|Signal description
|Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System (ACSES II)
|Advanced Pager Operating Code (APOC)
|Advanced Pager Operating Code. A new mode, developed by Philips Telecom and announced in 1993, that offers higher speed and some new features while retaining backwards compatibility with POCSAG. Supports bit rates between 1200 to 6400 or about 1200 to 3200 baudBaud (unit symbol Bd) is the unit for symbol rate or modulation rate in symbols per second. using 2-PAMPulse Amplitude Modulation/FMFrequency Modulation or 4-PAMPulse Amplitude Modulation/FMFrequency Modulation modulation. Extended addressing is supported, allowing support for more then 2 million pagers. As of mid-1996, Philips has dropped APOC and instead settled a cross-licensing deal with Motorola for access to FLEX.
|Advanced Paging Operations Code (APOC)
|The Advanced Paging Operations Code (APOC) is a proprietary pager protocol of Philips Paging. The format has been designed to allow POCSAG paging systems to gracefully introduce new paging features and capabilities in an existing paging network. These enhancements include extra channel capacity, extended battery economy and additional network features. It has been designed to coexist with standard POCSAG transmissions. Under the APOC enhancements, mixed data transmission speeds may operate on a single channel. Standard APOC operates as a 1200 bit per second transmission, but, data codewords may be sent at 2400, 3200, 4800 or 6400 bits per second. This is accomplished by sending specialized POCSAG synchronization codewords at the 1200 bit per second rate, which indicate that in the period of a standard 1200 bit per second POCSAG batch, data will be transmitted at a specific data rate.
|Advanced Railroad Electronics System (ARES)
|Advanced Speed Enforcement System (ASES)
|BART Advanced Automated Train Control (AATC)
|Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short-wavelength UHFUltra High Frequency (300-3000 MHz) radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHzGigaHertz (GHz) 10^9 Hz) from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks (PANs). Invented by telecom vendor Ericsson in 1994, it was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. It can connect several devices, overcoming problems of synchronization.
|The Radio Telephone Network C (German: Funktelefonnetz-C, abbreviated as C-Netz), was a first generation analog cellular phone system deployed and operated in Germany (at first West Germany) by DeTeMobil (formerly of Deutsche Bundespost Telekom, currently Deutsche Telekom). It utilized the C450 standard and was the third and last update of a series of analog mobile phone systems used primarily within Germany, superseding the B-Netz and the A-Netz before it. It has been decommissioned, replaced by both the newer D-Netz (GSM-900) and E-Netz (GSM-1800) systems.
|Cognito Mobile Data solutions (Cognito is now Cognito IQ), data communications at 9.6kbps. Found in Cognito radio modems. Found in the UK. http://morse.colorado.edu/~timxb/5520/ho/MobDatTut.pdf
|Communication Based Train Control (CBTC)
|Communications Based Train Management (CBTM)
|Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB)
|Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) is a digital radio transmission technology developed in South Korea as part of the national IT project for sending multimedia such as TV, radio and datacasting to mobile devices such as mobile phones, laptops and GPS navigation systems.
|Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcast (DTMB)
|DTMB (Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcast) is the TV standard for mobile and fixed terminals used in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, and Macau. Previously known as DMB-T/H (Digital Multimedia Broadcast-Terrestrial/Handheld), the DTMB is a merger of the standards ADTB-T (developed by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University), DMB-T (developed by Tsinghua University) and TiMi (Terrestrial Interactive Multiservice Infrastructure); this last one is the standard proposed by the Academy of Broadcasting Science in 2002.
|A dropsonde is an expendable weather reconnaissance device created by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), designed to be dropped from an aircraft at altitude to more accurately measure (and therefore track) tropical storm conditions as the device falls to the surface. The sonde contains a GPS receiver, along with pressure, temperature, and humidity (PTH) sensors to capture atmospheric profiles and thermodynamic data. It typically relays these data to a computer in the aircraft by radio transmission.
|Electronic Train Management System (ETMS)
|Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (EMWIN)
|The Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (EMWIN) is a system for distributing a live stream of weather information in the United States. The backbone of the system is operated via satellite by the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS), but data are transmitted over radio repeaters by the NWS, citizens, and other organizations in many regions, and information can also be downloaded via the Internet. Local VHFVery High Frequency (30-300 MHz)/UHFUltra High Frequency (300-3000 MHz) radio rebroadcasts and older-generation EMWIN satellite systems operate at the speeds of 1200 and 9600 baudBaud (unit symbol Bd) is the unit for symbol rate or modulation rate in symbols per second.. EMWIN data consists of textual observational and forecast information, including a limited number of cloud and radar images. The new EMWIN, labeled EMWIN-N, began being upgraded in 2009. The upgrade continues through 2011 to ready older GOES satellites to provide a higher speed of 19.2 kbit/sKilobits per second (kbps).[1] The data broadcasts are monetarily free with both local rebroadcasts and satellite feeds. EMWIN weather data is primarily transmitted over GOES satellites that observe the United States. The new satellites are the GOES-N series, and are designated GOES 13, GOES 14 and GOES 15.
|EUROFIX, A DELFT UNIVERSITY CONCEPT to integrate GPS and Loran-C. Eurofix time-modulates the Loran-C pulses, producing a reliable data link out to a range of about 1,000 km. The Eurofix modulation scheme uses the last six pulses of the standard LORAN pulse group (Figure 9). These pulses are Pulse Position Modulated (PPMPulse Position Modulation) by ±1 μs. There are 729 possible modulation patterns. To minimize the impacts to users, the PPMPulse Position Modulation encoding uses 128 of a possible 141 balanced patterns to represent seven bits of data per Group Repetition Interval (GRI). The data rate is 70 to 175 bits per second, based on the GRI, and uses forward error correction (Reed-Solomon encoding) [8]. The Eurofix message length is fixed at 210 bits with consisting of 30 seven-bit words (GRIs). Seventy bits are used to represent the application data, while the remaining 140 bits are used for the forward error correction. The 70 bits of application data are structured such that four bits indicate the message type, 52 bits contain the application data, and there are 14 Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) bits. There are 16 possible message types that can be broadcast using Eurofix with Message Type 6 providing the UTC data [9].
|General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
|High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT)
|Another member in the family of FLEX™ protocols is InFLEXion™, Motorola's advanced voice and data messaging protocol utilizing both FMFrequency Modulation and Linear modulation signaling methods. The FCC action to release 50 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz wide Narrow Band PCS channels has allowed the InFLEXion™ technology to become available. The InFLEXion™ protocol allows for the creation of a voice and data messaging network with frequency reuse capabilities similar to that of cellular telephony. The protocol is based upon the ReFLEX™ protocol already discussed. It is also possible to operate completely in a simulcast mode. Other FLEX™ type protocols may be mixed on an InFLEXion™ based channel. InFLEXion™ based systems make specific use of the ReFLEX™ capability to request a messaging unit to respond to a location request, combined with directed transmission of pages within specific geographic areas. The messaging unit response enables the network control equipment to determine the specific geographic area in which the messaging unit is located. Using this response, a voice message may be sent to the nearest transmitter(s) to which the pager is currently located. The voice messaging over the 50 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz channels features variable compression techniques allowing equal to or greater than 24 times the subscriber capacity of today's 25 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz channels. Simultaneously, other voice messages may be delivered on the same frequency to messaging units which are geographically separated from each other so that there will be no transmission interference. With InFLEXion™ Data signaling the throughput on the 50 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz channel allows signaling of up to 112 Kbps As in ReFLEX™ systems, the InFLEXion™ protocol provides a choice of multiple inbound signaling speeds to allow the system structure to operate with the fewest number of receiver sites for a given traffic level.
|Incremental Train Control System (ITCS)
|Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting—Terrestrial (ISDB-T)
|ISDB-T (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting – Terrestrial) is a new type of digital broadcasting system for providing audio, video and multimedia services. ISDB-T system was standardized at the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) in Japan. ISDB-T uses a modulation method referred to as Band Segmented Transmission (BST) OFDMOrthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing.
|Interoperable Electronic Train Management System (I-ETMS)
|Link 16
|Mark IV/V/VI
|A digital format that supports tone, numeric, and voice paging. This system requires 2ms to send a binary 0 and 4ms to send a binary 1 making the data transmission rate between 250 to 500 bpsBits per second (bps). Mark IV could handle tone only and Mark V and Mark VI could handle up to 10 digits.
|MediaFLO was a technology developed by Qualcomm for transmitting audio, video and data to portable devices such as mobile phones and personal televisions, used for mobile television. In the United States, the service powered by this technology was branded as FLO TV. The "FLO" in MediaFLO stood for Forward Link Only, meaning that the data transmission path is one way, from the tower to the device. The MediaFLO system transmitted data on a frequency separate from the frequencies used by current mobile telephone networks. In the United States, the MediaFLO system used frequency spectrum 716-722 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz, which had previously been allocated to UHFUltra High Frequency (300-3000 MHz) TV channel 55.
|Multiple sub-Nyquist Sampling Encoding (MUSE)
|Multiplexed Analogue Components (MAC)
|A digital encoding format developed by NEC America that supports tone only and numeric pages at a rate of 200bps. This format was developed for use in NEC R3-D3 pagers. This format uses 2 methods for preserving battery life. First a preamble is used to alert ALL pagers that there are incoming messages. Pagers remain idle till preamble detection. Second, pagers are grouped by address into 1 of 4 different groups. Each group is transmitted during a fixed time period and pagers only power up to look for its own address during the time its group is transmitted. Error correcting codes and even parity bits are used on each address and message.
|Narrow-Bandwidth Television (NBTV)
|Near Field Communication (NFC)
NexNet is a proprietary two way paging system designed by Nexus Telecommunications Ltd. of Israel. It utilizes spread spectrum technology integrated into their paging receivers to transmit response messages. In its initial implementation, messages are forwarded to pagers through the utilization of the POCSAG protocol. The additional messaging information required for time synchronization of the transmitted messages with the two way pager responses sent at a later time, as well as the transmission of two way paging control data, is imbedded within standard POCSAG output data. NexNet outbound data in support of two way paging is sent in such a way as to be totally transparent to normal POCSAG transmissions so that two way paging may coexist in any preexisting one way paging system.
The Nexus two way paging device, known as the Twager™, sends responses formatted according to the NexNet™ "uplink" protocol specification. In the Spread Spectrum technique, the data is transmitted over a range of different frequencies and is detected by receiving equipment located throughout the coverage region. Each Twager™ utilizes different sets of frequency combinations (frequency hops)when transmitting their data. Complete response messages may be recovered at receivers even though some portions of the response message may have been corrupted. This is because a message segment which is corrupted because of interference from other transmissions or by a simultaneous transmission from another Twager™ at one or more frequencies, has a high probability of being properly received at other frequencies over which this segment is transmitted.In order to simplify the reception of the spread spectrum frequency hopped signals, the transmissions from the Twagers™ are required to synchronize to a precise clock. This precise time synchronization is achieved through the transmission of precision timing data which is imbedded in the POCSAG output stream. But, this is accomplished in a manner which permits this data to be overlaid into existing paging networks without the need to add any specialized transmission equipment.
|North American Joint Positive Train Control (IDOT PTC)
|Positive Train Separation (PTS)
|REACH 11th root of 2 Selcall
|An FMFrequency Modulation subcarrier system developed by Seiko Tele- communications Systems, Inc. The systems uses the 64kHz subcarrier on commercial FMFrequency Modulation broadcasts and operates with a data rate of 19kbps. The system offers a variety of services including paging, sports, weather reports, and stock quotes through the Seiko MessageWatch. The system is currently in limited use in the US with expansion planned into the top 20 US markets.
|Radio Code Line
|*Replaced pole-to-pole wiring along railroad between signal locations.
|Radio Mail Protocol (RAMP)
|RAdio Mail Protocol. This is the two-way version of the APOC radio paging protocol, which which it is backwardly compatible.
|Sirius Satellite Radio
|Swedish MBS
|An FMFrequency Modulation subcarier system developed by the Swedish Telecommunications Administration. This paging format supports tone-only, numeric and alphanumeric paging. Data is transmitted using the 57kHz subcarrier at a rate of 1187.5 bpsBits per second (bps). MBS (Mobile Search) is used in a modified form (MMBS) in the US by Cue Paging.
|Voice Inversion Scrambling
|Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)
|The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is an air navigation aid developed by the Federal Aviation Administration (prime contractor Raytheon Company) to augment the Global Positioning System (GPS), with the goal of improving its accuracy, integrity, and availability. Essentially, WAAS is intended to enable aircraft to rely on GPS for all phases of flight, including precision approaches to any airport within its coverage area.

MIT Technology Review Features WegoWise in "A Little Bit of Data, A Lot of Building Energy Saved."
Thursday, November 29, 2012
WegoWise was recently featured in the MIT Technology Review article, "A Little Bit of Data, A Lot of Building Energy Saved." The article, written by Martin LaMonica, discusses how WegoWise can provide property owners with insight to "how much they spend on energy and ways they could be more efficient." LaMonica writes:
"Rather than get data from meters or building control systems, WegoWise's application runs on readily available source: monthly utility bills."
"Building owners or managers fill out a questionnaire to provide basic information, such as square footage, HVAC system, and age of the building. Then they give WegoWise access to their monthly water, electric, gas water bills (hence the WEG in WegoWise) by providing user name and password to their utilities' Web sites."
"WegoWise can compare how individual buildings compare to benchmarks they've created with data from over 10,000 buildings. Then their Web-based application presents clean visualizations of the data that can help a building manager see that one building is consuming more energy or water than it should. It won't diagnose the problem, but it helps identify the big energy wasters."

The Moon Has Been Hiding Water From Us For Who Knows How Long
The Moon Has Been Hiding Water From Us For Who Knows How Long
I've always kind of liked the moon. And have felt an instinct toward protection when friends and colleagues have attacked her in print. What did the moon ever do to us, I thought, except look pretty and give us tides to surf on and write nice faux-reggae songs about? Well, it turns out that the less credulous among us may have been right not to trust her seductive blue glow after all. The moon has been holding out on us for years, hoarding vast supplies of valuable water beneath her apparently dry, desert-like surface. Scientists started to suspect something was up recently. But now, new analysis of volcanic moon rock brought back by astronauts 40 years ago has yielded evidence of far more water than we'd ever imagined!
The analysis, reported in Science, has looked at pockets of volcanic material locked within tiny glass beads. It found 100 times more water in the beads than has been measured before, and suggests that the Moon once held a Caribbean Sea-sized volume of water.
The Caribbean Sea?! What the…
All right. Listen moon, I've run out patience. It's hot here on Earth. 80-something degrees today in the city. And it's only going to get hotter. We're thirsty. And we don't have enough water. Make with the goods in some kind of heavenly lunar rain that will keep our reservoirs filled for eternity or there's gonna be trouble. Don't push us any more. We'll come get the water ourselves if we have to. And no one wants that.

Frequently Asked Questions About Total Disability Based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) Benefits
Experienced VA benefits attorneys answer your questions
Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban understands how important your veterans' benefits are to you and your family. If you are unable to hold gainful employment because of a service-related disability, we are determined to help you qualify for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) benefits. We offer this list of frequently asked questions to get your inquiry started. If you need additional information, do not hesitate to contact us.
- What are TDIU benefits?
- Who can receive TDIU benefits?
- What if I don't meet the percentage requirements?
- Can reservists qualify for TDIU benefits?
- How much pay would I receive for benefits?
- Could I be due past benefits from TDIU?
- Can I collect Social Security and TDIU benefits?
- What type of impairment might qualify me for TDIU benefits?
- How do I apply for TDIU benefits?
- What if my TDIU claim has already been denied?
- What if it's been many years since I served?
- What can I do if my disability has been rated too low?
- What is meant by "gainful employment"?
Let us stand up for you
Obtaining VA benefits can be an uphill battle. If you need a strong ally, Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban is ready to help. There are never any upfront charges for our services, and you pay nothing unless we win your claim for benefits. The benefits appeal process could take years, but if we prevail, you receive an initial lump sum for all retroactive payments. The VA automatically deducts 20 percent from this sum of our legal fees.
Even if you can't make it into our offices, someone is always available to assist by phone. Call our office today at 866-866-VETS or contact us online.
TDIU is a monthly payment from the VA for veterans whose service-related disability prevents them from maintaining gainful employment.
Who can receive TDIU benefits?
Veterans may qualify if their service-related disability is not rated at 100 percent but still prevents them from working. Your single disability must be rated at least 60 percent, or you must have at least two disabilities that total more than 70 percent, with one disability rated at least 40 percent. Then you must present medical evidence that your disability prevents you from getting or keeping gainful employment.
What if I don't meet the percentage requirements?
Veterans can still qualify for TDIU benefits if they do not meet the "schedular" percentage requirements under "Extra-schedular TDIU."Extra-schedular TDIU, like regular TDIU, still requires you to show that your service connected disabilities alone render you unemployable. The burden of proof will be high, and the VA will be very reluctant to award this type of TDIU as it is non-traditional. Be prepared to fight your case at the Board of Veteran's Appeals. Your case will require at least one expert testimony, if not several. Your case will have to present "exceptional circumstances" essentially that show that the current disability rating schedule, in your case, is wholly inadequate and unrepresentative. Generalized statements will not suffice. Once the Regional Office determines that there are exceptional circumstances, it will refer your case to the Director of Compensation and Pension for a decision.

Can reservists qualify for TDIU benefits?
National Guard and Armed Forces Reservists can qualify if they were active duty at one time and their disability is service related to that active duty period.
How much pay would I receive for benefits?
TDIU pays the same rate as a 100 percent VA disability benefit. The monthly minimum payment under TDIU is currently $2,906.83. Veterans with dependent children and parents receive extra monthly benefits.
Could I be due past benefits from TDIU?
The Veterans Administration is notorious for clerical oversights. If the VA made an error that delayed paying you benefits on time, you can collect amounts owed based on your date of eligibility.
Can I collect Social Security and TDIU benefits?
It is lawful to collect both TDIU and Social Security disability benefits without there being a financial offset.
What type of impairment might qualify me for TDIU benefits?
Any mental or physical impairment that prevents you from earning a living and is service related potentially qualifies you for TDIU. Conditions include depression, PTSD, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and ischemic heart disease.
How do I apply for TDIU benefits?
You must complete and submit Form-21-8940.
What if my TDIU claim has already been denied?
You have one year to apply for a denial. If you do not act within that year, you must re-apply from the beginning.
What if it's been many years since I served?
As long as you received a discharge that was not dishonorable, you may apply for TDIU at any time.
What can I do if my disability has been rated too low?
You can appeal a low disability rating just as you would a denial of a claim for other benefits.
What is meant by "gainful employment"?
The VA does not have a hard-and-fast definition of "gainful employment," but takes it to mean consistent work for payment by an employer. If you perform odd jobs or occasional tasks for pay, the VA would not consider you gainfully employed. Additionally, employment may be marginal, rather than gainful, when the Veteran's earned annual income does not exceed the amount established by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, as the poverty threshold for one person. In other words, if your income exceeds $12,331 (for 2015 at least), then you are deemed to have "gainful employment" and are ineligible for TDIU.

Mounted in a jet frame we find an animal portrait that makes us wonder how the sculptor managed to get the pet to sit as the subject. We believe this was someone's treasured pet and the cameo was carved as a special memento for the animal's owner.
Animal motifs in jewelry were common in English jewelry. The English persons affection for animals was often shown in his or her jewelry. This sentimental expression might have been deep love, respect or even grief.
The cameo is shell and the carving shows amazing detail and is three-dimensional. Overall the brooch measures 1 3/4 inches in diameter and is 3/8ths of an inch in depth. The pin and clasp on the metal back are original but there is indication both have been reinforced at an early period. In addition there is a metal ring making it possible to wear the piece as a pendant.
Wonderful antique condition.

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has begun sample production of a new type of DDR (double data rate) SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access memory) chip that is 25 percent faster that the current fastest memory chips in widespread use.
The new DDR333 memory has a data throughput of nearly 2.7G bytes per second compared to current DDR266 memory, which has data throughput of 2.1G bytes per second. Samsung is expected to begin mass production later this year, at about the same time as other companies. For users, this means performance should be increased because data can flow faster between the memory and the rest of the computer. Performance increases are most likely to be seen in applications that involve large amounts of data, such as video or graphics. Samsung said it is aiming the chip at the high-performance PC, server and workstation market where such benefits will most readily be recognized. It will also push the memory for use in products such as game consoles, digital TVs and set-top boxes.

National Coalition Asks Networks To Tell Full Story On Minimum Wage
In response to a report by Media Matters showing that evening news programs on four major broadcast networks -- ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS -- have been largely silent about the public cost of low wages, a coalition of 22 organizations issued a letter asking the networks to do better.
As evidence mounts showing that low wages cost taxpayers and our economy billions and keep millions of workers in poverty, the push for better, more livable wages is growing nationwide.
On March 11, Media Matters released a report showing that ABC's World News, the CBS Evening News, NBC's Nightly News, and the PBS NewsHour only mentioned the public cost of low minimum wages eight times in the last year -- including how low wages force workers to rely on government programs, such as food stamps, housing vouchers, or other anti-poverty programs. The majority of mentions were on PBS NewsHour, which provided six of the eight total.
Allies -- including the AFL-CIO, Communications Workers of America, United Auto Workers, MoveOn.org, National Employment Law Project, and Americans United for Change -- were among the 22 organizations that signed a letter urging the networks to cover the cost of low wages.
The full letter can be read here.

Litigation Jihad: It's time to put a stop to this!
LITIGATION JIHAD: Hire a Muslim woman ONLY if you enjoy getting sued
At the above link, Barenaked Islam offers a huge and shocking list of litigation jihad abuses.
I've been running a series of articles on 1389 Blog about banning the burqa.
This does not go far enough by any means. It's time to ban every form of hijab and voluminous Islamic robes, on the grounds that this is a de facto uniform of enemy combatants (yes, including women, who may be wearing suicide belts).
There is NO excuse for allowing ANY Muslims to set foot on the soil of ANY non-Muslim country, but that's an argument for another day.

If you dream about becoming a successful model, endorsing various brands with your perfect face and beautiful looks then you really have to work hard to grab the best opportunity. Modelling is not something that will fall on your lap automatically, there is a procedure that you have to follow and modelling auditions are the first step towards your dream.
People who take these modelling auditions seriously tend to put in extra efforts to leave no stone unturned, however there are other people also who take this initial process so lightly that they even don't know how to present themselves before the casting directors.
The first ever step to master modelling auditions is to know about modelling as there are so many types of modelling including, high fashion, print and editorial modelling. You have to choose your options wisely to be at top of your game in that field.
Depending upon your interest and experience, choose your field in modelling wisely. Research on anything and everything about your field as this will help you in knowing your profession well and you can easily decide what type of modelling profession you can go for.
After selecting the type of modelling, prepare your portfolio. Go for basic portfolio book containing your 10-15 photographs. Remember, your portfolio shows your skills, it will work as your identity on basis of which you will be judged, so it should be containing all your best photographs and details about your previous assignments.
List out studios and casting directors who organize modelling auditions related to your field of interest in modelling. Contact these agents to know if there are some auditions going on where you can apply and also about the procedure if there is any. There is an option for open auditions also, which are held on daily basis.
Know well in advance the place, timings, requirements and assignments before going for modelling auditions to skip the last minute hassle. Practice well before you give your best shot. If you are going for a high fashion modelling, you should be knowing how models strut their stuffs and showcase them. Practice in front of mirror at home so you should not look nervous during auditions.
Another important factor that plays a huge role is your health and beauty. You should pay attention towards your diet and daily beauty regime to have flawless skin, fit and healthy body.
While going for modelling auditions, try to dress simple. Your casting director will see you and get impress by your skills not by your dressing sense. Stick to a simple dress code that includes – jeans, T-Shirt and sneakers unless you are going for high fashion modelling auditions. If your audition is for high fashion modelling then you can wear heels.
Being punctual plays a huge role in one's career and if you are going for modelling auditions then you have to be before time. Being punctual will not only create a positive image but will also help you in grabbing best modelling offers as many auditions tend to be walk-in and if you arrive early, there might be chances that the casting agent will select you as in the end they are also tired and frustrated by flipping over numerous portfolios.
Be confident while giving the auditions. Try to make more eye contact with the casting directors and if offered then shake hands like a professional without feeling nervous. Show the right attitude to the casting crew and try to avoid making irrelevant conversations with them.
Remember to smile, like always. No matter how your audition goes, just carry that beautiful smile on your face. During auditions, the crew members or the casting agents observe each and everything about the candidate including his/her personality, the way he/she talks or he/she behaves. Through this, they judge the candidate to know if they will be able work with them for long term or not. So how you interact, matters a lot.
While giving auditions, carry your own style with confidence as you see that many famous models have their own unique style which they carry while presenting themselves, so be original. As they say, high achievement always take place in the framework of high expectations, so don't lose hope and just prepare yourself for the best and look out for more opportunities.

Mascara is like that one friend we love to hate.
Like any friendship, we have our moments. We have our ups and downs, but in the end we always come out smiling. They may poke us in the eye, stick to our lids and run throughout the day, but we can't seem to get enough. Don't worry, I was talking about the mascara that time. As much as we can't stand mascara at times, it definitely comes through in times of needs making our lashes go from 0 to 100 real quick.
Although it may every woman's favorite beauty product and we feel like we have the relationship down pat, like any relationship there's always still more to learn. You may think you know, but you have no idea the ever so common mistakes you're making when applying your mascara. No worries. There may not be an app for that, but these mistakes are extremely avoidable and to find out what they happen to be -- keep scrolling.
Even beauty products have expiration dates.
Don't continue using a mascara that you've had for months on end. If you can't recall when you purchased it, it's time to get yourself a new tube [see card on expiration dates here].
Excessive pumping of the wand.
The more air you allow into your tube the more likely your mascara will clump.
Elongate your lashes from the roots.
If you're not applying your mascara properly than it's pointless. "If you don't get mascara at the roots, your lashes look shorter than they are," says makeup artist Diane Kendal.
Layers upon layers of mascara.
We get it, you want thick lashes. We all do, but piling on several layers will just leave your lashes a clumpy mess. The maximum layers for the majority of mascaras is no more than two. "The more you put on, the more likely it will dry mid-application," says makeup artist Kate Lee.
Using a heavy hand to apply your mascara.
When applying your mascara use a light hand or else you will end up with mascara smudged all over your lids. Not cute. When this happens use a q-tip to remove it.

Sam Lachow runs in a lot of circles and seems to be the type of person who could run with various crowds. Young and ambitious like most kids who make that transition into a young man Sam already has an edge due to being creative pretty early being a part of a comedic group Shankbone. While not your average off the wall group Shankbone definitely paved their own lane and sound garnering their own fan base in Seattle. While being a rapper or producer is all fine and dandy Sam Lachow wanted more adding director to his credits. He went on to direct videos for his own crew as well as a abundance of other local artists. Still affiliated with his old crew Sam Lachow is stepping out on a solo mission to release "Brand New Bike" a collection of songs he recorded featuring artists from Seattle and New York. Playing a cross country game of home and college Lachow puts together a good release featuring fairly unknown but on par talent to accompany his vision. From singers to rappers you find yourself semi embraced in finding out who some of the feature acts are and the live music feel just sets it apart. While rapper of the year awards wont be in order for Lachow his creative instincts is what will get him far in this business whether its behind a mic or behind a camera. So often the in a region that seems to play second fiddle to new acts and continue to praise artists who believe they are more than what they seem this album will probably fall on deaf ears for most. For those willing to give new things a try check out I-Tunes, Amazon, or other digital spots for this release.

One of Sci's favorite holidays is here! Halloween, where you get to dress up, pretend to eat brains, and most importantly of all, where all the candy goes on SALE. So while Sci is wolfing down truly sickening amounts of sugar, she invites you to take a spooky jaunt into an interesting disorder: LYCANTHROPY.
Ah, werewolves. We all know about them. Some of us love them.
But do we know where they come from? Where does the idea of lycanthropy arise? It's not from the dark (or the full) of the moon.
Is it a fantasy? Something not real? Well, yes and no.
...that's probably not what you wanted to hear.
But in fact, lycanthropy is real, it's a real manifestation of a severe psychiatric disorder.

Kenya Railways officials have suspended plans to evict nearly 50,000 people living and working alongside railroad tracks planned for renovation. Despite the announcement, there are worries that the forced evictions could still happen in the near future.
On March 21, people living near Kenya's railway line to Uganda were given notice that they had 30 days to leave their homes to make room for upgrades to the system. The notice was presented by the Kenya Railways Corporation, a state owned company which runs Kenya's rail system, and gave no indication that those living near the tracks would be resettled.
The eviction notice was met with an outcry from local residents as well as the international community. Many residents have lived near the rails for years and threatened to fight back if forcefully evicted. London-based human rights organization Amnesty International called the planned eviction a violation of Kenyan and International law.
The 30 days given by the initial notice expired just one week ago, and this week it was announced that Kenya Railways had suspended the pending removal until further notice. The decision was reportedly made after discussions with a community organization in one of the affected areas, Ngazi ya Chini, which means bottom of the ladder in Swahili.
While the decision was celebrated by many of the reserve's residents, the director of Amnesty International in Kenya, Justus Nyang'aya said that the eviction had simply been postponed, leaving residents uncertain about their future.
"While it is welcome news, there has been a lot of psychological trauma on people," said Justus Nyang'aya. "When people are told they are going to be evicted it is not an easy matter at all. People ran everywhere scared that they were going to be evicted. Then they are told now that we have suspended it. And they are not saying that they have suspended it until another day. They just said 'we have suspended it' which is an open ended suspension."
No new relocation plan has been released, and Kenya Railways Corporation could not be reached for comment.
The majority of those affected by the decision live in Kibera, an area in western Nairobi which is famously known as Africa's largest slum. Kibera is home to an estimated one million inhabitants, and the railway due for renovation runs right through its center. The tin shanties of Kibera stand within 10 feet of the tracks in some areas, well within the 100 feet designated as railway reserve by the government.
Amnesty International has called on the Kenya Railways to respect a plan drafted by Kenyan authorities in 2005 to improve safety along the tracks. The so-called Relocation Action Plan established guidelines for the eviction process and suggested that inhabitants within the railway reserve be resettled in housing provided by the Kenyan government. The plan was never enacted and residents living in close proximity to the rails were allowed to remain.

News just in - I don't know if this is an error, or maybe just a REALLY really good deal from the Playstation store, but they have priced the download of Manhunt 2 for the PSP at only £0.00. Yes, that's right folks, ZERO cost. If you want to pay real money for this PSP game, it's currently selling for £7.49 @ CoolShop, just to show you the price comparison.
How to get the free PSP game Manhunt 2:
- Access the Playstation store through your PS3, and search for "Manhunt 2." Just complete the checkout process, and then download.
If you browse the store, you won't see it at £0.00, you must complete a search to find the deal.
You might also be able to access this on the Playstation store through your PSP, but we haven't tried that out yet.
Thanks to Bob100 on HUKD.
UPDATE: Too late – you were too slow and missed this hot deal! Why not subscribe to our email updates or RSS feeds to make sure that doesn't happen again?

Susan Forbes (BABCP Accredited)
01843 861849 / 07891 657145
About me
I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) psychotherapist and Integrative counsellor with many years experience of working privately and within the NHS in GP surgeries.
CBT has become one of the most advocated forms of psychological therapy in recent years, largely due to experimental evidence and its therapeutic success. It is promoted by the NHS and the media as being the most effective and efficient form of therapy available for a wide range of psychological problems.
However, there is evidence that other forms of therapy, including mindfulness-based and integrated approaches may be just as effective as CBT. It has also been suggested that a more important variable is the therapist. The therapist who is able to form a good therapeutic alliance with you is more likely to help you towards positive change in your life, irrespective of approach. Also important is the belief shared by you and your therapist that this particular style of therapy is the one best suited to this situation and to you. Consequently, I tailor my approach to suit your individual needs and endeavour to provide a supportive environment to enable you to openly address your concerns.
I work with individuals and couples.
I can offer sessions in English or in Greek.
Training, qualifications & experience
My qualifications are:
- The Human Givens Post Graduate Diploma in Brief Therapy 2004
- Diploma in Counselling (NCFE) 2005
- MSc Clinical & Applied Hypnosis (London University) 2007

I am accredited by:
- Counsellors & Psychotherapists in Primary Care (CPC)
- British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP)
- British Society of Clinical & Academic Hypnosis (BSCAH)
and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
I have had many years of experience working with people with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, OCD, low self esteem, trauma, PTSD, weight management, insomnia, pain and relationship difficulties among others.

Lately I'm having trouble understanding what the Liberal Party stands for. They've just had two leaders (Michael Ignatieff, and Bob Rae) who are complete mysteries to me. I really don't know what they stand for, or what they're passionate about.
Apparently I'm not alone. Here's the view of Thomas Walkom from a column in the Toronto Star a few days ago [Do Canada's, or Ontario's, Liberals matter any more?].
On the other hand, it's not clear what the Liberals represent any more. They would like voters to think of them as the non-Conservatives — the alternative to Stephen Harper federally or to Tim Hudak in Ontario.We've been discussing this issue with our former Liberal MP, Omar Alghabra, who happens to be a member of Justin Trudeau's team. Justin, for those of you who don't follow Canadian politics, it the son of Pierre Elliot Trudeau and he's running for the leadership of the Federal Liberal Party. We want Justin, and all the other candidates, to speak out on what the Liberal Party stands for.
But are they?
Paul Adams, an astute political observer writing in iPolitics, argues that the federal Liberals have transformed themselves into the old Progressive Conservatives, socially progressive but fiscally to the right.
I'd go further. I reckon the old PCs of Joe Clark would find federal Liberal leadership candidate Martha Hall Findlay's talk of dismantling farm marketing boards a bit too right-wing for their tastes
Similarly, Liberal front-runner Justin Trudeau's enthusiastic embrace of the Alberta oilsands would probably be seen as a tad naive by the Red Tories of former Ontario premier Bill Davis, most of whom believed that strong business required equally strong regulation.
As a party, the Liberals haven't had a new idea since the 1980s. Individual party members have (Stéphane Dion's green shift comes to mind).
But the party, as a whole never signed onto Dion's environmental agenda. Nor has it signed onto anything else.
The Liberals talk of holding policy conventions that would replicate that golden period of the 1960s, when the party embraced medicare, public pensions and welfare reform.
But they never do. Former federal leader Michael Ignatieff hosted a thinkers' conference that headlined prominent conservatives. Nothing came of it.
The conventional wisdom among Liberals is that strong policy positions should be avoided at all costs in order to avoid alienating voters. Instead, Liberals prefer to talk about what they call values.
Omar sent us a link to this video. It's obvious that Justin is avoiding the question. He stands for some trivial issues like legalizing marijuana but what about the bigger issues? How do I tell the difference between the Liberal Party and Conservative Party or the New Democratic Party? I don't think I can vote for Justin Trudeau or for any of the other leadership candidates. In fact, I'm not sure I can vote for the Liberal in the next election. The NDP is looking very attractive.

Southern Oregon's Newest Quilt Shop Opening Soon!
Start making your lists for what you want in a quilt shop and any special items that you would like for us to carry. I am open to suggestions! I have owned 2 shops already, and cannot wait to open this one. We are all about excellent customer service! There will be new classes, new instructors, and new ideas. We are not limited to quilting, but also will have a lot of other sewing project ideas to share with you.
Our fabrics are all from the high quality companies that you know and love such as Alexander Henry, Michael Miller, Blank, Island Batiks, Bali, Moda, RJR, Batik Textiles, P & B, Marcus, Benartex, Northcott, South Sea Imports, and many more! We have many great notions, patterns, and books also!
The date and exact location will be announced very soon! There is a lot of prep work, so my blog will keep you updated on where we are with that, then continue as the shop is up and running.
To date, I am preparing to close the current location and getting everything ready for a great moving sale! This will be posted here and on CraigsList. New items are being ordered for the opening, the new color scheme is selected, and the logo is at the print shop. As soon as the papers are signed, the location will be announced.
Medford lost its only quilt shop last year (there are still a few retail fabric shops, and some nearby towns have quilt shops). BUT, as we know, Medford needs a small, friendly, knowledgeable quilt shop here again! Well, get ready, because we'll be opening soon! Get your project ideas lined up and make your shopping lists!
More will be posted as we progress, at least every couple days!
Thanks for looking!

Well, the progress on the shop is coming along. The fixtures are being painted to get rid of the purple they currently are and become much more classy, yet comfortable and earthy color. We are moving from a cute, yet not catchy look. New fabrics are arriving weekly, and great new classes are being developed. Samples will be hung early to allow for finding just the right classes.ReplyDelete
Our logo is a covered wagon on the Oregon Trail. This theme and the colors will be found throughout the new shop, but will not be overpowering. You will be greeted by a soothing atmosphere just right for browsing around for a while.
THe grand opening will follow the grand closing of the original shop, the Purple Pincushion Quilt Shop, currently in Grants Pass, Oregon. It has been a local quilter's staple for nearly 7 years, but its time has come, and it will be well remembered. We hope that all of our customers will join us at the new location in Medford, along with many new friends!
Keep watching, more is coming!
Well, things are moving along at a fast pace now! The new shop will open on March 1st. in Medford, OR. Location will be announced next week. Lots of fun activities, classes, games on the way. Earn Conestoga Cash to spend in the shop! Punch cards will still be honored to earn free merchandise! Get ready for a great quilting and sewing experience!ReplyDelete
Oregon Trail Quilt Co. is now packing merchandise, painting, and preparing for a grand opening. Check out the new website for info, classes, products at OregonTrailQuiltCo.com.ReplyDelete
Well, we're open for business! We have a great new location, great lighting, and lots of new stock arriving weekly! Come and visit soon! The shop is at 1325 Center Drive, Suite 110 in Medford Oregon, and the website is OregonTrailQuiltCo.com. Hope to see you there!ReplyDelete
Well, this blog has been let to go for too long. I am going to faithfully add to my blog this year as my New Year's Resolution. I have been busy this year researching the reasons for so many quilt shops across the country closing their doors and finding ways to help them to stay open. For starters, everyone who sews and quilts should come in and support their local shops, and those along the way when they travel. Stop buying so much at national chains such as Walmart and Joann's. They may seem cheaper, but so are their fabrics... and you will never get the service, classes, knowledge, and fellowship that you will find at your local quilt shops. As far as non-fabric supplies, well, those chain stores do carry many quilt shop quality cutting mats, rotary supplies, and notions. But, do you want to support those chains to stay in business or your local merchants? Use a coupon, but get the rest by getting the best! You won't be sorry! Have fun, Happy New Year, and Happy Quilting!ReplyDelete

In the big-band era of the 1930s and 40s, radio networks frequently broadcast orchestras from hotels and ballrooms in big cities such as New York and Chicago, and the broadcasts could sometimes be heard by listeners hundreds of miles away. If you'd tuned into NBC's "Blue Network" one night in February of 1942, you would have heard a Midwestern big band playing at the Savoy Ballroom in New York City—and you wouldn't have known it, but a young man who was going to change the course of jazz in just a few years was soloing in the orchestra that evening. The young man was alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, and we'll hear him at length near the end of the track that opens this show, on Jay McShann's "St. Louis Mood."
McShann's orchestra, one of the first big bands that Parker joined, came from Parker's hometown of Kansas City. It was one of the last great groups to emerge from that city's thriving 1930s scene that had produced bands such as Count Basie's. The airshots at the Savoy ballroom in February 1942 give us the chance to hear Charlie Parker stretching out a bit more than he could on 78 records, when he was an unknown, up-and-coming artist in his early 20s, already making huge strides in his approach to playing saxophone, but so far impressing mostly only a small circle of fellow musicians.
Bird In Big Bands, Off The Record
Over the next few years Charlie Parker somehow managed to pass through several other orchestras without being recorded. He left Jay McShann's band in 1942 and was persuaded by another young musician on the rise, Dizzy Gillespie, to join Earl Hines' orchestra. That particular edition of the Hines band became legendary for its personnel and sound, but unfortunately Parker's stay in it coincided with the American Federation of Musicians' recording ban, so there are no studio recordings and no known broadcasts of the band that survive.
In 1944 Parker joined the ranks of singer Billy Eckstine's progressive orchestra, which included, at one time or another, Dexter Gordon, Gene Ammons,Fats Navarro, Sonny Stitt, Miles Davis, and Art Blakey. However, the band never recorded while Parker was in it. Later on in the 1940s Parker played and rehearsed a few times with Dizzy Gillespie's big band, but once again the band was never caught on air or in the studio with Parker as a member.
The Norman Granz Years
The next chance we get to hear Parker in a large-ensemble setting comes in 1947, when Parker made some recordings for jazz impresario Norman Granz's Jazz Scene anthology. The Jazz Scene was sort of an early coffeetable package set, featuring 78s by a variety of artists in folio packets and a booklet as well, selling for $25—quite a steep price in the late 1940s. Parker did a small-group side for the set, but also rather spontaneously ended up appearing on a track put together by arranger Neal Hefti, called "Repetition." One of the orchestra members said years later that
It was the most phenomenal thing I ever saw. The lead sheet for him was spread out, a sheet of about ten pages and he had it strewn out over the piano. He was bending down then lifting his head up as the music passed by, reading it once or twice until he memorized those changed and then proceeded to become godly.
Parker spent the rest of his life recording for Granz's various labels, and Granz liked to feature him in a variety of settings—including, on several occasions, large-ensemble Latin-jazz dates. One such encounter
in 1948 paired Parker with Machito's Afro-Cuban big band. As Parker biographer Carl Woideck has observed, the simplicity of the one-and-two chord vamps often employed by Latin jazz bands like Machito's contrasted greatly with the quickly shifting key centers of much bebop repertoire at the time, potentially making creative improvisation more of a challenge for a player like Parker. As he so often did, however, Parker rose to the occasion. By 1948 he was already searching for formats that would force him to find new ways of being musically creative.
Recording with strings was yet another context for Charlie Parker during his time with Norman Granz… and while the with-strings recordings proved to be controversial with some Parker fans, in particular because of the rather saccharine arrangements provided by Mitch Miller, they indirectly led to some big-band studio recordings that Parker would make under his own name in 1952. Of all of his with-strings sides, Parker was happiest with those arranged by a pianist named Joe Lippman, and it was Lipman who did the charts for the 1952 big-band dates.
Lipman had gotten his start in the 1930s arranging for Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, and Bunny Berigan—he's the one who did the arrangement of Berigan's signature hit "I Can't Get Started." He and Parker seemed to click; as jazz musician and scholar Bill Kirchner wrote about their recordings together,
The arranger knew that for best results he simply had to write conductor parts for Parker with a melody, chord changes, and indications about where to play or not play. After one or two hearings of an arrangement, the saxophonist's innate musicality took over.
One of the sides they produced, "Autumn in New York," became one of the best-selling records of Parker's career.
Guest Stints With Herman, Kenton, And The Orchestra
This studio big-band date of Parker's had been preceded a few months earlier by a concert appearance with the Woody Herman orchestra in Parker's hometown of Kansas City. According to the remembrances of one Herman band member, Parker was in town to visit his mother, and because of this was also sober, resulting in a crackling level of performance. He already knew much of the band's book, though in the second song of this set you'll hear him struggle a bit the first time through the bridge on the big-band-bop anthem "Four Brothers." He burns through "Lemon Drop," another flagwaver from the Herman orchestra's repertoire.
That same year a group of Washington D.C. jazz musicians put together a big band that they named in honor of a young, up-and-coming area jazz DJ—Willis Conover, who would go on to become famous around the world as a jazz host for the Voice of America. "Willis Conover Presents the Orchestra" put on a series of concerts that featured guest soloists such as Zoot Sims, Stan Getz, and, in early 1953, Charlie Parker, for a show that, fortunately for us, was recorded. Parker was flying by the seat of his pants here; he didn't really know the arrangements or even some of the tunes, but he still did a marvelous job of negotiating key changes and modulations. We'll hear him with the orchestra doing a tune named in honor of Conover, "Willis."
This edition of Night Lights closes with concert recordings made during Parker's guest stint with the Stan Kenton orchestra in early 1954, about a year before Parker's death at the age of 34. Parker played a number of shows with Kenton; it was the first time in years that he became familiar with a big band's book, and some arrangements were even written for him by Bill Holman. We end with "Cherokee," appropriately enough, since that's the tune on which Parker made his revolutionary breakthrough, preceded by the ballad "My Funny Valentine."

NJ State Police Take Delivery of Moose Boat
Moose Boats delivers M1-44 Patrol Boat to NJ State Police.
Moose Boats, an aluminum boat manufacturer, recently delivered a M1-44' Catamaran to the New Jersey State Police in Point Pleasant, NJ. The M1-44' is an all aluminum catamaran powered by twin 600hp Cummins diesel engines coupled to twin Hamilton 322 water-jets with Hamilton Blue Arrow Controls and a hydraulically driven fire fighting system with a remote control bow monitor rated for 750 GPM pumping. The M1-44 will serve as a regional marine fire-fighting asset throughout Southern NJ. The boat features an extra wide fullyenclosed cabin complete with a mini-galley, large workstation, dinette and three shock mitigating seats. The cuddy cabin offers a full size berth and head compartment. The interior arrangement is designed to maximize crew safety and comfort for year round patrol missions.

Once you understand the type of racket you need you can start shopping for the right cheap badminton racket for you. The store you buy it from and the quality of racket you choose will ultimately determine which racket you select.
Chances are if you are looking for a cheap badminton racket you aren't looking for anything that delivers a high level of performance. If you are looking for an inexpensive racket you are probably looking to play casually at either a family picnic or regular outing. You can find a racket for way less by putting in the time to find the best price.
What To Consider When Buying Cheap Badminton Rackets?
My intentions are not to talk you out of buying a cheap racket. When you buy one however you should be aware of the concessions you're making. If you think you will be playing a decent amount of badminton, buying something that is less expensive may actually cost you more in the long run.
When you buy cheap you are costing yourself durability. The more you use a cheap racket, the more likely it is to break or get damaged. You'll be replacing your racket more often if it is of lower quality.
If you won't be playing that often and you want something to have for the occasional family picnic, cheap is fine. You will want something that can be used by anyone and everyone. You want something that is light enough a kid or elderly can complete a lobbed up smash hit. You want something that is strung in a way that will allow your 400 pound uncle to make a diving stab to win the match.
Where Can You Buy Cheap Badminton Rackets?
You can definitely find them at wal-mart or target. They might even sell a complete badminton set that has a net, shuttlecocks and rackets all for one low price. If you are looking for cheap replacement rackets you can find them online.
The first place I would suggest looking is eBay. There you will find auctions for inexpensive badminton equipment, including rackets. They are always competitively priced and you can be sure you're getting a good deal. Often times there is no better place to buy inexpensive items than ebay.
You might also want to search Amazon.com. They are more than just a book store. The internets largest retailer carries a selection of inexpensive and cheap badminton rackets to choose from. They are sold by both Amazon and third party sellers. You can purchase them today and get them sent directly to you in a short period of time.
How Much Do Cheap Badminton Rackets Cost?
A cheap badminton racket is going to cost anywhere between $5 and $10. This depends on just how cheap you want to get. If you ant something with a plastic frame and pink fish line quality stringing, you'll pay around five bucks. If you want something that might last more than a game or two you'll spend around ten.
The store and overall quality racket you choose will ultimately determine the price you pay. Make sure you are clear on the concessions you're making by buying a cheap badminton racket. You'll want to get it as soon as possible and you'll want to shop around at every possible option there is.
When you're looking for a cheap badminton racket your number one focus is on price. The best place to get the best prices on just about anything is ebay. You'll be able to find combined auctions and buy it now offers for badminton rackets that fit your budget.
Make sure you are ok with the shortcomings of using a cheap badminton racket. You won't be invited to any national team tryouts with a $10 racket but you will stay within your budget and you will get a good fun use out of the racket.
