Oh, Christmas tree … Oh, Christmas tree!
Our Original Murdick's Fudge team cherishes our Mackinac Island community Christmas tree and all it stands for.
That said, we commissioned a Michigan company this season to design a limited-edition holiday ornament that showcases the island's colorful tree and snow-covered Main Street (and yes, our white clapboard Main Street shop is tucked amid the quaint scenario!). A picture of a painting by island artist Noel Skiba of that wintry scene also appears on our new holiday fudge box.
So far, that box, which holds five slices of fudge (you pick from 12 Sweet Holiday flavors), is flying off our shelves faster than Santa's reindeers fly.
Each year, the island's towering tannenbaum lights up our downtown as sure as the nearby Round Island Lighthouse casts its two white flashes every ten seconds over the surrounding Straits of Mackinac.
So our special "postcard-style" ornament (Murdick's Collector Ornament — Mackinac Holiday Main Street) is a true keepsake that is reminiscent of our December tradition, when folks gather around the island tree to sing carols, while a child throws the switch, turning on its lights and illuminating the charming street.
Exclusively handcrafted for Original Murdick's Fudge and our fudge-loving friends, the ornament is now available for purchase! We are pairing this glass-blown beauty with a Pure Michigan island taste — two half-pound slices of fudge (you pick from 12 flavors).
Hanging on your Christmas tree at home, the ornament is sure to stir up memories of one of your last fudge-shop visits or inspire northern Michigan Mackinac Island getaways yet to come! Created in old European-style fashion, it's a true keepsake.
Click here to order and read more about our limited-edition ornament.
Or click here to see a behind-the-scenes look at our holiday season on the island last year.
Oh, and Santa's elves wanted you to know one more thing. Starting very soon, we'll be rolling out a special "12 Days of Christmas" program on Facebook . Hitch a sleigh to our Facebook page — you'll find out how you can win an ornament and more!
Our Mackinac Island fudge kitchen is now open and taking orders for our seven holiday gift boxes packed with fudge, toffee, brittle, caramel corn and lots of sweet Christmas cheer.

Postseason basketball can be heartbreaking
It is the best time of the year for fans of high school basketball.
The postseason started last week in Alabama with area tournaments, while schools in Georgia begin tonight with region tournaments.
For coaches, this can be a time of some anxiety. One loss can mean the end of promising seasons. Other coaches look at the postseason as a chance to make up for a disappointing regular season.
In Georgia, the top four teams in each region tournament advance to next week's state tournament.
Some regions in Georgia do things the right way and reward teams for winning the regular-season title or finishing as the runner-up. Region 5-AA does this and both Jordan teams are in the state tournament regardless of how they do this week.
The Jordan boys won the region's regular-season title, while the Lady Red Jackets finished as the runners-up.Others who reward teams for how they did in the regular season include 4-A and 6-AAA.
One that does not is 1-AAAA.
All of the eight schools are playing tonight (girls) or Tuesday (boys). For the teams that won the divisions, these first-round games could mean the end of the season with an upset loss.
Want to know how heartbreaking such a loss could be, just ask the Smiths Station Panthers.
In Alabama, area tournaments are formatted just like 1-AAAA, with fewer schools involved.
But each of the four teams in an area must win that first night to assure itself of a berth in the state tournament.
The Panthers went 23-5 and finished second in Class 6A Area 7. But they were knocked off Friday night by Auburn.
One and done. Great for fans. Heartbreaking for teams and their supporters.

C# .NET Part 10
During the past few articles we discussed the various aspects which involves in C#.NET. We discussed some of the most important things we have to in programming with C#.NET. Having a good understanding about these programming idioms is very important. Apart from that there is another very important aspect in programming. That is to work with databases. Applications connected to a database are very common in programming. When it comes to C#.NET there are lots of DataBase Management Systems that could be used. SQL Server, MySql, Oracle… etc.
In this article we would concentrate on one of those DBMSs. It is the most commonly used DBMS with C#.Net. So I thought of sharing some information with you with related to setting up SQL server and using it. This article covers the aspects of installing it. In the following articles we would discuss more on how to program with C#.NET and SQL Server.
SQL Server 2005
First get the SQL server 2005 setup, at present SQL server 2008 is also available. But here we use the 2005 version for the process of installing the product.
- This is the initial screen of the installation process.
- Accept the term and agreement and then you would be directed to this page.
- Then insert the product key, for SQL server 2005.
- After selecting the necessary components, select 'default instance' from the next window.
- in the next select Local System from "Use the built-In System account"
- Then in the next window select 'Mixed Mode'. And enter a 'System Administrator' password. This would be the main user of the SQL server and would be used to log into the database system.
- Then in the next window select 'Mixed Mode'. And enter a 'System Administrator' password. This would be the main user of the SQL server and would be used to log into the database system.
- After the installation process there would be a link called 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005' and 'SQL Server Management Studio' would be the main interface of the SQL server.
- If the server is installed in your local machine, the machine name would be the server name.
- 'sa' would be the login name and enter the 'sa' password.
In the next article would we would surf around the SQL server and would start connecting a SQL server database with C#.NET.

Interviewing for a job reminds me of what you occasionally see in an NFL game when a new, untested cornerback is put in a game to replace an injured or an ineffective cornerback. Everyone in the stadium knows that the new cornerback is going to be mercilessly targeted by the opposing quarterback by throwing passes to whoever the cornerback is covering on a pass play.
Even the announcers on TV remind the viewers with a flippant comment that the cornerback, from the constant barrage he is likely to face, will either become an All Pro (best at his position) or be looking for another job. The cornerback is going to be a marked man and there is no place to hide while he is on the playing field.
The cornerback may be good, and he may have all the skills to be very good and may have been a great player in college or in high school, but that is not going to help him much now. It is a new game and a new situation. He is facing his "High Noon," in that he is on his own to deal with the challenge on the playing field and if he plays it right for the rest of the game, he may not only survive but thrive.
Looking for a job feels the same way in that you are on your own subjected to all kinds of stuff "thrown" at you by the recruiters, companies, politicians and the media. And if that isn't enough, you have to put up with insensitive comments from friends, relatives and family members.
With this type of an onslaught, you are either going to suck it up and become very good at looking for a job, or get so frustrated that you stop looking altogether, which unfortunately many have done. And you can't blame those who have thrown in the towel, since the process has become so brutal that it wears you down physically, emotionally and psychologically. It is tough to be out of a job when you want to work and have done outstanding work in the past and know that you can still do an outstanding job today.
All I can tell you is that if you are in a similar situation, don't be hard on your self. There are lot of things going on that are completely outside your control. I know you need a paycheck to pay the bills, but if you understand the situation and then develop a strategy and execute to that, I think you will increase your chance and may even start having fun along the way. It does not have to beat you down unless you let it.
Tough market with new rules
The reason getting a job has become so difficult today is that not only the job market has gotten tight, but the rules have completely changed. Companies no longer invest in job training so they want a perfect candidate who will be productive from the first day on the job. This means they are not going to compromise at all and (let's face it) they don't have to since there are so many prospective candidates to choose from.
The new rules are very simple: the candidate must have the hard skills, the soft skills and willing to accept a job at a lower salary. It is a buyers market.
HR out of the loop
Another contributing factor that makes getting a job so difficult is that companies have cut its human resources (HR) department. HR has no or very limited role in the hiring process today. What companies have done is taken the professionals out of the hiring loop completely, since they don't see any value they bring to the process.
Many companies simply have outsourced this function or use sophisticated software to find candidates matching their job requirements with the resumes that they receive or stored in their job database. The hiring manager is the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) HR professional. With no real HR professional in the loop, most candidates have no interaction with HR until they receive a job offer.
The problem this creates is that there are no ground rules regarding the interview process. Also, you don't have a professional whose involvement is to preserve the company's reputation and ensure that the candidate is fairly treated. This is an important value that only HR can add, since their role is to facilitate and not to drill down into a candidates background.
With no HR to coordinate and manage the hiring process, it has created another problem that makes getting a job difficult in that you have two "amateurs" trying to navigate through a complicated interview process.
Job interviews are extremely complicated for both the company and the candidates. Both sides have lot on the line if it does not work out. Companies could not only lose financially bit can hurt the morale within the company. The candidate wants to stop the bleeding if he is out of a job and simultaneously does not want to hurt his career if the job is not a good fit.
The other thing that makes interviewing difficult is that the skills needed to be effective are not practiced much by both sides. You need the candidate to be an expert salesman in selling himself as the product and the solution.
Similarly the company not only has to sell the position but also must know how they are going to buy. What you end up getting are weekend golfers playing in a professional tournament. We are not dealing with two professionals when they meet for an interview. Hence when it does not go well, it results in frustration, disillusionment and acrimony.
Employees not important
The hard truthis that companies don't need to hire because according to Business Insider, corporate America is making boat load of much money without hiring,workers. Why would they want to change this?
With outsourcing and automation, companies can gain productivity and increase profits without hiring lot of people. Corporate America is beginning to more like National Football League (NFL) where there are so few openings to make it on the 32 teams. There are only 32 teams with each team having 53 players and perhaps a dozen more on their practice squad. Each team has one or two tier 1 players; the quarterback is a tier 1 player since he is usually the most important player and thus the highest paid player on a team; a team probably has between three to seven tier 2 players who are very good; a team may have between fifteen to twenty tier 3 players who are good but could be replaced, and the rest of the team consists of journeymen (who will bounce from one team to another since they are not considered elite players).
If you map this to a corporation, it probably has handful of tier 1 payers, which are mostly executives; it will have perhaps have 1% of their employees classified as tier 2 players; it may have probably 5% of their employees classified as tier 3 employees; the rest are all workers who are lucky to be working at the company and earning a paycheck. The last category have no power today to earn more money since they face the stiffest competition for very few positions that are available.
Companies need fewer employees to succeed today and all they need is few people on the top to grow since they have three levers to play with for productivity: outsourcing, automation and cheap labor.
Manipulation Game
This is one thing I have not read anywhere but based on my experience with IBM and my friends experience with Amazon and Oracle I have reached a conclusion that job opening is nothing but a big manipulation game that the candidates are the only ones who don't know that they are the "ball" in the game.
Here is how it works. Companies are using job interviewing as a perk and as a whip. It is a perk since employees who are interviewing are made to feel powerful that they have the power to hire. They are not professional interviewers or provided hardly any training so they are essentially incompetent at it. Also the companies are using the interviewing as a whip to keep them performing at a high level since they see how hard it is to be on the outside trying to get in to the company.
Similarly managers are also playing this game by dragging the process on since by not hiring they have a cover for lackluster performance and can look good if they beat the low expectations that is set due to being understaffed. With this situation, why would a manager want to hire quickly? The manager can keep the position open by blaming i the candidates for not having the right skills or they were not a good cultural fit. This like a pilot who flies by the instrument on a clear day so the separation has to be far between planes and thus causing big delays. They are just following the right procedures. Managers in companies have adopted this play from the pilot's playbook when it comes to hiring.
The HR is also quite incompetent or, worse, a willing participant since they they are not technical and take all the skills on the manager's wish iist and turn it into a job requirement and then advertise for a position that no one can meet, not even people who are currently doing that job in the company. The companies keep recruiters busy by getting them to find the next great candidate that does not exist. Recruiters may know this game and are also a willing participant since they are getting paid and why would they say anything since they don't want to blamed if the hire does not work out.
The real victims of this manipulation game are the candidates since they think there is a job that they have a chance to get. I have reached this controversial conclusion by my own experience and others in the way the managers talk to you on the phone as they want to hire you but during face-to-face interview they tend to get very confrontational, which is quite perplexing. Why not do that over the phone and save everyone time and money?
There is a kind of Catch-22 that corporate America, through the complicity of the media, has convinced all of us that companies can't hire when they are not doing well, but also can't hire when they are doing well since they can;t find candidates with the skills they require.
I don't have a solution to correct the bigger problem of the interview process as it exists today, but I will offer few tips in my next blog that will help a candidate be on offense right from the beginning while still being a professional throughout the interview process.
The first phone call is very important and will help you determine if the opportunity is worth pursuing and if you do decide to pursue it, how you can increase your chances of receiving a job offer.
What do you think are the main problems in getting a job today?
Do you think HR needs to be in the loop or do they just get in the way?
Do you think that candidates and companies are good with the interview process?
Is interviewing pretty much a seat-of-the-pants approach today?

text: This adaption of Zuckerman's adult pictorial Creature (2007) uses white backdrops in striking juxtaposition with brilliantly detailed photographs to introduce animals and the ABCs. Children will marvel at the portraits, in which elephant freckles, mandrill stripes and porcupine quills appear in such startling clarity that the animals seem to breathe on the page. The design devotes two double-page spreads to each letter and animal. Young readers encounter upper- and lower-case characters first (Dd), along with an introductory shot. Then a turn of the page reveals the creature's name (dove) and another breathtakingly close picture. The placement of images remains compositionally compelling throughout, with animals appearing in motion, in fragments or relating with another creature. Readers find a glossary in the back, with fascinating facts about each animal embedded in a grid with ample white space and small pictures. Little ones just learning letters won't be able to hold this hefty book on their own, but the large format will make for fantastic lap-sit sessions. Older children won't tire of staring into the eyes and souls of such beautiful, mysterious creatures. (Picture book. 3-8)

Howard Thompson, a movie reporter for The New York Times who turned to writing one-liner reviews in the newspaper's television section that amused, infuriated and astounded readers for more than 20 years, died on Sunday at his home in Cape Canaveral, Fla. He was 82.
The cause was pneumonia, said Gail Sweet, his niece.
Mr. Thompson once likened his mini-reviews to writing on the head of a pin. Of ''So This is Paris,'' the 1954 Tony Curtis musical, he said simply, ''Is it?''
His praise was as concisely zestful as his pans. Of ''Angel,'' a 1937 film directed by Ernst Lubitsch that starred Marlene Dietrich and Melvyn Douglas, he pronounced: ''Angel cake. Delicious.''
Even when he thought a film was truly great, he hardly ran on. Of ''The Grapes of Wrath,'' John Ford's 1940 classic, he said, ''The American scene at its peak.''
He labored anonymously, but became such a local legend that in 1971 The Village Voice called him ''the Virgil of TV guides.'' Those few able to link the name with the oeuvre spoke of ''Howardisms'' and ''Tiny Thompsons.''
Mr. Thompson was born in 1919 in Natchez, Miss., where he was weaned on Saturday cliffhangers at the local cinema. By his own account, he was the only boy in his neighborhood who could spell the name the actress Minna Gombell.
He studied journalism at Louisiana State University, leaving to join the Army to serve as a paratrooper. He spent six months in a German prisoner of war camp.
He said he learned a valuable lesson from his internment: how to distinguish the heavies in war films.
After the war he continued his journalism studies at Columbia, and in 1947 called on a second cousin, Turner Catledge, an editor at The Times and later its executive editor. Mr. Catledge called Bosley Crowther, the Times's film critic, and learned that there would soon be a clerk's position open in the movie section.
In 1947, Mr. Thompson joined The Times as an office boy in the personnel department, and soon he moved over to the movie section in the promised job as a clerk. He advanced to reporter, winning recognition for his coverage of the movie business and his interviews with stars. He became a critic in the mid-1960's, while continuing to work as a reporter, and was chairman of the New York Film Critics.
He was soon assigned to writing the capsule comments for the television listings.
''If you go by the sheer number of people he probably persuades to watch one flick and click off another,'' The Village Voice wrote, ''Thompson is a major critic.''
Mr. Thompson said he thought his assignment was ''a good way to learn how to say more in less.'' In addition, he was duty-bound not to drift from the original review -- unless the passage of time had turned an initially admired picture to ''pure corn,'' in a typical phrase.
Mr. Thompson, who is survived by his brother, William, of Monroe, La., never had a credit card or learned to drive. A lanky man with a soft Southern accent and a taste for unfiltered cigarettes, he lived in the same Greenwich Village apartment for nearly 50 years. It was decorated with pictures of him with Marlon Brando and other movie stars.
He retired from The Times in 1988, but signed a contract to continue to write the Critic's Choice column and his famous one-liners for the movie listings. He had a stroke in 1996.
But he continued to watch late night movies, invariably delivering a typically brief commentary, his niece, Ms. Sweet, said.
Good: ''Quite so.''
Bad: ''Phooey.''

Hailing from Philadelphia, PA, Pretty Poison started out as a new wave outfit in 1981. Fronted by the diminutive and gorgeous Jade Starling, they signed to Svengali Records 1n 1982, and enjoyed regional success, especially with the regional dance hit "Nighttime." Their music in the early part of the 1980's was dark and atmospheric, sounding nothing like the dance pop which was to follow. However, in 1987, Pretty Poison signed to Virgin Records. With heavy MTV exposure, "Catch Me, I'm Falling" became a top ten U.S. Billboard Hot 100 hit, peaking at number eight. The song also went to number one on the dance chart, as well as being featured in the film "Hiding Out." The B-side contained a shorter Spanish vocal. A re-recorded version of "Nighttime" became their second Hot 100 hit, climbing to number thirty-six. Pretty Poison had several more dance chart entries, the most recent being a new version of "Catch Me (I'm Falling)" which hit number forty-three in 1998. Read more on Last.fm.

Believe it or not, oxygen is my new drug of choice.
Naturally, I've been breathing it since birth, but each breath contains only 21 percent oxygen. When you need help healing, you go with the hard stuff, 100 proof.
That's why I rise before sunup each weekday morning, drive to Roper Hospital where the staff loads me into one of three hyperbaric oxygen chambers for a two-hour treatment.
Once in the glass chamber, the door is sealed tight and the pressure of 100 percent oxygen builds in around you. Sound scary? It's really not. Especially when you consider the benefits.
My issue is post-radiation wounding in the bladder after prostate cancer surgery eight years ago. This one little spot of dead tissue began causing me urinary trouble a few months ago. After seven surgical procedures didn't fix it, we contacted Dr. Lance Davis who came to my rescue.
Dr. Davis learned the value of hyperbaric therapy while serving as a doc in the Naval Reserve. He was introduced to HBO when he went to the 9-week Diving Medical Officer School in Panama City, Florida. However, he also learned how beneficial this treatment could be for patients like me, with soft tissue issues damaged by radiation, as well as other patients with severe diabetic foot wounds that are slow to heal.
"Radiation and long-term high blood sugar can destroy capillaries," Dr. Davis said. "The chamber provides so much oxygen around where the capillaries were that the cells that rebuild capillaries wake up and start to go to work again."
But it doesn't happen overnight.
In my case, I've been through 32 treatments and will probably have more than 40 before the oxygen is forced back into my damaged tissues and heals the bleeding wound that has been problematic.
If that sounds like a lot, consider the fact that my movie watching has increased considerably. As soon as I arrive each morning, I hand nurses Nancy Parrish and Matt Gamble my movie disc of the day and they load me into the glass chamber and turn on the DVD player.
Which is another critical point I want to make. For those who have claustrophobic issues, this is not your MRI kind of chamber. This chamber is all glass so you can see out everywhere and watch your movie or your favorite TV shows or take a nap if you so choose.
When it's over, you just hop out, get dressed and go about your daily business.
Are there side effects? Only one that I can tell – when I finish my treatment, I feel like a million dollars, which is better than any other drug I've ever tried.

I know what direction we are currently heading in, but what are we heading towards? What is the vision of South Africa for our people?
For too long, we have stood by and watched people rule our country wielding their power in the most dramatic, soul shattering, mind boggling horrendous way.
In fact - we stopped believing and hoping! We have gone through injustices that would make many balk just at the thought of what was done to people in the name of freedom. In fact, we have been so programmed to believe that we do not deserve happiness or to succeed, that we allow ourselves to be taken advantage off.
Let me give you a simple example. Tonight, as I was driving along a well lit main road, I heard and saw a lady screaming as a man dragged her, half running and trying to strangle her at the same time. I immediately drove right up to him and screamed at him to stop. He got a helluva shock and stopped, which surprised me because he was looking at me with a very confused expression. My instincts immediately kicked in and I demanded that he stop. I asked her if she was ok and she said no...So I screamed at him to let her go or else...well..in not so many nice words. He immediately let go off the death hold he had on her and pretended to walk off.. As soon as I drove off, he grabbed her again. This time, I drove onto the pavement right at him. He got a real fright and ran. I waited until she caught her breath and when she said it was ok...she turned and walked off into the opposite direction. I could not follow.
As I drove off again, I realised that he had crossed the road and was now following her from the other side..At this stage, I was now on the wrong side of the road with many vehicles coming to a standstill, but NO ONE jumping out to help or assist!! I quickly drove around the block and was now on the correct lane coming right at them again from the other side. He ran as fast as he could as soon as I sped towards him again. I stopped next to the lady and asked her if she knew the guy. Surprisingly, she said that she actually knew him. Now at this point with the adrenaline pumping through my veins, I am all set to jump out of the car and literally hit him, for hurting her, so it came as a huge deflating surprise to hear that she knew him. Apparently they were friends. And when he had too much alcohol, he liberally hit her and she accepted it. Now I ask you with tears in my eyes...Why??Why would she allow him to treat her that way. Why would he behave that way and think that it was acceptable? Why did no-one have the balls to stop and help?
Have we all become so complacent in allowing people to treat us and others any way they please and we just sit back and let it happen?Are we going to become a nation of people who expend so much energy whining and complaining that we could power South Africa and never have to depend on Eskom again?
Are we going to allow our Courts, Government, President, Political Parties, Apartheid System, Poverty, Old Paradigms, Backward thinking and lack of good leadership make a mockery of our country and lead us to our doom? Or are we going to stand up and be counted again?
Let us take a step back and know that so far, we have been fed a load of bullshit for so long, that we cannot even breath freely anymore because we do not even know what fresh air smells like. We live in fear of when, not if, but when we may get robbed, raped, murdered, hijacked or assaulted. Is this what we are creating for our precious children whom we put all the pressure onto, to change our country and world? Nonsense!! They will never change this world, because we are feeding them all of our negativity, hatred, racist, prejudiced, unhappy ways. Maybe their children will be less infected, who knows.
Know that every time someone gets it into their heads to toyi toyi, our economy takes a dive, our service delivery becomes non-existent and our beautiful Country's reputation becomes worse. The world is looking at us for answers. And guess what!! We have it. But we are so stuck in our thinking that we cannot see what is clearly in front of us.
Stand up and take back our country. Do it! Stop whining in your homes, in coffee shops, in your own cliques and on Social Media. Get a pair and stand up!Do something! Demand that our Leadership is filled with people who are capable, competent and skilled...yes...skilled. If they do not have it, they should partner with the very people who have experience and are invaluable to us.
Every single person who was born on this Earth, deserves a place on this EARTH. Note, I did not say Country...I said Earth!
Mankind created the divisions amongst us through Rules, Religions, Wars, Borders and languages. This Earth belongs to no one! So stop fighting and start living! Choose to breath freely by standing up through the power of your words. Use positivity to build. Use compassion for other human beings to connect. Use understanding to rebuild relationships. Create a safe environment by stopping bullying in the home, school and work environments.
We need more Leaders who inspire and move us to greatness!
Stand up people...Wake up...the air is fresher in SA!! There is light and hope, love and respect awaiting you and your mindset change. Choose!

Elon Musk: To the people in New Jersey/
From Tesla's own Elon Musk on their website today:
On Tuesday, under pressure from the New Jersey auto dealer lobby to protect its monopoly, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, composed of political appointees of the Governor, ended your right to purchase vehicles at a manufacturer store within the state. Governor Christie had promised that this would be put to a vote of the elected state legislature, which is the appropriate way to change the law. When it became apparent to the auto dealer lobby that this approach would not succeed, they cut a backroom deal with the Governor to circumvent the legislative process and pass a regulation that is fundamentally contrary to the intent of the law.
Well written. This seems like some of the scummiest back door dealing I've seen in quite some time. Best question for anyone who tries to argue this story to you: Why can I go into an Apple Store and buy an iPad, but I can't go into a Tesla Store and buy a Tesla?
Seems simple enough.

GSOC Seeking Volunteers to bring Geology to Life for Young People./
3rd graders in Salem Get Hands-On with Fossils
Friday, Nov. 7th: Third Graders at Chapman Hill Elementary School in West Salem got a treat for their unit on the study of fossils. Their teacher, Maureen Foelkl, searched the internet to find someone who would enrich the students' experience and found the GSOC website. Current GSOC President, Sheila Alfsen, answered the call and visited the school to show them pictures of Ice Age mammals that had lived in the Willamette Valley. She enlisted the help of GSOC member, Dr. William Orr, who brought in a real deer skeleton that the students articulated on the floor.
GSOC is seeking members who are willing to share a few hours occasionally to bring geology to life for these young people.

Born 1963, Penghu Islands, Taiwan. Died 2014
The Chinese title of Chen Shun-Chu's Remnant Vision—Psychic Landscape series (2011) is Zannen Scenery. Borrowed from Japanese and popular in Taiwen, zannen—which translates roughly as "what a shame"—conveys regret for a desire thwarted or a plan unfulfilled. The artist's screen-processed photos are hugely enlarged negatives of random overexposures, taken by clicking the shutter while the camera is moving and unfocused. Within these accidental "landscapes", which reduce the world to a play of light and darkness, the artist incorporates two curling strands of his wife's hair, inserting into each blur of mystery a tantalisingly cryptic clue.

Dealing With an Emergency in DublinTravel Tips — By ckenny on July 27, 2011 at 3:18 pm
Nobody goes on holiday expecting to have an accident or become the victim of crime, but the following tips may help to prepare you if an emergency occurs while on holidays in Dublin.
The number for all emergency services, including ambulance, fire brigade and police, is 999 (or 112 from mobiles).
In advance of your trip, check your health insurance policy to make sure you will be covered for any medical treatment you may need while in Ireland. Visitors from EU countries can apply for the European Health Insurance (EHIC) card, formerly the E111 card, which will cover you for any necessary treatment in a public hospital or with a general practitioner who is registered with the Health Service Executive.
Even with the EHIC or health insurance, all travellers should still apply for travel insurance, which will also cover you for theft, lost property or luggage, or delayed transport. If you are carrying valuable items in your luggage or intend to participate in any extreme sports such as windsurfing, rock climbing or diving on your trip, you may need to specify this in the policy, so check the small print.
If you are taking prescription medications, bring enough supplies with you to last the trip. A note from your doctor can also be useful.
Fallen ill or had an accident?
If you have gotten sick or been in an accident, call 999 for an ambulance or ask your hotel or tour guide to recommend a GP. The main hospitals in Dublin that deal with accidents and emergencies are: Beaumont Hospital, Beaumont Road (01-8093000); Mater Hospital, Eccles St (01-8032000); St James's, James's St (01-4103000); St Vincent's, Elm Park (01-2694533).
The Dublin Dental Hospital on Lincoln Place deals with dental emergencies (01-6127200).
Keep receipts for all medical expenses incurred – you may need them in order to make a claim from your insurance company.
Become a victim of crime?
If you have been robbed or scammed, your hotel or tour operator will be able to assist you to contact the Gardai, the Irish police service, to report the crime. Keep a copy of the police report, including an itemised list of any stolen property, as you may need it to make an insurance claim. All tourist victims of crime will be referred to the Irish Tourist Assistance Service (ITAS), a free service that can provide emotional support and practical assistance, and can arrange to liaise with embassies, organise money transfers or ticket replacements, and to cancel credit cards. They speak several languages. The good news is that 96% of victimised tourists would still recommend Ireland as a holiday destination, and 88% choose to continue their holidays after a crime.

Crime, and...
In theory the most democratic land on earth should be the "Republic of Letters," as the learned men of the eighteenth century metaphorically referred to the bourgeoning international class of scholars, intellectuals, and artists of that age. In fact, the world of learning was long the province of wealth and social prestige. To a greater extent than I am happy to acknowledge it still is. I note a newspaper discussion in the last few days stimulated by an article entitled "Generation Later, Poor Still Rare at Elite Colleges". That could have been "Centuries Later".
The Rogue Scholar of today's essay, Eugene Aram, was born in Ramsgill in the North Riding of Yorkshire in 1704, the son of a gardener. His life ended on the Knavesmire gallows at York on August 6, 1759, when he was executed for capital murder. On the basis of some scant boyhood schooling Aram somehow, by sheer force of the intellectual will, became an autodidact with a sharp focus on languages and language theory. He earned a paltry living as an "usher" (assistant master and general dogsbody) in a school. For long hours at night, by candle light, he taught himself the classical and sacred tongues.
He was a real-life Jude Fawley (the protagonist of Hardy's Jude the Obscure) in more ways than one. In the country town of Knaresborough he married a local slattern with whom he shared little love but lots of sex and too many children. Motivated by vulgar cupidity, he murdered a local cobbler, Clark; but the meaning of the sudden disappearance of this fellow, whose corpse was never found, was not at first grasped, even when Aram abandoned his numerous family and took off for parts unknown. This was in 1745. In London, and later at King's Lynn in Norfolk, Aram continued his obscure career as a teacher and his ever more ambitious philological researches, which were now obsessive. The cold case of the vanishing shoemaker warmed up in 1758 with the accidental discovery of a skeleton (not Clark's, as it turned out) just about when, again by accident, a citizen of Knaresborough passing through Lynn, a hundred miles away, was startled to run into Eugene Aram on the street. It had taken more than a decade, but the jig was now up.
Aram's trial at the York Assizes is of apparent interest to historians of English law. The defendant, acting as his own counsel, made a brilliant speech, which has been preserved. It proves (at the hypothetical level) that a man of such scholarly attainment was incapable of common greed, let alone base homicide. Unfortunately, he did not refute the much less hypothetical testimony of a former confederate who ratted. In an effort to avoid a public hanging, the philologist attempted suicide; but he was unsuccessful, and the hangman had the last word.
Since he never occupied an academic position favorable to the publication of his scholarly findings, Aram's philological speculations went entirely without public notice or discussion. But surviving notes make it clear that he was in advance of the scholars of his age on at least two important questions. He recognized, in the first place, that the relationship between Greek and Latin was a cognate one. That is, the two languages were cousins rather than parent and child. Secondly, although the theory of an hypothetical "Indo-European" language had not yet been formulated, he recognized that the marginal Celtic languages known in Britain were not exotic "outliers" but members of a large interrelated group that included English, the ancient classical languages, and the modern romance tongues.
But the murderous etymologist lived on in song and story. In eighteenth-century Britain lurid crimes and ghastly punishments were great engines of popular literature. The "true crime" genre, still very popular, really got going then. The "penny dreadful," before the inflation of the nineteenth century, cost a mere farthing. Cheap broadsheets with crude but emphatic woodcuts depicted the violence. Moralizing accounts of the criminal's last words from the scaffold, occasionally brushing up against textual plausibility, edified the morbid spectators. Above all, juicy crime was the stuff of the improvised song. The gore of some of the Border ballads, in which so much of the old proletarian aesthetic is confusingly preserved, approaches parody:
And Withrington I needs must wail, as one in doleful dumps ;
For when his legs were smitten off, he fought upon his stumps.
The tradition of course was brought to America, where it took root and flourished. Murder is an indispensable motif of our old folk music, which largely eschews bloodless crime. You can hear a great recording of Mississippi John Hurt singing "Stagger Lee", but you'll probably not find an equivalent ballad devoted to "The Legend of Bernie Madoff".
Aram's murder of Dan Clark was rich with potential, made for media. He had bashed the man's skull in, and then secreted the body in a riverside cave that had centuries earlier been the abode of a medieval hermit! What could be more ghastly or more Gothick? Of the dozens of poems, plays, and novels devoted to the celebrated crime of this rogue scholar, two have had considerable staying power. Thomas Hood is a minor poet, but his art ballad "The Dream of Eugene Aram" shows that he could have been a contender. I have never read Bulwer Lytton' s novel Eugene Aram and can now safely say I never shall. If writing this essay is not a sufficient stimulus to do so, I cannot imagine what would be. Indeed I now regard my youthful perusal of The Last Days of Pompeii as an indiscretion. But Bulwer Lytton commanded a very large audience in the Victorian era and has his readers still.

Ghosts. Goblins. Witches. Cartoon characters. The list goes on of possible costumes to disguise yourself Halloween evening. All in fun, of course. That is what we have to remind our kids.
My youngest daughter is already conjuring up a list of costume ideas for this Halloween. She actually has been dressing up in costume from our trunk full of play clothes, old costumes, material, and whatever else may have made its way into it.
Our family enjoys Halloween. We love decorating with scarecrows, pumpkins, gourds, lights, and, of course, some fake tombstones and spider webbing that we adorn our front porch with. Halloween music and a fog machine have also made their way into our Halloween traditions.
Traditions are what make the holidays special. We look forward to them. They provide comfort, stability, and connection to others and our roots.
My students have started a new tradition. We are hosting our second-annual harvest party for preschoolers in our district. We have come up with a date, made invitations, and sent parent letters to inform the families of the party. Subcommittees have been formed, to take care of crafts, games, snacks, decorations, and tattoos and face painting. Our class has some very artistically-talented young adults, who plan on making graphic arts a career.
The face painting committee has drawn up their own harvest/Halloween-related pictures, symbols, and characters that our young party goers can choose from to adorn their cute little cheeks, foreheads, wrists, and/or arms. I am always in awe as my students draw these pictures freehand not looking at any picture to copy just conjuring up things from their minds. Talented.
The snacks committee is making spider snacks with the children. Using a large marshmallow for the body and attaching eight small pretzel sticks for the legs and two raisins for the eyes, an edible spider takes form.
Worm burgers are also on the harvest party snack menu. A gummy worm and chocolate frosting is pressed gently between two vanilla wafers. Of course, it looks gross but that's part of the fun.
Harvest bingo, and "attach the nose to the pumpkin" are the game choices. My students are busy making bingo cards, drawing the pumpkin on tag board, and creating various noses for students to attach to the pumpkin while blindfolded with an orange bandana. These are typical games loved by all.
Harvest wreaths made from a paper plate, ribbon, silk, and construction paper leaves and Halloween stickers are part of the craft station. My students are busy cutting out leaf templates and the middle of the paper plates to be used as the wreath base.
The sucker ghost is a choice for a craft activity, too. A tissue tied around a sucker with a piece of ribbon and marker eyes makes a simple, but edible ghost.
Gift bags filled with special goodies are given to each preschooler as they leave our party. The gift bags are created from small brown paper bags with pictures on them drawn by my students.
There is lots of prepping and planning, and a lot of fun that goes into this special event. My students look forward to it as much as the little harvest party goers who will be attending.

Music - 14 years of composing/producing, engineering, piano playing, songwriting.
Dance - Dancing since 5 years old, love dancing to reggae, kizomba, hip-hop/rap, trap, disco, house.
Video - 10 years of Video production. Disciplined in Creative Planning, Directing, Producing, Shooting, Editing.
Comedy - Did 4 Years Stand-up Comedy, 10 years comedy writing.
Business - Started my business 5 years ago. Am currently involved with that and another start-up.
I started studying music at age 14 and composing/producing at age 18. I started making hip-hop rap music, but was always interested in studying music and blending genres. I was once told that I was "too musical" and that's when I started branching off into other genres. Alongside music, I was always into comedy. As my life would have it, I pursued stand-up comedy and writing alongside music. I also always shared a love of dance. Growing up with Cape-Verdean music, Reggae, and other dance oriented music, it's always been one passion that I've always only done because of it. Over the past 8 years, I also got into video production. Directing, filming, producing, it seemed to be a natural transition from what I already did. And after starting a successful business, being involved in others, I feel like I really have something to offer in all fields.

Snack Fund
During a nursery session we provide your children with a snack of fresh fruit and a drink of milk or water. We have a rolling snack and children are allowed to access the snack at any time, except 'Tidy Up' time, as many children soon learn this as an avoidance tactic so as not to tidy up!
Milk is free to all nursery children and we ask for a voluntary contribution of £2 a week towards fruit. This is payable either half termly, termly or annually.

With his first year in Cape Coral easily called a huge success, Billy Fuccillo has huger plans for the future and the community that embraced him.
Fuccillo, owner of Fuccillo Kia of Cape Coral and the Fuccillo Automotive Group, opened the local dealership in January 2011. It is the first one he has opened in the state of Florida - his other 21 dealerships are in New York.
"We really wanted to get some fireworks going in Southwest Florida," he said, adding that there was already a Kia dealership in Fort Myers and that the closed Saturn dealership on Pine Island Road had the right foundation.

Billy Fuccillo, owner of Fuccillo Kia of Cape Coral and the Fuccillo Automotive Group
"The Cape was an open situation," Fuccillo said.
The initial reaction from the public, however, to his "huge" advertising campaign and persona, and his even huger contests - Fuccillo is currently giving away a free house and car - was not entirely open and positive.
"I knew what to expect going in," he said of people's annoyance.
Fuccillo had encountered the same vibe opening his other dealerships.
"It was very similar," he said.
Then, like most things in life, things changed.
"It started growing on them and they became fascinated," Fuccillo said, adding that today's Cape community is "very positive" toward him.
"Everywhere I go, they thank me for coming here and putting life in the Cape," he said, noting that the economy is turning around in the city.
"There's a lot more going on in the Cape than there was when I first got here," Fuccillo said.
Asked about his dealership's huge success, he cited three things.
"Nobody can sell a Kia less than I can - the most important thing is selection, and when they (visitors) come in, the music's playing, everybody's having a good time - it's a very relaxed atmosphere," Fuccillo said.
He also noted his dealership's contributions to the community through charities. Fuccillo matched funds donated during the Red Kettle Drive after learning that The Salvation Army might not reach its goal for the year.
He donated $50,000 to the Harry Chapin Food Bank in another drive.
"When we see institutions in need, we try to contribute," Fuccillo said. "Wherever we make money, we want to contribute to that community."
And, the dealership has contributed to more than just local charities in the past year. Fuccillo Kia gave away seven vehicles for free during one contest alone, and it is currently giving away a Cape home for "Huge-a-thon 2012."
"When your nickname is huge, you have to come up with huger things throughout the course of the year," he said.
On April 2 at 7 p.m., Fuccillo will pick the Huge-a-thon winner. The house comes with a free Kia Soul in the driveway. To register for the contest, fill out a form at the dealership. There is no purchase or test drive required.
"We've been taking registrations all month," he said.
According to Fuccillo, the grand prize has a value of $160,000-$170,000 total. The home, located off of Santa Barbara Boulevard, between Pine Island Road and Veterans Parkway, contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
As for the Cape dealership, he has huge plans for it in the future.
Fuccillo is working on building a new, larger vehicle service center on the property. He expects to break ground in July or August and hopes to have it completed by the end of the year. The project could cost about $1 million.
"We want to make sure we can service the amount of cars that we're selling," he said. "Take care of the customer, and they'll take care of you."
The current, smaller service center will become a quick lube center.
Fuccillo's dealership offers new Kias and a variety of pre-owned makes.
"We're the largest Kia dealer in the United States, with the largest inventory," he said. "They (visitors) can expect to see 1,000 new Kias. Pre-owned vehicles - we have about 300 to 350, 350 to 400 at all times."
Fuccillo has been a Kia dealer for about seven years.
"I think we promote the brand really strongly," he said.
"Because of the strong warranty (of the vehicles) and value during the economic recovery years, that's what the brand stands for and that's why it's so hot right now," Fuccillo said.
Fuccillo Kia of Cape Coral is at 404 N.E. Pine Island Road.

Russ Herron Poetry Fund
The Russ Herron Poetry Fund was created in 1999 to honor a beloved family man and community member who passed away suddenly on January 15 of that year. His wife Pat describes Russ as being well loved in the community. "He was very likable and very active in the community. He was on the founding board for Art Reach, helped with the funding for the Veterans Memorial Library and involved in many other civic projects." Russ was not only loved in the community but loved the community as well. The Herrons were married for 39 years and had two children.
Russ was involved with writing for much of his life. He was a journalist at the Illinois State Register and Eastern Illinois University before moving to Michigan, where he worked at Central Michigan University for 40 years in journalism and University Administration.
Russ developed his passion for poetry as he moved closer to retirement. After Russ passed, his family thought that a poetry fund would be a fitting way to honor him. The Russ Herron Poetry Fund supports grants to various projects in the local community such as poetry workshops and readings. "Poetry is very important; the voices especially of old and young people need to be heard. I would like to see poetry events with better attendance so more people can be reached," said Pat.
The Fund has given grants to many different programs. One such program is the Wellspring Series, which is headed by CMU professor, Robert Fanning. This series is a combination of poetry and music. CMU students and faculty read their poetry and musicians perform; established poets from around the state also participate. The program takes place on the first Monday of every month. Pat is very pleased with the attendance and is happy that the Russ Herron Poetry Fund is able to contribute.
Although unable to remember the specific source, Pat shared the following insights on the importance of poetry: In dark and troubled times, ancient peoples turned to poets and mystics to find solace, understanding, and inspiration. Those old "knowers" knew that whenever we are lost, or "at a loss", the soul is nearby.

I'm taking some days off to go to the beach; first time in 4 years! Not sure I'll actually be able to walk around on the sand; as a matter of fact, I can't. But, just seeing it again after so long a time will probably be kind of emotional.
I grew up less than a mile from Brighton Beach; a mile from Coney Island; both in Brooklyn. And just a half hour to the east by bicycle put me in Riis Park, Queens. The next stop east from those places would be Spain. I never did swim it. As Burt Lancaster said in the film "Atlantic City", "The Atlantic Ocean? You should have seen it in the old days. Yeh, the ocean was really something back then."
It's like that in memory; we enlarge things. And sometimes we get disappointed when confronted with the reality of what something has become. Burt Lancaster was right in certain respects. Back in the old days the ocean was a huge barrier. No transatlantic flights; telephone service was expensive and difficult; and ocean travel was infinitely slower than today. So the ocean is smaller than it used to be in that respect.
But it still holds all of its majesty. It still has that fury when the wind kicks it up, or when the tide pulls upon it to excess. Ships still go down to the bottom; taking their crews with them; somethings never change. I've lived near it; worked upon it; swam in it; and fished in it my whole life; but it has never ceased to astound me. It's still both bigger and stronger than I am. They say it's where life began.
Well, enough for now, I'll see you when I get back! Enjoy my vacation…

The Arthur-Pieman area has been described by the Australian Heritage Commission
as 'one of the world's greatest archaeological regions' for its rich Aboriginal heritage. It
forms the western coastal section of the Tarkine and contains thousands of Aboriginal
sites. Many of these sites are being extensively damaged through off-road vehicle use.
These sites are of invaluable significance for the Tasmanian Aboriginal community. The
reserve also has historic cultural heritage significance associated with cattle grazing and
Off-road vehicle use is a popular activity in the reserve and is also one of the most
significant threats to the reserve's cultural and natural values. Impacts on significant
cultural, geoconservation, flora and fauna values are extensive throughout the area.
There are concerns about the extent of the track network as well as the scale of land
degradation at some sites. The coastal parts of the reserve are most heavily impacted
by off-road vehicle use. It is a fragile area and requires active management and
The reserve needs to be managed to protect its important values, while also
continuing to provide for a range of recreational activities. The Tasmania Parks and
Wildlife Service (PWS) is seeking the cooperation of Arthur-Pieman users and the
community to help ensure that the reserve is used sustainably and its values protected
so that it can remain accessible for visitors in the future.

current recreational vehicle use and then summarises proposals for each of the

Greenhouse Juice co. finally decided to sink their roots in one of the trendiest spots in Toronto. Located at 740 Queen Street West, the newest store features the green thumbs behind Crown Flora and marks a collaboration that was a long time coming. Hana James, co-founder and Director of Community for Greenhouse Juice Co, mentioned how Crown Flora has been providing their stores with fresh plants for a while now and as such, it made sense for them to open up a store together.
The genius of the collaboration lays in the fact that Greenhouse Juice co. and Crown Flora both have fantastic personal brand identities that marry well to each other's. The inclusion of classic greenhouse elements to the decors of the Greenhouse Juice co. stores weave a lush image once paired with the beautiful greenery that Crown Flora is known for.
The new location marks the launch of a line of Greenhouse Juice Co. products that had been exclusive to the Macpherson store until now. Visitors of the Queen West location now have the option to order from Greenhouse's smoothie menu which included the Rococoa, an addictive concoction made with almond milk, bananas and cacao among other things.
I had the chance to take part in a workshop offered by Crown Flora where the participants were taught how to create their own terrariums by Adam Mallory, co-founder of the company. His extensive knowledge of the products he offers was a true testament to the love he puts into the business, and the workshop was an absolute delight. In the past, Crown Flora hosted such workshops at their original location at Queen and Dufferin, but one would hope that with the new store, they will finally be able to host those events closer to the downtown core.
This symbiotic relationship between the two brands created a much needed oasis in an area devoid of stores offering similar products. Welcome to the Queen Street West neighbourhood Greenhouse Juice co./ Crown Flora. You can expect to see me there often.

Born and raised in West Philadelphia and currently residing in Southern California, Nareg's humble approach and passionate drive are some of the markups within his DNA. An endless student in many aspects of life, Nareg is always striving on "how to make it better" using both conventional and unconventional approaches to problem-solving.
Nareg started his career eight years ago as a hardware and software tech with Apple Computers. After about 3 years with Apple, he left and co-founded Entrance Studios, a video/marketing based startup company. Entrance Studios collaborated with many early stage startup companies in developing different types of online marketing campaigns--this enabled Nareg to collaborate with many teams and learn different types of strategies through more than one perspective.
To date, Nareg has been involved in developing nearly 20 different types of startup companies and non-profit organizations - both in the US and abroad. Within the last few years Nareg has held positions within SaaS-based startup companies serving as CTO, COO, business development, a consultant and providing mentorship.
Armenia is also a significant part of Nareg's identity. His ancestral homeland became a place where he would spend a few months at a time during his college years volunteering for non-profit organizations. Throughout the years Armenia also would become one of Nareg's most favorite vacation destinations. Naturally he always dreamed Armenia would one day be an extension of his professional career - into years down the road this idea becoming a reality. Since 2012, Nareg has invested much of his time both in and out of Armenia advising and consulting both for-profit and non-profit organizations.
Stay true, never get old, and always be passionate is what Nareg lives by. This reminder has helped achieve many milestones both in his professional and personal life. When Nareg is taking a break from work he's either planning a trip, surfing the web, playing the guitar, barbecuing, or taking photographs. The collection of images seen below are some of Nareg's most recently edited photographs.
