"No, baby. We can't call grandma right now."
She lifts the receiver from its cradle and listens, laughing at the solid tone she hears.
"Pap-pa?" she asks.
"No, baby. That's not grandma."
"If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again..."
"Pap-pa!!" she announces triumphantly.
"No, baby, "that's definitely not grandma."
"Oh, sweetie, that's too loud. Let me turn it off."
Eep. Op. Ork.
"Pap-pa?!?" she inquires, confused by the intermittent beeping that's replaced the frustratingly loud, angry tone of the unconnected call.
"No, baby. That's not grandma. Can you turn it off?"
eep. op. ork.
"Almost, baby. You turned it down. We need to turn it off."
eep. op. ork.
"Almost, kid. More. Can you turn it off? Let me have it. I'll turn it off."
She shies away from my outstretched hand, protecting the receiver from me. She is certain there is someone worth talking to on the other end of the line.

In this post, I will give an introduction to the current exhibition, Bright & Brilliant: Hampstead and the Slade School, with a focus on the organisation of the exhibition as well as the content. I'm not going to talk about the exhibition in depth, or all the artists involved as I don't want to completely rob you of the opportunity to explore it yourselves!
Generally, when planning the temporary exhibition programme we consider whether themes or proposals from third parties meet our very general aim, which is to explore aspects of Hampstead, or its residents, and the history of the local area. We try and make the programme interesting, engaging and varied, and we always take on board visitor feedback from each exhibition to inform future plans.
Rather than start with themes or ideas and try to shoehorn exhibitions into them, with a small collection it is best to start with the collection. I like to ask myself: What have we got, what would be interesting to show and what stories can these objects tell?
Burgh House is fortunate to have a wonderful collection, begun by local historians Christopher and Diana Wade, who founded Hampstead Museum in the late 1970s. They wrote numerous letters to local residents, borrowed objects from other museums, archives and private individuals, and received hundreds of donations. We are able to continue to add to this collection through donations, and through our modest purchase fund.
The impetus behind Bright & Brilliant was to showcase some of the star objects and pieces of art in the Burgh House collection that are rarely displayed. Among the things I was most excited to show was our very own Duncan Grant painting, our C. R. W. Nevinson watercolour, and the clothes worn by Daphne Charlton in the portrait painted of her by Stanley Spencer (which is in the Tate collection and is reproduced in our exhibition). But how to tie these things together? Reading about these artists and their circles, it was striking to find that the Slade School was one thing that connected them all, and so it seemed to be a good focal point for the exhibition.
For those who may not know, the Slade School of Art was founded in 1871 with endowments made by Felix Slade, a collector and antiquary. Based at UCL, the School has always been associated with innovation in the field of contemporary art, and it has produced many of the most successful British artists of the last 140 years.
One of the Slade's early tutors (I think it may have been Henry Tonks) described a 'Crisis of Brilliance' at the school in the early 1900s – and it was at this time that artists including Dora Carrington, C. R. W. Nevinson, Mark Gertler, Stanley Spencer and Sydney Carline were studying there. The period the exhibition focuses on encompasses this time and these artists, with a few decades and artists either side.
The 'Crisis of Brilliance' artists all went on to have remarkably successful artistic careers of differing magnitudes, and all had strong links to Hampstead. Whether or not you consider the link to the area relevant to them or their work, it can't be argued that this is where many of these brilliant artists met, socialised, worked, and in the case of Dora Carrington, tobogganed on the hills of the Heath.
Carrington, famous for her relationship with the writer Lytton Strachey, a prominent member of the Bloomsbury Group, didn't reside in Hampstead, but her own brother Noel admitted that 'it was almost certainly at the Nevinsons' house in Hampstead that she began to acquire the feeling that a woman's role in life must not be one of subservience'. Her views on life were arguably changed here, in Hampstead, at Nevinson's House.
C. R. W. Nevinson was born in a house on Keats Grove, and later had studio space at Steele Studios, between Belsize Park and Chalk Farm. The Nevinson painting in the exhibition, titled In Old Hampstead, shows a street scene near his studio, on the corner of Haverstock Hill and Prince of Wales Road. Nevinson was good friends with fellow artist Mark Gertler, who worked in a studio on Rudall Crescent, and later on Well Road, both of which are just a few minutes walk from Burgh House. Gertler, who spent much of his childhood in East London, enjoyed living in Hampstead near fellow artists, near the Heath and within reach of central London.
It isn't an unusual phenomenon that artists and writers have been attracted to Hampstead; a hundred years before Gertler, Constable found inspiration in the skies above Hampstead Heath, and painted prolifically here. Offering a compromise between town and country, and inevitably the draw of other artists, Hampstead became a meeting point for creative people.
Nevinson and Gertler frequently visited the Carline household on Downshire Hill; all three Carline children, Sydney, Hilda and Richard, were artists, as were their parents. Their home offered a welcome refuge (and food!) for their friends, and artist Henry Lamb described their meetings as the 'cercle pan-artistique of Downshire Hill'. Richard Carline later suggested, somewhat sceptically, that they actually received so many visitors because 'artists often preferred to go out to meet their friends rather than risk invasion of their studios without warning'.
Sydney Carline was good friends with Gilbert Spencer, the brother of Stanley Spencer, and the Spencer brothers were a central part of this close group. Both fell in love with Hilda Carline, but she eventually chose to marry Stanley in 1925.
A friend of Mark Gertler, but slightly on the outside of the group, George Charlton was an accomplished artist who studied at the Slade before he was called up to fight in the First World War in 1917. After the war, he was invited onto the staff of the Slade and was dedicated to his art and to teaching. In the catalogue accompanying a retrospective of Charlton's work at the Highgate Gallery in 1982, Julian Halsby claimed that 'by concentrating on his teaching at the Slade, and shunning publicity, he denied himself the recognition that came to many of his contemporaries'.
George and Daphne met at the Slade School – Daphne, George's pupil, was beautiful and outgoing. After they married, the two moved to 40 New End Square, just opposite Burgh House. They moved in artistic circles and stayed at Dora Carrington's house in Tidmarsh shortly after they wed in the early 1930s. The couple's friend Ian Kellam wrote a short book on his experience of their friendship and mentioned that when Daphne invited people over for dinner, George would often disappear upstairs to work as soon as he could. This may have had something to do with his shyness, which I think is evident when looking at his self portrait – you get the impression of a modest man, looking slightly away with an expression that is difficult to read. Daphne's self portrait, by contrast, is bold in colour and style – she looks directly out at us, and her beauty and confidence are evident.
Daphne began an affair with Stanley Spencer most likely in the late 1930s. As well as painting several pictures featuring Daphne, including the well-known portrait in the Tate, Spencer also painted her wallpaper! Scraps of this were given to Christopher Wade for the museum, and can also be seen in the exhibition. Daphne and her friend Ian Kellam donated many items to the Burgh House collection, including the blouse and hat Daphne wore in the Tate's Spencer portrait. Daphne and George painted the immediate area a great deal; knowing that they lived so close by somehow makes these observations feel much more personal, an insight for us into their world.
As I mentioned, George was dedicated to his teaching position at the Slade and this is evident through the attention he paid to the quality of teaching staff. In a letter to his friend and colleague, the Professor of the Slade Randolph Schwabe, in 1946, George stated:
'Obviously the addition of some young blood would be most invigorating, & just what the School wants, now that it has such a keen & gifted lot of students & the appointment of young men would give them confidence in themselves, & it would certainly cheer me, whereas yet more middle-age would depress me completely. I need hardly add that I have no personal interests in this matter, so long as the candidates are well under thirty. We should then be doing what the Slade has done before, looking for vigorous young talent, not chasing after well-known names.'
The exhibition touches on just one or two of the ways the Slade was special in the decades when the featured artists studied there. Its open acceptance of female students from the beginning was exceptional, as women were offered the exact same education as male students, something that was not usual at the time.
Reading about the school's teaching methods, they do sound quite traditional; students a hundred years ago were expected to work sketching antique sculpture, and when their work was considered good enough by their tutors, were permitted to go on to the life drawing room. Despite this traditional approach, many of the most talented artists thrived, experimented and innovated, especially under tutor Henry Tonks. Tonks taught at the Slade from 1918 to 1930, teaching Spencer, Nevinson, Gertler and many others, encouraging or discouraging students in his well-known direct manner. A successful artist in his own right, Tonks is probably best known for his drawings and paintings of soldiers with facial injuries, undertaken during the First World War.
The exhibition certainly does not seek to provide an exhaustive history of the Slade, nor in-depth biographies of all the artists included. It also does not make any bold claims on the significance of Hampstead on these artists lives and work. What it does do is draw them loosely together, and offer a jumping-off point for thought and further consideration.
I would like to swing back to the practical considerations of putting on an exhibition like this. Boring, but essential, is budget. You may be surprised to hear that temporary exhibitions even of this scale can cost a good thousand pounds, and that is a conservative estimate. As Burgh House is a charity with a very small operating budget, contributions and donations are invaluable for us to make exhibitions like this a success. Gill Clarke, a Schwabe scholar, kindly loaned the Schwabe material on behalf of the artist's estate, free of charge, as did the lender of the wonderful Carrington painting on foil.
Exhibitions also offer the opportunity for me to draw on our valuable volunteer and staff resources and skills, to undertake tasks such as proof-reading and editing text, working towards events organisation and promotion, as well as design of logos and interpretation panels, on top of their day to day tasks. This exhibition would not have been possible without Andrew Hunt, who was our Events and Operations Manager who tragically passed away recently. Andrew designed the logo and panels, as well as the postcards, and helped me hang the works – he made sure everything looked just as you see it.
To supplement the exhibition, we are holding a craft session for families on 20th February; and, on 15th March, Marilyn Greene will lead a guided walk around all of the houses, studios and scenes relating to the artists and works in this exhibition. We are also delighted to have East London Group historian David Buckman at Burgh House on 9th April, when he will give a talk on Phyllis Bray.
Bright & Brilliant: Hampstead and the Slade School is open now and runs until 19th April. Burgh House is open Wednesday to Friday and Sunday, 12:00-5:00pm. Free entry.

"A beautiful Christmas film with a timeless message. Lovingly crafted, well-acted, and told with warmth and tenderness."
—Jonathan Decker, Meridian Magazine
"Christmas Oranges is a heartwarming (and sometimes heart-wrenching) tale that will enchant you and your family. If you loved Warner Brothers' A Little Princess, you'll love this film, which pays definite homage to that classic tale in many of its plot lines, characters, and stylistic elements. Endearing from beginning to end."
Kaela Worthen, LDS Living Magazine
In a town not so far away and a time not so long ago, baby Rose was left on the porch of Greenwoods Orphanage, where Mrs. Hartley (Nancy Stafford) and the children under her tender care become her family. But when tragedy strikes, Rose (Bailee Johnson) loses the only home she has ever known and she is abruptly shipped to Irongates—a place that seems as cold and cruel as her previous home was kind. The strict headmaster, Mr. Crampton (Edward Herrmann), immediately seems to dislike Rose—and makes sure she and the other children are punished for any minor infraction of his rules. Rose soon makes friends with Emily, but in spite of her gently and forgiving nature, some of the children will take any chance they can to get her into trouble. When she learns that every Christmas Mr. Crampton's generous brother gives an orange to each child, Rose waits in eager anticipation. The way the other children describe the sweet and juicy fruit, Rose is sure it must be the most delicious treat in the world. However, on Christmas morning, Rose is devastated when she learns Mr. Crampton is punishing her again. But Christmas is a time of miracles. Share a slice of Christmas sweetened with friendship and love in this poignant Christmas story based on a classic holiday tale.
This is a beautiful film. Christmas Oranges is an adaptation from a book. The story brings both sadness and joy to the viewer. The characters are wonderful and sometime mischeivious children, but when Christmas comes they band together to share the most special thing,oranges. You will laugh and cry and know how an act of kindness can bring joy to the hearts of children who have nothing to give back, but the smile on thier face. Order the DVD today.. Share with firends and enjoy Christmas watching---- Christmas Oranges.
Such a tender, sweet film with a beautiful message. Perfect for this time of year. Well written, well acted and well done! Can't wait to buy the DVD!
I watched the movie with my grandchildren, and all four of them loved it. I shed a few tears as I watched this beautiful story, based on the well loved Christmas book, unfolded.
The story is compelling and tells a story of love and forgiveness and charity.
We will watch this many times this season and for seasons to come.
Christmas Oranges is a great Christmas Movie that the whole family can enjoy. It well written with a great story that includes humor, tenderness, death and forgiveness. Everyone in the cast does a wonder job that allows you to care about the characters. This truly is a must see Christmas Movie and I believe will be a tradition in homes for many years to come. This is definitely one you will want on your shelf! Your family and friends will thank you if you give it to them as a gift. I loved the book and love the movie even more!!!
I saw this movie at a pre screening and was very touched by the story and the message. This movie shows us the real meaning of Christmas, and it's going to be part of my library of movies that I watch over and over again. I am looking forward to the release next week, and will be first in line to purchase copies for my family.
I loved the message from this movie. Do something nice to those that don't like you or you think hate you, and even to someone you may not like yourself. The simple act of giving a Christmas Orange helps remind us of how a small gift or kind word can help someone else. This was so tenderly displayed in the movie. The story from the book is brought to life in a well written movie with believable characters. Get the tissues ready because you may just let out a few heartwarming tears.
This was an excellent movie... It had good acting. It is always appreciated when the acting is better than expected. It was a feel good movie. Hooray... I did not waste my money on another drippy movie from Deseret Book! Finally
I have watched this movie two times in the last two days and I love it. I wish I could give it to everyone! It is well worth buying!
This is a sweet story and very well done. I plan on getting this as gifts and giving it with a basket of oranges.

During the month of December, I tend to have lots to do and not a lot of time to do it. So I wanted to share some fun, quick & easy tags with you.
For my tags, I used the Ephemera pack, Parcel Tags, and Snowflake Chipboard. I added them to some mini paper bags and attached them to the bag with mini clothes pins that I got at the craft supply store. There are so many fun cuts in these packs, and they are so cute and festive. You could put together tons of tags in just a short amount of time. They would be perfect for gifts, favors, or just about anything you can add a tag to.
For the first tag, I layered The Santa card with a few die cuts from the Ephemera pack.
For my second tag, I cut out a circle from the stripe patterned paper in the 8 x 8 Patterned Paper Pack. I layered it over a tag and added the reindeer cut from the Ephemera pack and a chipboard snowflake.
For the third tag, I layered the '25' cut over the 'Toy Store' cut. I added a candy die cut and chipboard snowflake to the upper right corner of the tag.
For the last tag, I added three chipboard snowflakes and the 'Snow' die cut to one of tags from the Parcel Tag pack.
Visit the Pink Paislee blog HERE for a complete list of supplies used.
Hope you enjoyed today's project. Thanks so much for stopping by!

There's been some discussion about cameras happening in different places, so I thought we could start a new topic here.
I would like to give a giant shout out to the camera that we have, the Canon S90. We took it on our trip through Asia and Europe and it was a superstar. Here you can see Jordan using it in Angkor Wat.
We love this camera because it's small (fits in a pocket) but still has full manual control. We wouldn't have most of the photos we took if we had a full size camera, it's so much more convenient when it fits in your purse or pocket. I'm not sure if we'll ever get a real DSLR, now that we've been spoiled with this one. I'm not sure you would gain much in photo quality to what you would lose in size. It's pretty much the perfect camera. If I were to get another camera I'd get an old school polaroid camera.
Here's the link to the camera we have, and the newer version.

Making a Career Change of My Own
I commented about a month ago on the high profile career changes that seemed to be going on (see The Trade Deadline Must be Drawing Near). Back then, I had no plans to make a move of my own, but I was keeping my ears open for good opportunities that would allow me to flex my SQL muscles as a newly appointed SQL Master (kind of like when a new Kung Fu master goes to the local bar to pick a fight). I was hopeful, but not expectant, that the change wouldn't require too much change.
Where am I today?
My current position is as an Operations Engineer on an operations team for the MSFT application known internally as CAP (Customer Assistance Portal). CAP is the Incident Management System used by support personnel worldwide who support any Microsoft consumer product. Basically if you can buy it in a box, off a shelf, or subscribe to it, we're the back-end and client application that the support staff are using. The CAP Operations team is a mini-team with the larger Operations team of PQO Operations. PQO (Product Quality & Online) is part of CSS (Customer Service & Support). Just about every DBA has heard of CSS but few realize that CSS is actually a very big organization that encompasses more than just PSS.
The full breadth of what PQO does is very diverse, but one of the biggest parts of that is that we mange Microsoft's online support presence. That includes things like XBox Live's support portals, the MVP website, support.microsoft.com, Visual KB, Bemis, CAP, etc. All in all, CAP Operations is a small team in comparison to all of PQO Operations. CAP Ops consists of 6 operations engineers with 3 focused on the DBA role and 3 focused on the front-end side. We actually have 3 more operations engineers who are focused on the reporting warehouse side, but we're splitting that group out from the CAP team and combining our BI applications (5 of them) into a single grouping. Even though they are still an integral part of our team, I'm not including them in the count.
Most of the applications we manage in PQO Operations have a small footprint and only have a single operations engineer assigned to them. Only a handful of us on the team are experienced DBA's and most of us are assigned to SQL heavy applications with dedicated teams. When I joined PQO Operations, there was definitely a need for providing DBA mentoring and assistance to those applications. We decided to form a virtual team of strong, experienced DBA's who are passionate about SQL Server and driving the SQL strategy for the whole team. We would basically be taking this on as extra responsibilities above and beyond our regular duties. Thus the PQO Ops SQL V-Team was born. I serve as the technical lead for the team.
Here are a few of the things we managed to accomplish in our first year:
- Create a standardized, robust backup process that could be deployed to a SQL Server by simply running a single script with no configuration required.
- The process is robust enough that it can be used for just about any situation by simply modify optional parameters of the process.
- It has built-in error handling for managing most errors that may occur including raising alerts and sending emails to notify of errors.
- It automatically takes advantage of compression for large databases using SQL LiteSpeed or SQL Server native compression.
- Ensure that every SQL Server in PQO Operations had the standardized backup solution in place unless there was a specific recovery plan in place that could not be met by the standardized backups.
- Determined which applications had high availability needs and worked with the applications' operations engineers to plan and implement a high availability strategy.
- Consulted with the engineering teams for code reviews and design strategy.
- Provided individual training with the operations engineers on how to implement and manage things like replication, mirroring, clustering, log shipping, server migrations, etc.
- Provided group training sessions on in-depth SQL Server topics.
- Published a standards and best practices document for SQL Server.
- Created a standardized SCOM management pack with the proper thresholds and alerting pre-configured along with making sure that SCOM is monitoring only what needs to be monitored along with a published standards document on monitoring SQL Server with SCOM.
- Published a production SQL Server build-out standards document for our infrastructure team to use for production roll-outs.
- Respond to SQL Server outages or troubleshoot performance issues.
- Review architectural needs on new on boarding applications.
- And more ...
Where am I going?
Sorry, I got off on a tangent there. I do that sometimes. You're not interested in my current job. You want to know about the new one.
I said that I hoped the change wouldn't require too much change, and that's what I got. It became apparent over the course of the past year, that there simply was too much work for a small V-Team to accomplish and needs weren't being addressed because there was no dedicated resource on the SQL V-Team. We had been pushing to get a dedicated resource on the V-Team, someone that could be accountable to meeting an SLA for responding to requests and driving the strategy and projects of the team. Someone who's not too busy with his own application to engage with the engineering teams and follow up with the operations team to ensure that the standards and best practices are being followed. Unfortunately, this meant that we needed to add another full-time person at a time when budgets are being downsized. Our team members all wanted it. Our leads and director of operations wanted it, but it just wasn't fiscally possible.
This week, I learned that our director had decided to go out on a limb and create the new position anyway. It required a lot of shuffling around of positions to make sure everything is covered, but in the end, it is looking to be a very positive move for a lot of people. Some very skilled operations engineers are getting to take on more responsibility which will make their work more visible and help further their career goals.
Back to me, this means anew position for me in my current org. I will transition off of CAP duties over the next couple of months and take on the full time role of SQL V-Team technical lead. My focus will be 100% on providing DBA services and mentoring to the operations team and driving the SQL strategy and architecture for the team.
Among my new commitments will be providing value to Microsoft outside of my own organization. My management team believes that my extracurricular activities provide benefit to Microsoft, and this will be part of my actual duties now. Not sure what my new title will be, but for now we are calling it DBA/Architect/Evangelist.
I have to say that I love working for an organization that supports me with my career goals and who believes that I add value not just to the team, but to the whole company.

Hubble Spies a Frenzy of Star Birth in Dwarf Galaxies
These images, taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, show myriad stars residing in the central regions of the three dwarf galaxies NGC 4163, NGC 4068, and IC 4662.
The bluish dots are younger stars; the reddish dots, older stars. The irregularly shaped red blobs in the images of NGC 4163 and IC 4662 are regions of current starburst activity. Starbursts are areas of intense star formation.
The three galaxies are part of a Hubble study of starbursts in nearby, small, or dwarf, galaxies. Based on this study, astronomers have found that starbursts continue 100 times longer than first thought, lasting 200 million to 400 million years. These galaxies show that starbursts are not isolated events, but sweep across a galaxy.
Each of the three starburst galaxies has a different shape. The collection of stars in NGC 4163 is more spherical, with a higher concentration of stars forming in the center. By contrast, the grouping of stars in NGC 4068 is more elongated and has fewer new stars than the other two galaxies. Astronomers think the starburst in this galaxy is ending. In the image of IC 4662 the clumpy red blobs peppered throughout the galaxy indicate active regions of star birth. One such region extends off the image's top, right edge. This galaxy exhibits the strongest star formation of the three galaxies in the study.
The distances of the galaxies range from 8 million to 14 million light-years away.
The images were taken in 2004 by the Advanced Camera for Surveys.

Sophie Johnen has been designing the Mya Bay jewellery range as a reflection of her own audacious, slightly crazy yet elegant style.
Modelling her first piece based on the slave bracelet was no coincidence. Her very first memories of jewellery date back to when her grandmother used to give her and women in the family 'saccalava' bracelets, which are traditional rigid bracelets worn by women from the Indian Ocean.
On the engraved bracelets, rings, earrings and brooches, Sophie has tried to communicate messages that touch her. She looks for positive meanings, with a touch of "tchiqueboum" – her own favourite quote that nobody understands, but sums it all up – a personal truth, provoking a reflection, bringing out an emotion…
Sophie also gets her inspiration from nature, art, Japanese calligraphy and textures. She has conceived a line of jewels that can be mixed together or with other jewels, and that can be worn every day and for any occasion.
Designed in Belgium, Mya Bay collections are distributed all over the world. They are dedicated to women having the sense of simplicity mixed with a touch of craziness and style.
The jewels are high-end items, brass based and plated. They come in a variety of colours such as silver, gold, pink gold, chocolate and black.
The closing system are adjustable (one-size fits all rings and the bracelets are with a 3 position closing mechanism)
You can Mix and Match the jewels to create endless combinations that suit your style.
At Browns Family Jewellers, we understand that your order is very important to you, and that means it is very important to us. We will endeavor to get your purchase to you as quickly and securely as possible using Royal Mail trackable services. We are sure you will be absolutely delighted with your purchase, however, in the rare event where you may wish to return your order, we have made our returns policy as easy as possible.

If God was all-powerful and all-loving, with free will yet perfectly good, God would create life with similar properties: with free will and perfectly good. Meaning that there would be no human-created evil, and no need for evil, suffering or death in the world in any way. However, there is evil and death in very great quantities, therefore it holds that if the situation was created by a god, rather than natural forces, then such a god is not omnipotent and benevolent. Given that such a god exists, it must be malevolent: An evil god, who created life for the sole purpose of watching life suffer.
Such a god would make life, in its very essence, impossible to exist without death, violence, suffering and struggle. Advanced life, especially, would be inherently prone to nastiness, wars, immorality, killing and causing of suffering. As this is how it is in the world, it holds that the existence of such levels of suffering, if it is the result of intelligent design, is thoroughly evil, and to call god "good" is a corruption of the truth.
As it happens, the world is as we would expect it to be if the designer of life was evil. Ancient religious minds also realized this. The Manicheans explained that this world was the creation of an evil God, and that we had to somehow escape from it. Some people criticize this, asking, if the world was designed by an evil God, why is there some happiness and goodness in the world? Why isn't the world purely evil, with only suffering?
class="IQL""A Manichean might retort that this is the worst of all possible worlds, in which the good things that exist serve only to heighten the evils. The world, he might say, was created by a wicked demiurge [who] created some virtuous men, in order that they might be punished by the wicked; for the punishment of the virtuous is so great an evil that it makes the world worse than if no good men existed. class="IQR"" "History of Western Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell, p571

Correct, but that doesn't imply that without Western interference to begin with (stemming from Imperialism) that these Islamic nations would have had functioning free societies.
Christians and Muslims have far more common with each other than with other religionists. They often act on each other's behalf and work to undermine "unbelievers" and states which entertain them such as the former USSR, and also currently in non-converted African states. They even work together to suppress others who don't subscribe to their beliefs in the Middle East. America only assisted in removing the Soviet influence from the region. By popular support Muslims chose Islamic forms of Government. The US is not either a Christian or a Jewish nation, so the Islamists do not necessarily have to make any considerations regarding its treatment.
Obviously you aren't very familiar with "Moderate Islam". Muslims choose to vote in Islamic governments and governments which hold Islam higher than other beliefs. Do they want to subvert democracy? Not necessarily. Secular democracy? Absolutely. That is their whole intention. It is impossible for secular forms of government to be compatible with Islam. The Koran itself is not merely regarded as divinely inspired by Muslims, but the words of Allah itself. God's law and God's commands are held in superior regard to all else. It was Islam which started the religious conflict in the first place. Until all non-muslims conform to God's truth there can not be peace according to Islam and it is the explicit duty of a Muslim to ensure the success of Islam as defined by the parameters listed in the Koran. Shura and Maslaha are not supportive of religious freedom or of political freedom for that matter. The Koran holds that all laws made by government may not contradict that of the Koran, shura and maslaha adhere to those basic principles. In other words Muslims shall be free to defame other religionists, but if a person of another religion or without religion attempts to counter what is written in the Koran whether from a critical or rhetorical standpoint, their opinions shall not be voiced.
So it is not troubling when Muslims make ultimatums? When they state that the Koran is the holy book for mankind as received by the prophet Mohammad and all those who do not believe in it without making some form of concession as humiliation (the jizya) they deserve to perish, you have no problems with it at all? Most Muslims are of the extreme right. In fact they are so far to the right that they the Western Christian right look like moderates. That is a main point of their contention. Westerners have come to accept concepts such as secularism, freedom of speech and freedom of democracy, while Muslims oppose all elements of free society. There is no free world in Islam, there is only submission.

You can play games to get coins, then sell them or put them in the game to generate more coins. But I think it's too slow to get POE Currency by playing games. It is recommended that you buy gold coins on the Internet while you get gold coins in the game to wait for the game level to increase.

Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
(CVS, Chorionic Villus Biopsy)
Procedure overview
What is chorionic villus sampling?
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal test that involves taking a sample of tissue from the placenta to test for chromosomal abnormalities and certain other genetic problems. The placenta is a structure in the uterus that provides blood and nutrients from the mother to the fetus.
The chorionic villi are tiny projections of placental tissue that look like fingers and contain the same genetic material as the fetus. Testing may be available for other genetic defects and disorders depending on the family history and availability of lab testing at the time of the procedure.
CVS is usually done between the 10th and 12th weeks of pregnancy. Unlike amniocentesis (another type of prenatal test), CVS does not provide information on neural tube defects, myelomeningocele (formerly referred to as spina bifida). For this reason, women who undergo CVS also need a follow-up blood test between 16 to 18 weeks of their pregnancy to screen for neural tube defects.
There are 2 types of CVS procedures:
Transcervical. In this procedure, a catheter is inserted through the cervix into the placenta to obtain the tissue sample.
Transabdominal. In this procedure, a needle is inserted through the belly and uterus into the placenta to obtain the tissue sample.
Another related procedure that may be used to diagnose genetic and chromosomal defects is amniocentesis.
Anatomy of the fetus in utero
Amniotic sac. This is a thin-walled sac that surrounds the fetus during pregnancy. The sac is filled with amniotic fluid (liquid made by the fetus) and the amnion (the membrane that covers the fetal side of the placenta). This protects the fetus from injury and helps to regulate the temperature of the fetus.
Anus. This is the opening at the end of the anal canal.
Cervix. This is the lower part of the uterus that projects into the vagina. Made up of mostly fibrous tissue and muscle, the cervix is circular in shape.
Fetus. This is a term used to describe an unborn baby from the eighth week after fertilization until birth.
Placenta. This is an organ, shaped like a flat cake, that only grows during pregnancy and provides a metabolic interchange between the fetus and mother. (The placenta allows the fetus to take in oxygen, food, and other substances and eliminates carbon dioxide and other wastes.)
Umbilical cord. This is a rope-like cord connecting the fetus to the placenta. The umbilical cord contains 2 arteries and a vein. They carry oxygen and nutrients to the fetus and waste products away from the fetus.
Uterine wall. This is the wall of the uterus.
Uterus (also called the womb). This is a hollow, pear-shaped organ located in a woman's lower belly, between the bladder and the rectum. It sheds its lining each month during menstruation and in which a fertilized egg (ovum) becomes implanted and the fetus develops.
Vagina. This is part of the female genitals sits behind the bladder and in front of the rectum. It forms a canal extending from the uterus to the vulva.
Reasons for the procedure
Chorionic villus sampling may be used for genetic and chromosome testing in the first trimester of pregnancy. Reasons that a woman might elect to undergo CVS include:
A previous child with, or family history of, a genetic disease, chromosomal abnormalities, or metabolic disorder
Maternal age over 35 years by the pregnancy due date
Risk of a sex-linked genetic disease
Previous ultrasound with questionable or abnormal findings
Abnormal cell-free DNA test
There may be other reasons for your healthcare provider to recommend a chorionic villus sampling.
Risks of the procedure
As with any invasive procedure, complications may happen. Some possible complications may include the following:
Cramping, bleeding, or leaking of amniotic fluid (water breaking)
Preterm labor
Limb defects in infants, especially in CVS procedures done before 9 weeks (rare)
People who are allergic to or sensitive to medicines or latex should notify their healthcare provider.
Women with twins or other multiples will need sampling from each placenta in order to study each baby.
There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before the procedure.
Certain factors or conditions may interfere with CVS. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
Pregnancy earlier than 7 weeks or later than 13 weeks
Position of the baby, placenta, amount of amniotic fluid, or mother's anatomy
Vaginal or cervical infection
Samples that are inadequate for testing, or that may contain maternal tissue
Before the procedure
The healthcare provider will explain the procedure to you and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have about the procedure.
You will be asked to sign a consent form that gives your healthcare provider permission to do the procedure. Read the form carefully and ask questions if anything is not clear.
Generally, there is no special restriction on diet or activity before chorionic villus sampling.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are sensitive to or are allergic to any medicines, latex, iodine, tape, and anesthetic agents (local and general).
Tell your healthcare provider of all medicines (prescribed and over-the-counter) and herbal supplements that you are taking.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of bleeding disorders or if you are taking any anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medicines, aspirin, or any other medicines that may affect blood clotting. It may be necessary for you to stop these medicines before the procedure.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are Rh negative. During the CVS procedure, blood cells from the mother and fetus can mix. This may lead to Rh sensitization and breaking down of fetal red blood cells. In most cases, prenatal blood tests will have determined whether you are Rh negative. You may be asked to provide these lab results before the procedure.
You may or may not be asked to have a full bladder right before the procedure. Depending on the position of the uterus and placenta, a full or empty bladder may help move the uterus into a better position for the procedure.
Based on your medical condition, your healthcare provider may request other specific preparation.
During the procedure
A CVS procedure may be done on an outpatient basis, or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.
Generally, a CVS procedure follows this process:
You will be asked to undress completely, or from the waist down, and put on a hospital gown.
You will be asked to lie down on an exam table.
Your vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate) will be checked.
An ultrasound will be performed to check the fetal heart rate, and the position of the placenta, fetus, and umbilical cord.
Based on the location of the placenta, the CVS procedure will be performed through your cervix (transcervical) or through your abdominal wall (transabdominal).
For a transcervical CVS procedure:
The healthcare provider will insert an instrument called a speculum into your vagina so that he or she can see your cervix.
Your vagina and cervix will be cleansed with an antiseptic solution.
Using ultrasound guidance, a thin tube will be guided through the cervix to the chorionic villi.
Cells will be gently suctioned through the tube into a syringe. You may feel a twinge or slight cramping. More than one sample may be needed to obtain enough tissue for testing.
The tube will then be removed.
For a transabdominal CVS procedure:
For an abdominal CVS, your belly will be cleansed with an antiseptic. You will be instructed not to touch the sterile area on your belly during the procedure.
The healthcare provider may inject a local anesthetic to numb the skin. If a local anesthetic is used, you will feel a needle stick when the anesthetic is injected. This may cause a brief stinging sensation.
Ultrasound will be used to help guide a long, thin, hollow needle through your belly and into the uterus and placenta. This may be slightly painful, and you may feel a cramp as the needle enters the uterus.
Cells will be gently suctioned into a syringe. More than one sample may be needed to obtain enough tissue for testing.
The needle will then be removed. An adhesive bandage will be placed over the abdominal needle insertion site.
Procedure completion, both methods:
The fetus' heart rate and your vital signs will be reassessed.
If you are Rh negative, you may be given Rho(D) immune globulin. This is a specially developed blood product that can prevent an Rh negative mother's antibodies from reacting to Rh positive fetal cells.
The chorionic villus tissue will be sent to the lab.
After the procedure
You and your fetus will be monitored for a while after the procedure. Your vital signs and the fetal heart rate will be checked periodically for an hour or longer.
The CVS tissue will be sent to a specialty genetics lab for analysis. Counseling with a genetics specialist may be recommended depending on the test results.
You may experience some slight cramping and light spotting for a few hours after CVS.
You should rest at home and avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours. You should not douche or have sexual intercourse for 2 weeks, or until directed by your healthcare provider.
Call your healthcare provider to report any of the following:
Any bleeding or leaking of amniotic fluid from the needle puncture site or the vagina
Fever and/or chills
Severe abdominal pain and/or cramping
If a transabdominal procedure was performed, check the bandaged needle site on your belly for any bleeding or drainage of fluid.
Your healthcare provider may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.

Ho'oponopono: Hawaiian Healing Prayer Meditation
What is the Hawaiian Healing Technique Ho'oponopono?
I was first introduced to Ho'oponopono a few years back through Dr Joe Vitale (He starred in the hit movie "The Secret"). And thank goodness I've come across this beautiful healing technique.
This healing Hawaiian prayer is based around 4 sentences or mantras that can help you to erase old data and forgive yourself. The sentences are as follows:
I am sorry
I love you
Please forgive me
Thank you
These powerful words have profound healing effects when we use them on ourselves. Please, allow me to share with you a video by Dr Hew Len explaining Ho'oponopono. (This is a 9 part series), I am sharing the first video here.
It is only when we erase our old and outdated data, can we truly begin to get on with our lives and live fully in the present moment.
We present to you now, The Ho'oponopono Healing Hawaiian prayer. Written with such sensitivity by Amelia Schmelzer with music by Dr Christopher Lloyd Clarke from Australia and spoken by Jason Stephenson from Relax Me Online.
The Ho'oponopono Healing Technique Guided Meditation
MP3 Version Available to purchase below.
How Can Ho'oponopono Heal Relationships?
Ho'oponopono has the power not only to heal yourself, but in doing so, it will spread far and wide and heal all those who come into contact with you.
You see, love is like ripples in a pond, when you are overflow with love, it can only help others who come into contact with you. When you act as an 'empty vessel', you are allowing others to be who they truly are, in your presence. This is healing within itself.
Work on healing yourself. Work on loving yourself with this Ho'oponopono Hawaiian prayer of forgiveness. Watch your life begin to unfold with so much more peace, love, joy and well-being.
I am sorry
I love you
Please forgive me
Thank you
How Can I Use The Ho'oponopono Healing Technique?
You can use the Ho'oponopono healing technique in a number of ways. Firstly, use the guided YouTube meditation on a daily basis.I find morning or night time works best. When you cannot be disturbed by anyone else. Make sure your cell phone is switched off and no one will enter into your sacred space.
When you listen to this meditation, repeat the mantra to yourself when Jason speaks it. Say it out loud or say it mentally to yourself.
Now, you don't even have to listen to this meditation, you can simply say these words to yourself (the above mantra) over and over again when you are doing your exercise, out walking or even laying in bed. It doesn't matter where you say this, as long as you do so… and say it from deep within your soul.
You can also watch this YouTube video below that simply has the words repeated over and over again. This is valuable!

Jalapeno paste: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the oregano, shallot, garlic, butter, 2 tbsp. olive oil, the jalapeno, salt and pepper and process to form a coarse paste.
Chicken: Pat the chicken dry and then put it, breast side up, on a rack in a large roasting pan. Using your fingers, loosen the skin from the chicken breast, legs, and thighs without detaching it. Spread half of the jalapeno paste under the skin. Put the rosemary and the shallots in the cavity of the chicken. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine. Spread the remaining jalapeno paste all over the exterior of the chicken. Pour the chicken broth and wine into the roasting pan.
Roast the chicken for 1 hour, basting with the pan juices every 20 minutes, adding more broth to the pan if it begins to dry out.
Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Arrange the baby broccoli snugly around the chicken on the rack. Drizzle the olive oil over the florets and season them with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast the chicken with the baby broccoli, basting occasionally with the pan juices (adding more broth to the pan if necessary), until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the innermost part of the chicken thigh, without touching the bone, registers 160 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Remove the roast chicken from the oven, tent it in foil and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Arrange the chicken on a platter, and surround it with the broccoli. Serve.

Special Issue "Modeling, Testing and Reliability Issues in MEMS Engineering"
A special issue of Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220). This special issue belongs to the section "Physical Sensors".
Deadline for manuscript submissions: closed (31 December 2008)

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) are devices on a millimeter scale, with micro-resolution. Each MEMS is given by the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators and electronics on a common silicon substrate, obtained through micro-fabrication technology.
MEMS are often designed to work in mobile devices, and are therefore subject during their life to accidental mechanical loadings. Because of the MEMS size, multi-scale analyses are sometimes required in reliability analysis. Furthermore, also thermal, electrical, magnetic and environmental actions should be accounted for in a fully coupled multi-physics modelling of the devices.
As for packaging, some technical problems caused to the devices are not yet thoroughly understood and solved. Since standards do not necessarily apply to packaged MEMS, new knowledge-based testing methodologies need to be proposed.
The aim of this special issue is to collect high quality research results on all these aspects of MEMS engineering.

Ascent of Sněžka on 1993-07-27
Greg Slayden
Other People:
Solo Ascent
Tuesday, July 27, 1993
Ascent Type:
Successful Summit Attained
Czech Republic/Poland
5259 ft / 1602 m
Ascent Trip Report
I left Prague at 10 AM and started driving northwest towards the mountains, since I wanted to restart my peak-bagging after a hiatus by ascending Snezhka, the world's newest country high-point--highest in the Czech Republic for almost eight months now. I drove straight from Prague to Pec Pod Snezkou, a resort village at the base of the Krkonose Range of the Carpathians--my only stop was when a German guy motioned for me to pull over so he could point out a loose cable underneath my car which wasn't really anything. Also, since I had bought a cassette tape in Prague, I could listen to Guns'n'Roses without having to worry about bad reception.
At crowded Pec I was motioned to go and park in distant lot number 4, at the far end of a road, and, even though it was now 2 PM, I decided to go and try to climb Snezhka, since it looked like an easy hike. It was, but first I couldn't find the right trail, finally bought a good topographic map from a roadside kiosk, and had to hike down the road I was on and then uphill to the north. Soon I found the wide, easy, crowded hiking trail leading to the peak. However, the weather was terrible, especially up above timberline, where it was totally fogged in, raining hard, and awfully windy.
The main crest of the range marked the Czech-Polish border, so when I reached the hut in the col just west of Snezhka I entered Poland for the first time. The last section of path was paved with stones and gained the summit from the Polish side in really, really bad white-out conditions. The summit area of Snezhka--1602 meters (5255 feet)--was a typical rocky mountaintop with several buildings (none open), cairns, border markers, and a fair amount of hikers despite the weather. I took some dumb pictures and talked to a few people in my badly broken Russian and getting assurances that this indeed now as the highest point in the Czech Republic now that Slovakia had seceded--one was a young, bored Polish soldier guarding the border.
I retreated from the summit quickly, glad there was a wide, paved trail down as the wind and rain ripped across the mountain. After a rest at the hut, I hiked the 2000-odd vertical feet down to Pec easily in the rain, got to my car by 6:30 PM, and drove south. My plan for lodging tonight was to pull over at one of the numerous houses along the roads advertising "Zimmer Frei", "room available" in German.
