Having a dog as a pet can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. They offer not only friendship but also love and companionship. However, just because dogs are loving and faithful pets, it doesn't mean that you don't have to work at the relationship.
If you've adopted a new dog who's had a difficult past, you might have to earn your dog's respect and love for them to feel safe and happy. There are ways that you can start to develop a stronger bond between you that will last a lifetime.
Start Training Together
One way that you can start to build a good relationship with your dog is to participate in positive reinforcement training. You need to show them that you are a good person and that they can come to you for all things good.
You should make the training fun and also positive, by giving rewards for good behavior, and you will encourage your dog to enjoy being good for you.
Spend Some Quality Time Together
It might sound unusual, but your dog needs time with you just like any other member of the family. Just sitting there with them and giving them some attention can be the perfect thing for your best friend.
You can make it part of your walking routine to sit down on your walk and share some peaceful time together. Or, you can take them with you while you train – it will certainly make a big impression on your dog.
Make Food Part of the Training
To reinforce the bond you both have, you need the dog to know that you're the giver of food, and treats as well. There are some great companies like PawsIQ that offer healthy treats for dogs that you can use.
By using meal times and treats as ways for them to see you as the food giver, you will strengthen the bond. It will also work to reverse any negative experiences they may have had with previous owners.
Earn Their Respect
Dogs are just like people in the way they need to see that you respect them. If you show them that you won't do anything to hurt them, they will soon become a lot closer to you.
If there's something that they don't like, then try not to do it. That way, they will see that you respect them and understand what they want.
Try and Make Experiences Positive
There are times when you will need to do something your dog hates. Whether that's having a bath or going to the vet, they're going to look to you for support. Try to give them their favorite toy or a treat if they do well, as a way of offering comfort.
The bond between a dog and its owner can be extremely strong, to the point where they will never want to leave you. It's this relationship that makes dogs such good friends and pets.

Proceq Asia's move into Fusionopolis – the Singapore-based high tech business cluster – emphasizes Proceq's increasingly digital approach to NDT (Non Destructive Testing) and commitment to the region, while also aligning with the contemporary nature of Proceq Headquarters' facilities and regional office spaces around the globe.
Proceq, now incorporating the team and portfolio of Zehntner GmbH Testing Instruments, is moving ahead with an exciting program of 2018 launches in the non-destructive testing (NDT) and retroreflectometer space, new recruitment and expansion into high-tech business space.
Proceq SA and Zehntner GmbH Testing Instruments jointly launch two path-breaking new products at Intertraffic Amsterdam
Proceq acquired Zehntner GmbH Testing Instruments, a leading Swiss-based manufacturer of retroreflectometers on January 1, 2018. Proceq, part of the Tectus Group, has been providing innovative testing solutions since 1954 and its strong research and development team in Switzerland continues to create Swiss-manufactured products featuring latest technology. With the acquisition of Zehntner, Proceq has strategically complemented its technology portfolio with optics.
Interview with Proceq Product Manager, David Corbett
All cats are grey at night – and this means that they are almost invisible. This is also true for objects and installations on public roads as their visibility will be poor during darkness. Therefore high retroreflection, also referred to as night visibility is an important factor in improving road and traffic safety.
Raised retroreflective pavement markers are an asset both economically and socially, but they must be maintained. Technology is ensuring that testing is carried out efficiently, so that the road safety budget can go further.
Good visibility of road furniture and particularly good visibility of road markings and traffic signs is not a question of prestige or luxury. It provides confidence for the driver and is thus a crucial factor in ensuring traffic safety.
Traffic signalization represents a visual guideline in traffic and affects the behaviour of all participants. Regarding road traffic, the impact of direct information comes into play more than in other traffic modes due to the large number of participants and intensity of traffic flow.
The principle of gloss measurement on even surfaces is simple: the reflection of an incident light in a defined angle will be measured.
However, gloss measurements often have to be carried out on curved surfaces. If the surface to be measured is not even, the following aspects should be considered:
Many countries across the world have introduced safety programmes to reduce the number of deaths on their roads.

S: Romeo and Juliet Project
BC: By Abrya Fields Ms. Gentekos Pd. 8 Romeo and Juliet project: Scrapbook.
FC: Love, Fate, And Betrayal
1: Paris scatters flowers, that he took from Page, on Juliet's grave just before Romeo shows up with Balthasar. | The picture captures the theme of love conquers all because it was love that drove Paris to Juliet's grave with the flowers and drove him to fight Romeo | "Sweet flower, with flowers thy bridal bed I strew." | Act 5 Scene 3 Line 12 | Love Conquers all
2: The knife Juliet took from Romeo's dead body symbolizes the theme love conquers all. Because Juliet loved romeo so much, when she woke from her tomb and found him dead she was willing to kill herself to be with him. Their death ended the feud between the two families "Yea, noise? Then I'll be brief. O, happy dagger, this is thy sheath. There rust and let me die." Act 5 Scene 3 Lines 174-175. | The poison Romeo got from the apothecary represents love conquers all. Love conquers all because Romeo loved Juliet so much that he was willing to kill himself because she was, so he thought, dead. "Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die." Act 5 Scene 3 Line 120. | Love Conquers all | The money symbolizes th theme love conquers all because Romeo was willing to pay the apothecary for poison, even though he knew it was illegal, so that he could kill himself to be with Juliet. "Hold, there is forty ducats. Let me have a dram of poison..." Act 5 Scene 1 Lines 63-64
3: The letter, Queen Mab, and mask symbolize the theme "A persons destiny is determined by the stars" because these are what results in such a tragic ending. The letter, sent by Frair Lawrence, not being received is why Romeo assumed Juliet was dead. "Who bear my letter, then, to Romeo? I could not send it (here it is again)." Act 5 Scene 3 Lines 13-14. The mask is for the Capulet ball that Romeo crashed. He used a mask, just like everyone else did, and it is here that he met Juliet. "Now I'll tell you without asking. My master is the great rich Capulet, and, if you be not of the house of Montagues, I pray come and crush a cup of whine." Act 1 Scene 2 Lines 85-88. And lastly Queen Mab, who symbolizes the dream Romeo had about the Ball. Mercutio believes that Queen Mab, the queen of dreams, gave Romeo the dream he had in the beginning . His dream was that as a result of going to the ball someone will die. and as shown, it came true in the end. "I fear too early, for my mind mis gives some consequences yet hanging in the stars shall bitterly begin his fearful date with the night's revels, and expire the term of a despised life closed in my breast by some vile forfeit of untimely death." Act 1 Scene 4Lines 113-118 | A persons Destiny is determined by the stars
4: This picture conveys the theme of "One betrayal. leads to another" "...But cheifly to take thence from her dead finger a precious ring , a ring that I must use..." Act 5 Scene 3 Lines 30-31. Romeo gave this ring to Juliet when they got married. This shows betrayal for two reasons. One is that Romeo and Juliet knew they couldn't get marries but they did anyway and lied so that Juliet could get out of the house.. Two is that romeo lied and said that the ring was the reason he was going down to Juliet,s tomb. This leads to other betrayals like her fake death. | The vile of poison shows "One betrayal. leads to another" because Frair Lawrence gave this to Juliet to help her lie to her parents in order for her to be with Romeo. "Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distilling liquor drink thou off..." Act 4 Scene 1 Lines 95-96. This also leads to her fake death | The tomb represents the theme of "One betrayal. leads to another" because Juliet's death was, at first, a lie to her parents so that she could be with Romeo. The tomb. that was inherited from her ancestors, was also where Romeo killed himself. "Open the tomb; lay me with Juliet" Act 5 Scene 3 Line 73. This leads to Juliets real death. | The rope ladder displays "One betrayal. leads to another" because Juliet intended on sneaking Romeo into her room. This is betrayal because her parents dislike the Romeos family because of the feud so going behind there backs to do this is betraying her parents. "Within this hour my man shall be with thee and bring thee cords made like a tackled stair, which to the high topgallent of my joy." Act 2 Scene 4 Lines 191-193. This also leads to her lying to her parrents and her death. | One betrayal leads to another.
5: The Capulet and Montague crests symbolize all 3 themes. Given to both Romeo and Juliet by their feuding families, these show the differences between them and the feud that has been going on since before thy were born. This represents the theme of "Love conquers all" because it shows how two feuding families have children that fall in love which is ironic because of the condition of the families. Tis represents "One betrayal. leads to another" because of what Romeo and Juliet had to do to be together because of the differences in their families. And last but not least, this represents "A person's destiny is determined by the stars". Fate because it was this that bought Romeo and Juliet together and this is the reason they die which ends the feud between the Capulet's and Montague's. "Two households, both alike in dignity (in fair Verona, where we set our scene),From ancient grudge break to new mutiny..." Act 1 Scene 1 Lines 1-3. | Love, Fate, Betrayal

Wednesday, May 12, 2010
This one's gotta hurt. Earlier today, NARAL Pro-Choice America endorsed Joe Sestak over Arlen Specter. The endorsement comes with a $5,000 campaign contribution, but the real value may be in having president Nancy Keenan say this:
"Many Pennsylvanians are under the impression that Arlen Specter might be a reliable pro-choice voice, but his record says otherwise. Pennsylvanians deserve a senator who considers being pro-chioce a position of conviction, rather than a position of convenience."
While the release describes Specter as having been "once a consistent supporter of choice," it faults him for supporting Bush Administration Supreme Court nominees Samuel Alito and John Roberts.
"This race is at a critical juncture, with many primary voters still undecided," Keenan says. "We want pro-choice voters in the Democratic primary to know that, without question, Joe Sestak is the candidate who is best positioned to defeat an anti-chioce opponent in the November general election."
This shouldn't come as too big of a surprise: NARAL endorsed Specter's Democratic rival back in 2004, Joe Hoeffel, despite backing Specter in 1998. (Can anyone name Specter's Democratic rival that year without using Google? I sure couldn't.)
Specter, meanwhile, is getting support from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Which, as Greg Sargent points out, means the party is now spending to protect a former Republican against a longtime Democrat.
As for Sestak, he's launched a Web ad of his own, which makes a somewhat convoluted attempt at following Arlen Specter's convoluted career. The ad pairs footage of Barack Obama praising Specter with footage of Specter being backed by George Bush ... or saying he voted for John McCain. It shows Obama praising Specter for voting for the stimulus bill ... and follows that up with Rick Santorum praising Specter for backing the Bush tax cuts.
Things get a little muddled in there, but I guess that's the point.

India's PM Singh accused of being weak on China
New Delhi: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is facing attacks from the opposition for being too soft in trade and border disputes with China ahead of a visit to the world's second-biggest economy that comes months before a general election.
Narendra Modi, the prime ministerial candidate for the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, told an audience four days ago that Mr Singh's weakness had encouraged China's army to encroach on Indian territory. "We remained weak when we needed to be strong," Mr Modi said, referring to tensions along the 3,500-kilometre border shared by the world's two most populous countries, which account for a third of humanity.
Mr Modi's criticism signals a tougher line in relations with China that could stoke tensions if he manages to unseat Mr Singh's government in elections due by May. A military standoff in April marked the most serious incident between the nuclear-armed neighbours in a quarter of a century on the Himalayan border where India and China fought a brief war in 1962.
"A BJP prime minister would be stronger on China in terms of sovereignty and territorial issues," said Srikanth Kondapalli, a professor in Chinese Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. "They will build up military assets and increase infrastructure on the border. The Chinese won't like that, and there could be an initial dip in relations."
Trade Deficit
Mr Singh's three-day visit, the second for bilateral talks since he took power in 2004, will include meetings with counterparts Premier Li Keqiang and President Xi Jinping to discuss reducing border tensions, boosting trade and easing visa requirements. The leaders will discuss ways to increase commerce to a target of $US100 billion by 2015, according to India's Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh.
India has grown more reliant on China over the past decade, with two-way trade growing to $US66 billion last year to account for about 8.3 percent of the South Asian nation's total commerce, up from about 4.9 percent a decade ago. India's trade deficit with China increased to $US39 billion last year, climbing at about four times the pace of total commerce between the nations during the last 10 years, government statistics show.
"For Singh, this is the last lap," said C. Uday Bhaskar, a New Delhi-based analyst at the National Maritime Foundation, a research group that specialises in security affairs. "On the two main issues, security and the economy, he has had limited success negotiating with China."
Mr Singh hailed stable relations with China over his tenure for facilitating economic growth, according to an October 20 statement before he left New Delhi. He will travel to Beijing today after a stop in Moscow.
'Historical Issues'
"India and China have historical issues and there are areas of concern," Mr Singh said. "The two governments are addressing them with sincerity and maturity, without letting them affect the overall atmosphere of friendship and cooperation."
The two countries may reach an agreement to reduce military tensions that will probably require both armies to give notice to the other side when going on patrols and avoid tailing each other, according to a foreign ministry official with knowledge of the talks, who asked not be identified because he is not authorised to discuss the matter publicly.
In April, India alleged that Chinese troops had crossed into Indian-held territory, triggering a three-week escalation in tensions that ended with an agreement negotiated by army commanders. China denied any wrongdoing.
China's Attention
China would welcome an agreement to relax visa restrictions and plans to sign cooperation deals with India, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in Beijing on October 18. She did not provide details on the agreements.
Indian officials tend to pay more attention to China than vice versa, according to Li Mingjiang, associate professor at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore.
"Whenever China does something, such as developing new military technology or security policy, strategic observers in India think they are directed at them," he said. "Whereas the Chinese would argue they are aimed at the US."
To be sure, whatever is said on the campaign trail normally gets toned down once a leader is elected, said Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, a New Delhi-based analyst who co-authored a book on Indian politics.
"The two countries have had a love-hate relationship with each other," he said. "There is a growing realisation that even as China and India compete with each other, they will have to increasingly collaborate with each other. There is no other way forward."
The BJP has gained strength after picking Mr Modi as its prime ministerial candidate last month. It would win 162 of 543 seats up for grabs, compared with 102 for Mr Singh's Congress party, according to a poll released last week by C-voter polling agency, India TV and Times Now television.
While Chinese leaders will deal with whoever comes to power, they will probably face a stronger government if Mr Modi wins, according to G. Parthasarathy, a visiting professor at the New Delhi-based Centre for Policy Research who formerly served as a diplomat under both Congress and BJP-led governments.
"No government can be weaker on China than the present one," he said. "They are starting from a very low base."

Grasshopper sang in the field for Winter!
by Michelle, grade 4
This piece makes me wonder if "Winter" is a season or a person. Another thought, when I look at this I can see the entire paper as a fluffy field of white snow and the colors are representations of happiness.
Altering a text filled page for me is almost like a meditation. You absolutely have to slow down in order to find just the right words to compose just the right sentence. Now your mind conjures up an image, colors, lines and shapes to go with that sentence.
|She flung it.
Notice how this student uses the element of line to push her idea. The curved lines are not only in the round spiral but in the fabric as well; also notice the expression on the girl's face.
|Jack wished for a supper this night.
This student wanted it to look like "...those planes that carry a sign behind them".
(I think this student shows an amazing sense of space and color)
|The band wished for a good supper.
|left to right-
When Jack came down the chimney he heard big words from giants.
(notice the ear on the bottom left and how "big words" are represented with large colored dots)
The disappeared chimney. Hey Dad, the chimney disappeared.

Road accidents are a sad reality in Delhi and for once we have the government coming together with Delhi Street Art to do something about it. According to thisarticle in the Hindustan Times, NDMC has painted, at central Delhi's Rajaji Marg, a beautiful 3D zebra crossing that slows down cars and bikes to almost 30 kmph.
While it is quite amusing to pedestrians and commuters, it has also brought about a keen awareness of the problem at hand. NDMC Chairperson Naresh Kumar told HT, "We did not know how people would respond to such 3D pedestrian ways, but the response is overwhelming. Our aim is to make the NDMC area a people-friendly space and such measures will ensure safety for pedestrians as well as drivers."

Armor penetration is a parameter of a shell that characterizes its capability to pierce a ship's armor. A number of factors are considered in computing it: the shell's weight, its impact velocity, the ratio of caliber to armor thickness, incident angle, target durability, and many others. Long story short
" A shell's muzzle velocity is always certain. Nevertheless, it decreases as the projectile travels (namely, air drag significantly contributes to it along with a number of other factors), and its kinetic energy also drops
" As the firing range increases, you may notice that the shell's trajectory changes, similar to its impact angle.
Of course, you do not need to remember all these parameters during battle, nor are you expected to perform complex computations. As practice shows, it is all a matter of time and training. After only a couple of battles, players start to get the hang of the principles, and wisely choose their firing range depending on the layout of the battle.
A shell's incident angle yaws a bit to get more perpendicular to an armor surface if it approaches its target at an angle other than 90 degrees. This effect is well-known to all World of Tanks fans as "shell normalization."
Lots of ships have their armor belts mounted in a sloped manner. Therefore, hitting such a barrier means that that a shell needs to travel through a thicker layer of armor, one that significantly exceeds the nominal value mentioned in documentation.

Bean Trees
The Bird Plant
On her journey to self-discovery, Taylor Greer manages to overcome her weaknesses and start a new way of life and while traveling she obtains a small Indian child (whom she subsequently names Turtle) who would later prove to have a huge impact on the course of her life. Throughout the novel, The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver, one discovers Taylor and Turtle's process to obtain a better life: to escape, to seek a new way of life and to discover oneself by depending on one another. Symbols constantly present inside of the storyline appear as subtle details throughout the plot. Kingsolver uses subjects such as birds to represent Taylor and Turtle's situations and plants to symbolize growth and dependence. Throughout the novel, birds represent Taylor and more importantly Turtle's plights; as they grow, the birds used to represent them change as well. Shortly after Taylor takes Turtle under her wing, they come across a family of quail on their picnic and Taylor remarks "I supposed we could have honked and waved and it wouldn't have raised any more pandemonium than this poor mother already had to deal with … After a long minute or two the quail got her family herded off the road into some scraggly bushes" (129). Kingsolver makes a reference to Taylor and Turtle's relationship through the usage of the quail family as a symbol, as Taylor sympathizes with the Quail's motherhood and the burdens brought by her chicks or in Taylor's case, Turtle. This also gives insight towards Taylor's thoughts; since she originally had avoided early motherhood the chance encounter with Turtle provided a dilemma in a situation where she must throw away her previous plans. Taylor and Turtle go to the doctor's to find a clues of Turtle's past and as the doctor puts Turtle's x-rays on a window, Taylor sees across into a garden and thinks to herself " There was a cactus with bushy arms...

"Lending circles' an alternative to high-interest payday loans
Efforts to bolster freer markets and reduce regulations are not high on the list of priorities in Sacramento these days, which might explain why so few people attended a recent press conference by a Democratic senator who was pitching a bill to "remove regulatory barriers to nonprofit, small dollar lending."
The legislation (SB 896), by
For years, California legislators have been trying to "fix" this problem in the same way they address every problem – with more regulations and fees. Some legislators have tried, without success, to impose strict new limits on "payday lending" – those storefront operations that offer short-term loans at sky-high interest rates.
Even the lobbyist for some of these companies said in a Capitol hearing last year that, "I do feel bad that people have to go to the payday loan industry." But people use them because it's better than, say, relying on the neighborhood loan shark, who might come collect his cash with brass knuckles or a baseball bat.
Instead of trying to shut down less-than-ideal alternatives, Correa wants to expand the options that are available by limiting the regulatory hurdles that squelch lending opportunities for low-income people, especially in immigrant communities.
The legislation "would establish a licensing exemption within the California Finance Lenders Law (CFLL), which is intended to help nonprofit organizations that facilitate affordable, credit-building, small-dollar loans expand their lending presence throughout California," according to the Senate Committee on Banking and Financial Institution's backgrounder.
It's sponsored by Mission Asset Fund, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that helps poor people gain access to tiny loans by servicing "lending circles." In these circles, small groups of people contribute monthly amounts to a fund, and those dollars are then available to members of the group for no-interest loans on a rotating basis.
The broad concept of micro-lending has been around for ages and often in poorer nations. In one South American shantytown, residents dramatically upgraded their community after they gained access to small loans. But it can be used anywhere -- and the lending-circle approach is a unique way to offer unsecured loans for people without assets.
At the press event, Alicia Villanueva explained how she used small loans from these circles to reduce her tamale business' debts, increase tamale production and employ seven people. "The feeling is like freedom," she said. "You get a loan (from payday companies) and the interest kills you."
The Mission Asset Fund doesn't lend the money but works with credit agencies and backs the loans so that borrowers can develop a credit history. Its goal, director Jose Quinonez told me, is to "help people get into the financial mainstream." Banks offer a variety of affordable loan options, he explained, but his clients don't have the credit history to access them. The program is designed to help people boost their credit scores and become future bank customers.
California's lending law doesn't specifically address these types of unusual lending operations, and the lack of clarity has made it hard for the group to work with other nonprofits and expand across the state. These groups fear problems from regulators given the lack of legal direction.
The bill's goal is not only to provide regulatory certainty, but to reduce the costs and paperwork for those groups that want to become partners with the asset fund. A law passed last year expands a micro-loan pilot program that gives incentives to traditional lenders to offer small loans. Correa wants this option to flourish, also.
Too often, regulations try to stamp out something bad without considering that the bad option is less-bad than other choices.
"I don't try to limit people's alternatives," Correa said. "You try to give people more options. Payday is an option. Many people use it. This is another option."
It's hard to argue with that.

Strategies For Executives Seeking an Industry Change Without Breaking the Bank
Changing industrial sectors can throw open a broader variety of opportunities pertaining to executives who wish to reinvigorate a new stalled occupation, seek to mix their knowledge and interests in a very new world, are stuck in a very dying/declining industry, have minimal options of their desired geographic spot, or are depending the greater outsourcing involving operations international. According to your study with the New York-based Relationship of Account manager Search Specialists, nearly 50% in the executives surveyed are seeking brighter horizons by simply considering a business change.
Although product or service and sector knowledge are crucial to a number of companies using some industries, it's possible to make an excellent industry transition by having a focused, systematic process-without the need to reduce your current compensation amount. Unless a situation requires industry-specific techie knowledge as well as contacts, you can make a clear case that could illustrate your current ability to achieve a brand-new industry. The truth is, some business employers relax his or her search conditions as hiring covers, opening in the door for you to industry changes.
The secret should be to move to your related discipline. The more detailed you stay for a industry, the increased the chance of getting a comparable earnings because you will find there's shorter ramp-up interval for learning the modern business. Such factors because complexity in the business, amount of product collections and buyer groups, culture along with size associated with an organization, and likeness in promoting or making methods also be the cause in precisely how readily you'll be able to transfer your experience to a whole new environment.
Go with a sector that may be aligned for a current sector. Your transition is going to be easier in case you choose a business with much the same focus for a current sector. For case in point: if you happen to be in your transportation sector, moving through the railroads industry to truck and shipping, airlines, transport or air flow courier solutions, would certainly be a more tightly aligned cross over. If you happen to be in financing, related groups include professional banks, insurance agencies, savings along with loans, as well as government insurance plan.

Economic Development and the Forex Industry

However you'll find ways that they the sector can increase the economic prospects in the country showcased. First coming from all you receive the industry in times where they might glance at the provision in the conduit pertaining to cross national boundaries trade.

We will need to ensure we are disciplined in terms that we take care of the requirements in the elements that will drive the. That is often a challenging place but one through which we could rejoice in case we glance at the way that this organization in the same can be arranged. It is rather difficult to consider these troubles without taking the correct approach on the system.

Monday Song Lyric
Juan Non-Volokh's Sunday Song Lyric has started showcasing libertarian musicians. Not a bad idea. Last week, he looked at some Oingo Boingo Danny Elfman lyrics. This week he is showcasing Rush. Ugh. While I can appreciate that Rush might be a libertarian band, I still don't like them. As He Who Shall Not Be Named has pointed out … the musicianship is fine, too fine, and they end up missing soul. That and Geddy Lee's ear pitching voice is enough to drive me crazy. Eee Gads!!!!! Its like fingernails on a chalkboard.
I, of course, would argue (and have) that the Grateful Dead, purveyors of the great American modern traveling minstrel road show were (and still are) the torchbearers of libertarianism within popular culture. While social conservatives hated their drug fueled concert spectacles, economic conservative had to admire the ultimate free market atmosphere (as long as you weren't hawking trademarked items TOOO conspicuously) that followed wherever the band went. You wanted something and you could ALWAYS find someone selling it, with the price fluctuating as the market demanded and bartering with something of equal or greater value (tickets!!!!) always a possibility. Heck, it also showed the extent of free market, libertarian, charitable giving as people would always dispense with free, "miracle", tickets for the great unwashed masses just, or shortly after, the shows would start.
Still, most fans did not even realize they were taking part in the greatest libertarian experiment ever. One look around the parking lot found people hawking the wares of whatever liberal interest group of the day was striking out. Often times, this involved the environmental prostitutes at Greenpeace and other such organizations I despise. However, for the most part, the band avoided these connections and preferred to let their "music do the talking."
In doing so, when they weren't noodling around in a drug induced fog, the music was a celebration of a time remembered, a style from before. As direct descendants of the Beat writers of San Francisco, they immediately picked up on a lot of the themes, specially of the joy of cross country travel, that Jack Kerouac wrote about and Neil Cassady (who was both the main character in one of the bands most popular songs, That's It For The Other One and the shares a name with another, Cassidy) inspired. With the exception of the psychedelic space trips, the Dead's most memorable songs were all glorious celebrations of the road and travel, whether it is through the considerable number of railroad songs, cowboy jingles, or simply Truckin' tunes, a Dead show promised to harken back to the time of Steinbeck and before. These songs all looked out at an expansive world, where anything was possible and life lived to the fullest evolved directly from nature. No government, just one person striking out on their own, with no support other than that they create.
Many of these songs, especially the ones sang by Bobby Weir came to us from the gifted mind of the noted libertarian John Perry Barlow. John, the Thomas Jefferson of Cyberspace (A William Gibson term he first applied to the internet in 1990) is the cofounder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a prolific speaker and writer as well as blogger.
One of my favorite Barlow-Weir song has long been Black Throated Wind. A fairly regular song for the Dead in the mid 70s, it was dropped from their usual rotation until it made a striking comeback (with partially revised lyrics) at a great show in Landover Maryland at the Cap Center that I was lucky enough to attend. Narrated by a hitchhiker coming home at the end of his journey along the interstates of America, it fits squarely within the realm of the popular stories from the road that these authors mastered. It's a haunting and powerful, shuffling number, that exhibits, in parts, as much angst as you are likely to see from the Dead. I strongly recommend the version available on Dicks Picks #8
Black-Throated Wind
Words by John Perry Barlow ; music by Bob Weir
Bringing me down,
I'm running aground
Blind in the light of the interstate cars.
Passing me by,
The busses and semis,
Plunging like stones from a slingshot on Mars.
But I'm here by the road,
Bound to the load
That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars .
Alone with the rush of the drivers who won't pick me up,
The highway, the moon, the clouds, and the stars.
The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in
With its words of a life where nothing is new.
Ah, Mother American Night , I'm lost from the light.
Ohhh, I'm drowning in you.
I left St. Louis, the City of Blues ,
In the midst of a storm I'd rather forget.
I tried to pretend it came to an end
Cause you weren't the woman I thought I once met.
But I can't deny that times have gone by
When I never had doubts or thoughts of regret
And I was a man when all this began
Who wouldn't think twice about being there yet.
The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in.
And it speaks of a life that passes like dew.
It's forced me to see that you've done better by me,
Better by me than I've done by you.
What's to be found, racing around,
You carry your pain wherever you go.
Full of the blues and trying to lose
You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know.
So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies
Please help them to learn as well as to see
Capture a glance and make it a dance
Of looking at you looking at me.
The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in
With its words of a lie that could almost be true.
Ah, Mother American Night, here comes the light.
I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do
Goin back home that's what I'm gonna do
Turnin' around,
That's what I'm gonna do
'Cause you've done better by me
Than I've done by you. . .

Has the Grand Old Party completely lost its bearings? In Comment this week, Jeffrey Frank compares the Republican Presidential candidates' behavior in this cycle with elections past:
Though the McCarthys and the Jenners were given time on the podium, they knew their place—and it was behind the Eisenhowers and the Tafts. The Party wasn't one in which leading Presidential candidates facing an unprecedented deficit would promise not to raise taxes, or would promote "free enterprise," as Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich claim to do, while attacking a competitor for enriching himself by practicing tooth-and-claw capitalism. (Supporters of Perry and Gingrich produced and distributed the "independent" documentary "When Mitt Romney Came to Town," which portrays him lurking in the shadows as a sort of Ted Bundy-like serial killer of the job market.) The Party has long had an attachment to social issues, but no serious Presidential candidate has been quite so unsparing about the private behavior of others as the man Tony Soprano called "Senator Sanitorium."
Will any of the Republicans, if elected, be able to govern the whole United States? Now that Jon Huntsman's no longer in the running, are there any left in the race who have any interest in doing so? Read the full Comment, share your thoughts below, and join a live chat with Frank on Wednesday, at 3 P.M. E.T.

The mechanics of a flexible carve out trust
We often are asked to explain what a 'carve-out trust is. This is a trust which separates out different interests (or rights), some of which are generally held absolutely for the settlor of the trust and some of which are held on settlement for the beneficiaries (where the settlor is excluded from benefitting).
The interests or rights held for the settlor are not regarded as 'settled property' under the IHT definition [IHTA 1984 s43] and therefore are not subject to the relevant property regime, where exit charges and 10 year charges would apply.
Under a carve-out trust the gift with reservation of benefit rules do not apply to the settlement, because the settlor is specifically excluded from benefiting.
Carve-out trusts are not new, and HMRC are fully aware of the mechanics of these types of trust. The existence of carve-outs have been challenged in court, an example being Ingram v Inland Revenue where the executors of Lady Ingram successfully argued the existence of a carve-out (a lease) which avoided the reservation of benefit rules applying [Finance Act 1986 s102].
When the Pre-owned asset tax was introduced in 2005, the fact the mechanics of a carve-out trust exclude the settlor from benefiting from the settlement – meant the POAT charge did not apply to these types of trust. Also in more recent developments, the Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Schemes (DOTAS) consultation lists such schemes as excepted from disclosure.
The Lifestyle Trust
The Lifestyle Trust, launched early 2016, is written as a 'carve-out trust' where the trust 'carves-out' the right for the settlor to access 'Policy Funds' at certain dates in the future.
We are often asked whether the Lifestyle Trust is a Reversionary Interest Trust. A reversionary Interest is defined in legislation under IHTA 1984 s47 - it is an interest that reverts back to the settlor of the trust once a beneficiary's (or a group of beneficiaries') interest has come to an end. A carve-out trust operates differently, however, in that it excludes certain rights from the gift made from outset.
Both reversionary interest trusts and carve-out trusts rely on the valuation principles under IHTA 1984 s160 – 'the price which the property might reasonably be expected to fetch if sold in the open market at that time' - to value what is subject to IHT on death of the settlor.
The initial gift, is there a discount?
As described above, the Lifestyle Trust allows the settlor to specify access to certain Policy Funds (groups of individual policies within an investment bond) at future dates. The rest of the trust fund is held on discretionary trust for certain classes of beneficiaries including spouse, children, grandchildren etc.
The value of the gift into the discretionary trust is the premium paid to the investment bond (net of any adviser fees) minus the value of the benefit carved out. The value of the right to the Policy Funds is based on what a purchaser would pay on the open market if sold. So the question is 'what would you pay for access to Policy Funds at a future date?' If we look at two key considerations here:
The first one is in effect the position of a DGT however, as the trustees have the overriding power to appoint benefits out of the trust fund then the value of that entitlement is negligible as this appointment could defeat the benefit carved out.
What about Gift with Reservation (GWR) rules?
As the Policy Funds are carved out absolutely at commencement they are not included within the settlement (the discretionary trust) for Inheritance Tax purposes and are therefore outside the scope of the GWR provisions. HMRC manuals confirm this approach under ihtm44112.
What happens when a policy fund reaches a vesting date?
The Policy Fund carved out for the vesting date in question now has a value (that of the policies contained within the Policy Fund). This value is now in the estate of the settlor as it is held on trust for them absolutely (a bare trust). This is not an exit from the discretionary trust as the carved out access to the trust fund never formed part of the settlement (as described above) so no exit charge will apply.
The trustees can then:
What if a vesting date is postponed?
The settlor can defer the date they can access a Policy Fund as long as this is done prior to the vesting date outlined in the original trust deed (or a date changed in a previous deferral).
The deferral is a loss to the estate. However, the same valuation principle applies as at inception. As the Policy Fund has no market value prior to a vesting date the loss to the estate and therefore transfer of value is negligible.
Trustees' duties
Trustees have a duty of care to beneficiaries to act fairly between them, to consider their interests and needs, to ensure trustees interests do not conflict with those of the beneficiaries and to provide information and accounts to them upon request.
The settlor has an absolute right to the Policy Funds under the trust once the vesting date is met – this is the purpose of the carve-out. Therefore, at outset when the trustees are appointed the Trust Fund consists of the trust property less the carved out property. The settlor is not a beneficiary under the discretionary trust.
The trustees should give consideration to the settlor's rights, and examples of this are that the settlor's consent should be received by the trustees before surrendering the bond, or before income tax is paid from the bond – as that could fetter the settlor's rights.
Carve-out trusts appear in numerous forms; this includes DGTs, flexible reversionary trusts and split trusts for critical illness and life assurance policies. There is a long history associated with these so advisers should feel confident in their acceptance by HMRC.

A powerful solar flare
This image, taken on Oct. 28, 2003, shows the most powerful solar flare ever recorded up until this date. During this time, the sun experienced the most massive space storm in at least a century and a half.
A similar storm took place in 1859, causing what experts call the perfect space storm. "Within hours, telegraph wires in both the United States and Europe spontaneously shorted out, causing numerous fires," NASA writes. During the 1859 solar storm, the aurora borealis or northern lights, could be seen as far south as Rome.

While I do really enjoy comments from real people, the spam comments also hold a special place in my heart. Here are some of my favorites that I've gotten recently.
Life's not all beer and skittles.
Well, yeah. You can't do skittle shots with beer.
Hello, you used to write great, but the last few posts have been kinda boring? I miss your great writings. Past few posts are just a little out of track! Come on!
I miss my great writings too, but unfortunately they are spending the holidays in the Hamptons and they've asked me not to contact them again after I insisted on wearing white after Labor Day. My boring writings had no such qualms.
I like to party, not look articles up online. You made it happen.
I like your style.
Please teach the rest of these internet hooligans how to write and research!
Seriously, and thank you for noticing how much research I put into my posts. I should also mention that this comment was made on my post Alcohol is for Adults.
The genius store called, they're running out of you.
Ha! I haven't heard that one before!
I could watch Schindler's List and still be happy after reading this.
Wow. Did you hear that? I take the edge off of dead and starving children. Wait till I tell my mom!
Free knowledge like this doesn't just help, it promotes democracy. Thank you.
That's good to know because I was actually thinking of starting my own country.
Reading this makes my decisions easier than taking candy from a baby.
Babies shouldn't have candy anyway.
You have more useful info than the British had colonies pre-WWII.
This has to be my favorite spam comment ever and I think I'm going to make it into a t-shirt or something.

As mid-winter sometimes gets us down, it is beneficial to reflect on the little gifts and graces we can take for granted. Some of my winter joys are:
- Sitting in the winter sun and enjoying its warmth penetrating my body.
- Good, deep sleep coming easier.
- Vigorous activities sustained for longer, defying the coldness.
- Time to enjoy soups, roasts and casseroles, especially around a fire with friends.
There is an inherent grace and goodness in life which can be found and appreciated. Gratitude is good for your soul and is music in our Creator's ears. Common grace is a theological concept which includes all of the simple pleasures we enjoy:
'Yet (God) did things to prove he is real: He shows kindness to you. He gives you rain from heaven and crops at the right times. He gives you food and fills your hearts with joy.'
'The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.' [From the Bible, Acts 14:17 (ICB) and Psalm 15:9 (NIV)]
Note the good to 'all'. There are no limitations here concerning religious alliances – God's grace extends to the whole of creation. May our graciousness also extend to all creatures, especially our own kind, that we may all benefit from the warmth and wholeness of a loving community.

Wow, I feel bad for not posting in sooo long. But at the same time I have literally been feeling BAD. For those of you who don't know Chris and I are expecting baby number four!! We are thrilled, although with out giving to much yucky detail the toilet and I have gotten to know each other WAY to well in my opinion. I head to Singapore in a week for my ultrasound but Chris and I have decided that we are not going to be finding out what this munchikin is. We already have clothes and decor for either (and pretty much settled on a few names) so we thought we would let it be a fun surprise. Now we will see if this can remain unknown as it requires me to immedately tell ever doctor and nurse I see "we're not finding out!" and I did have one friend who had a doctor abroad who thought that was ridiculous and went a head and told her anyway! Liam has dubbed the baby "baby Pocus" I said "Like Hocus Pocus?" "Yup!" He also asked Chris and I "Will this baby be nice? And not pull my hair and bite me?" Um..... Abby has been going through a bit of a rough spot and I think the boys are beginning to notice. In other big news we closed on and now own our first home! We are desperate to see it but won't for 3 more months ughhhhhh. It is in our beloved Williamsburg (I love that our kids have a place to be "from") and I will fly out to see it in July, then promptly sign it with a rental company, boo. We also found out today where our next posting will be and we are still in complete shock, fabulous, wonderful, could not be more excited shock. Chris will return to DC for seven months in the New Year to learn French so that we can all head to Paris France!!! Chris woke me up this morning at 6am by saying Bonjour and I basically feel out of the bed screaming. Of course Paris won't be nearly as fun if we don't have visitors!!!! As if I had to sell it, but just so you know we will be a 1.15 train ride to London, flights round trip to Scotland and Ireland are 50 bucks and well, basically everywhere in Europe is a quick cheap train ride. I am already trying to talk Chris into going to Transylvania for one of the halloweens ha! So there you have it! Over load of news and no pictures, rare for me ha!

Divisoria (or Divi to its patrons) is a district at the heart of Manila, comprised of malls and markets that sell virtually everything you need at dirt-cheap prices. Considered as every bargain hunter's shopping mecca, Divisoria is the place to go when you're in need of houseware, clothes, accessories, costumes, toys, food, textile, wedding gowns, and all sorts of supplies imaginable.
The district is big, busy, and buzzing with activity. But despite its notoriety for its tight alleys and hellish human traffic, Filipinos still enjoy trooping to Divisoria especially during the holiday season. Why? Simply because items in Divisoria are cheaper than their counterparts sold elsewhere in the metro. For instance, a fashion ring priced at P300 in a mall boutique can be bought at Divisoria for only P35. You can even haggle further and arrive at a lower price if you know the art of "tawad" and/or are buying in bulk or wholesale (6 items is the standard). No wonder Divisoria is a haven for entrepreneurs and cheapskate consumers.
So if you're really keen on finding the best bargain, hyper like an Energizer bunny, and patient as a saint, we suggest you to try shopping at Philippines' largest flea market. Below is a map and a guide on how to conquer Divisoria.
Places of Interest in Divisoria
168 Mall
Located along Sta. Elena St., Binondo, Manila
When people say that they are going to Divisoria, they likely mean that they will shop in 168 Mall. This huge and air-conditioned shopping complex is a favorite of many because almost everything they need is here.
Tops for as low as P100 are sold in 168
At the lower ground floor is supermarket. First and second floors are for general items you can buy in retail or wholesale. Third floor is for fashionistas, while the fourth level is for toys and electronics. At the fifth floor is a food center where you can take a break from shopping. And, lastly, the sixth floor is reserved for Health, Beauty and Wellness enthusiasts who frequent spas and salons.
One of our favorite stores here is Uncle Sam's Warehouse (4th level), which sells toys and knick knacks from the States at budget-friendly prices. Our best finds include Dogpound Skateboards (P850), Family Guy Trivia or Dare Board Game (P350), Texas Hold'em Poker Set (P350), Hot Wheels cars (P150), and First Act Electric Guitar (P3,800).
Toys for the big boys: skates and electric guitar for less!
Divisoria Mall
Located along Sto. Cristo St., Tondo, Manila
Older than 168, Divisoria Mall has three floors and a basement packed with clothing, shoes, Christmas decorations, stationery, stickers, invitations, wallets, calculators, pens, umbrellas, flashlights, kitchen utensils, gardening tools, and toys.
We found these assorted costume hats in Dug 51 of Divisoria Mall at P100/each- retail and P65/each for wholesale (6 pcs).
Other malls: Tutuban Center, 999 Mall, and 11/88 Mall (formerly Meisic Mall)
These malls are less crowded albeit not much different from 168 and Divisoria Mall. The same haggling and wholesale shopping rules also apply when you visit these malls.
Lucky Chinatown Mall
Located along Reina Regente St., Binondo, Manila
In stark contrast to its neighbors, Lucky Chinatown Mall offers mid to high-end brands and products for Filipino-Chinese community residing nearby.
Located along Recto Avenue
Benisons is a low-level complex enjoyed most by engaged couples and would-be debutantes. Stalls here sell gowns for all occasions.
"Hands off plizzz!"
Tabora and Ylaya Streets
Head to Tabora St. if you're looking for ribbons, beads, gift wrappers, bottles, strings, sand, crystals, paint, and Christmas decors. The arts and crafts hub of Divisoria, Tabora's stalls offer items such as wicker baskets, raffia bags, glittery paper flowers, ribbons, wooden beads, papier-mâché masks and colored abaca ropes.
Ellen and Dodong Souvenir and Mask offer imported and Philippine made items which will pique anyone's ghoulish fancy. They have on display deformed masks which would make a great center piece for your parties.
Marlene's Made-To-Order Costumes creates costumes for children and adults. She has a catalog for you to choose from, or if you have something else in mind, just bring the design over to her and she'll see what she can do for you. She also sells butterfly and fairy wings for both children and adults to enjoy.
Meanwhile, along Ylaya Street is Family Feather Shop (Pasilio W-49 Yangco Market, 785 Ylaya Street), which sells ready-to-wear and made-to-order costumes. Also at the Yangco Market are shops which sell crowns and tiaras.
Best time to visit Divisoria
If you want to avoid heavy traffic, be there as early as 7:00 am. As of our last visit this November, human traffic in and outside the malls is still bearable during weekday mornings. Days on which Pacquiao has a fight is also a great time to visit Divisoria.
So what if you miss his fight? At least you didn't miss this polka dot Paquiao briefs!
How to get to Divisoria
By car
Human and jeepney traffic make it nearly impossible for cars to enter the Divisoria area especially during the holiday season (October to January). If you really need to bring your car, head to the 168 Mall as early as 7:00AM in order to secure a parking slot (from Reigna Regente Street, enter Felipe Street). Another option is to park along the side streets of Chinatown, just by the Divisoria perimeter.
By trains
Ride the LRT 1 or LRT 2 lines to Doroteo Jose/ Recto station. Ride a Divisoria-bound jeepney. Get off at Tutuban Mall or at Recto corner Reina Regente. Or...
Ride the PNR train. Get off at Tutuban Center.
By jeepney

Diann Mills is one of my most favorite writers. I would recommend her to anyone.
Kept your attention right to the end had no idea where the story was going. Look forward to reading the other books in this series.
DiAnn Mills has created a real page turner. There's just no good place to put this one down. While the characters are well developed, it's the suspense in this plot driven story that will make you want to follow up on the rest in the series.
DiAnn Mills' has created a series that is gripping and fascinating without the excessive violence and sexual overtones that are often included in most suspense novels. Her characters are complex and compelling with stories that unfold to keep the reader anxious to turn the page! I hope these FBI: Houston stories keep coming as I can't wait for the next!
