This is approximately $135 million more than was appropriated in FY2008 ($4.22 billion). Congress chose not to fund the Real ID program in FY2009, however, it did appropriate funding ($2 million) for a new assistance program titled the Center for Counterterrorism and Cyber Crime at Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont.

What Is Perfect Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the energy and strength that is pressing on the walls of the arteries. When measuring it, two numbers are being used to identify blood pressure namely systolic and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is represented by the top number and measures the particular contraction and heart beat, while the bottom number seen measures the heart relax or that something between the beats. Usually, a 120/80 blood pressure is considered perfectly normal. Systolic is 120 and diastolic is 80. But then, in order to be accurate, you need to check it several times in a day in order to identify your perfect blood pressure.
It is best to note that pressure changes depending on the activities that a person has engaged into during the day.

Who’s the “Party Catalyst” on your block?
Recently, a 2002 This American Life episode called “Plan B” came up. The story was about a guy that worked as a Jose Cuervo “Party Catalyst.” What’s a party catalyst, you may ask, and how do you sign up? I congratulate your astute asking skills, Fellow Townie, because it is indeed a great question.
The perfectly-produced podcast goes on to explain (kinda) what Mr. CuervoMan does. Suffice it is to say, he hands out free alcohol and branded swag via his … different body parts. Before this blog disintegrates into a treatise on nakedness, let me assure you I bring all of this up for a reason: we need to give proper shout-outs to the neighbors and friends in H-Town who rock the party that rocks the body. Some of the Townies know just when we all need a good beer and grillin’ out.
West Wilmot used to have a lot of block parties. We here on EW haven’t had one here yet, but we definitely have our share o’ fun. A few saturdays ago I had too much fun at the hands of our darn incorrigible ne’er-do-well neighbors that took about 2 days to get over (Not mentioning any names, but the last name ends with the long E sound). It just isn’t hard to tell who the partiers are on our street, especially compared to the quiet ones. Thankfully we don’t have crazy loud folks; everyone is respectful and keeps the din within acceptable decibels. We have only 13 houses on our street, so it can go either very wrong or very well. For the most part it goes well.
What about your street? Too quiet, too loud, or just right? Do you have one “party catalyst” who is always getting it going or does everyone take their turns boosting morale?

Pancakes & Pasta – Helen, Naturally!
The hubster will be home from now on, deer season is officially over for him. I am sure he is saddened by this, um…not really – that only means that “fishing season” is starting. You see he is such the outdoorsman. He is the president of a local bass fishing club, and their first tournament is tomorrow. At least he will be home at night now, and hey we have the potential for winning some money!!
I spent the majority of the past few days dreaming about this mornings breakfast. As mentioned in my previous post, I stumbled upon a little jewel of a store that had some food “gems” available for purchase the other day. Since making that little trip I have been dreaming of this breakfast.
Preheat a griddle or pan on medium-low heat.
Place the eggs in a blender and blend for around 30 seconds. Add the remaining ingredients and blend for an additional 30 seconds. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes in order to thicken.
Spray the griddle or pan with non-stick spray, or you can use oil/butter if you choose. Cook griddle cakes until nice and brown.
My pancakes were smeared with pecan butter (every pancake needs some butta), then topped with grilled banana slices, and drizzled with coconut butter & maple syrup.
Which then turned into this!
Spray a baking sheet liberally with cooking spray. Set aside.
Mix the squash and onion together and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bake until the vegetables are golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
While the squash mixture is cooling, cook the pasta. Drain and reserve about 2 cups of the pasta water. Put the pasta, goat cheese and 1 cup of pasta water in a large serving bowl. Toss until the cheese has melted and forms a creamy sauce. Add the squash and onion mixture, the walnuts and the basil. Toss well and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese before serving.
Cook’s Note: To toast the walnuts, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly toasted, about 6 to 8 minutes Cool completely before using.
Thanks to Giada De Laurentiis for sharing this recipe on the food network (my favorite channel). I tell you that woman knows how to cook!
Mix all ingredients together and pour onto salad.
Now of course no Friday night dinner would be complete without a dessert, right?
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Place in a dish and put into the freezer until ready to serve.
All your food looks super yummy today!!!

While the sword fighting schools of medieval Europe died out as a living tradition many hundreds of years ago – recent years have seen them undergo something of a renaissance.
The surviving knowledge of the medieval knightly sword fighting tradition can be broadly divided into two main categories: the earlier schools of sword and buckler, and the later period of wielding the Longsword (also known as the hand and a half sword) – which span a period from approximately 1300AD to 1500AD. Before this time, the fighting techniques were a purely oral tradition and have, unfortunately, been lost.
Of the former, there are only a handful of reliable sources - including the most famous, and the earliest the Tower Fechtbuch – more commonly known as MS I.33 (pronounced one thirty three – pictured below).
While significant work has been made to restore these art of fighting with sword and buckler, there is little doubt that the majority of today’s efforts have been focused on the Longsword, partly because of its romanticism, but more so because the amount of source materials is comparatively richer.
You can find many of the original manuscripts here at the ARMA website, though as many are written in the somewhat archaic (by modern standards) Olde English or untranslated Old German.
The latter period medieval sword fighting schools were primarily divided into the German and the Italian traditions. While both wield practically identical longswords, they do so in somewhat different ways. Despite the fact that the lines between the two sword fighting schools are often blurred – some generalizations can be made.
Neither school is superior, and each tends to reflect a little of the personality of the people, and the masters, who designed and further refined them – such as the great Johannes Liechtenauer of the German school and Fiore de' Liberi of the Italian tradition.
Unfortunately, the older sword arts faced a slow and lingering death in the face of the rise of the gun. The subsequent abandoning of traditional armors, the cavalry sabers of the new military and swords designed for civilian use (such as the rapier and smallsword) were the final nails in the coffin.
On this page, you’ll find a list of ARMA chapters with the relevant contact information. They can also be contacted directly so that you can register your interest in finding a practice partner in your area.
With their main school in Santa Clara, CA, Steaphen Fick's Davenriche European Martial Arts School explores the 14th to 16th century long sword, daggers, sabers and more! You can visit their website to find out more here.
In Europe, there is a very cool googlemap that lists major sword fighting schools by Geography. Simply click on the ‘ballons’ for their website address.
Eventually though, the evolution of warfare in Europe took its toll. And as the last of the masters died out, the earlier traditions were preserved only in a handful of old and neglected manuscripts.
Before this, there were a few scattered attempts here and there – most focusing more on role-playing than on a serious endeavor to restore the sword fighting schools as a valid martial art again. But, driven at first primarily by the ARMA (Association for Renaissance Martial Arts) and soon after quite a few others using the internet to create a means of gathering more like minded individuals and sharing, and preserving rare manuscripts online, momentum started to build.
While it can be argued that the lack of a living tradition means that we can never be sure if our attempts to revive the old methods of fighting are correct or simply our interpretation, much careful and painstaking work has been done – and these days it is possible to find sword fighting schools and modern day manuals that if they are not exactly the same as the original medieval techniques, would not be too far off the mark.
For those who simply do not have access to one of the fight schools, there are a number of manuals (and one DVD) that cater to this requirement. Below I have listed some of the best ones for beginners – because even though there are quite a few more, many of them can be too academic and dry in tone to be of much practical, hands on use.
Written by a young martial artist Adam Sharp and published by SBG, the Trueswordsman ebook is a comprehensive introductory guide to learning the basic footwork, guards and master strikes of a modern interpretive fusion of both the Italian and German sword fighting schools.

PATRICE EVRA is being lined up by Manchester United as the man to tame Paul Pogba.
As Sunsport reported, Evra has twice put back publication of his autobiography amid claims that United have offered him a role in the New Year before the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
And it is understood that the former Red Devils’ full back, who played with Pogba for both France and Juventus, is still on course to take up a post at Old Trafford from January – if he wants it.
A source said: “Patrice has been offered something with United from January, although he does have other offers.
The source added that Evra had been seen at more than one United game with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward in recent months.
The Pogba situation is one of the biggest challenges facing United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – and former United team-mate Evra could be the perfect right-hand man.
Pogba’s lack of consistency on the pitch and lack of respect off it at times seemed to sum up the collapse of Mourinho’s reign at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer is said to have enjoyed a good relationship with Pogba in the year they spent together at United.
The midfielder joined the Academy in 2009, at which time the Norwegian was reserve-team boss before taking his first senior job with Molde in late 2010.
But Pogba and Evra have a real bromance, often conducted via social media and including footage of the pair dancing together.
Evra was in the France squad when Pogba made his senior international debut in March 2013, but their relationship really blossomed when Evra joined Pogba at Juventus in 2014.
The pair won two Serie A titles together and have remained in contact since Evra moved on to Marseille in early 2017.
Evra is now ready to begin his off-the-field career and a January arrival at Old Trafford could be perfect timing.

Grant Havers writes to say logic is not Charles Taylor’s long suit. It bothers Havers that Taylor argues for the superiority of Christianity while clinging to the idea that other cultures/beliefs are equally worthy of “recognition” and worthy of the political rights and privileges that go with recognition. It leaves us without means to defend ourselves against the intolerant. I agree. Taylor’s soft tolerance detracts “intolerably” from the sense of right and wrong.
We find a similar indifference to logic in Modern Social Imaginaries (Duke University, 2004). Taylor argues persons living in an “imaginary” (a “culture,” perhaps – he speaks of the European Enlightenment as an “imaginary”) are more or less unable to comprehend other “imaginaries,” especially previous ones. Thus he argues that we in the modern age cannot enter fully into the pre-modern, and indeed are now seeing the “modern” slip away. Locke and the Enlightenment are becoming incomprehensible.
But – here’s the contradiction: to make this assertion, he must describe past “imaginaries.” If he is to convince us that we are losing the Enlightenment he must show it to us. Thus we learn that the past is not entirely closed to him. Why may we not conclude that insofar as we understand Taylor, the past is not entirely closed to us?
Now I’m re-reading Taylor’s “Shared and Divergent Values.” It’s one of the selections in Peter Russell’s Essential Readings in Canadian Government and Politics (forthcoming from Emond Montgomery Publications). Here’s how I once put the argument in this famous essay: “Taylor supports the building of a Québécois way of life to distinguish the citizens of Quebec from other populations on the North American continent but hopes at the same time that Quebec will not differ from other jurisdictions in its adherence to broad principles of liberal-democratic justice. In all his writings on Quebec, Taylor is looking for the half way house” (The Once and Future Canadian Democracy).
The women are falling over themselves in a rush to get off the CPSA Women’s Caucus email list. It’s a bit of a mystery. Shannon Sampert, Tina Beaudry-Mellor, Koula Mellos, Manon Tremblay, Hélèn Pellerin, Dana Christina Cadeschi, Ailish Johnson: I don’t know these political scientists and I don’t know why they are stampeding for the exit.
No unsubscriber gives her reasons. It’s hush hush. But if you think Frances Widdowson figures somewhere in the story you are probably right.
These days Widdowson is complaining that the peer-review process in Aboriginal Studies is dominated by a “postmodern sisterhood,” which, she says, overwhelmingly favours scholars who argue that native people, because of their ancestry, have “a different way of knowing” not accessible to others.
She’s riding high on the huge success of Disrobing the Aboriginal Industry (co-authored with Albert Howard), but the paper she submitted for panel presentation at the CPSA this spring has been rejected. It criticizes Kiera Ladner’s contention that scholarly research must respect the “different ways of knowing” and aboriginal methods of inquiry. Ladner is the head of the section of the program committee that reviewed Widdowson’s proposal.
p.s. I can’t figure out why I’m receiving the Women’s Caucus communications. I unsubscribed years ago. Suddenly: I’m back! Someone signed me up. Another mystery.
The experiments with Siberian pines are going nowhere. Dendroclimatologists have sliced and diced and entered the numbers. The results are not conclusive. The research is not going well. We need a more reliable source of information on the climate of the first millennium.
But think about it. We don’t need to crunch trees. The human race has masses of records from the relevant years: no graphs and statistics, of course. No temperatures. What we have are words and pictures; poems, sculptures, histories, diaries, letters, annals, laws.
We know what people wore in the first millennium and where they lived; we know their seasonal occupations; we know when lands came under the plough; we know whether farmlands were abandoned, and when and why. We know what people planted and when. We know when they harvested. We know what they were hunting, what the edible plants were, when garden plants bloomed. We know road conditions, storms, tides. I’ll come up with a longer list at some point.
We could draw up a weather chart for 750-1450. Of course. Decade by decade? We could probably do it year by year if necessary. We’ll need historians of all kinds; political scientists, students of language and literature. Let’s do it. We’ll describe the change – or lack of change – in all the currently populated areas of the northern hemisphere. We needn’t confine ourselves to the MWP. We’ll examine the centuries before and after to put things in perspective. There will be issues about interpretation. But one thing’s certain; the “raw data” will never be dumped. It’s all in the public sphere, in published form or on the Internet, or in carefully guarded archives, museums, universities, and special collections.
It will be a huge job, of course. It will cost millions. And now perhaps you see the point of this note. Why shouldn’t the social sciences and arts side of the campus get some of the millions in grant money presently going to the tree crunchers?
Think of the book titles! What Shakespeare Can Tell Us about Climate Change. When the Greeks Bundled Up; Costume and Global Warming. Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s think first about the grant applications. And international cooperation. And conferencing. And new organizations and academic specialties. We are going to have fun.
I’m jumping the gun here. Tom Flanagan’s forthcoming book, Beyond the Indian Act: Restoring Aboriginal Property Rights, will be out next spring (McGill-Queen’s). His co-authors are Christopher Alcantara, and André LeDressay.
It makes the case for developing and extending the First Nations Land Title Recognition Act, a measure already in effect in some jurisdictions, which gives First Nations access to modern, effective property rights while enabling them to retain their autonomy and institutions of self-government.
It not only proposes means to enable Indians to get beyond the Indian Act – and out from under the burden of what Frances Widdowson and Albert Howard call the “Aboriginal Industry” – it shows that schemes for the escape are originating with bold thinkers in the First Nations and credibly locates the crucial decision-making powers – including the choice whether to escape – at the level of the First Nations governments.
In brief it shows what can be done, and what is being done, to alleviate poverty and the wretched housing conditions on Indian reservations. It might be the most important book on Aboriginal Affairs in Canadian history.
A year ago Canada was in the throes of a constitutional crisis. There’s been surprisingly little discussion of it in the weekend news. But the collection of essays edited by Peter Russell and Lorne Sossin (Parliamentary Democracy in Crisis; University of Toronto Press) remains a bestseller. Amazon.ca is bombarding me with notices.
Marcos asks for comments on the chapter by Jean Leclair and Jean-François Gaudreault-DesBiens. A glance at the footnotes turns up references to Tocqueville, Judith Sklar, Jeremy Waldron, James Madison, Alan Cairns. My interest is piqued.
But unfortunately, like other contributors to this volume, they conclude that Canadians should take last winter’s crisis as proof that constitutional reform is needed. Canada is suffering from a “democratic deficit.” It may be the old story. If you’re losing the political game, if the votes aren’t tumbling your way, demand an overhaul of the rulebook. But given more time, these authors, Leclair and Gaudreault-DesBiens, could probably do better.
Two observations: On page 112 they argue that, “The House of Commons is … no longer the place where regional issues will be debated.” But the House of Commons is not meant to be a place for debating regional issues. It was never meant to be such a place. As George Brown and George-Etienne Cartier envisaged it, the Commons was to be – exactly – an arena where regional issues were not tolerated. Brown says: “The questions that used to excite the most hostile feelings among us have been taken away from the general legislature and placed under the control of the local bodies [i.e., the provincial legislatures]” (Brown, Canadian Legislative Assembly, February 8, 1865).

first thanks for your useful plugin! I used it a t several pages and everythings working fine!
Can you give me a hint what could cause the problem?
Interesting. Can you tell me what page it's happening on, so I can look at it more closely?
That's new - your joomla script options are empty...totally empty. I've never seen that before.
My plugin relies on several pieces of data from Joomla to operate. These pieces are set in various ways - and manifest in the output as data within the joomla-script-options in the document head.
Your site is missing everything - the object is completely empty.
I'm wondering if you might have something that's removing the contents, or if you have a caching mechanism that is preventing live data from being displayed.

The Palo Alto Police Department just reported the city’s annual crime statistics. Turns out residential burglaries are up 52% over the past year. This doesn’t surprise me. Not at all. I imagine the growth is even greater in my building where theft has become so common that most of my neighbors don’t bother to contact the police anymore.
Talk about your rude awakening. After me and my apartment were bonded together in legal union, we did not enjoy a honeymoon period. Within a few short few weeks, three crimes touched my new home.
The first was the break-in of our private storage unit.
My neighbors informed me that this is a frequent occurrence because we have homeless people squatting in the rooms. Our cages may lack the luxury found throughout the fine homes and estates of Palo Alto, but these indoor accommodations still beat the lawns and benches available across our outdoor parks and avenues. Call me a NIMSU (Not In My Storage Unit), but this is not acceptable.
The second was the forced entry to my car in our secure parking garage.
This event was so mundane that the police were not willing to investigate. Their facilities at city hall are only three blocks away, so at the very least I expected they would come to take fingerprints. But no. Guess I should be grateful that the thieves stole my garage gate clicker. Next time they want to burgle our building, they will be spared the inconvenience of smashing my car windows.
The third was the robbery of the locked apartment located right above my own home.
Since I had heard the events in real time, I was asked to give an account to the police, as were a few of the other neighbors. Actually, I missed the first several minutes of the episode because I was talking on the phone with a friend. Nevertheless, I had tuned in by the end of the first commercial break and was immediately riveted by the unfolding drama.
The police arrived with blaring sirens, screaming bullhorns, and barking lupines. When they sent in the attack dog, it was extremely disturbing to hear man and canine rolling around on the floor directly overhead. The ferocious beast was savaging the intruder. There was growling, snarling, biting, and ripping. The intruder wailed in pain for a seemingly endless period of time.
Neighbors reported that a second intruder got away by scrambling down a tree.
A third intruder — a woman who was heard laughing raucously and believed to be drunk or high — presumably absconded by climbing down the fire escape.
In that moment, one aspect of the crime was resolved. It became all too clear that the so-called “laughing woman” was not an accessory partying with the intruder in #407, but was in fact me, talking on the phone in #307. Me! I was the moll.
The intruder and his runaway accomplice were convicted of burglary and sentenced to serve time. Despite my impassioned appeals, the homeowner’s association refused to undertake a single measure to improve building security, insisting that living with crime is an unalterable attribute of living downtown. I do not agree.
So, would be burglars of Palo Alto, consider yourselves warned: I own a regulation major league baseball bat and have surprisingly good eye-hand coordination. Do not dare and mess with me.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, US Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who grew up in the Bronx, noted that her childhood was so urban that she was “known to confuse cows for horses” when she arrived at college.
Don’t get me wrong. I admire Justice Sotomayor. But this really strains credibility. It’s hard to believe a wise Latina with the wits to escape the projects and the smarts to go to Princeton managed to get her diploma without being able to identify the farmyard friends. Sure, toddlers today may be lords of Farmville, but even in Ms. Sotomayor’s day, there wasn’t a kindergarten in the country where kids didn’t become masters of Old MacDonald’s Farm.
Seriously, until we were presented with scalpels and a frozen porker of the fetal variety for dissection in high school Biology class, I had never met a genuine pig in the flesh. Still, I had seen the Three Little Pigs illustrated in my Little Golden Story Book. I had seen Arnold on Green Acres. Piglet! Porky Pig! Miss Piggy! Pigs were everywhere. I would know a pig if I saw one. Come on, Madame Justice!
So one day my boss invites me to see his horses. The equines lived at a kennel, a short drive up the nearby hills. I wondered if this was how the people “out west” demonstrate their status. By showing you their horses. Like the way people in New York exhibit their Rothko paintings or the way people in Boston display their Mayflower genealogy.
Anyway, it scared me a little, being so near to such large animals. The horses were kept in these booths with only their heads and shoulders sticking out. It seemed they would not be able to charge our bodies but could easily chomp our arms. Even so, I petted the horses and fed them some carrots and returned home with both hands and all ten fingers.
The bovine encounter came just a few weeks later. Me and the ex-man were taking a hike in some other nearby hills. (There are a lot of nearby hills in California.) When you visit a natural habitat here, there are signs warning you to watch out for mountain lions and their various cousins. They make no mention of cows.
Unbeknownst to us, however, the state has this program where they let the farmers graze their cattle on protected park land. And this is how it happened that there were three cows standing in the middle of the trail. (Trail is what they call the sidewalk when there is dirt instead of concrete.) I froze dead in my tracks, afraid to approach the ferocious beasts.
The ex-man insisted cows were quite gentle; we could walk around them. I was sure the cattle would think we were predators; they would surely stampede if we got too close. He said they were lazy; we could outrun them. But with three XXL-size cows and only two 40th percentile-size humans, I didn’t like the odds. But what I liked even less was the smell of the manure and so we made our maneuvers to safety.
I’ve long since become accustomed to seeing horses and cows in the distance but when it comes to close encounters of the animal kind, I’m sticking with the small fluffy dogs that like to nap on my lap.

Tough new State Cat Laws came into effect on November 1st, 2013. The new Cat Bill means that cat owners must ensure their cat is sterilised, microchipped, registered with their local council and wearing a collar and tag by the end of the month, to avoid hefty fines.
Microchipping is a fairly non-invasive procedure which involves inserting a uniquely coded chip between the shoulder blades of the animal, using a hypodermic needle. The chip is then registered with a microchipping Registry, complete with owners details.
When animals are found, their chip is scanned, bringing up the owners details and allowing a speedy reunion.
The aim of the new cat laws are to decrease the number of euthanased cats, and also decrease the number of stray animals inundating council kennels and rescue organisations.
To help owners of both cats and dogs meet these requirements, Bayswater Vet Clinic has heavily reduced the price of all microchipping to just $40. To take advantage of this special, owners simply need to call the Clinic on 9371 2456 and book a short appointment.
Bayswater Vet Clinic is located at 1010 Beaufort St, Bedford. The offer extends from 19th Oct to 30th Nov 2013.

Douglas, The Cobb-Douglas production function once again: Its history, its testing, and some new empirical values, J. This is advantageous because often, the greater the time spent collecting and preparing information for organisational carbon footprints, the costlier the process becomes whilst improvements to accuracy are negligible and the less accessible it is Plambeck, 2012.
The first of its kind, a seminar on Production Theory was held at the University of Karlsruhe during May and June 1973. Papers on scalar valued production functions are orga- nized in Part 1. It contains 51 articles by 62 authors. In economics, one has to deal with soft systems, which induces problems of invariance and of self-awareness. Seven of the nineteen resource participants were from Canada, France, the Netherlands, Sweden and the U.
Each paper has been reviewed by at least two referees. Hicks, Theory of Wages , London, Macmillan, 1932. As a consequence, the articles in this volume are revised versions of the original papers. McFadden, Constant Elasticity of Substitution Production Functions, The Review of Economic Studies, 30 2 1963 , 73--83. Of course, this connection is not always deterministic.
Almost all economic theories presuppose a production function, either on the firm level or the aggregate level. Measurement in economic systems Measurement in economic systems Boumans, Marcel 2005-12-01 00:00:00 The metrology literature neglects a strong empirical measurement tradition in economics, which is different from the traditions as accounted for by the formalist representational theory of measurement. This article presents a hypothesis which, under supposition of some well-known axioms of those models, is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a continuous utility function. However , their incidence can be attenuated, and utility thus increased, when a different approach is adopted in determining its estimation , as we suggest in the following section. As a consequence, the articles in this volume are revised versions of the original papers. We show that in the scalar case this results in a quasi-additive functional form. Unter diesen Voraussetzungen besteht auch Äquivalenz zwischen den genannten Axiomen und Richters Kongruenzaxiom vgl.
Therefore this methodology, which prioritises directly influenced and production-based emissions, removes barriers to carbon footprinting by ensuring organisations remain far removed from any threshold. Wie Gale nachgewiesen hat, ist Äquivalenz zwischen dem Starken und dem Schwachem Axiom nicht allgemein gegeben. Nyul, Production functions and their characterizations, Alk. Starkes Axiom der Theorie der Revealed Preference treten in der Literatur verschiedene Forderungen auf. In economics, one has to deal with soft systems, which induces problems of invariance and of self-awareness. In the theory of revealed preference and in the approach to integrability theory of Hurwicz and Uzawa certain conditions are proposed implying the existence of a utility function generating the given demand function.
The present bool offers an overview of significant new results on the subject. In this sense the production function is one of the key concepts of mainstream neoclassical theories. This paper is an analysis of the concept of consistency in aggregation. Douglas, A theory of production, Amer. This is the conjunction of three requirements: i for any given partition of the variables, two-stage aggregation is consistent, ii that each subaggregate and the overall aggregate have the same functional form, and iii that all partitions of the variables are feasible. The generalization to many attributes is however shown to lead to few restrictions. Turning next to more general production models, Part 4 contains five papers involving set valued production func- tionsor production correspondences, dealing with such topics as efficient pOints, stochastic aspects, homogeneity, homo- theticity and the law of diminishing returns.
Karlsruhe supplied the predominant part of the Ger- man contributors. Such a correspondence assigns to each combination of inputs the possible outputs. Hence we shall try in the following to stochasticize this concept of production correspondence. Vilcu, Geometric classifications of homogeneous production functions, Math. Six papers on multisectoral production models have been included in Parts 2 and 3, addressed in part to problems of dynamic structures, disaggregation and relaxation of simple homogeneity. Jedoch können Bedingungen für eine solche gefunden werden vgl. Vilcu, A geometric perspective on the generalized Cobb-Douglas production functions, Appl.

Quiz works fine but at the end FINISH fails to close the quiz window, anybody got Ideas?
Could you please specify the issue in more detail? Are you publishing a standalone quiz or it's inserted into a course? Is it uploaded to some website or LMS or you're viewing it locally?
Yes, the quiz 7(HTML5) is in LMS Moodle 2.6, (on a Php/Apache server) it replaced in the same position etc, a Quiz 6 file (flash) which worked fine!
It all works fine except when user selects Finish, the window does not close, thus slightly confusing the user on where to go next.
Actually we have recently released a new update of iSpring authoring tools. In the new version of iSpring QuizMaker 7 it's possible to just remove the Finish button in the settings of the Result slide, probably this will work for you?

John Wooden was a great basketball coach. His UCLA teams won 10 championships in 12 years (7 of them were consecutive). This success is impressive. However, the players and coaches said that it was Wooden’s leadership that set him apart and had the biggest impact on them.
One way he did this was by focusing on his Seven Point Code.
I thought about how I could personally apply the code. So, here are my thoughts on each one.
– Know and live my mission statement and core values. Make big and small decisions that are aligned and reinforce my mission and values.
– Live with the ‘front page’ mentality – be comfortable with everyone and their dog finding out what you did (that means your Mom and Dad).
– Each day, I am given a gift of 24 hours. I will never ever get it back. I want to use my skills, talents and time to make a positive impact on my family, co-workers, and friends.
– With a caring heart, serve people by leading well (SAM/POC/GRAD).
– Make one person’s day (via encouragement, thanking them, serving them, caring for them, listening, etc.).
– Be a lifelong learner.
– Read meaningful books that help you make a difference.
– Invest in others; meet people where they are at; give people what they need (not want); live the core values, value them by giving them your time and energy.
– Know that hard times will come (professionally, personally, individually, and as a team) and be prepared for them.
– If you do the right thing for the right reason, things will work out for the best.
I’d encourage you to take a few moments to think about the Seven Point Code. Then apply it.
Take a chance and lead the Interstates Way!

An element many students tend to look over when completing dissertation projects is proofreading. Some feel they don’t have the time while others may not be sure how to complete the task. Fortunately, there are simple tips to follow that will help you get the process done quickly. The following points offer insight on what you can when proofreading your academic paper.
If you are planning to proofread your dissertation you should get an idea of what to look for. There are sources online providing basic details on how to proofread written content. Review this information and take notes on what you feel is most useful. Keep in mind aspects to watch for when reviewing your own work and how to make corrections accordingly.
When proofreading you could read content on the computer, but if your eyes are strained from being on the computer for a while your efforts may not produce good results. Printing dissertation content on paper gives your eyes a rest from the computer screen. You are able to follow content on the page better and you can make notes on changes you want. Some may prefer to do this on computer because you can change wording easier and faster.
Try to take your time proofreading your dissertation. Rushing the process may lead to overlooking mistakes and overall message of your content gets lost. Find time to review content little by little. Review changes and let them sit for a while before going back to it again. It only makes sense to break up the process somehow to reduce stress and the fact a paper of this nature can be long in length.
When you see something doesn’t read properly in your dissertation you should have an idea of how to fix it. This means you can go back to the notes you took before starting the proofreading process. What are elements in the sentence paragraph structure do you need to change?
If the process is too much for you or you don’t have time to devote, hire a dissertation writing service or professional proofreader for further assistance.

Chad Ochocinco and his News Network are back and doing their thing with Motorola for Super Bowl XLV only this time with a XOOM in hand. Some of you may remember his first attempt to cover last year’s big game alongside a couple of other players as “media” members? Yeah it wasn’t much to follow, but knowing he has a Motorola XOOM with him, we’re expecting to see plenty of it especially with a big Super Bowl ad in the works for Moto. He has asked Darrelle Revis and Gerald McCoy to help him out, so you’ll want to follow them for the next few days on Twitter if you want to spot random XOOM notes.
And how about that XOOM Super Bowl teaser one more time?

A competition calling for designers to devise a product or means to provide clean water and sanitation to those living without has now gone worldwide.
The contest, called the Drawing Water Challenge, is worth £3,000 to the winning team.
It was launched by Arup and follows its Drawing Water exhibition, which held a charity auction selling hand-drawn postcards by well-known architects.
According to the engineering giant, roughly one-sixth of the world's population does not have access to water that is safe to use and two-fifths lives without proper sanitation.
To combat this, Arup is calling for designers to submit proposals for 'a new concept, technology, innovative approach or product' to bring clean water to those without.
The competition states that all proposals should be clearly feasible and original, which will support the aims of Arup charity partner WaterAid.
The competition's runner-up scoops £2,000 and the third-placed team takes home £1,000, donated by Arup, as part of the company's Arup Cause charity initiative.
The entries will be judged by a panel including Arts Council chairman Christopher Frayling and MAKE's Ken Shuttleworth.
The deadline for entries is 5pm on 31 January 2007. Proposals should be submitted via email to drawing.water@arup.com. The winner will be announced in February.

BATON ROUGE - For three consecutive years, LSU softball has made the trip to the Women's College World Series but hasn't been able to cash it in.
"We've been on the biggest stage, yeah we lost but we've been there," said senior Carley Hoover. "We do know what it takes to get there. This year I hope we figure out what it takes to win it all."
In the circle LSU may have the best one-two punch in all of college softball. Seniors Carley Hoover and Allie Walljasper have combined for 131 career wins in the purple and gold.
"I have a lot of trust in and confidence in our pitching staff," said head coach Beth Torina.
This season the Tigers offense ranked 13th in the SEC with a .261 average while the pitching staff carried the weight ranking 3rd with a 1.42 team ERA.
With a veteran group of Tigers throughout the lineup and rotation LSU is hoping the experience leads them to their first-ever national title.
"The fact that they've been here before is really something that you can't buy," admitted Torina. "The fact that they understand how to win this time of the year is probably the most valuable skill they possess."
Below is the updated schedule for this weekends regional at Tiger Park.

What is the Price of Memoir?
I have a bookshelf full of how-to-write books: Strunk & White, Natalie Goldberg, Julia Cameron, Dorothea Brande, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera to quote Yul Brenner. Perhaps I missed it, but I don’t remember reading an important caveat: if you write a personal essay, a memoir, and it gets published and you win a plaque and get a lovely check, there is a price to pay.
Memoirs of a life lived in Happyville don’t often get published. There needs to be conflict, confusion, battles, secrets, overcoming obstacles that still pop up every once in a while and punch you in the proverbial nose. And of course, there needs to be characters, otherwise known as real people, otherwise known as your parents, your brothers and sisters, your friends. That is, the first people you loved and were loved by. Family.
It would be the unusual family who cheers you on while you expose their faults. Most families don’t like that so much.
We are in the tell-all, dashboard confessional, tabloid era of opening our lives for strangers to read. Some argue that writing memoir is healing, liberating, or standing up for yourself against forces that oppressed or damaged you. Some argue that in writing about the pain of your past you will find strength in claiming your story. You will reveal yourself as a person of depth because of your suffering and survival. Your soul has heft, and therefore, you are wise.
Or maybe you just have hubris.
I have two published pieces out in the world that are memoir. I felt I needed to write them, I felt that the depth of feeling I had sharpened my writing, I felt I had processed enough of the past to bring a mature perspective on things. I gambled that I might feel further exiled from my family because of my decision to write these pieces, but some other need, some other ambition, was stronger than my hesitation.
Here I would like to open this blog up to a discussion: What is the price a writer pays for memoir?
As a for instance, to get the discussion started, I became a mute writer, stuck in a limbo of stories going nowhere. My success in getting those pieces published should have goaded me on to write more, but, adversely, I have written less. I feel exposed and vulnerable and more keenly aware of pain I may have caused. I suppose you call that regret.
There are out there, not quite written on stone, but I cannot take back words once uttered.
So shall it be written, so shall it be done--- Yul Brenner, the imperious.

The ideational grammatical metaphor is a phenomenon emerging in lexico-grammar which causes new variant construction that is different from its original meaning and grammatical class. This article aims at classifying the translation techiques applied in Jeff Kinney’s Diary of Wimpy Kid novels and also the impact of its application in translating ideational grammatical metaphor which deals with accuracy aspect in translation quality assessment. This research was classified as descriptive-qualitative research with embedded case study research and it used systemic functional linguistics as its approach.. content analysis and focus group discussion were used for obtaining data. The data consisted of linguistic, that is the words representing ideational grammatical metaphors, and translation data, i.e: the analyses of translation techniques and translation accuracy. The techniques were analyzed by using Molina & Albir (2002) theory whereas the accuracy was assessed based on TQA modified by Nababan, Nuraeni & Sumardiono (2012). Research findings showed that there were eight different translation techniques used for translating ideational grammatical metaphor in the novels. In addition, this average score of translation quality assessment showed that ideational grammatical metaphors in SL have been translated accurately to TL.

When Max and Atlanta started dating, Max would text Atlanta daily at about 10am. Atlanta would wait in anticipation and each time it came through, her entire office cubicle would cheer! That's when she realised she was onto something special. The couple's wedding was a sweet Australian escape to a bygone era with vintage and antique décor. Their wedding guests joined in on the fun, dressing up to suit the theme!
Max and I first met through mutual friends when I was 19, even though he lived interstate. One of my bridesmaids told me that I would always refer to him as ‘that really nice guy from Canberra’, which shows that he definitely left a good impression early on.
After barely a handful of dates, Max started to text message me daily at around 10am. I would wait in anticipation for the daily message and soon my whole office cubicle would cheer each time it came through. I knew it was something special.
However a favourite story is the time he tried to tell me he loved me for the first time. Max was so nervous that at the last moment he slipped in an extra word: ‘Atlanta…I think I love you’. I promptly replied with ‘Max…I know I love you’ – much to his relief, and I will never let him live it down!
In 2015, Max and I were amazingly lucky to win a ballot and spend two months at sea learning to crew the Sail Training Ship, the Young Endeavour, as it made a voyage around the world. Max spent two months sailing from Rio de Janeiro to Spain, before we swapped and I sailed from Turkey to England. The night I flew home after four months apart, Max was wearing a beautiful suit and had scattered red silk rose petals up the drive way and throughout the house leading to the bedroom. On one knee Max proposed, holding out a beautiful wood box he made himself. After much delightful exclamations of ‘Yes, Yes, Yes’ he showed me an esky in the walk-in-robe which held a bottle of 2004 Moet and Chandon to celebrate the occasion. I have never experienced a better bottle of champagne!
After countless hours of searching photographers online and receiving quotes, we found images by photographer Tom McEvoy. His images were so unique due to his use of vivid fairy tale-like colour and vintage poses and tones, which perfectly matched our wedding theme. He also mixes digital photography with hand crafted art to make amazing works of art. When we received our photos back, we couldn’t believe how he captured the vibrant colours and beauty of the day, and perfectly depicted our own fairy tale.
Ever since I was a child I dreamed about getting married on my parent’s property, called ‘Candlebark,’ where I grew up. I knew it was the most beautiful and personal location and that nothing could ever rival it. We also wanted to be outdoors surrounded by nature, and particularly wanted a festive, relaxed and joyful atmosphere for the wedding. Furthermore, I love all things vintage and antique and we were both excited to weave this love through our wedding. We even invited guests to dress up in a vintage style if they wanted to join in the theme, and many arrived with pearls, petticoats, parasols, vests and pocket squares.
When Max and I started dating we spent a lot of time at Candlebark where he also fell in love with the house, gardens, hills and waterways. From the outset we knew that we would marry at Candlebark and chose to have our ceremony in front of the dam for its stunning setting and vista’s. We found our celebrant through family friends, and Guy Gurney was a warm, inviting, and genuine celebrant that we adored and recommend to everyone. We were his 100th ceremony!
We wanted to keep the reception on the property so guests could spend time exploring the property and gardens between the ceremony and reception. We hired a beautiful large peg-and-pole marquee from a local company called North Central Hire, complete with 300m of fairy lights, a dance floor and a wonderful band who played through the night, called Kahuna Daddies. My father lit the big gum trees surrounding the marquee with spotlights and it was an absolutely magical scene.
As we were living interstate from our wedding venue, we decided to have two engagement celebrations, one in Melbourne and one in Adelaide. In Adelaide we organised a bus wine tour through the Barossa Valley with 20 close friends, and had an amazing time doing group tastings and eating fabulous food. Max’s parents hosted our formal engagement party complete with friends, family and our favourite family tradition…coal roasted gyros cooked in the backyard.
Max and I had five bridesmaids and groomsmen, all of whom were close friends. Max and his best man had been friends since age 6, and I had also been a bridesmaid at my matron of honours wedding. Sadly, my matron of honour moved overseas prior to the wedding, so we decided she would still be my bridesmaid from ‘afar’. Furthermore, two days out from the wedding another of my bridesmaids sadly couldn’t make it for family reasons, so another friend stepped in to save the day and I was still surrounded by special and amazing women whose friendship is priceless.
As my bridesmaids were scattered across Australia, and two would be having babies before the wedding, we had to be practical and innovative with our dress choice. We decided that a custom online dress would be the best option and after months of searching, found an amazing online shop on Etsy called ‘Amordress’. The dress’s fitted the vintage theme and were deep blue to match my sapphire blue engagement ring. They were tea length, fitted with a petticoat for flair, and had a stretchy back to accommodate for everyone’s needs. My bridesmaids were extremely happy and we had a lot of comments about how beautiful the dresses were!
The groom and groomsmen were attired by Ed Harry’s Wedding range. This was extremely convenient, as the groomsmen also lived across Australia and could pick up the chosen outfit from their local store. As we knew the day was likely to be warm, and we wanted a relaxed vintage style, the men opted for charcoal grey pants and vests, brown leather shoes and white shirts rolled up to the elbow. I handmade the men’s boutonnieres which were paper flowers cut from a romance novel, surrounded with lace and blue ribbon (to match the bridesmaids) and fastened with two strong magnets. I also made boutonnieres for all the immediate male family members, and guests apparently had a great time trying to read the words on the paper flower petals.
A year out from the wedding myself and three close friends took to the bridal boutiques. I had a clear vision in mind: nothing strapless, no long train, and preferably a tea length dress. However, as soon as we started trying dresses on, everything changed! While I loved the tea length dresses, it was a style I wore all the time and it didn’t feel quite ‘special’ or ‘womanly’ enough for me for ‘the big day’. We were at Jenny & Gerry’s Bridal Centre in Adelaide where I first tried on the dress. I instantly felt womanly and elegant in the unembellished, strapless, fit-and-flair ivory gown by ‘Beautiful Bridal’, and it played in my mind for days and two more fittings before I knew it was the one. Originally the dress was a two part ensemble with a full lace overlay. However, as I was in love with only the under layer, I was able to order just this, and the Bridal Centre continually expressed how inspired and unique my choice was. As my mother had a silk flower on the waist of her wedding dress, I was inspired to replicate this, and found that a small silk flower worked perfectly on the gown in tribute to my amazing mum.
I always knew that I wanted to express my love for the Australian outdoors and our wedding venue by having Native bouquets. Furthermore, we were fortunate to source these flowers and foliage from my parent’s garden, adding yet another extremely personal aspect to the day. On the wedding morning, my bridesmaids and myself picked a large basket of flowers and foliage and there was a hilarious moment when one particularly artistic bridesmaid kicked us all off the job and proceeded to make the most beautiful bouquets for us all by herself. It was a joy to have such reliable and creative friends.
The originally conceived wedding colour palate was blue and silver to match my engagement ring. However as the planning progressed we altered the palate to better blend in and reflect the wedding venue. The final palate was deep greens, rustic brown and wood tones, with hints of blue.
As guests entered the reception marquee, each table was simply laid with an eco-friendly pressed palm leaf plate sitting on a large paper doily and deep green serviette. The bomboniere bottles were deep green with a rustic brown label which also served as the guests place cards. In the centre of the table sat a blue-willow tea cup and saucer with a floating scented candle of lime and grapefruit, table numbers made out of reclaimed Jarrah wood, and a champagne ice bucket tied with brown paper and string. Above hung 300m of fairy lights and five hanging wreaths of native flowers and olive branches which were made and installed by the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Fairytale!
We purchased four wheels of cheese from a local delicatessen called Mothers Pantry and created a cheese wheel stack for our wedding cake: pecorino, truffle cheddar, King Island blue brie and a Clarins brie. My new sister in law was very artistic and decorated the stack with roses from my mother’s garden, while the whole stack sat on a large stone grinding wheel.
We decided on a sit-down meal, where entrée platters were served to the table and main course and dessert were a buffet. We catered the entrées and desserts, and hired a wonderful company to come to the property and cook and serve the main meal.
The entrée was local smoked trout and a cream cheese and roasted vegetable crepe layer cake. For the main meal a company called Travel’n Pizza set up a gyros on site and cooked chicken and lamb over coals, served with warm pita bread, coleslaw, Greek salad, hummus and tzatziki. Dessert was a selection of the wedding cheeses served with quince paste, alongside mountains of lemon tarts, baklava and chocolate truffles made by family members.
As the theme of the wedding was definitely to make everything as personal and handmade as possible, we decided to barrel age our own Tokay and bottle this at home for our guests. We purchased a 20L bottle of 3-5 year aged Tokay from Seppeltsfield Wines in the Barossa Valley, and used our 8L barrel at home to age three batches over four months each. We added extra flavours such as rum to enhance it, and everyone raved about the bonbonniere.
To honour Max’s Greek heritage, during the ceremony his mother placed two crowns on our head made from olive branches, tied together by ribbon from my mother’s wedding dress. Being connected in this way both symbolically and physically was so beautiful, and the words that were first spoken as the crowns were placed on our heads was a traditional Greek proverb: “the heart that loves is always young”. Truly unforgettable.
My nephew Casper was the flower boy and was encouraged to throw rose petals as he walked down the hill by placing a chocolate bar at the bottom of the basket. However, a quarter of the way down with the first bridesmaid, he grabbed the chocolate from the bottom of the basket and sat down refusing to move. With 100 sets of eyes on him he wouldn’t budge, so mum was soon to the rescue and the procession continued to everyone’s mirth.
I walked down the aisle to ‘Your Song’ from Moulin Rouge (originally Elton John) and we signed the register to ‘I just can't help falling in love with you’ by Elvis Presley. A fantastic two part band called The Kahuna Daddies played Lounge music into the evening which had every one dancing and created an amazing vibe in the marquee.
Later into the evening when it was just the bridal party and friends remaining in the marquee, the hits of the 80s and 90s did feature and the ‘Macarena’, ‘Zorba’ and ‘Nutbush city limits’ were a highlight.
This is one of the best stories of our wedding experience…When I was reading a beautiful book from my mother about wedding traditions, I found a passage stating it was the groom’s responsibility to organise the honeymoon. I instantly loved the idea and Max was happy to take charge. We had discussed three weeks in New Zealand and he set to planning. However, when I arrived at the airport at 5am, packed with clothes for New Zealand, Max announced that we were going to ‘record a video’ to thank everyone for our wedding. Then, on camera, he told me we were flying to Japan (not New Zealand) and we were flying Business Class!!!
I was in absolute shock and found out that everyone at the wedding knew and had enjoyed giving me advice about ‘New Zealand’ all evening. The plan changed when Max found out my Matron of Honour couldn’t make it home from Japan to be at the wedding, so we visited her and her family on our honeymoon. Max has now gained a reputation as an amazing (and sneaky) secret keeper!
In a few years we hope to start a family, and one day buy a property to build our own small hobby farm like our parents. As I have taken Max’s surname, we have decided that one day our property will be called ‘Townsend’, to honour my maiden name.
Try to do as much you can yourself in advance, but also realise that you cannot do everything. Originally I wanted to cater the wedding ourselves, however was talked out of it by a friend who is a chef/event organiser. Having Travel’n Pizza come onsite to prepare the meal was priceless and gave us so much more time to spend with family and friends during the lead up to the wedding.
Always hold hands and try to experience every moment together so you share the same memories. This advice was given to us by friends recently married and we loved it and saw the beauty and meaning in the advice. It definitely worked for us!

Wolf-shifter Hugh Lupine simply wants to make it through the month and win the bet he has with his best friend. He’s not looking to date anyone, or to solve a murder, but when a breathtaking beauty runs him over (literally), he’s left no choice but to take notice of the quirky, sassy newcomer. She’d be perfect if it wasn’t for the fact she’s the granddaughter of the local supernatural hunter. Even if he can set aside his feelings about her family, Penelope is his complete opposite in all ways.
Penelope Messing wanted to get away from the harsh reminder that her boyfriend of two years dumped her. Several pints of ice cream and one plane ticket to Maine later, she’s ready to forget her troubles. At least for a bit. When she arrives in the sleepy little fishing town of Everlasting for a surprise visit with her grandfather, she soon learns that outrunning one problem can lead to a whole mess of others. She finds herself the prime suspect in a double homicide. She doesn’t even kill spiders, let alone people, but local law enforcement has their eyes on her.

Audinate announced today that its audio-over-IP networking solution, Dante, has been adopted by 200 manufacturers. The company, headquartered in Sydney, Australia, unveiled its 150th licensee, Kramer Electronics, in June (see EXCLUSIVE: Kramer is 150th Dante licensee), adding 50 new adopters in just under seven months.
Audinate also used the occasion to reveal that it has shipped over 20 million Dante network channels to date, with 50 per cent of those 20m shipping in the last year. This company says the proliferation has been driven by "an increasing number of earlier licensees now shipping Dante-enabled products, as well as increased demand from the market", adding that it "expects this number to continue to accelerate as products from recent licensees hit the market and existing manufacturers integrate Dante into more products".
Recent licensees span a wide range of industries and applications, and Audinate states that it is targeting manufacturers from "diverse verticals" including the broadcast, conferencing, IT and communications markets.
Audinate is exhibiting at ISE on stand 7-W190.
Manufacturers across nearly every product category have upgraded their firmware to be compliant.

I think I love Christmas almost as much as Buddy the Elf.
You can pick the print above right here.
So it should come as no surprise that all of my Friday Favorites are of course Christmas related. Check out the best of my blogoshpere this week and have yourself a Merry little weekend. We all have gone a little crazy with the adorable paper straws. Over at Design Sponge they came up with an adorable craft to put those straws to work. This would be cute all year around and I have some gray straws calling my name. I do love a good drink…throw a holiday theme in there and I’ll take ten. The awesome girls over at A Beautiful Mess are always making sweet goodness, and this drink seems just right for the season. Can you believe Ashley & Greg from 7th House on the Left actually made this vintage tv to put in their front yard. I need to really step up my yard decor to keep up, that thing is the size of my garage. I’m beyond impressed. I have been debating for weeks how to wrap my presents…although I am having a change of heart on what I am getting everyone which would be a total game changer. How cute are these chalkboard presents the Bonnie made over on Going Home to Roost. If only I could doodle as cute as her.
What gorgeous holiday inspiration have you come across this week?
If you share below I will make sure you are on the “nice” list.
As I mentioned last week, I hosted my first cookie bake this weekend.
For as long as I can remember my mom has gotten together with a few of her oldest friends -and by oldest I mean they have been in her life for many moons…not that they have wrinkles-and baked cookies. I always loved this time of year because it meant a delicious sample session of sugary goodness.
I always secretly wondered why I wasn’t invited. But now I get it…If kids were there then they couldn’t lick the bowls. You’re totally forgiven mom.
This year I decided to take matters into my own hands and start hoarding sweets, not good for my thighs but I’ll totally take the stairs all week.
Here are a few of our treats… We had a blast, just catching up and trying our best not to burn anything. I really hope we can make it an annual get together. Not only do you get to spend time with fun girls, you get cookies too!
Have you ever had a cookie bake?
Got a good recipe I need to know?
When Tim and I decided to partake in this little game called love we never gave much thought as to how to blend our religions. We were more concerned with making sure our breath didn’t smell and that we didn’t misuse grammar in texts.
These days…we are focused on bigger issues.
Tim grew up celebrating Hanukkah and I grew up with dear old St. Nick. We had both been exposed to a variety of religions thanks to our awesome parents. Now we are finding that magical balance celebrating both holidays.
I have found such joy in sharing our traditions with one another. And ladies…find you a boy that speaks Hebrew…it’s awesome. We are both so accepting of one another and we both get equally excited about learning about the other holiday. I would say I get more excited about Hanukkah, because Tim has been exposed to Christmas through the years.
Before everyone gets all excited about how we will raise our kids and if the pups have dreidels please understand that we are both super open-minded. For us our religion is more about our relationship with a higher being…and yes the dogs totally howl the dreidel song.
Have you ever dated someone with different beliefs? A different culture? How have you blended these parts of your lives together? We love advice.
Holler for the weekend y’all. Do you have any big plans?
I am hosting a cookie bake with a couple of old friends. Think lots of wine and convincing my pregnant best friend – who will not partake in the wine consumption – that her little boy needs this. Seriously, how adorable would that be in a kids room?
I mean a map AND dinosaurs…it couldn’t be any cooler.
Want to know what else captured my heart this week…well since you asked. I am totally dumbstruck by this dining room. Why have I never thought of taking different chairs and painting them all the same color like they did over at A Beautiful Mess. It just works….and now I am collecting chairs. I am really nervous about making my own reindeer ornament, but Miranda from One Little Minute makes it look so easy. If you get these as a gift this year, well you can thank Miranda. You know how you always hear things like, “Today is mustard appreciation day, enjoy”. Well here is a whole calendar devoted to those quirky holidays. I am all about that Peanut Butter Lover Day…I think I will throw a party next year. Isn’t everyone jumping on the gold-lovin train these days? How about taking something totally unexpected. Like your child’s broken robot and making it all fancy like they did over at Dos Family. So glam…so unexpected. My best friend forever blogger friend Roo just launched an awesome line of paper goods…and gangster notebooks. Buy them all because they are almost as awesome as she is. Holler.

Your Boss NS-2 noise suppressor pedal will keep your signal pristine and clean of hum, buzzes, or any other annoying and unwanted sounds. Its easy-to-engage stompbox-styled construction means every stomp will deliver effective noise suppression on demand. Threshold and decay dials allow you to dial in the suppression, and a mode control featuring reduction and mute settings give you some sonic flexibility. An input, a send, a return, and an output jack all deliver plenty of connectivity options. You'll know your noise suppressor pedal is working when the bright red reduction light flashes on, which is a nice visual aid to help you set your decay and threshold settings.
The Boss NS-2 gives you the tools you need to clean up a noisy signal. Three dials pave your way for dialing in the noise suppression: threshold, decay, and a mode dial. The threshold dial sets the decibel level for when the pedal brings the suppression in. To its right, the decay control determines how long your notes or chords last before the suppression cuts the signal. You can play around with this control to smooth out the suppression, so your signal maintains a seamless and natural tonal contour, without all of the buzz or hum. The mode dial provides two universal settings: mute for a harsher noise cut, and reduction for a more natural suppression.
You know you've seen it before on pedalboard after pedalboard: that instantly recognizable Boss stompbox look that has fueled so many axes' signals over the years. A compact size means that your NS-2 won't eat up too much space, and this pedal's tough outer chassis will consistently and reliably keep your signal free of noise stomp after stomp, gig after gig.

A witness is someone who sees something happen. They are often used in court to help find the truth. During a trial, the two lawyers will bring in witnesses to help back up their arguments.
In a criminal trial, the prosecution lawyer will often bring in the victim of the crime to say what happened, and anyone else who can prove the accused person did the crime. The defense lawyer will nearly always call up the accused person to explain why they are not guilty, and bring in other witnesses who can prove the accused person is not guilty. Each time a lawyer brings in a witness, the other lawyer will cross examine the witness - they will ask them questions to make sure they are telling the truth.
Witnesses have to swear to tell the truth during the trial. If a witness lies in court, it is known as perjury, which is a crime. A witness can be subpoenad, which means they are required to testify in court. If the witness does not testify when given a subpoena, they can be punished.
