I found randomly found this tag on WordPress
the other day a few weeks ago (I kept rescheduling this post) – original post here – and it looked really fun. I've kind of been into these things lately, so I hope you don't hate them. Because I'm going to keep doing the ones I like. Here is the "Would You Rather?" book tag:
Would you rather read trilogies or stand-alones?
If I have to choose, right now I'd say stand-alone novels. Honestly, I think my answer would have been different a few months ago. But lately, between grad school, blogging, and finding new books I want to read, I've been pretty overwhelmed with the amount of reading I have to do, and I kind of like just being done after one book.
Would you rather read only male or female authors?
Both? This is such a hard question. To be completely honest, I tend to gravitate towards male authors, but I also have been making an effort to read more women and minority writers lately. Nope. It's been ten minutes and I still can't choose – I'm moving on.
Would you rather shop at Barnes & Noble or Amazon?
I'm an Amazon addict. Books at a discount in two days without having to leave my house? Done.
Would you rather books were made into TV shows or movies?
It depends on the book. TV shows can include more parts of the book, obviously because they're longer, but, unless it's Game of Thrones, movies are almost always done on a grander scale, which I'm partial to. I'm going with movies.
Would you rather read only 5 pages per day or 5 books per week?
By far the easiest question! 5 books a week, hands-down. I've done it before (I once read all seven Harry Potter novels in three days), and I'm really trying to get into that pace again. Last month, I read twenty-seven books, which is at least five books a week. And it was amazing.
Would you rather be a professional author or reviewer?
Author. I love reading, and I do enjoy reviewing books, but I can read a lot without having to write reviews. And I've always wanted to be an author.
Would you rather be a librarian or a book seller?
I have a dream of owning a bookshop with a cat that sells tea and pastries in the back. One day. So, book seller.
Would you rather read only your favourite genre or every genre but your favourite?
I'm not sure I could name a favorite genre. I like a lot of different things. So I guess I'd pick every genre but my favorite, because at least then I'd be able to read a variety of things. I think sticking to one genre could get very boring, even if it is your favorite.
Would you rather read only e-books or physical books?
Nothing will ever beat physical books in my mind. I've been reading a lot of ebooks lately because either I got them for really cheap on iBooks, for free on Kindle Unlimited, or they were sent as ARCs or review copies. And, while they've almost all been amazing books, it has been killing my eyes. This is why I had to get glasses.
That was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Feel free to answer any of the questions down in the comments or post this tag on your own blog!

It's time for the PTI September Blog Hop...are you playing along?
I love the theme this month...wreaths!!!
No, not your typical wreath. I wanted to go with a whispy feather-like style. Hope I achieved that look.
For this card I used rustic cream cardstock, The Sweet Life stamp set, Snowflake Flurries stamp set and Lovely layers stamp set, all PTI. The embossing strip is from Cuttlebug. The inks are Color Box lavender, olive pastel and moss green, PTI classic kraft. The sequins are from Neat & Tangled stamps. The tiny bud is Recollections. The white flower centers are from Michaels ( they kind of look like q tips!)
For the heart wreath card I used white rustic cardstock, Lovely Layers stamp set and Mat Stack 2 stamp set. The twine and inks, classic kraft and berry sorbet are also PTI. Sequins are Neat & Tangled.
I had so much fun...I can't wait to see what everyone has created...more inspiration!
Thanks for stopping by!

GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) is the nation's largest homosexual advocacy group focused entirely on reaching public school students as young as kindergarten age.
- Its Diversity Statement explains that GLSEN is opposed to "heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia" and "other forms of oppression" in the public schools.
- Translated into practical action, this means that GLSEN uses curricula, books and other campus-wide programs and initiatives to familiarize students with the idea that homosexual, bisexual and transgender behavior (including cross-dressing and sex changes) are normal and worthy of being embraced.
- Through its National Board of Directors, GLSEN has connections to some of America's most deep-pocketed corporations and lobby groups, including the National Education Association (NEA), Wells Fargo & Co., Target, 20th Century Fox and more.
- Companies listed as financial sponsors of GLSEN include The Walt Disney Company, HBO, NBA, Delta, McDonalds, DreamWorks, and Goldman Sachs.
The Founder, Kevin Jennings
GLSEN is the brainchild of its founder, Kevin Jennings, who lead the organization for about 17 years. To understand GLSEN's mission and driving principles, it helps to review the vision and goals of its creator.
- As the Executive Director of GLSEN, Jennings wrote the foreword to a book called Queering Elementary Education.Chapter titles include, "Locating a Place for Gay and Lesbian Themes in Elementary …" and "'It's Okay to be Gay': Interrupting Straight Thinking in the English Classroom."
- "I'll admit that, in a world populated by the likes of Jesse Helms and Gary Bauer and Pat Buchanan, we can't blame our schools for all of the prejudice we see visited upon queer people," Jennings wrote in the foreword. "Children learn prejudice from many sources— their families, the media, religious institutions—the list could go on. But the fact remains that schools are the place where children spend most of their time than anywhere else between the ages of five and eighteen…"
- Clearly, Jennings wanted to use GLSEN to get messages into the public schools that would counter what he considered to be "homophobic" messages children received from families and churches.
- In fact, early in his career with GLSEN, Jennings publicly stated his intent to use the word "safety" as a "calling card" to further the organization's goals in schools. (Hard copy of "Together, For a Change: Lessons from the Organizing of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Teachers Network" by Kevin Jennings.)
- Jennings' original mission is still reflected in GLSEN's recommended materials today. For instance, guides that GLSEN publishes for educators and students make it clear it that it wants homosexual and transgender themes to be "fully integrated into curricula across a variety of subject areas and grade levels" (GLSEN's Jump Start Guide-Part 1; "Ten Things Educators Can Do").
- For excerpts from materials GLSEN has promoted to educators, see Concerning Classroom Materials.
Record of Intolerance
- Jennings also demonstrated intolerance toward conservative, faith-based viewpoints. Just to list a couple of examples
- Jennings' book Becoming Visible: A Reader in Gay and Lesbian History for High School Students states that "Some historians trace the development of homophobia in the West from the time when Christianity was adopted by the Romans. … "Whether homophobia began in the late Roman Empire because of the introduction of Christianity, or became widespread in the late Middle Ages for political reasons, one thing remains clear: Biblical scriptures were used to justify persecution of those who loved members of their own sex."
- In a Huffington Post guest column, Jennings openly mocked one of the nation's largest Christian student groups—Young Life.
GLSEN appears to be carrying on the traditions of its founder.
- A GLSEN manual for students encourages them to "end oppression" and then defines "community oppression" with this example: "A lesbian attends a house of worship that preaches homosexuality is a sin." (GLSEN Jump Start Guide-Part 5, Page 10).
- This is frightening: An organization gaining increasing access to thousands of public schools and funded by major corporations–and that has been endorsed by federal government officials—defines "oppression" as a sermon that doesn't align with a homosexual-activist interpretation of the Bible.
- GLSEN honors its most stalwart supporters during its annual "Respect Awards." In 2009, GLSEN gave a Respect Award to David Bohnett, a technology entrepreneur. Here are excerpts from Bohnett's speech made–ironically–upon receiving the GLSEN "respect" award:
- "… It is the evangelical and fundamentalist groups that teach homosexuality is a sin, who stand in the way of fairness and equality."
- "It's time to combat, head on, the religious organizations that are funding the opposition to marriage equality and safe-school legislation."
- "Among those who actively work against us, are the leaders of the Catholic, Mormon and evangelical churches who seek to deny us our equal protection…"
- "… the children taught at an early age that the Bible condemns homosexuality may become the school bullies and then later the adults who vote to deny marriage equality…"
- "It's time we raise our children to be independent thinkers and deeply suspicious of bible beating organized religion."
It's very disturbing that a national organization touted as a "safe schools" program for taxpayer-funded classrooms would give an honored platform to these kind of intolerant messages toward mainstream faith groups.
GLSEN also launched a school sports program called "Changing the Game." The person who led GLSEN's development for this program, Pat Griffin, had previously advised coaches on topics such as "What is Unacceptable in an Athletic Setting," including "Teammates proselytizing other team members who are not interested in discussing religion." Learn more here.
One-sided–and Sexually Explicit–Resources
Other issues of concern include:
- In GLSEN's 125-page Tackling LGBT Issues in School booklet (co-sponsored by Connecticut GLSEN and Planned Parenthood chapters), the organization promoted the following resources for educators:
- A "Heterosexual Questionnaire" that asks students, among other questions: "If you've never slept with a person of the same sex, is it possible that all you need is a good gay or lesbian lover?" This resource is promoted as a way to expose "heterosexism" and "make schools safer places."
- A "Homophobia Scale" lesson for high-school age students. The scale teaches that "acceptance" and "tolerance" are "homophobic" attitudes. But "positive levels of attitudes" are "admiration" and "nurturance."
- In short, GLSEN wants schools to push students beyond tolerance and acceptance into celebration of and advocacy for the homosexual activist movement.
GLSEN has come under fire for promoting sexually explicit books, as well as materials that contain derogatory statements toward religious and socially conservative people. Below are just a few of the books that GLSEN has recommended as the "highest quality resources" for students and educators :
- Two Moms, The Zark & Me, listed as being age-appropriate for elementary school kids, presents a nightmarish portrayal of a conservative couple basically accosting a child in a park. Even a Publishers Weekly review called it "mean-spirited": "A boy is taken to the park by his 'two moms,' wanders over to the zoo where he …is picked up by Mr. and Mrs. McFink—ultra conservatives who go ballistic over his family's domestic arrangements . … in all, it's a mean-spirited, sniping approach to a topic that deserves thoughtful treatment."
- GLSEN also promoted the book Queer 13 as appropriate for kids as young as middle school age. This book is extremely explicit and includes graphic descriptions of a young boy's sexual interactions with an adult man in a restroom—as well as details of how the boy goes on to have more sexual experiences with strangers.
- GLSEN has received proceeds from the sale of The Full Spectrum: A New Generation of Writing About Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Questioning and Other Identities, which it has promoted for use with kids as young as seventh grade. In addition to sexually graphic content, the book openly mocks and gives negative portrayals of several faiths. To learn more, click here.
Efforts to Transform Students into Political Lobbyists
GLSEN has promoted resources and activities for students that basically transform kids into lobbyists for adult, homosexual activist causes.
- GLSEN sponsors thousands of Gay Straight Alliances (GSA) clubs in middle and high schools.
- GLSEN publishes GSA-action manuals for students that among other things encourage them to:
- Combat "transphobia," defined as "Forcing people to select 'female' or 'male' on forms … Having the sex one was assigned at birth printed on one's driver's license …"
- Have a group discussion about discrimination against transgenderism, featuring questions such as, "What do your genitals look like?" and "How do you have sex?" (GLSEN Jump Start Guide, Part 7)
- Use "tactics that include circulating petitions" to revise "school policies"; "working with teachers to develop lesson plans on LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] history; organizing a coalition of allies." (GLSEN Jump Start Guide, Part 1)
- Another "tactic could be researching LGBT advocacy groups in your community in order to find someone who would be available to lead a workshop at your school," (GLSEN, Jump Start Guide-Part 2).
Gay Activism Events & Celebrations in Schools
Throughout the school year, GLSEN sponsors several homosexuality-themed events and celebrations that occur in January-November. Below are links to information about some of those events:
Transgender Day of Remembrance-November
GLSEN encourages educators and students to incorporate gay, lesbian and transgender themes into Black History Month in February and Women's History Month in March. For instance, during Black History Month, GLSEN highlights a list of "heroes" (to be shared with teachers and "fellow classmates") such as Marsha P. Johnson, described by GLSEN as someone who "was a transgender rights activist and has been designated by some as a queer saint."
Federal Endorsements/Funding of GLSEN
Government Web sites on bullying and health issues added links to GLSEN as a resource.
Then the government followed up its endorsements with action–GLSEN was awarded an annually renewable grant from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The grant funded a five-year project that allowed GLSEN to "partner with 20 targeted school districts across the country" and reach "14,500 school personnel and 4 million students."
GLSEN announced that it plans to use the grant money (up to $285,000 per year) in part to start "internal Implementation Teams" and training programs based on GLSEN's Safe Space Kit. Read more about the kit.
How to Respond
These developments raise the need—and the urgency level—for parents to monitor and ask questions about what's happening in their children's school district. Rather than waiting to react when something bad happens, it's a good idea to be proactive: Use the Take Action section on this Web site to email information to your school officials that helps you clearly express your concerns in a respectful and fact-based manner.

Dowsing was used as a divination tool since ancient times in order to access various types of information. The purpose for which dowsing is used varies - it can be from finding an underground source of water to asking mundane questions about one's daily activities.
Many well-known people practiced dowsing - Leonardo De Vinci, Robert Boyle (considered the father of modern chemistry), Charles Richet (a Nobel Prize winner), and others.
For our purpose, we might need to know how to dowse if all the consistent feng shui efforts to improve the energy of a house did not bring the desired results. I do not mean the quick and easy feng shui fixes, but a thorough, systematic approach to creating good feng shui energy in a house.
So, if you know you have done your best with applying feng shui, but there is something else at play impeding the good results, let's look into the option of dowsing.
The most popular dowsing tool is the pendulum, which you can find in any new age bookstore or an alternative healing space. Alternatively, you can even learn to dowse by hanging an object, such as a ring on a thread, for example, or by using a pendant on a chain.
Learning to dowse by using a pendulum is the easiest way to learn to dowse. You can also learn how to dowse with rods, although this is a less popular option.
Before we start, let's keep in mind two things. It is always best to take dowsing seriously because you want to use it as a tool to access specific info that can unblock the energy flow in your home. However, we often learn best by playing, so give yourself plenty of time to practice and play with it, until you feel more confident in your dowsing abilities.
A clearly centered, but also playful approach always works best. This will put your energy into a focused and relaxed state of mind necessary for most accurate results.
An understanding of the specific language of your pendulum will also happen at this exploration stage because the answer you are looking for is given by the directional swing of the pendulum.
Basically, a pendulum will swing either in a vertical line, a horizontal one or in a circular way. It is your job to ask for the meaning of a specific movement as an indication of a specific answer.
Do not be concerned as it is all easier than it sounds! All you have to do is ask the pendulum:
- Please show me a "Yes"
- Now show me a "No"
- Show me a "Maybe".
You will be amazed to discover a consistency of the same movement for each answer, no matter how many times you ask. For example, your pendulum might communicate "Yes" with a vertical swing and a "No" with a horizontal swing. A "Maybe", or a neutral answer might be a circular movement, or a coming to a still/ a slowing down of any movement.
So, if you have spent enough time exploring your pendulum and are ready to start using it for improving the feng shui of your home, let's start.
Here is what you need to start dowsing for better feng shui in your home:
1. A pendulum or a similar object as noted above.
2. Quiet time alone to center and focus.<br/>3. A clearly formulated question about a specific problem with your house.
It is best to start with just one issue until you explore all the solutions. You can either work by holding the pendulum over your floor plan, or just by asking specific questions, but remember that the pendulum only gives a "Yes" or a "No" answer, so you have to be able to constantly zoom in into the issue by asking very specific questions.

Hi there!
So at my job they always had an issue with JDE Security when someone as to use 2 role at the same time.
With our security, if a person has 2 role, they use the sequence to know which one to use first.
It's all good as long as they don't have security on the same object.
Like if F4201 is in read only for the first role, and read-write for the second role, it will be read only.
And we don't want that. I don't get why it would work like this, it doesn't make sense to me.
Are we doing something wrong? Is there a solution to this?
Right now we have to use 2 browser, one using a role and the second using the second role.
It's not productive.
Thank you!

No, this is not in my intention.

As an aside: the term "surfing" was explicitly used for what people do on the Web, because it semantically contains rather large portions of drifting aimlessly, being shoveled where the waves go, being blown away etc., and not searching with a clear goal. Thanks for pointing out that most activities on the Web involve at least some searching, and may it be for the mouse arrow on the screen... >So, in other words, your only real complaint is the actual terminology "web >2.0?" The terminology *and* what is associated with it: Brainwashing by dichotomizing the multitude of developments, ideas, functions, applications, communities that make up the Web. Degrading so many great ideas by comparing them to a subset and suggesting that the subset is fundamentally better. Take the Google (search engine) example again that supposedly is 1.0. 2.0 talk would suggest that it is backwardish to develop or use something like Google. But this is not true, of course. Social software is a relatively new concept, as is the Blog. But there are many many others, just think and remember. Off the hat: listserv, Gopher, forms, Dejanews, The Well, irc, Amazon, elbot, ICQ, Javascript, Java, MUD, frames, CSS, open source, Yahoo!, VRML, Panoramas, plugin, Netscape, PGP, top level domain expansion, Skype, PDF, spiders, open access, wireless, paperball, meta search, DHTML, https, fax2mail, PHP, Webcam... definitely not a 1.0_2.0able development! >Does that mean that you do or do not believe that certain tasks are >approached with a different mindset or set of tools...on a large scale?

Kassø-Tjele masts, Denmark
The fundamental transformation of our energy system from energy production based on fossil fuels to renewable energy is still in its early years. However, an increasing number of large-scale renewable energy projects are now under construction with the aim to provide clean energy for millions of households.
This change in the composition of producing units towards a more decentralized and fluctuating power production demands a new perspective on the complete power transmission infrastructure by increasing capacity between regions. This development will be based on both high voltage AC and DC technology with an increase in offshore grid connections.
At Ramboll we acknowledge that the development of the energy sector requires a holistic approach in order to provide long-term solutions for the coming generations. We focus on providing solutions that can uphold the quality of supply throughout their entire lifetime.
For Ramboll, the technical solutions are only part of the delivery. It is clear that any project on the global market is characterised by increasing project complexity, demand for flexible solutions, greater focus on stakeholder involvement and decreasing cost (CAPEX & OPEX).
Ramboll can offer engineering consultancy services ranging from design of HV equipment and substation automation all the way to offshore platform design and onshore constructions including civil works.
Furthermore, Ramboll offers consultancy services for engineering and design of HV overhead lines. We provide solutions for mast design and predesign covering geotechnical and topographical investigations and cables.
Our HV cable competencies range from route planning, surveying and engineering to interface handling. We have experience working both offshore and onshore. We work in urban areas, remote areas as well as with offshore transmission cables or wind park array cables.
Ramboll's power transmission services focus on five disciplines, which all supplement each other:
For every one of these segments, Ramboll has the competencies to provide consultancy services covering all engineering aspects.
As a preferred solution provider, Ramboll is accustomed to working as the Owner's Engineer at EPC level. In general, our services include:
Our competent power transmission team provide consulting services covering the entire project cycle from outline design to post construction in relation to both refurbishments and green-field power transmission projects.
Studstrup Power Station in Aarhus is about to reach the end of its service life and will now undergo extensive refurbishment. Ramboll is advising the owner of the plant, DONG Energy, in all project phases for this work from analysis through to commissioning.
A new overhead transmission line is needed in order to secure the quality of supply in Denmark. Denmark puts a great effort into reducing CO2 emissions by expanding the production capacity based on renewable energy. Consequently, a more flexible electricity grid is needed to be able to transport the power from the offshore wind parks to the consumers as well as increasing the transmission capacity between international markets.
When antennas from different telecommunication operators were installed in the overhead transmission line towers of Energinet.dk, a static analysis of the towers and the foundation was needed. Ramboll assisted Energinet.dk with all antennas installed in the their towers.
When existing overhead transmission lines are rebuilt, it is often necessary to increase the height of towers or move towers and install new foundations. Ramboll has often assisted Energinet.dk in these situations.

Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart's love story was not based on love at first sight. But, everything was very natural and the singer does not rule out marrying again. Lopez says she still believes in fairy tales.
Lopez's dancer and choreographer spoke of their romance in an interview that aired Tuesday on "Good Morning America." Excerpts from the interview showed how Casper talked about the relationship with J.Lo, who announced her separation from Marc Anthony in July last year.
In fact, months after the break with Marc, Jennifer began dating Smart, but said there was nothing before the singer was married. "I do not think it love at first sight. Everything happened very naturally. There was nothing before, no flirting, nothing," said the 25-year-old dancer.
For her part, Lopez said it may be difficult for someone to be with her, "But at the end of the day, I know I deserve it," she said. "For me, the biggest dream is the fairy tale. And I'll never give up that dream."

Although I was very enthusiastic at the beginning of this course, my enthusiasm was soon replaced by disappointment. There were several reasons for my disappointment: First, it is very difficult to understand Prof. ChengXiang Zhai. This is aggravated by the fact that the subtitles of his videos have not been edited and many of these subtitles do not really make any sense. Furthermore, some of the quizzes check on material that is only covered in the week after the quiz. Second, and more importantly, I was disappointed by the explanations offered by Prof. Zhai. Often, he just drops some technical terms without giving any explanation whatsoever. An example in point is his covering of the Kullback-Leibler divergence. He just dropped the name but did not offer any definition or explanation. Unfortunately, there were many more topics that were only covered in such a name dropping way. In the end, I bought myself the book by Stefan Büttcher and the book by Christopher Manning. These are excellent books that were also recommended by Prof. Zhai. For anybody interested in information retrieval I would actually recommend to go directly to these books instead of taking this course.

10 Fast Car Album Rituals You Should Know In 2016 | fast car album
In a apple area fast cars, Gucci belts and ahem abstract fueled lyrics reigns supreme, how does a apprehensive guy from a baby boondocks in the Southwest breach in? For Dylan Montayne — you can accumulate that façade. It would alone booty abroad from the ability of his music. Montayne can ride a exhausted like it owes him money. He can chop it up faster than a chef and seamlessly alloy every appearance into his breeze with effortless confidence. His music speaks for itself — and you're activity to appetite to listen.
Image Source: songaah.com
On the surface, his aboriginal anthology Rebecca Lane is a adulation letter. But abaft the lyrics, his music paints a account of a guy whose actual aptitude and adherence are about to booty him on the adventure of a lifetime. We sat bottomward with Montayne afterwards the absolution of the aboriginal affiliate in his career to deconstruct what's abutting for this rapper who is about to put the Denver rap arena on the map.
303 Magazine: Your music is broadly classified as rap, but your latest anthology incorporates aggregate from Latin-influenced guitar riffs to agreeable R&B hooks. How do you call your appearance of music in your own words?
Dylan Montayne: For me, it's absolutely adamantine to attenuated bottomward what appearance I fit into. My agreeable appearance and articulate appearance is added afflicted by archetypal rappers like Nas, Jay-Z, Tupac, Method Man and all the greats because that's what I grew up alert to. But I additionally appear from a ancestors area we accept to a absolutely assorted ambit of music. My mom would comedy reggae all the time. She was additionally absolutely into motown, Marvin Gaye and all that. My dad was added into bedrock 'n' cycle and alien me to Led Zeppelin. I had earlier ancestors too, I'm the youngest. I was advantageous because [my siblings] had absolutely acceptable agreeable tastes. Both my sister and brother were absolutely amenable for the rap thing. I anticipate all of those influences led me to the blazon of music I accomplish today. It's rap — for abiding — but there are a lot added amoebic elements and instrumentation, like absolute drums and absolute guitars.
303: Tell me added about the afflatus abaft your aboriginal album, Rebecca Lane.
DM: I grew up in New Mexico and there's not a lot to do area I'm from so you actualize your own fun. A abode that we would all go to affectionate of arctic and adhere out growing up was alleged Rebecca Lane. It was this clay alley with a acceptable appearance of the boondocks that we would adhere out at and accept fun. My anthology tells a story, and I capital to put it in the ambience of area I was at that time. I capital it to reflect that akin of freedom. Rebecca Lane is ambience up the foundation for my adventure — my roots.
303: You're originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Why did you move to Denver?

I bethink advancing actuality cerebration this was big burghal livin', so I've consistently anticipation of Denver as a abode I'd like to live. The bodies actuality adulation music so abundant that you don't accept to advertise your shows — they advertise themselves. One of the aboriginal things I noticed back I came actuality was that I almost had to advertise my show. I told bodies about it, and anybody came. I didn't apperceive a lot of bodies at the time here, but everybody came out to see me, and it's aloof connected to be that way. Denver's a abundant ambiance for that.

I anticipate every burghal needs somebody who takes it to the abutting level. I appetite to be that guy. I appetite to be that guy from Denver who brings absorption to the blow of the scene, and again everybody can eat. There are some amazing artists actuality who don't get the love that they should get — but cipher expects rap to appear out of Denver. You charge some flash on the scene, addition to cast the script.
303: Afterwards watching you perform, I apperceive you accept the abeyant to be that guy. Area does your onstage activity and attendance appear from?
DM: I've been assuming my accomplished life. I started arena drums at the age of five, accomplishing aptitude shows and all that. Back I get on stage, it absolutely feels like that's area I accord because it's the easiest affair I've anytime done. Obviously, there are fretfulness and aggregate involved, but as anon as the aboriginal song starts and I get out there, I'm aloof anon comfortable. I feel like that's area I should be — that's what drives the motivation. There's annihilation abroad that makes me feel that comfortable. I anticipate that's a assurance to myself that I'm on the appropriate path.
303: What's the abutting footfall on that path?
DM: I'd like to accept an anthology area I assignment with artists from absolutely altered genres. I anticipate I'm able to do that because I can alter my complete abundant to area it's not aloof absolutely rap all the time. I've got added music already in the works. The ambition is to never let the drive end.

I've also posted this on my Comic Vine profile, which you are welcome to check out at http://www.comicvine.com/myvine/vitaeleous/blog/ . It's where I geek out on a daily basis. On a weekly basis, I'm going to start reviewing the comics I've read that week. Should be a pretty chill review, no expletives or slander, just a little honest musing.
I'm a little behind in picking up my pull this month as the issues trickle in, but it's been a stellar week for reading nonetheless. I only just decided this week to start collecting the New 52 Green Lantern. The introduction of Simon Baz last year had me intrigued, and I jumped in with issue #12. I kept pulling back issues off the shelf whenever I wandered into the shop, and the character was keeping things interesting. Johns had, once again, made a valuable and worthy addition to the GL mythos, and I was loving it. So when I went in this week I picked up #14-16, in which Simon singlehandedly gives the entire Justice League a run for their money, finds the bugger that put him in this fix in the first place while using a basement full of homemade explosives to fend off an alien army, and does the impossible with his ring. Johns' writing is solid as always, and Doug Mahnke's art carries the sort of vibrant vitality appropriate to this title; I wouldn't settle for less, honestly. I decided it was high time I added this title to my monthlies, ironically just days before it was announced that Johns is leaving the title...that, however, is another story. For those of you as yet unfamiliar with Simon Baz, I must recommend you pick up Green Lantern and give it a shot.
After paging through a Marvel: Now preview book I decided to jump on the bandwagon and give it a go. It's been a while since anything new by Marvel really caught my eye, so these first few issues have been a rather pleasant surprise. Secret Avengers #1 is brilliant, a move from the team we gaped in awe at on the screen to a much more covert initiative. A little less explosive, and a lot more shadows. It feels like a crime comic rather than a supers story, which is a move I've been hoping to see marvel make with S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while. It's happening, and it's happening in style. Also from Marvel: Fearless Defenders #1, which is shaping up to be a wild ride. Those of you who know me or have read the little bit of stuff I've written should know that I take a pretty academic approach to comics literature. Part and parcel to that is numerous discussions on feminism in comics, and this series is going to become a major part of that tradition. Our protagonists are exclusively female (thus far), badass, wily, and, well, lesbian. The dialogue is flawless and the panels are just a blast to look at. I'm looking forward to seeing where this story is going on a large scale, but also to hearing the response from the feminist comics scholars among us. Joss Whedon would be proud.
Then there was the random and entirely pleasant discovery of F.J. DeSanto's DC miniseries Insurgent. This wasn't even on my radar until a few days back when I picked it up on a whim at the shop. I am ever so glad I did. The art might not be everybody's cup of tea, but the writing is rock-solid. There are so many terribly written comics on the market today, being able to sit down with something this well-scripted is truly a breath of fresh air. The story presents a gritty look into a drastically dystopic future where cybernetics have turned people into weapons against their will. And then shit hits the fan. I won't say much more than that; you're just going to have to read it for yourself. I believe the first two issues are out, four still to come. It's a shame something this solid is only being presented as a limited run; there's a ton of potential here for a quality story that would outstrip most of what DC is publishing these days. Ah well. You can't win 'em all.
On the webcomics front (an area in which I am woefully behind), I was introduced yesterday to Nimona, the whimsical genius of illustrator Noelle Stevenson. It follows the adventures of wannabe supervillain and shapeshifter Nimona in a hi-tech yet medieval world inhabited by...you know what, nevermind. Screw the synopsis. There are political intrigues, dragons, jousting, and biomechanical arms. Now go read it (http://gingerhaze.com/nimona/comic/page-1)
Oh. I also drew a dwarf with a weaponized beard. Stay tuned for pictures.

In the realm of computing, few things are more disturbing than a PC crash. Thoughts immediately turn to the valuable data you might have lost and that backup you intended to do - but never did.
In practice, things are rarely as bad as they first appear. Unless you've suffered a hardware failure, and specifically a hard disk crash, in all probability your data will still be intact. Here we'll show you how to find out what's gone wrong and recover from it.
Hardware faults
With the exception of some intermittent faults, some of which can easily be cured, our emphasis is on software-related issues. Before we start, therefore, it would be a good idea to make sure that the problems you're experiencing aren't due to a hardware fault.
If nothing happens at all when you try to turn your PC on, no lights come on and the fan doesn't start, either the fuse in the plug has blown or there's a hardware fault with the PC itself, probably in the power supply. The chances are you won't have lost any data but you may need to enlist professional help to repair your PC if you're not comfortable swapping out PSUs.
Alternatively, if lights do come on and the fans start but nothing appears on the screen or perhaps you get a Bios error message and Windows makes no attempt to start, the fault is probably connected with the motherboard, processor or memory.
It might just be an intermittent fault (on which we'll provide some guidance later) but if that doesn't work, again you'll need expert assistance.
Finally, if your PC makes clicking or other unhealthy noises or if you see a BIOS error relating to the hard disk, it could well be a disk crash. Since this could result in data loss, take no chances. Turn your PC off and contact a data recovery company such as OnTrack.
Recent changes and updates
If your PC starts behaving erratically or crashing, the first thing to do is consider whether you've made any changes to your system recently. If the problems started immediately after installing some new hardware and its associated drivers, this would be a prime suspect.
In fact, if the crash is associated with the "blue screen of death" (BSOD), there might be a clue in the error message as to what's happened - it might even list an offending driver.
Conversely, if Windows always crashes or hangs while you're running the same software, especially if it's a package you've recently installed or upgraded, that's a likely candidate.
Windows Event Viewer (search for "Event Viewer" in the start menu) is a useful utility that could shed some light on what's gone wrong but it's tricky for the uninitiated to get to grips with. For more information, see Microsoft's guide.
If the change is something you can reverse – uninstalling the new hardware and its driver, for example – try that. If it corrects the problem, look online to see if there's a more up-to-date driver you could use instead. Failing that, contact technical support for the hardware in question.
Of course, if the problem is so serious that Windows won't even start, removing suspect software isn't ordinarily possible. In this case (and this also applies to using System Restore that we'll look at later) the solution is to try starting your PC in Windows Safe Mode. This is a special mode in which all but the most basic and essential drivers and facilities are disabled.
While this doesn't make your PC useable for everyday tasks, it will often run when Windows will not start normally allowing you to diagnose and cure system faults. To start Windows in Safe Mode, turn your PC on and immediately start pressing the F8 key repeatedly. When the Windows Advanced Boot Options menu appears, select Safe Mode.
System Restore & Windows Update
It won't always be obvious what change has caused Windows to become unstable but there are measures you can take that could resolve the matter, nevertheless. Each time you make a substantial change to your system, and also at regular intervals, Windows stores the state of the system as so-called restore points that you can revert to later.
It would be a good idea, therefore, to try restoring your system to an earlier date. Be assured that the process won't cause any of your files to be deleted, but recently installed software may be removed. Just search for "System Restore" in the Start menu and follow the instructions on screen.
Something else to check, if you're suffering occasional failures, is that Windows is up to date. If you have automatic Windows updates enabled then your system should be fully up to date but, if not, you should check for updates.
Search for "Windows Update" using the Start menu and then click on Change Settings at the left. Now select "Install updates automatically (recommended)" from the menu. There are also utilities that will identify all out-of-date drivers on your PC and update them – some are free. Just enter "Driver Update" into Google but be sure to pick one that has received good reviews.

By Wayne Kett
As somebody who enjoys a drink or three I was very excited when I discovered that part of our social history collection here at the superstores was a selection of items representing the brewing industry and Public Houses of Norwich.
It used to be said that Norwich had a Church for every week of the year and a pub for every day of the year!! At this time Norwich had the highest number of pubs per square mile anywhere in the country. Sadly many of these pubs have since closed, but Norwich still enjoys a wealth of pubs.
The trend of pub closures in Norwich follows a nationwide pattern over many decades and can be explained by a variety of reasons such as, increasing awareness of health issues, development of new technologies (television, computers etc) and interests that compete with people's attention as well successive governments seeming desire to tax pubs out of existence!
I would just like to very quickly outline the history of brewing in Norwich, commencing in the 1830s. Though of course people have been drinking ale since the Bronze Age and pubs or taverns have been a feature of our society since the Roman conquest.
In the 1830's there were 27 competing breweries in Norwich. Through a combination of closures and mergers this had been whittled down to 4 main breweries by the 1920's. These were Bullards, Steward & Patteson, Young, Crayshaw & Youngs and Morgans. These then merged into two, both of which were bought out by Watney Mann in the 1960's. Watney Mann was then bought by Grand Metropolitan in the 1970's and finally in 1997 Grand Metropolitan merged with Guinness to form Diagio. Diagio is responsible for global brands such as Guinness and Carlsberg and generates revenue of £14.5 billion per annum!
Whilst the days of local, large scale breweries has gone, what survives is a healthy group of small, local micro-breweries that offer fans of ales, stouts and porters a rich variety of choice. A great example of this is the Chalk Hill Brewery which runs the Coach & Horses on Thorpe Road (I recommend a pint of CHB, very tasty and less than £3 a pint) or the Fat Cat brewing company which now operates three pubs in the city.
One of the major breweries in Norwich was Bullards, whose business was in the Coslany area of Norwich. We are lucky to have a multitude of objects in our collection that were saved when this brewery closed down.
Bullards started life in 1837 opened by Richard Bullard in partnership with James Watts. Though there were numerous local breweries at this time, Bullard was a great businessman; his beer proved the most popular and he was able to quickly grow his business.
After his death one of his ten children, Harry took over the running of the business, he also pursued a career in politics, becoming mayor in 1878 & again in 1886.
There was a great flood in Norwich in 1878 and many parts of the city; especially the area around Bullards brewery was badly affected. As mayor Harry Bullard was praised for his efforts to co-ordinate the rescue of people trapped inside buildings as well as organising the distribution of bread, tea and coffee to those in need.
By the 1960s Bullards owned over 1000 public houses. But in 1963 Bullards was sold at the same time as the Steward & Patteson brewery to Watney Mann. Later the brewery was demolished, regretfully its iconic tower was also pulled down.
Our collection contains many of the paraphernalia and tools of the trade that were used at the Bullards brewery site, examples include thermometers, scales, hammers, mallets, barrels, jars, glasses etc.
Below is a stoneware beer jar, stamped R. Bullard, wine and spirit merchant, Norwich. Presumably this relates to the Richard Bullard previously mentioned who originally started the brewery. Bullards was first opened in 1837 and Richard died in 1864 so this jar is very old and relates to this period.
We also have a fabulous collection of pub signs including these:
This one was for the Shoemaker pub, based on Hutchinson Road, West Earlham and was painted in 1959. Sadly this pub has been closed and the actual building was demolished in the summer of 2012. One side of the sign has been pierced by air gun pellets, the story of how this came to pass has I imagine been lost to history, but I would love to know why and how this happened. The pubs name is presumably a reference to Norwich's shoe making heritage.
This sign if for the Golden Star on Colegate, Norwich, this pub is actually still open and well worth a visit!
Finally this one is in best condition of the three and is for the Cock Inn, Botesdale which is actually just over the border in Suffolk, sadly it too is closed.
We also have plenty of paraphernalia from the interiors of pubs such as posters, signs, glasses and ashtrays.
I have noticed that some pubs in the city still bear traces of Bullards brewery even 50 years after its demise. I spotted a Bullards inscribed mirror in the Cottage on Silver Street and another in the Duke of Wellington on Waterloo Road. The Cottage was previously a Bullards pub, but the Duke of Wellington from what I can find out wasn't.
The history of public houses and brewing in Norwich is important for understanding the social and cultural development of our fine city and telling the story of its past. Any society needs neutral spaces like pubs for neighbours to meet and socialise, these are the things which bind communities together. For these reasons I believe it is a hugely important collection for us to hold.
I recommend a visit to our fantastic Bridewell museum in Norwich which contains a display related to Norwich's brewing history.
Some of the information I have gathered for this blog comes from this fantastic website http://www.norfolkpubs.co.uk if you wish to find further information on Norfolk pubs both past and present its probably the best place to start.

ASR Tutorials is an educational institute which specializes in teaching maths. The organization has created a niche for itself in the Math's Course.
ASR Tutorials Pvt. Ltd. was started in the year 1986 by our respected Sir, Ajeet Shanti Ramjanak Pandey who has a teaching experience of more than 30 years. He started his teaching career at an early age of 18 along with MATHS & SCIENCE for Std. IXth and Xth.
As time passed by, along with his graduation he had inculcated a firm base in his teaching and gained experience by providing successful result in maths and science over the years. Thereafter he realized that there is lack of quality education for Maths and students face more problem in mathematics as compare to science, so it was decided by sir to stop teaching Science and just focus on teaching "Only Mathematics"so as to make sure that instead of hating maths as a subject, student should love it by finding it easy and yes this ideology came true.
"We secure ADMISSION of class VIIIth, IXth and Xth [ICSE/CBSE/IGCSE Board, MATHS only]. After being there for more than 30 years in teaching profession today solely Maths is taught by 'SIR' himself and even routine test papers, worksheets (sums for topic wise) pre-prelims test, post-prelims test, Revision and also correction of all the test paper is done by Sir Ajeet himself as he believes in excellence through personal attention and academic excellence is what we have achieved over the years.

In the mean time, a work around is to right click on the PDF Link and Select Save link As to save the PDF to your computer, then open the saved file.
To help us in tracking down the problem, can you please post back a few more details about you system:
What web browser and version are you using?
what version Of Acrobat Reader do you have installed?
Do you have Acrobat Pro installed?
I do have both Acrobat Reader 8 installed, and also Acrobat 9 pro. I tried opening them in both. The workaround did work for one, at least, so I will try it on others. I tried opening them on both a Vista computer and an XP, one has IE8 running, the other IE7. Both with the same results. The really odd thing is, before I downloaded the program, about a week before, I did open some of the pdf's and printed them off in preparation for setting up FOR PowerStore 2. Then, once I downloaded PS2 onto our external hard drive that both computers use, couldn't use either one for opening the WA pdfs. I did open pdfs from other sites with no problems at all. Could be a coincidence....but timing is odd.

Corporate executives know there is no such thing as job security in these times of economic uncertainty. Our attorneys help executives in every stage of their employment, from working out initial employment terms to negotiating a severance package. Our team considers all aspects of the law that can impact your individual situation, including employment law, corporate and securities law, litigation, tax law, employee benefits law and labor law.
When we provide representation to our executive clients, we consider all issues related to executive employment agreements, such as:
- Determination of base compensation and bonus arrangements
- Circumstances of termination (with or without cause)
- Compensation due upon termination — severance and benefits
- Restrictive and confidentiality covenants
- Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements
- Tax issues related to employment agreements
Many executives have the opportunity to participate in the equity ownership of their employers through stock options, straight purchases of equity or stock appreciation rights. We counsel executives in complying with tax law, and negotiating equity and/or deferred compensation plans.
For executives in transition who have an existing non-compete agreement, we will review your documentation to determine the boundaries and enforceability of such agreements. We can also negotiate release and separation agreements for executives. If the issues cannot be settled, we are equipped to represent you in court or arbitration. Litigation issues we address for our corporate executive clients include terminations, both with and without cause, and the enforceability of non-compete agreements.

Welcome to our website
'Abraham Lincoln and Slavery'
The wisdom of the Bible tells us 'in the writing of books there is no end'. In our time this seems true for websites as well. Yet with the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth (2/12/09), with the election of the first African-American President, and with our ongoing need for inspiration and insight from the 16th President of the United States, it is an opportune time for this website.
Abraham Lincoln viewed slavery as something he had always hated. Yet this was an institution that had always been on the American landscape. The founding fathers had written in the Declaration of Independence (1776) about 'all men being created equal' and of 'certain inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness'. But in the ratified US Constitution (1788), 'We the People' promoted the institution of slavery, even to the point that each slave was valued as three-fifths of a citizen in a state's electoral proportion. 'Self-evident truths' of equality and self-determination from the Declaration were in conflict with 'creating a more perfect union' from the Constitution. This national ambivalence carried into the 1860s, when injustice was established and domestic tranquility became Civil War.
Lincoln was also a man of his times, living in two worlds. Illinois was a mixture of abolitionist thinking in its north and slavery sympathy in its south that bordered the slave state Kentucky. Lincoln's residence in Springfield was analogous to his centrist politics on slavery. He wanted slavery to be limited to its present national boundaries. Then as the American West experienced the boom of competitive labor, the culture would ultimately desire to promote freedom for all people, instead of leaving an underclass in permanently indentured servitude.
When the Kansas-Nebraska Act was enacted in 1854, everything changed for Lincoln and the country. This was the slippery slope that allowed slavery into any and all of the emerging western states. Lincoln's conscience moved him to become an unelected, self-styled spokesman against the prospect of a permanently enslaved nation. While failing to win elected office in 1858, he spoke for many when he accepted the constitutional validity of slavery without the necessity of this becoming expansive into the western states. This position won Lincoln a hearing with the electorate and ultimately the United States Presidency in 1860.
Lincoln entered office in March, 1861 holding to these convictions. Yet the Southern states were incrementally seceding from the Union and many in the North, unwilling to continue conflicted relationships, were saying 'good riddance'. Lincoln's position was for the preeminence of the Union (the bonds were Constitutionally and morally not allowed to be broken) and the tolerance of slavery without its expansion.
As the Civil War started and then droned on, Lincoln sought to use any means possible to bring the military conflict to an end and to bring restoration of the rebel States, which he contended had never legally left the United States. The Emancipation Proclamation, proposed near the end of 1862, was Lincoln's mega-attempt to cause the war to come to a swift conclusion. This did not happen. What did happen was that the North accepted a culture of freedom for all. The War between the States was now about the Union and about freeing slaves. As the war continued, Lincoln came to the conclusion that this was the opportune time to bring a permanent emancipation and even the initial steps towards citizenry for millions of people. To secure this emancipation beyond Supreme Court scrutiny, the Thirteenth Amendment was proposed and passed by Congress.
What you have just read is the largest portion of commentary you will see on this site. The essence of Lincoln and Slavery is found under Document: Lincoln Concerning Slavery, Challenging the Institution in His Own Words. The honor is for Lincoln to explain his own journey of living and working through the issue of slavery. The words of this document are predominately Lincoln's own, with limited commentary to frame the setting for Lincoln's messages. So please be transported to another time and culture; then make your own judgment about the impact Abraham Lincoln has made for freedom on American life.

Conflict is something different for me. The normal is Libya or maybe a feud like Montague and Capulet. Somehow for me its raised voices or a simple disagreement. It makes me scared, angry, an overwhelming need to cry and yet I can never show it or say it. All I can do is giggle - which seems to wind them up. Does everyone feel guilt like that?
I can't see a world where guilt at such things can ever survive.
The giggle is not my 'laugh' but it appears whenever people come across as aggressive or forceful. But my guilt doesn't say that's fair: they want to get their point across or feel they want to be heard. Even so, I cannot or should not deny how it makes me feel (which may not be rational, its emotion) which is attacked, wrong and ultimately I have to submit.
Afterwards I feel anger, certainly towards myself: why should I give in when I'm made to feel like that? I know they don't mean to make me feel like that but they do - and I should say.
But I can't, I don't and I won't. Letting myself get hurt and being submissive is okay, it keeps everyone happy...
Except me, I've been de-valued.

That's one of the dumbest things i've ever read.
So, the evidence that the Gifford shooting was staged, as far as i can tell from that link, is that...the young girl who was shot was born on 9/11??? And her church is named after St. Odelia??? Oh wait, also one of the pictures of one of the victims makes his eyes look funny! Well, that proves it!!!
Sweet lord almighty, give me a break....there's grasping at straws, and then there's plain old delusion....

The teeth can be changed slightly by a covering but not the size. the eyes look further apart by makeup changes.
Many people have decided based on where the idea came from. I think that is a mistake. I don't even know who they are really but I would not rule out them being the same persons. Seems I am alone in my thinking but I am almost always right.

Insuring Workplace Health & Safety Liabilities
Harmonised Workplace Health & Safety legislation has now been enacted in all States other than Western Australia and Victoria. The new regulations provide for fines and penalties to be imposed on body corporates, a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU), Officers and Workers. Maximum penalties are $3,000,000 in respect of a body corporate and $300,000 or five years jail for an individual. It is considered likely that Western Australia will adopt the harmonised regulations. The Victorian State Government has indicated that it is unlikely to do so in the near future. Both states have existing legislation which provides for similar penalties.
Conventional insurance products provide an element of cover to WH&S prosecutions but do not respond to the risk in a comprehensive manner.
In conjunction with leading insurers Willis have developed our Workplace Health & Safety Liability Insurance Policy. The cover is specifically designed to cover necessary legal cost and fines and penalties arising from WH&S investigations and prosecutions.

Korean Me

Naughty by Nature
Using Scrapbook Challenges sketch 204, here's another entry for Scrappersatsg's challenge 34.
This picture was taken 2 years ago. I was invited for a trial photo shoot from "Naughty by Nature". The concept was good, the package was enticing but I still had to say "no" though.
At first I was shy and couldn't really pose but after warming up told myself "oh what the heck" and started enjoying the shoot. From white shirt & jeans get up, I was asked to change to another costume. After looking at their selection of clothing, I decided to go with the "Hanbok"
Hanbok (South Korea) is the traditional Korean dress. It is often characterized by vibrant colors and simple lines without pockets. Although the term literally means "Korean clothing", hanbok today often refers specifically to hanbok of Joseon Dynasty and is worn as semi-formal or formal wear during traditional festivals and celebrations. Modern hanbok does not exactly follow the actual style as worn in Joseon dynasty since it went through some major changes during the 20th century for practical reasons
After the shoot they told me about the different packages and benefits of Naughty by Nature, though it's a good deal and was really tempted I still had to say no because it was out of my budget hehehe...
Fortunately, they asked me tochoose 2 of my favorite shots. They burned it in a CD and gave it to me as a souvenir.

Re: What are my chances?
Strongly consider retaking the LSAT. With you current stats there are probably no law schools worth attending out of the ones you are competitive for admissions at (unless you already have a job lined up after graduating law school). Drowning in debt and graduating law school without a legal job is a distinct possibility at law schools where you're currently competitive. The good news? The LSAT is a very learnable test and a high score can compensate for your lower GPA. I personally improved 19 points from my diagnostic score and I tutored/taught students who made similar leaps.

Note that that's not a good thing. Listen to Richie and retake. No law school cares about your résumé. Also, this
is one of the silly things people who haven't done enough research on their prospective career tend to say. Especially with your numbers.bane4x wrote: I am not looking for scholarships, just admission.
To correct that, do the following:
- • Use the forum search to find threads about some of the schools a 3.3/156 will get you into and read what they say.
• Go to lawschooltransparency.com and look at the employment statistics and debt figures for those schools.
• Learn how legal hiring works (hint: it doesn't involve many of the things that can get you non-legal jobs).
• Read through the employment section of this forum and pay special attention to the people from T-14 schools who can't find work.
• Read through the LSAT prep section of this forum and realize that you can avoid the likelihood of financial suicide you learned about by doing the above by learning how to score a 170+ on a learnable test.
Because I'm curious, what conference did you play in?
