Cindy Crawford used the routines in this video to get back into shape after her second child. With the help of fitness expert Kathy Kaehler, she designed this workout to help new mothers ease back into fitness. Although I've never had a child, I was interested in the variety of workouts that this video had to offer and decided to give it a try. Throughout the video, Cindy and Kathy work out together in various settings, and Cindy is also shown working out alone in her bedroom and on the beach; at times, images of Cindy with her baby and her husband are woven in as well. The background music includes some popular hit songs but is generally unobstrusive.
Workouts A and B are both short (12 and 16 minutes, respectively), fairly gentle routines to help you slowly get used to moving your body and beginning to work your muscles.
Section A starts with a gentle upper body stretch, moves into slow plies and lunges, and continues with just a bit of abs work (Kathy shows how to modify if your abs muscles were torn during labor). This section ends with Kegel exercises and pelvic tilts, both of which are included in all three workouts. Section B begins with a 4-minute warmup and stretch using a chair. It then moves into a segment described as cardio, but it is really only a few minutes of side to side moves, knee lifts, etc. which can be performed with or without light weights. Next are a few sets of squats and lunges using playing cards which you pick up off the floor, and then it's on to the floor for pelvic tilts, Kegels, and a bit more abs work. As an intermediate exerciser, I found these first two segments too easy, and I was disappointed by the lack of cardio and upper body work. Although I don't expect to use these sections often, they are likely to be perfect for their intended audience of those trying to get back into fitness, especially since the time went by very quickly in both workouts.
To my surprise, the third section made a pretty big leap from the first two, as it was actually quite challenging. Again, there was not much cardio work: only two short cardio segments were included, and as in Section B, these consisted mainly of very basic moves such as knee raises and side kicks (the second segment used light weights to increase the work). On the other hand, the toning segments in this section really worked the muscles, particularly in the upper body. After a brief stretch, Section C begins with upper body toning using the weights and working shoulders, biceps, and triceps. Next is the first cardio interval (4 minutes), and then a lower body focus which includes plies and lunges (again using the playing cards), glutes work (using a chair for balance), and more upper body with push-ups against the chair. Following the second cardio interval (3 minutes), there is additional toning work for the arms using the chair, a tough push-ups segment (with Kegels inbetween), some pretty strenuous abs work, and finally, pelvic tilts. This section ends with a 2-minute stretch.
I will definitely continue using Section C when I want a full-body strength workout that I can do in a relatively short (40 minutes) period of time. Although I think those new to or returning to exercise will enjoy the gentleness of the first two sections, keep in mind that it might take you quite awhile to work up to the third segment. This is definitely a video which allows for growth and which can provide some benefit to all but the most advanced exercisers.
Instructor Comments:
Kathy offers good basic instruction, although as you might expect, the camera focused more often on Cindy, whose form is good, but not perfect. I found it a little odd that Cindy offerred more form pointers than Kathy did, but her prompts were generally appropriate.
This video saved my body. After having two childen close together, I needed help fast. Cindy came to the rescue. This is the first video that I ever did. Two years later and 20 pounds lighter I still do this video weekly. In the last few months, I have tried several others but none compare to this one. Cindy's video is fast paced and not boring; furthermore, she gives you 3 different routines to hoose from. This is a good overall workout for anyone.
Instructor Comments:
Cindy and Kathy explain the moves very well. Also, they are motivating when you need it the most.
This tape is excellent for women that have just had a baby! I started doing this tape 6 weeks after having my daughter and after 7 months, I have lost 50 pounds. The exercises really target the areas that get flabby when you are pregnant: tummy, thighs, and butt. I have just recently started doing other tapes, so I have to give a lot of credit to this tape!
There are 3 separate workouts and it's just Cindy and Kathy Kaehler. There's an intro by Cindy, talking about working out after pregnancy and some video of her and her baby and husband.
Workout A: 12 minutes/4 minute warm up/ 6 minute workout/2 minute cool down. This is mainly stretching with some lunges, squats, plies, kegels, abs and pelvic tilts. It's recommended for use the first 2 weeks working out after giving birth. No equipment.
Workout B: 16 minutes/3 1/2 min warm up/10 min cardio/2 1/2 min cool down. The warm up includes stretches, side step, knee lifts, calf pumps, plies, back, shoulder, hip, quad, calf stretches. You need a chair. The main workout is primarily cardio: marches, knee up/overs, back crossovers, squats. There are "card squats". You use 10 playing cards, put them on the floor next to where your foot will hit when you lunge. You pick up a card when you lunge. Then onto pushups, kegels, 2 count pushups, pelvic tilts, 2 count crunches, reverse crunches. The cool down is yoga type stretches. You need a chair & 10 cards.
Workout C: 41 minutes/ 3 1/2 warmup/35 minutes interval workout/3 1/2 cooldown. The warmup is stretches, squats, hamstring stretch, and some yoga moves. The main workout starts with weights: overhead press, lateral raises, tricep kickbacks, forward & backward lunges, tricep dips. Cardio follows with a march/squat/kick combo, knee up w/biceps curls, knee crossovers, side step with arm work, and a squat/jump combo. More weights follow with lat rows, rear leg lifts, push ups off chair, cad squats (pick up cards when you squat). More cardio that resembles the Firm's 4 limb movement with a grapevine/knee up/side kick combo. More weights: isolated bicep curls, plies, pulsing push ups, kegels, 2 count push ups, hamstring lifts, abs--reverse crunch, cross over crunch, 4 count crunch, and pelvic tilts. The cool down is a nice set of stretches.
The production value is very high. There is nice music, some vocal. The video changes between Cindy exercising on her own on a beach, to Cindy and Kathy working out in Cindy's apartment, with other video tricks thrown in. In between workouts there is video of Cindy and her son. I didn't find the change of scenery distracting, but I was only previewing. Cindy's form was ok. The cardio sections are short, so I don't think that your heart rate will stay up in your zone. I think that this tape is good for its intended audience (new moms) and for beginners and low intermediates. I will probably use this tape on days when I'm in a hurry but want to do something or a very light day. It would also be good to use when coming back from injury or illness.

In a sign of times, parents have got in the act, complaining that the PSLE question in a mathematics paper was tricky and disturbing. One online forum writer even claimed that he had written to a school principal to give "feedback to the Ministry of Education (MOE)"
Mr Bhajan Singh, a 70-year-old ex-principal previously involved in the setting of examination papers, said parents should have faith in Singapore's education system instead of throwing a "tantrum".

What on earth does PM Lee mean when he says he is "lifting the whip" for the parliamentary sitting on 3 July? Lifting the whip is only for voting on bills. In this case, no bill is under consideration. He's just planning to make a statement. If he means that PAP members of parliament will be free to ask any question or make any comment they wish, then it has always been their right as MPs whether or not the whip is lifted. This simply goes to show that the PAP does not ordinarily allow its MPs to ask any question or make any comment they deem appropriate in parliament UNLESS the PM says (in a misuse of the term) the whip is lifted.

Kristen and Greg were married at the Espiritu Church in Safety Harbor with the reception at Morean Center for Clay. They had to find a new wedding venue six months before their wedding, as their original venue wasn't going to be complete in time, but they found an industrial space with exposed brick that they absolutely loved.
Photographed by The Ganeys, this wedding was pretty incredible right from the start. The fun, patterned bridesmaid dresses, Kristen's 77-year-old engagement ring, a beautiful lace hair piece, and some gorgeous bouquets helped kicked things off!
From The Photographer:
Kristen and Greg opted not to do a first look. When Kristen made her way down the aisle with her father, Greg's eyes began to well up, and I don't blame him – I was crying too – Kristen looked absolutely breathtaking. Their ceremony was filled with readings, a ring warming ceremony (my personal favorite) and a solo from a close friend as Kristen and Greg lit a unity candle.
We all made our way to St. Petersburg for their cocktail hour and reception at the Morean Center for Clay. This is such a unique, and amazing venue! The exposed brick and huge windows create the perfect urban, industrial backdrop, while still providing plenty of natural light into the space. Guests enjoyed the live music during cocktail hour and beer on tap!
The reception space was set up beautifully. There were bistro string lights hanging from the ceiling. Each table had wooden cross back chairs (swoon) and a beautiful centerpiece filled with plenty of color and greenery. Instead of standard table numbers, Kristen and Greg opted to personalize things a bit. Each table had a number, but they were numbers that meant something to them. $9.99, 3, 2014, >1, 77 are just a few examples. On the back of every table number, they explained the significance behind the number and how it had impacted their relationship. What a beautiful idea!
To cap of the evening, Kristen and Greg cut their very own ice cream sandwich, instead of a cake. They're ice cream people (which I can totally relate to) and so they decided to pass on the traditional cake, and find a local ice cream sandwich shop to treat their guests to their favorite dessert. I absolutely love that!
Thanks for stopping by!

McClain Gallery is pleased to present Radiant Space, featuring works by Peter Alexander, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Larry Bell, Gisela Colon, Stephen Dean, Christian Eckart, Gary Lang, De Wain Valentine and Marc Vaux. These artists share an interest in materiality, perception, light and color in pursuit of an experience that transcends the purely visual. Radiant Space includes paintings and sculptures by several pioneers of the Light and Space movement as well as artists who share their interest in the use of light and color as medium.
Larry Bell, Peter Alexander, and De Wain Valentine along with a number of other very notable West Coast artists such as James Turrell, Robert Irwin and John McCracken, played important roles in the creation and popularization of the Light and Space movement which sprang up in the late 1960s in Los Angeles. Roberta Smith from the New York Times, states: "These artists' lack of interest in making visual objects led them to start creating situations that gave the viewer a new awareness of visual perception." Instead of applying paint to canvas, or sculpting in bronze, they focused on light as their medium: a material found in abundance in Los Angeles. Radiant Space features iconic Valentine "Discs," Alexander "Bars," and Bell "Cubes." The innovations achieved by the Light and Space Movement were influential to artists who similarly focused on spatial phenomena.
The concept of a space where art manifests resulting in a contemplative, spiritual experience is present in Christian Eckart's pieces as well. His Limbus Painting evokes traditional religious icon paintings. The title of the series, "Limbus" refers to the period between the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, a time the artist addresses as "a state of becoming." Eckart sees the medium of painting "as an entryway or vehicle to the transcendent." His recently completed Hobby Airport commission Cloud Room Field, fabricated from hundreds of panes of dichroic glass, utilizes both the environment's natural luminance and the continuous motion of the airport's security checkpoint to create a dynamic visual experience. Stephen Dean also employs the use of dichroic glass by combining fragments of the material with sheets of black aluminum foil and simple brown paper to highlight a shift of color and reflection that changes according to the viewer's perspective. Gisela Colon's "Glo-Pods" represent the work of the next generation of California Light and Space artists. The pods are produced using a technique called "blow-molding," where she layers tinted acrylic sheets atop one another and then using hot air, molds them into the desired anamorphic shape. Her sculptures emanate diffused light and color.
Similarly, the Op Art movement explores the optical effects of color theory and perception. The work of Richard Anuszkiewicz is synonymous with the movement. Anuszkiewicz's use of strict geometry is offset by his use of intense color, resulting in vibrating abstraction. Gary Lang's work has been described by writer Erik Quint as "pure sensation," and his large circle paintings mimic "time machines for exploring space and light without beginning or end." For artists such as Eckart, Dean, and Marc Vaux, it is the straddling of 2D and 3D art that makes the work most distinct.

Cotton-Subsidy Reform Could Feed, Educate Millions
Photo credit: Judy Baxter
It's time to write to Congress and ask: What's the cotton-picking idea? A substantial overhaul of American cotton subsidies in the 2007 Farm Bill could result in additional funds that could feed one million children for a year or pay school fees for at least two million children living in impoverished West African cotton-farming households, according to a new study by Oxfam America.
"Previous studies my colleagues and I have done clearly show the trade distorting effects of US cotton subsidies by lowering the world price of cotton, with results at the aggregate level," says Daniel Sumner, director of the University of California Agricultural Issues Center and one of the authors of the Oxfam report. "But these new numbers show that even a modest increase in the world price of cotton that only partly reaches the farmer could greatly improve the daily lives of some of the world's poorest people, and could literally mean that millions of poor people could be fed."
For the typical cotton-growing West African household of 10, who live on less than a dollar a day per person, cotton is often the only source of income. According to the Oxfam study, a complete removal of U.S. cotton subsidies would jack up the world price of cotton by 6 to 14 percent, resulting in a 5 to 12 percent increase in the prices that West African farmers receive for their cotton.
Additional income from increased cotton prices could have significant impact on their lives, says Oxfam, providing extra cash for covering the healthcare costs of four to 10 individuals for an entire year, food for one or two children for one year, or schooling costs for 1 to 10 children. (The country has an adult literacy rate of less than 25 percent.)
"This data clearly exposes the hypocrisy of our policies, giving international aid with one hand and taking with the other through unfair trade rules," says Raymond C. Offenheiser, president of Oxfam America. "With Congress looking at the Farm Bill right now, and renewed interest in the Doha round, this study shows how reform could help millions of poor people who are ready to lift themselves out of poverty through farming and fair trade."
American produces get more federal subsidies with each additional bushel they produce, so it should come as little surprise that farms encourage overproduction. The surplus cotton then floods the international market, lowering world prices and undercutting the livelihoods of millions of already-poor farmers around the globe—a move that is actually illegal under World Trade Organization rules.
"Any delay in reforming the US subsidy program would signal to our trading partners that the US is not serious about a new global trade agreement and, most importantly, would mean continued suffering for millions of poor African farmers who are undermined by US subsidies and dumping." continued Offenheiser. "Reforming the Farm Bill provides us with the opportunity to help more American farmers, reduce the harm of trade distorting subsidies for poor farmers overseas, and put the US in a stronger position in future international trade negotiations."
Or risk the wrath of Bono, we'd imagine. :: Kansas City Infozine

|Wholesale electricity market
|European Union Electricity Market Glossary
Wholesale electricity market is influenced greatly by features of electricity as a non-standard commodity.
Among these specificities, in particular, are:
1. the requirement to balance of electricity generation and demand continuously,
2. limited and very costly storage capacity,
3. the laws of physics that govern the flows of electricity and cause that the share of electrical flows through the network depends on the physical location of injections in and withdrawals from the network,
4. the limitations on infrastructure that have a strong influence on market organisation and design, the flow of electricity from generators to loads may cause problems related to operational security (such as overloading of network elements),
5. congestions and capacity allocation limit the trading possibilities and competition in the market,
6. operational security constraints and the physical limits characterising the transmission network restrict possible combinations of injections and withdrawals in the network (see The influence of existing bidding zones on electricity markets, ACER's Consultation document, PC_2013_E_04 31 July 2013 (p. 5)
Products traded in wholesale electricity markets include both short term and long term physical products and short term and long term financial products. The contracts can either be standardised contracts, admitted to trading at organised market places, or non-standardised contracts traded OTC.
Day-ahead spot contracts
Contracts traded for physical delivery during the next day. Hourly contracts and flexible block contracts can be traded, subject to relevant market rules. Day-ahead spot prices are usually set in auctions, where market participants submit their bids until the closure of the call phase. Some power exchanges distinguish between Base load and Peak load contracts.
Base load contracts
Contracts for delivery from Monday to Sunday, usually 00.00-24.00.
Peak load contracts
Contracts for delivery Monday to Friday, usually between 08.00- 20.00 or 08.00-18.00.
Intraday spot contracts
Contracts traded the same days as delivery. Market participants trade in the intraday market to correct imbalances they may have after the day-ahead trades. Intraday trading is usually carried out in continuous trading.
Physical forwards
Contracts for physical delivery at a specific time in the future at price determined when signing the contract. The day-ahead spot price at the point of time for delivery does not affect the contract.
Financial contracts with a physical underlying product where, at delivery date, the amount of money corresponding to the value of the underlying product is delivered at a predetermined price (contrary to physical forward, where the actual physical commodity is delivered).
Contracts that offer the buyer the option or the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a pre-defined price at a specific time.

In his article Jeff Carr suggests that space advocacy is harder than rocket science. More to the point, public relations and marketing is hard. Please read the article here. He poses some important questions that I think are worth discussing here. He also encourages input, so if you want to pitch him something, feel free to rough it out and get information here.
For your consideration:
How good is all this big picture thinking [moon bases, manned missions to Mars, etc] if no one else gets it or cares?
Why do our public advocacy efforts fail to get traction or to sustain momentum?
[Is space advocacy] being heard as an industry? Or are we cancelling each other out?
How can we communicate as an industry to awaken public interest…foster national pride and resolve?
I look forward to all of your thoughtful input. I'll be chewing this one over for a few hours at least.
Views: 138
This is an extremely important topic, so I, for one, would like to see this discussion blossom and contrinue for a long time to come.
First, I'll answer all of his questions as best I can
So how is it working for America?
I honestly don't believe it's working at all. It is distressing, to say the least, to find out that no one seems to care.
Is the public getting any smarter or more informed as a result?
I don't think so. I don't think the public is getting smarter or more informed, because they don't seem to care. How do we make the public care? That's the biggest question we have to ask.
Is there a growing majority of members of Congress carrying the flag for space exploration and development?
I'm not sure I can answer this definitively, but I certainly don't think so...
Are we on the verge of the next great economic leap on the back of game-changing space technologies and discoveries?
Seeing as how NASA's funding has been cut, and astronauts have to hitch rides on Russian and other spacecraft, I'd say that the answer is no... something that desperately needs to change, IMO...
Is space becoming more relevant in the minds of Americans that are largely preoccupied with economic and social issues?
Again, no. Because nothing's being done to change that.
How good is all this big picture thinking if no one else gets it or cares?
Not good at all.
Why do our public advocacy efforts fail to get traction or to sustain momentum?
I honestly believe it's because the ever-growing number of advocacy groups with different messages. All these voices are just getting confusing.
Are we being heard as an industry? Or are we cancelling each other out?
The latter.
How can we communicate as an industry to awaken public interest…foster national pride and resolve?
I think the different advocacy groups need to join together, under NASA, to spread one message.
The different groups we have include (but are not limited to) the National Space Society, The Space Foundation, The Planetary Society, The Mars Society, The Moon Society, The Space Frontier Foundation, The Final Frontier Foundation, The Space Generation Foundation, The Coalition for Space Exploration and the Commercial Spaceflight Federation.
The National Space Society, The Space Foundation, The Space Frontier Foundation, The Final Frontier Foundation, The Space Generation Foundation, and The Coalition for Space Exploration could all be merged into one group. They are essentially advocating getting into space. So merge them all together and just call it... I don't know, the National Space Coalition.
The Planetary Society, the Mars Society, and the Moon Society could also be merged into one group, the Interplanetary Coalition.
Then we have the Commercial Spaceflight Federation.
This gives us three functioning coalitions that can all be gathered under the banner of NASA and create one, cohesive message that brings it all together:
"Space is the only step we have left. It is our future! We must build a base on the moon. We must explore Mars. We must explore the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, in the search for life.
And you can take part! You can go to space, as well!"
Take that message, or a similar one, and expand upon it. Take all the numerous voices and combine them into one voice. This is what will help to fix the public advocacy problem.
Part 2 of his article has already been posted. I wish his article was open to comments, because I, for one, would love to participate in the discussion, even though I'm just an Anthropology student.

Just got 2 of the waves xwsg cards. Curious if I am the only one who is having so many problems with them. I am familiar with waves multitrack lv1 mixer. As well as the X32 daniel. I have a Midas m32r. X32 rack, X32, and X32 core. The main issue I have is a 10db signal drop when returning from multirack. Also. Non of my X32 cores even recognizes the card, but I can still run audio through multirack back to the X32 core. On my X32rac x32 and Midas m32r. It says it's an adat card. I have contacted waves and behringer to let them know.
Ian Hind;126438 wrote:
Mine is doing the exact same thing.
This card is NOT ready for primetime.
This is the first Behringer product (X32 & X-WSG) I've bought in almost 20 years and I should have learned my lesson from past experiences. Their reputation was horrendous and it seems not much has changed, definitely regretting this investment. No other company I've dealt with can routinely put out such sloppy and poor work.
Thank you! Your webinar registration is complete.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea) declared Feb. 10 that it has built an arsenal of nuclear weapons. It also announced its intention to pull out of the six-party talks aimed at denuclearization of the peninsula, but left open the possibility for a return.
North Korea blames the U.S., specifically the Bush administration, for the current tensions, and says it is still committed to working for denuclearization. A statement issued by North Korea's foreign ministry said that the reason it pulled out of the talks was the Bush administration's attitude toward North Korea.
"The DPRK has clarified its stand that it would not pursue anti-Americanism and [would] treat the U.S. as a friendly nation if it neither slanders the political system in the DPRK nor interferes in its internal affairs," the statement read. "It has since made every possible effort to settle the nuclear issue and improve the bilateral relations."
However, the Bush administration, through Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, has labeled the DPRK an "outpost of tyranny" and has said that it would not rule out the use of force against it. Also, in 2004, the Congress passed the North Korean Human Rights Act (NKHRA), which, some of the act's architects have openly stated, was aimed at "regime change" or collapsing North Korea's government. Leaders of South Korea and other nations have condemned the NKHRA.
U.S. peace activists have charged that the Bush administration's policies, while purportedly part of a "war on terror" to create a safer world, actually increase the nuclear danger.
"U.S. nuclear weapons spending has quietly grown by 84 percent since 1995 — several years after the Cold War ended," Jacqueline Cabasso, executive director of the Western States Legal Foundation, recently said. "This year the U.S. will spend nearly $7 billion to maintain and modernize nuclear warheads, usable for decades to come, and many billions more to operate and modernize its delivery and command and control systems. Altogether, the United States is spending about $40 billion annually on nuclear forces.
"Ten thousand nuclear warheads, with some 2,000 on hair-trigger alert, remain in the U.S. arsenal, each one many times more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped 60 years ago [on Hiroshima and Nagasaki]," Cabasso noted.
North Korea has been asking for bilateral talks with the United States for months, but the U.S. has rebuffed it each time. On the other hand, South Korea has been involved in a policy of "engagement" with North Korea — holding diplomatic meetings, working together to solve certain problems, and engaging in joint economic ventures, including an industrial zone in Kaisong.
This is in contrast to policies in place until very recently that treated the DPRK as an archenemy. Right-wing forces in South Korea, who were connected with the military dictatorship that was dismantled in the 1980s and who controlled the South's parliament until recent elections, have called on the governing Uri Party to revert to the old policy of confrontation. However, while South Korea has voiced displeasure with the North's announcement, this appears unlikely.
"There is no reason to immediately change this policy direction," South Korea's minister of unification Chung Dong-young was quoted as saying recently in the New York Times. The same article also said that South Korea is seeking to jumpstart bilateral talks between it and the North by proposing a high-level military summit.
Chung cautioned this week that it would be premature to declare North Korea a nuclear power. He noted that North Korea has yet to conduct a nuclear test, unlike other nuclear powers such as India and Pakistan.
All of the members of the six-party talks — South Korea, the U.S., Japan, Russia, People's Republic of China, and North Korea itself — agree, for their own reasons, that the best possible situation would be a nuclear-free peninsula.
China, the United Nations, and others are looking into ways to resume the talks. "The DPRK has simply said it is not prepared to continue to participate in them under the conditions that they have described, but they have not annulled those and I believe that we should regard this not as the end of a negotiating process," said Maurice Strong, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's personal envoy to the DPRK.
According to North Korea's foreign ministry, "The DPRK's principled stand to solve the issue through dialogue and negotiations and its ultimate goal to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula remain unchanged."

Some spontaneity to Wizards Edit
As we know there are two kind of casters: the spontaneous (like Sorcerers) and the ones who prepare the spells after waking up (like Wizards). I always found a little too rigid the system of the Wizard: it is far too easy being with an array of Fireballs when you actually needed Wind Wall.
This Alternate Rule tries to find a compromise without making the Wizard exactly the same of the spontaneous caster changing a little the rule that allows you to fill in an empty mind slot in 15 minutes.
Rationale: The main idea of this Variant is NOT making Wizards stronger, but giving them more chances to use those small hardly ever useful spells. For example when you did actually memorized `Nystul's Magic Aura` or `Vision?`
In this context `busy slot` means ready to cast another spell, not already used; and `free slot` means unused in the morning study.
Benefit: All normal rules apply, but a Wizard can also cast an unprepared spell if:
- he seek and glance the spell in his book. This action behaves just like casting a level 0 somatic spell with casting time one minute (about attacks of opportunity, concentration checks and the like);
Once he is successful he readied the book. He can cast the spell (eventually applying metamagic) simply:
- using-up a free slot of the spell appropriate level (or higher);
- OR using-up a busy slot of the spell appropriate level (or higher) and a second (busy or free) slot of the spell level, one-lower or higher.
The spell book stays readied until the character decides to cast another spell, both prepared or unprepared. If the new spell is unprepared the book must be readied again; if the new spell is prepared your character puts away the book as a non action.
I used the the Wizard being the most iconic, but this Variant Rule may be applied to any prepared caster: an Archivist will seek in the prayer book; a Cleric or a Paladin will enter the mindset to ask his divinity and so go on...
With this Variant if it happens you actually need a rare spell, overall outside fights, you can cast it without problems.
On the other hand in a real fight this Variant rule is not unbalancing: losing 10 rounds is usually unacceptable as most fight lasts at most 3 or 4 rounds. Moreover if your character is hurt while reading the book he will need to pass a check of concentration or he will need to start over.

The gradual economic recovery throughout the year, the improvement of the processes for product development and collection, the improvement of the logistics flow throughout the entire chain and the resumption of financial transaction volumes were the Company's main operating highlights. As a result, a consistent expansion of same-store sales coupled with a strong expansion in gross merchandise margins and strong control over the financial cycle.
The new distribution center in Guarulhos was finished at the end of 2016 and gave the Company the most advanced technology worldwide. Riachuelo, being even more confident in its business model, maintained its expansion process by opening 12 stores and renovating 20 units in 2017, ending the year with 302 stores in operation.
The search for productivity gains continued throughout 2017, with more focus on store processes. The development of management methods implemented in stores during 2015 and 2016 continued to generate value through the improvement of the quality of operations and the consequent increase in productivity, only slightly affected during the second six-month period by the growth of mobile phone and perfumery operations. As such, the indicator sales area (m²) per employee has increased by 38.1% over the last four years.
Riachuelo kept its proposal to democratize fashion, offering pieces with designs at affordable prices for customers all over Brazil. The influential Lala Rudge developed a capsule collection in 2015 and, since June of this year, she has her own lingerie brand for sale exclusively at Riachuelo. The Barbie line has been one of Riachuelo's main licensed lines since 2016, and an exclusive collection created by Lala Rudge and the retail team has brought together pieces that are ideal for many of the routine moments of the modern women, from going to the gym, training outside and even a relaxed meeting with friends, reinforcing the Athleisure concept, which unites fashion and sport.
Another partnership made in 2017 was the Camila Coelho and Kadu Dantas collection. In this collection, shades of black and wine predominate, the inspiration came from a blogger's closet, the Kadu collection was also inspired by his own wardrobe.
In November 2017, designer Paula Raia launched her first and exclusive partnership with Riachuelo. Mid-length skirts, bodysuits, dresses and trousers in shades of off white, black, skin and indigo. It is worth mentioning that the performance of these commercial partnerships goes beyond the enormous success achieved in their sales. Getting a fashion image with an increasingly attentive and conscious young public with regard to ecological and social aspects is a great asset generated by such strategies.
In relation to the financial transactions, the Company gradually accelerated its operations, generating higher volumes in 2017, given a macroeconomic scenario that is beginning to show signs of recovery.
As a recognition of the quality of financial information disclosed to the market in general, Grupo Guararapes received the 2017 Troféu Transparência Award for the fourth consecutive year and was chosen as the best among the companies awarded in its category. Awarded by Anefac (National Association of Finance, Administration and Accounting Executives) in partnership with FIPECAFI (the Foundation Institute of Accounting, Actuarial and Financial Research) and Serasa Experian, the 21st Troféu Transparência Award recognized the best financial statements in the market.
For 2018, the main macroeconomic factors indicate an improvement in consumption levels in Brazil. Coupled with a better macroeconomic situation, the company is much more confident in its business model that has been showing consistently strong results since the end of 2016.
The intensification of the fast-fashion concept developed and implemented over the last few periods has been the main factor behind the sales performance in same stores and the increse in gross margin seen. The focus now is to maintain consistency. In terms of productivity, the company will continue to seek even better levels of productivity in its stores and management method and process redesign has been a strong ally in the pursuit of generating value on these fronts.
In the field of fixed asset investments, the company should maintain its current pace of expansion and focus on a greater number of renovations.

Can a Non-Linear Change Be Applied to Strategic Management?
Strategic management focuses not just on how your company can improve its performance but how it can be a market leader. The goal of strategic management is to surpass the competition by doing something new and different. Putting a new strategy into action may require making a non-linear change -- a decision that your company will try things it, or the competition, has never tried.
Linear and Non-Linear
Linear change develops logically out of what you've done in the past. If you have a successful sales strategy, for example, merely increasing sales calls or expanding your territory may improve your profits. Non-linear change means adopting a new strategy. Management articles often cite the Olympic high-jump event as an example. High-jumpers originally used the same jumping style as if they were leaping a hurdle, and top jumps reached slightly above 5 feet. When high jumpers tried experimental new styles, world records rose to more than 8 feet.
In business, trying a strategy of non-linear change requires questioning the way your company has always done things. Even if business is good and the company is profitable, you have to ask if making radical changes will put put you in a better position. One way to do this is to look at what you assume are your absolute limits. If you believe your market share can't possibly expand or that your manufacturing process can't possibly become more efficient, see if there's an unexplored approach that can prove you wrong.
Frequent-flier miles are one example of a non-linear change. American Airlines introduced them as a new concept in the 1980s and gained an advantage over its competitors. Before long, other companies began offering frequent-flier miles until they became standard -- companies needed the programs just to stay even. Apple Computers is another example: The company began selling personal computers in the 1970s, a ground-breaking idea in a time when the computer industry marketed almost entirely to governments and big business.
Incorporating non-linear change into strategic planning doesn't require you predict the future, only that you prepare for it. Think about how new technology such as cloud computing or social changes such as the interest in locally grown food might affect your company. Consider whether they're a threat you need to prepare for or an opportunity. Ask how a company with the core competencies your business has can adapt to or take advantage of the future that might be coming. It may take a radical change to cope with the economic environment ahead.

Label Printing Services-Custom Printed Packaging-Flexible Packaging - Sunlea Label Printing
According a report, pressure-sensitive or self-adhesive label has the maximum market share, followed by wet-glue. The global printed labels market is said be worth 41.6 billion USD by 2019 in pressure sensitive and adhesive labels.
While Banerjee stressed that green initiatives and new technologies will be game-changers in the future, he named visual and tactile changes as megatrends. Also, digital printing is going to play key role in future, especially for labels.
Ameya Pradhan of Dabur India stressed on creative solutions and fast delivery. Mnemonics is a key ingredient in labels design and manufacturing, he said. Plus, turnaround time is critical from a brand's perspective.
Pradhan said as packaging and labels are the first introduction of a product/brand with customers, it has been observed that customer usually spend more time with interactive labels in a supermarket than vertical or horizontal labels.
He added that in the FMCG sector, 85% labels are PS. The same is the case with Dabur. This is followed by shrink sleeves and in-mould labels.

Music was pulsating throughout the night as Maryland's largest gay bar, Club Hippo, celebrated its 40th anniversary on July 7. The popular club is situated on the corner of Eager and Charles streets in the heart of Baltimore's Mount Vernon neighborhood.
The staying power of the club over its 40-year tenure is not lost on owner Chuck Bowers.
"This is unheard of," he said in his nostalgia-filled office. "It's because of the people in the community. I hope and pray it continues."
Farrell Maddox, who works at the Hippo as a DJ agreed. "It's amazing that a club can maintain its presence in the community for this length of time. It's a tribute to Chuck because he keeps reinventing things." Bowers has owned the bar since 1978.
In celebration of the community's support, there were drink specials and giveaways. There was no cover the entire night.
Club Hippo, which hosts a number of pageants and other large events, has a spacious dance floor in one section of the club, a saloon with two pool tables and a video-karaoke bar.
Thank you Steve, for many of us, the Hippo is where we found a connection to the outside world from that lonely place, the closet.
Chuck has always returned the support thru community service and hosting fundraisers. A good B'more citizen.

OH - SNAP explains why bishop should "out" predators
For immediate release: Thursday, Aug. 29, 2013
Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 566 9790, email@example.com)
Here's why Bishop Murry should disclose the names and whereabouts of child molesting clerics:
-- Because that's what keeps kids safe. (Parents can protect their kids from child molesters if parents know who they are.)
-- Because just suspending an abuser from his job doesn't 'cure' him.
-- Because Murry has promised to be "open and transparent" in child sex cases.
-- Because the US bishops National Child Sex a Policy mandates "openness and transparency" in child sex cases
-- Because if Fr. Warner is no longer at a treatment center, then he's almost certainly living among unsuspecting families who are unaware of the child sex abuse allegations against him.
-- Because often, there can be no civil or criminal action against child molesting clerics because Catholic officials have kept accusations quiet until the statute of limitations has expired. (In these cases, since the justice system cannot take action, we believe it's even more important that Murry takes action, since that may be the only way the public may be warned and the truth may be revealed.)
Some have questioned whether HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) prevents Murry from revealing whether Fr. Warner is still at a treatment center. That's silly. Catholic officials routinely reveal that their child molesting staffers have been sent to such centers. They can certainly reveal whether the child molesting clerics have since left those centers.
Finally, it's important to look exactly at what Bishop Murry's public relations team has said. They claim the accused deacon and teacher is "not working" in the diocese now.
That doesn't mean he's defrocked. We strongly suspect he hasn't been defrocked. (Only the Vatican can defrock a priest or deacon.) So he is very likely still on the payroll. He may have been suspended, but he's still a diocesan staffer. As such, we think it's especially important that Murry obey the US bishops abuse policy and honor his own promises and err on the side of public safety and disclose this man's name.
To keep his name hidden at this point unfortunately casts doubt about decent, law-abiding Youngstown area deacons.
Here is a copy of the letter we sent this morning to Bishop Murry:
<email@example.com> and <email@example.com> and Fax: 330-742-6448
August 29, 2013
Dear Bishop Murry:
We are writing about three credibly accused child molesting clerics.
We want you to disclose their whereabouts, to reach out to their victims, to warn citizens and Catholic parishioners about them and reveal to citizens and Catholics in your own diocese the identity of the other credibly accused child molesting clerics.
In 2002, US Catholic bishops adopted a supposedly binding national child sex abuse charter mandating "openness and transparency" in child sex abuse cases. SNAP, however, believes that you as the Youngstown Bishop is violating that policy in two recent cases by your "on-going secrecy."
1) You disclosed yesterday that a teacher and deacon no longer works for the diocese "in any capacity" but refused to say why. We suspect it is because that teacher/cleric faces child sex abuse allegations. In fact, we disclosed yesterday that the group has heard from one local man, Jerry Arnal, that he has been molested as a child by a Youngstown Catholic teacher/cleric. Months ago, we also received an anonymous letter that said the teacher/cleric was ousted recently from his post at Cardinal Mooney High School.
For the sake of public safety, and to honor your pledges of "openness, we want you to tell parents, parishioners and the public the name of the teacher/deacon, when and why the he was removed, whether he will ever return to work as a teacher or cleric again, and disclose the man's whereabouts now.
2) We want you to reveal the whereabouts of Fr. John F. Warner, who resigned as pastor of Sts. Philip and James Parish in Canal Fulton in 2011 after an allegation was made that he abused a child years ago at St. Edward's parish in Youngstown. (Your own church panel found the allegation credible.)
In 2011, Fr. Warner was sent to a treatment center. But as best we can tell, you have refused to disclose where Fr. Warner is now. we hope he's still at a facility getting therapy and being kept away from kids (and not quietly living among unsuspecting families without any real supervision or restrictions).
3) If you insist on keeping your own flock "in the dark" about known and suspected abusers, we urge you to at least notify Catholics and citizens in Maryland and Michigan that Fr. John Hammer, an admitted molester, worked and lived in those states. We urge you to buy ads in secular and church newspapers in those states, to reach out to anyone who may have seen, suspected or suffered Fr. Hammer's crimes there, so that he might be prosecuted and so that they might get help.
If you can't bring yourself to be as "open" as you have promised to be in Youngstown, perhaps you will take at least this small step forward in those two states, so that those hurt by Fr. Hammer might know that they are not alone.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Judy Jones of St. Louis, SNAP Midwest Associate Director, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 974 5003, email@example.com )

Nan, Nan, Na-na-na-na-na-Nan
Nan is really good Indian flat bread, and something that N. and I could probably live on (bread-wise). N. came across this really easy recipe, and its now our one and only Nan recipe.
I've seen the word spelled two ways, Nan and Naan. Doesn't matter, a nan by any other name…]]
If you literally follow this recipe to the letter, you'll end up with some very good bread.
3 1/2 cups flour (Maida)
1/2 cup yogurt
1 egg
1/4 cup butter
2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. sugar
3/4 cup water
1 2/3 Tbls. yeast (dried)
1. In a dish, take 5 Tbls. of water, add the yeast and a teaspoon of sugar and stir well. Keep aside for 10-12 minutes. (You will see bubbles on the surface of the mixture which suggests that the yeast is all right). Now, add in the remaining water, sugar, yogurt, egg, butter, and salt. Stir well.
2. Add the flour to this liquid and make into a smooth, soft, and elastic dough. (It will take about 10-15 minutes). Take a warm bowl, butter all the sides and the bottom of the bowl then place the dough in the bowl, cover with a cloth and keep in a warm place until the dough doubles in height (about 40 minutes). Push a finger into the dough. If the impression remains, then it is ready to be baked. Make the dough into 8 equal balls, flatten them into circles with your fingers such that the edges are thicker than the center. Pull one end of the circle so that the dough circle now looks like a tear drop or a balloon in two dimensions. The length is about a handspan and width about a palm.
3. Heat oven to 450F, and on a non-greased baking tray, place the dough. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
We used some leftover hungarian yogurt, and it worked out just fine (in case you happen to be wondering whether or not hungarian yogurt will work).
We did not Use Maida flour. We used regular Organic Unbleached All Purpose flour.
April 14, 2008 11:40 pm
kewl! I'm know what I'm going to try on the weekend 🙂
April 15, 2008 7:05 pm
And I was *just* going to ask you whether or not "Maida" flour needed to be used or whether the flour I have in my cupboard would suffice…thanks for reading my mind! 🙂
Yum…I'm going to bake this tomorrow (just as soon as I get some yogurt)! 🙂
April 15, 2008 7:07 pm
But wait…in the photo above it looks like there are…poppy seeds in the bread? What are those little black dots?
April 16, 2008 1:58 pm
I don't know if you guys like paratha, but it's another great Indian bread. It's a little bit time consuming, but not hard. We eat it with yogurt as a meal. You have to eat it while it's hot! I'm putting my recipe (passed from a friend, written from memory 🙂 if you want to try it:
Take about 3 cups flour (I use Durum Atta flour – I buy it at our local Indian grocery – haven't tried any other kinds); add water really slowly and mix w/ hand until it sticks together. Let it sit for a minute; wet hand and knead. Put about 1 teaspoon oil on and knead a bit more.
Chop real small ½ onion, 2 green chilies and about 2 tablespoons cilantro.
Mash 3 or 4 cooked potatoes, add pinches of salt and red chili powder. Mix in the other veggies. It should be pretty salty tasting.
Make dough into balls; flatten; stuff w/ potato mixture; close tightly; roll flat and cook.

The birth of folk rock comes to life in Wounds to Bind: A Memoir of the Folk Rock Revolution, Jerry Burgan's unforgettable memoir of the pre-psychedelic 1960s.

Exquisite, faintly ominous ceramic objects merging plants and insects are at the centre of Angela Valamanesh's exhibition Everybody's Everything: Insect/Orchid.
This work is the result of a residency undertaken this year with the Barr Smith Library's Rare Books and Special Collections at the University of Adelaide. Valamanesh was drawn to the collection's original paintings of Adelaide Hills orchids by local botanical illustrator Rosa Fiveash (1854–1938).
In a departure from Valamanesh's previous unglazed work, these are finished with a shiny dark glaze. "I didn't want to use glaze for a long time because it interferes or puts a barrier between the viewer and the experience of the clay," she explains. "I was waiting for a reason to use it." Like Karl Blossfeldt's influential early 20th-century photographs of architectural plant forms, these highly polished sculptural surfaces remind the viewer of the extraordinary engineering found in nature at microscopic scale. The glaze is an echo of the shellac varnish we still derive from the k. lacca beetle. At up to 30 centimetres long, Valamanesh's works have a bigger presence than the orchids and insects they reference. Some will be wall-hung for this show; others will be laid specimen-like in cabinets. Valamanesh plans to display some of Fiveash's botanical publications alongside her work.
"Some orchids look a lot like human body parts, very fleshy and erotic. And specific insects fertilise some of them – there's a spider orchid and a bee orchid." In this way, her blending of different species can be understood as a conceptually as well as materially lucid synthesis. In a culturally divisive and ecologically traumatised present, the personified title of the work might also nudge us towards a gentle reminder that we, alongside all other living things, are made from the same carbon atoms.

Thanks to the recent TV series, Spartacus is now the best known gladiator of them all: breaking out of a gladiatorial ludus in Capua with a handful of men, from 73-71 BCE he defeated Roman armies time and time again, until he was defeated by Marcus Licinius Crassus Dives, then the richest man in Rome. We know little about his personality or aims, except that he originally came from Thrace (for more on Roman Thrace see here); vilified by the Romans he was rediscovered as a hero in the 19th century as a revolutionary hero and has remained so ever since.
Above is a map showing one version of the initial troop movements of the war (source); this interactive map allows you to track Spartacus' movements around Italy (although it should be noted that our sources are contradictory and sometimes not all that clear about precise locations.)
The above is the famous "I'm Spartacus" scene from Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus (1960). Everyone should watch that scene at least once in their lives, otherwise they have not truly lived.
To anyone interested not just in Spartacus but the two slave wars before him, both of which were fought in Sicily, I highly recommend Brent Shaw's Spartacus and the Slaves Wars (2001); it contains a range of primary source documents about the wars and Roman slavery.

I am sure oldsters remember her. She was this incredible versatile actress and singer and songwriter. She was in Roots Next Generation, starred in Fame and won awards for her song Fame and for her acting performance. She also cowrote and sang Flashdance Oh What A Feeling.
She had an incredble promise yet post Flashdance it never materialized. Neither her acting career nor singing career ever came close to what it was if anything she vanished.
I never undersrood why. Anyone know?
She has such a great voice singing Fame. Those dancers were horrible the guy in red you cannot take your eyes off him. It looks like he never attended a rehearsel. She did hit him at the 4:06 mark, accident of course or was it?
The song Flashdance. Great voice.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irene_Cara.Also her wiki page.
Anyone else besides me wonder why her career just well collapsed? Usually career collapses due to drugs, alcohol or crime. This had none of those.
Oh if you never watched Fame original version see it. Also I saw Fame performed on stage if you are involved in a young folks acting company this is an excellent choice.

FT Deutschland, the Financial Times' German edition founded just 12 years ago, will publish it's final issue today.
To mark the occasion, it went very dark — and also slightly unhinged.
First, they put up this cartoon, in which the newsseller says, "A good newspaper? I'd recommend FT Deutschland" — to which the Grim Reaper responds, "Great. I'll take it."
And here is the final front page.
It says: "In the end, dark."
It turns out their entire homepage is dedicated to the paper's end, and there's a lot of other weird stuff going on, including pictures of a dogleash to represent the "authoritarian" nature of the group's PR regime, and a picture of the entire newsroom bowing en masse in supplication to its "dearest readers and advertisers" for failing to make a viable product.

Vietnam Veterans Saluted at Brownville Freedom Day Parade, Patriotic Program
Many braved the heat Wednesday, July 4 coming to Brownville to celebrate the 242nd birthday of the United States. The midmorning parade down Main Street was followed by a Patriotic Program at Boettner Park. Suzanne Jarman gave a tribute to Vietnam veterans.
"The Vietnam War will not be forgotten. It is near and dear to many of our hearts. We thank the Vietnam veterans for their service and welcome them home," she noted. "The military has been important to me my entire life. I've had a wonderful Army experience. I wouldn't trade anything for all we've encountered. I've been to the (Freedom Day) parade several times. I love this town," Jarman said. Her father was a commander in the U.S. Navy and a Naval aviator. Military life took Jarman from Hawaii to Newfoundland as well as many locations stateside. Her husband, Col. Kenneth Jarman is a Vietnam veteran serving 28 years in the U.S. Army. The couple spent nine years in Germany, four years in Alaska and time in many other states. The Jarmans' sons were in the U.S. Army, graduating from The Citadel and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. She urges everyone encountering a veteran to thank them for serving their nation. Jarman recently was elected the 68th State Regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). She is an associate member of the Otoe Chapter of DAR, including members from Nemaha and other regional counties. The DAR promotes education, patriotism and historic preservation
