Christmas is about worship
I think it is easy as a Christian to rail against the fact that Christmas has been stolen from Christians: the reason for the season is not the Christ-child but Christmas presents, staff parties, and arguments over "merry Christmas" versus "season greetings".
Rather than become negative and critical, spending our time saying what we are against, I want to encourage us with a positive statement of the core of Christmas: intense and exuberant worship of the Christ-child.
- Elizabeth worshipped
Luke 1:41-42 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby moved within her. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and said in a loud voice, "You are the most blessed of all women, and blessed is the child you will bear!
- Zechariah worshipped
Luke 1:68 Let us praise the Lord, the God of Israel! He has come to the help of his people and has set them free. He has provided for us a mighty Saviour, a descendant of his servant David.
- The Angels worshipped
Luke 2:13 Suddenly a great army of heaven's angels appeared with the angel, singing praises to God: "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom he is pleased!"
- The Shepherds worshipped
Luke 2:20 The shepherds went back, singing praises to God for all they had heard and seen; it had been just as the angel had told them.
- The Magi worshipped
Matt 2:11 They went into the house, and when they saw the child with his mother Mary, they knelt down and worshiped him. They brought out their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, and presented them to him.
- Mary worshipped
Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour"
The foundation of a true and proper Christmas celebration is worship. Not singing songs but an attitude of heart, something that wells up from inside, whereby we are so filled with wonder and gratitude for what God has done for us. It is abandonment to God like David dancing before the Ark of the Covenant in his underwear in praise and adoration. It is 'lost in wonder, love and praise'. This Christmas may we sing with renewed zeal the words of the great Christmas hymn:
O come let us adore him,
O come let us adore him,
O come let us adore him,
Christ the Lord

'Time Machine': Aamir Khan's shelved Sci-Fi movie from 90s
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is synonymous to success of a film if he is featured in it. But little did his fans know that he had waived off his entire fee for a film made in early 90's, so that the film could be released.
Sadly, even then the film could not be completed. Titled 'Time Machine', it was a movie by none other than director Shekhar Kapur. This film was Shekhar's next big sci-fi project after 'Mr. India' (1987).
But, it was subsequently shelved due to financial constraints, and was never completed or released. It's been exactly 25 years now since the time it was shelved, after it was completed almost 75% in the year 1992.
Aamir Khan's character was to go back in time from the period of 1990's to that of 1960's to meet his future parents before they ever met each other.
Raveena Tandon was signed on to play the romantic interest of Aamir Khan's character. 'Time Machine' was perhaps their first film paired together on screen. Later on, they went on to do films like 'Parampara' and 'Andaz Apna Apna'.
Veteran actors Naseeruddin Shah and Rekha were playing the parts of Aamir Khan's onscreen parents. Aamir and Nasseruddin went on to work together in 'Sarfarosh'.
In year 2008, reports suggested that Shekhar Kapur was making an attempt to revive the film with a new cast. Some sources had even said that he was keen on casting Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role but hadn't approached him till then.

Freshie Friday!!! The Road Trip, Part Four
The Road Trip Part Four – See the USA the Vampire Way!
Beth awoke in Mick's arms feeling loved and happy. This was where she was supposed to be; she knew, had somehow always known it. She tried to stretch without waking him up only to realize he was watching her through eyes that only appeared to be shut. She grinned at him and leaned up to kiss him quickly on the lips.
"Good morning," she whispered against his neck, nuzzling her nose against it.
"Good morning to you, too. Sleep well?" he said and he pulled her against him, feeling her pliant body wrap around his own.
"Yes, wonderfully! You?" she queried.
"Um hm, better than I have all week. I missed you so much."
"Ditto." She could feel his hard length pressed against her thigh and she smiled. She decided to take advantage of it by straddling his hips and guiding him inside her willing body. It felt sublime, the way he fit into her perfectly, filling her and making her ache for him.
She rode him quickly and hard, as much for her own pleasure as his. Mick pulled her down to him and sucked her nipple into his mouth, tugging on it gently with his teeth and then laving it tenderly with his tongue. It made her work even harder as he slid his mouth wetly across her chest to capture her other rosy nipple in his mouth. She felt his teeth graze her teasingly and her belly fluttered and quivered in anticipation of him biting her there. She ground her hips harder against him, feeling him come into contact with her g spot; she trembled and moaned, his name escaping her lips in a rush of air. She threw her head back as her orgasm came fast and hard and she was only vaguely aware when Mick turned his head and bit into his shoulder as he moaned through his own release.
Panting, she moved off of him and she realized she was covered in a fine sheen of sweat as she let out a long sigh of satisfaction. They both laid there in the bed, sunshine peeking through a tiny crack in the drapes. Both of them felt at peace. Then that peace was shattered by the room phones shrill ring.
"Josef." they both said at the same time and Mick reached over her to pick up the receiver.
"Hello?" he said. Beth stood up and started stretching. He eyed her while trying to listen to what Josef had to say. He could feel himself becoming aroused again and so he shut his eyes tightly to block the vision of her; it didn't help at all because Mick had a very thorough knowledge of her body and imagination took over where sight left off.
"Hm, half an hour? Josef, we just woke up! Give us an hour to get showered and all." Mick listened to Josef on the other end and finally mumbled, "Okay, we'll be out in a while!"
"Half an hour?" Beth asked, heading into the shower.
"He'll wait 45 minutes he said. They are anxious to get started." Mick stood up and flexed his muscles in a very sexy stretch. Beth's eyes lit up and Mick grinned before telling her, "Josef said he isn't waiting for us to fool around!"
"Maybe this isn't such a good idea," she told him as she turned the shower on. "I mean the trip; maybe we should just stay here!"
"No way, I can't wait. I can see you every day, but how often will I get a chance to see the Grand Canyon?" he teased. He ducked as she threw an extra role of toilet paper at him and then followed her into the shower.
"How about I wash you and then you can wash me?" she asked him, trying to look totally innocent.
Mick chuckled and said, "No way baby, you're on your own! Josef awaits."
They managed to make it through the shower, get dressed, get Mick packed and checked out of the hotel and get to the bus in just less than 45 minutes.
As Mick and Beth stepped into the bus Josef's head immediately came up and he stared intently at Beth. He took a couple of steps towards her and Mick could see that he was scenting her.
Beth blinked under Josef's close scrutiny and cast a quizzical eyebrow upwards, meeting his gaze. He walked around her, as if to inspect her from all angles before stopping in front of her again. His mouth opened to speak, but Mick cut him off.
"Not now, Josef!"
'Um hm. Well, congratulations anyway!"
Beth looked at Mick in question, wondering what that was about. To Josef, she managed to say, "Thanks, I guess."
Josef's expression changed to a cheesy grin and he shrugged. He'd get the scoop out of Mick later he decided but right now they had a show, er, bus to get on the road!
Josef and Simone had waited for them so they could all have breakfast; there were glasses of blood for the boys and muffins and coffee for the girls. After they finished Beth and Simone got everything squared away in the galley while Mick took his luggage into their bedroom.
"Nice," Mick said as he looked around. It was small, understandably so with only a single bed, but at one end of the long, narrow room was a freezer. Mick sighed with pleasure as he inspected it and couldn't wait for a little chill time.
Josef was preparing to start the bus when Mick came out of the bedroom. A thought occurred to him and he said, "Hey, don't you need to have a CDL to drive one of these things Josef?"
"Yeah, you do. I do," he said as he put on a ball cap and turned the key. The engine roared to life and Josef smiled, totally fascinated by the soft rumble.
"Wait, how in the hell did you manage that? You have to be tested!"
"I didn't manage it – Logan did. You know," he said, looking at Mick and grinning broadly, "There is pretty much nothing that boy can't accomplish!" He opened his wallet and showed Mick his new CDL license.
Mick took it and shook his head as he read it. It certainly looked authentic; Logan was good, but did that mean Josef could actually drive this thing? It was huge. He handed the license back to Josef and watched as he stowed it away and reached down to fasten his seat belt.
"So you can actually drive this thing?" Mick asked as the bus started to slowly move.
"Mick, I got us here from LA didn't I? I'm an old pro on it by now, so just relax!"
Mick took a seat and eyed the road ahead skeptically. The road from LA was mostly interstate, where they were headed was twisty mountain roads; how would Josef handle that he wondered. Suddenly, this whole trip didn't seem like such a smart idea.
"Well, looks like we'll need to find a truck stop to get some fuel before we get on the road to Yosemite," Josef said as he drove the bus out onto the highway. "Everybody keep your eyes open."
Beth and Simone started laughing at Josef's words; Mick watched them both and wondered why. "What is so funny?" he inquired.
That question caused Beth to choke on the mouthful of coffee she had just taken. She sputtered and Simone laughed some more as she got up to grab some paper towels to wipe the mess up with.
"You okay Beth?" she asked as she patted Beth on the back.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Beth said, wiping the tears away from her eyes. Whether they were from all the coughing or laughter Mick couldn't tell.
Josef had been oblivious to the whole incident as he focused on the road, but he spoke up as he saw his target ahead. "Look, there's a truck stop ahead. Now I just have to get over there into the right lane." He frowned in concentration as he watched the traffic behind him. His blinker was on to signal his move but traffic didn't make room for the bus and the exit flew past without them making it.
"Damn jerks!" he sputtered. "Don't they know what the hell a turn signal means?" He sped the bus up, in a seeming race with a SUV that was keeping pace with them. He gunned it a bit more and then slid the bus over into the right lane where hopefully they would find another exit for gas. "Hah! That'll teach you to mess with me," he practically yelled.
"Josef, you are aware that they couldn't hear you, right?" Mick laughed.
"They knew, trust me. It's a game out here on the road, let me tell you!"
"Was he like this yesterday?" he asked Beth and Simone.
Beth only shrugged and Simone looked down. Obviously neither one intended to answer that question. Just then the bus strayed for a moment onto the right side shoulder and the tires squealed as they hit the break-down lane rumble strips.
"Hey, hey Josef, stay on the damn road," Mick yelled.
"Listen Grandma, everything is under control!" he answered back. He had spotted another exit with a truck stop and was gradually slowing the bus in preparation to take the off ramp.
They made it into the truck stop and Josef pulled the bus to a halt in front of the pumps and turned the bus off. He opened the door and stepped out, looking around him as if for something Mick thought.
"What is he waiting for?" he asked.
Both girls burst out laughing again and Beth shook her head. "I think he is probably looking for someone to bribe to pump the gas. He paid some guy $50 yesterday! We're not sure he knows how to do it!"
"You gotta be kidding me," Mick said as he jumped out of the bus and headed to the pump. "Josef, here, let me pump the damn gas, okay?"
"Mick, it's called 'diesel', not gas. And uh, it's the green nozzle," he said, indicating the pump on the right. He slid his credit card though the slot and the pump said 'Ready'.
Mick pumped the diesel and put the nozzle away as Josef waited for his receipt to print. When they finished they both climbed back onto the bus and prepared to depart.
After they got back out onto the highway Mick started to relax. It was all going pretty smoothly and it was easy to enjoy the scenery. The bus really did ride like a dream and he soon settled down to admire the morning. The scenery was beautiful, farm land and in the distance the high Sierras could be seen tickling the sky. The morning passed peacefully into afternoon. Since they weren't in a hurry they had taken the scenic route to Yosemite and Mick was enjoying every mile.
"So Josef," Beth said, coming to stand near the front of the bus. "Tell me about being a cattle rustler!"
'Not much to tell really. It seemed a good way to make it across the USA; not a lot of towns and stuff out there in 1840. And it wasn't necessarily always a cattle rustler as it was a, uh, cowboy really. People, and therefore food was a little hard to come by."
"And being with the cattle helped with that how? You fed on the other rustlers or cowboys?" she prodded.
"You know, I've decided that I'm not going to call you Blondie any longer. I'm going to call you Lois Lane because you ask so many damn questions!"
Beth shrugged and said, "Whatever. So, you fed on the other cowboys?"
Josef shook his head and gave Mick a look that said, "Can't you shut her up?"
Mick only laughed and said, "You're on your own here, Josef. She's pushy!"
"Look Lois, the cows, okay? You followed the cows and you had food!"
Beth's face blanched as his words sunk in. "You – you drank blood from the cows?" she asked, repulsed.
"You eat steak?" Josef fired back. He stole a glance at her in the mirror and said to Mick, "Oh look, she's speechless! You better mark this one down on the calendar!"
Mick tried hard to hide his smile. Josef was right, he'd never seen Beth speechless before.
Beth was still reeling from Josef's words and finally muttered, "I guess you did what you had to do, in the circumstances." She made her way back to the galley where Simone was opening a bottle of wine. She pointed to a glass for Beth as if to say, "You want some?" Beth nodded and took a large gulp gratefully when Simone handed her the glass.
"I don't know why that shocked me," she said to Simone. "I mean, he's right, what else could they have eaten?" Simone nodded as she sipped her own glass of the chardonnay.
They heard Mick say, "Hey, there's our turn off up ahead Josef. Looks like we're going to be on a two-lane highway now!"
The girls looked out the window; they were in the foothills and they could see the snow-capped Sierra's up ahead. They looked beautiful and Beth couldn't wait to get there. Maybe they could build a snowman, in the middle of summer! It was an enchanting idea!
An hour later they were driving on a winding road through a small town right before they could enter the park. The bus had come to a stop and the sign up ahead told them that they had to make a right turn ½ mile ahead. Mick again eyed the narrow road and hoped the turn would allow them enough room.
Their turn came up and Josef grimaced when he saw it. He slowed the bus down to a crawl and unconsciously bit his lower lip as he concentrated on the turn. Luckily there was no other traffic around and so he maneuvered the bus slowly. The next thing he knew there was a loud thump and the bus shimmied as it rolled over something. He quickly pulled it to a stop and he and Mick got out to see what was going on.
Beth and Simone made their way to the window to see what had happened. They couldn't see what they hit but they could hear Mick and Josef talking.
"Man, you killed it Josef," Mick exclaimed as he shook his head.
"Um hm. It sure is flat now, huh?"
"What is that leaking out of it?"
"I don't know, but it really smells bad."
"Well, it'll never move again, that's for sure!" Mick was trying to move whatever it was, without any luck it would seem.
Beth and Simone looked at one another, appalled. They had killed something? What? Both girls made their way to the door way to step outside; neither one sure they really wanted to see what they had killed but knowing they had to find out.
Mick and Josef were both struggling with something that was wedged under the rear tires. Finally they managed to pull part of it free and stood there looking at what had once been a rolling garbage can.
Beth and Simone both let out a collective sigh. Simone shook her head and turned around to head back into the bus. The boys were right; it really stank, whatever had been in it.
Beth followed her into the bus and watched at Simone pulled another bottle of wine out of the fridge. "Would you like another glass?" she asked as she opened the bottle.
"Love some. Here, let me pour!"
The men struggled with the garbage cart for a half an hour before they finally got it out from under the bus. Josef had tried moving the bus but the cart was wedged awkwardly and so the bus couldn't move much. They finally had to get the hydraulic jack out to raise the bus up enough to get it out. They might not have even got that accomplished if another RV hadn't come along, the driver offering to help them.
"Yep, been through this myself a time or two," he told them, offering his hand as well as his assistance. "Marty Martin is my name! What you fella's need to do is get your jack out and lift this sumnabeech up! Here, let me show you!"
It didn't take too long from that point and it had gathered a crowd of locals who were watching, including the owner of the former garbage cart. Beth watched anxiously as both Mick and Josef struggled; the sun was beating down fiercely and she knew that they both had to be nearing a breaking point.
Once it was done and the owner refused Josef's apology but did accept the $100 bucks the men climbed aboard and shut the door. Josef moved the bus a bit farther down the road into a parking lot and shut it down for a few minutes in an effort to regain his composure.
Mick hadn't said a word since he had climbed back onto the bus, only went to the fridge and poured himself a tall glass of blood out of the thermos. He drank it down in a couple of swallows and stood there for a moment trying to calm down. Josef joined him after he had the bus safely parked and drank a glass of blood as well. He eyed Mick, speculatively, knowing that he was seething.
"Well, come on Mick; say whatever you have to say!"
"Josef, I, uh," Mick shook his head, trying to straighten out his jumbled thoughts. "You just don't think! The things we don't know about this bus are dangerous! We just took off, willy-nilly on some great adventure, without a care for what could happen. What if that had been a person. Josef? What if the police were involved?" He looked around the bus, exasperated.
"How would we have explained freezers in the bedroom, or, or blood in the fridge? And that license of yours, would it really pass muster in the system?" He sat down and leaned his head back against the window and gulped in a deep breath as he struggled for control.
"I – I don't know, maybe we shouldn't be doing this," he told them, rising to his feet. "I gotta get some rest!" He headed off to the bedroom silently and they heard the door close behind him.
Beth stood up to follow him and Josef laid his hand on hers and said, "No Beth, give him some space, he just needs some time, okay? He's not really mad at me, he's just upset with the situation. It'll be okay, I promise!"
Beth nodded her head solemnly, wishing for a moment that they had never even come on this trip!
To be concluded in On the Road Again...

Dumping Leads to $100,000 Fine
Humboldt Co. District Attorney's Press Release: Richard Miller, former owner of Redwood Motorsports in Eureka, has been ordered to pay $100,000 to settle a 2006 lawsuit related to illegally dumping pollutants into storm drains. Under the terms of the agreement, Miller will also reimburse more than $28,000 in agency costs and remove an illegally abandoned underground storage tank.
The civil action against him was initiated in 2003 by the Department of Health and Human Services Division of Environmental Health (DEH). DEH Director Melissa Martel led the investigation. The Humboldt County District Attorney's Office filed charges against Miller and the terms of the settlement were finalized this year.
Following the initial investigation, 17 violations were filed, including failure to provide personnel training, failure to provide required paperwork, and illegal disposal of hazardous waste. According to Martel, the dumping of hazardous substances continued and 16 additional violations were cited.
An unrelated 2005 investigation revealed that hazardous waste from Miller's Eureka business was being illegally transported and stored in Carlotta. Large drums filled with pollutants had deteriorated and some were leaking waste oil, solvent and gasoline into the soil.
In addition to the payment of fees and fines, Miller was required to clean up both properties. Deputy District Attorney Christa McKimmy, who prosecuted the civil case against Miller, said she hopes these costs will cause polluters to think twice about illegal dumping. "This case illustrates that it really doesn't pay to disregard the rules," McKimmy said. "We hope that businesses recognize this and act responsibly to protect our environment."
District Attorney Paul Gallegos said, "Sadly, toxins and pollutants dumped into our sensitive waterways and ecosystems don't simply disappear. They linger in our environment and do untold damage for years to come. The sooner we can catch and stop perpetrators like Miller, the more effective we can be in limiting that harm."
Since the judgment against him was entered earlier this year, Miller has paid $28,000 in cost recovery to DEH and more than $13,000 of the $100,000 penalty.
Martel noted that fines such as these are levied against polluters only after other efforts to obtain compliance have been exhausted. "While local agencies work hard to educate the public about community about hazardous materials laws and regulations, sometimes fines and penalties are warranted," she said. "We do our best to keep Humboldt healthy."

NORTHEAST GLENDALE — Glendale Community College's men's golf team accomplished two things Monday during its Western State Conference home match at Oakmont Country Club.
First, the Vaqueros won by five strokes over College of the Canyons. Of greater significance, the victory allowed them to build upon their chances in their quest to qualify for the Southern California Regionals for a second season in a row.
"With the win, we've been able to separate ourselves," said Glendale college Coach Greg Osbourne, whose team carded a 390 and leads third-place Santa Barbara City College by eight wins with three matches remaining. "This is basically what we set out to accomplish.

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY â PENETRATION TESTING VS. SOURCE CODE ANALYSIS, with Thomas Ryan. A penetration test is a method of evaluating the security of a computer system or network by simulating an attack by a malicious user, known as a Black Hat Hacker, or Cracker. The process involves an active analysis of the system for any potential vulnerabilities that may result from poor or improper system configuration, known and/or unknown hardware or software flaws, or operational weaknesses in process or technical countermeasures. This analysis is carried out from the position of a potential attacker, and can involve active exploitation of security vulnerabilities. Any security issues that are found will be presented to the system owner together with an assessment of their impact and often with a proposal for mitigation or a technical solution. The intent of a penetration test is to determine feasibility of an attack and the amount of business impact of a successful exploit, if discovered. — Recorded at the Open Web Application Security Project (www.OWASP.org) NYC Conference on Sep 25, 2008 â Content produced by www.MediaArchives.com – Many other OWASP Conference videos available on www.OWASP.tv Get Involved Today! —

Pineapple Salt & Pepper Set (Candle Holder?!)
(Villeroy & Boch)
This is a fab and quirky pineapple shaped salt & pepper set from renowned makers Villeroy & Boch. The pepper pot is the top half of a pineapple and then the salt is stored in the base which looks like a pineapple cut in half. Ideal if like me you use sea salt. Stack the pepper pot on top of the salt to keep it dry. This comes in super condition and is absolutely ideal for use as an ornament in any room of your home too! Super - Duper!!! After a little research we are wondering if the base of this is actually a candle holder?! Whatever you choose to use it for we are sure you'll love it! clearance

Question: I've heard you lose everything you have when you file for bankruptcy, even your house and your car. Is that true?
I did some research last year on this exact issue as I was preparing to teach some lawyers in Nashville about the evolving Tennessee exemption rules. Wait, let me take a step back right quick. What are exemptions, and why do they matter? Exemptions are the laws that allow you to protect certain valuables from your creditors.
Yes, bankruptcy laws, specifically exemption laws, allow you to to keep a lot of your stuff once you file bankruptcy. The point of filing bankruptcy is not to penalize you, but to give you a fresh start and to let you keep enough things to help you restart your life after the case.
So last summer, I'm doing this research, and I came across this very interesting statistic.

and Abstract: This project is designed to provide new information on the degree to which American households are financially well-prepared for retirement. We rely on an augmented life-cycle model, modified to incorporate essential aspects of the various pieces of the problems that we study, to conduct our work. We focus on two factors that the literature (and we) believe are important influences on the wealth available for retirement. First, despite a vast literature relying on the life-cycle model to examine wealth accumulation, few papers focus on the role of children. Our work will highlight the role children play in wealth accumulation. In doing so, we compare the effects of children on wealth to the effects if asset- and income-tested transfers on wealth. Our work also has potentially important implications for thinking about Social Security replacement rates. Second, we will examine the role of pensions on non-pension wealth accumulation. While a large prior literature examines this topic, our work differs by accounting fully for lifetime (past and future) resources. More importantly, past estimates of the effects of pensions on non-pension wealth accumulation are difficult to interpret if there is a mixture of credit constrained and unconstrained households in the samples used for estimation. We clarify these issues and offer a new way of thinking about the effects of pensions on wealth accumulation. Our third proposed project will examine the way in which wealth interacts with retirement expectations and retirement. One way for some households to respond to actual or perceived shortfalls (surpluses) in retirement wealth is to defer (hasten) retirement. We will use differences between actual and optimal net worth (derived from an augmented life cycle model with uncertainty) to study the way retirement expectations and wealth are correlated with retirement decisions. We will also develop and estimate the parameters from a new model of retirement. Our fourth project will provide a comprehensive look at the adequacy of retirement wealth preparation of households in different U.S. birth cohorts. In earlier work we showed that the original HRS cohort, born between 1931 and 1941, overwhelmingly were on track in 1992 to having resources in retirement necessary to maintain their accustomed living standards. A critical unresolved issue, however, is the degree to which these results hold for other cohorts, particularly those born after 1941. Our proposed work will answer this question.
We propose new fundamental analyses of factors central to understanding the living standards of Americans in and prior to retirement. There is a well-documented association between wealth and health. Understanding the factors associated with wealth accumulation may improve understanding of the health-wealth relationship. Moreover, consumption and health are fundamental inputs to the well-being of elderly households. Our work will provide new models and empirical work on factors influencing consumption and hence, well-being.

My babies are so hungry!! They are finally flying and will soon leave the nest! This was taken about 3 days before they started to try and fly.

Sophia : : Azzolina Photography Babes
I photographed Sophia's mommy and daddy on their wedding day in February 2009. I remember it vividly because it was Valentine's Day and snowed so beautifully for a short period of time. When Nichelle said she wanted to photograph her three year old baby girl in her wedding dress, I was so excited. How fun! Here are some of my favorites from Sophia's bridal/third birthday shoot. I must say she is the youngest bride I have ever photographed ; )

220426 Advice in graphics in IE
Bajet N/A
This project is to advise me about graphics in IE explorer. The project does not entail any programming, just explanation (you could say I want to hire you to give me some support).
This is the problem:
We have a site that displays graphics: [url removed, login to view]
See example (attachment1).
Sometimes these graphics simply don't show in IE. Strange thing: some other graphics do show (see attachment 2).
The browser does search for the right picture (file name), but then says 'ready' without showing the picture.
I last tested this on a wide screen laptop, IE explorer version [url removed, login to view]
The project is finished when you can explain to me why this is and what I should do about it (and when that works).
You will have to give the advice without access to the php programming.
Please don't give the advice in the PBB, because then I'll feel guilty for not talking your bid.
Just make your bid.

Here is stunning example of a solid oak painted shaker kitchen. The kitchen units around the walls are painted in mussel and have a 40mm solid oak worktop fitted.
The island units are painted in our brown grey colour and has a white quartz worktop fitted.
This customer came into our showroom with some kitchen plans and ideas of what she wanted. between us we altered the design around slightly so it suited her space better and worked more piratically and i must say the finished kitchen looks amazing.
This kitchen was a complex installation for our kitchen fitters to install due to the funny angles of the walls and the custom wanted the kitchen wall units to be 900mm high with a infill above the units filling the gap to the ceiling.
The island has a electric touch control hob with a ceiling hung extractor the 4 curved base units really do make the island a look complete.
The 300 larder unit is fitted with one of our soft closing pull-out larder mechanism as can be seen in the pictures.

Having an inviting and lavish front yard is the perfect way to show creativity, enjoy relaxing time outdoors as well as to improve curb appeal. Achieving that perfectly colored and neat look doesn't come easy or cheap, but with some planning, patience and few wise choices along the way, a beautifully landscaped front yard is going to attract the attention of passers-by. There are ways to improve the overall look, reduce maintenance and to even save some money with clever budget-friendly front yard landscaping.
Dealing with a lawn can take too much time and money and often with poor results, especially if you are living in an arid region. Keeping the grass neat, green and weed free is not that simple, so consider downsizing your lawn and planting some easy-maintenance ground cover. Place them in the spots where is most difficult to maintain the grass, like transitional space and shady areas. Plant these useful creeping ground covers and rest assured they will germinate rather quickly and take over the parts of the yard. Best choice for ground covers is bishop's weed, lamium and thyme.
Young plants
If you wish to do some planting, avoid mature plants since they cost more. Although it does take some patience, buying younger plants can save you a lot of money. Also, you may want to try to grow plants from seeds, but keep in mind that it is a risky venture and it takes too much time. When planting young plants bear in mind their full-grown size and make sure they have enough room to grow freely. They will grow sooner than you think and you'll have a lovely garden at a half of the price.
Since you will be planting, do not fall into the trap of buying a potting soil but prepare the soil yourself. Make some homemade compost and mix it with soil to provide much-needed nutrients for your plants. Creating a compost pile isn't that complicated while it is a perfect way to dispose of food scraps and other organic matter from your home. Compost is the best way to feed your soil, but if it is a too much trouble than use mulch.
Plant perennials
Perennials are a great choice since you get the break from planting flowers every year. Daisies are simple and charming while they look great in every garden as well as next to any other flowers. Other perennials that can look fabulous are geranium, lavender, and catmint. Not only they will add a splash of color but will spread the lovely scent all around.
Plant a tree
No matter how small front yard is, there is always enough space for a tree. Musa garden designers practice placing a single tree in front of the house since it creates a great focal point and it looks adorable. If you are in no hurry and look for ways to save money, consider planting a sapling instead of an older tree. A few years from now you'll be having a lovely shade coming out of your full-grown tree, not to mention the lower costs of cooling.
You can even try landscaping under trees, but you have to select plants that can grow in reduced light and moisture. Plants like Siberian irises, Ninebarks, Columbines, Japanese painted fern etc. are some good choices.
Group the planters
Plant the flowers in the planters and group them around the front yard. Place three planters of different sizes in the group and make sure to plant vividly colored flowers. Create a cascading look of colors but try not to go overboard. Remember that front yard is not a savage garden and that it takes only a few details to make it tasteful and elegant. Leave some space to have a clear way to the front doors, while you can go wild in your backyard garden.
To make the front yard neat and appealing is as important as painting the house. The look of the front yard can say a lot about the homeowners. Well-designed and tidy front yard will give away the impression of the warm and well-organized household. Aside from what passers-by might think, having an attractive front yard is a sight for sore eyes for all the members of the family that are coming back home. Good news is that it doesn't have to cost a fortune to create a fabulous entrance to your home.

Panerai's Immaculate Team
Panerai has unveiled the Luminor 8 days set, made up of two watches, inspired by models created in 1966.
The first is a left-handed version of the Luminor Black seal, and the second is a rare Luminor daylight with a white dial and blue markers. The two pieces are presented in a special box, one that was typically used for vintage style Luminor watches. The box itself is made of pear wood and contains a model of a human torpedo.
It also features a rare excerpt about the military equipment of the special forces of the Royal Italian navy, in which Panerai instruments and watches are featured.
Known for making exceptionally beautiful watches for the left-handed, the Luminor Black seal left-handed is just that. The timepiece has a sleek 44mm steel case with a special diamond like carbon coating, stylish and functional, it is also water resistant till up to 300 metres.
The dial is black and features luminous arabic numerals and hour markers. The Luminor daylight 8 days is the other watch in set. The timepiece itself is a reproduction of a model originally made in 1996. The colour combination was removed from the line of watches after the initial roll out, yet it served as the inspiration for this particular model.
What stands out about this timepiece is the striking contrast between the white dial and the deep blue coloured hands. To finish the piece in tonal harmony, there is a blue alligator leather strap. The Luminor daylight 8 days has a 44 mm case and is made of aisi 316l stainless steel, complete with a polished finish.
Both watches are water-resistant to a depth of about 300 metres. The box in which they come in also includes a spare strap for each piece, as well as a screwdriver.

Uefa members rail against Gianni Infantino's plan for new Club World Cup• Proposal for revamped calendar meets 'serious reservations'
• 'Global Nations League' also mooted in $25bn scheme
A proposal by the Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, to expand the Club World Cup dramatically and to start a league for national teams, for a claimed $25bn from unidentified investors, has met strong criticism from within Uefa.
Infantino, who faces re-election next year, presented the proposal in March for a new summer 24-club World Cup every four years, and a "Global Nations League" with a final eight-country round of matches, also every four years. He has told Fifa's six confederations, including Uefa, that the investors are promising the projected $25bn for four editions of each competition over 12 years between 2021 and 2033. The investors were described as "among the world's most solid" but are unnamed, as Infantino said he had signed a non-disclosure agreement.Continue reading...

Im at the Café Du Monde in New Orleans. Lights.
French Quarter. People. Laughing. Peoples face jolly with redness after a few drinks.
Even warmer in the hot humid new Orleans weather. Taxis going by. Chatter. Someone smoking a cigar. Someone smoking in public. Safe to say that this is a giant tourist attraction. T shirts on the fucking menu? Do tourists ruin an area? Do they make it illegitimate? Does the fact that the café itself has a menu which includes tshirts? T shirts? A souvenir? That's it what a fucking rip I could go to a fucking in and out and get a t shirt. What makes this place special? Maybe it's the fact that you can do something like that? That it is clearly relatable to people.
That it did have a special episode of the travel network dedicated to it. I can go to someone who had been in New Orleans before and mention the place and they might actually know what Im talking about- Relate- ability. Social proof. Isn't social proof one of the most important things in an establishment such as this?
Yeah seriously- I feel like the douche bag typing on his laptop in the café- Yeah Im the artsy indie guy pretending like he's cool or something- Society, that's what its all about. You have to cater to their needs- You have to give people what they want or else you'll get no where. Placation? Is that all that it takes- Just a little bit of bullshit? Yeah I think so
. Who the fuck knows? Is it the tourists behind me, the tourists in front of me the tourists around me? I just offered to pay the bill- Everyone said no- I guess that sort of placation doesn't work at all. What the fuck? Why didn't that work. It was an act of incerity trying to be nice or something. Such an empty answer something so insignificant something that doesn't affect anything. Forgotten yet I remember that I made the offer and nobody took it. I made the offer. Maybe in life that's the only thing that anybody can really do. To make the offer. To put yourself out there and hope to get a response. To hope that people will accept the offer and be grateful. Its almost like a slap in the face for the other people to turn down the offer. Well screw them. I put myself out there and that was the only thing that I could do-

Just an example of some of activities that I have taken part in away from work
- Running and organising buses from Cork to events across the country. This to attend music events that were taking place in Limerick, Dublin and further afield. At times it was due to the band in question not playing Cork, and at others it was to help Cork bands play venues up the country. It allowed those going to relax on the way up and down. The need to take on the cost of accommodation or leaving early was not required. I took it on myself to organise the booking of the coach, the accumulation of names attending and the payment of the driver.
- Helping set up a poetry and writing college magazine in 2000. This was whilst I was attending The University of Glamorgan. It was a student project magazine that ran every year, mainly through those studying English. I was involved in its compilation, promotion and design. Unfortunately, as the workload of study increased in further years, I was unable to play much of part after that.
- Finishing as master junior champion with Kinsale Sea Angling Club on two occasions. Kinsale has always had a strong tradition in terms of fishing throughout the years. Visitors from all over the world have arrived in the town to fish in its waters due to its excellent reputation. I was a member of the club for around 6 years at both junior and senior level. It was always highly competitive, with many large weights being recorded.
- Winning a G.A.A British colleges championship in 2002. Whilst I was at Glamorgan, I also played for the University G.A.A team. It perhaps was not as well recognised as sports such as Rugby or Soccer but still managed to attract a large amount of players from Irish students and from elsewhere. We took part in the British Championships in Birmingham and succeeded in winning the shield tournament that year.
- Helping set up and run a drama course based in Cork. Through contact of a few associates of mine, I was responsible for organising the PanaDrama group. It allowed people that had never acted before to come along to train pieces and practice techniques. Along with this, it provided an opportunity to come to meet new people and have fun doing it. Scripts had been written for a play we were going to put on but due to financial reasons, it was unable to take place.

Sep 3, 2008
Last night, I hit up the Meet the Cast event at Joseph-Beth. (Were YOU there?) This cast is a fun bunch, let me tell you, and they had great stories to share. If you WERE'NT there, a pox upon you! But, ah, I am one nice chicken, and I will share some highlights.
On the Road
Elaine, Peter and Maureen all bring their dogs with them when they travel, which provides a source of comfort when continually going to new places. Europe is really dog-friendly, Elaine said, which meant she could bring Lola the Wonder Pooch everywhere, including rehearsals. Except Lola isn't too keen on when her mommy gets roughed up, so she would get too protective if Elaine was acting out a dying scene. "And, let's face it, I'm a lyric soprano," she said. "I either get married or I die."
Corey McKern said he enjoys traveling because he has always liked to stay in hotels. (Fresh linens everyday, um, yeah!!) He also likes catching up on reading. As does Tom, who said he also likes to explore antique stores when traveling. (Lorain Avenue Antiques District, dude.)
Starting Out
It's always interesting to hear how singers got involved in opera. Often, it surprises the singers themselves that they became opera singers. Jason "Farm Boy" Hardy went to business school to become a stockbroker. Gloria Parker almost went to law school, but singing wooed her to New York and before delving into opera, she sang on Broadway. Corey intended to pursue golfing, but, as he says, "I was such a good golfer, I became an opera singer."
One of the audience members asked the singers what they listen to on their stereos, which was perhaps one of the more enlightening questions of the evening. Shocker: Dean Williamson listens to country! (Opera News, are you reading this?!)
Corey digs alt-country. Carrie is into Christian contemporary rock. Tom likes The Beach Boys and the Stones. Elaine said she often listens to Spanish music because it reminds her of home, which is Miami. Gloria said she usually prefers quiet because she lives in NYC, so when she travels, it's a welcome respite!
Anyone who makes a living being on stage usually has an anecdote or two about on stage misshaps or follies. And this group was no different. Tom, a seasoned portrayer of Bartolo in both Figaro and Barber, explained how he was in a performance of The Barber of Seville, sitting in the barber's chair. While his character gets a shave, unfortunately the barber is a little too liberal with the shaving cream. It's covering his mouth and nose, and Tom couldn't breathe. The barber realized Tom was struggling and had to turn upstage to laugh, which was only contagious to Tom.
While it wasn't exactly a folly, Maureen McKay had a bizarre stage experience. At Wolf Trap Opera, she participated in an Improv Opera performance, at which the audience supplies the characters and setting. The outcome was: A brain surgeon meets Britney Spears in a forest. Guess who was Britney. Complete with head mic and "snake" draped across her shoulders. She did a "nasty dance" and sang "Ah! Je veux vivre" from Romeo et Juliet, all in the style of Britney. (Oh, please tell me this is on youtube!)

Clinton School alum Kim Caldwell works to train the next generation of female political leaders at Annie's List, an organization that recruits, trains, supports, and elects progressive women who are dedicated to advancing the self-determination, health, safety, and financial security of Texas women and their families.
As Program Director at Annie's List, Caldwell helps progressive women all along their leadership journey become stronger political candidates and elected leaders in Texas. She oversees the organization's workshops that help women learn the skills and access the resources they need to be successful in politics and government. In addition to leading workshops, Caldwell supports the committees of volunteer leaders around the state and heads the organization's internship program.
"I'm very proud of our internship program," Caldwell said. "We hire five interns every semester. These are fantastic young people, mostly women, who have a real impact on our capacity, and go on to do great things. It's a great privilege to be a part of their leadership journeys."
Caldwell's time at the Clinton School included three semesters as a graduate assistant in the Center on Community Philanthropy. Her Practicum team worked with Goodwill Industries of Arkansas to help ex-offenders achieve a positive reentry into their communities through training, education, and employment services. For her International Public Service Project, she traveled to South Africa to identify potential collaboration between West Coast Community Foundation and Community Development Foundation Western Cape.
Caldwell became involved with the No Kid Hungry campaign through her Capstone Project in Governor Mike Beebe's office. That experience turned into a full-time position with Share Our Strength, No Kid Hungry's parent organization, in Washington D.C., where she worked as a program manager for five years. She transitioned to Annie's List in March 2016.
She and her husband Justin Dove live with their two daughters, Allison and Edie Dove, in her hometown of Austin, Texas.
How did you decide to attend the Clinton School?
I was at a friend's New Year's Eve party in 2008. She and I were part of the Nonprofit Professionals Network together and we were thinking about grad school. We were in that same place – four years out of undergrad where you start to hit those same ceilings – and she mentioned the Clinton School. It stuck with me. I Googled it in January, read about it, and loved it.
What I had learned in my time since undergrad – having worked a campaign, worked briefly for a leadership organization, and for a management support organization – was that I learned so much more by working than I ever did in classrooms. And there were things that I learned in classrooms that never made sense until I needed them in the field.
When I read about the Clinton School, the projects the students were doing sounded like the projects I was doing in my current work. But instead of being the second chair consultant or the junior consultant, I was going to get to figure out how to lead. That's why I was so interested.
What were some of your standout experiences at the Clinton School?
I just want to say first and foremost, the members of my class at the Clinton School changed who I am as a person. There are so many who showed me what thinking and living differently looked like and taught me so much, taught me to talk less and listen more, and to see the world from a perspective that was global and empathetic. It got me out of the "I need to be right and succeed" approach, the perfectionist approach to the world that only serves you well for so long, into really, truly being open and different, being less afraid of failure and more interested in what can be created.
Not that the professors weren't amazing, but I think often your cohort really determines what is available to you, as far as challenging and interesting thinking, and getting beyond what's written on the page in your coursework. It's what makes each class unique. That's why I loved my class, even though we challenged each other and were hard on each other sometimes, ultimately, it is what made the difference in the program for me.
How did you become involved with the No Kid Hungry campaign?
When I came back from my IPSP, No Kid Hungry had just started with the Governor's office and they were looking for someone to do some work. They asked, "How do we collect information and look at it so that this partnership that's forming can make smart decisions about using resources, about investing resources?" It was great.
I got to sit in the capitol during a session, because I was technically working for the Governor's office. I got to present to the Governor, and I got to present to Share Our Strength, and I ended up speaking at a national hunger conference, and the panel that I sat on was moderated by the woman who would become my boss at Share Our Strength. They were funding the work in Arkansas that I was part of as the coalition was starting, and I was meeting all these people in Washington D.C.
I'd always wanted to spend some time in D.C. It happened to work out that after I graduated they were expanding their center for best practices and I was hired. It was really exciting. Even thought I was new, I was coming with a pretty deep understanding of all the federal nutrition programs and what these partnerships looked like on the ground. In my role with the center, I was able to continue working with the folks in Arkansas, and continue that work and help other groups complete assessments like what I did in Arkansas.
One of the very first things I did within this job was develop a resource to help others replicate my Capstone project. I think that's such an exciting example of this work that I did in grad school not just being a thought experiment. It was an approach to understanding the context of a state that we replicated in other states.
What were some other ways the Clinton School prepare you for this position?
My work really evolved in my time there. I became an expert in federal nutrition programs. I worked more with the federal government than I anticipated, working directly with the USDA. I would travel around the country to different state agencies and nonprofit partners and develop a protocol for community planning meetings that was promoted by USDA. I worked with different regional offices to go to these states to train these colleagues to lead these meetings with the protocol that I developed. That was very Clinton School-y. It was pulled almost directly from Christy's class, Peter Block's Community. For example, we provided a template invitation because one of the things I took from her class was how important the invitation is. People can't fully participate if they don't know what they're participating in.
A lot of the skills from the Clinton School – the design thinking, strategic analysis, all of that – was very present in the work that I did. I am a firm believer that the Clinton School made me better at what I do.
How did you transition to Annie's List?
When I finished undergrad in 2004, I did one state rep race. I wanted to work in politics; that's what I thought I was going to be. But it turned out that was not what I was going to be. I didn't want to do campaigns. It wasn't for me. You have to love it. And I liked it, but I didn't love it.
Annie's List had been at the table for that campaign I worked on in 2004; they had just started the year before. I knew what Annie's List was, and the candidate that I'd worked for had been an executive director here for a while. And then the current executive director was someone that I'd known from my time in Austin.
The position was training director and it really seemed to be a great combination of the things I'd become good at – building capacity within an organization, investing in individuals as leaders, and strengthening groups of volunteers. It was taking this interest and experience I had in politics and really having the right role within a more stable environment to get to have an impact on what we were doing.
I get to be involved in helping elect women, but through a role that fits with what I'm great at. This year my title changed to Program Director because I took on all of our volunteer leader work around the state. I was on the national board for the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network where we helped start new chapters. In fact, I helped start the Little Rock chapter, because I was on the board while I was at the Clinton School.
It's an exciting role, even if I don't know how long I can be in politics because it really takes a lot from you and out of you. But there is nothing I'd rather be doing right now than electing progressive women.
What are some of the programs you oversee at Annie's List?
I started "Preparing to Run" (name changing to Candidate 101) because I realized that we didn't engage women until it came time to show up for seven hours on a Saturday and learn how to run your campaign. We're really working on meeting women where they are. I spout a lot of research about women and running for office, but women win at the same rate as men. Women just run at a much lower rate. And there are higher expectations for women candidates.
What we know is that women take into account more external factors, which is why being asked is so important. The decision is made very much in the context of their lives, as opposed to very often when men run for office, it is this sort of individual, "I've always wanted to do this so I'm going to do it" decision process. This is about meeting women where they are and working toward representational democracy – leadership that truly reflects the community.
What has the interest level been like since last year's election?
In 2016, when we did have a woman at the top of the ticket for the first time, we trained 204 women. This year, we trained 776. Secretary Clinton spoke at one of our luncheons and Senator Kamala Harris spoke at another. We're in a different universe.
We just did a strategic plan to double the number of progressive women in the Texas House over the next seven years. We want to ride this wave. Right now, the idea of electing women is sticky. There's a space in people's brains for it and we want to stick Annie's List to it. They know if they want to run for office, Annie's List is the organization that will help them do it.
