well from the Nazi's, on how to steal other peoples land. Palestine belongs to the world not just one group. It was a peacefull place pre WWII, I've talked with Jews and Muslims that lived on the same streets before the War. The Arab people at the time said devide Germany and make a Jewish homeland there. This will never end and Canada should mind it's own business. PS: We have own people in camps called reserves,,,,, Fiat lux We've lost many good friends We've lost many good friends in the Holocaust, some of them my schoolmates, including one of my best friends, Peter Adam, whose death has practically changed my way of thinking and life. My granddaughter is married to a Jew, with our 2 half Jewish great grandchildren, so anybody who'd call me an antisemite is nuts. Some 16 million were killed in Hitler's death camps, 6 million of them Jews. But this crime wave didn't give the right to Poles, or Ukrainians, who were also great losers, to claim superior, God given powers over others, now claimed by the Jews. Religions, supposedly based of love and peace, have been the biggest killers, colonizers and crime waves in human history, always claiming prophetic justifications. Most wars, colonizations, ethnic cleansing and enslavements have been justified by claims that God came down from heaven and whispered contradictory instructions, orders and licences to kill others, into the ears of some "prophets". As various religions now murder each other over the claim

How to make a barometer work: to calibrate, compare the movements in millimetres with the changes in reported barometric pressure. Determine how many observed pressure units, either kiloPascals or hundredths of an inch of mercury each millimeter on the ruler represents. For best results, use your barometer indoors where the temperature remains almost constant. How does a barometer work? The mass of air above the water inside the straw does not change, but the increased pressure causes it to occupy a smaller space, provided the temperature does not change. The whole system seems to know how to make a barometer respond. One of Galileo's students, Evangelista Torricelli, wrote We live submerged at the bottom of an ocean of elementary air, which is known by incontestable experiments to have weight . This has become a famous quotation in meteorology. Barometers have been developed to help us determine that weight. Traditional barometers come in two types: Liquid barometers - someone figured out how to make a barometer with a vertical tube containing either water or mercury. If it has mercury, which is far more common, its height changes from around two to nearly three feet at ground level when the atmospheric pressure changes. How often does that happen? Every day, but not by a lot, usually. When people, usually American citizens and pilots, say that the pressure is 29 inches or some number close to that, they are talking about mercury. Most often, this is the height the mercury column would be

pattern, but I ended up with an extra 20cm or so. Huzzah! In pieces! Gee, it all looks so simple when you see it just sitting there like that. It isn't. I am lucky in that my mother is a sewer from way back, who has a nice sewing machine for all of her patchwork needs. I've only used her new machine once before, so it was a bit of a learning process. I kept trying to press buttons where they were on the one I grew up with, as opposed to where they actually are. The first step was staystitching the waist and side seams. You use a larger stitch for this (kind of the machine version of tacking) and it's done to prevent stretching. Then the darts were put in. It was at this point that I really thought the skirt was going to be too small for me, because the two back pieces looked absolutely tiny at the waist once the darts had been stitched in and pressed. Then came the really scary part: sewing in the zip. I was able to find one that was a brilliant match for the fabric, so that was good, but there is just something about zips that seem extremely scary to a novice sewer such as myself! Here, it's all pinned into place, which took a couple of tries, as you have to get it so that the seams come as close as possible to meeting in the middle of

try to be open minded, be honest, and try to explain my thoughts & feelings more clearly. Otherwise, I'd be a simpering fake. Like C.S. Lewis books (especially the last of his Chronicles of Narnia, The Last Battle), A Wrinkle In Time has strong, (heavy-handed, I think), overtones of Christian doctrine. I'm not anti-spiritual, but I have a personal discomfort with this kind of religious doctrine. (You many not, and that's fine.) But more than that issue, the book is an odd combination of intelligent hard science, interesting quantum science that is brushed over, and quotes from the bible. At least there are a few respectful mentions of other spiritual leaders from other cultures, and moral messages from classic literature and philosophers. I understand this combination garnered criticism from both religious fundamentalists as well as atheists and secular society. L'Engle has earned my respect for taking on the difficult and controversial marriage of science and religion. She has also earned my criticism for raising this issue and then failing to really grapple with it. It's treated lightly, as though it's a natural thing that should be easy to accept, in spite of the many holes and inconsistencies in her story. I wouldn't even mind, except that this book takes itself SO seriously! It's easy to imagine that a school teacher might use this book to demonstrate that Evolutionist Theory and Creationism can be combined, but I find science and religion to have a disjointed and uneasy coexistence in this book.

here is that as a consequence of motion, time would be equally relevant to the non-extremal curves, as it is to the extremal curves. It would simply be relative to the system being described. The point of Barbour's essay is self contradictory. It starts as a denunciation of absolute time, then sets about determining it through the principle of least action. I couldn't help but concur with the dx4/ct = ic comment Aguirre made. All this tells us is that everthing is moving at the speed of light! Even while sitting down we are all moving along the 4th coordinate direction at the speed of light, times i = sqrt{-1}. Something I remember from undergraduate study.

terror slowly crept up Alex's back, spreading throughout his body - a sickly sweet treacle passively oozing along his arms, to the end of his legs, up his neck and then invading his head. His body felt like it was sinking into his bed; he was heavy and immobile, gripped by paralysis. The man at the end of the bed raised his left hand. In the gnarled and bony fist he held a long, gleaming pair of scissors. Alex's paralysis was broken, but only by an uncontrollable shaking, that ran up and down his body. His breath rasped and jarred, stopped and then forced itself out again. The man knelt down on the end of the bed, and then, on his knees, he moved up the duvet, eventually straddling the shaking body of Alex. Attempting to exert some control, Alex shut his eyes, tight. He felt the weight of the thing on top of him, and then the warmth of the duvet suddenly disappeared and he felt the cold air of the room against his perspiring skin. As Alex opened his eyes he saw the man above him, raising the scissors over his head. It seemed to Alex that the steel blades fell in slow motion. As their tip punctured his wet stomach he was almost calm, watching as a spectator. The blade sunk down, deep into him, releasing a thick red flow of blood. It was an intense coldness, penetrating right into his insides, scraping the edge of his

whether the label said green onions, scallions or rare ripes, they always looked the same. With the advent of Farmers' Markets that may all have changed, but that was my experience as of 10 years ago. Well, they are not long-cooked. They can be used raw, and the bulbs can be cooked somewhat. They are like Vidalia onions but with the greens - that is, they need to be kept refrigerated and have a less sharp (which translates into seeming more sweet but isn't necessarily), less complex flavor profile than storage onions (hence, they don't benefit from long cooking). On the episode of her PBS show that I saw yesterday, Lidia Bastianich said that if the greens are tubular and hollow, like a straw, it's in the onion family, but that if the greens are flat and strap-like, it's in the garlic family. I realize they are all alliums but that's an easy way to pre-determine the way the allium greens will taste. I saw something similiar on a No Reservations show set in Spain. I was so intrigued, I roasted several bunches in my oven - no comparison to what they ate in Spain, I'm sure - but nevertheless, incredibly good. In my opinion - scallions, green onions, & spring onions are the same thing. A non-bulbing onion plant where the stem is the usable part. No onion bulb present. Now around here we frequently see "baby onions", which have the lovely usable scallion-type top greens, but have a

course in 'Contemporary Urbanism' as a sensible preventative measure -- much as we arrested domiciled Nazis and pro--Molotov-Ribbentrop pact commies in 1939. And much as then, we could intern them on the Isle of Wight, with their benighted lecturers, the facile Howard Kirks of this century. You can imagine the sort of glib, infantile, left-wing drivel that gets rammed into thick, impressionable middle-class Australian students studying Contemporary Urbanism, can't you? I will bet any money that the people behind the course were also behind that hilarious 'study' the LSE produced in conjunction with, natch, the Guardian about last summer's riots. This consisted of asking rioters why they rioted and taking the answers at face value in a dynamic new sociological approach called Utter Naivety. Oddly enough, none of the rioters said: 'We rioted because we're greedy, feral, badly brought-up, fairly stupid and criminally inclined.' The riots were, instead, an entirely appropriate response to social and political aspects of cities, especially when our western-centric views of these places are challenged. It goes without saying, of course, that the globe-trotting Trenton hails from a background more moneyed and gilded than that which had been the lot of most of the Oxbridge rowers, I would guess. He had attended one of Australia's top fee-paying schools, the Sydney Church of England Grammar -- which will have set his parents back something like 16,000 per year.

you should plan around that. At the right time, you may explain to your wife that you are not excluding her from your daughter's life. That when she gives up her habit, you will fully support and encourage her relationship with your daughter. What is not advisable is to suddenly disappear and alienate your wife. Try to remain calm and explain why you are making your decision. Once you have everything worked out, explain it to her so that she is reassured that your daughter will be safe and content. Provide your address and contact number so that there can be indirect contact frequently. It will be a big change for your daughter so you need to make sure that you plan it carefully. If you are unsure and need more support, instruct your local solicitor for specific advice. Good luck.

money; parents are left to advocate and negotiate for necessities with school superintendents/Boards" You need to get one thing perfectly clear. Yon CANNOT save money in education. Every dollar not spent in education will eventually be spent anyway X10. It will be spent on welfare, EI, prisons, courts, cops, productivity losses, lack of innovation, lower GDP, higher debt and deficit, and eventually higher taxes. Education spending is the one chance we have to avoid all of this. Yes you can spend inefficiently but it is almost impossible to spend to much. Some nations appear to spend less per child but it is because they have less. China for example, spends the world's highest % of GDP on education. If you want to fall seriously behind PR China, the asian tigers and other emeging nations I suggest slashing the education budget. Of course Doug, China and India would have have larger GDP growth, based alone on population, and exports. plus government spending. Impossible to spend too much??? Perhaps when education needs on based on SEC factors, and equity policies that more or less works at the lowest bench marks, always creates the need of more money, to prevent "welfare, EI, prisons, courts, cops, productivity losses, lack of innovation, lower GDP, higher debt and deficit, and eventually higher taxes." What a sorry excuse Doug, and the other advocates of increase expenditures, in the public education system, when none of the policies work for the best interests and the learning needs of students.

Jesus in Islam The Islamic view of Jesus (or, "Isa in Arabic, ;- peace be upon him) lies between two extremes. The Jews, who rejected Isa (Jesus) as a Prophet, called him an imposter. The Christians, on the other hand, considered him to be the son of God and worship him as such. Islam considers Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) to be one of the great Prophets of Allah and respects him as much as Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). This is in conformity with the Islamic view of the oneness of God (Allah), the oneness of Divine guidance, and the complementary role of the subsequent mission of Allah's messengers. The essence of Islam- willing submission to the will of Allah- was revealed to Adam ( peace be upon him), who passed it on to his children. All the following revelations to Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim, Musa, Isa (Jesus), and, finally, Muhammad (peace be upon them all) are in conformity with that message, with some elaboration to define the relation between man and God, man and man, man and his environment, and living according to Allah's instructions. Thus, Islam views any contradictions among revealed religions as a man-made element introduced into these religions. The position of Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) in the three major creeds- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam- is not an exception. Miraculous Birth Although the Qur'an does not present a detailed life-story of Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon

Through the will of God - Not by human appointment, or authority, but in accordance with the will of God, and His command. That will was made known to him by the special revelation granted to him at his conversion, and call to the apostleship; Acts 9 . Paul often refers to the fact that he had received a direct commission from God, and that he did not act on his own authority; compare Galatians 1:11-12 ; 1 Corinthians 9:1-6 ; 2 Corinthians 11:22-33 ; 2 Corinthians 12:1-12 . There was a special reason why he commenced this Epistle by referring to the fact that he was divinely called to the apostleship. It arose from the fact that his apostolic authority had been called in question by the false teachers at Corinth. That this was the case is apparent from the general strain of the Epistle, from some particular expressions 2 Corinthians 10:8-10 ; and from the fact that he is at so much pains throughout the two epistles to establish his divine commission. And Sosthenes - Sosthenes is mentioned in Acts 18:17 , as "the chief ruler of the synagogue" at Corinth. He is there said to have been beaten by the Greeks before the judgment-seat of Gallio because he was a Jew, and because he had joined with the other Jews in arraigning Paul, and had thus produced disturbance in the city; see the note on this place. It is evident that at that time he was not

Sending out a .doc CV by email instead of post doesn't make you "cutting edge"; if you really want to be at the forefront of the next big shift in recruitment, you need to get yourself a professional profile on at least one of the three main social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn). LinkedIn is a great place to start as it is most similar to the old style CV, except with this, you can connect with potential employers directly, network with people in your industry, and open yourself up to the opportunity of being headhunted for a role.

hand, the variation in temperature as we move north or south is reduced from the preindustrial. Given that, and bearing in mind the importance of temperature gradients in determining the weather, it is not surprising that the patterns of precipitation change. Rainfall is reduced on average over the entire planet, with strong effects over the Americas and northern Eurasia. The total global cloud cover is also reduced in all the models. This contributes to the change in albedo (reflectivity) of the planet, which drops by about 2 % in all four models. The models all predict a stronger effect in Europe but disagree on what would happen in large parts of the tropics or subtropics. Note that the reduction in albedo means that less of the sun's radiation is reflected from Earth, so more particles or mirrors would be required to reduce the incoming radiation sufficiently to maintain the preindustrial mean global temperature. There are of course many uncertainties in the calculations. The sudden quadrupling of CO 2 is not realistic, though the rise to four times the preindustrial level is within the bounds of the current climate change models, albeit at the high end of the range of predictions. On the other hand, holding the mean global temperature constant is very much a best case scenario, and secondary effects such as decreased precipitation may well be underestimated.

I just liked the sound of what I heard, so I thought I'd go and have a listen -- not even in a particularly musical sense. I listened to a couple, and I think there was one, 'Coughs And Sneezes Spread Diseases', which kind of grabbed me -- there were a couple of samples that I thought I might just tinker round with.

Re: James Turk - The Most Important & Extraordinary Chart for 2012 El P., imo, there are certain groups (wall street,London, Washington,DC,ETC.) that have put great fear into investors minds about gold bullion price volitility . All you have to do is look at the contrived unexpected drop in the gold price several times in recent months by $100 or more in a day. This fear has been taken advantage of by the manipulators who have/are shorting the heck out of most gold equities for their own gain . It has got to a point where investors appear to fear having anything to do with gold equities, regardless of rising, strong fundamentals. The gold sector is relatively small and trading it can easily be controlled by these traders. The sector remains in their strong grips ,but hopefuuly that will change in time. Just look at the link below which shows the largest short position as at April 15/12 for TSX companies and you will see how many gold stocks are in a short position.

think once given the forum New Zealand women are very intrigued and curious about sex and very open to the discussion. I think we like to know we are 'normal' and in particular I think we like to know what everyone else is doing (or not doing). We love a bit of naughty and from my experience I think we are open to new things. I don't think we talk about it openly like other European cultures because we tend to be more reserved as a nation, but I think we want to. How important do you think seduction is when it comes to sex and romance? It's crucial, and unfortunately it's so often forgotten. I have yet to meet a man or woman who does not enjoy being seduced. It's the quickest way to make your partner feel desired and that's pretty powerful. Do you think women have lost the art of seduction? Absolutely. I think for various reasons we have become lazy in the bedroom, expecting our partners to seduce us or instigate sex. I think life often gets in the way of us enjoying the act of seduction and instead we fall into the habit of obligation. Many women tell me they feel self conscious attempting to be the seducer. I am a firm believer that seductresses are not born but come from having the confidence to try something new. That means baby steps and trying things not too far outside your comfort zone.

held the autonomy and authority, 'rangatiratanga', over their own domains but there was no supreme ruler of the whole country. In the M?ori version, the translators used the inadequate term 'kawanatanga', a transliteration of the word 'governance', which was then in current use. M?ori understanding of this word came from familiar use in the New Testament of the Bible when refering to the likes of Pontious Pilate, and from their knowledge of the role of the 'Kawana', or Governor of New South Wales, whose jurisdiction then extended to British subjects in New Zealand. As a result, in this article, M?ori believe they ceded to the Queen a right of governance in return for the promise of protection, while retaining the authority they always had to manage their own affairs. Article 2 The M?ori version of article 2 uses the word 'rangatiratanga' in promising to uphold the authority that tribes had always had over their lands and taonga. This choice of wording emphasises status and authority. In the English text, the Queen guaranteed to M?ori the undisturbed possession of their properties, including their lands, forests, and fisheries, for as long as they wished to retain them. This text emphasises property and ownership rights. Article 2 provides for land sales to be effected through the Crown. This gave the Crown the right of pre-emption in land sales.

Why I love WoW, from Vanilla-MoP Let me start out by saying, this will be a very long post, and it will be about why I love to play this game, and to explain in best text as to why this is so. Also, I don't get a chance to do this very often but, thank you Blizzard. Thank you for making this expac and the ones before it, thank you for taking the time and may I say that this is my favorite expac by far with BC being in a close second place. Let's start out a long long time ago...when I was sitting a friend house during a Euchre tournament when he talked me into trying this game called World Of Warcraft. Being rather new to computer games (have only really played Runescape, Age of Empires a dabble of Warcraft III so far) he finally talked me into buying a game it cost 15$ a month to play. Considering I was a high school student and working/supporting myself..some thought was involved. Anyhow I'm sitting there with my first character "Magepierre" (horrible named I was flamed with forever) and killing piggies with Fireball, and eventually got frost bolt and was like...damn, this game is pretty fun. Only to find out the more I leveled and geared, the more I became appreciative of the gameplay and game type.

Anyway, here's what a test looks like: To load controllers we have to import the module, then get the function out of it. We'll use the __import__ builtin to import the module. The return value of __import__ isn't very useful, but it puts the module into sys.modules , a dictionary of all the loaded modules. Also, some people don't know how exactly the string method split works. It takes two arguments -- the first is the character to split on, and the second is the maximum number of splits to do. We want to split on just the first : character, so we'll use a maximum number of splits of 1. Now, the Router class. The class has the add_route method, and also a __call__ method. That __call__ method makes the Router object itself a WSGI application. So when a request comes in, it looks at PATH_INFO (also known as req.path_info ) and hands off the request to the controller that matches that path. line 5 : We are going to keep the route options in an ordered list. Each item will be (regex, controller, vars) : regex is the regular expression object to match against, controller is the controller to run, and vars are any extra (constant) variables. line 8, 9 : We will allow you to call add_route with a string (that will be imported) or a controller object. We test for a string here, and then import it if necessary. line 13 : Here we add a

This is a really cool song written by Ron Block, and sung by Alison Krauss on her album, "So Long, So Wrong" It's pretty easy: Intro: (A) Verse: A E D A I've seen hard times and I've been told D E There isn't any wonder that I fall. A E D A Why do we suffer, crossing off the years? D E A There must be a reason for it all. Verse 2: I've trusted in you Jesus, to save me from my sin Heaven is the place I call my home. But I keep on getting caught up in this world I'm living in and your voice it sometimes fades before I know. Fm D E A Hurtin' brings my heart to you, crying with my need Fm D E Depending on your love to carry me. A E D A The love that shed his blood for all the world to see D E A This must be the reason for it all. (instrumental) Hurtin' brings my heart to you, a fortress in the storm When what I wrap my heart around is gone. I give my heart so easily to the ruler of this world When the one who loves me most will give me all. Fm D E A In all the things that cause me pain you give me eyes to see Fm D E I do believe but help my unbelief. A E D A(stop) I've seen hard times and I've been told

at whose feet we stand, is the massive column which supports the structure on this side; and as we look forward to the glory, the second advent of our Lord is the solid support on the other side of the deep gulf of time. By faith we first look to Jesus, and then for Jesus; and herein is the life of our spirits. Christ on the cross of shame, and Christ on the throne of glory, we dwell between these two boundaries: these are our Dan and Beersheba, and all between is holy ground. As for our Lord's first coming, there lies our rest: the once-offered Sacrifice hath put away our sin, and made our peace with God. As for his second coming, there lies our hope, our joy; for we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. The glories of his sacred royalty shall be repeated in all the saints; for he hath made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign with him for ever and ever. At his first advent we adore him with gratitude rejoicing in "God with us", as making himself to be our near kinsman. We gather with grateful boldness around the infant in the manger, and behold our God. But in the second advent we are struck with a solemn reverence, a trembling awe. We are not less grateful, but we are more prostrate as we bow before

1810 when Bavaria was a kingdom for itself and the crownprince Ludwig married princess Therese. The event was a great success and used to be repeated since then every year. The Lederhose is by no means typically for the working-class. It is a traditional costume worn by the people living near or in the mountains, but only for special events. In former times the Lederhose became popular also in nobel circles, even the Austrian Emperor Franz Josef and the Bavarian Prince Regent wore a Lederhose when they went hunting. Nowadays Lederhose and Dirndl are even admitted to formal evening events in Bavaria where instead of it a long dress and dinner jacket is obligatory. Sorry that I have to act as a smart-aleck, but what Mrs McCormack wrote about the Oktoberfest and the Lederhosen is complete nonsense. First of all, the Oktoberfest is no German tradition but a Bavarian one.

i used to be one of those people that ate out for lunch every day. But I've come to the realization that the $100 to $125 a month i'm spending eating out fast food can be better spent on other things. Ramen Noodles have stepped up to become a quick, and cheap way to have lunch, especially in a busy office such as the one I work in. They come in so many flavors now to boot. I laughed when I saw this book but how can you go wrong for $10? Regular Ramen noodles are just fine by me but Toni patrick puts a charge into them with some amazingly creative additions. For example, spice up a plain can of tomato soup with some noodles or add some fresh veggies to make a Ramen vegetable soup. Not all of them will work for your office lunch as some will require baking and a bit of cook time. I personally love the parmesan Noodles or the Alfredo Noodles which are very quick and easy to make. Or there is the one person Ramen Lasagna with just a cup of sauce, and some ricotta and mozzarella that can be made in a 4" x 4" pan. perfect for a toaster oven if you have one at work. I really can't get into some of the breakfast recipes but perhaps the kids might. But this book did help spice up lunch a little bit and turn more boring, but cheap Ramen Noodles

it's really, really bad for her, that's why. We are struggling right now to find a balance between tasty and indulgent and healthy. At 9, it's really the time to get her into good eating habits that she can carry with her through life. I began to struggle in high school, where I only wanted to eat cheese fries and drink soda. I don't want the same for her but it is proving a significant challenge, especially because she is a picky eater. There's a line that, as a parent, I feel I'm faced with. And that's making the better, healthy choice versus making my child happy. Then again, that opens another problem can full of worms. Why should food be what is making her happy? Ugh. Both my parents gradually gained weight throughout my childhood. My mum was very slim until she had my sister when I was 4 and from then she's gained and gained. She has intentions of losing weight but doesn't do very well no matter how much I try to help her. My dad has his own ideas of weight loss, none of which work very well but he's a know-it-all and won't be told otherwise. My parents had a bad relationship so to make me and my sister feel better (then later on, just me), my mum would buy us food. Chocolate, McDonalds, KFC, cakes, fizzy drinks etc. she thought she was doing the right thing. We also had free rein to the cupboards

comes to the home itself the exceptional quality is evident in every aspect, from the flawless design to the most minute style details. Together builders and craftsmen have created a masterpiece; consider the interior and exterior hand rendered plaster, or the fossilised Indian stone that marks the entrance. Other features include the beautiful kauri ceiling of the study, a stunning Tasmanian Oak kitchen - the curves of which were crafted by a boat builder, and of course the architecturally designed stainless steel sculptures which top the columns of the balcony. In practical terms art embraces the necessities of life -there are walled areas protecting the outdoor living from the sea breeze, shutters provide sun shelter and courtyards afford additional indoor/outdoor living space. Balconies, courtyards and countless nooks and crannies allow for moments of absolute peace and tranquillity, and the curve of the home reflects the curve of the rolling hillside. Indeed the location itself is second to none - set on a stretch of pristine Bay of Plenty coastline, the endless white sand beaches remain only peppered with holidaymakers even in the height of summer. The local township retains the character of a bygone era, yet there is every facility needed. The bustling city of Tauranga is a 45-minute commute, Auckland only an hour and a half. This property epitomizes the ideal of 'the best of both worlds' - a private sanctuary with the outside world within easy reach.

The late Mr. Arthur Henderson, who was a real Labour leader, moved in 1907 that the other place represented interests that were opposed to the general well being, that it was a hindrance to national progress, and that it ought to be abolished. This was moved 40 years ago, and here we are playing about and tinkering with this thing by means of a two Clause Bill. [HON. MEMBERS: "Hear, hear."] The best reply that I can make to those "hear, hears" is to ask: If this were moved today would it receive the support of hon. Gentlemen? The Prime Minister of the day moved that the final decision of the Commons should prevail. That was carried by 432 votes to 147. That was 40 years ago. Today we listened to some extravagant language from the Leader of the Opposition. He must have forgotten "The Economic Consequences of Mr. Churchill." He must have forgotten that the greatest orthodox economist of this country at that time wrote that book, and in it is one of the greatest indictments against any living man. In that book it is stated that the then Chancellor of the Exchequer had as his object to bring down the wages of the working people of this country.

Don't make the common mistake of simply shoving everything you have into each attendee's hand. Make yourself memorable If you can engage a couple in a short activity at your stand they will remember you. A friend of mine, who is a wedding photographer, recently made quirky cut outs for people to put their heads into and have their photos taken. She took their email addresses and emailed them the photos after the show. What a brilliant idea! Set Goals It is important to know exactly what you want to get out of the fair before you start. Do you want a certain number of leads to follow up on? Setting these goals will not only keep you on track during the fair but will also help you to determine if it was a worthwhile investment afterwards. Be informative not 'salesy' Using an email marketing service, I love MailChimp personally, import the details of the couples whom you have been given permission to contact. Then you will need to set up a series of auto responders with informative, fun and useful content for them. At the end of the day people don't like to feel like they are being sold to. However by keeping it informative and fun you're doing the exact same thing but in a less pushy way. The idea here is to establish yourself at the expert in your field by showing the potential client how much you know so they want to book you. Know that

think they are smart simply because they repeat the same thing a whole bunch of other people are parroting. They say things like there are lots of books that prove it, yet there are plenty of books spouting all kinds of nonsense. Does there being a bunch of books claiming proof there are beings from other planets flying all over the place mean this must be true? How about the many books claiming the position of the stars at your birth dictate your entire life? Many scientists wrote papers and books proving you cannot fly, or later that you cannot fly faster than sound, but all those words didn't make their claims true. Just because a bunch of scientists , like most everyone else, refuse to think for themselves or engage in honest scientific research and just parrot others doesn't mean their yap has any validity in fact whether they put it in a book or online or not. Oh, and only fools claim that God and science can't coexist. Who do you think created the sciences? And proof of God is everywhere in science, like in the massive and complex coding found in DNA that puts all computer programmers to shame. There are bees that shouldn't be able to fly that are flying, and many other wondrous creations everywhere around the globe and wonders we are just now starting to be able to view in space itself.

The Canaries stretched their unbeaten league run to four games with a weekend point at Reading and Hughton is delighted with the positive response to early adversity following a heavy opening day reverse at Fulham. "On that first day, I think we got a lot of things wrong. It was a bit of a surprise for us," he said. "We had had a decent pre-season and we'd looked quite solid without scoring the goals we would have liked. We didn't see that coming, I must admit. "But I was encouraged straight after that. We had four games after that which were very encouraging, so I know it's there. You can only deal with what's put in front of you and I've been fortunate that I've got a good group of players. I've also brought in a good group of players and at the moment we've got some really good competition for places. On a lot of occasions, a second season is the toughest season. But that's what the challenge is. I think the previous manager before me would have felt the same, that it was going to be a real tough season." Hughton's squad have gone back to basics after a fourth clean sheet of the campaign at the Madejski, but the City boss insisted he did not inherit the rump of a squad with defensive vulnerability.

Pages Wednesday, 24 October 2012 Tutorial: The 'Not So Dreadful' Y Seam My partner this month in the Quilting Block Swaps Australia group that I am in asked me to make a 'spool' block. Since this block, when pieced traditionally, contains 'Y' seams it seemed like a good opportunity to write a tutorial on the process. As the blocks needed for the swap are 12" finished the dimensions in this block are large and make the 'Y' seam process a little easier if you are only just tackling this technique for the first time. But don't be scared - they really aren't that dreadful - just take your time and don't skip any steps! Firstly, what is a 'Y' seam. It can most easily be explained as when three seams meet and visually produce a 'Y' shape. This generally means there is an angle involved - the size of which depends on whether, and how many, fabric pieces are cut straight or with an angle. For the process this doesn't really matter as the steps remain the same. So, lets get on with it! Fabric Requirements for the 'thread' (striped fabric in my photo): one 6 1/2" square for the 'spool' (brown in my photo) two 13 1/4" x 3 1/2" rectangles for the 'setting' (white in my photo) two 13 1/4" x 3 1/2" rectangles Cutting We need to cut all the white and brown fabric rectangles into trapezoids. 1.

He held it up. "No need. This will work." Though she'd accepted his help, the woman remained cautious and hadn't given him the hint of a grin even though she'd made him chuckle. Still he'd spotted her smile lines traveling from her full cheeks to her well-shaped lips, the same color as her fingernails. He'd love to see her smile and to ask about the plumbing supplies. Instead, he focused on the situation, winding the cord around the bumper and through the inside workings of the trunk until he secured the lid. "I'll follow you to a body shop." "A body shop?" She closed her eyes, the strain evident on her face. "I have no idea where one is." She shook her head. "I'll?I'll drive home and call a friend." She glanced at her watch. "Lexie should be home."

team. At Arsenal we have a lot of the ball and we get carried away when teams sit in, and we are easily countered, but we've nailed that down this season. The flair play is in our DNA but Steve has come in and everybody's bought into it," said Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Captain Thomas Vermaelen has also hailed Bould's impact, highlighting the important of the Assistant Manager's experience at the highest level. Vermaelen also confirmed that under Bould, the team are working more on defensive play and that the results were being seen by the clean sheets. It seems that in attack things are finally clicking in to place and that the goals will flow. Steve Bould has undoubtedly steadied the Arsenal defence and as long as the back line keeps its shape and composure, the club can be propelled forwards. He's obviously doing something different. You can tell just by watching how regimented we are now, especially from set pieces, corners, etc. It's a more zonal approach which appears to work much better. The true test was against Stoke and we passed with flying colors. Also, we don't push up with such high line anymore which is preventing teams getting around the back on the counter. This cost us a good 20+ goals last season due to the fact we are a possession team and vulnerable to counter. The fact the team obviously respect (and probably fear) Steve also helps them keep in line. Should also mention the fact that

(50) In one community, Kahnawake, efforts to preserve cultural integrity over the past three decades have proved controversial. In 1981, the band adopted a membership code intended to preserve Mohawk culture and language and to discourage Mohawks from marrying non-Indians. The code, which called for a moratorium on mixed marriages and a blood quantum requirement for membership, has produced divisions in the community between those who see it as a means to prevent assimilation, and those who view it as a form of discrimination. It has led to several well-publicized disputes. In the spring of 1995, the band council moved to prevent children with less than 50% Mohawk blood from attending band schools. (51) Other conflicts have arisen over reserve residency and access to reserve employment and services. (52) In 1996, the band began community consultations on its code, in an attempt to draft a revised membership code for ratification by the community.

I believe his creamy, sustained tone on the solos on IYCSTH is from the V. I could be wrong though, but I know he used it. That's Francis and his Travis Bean mate. I stand corrected. Thanks. Where did he use his V then? It's been up before, but my memory isn't the best...

venal individuals who seek to gain profit through peddling vile obscenities, courting controversy and offending the sensibilities of countless millions. So where you find a culture or civilisation attacking the persona of the Prophet Muhammad, it is a sure sign of the beginning of their end. A sure sign that they have become so intoxicated with the perception of their own power that they no longer see truth from falsehood, morality from obscenity, or that which benefits them from that which destroys them. Where you find a civilisation that respects and honours the Prophet Muhammad, even if they do not profess faith in his religion, then that is a sure sign of a nation endowed with some wisdom and knowledge, and of a civilisation that has taken its precautions to preserve its very existence.

In other words, why not ask questions, and test the boundaries? Jesus questioned and overturned a few rules as well, after all. Utenlandsnordmann Nope, it was my first reaction too.

we speak a lot at the moment? - Domonique (60) Dear Dominque, At present there are no proven effective treatments that could provide a cure or even slow HD down. Gene therapy & gene silencing are possible and hopeful future treatments, but a lot more scientific research will be needed before we know if they are safe and effective. They are unlikely to be available to patients for quite few years. There are a number of very hopeful medications that are likely to be tested in drug trials over the next few years. Infact, one is about to be tested in a trial in the USA and Australia. These medications are not yet proven to work in humans with HD. The first stage will be to do drug trials in people with HD to see if they work. I expect that many of these trials will be conducted in Australia. If some or all these drugs are helpful then the next stage will be to persuade governments to licence them for use. This is a long, slow & complex process that can take a few years. The delays are very frustrating to people living with HD who of course cannot afford to wait. However, there is now great reason to be hopeful for the future. It's good to keep up to date about the latest research work and also talk to your specialist about being available to go in drug trials when they occur in the future Andrew "Can I

My X had an excuse for everything and swore up and down that he was only texting his employee about work, then they were friends because they had things in common, yet I wasn't allowed to see what they talked about or to meet any of the ows, because they "didn't hang out" I had caught him texting lots of inappropriates to women over the years we were together and he blamed it on alcoholism, boredom, trying to help a friend (an underage friend!) With a problem blahblahblah. Even if he hasn't acted physically, emotional affairs are devasting as hell. Keep your gaurd up, focus on yourself, and think about getting yourself into IC.

of the book is about this teenage Amish tradition. The rest is about Amish life in general (farming, faith, etc.), which, while interesting, is not about the moral conflicts teenagers face. I am a writing professor and insist that my students stick to a thesis. As a professional writer, I often receive feedback from editors that I need to bring my writing back to the theme, instead of straying into related topics. Therefore, again, given the title of the book, I was very surprised that so little of this book is about the teens and their temporary entry into "the world." The author also seems to rely at times on questionable sources. For example, at one point, he quotes an employer as saying that the decline in family farming has led to Amish teens lying more frequently. He offers no support for this proposition other than the word of the employer, yet seems to accept it as true. His writing is also repetitive. He must tell us a dozen times that fewer Amish now farm. That said, I did learn some interesting things about Amish communities.

NOTE Q, p. 268. The Slaying of the Witness. Is it past, or is it still to come? This is a vital question The favourite doctrine at this moment is, that it is past centuries ago, and that no such dark night of suffering to the saints of God can ever come again, as happened just before the era of the Reformation. This is the cardinal principle of a work that has just appeared, under the title of The Great Exodus, which implies, that however much the truth may be assailed, however much the saints of God may be threatened, however their fears may be aroused, they have no real reason to fear, for that the Red Sea will divide, the tribes of the Lord will pass through dry shod, and all their enemies, like Pharaoh and his host, shall sink in overwhelming ruin. If the doctrine maintained by many of the soberest interpreters of Scripture for a century past, including such names as Brown of Haddington, Thomas Scot, and others, be well founded--viz, that the putting down of the testimony of the witnesses is still to come, this theory must not only be a delusion, but a delusion of most fatal tendency--a delusion that by throwing professors off their guard, and giving them an excuse for taking their ease, rather than standing in the high places of the field, and bearing bold and unflinching testimony for Christ, directly paves the way for that very extinction of the testimony which

Today, the NORAD files are freely accessible to the public - a degree of transparency we may not always associate with the United States. The seemingly endless content takes the listener right to the heart of 9/11. The files document the intimate moments of those directly connected to the events. Listening to them myself it is chilling to hear those who retain a reserved professionalism in the voices. While the Air Traffic Controllers can see exactly what's taking place, certain voices maintain an automative control, as moving as they are measured. The recordings are horrifying to listen to. In many ways it's exceptional that they have been released, inconceivable that anyone would want to relive these moments captured on tape. They are rich with military code rattled off like a typist would tap; automated, almost mechanical. Voices would layer each other as information is fired across with startling intensity, creating delirium from direct speech. Beneath all this is a doomly crackle of radio waves, like the messages are travelling with ghosts. Loaded into the intonation of the voices and the plaintive commentary there are infinite tales hiding behind them. So many in fact that it's not only their quantity that's overwhelming, but their nature.

recast part of the way through. There are differing accounts as to the reason for his departure. Welles expressed dissatisfaction with the impressionist's acting ability, and stated that he fired him. Little says that he doesn't know why he lost contact with Welles part of the way through filming. Cinematographer Gary Graver tells a different story: "We shot many, many scenes with him, and he was quite good in each of them...One day, completely out of the blue, Rich showed up with his suitcase in his hand. "Orson," he said, "I haven't seen my wife in a long time. I have to go home." And like that, he was gone!...Orson didn't get angry. He just sat there looking incredulous. He couldn't believe what was happening. The rapport between Orson and Rich had been a good one, so no one had expected Rich's sudden departure." [ 5 ] Filming was completed with Bogdanovich playing Otterlake. This necessitated reshooting all of Little's scenes. Little's interpretation of the Otterlake character would have had him using a different accent or impression for every single scene - a device which Joseph McBride thought "uncomfortably labored". By contrast, although Bogdanovich did several impressions in character as Otterlake, he played most of his scenes with his own voice. [ 1 ] Bogdanovich taking over the role of Otterlake meant refilming the scenes featuring Higgam, since Bogdanovich had originally played that (much smaller) role. [ 6 ] Bogdanovich played Higgam by doing an impression of Jerry Lewis (at

by Charles Martel and his heirs. [ 62 ] The historical views of this battle fall into three great phases, both in the East and especially in the West. Western historians, beginning with the Mozarabic Chronicle of 754, stressed the macrohistorical impact of the battle, as did the Continuations of Fredegar. This became a claim that Charles had literally saved Christianity, as Gibbon and his generation of historians agreed that the Battle of Tours was unquestionably decisive in world history. Modern historians have essentially fallen into two camps on the issue. The first camp essentially agrees with Gibbon, and the other argues that the Battle has been massively overstated—turned from a raid in force to an invasion, and from a mere annoyance to the Caliph to a shattering defeat that helped end the Islamic Expansion Era. It is essential however, to note that within the first group, those who agree the Battle was of macrohistorical importance, there are a number of historians who take a more moderate and nuanced approach to supporting the battle's importance, rather than the more dramatic rhetoric of Gibbon. The best example of this school is William E. Watson, who does believe the battle has such importance, as will be specifically discussed below, but analyzes it militarily, culturally and politically, rather than seeing it as a classic "Muslim versus Christian" confrontation. In the East, Arab histories followed a similar path. First, the battle was regarded as a disastrous defeat, then it faded essentially from Arab histories,

[ 33 ] For families, the Doctor Who Prom, first introduced in 2008, received new renditions hosted by the newest Doctor ( Matt Smith ) and his companions Amy Pond ( Karen Gillan ) and Rory Williams ( Arthur Darvill ). [ 34 ] [ 35 ] The booking system was also revised with a new online system to allow ticket buyers to set up a personalised Proms plan in advance to speed up the booking process. [ 36 ] Many people's perception of the Proms is taken from the Last Night, although this concert is very different from the others. It usually takes place on the second Saturday in September, and is broadcast in the UK on BBC2 (first half) and BBC1 (second half). The concert is traditionally in a lighter, 'winding-down' vein, with popular classics being followed by a series of British patriotic pieces in the second half of the concert. This sequence traditionally includes Edward Elgar 's " Pomp & Circumstance March No. 1" (to part of which " Land of Hope and Glory " is sung), and Henry Wood's " Fantasia on British Sea Songs ", which culminates in Thomas Arne 's " Rule, Britannia! ". However, the "Fantasia" did not feature from 2008 to 2011, [ citation needed ] though "Rule, Britannia!" has retained its place in the programme in its own right.

injecting drug users.? ?The policy of supporting the spread of AIDS hysteria among those not at significant risk causes more suffering to those who are at significant risk. The vast majority of women are simply not at risk for HIV/AIDS. Women are dying of AIDS, but it is not because of heterosexual or lesbian sex. Rather, AIDS disproportionately affects those women who inject drugs, and thereby largely suffer other diseases, poverty, and malnutrition. It is to these women that a just expenditure of public health care funding would go for both education and treatment?education primarily of the risks of IV drug use, not of sex, and treatment of the health problems characteristic of IDUs, male or female.? ?Second, women who are not at great risk for AIDS are also harmed by the current AIDS response. Many women who aren?t at risk of AIDS inevitably, each time they have sexual encounters, think of AIDS. Anxiety, depression, hundreds of thousands?probably millions?of unnecessary HIV-tests, and broken relationships are the results of such campaigns.? Women And Aids: The Ethics Of Exaggerated Harm ? Dr. Udo Schklenk , Head of the Division of Bioethics at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa; ?AIDS by its very definition is incurable. People who develop the disease are robbed of hope of recovery. Yet HIV has nothing to do with AIDS. AIDS is a syndrome of 25 diseases and a deficient immune system caused by malnutrition, medication?both legal and illegal?stressful conditions and no spiritual meaning in life.?

It's also a case of "Who knows what's good or bad" (the old Taoist parable) ... Which is a theme that kind of runs through the book. I suffered a nervous breakdown as I turned thirty, was in hospital for three months, a lot of people might say "How awful" but actually it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Maybe that experience is echoed in the book. There's a fifth character, though: Gil Ichiyama, his presence felt in the "real" world of Nao, Steve and Gregory through his work.

T.S. Eliot: Four Quartets Little Gidding I Midwinter spring is its own season Sempiternal though sodden towards sundown, Suspended in time, between pole and tropic. When the short day is brightest, with frost and fire, The brief sun flames the ice, on pond and ditches, In windless cold that is the heart's heat, Reflecting in a watery mirror A glare that is blindness in the early afternoon. And glow more intense than blaze of branch, or brazier, Stirs the dumb spirit: no wind, but pentecostal fire In the dark time of the year. Between melting and freezing The soul's sap quivers. There is no earth smell Or smell of living thing. This is the spring time But not in time's covenant. Now the hedgerow Is blanched for an hour with transitory blossom Of snow, a bloom more sudden Than that of summer, neither budding nor fading, Not in the scheme of generation. Where is the summer, the unimaginable Zero summer? If you came this way, Taking the route you would be likely to take From the place you would be likely to come from, If you came this way in may time, you would find the hedges White again, in May, with voluptuary sweetness. It would be the same at the end of the journey, If you came at night like a broken king, If you came by day not knowing what you came for, It would be the same, when you leave the rough road And turn behind the

is the process by which natural selection increases reproductive isolation . [ 17 ] It may occur after two populations of the same species are separated and then come back into contact. If their reproductive isolation was complete, then they will have already developed into two separate incompatible species. If their reproductive isolation is incomplete, then further mating between the populations will produce hybrids , which may or may not be fertile. If the hybrids are infertile, or fertile but less fit than their ancestors, then there will be further reproductive isolation and speciation has essentially occurred (e.g., as in horses and donkeys .) The reasoning behind this is that if the parents of the hybrid offspring each have naturally selected traits for their own certain environments, the hybrid offspring will bear traits from both, therefore would not fit either ecological niche as well as either parent. The low fitness of the hybrids would cause selection to favor assortative mating , which would control hybridization. This is sometimes called the Wallace effect after the evolutionary biologist Alfred Russel Wallace who suggested in the late 19th century that it might be an important factor in speciation. [ 18 ] Conversely, if the hybrid offspring are more fit than their ancestors, then the populations will merge back into the same species within the area they are in contact. Reinforcement favoring reproductive isolation is required for both parapatric and sympatric speciation. Without reinforcement, the geographic area of contact between different forms of the

People who are eligible for pre-check (reduced screening) already know they are part of the program and are likely to receive reduced screeing at airports that are supporting the program.

takes a similar attitude, and only fairly recently have these attitudes begun to change. This change is still very limited, Greif says: only two months ago a survivor he met while giving a lecture in Miami said to him, "The Sonderkommandos were the worst murderers around." It is therefore not surprising that Sonderkommandos have a need to explain that they were as much victimized as the others. "We did not spill the blood, the Germans did," says Shlomo Dragon. "They forced us to become Sonderkommandos, the fact that we were forced to do monstrous work does not change the fact that we were the victims, not the monsters.

serious reading and get your own. I've been following this subject keenly and reading the science on global warming for over thirty years, so have some experience. My work has been in science and my career in R&D management has depended on my judgement informed by my knowledge of physics and chemistry. I've learned to trust it. Science (real science, worked out by 'hardworking scientists', from many disciplines other than climate science and without bureaucratic spin) tells us that our planet warms and cools on a roughly 100,000 yr. cycle, every fourth cycle warmer than those preceeding. (Milankovich, also Berger & Loutre, just to get you started). We are now about 2/3 into the warming phase of one of these warmer "fourth cycles", which will therefore be warmer than for over 400,000 years. Our planet has been warming since the middle of the last ice age about 35k yrs ago and will continue to warm until the peak of the current interglacial in about 15k yrs from now. For about 5k yrs on each side of that peak, global temperatures will be significantly warmer than now and regional climates will be much warmer and wetter. These changes are driven not by CO2 but by the ellipticity of Earth's orbit and the inverse square radiation rule. Work that out for yourself -- the numbers will shock you.

Peter 17 November 2012, 2:37 pm Penny, the last thing I would want is for the corrupt UN to start imposing so-called 'international law' on countries that its apparatchiks think are not using the 'correct' military response to attacks. damon 17 November 2012, 2:39 pm Mods, as you are holding all my posts back I can't reply to these silly accusations in good time. And by the time you do, they appear up-thread and so probably aren't seen. Both DCook and Peter jumped to the wrong conclusion about what I said about the OP writer -- who comes from England, having more right to live in Jaffa (for example) than the guy from Jaffa I spoke to once, who was stuck in Gaza because he was the wrong religion. I've said I think the rockets from Gaza fired into Israel are totally unacceptable, and that I thought bombardments of civilian areas of Gaza were even worse -- now, because they do so much more damage. You cannot bomb in urban areas without causing terror and collateral damage. I find it quite bizarre that I get howled down .... (and moderated by Sarah and Alec), for making such innocuous points. Shame on the people who bring bile to every discussion of I/P. anon 17 November 2012, 2:40 pm Jimbo, Q -- Why did the snakes leave Ireland? A -- Who'd stay? I'm guessing you spent much of your youth

The camera has imaged the brightness range within the capabilities of its sensor, and the final image has no doubt been tweaked digitally, before the artist copied the image to paper. The contrast range of the paper is vastly less than that of the subject, and the transfer function used to create the image on the paper is that of the photographic system. The result is not realistic, the human eye processes the range of brightness seen very differently. Light and shade are the province of the real artist. An artists ability to convey wide variations of brightness on a canvas make a simple camera look pathetic. An artist does this in a manner that looks realistic. Photographically we do have HDR techniques, but they look contrived. Look at the work of Vermeer to see how he builds a level of realism. Compared to Girl with Pearl Earring I would rate the photorealistic image in the OP's link as inferior. Super real and photo-real art have been with us for ages. They do become a little tiresome. As noted above, the single most important reason artists of old didn't paint like this is because they looked at the subject with their eyes. The artist in the OP didn't. He may well have never seen the girl in the picture. What he has drawn is a picture of a photograph, not a picture of a girl. If he was not given the photograph, but was presented with the girl in the

Or they can tape it on their iQ and when they get home at 6pm, they can watch it. Because of the way our channels are structured, we have more flexibility with our schedule than perhaps the free-to-air networks do at the moment. So, all of those things are to say they will come to air as fast as we can manage. DAN BARRETT: Now, I have to say I was very impressed that Foxtel adopted that flexible approach to broadcasting with Sons of Anarchy, because I never could understand why you guys weren't doing that previously. Because obviously you don't have the same constraints on you that a normal linear broadcast channel does. BRUCE MEAGHER: Now, to be honest with you, it was history and practice. The ways that we operated with studios that nobody had seriously ever revisited. When we put it to the studios, you know, they were, by and large, they could see the sense in it. They could understand it helps protect the value of their content and so they're being very co-operative and we're now getting some great results.

I can't believe the overpriced crap on Craigslist these days, it seems worse than ever. Finding a decent affordable rental wasn't too bad until this past summer but now the pickins are slim. On a related topic, we went to a co-op orientation recently. They want $1290 for a ground floor, tiny, 2 bed with parking & hydro included. Rent increase of 6% comping in June. The apartment was very shabby and they looked at me like I was crazy when I asked about doing a little updating on my dime. Can't have any units nicer than any others apparently so chipped formica counters for everyone! Even co-ops can't be considered a reasonable option anymore. Likely they are falling behind on their replacement reserve. Coops need decent capital plans or end up going to pot. They have to plan because the buck stops with them, not some mythical perpetual greater fool farm team bailing out bad investments.

Thanks to WPP's Stream for making my little experiment possible... Can you make someone become intimately close to you -- even fall in love with you -- in less than an hour? Just ask Arthur Aron . Dr Aron -- known to friends as Art -- runs the Interpersonal Relationships Lab at Stony Brook University in upstate New York, and he has love on his mind. Passionate love, unreciprocated love, romantic attraction, unexpected arousal, pure lust -- all aspects of human intimacy that fascinate this much-published psychology professor specialising in what causes people to fall in and out of love and form other deep relationships ("the self-expansion model of motivation and cognition in personal relationships", as his CV puts it). He has built his reputation on papers with titles such as "The neural basis of long-term romantic love", "Motivations for unreciprocated love" and "A prototype of relationship boredom". But such dry academic language belies the shockingly powerful nature of some of his team's lab work. Back in 1997, Aron and colleagues published a paper in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin on " The Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness ". They wanted to know if they could create lab conditions that would make strangers quickly bond and form close friendships, even romantic engagements, after just a few minutes. They arranged volunteers in pairs,

Most people will prefer to use sites like Aweber and MailChimp to create and send HTML email newsletters. In fact, I have recently been using iContact for a client and I've found their email building templates to be easy to use and intuitive. However large organisations prefer to do it all themselves. When this is the case you have to write HTML that will show the same newsletter across all browsers and all email clients (including Outlook). Note: this is not about sending an email from Outlook . Marking up HTML email is totally different to marking up a website in HTML. Be warned, getting an email to look the same across all clients is actually more difficult than getting a website to look the same across all browsers. I recently had to re-do an HTML email newsletter for a client as their emails were not displaying properly in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010. I ended up completely re-writing the HTML as there are so many elements that don't work in the Windows XP mail client. The job was a complete nightmare but I was left with HTML that would render the same across all browsers and email clients. Here's what I learned: Start correctly You are better off writing your HTML emails in XHTML 1.0 Transitional. There's not much point in putting anything else in the <head> of the document but the "Content type" and the title, so here's the basic structure of your HTML email. The above creates

It is said that human resource professionals only look at a resume for an average of 30 seconds. So you only have 30 seconds to stand out from a crowd and make a great first impression! How do you do that? Here are a few pointers to get you started. Formatting While everyone seems to have their own personal opinion on format, the truth is really it's about the content. If you need help or a starting point, there are a number of websites that offer different templates and resume suggestions. Here are a few formatting suggestions: Keep it clear and concise -- use headings for your sections (ex. Experience, Education, etc.) and rather than paragraphs use bullet points to explain your experience For someone with a lot of experience, it is okay to have a two page resume -- if you haven't had a lot of experience, a one page resume is appropriate (if you have a CV or research background different guidelines apply) Layout can and should vary -- if you are a new graduate you should consider beginning with your education; if you are a professional with some good experience to showcase begin with that -- whichever way, be sure that each section is listed in reverse chronological order Unless references are asked for, do not include them on your resume -- also, it is not necessary to state 'References available upon request' at the bottom.

but no rain and no lightning. I suddenly heard a "click click click" sound and looked up. For some reason I dove into the garage (I don't remember seeing anything), and the lightning nearly hit me again. As before, everything shook and our house was rattling like crazy. Being nearly hit while it wasn't even raining made me think it wasn't just a "coincidence". I didn't know exactly how the lightning was targeting me, but I figured that I must be giving off a different charge (of some sort) than my surrounding environment. To solve this, I kept my internal charge the same (whatever it was), but made a shield to "diffuse" my charge into my environments charge. Any energy I emitted would be the same as my environment, but my energy would still be the same. I assume it's worked because I've yet to have another experience like that, but I do have to create the shield every time it starts to look like it's going to rain. Of course, I'd rather do that than get struck by lightning, so I don't complain . The technique is simple and the shield can be created in about the same amount of time as a Bubble Shield. First I create a thick Bubble Shield (not necessarily strong, just thick). Then I push some parts out to form a spike, and some parts in to form a spike. When I'm finished, it's similar to a furry ball - the spikes becoming so

in your mortgage payment your principle will decrease THAT much more because you have been paying down your mortgage dramatically. We are not saying that you get a $50,000 HELOC and borrow the FULL $50,000 to pay down your mortgage then spend the next 2 or 3 years trying to pay down the large HELOC balance due, which likely WILL have a higher interest rate, as you pointed out. This method suggests pulling out an amount from the HELOC which will allow you to draw down your mortgage balance, but which you can pay back in a short period of time (preferably a month). Then repeat every month there after. The power is being able to use EVERY DIME in your checking or savings account to whack down your mortgage balance and increase principle. But, discipline is key with this strategy and timing too, in this economy it can be more risky to NOT save money for a potential layoff any day now. But, in a more stable economy (or with a secure job) one can use this strategy to put every dollar to use. The key is to NOT use your entire HELOC balance to pay down the mortgage. Use only enough that you will be able to repay in a month or two then start the process over. This is SIMILAR to the strategy you propose, Peter, but it is better because you can put MORE of your money to work paying down your mortgage balance while at

suggest that Rooney has lost his gifts, of course; he remains the most naturally brilliant footballer the nation has produced since that other fallen idol, Paul Gascoigne. But that he has not displayed them for some considerable time is unquestionable. His World Cup was poor. He has scored just twice for United in the last eight months. Part of that, of course, may be down to injury: the calf problem sustained in Munich in March seemed to trouble him until the end of England's involvement in South Africa and, maybe, beyond. Part of it may be psychological: Rooney could not be expected to perform at his best with problems at home and, from August 14, at work. Whatever the cause, the effect remains the same. The Wayne Rooney the nation sees now is not the Wayne Rooney they fell in love with. They may yet fall for him all over again. They will not, though, offer their hearts to a pale imitation of their former flame.

Be prepared...this game will eat you alive.

The twisted yet adorable graphics have been prettied up and the game has the room it needs to breathe on the big screen. That said, if you already own the iPhone/iPod Touch version of the game, you may not feel the need to buy the iPad version since nothing but the graphics have been updated. However, if you've never purchased this game before -- this one is a must buy and the iPad version is worth all 499 pennies.

I've got a whole load of EE sites under my belt and generally don't have much of a problem with spam. However, one site that I look after is getting bombarded by registration spam lately. It is an extremely low traffic site and was a bit neglected which meant it was running an old version of EE. I've now updated the site to the latest EE version and gone through double checking that everything was locked down. I've even tried installing Low NoSpam but I'm still getting the attempted registrations. My initial thoughts were that there was some security hole in this old version of EE. But since I have now updated everything I'm not so sure. What is the best way to deal with this other than turning registrations off? 3 Answers It's ADA compliant, your visitors help translate books and its probably the most popular. Snaptcha would do the trick as well, but I personally think that if you need a captcha (which I hate :)) then go with RECAPTCHA :) I went with RECAPTCHA in the end. Very quick to install and replace the built in EE CAPTCHA images. So far I haven't had 1 single spam registration whereas recently I was getting 30-40 a day! -- foamcow yesterday

The new commander, Lt. Gen. Matthew Ridgway, has already demonstrated that he has the great qualities of military leadership needed for this task. We are ready, at any time, to negotiate for a restoration of peace in the area. But we will not engage in appeasement. We are only interested in real peace. Real peace can be achieved through a settlement based on the following factors: One: The fighting must stop. Two: Concrete steps must be taken to insure that the fighting will not break out again. Three: There must be an end to the aggression. A settlement founded upon these elements would open the way for the unification of Korea and the withdrawal of all foreign forces. In the meantime, I want to be clear about our military objective. We are fighting to resist an outrageous aggression in Korea. We are trying to keep the Korean conflict from spreading to other areas. But at the same time we must conduct our military activities so as to insure the security of our forces. This is essential if they are to continue the fight until the enemy abandons its ruthless attempt to destroy the Republic of Korea. That is our military objective--to repel attack and to restore peace. In the hard fighting in Korea, we are proving that collective action among nations is not only a high principle but a workable means of resisting aggression. Defeat of aggression in Korea may be the turning point in the world's search for a

In June 2002 I found on her website a little water colour painting of a sheep: a heavenly, pale green, woolly sheep standing in a dark green field. I fell in love with it. Judy had always wanted to write and illustrate a picture book and I felt immediately that this divine green sheep would be a great main character, so on June 2nd I wrote to her. Dear Judy, The Green Sheep is a brilliant starting character for the kids' book that you are going to write one day if I have any influence on you whatsoever. Why is it green? Where does it live, and does it live all alone? Does it perhaps have hopes of being a red sheep instead? Does it set out on a quest to change its colour? Is it thwarted in its quest: at one point becoming unbecoming stripes, for example, by accident? Does it find a new colour and happiness or does it decide that after all being green is what it loves best? There: you have the first draft. It's yours. With love. Mem xxx She was excited. She sent back a long answer in which she said, among other things: '...write a children's book yourself for me to illustrate, I'd love that.'

24 ways to get the mortgage monkey off your back faster By Tim McIntyre Font size : 1. Skip the honeymoon Beware of lenders bearing gifts. Introductory or honeymoon rates have long been an important marketing tool for lenders. You are initially offered a cheap rate on your loan to get you in the door but once the honeymoon period is over, the lender will switch you to a higher variable rate of interest. There are two problems with this scenario. First, the variable rate is often higher than some of the lower basic loans available so you could end up paying more. Second, you need to clearly understand that a honeymoon rate applies only for the first year or two of the loan and is a minor consideration compared to the actual variable rate that will determine your repayments over the next 20 or so years. You may also be hit with fairly steep exit penalties if you want to refinance in the first two or three years to a cheaper loan. So make sure you fully understand what you are letting yourself in before setting off on a "honeymoon" with your lender. 2. Make repayments at a higher rate A good way to get ahead of your mortgage commitments is to pay it off as if you have a higher rate of interest. Get a loan at the lowest interest rate you can and add 2 or 3 points to your repayment amount. So if you have a

What are your plans for the future? In the last ten years, I and a group of friends have been seriously thinking about getting involved in politics. We have thought to try to influence the European community. My convictions are vaguely socialist, extremely European and interested in communicating with other forms of thinking. We live in a period in which it is not possible to believe that one system will triumph over all the other ones. It is about establishing an intelligent coexistence where nobody is humiliated. That requires mediation and a lot of the work we do is mediation, simply because we work in so many different cultures. I am against inequality. In 2008 I was part of the so-called "group of the wise" -- one of them was Mario Monti, now Prime Minister of Italy. Invited by the European Union, our task was to think about what would be the important issues for 2030. That was a super interesting situation because we were speculating about market economy, open borders, Turkey and other aspects. Was it considered how the rest of the world looks at Europe?

Three things the American people don't understand about trade by Logan Albright | August 28, 2012 Photo from Big Stock Photo In the post-recession environment of high unemployment and slow growth, there has been a lot of talk about the need to protect American jobs and to rein in the trade policies of other countries (read: China) that are viewed as "unfair." It's an understandable outgrowth of domestic frustration and worry, but it betrays a misunderstanding of how trade really works. The problem with the way trade is discussed in politics and the media can be boiled down to three common misconceptions that crop up again and again. It is the aim of this article to correct these and explain to the reader the ways in which free trade is the antidote to, rather than the cause of, our current economic troubles Countries, unlike private companies, do not compete. If McDonald's sells me a hamburger, Burger King loses out on the opportunity to get my money. McDonald's wins, Burger King loses. So if China wins, that must mean America loses, right? Wrong. We live in a world economy now, which means that every country's success is to our benefit and every country's failure affects us as well. This point should be obvious when we examine the case of Greece. If any country can be said to have "lost," surely it's Greece, but if that is the case then who has "won?" We are not better off for Greece's failures; we
