This is most of the cover to this month's magazine distributed by a professional organization of which I am a member. I have an official certification with this organization. I spent months studying to pass the credential to earn said certification.
Anyone notice any resemblances? Um, HELLO! Has anyone at this place ever been on these here intartubez?

Good and Bad

9 years ago
If you didn't know, I was laid off last January. I wasn't bitter. Oh wait...Yes, I WAS. Because I'd worked for that company or it's predecessor, for over TWENTY FSCKING YEARS. Nearly my entire working career.
Good news is....I started a new job last week. And am VERY happy to be there. This job will be challenging. Hopefully enjoyable. And the people are good. The pay cut....well, I'll get over it, eventually...
So, that's the good. On the sucky side of things...my mother passed away last week. It was very sudden. She had seemed totally fine over T'giving. She was suffering health issues including lung cancer, but she had been off chemo for quite some time, and seemed to be living a "normal" life. We were making plans and looking forward to her traditional visit at Christmas.
Fortunately, my new boss was very understanding, considering it was my first week on a new job. The wife and I went to the first memorial service last Friday for people who Mom's known for the past three years. (My parents had moved after 50+ years in or around the town I grew up in. We were all crushed when my dad passed two years ago.)
The service last week was unbelievably hard. We'll be heading to another service this weekend with the kids. I expect this will be even harder, as it will involve relatives and friends my brothers and I have known our whole lives.
So, some learnings:
1) If this economy has taken it's toll, keep hope. There are opportunities
2) Love your family. You never know when they'll be gone. I spoke to her on the weekend, and on Tuesday, she was gone.
3) Profit?
I'm not sure how much I'll be able to keep up with teh filter going forward as we are now a two-working parent family with 3 boys moving in different directions. I'll check in when I can, and trust y'all will keep up with the dick jokes in the chatter without my supervision.

(easily offended catholics - or others not interested in slightly religious flavored rants)
My wife is Catholic. I'm not. I accepted this at our wedding, and have accepted it since. It's complicated. I'm not a deeply religious person, but I want my kids to have some moral footing. I agree that perhaps the Catholic Church is not the best footing, but it is a structured footing, and it is one that we have contributed to over the years. The alternative is a return to my own Protestant upbringing, which is nearly identical to the Catholic church except for that guy with the funny hat.
Anyway, some of you may have noticed this economic thing that's been going on for the past year or so. Some call it the R-word. Or, please no, the D-word. Either way, it sucks for a lot of people. My immediate family included.
So, I went to get the mail yesterday. I see a letter addressed to me. Not paying attention to the return address, I open it. Start reading the letter. I note then that is from the wife's church. I should have stopped reading. But I didn't. Bad decision.
The opening sentence. "I write to you regarding parish finances". From my wife's parish priest. We're being chided for not keeping up with whatever commitment was made at the beginning of the year. Which is a lifetime ago in so many ways.
My rage was profound. Thankfully, my kids and some of their friends were in the kitchen as I read this, or I would have exploded.
The nerve. The freaking nerve. Rather than try to understand our personal situation, we are sent what appears to be a form letter. Beseeching us to "pray and reflect on your level of commitment to the Church", specifically, "how you support her in areas of treasure (what financial commitment do you make to the parish)."
Hello???? Treasure???? Aren't you a CHURCH? Isn't your goal something nobler than TREASURE????
W. T. F.??????????????????one????????????????????
I had gotten over my rage by sometime after my second cup of coffee today. And then I came upon
this story
about local churches and how they are reacting to the R-word. How they are confronting the issue. Exerting efforts. Trying to -- get this -- actually HELP PEOPLE --- who REALLY NEED IT.
Isn't THAT what Christian organizations are supposed to be all about??? I'm not a big bible thumper, but I'm pretty sure the message in the The Dummies Guide to Being Holy is more about Dad, JC and the holy spook helping people than it is about gathering treasure.
I am at loss as to how to react in a meaningful way. Don't get me wrong -- I'm totally at a gain for how to react in many non-meaningful ways - like perhaps going to church on Sunday, and sticking a copy of the letter, a copy of that article, and a COPY of a check for $20 in one of those little pre-printed customized pledge envelopes they mail us every few weeks. (Aside -- Hmmmmmm, are there any ways they might be able to cut some recurring costs over there at the church....)
I have had my issues with religion over the years, and admittedly with this church and priest in particular, but this one has put me over the edge.

Swine Flu

At dinner a couple of nights ago, we talked to the kids about the importance of washing hands regularly at school due to the contagiousness of Swine Flu. A special notice came home about this, and we were just reinforcing it. Kids got the message.
Last night, my 7 y.o. woke up with a fever. Came into our room absolutely bawling... "I......have......swine.....flu....."
Kids are funny. Of course, if it turns out it really is swine flu, well, then, not so funny.

You're like a Hammerhead Shark.
You may be goofy, but don't think other sea creatures aren't aware of you! You like to swim in large schools, and your sleek and slender figure lets you get up to speeds of 25 mph. You are normally calm unless provoked, and you usually feed around dusk. You like to live in tropical climates with warm waters, and most of your litters have up to 25 little sharks!

Something doesn't add up here...

The school board here has come up with a plan to allow "teachers to meet regularly to collaborate and discuss ways to improve individual student academic performance." The plan involved moving some times around, with the net result being that students still end up with the state mandated amount of classroom time.
The gist of the plan is that school starts 10 minutes earlier every day. Let's see, 10 minutes/day x 5 days/week = 50 additional minutes per week.
The schools then let out one hour earlier each Wednesday so the teachers can work on improving that academic performance.
It seems to me that the students are actually LOSING 10 minutes of class time per week.
The issue is compounded because there will be six Wednesdays where school will let out an additional 1 1/2 hours earlier then the already shortened day.
So, for 33 weeks, they miss 10 minutes per week, and for 6 weeks, they miss 100 minutes, for a total of 930 minutes, or 15.5 hours.
I don't get this new math. What am I missing?

I don't want to be too harsh, but, I feel it is time to tell you that you are a bloated piece of crap.
Why does a freaking browser need over 500 Megs of memory to run? You are a web browser, not a CAD program.
Needing that amount of memory of course leads to the need for page faults. Hey, all programs do it. It's not just you. But over 300 million of them? In two days? That's just wrong.
Honey, you need to lose some weight.

I journaled last year about the journey of bozlet1 and his team as they went through the Odyssey of the Mind. They won their regional tournament, then won the state tournament, then placed very respectably in the World Finals.
Well, it's OM time again. bozlet1 is taking a breather this year. This year, bozlet2 is at the top end of his age bracket. They competed this past weekend in the regional tournament.
The backdrop to their "set" was a large frame constructed of PVC. Two days before the tournament, one cross piece fell and shattered. They got a new piece, no problem. However, the new piece was thicker and was much tighter in the fittings connecting to the rest of the frame.
At the tournament, they had to bring the backdrop into the room in pieces. The clock starts, and they have to put it together, and complete their play in 8 minutes. They struggled getting it together, and finally got it up. However, one of the top corners was just resting on the fitting. The inevitable happened at a key point in their performance.
The kids weren't phased. They worked thru the rest of their problem, and ad-libbed the part of the one kid who was now holding the backdrop together. They also went over their time limit. Things were not looking good.
There are three things they get rated on. One is this performance. Despite their issues, they ended up with the top score in their age group. They also ended up with the top scores in the other two parts (style and the spontaneous competition).
They ended up winning. By a lot. So, now it's on to State Finals....
Congrats, kids!

I watched Jeopardy last nite, and it was an interesting finish. All three players were in it, but one had no way of winning. So I'm going to focus on the other two.
Player 1 (P1) has 16,600, P2 has 11,400.
P1 bets 6201, which makes sense. If P2 bets it all, he ends up with 22,800. So P1 needs to have 22,801 to win, hence the 6201 bet.
P1 bet 1000. Hmm. That seems odd. Until they both got the question wrong.
So, P1 ends up with (16,600-6201) = 10,399.
P2 ends up with 10,400, and the win. He bet that both players would get the answer wrong, and won. I don't recall ever seeing that before, but I don't watch all the time, so maybe it happens a lot.
Anyway, I knew there had to some math to explain this, and I just had to figure it out. So, here's the math:
Pn = Player n amount left before final jeopardy
Pnb = Player n bet
Pnf = Player n final amount
PnG = Player n goal amount
P1b = (2P2 - P1) + 1
in this case: 2*11400 - 16,600 + 1 = 6201
If P1 wins, P1f = P1 + P1b = P1 + (2P2 - P1) + 1 = 2P2 + 1
If P1 loses, P1f = P1 - P1b = P1 - ((2P2 - P1) + 1) = 2(P1 - P2) - 1
in this case: 2(16,600-11,400) - 1 = 10,399
P2g = P1f + 1 (i.e. P2 needs one dollar more than what P1 ends up with)
from above, P1f = 2(P1 - P2) - 1, so
P2g = 2(P1-P2)
P2b = P2 - (2(P1 - P2)) = 3P2 - 2P1
in this case: 3(11,400) - 2(16,600) = 34,200 - 33,200 = 1000
This only works, however, if 3P2 >= 2P1. And, of course you have to assume P1 is going to bet the minimum to win, and both answers have to be wrong.
Now, maybe this is some well known Jeopardy thing, but I thought it took serious balls for that guy to bet they'd both get it wrong. And, he knew how to bet properly for it. And he was able to the the math - I would have forgotten to carry a 3 or something.
This is what I was doing until 11:30 last night (DVR'd the show, watched it at 10:30).
For the record, the "answer" was something about this country allows US hurricane hunters into it's airspace. The three answers were: North Korea, China and Iran.
The correct
answer (which I got): What is Cuba.

The beast was indeed mighty. The upside is the the ghastly compy is acting MUCH better now. The downside....well, my bad. Outlook Express does NOT keep contacts in a .dbx file.

My company announced today they're laying off 1000 people or about 14% of the workforce. It will happen the week of January 5.
We've known this has been coming, but were waiting for the shoe to fall. It's a lot more than was generally expected. I have no idea if I'll be affected. I can see it going either way.
My holiday is now officially ruined. Bah Humbug, and have a Happy Fscking New Year.

This following poem is composed entirely of actual quotes from George W. Bush.
Make the Pie Higher
I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen
And uncertainty
And potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the internet
Become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish
Can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope
Where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher!

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....
If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American Story?
If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.
If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.
If you're husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.

This weekend, in a moment of absurd clarity, I realized that the world we are living in is BizarroWorld. There is no other explanation other than we are pawns in some high (or perhaps low) stake game controlled by aliens or something.
The election is upon us. We are stuck with a 72 year-old curmudgeonly clone of the current Monkey-in-Chief as the red state favorite. Who has a chance to win, because this country is riddled with idiots who vote the party line. With Sarah Palin as his running mate? Seriously? This is the best they can do? An inexperienced governor who can't put together a
cogent statement
on her (complete lack of) foreign policy experience.
The alternative is an inexperienced Senator who promises change. With a running mate with tons of foreign policy experience. Hey, that's good, right? But wait, what's that nagging feeling? Oh right, when I lived in his fair state back in the 80's, he ran for President, but dropped out of the race due to
plagiarism accusations
No matter who wins the election, we'll still be stuck in a war with no way out.
Meanwhile, the economy is crashing around us. My company's stock is trading at a fifth off it's high, and will probably continue to go down. There was a mini-run at my bank (Wachovia) on Saturday as the newspaper reported they were not FDIC insured. People, are you really that stupid? What's that? Oh, never mind, my bank is now
Wells Fargo
The gubmint has put forth a 700 Billion Dollar bailout plan. That's
illion, with a damn B. 700 of them. Meanwhile, kids in this country can't get healthcare. People who put their lives on the line for this country are homeless.
And to top it all off, Kansas City beat Denver yesterday?
I for one welcome our BizarroWorld overlords. There is no other explanation.

Before this topic I didn´t know so much about the different design models; ADDIE Model Instructional Strategies and The Five Stage Model. When I help teachers or is involved to design different kind of assignments and outcomes I can see that a lot of our teachers do the same. The teachers create the course based on traditional concepts. Sometimes when new teachers arrived to the institution and suddenly they have become course coordinator. What can they do? Hopefully they can copy last years course and see what the other course coordinator and teachers done. But I don´t think this is the best way to create a learning situation over time. We talk very little about the students learning and outcomes and how to build and design a course that will suit for a blended learning. From my point of view I have become more secure about how I can help teachers when they ask me about how to design a course. It will also confirm and improve my daily work as an educational technologist. I will have more solid knowledge to see how a course coordinator or a teacher can design a course for a deeper learning with different modes.
I have try to think and work multimodality when I help teachers to design their course room in the LMS (learning management system). The concept multimodality is something professor Günter Kress bring to the education. In Sweden we also have professor Staffan Selander how is educate teachers and he also talk about modal learning. He thinks that the didactic concept with modality learning is when your combine different kind of media like; text, images, videos, music etc for an educational purpose. To prepare your course you can use and show the material on several kind of modes.
When I look at the youtube clip about the ADDIE Model Instructional Strategies they have a person that talk english and different kind of images that moving on. They also put an instrumental music in the background of the talking. This kind of music in the background don´t interact with the content. The music don´t add anything about the ADDIE Model. It don´t have any educational purpose. I think when we use different kind of modes (languages) we have to be aware of why we are use them and what we want to communicate. Sometimes we use it to make it more flashy but if we really want to look into it in a pedagogical point of view we should be aware of the fact.

Spatial decoherence factor via the qubit-field interaction - Quantum Physics
Spatial decoherence factor via the qubit-field interaction - Quantum Physics - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Abstract: We analyze the time evolution of an initial spatial coherence for a two levelatom whose internal degrees of freedom interact with a single mode of a cavityfield. When the qubit-field subsystem is taken as an environment, thetranslational dynamics experiences a decoherence process which may be encodedin a decoherence factor D. We find that the field statistics affects D throughthe alternative paths the system-environment may follow along theirentanglement, while eventual field phase properties give rise to an imaginarypart of D which is related to the atomic translation. From the decoherenceperspective, we analyze the relation between the atomic momentum and theimaginary part of the atomic spatial density matrix, and some considerations onits asymptotic behavior are brought into question at the conclusion of thepaper.

Anyone who tows a boat, caravan or camper trailer will know how important it is to have a properly set-up towbar. And when you're taking the pride and joy car-and-trailer set-up off the road it's even more important the towing package is right, which is where ARB come into the picture.
For years ARB have specialised in tow bar systems to suit a large range of four-wheel drive and commercial vehicles via the TowMaster Class 2 (standard) and Class 4 (heavy duty) models, all of which emphasise adequate ground clearance whether one is axle deep in mud, sand or just plain rough going.
TowMaster bars are designed and manufactured to comply with – and in many cases exceed – Australian Design Rules and Standards and throughout all stages of manufacture there's strict compliance to specifications, dimensions, welding and paint quality. In fact randomly selected tow bars are cut up to check for correct weld penetration and strength.
While they are no more expensive than most standard tow bars, ARB's TowMaster tow bars are routinely matched to a vehicle manufacturer's specifications, and come with a few in-house modifications to make the unit just that little more practically enhanced.
A case in point is the tow bar fitted to the rear of the Nissan Navara, which includes a side protection bar, a rear checker plate step and in-built tow hooks to assist if bogged or in need of a tow. The unit is stylish, practical, and serves as more than just a tow bar to hitch the boat or camper trailer to.
ARB offer this particular style of tow bar with the additional step and side bars as being available for most modern styleside dual cab utilities which sees owners of vehicles like Hilux, Navara, Rodeo, Mazda BT50 and virtually all other similar models, well catered. For really heavy duty off road towing jobs, a stepped down tow tongue and tow ball set-up are part of the TowMaster range.
The fitting of a TowMaster bar at an ARB distribution point also involves heavy duty wiring and plugs installed as well.
It's important to understand that ARB tailor their tow bars to work in harmony with other accessories such as water/fuel tanks and wheel carriers which reduces potentially costly fitment and functionality problems down the track.
Last but not least, these lifetime warranted products are supported by ARB's national distribution network throughout Australia.Reads: 5519

Speaker information
Professor Martin Birchall, UCL Ear Institute
Prometheus created life from clay, and within many surgeons there is a desire to do the same in an effort to stave off death and disease. Organ transplantation has been one Promethean solution, but a lack of donor organs, ethical and other issues limits the stretch of this technology. We performed the world's first stem cell based organ transplants in an adult and then in a child, and the results suggest a new future for organ replacement. Driven by such clinical successes, science offers more and more opportunities to extend the scope of transplantation. A second Promethean myth has him punished for giving fire to man by being chained to rock and having his liver pecked out by an eagle daily for eternity. However, liver and man regenerate, and this reminds us that ultimately an understanding of the innate properties of tissues and organs to heal themselves may obviate the need for organ replacement altogether.

It makes sense that the person with the test-prep business would want your kids to take more tests (embrace them, actually). Her actual points as to why they should take them make less sense.
- Your child needs to learn how to take a standardized test. It doesn't take a decade of high-stakes testing to learn how to take an SAT or ACT – tests which are completely optional and increasingly obsolete. Colleges are recognizing that a good SAT score does not necessarily connote academic ability any more than a poor score suggests catatonia. To suggest that we must embrace the common core because if we don't start taking tests in 3rd grade then we won't have good test taking skills is the height of silliness. "Reading the passage carefully" and "looking for the answer" doesn't take a decade of careful coaching. Methinks the emperor needs to get her clothes back on. Are "compulsory" high-stakes tests the only way a student can prepare for tests (tests they merely may want to take)? If not, then what are the better ways at learning test-prep skills? Maybe I'm wrong…maybe forcing students into hours of high-stakes testing starting at age 7 or 8 and ending around 18 is the best use of time. Or maybe "test-prep" isn't that complicated, difficult, scary thing that requires a decade of state intrusion to master.
- You will learn important things about your child. That depends on what you consider important. The things you actually "learn" about your child also requires considerable faith that the arbitrary questions asked in the context of coercion and meant to isolate and quantify knowledge within a narrow subject are valid predictors of future success. In reality, these tests are more like autopsies of what learning could be, and they best assess compliance. Are compulsory standardized tests the only way to learn something important about your child? Are they the best way?
- Your child will feel good about herself. When you work hard and succeed at something then you feel good about yourself. Fair enough. But what if the child worked hard and didn't succeed (because, as the saying goes, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, then it'll always be a failure). What if your right-brained fourth grade child fails to meet some other persons' idea of ideal? If in NYC they use those scores to determine what school your child will attend, then that's a big deal, is it not? What if your child doesn't work hard and is successful at these tests, which is also possible? What does that teach? Are these tests the only way to teach determination, self-reliance, and personal efficacy? Is coloring in bubbles on a scantron the best way to access feelings of accomplishment?
- There's value in preparing for this test. There is nothing inherently wrong in a test. It's just a piece of paper, and paper is amoral. You can learn things from studying, we can all agree on that. The three painfully obvious objections are that these particular tests are compulsory (kind of), narrow in the scope of what they assess (as Sir Ken Robinson puts it, "the neck up, and slightly to one side"), and, as the author of the original post pointed out just 83 words earlier, the results of the tests have major consequences, such as which school an elementary student will attend. So you have to take the tests, regardless of your interests, passions, goals, family, culture, etc., they only test a sliver of the infinite number of things that are worthy to learn, and the results determine the quality of your next 4-10 years. But sure, I agree, there is value in studying – I think that was the original point.
- What message do you want to send? This is something I think about a lot. What message do I want to send to my own two boys? What kind of men do I want them to become? It's easier to sit, roll over, and play dead on command. It's easier to do exactly what you're told, especially when the person who is doing the telling is a school authority, or the state itself. It is much easier to not have to explain anything to your district, family, neighbors, or eight year old kid. I don't want to send the message that it is better to just dumbly do the easy thing, to not think for yourself, and to just go along to get along. Remember – schools exist for our convenience, not the other way around. They don't make demands of us. We tell them to behave, or we put them in timeout. My message to my kids is that they control their own destiny by making their own decisions, not taking someone else's test on demand.

Well, it's another Bank Holiday Monday, but it's not been quite as wet as the forecast made it to be, for once. Must admit I'm ready to say good riddance to this summer, bring on the autumn. Ever since Easter Monday when it threw down all day it's been so wet, pretty much all reservoirs and gravel pits are still full of water. Very disheartening for trying to find some passage waders, but I suppose you just have to concentrate on other birds instead.
Saturday's birding began at Uttoxeter Quarry, which had a few waders despite rising water levels again. The Greenshank and one LRP were still around, 5 Ringed Plovers were new in, plus 8 Common and 4 Green Sands. Add to this a female Pintail, a Redstart, a Yellow Wagtail and 3 Common Terns, it was a decent selection if nothing out of the ordinary.
Onto the Blithfield causeway, and a first scan immediately revealed an old friend from last week, the Marsh Harrier! Which soared over the Duckley Plantation then headed north-west, round the corner of Tad Bay, then briefly seen in Blithe Bay. Also seen from the Tad Bay hide were a Hobby, 2 Pochard and 2 Wigeon. So with these and the Pintail, the first few winter duck starting to arrive.
Whilst at Blithers a text from Mad Malc was received, to say there's a Whinchat on the Cheadle Chatline. Don't worry, the Cheadle Chatline is not one of those 0898 numbers, that kind of chatline doesn't even bear thinking about. It's not even the birding equivalent of the Samaritans. It's just a very long piece of fence wire and rough ground in a farmer's field on the northern outskirts of Cheadle, and is proving to be quite a reliable spot for passage Whinchats.
Eventually two Whinchats had been seen, but by the time I got there I managed to find one bird, perched on a bale of hay.
Zoom in a bit.
A year ago, a visit to Swineholes Wood up on Ipstones Edge, proved productive with good flocks of tits, warblers, Redstarts and Spotted Flycatchers. So that's where Sunday's birding began, but what a contrast this time. Just a single Spotted Flycatcher and 6 Willow Warblers were found in amongst a few Blue Tits and Coal Tits, surely another sign of the wet summer having a detremental effect on passerine numbers.
After that disappointment, at least Branston Gravel Pits should have some waders. This proved to be the case with a Ruff, 18 Black-tailed Godwits, 15 Green Sands, 2 Common Sands, 2 Dunlin, one Ringed Plover and 15 Curlew present.

Communities become vibrant and exciting through the cultural riches they offer, and an artistic environment is born of excellence in art education, artistic endeavors, and support by those who value the fine arts. Craven Arts Council will recognize some of those contributions through its first-ever Bernie Awards on Saturday evening during a Wine Tasting Event at the Craven Arts Festival.
Communities become vibrant and exciting through the cultural riches they offer, and an artistic environment is born of excellence in art education, artistic endeavors, and support by those who value the fine arts. Craven Arts Council will recognize some of those contributions through its first-ever Bernie Awards on Saturday evening during a Wine Tasting Event at the Craven Arts Festival.
Tickets to the event can be purchased online at cravenarts.org, or by calling 638-2577, or by visiting Craven Arts Council & Gallery at 317 Middle St. in New Bern.
Winners for the premiere event include Janet Francoeur, Dawn Pollock, Dr. Jim Congleton, and Mimi and Charlie Sforza.
The work of Francoeur, named Outstanding Artist, celebrates New Bern and can be found in homes and business both here and throughout the country. Originally from Michigan and then Colorado, Francoeur moved with her husband, Michael, to New Bern in 1989, where she began capturing the downtown area�s grace and charm in watercolor, oil, and clay.
Carolina Creations, founded by the couple in 1990, quickly became a favorite place for locals and tourists alike to shop.
�Jan�s gallery was the first to really invest in downtown New Bern; in effect, she was instrumental in creating the city�s art district,� said Carol Tokarski, executive director of Craven Arts Council & Gallery.
Tokarski added that Francoeur has that rare combination of outstanding artistic ability and business and marketing sense that is critical to giving art a strong place.
Pollock, Outstanding Arts Educator, has been inspiring and encouraging Craven County art students for 27 years. For the past 15 years, she has taught at New Bern High School.
�In addition to being a great teacher, Dawn is somewhat unique in how she also teaches her students how to give back to the community,� Tokarski said.
Pollock�s students created more than 100 bowls for Religious Community Services� Empty Bowls project. Each year, they also contribute to Habitat for Humanity�s Chair Project. Online comments from students include: �She is very knowledgeable in art and clearly has a passion for it.� �I love her class, and I will miss her. She is like a mom to all of us.� ��we did a lot of fun projects. I loved her class and requested her for next year.�
Congleton was awarded Outstanding Community Supporter of the Arts.
�When I first came to New Bern in 1989, Jim was an important supporter of the Arts Council, and when I returned to become executive director in 2004, nothing had changed,� Tokarski said. Craven Arts Council�s permanent collection of fine art, now on display at Craven Community College, began with Congleton�s Purchase Award made during the Council�s 2008 Juried Art Show. He has hosted Arts Council events at his home, was one of the original sponsors for works on display at New Bern�s Sculpture Park, and commissioned �Spider Lily,� New Bern�s first major contemporary sculpture.
Outstanding Volunteer was presented to Mimi and Charlie Sforza, volunteers for more than two decades at Craven Arts Council.
�Among other volunteer activities, Mimi and Charlie have literally worn every costume this Arts Council needed, including the Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter,� Tokarski said.
The couple coordinated the effort of preparing the Arts Council�s newsletter, Luminary, and for the past eight years coordinated the monthly volunteer schedule for docents in the Gallery.
Tokarski said nominations were solicited from the arts, education, business, and community leaders of Craven County, and nominees were judged on their long-term contributions and the impact they have on the artistic life of Craven County.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of oil and gas exploration company Callon Petroleum
So what: Callon is planning to issue 9 million new shares and provide an overallotment option with an additional 1.4 million shares. For a company with around 29 million shares currently outstanding, that is a hefty amount of dilution for shareholders to digest. Callon says it plans to use the proceeds of the sale for capital spending, general corporate purposes, repaying a chunk of debt, and, potentially, acquisitions.
Now what: The problem with a big share sale like this is that any good investor knows that you want to buy low and sell high. So with Callon's management deciding that now is a good time to sell shares, does that mean the stock is trading at a premium to its true value? The company's borrowing costs are relatively high, and debt always comes with its familiar concerns, but the cost of equity is generally pretty high unless shares are dearly priced. Of course the issuance hasn't been priced yet, so investors will want to keep an eye out for whether the company is able to price the new shares reasonably in line with the market price or whether it has to offer a discount.

We are a creative agency that specialises in creating stories worth sharing. Our CEO and Creative Director, Jeremy Mason McGraw, is known for his lighting expertise and specialized technique, which draw on his extensive artistic experience as a photographer, painter and a lighting designer for live theatre.
While we are highly skilled editors, we don't rely on post-processing to create eye-catching images. Instead, we prefer to work in camera – perfecting the lighting for each photograph while we shoot, so that you can see the image coming together, be involved in getting it exactly right, and be sure we have the perfect shot.
Our lighting technique allows us to have an incredible degree of control over our environment, which means that we can work when it's most convenient for you, and that we can achieve a consistent look across all of the images we create.
The way we light a scene also allows us to highlight specific features of your rooms, and draw out rich textures and details.
We have worked with some of the world's most stunning locations and properties, including the Hotel Baur au Lac in Zurich, Cala di Volpe in Sardinia, Hotel 7132 in Vals, Milan's Hotel Principe di Savoia, The Hotel Eden in Rome, the Hotel Danieli in Venice, the Hotel Excelsior Venice, and the St Regis in Rome.

Selling cars to young adults under 30 is proving to be a real challenge for automakers. Unlike their elders, Generation Yers own fewer cars and don't drive much. They're likely to see autos as a source of pollution, not as a sex or status symbol as their predecessors did.
Motorists aged 21 to 30 now account for 14% of miles driven, down from 21% in 1995.
They're more apt to ride mass transit to work and use car sharing services -- pioneered by Zipcar -- for longer trips. And car sharing choices are expanding, with car rental firms moving into the market, making it convenient for young folks to rent with hourly rates and easy insurance.
The rise in insurance rates, gasoline and overall vehicle costs have all played a role over the last decade in the shift. The fact that the tech industry is facilitating internet connectivity and social networking on almost every digital device imaginable also encourages more hands-free time to complete to necessary tasks the Gen Yers deem necessary as part of their daily routines. "You can text and surf a lot easier on the subway than a car," said technology consultant Patricia Fields.
The trend won't cause car sales to tank, of course, but the generational shift doesn't bode well for manufacturers and auto dealers, which for decades have counted on wooing young new drivers to their brands in hopes of cementing lifetime customer relationships.
Gen Yers are a big potential market: At 80 million strong, they represent the biggest generation in U.S. history. Baby boomers are a close second, but millions of them begin turning 65 next year -- an age at which car purchases drop off sharply.
"It's a matter of mind-set far more than affordability," says William Draves, president of Learning Resources Network, an association that studies consumer trends and provides education and training services.
"This generation focuses its buying on computers, BlackBerrys, music and software and views commuting a few hours by car a huge productivity waste when they can work using PDAs while taking the bus and train," says Draves.
Moreover, in survey after survey, Gen Yers say that they believe cars are damaging to the environment. Even hybrid electric vehicles don't seem to be changing young consumers' attitudes much.
Although much of the climate change debate is largely up in the air, many Gen Yers still feel reducing pollution is a good thing in the long-term. They're actions certainly speak for themselves.

CHADRON – Chadron State College goat tier extraordinaire Shelby Winchell had another 6.3-second performance at the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper on Tuesday and is tied for the top spot in the standings after two go-rounds have been completed.
A graduate student from Scottsbluff, Nebraska, Winchell shared fourth and fifth place in the first go-round on Monday with her first 6.3 second clocking, then had the same time Tuesday while tying for second through fifth place. Her total time of 12.6 seconds puts her at the top of the leader board with Jacoby Hotsenpiller of Southwest Oklahoma State.
Two more goat tiers, Shayna Miller of Northwest Oklahoma State and K.L. Spratt of Sam Houston State in Texas, have combined times of 12.7 seconds. All the other 56 entries have taken at least 13 seconds to catch and tie their goats.
Winchell will make her third go-round run during the rodeo's first official performance Wednesday night, then wait to see if she's one of the 12 finalists on Saturday night.
Winchell finished third in the final national standings in 2012 when she was a sophomore at Eastern Wyoming College, was among the dozen finalists in 2013 after she transferred to Chadron State and tied for the reserve championship honors in 2014, her second year at CSC.
She did not compete last year, but returned this season and has been working on her master's degree at Chadron State.
It was a mixed bag for another Chadron State veteran on Tuesday.
Clayton Van Aken of Descanso, California, saw his calf run through the loop in tie down roping, but he and his team roping mate, Trey Yates of Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, completed their run in 6.7 seconds and are fifth in the standings after two go-rounds are in the books.
Chadron State rodeo coach Dustin Luper said Van Aken appeared to be on his way to having a great time in the tie down roping, but he didn't get the slack taken up soon enough and the calf kept on running. Van Aken caught and tied his first calf on Monday in 9.0 seconds, good for a share of second place.
In team roping, Van Aken and Yates finished their first run on Monday in 7.4 seconds, good for 13th place. Their 6.7 clocking Tuesday was the ninth fastest and their total time of 14.1 seconds is fifth among the 50 teams. Their third go-round appearance will be Thursday night.
Senior bareback rider Nate McFadden of Elsmere, Nebraska, located in Cherry County, is 10th in the bareback standings with 139.5 points through two go-rounds. He'll be riding again Thursday night.
Chadron State's Colby Anders of Bayard, Nebraska, hasn't done badly in steer wrestling with times of 10.1 and 7.8 seconds, but he's 17th among the 46 contestants after two go-rounds. He'll probably need to pick up the pace a bit during this third go-round performance Thursday night in order to be among the 12 finalists Saturday night.

This has to be a record delay - it's now Wednesday, and I haven't done the weekend's blog yet, so I thought while it's still in my head I'd get something down on virtual paper.
Looking at the work diary I'm obliged to keep for the New Enterprise Allowance, to show that I'm not spending my days watching Loose Women and eating hob nobs, I see that last week saw me twice on the streets: Monday taking Spanish students around Westminster on the overseas student version of 'Of Commonwealths and Kings', and Tuesday taking Italians round on what, for convenience, I'm calling 'Squares and Palaces': from Covent Garden through Leicester and Trafalgar Squares and then along Pall Mall to St James's Palace, then Buck House and back through St James's Park to the heart of Westminster. As usual, the squirrels in the park are the main attraction, but the students react sympathetically to the story of poor Giro, the German ambassador's dog who was electrocuted when he bit through a live wire.
Giro - ein treuer Begleiter
I'm trying to find out who's responsible for cleaning the window in front of his stone: the German embassy say it's not them, so I'm trying Westminster City Council. The window's filthy, so you need a picture to show what it looks like.
I'm putting together my next tour, which will be one about law and order in the City. I've been reading up about Kitty Byron and the Lombard Street Post Office stabbing. I'm also putting together material for the walk based on trade and the City which will be the second of the series Viv Schrager-Powell and I are creating about Business and the City. Thinking of a linking theme for the tours' titles, I thought body parts might be an idea - the financial heart of the City, the sinews of trade, the commercial backbone, etc. We shall see.
Sadly, my life at the moment tends to revolve around business - such is the lot of the self-employed sole trader. Consequently I don't have much personal stuff to report for last week. I need to focus more on housework. I have someone coming round in April to inspect things in preparation for the Decent Homes work, where we have new bathrooms and kitchens. The bathroom certainly is a priority: I couldn't get the ceiling done for ages because of water penetration from the flat upstairs, and it's in a terrible state.
One positive note about last week is that I got Series 8 of the Navy Lark on CD: the previous week I'd been playing loads of episodes from Series 1-7 to get myself into an appropriately salty frame of mind for the preview of my maritime trade tour.
Anyway, that'll do for now: I'm going to brew up and get back to my tour preparations.
Cast off for'ard, cast off aft!

Hi guys, I´m so excited with all the emails and comments I received about the booklet!
So I decided to share with you all the files to download and a video with the tutorial. I´m working on it right now and I think it will be available soon.
Some people asked if I could sell some copies of the booklet and I was wondering if I could and should do that... Since all the drawings were done by me, I thought that wouldn´t have any copyright problem (Please correct me if I am wrong), but as all the little squares has the name of the tangle, and those names were given by each autor, I think it could bring me some trouble or disagreements and I REALLY DON´T WANT TO MAKING ENEMIES HERE!!! So I decided to share my work with you for free, and even though I had a LOT of work drawing and creating the booklet I think I´ll gain more friends doing that, and friends are MUCH BETTER than Money! To fix this FRIENDxMONEY possible problem I decided to create a Donation Button. So feel free to add some funds to my project if you like and use the Mosaic and the Booklet. I would appreciate a LOT your support and for sure it will help me with my work of colleting this pretty little squares.
As soon as I can I will post the tutorial video and the download links for the pages, okay?
PS: OHHH, and another way to help me is posting about the booklet in your blogs!!! =D

Today was Holi. A festival of colors. I myself was very excited about it. Had a full day of fun activities planned. Who would have known that in the midst of all the excitement I would have to succumb to fear, turmoil and panic.
As per the plan I went to my University to celebrate Holi. Whole day we celebrated. After finishing I, along with my friends, went to the Invisible Cafe (Invisible being its name not its characteristics) to have lunch. I had brought spare clothes with me in my bag. After having lunch I told my friends that I will shortly be back and went to the university to change.
I reached to the university and went to the bathroom on its far-western corner. I got inside and locked the door. It was dark. There was little bit of daylight coming through the one and only window, which was way to small. There was also a non-transparent glass on the upper shelf of the door through which little light was passing.
There I changed my clothes and packed my bag. Then I carried my bag and was ready to go home. I had plans for the evening and was looking forward for it.
I unlocked the door and pulled. But to my amazement it didn't open. Now that was strange. I looked at the lock. It turns out: there were locks. And I had unlocked the one that I hadn't locked. That was the normal kind of door locks that are used in Nepal. The one that I had locked was a sophisticated key-lock with the key entrance on the front and a lock system on the back.
I turned the lock but it wasn't unlocking. I thought a certain kind of technique might be required to unlock it. So I pushed the lock up and turned: 'click' it unlocked. I pulled the door but it would still not open.
Then I stopped. I thought of giving the lock another look but this time with a flash. By using flash I could see that somehow the lock hadn't completely unlocked and was still blocking its passage. I needed something slim yet hard like a ruler to push it upwards. But I had no such thing with me. I searched for such a tool inside the bathroom. There was nothing.
I turned off the flash and thought of giving a call to someone. But today was Holi and none of my friends were carrying their phones with them. Ahh..but then I remembered that my friend Asim had. I typed him name in my phone-book. Turns out I don't have his number. Uff…..
A sudden fear rushed into my heart.
I became so angry on myself and the situation I was in. With all my energy I tried to push the door. And when I failed I tried pulling the door. But nothing was working. And that tired me down.
I felt so helpless and alone. Until now I was busy in figuring a way out but when my body grew tired my mind became active. With every passing minute my situation got more and more intimidating. First, I experienced difficulty in breathing. It was like there was no oxygen for me to breathe. Then I felt as if the walls are closing in around me. Was I claustrophobic? Because those were the first signs of claustrophobia.
My heartbeat increased dramatically. I could fell my heart pounding inside my chest. I was on the verge of a panic attack when I saw a ray of hope coming through the non-transparent glass that was on the upper shelf of the door. Yes. That glass was my way out. But I had no prior experience in breaking glasses. I had only seen it in movies. But then again I was so desperate to get out.
So I stood on the left side of the door, curled my right hand into a fist and was about to hit the glass when I stopped. Stopped to think. I asked to myself, 'am I really going to do this? I don't even know if I can do this or not'. But I had to try. So without giving it a second thought I hit it with my best shot. And 'CLANG', my fist smashed the glass and a part of it fell on the floor. Blood started to drip from my hand but I didn't feel any pain what I did feel was relieved.
Now I could breathe in the fresh air again. But I was still not out. The job was only half done. I had only broken a part of the glass and I still had to take the rest of the glass out. I was doing so when Kul dai came. He saw my state and I explained him my situation. He was partly shocked. I was partly shocked. Never knew I had such power. Then he brought a butcher's knife and told me to use it exactly how I wanted to use the ruler, if I had one. And in no time I was actually out and free.
After coming out I glanced back at the broken glass and somehow felt so powerful. But what was I to do with my new found power, I do not know. What I do know is that we, humans, are capable of doing the unthinkable in order to survive and be free. Just like me.

After years of Friday demos in Bil'in and Saturdays and weekly days demos in other locations I took a break and traveled to the St-Imier international anarchist congress celebrating 140 years of struggle. I presented there three venues: one, the film Bil'in Habibti (Bil'in my love of Shai Polak) with discussion of the struggle in Bil'in, One about the Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall initiative, and one about the Anarchist psychotherapy I developed (http://ilan.shalif.com/psychology/content1.htm). Nothing can compare to a week with thousands of anarchists of all trends from all over the world - meeting in person comrades I work with for years. The struggle in Israel continued with out me and some reports cover the activities I missed.
Bil'in Friday 10.8.2012
25 Palestinians, 12 Israelis and 10 internationals marched towards to the wall calling for the end of the occupation, freedom for Palestine and for soldiers to refuse. After some of the shabab started removing parts of the barbed wire fence 'protecting' the 8m high concrete wall and after some rather well aimed stone throwing the skunk machine was revved up and due to the winds there was no need to be close to get the stink. Then came a barrage of tear gas. From the distance the soliders were to us many of the tear canisters landed dangerously close to the protesters missing many of us by centimeters. After a short amount of relative calm and after the shabab returned down towards the wall, we followed and again a huge amount of tear gas was used. This time encasing the protesters and solidarity activists with gas from all sides. Soon after this the shabab started to return to the village singing and chanting to their victory march. Upon our return to the village we were then hosted by the wonderfully hospitable Burnat family. Ramadan Kareem and wishing all a good weekend.

Friday 17-8-12. The end of the Ramadan demo. 11 Israelis, dozen internationals and 20 Bil'iners demonstrated as usual against the separation wall and occupation.
After a while the spray of stinking water forced most of us to retreat a bit. Later, plenty of tear gas canister forced nearly all of us to retreat further. After a while we ended the demo and returned to the village.

Protest in Nabi Saleh has just started.

Friday 17-8-12 Five Israelis some two hundred fifty international and Palestinians, demonstrated today in Qadum. As usual protest march began towards the forbidden road. Dozens of shabab were prepared with tires igbhtrd as soon as we reached the road. And put barricades and obstacles in the way - respect. The army has responded to with plenty of tear gas. Half an hour later dozens of soldiers stormed towards the center of the village, a bulldozer cleared the road from stones and the soldiers just descended on the village frantic like a vulture on the prowl. mass arrests in the weekly demo in Qaddoum. Current reports speak of several dozens of Palestinians, over ten internationals - one of them even accused as if was throwing stones, and 3 Israelis. The hand of one of the Palestinians and the leg of another were broken (as the heritage of the late prime minister Rabin promote: "break their legs and arms".)

The army remained a while for a rampage in the village, shoot some tear gas and then retreated and left. The demonstration ended with singing and triumph.
The four journalists were released immediately. The Israelis and the Internationals were also released after questioning and the usual conditions: third party signed bail, and suspension for two weeks from Samaria. Unfortunately and pain, Abdullah and Qasim were not released. They were led handcuffed to Hawara accused of throwing stones.
Friday 10/8/12 Today the demo marched in the heat of the Ramadan. 7 Israely from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and 10 Palestinians. A force of 30 soldiers waited in the entrance of the village and prevented the march to the separation fence. The demonstrators protested loudly and expressed their mind to the soldiers. No violent confrontations were developed.
Friday 17/8 occurred a similar demo.

Social Justice
During the next social justice demo, that will probably take place on Saturday, august 8th, around 20:00. follow for additional details - best to follow the event on facebook for details
Saturday, only about 500 people gradually converged at the national theater square late afternoon. After some words we marched with various chanting on the pavements towards the place where Moshe Silman ignited himself there at a previous demo and died a month ago. After a speech and a minute of silence we continued towards the building of the government offices - this time occupying the main street itself. There some speeches and chants for a long while. Afterwards most of the people marched to the tent camp of Homeless people near the train station.
Other locations activities were mainly in Jerusalem

That's the entire premise of a novel called Strange Life of Ivan Osokin by the Russian writer P.D. Ouspensky. It's a fascinating book and I won't give away the ending in case any of you decide to read it. But suffice it to say it's quite a surprising conclusion Ouspensky comes to.
So what about you? How would you live if you could live your life over again?
Here's a quote from psychologist and concentration camp survivor Viktor Frankl.
Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
Interesting, no? I suppose you could've acted rightly the first time around and really didn't need to do the opposite, but certainly I think most of us would make wholesale changes.
I know for me I would take more risks. I'd be less worried about the outcomes of things. For years I was just terrified of making mistakes. And really what that boiled down to was a fear of looking stupid AND, even more painful, the self recrimination that came along with making the mistake.
Now, it's still an issue to a degree, but I'm much freer with making mistakes. In fact, I've got a lot of catching up to do. (I'm looking to really increase my number of mistakes! And why not, for so many years I've done the opposite.) But yeah, it's like Life. Life is about making mistakes. I heard a preacher say once, "Life is a dance class for klutzes." And I keep thinking of that Steve Jobs notion of 'don't be afraid of losing anything because you lose it all in the end anyway.' How true is that!
And that's the thing, I'd been living as if I was going to live forever. "Oh, what if I make a mistake?" I'd constantly think. And then I'd catastrophize things on top of that. A slow leak in a tire became a blowout and a head-on car crash (killing a family of twelve) in my imagination.
But those days are over. I like what the writer Lucinda Bassett talks about saying it's okay to have "occasional chaos and gross imperfection." That's the new me. Did I make a mistake? SO WHAT!
But there are so many things I would've done differently if I had a chance to live over. I wouldn't have wasted so much time. I would've taken more advantage of my schooling opportunities. I would've been kinder to people. I would've believed my parents more.
How about you?

A person is said to be lunatic when his/her thoughts and actions are no longer in conformity with basic human ideals, we say such persons have lost their mind because what they do or say doesn't align with what is referred to as common sense. Every man has 3 divisions; Spirit, soul and body. The man who has lost his mind still has a body, but has a problem with that area that processes thoughts.
1 Corinthians 2:11 says - Who can see into a man's heart and know his thoughts? Only the spirit that dwells within the man. In the same way, the thoughts of God are known only by His Spirit[VOICE].
I hope you can see that as important as it is for every man to have the ability to think properly in order to be able to live effectively, in the same manner, it is very very important for every child of God to have and depend on God's Spirit in order to be effective.
I believe it's safe to say that a Christian trying to live without the Spirit of God is like a man trying to live without a sound thinking faculty. Hence, understand that you'd malfunction as a believer if you are not led by God's Spirit. The best part, is the fact that God knows how badly you need His Spirit, and He has promised to give into whoever truly desires. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and ask! God Bless You!

Having a set of stained or yellowing teeth is certainly nothing to smile about. In today's selfie-hungry society, one of people's most common insecurities—and one of the major complaints of patients visiting a Tulsa cosmetic dentist—is teeth discoloration. Several factors contribute to stained teeth.
Stained or yellowed teeth can have extrinsic or intrinsic stains. Extrinsic stains are those found on the surface of the enamel, or the hardest and outermost layer of the teeth. They are often caused by your diet. Intrinsic stains, meanwhile, are those that appear within the teeth. They are caused by factors such as medication, which alter the light-transmitting properties of the enamel or dentin, the innermost structure of the teeth.

MacArthur Middle School teacher Ronald Vos, 53, accused of sexually molesting a former male teen student, was found hanged to death about 5:45 a.m in the garage of his Buffalo Grove home. Buffalo Grove Police and Fire Department paramedics were called to his home in the 500 block of Longwood Drive in Buffalo Grove, after his wife discovered his body and called 9-1-1 before dawn this morning. The incident was presumed to be a suicide. Buffalo Grove Police are investigating and the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office will conduct an independent investigation.
Ronald Vos was charged with criminal sexual assault last week after discovery that he had improper contact with a student while the boy was 13 to 15 years old. Vos was accused of four separate criminal offenses in his MacArthur Middle School office and in his car parked in Wheeling between September 2005 and March 2007. He also was accused of giving the victim cigarettes and alcohol and reportedly exchanged e-mails and instant messages with the teen.
Ronald Vos was released after posting 10 percent of a $100,000 bond and was due to appear in court Feb. 27, 2009.
