the maximum negativity over the O1 electrode, it is possible that our patient's seizure originated in the occipital lobe but was better detected by the scalp leads after it had spread to the parietal lobe. Despite a comprehensive workup, the etiology of our patient's seizures remains unknown. MRI revealed no focal lesions. Further evaluation with a single photon emission computed tomographic scan or cerebral angiogram could not be performed as the patient's liver transplant began to fail shortly after cessation of her seizures. Seizures are a known complication of liver transplantation. They usually occur in a bimodal distribution at 1 week and 5-16 weeks after surgery and are usually generalized (8). Infection, stroke, central pontine myelinolysis, and drug toxicity are among the different etiologies for posttransplant seizures(9). Of the medications that can induce seizures in transplant patients, calcineurin inhibitors, like tacrolimus, are a potential cause (10,11). In a retrospective study of tacrolimus-related seizures by Sevmis et al (11), 9% of liver transplant patients receiving tacrolimus developed seizures within the first 2 weeks of surgery, despite therapeutic levels. All these patients had generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and about 40% of them had evidence of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome on MRI. This case demonstrates many of the classic findings of parietal and occipital seizures, including eyelid fluttering, gaze preference, and elementary and complex visual hallucinations. In addition, this case illustrates that ictal homonymous visual field defects may occur, and if recognized and treated promptly, these field defects may resolve.Back to Top | Article Outline REFERENCES1.

I haven't written in months which is quite the shock because I went from blogging daily to never. I thought I would miss it but to be honest it has been totally freeing. In those months that I have been gone a lot has changed.
The biggest change has been that I now work full time outside of the house. Luckily I work a similar shift to the shift that John has so I can carpool. It's been incredibly difficult on me because it's a huge difference.
Other notable happenings:
The boys started high school and are doing unexpectedly well. Chandler is doing something with set design and Ethan is taking German.
Jayde is in eighth grade and as feisty as before. Struggling with some small stuff but over all doing much better with our big move than expected.
We talked in the Pride parade with people from work and it was an incredibly proud moment for me as I watch each child show their support of the freedom to love whoever. I especially loved watching Ethan jog on the sidelines with a rainbow flag on one side and highfiving the crowd with the other hand.
My baby (Jayde) turned 13!!! I was able to embarrass her by painting the entire car with paint asking passers by to honk because it's her birthday!
I play Pokémon Go like it's going out of style. Level 22 baby!

A film exploring disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner's 2013 bid for mayor of New York City premieres Sunday at the Sundance Film Festival, providing a remarkable account of a creative and political gamble that badly backfired.
The politician, who resigned from Congress in 2011 after revelations that he sent lewd text messages to women and was then hit with a second scandal during his New York mayoral run two years later, is the subject of a 90-minute documentary appearing at the independent festival.
The film was produced with not only Weiner's cooperation, but also that of his wife, Huma Abedin, the longtime top aide to current Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Huma Abedin and husband Anthony Weiner in New York last April
Weiner in 2011 admitted sending inappropriate photos and text messages to as many as six women before and after his wedding to Abedin. He identified himself by the nickname 'Carlos Danger'

According to a New York Times report on the film, 'Weiner' 'provides an unfettered look at the implosion of Mr. Weiner's mayoral campaign and a wrenching inside account of the couple's interactions in the aftermath of his second explicit texting scandal.'
The report describes several 'juicy moments' about Weiner in the film, including even a panicked escape from a McDonald's restaurant to avoid interacting with a woman with whom he had sent inappropriate text messages.
Abedin,remains a close confidante of Clinton – who has endured her own share of humiliation over her husband's misconduct. The film captures her at the height of her time as one of the top staffers at the State Department and before Clinton's presidential campaign.
The showing of the film at the Sundance this Sunday is bad timingfor Clinton's campaign. especially on the heels of the release of 13 Hours, the Hollywood account of the Sept. 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans. Clinton was secretary of state at the time – and Huma was at her side.
GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump has been making hay on the campaign trail over Bill Clinton's sexual misconduct, and recently rented out a movie theater in Des Moines to show free screenings of the movie – a week and a half before the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses.
Weiner exchanged a long series of texts with a woman named Sydney Leathers, who eventually went public with them
A note Weiner sent to Leathers
Weiner's texts to Leathers occurred after he resigned from Congress for a first instance of sending inappropriate messages
Hillary Clinton does not directly appear in the movie, only in news footage. But Abedin is front-and-center throughout the film, portrayed as the would-be savior for her husband's political prospects.
Asked at one point if Abedin wanted him to re-enter politics, Weiner says 'she did,' going on to explain, 'She was very eager to get her life back that I had taken from her,' referring to the first sexting scndal in 2011.
Abedin has come under scrutiny from congressional Republicans over her actions at the State Department, ranging from questions about personal billing and vacation practices to her influence on the agency as well as the Clinton family's charity, the Clinton Foundation.
'Weiner' is scheduled for release in movie theatres on May 20, as well as a television premiere on Showtime in October.
According to the Times report, Abedin and Weiner have asked to see the movie before its release, but have been refused. Both Abedin and a Clinton campaign spokesperson declined to comment to the newspaper.
The film was directed by a former Weiner chief of staff, Josh Kriegman, who led his district office in 2005 and 2006.
Abedin is depicted in the film as turning to other Clinton insiders for advice, instead of her husband, including longtime Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines, who advises her not to appear in public with Weiner as he casts his vote in the mayoral race.
At another moment, the Times report says, the couple is shown in a small office asking associates for campaign donations, with Abedin using a 'sweet voice' and asking, 'How was the engagement? I want all the details.'
Minutes later, she hangs up and tells Weiner in a flat tone, 'His wife is going to max out, and he'll try to raise another five.'

Tell us Your Secret Ritual that Always Works: Magick in Practice #1
August 13, 2014 by Admin Ogres
Filed under magick, magick in practice
Welcome to the first edition of Magick in Practice, part of an ongoing series of sample rites or procedures we will introduce for you to try and report back on. The general idea is that you take our suggestions, doctor them however you see fit, keep notes, and then come back here to report your results in detail — how you performed the acts and how they panned out for you. (We also intend to implement Magick in Theory at some point, whenever Patrick Dunn is ready to launch.) These systems may increase in formality later, but for right now, we're going with a simple post.
An Exercise of Will: Password Mantra
For this first edition, the idea is simple: Change a frequently used password — we suggest the password you enter when you boot up your computer — to a phrase that will serve as a focus of will to accomplish a goal. This is something I recently heard about and found intriguing. When you enter this new pass-phrase, focus your will into a sort of short mantra, repeating the phrase internally until it fades of its own accord as you continue working on your computer. Some examples might be:
- forgivemyexwife (This is similar to the original usage I read about.)
- confidenceinjobinterviews
- payoffmydebt
- saveforEuropeanvacation
You get the general idea. Feel free to add sigils or a more formal ritual structure surrounding this, but be sure to report on the details of how you dressed up the procedure. Report back here in comments either a) when you get results, or b) in about 30 days if no results. You may comment here with suggestions, speculation/theory and/or questions if you so desire.
Best of luck!

The Pulse is down today on concerns about spiraling student loan debts.
Today Mark Greene, the CEO of the credit score agency FICO, told Yahoo Finance that two-thirds of bank risk professionals recently surveyed think delinquencies on student loans will rise in 2012.
FinAid.org Publisher Mark Kantrowitz projects that the average graduating senior in 2012 will step into the real world more than $28,000 in the hole, which would explain the soon-to-be trillion dollars of outstanding student loans Americans are carrying. If you want to see something scary, click here to see the running tally of outstanding student loan debt tick up $2,800 each second.
This probably wouldn't be such a problem if grads could get good employment and start paying down their loans, but finding a job has become a challenge even for the well-educated. Holders of bachelor degrees typically don't have to worry much about unemployment, but recent college graduates find themselves struggling to get work. Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce found 8.9 percent of four-year-degree recipients jobless -- a number they called "unacceptable" in their recent study "Hard Times" of unemployment amongst individual college majors.
When you add in recent increases in credit card debt (up 8.5 percent from October to November) and renewed worries about future foreclosure numbers, you can see why bankers are nervous.

The Teen Scene
When I think about something I have to do, I've noticed I have a trend: I try to envision doing it. I think about the space, about what I'll say, about the people involved, about how it feels to do whatever it is I'm planning to do. I feel a tad bit more prepared ifRead More
It is of human nature to look at the possessions of others and draw parallels to one's own life; sometimes we wonder if ours are as important. Although one may already own these possessions, it is highly likely that envy will arise. We may perceive the other person's versions better, or surmise they are happier.Read More
One of my favorite radio programs and podcasts is NPR's Snap Judgment. They're collections of stories from people, told in entertaining ways, in different themes.

Some people say "don't judge a book by its cover," which typically means you should get to know something, or someone, before you decide what you think about it or them. It can refer to how a person dresses, or how food looks, or anything else you may wish to make a snap judgement about.Read More
Words have always been magical to me. I love Elizabethan English, the language that Shakespeare used; it sounds high, it sounds like it's flying, it sounds like it could echo in eternity. When you dig down into a subject, you start to find and use technical language. Sciences and Arts have technical language that oftenRead More
Language is often more important than we realize. We have strong words like "love" or "hate" that have a lot of emotional weight behind them. Telling a partner or family member "I love you" requires a lot of emotional commitment (if it's said sincerely). Letting someone know that "I hate it when you talk toRead More
Grammar Girl reports Chicago Manual Style and Associated Press Stylebook say "they/them" can be used to refer to individual people.

Sometimes, it's good to get away. Sometimes it's important to shift your focus away from your personal life, school life, work life, love life, or any other category you might have. It's not possible to put these things on pause, of course, but you can shift your attention. Leaving a piece of writing after theRead More
I love the universe. That's big claim, isn't it? No pun intended. Well, pun was kind of intended. I knew what I was writing, and I could've change it if I wanted. But I digress. I love the universe.

How do winners win? How did they do it? How did they get where they did? Certainly not by complaining about their lot in life, or by crying about how tough life was or about the conditions they faced. They just went out and did it. And in so doing, they were successful.
One of the most telling things about chronic whiners is they complain about their woes so much that they tend to sap the energy of others who are trying to get on with their lives. When one of these habitual whiners leaves, you can almost hear a collective sigh of relief from the others in the area! Another trait one sees in people, who find it hard to succeed, is that they have an excuse for their lack of productivity. Whiners make excuses why they weren't able to do something; winners just get on with it and finish the job!
In every aspect of life and in every career path, there will be hurdles and pitfalls to overcome. Even the best will knock over a hurdle or fall into a pit occasionally. Also we all have our downward spiral days, days on which things are just getting too much for us. It is these days that we have to have the fortitude to get through. The fixation should be on the goal, not on the troubled path we walk on.
