he feels or whether he's tried to be kind and is protecting me. But I saw him this week and whilst I knew it was over between us I could see nothing but love in his eyes for me. This is the most painful thing I've ever had to deal with in my life - it's so acute it takes my breath away. AKS Sorry me again - the other thing he threw at me is that he (Matt) believes in fate. To me that seems lazy, what will be will be, take it as it comes... My mind-set is that anything worthwhile needs to be worked at, fought for. You make your own fate don't you, up to a point? It hurts me so much that he's just sitting back and giving up. He says I'm the right person, wrong time - how can he just walk away from the right person? I want to accuse him of being a coward. But he's not, he's a real man's man and I love that about him. He has so much happening in his life, his relationship has just broken up (not because of me, he says) and he needs to prove to himself that he can survive as a single man and not self-destruct as is his tendency. It could be he can't handle the fact that I have been married a long time and have a huge history with my family. I don't know. I am reluctant to be

to issue a visa under section 417 of the Migration Act. The Commission has raised concerns that the section 417 Ministerial discretion is not an adequate mechanism to protect people from refoulement (that is, return to a country where their life or freedom would be threatened). In particular, the Minister's discretionary power is non-compellable and the Minister's decisions are not reviewable. The Minister is also not obliged to give reasons for his or her decisions. The Commission has recommended that the Australian Government adopt a legislated system of complementary protection to implement Australia's non-refoulement obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights , the Convention against Torture , and the Convention on the Rights of the Child . In September 2009 the Australian Government introduced the Migration Amendment (Complementary Protection) Bill 2009 (Cth) into Parliament. While the Commission welcomed the Bill, it expressed some concerns about the scope of protection proposed by the Bill and recommended a number of amendments. The Commission welcomed the introduction into Parliament of an amended version of the Bill, the Migration Amendment (Complementary Protection) Bill 2011 (Cth), in February 2011. While the Commission still had some concerns about the scope of protection proposed, the Commission expressed the view that the adoption of the Bill would be a positive first step in establishing a legislated complementary protection regime. The Commission welcomed the passage of the Bill in September 2011 and looks forward to it receiving Royal Assent, after which the new system of complementary

he passed every examination with flying colours -- until he came to take his driving test. Young though he was, he was head-hunted by B.J. Kidd, the Warden of Keble, to be Tutor of Theology at his college in succession to a man who had just gone off to be a Professor. From this time in Oxford he garnered two permanent acquisitions which would greatly affect the attitudes he would take up at the Vatican Council, particularly in the drafting of the Constitution on Divine Revelation after he had been elected in the Second Session to the reconstituted Theological Commission. First, Oxford exposed him to the full force of both philosophical and biblical criticism to such a degree that the very foundations of his youthful religion were shaken. He was often tempted to total agnosticism and felt desperately that this all-pervading critical spirit should not be allowed to have the last word. It needed a counterweight, a living context in which criticism would have every freedom but would be redressed by the assumptions generally held by the society in which it operates. At the Vatican Council he would fight successfully for the right of Catholic biblical scholars to make full use of the methods of the various schools of criticism even if in the short term they may lead to some conclusion that does not sit very easily with orthodoxy. He was convinced that, as Newman said in his Idea of A University, 'Great minds need elbow room', and that

Can't tell you go, can't tell you to stay Just one of those days, just one of those days Am I too humble or ignorant? Things begun to fade, nothing seems important Oh, my girl has left me and gone Just don't want to see her in another arm The essence of her beauty and her charm The perfume still linger, oh damn Remember girl, where we coming from, oh I'm the one to whom you belong, whoa yeah Girl, you keep me strong You and you alone, no other one Why does it have to be this way? Can't tell you to go, can't tell you to stay Just one of those days, just one of those days It's looking to see her at my gate Listening to hear the phone rings by the fire place Now, somewhere out there is my girl Now, where can I find her in this world?

I think that grew with us as the band grew and we started to think about bigger, more global issues and I think with the very early punk / hardcore bands, it was all about standing up for what you believe in, and the way I see it, if you're going to be running around like a headless chicken it has to be about something passionate. It has to be worth it. You could be standing on stage talking about a girl on a dance floor, that kind of shit. But no, it has to be real. BATO: I'd love to hear your thoughts on the SOPA debacle ...

You need to wake up and realize the cost of maintenance for an expanded coverage throughout 97% of the Canadian population, distribution points, employees, expansion, etc. Once again an uneducated comment. Please stop printing press releases from the big carriers without calling them out on their price gouging BS. They are totally screwing us, it's not unobjective to say "This is how much these new plans cost. The same level of service would cost X before this, and Y with Wind/Mobilicity". I subscribe to this blog to get updates on the Canadian mobile market, not to get a bunch of PR from the big 3. @some guy Printing unedited press releases is not the definition of "objective". Similarly, putting changes in context with old prices and competitors prices is not unobjective. Being a parrot for Rogers isn't objective. You're a d*****s. Not good enough...you need hard evidence of collaboration. If the Bell guys just read Mobilesyrup and found out what Rogers' plans will be, and just match them, I don't think they can be sued for price fixing. Can us customers and end users sue or complain the Big 3 for price fixing and collusion and stuff? Obviously it'd be a class action law suit or some sort.

South Africa's 'Blue Train' links Cape Town with Pretoria once or twice a week, year round. With a one-way fare of about R10,120 (890 or $1,300) per person for two people travelling together even in the low season, it's now aimed squarely at foreign visitors. Single passengers cannot opt to share, so should reckon on paying R15,175 (1,330 or $2,030) one-way for sole use of a 2-berth compartment.

Utah State Song - "Utah, This is the Place" The 2003 Utah State Legislature voted to change the state song from "Utah, We Love Thee" to "Utah, This is the Place." Utah's original state song was then designated as the Utah State Hymn in HB223 . Rep. Dana Love, R-Syracuse, sponsored the bill at the behest of the Cook Elementary School class in Syracuse who, as quoted in article from the Salt Lake Tribune on Friday, February 28, 2003, "...they didn't like the current state song, Utah We Love Thee, that it wasn't very much fun to sing." The Cook Elementary School fourth-graders sang it to Utah senators before they voted on the change (Utah Code) . In 1996, Sam and Gary Francis wrote "Utah, This Is The Place" for Utah's centennial celebration. Since then, the song has grown in popularity with children, especially among fourth-graders who learn it as part of their study of Utah history. There was some doubt if "Utah, This Is The Place" could become the Utah State Song since Sam and Gary Francis would hold copyright to the new state song, and gain royalties every time it was sung. Rep. Gordon Snow, R-Roosevelt asked Rep. Dana Love and she wasn't sure of the answer, but someone, later identified as one of the composers, in the Legislative gallery shouted out "yes! when Snow asked if the copyright would be given up. The House adopted the tune. (According to an article appearing in the Salt Lake Tribune,

for debtors in the weaker economies to default as they could continue to service euro liabilities in euros as their home currency. Which of these two processes was followed would make a big difference to how the euro performed on the exchanges. For if the weak countries left, the euro would be the currency of the strong northern core. It would surely rise on the foreign exchanges. By contrast, if the strong countries left, to forge their own, new currency, the euro would be the currency of the weaker southern countries. It would surely fall on the exchanges. The uncertainty as to which of these might happen is one reason why the existing euro has not been weaker on the exchanges. In fact, whichever countries decided to stay together in a northern monetary union, it is not obvious that the peripheral economies should remain together in a southern union. We tend to lump them together under the unflattering acronym PIIGS, but in fact they are all very different, and they have only limited levels of trade with each other. They would be better off being able to set their own domestic policies and allowing their exchange rates to float. Moreover, however attractive a German exit might be, it looks unlikely. Germany and other core countries are not (yet) prepared to make this leap. So, in practice, if the euro is to be reconfigured, it looks as though it will be through the departure of the weaker southern members, one by

Things I Missed in the Morning I wasn't able to see everything this morning, but it was clear from the #Visweek Twitterfeed that there are three papers I need to check out: 1. Nicholas Kong and Maneesh Agrawala presented a paper on graphical overlays that are layered onto charts to "facilitate a larger set of chart reading tasks". 2. The Typographic Map tool by Shehzad Afzal and others, with which you can make maps that merge text and spatial data. You can play with it here . 3.

better he till his soil, think of what to grow, where to plant the fruit trees. However small that area of freedom, attention and devotion may expand it to occupy the whole of life" (31). I love that. So often we look over the fence to what other people "have" and spend our days coveting. (Watching lots of TV doesn't help -- coveting is at the heart of advertising.) But better, he says, to till our own soil, plant fruit trees and focus on the gifts we've already been given. So many of us (and I have fallen victim to this too), want to change the world and find our happiness in pursuits that are simply beyond us. But what if our happiness was closer to home than we think? What if we just learned to be awesome at 1 metre of influence around us? It need not end there; but too often I think we look over the neighbour's fence before the mirror. Happiness also has to do with meaning. If our lives don't have a sense of meaning or overarching purpose, it's going to be hard to be happy. The affluence of our society hasn't fixed this. In fact, too much money often breeds misery. Didn't Jesus have something to say about it being hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God? (Matthew 19:24) At any rate, at the heart of contentedness is finding your purpose in God.

is not a system which provides some ultimate answer to "life the universe and everything," where upon we "know it all." This distinquishes a real new theory about the nature of the universe from a crackpot idea. On balance for every serious working theory which is advanced there are 10,000 crackpot ideas advanced. Crackpot ideas have to also be distinquished from wrong hypotheses, which are advanced in a reasonable manner, but turn up to be erroneous and not how nature works. Crakpot ideas are examples of "what Pauli remarked as "not even wrong," and these idea pop up like bunnies. It might have something to do with the second law of thermodynamics. What intelligent design is trying to do is lay the foundation to say that only intention could have produced reality. The problem with the God thesis is that the universal state, the absolute, has no distinction. It is zero, not one. It is foundation, not apex. It would be the essence from which we rise, not an ideal from which we fell. The problem with your point is that this idea of universal intention implies a universal perspective. The problem with that is that perspective is inherently subjective. The only reason complexity is irreducible is because cause and effect constitute different points of perspective. Therefore we cannot determine all potential effects of cause, nor can we determine all possible cause from effect. It is in fact these desiring to create a universal perspective, be it Tegmark's bird's eye

anyone else trying to put courses online, is not the technology needed to record it, it's the time wasted getting clearance to use copyrighted information from the big publishers. The serials crisis http://southernlibrarianship.icaap.org/c\\... illuminates the publishers' stranglehold in all areas of academic freedom and openness, but though they've cut some deal with MIT (for the PR, one suspects), until the unis and the academics wise up this will continue. An alternative is students filming their own lectures on their mobiles and sharing it themselves. Let the publishers sue the students. For those looking for more background on this I highly recommend Clayton Christensen's "Disrupting Class, How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns". With a couple of co-authors, Christensen, the HBS prof who authored "Innovator's Dilemma", takes a ground up approach at what it will take for technology-based solutions to challenge the education status quo. Unlike the focus here on higher education, Disrupting Class is primarily concerned with pre-K -- 12 but many of the same opportunities apply. And those who say that the unions will never let it happen, I wouldn't be so sure -- Obama and Duncan appear to be little concerned with the unions and the new $4B Race to the Top initiative is a tremendous tool to spark innovation. Remember that the unions fought aggressively (to the point of filing lawsuits in NV against Obama's campaign) for Hilary in the primaries; Obama is not their guy.

changes both expanded and contracted the valid forms of voter identification. When a voter comes to check in, if his or her situation is anything other than the most routine, the process simply grinds to a halt. Poll workers are terrified of making a mistake, not sure of what the law requires, confused, and unclear about how to resolve the situation. On the technology side, we are in the midst of moving from old-style printed poll books, where the names of registered voters are listed, to electronic poll books. In the long run, this change should speed the process up, but for now, there is resistance to this change and panic when it doesn't function properly, all of which further slows voting down. Sometimes the technology doesn't work properly; the electronic poll books won't open up, for example. Poll workers have little ability to deal with these technological problems on the spot. Once a year volunteers have trouble making this system run smoothly, especially in the face of constantly changing laws and technology. Younger poll workers are more likely to be comfortable with new technologies, and we could improve things a bit by creating incentives to encourage college students, for example, to volunteer as poll workers. 3. Absence of Valves to Release Pressure. Whether or not these other problems are fixed, we also need at least two release valves to take pressure off of Election Day.

2 coupons per computer that you have. If you want extras, you either need access to more computers or you need to sweet talk a friend into printing coupons for you. It is absolutely never, ever OK to photocopy coupons. That is actually a crime and please don't ever put yourself in a situation to get in trouble. So those are the primary ways to score coupons, you might also start keeping an eye out at the grocery store because you will start to see coupons can be found everywhere! Sometimes you see little machines that spit out coupons- if it is a product you can use grab one or two of the coupons and just tuck it away. You might also be on the lookout for little booklets in your stores that have coupons. Safeway, Publix and Kroger often have great coupon booklets available. (And there is such a thing as coupon karma so again 2 or maybe 3 booklets is plenty- no reason to take the entire stack.) The very last step, is you will want to start understanding the coupon policies for your stores. Each person will have a slightly different experience and it is important you are aware of policies that might prevent you from getting great deals. You can go to the web site of your store (such as www. Safeway.com ) and look for the coupon policy or you can just ask at customer service in your store. Remember those policies can change at

the electronic communications regulator in effect advocated on behalf of the interest of the two dominant media proprietors by arguing that since the media commentators were more influential than the proprietors, therefore the degree of concentration in the media doesnt matter. Only someone with an intelligence level of less than freezing point would accept this. Any representative democracy would have had the regulator sacked within 24 hours. As the existing political system comes under pressure the attempts to control the role of the ABC will become more ruthless. In my view the strategic importance of the ABC to developing Australias representative democracy is so high that I would be comfortable with the role of the ABC being the only issue at the next Federal election."

Mallozzi recalls her favourite night being the time they went to the Zona Tango Milonga where their camera caused some wariness on the part of the owner, but she ended up dancing with him until the sun came up and was the last person to leave. She couldn??t speak Spanish with him, but they connected through dance. She also filmed a visit to the U.S. Virgin Islands for Carnival, which she described as amazing, and is set to dance her way through Puerto Rico this year then Fiji, Spain, Jordan and Turkey next year. When she??s not travelling, she explores different cultures and their dances at home in New York City where the world has been converging for a long time. A lot of those explorations can be enjoyed on her YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/travelbarefeet . Bare Feet began when Mallozzi quit her corporate job to travel. She loved experiencing the world so much, she looked for a way that she could do it all of the time. Because of her dance background, she first thought about starting a company offering dance-themed tours to

Richmond Road and the river. Meade's division began moving out at 8:30 a.m., with Gibbon following behind. At around 10:30, the fog started lifting. They moved parallel to the river initially, turning right to face the Richmond Road, where they began to be struck by enfilading fire from the Virginia Horse Artillery under Major John Pelham . Pelham started with two cannons—a 12-pounder Napoleon smoothbore and a rifled Blakely—but continued with only one after the latter was disabled by counter-battery fire. "Jeb" Stuart sent word to Pelham that he should feel free to withdraw from his dangerous position at any time, to which Pelham responded, "Tell the General I can hold my ground." The Iron Brigade (formerly Gibbon's command, but now led by Brig. Gen. Solomon Meredith ) was sent out to deal with the Confederate horse artillery. This action was mainly conducted by the 24th Michigan Infantry , a newly enlisted regiment that had joined the brigade in October. After about an hour, Pelham's ammunition began to run low and he withdrew. General Lee observed the action and commented about Pelham, age 24, "It is glorious to see such courage in one so young." The most prominent victim of Pelham's fire was Brig. Gen. George D. Bayard , a cavalry general mortally wounded by a shell while standing in reserve near Franklin's headquarters. Jackson's main artillery batteries had remained silent in the fog during this exchange, but the Union troops soon began to receive direct fire from Prospect Hill,

about a lot of things, particularly the environment, and I spoke to Margaret at length in the lead-up to this Archibald and said "if I do win I want to talk about the environment and the fact there are people who still deny humans have anything to do with it". She said "Ben, I agree, it's ridiculous. I wouldn't even address it because they don't deserve the time". But I said to her, it's like denying Aboriginal people the vote. That's how it will be seen in years to come. Like the flat-earthers. Exactly the same. It's bizarre that I'm living here now and seeing it happen, and I just want to muzzle them and say "you guys are doing intense damage to my grandchildren's lives and it's time you stopped." Did you do this painting at Margaret's house? No, I actually made a steel-plate etching of Margaret. The marks that are on her face that are contained inside that shape, I actually did a hard-ground etching with a scribe and I just put in these little tiny marks and I wanted to leave her face blank. In fact, my idea was to leave even less marks on her face, the purest couple of little marks just to define her face. It's hard for me to stop. The plate did that really. I also took photos and did some drawings. But scribing those marks, particularly that left eye, it's Margaret. When I looked at it I thought , "I've drawn

Let me provide a suscint oveview, which I know many readers of the Drum share as they have often so indicated in their respective postings. So, here goes. The chronically fact impaired Australian journalistic class have largely forgone the discipline of objective and investigative reporting, and have opted, instead, for manufactured truths that serve the interests of political partisanship at best, and activism at worst, and provide outcomes for certain privileged groups. Sadly, the word truth is very unwelcomed in journalistic circles. Saying truth is akin to the rudest form of swearing to these self-appointed dominators of the public conversation. I would imagine that amongst themselves, as they prattle away on their so important insights within the confines of television and radio studios they ask: How dare do the rest of us presume to criticise them, let alone exercise the audacity of seeking to bring them to account for the

could have been possible with early containment. That is a pattern we see repeatedly at least in the 20th century -- people choose denial for as long as possible until the problem grows to an extent it can't be denied any longer and had to be faced, costing great many lives that could have been saved by early accurate diagnosis. We've seen that in the reaction to the Bolsheviks, the Nazis, the Islamic revolution in Iran, and now the "Arab Spring" (for which the rise of Hamas to power was the precedent). We also see that same pattern in individual human behavior where people often prefer to ignore a sickness, a debt or any other problem until it grows too large to be ignored anymore, and by then also too large to be relatively easily solved. I guess it's part of human nature. What great power when someone has a strong idea that brings the person to a sick bed. This is what the christian saints have done for 2000 years with their strong idea. This is what the Queen of Sheba has just done taking on the thrones of hell now holding this great power in her hands because she know who to bring this great power to and wants to get it off her hands as soon as possible and I promise her next week not this week Only Obama has the power to use nukes against Iran.

skin samples, for instance, they were able to confirm allegations that he was drugged and subjected to a bizarre starvation regimen. Throughout this process, El-Masri's account of what transpired, part of which he wrote up as an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times , has consistently been vindicated. The El-Masri cable suggests that the Embassy in Berlin was trying to protect thirteen CIA agents then subject to an arrest warrant. These agents' true names are now known, and an arrest warrant continues to hang over them -- now issued by Spanish prosecutors after American diplomatic pressure effectively chilled the German investigation. But the most noteworthy thing about this cable is the addressee -- Condoleezza Rice. Might she and her legal advisor, John Bellinger, have had an interest in the El-Masri case that went beyond their purely professional interest in U.S.-German diplomatic relations? The decision to "snatch" El-Masri and lock him up in the "salt pit" involved the extraordinary renditions program, and it seems as a matter of routine that this would have required not only the approval of the CIA's top echelon but also the White House-based National Security Council. It's highly likely that Rice and Bellinger would have been involved in the decision to "snatch" and imprison El-Masri. If authority was given by Rice, then responsibility for the mistake -- which might well include criminal law accountability -- may also rest with her, and this fact would also not have escaped Koenig as he performed his diplomatic duties.

We believe that those powers are obsolete and should be restricted. We know that the great majority of the people, while there has been no great excitement or controversy, believe that it is anomalous that the House of Lords should have these powers. The very slackness in the House today shows that hon. Members opposite know it, too. I support the Second Reading of the Bill.

Rory Smith is a football reporter for the Daily and Sunday Telegraph in the north west, covering Liverpool and Everton, as well as Manchester United, Manchester City and the myriad other teams who make up English football's heartland. Manchester and England wait to fall in love with Wayne Rooney again Wayne Rooney's form will be central to his public rehabilitation (Photo: PA) There has always been something characteristically English about Wayne Rooney. The patriot might observe that he is possessed of that bulldog spirit which plays such a large part in the nation's psyche; the romantic might cite his work ethic, the ambition of the underdog, evidenced by his journey from boy in one of the country's most deprived areas to global superstar; the cynic may even point to the pallid countenance, the quick temper and the lingering suspicion that his diet and lifestyle are not always all they might be. Regardless, Rooney is the most autochthonous of idols. He is of England, by England, for England. Little wonder the country was so quick to take him to their hearts, from the very moment he burst into the public consciousness as a burly teenager eight years ago. Little wonder he has been forgiven his peccadilloes; the stamp on Ricardo Carvalho which earned him a red card against Portugal in the 2006 World Cup, in the popular imagination the moment Sven-Goran Eriksson's team's hopes of winning the tournament evaporated; not one, but two very public betrayals of his wife, Coleen; the

+ Biodiversity cannot flourish in fragmented habitats so green infrastructure must be interconnected. Nature and cities can live together successfully -- if we pursue a long-term vision that recognises and embraces the value of green infrastructure and biodiversity to society. In his post on cities under stress , Bruce Sterling encourages us to ask what we want from our cities. The answer, surely, must be ecologically rich urban environments. As Tom Armour noted, planting large species trees in urban environments brings a host of social, environmental and economic benefits. Who wouldn't want to share their city with plants that have been shown to improve physical and mental health, reduce hospital recovery times and increase workplace productivity? But despite studies on the benefits of fostering nature in cities, the value of green infrastructure is too often overlooked -- with engineering solutions preferred to environmental solutions. Considering the wider picture and taking broader benefits into account will lead to greener solutions that provide great economic and multifunctional benefits. I believe the knowledge and technology we need to create rich natural environments in cities already exists; the problem is applying it. And what's vital is that any action should be implemented in a coherent, coordinated way to realise long-term benefits. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and if smaller interventions are coordinated and based around an overarching vision, the return on capital investment would increase greatly. What's more, the investment needed to realise huge rewards is tiny when compared

might be gene positive but have different sized CAG repeat expansions. Both might of course be gene negative. In terms of predictive testing, if one member of an identical twin pair tested positive for HD then I would recommend that the other considered getting counselling to help them work out what the result might mean to him or her. There has been one case, of Australian identical twins, who presented differently. That is, identical twins cannot assume that HD will behave in exactly the same way in both twins. Also, the psychological impact of being gene positive might be different in each twin. These subtleties are why I'd recommend that the second identical twin might see a counsellor Andrew Churchyard I know that people who suffer from HD have a shorter life expectancy.

Moreover, a proper distinction is made between the Church as an authority and as a community. And in both senses the Church claims freedom as a strict right. In the sense of the Declaration the object or content of the right is negative?an immunity from coercive constraint or restraint by any human power in society or state, whether in the exercise of spiritual authority or in the communal living of the Christian life. It should be noted here that the freedom of the Church is understood in this same sense in Christus dominus, the Decree on the Pastoral Office of Bishops: "In the performance of their apostolic office, which looks to the salvation of souls, bishops per se possess full and perfect freedom and independence of any civil power. Wherefore it is not permissible to impede, directly or indirectly, the exercise of their ecclesiastical office or to prohibit their free communication with the Apostolic See, with other ecclesiastical authorities, and with their subjects" (n. 19). Here the freedom of the Church as a spiritual authority is presented as an immunity. This concept, here as in Dignitatis humane, is technically correct. A more detailed description of the meaning of the freedom of the Church is given in the section of the Declaration which deals with religious freedom as a corporate right. This section was written with a view to satisfying the requirements both of the freedom of the Catholic Church (as set forth, for instance, in Leo XIII) and also of

Setting up Apple TV -- (the ups and downs of) Setting up Apple TV is the definition of simple. You just connect it to your HD TV and you're away.

The "nuclear option" if nothing can remove the viruses properly -- or if the malware so damaged your system that Windows still isn't working properly after you've removed the viruses -- is reverting your computer to its factory state. Many computers come with restore partitions that you can access by pressing a certain key during the boot process (consult your computer's manual for the exact key). You may also have a Windows installer disc you can use to reinstall Windows.

he said was expensive. He wasn't willing to do it -- even when she said she would pay for the tests. This is absolutely criminal on at least two counts. Titer testing should be covered by insurance. If you don't have insurance, it should be free. After all, it's ridiculously easy to get free vaccines. More important, the tests should be required by law after the first shot in any series. These tests could prevent many unnecessary vaccines for many children. The point I'm getting to here is, if you're lucky enough to find a doctor who will give you a medical exemption, he would probably test your child's titers, which would give you -- and the school -- proof of immunity. A FEW EXAMPLES Here are several states and their exemption laws. I have chosen these because they illustrate the wide range of specific requirements. Keep in mind that, in some states, legislators are being pressured to do away with different kinds of vaccine exemptions. So, the following information is subject to change at any time. Colorado The Colorado Medical Exemption form includes options for children in child care through grade 5 and says that "The physical condition of the above named person is such that immunization would endanger life or health or is medically contraindicated due to other medical conditions."

I just hope that you are writing this from work (from the timing of the post this is entirely possible), because that would show that you are truly integrating into the culture, and complaining on company time, "good-on-ya" is the proper term I think! I will be watching this thread with much anticipation to see who comes on to say "yeah, I'm a slacker, but put a lot of time into perfecting it", or the opposite: "no wonder I am so tired, I am carrying the whole office".

If this thread doesn't take off enough, we might try to compare this "work ethic problem" to some poor performance by a local sports team (doesn't matter which one, because someone will get worked up about whichever one we choose), and then just sit back and watch the fireworks.

by common descent if evolution above the species level is impossible? Behe never resolves this disconnect - no mechanism is ever offered. No hint of a hypothesis. No suggested experimental avenues. This logical lacuna can't be bridged by incessant appeals to 'design.' Behe further muddies the waters by surreptitiously substituting a concept much closer to creationist 'baramin' (created kinds) for biological species - created kinds and common descent are irreconcilable concepts. Ultimately Behe's colleagues at Lehigh University are ideally positioned to comment on his work. The Department of Biological Sciences has posted the following statement on their website concerning Behe: "The faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences is committed to the highest standards of scientific integrity and academic function. This commitment carries with it unwavering support for academic freedom and the free exchange of ideas. It also demands the utmost respect for the scientific method, integrity in the conduct of research, and recognition that the validity of any scientific model comes only as a result of rational hypothesis testing, sound experimentation, and findings that can be replicated by others." "The department faculty, then, are unequivocal in their support of evolutionary theory, which has its roots in the seminal work of Charles Darwin and has been supported by findings accumulated over 140 years. The sole dissenter from this position, Prof. Michael Behe, is a well-known proponent of 'intelligent design.' While we respect Prof. Behe's right to express his views, they are his alone and are in no way endorsed by

marketing methods is the finest way to create your e-mail list. Steer clear of buying or renting lists. Use company cards to create your email lists, and use sign up forms for followers. This way, you can much better guarantee relevancy and have a larger impact on your company wants. If there are images in your emails, use Alt tags. These tags will take the spot of any image that does not, or is not allowed to load. Use relevant Alt tags so your recipient can get a good thought of why you added these pictures. Use them in conjunction with links, as nicely. Make certain your email marketing campaign has an exit sign for those that want to opt out or unsubscribe. Particular emails cost funds, even though it could be a modest amount. In addition, spamming is a certain way to garner unfavorable publicity at best and blacklisting at worst.

and by 1758 he was a lieutenant colonel in the Coldstream Guards. During the war, Burgoyne was instrumental in introducing light cavalry into the British Army. In this, Burgoyne showed initiative which was sorely needed in the British Military establishment. Now he began to sit for Parliament, and also serve in the army. In 1761 he sat for Midhurst, and in 1762 he served as a Brigadier-general in Portugal. In 1768 he sat for Preston and in 1772 he called for an investigation of the East India Company and its alleged widespread corruption. In 1775, the first play he wrote, The Maid of the Oaks was produced. In the army he had the rank of Major-General and with the American War of Independence, he was given a command. In 1777, he was given a command that should have coordinated with General's Howe and Clinton. Howe stayed put, a coward, and Clinton moved to slow to support Burgoyne. Even so, Burgoyne was successful at first, but overwhelming American forces under Gates caused Burgoyne to lose at Saratoga and he had to surrender his entire army. The American forces then broke the treaty of surrender that had been agreed to and imprisoned the army. It has taken many years to put the blame for the loss at Saratoga to the orders issued by Lord Germain, the Secretary of State for the Colonies. His orders allowed Howe and Clinton their chance to send Burgoyne to defeat, instead of to victory. It took until

EEO and diversity? An important aspect of diversity and EEO practices is recognising that people lead rich and complex lives outside their working hours. By providing flexible work options and other work-life initiatives, workplaces can assist people to contribute effectively at work and meet their commitments outside work. Businesses benefit from improved retention rates, lower absenteeism, and having more committed and productive staff. I am new to New Zealand and am looking for work, can you help me? The EEO Trust is not an employment or recruitment agency. We work to raise awareness amongst New Zealand employers of the benefits of EEO. Members of the EEO Employers Group are committed to recruiting on the basis of merit. Browse through the list and visit their websites to see if they have any vacancies. Look for our logo in recruitment advertisements in the newspaper. What New Zealand legislation relates to EEO? A number of statutes impact on employment relationships. These include: the Employment Relations Act 2000, the Disabled Person Employment Promotion Order 2002, The Human Rights Act 1993, the Privacy Act 1993 and the Parental Leave and Employment Protection (Paid Parental Leave) Amendment Act 2002. These Acts can be found at http://www.legislation.govt.nz/ .

book on bricklaying. Firstly I removed all the rubble from the collapsed wall and cleared the site. From the book on how to build a wall, I dug out a trench a foot deep using a length of string as a straight edge. Position the string in a line where you want the front of the bricks to line up. Tie the string around a brick and lay it down at the place where you want your first brick to lay. Stretch the string until the line is straight then weigh down the far end of the string with a brick. Dig out the foundation. You now have a trench with a nice straight front. Mix up concrete using three parts sand, two parts gravel and one part cement. Thoroughly mix these together either by hand as I did, or hire a cement mixer for a few days. When its mixed, add water to form a nice sloppy concrete. Fill the trench with your concrete so it comes just below ground level. Smooth it out and lay a length of timber on top and level it with a spirit level. Once you have a fairly level surface remove the length ot timber and leave the concrete for 24 hours to harden. This is the footing for your brick wall. All your bricks will rest on this and the concrete will distribute the weight of the brickwork over its area. If rain threatens, cover the trench with plastic and weigh down

large portion of this cost to Medicare's overhead, arriving at an estimate that overhead consumes 52% of total Medicare spending. First, his estimate of the economic consequences of taxation is questionable at best. His assumption that the taxes raised for NHI would come from investment, not from existing health care expenditures, is unfounded. Its simply crazy to posit that money flowing to health care through private insurers provides strikingly more stimulus to the economy than the exact same amount flowing through a government insurance plan. 3-Private insurers' overhead is not really wasteful. Zycher admits that Medicare and NHI achieve large savings on underwriting, advertising etc. But he argues that these activities are good things because they "align premiums with costs", stop the healthy from cross-subsidizing the sick, and make everybody pay the true costs of their own care. He assumes that a market-based health insurance system -- which minimizes risk pooling and cross-subsidies - must be most efficient. Therefore, the costs of administering such a market are, by definition, not waste but a necessary part of efficiency. Of course, he does not and cannot adduce any evidence that a market-based health insurance system is actually efficient. In fact, the overwhelming evidence indicates that it is far less efficient than NHI. 4-What Zycher leaves out. Zycher's arguments completely ignore the massive administrative waste that private insurers inflict on hospitals, doctors, nursing homes etc. In fact, insurance overhead accounts for only one-quarter of total health care administrative costs in the U.S. The

measure of probability of the observation being real as opposed to the probability of just being noise. Based on my own experience in the field of social sciences I find it somewhat hard to believe that the differences you observed in the slopes in fig. 2 are statistically really different if tested against the counterfactual hypothesis, i.e. all being statistically "the same". I for one would love to see that assumption challenged and tested by a single-model-approach... Prof. Mitchell - Thanks for the illuminating analysis. Your view is that "employment growth in the US responds to real GDP growth". I don't wish to start a debate on formal cause-&-effect, just to offer an alternative view which may be helpful: Assume employment drives GDP (ie. to contribute, one must be employed); your %change charts will then be transposed. The slopes are then around 2, suggesting that the employees in question are roughly twice as productive as the average, so the economy may be more sensitive to them than appreciated. The offset in your 2007-12 chart similarly indicates a threshold GDP growth-rate (~ +2%/y) below which this employment will continue to decline (also credible). If you can provide some correlation coefficients, we can see how definite these numbers are.

With that in mind how does an outburst of what seems very much like straightforward misandry aim to convince us of anything but your own personal sense of bitterness? You may have some very good reasons to be bitter and I hope you manage to resolve them, but to say that anyone here has expressed or published an invocation to pack rape is as preposterous as it is untrue. My reading of the comments here is that there are dissenting views a few of which could be better informed including some of your own and I hope mine as well.

deceased than a common grave marker. In the end, what counts is friendship, being mourned, being cried for by someone who was close. "He gave to Mis'ry all he had, a tear, / He gain'd from Heav'n ('twas all he wish'd) a friend" (123-24). This sentiment, found in the controversial epitaph, affirms what the graveyard's lonely visitor says earlier: "On some fond breast the parting soul relies, / Some pious drops the closing eye requires" (89-90). Gray's restraint, his habit of speaking in universals rather than particulars, and his shifting from one speaker to another, control the powerful feelings these lines call up. They frame everything at some distance from the viewer. The poem opens with a death-bell sounding, a knell. The lowing of cattle, the droning of a beetle in flight, the tinkling of sheep-bells, and the owl's hooting (stanzas 1-3) mourn the passing of a day, described metaphorically as if it were a person, and then suitably the narrator's eye shifts to a human graveyard. From creatures that wind, plod, wheel, and wander, he looks on still, silent "mould'ring" heaps, and on turf under a moonlit tower where "The rude forefathers" "sleep" in a "lowly bed." Gray makes his sunset a truly human death-knell. No morning bird-song, evening family life, or farming duties (stanzas 5-7) will wake, welcome, or occupy them. They have fallen literally under the sickle, the ploughshare, and the axe that they once wielded. They once tilled glebe land, fields owned by the church, but

There were people queued around the blocks, they were putting on extra sessions. It was pretty much an instant hit. And we want on a huge publicity tour around Australia, Jad and I. we were instant stars and I guess it went to our heads.

Editor's Query: Tell us about a time when a show-and-tell didn't go exactly as planned Network News My great-grandfather, Richard Baxter Ervin, was a Confederate soldier from South Carolina. In his later years, he wrote a compelling short memoir of his life as a soldier. Being a Yankee from New Jersey myself, I was nevertheless moved by his story and often shared it with my children, who are adopted from Korea. They were impressed by his service and the tales he told of the foot soldier's life and hardships. My older daughter, Jennifer Walser, was in Junior ROTC in high school, often serving as an officer of the group. For one assignment, she brought in a copy of the memoir as well as his picture and some other small memorabilia to show to the class. She gave a short talk on her great-great-grandfather's life during the Civil War, including the fact that he had been wounded in a battle near Alexandria, Virginia. When she asked for comments at the end of her speech, she was amused by the first response. "Wow," said a classmate, "I never realized Koreans fought in the Civil War, and were Rebels!" So, the show-and-tell session resulted in a follow-up discussion of what it means to be a family -- related by love and history, if not by blood.

They somehow must have been convinced that they weren't derelict. And so they bribed the guards, it says they gave them money. Now if it had been the temple police, I do not believe the Jewish leaders would have bribed their own police. They would have threatened them with death; they would have threatened them with severe punishment if they did not spread the rumor. And they said, 'Look, take this money and spread the rumor among the people that while you were asleep?' And for them to say that, boy they had to be desperate. Nobody would believe that. They did not believe it then, they don?t believe it now. They had no other story they could tell. They said take this money, they bribed them, and said spread it abroad that while you were asleep the disciples came in and stole the body and have run around the countryside proclaiming Christ is alive. And then the Jewish leader made a phrase that I believe indicates or shows it was the Roman guard unit, not the temple police.

on it, because it seems that the debate about it was largely framed in that fairly brief, unipolar moment nine days through the Iraq debacle. And looking forward, it isn't just U.S. power that's going to be at stake. It may well be Chinese power. And if one thinks of the language that we were reminded would echo inside the Bush administration of international law as a constraint on U.S. power, substituted Soviet power for it, we would be upset. And that explains why the rest of the world was so allergic to it. And why, when we decided to use unilateral use of force in Iraq, America's favorability ratings, the willingness of other countries to follow the U.S., plummeted 30 (percentage points), 40 percentage points in the space of three months, and President Bush, for the remaining five years of his term, couldn't get those numbers up significantly. So I guess the question would be even if you're not taking strictly a legalist point of view or the political point of view, when the American public now ain't interested in any new intervention, thank you -- genocide or any other sort, what would be the ways in which you think the international legal standard of, yes, self-defense, but no initiation of use of force without Security Council approval should be watered down, should be loosened? How would one formulate an alternative standard that would be better for the long term than what American leadership won in 1945 at the

civilian is one too many, but I can understand how it happens. The Hamas uses civilians as human shields. The only way to secure Israels safety in the long run can be to offer the Palestinians a life that doesn't send them running into the arms of islamist nutters that want to kill Jews. Bullshit to that propaganda. And even if a Hamas leader is hiding out at a hospital or orphanage, you just don't bomb such a place. It's not really that difficult to understand unless one attaches absolutely no value to Palestinian life.

Shack: 14 Jun 2012 3:34:47pm "The UK is left-wing all the way" Yes because the decline in the UK economy was casued by a collapse in the banking sector that was a direct result of Blair/Brown's dogmatic application of left-wing values of tight regulation in the financial sector... But then again they did maintain the left-wing Wilson Labour tradition of keeping Britain out of America's wars... Not to mention the efforts they went to to reverse the privatisation trend and stopping the farming out of government services to less-efficient and more expensive private contractors... Damn, real life is a bitch when it doesn't presents evidence that supports some bonkers fantasy world. Jerrah: 14 Jun 2012 10:20:32am Biased how?

And when Chris Uhlmann interviewed Tony Abbott he was almost licking his shoes, whereas his interview with the PM was a nasty piece of rudeness. You're wrong.

up to an internet dating site and i know is actively seeking a long term relationship which i cant give!!!! - so i either leave my wife to be with her or she gets a new man and i get dumped. How can i continue with her even for the short term when i know she is flirting etc. Yes i know she is single and can do what she wants - i have spoken to her about this and she honestly wants to be together. Wha tdo i do???? (thanks for reading and i wish you all well and so much happiness with whats going on in your lives - i just want to hug you all hahahahaha) Mark WOW. looks like there are many of us around. My own feeling mirror many of those on here. My wife and I settled for one another. We often talked about it openly with one another , half joking but it was the truth. We get on fine, but we are complete opposites and i know she doesnt really appreciate many of the things about me that others like. Although she is kind and generous she can also creul and very short tempered. I used to fight it, but now I have reached a level of numbness which means i am beyonding caring. anyway, six months ago i got back in contact with my first love, Sallyann. it had been years since we had seen each other. we had been together

Mobile sales drop for the first time in two years Samsung overtakes Nokia According to the latest figures from Gartner , retail sales of mobile phones have dropped for the first time in almost two years. Sales for the first quarter of 2012 totalled 419.1 million units, down two percent year-on-year. Now the analysts think they will have to adjust their forecasts for the whole of 2012 down by around 20 million units. Smartphones are doing well, it is just that no one seems to want to buy a phone to send SMS messages or call people any more. At the moment the best place to try to sell a mobile is China and this period is normally strong for sales because of the Chinese New Year. Gartner's figures make Samsung the top handset vendor, selling 86.6 million devices and overtaking Nokia which was at 83.2 million. Smartphone sales up 44.7 percent year-on-year, with Android -based phones accounted for 56.1 percent of all smartphone sales during the quarter. But the percentage of smartphones to ordinary phones is still small. Samsung was the number one seller of smartphones but it only sold 38 million worldwide which compared to 419.1 million mobile units in total.

as a last resort if Greece finds itself shut out of normal market-based debt financing and faces default. This has always been a psychological crisis . From the very start, most European leaders stressed the need for ' psychological and political support ' over immediate financial aid. The point in this positioning is to avoid showing panic which would spill over as contagion into the markets for other eurozone sovereign debt (Portugal, Italy, Spain or Ireland). Greece never asked for a bailout . I guarantee you we will soon hear the politicians saying Greece made no formal request for aid, which is technically true. This allows Greek Prime Minister Papandreou to save face, rather than appear to be dependent on the graces 0f Germany or France. The loaded gun is on the table . From Papandreou's perspective, it was important that he receive immediate psychological and political support, but that this support be backed by specific contingency plans. According to diplomats in Brussels, this aid package is in the 20-23 billion euro range. Note that all 16 eurozone members must agree to release the monies and all members would contribute to the loan. Germany will contribute the largest share, at 27%. The IMF will pony up 10 billion euros according to its rules of engagement. This plan is largely similar to the one I have been recommending when it became evident that the Germans would not support a bailout (see my post The politicization of economic problems for specifics).

In this song a young woman laments the failure of the uprising and her Jacobite lover's absence from Scotland. Pauline Mackay Themes for this song Selected for 17 March Ireland's 'Minstrel Boy', Thomas Moore, was much influenced by Robert Burns. Here, for St Patrick's Day, is a Burns song, unusually not about exile from Ireland but rather enforced emigration to the 'Emerald Isle'. The homesick migr whose lament this is suffers banishment as a defeated Jacobite and will never see 'fair Scotland's strand' or the woman he loves again.

The apartment was even nicer than we expected, and we had a wonderful time. Your service was excellent, and your driver offered extraordinary assistance by waiting for us for more than two hours at the airport after our flight had been changed at the last minute. We look forward to our next trip to Paris, and of course we would rent an apartment only from you.

Everything was perfect and spotless, plenty of room and sunlight, every convenience and amenity, including three options in the preparation of coffee, which I thought was really decent of you. The flowers you bought opened beautifully, and it was a luxury to find robes and so many towels. You can tell a lot

like a skin that forms over the eye or lens. This is not true. A cataract is a gradual change in the structure of the lens in an eye, which makes it gradually more and more cloudy. Who gets cataracts and how common are they? There are different types of cataracts: Age-related cataract (senile cataract) This is by far the most common type and affects older people. It becomes more common with increasing age. In the UK about 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 has a cataract. Men and women are equally affected. Often both eyes are affected, but one eye may be worse than the other. Typically, an age-related cataract forms gradually over many years. Many people with an early cataract do not realise they have it. This is because the cloudiness caused by an early cataract is not too bad and the vision is only mildly affected. In some people, the cataract does not become too severe. However, in many cases, vision becomes gradually worse over the years. Congenital cataracts (present at birth) These are uncommon but important to diagnose early. This is because vision and seeing have to be learnt very early in infancy. A cataract that is present at birth stops the eye from learning to see and can cause blindness which may persist even if the cataract is removed later in life. A congenital cataract must be removed as early as possible after birth. This is why doctors examine the eyes of

full of anxiety over Evie. She subsequently discovers that Penelope encouraged Evie's pursuit of Sebastian, and her resentment over Pen's influence rises to the surface. Bea tears through Evie's belongings and calls Odious Arthur in her search for Sebastian's address, but to no avail. When Sebastian and Evie return to London, he drops the other shoe: he isn't her brother at all! His mother had lied to him until she realized there was nothing in the estate for either of them, which is probably why Sebastian stopped coming around. It turns out Arthur lied to Bea, and he comes to collect Evie from Sebastian's flat. Evie is furious with him, but leaves with Odious Arthur, who declares he is not a villain and offers a lift on his way to his luncheon appointment. Evie makes her way home and then tells Bea the truth. Bea reveals the source of her irritation with Evie's going out without her or her knowledge: possessing the status as the plain, older spinster sister. Nevertheless, she declares, they will have fun once all of the stress of getting their couture business off the ground. Arthur's luncheon appointment is with Peter, who is helping to load mysterious crates into the club and declares that Arthur needn't come around, since he is a silent partner. Later, he visits Bea and Evie in their flat bearing wrapped presents, which alerts us to the time frame of this episode: December 1920. Maison Eliott is busy with clients, and Arthur

producing it and he directing it, and that movie didn't happen. It'd been about three or four months in prep and we were working on the screenplay and he was in New Zealand where the production was going to be based and he was working with the visual-effects guys and doing lots of maquettes and lots of production design and conceptualizing. Then the studio didn't want to go ahead and make it and they started sort of arguing amongst themselves. It was a co-production between Fox and Universal and so the thing kind of imploded and fell apart. We felt sorry for Neill because we'd offered him the job as director and we'd spent quite a few months working on it and it's pretty traumatic when a film falls apart, even though we saw it coming a little bit ahead of time. It's a pretty gut-wrenching thing because it happens when you've spent three or four months on a project and you're kind of emotionally committed to that project, so there is emotion involved and it gets pretty tough. So we just felt terrible for Neill and thought, 'My God, this is his introduction to the world of feature filmmaking?' He'd only done commercials and short films and then this happened, which we felt responsible for. We were supposed to look after him and nurture him and put him through this process and instead he's gone through hell. We felt terrible and obviously we still felt totally believing in his

point, as is mine, was that it doesn't matter. Like I said... the girl could have posted a picture of herself naked, and it still wouldn't matter. Lunam's sexual knowledge is irrelevant to the treatment she received on the thread. I actually haven't read Watson's post on the thread in a while, so I don't recall specifically how Watson characterized Lunam, but if she did try to suggest that Lunam was roughly equivalent to the high class, innocent virgin women of teh Victorian era, then of course she'd be wrong. But I don't recall Watson characterizing Lunam like that. I think Watson ignored Lunam's sexual knowledge, specifically because it makes no difference. Not to mention that it suggested that she had an axe to grind and wasn't much interested in a detailed analysis of the problem. For instance, while I could have emphasized this a little more in my first post, it seems to me that, as she suggested in her conclusion to that article, she was trying to portray the entire "atheist community" -- or a very large portion of it -- as largely equivalent to the "douchenozzles" described in her article -- trying to tar a rather large portion of that community with the same odious brush. Just because Watson didn't go out of her way to ensure that all of her readers knew she was only talking about a specific group of men does not mean she wasn't. Honestly, always pointing out that you're not talking about

cutbacks and reorganizations of the mid-1990s were factors that contributed to the mismanagement of several programs in that department. Similarly, our 1996 audit of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability program concluded that the sharp increases in CPP disability payments during the previous decade had occurred in the absence of sufficient capacity to analyze trends in benefit payments, manage eligibility assessments, and review files systematically to identify ineligible beneficiaries. Establishing huge spending programs and then in effect putting them on auto-pilot is clearly not consistent with the principle of seeking to maximize value for the taxpayer's dollar. A program worth doing is worth doing well. Inadequate resources or resources poorly deployed can undermine the effectiveness of the program and lead to waste, loss of trust and erosion of support for the program. Effective internal control systems. Internal control refers to the methods and procedures used by management to ensure that decisions are carried out properly, risks are managed, transactions recorded, performance monitored and results reported: in short, everything it takes to ensure that the program is running as it should. An integral part of an effective internal control system is a strong audit function, one that tests the credibility of performance measurements and provides assurance that the management framework for achieving program objectives is operating as intended. In government-wide audits completed in 1993 and 1996, we found weaknesses in the internal audit functions of many departments. Since then, disproportionate cutbacks in the government's internal audit, evaluation and review functions have

I can see how this obsessive thinking works! I think for me I become obsessed because I am constantly looking to fill the void I feel with something from another person. I become convinced that, when I feel that lacking, it can only be filled by X person. Then I feel something amazing from X person and become convinced that I cannot breathe and cannot survive without that person because when they are removed from me that lacking then becomes this gaping hole because I had been so fulfilled when I had been with that person. Of course the trouble with that is that it will NEVER be a sufficient basis for a relationship. The person (like April says) will eventually get suffocated by that neediness and you (or I) will never feel fulfilled because even if that person doesn't actually "leave" the relationship, they'll always not be giving enough, or not have enough space to come to you, or what have you. I just know that for me, as much as I miss my AP (desperately at times) the structure of our relationship as it was was not workable. I was too needy and too unhappy with myself. Oh, and BB, unfortunately yes, therapy is LOOONNNGGGGG and there is no one session, book, or pill to make it all better or to find the answer (I am reminded by my therapist of that almost every session!). Keep at it and you'll be surprised at what you uncover about yourself.

your article outlines. It is by far my most used productivity tool. So I might be termed an Excel demon if we continue the Excel Hell metaphor... The issues I face are more aligend to the manual aspects of bringing data from multiple sources into a single view -- one I can then manipulate to suit my immediate requirements. These requirements may change very rapidly too of course -- so I need and demand the flexibility to serve myself. So -- if we accept the fact that I'm going to keep on doing it -- the issue is more about the manual nature, the time it takes and the potential for error or disparity. Anything that takes away these issues but leaves me in peace to pivot to my hearts content has got to be a good thing. I think you are safely in the majority of business users when it comes to how you use Excel -- however I think you might be in the minority when it comes to recognising that you want to keep using this tool and address the specific weaknesses.

original and well thought out and that it was filled with a lot of ideas that would satisfy UFO watchers and SciFi buffs alike. It is a mix of today and tomorrow all based around our place in the universe and where we came from and where we are going. Friends and enemies in a story that is absolutely possible yet just on that edge of fantasy but it all takes place in the world as we know it. It has its heroes and some funny aspects but it is also serious and will pull all humans together along with some unexpected friends and twists. You want original, well I have one that is just waiting for the opportunity. It is about 1/8 written into a script but since I am just a nobody, it ill probably never be finished. I thought about a book but I am not a writer either so no-one will take it serious even if I did write it. If you are out there and want an original story that we can all connect to email me. Good luck with that, but to be pedantic; you can't get higher than 100%, and secondly NOTHING is original. Not just today but forever. Everything is inspired or influenced by things that have gone before. Obviously your tentative blurb is vague, but it still calls to mind other stories with that theme. By all means pursue it -- I wish I had the staying power to complete any

myself when i hear great songs like this it makes me want to even more. i think the song is about having a regular day but when u hear that one song that has speacial memories for u especially good one u just get lost in those memories and wish u could go back. So this man is listening to a song that makes him think of marianne a girl from his past that he probably cared about much but that didnt work out. pretty explanatory. One of the best songs, instantly makes you feel good especially when driving around with friends or close loved ones. :) If you haven't started already, you should. This was one of the first songs I learnt to play on guitar - It's really not too hard either. It's a great song and I love playing it almost as much as listening to it - nothing better when there's nothing on TV and nothing to do then laying back and playing this (as well as some cat stevens). If you do decide to learn then it's worth buying a DVD (or downloading as i did) by Licklibrary.com for this song. they may do a whole DVD on Boston but this is the only one I've looked for.

By signing this, you pledge that you will not vote for any politician who does not commit to introducing legislation which will clarify the issue of abortion in Ireland in order to ensure no woman's life is put at risk because she is denied an abortion. I fear for when I will have children in the future,if I miscarry does that mean there's a huge risk to my life too,because of a choice that an organisation that I don't even agree with made for me before I was even born?This needs to change NOW. Nobody should have the right to decide if somebody should live or die. For what reason ever, they could be wrong. People who think they have the right to judge somebody else, is stupid. And in general I'm against stupidity and intolerance. Jesus would never want for anybody to die.

story was. Journey to the New World took place in Strathcona, an old and multi-ethnic neighbourhood in Vancouver that in the '40s referred to their school as "the League of Nations." There was a re-enactment of a creation myth that combined the cultural stories of the participants, with a First Nations family representing the first people, followed by a procession from East and West, to the New World, led by figures representing Asian and European grandmothers. As well as situating ourselves in relation to each other culturally, it also bridged the cultural gap between the older residents and the "crazy artists" in their midst. As a new resident to the small town of Enderby, Theatre artist and puppet maker, Cathy Stubbington, orchestrated the creation of the Enderby Community Play, where the town told their story of the first animals, first peoples and first settlers. Combining stories gathered from the people who share the town, Cathy, director James Faigan Taite, and the many community participants created a story about who lives there and how the town was founded. By acting it out, they had an opportunity to express, and see, who they are together. Cathy continues working with the people she lives with. Her latest work is creating agriculture, through four seasonal spectacles with many ritual elements. The winter event, Out in the Cold , included dancing farmers, snow angels, and dog tricks. There was a journey, and the farmers gave each person a hot potato wrapped in tin foil, to

I literally covered the first half of the book with highlighted sections. You could just as easily replaced 1920s with 2000s. The similarities were absurd. Our nation literally walked into this mess with volumes of information that could have prevented this fall, if only the warnings were headed. Unfortunately, the modern society we've created no longer has the ability to put effort into studying the past. So we basically deserve the predicament we're currently in, as we will be the next time a situation like this arises. The second half of the book presents the war that helped pull us from the economic decline. The work provides an in depth analysis of the situation, and moves forward with a quick pace that easily settles any issue one would have with the volume of the work. A realistic assessment as to the how and why of victory appear came into focus. The optimist will see a great future for our country, considering the work and effort that went into the war. The pessimist will note that our country no longer possesses the strategic advantages the U.S. had in the 1940s. Either way, the read will ultimately be rewarding and enjoyable. The knowledge gained will be invaluable. Freedom From Fear is David Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize winning 850+ page dense and detailed look at the United States during the years 1929-1945*. In the book, Kennedy does an admirable job of dissecting the 17 year period of American history in a lively and non-laborious

to that and I am not sure if architecture can do it at an urban scale. But, for instance, I think that we created certain images with sublime impressions in the Transformer Project, in Seoul. We have also tried to achieve the sublime in buildings but the excitement to create with architecture happens maybe every four years -- working with Prada is one way that we can try to accelerate it. You have been working in historical sites from the beginning of your career. What is your position towards history? I think that my activity seems to try in a lot of different environments to define what intelligent interventions should be. We try to define a theoretical framework when we work with historical substance, as in the Cronocaos exhibition (participation of OMA and AMO in the 2010 Venice Biennale -- it featured twenty-six unpublished projects linked by the notions of time, history and preservation). We also try to be historical in a symbolic manner; for instance, in the project for the Dutch Parliament. In that project we proposed a building, with Zaha Hadid, which created a breach in a historical fortress. That was romantic symbolism. Recently we are trying to convert a storage building into a department store in Venice. In a minimal but very explicit intervention we are attempting to show and reveal not only one history but many histories. We want to deny the suggestion that a building from 1945 has a history that stopped in 1945. All
