After a flat episode last week in Manchester, could WWE step up their game on the go-home show for Survivor Series? With Paige and Charlotte's Divas Championship contract signing, The Brothers of Destruction opening the show, Cesaro and Roman Reigns battling in a World Heavyweight Championship quarter final and a lot more over the three hour show from the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, how did WWE do as we head towards one of their biggest events of the year...lets take a look.
Fast-Forward...The commentary team laying out the four World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Quarter Finals was a quaint way to start Monday Night RAW into 2015, but it gave the viewer a complete view of what to expect over the next three hours...
The Brothers of Destruction ended last week's RAW in Manchester and this week they got to open the show. The Greenville, South Carolina crowd were popping loud for Taker's BONG at the start of his music was a cool moment and The Deadman managed to keep the entire crowd hanging onto his every word, even if the promo was full of mystical gubbins. Bray Wyatt's reply was a similar effort, and through some loud "What?" chants, the Eater of Worlds did manage to pull out a couple of cracking lines, like "After Survivor Series you'll just be remembered as the brothers that I destroyed". The Druids turning on Undertaker and appearing with sheep masks on was a nice visual, even if the attack on B.o.D was a little flat. By the end of the segment, I was much more interested in a clash between B.o.D. and two members of The Wyatt Family than I was previously and that's exactly how a segment like this should make one feel. Here's hoping the match can live up to all the special effects and pyro.
Fast-Forward...The commentary team did a strong job of putting over the previous encounters of Neville and Kevin Owens as we headed into the first match of the night...
Match 1 - WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Quarter Final - "The Man That Gravity Forgot" Neville vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens
This was quality opening contest, that set the tone for the type of show we'd be getting this evening nicely. With a hot crowd that quickly sided with Neville, the pair worked well together to create a number of creative sequences, the Pop-Up Powerbomb escaped into a Reverse Rana standing out in particular. With an on-going story of Neville attempting to put Owens away with the Red Arrow and never quite managing to hit it, despite the crowd willing him on all the way, was easy to follow and the face/heel dynamic kept things simple but effective throughout. There was space perhaps for a little extra time to really up the ante and tell an even stronger story, but as Quarter Final for the World Heavyweight Championship, both men came out looking better than they came in.
Winner - Kevin Owens via pinfall (10 minutes, 45 seconds)
Fast-Forward...During Owens celebration, Michael Cole ran us through the brackets for the tournament, a site that we'd become all too familar with by the end of the night...The coverage of Seth Rollins surgery was a good tie-in with the tournament and hopefully we'll see The Architect back in the ring sooner rather than later...R-Truth was stupidly over in his entrance, but Byron Saxton joining in on the "What's Up?" chant was cringey...Truth's contest with Tyler Breeze did a lot in a short space of time, with Prince Pretty picking up the win with the Beauty Shot...The announcers desk was at it again during Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose's entrance, putting over each man's relationship with the World Heavyweight Championship well.
Match 3 - WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Quarter Final - Dolph Ziggler vs. Dean Ambrose
This could have been a bit of a disaster. By that I'm certainly not doubting either man's abilities in the ring, but judging by the crowd's reactions to the first to match, Greenville seems like a town that loves cheering their babyfaces, so I was a little tentative about how the sound scape of the bout would be. I needn't have worried, Ambrose and Ziggler held the crowd throughout the 16 minute contest. They worked an intriguingly slow pace early doors, adding layers of complexity into the bout as things progressed, gathering up more content like a snowball rolling down a hill. Back and forth with lots of near falls and a split crowd, you can't ask much more for a television contest, can you? Like the previous tournament bout, both men came out of the contest all the better for being a part of it, even if Ziggler did the job clean following Dirty Deeds.
Winner - Dean Ambrose via pinfall (16 minutes, 45 seconds)
Fast-Forward...Ambrose's post match promo was blisteringly captivating and his promise of "putting Michael Cole in a fish tank" if he won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on Sunday should surely be enough for anyone to will on the Lunatic Fringe...
Don't you dare be sour! Yes, it wouldn't be RAW anymore without a New Day promo, would it? The threesome put on another entertaining display, as they complained about the lack of coverage their 1st anniversary as a team was getting. With a little bit of continuiation of their feud with The Usos thrown in for good measure and reference to some thing called "Booty Juice" what wasn't to like about the WWE Tag Team Champions sermon?
Match 4 - Six Man Tag Team - Ryback & The Usos vs. The New Day
This was an enjoyable six man tag team contest, but unfortunately we only got half of the bout. The New Day continued to work their arses off, with plenty of trash-talking as they dominated Jey Uso and worked quick tags. During the old school heel antics, the crowd got more and more behind Ryback, who was in desperate need of a rebuild following having to job to Kalisto on Smackdown. I'd suggest that because of this, WWE decided to have Ryback run in to take out the New Day after one trick too many, but it did leave a match that seemed to be heading in the right direction feeling rather flat.
Winners - The New Day via Disqualification (5 minutes, 47 seconds)
Fast-Forward....Ryback destroying The New Day was again a very transparent way to protect the former Intercontinental Champion, but I'm not sure it should have been done at the expense of the tag champs...Michael Cole and co pushed the benefits of watching Survivor Series on the WWE Network as opposed to PPV, a real treat for wrestling fans...Triple H and Cesaro's backstage segment was an interesting one, with Trips seemingly push The Swiss Superman on to "grab the brass ring"...Roman Reigns pre-match promo was the shits with the Samoan seemingly attempting to destroy the English language...
Match 5 - WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Quarter Final - Cesaro vs. Roman Reigns
I was surprised to see this not go on last, seeing how strongly Roman Reigns has been pushed on television over the last month. However, it certainly didn't effect the tie, as both men worked hard for each and put on another cracking quarter final contest. Cesaro looked great early door with a series of quick reversals and movements, that made him look more than capable of hanging with now bonafide main eventer Reigns. If you're not convinced by Reigns as an in-ring performers yet, there's probably little I can do here, but the selling of his injured arm, after hitting the ring post, brought an extra dimension to things. It certainly turned Cesaro's Sharpshooter transitioned into a Crossface look even more special. The third contest in a row where both men managed to come out of the match looking better than they did going in.
Similar to the Ziggler vs. Ambrose, the crowd could have made or broken this match. Had this been in one of the more "cool" wrestling cities, it perhaps wouldn't have had the same energy behind it. Part of the crowd were behind Reigns, part of the crowd was behind Cesaro and that suited the hard-hitting, alternating contest. The reactions to the various near falls as the bout picked up steam heading towards the finished told you all you needed to know. Everyone involved in the match (including the referee who put in a brilliant performance) took what was in it's essence a pretty predictable win for Reigns into a clash that Cesaro looked like he could have won at various points, non-more so that a backslide reversal of Reigns' signature Superman Punch.
Winner - Roman Reigns via pinfall (20 minutes, 23 seconds)
Fast-Forward...A big thumbs up for Reigns post match celebration, as he looked like he'd been through a battle, which only empathises the quality of his victory...The Dudley Boyz went over The Ascension in a short and meaningless piece of tag team filler...The awkward duo of Alberto Del Rio and Zeb Colter were met by Triple H backstage (during an interview with Renee Young) in what was another pretty clumsy moment...I got a strange sense of joy seeing Del Rio struggle with his "Mex-America" flag on the way to the ring, whilst Kalisto handled himself well in an in-vision promo...
Match 7 - WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Quarter Final - Alberto Del Rio with Zeb Colter vs. Kalisto
The final match of the evening was another enjoyable encounter, even if it didn't quite manage to reach the heights of the three tournament bouts that had gone before it. Del Rio looking to put the match away as quickly as possible, whilst trying to hit his Tree of Woe Double Stomp, not only gave the match it's narrative back bone, but also put over Kalisto well, following his surprise victory over Ryback on Smackdown last week. The flurries from Kalisto were worked well and his offence works best in that kind of environment, whilst the closing stages of the bout with Del Rio hitting the Double Stomp was sublime. With an extra five or ten minutes, I've a feeling that this could have found itself in the same area as the other tournament matches.
Winner - Alberto Del Rio via pinfall (10 minutes, 5 seconds)
Fast-Forward...The three amigos pushed the WWE Network's Undertaker Week...
A Diva's contract signing to close Monday Night RAW? Can you imagine that happened two or three years ago? The girls needed to hit it out of the park to make sure there was no real argument against the Diva's Revolution occurring this year. Paige and Charlotte got their characters spot on and whilst there will come a time when Charlotte will have to look for something other than her family for content, it made perfect sense to do so in Carolina. Paige's words about Charlotte's late brother, Reid, seem to have pissed off a lot of people (Including Charlotte's Mother) but it really made me want to see Charlotte beat the living piss out of the Norwich lass...surely the exact reaction I should have been having? Heels are supposed to get under peoples skin and if Paige's comments offended you, then she was doing her job right. Both women looked comfortable closing the show and I'm hoping that they are afforded the opportunity to do so again over the next few months.
ATPW Scale Rating - 6.69/10 - Very Good, almost Superb TV
After last week's blip, this was another strong offering from WWE. In my opinion, this was the strongest we've seen Monday Night RAW in the bumpy build-up towards Survivor Series. The tournament quarter finals were all given plenty of time and a tournament that seemed to be lacking in star power heading in managed to raise the profile of pretty much everyone involved in those contests. With two very different segments book-ending the show, the Survivor Series card was promoted strongly and even though I'd side with the opener being the strongest of the two, it was great to see Paige and Charlotte getting the chance to close the programme.
A big shout out to the Greenville crowd who were excellent throughout. More crowds like this one please.
Here's hoping WWE can continue this form into Survivor Series on Sunday!

Sure, we definitely encourage you to discover Amsterdam's rich nightlife, awesome must-see clubs and incredible festivals. But we do not encourage tourists to spend the rest of the day in bed, when there's so much culture, great food and beautiful places to see in the city. So if you're spending only a weekend in Amsterdam, be inspired by these tips and make the most of your Dutch citytrip! We know what to do in Amsterdam in one weekend! Here's how we imagine your 48 hours in Amsterdam…
FRIDAY NIGHT: Spend the night at Volkshotel
A newly opened, five-floor hotel with 172 top-end rooms, a café, nightclub, exhibition space, restaurant, sauna, hot-tubs and rooftop cocktail bar. Sounds like heaven, right? There's even more good stuff about the Volkshotel, because club Doka in the basement and restaurant & nightclub Canvas on the 7th floor invite you for lots of nightly adventures. The view over Amsterdam is breath-taking, and with everything you need under one roof, the Volkshotel might just be the perfect hide-out during your Amsterdam weekend.
SATURDAY: Get the best Amsterdam coffee and bike like the locals
Shake off that hangover and head out – Amsterdam's waiting for you! Rent a bike on whatever streetcorner you can find a rental place and head off to the Jan Evertsenstraat in Amsterdam neighborhood De Baarsjes – you'll find White Label Coffee there. Take one on the go, or sit down and enjoy breakfast, sipping a delicious cup of shut-the-fck-up-until-I've-finished-this and bring your favorite coffee bean blend as a souvenir.
Visit the royal zoo of Artis
No matter what age you are or how childish your friends might think you are, you're never too old for a trip to the Zoo. The Artis Zoo was the first one to be established in The Netherlands and it's located right in the city center. Perfect for your weekend in Amsterdam. Behave like the monkeys, wiggle like the penguins and roar like a lion. What happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam (unless your friends have the footage!).
Clubbing at De School
We've told you before and we'll tell you again. De School is THE must-see club when you're in Amsterdam! Grab tickets online or make it to the club early, so you won't be missing out on their delicious serving of underground heroes or international names. It's an old school building, so plenty of sneaky corners to snug and bring out your inner Britney Spears, the techno-version that is.
SUNDAY – Bike to NDSM or visit one of Amsterdam's roaring festivals!
Ok, ok…it's ok to snooze a couple of hours when you've been partying like the locals. But mind you, Amsterdam isn't going to discover itself. We invite you to step on your bike once more, and we guarantee you that a visit to the former NDSM Amsterdam ship wharf will get you to regain energy. Only 10 minutes by (free!) ferry, and you'll enjoy restaurants, bars, terraces, skateparks and loads of new & old architecture, all with a view of the IJ-waters. If you'd rather not bike around the city, simply check out party agenda for one of the many festivals happening in and around the city, grab a taxi and party on!
No need to be hipster to enjoy one of the delicious biological & ecological dishes at Café de Ceuvel. It's got an amazing, open-minded atmosphere and is a great place to catch musicians, filmmakers and several other artists perform. But the food, that's what we're in for. Bring the new friends you made over the weekend and end your citytrip to Amsterdam in style!
Or miss your flight and move in with your new bestie and never leave. All up to you. Amsterdam loves you!

Membership Information:
In 1977, the Sub-Section became a Section on Nursing. From 1977 to 1980 membership grew from 34 to 110 members. Membership Guidelines to ATS were revised whereby the status of active membership could be offered to non-doctorally prepared members "of national prominence who have distinguished themselves by making contributions to respiratory disease in research, teaching or clinical practice."
Members in the ATS Subsection on Nursing in 1977 were:
Marilyn M Abraham
|Patsy R Hansen
O Anne Harrison
Doris M Holm
Suzanne Lareau
Gwendolyn McDonald
Sr Regina M Maibusch
Joanne P Meany
Louise M Nett
Margaret A Nield
Margo A Pinney
Elaine I Salkeld
Susan J Smith
Alice M Stein
Laurel A Talabere
Gayle A Traver
Martha L Tyler
Committee Activities
Two Standing Committees existed, the Program and Nominating Committees. The small, but dynamic group of nurses quickly contributed to pulmonary nursing and ATS by developing standards to address timely issues. For example, a subcommittee developed a Position Paper on the Skills of the Health Team Involved in Out of Hospital Care for Patients with COPD (published in ATS NEWS, Summer, 1977 and American Review of Respiratory Disease 1986; 133:948-949) and an ad hoc committee was appointed to develop Standards of Nursing Practice. This Task Force published a draft of the Standards in ATS NEWS, Winter 1978. In 1979, another Task Force developed and published the Role of the Pulmonary Nurse Specialist (ATS NEWS, Fall 1979). The ongoing offering of Special Interest Groups began, whereby nurses with common interests formalized themselves into groups. The first two Special Interest Groups to form were the Pediatric Nurses and Faculty of Graduate Programs. The pediatric group began work on developing a Statement on the Role of the Pediatric Pulmonary Clinical Nurse Specialist (completed in 1982). The Faculty of Graduate Programs began the task of developing a core curriculum. The concept of Special Interest Groups became an important mechanism for networking at the annual meetings.
Program Activities
Abstracts were presented at the Annual Meetings with the Section presenting from 16 to 31. The major themes of the abstracts were: suctioning, postural drainage, tracheostomy care, and psychosocial responses to illness. Two symposia were usually offered on topics such as: research, ethics, nursing diagnosis, and tuberculosis. Several Sunrise Seminars were offered on such topics as: nursing diagnosis, patient compliance, chest therapy, chronic mechanical ventilation, and the consultation process.

New principal named at CM
BETHALTO — Current Civic Memorial High School Dean of Students Aaron Kilpatrick has been named principal at the school. He will take over for current principal Justin Newell, who is moving to a new job in the Bethalto School District's central office.
Kilpatrick's appointment was approved at Monday's school board meeting, along with a number of other personnel items.
"I'm excited," Kilpatrick said after the meeting. "It's kind of where I always saw myself going. It maybe happened a little earlier in my career than I expected, but it is what my goal was and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity."
Kilpatrick has been with the district seven years. He started as a special education teacher in the district's alternative school program, then went to the high school for a year before becoming dean of students.
In addition to his work at the high school, he also serves as a part-time dean of students at Trimpe Middle School.
A U.S. Navy veteran, he received his bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and a master's from McKendree University.
"Mr. Kilpatrick has exhibited a genuine passion for the children of Unit 8 and is highly respected by both staff and students," said Assistant Superintendent Jill Griffin in a written statement. "This was demonstrated when his name was announced at the board meeting last night, as the room erupted in applause. Kilpatrick will be an outstanding leader for CM, coupling his enthusiasm for Eagle Nation with his ability to build positive strong relationships with all stakeholders."
The switch is one of several made over the past month in the district.
In late March the board named Griffin as superintendent next year, to replace superintendent Charles Stegall, who is leaving the district for a dual superintendency in St. Ann, Illinois.
Before serving as assistant superintendent Griffin was a building and central office administrator for 10 years. Prior to that she was a first grade and reading recovery teacher.
Newell will join the central office staff as curriculum director. In addition to his stint as CM principal, he has been a dean at Trimpe Middle School, a district technology leader of curriculum, and an assistant principal at CM.
In addition, Barrett Deist will serve as a part-time district business manager as well as his current position as an assistant principal at Trimpe Middle School.
In other business, the board recognized participants in the Young Author's competition.
A total of 19 students won at the state or county levels.
State winners were Aubrey Falk, and Quentin Roose, 3rd graders at Parkside Primary School; and Garrett Wooten, a kindergarten student at Bethalto East Primary School.
County winners were: Kaylea Falk, Lance Farmer and Elise Gates, kindergarten students at Bethalto East Primary; Lizzy Lenger, Jacey Moellering and Makenzie Newell, first-graders at Bethalto East Primary; Rylee Cope, Delaney Griffin, Morgan McCann and Grant Shirley, 2nd-graders at Parkside Primary, Ryan Breyer, Elliana Fiorino, Jayna Halley and Bryce Pryor, 3rd-graders at Parkside Primary; and Chloe Allshouse and Zac Wooten, 4th-graders at Meadowbrook Intermediate.

Recidivist Beer Review
Brewery: Amsterdam Brewing
Style: Barley Wine
Having seen this barleywine listed for several weeks on the beer menu at the Brewhouse, my husband was quite disappointed to suddenly find that it had sold out in less than a week between his visits. Taking to Twitter to express his disappointment, he was informed that there were a few bottles left, and promised that they would let him know when it was back in stock.
Well, we got the good news last week: not only was it back (in limited supply) but Heather had put aside a special bottle just for us to take home. Thank you, Heather! This delicious, honeyed barleywine was a very special treat I am glad I got the chance to try.

Our insane zoning policies cost the economy $1.5 trillion in lost productivity annually:
According to a recent paper by the economists Chang-Tai Hsieh, from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, and Enrico Moretti, from the University of California, Berkeley, local land-use regulations reduce the United States' economic output by as much as $1.5 trillion a year, or about 10 percent lower than it could be.
The problem is especially severe in coastal cities, where zoning policies limit the supply of housing. Based on the cost of materials and local wages, a house in San Francisco should cost less than $300k. But due to artificial land-use restrictions, prices are actually around $1 million. And there is little incentive for local government to lower the price of housing.

Majestic, bold, confident, charming, intelligent, royal, courageous, independent, loyal and affectionate, that's a German Shepherd for you! Elegance personified, German Shepherd is one of the most intelligent and versatile dog breeds, a reason that also makes it the 2nd most popular dog breed in the world.
One of the key factors that determine how a puppy would grow up to be is primarily based on how much time and effort is invested in the puppy by the respective pet parent especially during the nascent years of their lives. A German Shepherd is a strong protective and territorial instinct that needs to be channeled in a way that does not lead to aggression or a headstrong dominant behavior but leads to a healthy and fruitful relationship between the pup and the family.
Training a German Shepherd
German Shepherd is an astute dog breed and excels when it is learning new tricks and commands. Being a Working Dog breed, German Shepherd requires a training regime that is a mix of obedience and agility so that there are ample amount of opportunities to use their intelligence, high levels of energy and independent thinking in a constructive and gratifying manner.

I'm delighted to say Clive has turned to Open Capital (crowd funding) to accelerate the project now.
To my mind its one of the most effective ways of marketing a start-up. Everyone who contributes becomes an advocate. Everyone becomes a part of Clive's team.
I'll let Clive make the pitch himself. He's excellent at the art of persuasion. In fact he's just published The Yes Book (you'll find it on Amazon)...
As you may know, I recently launched LawBit - http://www.lawbit.co.uk/ - an online legal service which provides "simple contracts for small companies". On its launch date in December it was identified by David Cameron as an up and coming service to watch in London's Tech City. You can read more about LawBit and watch a short introduction video here; http://cliverich.com/services/lawbit/.
There are 4.5 million small companies in the UK alone, spending £10 billion per year on legal services, so this is not a small target. LawBit is also scalable internationally. Although there are other online legal offerings, none has LawBit's combination of plain English documents, affordability and functionality.LawBit has currently raised £210,000 for the development of marketing and additional client features and is seeking a further £150,000 on crowd funding platform "Crowdcube" to close this round - http://www.crowdcube.com/. Crowdcube is a very successful fully regulated investment platform which enables non-professional investors to invest in companies in return for shares. Investments range from a few hundred pounds to some thousands – no amount is too small or too big.
LawBit's pitch is now available on Crowdcube here;http://www.crowdcube.com/investment/lawbit-ltd-12638 and I wanted to ask if you would be prepared to pass this note on to anybody who you think might be interested in investing. Of course if you are interested in investing yourself via Crowdcube I would be absolutely delighted for you to be a shareholder and please let me know if you want to discuss the proposition.
You may also be interested in trying out our initial offering to the first 2,000 customers – access to all LawBit contracts and tools for a year for a subscription of just £79. You can find out more about that here; http://www.lawbit.co.uk/offers.
If you are interested in signing up for this offer, it would help our marketing endeavours and reporting if you followed the link here http://tinyurl.com/cb2k5hs.

Weerawit Krueasombut, President of the Patong Entertainment Business Association (PEBA), which represents some 500 entertainment businesses in Phuket's busiest tourism party town, confirmed to The Phuket News today (Oct 9) that members of his association had yet to be informed of any ban on the sale of alcohol this weekend, or on the Monday (Oct 15), which will be the substitution public holiday.
However, Mr Weerawit added, "We have asked our members to be respectful and to have the colour yellow worn to respect King Bhumibol.
"At this stage we have not asked members to do anything more than that, though this may be discussed in more detail soon," he added.
Lt Ekkaluck Plaidong of the Patong Police confirmed today that no official order had been received for police to curtail the sale of alcohol or any other entertainment activities in Patong.
"We are still waiting for the Kathu District Office to hold their meeting about this and inform us of any decisions made. Until then, bar owners can continue with the business as usual," he said.
However, Lt Ekkaluck also cautioned businesses to be respectful of the holiday.
Last year entertainment businesses turned down the music, toned down the performances or closed entirely following an order from the Ministry of Interior to respect the sentiment of the nation for the one-year memorial of the passing of the deeply revered King Bhumibol. (See story here.)
Col Sermpan Sirikong, Deputy Commander of the Phuket Provincial Police, also confirmed that his officers had not yet received any order banning the sale of alcohol over the holidays.
"There has been no circular issued by the Ministry of Interior on this, and as the law mandates currently bans the sale of alcohol only four (religious) holidays and election days, it is up to the operator whether to sell alcohol or not," he said.
"If tourists or other foreigners need to drink they can, but if the operator wants to show respect by closing or suspending some of their services they can, but if they do, then where can tourists or foreigners find a place to drink?" he posed.

This is mainly a note for future reference for myself, since I always seem to have an ABSOLUTE F*CKING NIGHTMARE trying to get Subclipse working on any new install of Eclipse. Thankfully it seems to have got better in the last few months now that Eclipse automatically finds dependencies, and you don't have to realise that Subclipse requires Buckminster, Buckminster requires ECF, and ECF requires Equinox until YOUR HEAD EXPLODES.
Anyway, now all it seems you have to do is select the Tigris update site as per here and select all the Subclipse components.
Then finally, for the magic step that makes it all work that took me about 3 hours searching the internet for, you have to right-click on your project and select Team -> Share.
(Why it couldn't realise that a project is already in subversion by seeing if there were any .svn directories is something I can't answer. There may be good reasons for this).

I'm taking my gift to the "Anything Goes" challenges at Papertake Weekly and Tuesday Alchemy #30. Also, "Anything But A Card" over at Bearly Mine Challenge #51.
|The papers are by Pink Paislee. I've included a little pale blue pencil, purchased in a pack of 5 from Staples.
|For added interest I carefully cut around the leaf and postage stamp and
adhered over the lacey border of the blue CS. For this border I used X-Cut punch.
|The sentiment is from WMS Fancy Phrases set, stamped with Brilliance ink and
layered with a couple of Spellbinder dies.
|On the inside, I continued with the Pink Paislee paper.
|I also decorated the behind to properly finish the project.
The brown ribbon wraps all the the way 'round.
Paper: Pink Paislee "Spring Jubilee"
Stamp: WMS "Fancy Phrases"
Ink: Brilliance "Pearlescent Chocolate"; Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Vintage Photo"
Spellbinder Dies: Classic Ovals LG S4-110; Labels 20 S5-026
Here's the pictutorial on how to construct the base. There are numerous video tutorials out there on YouTube with ideas on how to dress it up.
|You start with a piece of CS measuring 7-3/8" x 3-1/4".
On the long side, score as shown above at 3-1/8", 3-1/2" and 3-7/8" ...
|and crease.
|Fold at 3-1/2" and mark 1" in from top edge and bottom edge.
Then cut in from the fold to the crease line, as shown above.
|Now push in at the fold at the top and ...
|... at the bottom. This will leave you with a valley above and below the cut lines.
|Flip over and face the inside. Apply adhesive on the right halves of the 2 panels that you
pushed in - something strong such as RedLiner tape, Sticky Strip, Scotch Quick Dry or
ScoreTape, which is what I used.
|Press down and you will have a channel for your pen or pencil. And now you can start decorating.

Getting a tantric massage. What to expect?
Tantric massage, what is that exactly? What types of tantric massage are there? What are their benefits? Some of these questions may have arised some time, as it is a relatively new technique in the Western civilisation. Below we will try to answer them and reveal some unknown aspects of the tantric massage, the best treatment you can receive at Shiva Masajes.
What is tantra?
Tantra is a way of understanding life, to develop ourselves as people and to interact with the world. It is a philosophical tradition which arose 5,000 years ago, around the territories that it occupies today in India. Through tantra the person learns to be performed, to reach their personal path, using his energy and sexual desire.
Through knowledge of the Chakras, people can know themselves, and interact with the orb. Sex, as a spiritual energy, it becomes a tool for achieving the perfectly integrated human being. The greater part of the energy of our body is not used, is in a latent state. However, using the pleasure and erotic massage, as tools and motivation, we can evolve, to know ourselves, know our partner, and fully enjoy sex.
What is tantric massage?
The tantric massage is one of the tools used by tantra to achieve the personal fullness. It is erotic massage that arouse the sexual desire and invigorate the relationships. The tantra believes that the human body is a sacred temple and the sex expression of the intercourse divine. The tantric massage offers the possibility of achieving the pleasure, our own and that of the partner, quickly and effectively.
Thanks to the massage performed in zones erotic body to reach a state of physical relaxation and spiritual, in addition to a deep sense of well-being. Sex is the way to relaxation and discovery of one's self, a form of encounter with the sacred through the pleasure.
Within the erotic massage there are two types: the lingam, which refers to the penis, and massage, yoni massage, which owes its name to the female sex. In the tantric massage there is a form of sex that strengthens the bonds of the couple; breaking down the barriers, fears and obstacles that may exist between the two.

What Sells On E-Bay
Below are the 'top' sellers (price wise) on that wonderful auction house ebay. I have had people ask if a record is worth, let's say $100 in the record price guides, then you should be able to get that price for the record if you were to sell it. As I tell all who have read my ebook, "The Fascinating Hobby Of Vinyl Record Collecting," you will only get what someone is willing to pay.
And that also depends on who is buying the record. If it is a record dealer, expect to get about 10-30% of the record price guide value. Why? Because these people are in business to resell the records and make a profit. But let's say you have two or three different collectors bidding on a rare Bob Dylan release that may be listed at $400 in the price guide. The price that the winning bidder may pay could be twice that, especaily in a "bidding war."
There are many other variables that go into the worth of a record. Condition is the most important factor, not only of the record, but the album jacket, picture sleeve and/or contents (for instance, if the record had a special poster or insert inside when it was released). Additionally, the genre of music plays a role. For instance, if you have a rare "Northern Soul" record (and that is a hot commodity right now) you may get more than the 'book value.' Conversely, you may have an old opera recording, and because there is not a huge demand for that genre, you may have to settle for less than book value. Also, what record label it is on can effect the value. But, this is not an exact science. If you get the right bidders, on the right day, truth is, you can only presume what could happen, nothing is written in stone.
That said, let's explore some of he highest prices that have been paid for records at ebay in the last few weeks:
Vinyl Records Top 5 eBay Sales Week Ending 01/05/2008

As always, I want to thank my source of this useful information:

Review; Efcolor stove set/ "oven"
Some time ago I showed you this picture.
I ordered the Efcolor stove set from metalclay.co.uk And now that I've tested it out some more, I'll give you my review and opinion about it.
Why did I order it?
well, you can use a regular oven to melt the efcolor enamel, and it works perfectly! but I wanted to try out this set for a few reasons;
I bought the enamel powder mainly to use when making miniature dollhouse plates, pottery etc. and heating up a regular oven just to make maybe 4 plates is rather stupid. I also thought it would be more convenient - it's small and portable, meaning that you can bring it everywhere. It's powered by 3 tea-lights, so the heat is practically free! yeah, you have to buy some candles (the set comes with 3 candles) and you'll need matches or a lighter... but those are both very cheap. The fact that it's powered by 3 tea lights is amazing, you can literally do the enameling anywhere you want.
In the set:
I looked up the enamel stove set on both a danish website and the metalclay site. The stove set you'd get from the danish site had the stove itself - not sure if it had the tea lights in it. The set from metalclay offered a set including all the pieces you see in the picture - and even though I live in Denmark, I ended up paying less than I would have on the danish site! amazing! :)
What you get:
-3 stands to hold pieces. These are great if you're going to enamel both sides of a piece.
-"Tweezers" a very wide nosed pair of tweezers, I actually find it great for picking up my plates.
-Spatular, a small spatular to help remove items from the hot stove.
-A large round spatular/plate with handle; making it easier to insert and remove things from the stove.
They also included 2 small leaflets about the Efcolor products.
On the box, I believe it said that this small stove has a surface temperature of approx. 160-180 celcius. In celcius the normal baking temperature for polymer clay is approx. 110-130. So this stove is quite a bit warmer.
For the first test I placed a prebaked polymer clay plate (had been baked for 5 minutes in a regular oven) on one of the spatulars and placed it in the Efcolor oven.. I don't recommend this - it didn't take long before the clay bubbled up a bit and got burnt. I then placed a plate on top of one of the small rectangular stands - this worked well. I did the same with a plate, this time adding enamel powder to it, and the result was a beautiful plate, just as if it had been in the normal kitchen oven.
The stove set is pretty hard on the clay due to the temperature (just like a toaster oven). The clay can therefore easily be discolored (eg. white clay turning off white).
One thing I noticed, is what you see in the picture above.. I baked a "cane" (left), cut off a slice (right). I was able to bend the slice as much as I wanted. the high heat apparently made the clay really strong.
I am not going to use this oven to bake my miniature food, because I don't want it to be discolored, but I will continue experimenting with both this stove set and my regular kitchen oven, trying to overbake and bake at higher heat settings. and I will let you know the results when I've tried it out.
Do I like the Efcolor stove set?
yes! - it gives you "free heat".. It heats up in just a couple of minutes..
I think it's great for making pieces with enamel on top, and it would work perfectly for baking stuff like sprinkles and other tiny decorations for your polymer clay creations. You can even use it for baking a master that you need to make a mold from.
I guess you can even adjust the heat by removing one of the candles.. but I wish there was some kind of indicator. I am extremely happy that I bought it, and will be using it a lot :)

By Jason Graziadei
I&M Assistant Editor
The new Board of Selectmen did not get off to the most auspicious of starts yesterday, as it bucked its own tradition of electing a chairman the morning after the Annual Town Election, and instead postponed its decision for two weeks over the strong objections of two members.
With vice chairman Michael Kopko serving as the acting chairman following Whitey Willauer�s defeat at the polls Tuesday, the swearing-in ceremony took place and the meeting began as it typically does, with a call for nominations for a new chairman. Brian Chadwick, who was reelected by a wide margin Tuesday to his second term on the board, immediately nominated Patty Roggeveen to lead the board.
A second to Chadwick�s motion did not come, and Selectman Allen Reinhard, who was elected with Roggeveen one year ago, said he was not immediately prepared to make a decision on who should be the new chairman.
�I would like to have a week or two to discuss the implications of it,� Reinhard said. �I think the chairmanship is probably one of the most important positions in the town, and I would like to have a week or two to ponder this decision.�
Rick Atherton, the newest selectman who was elected Tuesday in his fourth run for a seat on the board, agreed with Reinhard, and despite having attended numerous Selectmen�s meetings over the years and his experience as chairman of the Finance Committee, said he was unfamiliar with the �roles and responsibilities� of the selectmen chairman.
�It�s awfully quick for a new member to absorb what the implications are of the chair, and it would be an excellent thing for the board to sit back and sift through this,� Atherton said. �I�m not quite sure I understand what the roles and responsibilities of the chair are.�
Both Chadwick and Roggeveen objected to postponing a decision on electing a new chairman.
�Traditionally this decision has been made by other boards quite well the day after the election, and the public has a right to know its leadership and we as a board do provide a benchmark,� Roggeveen said. �We are leaving them in the lurch for two weeks without that officer. We all know each other, and I don�t think we need to pretend we don�t. Allen, you�ve been on the board a year, and Rick, you�ve served as Finance Committee chairman.�
Roggeveen then seconded Chadwick�s motion to elect her as chairman, and more discussion followed about the merits of postponing the election of the board�s officers.
�Any one of us is more than capable of leading the board for the next year, and we�re talking about a position that will last for a year, and before making that decision, even though I know each person sitting at the table, I want some time to think about the future and have a chance to talk it out to see what your priorities might be and other members to see their priorities,� Allen said. �I don�t see any harm in waiting two weeks.�
Chadwick, calling for a vote on his motion and warning against any postponement, said, �What will happen is undue lobbying and pushing outside the public purview.�
The board then voted 3-2 to deny Chadwick�s motion, with Atherton, Kopko and Reinhard opposed to Roggeveen�s election as chairman.
A motion to hold the election of the board�s officers at 9:15 a.m. on April 30 was approved with Selectmen voting along the same lines, and Chadwick and Roggeveen reiterating their objections.
The board could not even agree to end the meeting Wednesday morning, as a motion to adjourn was approved 3-2, with Roggeveen and Chadwick opposed.
�It�s really ridiculous,� Chadwick said after the meeting ended. �Mr. Kopko has been posturing for several weeks now, and in my opinion, he�s advocating for the position of chair, which is his right to do. I put forward Patty, and people said I should have been chair, �it�s your turn,� so to speak, but I said �no.� I�m in a better position not to. I would rather Patty have the chair because she has that ability to bring consensus to the board. She�s very good at what she does. For anyone to really argue that, or not stand by that, is really surprising to me.
�Three to two,� Chadwick said, referring to the earlier votes. �That seems to be the genre for Patty and I, is three to two. Hopefully this (year) will not be a continuation of the three to two votes.�
Kopko objected to the idea that the board was already falling into a 3-2 voting pattern, and emphasized that his vote to postpone the election of officers was not a vote against Patty as chairman, but simply to allow the board more time to consider its choices.
�Brian said the same thing after last year�s election, and over the past year, I think we�ve worked really well together as a team, and I�ve been on the losing end of 4-1 votes, we�ve had a lot of unanimous votes,� Kopko said. �I don�t have any preconceived notions about how the board will vote. I don�t know if I want to be the chair or not right now. I�m glad we have a couple weeks to think about it and talk to my fellow selectmen about what we think the role of chairman should be.�

There are a lot of different ways that you can try to get things taken care of in regards to your needs. How can you make sure that your property, if it has oil, is going to be in good shape for all that you want to do? Are there ways to know that you're getting the oil that you may need and that it's going to work out well for whatever you are trying to accomplish? And how can you make it easier on yourself as you move forward?
Barge and oil field equipment is actually something that you're going to need to take some time in order to look at. Taking the time to look at everything that you need to accomplish and learning about the ways that you can get it done correctly can really go a long way. You need to talk to professionals that know the ins and outs of it and that are going to be able to give you all that you need in order to figure things out and see what matters the most for your purposes.
Really look at what you're doing and seek it all out in a way that works. While it can take some time to figure that sort of thing out, you're going to see some huge differences and make sense for what it is that you may want to do. Look closely at what is involved, work things out, and know what matters the most in the end, that's going to help your oil field to have what it needs for a price that is affordable and that will give you the best results. Find what works best and see why it can make a difference for the oil you get.

1 A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed–without remedy. 2 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan. 3 A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth. 4 By justice a king gives a country stability, but one who is greedy for bribes tears it down. 5 Whoever flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his feet. 6 An evil man is snared by his own sin, but a righteous one can sing and be glad. 7 The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern. 8 Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger. 9 If a wise man goes to court with a fool, the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace. 10 Bloodthirsty men hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright. 11 A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control. 12 If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked. 13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives sight to the eyes of both. 14 If a king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will always be secure. 15 The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother. 16 When the wicked thrive, so does sin, but the righteous will see their downfall. 17 Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul. 18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law**. 19 A servant cannot be corrected by mere words; though he understands, he will not respond. 20 Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him. 21 If a man pampers his servant from youth, he will bring grief in the end. 22 An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins. 23 A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor. 24 The accomplice of a thief is his own enemy; he is put under oath and dare not testify. 25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. 26 Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the LORD that man gets justice. 27 The righteous detest the dishonest; the wicked detest the upright.
**Verse 18 If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves;
But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed. – The Message
Is God revealing something in this day and age? The bible seems to imply that this is so. Are you aware of God's revelations in your own life? Do you attend to these small nudges from God and other wise people in your life? Verse 1 tells us what happens when we ignore these nudges or rebukes. Its called the 2×4 lesson.
We keep ignoring little lessons that life gives us, God gives us. Maybe it is the way we squander our wealth with prostitutes (substitute prostitutes with your personal form of addiction). Maybe we fail to reign in our children and give proper discipline. Is it our anger, pride, hot-temper? If we continue to ignore the little nudges they get bigger. Keep ignoring and then comes the 2×4 over the head. A heart attack, bankruptcy, a child in serious trouble. Are you listening now? If I trip over a stone in the road once it is experience, do it twice and it is stupidity.
Verse 12 indicates the top down reality. The honesty or dishonesty of the leader determines the culture of the whole enterprise. What is the culture of your business or home? How do you set the tone for ethics and core values?
Because I trust in the Lord
and keep myself under control
I can Sing and Be Glad!!

The Wall Street Journal picks up on a new, female-oriented spin on the "man cave:" backyard greenhouses where the plants themselves are often an afterthought. Explains the WSJ: "By day, they are sunny, private, plant-filled sanctuaries filled with the sound of classical music or NPR. By night, they are sparkling spaces for cocktails amid exotic foliage. Either way, they are worlds away from the rinky-dink eyesores that backyard greenhouses used to be, all flimsy plastic and wobbly poles."

The skyscraper, which can be replicated en masse, will collect water in the rainy season, purify it, freeze it into ice and store it for future use." Wild stuff ... that's it pictured up top.

Is the sustainable use of wildlife sustainable? Conservationists at The Wildlife Society's annual conference last week in Raleigh, NC agreed with a resounding yes. But how resilient is hunting to shifting demographics and negative public opinion? The take home message: as media reaction continues to undermine sustainable use management efforts and urbanization further threatens our traditional values, the hunting community urgently needs to adapt in order to survive.
Hunters and wildlife managers are comfortable with the common arguments to defend the benefits of sustainable use. Simply put, hunting is an economic and ecological tool for conservation, providing vital sources of funding, sustaining land for habitat and managing populations across functioning landscapes. This mechanistic view, however, is under serious attack. Hunters also have very powerful cultural messages that are not being adequately communicated.
Throughout history, hunting has driven the evolution of our species and the development of human culture. "Empathy for wildlife is not a new movement; it is buried within us all," said Shane Mahoney at The Wildlife Society's conference. The dichotomy of hunting, to witness and participate in the death of an animal for your own well-being or sustenance, is fundamental to what it means to be human. This nuanced understanding is difficult to talk about, but needs to be communicated to the general public.
Recent events have spurred a newly awakened sentimentality for wildlife that is often directly anti-hunting. Today, more than half of Americans live in urban environments. This massive urbanization has led to the loss of traditional sustainable use values and the "de-wilding" of wildlife as society becomes more detached from nature. Groups that do not accept this change and adapt to meet the challenge will become increasingly ineffective wildlife conservationists.
With these social changes come threats to the public trust doctrine of wildlife use inherent in the North American model of conservation. This sustainable-use based model has enabled many conservation successes over decades of changing societal values. The democratic framework that involves multiple recreational users and wildlife stakeholders in conservation is part of what makes the North American model so successful. The entire sustainable use community, from backwoods hunters to member organizations, has to find common ground with other groups and work together to conserve wildlife.
The biggest challenge facing sustainable use is our ability to keep pace with societal change and evolving values. Hunting is struggling to remain relevant to a growing population of urban youth. But understanding the cultural importance of the contribution of wildly harvested protein combined with conventional management arguments for hunting provides promising opportunities. Reenergized communication efforts from sportsmen reach more people with this message every day.
Hunters, conservationists and wildlife managers all know that the sustainable use of wildlife is sustainable. We now have to adapt, and come together as one united voice for hunting and wildlife.

The world tells me that to be happy I need to drive a nice car, wear beautiful clothes and have plenty of me-time. I need to strive for the body of a 21-year-old and live the American Dream.
And the last time I saw Oprah she wasn't interviewing a housewife who told how she scrimps, saves and eats beans and potatoes in order to stay home and wipe noses.
The cover of Glamour magazine never features a housewife who denies herself praise and prestige in order to be the keeper of her home, and Cosmopolitan won't tell me how to be an excellent wife and the crown of my husband.
We cook countless meals, wash the same laundry and repeat the same non-glamorous tasks day after day and don't receive any accolades. The only thing many of us will receive is scorn from the world who has no eyes to see that the daily dying, the investment in our children, will be the future of the Church.
But God sees all.
He sees every hot meal you make, then eat cold. He sees every tear you cry when you are exhausted. He sees every diaper you change and every slow reader you refuse to give up on. He sees you draw close to that unlovable child. He sees you go the extra mile in cleaning that bathroom as you do it as unto Him. He sees you share the gospel daily with your family by the choices you make, the lines in the sand you draw, the life you have chosen.
You are serving Him.
And He will reward you. Maybe in this life, as your children may one day rise up and call you blessed. But certainly in the one to come.
His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.' Matt. 25:21
I am an ordinary, homeschooling mom to seven children. Our eighth child will, Lord willing, be joining us in March! We are a Texas-loving, Texas-abiding family who loves Jesus as well as good books, strong coffee and the outdoors. Oh, we also love babies. Lots of babies :)
I enjoy spending my time learning about reformed theology, the doctrines of grace and solid Biblical truth. I don't have all the answers nor have I "arrived". Like you, I am a wife and mother in need of torrential grace. I fail every day...many times in fact. But the Lord is faithful and His mercies new every morning!
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." – Phil. 4:8
"Many women live under a cloud of personal guilt and condemnation," says Nancy Leigh DeMoss. "Many are in bondage to their past. Others are gripped by fear of rejection and a longing for approval. Still others are emotional prisoners."
In best-selling Lies Women Believe, Nancy exposes those areas of deception most commonly believed by Christian women—lies about God, sin, priorities, marriage and family, emotions, and more. She then sheds light on how we can be delivered from bondage and set free to walk in God's grace, forgiveness, and abundant life. Nancy offers the most effective weapon to counter and overcome Satan's deceptions: God's truth!

Renowned for its chamber music concerts, the Portland String Quartet (PSO) has contributed enormously to the local and international classical music niche. Starting as the Portland Symphony String Quartet (PSSQ), its members have progressed to become key members in the Portland Symphony Orchestra. Where many of them also created studios for teaching, positions for school music, and organize chamber music events which render full-time service to Maine. Since it was established in 1969, with Maestro Paul Vermel leading the group when it first began, it has served as a model for symphonies its size.
The Portland String Quartet, as part of its commitment to educational outreach, they plan concerts for the young in the local schools, as well as on campuses of the University of Maine System. The PSO played a key role in setting-up the Damariscotta Arts Council which organizes series of concerts every year in Damariscotta, Maine. They also organize workshops for people and these bring people from all over the world together to further their education and appreciation of this art form.
The quartet's cozy association with the Orquesta Juvenil Simon Bolivar — from the 1970s to 2003 — is especially important in its global work. With Dr. Jose Abreu as director, the El Sistema employed the PSO's expertise in several workshops and concerts in Venezuela. Pupils that attended this extraordinary program attend quartet's summer workshops in Maine. Their popular textbook for undergraduate music and non-music majors, "Welcome to Chamber Music", was base on the eponymous Jan Plan course. They have gotten rave reviews and critics from popular media organizations including the Portland Press Herald, the Washington Star, the Maine Sunday Telegram, Washington Post, the Miami Herald, the Maine Arts Commission and the Paul Foundation.
In 1981, the Portland String Quartet earned the status of "Artists in Residence" at the University of Southern Maine. They also went on to be awarded many other highly esteemed awards from the area and from all around the United States, making them one of the best in the industry. Their discography comprises more than 24 pieces including pieces from Bach's Art of the Fugue to present-day composers like Dr. Peter Ré. Worthy of note are their various chamber music disc recordings of Walter Piston, Ernest Bloch, and George Chadwick which earned them Best Recording awards from the Boston Globe and the New York Times.
They have also debuted works by Daniel Godfrey, Gerry Bowder William Matthews, Norman Dello Joio, Elliott Schwartz and other artists. In acknowledgment of extraordinary service and cultural contributions to the community, the quartet got the Chamber Music America's Acclaim award in 2013.
A short documentary on the PSQ's internal teamwork by The Harvard Business School was used as a tool for teaching the effectiveness of small teams at business schools. Spearheaded by the PSQ, individuals now learn business skills from chamber music ensembles. Violinist Dean Stein joined the group on January 1, 2013. The quartet continues to schedule festivals, concerts and quartet workshops as part of its contributions to the society.

TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico — Mexican authorities returned about 400 migrants to their native Guatemala Wednesday, a day after they and 113 other migrants were found hidden inside two trailer trucks.
Officials of Mexico's National Immigration Institute said the 113 migrants still being held are from nations that don't share borders with Mexico or are Guatemalan minors or women who require special treatment.
The 400 Guatemalan migrants were returned to their country in air-conditioned buses Wednesday, a stark contrast to the sweltering, overcrowded trailers where they were found.Story: X-rays reveal 513 US-bound migrants crammed in trucks
The remaining migrants include 47 from El Salvador, 32 from Ecuador, 12 from India, six from Nepal, three from China and one each from the Dominican Republic and Honduras, as well as Guatemalan minors and women.
Initial reports suggested that one of those aboard the trucks was Japanese, but officials later said that he was in fact Chinese.Video: Drug smugglers' new transport method (on this page)
"We have seen an increase in recent months" in the number of migrants caught while being smuggled through southern Mexico, despite the fact that "traffickers are charging increasingly high rates to move them north," noted Juan Jose Gonzalez, the head of the nonprofit group Southern Border Movement.
The immigrants found Tuesday said they had paid an average of $7,000 for the trip to the United States.
Mexican officials stressed during a visit to the southern border state of Chiapas Wednesday that new immigration facilities and inspection points are being built to fight migrant trafficking and provide humane conditions for migrants.
Interior Secretary Francisco Blake Mora said "we are here to find solutions and increase safety, legality and respect for the border population and migrants from Mexico, Central America and other countries," Blake Mora said.
The head of Mexico's Immigration Institute, Salvador Beltran Del Rio, said the government is building seven new immigrant holding and processing centers in southern Mexico.

I am in the process of reserving a flight for the Anchorage Job Fair. I'm planning on arriving on Wednesday to look around a bit and then be there for the Early Registration on Thursday. My question is, should I plan on attending all day Friday AND Saturday? I'm trying to decide if I should fly back on Saturday (most flights leave in the morning) or if I should fly back on Sunday. The problem with Sunday is it puts be back home around midnight and I need to teach the following Monday. I'm sure I will be exhausted from the travel and excitement of the job fair. However, I don't want to miss out on a potential opportunity.
Thanks so much!

*text mentioned in Jiang Hu Road Is Curved chapter four
{{A Farewell to Secretary Uncle Yun At the Xietiao Villa in Xuanzhou}}
The yesterday that abandoned me and left,
Cannot be retained;
The today that leaves my heart in disorder,
Causes many worries.
Autumn wild geese escorted by miles of wind,
Intoxicated whilst watching this from the high building.
Your writings contains the backbone of the Jian'an[1] style,
Also contains the delicate elegance of Xiao Xie[2] between.
You and I embrace soaring ambitions,
Desiring the blue sky and aspiring to the luminous moon.
Drawn sword cuts off the water, yet the water flows more smoothly,
Drinking to forget the worries, yet the worries grows more intense.
Life cannot go according to one's wishes,
Better to let down one's hair and aboard the little boat.
[1]Jian'an style refers to poetry associated with the end of the Han Dynasty and is known for being noble, awe-inspiring and direct
[2] Xiao Xie (Little Xie) refers to a Southern Qi poet called Xie Tao, also known as Hui Xuan
《宣州谢朓楼饯别校书叔云》《Xuān Zhōu Xiè Tiǎo Lóu Jiàn Bié Xiào Shū Shū Yún》
弃我去者, (Qì wǒ qù zhě)
昨日之日不可留; (Zuó rì zhī rì bù kě liú)
乱我心者, (Lu àn wǒ xīn zhě)
今日之日多烦忧。 (Jīn rì zhī rì duō fán yōu)
长风万里送秋雁, (Cháng fēng wàn lǐ sòng qiū yàn)
对此可以酣高楼。 (Duì cǐ kě yǐ hān gāo lóu)
蓬莱文章建安骨, (Péng lái wén zhāng jiàn'ān gǔ)
中间小谢又清发。 (Zhōng jiān xiǎo xiè yòu qīng fā)
俱怀逸兴壮思飞, (Jù huái yì xìng zhuàng sī fēi)
欲上青天览明月。 (Yù shàng qīng tiān lǎn míng yuè)

举杯销愁愁更愁。 (Jǔ bēi xiāo chóu chóu gèng chóu)

A Farewell to Secretary Shu Yun At the Xietiao Villa in Xuanzhou is a poem by the great Tang Dynasty Poet Li Bai who composed it as a farewell gift, having met Li Yun in Xuanzhou. This poem has 92 characters in total, and is for most part comprised of lines of seven characters. It is not a bluntly put farewell, it uses a heavy brush to express the poet's discontent in underappreciated talent. The poem infuses generous heroic feelings, expressing the poet's fierce anger in unappreciated talents, expressing his strong dissatisfaction towards the dark society and also his passionate pursuit for a brighter world. Although written with extreme anguish and concern, it is not deep and gloomy. The poem contains strong thoughts and feelings, like rapidly changing torrents, waves raising one after another, jumping up and down in perfect harmony with the artistic structure, achieving the boldly unconstrained realm that harmonises with nature.
Poem and explanation translated from: http://baike.baidu.com/link?url=c3g8TMVBnY71TlnUa6j5xRbOMF2I-204xXWtYBHlobpxsa3_pvxx9_mbIrnGYFZE4Pod2m9Xaen29Xiwfn8WTK
