Our member, AppLovin, is a marketing platform that provides marketing analytics and insights to brands who want to reach their customers on mobile platforms. AppLovin is celebrating the new era of tvOS by inviting developers to win big prizes by participating in their Apple TV App Challenge!
Apps are the future of TV and the Apple TV App Challenge aims to cultivate innovation on this new platform and contribute to the TV app ecosystem. The Apple TV App Challenge consists of two different challenges: the tvOS App Contest and the one-day tvOS Hackathon. Developers can choose to participate in one or both of the challenges.
The tvOS App Contest is broken into two categories: Original Apps and Ports. The Original Apps category gives developers the chance to submit completely new, unpublished Apple TV apps by March 31st. The top 3 apps in this contest will take home $25,000, $5,000 and $1,000 respectively. The Ports category is for unpublished Ports of iOS apps with incredible tvOS-native features. One winner in the Ports category will receive $5,000. Finalists in both categories will have the opportunity to present their apps to developers, VC's and Journalists.
The other half of the Apple TV App Challenge is the One-Day tvOS Hackathon. AppLovin is hosting a Hackathon for tvOS developers in their San Francisco offices the weekend of April 16-17. Over the course of 24 hours, developers will be asked to make a creative tvOS app from scratch. The two chosen winners from this event will receive $5,000 and the chance to demo their app to journalists, VCs and other influencers.
What are you waiting for? Space is limited so hurry and sign up!

Note: I have removed references to other ANDERSON's in Newfoundland cited in Seary, for clarity.
Modern status: Especially on the South and West Coasts
In Small's Diary we find this passage "Now we come to Upper Burgeo. That place was settled by Anderson's before old Mr. Matthews came here in 1796. How many of them came and when I do not know, nor have I ever heard any person say in the first years that the writer has been here. I think it is understood that this family or families came from Burin and that there were two brothers. The Great Grandsons say they were of Scotch descent." Perhaps lending credance to "John and William, traders who sustained losses when St. Pierre was surrendered to the French in 1763 (CO 194.16)" could this be the two brothers Small speaks of?
Upon reading this one can begin to understand why the ANDERSON family(s) are probably the hardest family of the South West Coast to understand who was related to who and why.Early Instances:

We are still housebound. Flu and strep running rampant. That's what going back to school gets you!
Being stuck in the house is hard for me. The kids have been managing by making forts from all the pillows and blankets in the house. I'm not even trying to pick those up yet! We had pirates in the kitchen and living room yesterday, complete with the music and costumes!
I decided (why?) that it was a great time to redo the boy's walk-in closet. They share a bedroom and it was a true mess. Stay tuned for before and after photos (hopefully today!)
I've been watching the crazy animals in my backyard. The birds and squirrels actually beg now if I let them run out of food. I have one squirrel that will walk up to the window or back door and peer in with little doe eyes to beg! I have lots of hummingbirds already, and scarlet tanagers (which I haven't had before here.) The hummers aren't as plentiful as last year yet, but they are steadily increasing. Here's a clip of last year's crazy birds.

Semantic Content Access using Domain-Independent NLP Ontologies
We present a lightweight, user-centred approach for document navigation and analysis that is based on an ontology of text mining results. This allows us to bring the result of existing text mining pipelines directly to end users. Our approach is domain-independent and relies on existing NLP analysis tasks such as automatic multi-document summarization, clustering, question-answering, and opinion mining. Users can interactively trigger semantic processing services for tasks such as analyzing product reviews, daily news, or other document sets.

My own style has changed in the past year to become simpler, as I shed most of my prints and colourful items. (I gave myself a year to wear the neon items I had bought, then happily sold them on eBay) I do have a few key printed / coloured pieces but I try not to over wear these as I inevitably get sick of them. Moving states each time allows me to clear out and get rid of pieces whilst reaffirming what goes into this capsule collection. I will say that when I first got back to Perth I had one suitcase to my name, but imagine it would now be closer to one and a half (despite my recent eBay efforts). I could blame this on packing for winter, and having few summer items, or blame it on working with friend and stylist Mikey Walton who always seems to have cool items left over from shoots (luckily I fit into these!) or it could be that I have accumulated a few more pairs of shoes.
In 2014, I may even buy a new handbag… and hardly any shoes… :)
The rules still apply though- only buy it if it goes with a heap of other things, is of good quality, fits properly, is easily washed, will not 'date' in a year, and I have to LOVE it.
Over the past few months I have been heavily reviewing this blog, its content, my relationship with it and its readers, where I would like to take it and of course the name. The name part is the trickiest. I chose the current one without a plan to do much more than blog once or twice, then never really found the right name to reflect what I was all about. I don't always talk about fashion in my everyday life- I tend to get that out of my system here, so I am keen to reflect on my other interests in future. While all of this is a work in progress, stay tuned, and I will let you know once I am ready to relaunch new name, look, probably domain and format.
A special thank you to everyone who has made this such a fun year. Despite my moving, unconventional nature, I am thankful to live happily, to accept and practice patience at the same time as develop my ambitions and give back the love I get to others. I am also thankful of the patience and understanding demonstrated by my family who live without my presence a lot, and the continuing support of my friends locally, nationally and internationally. I miss time with each and hold them in my thoughts and heart. I am thankful to all of my readers, their comments, return visits and patience while I reboot in a new direction.
Thank you for the time and efforts generously given by the photographers who have kindly shot with me this year, namely, Mario Recchia, Benjamin Galbraith, Heidy Saeran, Donna Dee, Emma Robinson, my Mum (three times! and she did a great job!), James Witty and Laura Liy.
Thank you to all of the PR agents, stores, designers and volunteers who have invited me to attend shows, sent me products to review and shared this blog.
I wish everyone a wonderful New Year and excellent start to 2014.
If you have any requests of what you would like to see me write more about in 2014, please let me know by commenting below or emailing me.

I hate to be the voice of doom here, but please think twice about posting pictures of your little ones on the net! After watching Oprah yesterday, this is so fresh in my mind. I've never posted pics of my dd, and I don't want to come off as "holier than thou", but there are some very scary predators out there.....and they have ways of tracking people down, that's what scares me the most.
I do hope you accept this in the way it's meant to be...just a gentle warning, I'm sure you would NEVER put your children in harms way intentionally.
That being said, I do love your blog and read it religiously!!!!!
LOL! That's priceless! :)ReplyDelete
Gotta love dads.

LOL What a great shot! And what a cool babysitter. I bet all the kids in the neighborhood would love to have your husband babysit them ;)ReplyDelete

Home › Forums › Plugin Support › Advanced Search Widget › Could you share your settings for Jobroller combination ?
This topic contains 13 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by odc2tu 6 years, 1 month ago.
April 13, 2013 at 1:01 am #2122
I saw this link on another website showing your plugin working with jobroller http://demo.wedevs.com/jobroller/
I tried and it works perfectly so i bought your plugin but i can't get to make it works as on your website.
Could you share the settings to make advanced search works with jobroller like on this link ? I tried setting the taxonomy from dropdown menu
1.Job_cat + multi select + In
2.Job-type + multi select + In
3.Job_salary + multi select + In
Post, job listing and resumles are ticked on "post types"
Problems are:
> it doesn't work, it shows on sidebar, but no results when i test it
> Settings reset by themselves to "category" msot of the time immediately after i save the settigns (some times after few minutes) (in the drop down menu then there is just "category" or "post_tag" as choice, the taxonomies disparear, i have recreate everything (and still it's not working then because it reset again)
> When i set a color background, the fields and labels are very close to the border, i guess it's jsut some css in style.css to change, but i don't know which lines.
> I don't understand the difference between "in", And" "not in" and how they affect the search
Second part of my post, i'd like to know f it's possible to have create 2 widget with 2 differents settings so i could place on widget with advanced search for job listing and one widget that could be seen only on "search resume" sidebar for those who have access to it, and a specific search for resumes. As for now it can create a whole advanced search togheter with taxonomies from jobs listings search and resumes search but i really would like to separate the 2 search you know?
ThanksApril 13, 2013 at 3:36 am #2128
Hi there,
Thanks for buying this plugin. Answers are bellow –
1. Jobroller theme overwrite WordPress default search. Please change your search.php file with this one – http://pastebin.com/QrTJvPkL
(themes/jobroller/search.php) file.
2. settings – its weird ! Shouldn't happen this kind of problem.
3. you can tweak your theme style.css file or, from widget settings option
4. in = true with search logic , and = when you search more than 2 logic,
not in = when you want to show false/oposite results
-> Sorry, currently it doesn't supports multi-form. But, in next release we will add multi-form feature, however there is no ETA for that.
Thanks.April 13, 2013 at 12:14 pm #2147
Thanks for the help but it still not working 🙁
1. I did it , replacing APP_TD with appthemes because i still have the 1.6.4 version. (i tried leaving APP_TD at first just in case but it was not working either)
When i try to search, sometimes it will says "no results found", sometimes it will give me ALL my job listings + ALL the pages , articles of the website and sometimes it will show an error message
Warning: strip_tags() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in/home/XXXXX/public_html/XXXXX/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 3195
line 3195 says: $string = strip_tags($string);
2.Each time i save it still reset to "category" i have to refresh so that it returns to what i initially set (my taxonomies)April 13, 2013 at 12:27 pm #2148
i realize that entering a label with space seems to create the error message and the reset problem
i tried with a label called "job listing" > taxonomy reset to "category" + when i search i got the error message mentionned above.
then if i just name it "test" it doesn't reset and no mroe erro message on search
Anyway, when i search, it's still "no results found", error message, or all job listings + all pages showingApril 13, 2013 at 10:26 pm #2158
edit: Only search field is working correctlyApril 13, 2013 at 10:44 pm #2159
sorry for being late.
I deleted v1.6.4 so, can't do test my self now. This link might be help for you.
and, my previous search.php file code was for v1.6.5 . So, please make sure you are not messing up.
Cheers.April 13, 2013 at 11:08 pm #2160
it works doing the change to theme-functions! thanks, i never could have guess it myself !
Can't wait for the multi form feature, hope it will really come true soon.April 13, 2013 at 11:11 pm #2161
Glad to know its working fine for you.
marking this topic as resolved.April 13, 2013 at 11:15 pm #2163
On multi select search even if i get my results i still got the erro message i mentionned above, any idea how to fix this?
Warning: strip_tags() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in/home/XXXXX/public_html/XXXXX/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 3195
line 3195 says: $string = strip_tags($string);April 13, 2013 at 11:22 pm #2164
i think its coming from your search.php file. Please replace it with original v1.6.4 file.
and, only commit
printf( "
", print_r($wp_query, true) );
similar to this image –April 13, 2013 at 11:45 pm #2165
Stil lgot the error message 🙁April 13, 2013 at 11:58 pm #2166
i can see in your file
query_posts($args);still exist.
Please just put "//" before that line. around 72 line .April 14, 2013 at 12:05 am #2167
did it like on your image with the "//"April 14, 2013 at 12:26 pm #2176
Never mind, i just realize i couldn't do my project.
I needed a multi form search one for job listing search and a second for resumes search, so i bought few weeks ago job super search plugin on appthemes marketplace that was supposed to do what i needed but the problem is that it never worked like it was supposed. Resumes search modules works, but job listing search modules doens't work well.
So i thought that i could combine your plugin and his. You know, Yours for job listing search on job listing sidebar and his (the resumes modules) for resumes search on resumes sidebar.
The problem is that it seems to create a conflict between both when they are both activated making your plugin not working (resumes search with his plugin still works, it's weird), because when i click on search, i get absolutely all jobs listings as results (featured and not featured. When i deactivate his plugin, your work again normally.
So i'll have to wait that your plugin becomes multi forms to complete my project, because the author of the other plugin don't care that his plugin don't fully work, he released 3 updates, and none fixing the problems.
Hope multi forms will appear soon on your plugin, that would be amazing.
The topic 'Could you share your settings for Jobroller combination ?' is closed to new replies.

In recent weeks the New York Lottery's Minute to Win It posters and their exuberant spokesman have attracted loads of dickish comments. This emerging super attractor of defacement also illustrates an odd side effect of the now standard vinyl platform poster. The poster material is not just cleanable, much to the liking of the advertisers, but also re-defaceable, much to the liking of smart aleck scrawlers and their fans at New York Dick.
For several years the material used for subway platform posters has increasingly been a self adhesive vinyl. These posters are much easier to install than the traditional paper posers which needed to be pasted on to the poster frame with thick liquid paste. Their nonporous plastic-like surface can also be cleaned with solvents, something that the paper posters could not stand up to. This easy clean poster material makes possible ever evolving layers of verbal and graphic dialog, and our friend representing the New York Lottery really gets the conversation started.
In our first example our spokesman is aptly and specifically dubbed "cornball royale", the impression is that this graffitist isn't writing that phrase on just any poster they encounter, it seems to be a unique comment about this ad and it's spokesman, very nice work. But such accuracy could be a problem for the sponsor of this ad, something must be done, soon.
Alas not soon enough. The second iteration shows a standard word "tag" defacement, which does further break up the "cornball" face making it even less persuasive, but is not especially clever. Unless the meaning is that James Cameron's film "Avatar" is in fact an outstanding example of "cornball royale," very true but that's probably not what's going on with this defacement. This poster is becoming an image problem, and the media maintenance team is ready to apply the solution.
Ad power regained. In the third phase the doofus comments are stripped away leaving a vague cloudy smear (although it's impossible to fix the rip cracking right through cornball's head.)
The cycle of defacement life begins again. In the fourth and final (for now) evolutionary stage our beloved former cornball sprouts a very odd mustache right on top of his only slightly odd real mustache, loses a tooth, and gains subtle but stylish square frame glasses. Our spokesman is cornball royale no more, but he's still an outstanding idiot magnet and an ever adapting winner in the evolutionary defacement struggle.
NYD congratulates our adaptive defacers and the rich gene pool of annoying advertisers that supplies their inspiration.

About Nunavik
A Land of Contrasting Seasons
In summer, night never falls over the tundra. Whether hunting seal, beluga or walrus, fishing, or gathering foods, Inuit take advantage of the long days to carry out the time-honoured harvesting practices that have been passed on to them by their ancestors. The sea, in particular, has always been a rich source of food important to the survival of this people.
Summer is an ideal time to visit Nunavik. The region is alive with wildlife such as caribou doe and their newborn calves, as well as roaming black bear and musk-ox. Migratory waterfowl such as Canada geese and eider duck, which construct their nests on offshore islands and await the hatching of their young, make Nunavik their temporary home along with a panoply of other smaller birds.
Nunavik is a vast region, where the majestic tundra definitively overcomes the taiga forest.
In winter, though the sun rises for only a few brief hours, its rays make the snow-covered landscape sparkle brilliantly. Certainly, this season in Nunavik is quite unlike any other experience. The long, cold nights regularly offer Northerners a unique display. Throughout the star-filled sky, green, pink and purple Northern Lights weave and spin: flowing gently at first, then bursting into a scene of furious agitation, before calming once again.
Deepest winter is accompanied by clear skies and an average temperature of -25°C. In this clime, prudence must always be practised: a few short hours are more than enough time for the weather to erupt unexpectedly into a raging blizzard.

Homemade Air Freshener
When you've got a big family, keeping your car smelling fresh, or even keeping odors out, can become a challenge! Call in your crafty kids to help make this homemade air freshener, perfect for stowing in the backseat to keep your ride – and your passengers – smelling fresh and clean.
What You Need:
- Cardboard
- Pencil
- Optional: cookie cutters
- Scissors
- Glue
- Fabric pieces
- Stapler
- Hole punch
- Ribbon
- Aromatic essential oil (from herbal shops or natural grocery stores)
What You Do:
- Explain to your child that car air fresheners purchased in stores typically contain chemicals that can be harmful to the environment, whereas homemade air fresheners are chemical-free.
- Let her use a cookie cutter to trace a shape with pencil on cardboard, or let her draw the shape freehand.
- Have her use scissors to cut out the shape from the cardboard.
- Let her trace the cardboard onto the backs of two pieces of fabric with a pencil, then can cut out the shapes.
- Next, she should align the fabric shapes to each side of the cardboard. She'll use glue or a stapler to attach the fabric pieces to each side.
- Find a nice aromatic essential oil that you and your child like such as lavender, lemongrass, eucalyptus, or other.
- Let her put a few drops of the oil on each side of her fabric-covered cardboard. In case the fabric you chose is susceptible to stains, she may want to arrange drops in a design such as lights on a tree, spots on a butterfly or sparkles on a star. (Stains will most likely disappear after the oil completely dries.)
- Help her use the hole punch to make a hole for a ribbon tie, or staple it to one side of the freshener. Hang it from your car's rear-view mirror and enjoy the fresh scent!

Pastel and mixed media artist Dawn Emerson has been featured in our competition book Strokes of Genius. She was recently in our photo studio doing work for her upcoming book with us, Pastel Innovations. I wanted to share some of the excitement and show one of her interesting techniques. Inside the book you'll find a lot of great techniques. One that I found really different is the way she uses a brayer to draw. You can change the angle of the brayer to create lines, marks, texture and more for backgrounds in your pieces. You can even alter the brayer for more unique shapes and lines. Read below and give it a try yourself!
Dawn Emerson covers each of these drawing techniques with the brayer in her new book. Now that you have the basics down, try doing some alteration. The brayer can be used as a rolling stamp. You can add lines and shapes with string, tape, pastel and more to create interesting new marks with just the one simple tool: the brayer!

Twitch Gets Facebook-Like Social Feed
Can't stop watching someone's Twitch streams? The game-streaming platform is making it easier for you to engage with that person, instead of just lurking like a creeper.
Twitch on Monday launched Pulse, a Facebook-like social feed that lets broadcasters and viewers interact. You can follow your favorite streamers, get updates from them right from the Twitch front page, and like and comment on content they post.
Streamers can share clips, stream highlights, schedules, photos, and more to keep their communities engaged and informed. As a streamer, posts you create on your channel will also now appear on Pulse on the front page for all your friends and followers. Twitch said this will help streamers grow their followings, and engage with followers even when they're not broadcasting.
Twitch started rolling out the new social feed yesterday and said it will reach all logged-in users over the next few weeks. Pulse will also be available in the Twitch mobile app. Unlike on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, where algorithms determine the order of posts you see, Pulse updates will appear chronologically for the time being.
"Our goal is to connect viewers with the content that they're most likely interested in," Twitch's Sheila Raju wrote in a blog post. "Going forward, we will be working to determine the best way of surfacing posts to do just that."
At this point, Pulse does not support some common social media features like hashtags or @mentions. If you have feedback about Pulse, send it to Twitch here. For more on how to use the new feature, head here and watch the video above.

It's only Week 1, but Lovie Smith's seat is already getting warmer after the Bucs' dismal outing against Marcus Mariota and the Titans.
This was not the kind of history Lovie Smith wanted for his 2015 Buccaneers team. When top overall pick Jameis Winston threw a pick-six on his first NFL pass, he became the first quarterback since Brett Favre to do so, and Winston showed that he's got a long way to go before he's going to be mentioned in the same breath as Favre in any other capacity. Meanwhile, Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota, the second overall pick, shredded Smith's defense for four touchdowns in the first half and a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating—more first-game history, and all bad for Smith's team.
Smith, who put together an 81-63 record as the Bears' head coach from 2004 through 2012, was hired by Tampa Bay before the 2014 season for two primary reasons: The franchise thought he'd be a bastion of stability after the uneven tenures of Greg Schiano and Raheem Morris, and Smith's well-deserved reputation as a great defensive coach would propel a unit with truly great players like tackle Gerald McCoy, linebacker Lavonte David and cornerback Alterraun Verner to a new level. The defense really didn't show up that much in 2014; one of the reasons the Bucs had the first overall pick with a 2-14 record.
Perhaps more disturbing than the continued defensive regression is Smith's lack of severity when discussing it. His postgame reaction to getting housed 42-14 by a Titans offense without many true playmakers, one that was led by a rookie quarterback who was supposed to have far more trouble with his NFL transition than Winston, made Smith sound like a man who had run out of answers and was content to rely on platitudes. Smith is notoriously flat-lined emotionally after the most vivid moments, but this was a good time to make some kind of definitive statement. Neither Smith nor his team were able to do so—on the field, or after the game.
• MORE NFL: Mariota's first touchdown pass | Manziel tosses TD in relief
"Just total disappointment," the coach said. "We've had good workouts. You think you're ready, but you need to get to this first game and see exactly where you are. We're not there yet, and when you have a effort like this, it's not like there's one thing you can point your finger at. All of us—we all had a part in this."
Very true, but the fact that Smith kept pointing to the idea that "it's just one game" was worrisome. Perhaps he was trying to make the fans feel better, or mitigate the damage to his team, but the damage is real, and it doesn't seem like there are many answers to be found right now.
• SI.com's complete Week 1 coverage hub
"There's no doubt that affects you," Smith said about his team's early 14-0 deficit. "We had pretty good play to start off, had a little bit of momentum early on, but we let them have big plays. Shouldn't give up a 52-yard pass right away, and if you do get in a hole like that, you need to answer. We answered the wrong way."
In a contest between the two top draft picks, Smith's team unfortunately made it more about the two worst teams of the 2014 season facing off against each other—with only one looking improved in any capacity. If that continues, the Buccaneers might be looking for a new head coach for the third time in the last half-decade.

Jingle Bell Run Honors Local Arthritis Warrior
Six-year-old fights juvenile arthritis every day
SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - In a Carmichael home where a family with three boys under 10 live, super heroes are widely respected, and even part of the décor. Breakfast is served on top of Avenger placemats and Superman and Thor are nearby. Ironically, the kid eating his cereal from a bowl placed on top of Black Panther (his favorite) is a superhero in his own right. He is sharing his own battle with juvenile arthritis to bring awareness to the disease.
Six-year-old Jeremy Kelley will leave Black Panther behind and don a reindeer suit for a day the whole family is celebrating. Jeremy will be leading the Reindeer Games and Kid Run at the Arthritis Foundation's 2018 Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis, supported by Sutter Health (where Jeremy's mom works). The race takes place on December 9.
"Our honorees and volunteers are what make this event memorable every year, and this year we're humbled to honor Jeremy Kelley who, along with his parents, is a true arthritis warrior," says Heather Funk, the Arthritis Foundations' Pacific Southwest region development director. "We are all pulling for him to be able to finish the Kid Run."
Jeremy's warrior-status journey started right before his third birthday. He was simply doing what kids do when they are three, but had a decidedly different outcome.
"Jeremy jumped off the couch in the living room and onto a beanbag chair," his mother, Jaime Kelley says. In a few days, his leg was swollen to triple its size. X-rays didn't show any damage, but Jeremy didn't improve over time. Clearly, jumping off the couch was not the issue.
The Kelleys went to their own pediatrician, were referred to Shriners Hospital and got an appointment several months later. By that time both knees and an ankle were severely swollen, and Jeremy was back to crawling. Doctors there did testing, but were also stumped by Jeremy's severe symptoms. Shriner Hospital suggested taking Jeremy to UC San Francisco, where doctors there gave him aggressive joint injections. They worked.
"He started running around like crazy, the previous six months seemed like a bad dream," Jaime Kelley remembers. "We couldn't believe we had Jeremy back."
Unfortunately, the "miracle" really wasn't. Despite Jeremy's new-found mobility, the disease wasn't subsiding. More shots followed, and injecting the medicine was up to mom. Jeremy developed a bad case of shot anxiety, turning the household into turmoil when it was time for yet another one. Knowing the injection routine was impacting the family and hoping the disease was in remission, the doctors decided to give Jeremy a break from the rigid shot regime. The symptoms returned.
So now the Kelleys are in management mode, continuing with the injections sometimes, seeing a therapist for the shot trauma — and coping. Pain is still prevalent, and doctors say the remedy is harsh: push through it.
"It's something we will just have to deal with," says Jaime, "Right now we are trying yoga." Grateful for the help she received from the Foundation, Jaime is now an Arthritis Foundation activist who mentors— and learns from — other parents and the staff and board of the Foundation.
Andrew Pete, service line director for Perioperative Services at Sutter Medical Center Sacramento, is the Northern California Arthritis Foundation chair. He is one of many Sutter Health community volunteers who donate expertise and services to nonprofits throughout the region.
"People assume that arthritis is a condition you get when you get old," Pete says. "But our Arthritis Warrior Jeremy confirms that kids get arthritis too. We want people to know the symptoms and get help because there are treatments available."
Juvenile arthritis affects more than 300,000 children in the U.S., a figure experts consider on the low side. Considering the obstacles and determination parents must endure to convince their medical provider that the symptoms are more than just kids being kids, the disease is underreported and appallingly undertreated.
The Arthritis Foundation is trying to change the trajectory of misdiagnosis by funding cutting-edge research for new treatments and discovering a cure, advocating for health care access, and offering support to victims of the disease.
The Jingle Bell Run is part of that strategy. It is a holiday event where at least 1,000 people will gather at Sacramento's Crocker Park to join the movement to conquer the disease. The 5K run encourages participants to dress in festive costumes and get moving to raise awareness and funds to cure America's #1 cause of disability. To register, visit, www.jbr.org/Sacramento
Meanwhile, Jeremy loves to escape his trials and play Pie Face, a game-in-a-box with rules that dictate that if you are the unlucky opponent, a lever slaps whip cream all over your face. Jeremy thinks it's hilarious.

The nightly hunt has begun. You're a hunter; and a hunter hunts. That's all you need to know. Amongst the streets of Yharnam, teeming with inhuman beasts, lying scoundrels, and soon to be much worse, you must remain vigilant and inventive if you're to survive until morning, if it ever comes.
This game is fantastic. Forget superlatives, it's one of the best games I've ever played. After I finished the Dark Souls II remaster, I felt like the series, while not stale, did need to start to innovate. From Software swapped the setting from faux-medieval ruin to faux-victorian ruin, sped the game up tremendously, and spun their best narrative-via-atmosphere yet. It's a host of minor and medium size adjustments that makes the scheme fresh again. It was rewarding, immersive, and I've seen many forms of media riff on H.P Lovecraft but extremely rarely as well as Bloodborne. The Shadow over Innsmouth tribute is gets it without being derivative.
The city of Yharnam is famous for its speciality science slash religion of blood ministration. Through something termed 'blood healing', humans can imbibe blood (the source of which becomes known during the course of the game) to heal wounds and gain special properties. Or devolve into mindless beasts as it so happens. You, the hunter, journeys to this world, ready to hunt and untangle its mysteries. This is From's most focused narrative yet. While it's still highly ambiguous and distant from any kind of straightforward plot, it's much easier to get a sense of the world, of its history and just what the hell is going on. It's rarely vague for the sake of being vague and invites exploration and theorizing.
But of course, this is a less a game of direct narrative and more one of atmosphere. It's creepy and unsettling often. This can range from giant bosses that are hideous to behold to more low-key scares; there's a guy behind a locked door who keeps asking for a password. After you finally locate the password and knock on the door, as soon as you open it all you're greeted with is a long dead corpse perched on a stool. The sound design is excellent — there's one skeletal boss who is literally screaming at you the entire time and it's the sort of things where you want to laugh and shudder at the same time.
Mechanically, the hunter controls like a speedier and smoother version of a Dark Souls character. But the major differences come in your available armament. First of all, there's no shields, just a joke version that proclaims that shields 'engender passivity' and should be avoided. So if you never learned how to dodge in the previous games (or never played them), and chose to hide behind your shield, now's the time to learn. Next, your character has a gun. A gun that does much lower damage than melee and cannot function as a primary source of damage (unless you specialize heavily in a gun-specific stat) but they can be used to parry enemies if you shoot them while they're attacking you. Lastly, instead of a host of different kinds of medieval weaponry with slightly modified movesets, Bloodborne has a much smaller list of weapons, but they're almost entirely unique. And each weapon, termed a 'trick weapon' in the game's lore, can be transformed into a different weapon. For instance, the saw-cleaver is a simple cleaver and upon transforming the hunter flips out the blade in the opposite direction and it's a long-range saw. There's also a cane with a whip inside of it. Yeah. Or, Ludwig's Holy Blade is a simple sword until the hunter attaches it to its sheath and swings the entire thing as a massive, ornate greatsword.
The gameplay isn't perfect. The camera is suspiciously poor at times and enemies seem capable of clipping their weapons through walls and pillars in a way that they couldn't in the other Souls games. The potion system that does not reset on death is also a step backward. But these are trifling. There's just something immensely satisfying about learning how to control your hunter, perfect your weapon handling and use your acquired knowledge and skill to learn and take down successively terrifying bosses.

Hate hearing Christmas songs before the holiday season? You're not alone, Scrooge.
In fact, it's both common and quite normal to be annoyed when "Jingle Bells," or any one of the other merry-making melodies associated with Christmas, begin blaring through your speakers too far ahead of Dec. 25, according to clinical psychologist Linda Blair.
She told Sky News hearing Christmas songs too early can be hazardous to a person's mental health.
Blair explained that the songs often serve as a reminder of the many things left undone as the holidays approach, leaving reluctant listeners stressed about gifts they've not yet purchased, menu planning that must be done, caterers that need to be hired, travel that's yet to be organized and more.
"You're simply spending all of your energy trying not to hear what you're hearing," she told Sky News.
She went on to say that store clerks run the highest risk of being worn down by joyful holiday jingles, which often play all day long in retail spaces and leave them fighting to "tune it out" and "unable to focus on anything else."
"Christmas music is likely to irritate people if it's played too loudly and too early," Blair explained.
Year after year retailers rush to break out Christmas decorations and holiday-themed advertisements, putting consumers in the holiday spending spirit. This phenomena is known as the Christmas Creep and gets a little earlier each year.
A recent study conducted by the Tampa Bay Times found that some retailers had begun spreading Christmas cheer as early as Oct. 22.
While retailers seem to subscribe to the thinking that earlier is better, Danny Turner, a programming executive with Mood Media, told the publication he advises retailers to be careful what music they opt to play.
Turner said he warns against the use of novelty and repetitive songs, citing "The 12 Days of Christmas" as an example.
"The one I have in mind is 'The 12 Days of Christmas'…Once I'm at the third day, I'm counting how many days are left. You don't want any songs that feel like they last for 12 days," he said.

Gazprom wins North African energy deal
Published time: 10 Dec, 2007 12:43 Edited time: 10 Dec, 2007 15:43
Gazprom has secured one of four oil and gas exploration contracts in Libya. Three other contracts were awarded to Shell, Algeria's Sonatrak and Polish company Polski.
Gazprom will develop an area of about four thousand square kilometers. It contains mainly oil, with reserves of approximately 20 million tonnes.
The company beat off competition by agreeing to cede 90% of its eventual production to Libya's state-owned National Oil Corporation.
Another Russian energy company, Lukoil, failed to win any contracts.
Two weeks before the tender, Lukoil's representative in Tripoli was arrested and accused of spying.

I Play Math Games does it family style
Charles Lund came up with the concept for I Play Math Games (IPMG Publishing) back in the mid-80s. At the time, he was the director of math curriculum for St. Paul's public schools, and he'd developed an interest in creating interactive and fun ways for children to learn the material.
Over time, Lund began working with Bill Gaslin – a math education PhD and former superintendent – and his two sons Marty and Joel Gaslin. When Lund passed away about a decade ago, his wife offered to sell the company to the Gaslins, who accepted and took over operations.
Now, one man's brainchild has become the enduring passion for an entrepreneurial family.
When the company started nearly 30 years ago, it was called White Bear Publishing. Lund produced games and activities that would appear in books and collections to be be sold at educational events around the country. Today, the Gaslins have updated the products and brand by transitioning into the digital era, developing math games for web browsers, SMART boards and most importantly, mobile apps.
The two brothers and their father comprise the entirety of IPMG's staff; Marty and Bill provide valuable insight as both are deeply rooted in the educational profession, whereas business-minded Joel serves as CEO.
"There's myriad data out there that shows that games and activities are a great way for kids to learn," says Joel, "because if you can play a game and win, you've demonstrated that you know the content of the underlying driver of that game."
To develop their apps, IPMG works with Minneapolis-based Clockwork Active Media Systems, first mapping out the architecture and game flow in Flash and then porting over to Apple's platform. This gives them the freedom to keep a browser-friendly version of the game that can be played on their website (or an interactive whiteboard) in addition to the dedicated mobile app.
"We're really trying to make it so that the product is available to anyone who wants to use it," the CEO explains.
In 2010, IPMG launched Tic Tac Math, which became the first iPad game to be demoed at a National Council of Teachers of Mathematics meeting. As its name would suggest, the app enables users to compete in a game of tic-tac-toe by completing equations. It was very well received at the conference, helping them build momentum, and is now available digitally in three different iterations both online and on Apple's iOS (currently the only mobile platform they're developing for because, as Joel says, "It's really hard to monetize outside of Apple.") The flagship game has been downloaded about 20,000 times.
Going forward, the company hopes to cultivate a repository of digital games and create a system wherein parents and educators can go online and complete an assessment for their kids and be directed to specific mobile apps that match up to areas of deficiency. Joel calls this type of personalized, interactive learning the "consumerization of education."
Kids might just call it "fun."

The media are full of headlines about war, sexual assault, inequality, obesity, cancer risk, environmental destruction, economic crisis, and other disasters. It's enough to make people think that the world of their children and grandchildren will be worse than today's world.
But the real story, which rarely makes headlines, is that, to paraphrase Indur Goklany's book title, we are living longer, healthier, more comfortable lives on a cleaner and more peaceful planet. (Allister Heath summed up his argument in a cover story for the Spectator of London, without all the charts and tables.) Fortunately, beyond the headlines, more people do seem to be recognizing this.
The Cato Institute, for instance, has created an ever-expanding website on human progress, known simply as HumanProgress.org.
Here's Steven Pinker expanding on the information in his book The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined in Slate:
The world is not falling apart. The kinds of violence to which most people are vulnerable—homicide, rape, battering, child abuse—have been in steady decline in most of the world. Autocracy is giving way to democracy. Wars between states—by far the most destructive of all conflicts—are all but obsolete.
He has charts of the data in each of those areas. And here's Pinker at the Cato Institute discussing why people are so pessimistic when the real trends are so good:

I found two good ways to get 3D content (from an ancient VRML file) out of Blender, and out on the open web where anyone with a browser can see them without a plugin. So I'd like to compare X3DOM vs. Three.js.
I loaded a COLLADA file into Three.js:
And I loaded an X3D file with X3DOM:
You can drag your mouse on either of those to move them around. Each button gives you a different motion when you drag. Each example uses each button in a different way.
And there they are. X3DOM vs. three.js. Not side-by-side, but 0ne on top of the other at least. Both running in your browser, without a plugin.
They certainly look different. Though, each comes from a different type of file. The difference could arise from different information about materials, textures, shading, and lighting contained in the files. Or, they could simply be rendering differently. I think one of them looks "better" – though, the way the other one looks is more suited to what I want to use it for. (I like the deeply shaded, glossy look of the three.js one.)
The X3D file is way smaller. 133K, compared to 298K for the COLLADA file. But again, the fancy lighting and shading – that could simply be one of the benefits of using a more equipped, and heavier to move, file format.
I think I like the "orbit controls" on the three.js example a little better – I find the controls on the X3DOM one a little harder to handle.
But those are pretty superficial observations. Under the hood, these two approaches are really quite different.
X3DOM vs. Three.js – under the hood.
One difference is that three.js is a framework for WebGL. Which is to say, without WebGL in place, it just isn't going to try. That's all it does – act as a framework for WebGL. X3DOM, on the other hand, uses a "fallback" system. If you don't have OpenGL2.0, it'll try OpenGL1. If you don't have that, but have a sufficiently advanced Flash player – it will try that. And it goes on to try a couple of other things I've not heard of, if none of the above works.
That implies that X3DOM will work in some places that Three.js will not. And sure enough – I tried one of the household beater laptops that doesn't run OpenGL2.0 – and cannot show Three.js stuff – and the X3DOM content shows. One more point for X3DOM vs. Three.js!
Still, I'm going to stick to my modus operandum of being a "tool agnostic". I'm going to learn about both, and keep an eye out for which situations would clearly call for one over the other. For example, thinking on my Virtual Silver Maple Keys demo – in my mind, that totally calls for three.js, because it's a totally programmatical construct. It's nice to have handles on everything that's rendering, rather than having the handles part of the DOM. Quick and dirty array work, no muss no fuss.
Though, for something like the "scene" from a virtual world (twice) at the top of this post – I'd think, in general, that would be more of a candidate for using X3DOM. It isn't structurally programmatic. It would be nice to have handles to the bits and pieces, through the DOM – it could interact with other things on the page. Quite unlike the maple keys.
Anyway, there's a quick look at X3DOM vs. Three.js. Two very different tools, that both do something I'm very interested in – allow you to publish 3D content and virtual worlds on the open web, without a plugin.

The 50's Sailor dress is a vintage style dress inspired by pin-up photos and dresses of the time. It is made of about 4.5 yards of navy fabric, with about 1/2 a yard of white fabric in the collar and a bow made out of two 45′ x 2.5′ red fabric. It took about a week to make, and was entirely constructed and drafted by me (sans the hair bow).
There is a single post on making this dress.
There is a single post of photos.

I can't resist posting this photo of the Brooklyn Bridge with the power out, against a dark New York sky:
If you haven't read it, David McCullough's The Great Bridge, about the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, is a truly wonderful book. I couldn't recommend it more highly. It includes one of my favorite stories: how bridge-builder Jonathan Roebling, founder of the Roebling Wire Co. and the father of the principal builder of the Brooklyn Bridge, Civil War hero Washington Roebling, got the first wire strand across the Niagara River when he built a suspension bridge just above (if memory serves) Niagara Falls, where the fast-running current didn't permit the usual method of sending the wire over by boat.
Also, while none of the Power Line crew are precisely feminists by modern definition, we have among us eight daughters. So we appreciate the book's feminist angle, centered on Washington Roebling's wife Emily, daughter of Union general Gouvernour K. Warren, Washington's Civil War commander, who played a heroic and indispensable role in the construction of the bridge after her husband was disabled by…well, just read the book. Please. These people deserve to be remembered.

If you have read the Makeup Geek gel liner post this post probably need no further explanation. If you haven't, well, I'm pretty sure that the title of this post gives you a pretty good clue on what it's about. ;)
NOTE: As usual with my eyeshadow swatches the swatch to the left is on bare skin and the one to the right is on top of NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk. Please, keep this in mind. :)
Nautica is absolutely fantastic! It's got amazing pigmentation and a pretty, shimmery finish. It's somewhat similar to Deep truth by M.A.C. but definitely not a dupe, since Nautica is more "stormy blue" if that makes any sense.
Boo berry is the one I liked least of this lot. It is quite poorly pigmented, as you can see on the swatches, and a bit chalky in its appearance. I guess it might be good for blending a black/blue smokey eye, though.
Drama Queen is a dark purple with a shimmery finish. It is very pigmented indeed but I just wish it would be more purple and less brown. It is a great eyeshadow, though, so if you like the color, go for it. :)
Peach smoothie is a warm nude, peach which is definitely not my kind of color (as you all might know ;) ), but I bet it would look fantastic on someone with a warmer, darker skin tone than me. It's pretty pigmented and pops a lot when put over the white base.
Creme brulé is certainly a delicious name for this delicious eyeshadow. It is a medium sandy brownish-orangey color and as stated on the Makeup Geek website it would make a great shadow for blending a brown smokey eye (or adding warmth to a black one...). I'm definitely going to try this as a blush as well, maybe not on myself but on someone with darker skin.
Prom night is a pale purple with hints of gray in it. Along with Nautica it is my favorite among this lot. It is superpigmented and the color is pretty. I thought it would be very similar to Twilight but this one is much colder (I guess you could put it that way...) and I actually like Prom night better. :)
So, what do you guys think of these shadows? Have you tried any of them yet? Which one is your favorite? :)
Disclosure: The product(s) shown in this post have been sent to me by the brand(s) for use or possible review. This however, does not in any way affect my opinions about the product(s) and I assure you that all of the opinions stated are my own. You, my dear reader, are my priority number one and I would never recommend a product that I do not think is worth spending money on.

I don't own "Prom Night" or "Twilight", but as I saw the swatches in the MUG site, I also thought they reminded each other. :DSvaraRadera
(But also liked the "Prom Night" better <--- obviously only by looking the swatches) :)

End of the day I settled on a Nikon CoolPix S30, which is geared towards use for the whole family and you know what? It's awesome. It's waterproof, shock proof and has fun features like borders and filters that are appealing to kids. It's also takes really great video. It's as kid-proof as a 'real' camera can be and I got it on sale so the entire gift - camera, memory card and case - was around $100. Quite proud of myself, can you tell?
My point? BEST GIFT EVER. I wanted her to have it mainly because we were headed off to Mexico with extended fam and all of us are photo-takers. I didn't want her asking to use our good camera or my iPhone - because clearly they'd end up buried in the sand - but figured that it would be fun to see our trip through her lens as well as my own.
OMG. I was so right, you guys! She doesn't pick up the camera that often, but when she does the results are pure gold. I recently downloaded her photos onto my computer and the idea for this series was born. I just have to share these pictures.
In this first installment in 'Pictures by Bella', all photos are from our vacation in Mexico this February. They are in chronological order. Almost all of the photos were taken by Bella herself, but a select few were only art-directed by her - mainly because her arms were too short for selfies. Or because she wanted a few photos of herself that featured more than just a close-up of half her squinting face. I haven't edited them in any way other than cropping a few to save space or remove the odd unsuspecting tourist from the shots. Hope you'll find them as entertaing as I do - enjoy!
|Clearly not my best angle but still a sweet shot of a tired Mommy and adorable Ever on the plane.
|Happy Nana on the plane.
|Ever testing out the sleeping arrangements upon arrival. She took about 400 in this series but I love the lighting and composition of this one. She's so artsy.
|A classic back-lit silhouette I like to call, 'Happy Mommy in Hat'.
|Shots of feet is a recurring theme in her work.
|Shots of herself in reflection is another recurring theme. This one is complex.
|I call this one, 'Poor Sofie'.
|This begins a selfie series: Photo taken by me, art directed by Bella, starring Dad and Bella.
|Amazing family selfie: Photo taken by Cairn, Art Directed by Bella, photo-bombed by that kid drowning his brother in the background.
|Mom + Bella selfie on the ferry to Cozumel: Photo taken by me, Art Directed by Bella, Photo-Bombed by the really angry dude behind me.
|Shadow selfie: Another recurring theme.
|Bella taking a photo of Papa's viewfinder displaying Bella displaying her own viewfinder. Existentialism.
|Amazing photo of Papa. Also that guy's shirt in the background.
|Yes I drank the whole thing.
|Leaving Cozumel on the scariest ferry ever. Fear significantly dulled by giant margaritas (mine not Bella's).
|Another in the feet series. This time, mine and hers in Tulum.
|Everley cuteness in Tulum.
|Sandcastles in Tulum: Photo taken by me, Art Directed by Bella.
|Okay this one is actually just taken by me. But HOT DAD!
|Sometimes the artists signature "blur" works in the subjects favour. As in this shot, where it is masking a multitude of post-partum imperfections.
|Underwater feet!
|Unabashed poor parenting and less than desirable water safety.
|Greatest photo of all time.
|There's a less blurry version of this adorbs shot, but it features my bosom in an not-safe-for-work way.

Hi! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I truly enjoy reading through your articles. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same subjects? Thank you so much!


text: Another nice day in Santa Cruz.... so I went to change over the soft top to the Taylor Mesh top, when I noticed after taking off the soft top a slight gouge in the passenger front side of the rollbar (hard to see in the pic). Its the part right behind the soft top hinge (upper). I don't like cuts, gouges, or cracks in that stuff... doesn't make it look as pretty either. The damaged appeared was limited to the clearcoat of the carbon fiber so no biggy. The culprit was the silver cable hinge of the soft top. It wasn't set in perfectly and its center offset, which when rotated, acted like a sharp knife to the clearcoat. I brought a file to its rough sharp edges and rounded them. I also brought the height down some without comprising the hinges integrity. Don't need to bring it down all that much, the sharp edges are the real killer. I have 6,800 on the odometer so keep an eye on that area of your roadster. I usually take a walk around the car at any opening/closing points or anything that can vibrate/move and rub. Doors to jams, hoods to fenders, trunk to rear, etc... The hinge part I filed down is the flathead that the cable feeds into, not the allen head.

Captain Francesco Schettino has been allowed back on board the Costa Concordia, more than two years after it ran aground off an Italian island.
The ship, with more than 4,000 people on board, ran aground in January 2012, killing at least 32 people. The 290-metre luxury liner, twice the size of the Titanic, has remained half-submerged since.
In this gallery, IBTimesUK tells the story of the disaster through 20 powerful photos.

Rosh HaShana, the Jewish New Year is in just a few days, so now is the time to dedicate a few hours to making wonderful cards to wish our family, friends and neighbors a wonderful new year, filled with blessings. And since the standard card may produce a bit of a yawn from the crafters in your home, why not do something special and make a Rosh HaShana basket of blessings? It is like a card, only a much more unique experience, since the pieces are removed from the basket in order to read them......and then of course the basket can be displayed as a decoration for the holiday!
I held a little crafting session with some 4th grade boys from the neighborhood, which was such a pleasure, and this little basket of blessings was the result of two crafting sessions that were roughly 1.5 hours each.
If you are looking for a craft that could easily be done in just one session, take a look at my Rosh HaShana Fish cards, which are one of the elements in the basket, but are great as a stand alone craft as well.

|A Little Spring.
I find that I need consistent encouragement or I just want to give up.
Since I am aware of my need for this, I try to uplift others whenever I can.
I went away to college to be a writer. There were times when I became discouraged and wanted to give up. One of the first uplifting comments I received was after we turned in our first stories to the student newspaper. As I walked across campus feeling a little low, I saw the editor of the paper, who threw her arms in the air, walked toward me, and said, "Tammie Edington. Our copy editor just read your story and he said, 'this girl knows how to write!' " My dejected spirit was lifted and left me walking with a new step.
I still remember that comment from over thirty years ago, so I realize how important words of encouragement can be. I have tried to do that for others:
Whenever I read an article or devotional by a close or Facebook friend, I post it on Facebook and praise them.
When I teach my "Getting the Most Out of the Conference" class at Write-to-Publish, I try to share some encouraging stories. I also share some discouraging things I have experienced to let them know they are not alone in their quest.
I try to leave comments on a colleague's blog to encourage them to keep posting their blog, which can become discouraging.
How about you?
How have you been encouraged?
How do you try to encourage others?

4 Tuna Fillets (about 6 oz each)
1/2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Sea Salt, or coarse Kosher
1/2 tsp Black Pepper, ground
12 baby Red Pontiac Potatoes
1 Roasted Red Bell Pepper
4-6 oz Green Beans, trimmed
4 Eggs
Water for boiling
1/3-1/2 lb Butterhead Lettuce
1/2 cup Fresh Basil
2 Tbsp Fresh Thyme
1/4 cup Fresh Mint
4 Plum Tomatoes, Quartered
2 Tbsp Capers
12 Niçoise Olives
4-8 Anchovies (optional)
1 cup Niçoise Vinaigrette
- Prepare the Tuna:
- Heat a skillet on medium heat with 1/2 Tbsp of the Olive Oil.
- Cut the Tuna into 2″ x 1″ strips.
- Rub with the Salt and Pepper.
- Place the Tuna in the pan, and sear each of the four long sides, watching the small sides to make an even searing to desired done-ness.
- Set in the Refrigerator.
- Place the Eggs in a pot and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil.
- Turn off the heat and let sit for 12-15 minutes.
- Remove and run under cold water, and peel the eggs; in the Refrigerator.
- Return the Water to a boil.
- Add the Potatoes and the Green Beans
- Cook for 4 minutes, until the Green Beans turn bright Green.
- Remove the Beans first, using tongs, and then the Potatoes.
- Run both under cold water and set in the Refrigerator.
- Give all the ingredients at least 20 minutes to cool.
- Prepare wide bowls or salad plates for plating by dividing the Lettuce evenly.
- Tear the Basil and Mint, and divide with the Thyme among the salad plates.
- Quarter the Tomatoes, Potatoes, and Eggs.
- Decoratively divide the Tomatoes, Potatoes, Eggs, and Green Beans among the salad plates. Usually this salad is deconstructed with the different items in piles next to each other on the Lettuce.
- Slice the Tuna pieces perpendicular to the seared sides, in 1/4″ slices, and add to the Salad.
- Add the Capers and Anchovies, and drizzle the Vinaigrette over it.
Serves 4
NOTES: Despite being what one would commonly find in most restaurants and diners in America and what Julia Child's recipe calls Salade Niçoise, it is strikingly different from a true Salade Niçoise from Nice, France or the Côte d'Azur. Most noteworthy is the use of Blanched Potatoes and Green Beans–something not commonly used in the French namesake. Additionally, Mescaline salad would be used, and other items like Artichokes would be present. Still this is the version most Americans will know and recognize, and I find it tasty (without the Anchovies, which I have not yet come to like). OH I should also mention that many of the French recipes use Canned Tuna–I can only assume theirs is not "Chicken of the Sea", though I've seen some marinated vacuum-sealed Tuna that may serve the purpose–and Lord know's most diners use canned.
This salad, is often served as an Entrée, in a similar manner to the Cobb Salad.
I do have to share what Julia Child says about this sald in her book Julia's Kitchen Wisdom:
Of all main-course salads, the Niçoise is my all-time favorite, with its fresh butter-lettuce foundation; its carefully cooked, beautifully green green beans; its colorful contrast of halved hard-boiled eggs, ripe red tomatoes, and black olives; all fortified by chunks of tunafish and freshly opened anchovies. It's a perfect luncheon dish, to my mind, winter, summer, spring, and fall — an inspired combination that pleases everyone.

VIDEO: Coldwell Banker's Latest Hit to Be Released During GrammysPosted in Breaking News, Marketing & Prospecting, Promoting Home Ownership, Social Media, by Graham Wood on January 23, 2014
With the 56th Annual Grammy Awards coming up on Sunday, we're all reminiscing about some of the classic hits over the decades. Coldwell Banker Real Estate has one in mind: Mötley Crüe's anthem "Home Sweet Home." It's the perfect blend of everything that makes music great along with a message of the importance of home. And that makes it the perfect soundtrack to Coldwell Banker's latest advertising campaign.
The real estate giant will air its "Home Sweet Home" commercial during Sunday's Grammys telecast, the second year in a row Coldwell Banker has chosen the coveted nationally televised awards ceremony as the launching pad for its campaigns. The commercial features vignettes of all those little moments of joy after arriving home from a long day — kicking off your shoes, falling into the couch, sinking into the tub — as Mötley Crüe's hit wails in the background.
"Music and home certainly go together, no matter where you are in the world, and we believe we have found the appropriate major events to showcase the emotional value we place in our homes," says Sean Blankenship, Coldwell Banker's senior vice president of marketing. "We felt the words and energy of 'Home Sweet Home' matched the emotional attachment people have with their homes."
The commercial will coincide with Coldwell Banker's social media hashtag campaign, appropriately called #HomeRocks. Coldwell Banker is planning to launch a second ad campaign called "Your Home," which will mark the third campaign in which the company has used the voice of actor Tom Selleck, during the telecast of the Academy Awards on March 2.
"The Grammys and Academy Awards give us a unique opportunity to speak to millions of Americans with a brand message that lays the groundwork for continued dialogue with Coldwell Banker sales professionals," Blankenship says. "Those local, one-on-one conversations are critical because that's where consumers can learn about the positive changes that have occurred in their housing markets."

nice post, interesting article for real estate deals ….
What a great commercial. This truly captures the essence of what owning a home is all about. The feeling you get when pulling into YOUR home at the end of a day is really a great feeling.
They really know how to sell the dream.

This weekend, the Literary Festival came to me at the Hunt Library at NCSU.
There were so many cool activities and authors, and the library itself was a spectacle to look at.
There are also tons of really cool authors doing readings there such as John Claude Bemis, R.L. Stine, and Kelly Starlings-Lyon.
There are also cool workshops, like a comic-making workshop, and a book-making workshop.
There were so many fun activities for kids of all ages, like making your own comic, or recreating a scene from your favorite book with Legos (I did Divergent!), and
finding out how literacy fits in with Math.
One of the coolest things I saw on the first day was the StoryUp! Aerialist group, who recreated some of our favorite fables and stories using aerial silks. Paperhand Puppet Intervention was there, too.
There are so many fun things to do at the Literary Festival for everyone in your family. Sadly I didn't get to do all of things mentioned above because I was out of town part of Saturday, but those were some of the things they offered.
Move over DC (National Book Festival) — you've got competition! (and goooooo Wolfpack!)
Bonus: Our friends from our favorite bookstore, Quail Ridge Books & Music were there with a pop-up bookstore!
Oh, look at the time– I gotta get over to NC State for today's activities! ~LitKid
Postscript from AKid@Heart: Who doesn't love building with Legos? While LitKid made her cool Divergent scene, I decided to try to create a setting from my kids' novel manuscript … the rooftop of the main characters' city apartment building, complete with Tiki shelter (and gliders below), a garden and night-time lights. (Kids have no idea how basic Legos used to be!)

Oh, Brian Swichkow, you shrewd devil, you.
The Vermont-based social marketer entered the pantheon of pranks recently, when he used Facebook's Custom Audience builder to target his poor, unsuspecting roommate. In all fairness, Swichkow was pranked first, so his roommate kind of had it coming.
But, did he go too far? You be the judge.
Facebook's Custom Audience ads appear on the site's sidebars, and are specifically targeted at users based on their personal data. Swichkow's roommate just happened to be a sword swallower, but couldn't swallow pills. Oh, the irony. So, Swichkow decided to create an ad targeted directly at sword swallowers who have trouble swallowing pills.
"Does it seem ironic that swallowing swords is easy and then small pills make you gag?" the ad read. Needless to say, Swichkow's roommate totally freaked out when the ad appeared on his Facebook sidebar. Was he being spied on? Did he unknowingly divulge personal information to the Facebook overlords? Was Big Brother real?
As his paranoia grew, Swichkow took the ads to the next level until, of course, they became sexual in nature. Eventually, the guilt became too much to bear, and Swichkow revealed his prank in the most epic way ever.
A decade ago, a good tar-and-feathering would have done just fine, but with the dawn of Internet privacy concerns and paranoia, this is truly the perfect prank for the millennial age.

Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs Has Created "HMRC Most Wanted" Flickr
Tax evasion cost the United States more than USD $3.09 trillion in the last decade. Across the Atlantic UK government officials have become quite creative to prevent such loses. Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is responsible for collecting taxes and payment of state support, and the administration is taking a rather forward-thinking and nearly wild-west approach to rounding up white-collar criminals wanted in tax evasion crimes.
Get a good look at the faces of fugitives found on the HMRC Most Wanted Flickr page. The release of these images on social media aims to help the organization hunt down the UK's biggest fraudsters. It publishes the photographs and appeals to the public in hopes it will assist and tactic is working reasonably well. Nearly one fourth of the forty images are emblazoned with "Caught and Jailed" while the rest read "Wanted". Those featured do have standing warrants handed down from UK courts in their name and are being investigated by the UK tax authorities. The pictures include information with their location, age, and a brief description of the nature of their crime.
HMRC's counterpart in the US, the Internal Revenue Service, pays sizeable chunks of cash to those who participate in nabbing these crooks. In some cases, individuals who provided information that led to the capture and conviction of tax evading criminals have been awarded upwards of USD $2 million. Typically, the reward is one to fifteen percent of the amount the IRS collects, including taxes, fines, and penalties… up to USD $10 million. However, it's difficult to tell if the HMRC is also offering rewards for such leads.
HMRC has clearly thought outside the box by featuring the images/descriptions on the web-based photography community site rather than on it's uk.gov domain alone. Appealing to the public through social media channels should make it more difficult to pull off tax evasion in the UK indeed and it may act as a deterrent too.
People in the UK may provide tips on the whereabouts of the Most Wanted fugitives via HMRC's Customs, Excise and Fraud-Reporting Hotline (0800 595 000) or through Crimestoppers. A list and image database of fugitives wanted for US white-collar crimes (including tax evasion) can be found on the FBI's website here.
