Steve Madden Story Review
Clear shoey have an edgy, modern appearance and can almost give us a science-fiction vibe. The Story booties by Steve Madden are a great example of this new trend. Elegant, simple, and both fierce and feminine at the same time, they are a great way to spice up your Friday night outfit. It’s clear that they are fashionable. But what about their other features? Are they comfortable? Do they provide breathability? Do they run true to size, and are they worth their price? To answer these questions and better evaluate if this pair really is suitable for you, read on as we delve into these features in more detail.
Edgy and modern
These stilettoes have a simple upper design that has no laces or straps whatsoever. Instead, it only has a zipper at the heel. The benefit is that they can be slipped on and off easily; it’s low-effort, and you can do it in about half a second. It also fits in with their modern vibe much better than laces or straps would. The downfall, however, is that zipper closures do not render the shoes adjustable in size. If they end up a bit loose, you can’t simply re-tie the laces or tighten the straps. There is less leniency when it comes to fit, and this, combined with their slight sizing inaccuracy (see the ‘Size’ section) will make it difficult to find your perfect size.
Unless you live under a rock (no offense), you’ve probably heard of Steve Madden. This is a New York based footwear brand that sells high-quality, fashion-forward products for men, women, and children. It first began in 1990 as a modest $1100 investment by a man named Steve Madden. Through the years, he strived  style, and did this by constantly innovating and creating. Today, he isshoe designers. His brand has come to represent a lifestyle. In their footwear, we can see inspiration from both rock ‘n’ roll and high-fashion, both chill and edgy—resulting in fashion that is modern and innovative.
It’s common knowledge that high heels just aren’t comfortable, especially not stilettos that are more than 3 inches tall. The shape of the footwear just doesn’t allow the foot to move naturally when walking, leading to foot fatigue and even pain. But compared to their fellow 4-inch stilettos, this pair doesn’t rank too bad. Their uppers fully cover the foot, which straps it down and provides stability to an extent. There is also nothing on the uppers that might cause friction against the top of the foot. The toe, however, is pointed and could squish the toes, and the lack of breathability of the synthetics could lead to hot, sweaty feet. Just make sure when and for how long you’re wearing them to avoid getting too uncomfortable.
This model is offered in only two colors. There’s black, which is perfect as a finishing touch to a fierce, bold look; and pink, which is suitable for those with a softer color palette. Both are solid-colored. It’s unfortunate that more options are not offered, because their unique design would go great with more eye-catching colors to make them pop more. However, black and pink give you lots to work with. It doesn’t matter if you’re feeling spicy or sweet, there’s a pair that’ll suit you.
From the long, thin shape of the heel, it’s clear that these are stiletto heels. The name comes from the stiletto dagger. The heel height of this type of footwear can range from 1 to as tall as 7 inches. This particular pair has 4-inch heels, which is about average for modern stilettos. Though it’s not crazy high, it can still put significant stress on the feet, especially when worn frequently or for long durations of time. Additionally, since there is no platform to counterbalance some of the height and its strain on the foot, it becomes harder to walk, stand, and to overall not be uncomfortable. We would advise you to save this pair as once-a-week, once-a-month, or out-of-the-blue footwear rather than sporting them often.
The uppers, lining, and sole are all made of synthetics. The transparent panels, in particular, are probably made of a type of synthetics called vinyl, which is used in many clear shoes. There are both pros and cons to synthetics. One one hand, they are vegan, lightweight, and their low price helps to lower the cost of the overall shoe. On the other hand, they may feel cheap and “plasticky,” and they don’t provide much breathability. This last point can be problematic with this pair because of the transparent panels. If the environment in your shoe gets too warm, that might produce an effect of condensation, which won’t look very fashionable nor feel pleasant.
This pair definitely ranks high when it comes to style. It utilizes the transparent upper as a way to spice it up while still retaining a minimalist appearance. It uses material and construction, not color or patterns, to stand out from the crowd. The funky uppers are paired with a thin stiletto heel, a pointy toe, a narrow front view, and an inconspicuous zipper closure at the back. The result is a refreshing style with an edgy and modern vibe, the perfect finishing touch to your outfit to give it a subtle edge.
It is said that this model runs small in size, meaning it has a snugger fit compared to standard shoe measurements. As a result, make sure to order a bit larger than you normally would. Also keep in mind that, because of the pointy toe and narrow front view that makes up their design, they may not be suitable for those with wide feet. The good thing is that half sizes are offered, making it more likely to find a fit that’s just right, rather finding yourself stuck between two full sizes and having to compromise.
The modern and innovative transparent panels on these stilettos naturally make them look quite luxurious. However, they don’t actually cost as much as they might seem. Their price is about the same as other stilettos by Steve Madden. With that said, they’re still not cheap, and considering their heel height and lack of comfort, you might not want to wear them too often. If you don’t make the best of them, they can certainly be a pricey investment. But if you’ve got your eye on this type of modern, transparent high heel, there’s no better deal than the Steve Madden Story.
Because of their simple yet daring style, they have limited versatility. Their minimalist appearance allows them to be worn with both bold and plain outfits. They are a fairly neutral finishing touch that won’t overwhelm the attire. You can pair them with dresses, jeans, and just about anything for a Friday night out. However, they’re safest for casual occasions. In semi-formal occasions, they might be acceptable depending on how you wear them, but informal occasions they are very risky. Their heels are thin and very high—which not only looks informal but is also uncomfortable for work wear—and their transparent uppers are just too edgy for professional environments. In those occasions, opt for a pair that looks more modest, such as kitten heels or plain stilettos.
It’s clear that the Story booties by Steve Madden are highly fashionable. They’ve got trendy transparent panels, a bold pointed toe, and an overall air of modern elegance. But further observation shows that their unique design isn’t the most practical. The synthetic uppers provide minimal breathability, the 4-inch heel can cause foot fatigue, and the size runs small and is not adjustable. It’s true that no stiletto can be comfortable, and indeed, compared to some of their fellow stilettos, these aren’t so bad. If you really love their look and plan to wear them often, they’re a bang for your buck. But be sure to keep in mind all their characteristics so that you can properly determine if they’re the right pair for you.

Journalism worldwide can be very powerful when they play the long game, look at the Panama Tapes as best practice, along with relentlessly pursuing the truth as in the early efforts of uncovering church sex abuse in Boston.
he press plays a vital role in truth telling. But I think there should be far more fact checking and sadly, everyone with a phone and a social media account thinks they're a journalist.
How about the algorithm experts start searching and ranking journalists and their papers by truthfulness and corroborated evidence as a heavily weighted index that can be challenged.
Then we could see for certain how much rubbish is on the net masquerading as news. We do it with the banking system, so I think it's about time we did it with journalism.
The problem with ranking journalists is the ranking can be biased. You just have to understand who is writing what. What their agenda is. Why they are writing it. When they are writing it. The most important criteria is to think about the subjects of the writing and if they stand to benefit or not financially from the situation the writer is documenting.
Always. If you are talking about sexual abuse by priests in the Catholic Church? Why would they cover it up? They don't want donations to go down and have to pay settlements or fines. It's always about the money.
Some good tricks. 16.
Look at Climate Change. Who is writing or reporting that it is not a problem? Sources that are funded by the Extraction Industry. Why? Green Energy threatens their bottom line.
More people are killed by drunk drivers than by mass shooters. Why would someone write that or use that spurious comparison? Because tighter gun control will affect the Gun industries bottom line. It is all about the money, Always.
Why are the Washington Times, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh et al so against Liberalism, Social Democracy, National Health Care? Because their owners, donors and corporate masters do not want to be taxed at a higher rate nor regulated in a fair and equatable way. Money.
They don't give a sh*t about the Constitution, the law or their fellow man. They are not Patriots nor Great Americans. They are greedy mother fu**ers who just want more.
And they make us pay more out of our paychecks, which are artificially low to begin with, for our school taxes, health care, fees, etc because the money never "trickles down" It is always the money.
Why is it that you need a 2 income family now to live as well as a 1 income family in the 50s-70s? Why? Trickle Down economics. That is the only reason.Perhaps because there are a lot more 'things' that are considered essential which weren't even available in the 50s-70s
No stewart those things would have been replaced by a second home or lakeside cottage, a boat, vacations to a foreign country etc.
are you saying that people in the 50s had holiday homes, boats and did overseas vacations?! Wow - America was great then
is that why Trump is "making America Great Again' and is so popular
In the 50's, 60's & 70's. people were much less self centered & more forward looking. My parents, for example, put most of their 'extra' money into college & grad school funds for my sister & I. That's not happening so much anymore - just look at the student debts. We also were able to take yearly trips to Europe. Values were different then. It sure isn't Trump who is going to be bringing those values back. Heck, he has no idea what those values even are.
I was born in the 50's - no cottage, no boat, no vacations to europe - we were lucky to drive to Indiana to see my cousins once a year. Yeah - things were great then. However, under the trickle down economy I have more money than I need, nice house, great insurance, two degrees both paid for by yours truly. So yeah - I want the good old days - please. :)
And don't tell me I'm lucky - or privileged. I am not. I was able to see the hole I was born in and figured out how to dig out of it.
Ah, there is the difference KT, we did not have a car. I bought my own car when I was 18, and so began my career as family chauffeur. Trips to Europe sounds kinda fancy, so I elaborate: Pretty much the only things were paid for were transportation, and some money to give to our relatives. As ALL my relatives lived in Poland, & the Polish are huge on family, expenses were at a minimum. It's not like we were staying at the Hotel George V in Paris. And a few American dollars went a very long way at that time, still do.
Ah yes, unlike all the kids in my class, I was the only one whose parents BOTH worked. My mother made much more than my father, unheard of in the '60s.
My point Tuco, is they should be ranked by truthfulness. So much rubbish is written and lack of fact checking. The better journalists would finally get more attention because they are diligent and write the truth. At the moment there is far too much proliferation of garbage masquerading as journalism. Too many sites just take rubbish and share it, no checking or even journalists. People will pay for news if it is real.
not a pack of lies KT. or about half of what your president tweets!
Here's one for you KT - the world is not flat!!!
Phil, the social media age has changed the rules of "news." A huge percentage of people are now totally unaware that they have made choices as to which "news" to receive, and equally unaware that they pay for "news" because they pay indirectly by allowing their information to be harvested. When "news" is constantly fed to your mobile (and other) devices by your favorite social media channels, the challenge is to keep up with it and respond appropriately, not to evaluate its accuracy. Receiving "news" is no longer passive, it has become participative. The only time you change to a different source of news is when you move to a different social media platform because you believe it will enhance your social connectedness. Of course that may not be true of you as an individual but it is nevertheless the new pattern of the world in general. If you don't understand that, you will never realize that old-fashioned investigative journalism is rapidly dying because it is no longer relevant to the mass market for instant and constantly updated "news."


BUSHEY ROSE GARDEN
‘Friends of Bushey Rose Garden’ was formed on 13th May 2004 in response to a meeting local residents and a representative of Hertsmere Borough Council to discuss whet her there was sufficient local interest in renovating the Rose Garden which had fallen into disrepair and had been subjected to considerable vandalism.
Norman Vincent was elected, as ‘chair’ of a small, but enthusiastic committee focused on working with Hertsmere to restore the garden to its former glory.
Much work culminated in the which enabled work to go ahead in 2008.
The garden was reopened on 24th July, 2010 by the Lord Lieutenant for Hertfordshire.
The Friends committee has changed over the years, but it continues in its aim to promote the garden and raise its profile by organising events and activities for the local community. Events comprise a range of activities some organised in conjunction with other agencies. Regular yoga sessions are held during the summer; Easter and Halloween offer and hunt for eggs or pumpkins and Santa has visited the garden annually! Summer music and craft activities, for children, have also become a regular feature in the garden.
Jazz sessions on fine summer evenings, coupled with picnics and a bar and our annual Quiz Night at the Blue Check Restaurant have become regular events.
In conjunction with Bushey Festival....The Rose Garden Tea Party has been a great success and will continue to expand and diversify our community events. Volunteers are always needed - events or volunteering with the friends or become more actively involved in other garden activities you can get in touch through our website or social media pages.
Unfortunately, along with all other events, coronavirus has prevented us from celebrating the tenth anniversary of the garden’s reopening this July. All our spring and summer plans had to be cancelled and it seems likely that Halloween and Santa will also have to be postponed. Fortunately the garden is open so it’s tranquillity can be enjoyed by anyone caring to visit.

"He doesn't move the same way [as other boys his age]," Laurie says. "He's not spatially aware, so running, jumping, and riding a bike are all big challenges."
Another hurdle is that, according to a study published on AutismSpeaks.org, for children challenged with limited motor functioning, low motivation, or difficulty in planning, "physical activity involving social interaction—such as team sports—can present a difficult situation."
"Team sports require an athletic ability and an attention span, which may be unsuitable for kids with developmental disorders," Laurie says. "Even self-paced sports like gymnastics or karateese kids generally do not have."
"If you've ever watched your child struggle with something that comes so easily to another child, then you know the heartbreak. It's going to be a long, hard road for my son, but I want to be able to give him every leg-up in life," Laurie says. "Strengthening his body is the one thing I know he can do to help all those other struggles become a little bit less of a struggle."


llis] has actually been with me for going on four years now ...
And you're calling the new record, "Friends Seen and Unseen," your best record ever, according to ropeadope records.
It's so funny that they said that. I said this is definitely my best, I think, guitar record I've ever made. That's what I have to clarify. I have to tell him not to keep putting that down. [laughing] That's so embarrassing, and things just don't work that way. This music there's really not any best, so to speak.
There's nothing wrong with being proud of the record, though.
I just think that up to this point, whatever you're playing is always an evolution, and I just think that, for me, I just feel like it's a good example of where my guitar playing is at right now more than anything else. And Andy's gotta sell records, he's gotta do what he's gotta do.
You're saying this is your best guitar record yet, and your name is on the cover of the record, but throughout your career you seem to let the other guys on your records really showcase their skills.
It's not like picking up a Stanley Jordan record or something, where it was all about Stanley Jordan, and there happen to be some anonymous guys in the far background.
Well, thank you. That's what I'm trying to do. Ultimately you can make the music as two-dimensional as you want to. If you just want to make a record that's extremely surface-driven, and there's a lot of nifty little playing on it, then that's fine. But to me, I want to try to make a record, and have a group, that is a 360-degree musical experience where everybody is constantly contributing. You're trying to create a canvas, really, and it's really a democratic process, with me as kind of the leader of it, but it still is a situation where everyone needs to be contributing all the time, mostly improvised music, and I'm not hiring these guys to chop wood. [laughs] I'm hiring them for their ability to get in there and put on the gloves and slug it out.
You put a lot of genres into your jazz, but it's always jazz. Do you have any desire to do straight funk or death metal or anything?
[laughs] Please no. What I try to do is make acquaintances that turn into friendships -- musical partnerships -- and I just try to learn from the people I'm playing with, and hopefully I'm just trying to evolve my musicianship, my understanding of the entire music system. And the more people I play with and interact with, the better that gets. So I just try to take each situation for what it is, and if it's not really interesting and engaging to me, then I'll have to go on to the next situation. So I just take each thing as they come down the pike, but I don't really like to rock out for more than -- two or three minutes a night is about as much as I can hancouple of months ago, I received an alarming letter in the mail. It was from my mortgage provider. The first sentence was:
Our records indicate that your flood insurance policy protecting certain structures located at the above property address has cancelled or expired on the date indicated above. Based on the location of your property, you’re required by Federal law to maintain flood insurance on this property…
- I had never been required to buy flood insurance before. Clearly the section about “cancelled or expired” was erroneous.
- Perhaps because of the flood last year, my property got rezoned as being in a higher risk area and hence requiring insurance where it didn’t before.
- Oh crap, I really don’t want them buying flood insurance for me as it sounds like they’ve got a deal in place with someone who gouge me and perhaps give them a kickback for the Lazy people like myself.
- Just what I need, another thing to add to my to-do list and something that’s going to cost me significant money too.
- There’s no way out of this since it’s federal law as they mentioned a couple of times.
- The letter was clearly official and not from some kind of third party telling me that I need to buy their insurance or anything like that.
Upon further review of the letter that I received, I missed the section that says:
With that out of the way, I have the following questions:
- Couldn’ “If your property is a condominium…”
- Couldn’t PHH Mortgage seems to be pretty large as it handles both my and my wife’s condos (originally bought through different lenders).
- ? led?
The first two questions are mostly rhetorical. I’m upset that there isn’t a better process in place. The last point was the big one. I did indeed have flood covered in the master policy. So I had to go through the work of getting that paperwork and sending it to my insurance company. The insurance company only takes submissions via mail or fax. I guess they can’t handle a digital upload or any of this new-fangled Internet technology stuff. With my phone lines being VOIP, fax machines don’t work well with them. So I mailed the policy to their office.
A month later, I got notice that they bought the insurance for me. I called them up and told them that I sent the master policy. They said that they don’t get it, but that it “often happens with our mail. You really should fax it to us. We’ll refund all the money for the new insurance if it turns out you are insured.” So after locating a working fax machine (not an easy process), I sent it in. A couple of weeks later I got a letter saying that they received my information that I no longer needed to have insurance bought on my beh


It´s now Sunday evening today we went to a football match between Independients and Boca Juniors. If Boca won they also won the league title that day so it was a big game. We got to the ground about 1 hr 30 mins before kickoff and it was already quite full. We were in the home end. The ground was really old with just one side with proper seating... well for a while anyway. The side we were in was the highest and it was pretty much terracing but with bum shaped seats in the concrete floor to sit on. The crowd was going crazy to begin with as both the teams came out. The standard of football wasn´t great but as the game went on it was clear who was the better team. Boca won 2-0, but the Independiente fans started to go crazy and climb the fences which were about 20 feet high with a moat in between the stand and the fence and barbed wire on it too. I don't know how they managed to get to the top. At the end of the game the Boca players celebrated by climbing on the goalposts in front of their fans much to the dislike of the home fans. They then paraded in front of the stand with wooden seats only for the home fans to breaks the seats and start throwing planks of wood at them! But it got even crazier. When we were leaving someone in our stand had managed to rip out one of the sinks from the bathroom and throw it off the back of the stand at the Boca team bus! I was looking over at the time and then the police started to shoot up at the stand were I was!!!!! Luckily it was the bit below us but everyone ducked thinking they were shooting at us. Later we found out that it wasn't bullets but tear gas. The rest of our time has been spent partying until 6am in the morning, but also taking some Spanish immersion classes - we practice the language while we're out! We leave tomorrow to go to Bariloche for some good air!, my throat hurts and I can't speak properly right now...


As soon as last week’s local online articles began appearing about Governor Whitmer’s executive order mandating face masks be worn in public places the mask and freedom haters were out in force slamming the lifesaving measure. Predictable, oh so predictable.
It’s not a question of will Michigan see a rise of COVID-19 cases approaching, possibly, spring like levels, but a matter of when it will happen; and it all hinges on a reluctance on people’s part to wear a simple covering which helps prevent transmission of the disease. Nationally about 60 percent of Americans say they wear a mask when out in public places. Here in Gaylord I would say it is only about 50/50.
The social media posters were quick to blast the governor, the COVID-19 science and the reality around them, some claiming, despite the contrary, the virus is a hoax and they were not, freedom-loving haters to the max, not going to mask up, despite what the evidence indicates.
If every American wore a mask during this pandemic public health experts predict we could save as many as 33,000 lives between now and October. Yes, you read right, 33,000. That translates to around “only” 170,000 deaths instead of the projected 200,000 people expected to die by Oct. 1. That is a significant number of Americans who would still be alive this fall, provided at least 95 percent of us take the simple precaution of wearing a strip of cloth over our face when out in public.
 That would be 33,000 more people who would still be around to enjoy the fall colors in October, and if they have young kids or grand kids, to take them out trick or treating rather than expiring all alone in a hospital’s ICU from the coronavirus.
I don’t get what part of saving lives these mask-haters object to, but they seem pretty set in their ways despite the rest of us practically begging and pleading they reconsider. Heck, even the president finally got on board and broke down recently masking up when he paid a visit to veterans at the Walter Reed Medical Center.
In an earlier interview on FOX News Trump said he thoughr when he had briefly donned one behind the scenes at an automotive plant last month. Hey, if stroking the president’s ego by telling him he looks like an early television star gets him to mask up I’m all for it. Who was that masked man? Hi Ho Trump!
Maybe, just maybe, now that Trump has broken his mask wearing taboo in front of the American public some of these mask fearing folks will get the message that it is OK and don one when they head out to the grocery store or a home improvement center.
I really have no idea what to say to these folks other than just put the darn thing on your face and stop making excuses not to wear one.  Like a hoax. Like it is somehow infringing on your rights and freedoms. Well, it is neither funny, a hoax, or about taking away anyone’s freedoms. It is about saving lives. Period.
Whitmer’s mask mandate will of course be next to impossible to enforce but it is my hope that it will convince those sitting on the mask fence to breakdown and put one on. Hey, if Mr. Trump can do it, so can you.
It’s as simple as that. Period.

Clara Barton Medical Clinics Emphasize the Importance of Immunization
Clara Barton Medical Clinics utilize a program called The Kansas Web IZ, which allows providers to track a patient’s vaccination history and ensure the patient is up-to-date on all vaccines, even if previous vaccines weren’t given at the clinic. The program is able to track all vaccines given throughout the state of Kansas, as long as the administering facility reports to WebIZ.
“We generally provide a vaccine schedule for children during their well-child visit, which gives them information on what vaccines the child should receive and when,” said Kelci Burkey, P.A.-C. with Clara Barton Medical Clinic. “These vaccinations aid in laying the foundation for the child’s health.”
Vaccinating children is vital because in some instances, children are unable to receive a vaccine because of a pre-existing illness. Because of that illness they are reliant upon “herd immunity,” meaning if everyone else they come in contact with is vaccinated, it will decrease the possibility of the child contracting a disease.
“Vaccines are extremely important because they greatly reduce the chance of contracting diseases that are very much preventable, such as measles, mumps, meningitis, and rubella,” said Burkey. “Parents shouldn’t assume that just because other children are immunized that theirs will be fine. Children die from these preventable diseases every single year.”
Clara Barton’s vaccine program provides vaccines for all ages, but has recently aimed focus on the pre-teen and teenage groups. During these years children often experience a change in life pace as they begichange in pace often creates a much busier schedule, making it easier to miss the necessary vaccines.
“Although their schedules are full of activities, it is critical that pre-teens and teens stay up-to-date on their necessary vaccinations. These groups of kids are often exposed to many new people in a very close proximity,” said Burkey. “The Meningococcal vaccine is particularly important for teenagers to get before they move into dorms their first year of college and we recommend that pre-teens get the Gardasil vaccine before they are ever exposed to the virus. Vaccinating this age group has been shown to have the best outcomes and as a parent that's what you want to give your children – the BEST outcomes.”
Those who choose not to vaccinate themselves of their children are left vulnerable to serious diseases that can be easily avoided. Some diseases may start with fsore throat and difficulty with breathing and swallowing, but could lead to very serious complications such as amputation or paralysis of limbs, hearing loss, convulsions, and brain damage. Although these infectious diseases are preventable, they continue to result in hospitalization and even death for people of all ages and health statuses.
“Vaccines are important for the safety of our children,” said Clara Barton Lead Clinic Nurse Shayla Cook. “There are so many diseases that have been nearly eradicated because of vaccines, but now that sthe diseases that we haven’t seen for years are starting to resurface.”
“We are so excited to be expanding our vaccination services in the Great Bend clinic,” said Cook. “We’re hopeful that the convenience of providing vaccines at well-child visits will increase vaccine compliance.”

Yes, this allows the species to be keyed to the group that includes the Albibarbs. And in fact can be keyed all the way to A. albibarbefferia.
Very detailed camera angles. Nice series.
Herschel, is this a subgenus of Efferia, or has the genus been split? This was a maddening genus to do for the field guide because I found conflicting assertions about what constitutes "Efferia."


First off...You guys totally destroyed our backyard!HOLY HANNAH that's a big ol' hole you dug back there!Its going to be weird comin' home to a new backyard/kitchen/I'll be home so I won't be a missionary. That's almost too much stuff. But I don't have to worry about that for a whole year!Can you believe it?I've been out here for a year!Its crazy...
This week was pretty good. Elder Curletti and I are growing and learning every day as missionaries and as a companionship. This week we had a little talk. Elder Curletti was feeling a little discouraged about our area and about what we have been doing. He had been focusing a little too much on negative things that have been happening to us instead  we have done. I told him that we can't compare ourselves to other missionaries. Obviously no one is perfect and we all have things to improve on. It doesn't make any sense looking at what others do or what others think because they are not you!
These lessons on my mission are definitely preparing me to be a father haha. All the stuff with Training E. Curletti and then an experience at church...That Part Member family came to church yesterday with their 4 kids...and lo and behold...ALL of the kids love ELDER STEWART and won't leave him alone during the Sacrament!hahaha it was great!They are 9,5,3, and 2 and they are my biggest fans I guess. I whipped out my planner and let them draw all over it, they stuck stickers on me, and they were talking too loud!I definitely felt like a dad. BUT it was so their parents could listen so it was worth it. I'm just happy they came to church at all!They were supposed to come to the Spanish Ward at 9 but they didn't and then I texted them to come to the English one at 1. They didn't text back so I didn't know if they would or not and they did!It turns out that their kids had pinkeye in the morning and they couldn't open their eyes!So they wiped 'em down with warm water and came to the English Ward. It was a little difficult for the mom because she's the only one that doesn't speak English (everyone else speaks both). But I'm glad they came...
We're trying to get Maxine baptized this weekend before she moves to Utah. She's moving to Salt Lake while she does this Teach for America program and she'll be there for like 6 months. Maybe you all can take her out to dinner or something while she's there?Oooo!Or to General Conference!That would be cool!I'll let you know how it all goes. It's been amazing to see Maxine learn and grow in the Gospel!She's already in Mosiah in the BoM!
Madi I'm sorry that I didn't write you on your birthday...I knew it was that day. I even told E. Curletti, "Hey...its my sister's birthday"...But I'll write you a little note today hopefully. You're my hero!Way to get a real job before me!
WELP....I'm running out of time and I don't really know what to talk about. I love you all so much and I'll see you all in a year!

Lamin's approach
to his work is business like and very professional. When commissioned,
I've never known him not arrive with his work on time.
Lamin is one of the thinest Gambians I know, and he jokes
about his name. Lamin's work adorns walls all over Gambia as well as a
supermarket in Holland. His work is a stylised interpretation of Gambian
We are very delighted that Lamin is decorating the walls
of the restaurant and in addition that he has agreed to be the GTS house
artist, providing all the art work we require as well a selection of his
work for sale. He is also running the guest artist section where other
artists will hang their work and sell it from the premises.
The GTS office has a selection of cards showing Lamin's

FindMy maternal great-grandmother’s grave in an Auckland suburb 21 June 2009 by Carole Leave a Comment Three generations of my maternal ancestors
My trip to New Zealand was my opportunity to fill in some of the many blanks I had for this family. Where did Margaret and her family live after John died? How did she get by? What was life like for her? What was Auckland like?
Eventually she sold up her property and moved in with her daughter’s family, where she died a few years later at the respectable age of 79. She was buried in Waikumete Cemetery, and I took the opportunity of seeing the grave.

come to any of our events!
Masks must be worn by all adults inside all buildings. Our performers are exempt from this under the current government guidelines when performing.
Booking is essential. You must bring your own rug and remain on that rug throughout the performance.
Unlike our previous concerts, sadly we must insist that children (and adults) remain on your rug and you can't just wander around with them. Please feel free to boogie on your rug though! Dance and enjoy the music, but all within the confines of your rug. Your children are your responsibility and they must not be allowed to wander off!
When you book, you must book a bubble/rug space and tell us how many adults and children (including babies) are on that rug. Your rug cannot be huge! We've carefully calculated the number of rugs we can fit in working on an average rug size of 150cmx150cm.
If you or your child feel at all unwell on the performance day, DO NOT COME! If you know in advance that you're not going to make it, please let us know and we will let the waiting list have your tickets.
If you need a chair, please bring your own or advise us well in advance. Chairs require a lot of cleaning between shows and we simply don't have the capacity to do that! We completely understand that some people may have a problem sitting on the floor for 30 mins, so do let us know!
Audience capacity is greatly reduced. We are a charity and operating under covid-secure guidelines so we are allowed to host more than 30 people. However, only in the larger of our venues will you find over 30 people as we simply can't safely fit that many people into our smaller venues. So, you can rest assured, it won't be crowded at all!
Buggy parking space will be limited and may be outside in some venues.
Ventilation is key - in some venues this will mean all the doors and windows areg and ensure that you are responsible for your child not escaping through an open door!

and over. </s> When they say: renovate for yourself, not resale, they mean it.
I feel so bad for these sellers. The description says $195,000 worth of improvements and it's only listed for $20K more than it sold for 5 years ago.
I don't feel sad for them.
They did what they wanted to make that house their home.
And if we don't get that money back in a higher priced sell, we honestly do not care.
I just know that if I sunk $200K into something and learned I got zero return on it, I'd have many a sleepless night.
We put tons of money into improving our home. If we sold tomorrow, we'd obviously hope to recoup as much as possible, but we went into the deal realizing that we might not. One can't possibly know what the market conditions will be at the time you decide to sell, so we concentrated on putting in those things that would make a real difference to us in terms of enjoyment of the house. What we did try to do was to keep the level of improvements in line with the house and the neighborhood so to avoid over or under-improving.
I guess I posted the thread as a warning that not all markets are like designed to sell and that if you are renovating a 4BR house and ending up with a 4BR house, your market price isn't going to be much different.
Fiction indeed, yet so many think otherwise.
I built a home in 2006. As soon as it was finished, we spent $100,000 on a gunite pool and paver patios and retaining walls. When I recently refinanced, the appraiser valued the pool at $30,000. But I knew that was coming. Actually, I could get $50,000 out of it if I were to list it for sale. But, the kids and my wife and I get a lot of enjoyment out of it, and we will be here for at least another 12 years.
I have seen nicely done finished off basements return slightly more than what was put into them, but that is about it. (Excluding the flipper situation)
It's actually listed for $20,000 Less than the listing price in 2007. Maybe they DID do it purely for themselves.
What's also bad, is paying so much more than what your house is worth now, believing you will never see a day where you will ever recoup your losses, you would like to do some remodeling, but you have already lost so much that it seems pointless to do any more. Then you see all the other people who got lucky to buy at the right time and they got bargains, they have tons of money to do whatever they want with their houses, and you hate them for it. Don't mind me, just venting some more, that's all.
Oh, and I agree - these home fix-it-up shows and home selling shows have done a lot of damage. Planting ideas in people's heads that they can do anything they want to their houses and they will get a huge payback. And making buyers believe that unless a house is absolutely perfect, it's not worth buying, and you can make the sellers drastically reduce house price because of it. More venting. OK, I'm done. Or am I?
We feel it was money well spent.
I agree that some of the HGTV shows should start with a disclaimer but I actually learned from some of them. I was getting ready to buy my first house and all I knew about real estate was location, location, location. I had no idea about the concept of over-improving, no real idea about comps or why you don't want to be the biggest and best house on the block or even how improving a home

The Bolton theory test centre is located in the Bolton Technology Exchange building, on Queensbrook, close to Queen's Park - you could go for a stroll to clear your head before or after your test!
The nearest car park is Chorley Street, which has nearly a hundred spaces but there are plenty of other car parks in the town centre - just look for the blue car park signs.
If you arrive by train, the walk from the station is about 15 minutes, and takes you close to the museum, art gallery and aquarium. You need to head west along Trinity Street for a short while and then turn right onto Black Horse Street. At the end of the road (when you reach the crossroads), turn left onto Spa Road, and then right onto Queensbrook. A few local buses stop on Spa Street.
Bolton has a 58.3% pass rate. This rose gradually between December 2011 and March 2012. Over 60% of women pass their theory test at Bolton theory test centre, compared to around 55% of men.
let us take the hassle away for you - all you need is your driving licence number and your debit card.

AT&T medical insurance. My husband has heart risk, and his medications run over $1,500 a month. Without the insurance, we would not have been able to purchase his medication. In addition, I collected unemployment. My husband never collected unemployment when he was terminated from his corporate job because I had enough income to support us. I received $250 a week from Florida (the maximum) until it ran out. My husband was forced to take early Social Security when he turned 62. After looking, every day, for employment I filed for disability benefits. I had no choice. The benefits were denied twice. During that time, I continued to look for work. In March, 2011, the government approved the Social Security Disability benefits.
We never expected to be in this situation. We had savings in our 401K’s. We invested in real estate. We never thought our life’s savings would be wiped out by two and a half years of unemployment. We never expected to retire at such a young age.
I lost my job in December 2008. Two and half years later, my husband still works his seasonal ski valet job. I still fill out many applications for employment each week, hoping I will find the right opportunity. My husband collects Social Security and I collect Social Security Disability. We don’t tell anyone we do this, but it is the only way we can survive. We are penniless. We own the condo we live in, but we have a $10,300 special assessment pending. We will have to take a reverse mortgage to pay it.
When the government encourages people to work until they are 70, they forget that working is sometimes out of the individual’s control. We expected to work at least another 10 years. We feel lucky that we feel young, strong and healthy. We hope that when the economy turns around we will again be able to find employment, Until then, we have no choice but to take the government benefits. Sib M., via email
I started out as an accountant at a law firm that started downsizing in early 2008. I was fortunate enough to find another job but it was a temp-to-hire. Since the economy got worries I never got hired and the department I was working in was outsourced. This was the start of my three year journey of being unemployed.
The hardest thing about being out of work so long was never having a consistent check. Each temp assignment was different by pay and length of assignment. The most I made was $26/hr the least $8/hr. Some lasted 6 months others only a day or just a few hours.
There was a number things that kept me from getting jobs besides not having one:
1. The amount of jobs I had in such a short period of time would make companies ask, “How is it that you have had so many jobs but you never been hired?”
2. They never wanted to pay the finders fee from the temp agency, so a lot of times I would be on jobs while they did interviews and trained new people for the job I was already doing.
3. When I would apply for jobs that were well below what I used to make, employers would see my degree and work history and tell me I was over qualified for the position. I had one experience where I did a phone interview and when I was invited to come down to talk to the manager, as soon as I walked through the door he began apologizing to me. Saying, “I’m sorry to have you come down here but you are way to over qualified for this position.” Pretty much was shown the way out before the elevator I was on closed its doors.
The jobless benefits were very helpful in filling in the gaps of when I would go long periods of time with no work. I never did get a chance to exhaust them. But I did take full advantage of all the government programs that were available that I would qualify for such as WIC and many other programs provided by utility companies for low income families.
Yes competition is tough, its to the point companies become really picky and start dismissing good workers for the silliest things. I remember temping for one company where the hiring manager didn’t like the car the person was driving, or the shoes they were wearing.
In the end, after three long years, I was able to find a job.
I pretty much signed up with every temp agency in my area and I took any job they gave me. Temp agencies have a list of who are good workers and who are not. To get on the top of the good worker list you need take any job they give you, no matter how much you hate it, and just do your best. Overtime they will keep calling you for more and more work. This is what helped me to support my family and it extended my unemployment benefits for over three years without filling for an extension.
The easiest way to find work is to not lock yourself in to only being able to do one thing.
My work history shows accounting, but the three years I was out of work I did electrical, car detailing, small business consultant, auto mechanics, baking, and construction. Never think you are too big for any job, also look at certain hobbies you have, you never know you maybe able to make money off of it.
Most of the things I did I knew nothing about—like electrical work I knew someone who did it and I was his helper. Car detailing—a major car wax company has free classes on the weekends that teach you how to detail a car, and auto mechanics I used YouTube to learn how to do basic auto repairs.
Think outside the box and never be afraid to ask for help or use any government assistance program. You have to remember when you were working you paid taxes into those programs so you have every right to use them.
Mason B., via email
I was working as a customer service rep at Time Warner Cable for three years when they began downsizing and restructuring. They moved the call center that I worked at to another city in Wisconsin, so I lost my Job I haven’t been able to find any job since then.
I lost that job back in June 2010 so it’s been exactly a year that I’ve been out of work. is that you are scared all the time about where your money is going to come from, about being homeless or possibly having to live with relatives, and overall its depressing, you feel hopeless and worthless.
I am getting unemployment which is below what I could make if I was working, but that has some difficulties as well, they are always holding your benefits back for some frivolous reason or another, and that’s really hard to depend on. I need security and I don’t want to rely on unemployment benefits anymore, I know won’t get the benefits forever and that’s what worries me.
Recently I’ve been applying to jobs that I’m over-qualified for like at a grocery store or a coffee shop, I’m at the end of my rope here. Still I’ve been getting responses like, “We found a better match for this job,” so I wonder if I’m ever going to work again?
It’s even hard to get temp jobs now. This is the longest I have ever been out of work, I am still looking for work right now, I have been on a few interviews recently but I haven’t heard anything so far, so we’ll see.
I’m not very sure what can be done to help the thousands of unemployed people, but I know what shouldn’t be done: they are trying to cut unemployment extensions in Wisconsin, and if that happens 100s of people will be homeless, so they should definitely stop that action from taking place.

I’m 38. Have a 3 year-old-son. I have a Masters and Bachelors in social science (my first mistake) and I wonder why I ever got an education.
I was working as a project specialist in Jacksonville, Florida as a full-time employee for about a year when I bought a house (my second mistake) Suddenly I was laid off. They (the same bank) brought me back on as a contractor, long enough for me to save some money, and I was laid off again.
From April of 2009 until October of 2009, I applied for unemployment and in the state of Florida, at the time it was $275/week. Obama passed a bill and gave us an extra $25 dollars a week. Thanks for that. It was money, but I was slowly losing the battle.
I left Jacksonville, Florida moved back to St. Louis, Missouri, in hopes of finding a job and rented out the house in Jacksonville for less/a month than what I owed. Because I didn’t and still don’t want to foreclose. However at this point I’m not sure I have a choice. Taxes went up


- Accountable for following organizational rules, policies, and procedures.
- A
- Accountable for being a team player and collaborator.
…and the list goes on. You get the point.
I sometimes wonder if when employees say, “My manager is out to get me.”, they really mean, “My manager is holding me accountable. And I don’t like it.” I know accountability is easy when we do something awesome and less easy when we don’t. As employees, we need to realize that accountability conversations will happen.

Paying tribute to the late legend, MLB Network tweeted a montage of memorable clips of some of the best moments of Brock's glorious career.
In 2017, Brock. Back then, he released a statement saying he wlooked forward to witnessing more Cardinals World Series championships in the future.
Brock initially started his career with the Chicago Clubs.
THE MEDICAL FOES HE BATTLED
Before he suffered from chronic diseases, the baseball legend survived a stroke and also battled a heart ailment. Despite the health complications, Brock persisted.
Former Cardinals catcher Tim McCarver compared him to baseball legend Bob Gibson, saying that Brock would have been the toughest guy he ever saw if Gibson was not in the National League.

The 14th player in the history of baseball to reach 3000 hits, Brock led the Cardinals to win the first World Series title since 1946. May his soul rest in peace.


Since I work so far from home I take a lot of things with me on a daily basis that many people wouldn't necessarily take with them. I need my meals with me for the day as well as clothes to go for my lunchtime walk, medical items and schoolbooks to study on work breaks or while waiting for people to arrive at an after work activity I participate in. I think the best when I am not overly fatigued so I am not always at my best come evening for studying and therefore like to fit in a little whenever I can. If you meal prep for strength gains and go to the gym before or after work you might end up packing similar to this. You might also pack like this if you have a lot of food allergies or are trying to save money by meal prepping and live a very active lifestyle where you are out of the house for the majority of the day and evening. When I pack for a workday I usually end up packing at least half of my daily meals (depending on the day possibly all of my meals) in a lunchbox, at least one schoolbook, notebook, pens and a highlighter, workout clothes, jogging shoes, medical supplies, toiletries and chargers for my electronics. I don't take my laptop as it won't fit in my bag. I normally pack my bag the evening before so that everything is ready and I just have to grab my lunchbox out of the fridge, toss in the icepacks and head out. Depending on the meal plan for the week I may scramble some eggs fresh while I am getting ready for work.
You can see that my scrambled eggs container is empty in the photo above. I also have a container of nuts that isn't always in my bag, depending on the week's plan and the day, pictured here.
Lunch: soup and fresh veggies with homemade salad dressing
Dinner: chicken thigh with salad and zucchini
For the Office (for the week): mixed nuts, seeds, and a protein bar (organic, no extra junk added)
I have three small bags that fit inside the front compartments of my backpack.
The smallest contains my makeup for work.
The medium has the charging cables that I use when I am out and about as well as a spare set of re-chargeable batteries and mini usb charger for them.
Everything fits inside one bag this way (barely) and I don't have to worry about lugging around multiple bags... which I can't really do all that well. On the side pockets I put my water bottle and my green smoothie. If I decide to bring tea then I can carry that pretty easily- I don't put bottles, even hard bottles like the ones I use, inside after an issue I had with an exploding smoothie...
When it comes to after work activities I don't pack them into this bag as they don't fit and there really is no reason to do so. I pack for the week's activities on the weekend like so:
This bag was a gift and is wonderful for what it is- a laptop backpack- but it doesn't really do everything that I need it to do so I have been looking at getting a meal management backpack such as the Isopack or Expedition 500. I will likely still use this bag if I don't need to pack meals as I think it is really well made and has a ton of storage areas. One of the things that I need it to do is hold the rest of my medical odds and ends so that I can stop carrying a purse on workdays... I can't really leave them in the car as the heat can cause issues with them and replacing them can get quite expensive. There has been a lot of review watching and reading, comparison shopping, and debate on which bag I will get but I think I am just about ready to make a purchase. Since it is a larger purchase I will be cutting back in some other areas for a while on my budget to pay for it but I think it will be worth it in the end. Once I make my final decision and use the bag for a while I will do a review of the new backpack. Feel free to put any comments in the bottom if you already own a meal management backpack that you own and love/hate... I'm always open to more information when making a larger purchase like this! The two that I am currently spending most of my focus on are below:


“Each time astronomers were able to open a new window, the universe showed a new face,” he said. “Now that we are about to open up the gravitational wave window, we should again see a whole new different view of the universe.”
Einstein explored the forces of gravity in his general relativity theory, predicting phenomena like black holes and gravitational radiation long before they could be proved. It is not until now, more than 90 years later, that scientists have managed to test these, back then inconceivable, predictions, Centrella said. “This has been a holy grail quest for the last 30 years.”


Yesterday's weather was just plain weird. Unseasonably hot (upper 70s), so windy that at one point I caught myself staring up at the hillside of leafleses trees above the barn, wondering how it could sound like a gigantic waterfall. Stormclouds blew across the sky at record speeds. A few of them finally slowed down in the middle of the night--long enough to drop a fair amount of rain on the farm, waking me with the comforting sound of raindrops splattering onto our old tin roof.
If you are only going to buy one edible gardening book, I encourage you to make it this one. It also makes a great gift. Need more convincing? Here's my original review:
It's packed with practical information for gardeners of all levels, and manages to skillfully cover such wide-ranging topics as building raised beds and trellises, choosing a seed supplier, taking a soil sample, and making homemade bug spray—all in a highly approachable manner that is interesting and fun to read.
Along with detailed sections for each plant on sowing and growing, harvesting and storing, and the best varieties, there are helpful tips and a quick-reference "sow and grow" sidebox that lists everything from sowing dates and nutrient requirements to good and bad companions, rotation considerations, and seed longevity.

As you can see, I'm all set to go with my three varieties of onion sets. As long as your ground isn't still frozen, you can safely start your onions anytime now, but you really should do it on Friday or Saturday. They're very hardy and once sprouted will survive even hard frosts (we're still having morning temperatures in the low 20s) with no problems. Onions are a wonderful addition to any garden, and they can be popped into even the smallest spaces.
So why do I buy onion sets rather than starting them from seed (like everything else in my garden)? The answer to this question is in one of the first articles I posted on Farmgirl Fare back in June of 2005, "Onions In The Garden," which also includes photos, planting instructions, and some newly added growing tips. Just click here to read it.
Garlic Is Hardy, It Should Recover Just Fine
And Kohlrabi's Hardy, Too, Right?
Note to self: Just because the calendar says 'spring,' doesn't mean you should blow off covering up newly sprouted plants in the garden.

March 17th, 18th, and 19th were all fertile days in the third quarter, so I was busy planting and transplanting. Fortunately the weather cooperated most of the time.
--Orange Bell (my 2005 seeds)
--My favorite huge sweet red pepper Aconcagua (my 2005 seeds)
--Thai Pink Egg, incredibly prolific last year (mine 2005)
--Kellogg's Breakfast giant orange tomatoes (Baker Creek 2005 seeds)
--Arkansas Traveler, medium sized pink (BC 2003 seeds)
--English Moneymaker, good in greenhouses (BC 2003 seeds)
--Orange Banana, so sweet last year (mine 2005)
--My Secret New Hybrid (2005 seeds)
Note: All seedlings (before transplanting) had major growth spurts when I started watering them with llama manure tea.
--Direct seeded lettuces had great germination rate. Have them in mini greenhouse plot, just covered with an old sheet (Joe calls it the covered wagon plot) . Have removed all other sheets and blankets from plots as we have had milder temps and rain. 20s predicted this week, though, so may need to re-cover turnips, Spanish black radish, pathetic looking chard plants (something has been eating them!), and strawberries.
--Purple kohlrabi seeds came up like crazy, but the cold season greens in that plot have yet to sprout (mache, Bloomsdale Longstanding spinach, New Zealand spinach). Why do I still insist upon trying to grow spinach? Why? (Note to self: remember the definition of insanity--doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.)
--Lilacs are budding. Tiny sucker plants I put into little pots 5 years ago and never got around to transplanting are now about four feet high, growing straight through their pots into the ground, and no doubt cannot be moved from their odd location in the midst of the compost bins. They even have tiny flowers on them this year! Oh well, I'll take lilacs anywhere I can get them. Must really think about trying to move them, though. But to where?
--Volunteer arugula (rocket) coming up like crazy in greenhouse since I thought to water the entire bed. Yay! Chard and beets survived winter and are starting to grow again. So dark green and purple. They loved the llama pellets I scattered all over the bed.

The finished greenhouse in April 2003

When Spring And Snow Are Both Predicted
Our weather is anything but predictable. Spring may officially start tomorrow, but sleet and snow and freezing temperatures are also in the forecast. So after transplanting about 150 tender tomato and pepper seedlings into individual containers yesterday, and then realizing there was no way they would all fit under my one four-foot fluorescent plant light in the house, we created a temporary mini greenhouse inside my 8-foot by 22-foot homemade greenhouse. (Click here for a peek at my potting bench and tips on starting your own seeds.)
A two-tiered plant stand was simply covered with thick plastic and clamped to the sides of the structure. There are cardboard "walls" on the left and right, and a large piece of cardboard under the bottom shelf (not visible in the photo). Also tucked under the bottom shelf is a radiator type space heater set on low (600 watts). These are very safe, fairly inexpensive to run, and even have an automatic thermostat so I can just leave it on all the time.
Today is cold and cloudy so I am keeping the mini greenhouse closed up, but when the sun pokes out, I will simply roll up the plastic during the day and roll it back down at night.
Note: This is my entry for Weekend Herb Blogging #24, a deliciously informative event hosted by Kalyn's Kitchen. Food bloggers from around the world participate, and you never know what interesting new edibles you'll discover each week in the Sunday night roundup.

’re going to pay five figures to market to this audience, you’re not very smart if you give a boring sales pitch. What you really need to do is show something of interest, or you’re wasting your money. And I say this as someone who convinced my company, eBay, to sponsor eTech.
Now, you can quibble about whether O’Reilly should try and make money on their conferences or if they should act as a non-profit, but the fact of the matter is that they’re a business and conferences of this size (1000-1500 people) are surprisingly expensive.
At the end of the day, if people don’t want to come, they don’t want to come, and O’Reilly will need to shift the conference to an alternative model. Unless, of course, peoples’ clients force them to come.
Well, I must be ripping them off, because I’m giving a keynote and I didn’t pay anything.
Also — tickets are $1000, not $2500.

Sponsors are part of most conferences now. It’s important to keep them out of the main tent if they don’t have the speakers and content to deserve the time. Giving them a 45-minute breakout attendees can go to if they want is always fine.
The O’Reilly conference is very inexpensive compared to others like PC Forum and I still think it is one of the best for getting some techology input and networking. I agree they have to work harder on the next one though or they could lose their audience.

You shoot,they come back, you shoot, they come back, next level....User Rating: 3 | Dead to Rights II PS2By Domenico54 | Review Date: February 27, 2008 This game was O.K. the first three levels but they after that it was kinda the same thing two levels of shooting random bad guys and on third more bad guys and a simple boss. Thats terrible. Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. No minigames,only seven weapons,and thecombat moves are downright terrible. Then after you wait a while you can call your dog to get you a kill. there has to be more than that. I did nine levels of that and I was happy it was only 10 bucks from a friend. Then there was the super boss that takes three to six bites from your dog to kill. All i did was flee till I could call it again then have take a chomp out of the boss. The bad guys are idiots, you could run in circles in a room with a guard in it, they will miss everytime then run to the next room. They'll act like nothing happened and keep patroling, and so forth you get to the boss take three to six dog bites to kill him and then he would die. Of the nine levels I played that was what happened. I recomend you pass on this game, and get Max Payne or a better made game. The stats id give to this game is a 4 to gameplay 5 to graphics 4 to tilt and a 2 to value, adding to a grand perentage of 4.0.


Denver Woman Wins 2012 B’nai B’rith Outstanding Young Leader Award
September 13, 2012 by President
REBECCA SALTZMAN OF DENVER WINS 2012 B’NAI B’RITH
OUTSTANDING YOUNG LEADER AWARD
(Washington, D.C., Sept. 9, 2012)—Rebecca Saltzman of Denver has earned the 2012Saltzman received her award at B’nai B’rith’s 2012 policy conference on Sept. 9 in Washington, D.C.
The honor has proven a good measure of future achievement in B’nai B’rith, as many presidents and top organizational leaders have won the Label A. Katz award.
Saltzman is a second generation Label A. Katz winner; her father, Gary P. Saltzman, received the award in 1989. Rebecca and Gary are the only legacy pair to win the award. Growing up in a B’nai B’rith family set Rebecca Saltzman on a path to become a Jewish leader in her community. Throughout her time serving the organization she has increasingly taken on programs, initiatives and leaderDenver Lodge, Saltzman has worked with the city’s homeless, organizing a gift box program for people to sponsor homeless families at Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, and starting an annual underwear drive for those less fortunate. She serves on the lodge’s board of directors as chair of the Young Professional & Outreach Committee and as vice president of programming. Saltzman also has played a significant role increasing membership, and boosting fundraising and programming.
Saltzman was appointed to the B’nai B’rith Board of Governors in 2009 and has been actively involved in the National Young Professional Network, Marketing Committee and Leadership Committee. She has also been a B’nai B’rith delegate to the World Zionist Organization in Jerusalem.
Saltzman resides in Colorado where she iadoption issues and life transitions.
Other winners of the 2012 Label A. Katz Award are: Ralph Attie of, Panama; Edwige Ouaknine of Lev, France; Jorge Silberberg of Montevideo, Uruguay.


The SPPDG found itself in need of specialized electronic computer aided design (ECAD) tools to assist in the design and simulation of high performance non-silicon digital integrated circuits (ICs), gallium arsenide , printed wiring board (PWB), and multichip module (MCM) design available in-house.
One important component of high clock rate system design is attention to the details of the electronic packaging into which the high performance integrated circuits are installed. Mayo developed a series of electromagnetic (EM) simulation tools beginning in the 1980's. Early transmission line analysis "field solvers" predicted the parasitic capacitances and inductances of controlled impedance transmission line structures.
However, simply predicting parasitic capacitances and the resulting crosstalk was not sufficient to completely understand signal behavior between high speed ICs. It was necessary to develop waveform simulators that could account for all of the crosstalk, dispersion, and reflection characteristics of the interconnect: effects which are highly frequency dependent, and are not well modeled by SPICE-like time domain simulators. The Mayo team created a series of frequency domain waveform simulators that could predict all of these effects in a closed form solution.
To accommodate "real world" complex interconnect structures, the Mayo SPPDG created the Networking Tool, which can simulate multiple interconnected coupled transmission line environments with an arbitrary topology and a variety of discontinuities. The Networking Tool has been successfully employed to model a number of single-chip IC packages and multiple chip system applications.
The first set of waveform simulators developed at Mayo are based on the Telegrapher's Equations, which rely on the so-called quasi-TEM assumptions. These assumptions simply implmoving wavefront are orthogonal to the direction of wavefront propagation in the transmission line. These assumptions are considered valid whenever the signal wavelengths are significantly larger than. To assure that we remain within the region of validity for these assumptions, we generally constrain the use of these techniques to bandwidths of 2-5 GHz, although the limitations also scale with smaller interconnect geometries.
New developments in transistor technology have continued to push analog system frequencies and digital clock rates well beyond the realm of the quasi-TEM assumptions upon which the early transmission line and waveform analysis were based. As digital clock rates enter the 10-100 GHz range, it is necessary to accurately model the electromagnetic behavior of circuits from DC to (approximately) five times the system clock rate. This is accomplished by the application of full-wave algorithms which accurately model electromagnetic behavior without limitations on frequency.
Mayo has developed a full-wave transmission line simulator based on the Finite Edge Element Method (FEEM), which is derived from vector finite element methods. This tool has been shown to be about ten times faster than traditional Finite Element Method programs. This makes it possible to directly simulate all frequencies of interest, instead of relying upon numerical extrapolation techniques
TNT transmission line simulator main window with example two conductor microstrip cross section.
The Mayo team worked aggressively on these problems from 1992-2002, and developed a number of efficient fast-quasi and 3-D full-wave power/ground plane noise simulators for frequencies up to 100 GHz using generalized Z- and S-parameters employed in microwave network analysis. These present first-generation algorithms and EM tools are being extended to higher frequencies with improved accuracy, and include measurement de-embedding, full-wave active device models, and more complex physical geometries.
As we applied the early power and ground plane noise modeling tools to a number of problems, we have come to understand that the circuit concepts underpinning traditional intuition about power and ground plane noise have been completely wrong. Furthermore, the engineering "rules of thumb" that we have developed to suppress noise in the power systems, based on intuition and trial and error, are also sometimes wrong. We have discovered, for example, that simply choosing the correct component placement on a PWB can have a very dramatic effect on the amount of power and ground plane noise created in the system. We published this example of a two chip system, where clever selection of component placement suppresses the power system noise over wide ranges of frequency.

Keying and Color Correction: in which order?
Hi there, when keying a series of green screen elements into a sequence of shots, should the elements be color matched and corrected before keying (for consistency but perhaps changing the green screen color) or after (when one can take a more global overview of the interplay of FG and BG for the whole sequence)?
Re: Keying and Color Correction: in which order?
You shouldn't want to tweak the green's unless its meant to help in the keying process ...


can introduce a little colour to a bathroom via a border or feature wall.
We often associate spa retreats with a gorgeous natural stone floor and walls. The natural variations of the stone tiles give a luxurious look and feel to a room. They also add  neutral coloured tilem making the room brighter and give the impression of a more spacious room. Whatever your taste, the versatility and beauty of natural stone will transform and enhance the appearance of any bathroom.
