For the folks who are still complaining about the light quality of CFLs (buy nicer ones) the LED revolution is http://ojalafilms.com/cialis-10-mg going to make you melt. Martha Stewart beware! Soon you will be able to change not only the how to get viagra without perscription brightness of the light in your home, but the color of the light as well. This new LED bulb from Sharp, which will be introduced in Japan in July, comes with a built-in remote sensor. The remote can then alter the brightness and only here generic cialis from india the warmth of the light.
So if you want a nice bright-white light during the day, while you're working, fine. But if that evening you want a warmer, softer light, just touch a couple of just try! buy viagra online no prescription buttons and you might as well be eating by candle-light.
OK, I don't actually know if they light quality is that good, since I don't have one here in front of me. LEDs have traditionally had a hard time getting a perfect spectrum, but it seems like allowing for a shift could go a long way towards appeasing folks who think the color of their walls is more important than, y'know, the world.
The lamps have the high quality cialis long-life (40,000 hrs) and low energy-use that we've come to expect from LEDs, though they're not quite as efficient as they could be, since the remote sensor will always be dragging a tiny sip of power.

"I was so easily able to personalize this business card design perfectly to the way I wanted it. I am so pleased with this cards."
"Everyone who gets one of my new business cards comments on how cool they are! I wanted clean and modern and was not disappointed. I have also been told they are classy, yet playful! I was able to select the font styles that suited my business and I uploaded a picture of my choice. It was fast, easy and super efficient. I will definitely recommend Tiny Prints to my friends!! Plus now I am hooked on all the cool stationary items as well!"
"I designed two Tiny Prints business cards using my own photography. The card stock is of good quality and the photographic quality is terrific! I reordered one of the cards and it arrived quickly and once again, it was done beautifully! The cards are special and make an impact when shared. Thank you to Tiny Prints for doing such quality work! I'm a happy returning customer!"
"This is a great business card.. Card stock is excellent. Many lines of text can be included. Love the color and texture of the card. On the back of the card, I had uploaded a picture that was square. My product reviewer was able to modify the picture to fit the circle on the back....TOTALLY AWESOME! Looks very professional."
"I was looking for business cards that would reflect my personality and potential.....these 'fit the bill' for me! The quality is first rate. The main negative was the cost....definitely prohibitive."

The Green Bay Packers are still tops – well, at least they are among three other teams that have the distinction of playing in the most watched events in television history.
The Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, which tied Super Bowl XLVI featuring the New York Giants and New England Patriots for the highest number of viewers for a single television event – 111 million.
Sunday night's Super Bowl XLVII won by the Baltimore Ravens over the San Francisco 49ers rang up 108 million viewers. Not bad, but those numbers place that event third place overall.
While football viewership declined overall this season, I don't think National Football League officials are too concerned. This was the fourth year that the Super Bowl game has crested the 100 million threshold. What's more concerning is that NFL officials have publicly declared that the game is seeing fewer stadium sellouts because the television experience has improved so greatly. With the decline in total television viewership, does that signal a lessening of the league's stranglehold on overall popularity? Those will be interesting numbers to follow in the coming years.

I told her I would get her back. She uses my flip camera all the time and used it to film all of her video's of her video's that are on her page. She used my camera to make this video apparently, and she forgot to delete it from the camera. Thus led to the posting of this video (THE ULTIMATE REVENGE) Ahahahaha. She does know I posted it if you read the very 1st comment it was from her. This was simple a prank and was not posted to try to become popular. "SHE" is a hillarious person.

Matt Damon apologizes to PETA, hates bullfighting, doesn't wear a meat dress. Love him. »
You will never guess what happened to Matt Damon after he attended a bullfight in Mexico City: He got a phone call from PETA, demanding an explanation! To which he responded with not only an explanation, but an apology.
Jane Dollinger for PETA has reportedly stated, "Matt said that he went to the bullfight believing that bullfights should be stopped but felt that he should see the cruelty for himself while he was in Mexico. He said that seeing with his own eyes what these tormented animals go through only reinforced an already strongly held belief that bullfights should be relegated to the history books.
"He also said that he was upset to think that his attendance was in any way construed to be an endorsement of such a barbaric activity."
Matt Damon at the bullfight.
I'm having a hard time being mad at him for this [Ed. note: Read: Jenny totally wants to hit that! Myself, I don't buy his, "I didn't know" routine. Don't play dumb with me, Matty!]. I mean, bullfights, awful, for real! Good for PETA for getting to the bottom of the situation, right? I guess I could get behind a Matt Damon campaign for PETA. Don't you want to see Ben Affleck in it too? I miss those guys together. So long as they aren't wearing leather jackets, feather earrings or some other bullshit in their very special celebrity PETA poster. Ah! Pun not intended.
Actually, I really despise the PETA campaigns featuring celebs who eat meat. It seems hypocritical to me, like "I love animals, stop abusing them, BUT I ALSO REALLY LOVE EATING THEM!" Or, "I'd never wear fur, but I'll wear a meat dress to an awards show."
Maybe he should stay away from PETA, but still work to stop this atrocious spectacle of tormenting bulls for entertainment.
In more Matt Damon news, PETA has already addressed his movie We Bought a Zoo [Ed. note: oy, that movie makes me want to vom! War Horse too, War Horse can kiss my ass], and he helped start the charity Water.org.

When bids to build the animal shelter were opened in March, each of the nine bids exceeded the $3.2 million budgeted for construction. The shelter project, including design, the purchase of land and other expenses, was planned to cost a total of $4.5 million.
Members of the council voted unanimously during their regular meeting Tuesday to draw the extra money from the city's General Projects Fund 301, the only fund that can be used for any city project. Nearly $1.5 million is available in Fund 301 for the city's 2014-15 fiscal year.
At a Capital Improvement Projects workshop Tuesday, council members and city employees discussed allocating more money to complete the project.
Mayor Pro Tem Michael Maciel asked if the bids for the shelter were a sign that the "very positive bidding environment" that had existed for several years had changed.
"With a slow economy, we enjoyed a situation where bids usually came in a little lower than expected," Maciel said.
Kuldeep Sharma, utilities director, described the nine bids the city received as competitive and said the city would probably have to adjust its projections for future bids.
The low base bid was $3,334,000, from D.G. Grande Inc. of Shingle Springs. The contractor also provided bids for each item in a list of 11 add-ons for the first phase of the shelter construction.
At Tuesday's council meeting, Sharma said the city had two options for the shelter. The first was to accept a resolution awarding the construction contract to D.G. Grande Inc. using the additional $672,460 from Fund 301. The second was to reject all the bids and redesign the scope of the project for the council's approval at a later date.
"If council approves as recommended for awarding the construction contract, staff believes the facility will be a functional facility and will provide much better services than the existing facility," Sharma said.
He warned that rejecting the bids and reducing the scope of the project would mean spending more on designs and that a smaller shelter might not be able to provide the level of service the community wanted.
Zena Robbins spoke during public comment time in favor of the new shelter project, calling the existing shelter "uninviting, like a prison with a very quick death row." Robbins called on the council to provide the additional funding.
"I'm very passionate about this cause — I just truly hope this can come to fruition," Robbins said. "The longer we wait, sounds like it will be an even more expensive project in the future. Realistically, strike while the iron is hot. It just makes common economic sense."
Maciel said he did not believe the council had any other option but to approve the additional money from Fund 301.
"Realistically, we don't have options. We're committed to this. We have made it a priority," Maciel said. "The realities of a tougher bidding environment notwithstanding, we need to move forward. We have the money in 301. Spending this amount of money might create some challenges down the road, but we will deal with those down the road."
Councilman Charles Manne agreed that the city could not wait any longer to build the animal shelter.
"This council supports a new shelter. We're upgrading from a completely inadequate facility that doesn't represent a town of 83,000-plus people," Manne said. "I want to see everyone at a ribbon cutting in December. The longer we wait, the more the construction costs will go up."
The shelter will be built on the southwest corner of Grant Line and Paradise roads. Barring complications at the site, it is expected to be completed by December.
The additional funding requested on Tuesday will pay for the base construction and two of the add-on items: sinks and cabinets and cat holding cages.
Sharma said the goal would be to use the most cost-effective construction methods and use any savings to add more items from the list of remaining additional features. In order of priority, those items are: eight parking spaces, tubular skylights, concrete wraps at column bases, grooming equipment, a landscaped area, dog exercise yards, irrigated trees at the perimeter and entry trellis sections.

Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said he would be surprised if signee Jake Skole doesn't go and play professional baseball.
Skole was selected by the Texas Rangers in the first round of Monday's baseball draft. He had signed to play football for the Jackets, and was also going to play baseball. His brother, Matt, is Tech's third baseman.
Johnson said he talked to Jake late Monday.
"I'm excited for Jake and his family," Johnson said on Monday at the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in Macon. "Whatever happens, I'll be surprised if he doesn't go play baseball. He'd have to turn down a lot of money.
"If it doesn't work out, we'd love to have him at Georgia Tech. I can't imagine being 18 years old and having that opportunity. It's going to be exicting."
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that Skole was going to try and sign with the Rangers, who selected him 15th overall.
"I always felt like I'd end up being a baseball player," Skole told the paper's website. "I was about to [play football] and then all this draft stuff started popping up. I figured I might be able to have a future in this."
Borrowing from colleague Michael Carvell's blog:
Skole's baseball fortunes seemed bleak when he missed most of the regular season with a high-ankle sprain. However, Skole returned to Blessed Trinity's team in time for the playoffs to put on a show for the MLB scouts. In 14 playoff games, Skole hit .452 with six home runs and 21 RBIs. In the Class AA semifinals against Georgia's No. 1 pitching prospect, Cook's Kaleb Cowart (97 mph, drafted No. 18 by the LA Angels), Skole was retired on a called third strike to lead off the game. He responded with a pair of line-drive hits in his next two plate appearances against Cowart.

How many times has UGA been to the CWS in the last 15 years and how many NCs in baseball has UGA won? 1 at least. Tech? NONE …………humiliated at HOME by another SEC team and this fact is why Tech will never, ever get back in the club.

Best of luck to Jake. He would be a fool to choose college football over professional baseball and all the money. Actually, just about anybody would be a fool to choose football over baseball. Clemson will find that out soon.

Why is no one talking about the HUMILIATING DEFEAT at tehc in baseball and at the hands of Alabama, of SEC fame?
One question? How many trips to the CWS has Tech made?? How many ……….hmm??? Not one trip to Omaha has tech made. Therefore, the average college baseball fan can conclude that tech is not a baseball school, given that humiliating truth.

Texas officer stumbles onto attempted smash and grab robbery
Houston, TX, United States (4E) – A suspected thief who slammed his vehicle into a convenience store in Houston, Texas was prevented from taking anything by a passing police officer early Friday morning.
According to officials, the sports utility vehicle crashed through the Corner Store located along Antoine and Acorn around 1:15 a.m., breaking its security bars. A few minutes after, a law enforcement officer drove by, scaring off the alleged criminal.
The officer chased the suspect for more than five minutes before the driver left his vehicle and escaped on foot upon reaching Oak Thicket Drive and Log View Drive.
Prashant Shah, the store owner, said nothing was stolen but the incident caused more than $15,000 damage to his store.
This is the second crime that happened to his store, he was robbed at gunpoint two weeks ago.

"I highly recommend this print in address labels and gift tag stickers!!! I got this for my daughter in both and we love them!! So pretty and vibrant!!!"
"We ordered these for my daughter's 4th birthday. They matched the invites we ordered. I used them on the party favors and they looked amazing!! Since it was an elephant theme the party favors were marshmallow peanuts in little clear boxes with these stickers on the front. They looked adorable. We got comments from everyone! Tiny Prints shipped these super fast, the shipping was not costly like most places, and the final product looked great! We love Tiny Prints!"
"I have been searching for custom hang tags for my home-based business and came across this Sticker. With a little creative intution I re-designed the lettering and used a deeper brown to make my business logo "POP" I wanted a "WOW FACTOR" when people touched my product and we all know that image is everything!! Much to my surprise when the product arrived I was pleasantly surprised. The quality of the product far surpasses it's price!! This is where quality meets affordability. The first thing my customers notice is the labeling before the product!! If I stated every person's praises I would be here all night!! With a little imagination this product could be used for just about anything!!"

Oscar winner Marlee Matlin has lashed out at "Saturday Night Live" for poking fun at sign language during the opening skit on Saturday's show.
Bing: Watch more 'SNL' skits
As regulars Fred Armisen and Bobby Moynihan impersonated New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in the press conference sketch about the Hurricane Sandy disaster, two castmates offered comic signing beside them.
But the hearing-impaired Matlin wasn't laughing -- she found the skit offensive and took to Twitter.com to slam the show's producers and the stars themselves.
In a series of angry tweets, she wrote, "Millions of deaf people use sign [language]. Why poke fun/fake it? Poke fun at ME but not the language.
"Sign is not mime; it is a legit language. That's why I developed an App #MarleeSigns to teach it. As I've said, I don't mind fun poked at me, as I poke back. But at the language, that millions use? It feels childish and insulting.
"Here's my point. Deaf people HAVE a sense of humor... But faking signs that we use isn't the same. Imagine if a show started making fun of Spanish [using fake Spanish] or Japanese. Do you think they'd actually get away with it? Uh, no...
"The jokes about sign cold [sic] be funny if done right... Seinfeld, Family Guy, My Name is Earl WERE funny. This stuff is just dumb."

"It happened in a flash."
Molly Hauck says she will never forget September 27, 2012.
While depositing checks at a Wells Fargo Bank in Rockville, an armed man stole her car, her purse and valuables along with it.
"He cashed my checks in Waldorf," she says. "They were retrieved and I got my money back. Then he used my car to hold up a Rite Aid in Annapolis at gunpoint."
Police say 28-year-old Byron Govan kept Hauck's car for more than a month. It was his getaway vehicle during his one-man crime spree.
"So then he decides he shouldn't use my car anymore, so he torches it," Hauck says. "A brand new Prius."
Govan might have continued his crime wave, but he slipped up, giving his phone number to a woman at a bar and police were able to track him down.
He pled guilty to numerous charges and was sentenced to 35 years behind bars.
In court, Hauck got to confront the man who shattered her sense of security.
"I said, 'You scared me. I didn't know what you were going to next, if you would shoot me,'" she told him.
Authorities say at the rate Govan was going, it was only a matter of time before someone got hurt.
"He's a menace to society, but he's off the street now because of this prosecution," says Ramon Korionoff, spokesperson for the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office.

|Sells Hjerim and upgrades, gives bounty quests

Jorlief is a Nord and the steward of Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak of Windhelm, and can be found in the Palace of the Kings.
He is proud to serve Ulfric, but if the Dragonborn sided with the Imperials in the Civil War, he mentions that he will never miss Ulfric's fiery temper. Once Fort Neugrad has been captured for the Stormcloaks in the Civil War, the Dragonborn can buy the house, Hjerim, for 12,000 , although he will accept 8,000or more, and he also hands out the Windhelm Home Decorating Guide.
He is essential in the quest Blood on the Ice, as the guards will only let the Dragonborn investigate if Jorleif permits it. According to the Skyrim Strategy Guide, Jorleif is supposed to be replaced by Captain Lonely-Gale as steward once Windhelm has fallen to Imperial control, but this never happens.
- Blood on the Ice.
- Talking to Jorlief can start miscellaneous Bounty Quests. This can be done infinitely.
- "Serving as Steward to Ulfric Stormcloak was a great honor, but I don't miss his temper." (If the Dragonborn killed Ulfric as part of the Imperial Legion side of the Civil War)
- "I don't care that we lost, I'm just glad the war is over." (If Imperials won war)
- "The Stormcloaks are finding victory across the land."
- "I'm not much of a strategist, but Lord Ulfric listens to my counsel all the same."
- "He seems to value my counsel, and I'm grateful for that."
- "Travel safely. It's dangerous out there."
- "I don't like talking to someone who holds their honor so cheaply."
This section contains bugs related to Jorleif. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
- 360 - Sometimes if he is talked to, all he will say is "If you're planning violence against me or mine, you'll regret it." So far, there is no way to fix this and is only confirmed on the 360 .
- PC Sometimes Jorleif can be found lying on the floor. He is still fully functional, but won't get up.
- PC 360 PS3 If Jorleif is talked to before completing the Blood On Ice quest, there will be no option to acquire the house.
- PC 360 PS3 The option to buy and upgrade the house may not be in the speech list. This only happens in the same sitting as killing Ulfric. Saving and resetting the game will fix this.

"I was expecting a more retro fit. Running shoes in the old days had a thinner profile. These are wide and clunky. The mint color is pretty, but because the toe and heel areas are wrapped in soft suede I was afraid they would get grubby-looking fast. Comfort was good, although the instep lacing comes up a bit high. Decided to return them."

Paul is now part of the fourth generation in America that is involved in farming and hopes the next generation will be involved also. Through his blog he provides analysis and insight to farmer tax questions.
Two recent Tax Court cases reinforce the old saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is." In the cases, two relatively wealthy taxpayers consulted with a Big 6 CPA firm and entered into transactions to convert a regular IRA with assets in excess of $1 million into a Roth IRA and not pay any taxes on the conversion. As we have previously discussed, many taxpayers in 2010 converted their regular IRA into a Roth IRA and elected to spread the tax over 2011 and 2012.
In these cases, the taxpayers with advice and documentation from so-called experienced advisers went to elaborate lengths to switch their IRA to a Roth. The IRS finally got around to auditing the taxpayers and, in one case, they assessed five years' worth of excise taxes and penalties in excess of $525,000. The total value of the IRA at the peak was slightly in excess of $1 million, so more than 50% of the IRA was now eaten up by excise taxes. These excise taxes are owed by the taxpayers and, at some point, they will need to cash in the IRA (since it was not a legal Roth conversion) and will owe federal and state income taxes on top of the excise taxes.
Based on my reading of the numbers, I estimate that the taxpayers will owe more in taxes than the IRA was ever worth.
This is a good lesson for all of us. If something sounds too good to be true, get a trusted second opinion. These taxpayers took one adviser's word as truth and never got the correct advice that might have save them substantial money, time and headaches.

OAKLAND -- The family of Jahi McMath and the hospital seeking to have the brain-dead 13-year-old taken off a ventilator will meet in federal court for the first time Friday, possibly working toward an end to the ongoing battle over the girl's fate.
A federal magistrate ordered the settlement conference between the family and Children's Hospital Oakland for 11 a.m. Friday. The order comes as Jahi's family continues to search for a doctor that will perform medical procedures required to move her to another facility for long-term care.
The family says it has located a facility that will be take her, and has consent from the Alameda County Coroner's Office to move Jahi, but they are missing a key component: finding a doctor to perform a tracheotomy for breathing and to insert a gastric tube for feeding.
A doctor and lawyer on Thursday described the standoff as a "Catch-22." Because Jahi is brain dead -- the equivalent of the end of life in the medical field -- no doctors at Children's Hospital nor most around the country will perform the procedures. Outside doctors cannot operate inside the Oakland hospital, leaving the family with the option of moving her to a nearby facility for an emergency operation before she can be flown to New Beginnings Community Center on Long Island in New York, the facility that has agreed to accept Jahi.
But as it stood Thursday afternoon, no doctor has agreed to perform a tracheotomy for breathing and insert a gastric tube for feeding. Three separate courts have denied requests by the family attorney, Christopher Dolan, to order the hospital to perform the operations on Jahi. Another request was filed by Dolan in Alameda County Superior Court on Thursday.
Meanwhile, a temporary restraining order keeping Jahi on a ventilator is set to expire on Tuesday.
"They have until Tuesday for someone to blink, and it doesn't look like anyone is blinking," said Bruce Fagel, a licensed physician from Southern California who now works as a medical malpractice lawyer.
A Dec. 9 surgery to remove her tonsils and tissue from her nose and throat to treat sleep apnea was completed without incident, but she began bleeding profusely after the surgery. She went into cardiac arrest the same night and was pronounced brain dead on Dec. 12, with multiple doctors saying there is no blood flowing to her brain and no chance of recovery.
Jahi's family, however, does not accept that diagnosis. A doctor the family brought in to observe Jahi has testified under oath that he believes she is alive, according to court documents.
Doctors and ethicists have said it is unheard of for a patient declared brain dead to be moved to a long-term facility. The same experts have said the hospital is following state law and that the hospital's position is what would be expected from other facilities.
"It's a pretty rare situation," Ryan Holmes, a bioethicist with the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, told the Bay Area News Group last week. "In most cases, while it's a devastating diagnosis, people understand there's not anything that can be done when they determine the patient's brain is not functioning. But I understand why this family is hesitant to do that; they certainly have been put through a lot."
Lawyers for Children's Hospital have said the facility will allow a transfer of Jahi's body to another location if the family meets three requirements: naming the facility Jahi would be moved to, and providing the facility's terms and conditions; naming who will physically transfer Jahi and identifying the travel plans; and obtaining consent from the county coroner's office.
Hospital spokesman Sam Singer said Thursday the hospital has not heard from any facility.
"We have not received one single phone call," Singer said. "It's unfair and unethical to hold out hope in this case. It's perpetuating a tragic hope on the public that anything could be done. It's never happened before and it's not going to happen here."
Dolan did not respond to a message seeking comment.

Introduction to exploit automation with Pmcma, Part I
By Jonathan Brossard
Determining exploitability is hard, writing exploits is hard. In fact, due to theoretical limitations
hopefully known to the reader of this paper (aka: halting point problem), they are two sides of the
same coin. Proving unexploitability is provably unfeasible in the general case, and practically for
the vast majority of computer programs actually used nowadays. So what you can get at best is a it's
not doable given the state of the art of exploitation. Public knowledge, common sense… In this
article the author made a serious efforts to provide you all the details concerning Pmcma tool,
released at the Black Hat US conference this year.

Ryan Giggs hopes to be involved against Manchester City despite playing 86 minutes of Wednesday's Champions League tie with CFR Cluj.
The 39-year-old is keen to feature against United's neighbours in Sunday's top-of-the-table clash and is targeting a winning run beyond Christmas to put the club in pole position to wrest the title back from Roberto Mancini's side.
It's incredible to think that Giggs was scoring in the derby as long ago as 1991, even if the ball did go in off Colin Hendry, and the midfielder is awaiting confirmation of Sir Alex Ferguson's plans for the Etihad Stadium.
"I hope not," he replied, when asked by PA Sport if playing most of the midweek defeats means he will not be selected on Sunday. "I want to be involved in every game. I realise it is a squad game. The manager has plenty of options, which you want going into a game like this. We trust his judgement so we will have to wait and see.
"We want perfection. We want to be the best team and each individual wants to be the best player. You want to be involved when the games come around. There is always room for improvement but I agree with the manager, we must be doing something right because we are in a good position."
The veteran campaigner is more interested in the bigger picture in terms of the Barclays Premier League title, even if victory would take the Reds six points clear at the summer.
"Six points in front would be a great position but we are not fussed if we are winning at the turn of the year or a couple of points behind," he argued. "You would always take a lead but as long as we are there or thereabouts. We would like to go on a run after Christmas. Now the

Long-Awaited Reads Month
>> Thursday, January 3, 2013
I've been looking forward to this ever since I heard about it. Nymeth and Iris are hosting this and you can read more details at their sites by clicking on their names.
In short it's a no pressure encouragement to read books you have been eagerly anticipating or those that have been in the "I've been meaning to read that" category for too long.
I'm not really willing to commit to any specific books, nor am I going to say I won't read any books that do not meet these criteria at some point this month.
That's what I like about the "No Pressure" part.
One book that definitely qualifies and that I've already started is Sarum: The Novel of England by Edward Rutherfurd.
I read this many many years ago and it's been my answer to the "What book would you wish to have with you on a deserted island" ever since. I've been intending to re-read it for a long time. I have the mass market edition I originally read and the newer larger trade paperback edition on my shelves but part of the reason I haven't re-read it yet is that it's so darn BIG. I take a backpack with my lunch, purse, reading material and other necessities of a train commuters life back and forth with me on the days I work downtown and great big gigantimous books are difficult to fit in. It's particularly difficult when I've also got my work laptop and work papers in there. Because of this I added a third format of this book to my library when the ebook edition was released. That gives me the best of both worlds. I can read the ebook on the train or at work and I can pull out the trade paper edition (all 900ish pages of it) when I'm at home (because ebooks just don't do justice to family tree and map pages).
This is my primary Long-Awaited read for this month and there's a good chance I won't even finish it before the end of the month. I don't care. I'm just glad to finally be re-reading it.
I have a few other possibilities hanging around and hope to add a few of those into my reading menu during January.
I've also started A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly. This one is definitely in the "I've been meaning to read that for years" category.
Many people I trust have recommended this book over the years and it's been languishing on the 'someday' list far too long. Someday is today.
If you'd like to participate in Long-Awaited Reads Month, hop on over to see Nymeth at Things Mean a Lot or visit Iris on Books for further details and what reading community activities they have in mind. It should be a fun month of talking about books.

The macro I use for tricks of the trade is a little different. As sometimes we need to switch focus of which targets gets tricks midfight (other rogue dies, different tank needs it, etc etc), I use a mouseover macro. You mouse over either the target (like the person's body in front of you for example) or their box in your raid screen, hit the macro (keybound since it's a mouseover) and it'll not only give them tricks but sends a whisper to the person that they're recieving your tricks of the trade. You can change the flavor text to your liking.
/cast [target=mouseover] Tricks of the Trade

#Trending on Social Platforms
July 18, 2014
By: Hannah Wheeless @tweetsonwheels
From flip phones to iPhones, G2G to BAE, and highwaisted shorts to- well back to high waisted shorts, the latest trend is something we've all strived to keep up with at some point in our lives. Trends tell us what's new or popular so we can be a part of it.
By collecting the most mentioned topics, phrases and words in social media posts, different platforms can display them for all their users to see allowing the opportunity to engage with others in the online community. With an opportunity like that, many social networks couldn't pass up utilizing this trending concept.
Hashtags may be the first place your mind goes to when thinking of trends. The introduction of the hashtag on social media allows users to categorize their posts making popular or trending topics appear in a column on the newsfeed or home page. However, trends can be created with or without a hashtag. Using a specific word or phrase in a post categorizes it with any other users post that also includes that word or phrase. After enough users start chatting about that specific topic, it becomes a trending topic.
Hashtags and Twitter go together like bricks and Court Street. The categorizing of trends through hashtags allows users to instantly engage in conversations with fellow tweeters about anything from the Scandal finale to record breaking brick wall, Tim Howard. This hashtag concept has quickly been adopted by other platforms including Facebook, Vine, Pinterest and Instagram. Searching a word or phrase in theses platforms will lead you to a page that compiles photos, status updates or posts with that same topic.
Instagram uses trends the same way as its fellow social media friends. However, because Instagram is limited to only sharing images, they only have the "explore" page that displays images based on accounts you follow, images you've liked, as well as popular trending images within your area and around the world.
Whether you're on YouTube for some laughs from your favorite Jenna Marbles clip or to attempt learning the latest dance craze, Youtube keeps track of who's watching what and how often. They find trending videos and display them on their home page, dividing them into categories from sports, cooking and music. You can also use a hashtag in the description of your uploaded videos to make them more easily found by others.
Reddit is a website constantly being updated with anything from breaking news to goofy memes. The entire website is organized by up and down votes, likes and dislikes. Therefore, the top post has the most upvotes or is the highest trending post, followed by the next highest trending post and so on. This system allows trending topics to be easily available as well as become interactive.
At the end of the day, any website or social media platform is looking to find the most talked about topics and make them available to its users. Hashtag or not, when something big happens in the world or even just in your own town, social media platforms are the perfect place to get the details and join in on the movement.

More flowers in the Guerilla Garden
Yesterday we finally got on to plant new flowers on the patch that had been dug up about 2 weeks ago. It's looking good, isn't it?
We also did some weeding, spread some slug pellets out and did our best to kill the ants eating the dahlias!
New plants have been donated by Walsall DIY or sold to us with a huge discount. Thank you, Walsall DIY.
I don't think there is any space to plant anything left at the moment:-) Still, would be great to have some really beautiful and well kept grass there - but maybe it's something for the next year?
What is the best way to get a nice grass lawn, cheap?
One night, right in front of the Black Country Arms…
How long must it take to repair the paving at the top of the Walsall market? This fence has been here for at least 3 weeks and no work has been done so far - walking in the night there feels like you are in some kind of ghost town, with a huge supermarket looming over closed shops and crumbling infrastructure.
Grim image indeed.
And while we're at it and if it's a question of money, couldn't ASDA contribute to the renovation? The cobbles are right there, in front of the big ASDA logo.
And here is the bit that still looks alright, but might soon start deteriorating:
Here. You've got me. Complaining.
Urban gardening in Moletai, Lithuania
I am sorry for the long break, but I've just come back from a study trip around Lithuania organised within the international project Localise. The aim was to get to know Lithuanian cultural institutions, ngos and other organisations running projects and initiatives with and for local communities. We travelled around Lithuania in a group of 15 artists, community arts and culture animation practitioners from three countries: Poland, Lithuania and the UK.
It was a very fruitful and inspiring experience in many ways, but I really didn't expect to see this in a little town of Moletai, about 60 km north of Vilnius:
I don't know if it is a guerilla gardening project, a local school initiative or an activity that was a part of the 650 years of Moletai festival, but look at the effect! It's easy, it's cheap and very very impressive.
I am starting to collect 1,5 l bottles. Let me know if you have any and are planning to be in Caldmore anytime soon.
Walsall to Chasewater Reservoir and back
I met with my mate Q yesterday for some cycling around Walsall - I had been planning to go to Chasewater & Hammerwich for a while so I proposed following National Route 5 to the reservoir. I don't think he expected such a long ride - we ended up doing 40 km in a bit more than 3 hours.
But hey, the sun was shining and everything invited us to go for a ride!
Everything is in bloom now and the canals look amazing - both the industrial and wilder fragments. It was quite muddy on the tow-path alongside Daw End and Rushall Canal. It was quite difficult to cycle on that bit between Aldridge and Rushall when the path is very narrow and can be wet. Still fun, though!
Chasewater itself was a bit of a disappointment - even though I'm not even sure what I expected, a lake, maybe? There wasn't that much water in it and we learnt that it was due to the two years' works being done on the dam. They're supposed to finish by the end of the year, so I am already looking forward to the next!
We saw a lot of ducks and swans with their young, a dead dog lying by the tow path right opposite Brownhills' Tesco and a crazy heron on Rushall Canal that kept on flying off and landing in the middle of the path in front of us.
Ah, and we had a short stop at Manor Arms pub in Rushall. What a great place for a break on a day out.
It was a delightful day. The National Route was good, so I will be exploring other parts soon - Lichfield, anyone?

Wells Fargo stock draws Buffett, Paulson
Warren Buffett adds to his significant stake in Wells Fargo, as John Paulson establishes an initial position.
By Lauren Tara LaCapra, TheStreet
Some high-profile financiers got more bullish on Wells Fargo (WFC) last quarter, tempting retail investors to mimic their moves.
It's not surprising that Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) has long held stock in Wells Fargo, one of the country's largest banks. It's a quintessential American stock that has held up well through the crisis, and a company whose earnings had increased at a steady clip for many years. Buffett likes those types of investments.
Last quarter, Berkshire bought another 6.7 million of Wells Fargo's common shares. The firm now holds 320 million shares, or roughly 6.7% of the total. Buffett may have acquired more stock to maintain Berkshire's position as Wells' largest individual holder, while the company issued 426 million new shares to repay TARP.
Buffett was none too happy about the related dilution, and the market value of his Berkshire holdings dropped by $127.5 million to $7.2 billion from where it stood at the end of the third quarter.
Find a broker and start trading now
John Paulson was also a big buyer of Wells Fargo stock last quarter, through his hedge fund Paulson & Co. Paulson's move might be more interesting because he went from holding no Wells stock in the third quarter to buying 17.5 million in the last three months of 2009. While Buffett has a long history of simple investment decisions, the market may be more interested in what Paulson thinks of financial stocks because he was one of the few investors to bet against the housing bubble at its peak.
Still, it's worth noting that those investment decisions were made during the fourth quarter, and few investors make money by looking in the rearview mirror. There's a bearish case to be made for Wells Fargo stock -- at least in the near term -- one that became more evident after it reported fourth-quarter results on Jan. 20.
While Wells has consistently beat earnings expectations in recent quarters, some investors have remained skeptical. While few doubt the revenue-generating capability that management often touts, some are understandably skeptical that it could be quite that strong.
For instance, it's unsurprising that Goldman Sachs (GS) was able to post rock-star profits last year, because despite its bank-holding-company status, it still operates largely as an investment bank, and its market savvy is well documented.
On the other hand, Wells Fargo is largely a consumer bank, which some does wholesale banking and asset management as well. Few of the businesses to which it has massive exposure -- such as housing and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate -- have been doing well. In fact they've been doing quite poorly. Mortgage modifications and deep initial write-downs on Wachovia's toxic assets can't entirely account for Wells Fargo's stellar performance.
In fact, Wells Fargo's mortgage business has been doing surprisingly well -- in part because it took hold of the refinancing boom early and quickly, becoming the country's top servicer by its own account. But it also earned a pretty penny by betting on the direction of interest rates, and other types of hedges to support its large mortgage-servicing business.
Rochdale Securities analyst Richard Bove notes that hedges related to Wells Fargo's mortgage-servicing rights made up an increasing amount of Wells Fargo's profits as the year progressed.
Mortgage-servicing hedges accounted for $6.8 billion, or 38%, of Wells Fargo's pre-tax earnings for all of 2009. In the second half of the year alone, as the refinancing wave abetted and the outlook for a Federal Reserve interest-rate hike became more certain, those bets accounted for over 51% of Wells' pre-tax income. In just the fourth quarter, they accounted for 53%.
Wells Fargo management has explicitly said that it making more aggressive bets that interest rates will soon rise. This is in line with comments from banking regulators and makes sense. But Bove points out that investors betting on Wells Fargo shares appear to be betting increasingly on management's judgment about market moves than about the core business of lending.
"It seems clear that the bank is heavily relying on its judgments concerning interest rate direction to offset weak operating results," says Bove. "To date, management has been very adept at doing this. It has demonstrated above average acumen in this regard. Plus, it looks like the successes of the past will continue, further augmenting earnings."
Still, the analyst believes this represents a "conundrum" in reviewing the company's results. As a result, Bove maintains a sell rating on Wells Fargo stock, citing a "higher than normal level of risk in adopting this view."
And while Buffett and Paulson were actively buying up Wells Fargo stock, a few other prominent fund managers weren't, and at least one was selling. George Soros' hedge fund -- albeit a far smaller holder of Wells Fargo stock -- sold 6,700 shares during the fourth quarter. Bill Ackman's Pershing Square doesn't hold any Wells Fargo shares, nor does David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital.
Based on Wednesday's close at $27.33, Wells shares were up about 1.5% in 2010, a better performance than big bank peers Bank of America (BAC), up less than 1%, Citigroup (C), which is essentially flat, and JPMorgan Chase (JPM), down almost 4%.

BeSafe RFID Medium Shoulder Bag 13 13
Would not recommend Purse had good safety features but no room inside the purse to carry much of anything. I could barely get my hand inside the bag much less try to fit anything else in there. For the money it is not a good value. I actually found a safety purse on QVC with more safety features for $20 less. I have returned this bag. September 3, 2014
Great for travel Purchased this bag because I planned to be in an area where there would be large crowds and wanted security against card readers. The bag met most of my expectations. One negative is that the purse doesn't stand on its own. When you set it down it flops over. This was a minor annoyance. I also felt the inside was a little tight which causes you to fumble around to get your wallet or anything from inside the purse. If you are a minimalist it is perfect but most women carry more than 3 items in their purse. I will purchase the larger size. January 16, 2014
Wish I could exchange I purchased this bag approx 2 mos ago in anticipation of a trip out of the country later this year. I have carried it daily to see how it works. The front zip compartment is difficult to retrieve cards. The bag itself is heavy and the shoulder strap is not comfortable. It acommodates a lot of items in its interior but, again, you will tear nails and cuticles retrieving them. I purchased for the size and rfid qualities. I doubt I will carry it overseas because of the uncomfortable structure of the bag and its weight on these 70 year old shoulders. April 10, 2013
Shoulder bag This bag is too rough and very hard to get into. Didn't like it April 14, 2014
Disappointed Exterior pockets won't fit either a water bottle or a current-style cell phone. April 8, 2014
very nice and sturdy. Great to carry at an amusement park or any vacation spot. Just wished it was a tad wider in the main section to reach into easier. April 3, 2014
Hard to get at items in bag I have not used this bag yet, but my initial thoughts about the product are that the opening seems too narrow when trying to access items and the depth is not wide enough. Seems too snug when filled. Might decide to buy aanother style bag. April 8, 2013
Great! I've had 2 of these in past but due to a recent fire, lost both :-( Am re-ordering another one. LOVE all the pockets, but the only thing I don't like is it isn't very easy to clean. Would love to see this in a leather, perhaps wouldn't stain so easily. This is the only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. November 11, 2012

CJS's "Summer Swingin' In Savannah!" presents the "Kelly/Scott Quartet"
Featuring: Vocalist Lisa Kelly, Trumpeter JB Scott,
Pianist-bassist Jeff Phillips & Drummer Clyde Connor.
A 5-time Downbeat Magazine award winning vocalist and composer, and "2013 Jacksonville Jazz Festival Hall of Fame" inductee, Lisa Kelly is considered by many to be one of the best big band singers in the country but is equally at home in an intimate small group setting. Trumpeter JB Scott is an associate professor of music at the University of North Florida, directing the acclaimed UNF Jazz Ensemble I and teaching jazz trumpet & other music related courses. His hard swinging and lyrical lines carry on the tradition of Louis Armstrong, Ruby Braff, Freddie Hubbard, Clark Terry, Dizzy Gillespie and Arturo Sandoval. His broad versatility of style comes from years of experience performing in big bands and Miami Latin bands, touring with the Barnum & Bailey Circus, to three years fronting the world
famous Dukes of Dixieland.
Ms. Kelly's singing style reflects influences from the classic jazz vocals of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Carmen McCrae to the modern stylists Diana Krall and Dianne Reeves. She is well known for her solid sense of swing feel, impeccable phrasing, a horn-like approach to scatting and her rich, intimate vocal timbre. Scott and Kelly have appeared on numerous international jazz festivals in Europe & the U.S, including the Montreux JF, North Sea JF, Clearwater JF, Monterey JF, and the Savannah JF, THey have performed with such legendary jazz notables as Bunky Green, Arturo Sandoval, Tim Hagan, Bill Allred, Lynne Arriale, Danny Gottlieb, Slide Hampton, Ed Calle, Carmen Bradford, Dave Steinmeyer, and Bob Draga. They have released 5 CD recordings and have appeared on many recordings with other artists. Both have been profiled in the book, "The New Face of Jazz."
They will be joined by two outstanding rhythm section players, Jeff Phillips (Orlando) on piano & bass, and Clyde Connor on drums. Jeff Phillips is highly recognized for his expansive repertoire, Oscar Peterson/Art Tatum/ Bill Evans influences and incredible ability to play piano, bass pedals and guitar in a solid, tasteful, authentic swing pocket, often heard with vocalist Lisa Kelly, Bill Allred's Classic Jazz and the Midiri Bros.
