We are long overdue for a coffee date.
Since I don't actually drink coffee and have quit my dr peppers, Id grab a juice maybe?
I would invite you in, we could sit on the floor next to aiden's big dino puzzle- he would be so proud to show you how we can do it on his own. And Ainsleigh would most likely either be trying to give you kisses or climbing up onto something.
I would tell you that I have a sono today (thursday) and that I am nervous. I would love the prayers.
I would tell you I have been struggling and praying about sending Aiden to 2 day (8am-11am) preschool next year. I would tell you how I don't want to, I feel sick about it and the thought of it really makes my tummy in knots. Then I'd show you what my mentor said to me…and I would tell you that I felt as clear as day that God was speaking to me through her.
"The main thing to remember is that you can always change what isn't working. You will still be his mom making choices for him if you send him. So I'd say sign him up now, and then hold it loosely. Maybe start off with one day a week. He is just going to be getting used to the outside world, other kids, having to follow simple instructions and rules. It's good for him to have that taught to him by someone in addition to you. The pain in childbearing doesn't end when that baby is born. I believe it is the gradual constant challenge to let go of our babies that hurts most. But where you let go, God holds on. Just try it. You're not committing to something you can't change. That's my thought. It's best to treat all our choices with our kids with open hands because we and they and cIrcumstances change so quickly. You're just making a guess as to what is best but if it really isn't, God will reroute you."
a breath of fresh air.
it will be okay. I can always change my mind.
Sweet Danielle gave me awesome advice also. so nice to have dear friends who have been there.
I would tell you that a few people had asked me on the blog to elaborate about me feeling selfish in marriage- and that before getting married I would have considered myself an extremely selfless person. But when you live with someone and are committed to putting their needs first, and you die to yourself daily- you suddenly realize how selfish you really are. If you asked me what has helped me…I would tell you the book " a sacred marriage" did wonders for my heart. It gave me a new perspective.
I would ask you about you, how I could bless you or pray for you.
I would tell you that my "baby" boy is going to be THREE in March. I really can't believe it, where does the time go?
I would tell you that I have been so incredibly sick this pregnancy but that it is worth every moment. And in a strange way the sickness gives me a tiny bit of peace- that a baby is growing.
I would tell you that I am giving my testimony on Monday to a group of women.
I would remind you that you are beautiful and loved and that you blessed me today.
maybe another date soon?
Oh I love your coffee dates 🙂 Praying for peace to fill your heart today before and during your sono.
Lots of love xoxo
I would tell you that I have never met anyone so beautiful…inside and out. And I am praying for a great sonogram today. What great advice your mentor gives.
Beautiful and honest as always. Thank you for sharing. I need to share a coffee date with my readers. Again, you always inspire to be open and share my heart on my blog. I also owe you an e-mail! It's been too long. 🙂
That last photo is just amazing. 🙂 Beautiful family.
That bit about 'When you let go…God holds on' made me cry. Yes, pregnancy hormones…but also because I find it so hard to let go too. Really, really hard.
Thank you for having me for coffee. I will definitely pray for your scan this afternoon.
My place next time? 😉
I love that you do these. I'm definitely praying for you Nd your sweet baby inside. The sickness does mean good things I think, so that's encouraging 🙂
And I'd love your prayers for my relationship. We just got engaged and I'm so excited, but I want us to lean more on god. I suppose that I have to start with myself, but I'd also love for my fiancé to be the spiritual leader he's supposed to be.
I hope you have a wonderful day with your sweet babies and husband 🙂
GOOD LUCK. Let us know how the sono goes.
Praying for your little bean, and for the sickness. After having a miscarriage I also was relieved to be sick, it made me feel more confident that my little one was ok! Keep your sweet perspective on it, don't let the sickness get you down…just hold on to God's promises (as you already are doing!).
aw that was so beautiful and absolutely what I needed to read.
Thinking of and praying for you at your sono today 🙂
I thank God for you Casey. I really do. Thank you for brightening my day.
and i would tell you that i really loved this coffee date, and that your little ainsleigh is one of the cutest things around 🙂
Nice post! Sacred marriage is an awesome book!
Wonderful post! I'm not a Mom, I'm a caregiver for two little boys under the age of 3, and so I can understand, at least from my position, feeling anxious about them growing up and not being with them all the time. I can only imagine how it will feel when I have babies of my own! Thank you for sharing your story, I think you're doing a wonderful
It is so refreshing to read that someone else has the same fears and anxieties as me! I put my son in a Mother's Day Out two days a week while my husband was deployed. I cried the first day after dropping him off, but he loved it. It was so good for him to have that interaction and instruction with other kids and teachers. I also found that because I was able to get household tasks done during that time, we had a lot more "us" time together, which was wonderful. Hope the sono goes well! That last picture of Ainsleigh is too precious for words.
Something about this made me emotional. Thanks for the coffee date. I'll pray for a great doctor's appt for you, Chris and the baby. I also jotted down the name of the book and will check into it on Amazon today.
Sickness is a GREAT sign of a GREAT pregnancy! I adore your blog, and am praying for a perfect outcome today with your sonogram. By the way, can't get over how stinkin' cute your little ones are!! -Shauna 🙂
I LOVED "Sacred Marriage." it was the first book I read when I got married and I definitely need to read it over and over and let it sink in. It was such a hard book to read because it was so much of doing what's best for someone other than yourself. But I also find myself so selfish in marriage that I need to be reminded that marriage isn't for my pleasure but His glory. thanks for the reminder.
Wow, I am so behind. I didn't realize you were expecting…so please accept my late congratulations! 🙂 Will be praying for you and baby. xoxo
Your photos are so sweet!!!! I understand what you mean about being selfish.After marriage ( I have been married 12 years) I know I have put a lot of my interests on the back burner (for lack of time,etc) but somehow my creativity manifests in new ways.I used to draw and sketch before being married now I find myself painting every room in my home,lol!!!!! I know there will be a time when I can focus on me again. Good luck with your baby.My daughter had a miscarriage last year and now she is due in April of this year.I will be keeping you in my prayers!!!! Blessings ,Sara
I always love these:) I go through all of those same worries with my kids…the advise you received is perfect! Thanks for sharing xoxo
sending lots of love and happy thoughts your way, casey! Good golly, preschool!! I don't know what I'm going to do when I finally get those little ones of my own, I'm already freaking out over my bff's little girl starting preschool!
Such a sweet post! I cannot wait to finally be pregnant, and I am sure I will be a nervous wreck the entire time.
It is also refreshing to read that someone else struggles with selfishness in their marriage. I might have to read that book.
Thank you for this post!
this is just so very sweet. xx
this is just so very sweet. xx
I love these posts! ….my thoughts and prayers are with you Thursday (today?)….all the best to you on this day…..you and the baby will be fine 🙂
Wow … that was one of the best coffee dates I have had in a long time 🙂 Good luck with your sono and know that I am praying for you. I feel like we have a lot in common (i.e. – finances, being newly pregnant, I am 9 weeks, and loving our babies like crazy). You do have some amazing friends who say some amazing things.
this is really, super, duper sweet. Now you have inspired me to go out and get coffee:) My husband and I just finished "The meaning of Marriage" by Tim Keller and literally the first nearly 100 pages are about selfishness (I always knew marriage would "find me out" in regards to me being selfish-I looked so "great" on my own!)
Praying for what God is doing in and through you-and especially for the wee one.
Google "Ted Talks-fetus development" to keep yourself in awe today
xoxo, Anna N (our wee one was due two days ago…)
Hello sweet love! 🙂 I know exactly what you mean about not really knowing how selfish you are until you get married. . . you don't have to elaborate. . .if you're married, you just know! 😉 AND I can only imagine the "peace" you have by being sick. . . I totally understand that. . . It is a reminder that everything is ok! 🙂 Praying for you love! Tweet us when your sono is over and let us know how it went! 🙂
i love our "coffee dates", i usually sip water :).
thanks mamas. interceding on your behalf to our Father today. he has you casey girl. soak up every moment of that sonogram & remember that he has his perfect will for you sweet sister!!
XO. to you & your lovely little ones.
I absolutely love your coffee dates!!! Praying for you today.
i just adore your coffee dates. and what a perfect post filled with loving images 🙂
xo TJ
Love this date! I am so selfish too. I totally get that. Being married is hard. It was hard for me when I put my oldest daughter in preschool and hard still when I drop her off for first grade. She used to cling to me and wouldn't want me to leave. Now she's says, "See ya mom!" It's neat to see her flourish and change. We have to give our kids to the Lord on a daily basis. It's so hard.
Very sweet 🙂 I want to tell you that you are not alone in the feelings you have about preschool. I have tremendous fears about it when my daughter, who is 3, started 2 days/week in September. I wanted to her to socialize, but not be socialized, if that makes sense? I am happy to have found a really great preschool program and she loves every second of it! She wants to go every day! I was offered the opportunity to go a third day for literacy enrichment and we started that as well. My fears for her (and myself)have been quelled. It is so true that the pain of childbirth is probably the least of our pain as mothers/parents. Letting go is faaaaarrrrr worse.
Ben will be 3 this month and we have had him in a couple different programs for a different amount of days. And we have found something he loves and we do too. Wherever you are sending him is definitely not permanent and he will make some wonderful new friends. I'll keep praying for you.
P.S. I am praying for a good sono and I agree with you about the sickness. It is an uncomfortable but wonderful reminder that all is well 🙂
Love these posts!
I'm so checking into (and prolly buying) that book.
I (too) am dreading putting my 2 year old in a MDO program at the church. I know it's best, but it's a total growing pain for me.
Wow, what beautiful advice! Leslie has such an amazing way with words!!
I love having coffee with you… well, juice for both of us ;)… you amaze me! Love you so much!
This is beautiful, and you sound like a wonderful lady. I hope your sonogram goes well today.x
My OB was always thrilled to hear each time I saw her that I was sick as a dog both pregnancies. So I'm glad to hear that you are sick!
As for preschool, you are doing the right thing, he needs to learn social skills and have little friends, it will pay off later. While we are not in the preschool stage yet, we are right behind you. I nannied for awhile and when those sweet boys started preschool, they just flourished! In speech, socially and they learned SO MUCH! Hang in there sweet momma, you'll still be his main squeeze!
Saying a prayer for your sonogram!
I've been pretty sick with this pregnancy too, but its a good thing! God is with you!
WOW, Casey you are incredible. I follow your blog and I comment here and there. I see you on other pages and know of your wonderful blog, babies and art. I had to comment on this one and had to have you know I read what you write. Thank you for such a great post. I hope I am going to be just as great of a mamma one day. You need to know how special and inspiring you are. Your blog helps tons of women, I'm sure of it. Thanks for being you.
What a sweet post. I love how you share your heart. I've had this post open all day, waiting to sit down & read it, but my babies have needed me, so first things first. But now they are all having quiet time & I'm sitting here with my cup of coffee & this really blessed me today! Praying for you and your new baby as well as you parent your other beautiful littles. You're a wonderful mama. God bless!
I love your blog, and your babies are beautiful. Good luck on the sonogram can't wait to hear all about it in your next post:).
I'm pregnant also (only 6 weeks along) but I read somewhere recently that the more morning sickness you have, the better as far as cutting down on risk of miscarriage. So, embrace that sickness knowing a little one is inside working to come out!! 🙂
Beautiful post Casey love it =] Prayers are still going your way for the newest little blessing in your life
It is an honor to be part of your coffee date casey
I pray to God that everything goes well in your sono ..
I hope there is another coffee date soon.
That children grow fast Sometimes I wish time wasnt so fast.
changed my day .. thanks!
Oh Case, this was awesome. I'm struggling with maybe putting my lil' in preschool this year as well and this helped so much. What a blessing you will be in giving your testimony to those women. Prayers for peace and that the Lord will speak through you and for an awesome sono. Also Elsie my little girl will be 3 in March. Too weird. Same ages, same love language.
thanks for always being so awesome.
Hi Casey!
lovely post! Great that you have given up Dr Pepper, sugar is so bad for your health. You should also be aware that juice has lots of sugar in it too, so you might want to consider limiting that too.. Have a look at this post for more info http://livehealthysimply.com/2012/01/natural-sugars 🙂 Love Jess x
i loved this coffee dates. i feel like were friends. Sending prayers your way for the sono.
very sweet post. i have some of the same worries. my oldest will be going to kindergarten next year. i home schooled him for preschool. 🙂
You have such a beautiful heart! <3
And I would tell you that you are a beautiful and inspiring person! Your blog just encourages me so much!
"But where you let go, God holds on." WOW. That is such a powerful statement and it kind of just blew my mind a little. I'm totally jotting that one down for future reference!
I wish this little date were real. I would tell you how much your blog helps me… thank you for writing about hard things like your miscarriage. My husband and I are trying so hard for our first baby, with no luck. My heart aches daily but I love hearing from your honest and faithful perspective.. you give me hope and remind me to stay so so close with my Father in Heaven. Thanks for all that you do.
Sweet Casey~
I went back to work teaching preschool when my Bella was just a mere 10 weeks old. She was even able to come to the school where I worked and I cried about it for days. As time passes and and I realized how much love that her teachers had for her I became more comfortable. She relished the attention from the other children and now has little friends that she will have for years to come. (Her teachers were pretty crazy about her too). I know as a mommy we think that no one can compare to us and we are right. When making the decision about putting Aiden in Preschool, find a program that is really family friendly. A good early childcare program will allow parents to stay and play, visit when they want, and participate freely. An open door policy will be a good fit for you and your family. (in fact I wouldn't settle for anything less). Start with 1 or 2 days a week and see how it goes. Don't pressure yourself or feel guilty. They are only little once. I hope that your sonogram went well today dear. Prayers for you and your sweet little bean xoxo
I've been reading you blog for a few months now and I just wanted to let you know (if you don't already know this) but you are such an amazing woman and inspiration to so many! Your blog isn't just a bunch of pretty pictures and ramblings, it has so much depth, you've got some amazing things to say! Keep on inspiring the world!
Allie Ruth Morris
Love you and your heart so much, friend 🙂 xoxo
I can so relate to being terribly sick but finding some peace in it. I've lost 3 babies and being sick would give me some reassurance that everything was still okay.
I love reading your blog. Thanks for sharing your life & heart in such a real way.
Also – love that last picture!
I love Coffee dates. I'm drinking a dr. pepper right now – we can say it's for you. Hehe. If we were really meeting for Coffee, I would tell you how incredibly blessed I was to find your blog and get to know the amazing woman behind it. xoxoxo
You are such a beautiful soul Casey. I am so happy to hear great news about your pregnancy. I love what your mentor said, it's so true. My baby just turned 2 on Thanksgiving, I have no idea where the time went but she went from baby to little girl overnight somewhere. Time just goes by way too fast.
a sacred marriage was a gift to us for our wedding. It is an amazing book (so is the devotion, if you haven't read it). My hubs and I have gone through it a couple times together….I would recommend it to anyone!
I could relate so much to your comment about selfishness in marriage that I didn't even question it. It was so sweet of you to explain how you feel. Thank you for your openness, as always.
I love your blog and always leave feeling calm and closer to God. Thanks for that.
Love your blog! September is a good month to have babies!! I'm due September 13th! 🙂 Found you on top baby blogs and am definitely a new follower!
If you want to, come check out my blog at: http://mrandmrswyoung.blogspot.com/
Love this post! So transparent and beautiful! Have a great weekend!

Because of its similar design, it is thought that the Cosmic Cross, that appeared in mosaics prior to the year 427A.D., was the inspiration for the Jerusalem Cross. The cosmic cross is a large bold cross surrounded by four smaller crosses symbolizing the four principal parts of the world. Early Christians believed then that the larger and center cross represented the supreme majesty of Christ, who is at the center of our universe.
The cross has, over the years, been offered up for many different meanings. One example of this is that the five crosses symbolize the five wounds of Jesus. There is also the perception that the four crosses proclaim the four corners of the earth with the first and largest one beginning in Jerusalem and symbolizing Christ.
Another idea is that the central cross reminds people of the crucified Christ, the savior of our world, and that the four smaller ones represent the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). Or they may represent how these gospels were spread to the four corners of the earth. Lastly, there is another idea that the four arms of the larger cross are seen as symbolizing the four directions of the world and the concept that Jerusalem is the spiritual center of the world.
The Lord's Prayer (ARAMAIC)
The ARAMAIC language is the ancient language Spoken by our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST, the same language spoken by the Prophets Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, also the same language used in the Liturgy of Jacob, the brother Of God.

The Geological Survey of Northern Ireland (GSNI) has provided geoscientific advice to the Northern Ireland Government since 1947. Promoting investment in exploration for minerals and energy resources by geoscience mapping and research and the supervision of exploration licensing, GSNI's work has prompted or contributed to a £32 million investment in industrial mineral exploration between 2007 and 2012.
GSNI is a statutory consultee to the Planning Services and comments on all applications with a geological component, and annually responds to some 600 other requests for information, mostly from industry. GSNI manages and monitors groundwater resources in the Province on behalf of the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA).
The Tellus project, funded by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI; now part of the Department for the Economy) and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (now the Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs), is the most concentrated geological mapping project ever undertaken in Northern Ireland. It has produced new geochemical and geophysical maps that will extend and deepen our knowledge of the geology, soils, natural resources and environment of Northern Ireland. This information supports the exploration for, and development of, mineral and hydrocarbon resources, informs land use planning and provides a country-wide environmental baseline.
The area of Northern Ireland licensed for mineral exploration increased from 15 to 70 per cent. Company spending on exploration increased since the publication of data in 2007 was, from 2007 to 2011: £1.8m, £3.5m, £4.0m, £8.2m, and £9.3m.
GSNI's input into IRETHERM has resulted in increased geothermal exploration.
We have a new environmental baseline of terrestrial geochemistry, identifying areas with potentially toxic levels of heavy metals and areas where essential nutrient elements are deficient.
There is now a resource for health research and public health management, as well as an improved means of mapping the distribution of radon and detailed mapping of potentially harmful elements and radiation.
The Tellus Border project (2010–2013) extended the surveys and provided integrated cross-border datasets for integrated resources and environmental management (focusing on soil-carbon stocks, wetlands and groundwater protection) across six border counties — Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, Cavan, Monaghan and Louth. The project was a cross-border initiative between the GNSI, the Geological Survey of Ireland, Queen's University Belfast and Dundalk Institute of Technology. Information from the project is assisting environmental management and is supporting sustainable development of natural resources in the border region. The project was a follow-on from the Tellus project.
Since 1947, GSNI has advised DETI and its predecessors on the management of mineral (excluding construction materials) and energy exploration in NI. NI is currently the most heavily explored region of any in UK, with 47 per cent of its land areas licensed for mineral exploration.
GSNI scrutinise applications for mineral prospecting permits, work with companies in their implementation, review progress and advise DETI on progress and continuance. GSNI is central to the development of NI policy on mineral and hydrocarbon exploration, most recently in the drafting of the Petroleum Production (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, and in advising DETI on policy with regard to shale gas exploration.
The mineral resources map project entailed compiling all available maps and information on NI mineral resources and delineating historical mines and quarries, areas of potential resources, and other relevant data. A complementary database was compiled. The project was funded by the NI Department of the Environment (DoE) between September 2011 and March 2012 and supported by an industry forum. The mineral resources maps and database provide an essential framework for assessing planning applications in areas where there is a potential mineral resource. These maps provide a framework for future economic development.
As well as the promotion of NI mineral potential to industry, leading to an increase in exploration licensing and investment, GSNI's work is central to development of onshore hydrocarbons resources through:
Mineral prospecting licences include three where companies are assessing the potential for establishing underground energy storage (local compressed air from wind farms and imported gas) in salt caverns, operations that have attracted major inward investment (£15 million since 2007).
GSNI also supervises existing metal and salt mining. There is one salt mine and one gold mine currently operating and expanding; a second gold mine is an advanced stage of development.
For 12 years, GSNI has closely assisted the NIEA with NI's obligations under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). GNSI collects and collates groundwater data, monitors groundwater boreholes and provides hydrogeological mapping, which has resulted in improved coherence of groundwater management, improved characterisation of groundwater resources, better understanding of threats and improved abstraction control.
Impacts include:
In 2014/15, GSNI worked closely with the NIEA to designate earth science areas of special scientific interest (ASSIs), a key deliverable in the Department of the Environment's 'Programme for Government' 2011–2015. ASSIs are areas of land that have been identified by scientific survey as having the highest degree of conservation value and are legislated for through the Environment (Northern Ireland) Order 2002. GSNI provided information packages under two agreed themes: clay-with-flints, and Caledonian igneous complexes. Each of these packages included site maps, site citation, condition assessment, views about management, conservation objectives and special places leaflets to landowners.
Impacts include:

If I had met more pleasant traditionalists earlier on, I'd probably be one by now.
Instead the first traditionalists I met were of the too-common internet variety I've come to call the "tradhole." First class sneering, merciless, triumphalist jackasses who gleefully informed me that I was a heretic a week after my confirmation in 1999. They were Feeneyites, you see. Ah, yes.
Not the best way to make a first impression.
In retrospect, they were typical Feeneyites--loud, insecure, and not nearly as bright (not even close) as they thought they were. But they made up for these deficiencies by going "hahahaha!" a lot and calling themselves "the Hammer" and "Heretic Crusher"--things like that.
It got to the point where I began to suspect they did actually wear homemade capes while web surfing for error to vanquish. Or at least adult-sized pajamas with the feet still in them.
It took me a long time to get past these first impressions. For about the first year after my conversion, I literally steered clear of any book with a pre-1965 publication date. Seriously. I sure didn't want to be anything like they were, and behaved accordingly. I remember passing on a cheap set of Fernand Prat's two-volume life of Christ--in the original slipcase no less--because the publication date was 1950.
[Sound of man kicking himself repeatedly.]
I've gotten past it, obviously. I even found another set of the Prat books. Without the slipcover, unfortunately. In retrospect, it was the discovery of decent traditionalists and traditionally minded Catholics that helped: people like Mark Sullivan, Shawn McIlhenney, Jeff Culbreath, Pete Vere, Hilary and Steve Skojec.
That, and discovering the profound beauty of Catholic Tradition and its impact on me, my wife and my children (more on that to come shortly).
But I'm still not there yet, and frankly don't know if I will be. The persistent problems are a few, but real. (1) Jew-baiting as a traditionalist pastime. Sorry. Not interested. Obviously, it doesn't apply to all, but there is a streak of Jew-bashing in traditional circles that is desperately in need of exorcism. (2) To say that the witness of too many traditional Catholics is dour and apocalyptic understates the case by several orders of magnitude. Not that I'm Mr. HappyPeppy Turn-That-Frown-Upside-Down myself, but Lord.(1)
Exhibit A: The Society of St. Pius I.
I'm sorry, but this is one of the more hilarious send-ups I've read. Moreover, it was written by two young traditionalists, to boot (scroll to the last link). It apes the hysteria of the fringe beautifully. Amy Welborn posted it. Quickly, the tut-tutting schoolmarms arrived, in full yardstick-wielding whiny splendor. "You wouldn't do this to Protestants."
Actually, I probably would. Gleefully. But that's not the point. The point is: It's a parody, for pete's sake! Get over yourself for thirty seconds and see that it's meant in fun--and not even directed at the average decent traditional Catholic. Not to mention far more gentle than the bile geysers you see from the far end.
Maybe more people would want to be traditionalists if they saw something of the joy of their faith shining forth. Including a willingness to chuckle at foibles.
(1) There are other substantive reasons I find myself in the no-man's land between "conservative" and "traditional" Catholicism, but I'll get into those another time. Maybe in the comments box, if you really want to know.

Policy Limits for Workers' Comp Insurance
Once a business hires employees, it must purchase workers' compensation coverage. Although the coverage is mandatory, each state has different requirements about when it becomes necessary to purchase the coverage. New York, for example requires employers to purchase workers' comp after hiring one employee, while Arkansas requires coverage after a business hires three employees. Whether it's one or three employees, business owners should know the type of protection and limits provided under a workers' comp policy.
Sections of a Workers' Compensation Policy
Although the policy is referred to as workers' compensation, it is actually a two-part policy. Part A is the workers' compensation portion. This part compensates employees who are injured or sickened as a result of their employment. Part B provides employers' liability coverage. This section protects the employer in the event the employee feels the employer was negligent and elects to sue the employer rather than accept workers' compensation.
Workers' Compensation Limits (Part A)
There is no set limit under Part A. The amount paid to an injured employee is set by the Workers' Compensation Board in each state. When determining how much an employee receives in workers' compensation benefits, the board takes into consideration the employee's weekly salary and the severity of the injury. For example, if an employee in New York earning a weekly salary of $500 is injured and totally disabled, the workers' compensation benefit is calculated as two-thirds of the average weekly wage subject to a state-determined maximum. In addition to weekly wages, workers' compensation pays the medical tab for injury rehabilitation or disease treatment.
Employers' Liability Limits (Part B)
Unlike the workers' compensation portion, the employer's liability section has set limits. The basic statutory limits are $100,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, $100,000 per employee for bodily injury by disease and a $500,000 policy limit for bodily injury by disease. These limits apply to all states except North Dakota, Ohio, Washington and Wyoming, as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These states and territories are considered "monopolistic states," where employers must purchase workers' compensation coverage from the state's workers' compensation fund. State fund polices do not provide employers' liability coverage. Businesses operating in monopolistic states or multiple states (nonmonopolistic and monopolistic) must purchase stopgap coverage to cover the employer's liability exposure.
Increased Employer Liability Limits
Given that one or two big claims can exhaust the statutory limits of the employers' liability, employers are encouraged to purchase increased liability coverage. The additional premium for increasing the limits is nominal compared to the added protection provided. A 2 or 3 percent premium increase, depending on the insurance company, can increase coverage to $500,000 or $1 million for bodily injury per occurrence, bodily injury per employee and bodily injury by disease.

yoyow.org is a under-development blockchain-based question-and-answer platform that uses a new consensus algorithm – PoF (proof of flow) to reward content creators, curators and third party platforms.It is developed by senior members of China Bitshares community. Unlike its competitors(i.e. steemit), yoyow provides full toolkit for content compliance. But yet, it is still a fully decentralized blockchain content platform. yoyow is going to start its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) on BitFundPE owned yunbi.com in the coming months.
Following are some main features of yoyow project:
Blockchain-based Content Platform
All text content such as articles, urls are storage on the yoyow blockchain, multi-media content such as images, videos will be storage on InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) network. The underlying architecture used by yoyow
blockchain is Graphene, which provides lightning fast confirmation speed and it is essential to a blockchain- based content platform.
Content Compliance
Like witness system used by bitshares, yoyow has a similar system called "Council".The members of Council are elected by stakeholders of the platform. Except for generate blocks, etc. the Council also has the right of removing content from the blockchain if it violates the law. BUT the removal right can only be used when majority reached in the Council.
PoF (proof of flow)
For any kind of social media platform and website, its value is always about website traffic. Platform carry information users needed. Traffic brings advertisement and profits to platform. So we believe user's value to the platform can be evaluated by how many effective traffic users brings to the yoyow platform, and at the same time, yoyow gives rewards to users that creating useful content which attract more traffic to the yoyow platform.

We all want to help our kids. But what do we do when what they need is more than we can seem to give? Or more than we can seem to even understand? And what about how to help a child with autism? Welcome to just one of the many challenges of raising a child on the autism spectrum. When my son was diagnosed with autism at age 3, my desire to help him led me to make all the wrong decisions.
Autism Regression
I made wrong decisions about his diet, about therapy, about schooling and education, and I even made wrong decisions in my parenting approach. Being that I didn't really understand how to help my child, my decisions for him were based on what "professionals" told me would be best. Well, his autism became more severe over the course of his first year of treatment… and I had become painfully aware that in my effort to help my child, I must have been doing something really, really, wrong. How else could his regression and unbearable behavior be explained?
I wasn't willing to accept the notion that this was just our destiny as many professionals inferred. The common attitude was that autism gets worse with age, and so that my son's future was lost and we were doomed as a family. I found this totally unacceptable. So, I made the decision to cut off all ties to the help and advice I was receiving from the mainstream and I resolved to recover my child on my own.
Autism Recovery
Indeed, it's a damn good thing I made that call, because if I hadn't I can tell you that my child wouldn't have recovered. His trajectory was pretty sad and didn't begin to look up until I got smart and stopped doing everything they told me to. I discovered that there is a lot of misinformation and advice out there about how to help autistic kids, and after recovering my son, I can tell you that most of it is entirely useless.
What I discovered is that unless you actually understand what you child is going through, you can't help them. It's like giving a drowning man a match when what he needs is a life vest, or a lift out of the water. Take it from me, there's a lot to learn about how to help your child, but the number one thing you've got to understand is that you must complete the question. The phrase "How to help your child" is totally incomplete.
Ask the Right Questions about Autism Recovery
How to help them what? Get dressed? Eat their lunch? Say their name??? Come on. Let's be specific.
How about: How to help your autistic child recover.
That's the question I began to ask, which lead me to ask more specific questions, and that's when I started to get real answers. That's when I began to see my son again, smiling and happy, finally free from the autism that previously consumed him.
Now, this article is in no way going to be able to answer all your questions, but it will provide you with some concrete parameters that will guide you in your quest to learn to ask the right questions.
A wise man once said that a man should be judged not on the quality of his answers, but on the quality of his questions. That saying should become your mantra in your quest to recover your child. Fortunately, there are a few simple "Do's" and "Do Not's" that will help you learn to ask the right questions.
Do this to help a child with Autism
Let's start with the Do's.
- Do get started on a therapeutic diet, like GAPS, right away.
- Do seek guidance from others who have succeeded in doing what you desire.
- Do believe your child in everything they tell you is real (both verbally or non-verbally).
The GAPS diet is what I used as a foundation for my son's recovery. I can tell you for certain, that it was the one factor that enabled everything else we did to work. Learn more about the GAPS diet by reading What is the GAPS Diet here.
I made up my mind that I would never again take advice from anyone who hadn't walked in my shoes and succeeded in what I desired. This one single philosophy will clearly keep your wallet shut and your ears open when you heed the advice.
As far as believing your child is concerned, I learned from Aaron that he had a reason for every single thing he did, and every single thing he didn't do that kept him on the spectrum. Make up your mind that your child is completely normal, but having abnormal experiences. You must accept your child's reality before you can begin to help them cope with it.
Do NOT do this…
Now for the Do Not's.
- Do Not treat your child like a yo-yo.
- Do Not allow your child's world to revolve around electronic obsessions.
- Do Not fill your child's day with routines and therapy's that stress them out.
Hopping from one doctor to the next, from one supplement to the next, and from one therapy to the next is what I mean by treating your child like a yo-yo. Doctor's supplements and therapies are absolutely necessary, but only in the right order and at the right time. Understand that when you jerk your child around every 4 – 8 weeks trying out the next new thing, you are actually seriously screwing with your child's development. This will make it harder for them to recover, not easier. So beware.
Electronic devices like computers, lap tops, cell phones, iPads, TV's, etc. hold our children captive and seemingly pacified for hours on end. For this reason many of us are tempted to just give them what they want. It's easier than dealing with the tantrums and obsessive stimming, right? Wrong.
If you think tantrums and obsessive stimming are bad now, just wait. Your child's connection with electronic media drives the wedge between them and you deeper and deeper with every passing hour. Furthermore, autistic kids are subject to experiences extreme sensory processing disorders, and all that electronic stimulation is a huge aggravator.
Big mistakes that sabotage autism recovery
Lastly, I need to tell you that I observe a very large number of parents making the mistake of forcing their kids into special schools and therapies when their child isn't ready for them. This is a long and complicated argument, but let me leave you with those concrete parameters I promised early on to guide you.
Ask yourself these two questions.
- "Does this routine create stress in my child's life in any way?" and
- "Am I really seeing significant improvement to warrant continuing"
If you answer "no" to those questions, then you should quit. Quit the school, quit the therapy, quit the daycare, you name it.
Here's why: Kids can't recover when they're stressed or sick. So don't put them in situations that add to stress or sickness. And if your child isn't making progress, it's because you missed asking some very basic questions about their condition, which have led to getting your child involved in activities and routines that they are not yet ready for.
How to help a child with autism
Autism recovery is a slow, methodical process.
Be patient, be inquisitive, be flexible, and honest and you will begin to see the way to recovery.

Class Actions
Shrader Law achieves substantial results for the consumers we represent and have achieved millions of dollars in settlements from the world's largest and most powerful corporations.
Shrader Law is a leader in consumer-protection litigation. In a world of frivolous lawsuits, the consumer rights litigation conducted by Shrader Law stands as an example of what class actions can accomplish – meaningful change and just compensation. Shrader Law takes cases across the full spectrum of deceptive, unfair and fraudulent business practices often used by large corporations.
It is the voiceless consumers that often suffer the worst of corporate wrongdoing and have little power to hold companies responsible for their behavior.
We pursue class-action litigation to challenge fraudulent practices that individual consumers alone cannot effectively dispute.
What is a Class-Action Lawsuit and How Does it Work?
A class-action lawsuit is a civil lawsuit brought on behalf of a group of people or business entities who have suffered common injuries as a result of a corporation's conduct, with at least one individual or entity acting as a representative of that group. While the issues of a class action can vary, the issues in dispute are common to all class members.
Class actions can be brought in either state or federal court, depending on which has jurisdiction.
Why Are Class Actions Preferred?
Each litigant could bring their own action, so why join all the actions into one class-action lawsuit? Because it is often more practical for the plaintiff, the court, and the defendants to join the individual actions into one lawsuit.
Class actions can be more efficient. A class action means just one set of witnesses, one set of experts, one judge, one courtroom, and one set of issues. This efficiency makes it less expensive and easier for one law firm to handle one case than having one or more law firms try multiple cases.
Often a corporation will defraud many people of only a few dollars. A few dollars often does not justify the time and expense of many individuals to bring their own case.
One recovery also means all the victims get a fair distribution of the damages. When there are multiple lawsuits, the first few plaintiffs to win may get all the insurance proceeds or all the assets of the defendant leaving little or no money for those who win their cases later.
Class actions levels the playing field. Big corporations are better situated to financially defend just one claim. But when a law firm like Shrader Law brings a class action on behalf of many claimants, then the contest becomes a fair dispute. A defendant corporation that has to defend multiple claims is not only more likely to settle the class action but is more likely to really change its deceptive and unfair practices.
Shrader Law is always interested in exploring avenues for class action litigation. If you think you might have a case against a corporation that has also affected other people, don't hesitate.

Spent years without really having anything but the playcounter component. Every guide recommends the portable installation so I thought I'd give that a try. Uninstalled foobar and reinstalled it using the aforementioned way. I go to Media Library, select my music folder's location and hit Apply, OK. Nothing happens. It says it's monitoring it but nothing is showing up. I tried reinstalling foobar and restarting the PC, but the issue persists. Also, after doing the portable installation I noticed that the program isn't actually "recognized" as being installed in the system, so to speak. It does not show under Control Panel > Programs and it isn't on the main menu shortcuts either. I'm using Windows 7.Hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks in advance!

Burnley H (TC Match Report)
There have been many, many grounds through the years on which City fans have been left angry and embarrassed. None quiet so often as Turf Moor. The scene of probably the most heart-breaking night in the club's history continues to torment us and the latest defeat at the hands of Burnley, a ninth in our last eleven visits, was so bewilderingly inept that describing it in words that won't offend is almost impossible.
It has to be said - Burnley are rubbish. That's not bitterness. Just cold, hard fact. They haven't gone ten Premier League games without a win because of some cruel quirk of fate. They are a second division team playing top flight football. Sean Dyche picks a team in a basic 4-4-2 formation. They hit "percentage" balls into areas they think Danny Ings pace might trouble the opposition and if the opposing defence meet the ball first, they work incredibly hard to be first to the second ball. Defensively they are well drilled and their wide players become secondary full-backs the second they cough up position (which is pretty often).
Fortunately for Burnley, limitations and all, Hull City are like a pension scheme for mediocre teams in wretched form. Remember Sheffield Wednesday starting the 2007/08 season with six straight defeats until salvation turned up in black and amber. Or ten years earlier when Doncaster Rovers, one of the worst sides in English football history, ended an eight match losing run at our expense. Even just a year ago we provided the stepping stone on which Crystal Palace built their path to safety.
Once again in just-about-Lancashire we demonstrated our unerring ability to be even worse than anyone could possibly predict. It's not about ability. This team has recently earned great praise for its ability to match Arsenal and Liverpool on their own ground. This was a submissive performance from a side that demonstrated the distinct lack of a backbone. They didn't compete with Burnley. They barely even tried. In the key midfield area in particular, Burnley drew a battle line and we didn't fancy it at all.
The Tigers (3-5-2): Harper; Chester, McShane, Davies; Elmohamady, Huddlestone, Livermore, Diame, Brady; Aluko, Hernandez.
Steve Harper returned in goal showing that Steve Bruce would literally play a one-armed man over Jakupovic while Aluko came in for Ben Arfa. Presumably to provide the pace to threaten defenders in behind and to stop Hernandez cutting the lonely figure he did against Southampton a week ago.
Danny Ings missed the first chance of the game after forty seconds. He out-muscled McShane and latched onto the first of many hopeful balls over the top but flicked the ball over Harper and wide of the far post. Burnley were edgy in possession and presented the ball to Aluko who ran at the last-man, Shackell, but saw his shot blocked. At the other end James Chester picked up a booking for a clear obstruction on his old mate George Boyd who'd megged him. Mark Clattenburg was super quick to flash the yellow card which set the tone for his afternoon. He'd flash nine more.
On nineteen minutes, the chants of "City till I die" only encouraged Burnley who forced a corner. Stephen Ward headed it down at the back post and Ings turned and hammered a goal-bound shot only for Harper to keep it out with an incredibly strong right wrist. The rebound was also poked goalwards but Robbie Brady kicked it off the line and despite the hopeful appeals from the home side, Mark Clattenburg's watch didn't signal a goal.
A goal for either side didn't look remotely likely in the remainder of the half. Burnley gathered some momentum gaining confidence from their increasing dominance in the middle of the park and the sporadic Tigers' attacks. Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore, not for the first time this season, were useless without the ball and pointless with it. Mo Diame, so impressive recently, was equally wasteful. Diame has a languid style that looks a thing of natural beauty when he's on top of his game but protrudes an aura of laziness when he isn't. Our wing-backs were being neutered by the hard working Burnley wingers Arfield and Boyd dropping back to fill the spaces they love to exploit and Aluko was twisting and turning his way to nowhere in particular.
An uninspiring half came to a close and we wished we'd stayed in the cricket club next door and had a few more pints. The second half against Southampton was a major disappointment and whatever malaise the players fell into during that half time break at the KC was proving tough to get out of.
Just two minutes into the second half, Steve Bruce decided he'd had enough of waiting for the players to lift it and prepared two subs. It was odd timing so I assume he'd send them out with the threat of making changes after five/ten minutes and almost immediately regretted it. With Stephen Quinn ready on the touchline and Gaston Ramirez tying his laces – Burnley made him pay for not making the change at half time.
Danny Ings saw a shot blocked by Davies after Burnley too easily manoeuvred their way to the edge of our box. The block rebounded to right back Kieran Trippier whose beautiful cross was thumped home by the forehead of Ashley Barnes. A player without a Premier League goal scoring for the side without a Premier League win. Forget Children In Need – this was charity.
They didn't particularly deserve to lead but we deserved to be behind. Annoyingly they'd scored from a lovely right-wing cross after we'd spent forty-five minutes watching Elmohamady refuse to try such a thing. The expected City response came slowly. Hernandez headed straight at Heaton after Elmohamady rescued a Diame "shot" by the corner flag. Ben Arfa replaced Chester and after several minutes of the players looking utterly mystified as to where they should be playing, we settled into a 4-4-2 with Ben Arfa and Quinn wide and Ramirez up front with Hernandez.
Quinn was the pick of the substitutes and found a little joy on the left hand side producing one particularly brilliant cross that flew across the six yard box and away without anyone in black and amber gambling sufficiently. Ben Arfa produced one brilliant touch but otherwise flattered to deceive. The same was true of Ramirez who continues to bring absolutely nothing to the table. He's a delightful footballer who floats with or without the ball and has an exquisite touch but it just doesn't translate into anything particularly effective. Unfortunately things that produce goals like crosses, shots or well-timed runs into the penalty area aren't on his agenda. If you were wondering why such a cultured player has struggled so much at Southampton – this is why.
On 63 a Robbie Brady free kick caused a scramble in their penalty area and a towering Curtis Davies header leads to Hernandez turning and firing a shot into bodies. A half-hearted handball shout is waved away and as the ball flies up into the air Davies tries an overhead kick at the far post. It was an idiotic way to kill a promising attack against a jittery defence. Within a minute Davies is involved at the other end as Burnley scream for a handball decision against him. That is also waved away but Davies goes down, leaves the field and, after eight minutes of thinking about it, doesn't return – leaving us with only ten men for the remainder. Davies wanders sheepishly past the away following holding his back, presumably hurt trying that ridiculous bicycle kick.
The ten men took the game to Burnley, who were happy just to whack everything clear and reorganise, but didn't have enough to penetrate the defence. The only clear cut chance fell to Hernandez who met Robbie Brady's excellent cross at the near post but could only get a flick on the ball when he looked primed to score. The rest of the game was spent kicking lumps out of each other with Marney, Ings, Brady, Livermore and Jutkiewicz picking up bookings in the last five minutes alone and joining Chester, Ward, Duff, Shackell and Hernandez on the back of Clattenburg's yellow card. He'll be sharpening his pencil before next week. Assuming he's not dropped for rushing home to watch X-Factor or something.
There was a massive amount of inevitability about this result. I tweeted weeks ago hoping that Burnley might beat Everton or Arsenal to avoid going into this game winless. I did imagine that certain home victory coming as the result of a terrible refereeing decision, a breakaway goal or some other terrible miscarriage of justice. I didn't expect it to go down as a result of our own cowardice.
Both players and management will struggle to look themselves in the mirror today. With the possible exception of Paul McShane, Robbie Brady and Steve Harper's good arm. There's nothing wrong with being out-thought. But when you've come second in the brains department to well-organised but tactically limited side – there is a problem. Like Southampton last week, Burnley found it too easy to castrate Elmohamady (not literally) and their two midfield players outworked our three. In the absence of Nikica Jelavic, Bruce is struggling to think of a way to get the best of Hernandez and give the team a focal point.
These signs are worrying. This is clearly the most talented group of players we've ever had but as a team we play in fits and starts and haven't put together a strong ninety minutes too often. That's why we only have eleven points from eleven games and we are looking at a relegation battle. I'm not panicking just yet. I'm nervous though. A few more performances like we've seen in the last game and a half and we'll be deep in the mire. And that makes the possibility of a trip to Turf Moor next season a reality. And I can't cope with that. I bloody hate that place.

Now that I have your attention with two very touchy subjects, Pro-Life / Pro-Choice and Porn, please allow me to try to make the following point across.
I completely support your right to protest against something, and for you to have your religious beliefs. Fine.
But where does your right to protest interferes with my right of not feel violated, or the right of my (young school age) daughters of not being assaulted by the very graphical images (sorry about this) of dismembered fetuses after an abortion?
Which brings me to the second point. Pornography, in general is not exhibited in the public space, even a sex-shop has to be very careful on what they can show in their showcases or even in their store. Some here, like Venus Envy, had to end distributing DVDs and magazines because some costumers were offended by the content. Now they have to stick to what is considered Educational Material.
Anyhow, at the end, we don't show porn or sexual acts openly in the street? To "protect the children."
Wouldn't the same principle apply to the very graphical imagery that the pro-life protesters use to make their point?
Also, why does the pro-life movement engages high school students to push their protest?
I think its a very dangerous combination of High School Students and Pro-Life Protest.
From my point of view, no minor (under 18?) should be involved in a protest. They lack the criteria of what entitles to be in a protest, nor what they are protesting for, they just do what they are told to do. And now days, with the climate of violence around the world, its simply unsafe. A protest can turn ugly at any minute, and no one wants any children there.
Please do it for my children, all of the children, to protect their innocence as long as we can, independently of our religious beliefs.

I said I'd give a talk on the state of things in Perl 5, which I'd done at YAPC::NA and OSCON, and which had gone well. It seemed like the topic to cover, given that I was presumably being invited over in large part due to my current work as pumpking. I only realized at the last minute that I was giving the talk as a keynote to a plenary session. This is probably good. If I'd known further in advance, I might have been tempted to do more editing, which would likely have been a mistake.
Closer to the conference, I was asked whether I could pick up an empty slot and do something, and of course I agreed. I had some pipe dreams of making a new talk on the spot, but cooler heads prevailed and I did a long-shelved talk about Dist::Zilla.
Both talks went acceptably, although I was unhappy with the Dist::Zilla talk. I think there's probably a reason I shelved it. If I do talk about Dist::Zilla again, I'll write new material. The keynote went very well, although it wasn't quite a full house. I wasn't opposite any speaker, sure, but I was competing with the iPhone 5s/5c launch. Ah, well! I got laughs and questions, both of which were not guaranteed. I also think I got played off about ten minutes early, so I rushed through the end when I didn't need to.
This wouldn't have happened, if I'd stuck to my usual practices. Normally when I give a talk, I put my iPhone on the podium with a clock or timer on it, and I time myself. I had been using an iOS app called Night Stand for this, the last few years, but I couldn't, on Friday. I had, for no very good reason, decided to upgrade my iPhone and iPad to iOS 7 on the morning before the conference. Despite briefly bricking both devices, I only encountered one real problem: Night Stand was no longer installing. After my keynote, I went and installed a replacement app, and chastised myself for not sticking to my usual routine.
By the time I was giving that keynote, I'd been in town for four days. A lot of activity tends to follow YAPCs, so it would've been nice to stick around afterward instead, but I was concerned about getting my body at least somewhat onto Tokyo time beforehand. Showing up to give a presentation half dead didn't seem like a good plan.
The trip wasn't great. I left home around 5:30 in the morning and headed to the bus stop. Even though it was going to be 80°F most of my time in Tokyo, it was only 40°F that morning, and I traveled in long pants. I agonized over this, and had thought about wearing sweat pants over shorts, or changing once I got to the airport. I decided this was ridiculous, though. It turned out, later, that I was wrong.
I flew out of Newark, which was just the way it always is. I avoided eating anything much because prices there are insane, but when my flight was delayed for three hours, I broke down and had a slice of pizza and an orangina. I also used the time to complete my "learn a new game each week" goal by learning backgammon. I killed a lot of time over the next few days with that app. It didn't take long to get bored of my AI opponent, but I haven't yet played against a human being.
The flight was pretty lousy. I'd been unable to get an aisle seat, so I wasn't able to get up and move around as much as I wanted. Worse, the plane was hot. I've always found planes to be a little too warm on the ground and a little too cool in the air. The sun was constantly baking my side of the plane, though, so it was nearly hot to the touch. I was sweating and gross, and I wished I had switched to shorts. The food was below average. I chose a bad movie to watch. When we finally landed, immigration took about an hour. I began to despair. It would 24 hours of travel by the time I reached the Pauley's, where I would stay. Was I really going to endure another awful 24 hours in just six days?
My spirits were lifted once I got out of the airport. (Isn't that always the way?) I changed my dollars to yen, bought a tiny bottle of some form of Pepsi, and went to squint at a subway map.
On my previous trip, I had been utterly defeated by the map of the subway at Narita. It looks a lot like any other subway map, but at each station are two numbers, each 3-4 digits. Were they time? Station numbers? Did I need to specify these to buy a ticket? The ticketing machines, though they spoke English, were also baffling. I was lost and finally just asked the station agent for help getting to Ueno Station.
This time, I felt like an old hand. I had forgotten all about the sign, but its meaning was immediately clear. They were prices for travel to each station, in yen, for each of the two lines that serviced the route. I fed ¥1200 into a ticket machine, bought a ticket, and got on the Keisei line toward Ueno. I probably could've done it with the machine's Japanese interface! I felt like a champ. Later, of course, I'd realize that the Keisei line takes a lot longer than the Skyliner, so maybe it wasn't the best choice… but I still felt good. Also, that long ride gave me time to finally finish reading It Can't Happen Here. Good riddance to that book!
My sense of accomplishment continued as I remembered the way to Marty and Karen's place. When I got in, I called home and confirmed that I was alive. I said that before we did anything else, I needed a shower. Then we chatted about this and that for a few hours and I decided that I didn't need to eat, just sleep. When I woke up, the sun was already up! It was a great victory over jet lag! Then I realized that it was 5:30 a.m., and the sun just gets up quite early in Tokyo. Land of the rising sun, indeed!
I got some work done and called home again. (Every time I travel, FaceTime grows more excellent!) Eventually, Karen and I headed out to check out the things I'd put onto my "check out while in Tokyo" list. First up, the Meiji Shrine!
We went to shops, did some wandering, and did not eat at Joël Robuchon's place in Rippongi. (Drat!) We got soba and retired for the night. The next day, we met up with Shawn Moore for more adventures. We went to Yoyogi Park, got izakaya with Keith Bawden, Daisuke Maki, et al., and Shawn and I ended our night with our Japanese Perl Monger hosts. We had a variety of izakaya food, but nothing compared, for me, to a plate of sauteed cabbage and anchovy. I could've eaten that all night. I also learned, I think, that I don't like uni. Good to know!
The next day, Shawn, Karen, and I headed down to Yokohama. Shawn and I had to get checked into our hotel. We planned to get to Kamakura to see the statue of the Amida Buddha, but got too late of a start. They both shrugged it off, but I felt I was to blame: we had to wait while I un-bricked my iPhone after my first attempt to upgrade its OS. Sorry! (Of course, they got to go later, so I'm not that sorry!)
Before leaving Minami-Senju, though, we got curry. Shawn had been very excited for CoCo Curry on our 2011 trip, and I was excited for it this time. Their curry comes in ten levels of hotness. I'd gotten level five, last time, and this time got six. In theory, you have to provide proof that you've had level five before (and, you know, lived) in order to get level six. I didn't have my proof, though, and I thought I might need Shawn to badger the waitress for me. Nope! I got served without being carded. I had found level five to be fairly bland, and so I expected six to be just a bit spicy. It was hot! I didn't get a photo! I really enjoyed it, and would definitely order it regularly if it we had a CoCo Curry place in Pennsylvania.
If I go back to Tokyo, I will eat level seven CoCo Curry. This is my promise to you, future YAPC::Asia organizer. Yes, you may watch to see if I cry.
Our hotel was just fine. The only room I could get was a smoking room (yuck) but that was the only complaint I had, and I knew what I was getting into there. For some reason we turned on the television, and sumo was on. We stared at this for a while, transfixed. It didn't last long, though. The spectacle was interesting, but the sport much less so, at least to me. Karen hit the road, Shawn and I worked on slides in earnest, and then we headed out to look for food. I put Shawn in charge (this was a common theme of my trip) and he found an excellent yakiniku place. We ordered a bunch of stuff with no idea what it was, except the tongue, and were not disappointed. (Shawn warned me at the outset: "I don't know a lot of food words.")
After some more slide wrangling, we crashed and, the next morning, were off to the conference.
YAPC::Asia is a strange conference for me. On both of my trips there, I've been an invited speaker, and felt very welcome… but feeling welcome isn't the same as feeling like a part of things. The language barrier is very difficult to get past. It's frustrating, because you find yourself in a room full of brilliant, funny, interesting people, but you can't quite participate. It's sort of like being a young child again.
Of course, that's what happens when the room is full of Japanese-speakers listening to another Japanese-speaker. It certainly need not be the case in one-on-one conversation. I chatted with Daisuke Maki, Kenichi Ishigaki, Hiroaki Kobayashi, and some others, but it was far too few and too infrequent. It was much easier to stick to talking to the people I already knew. In retrospect, this was pretty stupid. While it's true that I don't see (say) Paul and Shawn and Karen very often, I can talk to them whenever I want, and I know what topics to ask them about and so on.
This year, YAPC::Asia had eleven hundred people. So, that's something like a dozen that I knew and 1088 that I didn't. Heck, there were even a few westerners I didn't go pester, where there'd be no language issue. I wanted to try to convince more of the amazing talent in the Japanese Perl community to come hack on perl5.git, and for the most part, I did not do this outside of my in-talk exhortation. In that sense, my YAPC::Asia was a failure of my own making, and I regret my timidity.
In every other aspect, the conference was an amazing success as far as I could tell. It was extremely friendly, professional, energetic, and informative. I sat through a number of talks in Japanese, and they were really interesting. People sometimes talk about how there's "CPAN" and "Darkpan" and that's that. You're either working with "the community" or you're not. The reality is that there are multiple groups. Of course "we" know that in "the" community. How much crossover is there between the Dancer community and the Perl 5 Porters? Some. Well, the Japanese Perl community — or, rather, the community in Japan that made YAPC::Asia happen — has some crossover with the community that makes YAPC::NA happen, but there are large disjunct segments, and they're solving problems differently, and it's ridiculous to imagine that we can't learn from each other. Even if it wasn't self-evident, it was evident in the presentations that were given.
After attending the largest YAPC ever, by quite a lot (at 1100 people!) it was also sad to learn that this may be the last YAPC::Asia in Tokyo for some time. The organizers, Daisuke Maki and the enigmatic "941" have been doing it for years, and have declared that they're done with it. It seems unlikely that anyone will step in and run the conference in their stead, at least in Tokyo. There may be, they suggested, a change to regional Perl workshops: one in Sapporo, one in Osaka, and so on. Perl workshops are great, but will I make it to the Osaka Perl Workshop? Well, we'll see.
If I do, though, I'm going to do my best Paul Fenwick impression and force everyone there to talk to me all the time.
When the conference was over, Karen, Marty, Paul, Shawn and I headed to dinner (with Marcel, Reini, and Mirjam) and then to… karaoke! At first, Marty was reticent and not sure he'd stick around. Paul's opening number changed his mind, though, and we sang ridiculous songs for ninety minutes. I drank a Zima. A Zima! I thought this was pretty ridiculous, but Paul one-upped me, or perhaps million-upped me, by ordering a cocktail made with pig placenta. I declined to sample it.
The next day, after a final FaceTime chat with Gloria and a final high five for Paul, I headed out to the airport. In 2011, I cut it incredibly close and nearly missed my plane, and I wasn't going to do that this time. Miyagawa pointed me toward the Musashikosugi JR line and warned me that the ticket terminals there were confusing. He was right, too. I wasted ten minutes trying to figure them out before finally asking the station agent for help. If I'd just started there, I would've made an earlier train and not ended up sitting on a bench for forty minutes. So I ended my last train ride in Tokyo much as I began my first one: baffled by the system, reduced to pleading for help. I didn't mind, really. I'd just finished an excellent trip and was feeling great. (I also felt pretty good about blaming the computer and not myself, but that's another matter.)
Narita was fine. Great, even! The airline staff treated me like a king. I got moved to an aisle seat with nobody beside me! I killed time in the United lounge, had a few free beers, and transferred some movies to my iPad. In short order, we were aboard and headed home. The flight was only eleven hours, customs was quick, and soon (finally!) I was reunited with my family and off to Cracker Barrel for a "welcome back to America" dinner.
It was a great YAPC, and the most important thing I learned was the same as always: I'm there to talk to the people, not listen to the talks. I'll do better next time!

Read all about our world-class research in the WBS magazine
A community of students, graduates, academics, and professionals to help you develop throughout your career.
Active groups of students and alumni discussing contemporary issues in their field, and meeting up socially.
We have established two new streams of academic staff:
The Research Network on Marketing, Innovation and the Chinese and Emerging Economies (MICEE) is directed by its founder, Qing Wang, Professor of Marketing and Innovation.
It explores key issues at the interface of marketing and innovation, in the context of emerging and fast-growing economies like China, India, Brazil and Russia. It engages academics, businesses, and policymakers in the various activities from research idea generation, funding support, research dissemination to provision of advisory and consultancy services for companies and governments.
Technological innovations with strong market orientation are an important source of growth for firms and economies worldwide. Firms at the leading edge of innovation tend to dominate world markets and promote the international competitiveness of their home economy.
It is recognised that emerging and fast growing economies like China have so far relied mostly on their cost advantages and abundance of human resources, instead of sophisticated technological and marketing skills and capabilities. However, different emerging economies also have their unique strengths and weaknesses due to their specific historical, political and cultural characteristics. Even within a country, regional and cultural differences have to be understood if businesses can survive and prosper. Yet, most existing studies on firms' innovation and marketing capabilities have been conducted in the western context. Only limited studies have addressed innovation capabilities of firms in emerging economies such as China and India, which have played a pivotal role in the world economy. Even fewer studies have linked firms' technological capabilities with marketing capabilities to understand their impact on sustainable development of businesses in these countries and the sustainable economic growth of the countries they are based in.

A Stellar Blouse!
- Fit: True To Size
- Quality: 4.0
- Value: 5.0
The Blue/Black blouse is very classy. It looks fabulous dressy or casual. The only downside is that when the blouse is worn open at the neckline, the whiter side of the fabric is unwittingly exposed. Otherwise, the fit is excellent and very comfortable.. Thumbs up!

I did 'Narnia' because it was a good opportunity and all that, but really? I wanted to play Mr. Tumnus because he's my favourite children's character. That was awesome.
Basically, every character I've ever played, I've based entirely on internal conflict. And I love doing that, because I think it's very human.
I kind of embarked on a fruitless search to find information about my character, Frederick Aiken. And it was fruitless, unfortunately, because there's so little about him.
I also really liked playing Mr. Tumnus in 'Narnia'. I got to play my favorite character in children's literature, which I loved. You don't get the chance to do that in other jobs.
That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.

At Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, we are excited about the growing interest in home horticulture among Ector County residents!
To encourage the great local interest in environmental stewardship and home gardening, we offer a wide spectrum of literature and practical resources, host workshops and events throughout the Odessa area, and coordinate the Permian Basin Master Gardener volunteer program.
Ector County's Horticulture program holds free or low-cost public seminars on gardening and food preservation topics at various locations throughout the year. These interactive seminars help the public get more joy and productivity from their gardens, troubleshoot problems, and develop environmentally sensitive gardening techniques.
Seminars cover topics such as rainwater harvesting, vegetable gardening, lawn maintenance, tree care, native and adapted plants, food canning, propagating plants, and much more. More extensive, in-depth horticultural programs are also offered to individuals, viticulturists and green industry professionals. Many programs offer Continuing Education Units for private pesticide applicators and Texas Nursery & Landscape Association members.
Master Gardener volunteers are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers, and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people. What really sets Master Gardener volunteers apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, these AgriLife volunteers give back to the community, working under the direction of their Extension office, to provide horticultural-related information to their communities. Master Gardeners complete 60 hours of intensive training and a year-long internship in order to offer research-based horticultural information and advice to the West Texas community.

A lot of people have asked over the years how to clean up duplicates in their Ancestry Member Tree. If you are one of the people who discovered that your mysterious distant cousin Mary was really the same person as Uncle George's wife Mary, then you'll be happy to learn that we have a solution that makes it simple to merge two duplicate people without losing any of the relationships, facts, photos, or stories you've entered.
How does it work?
Select one of the duplicate people in your tree
Go to the person's overview or profile page and from the "More options" menu, select "Merge with duplicate."
Select the other duplicate person
On the left side of the page, you'll see the person you've already selected. On the right side of the page, you can select the person's duplicate in a few ways.
- Select a possible duplicate. We'll suggest people who might be duplicates (for example if they have the same first and last names and their birth years and birthplaces are similar).
- Type the person's name. If you know the duplicate's name, simply type it in the field and select the person from a list of individuals who match the name you've typed.
- Select from a list of people. You can browse a list of everyone in your tree and select the correct individual.
Select the facts you want to display
After you've chosen the duplicate individuals, they'll be displayed side-by-side so you can compare the two and choose which facts you want to display for the merged individual.
- If facts are identical. A same label shows which facts are the same; they'll be merged into one fact.
- If facts are different. Both facts will be included in the merge, but you can choose which fact is preferred (the default fact that displays). The other fact will be added as an alternate.
- If you're not sure what to do. You can click the Compare button to see more details about the two individuals.
Already, I've been able to clean up some of the messiness that existed in my own tree by using this new feature and hope it helps those of you who have been looking for a solution for merging duplicate people in your own tree.

Once I was watching french interiors on internet when saw those beautiful framed Trumeau mirrors. I had to get one, and started to look on ebay and some other pages. For sure I found not only one, but prices wasn't very friendly... Then I thought I can try to make one. I ordered everything I will need for less than 60£. It could be more than half cheaper, if I would have wood board and old mirror, but unfortunately I hadn't. Here is how plywood board looked like
It's 70x90 cm. I had to use some wood filler, as there were many dents.
Here you can see how it looked when I primed and fixed dents. I made a frame around mirror from wood moulding.
Sorry, I won't show you pictures of later steps, as it was evening and they are very bad quality.
But here is the result!
I can't hang it on the wall, because still waiting for heavy duty picture hanging hooks, so brought it outside, to take a photos.
Here are some close up.
This is resin aplique.
Thank you for visiting me today.

"O Lord! Unto Thee I repair for refuge, and toward all Thy signs I set my heart.
O Lord! Whether traveling or at home, and in my occupation or in my work, I place my whole trust in Thee.
Grant me then Thy sufficing help so as to make me independent of all things, O Thou Who art unsurpassed in Thy mercy!
Bestow upon me my portion, O Lord, as Thou pleasest, and cause me to be satisfied with whatsoever Thou hast ordained for me.
Thine is the absolute authority to command."
– The Bab

Just two nights after the Academy Awards, Oscar-winning actor and OMEGA International Ambassador Eddie Redmayne stepped out in L.A. to celebrate the release of the Globemaster Master Chronometer.
Redmayne, who was nominated this year for his role in The Danish Girl, joined OMEGA CEO & President Stephen Urquhart with a host of VIP guests and close friends of the brand at Mack Sennett Studios to launch the new timepiece.
Upon his arrival, Redmayne stopped to preview the new OMEGA Globemaster Annual Calendar timepiece, which was unveiled during the event. He also met with OMEGA VP and Head of Product Development, Mr. Jean-Claude Monachon, who demonstrated the effects of magnetism on analog timepieces, and the resistance of the anti-magnetism in the Master Chronometer.
During the presentation OMEGA President, Urquhart, introduced the British thespian as the newest international brand ambassador, stating that OMEGA takes their relationship with ambassadors seriously; having worked with Cindy Crawford for over 20 years, and George Clooney for over 10 years, he joked that Eddie "has a long way to go".
After the dinner, the actor and his expectant wife, Hannah Bagshawe, joined guests in the basement turned speakeasy bar for a performance by Chris Norton and his jazz band.
In addition to his navy Prada suit, Redmayne wore the Globstemaster Master Chronometer, which is set by the fiercely independent Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS)—the toughest in the industry—which are comprised of eight rigorous tests over 10 days. The Globemaster is the first OMEGA timepiece to emerge from this new testing.
During the event, Redmayne said of his relationship with the Swiss brand, "There's a romance to traditional watches—a history. There's something sincere and honest about them, a sort of integrity. I love OMEGA's legacy; watches for the Airforce, the first watch on the moon – it's about storytelling. OMEGA's history is unrivaled."
He also talked touched on how OMEGA's classic take on style eases his experience in the public eye, saying, "As actors, we attend many events, we are often on the red carpet; wearing something that's classic but also modern, gives me confidence. It's a wonderful thing, because I don't have to overthink it."
