MOMA is free on friday eves
And by some strange coincidence, every time I come to New York I happen by MOMA at the perfect time. Which means I haven't enjoyed an uncrowded gallery in many moons, but I don't mind the people so much.
There's a neat works on paper exhibit on right now.
I love art that is meticulous and organized… because I could never have the patience to make such a thing myself.
But I also adore things like RR's huge mixed media pieces
and quilts made from little pattened paper
and elizabeth peyton's dreamy portraits
And just going to see art in general. Which we have lots of here in LA, but I never seem to leave my backyard on the weekends… must do something about that.

UKOUG Super SIG - 14-MAR-2006
The Super SIG is a joint day between the Development Engineering, Modelling & Design and Application Server SIGs. It's a bit like the conference only without keynotes and an exhibition i.e. just the interesting bits (am I allowed to say that? Oh well, I've said it). These SIGs have an overlapping audience but we frequently don't get the level of attendance that the database and Applications SIGs get, for reasons that are both complicated and mysterious. So last year UKOUG decided to have a combined SIG day with three streams. This was a roaring success and we've decided to run it again this year. If the success is repeated the Super SIG will become a permanent fixture in the UKOUG calendar.
I put together the DE SIG stream and I think it is a strong one. We have my colleague Ivan Pellegrin talking on Customer Data Hub and Data Quality. The whole Data Hub thing is one of Oracle's initiatives that seems like a good idea but doesn't seem to get a lot of attention. Then we have Jonathan Ellard of Oracle Consulting presenting a case study on XML Publisher, placing it in the context of Oracle's other reporting tools. Mark Rittman may think we're stepping on his toes but tools are part of our remit and a couple of attendees at previous SIGs have expressed an interest in finding out more about XML Publisher and how it compares with Reports and Discoverer. Jonathan hasn't yet got written clearance from the client, so he may have to present the case study in an anonymised version, which is always a tough on to pull off.
Next up is the blogosphere's very own "Bobalicious" Bob Baillie (providing he survives his snowboarding holiday in one piece). As those familiar with his blog may have guessed, Bob's going to be talking about applying Agile practices to Oracle development projects. Lastly, Sue Harper, who we got on a free transfer from the M&D SIG, will be giving an overview of SQL Developer (AKA Raptor).
What is unusual about this line-up is that there are no presentations on Forms or Java. For a long time the DE SIG has really been the Forms SIG; in the last couple of years as Oracle has started to position Forms as a J2EE tool and to put the spotlight on JDeveloper we have done lots on Java. Our Oracle buddy is the very wonderful Duncan Mills after all. Still, there's a lot more to Oracle development than GUI tools and I hope this SIG will emphasise the fact.
The afternoon will finish with all three SIGs coming together for a presentation by Debi Platt of the Department of Work and Pensions on assistive technology for building accessible software. This is an important area which doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves, and which legally we are obliged to give it. That is why we decided it ought to be a joint session rather than be assigned to one SIG's stream.
The other SIGs have equally interesting agendas. The venue, Baylis House in Slough, is very pleasant and the lunch last year was top notch. If your organisation has a UKOUG membership then please come along. Because there are three SIGs on the same day each membership can send along three delegates. So, if your membership is dominated by one or two people who go to everything then this is the perfect opportunity to attend for free. Hope to see you there.

For many of us, our pets are also our friends. Our pets however, also need other animal friends. Dogs in particular are genetically predisposed to need the company of other dogs — it's a pack animal thing.
While it is not necessary to own more than one dog (although I do believe many dogs appreciate not being only members of a family-pack) it is important to allow our canine friends the opportunity to have other canine friends.
Beagle buddies
Jenny and her friends Ruby and Gus for example, can meet up on a trail, run and have fun. Public areas where dog friendly dogs and humans hang out is a good source of animal interaction. This is also a place where dogs can meet and make friends; people can then meet and arrange to walk their pups at the same time on certain days.
Jenny, Gus, and Ruby
Or a more informal arrangement is possible; if you walk in the same pet friendly area at around the same time of day during a week, you will find yourself running into fellow repeat users of the space. In Vancouver for example, on a nice weekend my sister and I used to make a point of heading over to the North Shore and a very pet friendly beach. Our friend would tag along with her very socially oriented Springer Spaniel while Bonny the Schnauzer would also accompany us. Bonny would ignore everyone, unless she saw a male dog peeing – then she would run over to pee over top of his marking. (She really was an interesting if somewhat dominant personality.) The Springer had the option of happily greeting everyone, dog and person. Fortunately, you tend to run into other dog loving people in dog parks.
We would see some of the same weekend park people each visit; my sister was particularly taken with the "Boxer guys" and I think this is why we ultimately ended up with our Boxer, Keeper. But that's another story. The North Shore was busy enough that we didn't make friends – we went there with friends and the casual atmosphere led to lots of hellos and learning more dog names than people names.
Katie, sweet sister but terrible roomate
Some dogs actually do better playing with each other when they are not living in the same territory. That's how it was for Gracie and her sister Katie. They got along swell playing on neutral territory but things got a little intense once they were sharing a house. It turns out that same age Bull Terriers often have a problem living together, even more so when they are same gender. This is another advantage of doggy play areas. Dogs can socialize and have dog friends, even if they live as only pets at home.
Gracie has another outlet for meeting and making friends. She is a regular visitor at Pet Sitters Plus in Negaunee, MI. The folks there not only treat her like a member of their family, they make sure Gracie gets lots of supervised play with doggie appropriate friends.
English Bulldog
One of Gracie's very best friends is an English Bulldog – Tank. Tank is a little unusual for a Bulldog, in that he has as much energy as a Bull Terrier. He and Gracie have a blast tearing around the outdoor play area of the kennel, chasing and wrestling with each other. They are a similar size (Tank is on the smaller side for a Bulldog) and energy level and neither is easily offended by poor doggy manners. They both lack a well defined sense of personal body space and boundaries and are happy to find another dog who shares their energy level and sense of fun.
They are also supervised while playing, and kept contained, so that their youthful energy and lack of common sense keeps them from getting into trouble, banging into more sensitive animals, and out of potential danger areas like roads and bike paths. This is the kind of super happy senseless play that needs to be contained, not allowed to happen in a busy area. Doggy day care is a great way for either single dogs or dogs like Gracie with rather unique play sensibilities, to socialize and exercise.
Of course, one can keep several dogs at once. This does not mean, however, that all dogs put together will make a happy pack. And just because you live with more than one dog doesn't mean that each dog's individual play and socialization needs are being met.
Jenny for example can get her social needs met in lots of ways. She is a welcome visitor at several family homes and by welcome, I mean the dog that lives in each of these homes is happy to see and play with her. She can visit the feed stores with me and meet and greet animals there. She can use parks and doggy walking areas. At home though, Jenny can find Gracie, her adopted sister, a little overwhelming. Gracie and Jenny don't always meet each others social and play needs. Jenny tends to be the bossy older sister who wants to squash activity and is a bit of a tattle-tale. She is also more sensitive and has a much more defined sense of personal space than Gracie. She has been known, in fact, to jump up and bark at Gracie for rolling on the floor too close to her – even without touching.
One of the many reasons I chose to add a young Labrador to our family pack was to meet some of the social and play needs of Gracie while not further offending Jenny's sense of well being. People think I'm only joking when I say, "Lil is Gracie's puppy."
A well bred Labrador should be an easy going dog with an even temperament. This perfectly describes Lil. She is gentle, playful, forgiving, and young. She and Gracie can wrestle and play until both are worn out and collapse and sleep. Lil is also more flexible in her play style and will play in a much slower, gentler fashion with Jenny. She was the right addition to our family-pack because her personality matched the personality of both the older dogs already living there. Plus, she was trainable and intelligent enough to work with the person in the room, who was not interested in adding any new behavior challenges to the mix.
These are a sample of ways to keep one's dog socialized: doggy parks and play areas; doggy day cares; home visits; getting out and about in dog friendly areas; and owning compatible dogs who are also all trained to be good canine citizens. I must note here that dogs learn quickly from each other and will learn bad habits and behaviors as readily as good ones from older doggy mentors. Jenny can be a good role model for teaching a younger dog to come to their name, however, on her naughty days she can also teach, "I'm deaf to all human voices." Adding a new dog to a home where the established dog(s) are not trained will only increase the tension and difficulties in the home.
I welcome your stories of doggy friends, play places, and my favorite – who are your dog's best friends?
Jenny's best buddy is not either of her sisters – it is my parent's very solid, handsome, same age Boxer – Bogart. He and Jenny will happily spend hours just laying in the yard together, sharing sun beams.

The R1100S is BMW's most sporty machine, with a 97bhp twin cylinder Boxer motor, underseat exhausts and – for a BMW rather good looking bodywork too.
But against a Ducati, MV Agusta, or even a Yamaha R6, the R1100S still has a little bit of an image problem.
However, BMW are already re-inventing themselves and their new Sport model, plus
Sportmoto options package, for the R1100S are intended to make you look – and think twice when shopping around for your next sporting trackday tool.
A BMW that's perfect for trackdays – mission impossible surely?
I have to admit to liking the BMW R1100S straight from the crate. It's a lightweight, (for a BMW), sharp handling, yet comfortable sportsbike.
So many stunning looking machines like Ducati's, 'Blades, R1s and so on, are all basically a pain in the neck after 50-ish motorway miles, or ten minutes in heavy traffic. By comparison, the Beemer is sheer luxury.
There's a trade-off for this comfort of course. The R1100S makes a great roadbike, but as anyone who has taken it to a trackday can testify, it can feel slightly too soft in its suspension, brakes and power delivery to really cut it in the fast group.
Power in particular is a problem at tracks like Donington, where no amount of daring cornering through Craner and the Old Hairpin, is going to keep you ahead of something as blisteringly fast as an R1 once you hit the main straight.
The solution is fairly simple with most modern superbikes; firmer suspension, wider tyres, less weight and more power. The Sport model from BMW themselves offers nearly all this, but retains the stock bhp power output.
But the real fun begins when you ride the Sportmoto options model. It's a short list of mods, which includes one ace feature which every R1100S owner should try; an 11bhp boost from a replacement EPROM engine management chip, plus free breathing exhaust system.
The cost is £625 (plus VAT) dealer fitted (and it MUST be dealer fitted), which isn't cheap, but the difference is remarkable. Now kicking out 108bhp around 7500rpm, instead of the stock 97bhp, the R1100S pulls out of corners with a real urgency, rather than a steady drone. It also sounds vastly better too; the bike has a deep, rough-edged bark to match its bite now.
Sadly, the one-off exhaust from Rugby based Sportmoto isn't road legal, but for track use, it isn't ridiculously loud, so if the circuit has a decibel limit, you should be OK. The other ingredient which will help you stick with quick riders on Japanese fours and Italian V-twins is the PFM developed braking kit. This consists of a cast iron pair of discs, quickly detachable carriers, plus six pot pistons. As BMW allowed a small posse of journalists out onto Cadwell's Club circuit to test the variously modified bikes, it was soon obvious that the brakes gave you a three, maybe four bike length advantage rushing into Park corner at the end of the main straight. The discs themselves are actually made from cast iron, rather than the usual stainless steel, which will lead to some surface corrosion if you ride in wet weather and then leave your bike standing overnight. But iron gives much better feel, and generates more friction against the pads. Race compound brake pads are also available from Sportmoto if you need them and as the kit has been used on race winning V & M Yamahas, I think we can safely say that it works.
A session on the bike with uprated brakes was fine and dandy. But the real fun started when aboard a stock R1100S, whilst playing tag with Motorcycle Sport road tester, and sometime racer, Alan Benallick.
A couple of hard laps saw me gain a little bit on Alan, as his right hand was still suffering from crash damage, which restricted his braking somewhat. But Alan's bike had the re-mapped ignition and fuel injection set-up from the Sportmoto chip inside its cases, and the extra acceleration sent his bike rocketing away out of corners. A 12% gain in power output doesn't sound much on paper, but on tarmac, it translates into seriously addictive lunge.
On a tight track like Cadwell, I reckon you could stick with all but the fastest boys aboard the chipped R1100S, especially as recent suspension improvements to the stock model have firmed things up to the point where you have to be at almost mental lean angles to deck out the footpegs.
The neat thing about the BMW is that you can simply dial in some extra clicks of pre-load into the rear monoshock, then head out for another track session to gauge the difference. No fiddly spannering, no rooting about in the dirt to accomplish a little improvement. Smart thinking BMW.
The PFM brakes cost £999 retail, which is serious money. You'd be mad to spend that amount of cash and then not go for the chip and pipe kit too, which brings the bill up to 1750 notes, or thereabouts. BMW also have some sexy looking factory, and beautiful A C Schnitzer, accessories available, which will add to the looks of your bike. So let's make it a round two grand, on top of the eight grand list price for a new R1100S.
Yep, we're at a level where you're spending 10,000 quid to make a BMW twin fast enough to potentially humiliate a £6,000 Japanese 600cc four around Oulton Park. Not sensible, not something a slightly dull accountant called Gerald might contemplate.
But life on a motorcycle is all about fun, individuality, going slightly crazy at the weekend. So if you have the cash – and have one sensible eye on your bike's future re-sale value – then maybe the Sportmoto R1100S is sexy enough to tempt you.
For me, it proved a revelation. Functional, yet funky. In a nutshell, it was mission accomplished.
Get BMW bike insurance for the bmw r1100s.

Pulaski County says hot checks lawsuit should be tossed
An attorney for Pulaski County says a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Sherwood's hot-check court should be dismissed.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/2cNRY8V ) that David Fuqua's response filed Tuesday denies wrongdoing and says the lawsuit should be tossed because it fails to state a proper claim. The filing also attacks the plaintiffs' rights to file the action.
The lawsuit filed Aug. 23 by the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law alleges Sherwood and the county violate the constitutional rights of thousands of residents and are effectively operating a debtors' prison by imposing hefty fines and jail time on thousands of people whose checks bounce.
The city of Sherwood and District Court Judge Milas "Butch" Hale III previously denied the claims.

31 Stream Lane
Levittown, PA
Dear-Praying-Friends, June 12, 2015
Greetings in His matchless Name!
"Happy Father's Day"!
Well, here we are again. The Fedena's are still on the road. Last Lord's Day we were called to preach at the Race St. Baptist Church in Catasauqua, PA where our dear friend, Gary Freeman pastors. He has been in treatment for serious cancer for the last 10 years! (The Drs said that with his type of cancer the life expectancy was only 4 years, but the Great Physician had other plans for him.) He is not "out of the woods" and continues his treatments. He felt he couldn't handle the services on the Lord's Day well as he is just recovering from his last hospital go-round, so he called me on Saturday and it happened (coincidence?!) that I was not booked. We had good services and, as always, a super song service with his son, Jason, playing the gospel piano and singing several songs.
Our next meeting will be with Pastor Arthur Gilmore and his good folks in Easton, PA and we will be taking brother Jason Freeman with us for a great day of Gospel playing, singing and blessing. Pastor Gilmore is doing better, but his wife is limping along after knee surgery.
On the 4th of July weekend we will be in Rio Grande, NJ where my wife's nephew, Jeff McLeod is the pastor. We are always delighted to be there and I will be preaching there that Wednesday evening. We will meet our longtime friends and college buddies, Evangelist Herb Brail and his dear wife Marge (from Chicago) in Cape May/Rio Grande for several days of relaxation and tract ministry on the "boards" in Wildwood and the promenade and walking mall in Cape May. Brother Brail is a Gospel Magician and we take his little bunny rabbit ("Mr. Toddles") and/or his white dove ("Snow White") to draw an audience. It is amazing to see how many people come to us (!) to see the animals and of course we hand each family a gospel tract. We have been doing this for several years and Pastor McLeod provides the tracts with his church info printed on the back. We give out hundreds to the crowds and most actually thank us!
We are looking forward to the Northeast Vision Conference again this year at Solid Rock Baptist Church and the great music and preaching and teaching there – as well as the good food and fellowship. If you are in reasonable driving distance, by all means come. In my opinion it is better than a Sword Conference or a Pastor's School – and it is closer in distance and closer to my heart since I have had the privilege of teaching in their School of the Scriptures for many years. I really miss that ministry…
The excitement is building as we near the date when we move out of the hotel where our church meets in Princeton, NJ. Pastor Guarneri has much more patience than I do and seems to handle the many TWP roadblocks, building glitches and delays with great grace. We were supposed to be in the new building by Mother's Day. Then we moved the date to the first part of May, and now it looks like we may have to wait till late June or early July. Things are nearly complete, but we still have TWP inspections, permits, etc. to endure. The building is looking good and everything inside is nearly completed. My son Dan is providing his services free-of-charge and has completed the audio/visual installation, security cameras, etc. saving our church a large sum of money. He was hurt on the job there and is looking at surgery next week on his foot. It will be a lengthy and painful recovery. He has done a great job and is very meticulous and exacting in whatever he does. We will have a top notch audio system and two 70 inch video screens for announcements, hymns, sermon outlines, etc. (I can't wait to try out the screens for my visuals!)
I am completing a loooong verse-by-verse series through the exciting book of Revelation on Wednesday nights. Pastor Guarneri has been gracious giving up his Wed. nights for this ministry for many months. It is an in-depth study and we are nearing the finish line. This coming Wed. I will be in chapter 21 (verses 9-14) teaching a lesson I have entitled "SOME CALL IT HEAVEN, BUT I CALL IT HOME!"
Shirley has just finished up with her in-home re-hab under Medicare and has done pretty well overall. She still has trouble with balance and strength and at home uses a walker, but when we go out for meetings, etc. she is in a wheel chair. She is doing better with her oxygen and we now have a portable concentrator so we can again take overnight meetings. She is no longer eligible for surgery due to her age (maybe I shouldn't have said that! But neither of us are "spring chickens" anymore). We praise the Lord for all the meals supplied by our family and church family. What a blessing!!!
Lastly, we are patiently (or impatiently) awaiting the restoration of our home after a water pipe breaking from our refrigerator ice-maker. We had a flood in every room except our bedrooms. All the wood flooring was damaged, along with carpet in the family room and our living room. We haven't heard from the insurance company regarding the final estimate for repairs as yet – hopefully soon as the house is a mess at this point. Oh well, our real home is in heaven and it is complete and perfect. We are planning on moving there soon.
Sincerely in the Savior,
Pastor (e) Paul C. Fedena

The principal aim of the Team USA Scholarship is to provide opportunities for young American race car drivers at an early stage in their careers. This includes funded drives and introductions to influential figures within the sport who will provide valuable insight and contacts to assist their progress up the racing "ladder."
The Team USA Scholarship was founded in 1990. At the time, opportunities for young American drivers were few and far between. Also, Formula Ford in England was going through a lean spell. British championship races were being canceled due to a lack of entries and it seemed that the future of the Formula Ford Festival, which had provided an end-of-season opportunity for talented up-and-coming drivers from around the world since 1972, was in jeopardy. So it seemed like a good idea to raise some sponsorship and create an opportunity for a talented young American to contest the Formula Ford Festival and World Cup at Brands Hatch. A program was instituted at relatively short notice and Jimmy Vasser was dispatched to England…where he faced one of the largest entries the Festival had ever attracted, over 200 cars!
In 1995, with Formula Ford again going through the doldrums following a decision to replace the trusty Kent engine with the newer Zetec motor, the decision was made to enter that year's Team USA Scholarship winner (Memo Gidley) in a non-championship end-of-season International Formula 3 race at Donington Park in England.
The high cost of F3 and the growth of American Dan Partel's Formula Vauxhall/Lotus initiative, through his European Formula Drivers Association, led to a switch to the EFDA Nations Cup event, also at Donington, in 1996.
In 1999, the Team USA Scholarship switched its attention to Formula Palmer Audi, which offered a four-race Winter Series in England and unparalleled value for money.
The scholarship has always tended to provide opportunities for American youngsters to compete on an international stage, in order to expand the drivers' range of knowledge about the sport as a whole. After a few years of focusing instead on the New Zealand International Formula Ford Championship (starting in 2001/2002), which was especially attractive due to favorable currency exchange rates, the Team USA Scholarship switched back to Formula Palmer Audi Autumn Trophy in time for the 2005 season. FPA continued to provide an excellent training ground until a decision was made to return to the scholarship's roots and provide opportunities for drivers at an earlier stage in their development. Hence a move back to contesting the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch — and the fast-emerging Walter Hayes Trophy at Silverstone — in 2008.
The program's increasing reach and credibility allowed the introduction of a "second tier" level, beginning with an entry in the senior Formula Ford Duratec category in 2011, followed by a switch to the popular and extremely competitive Formula Renault BARC Winter Series in 2012 and then an entry into the New Zealand's Toyota Racing Series in 2013/2014.
All along, entries into the Formula Ford Festival and Walter Hayes Trophy have continued to provide the primary focus. Josef Newgarden (left) became the first American driver to win the Festival in 2008 — and went on to win the Verrizon IndyCar Series championship with Team Penske in 2018 — while Conor Daly, Connor De Phillippi and Tristan Nunez took top honors in the WHT in 2008, 2009 and 2012, respectively.
Since 2016 the Team USA Scholarship winners also have been granted an opportunity to contest the Mazda Road to Indy USF2000 $200K Scholarship Shootout, which offers a scholarship of $200,000 to ensure entry into the following year's Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda — the first step on the Mazda Road to Indy, which offers opportunities for drivers to progress all the way from the grassroots of the sport to the Verizon IndyCar Series and the Indianapolis 500.
Oliver Askew won the inaugural Scholarship Shootout and then went on to win the USF2000 championship in 2017. That feat earned him another Mazda Scholarship, worth $325,000, to graduate into the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires in 2018.

Analysing interaction – we call them 'heat maps'4 minute read
Hot or cold? Which of your campaign links are gaining the most traction, who is clicking them, when, and how often? Analysing opens and clicks is a good start but there's also a wealth of intelligence to be gained by looking at a deeper level of interaction.
A subscriber interaction overlay (we prefer to call it a 'heat map') is a neat way of displaying click information directly onto your campaign layout. It provides a visual representation of the interaction with each of the campaign links directly showing the relative engagement with each link.
While an interaction map doesn't provide individual subscriber level information, it does provide valuable feedback on your audience's engagement with your campaign layout and their attraction and interest in specific content areas. This can be used to improve aspects like the priority of content pieces and the relative performance of different calls to action – for example text or image links. It's also useful for optimally arranging associated content – you might, for example, wish to put special offers or sponsor advertising close to high traction areas in your campaign.
Here's an example from one of our recent newsletters.
It's a collection of blog posts with click through to additional content via both text links and the associated images. People are generally attuned to the colour and underline format of text links (and in this case with reading from left to right) so these have typically attracted more clicks than the associated image. There are no direct call to action buttons here, but of course telling people specifically what their required action should be is always going to perform well too. Bearing in mind that attention naturally diminishes further down the page, this also gives information on the relative interest of each article – information that can give pointers to an improved headlines and ordering of content for future issues.
The next step is to generate a subscriber interaction report. Typically this provides information on which individual subscribers have opened your campaign and when, which links they have clicked and any other stored profile information relating to that subscriber. Either use this information directly or combine it with marketing automation rules which automatically categorise and organise your subscribers according to their activity. You can also use marketing automation rules to trigger alerts – opening a campaign and clicking a specific link are common examples of activity which you or your sales team may wish to be alerted to. And of course, feed these alerts directly into your CRM system – so the information is exactly where you need it.
As a final thought – it's worth mentioning that although subscriber level analytics are readily available, they should be used with sensitivity. Most email savvy consumers are aware that their campaign interactions are being monitored, but visibly (even aggressively) acting on this information may cause you to negatively influence future behaviour – so if you're using this information to directly re-target… be subtle.

Oceans are essential to life on Earth: They cover more than two-thirds of the planet and contain 97 percent of its water. They absorb carbon from the atmosphere, helping regulate our climate. They provide humans with food and transportation routes for trade and travel. And best of all, they're filled with magnificent life, from tiny plankton to enormous blue whales.
While generally places of wonder and beauty, some marine ecosystems are becoming quite ugly—covered with toxic algae, tainted by chemical pollution, deprived of oxygen and choking—absolutely choking—with plastic and other trash. With cars, power plants and factories burning more fossil fuels than ever before, the seas are absorbing so much carbon dioxide that seawater's becoming excessively acidic to the point that it's killing coral, plankton and shellfish. Species are being lost at an extraordinary rate due to overfishing, and rising water temperatures caused by climate change are driving many marine animals to the brink of extinction.
"Over my lifetime I've seen big changes; far fewer fish and terribly deteriorated coral reefs worldwide. More mercury in seafood," says Safina Center founder and president Carl Safina. "Growing up, we knew nothing of melting polar ice or acidification."
Despite the many problems facing the oceans, there have been many success stories. For example, Safina points out the 1972 ban on DDT led to the recovery of osprey and eagles, fish-eating birds that were once a rare sight on the East Coast, where he grew up. Additionally, Safina and others worked with the UN to ban enormous driftnets and to pass other legislation meant to curb overfishing. As a result, many fish species along the coasts are recovering.
Today, World Oceans Day, is the perfect time to think about our relationship with oceans. First celebrated unofficially on June 8, 1992, as part of the United Nation's Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, World Oceans Day became an "official" UN-recognized holiday in 2008, with the first UN World Oceans Day held on June 8, 2009.
The purpose of World Oceans Day: to celebrate the beauty and wonder of the oceans and its creatures, and ocean-conservation success stories, while bringing attention to the many problems they face so that they may be changed.
Carl Safina and his staff have played leading roles in ocean conservation since the early 1990s, before the first official World Oceans Day. Here's an overview of some our proudest ocean-related accomplishments:
- Our founder and president Carl Safina has worked extensively on fishing policies such as the United Nations ban on high-seas drift nets, and a major overhaul of U.S. fishing law that is resulting in many recovering fish populations along our coasts. Carl hosted the 10-part PBS series Saving the Ocean; he's written about ocean issues in Song for the Blue Ocean, Eye of the Albatross, Voyage of the Turtle and other books. He chronicled the 2010 Deepwater Horizon blowout in A Sea in Flames, and he writes and speaks regularly about oceans and conservation in various media and as a guest on NPR and at CNN.com.

- Experts including research scientist and Sustainable Seafood Program Director Elizabeth Brown-Hornstein and fisheries scientist Eric Gilman contribute to the Safina Center's Sustainable Seafood Program, which works to translate the latest seafood science so that consumers, chefs, fish sellers and medical professionals can make better choices about buying, selling and catching seafood.
- Safina Center Writer in Residence Paul Greenberg writes about seafood and fisheries; he is the author of James Beard Award-winning, New York Timesbestseller Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food, and American Catch, and is currently working on a new book called The Omega Principle: A Journey to the Bottom of the Marine Food Web that explores the importance of forage fish in the marine food web. He just contributed to a coming PBS Frontline documentary on salmon.
- Safina Center Creative Affiliate Chris Jordan is a visual artist who has explored the issue of plastic use and plastic pollution in the oceans in his piece "Blue" and photography series "Midway: Message from the Gyre."
- Safina Center Creative Affiliate Lori Marino is a neuroscientist, animal behavior expert and Founder/Executive Director of The Whale Sanctuary Project, a new nonprofit with the goal of establishing a seaside sanctuary for cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) retired from aquariums or injured in the wild.
- Safina Center Fellow Hob Osterlund is a Hawaii-based photographer and author who works to conserve albatross, one of the islands' most beloved native seabirds.
- Safina Center Fellows Shawn Heinrichs—filmmaker, photographer and marine conservationist—and John Weller—writer, filmmaker and photographer—work together to bring attention to marine conservation issues through photography and film campaigns, which have successfully resulted in new shark and manta ray sanctuaries in the Bahamas and Micronesia, as well as new marine protected areas in Indonesia, and a new international law protecting manta rays.
- Past Safina Center Fellow Ellen Prager, author and marine scientist, recently published several children's books in her Tristan Hunt and the Sea Guardians series to education young people about ocean conservation issues.
- Past Safina Center Fellows Demien Chapman and Debra Abercrombie, shark geneticists and conservationists, have worked to fight the shark fin trade and help strengthen wild shark populations by advocating for policies limiting the trade of sharks and shark products.
This World Oceans Day we should celebrate pasts successes, but also look to the future. While a lot's been accomplished, there's still much to do to help the oceans. The oceans can recover, says Carl. "But we need more people involved. We need you. No one can do everything, but every one can do something. Ask yourself what you can do—then get involved."

Here's What 5 Black Men Said About Breaking Guy Code & Holding Other Men Accountable
She's invited you over for dinner, spoke highly of you as one of his "cool friends" and allowed you to spend quality time with their family. Your homie's wife thinks you're the type of friend her spouse needs in his life. You and your mans have been tight since the third grade, you were the best man in his wedding and play pickup together every week. You're his ride or die and ultimately trusts you more than most.
MUST WATCH: What Single Black Men Are Saying: "I'm Looking For Women Who Are Whole"
As good of a guy that your homie is, he cheats on his wife once in a while. Every time y'all go out, you're faced with the dilemma of playing wing man or the bird on his left shoulder saying "chill out remember your Mrs. at home." In your heart you want to say something because you know it ain't cool. But that's your guy, and at the end of the day, it's not your life.
"It isn't my place to say something."
"That's that man's choice. I ain't got nothing to do with that."
"He know what he doing."
"She probably doing the same thing."
All common responses I hear when the other friend speaks about their guy who behaves egregiously. It's not just cheating, there are hundreds of questionable behaviors that brothers overlook in the name of brotherhood. Your homie could be the worst daddy ever, verbally or physically abuse his lady and every other thing, but some men won't speak up. Guy code is almost as strict as the "no snitching" code in the streets. You might ask, but you damn sure don't tell.
I asked a group of Black men about why brothers don't speak up when they see their brother veering off the path. Here's what they had to say.
Glenn Crawford, 30, St. Louis MO
If the men in your circle don't hold you accountable for your actions then you need to find a new circle. I say things to guys every now and then, but I don't often because I see "A LOT" of wrong doing. When I speak on it a couple of times and my words go in one ear and out of the other I just save my breath.
Sometimes people think things that aren't even true. For instance, I'll be having a casual conversation with a young woman at work and some of the older men will come over and start dropping hints about my wife. It's nice to know they care about my marriage, but I'm not flirting or engaging in any forbidden acts with this woman, just conversation.

Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill now be read a second time. This is a Finance Bill which continues to deliver on Labour's promises, enacting Budget decisions to deliver opportunity and security for the hard-working families of Britain.
In the Finance Bill there are new measures to encourage work, improve productivity and protect the environment. The March Budget also set the spending envelope for the spending review, consistent with a continuing commitment to fiscal prudence and stability. With the March Budget and now the outcome of the spending review announced by the Chancellor last week, the country can be in no doubt that we are working hard for a stronger and fairer Britain, where there is opportunity and security for all, releasing substantial new resources for health and education, tackling child poverty, supporting pensioners, improving transport and tackling crime. But this is only possible because we have delivered a platform of stability and sustainable public finances.
Inflation is now at 2.2 per cent--close to our inflation target of 2.5 per cent, which was confirmed in the March Budget. Inflation outturns have been close to target over the whole of the past year. More people are in work than ever before. Employment is up by over 1 million since the election. With the assistance of the New Deal, long-term unemployment is at its lowest level for 20 years and youth unemployment at its lowest for a generation.
Real take-home pay is up by between 8 and 25 per cent, and when spending on areas we are targeting such as children and pensions is taken out, welfare spending is falling for the first time in decades. Based on clear fiscal rules--a current budget in surplus and borrowing only to invest within prudent and cautious limits--this sustained and sustainable improvement in our public finances has made possible a sustained and sustainable improvement in our public services.
Budget 2000 locked in the fiscal tightening over the next two years to an even greater extent than projected in Budget 1999. Last week, the Chancellor announced that the budgetary outturn for 1999-2000, published since March, has shown a larger surplus than expected at the time of the Budget, allowing the Government to make a greater than expected debt repayment. The current surplus is not £17.1 billion but £20.4 billion. Debt as a share of GDP has been reduced even more, from 37.1 to 36.8 per cent. Taking account of the Spending Review outcome and recent developments
Working families are seeing the benefit of our fiscal discipline. We have been able to cut taxes for working families, not only bringing in the working families tax credit and the new 10p rate, but now, in Clause 31, cutting the basic rate of income tax to 22p--its lowest level for nearly 70 years. By April next year, personal tax and benefit changes in this and previous Budgets will mean that households on average will be £460 a year better off and families with children on average will be £850 a year better off. The tax burden on a single earner family on average earnings with two children will be the lowest since 1972. Coupled with low inflation and economic growth, this adds up to a substantial increase in living standards.
For a single earner family with two children on average earnings--£25,000--living standards will have risen by over 10 per cent over the Parliament. For a single earner family on half average earnings, living standards will rise by 30 per cent this year, the biggest annual rise for 25 years. A single earner family on half average earnings will be £2,600 a year better off over the Parliament.
Our measures will help to achieve our goal that every child should have the best possible start in life. As the Prime Minister has said, child poverty is a scar on the soul of Britain. That is why we set out in the Budget our ambition to halve child poverty by 2010 and end it altogether by 2020. Measures introduced so far in this Parliament will lift 1.2 million of Britain's children out of poverty. By next year, the Government will be spending an extra £7 billion a year on support for children. By April 2001, personal tax and benefit changes alone in this year's Budget and previous Budgets will mean that a single earner family with two children on average earnings will be £370 a year better off.
This Finance Bill takes further steps to increase support for children. An additional 50p a week will be added to the children's tax credit when it is introduced in April 2001, so that it is worth up to £442 a year, more than twice the value of the married couple's allowance it replaces. We have brought in a £4.35 a week increase in the child credit in the working families' tax credit from June this year, with the same increase in child allowances in income support from October.
Rising living standards and tackling child poverty will be reinforced by further improvements to public services thanks to our commitment in the Budget to average real growth for health of over 6 per cent a year over the next four years, the longest period of sustained high growth in the history of the NHS. The immediate boost for health in the Budget of £2 billion this year is partly funded by the real increase in tobacco duties in Clauses 12 to 15 of the Bill.
The 5.4 per cent average real increase in funding for UK education over the next three years announced last week, together with the extra boost for education in 1999-2000 announced in the Budget represents an average growth rate in education spending of 6.6 per cent over four years--the highest growth rate over a four-year period for at least 20 years.
The boost in the Budget was accompanied in this Bill by the introduction in Clause 57 of a new training relief for employees. It will make employer contributions to education or training undertaken by holders of individual learning accounts exempt from tax and national insurance where they qualify for grant or discount and are available to all employees on similar terms.
Businesses and jobs will benefit from our commitment to enterprise in this Bill. We have already cut main and small business rates of corporation tax to their lowest ever levels and the lowest of any major industrialised country.
The Bill contains a number of measures to promote enterprise and help business: the cuts in capital gains tax in Clause 37; the research and development tax credit in Clauses 67 and 68; the permanent 40 per cent capital allowances for SMEs in Clause 69, helping especially manufacturing businesses; the new all-employee share ownership plan in Clause 47; the enterprise management incentives in Clause 61, helping high-risk companies to recruit key personnel; and the corporate venturing provisions of Clause 62.
These measures have been widely welcomed by business. Along with the introduction in the Budget of three-year 100 per cent capital allowances for investment in ICT equipment; and an extra £100 million for the new £1 billion target umbrella fund for enterprise growth across the regions, this is a huge commitment to business success from a government who believe that enterprise and economic prosperity can and must go hand-in-hand with fairness.
In addition, Clause 81 introduces the optional ring-fenced regime--the so-called tonnage tax--whereby shipping companies can opt to work out taxable credits on the basis of tonnage of ships operated. This innovation, which follows the inquiry of the noble Lord, Lord Alexander, is part of the Government's commitment to encouraging the British shipping industry.
The Bill introduces changes to the corporation tax rules, limiting the use of so-called "mixer companies" to shelter low-taxed foreign profits from UK tax. These cap the relief on dividends at 30 per cent and ensure that there is no UK tax benefit from mixing in an offshore holding company.
The Bill also introduces onshore mixing in non-abusive situations. This measure addresses the concerns that have been expressed about international competitiveness. It will allow tax over 30 per cent in an offshore mixer to be creditable against other dividends in the UK, subject to the same restrictions to confine the relief to non-abusive situations.
Following these changes, there will be no UK tax benefit from mixing foreign dividends in an offshore company as opposed to receiving the dividends directly into the UK. The incentive in the old double taxation relief rules to hold foreign shareholdings through an offshore holding company will go. This will remove a major tax distortion and compliance cost from commercial decision-making and planning. So far as international competitiveness is concerned, it will place the UK in a similar position to the United States, the difference being that the UK rules will be less complex to apply.
The Bill also helps us meet our international commitments to the environment. Following last year's Budget, the Bill is an important part of the largest ever package of environmental tax measures to be introduced in the UK: Clause 30 brings in the climate change levy; Clauses 20 to 23 reform vehicle excise duty for cars; Clause 58 fundamentally reforms the company car taxation system, incentivising low CO 2 emissions and removing the perverse incentive for people to clock up business mileage to get to more generous thresholds; Clauses 136 and 137 increase landfill tax rate and clarify liability.
The changes to the affordable warmth programme in Clause 78, and the reduced rate of VAT on the installation of energy-saving materials and on grant-funded installation of heating systems in Clause 131 will help to ensure that pensioners feel the benefit of warmer homes and cheaper fuel bills, as well as the £150 winter allowance. This programme carries forward the Government's commitment to combat fuel poverty by supporting the installation of energy-efficient central heating systems and insulation in up to 1 million low-income homes.
The affordable warmth programme will be funded through a public-private partnership with commercial lessors. Capital allowances will bring down the cost of leasing and allow the scheme to reach many more households than would otherwise be possible.
Taken together with the Budget announcements of an incentive for ultra low sulphur petrol, the aggregates levy, and the consultation on stamp duty relief for brownfield developments, these measures make this a Finance Bill for the environment as well as one for working families and enterprise.
Greenhouse gas emissions will be further reduced following the spending plans announced yesterday, with increased funding for renewable energy; a carbon trust to give energy advice to business and encourage low-carbon technologies; and new incentives for businesses to join a domestic emissions trading scheme.
The Bill also supports charitable giving--helping communities to become more democratic, more open and socially inclusive.
Clauses 38 to 46 carry into effect our radical package of measures to boost donations to charities and to improve the operation of the tax system for charities themselves. Clause 39 abolishes altogether the minimum limit on tax relief for donations. The Bill boosts payroll giving (in Clause 38) with the three-year
In conclusion, this Finance Bill demonstrates that the Government are working hard for a purpose--to build a Britain that is strong, modern and fair. At long last, economic prosperity and fairness are no longer seen as opponents--they are seen as partners in the process of building the Britain of the future.
The Bill shows the Government keeping our promises, as we deliver sound public finances, low inflation, higher living standards, help for working families and pensioners and employment opportunity for all.
The Bill means more enterprise, more opportunity and more fairness. I commend it to the House.
Moved, That the Bill be now read a second time.--(Lord McIntosh of Haringey.)

In a nutshell:
Watch out for:
- The melody played at the opening credits is from Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" and was Universal Studio's signature tune for their horror movies as THE MUMMY or the like.
- Though he was the star Bela Lugosi earned only $500/week.
- It exists a memo saying: "Dracula is only to attack women." - apparently there shouldn't be any gay subtext.
- Bela Lugosi and Edward Van Sloan are the only actors out of this picture who appeared also in the original 1927 play on Broadway.
- The hungarian innkeeper is played by Michael Visaroff, who also appears in Tod Browning's FREAKS (1932).
- A spanish version was filmed silmutaniously (same time, same set, different actors.)
- You can see the set (Carfax Abbey & Dracula's castle) in other Universal movies.
- It is said, that Bela Lugosi doesn't blink once in this film - I have not checked that yet..
- Dracula never shows fangs in this film.
- Bette Davis was supposed to play Mina but producer Carl Laemmle, jr. wasn't positive about her sex appeal.
- Helen Chandler and Frances Dade were good friends.
- Conrad Veidt, Paul Muni and Lon Chaney (who died before this film was realised) were considered to play Dracula.
- In Dracula's castle you can see some opossums - there are no opossums in mid/east europe. That applies too for other animals like the armadillo.
- Dwight Frye and Bela Lugosi appeared together with Frederic March in a broadway comedy play THE DEVIL AND THE CHEESE in 1926. Neither Lugosi nor Frye should play many comedies on screen after DRACULA.
- Geraldine Dvorak, who plays one of Dracula's wifes was Greta Garbo's stand-in.
- The first lines in this movie are spoken by Carla Laemmle - Carl Laemmle's niece - she plays a young tourist, who drives in the carriage together with Renfield and other people.
- You can hear Franz Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" and the prelude to Richard Wagner's "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg".
Murphy's Law:
- Renfields briefcase appears magically on the table whilst it was seconds before in Draculas hands.
- Dr. Seward's asylum is considered to be near London and in Whitby - must be a really colossal estate for Whitby is on the Yorkshire coast in nothern England..
My favourite feature:
Dracula's castle.
Favourite character:
Renfield - I am a fan of Dwight Frye..
Scene to see:Renfield arrives and Dracula welcomes him to his castle.

text: I was thinking recently about test-driven development in Erlang. I think I understand unit testing (I'm using EUnit for it) but actual programs require not only unit testing but higher level testing also - integration testing and system testing. Has anybody some docs describing this stuff? Or maybe it does not depend so much on implementation language? Some general docs will be much of help? The problem is that quite large part of logic in the project I'm doing right now lies not in "stand-alone" functions an requires process interaction. Best regards, Kirill.

"...a treasure buried in a field"
We all look for good deals. We search for products with the best track records; we'll spend countless hours visiting different merchants, comparing prices all so that we may get the most for our money. We want our investments to yield good interest, our stocks to produce the highest return. But every now and then, there comes a situation that is beyond any "bargain," worth every dollar, and worth any risk.
So we should be able to understand the importance of today's Gospel parable:
Jesus speaks of hidden treasure and pearls of great price - sought after for many years, finally found and obtained at great cost and great risk. Thus is the nature of the Kingdom of Heaven - a treasure freely given, a gift of great value.
Our natural talents, our faith and the everyday circumstances of our life are all gifts of God - part of His investment in us. He looks for a return, with interest. He expects us to put our gifts to good use - to perfect them, to share them, to use them to renew our world according to the Gospel.
The beautiful stories of the treasure in the field and the pearl merchant point to the fact seeking the Kingdom of God and doing the will of the Father calls for total commitment. One does not simply add this pearl to a collection or simply purchase one more parcel of land. All must be sold. An absolute fresh start is to be made. The Gospel cuts into one's life and one must decide. Jesus brings compassion and healing; but he also brings a call to responsibility that is not without its consequences.
Some basic questions we should be asking ourselves today in the light of the Gospel message:
How do we use the gift of life itself - do we reverence it in all its forms? Do we protect the fragility of life in those who are weakest, most helpless, most defenseless? Do we protect this gift in ourselves by taking good care of our own health and avoiding the things we know can be harmful?
How do we use the gift of time? Do we try to make each of our days productive? Do we try to avoid wasting time on useless things? Do we try not to postpone or put off until tomorrow or next week or next month things that could and should be done today?
How do we use the gift of faith? Do we bury it, neglect it, and do little or nothing to increase it? Do we make time for prayer in our lives, for worship, for reading Scripture, for classes and workshops... Do we take the nourishment we receive each week and go back into our daily lives as persons committed to the poor, the homeless...
Jesus' parable implies that if we keep this wonderful gift buried, or if we neglect our gifts, we then run the risk of losing them entirely and of being held to account for them. Certainly, our first step is to gather together to give thanks for God's gifts, and by so doing, to nourish our faith by Word and Sacrament. We should be very attentive and prayerful, and open to the movements of the Spirit as we come together for Eucharist.
And finally, the important question is how we are changed by what happens there, and how will the thoughts, words, actions and decisions of our daily lives give evidence of a faith that is alive, vigorous, and fruitful.
For the vast majority of Catholics, faith is a buried treasure. Most were baptized as infants, received First Penance, First Communion and Confirmation - with whatever religious training preparation for those sacraments involved - and then that "treasure" was buried. For most, there was no further formal study, and no faith development. The things they learned about God, about Jesus and the Church - the images, the language, the experiences - were frozen and stored away. For some, these primary concepts carried them through to adulthood quite successfully. They married in the church, went to Mass occasionally, made their "Easter duty", and raised their children as Catholics. They were basically content and secure. There was no need to change anything. Every so often, they would take the treasure from its hiding place, dust if off a little and then put it back in safe keeping.
Others, however, may not fare so well. Their understanding of the church and the Gospel may be so underdeveloped that they cannot cope with adult challenges. When their faith is questioned or tested, they may find themselves confused and weak - and often choose to follow a different road, or give up religion altogether. Their treasure remains buried.
The truth is this: We are accountable for this gift that God has given us. We must be willing to risk losing everything in order to gain its possession. But we must also make sure that the gift of our faith does not remain buried. We must invest it, make it grow, and nurture and nourish it so that it will continue to bear much fruit. God expects it to keep producing the fruits of holiness and goodness. He expects us to share it with others, to reach out to the alienated, the unchurched, and the disenchanted. He has commissioned each of us to bear witness to His Love by our service and good will towards one another.
These are difficult times for people the world over. Many of us have been touched by death and suffering in ways we never could have imagined. We all share the horror - and can feel the pain - of continued atrocities carried out by terrorists; of the destruction of human life by poverty, hunger and disease; of an innocent abused by a trusted adult. We look for moments when the Light of Truth might shine through the current darkness, and it becomes more and more difficult to proclaim the goodness of God and to be witnesses to this great gift of faith.
But there are moments... many moments: some powerful and obvious, most so small that they may seem to go undetected.
It is time for all of us to dig up the treasure that we may have buried, so that we too can bring a lighted-candle into the common cloud of darkness that we all now seem to share. There has never been a time when we have needed to do this more.
Christians can sometimes speak too casually about "belonging to Christ" or of "following Jesus." But the parables of Jesus warn us that kinship with him should not lightly be presumed. A disciple of Jesus is one who has pondered his words and translated them into action. Jesus' final question to his disciples is just as powerful today as it was then:
"Have you understood all of this?"

Staying where 'Westies' love best
With friends and family close at hand, a local attraction created in their own backyard and a cold beer always ready and waiting at the local RSA, Leonard Jones and his partner Janet Turner had no plans to leave the community they love – thanks to a Heartland Bank mortgage, they haven't had to.
A keen gardener and well-known face at the local RSA, Leonard has spent the majority of his life in West Auckland and was not prepared to leave the couple's villa-style home, which sits on a 2.4 acre lifestyle block they bought 27 years ago.
"I absolutely love it out here," says Leonard. "We're surrounded by native bush, it's so peaceful away from the city and we have a beautiful flower garden that I enjoy looking after."
His connections to the property run deeper than that – he's spent more than a decade creating a replica 1950s general store in the couple's barn, complete with goods he's collected on his travels throughout New Zealand and Australia. Keen to share his passion for antiques, Leonard has made the nostalgic attraction open to the public, and it's proved to be a small boon for the community over the years, attracting several visitors a month.
"It's quite popular with retirement villages, historical societies and classic car clubs – I had more than 60 people through once!"
Clubs and societies aren't the only ones who enjoy visiting the property – Leonard and Janet have "a tribe of grandchildren" on both sides, and with most living nearby, family visits are fun and frequent.
When he isn't gardening, entertaining or visiting with family, Leonard enjoys spending time with his mates at the local RSA.
"I've got a lot of good friends down there," he says. "I've been a member for 17 years and there's always a beer on the bar and an empty seat waiting for me when I visit. I really enjoy that community feel."
Janet and Leonard came close to having to leave it all behind them, when motor neurons disease forced Leonard to retire early, making it difficult to make ends meet financially.
"I was a maintenance engineer at Mainfreight for more than 37 years and they kept me on as long as they could," says the 69-year-old. "Janet took redundancy to look after me soon after, and then we really began to struggle with monthly bills."
Keen to stay where they feel they belong, Leonard and Janet decided to look into getting a reverse mortgage with Heartland Bank.
"We spoke to Luke Meintjes from Heartland Bank about what was involved and he was fabulous at explaining everything," says Leonard. "We decided to take out a reverse mortgage to pay off the amount remaining on our mortgage, carry out some small renovations and cover the rates."
It was also used to take care of an unexpected surprise – a poorly drawn boundary, which meant they had to purchase 202m2 of land to retain their property rights.
"We're relieved to have it sorted," says Leonard. "It meant that the process took longer than anticipated, but Luke supported us the whole way through and it's comforting to know we can stay here as long as we're able.
"Life is generally good now, which is nice. I still fall over a lot because of the motor neurons disease, but someone always picks me up – it's part of life. We're grateful to Heartland Bank for being part of that."

Sadly, I have more to report on this whole business of the veteran and his service dog being kicked out of a Kernersville, NC restaurant last week. A local radio station, 1075 KZL, has decided to run a "spoof" about services dogs this morning on their Jared and Katie in the morning show. A civilian dog was shown in the below picture and the man, who has already suffered enough prior to this, and a mockery was made of both the man and the entire service dog industry. A foolish tactic on the part of the radio station, and a lax marketing department are to blame, I am sure.
To add more insult to injury the station posted this pic on their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/1075WKZL/timeline and of course people being who they are have started the running of their mouths in complete ignorance of the disease and of service dogs in general. I am not sure that this is the type of publicity that this radio station would want, but it is surely what they are getting.
Now lets imagine for a moment the man at the start of this. A man that publically has said that he wants no part of boycotting businesses that have wronged him. A man so pure of nature and so pure of heart that he can not hold the businesses to blame for their owners actions. I can't be that good of a person. But imagine the hurt this man must now feel being made a mockery of on public radio. Disgraceful if you asked me, that a man who served to help protect this country and to fight for our rights is being drug through crap for a radio station to gather listeners. Surely, there are better ways.
Service dogs for PTSD are valuable in saving not only their owners but the people around them. I would much rather a person be alerted to when he may experience a problem and that alert allow him to step out of the situation than for their to be mass casualty due to his not knowing there was immanent danger. I think this may be the part that know it alls are forgetting. PTSD can be dangerous, even fatal, and not just to the person that has it.
This radio station's website is http://www.1075kzl.com/ their phone number is 1-800-682-1075 and their physical address is 192 E. Lewis Street Greensboro, NC. Have something to say to them? send them an email on their website, facebook, or call them, or write a letter. They must some how be held accountable to their error. I for one won't be listening.
And to the Miller's, I am terribly sorry that some people have no home training or manners.

The Obama-lovin' was in full bloom on Wednesday's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" when interim "Meet the Press" host Tom Brokaw actually said, "I don't remember this level of excitement for a new president since 1960 when Jack Kennedy was elected President of the United States."
Now, in fairness, as I was born in 1960, I don't know what kind of excitement existed for JFK after that November's election was concluded.
However, as Ronald Wilson Reagan beat Jimmy Carter by a far greater margin -- popular and electoral votes -- in 1980 than Kennedy beat Richard M. Nixon twenty years prior, this comment by Brokaw seems to be the typical liberal media member's revisionist view of history (video embedded below the fold, relevant section at 24:11, h/t TVNewser):
Okay, let's look at some of the facts as recorded by Wikipedia, shall we?
In the national popular vote, Kennedy beat Nixon by just one tenth of one percentage point (0.1%) - the closest popular-vote margin of the 20th century...Richard Nixon was the first person to lose but carry more than half the states, winning 26 states. The only other person was Gerald R. Ford in 1976, who won in 27 states. [...]
Many Republicans (including Nixon and President Eisenhower) believed that Kennedy had benefited from vote fraud, especially in Texas, of which Lyndon Johnson was Senator, and Illinois, home of Richard Daley's powerful Chicago political machine. Republican Senators such as Everett Dirksen and Barry Goldwater agreed with this assessment; they believed that Nixon actually won the national popular vote. Republicans tried and failed to overturn the results in both these states at the time--as well as in nine other states. These two states are important because if Nixon had carried both, he would have won the election in the electoral college.
Nixon advisors urged Nixon to pursue recounts and challenge the validity of some votes for Kennedy, especially in the pivotal states of Illinois, Missouri and New Jersey, where large majorities in Catholic precincts handed Kennedy the election. Nixon gave a speech three days after the results came in saying he would not contest the election.
As such, Kennedy's victory was not only historically narrow, but many in the nation felt fraud-ridden. By contrast, as recorded by Wikipedia (for consistency), Reagan's victory over Carter was significantly more decisive:
Ronald Reagan with running mate George H.W. Bush beat Carter by almost 10 percentage points in the popular vote. Republicans also gained control of the Senate for the first time in twenty-five years on Reagan's coattails. The electoral college vote was a landslide, with 489 votes (representing 44 states) for Reagan and 49 votes for Carter (representing 6 states and the District of Columbia). NBC News projected Reagan as the winner at 8:15 pm EST (5:15 PST), before voting was finished in the West, based on exit polls. (It was the first time a broadcast network used exit polling to project a winner, and took the other broadcast networks by surprise.) Carter conceded defeat at 9:50 pm EST.[27][28] Carter's loss was the worst defeat for an incumbent President since Herbert Hoover lost to Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 by a margin of 18%.
With this in mind, it seems absolutely absurd of Brokaw to suggest that there was more excitement for Kennedy eight days after the election than for Reagan who won by such an extraordinary landslide.

Stazione centrale[edit]
Although I agree that the Stazione centrale is not a nice area to walk the night, You can't say there are just a few budget hotels... and the Gallia? the Michelangelo? same for eating : Il Gambero Rosso? Ub 02:22, 30 May 2006 (EDT)
I have removed and changed the following lines
Since the city regulation do allow taxi to pick up walking customer. (see article 26 of this pdf version of the regulation) AnyFile 08:44, 15 October 2006 (EDT)

Picture of Pirelli building[edit]
Why is this picture at the top of the article? That is such an ugly and modern building and considering Milan's status and history there are millions of better images which can be used. That kind of building is like something out of the USA and not a symbol of one of Europe's greatest cities. 18.104.22.168 08:49, 25 April 2007 (EDT)
Malpensa Shuttle[edit]
Is it just me or is this bus taking longer and longer to do it's trip? The article said 30minutes when quite etc, on weekends but recently, even in the dead of night, it usually takes 40 minimum, and easily an hour even without much traffic. There is only a little hold up in teh city outskirts anyway since the autostradle's are clear enough for a "slow" bus, and then the dedicated bus lanes etc... but still, its slower... No matter what I say to the conductor for this service, they always try and give me a single ticket instead of the return ticket I ask for; English, Italian, hand signs... nothing works first time.
People need to be careful now, since there is another malpensa service running and sits in the "malpensa express" queue by the station and the conductors try and pull in as many as possible. The bus looks a little crappy.
I have been editing the hotel listings for errors and consistency. I have left the parts in the address that appear to be zip codes. I am not sure the relation to the address and how important they are for travelers... As is customary on wikitravel I have removed the city and country names from the addresses. I would like to also remove these "zip codes" but I want to make sure somebody with local knowledge agrees that they are not necessary. Carson 18:29, 18 June 2008 (EDT)
Shouldn't Milan have some districts? Some sections, such as See and Sleep, have too much listings.--220.127.116.11 06:22, 6 September 2010 (EDT)
Seems like only very high-end restaurants are mentioned. Someone should probably go ahead and separate them into different categories according to price range. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs)

I haven't thought of adding color to pre-colored images. You are genius... and so very talented! Thanks for the lesson!ReplyDelete
Great tutorial, Beccy! I love adding shading to pre-colored images and I find that the technique has taught me a lot about coloring outline images on my own. :-D Thanks.ReplyDelete
Great Tutorial and love the idea of printing coloured image onto kraft card. The pencils really brought him to life. ThanksReplyDelete
What a great idea. Adding colour to pre-coloured images is something that has never crossed my mind! Great card too Beccy.ReplyDelete
Thanks for a wonderful tutorial, Beccy. I have been wanting to try adding coloured pencil to pre-coloured images, but I had no idea they would print out so well on kraft cardstock. Now I must go and try both.ReplyDelete
A terrific tutorial for "t" day. Thanks a bunch.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tutorial, never tried to print a pre coloured image on kraft. Looks great!!ReplyDelete
Thank you for the tutorial. I'm going to practice this if I ever get out of work :(ReplyDelete
What a wonderful idea to add texture to the printed image! It really had never occurred to me to add more color to pre-colored images. I've added lines with gel pens but this makes perfect sense. That snowman reminds me of when our kids were little and they would drag all kinds of things out of the house to dress him up. We didn't have any pipes laying around but definitely hats, scarves and mittens would disappear. So cute! Thanks for the memories.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tutorial. I've never thought to print on kraft card, or to add colour to a pre-coloured image. Thanks for the inspiration. Super card, such a cute and adorable image. xxReplyDelete
Never actually printed on Kraft and although I have made my card for today this is one tutorial to keep. thanks.xReplyDelete
Awesome idea to print on kraft, love the look! I have colored over pre-colored images (this month, a few times because my color ink was low and I couldn't throw any of your images away)!ReplyDelete
Oops! I forgot to alliterate. Terrific tutorial today!ReplyDelete
T-errific snowman and AWESOME colouring!ReplyDelete
WOW - the pencils look amazing - THANK YOU for the tutorial and inspiration, I really need to try colouring with pencils instead of markers :)
Great tutorial! I love that this snowman is different. He looks like he really is smoking his pipe. Your card is fabulous! Edwina BrownReplyDelete
Great tutorial....will give it a try!ReplyDelete
xxx Margreet
Hi Beccy, a fabulous tutorial and reminder to try colouring on Kraft card for a different look. Thank you for the inspiration and fun... have a wonderful weekend... MeganReplyDelete
Thank you for this tutorial. Time to give it a try.ReplyDelete
Great Card.
What a difference this makes! I like to use precoloured images myself and I sometimes add my own colouring but most of the time I don't. Will have to give this a go! This looks amazing on kraft! Thanks, Beccy!ReplyDelete
Cute! Thank you.ReplyDelete
Hihihi, just posted my "S" card, I know I'm a bit Too late, hope that that "T" also counts :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for this coloring technique didn't know one could color over colored images.....great tutorialReplyDelete
lovely card!ReplyDelete

A fast palladium(II)-catalyzed and microwave-promoted procedure using 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridyl as ligand to synthesize aryl ketones from aryl sulfinates and nitriles is described. More importantly, the first detailed investigation of the reaction mechanism using direct ESI-MS studies is reported.
Palladium-catalyzed reactions have found widespread use in contemporary organic chemistry due to their impressive range of functional group tolerance and high chemo- and regioselectivity. The pioneering contributions to the development of the Pd-catalyzed C-C bond forming cross-coupling reaction were rewarded with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2010. Today, this is a rapidly growing field, and the development of novel methods, as well as the theoretical understanding of the various processes involved are of immense importance for continued progress in this field.
The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to develop novel palladium(0)- and palladium(II)-catalyzed reactions. The work involved in achieving this aim led to the development of a Mo(CO)6-mediated carbonylative Stille cross coupling reaction for the preparation of various deoxybenzoins. The protocol utilized convenient gas-free conditions to facilitate the carbonylative coupling of benzyl bromides and chlorides with aryl and heteroaryl stannanes. Mo(CO)6-assisted conditions were then used in the development of a general protocol suitable for the aminocarbonylation of aryl triflates. Both electron-poor and electron-rich triflates were coupled with primary, secondary and aryl amines. In addition, DMAP was found to be a beneficial additive when using sterically hindered or poorly nucleophilic amines.
An efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of styrenes from arylboranes was developed, employing the relatively inexpensive vinyl acetate as the ethene source under Pd(II)-catalyzed conditions. The reaction mechanism was studied using ESI-MS, and a plausible catalytic cycle was proposed.
A method for the oxidative Heck reaction employing aryltrifluoroborates and aryl MIDA boronates was also developed. Electron-rich and electron-poor olefins were regioselectively arylated under microwave-assisted conditions. Various arylboron species were identified in an ongoing reaction using ESI-MS.
Further investigations led to the development of a direct method for the synthesis of arylamidines from aryltrifluoroborates and cyanamides. Under Pd(II)-catalyzed conditions it was possible to insert the aryl into primary, secondary and tertiary cyanamides.
Finally, a desulfitative method for the synthesis of aryl ketones was developed. A variety of aryl sulfinates were effectively inserted into alkyl- and aryl nitriles. The mechanism was further investigated using ESI-MS and a plausible catalytic cycle was proposed.
