Player Spotlight: John Camden
Related Links
HG: For someone who has never seen you play, how would you describe your game?
JC: I am a shooter but I can get to the rim too. I use my shot to do that so once I knock a couple shots down I like to pump fake and go to the basket. I am also a good rebounder and passer.
HG: What has your camp experience been like?
JC: It is a little up and down. The first day I was with one team and was scoring alot of points and doing my thing. Now with this team there is more of a ball dominant guard so I am just finding my groove trying to put point on the board while also helping my team.
HG: What does your recruitment look like?
JC: I am getting some interest from a few school but no offers yet, they will come.
HG: What would you bring to a college program?
JC: Like I said, shooting. I am a 6'7" shooter so I can shoot over small defenders, rebounding, passing and just getting to the rim.
HG: Tell me a little bit about yourself outside of basketball.
JC: I have three older sisters so big family. I am from Downingtown, went to a public school but now I go to Westtown for basketball.
HG: What kind of music are you into?
JC: My favorite artist is probably Drake. I like the new stuff he just came out with.

3 Worthy Winners: 2011 Pratt & Umbra Design Competition
Once again, relative material and conceptual simplicity wins the day in the Pratt & Umbra home product design competition – a little thought, clever idea and easy execution go a long way.
Jeff Rubio and his Clutch Clip carried off first prize – a clever but decorative and easy-to-grasp way of adding a handle as well as visual accents to a stack of papers or even a dull brown paper lunch bag.
Second and third place runner-up awards went to a tea cup with a twist (an insulated mug with a niche specifically for a tea bag string) and a multi-pronged, suction-cupped bathroom coat hanger solution.

This post is for my sister who said,
"You never post the pictures you are always taking."
[Not a literal quote.]
When my husband first met me, he said one of the reasons he liked me was because little things make me happy. Well, I think I got that trait from my funny family. We have the most fun sitting anywhere: here at Chick-fil-a, hanging out and talking. It`s one of my favorite things about my family as well.
Jason, his boss calls him "Dimples". ha
Vinnie: So one, two, three, dollars more for the chickenburger….
(alternate quote for Vinnie: This $5 manicure is for the birds!)
Dad: "Julia, add a lemonade to that order."
Julana: "Wanna bet?"
Joy: (laughs nervously) "What are you even talking about?"
Since school was about to start and we never got our family of 4`s little vaca in– we decided to sleep near Easton and have a lazy family day shopping the next day– just us.
A guy had a stand there where kids between certain ages could sail real sailboats in the fountain, donations only. Unfortunately for us, Elle was too young and G was too old. Sniff for us.
I dont feel classy or well-read often, but when I saw the name of a new favorite author of mine (Paul Theroux) on the top left of the Barnes and Noble– I FELT classy. (And had to get a picture to prove it. There. I AM classy.)
I had to wonder: Does he (Theroux) know his name is there– on that bookstore in Easton, OH? And if he did, would it thrill him? Or would it just be old hat for him to have his name up there with Whitman and Poe?
"Yeah, I read those guys when I was 6. They`re kinda boring…"
And it was then…
…that I REALLY noticed the off-spelling. Ok, yeah………..
I think they meant this guy.
(Yeah, that makes more sense.)
Argh! I am NOT CLASSY AT ALL.
Hi, the sun is bright and my hopes of a frameable shot of my girls and I is fast fading.
At least I have convinced the 4 year old that her mom is the greatest mom who ever lived. Thanks Elle, you can gaze at me like that any day.
Oddly sweet.
"Okay Galen, you can give me the camera now. I'm just going to have to delete these all."
Elle wanted to take this picture of the sailboats. She took this one. I thought it turned out so artsy. G thought it was just more that it was tilted sideways.
Lego store.
Easton shopping area is pretty high end. I mostly window shopped. So PRETTY to gaze upon though.
Flowers and Shops.
You know when someone talks about this one thing all the time, and then to other people when they refer to them, they are known for that one thing? It`s called in extreme cases a fanatic.
"that crazy cat lady"
"He`s nuts for Star Wars"
"Bieber Fever"
"Oh, it`s just the high heeled shoe lady."
Anyway, well I hope I am not "that lady" when I bring up this store AGAIN.
I will just say it was eye-boggling, and so, so beautiful– and that`s all I will say.
I held my own hands down, to keep from taking too many pictures. My right hand got away from me, and quickly shot this picture, above. It`s not that great of a picture in the end. It only left me asking,
"Lady. Why those pants? Today?"
Pretty and unusual color combo.
Galen took Elle to do something special together (they watched Pooh) and I got this girl. She is wearing Elle`s new dress I bought at the store before, and my pin because her hair was a mess and she was all sticky.
I love her to bits but she got really excited in Anthro, and wanted run around and touch everything hog-wild. I so wanted to be alone, and was not exactly thrilled with her that day.
Yes, pictures can be so deceiving.
That`s all I have.
Happy FRIDAY (all caps because we all know everyone likes FRIDAY!!) to ya. Over and out.

I am finishing up some pieces tonight.
Light work.
Cutting some chain, wrapping some beads, hand buffing some pieces.
Writing thank-you cards.
This is my last big shipment for the holidays, and I'm listening to this beautiful song
with a glass of Chianti.
I do love Armstrong's version, almost as much as Edith Piaf's.
When I imagine going to France which I will soon I've promised myself
I hope to hear this song wafting through the evening air while sitting outside at some small cafe surrounded by cobblestone, gorgeous architecture and good company.
It's a nice daydream, don't you think? ;)
Norbert and I watched the Edith Piaf biopic, La Vie En Rose, earlier in the year.
I highly recommend it.
Marion Cotillard (whom I love) is absolutely outstanding in this role.
Tonight, though, it's the The King and I.

Subjects: X-ray, Binary, Neutron Star, Transient
The neutron star X-ray transient MXB 1730-335, aka the Rapid Burster, has been detected in outburst by the JEM-X monitors onboard INTEGRAL during the Galactic Bulge monitoring (see ATel #438) observation performed on February 28th, 2013, between (UT) 14:28 and 18:10.
It is detected at 25 σ in the combined JEM-X mosaic with an effective exposure time of 2 ksec, and the measured fluxes are the following:
170 ±6 mCrab (2.9e-9 erg/cm2/s) in the 3-10 keV energy band,
122 ±13 mCrab (1.5e-9 erg/cm2/s) in the 10-25 keV energy band.
The source is not visible in the IBIS/ISGRI camera with flux upper limits (6 σ) of ~3 mCrab (2.9e-11 erg/cm2/s) in the 18-40 keV band, and ~10 mCrab (1.0e-10 erg/cm2/s) in the 40-100 keV band.
No bursting activity is noticeable.
During the previous observation of the Galactic Bulge on February 24th (see ATel #4840) the source was not detected with 5 σ upper limits of 8 mCrab (1.1e-10 erg/cm2/s) and 5 mCrab (5e-11 erg/cm2/s) in the 3-10 keV and 10-25 keV bands, respectively. The last outburst we saw was in September 2011 (ATel #3646), but the Swift/BAT seems to have seen the source active last time in November 2012.
The next INTEGRAL observation of the Galactic Bulge is planned for March 11th.

This summer, Adventures in Odyssey Clubhouse wants you to Take the Plunge! Dive into your faith and grow to be a stronger, wiser and more loving person.
This year's challenge is 5 times the fun!
Click here to download the activity form.
Part One—Commit Your Way
Nothing's better for your brain than memorizing God's Word. Start with the Take the Plunge theme verse:
"Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act." —Psalm 37:5
Then memorize 5 other Bible verses.
Part Two—Get Moving
A strong body will help you serve the Lord. Stay active this summer, and get your family involved, too. Grab a parent, your siblings or even a grandparent and exercise together 5 times.
Take the plunge into a swimming pool. Visit a park, go for a hike or hop on your bikes.
Part Three—Show God's Love
When you know Jesus, others can see the difference He's made in your life. Bravely share your faith with 5 people.
Invite a friend to church camp or vacation Bible school. Bake cookies for neighbors and include a Bible verse. Tell someone about Jesus. Serve those in need. You can spread the Good News in so many ways.
Part Four—Look Back
As you complete the challenge, keep track of your activities:
- Which verses did you memorize?
- Who did you exercise with, and what did you do?
- How did you share God's love?
Once you've finished, write a short essay (around 250 words) about how this challenge impacted you. What happened when you took the plunge? Did you help people? Did God help you grow?
Part Five—Picture This
Attach a photo of yourself completing the challenge (exercising with your family, serving others or reading your Bible). We'll publish some of our favorite photos and stories in Clubhouse!
Send your completed activity form (including a photo) to:
"Take the Plunge," Clubhouse magazine
8605 Explorer Dr.
Colorado Springs, CO 80920
Canadian readers should mail their entries to:
Focus on the Family
19946 80A Ave.
Langley, BC V2Y 0J8
Entries must be postmarked by August 14, 2015. Everyone who completes the "Take the Plunge" challenge will receive a cool prize.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it matter which Bible translation I use?
Nope. If you or your parents prefer a certain version, use it. We just want you to dive into God's Word.
Which 5 verses should I memorize?
It's up to you. If you're already memorizing Scripture for VBS, AWANA or the Bible Bee, that's great.
If you're just getting started, maybe you could learn verses about salvation (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8, Romans 10:9, Romans 8:1) or a classic passage (1 Corinthians 13; Psalm 23). If you're looking for something easy, try John 11:35 (it's only two words).
How do I prove that I've memorized the verses?
You could send us a video of yourself reciting verses blindfolded—just kidding! We suggest reciting them to your parents or a Sunday school teacher. Don't rush it; let the verses really sink in. Twenty years later, they might still be nestled in your heart.
How long do I have to exercise?
Shoot for at least 30 minutes each time, and you should only count one activity per day. Make it fun! Play games with your siblings, or go on a hike with your grandparents.
Does ______ activity count as exercise?
Let your parents decide. The goal is for you to be active this summer, whatever that means for your fitness level.
Can I exercise with a friend instead of my family?
Sorry, we're not called "Focus on the Friend." We really want you to spend time with your family this summer.
What if I'm too scared to tell someone about Jesus?
There are lots of ways to show God's love to others. If you're too scared to use words, use actions. Help an elderly neighbor with yard work. Volunteer to work in your church's nursery. Make care packets for people who beg in the streets. Raise money for a missionary.
But at least once this summer, you should try to talk about Jesus. Your pastor can advise you, and your parents can help you practice. Part of "taking the plunge" is conquering your fear and standing up for your faith. As Paul says in Romans 1:16, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel."
Do I have to use the downloadable activity form?
We'd prefer it. There are lots of pieces to this year's challenge, and it's easy to lose track. If you decide to make your own list, be sure to include your first and last name, birth date and full address on the page so we know where to send your prize.
What's the prize?
You'll find out soon. Prizes should go out in October (not October 1st... please give us a few weeks).
Why is this challenge called Take the Plunge?
It's named after Adventures in Odyssey album 59. Odyssey Adventure Club members can hear Taking the Plunge right now at OAClub.org or you can click here to order the album.

could the GeoEye-1 spy satellite have a "classified mode" ?
everybody knows that the GPS satellites system has TWO operational modes:
1. a "clear" commercial/low accuracy mode, and
2. an "encrypted" military/higher accuracy mode
well, my question is: could the Google Intelligence Agency GeoEye-1 new spy satellite have also a VERY HI-RES "classified mode" ?
Google Intelligence Agency logo/patch/parody... :)

At October 19th 10:40pm MT, Casandra Effe posted a public Facebook note to prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau started simply with, "Hey Justin. I'm Casandra, and I'm an average west coast, middle class mom voter." Thanks to the magic dust in the air of our social media age, Casandra's note went "viral" and the rest is history. The note now has 42,600+ "likes" and 37,700+ "shares" at press time (as I typed this at 3:33pm) and it keeps climbing for a very special reason.
The reason that the "likes" and "shares" will likely keep climbing today is that Casandra's note has just got a reply and a share from the prime minister-designate, Justin the man himself, today on October 23rd at 2:04pm MT!
Casandra's original note was moving as it went on to say, "You and I are the same age. I have so much to learn in terms of diplomacy and leadership, and so I'm guessing you acknowledge this in yourself too. This is going to be quite the ride for you and me." And then she laid out clearly and concisely 10 points covering many important areas that must have touched some core nerves of Canadians. The 10 points include asking Justin for changes to our electoral system (point #2), rebuilding Canada's name on the world stage (point #3), don't be bought by big companies and lobbyists (point #4), protect our rare and natural resources (point #5), support science and the dissemination of the research results by reputable and skilled Canadian scientists "rather than destroy it" (point 7), support an unbiased public information forum (point 8), and finally point #10, "Bill C-51. Fix that thing. That's like a bad sci-fi movie happening in real life. I can't believe you voted for that in the first place."
Trudeau wrote in his reply, "Casandra, I've read your letter with great interest and admiration. Your honesty and frank words have resonated across the country, and I take them to heart. First, thank you for your vote. Since the start of this campaign I've pledged […]" And he seemed sincere.
Trudeau ends his reply with (emphasis added), "Right now, I'm focused on building the Cabinet that will make our plan a reality starting November 4th. I hope you'll stay as engaged as you are now throughout the process – and feel free send me another Top 10 some time down the road!"
At the end of the day, it a a pleasant change to see a Prime Minister who seem to care. Care enough to encourage a citizen to stay engaged, and even asking her to send new "Top 10" sometime down the road.
This reporter has reached out to Casandra Effe to try to interview her to get her comments. No reply as of press time.
Note: In the not too distance future, it will be very useful for reporters to know what posts are written and shared directly by the prime minister-designate Trudeau himself. Possibly borrowing a page from President Obama's Twitter account @BarackObama policy, "This account is run by Organizing for Action staff. Tweets from the President are signed -bo." May be posts by Justin himself are signed -jt.

About OneJanuaryDay
Marbler, Printmaker, Bookbinder and Mixed Media Artist
In January of 2012, I retired following a 30-year career with a Fortune 500 Telecom company. The month of January is often looked upon as a time of new beginnings – a time when we can reflect on the past and resolve to start again with a new perspective and brighter outlook.
This idea of new beginnings was one of my clearest intentions with my retirement. I needed that fresh start, a chance to look at everything with beginner's eyes, time to learn and experience new people, places & things, and space to hold what I know up to the light and see what it might tell me. As I began to think about building my creative business, these things fit perfectly with how I wanted that business to look and One January Day was born.
I always say I'm a problem solver at heart – I like figuring out solutions to problems and organizational or lifestyle needs. I LOVE delivering a problem-solving product that's bright and fun and sure to inspire other creative souls! I love beautiful papers and fabrics and especially love transforming my own hand-printed materials into new and innovative artwork, blank books, home décor and lifestyle solutions.
I am a full time artist and teacher, working from my home in central Oklahoma. When I'm not in the studio, you will likely find me walking along a wooded trail, creating a gathering of some sort, traveling to some new and exotic place, or happily working my way through a stack of books.

A historic library threatened with closure could survive as a community-run project on the basis of a tentative deal that has emerged just days after council workers backed by police carried out an early morning operation to strip it of its books and the plaque commemorating its opening 112 years ago by Mark Twain.
The leader of Brent council in north London said they had agreed to sit down with local people who have been campaigning to save Kensal Rise library for more than a year and work with them over their proposal to run it at no ongoing cost to the local authority.
The plan is also dependent on an arrangement being reached with All Souls College Oxford, which owns the library.
Local campaigners, who have been backed by writers such as Philip Pullman and Zadie Smith, were alerted in the middle of the night this week that Brent council workers were stripping it of books, furniture and other items.
The move follows the council's failed attempt to clear the library earlier last month, when they were stopped from removing books by protesters. On Monday morning, between 2am and 3am, when most people were asleep, Brent council sent in a team to remove thousands of books in cardboard boxes.
Muhammed Butt, the council's leader, said the decision to remove the books was made before he took over his post in May but that he was determined to establish a new dialogue with the community in Kensal Rise.
"That does not mean I can offer an easy solution. Our libraries have to bear a share of spending cuts, and I make no apology for that. The deep reductions of over £100m in Brent's budget imposed by this Tory-led government mean we have to make difficult choices about all our services," he said.
Butt said he had instructed council officers to prepare a package of support to help with the transition of the library into a community-run project, including technical support and funding.
The development was welcomed by Dan Jarvis, the shadow culture minister, who added: "It is not an easy way out – it puts a good deal of responsibility on the shoulders of the campaigners and there are a number of issues that will need to be worked through before a final agreement can be reached."

This is the most special Festivity in our school.
Everybody takes part in it: children, parents, lunch monitors team and teachers.
It implies a lot of work, we take care of every single detail; but, we look forward it and enjoy the Festivity together.
Every year it is dedicated to a different theme.
This year we decided to join both Comenius Project topics, so it is about GAUDÍ.
Yesterday it was raining, we were afraid we couldn't celebrate the Carnival Festivity... but; luckily, the sun appeared today!
The school and the playground have changed, also disguised: the columns and benches covered with varied brittles.
From the start of the morning everybody was dressing up.
6th level children are the main characthers of the show, they are longing for this day. They are Bufons (King Carnival assistants) or Velles Quaresmes (Witches, they represent Lent, days after Carnival) They are maked up, dressed up, they put the stilts or the skates on, happily waiting to start the show.
5th level children were practising with their drums different rhythms to cheer up the show and the Carnival parade.
All the children in the school were dressing up with the help of some parents and their teachers.
We met in the playground about eleven in the morning.
The rhythms of the drummers started the Pasarel·la Gaudí (Gaudí show).
This year Tily, our Comenius Project mascot, opened the show; with 5 Bufons wavyng the flags of our countries. All the children received them singing the "Tily song".
Some tourists were looking for taxis to visit Gaudí's works, then appeared P5 children (taxis) dancing around the monuments they made. Then, brittles (P3 children) danced on the red carpet. After, stained windows (P4 children) filled with colour and rhythm the parade.
Benches or snakes from Park Güell (1st level children) twisted on the red carped.
As the colours from Batlló house flooded everywhere while the public was clapping enthusiastically.
3rd level children have built Sagrada Familia temple, moving everybody. After, the sun medallions from Park Güell (4th level children) radiated with rhythm along the red carpet.
After the parade, where are the designers of this art works? Gaudinian teachers, happily danced, greeted and laughed through the red carpet. Then, came the lunch monitors team; dressed as la Pedrera chimneys' and finally the stage was filled with tourists (mothers and fathers) very similar to those who visit Barcelona.
Finally, the Bufons appeared!! Colour and happiness everywhere... But then, the Witches came: darkness and sadness all over. The leaders of each group start a dialectic battle: the Witches say that we are loosing time doing nonsenses, and order us to go back to classrooms. The Bufons cheer us up to have fun. People shouts: Witches out!! When King Carnival appears smartly dressed jumping on his stilts and waving his big red flag everybody cries: Hurray!!!
He is very funny, makes us laugh and encourages all to participate in the parade through the town streets. So, everybody goes walking and dancing happily.
It has been fastastic!! Intense feelings as every year.

Salary negotiation - how much are you worth?
When the interview goes in the direction of starting salary, there is often an embarrassed silence. This is not the time to be nervous. Convey a clear idea of what you want to earn. Your salary expectations should not be too low, but also not unreasonably high. How much are you worth?
The right approach: this is how to earn more!
Make sure you do adequate research before your interview about the standard market rates. This information should however not prevent you from demanding something else. A company is never focused solely on paying the "industry average", instead it is planning to earn revenue through you. Therefore you should try to sell yourself as an investment and not as an expense.
Tip - salary information in the job advertisement: in Austria it is obligatory to quote the minimum salary according to wage agreement in job advertisements. But don't let that intimidate you; in most cases the quoted rate is exceeded, based on qualifications and experience.
Convey a clear expectation of your future salary and use the argument of the added value that you represent to your future employer. If you are unable to do that, you could ask specifically how you should develop in order to achieve that value for the company, and thereby your salary expectations. Then agree a plan that will realise your expectations as well as those of your interviewer.
Salary: the whole package counts
Do not limit your negotiations solely to the salary factor, there are many additional services that might be of interest to you:
- Canteen: Through a company restaurant that is subsidised by the business you can save a lot of money.
- Pension: Particularly at the beginning of a professional career, retirement is a long way off. Many companies however pay into a private pension fund on behalf of their employees. That is also an interesting benefit, considering that you usually keep your claim to it even if you leave the company.
- Tax-free subsidy of fitness, sports or other leisure activities.
- Company car: for some jobs (for example sales), and from a certain career level, you can also ask about a company car that is also available for private use.
- Share options: a stake in the company.
Don't be afraid to be persistent. However please consider that your salary depends on what you bring to the company, and not on what you yourself need.
Paycheque: how much Net is left of the Gross?
In salary negotiations one usually talks about gross annual salary. That also includes additional financial benefits such as holiday or Christmas bonus. After deduction of all taxes and insurances, what remains of the gross salary is the net salary. The amount of the net salary can be worked out using a salary calculator.

What is the Impact of Women's History Month in Interracial Relationships?1sopxaadmin | April 13, 2018 | 7 | Interracial Dating Blogs
Interracial dating is increasing continuously with the involvement of the internet over the past few years. If you are a white man and dating with a black woman, you should treat it as a traditional dating as there is no any difference between traditional dating as well as interracial dating. If you are facing difficulties in being accepted as a couple and feel uncomfortable with your partner as people challenge you over something ridiculous as the color of your partner's skin, you should follow few things that help you in maintaining relationships. You must follow these tips to boost your relationship under any circumstances.
If your family members or friends refuse to accept your dating partner for who they are, you should ask yourself if those friends are worth keeping it. It can be shocking for someone to discover that longtime friends have secretly been ignoring and all they need was a presence of someone of another race to bring them out. They feel lonely by your decision to date someone else of the other race, and the fact is that it's not your problem to deal with, it's your friends. So, you should make them clear that either they accept your partner or make new friends instead of you. The main thing is that you should avoid your friends who are not accepting your partner along with you.
You should also consider the community you live in. Most of the peoples belonging to predominately black, or white or predominately Latino, African, Asian along with many other communities. In some areas, some groups or communities are not accepting life partners of other races. If you are making a plan to get married to the partner who belongs to other community, you should look for a home or community where diversity is accepted by all peoples. You will feel safe and secure there.
One of the most important things you should avoid is to ignore issues that are created by your friends about your partners. Don't listen to anybody who is arguing unnecessary things about your partner with you. You should also not hesitate in breaking relationships with your old and loyal friends who are not accepting your interracial partner. Moreover, if you are looking for a perfect dating partner of other community, there are many interracial dating websites where you can find your partner according to your specific needs and requirements. Online dating is the safest way to meet interracial singles. Get pleasure from your interracial dating experience, and don't get too hung on contemplating the fact that everyone is bad.

There's an old saying, attributed to several different sources but that's not really the point, that the secret to success is sincerity, and once you can fake that, you've got it made.
This no longer applies. Observable evidence suggests that nobody really cares about sincerity any more.
Between Rupert Murdoch behaving like he's the little guy fighting the toffs,
Andrew Bolt, whose 'blog hosts some of the most hateful comments this side of 4chan, and whose own posts are sometimes only slightly less ugly, dismissing Twitter as a "sewer of hate," (Warning: links to Bolt's 'blog)
and Tony Abbott. Where to even begin with Tony Abbott?
He has claimed that turning the needy away is in line with Christian teachings. He and his front bench are complaining that Labor is not giving details on its policies despite not released any details of his own policies and insisting that all will be revealed "in good time," with just over two weeks to go until the election. Then there was last night's second leaders debate with the venue, host, broadcaster and format of Abbott's choice. In this forum, after spending three years chanting mantras about boats, carbon tax and demanding an election, Abbott fell back on a pathetic, frat boy tactic of pointing to Rudd and asking, "Does this guy ever shut up?"
Tony Abbott gets his statesman on
Forget faking sincerity. The secret to success is, whether by accident or design, to be completely and utterly oblivious to your own rank hypocrisy.
Anyone who hasn't spent their whole life in a bubble will tell you that the first refuge of a bully is to accuse your target of your own worst behaviour. We should be beyond being shocked at Tony Abbott's unmitigated gall, but his accusation that it was Julia Gillard of turning political discourse into "crude political head-banging" has got to break some kind of record
Any real man who would say THIS after standing in front of THIS should die of shame.
Vote for whoever you want.

ISO cabling standards for data and electrical building services are really important. The cables once erected should never be mixed as it can lead to time waste and fatalities. The ISO standards define the cable erection systems as well as how to prevent the cables from mixing together in a socket. The boards of data and electrical cables are different but the underground wiring is most of the times done using the same passage and therefore it is important that the work is done without any system hampering the passage of other. In almost all the countries of the world, the wiring related departments are set up by the government.
All such departments are aware of the ISO standards and make sure that the work is done as per the rules and regulations. The ISO, on the other hand, make sure that the standards are developed in such a manner that they abode by the laws of the land of almost every country. This leads to the successful cabling projects. The building services also keep in view such standards if they are the ones handed over the electrical cabling project as well. The ISO standards also govern the facts that how can a cable be set up for different locations. For instance, the ISO standard for office cabling is different than the data center cabling. It further makes the understanding easy and in line with the requirements of the clients. The best part is that ISO revises its standards frequently so that they match the trends.
This standard is used to make sure that the IT standards are met while the cables are being erected within a facility. It comprises of all the management of cabling that is to be done. The standard and its related subcommittee were established in 1987 and since then the companies from all over the world have been using this standard to ensure that the work done is always standardized. ISO/TC 97 and IEC/TC 83 were the former codes and set of rules which were used. These standards were combined in 1987 to form the mentioned one.
The sensors are used in almost every business facility regardless of type and kind. It increases the security of the building and also makes it a safe working environment. The subjected standard is used to make sure that the sensor work that has been done in the building is state of the art. The related cabling and the networking of sensors are also managed by this protocol. The protocol was developed in 2001 and since then the sensors from all over the world are installed using this protocol.
The audio and picture coding is yet to be included in this protocol. The information interchange and exchange are the main scenarios that are associated with this protocol. The coded character sets which are used in high-end cabling are distinguished and based on this protocol. The universal coded character set is also maintained by this protocol.

I know that newborns are accustomed to being held (so to speak) constantly since that's what it felt like in the womb. I know that the feeling of hunger is a new, possibly confusing feeling. I was prepared for and am totally content with holding and nursing my newborn baby whenever and for as long as she wants.
On the other hand, sometimes I have to tend to my other child or (heaven forbid) use the bathroom (something that I have not figured out how to do one handed while holding a baby). In these instances, I put my newborn down either in her bouncy seat if she's awake or her bassinet if she's sleeping. She is ok with sitting in the bouncy seat for at least the few minutes I need to run to the bathroom or start making lunch or whatever. The bassinet is a lot more tricky.
Nine times out of ten, when I put her in the bassinet, she wakes up three or so minutes later with a wet diaper. Every once in a rare while, she'll stay asleep for 10-25 minutes, which I consider a successful transfer from my lap to the basinet. Those other, more frequent times, are way more frustrating. It's not like I can check her diaper without fear of waking her up before I transfer her, so I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty sure this bassinet is having some sort of diuretic effect on my baby. I'm pretty sure the moment I let go from placing her in the bassinet, some sort of something magic happens where she pees, and then moments later realizes it, wakes up and starts crying.
I'm trying very hard not to let this discourage me from continuing my attempts to successfully transfer her to the bassinet, especially when those rare times do happen and I can make lunch with two hands. (I also know that were I more adept at babywearing (and more comfortable using a more simple carrier like a sling), I would be able to do more things with both hands.) I'm pretty sure it's just a coincidence, but it doesn't feel like it when, for the fifth time in a day, I put her down then five minutes later have to change a wet diaper.

Choro - Villa Lobos
Prelude - Lauro
Annabelle - Joshua Hall
Sweet Little Lies - Michael Franti Cover
I am often asked if I sing as well as play solo guitar music, and the short answer is a resounding Yes! Drawing on an incredibly wide variety of music, I can perform songs from the early days of broadway like Ain't Misbehavin' and Lullaby of Broadway to 1960's – 70's classics (like the Beatles and Van Morrison) to today's hit songs. My goal is to sing something for everyone. Though I do not know every song, if there is something special you want played for your event, I will learn it.
If you want a song custom written for your event, I write original songs and sound track music as well. Custom Songs can even be produced on a beautiful CD and given out as a special gift. Contact me for details.
Joshua's music was harmonious and romantic, it was the perfect backdrop to our wedding ceremony. Aside from Joshua's talent, from a personal and professional standpoint, working with him was easy. Josh was punctual, he came to the ceremony site the night of our rehearsal, he acquainted himself with the ceremony location and it was such a calming experience to rehearse with the music we would be hearing during the actual wedding. I would absolutely recommend Joshua Hall to anyone looking for a talented and professional musician.

The quest for home
FC United of Manchester is pioneering a new model in football finance with the launch of a £1.5m community share issue.
The club, formed by Manchester United fans in 2005, is giving supporters and the wider community the chance to invest in its future by buying shares to raise funds for the development of a new £3.5m stadium, close to United's birthplace in Newton Heath.
The 5,000-capacity ground will be the first permanent home for the club, which currently plays at Bury FC's Gigg Lane. It will help secure its future by providing it with a sustainable income stream, and allow it to further develop its award-winning community work. It will also provide much needed community sports and social facilities and is intended to act as a catalyst for regeneration in one of the most deprived areas in the UK.
FC United is launching the share issue just days after a planning application for the Newton Heath stadium was submitted to Manchester City Council, with a decision due on Thursday 25th November.
The club hopes the share issue will raise £1.5m of the total cost of the ground, with an equal amount coming from grant funding. The club will also raise £500,000 through donations, with £300,000 of that already raised. The stadium will fall under the club's 'asset lock', a legal agreement that prevents the club's assets being separated from the club and sold off, and ensures continued community use.
FC United is the first football club to issue community shares, a means by which community enterprises can raise capital funds. The club operates under a one member one vote system, which will remain unaffected by the share issue.
The main aim of the shares is to provide investors with a social return by funding the football and community objectives of FC United, but the club's business plan also provides for potential financial returns for shareholders.
Supporters, investors and companies can support the club's development by buying £1 shares from the minimum purchase of £200 up to £20,000.
The offer is open to individuals aged 16 and over, and businesses. All shareholders must be members of FC United but non-members can join at the time of application. The offer closes on 30 November 2010.
There is a moratorium of three years on any withdrawals and interest payments, but the club hopes to pay small amounts of interest on the shares from the third anniversary of occupancy of the completed development onwards, subject to the club fulfilling its community obligations and to board discretion.
Community shares cannot be traded or transferred like normal shares, but shareholders who want to withdraw their investment can apply to have their funds returned from the fourth year onwards. Subject to board agreement, the club will allow not more than 10 per cent of the total share capital to be withdrawn in any one year.
Andy Walsh, FC United general manager, said: "FC United has achieved a great deal in the five years since its foundation, despite not having a permanent home. With our own ground and community facilities we can achieve much more, making the club sustainable and fulfilling our ambition to become a beacon showing a better way for football.
"Through the community share issue we can make that happen. At a time when many clubs are in debt or in the hands of major investors, we aim to demonstrate that there is a real alternative. We want to change the way football is run and financed by putting supporters at the heart of the game.
"We are offering supporters and others the chance to be part of this exciting development and help make football history. This is a landmark opportunity to invest in a club bringing football back to the heart of its communities and leave a lasting legacy for future generations."
Subject to personal circumstances, Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) tax relief may be available to people who buy community shares. EIS is arranged between the investor and HMRC, and the benefit to each individual will depend on their tax position. If eligible, an investor may be able to claim back a proportion of their investment against their tax liability. If unsure, investors should seek professional advice. (Further information on EIS is at: www.hmrc.gov.uk/eis)
For more information about FC United's community share issue, including the formal prospectus and an application form, please visit: www.fc-utd.co.uk/communityshares.
The club will be holding an open meeting for any supporters or potential investors interested in finding out more about the shares and the Newton Heath plans, at the Manchester Methodist Hall at 7pm on Thursday 23rd September.

John McWhorter is a regular contributor of language commentary for the masses with a special interest in the evolution of creoles and grammar. Though not infallible, he offers a great deal of accessible information about language to a broad audience. You might have heard about some of his other books like The Power of Babel and What Language Is.
Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue: The Untold History of English is McWhorter's treatise on the various roots of the English language and how it got to be what it is today. This book is a great general introduction to the many ways languages can change, with English being an all-encompassing case study. (He uses plenty of examples from non-English languages to help illustrate his points, too.) Think of it as an English-language, slightly more academic answer to The Story of French.
McWhorter's style is plain enough for non-scholars (or non-native speakers) to enjoy, and intelligent enough for language professionals to appreciate it, too. I especially enjoyed his multi-lingual humor. For example, in his gentle push for the grammar police to just let.it.go, he reminds them:
Shitte happens (pg. 182).
My only quibble with Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue comes up in chapter 4. All of a sudden, the book turns into a rant against Whorf's hypothesis on language and thought. Whereas previous chapters skimmed merrily along, flitting from one reasoned argument to the next, keeping a lively rhythm and pace, this chapter plunged me into a bog of antagonism against a man who has been dead for over seventy years. After a decent sample size of pages for review purposes, I exercised one the basic rights of every reader and skipped ahead.
That incident aside, I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the development of English through McWhorter's writing. It was fascinating to learn how language history can be pieced together over gaps in written record. Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue also offers a great review of English grammar, explaining the reasons behind some of our more mysterious writing rules.

The LHWCA is a part of a set of federal workers' compensation laws that are meant to provide coverage to employees that are not traditionally covered by state workers' compensation statutes. In general it covers "maritime workers" which it divides into two camps – longshoremen and harbor-workers. In general, the term "longshoring operations" refers to the loading and unloading of cargo from a vessel and the term "harbor-workers" is defined to include those that build, repair and deconstruct ships.
There are a number of people that are specifically excluded from coverage under the LHWCA, but if and only if they are covered by state workers' compensation laws. First, people employed to perform office work or secretarial work, data processing or to provide security, are not included under the act. Maritime work oftentimes involves some work that is arguable clerical in nature, especially in the loading and unloading of ships, but this exception only applies if the employee is exclusively employed to perform these tasks, i.e. performing a little bit of clerical work as part of another job will not in and of itself prevent an injured worker from claiming benefits under the Act.
The Act also excludes people that are employed by a club, camp, recreational operation, museum, restaurant or retail outlet. In addition, people that work for vendors, transporters and suppliers are not covered if they are injured when visiting the premises of a business engaged in maritime work as long as they are not performing the same kind of work performed by that business. In other words, the Act excludes people that are not involved in traditional maritime work even if their duties bring them into contact with true maritime employees.
Employees of a marina are not covered unless they are involved in the construction, expansion or replacement of the marina.
Individuals building recreational vessels that are 65 feet in length or shorter are not covered. Nor are people employed to repair any recreational vessel or to dismantle any part of such a vessel in connection with its repair. The statute used to state that employees repairing vessels under 65 feet in length were excluded from coverage, but the current version of the act expands these exclusions to apply to "any recreational vessel" 33 U.S.C. 902(3)(f).
Acquaculture workers (people who raise and breed fish) are also excluded from coverage under the Act.
In addition there are exclusions for people that are covered by the Jones Act, namely members of a crew or ship masters as well as people employed by masters to load, unload or repair a vessel that is less than 18 tons net.
The LHWCA is a good way for Maritime workers to receive medical and wage loss benefits following an injury on the job, but getting coverage under the Act can be tricky. Frequently, the employee gets told both by the state workers compensation carrier and the longshoreman that neither is providing coverage for their injury. In those cases it makes sense to file both types of claims at the same time and then choose the one that looks to be more successful.
The Humphries Law Firm, P.C. represents injured maritime and land-based workers against insurance companies and employers to obtain the compensation due an injured employee under state and federal laws.

I am a practicing physician in the United States. I have observed significant reductions in both fasting and blood glucose and A1C levels, determined by independent laboratories, in my several of my patients on the Edotide plus therapy. I take Edotide plus myself, and also recommend it for my patients.
Just got results of my blood work back this morning. Good news-- my Hemoglobin AIC dropped from 7.1 from 3 months ago to 6.6 post Edotide. My doctor's nurse wants to recommend it (Edotide plus) to her friends and patients. I will continue to take it. I still want my AIC under 5.
I was always very tired and sleepy. Now, I am less tired and sleepy and more alert. I did a search on the internet and I read about its affects on insulin resistance and I think that it may have relevance to me. My older brother was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2 and I have gained a lot of weight since moving back to Mississippi. So, I think that my feeling tired and the lack of energy maybe due to inefficient production and /or use of insulin. So, I have found Edotide Plus to be useful for me. I was always very tired and sleepy. Now, I am less tired and sleepy and more alert.
I am 74 year old; EdoTide plus has improved my sleep quality. I was wakening up 5-6 times during the night to urinate. But since I started the Edotide plus regimen, urinating has significantly improved with volume and flow rate. Thanks EdoTide plus!
Vernonia amygdalina extracts (EdoTide plus) is helping me. I am feeling much better and my MRI is showing a remarkable improvement…

Bianca Seals A.K.A Krush The Goddess comes out of Detroit where the scene is on fire right now. There are a lot of great artist that come from that region, a lot of male rappers that have made it but still no females have made the transition. "You can't win it if you're not in it," says Krush. Her plan is to make a name for herself in the industry when its's all said and done.
Krush was born in the 80's in Detroit, MI at a time when her surroundings were pretty rough. She can remember her dad listening to a lot of soul music as a kid. Luther Van Dross, Earth, Wind and Fire, Patti Labelle and all the other popular artists. On the other hand her mother listened to a lot of rap. Growing up in a household that was filled with different music has prepared Krush The Goddess to bring her own unique style of artistry to the industry.
Her name has a lot of different meanings to it. Krush represents the affect she has on the fellas. The Goddess represents the level at which she holds herself like a young Queen Latifah. When you put it all together you have a woman who is confident and knows her worth.
Confidence will take you a long way, and this artist has plenty. she is doing shows that she booked on her own, not needing any help from so called managers or janky promoters. With a Detroit mind state she definitely has the swagger of a self made successful business woman. Be on the lookout for Krush The Goddess to make an impact in the game.

Mike Carey and Elena Casagrande's "Suicide Risk" #3 continues their bold and intriguing look at a world with superpowers out of control. It's not a new idea, but Carey breathes wonderful life into it.
It's quite amazing what Carey has been able to do with world building in so few issues, especially when it comes to his superheroes. His villains are each more interesting and complex than a whole flock of average comic book villains, and it gives the book a fascinating angle. Even with a back-story info dump on villainess Memento Mori, which Carey keeps short and works into the narrative fairly seamlessly, the characters are interesting and their powers are horrifying. Considering "Suicide Risk" is not afraid to kill characters (including beloved dogs, ouch), readers can really feel the ramifications of those horrifying powers. The consequences up the stakes considerably. Our lead feels reasonably safe, as lead characters generally do, but there are real risks for most everyone else in the book, including the villains.
One of Carey's most interesting characters so far is The Alchemist, with a more nuanced form of mind control that changes brain chemistry and that people will pay high dollar for. The Alchemist's girlfriend, as Carey addresses straight away, is essentially being raped, since her agency has been stripped from her. In a comic book world where this happens more than readers would think and with creators not understanding what they're doing or saying with something like this, it's refreshing to see Carey calling it for what it is on the page.
Casagrande gets better with every issue. There's always been a nice smooth style to her work and clean storytelling but this issue is more consistent overall. The emotions and character acting is also better throughout. Some of the action scenes still don't quite work and backgrounds are a bit sparse, but it's getting there. Ed Dukeshire's colors pay particularly great attention to the light in the more dramatic scenes -- villains conspiring in dark rooms, the gold of Goddess-like villains, and even our heroes own lightning power.
If you like superhero stories with a dark bent and stories that feel like they have real significance and ramifications, give "Suicide Risk" a try. It's risky and interesting with phenomenal world building and characters.
