When she is not homeschooling her two sweet kids (with a full pot of coffee at hand), Connilyn Cossette is scribbling notes on spare paper, mumbling about her imaginary friends, and reading obscure, our-ot-date history books. There is nothing she likes better than digging into the rich, ancient world of the Bible and uncovering buried gems of grace that point toward Jesus. Although a Pacific Northwest native, she now lives near Dallas, Texas.
Connect with Connilyn at www.connilyncossette.com.
You will also be blessed in following Conni's author page on Facebook.
Motherless and raised alongside her brothers, Alanah, a Canaanite, is no stranger to fighting. When her father and brothers are killed in battle with the Hebrews, she disguises herself and sneaks onto the battlefield to avenge her family. The one thing she never counted on was surviving.
Tobiah, a Hebrew warrior, has spent his share of time on the battlefield and is shocked to find an unconscious woman among the casualties. Compelled to bring her to a healer back at the Hebrew camp, he's unprepared for the consequences of what he intended as an act of compassion.
In order to survive, Alanah must unite with her enemy. But will a terrible revelation drive her toward an even greater danger?
My Thoughts:
Wings of the Wind is the third and final book in Connilyn Cossette's Out From Egypt series. The previous two books were:
I am really sad to see this series come to an end. Cossette, in this debut series, has earned a spot at the top of the Biblical Fiction genre and on my "keeper shelf". She has a gift for melding historical research, biblical accuracy, and artistic license that points to Jesus. In Wings of the Wind, readers get to meet again characters from the first two books in the series.
I appreciate how Cossette writes vivid characters. I certainly was drawn in by Alanah's strength and her vulnerability, but Tobiah absolutely was swoon worthy! However, what really drew me to Tobiah was the picture of Christ that is found in his characterization...his rescue of Alanah and his love for her that transforms her.
Cossette's writing clearly points to God as the Sovereign and Almighty:
"We do not serve false gods who live on top of mountains. We serve the God who made the mountains. We serve the God who rescued us from Egypt with the very unraveling of the Creation he began. We serve the God who built the foundations of the earth with a mere word."Cossette brings alive the story of the battle of Jericho with striking description and throws in a little twist that you won't see coming but is absolutely brilliant. While I'm sorry this series has come to an end, I'm extremely hopeful and excited to see what comes next from Cossette's pen. Word on the street is that her next novel will pick up seven years or so after the battle of Jericho. Stay tuned. You won't want to miss a stroke of this writer's pen!
*I received a complimentary copy of the book. All opinions are my own.
Happy Reading Ya'll,

I used to belong to the local gym, and I used to go every workday morning. It was a great start to the day. I would lift weights, and ride the exercise bike and swim and then have a hot tub and shower and get ready for work. I had friends at the gym who would share their lives with me, and I would share my life with them. Then we moved out to the country and the gym was really inconvenient to get to, and I was really busy, so I stopped going. I am not in the least bit surprised that my weight went up and my fitness went down. I used to be a gym rat, but not anymore, and frankly when you don't go, you stop reaping the benefits.
|Once…I was this fit. Not so much any more!
Dog training is like this. Coming to puppy school when your dogs are really young has become the norm, and we think this is terrific. In puppy class we teach people about recognizing when their dogs might be overwhelmed, when play is getting too rough and how to introduce your puppy to the family. We teach older puppies how to sit, lie down, come when called and stay out of the trash. Almost everyone in class meets someone who has a puppy who is a good play match for their dog, and they continue to stay connected with one another throughout their dog's lives.
All too often though, we have families who tell us that they are "taking a break" from classes and training, and periodically we get a client who returns to us when their puppy has grown up into a four year old Dennis the Menace. Bad habits creep up, and the family works around them. The problems aren't addressed, and then suddenly they are overwhelming. Maybe the dog has learned that coming when called is an optional behaviour that results in driving away from the dog park. Quite often the behaviour that brings people back to class is a dog who is pulling on leash. Hard. Every day. Quite often the client will say to me "but we went to puppy class".
Puppy class is a great foundation. I really, sincerely do believe that every puppy deserves puppy class and I believe this so strongly that I am giving puppy classes away for free. If you do nothing else with your puppy, come to class before he is 12 weeks of age. Never the less, if you come to puppy class before twelve weeks, and you never come back, don't be surprised if your dog's skills and socialization decay and aren't reliable.
|This pup is learning that being caught by a child is a safe thing! This is one of the foundation skills that pups learn in puppy class, but you have to keep practicing in order to maintain the skills.
Building skills to begin with is like going to the gym. When I first went to the gym, I didn't have any skills. I started out by doing weightlifting that started out small and built up. I started out lifting small weights, and built up to my top lifts of 200 lbs. I started out with short light aerobic work outs on the stationary bike and the eliptical machines. Each day I did similar routines that carefully built up my fitness. Each week the routines became more challenging and helped to increase my fitness level. I became stronger and more aerobically fit. Sadly, I have taken a break and I am not where I was at my peak of fitness.
If I wanted to get back into weight lifting and get back to my best ever bench press of 200 lbs, then I would need to establish a base line. What is the most I can lift now? I would bet that with my current tennis elbow and terribly out of shape body, that I would probably be able to lift somewhere between 60 and 70 lbs. That is a far cry from what I could lift when I was working out with weights every day! 60 to 70 lbs being my baseline, I would work out with weights that are less than that to build strength. I might lift 4 sets of ten reps of 40 lbs for a week, and then move up to that work out with 45 lbs. In dog training, when you have taken time off, you need to figure out what your dog's baseline is when you start back at class and then work up from there. There is no point in starting at your dog's best performance; that is not where he is.
If I had kept going to the gym instead of stopping and starting over the years, I might have exceeded my heaviest lift ever instead of getting flabby and out of shape. Things got in the way though, and my priorities shifted. I know this happens with our puppies too. When it happens though, we cannot be surprised when skills decay.
Not only do skills decay if you don't practice, but so can socialization. Socialization is the process of carefully exposing a puppy to everyone and everything he will encounter as an adult. If you do this diligently, and then keep your dog in the backyard for the next four years, he will no longer be confident about the things that he encounters as he passes through life. Thus it is important to take advantage of the early window of time to start socialization, but throughout your dog's life, you need to continue to keep him socialized. A large gap between initial socialization and ongoing socialization can create a problem where the dog is no longer confident about stimuli that he may once have been very tolerant about. If your dog has had a gap in exposure to the environment either due to illness or the vagaries of our busy lives, he may develop the kinds of problems we hope to avoid by doing socialization activities in the first place.
When we start training with puppies, we are not surprised that they don't know much and we work at the easy things such as restraining yourself against snatching treats, and work up to the more complicated things like leash manners and coming away from play or food. When I am passing my students on their various obedience skills I often point out to them key exercises that they should practice throughout their dog's lives. Some of the exercises that we do with the dogs form the foundations for other exercises and again there are similarities to exercising at the gym. I think of these exercises as the warm up stretches that we do before we work out. If you have been to class but now you cannot return for whatever reason, then you can maintain your dog's skills by practicing some of the simple skills that you worked on early in your dog's career. If you can do this, then taking a break from classes is not going to ruin the work you have done. I am stronger now than I was when I got my horse a year ago because I began lifting heavy feed bags and hay and other items involved in caring for my horses. I am not as strong as I was when I worked out every day, but I am stronger than I was.
|This chocolate Newfoundlander practices his down stay in the presence of treats in our Levels Class. Continuing classes through adulthood keeps skills sharp and helps you to develop new skills as you go along!
I may go back to the gym at some point, but for right now, I exercise by caring for and riding my horse. My dogs come to classes regularly and we practice regularly both at home and in class. When I get my next pup, he will go to classes three to five times a week until he is about a year. At that point, I will likely ease up and go only once or twice a week to develop skills for competition or sport. My dogs go to classes for their whole lives, because I like the benefits of continuing classes over the long term; like the gym, classes yield benefits in other parts of my life. Not only do I have dogs who have current skills but I also have fun at class. There are people I see regularly who I enjoy talking with, and sharing experiences with. Come to think of it, I am missing the community I built at the gym. It might just be time to go back.

National Teacher Appreciation Day on May 3 was a nice reminder of the many individuals who generously shared their wisdom and knowledge with me. One gentleman in particular comes to mind. In charge of my high school Advanced Placement English class, Dr. Graham taught his students about the ups and downs of creative writing. Under his guidance, we had opportunities to stretch our talents as authors, poets and playwrights without the kind of reprisal that might discourage beginners. His feedback was always positive even when it was negative. I realize that now even though I did not always appreciate his candor back then.
Still, he must have seen some promise in my abilities. Otherwise, why pull me aside after class one day to rebuke me for his perception that I was not trying harder? We had just viewed (and then discussed) a video about James Dickey and his almost ruthless commitment to tweaking and rewriting Deliverance. As I recall, Dr. Graham felt that I could only be a great writer if I promised to fully dedicate myself to the process.
Jump ahead several decades and most of my colleagues will describe me as highly disciplined, goal-oriented and extremely motivated to achieve. Nevertheless, I revisit Dr. Graham's words often and mentally thank him for the message. I would love to tell him in person but do not know how to reach him. I was told that he left teaching to become a real estate broker.
He's right that discipline is hugely important in terms of meeting deadlines, letting go of ego long enough to know when something needs improvement and being motivated enough to get started in the first place. He helped his students develop self-awareness about the ongoing pains and joys of the creative process and gifted us with the promise that each new word is a wellspring to something good. To Dr. Graham and other teachers who have inspired and led, many thanks and keep up the great work!

The availability of an online streaming site on the internet makes it very easy for us to watch movies. You can choose from the thousands of movies in its library that will make you laugh, cry or scream. However, to fully enjoy your movie watching, here are some of the things that you must have at your side:
Movie List to Watch
You should include at least 10-20 movies on your list that you would want to watch on an online streaming site. This will enable you to save some time when choosing the movie to watch. To have an idea of what good movie to watch, you can try reading different movie reviews or asking some of your friends or relatives.
Fast and Stable Internet Connection
In order to avoid frustration, it would be better to have a fast and stable internet connection at your place. This will remove any buffering time that might occur making your movie watching smooth and continuous.
Appropriate and Up-to-Date Plug-in Player
All online streaming site requires that your plug-in player such as flash player are up to date and not obsolete. This is needed in order for the picture in the movie to have a clear and good quality image. It is also important so that the audio is understandable enough.
Have a Good Sound System
Having a good sound system at your place will greatly enhance the quality of the sound that you will be hearing from full movies. This will give you a memorable and pleasurable experience while watching movies. If you have no idea what is the best speaker for your place, then you can try asking for professional help.
Dark Environment
If you wanted to have a cinematic experience at your home while watching movies, then turning off the lights is one of the things that you can do. You can also put some curtains on your window to prevent any light from the outside to enter your place.
Choose the Best Snacks
Movie watching on an online streaming site at your home will not be complete if there is no food beside you. Finger foods such as popcorn, candy, and chips are some of the options that you can choose from. You can also opt for bottled drinks to prevent any spillage while watching movies.


text: AlbertEinstein Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) The "Disk Layout Editor" shows the incorrect ICONs for the related files. For example, I have mostly .ISO image files in a project and their corresponding .SHA1 files. The .ISO files show a Steam ICON and the .SHA1 files show a "Sims 2" ICON. Both of these are related to gaming. I'm not sure if that matters or it's just by coincidence. Also, more generally, I am wondering if a new version of ImgBurn would be released anytime in the near future that fixes some persistent bugs like these. It looks like it's been 5 years since the last release. It seems like an awfully long time to go to between releases. Features aside, there has to be more than a few bugs that could be done away with in a new maintenance release. Thanks for reading! ***EDIT***: I did exit out of ImgBurn all together. Then I re-launched ImgBurn and reloaded my "Most Recent Project". This fixed the improper ICON associations for the time being. So, this must be something that happens dynamically when certain steps are taken in alignment with the stars.

Yep, found another integration with BIP. I get asked about Oracle Policy Automation quite a lot; I do not profess to know much; enough to be dangerous I guess. However, I was not aware that they had been working with BIP to help automate the generation of documents from the system.
For the uninitiated, here's the blurb care of :
Oracle Policy Modeling is a Windows desktop application for
transforming legislation and policy documents into executable business
rules. Rules are written in Word and Excel documents using phrases in
languages such as English, Chinese and French. These rule documents can be shared amongst business and information technology stakeholders, and commentary can be added into the documents without
affecting the structure of the rules themselves. Other features of Oracle Policy Modeling include integrated test case execution and debugging capabilities, and the definition of interviews for interactive
rule-based assessments. Interview screen order and branching logic can be defined using visual flow diagrams.
In other words, a cool piece of technology, but tell us Tim how is it used? Well, it has been publicly deployed within several government web-sites. Australia's Department of Immigration uses
it for visitors to check their eligibility for visas. The UK uses it for their Employment Status Indicator assessment tool, the UK governments online portal for businesses also uses OPA for over 60 interactive tools while the United States uses the software for guidance on tax law. The last one might be pertinent for me this weekend as W-2s have arrived and I have a night of misery trying to get a refund.
How does BIP fit in? Pictures are worth a thousands words and Fiona from the development team down under has recorded a great YouTube session explaining the integration and how to take advantage of it. I know I'm becoming more American cos I found it a little hard to place her accent at first, not to be rude Fiona but was it Brit, Aussie or maybe New Zealand? I plumped for Aussie, 10 points to me ... phew!
Direct link to the OPA YouTube channel - some other great vids on use cases and features.
You can find the OPA Homepage here lots of info on the tool and its possible applications.
Awesome. 10 points! :-)
Awesome! 10 points to you Sir :-)

PARIS (Reuters) - French President Nicolas Sarkozy pledged on Friday to press ahead with his economic reform plans after transport workers decided to end a nine-day strike that has been the toughest test yet of his presidency.
The number of trains on the national rail system and the Paris underground approached near-normal levels for the first time since the dispute started on November 13, although a full service was not expected until the weekend.
"I have no intention to stop the reform movement, no intention to slow it down, no intention to forget my promises," Sarkozy said. "I made commitments. They will be kept."
Allies of Sarkozy hailed the end of the stoppages, which the government has said cost the economy up to 400 million euros ($593 million) a day, as a success for him.
But hardline unions said they would strike again in December if they failed to win satisfaction in the negotiations.
However, the fact that unions have agreed to discuss scrapping special pension privileges in the transport and energy sectors was a first, and in stark contrast to 1995 when a previous reform was withdrawn following a massive strike.
Sarkozy has kept an uncharacteristically low profile during the standoff, his first major test since his election in May, and conservatives said he handled the issue deftly.
"The success of the Sarkozy method," right-wing daily Le Figaro, which typically backs the president, said in a headline.
Even former prime minister Dominique de Villepin, a critic of Sarkozy's despite being a fellow conservative, praised the head of state, who has staked his reputation on the reform.
"The expressed concern of not politicizing, not seeking to ensure that there is a winner and a loser, is the right strategy in social matters," Villepin told France 2 television.
Sarkozy has refused to back down on the main element of his reform — ending early retirement rights for most of the workers who enjoy this privilege and index-linking their pensions to inflation rather than salaries.
However, he has indicated he is ready to make concessions in other areas, such as pay, and the French media have reported that an eventual deal might cost the SNCF railways alone 100 million euros ($150 million) a year in salary hikes and perks.
One rail worker was handed a suspended four-month sentence on Friday and ordered to pay compensation for breaking the window of a shunting station on Wednesday. The SNCF also said it had filed suit over 40 cases of sabotage during the strike.
Public opinion has been firmly on the government's side in the dispute, but widespread worries over the cost of living have put pressure on it to stop the dispute escalating.
Sarkozy said he would address the public's economic concerns after returning from a trip to China next week.
"People have expressed anxieties and expectations over purchasing power and employment over the past few weeks," he said. "I will tell the French what the government's action in the next months will be."
The SNCF said it expected high-speed TGV rail links between Paris and other cities to run normally on Friday, while two out of three regional train services would be operating.
The Paris transport RATP network said 80 percent of its buses and trams were running, a marked improvement on recent days, and 11 out of 14 metro lines were functioning normally.

Captain America: Civil War
Justice Served
There's nothing else, and there never has been, anything quite like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since Iron Man's release in 2008, audiences have spent 8 years watching a wide cast of heroes and villains duke it out for the fate of the world, and a bunch of other worlds too. Captain America: Civil War is a culmination of that universe Marvel has meticulously built. After 8 years, Civil War delivers a turning point for the interconnected universe we didn't know we spent almost a decade waiting for.
There's a lot going on in this movie. It's simultaneously a sequel to Winter Soldier, Age of Ultron, and, arguably, Iron Man 3. It's also an origin story for two new (well, 'new') heroes. It introduces a story arc that will most likely impact Marvel movies for at least the next few years. Each of its 10(!) returning heroes get much-needed character development and time to shine in combat. Yes, there's a ton of stuff going on, and for the first 30 minutes or so, it seems the movie's extensive scope might throw it off the rails. But when everything pulls together not too long into the movie, audiences will enjoy what is probably one of the best comic book superhero movies ever created. Beyond that, returning fans will also see 8 years' worth of universe-building finally come into fruition.
The movie is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, who also directed Winter Soldier. It stars a bunch of familiar actors who you hopefully don't need me to list out. Captain America (played by the guy you know plays Captain America) is leading a team of new Avengers that is being scrutinized as too dangerous by the government after the world-threatening events of Age of Ultron (and basically every other Marvel movie before that too). Iron Man (played by Blank Blankity-Blank Jr.) agrees with the government, feeling that all heroes should register as government property and act only when they are commanded for safety reasons.
Cap, ever the idealist, believes that registering will compromise the Avengers. It doesn't help that his longtime pal Bucky Barnes/the Winter Soldier (okay, I'll give you this one, played by Sebastian Stan) is sighted causing trouble all over the world. Neither hero is wrong; we've been following them through enough films to understand both of their ideals, and Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. completely convince in their roles. That's why the subsequent battles hit so close to home.
The action scenes, while less frequent than one might expect, improve upon the high standard set by Winter Soldier. The Russo brothers have the ability to give each punch and explosion weight that grounds every action in impressive realism. This is especially effective when we finally see all the characters' powers and abilities duking it out in a 6 v. 6 brawl in the film's second act. Taking place in an abandoned airport, the sequence gives each hero a moment to shine and showcase their abilities while fighting each other for the first time, making the end result both emotional and ridiculously entertaining.
While all the returning heroes prove their worth (especially Paul Rudd's Ant-Man, who has been recently inducted into the Avengers with a few new tricks up his sleeve), the movie's newbies prove their worth. First up is Chadwick Boseman as the Black Panther, the king of a fictional country called Wakanda who fights like a ninja and runs around dressed as a cat. Don't let that description fool you – Black Panther provides some of the film's coolest action and most intense moments. Boseman plays him with physical and emotional intensity – audiences will both cheer for him, and be slightly frightened of him.
For the third time this decade, Spider-Man is back in action. Tom Holland, who was 18 when Civil War filmed, is the youngest Spider-Man we've seen. The actor channels Spidey's iconic banter faster than his web slings, and Holland stays faithful to the dorky Peter Parker of the comics. His introduction does come without warning and serves purely to bolster ticket sales – but when we have a hero as entertaining as his previous film counterparts, it's hard to not enjoy him.
The Russo's are smart enough to get the big action out of the way early to make room for a more intimate climax that involves only a few of our iconic heroes. While the acting is solid across the board, Evans delivers his best turn as Captain America, but Downey Jr. anchors the emotion of the film. Neither of their characters is wrong, so seeing the two battle it out at the film's end all the more heart-wrenching. There's not just action to watch here – the stakes amongst the characters are the highest they've ever been.
Civil War is both a culmination and a turning point in an already-established universe. Yes, it has its flaws – the overwhelming story lines seem disjointed at first, and some of the action scenes in the beginning are filmed too frantically to be able to easily follow. Despite that, this is Marvel's best film yet by a long shot. This isn't a typical superhero sequel; this is a movie that will set the standard for all superhero movies to come.

This month marks two years since Canadian aircraft flew their first missions in the skies over Iraq as part of the international coalition fighting ISIS.
Since then, Canada's mission has changed significantly, re-profiling from an airstrike mission to one with troops on the ground advising and assisting Kurds on the front lines of the fight. The Kurds have scored repeated victories over the past year, retaking the strategic cities of Sinjar, Fallujah and Ramadi and freeing multiple villages and towns in and around Mosul. But as the battle for Iraq's second largest city looms closer, the questions are beginning to shift to focus on what comes next.
In the days, weeks and months that will follow the militants ousting from the city, experts say coalition forces will be faced with a new foe — an "ISIS 2.0" — and as a result will need to realign their strategies to root out the beginnings of an insurgency before it festers into the broader Sunni population.
"In the next month, year, as Mosul is retaken and ISIS goes back into an asymmetric insurgency, they're going to be seeing more suicide attacks, more blending back into the population, back into their strongholds in Anbar province," said Nicholas A. Glavin, a terrorism and insurgency researcher at the U.S. Naval War College. "This is almost coming full circle to what it was almost 10 years ago now."
After its lightning blitz across broad swaths of Iraq and Syria in 2014, ISIS became recognized as a new brand of terrorist organization: one that offered a radical departure from al Qaeda with its focus on controlling physical territory and particular blend of barbarism and slick digital savvy.
It became in a sense the upstart in the midst of an increasingly bland menu of traditional jihadist groups, and its ability to offer a physical manifestation of a so-called caliphate helped it lure fighters to its territory and online adherents around the world.
After a string of losses and facing the loss of its largest city, ISIS stands on the verge of losing one of its key claims for differentiating itself from al Qaeda and other jihadist groups.
As it devolves into an insurgency, hiding among local populations and forced to wage guerrilla warfare, harnessing the support of disenfranchised Sunnis will be critical to continued success.
If that all sounds a bit too familiar, that's because it is: the U.S. tried to fight that same battle for years during its occupation of Iraq and quickly realized that without the support of local populations ready to put their faith in a fledgling new political system, all their efforts would come to naught.
But with Iraqi politics currently in upheaval — the country recently ousted its defence, finance and interior ministers and has yet to appoint successors to those critical portfolios — the question becomes whether coalition members and Iraqi leaders themselves can learn the lessons of the past and douse the country's simmering sectarian tensions.
"It's important not just to focus this on IS itself," said Thomas Juneau, a researcher at the University of Ottawa who studies Middle Eastern politics and a former Middle East analyst for the Department of National Defence. "IS is not the source of the problem now. IS is a symptom of completely broken politics in Iraq and the coalition now understands that even if you defeat IS militarily and you wipe it out…you won't have solved any problems. The problem is fundamentally the massive level of Sunni disenfranchisement in western Iraq."
Lt.-Gen. Stephen Bowes, commander of Canadian Joint Operations Command, touched on those challenges Thursday during a technical briefing with reporters on Operation Impact.
Bowes, along with Brig.-Gen. Peter Dawe, stressed the need to bring a nuanced eye to the challenges that lie ahead and recognize that, as the fight evolves, the needs and requirements on the ground will change as well.
"There's a tremendous complexity to what is going on on the ground," Bowes said. "There is a complexity that is difficult for us in the West to analyze in a way that allows us to predict how this will unfold because it isn't jut about some of the major blocs you would traditionally write about: Kurdish, Shia, Sunni. It's also within segments. There's a dynamic within the Kurds, there's a dynamic within Sunni communities, and it breaks into many fragments."
What will be needed to fight ISIS as it fragments into the civilian population is a willingness to support the stabilization of Iraqi politics and the ability to get local Sunnis onside before ISIS can win them over.
That approach proved successful in 2006 during what became known as the Anbar Awakening.
Thirty Sunni tribes in the province came together to fight al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), the group ISIS was born out of that process before breaking ties with al Qaeda and setting off on its own.
Broadly speaking, the militants' increasingly fanatical interpretation of Islam and their violent application of their ideology proved to be a bigger problem for the Sunni tribes than their shared opposition to the government's Shia-led political agenda and the tribes allied with U.S. and local forces to oust the militants from the region.
"Unless those [grievances] are addressed, we're going to be seeing an ISIS 2.0 come on front," said Glavin. "What I fear is that we're going to put a temporary fix on whether it's capturing Mosul or the remainder of ISIS-held territory but like I said, the grievances are still going to remain and those can only be addressed by the Iraqi Parliament."
Juneau echoed similar thoughts, saying the difficulty now for Canada will be planning where it fits into the battle for hearts and minds that will be key to minimizing the militants' ability to regroup after it loses Mosul.
It's not clear at this point what comes next for Canada but with the country's advise and assist mission up for re-evaluation in March 2017, Canadian leaders will likely need to reshape its contribution to reflect the post-Mosul environment.
"Resistance, whether passive or active, will continue,"Juneau said. "That's where, from a Canadian perspective, this gets really difficult because how do we fit into this continued tension between Sunni Arab people there, IS and non IS members, and the Iraqi government?"

sneak peek: gregory beauchamp
Gregory Beauchamp likes to say that his home in Venice Beach, California, is a stone's throw from the ocean — but only if you have a good arm. With his penchant for oranges, reds and browns, Gregory likes to channel a sort of city version of 1970s off-the-grid living, but where the hippies would have had a timber bookshelf and a well, he has a Milo Baughman credenza and a water heater. Gregory works as an advertising design director and started a creative consultancy called Granite Pass. (Last year he won an Emmy for his work as executive producer for the documentary Art&Copy.) He now splits his time between the communications world and making art, which his sells on Etsy. But in both spheres, and even in decorating his home, he works to strip things down until they become as simple as possible because the simpler you can make something, the more universal it becomes. He believes that creativity can solve anything and that we all want the same things — for tomorrow to be better than today — and today is pretty great. Thanks, Gregory! — Amy Azzarito
Image above: The Milo Baughman credenza is the first piece of "grown-up" furniture I ever bought. It was found at a mid-century shop on Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice called Surfing Cowboys. The large door on the lower left opens up from the bottom and slides into place. It's a wonderful hiding spot for strange things. The framed art is a piece I made called "FOOD" (the shadows of the animals spell "Do Not Feed the Animals the Animals"). I fell in love with the pottery sculptures when I visited the studio of Larry Carnes, an amazing artist in Ojai, CA. They're called Kiln Gods and have a wonderful innocence and mythology to them. The vintage rug was one of those "needle-in-a-haystack" moments from a neighborhood garage sale. It's giant and beautifully covers the carpeting, which, if you rent, can sometimes become an albatross.
Image above: The Knoll chair, upholstered in the original fabric, was an eBay find and still bares the sticker that says "University of California" from when it once sat in the library in Santa Barbara. The pillow is double-sided with a bird on one side and a smiling happy person on the other and was discovered at the Santa Monica Airport Flea Market. The built-in bookshelf is home to my favorite book, Kerouac's Dharma Bums.
See more of Gregory's Venice home after the jump . . .
Image above: This is my office. The 7-foot folding farm table and braided rug were purchased at a local antique mall. I chose not to refinish the table because I love the 100 years of wear and tear. The chair was found after a year-long search ending at French 50s/60s in Culver City. I got it for a steal since I bought it "as-is" before it could be reupholstered. The macrame seat cover was still intact when I brought it home.
Image above: The bed sits in a converted day porch with a wall of windows looking down on the street. Although the entire room is not much larger than the bed itself, it's my favorite room in the house.
Image above: I've had this dresser since I shared a room with my brother growing up. It came in a set with bunk beds. I remember climbing the handles like they were rungs on a ladder. The large painting was a gift from a Venice back alley.
Image above: Seventeen years ago when I lived in Portland, OR, I bought the oil and charcoal drawing off the walls of my favorite coffee shop. It's by an artist named Chad Crouch, whom I'm happy to call a friend. It was my first piece of framed art and depicts a dinner scene where the thoughts of each participant are painted on their body . . . "yes," "no," "yum," "duh" and "mouse." I like to think of it as a version of The Last Supper. I keep my blankets handy since old Venice buildings tend to have a draft. I'm always on the lookout for a vintage Pendleton or hand-knit. All of them and the desert painting are from local flea markets. The '60s handmade bench is another "haystack needle" find from a garage sale found on a morning stroll.
Image above: I made this bird sculpture out of newspaper, tape, polyurethane and shredded junk mail and tax receipts. It was originally created as a drawing model.
Image above: I've found that the secret to ferns is to water them on Sundays and Wednesdays. The bookcase was made from two vintage wooden crates and a cut-up towel rack from Home Depot. It's surprisingly sturdy, sits next to my desk and holds books on a few of my idols of design.
Image above: Somehow my favorite rug ended up in the bathroom, but I love the way it warms it up the space. The Pendleton towel and L.L. Bean slippers were gifts from my girl. Another Larry Carnes sculpture stands next to a thrift-store pottery vase filled with local wildflowers.
Image above: The entire breakfast area cost $35. The 1930s antique folding chairs from the American Seating Company were hand-me-downs from my brother's college years. The Formica table was another gift from a Venice alley, and the Danish teak bowl and rug were found at a rural antique mall on a winter trip back to Oregon. Note: If you get a chance to walk through an antique store with your parents, you'll hear a lot of wonderful stories provoked by the vintage objects.
Image above: The carved face was made by my father. What makes it so special is that he grew up in a very Catholic household, but he spent his adult years exploring alternative belief structures that were far away from the traditional religions. After he was diagnosed with cancer in 1995, this was the last thing he ever carved before he passed.
Image above: This bear hangs out in the living room on a Tivoli stereo. My father sculpted it from a single block of wood in 1985 as a birthday gift for me. It took him a year of nights and weekends to complete. The painting above it was found in a thrift store and depicts a little kid holding a bottle of soda (here you can see his legs in shorts and the bottom of the bottle). On the back, in pen, it says: "Natalie Wilson 1975. Pepsi Generation."
Image above: This is the bookshelf in the office. Over the years there were many different types of cases holding the books before I figured out how to make my own "built-in." The hardest part of the project was getting the 4″ x 12″ x 12′ side pieces of pine home. It's 10 feet tall and 4.5 feet wide (the photo shows only half the width). It's also my first experience using a router, which I used to notch the slots in the sides. The complete project of cutting, painting, staining and constructing took about a week. It's full of design and art books and is kept color-coordinated to keep it clean.

A World of Ideas: Writers Review
Over the next few weeks, I plan to, of course, write whatever spurs me on to write, as well as more Henderson Press posts. With there now being a firm time that we'll move, I want to read the rest of the issues of Henderson Press, up to the latest, whenever that might be, and I'm also going to start shrinking my Las Vegas books stack in my room. I've started with Super Casino: Inside the "New" Las Vegas by Pete Earley, and I'm thinking of reading The Desert Rose by Larry McMurtry next. I have a combination of novels and nonfiction books, all about Las Vegas. This will serve as a transition to ransacking the Nevada history sections of my local libraries after I become a Henderson resident. I will learn what there is in these books, and then I want to know everything else, everything from the beginning of Nevada. I'm gradually doing the same for New Mexico, for my trips in the years to come, but Nevada takes priority, especially Henderson and Las Vegas.
2 comments:
Rory! Does your interest include gambling/casinos in general, or does it stay on Vegas only? I read an article yesterday that might intrigue you, or it might not. It deals with a blackjack player who won millions from Atlantic City casinos just by knowing not only how to play the game well, but how to work the casino comps/perks, etc. Lemme see if the link will work: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/04/the-man-who-broke-atlantic-city/8900/2/?single_page=trueReplyDelete
If not, sorry.
By the way, I'd love it if you'd link to each of your DVD reviews - I'm not sure I'd be able to track them all down by myself...
My interest in gambling and casinos is limited to Southern Nevada, but I've been reading a bit about Atlantic City by way of Super Casino: Inside the "New" Las Vegas by Pete Earley, since Steve Wynn spent some time running a casino there before he created the Mirage in Las Vegas. And when casinos started up in Atlantic City, they initially took a huge chunk of profits away from Las Vegas since east coast Vegas visitors didn't have to go far to find a casino. The link worked, and I'll read it after finishing this comment.ReplyDelete
Also, I'll have an entry up in a few minutes listing my DVD reviews so far.

Kalleshwara temple is one of the major popular temples in Aralaguppe and was built by Nolambas style of the 9th century A.D. It represents the architectural features in which the Nolamba craftsmen show a high order of excellence and that warrant inclusion in an art historical account.
Kalleswara temple was dedicated to Lord Shiva and there is huge Lingam in the Sanctum. The Kalleshwara temple has two attractions which are worth many a visit -The extraordinary ceiling intricately carved and the sculpture of Umamaheshwara.
While the Adhishtana is made of granites, the temple's walls and towers are constructed with bricks may be a later day addition. There is an idol of Nandi in front of the main Deity of dark granite, 6 ft. in length and 4ft.in height is at the entrance.
The wall at a number of places has been ornamented by carved human figures. Its Mukhamantapa ceiling is considered the most beautiful sculpture found in the State which is something to be seen to be believed. It�s amazing but proved difficult to capture of the nine panels on the ceiling it has in Nolambas style portrayal of wonderful dancing Shiva (Tandaveswara) sculpture with musical accompanists and eight Dikpalas surrounding him depicted with their paraphernalia and vehicles.
Another unique feature of this ceiling is the flying Vidyadharas (Gandharvas), Four, with garlands in their hands at each corner of the panel. These garland-bearing Vidyadharas are quite common to Nolamba architecture; a clear evidence of the elegance and comprehensiveness of their style. The Nataraja (Tandaveswara) meanwhile, is a remarkable three-dimensional image, wearing jewels such as the Katibandana and tassels. The dancing lord is accompanied by three Bhutas playing a three-headed percussion instrument. They are also seen with Ayut and other symbols.
The northern and eastern lateral shrines contain idols of Keshava and Surya, while the southern one contains the Umasahita mounted over a large stele with a lotus pedestal and a Prabhavali with a couple of flying Vidyadharas. The extraordinary ceiling of the mukhamantapa, with the Nolambas style portrayal of Umamaheshwara at Consisting of garbagriha, antarala, and a mukhamantapa, the temple's sanctum sanctorum is adorned with a huge black-granite Shivalinga.
The outer walls are insipid without projections and recesses, but for the lone niche at the antarala that divides the Vimana from the Mukhamantapa. Pilasters built closer at the temple's interiors however, appears more refreshing.
There is also a small temple in the main temple complex which dedicated to Lord Uma Maheshwara and two more temples dedicated to the Ganapathi and Subramanya. The image of Gajalakshmi on the doorway adds charm to the place. This temple maintained by modern style but not in a systematic way.

Hawking Radiation and Black Hole Thermodynamics
I don't understand the logic behind this concept.
Can somebody here make this concept simple to aid my acceptance of it.
All particles have positive energy. Both the electron and the positron have an energy of 512KeV. At particle pair creation or annihilation of an electron/positron pair, positive energy of 1.24KeV is required. When a black hole radiates an electron through Hawking radiation, it absorbs a positron that has positive energy. The accepted theory says that the black hole absorbs a particle that has negative energy which reduces its mass. Herein lies my confusion. Is negative energy and positive energy the same thing: identical, or does some process change negative energy into positive energy?
I think that the issue that confuses me can be found here
When particles are produced in LENR through Hawking radiation, there is no time issues caused by extreme gravity effects involved and all particle energies are positive.

I admit to being less than dazzled by Hillside Farmacy the first time I ate there, but a follow-up visit about a month later really won me over. Fresh seafood? Yes, please.
The cost of a cocktail is a bit on the pricey side, and the same goes for mimosas. If you have to have a drink with your breakfast (I know I do!) I think the carafe is the most affordable way to go. The orange juice is super pulpy, which I view as a mega-plus.
The croque monsieur (shown above) was a big hit with my partner. He had a pretty bad experience with a grilled cheese-like sandwich, the "dough well done," on our first visit so I'd steer clear of that one.
The smoked salmon was a hit with both of us, except for the cole slaw, which is a matter of personal preference. I HATE COLE SLAW!
As pretty as those boiled shrimp look, they weren't really worth it. Don't get me wrong, they taste fine. I just can't justify what you get for the cost on that one. It's extremely plain, but maybe you'll be into it; who knows?
As adorable as the food and space are at this hip, little gem… I must confess that the seating is extremely uncomfortable and tables are painfully small.
Pro-tip: They have half-off all oysters every Monday!
All in all, do I like Hillside? I love it! Grab that citrusy delicious crab salad and a carafe, and go have brunch!

Last Friday, the 14th, my sweet Cameron turned SIX! Ack--where are the years going?
He started the day with his favorite breakfast--zucchini bread!
All lit up, extra-special style, of course.
After Colin and I sang Happy Birthday, he blew out his candles and made his wish.
Sweet baby! You can tell he hasn't quite woken up;
my bright-eyed boy isn't quite so bright-eyed yet!
Love these two. :)
About an hour after I took Cam to school, Ethan, Lola and I
returned for snack time with birthday cupcakes!
{Because what 6-year-old doesn't need sugar at 9:30 in the morning?}
Cameron had a birthday crown and was so excited to see us!
I loved the look on his face when Mrs. W. instructed him to climb on his chair,
so the class could sing him the Happy Birthday song!
He was so cute--but embarrassed!
He looked down the whole time. For such a funny, outgoing kid--he sure has a shy side!
The cupcakes....
....were a raging success!
Ethan and Lola made themselves right at home in the classroom!
We actually got to stay at the school for a while, and be a part of fire safety day!
The kiddos were attentive and sat very well....
...and they learned several things about fire safety, including what to do if a pot caught fire....
....or what to do if you were sleeping in your bedroom and smoke started pouring in from the door!
You guessed it--go OUT the WINDOW!
The little Miss even earned her honorary fire badge.
I just crack up when I look at this picture--with Lola and Ethan, right in the midst of all the 'big kids'--but it makes me so grateful too. My children go to *the* most wonderful school. So warm and welcoming,
with friendly staff and teachers who want nothing but the best for the children.
I always leave there feeling so appreciative of all the faculty/staff!
Later that day, Colin's best friend came over--and brought Cameron a gift! We thought it
was such a nice gesture, but couldn't imagine the goodness that was inside: a Cutler jersey!!
Cameron has been dying for one of these, and his face just lit up!!
Of course, Cameron had to put it right on.
This is how he answered when asked, "How do you like it, buddy?"
I think that's means a lot!!
That night, we rounded up the troops and Grandma MJ for a trip to Cameron's
favorite pizza place--the same exact place we went this time last year!
{Oh, my...how the kids have changed in just one short year!}
I have to stop and make a note here about Cameron's balloon bouquet. Grandma Jane volunteered to pick up some "Bears" balloons for Cameron (much like his tractor bouquet from last year!) but the lady at the shop didn't tie them properly. When my mom went to open the door of her car at the restaurant, the Mylar football-shaped balloon that said "BEARS" flew out of the car and into the sky! (Of course, it would have been the $5 balloon, and not the plain ones....) So, Cameron was left with three plain balloons. Then, we walked into the restaurant, and a little boy about one year old spotted the balloons. Cameron went over to his bouquet and took one of the balloons out and gave it to the little boy!
Such a sweet gesture--but it left him with a pretty puny-looking bouquet! *giggle*
{He didn't seem to mind!}
Lola snuggling up to Grandma!
Cameron got a card that transformed into an Iron Man Mask--of course that immediately went on.
Colin and Colden
The birthday boy with Daddy....
....and Grandma....
....and Mommy.
Lo giggling at her brothers
Such a happy girl!
As I was decorating Cameron's cake, he asked me: "What are you going to write on there, Mommy?"
I said, "Happy 6th birthday, Cameron!"
He responded: "You already wrote that on my cupcakes. Can you write instead....ummmmm....'My best birthday of ALL'? And then sign it, 'Cameron'. Can you do that?"
Yes. Yes, I can do that.
Making yet another wish!
We came back to the house after dinner and opened presents.
I wanted to snap a quick picture of Cameron with his present bag before the paper started flying--
if this picture does not capture my boys' nature, I don't know what does!
A new superheroes shirt,
a Bears sweatshirt,
and a Bears coat! Which, he immediately had to model for us, of course.
Of all the pictures I took on Cameron's big day, this series has to be my favorite. All of the boys have been begging for a certain Wii game, and we gave it to Cameron for his birthday. Here is the result as he opened it, and make sure to check all three of the faces in each picture!
Very excited
and very loud yelling
{Love Ethan here, looking at Daddy like, "No WAY!!"}
And then, pure elation all the way around!!
I am so blessed to have such great boys in my home....
....and to be celebrating yet another year with this one in particular!
Happy birthday Cameron! We love you so very much.

|You'll practically never ever see this.
First, I hope it's clear that landlines are not immune from outages, either. And unlike an answering machine hooked up to your landline, your VoIP voicemail is handled at the server level, so callers can still leave messages even if your local Internet is down. Which, again, rarely happens around here...
But there's comfort in knowing the status of your complete VoIP system. Fortunately, my provider, voip.ms, provides an applications programming interface (API) that makes it simple (but geeky!) to have your Mac continuously monitor your VoIP-line status and alert you if there's an outage or even if your equipment is having problems. (My example code below is platform-independent, too, and can be adapted to whatever live-desktop and alert mechanism works for your computer.)
The trick is to leverage a wonderful utility called GeekTool to periodically check your account registration status on voip.ms' servers. GeekTool can run scripts, and it's pretty easy to make a script which will use voip.ms' API, display the status and even trigger an alert via another popular utility called Growl.
Here's how
First, download and install GeekTool. (
- Log on to your voip.ms account. In the tab marked "Main Menu", select the "SOAP and JSON/REST API".
- Scroll down to the bottom. Enable the API, assign a password (which can be different from your login password), and enter your IP address. Click the update buttons after each entry.
- Scroll up a bit, and look for the link that says "Click here to download Example Codes and API Documentation" Download this, unzip, and look for the folder entitled "Examples SOAP for PHP5." In this folder, look for the document "class.voipms.php".
- Open class.voipms.php using TextEdit. Put your account number and API password in it up top, then save it somewhere handy-- for example, I have a folder called "geekvoip" in my Documents folder.
Your account is now set up for automated access and monitoring. Here's a simple script which we'll call from GeekTool:
Copy that and paste into TextEdit. (Note my example is made to check two subaccounts-- the code is easily modified to handle any number.) Put your subaccount number(s) in it, and save it with a .php extension in the same folder you just saved class.voipms.php in. In my case, the file is named voip.php.
Now, open GeekTool. Drag a Shell object onto your desktop. In the Command field of the object, type a php command to execute the file you just saved. In my case, the command looks like:
php ~/Documents/geekvoip/voip.php
Good settings for the GeekTool object are a Refresh of perhaps 600 seconds and a timeout of maybe 20 seconds.
You're done! Position and size the GeekTool object as desired, and it will always be on your desktop. If you've installed Growlnotify, you'll see a pop-up notification on the exceedingly rare occasion that your VoIP line can't be reached.

When we posted the first trailer for Love and Other Drugs, the romantic dramedy led by Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, one comment remarked, "Show me the whole movie why don't you?" Turns out there may still be plenty of plot details under wraps. 20th Century Fox has released a new trailer, and in doing so revealed an entirely new (and arguably major) subplot absent from trailer number one. If you don't mind a bit of spoilage, check out the new trailer after the jump.
Love and Other Drugs opens on November 24th. Here's the official synopsis:
Hathaway portrays Maggie, an alluring free spirit who won't let anyone – or anything – tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie (Gyllenhaal), whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love.
Via Vulture:
So yeah, Maggie has Parkinson's. Does that affect your desire to see it:
a) positively
b) negatively
c) not at all

Fear is like a fence
around my mind,
my body,
my soul, and
my world.
It restricts me,
my view,
my interactions,
my experiences, and
my life.
Fear looks like
its protecting,
providing safety,
security, and
in reality,
it is imprisoning,
and limiting.
Today I live
without fear.
i know I have
nothing to fear.
I am embrace the
opportunities to grow,
to evolve,
and to be transformed.
This is why I live
without fear.

- No products in the cart.
We are passionate R/C hobbyists dedicated on Design, Prototyping, Testing & Accomplishing unique Projects.
We love Gasser & Turbine R/C Models and Composite Materials too!
Our goal is to overthrow some of affairs in the field of R/C Modeling and create unique High End Products.
After 15 years of experience in R/C Hobby, we have been disgusted to face reliability problems, outrunning moving parts, pour quality of materials used and un-tested products comes to market..
Gasser Helicopters can FLY!
They Can do Sport / Aerobatics but they can fly 3D as well!
With all this bad history of problematic conversion kits, poor designs, faulty gears and heavy & low quality materials, the flight capabilities of Gasser Helicopters became a myth..
With this fact as a motive force, Dennis (the founder) decided to design & build his own Gasser Heli with key objectives of High Quality, High Level of Performance but most important the Long Term Reliability.
Then, more Gasser Conversions follows..
T700XZ is our newest Turbine Conversion KIT for Align TREX 700X Dominator & TREX 700XN Helicopters.
More models will come soon..
We do not list any part or Conversion KIT without testing it first in real flight conditions.
We don't want to produce conversion KITs for every single helicopter of every Brand in the world just to say that we support lots of Helicopter models..
We want to give real solutions with no poor designs that will be the reason for more problems in the future..
Every Conversion Design (especially the Gassers) needs extensive checks and test flights in different conditions to be ready for people to invest on..
A Building Thread in a forum & little bit of hovering out in the yard is not enough and in our opinion its a clear fraud.
So, maybe our Designs will be a few, but all of our products they are tested for optimum quality & reliability before listed in our site for sell.
We are always open to new challenges and will be happy to helping you to create unique futuristic projects.
Our design team will post ideas in our Blog section and after your precious feed back maybe will see them on the air!
Blackout Conversion Kits, parts & accessories produced using the best quality materials but not in a mass production.
Huge Sales are not in our first Priorities.
The basic idea of Blackout Mods was about to produce true reliable Rc Gasser Helicopters that they could fly nice, without failures, with long term maintenance intervals & of course with a maximum performance..
As Blackoutmods.com is not a Job for living but a Passionate Hobby-style occupation, we are targeting to Hobbyists that they really know what they want.
We do not really care about the final cost of the products or the stock availability.
We think that everyone with enough experience on Gasser Helicopter conversions can perceive the differences of our designs & our philosophy instead other manufacturers.
You get what you pay for and you pay for a design dedicated on reliability and high performance. Not for marketing.
Our goal is to enjoy our hobby and create new projects every time..
Not to close tomorrow ..
If we get out of Business, we will publish the designs on our Official Web-Site and on the web forums.
We are not a huge company … We are also hobbyists and we do not want to disappoint any of our friends.
Until that moment comes, we will be here and we will offer our products and our services to all of you.
Yes of course. We have a lot of good friends all over the world!
Sorry but no.
We can not cancel any order and give refunds.
Most of our products are under 'on demand production' and for that reason its too hard for us to do it.

"Being a cartoonist is like having a bear by the tail. You can never let go." — Ernie Bushmiller

Chippewa County, WiHome Sitemap Contact
VOUCHER PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONThe Program is designed to enable very low-income renter households to afford decent rental units in the existing housing market. The funding for the program is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Chippewa County Housing Authority administers the program locally.
- The Housing Authority determines families eligible for rental assistance.
- Families select a unit in the open market.
- Landlords screen the tenant to see if they will be a good renter. Landlords can obtain information about a tenant's past participation in the rental assistance program, by submitting a written request to the Housing Authority.
- Landlords decide if they want to participate in the program.
- Housing Authority prepares the written documents for enrollment.
- Landlords monitor the tenant's compliance with the lease just like tenants who are not receiving assistance.
- HUD Contract [PDF]
PAYMENT POLICYThe housing authority pays rent monthly on the first working day of the month. Rent payments are sent to the Landlord via direct deposit. Landlords who did not want to use the direct deposit system can pick up their rent payments at the Authority office or provide self-addressed stamped envelopes for the checks to be mailed.
Landlords are responsible to collect the tenant's portion of the rent directly from the tenant.
HOW TO KNOW TENANT HAS VOUCHERThe potential tenant will have the voucher paperwork or the Request for Tenancy Approval form.
INSPECTION DESCRIPTIONUnits must be inspected and pass the inspection before a tenant can be enrolled in the program. The Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspection conducted by the Authority insures that the unit will be safe, decent and sanitary. Units must be inspected and pass the inspection annually. Units will also be inspected at the request of the tenant or the landlord. Landlords will be given a reasonable amount of time to complete repairs.
Please refer to the brochure "A Good Place to Live" for details about the HQS inspection. A Good Place to Live
- Lead Based Paint [PDF]
- Yes, but the value of the work or services is considered income for the tenant and it must be reported to the Authority. The income will affect the tenant's portion of the rent.
- The tenant and the landlord must report everyone who lives in the unit. The names of household members will be included in the program paperwork and they must be included on the tenant's lease with the landlord as well. Anyone who is present in the unit 51% of the time or who stays at the unit more than 45 days in one year is considered a household member and must be reported to the Authority.
- There are provisions for terminating participation after the first year. Termination requires proper written notice to the Housing Authority and the tenant.
- Yes. The landlord maintains all of his/her rights and responsibilities under Wisconsin Rental Laws. If a tenant on rental assistance violates the lease, landlords are encouraged to take the appropriate legal action.
- Tenants pay their portion of the rent directly to the owner. The owner is expected to enforce the lease if the tenant does not pay their rent. The Housing Authority pays its portion of the rent directly to the owner. Rent assistance is paid using a direct deposit system. Landlords who did not wish to participate in the direct deposit system will be required to pick up their check at the Authority office or provide self-addressed, stamped envelopes for mailing.
- No. The Housing Authority determines income eligibility and monitors compliance with program regulations. Owners must determine whether a family will be a good tenant, and monitor their compliance with the lease while they rent your unit.

Kawasaki Motorcycles To Feature AI Soon
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd is taking a leap forward as they are developing the new generation of motorcycles that will be able to adapt with the rider. In order to accomplish this plans, Kawasaki motorcycle dealers learned that the company is planning to use ICT or Information and Communications Technology such as Artificial Intelligence more commonly known as AI.
These new generation motorcycles will be equipped with Emotion Generation Engine and system that comes with Natural Language Dialogue. The basic concept of these motorbikes is that rider will be able to communicate with the system through the AI installed. As they rider and the motorcycle communicates, the system will be able to adapt with the rider for a riding experience like never before.
The system will be able to access the bank of Kawasaki containing all performance data and analytical chassis. Through this, the motorcycle will be able to give riders options to make the most of riding as well as relay essential information depending on the current status of the system. They will employ advanced technology for electronic management that will help in improving the settings of the machine based on the actual experience of the rider, the skills and styles while on the road. All of this will be possible through technology.
The concept of the system will make it possible for the motorcycle and rider to have a relationship. Continued interaction will create a stronger bond and eventually the unique personality of the rider will be reflected through the motorcycle he or she is riding. The goal of the system is to deliver enjoyment to the rider like never before.
All the motorcycles developed by Kawasaki follows the principle of "Rideology" wherein the rider is the center of the development.
The company firmly believes, along with the Kawasaki motorcycle dealers, that these bikes are not just tools that can take the rider from point A to point B but the overall experience should be enjoyable and rewarding at the same time. They are now taking further steps forward into creating motorcycles with additional capabilities through the help of AI.

We thought Dave Pell's musings on the original iPad in 2010 still ring true today, so we figured we'd share. Enjoy.
The other day, while sitting in our car with the windows down, my wife and I had a heated argument. Bad words. Yelling. A fist or two slammed into our car's centre console. Though we both received nominations, we never reached consensus on which one of us was wrong, and the whole thing blew over by time we pulled into the service station.

How many of us have been advised by every possible person in our lives that Exercise is the best option to lose weight? Whether it's a doctor or a mom, we've heard this from everyone and quite frankly, we know they're right. But the issue lies in how to get yourself up and actually doing these crazy exercises. One way to achieve this is to get appropriate motivation. Lay down your objectives down and state why you want to achieve them and till when you want to. Self-control and dedication are extremely important tools here.
Exercising is one of the easiest way to fight over weightiness. The various body movements we do while exercising, burns away fats layer by layer. The best part about this is that not only do you get rid of fats but you also get a healthier body, a strong immune system, better skin, stronger muscles and a lot more medical advantages. There are many exercises for weight loss, however some are extremely hard while others are relatively easy. We will take into consideration some of the easy to do exercises here-

Week Twenty-Eight -- Nails
Build a structure with your nails that will hold as many straws as possible and as high off the table as possible. You may not use the tape on the straws!
2 comments:
- Debbie Phillips said...
I don't understand??? this may just be a duh moment. I have wanted to get back to doing these projects and checked in this morning so we could do this this week but HUH??? What??? I could use a picture to help! I guess I will wait til some of the kids/parents do theirs and then I will see what you mean.
Build a structure with just nails and tape is that it? and then see how many straws it will hold.
thanks for clarification and or picture if you can help that would be great.
- March 9, 2009 at 9:25 AM
- Think! said...
No instructions. They can do anything! A house of nails, a tower of nails, straws standing upright on nails. The idea is to get them thinking creatively about solving an open-ended problem with myriad solutions. Posting one solution shortly, but would encourage you to just tell the kids to build a structure from nails and tape that will support as many straws as possible. They'll figure it out:)

Galentine's Day: Best ways to celebrate with your girlfriends!
Galentine's Day: Best ways to celebrate with your girlfriends!
If you know Parks & Recreation, you know Leslie Knope's Galentine's Day. She greets her girlfriends at a restaurant with gifts and super positive company. Galentine's Day only has one rule – no guys. The name Galentine's Day says it all.
Do you want to throw your own Galentine's Day party with your girlfriends? We came up with some ideas about how you can celebrate your own Galentine's Day:
- Watch Parks & Recreation's "Galentine's Day" episode in Season Two. Have everyone bring candy to pass around and remember, calories don't count on Galentine's Day (or at least that's what we say). And don't blame us if you end up binge watching the rest of the show… for the fourth time.
- Still a little bitter about the holiday? Throw a Black Hearts party for all of your single girlfriends. Wear black and decorate your dorm room in all black hearts. All Galentine's Day events need food and chocolate – so make sure you're prepared. You can rant, but keep the bitterness to a minimum and make a funny anti-love playlist, and don't forget to include Hailee Steinfeld's "Love Myself."
- Let's be honest – watching Leslie Knope on Parks & Recreation can make you laugh uncontrollably. Pull up your favorite moments on the show on YouTube. Everyone knows one video search on YouTube can lead to a hundred more clicks on one video's "Related Videos" and a hundred more laughs. We suggest you look up the show's blooper reel.
- Galentine's Day can also be celebrated by buying cheap candy at Wal-Mart before you head to the movies to snack and see a chick flick! "How To Be Single" with Dakota Johnson, Alison Brie, Leslie Mann and Rebel Wilson comes out on Feb 12. It tells the story of people in New York whose lonely hearts are trying to find a match. The movie's Valentine's Day weekend release date is pretty convenient.
- Let's just copy Leslie and say, take your friends out for a great breakfast. You can exchange gifts in a Secret Santa kind of fashion, compliment each other and tell stories. It's a guaranteed way to start off your day great and can be followed by #1-4 listed above.
All of these suggestions can be varied to your liking! There is lots of room for adjustment, or you could combine some of them. Dare I say it is possible to do all five, especially in one weekend. Don't get too bogged down by the fact that it is a couple's holiday. Recall when Leslie says, "We need to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn't matter, but work is third."

The Journey Into The Ears
by KV
This is a tale about how I got my in-ears.
When these started to feel old & insufficient
I wanted to have a new pair of these
Because I was heavily influenced by the national treasure of Korea
Then I got distracted by these
& also liked these after testing
In the end I went to the audio headphones store to get these
But ended up with a pair of these!
Simply because, for an entry-level in-ears for daily commute heavy usage, coming from a manufacturer of such repute, I have yet to find a pair that is as impressive. value-for-money & feels as properly-built as these.
