Hi PD! This is Part 1 of my swatchfest for the Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24Hr Eyeshadows. I own quite a bit of these, and after asking Arabelle, I decided to split the swatchfest into two categories, limited edition and permanent range. These shades are limited edition.
Most of these colors, namely every single one except the teal shade, are from the Maybelline Limited Edition Fall 2012 Fashion Week collection. I purchased these at Walgreens, but they have been seen Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens, so definitely pick them up. You know me and neutrals, so I had to pick them all up because reasons. :| My favorite is definitely Mossy Green, which looks absolutely beautiful by itself on the lid or as a part of a awesome smokey eye. The teal shade is also limited edition (I don't know if the collection of the four colors has a name) and can be found at Target.
Finally, as usual, took the swatches without primer and built up the product so you could truly see the colors. Rich Mahogany and Barely Beige took some work to build up the color, but Gold Shimmer, Mossy Green and Test my Teal were very easy to work with. Barely Beige is a great highlighting color, either popped in the inner corner of the eye or buffed out as a brow bone highlight. I completely recommend going to get the neutral shades if you're trying to build your neutral collection (Test my Teal is a skip unless you really want that shade of teal). They are great basic colors and the green is beautiful and you should just own it anyway.
Happy shopping and the next part with the permanent collection is coming soon! Toodles~

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A Milwaukee police officer accused of illegally strip-searching criminal suspects will be tried separately from three similar defendants charged to a much smaller extent.
Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wagner agreed Tuesday morning to have officer Michael Vagnini's case considered separately from those of Jacob Knight, Brian Kozolek, and Jeffrey Dollhopf.
Vagnini is charged with 25 counts of illegal strip searches, sexual assault, and misconduct in public office. The other officers are charged with a combined 8 counts of strip searches and misconduct.
Prosecutors said the three were merely present in most of the instances in which Vagnini checked suspects' cavities for illegal drugs.
Prosecutors said that in one case, two officers held a suspect's arms while another held a gun to the man's head – and another officer put on a choke hold while searching a man's buttocks for evidence.
Vagnini is scheduled to go on trial April 29th, unless there's a plea deal before then. The other three defendants are now set for trials on June 3rd.
Judge Wagner will hear pre-trial requests on February 20th.

Terrafugia has moved one step closer to bringing the world a flying "car."
A future of flying cars is still probably a long ways away from happening - if it ever makes it that far - but at least there's some baby steps taking place that are heading in that direction.
Terrafugia Inc., a company responsible for the development of the Transition Roadable Aircraft, has been granted a number of testing exemptions by the Department of Transportation and has since been designated as a road-legal car.
One of the more pertinent exemptions given to the Transition is the use of tires that have been duly rated for highway speeds and vehicle weight, permitting the vehicle to use the same tires it used in past drive and flight tests a few years ago.
UPDATE 04/03/12: The Terrafugia Tradiion Flying Car will make its long awaited debut at the 2012 New York Auto Show. It remains to be seen what kind of modifications Terrafugia has done on the flying car since we last saw it so it should be interesting to see the car-plane on the New York floor.
Hit the jump for more information on the Terrafugia Flying Car as well as a list of specifications.
Another exemption granted to the Tradition was the use of its own polycarbonate windscreen. This windscreen is far different from the ones used by cars because it allows it to be sturdy enough to withstand the pressure of being airborne. It also eliminates the possibility of the glass from fracturing in high-level impacts. These set of new exemptions, as well as other such lee-ways it received a year ago , will be a boon for Terrafugia as it attempts to be one of the first brands to offer a a flying car to the market.
On that end, Terrafugia still has plenty of plans for the Tradition to undergo more extensive testing to ensure that the product meets all the safety standards that goes with a vehicle that has rarely been done in the past.
If all the safety tests are approved, the company is expected to green light the production of the car-plane hybrid, possibly as soon as early as next year. Terrafugia has stated that a piece of this one-of-a-kind hybrid vehicle will sell for around $200,000 with a reserve deposit costing $10,000.
It's still far from a reality, but we're certainly keeping our fingers crossed that the car finally hits production soon. Of course, we're still wary of all the safety tests that's going to be done on the Tradition, but if they do pass all of them, then the thought of seeing flying cars in our cities is going to take a huge leap to becoming more of a reality.
Some features in the next generation design include:
Automotive-style crash safety features including an energy absorbing crush structure in the nose of the vehicle and a rigid safety cage to protect the occupants.
A customized, intuitive touch-screen interface in the cockpit.
An improved wing with an optimized airfoil and a folding mechanism that operates smoothly and safely from inside the cockpit.
A pusher propeller with an open empennage that makes efficient use of the 100 hp Rotax 912S mid-mounted engine in flight and is locked in place when driving.
Rear-wheel drive with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and tuned independent suspension for responsive road handling.

The disjointed story telling parallels the main character's memory lapses, but makes it hard to follow. So I didn't finish as it is difficult to pick up and remember yourself where it is in the plot. Perhaps if I completed, the gaps would come together and make sense. It was a recommended book, but only for a dedicated reader.

Earlier this week, PDN ran a story about a wedding photographer who found himself on the receiving end of a lawsuit for using Coldplay's "Fix You" in a wedding video that went viral on YouTube. The photographer settled for an undisclosed amount, but the bigger picture is what a widespread problem the issue of music copyright has become. We've been talking about this for years. There's definitely a double standard that exists in photography, particularly wedding photography, where photographers are quick to claim copyright on their images, but have no compunction whatsoever about using copyright protected music to accompany their photos, whether in a slideshow, or, God forbid, the homepage of their website. We've seen a number of sites, from relative unknowns, to several of the "rock star photographers" use music to help sell their services. For some, it may be ignorance or a misunderstanding of the law, while, for others, it's simply blatant disregard, a roll of the dice, hoping that they won't get caught.
One of the issues in the article was that clients want the music that was played at their wedding or the song that they fell in love to. From the PDN article: "Photographers are using main stream music more and more and it's a pretty polarizing conversation," says wedding photographer David Jay. "Some photographers really feel passionately about it and think of it as 'stealing' while some artists want to pay but can't and others see it as one artist helping another artist promote what they do." I guess I can sort of understand the promotional aspect, if it were a local band or on a grassroots level, but Switchfoot or, as in the PDN article, Coldplay, probably doesn't need the help of a wedding photographer to get the word out on their music. If photographers really want to take the "one artist helping another" stance, then they should look at podsafe music, which is exactly what we did for our early photo walk videos. Or, take a look at services like Triple Scoop Music or Smart Sound, companies that have catalogs of thousands of royalty free tracks available for a modest fee. Jay goes so far as to say, "I personally don't think it's illegal to use the music and until a judge or jury makes a ruling that it is in this specific type of case I'll probably continue to be OK with photographers doing it." I don't agree. I think it's become the photographer's job to know the law, with regard to what they can and can't use, and educate their clients accordingly. Jay's position is not only a fairly "head in the sand" way to look at the issue, but also a potentially costly one to photographers who actually follow his lead. Here's another way to look at it. Let's say Lady Gaga decides to use one of your photographs for her tour poster and in the slide show during the concert. Since she isn't selling the poster, just using it to drive people to purchase a ticket, a t-shirt, or a CD, you'd have no problem with it, right? Fat chance.
Just because you own the CD or downloaded the music from iTunes doesn't mean you can use that music in a professional capacity, for example, to market yourself or your services. Before the internet, photographers handed out VHS tapes or DVDs to the client, but with the rise of social networking sites like YouTube, Facebook and even services like Twitter, the personal use argument really doesn't hold up. A million views of that slide show on YouTube also means a million listens of the song behind it; a million listens that the artist sees nothing for. So, if you are a professional photographer, using copyright protected music in one of your "promotional" slideshows, whether you charge for it or not, may once have been a gray area, but is now becoming more and more of a target for litigation. Without obtaining a license to use it, you're taking a huge chance, especially with the war on IP and copyright getting so much national attention.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is a gem! We were new to Fort Collins & had previously always had our kids in parochial schools. Didn't like our options in FC and tried Bacon. The school welcomed our kids and made them feel part of the community from the moment they stepped into the building. The teachers, academics & families are GREAT. Character building is interwoven into the school day and the school provides a plethora of enrichment activities for kids who want to expand their learning beyond the regular subjects. The atmosphere is incredible; there's a calmness & happiness projected by the staff that is so refreshing. Hats off to the principal who clearly has a vision for what the elementary school experience should be about!
We spent a few years at this school. The teachers were wonderful people and there were plenty of opportunities for parental involvement. However, we do not feel our children progressed as much as they should have. There is little emphasis on individual student development, even when parents are eager to push their children. Students who fall behind are not given extra work, nor encouraged to catch up. Additionally, there appears to be a lack of leadership and elucidated goals.
Wonderful! We've been very happy there academiclly and socially!! We have only been there one year but it feels like "Home".
An amazing school... our daughter has gone through 2,3 & now 4th grade at Bacon. Our son is in full day kindergarten. I have yet to have a bad experience with a teacher. Mrs. Poduska and Mrs. Biedscheid are simply amazing. I was thinking about trying for the 'Core Knowledge' schools when we first got here... I am so happy we didn't. Bacon is amazing!
This is our first year at Bacon. The staff is wonderful, and there is quite a community feel to the school. Lots of parent involvement too. We are proud to be part of the Bacon family!
My son attended preschool here and I cannot say enough about the preschool program and teachers. They are wonderful, loving teachers who have given him a strong foundation to start kindergarden next year. We pulled him out of another public preK school b/c we were not happy and have bee very impressed here!
My daughter has thrived in this school. She was home schooled until she started school in the thrid grade. Mrs Kurtz did an amazing job of helping us adjust. My only problem with the school is the food they serve. I went to have lunch with my daughter and saw the food the school was serving and I thought is was far from healthy.
Great School, wonderful teachers, organized administration.

Michael Kinsella
Religious studies PhD candidate
University of California, Santa Barbara
Graduated: 2007
Where do you currently work?
I'm currently a Ph.D. student in the Religious Studies Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Tell me about your career?
After graduating from WKU, I spent some time reworking my MA thesis into a monograph for the University Press of Mississippi, published July 2011. The book examines legend-tripping: a folk ritual in which people strive to explore and find manifest events described by supernatural legends. (http://www.upress.state.ms.us/books/1398)
Here at UCSB, I'm specializing in religion in America with an emphasis in cognitive science. I remain principally interested in a range of behaviors and activities that typically fall within the categories of "supernatural," "paranormal," and "magical," and so I continue to work closely with folk narratives and beliefs.
How has folklore prepared you for your career?
My folklore training has enabled me to draw upon a range of methods and genre distinctions in order to develop a more nuanced appreciation of the complex interactions among tradition, belief, and experience. The folkloristic approach that I learned at WKU continues to help guide my inquiries into aspects of life that aren't commonly thought of as religious yet nonetheless influence and are, in many cases, essential components to everyday religious practices.

Governor vetoes Native American mascot bill
Aug 16, 2013 | 1 Comment
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
PORTLAND — Gov. John Kitzhaber has vetoed a bill that would have allowed some Oregon schools to keep their mascots, nicknames and logos that depict Native Americans.
The bill would have reversed part of a ban on Native American mascots imposed by the state Board of Education: If they got approval of the nearest tribe, schools could keep the mascots.
Under the board's ban, schools with mascots such as the Braves, Indians or Chieftains will have to drop the name by 2017 or risk losing state funding.
Schools called the Warriors can keep the nickname but cannot have a logo that depicts Native Americans.
Critics of Native American mascots say they reinforce stereotypes and promote hostility. Supporters say they're a source of pride.

Guide to State College Cover Bands
Posted by Stephen Smith on 06/03 at 10:27 AM
Seeing as how State College is a cover-oriented music town, I figured I might as well point folks in the right direction. I've compiled a list of the more reputable and enduring cover bands in the area. It contains the usual time and place of their performances, as well as what genre of music they play. I cannot give you my personal opinion of all of them, since I have only seen a handful. But I have separated the list into bands I have seen (top half), and bands that I have not (bottom half). I've also added links to other Blue Robot reviews where ones exist. Of course, I encourage you to go out, hear them all, and form your own opinion of them. As this list becomes outdated, I would recommend you check out StateCollege.com (http://www.statecollege.com/bartour/) to get updated dates and times

If You Build It
Posted by Stephen Smith on 04/21 at 02:18 PM
As a music reviewer for the Blue Robot blog, I've gotten a good taste of the music scene in State College. As I near the end of my tenure, I've noticed that the music scene is mostly comprised of two types of performances: cover bands and Bryce Jordan Center-caliber celebrities. In this great college town of ours, it surprises me that there really aren't any locations truly dedicated to the cultivation of original music for the aspiring young musician.

John Schmitt - Sticking It to the Man
Posted by Stephen Smith on 04/12 at 12:03 PM
John Schmitt informed the audience between songs that he had quit "slaving away for the man" to pursue a career in music. After hearing his set, I'd have to say I'm glad he told his boss to shove it.
The Buffalo-native performed for the SPA's Noontime Concert Series last Friday. He did not bring any accompaniment for this show, instead relying on his vocals and acoustic guitar to do the job. That said, he created a very full sound by himself. His guitar (a Gibson Hummingbird Pro Cutaway, I believe) had an even, beautiful sound that meshed perfectly with his voice, which was spectacular in its own right. The stripped down solo set-up created an intimate atmosphere that complimented the overcast drizzle outside the HUB.

The Pennharmonics - An A Cappelluva Good Show
Posted by Stephen Smith on 03/09 at 01:33 PM
How many a cappella groups claim to be the "sexiest a cappella group in the universe?" How many a cappella groups have harmoniously sung the verse, "They're climbing in your windows, they're snatching your people up," or have artistically explored the question of what tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze? The Pennharmonics' performance last Friday for the SPA's Noontime Concert Series was the first a cappella group I've seen since high school chorus assemblies. I was fully expecting a rigid, polite affair where energy and emotion is sacrificed for the sake of perfect pitch. However, with their modern song choice, stage presence, and vocal skill, the Pennharmonics prove that a fun, energetic, and contemporary a cappella group is actually possible.

Students Shine in Noontime Showcase
Posted by Stephen Smith on 03/02 at 12:15 PM
This week's Noontime Concert Series featured the first of several showcases highlighting original acts within the Penn State student body. Hosted by SPA, last Friday's edition featured five acts of varying genres, from folk to acoustic rock to rap. All of the artists' sets were mostly comprised of original material.
As usual, the HUB was bustling to accommodate the lunch rush. However, as I walked towards the concert area and found a seat, I noticed a change in the atmosphere. There was definitely a sense of youthful enthusiasm that is typically found at an open mic, but with an edge of professionalism. These students had auditioned to be in the concert, and this created a higher level of performance and crowd expectation. Roughly 30 people were in attendance at the start of the show, increasing to around 60 people by the middle of the concert.

Matt Beilis Puts On Solid Show at Noontime Series
Posted by Stephen Smith on 02/22 at 04:09 PM
Maybe it was the excitement of THON. Maybe it was the unusually warm weather in a typically bitter February. Maybe it was the fast approaching weekend. Probably for all of these reasons, campus was humming with excitement on Friday. Flocks of students were decked in fluorescent shorts and T-shirts. The wheels from bikes and skateboards rolled through puddles of melted snow. The air was practically crawling with electricity.
New York musician Matt Beilis added to the voltage with his performance at noon on Friday in the HUB, continuing the Student Programming Association's weekly Noontime Concert Series. Beilis and his supporting cast did not disappoint a fluctuating crowd of lunch-goers and passers-by. Looking around before the start of the show, I was a little disappointed that the audience was half comprised of SPA organizers. However, the attendance grew rapidly after the band's lengthy and meticulous sound-check—an unfortunate side effect of the HUB's open acoustics. Perhaps sensing the crowd's apprehension, Matt jumped right into the show, starting the setlist without a word.

The Lowdown on Lowjack
Posted by Stephen Smith on 02/15 at 03:35 PM
The stage is buried in a small corner room in the basement of Bar Bleu. The artfully painted walls support a low ceiling. There are two booths along the back wall and tiny two-person tables lining the perimeter of the room. This basement area also contains a second bar, an even smaller corner room for mingling, and a set of bathrooms. All of this is located below the first level, which is more spacious with comfortable seating, a much larger bar, and half-a-dozen hi-def TVs. Such disparity between floors led me to believe that live entertainment was not highly valued at this sports bar. But after listening to Lowjack perform, I see now that Bar Bleu knows what it's doing.

If I had to use one word to describe the 1997 harvest, it would be complex. While this was one of our earliest harvests ever, the fruit didnt process any of the qualities normally associated with a hot vintage. The sugar levels were slightly higher than previous years and the overall balance was perfect. Color extraction was the best Ive ever seen at Chimney Rock. In fact, many of the lots that went into this wine were virtually opaque. The finished wine is packed with ripe fruit and juicy berry flavors. It is concentrated, firmly structured and thick. Best of all, it tastes great. -Doug Fletcher, Winemaker

Hello, friends and bannermen. The Season 4 Game of Thrones finale played out like A Million Ways to Die in Westeros. How did it match up with the books? How did it differ?
[Warning: If you're a Game of Thrones fan who has stumbled upon this chat and haven't read the books yet, begone! Instead, check out our postmortem for "The Children" for a spoiler-free discussion.]
Game of Thrones has already broken many of its rules this season. What's one more?Fans of HBO's epic fantasy series have been trained to expect a huge, possibly devastating game-changer in the penultimate episode of every season, followed by a more sedate 10th episode finale to deal with the aftermath. This year instead, major deaths and events have been peppered throughout Season 4, leaving its fans unsettled and unsure of what to expect. Alex Graves, who directed Sunday's finale (9/8c, HBO), promises more surprises in a 10th episode like no other. read more

"This is a work of fiction," an onscreen prologue says. "It is not 'based on a true story.' It is a drama inspired by actual persons in a trial, but it is neither an attempt to depict the actual persons, nor to comment upon the trial or its outcome."
Some of those words are surely there at the suggestions of lawyers, but they also force viewers to think critically about what they are about to see — to question the conventions of docudrama that TV has taught us to accept with the line, "Based on a true story."
A group called Friends of Lana Clarkson wrote to me on March 6 when I first blogged about the film and expressed concern "about how Lana is portrayed." Saying members of the group had not seen the film, a spokesman asked me to share details with him, something I could not do under terms of the screening agreement.
But there was a real person named Lana Clarkson who died in the real mansion of a real guy named Phil Spector in 2003. How will this work of "fiction" affect that reality? That's a complicated question, and I can't answer it.
The takeaway for me is that "Phil Spector" is another example of television, more than any other medium, raising such questions in American life these days.
After 30 years of being told by people who claim not to watch TV that it is "dumbing down" the culture," I can't help but feel vindicated when I see films like this being made by folks like Levinson, Mamet, Pacino and Mirren.
Rather than the medium for "vidiots," as it was once called by some critics, TV has become not only the principal but also the most engaging, sophisticated and provocative storyteller in American life.
On TV
"Phil Spector" premieres at 9 p.m. Sunday on HBO, with encores.

How to Benefit From Housing and Rental Demand
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The housing market has made a surprisingly quick recovery at the same time as rental markets appear to be continuing along a solid path. Investors can play both trends with the right stocks.
Homes and rentals
Blackstone has been in the news for a couple of years for its efforts in the housing market. The company now owns around 20,000 single family homes and it isn't the only institutional player in the space. This appears to have placed a floor under the housing market, allowing prices and demand to bounce higher.
Meanwhile, individual home ownership rates are slumping. This means that more families are renting than was the case before the housing-led 2007 to 2009 recession. Reasons from tight lending standards to changes in the workplace are cited for the shift. Regardless of the reason, more renters is good news for Blackstone and others trying to create an institutional market out of single family homes.
How to join the party
Investors wishing to jump aboard the improvement in the single family home market have clear options. So, too, do investors looking to tap the strength of the rental market. Stepping back, however, investors can get access to both markets with the right companies.
Here are some to look at:
Ethan Allen (NYSE: ETH) and Williams-Sonoma (NYSE: WSM)
Buying a new home usually means making changes before you move in. That would lead to increased sales at hardware stores. However, renters like to live in nice homes, too. Only a renter isn't going to do renovation work on a home they don't own. Thus, stores that sell furniture and home accessories are likely to see more renter traffic. Of course outfitting a new home also brings homeowners to such stores.
Ethan Allen owns 300 stores, that it calls "design centers," selling furnishings and interior design needs. Part of the company's allure is its ability to help customers with the interior design process. This has been a key differentiating factor as the furniture business has been hard hit by cheap Asian imports.
The company's top and bottom lines took a big hit during the recession, but now appear to be heading in the right direction. The shares are up nicely from their single-digit lows in 2008, but that doesn't mean that there isn't long-term appeal from here as it cashes in on renters and homeowners.
Williams-Sonoma, meanwhile, sells home furnishing, cookware, and "home accents" across its nearly 600 stores, and via the internet and catalogs. It owns the Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, PBteen, Rejuvenation, Mark and Graham, and West Elm brands.
Although the company's bottom line took a steep dive during the recession, its top line remained fairly strong. That fact provided a lot of support for the company's shares, which are again reaching all-time highs. Part of the company's strength today stems from its decision to use the the recession to cut costs and prepare for the future.
The company's Pottery Barn brands make up a big chunk of its top line, but with just 600 stores in a fragmented market, it likely has plenty of room to grow. International efforts make growth even more alluring. For aggressive investors seeking a growth story, this could be a good option.
Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW)
Although painting is usually the responsibility of a rental property's owner, that often means drab white paint. Just like new homeowners, however, renters of single family homes will probably want a little more pizazz in their lives. Painting is an easy and cost effective way to do that. And a new coat of paint does wonders for selling a home, too.
Sherwin-Williams is a clear leader in the paint market, targeting professionals. It owns over 4,000 of its namesake stores and the Sherwin-Williams, Dutch Boy, Minwax, and Water Seal brands, among many others. It, too, has international operations and aspirations.
Sales at this paint giant got hurt early on in the housing meltdown, but owning its own retail network allowed the company to avoid too much damage. In fact, the company continued to increase the annual dividend payment right through the recession. With earnings back on track and a solid business, the shares have seen a pretty impressive run. They are most appropriate for momentum investors.
Playing both sides
While there are companies set to benefit from home sales or renters, finding companies that can play both trends offers both more upside and increased downside protection. Home furnishings and paint are two areas that fit the bill.

My jetta started to make this loud noise on the back, when I breaked. It was like a rumble, and sometimes I could hear pulsations. I took it to midas (because I hate my VW dealer), and they told they were surprised I had never had to do any work on the brakes before. They needed to replace the back rotors and pads, resurface the front breaks, and replace the break fluid.
Before this happened, I always took my car to the VW dealer for every service. I never miss a service. I find it amazing that the dealer had never found anything wrong with my brakes. Anyways Midas is fixing them now for $800

WHAT IF your top 5 personal ideas met collaborative action, write here. A TED BUCKET LIST of ideas worth spreading w/ angels in the wings.
Are you open to hook up with someone who can place action to ideas... ? Collaboration > Ideation > Action...
Whether you need a hand, or can lend one, together can we map our dreams, make them happen... personal ideas worth spreading with angels like you who can help make them fly... [dreams for you, for earth or for your children]
[some verve required]
Closing Statement from Terry Torok
IF we could see and hear each others dreams and desires, we might be able to connect with humankind in a more peaceful and productive way... placing our dreams "out loud" may give us a chance to reach them and help others reach theirs.
Do you know what your best friends dreams are? Does your best friend know yours?
Thanks to all of you who share your dreams... it's an amazing list... With someone's help, I hope to bring it to another level. These are all perfectly possible, sweet dreams, Terry Torok

Franis EngelAug 25 2011: Hi Terry - it's a kick to read all the 161 comments so far! Actually, I've had a list like this for awhile, with many completions crossed off. Currently...
1. Figure out a way to feature conversations about what is so interesting about all the closet geniuses I know. I want to help them get the recognition they deserve before they die, (a couple of them who have invented amazing innovations should be talking on TED.)
2. Innovate a effective means to teach Alexander Technique without using hands-on - by web cam perhaps. Or maybe just teach more classes.
3. I lived in Bolinas, CA for thirty years, and I think that I can create another ride like that somewhere else, using my experience there as a template for creating a real, live community...(as opposed to an "intentional" community.) But I don't know where exactly.
4. Popularize my dream invention of outlining improvisational performance - ongoing: out4improv Probably, I can't even imagine how fun that would be.
5. Figure out passive income ways to offer the benefits of my experience and observations to more people, so I can continue doing projects indefinitely and making them available to those who find them useful.
Franis EngelSep 15 2011: Glad for your interest, Terry! It's gratifying being an Angel in what I can manage, (for me, it's the meaning of my last name.) Do you know about www.kickstarter.com for attracting Angels?
1. Such as: Mr. Natural, who invented a reverse-engineered jazz theory music course and a short-hand for music notation; Jacques Kelly, consciousness changer; Michael Miley, researcher of unusual ideas and phenomena; Dennis Rivers, communication enhancer; Barbara Sher, the Grandma of coaching; Bill Wesley, microtonal instrument designer, another sailor who's gone around the world a few times, a past life reader, a healer by sound, an animal psychic, a World Cafe questioner...and many more.
2. Check out http://www.performanceshool.com for some interesting articles on how to learn the Alexander Technique without a teacher - from some of my colleagues who have continued the work of our teacher, an amazing original thinker, Marj Barstow. I'm working on an e-book too...
3. Perhaps I would write a handbook or series of videos on how to turn your own small town into a real community & how to start your own small town phone book.
4. Loosely arranging improvisational music and performance: http://www.franis.org/out4improv/ Actually, this is the one I'd probably like to do the most. It is also the one that needs the most help because it's the most original - like nothing you've seen before.
5. Selling a patch repair material, a guild for contractors that's also a gallery portfolio, various info stuff such as ideas about scheduling for senior care to attract nicer caretakers, advice on how to make money painting murals, tele-workshops on creativity and thinking skills, youtube videos on little tips like how to grow your hair long, how to juggle, hitchhiking for women, tiny art books that are almost greeting cards, learning to be a graphic recorder...(Of course, this list goes on as the ideas continue...)
Sep 25 2011: ...
I have linked many to the links above... very interested in further dialogue on 2 & 4 with my work with www.lalelaproject.org and writing [ i am ] ideas, art and music curriculum... your list is of great substance and really enjoy the links... I am also in final phase launch of a "kickstarter" for humanitarian ideas... i am feeling very very good about the ROHI...

New features broaden high-speed sorter's market
Hytrol Conveyor Co. has released the Elite series of Prosort 400 sorters with a new line-up of features that expand its functionality into individual product and parcel handling, in addition to handling totes and cases.
"We've specifically created this model with a minimal gap between the anodized aluminum slats," explained Brandy Lloyd, engineer. "This provides full product support and accommodates handling of small, discrete items and parcels."
"We've also added an electric divert switch option—in addition to our pneumatic offering—for facilities that want to achieve speeds up to 700 feet per minute, or prefer to not have air equipment," he said.
Capable of diverting positively from left- or right-hand sides at 22- and 30-degree angles, the sorter is equipped with a completely sealed, lubricated carrying chain.
"The number 100 pre-lubricated o-ring roller chain with precision bearings is sealed to not only keep debris out of the chain, but to also eliminate maintenance and associated downtime," added Lloyd.
Further, a new three-year warranty is offered on Elite models equipped with Hytrol's Prologix PLC-based controls package that directs sorter operation from induction point through divert confirmation—including sorter diagnostics, said Lloyd. "With our PLC, installations are very easy and trouble-free."

Task Force hails introduction of transgender-inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act in U.S. House of Representatives
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
Task Force, first national organization to advocate for federal nondiscrimination legislation in 1974, plays leading role in ensuring ENDA explicitly includes transgender people
WASHINGTON, April 24 — The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Inc., applauds today's introduction of the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would protect against workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The measure was introduced by Reps. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), Deborah Pryce (R-Ohio), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and Chris Shays (R-Conn.).
ENDA would provide legal recourse to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the 33 states that don't currently have employment nondiscrimination laws that cover sexual orientation and to transgender people in the 42 states that do not provide protection on the basis of gender identity or expression.
The Task Force was the first national organization to advocate for federal nondiscrimination protections when it worked with then-U.S. Reps. Bella Abzug and Ed Koch, both New York Democrats, to introduce a sweeping bill in 1974. The Task Force has also played a leading role in ensuring ENDA is explicitly inclusive of transgender people. Eight years ago, the Task Force vowed to oppose the legislation if it were not inclusive, prompting criticism from some community members and allies who felt the Task Force was hindering ENDA's progress. The Task Force has remained steadfast and partnered with transgender activists and organizations to defend and secure a transgender-inclusive ENDA and has strongly encouraged LGBT colleague organizations to do the same.
Statement by Matt Foreman, Executive Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
"We vowed we would not support an Employment Non-Discrimination Act that left behind the transgender members of our community. We were willing to go to the mat on this, and the measure introduced today is the direct result of that perseverance and our profound belief that equality is not to be divvied out to a select few; it is a fundamental human right for all. Today marks a critical milestone for our community and our country. For decades, a majority of the American people have supported protecting our community from discrimination. Congress needs to act, at long last, this year."

Visit the Task Force's ENDA Action Center.
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

While U.S. Olympic athletes are taking home medals in Sochi today, some a little closer to home are practicing for special events of their own.
It hasn't always been easy for Katrina Ollila to solve the puzzles that come from having a hearing impairment."She used to be a very shy, little girl that didn't want to do anything. She would just sit in her room," says Ollila's father Todd Gonser. But look around her room and you'll see there are a lot more pieces to this 16-year-old."Now, you can't get her to stop talking, you can't get her to stop playing, she loves everything. It's like you can't get that genie back in the bottle," says Todd. "My husband and I always say she's blossomed," says Ollila's mother Jennifer Gonser. Looking through old pictures, you can hardly believe that this little girl has now earned a special nickname on the basketball court."I gave her a nickname, animal, I think last year because she was out there playing like an animal," says Area 12 Special Olympics director Ken Stockert. Animal for her ferocious play as a Special Olympic athlete."We tried regular sports, and gymnastics through the school system, and it was just too hard for her and she was getting distracted," says JenniferBut now, there's not a sport Ollila won't try. "She plays them all," says Jennifer. And it's even become a family affair. Ollila's parents and three brothers all help out. "I like basketball because I play sports myself, and my brothers are partners, so I like when they watch," says Ollila"They always say kids spell love "T-I-M-E," and that's the biggest thing. We all spend time together," says Todd.Now, Ollila passes her confidence on to her younger team members. "She's almost like a big sister sometimes to the little ones of the team," says Jennifer.
"My teammates are fun to play with, and I get along with them," says Ollila. So, at home, at school and in sports, Ollila gives it her all."Being almost completely deaf, she doesn't let that hold her back," says Stockert. And it's safe to say Special Olympics was that missing piece that helped her complete her puzzle.
Ollila will be competing with her team at the state Special Olympics basketball tournament in Minot on March 7 and 8. She and her family will be participating in Dickinson's Polar Plunge event benefiting Area 12 Special Olympics on March 29.

I have been looking for a multifolding case for the Le Pan TC 970 Tablet. I bought several slip on cases and even a slip on folding case but none would suit my needs for the tablet. I found the Case Logic Univwersal 9-10.1 Tablet Folio. I tried it and it was exactly what I was looking for. I have wasted a lot of money trying other cases.

The N.Y. Mets/St. Lucie Mets donated $5,000 to the Chuck Hill Unit of the Boys & Girls Club in Port St. Lucie to help save the club and keep kids in a safe environment.
In a time when hundreds of children and teens in the county are not receiving the guidance they need to graduate from high school, avoid the effects of violence, gangs and drugs or become responsible adults, the Boys & Girls Club of St. Lucie County is there to help children and young adults.
In September, the Boys & Girls Club announced the Chuck Hill Unit was in danger of closing its doors if $150,000 wasn't raised by the end of the year to help fund the club.
It costs the organization $1,000 per child to have them as members after school per year. Costs are kept as low as $10 per year for members, as many are in the free or reduced lunch program.
The N.Y. Mets/St. Lucie Mets donated $5,000 to sponsor club members to attend the Chuck Hill Unit and participate in their effective youth development programs.
"The Mets are a big part of the community and see the importance of helping the youth in the county," said Paul Taglieri, director of Florida operations for the Mets.
"After touring the clubhouse, it only takes a moment to see how these programs enhance the lives of all the children attending and help them reach their full potential."
The Chuck Hill Unit opened its doors one year ago in a response to a neighborhood in need of a youth development program and currently serves 150 members.
To tour a Boys & Girls Club, please call (772)460-9918.
