Gift of the Ages
The mineral comparison charts at the top of this page are just one of many similar examinations undertaken by Dr. Thomas J. Rice, chairman of the Earth & Soil Sciences Department of Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA. In one of the most significant soil and geological studies of a vineyard ever launched, Cal Poly invested thousands of hours in comprehensive trials and analyses resulting in research project papers authored by eleven graduates of Cal Poly.
The unusual combination of limestone, calcium montmorillonite, and igneous (volcanic) rock and the twenty-six soil types that compose the vineyard make the Carmody McKnight Vineyards the perfect natural laboratory for such vital research. This extraordinary convergence of soils, found nowhere else on earth, contributes to the most perfect environment known for grape growing and winemaking.
The above charts, prepared by the Soil Science Department of Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA, contrast nutrients in Chardonnay grape-must found in the Carmody McKnight Vineyards (top chart) with the most nutrients previously found in grapes, depicted in the bottom chart (Winkler et al, 1974). Considering that the vineyard has never fertilized the soil in its 26 years, this result is nothing short of astonishing.
This is the direct and scientifically gained evidence that Carmody McKnight Vineyards are the most natural and ideal example of sustainability in farming. It is no wonder that in the last year alone, over three major groups of soil scientists, viticulturalists and geologists from the top universities have traveled to the vineyard from all over the world for special studies and symposiums.
And in the last few months another profound discovery in this miracle vineyard! LINK

There was a time when, in almost every western culture, people had some knowledge of Christianity; they may not have been Christians, but they at least understood the basics of Christianity. However, increasingly, western culture has been following a trajectory towards becoming a "post-christian culture." With each new generation, fewer and fewer people are being raised with a basic understanding of Christianity. For them, Christianity has become new again; a new idea they have not previously considered or examined. With the advent of this new generation that has little or no knowledge of Christianity, we once again have the challenge and the opportunity to introduce them afresh to the christian faith. This was also the task before Mathetes.
"Since I see thee, most excellent Diognetus, exceedingly desirous to learn the mode of worshipping God prevalent among the Christians, and inquiring very carefully and earnestly concerning them, what God they trust in, and what form of religion they observe,... I cordially welcome this thy desire, and I implore God, who enables us both to speak and to hear, to grant to me so to speak, that, above all, I may hear you have been edified, and to you so to hear, that I who speak may have no cause of regret for having done so." (Mathetes 1)For Diognetus, Christianity was a "new kind or practice [of piety] has only now entered into the world, and not long ago." (Mathetes 1) He had heard of Christianity, but knew little of its faith or practices. All the world was a buzz about Christianity but few really understood anything about it. However, they knew that Christians were different; different from the Romans and different from the Jews; and it was this difference that made Diognetus curious. It was the fact that Christians stood out as different from the world that made people take note and made them desirous to know and learn about this "new religion."
"so as all to look down upon the world itself, and despise death, while they neither esteem those to be gods that are reckoned such by the Greeks, nor hold to the superstition of the Jews; and what is the affection which they cherish among themselves." (Mathetes 1)So what made the Christians so different from the world around them? First, they were people who did not cherish the things of this world nor even their own life. Their love and affection was turned else where. Something else of such great value had filled their lives such that the things of this world had become dull in comparison. They no longer lived for earthly rewards but rather pursued those things that were eternal, those things that held heavenly rewards. They were truly people that were "in this world but not of it."
Secondly, they were people who did not worship the popular gods of their culture. They did not fear the Greek gods nor held to the superstitions of the Jews. They believed in one God what was supreme over all and their religion was based on a relationship with God rather than in prescribed practices aimed at placating or propitiating god. To them, God was living and close, not a god to be feared but a God to be loved.
Lastly, they had a deep love for one another. In Christ they had been made one, regardless of their background, social status, or ethnicity; in Christ they were one. Their love for one another was a shining evident of the God who lived in them. It was as Jesus said, "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13:35) Everyone wants to be loved, and in the expressions of the early church, people got to see true love for one another.
So how do people today, in our post-christian culture, see the church? Do they see anything different? Do they see anything desirous? Do they see a new and living way or simply a repackaging of the same-old-same-old? Maybe the reason people are not asking or inquiring into Christianity is because they see nothing worth looking into. As Christians we were meant to be different, to be a shining light, a city on a hill; let us take courage and live up to our part.

– Last day of brown hair Like what! – She has no idea and she won't until her hair is whatever color
Are you sad, are you scared? – Scared – Okay I just found out what we're doing so this whole time I've known nothing I've been on edge too – I trust them I trust you – Oh my god! I like it! – [Girl With Glasses] It looks good! ♪ I just want to be with you ♪ ♪ Baby this is crazy ♪ – What's up guys, so I'm here to tell you all that I am changing my hair color So I went ahead and picked out six overtone colors from their website that's like a coloring conditioner
Pink, rose gold, blue, purple, pastel orange and silver So Brooklyn's gonna go ahead and put up some polls to vote on on our Instagram and then the top three picks from each polls you guys will get to vote on But I will not know what the final color is It's not gonna be until the very end of the video, when my hair is already been colored and cut that I finally get to see what color you guys picked for my hair! Just please pick a good color, please guys, c'mon (kisses) You're my little sisters
You got my back, right? – I got it narrowed down to three colors, silver, rose gold and blue So I put up an Instagram today that I will show you in a second, that basically asks for everyone to comment what color they wanted her hair to be There are two colors that are competing intensely for number one I will show you the Instagram post right now and kind of swipe through the comments so you get a little bit of an idea of what that looks like – Last day of brown hair
Like what! (breathing heavily) I'm freaking out Hey, they said that they were like low on pastel orange colors and so they like couldn't send it to me unless like I really needed it and then I just opened all the boxes and pastel orange was in it, which means it probably means pastel orange – [Brooklyn] And she's sad about that – I'm not upset about that, I just like– – [Brooklyn] Yes you are look at your face – I'm doing whatever they want – [Brooklyn] She thinks, she thinks she knows
– [Bailey] You're just, not on your face – [Brooklyn] I'm trying to– Hi She thinks she knows what colors her hairs gonna be because she thinks she's sleuthy – [Bailey] Sleuthing? – No sleuthy, it's an adjective not a noun – [Mindy] I don't think so
I don't know – [Bailey] Sleuthy is not an adjective Sleuthing – No I just made it up, sleuthy
– [Mindy] What was pastel orange against? – Silver and blue, purple and pastel orange and pink and rose gold She has no idea and she won't until her hair is whatever color – [Mindy] She won't know until her hairs orange I mean, not orange – [Bailey] I swear if you rig it and like dye my hair green which wasn't even an option, I will be upset
– [Girl with Glasses] I say we just shave her head – Morning everybody It is the day that I am changing my hair color I still got a little while though, it's the worst because the hair appointment is at like 3:30 I have to wait all day
All day long I still have no idea what colors you guys picked I'm trusting ya'll, please do not do me wrong – Are you sad, are you scared? – Scared – When you get to the salon what we're gonna do is Baileys gonna get blonde put in her hair so the color takes, then we're gonna get her hair cut
Then we are going to cover the mirror with cardboard so that she can not see herself so that it's a surprise And we're gonna give the color to Kaci and she is going to wash in the color and then we're gonna do a big huge reveal of what color Baileys hair is So it's a reveal for ya'll as well as Bailey – Oh my gosh, I swear I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous, I promise you 'Cause I don't get nervous about stuff like this, I get excited! But there's something about not knowing something I'm kind of having like a mild like meltdown But we're fine, it's okay, we're all good
It's all right We're going and it's happening anyway, so Let's go Also on top of all that, we are going to probably hit 6 million sometime tonight I think? And I don't know if it's gonna be while we're in the salon or not but all of you guys are asking us to go live! I can't go live if my hair is colored, so Are you ready to have 6 million subscribers? – I feel like we've been at five million for so long, I don't even know how to say six million
– [Brooklyn] We've got step one, which was straightening the hair and then what are we doing first? – Cutting – [Kaci] We are going to cut – [Brooklyn] The beginnings of Baileys cut Personally, I thought her hair was very long, It was super long – You know it's too long when it starts sticking to your neck
Like anyone who has short hair– – And it's summer which means it's hot which means, I mean my hair is like a blanket Bailey can at least chop hers off, which is nice, I wish Just kidding, I would look too much like you Do the final spin – [Kaci] Yeah – [Brooklyn] I'm just kidding
– Look how gross my hair is – [Brooklyn] I'm making fun of mom – [Mindy] Nice, appreciate that, thank you – [Bailey] Don't show my greasy hair Give us thumbs up if really have greasy hair too
– [Brooklyn] Yeah, 'cause it's like flat to your face right now – Hello (upbeat music) – There were, how many colors, six colors And I kept making fun of Bailey and telling her that I put in an extra poll that said that I put green in there 'cause I, she doesn't want green at all, which is funny because green is her favorite color
I think it would have made her eyes pop, so vote in the poll up here if you think we shoulda just put green in If I shoulda just brought green and then not told you Things are happening here Things are happening – [Bailey] It's not the color yet, that's just, watch, this is putting the blonde that will catch the color conditioner in my hair, right now
They keep joking and saying it's gonna be green and it's not green, you guys wouldn't do that I trust them I trust you – [Mindy] Wouldn't we do that? – This is a really, this is the best angle you could get on my face We're almost done
I never thought my hair was this thick – [Brooklyn] Quite a lot – It's thick with three c's – [Brooklyn] All right, what milestone did we just hit while you look like Medusa? – Six million, here! – [Brooklyn] That's such a pretty picture – And I look like this? Let's keep it up ya'll, let's keep it up
– [Brooklyn] Oh my gosh, look at that thing go! – Six million Brailiers, what's it like? ♪ How can I tell you what I wonder ♪ – [Brooklyn] Are you just dying knowing they're right behind your head and you have no idea what they are? This one, this one, and this one And we're using overtone which is the same like deep conditioning color like treatment that Bailey used for her pink hair – And my purple hair when you did it – [Brooklyn] Oh yeah! Baileys got a little helper, doing her hair in here, hi baby! – Hi (Bailey and Brooklyn giggle) – [Brooklyn] She's got the blond in there now, which means, it's time for us to block the mirrors – And I just found out what we're doing so this whole time I've known nothing (Bailey and Brooklyn laugh) I've been on edge too
– [Brooklyn] The official color here, overtone It's like the deep conditioner – [Mindy] Look at that green – [Brooklyn] So vibrant! She is falling asleep, 'cause you are? – No, you guys told me to keep my eyes closed Okay, I'm not opening my eyes because I don't want to see what color it is, but it's finished! It's there, I don't know what is it, but it's in my hair! – [Brooklyn] Because it's wet, everything just looks dark right now
Hopefully, when it dries, they can get a nice good look at that color! And we can finally reveal it, because that's what Bailey's been waiting for Meanwhile, I got my hair cut, so, it's just been a productive day! – Okay, so I am walking away because we started drying Baileys hair after we put the silver in and surprisingly, it didn't really show up very much I guess her hair is not quite blonde enough to really show the silver and so it showed a little bit, but not a ton and I definitely didn't feel like it was a big enough color change to make it exciting So what we've opted to do is go back to the drawing board we looked at the polls again and because you guys voted blue, silver and rose gold as the top three, she still hasn't seen it and we're going to put blue on top of it and layer the blue to help, kind of, accent and make the silver more exciting Let's see what happens and how it goes, we're crossing our fingers and Baileys definitely gonna be really surprised
– [Brooklyn] Bailey's a little confused on what's happening here 'cause – [Mindy] She has no idea – I just know they're putting two colors in my hair? So apparently we're mixing
– [Brooklyn] Which is fun – They were cracking a joke saying– – [Brooklyn] and totally doable fortunately with overtone But, look at that guys – [Bailey] I'm like aching to open that – [Brooklyn] We made the correct decision, look at that it looks so cool Can you see it, in your hair? – I cannot
(Brooklyn hums mysteriously) – [Brooklyn] This looks so cool – I'm feeling good – [Brooklyn] I am so glad we did this You're gonna love the fans for voting for this – [Kaci] What kind of voting? – [Brooklyn] They voted for both of these and now it's what it is
– [Mindy] They thought they were getting one and they got two! – [Brooklyn] They got two instead! Reveal – I'm so nervous! (Bailey gasps) It's blue! I've been wanting it blue! Oh my gosh, it's like a darker blue – [Brooklyn] Blue and silver! – Did you try and put silver in? – [Brooklyn] Yes – You tried to put silver in? – [Brooklyn] Yes We should have gone whether they liked pink or blue better
– [Mindy] I mean, the nice thing about overtone I guess is that you can layer it, cause it's pretty much just a conditioning wash – [Brooklyn] Okay, this is what we used, it's overtone vibrant blue and it's the deep conditioner for it And you just literally put this in the hair on dry hair, let it sit and then you wash it out – I can't believe its blue – [Mindy] But it's obviously layered over the silver – Hello
♪ Tell me, why'd you have to go ♪ ♪ and drive me so crazy ♪ ♪ Now I feel lost without you ♪ ♪ And I just can't be ♪ ♪ Without you baby ♪ ♪ Want you all night long ♪ ♪ Want you all night long ♪ – [Brooklyn] It looks so good Look at, can you see all the color changes in? There's like little bits of teal and then there's like bit's of blue and then at the ends where the gray came through a little bit It looks really cool Everyone that see's it is like, "Oh my gosh, your hair" – I'm gonna FaceTime Asa, show him my hair 'cause he's been waiting all day long

NewsBusted TV is back after a few weeks off for the holidays. NewsBusted TV is a webcast on news of the day with a comedic slant as seen from the political Right. Among the topics in this episode is Huckabee v. Romney and Hillary's like-ability.
Daily Archives: January 9, 2008
Hillary, Polls and Lessons Learned?
Today's New Hampshire primary election was newsworthy and educational. Imagine a presidential candidate getting a bump for coming across as 'being human.' You don't need the writers guild to take that thought somewhere. Some thought Hillary's emotional moment to be the 'Howard Dean scream' equivalent, however, at least for now, it turned out to be good for her. According to everyone in the media, that was a warm and fuzzy moment, not a breakdown, and it showed she is human. That's the same thing Terry McAuliffe, among the Clintons' closest advisers, is also saying. So everyone agrees that portraying Sen. Clinton as being human is something that was needed, and helpful.
Can we stop paying attention to POLLS? 12 hours ago, Clinton people were lowering expectations, calling less than a 10 point loss would still be good. But that's always the story. When you win you win, and when you lose you win. Turns out she won by 3 percent. Ostensibly a 13 percent reversal. I remember the good old days when these primaries got no more media coverage than reporting who won this one and who won that one. Period. Today, it is the only news for 24/7, and it's only January. I'm beginning to miss car chases on TV, Britney Spears, and the latest on Anna Nichole Smith.
So what did Sen. Hillary Clinton, the most experienced candidate on the planet, with a 35 year record of change and experience, have to say about her victory in New Hampshire? You will be glad to know that just last week she found her own voice. She said . . .
"Over the last week, I listened to you, and in the process I found my own voice"
That's a start.

Stephen Jay Gould's book Wonderful Life is subtitled "The Burgess Shale and the Nature of History". Its twofold perspective discusses a) The Burgess Shale, an extremely fertile lode of fossils from the Cambrian period (characterised as an "explosion" of new life forms), close to the dawn of multicellular animal life; and b) the history of scientific thought on the Burgess and on Cambrian life.
It's a great read - one of my favourite books of the last year. It provides much insight for the general reader into evolution and the history of life, although I have to say that much of what it says makes much more sense after having read a fair bit of background on biology and evolution.
In this post, I will give an outline of the book; in subsequent posts I will comment on some specific issues raised.
The first chapter gives some background on evolutionary thought - more specifically, it goes some of the popular conceptions and misconceptions of evolution. Gould is particularly disparaging of the common depictions of evolution as a series of progressively more complex beings, culminating with humans as a pinnacle of achievement.
The next chapter places the Cambrian period in the context of Earth's history, but more specifically gives some background on the discovery of the Burgess Shale.
The following chapter, comprising the bulk of the book, traces in detail the history of scientific discovery from the Burgess Shale, and in particular the early scientific mis-steps in analysis of the life forms represented by Burgess. It brings us up to date (specifically, to 1989) on the current consensus of scientific opinion on a number of animals that were originally represented as arthropods (the phylum containing diverse animals such as crustaceans, insects, spiders and trilobites). It specifically recounts the reconstruction of a number of very odd creatures - and includes a number of very good illustrations of those creatures made especially for this book.
However, the journey - for me at least - reaches its apex with the final, fifth chapter, in which Gould synthesises a number of lessons learnt from the study - particularly via some of his own research in several earlier papers. This chapter outlines a number of significant insights, discussion points - and contentions that are or should be contentious at least. This chapter provides much food for thought, which I hope to canvas shortly.

Are you looking to buy a BMW in Columbia South Carolina?
If you are looking for the best BMW car dealerships Columbia SC has to offer to buy a BMW certified pre-owned vehicle or BMW car, truck, or SUV but just are not sure exactly where to find them, this article was written just for you!
Today not only will you learn about the best BMW Columbia dealerships that offer test drives, scheduled service appointments, certified technicians, auto financing for finance applications, and an excellent customer service department that will provide you with the best car buying and shopping experience possible by helping you find the right car.
To take a look at the most reliable BMW you can buy, be sure to watch the following video:
What To Expect From Columbia, SC BMW Dealerships
In the automotive industry, BMW is often recognized as a leader in terms of performance and luxury and is one of the most well-known brands in the world. Although they are known for their strength and comfort, they are also known for their relatively high prices and general maintenance requirements.
After all, these are not ordinary machines, but precision mixtures are designed with precision parts. Modern reflections of BMW and Mercedes are both strong and comfortable, but professionals and experienced technicians are needed to keep these vehicles in good condition.
Service centers are just 10 cents, on each main street and around many angles that you can see. But before you dive into your head first, you'll be sure that your car will receive the treatment you deserve. The fact is that most of these stores are not even worth considering and have no qualifications to carry out maintenance and repair work on any import vehicle
As a driver of a specific group of vehicles, you need experienced technicians trained in the factory and certified so that they can be sponsored, and this does not necessarily mean that you are resorting to an agency. Some dealerships try to attract attention with very cheap services and offer that look so good that they are probably difficult to verify.
In the dealerships service industry, especially with European imports, in many respects, you get what you pay for, and although stores that are legally capable are sometimes more expensive, the level of services is good.
Transparency with the client is an important aspect of building a lasting relationship. Many dealers will sneak into hidden charges that are not explicitly mentioned in the receipt. If your service store does not complete the option review and asks for approval before performing any task, it may be time to look for another service.
In addition, no branch that guarantees their work or security for their parts or services can not be trusted.
The Benefits of having a BMW
Different people have different tastes when it comes to the cars of their dreams. BMW cars are one of the best car models that you can choose. The brand is associated with luxury, comfort and all the beautiful things in life.
If it is a desirable vehicle, it is best to buy it at the dealership. It is recommended to buy a new car compared to a used car.
If you think that owning a BMW is an opportunity only for the rich, you are wrong. The truth is that even you can own and run a high-quality luxury car, like BMW, if you really want it. But the truth is that if you want to have a BMW today, you just have to give up the "new" thing and buy a BMW at a much lower price. Cheap BMWs offer the perfect opportunity to own and eventually drive your dream car.
BMW is one of the most prestigious luxury cars in the world. It is a German brand that symbolizes the Bavarian car factory, known for its excellent quality and sporty appearance. Being a luxury car, most of its new prices are expensive, making it only available to rich and famous. The new BMW has always been the favorite choice of car enthusiasts.
However, there are a few things you need to know about why buying a new car is always better than buying an old car. There are very few people in the world who are not fanatics and do not like having a new BMW. Some people have money to buy a new BMW car, others can not afford to pay a lot when buying an old BMW car.
However, people are very excited about buying a new car, but there are some important things that you should know before buying a new BMW version. These are some of the best things to keep in mind when answering the question of why the new BMW is better than its older counterpart.
Buying a new BMW from the dealership gives you the added benefit of getting all kinds of financial benefits in the form of discounts, insurance, maintenance, etc. You can easily choose your preferred payment method without much hassle.
Another important part of buying a new BMW car is that you will get all kinds of leasing and financing options from various car loan providers. There are advantageous financing options that allow BMW buyers for the first time to get very low-interest rates, which allows them to pay in a convenient way.
Buying a new BMW instead of buying an old BMW means that you can enjoy the benefits of current marketing and sales events. You also have the opportunity to conduct a pilot test of some new and upcoming models from dealerships. In addition, the new car always has an advantage over older or used vehicles due to the advanced engine and new fuel consumption as well as a number of other advanced features.
Used cars do not have these advanced features like new cars because of their old versions of engines used by previous owners. What's more, older cars require a lot of maintenance and repair if they are not properly maintained. So you can lose enough money to repair them, which is not the case with the new BMW.
Also when purchasing an old car you lack elegance, functionality, size, shape, function, and color, which will not be a problem when buying a new BMW. Therefore, people always prefer to buy a new car instead of buying an old car. So, before you choose, you have to consider all these things carefully.
Disadvantages of owning a BMW
Everyone who owns it must understand that BMW problems do not have to be repaired in any other vehicle. These beautiful cars are not produced in the same way as Honda or Ford.
Therefore, it is rarely entrusted to a mechanic with only the basic training necessary to run such public vehicles. Even when it comes to something as simple as an oil change, there is a lot of evidence that you should take your car to a specialist mechanic. The next time you consider Beamer withdrawing to the local lubrication job store for 5 minutes, here are some things to consider.
One of the basic concepts of BMW repair is that they do not have to replace oil, as in most other cars. It works on synthetic oil that burns the cleaner and provides the engine with many benefits. Although you can get synthetic oil in the oil change shop (if you remember to ask for it), this 3000-mile sticker is likely to hit the windshield.
If you ignore it, you are looking for one who is more interested in running a business in a certain way than offering specialized services to their clients. It may not matter, but it is a symptom of a bigger problem.
Additional Maintenance
One of the best reasons to get into a car to replace oil first (as opposed to self-handling), is to carry out additional tests and maintenance that correspond to the service. But the last thing you want is for some oil change technicians to repair BMW repairs. He probably did not know what he was talking about! On the other hand, if you take Beamer with an accredited mechanic, you can make sure that he does not start recommending things that are not related to the maintenance plan.
The Right Tools
BMW repair, which is done correctly, requires special tools that will not work on other vehicles. Because of this, most stores are not the owner. You can use BMW with many car tools, but you risk breaking something important in the process.
Do not take this opportunity. You did not pay for a luxury car hidden by someone who did not know the difference between Volkswagen and Audi. Take a place where crafts that come into one of these vehicles are respected.
The lighting of BMW Xenon lamps at 12,000 Kelvin and UV xenon lamps can be adjusted to 10,000 Kelvin. When you decide to buy information and products for repair, the choice is yours. There is a whole range of suppliers that offer software downloads to increase power and torque and to lift the maximum speed limit and raise the limit per minute. It is as durable as steel, but it weighs significantly less.
There are many great user groups consisting of several thousand BMW owners. The cost should not be the most important factor for you, because this service can usually be done for less than 20 years.
As soon as you look at the new BMW 3 M3 series, you will immediately notice that a surprising innovation awaits you in the interior of high-quality wood and full-color material complementing the titanium or aluminum plate, which generously emphasizes the interior of the car generously. Many BMW accessories are available on the market, but getting the original is not easy.
Needless to say, technicians at the dealerships will know your car parts better than you, and they will even help you replace OEM parts. The price is higher than you want to pay, so you can try to buy spare parts online. There is no question why BMW does not work anywhere.
The Internet has hundreds of online car parts suppliers offering lower prices at a BMW dealer. The cost should not be the most important factor, as this service can usually be carried out for 20 years. Make sure the system is flowing and has a new liquid.
All these entities need to be met to get the desired, clean and dynamic car, but they work well in everyday driving. It depends on the course of the car and the type of mileage, e.g. DC compared to the motorway.

Welcome To The DollhouseJanuary 27, 2009
am only lucky enough to own one piece of Dollface clothing, acquired through an old merchant known only as senor Ebay. They have been around for ages, had season upon season of new lines, yet I have never seen one piece of their clothing in American boutiques. Over the top detail with a simple color pallate, this designer definitely deserves an eyeball.

Political pundits all over the world are busy weighing in on the actions of Edward Snowden, the former CIA technical contractor who just blew the lid off a government spying conspiracy.
By disclosing top-secret materials from one of the world's most secretive agencies, the NSA, Snowden will join the ranks of Mark Felt, Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning as a man who willingly gave up all the comforts and security of his life in an attempt to hold his government accountable for its underhanded expansion of power.
Snowden is sure to be characterised with equal parts disdain and praise for his actions, and if Hollywood is anything to go by, we can expect a multimillion-dollar adaptation of his exploits once all the details of his rogue operation come to light.
As Snowden plans to travel from Moscow to Havana, Cuba, all eyes are on him. He recently left a gaggle of journalists high and dry after failing to board a flight to Cuba. He is expected to board another flight on Monday.
In the meantime, take a look at 10 other infamous whistleblowers who received the Hollywood treatment.
10. Serpico
Al Pacino plays real-life undercover cop Frank Serpico, a man struggling to maintain his integrity for over a decade while trying to expose the rampant corruption in his police force.
9. The Informant
Few whistleblowers are as cheerfully awkward as Matt Damon's Mark Whitacre, a rising biochemist who exposed the lysine price-fixing scandal of '90s.
8. North Country
North Country Based on the landmark case that forever changed sexual harassment laws, this film scored Charlize Theron her second Academy Award nomination for her role as a young mother trying to earn a living in the town's iron mines where she routinely faces verbal, physical and sexual harassment.

As trailed in last month's blog, our summer staff conference activities featured a bake off competition which I had the privilege of judging, alongside our Chief Operating Officer Sharon Billingham. All 13 cakes were absolutely marvellous! It was part of a week of activities which brought our staff together. Sadly, I was unable to participate in the Zumba, tea dance and yoga classes but I did struggle along to the pub quiz!
I would like to congratulate Ellie Southwood on being confirmed as the new Chair of the Board of Trustees at Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) last week. We're increasingly collaborating with RNIB in areas including Vision UK, technology, research, policy and advocacy, and I look forward to continuing and building further on our joint-working.
In some ways it feels like we're in the summer "silly season" at the moment, as a lot of people are away on holidays so there is a lull in committee meetings and collaborative activities. This period gives us time to reflect on the progress we've made and think about our plans moving forward. When we get back into the swing of things in September it will be time to put pen to paper on our operating plans for 2018, and beyond, and I'm greatly looking forward to working with all staff on that and making sure peoples own objectives and activities all have a clear line of sight to the charity's key priorities.
In my blog in June I spoke about our six emerging priorities – evidence, advocacy, networks, rehabilitation, employment and technology – and the good news is they're still the same!
Finally, I hope we haven't seen the last of summer and we get plenty more sunny weather this month!

"How To Deal With Criticism From Your Sales Manager"Jeremy J Ulmer
October 25, 2011 — 952 views
Criticism from your sales manager (or from anyone) is not easy to handle, however, learning to deal with it can be a valuable skill. Here are some ideas to practice and keep in mind next time you receive criticism.
Take A Deep Breath & Pause Before You React
Take A Deep Breath & Pause Before You React
If your first reaction is to lash back at your sales manager or to become defensive, take a moment before speaking. It is natural to feel a little angry or to be on-guard. However, if you can teach yourself to take a moment before simply reacting, it will give a chance for logic to sink in and not just raw emotions. There is certainly nothing wrong with emotions, but when people are upset, they are more likely to say things they will regret later on.
Turn Lemons Into Lemonade
Sure, it may sting to hear negative feedback, but in most criticism, you can find a suggestion for improvement. For example, this criticism: "You are talking too much on your sales calls with prospective clients and just overloading them with too much information." Can be interpreted as: "I need to listen much more, ask more questions, and talk less." That's just one example of course — you can do that with just about any criticism. View criticism as challenge to improve your sales skills.
Say, "Thank You For The Feedback."
Even if your boss is tough on you, just say "Thank you." Your gratitude will probably catch them off-guard and they may even respect you more for taking it so well. Not everyone is as positive as you may be, and your manager might just be having a bad day, (not an excuse, but be aware of this) or have a much more negative personality than you.
Learn And Integrate
After seeing criticism in a positive light, and thanking the critic, don't just go back to selling as usual. Decide what the key take-away is to improve upon, and determine how to integrate the new learning into your work.
Don't Stoop Down To His or Her Level
It is so easy to take criticism as a personal attack. View the criticisms as an attack on your sales skills, not on you as a human being. You will be tempted to attack the attacker, but if you do this, you are just stooping to his or her level. When you do this, you are no better than the attacker and it will leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. Be the bigger and better person. Rise above the critical comments and respond in a calm and positive manner…You will feel better about yourself at the end of the day.
Give The Critic Some Background When Needed
Sometimes the situation might be much more complex than it appears on the surface. After you have followed the above steps, know that is OK to give more background that might be important for the critic to understand. For instance, You could say, "I understand what you're saying, thank you for the feedback, and I want to make this work. But last time I tried what you are recommending, it didn't work because of ________. What do you suggest I do to make it work this time?"
Bonus Tip: Keep All Of This In Mind When YOU Are The Critic
Remember what it feels like to be on the receiving end of criticism when you are the one dishing it out. Not everyone will handle it as well as you, so make sure you are clear that you simply want to help.

This post was sponsored by Amazon as part of an Ambassador Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
My favorite things about the holiday season are the simple traditions my family and I have created. To kick off the season we decorate the tree together while listening to fun Christmas music. Throughout the month we bake cookies, watch movies, and read holiday themed books. This year I wanted to add some more festive fun to our holiday traditions. Find out how we took our traditions and made them feel new again thanks to the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet.
Traditions Made New With The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet
During the holidays my daughter loves to cozy up in her pajamas and read some books together. She recently came in her room and found an early Christmas surprise next to her bed, the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet.
The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet provides educational and entertaining content kids (and even adults) love.
I watched the excitement on her face when she learned that thanks to this device we could read plus listen to some of her favorite holiday books, watch movies, play games and so much more.
I opened up the box, took out the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet inside of its bright yellow kid-proof case and then my daughter hopped into bed with it.
We cuddled up together and had so much fun experiencing our tradition made new by seeing books like, If You Give A Mouse A Christmas Cookie, and videos like, Arthur's Perfect Christmas, come to life on the screen.
Next she downloaded a few holiday books, shows and games to use in offline mode since we will be on the road traveling around Christmas.
Before my daughter went to sleep we even played two games called:
- Santa Claus Game
- Christmas Hair Salon – Santa's Barbershop & Kids Cuts
It was a priceless moment when she finally fell asleep while still holding on tightly to the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet just like she usually does with her books.
Amazon FreeTime and the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet Provides Parents with a Priceless Gift — Peace of Mind
Thanks to the Parental Control settings in FreeTime, parents can set time limits, adjust age filters, enable/disable web browser access, and choose whether to allow in-app purchasing.
Bedtime is one of our favorite parental control settings. We simply set a certain time for FreeTime to shut down for the day, and that makes it easier to let our daughter read safely with the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet in bed.
Amazon FreeTime has a Parent Dashboard (also available in Spanish) which lets parents review the digital content their kids are using. You can manage time limits, set educational goals and also remotely adjust your child's FreeTime settings.
The remote parental control settings are perfect, especially for when you aren't there with your child while they are learning and playing on their Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet.
Fire Kids Edition tablets
There are three Fire Kids Edition tablets to choose from:
- Fire 7 Kids Edition ($99.99)
- Fire HD 8 Kids Edition ($129.99)
- Fire HD 10 Kids Edition ($199.99)
Each Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet includes a kid-safe bumper in blue, pink, or yellow, one year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited, and a two-year worry-free guarantee. This provides access to over 20,000 books, videos, Audible books, educational apps, and games that are age-appropriate, which is so important to me, especially when tech can often be unsafe.
The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet is the gift that keeps on giving while also encouraging and enhancing your holiday traditions.
What would your child enjoy doing most, playing festive games, reading, or listening to holiday Audible books?

ESTERO, FL – Steven Lorentz and Justin Kea each scored but it was not enough as the South Carolina Stingrays defeated the Florida Everblades 4-2 Wednesday night in front of 4,584 fans at Germain Arena. The Wednesday night Stingrays win snapped the 'Blades' 12-game point-streak.
The Stingrays owned the first period of play and secured goals by Joey Leach and Joe Devin against 'Blades netminder Callum Booth.
Lorentz put the 'Blades on the board 8:26 into the second off a feed from Joe Cox and Josh Wesley. The tally was Lorentz's third of the year.
Exiting the second intermission, Kea riffled a shot past Stingrays goaltender Parker Milner off a pass from Quentin Shore and Brett Bulmer. Five minutes later, the Stingrays secured the lead with a goal by Patrick Gaul, who was playing in his 300th ECHL game. With 92 seconds remaining, Joey Leach ended the 'Blades chances sending a shot into the back of the net to lift the Stingrays to the 4-2 win.
The Stingrays will remain in Florida for two more battles against the 'Blades when they return to the ice on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 7:00 p.m.

We investigated an early stage of laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS) formation to elucidate the contribution of defects on the formation. 4H-SiC crystals were irradiated by multiple pulses of femtosecond laser with different laser spot sizes. We observed the decrease in formation thresholds of high-spatial-frequency LIPSS (HSFL) and low-spatial-frequency LIPSS (LSFL) with the increased irradiated laser spot size. For smaller laser spot size, HSFL was only formed at the periphery of LSFL formation area, whereas for larger spot size, HSFL was randomly distributed within the laser spot. Our results are coincident with the hypothesis that the existence of defects in crystal contributes to the early stage on the formation of LIPSS, in which the electron excitation via one or two photon absorption in a defect site cause local nanoablation at a laser fluence under the intrinsic ablation threshold, followed by the formation of a nanovoid, which act as a scatterer, and interference of scattered wave and laser pulses lead to HSFL formation.

Motion pictures and jazz were both born around the dawn of the 20th century. But did Hollywood ever get the music right? Take "Syncopation" (1942), a snappily titled, wildly ambitious jazz chronicle that might be the last thing you'd expect from Warner Bros.' German-born workhorse, William Dieterle (1893-1972).
Best remembered for plodding prestige pictures like "The Life of Emile Zola" (1937), movies James Agee characterized in The Nation as a "high-minded, high-polished mélange of heavy 'touches' and 'intelligent' performances," Dieterle has been typecast as a snobbish martinet. Still, he has a few surprises in his lengthy résumé, and "Syncopation," out on Blu-ray and DVD in a beautiful digital restoration from Cohen Media, is one.
Filmed during Dieterle's brief period as an independent producer at RKO (when his anti-fascist politics and friendship with German refugees made him a person of interest for the F.B.I.), "Syncopation" belongs to a cycle of movies — begun just before the United States entered World War II — that sought to integrate jazz into mainstream American culture. What sets "Syncopation" apart from "Blues in the Night" and "Birth of the Blues" (both 1941) is its emphasis on jazz as an intrinsically African-American art form and what Sidney Finkelstein, who wrote on jazz for Daily Worker, would call "a people's music."
Thus, "Syncopation" begins with a vivid montage that segues from a West African village to 1906 New Orleans by way of the slave trade, the Middle Passage and the cotton fields. Well-meaning, if condescending, the movie establishes a particular lineage. The music's founding father is modeled on King Oliver and played by an uncredited Rex Stewart (a cornetist with the Duke Ellington orchestra); his hot solos inspire a young boy (who grows into Todd Duncan, Porgy in the original Broadway production of "Porgy and Bess") and, through him, the inevitable white protagonists, Jackie Cooper and Bonita Granville.
Jazz is America singing. Granville's character, who establishes her intellectual bona fides, as well as Dieterle's, by her oft-cited appreciation for Walt Whitman, is busted for playing boogie-woogie piano at a Chicago rent party. In the movie's nuttiest scene, she's put on trial and, managing to have her piano introduced as evidence, soon has the court doing the time step. Although "Syncopation" tries to inoculate itself by mocking a society orchestra modeled on Paul Whiteman's, it abruptly abandons its black musicians before jazz reaches New York's 52nd Street and mutates into swing or what, writing on jazz in Partisan Review, Agee would term "pseudo-folk." The final sequence features the singer Connie Boswell and winds up with a frantic cameo by a combo of white all-stars (Benny Goodman, Harry James and Gene Krupa among them).
The finale is doubly depressing in that Dieterle hoped to justify his title with a genuinely offbeat (and it would seem far longer) movie. Philip Yordan, who worked on the screenplay, remembered Dieterle's seeking to twin "the rise of modern architecture and the rise of jazz." The writer found the idea nonsensical, although it was commonplace in the 1920s. (John Alden Carpenter's 1927 jazz ballet "Skyscrapers" is only one example.) Even so, a few heroic montages aside, no such thinking remains in the movie. Two months before "Syncopation" was released, Dieterle screened it for his friend Bertolt Brecht, then in Hollywood. According to Brecht's journal, Dieterle bemoaned the power of his financial backers, "forcing him to cut out as many negroes [sic] as possible" in favor of more "boy meets girl."
Although "Syncopation" eventually de-emphasizes the African-American centrality of jazz, the disc redresses the situation somewhat with nine vintage shorts, three starring Ellington. Treated with relative dignity, Ellington plays himself as a working composer. "A Bundle of Blues" (1933) and "Symphony in Black: A Rhapsody of Negro Life" (1935), both made by Paramount, include performances by Ivie Anderson and Billie Holiday. The independently produced "Black and Tan Fantasy" (1929) is a mini-melodrama featuring Fredi Washington as a doomed nightclub dancer. Artier than the Paramount shorts, it was directed by Dudley Murphy, who several years earlier collaborated on "Ballet Mécanique" with the French painter Fernand Léger, and also directed the majestic Bessie Smith in "St. Louis Blues" (1929) — an essential artifact despite the unpleasant spectacle of her being forced to dramatize her own humiliation.
No less offensive but also more astonishing, Paramount's "Rhapsody in Black and Blue" (1932) is a showcase for the young Louis Armstrong, bare-chested and cloaked in leopard skin on a Deco set representing the Kingdom of Jazzmania. Through sheer force of personality and musical genius, he triumphs over the degrading premise and dubious quality of his material — one way to characterize the power of jazz.
'The Connection'
Another artifact, reveling in a later form of jazz exoticism, "The Connection" — Shirley Clarke's 1962 adaptation of Jack Gelber's Off Broadway blockbuster — has been released by Milestone on Blu-ray and DVD. Clarke's notably self-assured and elaborately self-conscious first feature made a splash at the Cannes Film Festival and became a cause célèbre back home, banned for using an obscenity, here as a term for heroin.
As originally staged by the Living Theater, "The Connection" was a hip "Waiting for Godot" in which a group of histrionic heroin addicts and a rehearsing jazz combo hang around a cold-water loft anticipating the arrival of their daily fix. Ms. Clarke framed her movie as a fictional documentary of the scene, complete with clueless filmmaker; it's notable both for documenting the original production and the quartet assembled by the pianist-composer Freddie Redd. Interviewed at length for one of the disc's bonus supplements, Mr. Redd gives a pithy account of the movie's making and his own life as a jazz artist.
EXPOSED Combining backstage interviews with onstage performances, the downtown director Beth B documents the New Burlesque as a liberating form of performance art. "There is also a great deal of joy, and while these lubricious entertainers are making political points by pulling American flags from unlikely locations, or dancing a beautiful dark ballet with a severed hand, they're mostly just interested in showing us a really good time," Jeannette Catsoulis wrote in The New York Times in March 2014. Available on DVD. (Zeitgeist)
ROPE OF SAND One of William Dieterle's last Hollywood movies (and possibly the craziest) is a violent film noir from 1949 set in the Kalahari desert. Burt Lancaster heads a cast that includes three veterans of "Casablanca": Peter Lorre, Claude Rains and Paul Henreid, outstanding as the movie's crypto-fascist villain. On Blu-ray, DVD and Amazon Instant Video. (Olive)
TRAITORS Sean Gullette's first feature, shown at film festivals but never released here, concerns the leader of an all-female punk-rock band who finances her recording session by bringing a shipment of drugs from the Rif mountains to Tangier. On DVD and Amazon Instant Video. (Film Movement)
THROUGH A LENS DARKLY Thomas Allen Harris's history of African-American photography is both a chronicle of and testament to the power of self-representation. "Mr. Harris's film is a family memoir, a tribute to unsung artists and a lyrical, at times heartbroken, meditation on imagery and identity," A. O. Scott wrote in The Times in August. On DVD, iTunes and Netflix. (First Run Features)
WHIPLASH The title of the writer-director Damien Chazelle's dynamic second feature might describe J. K. Simmons's Oscar-winning performance as the scariest instructor in a Juilliard-like music conservatory. "The long, intricate final scene transcends psychological drama with a surge of pure musical inspiration, pushing the audience's response from curiosity to empathy to awe," Mr. Scott wrote in The Times in October. On Blu-ray, DVD and Amazon Instant Video. (Sony Pictures Classics)

So here's a little bit about me…I recently relocated from Dayton, Ohio to the Silicon Valley/San Francisco Bay area (Mountain View) with my hubby and 5 year old son! We are loving California and our new area so very much! We, of course, LOVE the amazing weather and beautiful surroundings, and the sunshine! It has been an amazing experience so far! Moving across the country and learning all sorts of new things has truly been a wonderful and eye-opening adventure! While we miss our friends and family dearly, we are so very happy in our new home!
I could walk you through all of my likes…trust me..it's a lot! The Ocean. Basketball (Go Dayton Flyers! and Duke!) Snow. Sand. Friends. Family. "Fixer Upper" – Chip and Joanna Gaines are my heroes! Laughter. Sushi. Amazing fonts. My iPhone. Everything Apple. And of course photography. Navy blue. Sugar free vanilla lattes. You get the idea! Seriously, I could keep going!
I have been taking photographs almost my whole life! I recently found some old photos from my childhood that I know were snapped with my moms borrowed camera or one of those disposable cameras I was always saving up to buy! I think I probably had a 1000 of those booklets of photos that you get back once you turned in the disposable camera to get processed. EEEK! 🙂 About 10 years ago, I had an amazing opportunity to be a second photographer at weddings (not the main photographer but a helper who also takes pictures!) working alongside an amazing friend (Thanks Ashley!!)…I was able to learn so much from her and really owe a lot to her! I doubt I would be where I am no without her allowing me to help and learn from her! 😉
After my son was born, weddings no longer fit well into my life as a new mom and my interest to create amazing, natural, storytelling images intensified after having my son, like most photographers and I have been obsessed ever since! I find myself drawn to life-inspired family, newborn, child! As a [lifestyle] family photographer, I want to document life-inspired moments! I love capturing the true moments of love and laughter families share! Every family is so unique and I aim to capture each family as they are! I have been obsessed with capturing my son in both big moments and also in those every day moments! When I look back on the photos I have taken of him and us as a family, I remember that moment, the feelings I had, what we were going through. I remember the laughter, the love, the tears and meltdowns so vividly from those images. I want you to be able to cherish those images of your family (both the big moments and those ever day ones) and be able to hold on to those memories for years to come!
xoxo, Angela
