School counselors across the land have been caught off guard with a handful of colleges sending some admissions decisions to some students in the last week. It's hard to sort out why this is happening, but it certainly gives counselors more to talk about—especially with the students who have heard nothing from these colleges, and want to know why.
Since admissions decisions are only going to get messier, it's time to send one last e-mail reminder to your juniors. They're going to have to take a backseat to the admissions merry-go-round that's ramping up, but there are a few things they need to hear from you, as they get ready for Spring Break.
Here goes:
Spring Break Plans All in Place?
Many juniors have plans to visit college campuses over Spring Break. This is a wonderful time to get to know a college better—just make sure you follow these simple guidelines:
- Call ahead. You want to make sure the college isn't on some kind of break the day you're visiting, so be sure to call the admissions office to make sure the college will be open. You also want to make sure they're offering tours that day; tours are the best way to get a feel for what a college sees as its strong points, so make sure you sign up for the tour.
- Personalize Your Visit. Make sure your visit includes time to sit in on classes, talk to professors, catch up with friends attending that school, or simply sitting in the middle of campus to get a good idea what the college "feels" like. You may need to contact specific departments to schedule appointments or class visits, but start with admissions.
- Record your impressions right away. You want to make sure your memories of a college are accurate and fresh, so be sure to write down your thoughts about a college in the car, right away—before you talk, Tweet, or share your thoughts with anyone else. If your parents are going with you for the visit, write down your thoughts before talking to them, then share your ideas freely.
- Don't know where to go? Start local. If you aren't sure where to visit, think about visiting a college that's close to home. By taking the tour and sitting in on classes, you have something to compare other colleges to—and you may be surprised at what a great college choice you have that's just down the block. It's best to visit a college campus when students are there, so don't wait until summer—call that college down the street now.
And Don't Forget Testing Plans!
Given the early application deadlines many colleges will have in the fall, students want to be sure to have at least one set of ACT or SAT scores on file by the end of junior year. Counselors have talked with students about their plans during the first appointment—but if a student has to follow up by registering for the test, now is the time, since seats are filling up for the spring test sessions.
Vacationing? Be Safe
Some juniors may be heading to warmer climates for Spring Break, with or without your parents. It's always good to take a break from school, but it's never a bad idea to keep your wits about you. Your impressions of Spring Break should be good ones you keep in your heart, not bad ones you have to share on a college application; make good decisions about where you go, what you do, and who you go with.

If you were lucky enough to live literally anywhere else besides Chicago on the last week of January, you've probably heard some buzz in the news about these crazy few days. While the majority of Chicagoans decided to hibernate indoors with heat & blankets, some chose to face the blistering cold because "a little ice won't hurt." Though it's funny to look back at that horrendous week and laugh about the frost inside the windows and the emptiness of the streets, let's hope and pray Mother Nature never curses us the way she did on January 30th, 2019. Naive West-coasters may ask, "What was so bad about a little snow and sleet this winter? Aren't you guys used to it by now?" First of all Becky, you will never get used to it. Second of all, here's "what was so bad."
2. Twelve homeless people were reported to have died of hypothermia
*Visit this link for more information on how to help the homeless community in Chicago this winter.
3. Workers literally set fire to the Metra train tracks to keep the switches from freezing over
I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do.
4. The whole city shut down - schools, businesses, stores, restaurants, delivery services, etc. were all closed
Thank GOODNESS for UberEats ♡
5. Residents were told not to take a deep inhale while outdoors because your "lungs could freeze"
Oh. Okay, cool.
6. Uber & Lyft prices were insanely high, reaching up to $90 for a solo economy ride
Um yeah, I'd rather walk at this point.
7. The lake was STEAMING
Pretty, but scary.
8. There were apparent "frost quakes" happening around the city
For a better explanation of this mysterious term, click here to read more.
9. Thousands of flights were cancelled due to the polar vortex
You were stuck - no one in, no one out.
10. However, the city came together in this time of need
Homeless shelters added up to 500 extra beds, extended their hours, and offered free Uber and Lyft rides to those who needed to reach a safe space quickly. Five CTA buses were traveling throughout the city to provide warm drinks, a heated place, and necessary winter gear to families who may not want to stay in shelters overnight. Volunteers shoveled sidewalks so that commuters could get to where they needed to go. New York City transit workers were reported to have sent dozens of pizzas to fellow Chicago transit workers for braving the extreme cold. As Mayor Rahm Emanuel said, "This is a historic cold, but Chicagoans are historically strong."

Cyber Mercenaries
(Stu Sjouwerman @ CyberheistNews) There is an interesting development I thought you should be aware of, and perhaps communicate to the powers that be in your organization.
By now it is well known that organizations get attacked all the time, and 91 percent of the organizations that were recently polled by Kaspersky suffered a successful cyber-attack at least once in the preceding 12-month period, while 9 percent were the victims of Advanced Persistent Threats.
What's new is the increasing rate of businesses turning to cyber mercenaries to penetrate their competitors' networks. Outsourced cybercriminal gangs penetrated networks and exfiltrated terabytes of sensitive information. Other attacks were outright sabotage using malware to wipe data, block infrastructure operations, or DDoS attacks that shut down a competitor's public-facing websites. A data-wipe example was Saudi Aramco where 30,000 workstations were completely wiped out by malware this year.
Unfortunately cybercrime is incredibly innovative, they are constantly improving their malware using unconventional approaches. The most recent wave is a so-called encryptor which spreads both in corporate environments and at the house. Once the Crypto-locker malware takes over the workstation, it asks for $300 ransom to release the files. If this "ransomware" has been able to encrypt the files on a workstation and/or network shares, you better hope you have a working backup and wipe/rebuild that machine.
In 2013 we saw the first instance of targeting full supply chains. An example is discussed in a new research paper (link below) on the discovery of "Icefog"; a small but energetic APT group that focuses on targets in South Korea and Japan, hitting the supply chain for Western companies. It's obviously some Chinese operation, it started in 2011 and has increased in size and scope over the last few years.
That's a good example what is now called of cyber mercenaries, small hit-and-run gangs that attack with surgical precision. They appear to know exactly what they need from the victims.
"They come, steal what they want and leave, they are for hire, provide cyber-espionage/cyber-sabotage activities on demand, following the orders of anyone who pays them," said the report. The Icefog targeted attacks rely on spear-phishing e-mails that attempt to trick the victim into opening a malicious attachment or a website. Security Awareness Training is not a nice-to-have these days, it is a must... Link:

Reset UVW?
Apply any UVmapping, Planar for example, and then apply your mapping?

To those who use 3ds max 2010 64 bit:
I've passed many hours to find the problem i going to tell you, so if it can help someone it will be nice.
I'm making a new track from scratch.
I create the road and would apply a texture on.
So, i select the polygons i need, apply a texture map, select the edge all along the side and create a form from it.
Then, i apply an uvw unwrap to my selected polygons and choose the form (created from edges) to apply to the right curved texture to my road.
Now the problem happens because there appears strange things, the texture is completely wrong applied.
To solve the problem I use the 32 bits version and all is fine now.

Gas boiler efficiency levels
The current boiler grant scheme which is seeing thousands of homes across the UK have free replacement boilers installed is in place to raise the levels of boiler efficiency throughout the country. By fitting free condensing boilers the Government hope to lower Carbon emissions nationally through less energy consumption.
The organisation which determines a boiler's grading is SEDBUK (Season Efficiency of Domestic Boilers in the UK). SEDBUK
Boiler ratings are determined are determined when the boiler and hot water / heating system is installed, although it is possible to have it assessed at any time by a Domestic Energy Assessor.
Boiler performance contributes to the overall energy performance of your property and is included in any Energy Performance Certificate or Report
Boiler performance is measured as a percentage although the European Grading method (A-G according to energy usage performance) is also often included for consistency.
The energy efficiency of gas boilers (the free boilers available in the UK are gas boilers) is assessed on a variety of factors including –
- Seasonal conditions
- Boiler / heating usage patterns
- Housing occupancy at the time of boiler installation
- Boiler storage conditions
- Boiler Location
- Boiler insulation
Other factors deemed to affect the energy efficiency of boilers such as climate and the age of a boiler are also taken into account when assessing a boiler's performance.
The boiler rating system is designed to be a fair and accurate method of determining boiler efficiency, regardless of manufacturer.
The table below reflects the energy rating and performance rating system used by SEDBUK to measure boiler efficiency.
| SEDBUK Band Boiler Rating
|Boiler energy

|Band A
| Above 90%

An Update on Our New Fund: Stone Ridge Reinsurance Fund
Posted: Farrah Gandhi
Late last year, we added the Stone Ridge Reinsurance Risk Premium Interval Fund (ticker: SRRIX) to most of our clients' portfolios. To recap, SRRIX partners with reinsurance companies and shares both profits and losses with them. Reinsurance is essentially insurance for other insurance companies. In a calm year with few natural disasters, reinsurance companies are rewarded handsomely, however, they are susceptible to losses in turbulent years like 2017. Stone Ridge has recently sent an update that covers how the fund did in 2017 vs. expectations, and how this may affect the future of the fund and reinsurance market. The report is an interesting dive into this unique asset class that we think will help clients better understand the funds features and risks. If you have any questions about SRRIX, please give us a call.

Guys, Are You Making These 5 Critical Skincare Mistakes?
- Written by Katie
According to a survey carried out by Mintel, half of all UK men use facial skincare products as part of their daily routine. Once a taboo, an increasing amount of men are investing in their appearance with the men's beauty and fashion products outpacing women's since 2010.
In general, men are becoming more aware about self-grooming with the male to female ratio in-salon increasing. More men-specific grooming services such as Face of Man are popping up, offering a range of waxing and skin treatments.
Despite the trend, there is still a stigma associated with cosmetic products for men. Some men are under the impression that using beauty products makes them less masculine.
No matter your age, gender or skin type, taking care of your body should not be ignored.
1. Applying Sunscreen Only At The Beach
Exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging of the skin. This can lead to wrinkles and leather skin.
The skin is bombarded by UV rays every day, but most men assume sunscreen is reserved for the beach or when they visit the pool. Sunscreen should be applied daily to fight off wrinkles and premature ageing caused by exposure to UV rays.
Choose a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more and reapply every two hours if you are working outdoors. Ideally, you should select a variety that protects you from both UVB & UVA because products that do not contain UVA can accelerate the ageing process.
To find out more about UV radiation, refer to this article by cancer.org.
2. Shaving Against The Grain
Are you shaving properly?
A telltale sign that you are doing it wrong is experience irritation and bleeding after a shave. Redness and irritation can be indicate that you are shaving against the grain. Some men prefer shaving against the grain because it gives a closer shave that leaves a smooth skin texture.
Unfortunately, this method of shaving exposes your skin to razor cuts that cause uncomfortable irritation. Shaving against the grain causes the shaver to pull out hairs instead of cutting them. This can cause ingrown hairs that sometimes swell into ugly razor bumps.
3. Not Applying Moisturiser Straight After A Shower
For most men, there is no better way to revitalise the body than taking a hot steamy shower.
Did you know that your skin loses oil when you take a hot shower. This is because warm water dissolves the oil on your skin, leaving it looking dry and waxy. Similarly, when you come out of a hot shower, your skin has more moisture and heat than the surrounding air. As a result, the air absorbs this moisture leaving your skin dry.
This is why applying moisturiser straight after a shower is recommended. Moisturiser work exclusively on the topmost layer of your skin. They prevent the moisture from leaving the epidermis and also replenish our skin's water supply.
4. Popping Pimples by Hand
We've all done it and regretted it.
Popping pimples by hand exposes your skin to bacteria that is on your fingers and the skin. It can cause hyperinflammation or a festering wound that leaves a scar. Moreover, popping by squeezing may burst the follicle spreading germs to deeper layers of your skin. This can cause serious infection and swelling.
Instead of popping, you should press a warm piece of cloth on the zit and massage the skin around it for some time. If the pimple is ripe, it will pop without causing damage to the skin or spreading germs to exposed tissue. If you still insist on popping, use a sterile a pin to prick the zit. Remember to apply an antibacterial ointment such as bacitracin after popping.
5. Exfoliation Is Not Just for Women
Generally speaking, there are 2 types of exfoliation: physical and chemical. For a complete understanding of what exfoliation is, this article by Healthline is a good read.
Exfoliation boosts collagen production, which is essential for radiant skin. Removing dead skin also improves the elasticity of the skin, making fine lines less prominent.
As both men and women have skin, exfoliation is valuable irrespective of age and gender. However, a professional dermatologist can help you choose the best method or product for your skin.

I am regularly impressed with the excellent management in our neighborhood and faculty district here in Austin, Texas. Truly bilingual training"—which aims to help college students develop into, and keep, fluent in a number of languages—was too typically perceived as a luxurious only privileged native English speakers could afford. By first grade, many college students are additionally receiving instruction in all core topics equivalent to math, science, and health schooling in English from western English speaking academics within the just lately established English Programs at schools. So the colonial government prolonged to Poles the rights of Englishmen," allowing them to set up the primary recognized bilingual schools on the American continent.
EBI is the primary impartial faculty in California to supply a Spanish-English dual language program, extending from pre-K through eighth grade. However, there are various kinds of bilingual education and there are some ground guidelines you should stick with to be able to efficiently teach your child 2 languages from beginning onwards. Some states have skilled bilingual training certification or endorsement requirements.
Each 'weak' kind of bilingual education is discussed on the premise of the characteristics of students and teachers, language used within the classroom (majority or minority language), aims, and language outcome (monolingualism or restricted bilingualism). I simply spent the previous hour on the lookout for an article that had knowledge to assist why Bilingual training is the perfect model to make use of, however discovered that each one articles said comparable conclusions as Faltis (2011) which is, inconclusive results about the Bilingual education mannequin being the simplest for ESL students.
Where an additive bilingual mannequin is the opposite, the second language and culture do not displace the first language" (Reese & Goldenberg, 2006, p. forty three). There are quite a few bilingual faculties within the United States at this time, serving as testing grounds for locating out whether or not this system works or where and with whom it might work higher. The most frustrating ingredient of his job is that he has youngsters coming to him who aren't able to take on their very own schooling. These results are considerably weaker than these produced by my college-degree evaluation, however still indicative of substantial benefits.
An on-the-spot report about how two bilingual schools in Watsonville, California – Starlight and Alianza elementary colleges – have managed to survive regardless of the anti-bilingual voter iniative that passed in California in 1998. Skeptics declare that Oceanside's scores are so low that they provide scant proof that English immersion works better than bilingual instruction. This trend begins from nursery educating, and continues through secondary schooling, up to and including tertiary schooling: for example, in Graduate and Master's Degrees.

Hines Ward talks about what he's doing in Athens this week.
Any time, big guy.
Hines Ward talks about what he's doing in Athens this week.
Any time, big guy.
Filed under Georgia Football
What would it be like having a Hall of Fame wide receiver coaching our wideouts, in contrast to a former running back? No offense to the current guys, but wouldn't you like to see what he would do coaching downfield blocking? How about showing off his Superbowl rings on a recruiting visit?
Or would that former running back go back to coaching running backs and we would get rid of the former wide receiver currently coaching running backs instead?
I'm not so sure Hines is a lock for the Hall of Fame, personally. If Chris Carter isn't in, then Hines won't be either, imho.
Gotta disagree there. If Hines Ward and his (how many exactly is it?) multiple Super Bowl rings don't get into the Hall then the damn thing should be disbanded.
Add Super Bowl MVP to that.
What does being a Super Bowl MVP have to do with being in the Hall of Fame? There are plenty of MVPs not in the HofF.
Being on a Super Bowl winning team doesn't mean much regarding Hall of Fame worthiness, imo.
There are only roughly 20 modern era WRs in the HoF, iirc. There are a lot of good WRs not in the Hall – I wouldn't be surprised if Hines was another.
OK, let's resolve this right now. Hines Ward is the all-time leader for the Steelers (the NFL team with the most Super Bowl appearances-8 and most victories-6) in receptions, yards by receiving and TDs by receiving, eclipsing all the records previously held by 2 Pittsburgh Steelers players who are already in the Hall (John Stallworth and Lynn Swann). He has over 12000 yards receiving. He was MVP in the Super Bowl. He also has 2 Super Bowl rings. If you don't think that qualifies the guy to be in the NFL Hall of Fame all you have done is show that you don't know sh!t about football.
Hines Ward likely will one day be in Canton. But he's not as automatic as you'd like to think… Go back and look how long it took for Art Monk to get into the HoF.
Monk had similar stats in an earlier, less pass-happy era: +12k yards, 940 receptions, 3 Super Bowls, retired as the all-time leader in receptions and consecutive games with a reception (183). Monk also was a 3x Pro Bowler (vs Ward's 4; this again was in a smaller league when there were less people passing on the Hawaii trip) and was 2x First-Team All Pro (vs Hines 3x Second-Team All-Pro).
It still took Art Monk 13 years to get voted in.
Agree. I feel he has a case, I just don't think he is a lock, which obviously means I "don't know sh*t about football." :rollseyes:
Playing in a pass happy era won't help him. He wasn't even one of best WRs of the 2000s, according to the same people who vote for the HofF. Hines was a great WR in the NFL, but there is currently a waiting list of receivers to get in, all of which I feel had better careers than Hines. Hines only really had one dominant season – 2002.
And, yeah, "Mayor," (referring to the above post) comparing Ward's stats to the stats of players in the 70s is totally a legit comparison.
Obviously you don't like Hines Ward for some reason which you prefer to keep a secret. The good thing is that you don't have a vote for the Hall so what you think or say on the subject means nothing. And I never said he was a "lock" to get in. I said he deserved to get in. BTW, I agree that there are several players who are not in the Hall who should be, which speaks poorly for the Hall IMHO. Let's hope that the Hall doesn't screw over Hines Ward–a DGD.
Brother, the thing ain't worth a damn until #34 is in it. And for those of you who have been to Canton, you know just how frustrating it is to have to go to the "non-NFL room" to even find evidence of his existence.
And he was a complete football player. One of the best blockers in the league and humble, two things that can not be said about "me first" C. Carter.
If the NFL Hall of Fame is about having football players than H Ward belongs.
There are only 7 WRs (just looked it up) that played after 1970 who are in the Hall. Andre Reed, Tim Brown, and Chris Carter all were superior receivers and none are in the Hall.
You made me look. Didn't believe you, but… wow. There are a number of talented receivers not in that Hall.
I think he's in b/c SB rings, other things beside receiving- ie downfield blocking & all the Steeler team receiving records he holds. Don't have them in front of me – but to hold multiple records on a storied franchise (as opposed to the Cardinals or Falcons, etc) will get him in.
Between the players listed above, and the likes of Moss and Owens, there's a line to get in that Hines will be at the back of, imho. Great Dawg nonetheless.
Hines Ward is the epitome of Damn Good Dawg.
Well, the NCAA limits the number of coaches paid or volunteer by rule and there is no way Mark Richt throws a current coach under the bus. But, you can just create him some random BS job and wait until a coach leaves… A "position coach in waiting" for 115k/year?
If we don't hire Hines somebody else will. I have a feeling we'll be kicking ourselves in the near future for not jumping on this opportunity.
I'm pretty sure we dont even need to pay Ward. Clearly if Ward really wanted more money he would have found someone in the NFL willing to give him some money.
Also for all those who seem to hate our WR and RB coaches. Look at our WR line up. How many guys last year were able to come out and contribute. Yea, you can talk about Wooten and Brown, but I think Brown had head issues/talent gap issues and Wooten just seems to have the injury bug. Murray had plenty of weapons last year. I know MM is quite talented, but I am sure our coach helped to hone some of that talent.
RB: I think the events of the past year and half can show that no one was gonna do much with that. Ealey and King were lost causes(one hated comp and the other struggled mightily with classes). CT seems to be a solid RB, yea he aint going up the gut with it for 4-5 yards, but I'm pretty sure the RB coach wasnt calling those plays. I mean when Crowell played with his head on he was pretty solid.
Either way, I am sure HW being there is pepping the guys up big time. Maybe a bit of his attitude will rub off for some of our guys.
I thought Wooten was out last year with a single injury: concussion. Doesn't mean he hadn't trained well or had lots of bad luck–he had an instance of dangerously bad luck. I was glad the staff put his welfare first, but it must be a pretty scary injury to sideline him for most of the year (I think he was going to get a medical redshirt). I hope he'll get to play this season, and that this isn't an injury that has ramifications for him later in life.
I'll second that, tess. Good posts, both.
I asked about the Recruiter job and whether it had been filled. Best answer seemed to be," Not yet". I like the Grad School idea and taking courses in coaching as well. Would help in oral communication. Hines has an identifiable pleasant voice that many parents would swoon to as much as a recruit. Certainly the fervor is building for his presence on our campus that could progress toward coaching here.
He's certainly a fresh breeze when compared to Tarkinton. But I guess that goes for most anyone, even Skeptic Dawg.

"Happy Howloween"
Welcome to 9th April and posting Day 8 of the "Blogging from A to Z April 2015 Challenge". Goodness this is one way to make the month fly by!!
Today is "H" - "Happy Howloween"
Howloween: a play on words.... Halloween as spoken by cats and dogs!!
I love this design - it so cute! This is yet again another freebie from Brooke Nolan (Brooke's Books Publishing) - link to the freebies page is here
I last stitched on the cute puppy back in February and I left him looking like this.... sad little fellow with only 2 legs and no body....
Those cheeky fellows came out of hiding again last night and now they look like this:
At least now the puppy/cat has the beginnings of a body! The fabric colour looks different again... the first photo is taken in daylight and is a lot closer to the real colour than the washed out colour in the second picture...
So that is "H" covered off .. (did you notice that my title had two "H"'s?)...
Tomorrow is "I" Day and this the first letter so far that I have really had to do some planning for as I have no WIP's starting with "I".... I guess it will be a surprise for everyone including myself as to what turns up tomorrow :o)
Til next time.... Happy Stitching and Happy Blogging!

The board of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) has voted to support a proposed new enterprise agreement negotiated with the United Firefighters Union (UFU). The agreement will now be put to a vote of MFB staff.
The document includes clauses requiring management to consult the union over a range of issues, including equipment and uniforms. It safeguards firefighters' pay, conditions and rosters. It ensures safe staffing levels and safe work practices. It also establishes a joint union/management committee to promote diversity.

Please join us in supporting our Annual Appeal.
Your contribution will make a difference – right here in Southwest Florida.
It is going to take a community working together to make a difference, to move the needle and to create real change in Southwest Florida. You could play a significant role in that because together we can do so much more than we could ever do alone.
This past year, we invited people from our region to imagine with us a community where business, policy makers, nonprofits, educational leaders, citizens, artists and advocates work together to create a strong network of services to help the underserved and solve issues affecting the quality of life in our region. And it's working!
We pulled together donors, private funders and other foundations to work together to pool resources for more effective funding of essential services in our region. We leveraged our funding and our mission to attract new donors and national funders to join us.
Our focus is very clear. We imagine a community where high school graduates all go on to college or a certified training program, and then gain employment in this region. We imagine a vibrant arts community that reaches everyone in their own neighborhoods. We imagine comfort for all displaced and injured animals, services for the elderly, veterans and the underserved, and an economy that is diverse and strong providing jobs for a talented workforce.
We have expanded our role to bring the right people and organizations in the Southwest Florida region around the regional table to imagine and execute effective solutions together with results to our community's most pressing issues.
We are guiding our local nonprofits in their work and helping them to become stronger so their mission will continue to be fulfilled at its highest potential. Now together we can all imagine an end to homelessness, isolation, prejudice, hunger, poverty, abused animals, health issues and unemployment in Southwest Florida.
All we are missing now is you! We need your support.
Your gift to this annual appeal is extremely important to the Southwest Florida Community Foundation to enable us to continue this work as a convener and vital change maker.
Your gift of $100, $500, $1,000 or $5,000 can make all the difference in imagining and creating solutions for students seeking scholarships, patrons of the arts, veterans looking for work, children and families in need of services, educators mentoring students, animals who are sick or injured– to everyone here who enjoys the beauty of our region.
Please consider making as generous a gift as you can. Together, we can imagine. Together we can solve.
Sarah Owen
President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Readers,
Normally I keep my other life separate from my writing life where possible. But a recent turn of events has changed that.
So I am calling out to you all UK wordpressers for help and support.
I work at SMD, one of the few remaining UK engineering and manufacturing firms. The government recently blocked an export license requested by the company due to incorrect classification of our equipment. Due to this and the general downturn in the industry the company are now going through a major redundancy that will affect around a third of staff, this is the second time this year we will be going through this process. The blocking of this license not only affects SMD in the North East but also the 200+ local suppliers and a further 500+ suppliers across the UK that SMD use.
Can everyone please sign this petition,
Please follow the link, it will ask you for your email address as they need send you an email to forward you the link to sign the petition. This is a 1 off email and you will not be constantly "spammed".
Your signature could save a lot of jobs and help make those families have a better Christmas. Please don't forget to share this page around all of your readers, friends and family.… The more people we reach with this the better. Thank you.
If you'd like to read more on this issue please see this article in the chronicle: – http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/business/business-news/wallsend-smd-workers-facing-redundancy-10531176

Watch Guy Fieri on Facebook LIVE!
Get ready! Guy Fieri will be going live on his Facebook page TODAY at 7:30PM ET/4:30 PM PT, preparing the Chicken Marsala Radiatori recipe from his new book Guy Fieri Family Food! Make sure to tune in — Guy will be giving away five signed copies to five lucky viewers, as well as demonstrating how to prepare this delicious family dinner. The recipe's below in case you want to cook along with Guy.
Guy Fieri Family Food is on sale October 11, 2016. Preorder your signed first edition copy from Barnes & Noble or Books-A-Million. Copies are limited, so reserve yours today!
Chicken Marsala Radiatori
Guy's family eats this at home once a week… every week. No other dish can bring that coast of Marsala, Sicily, feeling into your kitchen like this one can.
MAKES 4 to 6 servings • TIME 1 hour
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into roughly 1 x 2-inch,
- 3/8- inch- thick strips
- 1/4 cup all- purpose flour
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons extra- virgin olive oil
- 2 cups tightly packed baby spinach leaves
- 3 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and julienned
- 1/4 cup minced shallot
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 1 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 1 cup Chicken Stock
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 3 tablespoons chopped fl at- leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
- 1 pound radiatori pasta
- Using the flat side of a meat mallet, lightly pound the chicken pieces.
- In a large dish, combine the fl our, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Lightly dredge the chicken pieces in the fl our and set aside.
- In a large nonstick sauté pan over medium- high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Sauté the spinach until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the pan and, working in batches, brown the chicken pieces all over, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan, then add the mushrooms, bell pepper, shallot, and salt to taste. Sauté until the mushrooms are lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic, and thyme and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Deglaze by adding the Marsala and scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return the chicken to the pan, then add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and return the cooked spinach to the pan. Stir in the butter cubes a few at a time until melted. Stir in the parsley.
- Meanwhile, to cook the radiatori, in a large stockpot over medium high heat, bring 1 gallon of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt, then add the pasta. Cook according to the package directions (timing will vary depending on the size of the radiatori) until al dente. Drain.
- Toss the radiatori with the chicken and sauce, and garnish with more chopped parsley. Serve.

As a puppy, Cosette could barely walk. A visit to SAGE, then known as Veterinary Surgical Associates, confirmed that she had medial patella luxation, an anatomical deformity in her hind limbs.
"Medial patellar luxation, is a congenital and often hereditary mechanical dislocation of the patella in pets that ranges from mild Grade I luxation that often does not require surgery, to severe Grade IV luxations which are often quite debilitating to the patient. Cosette had bilateral (both knees affected) Grade III medial patellar luxations that were significantly affecting her ability to walk and certainly did not allow her to be an active puppy," says SAGE Concord surgeon, Dr. Chuck Walls.
Patella luxation is one of the more common orthopedic problems among dogs. Many small breeds have a predisposition for luxating patellae, including Chihuahuas, Yorkshire terriers, and Pomeranians. Cosette is a Papillon.
Dr. Walls assured Diana, Cosette's owner, that the problem could be corrected with surgery. After speaking with Dr. Walls, Diana was confident Cosette could be just as healthy and active as any other dog. Cosette would undergo bilateral patella luxation repair surgery with Dr. Walls at 7 months old.
"Cosette's surgical repair involved balancing the muscular forces in her knee to realign the pull of the quadriceps muscle over the femur and stifle resulting a stable patella through a full range of motion," explains Dr. Walls.
After a strict recovery period, Cosette was able to return to normal activity. In time, she began to train in agility. Weighing just five pounds, Cosette flies through tires with ease, weaves through poles, and conquers see-saw obstacles on the course. With "mom" as handler, Cosette has even won five agility titles.
Now almost 10 years old, Cosette is still an extremely active dog, and walks 2-3 miles each day with her family.
Says Diana: "Dr. Walls has given her a wonderful life."

Ticket sales for Penny Arcade's Seattle event, PAX Prime, began on May 2. By May 3, excited convention-goers had claimed every available pass. From the weekend badge that permits access to the whole of the festivities down to the single-day Friday, Saturday, or Sunday tickets.
"The bottom line is that we have something like 200,000 people who want to attend a show that only holds about 60,000," Penny Arcade's Mike Krahulik wrote in his blog. "No matter what we do, there will be 140,000 upset people. So what is the answer?"
Krahulik says the organizational team has considered a third PAX, moving the current Prime to a bigger venue, and extending the show into Monday. None of that will help you this year, so here's five alternative gaming conventions that you and your friends can still get tickets to:
California Extreme
Santa Clara, California — July 28 and 29
Tickets: $60 – Weekend, $40 – Saturday, $30 – Sunday
Each year, a group of private pinball and arcade-game collectors bring their babies out to a Santa Clara Hyatt and set them all to free play. The list of available titles is staggering (see them all here). The odds are high that the floor will have more than a few classics that you've never seen in person before. Tournaments and seminars on how to become a pinball wizard round out the event which lasts late into the night.
California Extreme is getting more popular each year, and it can get moderately crowded throughout the afternoon. If your favorite machine has two or three people waiting, just check back later in the evening after most of the families have taken off.
Evolution Championship Series
Las Vegas, Nevada — July 6 – 8
Registration: $50 plus $10 per event for tournament participants, spectating is free
The Evolution Championship Series, or Evo for short, is the world's largest fighting-game tournament. It brings together the best players across several different popular titles. The marquee event this year is Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Version 2012. Other tourneys include Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat 9, Soul Calibur 5, King of Fighters XIII, and Street Fighter X Tekken. If you're good enough (you probably already know if you are), then register and compete to win respectable sized prizes. If you're just someone who loves fighting games, then the good news is that it's free to enter and spectate.
Don't be scared. Evo makes it pretty clear that everyone is welcome. Each event features relaxed free-play consoles for people who find themselves jonesing for some action after watching the best of the best do their thing.
Portland Retro Gaming Expo
Portland, Oregon — September 29 and 30
Tickets: Sales begin May 6
The Portland-based Retro Gaming Expo is run by a non-profit organization that aims to educate people about the history of video games. It achieves this by preserving the software and hardware and presenting them in their original state to the public. Tournaments and panels flesh out the two-day convention, and the live auction sounds like it could scratch that Antiques Road Show itch that we all secretly harbor.
This is yet another expanding show. It just moved into the Oregon Convention Center, which is much bigger than its previous digs. With tickets going on sale tomorrow, it could see an influx of interested north-western gamers who missed out on their yearly pilgrimage to PAX Prime.
Strategicon GameX
Los Angeles, California — May 25 – 28
Tickets: $40 – full con (pre-register), $50 – full con (at the door), $30 – one-day (Saturday/Sunday), $10 one-day (Friday/Monday)
Board and card games are a huge part of the PAX experience. Strategicon's late-spring GameX may fill the gap with board games (Ticket to Ride), card games (Dominion), live-action role-playing (Cthulu Dice), and more. That doesn't mean GameX is bereft of digital entertainment. Open tourneys involving League of Legends and Diablo III are scheduled for each day.
A "GameX Stand-up Comedy Show" and "Gamemaster Piece Theater" both sound like the perfect panels to shake off your hand cramps from hours of shuffling through Munchkin cards.
Blip Festival
New York City, New York — May 25 – 27
Tickets: General admission starts at $31, three-day pass — $64.60 (prices could vary)
A good chunk of people attend the Penny Arcade Expo almost solely for the music. If the chiptunes genre (music made with video-game sound effects and audio synthesizers) is your scene, then this three-day concert event is the seemingly random combination of incomprehensible noises that you've been looking for. The lineup features 17 artists including MisfitChris, Bit Shifter, and Chipocrite.
The tiny Gramercy Theater has a 499-seat capacity which will provide an intimate venue comparable to the PAX experience. The only real difference is that this place actually has seats.
Be it PAX or GameX, all conventions are nothing without the people you attend with. So if you and your friends are planning an alternative to your traditional Seattle trip, let us know in the comments. Hell, some of us may end up joining you.
GamesBeat 2012 is VentureBeat's fourth annual conference on disruption in the video game market. This year we're calling on speakers from the hottest mobile, social, PC, and console companies to debate new ways to stay on pace with changing consumer tastes and platforms.

The event takes place July 10-11 in San Francisco, and you can get your early-bird tickets here.

I've written a bit before about the online resources available to genealogists and what can (and can't) be done with them. It seems that every week something new is coming online, and the quality of digitized images and search parameters continues to improve almost palpably. But recently I've been working with some much more old-school tools – printed indexes – and have found working with them can be really quick, unstressful, extremely thorough and for a number of reasons much MORE efficient at finding that ancestal needle in a haystack than the slick interfaces of many online search facilities.
While nothing can beat working with original census returns, parish registers and the like for providing as much historical, social, geographical, chronological and cultural contextualization as one can hope to reconstruct – carefully! – from these records of a byegone age or community, the limitations imposed by ONLY having access to these should be obvious: travelling to see an original isn't always possible, and trawling through heavy tomes, delicate parchment fragments or motion-sickness-inducing microfilms is certainly time-consuming and tiring, plus it can be all the more frustrating if information is illegible, elusive or absent. Online availability and search functions can and do save a lot of time and effort IF you know how to search and, equally importantly, if the resource allows you to search in ways that are most likely to turn up what you are looking for – if it exists – without being either too narrow or too broad in focus. More about this later, but the basic point I wanted to make here is that for all the time and effort you can save through effective online searching, you are of necessity narrowing your focus each time you search and possibly missing out on important context and tangential discoveries that can ultimately provide a crucial missing link.
So what about the published indexes I mentioned earlier – what makes them so good, if they are neither the original source nor equipped with a high-tech search function? What I ordered was indexes to the (approx. 17th-19th century) baptism, marriage and burial registers for two parishes in South Wales, Llantwit Fardre and Pentyrch, produced and distributed in booklet format by the Glamorgan Family History Society and orderable online via e.g. Genfair. They arrived in the post remarkably quickly and I started flicking through them immediately, and with almost instant success. So who'd have thought a booklet could be so user-friendly? It was neither heavy nor unwieldy, very easy on the eye, there was no scrolling, clicking on links, waiting for pages to load, no mechanical typing of names and dates into boxes, and all sorts of details that caught my eye here and there without me having to make a deliberate decision to search for them. (Of course I'm not seriously surprised by any of this, though I'm not sure whether I should be amused or rather appalled that someone else might be…)
But the advantages of this format go much further, and here I can make direct comparisons with online resources, starting with findmypast.co.uk. Much of the information contained in these same booklets has been digitized and made available to search online at that site (I wrote about this a year ago, when that service launched its main Welsh collection), and I must say that the search parameters are pretty flexible: variants in spelling can be taken on board (and are handled sensitively and intelligently, on the whole) or ignored as you choose, and you can search by fore- and/or surname as you like, plus restrict by date and/or parish if relevant; for some of the records, a digital reproduction of the original pages of the registers can be accessed and browsed, so the online site does win in terms of access to something approaching an original (for those records where they have been made available, at least – coverage does seem patchy). However, the booklet index offers two further approaches that are not available as search options on findmypast; and these approaches prove absolutely invaluable (one could almost say, indispensible) in the context of these rural Welsh communities:
1. Patronymic indexes for baptisms
In the original registers, a 17th- or 18th-century baptism might be recorded as something like "David son of Evan Richard", preceded or followed by the date of baptism (the mother's name is not always given). The modern way of doing things would be to assume that little David was identified as David Richard, but depending on date, area and specific family tradition, back then he might in fact have been known henceforth as David Richards, David Evan, David Evans, David Bevan, or even David Evan Richard (with David Pri(t)chard and David ap Evan being further, albeit less likely choices).
GFHS approach to patronymic patterns and spelling variants
The booklets take this "systemic inconsistency" (my term: I know it sounds a bit flippant) into account, offering one index following the modern practice for all baptismal entries but for pre-Victorian entries also providing a further index alphabetized according to the father's (or in e.g. some cases of illegitimacy, the mother's) first name. All names are transcribed as they appear in the registers, so one does need to take care to look under e.g. Howel AND Howell AND Howells, but you can see immediately whether there are entries for these (or further) variants and it really doesn't take long to flick through the entire index if you're on the lookout for more unusual variants (especially those that might not be alphabetically adjacent).
Online search facilities' approaches to the same issues
The online resources largely ignore (or are unaware of) the existence of the older naming system. On findmypast, if you suspect the individual you are looking for may have been given an older patronymic-style name, you have to leave the surname blank and hope for a manageable number of results, then click your way through to every individual record to see whether the father's first name is what you might have expected – which can be pretty time-consuming. In addition to this, some records have been attached to the wrong parish name, or the parish name is missing, so even if you restrict by parish (which is perfectly possible), you might not get an entirely reliable set of results (this is a known issue and they are working on it, by the way).
To the best of my knowledge, only familysearch.com gives you the option of searching using a combination of child's first name and father's first name only (other combinations are also possible), and this LDS site also has a powerful, apparently pretty reliable function for taking on board variant spellings. A further resource, freereg.org.uk, which in general I find absolutely laudable in its efforts to make church and chapel register entries freely available online, some of which are just not available on the "bigger" or more commercial sites, really falls by the wayside here and becomes extremely hard to use for older Welsh records: not only are you obliged to enter a (modern-style) surname, but e.g. Evan and Evans are considered two separate names, even if you check the "include variants" option, and so there is a lot of doubling-up on searches and making a mental note of your various "+s" and "-s" search history, assuming you even have a semi-workable surname to search for in the first place. Likewise, ancestry.com is not terribly reliable when it comes to soundex other ways of searching for variants. Ultimately, none of these technologies replaces the watchful human eye in that respect (or, indeed, various others).
A practical example of how some of these features play out: I had an elusive ancestor called Mallt Thomas (according to her marriage record) who was born in around 1735 (calculated from the age given on her burial record). I had hoped to find her baptism in Llantwit Fardre (where she married and was buried) but I drew a blank in both of the baptism indexes for that parish. I decided to take a look in the Pentyrch records while I had them immediately to hand, and hey presto, I found her in the patronymic index: she was the daughter of a Thomas William. The Pentyrch baptism records for this date seem not to be available on findmypast or familysearch, so I wouldn't have found her there even on the basis of a forename-only search. And on freereg, which does have the records for that date, I'd potentially have had to try out all sorts of guesses for the surname box – admittedly, William(s) would have been one of my first choices, but still, the booklets were much quicker in providing the information I was looking for.
2. Details of abode / address
William(s) turns out to be just about one of the most common surnames (by any of the systems used) in this part of South Wales over the entire period covered by the registers, and another headache I've had to deal with on a regular basis is the sheer number of individuals with identical names and similar dates of birth. Not surprisingly, back in the day people were often referred to by attributes other than their name – their profession (think "Jones the Voice" or one or two of the characters from Under Milk Wood) or their abode. My ancestor David Morgan (Mallt Thomas's son, incidentally) had brothers called Thomas and Evan, but then again so did a great many David Morgans in South Wales at the time. I know from passed-down snippets of information, though, that Thomas was better known as "Twmi'r Gedrys" and Evan as "Ifan o'r Waran", Gedrys and Waran (or Warren) being the names of the farms they managed. Flicking through the Morgan entries in the Llantwit Fardre registers can be a daunting task – based on the names alone, you can't see the wood for the trees – but the presence of an additional column on each page for any abode noted in the original PRs can REALLY help to pick out a possible spouse, children etc. Again, spelling variants are part and parcel of this – and place names do genuinely evolve over time – but it really is very quick to scan the "abode" column for any forms of names that might look familiar or resemble others.
How do the online resources compare here? Rather poorly. In most cases you can't search by abode on any finer level than the name of the parish itself, and even if an address, farm or township is specified in the original records, it is not necessarily transcribed in the indexes that have been made searchable. Findmypast has in some cases double, even triple sets of data derived from different "levels" of indexing, one with the residence included and the other not – so you do need to learn which results to look at first to get hold of this information; better still, look at the original image if it is available (and if your mouse-clicking finger isn't tired by this point).
Who provides the transcriptions in each case is also of relevance. The family history society transcripts and indexes are put together by genealogists (largely unpaid volunteers!) with knowledge of the locality concerned, manuscript and handwriting conventions (including a range of abbreviations), and the language(s) of the region. Even the best transcriber of historical records will have to scratch their head and make a "best guess" from time to time, but the results are plausible and variance is only slight. In contrast, the census transcriptions available on the biggest international genealogy site, ancestry.com, are in some cases WILDLY inaccurate and can only have been done by people without the specific range of knowledge mentioned above. People's names, addresses, ages, family status and occupations can all be mistranscribed, rendering them unfindable in searches, and Welsh placenames understandably present a further level of challenge. Even the National Library of Wales' (largely excellent, extremely valuable) probate records search is hard to use from the aspect of place names: it's great that you can search by parish, but in each case only one spelling – sometimes idiosyncratic or obscure – will turn up any results (e.g. "Pen-tyrch" will work, but the normal spelling "Pentyrch" will draw a blank). Sometimes only the Welsh name / spelling is accepted, sometimes only the English: it seems rather random. This must be quite daunting for someone with little or no knowledge of Wales or the Welsh language looking for their Welsh ancestors. The search function also offers the option of searching by "township" – this might be the name of the hamlet or farm where the testator lived, if such specific detail is included in the will or bond – and this functionality is absolutely brilliant IF said township has a stable spelling OR you are good at guessing variants, but there is no soundex function on any of the search parameters. In some cases I have ended up calling up all the wills for a particular parish in order to be certain not to have missed anything due to a rogue spelling used in the will (in fairness to NLW, it is rarely a case of transcriber error in these cases).
At the risk of repeating myself, I'm certainly not out to diss any of the online resources available – each one has its strengths, as I've tried to make a point of showing here, and together they are continuing to revolutionize people's access to family, local and social history, some of them at no cost to the end user. However, this recent experience of the sheer uncomplicated joy of dealing with more low-tech resources that are so reliable and effective has just reminded me that in so many areas, human skills and knowledge remain the key to handling all the "data" available out there, in whatever form it might exist.

As a former die-hard fan of the Ticats, I generally try to keep my disdain for the current ownership at a manageable level. This entire process has soured me on the organization and I vote with my wallet by no longer attending any games, which is my prerogative. However, personal feelings aside, we need to keep focus on the the needs of the community and the best use of the Future Fund. Some argue that the Future Fund could be used on other initiatives but IMO The WH/Rheem site is never going to be developed by private investors due to the remediation costs....so the City can win by locating the velodrome and a true multi-use community stadium on this property.

AstraZeneca's Imfinzi becomes India's first available immunotherapy for lung cancer
In a big step forward for India as AstraZeneca announces that its checkpoint inhibitor Imfinzi (durvalumab) has secured approval in the country from the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) to become the first available immunotherapy for the treatment of unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Imfinzi is a human monoclonal antibody which functions by binding to the PD-L1 protein, which tumours are known to use to evade attacks from the body's immune system, and blocks its interaction with PD-1 and CD80. This latest approval follows the decision taken by the FDA in February this year to authorise the sale of the drug in the US in NSCLC after it demonstrated improvements in median progression-free survival of 11.2 months.
Approval in NSCLC is considered a considerable boost to the potential success of a cancer therapy, with the condition accounting for 85% of all lung cancer cases, which is itself one of the most common cancers. This is particularly important in India, where the disease is the most common cancer across the country in men and is responsible for more deaths than any other, at 13.7%.
"The import and market permission for durvalumab for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer and locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma is a significant milestone for patients who have currently limited treatment options," commented Gagan Singh, Managing Director at AstraZeneca Pharma India. "In India, approximately one third of patients with NSCLC are present with Stage III disease and we are excited to bring the first immunotherapy into this setting for patients."

From QQ:
Recently, the "Most Niu Traffic Police Officer Directs Traffic While Dancing Cha Cha" video has been spreading on the internet, where a man wearing a traffic police officer uniform in the midst of passing cars directing traffic began dancing the "Cha Cha". At the same time as netizens were praising this, there were also netizens asking who this male traffic police officer is.
Yesterday, this reporter found out from the Beijing City traffic police department that this man is Haidian Traffic Detachment Qinghe Regiment Officer He Changqing, and the "Cha Cha" style of directing traffic was created by him as the "He Changqing Traffic Direction Method."
Comments from Youku:
Striking a balance between work and play…
Enduring the big sun to coordinate traffic is pretty tough work…
Looking at the taxi car models and colors, and the public buses, it feels like it is Beijing! However, I cannot be very sure! Although…hahahahaha, too amusing! If it is Beijing, where was this filmed?
Talented! Talented! Heroic!
Hehe! Made me laugh so much!
It would be good if this set of coordinating motions were spread/popularized!
The music is also very appropriate! In the future they should have a stereo system at every intersection, and a police officer like this one!
Good! Good! Good!
It looks pretty normal when watching it on mute.
Such boring hype.
Looking for happiness in the middle of work, I support!!!
Support, the hand signs are all basically correct to me, just not that stiff. I support popularizing this throughout the entire country!
This video is real, because it was after seeing this report on Qilu Evening Report today that I went on the internet to search for it. The reporter already verfied, this police officer works in Beijing, and there indeed is this person, and he works in the first line. His kind of positive/optimistic work attitude is worth us learning from.
He did not waste taxpayer's money, since he directed traffic and entertained the masses,
Be safe, everyone else do not imitate.
Made me think of the "Rush Hour 3" beginning…
Support! Being able to find one's own amusement at a dull post while still fulfilling one's own work responsibilities is even more commendable.
I think this traffic police officer is very good, very humorous. Our China should also learn more from foreign police, right? Haha.
That day while staring at him, I almost crashed.
Good thing he wasn't a 10 point pretty and sexy female traffic police officer, otherwise I would have crashed into a tree.
Very natural/at ease, while foreign traffic police officers do not dance the Cha Cha, at least they are not as serious like China's. Being a little natural/at ease is no big deal.
Life needs a little humor, a nationality that cannot joke around is a sad one.
If we were to have this kind of police officer here, then waiting at the red light would no longer be boring!!!
This kind of police officer is too cute/adorable!!
Comments from QQ:
The world is a stage, and life is dancing, so dance, but do not dance too well, or else the people passing by will stop and watch and thus cause a traffic jam.
Putting people first, I like this kind of traffic police.
I support this traffic police officer, doing his work in a relaxed manner, also helping relax other people. No matter what, it is far better than meeting a traffic police officer with a bad mood, at at least it eases the antagonism between police and the people.
As long as he does not cause a traffic problem, he can direct traffic however he likes, support!!
Our society lacks vitality/passion, like the sky is filled with regulations and discipline, but controls the people inflexibly to the point that they no longer have vigor/vitality, and doing anything is too rigid. I support the dancing traffic direction!
This has the ability to both adjust drivers' irritable moods and ease traffic, and is also a highlight/sight for the city, so with such a good traffic police officer, why would anyone not support him?! No matter what, he is far better than those people who do nothing but talk.
When you are working, you should look like you are working. This kind of person should lose his job.
Very cute/adorable, he will bring to people a little relaxation, but drivers also need to pay attention to their driving, haha!!!
If this is real, and this traffic police officer also did not because of this cause a traffic jam, I do not feel there is anything bad about it. After all, he did his work, and that is better than some people who occupy job positions but do not do anything!!! 50-years-old, and still having this kind of work enthusiasm, I admire him!!! How many people, because of working year in year out, have ground through decades, until the end they are exhausted. Yet he still has this kind of attitude, we should praise him instead of laughing at him, criticizing him!!! Ding ding ding!!
Have you ever seen a police officer do something like this Beijing man or like in Rush Hour 3?

I'm home again. It's quiet here, and a little bit chilly. I can tell that fall is really coming, even though it still seems unreal that I have a class at 9:30 on Wednesday morning, and will be teaching on Friday. I have a touch of that early-autumn exhilaration, when the turn towards cold is somehow thrilling rather than foreboding. After three winters here, I should know better than to be impatient for falling leaves and frosty nights, but I love the shifting of seasons.
I canceled my cable package. Now I only get a few channels, none of which I find very tempting. I did watch about twenty minutes of Antiques Roadshow and part of a creepy episode of Law and Order while I was eating dinner, but I've reached a point where I no longer want to have the TV on to break the silence of my house. I used to find the quiet of living alone–or mostly alone, as is the case in my mom's enormous suburban house–disconcerting. I couldn't believe how quiet it was–and how utterly alone I felt–when I first moved into this house. Lying in bed at night, I heard every creak, every rustle in the mostly-empty rooms. It doesn't bother me anymore. Perhaps it's because everything about this house is more familiar, and more cushioned now–I know the rattle of the furnace and the rushing sound that the water softener makes early in the morning, and sound no longer echoes in the way that it did before I filled these rooms. Or maybe I'm just getting old.
