Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging method that can generate image of impedance distribution inside an object. In this imaging method, measured voltages are complex quantities that contain real and imaginary parts. To increase the accuracy of image reconstruction in EIT systems, it is necessary to utilize both real and imaginary parts of measured voltages. Phase sensitive demodulator can accurately specify the two parts of measured voltages. In this paper, a digital phase sensitive demodulator (DPSD) has been designed and implemented using a DSP board. Floating point 32-bit arithmetic with high speed of 225 MHz of the DSP core allows this digital demodulator to accurately measure real and imaginary parts of measured voltages with a desired SNR in an EIT system. This paper describes the theory and implementation of DPSD on a TMS320C6713 DSP board. Next, simulation data generated by the Code Composer Studio software and the data of an EIT phantom are applied to the DPSD. The simulation data results show a 0.12 degree phase error and a 0.37% amplitude error with high SNR of 130.6 dB. The EIT phantom results present the 0.76 degree phase error and the 0.91% amplitude error.

Chapter 2 : About James Potter
|Rating: 12+
|Chapter Reviews: 2
Background: Font color:
Sure, James Potter was good looking. Maybe he did single-handedly win the Quidditch Cup for Gryffindor.
But none of that ever impressed Lily.
And she wasn't sure why she started to go to Quidditch games more often or why she liked to stare absentmindedly at James Potter as he ran his fingers through his frustratingly annoying hair.
Truth be told, she never hated James Potter, and it was the Slytherins that made her sick.
James Potter just never had been her particular brand of tea, even if the rest of the school seemed to secretly (alright, so not so secretly) admire him and Sirius Black.
Lily was different, like she had been her entire life.
She didn't like the thought of falling for James Potter's trap; then she would just be like one of those silly girls that spent more time learning beauty charms than studying Transfiguration (a subject that Lily noticed James Potter was so remarkably apt at).
Even though Mitchell Leavins was a complete gentleman and a prefect for the last three years, he somehow lacked the charms and character traits that Lily was attracted to.
Mitchell just didn't have the ability to brighten her day and make her feel better after she heard terrible news (the Daily Prophet headline told of yet another mass killing of Muggles by the Death Eaters).
Mitchell also lacked that fierce loyalty that would make him almost blind to someone's imperfections because of how loyal he was.
Lily didn't want to admit that Dorcas was right when she said that the things Lily looked for in a man were the things that could be found in James Potter.
Admitting that James Potter was the kind of man that Lily was looking for felt like defeat.
It was true that they were now friends (if James had somehow gotten the message through her thoroughly confusing messages), and it was true that he was tolerable (if Lily considered being kind and always talking to someone tolerable).
Lily felt like she had been fighting a battle against stereotypes, and she didn't like to lose.
Lily also wasn't one to fall for someone easily; she could safely say that she had never been in love before.
But there was something stirring deep down inside of Lily that made her almost afraid.
It was the feeling of absolute joy when she saw James Potter laughing happily with his best mates, and it was the feeling of overwhelming pain when she saw James Potter in silent despair after yet another death.
Backtracking, Lily wasn't sure when it started.
Perhaps it was when James had come back after Christmas break looking and acting like a completely different person.
Perhaps it was when James had started to make a conscious effort to stop randomly hexing people for fun.
Perhaps it was when James had taken his Head Boy responsibilities very seriously when he was assigned the duty.
Perhaps it was when James had coldly dismissed a very talented fellow Chaser from the Gryffindor Quidditch team when she openly insulted 'talentless' people like Peter and all Muggleborns.
Perhaps it was when James had given her a chaste and unsure kiss on the forehead and subsequently gave her a stomach full of twittering butterflies.
But somehow, there was something that Lily couldn't deny as she watched James and his friends amuse themselves and some younger students with entertaining charms outside by the lake.
Whatever it was that was happening was the start of something new.
And though Lily would never admit this aloud until she gained the courage that she should have as a Gryffindor, Lily was a hundred percent positive that the passionate feelings stirring inside her could only be described in one word.
Love for James Potter.
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this!
This was started as an independent one-shot until I got inspiration from a wonderful review to extend it and finish it for the Jily Challenge by sour_grapes_snape.
Lily was harder to write than James, but regardless. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks for reading and pleae review!

If we want to do that (I'm mildly opposed, but I agree that this will hit us a lot more often), I think the correct approach is to expand the list of full dependencies once. So move the pkg_info -r calls out of the AWK script and provide a second version of the .depends file that contains the full list of packages we are willing to accept shared linking against. Joerg

1. A Good Stroller. You do a lot of walking at Disneyland. Most likely
2. A Fanny Pack. Yep, you heard me right. I am not normally an advocate of fanny packs. They scream DORK any time you see them... with one exception: at Disneyland! Since you will be leaving your stroller often, you need a way to keep your valuables on you at all times. I put my fanny pack on in the morning and didn't remove it until I went to bed at night. I wore it on every ride and never worried about leaving it somewhere. It was so nice to know that the essentials were safely at my hip.
Main Pocket: cell phone, keys, park maps and schedules (make sure to grab them when you first enter the park), chapstick, and snacks to eat in line.
Outer Pocket: Fast Pass tickets and rider exchange passes. These need to be easy to grab and separate from your park entry tickets.
Okay, enough about the fanny pack. Moving on.
3. Snacks. Lots of 'em! A churro costs $3 at Disneyland. An ice cream bar is about $4. Whoa! The food is outrageously expensive! It would have significantly increased the cost of our trip if we had purchased snacks in the park. So I brought them all from home. Before our trip, I bought a bunch of nonperishable foods and packed them into snack-sized baggies.
Every morning before we left our hotel room, I filled up my pink stroller bag and pulled out the little bags whenever someone said they were hungry. I kept some in my fanny pack too, so that we could eat while waiting in line for rides. Multi-tasking! I also stopped at a grocery store near Disneyland to buy grapes and carrots and loaded them into snack-sized bags as well. Apples, bananas, string cheese and Go-gurts were also very popular with my kiddos. We also brought sandwiches in.You can bring snacks in a cooler as long as it is soft-sided and small (click HERE for official rules of what you can and can't bring into the park).
4. Baby/Kid Gear. Diapers, wipes, a change of clothes/plastic sacks in case of diaper blow outs, formula/bottles/baby food/nursing cover (the one I made was sooo handy!), a blanket, hand sanitizer, baby toys, and sunblock. Later in the week I'll share the activity book I made to keep my kids occupied while waiting in line or waiting for the parade or waiting for the fireworks to start, or... well... anytime they were waiting. You do a lot of that at Disneyland.
5. A Light Jacket. Pack one for each family member. It cools off after dark, especially if you are still wet from Grizzly River Rapids or Splash Mountain.
6. Water Bottles. Dehydration will kill the fun really quickly and the price of water at the park will kill your budget! We used the same four bottles and just kept refilling them. There's even a handy water bottle filling spout in the Tomorrowland plaza near where they do the Jedi Training Academy. Look near the condiment carts by the food windows. You can also ask for a free cup of water from any food place, but carrying our water bottles seemed easier since we just chucked them in the stroller. If you want to get fancy, you could always bring those single serve flavor packs to add to your water bottles.
7. Comfortable Clothes. I saw several people walking around the park in mini-skirts and high heals and just shook my head. Disneyland is not a fashion show, people! Wear t-shirts, shorts and most importantly, comfortable walking sneakers. Even with comfy shoes, your dogs will be barking by the end of the day. I suggest packing a pair of flip flops into the park. I switched into them for an hour in the middle of the day and it felt so good to give my feet some air and let them stretch out after being crammed into my sneakers all day. And the flip flips hardly took up any room at all.
8. A Camera. But remember, you'll have to bring it with you every time you go on a ride. You could just take pictures with your phone or bring a small camera or only bring your big, nice camera one day or just be willing to carry it on all the rides. Grizzly River Rapids in California Adventure will get you wet, but they have lockers you can store your camera in and they are free for the first two hours. One photo tip for you: there are photographers at all the iconic photo spots throughout the park and they will gladly take a picture of you with your camera free of charge. Just ask! But make sure the settings are ready to go before you hand the camera over.
9. An Emergency Blanket. This is what they look like:
Why? They take up almost no room in your bags, but they are the perfect way to save a spot at the parade or nighttime shows like Fantasmic or World of Color. Then you have a clean place to sit and you can just throw them away when you're done. My sister bought a 12 pack online somewhere for around $5 because she has season passes and goes to Disneyland often, but you can find single blankets in the camping or preparedness section of stores like Walmart.
10. Glowsticks. When it gets dark, suddenly there are all these vendors selling glow-in-the-dark stuff. For ridiculous prices. I went to Michael's before we left home and bought a tube of 12 glow bracelets for $1. My kids loved walking around the park with them and it saved me a wad of cash!
11. Sunglasses. It's not called Sunny California for nothing. You can even stow them in your fanny pack so they don't come flying off when you ride Space Mountain. ;)
12. Park Tickets. Let's not travel all the way to Disneland and leave our tickets at home, mmmkay? Double and triple check that you bring your tickets with you!
We purchased our Disneyland tickets and hotel room through Get Away Today and it saved us $150. At the time I was not affiliated with the company at all... they were just the best deal I could find after scouring the internet like a bargain hunting crazy lady. Three years later and I've joined their affiliate program because I love them so much! If you click on the Get Away Today link above and enter the promo code "CraftPatch" you can save an addition $10 on your Disneyland vacation!

I love orzo. I love it even more when it's smothered in cheese. This was an easy and delicious dish that I see reappearing on my table in my future, maybe with some more vegetables thrown in.
Cheesy Orzo with Broccoli (serves ~3)
- 1 cup uncooked orzo
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ~1 1/2 cups frozen broccoli cuts, thawed
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (I used colby jack)
- 2 Tbsp parmesan cheese
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- Bring a pot of water and sea salt to boiling. Add orzo and cook for 5 minutes. Add broccoli cuts and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until orzo is tender.
- Drain thoroughly.
- To the now empty pot, add butter and heavy cream. When butter is melted, add cheeses and orzo/broccoli mixture and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste and additional cream (or milk) if necessary.

Many GP surgeries offer a well woman clinic, where you may be seen by a female doctor or practice nurse.
Many GP surgeries offer a well woman clinic, where you may be seen by a female doctor or practice nurse.
The well woman clinic will often provide advice on:
They may also provide emergency contraception.
You can also discuss your general health and have your urine, weight, cholesterol and blood pressure checked.
Some local hospitals also run well woman clinics. To use these, you don't need a referral from your GP, and an appointment isn't always needed. Ring your GP surgery for information.
If neither your GP surgery nor local hospital runs a well woman clinic, many practice nurses are able to give breast awareness advice, do cervical smears, and provide information and advice on contraception and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
There are also private health organisations that run well woman clinics, carrying out extensive health checks for women for a fee. You can find details of these in your local phone book or online.

Rainwater harvesting is NOT illegal. It was heavily restricted in Colorado, Washington and Utah until 2009, but all three states have since relaxed their bans
I thoroughly enjoyed Stephen Hren's informative and detailed article about rainwater harvesting in HP149. But here in my home state of Colorado, collecting rainwater counts as theft of property from downstream water-rights owners, and can result in fines of $500 every day that the rainwater collection system is in operation. Even placing a bucket under your shower to gather the first couple of gallons of cold water before it heats up and you jump in, and then watering your outdoor garden with it, is often illegal—no matter where the water comes from. As they say 'round these parts, "Whiskey's for drinkin' and water's for fightin'."
In 2009, Colorado eased up a bit on the law after a study revealed that 97% of rooftop rainwater never makes it into streams or aquifers anyway, but rainwater harvesting is still not legal for most Coloradoans. If water service is available from a utility, no matter the distance or cost to run it to your home, you can't use rainwater or snowmelt from your roof, driveway, or yard—for anything. If you own more than 35 acres and have a special well permit, you might be allowed to use rooftop rainwater outside your home for a very few, specific uses. If your rural property is less than 35 acres and you don't have city water service, you are now allowed to use roof-harvested rainwater inside the home, but not outside for a hot tub, vegetable or flower garden, greenhouse, aquaculture, trees, or animals.
And in all cases under the new law, a permit from the state Division of Water Resources is required for any rainwater harvesting. Even composting toilets and water storage for fire protection are tricky legal areas; composting toilets don't put wastewater back into the ground, and fire-protection cisterns may have to be locked so that only firefighters can draw water from them.
Of course, it's unlikely that your grandmother in Denver will be fined or jailed for watering her petunias and tomatoes from the rain barrel under her downspout. State regulators claim to focus on violators who try to store large amounts of rainwater for irrigation and livestock. And Colorado's water-rights laws are not some new bureaucratic affront to our personal freedoms, but rather date from the era of presidents Abraham Lincoln through Ulysses S. Grant—before Colorado was even a state. In any case, though, tell grandma to watch her back. For more information, see www.ext.colostate.edu/sam/rainwaterbills.pdf.

Our friend Sheil Kapadia at philly.com looks at Mike Bell's numbers in short-yardage, and he gets some help from our metrics.
The article also reveals the two backs that were 1-2 in short-yardage situations last year: Ricky Williams and Lousaka Polite. I wonder if the offensive line had something to do with that.
4 comments, Last at 27 Mar 2010, 4:05am by sports-veronica
Mike Bell is actually a bigger back than you'd think and his team has a good QB that could keep defenses honest and good offensive guards.
Rickey Williams could have benefited from 3rd and short plays where he comes in barreling down in motion... Now when would you want Ronnie Brown to keep the ball and when would you want him to hand it off to Rickey? When the defensive ends aren't playing contain and when they come crashing in. If that's what's happening it's sort of cherry pick the data as RW would only be running in favorable situations, where as his OC would NOT be calling to give him the ball in unfavorable situations where opposing DE's keep contain and stay honest. Plus, Rickey Williams is a bigger back than people give him credit for as well.
Bell was pretty good early in the year at getting the necessary yardage. I think he was #2 for the league in success rate for much of the year. However, he tailed off late in the year and the Saints were using Lynell Hamilton more often than Bell by the time the playoffs came.
I have no idea if it was due to an injury, or if he was simply returning to his more natural skill level.
Hamilton is a big back that runs like a big back and is ideal for those situations if you believe that the fall foward traditional goal line cloud of dust back is better... but sometimes the smaller quicker guys can also be very effective as they can move quickly in small space.
Hamilton looks like a legit goal line back and that he could rotate in there as well if need be.
Do defenses really wear out over the course of a game? Do defenses benefit from long drives that give them more time to rest on the sideline? Guest columnist Ben Baldwin investigates.

An Anchor Point man and his passenger were flown to Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage on Thursday in critical condition after their truck crashed into a tree near Cooper Landing.
Patrick Olarey, 20, of Anchor Point, and Rosing Boungnavath, 24, of Anchorage, were headed westbound on the Sterling Highway in a blue 2000 Ford Ranger when it veered across the opposite lane of traffic, entered the ditch and collided with a tree.
Alaska State Troopers, Cooper Landing and Moose Pass volunteer emergency responders were called to the scene of the accident at about 11 a.m. The accident occurred at Mile 45 of the highway near the Sunrise Inn in Cooper Landing.
Moose Pass Volunteer Company Chief Mike Turner said that when he arrived at the scene of the accident Boungnavath was being attended to in an ambulance, but Olarey was trapped in the crushed vehicle and had to be extricated.
"The roof was cut off and the doors were cut off," he said. "It was totaled. The whole thing."
He said the truck had run into a large spruce tree but he saw no evidence at the scene suggesting why the truck had gone off the road.
"He just ran off the road in a straight area," he said. "I don't know if there was something wrong with the vehicle. I'm not sure what caused the accident at all."
The highway was closed to accommodate two helicopters that had been called to the accident. He said he did not know how long the highway had been closed, but estimated it took about an hour to extricate Olarey from the truck.
He said Olarey was conscious when they removed him from the vehicle but that he did not talk to Olarey and didn't see or know if Boungnavath had been conscious.
A trooper report stated emergency responders do not know whether Olarey and Boungnavath had been wearing their seat belts when the accident occurred.

Skegness 2nd XV travelled to Scunthorpe for a league fixture arranged at short notice, to find a very strong home side whose powerful pack dominated the early phases of play.
Skegness soon found themselves 14-0 down, however this prompted an admirable rearguard with some resilient defence and tremendous tackling.
As this squad has showed in the past, they quite simply refuse to throw in the towel and in the second half stemmed the flow of points and indeed scored a deserved try through Spikings.
Scunthorpe ran out deserved winners, but skipper Andy Hill was greatly encouraged by the commitment and fight demonstrated by all of the Skegness players.
Skegness - Farnsworth, Linnell, Turner, Tasker, Hill, Spiers, Machin, Nuttall, Cameron, Delafontayne, Bignell, Brian, Spikings, Hummell, Hotchen.

Chatting is no longer creepy. It's necessary!
Twitter chats are the most wonderful thing. Instead of having a completely random conversation in the middle of the Twitterverse, you can sit down with a bunch of awesome people who have come together for the same subject matter and chat with them for about an hour.

Dry 2009 in parts of the United States
Drought worries intensified as a U.S. meteorologist said January and February were the driest first two months of a year ever recorded in the United States.
Richard Helm of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told USA Today that the average rainfall in the United States during January and February was a sparse 2.69 inches, the lowest average since NOAA began keeping records in 1895.About 7 percent of the nation is considered to be in a drought, and while that pales to the roughly two-thirds of the country affeced during the Dust Bowl days, it is enough to worry agriculture and wildfire experts.
Among the problems spots, according to NOAA, are South Florida's dwindling water table, and the below-average mountain snow pack in California and Texas, where pastures and fields are too dry to support spring grazing and planting.
Meanwhile, parts of the Midwest corn belt in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and Missouri were dealing with flooding this week.

Lucy Shaw has only been on the job for a week and a half, but the new interim facility coordinator for Memphis Animal Services has already started to clean up the mess her predecessor, former shelter director Ernie Alexander, left behind.
Shaw, a former CEO of the Regional Medical Center at Memphis, was hired by Mayor A C Wharton to determine what changes need to be made to the animal shelter. Earlier this month, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office raided the shelter, finding severely malnourished animals and poor living conditions. Alexander was fired as a result of the investigation.
"The Med and the animal shelter are both health-care facilities, but one's for displaced and homeless animals while the other is for two-legged animals," Shaw said. "I'm thinking of the shelter in the same context that I would a hospital."
In her first week, Shaw and a team of staff and volunteer vets surveyed the aging facility on Tchulahoma Road to determine what should be done.
"We spent the first week on the ground talking to people, trying to understand how the facility is supposed to work, and taking a look at what doesn't work," Shaw said. "We spent some time adjusting the air handling system [to prevent the spread of disease] and inspecting how we clean the facility."
Shaw said she's "only scraped the surface." Her appointment runs from 60 to 90 days, and part of her duties is determining what qualities the city should seek in a new shelter director. She's also charged with preparing staff for the upcoming move to the new animal shelter facility on Appling Road. The new shelter is slated to open next summer.
"This is a wonderful dry run," Shaw said. "We're trying to determine what we can do better and differently as we prepare to go into a facility twice the size as the one we're in."
While Shaw attempts to clean up the shelter, city councilwoman Janice Fullilove hopes to address the shelter's overcrowding problems with a citywide mandatory spay and neuter ordinance.
Fullilove and council member Kemp Conrad attempted to introduce the ordinance earlier this year, but it was delayed indefinitely during city budget talks. In light of recent problems at the shelter, Fullilove hopes to restart discussions in a council committee in a few weeks.
"People are bringing in animals to the shelter by the dozens, and something has to be done to stop the overcrowding," Fullilove said.
Such an ordinance would likely face fierce opposition from breeders, so some activists are pushing a citywide spay and neuter initiative rather than a mandatory ordinance.
"The word 'mandatory' turns a lot of people off," said Gail Phillips, who is backing a voluntary push for spay and neuter through low-cost clinic Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services. "We're trying to put together a program where we can go into communities and sign people up to have their pets spayed and neutered. We could transport the animal to the clinic and bring them back to their owners after having them spayed and neutered for free."
But Fullilove argues that a voluntary push wouldn't be as effective as a mandatory ordinance.
"Spay and neuter is already voluntary, and people aren't doing it," Fullilove said. "We're going to have to sit down and put our heads together to see how we should enforce a mandatory ordinance. Other cities have made it work."

Last week I talked a little bit about wanting to write more letters and cards this year. As luck would have it, I was able to partner with (in)courage and DaySpring to do a review of their cards!
DaySpring sent me their lovely So True - All Occasion cards and the matching thank you cards to try out. I have to say, I love them. They have beautiful backgrounds and pictures on the front. All different, and all in beautiful colors that fit me perfectly. The blues greens and pinks always make me happy :-) I have never actually bought packs of inspirational cards before. Typically I will buy cards that are blank on the inside - I tend to write a lot when I send a card :-) These cards have some great inspiration on the inside and still plenty of room for me to write a long note. The cards are not too heavy, which is good because I try to also tuck some tea, or something else in there. The envelopes are a more natural tone instead of the normal white which is nice. It gives the card a bit of a rustic look when you receive it.
And because I love all my readers so much, I have a lovely giveaway for you guys from DaySpring! You have the opportunity to win a $20 coupon code towards a purchase at DaySpring! All you need to do is go over to DaySpring, have a look at the wonderful products they offer, and then come back here and leave a comment telling me what you would most like to buy with the coupon! For extra entries you can follow my blog, tweet about this giveaway, share it on Facebook, or blog about it on your own blog. Just come back here and leave a separate comment and link for each extra entry. This giveaway will run until Wednesday, January 25th.

Kejriwal Kicks Off Campaign Against Demonetisation From Meerut
Pointing to the Rs 6,000 crore loan of Vijay Mallya being written off, Kejriwal asked the audience, ' Kitne log mante hai ki Modi ji beimaan hai, zara haath khade karo?' to which the people responded by raising their hand in unison.

Meerut: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday slammed demonetization scheme during a rally in Meerut and exhorted people to vote anyone but BJP.
Kejriwal took time out of his busy schedule to address a rally in Meerut in poll bound Uttar Pradesh where AAP is not contesting elections.
This is the first of the six rallies that the AAP chief plans to address against demonetisation; one each in Varanasi and Lucknow in UP, one in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, one in Jaipur, Rajasthan and the last one in Ranchi, Jharkhand.
MP, Rajasthan and Jharkhand are BJP ruled states. It is significant that Kejriwal has chosen to invest time and energy in states where AAP does not have a direct stake in elections, even as it is gearing up to fight hard battles in Punjab and Goa.

Kejriwal is the second chief minister to have visited Uttar Pradesh after Mamata Banerjee. He like the West Bengal Chief Minister, has taken the campaign against demonetisation out of his home turf.
The road to the rally venue at Gokulpur village, barely few kilometers from Meerut, was dotted with hoarding of AAP leaders.
The rally ground, too, saw a robust footfall of people, primarily AAP supporters, youth and members of the minority community including women.
The entire cabinet of AAP government barring Satyendra Jain was on stage and so was DDC vice chairman Ashish Khetan.
Arvind Kejriwal had his audience responding and cheering repeatedly in the course of his nearly half an hour speech, the message of which was simple–vote for any party but not for the BJP.
Kejriwal began by saying, "Today, I have not come to ask for votes, if I had to ask for votes, I would have gone to Punjab or Goa where our party is contesting elections. Today I have come to beg you to save this country" ( aaj mein aap ke samne is desh ko bachane ki bhik mangne aya hun)'.
The chief minister then built a carefully constructed argument to build his case on why demonetisation is, 'Independent India's biggest scam worth Rs 8,00000 crores'.
Taking on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kejriwal said, "Kal pradhan mantra ne ailan kiya …parson…ki jinke paas kala dhan hai unko chinta karne ki xaroorat nahi, fifty-fifty kar lo, adha tum rakh lo, adha Modi ji ko de do… badi khatarnak scheme hain doston' (Yesterday the prime minister announced that those having black money needn't worry – half of it will remain with you and half will go to Modi.. this is a very dangerous scheme friends'.
Kejriwal questioned the taxation amendment passed recently in Parliament saying, "No questions will be asked about the source of the black money, whether it has been generated through terrorism, drugs, extortion, tax evasion'.
"Modi ji is saying you have ten crore rupees of black money, give me five crores, the other five crores will be white money'. ' If this had to be done, then why demonetisation," he questioned.
Further slamming the Centre for writing off loans of corporates to the tune of Rs 1,14,000 crore and alleging harassment to farmers, middle class with notices being served to them, Kejriwal said, "I want to ask Modi ji, how many bouncers, how many notices did you send to the houses of those people whose Rs 1,14,000 crore loan you have written off, how many of their bank accounts did you freeze, how much of their land did you mortgage."
Kejriwal alleged that demonetisation is a 'big conspiracy hatched by the BJP, Amit Shah and Modiji' so people deposits their hard earned money and 'loans worth 8,00000 Cr will be written off'.
"If the intent was to crackdown on black money, the Prime Minister should have arrested the 648 people who have accounts in the Swiss banks," AAP chief added.
Pointing to the Rs 6,000 crore loan of Vijay Mallya being written off, Kejriwal asked the audience, ' Kitne log mante hai ki Modi ji beimaan hai, zara haath khade karo?' to which the people responded by raising their hand in unison.
"Many people told me, they will avenge every minute they had to spend standing in queue due to demonetisation," Kejriwal said taking a dig at the demonetisation scheme.
It is the same rhetoric that is likely to be in play in Kejriwal's Varanasi, Lucknow, Bhopal, Jaipur and Ranchi rallies in the coming days.
Unlike Mamata Banerjee's rally in Lucknow which saw the attendance of Samajwadi Party leaders, there were no leaders from any other party on AAP stage.
Sanjay Singh, AAP PAC Member and UP-In Charge said, "We have our own party cadre and structure, why should we seek the support of any other party?"
AAP is not yet clear on the role its cadre in Uttar Pradesh will play in the 2017 Assembly elections.
No party which aims to have a national footprint can afford to ignore Uttar Pradesh, which has given eight of India's fourteen Prime Ministers, the 15th Prime Minister, Narendra Modi represents Varanasi.
Uttar Pradesh has 80 parliamentary seats and 404 assembly seats.
During 2014 polls, AAP leader Kumar Vishwas had taken on Rahul Gandhi and Smriti Irani and finished fourth.
Arvind Kejriwal had resigned as Delhi Chief Minister, challenged Narendra Modi from Varanasi and finished second.
AAP currently does not have the bandwidth to contest elections in UP, but Kejriwal is making his presence felt by pitching himself as the prime opponent to Narendra Modi.

Seven Stages to Clarity by pfeifferpack
Summary: When facing eternity, a good mother will try to put all her affairs in order. That means getting real, seeing clearly and putting your own heart's desires on hold, your dreams in perspective, letting your brain control your advice. Now if only those you love will just cooperate! Joyce looks to her daughter's future as her own mortality becomes an issue and comes to some startling conclusions. Can Joyce convince Buffy to forget all that she has been telling her, all that everyone has been telling her, thereby easing Joyce's own worries before facing the hospital and possible death?
Setting: S5 and begins to go AU at the end of "Fool For Love" (written by Douglas Petrie). I am using bits of dialogue from that episode in the beginning of the story before it goes a very different direction.
Story Notes:
A/N: Some info such as doctors' names and Joyce's medical condition were taken from "Shadow" (written by Dave Fury) and "Listening to Fear" (written by Jane Espenson) and a wee bit of Riley attitude paraphrased from "Into The Woods" (by Marti Noxon).
Elizabeth Kübler-Ross identified a grief cycle (her initial number of stages was five) that occurs when people deal with death or grieving. The current feeling is that there are more like seven stages, hence my title. Those stages encompass: Shock and denial, pain and guilt, anger and bargaining, depression and loneliness (or a period of reflection realizing the full impact of the loss), an upward turn of adjustment, reconstruction of life with the change, and finally acceptance and hope.
Chapter 1
Joyce felt the world slip gears and move into slow motion, the doctor's voice deep and distorted as with one of those machines that disguise voices and make a person sound eerie and wrong.
She was young! She was vital! She had a life and plans and two daughters to see grow into full womanhood! This could NOT be real. It was a mistake, a bad joke.
The doctor was giving her a "worst-case-scenario" and worst just didn't cover it.
"You do understand that long-term survival is possible, even if only in a minority of patients. With aggressive treatment and close monitoring, it IS possible to outlive the typical life expectancies for this type of tumor," the doctor droned on.
The man just didn't understand. Joyce had a future and it was a long one. This was one tragic mistake and that CAT scan was going to prove it. Maybe she'd even feel like laughing when they admitted that the diagnosis was completely wrong; or maybe she'd just hit the smug bastard currently taking her life away with his every word.
The serious look on his patient's face was mistaken for concentration by the physician so he continued describing the likely progression if the tumor remained untreated. "With oligodendroglioma, you will likely progress from those headaches that brought you here to seizures in the frontal lobe. This will begin to affect your personality and might prove quite confusing for you and your family. You said you have two teenage daughters, correct?" The doctor put on his best patient-friendly smile and feigned interest in the entire person he was treating, rather than the tumor he was just itching to expose.
"What?" Joyce was startled back into the conversation, aware that some question had been asked but unable to fathom just what it had been.
"I was asking about your daughters," Dr. Isaacs prompted. "You did say you have two of them?"
"Yes, Buffy is in college and Dawn in junior high school. They both need me, so this just can't be allowed to happen. Their father isn't a part of their lives and they depend on me alone. You did say that if the scan does show this tumor that I still have a good chance, right?"
"Not precisely, no, but the sooner we address the tumor, the better your chances are. Some patients have had close to a dozen years of quality life because it was caught in time. With surgery and good follow-up treatment…a course of anticonvulsants…some steroids to minimize brain swelling…and chemo, of course. We've had a lot of success with Temozolomide and it has relatively mild side effects." He smiled and patted Joyce's hand in sympathy. "There really is reason for hope, no matter what the outcome of that CAT scan, but the sooner we act, the better your chances."
Okay, it was all a big deal about nothing. She'd check into the hospital, have the test and find it was all just nothing more than a bad migraine. No tumor here, folks, move along. Her girls weren't babies, but they still needed their mother.
Buffy had Riley and Joyce was glad that her dreams of a happy, white-picket fence life and fat grandbabies looked promising at long last. She hadn't really gotten to know Riley well yet. Buffy had been so involved in her own life since beginning college that she had precious little time to spend with her mother and little sister. 'That's only normal,' Joyce reminded herself with a soft smile. Riley seemed a solid young man though, very dependable, polite, self-confident…and human, not a century older than Buffy.
Dawn was at an awkward stage, neither child nor adult. She was typical in that she needed her mother at this turning point in her life.
Joyce still felt guilty over the painful mistakes she'd made with Buffy. Not believing her stories about vampires and mystical destiny had led to so much pain for them all. The seemingly logical response of psychiatric care and hospitalization had proven a disaster for the entire family. That was just the beginning of Hank's looking elsewhere for his comfort and pleasures-a normal life without his child having a breakdown and a wife focusing all of her attention on said daughter. Joyce had felt a personal failure on all fronts.
After the divorce and move to Sunnydale, she had been so busy building a new life for the two of them that Buffy was left to her own devices far too often and Joyce regretted each lost day of that time.
She still hadn't listened, not when Buffy tried to warn her of something "off" about Ted, not when Buffy finally demanded that she accept the strange, frightening world that was the true reality going on unacknowledged by every 'sensible' person.
She and Buffy were finally on good footing now, all those bad years and wrong choices being put in the past. Angel had been dealt with and Buffy seemed on the way to being happy again. There were scars, but they had a firm bond between them now.
Joyce had a chance to do it right with Dawn, to not make the same mistakes. Surely such a blessing as this second chance had to mean that she was to have plenty of time to be the kind of mother she always wanted to be to BOTH her girls. To hold her grandchildren and spoil them and watch Buffy and Dawn become the wonderful women she knew they were destined to become.
"…of course if surgery is necessary, you'll have the best we have on staff here. Dr. Kriegel came to us from Sloan-Kettering and has done this procedure innumerable times with great success." Dr. Isaacs smiled reassuringly, "I'm sure you have the best possible chance for all of this to be dealt with quickly and satisfactorily. You'll likely even keep that pretty blonde hair." The doctor patted her on the head like she was some vain child that he was patronizing.
'Satisfactorily?' The only possible good outcome would be to have the tests show no growth on her brain at all.
"I'm sure you're right, doctor." Joyce rose and mindlessly reached for her purse. "I'll be ready to check into the hospital in the morning. I need to pack and let the girls know what's happening. Buffy will be able to watch over Dawn the short time I'm there." She began to compile mental lists of all she needed to do in the short hours left to her "normal" life. The important thing was not to panic.
The drive home was the longest Joyce could ever remember. Her mind buzzed with thoughts, plans, fears and still a firm denial that anything was about to change. She supposed it was too late to get additional insurance. Still, there was coverage and she had enough put back to see them through. The gallery was doing quite well and the inventory would sell easily if worse did come to worse.
The last thing she wanted to do was overly alarm Buffy. Her daughter's …calling…was dangerous enough without adding distractions. Earlier Buffy had tried to pull one over on her, disguising the fact that she was obviously treating an injury. The past year had led to an unspoken truce where Buffy's slaying was concerned. Joyce had to adjust to the peril her eldest was in on a daily basis. No more head in the sand for Joyce Summers. Buffy was constantly at risk. No, the last thing Joyce wanted was to make a big issue over this little glitch. Her girls needed to let her worry about them, not the other way around.
Joyce had hoped that Riley helping out with the slaying would make Buffy less prone to injury. Maybe with proper backup Buffy could outlive all expectations, even grow old. Oddly enough, it seemed Riley's presence hadn't prevented much. He was highly trained, or so Joyce had been told, but he was still a human facing a supernatural enemy. No matter how many of Buffy's friends or boyfriends were at her side, the risks were still alarmingly high for her brave girl.
She had so many dreams for her beautiful elder daughter. Buffy was far more intelligent than she herself believed. Just getting the grades she had received while saving the world every night was remarkable. Joyce still resented the intrusion of Buffy's calling, how it warped her life and cheated her of all the things most girls could take for granted. Buffy was a beauty too, a real head turner with a wonderful sense of humor. She could do and be anything she wished!
Joyce just wanted her happy. Well, happy and safe. A nice, faithful, devoted man to help partner her in life, a career that fulfilled her and a family to surround her with love-a typical mother's dreams for her child, Joyce supposed.
Realistically, Buffy's life was destined to be anything but normal. Still, there should be some way to carve as much happiness as possible out of it. Buffy had already more than paid her dues. She was surrounded by so much violence and pain; it really wasn't fair at all. If Joyce could remove the burden from Buffy she would. As it was, all she could do was be there for her daughter and she wasn't going to let some bit of tissue in the brain stop her.
Joyce sat with her second cup of tea and worked over her "to-do" list for the girls to follow while she was in the hospital. The groceries needed to be the right kind-not just frozen pizza and junk food. She highlighted the fresh vegetables on the list in bright yellow. The knock on the back door startled her into spilling a bit of her liquid comfort.
"Stopped by to see if you got that shipment in you were telling me about last week." Spike smiled in greeting as Joyce let him into her kitchen. "Fancy some help with the heavier pieces?"
Joyce smiled in return. It was hard at times to remember that the creature before her was actually over a hundred years old, and a vampire at that. He seemed such a charming, disarming boy most of the time. She tended to relate to him that way as well. Their tentative friendship had begun over drunken, tear-filled moments in this very kitchen a couple of years before and had slipped into a comfortable place that she enjoyed more than she wanted to admit. She still had few friends in Sunnydale.
"I had Bobby unload them, Spike, but thank you for offering."
"Always willing to lend a bit of muscle." Spike perched on the counter, ignoring the chair available at the table. "Writing some fanfiction for "Friends" or "Ally McBeal" there, pet? Make all the characters do the things you want them to do, not what the soddin' writers come up with?" His teasing tone always made her want to laugh. He really was full of charm when he wasn't taunting Buffy into hitting him. They had talked at length about Joyce's old dream of becoming a famous novelist and Spike was always encouraging her to try her hand, even if only as an amateur.
"No, but speaking of TV shows, have you managed to get that cable connection you were working on where you live?"
"Still a work in progress." Spike noted the tea bag on the saucer by Joyce's cup and frowned. One day he'd invite the lady over for a proper cuppa and show off his ingenuity in turning a tomb into a proper home, fit for even a lady such as Joyce to come as company.
"Maybe Xander could lend a hand. He has always been the one to get my electronic messes straightened out here."
Spike knew better than to voice his opinion of the boy who had made himself a thorn in his side ever since his chipping. Joyce liked the whelp and, Spike was pleased to realize, she liked him too. There were times when he could remain silent, if the prize was worth it, and having a friend was a fine prize indeed. "I've got a handle on it, pet. Just need to nick the right bits and pieces and I'll be as high-tech as Bill Bloody Gates. Plan on havin' more than just cable TV when I'm done. Gonna be fully connected, a man of the times."
Joyce chuckled. It was true that Spike wasn't like most vampires she had heard about since being forced into admitting they existed. Even Angel seemed to hold onto an aura of bygone times compared to Spike. True, Spike hadn't moved past Sid Vicious in his fashion sense, but that was a statement and not a sign of being stuck in the past. She wondered, not for the first time, just how it felt to be nearly immortal. At the moment, that made her more sad than contemplative, so she shelved the thought.
Spike noted the fleeting emotions that crossed her face and wondered what was up. "Everything okay, Joyce? Eldest giving you nightmares with her unfortunate choices in mates?" There were no words for the hatred Spike felt towards Riley Finn and seeing his Slayer hanging on the berk was maddening.
Joyce detected the jealous tone in his voice and pushed aside the fears that came from suspecting that yet another vampire was attracted to Buffy. "Riley has been very helpful and Buffy is finally enjoying herself like any normal college-age girl, so no, no nightmares on that account."
She could see the look of concern on Spike's face and knew he was aware that something was not right. It wouldn't do to confide in him when she had yet to even speak to her own children though. "Everything is fine. I'm making a shopping list and I just know Buffy and Dawn will ignore everything on it and load up on microwavable junk."
"Going somewhere then?" Spike guessed. "Can't say I'd want Buffy trying her hand at cooking a real meal. Might be better if they did stick to the quick n' easy. Less chance to burn down your lovely house." He smiled at a private memory. "And have you tried any of the Bit's 'specialties'?" He shuddered and turned slightly green, causing peals of laughter from Joyce.
"Sadly, yes. She seems to have no interest in following normal recipes and I refuse to try her concoctions again after the last time. She decided that peanut butter would make a great ingredient in lasagna for some reason. It wasn't." They both grimaced at the thought. "She had this convoluted logic about peanuts being protein and how the consistency was almost like Ricotta cheese."
The phone broke into their laughter and with some regret Joyce went to answer. She laughed a lot in Spike's company; it felt nice. "Summers residence. Joyce here." She closed her eyes in resignation as she listened to Buffy giving her excuses for missing the dinner they had planned. "Just make sure Giles feeds you while you do this research, okay? He may be your Watcher, but I'm your mom and I don't think you eat nearly enough."
Spike thought Buffy looked perfect as she was, but didn't voice it. So the Slayer was in for a night of research. He wondered what big bad was on the scene to bring Buffy to the point of reading dusty tomes and listening to Rupes drone on and on about this and that misinformation the Council passed off as fact.
"Suppose I'd best be heading off. Wires to connect, bits to nick." Spike slid from the counter graceful as a cat and headed for the back door. "Give a shout if you need anything. Harris isn't the only one handy and willin' to offer."
"Thank you, Spike. I know you are always considerate and helpful to me and I appreciate that. You're a good friend." Joyce watched as his black clad form melded into the night.
"No, honey, I'm fine." Joyce continued packing, managing to avoid eye contact with a worried Buffy. "Have you seen my conditioner?" Keep it casual, that's the ticket.
"Did you look under the sink?" Buffy was trying to wrap her mind around the news her mom had just given her. Vampires and demons she could face 'til the cows came home-even a herd of vampire cows if they existed-but hospitals were another thing completely. In Buffy's short life, hospitals equaled despair and death. "So why the hospital? I know you've had those migraines lately, but that isn't usually a reason to check into that place."
"Well, it's likely nothing, honey. Dr. Isaacs just wants to be sure, run some tests."
"I'm pretty sure you're not talking multiple choice or true-or-false here. What kind of tests and for what?"
Joyce finally looked her in the eye and noticed how pale Buffy was at the thought of her going into the hospital. "I'm only staying overnight for observation and a CAT scan." She could see that Buffy was already in overdrive with concern. "I'll only be one night and they say that even if there is something it's still early and I'll be just fine."
"What's this early 'it' that's nothing for me to worry about?"
"There's a slight, a very slight chance that I might have a small growth on my brain."
Buffy blinked and felt light headed. This was no little something; this was serious, deadly serious. "You mean…a tumor."
"Yes, dear, that is the term." Joyce sat on the edge of the bed and took her daughter's hands in her own. "Sweetie, it's really unlikely, but they don't want to take a chance, okay? Remember who you're dealing with here. I'll be fine!"
"I know you will," Buffy tried to sound reassuring in spite of the sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"By the way," Joyce sought to change the subject, "I got asked out to dinner."
Buffy's raised eyebrows gave away her surprise.
"What, you think I don't have 'it' anymore?" Joyce teased. "His name is Brian and he's completely human. I looked for wiring this time." She smiled at Buffy's slight blush.
"So…dinner, huh? Make him take you someplace expensive." Buffy wanted her mom happy and this Brian had better watch himself or he'd be answering to the Slayer.
"He's a real darling; you'll like him. He's a lawyer and is well on his way to making partner."
"Lawyer, huh? Thought you said he wasn't a demon." Buffy teased.
"I said lawyer, honey, not politician," Joyce quipped back. "So you see, nothing to worry about with this test. I've got too much to do yet for it to be anything serious. They'll look at the scan, see I have a normal brain, give me something for the headaches and send me home to torment you and Dawn."
Joyce watched from the kitchen window as Buffy finally gave in to the tears and fears. How strange that the comfort her daughter needed was coming from a gun-toting vampire awkwardly patting her back and offering silent support.
Heaven only knew what had caused the appearance of a shotgun. Buffy and Spike had a volatile relationship at best. One would think they were in a heated romance the way they fought yet kept coming back to one another again and again. That gave Joyce pause. True she really did like Spike but sensing the underlying attraction between Buffy and the vampire caused more concern than joy. Still there was no denying that they were evenly matched in strengths, and stubbornness too for that matter.
Seeing her strong, proud daughter turn her face into Spike's shoulder and give in to the wellspring of grief nearly broke her motherly heart. Just another reason the scan would have to show nothing but a normal brain: Buffy needed her no matter how strong she wanted to think herself. She needed her mother.

I have made some progress on the PF work. pf.ko can be loaded and unloaded (now even w/o panic, thanks to Aggelos) and I have updated pfctl to the version that comes with OpenBSD 4.1. So you can enable PF, load rules and view then and so on. All that works. What doesn't work at all at the moment is the actual filtering. Packets seem to pass through pf (evaluations counter is increased) but pf_test_tcp seems to always return PF_PASS. I have added a panic("debug") where I think the investigation should start. Aggelos has helped me a lot on this also but since I will be away for 2 weeks I would like to make my current status public. So anyone willing to look into it could do so. I might find the time to work a little bit on it until friday. I will keep you informed if I change anything on the tree before I leave.

Nice work but is there a reason why you choose such an old PF version (OpenBSD 4.1 was release in may 2007)?

Friday Recap: Positively Peachy Edition
Hi-ho! Welcome back to your favorite day of the work week. I can tell you're crushing it in the hours left, but take a load off for a hot minute and savor some recap.
Or don't and stay busy. Because busy equals happy, according to recent research. Unfortunately, our instinct is to idle. The researchers found that people report feeling happier when they've been busy, even doing tasks categorized as "futile busyness," and yet we're hard wired to try to save energy by doing nothing. Thanks a lot, evolution.
Evolution seems to have missed the mark on that one, which makes you wonder, is that the only case? One scientist says the ecosystem would remain in balance if one major pest were eliminated completely: mosquitoes. Yup, those disease-ridden itchy buggers could disappear from the planet and everything could go on unaffected. No mercy!
Here's another tricky joke played by Mother Nature. What do apples, barley, cassava root and lima beans have in common? Cyanide. Didn't know that you were dodging death with that peach, did you? Now you have a good excuse to tell mom when you pass on the lima beans.
I'll tell you something else I'll take a pass on: Facebook games. Or at least the constant notifications in my News Feed. I feel like every time I block one, another takes its place. One clever developer decided we might as well make the most of it — with another Facebook game! Touché.
If you've been following the back and forth of the USDA, NAACP, Tea Party, Shirley Sherrod debacle, you're probably as amazed as I am that the knee-jerk inducing media cycle has brought society to such a low point. (I know, it was a much simpler time when people would get all the facts before acting.) Just for a twist of added amusement, check out the opening line of Andrew Breitbart's post that unleashed the video: "Context is everything." Jaw, meet floor.
Hmm… that last paragraph probably came across as totally obscure if you haven't been following the saga. Of course, if "saga following" is your thing, you're probably at San Diego ComicCon right now! Susan's there, taking it all in along with 120,000 other fans. Fans who may or may not look like this guy that Tony Adam turned me on to. Though maybe "turned me on" is too strong a phrase… I'm inclined to think ComicCon attendees are way more put together than that. Look how impressive their impromptu counter-protest was!
Keep on with your heartfelt positivity, ComicCon! Meanwhile, on Twitter, are we positive or negative? There's some interesting sentiment analysis going on, seeking to judge the mood of the nation. Happy to report that on the West Coast, we're generally a happy bunch. As for the East Coast, well, not everyone gets sunshine all the time.
Stay cool out there this lovely summer weekend! I recommend eating lots of watermelon because it's delicious and hydrating. And kinda cozy, too.

Term Insurance or Whole Life Insurance?
By Jonas Zamora
March 13, 2007
Jonas Zamora is a Certified Financial PlannerTM professional. You may contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com
There are two main types of insurance – term and permanent/whole life insurance. For many, term insurance is a good route because it is the least expensive life insurance. Some folks like the many bells and whistles that go with permanent insurance along with life time coverage. Of course this makes whole life insurance more costly.
Term Insurance
Term insurance is the least expensive. Benefits are payable at death as long as it occurs during the term of the policy. Coverage is purchased at a specific price for a specific period – the length of period can range usually from one year to 30 years.
If you have certain expenses that need to be paid off during a certain period, term is the way to go. Such expenses, like your mortgage or college education for children, are great examples of this. Let's say you have a 15-year mortgage and your debt is $250,000. You may consider a 15-year policy to protect your family for the amount you owe. Same thing if you have young children. Match up the amount of insurance you buy with your expected tuition bill. Keep in mind that you must adjust today's college expenses for inflation.
Remember that term insurance is inexpensive because your coverage lasts for a limited time and there is no investment component. The money you save by purchasing term instead of whole life, however, could always go into your own investment account or disability insurance.
Whole life/Permanent Insurance
Permanent or whole life insurance is more expensive and it covers you whether you die today or when you're....

Home Insurance
Over the last decade, the inflation cost of construction has far outpaced other sectors of the economy. If your homeowner insurance policy has not kept pace, you may have a coverage gap to be concerned about. Additionally, property owners create another coverage shortage by not advising their agent about additions and alteration upgrades. Most homeowner insurance policies contain clauses requiring an Insured to notify the agent and or insurance company when a renovation or addition increases the property replacement cost. The company is only obligated to pay up to the replacement cost of the documented square footage. You, as the homeowner, would have to make up the difference.

Talent management is an initiative that has gathered momentum of late with many organisations even getting their very own Hughie Green or Simon Cowell on board. Being spotted in the workplace might be more a case of "we think you demonstrated outstanding leadership last week" rather than "we think you could be the next Charlize Theron/Jonny Wilkinson/Alicia Keyes" but nevertheless it's not to be sniffed at. It could mean a salary hike.
You might already be getting twitchy and wondering what the spotters are looking for. Or else you might be worrying that the reason you haven't been called in is because your performance isn't up to scratch. Could be that your place of work hasn't got its act together yet and talent is still very much on the back burner. But don't despair.
Talent spotting at work is something well worth investigating - the least you can do is find out whether such a scheme exists. To get you started, here are some tips on how to be the talent that everybody wants and, more importantly, how to be the star that shines the brightest.
What is talent? "We define talented employees as 'those who are delivering exceptional performance at present' ," says Susannah Pringle, Partner at TalentMax, a specialist talent and career management consultancy. "And those who are recognised as having the future potential to continue to deliver exceptional performance as they assume greater responsibility in their organisations," she says. Could mean more work then.
Anything else? "Talent is measured along three core dimensions," continues Ms Pringle. Performance: how successfully is an individual performing in his or her current position. Potential: does this individual have the potential to progress within the organisation and would they be selected if the right promotion was available? Strategic fit: which incorporates values and cultural alignment and customer/employee feedback on how they do their job. Talented individuals will score highly on all three dimensions," she says.
Open or closed shop? Can anyone join the talent pool? You need to find out. "Ask your manager whether there's a talent programme in place and whether it's open or closed," suggests John Ingham at Penna, an HR consultancy.
Why now? "The shape of talent management has morphed over the past couple of years," explains Mr Ingham. "Organisations are preparing for growth in the future and investing in leadership and talent management. It's less about recruitment and more about development of key people," he adds.
Go metric: "You need to identify what constitutes 'exceptional performance' within your organisation," advises Ms Pringle. "Discover what performance metrics are used and what the criteria are for designating whether people are high, acceptable or low performers," she says.
Is it wearing a disguise? "If you are in a firm that does not have a talent management programme, lobby for one to be introduced," suggests Ms Pringle. "It may well be that your organisation does have an enlightened approach to people development but has not branded and communicated its strategies under the talent management banner," she says.
Become special: If you are spotted, or if you manage to gain entry to the talent pool, you will be treated as special. Mr Ingham cites a Penna client - a high street bank - where 20 individuals have been selected for a "high potential programme". They remain in the general organisational structure but are being groomed for future leadership. Special treatment includes coaching, 360 feedback, international experience and all round development.
Raise your profile: "You can boost your 'talent profile by internal networking, volunteering for assignments, joining project teams, relocating, networking, public speaking, writing or contributing to articles and joining industry associations," says Susannah Pringle. By which time you'll be so knackered that if your talents haven't been brought to a wider audience you should try bursting into tears. It always works when you want attention. Or have a strop. Then find another job.
Be a master: "Successful employees are those who are the proactive masters of their own career destinies," observes Ms Pringle. To put it another way, putting your feet up and coasting along are not part of becoming top talent.
Be a good all rounder: "Invest in self development to keep your skills, talents and knowledge up to date," urges Ms Pringle. "And technical brilliance needs to be accompanied by social skills - networking, relationship management, political awareness and personal branding. In the words of the Fun Boy Three song: T'ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it - that's what gets results," she says.
Anything else you'd like to ask? Next time you go for an interview ask if the new company has a talent management programme in place. It's bound to impress them.
Be indispensable: Funny old fashioned word that. Indispensable. Doesn't really have much pulling power in today's fluid workplace. Never theless, you can still sharpen up skills and smarten up your act and generally be as good as you possibly can at what you do. And take pride in your job. That sounds old fashioned, too. But that alone is likely to get you noticed.
Don't be jealous: If you're not as talented as you'd like to be, don't despair. The person at the next desk might be popping out for all kinds of goodies - workshops and massages and the like. But the generous spirited approach is to enjoy the feelgood factor that comes from being in an organisation that cares enough to want to nurture and retain talent.
Don t be talented: "You can be very valuable to an organisation but not necessarily regarded as talent," encourages Mr Ingham.
Become green with envy: Envy can motivate. Rather than sit back and think "I never get past the first audition", use the jealousy you experience when your more talented co-workers go off for their first session with a coach to spur you on to greater things. As Mr Ingham says: "There has to be an entry and exit mechanism. You need to take people out as well as put them in so that you're progressively raising the bar on the talent pool. Otherwise this thing grows like topsy."

So here we are again, Meredith and Derek are still apart, but haven't decided if they're done. Except I thought they were pretty over at the end of last season. Way to make it feel like this show is treading water.
The double loss of Isaiah Washington and Kate Walsh is definitely felt. A scene in the beginning even makes light of it when Derek asks Miranda to go out for a drink because all his friends are gone.
Seems like something else is gone, too, and that would be the fun. The initial romance of M&D kept people watching. Now, that's gone, replaced by wild medical cases that are stolen from bad, late-season "ER" episodes. When's a helicopter going to take off someone's arm?
Though the annoying voiceover talks about change, this show seems unwilling to really change. It's stuck in the same tailspin it was in at the end of last season. The introduction of Meredith's half-sister Lexi offers hope and she is the only character that seems to break a smile in the whole season premiere. Anybody else disappointed?

Flash Forward Tv Show Hopes For Bright Future
In just a bit than a month, ABC will be premiering over ten new fall shows you. Just some of these shows include CougarTown, Hank, The Middle, The Deep End, Eastwick, and Fast Forward. These new shows can be found in addition to regulars including Grey's Anatomy, Dancing With the Stars, and Desperate Housewives. I normally do not watch many shows on ABC during the week, but I've tuned in to a few shows including Desperate Housewives and Dwts. I just may give some of these new shows a test.
The to begin these new shows to obtain a shot is Flash Forward, which will kill time for Lost fans until their final season. Flash Forward is the most overt similarities to Lost, with two Lost cast members on the show, a familiar title, and glimpses at upcoming.
Shakespeare for each other ~ joseph fiennes ultimas noticias plays an alarmingly sexy William Shakespeare in this particular one. His life is falling apart and he's under the gun when he of course falls in love, which inspires him to write Romeo & Juliet. Plenty of steaminess right.
What Dreams May Come ~ From birth, we women want to find themselves the man who might be that extra mile for us. The man who will love us and protect us and not let any obstacle get in the approach. We want a king to wisk us outside. Ok most females want this. (let's just discount the Gloria Steinham contingent right there are many bat.) This movie shows a man willing to be able to to the ends of the earth. and beyond. for the love of his lifetime. Robin Williams, Annabella Sciorra, Cuba Gooding, JR.
Because on this somewhat split personality, the Gemini will ever try anything. Mention a hobby that would likely have never even considered, like stamp collecting and they're going to be in the post office the next day to start their group. They may be tired of it by that evening, but they'll still give it a shot. There is almost nothing they won't do. Certainly this bring about some big problems as sometimes this eagerness to purchase anything and everything will land them in situations that are far from good. The Gemini might get into serious trouble within a heartbeat.
Quirky Romance #10: Moulin Rouge, 2001, A musical using popular 20th century music and starring a who's who of Hollywood, Moulin Rouge tells tale became media frenzy of poet who falls for a courtesan who's promised together with duke. The cast is populated by narcoleptics, midgets and several eccentric performers hoping additional medications . their dreams come true at the Moulin Vermeil. I love the way popular music is woven through tale became media frenzy. I was impressed by the vocal talents of Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. And I used to totally immersed in their love deal.
At the workplace, the Gemini needs many mental challenges to keep him interested on opportunities report. Because of his fickle nature, he tends to get bored very easily. Also, something that challenged him yesterday isn't likely to challenge him the next day. By that time the challenge is gone and he needs a new one. That's why the Gemini will often gravitate to fields which usually very technical in nature like scientific research. Looking for a remedy for cancer is the best thing for your Gemini.
