When I recently started my new position, one of the perks that came along with it was being able to work in downtown. I usually get to explore for a few minutes before or after work, and sometimes at lunch. Lately I've started taking even more pictures as I peruse my way around.
Can you believe I actually get to eat here pretty much any day I want to. "The Tower", do a google search for Fort Worth Tower Tornado and you will see how far they have taken this building since 2001.
Just a few shots walking around the Sundance Square area.
I think it might be time to invest in a really good quality DSLR. Any suggestions?
I bought a Canon Eos T3i Rebel 2 yrs ago and have not once regretted the decision.
I've been looking at the Canon EOS Rebel SL1, just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Coming in February 2004, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 features an exciting new breed of intelligent tools that allow users to complete design tasks twice as fast. Graphic professionals and business users alike will find that this powerful graphics suite helps them work faster, complete more projects, and impress more clients. Building on the success of one of the worlds most popular software titles, the latest version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite saves designers time by giving them tools that reduce the number of clicks or steps required to get their jobs done. Offering unrivalled value, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 gives customers the incredible power of three integrated graphics applications, plus a collection of other useful tools and utilities all in one box. The new suite includes CorelDRAW 12 for illustration, page-layout and vector drawing; Corel PHOTO-PAINT 12 for professional digital imaging; and Corel R.A.V.E. 3 for motion-graphics creation. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 is a testament to our longstanding reputation for graphics excellence and innovation. This new suite introduces a level of performance that goes beyond anything that users of any other graphics program have seen before, said Gavin Watson, Director, Corel Pty Ltd, Asia Pacific. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite now responds in ways never before possible. It builds a deeper partnership between designers and their tools providing software that intelligently interprets and reacts to the users needs. Customers will see firsthand that the impact on productivity is exceptional. Intelligent New Tools Reduce Design Time and Increase Productivity With CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12, the creative process is simplified by the introduction of new intelligent tools that speed the creation of designs. These new tools, in combination with time-saving enhancements and improvements to Corels legendary file compatibility, help ensure that important deadlines are met. Users will experience immediate benefits from the new, intelligent tools and other enhancements included in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12. Some of the new features in the suite include: New! Smart Drawing tool When a designer needs to sketch a design and get ideas down fast with professional results, the Smart Drawing tool unique to Corel is key to getting the job done. The Smart Drawing tool has built-in intelligence to automatically recognise many shapes including circles, triangles, arrows and parallelograms. It intelligently smooths curves,minimising the number of steps required to produce polished graphics. Another key time-saver is the Smart Drawing tools ability to cleverly interpret freehand line drawings, instantly applying symmetry and balance so that designers can easily create perfect forms, on the fly. New! Dynamic Guides Available only in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12, Dynamic Guides offer unprecedented levels of control, letting designers create a shape, draw a line, or place an object exactly where they want it, in one step. When Dynamic Guides are turned on, temporary guides appear, which can be pulled from the object snap points in the drawing. The new guides also provide customisable tick divisions, enabling users to move the cursor in even divisions along the guide and find the perfect spot for placing their text or objects. As users move objects around documents, the guides automatically change, instantly delivering important information so that any necessary adjustments can be made with ease. These intelligent enhancements dramatically reduce design time by allowing users to create, size and position objects easily and precisely, with fewer clicks. Enhanced! Snap to Objects Snap to Objects saves designers significant time when laying out projects by enabling them to quickly and precisely draw or modify objects in relation to each other. Users get real-time feedback as they mouse over snapping areas on objects and can choose to snap to any or all of the following: Node, Intersection, Midpoint, Quadrant, Tangent, Perpendicular, Edge of objects and lines, Centre, Text Baseline or Printable Area. New! Text Features When working with text, users can see detailed changes to type including leading and kerning regardless of the zoom level, enabling them to view and manipulate text on-screen with ease. With the new text features and enhanced text layout functionality in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12, users now enjoy the same superior control over text as they do with graphics. New! Unicode Support Easily share files with colleagues around the world and seamlessly incorporate multiple languages into a single design, no matter which language version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 is being used. Unicode text allows the software to store more than 65,000 unique characters, making a broader range of language characters available to users. This means that any text entered on any system will be maintained, including English, Japanese, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek and others. New! Export For Office Create stunning graphics in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 and easily bring them into office documents. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 is a perfect companion to office suites, making it possible to easily preview and import graphics files into text documents, slide presentations and spreadsheets without needing to worry about file format compatibility. Intelligently selecting the most appropriate format (.png, .emf or .wpg) for the intended use, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 works with both Microsoft Office and WordPerfect Office to help users create high-impact business documents. New! Touch-up brush Users can remove defects (dust, scratches, etc.) in their digital images and see the results in real time. The Touch-up brush also features flexible strength values that allow the user tocustomisethe strength of the tool. The Touch-up brush provides a dedicated tool to perform common image/photo touch-ups by intelligently covering unwanted areas. The more the designer brushes over the affected area, the more the effect is amplified.

More tools, stability and improvements that take you to a higher level of performance and creativity. This is truly cutting-edge stuff. I'd buy this package for the new snapping features alone. They allow me to work with greater precision and save me a lot of time, said Yannick Mnard, Graphic Designer. For many of our corporate and government customers, creating professional graphics isnt just the job of the design department. More and more business users are incorporating business graphics into their day-to-day workflow, said Harry Zoberman, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Operations at ASAP.

Corel Smart Graphics Studio Now Available 2003-05-07T13:49:00Z corel-smart-graphics-studio-now-available Corel Corporation (NASDAQ: CORL, TSX: COR) today announced the availability of Corel Smart Graphics Studio, a development platform designed to speed and simplify the creation of SVG-based smart graphics. Smart graphics are a new form of enterprise-class, graphically-rich application built using open standard SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) to transform XML and legacy data into powerful and compelling intranet and extranet applications. "Enterprise and government organisations are incorporating XML as a key technology component in their IT development strategies. XML-based technologies that can be used to build dynamic applications that are data-driven and feature rich are drawing the attention of developers within these organisations," said Rikki Kirzner, Research Director at IDC. "SVG is an open standard, XML-based language that can be used to create graphics and images to represent information in a more effective and understandable manner. It also provides the ability to dynamically interact with intranet and extranet applications. SVG is a key XML technology being considered by many professional developers." SVG-based applications are ideal for enterprise and government customers for a variety of purposes including interactive electronic technical publishing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), schematic diagramming, and building Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). "WIPRO has taken keen interest in the Corel Smart Graphics Studio because of its adherence to enterprise class open standards. We are excited to be testing the product with our enterprise IT consulting practice enabling us to reduce the time and costs associated with delivering visual interfaces to our back-end development efforts," said Ajay Kumar, Marketing Manager, Corporate Vertical at WIPRO Technologies. Corel Smart Graphics Studio enables System Integrators and IT departments to reduce the cost and complexity of building and delivering SVG-based applications. Based on XML, SVG, and XSLT, applications built with Corel Smart Graphics Studio are not dependent on proprietary technology and are highly interoperable with existing tools and infrastructure. Corel Smart Graphics Studio enables application developers to easily produce extensible solutions by maintaining a separation between the graphical, functional and data components of an application, resulting in significantly increased application development ROI. "Many organizations are turning to XML and open standard Web services to ensure the easy exchange and longevity of their data and information. As a result, SVG application development is on the rise enabling developers to deliver these services in a compelling way, while maintaining an end-to-end XML infrastructure," said Gavin Watson, Director Corel Pty Limited. Gavin Watson added, "Many enterprises have long recognized the power SVG offers for creating graphical solutions, but were challenged with the task of hand coding these applications a very time consuming and expensive process. Corel Smart Graphics Studio enables developers to deliver these applications in a fraction of the time, and as a result, will further spur the adoption of the SVG standard." Corel Smart Graphics Studio is composed of four integrated applications: 1. Corel Developer SG Corel Developer SG includes three components: Design Window enables application developers to design client interfaces while working in a visual development environment; Template Builder lets application developers prepare SVG documents with dynamic objects for data mappings; Data Mapper allows application developers to define the connections between the inputs of an SVG template and the data. 2. Corel Process Builder Corel Process Builder lets application developers build processes for binding multiple data sources including XML, ODBC, Web Services, and legacy data. The data is then combined with graphics and application logic to create a run-time process. Process Builder allows the developer to visually create server-side processes using drag-and-drop modules. There is no need to learn complicated scripting languages. 3. Corel Server SG Corel Server SG is a high performance platform for the management and transformation of application data and images. Processes created in the Process Builder are executed on the Server. Corel Server SG is available in both developer and enterprise editions. 4. Corel SVG Viewer Corel SVG Viewer is a Web browser plug-in that lets application developers view and interact with the SVG graphics as they develop the application interface. It offers: unparalleled rendering capability; compliance with open standards; an ActiveX control for integration with enterprise applications. Pricing and Availability Corel Smart Graphics Studio is available for download from www.corel.com now. It will be widely available through Corels reseller partners starting June 2003. For more information about Corel Smart Graphics Studio or to download a free trial version, please visit www.corel.com/smartgraphics. The trial version includes a Get Started guide and tutorials to introduce system integrators and IT professionals to simplified SVG smart graphics application development.

The time for planning is before you start.
Let's assume that the expenses for the renovation project will be $50,000.00 and you expect to make $100,000.00 on top of that.
If you live in the house, then it may qualify as a "principal residence" and you get to keep the entire $100,000.00 profit yourself. That may be your best option, certainly if this is your first time.
So, don't do anything that makes it look like you're "in the business of flipping".
One or more of the above may be fine, but too many might very well be fatal to the principal residence exemption. That's a general comment, not specific. In some cases, certain "big box" hardware retailers will make available contractor's discounts to just about everybody. All you have to do is apply, and there is no requirement to be a licenced contractor. The discount is simply based on certain minimum purchases over a period of time. My comment is not directed to that situation but rather to representations on the discount application which if presented to the CRA would be troublesome. In some cases, the more projects you might do the higher the discount. This should be at best a "one-off", if you say that you have 15 projects "on the go", that's not going to be helpful.
Last year, as in 2017, taxpayers were required to advise if they disposed of a principal residence within the taxation year. Why? Too many people were doing it on multiple occasions and the Canada Revenue Agency didn't know anything about it. Going forward, the CRA will have your information "on file".
So, bottom line is that if you wish to utilize the principal residence exemption, then don't look like you are in "business".

Are We IN Christ or Just in Church?
It is the Father's doing that we who have believed INTO His Son (the true meaning of John 3:15, 16, 18 and all the other salvation verses in the N.T.) are placed IN Him by that same faith. The word "in" referring to Christ Jesus is found in more than eighty verses in the New Testament, yet we spend our whole religious lives oblivious to where we live and to how many are the privileges we have in where the Father has placed us. Instead we see ourselves in this world to the extent that we are OF the world. The church system has inoculated us against who we are IN Christ.
We in Christendom have been taught that the more we are in our respective churches and their functions, the more we are "in Christ." The "church" has become "our wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification and redemption" not Christ Jesus. Even focusing on being "out of the church system" can fall short of who we are IN Christ when it becomes our identity.
When Jesus is our All in all, then we have unity for IN Him we all have the same redemption (salvation), the same wisdom of the Spirit, the same righteousness and the same sanctification. It is ALL of Him and not of the whims of religious men and their doctrines or of ourselves. Only as we each live and move and have our being IN Christ Jesus will we know the unity in the Father which is ours.
"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus…" LITERALLY!
Jesus said to the learned scribes and Pharisees, "You search the scriptures and in them you think you will find life and it is these which speak of me, but you will not come to me that you might have life." The more that things change, the more that the mind of religion remains the same.
…the difference between soul and spirit is very clear and definite. The spirit is the organ of spiritual knowledge, and spiritual knowledge is very different from natural or soul knowledge. How does God know things, and by what means does God come to His conclusions, decisions? On what basis of knowledge does He run the universe? Is it by reasoning inductively, deductively, philosophically, logically, comparatively? Surely all this laboriousness of brain is unknown to God. His knowledge and conclusions are intuitive. Intuition is that faculty of spiritual intelligence by which all spiritual beings work. Angels serve the will of God by intuitive discernment of that will, not by argued and reasoned conviction. The difference between these two is witnessed to by the whole monument of spiritual achievement. If human reason, the natural judgment and 'common sense' had been the ruling law, most, if not all, of the giant pieces of work inspired by God would never have been undertaken. Men who had a close walk with God and a living spirit-fellowship with Him, received intuitively a leading to such purposes, and their vindication came, not by the approval of natural reason, but usually with all such reason in opposition. 'Madness' was usually the verdict of this world's 'wisdom'. Whenever they, like Abraham, allowed the natural mind to take precedence over the spiritual mind, they became bewildered, paralysed, and looked round for some 'Egypt' way of the senses, along which to go for help. In all this we are "justified in the spirit", not in the flesh. The spirit and the soul act independently, and until the spiritual mind has established complete ascendency over the natural mind, they are constantly in conflict and contradiction. In all the things which are out from God and therefore spiritual, "the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the spirit is life and peace" (Rom 8:6). This, then, is the nature of spiritual knowledge.
The only knowledge of God which is of spiritual value for ourselves, or for others by our ministry, is that which we have by revelation of the Holy Spirit within our own spirits. God never—in the first instance—explains Himself to man's reason, and man can never know God—in the first instance—by reason. Christianity is a revelation or it is nothing, and it has to be that in the case of every new child of God; otherwise faith will be resting upon a foundation which will not stand in the day of the ordeal.
'The Christian Faith' embraced as a religion, a philosophy, or as a system of truth, a moral or ethical doctrine, may carry the temporary stimulus of a great ideal; but this will not result in the regeneration of the life, or the new birth of the spirit. There are multitudes of such 'Christians' in the world today, but their spiritual effectiveness is nil.
The Apostle Paul makes it very clear that the secret of everything in his life and service was the fact that he received his gospel "by revelation". We may even know the Bible most perfectly as a book, and yet be spiritually dead and ineffective. When the Scriptures say so much about the knowledge of God and of the truth as the basis of eternal life, resulting in being set free, doing exploits, etc., they also affirm that man cannot by searching find out God, and they make it abundantly clear that it is knowledge in the spirit, not in the natural mind.


The Bible is historically accurate. Since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, historians were able to compare Biblical writings of what we have today with that of the manuscripts found. The scrolls prove that the Bible have been extraordinarily preserved.
Contrary to the teaching of a certain religious ideology whose scriptures were written after the Bible, Jesus was certainly crucified and not evicted from the cross as their scriptures would like to claim.
To be unbiased in judgement on the Bible's credibility means applying the same rules of acceptance as one would for other historical topics. To dismiss the Bible based on reason that the evidence is not convincing would call for equal judgement of other historical topics since the Bible's historical backings far surpasses theirs in number and or witnesses.
So I was reading an article and the writer penned "that doesn't mean the original copy was history…". As I understand, his point is that even though we have these scrolls, doesn't mean they are true or the accounts were actual events. True. But he forgets or ignores the Bible contains a lot of prophetic writing. So if we have writings predating the fulfillment of prophecies, then certainly we can credit the manuscripts to be authentic and accounting for actual events!
Some would claim that people can just read a prophecy and purposely make it happen. Okay then, what a stretch! Here's a list of fulfilled prophecies. Isaiah is well documented from the Dead Sea Scrolls. So looking at that alone would suffice. It would take some superb directing to orchestrate a betrayer, the crucifixion between thieves, the beatings, and Jesus miraculous healings during His ministry etc to make this all believable. Not even Steven Spielberg could pull it off. What a challenge it would be for those who like to claim that people of the past were simple minded!


How much Art is there in the Translation?
Would you consider a translation process a piece of art?
If the translation is an art, is a translator an artist?
And if the answers are yes, how creative a translator should be?
It seems as if we, people, have the intuition about what is beautiful, pleasant and esthetical. Whether it is about music or lyrics, we unintentionally evaluate its elements like rhythm, rhyme, diction, tone, movements, style and millions of other factors that make us define and classify everything we see, hear, and read.
If a given element of the construction doesn't match our ideas of aesthetics, we feel uncomfortable and frustrated.
The translator must have deep knowledge and attention towards the way the words interact, how they sound in reference to one another, how the writing of a word in the context of a specific idea and theme leads to the use of another world, which in turn leads to using the third one and so on.
The "organic" sentence has to sound natural, logical, and its elements need to be consistent. This way, the translation, the "manipulation" of words of a given language, with the purpose to transform them into logical and beautiful equivalent sentences in another language is really art.
Every language out there follows certain rules that control articulation, the relationship between the elements, etc. It is quite possible that this connection and logical structure can be transferred to another language but it often happens that some items from the source cannot create a clear logical structure in the target language.
Every language consists of fine nuances of meaning and its own overwhelming logic about the way words connect and "vibrate" together. However, phrases in any language can be translated in a way that the target language can reflect the exact idea, so it sounds natural and nice.
The world of art history translation can often be highly complex and wide-ranging in content and draws on any number of other fields and disciplines, such as history, philosophy, politics, literature, economics, and even medicine. Many different text types and linguistic registers also demand a variety of approaches requiring translators to be flexible, conversant with stylistic norms in each area and aware of the expectations of different types of audiences.
There are people who believe that translation is a type of art. Evidently, this process takes years of experience but once it is mastered, it can be most exciting for a translator. Literally, what a translator does, is he/she converts a picture in one language and paints it with the words of the other language. This process takes creativity and imagination as the translator must think.
What a translator is doing when they are translating, is actually interpreting a message, figuring out what it means in one language and then they are translating it into another language. Most of the time translation is not done literally. There are some words that translate literally like numbers and maybe some health and safety processes and procedures. The second you get outside of a process or a procedure things are not literal anymore.
Essentially, translation is an art because the translator is trying to figure out what is meant in one language and then is basically painting a picture of what is meant in the other language. When you are dealing with different cultures and ethnicities, you are really translating a message and what is intended from the speaker into the new culture with now adding on a layer of cultural sensitivity.
There are actually a few times where he was saying some things that the interpreter just could not translate what he said because it would be an absolute offense to a person of the other language. So the translator would have had to creatively come out with a way to communicate his message to the target audience without slandering the person who was saying it. The translator has to reflect on the actual meaning and intentions of the person for whom is being translated before interpreting the message. A translator really has to understand a message and then paint that picture in the target language so that it comes across with the intended meaning vs the literal meaning.
That's why we believe that translation is an art because it gives a translator the opportunity to paint the picture of what they believe is the meaning of this other one. And this is subjective, many translators may translate a message differently. Sometimes is very difficult to even understand what people mean in a native language and never mind translating it into another language. Translating something is definitely a creative process and the more we understand the writer's intended words what they really want to say the easier would be to paint that picture in the target language. But it still requires an enormous amount of creativity because some things just don't translate. You sometimes have to imagine the author of the source text as a character and imbue them with personality traits that come out in their tone and style. This is in some ways fiction, of course, and introduces the risk that the translator will insert their own beliefs or attitudes into a text in place of what was actually intended.
Because we are creating a new work every time we work on a translation, something that is based on the original text, but which is a wholly different thing. No matter how closely we try to stick to the original in tone, intent, and content, we cannot help but create aspects of it – and thus we are engaged in a creative work.

Extract of sample "Unethical Advertisements: Offensive Portrayal of Women"
Download file to see previous pages Advertising is one of the most important tools in the promotion channels which can be used by any organization to popularize its product. Either talk about electronic media or print media, a TV channel or a news paper, a poster or a road hoarding, advertising is still an effective medium to convey the message of the organization to the target audience. Advertising is also referred towards marketing communication. While talking to anybody we should take care of the ethics of the context as well as that of the receiver also. Business ethics is a very important topic in this globalised world. So when advertising is considered there is an important issue regarding ethics which must be assured to the target audience. The firm who is going to advertise any of its products must deem the theme of its advertisement before launching it. The advertisement content must remain under the boundaries of cultural ethics. Generally speaking the three moral standards of advertising must be truthfulness, social responsibility and the dignity of each and every individual either a man or a woman (Ethics in Advertising, n.d.). But it is usually seen that the female part of the society is not truly represented or we can say that they are not shown in a positive way. This essay mainly focuses on the wrong depiction of the women in the advertisements. According to one of the authors "advertising sometimes creates controversial issues which cause problems to the society" (Amoako, 2012).
Promotion is the element which shows the thinking pattern of the company towards their customers as well as the whole society (Brunello, n.d.). Therefore the makers should keenly focus on the theme of their advertisement that how it will be treated by the common people. In this 21st century, the advertisements which focus on the gender roles and responsibilities or their in-between relationships are usually very common. Usually females or women are exposed as sex entity in such kinds of advertisements (Dahlberg & Zimmerman, 2008). This orientation is really very dangerous for the young generation they get bad conception from such advertisements and thus the evil roots starts in the society. According to a research, while the prime time on the television, when there is highest number of television viewers, the two third of the content presented on TV contains sexual relationships which definitely creates a bad image of women and also provokes the youth towards hidden parts of a social and ethical life. The role of women in the advertisements is always a thought provoking matter for the society (Robert & Koggen, 1979). Women are usually presented in these advertisements as a housewife, as a decorative entity, as a sex object or even in the sense of dependent on men. Except housewife these all dimensions disgrace the role of women in the society. Whenever these advertisements depict men or women in their themes then it surely have some meaning in its content. Men are usually meant for power, force, sportsman and rich. But a woman is always meant for sex and the beauty (Jacobson & Mazur, 1995). Usually the advertisements focusing the beauty of woman make the other women to feel insecure about their own personality (Women's role in the Advertisements, 2011). There are certain advertisements which focus on the enhancement of the appealing personality and the beauty in a negative sense. These kind of ...Download file to see next pagesRead More

Advertising involves the repetition of the name or image of a product with the aim of associating it with particular qualities with the brand in the minds of the consumers.

...?Full On Advertisements Advertising is the process employed by companies to let people know about their products, the benefits gained from their products and to encourage them to buy the said products. In this process, models are very essential because they are easily identified by consumers. However, it is also important for advertisers to employ psychologists who study about what would make consumers tick. For instance, the first products to come out in the market usually set the name of their company to be recognized for those certain products. Toothpastes for example are often associated with Colgate because it was the first to have mass produced it. People for decades stuck to...

The effect of the advertisement is amplified by the fact that one of the girls seems to look directly towards the audience, establishing thus a connection with the one the product is primarily addressed to. And more than that, the setting is an intimate one, a cheerful, luminous and comfortable room.

Gnaphalium norvegicum is een overblijvende kruidachtige plant uit de composietenfamilie (Asteraceae of Compositae), die vooral te vinden is in de subalpiene- en alpiene zone van het hooggebergte.

In Europa is deze plant te vinden in de meeste gebergtes, vooral in Schotland en Scandinavië.

Naamgeving en etymologie
De botanische naam Gnaphalium is afgeleid van het Oudgriekse γνάφαλον, gnaphalon (wolstreng) en verwijst naar de beharing van de planten. De soortaanduiding norvegicum verwijst naar de plaats waar de plant het eerst als aparte soort erkend werd, Noorwegen.

Synoniemen zijn: Gamochaeta norvegica (Gunnerus) Gren., Gnaphalium fuscatum Pers., Gnaphalium fuscum Lam., Gnaphalium medium Vill., Gnaphalium sylvaticum var. brachystachys Ledeb., Gnaphalium sylvaticum var. fuscatum Wahlenb., Synchaeta norvegica (Gunnerus) Kirp., Omalotheca norvegica

Kenmerken
Gnaphalium norvegicum is een overblijvende kruidachtige plant die 10 tot 30 cm hoog wordt, met een behaarde, bebladerde, rechtopstaande stengel. De bladeren zijn lancetvormig, drienervig, groen, aan de bovenzijde zijdeachtig-wollig en aan de onderzijde dicht viltig behaard. De middelste stengelbladeren zijn langer dan de onderste en bovenste.

De bloemhoofdjes staan in een bebladerde, gedrongen aar. De schutblaadjes zijn even lang of iets langer dan de bloemhoofdjes. De omwindselblaadjes zijn groen, met een donkerbruine rand, de bloemhoofdjes zelf zijn lichtbruin van kleur. De zaden zijn voorzien van vruchtpluis en verspreiden zich met de wind.

De plant bloeit van juli tot september.

Habitat en verspreiding
Gnaphalium norvegicum groeit vooral in de subalpiene- en alpiene zone van het hooggebergte. Hij wordt vooral aangetroffen op kalkarme, vochtige en beschaduwde plaatsen zoals op  alpiene graslanden en puinhellingen, op hoogtes van 1.000 tot 2.800 m.

Hij is verspreid over Eurazië - vooral in Schotland, Scandinavië en de meeste Europese gebergtes - en in gebergtes in Noord-Amerika.

Verwante en gelijkende soorten
Gnaphalium norvegicum is nauw verwant aan en sterk gelijkend op de bosdroogbloem (G. sylvaticum), en werd door Linnaeus aanvankelijk als een variëteit van deze laatste aanzien. Johan Ernst Gunnerus, een Noorse bisschop en botanicus, merkte in 1772 op dat er consistente verschillen tussen beide bestonden, zoals de bredere bladeren met drie nerven (tegenover één nerf voor de bosdroogbloem) en de kortere en dichtere bloeiwijze van G. norvegicum.

On this weeks episode, we talk about the previous week for FC Edmonton, and how a draw vs. York and a win vs. Pacific could be a sign that things are turning around. We also talk about the fixture congestion (again) and how it's affecting the quality of matches league wide.
On this weeks episode, we talk about the FC Edmonton beating York 9 but how that wasn't enough to advance in the Voyageurs Cup. We also talk about FC Edmonton's loss to Cavalry FC in the Al Classico and how disappointing the result was despite seeing some of the best soccer from FCE.
Adam is then joined by Eric of the Nine Stripes podcast to talk about York 9's play this season, a recap of the Voyageurs Cup matches and look ahead to the upcoming league match between the two clubs. And of course, we get an update on some former Eddies and how Eric rates them.
On this weeks episode, we take the opportunity of the break in CPL action to take a more level headed approach on what happened last week and look ahead to this weeks Voyageurs Cup matchups. Further on this note, we ask some key questions about FC Edmonton on the return leg against York 9. Can they keep a clean sheet? Can they score 2 goals? If they win but don't advance, does it help momentum for their play in the league?
Fill out the Alberta Podcast Network Survey!
For the first time ever, we record a podcast coming off three losses in a week. And coming off those three losses, we try our best to find some positives. We also are quite critical in the results and how the team performed as a whole for 90 minutes in each game. We also try to determine what this club needs to do to already turn this season around.

Such drivel. The support calls were killing me, I had to escape the insanity. I pushed back from my desk and stood. My partner, Nacho Flaherty, looked at me, his expression a visual question mark.
Speaking of questions, in case you're asking, my name is Spinner. Rick Spinner. I carry an ID badge. I'm a consultant, a PC tech and darn fine liar when I have to be. It's the unspoken credo of my profession: Fix it when you can, lie your way to safety when you can't. Sometimes I think the public is on to us, but then I spin a wild tale of Cluster-linked RAM failure or Sanitary Packet Download and rediscover how my mumbo-jumbo still holds truth in the minds of the unsuspecting. God bless techno-babble.
"Big baby." Nacho said. His tone was cool, even peevish.
Hmmm… he had me there, couldn't say that I'd ever welded a metric-ton anything to an Arcnet modem. More importantly, what the heck was an Arcnet modem?
I narrowed my eyes even more. I couldn't tell whose eyes were narrower, by now mine were completely closed. I kind of liked this eyes shut approach; it seemed to lend itself to napping.
I started toward the coffee pot and considered my options. Truth be told, I was disappointed. I'd hoped Nacho would decline the cup of holy water, which in turn, would allow me to tank up and just wander for awhile. So what if I'd taken only one support call all morning? Who'd want to take that many?
As I was considering how to avoid work, I failed to avoid a person. We collided roughly, a shoulder and knee sort of thing. Being a beefy fellow, the other guy maintained his footing---you know, Weebles wobble but they don't fall down. Me? I was knocked on my keister.
His German accent made me wonder about his nationality, Greenland maybe? But this was not just any beefy fellow, he was the beefy fellow. The top dog, the chief cook and bottle washer; the CEO of this Large Corporation.
I was a bit preoccupied myself but decided not to say anything. I didn't think worrying about how get Nacho his coffee without going back to my desk qualified as true preoccupation.
I gulped. It was bad enough he knew that we'd swapped out all of the executive's PCs with VCRs so those guys would quit reformatting the Internet---it's a long story, but the exec's never caught on to the fact they were watching video tapes of spreadsheets, pie charts and the like. All we had to do was change out the tapes once in a while.
That was bad enough, but knowing about the goat sausage operation? This was a disaster. The goat sausage story is a bit more complex so I won't waste your time telling it, other than to say there are nomads involved. Wandering nomads and floods and an elevator that, for some reason, didn't stop on the third floor of this building---oh and a couple of PC techs who let those nomads move onto the third floor. Like I said, it's complicated, but trust me, the CEO knowing about an illicit sausage production business being run out his corporate high rise, well that spelled real trouble.


The BYE BYE BIRDIE Young Performers' Edition is a one-hour adaptation, specially tailored for elementary school- and middle school-aged children. The materials have been prepared to help your school or organization mount the best possible production and to give your children an exciting and rewarding experience.
A loving send-up of the 1960s, small-town America, teenagers, and rock & roll, BYE BYE BIRDIE remains as fresh and vibrant as ever. Teen heartthrob Conrad Birdie has been drafted, so he chooses all-American girl Kim McAfee for a very public farewell kiss. Featuring a tuneful high-energy score, plenty of great parts for kids, and a hilarious script, BIRDIE remains one of the most popular shows in schools across the country.
It is 1960, and a chorus of young girls energetically sings the praises of rock & roll idol Conrad Birdie. At Almelou Music Corp. in New York, Conrad's managers, Albert Peterson and Rosie Alvarez (who've been dating for years), learn that their client has been inducted into the army. Though she'd prefer that Albert settle down and become "An English Teacher," Rosie concocts a plan: as a publicity stunt, Conrad will bid a typical American teen-age girl goodbye with a public farewell kiss. Rosie randomly selects the name of the lucky girl: fifteen-year-old Kim McAfee of Sweet Apple, Ohio.
Meanwhile, in Sweet Apple, every teenager in town is on the phone, gossiping about Kim and her new steady, Hugo Peabody ("The Telephone Hour"). Kim, who proudly celebrates her new maturity ("How Lovely To Be A Woman"), is astonished to hear the news about Birdie.
In New York's Penn Station, Albert cheers up a downcast Birdie fan ("Put On A Happy Face"). Mae, Albert's overbearing mother, insults Rose, but Albert is unable to stand up to her. Birdie arrives, pursued by reporters, so Albert and Rosie deftly manage the press ("Healthy Normal American Boy").
With Conrad staying for the week, the McAfee household is completely turned upside down. A frustrated Mr. McAfee is all set to put his foot down, until he hears the family will be appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show ("Hymn For A Sunday Evening"). Mae, who followed Albert and Rosie by bus, introduces Albert to a sensational tap-dancer named Gloria Rasputin, whom Albert begrudgingly hires as a typist. Rosie, enraged by Albert's behavior, enlists the aide of Hugo in a plan to undermine the big show. On The Ed Sullivan Show, Conrad prepares to give Kim "One Last Kiss," but at the last minute, Hugo steps onstage and punches Conrad, knocking him to the floor. Everyone scatters, and Rosie bids Albert a bitter farewell, leaving him alone on national television. Smiling nervously, Albert desperately tries to recover ("Healthy Normal American Boy" Reprise).
Rosie and Kim, furious at Albert and Hugo, pack up to leave ("What Did I Ever See In Him?"). Albert and Mae make a new plan: Conrad will now kiss Kim at the train station before he leaves. But Conrad is tired of being locked up in a suburban household, and he invites the kids to join him in a wild night out ("A Lot of Livin' To Do"). Mr. and Mrs. McAfee, fearing the worst, join up with other parents to find their teens ("Kids!"). Mae continues to pester Albert and berate Rosie. Finally, Albert stands up to his mother, demanding that she go home.
At the Ice House, a popular spot for teens, Kim tries to ward off Conrad's advances. The parents and Hugo arrive just in time, and Kim realizes that she belongs with Hugo. Rosie and Albert make up, too, and Rosie has a bit of fun mocking Mae. The next morning, Albert sneaks Conrad out of town and tells Rose he's accepted a teaching job in Pumpkin Falls, Iowa. Albert and Rose celebrate their new future ("Rosie") and dance off into the sunset.
The names of the authors shall immediately follow the title of the play and shall be at least fifty (50%) percent of the size of the title of the play. The names of the authors shall be equal to each other in size, boldness and color, and no more than four principal performers shall have billing of a size equal to or larger than the authors. In the programs, the credits shall appear on the title page thereof.
ALBERT is the president of the Almaelou Music Corporation and is Conrad Birdie's agent. He is a nervous, excitable man who spends most of his time trying to control the uncontrollable, with quite comic results. Look for an actor with excellent comic timing, a great singing voice and a natural likability. Albert carries much of the story, so choosing an actor who will be comfortable with such a responsibility is crucial —cast your best leading man.
ROSIE is Albert's girlfriend and secretary at the Almaelou Music Corporation, who is frustrated with Albert's inability to commit to her. She is willing to do anything it takes to get Albert to give up the music business and settle down. Headstrong and confident, she is often one step ahead of Albert. Rosie needs to be a strong actor and a great singer. This is definitely a role for a student ready to shine in a leading role. Look for a young lady with tons of charm who can embrace that "go-get-'em" personality.
MRS. MAE PETERSON is Albert's controlling mother. She loves her son, despite her disapproval of the way he runs the family business and (especially) his affection for Rosie. She has never stopped parenting Albert, and her mounting frustration throughout the show as Albert begins to stand up to her provides recurring comic relief. This is a non-singing role, so look for an actor with strong comedic timing and the ability to take positive risks in building a strong character.
CONRAD BIRDIE is a teen heartthrob who has been drafted into the army. This character was written with Elvis Presley in mind. He says little but conveys much with his body language, swagger and, of course, his music. This is someone who knows that good looks and a killer smile will get him more than his personality. Look for a great singer/dancer with the ability to keep an over-the-top character alive while singing. This is a great role for a student who has tons of charm and can embody the "teen idol" persona.
KIM MACAFEE is the self-confident young member of Conrad's fan club who is chosen to receive a kiss from Conrad before he leaves for the Army. She sees herself as more mature than the average teenager. This is a large role for a talented singer and actor, so look for a student with a wholesome, innocent persona who will enjoy letting it go and have some fun along the way.
HUGO PEABODY is Kim's devoted steady boyfriend who is jealous that Conrad is receiving so much attention from Kim. This is a character-driven, non-singing role, so this is a great role to cast an up-and-coming student who isn't quite ready to take on a leading role. When casting, think about the juxtaposition between Hugo and Conrad Birdie — casting a strapping Conrad and a diminutive Hugo will offer some great comic moments as the two compete for Kim's affections.
MR. HAARY MACAFEE is Kim's father who thinks he's in control of his family and his teenaged daughter (but isn't). Mr. MacAfee should be a good actor with a decent singing voice who can find the comedy in his character's frustration and irritability.
Mrs. Doris MacAfee is Kim's loving mother who knows just how to handle her husband and her household. Mrs. MacAfee should be a good actor/singer. When casting, look for the chemistry between Mrs. MacAfee and her husband — this actor should be able to play off of Mr. MacAfee's gruffness with ease and charm.
URSULA MERKLE is Kim's best friend and the hyper-enthusiastic teenager who leads the girls in screaming for Conrad. This is a great supporting role to give to an energetic girl who will have fun creating a unique character with a one-of-a-kind voice. In casting, think of contrasting Kim's "maturity" with Ursula's youthful enthusiasm.
RANDOLPH MACAFEE is Kim's younger brother. This is a great small featured role for a younger actor with an unchanged voice who will get to create a fun character with only a few lines.
The Mayor is the head figure of Sweet Apple, Ohio, who welcomes Conrad Birdie to town. A bit naïve to the effect Conrad has on the girls of the town, this is a great featured role for an ensemble cast member who can develop a fun character.
THE MAYOR'S WIFE, EDNA, is one of the adults in the show who cannot escape the power of Conrad Birdie's spell — also a great featured role for an ensemble cast member to have some fun with.
GLORIA RASPUTIN is the dreamy, ambitious knockout whom Mrs. Peterson chooses to replace Rosie. She is looking for her big break in show business and hopes Albert can help her. Often played as a ditzy chorus-girl type, this is a good place to utilize a great tap dancer who will have fun with this featured dance solo and can create a gum-chomping, hair-twirling, larger-than-life character.
MRS. MERKLE is Ursula's overbearing mother who also gets a touch of Conrad Birdie Fever. Cast a good character actress who can incorporate her character into her singing voice.
HARVEY JOHNSON is a typical nerdy teenager who can't seem to get enough of the gossip going on in Telephone Hour. Cast a young actor who will have fun developing his character throughout this song and subsequent scenes.
MR. JOHNSON is Harvey's father and one of the many parents in Sweet Apple desperate to keep control of their children as Conrad Birdie comes to town. This is a small featured part for an ensemble member.
Other TEENAGERS in Sweet Apple include ALICE, DEBORAH SUE, HELEN, NANCY, MARGIE, PENELOPE, SUZIE, FREDDIE, KARL and various other BOYS and GIRLS. Have fun casting these roles out of the ensemble and encourage your actors to create distinct characters.
Other ENSEMBLE roles include a POLICEMAN, various REPORTERS, a CONDUCTOR and a TRAINMAN, and other PARENTS of the Sweet Apple teenagers with featured lines throughout the script. Get everyone involved!
A special adaptation of the classic Broadway musical, Bye Bye Birdie, designed specifically for presentation by elementary and middle school students.

... with a bag of hot stinky McDonalds. You're in an OB Office full of pregnant women! Most of whom get stick when they smell fried foods! I mean seriously! Look I see you're pregnant and much further along but WTF! Cant it wait an hour?
Hahaha! My nose is super sensitive when I am pregnant and I TOTALLY agree with you!
ugh, it makes me sick just reading about it!
Oh gross. Feeling sick just thinking about it!!
There's always that ONE PERSON with smelly food in the waiting room. I mean I'm guilty of taking snacks but it's usually a just a small bag of grapes and pretzel sticks I keep in my purse and eat as quietly as possible.
She could always eat in the car! My health care system has a women's clinic which is where I go. There are signs saying due to our patients heightened sense of smell no food or fragrances are allowed.
Ew, I'm sorry but even being super pregnant, who eats in a waiting room?
that would send me hurling to the bathroom too!
Eww wtf!! Can't it wait?!?!
I'm ok with food but a lady walked by as we were waiting to see the dr and she had smelled like she swam in perfume prior to arriving. I nearly puked on the spot.
