I finished the chapter I was working on today and I'm at 24604 total words. I was hoping to be quite a bit farther ahead than this at the end of the weekend but I'll take what I can get.
The story is moving along quite nicely. Cooper challenged Kanemoto to an eating contest, had another confrontation with Detective Pope, and finally met one of the Acolytes of the Revolver. Tomorrow's probably going to be a split chapter between the Sisters of the Most Precious Chainsaw and the Gray Coven. I also revealed that Tommy is working for someone and isn't the hero-worshipping sycophant I've been portraying him as. I haven't decided who he's working for quite yet.
I guess I'm going to read for a bit and go to bed. I hope the afternoon pot of coffee doesn't keep me awake for too long.

While Mother Nature continues to deal farmers and ranchers winter weather, spring is on the way. Here are four products livestock farmers can consider as they wait for warmer temperatures to arrive.
Portable Cattle Chute, Alley and Tube
Arrowquip's new Portable Q-Catch 86 Series cattle chute, alley and tub has been redesigned for easier transportation and better function.
Based on rancher feedback, the system offers improvements to meet low-stress cattle handling guidelines. Rubber floors were added to improve cattle footing and eliminate noise as animals enter the chute. Caulking on sheet metal panels, rubber hindge absorbers ensure quieter function. A cradle-shaped alley funnels cattle in a single-file link and can adjust to handle calves or cows of varying size.
The 3E BudFlow lets cattle enter and exit smoothly in a lower-stress maner. Cattle enter at the front of the tub, rather than the back, allowing them to turn back to where they entered, which is their natural instinct. This also offers a clean line of sight, preventing stalling and backing up.
Other options on the 600 Series include a new patented second-generation head holder, a optional sternum bar and ability to choose from left- or right-handed system, or a combination of the two.
For more information, visit www.arrowquip.com/cattle-equipment.
New Livestock Feed Management Tool
A new livestock scale display platform, POINT, is the first result from a partnership between Scale-Tec, Ltd., and Performance Livestock Analytics, Inc.
This scale display platform adds improved features to Performance Livestock Analytics' Performance Beef feed management system, enabling producers to accuraty capture every pound of feed delivered and every dollar spent within the operation.
Producers can access real-time access to on-farm data and closeout reports, and share information with their advisors for accurate and timely financial and performance decisions.
The POINT display is entirely calibrated, supported and update through its mobile app, increasing ease of use. It connects via Bluetooth, with a range of 1,000'. It's also able to connect to a majority of scale systems already in use on beef operations.
To learn more about the Performance Beef system, go to www.performancelivestockanalytics.com. For more information about Scale-Tec's innovative POINT display, visit www.scale-tec.com.
Cover More Hay Acres
Rain clouds on the way? The BiG M 450 self-propelled mower conditioner offers high output at faster speeds, up to 15.5 mph.
Handle dry or wet hay in all crop conditions, with a 36'7" wide cut the CR model, featuring intermeshing chevron pattern rubber or steel conditioning M rolls. The CV model features a 32'6" cut with V-tines. The machine creates three equal-sized windrows for faster, uniform drydown. Powered by the 449-hp Liebherr Tier 4 Final engines with EcoPower, operators will have improved fuel efficiency. The Stepless Bosch Drive System creates a smoother ride with no shift points, reducing fuel consumption. A new traction control system improves handling. Transport width is 9'10" at speeds up to 25 mph.
For more information, visit krone-na.com
Reducing GHG Emissions
Alltech's flagship brand, Yea-Sacc, a yeast culture designed for ruminant diets, has been validated by Carbon Trust to reduce cattle methane emissions and nitrogen excretion rates.
The Carbon Trust's findings on Yea-Sacc highlighted that reduced emissions do not need to come at the expense of improved animal performance; Yea-Sacc was shown to increase milk yield, milk fat and protein content, and nitrogen uptake via improved ruminal bacteria.
In dairy and beef animals, methane is an indicator of waste not only for the animal, but also in terms of farm profitability. Increasing animal efficiency helps the animal retain more of that potential energy. This allows for both more environmentally sustainable production as well as increased profitability for the farm.

Nurturing a lifelong love of learning in your child!
Pre-School Calendar
Our Philosophy
Mill Plain United Methodist Christian Preschool is a program designed to nurture a love for learning in the young child.
We believe the primary responsibility for the education of children lies with the parents, at the same time we acknowledge the important role of the church. We therefore see the school as an extension of the church and a partner of the home.
We believe a child's education, like a house, is built upon a foundation (Matthew 7:24; Luke 6:48). We endeavor to integrate Christianity with academics in laying the groundwork for that foundation.
Each child is encouraged to learn at a pace suited to his or her own ability. When children are challenged with high expectations, they respond with enthusiasm to learning.

I have found another one of Orlando's hidden gems!
After my 9.0 mile long run, I was HUNGRY! Mark picked me up to take me to breakfast.
I had never been to Keke's Breakfast Cafe, but have driven past it a bunch of times on the way to and from work. Apparently it's a pretty popular place to eat, because we had to wait 20 minutes for a table. Luckily, the weather was nice enough to sit outside on the patio while we waited.
The breakfast menu mostly consisted of waffles, pancakes, and omelets. The restaurant only serves from 7:00am-2:30pm, so breakfast is served "all day." Perfect for me! I was craving carbs after my long run, and my mouth was watering at all the descriptions of the various waffles.
I decided on the apple-cinnamon waffle after much deliberation.
The warm cinnamon apples reminded me of fall! My mom makes the best apple crisp at thanksgiving, and this made me crave FALL!
The waffle came with a leaning tower of real whipped cream. I used about 1/3 of it, because it was just so darn good.
Plus a tiny bit of maple syrup on the other half.
Even with my raging appetite, I couldn't manage the entire waffle. It was so filling!
Mark also thoroughly enjoyed his bacon, tomato, and cheddar omelet.
I'll definitely be going back to Keke's! The service was fast and friendly, and the food was delicious.
The rest of the morning was spent walking off my sugary breakfast through Winter Park.
I was so full from breakfast, I couldn't even fit any fresh samples from the farmer's market in my stomach! That waffle was so good, it was worth it.
Which do you prefer: Pancakes or Waffles?

|Original Website
For SEO (Search Engine Optimization) reasons and to best benefit the human visitor/prospect (future customer!), it's imperative to keep ALL content on your website relevant and up to date.
The updates might not be weekly or even monthly, but at least once or twice a year it's a good idea to revise and/or add content (images, text, new features, etc).
NOTE: Click Images for Enlarged View
|Cole WebMarketing Website
On the left is an example of a professional website overhaul by Cole WebMarketing.
However, sometimes a website "upgrade" can actually result in a "downgrade".
|New Site - DIY by Customer
Sometimes a new marketing or other manager comes on board with a company and is not as skilled as his or her predecessor in the ways of the web and related matters (graphic design, virtual visual merchandising, SEO, website statistics and analysis, etc.) and the new site turns out to be not as good as the old site.
Another reason for a worse new site is an internal connection - somebody knows somebody that knows a "web guy". Everybody these days it seems knows someone who can design, build and manage websites, but many times these self proclaimed web gurus aren't actually experienced website professionals, but rather wannabes.
Some primary examples of a Website Downgrade include: (not in order of importance)
- Reduced Visual Appeal - without a good solid design, a website can lack a professional "layout, look and feel" - logical placement of images, proper image selection (relevant to text on page),
- and careful arrangement of all parts of a page are important (avoid "text boxes" that overlap background "placeholders".
- Excessive Use of Widgets, Add-Ons, Buttons, Etc. - just because you can add a feature to a page or website doesn't mean you should - avoid a site that is too "busy" - visitors prefer clean and simple for most websites (photography website, rock band, night club might be a few exceptions where more bells and whistles may be more acceptable)
- Unprofessional Graphics/Images - poor quality graphics, the use of "clip art", animated GIF's and/or outdated navigation "buttons", poor quality photographs, backgrounds, etc. can give even a well thought out and developed website an amateurish appearance
- Poor Font Selection - using more than a few different fonts and/or using super cool/cute fonts is to be avoided and it's critical to keep all text font colors the same, except for active hyperlinks. In addition, select one main font for most all text on you site - using several font styles just increases the amateur look & feel of a website.
- Excessive Use of Different Colors - pick a nice color scheme and build your site around it - unless you're targeting children, using more than a few colors on your site is usually not a good idea. Also, unless your intent and need is to "dazzle the visitor", avoid harsh colors and color combinations - such as bright green or yellow & black
- De-Optimization: when overhauling a website, it's important to keep in place those components that helped get the website to rank high on Google and other search engine results pages. Use of target keywords and keyphrases, proper placement of those keywords and a good keyword ratio is important to maximizing a site's listings across the web and also to getting to and staying on page 1 or 2 when past, present or future customers search for your company by the products you make/sell or the services you provide.
- Mobile Friendly - since many people first view a website on their smartphone or small tablet, it's critical that a website be "mobile friendly" - appear and function well on a variety of different platforms (and browsers). Comprehensive testing is not an option - it must be done to make sure a website renders appropriately on any device.
|New SIte - DIY by Customer
|New SIte - DIY by Customer
THE PROBLEM WITH COOKIE-CUTTER SITES: Many sites these days are created with Wordpress, which was software originally created for use in creating web logs (blogs). Most Wordpress sites have a very similar layout, look and feel and tend to appear "blogish".
In addition, all of the "free website builder" tools available from companies you see/hear advertised on TV and radio are all "template based", which results in more and more websites looking very much the same.
THE BENEFIT OF CUSTOM SITES: A professional website designer/developer can, and usually will, create a website "from scratch" and therefore YOU have complete control over layout, placement, arrangement, appearance, look & feel, etc.
A company website must serve as an asset; not a liability. The site should reflect the high caliber and professionalism of the business, especially since a website is often the first impression a prospective new customer gets about your business.
So, before you decide to overhaul your website and have it done by "your neighbors nephew for $200 and a case a beer" or using one of the "free" online website builders, consider first contacting a professional website design/development company for an initial consultation. The money you spend upfront could result in a huge return on investment in the long run, rather than going the super cheap $49.95 a month route for the rest of you life -- for a site that might never make it into the Top 10 on Google or might never make your phone ring/make you money.
For a FREE initial website consultation, please call

The High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Facility (HRMSF) serves researchers in over thirty research groups from five different colleges within the University of Iowa.
HRMSF staff provide information pertaining to the molecular weight, elemental composition and molecular structure of a compound. They perform high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) experiments or accurate mass measurements to determine the elemental formula of new synthetic molecules and natural products. They also perform tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) experiments, which are used to assist in the structure determination of unknown molecules. Two open access instruments (GC/MS and LC/MS) are available to on-campus researchers who have been trained by the HRMSF staff.
HRMSF staff are available for consultation with researchers to develop mass spectrometry strategies to resolve research problems. Mass spectrometry services are also available to non-University of Iowa researchers at a somewhat increased rate. http://research.uiowa.edu/vpr/units/hrmsf/

In the hierarchy of "kid cool", fairies rank up there with princesses, pirates, and ninjas. What better way to celebrate their enchanting beauty and magical abilities than by throwing Fairy Parties to promote some extra"fairy"estrial fun. Be it a birthday, tea party, or a super special play date, a fairy theme is sure to engage even the grumpiest of trolls. Plus, the theme is easy to age up or down, and as simple or extravagant to orchestrate as the hostess chooses.
Invitations can be hand made with fairy, butterfly, or flower clip art, stamps, or "cookie cutter" cutoutsglued on card stock. Party details can be written on the inside of the card, accompanied by a bit of whimsical fairy verse. Is your life too hectic to be crafty? Check out the Fairy Wishes Party Invitations, or look into the exquisitely drawn Flower Fairy Invitations and stationery of Cicely Mary Barker
As far as party décor, fairy festivities can be a more natural woodland theme, or a sparkles and glitter affair. Traditional fairy colors of pink, purple, white and silver can be used for tablecloths, ribbons, bunting and balloons. Tables can be set with flowers (real or artificial), large green construction paper leaves as placemats, teacups and saucers, etc. Don't want to risk the little ones chipping your Grandmother's china? Paper plates, cups, and napkins with fairies imprinted on them are a safe bet and easy to clean up. Also, miniature tea sets such as the Fairy Tea Time Basket are another alternative to using the "good china." Paper Mache mushrooms, pinecones, leaves with glitter (fairy dust) and flower petals scattered about can all help set the mood, as will strings of tiny white lights.
One of the perks of a Fairy Party is being able to metamorphize into a beautiful fairy. Costumes equal success, so within the body of the invitation, suggest party attire to be pink or pastel leotards and tights or leggings. As the guests arrive, they receive a wand or a simple piece of craft wooden doweling, to be personalized by each party guest with ribbons, beads and appliqués. They will then receive a pair of wings forged from cellophane, cardboard, or wax paper and a tutu of tulle, paper leaves, or fabric leaves hot glued to a material band. A headband or tiara is optional, and could be another craft activity for the guests to busy themselves with. If you'd rather have less rustic, more professional looking fairies, the Dress Up Wing Set w/Headband and Wand might be the way to go. The party guests would surely covet these costume accessories, and the parade of fairies would be colorful and festive indeed.
Fairy Party food is all about cute, bite-sized portions, like tiny crust less sandwiches cut in cookie cutter shapes, or pixied miniature bagel pizzas, or cream cheese and strawberries on pretty crackers. Thirsty fairies seem to be fond of "Fairy Fizz," fruit juice and ginger ale, or fruit punch and soda water doctored up with ice cubes of various shapes. Small skewers of fruit with pineapple stars on top become fairy wands of fruit goodness. Mushroom-cakes (cupcakes with "muffin tops"), chocolate covered strawberries, sugar cookies in fairy forms, or magical beans (jelly beans or gummy beans wrapped in fabric and tied with ribbons) are a few other sweet ideas.
It is universally known that fairies love to have fun, and that games must be a part of any fairy gathering. Regular party games with a twist, like pin the horn on the Unicorn, or musical chairs with "toad stools" are favorites. In fairy tag, one fairy has a "freeze" wand and another a "fly away" wand to set fairy captives free. A fairy scavenger hunt can involve teams, with an adult helper, looking for natural items (leaves, pebbles, moss) to rebuild the Queen Fairy's castle, demolished by a careless Ogre. And a Maypole structure with ribbons can easily be constructed and is a great way of getting fairies to practice their dancing and flying skills – especially if music from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker is playing in the background. Also, a crafting and coloring area is a must-have for fairy down time.
In addition to their wands and wings, party guests will flip over fairy party favors. Make fairy funnels out of doilies and fill them with glitter pens, fairy stickers, sweets, and pixie sticks. Or Flower Fairy Party Bags can be stuffed with fairy treasures such as bottled fairy dust, wands or tiny tiaras. A more natural parting gift is to give each guest a small pot to decorate, and then allow them to pot their own flower from an assortment provided.
Remember, it's all about creating a fairyland atmosphere where everything is miniature and magical. So have fun and party on fairy friends….

It's easy enough to enjoy some righteous indignation when the Roy Moores of the world are accused of sexual harassment, but I have a different reaction when people I admire like Garrison Keillor, Louis C.K. and Al Franken are the accused. But in the final analysis, if they have done the deeds they are accused of, they too must suffer the consequences.
John Huston was one of the most important directors in Hollywood in the 1940's and 50's. He became friends with a well-known jockey for a time, but then somehow lost interest in his new friend. When the jockey didn't take the hint, Huston went out of his way to insult and humiliate him. Eventually, some of Huston's friends became so uncomfortable with his cruelty towards someone who only admired him that one asked Huston why he acted in such an ugly manner. Huston's reply is one we should remember– "Because I can!"
The only way to end our epidemic of predatory acts against women is to make it clear that they will be punished no matter who is the perpetrator. There can be no "good guy" exception.
Keillor is a special case in that he denies the allegations. Even a rudimentary concept of fairness requires that he be allowed a forum to show his innocence. And, even if he is guilty of the acts charged, we do not have to stop admiring the work of people like Keillor, C.K., and Franken, nor should it prevent us from wishing them well in their new lives.

Controversial plans to build a block of flats on a "leafy green and beautiful" Bromley street have been given the go ahead despite dozens of objections.
A previous application for permission to demolish a bungalow, replacing it with a three-storey development at the end of Scotts Lane, was withdrawn last year, having attracted significant criticism.
But developer Hambridge Homes then put two similar applications this April, differing only in the amount of parking spaces included in the plans, which were both approved by the planning board on Monday despite a total of 80 objections.
John Elliott, a 55-year-old heating engineer, who moved into the "prestigious" Scotts Lane with his wife three years ago from nearby Beckenham, feels residents' about the size and suitability of the development have been ignored.
He said: "We will now be subjected to a year of noise, disruption, parking mayhem and added pollution followed by a tower block several metres taller than the existing bungalow (almost 10m tall) directly overlooking our homes and gardens, with a car park and bike store just inches away from our kitchen.
"A precedent has now been set for other properties to do the same, which will destroy the character of one of the few remaining pleasant roads in Shortlands.
"It is laughable how my tiny 2nd floor road facing dormer window for future loft conversion was rejected by Bromley Planning, since it was deemed incongruous to the area, despite no one objecting, yet 80 objections to these modern flats which are clearly incongruous to the area are completely ignored and approved for planning."
Mr Elliot and his wife had planned to renovate their property in order to enjoy their retirement in future years, however are now considering selling their house after learning of the news.
Residents are concerned about the imposing size of the development and many have indicated their dismay that the new building will not fit in with the uniformity of the rest of the "private and secluded" road.
Each of the online planning applications placed earlier this year attracted around 40 objections.
Residents are concerned about the imposing size of the development and that the new building will not fit in with the uniformity of the rest of the "private and secluded" road.
There is also worry about the nearby school, Bishop Challoner, and the impact of the increase of traffic from the flats.

Further to our teaser story at the start of September Cinematique Instruments has now released Fabrique which they describe as a real-time pattern module for creating complex and inspiring musical elements within seconds. Here's their description of it...
What is behind Fabrique?
Fabrique is a real-time pattern module for creating complex and inspiring musical elements within seconds. Whether you are either searching for the basis for a score cue or for a sophisticated add-on percussions loop or you are just trying to look up organic loops, atmospheric soundscapes or tonal movements or you just wanted to get inspired for a new piece of music, Fabrique provides almost every possibilities according to all these needs. But even if you are not feeling like creating your own pattern, there are available over one 170 presets, ready to be played.
Fabrique includes three different kind of modules which varies in genre and amount of sounds: Firstly there is the PRIME, which covers the wide range of cinematic music and song production, secondly there is the URBAN which meets the needs of dub and pop music and finally the maverick one called EERIE which provides pattern and sounds for horror and dramatic purposes.
Although Fabrique is a very complex and versatile tool, it is anyhow very simple and intuitive to use. All control and operating elements are easily accessible, so that you can quickly and easily create or edit your pattern according to your own requirements.
How does Fabrique work?
Fabrique is a 32 step sequencer equipped with 3 separate tracks which are playing simultaneously. Track 1 and 2 are midi generators - track 3 is an audio loop player. In order to let Fabrique play notes you just move up and down bars of a table. The table is a perfect tool to set notes because you can clearly see at which positions notes are played or not. Besides that, Fabrique provides a wide assortment of tools for quickly shaping the sound of either the individual track or the whole pattern. There are plenty of easy-to-use options available for each track: pitching notes, either of the whole track or every note or randomly, changing the length of notes, adding reverb or delay, setting a low and high pass filter and putting automatic frequency envelopes over the whole track. Further more there are available 4 master fx switches to modify the entire sound of the pattern.
Content and Instruments
Fabrique comes along with a huge amount of sounds which can separatly load into each track. You can feed the first two tracks with over 75 instruments (Prime has 48 instruments, the Urban versions contains 24, the Eerie 18). There are instruments both in 5 times round robin variations and single sounds – all in various velocity layer. The instruments are categorized in tonal sounds, deep or high percussion and experimental sounds and noises. Beside several new sounds such as a paper roll, a kalimba, a water drop, bass drums, a mallet drum, a bongo, a darabuka, an electric guitar etc. Fabrique contains some high light sounds of our recent library such as Guitar Harmonics, Kantele, The Bowl and some more. The audio track is equipped with 27 tempo-synced audio loops in the Prime version (the urban version contains 17 loops and the eerie 12 loops).
Fabrique requires the recent version of Kontakt 5 or Free Kontakt 5 Player.
Pricing and Availability:
Fabrique (incl 3 modules): 185 EUR

I'd like to share with you an interesting experience with an unusual audience. The Traditional Exhibition of Portraits at "Rakvere Galerii", (Rakvere, Estonia) is an event what takes place every year. I was invited as a model and allowed to play mandolin if I don't move too much and take some short breaks during the session. It didn't really succeed. Maybe the atmosphere or maybe the acoustics of the room but somehow I got carried away, felt myself free, started to improvise over different interpretations, forgot my breaks and so on. I really hope that was not a big problem to the artists. At this time I haven't seen the pictures, but for me all of this resulted in somewhat romantic style of interpretation.
With some differences it felt like playing in the street, where people going by without reaction, many of them hearing but not really listening. In the other hand these artists not only saw me but were looking at me with their most attention, not all the time of course...
But, here is the video:

Low tide at Bosham
Here's what Ian wrote when he sent in his entry. "Sorry to take so long to get around to your painting challenge. In fact, by the time I got there the tide had gone out! Actually this is with acknowledgement to Joe Francis Dowden who will demonstrate for us in October and who painted the same scene in this manner."
If you have ever visited Bosham you'll know that it is the houses that have a wall separating them from the road below and at high tide the road is often flooded.

AAFP website security enhancement
Late this week, a security enhancement will be implemented on the AAFP website to keep security systems up-to-date for members, chapter staff, and other website users. The process will ensure that all personal information including name, home address, email address, and member ID is protected. After the security update is completed, all current website users will be prompted to create a new password the next time they log into the AAFP website. The process is simple, fast, and similar to other website security measures. The new password must contain at least eight characters with at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, and one number. Each user will also be asked to set up a security question and response.

Suggested framework for medical management of persons at elevated risk for invasive listeriosis who are potentially exposed to Listeria monocytogenes
KDHE Office of the Secretary
Suggested framework for medical management of persons at elevated risk for invasive listeriosis who are potentially exposed to Listeria monocytogenes. This framework may be particularly relevant at this time of year, as the incidence of gastrointestinal illness and respiratory illness, including influenza, tends to increase. Given the overlapping symptom complexes between listeriosis and diseases which may become more prevalent in the coming weeks, it is important for clinicians to consider potential listeriosis exposure risks in light of this recall.

Jet Airways Selects Sabre Airline Solutions Scheduling Suite; Major Indian Airline Selects Planning
Sabre Airline Solutions today announced that Jet Airways, the domestic market leader, has chosen Sabre AirFlite Schedule Manager and Sabre AirFlite Fleet Manager to enhance its flight planning and scheduling decision-making capabilities.
Schedule Manager enables Jet Airways to tightly manage its flight schedule and code share flights -- an essential requirement in today's international aviation environment. Fleet Manager enables Jet Airways to optimally allocate its fleet to meet "close-in" market demand and choose the best routes and flights to improve total network profitability.
"Making informed decisions around flight scheduling is an essential part of any airline -- and Jet Airways is no exception. Using Schedule Manager, we will be able to build, visualize, edit and distribute our flight schedules more quickly and easily than before," said Mr. Anthony D'sa, general manager, planning. "In fact, as we look to significantly expand our fleet and network destinations over the next two years and beyond, we will be using these new applications and processes from Sabre Airline Solutions to better optimize our network."
He added, "The other practical benefit of Schedule Manager is the way it can automate the management of code-share flights. As a result, it will be easier to expand the size and number of code-share agreements, thereby driving increased revenue for us."
Andrew Powell, regional vice president, Sabre Airline Solutions, said, "We are committed to supporting the incredible success story at Jet Airways. As their business continues to expand and diversify into the international arena, we will deliver the airline application solutions that Jet Airways needs to remain at the cutting edge of the Indian aviation market."
"Sixteen airlines across Asia Pacific are now running the Sabre AirFlite Planning and Scheduling Suite to manage their networks with Jet Airways becoming the first carrier in India to join this growing community," Powell said. "Jet Airways will now be in a position to evaluate more options and make quicker decisions about its network and schedules, which constantly need to be adapted to shifts in market demand. The ability to adapt quickly to the constant shifts in market demand closer to day of operations will give Jet Airways a competitive advantage."
Sabre Airline Solutions provides Jet Airways with multiple integrated solutions including: passenger solutions, flight operations, revenue management and now scheduling and network planning, which ultimately means that more departments across the airline are better informed with up-to-date information from other areas of the business. Decision making and operational processes are now quicker and easier through the partnership with Sabre Airline Solutions.
Sabre Airline Solutions has invested millions of dollars in the redesigning of the AirFlite suite to an open integrated architecture, enabling better usability, integration and decision support. The contract with Jet Airways is another sign of the continuing interest in this "state-of-the-art" application suite.

CDO(redirected from MAPI)
Also found in: Dictionary, Medical, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
Collateralized Debt Obligation
An asset-backed security backed by the receivables on loans, bonds, or other debt. Banks package and sell their receivables on debt to investors in order to reduce the risk of loss due to default. Returns on CDOs are paid in tranches; that is, the individual loans backing each CDO have different levels of risk, and investors are paid out according to the level of risk they have acquired. Banks offer higher interest rates to investors willing to buy CDOs backed by higher-risk loans. From a bank's perspective, in addition to reducing risk, CDOs also reduce their capital requirements because they can raise funds through the issue of CDOs. While, theoretically, CDOs can be backed by mortgages, one usually refers to these as collateralized mortgage obligations.

And according to a new report from the Financial Times, this has been reflected in their upcoming Christmas parties, which to some extent represent a return to the boom years following several austere festive seasons recently.
Party organisers and venue owners across the Square Mile are seeing a resurgence in the market for festive fun, the news provider claimed.
Teresa-Anne Dunleavy, chief executive of London's biggest party organiser Concerto Group, said: "There was a big lockdown post-crisis but it is definitely improving."
Many popular City venues such as the Honorable Artillery Company have seen their revenues increase over the last 12 months.
While we are unlikely to see a return to the conspicuous consumption of the 1980s, particularly in the current economic climate, it is clear firms are feeling more confident than they have for some time.
However, banks are still ensuring their celebrations are held behind closed doors and kept relatively low-key, given the timbre of the criticism still aimed at them by many newspapers.
One banker told the Financial Times: "Banks are still social pariahs: they're too scared to be seen to be having too much fun."
Will Beckett, co-founder of the high-end steak restaurant Hawksmoor, concluded that there has been a clear change in attitude among the City workers who patronise his venue.
"The average spend on wine per head is going up. People are going out a bit more on a company card. You get a sense that people are entertaining clients more, it's part of the city culture again," he explained.
While it does appear lessons have been learned from the boom years, this increased confidence does reflect the positivity exuded by Mark Carney and others when discussing the UK's economic future.

- "As a boy, even I dreamed sometimes of being not a Stark of Winterfell, but a Dayne of Starfall. Legend has it that the Dornish founder of House Dayne followed a falling star to where it hit the ground. And there, he raised his castle. A fantastic story, I know, but House Dayne has a relic to prove it. Dawn. The most famous sword in Westeros."
- ―Eddard Stark
House Dayne of Starfall is a noble house from Dorne and a vassal to House Martell. Their seat is the castle of Starfall. They were once minor kings, styling themselves as Kings of the Torrentine.
Their ancestral weapon is Dawn, a blade forged from the metal of a fallen star. The Dayne knight that bears the sword is granted the title of "the Sword of the Morning".
House Dayne's sigil consists of a black sword within a falling star on a blue field.
House Dayne can trace its roots back to the Dawn Age. Starfall is built on an island at the mouth of the Torrentine River, where the first Dayne is said to have tracked a falling star and found a magical stone.[1] In present-day Westeros, House Dayne is best known for their ancestral sword, Dawn, and the "Sword of the Morning" who wields it.
Although considered "stony" Dornishmen, who possess fairer coloring than the rest of the Dornish population, the Daynes' appearance is different even from this exclusive group; many have blue or purple eyes, and hair color ranges from dark to pale blond.
House Dayne fought several battles with houses from the Reach. King Vorian Dayne was defeated by House Martell in Nymeria's War, though because of his honor, Nymeria sent him to The Wall with golden fetters and married his heir, Davos Dayne. Since then, House Dayne has been fiercely loyal to House Martell. They assisted the Martells in unifying Dorne and subduing other Dornish houses. During Aegon I Targaryen's War of Conquest, Lord Joffrey Dayne led an army to Oldtown.[2]
The Martells and their vassals rallied behind the Targaryens in Robert's Rebellion. The legendary knight Arthur Dayne was killed in the Showdown at the Red Mountains, one of the last battles in the war. Although killing or disarming all of his opponents with ease, he was stabbed in the back by Howland Reed, whom he thought he had mortally wounded early in the fight, and subsequently killed by Eddard Stark.[3] Dawn was subsequently returned to Starfall by Lord Stark.
- Queen {Dyanna Dayne}, wife to King Maekar I and mother to his sons: Aerion, Aemon, and Aegon.
- Lord {Beric Dayne}, Lord of Starfall.
- Ser {Arthur Dayne}, the Sword of the Morning, his second son. Stabbed in the neck by Howland Reed and finished off by Ned Stark at the Tower of Joy during Robert's Rebellion.
- Lady {Ashara Dayne}, his daughter. Committed suicide under mysterious circumstances at Starfall.
- King Vorian Dayne, the Evening Sword, last King of the Torrentine. Defeated by Nymeria and sent to the Wall.
- Lord Davos Dayne, son of King Vorian and a previous Sword of the Morning. Married to Nymeria after his father's defeat.
- Ser Joffrey Dayne, Sword of the Morning. Led a force to attack Oldtown during the First Dornish War.

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, members of House Dayne are Stony Dornishmen, whose characteristics mostly resemble the rest of the Seven Kingdoms in look, customs and traditions (being composed of the same First Men/Andal mixture). Unlike the rest of the more Rhoynish-looking Dornishmen, however, they have pale skin with hair ranging from dark brown to pale blond and they often have violet eyes, though according to George R.R. Martin they are not of Valyrian descent.
In the novels, the house sigil is different than in the show: it depicts a sliver sword and a falling star crossed sideways on a violet colored background.
Known members
- Lord Edric "Ned" Dayne, Lord of Starfall. Formerly a member of the Brotherhood Without Banners and a squire of Beric Dondarrion. His current whereabouts are unknown.
- Ser {Arthur Dayne} aka the Sword of the Morning, his uncle. Died at the Tower of Joy.
- {Ashara Dayne}, his aunt. The manner of her death remains a mystery.
- Allyria Dayne, his aunt. Was betrothed to Beric Dondarrion.
- Ser Gerold Dayne aka Darkstar, from a lesser branch of the family seated at High Hermitage. Is known to be a highly skilled knight. Attempted to murder Myrcella Baratheon (who survived but was terribly disfigured), when Arianne Martell's plan to crown her failed. Currently is on the run, being pursued by Obara Sand and Ser Balon Swann.

QMotion in the News
What's new at QMotion? Our team of engineers and power shade experts are always finding ways to decrease sound, increase battery life and raise the bar of quality on all of our automated shades and window coverings. QMotion has been featured in many consumer, business and trade publications for advancing the technology of automated roller shades. See where our innovative products have been featured and learn why they are the best in the industry. Check back often to read about the latest QMotion window coverings, accessories, awards and certifications.
QMotion Partners with Dobbs Stanford to Sell Automated Window Shades April 10th, 2013
PENSACOLA, Fla. (April 2013) –QMotion Advanced Shading Systems has announced its partnership with Dobbs Stanford, a longtime Dallas firm. The new link up will help QMotion market its products and expand its business in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas.
QMotion said it chose Dobbs Stanford because it has a distinguished track record and because it has offices and employees in the states being targeted. Dobbs Stanford has been in business since 1970 and has been representing some manufacturers for 30 years or more.
"We love Dobbs Stanford's enthusiasm and their experience," said Ben Kutell, director of marketing for QMotion. "Obviously, a company doesn't stay in business for more than 40 years unless it has a proven record of credibility and customer service, and those are some of Dobb Stanford's great strengths."
Dobbs Stanford has a strong background in audio-visual items and other high-tech devices, which meshes well with QMotion's automated shades for homes and businesses.
Woody Taylor, the vice president of Dobbs Stanford, said he was glad to learn of QMotion from other representatives who spoke highly of the company.
"Our dealers need opportunities like this to enhance their bottom line with a category with healthy profit margins," Taylor said. "We are looking forward to a long and profitable relationship with QMotion."
In 2012, the Window Covering Manufacturing Association gave QMotion its award for "Best New Technological Innovation" for creating a system that quietly raises and lowers automated shades. QMotion's systems also are remarkably easy to install; each system operates on ordinary batteries which are out of sight and last far longer than competitors' systems. With more than 180 fabric options, the shades are assembled at Qmotion's plant in Pensacola, Fla. and are safe for homes with small children and pets.

About QMotion Advanced Shading Systems
QMotion, based in Pensacola, Fla., is a leader in the field of automation for homes and businesses. It has rapidly expanded both nationally and internationally as word spreads of its nearly silent automated shades, stylish designs and batteries that last years longer than their rivals. Installation is a snap, another reason that QMotion window coverings are a hit with home automators. QMotion provides a five-year warranty and offers innovative solutions for businesses and homes with complicated shade problems.

Definition / general
- Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas): mesenchymal tumors characterized by a myomelanocytic phenotype (expression of both melanocytic and smooth muscle markers)
- The PEComa family includes angiomyolipoma, pulmonary clear cell sugar tumor, lymphangiomyomatosis and PEComa no otherwise specified
- Six primary adnexal PEComas have been reported to date (J Clin Pathol 2015;68:418, Am J Surg Pathol 2014;38:176, Hum Pathol 2012;43:1126, Int J Gynecol Pathol 2002;21:69, Int J Gynecol Pathol 2009;28:589)
- Ovarian involvement by extra-ovarian PEComas has also been rarely reported (Mod Pathol 2001;14:563, Pathol Res Pract 2003;199:47, Int J Surg Pathol 2008;16:443, Int J Gynecol Pathol 2008;27:86)
- Cell of origin has not been definitively identified
- Three hypotheses:
- Undifferentiated cells of neural crest capable of dual smooth muscle and melanocytic differentiation
- Myoblastic smooth muscle cells with a molecular alteration that causes expression of melanocytic markers (Arch Pathol Lab Med 2001;125:751)
Diagrams / tables
Clinical features
- Abdominal / pelvic mass, pelvic pain
- Final diagnosis is by histology, immunohistochemistry and history of primary tumor elsewhere
- History of tuberous sclerosis or other PEComa family tumors is helpful, but not always present
Radiology description
- USG: solid adnexal mass
Prognostic factors
- Primary PEC tumors
- Classification of gynecologic PEComas as benign, uncertain malignant potential and malignant using tumor characteristics has been proposed by Folpe et al (Am J Surg Pathol 2005;29:1558) and Schoolmeester et al (Am J Surg Pathol 2014;38:176)
- Conlon et al (J Clin Pathol 2015;68:418) applied both classification systems to 78 reported uterine PEComas, finding that a modified Folpe system (see below) allowed for better classification of tumors with good outcome as benign, and classification of all tumors with adverse outcome (metastases, recurrence, death of disease) as malignant
Case reports
- Primary Ovarian PEC tumor
- 33 year old woman with ovarian perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (Hum Pathol 2012;43:1126)
- 39 year old woman with epithelioid angiomyolipoma of the ovary (Int J Gynecol Pathol 2002;21:69)
- Malignant variant of sclerosing perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (Int J Gynecol Pathol 2009;28:589)
- Perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasm (PEComa) of the gynecologic tract (Am J Surg Pathol 2014;38:176)
- PEC tumor metastatic to ovary
- 19 and 28 year old women with abdominopelvic sarcoma of perivascular epithelioid cells (Mod Pathol 2001;14:563)
- 32 year old woman with perivascular epithelioid cell tumor of the jejunum (Pathol Res Pract 2003;199:47)
- 39 year old woman with multifocal PEComa (Int J Surg Pathol 2008;16:443)
- 59 year old woman with malignant uterine perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (Int J Gynecol Pathol 2008;27:86)
- Primary PEC tumor:
- Surgical resection of oligometastatic disease with or without adjuvant chemotherapy (anthracycline based)
- Recently targeted therapies, most notably mTOR inhibitors are also utilized
Microscopic (histologic) description
- Primary PEC tumor:
- Sheets and nests of large polygonal cells with glycogen-rich clear or eosinophilic cytoplasm, moderately pleomorphic nuclei and delicate vasculature, resembling clear cell carcinoma
- Mixture of epithelioid and spindle cells is common in variable proportions
- Angiolymphatic invasion, coagulative necrosis, mitotic figures and intracytoplasmic brown pigment may be present (see criteria for malignancy above)
Positive stains
- Primary PEC tumor
- PEComas are defined by the immunohistochemical coexpression of melanocytic markers (HMB45, MelanA / MART1, MITF) and myoid markers (desmin, smooth muscle actin, H caldesmon, calponin)
- Expression of TFE3 is also common, although does not correlate with TFE3 gene rearrangements (Am J Surg Pathol 2014;38:176)
Negative stains
Electron microscopy description
- Primary PEC tumor:
- Hemidesmosome primitive junction, glycogen and stage I and II melanosomes
Molecular / cytogenetics description
- Primary PEC tumor
- PECs are linked to the tuberous sclerosis genes TSC1 and TSC2
- This link is stronger for angiomyolipoma and lymphangioleiomyomatosis than for other members of the PEComa family
Differential diagnosis
- Primary PEC tumor:
- Adipocytic tumor
- Carcinoma: CK positive, HMB45 negative, desmin negative
- Clear cell sarcoma: reveal fusion transcript ETW/ATF1
- Gastrointestinal stromal tumor: diffuse CD117 positive
- Melanoma: diffuse S100 positive
- Smooth muscle tumor: HMB45 negative

BELIZE CITY, Mon. Nov. 23, 2015–When Thomas Vincent Ramos began Garifuna Settlement Day celebrations in 1941—then known as Carib Disembarkation Day, his vision was for the day of cultural celebrations to not just commemorate the 1823 (not 1832) arrival of the 500 Garinagu who came via dories from Honduras to Dangriga, but also to inspire hope in his people and to foster national recognition of their contributions across the length and breadth of the Jewel.
This year, on the 74th anniversary of Garifuna Settlements Day and 192nd year of their mass arrival to Dangriga, Prime Minister Dean Barrow, speaking at official ceremonies held in the Culture Capital, paid a memorable tribute to the founder of Garifuna Settlement Day, TV Ramos, even as he also invoked the memory of other Garifuna legends, starting with the great chief, Joseph Satuye (also known as Chatoyer):
"I consider it a privilege to be able to pay tribute, first of all, to Chatoyer and then to come down the line, and to say on this day, we particularly salute as well the memory of Alejo Beni, we salute especially the great Thomas Vincent Ramos, and we recognize that these are the people responsible for Garifuna survival, Garifuna triumph over adversity, Garifuna defeat of exile and current modern-day Garifuna progress. Please let us never, ever forget those examples. Please let us never, ever forget the inspiration of these legendary Garinagu heroes," Barrow said, in remarks which he delivered extemporaneously.
"There is nothing more important, with respect to Belize's cultural front, than the retention of the Garifuna language."
Barrow also recognized "brilliant" modern-day Garifuna icons, artists such as Pen Cayetano and Chico Ramos, grandson of T.V. Ramos, through whom, he said, the culture continues to live.
He also acknowledged the contributions the Garinagu have made in the field of education.
"Our keynote speaker [Dr. Caroline Valentine Barerra] truly said that it is Garinagu that in the real sense have educated this entire country of Belize," Barrow said, adding that the contributions of Garinagu to Belize can never be overstated.
"We cannot ever emphasize too much, the tremendous value of the Garifuna contribution to what is this Belize, this Jewel that belongs to all of us," he articulated.
Barrow went on to salute "the entire Garifuna nation – all Garinagu throughout the length and breadth of our country of Belize."
After his tributary remarks, he went on to make two notable announcements:
Barrow announces financial contribution to Gulisi Community Primary School
"I want to commit this morning to two things. I know that there is a bust of Thomas Vincent Ramos. It seems that there is some difficulty with finding the funds to pay the sculpture for his work. The Government of Belize will be pleased to make a significant contribution towards the balance of Mr. Okeke's fees… And I only don't say that we will pay all of it because I must reserve some funds in particular for the Gulisi [Community] Primary School," he said.
"There is nothing more important, with respect to Belize's cultural front, than the retention of the Garifuna language. We cannot afford to lose that language and I fear that with the onslaught of modernity, too many Garifuna children are not being brought up to speak the language. Retrieval and preservation must continue to be watch words…" said Barrow.
Francis Humphreys, Mayor of Dangriga, also announced at the ceremony that the street formerly known as Ramos Road is no more; and it will officially be renamed and rededicated as Thomas Vincent Ramos Avenue.
"The mission of turning the road into what it will be from hence forward an avenue could not have been done entirely by the Town Council," Humphreys said.
The funds to turn the roadway into concreted street came by way of tireless lobbying by Standard Bearer Frank 'Papa' Mena, who, Humphreys said, convinced the Prime Minister to provide financing necessary to convert the Ramos roadway into Thomas Vincent Ramos Avenue.
The political backdrop of Thursday's announcements is noteworthy: The appearance of PM Barrow as guest speaker in Dangriga comes on the heels of the historic victory at the polls earlier this month – when he led the United Democratic Party to a third consecutive term in office.
Mena was one of 19 UDP candidates who emerged victorious in the recent election, retaining the Dangriga seat which he had won in by-elections held earlier this year.
Mena succeeds Ivan "Maca" Ramos, grandson of T. V. Ramos, as area representative for Dangriga.
Ramos had resigned from Parliament this June, after his party, the People's United Party, forced him out as standard bearer, forcing a by-election.
Earlier this year, Ramos had taken up the mantle of trying to raise funds to pay for the T.V. Ramos bust, through the T. V. Ramos foundation. However, he was unable to come up with all the funds within the agreed timeline. A recent telethon held by members of the Garifuna community also did not yield enough contributions to settle the bill for the bust.

Here's a story out of Bangladesh. Three Army and Navy officers who had been assigned until recently to the Rapid Action Battalion were suspected of abducting and murdering seven civilians, including a city councilor. One of the three is the son-in-law of a cabinet minister. It took an order of the High Court to prompt civilian police to arrest the men, but not until the Armed Forces Division gave its approval could the police take action. According to bdnews24.com:
The AFD responded after the Narayanganj police had asked for its assistance in arresting the former officers.
The development comes four days after the High Court in an order asked the inspector general of police to arrest the three former Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) officials.
Since the court order, given on May 11, their arrest order was not issued, though there were no legal barriers[,] because of apparent procedural complications between police and the army.This seems to be another instance--see the evolving situation in Pakistan--in which the consent of the armed forces is required before civilian criminal jurisdiction can be exercised over military personnel. According to Human Rights Watch, which has been on the case:
Following the abduction and apparent contract killings of seven people by members of RAB and other security forces in Narayangunj district in central Bangladesh on May 2, 2014, the state minister for home affairs, Asaduzzaman Khan, announced that the prime minister had ordered law enforcement agencies to ensure that all those responsible are found and punished, regardless of their positions. The High Court, acting on its own motion, directed that any investigation into the killings be conducted by a specially constituted body independent of the security forces, and issued an arrest warrant against three RAB officers to be tried before civilian courts.
"After years of refusing to investigate RAB, the government has changed course and reacted quickly to the Narayangunj murders," said Brad Adams, Asia director. "This is welcome and hopefully marks a shift away from years of impunity for RAB and other security forces. The prime minister must now broaden the probe and create an independent process to ensure accountability for all cases, not just Narayangunj."

Obviously this is a new blog of me, but still the same me. The same stuffs to be shared, I guess.
Well, basically there's nothing new, except the blog.
The reason behind it?
Can I say, it's one of my ways to 'celebrate' the new me? I mean, the same me, but trying to be a better person, insha Allah.
If I don't write, something inside me will scream, wanting to be thrown out.
So i throw it here. :)


text: I got a storage unit in Denton, TX when I moved to Brooklyn back in 2001. I kept meaning to go through it all and get rid of the unit. After years of paying rent, Chris Flemmons and Martin Iles went with me to take a look. It's mostly just junk, except for an old boom box I got when I was ten and a couple of other things. We're having a garage sale at Chris' on Saturday, October 21 at 1322 Egan St. On Sunday, October 22 I get to watch Joe Butcher's band Flaming Fires and then I'll play a set. It's an early show.

|silent craft followed highway
My girlfriend and I were traveling from LA to Chicago. It was night time in Colorado (could have been Utah, it has been 9 years), but up above I saw a pattern of lights (craft) that was following the highway. After 10-20 minutes of seeing this craft, I pulled off the highway to get a better look.
We stopped my SUV and got out. The craft made no noise, and moved at a constant speed above. It was either the a blimp, or something else, I have never seen any air vehicle but a lighter than air craft move at that low an altitude and speed for that long.
The lights/craft continued to move in the same direction at a constant speed (following the highway) for about 45 min to an hour. Like stated above, it was either a blimp, or something unknown.
It couldn't have been missed, and it was up there for quite some time. I have always wondered if anyone but us saw this silent craft.
I'd love to find out if there was any corroboration or if it was just a blimp following the highway.
I am an amateur air enthusiast, and could identify most planes by sight. This was nothing I was familiar with.

Friday, December 14, 2012
For Friday, Dec. 14:
This year your sixth sense provides you with flashes of insight. Be willing to let go of what no longer works. If you are single, someone interesting appears from out of the blue. If you are attached, reintroduce more unpredictability into your bond.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Aries (March 21-April 19)
•••• Be responsive to a boss or older relative, and communication between you will open up more. You'll be able to share what has been making you uncomfortable and finally clear the air. Tonight: It's Friday night! Adjust your plans accordingly.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
••••• Take off quickly, even though a comment or situation could trigger a desire within you to do something differently. Sudden insights also might trip you up just as you are walking out the door. Tonight: Take in new vistas.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
••••• Deal with others directly. You will be most effective if you follow that guideline. Tonight: Add spice to your life.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
•••• Defer to others, and let them run the show. Understand that you can't always maintain a high level of control. Tonight: Say "yes."
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
•••• Good intentions go a long way, but couple them with endurance, and you can't seem to lose. You deal with the unexpected well. Tonight: Join a friend for eggnog and cheer.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
••••• Your creativity comes out when dealing with what is starting to be the customary unpredictability of key people in your life. You are starting to become a pro at dealing with chaos. Tonight: Ever playful.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
•••• You might want to try a different approach when faced with a recurring conflict between home base and a relationship. You'll need to rethink your priorities beyond the conventional mode. Tonight: Happiest at home.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
•••• You might want to stay focused on several important issues. Stay strong and centered on your objectives. Tonight: Easy works; you deserve it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
••• Be aware of the financial consequences surrounding a risk. Unfortunately, you could witness a big backfire, unless you take the time to assess the situation. Tonight: Off doing some holiday shopping.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
•••• You could be overwhelmed by everything you have to do. You are coming from a position of strength, and others will concede. Tonight: Only where the action is.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
••• Listen to what is not being said. Stay on top of your goals, holiday shopping, important events and whatever else might be filling your plate. Tonight: Read between the lines.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
••• You are full of fun and energy. You also are optimistic, and what appeals to you are thoughts that are a little more accepting and less emotional. Tonight: Play a favorite holiday CD.

The end of the year activity of school picnics, performances, and graduations are, or soon will be, winding down. Your classrooms have been cleaned and prepared for a summer break, or your summer program. That extra surge of energy that keeps us going through the end of year is slowing down.
And now? It's time for you. Your time to reflect on the year. Time to think about your experiences in the classroom this year. From first year teacher to those who have spent many a year working with students, families, and colleagues, it is a time to take a step back, to take a more objective look- and because it seems to be the nature of educators, to use those reflections to ever so slightly begin to "plan" for the year ahead.
In her book, A Delicate Task: Teaching and Learning on a Montessori Path, Catherine McTamaney suggests the following questions for us to reflect on during this time of slower pace.
What are you becoming?
In your teaching, where did you begin?
Where are you now?
Where are you going?
What is your personal evolution?
Questions for each of us to ponder in our own way. Perhaps you are a person who contemplates by writing in your journal, or one who enjoys a long, leisurely conversation with a fellow Montessori educator, maybe it's a walk on the beach, a hike in the mountains, or just sitting in your favorite chair.
For each of us though, in our own way, this very act of intentional self-reflection is crucial to our ongoing transformation as Montessori educators. It is this transformation of the teacher, "…a new type of teacher" (Montessori, 2012) who can guide children with respect and acceptance. Can you answer for yourself- where am I now?
And then where am I going? What is my evolution? What goals do you have for yourself as you look toward the coming school year? Maybe its feeling more confident about serving the diversity of learners in your classroom. Maybe its thinking about ways that you and your co-teacher or assistant can improve your communication and work as a united team. Maybe its looking at partnering with parents and families in a way that best meets the child's needs. What is your personal evolution? And how are you going to move in that direction?
The joy of being a Montessori educator, when we truly understand the transformation that Dr. Montessori speaks of, is the opportunity to improve our craft, our art, and our ability to serve our students.
"The tendency toward Perfection is the tendency of hope, of courage, of the suspension of disbelief." "The tendency toward Perfection compels us to strive beyond our human limits and beyond our imaginations toward that complete, intact, best possible self." (McTamaney, 2012)

How to Make Your Own Firefox Addon
<firstimage="//static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/fflogo.png" />If you want to start coding, there's no better way than with Firefox add-ons. If you're familiar with standard web programming languages, you'll be up and running in no time. If you're not, learning a bit of web tech won't be very difficult, and learning how to make your own Firefox addon will surely prove valuable, as more and more things move to the "cloud". Even more, thanks to Firefox's ever increasing market share, you will be potentially influencing the browsing experience of millions of people; certainly a enticing perspective.
Firefox was designed to be a very minimalistic browser, which is a good thing. This way, each user can choose which extra features he wants to install. While it may inconvenience some users who, quite frankly, are downright lazy, the extensibility of Firefox reduces inherent software bloat and improves performance.
Anyone can develop an extension for Firefox, without any fees or approval procedures. While some conditions have to be met in order to make your own Firefox addon and have it appear in Mozilla's online repository, you can host your own extension and users will be able to install it. Having your extension included in the official repository gives you more exposure, as most users will simply follow the link in the Add-ons Manager and not directly search Google.
A recent pilot program allows for self-hosted extensions in the repository search results, but they are marked as not verified my Mozilla. Add-ons that go to the AMO verification get a certificate which will trigger the Add-ons Manager on the user's system to display a message that the extension was verified and comes from a trusted source.
Extensions can use these types of technologies: CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), JavaScript, DOM (Document Object Model), XPCOM (Cross-Platform Component Object Model), XPConnect, XPI (a cross-platform installer module), XUL (an interface to the XML – Extended Markup Language).
Your extension can add features, such as RSS readers, toolbars, bookmark organisers and FTP clients. You can also modify how pages are loaded; for example, a popular add-on called AdBlock Plus How To Block Annoying Ads in Firefox Read More will remove advertisements from pages you visit. Another notable extension, Greasemonkey, will allow users to load the equivalent of "user style sheets" targeting the behaviour of web pages "on the fly".
The Mozilla Foundation provides a website for developers, which contains a wealth of information about how to make your own Firefox addons – without registering or paying a fee. There you can learn all about the APIs, languages and even case studies that cover the development from start to finish. If you're stuck, you can go ask for some help on the forums.
You should start with Firefox Add-ons Developer Guide, which was written by Hideyuki Emura, one of the first developers on the Firefox platform. It explains the thinking behind Firefox's modular design, the different types of functionality an extension can have, all about the layers of technology that need to be combined in order to make extensions easy to sue while powerful. With its characteristic "no-nonsense" approach, you will be able to learn the basics of coding extensions in no time. Another good tutorial was written by Robert Nyman, which covers the development process from top to bottom.
You might also want to subscribe to the Mozilla development blog, which keeps you posted about the latest updates to the repository, workshops & events, and more.

Had to wait for 20 minutes with a baby in the stroller, until someone finally could speak with me. It seems like they haven't got enough staff. The lady who helped me was extremely polite and kind though.
Very good services, nice and friendly staff. Nice waiting area with sofas, disabled entrance.

Orchard Dental Surgery, Frascati Way, Maidenhead SL6 4UU, UK – 01628 620764
Fantastic service from our dentist Neil Goldsmith, his dental nurse and the receptionist. It was my 13 year olds first filling and he was very nervous. On arrival I mentioned it to the receptionist and she told Neil before we went in for our appointment so he was aware. Once in the chair Neil made my son feel at ease by answering all of his many questions and explained things in a friendly, non patronising way. My son was pleased that the experience wasn't as horrendous as he'd anticipated. Very satisfied customer.
Highly recommended. My family and I have been with Orchard for nearly 20 years and have always received exceptional service and effective treatment. I have recently had crown work and veneer work done with no pain, no complications and very satisfying results.
St Andrews House, St Mary's Walk, Maidenhead SL6 1QZ, UK – 01628 674374
I always had a terrible phobia of going to the dentist. I've had many many painful procedures carried out since a young age, mainly due to taking a sweet drink to bed every night during my early childhood. I always assumed that agony during dental work was the norm. I tried so many different dentists over the years, nothing changed. It then came to my attention that I needed 2 crowns done (upper front teeth) which I was absolutely dreading! I did some research on the net, and came across some very positive reviews about Rebecca Ingledew so I booked an appointment. Rebecca was very pleasant, and reassuring, however because of my past, I still expected torture! She carried out the crown work on my front teeth (along with a few other procedures) and I can honestly say it didn't hurt! Even the injections were virtually painless. Now I can go to the dentist with no anxiety whatsoever, regardless of what I'm having done. It's a huge relief to me, so I'd obviously highly recommend her! (Kye Brecknell from Maidenhead)
I moved to Maidenhead a couple of years ago and needed a dentist quickly due to problems with a old crown. I am not the best dental patient in the world only tending to go when absolutely necessary. However my view has changed after very good treatment by Mr Kam H Lee. I got the sense he could tell I was a nervous patient so made sure I always felt at ease even through the dreaded impressions for making a crown. Crown was completed today & overall whilst it has been a long treatment period with 3 session, Mr Lee made the experience as painless & relaxing as possible, the crown seems to be excellent fit & match. I was also referred to Keshari Leelasena fro a root canal & she was excellent

Having read the previous review I am sure there is a mistake. I have been with this surgery for over 20 years and I have never had cause for complaint. Everyone from the wonderful receptionists, dental nurses, hygienists and dentists themselves could not be more helpful or professional. They always conduct themselves in a kind, competent and calm manner and I recommend their services without reservation.
All the dentists are polite and professional . Great if like me you are petrified of going -advice always clear and helpful.

Dr Ali you are the best thank you for you all support for my back operation you are the living legend Amir I would recomed to every one use roads road medical center
Best Doctors I've ever had! Lovely staff and doctors are great! I've always left there feeling happy that they helped me the right way! This is how other practices should be! Thanks guys for being a great team!
Cannon Lane, Redwood House, Maidenhead SL6 3PH, UK – 01628 826227
I have been going to this surgery for the last 18 months or so. They are very professional and the doctors take time to listen to you and process everything properly. I have found them to be brilliant. Going the extra step
This has been my GP practice for over 30 years, I miss the days where you could call and get an appointment same day/next day but there are so many more people per surgery now so it is what it is. When I do need them, I can eventually get in, they also offer evening and weekend appointments outside of the surgery which suits my work situation very well. My parents were always given the best of care. They were unable to visit the surgery themselves through mobility and illness issues but a doctor (usually Dr Sidery but I think he has now retired) would visit them when necessary and the care and compassion shown made all the difference. My father sadly died from cancer last year but their care through that difficult time was very much appreciated by the rest of my family. The practice even sent a very thoughtful condolences card. They still visit my mother when the need arises and she wouldn't be able to live independently as she does now without their support (along with others such as Optima (carers) and family). None of the doctors are the same as when we started after 30 years but the recent appointments I have had personally with Dr Ahmed and some of the practice nurses have been very pleasant and reassuring.

Went there today for a pain in my thumb, after a accident. Staff very friendly and helpful. Was seen straight away, had x-ray within 10 minutes. Was on my way in no time. Thanks
A carer and I took my disabled daughter to have her wheelchair reassessed on Tuesday 6th of March and we saw Mr Amit Kumar, who spent an hour examining my daughter in and out of her chair being very gentle and thorough, I couldn't have asked for better treatment. Amit also called another gentleman in, who made some adjustments to the chair and put new cushions on the footrest. Thank you, NHS.

So many options for careful disposal and (importantly) recycling of waste. Most staff very helpful, offering assistance openly to those with heavy or awkward loads. Area is a bit small to turn around with a trailer and that is something they won't help with. There are a few rules that apply these days; do remember your Advantage card when you go, and only 6 bags of rubble max. It is now possible to dispose of asbestos at this facility but it must be "double bagged" and a maximum of three sheets or sacks. And be prepared to be treated like a leper when you turn up with some!
Great facility for residents to be able to recycle pretty much anything that's recyclable.

Food was alright. Nothing special. We did not enjoy the onion bhaji. They were not crunchy. The spicy paneer was very good. We had a peanut sauce lamb curry and a Goa fish green curry. Both curries were nice but nothing extraordinary. Price wise I think it was expensive for what we got.
4.5 Stars! Great food! Made special food to suit our dietary requirements! Thank you for a great evening! Good service, slightly expensive though.

Fantastic little place and always busy at lunch time. I love the menu here and the sushi and service is excellent. Reasonable prices as well
Lovely independent spot in Maidenhead. Great lunch deals - the sushi and udon are delicious. Very friendly owners, gets very busy for weekday lunches.
Boulters Lock Island, Maidenhead SL6 8PE, UK – 01628 621291
Food wasn't anything too special, could've gotten the same style of food from an average pub for much cheaper. I suppose you pay for the location, the restaurant was nicely decorated and right on the river, but the service was absolutely awful. We had a table at 12:15 and after eating a three course meal, which would typically take us an hour and a half to finish, we only left at 3:15 because the wait times were that long. We had 4 different waiters and each of them seemed to be covering for the others. Very disappointed because the atmosphere was lovely. Staff needs more training for sure.
A nice place to sit for a pint. The terrace on the second floor is great. Unfortunately though the brasserie only has 2 tables outside. Food is OK for what you pay. Parking is limited, but there is parking near the raymead road park roughly a 5 minute walk. It also has mooring in case you are visiting by boat or canoe. Be aware that it gets particularly busy in the afternoons. The staff is hit and miss, as sometimes they are spot on and some not quite. All in all a good place for a drink or a snack.

The teachers are great . I am really pleased with her progress. And i am pleased with the person she is becoming.
My daughter enjoys so much at Highfield ans she wishes she could go to school 7 days per week. My daughter is getting so confident and strong as Highfield is such wonderful girl school to provide individual and creative eduation for my girl. The atmosphere in school is warm, happy but also competitive. We love it.

Claires Court Schools have been providing quality education for over sixty years to both boys and girls and, for the past twenty years, from Nursery through to Sixth Form. Three of my sons have attended the school and have all gone on to graduate with a good degree, with one of them becoming a teacher, now Head of Year 8 at Senior Boys. The school ethos has resulted in excellent public results at all levels with the Claires Court Sixth Form the best performing Sixth Form in RBWM and amongst the top 2.3% of Sixth Forms in the UK. So many boys and girls have loved Claires Court that it recommends itself as the right place for your son or daughter.
