Hey fishos just a quick report this week. Covering lake levels and a few reports.
Lake Eildon:
51.84% up 1.99% this week
Lake Hume:
78.79% up 5.24% this week
William hovell:
101.63% down 1.44% this week
Lake Nillahcootie:
92.04% up 5.72% this week
Lake Dartmouth:
55.35% up 0.85% this week
Waranga Basin:
86.17% down 0.47% this week
Lake Buffalo:
64.64% down 5.43% this week.
Eildon is still rising well, a bit dirty but fishers are still catching them. Jan and I fish Eildon Sunday Monday with jan catching 2 cod around 60cm, great condition. Caught on a lime green stump jumper,And we both caught a couple of small Redfin each. Other locals had some success of the trout, mostly flatlining green/gold, orange and white tassie devils. Most fish were between 30-44cm but where in better condition than recent times.
Lake Hume:
Much the same as Eildon rising really well but the water is also a little dirty. Some anglers persisting are catching some cracking browns to 7.5lb!!! Tassies like brown bomber, pretty fish, Canberra killer and corroboree frog are catching them. Redfin are about but same as the trout persistence is required. Bait fishing the trees are the best way to catch them just using worms.
A few locals have spent the weekend up there for some great results. Down rigging a red nose bomber down 30- 45ft is consistently catching trout. Also 4-5 colours of lead core or a paravane on the second hole from the front. Cowbells and worms during the day has also claimed a few fish. Most fishers are in the main basin and 8 mile so you don't have to travel to far. Biggest I have heard is a 4.2lb brown and a 3.9lb both on the downrigger.
Just a quick reminder for boaters. Just be careful when motoring around the lakes as there is a lot of floating sticks and logs around,the last thing you want is to lose a prop or leg of the motor.
The weekend weather wise is looking ok, a little bit of wind and a few squalls but overall ok. But always check on the net before you head out as the weather is never 100% predictable.

Welcome to the Kentucky Native Plant and Wildlife Blog.
Welcome to the Kentucky Native Plant and Wildlife Blog.
The purpose of this blog is to provide information on using native plants in the landscape, issues related to invasive exotic plants, urban wildlife management, and wildlife damage management. It is my intention that this information will assist you in deciphering the multitude of information circulating around the web and condense in some meaningful method as it relates to Kentucky. In addition, I hope to highlight a native plant that can be used in the landscape.
Monday, July 15, 2013
Plant of the Week: Halberd-leaved rose mallow or smooth rose mallow (Hibiscus laevis)
This native perennial gets its name from the arrow or halberd shaped leaves that occur on this species that is common pretty much across the entire state of Kentucky. It does best and is found naturally near wetlands, streams, ponds, and other moist soil habitats, but does just fine in the garden. If you are planting in a wet area, be aware this species can literally take over the entire habitat. Of course there are worse things than having a 4 to 6' tall showy plant with up to 6" wide hollyhock like flowers that range from white to pink to red (and yes I have seen all color forms in Kentucky). The 5 petaled flowers have a deep maroon center with a very prominent staminal column. The plant has a deep taproot but it spreads easily via seed. I recommend cutting this species back in the fall of the year to maintain a more horticultural appearance. This species is pollinated by bumblebees and an oligoletic (means specializing on pollinating one species or groups of species of plants) bee that also feeds on wild morning glories. The plant also serves as a host for gray hairstreak butterflies (buds and seeds), painted lady and checkered skippers (foliage) and some moths including the pearly wood nymph, Io, and Delightful bird-dropping moth. Unfortunately Japanese beetles will eat this plant and deer will also consume the non-toxic foliage as well. However, this is a much better replacement in the landscape than the exotic Rose of Sharon bush, which is invasive.

2. In preparation for PY19 Selection Board season, the following information is provided for
planning purposes only. Many personnel management decisions are still being finalized
including PY19 zone sizes, numbers to select, opportunities of selection, controlled grade
authorizations, etc. Actual zone sizes will be published once all personnel decisions have been
made. Signal Numbers (SIGNO) noted below are from the 2018 Register of Officers available on
the OPM Portal website and internet at https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-
3. For planning purposes, the following Active Duty Promotion List (ADPL) officers may be
considered by a Selection Board and may not delay their regularly scheduled OER:

Note 2: Temporary lieutenants competing for promotion to CWO3 and CWO4 cannot delay
their annual 31MAY18 OER (applies to CWO to LT only).
5. OERs for all officers should arrive at CG PSC NLT 45 days after the end of period (EOP) date
to provide ample opportunity for review, corrections (when required), validation and entry into
an officer's official record. Rating chain members are reminded to ensure that the correct forms
(CG-Form 5310 A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H Revision 01/18; CG-Form 5315, Revision 01/17) are used.
Current forms and revisions are found via CG Portal at https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/psc/psc-
opm/opm-3/SitePages/Home.aspx. Use of the OER forms from the forms library is imperative as
certain features inherent to the form background are critical for proper processing. Overtyping
previous forms may cause delay in validation due to technical errors. ADPL OER submissions
route to OPM-3 at email@example.com and IDPL OER submissions route to RPM-1
at firstname.lastname@example.com. OERs for board or panel candidates should be marked
"URGENT: BOARD/PANEL CANDIDATE" and include the ROO's last name in the subject
line to ensure priority review.
6. Those officers listed above may not delay an OER when it would normally be required.
However, if an officer's OER is optional (e.g., they recently completed an OER for change in
Reporting Officer), then they should consider submitting an OER if the next required report
(e.g., detachment of officer, etc.), cannot be delivered to CG PSC-RPM-1 or CG PSC-OPM-3
45-days before the Selection Board or Panel meets. This ensures enough time for CG PSC to get
the OER into the record prior to the Selection Board or Panel.
7. Two important items to remember:
a. Ensigns going before the Nov18 ADPL LTJG Board have a 30SEP18 end of period and
rating chains shall ensure OER submissions reach PSC no later than 31OCT18. This is less than
the normal 45-day timeframe the rating chain has for other OERs.
b. Lieutenants (junior grade) above and in zone (ADPL and IDPL) must have a current OER
ending on or before 30JUN18 vice 31JUL18 to ensure enough time to complete the validation
process and enter the OER into officer records.
8. As outlined in Article 5.E.6 of Ref B, regular OERs may be submitted for officers being
considered by Selection Panels or Selection Boards for promotion, extension, retention, or
continuation. The period of report must be at least 92 days for a semiannual submission, 184
days for an annual submission, and 184 days for biennial submission. The OER must arrive at
CG PSC no later than 45 days before the Board or Panel convening date. Other OER
occasion of reports shall not be delayed past the normal submission months to complete a Non-
regular OER. Extensions will not be granted.
9. Reserve Officers on Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS) or Involuntary Active Duty
must follow procedures outlined in Ref A.
10. Officers assigned to Duty Under Instruction (DUINS) who are in or above zone for
promotion shall follow the regular DUINS submission schedule. All DUINS OER submissions,
regardless of pay grade, are annual and end on 30 June (exception: detachment of officer). The
period of report shall not exceed 18 months, this includes ensign and lieutenant (junior grade)
11. An OER period of report cannot exceed 18 months for annual reports, 12 months for
semiannual reports (except ensign and lieutenant (junior grade) DUINS OERs), or 30 months for
IDPL biennial reports. Waivers from this requirement will not be granted.
12. Officers eligible for consideration by Boards and Panels should review their Electronically
Imaged - Personnel Data Record (EI-PDR), for accuracy:
a. Employee Summary Sheet (ESS): The ESS is routinely used by Boards and Panels and
draws information from Direct Access. Officers should ensure correctness and completeness by
updating Direct Access well before the convening date of the applicable Board or Panel.
b. Officer Specialty Management System (OSMS): Officer Specialty Codes (OSC) appear on
an officer's ESS and Ref C details the application process for assigning/deleting specialty codes.
Local Servicing Personnel Offices are not authorized to assign OSCs to an officer's record. As
per Ref's B and E, Specialty Considered Selections may be used, so it is important candidates
ensure their OSC's are accurate and updated. While PSC-OPM-3 works to process applications
as quickly as possible, as per policy, it could take up to 60 days, so members are advised to
submit their applications early to ensure a timely completion in advance of their board. For more
information on OSMS visit PSC-OPM-3 portal page below. Additionally, all candidates
applications should be marked "URGENT: BOARD/PANEL CANDIDATE" to ensure priority
c. Electronically Imaged – Personal Data Record (EI-PDR) Copies: Requests for copies of a
member's EI-PDR must be in writing via standard CG memo to PSC Military Records. OPM-3
and RPM-1 ensure OERs are validated and sent off for imaging into an officer's record, but do
not verify the record is imaged. We highly recommend candidates confirm their record is
complete. Verbal and e-mail requests will not be accepted. Please visit
http://www.uscg.mil/psd/mr for further information on how to receive a copy of your EI-PDR.
Recommend requests for copies of EI-PDRs be made at least 3 months in advance of a Selection
Board or Panel convening date. It is the member's responsibility to ensure their record is
complete. All missing documents sent to Military Records should indicate "URGENT: BOARD
CANDIDATE" in the email subject line.
13. The Record of Professional Development (CG-4082), while optional, is an extremely helpful
tool for communicating accomplishments. The emphasis should be on quality, not quantity, of
information. Each officer should review their current CG-4082 with the following
a. The form should not be used to capture information already found on the CGBI Employee
Summary Sheet (ESS). This includes but is not limited to educational degrees, officer specialty
codes, and CG qualifications, etc.
b. The form is a living document; only one copy should be maintained in a member's EI-PDR.
If a member submits a new CG-4082, previous CG-4082 forms will be removed from the
member's EI-PDR. Members are advised to request a copy of their EI-PDR to review previous
CG-4082's prior to submitting an updated form to ensure all applicable items are carried
c. When documenting education accomplishments and/or certifications not already on the ESS,
use the CG-4082 to provide basic information such as the name of the course, the institution
attended and, if applicable, the grade or GPA. It is strongly recommended officers document all
significant education, training and professional certifications/licenses on a CG-4082 that are not
captured on the member's ESS.
d. For additional information or questions regarding the CG-4082 contact CG PSC-OPM-4
at email@example.com.
14. For additional information regarding OER submission requirements, contact CG PSC-OPM-
3 (ADPL officers) or CG PSC-RPM-1 (IDPL officers) or visit
https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/psc/SitePages/Home.aspx for links to OPM-3 and RPM-1.

They didn't score a try but the Crusaders snatched a rare Super Rugby away victory over the Chiefs
April 19, 2014 Leave a comment
They didn't score a try but the Crusaders snatched a rare Super Rugby away victory over the Chiefs in Hamilton last night on the back of Colin Slade's boot.
In front of 17,097 at Waikato Stadium Slade kicked his sixth penalty goal in the 71st minute to seal an 18-17 victory.
That closed the Crusaders within three points of the New Zealand Conference-leading Chiefs on the points table.
With the final hooter having sounded the Chiefs had one last shot at trying to wrest back the lead, but they had to do it from inside their own 22.
Standout fullback Tom Marshall led the breakout and patienceruled as they worked their way up to halfway before a ruck penaltygave Anscombe a 51 metre shot at winning the game.
But the ball dropped just under the crossbar and the Crusaders celebrated their first victory in Hamilton since July 2012.
The first half had it all and while the Crusaders gained a slight edge in a mistake-ridden opening quarter, the Chiefs ground their way back into the match in the second 20 minutes as the rain started to fall to lead 17-9 at the break.
With both goal-kickers deadly from all angles and distances it was something of a penalty shootout for a while, Colin Slade banging overall three of his attempts to Gareth Anscombe's one in the first 15 minutes.
Both teams took turns at stringing together multiple phase attacks only to turn the ball over and find themselves back down the other end, but when big Crusaders lock laid out Chiefs No8 Liam Squire with a shoulder charge, referee Garratt Williamson ordered up a replay on the big screen and issued a yellow card to Bird in the 28th minute.
That was the break the home side were seeking, Anscombe kicking his second penalty goal and within nine minutes his third and fourth to put the Chiefs ahead 12-9 before the Crusaders second rower was able to get back from the sin-bin.But with both defences cancelling each other out in something of a stalemate for much of the half the second break for the Chiefs came inthe final minute before halftime.
As Williamson played another penalty advantage, having warned the visitors for persistent infringing in their own red zone, 21-year-oldhooker Rhys Marshall ran right to a big blindside off a ruck and a slick pass put his namesake, fullback Tom Marshall, outside Crusaders No8 Jordan Taufua.
The fullback then gassed it straight between halfback Willi Heinz and
fullback Israel Dagg to score, Anscombe just missing the wide-angled conversion attempt to end the half.
The first 40 minutes were marred by three players leaving the fieldfor concussion tests – Squire, Crusaders skipper Kieran Read andChiefs halfback Tawera Kerr-Barlow.
Squire and Kerr-Barlow returnedbut were replaced at halftime, while Read never returned.
The Chiefs came out breathing fire and brimstone after the break and put together 25 phases to hammer the Crusaders' line, but again thedefence held and eventually forced an error.
Instead it was Slade who provided the half's first points with hisfourth penalty goal in the 50th minute but a mad-headed moment by the Chiefs, rushing when they didn't have to was not punished when Slade hit an upright with his fifth kick at goal and the home team broke out.
Fourteen minutes later in the 66th minute he struck the woodwork again, but the Chiefs' indiscipline kept feeding him chances and two more Slade penalty goals put the Crusaders in front 18-17 with nine minutes left to play.
And then the last-minute drama played out with Anscombe's forlornlong-range attempt at goal.
Crusaders 18 (Colin Slade 6 pens) Chiefs 17 (Tom Marshalltry; Gareth Anscombe 4 penalty goals). HT: 9-17.

A male suspect fled from a vehicle and police followed him to Kilson Drive where an officer shot his firearm at 5:56 p.m. No one was hit and the suspect was later arrested.
The male suspect has not been identified.
Coleman said the circumstances under which the officer fired his gun are currently unknown.
The investigation is ongoing.

The count of Masters degrees with program titles related to Data Science and Analytics may suggest the maturity of a tech ecosystem…and where large tech companies are more likely to invest.
In compiling a list of post-secondary programs across Canada, we see that both (the provinces of) BC and Ontario have several Masters' level programs that reference "Data", "Data Science", or "Analytics". By comparison, Alberta currently has no Masters level programs identified as such.
Interestingly, Toronto, Ontario has made it on the shortlist of Amazon's bid competition for its second head office in North America. And Vancouver, BC just announced that Amazon will generate 3,000 new jobs in that city related to e-commerce, cloud and machine learning.
These profiles below help compare the 3 provinces. They are derived from a data dashboard on the subject. Feel free to take a look and explore for yourself.
Pertaining to Data Science and Analytics Programs in Canada – April 2018:
Alberta: 0 Masters Programs
British Columbia (BC): 4 Masters Programs
Ontario: 8 Masters Programs

Seeing The Younis peace be upon him in the dream Interpretation
Seeing The Younis peace be upon him in the dream Interpretation by Shykh abdul ghani nabalsi Younis peace be upon him:Whom he saw in a dream, it is bestowed in a hurry from the prison or narrow, or they are, then survive after that and enjoyed for a while. Be irritable and quick satisfaction.
Dream interpretation by Ibne serin
Jonah: (God's prophet Yunus, upon whom be peace.) Seeing God's prophet Jonah (uwbp) in a dream means making a hasty decision that will lead one to prison and tight circumstances. He will then be released to enjoy his life for a while along with a group of bewildered people. He also will be emotional, impulsive, easy to get angry and easy to please. Dream Interpretation in Islam

Over the past couple of years, I've been struggling with anxiety - in a pretty intense way at times. As anyone who has experienced this level of anxiety knows, it feels awful and all-consuming. Your thoughts go into overdrive and the feeling of fear is pervasive.
When I examine anxiety, it is essentially a strong feeling of fear about the future. It's the fear of an anticipated negative outcome. It's a sense of impending doom. It's related to intolerance of uncertainty and the unknown. In my experience, it is a discomfort with not knowing what's going to happen. People, like me, with anxiety try to control situations with the hope that they will turn out favourably. This is an absolutely futile endeavour as we all know that it is impossible to control every aspect of what happens to us. Often, trying to control things simply results in living very small. We choose to stay within defined boundaries that we feel we can control. We don't take chances. We don't stretch ourselves. We remain firmly within our comfort zones. Maybe nothing bad happens in this safe zone, but likely nothing really good does either. Then one day, if something bad does happen, we're thrown completely out of sorts. How could something bad have happened when we worked so hard to protect ourselves and avoid negativity?? Clearly, this is an ineffective strategy for living life.
I've always wanted to be a person who had faith that things in my life would turn out as they're supposed to. You know, I wanted to believe that "things happen for a reason", "what's meant to be, will be" and "what's for you, you will get" and all those other lovely adages we often hear. But when anxiety would strike, panic ensued and all those sayings flew out of the window. I didn't know how to truly believe that the Universe had my back.
I recently attended a course at One World Academy in India. I felt pulled to go there and looking back, I think I was seeking a way to feel this trust and faith that have always eluded me. While at OWA, I experienced this feeling of trust so deeply on a couple of occasions. Like I really felt it to my core, not just in my head. The feelings of peace and joy that accompanied the sense of trust were so profound and so beautiful. Words cannot describe how healing and calming that sense of peace was. I was actually brought to tears. For anyone who has experienced the incessant spiraling of scary thoughts that anxiety brings, you will understand how miraculous and amazing it felt to have stillness in my mind and an absence of fear.
Now that I've tasted the beauty of that experience, I am committed to cultivating trust in my life. When I speak of trust, I mean trust in God, in the Universe, in myself, in others and in the process. I'm almost scared to write all of this because I don't want to jinx myself! It's what Brené Brown refers to as foreboding joy. I'm in a good place now, but I'm almost scared to be happy about it because what if the other shoe drops and this all goes away and I'm back to not trusting and living in fear? Well, I'm going to be bold and take the foreboding out of the joy and just experience it purely. I've learned that this is all a process and things are always changing. So I'm just going to focus on the joy and peace that I'm feeling now and not worry about how I'll feel tomorrow. I'll continue to practice what I've learned to be able to live in more beautiful states in my life. But I'll also try not to panic in times when anxiety shows up on my doorstep.
I'm starting 2018 off with the intention to cultivate trust in my life, in addition to the peace and joy that accompany it. I hope with all my heart that 2018 will be a very happy year for us all and that you will focus on the intentions that will bring you all that you're craving in your life.
Much love,

Kenny's Tip of the Day - Learn to Appreciate ALL Types of Music
As kids, we tend to find one type of music that really moves us. Whether it be Hip Hop, Rap or even Jazz or Metal. We gravitate towards this style and later in life we may even specialize in Producing, Engineering and Mixing just this style of music. And it's great to specialize. Don't get me wrong.
But I believe it's also important to "appreciate" other successful music. Whether it be Pop. Country. Whatever.
Study it. Why is it good? Why does it move other people even if it doesn't move you?
If it's a style of music that has ANY kind of a fanbase then it does serve a purpose. Maybe not for you. But you can still learn why and possibly apply it to your music and your style or genre. Maybe combine styles. Or just a piece of Hip Hop added to your Metal track.
It's important that you learn to appreciate all types of music to broaden your experience but more importantly to understand what moves an audience. You'll find that it's not really that different from genre to genre. There will be certain things that remain the same. Most genres have a Snare drum that plays on the 2 and 4 for example.
So change it up once in awhile. Think different. Learn something while figuring out how to appreciate ALL types of music.

The Kansas Elks Training Center for the Handicapped (KETCH) was one of four grant recipients selected to benefit from the CJ Memorial Golf Tournament held this past September. The $4,000 KETCH was awarded will be used towards the purchase of an $11,000 four-post vehicle lift.
The vehicle lift will be used by the automotive mechanics in the maintenance department to provide critical maintenance of the transportation department's fleet of vehicles. With thousands of round trips to persons with disabilities within Sedgwick County annually, reliable transportation services is often a crucial element in the success of adults with developmental disabilities served.
"I am very grateful for the support KETCH has received from the CJ Memorial over the past several years," said Ron Pasmore, president/CEO.
The golf tournament is a fundraiser held by the CJ Memorial Foundation, founded by Frank Seitz in memory of his son, CJ Seitz. CJ attended the KETCH PACE program prior to his passing just a few years ago. The funds raised are awarded to organizations that were dear to CJ. Other award recipients include the Derby Free Spirits, Rainbows United, and the ARC of Sedgwick County.

Poetry - The Life and Thoughts of Zach — LiveJournal
Apr. 4th, 2005
03:49 pm - Poetry
So apparently it is national poetry month.
I've never been a huge poetry guy. I LOVE good poetry when it finds it's way to me but I never really sought it out. But when I was in high school I was always on the prowl for powerful things to scrawl on public places. I wanted the perfect quotes to write on bathroom walls or inside my textbooks or in the Babbel Books. They were little bits of anonymous enlightenment, runes to give the world of the bathroom stall meaning and beauty. Tolfink carved these runes on this stone.
I was obsessed for a while with a certain e.e. cummings poem. It is probably the only poem I've ever memorized. I could write it anywhere any time. I got it from a Babbel Book or a conversation with a friend or something. Someone else was inspired by it first. That's how inspiration was for me at that age, I kind of glommed on to other people's wonderment and got obsessed with it.
1(a le af fa ll s) one l iness
This was the first time I'd seen that the form/structure of words on paper, not just their syntax and semantics and implication and context, but their physical form, can have meaning and implication and provide context. It all maybe seems trivial now but it was a big deal when I was a Freshman in high school, so forgive me if I start talking about concepts in this poem that are simply obvious at first glance to you. (And apologies to duck2ducks if it was him that came up with some of these interpretations, I don't even remember the difference anymore between what I was taught about this poem and what I came up with on my own and what I read in a Babbel Book and whether you had anything to do with it or not.)
Basic text: "a leaf falls. loneliness." There's some action and there's a mood. There's a huge recurring pattern of ones. The entire poem looks like a numeral 1. The initial el ("l") in lonliness is replaced by a numeral one ("1"). The substring "one" in loneliness is made to stand out as is the second el (which has already been established as interchangable with the numeral). And finally there is 'iness'. Oneness or "I-ness". All those ones could be "I", ego, self. Is it interesting that the final "i" is lower case? A reduction of ego as "I" finds "oneness" with lonely nature? The parentheses show the sideways curve of the falling leaf twisting in the wind. The parenthetical phrase "(a leaf falls)" interupts the loneliness. I've seen this poem called "a leaf falls on loneliness" but I think it's more like "a leaf falls in loneliness". The falling leaf doesn't become lonely, it happens in the context of loneliness, interupting it, if only briefly. Does this create a transition from "loneliness" to "oneliness"? The leaf, which only falls in the autumn, a time of great change, provides the stark Zen "aha" moment of enlightenment: I am not alone. I am not separate from the leaf. Myself, my loneliness, and the falling leaf are all one. And the spacing is like breathing and air and wind. The fluttering leaf does not fall straight down, it lingers, wafts, drifts to the solid ground of "iness" (the longest and lowest string in the poem). As it falls the loneliness and the reader are breathing, waiting, and experiencing together.
It was the perfect poem for the transition between 8th grade and high school. In 8th grade I was very depressed about being very alone. I didn't really have identity yet in 8th grade. I started forming that with the Babbel crowd. Initially the "angstiness" of this poem's solitude (not to mention the falling...falling is bad, like death, right?) was what attracted me to it. It wasn't until I started to find some basic meaning for myself that I started to see the poem not as angsty but as describing a sort of transcendental enlightenment moment in nature (the leaf may fall, but that's part of a larger change that ultimately represents growth).
Thinking about the poem now, I am geekily reminded of my favorite construction from Mathematics. Assume that there is nothing that we know about but the empty set. Assume that there is nothing but nothingness in the universe, "0". Well how many concepts are there in the universe are there then? There is 1: the concept of nothingness. So now you have "1". So how many things do you have, well you have "nothingness" and you have "1". That's 2 things. So now you have "2". And so on. So by simply assuming the existence of nothingness you have the existence of an infinite number of "counting numbers". Once you've got counting numbers you've got negative numbers and fractions and ultimately you even have the real numbers. Infinity is a lot more than 0. The number of real numbers is a lot more than the infinite number of counting numbers. That's a lot of stuff packed into a little lonely bit of nothingness. Interestingly with as many more real numbers as there are than counting numbers (a whole lot!) we only have names and a special use for about 2 of the trancendental real numbers (the part of the real numbers that can't be assigned to counting numbers), pi and e. Huh. There sure is a lot we don't comprehend, even though we contain it all within ourselves, simply by containing nothing.
I managed to figure out the words in the poem prior to reading your explanation (which surprised me, 'cause I'm not usually good at that). And I got the image of the falling leaf briefly interrupting the loneliness.
Your description is more in depth, but my reaction was very similar.
I'm thinking that someone might indeed have put that poem in one of the Babbels as you suggest, as I recognize it too and I've read only a couple of e.e. poems. But yeah - I also really love it. Amazing how much can be creatively packed into so small of a space.
I know it wasn't taught to me in class but I might have found it by reading ahead. Or someone else might have found it by reading ahead and put it in there.
It's all a blur to me.
nearly all the work i did in college, both grad and undergrad, was in poetry.
And you are, as always, the extreme hotness for knowing stuff about poetry. :)
it's a novel experience. thank you. :)
i might have to go lay down for a while now.
Does the tree release the leaf, or does the leaf release the tree?
*hugs* it's been too long since we've talked i should bother you online

D.C. forum discusses rising poverty, unemployment
Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Census Bureau released last week a devastating statistic: nearly half of all Americans are living in poverty or near poverty.
While the finding barely made its way into the media, and has yet to be seriously discussed by any of the 2012 presidential candidates, Tavis Smiley and Cornel West have made it their mission to bring poverty back onto the national agenda.
To cap their nationwide poverty tour, the duo hosted a forum last week in Washington, D.C., "Remaking America: From Poverty to Prosperity," which featured filmmaker Michael Moore, author Barbara Ehrenreich, personal finance guru Suze Orman and veteran organizers Majora Carter, Roger Clay and Vicki Escarra.
Smiley kicked off the discussion, which was broadcast live on C-SPAN, with the newest Census figures on poverty.
One in two Americans is either in poverty or near poverty," he said. "If you add three categories together, the perennially poor, the new poor and the near poor, you're talking over 150 million Americans."
Ehrenreich, the author of "Nickel and Dimed," was quick to respond.
"It's been an idea out there for a long time that 'the poor' are some kind of special group, that they're out there somewhere," she said. "We need to face the fact that we're not talking about someone else — we're talking about almost half of Americans struggling."
According to a new report released by Indiana University, the numbers of those living in poverty are at their highest since 1993, and have steadily increased each year since 2006.
And while the economic downturn has affected nearly all Americans in some way, it has had disproportionate impact on African Americans, Hispanics, children and female-headed households. The report also shows that the percentage of working poor is also increasing — 60 percent of all poor families have at least one person working.
Roger Clay, president of the Insight Center for Community Economic Development in Oakland, Calif., pointed out that while the economic downturn may be new for the country, African Americans have always been living in a recession.
The national unemployment rate hangs around 8 percent, he said, but only once in the past 40 years has the black unemployment rate dipped that low. "Blacks have been unemployed for a long time," he said. "If it doesn't hit the white community, it doesn't exist."
Turning to the structural nature of poverty, West said in his characteristic grandiose language: "[On the poverty tour] We saw the results of a system in place that has been driven by corporate greed at the top, with oligarchs ruling and politicians rotating, with money coming from the big banks, big corporations, pushing working people to the margins and rendering poor people superfluous."
West also called on the audience to become "poverty abolitionists," explaining that like slavery and segregation, poverty is one of the defining challenges of the day.
Ehrenreich added to this, saying, "The whole system is rigged so that if you start to spiral down, you're going to spiral faster. There's no ladder going up — there's a greased chute going down."
She also questioned the criminalization of poverty, offering the example that when a person applies for food stamps, his or her information is automatically given to the criminal justice system.
Moore, meanwhile, took on American politicians. "They're not leaders, they're followers — they follow the money," he said, and encouraged listeners to go after the "puppet masters," not just the "puppets" in order to restore a democracy "hanging on by its last one or two threads."
The activist filmmaker also begged President Obama to adopt a more aggressive approach toward domestic poverty. "You have the opportunity to be the Roosevelt of the 21st century," he said.
While most speakers called for sweeping changes to the political and economic order, Orman argued for individual education and incremental change. Without understanding how the financial system works in this country, she said, "you are setting yourself up to be a victim to a system that wants you to fail." She also explained that she is fighting the way credit scores are calculated, and wants to create a system in which cash and debit payments contribute to FICO scores, not just credit.
Carter and Escarra also offered solutions stemming from their own experiences. Carter, known for "greening the ghetto" in the South Bronx, New York, suggested green jobs would address the twin problems of environmental degradation and poverty, while Escarra, president of Feeding America, explained that alleviating the hunger faced by 50 million Americans today would help lift some of the burden off the poor. "Hunger is one solvable problem," she said.
Echoing Occupy Wall Street, Moore offered a list of solutions that gained the most applause of the night.
"Tax the rich, end the wars, take the money out of politics, corporations are not people," he said. "And I want to say this to the one percent who might be watching — how many gated communities can you build?"

Banyak cara teknik black hat SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION yang saya perhatikan selama 5 tahun dan setiap kali Google memperbaharui algoritma pencariannya, website-web site yang memakai cara black hat SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION selalu mendapatkan efek negatifnya. Typically, if Google is confident within the MODEL name, it is going to replace it with that (typically adding it to the start of your title with a colon, or generally appending the top of your snippet title with the actual area deal with the web page belongs to).
Well, nobody is aware of precisely how Google calculates popularity, reputation, intent or belief, exterior of Google, but after I write about domain authority I'm typically pondering of sites which might be widespread, respected and trusted – all of which can be faked, after all.
Lastly, don't hearken to SEO recommendation from people writing on HP until they have posted new Hubs up to now 12 months and have the visitors accolades to help their opinions. Huge area authority and rating 'trust' was prior to now awarded to very profitable websites that have gained loads of links from credible sources, and different online business authorities too.

What is Credit Score?CIBIL, Credit Score 0 Comments
The moment you would have heard this term credit score, you would have got confused or may be worried that exactly what it is? Well, it's a numerical expression representing your creditworthiness that too based on a level analysis. It's basically used by the lenders, such as banks and credit card companies to evaluate the potential risk and for determining who qualifies for a loan, at what interest rates and what credit limits. The credit score is not limited to banks but is also used by mobile phone companies, insurance companies, government departments, and landlords as well. Usually, a score within the range of 300-850, or a credit score of more than 700 is generally considered good. Majority of credit scores fall between 600 and 750. A good credit score represents better credit decisions and can make creditors more confident that you will repay the future debts as agreed.
Also read: Credit Score: Better Understand Your Credit Karma
As credit score is used by lenders as a medium to decide who qualifies for a loan and who does not, it somewhere becomes a decision-making tool that lenders use to help them anticipate how likely you are to repay your loan on time. There have been situations where credit score has come into consideration with a name of risk scores. But, all of the above there is information on which your credit score won't be taken into consideration:
• Where you live
• Your age
• Salary, occupation, title, employer, date employed or employment history
• Race, color, religion, gender or marital status, national origin
• The score does not count "consumer disclosure inquiry"
Talking about the minimum credit score, then there is not any such type of information. If you fall short from the credit score set by the lender, the chances are more likely to not qualify for a loan or credit card or likely to receive less favorable rates when you are having a low credit score. There are cases, where many people don't have enough credit history to have a credit score. If you are under 21, you should surely have a consignor or you should be able to demonstrate that you are having an adequate source of income so that you can pay back any credit that gets extended. Otherwise, you can open up a secure credit card and get started with building up your credit.
Also read: An Overview Of Good Credit Score
If you want to come across your own credit score, then you need to first understand checking your credit score doesn't lower them. Making efforts to know your credit score creates a special kind of inquiry that does not get calculated in credit score calculations. So, don't let them be a mystery anymore and check them as often as you can.

What we did: Because of the tight time-scale and budget we suggested that for the Ferro Fluids exhibit we use a material that we had in stock and designed a very simple frame for holding the different shaped glassware (supplied by the client) by making 4 of the same unit and using existing stock we were able to keep the costs to a minimum.On the Cornflour disco exhibit we were asked to source the required electronics to make the experiment work , we selected off the shelf modules and combined them into a control unit that allows the frequency and amplitude of the audio signal to be adjusted by the user and provided a timer controlled on/off button . We also assisted in the design of the mechanical parts for this exhibit as the client was looking for a way to make the exhibit harder wearing while keeping the ease of set up. We designed a very simple system that allows the client to change the cornflour mixture in a matter of seconds while retaining the simplicity of the experiment
Testimonial: "I first came to Fifex because their website offered that the company could be involved at any stage of development. I found them to be very flexible and understanding of our needs - they were exactly the company we required at the time. Fifex were able to understand the purpose of our interactives with insight, offering excellent solutions to the problems we presented to them. The final product was of a high standard and I would recommend their services to anyone looking for bespoke interactive and museum installations"

As researchers, when we are preparing to launch a study, we dedicate a lot of time to creating policies and procedures to ensure that our participants are well taken care of during their time working with us . We have long discussions about warning signs that indicate when a participant may be worsening and how to respond during crisis situations. Conversations about burnout among research staff when working with high-risk participants are much less common.
Job burnout is a state of physical, emotional or mental exhaustion combined with doubts about your competence and the value of your work. Predictors of occupational burnout include: lack of control, unclear job expectations, dysfunctional workplace dynamics, mismatch in employer-employee values, poor job fit, work that requires constant energy to remain focused, a lack of social support, and work-life imbalance. It has a host of unpleasant physical and emotional consequences including: fatigue, insomnia, depression, anxiety, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and stoke, to only name a few.[i]
There is also evidence to suggest that exposure to sensitive areas of study, such as mental health, can have high emotional costs for those involved[ii]. However, this literature often focuses on the experiences of clinically trained health professionals rather than non-clinical researchers. While this evidence does show that chronic exposure to at-risk populations has a significant negative impact on well-being, non-clinical research staff may feel even more ill-equipped to handle the emotional labour that is required of them in these roles. In a study conducted in New Zealand, researchers conducted interviews with eight Research Assistants (RAs) who were involved in a large suicide prevention study[iii]. During the study, the RAs were tasked with reviewing the clinical notes of those who presented to the Emergency Department with intentional self-harm in order to extract data. During the interviews, the RAs reported finding the data collection process stressful and not feeling adequately prepared for the level of detail present in the notes. As a result, a number of the RAs interviewed reported feelings consistent with those of burnout, such as emotional exhaustion and indifference towards work.
Preventing burnout among our research staff is a key priority in the BEACON Study. Given that we are working exclusively with men who present to the Emergency Department with self-harm, a very high-risk population, we reasonably expect that some participants will die by suicide. In an effort to address the impact that this may have on our research staff, we plan to:
1. Develop training materials for the therapists who will deliver the intervention which focuses on the importance of self-care;
2. Complete regular assessments of burnout among research staff, which will allow for early detection of the warning signs associated with burnout;
3. Ensure that all research staff, both therapists and RAs, receive appropriate internal supervision by a Psychiatrist;
4. Encourage research staff to seek external supervision from someone outside of the study, when needed;
5. Development of a Suicide Risk Management protocol that includes debriefing of all study staff should a participant under their care die by suicide.
It is crucial that research teams focusing on interventions for high-risk groups not only provide their staff with the appropriate resources, but also foster a stigma-free environment in which staff can come forward when they are struggling. If we are to make real, impactful changes in regards to mental health, we all need to "walk the talk".

Washington Health Benefit Exchange CEO Pam MacEwan Issues Statement Regarding Proposed 2018 Health Insurance Plan Rates
OLYMPIA, Wash.
Today, Pam MacEwan, CEO for the Washington Health Benefit Exchange, issued the following statement regarding the Office of the Insurance Commissioner's announcement of 2018 health insurance plan rates proposed for Washington state:
"We at the Exchange were very concerned to see the proposed rates submitted to the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) for the 2018 individual health insurance coverage year.
"Unfortunately, there remains significant federal uncertainty surrounding both cost-sharing reductions and enforcement of the individual mandate. The lack of clarity that continues to cloud these issues has contributed to the proposed increases to premium rates and potential carrier withdrawal from some rural Washington counties.
"Although more than 60 percent of customers in the Exchange are eligible for subsidies, a meaningful portion of the individual market will have to pay the full impact of these increases. In the end, it will be many of the most vulnerable in our state and their families who will bear the brunt of the blow.
"It is important to remember that today's announcement reflects only those rates that are proposed. As we move forward, we will work with OIC leaders to find suitable solutions for our customers and those seeking 2018 coverage. We hope these efforts are complimented by additional action at the federal level and that we will soon be able to jointly ensure the continued stability of our state's individual health insurance market."

It is almost as if the producers heard the twitterverse and blogosphere say, "How many elements can you possibly fit in one challenge???" during the Yoplait/crowdsourcing/Coney Island/carnival prize challenge and decided to answer, "Ha! You ain't seen nothing yet!"
That's right designers and viewers in the home audience! It is the Lexus/gourmet foods/vintage wallpaper/home and party goods/team challenge!
Let's break this down: the designers are split into teams of three to drive a Lexus, which may or may not serve as an inspiration point…whatever! you choose! who cares as long as the check clears!…around town to at least two of three different locations to source unconventional materials. Each designer is responsible for one look but the looks must be a cohesive part of a collection. The suggested budget is $1500, which one designer will spend but the others must reimburse…and why did we need to know that let's get shopping and sewing, people!
Got all that?

Are you the sort of blogger who works best with music blaring, or in total silence?
Perhaps you're not sure yet. I know I've flip-flopped over the years about which I prefer.
On the one hand, music can be a bit distracting (especially if you have a tendency to sing along) but "silence" usually means being at the mercy of all the noises going on nearby: roadworks outside, the TV on in the next room, your colleagues or kids or housemates chatting …
One great alternative I've found is to listen to background noise. I'm particularly enjoying Noisli right now – a site (and iPhone app) with a range of different noises you can listen to, from wind and waves to coffee shop chatter.
The site aims to help you focus, by playing background noise that's not intrusive or distracting. My personal favourite is the "leaves" sound, but you may find one of the others is a great fit for you.
For me, this is perfect for editing and proofreading – I find music much too distracting during those tasks. (When I'm writing a first draft, the music doesn't seem so intrusive.)
If you prefer actual music, though, you could try focus@will, which promises "neuroscience based music channels" designed to increase your attention span. You can join for free, though you'll need to pay in order to get access to more than one track per music channel.
Do you already use either of these, or something similar? Drop a comment below to let us know what works best for you.

Barcelona, the self-confident and progressive capital of Spain, is a tremendous place to be. Though it boasts outstanding Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings, and some great museums – most notably those dedicated to Picasso and Catalan art – it is above all a place where there's enjoyment simply in walking the streets, stopping in at bars and cafés, drinking in the atmosphere. A thriving port and the most prosperous commercial centre in Spain, it has a sophistication and cultural dynamism way ahead of the rest of the country. In part this reflects the city's proximity to France, whose influence is apparent in the elegant boulevards and imaginative cooking. But Barcelona has also evolved an individual and eclectic cultural identity, most perfectly and eccentrically expressed in the architecture of Antoni Gaudí. Scattered as Barcelona's main sights may be, the greatest concentration of interest is around the old town (La Ciutat Vella). These cramped streets above the harbor are easily manageable, and far more enjoyable, on foot. Start, as everyone else does, with the Ramblas.

Today Spain's major commercial port and naval base, Cartagena lies on the coast of Murcia, its great indented bay guarded by rocky promontories, each topped by a fort. The city contains the remains of old walls, a castle constructed probably in Carthaginian times, and a church that was formerly a 13th-century cathedral. Attractive promenades extend along the harbour, while to the northeast is the famous beach and watersports resort area of the lagoon-like Mar Menor.

The Canary Archipelago, or Fortunate Islands, as they are often called, owe their fame and fortune to their geographical location and climate. Of volcanic origin, the islands lie off the African coast and encompass such a variety of features that in the course of a day it is possible to pick bananas, throw snowballs, swim in the Atlantic and climb mountains. Tenerife is the largest of Canaries. The south features a desert with grotesque rock formations and chunks of cooled lava. Further north stretch miles of green fields of bananas, tomatoes and potatoes. Mountain slopes are dotted with beech, eucalyptus and pine trees. The coastline is as varied as the areas inland, offering black, grey and golden sand, cliffs, tame beaches and wild capes. A spectacular example of past volcanic activity is Canadas crater which rings Mount Teide - the main feature of the island. At 12,198 feet, the cone-shaped Teide is the highest Spanish summit and nearly always snow-capped. A cable car is available to the top.

Growing up is not for wimps. At the ripe old age of thirty, I continue to grow up. I hope to reach adulthood soon.
One of the more illuminating journey's I have been on has been to better understand what it means to love. When Jesus tells us to "love your neighbor like you love yourself," what does he mean? Sure, I understand that I am supposed to love my neighbor, but what I don't understand is what it is to love.
In my late teens, I came up with the best definition of love I could. Love is to delight in someone's good. It is not just sentimental (delighting) nor is it just pragmatic (their good), it is to delight in their good.
Using that working definition, the verse offers a strange insight. I am to love others like I love me. Jesus assumes that I love me. Far from the modern notion of coming to "love yourself." I must already love myself. In fact, that innate love of myself is why I am so motivated to fix my own unhappiness. I love me so much, I would do whatever it takes to care for me. Jesus' argument is that I should love other people that way.
So if I make sure to eat dinner every night, am I as motivated to make sure my wife gets dinner too. Honestly, one of the great purposes of marriage in my life is to show me how desperately ingrown my focus is. Before I loved Sam, I never had anyone to compete with me in my own heart. I could be selfish and it never caused too much trouble for me. But in marriage, there are so many compromises where I am forced to ask if what I want is best for us. I am no longer alone.
What a messy place my heart has turned out to be? Every time I am given a chance to serve and I do it, I see how resistant I am to doing anything for someone else. My heart does not want to love her like I love myself.
Love is also connected to all other feelings. What is fear? It is what I feel when what I love is endangered. Hope is what I feel when I believe something good will happen to someone I love. Dread is what I feel when I believe something bad will happen to someone I love. Peace is what I feel when what I love is secure. Anxiety is what I feel when it is not.
All of my feelings flow from what I love. So when I get angry when someone belittles me, I should pause. Anger is what I feel when something I love is harmed. What is it that I love? Maybe it is my reputation. Far from loving people, even my enemies, I am more like a petulant child who gets his feeling hurt.
The cure for all of these weaknesses is to love God, to be profoundly delighted by him. We should possess a childlike delight in him. Recently I was pondering what it meant in Hebrews to go "boldly before the throne of grace" in prayer. I used to think of it as a sense of entitlement that a believer should feel. Now I think of it like I am God's little boy who walks into Heaven's throne room and walks up to God, climbs in his lap, and asks for a bike.
All of this is very irregular for a stodgy religious person, but the reason I can go to him is because he loves me with such a sweet and tender love that I don't need to posture somehow to get him to give me something. Far from it, I know he loves me so I will ask for what I really want.
You know what I want, I want to spend a billion billion years talking about everything I can imagine. He's my daddy, so I know he'll find the time for me.
And that is love.

In what way can the VDRs be useful for the legal consulting?
In correspondence with the fact that the Online Storage Areas are prevalent worldwide in our generation, it is obvious that you know that the Electronic Repositories have different positive effects which can be convenient for the security flotation companies and other important industries. But probably you do not know that they can also be advantageous for the chamber counsels. In such a case, we think that you have to think about further facts.
- In cases when you cannot choose the provider, we want you to glance over the black books of many online services and to see which one has dealt with the lawyer's offices. That is why you will find the experienced Online Storage Area.
- We know that from time to time you are bound to work twenty-four-hour. At that rate, you do not have to worry because you get the 24/7 technical support which will help you to solve any obstacles any time you need it. If you do not have your computers with you, you are in a position to use your tablets.
- You need to know that it is not a problem when you are going to use the Virtual Repository which does not dispose of the office in your place. In these latter days, you only need the Worldwide Net connection. On the other side, it is to emphasize that on the assumption that you need to work but do not have the Internet connection, you are able to work with your papers on the memory key.
- It is a general knowledge that you do want to waste money on the Alternative Data Room. There is no point in worrying about it because generally, the most Virtual Rooms are moderate. It is self-understood that there are also VDR services which valuable but you are allowed to choose the Virtual Platform within your pocket. And set eyes on the fact that you can use the Online Storage Areas free of cost during 31 days.
- It is clear that the chamber counsels always think about the confidentiality of their paper trail which contain the information about manifold customers. And it is a matter of course that the principal positive thing about the Online Storage Areas is the unconquerable protection level of the info. Likewise, you are free to delete your information from personal computers or mobile phones of your clients. Nobody would like to go through the file leakage but you are bound to share the paper trail with your fellow partners. You will not come across such severities if you utilize the Modern Deal Rooms. As it happens, they can be advantageous for the legal studies.
- It is no secret that the chamber counsels are connected with broad-ranging customers. To add more, these customers can be from various countries. And it stands to reason that the communication with them is of paramount importance for this process. But when you commence using the VDRs, you will not face any asperities as with the Q&A mode you are entitled to negotiate with your close associates at any place of our planet and whenever you need.
To summarize this info, it is desirable to try the Virtual Data Rooms virtual data rooms review on your own and to understand whether they can be helpful for the chamber practice.

With the Chelsea manager nothing is ever simple, Mourhino was quoted on Friday's press call as saying this is a four horse race for the Premier league title. This is nothing more than posturing with a six point lead at the top of the table Chelsea are in pole position and really the only team with the squad an ability to catch them is probably Manchester City. Chelsea's strength of squad is ridiculous, with Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas running the midfield Chelsea have been fantastic. Diego Costa has been terrific up front but the Spanish striker is now injured and Mourhino will look to Remy to lead the line for the blues. Remy has buckets of talent but has failed to really break into Chelsea's first team with Costa leading the line. I think Remy probably ends up leaving Chelsea in the summer but it will be with a Premier League winners medal and he may well lead the line for the next couple of months.
Stoke City will set up to stop Chelsea playing through the center and Stephen Ireland will be the key there. Ireland is a terrific footballer, he has had some well documented problems off the field but Ireland can play and Mark Hughes seems to be getting the best out of the Irish man. With a focal point up front in Crouch Stoke will play a direct route when on the ball, Walters and Diouf will give everything work rate on both wings and will try to get on the end of Crouch's knockdowns. Stoke will really give their all here but they may end up being broken down by the incessant attacks of Chelsea.
This one is going to be a tough game for Chelsea, while Stoke are not the best team in the league they are defensively very solid and will work hard for each other. I'm going to take the unders in this one. I think that Chelsea will come through this with all three points but it might be by the minimum and Chelsea without Costa are not as free scoring.
