Dr Richard Beaven is Principal Research Fellow within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
Richard Beaven is a Principal Research Fellow within the University's Waste Management Research Group, and specialises in landfill related research.
Having studied geology at Oxford University he obtained an MSc in hydrogeology from University College London in 1984 before working for 12 years as a hydrogeologist with Cleanaway Ltd (now Veolia), a large UK based Waste Management Company.
In 1989 he proposed and gained financial backing from Cleanaway Ltd and the Department of the Environment to run two major research programmes to investigate fundamental properties of waste materials. He designed the internationally unique Pitsea waste compression cell (see separate Tab). His research has generated data on the hydrogeological and polluting properties of refuse which has made a significant contribution to the ongoing debate on sustainable landfill design.
In 1996 he furthered his research career by joining the University of Southampton part time, and also started his own independent Consultancy. He is based in Essex from where he co-ordinates research at the University's off-campus large-scale waste research facility at Pitsea, Essex.
He completed his PhD on the hydrogeology of wastes in the year 2000, studying controls over the flow of water in landfills.
Over the last 15 years he has maintained strong links with Industry and has worked on a variety of major research projects funded by EPSRC, Government Agencies (including the Environment Agency and defra) and Industry.

AlphaMarket Perspectives
on Nasdaq TV
It's an exciting time to be an active manager. Passive ETFs have been stealing the spotlight as of late, however, current economic shifts are creating an ideal landscape for active management.
Watch the video on the left to hear Michael Simon explain why 2018 could be a great year for active managers.

Sir Terry Frost, born in Leamington Spa, in 1915, was one of the most prominent artists of the St Ives School. Despite attending evening classes in art when he was sixteen, until the outbreak of war Frost worked at the manufacturing company Armstrong Whitworth & Co. He was captured in 1941, and sent to a prison camp where he befriended Adrian Heath. In the camp, he made early, crude woodcuts from material that he scrounged, and improvised tools. When Frost returned to England, he attended St Ives School of Art in 1946, under its founder, Leonard Fuller. He then studied at Camberwell School of Art (1947-51; helped by Heath), after long discussion with his wife, Kathleen, whom he had married in 1945. He was taught at Camberwell by Coldstream, who he disliked, and Pasmore, who he found inspirational. Frost's work had initially been figurative, but, in this period, it became purely abstract.
On the advice of Heath, Frost settled in St Ives in 1950, and became part of an influential group of artists, taking over Studio Number 4, next to Ben Nicholson's. He painted the first of his significant Walk Along the Quay series in this year, inspired by the boats that were moored in the harbour.
In 1951, Frost was enlisted to help his neighbour, Barbara Hepworth, work on 'Contrapuntal Forms', the sculpture that she was to show at the Festival of Britain. The time away from his own studio and work in an unfamiliar medium spurred his later painted constructions and collages. He also met fellow artists Sam Francis and Roger Hilton. The following year, he had his first proper solo exhibition, at the Leicester Galleries. He also became a member of The London Group in 1957. This marked the start of greater recognition, both in Britain and abroad—in 1959, the Tate bought his work Khaki and Lemon (1956), and in 1960 he had a solo show in New York, where he was introduced to prominent Abstract Expressionists. These meetings prompted him to work on larger canvases. He also began to focus more on colour alone, and how it becomes a presence within the work. He developed this in a sculptural form in the 1970s, filling canvas tubes with polystyrene balls, using them to suggest that colour was spilling and twisting from the confines of conventional artworks.
From 1952, Frost taught and lectured at various art colleges, including Bath, Coventry, Reading, and Leeds, something he continued to do until his retirement from the University of Reading in 1981. His teaching crucically gave him access to materials, printing presses, and other tools. He also taught overseas, in Canada, Norway, Sweden, Cyprus, and California. These posts obviously involved a significant amount of travel, and in 1974 Frost moved to Newlyn, Cornwall, for good.
In 1992 Frost was elected a Royal Academician, and was knighted in 1998. He made a last trip to Venice with John Hoyland in 2001, before he died in 2003, leaving five sons and a daughter. His work remains extremely popular, and its abstract exploration of forms, line, and colour is still fresh and exciting. Shapes, such as the semicircles that interested Ben Nicholson, were a recurring motif throughout Frost's career. However, each incarnation is innovative and engaging, his paintings invested with movement and a dynamic treatment of form.

Confusion Assessment Method (CAM).17 The CAM is a screening instrument for delirium consisting of four clinical criteria: (1) acute onset and fluctuating course, (2) inattention, (3) disorganized thinking, and (4) altered level of consciousness. For a person to be considered delirious, both the first and the second criteria and either the third or the fourth criterion have to be present. The CAM has a high interobserver reliability (κ= 0.8–1.0), a sensitivity of 94–100%, and a specificity of 90–95%.
Modified Mini-Mental State Examination (3MS).18 This extended measure of general cognition was developed to overcome shortcomings of the traditional Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, specifically its ceiling effects and narrow range of possible scores.19 The 3MS has additional items providing enhanced measures of global cognitive function and can result in a maximum total score of 100 points.
Trail Making Test.20 This test is an executive measure of sequencing and cognitive flexibility.
Trails A requires the subject to rapidly sequence a straightforward series.
Trails B is a more difficult cognitive flexibility task requiring the subject to follow a sequential pattern while shifting cognitive sets and reflects executive functioning, although other cognitive abilities, such as psychomotor speed and visual scanning, are necessary for successful completion of the task.21 The scoring for this test is the time in seconds required for completion of the test. The test is discontinued at 300 s if the subject is not able to complete it in that period of time.22
Digit Symbol Substitution subtest23 of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–III. This executive processing speed task requires rapid sequencing of digits and symbols. Specifically, the subject is given a key grid of numbers and matching symbols, with a test grid with numbers and empty boxes. The subject fills in as many of the empty boxes with the symbol that corresponds to the printed numbers in 120 s. The score is the number of correct number–symbol matches.
Symbol Search subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–III.23 This subtest is another measure of executive processing speed involving rapid target identification. In this subtest, each item contains two target abstract line drawings. Subjects must rapidly scan a corresponding series of five line drawings and make a judgment as to whether either of the original targets is repeated among the five. The score is the number correct within the given time of 120 s.
Geriatric Depression Score–Short Form (GDS-SF).24 This questionnaire screens for the presence and degree of depression in adults. The GDS-SF consists of 15 questions and has been shown to have a robust correlation with the Beck Depression Inventory and to be a valid screening tool for depression in the preoperative setting.25
Numerical rating scale for pain.26 Zero indicates no pain, and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain.

Ansar Abbasi's 'Islamic Warriors'Sep 27th, 2011 | By admin | Category: Jang, The News
According to Ansar Abbasi's column in The News, recent accusations of American officials claiming that ISI has supported the Haqqani netork of militants is 'a blessing in disguise' because this has united the nation and given the opportunity to end all extremism and terrorism. Let's set aside for a moment the ridiculous claim that somehow the statements of Admiral Mullen are going to end militancy and extremism in Pakistan. What we are more concerned about is something else that Abbasi says.
Ansar Abbasi rejoices that the US "is receiving dead bodies of its troops in Afghanistan more than before" and praises Taliban militants by saying "over a hundred thousands of US-led Nato troops, equipped with the modern weapons, have been reduced like rats by merely thousands of Islamic warriors within Afghanistan". Again, passing over for a moment the shamefulness of rejoicing in death of anyone, we should consider just who are these "Islamic warriors" that receive Abbasi's praise.
The Afghan Taliban has shocked independent human rights groups by using children as suicide bombers to attack NATO forces.
A tactic pioneered by al-Qaida but almost unheard of in Afghanistan until 2005, suicide bombing is becoming more popular with insurgents attempting to meet the massively intensified Nato campaign with their own surge of violence.
In one recent case a 12-year-old boy in Barmal district in Pakitika province, which borders Pakistan, killed four civilians and wounded many more when he detonated a vest full of explosives in a bazaar.
"They are relying more and more on children," said Nader Nadery, from the country's Independent Human Rights Commission, who thought the Taliban were struggling to recruit enough adults. "When somebody runs out of one tool they go to use the second one."
Children are not the only ones killed and mutilated by Taliban. Women, too, are treated worse than farm animals. When 18-year-old Aisha tried to escape the abuse of her husband and his family, she was captured by Taliban and her face butchered to set an example to other women not to dare try to live with an ounce of dignity.
When Malim Abdul Habib became headmaster of Shaikh Mata Baba High School that educated girls, the Taliban took more than just his nose and ears.
"Four armed Taliban came to my uncle's house at 1am," said his nephew Abdullah Hakim, 25. "They told him he had to go with them. When he refused they stabbed him in the stomach in the yard and then cut off his head."
Taliban militants forced Habib's wife and children to stand and watch as they butchered him in front of their eyes.
These are the "Islamic Warriors" that Ansar Abbasi prays will defeat the US-led NATO forces. But what Islam is this that butchers women and children in cold blood? What Islam is this that forces a man's wife and children to watch in horror as he is beheaded before their very eyes?
This question must not only be asked of Ansar Abbasi who is entitled to be a Taliban sympathiser if this is his belief, but it must also be asked of Jang Group which chooses to pay Ansar Abbasi to write columns that term the killers of women and children as "Islamic warriors" and then publishes them for the masses to read. Editors and publishers of The News may think that adding the disclaimer of "Viewpoint" is enough to absolve them of any responsibility, but their Ansar Abbasi is not merely an individual offering his 'viewpoint' rather he is paid by Jang Group to write these pieces. With freedom comes media responsibility and accountability. If Jang Group does not support this position, why are they paying for it?

Tenugui mumbling vol.25 – Music has no boundary at the Knitting factoryMonday, January 12th, 2009
I went to?"IN THE SUN Vol.4″ live?concert in the Knitting Factory other day. One of our wuhao friend Shusuke is a member of UZUHI and he played his drum there.

In China, homosexuality isn't illegal, but homosexuals are routinely persecuted by police and arrested for "hooliganism". The film focuses on a young gay writer A-Lan who, being attracted to a young policeman, manages to have himself interrogated for a whole night. His life-story which he tells during the interrogation reflects the general repression of the Chinese society. The policeman's attitude shifts from the initial revulsion to fascination and, finally, to attraction.

This is my aspiring author's critical examination of the late Robert Jordan's Eye of the World. My goal is to analyse the novel to see how Robert Jordan has created this story; what works, and what doesn't. I have massive respect for Jordan.
Important caveats:
- Robert Jordan was a professional, backed by a team of skillful professionals at Tor. I am an amateur; and all thoughts and opinions should be weighted accordingly.
- Our writing styles are different; that doesn't mean one is better than the other – just different (see point 1).
- Our genres are different. Robert Jordan is very much EPIC fantasy (travelogue, heavy on description), whereas I've discovered my writing in comparison is more adventure fantasy, if that tag can be applied loosely. My writing has more pace and less depth.
- The Eye of the World was first published in 1990. That's 27 years ago and standards and styles change over time. (e.g. the beginning of the Lord of the Rings)
- This will contain vast amounts of spoilers; be warned.
- It is my opinion; feel free to agree or disagree. (I'm interested in hear how your opinion might differ).
- I'm not sure at what age group this book was initially targeted. By the age of the protagonists, I suspect perhaps Young Adult. I do not squeeze into that demographic by any means of contortion.
- I've read (most of) this series before (2-3 times). That means my perspective is polluted: I know what is going to happen, which is both good and bad. I will see things a first-time-through reader might miss, but I also can't evaluate how much of a surprise or plot twist things are because I know they're coming.

Sony Announces Super-Thin DSC-TX55 Digital Camera With OLED Touch Screen
Sony just announced the newest model in its Cyber-shot DSC-T series of digital cameras. The Cyber-Shot DSC-TX55 is a high-end, 16-megapixel snapshot camera with several notable features.
The DSC-TX55 can capture both 16-megapixel still photos and 1080i/60 video. More interestingly, the camera can cake 12-megapixel photos while taking 1080i/60 video, a seldom-seen feature. It packs a 5x optical zoom lens into its 12.2mm-thick frame, less than half an inch thick not counting the sliding lens cover. Because it's so small, the DSC-TX55 can only accept the "micro" varieties of flash memory: Memory Stick Micro or microSD/SDHC cards.
The back of the DSX-TX500 features a 3.3-inch OLED touch screen, Through which the camera's multiple scene modes can be selected. The DSC-TX55 comes with several unique modes, including a 3D Still Image mode that captures a simulated 3D picture by taking multiple photos, and an Intelligent Sweep Panorama with High Resolution mode that can record a 42.9-megapixel panorama shot by automatically stitching multiple photos together.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX55 will retail for $350 when it ships in September, and will be available in silver, black, red, and violet versions.

Can trousers and shorts really be combined into the same garment? Good question. The answer is yes! But, is it comfortable? Can you feel the leg zipper when you're walking or sitting? Well, it is definitely comfortable and no, you can't feel the zipper. What you've got is versatility and lots of storage. Anything wrong with that? Just take my word for it, they are GREAT!

Scientists have only a few weeks to block a patent that could have serious implications for couples seeking IVF treatments in Europe. This is the stark warning from researchers writing in the journal Reproductive BioMedicine Online.
They state that the granting of a patent for a technique known as time-lapsed microscopy (TLM), by the European Patent Office in January, could result in significant increases in the cost of IVF treatments. According to the journal, a test based on the technique – which involves measuring the first three cell cycles in a human embryo – could make dramatic improvements in IVF success. Such a test could cost £750.
Many biologists believe it is wrong to try to patent something that is a natural process. However, a patent taken out by Stanford University and the biotechnology company Auxogyn was granted by the European Patent Office in January. Interested parties were then given nine months to oppose it. That deadline is 23 October.
"We are extremely concerned about this and have now passed on copies of our journal's paper to UK medical organisations – including the British Medical Association, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists – in the hope they will take action," said Professor Martin Johnson, the journal's editor.
"TLM is a very promising technique that could greatly improve implantation success rates. The European Patent Office should not have granted this patent in the first place, but unfortunately it has, and its validity must be challenged before 23 October by professional societies representing clinicians, scientists and patients."
The use of cell-cycle timing data to make dramatic improvements in IVF success rates was recently outlined in the UK. Researchers say that by studying the time that embryos take to develop, they can pick the best ones for implanting into the womb.
To do this, thousands of pictures are taken during the first days of an IVF embryo's life. Implantation success rates could triple because of this work, researchers add.
A furore over patents – sought in the US for the TLM technique by Auxogyn – erupted in July when Jacques Cohen, one of the world's leading embryologists, attacked Stanford and Auxogyn over their "outrageous" request to be given an American patent for cell-cycle timing technologies.
"Nature should not be owned by anyone," said Cohen, an embryologist based at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre in Washington. In an earlier edition of Reproductive BioMedicine Online, he wrote: "Claiming aspects of natural processes in embryos as property is an outrageous attempt to over-commercialise every step of an already expensive medical procedure."
However, Auxogyn believes it is wrong to suggest that the patent claims a natural process. The patent describes a method of assessing the development of embryos, rather than embryonic development itself.
According to Lissa Goldstein of Auxogyn, the technique "has the potential to minimise unsuccessful IVF treatments, and will therefore reduce patients' stress and costs".
The row over cell-cycle timing comes in the wake of the furore created by Myriad Genetics, which has taken out patents on human genes that are used to forecast cancer risks in women.
In the US, activists including the American Civil Liberties Union argue that it is immoral to claim ownership of humanity's shared genetic heritage. They are calling for the US supreme court to ban Myriad's patents.

Break out the mayo. Who would have thought it would play a role in the oil spill cleanup in the Gulf? Mystic Aquarium veterinarian Dr. Allison Tuttle is turning to the condiment to help care for oily sea turtles.
Tuttle cleans the dirty turtles by coating them with vegetable oil and mayonnaise. She told the Day of New London that the mixture "bonds with the fuel oil and makes it easier to remove it with dish liquid."
"It definitely affects you on a personal level. Your heart goes out to them. But it's busy and you don't have time to focus on that," she told the paper.
Tuttle traveled to New Orleans last month to help the Audubon Nature Institute, which was treating sea turtles rescued from the spill.
Together they cared for more than 100 turtles. The tricky part was not only cleaning off the shells, but also finding a way to move the toxic oil through the animals' digestive system.
They tried activated charcoal but to no avail. In the end, it was a mixture of cod liver oil and mayonnaise, pumped by tube, into their tiny stomachs that did the trick.
After being cleaned, the turtles were moved to a separate area to continue their recovery.
In August, Tuttle plans to return to New Orleans where she hopes to help out once again. The turtles are now being kept at the Audubon Society but Tuttle told the Day, the Mystic Aquarium is ready to house some of them if needed.
The turtles can not be released back into the Gulf because of the oil.
"It's a tough situation. You make the best of it as you can and try to help as many turtles as you can," she told the paper, adding that scientists are gaining valuable knowledge about how to treat turtles if there is a future spill.

JOHANNESBURG, Aug 22 (Reuters) - South African food producer Bid Corporation Ltd (Bidcorp) reported a 9.1 percent rise in annual earnings on Wednesday, supported by positive trading performance in all regions in which the global foodservice business operates.
Bidcorp reported headline earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of 1,286 cents in the year ended June from 1,179 cents in the prior year.
Headline EPS is the most widely watched profit gauge in South Africa and strips out certain one-off items.
Bidcorp, which supplies hotels, restaurants and industrial caterers, also said net revenue rose 8 percent to 119.4 billion rand ($8.16 billion). ($1 = 14.6363 rand) (Reporting by Nqobile Dludla Editing by Tiisetso Motsoeneng)

OGUNQUIT, Maine — Local farmers are contributing to a returning Seacoast event hosted by Great Works Regional Land Trust on Sunday, August 3, at the land trust's Beach Plum Farm in Ogunquit.Once again this year, award-winning Chef Evan Hennessey will create a tasting menu from local farms.
A dozen local farms are donating products —with such familiar favorites as corn, potatoes, goat cheese and beets with some not so familiar like bison, pork bellies and beef liver. A few of the items are being purchased. Many farmers are coming to converse with guests and help highlight the value of local foods.
Great Works Regional Land Trust, which serves Berwick, South Berwick, North Berwick, Eliot, Wells and Ogunquit and the greater Mount Agamenticus region, has long protected local farm lands. Since its grass-roots origins in 1986, the land trust has helped to conserve almost 5,300 acres of land, including 2,000 acres of farm lands. The organization is working hard to conserve even more.
Some of the protected farmland, such as the Beach Plum Farm preserve with 60 vibrant community gardens, is owned by Great Works. Most of the other farmlands are protected by conservation easements, which stipulate they will remain available as farmland and open space forever.
Often farmers donate a generous percentage of the easement value; and Great Works raises the rest from grants and donations by towns, individuals and businesses. For example, just this April, voters in the town of North Berwick approved $20,000 to help Great Works with the upcoming conservation of two farms. The farm owners involved are donating substantially through bargain sales.
"With our history of conserving farmlands, Great Works is pleased to welcome local farmers to this important fundraiser. Along with the many other contributors, they help us to celebrate local farms and foods," said Pat Robinson, chair of the Great Works Development Committee and a Board member.
Chef Hennessey, as well as participating pastry chefs, vintners, brewers and the creator of the event's signature cocktail share Great Works' commitment to local food sources. Many will be at the event as well, pouring and serving—happy to talk about their offerings.
"The opportunity to have all of these people together in one place really aids in closing the gap between farmer and consumer. If we can use a platform such as this to educate and inform people about our great history and how to ensure the future, then we are truly on the right path," said Hennessey.
Sponsor of the event include Wyman's of Maine, Kennebunk Savings, Sevigney-Lyons Insurance, Chase & Hamlyn, D.F. Richard, South Berwick Pharmacy, Civil Consultants, Deb DeColfmacker/Edward Jones Investments, Attar Engineering, Amore Breakfast/Amore Café, Beachmere Inn, Lassel Architects, Liquid Dreams Surf Shop, Perkins & Perkins, and Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce.
To purchase tickets, $75 all inclusive, visitwww.gwrlt.org, phone 207-646-3604 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow the event and Great Works on Facebookor visit the office at Beach Plum Farm, 610 Main Street, Route 1, Ogunquit, Maine (207) 646-3604.
The farms and their offerings:
— Baer's Best of Lover's Brook Farm, South Berwick/Berwick: beans.
— Bison Project, Berwick: bison for the carving station.
— Bondgarden Farm, Eliot: beef for sliders.
— Brandmoore Farm, Rollinsford: pork belly for the canapés with corn cakes.

Moira Presbyterian Church's new building was officially opened and dedicated last week.
The service was led by the minister, the Rev Howard Gilpin, who gave the call to worship and welcomed the congregation and guests who included Sir Jeffrey Donaldson MP and the Rev Dr Frank Sellar, Moderator of the General Assembly.
Mrs Gertrude Jamison presided at the organ and together with the church choir and praise group, led the congregational hymns.
Rev Gilpin, who has served as minister of the congregation since 2001, said: "The new church building is wonderful and features very modern facilities such as a coffee bar, crèche, dedicated meeting room and other offices.
"Over 500 people attended the opening and dedication service, and the response to the new building has been very positive and encouraging.
"The old church building was inadequate for the needs of the congregation and the new premises will serve us well as we look to the future.
"In historical terms this is one of the older congregations of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, dating back to the late 17th Century.
"The new church is the fifth meeting house in the history of the congregation; the previous one had been built in 1829."
In his address, Rev Dr Frank Sellar said: "While it's a marvellous achievement to construct a new building, it's even more vital to live faithful, vibrant Christ-like lives".
Meanwhile, Ulster Unionist Councillor Alexander Redpath has welcomed the official opening of the church's impressive new building as "a significant investment in the local community."
Congratulating Rev Howard Gilpin and the congregation of Moira Presbyterian Church on the successful development project, Cllr Redpath said: "I had a wonderful night at the opening of the new church building for Moira Presbyterian. I would like to congratulate the Minister, Kirk Session and Church Committee for all their hard work and leadership delivering this project. The work involved delivering a new church building project cannot be overestimated. This new building represents a significant investment in our community which will be used and enjoyed by hundreds of people."

Hi everyone!
Today is a very exciting day for Whimsy Stamps as it's the debut release of the Wee Stamps for Whimsy Stamps rubber stamps! Woo-hoo! Whimsy will be releasing Sylvia Zet's adorable wee collection exclusively in Whimsy rubber from this month onwards - how awesome is that! :)
Whimsy Stamps will be releasing six Wee Stamps for Whimsy Stamps rubber stamps this month on 5 October:
The Whimsy Stamps DT are going to be sharing some fabulous sneak peeks of these darling stamps over the next 3 days in the lead up to their release on Wednesday 5 October! We will be holding a fantastic BLOG HOP on 5 October to celebrate the new release, so be sure to join us then as we will be giving away the entire release to one lucky hopper as well as having a few secret prize draws scattered throughout the hop.
For my card today I have used the darling WINTER FAIRY stamp. I just adore Christmas, and couldn't wait to start making some Christmas cards with my new Echo Park Seasons Greetings 12x12 collection kit that I bought from My Mum's Craft Shop. I also used my brand new Spellbinders Nestabilites Labels 22 (again from MMSC) - I love this new shape! I added polar white flower soft to all the 'fluffy' parts of her outfit and some SU Dazzling Diamonds fine glitter to her wings, wand and the snowy ground. I also added some gorgeous Prima Alencon 20mm Lace (available here at MMSC) to embellish the corners. In a perfect world I would have added some poinsettia flowers instead of roses and cherry blossoms, but I don't have any - not even a suitable punch! So I have promised myself that this year I will buy a poinsettia die - just haven't decided if it's going to be Spellbinders or Marianne Creatables yet!
To take a peek at today's amazing sneak peek projects, please visit the Whimsy Stamps DT listed below...

I've very much appreciated the wisdom and insight of Dinty W. Moore for a long time. His books The Truth of the Matter and Crafting the Personal Essay are standard texts or references for all the classes I teach. So when I heard he had a new book coming out, I was excited. Then, when I saw he was looking for reviewers or places to guest blog, I was thrilled. His newest book The Mindful Writer employs quotes by other writers as a way of exploring how the practice of Buddhism overlays with the practice of writing. It is one of those books that I have put on my shelf as a reference and a reminder of what it is to be a writer. Now, I give you, Dinty, in his own words.
My first introduction to the concept of mindfulness came to me through the books of the Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. His message is so simple: if you want to promote peace, he said, be peaceful as you walk across the room; if you want to promote love, love yourself and those around you; if you want to reach enlightenment, be entirely focused on the present moment, even if merely washing the dinner dishes.
It seems at first a contradiction to think that anyone can be writing and not mindful, not "in the moment." Writing after all is an act of extreme concentration.
The cartoon image of the writer with his forehead wrinkled deep in thought, trying to choose the perfect word, is commonplace for good reason. Writing feels like that. But while many of us deliberate hard on word choice and sentence construction, we often remain inattentive to the deeper issues of why we are writing.
Let me just speak for myself: there are times that I'm worrying too much about what magazine will publish my work, or if my work will be as well received as that of a writer who is gaining wide acclaim, and so on and so forth.
Buddhists talk about "right intention," another name for having the proper motive. Doing something—writing for instance—not for money, not for fame, not for lording your achievements over others, but for the joy of it, for the discovery that comes from fresh insight, and to see where it takes you, is not just the proper way to act, but it is what will best sustain you.
In the context of writing, mindfulness means seeing the words that are before you, hearing the possibilities in your mind, not succumbing to the thousands of other willing and ready distractions. More than that, mindfulness means being aware of why you want to write, who you are writing for, and how to balance your desires for recognition with the demands of clear-headedness and honesty.
Finally, mindfulness includes a conscientious and thorough consideration of who you are as a writer, where you are in your life, what you are feeling, and what is inside of you that wants (or needs) to be written.
Keep these in mind, and your writing will never let you down.
Dinty W. Moore is author of numerous books, including The Mindful Writer: Noble Truths of the Writing Life, Crafting the Personal Essay: A Guide for Writing and Publishing Creative Nonfiction, and the memoir Between Panic & Desire, winner of the Grub Street Nonfiction Book Prize.

Microsoft Plans New Cloud Certifications
Everything seems to be all about the cloud these days. Well, at least those things that aren't about tablets. While there are many benefits and advantages to be found with cloud-based servers, applications, and storage, embracing the cloud also comes with unique challenges and hurdles.
Whether you're developing software and applications for the cloud, or managing the cloud infrastructure and servers the software and applications will run on, it helps to have specific knowledge and skills related to the cloud.
A post from Microsoft's TechNet site explains, "Cloud technology creates new opportunities and job roles, but it also impacts current ones. Over the next year, we will introduce new certifications on Microsoft cloud services and will update many of our current certifications to include cloud-related skills. We'll provide training for these cloud computing offerings through Official Microsoft Learning Products, including Microsoft Press books, Microsoft Official Courses, and Official Microsoft E-Learning."

Music video by Sarah McLachlan performing Angel. (C) 1997 Arista Records, Inc.
"Angel" is a song by Sarah McLachlan that originally appeared on her 1997 album Surfacing. As McLachlan explained on VH1 Storytellers, the song is about the Smashing Pumpkins touring keyboard player Jonathan Melvoin, who overdosed on heroin and died in 1996. McLachlan explained that there's nothing constant when you are on the road; everything becomes the same.

The world just lost a visionary in Steve Jobs today. At 56 years of age, Jobs battled numerous health problems and lost the battle on cancer. He will be missed.
no images were found
From a technology perspective, Apple's mantra has been that "Apple innovates and everyone else imitates." I find this to be true to an extent. During the turn of the 21st Century, Apple's iMacs were the first ones to lack a Floppy drive, relying instead on CDs and USB Keys. The iPhone was the first "really" successful Smart Phone in the market. The iPod redefined what an MP3 Player was. The Macbook Air was the first portable computer that lacked a CD drive and promoted everything being digitally downloaded. The iCloud came shortly after. I can go on and on.
At the same time, one cannot ignore Apple's imitation of a GUI for an operating system after Steve Jobs took a tour at Xerox labs, where Xerox had the first "real" GUI system. If Steve Jobs never went on that fateful tour, Xerox would be the industry leader in desktop computers and not Apple. Or, how about where Steve Jobs tried to make money off a computer building concept that Steve Wozniak had come up with.
Nevertheless, the point is, we just lost someone who's visionary skills may be found lacking in others for years to come.
Signing off. Stay hungry, stay foolish.

ATLANTA — Gwen Tucker stood outside the Georgia Dome with a blazing red boa slung around her No. 7 jersey.
ATLANTA — Gwen Tucker stood outside the Georgia Dome with a blazing red boa slung around her No. 7 jersey.
She wasn't out of place.
In between small bands of dueling protesters — some there to support Michael Vick, others to heckle him — plenty of Atlanta Falcons fans turned out at the first home preseason game wearing the disgraced quarterback's jersey.
Tucker was one of them, still clinging to hope that Vick may some day return to the Falcons after he serves his time for dogfighting.
"I don't see any reason why he shouldn't," she said, sipping on a Martini & Rossi. "He's an electrifying player. He did bring a hell of a lot of excitement to this place. It's not going to be the same."
About 9½ hours before the Falcons kicked off against the Cincinnati Bengals, Vick walked into a Virginia courtroom to plead guilty to charges that likely will send him to prison for at least a year.
In between the plea hearing and the game, Falcons owner Arthur Blank summoned the media to his palatial corporate office to reveal he won't be cutting Vick immediately, though it's clear that's would have been the preferred choice if not for the salary-cap implications.
"It would be a short-term fix at the expense of our long-term success," Blank said.
So, while Vick awaits his December sentencing and the Falcons try to recoup the $22 million in bonus money he got as part of his record $130 million contract, the team and its fans got a sampling of life without Vick.
There were plenty of empty seats at the 70,000-seat Georgia Dome, which appeared to be about half-full at kickoff.
"It's going to have a different vibe," said John Fox, who wore a jersey honoring former Falcons quarterback Steve Bartkowski. "It's not going to be as exciting. I don't feel the excitement that I used to, and I've been a Falcons fan for 32 years."
Fox owns a No. 7 jersey, and he actually thought of wearing it to the game with the word "Con" taped in front of Vick's name — for "Con-Vick." But the Falcons fan ditched that plan, partly because he was impressed with the quarterback's televised apology shortly after the guilty plea.
"He actually showed contrition and I felt pretty bad for him,' Fox said. "Yeah, he did something stupid and ridiculous, but he did accept responsibility."
For the most part, it seemed like just another game at "Falcons Landing," a carnival-like area set up next to the Georgia Dome. Kids lined up to toss footballs through a target, while others went deep for passes spit out by a machine. A deejay sent out tunes over giant speakers, ranging from the Beatles' "Twist and Shout" to "Hey Ya" by local duo made good OutKast.
Nearby, at the entrance to a parking garage, about a dozen protesters stood behind metal barriers, waving signs such as "Ban Vick Permanently" and "Bad Newz Vick Shames Atlanta" at passing cars. Across the street, a group of about 10 Vick supporters barked out a much different sentiment, aided by a couple of megaphones.
"We love Mike! We love Mike!"
"We're going to miss Mike! We're going to miss Mike!"
"We all make mistakes! We all make mistakes!"
Things got a bit heated when a man walked toward Vick's supporters, hurling insults.
"Michael Vick is a liar," the man said, pointing his finger for emphasis. "He's a sociopath."
A policeman quickly stepped in and sent the man away. The pro-Vick group marched off in a different direction.
There was a smattering of claps when Vick's replacement, Joey Harrington, trotted out in front of the home folks for the first time. He was sacked on his very first snap, but bounced back to complete all six passes in the opening quarter.
The fans roared when Harrington hooked up with Adam Jennings on a 28-yard touchdown that gave the Falcons an early lead. Watching from his luxury box, Blank gave a thumbs-up.
"I think we're going to win a lot of football games this year," the owner said. "I think we're going to surprise a lot of people this year."
Blank, who once pushed Vick onto the field in a wheelchair after he broke his leg in a preseason game, shrugged off critics who say he coddled the quarterback and refused to recognize more subtle signs of trouble.
"I can say to you without any hesitation that if we had any idea, any inkling that this was going on, any sense of it, we would have confronted it and dealt with it immediately in the most appropriate manner," Blank said. "Only he knows why he did what he did. At the end of the day, he put himself in this position. The responsibility of it rests on his shoulders."
Vick was always a polarizing figure in Atlanta, attracting plenty of critics who said his brilliant running ability masked deficiencies in the passing game.
Adam Johnson, who attended the first preseason game wearing John Abraham's No. 55 jersey, looked forward to Harrington's more conventional style at quarterback.
"I never liked Vick anyway," Johnson said. "I didn't think he was a good quarterback."
Vick was suspended indefinitely by the NFL, though he vowed to redeem himself if given the chance. It will be up to commissioner Roger Goodell to decide if one of the league's most dazzling players ever suits up again.
"Oh, he'll probably play again. He's Michael Vick," Johnson said. "But I'll tell you this: He'll never play with the Falcons again."
AP Sports Writer Charles Odum contributed to this report.

text: WHY, HTC??!! WHY MUST YOU DESTROY A GREAT PHONE WITH THE WORST POWER BUTTON PLACEMENT IN HISTORY??!! You guys remember that one person in high school you knew would have been perfect for you if only for that one little flaw they had; be it their teeth, nose, height or whatever? That's how i feel about this phone. It's fast, beautiful and perfect in every way, except for that one little flaw: THE POWER BUTTON!!! Why would they put a power button ON TOP of an enormous phone and not, say, on the side where your thumb and index finger is? You better have a giant hand of you hope to use it single-handedly. The rest of us are left awkwardly clutching the top half of the phone, feeling for a button that's FLUSHED INTO to the phone. Good luck feeling for it in your pocket or gloves on, and if you got a case on, forget it. Also, why would they make it the ONLY way to turn the phone on? That button's gonna get destroyed in a year or so, and with my luck, probably after the warranty expires. No home button option? No screen tap option? Nope. I've tried some of the p-sensor apps available, but none seems to work well with the One. P-sensor range is too small less sensitive than the S4. If anybody got a way around using the power button I'd love to hear it.

Last week I sliced my finger pretty bad while cutting up some apples. Basically, I took off a good part of my nail and some of the underneath. Not fun. But thankfully, not life-threatening! 🙂
It did, however, make me wonder how on earth I was going to wash my hair one-handed. Already washing my hair is one of my most loathed tasks. It's not so much the washing it that I mind; it's the drying it. You see, I have naturally curly hair, which needs moisture. It's also pretty fine. One problem with those two things is, I need some sort of product: oil, conditioner, whatever. But since my hair is fine, even one extra drop of oil can make my hair stringy and flat. Of course, if I use a drop less, it can be frizz city.
Also, I'm lazy. Pulling out the diffuser, fluffing up my hair as it dries, blech. I'm lazy!
You can see that the idea of washing it one-handed due to my injured finger and then having to go through all was not my idea of a good time.
So when Connie suggested I use that as an excuse to get my hair washed and dried at a salon, I was all "YEEEESSSS!!! BEST IDEA EVER!" Immediately after work, I went to the salon and got it washed and blown out. And voila! I had straight hair for a couple days.
I looked tired as heck, but blame that on crying (oh, the trauma of slicing your finger and having it bleed for what seemed like FOREVER) and not sleeping so great for a couple days ("OMG, what if I had cut my finger off?!").
But getting my hair done was definitely a nice consolation prize. 🙂
2 responses to "Friday fun"
🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed it. the other suggestion would be go 'no-poo' and simply rinse your hair out. You won't like how it feels wet after a couple of days, but you'll be surprised how quickly it dries and how easy it styles..

The Shine Programme proactively drives the building of positive and respectful relationships within our school through our four values of Respect/ Whakaauta, Integrity/Tapatahi, Resilience/Manawaroa and Creativity/Waihanga-tanga
Our students are encouraged to be the best that they can be, not just with classroom work but also as good citizens. This means that we want them to aim high, be persevering, honest and responsible.
We want students to show respect for themselves, others and the environment. We seek to build strong relationships with our much-valued and diverse community.
The following are the agreed core values and beliefs that underpin the 'Shine' Programme at Avondale Primary School:
- expected behaviours are realistic and achievable;
- we provide a safe, caring and stimulating environment;
- we accentuate positive, quality relationships;
- consequences are clearly defined and students make choices knowing what these consequences are;
- students and teachers have rights and responsibilities based on respect and fairness;
- there is an effective partnership between family, school and community; and
- communication is based on courtesy, co-operation and common sense.
To build a culture of respect for self and others we expect these relationships at Avondale Primary School:
- respect and consideration for all adults and pupils;
- care and respect of our own and others' belongings;
- the use of respectful and polite language;
- keeping our hands and feet to ourselves;
- keeping our environment clean;
- playing safely; and
- fair play.
These expectations form the cornerstone of respectful behaviours at our school. The school understands that by being proactive and focusing on positive behaviours, we increase the likelihood of respectful relationships being developed.
- Positive, supportive and respectful input from parents or members of our community will be recognised and acknowledged in newsletters and other publications, at school functions and during day-to-day interactions.
- Staff who model respectful relationships will be acknowledged as important role models.
- Students who act in a respectful manner will receive positive feedback and recognition within the classroom, at school assemblies and other functions, and in forms of communication such as newsletters and the web page.
Our image of a successful learner:
The image we share of a successful future learner is a student with a strong sense of values and personal identity, confident to take the risks necessary to continue learning.
We want our students to be equipped not only with the foundation skills of literacy and numeracy, but also with a range of future-oriented attributes, including confidence with information and communication technology.
The learning experiences the school provides, often based around our school values and virtues, need to ensure students keep this image in mind. We believe that helping students realise that having faith in their own ability will be the best guarantee for them to achieve future success.
We value:
- Positive relationships
- Acceptance of cultural diversity
- Recognition of individual differences
- Respect for self, others and property
- Continual improvement
- Life-long learning

Suspicious man causes brief stir at York inn
October 04, 2007 6:00 AM
by Dave Choate
YORK, Maine — Police said a suspicious man who left a strange object in an outdoor ashtray at the Stage Neck Inn turned out to be harmless.
York Police Sgt. Brian Curtin said the object was a mirror, partly obscured by leaves the man kept placing on top of it. The man was dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt and was behaving in a very suspicious manner, Curtin said.
Officers considered calling in a state trooper and bomb sniffing dog but quickly discovered that the mirror was harmless. The man was found wandering around the loading dock at the inn and was transported to York Hospital for observation.

The stage neck - isn't that where a lot of snobby New Yorkers go for vacation but then complain about how remote the place is?
I was standing in the lobby there once and a New Yorker was complaining to the front desk folks about poor cell reception and that the town of York should build a Cell tower on the cliffs near by.

Who Will (and Won't) Fly at Flight Night
The Eagles held a short, non-contact practice Thursday morning at Lehigh University as they prepared for their second annual Flight Night scrimmage at Lincoln Financial Field Thursday night.
Flight Night, an open event for fans raises money for the Eagles Youth Partnership, features many of the Birds including Stewart Bradley. It was at last year's Flight Night that Bradley tore an ACL, ending his season.
Bradley is not concerned about a repeat injury, telling us "I'm not superstitious or nervous about it at all."
But some Birds won't be in uniform at the Linc.
Fans won't see the Eagles top two receivers tonight. DeSean Jackson is out with a lower back injury and Jeremy Maclin is sidelined with a bone bruise on his left knee. Jackson did spend part of the morning running on a side practice field alongside cornerback Asante Samuel. Samuel has a hamstring injury.
Also not participating at Flight Night: running back Mike Bell (hamstring), defensive tackle Antonio Dixon (concussion), cornerback Macho Harris (hamstring), tight end Martin Rucker (hamstring) and center A.Q. Shipley (ankle). Defensive end Victor Abiamiri, guard Todd Herremans and center Jamaal Jackson remain on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list.
Flight Night festivities kick off at 7 p.m.

Age of Conan Stuff
Hey everyone. I'm writing this to clarify some things about AoC. Currently I am a level 63 Stygian Herald of Xotli in Legends on the US PvE server named Thog. I'm writing this mini review type thing to tell people about AoC's strong points and flaws.
I want to get something out of the way VERY quickly. AoC does not in the slightest way resemble that piece of crap game called Guild Wars. Guild Wars is not an MMO, I don't care what you say. It is just as much an MMO as a lobby for an FPS. Guild Wars is pure junk. In AoC you will come across quite a few loading screens, very rarely do you actually find yourself in a solo instance that isn't accessible to anybody and everybody that decides to go there. The world is not even nearly seamless, like WoW or LotRO, but again, you very very rarely find yourself in a situation that other plays cannot join in on. The only exception to this I have seen as of Level 63 is the Vila quests in the Noble District of Old Tarantia, where you cannot even bring party members with you. The way AoC handles this "instancing" crap that people think is so bad is like this, for example, you may have 100 players in Tortage, perhaps at 101 a new instance of Tortage will be open and from there on all players entering the zone will go to instance #2 rather than #1. If your party members are in #1 you will join #1 upon zoning in regardless of capacity. It is actually a pretty good system, and theoretically prevents a zone from getting overpopulated. The exception to this system is in the Border Kingdoms, where I am quite sure there is no limit, unless there is a siege battle going on. Not once did I feel I was in a single player game, the game feels just as much like an MMO as WoW or LotRO did.
Onto the graphics. They are just awesome. They really had alot of very talented artists doing their modeling and texture work, this game without a doubt has the best graphics of any MMO to date. It could use quite a bit of optimization, and hopefully we will see some in the future.
The sound, much like the graphics are better than any MMO I have played, they did an excellent job with the sound, from the music to the sound effects it's really great. I think of it as Crysis is to graphics as Age of Conan is to sound, provided you have the hardware to support it.
Leveling. From levels 1-20 you have way more quests than you need to level, from levels 20-30 you have a good amount of quests, no grinding necessary. From level 30-38 it is still pretty good. 38-40 is a bit of a dry spot, they could use some more quests for sure. 40-50 is pretty good. 55 is where you say goodbye to your beautiful quest driven experience and say hello to Asian grinder. If any of you have played this Korean MMO called Perfect World think of level 35+ there, you get like 1 quest per level and the rest of it is grinding. In AoC it isn't quite at that level, you get like 3-4 quests per level, but there is a hell of alot of grinding, I really would never expect this level of grinding from a Western MMO. I just ground out level 62 and I really did not have a single quest for the entire level, I hope for Funcom's sake they get their Quest Developer's working like crazy to make up for the huge deficiency from 55-??(Guessing it won't get better at all) I'm really just happy that grinding isn't quite as boring as in other MMO's, because the combat at level 63 is still quite refreshing compared to what I'm used to and it's still alot of fun getting into a group of 6 and grinding out a level by doing huge pulls.
The community is decent, like all communities it has its bad apples, you really cannot get away from that. I hear the PvP server's communities are really, really horrible however the PvE servers seem quite good as of now.
To be totally honest it seems like everything can be broken after level 20 is broken. Guild cities? Broken. Respeccing? Broken. Classes? Many of them were broken, some have been fixed. Quests? Many are broken. The Pyramid in Khopshef Province? Broken. That Princess in SotBS? Broken. There is something wrong with just about everything that can have something wrong.
Nonetheless, the game has massive potential. Despite its many flaws(and there are alot)it is keeping my interest and is truly a fun game with many new ideas that should be a big hit in the future. If you cannot put up with the amount of bugs currently in the game you should probably wait 3-5 months, because with some polish this game is sure to be a big hit.
