A 3D printer turns a blueprint into a physical object, built up layer by layer with a computer aided design program (CAD) simply running on your desktop computer.
Since 3D printers turned 3D printing professional services into low cost and on demand facilities, a wide range of products can be easily designed and manufactured at home. Any type of design can be found on the net where 3D printing communities share their files. No matter how it is created, once the CAD design exists it can be widely distributed just like any other computer file.
In many ways today's 3D printing community resembles the open source community of the early 1990s. There is no central institution giving directions: users themselves invest time and thought in the evolutionary process. They are a relatively small, technically proficient group sharing their creations.
Popular websites like thingverse.com or shapeways.com where anyone may upload and download the design of a number of items were immediately facing IP rights infringement claims.
Recently, Moulinsart, which owns the rights to the cartoon Tintin, served Thingiverse with a Millennium Digital Copyright Act takedown notice. Thingiverse has been forced to remove a design individually developed by an user and freely inspired to Tintin character.
The same happened for the famous Star Wars Yoda character that, despite being turned into different objects, still represents a copyright infringement. The bust of Yoda is not something that you can duplicate or re-elaborate: "Even when designers take an object like that and change it, it's still legally protected", as Disney legal team said.
Copyright, designs, patents and registered trademarks are the four IP classes that may be infringed by using a 3D printer. Many of these issues have already been discussed with regard to file-shared music and movies. Although 3D printing of copyrighted objects at home may constitute an infringement, the copyright will become increasingly impractical or impossible to enforce.
Technically, a consumer who copies a work by printing an already existing object will be liable for copyright infringement unless the consumer has permission from the copyright owner or only privately uses the printed object.
In this context the majors industries are trying to fight back the new digital era developments by strengthening IP rights, however it is undeniable that at some point a compromise will be necessary.

What began as a quick stop, though, turned into a full-on makeshift spa visit, as the staffie came across a large mud hole and hopped right in. As her owner, Lea Juhl Knudsen, writes on her Facebook page, there was no way to fight the overjoyed little dog as she frolicked and rolled in the mud. "I was just about to cry," Knudsen wrote. "But since it was too late to stop her ... I had to just laugh and [start] filming."

Flying Site Safety Rules
Safety: Model flying can be dangerous and even fatal. All members will fly in a safe manner, with due regard for other people and property. The following is in addition to the BMFA Safety Rules. The CAA issues a document, CAP 658, 'Model Aircraft: A Guide To Safe Flying'. It is the responsibility of all model pilots to read and understand these documents.
1. All members should be courteous, co-operative and use common sense at all times.
2. First member on site (having obtained the main airfield key from the prison) should display 'Aviation in Progress' on the main airfield gate and replace the key padlock with the combination padlock. On leaving the airfield, reverse the procedure and return the key to the prison. Please note that 'lock down' at the prison (closure to the public) is 5:30 pm and the key needs to returned by this time. First member at the flight line establishes the start of the flight line on the downwind side with a windsock.
3. Subsequent arrivals should check the runway is clear. Let the flight line members know you are intending to drive along the runway. When driving to the flight line keep to the edge of the runway on the flight line side. Park on the downwind side of the established flight line. Don't drive in front of active pilots.
4. The flight line will normally be established on the edge of the runway on the grass. Taking off and landing will take place on the far side of the runway centerline with general flying over the grass on the opposite side to the flight line and keeping well clear of the prison. Cars must be parked well clear of the runway edge allowing plenty of room for the pits area.
5. An area bounded by a line 50 metres behind and 100 metres to the left and right of the flight line and the full size runway centerline is a no fly zone with the exception of electric/non u/c. (See rules 6 and 7)
6. Small hand launch models and models without undercarriage (i.e. gliders etc.) can be launched in the area upwind of the parked cars over the nearside grass area. The landing area for these models is the nearside grass area downwind of the cars, between the cars and the tyre bund.
7. It is the responsibility of individual pilots to fly in the designated areas and they will be solely responsible for any incident that arises.
8. All take off runs must start 'upwind' of the flag/windsock on the flight line to prevent an out of control model swerving into the flight line pilots/pits area.
9. To position your model for takeoff from the runway call 'walking out' and ensure all on the flight line are fully aware of your intentions before doing so. Fixed wing models can taxi from the flight line directly out to their takeoff point at the pilot's discretion but must call 'Taxing Out' and again ensure that everyone on the flight line is fully aware of your intentions before doing so.
10. When preparing to land and on base leg, call out 'landing' and ensure that everyone on the flight line is aware of your intentions. If overshooting is required call out 'overshoot'.
11. After landing, if you need to walk out to retrieve your model call 'walking out' and make sure other pilots are aware that you are walking out onto an active runway. No model should be taxied directly towards the pits area. A model may be taxied back towards the grass but this must be beyond the pits area and then the model may be turned to taxi parallel to the flight line. Never taxi towards other pilots. Again ensure that your intentions are announced to other pilots.
12. For Easterly and Westerly winds, fly south of the main runway, left hand circuits in Westerly winds and right hand circuits for Easterly winds.
13. For Northerly and Southerly winds fly East of the N/S cross-runway. Right hand circuits for Northerly winds and left hand circuits for Southerly winds. The pit area is on the Western side of the runway. Parking is behind the pits.
14. If the wind is not directly down the runway, then diagonal takeoff and landing may be used, but in any case models must not 'over fly' the no fly zone, flight line, pits, car park areas or the prison area.
15. The testing of I/C engines with no intention of flying must be done at least 25 metres from any person or vehicle.
16. Not every eventuality can be foreseen and in the event of an occurrence not covered by these rules refer to rule 1.
1. Some of the common sense rules applicable to the main runway also apply to flying on the extension.
2. The gate should be secured and locked after entry to ensure sheep do not escape onto the road and to help prevent unauthorized access.
3. Take care driving down the side of runway to the flight line. Make sure the flight line is aware of you. Keep to the edge of the runway on the flight line side. Park on the downwind side of the established flight line. Don't drive in front of active pilots.
4. The flight line will normally be established at the edge of the runway. Which side, will be governed by the wind and/or sun. Taking off and landing will take place on the far side of the runway centerline with the direction governed by the wind conditions as on the main airfield. Positioning of the flight line and aircraft will be similar to that on the main airfield.
5. Flying should be arranged so that there is no over-flying of the road and adjacent houses and noise in that area is kept to a minimum.
6. When helicopters and fixed wing are both present members are asked to co-operate and mutually agree to safe flying areas. It may necessitate time slots on the runway. Consideration must be given to prevailing conditions and ensure neither helicopters or fixed wing obstruct each other's flight path. As a general rule helicopter pilots should establish their flight line downwind of the fixed wing pits area and fly in the downwind area and mainly over the grass.
7. When leaving make absolutely sure that the gate is closed and locked.

I'm blogging on a more serious topic tonight. For the most part my page is about inspiration, happiness and positive stuff. But today I'm going to broach a tough subject. The beauty is that I write it from the perspective of someone who came out the other side happy, healthy and vibrant. I am a fire fighters' wife so the subject of PTSD comes up a ton – in the early days when you are attending critical incident stress management workshops, and in the later days when you hear about someone on the job who's "off work for a while."
I read a story tonight in the news about first responder deaths to suicide in Canada. About how, in the first month of 2016 the numbers are in double digits already. So sad. Suicide is such a complex topic, with complex processes, but what is important to note is PTSD is is cited in so many of these stories of "invisible suffering."
PTSD is no joke. I'm not a soldier, or a first responder. I'm just a firefighters' wife who happened to go through it. You hear about it alot in the emergency services world – because the risk of exposure to PTSD triggers is exponentially higher. But damn, we are exposed to some crazy shit too. You just never know what causes it.
As you read the sections below, remember that I speak coming out of the other side happy, healthy and fine. Some are not so lucky.
I'm summoning the courage to publish this because of the brilliant Bell #letstalk campaign, and because goodness knows, being a new mother, there's going to be some stunning moments of mortality in our own lives. We bear witness not only to our own lives, but to multiple others' lives.
I get the difficulty of PTSD.
You can't "logically work your way out" of intense, nightmarish images that feel like they have been permanently etched deep in the brain. The noises, the smells, the sounds. It's a full sensory assault. Everything coming at you and a full psychic, physiological & emotional response.
I speak from experience of the awful sweats, the worst nightmares that leave you shaking and jolting awake, and the unwelcome, VIVID movies on repeat in your mind, playing in an endless loop of every detail.
Not to mention the good days, when in the back of your mind the fear is there…that they will come back. Or even worse, if you know your triggers, knowing that in an average day you may face them several times. It can be real eggshells.
What can suck the big one too, is the totally unexpected times it hits. And it's usually so random. I can tell you lots of stories about walking out of my chiropractor's office trying to hum a tune to trip the movie loop… Or just about having a panic attack seeing oxygen tanks. Or being in the bathroom at superstore trying to do breathing exercises while my trolley sat abandoned outside the washroom.
One of the best things we can do is embrace the bell #letstalk campaign, put on our big boy & girl panties, and start talking about this stuff, and being open about it.
It's crazy. I was nervous to write this. Because there's a little part of you that thinks "I don't want people to think I'm fucked up". And a part of you knows some people will read and go "whoa."
When can we progress so this thought doesn't happen? When can we see the day where people just think "I want to share this! People will think I'm human!"
Some of us are going to go through horrifying moments in life that are just too much to comprehend in the moment. First responders exponentially more so.
A society where this stuff can be processed, dealt with, and talked about without stigma will go a long way to circumvent some of the desperate decisions we read about in this article.
We will have Moments so intense. Where you just jump into action and deal with it because there is no option to shutdown.
Then there's the days, weeks, months after where your brain, body and emotions begin to process what the f*** just happened.
PTSD is like you, a mouse, standing in front of a wild tiger.
PTSD is a particularly tough one because the LAST thing you want to do is talk about it, when most moments of your day you are trying to avoid it. It's constantly jumping out of the bushes and you just want some peace most of the time.
That's why I think it is such a silent disease.
Anyways, just my two cents and me putting myself out there. Super hard to write about so please be gentle 😬l
I'm really happy (and relieved) to say I don't go through most of the crap anymore. I've been a year and a bit without nightmares and panicky moments that struck in the middle of the grocery store, or often halfway into a workout. I caught the sounds coming back the other day and it was a reminder that you must stay ever vigilant & dedicated. Not just to PTSD but to managing a happy, healthy and balanced life, a key defence in the battle.
I've been a lucky one with a solid psychologist, with whom I have an insane, amazing connection & working relationship, and the willingness to really dive right into the fire and go for it. I say I am lucky also because I have a work plan that can afford the $200+ an hour appointments, and after 3 different people, I found an amazing person to work with. I didn't give up after the 2nd consult with 2nd person, diving in to the conversation a second time.
I was determined to kick it.
Even if you are up to getting the help, it can be a big financial outlay *and* if you are going to go into the fire with someone, you need to feel right about the connection you have with them. Just like a firefighter needs to know the person they go into the fire with has their back. Has their life.
That's hard to find. So even if you get the guts to fight the beast, there's way more hurdles to jump before you get there. There's attrition in each stage, I'm sure.
The financials. The need for a good provider connection. A busy life bursting down the door saying "you don't have time to do this!"
Thinking of those families tonight.
You have time to do this. Stop stressing about the cost. This is a great deal compared to the cost of not working on it.
Here's a formula I thought of:
We throw off our own ego's shackles of "what will they think of me" and T-A-L-K
They L-I-S-T-E-N and suspend judgement.
Things will get better, slowly.
Things will get better for those incredible, gracious, courageous human beings who signed up to deal with the things nobody would ever want to have to see, or hear, or experience on any given day. Those courageous human beings, who after executing the most difficult task of all, are left to wonder, what the f*ck did I just experience? Many of them left to wonder that on their own, inside their minds.
First responders, my thoughts are with you. If you know exactly what I am talking about in this post… I hope this hit home in some way. It was tough for me to hit "post" and go public but I hope a few of you will follow suit 🙂
#bellletstalk. Please feel free to share this.

St. Patrick and Sister Lucia of Fatima, Two Prophecies
Let's ignore, if possible, the discouraging aspects of the secular desecrations of great Saint Patrick's Feast Day, and focus instead on his prophecy and how it may fit in with that of Fatima, which pertains to us today.
St. Patrick is reputed by some accounts to have lived 120 years and to have raised no less than 33 people back to life, many of whom had been dead years. His penances, sacrifices, miracles and conversions were astounding and there are also a couple of prophecies attributed to him. The first is not of good provenance, but relates that the faith he brought to Ireland will blaze throughout the island for a period of time, then gradually dim and eventually appear to be almost extinguished, with but a few glowing embers; but then will gradually resurge, beginning in the north and eventually returning throughout Ireland. That is not our interest, although it's evident that faithful Catholics in Ireland today might find bit of comfort in it for these times of apostasy.
It is the second prophecy that interests us, and it is brief, just a few words. It crops up on several blogs but I wanted to present the original source here, which is supposed to be The Book of Armagh. It can be found online at Liber Ardmachanus: the Book of Armagh available through Archive.org.
Although I've downloaded it, have not had time to locate the quote, so will just provide the following:
These are the three prayers of Patrick, as they were delivered to us by the Hibernians, entreating that all should be received on the day of judgment, if we should repent even in the last days of our life.
- That he should not be shut up in hell
- That barbarian nations should never have the rule over us.
- That no one shall conquer us, that is the Scots (meaning Irish), before seven years previous to the day of judgment, because seven years before the judgment we shall be destroyed in the sea, this is the third.
In an earlier post, (see here) I reported on Antonio Socci's article revealing a previously unpublished account of a vision Sister Lucia of Fatima had when she was struggling to write down the Third Secret. From Socci:
The Unpublished Account
At around 4 p.m. on January 3, 1944, in the chapel of the convent, before the Tabernacle, Lucia asked Jesus to make known His will: I then felt a friendly hand, maternal and affectionate, touch my shoulder.
And the Mother of God said to her: "be at peace, and write what I have commanded you, but not, however, that which has been given to you to understand its meaning," intending to allude to the meaning of the vision which the Virgin herself had revealed.
Immediately afterward, said Sister Lucia, "I felt my spirit inundated by a mystery of light that is God and in Him I saw and heard: the point of a lance like a flame that is detached, touches the axis of the earth, and it trembles: mountains, cities, towns and villages with their inhabitants are buried. The sea, the rivers, the clouds, exceed their boundaries, inundating and dragging with them, in a vortex, houses and people in a number that cannot be counted. It is the purification of the world from the sin in which it is immersed. Hatred, ambition, provoke the destructive war. After I felt my racing heart, in my spirit a soft voice said: 'In time, one faith, one baptism, one Church, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic. In eternity, Heaven!' This word 'Heaven' filled my heart with peace and happiness in such a way that, almost without being aware of it, I kept repeating to myself for a long time: Heaven, Heaven."
From this came the strength to write the Third Secret. …
Other sites have spoken of the possibility that a volcanic mountain in the Canaries may be the flaming mountain of the Apocalypse, and may cause a tsunami which will result in flooding of massive proportions, perhaps even so as to immerse Ireland. That seems plausible, and we've read of some who believe that same inundation will destroy the modern Babylon of New York City, seat of so much evil.
But all these are speculations. In the end, the truth we must hold to is that of Fatima, in which it is prophesied, according to Pope John Paul II at Fulda, "the oceans will flood whole areas of the earth, and that from one moment to the next millions of people will perish". (http://www.fatima.org/thirdsecret/fulda.asp). As Pope Francis continues his spiritual chastisement, attacking the dogma of the faith and faithful traditional Catholics, can the material portion of the Chastisement be far away?
Our Lady of the Rosary, Immaculata, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

Bhubaneswar, Nov 13 (IANS) Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday urged the Centre to reduce interest rates on agricultural loans and extend interest incentive on crop loans for the benefit of farmers affected by droughts and pests.
In a letter, the Chief Minister sought the intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to keep the interest rate on medium-term (conversion) loans at par with crop loans and also extend the interest incentive of three per cent admissible on crop loans to medium-term (conversion) loans.
"In my opinion, when crop loans are converted into medium-term loans, the interest rate should remain at par with the crop loans. Similarly, the incentive made available to farmers for prompt repayment of crop loans should also be extended to medium-term (conversion) loans to provide relief to peasants affected by drought and pest attacks," said Patnaik.
He said that during the current kharif season, paddy cultivation in some parts of Odisha was affected due to drought and pest attacks, adding that his government had taken proactive measures to provide relief to the affected farmers.
"As a part of the package, it has been decided to convert crop loans advanced during 2017 kharif season in affected areas as medium-term (conversion) loans," said the Chief Minister.
In case of crop damage between 33 and 50 per cent, crop loans can be converted into medium-term (conversion) loans repayable over two years with a moratorium of one year. Similarly, where the crop damage is 50 per cent and more, conversion of crop loans can be allowed for a maximum five years with a one-year moratorium, he said.
The Union government provides interest incentive at three per cent to farmers making prompt repayment of crop loans, which is not made available in case of conversion of such crop loans in the event of natural calamities.
"As a result, the interest rate on the converted loans remains high, which is at present 11.20 per cent. Similarly, interest on crop loans is not subsidised as interest subvention for the same is not available," said the Chief Minister.

After such a long blog break, it's only fitting for a mom of 11 to start with an update on the baby, right? Here he is, by popular demand:
Our first blue-eyed blonde.
Bethany was blonde as a baby, but her hair seems to be darkening with age.
And her eyes have always been a striking hazel.
She's a beauty, but I'm not talking about her today. I'm talking about this guy:
Well, actually I'm not talking about that guy. That's Johnny Matthis. I meant this guy:
He's crawling at breakneck speeds now, and standing unsupported for several seconds at a time. He always waits for the round of applause before he sinks back to the floor. He has been known to take a few steps, but hasn't decided to walk yet.
He is also becoming proficient at communicating. His spoken words include poop, Dad, dog, hi, bye, hello (spoken in his phone voice), and Mom – in that order. He also understands and uses several signs: hungry, thirsty, please, tired, more, and no. We're working on thank you, but he fails to see the point once he's already got what he wants.
Fair enough, once you see it from his perspective. Now he just needs to learn to see it from ours.

How to Configure the Wireless Base Station
Setting up a wireless base station works similarly to configuring a router for a wired network. Each router has a different set of instructions for setting it up and making connections. All the steps that you need to set up a wireless network are in the manual. Here is a basic overview along with a few hints that the manual isn't likely to provide.
Connecting to the router is done by setting it up according to the manual. Next, access the router by using a web browser on your computer. (The computer can be connected to the router wirelessly or connected directly with an Ethernet cable.)
To access the wireless base station's configuration menu, start a web browser on the computer connected to the base station. In the web browser's Address bar, type the router's IP address, such as
The exact address is found in the router manual. You're prompted for a username and password; that information is also in the manual.
You can probably set up a lot of things; a configuration tool may walk you through the basics. For security's sake, ensure that the following items are all set when you configure the wireless router:
Change the base station's administrator password. Set a new password for accessing the base station's configuration program. All routers come with a default password and the bad guys know them, so set a good, strong password for the base station!
Set the network name or SSID. The SSID is basically the wireless network's name. It's not the workgroup name, which can be set separately. Instead, it's the name that people see when they look to join the wireless network. Change the name to something unique.
Suppress the SSID. It's more secure not to broadcast the SSID, so if you have the option to suppress it from being broadcast, consider setting this option. When the name is suppressed, only by typing the proper name can someone access the network.
Password-protected access. To join the wireless network, you want users to supply a password. Set a good one.
Set up a firewall. Ensure that the wireless router has its firewall settings activated. Nothing protects your computers from the nasties of the Internet like a good, solid hardware firewall.
The items listed here represent only a small taste of the vast assortment of settings and options for a wireless network — another reason why many people find wireless network setup to be a pain in the rump.
When the wireless router setup goes haywire, you can restore the router's factory settings by punching its Reset button.
For wireless security, use a password on your network and the WPA-/WPA2-level security. WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a replacement for the older WEP standard. You might also see the term PSK, which refers to a preshared key, a common security method for wireless networks.
The wireless network's WPA/WPA2 password is anywhere from 8 to 64 characters long. After you set it, write it down.
Set a nice, tough password for your wireless network. You can configure Windows to remember the password so that you don't have to type it every time you turn on the computer. But you also don't want something that one of the Bad Guys can easily guess.
Instead of suppressing your wireless hub's SSID, you can use MAC address filtering to help restrict access.

UPDATED: After nearly 5 years, we are sorry to inform you that this pattern is no longer available in the larger size. So sorry for the inconvenience!
So I'm so excited to finally post about this — Amber has been kind enough to provide us with a toddler-sized version of the Itty Bitty Dress Pattern (and HOW CUTE IS THAT with the teeny tiny version and big sister version together in this picture???). The pattern is really very high-quality and impressive (Amber's hubby is scoring significant points for help in the Adobe department!).
Amber says that the pattern is about a 3T, as she made it to fit her older daughter who currently wears a combination of 2T and 3T. Be sure to check out the free onesie patterns she has on her blog too!
I can't wait to make my own version! Thanks so much, Amber!

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13623 Summary: Allow more flexible presentation of menus Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Keywords: a11y, a11ytf Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: firstname.lastname@example.com ReportedBy: email@example.com QAContact: firstname.lastname@example.com CC: firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com Depends on: 13621 The description of how user agent must handle the menu element and its contents might be overly prescriptive. For example, the current HTML5 draft specification clearly spells out when user agents should render groups of menu items inline vs. as a submenu, seemingly giving the user agent no leeway to adjust for user preference. Instead, it should acknowledge that user agents may override the default presentation described in order to comply with user preferences. Use case: Nadia is blind and using a web browser with a screen reader. The document contains a menu structure created with the HTML5 menu element, and it includes some very long menus with many groups of menu items separated by horizontal rules into various groups or sections. As Nadia uses the down arrow key to navigate through the menu items, she has to pause for each one to be read to her, so traversing a long menu takes a long time and a lot of effort. She would prefer to have the menu presented to her in hierarchical fashion that uses progressive disclosure, so she could navigate through the short list of sections, and then through the short list of commands in the desired section, rather than through one long list of items. Use case: Aidan is the opposite of Nadia. He uses an alternative input system and input is difficult for him, so he wants to reduce the number of actions he has to take. Therefore he prefers to see all the options visible at once so that he can choose one directly, rather than having to use mechanisms involving progressive disclosure. (He has even invested in a large, high-resolution monitor to support this work style.) Rather than choosing a sub-menu and then items from them, he'd rather have all the sub-menus and their items displayed together. Unfortunately, the HTML5 specification explicitly states that the menu element with a label must be presented as a sub-menu rather than displayed inline. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.Received on Wednesday, 3 August 2011 19:34:24 UTC

Commuters left marooned by a bus firm's decision to axe a link between Kirkintilloch and Cumbernauld could be rescued by transport chiefs.
The shut-down of the Drumgrew Bridge for repairs has posed a travel nightmare for people across a wide area for nine months, and one local bus service – the o47 from Kirkintilloch to Monklands Hospital – is being sharply cut back.
Operator DA Coaches will now cease to run the Cumbernauld to Kirkintilloch leg of the journey, and will instead only run from Cumbernauld to Monklands.
This is said to be because the firm has been unable to find cash backing to run a replacement bus service from Kirkintilloch to Cumbernauld.
However this week politicians Jamie Hepburn MSP (Cumbernauld and Kilsyth) and Stuart McDonald MSP (Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East) said correspondence from Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) pointed to a possible solution.
SPT aims to broker a deal with North Lanarkshire Council, East Dunbartonshire Council and Network Rail to fund a replacement bus service between Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch.
In the short term they hope to put in place a temporary contract until the longer term funding is sorted out.
Stuart McDonald said: "SPT are working hard to ensure those who rely on public transport to get between Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch, particularly those who use this service to get to work, won't be left stranded and an interim bus service is likely to be put in place.

The two organizations combined to form Curves Jenny Craig in November 2013. Outdated systems, known internally as "the black hole," plagued Jenny Craig with inefficient processes and created a lack of accountability. For example, records could not be categorized or prioritized properly, tracked by date or owner, and they could be intentionally hidden in an ambiguous status. Without visibility, Jenny Craig had no way to quantify the impact of their customer service. Mary Carter, manager of IT service, summed it up, "We had no reporting prior Cherwell Service Management."

New York—PVH said Thursday it plans to sell its G.H. Bass & Co. footwear brand to G-III Apparel Group for $50 million.
"G.H. Bass & Co. has been a positive and important contributor to PVH's success since we acquired the business in 1987," said Emanuel Chirico, PVH's chairman/ceo. "However, our core competencies today lie in our lifestyle apparel businesses and we see the future of PVH focused around the global growth of our designer lifestyle brands, led by Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. We believe this transaction reinforces our strategy of driving growth through our higher margin businesses, while minimizing earnings volatility and enhancing stockholder value."
PVH reported that as a result of the sales, it slightly raised its third quarter earnings per share forecast to $2.25 from $2.20. PVH also expects to incur a pre-tax loss of about $20 million in connection with the sales of assets. Meanwhile, G-III reported that the purchase would pare down its fiscal year earnings by about 10 cents "and be accretive thereafter on an annual basis."
According to Morris Goldfarb, chairman/president/ceo of G-III, "We are delighted by the prospect of adding such a strong heritage brand to our portfolio. We are confident that the addition of approximately 160 G.H. Bass & Co. outlet stores will integrate well into our retail platform and provides us with a powerful opportunity to continue to grow and diversify our business."
The deal is expected to close during fourth quarter.

A year after the Cronulla riots, we all face a fresh test of character
To the relief of many, the anniversary of the Cronulla riots passed without incident last weekend. I grew up in "the shire" in the 1970s and '80s, so the riots were of more than just professional interest as an academic specialising in multiculturalism.
My research centre recently hosted a conference on the riots. While many of the presentations reinforced what we already knew - that talkback radio and the tabloid press had much to answer for - there were some interesting new perspectives.
Dr Judy Lattas has been doing research with Anglo-Celtic youth in Sutherland Shire. Responding to arguments that the riots were a result of years of sexual harassment of young women on the beach, she argued that the ethnic tensions at Cronulla were played out in everyday gender interactions. The young women she spoke to in Cronulla pointed out that all kinds of men in Australia engage in sexual harassment, but the incidents involving young men of Middle Eastern background were distinctive in their defensive-aggressive intensity. But young men of Middle Eastern background have a strong sense of being rejected by mainstream Australian culture. In other words, both groups are victims.
Dr Clifton Evers, who researches masculinity and surfing cultures, reminded the conference that surfers have a long history of violent territorialism. A representative from Sutherland Shire Council showed the audience a collection of about 50 local newspaper articles reporting violence and antisocial behaviour in Cronulla stretching back to the 1950s.
One of the key threads to emerge was the importance of separating the perpetrators of antisocial behaviour - who in fact represent a tiny minority of disaffected young men - from the wider Arabic-speaking community.
Associate Professor Ghassan Hage, a Lebanese-Australian anthropologist, recently visited a group of surf-lifesavers at Cronulla. Discussing the issue of "naming" the perpetrators of antisocial behaviour on the beach, the lifesavers asked a legitimate question: what are they to call those who commit these offences if it is racist to use ethnic descriptors? Hage, who is known for his sharp humour, simply said "call them 'deadshits' ". The rioters shouting racist abuse were no more representative of mainstream Anglo-Celtic Australians than the young men involved in the retaliatory violence were representative of mainstream, decent, Lebanese Australians. There are, as Hage points out, "deadshits" in every group.
It is a prosaic observation, but a liberating one. If someone kicks a soccer ball at a child on the beach he is a moron. No one is denying that. Where I part company with the radio shock jocks is in how we make meaning of that kind of behaviour. Blaming innocent people of a particular background for the misdemeanours of a few is racism.
The fact there was no repeat of the riots does not mean the underlying issues have gone away. One of the more worrying trends in the past 12 months has been a desire for Sydneysiders to collectively disown the racism expressed last December. Those outside the area were at pains to point out that the riots were a curiously "shire" thing: parochial, uneducated people who don't represent cosmopolitan Sydneysiders. Representatives of the area, meanwhile, pointed out that many of the Anglos arrested during the riot were from outside the area. Racism exists in the shire, but it is by no means just a shire phenomenon, nor is it just the domain of the "uneducated".
Horrendous as they were, the riots encouraged a discussion that was previously closed. It is probably the first time many Sutherland shire residents have confronted their perceptions of and relationships to culturally diverse Australians. Many of them, in my experience, have stepped up to the challenge of working through this problem, are open to having their views challenged and have been enthusiastic participants in initiatives to promote interaction with Muslim and Middle Eastern communities. Muslim communities have been equally positive in their response.
There is, however, a risk of reading too much into the success of "feelgood" activities. While symbolically important, they often involve the already converted, the "good guys" on both sides. There is also a danger in placing too much focus on right-wing extremists. That simply draws us away from the main game: the soft, everyday tensions will continue to simmer unless long-term interventions are supported.
A heavy police presence on the beach will do little to deal with these underlying tensions. Government needs to tackle these problems through grassroots community interventions. That means, among other things, funding youth workers and community liaison officers to help young people to work through these issues. It means working to engage marginalised and disaffected young people, and developing strategies to ensure young men of Middle Eastern background feel and are included in Australian society.
Dr Amanda Wise is a research fellow at the Centre for Research on Social Inclusion at Macquarie University.

Potential homebuyers may enter the purchase market sooner rather than later as more Americans expect mortgage rates and home prices to climb, according to results from Fannie Mae's June 2013 National Housing Survey.
The share of respondents who say mortgage rates will go up during the next 12 months jumped 11 percentage points to 57 percent, the highest level in the survey's three-year history. Meanwhile, consumers' home price expectations have stayed strong in the face of rising mortgage rates. The share of respondents who believe home prices will go up in the next year also hit a survey high of 57 percent, while those who say prices will go down stayed steady at 7 percent. Although sentiment toward both the current home buying and selling environments retreated slightly, it remains near the survey highs of last month, with 72 percent saying it is a good time to buy and 36 percent saying it is a good time to sell.
"The spike in mortgage rate expectations this month seems to have had an impact on a number of the survey's indicators and may increase housing activity in the near term by driving urgency to buy," says Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae. "Consumers may recognize that today's still favorable mortgage rates and homeownership affordability levels will recede over time. Given rising home and rental price expectations and improving personal financial attitudes, more prospective homebuyers may be deciding that now is the time to get off the fence."
Among those surveyed, 56 percent say rental prices will go up during the next year – an 8 percentage point increase and the highest level since the survey's inception – and the average 12-month rental price change expectation jumped 1.2 percent to 4.6 percent. Americans' outlook on their personal finances also increased significantly in June. The share who expect their personal financial situation to improve during the next year climbed to 46 percent, the highest level since June 2010. The share who say their household income is significantly higher than it was 12 months ago jumped 6 percentage points to a survey high 26 percent.

A New Constitution or the Bullet
A New Constitution or the Bullet
I never thought I would be in the place I am in right now. About two months ago, I was in Oakland at a "Say Her Name" protest and was being detained by about 25 cops in riot gear. I had a text message ready to send to my lawyer that I was about to be arrested. Luckily, myself and other protesters were let go. The next day as I was in my kitchen doing dishes and I began singing the freedom song passed down to our generation by elder community activists, "Which side are you on?". After organizing and participating in numerous protests, cries for freedom rang through my mind. However, I began to feel hopeless.
After what has felt like endless hours of Black protest and uprising throughout the United States, I felt like our progress was moving in circles. Instead of police killings decreasing in the Bay Area, I witnessed an increase in killings of Black men in Oakland. Five Black men have been executed by in OPD this summer alone. I am tired of waking up and checking twitter to see another Black body as a hashtag. Our Black Lives Matter protests have stormed the country, yet cops continue to kill us daily, and the and the judicial system continues to justify our deaths with acquittals, non-indictments and light sentences-all in the name of upholding the Constitution.
I have come to realize that the Constitution is the root of virtually all our problems in America. In order to understand the injustices against Black folks in United States, we must look back to its foundation. The U.S. is a country that was founded on slavery, genocide, rape, and white male patriarchy. The colonizers that we condemn for enslaving Afrikans and murdering indigenous peoples are the same people that produced and upheld the document we use to govern our nation to this day. Our bloodshed is rooted in this nation's founding document, The Constitution. A body cannot be separated from its head and remain living. The Constitution and all the evil that it allows to be perpetuated are the head of White America, or more so corrupt America. Racist America. If you separate the head the racism will die.
This constitution was written for "all men to be equal", yet these same white men who cried out for equality and freedom from persecution owned Black people as slaves and participated in calculated genocidal tactics against the Black race. In addition, only white men wrote the Constitution. A Constitution written by only white men will never serve the interests Black people. The Constitution was written for the ruling class of white men which constructed whiteness to be more valuable than any other race. When we discuss institutional racism, it is essential that we realize the Constitution created it.
The Constitution has created a system of governance that has been executing Black people everyday. From slavery, to sharecropping, to debt peonage, to chain gangs, to gentrification, to the for-profit prison industry that is upheld through the 13th amendment which allows for slavery if one has committed a crime. From Emmett Till, to the four little girls, to Mike Brown, to Rekia Boyd, to Maya Hall, to the Charleston nine, and to Sandra Bland. America has not protected us. On the contrary, it seeks to destory our very own humanity. We live in a society that is not safe for us. And as the Declaration of Independence says:
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness
Do we not have the right to abolish the laws that oppress us? It is time to claim the Declaration of Independence and apply it to our struggle as colonized Black people in America. The United States has declared war against us; it is time we demand a new constitution or tell America that she will get the bullet. I say this not as an act of aggression, but as an act of self-defense. I do not want violence, however, white supremacy's bullets are killing Black people every day. If America does not protect us, then it is our human right to defend ourselves by any means necessary. It is our human right to overthrow a government that has been destructive to our people. This is why we must rise up and let all people come together and write new constitution to serve ALL people.
The idea for a new constitution is not a new idea, rather an old one that was developed by the Black Panther Party. In 1970, the Black Panther Party organized a Revolutionary People's Constitutional Convention, however, after infiltration by the illegal COINTELPRO the idea never came into fruition. We must pick up where the Black Panthers left off and declare a new constitution or it will be the bullet.
If America truly wants to be a nation that values the lives of all people, it has one option, and the option is a National Constitution Convention. This is the last hope America has to become whole. If America fails to allow all people of this nation to write a new constitution, then it will be the bullet. Revolution is inevitable in a society that does not value the lives of all people.
Let the bells of freedom ring…
In struggle,
-Brotha B

People from different religions like Buddhists, Hindus, Bonpos and Jain visit and adore this sacred peak for its divinity. This Kailash Tour is ideal for adventure enthusiasts too and it confers natural beauty, tents in grasslands, overwhelming mountain views and the remote lands which definitely will make this journey memorable for lifetime.
One of the major tourist attractions of the Kailash Tour is conspicuous and divine Lake Mansarovar (4590m.). In Hinduism, Kailash is the known as abode of Lord Shiva and the soul of Brahma near Manasarovar Lake. Tibetans describes Kailash as Kang Rinpoche. It is worshipped as Mt Ashtapada by Jains, where Rishabanatha (religion's founder), attained spiritual liberation. And the followers of the ancient pre-Buddhist shamanistic belief of Tibet Bon-Po admire Kailash as the essence of Tibet.
The four most revered Indian sub-continent rivers begin from Kailash which are Karnili (a foremost tributary of the Ganga), Sutlej, Indus and Brahmaputra. Nature lovers can come across abundant extraordinary species of wildlife, birds, and flora in this mystical region. In Hinduism, Mt. Kailash is also called 'Sumeru Parbat' which provides a religiously inspiring, naturally exceptional and a truly worthwhile expedition of a life-time. Making 32 miles of parikrama, which literally means religious pilgrimage is believed to be most fortunate for Hindu people. Travelers can enjoy the views of Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India from the highest point of Mt. Kailash.

- Summary
The honesuki is the traditional Japanese boning knife used for poultry, but you'll find it excels for trimming all meats and fish. Its short, triangular blade maneuvers easily around bones and between joints, and the blazing-sharp edge cuts through meat and cartilage like butter. Named for the blacksmith's forge, the premium Kaji series was developed by Shun's master knife makers exclusively for Williams Sonoma.
- Short, triangular blade bones meats, poultry and fish with accuracy and ease.
- 65-layer blade features a premium SG-2 powdered steel cutting core clad in 64 layers of forged nickel/stainless steel Damascus.
- Inspired by centuries-old samurai sword–making techniques, the blade's construction creates a super sharp cutting edge.
- Handle is made of moisture-resistant, resin-infused PakkaWood, shaped for comfort and control.

Rated 4 out of 5 by wrobelan from Small(er) honesuki I purchased this honesuki for my father after buying the Premier honesuki for myself. My parents both love this knife and surprisingly use it on a variety of other tasks outside of working on chickens. The SG2 steel takes a razors edge, but is a little more difficult to hone as it is a harder steel than the VG-10 and VG-Max on the other Shun lines. Finally, an interesting fact about this knife and the Premier honesuki is that while both WS and the Shun claim that they are both 4.5", the Premier is about .5" longer than the Kaji and slightly wider.Date published: 2015-03-28Rated 5 out of 5 by REBLGNR from SUPER KNIFE What more can one say but it is an excellent , super knife comfortable and eases kitchen prepDate published: 2015-02-09Rated 5 out of 5 by Leonardc2 from Fabulous knife!!

Subtotals, Totals and Buttons Through Checkout Not Showing up
Hopefully a simple one. I followed the instructions and I have my market that passes the "Add To Cart" information to the cart, but when I view the cart, no subtotals, totals, Continue Shopping, Clear Cart, Update, or Checkout buttons show up. It is almost like the code will not generate pass the items selected to be put in the cart. All the code shows up in dreamweaver and under design view the subtotals, totals and buttons are visible. Figured this is standard functionality and I have overlooked something but I went through the instructions many times. Help?

By Emanuella Grinberg, CNN
(CNN) - This November, events nationwide celebrated the traditions, fashion and food of the nation's 566 recognized Indian tribes as part of Native American Heritage Month.
But a few high profile missteps surrounding the use of indigenous cultural imagery made bigger national headlines than any heritage month event.
First it was the release of No Doubt's Wild West-themed music video "Looking Hot," featuring teepees, fire dances and singer Gwen Stefani on horseback, a feather crowning her long blond braids. Then, supermodel Karlie Kloss walked the runway in a floor-length feather headdress, skimpy leopard-spotted bikini and turquoise jewelry at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Both instances sparked allegations of "playing Indian" for profit, leading No Doubt and Victoria's Secret to publicly apologize. The gaffes also reignited debate over where to draw the line between cultural appropriation and appreciation and the extent to which non-Natives should represent Natives in mainstream media and pop culture.
Opinion: Just say no to "playing Indian"
The conversation is important, because acts of cultural appropriation are not simply isolated incidents of "hipsters in Navajo panties and pop stars in headdresses," said Sasha Houston Brown, a member of the Santee Sioux Nation of Nebraska. They are byproducts of "systemic racism" that perpetuate the idea that there's no such thing as contemporary Native culture.FULL STORY
No amount of Victoria's Secret Halloween costume is going to bring the mojo back into a frumpy, out-of-shape, overcooked cougar's s-e-x life. Might as well go back to cell-phone yapping and driving around in their SUV's all day...
Yes, if I were a black woman instead of being a white woman, I would secretly thanks the lucky stars that brought my ancestors to endure slavery in America. I would hate and despise what was done to them. At the same time, knowing half of what I know about past and present world history, I would bless the fate that gave me birth in this land.

- "My visions are unchanged. Destiny awaits you."
- ―Dread Master Calphayus
Lord Calphayus, also known as the "Prophet of the Masters", was a powerful Sith Assassin and a member of the Dread Masters. He wielded a cyan bladed saberstaff.
Calphayus was freed with the other Dread Masters by an Imperial who traveled to The Tomb on Belsavis. After demonstrating their powers on a Republic security force, the Dread Masters terrorized the Esh-kha before leaving the planet. After the Sith Emperor's supposed death, the Dread Masters broke away from the Empire and decided to take the galaxy for themselves.
He planned Asation's assault, making his presence clear via mental statements throughout the progression of the Strike teams who came to assist the Gree, though he never appeared on Asation. Calphayus dispatched the three most powerful Commanders of the Dread Host, named Ciphas, Heirad, and Kel'sara. These three Sith sought to stop the strike team, but through their intense battle, they were defeated. Calphayus stated upon Kel'sara`s death; "The Shield is broken, but the sword is drawn." Calphayus ultimately unleashed the Terror From Beyond after the death of Kephess, but the Terror was defeated and the plans of using Asation as a standing ground failed.
Upon their return to Oricon, Calphayus along with the rest of the Dread Masters began to become insane with the loss of Styrak. His visions became stronger and more detailed, but his over confidence led him to believe they were accurate and would in fact occur. Calphayus dueled with the team responsible for the death of Kephess, Styrak, Brontes, Ciphas, Heirad and Kel'sara. His mastery of time, space and knowledge allowed him to extend his power through the future and past, though his plans were foiled. He was defeated in his inner sanctum and returned to the council room to recuperate.
When confronted once more, Calphayus began to emit a deadly field of power, reflecting all damage to the user as he proceeded to drop corrupted fields beneath him, giving his enemies little room to work with. Eventually Calphayus was defeated, but survived the encounter. Broken, alone and free, he escaped the palace, removing the golden crest he and his fellow Dread Masters wore to mask their faces, revealing him to be a withered old man, a testament to how long he had been a Sith and a Dread Master.
Calphayus wandered Oricon after the death of his fellow masters, soon arriving at the Republic Strike team camp. There he sought to reason with the team, telling them of his rather human past. He was once married, felt no fear or pain towards his wife or life in general. But once he and his friends, now Dread Masters, studied the Phobis devices, they became linked mentally and physically in a weave of Terror and Madness, distorting and changing him into a living entity of Madness. Calphayus was weak, scared, alone and looking for hope. The strike team decided to show mercy, and let him be cared for and evaluated by the Jedi.
Behind the scenesEdit
Republic players have the option to spare Calphayus and allow him to undergo treatment by the Jedi (light side) or deem him unworthy of redemption for his past crimes and kill him (dark side). Imperial players do not get the option to spare or kill Calphayus.

From the beginning, Apex PROaupair's mission has been to recruit au pairs with professional backgrounds so that families can count on extremely high caliber care for their children. Apex PROaupair is the only au pair agency in the U.S. that focuses on sourcing professional au pairs.
What Makes an Au Pair "Professional"?
In order to qualify as a professional, the au pair candidate must have a degree or professional experience in a childcare-related field, or at least one year of full-time experience. The majority of professional au pairs hold a degree in one of the following professions:
- Occupational Therapy
- Physical Therapy
- Early Childhood Education/Teaching
- Pediatric Nursing
- Special Needs Education
- Special Needs Caregiving
During the au pair vetting process, the candidate completes an extensive application and provides documentation concerning his or her background and credentials. This information is made available to families during the matching process.
Where do professional au pairs come from?
Apex PROaupair maintains an office in Germany and sources professional au pairs directly through its large network of European universities, vocational training schools, hospitals and referrals from organizations such as the German Red Cross. Apex PROaupair's admissions team carefully screens and interviews candidates to ensure they are qualified. The majority of professional au pairs are German and Austrian.
What motivates professionals to come to the U.S.?
Professional au pairs participating in Apex PROaupair's programs have a keen interest in developing their careers and broadening their cultural horizons by working with children and living for a year or two in the United States. Improving their English, meeting Americans, and gaining experience for their future careers motivates them to participate in the Apex PROaupair program.
