For years, I belonged to a health club and never got near the exercise machines. I went straight to the pool and swam laps, as I'd been doing since I was a teenager. I didn't understand the machines. They looked boring to me. Then I took a class in creativity. "Each week do something you aren't good at," the teacher 40 . I had always chosen things I was reasonably good at. Was my own creative spirit still there?
The answer is "challenged". Does it make sense? Or is it naturally used?
Thanks for your help!
I mean whether "challenged" is correctly used in the blank _40__.
"Each week do something you're not good at", the teacher challenged.
Is that what you meant? I must admit my first instinct was that it wasn't very natural but actually, if the teacher was challenging you to try something you're not good at, then it's an acceptable choice.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – UC Santa Barbara shot just 38.5% from the field and trailed Cal Poly by five points at halftime of Saturday's renewal of the Blue-Green Rivalry and that was the good news.
The Gauchos (7-10 overall, 3-3 in the Big West) survived an 83-81 double overtime thriller over their Blue-Green Rival Cal Poly (7-9 overall, 3-3 in the Big West) despite losing sophomore Alan Williams, their leading scorer and rebounder, to a left leg injury with just over six minutes to play in the first half when he landed hard after committing a foul while contesting a Mustang shot.
"We're not sure how serious it is," said UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "He will have a scan just as soon as he can and then we'll know more."
While Williams' injury gave the Gauchos something to frown about early, the way the game finished gave them something to smile about.
Both teams struggled through an ugly first half with the Mustangs matching UCSB miss-for-miss, shooting just 29-percent, but the second half and the two overtimes were a different story.
Cal Poly freshman Reese Morgan scored nine of his career-high 26 points in the first half to help his team lead by as many as nine points. He finished with a career-high seven three-pointers and was a major reason that the Mustangs maintained their lead until a Sam Beeler lay-up, off of a perfect feed from T.J. Taylor, gave Santa Barbara 55-54 lead with 5:47 left in regulation.
Morgan answered Beeler's basket with one of his three-pointers to vault the Mustangs back into the lead, 57-55. UCSB's Taran Brown followed suit, drilling a long three-pointer from above the key to give his team a 58-57 edge. After a defensive stop, Brown hit Beeler for another running lay-up to push the Gauchos' lead to 60-57 with 4:36 to play.
Cal Poly, however, wasn't done. Joel Awich was fouled while driving to the basket and made both free throws, narrowing the gap to 60-59. UCSB then turned the ball over and Dylan Royer hit pay-dirt with a three-pointer from deep in the left corner, giving the Mustangs a 62-60 lead.
A pair of free throws by Nate Garth knotted the contest at 62 apiece with 2:52 left, but Chris O'Brien made 1-of-2 shots from the line with 1:48 to play, reclaiming the edge for the Mustangs. After Beeler made 1-of-2 free throws, Morgan made another three, giving Cal Poly a 66-63 advantage with just over a minute to play.
Then it was time for Brown, who had struggled with his three-point shot for much of the game, to hit his first of the game with 40 seconds to play, tying the score. The Mustangs' Jamal Johnson missed a shot with four seconds left and Garth rebounded as time ran out.
Brown started the first overtime by nailing his second three-pointer, giving the Gauchos a 69-66 lead. Cal Poly pulled to within 69-68 when Brian Bennett made a lay-up with 3:26 to play and then took a 71-69 lead on a Morgan jumper with 1:17 left in the first overtime. UCSB tied the score at 71-71 when freshman Mitch Brewe took a feed from Garth and scored on a lay-up with 11 seconds to play.
Both teams got a shot a game-winner in the final seconds of the first overtime, but neither scored.
The second overtime was a see-saw affair. The Mustangs assumed the lead at the outset as Bennett made a short jumper from the right side of the key. Garth made a pair of free throws to tie the score at 73-73 with 4:32 to play, but Chris Eversley answered back with two free throws for the Mustangs, giving them a 75-73 advantage with 3:42 remaining.
A Kyle Boswell jumper tied the score at 75-all with less than three and a half minutes left. Bennett was fouled shooting a short jumper and made two free throws with 2:56 remaining, giving the Mustangs a 77-75 lead.
On the next possession, Morgan fouled UCSB's Michael Bryson, and the Gaucho freshman calmly went to the free throw line and made a pair of free throws to knot the score at 77-77. Cal Poly re-claimed the lead, 79-77, at the 1:18 mark of the second overtime when Royer was fouled driving to the basket and made both free throws.
Just seconds later, with 1:06 to play in the game, Boswell made the first of his two huge plays for the Gauchos. He accepted a pass above the top of the key with just 1:10 to play, took a hard dribble and attempted a three-pointer. He was fouled on the shot by Awich and went to the line for three free throws. Boswell made all three charity shots, giving UCSB an 80-79 lead with 1:06 to play.
Cal Poly, however wasn't done. After a timeout, the Mustangs got the ball to Drake U'u who curled off a pick, beat a Gaucho defender and went in for a lay-up, giving the Mustangs an 81-80 lead.
After a Santa Barbara timeout, it was Boswell with more heroics as he took a pass from Garth, made a lay-up and was fouled. He made the free throw to give the Gauchos an 83-81 lead with just seconds to play. A final jumper by Eversley fell short and the game was over.
"This game was decided on the backs of Kyle (Boswell), Nate (Garth), Taran (Brown) and a bunch of kids," Williams said. "I thought the job that Mike (Bryson), Mitch (Brewe) and Sam (Beeler) did was phenomenal. Defensively, those guys really had to step up. Mike (Bryson) taking on Eversley and holding him to 4-for-17 was huge. He grew-up today and that was a big reason why we won."
Bryson finished with 10 points, five rebounds, three blocked shots and three steals. Boswell tied his career-high with 23 points. After struggling for much of the game, Brown had 15 points, seven rebound and two blocked shots. Brewe had a career-high 10 points, three rebounds and two assists. Beeler had five points, six rebounds and two blocked shots. Garth had eight assists and just two turnovers while T.J. Taylor had five assists.
While Eversley struggled with his shooting for the Mustangs, he had a double-double with 16 points and 15 boards.
The Gauchos have won two straight games for just the second time this season. They will host Cal State Northridge on Thursday, Jan. 24 in a 7:00 p.m. game. Their Saturday Jan. 26 game against Hawai'i has been moved from 7:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. to accommodate Fox Sports Prime Ticket, which will televise the contest.

The TSA's Infamous 'Behavior Detection' In Action: Mandatory 'Chats' About Every Detail Of Your Trip
from the worst-chatbot-ever deptThe TSA's "behavior detection" program continues to roll out, unimpeded by accusations of racial profiling or the fact that 725,000 travelers have been questioned without turning up a single terrorist. This extra step in the ongoing, ever-expanding War at Home on Terror is bringing the fun of living in a dictatorship to the unsuspecting citizens of a federal republic.
Traveling into or out of the country used to be the one of the few situations in which American citizens could expect extra questions to be thrown their way. Apparently, we're now defending internal borders to prevent terrorists from crossing state lines unimpeded. In addition to long-running security theatrics already in place at our nations' airports, TSA agents are now throwing a barrage of instrusive questions at flyers as they travel from state to state.
Here's the first of two stories featuring the kinder, gentler, more intrusive TSA and its "behavior detection" system in action.
Over at the ACLU's Blog of Rights, Devon Chaffee writes of her most recent experience passing through airport security in Burlington, Vermont:Maybe the TSA agent was just being friendly? The writer's husband suggested as much. Despite the fact that the word "friendly" has rarely, if ever, been used in the same sentence as "TSA agent," there's always the small possibility that it's just some welcome humanity showing through the officious facade.
The agent then turned to me with grin that was a bit perky for even my taste given the early hour. "So where are you folks off to?" he energetically inquired.
I like to think that I'm a friendly person, so I answered him, expecting a brief innocuous exchange about the Washington DC heat and the scourge of Capitol Hill gridlock. Instead, the agent responded to my answer with a barrage of questions about where in Vermont we had stayed, how long we had traveled, and why we had traveled there. I could feel a suspicious expression involuntarily creep across my face. The New Englander inside me was screaming "you don't know this person from a hole in the wall and you certainly don't want to divulge to him the details of your family vacation!" And yet it seemed that the more discomfort I expressed, the more persistent the agent's questioning became, following us down the line, grilling me unrelentingly about our vacation plans and baggage status.
Here's the problem, though. It's nearly impossible for the average human being to chat normally with someone who has the power to indefinitely detain or otherwise screw up their travel plans for any number of nebulous "violations." There's no such thing as an innocuous or friendly question when it comes to an agency with a reputation for acting irresponsibly, vindictively and ignorantly, depending on the situation. No one is ever going to feel comfortable just handing out additional personal information, no matter how anecdotal, to someone who can use any misstep as an excuse to search, detain or otherwise inconvenience anyone and everyone.
Here's another mandatory chat session, one which goes off the rails much more quickly:
Steve Gunn, a former Muskegon Chronicle staff writer who now works for the Education Action Group, writes in the pages of his old paper:Notice how quickly asserting your rights gets you branded as a troublemaker by those "protecting" the airport. The intrusive questioning is the TSA's "behavior detection" at work. So far, it seems to be best at detecting racists within the TSA's ranks and maintaining an overly-close relationship with other law enforcement agencies.
At that point she asked me what my business would be in Grand Rapids.
"I'm headed home," I replied.
Then she wanted to know where home was. That's when the mental alarms went off and I realized I was being interrogated by Big Brother in drag. I asked her why the federal government needed to know where I was going and what I would be doing. She explained that the questions were part of a new security "pilot program."
I then told her I am an American citizen, traveling within my own country, and I wasn't breaking any laws. That's all the federal government needed to know, and I wasn't going to share any more. Not because I had anything to hide. It was because we live in a free country where innocent people are supposedly protected from unwarranted government intrusion and harassment.
At that point the agent yelled out, "We have another refusal." One of my bags was seized and I was momentarily detained and given a hand-swab, which I believe was to test for residue from bomb-making materials.
I passed the bomb test and was told I could move on, but I hung around a moment and told everyone within listening range what I thought about this terrifying experience.
This interrogation of citizens who have never crossed a border isn't necessarily a new thing, but in the past it was definitely an exception rather than the rule. Crossing national borders would usually result in some form of questioning beyond "Are you an American citizen?" Outside of our airports, the Department of Homeland Security is partnering with the Border Patrol to set up checkpoints with the intent of stopping and searching vehicles traveling internal highways 40-50 miles from any border crossing. This falls within the "Constitution Free Zone" where the courts have permitted these "administrative" checkpoints to operate, but solely for the purpose of protecting the nation's borders. They are not to be used for other law enforcement purposes, like conducting general drug searches.
As can be expected, the checkpoints have become "general purpose." Suspicionless searches are now the norm, with many drivers being routed to the "secondary" for additional questioning. None of this is necessary, useful or even particularly legal, but they continue to operate simply because US citizens are generally cooperative, even when their rights are being violated. If you don't cooperate with your own violation, as in the case with Gunn above, and the video below, the ones doing the violating (under the auspices of "security") treat the assertive citizen like he's being unreasonable and possibly a threat.
While the US is far from an actual police state, the encroachment on our rights shows no sign of abating. The TSA defends its severely flawed "behavior detection" system as being a crucial and useful part of law enforcement as a whole. Defenders of DHS checkpoints are quick to cite criminal actions by non-citizens and the general hazy threat of "terrorism" in support of their activities. No one really expects anyone in power to say "Wait, this is going too far," and start rolling back authority and legislation. But someone in power should really start questioning why it became acceptable in this country, a nation built on individual freedom, to interrogate citizens simply because they're traveling from one internal destination to another by vehicle.

text: I'm completly agree with Rui. The fact is that today, after several months, we have a phone that is not (yet) fully working. As my experience i tried all the distributions and the better one (in my very personal opinion) is the SHR that (unfortunately) doesn't include a phone calls manager, an sms manager (a decent one), a profile configurator (ring tone, and other stuffs) and a lot of other things..they are following the right way, but they need time and in the meanwhile our phones are fully of dust!! There is the necessity to focus our effort in the development of a distribution that could be usable (i.e. android) in order to have (finally) a fully working daily phone!! This is the priority. I don't have expercience with low level programming, but i know java as well and if i could i'd like to help to achieve this goal as soon as possible. Giorgio ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rui Castro" To: "List for Openmoko community discussion" Subject: [Android] Converting a brick into a phone Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:58:43 +0000 Hi, Like many people in this community I have my Neo resting comfortably in my desk because there isn't a stable OS with the basic phone funcionalities available at the moment (I already tried all the distributions available). Some distributions provide some of the basic stuff, but they're not reliable in many ways. Today I read a message from Wolfgang Spraul in the thread about the end of the Optimization Team that got me worried "The way things are going right now, we will probably have this release mid-next year.". Well, I think this is very bad. Electronic equipment, like phones/computers, become outdated in a very short period of time (GTA03 is already being created). By the mid-next year Neo will be pretty much an old phone and nobody really used it, yet. I think Android is the best candidate to turn the Neo into a daily usable phone right away. It has all the basic (and not so basic) applications, it has a good usability, good looks and the number of users/applications will grow very rapidly in the next months, I think. The current state of the Android port for Neo is already very encoraging and with a little effort from the community (and Openmoko people) Android could be fully functional in the Freerunner in a couple of weeks. Sean McNeil has been doing a great work, but as I see it, he is basically the only one working on the low level problems. My personal experience is more at the application level (Java), but with a little guidance I'm willing to help in any way. What I would like to see is some sort of list of things to do and how could the people from the community help doing them. I don't have much experience with open-souce projects, maybe I'm the only one that doesn't know how to help. If this is the case, please forgive this message :) Best regards, Rui _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community at lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!

Immunizing Your Dog with the Right Vaccinations
Vaccinations are a routine part of veterinary visits. These immunizations prevent health problems that can cause illness, deformity, and even death for many dogs.
Puppies should get their first set of vaccinations at 6 to 8 weeks of age, before they go to their new homes. They also need two more sets of vaccinations spaced three to four weeks apart before they are fully immunized.
Set up a vaccination schedule for your puppy and adult dog with your veterinarian. The vaccinations you select for your dog will depend on his age, where you live, and the chances of your dog being exposed to infected dogs or wildlife.
The table lists diseases you can vaccinate against, along with the symptoms they result in when a dog has the disease.
|Salivation, aggression, paralysis
|Diarrhea, pneumonia, tremors
|Bloody diarrhea, dehydration
|Infectious Canine Hepatitis
|Diarrhea, pneumonia
|Kennel cough
|Cough, pneumonia
|Lyme disease
|Lameness, arthritis
|Bloody urine, diarrhea, vomiting

A Thread for Weaving Joy
"A Thread for Weaving Joy" is the title of a talk given earlier this week by Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput O.F.M. Cap. to some participants in the March for Life pro-life rally.
Imagine a bishop standing up and expounding Catholic teaching. Imagine a bishop talking about what is required to be a Catholic. The cheek of it!
Catholic public officials who take God seriously cannot support laws that attack human dignity without lying to themselves, misleading others and abusing the faith of their fellow Catholics. God will demand an accounting. Catholic doctors who take God seriously cannot do procedures, prescribe drugs or support health policies that attack the sanctity of unborn children or the elderly; or that undermine the dignity of human sexuality and the family. God will demand an accounting. And Catholic citizens who take God seriously cannot claim to love their Church, and then ignore her counsel on vital public issues that shape our nation's life. God will demand an accounting.and then there is this:
Evil talks about tolerance only when it's weak. When it gains the upper hand, its vanity always requires the destruction of the good and the innocent, because the example of good and innocent lives is an ongoing witness against it. So it always has been. So it always will be.While the speech is was delivered to an American audince, the points the Archbishop makes are equally valid on this side of the Atlantic.
Read the whole thing here.

Stonecrops can withstand neglect
Looking for a perennial you can buy, plant and virtually forget? It might be that one of the sedums is just what you are looking for. Sedum is the name for a large genus of plants many call "stonecrops." There are about 400 species to choose from. Some of the sedums like hot weather while some prefer cold. Some are yellowish in color while some are green or other colors. Some creep along the ground and quickly fill an area. What they have in common are the characteristic thick leaves of succulents. The leaves store water so you don't have to remember to water them very often at all. The flowers of the sedums usually have five petals.
Consider adding a sedum variety or two to your garden. They are hardy and add personality to your garden. Most all of the sedums or stonecrops have edible leaves. That being said, we probably would not prefer sedum leaves to common lettuce leaves as our dinner salad. Some of the leaves have an interesting bitter taste while others have a peppery flavor and might be fun to add in to a traditional lettuce salad.
According to Wikipedia, the ancient Grecians used sedums to treat epilepsy and skin disease. Interestingly, sedum are commonly used in making "green roofs." The Ford truck plant in Deerborn, Mich., has a living roof of sedum that covers 10.4 acres! The Rolls Royce Motor Car company in England has a 22,500 square foot roof complex covered in sedum.
So maybe you don't want to cover your roof with sedum. It is still a most perfect plant for somewhere remote in your yard where you can't water or don't remember to water. You can abuse sedum. This perennial can be so attractive. Imagine a creeping sedum making its way between and around a rocky area in your yard. This little soldier plant will make its way into cracks in a stonewall or along the sides of a walkway. You can create a border with sedum or tame them in a container. Give them a dry, sunny spot and just enjoy them growing even in the worst of soils.

Our team of attorneys based in Berlin and London are well versed in the intricacies of the European public procurement regime (both utilities and public sector), including UK and German specific regulations.
In Berlin, we advise public entities as well as service providers and product suppliers on the legal and business issues involved in the submission and collection of bid documents related to invitations to tender. We also assist clients with litigation arising out of questionable tendering procedures and with complaints to the European Commission.
In the UK, we advise public entities as well as service providers and product suppliers on the legal and business issues involved throughout the entire contracting cycle, including proposal preparation, negotiations, and compliance. We also assist clients with bid protests, procurement litigation, and contract disputes (including litigation and arbitration). Where contracts involve proprietary research or technology transfer, our attorneys also provide counsel on intellectual property protection.
Representative Matters
HM Revenue and Customs: We have worked extensively with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for over a decade on its major projects. Our work covers regulatory and statutory compliance, procurement law, commercial agreements, and litigation/disputes. HMRC runs the second largest IT estate in the UK. Our team has advised HMRC for many years on commercial and procurement issues related to its technology estate and large technology projects.
Currently, we are advising HMRC on the commercial and legal implications of its project to change the way in which payroll tax submissions are made by switching to a "real time information" basis and aligning employer's tax submission data to be made over the BACS payroll payment system.
National Policing Improvement Agency: We have advised the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) for many years on some of its most complex and high-profile IT and telecommunications projects, including on its contract with Airwave Services Limited relating to the provision of the digital encrypted "Airwave" national radio communications service for all police forces in England, Scotland, and Wales. Our team advised on the original procurement, contract award, and roll-out of this service via a pathfinder PFI/PPP project. Our role covered all contract drafting and advisory work, as well as dealing with issues arising from possible bidder procurement challenges.
We also advised NPIA on a £122 million re-tender project ("IDENT1") of advanced biometric identification and fingerprint technology for the police forces of England, Scotland, and Wales and other criminal justice organisations in the UK. We assisted NPIA to create a long-term contract that was sufficiently flexible to facilitate the rapid, ongoing developments in biometric services, mobile fingerprint checking, facial imaging, and video identification.
UK Border Agency: We have advised the UK Border Agency (UKBA) on its £297 million business process outsourcing contracts relating to the operation of the UK's visa application process. We helped UKBA to deliver this hugely challenging project on budget and within agreed timescales. This project won the award for "e-Government Excellence: Innovation in Strategy" at the e-Government National Awards.

NAGANO Ramp Sink Mold provides a subtle, ramp shape to your integral concrete sink project featuring an eased edge. Ideal for a concrete bath vanity project—sophisticated styling has never been so easy to create.
Durable fiberglass construction allows reusing the mold time and time again—unlimited with proper care. This fiberglass mold is internally reinforced to avoid any flex from the weight of concrete and will not bend therefore no internal reinforcement is needed.
There is an internal reinforcing rim to prevent edges from chipping and allows the sink mold to be tightly secured (screwed from the underside) for vibration of the concrete and allows for a clamp to apply pressure while optionally injecting air to pop out the mold.
To form as a drop in, form your rails (side forms) approximately 1-1/2" from the perimeter of the mold. You may want to consider forming tighter to the mold on the back side of the sink mold to accommodate the faucet. This will also give you a place to pour extra concrete. Add a moisture-resistant moulding or use a profile wheel for edge detail. Check with your concrete countertop mix designer to verify minimum wall thickness. Release agents are required for all fiberglass sink molds. Apply the release on the entire mold including the Rimlock. CHENG Concrete and Crete Molds LLC assumes no liabilty for the mix designs used with these sink molds. These concrete countertop sink molds are intended to be used by professionally trained concrete countertop fabricators.
Item will ship 3-5 days after reciept of order.
This Product adheres to the Manufacturer's Return Policy as follows:
Original sales receipt must accompany returns. Returns for exchange or credit are accepted within 7 calendar days after delivery of the sink mold product. Items must be in "new, unaltered and unused condition." Definition of new, unaltered and unused condition is such that the product does not show signs of wear, use or damage and is determed at the discretion of the manufacturer. The free reusable drain plug must accompany the mold (if not a lot drain mold). Returns are contingent upon inspection of item(s) once received, if within 7 calendar days of the delivery date (after 7 days no returns are allowed), and must not be a special order or a custom order. A 20% restocking fee is assessed for returned items that are not being exchanged and are not damaged. Customer is responsible for all return or exchange shipping costs.
Contact Manufacturer directly for further return details at (262) 527-7386.

I was out yesterday, like many, many others, enjoying the first beautiful weekend of spring in the mid-Atlantic region. Bikes and cars were out all over the place. My gas warning light came on and I decided I'd better get some gas.
So, I pulled into a busy gas station (they were all busy!!) and pull up to an empty pump. I proceed to dismount, put down the sidestand (just in case) and then set it up on the center stand. Then I pulled off my helmet (glasses, too), gloves, jacket and dug into my pocket for the credit card.
Just as soon as I had stepped off my bike, a car had pulls up behind me (all the pumps had at least 1 car waiting). "D*%n", I thought. Being a gentlemanly type (otherwise I'd have bought a HD ), I didn't want to make this guy wait unnecessarily..... but here I was....both hands busy trying to fill up the tank w/o running gas over; helmet, jacket and gloves just barely balanced on the seat, and my eyeglasses dangling from my teeth! The young guy in the car behind me is giving me the look and revving his engine, with his sonic- boom-stereo going full bore.
While I wanted to throw a concussion grenade in his open window, I quickly filled up the tank, threw on what I could as quickly as possible and pulled out of the lane and over to the side of the lot, where I put on my glasses, zipped up the jacket, put on the gloves and buckled the helmet.
This got me to thinking.....what's the proper protocol for a biker at a gas station? I suppose I should have kept on all my gear while filling up, so I could pull away from the pump as quickly as possible.
What do you do when you're at a busy gas station?

Sometimes, a sexy text message will not do. Sometimes, you must set pen to paper to confess your love in passionate prose — because, really, people don't do that enough anymore, and sometimes we need to hear it.
Yes, it takes effort. That's the point. Now seriously: Put down the greeting card. Don't you dare post your ode on a Facebook wall. Return to the romance of yesteryear, and craft a thoughtful love letter.
There are no strict rules to love-letter writing, no proof that "there is more sentiment to be harnessed focusing on the eyes instead of the thighs," said Brett Fletcher Lauer, co-editor of the anthology "Isn't it Romantic: 100 Love Poems by Younger American Poets" (Wave Books). But some strategies might help. Some guidance:
Degree of difficulty: A heartfelt task requires a certain amount of effort.
Materials needed: Nice stationery and a good pen.
Think about it. Take notes about what you want to say to your beloved. "A love letter, to me, is about distance and time," Lauer said, not something you fire off after contemplating it for 10 minutes.
Don't be intimidated. Unlike a poem, which is a work of art to be admired, a love letter is a personal communication between you and your beloved, "like leaving a voice mail," said Todd Boss, a poet who writes love poems on commission ($500 to $1,000, at toddbosspoet.com). "Don't worry so much about saying the right thing, just say the true thing."
Get personal. Ask yourself some questions to tease out what you want to say, Boss said. What do you value most about your relationship? What are you most glad for? What do you most hope for your relationship? If the person were gone from your life, what would you miss the most? If someone didn't know your beloved, how would you describe what is special about him or her?
Be specific. Focus on something small — a detail, a moment, a particular day — that represents how you feel about the person, Lauer said. Make a list of memories; you could borrow the idea of artist and writer Joe Brainard, whose book "I Remember" starts each sentence with "I remember ... "
Be authentic. Don't feel pressured to write with flowery, pastoral motifs or classic love language, Lauer said. No need to begin with "My dearest" or "My sweetest" or end with "Your affectionate," though that could be awesome. Love letters can reflect the contemporary world we live in.
Bare your soul. Be vulnerable, take risks, say things you've never said before, let it all hang out. Witness John Keats, in a letter to Fanny Brawne: "I cannot exist without you; I am forgetful of everything but seeing you again; my life seems to stop there — I see no further. You have absorbed me; I have a sensation at the present moment as though I was dissolving. I should be exquisitely miserable without the hope of soon seeing you; I should be afraid to separate myself far from you."
Handwrite it. There are many beautiful stationery stores, so use them. Type a draft first, though, to avoid mistakes. Spray of perfume optional. If you have time, mail it.
Be creative. If you are having trouble writing your feelings, Lauer suggests making a collage of your notes or text messages to one another, or song lyrics or movie quotes that mean something to you. The point is that you put in the effort. "In the end, you know best," Lauer says, "and maybe your Google search for a heart-shaped pizza is your 21st century way of writing a love letter, but if you can make that heart-shaped pizza yourself, I would say you should at least try."

The Xtra Factor
THE Jaguar XF was a great car when it was first launched in 2008 and the addition of a 2.2-litre diesel, improved refinement across the board, some sympathetic styling revisions and a boost in interior quality have only underscored that message. Flies the flag and does so unapologetically.
Even when bankrolled by the financial might of Ford, it took Jaguar a few bites at the cherry before it hit on the XF. There was the original, rather disappointing S-TYPE, which then developed into an excellent car; a fact that was missed on many potential buyers who instead ignored it in favour of the usual BMW, Audi and Mercedes models. The XF was Ford's dollars finally come good, a car that, when launched in 2008, stuck it firmly to the opposition.
Perhaps the XF was a step too far for its market though. As talented as it was, it didn't look like a Jaguar and this fact alienated as many traditional buyers as it attracted newer buyers. It was a pill Jaguar needed to take if it was to move with the times though. The subsequent XJ reinforced 'new Jaguar' look and feel and the XF no longer seems quite such a singularity in the range. It's now been revised and this, as much as anything, is a key test of the stewardship of company owners Tata Motors. Hit, miss or maybe?
When it was launched, the Jaguar XF set new class standards in ride and handling. Since then, its rivals have closed the gap slightly but the tactility of the Jaguar still has the capacity to surprise and delight. What was lacking was a tempting selection of diesel engines, and since its introduction we've seen a cleaner 3.0-litre diesel in 238 and 272bhp flavours and now there's a four-cylinder 2.2-litre, good for 188bhp. The focus is strongly on diesel power, with the 385bhp 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine continuing on the halo models, and the 510bhp supercharged version of this powerplant fitted to the fiery XFR sports saloon. This thumps its way to 60mph in 4.7s and hits an electronically limited 155mph maximum.
For most, however, there's more relevance in the performance of that 2.2-litre diesel. Hardly a sluggard, the entry-level XF will stop the watch at 8.2 seconds en route to 60mph and hit 142mph. With 450Nm of torque available from only 2,000rpm, there's no shortage of muscle, and the XF eight-speed auto transmission means you're always plugged into the meat of it. Across the new XF range advances have been made in refinement with active engine mounts (diesels) and new sound deadening material featuring on the car as well as redesigned wing mirrors to reduce wind noise.
The most obvious change to the XF is the adoption of a sleeker front end, drawing on the look of the XJ with slim headlight units with LED running lighting strips sitting either side of a larger, more upright grille. The bonnet line is now lower with a heftier bulge in the middle. The lower bumper section gets a trio of air dams, the outside pair of which are now intersected by twisted chrome fins. LED rear lights and some revised chrome finishes complete the look.
The interior of the XF was always one of its strong points and with not a lot being wrong, there isn't a great deal to fix. You'll find a restyled steering wheel, a new infotainment system, better quality air vents and uprated seats. Jaguar hasn't been able to do anything about the XF's slightly compromised rear headroom, although legroom remains better than you'd expect. The boot measures 500 litres which is less than the class standard albeit not by too much. Cabin quality is extremely good with a feel that's modern British in all the best ways without lapsing into cheesiness or caricature.
Before we measure the XF against its key rivals, consider this. The entry level XF is now £5,000 less expensive than in 2008, is just as quick and is significantly cheaper to run. Think of it as Jaguar spreading the good news. Of the Jaguar's rivals, the latest Audi A6 offers probably the most aggressive value proposition and when the entry-level diesel are compared, it's the Audi that's packing a smaller, less powerful engine and charging you a couple of thousand pounds more for the privilege. Small wonder that Jaguar seems so confident about this car's chances.
The XF offers five trim levels: SE, Luxury, Premium Luxury and Portfolio and range-topping R derivative. The mid-level Premium Luxury version has proven popular and is fitted as standard with soft grain leather seats, a 600w stereo, Bluetooth, cruise control with speed limiter, hard disk satellite navigation, a heated front window, heated, electrically adjustable front seats and 18-inch alloy wheels for the diesel cars and 20-inch rims for the 5.0-litre V8. Go for the entry-level SE version and you'll still find a 400W stereo, leather and Suedecloth seats, keyless entry and the excellent ride comfort afforded by 17-inch wheels.
No apologies here for concentrating on that 2.2-litre diesel engine again because it's set to grab the lion's share of XF sales. It's a modified Ford unit, mounted longitudinally and featuring a host of new parts, including a water-cooled turbocharger and low-friction pistons. Crucially, it also drives emissions down to just under 150g/km which nevertheless remains a little way off the figures of the best Germans. Fuel economy is respectable, with a 52.3mpg average, which needs to be set against the 44.8mpg of the 3.0-litre diesel XF models. The 5.0-litre V8 manages 25.4mpg.
Residual figures have stood up well due to a strong reliability record and Jaguar's sensible decisions concerning supply and discounting. Insurance isn't cheap, though, with a 3.0 D Luxury being rated at Group 43.
The Jaguar XF was a revelation in 2008 but in the intervening years, its rivals have come back with ever stronger offerings. In certain respects, the Jaguar still feels like the top pick in its class. Its ride and handling are brilliant, its steering superb, and its sense of occasion is second to none. Other rivals offer more space and, if reducing carbon dioxide emissions is an overwhelming priority, the XF still comes up a little short.
Otherwise it remains a formidable contender. Mid-life facelifts can be tricky things to pull off, but this time round the XF looks sharper and more modern yet won't punch big holes in the residual values of the outgoing model. The 2.2-litre diesel is a smart and pragmatic move too. Tata Motors are clearly guiding Jaguar in a sympathetic and sensitive manner yet which isn't shying away from the bigger challenges. That can only be good news.

UrbanCode Release
UrbanCode Release provides
- Collaborative, web based release day planning and execution
- Insight into which projects in a release are on time
- Clear visibility into which versions of each app are in each environment
- Enforced quality gates governing advancement into environments
Typical Uses
- Identify Release Dependencies: From initial planning through discovery in testing, easily identify and track release dependencies across applications and infrastructure.
- Release Planning and Tracking: Map applications, changes, and initiatives to releases, and track the completion of Application changes and attainment of quality certifications for applications in a release.
- Easier Release Days: Build an executable deployment plan that seamlessly notifies team members of work to do, and triggers automated tasks while providing up-to-date status that everyone can see.
- Handle More Releases: Accommodate a growing number of release using more templates, automatic rules, and visibility that mitigates risk.
- Multi-Application Continuous Delivery: Rules for automatic promotion across groups of applications enables applications to take advantage of continuous delivery techniques.
Key Features
Business changes often span multiple Applications that need to be released together. Sometimes the relationship between Applications is limited to a single release. Other times a suite of related Applications are often released together. UrbanCode Release allows you to easy capture these relationships and plan releases spanning multiple applications and setup automatic promotion rules to speed changes through the pipeline. Learn more.
Easily view the relationships between applications, changes and initiatives related to a release. See which other applications may be impacted by an application that has fallen behind with incomplete features, or troubled test results. Learn more.
UrbanCode Release's pipeline visualization capabilities make it easy to see which versions of each application are in each environment. Heat-map color coding makes it easy to see how closely the versions in one environment correspond to another or the latest and whether the versions that are supposed to be in an environment are still there. From the Pipeline, you can also schedule deployments and see when the next deployment to each environment is planned. It is also clear when the previous deployment occurred. Learn more.
UrbanCode Release has Statuses which serve to identify quality certifications achieved by deployable versions. Each Release uses a Lifecycle that defines these statuses as well as which statuses are required for a version to enter a Phase. Deployments of Applications which do not meet the criteria are rejected unless a release manager notes an Exception. Learn more.
Planning the release day can be a great deal of work. Release Managers need to bring together expertise from multiple application teams, testers and operations. Worse, it is easy lose track of lessons learned in previous releases and deployments to lower environments. UrbanCode Release is designed to make the creation of a deployment plans an easier, collaborative experience. Simple plans used in lower environments can be easily annotated to capture lessons learned which are automatically suggested for incorporation in the production plan. Learn more.

I'm running into a universal problem with Wii games on Dolphin where I can barely get the IR recognition to work properly. I bought a wireless IR sensor bar, but my current Wiimote (and the previous third-party one I owned) has serious trouble detecting it. The result is that the cursor rarely shows up on screen, and when it does it jumps all over the place even if my Wiimote is still.
Skyward Sword is practically unplayable. After calibrating the Wiimote upon loading the game, it works fine for about five minutes, then Link doesn't hold his sword in the proper direction any more. I can be pointing straight at the screen and he's holding his sword up, or I make a horizontal slash and he does a vertical one. Sometimes the controls deteriorate to the point where everything is backwards, i.e swinging left-to-right is right-to-left. I tried swapping out the sensor bar with a pair of candles like some users said, but the same problem occurs. What can I do to fix this?

...Though I hope the fashions will have changed by then, as these current examples look like plastic chainmail. Some designers are already using 3D printers to create textiles apparently, with the possibility of creating tailor-made figure-hugging being an attractive reason.
Fashion site Ecouterre has an article on the 3D printed clothes phenomenon, and the museum of Modern Art is exhibiting the Dutch designer Freedom of Creation's works already. It's not just the lure of having clothes that fit properly that's appealing for designers - 3D printing also helps cut down on labour costs and could be seen as reducing waste.

From what I can tell being a thug just isn't what it used to be. It seems that its harder on a thug more than any other time in history.
I mean, what if your life consisted of nothing but shootouts and fights on a daily basis? For most people having to deal with an overbearing boss is enough to make you wanna figure-four leg-lock someone. Imagine the kinda mental stress you must go through everyday if you wake up like, "well this could be my last day here on earth, but fuck it let it do what it do." I dunno if that's a lifestyle I'm equipped to deal with. Imagine being in and outta jail sometimes for days, other times months, or even years. But, this is your whole lifestyle we're talking about, not just a one time thing when you were 20 years old.
One thing I don't think most people realize about most thugs is that they're mostly broke. Now, you may be saying to yourself "I thought they sold drugs?" That's a common misconception about thugs. Most drug dealers are not thugs, and most thugs are not drug dealers. There's a difference. This is why they're always trying to rob people–because they're broke. Most thugs go to jail for assault and robbery. Continue Reading →

I virtually cried when I found the fabulous new 'Candy Rose', pastel, floral range from Dunelm mill! The entire range isn't obtainable at the moment but I can't wait till it is. I believe it may be a good thing that I can't purchase every thing in the image above or I would be broke. I consider the post box will be my 1st investment.
I adore this retro sofa! The coloured glassware is a excellent new look for spring and summer. Can anyone tell me what those flowers are?
I adore how colourful these chairs are, specially against the white wooden floor. I also plan on purchasing these 3 frames you can see on the wall and those fairly ceramic vases on the sideboard. I will also be purchasing all of the floral glassware and dinnerware!
I would love to know when the complete variety is going to be accessible on the Dunelm Mill internet site. I will most certainly be getting the water bottles. I may acquire numerous simply because I'm rather clumsy and have gone via very a couple of of the common ikea bottles that I store water in. The patterns look fabulous against the white of the milk. A white ceramic bottle would look beautiful also.
This little blue button 'trough' style ceramic tub is advertised as a 'trinket tray' but I think it would make a marvellous planter. If you do purchase it as a planter don't neglect to make sure that your plants don't need lots of drainage. Alternatively you can locate a tutorial on pinterest on how to drill ceramics it's certainly attainable. I know that wall art is already offered on the site and part of the Rose and Ellis collection as well.
This colourful range of laundry and cleaning supplies are absolutely marvellous and best for bringing a little colour into your everyday routines! I would love to own the pink drying rack. I may well have to invest in one of these ^_^
View the existing range more than at Dunelm Mill now.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison has been fined more than $100,000 during his career for hits the NFL deemed to be outside the rules.
Those fines -- along with his much-publicized suspension for a hit that concussed Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy last season -- has led Harrison to change the way he plays the game.
"I've really lowered my target area to where it's down around the knees," Harrison said Friday on ESPN Radio. "Situations come along where you could tackle the guy high. I don't do that anymore. I tackle the guy low."
Harrison points out that hitting low doesn't necessarily make the game any safer. In some ways, Harrison believes this approach is equally dangerous. The four-time Pro Bowl selection recalled his hit that injured Denver Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker in a playoff game last January.
"I could have tackled him high, but if I had hit him high, I probably would have gotten a helmet-to-helmet or something and gotten fined," Harrison said. "So I hit him low and (he) strained his MCL.
"They're saying it's a life-threatening injury to hit a guy in the head and he gets a concussion and so on and so forth, but I think a life-threatening injury is to go low on a guy and blow out his ACL or whatever, and he's not able to come back the way he was before. Now he can't make a living, he can't feed his family, he can't do what he does. That's life-threatening to me."

- Tom proposes that we reimburse Mitch up to $1000 to replenish our t-shirt supply.
We are currently out, except for a handful of women's sizes. It would be great to have a bunch before the fund-raiser party on the 30th. I (Mitch) am happy to front the money if there are no objections -- to be paid back to me upon consensus (to ensure that we can have the T-shirts before the fund-raiser). All of our T-shirts have previously been printed locally at East Bay Screenprint. The last time we got T-shirts, we got 200 of them at $7.41 each (including shipping) -- total = $1,481.63. If we buy 50 T-shirts, the cost is $8.74 each (indluding shipping) -- total = $437.00. (I've never bought 100 before, but the price will be somewhere in between.) -- Mitch.

The starting point of the chapter Moving Away is Marcel Breuer's collage ein bauhaus-film. fünf jahre lang (a bauhaus film: five years long), published in the first issue of the magazine bauhaus in 1926. Breuer's "filmstrip" presents the development of his chair design from handcrafted object, to industrial prototype, towards a future in which the designed object becomes obsolete. The growing influence of the National Socialist Party in Germany in the 1930s led to numerous Bauhaus teachers and students emigrating. Moving Away examines how Bauhaus debates on design evolved during the first half of the twentieth century through this diaspora, and subsequently how they changed in relation to different societal conditions and geographies.
Dismissed from his post in 1930 by right-wing political forces in Dessau due to his solidarity with the communist student union, the second Bauhaus director Hannes Meyer applied to the Soviet embassy for a transfer to Moscow; in 1931 seven of his former students followed him, many of whom would fall victim to Stalin's "War Communism." The opportunity to realize avant-garde cities on a previously unimagined scale in this newly industrializing state soon came into conflict with the official doctrine of socialist realism. Geopolitical storms, generated by Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini's seizure of power, also became evident at the fourth meeting of the Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM) in 1933, where Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, and others led discussions on international urbanism.
In the United States, where Gropius immigrated in 1937, the Bauhaus would stand for freedom and democracy. Gropius taught international students at Harvard, including the Chinese architects Henry Huang and Ieoh Ming Pei, and through these contacts, began to question modernism's universal principles. Confronted through a collaboration with I. M. Pei with ideas about Asian landscape architecture that he initially rejected, Gropius came to understand how Asian spatial concepts and vernacular traditions could greatly improve modernist architecture.
The end of European colonial rule, the Cold War and the emergence of newly independent states exerted an international influence on design policy including campus architecture. This is apparent in the university building in Ile-Ife, which the Israeli Bauhaus graduate and architect Arieh Sharon designed on behalf of Nigeria's first post-independence national government between the early 1960s and 1980s. Today, the Obafemi Awolowo University still functions in its original form as a learning environment.
Based on interactions with teachers from the Hochschule für Gestaltung (HfG, School of Design), Ulm, the ideas of the Bauhaus can be traced to the curriculum of India's National Institute of Design (NID), founded in 1961 as part of the Indian government's strategy to improve the nation's standard of living. At NID, the intention was for industrial design to act as a development tool and catalyst for economic growth to serve the needs of a non-affluent, mostly rural population, with designers also utilizing the technical knowledge accumulated by the subcontinent over millennia.
With case studies in the Soviet Union, India, China, Taiwan, North Korea, and Nigeria, through archival and film research and commissioned artworks, Moving Away explores how the Bauhaus evolved through entanglement with social, cultural, and political exigencies.
